"I have been suffering from dyspepsia

Not Allowed to Play.
Five carloads of excursionists from
Pittston and other upper end towns
came to Freeland yesterday morning to
witness a game of ball to be played be
tween the clubs of Pittston and Ed
wardsville. When the time arrived to
prepare for the game it was discovered
that several members of both clubs were
intoxicated and were without uniforms,
bats, balls or other equipment.
Under tho circumstances, the direct
ors of tho Tigers park refused to permit
the grounds to lie used by the visitors,
as the men wore not in condition to
give such an exhibition as would war
rant the charging of an admission feo.
Tho action of tho Tigers naturally
caused the upper end ball players some
disappointment, but tho local people
had no other choice in the matter.
When the park was leased a guaranteo
was given tho late Eckley B. Coxe that
only respectable sport would be indulged
in, and drunkenness and gambling will
not be tolerated on the grounds.

MITCHELL'S TRIBUTE.
President of the United Mine Workers on
Rev. K. S. Phillips.
The Indianapolis News has the follow
ing interview with President John
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers:
"Father Phillips, as I knew him, was
one of tho most earnest advocates for
what he believed to be right that I have
ever known. He always tried to beon
the miners' side of a question, but did
not always see the miners' side as I saw
it. He rendered tho miners invaluable
•assistance during the great strike and
afterward, up to the time of his disap
pearance.
"During the strike when ho became
convinced that my policy In prosecuting
tho strike was tho best one, he publicly
declared his adherence to the cause and
gave his unqualified indorsement, taking
the most active interest in carrying for
ward tho work.
"He was a man of medium height,
compactly made, athletic, very quick in
his movements. lie had a kindly and
gentle face, a Christian race, a face that
without a ministerial garb would indi
cate that he was a clergyman. His
complexion was fair. He had consider
able color in his cheeks and very large
dark eyes. 1 never saw a man of clearer
eyes. As a speaker I have cause to have
it indelibly imprinted on my memory
that he was a man of unusual power;
this because of an Incident that occurr
ed during the crucial period of the strike.
"The Marklo Company had proposed
what, in my judgment, was a fake ar
bitration with its men. I had advised
the men not to accept it. A mass meet
ing of Marklc's employes, about 4,000 in
number, was called. The meeting was
held, the men being addressed from the
porch of a school house. 1 spoke to tho
men, advising the course I bolieved best
for thorn to pursue. Mr. Markle then
spoke, presenting his side of the ques
tion, with some elTect. Ho then called
on Father Phillips to fortify the state
ments that he had mado. Father Phil
lips, believing the interests of the men
would he best served by accepting the
Markle proposition to arbitrate, made a
most eloquent appeal.
"no swayed that great audience won
derfully. He turned them all Iris way
by his eloquence, tho magic of his voice,
his well chosen words and tho plausible
argument he advanced. They all seem
ed as ho ended his speech to be with
him. I followed him and presented the
miners' aide of the case.
"The next day Father Phillips came
to me. He had thought the matter
over, and came to my view of tho case.
Ho invited mo to go with him to Arch
bishop Ryan at Philadelphia and ask
tiio archbishop to act as arbitrator for
the 140,000 idle men in the entiro an
thracite coal strike. My position was
that arbitration should be resorted to,
but that arbitration should embrace all
tho companies and ail the inon produc
ing coal in the anthracite field. In pre>
senting the miners' side to the arch
bishop, Father Phillips supported my
arguments, and ever aftor we have
been warm, personal friends."
