Question for DR.. Lyman Abbott.

CDR. Lyman Abbott tells us that
prohibitory laws cannot be exc
cuted until you have the senti-
ment of two thirds or three fourths
of the people back Of them, | ask
DR.. Abbott if that is all that is
necessary to execute them-if he
really believes that to have the
sentiment Of the people on the
right side is all that is required {?
Then why is it that the laws
against selling liquor to minors and
drunkards are not enforced? Surely
no man is so lost to shame as not
to oppose it! The vilest rumseller
In the country would not dare stand
up before the people and declare
against the principle of those laws.
Yet they are not enforced, and, we
are told, they cannot be enforced.
DIR. Abbott, you are wrong, Favor
able public sentiment is not all
that is required No; that public
sentiment must have a party be-
hind it! Tremendous applause ]
And | say, God help to bring about
such reorganization of parties as
will put a hilt to the sword of
public sentiment! Renewed APP
plause. If that happens, the
sword will be used and if it does
not happen-why, we shall see
what we shall see-JoseDh Cook. IN

Girls Swimming i'm Honduras.

Honduras Correspondence Chicago Times.
Daily bathing is in this country an al
most universal0custom. Many of the ma
tives go to the rivers bordering the city for
their bath, as they do for the water to sup
ply the daily needs of the place. The
water has during the last two or three
centuries been carried in red clay jars
perched on the heads of women and
children, or in the wooden-headed,
leathern-sided pouches SUNG one On each
side, on burros, or on the little mules of the
country. It is likely that the fate of this
ancient custom is sealed, for President Bog
ran has ordered the surveys for water works
that will give Tegucigalpa supply of what
it needs sadly-an ample supply of pure
water at small coSt-and if one would en-
JOY the bathing he should go early in the
morning down to the ancient bridge
of heavy masonry spanning the Rio
Grande and connecting Teguelgalph with
is suburb, Comayagula. There, leaning
upon the brick parapet. he will look down
upon the swift current, where the brown
backs of the girls glisten in the sunshine,
as the water streams from their wealth of
hair-long, wavy and glossy in its black
ness-as they rise from dive into the
limpid pools. Skillful swimmers they are.
and fearless, as Is meet, for they have
practiced since they were big enough to
walk. Broad of back and strong of Shout
der, full and round of limb and of body,
straight in line from arm-pit to hip, and
supply in every motion, they are fine spec-
mons of humanity, possessing a free and
natural grace that no woman of pinched-in
waist can hope to nearly equal. These
girls who battle thus publicly are rather free
of speech at times, tits said, and Of con-
duct; but that may be SANDER.

THE WRESTLING MATCH.
Capt. James Daily and Matsada So
ra iSicIai ia n Mixed TE.sfcE,

The much-talked-of mixed wrestling
match between Capt. James DAILY
of Broadway Square, New York, and
Matsada Sorakichi, the Jap, will occur in
Market hail, Minneapolis, this evening.
Both men are in prime condition and the
fight will be for blood The Jap is too
well known to need anything like graphic
description. He is little giant, and will
never hlppodrome. He is always in condi-
ton, but he has studied to put himself in
extraordinary shape for Daily. His Min
neapolis matches have been Greco-Roman,
save the one with Adon Butler, and then he
had snap, and had, consequently, no OPP
portunity to give an exhibition of prowess
and cunning in that style. Tonight he
will wrestle both styles, and the styles of
the odd fall is to be decided by
toss. When Capt. DAILY came to
Minneapolis he weighed $50 pounds. He
had no difficulty in getting on match with
the Jap, and at once went into training
for the event. His system is so thorough
that he has su cceeded in knocking off the
surplus thirty pounds. so that he will step
into the arena tonight at just 200 pounds.
This weight handicaps the plucky little Jap
just forty-two pounds, which is no small
item. Yet the Jap is confident Of success.
He claims to have won one match from
the giant captain and says there is no ap-
parent reason why he should not be able to
repeat the dose.

THE TURNER'S, PICNIC.
Five Thousand Persons Spend the
Day at Germanfa Park.


To say that the Turner'S picnic at Ger
mania park yesterday was brilliant sue
cess, but i'll describes the enthusiasm which
reigned everywhere. and then overfowed,
not finding room to spread itself conven-
iently. The handsome grounds had been
arranged in the best possible shape, and the
first train at 11:30 o'clock brought some
700 or 500 people to the lake. Train after
train stopped at the crossing, and as each
crowd came rushing in, Mr.. Fl. A. West
phal's eyes began to bulge to some slight
extent. He had expected large number,
but 5000 was far beyond his calculation,
hence his establishment.
The larger number of turner's and their
friends came to the grounds on the first
train, and marched to the lake behind
DanZ' band. One or two police officers
also strolled leisurely along with the crowd.
Arriving at the grounds the various socie-
ties encamped in various parts OF the grove
and set up their banners accordingly. The
numerous small boats on the lake were in
active demand. and soon the smooth sur
face was dotted with them. Young men
took out their SWeethearts, old gentlemen
padded around with their wives, and even
the little ones caught the Infection and
went shooting around the lake. DanZ'
band, in pavilion on ''Bismarck's knoll, -
made the surrounding hills resound with
popular German and American airs. and
for the nonce made the park seem almost
like an enchanted one.
THE SPORTS.
The exhibition OF turning, etc.. began at
Q O'Clock, under the direction of Prof. Kin
dervater. They consisted of swimming
matches, jumping, high kicking, throwing
the weight and similar diversions. The
games were the finest given for some time
and showed a remarkable degree of prof.
cheney among all the turner's. The class OF

Common Sense and Common sleep.

