A BASE BALL SUGGESTION.

With the advent of the base ball sea-
son the following suggestion from the
Sentinel is "pat:"
The base ball season has fairly opened
in the States south of us and in few
weeks even this atmosphere will be filed
with fy-balls and with ugly epithets
hurled at the umpire the newspapers
will soon be filed with figures showing
how many 7 BIS and BIS and P O's and
other incomprehersible and alphabetical
things there were in The game there
will be long explanations of somebody's
muff and another bodys hot liner and
descriptions of still another body's won
derful curve-balls. The respectable
father of family, ordinarily sedate and
dignifed, will whoop and yell when the
visiting club is whitewashed and will
desire urgently q chance to whip the
umpire when the home club is defeated.
He will go home to his surprised family,
covered with dust and Precipitation and
with headache such as only sitting in
the sun and growing excited over game
Of ball, can create. The young woman
will sit on back seat and annoy her
devoted male companion by enthusiast
ers. Good young men, even Young
Mems Christian Association young men.
will be nagged into betting that some
body will be beaten in two innings. And
society will be more OF less demoralized.
But the saddest outlook is for the
umpire. The person who occupies this
important position is the most abused
person in the country not excluding
candidates for an elective Office. He is
charged with having sold himself, with
favoritism, with stupidity he is held
responsible for all bad plays he is re-
viled, be is hooted, old friends refuse to
recognize him, his own immediate fami-
ly snubs him after game, and finally
he is caught in dark alley and severely
pounded by the hirelings of a disappoint-
ed betting man. IF there is a reward
hereafter for martyrs, the umpire will
have clear title to all its benefits. But
there should be some relief even here
and method is indicated in recent
scientific achievements. a rubber man
might be constructed, with an exceptional
wealth of rubber under the coat tails,
and placedin the umpire's position, being
firmly attached to the ground SO that no
amount of kicking could entirely dis
lodge him. A vibratory membrane could
be stretched across his mouth and at
tached by wire to Bell telephone, the
latter to be held by the actual and I'M
known umpire concealed under the
reporters stand. From this secure
position rulings could be made into the
telephone and the audible announce
ment would proceed from the mouth Of
the rubber man who would then become
the victim, vicariously, of all the stones
and eggs and kicks. After the game,
the real but hidden umpire could crawl
from his position through a trap door,
and could ward of all suspicion by adj
ninistering few kicks himself to the
rubber man. In this way only, so far
as we can see, can rulings that are not
Influenced by partisan clamors, be Sc
sured.

LAST Saturday night when the alarm
Of fire was sounded, the steamer was run
out of the engine house promptly, and
earlier HAD not the street leading from

make their way through the mud-a

PoNTooN FOR RAISING SUNKEN YES
sELs.-An apparatus for raising sunken
vessels, which the inventor calls s'pon-
toon, was successfully exhibited at the
| foot of Woodward avenue, Detroit, on
Tuesday afternoon. The plan was SIM
liar TO, and suggested by the we'll known
practice of attaching empty casks to
submerged bodies, but is apparently
more feasible and scientific. The pom
toon consists of bladder shaped body,
| made of India rubber and canvas, band
ed with iron. When not inflated the
iron causes the whole to sink. After
being sunk and attached to the hull of
vessel the bladder is inflated, and Of
course seeks the surface of the water.
The model exhibited on Tuesday was
pontoon consisting of two bladders, each
four by eight inches, III one section. It
was sunk in sixteen feet of water, with
| sixty-fve pounds of iron attached, and,
by the application of a small air pump
in the hands of two men, brought to the
| surface in sixty five seconds. Accor-
| ding to this it is calculated that pom
| toon 4xS feet can raise fully 400 lbs.
A large pontoon, according to a well
known law, has greater proportion of
| power than a small one. The largest
made are Is feet long, and dozen of
! TEN on each side of q vessel would float
a very large body. One of the best fea-
lures of the pontoon is its convenience
for carrying. A vessel might stow away
a dozen or two of them in spare corner,
and with the help of an air pump, lift
itself off the rocks before help could
arrive or damage be done to her by severe
weather. To prevent bursting, each
pontoon has gauge which, acting like
safety valve, warns when sufficient
pressure is applied. The patentee is
Captain Foster, of Detroit, disabled
mariner, who. hosts of friends hope, viii
be successful with his invention. The
plan certainly has the promise Of merit
in it. and when the stormy season comes
and wrecks strew the beach, it will
doubtless be thoroughly tested.

