Mcn And Their Hobbies.

A statement made by a wise man is
that Every honest man has a hobby"
The mar in question did not use these
precise words, says the Amertcnu
Cattrator. but they amount to the
same in substance.
A man who is always tinkcrino
around, making something or other in
the mechanical line. is never found
spending his leisure hours in a gin mill
or saloon. The young man whose hob.
by is study will be found at his book;
MS soon as his days work is done and
supper Is swallowed.
The chap who has music on Ike
brain will be putting or %scraping his
inslrumen: early and late. until his
friends almost wish he would quit his
hobby and rclcgatc himself to the rum
shop.
Many young men ride n mechanical
hobby, aud are often building cxpcr-
imcnta! machines. and making young
steam engines. To such men. electric.
ity possesses n most enticing field.
There is no end to the directions in
which thought may be probably turned
in connection with electricity. Well
developed rs it is, electricity is rs yet
an almost unknown thing, which will
require lifctimcs of study to reduce to
the full understanding of all. Elec-
tricity is the future power of the world
rs it has always been its life. although
unknown aud uucomprchenlel for
ages.
That a young man will waste hours
and days of his life in doing worse
than nothing, when he has sucl, !, field
before him, is scarcely to be comprc-
hended. but it is Il disgraccful fact. Let
the young awake to the idea that the
advancement of the world depends
upon them personally; that the years
to come may be better or worse as
they choose to study or to be idle, and
it seems us though they would quit
beer drinking, dice shaking and card
shutting instantly to avail themselves
OF the privileges before them.
A mau may be about what he makes
himself nowadays, and if lie chooses to
become Il sot. the way is open: if he
chooses to become u power in the land,
ne can do So by going to work in that
direction and keeping at it.

Isaac Mnrphy's Finest Finish.

Two years ago Baldwin's horse
Volantc was to run day at Saratoga,
and Baldwin called Murphy up into the
grand stand and said:
"Now, look here. Murphy, ! don't
al any monkcying about this race
none of your sensational finishes.
You Just cut the old horse loose and
send him along from from the fall of
the flag TO the finish. I've got n lot of
money on this race. and | don't want
to be worried about the result
Murphy showed his white teeth in a
smile of acquiesccnce, and then in n
low one informed the ladies in Bald
wins party that he would make the
old man faint away" When the flag
fell Murphy pulled Volantc back to
fourth place and held him steady
around the first turn; down the back
stretch the leaders flew, with Murphy
trailing along quietly on Volante as
though he was out for a pleasure ride.
Baldwin began to kick, and bit of n
big chunk of tobacco and began to
chew at a tremendous rate. AS the
horses rounded the lower turn and
entered the stretch Murphy began
moving up inch by inch, but it seemed
an impossibility for him to reach the
leaders, but he did. and one by one
they surrendered. until when within
a hundred feet of the wire volatile had
disposed of all but II Then with a
magnificent exhibition of horseman-
ship, Murphy fairly lifted his mount
up to even terms and in the last bound
landed Volante a winner by a nose, or,
as the sporting fraternity term it, ''by
an eyelash." Before the Jockeys dis
mounted BALDWIN turned to II member
of the party and said: George,
wish you would get these Volante
tickets cashed and bring the money
down to the hotel for nc. I'm going
home right away, | don't feel well.
Some fellow swallowed a chew Of
tobacco which l had in my mouth,
when that black devil made that close
finish"

Horse Stealing in Russia.

Tho Russian minister of the interior
has submitted for the approval of the
ministerial council a bill for the sup
preston Of horse stealing. 1t prescribes
that gypsies shall be prohibited from
moving about in Russia, and that every
owner of a horse must take a certificate
from the police or from the authorities
of his rural district attesting his right
full ownership. If a horse is sold, this
certificate must be produced and trans
ferrcd to the name of the purchaser.
The one who sells a horse is to be held
responsible for its good condition, and he
must return the purchase money and
pay a fine if he deceives the buyer in
his representations of it's age or health.
II a diseased animal is sold and infects
the purchasers cattle the seller must
pay all damages and be tried before a
criminal court,

INCONVENIENCE.

The apportionment OF political plums
sometimes is mane upon a queer b isis.
Men are made this and that for all sorts OF
party services. But it is a novel recon-
mendation for an office-seeker to be on the
''inconvenient" list This word 'finconven-
lent appears to be applied in New York
State to men who re use to wear the boss
collar. T Philadelphia Press says: "Sec-
retary Blaine and the President are on the
lookout for a New York man to take the
Spanish mission just vacated by Thomas
W. Palmer, of Michigan. 1t was under
stood that the place had been offered to one
or two inconvenient Republicans, and had
been pleasantly but no less emphatically
declined, and that there was now an ex-
pectation that it would be offered to either
Warner Miller, Congressman James j.
Belden or Henry G. Burleigh, or possibly
to Collector Erhardt."
If the penalty of being "inconvenient'' to
Mr.. Tom Plat is nothing worse than the
Spanish mission, it is pleasant as we'll as
honorable to be inconvenient. Even Mr..
Warner Miller, who has been lying outside
the breastworks an unconscionable time,
might accept the Ministry with good grace.