Common Sense and Comm mon sleep.
Fortnightly Review.
Excitement, worry and anxiety, which
have their seat in the brain, interfere
with the functions of the stomach, and
in like manner anything that unduly
taxes the power or irritates the stom-
ach disorders the circulation and nutri-
ton of the brain. The sleeplessness often
complaided by equity persons is due to
the poisonous effect of the morbid ma
terial upon the nervous system. Excess
sive smoking, too much alcohol tea and
coffee, often resorted to by overworktd per-
sons, are frequent causes of sleeplessness.
In all these cases the cause is removable,
while the effect may be counteracted by
appropriate treatment. Nothing is more
mlschievous, however, than to con-
tinue the habits and to have recourse
to drugs to combat the effects A due
amount of exercise tends to induce normal
sleep. and such exercise need not be of
| a violent character. A walk of two or
three miles daily is sufficient and is, per-
haps, as much US busy man can find
time for. A ride on horseback, the Pal
| merSton cure for govt, is probably the
best form of exercise for those whose
minds are continually at work. It has
been well said that a man must come out of
himself when he is in the saddle; he is
forced to attend to his horse and to notice
the objects he meets. Walking may be
| merely automatic process, and afford little,
if any. relief to the mind, and carriage
exercise may be practically valueless if the
mind is not diverted from what had pre-
viously occupied it.

A Story of u king In a Trap.

Cassells Magazine.
The first autograph one sees in the Bod
leian library is wonderful piece of paper.
1t transports us to the council chamber of
Charles H., the king, at one end of the
long table. and the president, Edward
Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, the historian of
the great rebellion, at the other, with my
lords of the council ranged on
either side. Suddenly page is
beckoned by the king to bear a small
sheet OF paper to the earl. Is it query
about the dissolution of parliament or the
dismissal of high officer of state? Not eX-
actly. 1t bears, written near the top:
81 would willingly make a visit to my
sister at Tunbridge for a night or
two at furthest. When do you think
1 can best spare that timer" The
earl gravely replies on the same. paper,
81 know no reason why you may not for
such TYNE e nights 60 the next weeke,
about Wensday or Thursday, and returne
TYNE enough for the adjournment, which
yet out to be the weeke following" adding
as an afterthought, Il suppose you will go
with light Trayne." Now that the
king sees his way to spend a night
or two tout of town." he is jocose,
and sends the page back with the right
royal reply: ST intend to take nothing but
my night-bag," the answer to which is:
Yes. you will not go without forty or fifty
horse" Now. however, the kings paper
and patience are equally at an end, and has
only room to answer: Il counte that parte
of my night-bag." Such is the document,
and such are some other state papers in the
same volume, but does it not admit us to
the very council room and show us the king
as he is?

ssThunderer', ON American Affairs.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
After reading the London Times COM
ments OH Mr.. Gladstone's defeat, as re-
ported in the Commercial Advertisers dis
patches yesterday, we were deeply inter-
ested to know precisely what the Times
notion of American machine politics may
happen to be. The London Times is
not much given to ludicity of
view with respect to things American. and
its conceptions of them are often interest
ing, not to say amusing. 1t is firmly per-
suaded that the ST. Louis election is chiefly
determined by the vote of the ex-Confeder-
ates in the state of Philadelphia; that the
cotton crop Of Montana is a principal factor
in the foreign trade of Bloomington. ILL.,,
and that Nh. Blaine, as vice presi-
dent, has kept Mr.. Clevelands adj
ministration from committing itself in
judiciously on the Peruvian fisheries
dispute. In brief, the notion entertained
by the London Times concerning American
affairs bear the marks of having been
acquired by diligent study of Mr.. Marion
Crawford's romance, called ''An American
Poltician,'a story in which United States
senator goes to the other end of the
capitol and takes part in an exciting
debate in the house of representatives, de-
livering an impassioned speech there and
turning the course of legislation from the
channel marked out for it by the appropri-
ate committee. Nobody who has read
both Mr.. Crawford and the London Times
can doubt that one is the disciple of the
other in this matter. though which is master
and which is pupil it is less easy to say.

To-day Duluth will come to Minneapolis,
and there is considerable interest in the
result of the game. Thus far, the Lucas
sluggers have had no difficulty in maintains
ing long lead, while two of the league,
Oshkosh and Eau Claire. have not vet won
a game against them. st. Paul and Mime
apolis have each won one, the Minneapolis
victory having been the first game of the
season on the home ground, and ST. Paul's
having been captured last Thursday
Milwaukee has beaten Duluth three out of
four games, and Minneapolis the same,
showing the real strength of the two
leading teams. If Minneapolis can win
against Duluth to-day her place in the
league will rapidly ascend. The prediction
is freely made that the GLOBES schedule
next Sunday Will show Minneapolis has
changed her place in the race.

draw the line at dog fights. Sport is
sport, but while there may be unbounded
excitement in seeing two dogs tear each
other in the presence of 500 bowling
toughs. there is certainly very little sport
IN the true sense of the term. Such eX-
hibitionS cause decent sport to fall into
disrepute and reflect indirectly upon even
so respectable sport as base ball. A man
may attend a bloody glove contest, a
sweaty wrestling match or even worse,
and not be ashamed to acknowledge it; but
none but the tougher element that saw yes
terday's dog fight would acknowledge they
were present. Cooking mains and dog
fights are twin relics, and I would never
mourn to see the authorities fall hard upon
them and at once.

To add to its attractions as a sporting
center, Minneapolis is this week to have
some tirst-class sprinting. Being novelty
among the other sports and being emphat-
ically a summer pastime, it will undOubt-
edly draw well and be bonanza for some
body. While none of the visiting runners
are of national reputation, some of them
have spread their fame beyond their own
immediate neighborhoods and are anxious
for new glory and more money.
