BY EDDIE QUINN.
The most peculiar baseball game
| ever witnessed, one replete with
smuggling, and featured with the
greatest play l ever saw, was not
a big league affair, or even a
Northwestern league game. but a
semipTofessional game in which a
number of Spokane men engaged.
About II years ago, when Spo-
kane had one of the fastest semi
professional teams in the north
west and was playing kid ball, "
| was invited to fill in on the big
team" to so to Oakesdale, Wash.
On that team was Ed Stopher,
one Of the best athletes Spokane
ever produced, and now mining
man, as pitcher; Billy Connors,
now secretary of the Elks, was
catcher; Con Whalen, who. now
runs a hotel at Nelson, b. c., was
playing left field; Alec Gibson, now
living at Roslyn, Wash. played
first base; Walt McCullum, clerk
at the Walla Walla penitentiary
and many other we'll known Spo-
kaneites.
After banking the Oakesdale
team for seven innings, the home
boys made nine tallies in the
eighth frame, only stopping the

After retiring two men via the

escape.

Mr.. Butler and daughter, Miss
Pearl, had gone to a grange supper
and had left lighted lamp on the
Hitchen table, The daughter, re-
turning home ahead of her father,
saw an unusual bright light in the
kitchen, and hurrying on to the
house, pushed open the door to
find the room in a mass of flames.
She could not get into that por-
tion of the building and when her
father arrived, an entrance was
made through another door, but the
flames meanwhile had gained such
headway that it was impossible to
save but the two chairs that were
near the doo5.
The burned home was frame

bly, furnished. Between $1,000 and
81 800 insurance was carried by Mr..
Butler.

home of Eli Appleman, Valley
township, over Thursday night,
and did not see the ruins of her
home until she returned to Jersey

CHARLES W. RUNYON.
Prominent Merchant and Member OF
Council Suddenly Expired
on Monday Morning
at His Home.
BURIED TODAY AT ALLENTOWN.

This community was startled on
Monday morning by the announce
ment that Charles w Ruuyon was
dead. He expired at his home
at about 3 o'clock a. IN.
He was attending to business as
usual on Saturday, and on Sunday
evening he retired at about half
past ten after reading to his son
Robert who has been i'll for some
months past.
He mentioned the fact that he
had pain in the head, but other
wise gave no indication of illness.
At about 3 O'Clock in the morning
he was attacked with intense pain,
and started for the bath room, say
ing to his wife that there was moth
ing she need do for him.
In little while Mrs Runyon be
came uneasy, and started after him,
and found him lying on bed in an
adjoining bedroom. She spoke to
him and tried to arouse him but he
was unable to speak, though he in
dicated that he understood what
she said by nodding his head.
In a few moments he lapsed into
Inconsistencies, and i'll spite OF ef-
forts to revive him soon passed
away, though the efforts were con-
tinued for some time, and Doctors
Bierman and Brown were called in.
A stroke of apopleXy is supposed to
have been the cause of his death
Mr.. Runyon was born in Starkey,
Schuyler county, New York. His
parents name was Abel, and they
died when he was about three years
old, leaving him and two sisters to
survive them. Soon after Charles
was adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. Lay
ton Runyon then residing in Troy,
Pa, and was always a dutlful son,
never realizing any difference be-
tween his own parents and those
who adopted him.
He passed his youth and young
manhood in Troy, and was married
to Miss Sarah Persons of Allentown
back in the sixties. They came to
Bloomsbury over thirty years ago,
and Mr.. Runyon went i'll partner
ship with his father in the hard
ware business, and about IS years
ago purchased the entire business,
and conducted it successfully ever
since.
He was a director of the Farmers
National Bank from its foundation,
and for the past five years was a
member of the Town Council. lie
was an efficient councilman and a
good citizen. ,
He is survived by his widow, and
one son Robert, at home, ana a
daughter, Mrs. Dr. Bitner, OF Al
lentown.
Funeral services were held at the
house this morning, Rev. +. H.
Hickman officiating, and the re,
mains were taken on the II:2o

REV. 7. II. CULLEN.
Former Rector of st. Panl's Church
Bloomsbury, died in Philadel-
phia on February 18th.
BURIED AT MT. HOLLY, n. J.

