THE SCllAOTON" TmBUNI-SATURDAY. JULY 16. 1898. I r - 3 i . CONDITION OF THE EASTERN LEAGUE Bate Ball Man of Sprlnglleld Union Reviews Situation. BELIEVES tlin riA'113 WILL not LOYALLY ADIlKltn TO THE NEW SALARY LIMIT-CIRCUIT AS IT STANDS NOW MAKES THE TRAV EL1NO EXIKNSES OK THE CLUBS VERY niGIl-SL'CIGHSTS THAT A NEW AN1 MORE COMPACT LEAGUE BE FORMED. "Manager Bnrnlo returned yester day from a trip to Now York," says the Springfield Union. White In New 0Tk Manager Uarnlo had a long con ference with President 1'. T. Powers and from the facta In his possession ho Is confident the league has weathered the storm successfully and will finish the season as nt present constituted. The transfer of the Rochester club to Ottawa has been consummated and things have been patched up in Syra cuse so as to go on there. If this had not been done President Powers stands ready to transfer the Stars to Worces ter. "Mr. Barnle says thai-fiie clubs havo all succeeded In putting the salary cut Into effect without serious trouble and without the desertion of as many play ers as was feared. When asked If ho thought the clubs would all observe the cut and the new salary limit of J1.S00 a month, Mr. Barnle said that they would and moreover, President Powers had full power to enforce It by exam ining nt any time the books of a club under suspicion and If found to be breaking faith a severe penalty could be inflicted. WILL BE A HAKD TASK. "With perfect respect for the opin ions of President Powers and Manager Barnle It is hardly believed possible that the magnates will live up to this new agreement religiously. So many equally Iron-clad resolutions have been violated openly In the past that It will not be surprising If the magnates break away from this one before long. This Is particularly true of the Cana dian cities, which, according to the scribes of those cities were opposed to the reduction of salaries at the recent meeting. The Canadian clubs are drawing nearly as well as usual and therefore, are not compelled to cut ex penses so deeply. It would not be a bad guess therefore, to pick one of the Canadian clubs to llnish in the lead on this very account. "Mnnagor Irwin, of the Toronto club, which arrived hero yesterday, said there was little truth in the report telegraphed from Toronto Tuesday night regarding trouble In his team over the reduction. The Toronto play ers made some objections to the cut, but a meeting of the players was held here yesterday, at which an amicable arrangement was reached. Whether it was In the nature of n compromise or nn acceptance of the full cut Is not dis closed. "Manager Irwin is at present carry ing only eleven men, and it might be possible for him to get under tho $1,S00 limit without enforcing tho full cut. The releases of Brouthers, Duncan, Fox and McFarlnnd have cut down tho ranks to tho present limit. Duncan goes to the Rome club of tho New York state league and Dan Brouthers, who has been stopping over a day or two In this city will probably return homo to day and turn his attention to develop ing his real estate at Wapplnger Falls until the war is over and base ball gets on its feet again. "Tho Springfield team has caused tho least trouble of any of them over tho reduction, having anticipated it and accepted It voluntarily before the league took action on It. Tho club has only eleven players at present, not In cluding Kelloy, who Is injured but still on the pay roll. THE BUFFALO PLAYERS. "One or two of the Buffalo players threatened to stand out. Pitcher Gray was one of the most outspoken oppo nents of tho cut, but as he won a thlr-tcen-inning gamo at Wilkcs-Barre yesterday, he has probably yielded gracefully. "In Syracuse things straightened themselves out Anally after coming pretty near disbanding. Kuntzsch withdrew his offer to turn the club's affairs over to tho players after sleep ing on it. Bill Eagan has been sent back to Pittsburg. It is estimated that Eagan was not keeping away from tho cups that cheer, and his salary was a big one. Catcher Lake has also been released for desertion. Lush will play second and Lawrence has been recalled from the farm to play in tho outfield. This brought about a reduction in salaries of nearly JGOO a month. Short stop Bone, of Pawtucket, has been signed. "In Wllkes-Barre tho cut was en forced, the release of Wright nnd refusal to