Something over century ago it sud
denly struck England that good roads
would be an advantage. Macadamized
roads were made soon on all the princi-
pal highways of the United Kingdom
All the highways Of Europe were mac
adamized or otherwise made solid, until
at present, except in Italy, there is not
what Americans would call bad road
in the southern half of Europe. Mud
holes are practically unknown. The re-
suit of improved roads in England was
that hitherto inaccessible lands began to
be cultivated and raise large crops of
wheat, real estate increased in value and
English people began to travel about
their own country and make trade lively.
The increase in economic value these
rosls brought to the nation could hardly
be computed. 1t made difference
whether one or two horses could draw a
given load. Meantime America is one
of the richest of nations and has abso-
lutely the worst roads of any civilized
people.

The Argentine Republic might give a
lesson to the United States in the disci-
pline of DRINKS and disorderlies. When
agentleman there goes ON a tear and has
a high old time and disturbs the peace,
the court sentences him, not to pay a
fine, which he would not mind, but to go
out in plain sight of his rich and swell
acquaintance and lady friends and work
a week or two on the public highways.
He rarely goes on a second tear in that
vicinity.

There is one perplexing problem all
trunk railway lines have to face. 1t is
this: When they are prosperous and
there is surplus at the end of the year,
shall they pay dividends to their stock
holders with that surplus? Or shall they
take it and construct branch lines as
feeders to their own, in regions where
such lines will not pay expenses as yet,
but only can hope to do so in futurei
The railroad management have to take
into consideration also the fact that if
they do not construct these expensive
and poor paying branches rivals will,
and they thus be shut out altogether from
a given territory.

One Of the new men retained by Harry
Wright for the Philadelphia club Of the
National league is Thomas O. Nickery, who
bids fair to develop into a fine pitcher.
Last season Vickery played with the To-
rOnto club Of the International league, and
did such good work in the pitchers box
that he attracted the attention Of several
managers of the major organizations. Man
ager Wright was successful in his endeay-
ors to secure him, and took him south with
the team on its spring trip. Vickery did
such good work that Wright was not Ion (
in deciding to retain him. He is a coed
batsman, an excellent fielder and a fine baae
runner. He commenced his baseball career
with the esemi-prOfessional team Of Buriing-
ton, \. J. His first professional engage
1nent was in 1855. with the Bordentown, y
J.. club. One of his most notable successes
while with chat club was in the game wit b
the noted Rivertons Of Philadelphia, in
August of that year. King, of Princeton
college, was in the box for the Rivertoua
The BOrdentowns won the game by a score
of 2 to O. The Rivertons made only one
safe hit OFF Nickery, while sixteen Of their
batsmen were retired on strikes. This sea-

gain in flesh of course ensues upon the re-

winter follows the fall of the leaf, does
disease shadow the footsteps of declining
strength, when the premature decadence
of vitality is not arrested. Marasmus,
consumption and other wasting maladies
are prompt to Jasten upon the enfeebled.
Avert disease, therefore, with this grand
enabling tonic, which not only renews
failing strength, but mitigates and count
eracts the infrmities of age and those of
the the gentler sex. Rheumatism,
malaria, liver and kidney troubles yield
to it.

plies and general features of the
national soldiers home at Leaven-
worth which have commended the
management, and after receiving on the
part OF the officers an unqualified offer

the affairs of the institution, but upon
mature consideration by the committee Of
the fact that 1t has been merely appointed
by the department commander Of the G

of the further fact that the home is under

GOSSIP OF ThE cLuaS.

The Brooklyn Y. II. c. A. gymnasium
members have signed huge petition ask
| ing that grounds be- furnished for them for
outdoor practice. There are over 1900
| gymnasium membezs who pay s15 per year
| for their privilege. Those who have signed
the petition for grounds agree TO pay fifty
| cents month extra toward the expense of
keeping them up. There ara many Y. NJ
C.. A gymnasiums throughout the country
that have had no difficulty in getting good
grounds, and in this respect they are far
ahead Of the celebrated Brooklyn institu-
ton.
The Missouri Amateur Athletic club, Of
St. Louis, No, the games of which are so
well thought of by athletes who have taken
part in them, has made arrangements to
get grounds with q cinder track for the
exclusive use of its members. The club
has been handicapped since its organiza-
ton half dozen years ago by not having
permanent training quarters, but 1t has
steadily grown strong and is now able to
fulfill one Of its main desires.
There is quite a movement in Denver
Col, to organize an athletic institution
which will develop the many amateur ath-
leres there and give them chance to COM
pare their performances with the best men
in the country by attracting the latter
there with good games. The atmospheric
conditions of the city are thought to be IN
usually favorable to good athletic perform
ances.
The well known grounds formerly occu-
pied by the Young America Cricket club at
Stemton, Pa, have been hired by the Ath-
letic Club of the Schuylkiu navy. The
members Of this thriving club feel jubilant
over the acquisition, for the question Of
where can we practice" was becoming
serious matter with them.
The plan recently proposed by number
Of prominent patrons Of amateur sport in
Toronto, Ont, for the institution Of q large
general athletic organization after the pat
tern of the Montreal Amateur Athletic as
sociation, is meeting with success. Several
offers of suitable grounds have been re-
ceived, and it is not unlikely that the To
ronto university may take an interest in
the scheme and add It's support to 1t.
The gymnasium in the new building Of
the Athletic Club of the Schuylkill navy,
Philadelphia, is the longest in America
Its inside length is 146 feet.
Mr. James A St. John, of St. Louis, who
is well known in athletic and aquatic cir
cles throughout America, has been made a
nonresident member OF the Boston Athletic
association.
W. c. Davis has resigned from the secre-
taryship of the Staten Island Athletic club
and will soon move to Philadelphia, where
he has entered a new business. He held
his official position in the Staten Island
Athletic club for about eleven years

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle
KNGFIsHER, Ok, May 81. - Samuel
Moore, negro living in the blackjacks
eighteen miles northeast of Kingfisher was
taken into custody this morning by deputy
United States Marshal Irwin. Moore kill
ed a colored preacher named Griffin, for
merly of Topeka, yesterday, the latter hav-
ing come to his house and abused his wife,
who gave premature birth to child. The
preacher came back again and after few
words between the men shot twice at
Moore with pistol. Moore then seized
his gun and shot the elder in the left
breast. After loading up again he went
around the house to where the preacher
was sitting on stump and says he shot
him again as the elder attempted to shoot
him again.
Moore claims to have done it in self-de-
fense, but there is great excitement out
among the negroes, and Moore would be
roughly handled if they could get at him.
