DO AwSy with Unfair Umpires.

In speaking of recent base ball game
iu Philadelphia, where the umpire hg-
nred most too corspiculously, au ex-
change says:
The prosperity and continuance OF
base bail organizations depends entirely
upon the public patronage and those
clubs who play good games OF oall
will be the most successful cl ubs imam
cially, whether they win or lose. The
average spectator wLo pays an admls-
sion Tee to see a contest between two
clubs is entitled to have the game de-
ided ;,pon the merits of the players,
subject to an intelligent Interpretation
of the rules by the umpire. When q
game is played under such conditions
an a,imirer of defeated club can take
consolation from knowledge that the
game was fairly lost. Bat his enjoy
ment of contest should not be destroy
ed by the absurd and foolish umpiring
like that Of Mr.. Van Court in the
gam es recently played at Recreation
Park. His temperament and mentai
defects unfit him for such responsible
position and to continue to intiict up
on the base ball public an umpire
whose incapacity is concealed by such
men as Captain Anson and Manager
Harry Wright, and which is apparent
to the veriest trio, will inevitably re-
suit in the attendance at the games
growing beautiful lily less. Last years
experience demonstrated to The satls-
faction of every body--except, it seems I,
Secretary Young-that this amateur
umpire business was a great mistake
1t should be corrected before it is too

Campaign Gossip.

Senator Logan said at Washington
on Wednesday that the published
statement of his intention to attend the
Republican convention and manage his
own cause was entirely devoid of truth
and was the invention of his enemies.
He said he had not the least intention
of going to Chicago while the conven-
ton was in progress.
Stephen b. Elkins, ex-Delegate in
Congress from New Mexico, and one OF
the ablest and most influential friends
of Blaine, met Secretary Chandler in
the Capitol Wednesday afternoon and
had q good .natured tilt with him on the
subject of his apostacy from Blaine to
Arthur. He said to Mr.. Chandler
that the Blaine men at Chicago would
not only plant him but would plow him
! under so deep that he would never
rise again. Both Mr.. Elkins
and Mr.. Chandler will be at
Chicago, the former In the van of the
Blaine column, where he has always
been, and the latter in charge OF one
of the Arthur contingents. Mr.. Chand
Ter, despite the prophecy of Mr.. Elkins
hopes to have better luck with Arthur
than he has had with Blaine. Mr.
Elkins says the Blaine men will make
a more gallant fight than ever before
and he Is of the opinion that the new
recruits will more than make up for th'
deserters. He says Blaine Is the choice
of the Republicans of the country, /
not of the office holders and the corrup
Southern delegations. He will stick t.
Blaine while there is the least hope, bu
after Blaine he is for Logan. He say
the most heinous charge that can b.
brought against Logan is that HI
mang les the English language, and a.
most of the American people do thu
same thing this is nothing very dread

Electricity A ARaetink Watches.

Fine, sensitive watches are particu-
larly liable to be affected by electrical
atmospheric disturbances. During
the months of June, July and August,
when these phenomena are most
frequent, there are more mainsprings
broken than during all the remaining
months of the year. They break in IA
variety Of ways, sometimes swapping
into as many as twenty seven pieces
/ is a fact that since the introduction
of the electric light has become so
general, u large number OF watches,
some of them very fine ones, have be-
come magnetized.
While in this condition they are USE
loss as timekeepers. This defect used
to be considered incurable, and because
OF IT thousands Of watches have been
thrown away, after much money had
been spent on them in vain attempts to
persuade them to keep good time.
Among the methods resorted to were
washing the parts in garlic juice, rein
ishing and passing them through the
fire. But all these devices were entire
failures, Or only partly effective.
| A man who had fine and valuable
movement, which kept excellent time,
transferred it from a silver case to a
second. han / gold one. Immediately II
lost al its characteristics of steadiness
and reliability, and in fact, did moi
keep time at all. When replaced in the
silver case it kept good time again
The owner, q jeweller, puzzled him
self and dexperimented in vain to dis
cover the cause of this strange par
tiality on the part of his watch for sill
yer.
At length lie sent it to an expert
He discovered that the lifting spring
of the gold case had become magne
tized On substituting another for Il
the watch kept as good time In the golt
case as in the silver case. Watch~
frequently get magnetized in iroI
mines or machine shops whore they ar
incautiously brought near swiftly run
ming belts.
It is a well.known fact among horolo
gists, that no watch will keep the san
time with two people. The cause ha
not yet been definitely ascertained, bn
it would seem that in some mysterion
way watch is affected by the tenn
perament of the wearer. The mer
physical difference in gait and move
ment between different people Is no
sufficient to account for all the varia
tions that have been observed.

| Ellenor Scowdrick was called to the

evidence being taken, on the ground
that she could not testify for her hus'
band.
| His objection was overruled by the
Court, when she was sworn and testi.
fled that she had paid the plaintiff
money Oh account Of the mortgage on
several occasions, amounting in the ag
pregate to $500 This witness was
also subjected to searching cross,ex'
animation, but was finally allowed to
leave the stand few minutes after
lO'clOck.
Three other witnesses were examined
TO prove that certain notes which had
passed between the parties had beer
paid, and Mr.. HOffecker then said he
would rest his case .
Mr.. Biggs then called Charles E

tai, and at the close of their examina
ton Court adjourned until 10 O'Clock
this morning. The first panel OF petit
Jurors except those empaneled on the
