Perseps going out Of tom for the summer can
Iavs the Daily and Sunday TRIBUNE mailed
b them for $1.0O per month, or $3.50 for
three months Travellers in Europe can rece're
THE TRIBUNE during their absence for

be changed as often as desired.
The account published to-day of the fine out
ing which 800 Fresh-Air children are enjoying
at Malone ought to spur many Of THE TRIB-
UNE's readers to do something-even If only
little-toward giving many more equally needy
and equally deserving children chance to en-
Joy a similar holiday. The condition of the
Fresh-Air Fund was fully described yesterday
Money is needed. and needed at once or else
the children who are ready to go and for whom
homes for two weeks have been opened cannot

The fire that killed IL 0 horses yesterday was
allowed to gain great Roadway through the
stupidity of a Waterman. A prompt alarm
would have given the fremen q chance to put
out the flames and thus have prevented much
Of the loss The Waterman lost his wits and,
instead of summoning the fremen, ran to his
many other watchmen are there in the city who
in an emergency would be utterly at loss how
to proceed? A similar piece Of folly may some
time cost number of human lives. People
who put their trust in watchmen would do well
to inquire as to their ability to do the right
thing in crisis.
There are signs of Democratic thickness and
double dealing in Montana, which some crank
wants to make Democratic by naming it Jeffer-
son. This is the only one of the four new
States on which the Democrats are building
hopes and the foundation they are building on
there seems narrow and shaky. Evidently there
will be some spirited contests before the con-
yention adjourns. The Republicans of Montana
probably know their nights and will not submit
to any schemes intended to deprive them of
anything they arc entitled to. At any rate,
they will not submit without struggle or with
ont letting all the facts be known
new departure in baseball was witnessed in
Jersey City yesterday. 1t was silent
game. Instead of the customary yells and
cheers, there were only hOarSe whispers and
an energetic pantomme. When the game
was over the eighteen players were marched TO
a police court and fined 81 each Thus the
majesty of the violated law was vindicated,
while the Sabbath stiffness of Jersey City was
not violated by the noise that has commonly
been supposed to be inseparable from baseball
The game was duly played, but the proceedings
as whole were farcica; the pollce-court part
not the least so. There is no demand or neces-
sity for sunday baseball in this part Of the
country. The laws forbid it and they should be
obeyed. To conduct a game in quietness and
10 subject the players to nominal fine is simply
bringing the law into contempt. Suppress the
play promptly and effectually.
Some members of the Board Of Education are
disposed TO take heroic measures in dealing with
the extrayagant awards for school house sites
One of the proposed sites is at Mulberry and
BayaId SITS The estimated cost Of this was
$4,000. The commissioners award is 81 3D.
900. TO which must be added the commissioners
expenses, probably $4,000 OF $4,000; so that
the total cost will exceed the estimate bv about
