Athletic Training,

Some Of tho newspapers have entered
largely into details in regard to the training
Of college boys for their annual races. This
might have been news thirty years ago when
the people Of the country generally knew so
little Of athletic sports. Those were the days
of professional trainers, who were supposed
to possess valuable secrets, Everybody ought
to know at the present time what this train
ing is. II is not the teachings of the old
professionals, but simply the observance of
tho known laws of health Regular hours
for rising, for going to bed, and for meals
and exercise, plenty of nutritious food such
as beef, mutton, and ont meal, with fruits
and desserts thrown in If wanted. To these
may be added vigorous, but not overtaxing
or exhaustive, exercise daily, and we have
about all there is in training Any ono who
has trained once is qualified to teach
Others Professional trainers are usually ig-
norant fellows, and often do more harm than
good by their antiquated rules and absurd
traditions. Dutch Sam las hewas called) put
his subjects on course Of gin, and Tom Cribb
was once cudgcled for eating a turnip during
his preparation. Strong constitutions may
stand the practices of these old rules of train
ing, but weak ones are likely to be impaired
under them. 1t is n mistake to suppose that
men or animals become large and stout as a
result of frequent training. Hanlan has
trained regularly every year since he was a
mere youth, and he is scarcely over medium
size. Parole has run and trained oftener than
any other horse in America, and yet he is a
thin and ragged looking animal. 1t is after
all question of the merest natural living
and common sense, aud in no wise does it in
sure physical beauty.

AS TO Malaria.

Washington people hear great deal of
idle talk about malaria, and occasionally q
family crosses tho ocean to escape the
dreaded evil here and spend summer in
Europe, and not unfrequently locate in Italy.
The Ital au minister of war has just is
sued a report on the subject of malaria in
Italy, accompanied by statistical map show
ing the position of the malarial districts and
their relative standing as respects danger of
infection. OF the sixty-nine provinces of
the kingdom only six are found to be free
from malaria. Statistics show that 10000
soldiers arc affected annually at a cost to the
government of 100000. Tho report also
shows that the prevalence of malaria throws
many persons out of employment and pre-
vents tho cultivation of large tracts Of land.
The malarial tendency is found to be greatly
cavations bringing to the surface so much
fresh and damp soil. These arc things worthy
attention. NIalarial tendencies are really
slight in any part of this country, as COM
pared with any parts of the south of Europe,
or many places in the north, But of all
places in which these tendencies are grossly
exaggerated this city is o most maligned.
Washington is not malarious. 1t has suited
the convenience of large class to charge
whatever disorders might atllict them to the
flats of The Potomac, and in that way this
most false and injurious impression has gotten
abroad. The physicians know better, and SO
do the people who healthily reside, year
in and year out, in the very thick and middle
of the neghborhoods which are most freely
charged with being infectious,

Another Duel Coming.

New York is more or less amused over
sudden outbreak of the duelling fever there,
the persons seized of it being Mr.. John
Amory Knox, editor of Teras Siftings, and
D. B. Sheahan, a sculptor. These gentlemen
foil out at a dinner given (at the expense of
Mr. Knox in Fourteenth street rcstau-
rant Mr.. Sheahan having flown from strong
drink to strong language which he
made personally applicable to Mr..
Knox. Mr.. Knox, who has a rep
utaton to maintain-as man from
Texas and the author of many mule stories
retorted by daring Mr.. Sheahan to come out
and kill or be killed. Mr.. Sheahan took this
bloody dare. and spent all the next day
drinking beer and practicing at a target
At 6 o'clock Wednesday evening he
shook dice with a friend to determine
what disposition should be made of his
somewhat corpulent remains in case Knox
should do for him; and Immediately upon
the settlement of that question proceeded to
Jersey City, in order to elude the New
York police" From this secure retreat he
has not yet emerged nor been dragged,
so that the duel is still pending,
and is likely to pend until it passes out by
the way of cold neglect, for Mr.. Knox seems
to be in no hurry to follow. The truth Is,
and possibly both these gentlemen will real
ize it when they become sober enough,
that duelling is sometimes inconve-
nient, because now and then man
gets hurt at it--and to be hurt is exceedingly
unpleasant. If honor must be satisfied by
an encounter, such an event might possibly
be brought about if the seconds (of whom
there are several scores) would agree to have
it fought on the Daniel Webster plan-with a
bucket of slops and two mops.

Freedom OF the Press.

