rifttv Conner had singled Lovett
i auttht him natiping off the bag. Le
y. .tte was hit by a pitched ball, but

In the fourth a hit and sarrlfice did
the Wllkes-Barreans no good, thanks
to the phenomenal stop und assist by
Moss. In the last half the Scranton

l.nvett's vigilance In the fifth spoiled
another of the Alligator's chances to

In the sixth only three of the enemy

Trouble came In the seventh when
the bases were filled on a base on balls,

I.yttle's bouncer to Mngulre forced a
runner at the plate. Bonner made a

two runs came In, making the score

than the preceding inning. Betts sin

DIAMOND DUST.
The profanity of the Wllkes-Barro
bleacheritess must be something worse
than revolting when an umpire will call
"time" und walk over to the fence to re
mind the loud-mouthed and foul horde
that there are ladles In the grand stund.
Yet that is what Umpire Curry had to do
yesterday. The vile language used would
In Scranton be sufficient cause for the re
moval of the offenders to the police sta
tion. But it's different in Wllkes-Barre.
The management is not entitled to any
praise for permitting talk that would pol
lute a sewer and a very foul sewer, at
that.
The twist in the schedule was straight
ened out yesterduy and the result Is that
one game will be played this afternoon In
Wllkes-Barre. On Monday, Labor Day,
two games will be played in this city, one
in the morning and the other in the after
noon. Johnson and Gunson will be today's bat
tery. Umpire Curry satisfied the Wllkes-Barre
audlonce now let the world move on.
Grlllln and .Meaney had nothing to do.
There was a counter attraction in

DIAMOND STUDDED SWEATERS
An Innovation in Bicycle Costumes
Which Is Not tiuiet Vet the Rage.
Diimond studded bicycle clothes avs
the last things that a rational person
would think of, says a writer in the
Sunday Journal. But there are peo
ple, who. If they kept cows, would sew
diamonds on them, provided they had
diamonds in plenty and the sows
w iuld stund it.
A woman will find more places to put
il'amonds. and more ways to get then,
than u man will, ten to one, and if
anything marks a tendency toward d
cadence In the magnificent sport of bi
cycling, it is the growing Inclination of
women, who started out right, to be
deck and bespangle their "bike" cos
tumes and themselves with diamonds
of all waters.
The new habit of tacking gems on to
the bicycle costume originated, observ
ant wheelmen say, with a small but
very active actress In this city, who
j started the boulevard and other bl-
! W'0 rat,ls "P twn carl' t"1" season
with the most marvelous of bicycle
j outfits. She dazzled people's eyes with
u the color of the rainbow, and her
j perforated hosiery left but little to the

afternoons the coruscations from her
were like the summer sunlight uion
the dancing waves.
At last the monotony of wearing so
mmh piled up jewelry on her bicycle
tours seemed to weary even her, and
j she declined, ns ba.e ball players say,
to "hi-.r.ch lieifc lilts." '' "
She dropped tl.e. costumes of an.rz
Ir.g blues, reds, pi'iks and purples,
and one "fral.Joi.i-" ulay appeared upjn
the n.u!vard In ihe plainest but rich
est of black cyel'i-K costumes. Sho
looked as trim, us jaunty and spuey
as It were t;f..slble for a woman t.t
look, on h"r !:eal was the small sc
bit of a hat. but it had no ornameht
hut a single black feather. She had
black bloomers and black silk stock
ings with a very perceptible rib, and
the rest of her shapely figure was en
cased in n trim-fitting black silk jer
sey. It was all plain enticingly plain
but the Jewelry fad hud not been for
gotten. She had Himply carried it to a
higher plane of perfection. In the mid
dle of the breast of the blank silk
Jersey glowed ami sparkled a gem
which would make a pawnbroker shed
tears of envy. It was a diamond well
nigh as big as a door knob, and all
around It, In a triple row, were ranged
emeralds and perls and rubles. The
whole -design was completed by wit
long, glittering points of smaller dia
monds, making a star Buch as never
shone In the forehead of any dawn.
It was her only adornment, save the
unquestionable beauty which nature
had given her, nnd with it ahe made
the hit of her life. After displaying
the costume two4 or three times -upon
the Central Park bicycle, paths, the
young lady took the costume with her
upon a western journey and sent the
cold shivers to running: over the sus
ceptible frames of the Western John
nies. Pigeon Shoot.

