Fresh Air For the Poor.

Nearly enough has been received for the city missionary's fresh air fund. Among those who have recently contributed are Mr.
 R. s. Fellowes, Prof. Henry w. Farnam, Messrs, ,Kohn & Aal, Dr. Dubois and the mem bers of the Davenport church Sabbath school About $50 more will be sufficient to send into the country those who have been selected as most in need of the benefit this year, and also to give to mothers and chil- dren who cannot well go far from home the refreshing enjoyment of day at the west shore. Smaller gifts are acceptable together with the larger amounts for this purpose
 and children as we'll as their older friends may in this way have the pleasure of becom
 ing helpers to the poor. The small addi
 tional amount needed for use this season will doubtless soon be sent to the Mission House, No. g Church street. MT. Mossman suggests, however, that most of those whose sympathies are aroused in this direction should send their subscriptions to the com mittee who are now making collections for the steamboat excursion for the poor, as that will require the greatest outlay for expenses

An Authority on Umpirfng.


 Charley Daniels, of Hartford, one of the association umpires, has been interviewed by a reporter on the way base ball umpires are treated by the players and the public. He says:
 know that all umpires make mistakes, and the reason they do sosis because they are hu- man beings, liable to err when earnestly | striving to do right, and not because they are partial or dishonest. I know all the um- pires in both the league and the association, and feel sure that every one of them wants l to do justice to each of the contending clubs. The position is an exacting and unpleasant one to fill, as I well know, having been an umpire since 1874, with the exception of 1881. and if a man occupy ing it does not go straight as a matter of policy and regardless of principle, he will quickly destroy all his chances in any kind of business. He will surely be found out, and that will settle him in base ball circles and out of them. I know I make mistakes After deciding close points according to my best judgment I frequently ask the players affected by them whether was right or wrong After the game is over they will generally tell me truthfully if I was right or wrong. If have made a mistake am glad to have them tell me so, because it will make me more careful the next time similar case occurs. I have given up trying to please. both clubs and the crowd, because don't think the man lives that can do so. When ever any dissatisfaction is shown over de- cision that have rendered go right along and pay no attention to it.
