Scranton was defeated by Allentown yesterday afternoon by the score of 11 to 14. The game was witnessed by oidy three hundred spectators. Gil bert appeared for the homo team for the first tlnio here, playing in Lippert's place In left Moid; Llpix-rt playing sec ond. O'Connoll's hand being yoc qnlto sore. Gilbert had but onu cbanc in left Held and that was in the eighth In ning, when Stimmell Hew out to him. lie runs bases well and is sur to prove satisfactory. Scranton went to the hat first and Knoll was given his bass on balk'. Llppert and Dillon scored. Allentown made three runs In tho first. Scran ton rolled up four runs In the second and Allentown scored one. In the third Inning, Allentown mndo six runs. Jim Delehanty got to lirst on Rlsley'H error, scoring later. Llppert fumbled Stimmell's grounder, which resulted In a run. Henry, Mo Intyre and McCormlck scored, making Allentown's score ten to Scranton's six. In the seventh inning Scranton scored two more and then went out one, two, three. In the seventh Allen town made three runs on errors. Scranton made three, runs In the eighth, making the total runs eleven. Jim Delehanty scored one run in tho eighth, making Allentown's totnl 14 to Scranton's 11. The game was without any special features, save the batting of Joe Dele hanty, Dillon, Kagan and J. Delehanty. There weru but two earned runs f ir Allentown and one for Scranton. The game was peculiar from start to llnls.i. In Justice to the third basemen of both teams, it might lie well to Mate that the errors made at third were due mostly to the poor conditio.) f the ground, It being almost Impossible to Judge the balls. RIsley'H exhibition In the box was somewhat better than Stimmell's. Stimmell gave ten bases on balls, white Risley gave but one, and that was Henry In the third inning. There were eleven hits off Stimmell and lxio.:i off Rlsley, which does not do as .uch credit to the men as they deserve. Stimmell wan signed by Semitic n three years ago, but owing to uis weakness was farmed out. iiiHtiiBiiiigiiiftiiiiiiiiiiiiniicmiisM BICYCLE 1 5 N the acknowledged leader S S and stanJard by which all S S other bicycles are compared.

Administered Severe Punishment to a Colored Man nt Toronto. A story is told of Jl meson, the Indian twirler of tho AVIlkes-Harre ball team, which shows that he Is the possessor of good, healthy temper. .Ilmeson comes from tho Seneca tribe, who have a reservation near Tonawanda, N. V. He Is a graduate of the Carlisle Indian college, and a very lluent speaker. Ills oration before the congret-sional com mittee at "Washington, two years ago, was of the highest order. Jlmeson started professional ball Playing In Hie Cumberland Valley league, with bis college team, In 1SH6. He pitched for his team durinir the seasons of 1S0G and 1X07 and was signed by Philadelphia last season, but later was farmed out by thut team to Wllkes-Rarro. with whom he Is twirl ing tills season. While the Wilkes-Rarre men were in Toronto, last season. Jlmeson was placed In the box. He pitched an ex cellent game, despite the yelling of the Canadians. There were nearly 7,000 spectators at the game, and they were eiitliualastle, indeed. On urn- of the bleachers sat a colored man. He was the only Individual of color among th bleacher spectators, and. if report states his size correctly, he was out from fieneral Shatter's pattern. 1I was noisy, and while the crowd was quiet, nnd their heaits in their throats, over some ciltlcal point, this colored man would give a war-whoon, cast slurring remarks at the Indian, and did everything he could to rattle him. If he had addressed his conversation to tho Wilkes-Rarre team In general, theio would have been no trouble, but Jlmeson was greatly annoyed by the personal allusions nnd as soon as the Inning was finished, started for this "dark object." The colored man saw him coming, nnd was quick in making up ids mind what to do. Ho Jumped from the bleachers und cut for center Held as fast as his legs could carry him. The Indian was hot on his ti .til. Kvery ono of the 7.000 spectators was wild with excitement, und wondering wnat would be tho fate of the man of color if tho bad Indian caught him: for, they knew Jlmeson's temper was hot. Kvery spectator was sure Jlmesnii would catch his victim nnd mak thlngs most awfully uncomfortable for him, but they were disappointed. Re fore Jlmeson realized It, the colored man was going over center Held fence, and Jlmeson only succeeded In grab bing his tormentor by one leg. His grasp was not suiilciently linn, and tho colored man fell to the other side. While the Wilkes-Rarre men were op their way to the hotel, nearly a mile distant from tho grounds, they were chatting and Jollying with Hie Indian about Retting his war-paint on. when. llKu a Hash of lightning, Jlmeson Jumped from tho 'bus and made for an opposite corner. Tho players were puzr.led to know the cause of Jlmeson's sudden exit, but their wonderment was turned to amazement. Jlmeson spied his tor mentor and was administering to him a lesson ho would not soon forget. After this llttlo episode was over. Jlmeson climbed Into tho 'bus, as cool as if he had lined out a three-bagger. In speaking of tho affair, Jlmeson bald he did not mind n yelling crowd because It was nuturul for them cheer their homo team to victory, It possible; but ho did dlnllko to have some uneducated "black face" or "pale face" use hi in for a special target.

