About one hundred of the Knights and their friends from Reynoldsville, arrived eary In the afternoon and about the same time a hundred or more of Punxsutawnev Knights and their guests arrived at the park. The afternoon was spent in various ways, the dancing holding the attention of the greater purt of the crowd. About five o'clock Jupiter Pluvius got busy and it rained for nearly two hours, making it necessary for the plcnlcers to eat under cover. A great many went to the vaudeville tent to dine, while the lunch pavillion and all other covered sites were filled 'with the eaters and the eatabes. In iho evening the crowd was increased wonderfully by those who were unable to Ret away during the day md who had come for the dance. The prise waits proved to be an Interesting: affair. Those who wished to do <o entered the contest and from the large number who were In the tlrst round-up, eight couples were picked.

LOEB SAYS THE STORIES ARE FALSE W. F. 8. Barnett, of Pine street, who owns the three-hundred-pound pet bear, which attacked him the other day with tooth and claw, says there Is a wrong Impression about the matter abroad, which he desires to correct. The paper stated, he says, that he was wrestling with the bear when It took him by the neck, when the truth Is, he was only feeding It sweetcake and stroking its back, acts that no well-behaved bear could properly resent. On the morning of the assault he took some ginger-cake and a piece of cheese In his hand and went to the barn to feed Mr. Bruin. He ate the cake with apparent relish and appeared to be duly appreciative. Hut he scorned the cheese. It is not Improbable that the bear regarded the offering of cheese as an insult, and that the supposed indignity so enraged the animal as to put murder in his heart. Mr. Barnett is getting along nicely considering the extent of his Injuries, and will soon be an good as new. But he has lost confldenco in the bear. Never again will he permit It to get confidential or unduly familiar.Thos present were: Misses Jesse and ' Mae Sheaffer, Mary and Margaret Rlnn, Lou and Fanny Pantall, Edna Hanscom, Florence Reese, Nan and Bertha Beyer, Mary Beyer, Edna Evans, Mabel St. Clair, Anna Roscnberger, Claudia Fink.

PKTKItSRPRO, Russia, July 25. —The Novoe Vremya yesterday published details of an alleged antidynastic movement In southern China, ascribing it to Japanese instigators, who, the paper says, are busily preparing for the Manchu dynasty in China the same fate which has just overtaken the Emperor of Korea. Continuing, the paper says that in contravention to the supplementary provisions of the China-Japanese treaty of 1905, defining the regions where foreigners, including Japanese, shall be permitted to reside, Japanese agents have worked their way into the most remote corners of the empire The keynote of Japanese intrigue consists in assuring the Chinese that Japan is their protector against the nations of the west and at the same time reassuring: the westerners that Japan is their vanguard against the Chinese peril. The apprehension of the Novoe Vremya regarding the reopening of the far eastern question are fully shared In Russian military circles, where the steady armament of China and Japan is viewed with alarm. This movement is regardecf as primarily menacing to the remnant of Russian possessions on the Pacific. !OW, July 26. — Another exof a woman Terrorist occur- iday, when Mme.

Janet E. Robinson, a cultured New England woman, cousin of ex-Oovernor Bacheider, of New Hampshire, made her escape from Rivercrast Asylum for the Insane at Astoria, L, I., a few days ago, and is- now In hiding In this city. The escape from a locked ward In this sanitarium Is the climax of a sensational story of her efforts to gain assistance through organised charity In this city. She declares that she Is suffering only from Incipient tuberculosis and that she was railroaded to the Rlvercrest Institution as an insane patient.She blames the Charity Organization society; and her sister. Miss Ethel G. Emery, a teacher of Havana, Cuba, who is now in this city on a vacation, for her plight. She says she is convinced detectives are still trailing her In an effort to re-commlt her. Mrs. Robinson has convinced some powerful friends. Including the Rev. Madison C. Peters, that she is entirely sane. They will Induce some charitably disposed person to send her to a quiet farm until her nerves recover from the shock of her experiences. She then hopes to go west and take up her occupation as a stenographer. This unfortunate woman has been under the care of the Charity Organization socioty's tuberculosis committee for some time. She spent several weeks at Ray Brook, a sanitarium in the Adirondacks, but says she was compelled to leave It on account of 111 treatment. She was told that her presence was no longer wanted on the health boat at the foot of West Sixteenth street after she had words with the matron. She appealed to secretary Paul Kennedy for further relief. She said he conferred with her sister and that they secured her commitment to Rlverhead sanitarium after appearing In a Flushing court. She says she did not know of this court action, however, until after she escaped and that no papers were ever served upon her. News of Mrs. Robinson's escape was not made public by the management of the sanitarium. When questioned about it by Mrs. Robinaon'e friends they aald they had "permitted her to leave," aa they had not legal authority to hold her. * A reporter saw Mra. Robinson at the home of the Rev. Madison C. Peters, Brooklyn. She Is a woman of charming manner, remarkably well educated, and told of her trials In search of health by the charity route |n a most rational manner.