accept it. In Providence there does not seem to have been any trouble. Several changes have been made to strengthen the team, however, Drauby and Leahey being released. "There have been several . reports printed to the effect thnt Springfield end Providence wanted to disband tho league immediately at last Sunday's meeting. The reports are a libel on Springfield, which stood firmly with Wllkes-Barre. Toronto and Montreal against disbanding and In favor of fin ishing the season. Tho rrovldcneo club threatened to quit tho lengue, however, if the Montreal team would not play there next Sunday, and it had to be patched up. "The Buffalo Express, which has a chronic Illusion about Buffalo break ing Into the National league, has had a worse attack than usual recently and seems confident that the Bison city will secure the Cleveland franehiso before next season. Such a thing Is not im possible, nor is It likely to happen If Buffalo should withdraw, that step in connection with tho permanent retire ment of Rochester from tho leaguo might bring about whalcsalo changes yhlqh would be of untold benefit to the. game In this section. A COSTLY CIRCUIT. "It Is no pipe dream that the present circuit Is a very costly one In traveling expenses. With Rochester out, it will bo more so, nnd with Buffalo out, it would bo Impossible to think of con tinuing any such circuit as would bo left. Moreover, It is such cities as Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse that havo forced tho salaries of tho Eastern league up so high that tho troubles of this reason havo been augmented, it Is only two or three years slnco the nominal salary limit of the league was IISOO, to enforce which Is making so much talk nt present. But It w;us never observed. Kuntzsch has stopped at no price to provide a winning team for Syracuse, nnd has bid salaries of DR. THOMPSON'S PRIVATE HOSPITAL One of the Most Creditable Recent Additions to the City's Conveniences. Few pedestrians on AVyomlng nvcnuo fall to admire the handsome red brick edifice at the corner of Mulberry street, tho Scronton prlvato hospital founded by Dr. Thompson. Tho building, which was erected by the prominent build ers, Mulherln & Judge, Is a model of Its kind and was constructed with the Idea of making tho hospital one of the most convenient ns well as spacious private Institutions of tho character In tho state. The Illustration accompany ing this sketch scarcely does justice to tho lino edifice or tho enterprising builders. But one can readily see that the building Is a worthy monument to the remarkable growth in building In terests In Scranton during the past dc cade. The science of medicine has made wonderful strides in the last half of a century. In place of tho saddle-bags that Doctor Tliroop nnd Doctor llollls- good players up so high that others were forced to follow him to keep In the race. Now ho is numbered among those ready to quit, while tho smaller cities, who havo been paying money out every year while Kutzsch was making it, nro still ready to stand by their guns. "Syracuse, Buffalo nnd Rochester with their Sunday game annexes and their constant Juggling of tho schedule to introduce extra games, have at last forced the public to believe that there was no real sport In tho 'Eastern leaguo pennant race, but that it was really a race for dollars. Nothing kills tho public's interest In a sport so soon as to learn that a magnate would rather lose tho pennant than to lose a chance at the receipts of a big Sunday game. "When the public sees some clubs In a leaguo playing ton or fifteen games more than tho others, although all arc scheduled for an equal number, the public loses faith in the fairness and honesty of the race. "It would bo a good thing for all concerned It Buffalo would go Into the National league, where Franklin's pen chant for extra games would bo se verely squelched, and If the present circuit would split up, leaving the east ern end of it to form a new and com pact circuit composed of cities devoted to sport for sport's sake, made up firm tho best cities of the Eastern, New England and Atlantic leagues in this section. "Providence, Fall River, Springfield nnd Hartford would form a New Eng land quartette hard to Improve on, and a couple more good cities could easily be found to combine with two of the nearest of the present circuit."

