center fielder OF the New York team. Tore
has the happy faculty of laying aside his pro
feSsion when off the diamond, which faculty
is shared by but few ball players. As a rule,
these men are very sensitive, and when a
game is lost it is not uncommon for them to
be SO depressed in spirits that they cannot eat
or sleep. Gore, however, is not that kind of
a clothespin. As John Ward says: "Gore
lets care get behind the wood pile when his
work is over" He used to run paper ma
chine in Saccarappa, Me-, in 1878 Gore
lives up to his income and has saved no
money. He has a beautiful and accom-
plished wife, whom he married seven years
ago. He has no children. Gore is the detec-
tive of the Brotherhood.
Edward Crane, the cannon ball pitcher, is
the most finished story teller in the baseball
profession. Especially is he expert in telling
baseball stories. On long trips to the west
the New York team sit in the smoker of the
express trains and listen to Cranes yarns
until o'clock in the morning. He is an
American of Irish descent. AS pitcher he
resembles the little girl who, when she was
good, she was very, very good, but when she
was bad, she was horrid." Cranes fad is
fine clothes. None but the best tailors and
the most expensive material will suit the
taste of this exquisite. He is very easy
man to fit, the tailors say, because of the per
lection of his form.
Keefe, like Gore, lives up to his income,
Easy come, easy go, is his motto. He is
bachelor and wears no jewelry.

TWENTY-FOUR O'CLOCK.

From the indianapolis News.
"What time is it, CONDUCTOR"
''Nineteen-thirty-se
"What?"
'Nineteen-thirty-se o'clock"
'Wha -ah-ah-all right. Thank
you"
This conversation is an example OF
what may be expected some time before
long. The annual time convention of
railway superintendent, which will
meet in New York next Wednesday and
Thursday, will discuss the ACCESSIBILITY
of numbering the hours from one to
twenty-four, instead of going half way
through the day and beginning over
again, as has been the custom fran an
tiquity. 1t seems hardly probable that
the new system will be adopted at that
meeting, but it certainly will come into
vogue in two or three years at most A
committee having the matter in charge
some weeks ago sent out circulars to all
try. asking their opinion on the proposed
change.
The answers show thata large majority
of the officers favor the change decided
lv. Enough object to haste, however,
to make it probable another year at least
will elapse before it is adopted. Several
reasons are given for abandoning the old
half-and-half system of dividing the day.
One is that the cabalistic "a. M" and
p. M" are necessary and annoying ap-
pendages Of it, and their careless use or
omission is continually making trouble
and causing costly mistakes. In the con-
struction of time cards the deficiencies
Of the present system are most striking
ly seen. The railway guide is ''sealed
book" to persons who are not expert in
unraveling the mysterious complications
that must be understood before taking
Journey of any considerable length. In
order to simplify matters, the companies
have taken to printing the morning
hours in blacker-faced type than those
of the latter half Of the day. Or is it the
afternoon hours that are in the black
type? That's the question. Which is which?
The simplifying process doesn't
simplifys About the only method of
becoming perfectly sure of the time of a
train from a guide is to begin at the be-
ginning of the card, where the starting
time is followed by am or ''p NJ,
as the case may be, and then to follow
down the column, poting every time II
O'Clock Is passed, until the name of the
station desired is reached.
Then again there seems to be no good
reason why the day should be bisected,
The railroad men say if they all adopt
the change at once it will be but short
time before clocks and watches will be
made accordingly, and in few years
time-pieces with only twelve numbers
on their dials will be cherished as curl
osities.
The Canadian Pacific road uses the
new system now, and finds it vast i'm
provement over the old. 1t could not be
induced to change.

THE JOYS OF SPRING.
From the Boston Courier.

from the boSton courier.
That spring is the season of delight,
the time OF love, the hour of rejoicing,
and all the rest of it, we have been taught
by all poets from time immemorial. or
al least from the time when poets were
invented. 1t is therefore trite to repeat
this sentiment; and yet when spring
comes, who can resist the Unborn glad
ness, ana stop to consider whether SEN
timent be trite or not: Who can restrain
the natural outbreak of JOY and dispose
his mind to follow In the dull grooves of
old winters disconnected musings:
Is not this the time when the question
of clothes becomes q burden so grievous
that 1t seems as if it could not be borne:
In the first place. there is the problem of
how to get out of winter fixings into
thinner attire without thereby mourning
pneumonia. and a dozen other troubles
which are lying in wait far the IN
wary at this critical juncture. If one
keeps cannilly to his warm clothing, the
sun scorches him with fervenr heat un-
til he takes dreadful cold by being SO
warm; if, On the other hand. be ven

