Heir guarding the initial bag.
"Little Jack" Horner wus In the box
for Herdlitnu but It Was an off duy with
I11111 ami the Buffalo batsmen touched
lilm up nt a lively rate lii the first and
third ami pounded liini unmercifully In
the seventh lnninrrs. Wadsworth did
good work for Huffalo for the first six
Innings but was taken ill and went
completely to pieces in the eighth. He
1.. d l:id''led out singles to Mealtey nntl
Kagnn and a three-bagger to Hutcliin
ron when he was pulled out and Gannon
Fulistituted In the eighth.
H was In the eighth that Scranton
lost its golden opportunity for tleing
the score. The count stood Huffalo 10,
Scranton 7. When Gannon took charge
Hutchinson was on third base and no
on' '.nit Gannon gave Flnek his base
on balls and Maguire singling to right
Held scored Hutchinson. Then Horner
got a base on balls. The bases were
filled and only two runs needed for a
. tie. but Rafferty sent a pop fly to Wise
und Herr struck out.
AND HORNER BLt'NDERED.
Ward took his place at bat and the
Huffalo rooters trembled as "Piggy"
squared away for n home run hit. But
It never came, for Horner wandered
too far from first base and Catcher
Smith had the ball down to field in a
flush and the Utile pitcher was out,
retiring the side without giving Ward
the desired chance.
Horner was st'll very rocky In the
eighth Inning, r.nd r.uffa',3 put on three
more runt. The Scranton batsmen
rould dn nothing with Gannon In the
ninth. Score:

SCRANTON SIGNS HARPER.
Eastern League's Crack '95 Twirler Who
Was Sold by Rochester to Brookly n.
Other Deals Are On.
ritcher Harper, of the Hrooklyns,
and who was with Rochester last year,
has been purchus"! by Scran. on and
ordered to report at once to Manager
McDcrmott nt Huffalo. He was rec
ognized aB the star twirler of the East
ern league last year, and no surprisa
was occasioned when It was known
that Rrooklyn wos angling for him be
fore the seupon ended.
Harper was seated to bp one of the
Bridegrooms' regular twlrlets th's Rea
son. He pitched one winning game.
Inst one and wns put In to finish a
game that was already lost. Those who
know his great ability to pitch have
been at a loss to understand why he
has not taken his regular turn In the
box.
The torms on which Harper's release
was purchased could net be leirred iast
night. When the figure Is mr.de known
it will probably startle Eastern league
circles. Harper hit .257 last year, a
good average for a pltchsr.
All or yestrdav T. R. Ilrooks. of the
Scranton association, was engaged In
telegraphic negoilntlons with two Na
tional leatrue clubs for an outfielder
with each club. One of these lilt over
400 last year In a minor league as fast
as the Eastern: the other was In the
Eastern last year. There is hardly a
choice between them and If terms are
agreed upon, one of the two will prob
ably be purchased today.
NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Cincinnati gets first place by a Blight
margin. Only three games took place
yesterday, but these were sufficient to
change the positions of Cleveland,
which loses first position; Boston and
Ilultlmore, which drop to third and
fifth, and Cincinnati and Pittsburg,
which ndvanees to second and fourth.
New York shut out Anson's Colts, but
the Plilllle were easy losers at Cin

The appearance of the two racers was

One of fc'eranlun's most promising
riders Is George Dunn, of Green Ridge.
He Is training faithfully at the Driv

who hnve been watching his work all
seem to thlnlt him a "comer."
Six of the Green Ridge wheelmen
rode to Honesdale Saturday afternoon,
leaving that town Sunday morning for

rode to Lake Ariel Sunday morning and

A committee to solicit members and
subscriptions to the Anthracite Valley
Cinder-path association will soon be
appointed and the names of said com
mittee published In this column. It Is
hoped that all wheelmen will cheerfully
respond when called upon to Join the
association. The dues are In the form
of an assersment which accordlns to
the by-laws cannot be more than one
dollar per year. The assessment for
the first year will be one dollar (the
limit). If all the wheelmen who should
be Interested In this great Improvement
"come up," the fund will quickly swell
to the amount needed, viz about $4,000
(not more). This amount can easily
be raised with the aid of the personal
subscriptions of hotel keepers and pub
lic sii'Hted men, many of whom have
already subscribed, together with the
one dollar membership fee from wheel
men throughout the valley. Don't
throw tho committee "down" when they
call on you. Pay up and look pleas
ant. A large number of the Scranton Bi
cycle club participated In a club run to
Mill City by the way of Plttston, re

