Prohibition

That the recent decision OF the U. s.

bunal Of the Country is likely to make 1t
more difficult to enforce prohibltory laws

admitted, but the concensus Of opinion Is
that these laws will be enforced and that

he was the son Of poor stone mason,
and his habits were those of rough,
self educated peasant. Hardships which
to him were natural and customary were
to her torture. After her death, indeed,
the truth burst upon him and over
whplmed him with deserved remorse for
his treatment of her, lie then saw, too
late, how cruel he had thoughtlessly been
to the delicate flower he had taken into
his keeping. and vainly sought to atone
for il by bitter lamcntation and self re-
proaches.
Irving appears to have met Mrs. Car
lyle only four times after her marriage.
The first was when she was living at
Edinburgh in 1927. His call lasted only
half an hour, and at the end of it he in
sisted. with more zeal than tact, in pray
ing with her and her husband. The next
year Carlyle brought him out to spend
two or three DAYS at his Craigenputtoch
farm, and he seemed cheerful and happy.
Again. when the Carlyles went to Lon
don on visit in 1881, Irving came to see
them one evening, and Mr.. Carlyle in
Mrs. Carlyle's presence, and with her az
sent, essayed to extricate him from the
delusions into which he had fallen. Her
feelings may be guessed from what she
afterward said: There would have been
no tongues had Irving married me- In
1884, the first year of her permanent
residence in London, and the last Of IT.
wings life, he called on her at her house
in Cheyne row, and staid about twenty
minutes. "Ah, yes" he said to her,
looking round the room, "you are like
an Eve; make every place you live i'll
beautiful" In less than two months
afterward he died.
Whether Mrs. Carlyle would or would
not have been happier with Irving for u
husband instead of Carlyle is doubtful.
That Irving would have been to her most
tender. loving and considerable, his treat
ment of the woman he married, not from
love, but from a sense of duty, affords
every reason to believe; but whether his
failure in his career and the want of that
qualification of her pride and satisfaction
of her ambition which she got with Car
lyle would not have been as sore trial
to her as Carlyle's harshness, is not so
sure. Irving like Carlyle, was IA man oil
genius, but his genius was confined with
in the narrow limits of religious enthusi-
asm, and he had little or no sympathy
for anything that lay outside, He was
even alarmed when Carlyle, on under
taking Miss Welsh's literary education
in 1921, began to teach her German. and

Irving remained at Kirkcaldy seven
years, during which period the little girl
he had taught at Haddington became a
woman. In 1878, when she was II, lie
met her again in Edinburgh, and then,
for the first time, he seems to have dis
covered the real state of his heart. Mrs.
Oliphant says of this meeting, apparently
blind to its Importance:
"He found her beautiful and viva
cious girl, with an affectionate recollec.

When Irving heard the praises of these
same friends falling too warmly from the
young lady's lips, he could not conceal a
little pique and modification, which es-
capped in spite of him. When this little
ebullition was over the fair culprit turned
to leave the room, but had scarcely passed
the door when Irving hurried after her
and called, entreating her to return for
. moment. When she came back she
found the simple hearted giant standing
penitent to make his confession. 'Ths

Baseball Notes.

Manager Enright denies the story thai
certain persons of Sacramento had made
bid of $4,000 for his team. "If anybody
wants it," he said yesterday, "they can
have it for considerable less than $4,000"
The Sacramento management is the re-
cipient of an offer from the directors of the
Stockton club for the purchase of Harper
This seems strange in the face of Manager
Shelley's contemptuous remarks about
Harper when the season opened. At that

their hands, and congratulated his team in

He wanted to wager that Harpers record
at the end of the season would not hold q
candle to that of Chase. Chase only lasted
few games with the Stocktons, while
Harper is pitching championship ball. Mr.
Shelley has evidently changed his mind 6
little, and is no doubt now congratulating
himself that no one picked up his wager.

BASEBALL GALORE.
FOUR CALIFORNIA LEAGUE GAMES
WERE PLAYED YESTERDAY.
Sacramento Downs Stockton Twice-A
Draw at Oakland-The Colonies
Beaten at Haight Street.

The Sacramento baseball team took
double Jump up the championship ladder
yesterday. In the morning they went to
Stockton and defeated the Slough City
boys, and then bringing the defeated club
up To Sacramento cruelty beat them again.
A prettier game than that played at
Snowflake Park yesterday afternoon has
not been seen in many day. Both the
Stocktons and Sacramentos were full of
ginger to use the popular phrase, and the
game was not won until the ninth inning
was over.
Roscoe Coughlin pitched for the home
nine, while Kilroy was in the box for the
visitors. Both twirlers were effective, but
Coughlin carried off the honors. Only
three hits were received off his delivery by
the Stocktons, while Kilroy was batted
safely eight times.
Neither side scored in the first or second
innings, but in the third Sacramento Tailed
twice. Stockton scored one in the fourth.
Nothing more was done by either side then
until the seventh inning, when Stockton
tailed again. anC tied the score.
Neither side scored in the eighth.
1t began TO look like an extra-inning
game as both pitchers were now at their
very best, and hits were as scarce as hens
teeth.
But Sacramento is noted for its heavy
finishes, and yesterdays finish was of the
most sensational order. Bowman was first
to bat, and the first ball he struck at he
missed so badly that the crowd laughed at
him. The echo of the last laugh was Just
diving away when Bowman swung his bat
again. 1t was not the atmosphere that he
pounded this time. There was bang, and
then for almost ten seconds the crowd
stood up and watched little speck which
could just be discerned in the eastern sky.
Bowman didn't stop to watch it, though.
On the contrary, he dropped mis- bat and
sped around the bases like frightened
deer. By the time he reached the home
plate the ball was just bounding into the
infield.
1t was a beautiful hit.
The crowd cheered and cheered and
Bowman was crowned q king. But his
glory was short-lived. Stapleton fouled
out, and then Roberts took his place in
the batters' box. Like Bowman, he
opened with wild lunge into space-and,
like Bowman. his second effort covered
him with glory. 1t was another terrific
smash and a Stockton fielder found the
ball down in the left field corner against
the fence.
The crowd cheered for Bowman, but it
howled itself hoarse when Roberts COM
pleted his home run
1t was another beautiful hit.
The Stocktons could not score in their
half of the inning, SO the Sacramentos
were the heroes of the day.
Besides the home runs, the features of
the game were Fudger's brilliant work at
short and Kilroy's watching of bases. The
latter succeeded in catching three CT the
Sacramentos mapping at first base and put
them out.
Following is the official score:
