Base Ball and Heart Disease.
From the PHILADELPHIA Inouirer.

rTOHt Ite ItttuGetpHtu inquirer.
A prominent physician is impressed with the
idea that the great national game of base ball
produces heart disease, and gives an interesting
comparison of sports from the hygienic point of
view. The trouble with base bali is in the run
ming. Now take the batsman who has been
resting on the bench awaiting his turn His
heart is beating leisurely until he makes a hit.
Then suddenly he starts and runs with all his
might to first base. The muscular forces of the
heart is at once overwhelmed with the enormous
demand upon it, By the time it gets up
vigorous action the demand ceases, when the
runner reaches his base. Then another terrible
rush to second and so on. The re-
suit is that the heart is taught to act
in fits and jerks and thumps and spasms Con
traSt the effect of this sport on the heart with
the work OF the scientific runner. He starts
around the track quietly, with measured step,
and breathes and moves every part as regularly
as a clock. The heart responds gradually in
creasing its vigor and developing it's power of
action to the highest point But these dashing
runs cannot but be harmful. The batsman who
makes a home run is nearly always ready to
fall down exhausted when he reaches the home
plate. The greatest fault with gymnasium ex-
ercises in general is that they do not reach the
heart as they should Rowing is another splendid
exercise on that account The control of the
breath and the hearts action should be the
most important scientific consideration in
sport, and in game like base ball, l am sorry
to say, the conditions do not favor that control

Hopeful and Courageous.

The interviews which the MORNING News
/ published yesterday with business men reia-
tive to the effect of the fire upon the bust
ness and prosperity of the city show that
there is no feeling Of encouragement, but
that on the contrary everybody regards
business prospects as very promising, and
the future of Savannah as exceedingly
bright. No effort was made to seek favor
able opinions. Those whom the reporters
happened to meet were questioned, and as
all of them are representative men, and
come into close contact with the people, it
is quite certain that they expressed the
general sentiment Of the city.
1t is gratifying that the feeling that the
entire damage will be quickly repaired is so
strong, and that the sufferers by the dis
aster have so much courage and are so de-
termined to begin promptly the work of
rebuilding. In a years time the effects Of
the fire will be erased, or so nearly 50 that
only here and there will there be anything
to remind one Of the conhlgratiol
The new buildings will be much better
than the old ones, and in that respect the
city will be a gamer by the fire. Street
lines will be observed in building and many
other changes for the better will be made
There is scarcely one of those who lost
buildings who will not replace them with
better ones. More attention will be paid to
making the new buildings proof against
ordinary fires, and perhaps there will be
greater effort to secure architectural effect
One thing the fire has done that has at
tracted considerable comment. 1t has
drawn the people into closer sympathy and
made them more ready and willing than
ever before to work enthusiastically in pro-
noting enterprises that either directly or
indirectly, are for the general good. 1t is
safe to say that it is easier now to get the bust
ness men and property holders to co-ope-
rate in behalf of any undertaking from
which all may reasonably look for some
benefit than it was before the fire. 1t will
not be surprising, therefore, If improve
ments of public character are pushed for
ward this summer with unusual enthusiasm
and vigor.
No unnecessary delay should be permitted
in beginning the work Of rebuilding. De-
lays are seldom productive of god results.
and wise one. Everybody is now anxious
to see the damage repaired at the earliest
possible moment, and this feeling should be
encouraged
The people have determined that the fire
shall not be permintted to check the city's
progress and prosperity, and let every one,
so far as it lies in his power t. d. 50, exert
himself to the utmost to carry out this de-
termination.
The fact that real estate is commanding
surprisingly high prices shows that the con-
fidence in the city's future is stronger than
ever before. This confidence should be
strengthened by pushing ahead the i'm
provements in the burnt district with a de-
termination and courage that know no
such word as fail

Blaine Has Arranged It.

