STRANGE CONDOLENCES.
Incidents from Which the Superstitious
Can Draw a Moral.

Incidents from Which the Superstitious
Can Draw Moral.
Most expressive condolences have some
times occurred in the words of actors in
their last appearance on the stage, SAYS the
New York Epoch. An English actor named
Cumnins, some twenty years ago, appeared
in play in which it fell to him TO deliver
these lines:
"Be witness for me- ye celestial hosts;
Such mercy and such pardon as my soul
Accords 10 thee and begs OF heaven TO show
thee
May such befall me a my last hour"
The last words had scarcely dropped from
1iis lips when he fell dead on the stage
The following instances may be regarded
by the superstitious as a sufficient warning
against all Iests OF such grim subject as
death. 1t is related by Mr.. Bolton, an En-
elish actor and author, that the famous
tenor, Sims Reeves, was once PLAYING the
Squire in the pantouime of odd Mother
Goose" and at the very moment when he
was walking OF the stage, singing:
"My wifes at rest-there let her lie
She's ct rest and so am L"
a man tapped him hurriedly on the shout
der and whispered: You must come home
directly; Mrs. Reeves is dead" Greatly
shocked, Mr.. Reeves hurried home and
found it only too true.
The other instance of which l refer re-
lates to the death of J. W. Coudry, 4 mind
reader, who, short time ago. while lectur-
ing at New Haven, Conn, took occasion TO
boast of his entire freedom from fear, at
the same time speaking of death in a some
what flippsnt and testing manner. Very
singuiarly, before the conclusion of his per-
formance, he was stricken with apoplexy,
his death occurring only two days later.

SUNDAY BASE BALL.
The Kansas City Court of
Appeals Sits Down
Upon 1t.

The Sedalia lovers of base ball may
enjoy the game all week but hereafter
the Sunday game is tsboOed. In the
Kansas City court of appeals Monday
Judge Ellison rendered his decision in
the case of the State of Missouri
against w. f. Williams, appealed
from the Randolph circuit court.
Williams was indicted and convicted
for playing base ball at Moberly on
Sunday and fined $50 by the judge of
the circuit court under section 1850 of
the revised Statutes, which prohibits
horse racing, cock fighting, games of
cards, or games "of any kind" on Sun
day. After his conviction Williams
appealed on the ground that playing
base ball on Sunday was not forbidden
By the laws of the state. He urged
the objection before the appellate
court that the game of base ball was
not incuded in the general words of
the statute-"games of any kind"
The statute in this case, Judge FL
lisOn held, was evidently intended to
prevent a decoration of the Sabbath
by restricting the doing of those things
which are offensive TO a Christian
community by being done.on that day.
Continuing in his speech, Judge Eli
son said
"The game Of base bali has become
national, and ii is we'll known that In
some sections Of the country, and Mis-
souri,, 1t attracts vast crowds of people,
rivaling those which assembled in the
amphitheaters of Rome or gathered to
witness.the Olympian games of Greece.
Ii Is going further chan We feel at lib.
erty 10 venture TO say that the legisla-
ture did not intend to include such a
in the terms Of the statute under con-
sidera.iOn. The general words OF the
statute cannot he confined to games Of
sport ef the same kind as those espe C.
tally enumerated.
In the opinion OF the court horse
racing and cock fighting might be
classed as games, but not such as are
played at" The usual argument
had been introduced that the game
WAS harmless and innocent, but it was
not associated from the idea of gam
bling. The court concluded his opn-
ion with 1.-The defendant was
properly convicted by the trial court. I"
The judgment was affirmed, all of the
members cOncurring.
