A very slight and polite criticism in dulged in at the expense of a cavalry of- I fleer who was riding alxjut a week ago ; at the horse show has assumed the pro- I portions of a serious event. The officer | in question sent a letter to the writer saying that he could understand the j criticising the horsemanship of jockeys and grooms, bat that he had no business to [tass any remarks on that of "gentle men or officers." He forbade the jour nalist to mention his name, and wound up by adding that his sole right waa that of the stronger and that ho would prove it if the offense were repeated. The journalist in a second paragraph re marked that he did not think he had acted improperly in criticising til* per formances of horsemen who rode in a public place to which admission was ob tained by payment, and, referring to the letter, said he could not believe that it had been penned by a French officer, and was convinced that it was a forgery. Thereupon the cavalry officer sent two of Ids friends to the journalist with a hostile message, and in the duel tliat followed he wounded him in the arm. Ho thus proved that he was "Le pins fort." But the affair is creating a great Bensation, the prevailing opinion being that the argument employed by the offi cer wan, to say the least, utterly illogi cal—in fact, this unlucky episode has brought once more on the tapis the vexed question of the expediency of military men displaying their prowess at races and horse skowß.—Paris Cor. London Telegraph. Will Live In a Glawi HOUM. At the city of Dinurd, in tlio depart ment of Ille-et-Vilaine, France, there lives a man distinguished both for his originality of ideas and for the fullness of his money bags. Ho lias been speak ing and teacbing for a long time npon the necessity of men beginning to load lives of greater purity, so that they need not be afraid of having all their deeds under the incessant supervision of so ciety. Ho is himself willing to submit to the trial and wants to find others to do the same. He has determined to have a three Btory house built all of glass. A dwelling of such transparency would not not only allow its inhabitants at all times a splendid prospect in every direction upon the bcantifnl country surrounding the place, but also expose the minutest details of the daily life of tho people in the house to the inspection of the entire city. The originator of the idea has found an architect willing to build the house on condition that he receives payment in advance. But there is no renting agent that will take the agency for it. If it Is to be a lodging house for bachelors, they say, they may be able to do, something with it, but they cannot find a female, thoy think, that would consent to live in a glass house. Nevertheless the old gentleman is determined to realise bis idea.—Chicago Herald. Tree Trunks Pilled with Squirrels. Woodchoppers on Dr. Price's Lenape farm report that squirrels are very numerous among the trees. When tho choppers began last fall there were several acres of trees standing and the squirrels were not numerous, but as the trees were cut, a few at a time, the little animals wore driven from one place of refuge to another until all were gathered into a small space, and the few remaining trees are filled with them. A man who had been working' among tbem says some of the hollow trees art packed so full of squirrels that tho tim bers creak every time the animals draw a deep breath. In the morning when the men go out to work they are met at the railway tracks by the knowing little animals, which feel secure because the game laws protect them at this season. A gentleman who has seen them says that they do not offer to carry the kettles of the men, although they do not object to sharing the contents.—West Chester (Pa.) Republican. A large contract for steel rails lias been placed in Belgium in connection with the new Turkish railway to Sa louica.

J 1 1 The largest audience of the season as sembled at the park on Sunday after-1 noon tQ see the tanious Solar 1 ip Club I of Philadelphia. The visitors had the name of being one of the best amateur teams in that city, hut their work here was sufficient to show that the Quaker City is far behind the coal regions when it comestoball playing. Freeland put on its batting clothes and at the end of the last inning the Solar Tips were weary from chasing leather. Sixteen hits for a total of twenty-three bases were made off Hirshfield, while Welch held his op ponents down to seven singles. The lead taken by Freeland from the start made the game less interesting than it might have been, but the excellent bat ting and splendid field work of the home club was quite a treat. McGeady, Boyle, Brady and E. McGeehan lead the bat ting, and on the diamond and field some phenomenal stops of hard balls were made. Following is the official score: FIIEKIiANI).

