WHERE WAS THE HOODOO?
oraatosi Wins from Wilkes-Barre.
Meaaey's Pitching and the Visitors'
' Errors Led to th. Final Reslt-A
Speetaole of Foul Playing.
Scranton's defeat by Wllkes-Barre
Wednesday-took the heart out of the
local .rooters and yesterday not more
than 800 persons had the courage to go
out to the park and see the home club
win.
Scranton led from the beginning and
only for costly errors iy Ward and
iBannon. Wllkes-aBarre' would have
scored only the one run- In the third
Inning. Patrlclus Meaney, pitched one
of his famous games and. excepting in
the fifth Inning, when Bannon tailed
In an attempt to retire the side, forced
Shannon's men to pop up easy flies or
hit the ball for easy fielding. Three
hits were made In that inning, out only
in the sixth were as many as two hits
made In any one inning.
Coaklcy Lacked Control.
Coakley was as fractious as a two-
year-old and with, his nine bases on
balls and costly errors behind him
could not hope to keep the game in
hand.
Of Bannon's four errors, three were
made in succession in the eighth and
were missed grounders. But notwith
standing these errors many of his eight
chances accepted successfully were of
me grandstand variety and won ap
plause for the popular little player,
whose misfortune It Is to be placed out
or his regular position. Smith made a
brilliant running catch of a line hit,
while the vigorous stick work of Hus
ton and the modest Meaney did much
toward the run-getting. Bonner and
McMahon put up a sharp fielding game
for Wllkes-Barre.
Charles Smith. WIlkes-iBarre's third
baseman, elicited a storm of hisses and
cat-calls when In the seventh Inning
e irippea :agan at a point midway
between third and the plate. Eagan
had made a two-bagger and was com
ing In on Meaney's double, and was go
ing under a full head of steam when he
fell. e was twelve or fifteen feet
from the plate, but there were no kicks
coming when Hurst allowed the run.
Smith vowed It was an accident, but
Eagan Is Arm In his declaration that
the Wllkes-fBarre player deliberately
seat him to grass.
There Was Much Confusion.
Tn the excitement of the play, two of
the Wilkes-Barre players. Earl and
Coakley. were near the plate and
Wente was after the ball, which had
rolled to near the visitors' bench.
Smith was on the line between the
bases, so in all the confusion it is not
surprising that few can say mlth pur
posely did the trick. Whether he did
r nod the players know, and he will be
Judged accordingly; If he did do it pur
posely, he was guilty of as foul and
rotten a piece of dirty playing as Is pos
sibly without Inciting a mobbing at the
bands of forbearing patrons of the
game. Those who know the old tricks
of base ball will not criticise a player
for taking any advantage within rea
son, but any person who Is positive
that Smith purposely tripped Eagan
has a right to stamp him as a trickster,
whose absence from the Held should be
insisted uon rather than desired.
The 'detailed score and a close scru
tiny of the pitching ends of the game
sufficiently explain the result

won by Scranton, was exciting ana closely
contested except In the first Inning, when
the Scranton team piled up seven runs.
McDonald, the Minooka twirler, handled
the sphere for the ticrantons, and fairly
hoodooed the visitors, striking out sev
enteen batsmen. He was well supported
by Catcher O'Nell. who fielded and batted
like a veteran. The feature of the game