Syracuse Journal. Tim IUr.-ht Is charred with being a poor disciplinarian as the manager of tho St. Louis Browns. That seems a trlllo strange, as Tim's long suit as un uiii lilro was tho control which ho exercised over players and spectators. "Whan I was pitching ball for high base ball society 1 was ouo of tho star aces of this town of mlno hero In Oswego. On-o my friends were talking of running mo for mayor. Now I couldn't got a Job as a dog catcher." writes Bud Clarke to Jimmy McGuirc.

Hospitals speak well for the enterprise and humanity or a city. They arc land marks on tho path of progress, and Doctor Thompson nnd his associates certainly deserve, as they nro receiv ing, tho hearty commendation of the people of our city. more and mny bo signed. Field says that his injured hand Is now ns good as ever and ho is anxious to get In tho game, uo far as Field knows he has not been re leased by Rochester, but thinks that there will b- no dllllculty in getting per mission to go elsewhere, although Ot tawa, Rochester's successor, may prulcr him to Kelly. Field added that ho had never told nnyeno that he had retlrtd from ball playing for all time. Buiralo Express.

Some of the Things, for Which fie Is Held Responsible, Examined Care fully Not as Black as Painted. From tho I'oUsnMc Minor's Journal. In the American Craftsman of n re cent dale we find a very nhlo criticism and keen dissection oC one o the nil nieious speeches lately made by the Hon. John Wnnainakcr In his canvasa for dolesates to the legislature, who would likely he Imbued with n sense ol! his superior fitness to represent the state In the senate of tho United States. Particularly Is this criticism effective In (leiilinpr with n certain passage of one of Mr. 'Wnnamakor's harangues, embraced In the following1 quotation: "y friends, look at tho record of leg islative debauchery during tho Inst fif teen or twenty years. Phall this man who has dominated tho councils of tho Hepuhllcnn party bo longer continued In power? Of nil tho Republican legis lation which has passed during all these years not a single act passed without tho consent of Senator Quay and not a single net has passed which he ha's wished to defeat." The able critic accepts the challenge thus valiantly thrown In tho teeth uf "my friends" to "look at tho record of legislative debauchery," "not a sin gle act" of which "passed without tha consent of Senator Quay," and finds in it so much to confound the distin guished orator and militate to tho an nihilation of his geneial charge of "leg islative debauchery." that he Is entire ly concct In the designation of his counter charge as a "boomerang." Par ticularly Is this dissection effective In bringing out some of tho loading feat ures of this "legislative debauchery" which was fostered nnd controlled by Senator Quay, In Us application to tho working clusses. The latter, whoso field of labor In tho mining reglons.wlll honrtlly appreciate Mr. AVanamaker's service to them In developing tho author of such measures ns are herein enumarated and for which they have already been profoundly grateful, but to whom credit was duo has hitherto been Involved in much speculation. Mr. Wannmaker's ex position clearly exhibits the fact that to Senator Quay Is duo tho full meed of gratitude which tho working people feel toward the nuthnr of this most beneficent legislation. Merely a hurried glance, ns the writ er says, over tho laws enacted In the Interest of the working classes find fer which Senntor Quay, vide Mr. AVaiia maker, Is responsible, will reveal a splendid record of good accomplished under tho "domination" of "this man." MINK INSPECTORS. Twenty years ago thero wore no mlno Inspectors In the state. Thero are now twenty-two, all under tho most rigid civil servlco rules of any class of public servants in tho world, Theso inspectors must be chosen Iom those who havo made mining their life work. They must pass ono of the most severe exnmli.atlona beforo a board of highly competent authority on mining matterp, skilled in the science which most vitally affects un derground workers exploslvo and oth er deadly gasses, etc. Nor Is It huf flclent that they pass such an exam ination successfully, for every Jlv.5 years tho Inspector must compete In a public examination with other candi dates for tho position und thus from tlmo to tlmo ho must deimnatrato hia continued fitness for his tremendously responsible position, nnd also that ho has kept himself Informed upon nil now discoveries In mining science. For tho establishing of this splendid ef ficient corps of Inspectors organized for tho purposo of adding to tho com fort and Increasing the safety of tons of thousands of men, Mr. Wunamaker holds Senator Quay responsible.