The following article is taken
from Tie CHMrchmaR published in
New York, in last week 5 issue:
The Rev. Thomas II. Cullen, a
retired priest of the Diocese of New
Jersey, residing in Philadelphia,
died on February 18th, aged sew
enty-fve years. The committal of
his body was made in ST Andrew $
churchyard, Mt. Holly, N. J., the
Rev. James Stoddard, Rector Of St.
Andrews, and the Rev. Howard +
Thompson, Rector of st. Peters,
officiating
Mr.. Cullen was Rector OF the last
named parish for nearly twenty
years during which time he had al
so charge of Holy Innocents, Beach
Haven, N. j., and was in many
ways prominent in the diocese.
From this, his last rectorship,
he retired more than fifteen years
ago, on account of i'll health. He
had many friends, and many people
remember with gratitude his abund-
ant labors."
The Rev. Thomas H. Cullen
came to Bloomsbury as Rector Of
St. Paul's Church, January 5th,
1868, Be remained here until the
fall of 1870
When he came here the congre-
CATION occupied the old brick
church which stood where the Rec
tory now stands. Early in his rec
torship a movement was started for
the erection OF a new church. The
old one was too small and much di-
lapidated.
These efforts under his leadership
were crowned with Success. The
corner stone of the present hand
some structure was laid or Septem-
Der nth, 1868, and completed ear
ly in 1870. Fer some months pre-
vious to its completion, services
were held in the Court House, the
old church having been pronounced
unsafe for occupancy.
Soon after the new church was
occupied, Mr.. Cullen presented his
resignation. much to the surprise
and regret of the congregation and
vestry He had done splendid
work, and there were no dissensions
of any kind, but he stated that he
had been here seven years, and
with a new church and new paro-
chial activity he felt that new rec
tor also would be beneficial to the
parish. His resignation was reluc-
family accepted, and he and his es-
timable wife left here, bearing with
them the love and respect of their
people, and of the entire communi-
ty.
The stained glass window in the
church near the chancel was the
gift of Mrs. Cullen's Sunday school
class.
1t is Our recollection that Mr..
Cullen came here from Tioga, Pa,
where he was rector of a parish,
and that from here he returned to
the same parish.
He subsequently was called to
where he remained until
i'll health compelled him to retire.
He was a man of most lovable dis
position, a good preacher and a de-
voted pastor, and all who remem-
Der him here will learn of his death
with deep sorrow.

Discovery that the husband she

BRAVEO TEDDYS TEETH ANO SAID SEVERAL THINGS

believed now disbelieve; men who
worshipped then now execrate, and
throughout the country the business
men, as such, are facing panic, and
as lovers of their rights and liber-

Caesar to Napoleon, from Napoleon
to the American Jack Cade.
When given power to shoot the
trusts he drew line between the
good ones and the bad ones. The
steel and sugar trusts were the good
ones; those which would not help
along the shooters political schemes
were the bad ones. So, too, those
who now cry 'Vive lie Roll are good
republicans, and those who are put
ting patriotism above all else, and
therefore, will not join the cry, are
bad republicans.

Democrats MAUI EACH OTHER
Widest TUMULT PREVAILED IN
MASSACHUSETTS CONVENTION.
Police Called to Restore Peace

Officers Struggled With Delegates,
Who Continued to Pound Each
Other. Order Was Finally Re-
stored, and Candidates Nominated.
BOSTON, Mass.-The democratic
state convention broke out in a wild
tumult at the conclusion of the an
nouncement of an indecisive second
ballot for a nominee for governor
early this morning. Delegates
swarmed up over the press seats and
upon the platform.
Chairman Thayer called for the
police, and 20 officers struggled
through the mass of delegates to the
stage. The officers succeeded after
some difficulty in pushing all except
several ardent DELEGATES back upon
the floor of the convention hall
A second effort of the officers to
clear the stage resulted in the start
ing of several fights. Fists were
used freely, and at 1925 a. m. half a
dozen mix-ups were in progress with
the chairman unable to secure order.