The Prince of Wales PKDSIUUS AT A MGBTfNO OF Trlfl SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CONSUMPTION. The Latest Scientific Data on the Cause nnd Cure of Consump tion, Presented by Sir Wil liam Broadbent. The nppalllng ravages ot consump tion In Hnglnnd have led physicians and philanthropic persons to organize Into a society having In view the pre vention of tho disease by tho elimina tion of Its causes and by education ot the people as tc the wide spread t'anger of contamination. In tho remarks In troducing Sir William Ilroadbenl'B speech It was stnted; "Of all encnilea to human life In this country the tubercle bacillus Is thi most poweiful. By far the commonest, nnd most fatal mode ot Its attack is of course tho invasion of tho lungs. Rut It may settle In the Joints, producing white swelling, or In the spine, thus producing; nine-tenths of nil hump backs and spinal abscesses: In the skin and its glands, when It la called scrofula; and again In tho case of chll- dren in the bowels and their glands; and upon the brain covering?, produc ing meningitis." Sir William Rroadbent said: "We learn from the returns of the Registrar General, that nearly 00,000 deaths are registered every year as" due to tuber culosis, In England and "Wales alone, and to this number may be added a considerable percentage of the deaths set down to acute affections of the lungs in which tubercle bos played an unrecognized part." eo.ooo victims ykarly: Stop and think of that fact a mo ment. In a little country iikc Kngland. including Wales, a country which could be swallowed up In its entirety by one single state out of the 45 States of tile Union, there are more than fiO.OOO people die every year of tuberculous dlseas-o. Nothing can speak for the deadlim-ssi and insidiousness of that disease like tho plain figures. If sixty thousand persons died each year of cholera In an urea no larger than that of the State of Illinois, there would be an entire exodos from the state. If every year, unfailingly and unchangingly yellow fever claimed !0, ono victims in a similar area, that ter ritory would be utterly forsaken. Hut the death tribute to this mon stroiK disease in the United States Is no less appalling. One-sixth of the deaths annually occurring In this coun try are attributed to consumption. It is the ono dlsei'.'-e which hn seemed to bid defiance to doctors, and which continues Its ravages in the very glare of the white light of scientific Knowl edge. In commenting upon the work of other nations in th effort to light consumption, Sir William Rroadbent said, addressing the chairman, the Prince of Wulos, "Your Royal High ness raav therefore well reproach us for lagging behind Germany in a mat ter of so much importance. America, also is In advance of this countiy." AML'RICA AHEAD. The tribute paid to this country by the eminent lecturer Is deserved. The deudly character of consumption, the widespread area covered by the dls- eaEO, the number of Its victims, tho perplexing problems connected with it cause and cure, have drawn the atten tion of the keenest scientific minds of the medical profession to the tubercle bacillus. Of till tboe who hnvo given laborious days and nights to the ques tions involved in the treatment of tho causes of consumption, no ono has achieved more remarkable success than Dr. It. V. Pierce, chief consulting phys ician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surg ical Institute, Rtiffalo, N. Y. In an ex perience of moro than thirty years, assisted by an associate- staff of nearly a score ot specialists, ho has demon strated that in cases of "weak lungs," spitting of blood, bleeding of the lungs, bronchitis, obstinate lingering coughs, und conditions which If neglected or uiiFklllfully treated lend to consump tion, there Is help and iiealiug In al most every case by tho usi- of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. How uniform the action of tills medl clno Is found to be may bo Inferred from the fact that In all the thousands of oases treated and recorded, ninety eight out of every hundred have been perfectly and permanently cured by the uso of tho "Discovery," und the other two have acknowledged tho help re ceived from the medicine. IT ALWAYS HELPS. It ALMOST AIAYAY8 CURES. Tho cures effected by tho use of "Golden Medical Discovery" are the more remarkable, because In a largo number of cases, thoso who use tho medicine are in un exhausted condi tion, having tried ull other means of cum without result, and having been II II. I. iMI If I . I II , I I lilJlii i- i u iii ' ' " fflven up by doctors to die. A good example ot such cases Is offered In tho following letter: "About llvo years; ago," writes Cor nelius McCawley, esq., or Leecbbitig. Armstrong Co., Pu., "I wan tukrn with hemorrhages nnd I hud eighty-one of them In all; somcthlmes spitting live pints of blood at one time. It brought mo down so low that I could not walk nor got nny sleep. I tried a great mtri; things and went to doctors In Pit: burg, but got no relief. My friends , gave me up to die, nnd Indeed gathered two or three times to see mo die. My doctor did all he could for me, was very attentive, but could not stop the hemorrhages, and all gave me up to die, with consumption. I got u little book of Dr. Pierce's, and while looking over the names In the pamphlet of those who stated that they hud been cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery I found one case that seemed to be exactly like mine the cuse of Mr. C. II. Harris. I sat down und wrote to htm describing my case. In nbout one week 1 got an answer from him telling me that Dr. Plcrco' Golden Medical Discovery saved his life, nnd he advised me to try ". I told my doc tor I would try It and ho snld 'You may as well take water,' but I thought It was only 'die' anyway, so I wrote to you and commenced the use of the 'Golden Medical Discovery.' When I had taken six bottles I had eight bad hemorrhages, I wrote to you and you sent me word to keep on with the 'Dis covery,' and the hemmorrhngi- would stop after a while. I thank the Loid it did. That was over two years ago and I have not had any bleeding since. I have taken In all forty-two bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery.' nnd eight bottles of the Pellets," and to day 1 can do a great deal of work. I con truly say that the medicine cuied me through the blesslng'of tho Lord. "There are a gieat many using the 'Golden Medical Discovery' through my recommendation. 1 have people doming to un ulmoM every day and saying. -What did you take? I never expected to see you get so well.' 1 am a walking, living advertisement .f Mitr grand medicine. I tell people when they ask me that I owe all to Dr. Pierce'H Golden Medical Discovery. I had ii young man come to -no today, bltei'inir from the lungs: 1 told him u take, the 'Discovery' and it would euro him. May you llvo long to hi s man kind with your medicines." Mr. McCawley's case is a fair spe i- men of the cases which are presented tc Dr. Pierce, and his cure 1 no wis. lemarkable, nor doer it differ from i e KOHir.bty or t tires which folio v th eon-limed and conscientious use of 1 r Pierce's C'o'oen Medical Dlseov- re "I was veiy sick Indeed." writ's .'- Mlie .i.'icMs. of 1-fltoii, Kent ...

