THE SCRAOTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1900. r I)ttXXKXKSX)to;SSXXJO & The World KKKKKK555m5K5KK:or: MANAGER WAITEH W. BURN IIA.M did. not return home yes terday afternoon from Reading, ns writ expected, but stayed to work on the schedule, he be ing one of the commltteo appointed to draw It up. As a. result, the meeting of the dltectois of the team, which v.aa to take place this afternoon, was postponed. Prom all present indications base ball ought to prove a great success In Seranton this season. The most suc trssful year of base ball ever oxpeil cnced heie was during the tlmo "Marty" Fwlft mnnaged the old State League team. This new league has a moro compact and uhortcr clrcult.thcro will be a faster class of players In It, and the cities arc eo paned off that a wholesome Bplrlt of tlvalry exists throughout the entire circuit. The season will Include probably about 120 games, of which half will he played on the home grounds. Sunday luiBe ball will be plaed at Newark, Klmlra and Jersey City, nnd special games will be plnyed on Sun day at P.iterson with the Independent team of that city. Special games will also be played with th Atlantic City team. The managers of the various teams urchaid at work getting together thojr pl.iyns, and the Athletics, Read ing, Allentown and Elmira teams have piactlea'.ly thr'r full nines already ot ganl7ed. Manuqer Rurnham has feigned sever al clever j.oung players, nnd will bo nblo to get out his tenni, within tho nxt day or two Mnnngor Cljmer, of "Wllki'S-Raire, Is also hard .it work, nnd will, put a team In the field which will ably represent the Barons, and which wilt ceive to keep very much alive the old time llvalry between the two cities. Base Ball Brevities. FRANK DILT.ON, last jear the Sctanton Ilr&t baseman, Is rapidlv batting himself, If the expression mav be used. Into tho hearts of the Pittsburg fans. Ills work during tho piactleo games, so far, has been of tho gilt-edged oider, and has been com mented upon most graciously by the Pittsburg newspapers. During the games with the Rochester nine, champ Ions last year of the Kastern league, his batting was the feature of every game. In one contest, In particular, when "Pon" -Morse, the old Seranton pitcher was In the box for Rochester and holding the big batsmen down in fine style, the tall young first baseman smashed out a single and two double sackers, nnd was robbed ot a home urn by Lush making a grand catch In the outfield. Jonett Jleekln. once legarded as one of tho greatest pitchers in tho business while he was Amos Rusle's running mate on tho New York Giants, and w ho last year played with Boston for a short while, has been signed by Mana ger Prod Clat ko for Ills Plttsbui g team. Manager Fleishman now has h's Reading team almost completed and on papcr.at least.it looks strong. Vooihees, Ames and Uson will pitch, Cogan, Fox nnd probably -yder wilt constitute the catching dei-v. ;nent, Beaumont will play flist; Conroy, .second; Lawience third and at short either O'Neil or "Kid Cross will be stationed. Tate, last year with Allentown, and who also played hero a short while, will play left field; Moran wilt be in center and Caulflower Is wanted for light. The hard hitting e-Cleveland player is also claimed by the Wilkes-Banc team. Tho St. Louis team has on its pres ent list twenty-five men. There are eight pitchers alone, of whom Harper, the old Seranton twirler Is one. Michael Walth, of Mayfleld. Is galn Ing.lainels galore on tho baso ball dia mond, early as the season Is. As will be reraembetod he last year played left field on the Georgetown nine and batted second In that collection of terilflc-hlttlng young collegians. Po tar this season his work has been the featuib or every game played. In ths match with the champion Brooklyns ot the National League ho fielded his posi tion in lrieproaehable stlo and made the longest hit of the game, a hand some dilve for three bases, made off McGInnlty, the crack pitcher who was tho star Baltimore twirler last season. In Wednesday's game with Lehigh t'nlversltv he again loomed up strong In tho Held and lined out a single and two home runs at tho bat. Tho Ollklal Base Ball Guides for 1300 have now been Issued by A. J. Reach nnd A. Gj. Spalding and Brothers, and prove tho same reliable, Interesting Hummarys of the year's base ball that they alwas hae. Both aie sub stantial, solid-looking little books, full of technical Infounatlon nnd news. The Spalding Guide Is embellished with several handsome plates of the college Our New Stores Are Open.

