C. E. Baker, of the Champion
Ladies' Ba'se Ball Club of the World,
is in town making arrangements for
the first appearance of the Western
Bloomer Girls In Honesdale which
wll bo on Saturday, Juno 28. Gen
eral Agent Baker states that in
Introducing this club of high-class
lady players to the public in general
he wishes it to be understood that
they do not travel with tho intontlon
of drawing crowds just through the
novelty of ladies playing ball, but
really draw tho people through their
ability to play a wonderfully inter
esting, exciting and scientific game
of ball, and when taken in considera
tion that tho Bloomer Girls are com
posed of young ladies, the games
they play aro all the more remark
able. Kate Becker is the star lady
pitcher of tho world, and is support
ed by a team composed of tho very
best players that money can hire,
who in themselves are each a star
player, making the strongest organi
zation of Its kind ever organized.
Thero has been other lady base ball
clubs, but they have come and they
have gone. Their life upon the
green diamond was ono of short dur
ation. They came and tried to out
rival all other competitors, but like
the present slang phrase, they had
to "go away back and sit down,"
leaving tho original Bloomer Girls to
stand In all their greatness In the
very front rank, where they will
stand season after season as the only
real champion ladles' base ball club
of the world. This wonderful club
of lady base ball players aro now
enroute on their regular annual tour.

TWO HOMES DESTROYED.
Fire Consumes Properties of Mrs.
Spencer niid Sirs. IJush Women
Hnvo Narrow Escnpe.
The homes of Mrs. Cornelia Bush
and Mrs. Grace Spencer, on the Beth
any road, near Pleasant Mount, were
destroyed by a flre that started short
ly after 7 o'clock last Thursday
morning in the Bush house. Mrs,
Bush, who is eighty years old, and
ono of Wayne county s oldest rest
dents, had a narrow escape from
cremation, escaping in her night
clothes after she had received sever
al slight burns on her head and
hands. All the contents of the Bush
house were destroyed, hundreds of
dollars worth of furnlturo and many
family heirlooms being lost. Neigh
bors summoned by telephone from
all over tho countryside saved all
tho contents of the Spencer house,
but could not stay the progress of
the flames that burned tho building
to its foundation walls.
The fire had its origin in an over
heated oil stove. Mrs. Bush, who
lives alone, had arisen early in the
morning, lighted the oil stove to
warm up the house and then gone
back to bed. At 7 o'clock she was
awakened by tho smell of smoke and
the crackling of flames that already
made big headway on the lower floor
of the house. The aged woman ran
through the flames to the roadway,
her hair was singed and she receiv
ed several burns, but escaped with
out serious injury.
Two men on their way to work
saw the fire and called all the near
by houses on the telephone. Scores
of men ran to tho building houses
and formed a line to save the con
tents of tho Spencer home, which by
that time had started to burn. Mrs.
Spencer and her sister, Mrs. Emily
Mumford, who resided with her had
plenty of time to get out of the
burning building.
Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Mumford
havo moved into the Osman Wright
homestead in Pleasant Mount, nnd
Mrs. Bush is at tho homo of Frank
Spencer across tho road from the
burned building. Mrs. Spencer's son,
a Carbondale dentist, and Mrs. Lake,
01 uingnamton, a niece of Mrs. Bush,
are there seeing that the aged wom-i
en aro well taken caro of.