The wheelmen of the North End are
talking "Llcycle Club," and why not?
The central city, Green Ridge, South
Side and West Side all have such, an or
ganization, and the North End wheel
men are numerous enough to sustain a
good lively up-to-date bicycle club.
The following wheelmen are training
for track work at the Driving Park: R.
A. Gregory, Hen Keller, Ed Coons, R.
V. White, J. O. Cox and Ocorgo Dunn.
The boyo are rapidly getting Into good
condition, the result of which will be

WEST SIDE CLUB.
The new bicycle club which Is being
formed on the West Side starts out
under very auspicious circumstances
ar.d will no doubt prove to be an earnest
and aggressive organization. The club
was virtually organized last week, but
there being more work entailed than
could be accomplished in the one meet
ing an adjourned session will be held to
morrow evening, when constitution and
by-laws, name, colors, device, etc. will
be adopted and selections for a club
house suggested.
There are at present about 60 mem
bers who will come In on the charter.
Others are expected from time to time
during the next two or three weeks, so
that the club can fully count on 75
active members. The initiation fee In
the new club will be $10 and the dues
$12 per year payable monthly. Those
who come In as charter members, how
ever, will have a slight disadvantage
over those who hang back, for to all
coming In at present the Initiation fee
will be much lower.
It Is tho Intention of the new c!ub to
open tip a club house and furnish the
aame nicely, if not luxuriously. Sev
eral sites for a house have been sug
gested butthose thut can be secured are
too high priced and the club cannot
find any houses to suit within a decent
figure. Among the houses suggested
are the Clark, the Freeman and the old
Washburn houses on South Main ave
nue, the Phillips house on Jackson
street,- a4 the Stetter bouse on South
Hyde Park avenue. Either of these
would make a desirable house but the
club members don't feel like paying
over t'M tier month rent as other ex
penses) will amount to considerable.
The committee on constitution and
by-laws has been working industriously
and will present a report complete in
every particular at the meeting tomor
row night The report will contain a
complete set of by-laws and other gov
erning rules besides several recommen
dations of the utmost importance. The
committee on namcj, colors and device
will also present a complete report
carrying with it recommendations that
will necessitate action by the entire
club.
All wheelmen In the city who are un
attached and who wish to Join the club
are invited to attend the meeting to
morrow evening and affiliate them
selves. By so doing they can come in
as charter members and will have the
privilege of the low lnlatlon fee. There
will be three branches of membership,
vis: active, non resident and honorary.
Under the latter head those who are
complimented by the honor will be un
der no expense to the club and will have
the full privilege of the club house. It
la hoped that the prominent men of the
West Side will ask for admission to the
club In this manner. If they do not care
to come In as active members.
The meeting toinorow evening will be
held at the Colonial club In Mears' hall
butluing at 7.30 o'clock. A large at
tendance Is desired and all wheelmen
will be made welcome.

DRAMATIC GOSSIP.
An important agreement Just consum
mated by Messrs. DeKoven und Smith is
an association with Charles K. Evans and
W. D. Mann, possessing for Its purpose
the presentation at the Herald Square
thcutcr. New York, of a series of new
works on the lines of magnificence pur
sued so successfully by Gilbert and Sulli
van with D'oyly Carte Opera company
at the Savoy theater, in London. The lirst
of the new operas to be presnted under the
agreement will be "The Mandarin," a work
upon which De Koven und Smith ure now
engaged. As its title suggests, "The Mun
durin" will be Orlentul in color. It will be
put forth ut this theater next fall. In the
full of 1897 a fresh work will be produced
und will be followed ensuing seasons by
other new products. The organization
will be known us the De Koven-Smith
Opera company, und will embrace the best
operatic urtists. It will be under the sole
direction of .Messrs. Kvuns und Munu.
Costumes, scenery und effects to grace
"The Mandarin" ure ulready under way
und the new score und libretto, even at
this early date, nre ull but completed. The
uitimete aim of the combination Is the es-
i tubllshment of a nutlve operatic institu-
Hon for the liberal presentHllon of musical
I effort of superior merit to uchieve, in a
word, for America, what Gilbert and Sulll