Tho veteran baso ball player, Dan Biouthcrs recently figured as the hero In a tiro at Wapplnger's Falls The blaze was caused by the overturning of a kerosene lamp, which set (Ire to tho carnet. There were two children In ti cindlc In ono corner of the room, who were In imminent danger of losing their lives. Big Dan lushed Into the room, and exerting his groat strength tore up tho caipet and threw It Into tho street. His action occasioned much newspaper comment, which tho ex Leaguer )orc with the same modesty with which ho foimcrly carried off the battlns honors of the country. Among: the Pugs. BOB PITZSIMMONS Is scheduled to soon Sght Joe Choynskl This will bo tho fit st entry of the big California fighter Into the ring slnco his disastrous light with tho terrible little darkey, Joe Walcott. Tho men will bo pretty well matched as far as build and strength goes, but Pltzslmmons Is accredited with tho power to stand moro punishment than tho blond light er from tho West. Tuesday, April 17, "Mysterious Billy" Smith and Mattv Matthews will light befoie tho Broadway Athletic club, of New Yoik. It Is scheduled to go twenty-live rounds but there nre many win think that the mysterious ono will put his antagolst out of the game long bo fore the full limit Is gone. Smith en joys a first-class reputation In this city, since he demonstrated his pow ers by the terrible punishment ho ad ministered to Jim Judge. Jim Jeffries, tips the scale at 225 pounds at present and says he never felt better In his life. He Is going through a course of hard training and Is rapidly getting Into condition to meet Corbett. Tho big champion Is confident of his ability to defeat "Pom padour Jim" and also declares his wil lingness to again meet Tom Sharkey. Strikes and Spares. Tlin ELKS' bowing tournament has now been lalry begun and prom ises to be fully as successful as that conducted on the Bicycle club nl leys. Players have been entered from most of the local clubs, and some very fine bowling has already been done. At the conclusion of the tournament, a match will be played on the alleys be tween tho Klk Second team and the Wilkes-Barie West Hnd Club "Scrap Irons." Mitchell of the Elk team recently bowled a Aeiy pretty game on the Elk nlleys nnd rolled 26i In the course of the game ho made ten strikes, and had two breaks. THE FIRST PONY EXPRESS. In the Saturday Evening Post Homr Bassfoid gives a full account of a talk he had with Colonel Alexander Majors shortly before his death. Colonel Majois wns a member of the film that contiolled the famous Ponji Evpiess. Colonel (Majors said: "We had Hist sounded a lot of the important business men of both the coast nnd eastern cities as to Its desirability. We learned that the llxed charge of $." a ticttur of ono ounce weight would be welcomed as surprisingly low that Is, If we were able to keep our promise as to the de llveiy of a letter in something like eight davs "The expense, at the outset, was enoimous. We bought, In round num bers, COO hardy, healthy ponies, ture of foot and well tiled We employed nil the bilsk, dae-devil joung men of good habits whom we could find; we built post houses every ten miles, un less It chanced that our stage posts would seive the puipo.se.

It sometimes happened t'mt Illness actually prevented a man from taking up hip trip as assigned to him, but there was never difficulty in getting tho other rider to take up nt least one extia leg of the long journey across the plains. "I have been asked sometimes wheth er tho express stopped on account ot weather.

