of the Piano
That is absurdly good on
paper. It takes strong and
vinorous lancuace to sen
such pianos, but they cannot
be sold in any other way.
Our Pianos
Speak for themselves. Come
in and hcai them talk. Their
arguments are convincing and
irresistable. We know you
will be captivated.
Our Prices, also, arc spec
ially favorable to the buyer.

IT WAS A GOOD STORY.

BABY BOY DESERTED.
Left on the Doorstep of the Resi
dence of Julius Boyer, of North
living Avenue Child was
Well Clothed.
A baby boy about one eat old was
desctted last evening on the noich of
the home of Julius Boyer, 41S Noith
Inlng avenue, near Mulberry street.
The Infant wns neatly and warmly
dressed. Nothing nbout Its clothing
could bo found which would give any
clue to its paterrtage
Sir. Buyer Is the window dresser for
tho Globe Warehouse. Sirs Boyei had
put their thtee children to bed and
wns heated for a quiet evening's lead
ing with her husband when they heard
tho plaintive cry of a child.
As their joungest child is but eigh
teen months old, they thought the cry
was from one of the tilo which the
mother had left sleeping unRtalrs. Sit.
Hoyor went toward the hallway and
hcaid the cry repeated. The cry came
from outside the house. He laised a
curtain and saw a wilggllng bundle
on the door mat.
The bundle wns brought Inside and
was found to contain ns lively and
sweet a looking specimen of boy baby
hood as any patent could ask for. It
censed crying as soon as the wrappings
were removed. The baby has blue
gray eyes and llght-coloied halt. Othet
characteristics Indicated It might be
of Get man parentage
Whoever abandoned the babe cer
tainly was careful In guarding against
the cold all. It wore wnrm white
eiderdown dimmed coat, hood, veil,
black stockings, black mitten and a
pair of new bcotch plaid shoes. Tho
clothing beneath the coat was
cKtn, ample and wnrm, but the most
cnieful scrutiny did not reveal a mark
or anything else that might establish
the child's Identity. Lying near the
little one on the door mnt wns u pack
age w tapped In a newspaper. The pa
per contained it wcll-lnundried supply
of articles quite necrssaty to a child's
toilet.
Sir. Boyer summoned a number of
nelghbots nnd It was decided to notify
t he police nnd tills was done nt once. Po
lice liendauniteis asked that tho child

child's abandonment was that offcted

o'clock and saw a man leaving the
Roer'.s gate. As the child was found

MEARS & HAGEN,
SCRANTON WILL
HAVE BASE BALL
ATLANTIC LEAGUE CLUB IS TO
BE LOCATED HERE.
Mnity Swift Has Been Notified That
Parties Represented by Him Will
Have the Franchise Fiobnblo
Make-Up of the League Circuit
Will Be a Very Compact Ono if
Hartford Is Eliminated Marty
Swift Will Manage the Local Club.
Scrnnton will have tt ball team In
1S09. and It will be n member of the
Atlantic league. So declnted SInrty
Swift last night, nnd he spoke posi
tively.
Two or thtee parties hae been mak
ing cffotls to secure the Atlantic
league fianchise for this city. It wns
vlitunlly glen to an outside company
but they could not glvo nbturuncc of
suitable grounds.
Local parties reptesented by Sir.
Swift secured the lights for Athletic
pnrk and mnde a bid for the franchise.
Yesterday the announcement was
inndo by K. G. Harrow, of Philadel
phia, president of the Atlantic lengue,
that Scronton had been selected as ono
of the cities of the Atlantic lenguo cir
cuit, und that the parties reptesented
by Sir. Swift were to have the ftun
chlfie. The lengue It was further an
nounced, would probably Include
Scrnnton, Wllkes-Buirc, Allentown,
Rending, Lancaster, Newark, Puter-i-on
and Hartford. If some other good
Jet soy city can be secured, Hurtfoid
will be dtopped, It Is thought Sir.
Swift will manage the club and will
at once begin the task of hunting up
material for a teum.
The use of the paik was seemed
under terms satisfactory to the Young
Slen's Christian association, which hns
had It for over u year.
Swift was the mannger of the last
club that represented Sctanton In the
State league, and wns very success
ful. THE REMODELLED LEADER.

THAT TREADWELL SHOOTING.

Did It Himself.
George Woolbuugh, of 1519 Lafayette

Companion," und referring to the
shooting on Thanksgiving day of
Geoigo Trend well, of Conklln, N. Y ,
by Frank Woolbaugb, n nephew of Sir.
Woolbaugh, with whom he makes his
home.
All. Woolbaugh claims that tho te
port that his nephew was Implicated
In the shooting Is fnlso. Young Ttend

himself while catlessly bundling his
