occurrence.
The Dayton (O.) Journal said: "Tho

and to say that It was as good as one
year ago Is giving It well merited
praise, but tho truth of the matter Is
that It was better than last year, and
those who attended cither performance
were highly entertained.
"Tho tent wus filled at each perform

AN AUSPICIOUS OPENING
Scranton Opened the League by De
feating Williamsport Team at
the Park, Saturday.
Scranton has experienced a revival
of the base ball fever and the game Is
on In earnest In this city. If any one
doubts this assertion, they should con
sult any one of the twenty-five hun
dred or more rooters who assembled
on the gronds Saturday afternoon und
cheered Manager Al. Luwson's ponies
to victory.
Despite the rawness of tho day, and
the threatening clouds, the season was
very auspiciously opened, and the game
was well played, although the grounds
were not In the best of condition, and
one or two of the players have not yet
rounded Into playing form. There was
sufficient ginger and snappy playing
on both sides to indicate that the Penn
sylvania State league is not slow.
Manager Lawson has corralled a
lively lot of youngsters In his team.
The day was anything but an Ideal one
for base ball, but the game was suf
ficiently Interesting to keep the spec
tators In good humor throughout. The
contest was In doubt until the Inst
man was retired.
Both the backstops, Stelnburg and
Ralney, were given an opportunity to
show their worth, and they were equal
to the best. Pitcher Wiltze has tho
earmarks of a comer, and showed good
judgment, pitching an excellent game,
and pulling out of some tight places.
The infield with more practice to
gether, will undoubtedly compare
favorably with any in the league. The
outfield is very fast.
Previous to tho game both teams,
headed by the Lawrence band, paraded
the streets, and when the grounds were
reached there was a large crowd oa
hand to welcome them. The park has
undergone a number of improvements
and is now in first-class shape. Fences
have been erected' on both sides of the
grandstand, leading out Into the field,
and new bleachers have been erected
back of first base.
The game started at 3.15 o'clock, and
the band played after each inning. All
of Scranton's runs were made in the
first inning, but none of them were
earned. Williamsport scored one ach
in the fourth and fifth Innings, and
neither side tallied afterwards. Both
center fielders made some pretty run
ning catches, and Croughan's running
catch of a lino drive was a feature.
Tho hitting was light on both sides,
Blakely, Schmaltz, Sasse and Gross
leading with doubles and a. triple.
Wiltze pitched the better game, al
though one more hit was made off his
delivery than off Bell. Ferris, the
local player, played a few innings, and
showed that ho can hold his own with
any of them, both at the bat and in
the field.
Williamsport has excellent players in
Templln, Schultz, Ilartman, Sasso and
Croughan. The game was umpired by
Al. Blandln, the old Y. M. C. A. third
baseman, and his decisions on tho
whole were satisfactory. Following is

TO DECIDE ON
WEDNESDAY
MINE WORKERS' OFFICIALS TO
GATHER IN THIS CITY.
Not Having Been Able to Secure
from the Operators Any of tho
Concessions Asked for at the
Shamokin Convention Representa
tives of the Three Districts Will
Meet Here with President Mitchell
to Say Whether or Not a Strike
Order Shall Be Issued.
District President T, D. Nichols, of
tho United Mine Workers returned
Saturday night lrom tho New York
conferences with coal operators. I.Ike
all others who attended the conference
he was not Inclined to talk at any con
siderable length on what wns done. On
only two things he would permit him
self to be quoted. One was that the
heads of the coal companies accorded
tho miners' representatives a full and
pntlent hearing and the other, that
nothing wus accomplished save that
they were told that they could come
ngaln at any time and be heard, with
out any stipulations being made as to
the capacity in which they might come.
As to whether or not the miners'
consider this lntter as the gain of an
important point, Mr. Nichols was
silent. It Is likely however that It is
considered 'important, for It Is only
logical that If the president of a coal
company Is willing to hear from his
employees through the officers ot their
union, the local superintendents can
not with becoming grnces refuse to do
the same thing. It was stated, during
the time the conferences were on, and
since verified that one of the coal men
at the conference expressed surprise In
hearing that one of his district super
intendents had refused to grant un
audience to Mr. Nichols, when the lat
ter approached him with a velw of
adjusting some grievance. ,
CANNOT EVEN GUESS.
It would seem from the best In
formation obtainable that no one can
give even a guess as to what will be the
result of the convention of district of
ficers called by President Mitchell for
this city, Wednesday next. There are
eleven district officers in the First dis
trict and as many more In each of the
other two districts. Only 25 ot these
were in New York. The sentiment of
these twenty-five was not formally
canvassed, and thero Is no one with
any definite Idea of how the eight ab
sentees stand. When all come together,
President Mitchell will report the re
sults, or rather lack of results, of the
conferences and submit to them the
question of what they propose to do
about it. Under the action of the
Shamokin convention the district of
ficers have full power to declare a
strike or adopt whatever measures
seem to them best suited to meet the
emergency.
Leaving aside the privilege perman
ently accorded them of having a hear
ing before the heads of tho coal com
panies, tho mine worker's representa
tives never at any time during the con
ference were given any encouragement
that tho operators would grant a single
one of tho concessions except that of
weighing coal.
They were told that the eight-hour
day was an impossibility, because it
meant a twenty-three per cent, increase
in wages, with nn equal per cent, de
crease In the earning capacity of the
collieries, and this contention was per
sisted in despite statistics produced by
the miners showing that last year tho
mines of the whole region averaged
only I94', days of work, and that re
cently the average for a year was six
hours a day.
WEIGHING COAL,.
The question of weighing coal where
it was practicable was not definitely de
cided by the operators until Saturday;
that is, thero was a possibility when
the conference ended Friday that the
operators might grant this concession.
They said when it was brought up they
were not acquainted enough with it to
say they would not have their admin
istrative officers adopt it in place of the
present method. That, however, was all
that was heard of it.
Tho matter of a minimum scale of day
wages and a minimum price per ton for
mlneis was not very deeply delved
Into. The declaration of the operators
at tho outset that they were not pre
pared to enter into any agreement with
tho union blocked consideration of these
details. Matters liko these, it is quite
certain, could have been compromised,
but there was no occasion for attempt
ing to compromise them, as they would
bo tantamount to an agreement and tho
operators were steadfast in their dec
laration that they were not prepared to
make an agreement.
When tho conferences ndjourned it
was as good as certain in the minds of
the miners' representatives that they'
had accomplished nothing In the way of
securing any of tho concessions de
manded by tho Shsmipkln convention.
Saturday, President Mitchell received
from the operntois a pimple message
to the effect that "We cannot do any
thing." STATEMENT GIVEN OUT.
It was then decided to give out the
statement made public by President
Mitchell, Saturday night, declaring that
tho conferences were devoid of results
and that the question of declaring a
strike would be passed upon by a con
vention of district ofltccrs In Scranton
Wednesday.
President NIcholls und most of the
other district officers returned homo
Saturday. President Mitchell remained
In New York and will not come to
Scranton, It is believed, until tomorrow.

