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.—

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.

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:

At Lebigbton Saturday afternoon the |
Freeland Club defeated Carbon County's
crack team by a very narrow margin.
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.

Manager Hanlon and the members of
the Freeland Association are untiring in
their efforts to bring excellent attractions
here, and for Sunday they have secured
the Franklinville, one of Philadelphia's
semi-professional teams. 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.

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.

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.

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."