They are coming on Sunday and will do their ntmost to retrieve the defeat given them last month, when they lost by a score of 3to 2. The visitors will try to strenghten their team by procuring some of the State League Club, if they can be obtain ed. Freeland will also bring forth its best talent, and the game will undoubt edly he well-played, l'lay will com mence promptly at 3 P. M. I I I Hirshfield, pitcher for the Solar Tips, stated on Sunday evening that his club had played against many amateurs and professionals, but they never met such an aggregation of hitters as the Freeland team. The visitors were well satisfied with their trip and the treatment receiv ed and promised to recommend Free land to their city brethren as the most impartial town they ever played in. I I I Frank Wheeler, Scranton's third baseman, scored the winning run in a game on Sunday. When he reached the plate he was told of the death of his year-old son, who was drowned while playing near a pond. Manager Ilanlon will take his club to Scranton to-morrow morning for a two days' trip. Scranton is supposed to have a very strong team this season, but the boys will try to pluck a feather or two from the Electric City's cap. Jeanesville and Pottsville played on Saturday and the game broke up in a wrangle during the eighth inning. The score was tied, each dub having three runs. Freeland has outplayed and outbatted its opponents in every game this season. Its record is three won and one lost. The Wilkes-Barre Club plays an ex citing game every time it comes here, and it should draw well. Lukens, formerly with Lehighton and Jeanesville, is now throwing for Allen town. Jeanesville opens its new park on Sat urday with Wilkes-Barre. Upper Lehigh was defeated on Satur day at Sandy Run, 13 to 11. Weatlierly Stars won from the Free land Sluggers on Sunday. Score, 6-3.

The Neversweats, of Eckley, would like to hear from Manager Ferry, of the Tigers. They are anxiously waiting for a challenge. The owners and managers of the Pitts burg Club of the State League have de cided to transfer their team to Wilkes- Barre. Since Tuesday all games were played by them under the name of the Wilkes-Barre Club. They lead the State League and will play their first game at the county seat about July 1. DEATHS.

Miss Ellie McCauley and Miss Rose Gallagher, both of Hazleton, were among I the visitors here on Sunday. Manus McFaddcn, late of this place, j now of Sandy Run, was here on Sunday. The Hon. Manus Cannon, the Carbon County farmer, took a flying drive through here on Sunday with his noted team of grays. Miss Alice McNelis and Miss Cona ghan, of Old Ruck Mountain, were visit ing here on Sunday. William O'Donnell, the popular young hotelkeeper of lfa/.le Brook, was a visitor among the fair sex here on Sunday.

Two of our young ladieß while taking a pleasant walk towruds tho stripping recently were attacked by a monster black snake. Tbe reptile made a great fight, and it was with much difficulty they succeeded in taking its life. When measured it was 5 feet 4 inches long. Eckley, like several other mining towns, is noted for its great coal hoisting. The workings at old No. 1 slope are being remodeled and a foundation for an en gine is being laid. It is rumored that when completed all the coal from the stripping will come through the No. 1 slope. The 'terrors and Yorktown crossed hats at Eckley on Sunday. The latter was defeated by a score of 14 to 7. The features of the game was the coaching of J.ikie George, that young operator on the D. S. & S.

Two of our young men, J. Craig and J. Harvey, took a business trip to Scale ■ Siding, where they are about to purcltuse ■ a small farm. RAMBLER. J Kit DO NEWS. 1 Misses Annie Timony and Ella Mnlli i gan are visiting among friends in Atiden ■ ried this week. ( Some of the miners of this place are idle over the rush of water caused by the heavy rains last week. The Milnesville boys came here to play base hall on Sunday and the way our boys made them chase the ball was enough to discourage any club. We ex pect them to play again in about two weeks when they practice a little. Miss Annie P.rißlin, of Hazleton, spent a few hours here among friends this week. Some of our young people are falling into the habit of letter writing for pas time or pleasure, as they call it. This letter writing is ail right in its place, but girls, suppose they get into the hands of somebody else. What then? A large number of people from here uttended the excursion to Wilkes-Barre yesterday. Peter Gallagher is spending a few days in Wilkes-Barre this week on business. A few people here are very anxious to know your correspondent, and for infor mation to them. "Don't look for me among the eight o'clock sleepers." I like to see what is going on at night. The new slope at No. 5, or Pink Ash. as it is better known, is the subject of much debate at present. It is well known that the old workings have been very troublesome on account of the large volume of water that had to be pumped out. The old miners who worked in this slope say that a pump throwing 1200 gal lons a minute failed to keep it dry and they think it will be the same again as soon as the new portion of it gets in working order. But they admit that the big flat from Pink Asli to the tunnel mountain will be the best of work and will last for many a year. Then the un pleasant thought comes—the English speaking race will hardly tie noticeable in it. HIGHLAND NOTES. Mrs. Sarah Dennony and Miss Rogan, of Freeland, were visiting here on Sun day.
