LOVE AT a BALL GAME.

Both Audience and Players Forgot the
Game For Three Innings
1t may have been the rain that hoo
dooed the Oaklands, or perhaps it was
that touching little scene from Romeo
and Juliet" enacted in one of the boxes
Along about the middle of the game
some one in the grand-stand discovered
the simmering. sad-eyed lovers in the
act Of plighting their troth in the box.
They had evidently wandered in
from the alfalfa-girded regions round
about Milpitas to take in the Decoration
day exercises Then somebody steered
them out to the ball park, where they
placed themselves on exhibition in their
great NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. -one-act-
In plain sight of four thousand peo-
pie and the players, they sat, lovingly
clasped in each others arms, thinking
thoughts too utterly utter for words
First he would rapturously kiss the
maiden, and then gaze down into the
sweet soulful depths of the lovelit
eyes. and she would bury her head in
his celluloid collar and sigh bath-tub

''Does her love her little tootsey?" he
would exclailc, with all the fervsncy OF
which a strong man is capable.
'Well, / should gurgle. Petite" and
the listening winds waited the answer
to the eight thousand expectant ears in
the grand stand
They took no interest whatever in the
game as they sat in silent bliss utterly
oblivious to the shouts of shut the
door" and "break away" Both au-
dience and players forgot the game for
three innings while watching the un-
conscious young couple in the box
Once, while the uproar was at its
height, Romeo tore himself away from
Juliet's side long enough to go out on
the balcony and ascertain, if possible.

down toward the score board. thinking,
perhaps, that some important news had
Just arrived from San Jose He then
returned to the impatient maiden, who
had not been kissed for nearly two sec
onds, and made It as pleasant for her as
he could
Not until the game was over did the
young folks learn that their sacred
seanee in the box had been exposed to
the vulgar gaze of a cold. unfeeling
world As they were leaving the park
some one exclaimed: There they are"
and the crowd gave them a vigorous
round of applause. The girl wound a

CERTAIN qualifications must be pos>
sessed by persons seeking to enter the
ranks of the upper 400 Of the colored
society Of the city of Louisville; and it is
interesting TO observe the nature of these
qualifications as set forth in the account
of that society given by the Louisville
Courier. Journal. 1t appears that the
persons belonging to it must speak
pssssble good English" and must be up
in all points of etiquette accom-
plishments that may well distinguish
pcssessors. 1t appears also that they
must not "swear before ladies'" but We
may remark that il would be better fol-
them not to swear at all. The colored
400 Of Louisville have literary tendencies,
and some Of them read the books OF emf
nent authors, which is an excellent thing
to do. The question of wealth does not
qualify any one to enter the ranks of the
swell set here spoken of, but education
is an essential qualification. It is evil
dent that the members of this set could
give h number Of hints to some people
who are not colored.

THE cotton manufacture in Texas
ought not to go into the hands OF the
convicts in the penIten tiaries. In
these manufactures will lie much
of the future wealth of the state, and
it should not be handicapped by the
unssvory prestige given it in convict
labor. The effect of convict labor,
everywhere, has been to depress the
industry in which it is employed, and
Texas is proving no exception to the
rule.