Irving to Spain, the author wrote home: 81

turn to sweet little Sunnyside, to be able to
sit on stone fence and talk about politics
and rural affirs." There is nothing incon-
venient in such prospect

AS TO THE DOGS,

To-day the ordinance for dog-killing is
supposed 10 60 into force. On the whole,
we think that the suggestion made in THE
DISPATCH yesterday of pound for the
offending CANNES, in place Of shooting
matches on the streets by inexpert marks
men, will go well with the public. If the
restraint and abolition of the dog nuisance
is worth while undertaking at all, it may as
well be done in the best manner. Every
one will commend Chief Browns motive
aud purpose, but the means of carrying 1t
out might be far better adapted to the end
desired.
1t is not merely that prise-shooting on the
streets may lead to accidents, or that the
bodies OF the dogs may be permitted to lie
to the danger of the public health where
they fall, but, further, there is no real need
to sacrifice valuable and inofensive dogs
with the worthless and dangerous. The
intelligent pointer or setter, the faith
full Newfoundland, the ssgacious St.
Bernard, or the harmless pug that
may stray for a moment uumuzzled bevond
its premises, need not be con founded to the
extent OF instant and unprovoked destruc-
tion with really dangerous and vicious dogs.
Let them, as elsewhere, be entrapped and
impounded, with, if needs be, fine upon
their owner. But fair play suggests that
chance be given for their redemption.
There are MANY dogs in whom obedience,
gentleness aud fidelity are native character
istics, and to whose case the policeman's
swift bullet would be but an act of mere
downright cruelty.
In advocating the impouuding system,
The DISPATCH does not wish to abate from
Chief Browns purpose OF abolishIng the
nuisance of dogs running at large. We
simply suggest the evident means which will
work best and meet with most approval. as
against the plan of impronptu shooting
matches on the public streets. Also, by
impoundlng, dogs which in nowlse merit
killing will have chance for their lives.
The fines Tor impounding would more than
meet the expense OF ta1paying.

As- Tho BUSINESS OFFICE Of THE DIS:
PATCH has been removed to Corner Of
Smithfeld and Diamond Streets.
PITTsBURG,s STEEL PLATES.

Some surprise has been expressed that no
American manufacturers have responded to
the q. S. Navy Departments invitation to
submit armor plates for a competitive test to
be made shortly at Annapolis. The test will
be made, but the Government will have to
be content with three samples of armor plate
bought abroad. This apparent lack OF en-
terprise is really token OF the satisfactory
condition of the iron and steel business in
this country. The manufacturers in Pitts
burg are simply too busy to make armor
plates for experimental purposes. They are
making armor plates for the new vessels Of
our navy in great quantities. This is no
new branch OF the steel business; for years
Pittsburg has supplied Uncle Sam with
steel shields or his ships. To-day there is
large corps of naval officers in Pittsburg
for the special purpose of. inspecting the
steel made for the Government 1t is
recognized fact that Pittsburg can turn out
more steel and better steel than any other
American CITY. Even the constructors of
war vessels on the Pacific coast send to
Pittsburg for their armor plates.
The manufacturers of steel in Pittsburg
are not uneasy about the quality OF foreign
productions. They are properly confident
in their ability to compete with the world.
American men-of-war will continue to wear
homemade plates as long as Pittsburg is in
the steel business.

ELEyENTH.HOUR REPENTANCE.

In the last year of its life the Salisbury
Cabinet in England is to be remodeled.
The stitfest and sternest Tories seem to be
giving way. That hot-headed malcontent,
Lord R ,ndolph Churchill, is to be given d
place in the Government which he has on
several occasions tried to destroy. The ven-
cradle Mr.. Smith, after polishing up the
handle OF the big front door SO carefully for
many years, is to be made a peer.
Lord Churchill will take his place
as leader Of the House of Commons. There
is no denying that the young nobleman will
make a livelier leader than the amiable
Smith. and the Gladstonians may expect
sharper fghing than they have been accus-
toned to Of late. But no amount of changes
in the Cabinet can save the Tory Ministry.
1t is doomed to final defeat as soon as the
voters have q chance at general election
to declare their will.