BUTLER, Pa. — Butler confectioners hftve entered the movement (or a State association to fight the 8uniday laws. _ , status In the league and not know- > There was no game between Punx-1 sutawney and DuBola at Bait End | Park yesterday afternoon because Imj mediately after Umpire Pastorious, at I 3:30 o'clock, announced "play bail," | Runny Larkln, manager of the Du! Hols team took his men from tho | field and went home. After the lapse of live minutes, during which a big j crowd of fans and everybody at East End Park wondered what had happened, the game was called 9 to 0 In favor of the Punx'y team. The spectacle of a team being taken ofr the field for no apparent cause, especially is a new wrlfkle in baseball ethics and under any circumstances subjects the Interstate team refusing to play to a fine of S200 and the forfeiture of their guarantee of $t>0. The action of Bunny Lark in yesterday, therefore, will not only cost his club $260 and their traveling expenses, but Hie loss of the game. The refusal of DuBols to play bait yesterday afternoon is based on a claim to Mark Campbell who formerly played short stop for the defunct Glean team, but who was awarded to Punxsutawney by the only  having the power to make such an Inward.

The history of the Mark Campbell Ileal which led up to yesterday'* action on the part of DuBols Is ak fol-1 lows: , on Thursday, July 11, the Olean ! Baseball Association notified the ot- I fleers of the Interstate Baseball Association that they were (join*, to qtllt the IcaRue, and a meeting of the directors of the Interstate Association was called Wednesday for July 17, to I dotermlne what should be done with I the Olean franchise. In the meantime the Clean club was irlven the authority to go ahead and play out the schedule until July 17. under tho management of Left Fielder Spratt. , The Olean Association evidently had not yet abandoned Its franchise I for when the director* met Wedne*- I day, July 17. the directors of the AsisiK'latlon presented a request to have the action on their franchise held oft until July I*, as they still had hopes of financing the team, a meeting fur which had been called for Wednesday night. While the Interstate directors were In session at Hldgway, however, they received notice thai Kane had concluded to quit the league and hence the franchise of both towns were declared forfeited to the Interstate League. Now as the players of both teams and the franchises of both Kane and Olean Were clearly the property of the Interstate League, no association, player or manager had a right to dispose of either franchise or player, but the parent organization, the Interstate League. Manager W. J. Brown, of l'unxsutawney, who attended that meeting, Wednesday, July 17, at one*- asked to have Mark Campbell awarded to Punxsutawney. In the presence Of President Frank Baumclster an.] tin: directors of clubs of all of the towns now represented In the league, Mr. Brown was told that he could have Campbell, as there would be no one to Interfere with Ills signing with Punxsuluwney. That tills will not be disputed In DuBols is evident from an article which appeared in this morning's (,'ourler and which reads in part as folows. "At tile meeting of I lie league directors Manager Brown of tlio l'un»- putawney club asked the representatives If there would be any objection* If he tried to secure Campbell. He received a negutlve answer." Mr. Brown not only tried, but he did receive the concent ot the only otaer person besldea Campbell who could legally have anything to do with his transfer to Punxsutawney. On the way home from Rldgway July 17 the DuBols members of the association asked Mr. Brown to stop at DuBols where Campbell was playing with Clean, and sign up with the player, but Mr. Brown being anxious to get home said that that would not be necessary. The DuBols director# then volunteered to notify Mark ] that he should report to Punx'y and nothing more was thought of the mat* ..