Tho men who at the dally risk of life and limb brought from tho bowels of the earth the fuel without which civil ization would languish nnd life be came unendurable, wero absolutely without any legal protection against the most rapacious of exploiters. Timb ers for supporting the "roofs" of mines wero not furnished In sufficient quan tity nnd often when they wore furn ished they were of unsuitable dimen sions and of poor quality. Hundreds, thousands of men have died sudden nnd awful deaths for lack of proper timbers to support the "roof" from un der which the coal had been mined. Then only tho crudest means of ven tilation wero in use, nnd tens of thou sands of men and boys have been sent to untimely graves by tho slow poison of tho murderously foul exhnlatlons of Inadequately ventilated coal mines, or have been blown to atoms by the revolting fire damp explosions which with awful frequency used to depopu Idto whole towns In tho mining regions, blotting out nil tho able bodied male residents. Only those who havo tolled underground can realize tho terrible meaning of those awful agents of death foul air and fire damp. For the legislation which has so great a degree rendered tho mines wholesome and the lives of the miners less subject to tho awful and over present dangers of tho past, Mr. "Wanamaker would hold Senator Quay responsible. During tho twenty years In which the legislation of the state has been ac cording to Mr. Wanamaker "domi nated" and "controlled" by "this man," laws havo been enacted which require mine owners to keep the places where their miners work free from water, and for theso Inws and for tho better health and added comfort they bring to the miners Senator Quay Is to bo held ac countable. HOSPITALS. Roforo tho tlmo during which "this man" has "dominated" and "con trolled" tho Pennsylvania legislature, many a wounded miner has died while being taken from tho scene of some awful accident to tho remotely situ ated hospital. Even when the hospital was not too distant tho attendant ex pense In thousands of eases made any thing but homo treatment out of the question; homo treatment which, how ever loving nnd tender, ennnot give to the poor, mangled sufferer tho benefit ot tho appliances with which science has equipped tho modern hospital. Rut during these yenrs, while the legisla ture did all that this "Ross" com manded and refrained from doing nil that he forbade, that same Quay-con-trollcd legislature has established cot tages In nil the mining centres, In which miners nro treated free of charge, and every year hundreds of them nro spared the yialns nnd tho torture which sur gical science nnd skill, equipped with modern hospital appliances, can al leviate, and nro restored to their fam ilies undlsllgured by thoso deformities which nil too often, and unavoidably, attended the home-cured casea In the years beforo "this man" began his dreadful career of "domination and control." It is In no small degree duo to tho ennctment nnd enforcement of laws passed during these years of "Quay control" that "miners' asthma," a dis ease duo to defective .ventilation, has been nearly eliminated. During these years of "Quay domination" legisla tion tho number of accidents In mines have been so lessened that whereas, beforo tho era of "Quay rule" began, a human life wus sacrificed for every 103,127 tons of coal mined, now the record Is one llfo for each 3G0.185 tons. For ull this Mr. Wanamaker Insists that Quay and Quny only shall bo held responsible, and It Is reasonable to ex pect that If tho eloquenco of tho great and good merchant has not been en tirely Ineffectual, no "Quay candidate" will get tho vote of a single Pennsyl vania undertaker. Tho votes of the manufacturers of nrtlflclal limbs may also be won from the awful "boss" by tho good man's eloquence, for the sta SCRANTON.

