BASE BALL ENTERTAINMENT.
A I'ine Programme Arrnucetl for the

The arrangements for the base ball
entertainment to be given next Friday

preciation of the work of the team and
the efforts of persons connected with

graced In base ball circles. Do your

a ticket anyhow.
The programme is as follows: Qarrlck
club, one act from "Lend Me Five Shil
lings;" Carbondale Mandolin and Guitar

AGAIN THE LINE FENCE.
The Ciutse of Mar Between Ileury
Friiwick and Thoinns Horner.
A lively case was settled Saturday at
Alderman Bunnell's. The original case
was over a fence which was broken by
the defendant, but this grew into sev
eral others. A fence separates the
properties of Henry Tenwlck and
Thomas Horner, of Fell township. The
tu.n mon lived fin the friendliest terms
until last week, when one of Horner's
cows broke down the fence and entered
Tenwlck's field. When Tenwlck saw
the bovine devouring what had cost
him much hard labor, he became angry
and proceeded to secure the animal for
damages. In the race after the cow
he trespassed on Horner's land. A few
days later, when the parties met, they
decided to settle the matter with their
fists.
Both men were badly bruised, but
were not satisfied. Tenwlck then went
to Alderman Glynn's and had Horner
arrested. Before being discharged Hor
ner had to ray for the damages done by
his cow. The case fur trespass came
off nt Alderman Bunne'l's. It occupied
considerable time, but the two men de
cided to settle the matter without the
aid of the law and the case was dis
charged. GRADUATES AT ST. ROSE.

Fire company responded and soon lo
cated the lire, which was a small dwell
ing In the rear of Thomas Marsh's
house on Second street. Connection
was made to a Third street plug and a
stream was soon turned upon the burn
ing house. The (lames had attained so
firm a hold on the building before the
alarm was sounded that despite the
efforts of the fire company the building
was totally destroyed. The cause of
the fire Is unknown, as at the time the
fire caught no one was living In the
house, a family having vacated It
Thursday. The building was owned
by Mr. Marsh and was partially In
sured. The Citizen's band gave a very pleas

THE METRIC SYSTEM.
It May Not Be the Best, but It li
Certainly Better Than No Sys
ten at AIL
From the Philadelphia Press.
The Popular Science Monthly for
June contains a very elaborate argu
ment against the metric system by Her
bert Spencer. He bases his objection to
it mainly on two points; first, that the
French meter, the basis of the system,
does not fulfill the requirements of
scientific and ideal perfection; secondly,
that division by tenths Is not the most
natural, convenient and suitable. Di
vision by halves, quarters, eighths, etc.,
answer ordinary purposes much better
than by tenths, while there Is a frequent
need of division by thirds, sevenths, etc.,
which the decimal system can only ap
proximate. There Is force In this argument. It
has been used from the beginning
against the metric system, yet it has not
prevented its adoption by nearly every
country In continental Europe. This
argument will be used In congress
against the pending Stone bill for the
adoption of the metric system of weights
and measures In the United States. Di
visions by halves and quarters are con
venient, but they are not necessarily In
compatible with the metric system. The
United States adopted the decimal prin
ciple of the metric system In Its cur
rency notation; and its eagles, dollars,
dimes and cents, whne convenient for
purposes of calculation, do not Inter
fere In the least with the coinage and
current use of half dimes, quarters and
half dollars, quarter, half and double
eagles. We have the convenience of the
decimal notation and the convenience
of dividing or multiplying by two when
It suits us better. This may be Illogical
and inconsistent, but it is very useful
and nobody wants to change it.
OUR CONFUSED SYSTEM.
Our system of weights and measures
is In confusion, and a reform Is demand
ed. We have a pound avoirdupois and a
lighter pound Troy. On the other hand,
the ounce avoirdupois la lighter than the
ounce Troy. We have long and short
tons, and some tons that are between
the two. It is a matter to be deter
mined whether a hundred weight In a
special case means 100 pounds or 112.
The milk dealers buy milk of the farm
ers by beer measure of 2S2 cubic Inches
to the gallun and sell it to the city con
sumer by wine measure of 231 cubic
Inches to the gallon when full. Every
state has Its own bushel measure or
several of them, and none of them agree
with the English bushel. At nearly
every session of the Pennsylvania leg
islature a law is passed regulating the
size of the bushel as to some commodity.
The committee on coinage, weights and
measures In the houe of representa
tives In reporting the Stone bill has
this to say about the bushel: "The bush
el of oats varies from 26 pounds In
Maryland to 36 pounds In Oregon and
Washington. The bushel of barley
weighs 32 pounds In Louisiana and CO
In California. The laws of New York
and Oregon make 42 pounds of buck
wheat a bushel, while those of Minne
sota and Nebraska call for 52 pounds
and Kentucky 56 pounds. The bushel
of rye weighs 32 .pounds In Louisville,
but grows to 56 pounds In Ohio, and
most of the states. Potatoes weigh 50
pounds to the bushel In Washington, 66
in Pennsylvania and 60 In Ohio and
many of the other states. In Maine 44
pounds make a bushel of apples, while
67 are required In Wisconsin. A bushel
of salt weighs but 50 pounds In Vir
ginia and several of the states, but
reaches 70 in Massachusetts, and brings
diwn the scales at SO In Colorado. Ver
mont, however, seems to' have reached
the climax of absurdity when she pro
vides by comparatively' recent legisla
tion still In force that In measuring
certain specified comodities "one bushel
and three-quarters of a peck shall be
deemed a bushel.' "
NO SYSTEM AT ALL.
This Is not a system; it Is confusion
worse confounded. It calls for a rem
edy. The constitution makes it the
dirty of congress to establish a uniform
system of weUrhts and measures. Pos
sibly the metrtlc system of France could
be Improved upon, but It has become the
system of Europe, except in Russia, Den
mark and Great Britain. It Is In use
In part of Asia, In a considerable por
tion of Africa, In South America, Con
tral America and Mexico, and its use is
being steadily extended. For scientific
work it Is m use all over the world. Its
general adoption would bring order out
of the chaos which now prevails and
make our weights and measures corres
pond with those In use In the greater
po) tlon of the civilized world. It would
no1, compel a disuse of ordinary division
by halving and rehalvlng, or even ne-
1 cesBartly dispense with the accustomed
terms of measurements. The Stone bill
contemplates that the metric system
shall be the basis of our weights and
measures, but that In Its application the
fixed customs and convenience of the
people shall be taken Into account.
It Is a hard matter to bring about a
change of this character In a democrat
ic government because tt Is bound to
be unpopular until it Is understood, and
It can never be generally understood un
til It has been put Into use. Probably
this this country will not anticipate
England In adopting the metric system.
Meanwhile, let us try and remember
when traveling In Vermont that "one
bushel and three-quarters of a peck is
deemed a bushel.