The barbarous punishment recently in
hicted on an editor in one of the South Ameri-
can states is an evidence that all tho world
has not yet moved away from the civilization
of the dark ages.
The censorship Of tho press owes its origin
TO the Pope In l496 Alexander vi estab-
lished regular censorship, and in 1915 Leo
X increased its power and greatly enlarged
its jurisdiction. The famous Inde1 Librorum
Prohibiorum was fully sanctioned by tho
council of Trent in 1862 AID con-
tinued by the papal curia This re-
suited in great efforts in Italy, Spain,
France, Germany, and England for the sup
preston of the FREQ discussion of religious
subjects. In 1922 Cardinal Chioregati de-
mandcd Of the diet of Nuremberg that all
books published without ecclesiastical exami
nation and permission should be seized and
burned, and severe penalties were inflicted
by the inquistion on persons who read or
owned hcretical books. The secular govern
ments followed and enforced compliance
with these ecclesiastical orders, and the
secular censorship of the press became at
once the most effective of all the means en-
ployed by royal power to suppress popular
will and movements. Its exercise in England
was characterized by great arbitrariness and
barbarity; violations of the edicts were pun
ished in many instances by offenders having
their hands, noses, or ears cut of.
1t is to her credit that England was the
first country in which freedom of the press
was actually established, and it still remains
one of the countries in which this liberty is
well understood and most advantageously
practced.
The censorship which was established by
Henry VIII was transferred from the star
chamber to parliament, but abolished by
the house of commons in 1893. In Germany
it was introduced as a law in 1929 by the
diet of Spires, but existed in very loose
form, changing from time to time in different
states The congress of Vienna determined to
In 1Si0 it was discarded, but reappeared in
1854; but on the establishment of the German
empire in 1870 it finally vanished, though
the freedom of the press is not in the German
empire what enlightened people the world
over would like to sec it.
In France freedom of the press was intro
duced in 1793 1914, $780, lslS, and 1871 sue
cessively, but restrictive measures against
newspapers and other publications have becn
to some extent continued. In Russia alone

ship of the press still exists. The wise men
who gave us our constitution were careful to
insert in the organic law provision which
gives to our people absolute freedom of the
press. To this, as much US to any other cause
are we indebted for our unparalleled pros
perity and growth, and for the fact that oul
people have more general intelligence than
any other on the face of the habitable globe

LIILerilo.

In tho northern part of the territory of
Montana there is a small cattle rancho, and
the house of its owner, though somewhat
humble in appearance is the seat OF geuer-
Gus hospitality to all travellers who pass that
way. The owner and proprietor Of this place
is NJ. Luzerne, n Frenchman and n mem
ber of the distinguished family of that name,
which all Americans should remember with
gratitude. The Chevalier Luzernc, who was
a distinguished officer in the French army,
was sent as minister to this country as sue
cessor TO NJ, Gerard in l776, lie resided
in Philadelphia for four years. In 1850 he
contracted loan on his own responsibility
for the relief of the suffering American army.
In 1882, through his influence, postpone
ment of the ratification of the treaty of peace
between this country and Great Britain was
obtained until the treaty between the latter
country and France was ratified.
He returned to France bearing the most
honorable testimonials of esteem from con-
gress and from distinguished American citi-
zens. Harvard college conferred upon him
the now much coveted degree OF IL, d., and

The Hill investigation was resumed yester-

The inquiry into the Bartlett, Robbins &
Co. case was resumed.
Mr.. Coleman introduced copy of a letter

vouchers for extra iron work on the New

J. NJ. Wilbur was next recalled Had
placed the illuminated tiling in the Now

work performed by Bartlett, Robbins Co.
Two machinists were employed for one-half
day in reftting the tiling, but the bill charged

because he was about to do the work HIMSELF
so as to allow his tiling to be laid If there
had been any extra work In addition to what
he saw it must have been done aftor working
hours, and then he would have noticed it.
Mr.. Coleman read from superintendent
Oakshott's report recommendation that the
above mentioned be disallowcd, because the
same work was charged for in another voucher
as q separte item.
All of the papers connected with the con-
struction of the heating apparatus in the
Chicago postollice were then called for by Mr..
Coleman.
Mr.. Totten replied with an argument at
tacking the suiiiciency of the sixth charge
relating to heating apparatus, TO which Mr..
Coleman rejoined at some length. Chairman
New criticised the prosecution for their full
ure to prepare their case before the sessions of
the commission.
Mr.. Coleman replied that the defense held
all of the essential papers.
Mr.. Totten said that Mr.. Dixon. of the Dix
Island Granite company, would like to be
heard in answer TO the reflections made upon
that company's connection with the Phila-
delphia granite contracts, and the commission
agreed to hear the gentleman on Friday,

tect's Office, told how tho plans for heating
apparatus were prepared. For the large
buildings the plans were prepared by persons
not in government employ.

Distrcsa In Madeira.

The usual meteorological sequence in Ma
deria, rain during the winter months, and
fair, settled weather by the first of May, has
been reversed during the past season, the
winter months being dry and clear, while the
month of May was very wet. The result, it
was anticipated, would be to a large degree
the failure of tho potato and bean crops, the
principal reliance of the people. The wine
crop, it was also thought, would be poor and
short.

ever, that the tax due upon the spirits at the

turn to this country. A complete copy of the