Saturday night the large barn belonging
to Mrs. Hoes, on Franklin street near
the lake, was discovered 20 be burning,
and in spite of the prompt response of
the fire department to tie alarm, the
building was entirely destroyed. Among
the contents burned were some 600 fish
barrels, the property of Mr.. Sam Ran
dolph, which had been stored therein.
The barn and also the barrels, we under
stand, We're fully insured. No reasona-
bic cause for the origin OF the fire has
yet been advanced.

CLEAN up the streets. Since the dis
appearance of the snow the streets in

other rubbish are everywhere visible.
These should all be carried away at once,

and summer attire as soon as possible.

AMONG the passengers on the Alpena
yesterday was Mr.. Bart. B. Scott, a
member Of the Wisconsin Fish Commits

Rivers point, 100000 young white
fish, which, it is expected, will thrive
and re-populate the lake to a great extent.
MIR. Scott called at our Office and placed
us under obligations for much valuable

Now is the time when advertising col
umns begin to have fresh significance
and those who insert them make their
announcements more interesting than
they have been found in long time
before, especially in their unusual temp
tations thrown before the eyes of the
ladies. Goods are attractive and prices
are down. Well filled purses viii buy
more extended wardrobes than ever be-
fore since the war, and even in a scanty
pocket book there are very respectable
possibilities The advertisements are
by no means the least interesting part
of paper.

SPRUCE UP.-E you get a moment to
spare, spuce up i; put the gate on its
hinges put little paint on the picket
fence you built last season /; trim up the
door-yard make it coy aud inviting.
DO not say you can find no time to at
tend those things you have time. The
fact is, you have no right TO be slovenly.
1t can do you no good, but, on the con-
trary, 1t will mar your peace, wound
your self respect, and impair your credit.
Then, by all means, spruce up a little
at odd times, and at even times too, for
that matter. 1t will pay, even in a money
point OF view. When selling time comes
YOU will find it Quite.

Nor a snow storm for week, and
snow besieged, frost nipped, and wind
blasted humanity begins to feel the
warmth of thawed out smiles. Hearts
which have been stiffened by the woes
of most prolonged and lugubrious
winter may now swell to fullness and
hide the assures made by useless fret
tings against the weather. Wounded
warriors against unconquerable elements
can turn to closing the gaping crevices
of chapped and storm-warped hands, to
salving the taking nose or ear, frost
burnt by the audacity of fameless heat,
to binding up the chilblained heel in
unctuous rags,and to preparing to attune
the voice and chord the spirits TO a jubilee
over the reyeille of Natures elements.
Spring is with us. Her orchestra is
pitching up the fiddles, comets, from
bones, and other ''fxings' of the longed
for chorus, and men and women are
ready to study show and shows.

JOHN BARTEL, q farmer residing III the
town of Kiel, Manitowoc county, died a
few days since from the effect Of blood
poisoning, caused by the accidental in
oculation of virus from a horse which
had the epizootic. Bartel ran splinter
into the middle right hand, finger and
before the wound, which amounted to
nothing more than slight scratch, had
healed, administered a gargle to the
animal suffering from the epizootic,
never dreaming of any danger. A few
days later the wounded finger became
badly infamed, and notwithstanding
every effort to check it, the inflammation
rapidly spread through the arm, face
and vital parts, causing his death after
suffering excruciating fortunes. He was
attended by resident physician named
Martin, and DR.. Breining, Of this city,
who pronounced it clear case Of blood
poisoning. This fatality should prove
a warning to all farmers who are called
upon TO administer to the relief of sick
animals. -1fiLa0aukee Times.
