CHANGE IN BASE BAIL RULEs.-Bu;
very few changes in the rules have been
proposed this season, the principal one
being that of equalizing the penalty in
fc.ing on the batsman and pitcher, the
former not striking at. fair balls within
the reach otthe bat. The amended rules
requires ball to be called on every sec
ond unfair ball delivered, instead OF ev-
cry third as las. season, while it allows
the batman TO let one fair bali pass him
instead of his beiag obliged to strike at
every fair ball delivered. This cannot
be SAID to be change IN the rule, but q
modification of the penalty for unfair
play. Tho only real change in the play
is that connected with the running OF
bases on foul balls. 1t is warmly advo-
Gated By good judges oil the game among
the professional fraternity that the time
has come 10 do away with two old Tea-
lures in base running, and these are, frs.
the putting out base runner obliged to
return 10 his base on foul ball, and the
making OF Gy-csthes exceptions in the
case OF leaving base after catch hes
been made. The amended rulo govern
ing the play in regard to catching foul
ball is as follows:
No base shall be run or scored when a
fair or foul ball has been caught or mo-
mentsriiy held before touching the
ground unless the base held when the
ball WAS retouched by the base-runner
after the ball has been so caught by the
fielder. But after the ball has been so
caught or held by the base runner shall
be privileged TO attempt to make base
or score run. He shall not, however,
be entitled to any base touched after the
ball has been hit and before the eaten is
made. The amended rule applicable TO
returning bases on foul balls is as fol-
lows:
Any player running bases on foul
balls shall be obliged to return 10 the
base he occupied when the ball was
struck, and retouch such bsse before al
tempting TO make another base or score
run; but said player snail not be liable
to be put out IN SO returning. In the
case OF n foul os.. caught before touch
ing the ground, the base-runner return
ing to touch the base must remain on
until the ball is held hy the pitcher.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

Yesterday was the day celebrated BY
Irish fellow citizens, the birthday of
Ireland,s patron saint. A, usual, the
day VISA blusterous and rough, but that
did no. daunt the Irish enthusiasm!
In the earlier days Of Christianity every
nation In, Christsndom bossted its patron
saint; and the name of some dsvoat
apostle of the Church who had done good
service in extending the religion Of the
Gross in that particular country, or who
was revered for piety. or honored for
heroic sacrifices, was chosen as tailsman
of faith or q slogan of WAT. This was
the origin of those tabled or real heroes
the seven champions, among whom the
Patron of Green Erin ranked in no
mean degree; for although England
might boast St. George, Scotland st.
Andrew. Wales q St. David, Spain St
James, France st. Denis, l ally st. An
thony, there was not more redouotao'e
Saint among them all than Patrick OF OLD
! Ireland. But it is neither our province
nor intention to go into the history of this
Saint or his times. 1t is enough for ou
purpose to say that to him has been &C
corded the credit of converting the anclen
Celtic inhabitants of that Island from thu
Druidical worship to the true faith
faith IN which they have RENAME ed stead
fast to the present. Unlike most of th'
other Patrons We have referred TO, man!
of whom are notably myths, st. Patric!
was and is still grand reality. He di'
live, move, and have his being AM
we have every reason TO believe tina
he event around doing good" an
all Irisbmen are devotedly sttaohe'
to him, no matter what may b
their creed or where their abode. Per
haps the secret OF their devotion may b
found in the fact that he is the only tan
giblo representative of their natonslit
that has been left to them untouched b
the stern hand of their despoilers. He
at once symbol of their religious tsit
and an emblem of their political exis
tence, and while his memory survive
Ireland will still be nation.

The Public Debt of Spain.

The termination of the Carlist war,
closing at length the frightful drain upon
the resources of the treasury: must be
followed speedily by measures caIcu-
lated to introduce order and economy
into the finances of Spain. Nothing
wilder or more ruinous can be imagined
than the expedients to which successive
ministers of finance have resorted dur
ing the last few years in order to obtain
funds for carrying on the war with Don
Carlos. 1t was q matter OF life and death
for the Government to find money, at
least for the troops in the North and
East, and it was found, but upon terms
more BETTING Constantinople or Cairo
than a European capital. Twenty per
cent. has been frequently paid, and at
times money, which must be had, could
not be borrowed under thirty, in this
way the floating debt has been raised to
EGO, 600, 900, although it is long since
any attempt was made to pay the hold
ers of three per cents. It is difficult to
arrive at a Just estimate of the actual
amount of debt which forms part OF the
acknowledged obligations of Spain at
the present moment There are, how
ever, a consolidated debt of G360, O0O,-
600: bonds to the amount OF ESQ, 0O0,-
900 issued in favor of the clergy and of
civil corporations 922, O0O,00O of rail
way bonds, and nearly 910,000,00O of
miscellaneous convertible debt. Be
sides these there are EGO, 900, 900 interior
three per cent. consolidated debt
pledged by the Treasury for loans and
the floating debt already referred to.
Leaving out the hypothecated securities
and the floating debt, we have here
e422, 100000 on which interest is pay
able, to which must be added the float
ing debt, which could not be converted
at present prices into less than $685.
900, 900. It would be quite premature
to inquire when Spain will be able to
resume payment of the full interest on
her whole public debt.-LO9adO'a Neo0s.