During theso years In which the Pennsylvania legislature was under tho ponderous thumb of "this man," and while no act could pass of which he did not approve, nor any fall to pass which had his approval, other laws were passed which did for other divis ions of the army of toll what the ones nlready alluded to did for tho miners. Factory Inspection has been followed by the most gratifying results, and the twenty Inspectors of mills, factories, sweatshops, bakeries, etc., are doing for the manufacturing Industries what mine Inspectors and mining laws are for tho men who toll underground that tht rest of us may enjoy warmth and light. Thus, responsive to the dicta torial will of this dreadful "boss," laws have been enacted and arc being en forced which protect the poor and the weak against the avarlco of the wealthy and the strong, nnd -for all this the good exemplar of commercial greatness and champion of political purity Insists most fervently and elo quently that Senator Quay shall bo held to strict personal accountability. Miners and mlllworkers have their failings and their faults, but they have at any rate the virtue of gratitude, and It Is not at all unlikely that they may not look upon Mr. "Wanamaker's arraignment of Senator Quay exactly as tho former would wish. We sus pect that about the only good result which will come to the great and good merchant from this attack of his upon the senator will be that he will be able to teach to his Bible class with greater force, clearness, and point the story of Balak the son of Zlppor and Haalam the son of Reor, for he will understand as never before how an In tended curse In the mouth of a false prophet may turn Into a blessing. Let htm but succeed, ns he is evidently bent upon doing, in convincing the worklngmen of Pennsylvania that Sen ntor Quny Is absolutely and entirely responsible for the splendid record of labor legislation In tho Keystone state and In the mines and factories of Pennsylvania Quay buttons nnd badges will bo at a premium, nnd those candi dates who "wear the Quay collar" will have tho votes of every worker who Is Influenced by gratitude or swayed by Intelligence.

ORGANDIES aro more beautiful than over this season, being made with a drop skirt of similar material, which adds to their softness. A loely whlto organdy worn hem by a Chicago bello had six ruffles, headed and edged with pink, crimped "buby ribbons," tho lower ono stinlght around, each ono pointing a little more at the front. Sleeves tucked crosswise nnd finished with a ruf flefull front having rows of Insertion, and pointed organdy frill over the sleeves,' tho points disappearing In the full front.

Similar bows of ribbon at the wrists. BLACIC SATIN RIBBON rufllcs on whlto organdy are very stylish, or whlto laco trimmings on black, and by way of contrast a plain red organdy, the drop skirt having ono deep ruffle, and the outer skirt with three narrow ruffles, edged with narrow black velvet, worn by a dashing brunette, was most effective in summer twilight. Tho full waist had three bands of black laco Insertion woven in points at back und front. Sleeves In mnuiquetalro style, cuffs finished with 1 miles, and sash trimmed and edged with black lace, AN ELEGANT EVENING DRESS of black net over whlto taffeta silk de signed nnd sent here by Lord & Tay. lor, of New York city, for a special oc casion, had un upron front embroidered In cut Jet beads and spangles; the oaelc composed entirely of narrow net flounces coming r.p to the waist, with net sasn. trimmed with narrow ruffles, Tho. low neck corpaso had two straps ncrosj tha shoulders, with long sleeves (without lin ing) attached by the lower part of ths atm-holr, and tho full net front was or namented vlth Jet bow-knot deslgn3. SARATOGA IS THE PARADISE of the shade hat, as tho atmosphere Is dry and delicate materials nre not easily Injured. Ostrich feathers are as muclx worn as they were last season, nnd. noth ing displaces tho large, expensively trimmed leghorns. A charming Neapoli tan nn a sweet-lcoklng young girl, had a broad twist of whlto chiffon nnd pink velvet and wide chiffon ends with ecru laco appllqucd on the chiffon, and wired so ns to keep them In position. Three large, pink crushed roses under the brim, gave tho finishing touch. BLACK OR COLORED SILK MULL HATS never loso their hold on popular favor, and from among soft folds and ruchltws, branch out stiff quills or wings, Dut tho novelty for tennis, golf or yachting Is the "golf bonnet" made of plalded or gandy, with a daring front, loose crown, tilting toward the front and deep frill (or cape), at the back, with long, wide strings to be td under the chin; In fact almost a reproduction of what was once called In the country, a "cracker boa net."
