lowed his head on his desk, when the
thoughts which awake had refused to
arise came in troops that were strong
and grotesque. And, as the ideas airily
float, he selects the bright one of the tribe;
and this is the gem which while dream
ing he wrote : "Now is the time to sub

The collieries of Coxe Bros, were all
idle, while those of Upper Lehigh,
Sandy Run, Highland and Jeddo were
working. The object of the law was to
enable the workingmen of the State to
have a day of rest, but no provision is
made to compel employers to have their
factories, workshops or mines closed.
The enforcing of the provisions of the
law is left with the workingmen them
selves, and for a time, at least, they
must be content to allow it to take its
own course.

CUBAN GIANTS DEFEAT FREELAND.
Fully eighteen hundred people wit
nessed tho game at the Freeland park
on Sunday afternoon between the Cuban
Giants, of York, and the home team.
A larger crowd never gathered on any
similar occurrence in Freeland and all
were bent on seeing a good game. Their
expectations were fully realized for it
was the best exhibition of ball playing
that was ever given in Freeland, both
clubs doing very effective work at the
bat and on the field. It was shortly af
ter three o'clock when Umpire McNelis
called the game and the enthusiasm
among the spectators was duly com
menced which lasted until the end of
the contest. Knowing the exceptionally
fine record of the visitors, a few of those
present predicted a shut-out for the home
team. This, however, did not occur as
the Freeland boys were not in a mood
on Sunday to be shut out and by
their excellent batting succeeded in scor
ing two runs. Welch pitched a splendid
game and was far more effective than
his opponent, who was batted pretty
iianl at times. The visitors put up a
first-class game and by their heavy bat
ting and clever coaching managed to
score eight runs. The principal batting
of the game was done by Mulvey and
O'Hara of the home team-
THE GIANTS AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
While the Cuban Giants were in town
on Sunday, Daniel Coxe, the manager of
the Drifton club, secured an engagement
with Manager Krciter of the visitors to
play at the latter place on Tuesday. The
game came off at the regular time and
was also witnessed by a large crowd. It
was very interesting from beginning to
end. The game opened with the Drifton
club at the bat ; who scored 2 runs before
they were retired. The visitors were
ifext at bat and by a few safe hits and
a couple of errors by the home players
scored 3 runs. Both clubs failed to score
until the seventh inning, when the
Giants took a spurt and before the inning
was out placed 4 more rnns to their
credit. Drifton scored another run in
the eighth inning as did also the visitors.
Drifton failed to score in the ninth
inning and the game was consequently
awarded to the Giants.
The following is the official score :

On a Lute Found In a Sarcophagus.
What curled and Bccntcd sun-girls, almond
eyed.
What lotus blossoms in tliolr hands and
hair,
Have inado their swurly lovers call them
fair.
With these spent strings, when brutes were
deified.
And Memnon In the sunrise sprang and cried,
And love-winds smote Ilubastls, and tho
bare
Black breasts of carven Pusht received the
prayer
Of suppliants bearing from far and wldel
This lute has outstrung Egypt; all the lives
Of violent passion, umi the vast calm art
That lasts In granite only, all lie dead;
Thiß little bird of song alone survivos,
As fresh as when Its fluting smote the heart
Last time the brown slave wore It gar
landed.

Correspondence From the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1890.
Between the visitors in the galleries,
the grog in the restaurant and gambling
in the committee rooms, the Capitol is
about as well stocked with the ordin
ary every-day vices as could be desired
by the most exacting. The seductive
game of poker is not only breaking a
quorum in the House two or three times
a week, but, if reports are true, is
"breaking" some members also. These
games in the committee rooms are played
nearly every day, it is said, and before
going into one of them members draw
four, five or six hundred dollars from
the sergeant-at-arms. The curious fea
ture of it is that what many members
take out of one safe is replaced by a cor
responding amount left by another mem
ber in another safe in a big envelope,
which has now grown to great proportions.
The possessor of the envelope iB a popular
man from the West, who is said to be the
most amiable man and the best poker
player in tho House. The other parties to
the game do not keep an envelope.
Unless the enemies of the Louisiana
Lottery Company bring a tremendous
amount of pressure to bear on Congress,
it doesn't look as if that concern had
much cause for alarm about hostile legis
lation during this session. While the
House had plenty of time at its disposal
in which to discuss anil pass tho antl
lottcry bill, it seems hardly possible that
the Senate will allow adjournment to be
delayed by taking up the measure. Un
der the plan of prolonged discussion of
the Tariff bill, that measure is not at all
likely to be disposed of before the mid
dle of September at the earliest. Some
of those who are urging the passage of
the anti-lottery bill say that measure
could be brought in even if the Quay
resolution were adopted by the Senate,
but others argue that even if this were
so the Senate will be In no temper to
take up the Lottery bill after the ex
haustive discussion on the Tariff, ft,

Weekly Coul Report.
The Anthracite coal trade is improv
ing. There is noted a better inquiry for
coal, and the demand for the domesic
sizes is increasing. While there iB no
special activity in the movement of coal
at present the outlook for increased
trade in the near future is encouraging,
and the anthracite shippers and ope
rators are accordingly happy. The rep
resentatives of the leading producing
and carrying interests met at New York
on last Friday and agreed to advance the
circular prices for anthracite or tide
water shipment 15 cents per ton for egg
and stove sizes and ten cents for chestnut,
to take effect on Monday. It was also
agreed to restrict the output of coal in
September to 3,250,000 tons. While.the
circular prices for the line and city trade
were not advanced, it is understood that
there will be a closer adherence in the
actual selling prices to the last circular
figures. This means that the dealers
will be asked and expected to pay about
10 to 15 cents per ton more for coal in
September than they have been obtain
ing it for the past month or two.
The Eastern trade is reported quiet,
and now orders for coal from that quar
ter are not numerous. The Western
trade is also improving, and there is a
better inquiry for some sizes of coal from
the lake distributing ports. The Chi
cago Coal Exchange lias advanced prices
j 50 cents per ton, taking effect Monday.
Should there be much increased demand
i from the West for anthracite shippers
will probably find some difficulty in ob
taining cars promptly to forward their
coal.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
August 23, as reported by the Beveral
carrying companies, was 703,167 tons,
compared with 793,703 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
90,536 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 21,114,538 tons compared with 21,535,-
263 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 420,725 tons. — Ledtjer.