FINE RaWoiTbIIFFALO.
Splendid Performances In Two of the
Tlireo Events.
Buffalo. Aug. 15. Klamath, the tin
couth bay gelding by Moorokus, was
tho star or today's races at. tne urana
Circuit. Ho took three straight heats
In the 2.11 trot In su en-did style.
Beasetta, the magnificent four-year-old
that made such fine racing last week.
was not drawn until 2 o'clock, when
all the betting had to be declared off.
She threw a shoe the other day while
warming uu and hurt her hoof. Ono
aua. the bay filly owned by I. P.
Stauer, of McGregor, Iowa, .was also
drawn and Mr. Hamlin thought best
to take bis mare Nightingale out. This
left but four starters. Dandy Jim was
added.
Aunt Delilah had the pole tn the first
heat but Jcsa Wilkes took the lead
from her and carried the bunch along
at a lively clip. Dandy Jim second,
and Klamath a good third. Coming
into the stretch Klamath was absolute
ly last.
Then Raymond made a drive for the
wire. Klamath spread himself out till
his belly seemed to touch the track, and
he passed Delilah, Dandy Jim and
David B In turn and flashed beside
Lesa Wilkes. Within 100 feet of the
wire he carried Lesa off her feet. She
passed under the wire first, but was
set back to second place for her break,
Klamath had been a strong favorite
In the betting, but he was now quoted
at almost prohibitory odds, and Lesa
Wilkes was played hoaivlly for the
place. Klamath took the second heat
easily by a length.
In the third heat Klamath showed
that he had speed plenty to beat the
Held easily. As the bunch came to the
stretch Raymond, the owner, driver of
the gelding, swung from the pole to
the center of the track, permitting
Aunt Delllaih to take the pole position,
which undoubtedly gave her second
money. Dlckerson, who was driving
Lesa iwllkes, protested to the Judges,
claiming that this move put him clear
on 'the outside and kept him from tak
ing second money. Raymond explained
that he had swung to the center be
cause of a bad spot at the pole, and
the Judges accepted the excuse. , -.
The moment the face was over Stew
art sold Aunt Delilah to Costcllo, of
New York, for 24,000.
Rachel made a notable mile In the
second heat of the 2.27 pacing, crossing
the wire in 10SJ4. Summaries:

THE FRUIT OUTLOOK.
Returns Indicate a Larger Crop Than for
Several Years.
Washington, Aug. 15. The official re
turns for August show that the pros
pective fruit crop of the country, taken
as a whole, is much larger than for sev
eral years. The report follows:
Apples The crop met with no serious
obstacles to development during July.
The influences upon which the proper
maturity of the crop naturally depends
have been so favorable that a very gen
eral Increase In the Index figures has
resulted. There are, however, some
very Important states In which the crop
promised 1s less than half the normal
product. This is the case In Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Michigan
ar.d Wisconsin, the percentages rang
ing from '28 in (Michigan to 49 In Ver
mont. Massachusetts, New York, Penn
sylvania and Iowa show conditions be
tween 50 and 60, or slightly aibove one
haif the normal.
On the other hand, fifteen states
New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri,
Nebraska, Colorado and the Pacific
coast states, excluding states not com
mercially Important, have a condition
of 80 or over, and of these, six. New
Jersey, Kentucky, Indiana, Arkansas,
Missouri and Colorado are above 90,
Kentucky going to 101. Ohio and Illi
nois, with conditions 73 and 72, respec
tively, stand between the high and low.
The crop Is reported generally short
In the northern, but abundant In the
southern portion of these states. The
general average of condition Is 71.2,
against 44 last year.
Peaches The average condition Aug.
1 Is 83.3, against 22.3 In 1894. The pros
pective yield declined heavily In Dela
ware, where about one-third the nor
mal crop Is now Indicated. New Jersey
has also suffered, the percentage fall
ing 12 points, and resting at 81. Condi
tions are high In Connecticut and Geor
ga. respectively 92 and 104. Maryland
hopes for a two-thirds crop: Vlrtrlnia
something under that. A very short
croplslndlcated for Ohio, and for Michi
gan about half the normal product. On
tne Pacific coast conditions approxi
mate the general average for the coun
try.' Much complaint of dropping and
rotting is maue, ine latter especially In
the south.

Tho Electrlo Plant Booming.
The movement to establish an elec
trical plant on this side Is by no means
a new one. T. Fellows .Mason, president
of the board of trade, suggested the
Idea about live years ago, but no ac
tion was taken. The present under
taking seems to have taken hold and Is
being agitated. Already the stock sub
scribed is very large and search for
stockholders is at a standstill. With
the cheapness of fuel and the proximity
of the supply, the running of a plant
would be inexpensive. Near the Mount