with Its 20uth performance in the Herald

achievement in au uptown cafe after the

gently, und a prototype of Ned Harrigun's
"Old Lavender" hung appeallngly over
the group. The stranger's voice Quiver
ed with sincerity, "it's not a beggar that's

apologetically. "I'm afther natfier bite,

ax ye for a little 'baccy to fill me pipe just
that and not a hap'orth more." The plead
ing eyes, the empty ploe. 111 clad flgfire,
ronvlnelng'volee and dignified plea built
up an appeal that was irresistible. A tide
of small coin fairly rained into the old
man's palm before he seemed to realize
It. He acknowledged the contribution
feelingly, dropped the silver and clay pipe
Into a pocket, und limped to a cigar lightor.
His disengaged hand sought another
pocket and drew out a cigar. The gro-ip
gasped. The stranger lit it leisurely,
blew a few whiffs toward tho party,
dropped a soft hand on the door knob,
and said, as he bowed his exit: 'The
world's a pruty swift procession, gentle
men, an' the devil gets the hindmost. I'm

How Thonas W, Bowca Reached the
Vailed States Senate Chamber.
Another Aaerdote Which Explaias
Why He Abandoned tho Judiciary.
Eageae Field's Story.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Thomas M. Bowen enjoys the unique
distinction of being the only man ever
elected to the United Staites senate by
hia own vote. Bowen was a member
of the legislature charged with elect
ing a successor to Nathaniel P. Hill.
The real candidates were Nathaniel P.
Hlil. Governor Fredetlck W. Pitkin and
George M. Chilcott, the latter then
serving, by appointment, a portion of
the unexpired term of Henry M. Teller,
resigned. Bowen's candidacy was not
considered seriously at first, the others
feeling that Tom had "chipped Into the
game" as he would into a Jackpot ho
couldn't open JuBt for the percentage.
Tabor had (truck th? Little Pittsburg
mine, which burdened him with mil
lions, and the Matchless mine, of wh eh
he was then sole owner, was brli glr g
him in "pin rror.ey" at the rate of $2 000
a day. At the time of the senatorial
election referred to Tabor was per
forming the arduous dt tlcs of leutrn
ant governor. Thosu who Imagine tl at
the duties of lieutenant governor are
not arduous have never seen Tabor
perform them. Every political leech
and blood-sucker In the state had fast
ened themselves to tho Tabor ambPInn,
and "the old man's'' candidacy com
plicated the senatorial situation.
Bowen played the part of "He's a jolly
good fellow," getting votes purely as
a compliment until on the ninety-second
ballot ho received one majority,
and that one vote was cast by Thomas
M. Bowen himself.
The legislature hnd yet to choose a
senator to till the thirty days'.unex
plred term of Senator Teller. It was
a great chance for the political high
waymen to Bquare accounts with the
Leadvllle bonanza king, and H. A. W.
Tnbor was made the victim of the great
honor.
OFF THE BENCH.
Bowen was a product of Arkansas
carpet-bagglsm. By mixing law and
politics In the proper proportions he
secured a judgeship on the district
bench shortly after removing to Col
orado. He figured conspicuously In
the war between the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad and the Denver
and Rio Grande for possession of the
Grand Canon of the Arkansas. Bowen's
decisions were all in favor of Colo
rado's "baby road," and he is- ued In
junctions that would have prevented
the earth from revolving on Its axis
were it subject to legal restraint. Many
have supposed that Bowen resigned his
Judgeship on account of entanglements
In this-litigation, but there Is anotner
story to show that he may have left
the bench for an entirely different rea
son.";
Bowen presided at a murder trial In
Fairplay, Park county, wherein public
sentiment figured as largely as the
facts. The people were willing that
the defendant should have a fair and
impartial trial by a Jury of his peers,
provided that at the end of the trial
lie should be properly and legally
hanged. Something In Bowen's Instruc
tions to the Jury prevented a verdict
of murder In the first degree. That
night the Fairplay people took the de
fendant out . of. the county jail and
hanged htm to an upright In the court
house yard. They selected a piece of
the rope, made It Into a noose and
placed It on the desk of the judge. The
following morning Bowen passed
through the courthouse yard, gated at
the swaying body of the late prisoner
ut the bnr. took his seat on the bench,
glanced furtively at the noose on his
desk, heard a minor motion in a civil
suit and adjourned court. A half-hour
later he was speeding across the un
dulating surface of the South Park be
hind a swift pair of houses, headed for
the nearest railway station. He re
signed from the bench before the next
term of court In Park county.
STORIES ABOUT BOWEN.
In 1886 the Cclorado state Republican
convention was held In a big rink on
sixteenth street In Denver. During the
proceedings It was discovered that the
building was afire and an alarm was
sent in. Two newspapermen were
rushing up Sixteenth street when they
encountered General Sam Browne, an
old Jacksonlan Democrat with all the
characteristics, even to an Inordinate
appetite for tobacco.
"Where away, boys?" called the gen
eral. "To the fire."
"It.'s no use to waste your time and
breath going un there; the fire's out;
Just a little blaze; didn't amount to
anything."
"What was the cauBe of It, general?"
inquired one of the reporters.

