COUGHED UP PART OF PIN.
Curiou--, Case of little Andrew 1,0
imtko Is Revived.
About eighteen months ago Andrew
Lopatko, 11 little f.ourteen-months-old
Hungarian child, residing on tho I3ast
Side, at Jermyn, swallowed a
shawl pin, which lodged in his
throat nil dolled all elforts to
remove it. Tho etiso attracted
considerable attention in the news
papers at tho time ami among the
medical men,
Tho child was taken to the
l.iicknw.inna. hospital, wheie he ie
maiiu'd for seven weeks, and during
tho time underwent several examina
tions and a very critical operation, but
tho surgeons w;ro unable to remove
the pin. Yesterday morning the little
follow had a seveio coughing spell and
brought up about an inch and it quar
ter of tho pin. which included tho largo
bead at the end of the pin. Tho par
ents will tuko tho child again to tho
hospital today, wheic possibly another
effort will b made to find tho missing
portion ot the pin.

THE AUDITING COMMITTEE.
Possibilities of Its Being Continued
Are Very Slim.
II councils fall to pass, within a iea
Humble length of time, tho otdlnnnoo
Intiodiicod on Tuesday night pi escrib
ing it method for tho ill awing, Issuing
and signing nf elty warrants, Hecordcr
Molr will (alto upon himself this duly.
Several of the members or the com
mon council mid after the meeting
on Tuesday night that Ihey thought
11 llfjht might bo made on the nrdU
nance, because It does away with tho
auditing oommlMeo and makes appro
val by simply tho head of a depart
ment, the recorder and the controller
alt that Is necessary for tho payment
of a bill.
"If that odlnnncc doesn't pass," said
a prominent city olllclal yesterday,
"and If tin- councllmeu think that by
ionising to pass It they can keep tho
auditing committee In existence, they
arc mistaken. There will be nothing
lor the auditing committee to do.
"The heads of tha departments will
be Insti noted not to send any bills lo
the city clerk's olllce for tho Inspection
of an auditing committee, but will bo
InsttUPled lo ttansnilt thcin to the re
corder as soon as approved by thorn.
There Is no peg whatever on which any
fight lor the retention ot the auditing
coinmltteo can bt bun?.
"In the (list place there, net or was
nny thlld class elty aol which pro
vided for such a commit tee. The act
provided Hint councils should pass nil
bills. This got to bo too laborious a
pioceedlng In this city when tho popu
lation got over "il.OOil. and nn auditing
committee was provided for by an or
dinance passed by councils to relievo
them of Hie work.
"No one ever thought of testing the
legality of that ordinance, but If they
had It could have been easily declated
mill and void, as it was not In con
formance with the piovlslons of tho
act of assembly. It is absolutely

BOYS HAVE A GRIEVANCE
"lis Not Much of a One ns Yet, 'Tis
True, but It May Grow With
in a Gencraation.
Another strike is Impending!
The Postal Telegraph company's
messenger boys ate aggrieved and
their leaders insist on having a strike.
When the strike is to be Inaugurated
is not yet definitely known, even to
the stiikers-to-bc. It's Roing to be
some day pretty soon, however.
Tho dischaige of Matty Moonoy, the
bead of the messenger boys' union, is
responsible for tho imminent bother.
The company's side of the question has
not been disclosed, but nccotdlnR to
the statement of the boys' grievance!
committee tlieie Is no company's side
to It.
It is simply one of those outrages
peiiodically petpelrated by eorpoia
tlous to Imptcst their employes with
the fact that coipoiations have no
souls.
The souless petpetration in this in
stance was something like this. If the
aforesaid grievance committee is to be
fully credited:
"Kver since Matty got to bo our
leader In tho union, he's been gottin'
the gaff fioni the boss, and, tho other
day, when be was just walking around
he was told by Miss Do Long, tho
clerk, to go to the bench. When he
went and sot down, tho other fel
lows got tn pushin' and bo was pushed
off, and. then, when Miss Do Long
saw him otf the bench, she said,
'Didn't 1 tell you to go to the bench'."
and then, when he said back that he
did go to the bench and If anybody
wanted him to sit on the bench they'd
have to make people stop pushin', then
she told him to give up tho shield."
The committee f minor voluntceied
some inside iufoimatkm to the effect
that half of the boys were i early to
stiike, but the other half wore (('fus
ing to Join with them, because, thoy
foaled they would not be taken hack
when the strike is over.
Just what is to be accomplished by
the strike is not very clear fioni the
boys' explanation, Their demand was
to be the reinstatement of Mnoney,
hut Moonoy, it seems, has secured ,1
better job and reluses to be rein
stated. This robbed tho would-be
strikers of their purpose, but they are
thinking lout another one. and ex
pect to have it all thought out by tho
time the strike is under way.
Another misfortune has come tn the
messongeis, In tho shape of dissen
sions in tho Newboy's union, on which
they wero relying for no small amount
of support. Some of the newsboys aio
alleging that .Timmie Duffy, the presi
dent of the union, was "plugging" for
tho Win Id." and that that accounts
for the embargo against the Journal.
President Duffy, of emu so, denies this
and threatens a suit of slander against
his detractors if they will make their
accusation before witnesses.
Tho messenger boys think the news
boys' troubles will bo settled before
tho messenger strike Is ordered. Care
ful calculations, based on tho average
speed of a messenger boy, warrant tlie
exp.'ctation thnt tho strike will tako
placo In this or tha next generation.
At all events, thoy do not propose
making undue hast" In piojectlng such
an important thing as a strike.

