LOUISVILLE. KY, April 20.-The ball
game here to-day was given to Louis
vile by too by Umpire Cornell at the
beginning of LouiSville'S half Of tie
third inning. The crowd numbered
11,4sl, and so filled the grounds that the
play was liable to be impeded under
some conditions. 1t was agreed between
Capts. Raymond and Mccarthy that if
man Knocked ball against the left
field seats he should take as many
bases as he liked. At the close of ST.
Louis half of the third the score stood
to . for st. Louis. Ryan got first on
balls and Wolf batted the bail against
the left field seats, and upon the UNI
pres decision Ryan was given run.
st. Louis protested and refused to play
out the game, and Connect gave the
game against them. st. Louis agreed
to play out the game as an exhibition for
the satisfaction of the crowd. Won der
Abe will, probably, formally protest
against the decision. Heburn umpired
the exhibition.

QUESTIONS OF MORALITY.
is This C0untryLosing Its Morals
as 1t Grows Richer.

as 1t Grows Richer.
In the January issue of publication
labeled Lend Hand, edited by the
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, Mr.. Hale
asserts, says the Providence Journal,
that with better morals nation grows
richer, and as the nation grows richer
its morals are improved" He also as
serts that there are more good people
than bad people. and argues that there
is all Improvement in the social con-
dition OF the people of the United States
directly attributable to the influence of
the Christian religion. There is the
possibility, however. that part of the
reasoning of MI Hale may be wrong,
while part of it is right.
1t certainly does not follow that as
the nation grows richer its morals are
improved. Any intelligent student of
history has witnessed abudant evidences
of the truthfulnesS of the poet who said
concerning the land where wealth ac-
cumulates and men decay that it is to
fastening ills a prey. There is 10 way
of satisfactorily settling this important
question. Its solution is beset with
grievius difficulties. What constitutes
decay in men, or rather what are the
indications showing it? Even if there
were llO u6Cdy we ldhc III IL QSCdk
means deterioration, not physically,
but mentally. morally and politically
would it be acknowledged by the men
of to-day in this country, capable of eX-
pressing an opinion, that they are as a
class worse than the men Of a genera
tion or of two generations or of three
generations ago? Surprising we endea-
vor to take some examples of relevance
from our own history. To-day we are
amazingly ahead of the United States
of 1890.
In science we know things that the
most advanced thinkers then did not
dream of. 1t is simply necessary to
mention the railroads. the telegraph,
the ocean cables. and ocean transport
alton, the loom and the forge, to impress
upon ourselves how much we have as a
people gained in these material things.
But how much have we gained morally
during these hundred years? AS a
country we have grown rich, immense
ly rich, since then. To use similar
figure of speech, have we grown rich
morally, immensely rich morally. since
then? This was a Christian nation in
1890. Is it as much of Christian nation
now? We can simply read his
tory and Judge for ourselves. But we
are greatly mistaken if it appears to
most intelligent readers of history that
in morality, broadly considered, the
present generation of this country sticks
in a peg higher in the scale than the
people of 1890.

One source of railway Accidents.

A railway accident happened recently
which might have been prevented If a
conductor had applied the power brake,
which was at his command, instead OF
putting on the hand brake. Conductors
have got so into the habit of thinking
that they must pull the bell rope when
it is necessary to make an emergency
stop that they are likely to forget that
the immense power of the air brake can
be applied from the car as well as from
the engine. Even with a pneumatic or
electric connection with the engine,
which is so much surer and quicker than
a bell rope, there is a theoretical advan-
tage in applying the brake direct from
the passenger car, for there is only one
operation to be performed instead of
two, as when the engineer has to act
after being signaled by the conductor.
Where the conductors valve is made
accessible from any point in the car by
means of a cord running the whole
length this advantage is certainly appre-
ciable in every case. As the necessity
of making an emergency stop come up
very frequently in the experience of a
conductor or brakeman there would
seem to be no certain way Of changing
their mental habits in this respect ex-
cept by putting them through a course

Danger in ~Diphtheria.

