For five Innings Saturday afternoon the contest between the Scranton Champions and Harrisburg Legisla tors was as evenly contested and in teresting a one as tho most fastidious enthusiast could desire. Then, how ever, the slaughter began and tho local batters full on the lnshoots, out curves, fast ones, slow ones, In fact all the mysterious collection of fool ers served up by the night Honorable Joshua Keener, and these, together with several yellow errors, contrib uted by the Harrisburg fielders, com bined to give Scranton twenty runs, and the tenth straight victory. Hurnhnm put a patched, up team In the field. Knox going to short, Jack O'Brien to third and Kervln to center. The change did not affect the fielding of the team particularly and certain ly did not affect the batting. Kervln led In the slugging. In his six np pearances at the rubber he landed on the horse hide four times with the vlclousness of a Lajole, nnd two sin gles and a brace of three-baggers were the results of his day's work. Catcher Toft, who early In the season wos condemned ns a light batsman, but who has been rapidly dispelling the illusion, showed up well with the stick and banged out four clean sin gles. Sir Richard Knox was also In evidence, and swung the small sized telegraph pole, which Is hla favorite bat, with sufficient effect to make a home run and two singles. Big Itoeber Mclntyre was also heard1 from, con tributing a three-bagger and two one baseis. Shefller got in three singles. Knoll a triple and Blngle, Pirate O'Brien a couple of singles and Jack O'Brien and Kennedy a single apiece. Kennedy wasn't In the best of con dition, and In addition to being hit hard enough to win most ordinary games was rather wild, giving six bases on balls and hitting- with the ball one batsman. However, at criti cal points he pulled himself together, np was particularly marked In the third Inning. With two men gone, Vlgneux hit to deep left center. It was a beautiful hit, but fast fielding Kervln held Vlgneux at second and gave him only two bases on the drive. Ferguson drew a base on balls nnd VItrock also walkfd. With the bags full, Keener stepped to the bat. The st lwart twlrler has been batting well all season, and wore a smile on his lace a yard wide. It lost its width, however, when Kennedy put two strikes over and he struck out by hit ting at a ball he could not have reached with a nine-foot club. Splko Shannon was the bright par ticular luminary of the visiting team with the bat. He made a single, double and triple, and they were all good, long, clean drives.

Dick Knox's home run Saturday earned lilm a box of cigars. Hartsell, last year with . Louisville, is now playing with Indi.ui!.polls In the Ami'iican league ami leads the batters of that association with .432. In the seventh inning of Saturday's game Jack O'Brien had ids shoulder injured while sliding to second nnd was kept nut of the game for the re-t of the Innings. Catcher Frank MeManus, tho crack Allentown backstop, has been sold by the management to the Chicago team In the American league. 5Ie Mantis is a splendid player and ought to shine in tho western company. Danny Coogan, one of the catchers of tho dis banded original Beading team, Is another one of the plajers who has already drifted Into tho New York State league, and is making a big hit by his backstop v,ork for Cortland. Catcher Dyers Saturday night left tho Harris burg team and went to Portsmouth, Va. Nego tiations were Immediately made by the manage ment for a new catcher and in today's game at Wilkes-Barre a new face will be teen on the liar- ri-Jmrg team. Manager Burnbam jesterday received a tele gram from James J. Corhett to the effect that he would 'appear In this city Wednesday and play first base for Scranton against Allentown. Before the game he will spar three rounds with Jack McVey, his traveling companion. It is no wonder that the Harrisburg pitchers are batted so hard. The team carries two twirl era and on the days they do not pitch they are utilized in the outfield. This Is enough to weary any player and on a pitcher, in particular, whose arms needs the most rest, this is terribly wear ing. Saturday's ciowd at the park was about as hospitable an aggregation of rooters as ever as sembled to see a team play lull. Throughout the entire game they rooted for tho visitors and whenever a plajer wearing the flerj" Harrisburg uniform crossed tho plate he was cheered loud and long, Sandow Mcrtes, of Philadelphia, center fielder for the Chicago National league team, Is pushing Flick, of Philadelphia, haul for tho home run hitting honors. Friday against Boston he made a double and two home runs and Saturday made, a two bagger and another driie for four backs. An odd happening took place in Saturday's game betwem Harrisburg and Scranton. At tho cone Union of Siranton's half of the eighth in ning the Jersey City players, one and all picked up their bat bags and started for the gate, think ing the game was over. Umpire Unwell, strango to say, labored under tho same delusion and it was unly after the players were recalled from the grand stand that the game went on. TAYLOR NEWS. An Interesting Base Ball Contest. V, M. W. of At Picnic a Grand Success Porsonal News. The base ball contest which took place on the Old Forgo park grounds on Saturday afternoon for the cham pionship of the county and a purse of $25, between tho Reds of this town and tho DaBhers of that place, was well contested and proved to be Interesting throughout. Owing to the lateness In commencing the game, It was decided to play only seven Innings, but up to the final Inning the score remained a tie at 4-t, so it required an extra Inning to decide It. The winning run was scored by McIIugh, of the lleds, who gained his base by a neat hit. He stole second and was brought In by a nlco two-bagger from the bat of M. Glynn.