The Great Merchants Successors.

It is now definitely settled that the
vast estate of the late A. i. Stewart
passes under the control of Judge Henry
Hilton, partly as agent and partly as
owner, the widow having given HIM full
power of attorney to manage her own
estate, and having assigned for the con-
sideration of $1,000, 900 all her late hus-
band interest III the business of A. Il.
Stewart & Co. The details of the assign
ment show that for this consideration
the widow transfers all her right, title,
claim, and interest TO all the property
belonging to the late firm of A. T. Stew
art 4 Go. wherever situated and of what
ever kind. This includes, In addition
to the store in New York city, the stores
in other cities in the United States and
Europe, fourteen mills, the improve
ments at Garden City, l.. l., the Grand
Union Hotel at Saratoga, the carpet
mills at Glenham, N. Y, and other prop
erty, but does not include any real es-
tate in the city of New York AS the par
ticular consideration for this somewhat
unique transfer, the assignment states
that it is made to carry out the wishes
of Mr.. Stewart, SO that the business may
continue as if he were living, and that
his unexecuted arrangements and con-
tracts may be completed. The transfer
was made on the 14th inst, and on the
same day the new copartnership was
formed between Henry Hilton and
William Libbey, under the firm name of
A. T. Stewart & Co., for the purpose
of conducting general mercantile bust
ness in the city Of New York, and in the
cities of Boston, Philadelphia, Paris,
Lyons, Manchester, Bradford, Noting
ham, Belfast, Glasgow, Berlin, Chem
nitz, and elsewhere in the United States,
and in the kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, and on the continent of Europe
and other foreign countries. In pur-
suance of these arrangements, the great
business has gone on without stopping,
just as if Mr.. Stewart was alive, and
will continue to do so.-Ch6cago 1f'ib-

Breaking Hearts.

Do not laugh at the drunken man
reeling through the street, however
lndicrous the sight may be; just stop
to think. He is going home to some
tender heart that will throb with intense
agony; some doting mother, perhaps,
who will grieve over the downfall OF her
once sinless boy; or it may be fond
wife, whose heart will almost burst with
grief as she views the destruction of her
idol or it may be loving sister, who
will shed bitter tears over the degrade
ton of her brother, shorn of his manli-
ness and self-respect. Rather drop q
tear in silent sympathy with those hearts
SO keenly sensitive and tender, yet SO
proud and loyal that they cannot accept
sympathy rendered them either in word,
look, or act, although it might fall upon
their crushed and wounded hearts as
refreshingly as the summer dew upon
the whitening plant.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Appointments by the President: Michael
Schoeffer, Chief Justice of the Supreme court
of Utah Territory; Elisha P. Ferry, Governor
of Washington Territory; Joseph G. Wilson.
Collector of Internal Revenue for Colorado.
The Cabinet have directed Secretary of War
Taft to instruct the military commander along
the Rio Grande to prevent the insurgent troops
in the Mexican States along that river from
levying forced loans upon American residents
Of Mexican towns, and to enforce this order
if it Is necessary-te cross the river and pro-
tect them by force. 1t is not improbable that
this may occasion trifing disturbances on the
border.
The treasury began paying out silver coin
on the 18th of April and the first to avail
themselves of the order were the treasury en-
ployes, who formed in line at the cash-room
and procured silver in exchange for fractional
currency.
A Washington dispatch says Since the re-
ceipt of the letter from Representative Barney
Caulfeld, saying: stThere are no charges
made or proven against you, and you stand be-
fore us with the fullest exoneratioa OF even
suspicion, Secretary Bristow says he will not
press his demand for an investigation OF the
story connecting him with the alleged seizure
of distlleries at Louisville, ard the subsequent
payment of money to him by the distillers to
secure their release.
The Post-office appropriation bill has been
agreed upon. The amount is 1888, 900, 900,
about SO, 500, 900 less than last year.
The Commissioners of internal Revenue by
direction of the President, has written Super
visor Hedricks, of Iowa, asking his resigna-
ton.
| Quite strong pressure has been brought to
bear upon Atty. Gen. Pierrepontto induce him
to favorably consider petitions for the pardon
of ex-Collector Mcguire and ex-Chief- Clerk
| Avery, who are under sentence for connection
with the st. Louis whisky ring, and to recon-
mend the President to grant the pardons.
Bids for nearly six millions in five per cent.
United States bonds-the proceeds of which
are to be applied in payment of claims under
the Geneva award-were opened at the Treas
ury department last week. The premium
offered ranged from 1925 to 1878 per $100-a
rate which exhibits reasonably healthy cent?
| dence among capitalists in the credit of the
| Government.
! The Appropriations Committee of the House
of Representatives have adopted schedule of
compensation for postmasters of the second,
third and fourth classes, by which saving of
| 5000, 900 year is expected to be made.