The convenience a bank will be to the
people of South Scranton, coupled with
tho fuct that tlie West Side and North
End banks have been so successful, led
to the establishment of this new Insti
tution. Tho avidity with which the
stock was subscribed auurs well for
success. The South Side business men
were willing to take all the stock them
selves. The promoters of the bank,
however, thought It better to have some
of the central city business men, par
ticularly those associated with tho
larger banks, Identified with the new
concern, and, accordingly, half the stock
was sold In the central city. The direc
torate will be composed mainly of South
Scranton men.
This will make Scranton's thirteenth
bank.
TO ENLARGE BUILDING.
Congressman Connell Working for a
3100,000 Appropriation Urgent
Necessity for More Room.
A bill has been introduced by Sena
tor Penrose, as an amendment to the
public buildings and grounds bill, to
appioprlatc $100,000 for the enlargement
of the federal building in this city.
It is proposed to have an addition ot
.12 feet put to the rear of the building.
The addition will probably be of the
same width, height!, and style as the
present structure.
Letters from Postmaster Hippie,
Judge Archbald and Collector Pen
man, setting forth the need of more
space for their respective departments,
have been forwarded to Congressman
Council, to be ,used in his argument be
fore tho committee that will deal with
the Itpm.
The most Interesting feature of these
letters Is a statistical statement, by
Postmaster Ripple, showing tho
growth of postofiice business In Scran
ton since 1S9I, the year the federal
building was first occupied. Postal
business increased 90.7 per cent.; money
order business, 200 per cent.; registry
business, 57 per cent.; special delivery,
143 per cent.; amount of money han
dled, 196 per cent. In this same period
the carrier force has been Increased by
2S and the clerical force by 12. '
It Is confidently expecid that the
appropriation will bo allowed. The su
pervising architect's office will have
charge of the work.
NON-UNION CIGARS.
Any Member of a Labor Union
Caught Smoking Them Is to
Be Fined $5.
The Central Labor union, at its regu
lar meeting held yesterday afternoon,
decided to impose a lino of $3 upon any
member of any labor union affiliated
with It who is "found guilty" of smok
ing a non-union cigar. The resolution
providing for this fine declared that
"tho number of non-union clsais
smoked in this union town is a dis
grace." A committee was appointed to wait
on the promoters of tho rapid transit
railroad and renuest thut the Phila
delphia firm, which has just started
work on the tunnel from the southerly
end of the city to tho site of the old
north mill, employ only union rockmen.
The action of tho carpenters' local
union In deciding to refuse to handle
any mill work, such ns doors, shutters,
etc., which do not bear the union label
was endorsed.
A communication wns received from
the stage hands' union announcing that
no member of the union will be allowed
to work at the new Dixie theatre. The
action of tho union In decldlns upon
this course was approved.
Somfi time ago the musicians' union
was dropped from tho central body be
cause certain of the members rode on
the street cars during the. recent strike.
The union wants to get back, and at
yesterday's meeting it was decided to
send for District Organizer Nachman,
who will endeavor to bring about a
settlement of the difficulty.
OUTFITS MUCH CHEAPER.
Policemen Not Paying as Much This
Year as Formerly.
The members of tho local police
force havo each saved this year a
very considerable amount on the pur
chase price of their outfits, as com
pared with previous years, and credit
tor this Is largely due to tho efforts of
Superintendent Day.
Tho summer sack coat fatigue suItP,
for which tho men havo In years past
paid $21 for, have been purchased this
years for $17. The white helmets,
which formerly cost $2.C0, have been
secured for $1.75 each, and rubber
coats, for which anywhere from $4.60
to $0 was formerly paid, have been
purchased for $3. GO.

