Office, Birkbeck Brick, 3d floor, Centre Street. Entered, at the Freeland Postofflce as Second Class Matter. FREELAND, PA., AUCUST 6, 1891. The Appeal Should He Heard. An earnest appeal has been issued for the "Home of the Good Shepherd," Scrantom The Home is an institution recently established and is in great need of funds to enlarge its opportunities for carrying forward the merciful work in which it is engaged. The creatures who are subjects of its special care appeal most eloquently, through their helpless ness and pitiful condition, to the hearts of the charitable. The institution is non-sectarian. The most sorrowful sin ner is the most eligible candidate for ad mission within its portals. Its friendly doors are open to those who are spurned at all other doors, and within its walls there is hope for the stricken, and the promise of a new life even for those who have died the moral death, and forfeit the friendship of natural friends and protectors. A number of charitably dis posed persons have already responded to the appeal, but their offerings are only "a drop in the bucket." A great deal of money is needed to enable those in charge of the Home to care for the many unfortunates entrusted to their care. It is to be hoped that Luzerne County will not be behind in lending a helping hand to so worthy a cause. Con tributions can be sent to Rev. James O'Reilly, Cathedral Scranton. Bishop O'Hara contributed SSOO yesterday.— Newsdealer. ICapine—Old Style and New. In the olden time, when might had a mind to lord it over right, it took its good claymore in hand and went out in search of adyentures. It slew its weaker adversary, appropriated to itself his lands, and cattle and kine, and came home in triumph, bringing stores of Bpoil and attended by knights in armor and slaves in chains. Then it gave itself a title and founded a dynasty, and got poets to sing its praises and fools to make it merry, and historians to write down genius and prowess for mere brute force and cunning, thieving craft and cruel pillage. Modern rapacity is more in genious and less manly. The older ruffianism at least took its life in its hand and gave its enemy a chance. Its de generate scion finds safer and surer means of achieving its desires. It or ganizes a corporation. It gets a charter. It hires a lobby. It leases an organ. It buys a Legislature. And, there you are! Millions to a few, misery to all others; with the law to sustain the proceeding, and, if need be, —just as in the days of yore—troops to enforce it!— Louisville Journal. The State Must Answer. In portions of the coal, coke and iron regions of Pennsylvania the number of unemployed workingmen with destitute families may be counted by thousands. In this condition it might readily be imagined that there is no real want of willing labor in those regions; hut this would be a great mistake. In the de mand for labor the unemployed men who are on the spot and ready to work are hardly taken into the account. The great corporations continue to make requsitions upon the newly-imported im migrants, and the ranks of an unem ployed "proletariat" are constantly grow ing in the coal and iron districts of this State. This is a social and economiael problem which becomes more difficult of satisfactory solution as the years ad vance. The State, which lias created the great coal companies, finds itself powerless to bring to bear upon these corporations such a pressure as would lead to a reform of the existing evils con nected with the employment of labor. As the policy of these corporations toward their employes is dictated solely by selfishness and greed, they ure load ing upon themselves a weight of respon sibility for which they or the State will, Booner or later, be compelled to answer at the bar of public opinion, if not in the courts of law. — Ilecora. Knight* Will Enforce Thin Law. At the convention of D. A. 16, K. of L-, held at Archbald last week, arrange ments were made for the various local assemblies throughout northeastern Pennsylvania to hold mass meetings at every colliery in the interest of the two weeks' pay bill, and to solicit aid from the press in an effort to enforce the law. Among the resolutions passed was one on this subject as follows: "That we call upon all working men to take an earnest interest in the observance of the semi-monthly pay law by the employers. Every infringement of that law should he promptly reported and punished. Every employe in the service of the cor porations of this valley should be direct ed to demand his wages every two weeks, so that the violation of the law would rest with those who are loudest in their protestations against infringements of the law on the part of working men." From all indications the Knights mean to see that the law is enforced, notwith standing the protests of the operators that the law is unconstitutional, and the matter will be carried into the courts if necessary. No Law For Tkeite AnarcliiNtH. At Silver Brook last week the company put up notices stating their intention of complying with the two weeks' pay bill by paying on Saturday. A change of spirit or something else came over the oflicials in the meantime. The notices were torn down and the company did not pay, thus showing an evident inten tion of not carrying out the provisions of the new law.