FROM COAL MINE TO COLLKCE.
Hev. Ithys A. Lloyd, a former West
Elder, 1s honored by the following
sketch published in the Pittsburg
ChronlcleTelegraph of last Saturday's
Issue:
From a coal mine to a professor's chair
Is the utmost unparalleled leap that was
taken by Kev. ilhys 'it. Lloyd, who J7
years a no was working with pi ok and
shovel In the depths of t Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western mine at Scranton
and who today Is professor of Ureek, the
New Testament and exegesis at the Pa
cific Theological seminary In Oakland,
Cat. It can be conceived 'how a poor 4oy
can become a millionaire in this country
of possibilities, but liow a man can start
In the race for educstlon with a handicap
of twenty-three years and outstrip many
competitors in the short term of seven
teen years, is marvelous to contemplate.
Professor Lloyd was born in Wales about
forty years ko, and was one of a family
of several children. His father was a
coal miner, wretchedly poor, and when
young Khys was but 8 year old he had
to go into the shaft as a helper. At in
intervals he attended niKht school, and
eagerly grasped the crumbs which fell
from the scantily set educational table.
When he was 14, his parents emigrated
to America, und went to Scranton. There
he tolled as he had In Wales, eaprcr for
knowledge, but with no opportunity for
acquiring it. In 1870 there was a trreat
at i Ike, and he Improved the time of Idle
ness by attending school. In three months
ha finished three grades, in which ordi
nary scholars spent six months. Ills
progress astonished his teacherr, but
when work was resumed, he had to ro
back Into the mines. It was not until
he was 2.1 that he left the mines for good.
He had been married three years before,
and when he entered the academy at Mari
etta, O., he had a son a year old. In one
and one-hulf years he had graduated from
the classical course, support trig- himself
and family meantime by acthiK as jani
tor. He Immediately entered the college
t Marietta, and after four years gradu
ated second in a class of eUrhty, having
won every rhetorical nnd oratorical prise.
After a summer npent in preaching In
southeastern Ohio, young Lloyd entered
the Chicago Theological seminary, whera
he spent three years, for the next four
years he preached In a 'prosperous West
Wide Chicago church, but ills sermons
&iew too leurm-d, nnd lie was advised to
rcome a professor. He took the advice
and when lie was offered the position of
the chair of Greek, at Oakland, he ac
cepted. Many on the West Side remember Mr.
Lloyd. He waa assisted in his studies
by tiie Welsh Philosophical society,
which conducted a concert for his ben
ant. Mra. Lloyd Is a daughter of the
late Evan P. Davis, who Is well known
for tala scholarly ability.

Proposition Which Will Be of Mutual
Benefit to Aila Works and I-asl.a-wanna.
Iron Steel Company.
Thomas J. Moore and J. B. Decker,
president and gemeral manager re
spectively of the Scranton Axle works,
held a conference with General Man
ager H. Wehrum, of the Lackawanna,
Iron and Steel company, a few days ago
and the subject talked of was toward
making arrangements whereby the 100,
000 tons, or thereabouts, of steel that
is used monthly by the Axle works,
can be purchased from the Lackawan
na company Instead of going to Bethle
hem. The result of the conference will, no
doubt, be to the mutual advantage of
both companies. The Axle works will
be spared the delays, etc., incident to
ordering and shipping the steel from
Bethlehem, and the Lackawanna com
pany will be so much better o!t every
month. The North mill Is where the
steel would have to be made as it Is
equipped for the manufacture of bil
lets, or It could be done at the rolling
mill.

There was i-oiisideruble. discussion und
tiio feeling of I he delegates seemed to
be, u the whole, that the Kastern

wise by the terms of the new agree
ment. It will be decided today whether
a delegate will be sent to the meeting
of minor leagues which Is to be held ut
Washington on March It! to lake action
on the national u;;reemnt. While it is
possible that a delegate may be sent
to see what slept the combination will
tuke. President Powers sold that the
general sense of the delegates was that
the Kastern leiisue hud no grievance
ugulust the big itiuguutes uud that if
such should urise in tin: future the
Knstern league would be able to cope
with the same. Ni new business was
transacted.
Toduy the delegates will elect a di
rector In the place of John Cliapniun,
of Toronto. It was learned dining the
day that Syracuse had obtained the ser
vices of Charles Ueilly, third bust-ma u

hit for tho young man. Flynn is left
handed, has tine curves, excellent control
anil a drop -ball which Is almost the coun
terpart of "Tom" Itamsey's unchallenged
specialty. When the liitltlmores played In
Itlchmoii'l last year they got but two
hits off Klynn In six iniiinga.
Tho news has leukeil out that John 1!.
Day, ex-presl'lent of the New York Itaso
Hull club, will handle the minor leagues
In tho interest of the national board of
arbitration. Mr. Day's duties will be to
adjust small differences, explain the obli
gations of the new national agreement
and in other ways facilitate the business
of the board. Mr. Day has done much
for the naiionnl game, and this recogni
tion, albeit a little late, will be welcome
news 'lo the base ball world In general,
which has always sympathized with Mr.
Day In his reverses. It was also a very
shrewd move on 'the part of the National
lenKiie, which will benefit greatly In Mils
affuir by reason of his ability and popu
larity. It Is said that when the new rules
atloptetl by the National Base Hall l-'-agae
were given out on Tuesday there was one
section, nnd one which Is going to make
trouble for some of the pitchers, that wo's
overlooked. It is section No. 2 of rule
No. 'XI. It reads as follows: "A balk is
any delivery of the ball to the bat by the
pitcher while his (nivot) foot is not In
contact with the pitcher's plate, as de
fined In rule El." Old section 2 is mude
section 4. Thin new section Is going to
make plenty of trouble for some of the
tiltchers. Another rule which was over
ooked when the changes were read off
to the reporters Is an entire change In the
latter part of rule LD. The concluding
words, "and the players of the competing
teams shall be required -to occupy their
respective benches while not engaged In
active play," are stricken out. In Ibeir.
place are substituted these -more compre
hensive words: "And all players of tho
side at tho bat must be seated on their
bench, except such as are legally assigned
to coach base runners nnd also the bats
man when called to the bat by the um
pire, nnd under no circumstances shall
the umpire ipermlt any pers.m except the
iliib in.-fUl.-iil. maniiMers and players In
uniform to occupy seats on Ibe benches."
Before a game begin 1 he. umpire will sen
thut the home diib has ut least one dozen
new balls on the ground ready for use,
and until -that number am placed at Ids
disposal the game cannot begin. Whether
the umpires will enforce Hie new rules
against the balking anil not sitting on the
bench while the side Is at hat i t a uuei'tlon
that must be answered by observation
after the opportunity occurs.