as a site, also the Oxford dump, but

being ottainable owing to the success

RAILROAD NOTES.
Baggagemaster Abram's wife Is vis
iting at Lyndbrook. 43. 1.
Engineer Amsl Hortree, of Nichol
son, Is on the sick list with hay fever.
Conductor Bond, of the Nicholson ac
commodation, returned to his run yes
terday. The excursion season thus far has
been one of the most successful In the
history of the roads In this state.
A seashore rate war between the rail
roads make it possible for Wilkes
Barre people to go to and from Coney
Island for $2.
Demands for railway cars have been
heavily increased, as have requests for
steel rails, and In consequence for Bes
semer pig iron.
In transporting coal from the mines
to tidewater there Is much delay, the
Pennsylvania having practically a
blockade on its line.
Train Dispatcher Samuel Kellam. of
the Lackawanna road, and Mrs. Kel
lam have returned from a trip along
the New England coast.
No rust Is likely to accumulate on the
rails of the seashore lines these days, as
the constant running of the wheels
makes It almost impossible.
Gross earnings of seventy-two roads
for the fourth week of July are esti
mated at $9,613,719, against S9.054.129
last year, a net Increase of $4S2,&00, or
6.11 per cent.
Engineer Torjee, of train 97. Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western, re
sides at Factoryvllle, and has as fine a
residence as there Is In the place; he
also has an elegant lawn and garden. .
The report that the railroad mag
nates were about to abolish the office
of traveling freight and passenger
agents on a number of lines has caused
the latter employes no little uneasiness.
It is not thought such measures will be
attempted at present.
A very wise and Just amendment was
made In council last night whereby
railroad conductors' valuation' assess
ment Is based on $75 Instead of $100 as
heretofore. Conductors who have been
assessed $100 on occupation can have
lielr assessments corrected.
The game of ball yesterday between
the teams from the Railroad Young
Men's Christian association and car ac
countants' office was won by the former
by a score of 11 to 10. The batteries
were Kavanagh and Pearsall for the
Railroad Young .Men's Christian asso
ciation and Williams and Dean for the
accountants. A large crowd of rail
road men congregated at the James
Boys' grounds, where the game was
piayea, and rooted long and loud ac
cording to the tend of their sympathies.
The Delaware and iHudson trainmen
will have a two days' picnic at the
grove near the Providence station com
mencing today. There will be all sorts
of picnic amusements, and as a climax
a game of ball will be played between
teams composed respectively of 'Lu
cerne and Lackawanna county em
ployes of the Delaware and Hudson.
The grove is one of the most pleasant
places In the city, and is within easy
access of the railroad and street cars.
Many people from points all along the
line will be in attendance.
WHITE LIES OF SOCIETY.
Worn and Meaningless Phrases Can Bo
So Vitalised as to Have Charm.
Indulgence In social fibs grows apace
into a habit The conscience of the av
erage person acquits these little sub
terfuges of Immorality; but the use of
them renders social Intercourse even
more sincere than It need be. Let a
woman pause to think and she will be
astonished when she takes to noting
how many of these little flblets she re
sorts to, and without which she would
do very well. There is that phrase,
Charmed, I am sure," Could any
thing be more foolish? Why miss the
chance to make a hit by substituting
for this Idiocy an apparently sincere
and grave "It will give me much pleas
ure." The phrase has at least the air
of meaning and something of being
originated for the occasion. Then there
Is "Quite well, I thank you," gabbled
off In unheeded responses to an unheed
ed question. Try saying it as though
It meant "Thank you for caring."
The not-at-home fib Is one that Is
difficult to avoid at all times. It Is
often the gentlest way of denying one's
audience, for the disappointed visitor
Is left the option of believing cir
cumstances, and not your unwilling
ness, prevents an Interview; but many
times a candid excuse sent to a friend
would meet the case much better. Let
the maid say, MMrs. la so sorry,
but she Is too 111 to see any one today,
and hopes you will call again soon,"
or something like that.
"I beg your pardon" Is another phrase
too really pretty to be spoiled by care
less use. Don't Are It off on every occa
sion, and when you are really sorry
about something say so. "I beg your
pardon," said with moving sincerity. Is
absolutely startling. Just because of Its
hackneyed use. She Is a wise girl who
takes to studying phrases and sets her
self to give new life to them In her
usage. She will find her social career
advanced wonderfully without extra
ordinary wit or beauty to help.
VERY PERILOUS FEAT. .
Plucky Mrs. Honors Plants an American
Flag on Uevll's Pesk.
Cheycnne,'Wyo..Aug. 13 Perhaps the
most novel celebration of the Fourth
of July this year was at Sundance,
Crook county, Wyoming, where a
woman climbed the Devil's Tower and