— Speaker. To Try Co-operation. Co-operation is to be given another trial in Freeland. Some time ago the members of the Greek Catholic congre gation formed the St. Mary's Co-opera tive Association, the title name being that of the church. The association in tends to go into the business on a large Bcale, and purchased two lots on Fern Street, below main, nearly opposite the proposed location of the I). S. & S. depot. Contractor A. K. Burger has signed agreements for the erection of a large store and other buildings. The main structure will be 28x42 feet and 22 feet high. It will be equipped with all the lutest appliances to facilitate business and is to tie ready for occupancy by Oc tober 1. Work has been commenced on the foundation. BASE BALE Freeland at Wilkes-Barre, August 8. Franklinville, of Philadelphia, at Free land, August 9. I I I When Mike Heffron, of Shenandoah, went to bat in the eighth inning of Sun day's game the score was 10 to 9 in favor of the renowned club from the city of Reading. There were two men out and the prospects were very blue when Mike fanned wind twice in succession. Two strikes, two out and the bases full make matters rather interesting. The eyes of sixteen hundred people watched for the next ball. Fox steadied himself, the batter felt his responsibility and the park was as quiet as a graveyard. A swift outshoot came sailing in, but it failed to reach the catcher. Heffron caught it on the end of his bat and landed it safely out in left centre for three bases. t\ elch, O'Hara and McGarvey trotted home and Heffron rested on third, where he was left by the next batter. But the hit won the game, as neither side scored in the ninth. The play was exciting from the beginning. Both teams batted hard, and Swoyer, who held the Cuban Giants down to one hit recently, was touched safely seven times when he was replaced by Fox, of Pottstown, who distinguished himself lately in a brief but brilliant career with the Louisville Club. Ander son and Brady relieved O'Hara and lieilly in the seventh, on account of O'Hara's wildness. Keilly caught a fine game and did excellent work afterwards in right field. The playing of Goodhart, Welch and McGeehan was also very good. The score: FREELAND. | READING. R. H. O. A. E.I R. H.O.A.

There were few brilliant plays made on either side, but the close and see-saw score kept the spectators on edge until the game was ended. Both pitchers were erratic and the visiting battery did not play their usual good game. Ander son had poor control of the ball and Brady was unable to hold his delivery when men were on bases. Wilson's work at short assisted Freeland in win ning, his three errors being made at the most inopportune times. Very little hit ting was done, the nine singles made being well scattered and none of the seven runs were earned. Freeland show ed up very bad at the bat, as Rotli ermal's thirteen strike-outs will testify. Their fielding was a trifle better than Lehighton's, and had they batted in their usual form the score would have been much more in their favor. Tony McC'ue, of the Pittston Young American Club, caught for Lebigbton, and be played his position far better than the average professional catcher. The coach ing of Brady, Malarkey and Ciough was the most interesting feature of the game. The score: FItE£I.AND. I I.BRIGHTON. B. H.O. A. E. It. 11. O. A. E.

The men com posing this club play exhibition games daily in the city and State, and they cftn be relied upon to do some superb play ing. This will be the first Philadelphia club Freeland lias ever contested with, and the Quaker City boys will have to play ball to win. Game called at three o'clock. Usual admission. I I I Reading's trip through the State is a disastrous one for their record. The score at Lehighton was 9 to 8 against them on Monday. The next day Dan ville defeated them by making four runs in the tenth inning. Score, 9to 5. Freeland and Wilkes-ISarre have lost one game to each other, and the contest on the latter's grounds on Saturday will be for the championship. Anderson and Brady and Goeckel and Zeller are the probable batteries. Editor Maloy, of the Lansford Record, was an interested spectator at Lehighton on Saturday. Jim's love for Freeland does not increase with time. Reading beat Danville yesterday, stol. Sunday's batteries will probably be Welch and lleftron for Freeland, and Sweitzer and McGinnis for Franklin ville. Sweitzer is a twirler from the old Central Penn'a League. Lukens is now throwing for the River ton Club, and on Monday held Cape May down to two hits. Freeland has a first baseman with a record that few players can eyual. In the past seven games he is credited with 73 put outs, 2 assists and 1 error. He accepts every chance and many of his put outs are obtained by capturing wide and high thrown balls. II 1 Poor Jeanesville! Everybody is knock ing that team around like a football, and outside the Sentinel the club hasn't a friend in the world. On Saturday they played at Mahanoy City, and, as the Mahanoy men understand base ball, Jeanesville was defeated 12 to 5. The club is expected to disband very soon. Other Saturday games were: ! I'ottsville Y. M. C. A., 3; New Boston, I '■ I Catasauiiua, 4; Highland, of Phila delphia, 2. Williamsport, 18; Scranton, 3. Minersville, 4; Ashland, 0. I I I Captain Goodhart, of the Reading Club, was asked on Sunday evening for his opinion of the home club, the town, the umpire and everything in general. He said: "Freeland seems to be a sporty place, the club iscomposed of gentlemen, and Empire Bonner gave us a square deal. We kicked a little, but that, you see, is part of the game. We expected to win and would like to try again, though I know we can't walk over Free land. Give my regards to the grand stand for its impartial applause and to the management for the splendid manner I we have been treated." Hal Ready Pay. (I V A GOOD THING. That's What the People Say.