The public needs to understand more
fully than as yet it seems to do that
diphtheria does not come, like influenza
for instance, in the air, but that every
case is from a previous case, and that
thorough isolation and disinfeetion
would in time stamp out the disease as
completely as a noxious weed would be
killed out by the destruction of all its
seed.
Ia its early stage diphtheria is not
readily distinguished from an ordinary
sore throat. For this reason every case
of sore throat in a child. especially at a
time when diphtheria is prevalent,
should be looked upon with Il degree of
suspicion, enough at least to prevent
the communication of what may prove
to be the dreaded disease. 1t should be
kept in mind. also, that children with
sore Threats and nasal catarrh are pc
culiarly susceptible to Infection

Brain workers and Rest.

Some brain workers toll on year after
wear, contenting themselves with the re-
Taxation OF u day or two now and then.
They have no real vacations, and the
brief intervals that they are away from
their duties do them but little good, not
being long enough for them to forget
their work and veXations and get out OF
the groove they have been running H.
| There comes at last TO these men a time
| when memor weakens, when 1t IS r
| for them to fix the mind upon one sub
ject, and their work seems to grow more
| and more irksome, and in conversation
there is a slight tendency to lncoherence,
1t is rather difficult for them at times TO
express themselves clearly; the suitable
| words do not come to them as readily as
they once did.
When conversing they start III well,
but after a short time their ideas are
somewhat confused, and they are Obliged
to make considerable effort to keep their
attention fixed upon the subject they are
discussing. In writing there Is a hest
fancy, especially on long words or sen
fences. They are obliged to stop and
think, seeming to drop the thread that
they have been holding. These are signs
of mental failure, which must not be
disregarded. In this condition of brain
exhaustion, not only are the reasoning
faculties sluggish, but unusual effort Is
required from the weakened will to keep
the attention fixed. Good mental work
is then accomplished only at the expense
of the brain, which is still further weak
ened by every intense effort.
The time has now come when mental
rest is imperative, and it should be as
complete as possible. A long vacation
should be taken; short rests are nothkely
to do any good. a sea voyage promises
the greatest good to the weakening brain
worker. On shipboard he seems to drop
almost entirely out of his old life. His
vacation should not be of less than a
months duration, and it ought to u
on for several months. Failing to take
the needed rest, insanity is very likely to
be the penalty.-Boston Herald.

The syndicate shoe backing on the
Pennsylvania ferryboats is not Il success.
The company receives 1900 for the
privilege from the padrone who employs
the boys who nominally polish passen-
gers boots. The padrone is a regular
slave driver, and the boys in order to
satisfy his demands try to polish three
pairs of boots on n passage. They
are not able, in the time occupied by the
ferryboat in crossing, to give more than
a few daubs of blackng and a hurried
brushing, and by the time the passenger
gets to Broadway his boots are dull and
dirty.
The boys are also very persistent, fill
ing the cabins with their calls until they
have become a regular nuisance. twas
a sorry day for the railroads reputation
when it sold this privilege to the Ital-
ians. Meanwhile the padrone is clear
ing about s. a day out of every boy. He
gives them 81 a week and keeps two on
each boat. 1t is estimated that the pad
rome makes $4,000 per annum on the
Pennsylvania boats alone, besides large
sums on the Staten Island boats and the
other North river ferryboats.-New York

Pale sarsapariIla Sirup.

There is a handsome new drug store
up in Fourteenth street where they sell
soda water and dispel illusions all for
five cents a glass. If you ask the soda
water clerk for sarsaparilla soda water
he viii give you a glass of foamy water
that is almost colorless-of a pearly
transparency, like that Of a glass of
vanilla soda water. 1t looks no more
like the rich, brown colored drink that
people expect to get when they ask for
sarsaparilla soda water than chalk does.
If you remark on the unaccustomed ap-
pearance of the drink he viii say to you,
as he says to hundreds of people who
ask for that particular kind of soda wa
ter every day, that pure sarsaparilla
strip Is colorless. People think" he
says, "that sarsaparilla, being made of
roots, must be brown. Perhaps years
ago, when the strip was made by throw
ing a lot of unwashed roots in a dirty
kettle and boiling them over a smoky
fire in the woods, there was dirt enough
IN the compound TO make it brown.
Nowadays the process is cleaner and the
sirup is colorless. But people think
sarsaparilla ought to be brown, and SO
people color it with burnt sugar OF leo