lures to assume that the calandar means
something, and that there is likely to be
some sort of a moderation in the clmaee
coincident with the progression of the
season, and dons thinner raiment, the
opposite thing happens, and he gets his
death through having been too cold.
In the next place, there is the problem
how 10 get new clothing to get into,
even does the weather permit. One does
somehow manage to procure winter
clothing because he would so manifestly
freeze without it; but, when it comes to
summer apparel, it is quite another mat
ter. This can somehow be put off or
done without, or perhaps come at to-
morrow, and the sorrow of the poor in
the springtime are enough to wiring the
heart OF even the calendar
maker. Young ladies who hope to
find the material for their own true love
in some man at the sea shore. and who
can not compass the wardrobe where
with to ensnare HIM after ne is discover
ed, break their heats in the spring, and
languish like their wardrobes.
Then it is always SO pleasant TO select
place in which to pass the summer.
The feat of stretchinga limited income
so that it will cover a pleasant and de-
scent place in summer is one of the most
lively of the many joys of the poetic
springtide. One goes about asking ques-
tons of all sorts of people, he tries to re-
vive his old-time faith III advertisements,
he hopes ence more for the impossible,
and unconsciously prays for a miracle.
In the end things will be just about as
they were last summer, and the summer
before, and the summer before
that; yet one can not but
as if he were just discovering
the bitterness of life, and could not be-
lieve that destiny had in store for him
a lot not unlike that of the rest of man
kind.
Of the spring dusts, its gloomy days,
its freaks and whims of temper. one
hesitates to speak, and yet they are all
to bereckoned among the joys of the
vernal season. 1t is spring, and for an
swer to all complaints that fact is ex-
pected to suffice If one is not satisfied
with that he is past hoping for, and may
as we'll be given up at once as a crusty
old grtmbler whom nothing suits, and
who would in the realms above fulfill
literally the hacknied joke by complain
ing of the fit of his halo.

THE STAEIN THE SOUP.

The business of the EAGLES criticisms
of the last legislature are beginning to
be appreciated. Its average member
seemed burthened with a superabun-
dance of everything save brains. Such
enactments as were successfully passed
only added to the expenses of the state
and to its municipalities. Wichita
would have been thousands of dollars
better off if that legislature had been
simultaneously struck with lightning
and green elm club while taking the
oath of Office. They rendered money
matters uncertain, hurt the live stock
interests and scared the debtor class to
death by their buncombe speeches and
fool bills. In fact they appeared to
be so absorbed in getting up new offices
in the interest of lobbyists, and in other
uncalled for and expensive work, that
they utterly forget to make the proper
appropriations for old and established
institutions. The new district Judges
will haye to work for nothing for some
time to come. The state board of chart
ties, the officers having in charge the
deaf and dumb, the insane asylums,
ETC., will have to go without pay for
two years The police commissioners
will be compelled to work for their love
of the place. as no appropriation was
made for them. The agents of the state
were provided, for and the
agents of the state normal school are in
the same ridiculous fix. The trustees

however, that Governor Humphrey will
not call them together again. We would

The suspicion is creeping into the
minds of many that had the ships at
Samoa been better supplied with coal,
the recent disasters might have been
averted. For the credit of the late adj
ministration it is to be hoped that this
great loss will not be attributed to such
ill-timed parsimony. We believe no
other government in the world is accus-
toned to figure its dollars so, closely as
ours. This may be all well enough I'M

and RATS are being built at Wichita and
Arkansas City upon which anxious
boomers expect to be able to make a
voyage down the river to within a few
miles from the corner Of Oklahoma" If
the Journal man will consult the map of
that country he will discover that the
Arkansas river does not run nearer than
twenty-five miles at the nearest point to
Oklahoma, and to follow that stream
down to the junction of the Cimarron
and then up that stream to the coveted
land would take from two to three
weeks, so parties who might undertake
that route would be distanced by the
overlanders. It's mistake.

Notwithstanding the discussion and
investigating and legislating the great
sugar trust has undergone it still exists
and its effects upon the market for the
season are already being felt in the ad-
vance in the price of refined sugars.
They are always ready with plausible
excuse for running up prices; this time
it is an alleged shortage in the crop of
crude sugar. The trust may make the
most of the present, granting that the
excuse set up is founded on fact, for the
immense augmentation of the crop by
the product from the sorghum cane in
Kansas, which is going to astonish the
world by its magnitude from this year
forward, together with the product of the
beet crop of California, will place the
sugar question beyond the control of the
trust. California declares that so far
from being failure the manufacture of
beet sugar has been decided success in
that state. The crop now under con-
tract there is estimated at over $4,000
tons. Claus Spreckles, the so-called su-
gar king, is backing the sugar beet in
dustry in California, and while he is re-
garded by some as sort of nlonopolist,

Speaking of trusts the indications are
that the salt trust with which the coun-
try was threatened a short time ago,
will not materialize, finding that to con-
troll the product of this state would be
like the old woman's efforts TO keep the

In no event will the price of that neceS-
sary commodity be sufficiently aug
mented to increase the cost TO the aver

question of cost, however, SO much as
the principle of the thing that people OBJ
