ri WAS predicted last Saturday In
these columns, prospects for a
huso ball team in Hcranton this
season aic bright. This last
Week was especially productive
of activity that atoucd Intcrcnt in lo
cal ball. After Monday's meeting of
the Atlantic league at Wllkes-B.irre,
chances for a ptnfesslonul nine here
began to insuino a toeute hue. Soian
ton Is wanted In the Atlnntlo league,
badly wanted, and this was abundantly
evidenced by the del( pat Ion which at
lived fiom Wllkes-Harte to confer with
Set .in ton enthusiasts, l'icsldcnt Hot
aie Fogol. Socretnty Zimmerman and
others comprlhed th" pattv and all were
sanguine of success In their endeavors
to place a team heie.
M. K. Sanders and .1. 12. Kent have
nndertakfii the work of getting sub
scriptions to suppoit a team, and In
the past week have met with great
suet ess. Several offers have alieady
been made by entetpilslng managers
to take charge of a nine one of whom
has a team tinder teservatlon which
has won the pennant In the New F.ng

Base Ball Brevities.
TH12 AMI21UCAN association has
now been fail ly 1 uitichcil, and at
tho meeting m Chicago was given
a good start towards an active inireer.
As foietold by all follow em ot the
movement, Adilan Anson was elected
president, and there Is no doubt that
the "grand old man of base ball" will
engineer the now organization to suc
cess. Anson knows base ball from A
to '., and If the American association
does not buftet tho stotms of a first
season It will not be his fault.
llniiy Quln, of Milwaukee, is an
other indefatigable worker to whoso
iffoits a gieat deal is due, and
"Muggsy" MeOraw, the glngeiy little
Baltimore till id baseman, Is btlll an
other man who has done moie than a
lltle for the association. This new
league will certainly have some excel
lent teams and line players In it and
once fairly started will without doubt
prove a veiy formidable opponent to
the Nntlonnl league.
The oiganizatlon of tho Western
Hase Hall league was perfected Mon
day at Des Moines, la. Thomas J.
Hlckey, of St. Joseph, was elected
president, and the circuit will be tnado
up of the following teams: Des
Moines, Sioux City, Omaha, St. Joseph,
Denver and Pueblo.
Pitcher Dow ling, of last ear's
Louisville team, nnd who was sold to
Pittsburg, together with the rest of
the Colonels' nine, has been to-sold to
Milwaukee, from which city he oilg
lnally went Into the big league.
The Now York management Is mak
ing strenuous efforts to get Amos Un
file back in harness for this smson's
Giants, but at present It looks doubt
ful as to whether the big Hoosier will
again demonstrate his ability In the
metiopolK If Huslo was signed the
New Yoik team would be a far fiom
weak one. Under the management of
the veteian "Duck" I2wlng quite a for
midable aggiegatlon of players aie be
ing gatheied together, and this yeai's
Olant.s will be far moie wot thy of tho
name than last cat's unfortunate Pig
mies. It looks doubtful just now as to
wht'thei or not "Little I2va" Lange
will fiolle aiound center Held for the
Chicago team. In case he does not the
Wlnelv City fans will have the pleasuie
of seeing Sandow Mertes chase Mies
In the middle poition of their outfield.
Meitcs gave evidence of gieat ability
last ear, batting, fielding and tunning
the baes In magnlllient stle. While
Lange Is one of the best outfioldeis In
the business, still Mertes would veiy
satlsfaetoillv fill -Ills place.
The Washington club has stalled
disposing of ItS'Ciack plaers, and ac
cording to Dame Humor nearly all of
the stHr Senatois aie no longer tep
iesentatlves of Washington. "Winnie"
Meicer will be a Giant, nnd will prob
ably play thlul base. "Dick" Padden
and Slagle will play with Chicago In
llelder Harrj , who foimerly woie a
Sc i anion unifoim for a shoit while,
will be a member of the Hoston team.
Hany made a most favorable Impies.
slon in the period he plaeil heie. be
ing loaned Stianton by Buffalo, and
playing such a splendid game that the
string on him was pulled and he fin
ished the season in a HIon costume.
"Jack" O'Hilen who plaed on the
same local team that Hany did, Is i ex
ported signed with St. Louis, and in
case this is so he will mateilally
stiengthcn the latter both in the field
and w ith the stick. ' The greatest sale
of all, however, Is the disposing of
Pitcher Dlneen and night Fielder Buck
Kieeman, of Wllkes-Bane, to Hoston.
Dlneen Is a splendid pitcher, being well
lemenibeied heie by his magnificent
woik with Toionto's Lastern league
team. "With a strong team behind him
he ought to pi ove as big a success as
Willis, another Hoston pitcher, who
was reciuited fiom the Sjiacuse 12ast
ein league team, and last season de
veloped into one of the winning pitch
eis of the league.
"Home Hun" Fieeinan. as he will be
hencefoith known, last season carved
out, or lather batted out a leputatlon
for himself among the heaviest hitters
known to base ball, and his name will
go down to posteiity coupled with that
of Dan Hiouthei.s, Dave Orr and other
"fence batters." Last season he made
a tecoid of twenty-six home runs nnd
.n euoimous number of ttlples and
doubles, leading the National league
battels In extia base hits. This year
even more will be expected fiom him.
owing to the peculiar constiuctlon of
the Hoston giounds. One of the out
field fences Is neaier tho plate than
any fence in the league, and as a lestilt
home tuns have been c ompuiatlvely
easy hitting for the Boston sluggeis
fiom time Inimcmoilal. As a lesult.
home tuns by the dozen will be expect
ed fiom Fieeinan, and like the Im
mortal Casey, when ho stiikes out at n