HEARD AMONG
THE BOWLERS
LATEST GOSSIP OF DOINGS ON
LOCAL ALLEYS.
Tomonow Night. Will Mark the
Close of the Northeastern Penn
sylvania League's Tournament,
Although Theie Ate Still Three
Postponed Games to Be Bowled.
How the Men Have Been Rolling.
Possibility of tho League Next
Season Work of Bicycle Club.
In no bowling league tournament
ever played In this city has a team
done such splendidly consistent, steady
work as tho Bicycle club's reptesenta
tlvcs In thi' tournament which Is now
In progress, A tecord of twenty-two
games won out of twenty-seven played
Is a. splendid one, and the resultant
percentage of .Sl." is a standing which
ovory member of the team can well be
proud of.
Tomorrow night tho club will com
plete the aeasott with the Backus club
on tho hitter's alleys, nnd the Black
Diamonds will close their schedule by
meeting the West End Wheelmen at
tho Bicycle club. There are three post
poned games yet to be played, however,
In which the Elks, West End team and
the Backus team nnd Iho West Kuders
No. 2 will all participate.
These matches are not likely to make
any material change In the league
standing, however, so the Bicycle club
team is sure of first place in tiny event.
Evety man on this team has? rolled In
first-class form all season, and ot pres
ent Charles Mooie leads In averages
with something over 170. The Bicycle
club men have demonstiated them
selves to be a team that works
together well and plas for every pin
possible. Scranton can be proud of its
league ehampions.nnd pit them against
any of (ho metropolitan teams with
little fear.
Thus far In the league race Captain
Billy Hopkins, of the Backus team,
leads in the nverage bowling. While
the llgutes have not been computed as
yet, an oppioxlmotc estimate shows
that Hopkins Is the only player who
has participated in every match his
team has i oiled and maintained a
steady average of about 170. Moore,
the Bicycle club leader, has been out
of a number of his team's matches.
Hopkins rarely sprains himself with a.
spectacular double century game, but
he keeps right on getting his spares,
and that's what, counts In the long run.
Iloper, of the Bicycle club, and
Charles Weichel, of tho Elks, arc tied
for tho league's high score, with the
very respectable game of -2." apiece.
Wolchel's -01 and a fraction, against
the West End team, Is the star achieve
ment for any man in three games.
,i
Ptomisiug bowlers ore as plenty as
the daisies of the Held at the Green
Ridge Wheelmen's now alleys, and each
week brings foith some new tenpln
artist who evidences that he has In
him the spirit of a Starr or Brill.
Moore, a swift left-hander, and Nlcol
are among the hard-bowling youths
who are counted upon by the club
members as components of next sea
son's team. It is practically certain
that a team will represent tho Green
Bidgers in an entirely club' league.
The Tin Can bowling team, organ
ized at the Bicycle club, has had the
hardihood to challenge the llrst team,
and while at first sight a. match looks
about as equal as tho participants in
the famous David and finllath contest
did, there are those in the club who
hopefully predict the same sort of out
tome as that ot the above-mentioned
biblical combat. Captain Edward
Pryor can do a few stunts in tho
bowling line himself, and in Sivelly,
Pryor, Fuller and Reynolds he has a
quartette of last youngsters to toll
Willi. A match between the Black
Diamonds and Tin Cans would, how
ever, seem to be more even.
h in
lu case of an nil-club league next
year, which would mean the freezing
out of the Backus and Elk clubs, there
is a, possibility that another league
would be formed. In which these two
crowded-out aggregations of bowlers
would bo members, and teams from
Laubscher's South Scranton alleys and
John Blatter's place fill in a quartette.
Or, if necessary, two teams could
easily be put forth from both the Elk
and Backus alleys, and thus a sextette
of last bowling lives be formed, which
would give the city some excellent ex
hibitions of tho good old game. Tn tho
club league the Bicycle club and
Wllkes-Barro West Enders would each
have two tPiims, the Green Hidgers one
and possibly another club allowed Into
Hie circuit.

Prohibitionists: The cause wo topic

good people, Oh, for a reviving wave
of Intelligent moral enthusiasm that
may sweep our land and other lands;
t lint good people may ailse in their
might and show themselves worthy
possessors of opportunities never yet
equaled by any generation!
That time must come and will come.
It Is our duty to stand manfully, com

the soul. Let us get together In coun