MUSICAL NOTES.
The beginning of the musical season
in New York will bring forth the usual
number of great artists from the other
aide. These wilt be especially numer
ous this year. Including Carreno, Carl
Halls, the German violinist; Gregoro
wltsch, the Kusslan violinist; David
Blspham, Adele Aua der Ohe. Ffrang-con-Davles.
Selveking and others of
equal prominenence, who are probably
awaiting the result of the coming elec
tion before deciding. But the coming
of the great pianist, Rosenthal, will,
doubtless. Drove the real sensation of
the year and his advent Is likely to
overshadow even the artists mentioned
above. Moris Rosenthal is still a young
man, having been born about thirty
rive years ago at Lemberg in Germany.
MORIZ ROSENTIIAU
Like Mozart, he also was a youthful
prodigy, for at the age of 4 he began to
show unmistakable signs of musical
ability. His first public appearance
was at the age of 10, when he played
Chopin's Rondo In C for two piano
fortes with MlkuH, who was his mas
ter. Later he moved to Vienna, where
he studied under Rarael Joseffy. At
the age of 14 he gave a successful con
cert In the latter city, and subsequent
ly removed to Belgrade and Bucharest,
where he was court pianist of Rou
manla. Llsst. hearing of his ability.
Invited him to pay a visit to Weimar,
where he remained two years. From
there he went to Paris and St. Peters
burg, where his playing created a sen
sation. In order to complete his gen
eral studies, he settled down once more
In Vienna, where he took several de
grees at the state gymnasium. Rosen
thal will make his first appearance at
a special concert given at Carnegie
Music Hull on November 10.

The distinction of being to America
today what I'eg Wofflngton was to the
London stage of a few generations ago,
belongs, perhaps, more than to any oth
er native player, to Lillian Russell.
Peg Wofflngton stunned her public
with her sudden flash in their midst.
From obscurity to Idolatry was for
Peg Wofflngton a step. So It was with
the fair Lillian. No native artist has
won the homage paid to the American
diva. Hsr beauty, her gowns, her
manners, habits, faults and virtues
havs been newspaper subjects for a
dozen years. This season her manag
ers, Canary & Lederer, are to present
the songrstress In new territory. This

A matter of special Jnterest to the
music-loving public is the announce
ment of the coming of Miss Katherine
Tlniberman, a contralto of wide cul
ture and experience to fill the position
of teacher of singing In Prof. J. A. Pen
nington's school of music. Mips Tim
berman Is a pupil of Mine. Marches!,
Paris, and Mr. George Henscel, Lon
don, and has only Just returned from
a concert tour abroad. After concert
ing In England, including London
and the provinces, her manager ex
tended her tour to the Transvaal, of
which she has many Interesting rem In -lscenes,
not the least of which Is that
of being kept prisoner of war at Jo
hannesburg until Dr. Jamison's defeat.
Miss Tlmoerinan will enter upuii her
teaching duties next week and will be
heard in a song recital in the near fu
ture. ;; :i ii
The many friends of Miss Van Der
voort, contralto, will no doubt be
pleased to hear her magnificent voice
again at Elm Park church. Miss Van
Dervoort has returned from her sum
mer vacation greatly refreshed by the
season of rest and prepared to do even
better work In the future. In the in
terpretation of sacred songs Miss Van
Dervoort lias few peers, and her efforts
are always appreciated by people of
musical taste.

