Harrisburg having gone, Williamsport will be here today find tomorrow, and, as Reading has struck a fast playing gait and all Its pitchers are in excel lent trim, warm contests are looked fir. Many fans were under the impression that there is to be a double header here today.

Reading has no postponed gan'e with the Lumbermen in this city. There is, however, a postponed game at Williamsport, which must be played at that place when Reading makes Its next trip. The fact is, Reading has only one postponed game here, and that is with Lancaster. Lelivelt's ambition to get around tm the bases and score runs is to be admired, and it is praiseworthy. How fr.

he should learn the difference be. tween recklessness and daring. A sate play goes further than a dashing one, in the long run, and it gives tho playerV club Infinitely more chance to score.

OF INTEREST TO MEN Tho passion for initialed articles of personal apparel has now been extended to the belt for men.

The belt has no tongue, the usual holes in the leather engaging a hook at the back of the buckle, the free end of the leather houk ingto the other end of the under side of the buckle. The newest silk shirts have double cuffs linked by two sets of small pearl buttons, one at tne turned back edge of the cuff and the other at the wrist edge. A pongee shirt has three initials em broidered on the sleeve, each letter be ing surrounded by a irame with a pointed top, The whole design looked like a gothic triptych. The recent newspaper report which states that King Edward has decroed that frock coats henceforth shall be proper for wear at dinners which are other than gala affairs is a little ob scure. This pronouncement is said to have been called forth by President Fallleres having expressed his displeasure at the state dinner in Buckingham palace at having to appear "In a dress suit, even at midday functions." One can readily sympathize with the Frenchman's no longer caring to follow the continental custom of wearing evening dress for daylight functions, but it is not clear that the state dinner at Buckingham Palace took place in the sunlight.

One can hardly fancy an English state dinner with the men in frock coats, unless it took place at lunch time. It 1 not likely that the well dressed Briton will be induced to wear his frock coat at night, even should' the King sanction this extraordinary proceeding.

To clean black silk from mud stains, the following recipe will be found a good one: Peel and cut into small pieces a moderate sized potato.

Sponge the spotted silk rapidly with this liquid, and rub each spot carefully, thoroughly wetting the material.

Original.) The herolno ot thta story la, or was, a real person. She received the French military medal' and the decoration of the Legion of Honor In 1878. One November day to. the pleasant land of France a girl stood on the porch looking on the falling leaves which were slowly circling from the trees to the ground, The bouse before which she Btood was the telegraph office, of Which her mother, Mme. Dodu, was la charge, the daughter, Juliette, being her assistant.

The air was still, and no sound was to be heard except perhaps an occasional strain of song from a distance of those making wine, though there was little of this now, for war had been declared by France against Prussia, the Germans were sweeping across the French border and most of the wine vats had been emptied. Suddenly there came the clear notes of a distant bugle. The girl's attitude changed at once from idle contemplation to eager interest. She listened one presently heard far up the road a faint clatter of horses' hoofs. Running lnto the house, she cried: 'Mother, the Prussians are 'How do you know?" "Listen." They stood for a moment silent, the sounds growing louder every moment.

"Come. We must get everything out of the way that may be of advantage to them." They hurriedly gathered all copies of dispatches la the office and poshed them into the stove, where they disappeared in flame and smoke. Theyt had hardly done so when a body of uhlans dashed up to the bouse and; surrounded it This Is customary la war. When a force takes possession of a town before the main body enters, a troop of cavalry is sent on the gaU lop to seize the telegraph office. An officer threw himself from his horso and hurried in, placed Mme.

Dodu and her daughter under arrest; thea looked for any telegrams that might be in the office. Not finding any, ha sent the mother upstairs to her bed room and placed Juliette to her own room on the ground floor. Now, Juliette had been accustomed to attend to nny telegraph work that must be dono at night She had placed; a machine to her closet and connected; It with the wires in the office. Byl leaving the closet door open she could! hear a call and transmit any message) required. Being used to the work, the! slightest click would awaken her.

Shot was left alone by her captors, being permitted to close her door, at which a guard was stationed. Meanwhile a Prussian army under Prince Frederick Charles poured into the town and it vicinity. Juliette went to sleep thai night ew pecting to get a good rest The Pros slang being in possession of the tele graph station and doubtless having. their own operators, she would not be called upon to transmit messages. She had barely got to sleep when she waa awakened by a clicking in the closet.

She recognized it at once as the call of Orleans. The office in another part of the house answered, and the operator at Orleans began to send a message, to which Juliette, who could! read by ear, listened. It was ad dressed to Prince Frederick Charlesw Tho Prussians had occupied Orleans and they were sending to the message a description of the exact position a part of the French army which marching on Gien. There they gavai the information necessary to enabla the prince to surround and capture tha French. The fate of that corps of the FrencK army rested with Juliette.

It might be possible for her to transmit the) dispatch that had been sent the prlnca i to a place the Prussians had not yef entered. But she knew that any tam pering with the wires while they werel in possession of them meant death She was a French girl and loved herf people. Getting out of bed, she wenil I to the closet, succeeded in calling thei subprefect of a neighboring town andl telegraphed the dispatch with full Information as to Its being sent to thai Prussian commander. He in turn sent It to the French commander. Tha Prussian movement was anticipated, and tho French troops were saved! from the trap.

As soon as Prince Frederick Charles learned that his move had been fore stalled he suspected a telegram had I been sent the French commander In forming him of the Prussian lnten tions. An examination was made oi wires leading from the telegraph office, and connecting wires were found leady Ing to Juliette's room. Juliette was marched out and befora a court martial to bo tried for her of fense. The charge brought against net was that Of being a spy, which tern Includes giving secret Information of an army to its enemy. Juliette, wh had expected all this, confronted tha men who tried her with composure, listening to the formalities without paying any attention to them.

Sha had saved thousands of her country's defenders. What compared with this a was the life of a little daughter oj France? 1 As was. to be expected, she was con Ylcted and sentenced to be shot 1,1 But no man with the record of Prince Frederick Charles could shoot a little French girl who had outwitted and offered her life her confft, men.