TUESDAY'S bowling contest in
Wllkes-Uarro betvveon tho West
Knil club and tho Bicycle club
proved u defeat for the local plaveis,
but a very easily excused and mild
one. The game was only lost by seventy-eight
pins, although Captain
Wnrdell and'ltltz woie both out of the
game. Van Wormer and Taylor, how -
ever, who took their places, put up
very stiong games, DavK of Wllkcs
Ilarre, wus high limn with 1SS, lit cell
being next with lSH, unci Worden, of
Scranton, making 180. Tho tatter has
played the Hlcjclo club's best game so
far In the season, but none of the men
have quite struck their gait jet,
Monday night the second team -of the
Bicycle club nnd of the I2lks played on
tho lattei's alleys and tho club men
were victorious by a total of fortv
l'our pins. Both of these teams are
playing splendid games, the Hlcv do
club tollers in paittcular. Recently
their ilrst team was plnved, three
games being tolled, nnd the second
team defeated by only eight pins. In
Monday's match, Mitchell, of tho Klks,
was high man, with 20'. The members
of the victorious team nio Mooro, Tay
lor, Van Wormer, Foley and Dr. Cor
ser. Peter Zclgler Is captain of the
Klks' team.
Look at these scoies. e bowling en
thusiasts of Scranton, and marvel!
They occtured last Monday evening In
Chicago, the home of bowling, and are
certainly beauties. The Washington
and Phoenix teams met, nnd tho form

nix men hud the honor of making the
highest seoie yet rolled in tho West
by five? men, l.OnO. Ciesswell, of their
team, was high man, with 2"0, and
Hamni, another pliiei, had 219. In
this game one unfortunate plaver cov
ered himself with disgrace by only
maKlng $9, with two strikes nnd eight
spares, but eveiy other man had over
200. Cressvvell made nine sUlkes and
one break, thus setuilng his 250, Ituth
er had 209, and Thompson and 12ddy
201 apiece. Their opponents in this
game had two double hundted scotes,
Bangart making 2J1 and Brill 2nfi.

can never outlive the condition of vas
salage that made human slav. tv an
American institution. The negio pinc
tlcally solidifies (he .south, but with
out tho negro ms a political fac

With few exceptions they seem to
agree with the Hepubllcun pollev of
permanent ioesslon In the Philip
pine acquisition. A noted southern
Methodist pi earlier, has wiltten a pll
vato letter on this subject that Is giv
ing Mm the m longiessmen something
to think about. The letter Is mlvate
and was not Intended for nubllctloa
unci will not be published wlthoir the