Spring Costumes, Bordered Fabrics, Easter Dresses, Easter Millinery, Independent Skirts, Eton Jackets, The "Mess" Jacket, Spangled NetB, Parasols. New Yoik, April 11. The feminine who does not uppear attractive In her new spring costume must bo deficient In taste, as mateilals, colors or styles weie never more varied, or defective figures so easily concealed. Bordered falulcfl aie nuinctoim this season, and otnmlnes (a species of open canvas) show wide colored borders edged with narrow white fringe, two handker chiefs or "shawls" In exact harmony being required for a wulst and a thlid fs often purchased for tho parasol, which of necessity Is almost square, these "shawls" averaging about a yard and a quarter each way. BORDERED CREPE DE CHINES aio also lovely materials, In all stjllsh light shades, not however filnged, but have merely bands of Oriental color ings at ono edge. Usually, a veiy full taffeta silk plaiting or ruffing le used on the under skirt, and the bordered stuff forms tho ovorsklrt. Coids may now be run thiough lengthwise tucks on skirts, and these are known under the name of candle 'wick" sklits, caus ing great dismay to the fashionable dressmaker who hesitates to Increase her already high prices and yet more than double tho usual labor muRt now be OMiended on i fashionable costume. EASTER DRESSES ARE FOR THE MOST PART so overloaded with trimming as to be entlioly opposed to good tuste, as an exception, however, a gray poplin Is made with a plain sklit and border of white satin applique; Eton jacket and sleeves almost covered with similar ap plique. This is a novel feature, and in a blue fouluid silk, four rows of blue libbon, connected by hemstitching, are lifted aiound tho hips with corset like closeness, pointing at the fiont nnd fiom Uk- lower one depends tho very full oklit with one low of blue libbon near the-lower edge. A eiepe de Chine costume has bioad double edged lace lltted around the hips and the sklit In wide tucks. EASTER HATS ARE AS OFTEN PREPOSTEROUS as beautiful and the piesent style ot piling tulle, chiffon on Mllane, fiult and iloweis together often results In dlio confusion. As a rule, colois aie flo pale that there Is often a want of contract, that fault hovvevei cannot be nscrlbed to the all-red hats, which aie usually very charming, made of tians parent mateilals often supplemented by touches of cilmson velvet and llow eus. Black nnd white hats, while shown In great numbeis, are e.tien:e ly trying. INDEPENDENT SKIRTS Include those of mixed cloth, black and white plaids', broadcloth, peau-de-sole, black cloth or silk applique, all of which show no seams, while on the other hand, a black silk skirt composed of small gores tucked throughout, was exhibited by a leading house: thus theie Is no lack of vailety. Flguied lace In either black or white, over colors Is very appropriate to spangled net bodices now considered a part of every stylish wardrobe THE ETON JACKET HOLDS UN DISPUTED SWAY, not only as a stylish corsage, but as outdoor coverings come In cloth or silk nppllque, not unfrequently tucked of silk throughout, with white or ecru laco rovers, or black applique revcrs Is handsome over white silk or satin Cilmson cloth Etons with brass but tons and green velvet collars aro ex tremely conspicuous, but happily will be worn only ly young people. The "Mess" jacket Is another fashionable fancy, small nnd roufided at tho rrdnt, without any collar, and having a white cloth facing all around, over which Is laid n second facing of tucked nnd pointed black taffeta silk, the points overlying tho -white facing, both of which ure in sharp contrast with the crimson fabric. A iovv of brass but tons at each side of tho front Is op tional. As a waist, In high-class cos tumes tho Eton Is cut very short, nnd tucked batiste waists aio largely used under them, with n handsome lace Jabot at the front. For older personi rather long silk sneques, trimmed with passementerie, or long silk cloaks, for carriage or evening wear, are shown, and capes (which lose their Jaunty ap pearance when long) constitute lead ing styles for middle-aged ladles to whom Eton Jacket would bo fatal THE NEWEST SPANGLED NET SKIRTS In white havo appllqued laco bordeis around the lower edge, sprinkled with silver or gilt sparks, nnd from this bolder, n fibre-like designs In spangles ascend for about eighteen Inches, tho remainder having oval spangles at close inteivalfl. Instead ot a lace bor der, a deep white silk knotted frlnga Is substituted, with the upper part of tho skirt thickly spangled. In black spangled nets, "all overs," patterns are preferred to to heavy borders, and spangled Etons may take the place of the net bodice. PARASOLS EMBRACE eveiy fashionable fad, beginning inltn tho "tailor-made," of plain colored bilk with fancy handles for example, a pug dog's head or an eagle's head, etc. Then come the bio.nl stilpes, either plain or In chine designs, on plain silk; next embroidered patterns on contrasting surfaces, then nppll qued laco leaves, or black -laco dots ot many sbes giouped together on pink or white silk. Chiffon parasols nre without number, white being In tho majority. The fringed "shawl" or "hnndkei chief" paiasol is a passing fad, and all that class of materials arc only suitable for persons ot un limited Income. Tnnnle Field. THE CHEAPENING TELEGRAPH. From Ainstce's Mipnyine The inn ease In the use of tho fob -graph for business puipo'es has been accompanied by a steady reduction In the cost ot messages.
