About twelve years ago, we purchased a "Home Comfort Range" from one of the "Wrought Iron Range" Company's Salesmen. Pour years ago, our house burned down, and of course we thought our range was ruined. But, when the fire had died down, we got the range out of the debris, ami fount, the liody of the range to be perfect, not warped or ciacked. Of course some of the fixtures were broken off, knobs etc.. but think ing that we could not do without a "Home Comfort Kange" we sent it to the factory, and to our surprise they sent it back as good as new without a cent of charge excepting the freight.

Sporting Nules On Friday the Butler Club got the best of it with the Washington. Pa . club by a score of 11 to 7, and Saturday again by a score of 16 to 18. <>n Monday they defeated the Pitts burg Reserves—score 2 to 0. There were several ball games throughout the county on Saturday. Evans City defeated Mars ti to 0. Wad dell and Whitehill were the pitchers. The Glass Works team defeated Mil lerstown 18 to 17. Last Friday the Springdale Jrs. defeated the Mars Jrs. at Mars 22 to 15. Monday s was the fourth game this season in which Hodgkinson. the local pitcher, shut the other fellows out. The hits recorded against him in those games ranged 0, 2. 8, 3. Besides he gave very few ltases on halls. The whitewashed clubs were Wilmerding, Conneaut Lake. Evans City and Ma son's Pittsburgh. That is certainly good pitching. The Butler club played at Washing ton. Pa., yesterday and today. Turn Outs.