1t seems that the fact that Commissioner
Bates of the Samoan commission is the
author Of an article in the April number of
the Century magazine, in which he said
that the German government had know
ingly made misstatements to our govern
ment about the Samoan trouble that the
German sailors tore down the American
flag and trampled upon it and that no con-
ference ought to be held with Germany I'M
til she had offered an apology for these
things, is to make no difference in the treat
ment he will receive from Bismarck and
the German commissioners. 1t is stated in
our dispatches that Mr.. Blaine has ar
ranged the matter satisfactorily, and that
Commissioner Bates will be just as useful
as if he had not written the article in ques-
ton.
1t may be that Mr.. Blaine has received
satisfactory assurances from Bismarck that
Germany will not object TO Mr.. Bates as
one Of the commissioners, but'it is not easy
to see how a little embarrassment can be
avoided. Mr.. Bates may be very able
man, and well informed about Samoan
matters, but if he holds the opinions he ex-
pressed in the magazine article, it would
seem as if he would find it difficult to act in
harmony with the other commissioners. He
can hardly help feeling that this govern
ment is making a mistake in taking part in
the conference before Germany has made
the apology which he stated she ought to
make.
1t has been suggested that Mr.. Blaine,
after the Century article was brought to
his attention. insisted upon retaining Mr.
Bates on the commission because he does
not want q peaceful settlement of the
Samoan affair, but this can hardly be the
case Mr.. Blaine is not anxious for trouble
with Germany. He talks in a very aggres-
sive way, but in his management of the
state department he is likely to be fully as
conservative as Mr.. Bayard was.
The reason for the retention of Mr.. Bates
on the commission under the circumstances
is not fully understood, but doubtless 1t is
satisfactory to Mr.. Blaine.

They are in Earn est,

The meeting of the Independent Presby-
terian church congregation last night to
take steps to restore the church was very
satisfactory one. What the officers of the
church had done WAS approved, and 900
was subscribed to the building fund.
A very good beginning has been made.
1t is certain that the church will be re-
stored. In year or two the congregation
will be gathered again within its walls and
people will be setting their watches by its
clock. OF course to accomplish this good
deal of hard work viii be necessary, and a
good many sacrifices will have to be made.
The members of the congregation are so
much in earnest, however, that they will
readily and willingly bear additional bur-
dens to accomplish their object.
No doubt there are great many people
outside of the congregation who are anxious
to contribute to the building fund. Now
is the time for them to do so. There is no
use in waiting until next week or next
month. There are hundreds who can make
liberal contributions without denying them
selves in any way, and there are hundreds of
others who can well afford to give small
sums. The entire city is profoundly inter
ested ia having the church restored, and
every one who can should assist in re-
staring il

The Final Curtain.

From the Ne,o York Clipper.
The act is drawing to an end:
The lights are growing DINNER;
Farewell to sad and joyous friends,
Life s glamour and its glimmer
We've done our best to play Alright,
And wend a path uncertain;
The stage is fading from our sight,
Ring down, ring down the curtain.
How joyous was the morning scene,
With all its songs and laughterl
It's smiles, perhaps tear between,
To Sweeten gladness after.
There comes part that all must play,
'Tis read with eyes uncertain,
A new stage waits, we cannot stay;
Ring down, ring down the curtain!
So long we've stood beside the wings,
To do the part that called us,
The triumph that its acting brings
In thought has still enthralled us;
But now, farewell. the passing show,
The pageant wild, uncertain.
Another way our feet must go;
Ring down, ring down the curtain!
What matters it if rich or poor
Have trod the boards before us?
The grand, the meek, the prince, the boor,
Must join Deaths final chorus;
One scene, one act, one cue, one call
Brings out the lines uncertain,
Que muffled bell for one and all;
Ring down the final curtain!

A New ManaRer of the Ball.

Mr.. McAllister is no longer the manager
of the centennial ball and banquet. He
has the name of manager, but the authority
to manage is lodged in Mr.. Edmund C.
Stanton. This is a ra her unfortunate con-
dition of affairs for Mr.. McAllister, because
it indicates that he has been tested and
found wanting.
The trouble that led to Mr.. McAllister's
loss of power seems to have been the direct
result of the disease called the "big head. ~
Mr.. McAllister thought that because he
was the leader of the 400 he could manage
the ball and banquet to suit himself. The
committee on entertainment wanted mat
ters conducted as it directed. Mr.. McAllis-
ter refused to recognize the committee, and
when the committee asked him if he in
tended to obey its orders he said he did not
That ended bis career as manager of the
great centennial ball.
OF course Mr.. McAllister and his 400 will
be at the ball, but if they have a jolly
good time they will have to dance with the
crowd.

