A Great Handicap. About 500 people assembled at Martin Caffery's ball alley at Maffit's Patch Thursday to witness the long talked of handicap in which some of the best ball players in the county participated. Thomas Dullard, of Wilkes- Barre, and John Lee, of Plymouth, were handicapers. All the names were thrown in a hat and drawn by 8 small boy who could show no favor. The first bout was between John Callaghan and Thomas Dullard and Frank Moran and Anthony Gaughan, Fifteen points made winner jump on the alley.

All bands thought Moran and Gaughan would stand no show with the champions, but they got left, Moran and batty beat Dullard and Callaghan 11 and 15 in their favor. The second bout was close and exciting between Moran, and Beaty, and Sullivan and Keeney, the latter was beat by one ace.

Maybe this league is too fast for you. Come, now, let us hear from you. That great Lynn club was knocked out by the Dutch yesterday.

Those New England fellows are away up in their own little leagues but when it comes to playing ball with ball players they dodn't perch quite 80 high. Let 'er go again, Cuff hand in your resignation. Let 'er go. What will the verdict be to-day. If Dasher Troy can refrain long enough from knecking out the Wilkes- Barre players he may have an opportunity to knock the ball out for a few runs once in a while.

The Scranton end of the see-saw, popped little higher yesterday, while the other with Wilkes- Barre went down, We're nearer third place now than they are by a number of points. -Scranton Truth.

FOTHERINGHAM, Manager N. J. MaManus, spiritual director of Catholic Diocesan Union of Scranton, writes a letter in which he takes exceptions to a decree promulgated by J. C. Vaughan, Presi dent of the Scranton Union.

The reveren gentleman in a letter addressed to the Scran ton Truth says: I read in your paper recently a letter signed, J. C. Vaughan, itstructing the officers of the various societies to govern themselves by an opinion given by the President of the National Union. The writer stated that this opini was approved by the Board of Government, thereby becoming a part of the constitation. A new way of amending constitutions.

may do for the National T. B. Union, It is not the way the Scranton Diocesan Union amends its constitution, and let me here state that this opinion is not a part of the Scranton Diocesan T. B. Constitution, and I say this with a great deal of emphasis.

When the Scranton Union changes its con stitution the officers of the various societies will be informed of it by seeing my name subscribed thereto. There can be no mistake as to the meaning of the spiritual director in the above paragraph. Continuing he says: I what I be fore asserted (giving the reasons therefore) that signing a bond or attesting the truth of a violation man's of character the pledge, applying much for less license is is signing not 8 bond, because more remote. It would seem to me that total abstinence conventions have no business of greater importance to transact than that of making it more difficult for members to remain total abstainers or mem bers of total abstinence societies. They want to dictate to them their daties 88 citizens, whom to sympathize with, their daties 88 en (what occapation they must follow, or at least what work that must not engage Of course do not find fault with them prohibiting their members from engaging in the sale of intoxi cating beverages, but indirectly they want to exclude a multitude of toilers because of their indirect connection with the manufacture or sale of such beverages, which indirect con nection as workmen, or professional, may be a ctended almost incoinitely.

Ag a secular journal we have no desire 10 interfere in the controversy, but in the paragraph quoted there is considerable "mineir of matters." A third suggestion Father McManus has to offer is: "A third suggestion and I have done. wish that the different societies comprising the Scranton Diocesan Union shall observe the chapter in their 3-laws headed Any refusal to obey them will be followed by its legitimate penalty. Under these restrictions they are not permitted to hold any picnic, fair, ball or other entertainmeut withent the permission of their Spiritual Director. And this should never be granted when held for the society's private ase and advantage. Nor can a spiritual Director, even if he would, permit such on a holiday of obligation.

I hope the respected President, as well as the other officers of the Board of Government, as well as the humblest member of the societies, would make note of this and govern themselves accordingly." In concludiog bis epistle the reverned gentleman grows a little warm and rebukes Mr. Vaughan in very severe language. We don't think the cause of temperance is promoted any by these controversies in sec alar newspapers, Mr. Vaugban as editor of 8 Catholic paper and a temperance leader should be careful what he prints. If he prints facts they can be substantiated.

One thing is certain, and that is there can be no half way business on the temperance question. Mr. Vaughan evidently knows this. TEMPERANCE CONTROVERSY The Spiritual Director of the DiUnion Writes a Letter. ocesan Excursion Cincinnati.

Bullington, of Georgia, has just baptized his own wife- a case never heard of before outside the controversial novel. The following curious item is found in a San Francisco newspaper: "A man named Nelson committed suicide at Spokane Falls, W. last week. His brain weighed sixtyone Mrs. Clark, of Ashland, has just received by mail $25 from "one who took 8 pocket knife without paying for it from her grandfather's store up in Parksburg, some fifty years ago." The wife of a Breton peasant, for whom the doctor had prescribed leeches, fried the leeches and gave them to her injured husband to eat.

He was taken fatally ill, and it was attributed to the leeches. Varder Hurt, of Cummings, 75 years old, and worth a good many thousand dollars, the othetated bought his first postage stamp, that he had never before in his life either written or received a letter. A man at Booneville, had a pretty, small frame house that he could not sell at what seemed to bim its Value, so he took it down, packed it upon 8 freight train and sent it sailing off to the Kansas town in which he was about to take up his abode. Great are the wonders of the telephone. A pbysician reports that he was saved a two mile ride through a driving storm one night by patient, a child, brought to the instrument and held there till it coughed.