As recently as 1S93 the Postmaster General reported to congress that the Introduction of any system of rural free delivery of letters and papers would be Impracticable ns Involving an expenditure of $20,000,000 a year without any commensurate revenue. In his nnnual report for 1894 Postmaster-General BIssell declined to spend the appropriation of $10,000 made by congress to test the feasibility of rural free delivery. When Congress Increased the appropriation for a test to $20,000 in 1895, Postmaster-General Wilson adopted the opinion of his pre decessor and of tho house committee on the postofllco and post roads that the plan of establishing rural free le dellvery was wholly impracticable. He added that ho had assumed 'con trol of the department too late In the fiscal year to take any action under the appropriation, but should Congress see fit to make It nvallable for tho current year he would carry out tho experiment ordered by the best meth ods he could devise. Congress made $10,000 available for tho purpose and In 1890 Postmaster General Wilson put the Idea to Its first test. The experiment was en tirely successful and since then tho system ot rural free delivery has been so generally extended that It now In cludes 3S3 distributing points In forty one of '.ho forty-live states, the excep tion being Idaho, Montuua, Mississip pi and Wyoming, By degrees the ap propriation has been Increased from $20,000 to $150,000 nnd it is $300,000 for this year. At tho head of tho states served bv rural free delivery is Ohio, the most favored state, with forty-nine routes, Indiana having forty-four nnd Iowa twenty-three. The development of the system, however, has for topographi cal reasons been very Irregular. Thus In Texas there are only two rural free delivery routes, while tn South Caro lina thero aro twenty-one. In Wash ington there Is one only, while In California thero are fourteen, and In Louisiana, Alubama and Florida thero aro three routes only, while In Maine there are seven. In the opinion of post office authori ties, however, tho present system is only In its Inclplency and among the plans in view for Its further exten sion Ib ono for rural free delivery of mall by electric cars. Some farmers and other residents ot the north eastern part of Massachusetts and the adjoining New Hampshire territory have taken steps In this matter, tho idea having occurred to them a few The People's A POPULAU CLEARING HOUSE fop tlu Bauslt ot .VU Who Have Houses to Kent, Kcrtl Estate or Other Property to Sell or Exchange, or Who Want Situations or Help Thais Small Advertisements Cojt One Cent n Word, Six Insertions (or Five Cents n Word Except Slttuitluru WuntcJ.

The free delivery of letters In cities was Inaugurated by the Postofilce De partment in 1SG3, when tho whole number of letter carriers In the Uni ted States, now 16,000 was less than 700. It did not Increase materially un til 1880, when the number of cities nnd towns having free delivery of letters had risen to 101. Ten years later, In 1S90, there were 519, and the number Is now .45. There were by the last Federal census 713 cities or towns In tho United States having a population In excess of 5,000, and practically all these places and a few others besides have now free delivery of letters by carriers. One remarkable and salutary effect of the extension of tho rural free de livery system has been the great Im provement It has brought about In country roads. The extension of the system being optional with the Govern ment, the plan has been adopted of favoring those regions In which the roads are best, and as a consequence there has been a general Improvement in the condition of roads traversed by rural carriers. This has ueen espec ially the case In the West and It tie counts for the apparent preference ac corded to Ohio and Indiana, In which States the construction of gord roads has been a prerequisite to tho estab lishment of a rural free delivery ser vice. In ono county of Indiana tho farmers Incurred an expense ot $2,600 to grade and Improve a road in order to obtain free delivery. The traditional policy of the post office department is constantly to ex tend Its operation, taking, Irrespective of the volume ot revenue derived, no steps backward, and It has been found generally that as the expenses Increase the revenues Increase correspondingly. Thus, where rural free delivery has been established, the number of let ters written and the number of letters received have Increased and In some cases to an extent sufficiently large to make up for the additional outlay caused by the delivery. A Pennsyl vania farmer mode recently a compu tation which other farmers have ap proved, and the post office department has thought worthy of publication, to the effect that, on an average, every farmer not served by rural free de livery goes at least once or twice a week to the nearest post office for his mall, and occupies one-third of a work ing day on the trip. Putting the value of the time thus lost in the busy farm ing season at 50 cents a head, tho to tal loss would run up to many mil lion dollars. It has been found Gen erally that while congress Is reluctnnt to authorize some postal expenditures, the popularity of rural free doltvnrv among farmers Is such as to make probable a further Increase In the ap propriation next year. THE SCREW PROPELLER. Has Reduced Atlantic Voyage from Twonty to Six Nights. Tho screw propeller Is very simple In principle nnd construction, and yet' It Is so effective that no substitute for It Is likely to be found for many a de cade to come. In operation it is tho windmill reversed. The propeller con sists of a shnft projecting from the stern of the ship and terminating In a set of blades, usually three or four In number, all placed at the same angle. The shafts are revolved by means of the ship's engines, and tho resistance developed by tho propeller blades re volving In tho water drives tho vessel forward. If a ship were firmly fastened so that she could not move forward nnd the engines were kept In motion, tho movement of the propellers would de velop a powerful current In the water astern. Where It 1b a question of tho relative resistance of tho ship's bulk and the water, that of the water Is nl ways gt eater, and owing to tho fact that tho power Is applied directly at the stern thero Is less loss of energy than In the case of side wheels. Es pecially Is thl true In ocean naviga tion, where tho rolling of tho vend from side to side often caused tho old-fashioned wheels to lose their grip of tho water. The adoption of the screw pro peller immediately reduced the tlmo of an Atlantic voyage from twenty days to about fourteen days. In comparison with tho size of tho great ocean steamer, tho dimensions ot tho propellers which drive her through the water nt tho rate of twenty-five miles or more per hour seem hopelessly inadequate. For Instance, If ono stands beneath such a ship when she lies In dry dock and looks up at her great height, and along her hun dreds at feet of length, It seems Im possible that tho propellers can fulfill their task. Ab a. matter of fact, 'how ever, their efficiency depends upon tho Exchange. SITUATIONS WANTED YOUNG MAN''VOM!?rTnl70BI)UllXn light drlhcry natont tan furnish noml ref erence. Address O. II.