81 Mike Welch and His Horse Blazes.
NJ i. L7,,,,, tbs 1ue,, VAL. o.,o.-.s,,,,.,


Poor old Nike WEIGH. who died at Chicago
last summer. was a practical turf man in
every sense of the term, and some amusing
stories of his methods could be told. One day
at Louisville he had old BlaZes in a race the
Merchants stake, think it was, and opposed
to the baldfaced son of bennington were some
OF the best horses at the track. One of these,
the favorite, was being saddled in the inner
field surrounded by quite a knot of hackers and
admirers including, of course his owner
Near by, a few yards away, was the outsider
in the betting BlazeS with only old Nike and
two or three of his boys to do him honor The
general public did not consider old "Balky'' in
the race, and he was hardly noticed in the prep
aration for the race. When the Jockey Of the
favorite had mounted, the horses owner, Ed
Corrigan took horse and boy off to one side
while he gave the latter his directions how 10
ride the race. To the spectators out of earshot
these were, of course, sealed book, but their
general tenor could be imagined, as Corrigan
would point to the quarter pole, or the half or
the threequarters. telling the boy doubtless, TO
move up at such place, lay within striking
distance until he got to another, and then
make his run, etc.
Among the observers of these pantomimic in
structons to the jockey was old Mike who after
assisting at the saddling of his white-faced
white-legged brown, had sent him to the post
with little or no instructions to his iocEey.
Turning 10 a bystander just after Corrigan had
ended his instructions to his boy, by directing
sweep Of his right hand that took in over half OF
the course as if he intended the boy to wait for
that portion of the race, old Nike squirted out a
mouthful of tobacco juice, half Of which, as
usual, landed on his shirt and clothes, and OBJ
served:

toward Corrgan. Ibid yez hear himY Now
watch my old horse. Divil wurrud did say
to me by, but you watch the horse"
The race was run, and old Blazes, he of the
bald face, white legs, and bent knees, made a
show of his field, and won in a galop. Then
old Mike was in his glory. Stalking over to
Corrigan, he squirted lot of tobacco Juice over

The Same Old Game.
From the Chfcnao Tribune.

The "Mwaukee's" electric lighted train was
dashing hitherward from 81. Paul when, toward
nightfall, three or four hours short of Chicago
there got aboard at Wisconsin town a granger
BY and by the news agent, a dapper young
man, came along with lapboard and a deck Of
cards.
Trades quit off," he said. Il am going to
play"
He addressed this to several passengers. but
could not engage an opponent until he reached
the rustic. They played euchre a while. then
1t, with the old man quarter or two ahead in
an hour.
You've seen monte played?" said the candy
butch, idly toying with the cards.
"Oh, yes. l know all about that swindle" re-
piled the old man with yawn.
The young man selected three cards. among
them a queen and began to throw them ex-
pertly, with the drowsily repeated formula.
III bet you $50 you can't spot the queen. l."
He did this over aud over again, until draught
from behind caused him to turn upon pas
senger and request the closing of the car win
dow There had sat upon the armIrest OF the
old mans seat, young man who, in general
appearance, mated the agent He was a
stranger, merely watching the play and placidly
pairing his nails. In turning the agent had left
the cards as they fell, face downward upon the
board.
The stranger leaned forward, swiftly turned
up the cards, and revealing the queen thrust
the point of his pocketknife through its center
The card was conspicously marked, but the
monte man had not observed it, He returned
TO his throwing and the reiterated proposition

again, ''do you really want to bstf"
We'll usually, IL you're reckless enough to
come against me, was the nonchslant reply.
Then put up your fifty"
One hundred dollars quickly reposed In the
strangers custody. The card fell. The granger
rested calm finger upon the punctured card
1t was turned, and 10 a jack was disclosed with
wound through his doublet, just where the
knife had pierced the queens stomach.
A hush fell upon the little group Tae strang-
er, with astonishment and sorrow in his counte-
nance, slowly passed the stakes TO the winner
Then with an oath the old mau arose, clntched
and swiftly pocketed the money, and, throttling
both the c andy butch and his Confederate beat
their heads together until they howled for
mercy. The old man kept the pot.
