SOME SICK NOTABLES.

SnlllEbury Failing while Glndnt0Ho ThrtveS'
An Unfortunate Duchess.
LONDON, July 99.-Lord Salisbury's
health is poor and unequal to the strain
put upon it. His position is much too
great for his ability, and he doubtless
begins to feel it. 1t is rather hard on
the Tories who long openly for Glad
stones breakdown. 1t Is aggrayating TO
see him in constant good health, while
their own bushy whiskered champion
gives way. One OF the most noticeable
things in English society to-day is the
extreme heat OF political partisanship
and the absolute hatred Of Gladstone
expressed everywhere in Tory circles.
Mr.. Depew said it was the feature which
had most struck him in English society,
To-day the greatest sympathy is ex-
pressed for the Duchess Paul OF Mech
ienburgh.SChwerin. The unfortunate
lady while driving to Marlborough
House was seized with premature pains
and had to be carried in to the house OF
DR.. Laking, who lives directly opposite
the Prince Of Wales, and for a long time
she was believed TO be dying. She lies
in a critical condition, having been re-
moved yesterday to Marlborough House,
and the thousands Of cab horses which
rush around st. James street and Pail
Mall still wade up to their knees in
straw. The Duchess mishap is the re-
suit OF severe chill. The Kindness oi
heart OF the Princess OF Wales was shown
on this as on many other occasions. She
remained all night at the bedside OF her
friend, who is not yet out OF danger,
owing to the wet, Changeable weather.

This application of Darwin's great
theory to commercial competition is more
than a parable 1t ie the scientific expla-
nation of causes which have wrecked

them in Che future. The struggle must

sire for greater profusion Of what sus-
tains life or makes it happier. II often

The discovery of the passage round the
Cape transferred the trade of the east
from the Mediterranean to London and

mercial success of Switzerland, however,
proves that national characteristics are at
least as important as geographical posi-
ton, and it is well from time to time to
ask If we are doing all that in us lies to
train those who shall follow us to main
tain what our predecessors have won.--

Under the title the sContagiousness Of
Murder NJ. Aubry has published an
elaborate thesis, in which, among other
things, ~ argues that the relation Of q
crime reproduced with minute details by
the press, frequently leads to series Of
crime, the means OF execution OF which
are copied from the same crime type.
He believes these cases to be cases Of
veritable initiative contagion.
OF course the plea OF insanity cuts It's
usual exaggerated figure in this DISGUISE

necessary to constitute an epidemic 0f
murder are given as suggestion, imito.

The loquacious BARRIERS now and then
have intervals when they remark incl
dents that escape the attention of many in
the tear and rush Of life. 'sYou sleep on

blonde hair Of customer. Why Be
cause don't you see that your hair is
thicker on the right than on the left side2

toner sleeps. The heat is confined to.4he
side Of the head resting on the pillow, and
that heat makes the hair grow thicker

1t is my experience that = conscientious
newspaper man win do his work-inter-
viewing included--about right if the man
who has the news to give win only let
him. Reporters don't wilfully and ma
liciously misquote takers and misstate
facts, a. they are SO generally credited
with doing, and find that the best plan
to pursue in giving material for puhlica-
ton is to state the facts clearly and let
the reporter do the dressing up. These
fellows who always insist on being re-
ported verbatim, and who must dictate
the text Of every item they furnish, in
varIably make b sorry mess of il. An
other thing I've noticed; II man has a
speech prepared for q banquet, presenta-
ton or any occasion Of that character, he
had better give the reporter the manu-
script and so it blind than trust himself
to stick to his prepared speech, for, nine
times in ten, he'll get away from his

case he'll thank his stars forever that the

Buffalo's Negro Ball Player.

Grant, the colored second baseman Of
the Buffalos, is the only negro playing
professionally with any club in the diff
ferent associations. He is o fine ball
tosser, all tho same, and hasn't many
superiors among players either white or
black. / think he gets $500 q year for
his services, while, If he had white
skin, he could easily demand $4,000.
Grant is very popular in Buffalo, and
for that reason the management is forced
to hold him, although the players OF the
club are said to feel keenly having to
play with colored man: In the East
Grant goes with the other members Of
the club, stops at the same hotels, eats
at the same table and possibly occupies
the same room. While in this city he
is registered at the Gulf House, but is

his meals with them. In this club is
found two of the oldest ball-tossers be-
fore the public. Nelson, who has been
playing ball for thirty years, is holding