planted the American flag i.886 feet
above the head of an Immense crowd
of applauding people.
The Devil's Tower Is one of the nat
ural wonders of the west. Its top Is
1.6C5 feeit above the level of the Belle
Fourche river, which flaws st its base,
and th tower proper, which is al
most perpendicular, Is 665 feet In
height. The towr is a landmark for
a great extent of country and from
some directions can be seen with a
glass fur a distance or 100 miles. It
was used by the Indians as a signal
tower from which llres gave warning
of the approach of hostile tribes or of
the presence of whites, but until 1893,
when W. B. Rogers, of Sundance, suc
ceeded In climbing to its top, no iwhlte
man had scaled K. The fact had been
generally advertised for about a month
that iMrs. Rogers, iwtfe of the man
Who made the ascent of the tower two
years ago, would attempt to climb to
the top on the Fourth and people from
all parts of northeastern Wyoming,
some of them driving fifty mvilea, were
present to see wtiait the majority pro
nounoed an Impossible feat. :
Mrs. Rogers made the ascent with
alarming ease and rapidity, going from
the point Where climbing ts necessary
to the summit, a distance of 800 feet,
in thirty-seven minutes. Mrs. Rogers
spent fifteen or twenty inmates on the
summit of the tower planting tha flag,
and ithen began her downward jour
ney, which is a more trying ordeal and
more perilous than the. ascension. Bhe
mad tha downward trip in thirty-nine
tnliMitM. Two years ago wfcea Mr.
Rogers made the ascent there were
no signs of life on the top of the tower.
Now there are soma chipmunks and
some prairie dogs.
FIGHTING THE GOUT.
The Mode of Living and the Diet to Pre
vest Its Coaalag.
From the Houaehold News.
As It requires some years of careless
ness ano abuse to possess this disease In
perfection, we must give an equal
amount of time to Its cure. "Where the
tendency has been inheritance, the dis
ease is very stubborn, and sometimes.
Indeed, Incurable, but can In any case be
palliated. Cures can only be effected
by a rigid diet and the general everyday
living must be in harmony. We must
never lose sight of the fact that a mis
erable old age is awaiting those who
dissipate, in the smallest degree, when
tendencies toward the disease are pres
ent. The rules to be followed are quickly
and easily written; would they might
be as promptly followed. If you reside
In the city, get as near Its borders as
possible; the country is best of all. Go
In and out to your dally task on a bi
cycle. If this Is out of the question,
take a walk or ride every day. Exer
cise must be taken and gradually In
creased as the system will allow. Never
ride or walk until fatigue comes on.
Stop when you feel that perhaps an
other hundred yards would be tolerated.
Establish and adhere to regular hours
of retiring and rising, and for meals.
Cold (not iced) water should be the only
beverage.
Whole wheat bread, toasted or bread
sticks, should be the only bread used,
and this In moderation. Mutton twice
a week, chicken twice, sweetbreads
once, tripe once, and the remaining
days fish, and let meat at all times be
used once a day. A lettuce of pure
salad, with a French dressing of pure
olive oil, should be eaten at every din
ner. No sweets, pastry or cake must
ever be taken, a few almonds, say
six, and one Uratlllan nut, may be the
dessert at dinner. Spinach, cabbage
(raw or lightly cooked), squash, onions,
asparagus, celery, Brussels sprouts and
kale are admissible; rice, too, plainly
boiled, may be used as a vegetable ev
ery day, or, taken as food, but not at
the same meal with meat. Buttermilk,
with a slice of toast, may form the
lunch two or three times a week. No
spices or pepper should be used, and
but little salt, and, above all, no vine
gar. Vegetables must be taken in
greater quantities than animal food,
and both in much less quantities than
Is usually Ingested In health. Should
too great a loss of weight occur. In
crease gradually the amount of food.
Stewed dates and tigs, without sugar,
served with whipped cream, are ad
missible. The relation of gout to dyspepsia Is
that of cousins, so be very careful not
to eat that which Is not easily digested.
No medicine can effect a permanent
cure unless this rational dietary is fol
lowed. The clothing must be warn in
harmony also. If flannel Is worn, let it
be light silk Is preferable; further, the
garment worn in the day must not be
worn at night. The night "set" may be
of lighter texture. A tepid bath should
betaken before breakfast each morning.
The abdomen, too, may be well rubbed
with olive oil and glycerine before re
tiring. Sleep at least eight hours, ten art
better. In a well-ventilated room. Re
member, too, that gout has many stages
before It reaches the acute. It Is stead
ily becoming the bane of America. If
you are taking little exercise and par
taking of too much rich food, If you feel
drowsy after family meals and not In
the family pew (though In God's house
there Is often a wicked want of ven
tilation), then you may reasonably sus
pect gout, and govern yourself accordingly.