NECESSITY OP
BEINGON TIME
FIRST OF SERIES OF SERMONS
ON THE "FOUR ONS."
Rev. Dr. C. M, Glffln Bitterly De
nounced the Laggards and tho
Listless Folks in a Telling Sermon
Delivered Before a Large Congre
gation in the Elm Park Methodist
Episcopal Church Last Night.
Some people, He Said, Have About
as Much Stability as Jelly.
Rev. Dr. C. M. Glflln, pastor of tho
Elm Pnrk Methodist Episcopal church,
began last night the first of a series
of sermons on what he calls tho "Four
Ons." His topic last night was "On
Time" nnd the Inggards and weak
willed people generally came In for
sharp denunciation. The sermon to be
delivered next Sunday night will be on
the theme "On Your Feet."
The doctor chose for his text last
night It Samuel 20:5; "So Amusa went
to assemble the men of Judith; but ho
tan led longer than the set time which
he hnd appointed him." He spoke In
part as follows:
"Amasa Is a splendid sample of the
loiterer who never takes a note of
time and who manages to put every
well ordered plan out of order. If the
procession Is to move at 2 o'clock ho
and otheis of his kind fus around and
fool about until they manage to delay
It for at least an hour. They never
heed or hear the clock ticks. The race
of Amasa has not run out. There are
a few left in the world. They are to
be 'found on every side. Brother Slow
Is In the church and out of the church
.and wherever he Is he Is both making
and suffering a loss.
"What Is the reason for this, tardi
ness? Its the result of a drag In the
rhythm ot the afflicted person's being.
It is a congenital defect and no cure
but a constitutional one will make the
laggard hasten. He must be regener
ated. He must be born again.
EFFECTS OF HABIT.
"It Is the result often of the slowing
effects of habits. It Is a motive that
Impels men to do things and It is my
wish to try and instill the definite pur
pose of being always on time into some
of outv young men and some of our
young women. It means more than I
can tell you to be on tlnio and to bo
always reckoned among those present.
Young men frequently get into tho
way -of dllly dallying until slowness
and inaction becomes part of the very
grain of their being.
"Tho laggard is self-centeied and
self-conscious and becomes before long
a sublime egotist. He forgets entirely
the Injustice he does his friends by
reason of his laxity and becomes oblivi
ous of all else but his own inteie&ts.
"Taidlncss is often, too, the result of
weakness. Do you know there aic
some people in this world who remind
me of nothing so much as the dessert
jelly we sometimes have on our table.
It looks all right when Its turned out
of the mould but soon a crack appears
in It, and It flattens out Into a shape
less mass.
"Theie are people in this world who
are just about as flabby ns that
jelly and If It were possible to analyze
their real substance I'm sure you'd
find that the basic elements would be
pretty soft stuff. These people seem
lo bo happy despite their weukness.
They seem to have been boin with a
chuckle and they keep It up through
life. Once In a while they wake up
but the soon drop back into dullness
again and when they go to their final
sleep they go to one but little deeper
than the one they've been enjoying all
through life.
FOLLY OF TARDINESS.
"Did you ever consider the folly of
tnrdlnessV It's contrary to the method

THREW A LIGHTED LAMP.
John Wilson Hurled It at His Wife,
but It Missed Her and Set the
House on Tire.
John Wilson, of Itlver Htteet, threw a
lighted lamp at 1i!h wife on Saturday
night, ami It was only by the merest
chunco that Pho did not receive aetioiiH
injury. Ah It was, tho house was set on
(he, necessitating tho calling out of tho
firemen, as well aa the police.
The couple hud been drinking nil Sat
urday afternoon and when night came
both were In a quarrelsome mood, Hot
words passed between the two nnd
their llttlo child became so f tightened
that she ran from the house, sci earning
for help. An Instant later "Wilson picked
up a lighted lamp from the table and
threw It full tit his wife, It missed her
head by about an Inch and clashing
ngulnst tho wall sent blazing oil flying
In all directions.
The carpet wa8 ablaze In a moment,
and "Wilson, sobered for the nonce, made
a desperate effott to quench the llames
und in doing so binned one of his hands
und the side or his face in a frightful
manner, An alarm was turned In Horn
nox 41 by some of the nelghbom aud
the blaze wus extinguished by the lire
men before any dumage of any conse
quence was done.
Wilson and his wife weie locked un
by a squad of policemen and were yes
terday morning committed to the county
Jail in default of a line of S20 imposed
on each by Magistrate Howe.