name or state of the wiltor The Tilb
unecoieispondeiit Is peunltted to quote
a bilef extinct: "I observe," says the
wiilei, "an unmistakable tendency on
the p.ut of the Demociatle leadeis to
antagonize the tuesldent's policy of
parl'lc ition and ultimate teirltoilal
exp.in.sinn in peimanentlv holding the
Philippine islands. This icg.nd 11
fatal political blundci fiom the view
point of mactlcal politics. It Is an
egieglous blunder fiom nnv Amerlcnn
standpoint The plain people ato not
talking much as et,but they are
eliilng a lot of vetv seilous thinking.
So tin as niv Infonnatlon goes, nnd
ou know my oppoitunltles and facili
ties for getting Information, the talk
of hauling down the Hag In tho Phil
ippine Islands Is legaided bv them,
without legal d to antecedent politics,
as n deseciatlon to the Hag and 1111 In
sult to Ameilc.in manhood. You would
be suipilsed nt the extent or this feel
ing In the countiy wheie It Is common
ly undei stood that the politicians do
the thinking foi the people. On this
subject exactly the icverse Is true.
Theio is an ovei whelming lit an senti
ment among niv people, but with all
his magnetism he cannot change the
constantly gi owing sentiment In favor
of Ameilean expansion Mi. Hi van
imagines a distinction between expan
sion nnd Impel iallsm, but to the most
of u.s it seems to be a di.stlnition with
out a dlffeience."
The letter was wiltten to .1 uioml

The older of business In the .senute,
following the vote on the financial
bill, will be cletc'i mined by Hepubllcnn
caucus 'tomoriow. The main contest
for precedence is between the Qunv
case and Hnwailan teultoilnl bill.
One is the highest question of niiv
ilege and the other is n matter of ui
gent national linpoitunce. Senatoi
Culloin Is leading In the light to give
the Hawaiian question pieccdence, and
It is not because he thinks the less of
Uuav for he Is an avowed Quay man.
Tito conditions In Hawaii seem to
make Immediate legislation an Impeta
tive necessity and this fact may 00s
slbly oneiate to Mr. Qua's disad
vantage In the matter of consideration
If the debate can be e onllned two or

So It Is pmbable that a vote may be

This Is what the 12lp,hth Symphony
meuns to me
It is a fairy couit hi sonie woodland
depth. The king is bolstemus, hasty,
but withal a peisonaga of oveiflowin'
jollity. In the Hist allegio tho melo
dies of tho fairy folk uie Inteirupteil
by the rough banter of the old king.
The fun grows apace and the king ut
length repeats the fairy pong with an
Irresistibly comic effect. This passage
Beethoven inimitably inteipiets with
tho guivo bassoon. Tho btnsts of
laughter that follow this and the other
humorous passages shako evety leaf
in the wood. A novlto seeks to In

six notes have passed nnd then he Is
brushed into silence with a violent
"Pooh! Pooh!" Ho peiseveres. how

A remedy to cute catarrh of these
dlffeient organs must be a remedy that
nets directly on the mucous membranes
lining these organs. It must tie an In
ternal systemic temedy. It Is claimed
for Peruna that It cures catarrh wher
ever located. The following unsolicited
words from the people Indicate whether
this Is a true statement or not:
Mr. T. P. Fallz, ot Hllverton. Va
writes the following;
"Peruna Is Just what ou und otheis
recommend It to be. I used your Peiu-'
na for cntarrh of the ees ne cording to
your directions, and 1 am now well.
My eyes were red and I couldn't stand
the sunlight. The lids of my ees wero
thick, nnd some mornings T couldn't
open them. At times t couldn't see out
of one of them. I tried every temedy I
could hear of and then failed.
"The first bottle of Peiuna did me
nunc good than all the rest of the med
icines I had taken. I used only four
bottles and now I am a well man. I
am telling otheis what It has done for
me."
Mis. Bertha K01 jusem, Supeilnten

Mr. C. K. Cosby, Vale Mill, Tenn.,
writes:
"Five jenis ugo 1 conti acted a veiy
bad case of kidney tiouble and consti
pation. I wns expected to die bv all
my friends, but to the suiprlso ot nil
I still live, thanks to Peruna."
Mr. Samuel Sandeis, of Ulvthdale,
Mo , says:
"My disease was eatauh of the uie
tlua and bladder. I got a bottle o'
Peiuna and began taking It, and In w.
few elas I was lelleved and tould sleep
and rest at night. 1 think that Peruna
Is a valuable remedy."
The following letter was lecently n
coived by Dr. Hartman. the compound

Dear Doctor Haitnian I send mt
this testimonial, piompted by the giat
itude of my heait. I tan tiuly m.v
that Peiuna Is a gieat medicine1. He
len e 1 commenced taking It I had sjs
fpinlo eatauh and was In poor health.
Since I have been taken Peiuna I feel
like a new poison. I have a good appe
tite, sleep well, my food digests well,
and I believe In a short time that I
will be entirely well. I heartily recom
mend Peruna to all teacheis and stu