He diagnosed false croup, prescribed therefor and turned in for an undisturbed sleep during the remainder of the night. Hefound the patient in the morning doing nicelyunder the care of another doctor. A gentleman and lady are now stopping at a Bar Harbor hotel who have had a queer experience. They met on the Atlantic ocean, he proposed in Sweden, was accepted in Russia, asked her father's permission in England, the marriage settlements were drawn up in the United States, they were married moonS Algiers in Bar and are Harbor. now spending Matches their are honey- sometimes made in other places than the proverb says.

FREAKS OF NATURE. Houston county, is the home of a chicken whose feathers are so like hair as to give the effect of fur. A mammoth squash at Medford, grew feet in length and inches ir circumference in twenty-one days. A radish weighing three and a half pounds and measuring twenty inches in circumference is on exhibition in Dublin. It was grown by Buchan, of Reedy Springs, Ga.

One of the curiosities on exhibition at the Cincinnati centennial is a petrified watermelon, which was found near the quarries of the Southern Granite company, at Lithonia; Ga. Out in New Mexico they caught the other day a rabbit with the tail a cat. It appears that the rabbit once had a fight with a cat, and when the battle was over the cat had the rabbit's tail and the rabbit had the cat's. This is official. Mr.

Bloodworth, of Grifln, has grown this year twelve ears of corn upon one stalk, and fourteen squashes upon a single arm of vine, so it is entirely credible that from a garden one-sixteenth of an acre he has sold $35 worth after supplying his family. A peach tree in the orchard of Mr. Johnson, of Clinton, N. is now ripening its third crop of fruit this year, which, however, is quite cast in the shade by one down in Georgia, the property of Mr. Bobo, which is just now yielding a fourth crop, with another in prospect.

There is curiosity at J. J. Buchheit's, Sanford, in the shape of a "potato bug," a. as it is called. Its length is 4 feet, width across the back inches, snout 3 inches long, height 10 inches, weight pounds.

Mr. Buchheit intends to send it to Cincinnati as a "Florida curiosity." THE LATEST IN JEWELS. A writhing oxidized silver serpent is an odd design in button hook handles. A silver nutmeg is the appropriate form which a new nutmeg grater assumes. A cane with silver chains passing through the head is the latest in the line of "sticks." A new silver candlestick represents an oak leaf holding an acorn in which the candle rests.

A bar of diamonds, having, at each en a small blue globe, is design in brooches. Sleeve buttons of white onyx, on which are numerous small, black circular dots, are quite pretty. Sleeve links of white onyx, oval in shape, and having small diamond or ruby centers, are tasteful and fashionable. A graceful little glove buttoner handle is composed of six chased rings of varying sizes, rigidly joined together. A tiny three cornered bell, each side bearing a medallion head, in relief, makes an artistic queen chain pendant.

Some handsome silver backcombs recently finished have a group of bright colored flowers inlaid in enamel on the upper half. A network of Roman gold wires within a rustic frame, on which rests in enameled fish's head holding a diamond tightly in its mouth, makes a peculiar brooch. A neat design in sleeve links is of silver in mottled oxidized finish. On one end are two curb chain pattern links, and a hollow twist bar does duty on the other. Jeweler's Weekly.

PECULIAR ACCIDENTS. A Chicago woman put her husband's revolver in a hand sachel when she went shopping. By a sudden jar the pistol was discharged, seriously wounding a messenger boy who was passing. For an hour Amos Kissling, of Reading, hung head downward in a cherry tree. Blood was flowing freely from his mouth and ears when be was rescued.

The limb had broken upon which he sat and his foot had caught as he fell. By falling with a lead pencil in her mouth the little daughter of George Larkin, of Hopkintown, R. received probably a fatal in jury. The pencil was driven through the roof the mouth and protruded at the right side of the base of the occipital bone. A traveler leaving a ferryboat at East Boston slipped and shot headforemost under the guard rail, but instead of falling into the water he fell on top of a slip pile which had been sawed off, and there he stood on his head, between the boat and the slip, until be was pulled back on the boat feet first.

A baby out in Indiana came near dying in an odd fashion. The mother left it safe in the cradle, while out in the yard was a frolicsome puppy with a block and chain. By some means, in her absence the dog got in the house, and in playing with the child the chain was so wound about its throat that it was almost strangled when the. mother got Paola, FOR OLD PEOPLE! In old people the nervous system is weakened, and that must be strengthened. One of the most prominent medical writers of the day, in speaking of the lence of rheumatic troubles among the aged, says: various pains, rheumatic or other, which old people ofen complain of, and which materially disturb their comfort, result from disordered nerves." There it is in a nut -the medicine for old people must be a nerve tonic.

Old people are beset with constipation, lency, drowsiness, diarrhoa, indigestion, rheamatism, neuralgia, These diseases are of nervous origin. Paine's Celery Compound, that great nerve tonic, is almost specific in these disorders, and by its regulating influence on the liver, bowels, and kidneys, removes the disorders peculiar to old age. Old people find it stimulating to the vital powers, productive of appetite, and a promoter of digestion. Sold by druggists. $1.00.