UIU EL Fom;r.TFi I.NESS.
He Had Forgotten to Buy Her Goods
One Needed and There VVrn Trouble.
Cincinnati Commercial-Gaxette.
There had been quarreling for some
time out under a scrub oak In front of
her old Kentucky home. He had been
to town the day before, and, contrary
to Immemorial usage, had failed had
forgotten to bring her a present In the
shape of a' long, black plug of sweet
tobacco.
She said It was not the loss of the
"terbacker" (though that was bad
enough "when a person has alters bin
used to It"), but It was the principle of
the thing. His forgetfulness indicated
that, being out of his sight, his mind
was also far from her linage. True
love would not commit the crime of such
neglect ' She finally began to weep
"soft and low," and to blow her nose on
her tow linen apron.
He had to get independent to bring
her around, and was buckling on his
spurs and adjusting his pistol belt to
leave, when she threw both arms about
his neck like '.'grape-vine round the
stump."
Their lips were Instantly amalgamat
ed. "My heart," he said. "Is a big round
hole in a rock, an' love for you is the
spring water that fills It."
Her answer was a long, long kiss.
"I do so love ter kiss you." she said.
"Do yer. sugar lasses?"
"Yep. Ter breath alters smells so
good so like good ole store terbacker."
LARGEST FAMILY OJf RECORD
Scotchman and Wile Who Had Sixty
two Children.
In the Harleian manuscript, number
seventy-eight and S0. in the library of
the British Museum, mention Is made of
the most extraordinary family that has
ever been known In the world's history.
The pavties were a Scotch weaver and
his wife (not wives), who were the
father and mother of sixty-two chil
dren. The majority of the offsprings of this
prolific pair were boys (exactly how
many of each sex is not know n), for the
record mentions the fact that forty-two
of the male children lived to reach man
hood's estate, and only four of the
daughters lived to be grown-up women.
Thirty-nine of the sons were still living
In the year 1630. the majority of them
then residing in and about Newcostle-on-Tyne.
It Is recorded in one of the old his
tories of Newcastle that "a certyne
gentleman of large estaytes" rode
"thlrty-and-three miles beyond the
Tyne to prove this wonderful story."
It Is further related that Sir J. Bowers
adopted ten of the sons, and three other
"landed gentlemen" took three each.
The remaining members of the extra
ordinary family were brought up'by the
parents.
"Landed gentlemen" are not now so
fond of collecting boys; all their time Is
required for collecting rents.
TlIE GRANTS AT FISTICUFFS,
Fred Grant, I'nlikn Young Scwnll,
Supported Hi Father, and Both
Could Fight Gamely.
The Grants, father and son, knew
something about fisticuffs at the Point.
It is a tradition that General Grant, an
undersized cadet, being forced Into a
fight, was licked. He got In training
and tried conclusions again with no bet
ter success. A third time he failed to
win. but at the fourth fight, several
months after the first one, the young
fellow who In later life was to conquer
the confederacy by persistent pummel
Ing, knocked out his antagonist, says
the New York Press.
When Fred Grant whs at the Point,
at the opening of the 70s, he had period
ical punches with Quincy O'Malley Gill
more, the red-haired son of General Gill
more, of the engineer corps. Glllmore
Is a captain In the Eighth cavalry now,
and Grant is commissioner of police in
New York city. The son of the great
Grant was Joshed somewhat by the
cadets. On Grant's ftret Fourth of July
at the Point he was asked, "Mr. Grant,
who was the greatest American?"
"George Washington," said Grant,
promptly.
"He was the greatest American gen
eral too, wasn't he?" asked the cadet,
with a grin.
"He may have been a greater man,"
said the son of the president, "but I
don't think he was a greater general
than my father."
"What!" yelled the first class man.
"Why, there's no more comparison be
tween your father and General George
Washington than there Is between a
plucked hen and the American eagle."
Then Fred Grant showed the stuff
that was In' him. They fought right
there In the company street till the
guard arrested both.
THOSE CIGARS.
Th-y Were Sure to Turn the Burglar
Down W hen Lighted.
From the Chicago Tribune.
It was the dead of night. Darkness
so thick that the street lamps made but
a glimmer in It and enveloped all the
city. Suddenly Mrs. Toman jerry, the
wife of the genial and widely-known
South Side saloonkeeper, woke with a
start from a sound sleep. Silently she
pushed the bedclothes away from her
face and rose to a sitting posture. She
listened Intently. It was but too true,
there was a burglar in the house. She
could hear his footsteps as he Bteulthily
crossed the floor of the bar room belowi
She placed one hand over Mr. Toman
jerry's face so that he could not cry
out nnd Jabbed him in the ribs with her
elbow. Mr. Toman jerry awoke hur
riedly. "John," she said, softly, "there's a
burglar In the place."
"Nit," said Mr. TomanJerry. briefly.
"It's pipe dreams you're bavin'.
"I heard him cross the floor."
"You heard nothin. Leave me sleep."
Mrs. TomanJerry listened again.
"He's there, John," she said. In a
whisper, "I heard him scratch a match.
He's lighting one of your cigars. I
heard him set the box down."
Mr. TomanJerry sat up and listened
with her.
"Dat's right, he said, after a moment.
"Dere's some one dere. Did your hear
him light a cigar?"
"Yes."
"One of dose off de bar?"
"Yes."
"Well, leave him be. We'll find him
In de mornin'."
BASE BALL IX THE WEST.
The Illinois Editor Toys with a Gra
phic Description ol'tlie Game.
The glass-armed toy soldiers of this
town were fed to the pigs yesterday by
the cadeverous Indian graverobbers
from Omaha. The llabby, one-lunged
Reubens who represent the Gem City In
the reckless dash for the base ball pen
nant had their shins toasted by the
basilisk-eyed cattle-drivers from the
West. They stood around with gaping
eyeballs like a hen on a hot nail and
sufered the grizzly yaps from Omaha
to' run the bases until their necks were
long from thirst. Hlckey had more er
rors than Coin's Financial School, and
led the rheumatic procession to the
Morgue. The Quincys were full of
straw and scrap Iron. They couldn't
hit a brick wagon with a pickaxe, and
ran bases like pall-bearers at a funeral.
If three-base hits were growing on the
back pf every man's neck they couldn't
reach 'em with a feather duster. It
looked as If the Amalgamated Union
cf South American Koodoos was In ses
sion for work In the thirty-third degree.
The geezers stood about and whistled
for help, and were to weak they couldn't
lift a glass of beer If It had been all
foam. Everything was) yellow, rocky
and whangbasted. like a stlgtossel full
of dogglegammon. . The game wait
whiskered and frost-bitten. Tho O ma
has were bad enough, but the Qulncy
Brown Sox had their flna sewed up un
til they couldn't hold a crazy quilt un
less tt was tied around their necks.