''Ttrni Bowen spit In the sawdust."
Tabor Is not altogether as coarse and
Illiterate as he has been pk-tuied. He
ia by no means a scholar, nor even aa
educated man. but he has much practi- -cal
knowledge and gets along fairly well
when he confines himself to "plain Eng
lish" and refrains from essaying the
classics. He says "Trojer" when ho
means Trojan, and Venus when he r
f: rs to Venice. I have heard him under-,
take tho word "connoisseur," and tho
best he could do with it was "conooxer.'
His lack of Imagination lo th fre
quent cause of hia resorted ' "bad
breaks." He once chtded a Denver re-'
porter, who had written an account of s
convention held in the Tabor Opera
House, for using tho expression "tho
applause which followed made the raf
ters ring."
. "Don't you know there ain't any raf
ters in that celling?" Tabor asked
angrily; "that's all stucco and fresco
work and cost me $20,000."
ATE 'EM IN THE SOUP.
The late Eugene Field once narrated
a clever Tabor annecdote. According to
Mr. Field, Tabor was dining wtthj
Roscoe Conkling. When the fruit and
nuts were brought on Tabor endeavored
to crack a large pecan between his back
teeth.
"Why, Horace!" exclaimed the
amazed New York senator, "where are
your crackers?"
"I ate them In my soup an hour ago,"
was Tabor's reply.
Bowen and Tabor both had the repu
tation of being great poker players.
Bowen was rarely In his seat during hut
term as senator, and his absence always
excited suspicion. Tabor industriously
put In his thirty days in the senate col
lecting autographs of his fellow sena
tors.
ADAPTABILITY OF ANIMALS.
How They Vary Their Food to Suit
Changed Conditions.
From Median's Monthly.
An impression prevails that Insects
and other creatures are so co-related
with their food that they can scarcely
exist unless the special food seemli gly
essential to them Is ready to hand.
This is believed true not only of food,
but of their habits In general. The
yucca and the yucca moth are so close
ly connected that it does seem as if each
Is absolutely dependent on the other
and one might well ask what would
the chimney swallow do without chim
neys In which to build Its nest or
cherry or peach tree gum with which to
build them.
But Just as the vegetarian wo dd have
to abandon his principles where there
was nothing In the icy region but musk
oxen and walrus to feed on so ani
mal nature generally has the Instlrct
of preservation to take to that which
first comes to hand when favorite re
sources fall. Tho chimney swallow
built Its nest somewhere before the
white man constructed chimneys. The
potato beetle had its home on the plains
long before It ever knew a potato, and
the writer has seen the common elm
leaf beetle feeding voraciously in ths .
mountains of North Carolina on a '
species of skull-cap Scutellaria
touching apparently no other plant, in
localities where elms were absent