Hud a rough, spit blood, was very short of breath, in fact could hardly get my Lreath at all some times. I had pains it. my chest and right lung, also hud dyspepsia. Refore I took your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pli-asunt Pel lets' 1 was so weak I could not sweep a room, and now I can do a small wushlng. I worked In the canning fuc toiy this fall, and I feel like u new person. .1 thank the good Lotd, and nlso Doctor Pierce for making this good medicine. 1 believe that th Lord and your medicine hnvo saved my life.

Rut these facts are true, There was a cough and 'Goldenledleal Discovery" cured It. There wus spitting of blond and "Golden MedUal Discovery" cured It. Then- was pain In tho chest and lvng and "Golden Medical Discovery" cured it. These were people given Jp to die. who are alive nnd well owirnj tu the use of "Golden Medical Discovery."

Why the Sky Is Blue. Did It ever strike you to inquire why tho cloudless depths of the sky above in Is so delicately blue-.' It Isn't that the gas we call ulr Is in lUelf blue. So far an we know it is milto transparent and absolutely colurless. No; tho blno comos from reflected light. Air Is never puio; jou couldn't llva In it if It were. Countless millions of tiny particles, ehlt-Hy of watr, are always suspended in It. und these arrest tho freo passage of light. Each particl has a double reflection one Internal, the othi.r external and so the lellected rays suffer the usual result of what Is called "Inter ference," and show color. You will notice that the sky appears much bluer if you luok straight up than If .vim look across toward tho horizon. The reason Is that, tu tho fust instance. Mii are naturally looking through a much thinner layer of air than in tha second. If there were no air. and consequently no watery vapor, and nothing to inter fere with the five passage of light, even at midday the sky above would look per fectly black, and all the stars would bo plainer than they do now at midnight.
