New Baseball Rules.

A substituted pitcher must pitch un-
til the man at bat when the pitcher
takes his position has either been put
out or reaches first base.
In case of interference with a fielder
or batsman the ball is not in play un-
til the pitcher, standing in his position,
holds it and the umpire calls "Play!" |"
A batted ball that touches the per-
son of the umpire or a player "while
on or over fair ground" is a fair hit,
and batted ball that touches the per-
son of the umpire or of player "while
on or over foul ground' is foul hit.
Hereafter in case of players eject
ment from the game by the umpire such
player is out of both game and grounds.
He must either go to the clubhouse or
leave the grounds entirely under penal
ty of forfeiture of the game by the UNI
pire.

| Miss Harriet Gregory writes from
Westchester, Pa, that the Senior
class of the State Normal school at
that place, of which she is a mem
ber, have Just enjoyed a three days
trip to Washington, d. c., which
proved most delightful and in
structive outing. While in the ma
tional capital they had the honor
and pleasure of shaking hands with
man, Speaker Cannon and Admiral
Dewey.
On account of general in
crease of business to which the R.
F. D. routes have largely added,
postmaster Allen has found it
necessary to remodel the postoffice
interior, with a view to affording
more room for the employees. AS
consequence the eastern main en-
trance door has been closed, and
the lobby accommodations some
what restricted; but the change as
a whole seems to give satisfaction
to the patrons of the Office as well
as to those employed in Uncle Sans
service.
Presumably with a view to a
site for the proposed State armory,
Company E has secured an option

berry Place, rs by 200 feet in di-

ture was doomed to destruction.
Fortunately, however, the tide turn
ed at this juncture, and soon it
was realized that the worst-bad
enough at that-was over. Besides
more or less damage from smoke,
water, etc, in all parts of the build
ing, the entire interior of the west
ern half of the building may be re-
garded as practically ruined. Esti-
mates as to the damage vary from
$4,000 to $4,000, which FORUM
ately is fully covered by insurance
The risks were about equally divided
among one borough agencies, so
that no one company will be a suf-
ferer to any very great extent. The
adjusters are expected here to-day
OF course this misfortune will
materially delay the completion of
the building, WHICH it was expected
would be ready for occupancy by
the 1st Of September next.

No Chanc for a Miracle.

One day DR.. Norman Mcleod, who
was a large nj healthy man, and one
of his burly elders went to pay
visit to a certain Mrs. MacLaren Of
the congregation, who lived in the
Scotch Hills. She was frugal wom-
an, but determine, that they should
have the bes. in the house. So she
piled the table with jellies and jam
and preserves and shortbread, and
they partook unsparingly. After the
meal the elder said to her: Mrs.
MacLaren, were you at the kirk on
Sunday" "Oh, i-ye," she said, 81
was" And what did you think Of
the treatment of the miracle?" (the
sermon had been on the loaves and

said Mrs. MacLaren. And what is

new SCHOOL BUILDING
PARTIALLY BURNED
A Destructive Fire of Possibly In
cendiary Origin Damages the
High School to the Extent
of $4,000.

The new and splendid structure
approaching completion as the fu-
ture home of the Honesdale high
school, narrowly escaped total de-
struction on Saturday morning last.
About half-past three David H.
Menner, whose residence is directly
opposite the new building on
Church street, discovered the reflec-
tion of flames somewhere in the
rear of the old wooden structure
which is being utilized while the
new building is being erected, and
at once concluding that the former
was on fire, hurried to the home
of contractor Richard H. Brown, on
Main street, to apprise him of the
fact. By this time, however, others
had discovered the real location of
the trouble, and very shortly after
ward the gong fire alarm was
sounded, bringing out Protection
engine company, with one steamer;
the Alert hook and ladder company
of East Honesdale, and the Chemi-
cal engine company of Texas No. 4.
Hose was attached to several plugs,
most convenient to the conflagra-
tion, and were soon in use; while
the steamer was hurried to the foot
of Tenth street, where considerable
delay was occasioned in securing
water owing to the fact that large
heap of rubbish was found to have
been carelessly deposited just where
the engine should stand
In very creditable time, however,
all the apparatus was effectively at
work, and the various companies
won warm encomiums for the zeal
Gus and efficient manner in which
they discharged their duties. The
fire for some time seemed to be con-
fined to a small apartment or recess
on the south side of the main build
ing, just back of the bay window,
and to this point the first streams
were directed, but it soon became
apparent that the flames were rapid
ly climbing to the upper story, and
that heroic measures must be
adopted to check their advance. 1t
was at this crisis that the utility of
the suburban companies was clear
ly to be recognized. BY the aid of
their long ladders the cornices were
successfully scaled, and the fire.
men were enabled to attack the
flames from above, and to direct
their streams to points where they
must prove effective.
Meantime the fire was persistently
eating it's way among the floor
joints, partitions, ceilings, and every
thing else combustible, until the
entire roof of the eastern half of the
building was involved, and for some
time, despite the heroic exertions
put forth by the firemen, it looked
as though the whole massive struc'

SPRING GUSHES APPLE BRANDY
Farmer Strikes Underground Lake In
Pocket Of Rock In Missouri
Regarded as "unusual."


Pocket Of Rock In Missouri
Regarded as "unusual."
Springfield, Mo.-What chance has
Statewide prohibition in Missouri
when applejack, pure, undiluted apple
brandy, mellow with age, bubbles up
from the ground like a spring? When
drilling a we'll on his farm, seven
miles north Of here, Joel Hazelwand
struck a flow at eighty feet of una
dulterated apple brandy of unusually
fine quality. A dozen bucketfuls of
the liquor have bubbled up through
the hole to-day, and there seems to
be no diminishing in quantity.
Because of the Federal statutes
Hazelwand Is unable to sell his strike,
but neighbors with jugs have been in
vited to help themselves, and dozens
have accepted the invitation.
Biologists here are unable to give
any definite account of the pheno-
menon, though they give credence to
the theory of Uncle Billy" Woodman.
the oldest inhabitant. Uncle Billy"
says there was an orchard on the
sight of Hazelwand's farm before the
civil war, and in the year Of '62 there
was an exceptionally bountiful crop.
Before the harvest all the men in
the country had gone to war and there
was nobody left to gather the crop.
When the apples became ripe ter
rife windstorm blew them from the
trees and practically destroyed the
orchard. The heavy rain that follow.
ed the wind washed the fruit into the
creek, from where they were drawn
into some subterranean stream.
The apples, somewhere in their un-
derground journey were caught in
stream of boiling water and cooked.
This formed the apple brandy, which
filtered into a pocket Of rock and re-
mained there to mellow with age until
tapped by Hazelwand's well.
The geology of this section Of Mis-.
souri, is such that the gathering Of the
brandy in pocket of rock is entirely
practicable, as the whole country Is
underlaid with stratum of Burling-
ton limestone. This limestone is
easily eroded by water, and subterra-
mean lakes are not infrequently found,
although such a lake of apple brandy
is regarded as unusual.
