BASE BALL.

O'Connell, who was at Bellows Falls a
few seasons ago, is playing with the Amer
can team in Cuba.
4. +. Stearns, the captain and second
baseman of the Amherst college team, who
did effective work for the BrattlebOros two
years ago, has just refused an offer from
the Boston league team.
Tom Dowd has not signed with the st.
Louis Browns, but will probably do so.
Manager Sullivan of the Nashvilles claims
that DOwd made verbal agreement to
play with that club. DOwd was at his
home in Holyoke last week to attend to
legal business.
The base bah outlook at Yale is very
promising. Every member of the team
last year has returned. 1t is not known
whether Denny O'Neil will be member
of the team, but he would strengthen it in
batting. O'Neil is credited with 20 home
runs during last season. Yale is to have a
a new building for winter base ball prac-
tce. 1t will contain dirt floor 200 feet
square.
A Dartmouth college correspondent
writes: "'Cully' Keay is with us, but he
is changed man. The mobile features
that scorned the umpire on every New
England league diamond last summer are
now hidden beneath Bohemian beard of
Titan red. His pocket companion is now
an Anatomy instead of the Sporting Life,
and the examination marks he got last
month were so high the air around them is
raritied. 1t viii be Doctor Keay sure in
another year"

"The Lion in Our Path"
lFrom the Christian Resister.I

EX-President Hayes at the recent open
ing of the annual convention of the Ma.
tional Prison Reform association, used as
a text of his Introductory speech the re-
mark of Gov. Seymour on previous occa-
sion: 81 never yet found man so untama-
BILE that there was nothing of good on which
to build hope. l never yet found a man
so good that he need not fear a fall"
"With this faith so generously and so
shrewdly stated by Gov. Seymour" said
Mr.. Hayes, 1--WE come again to Baltimore.
1t it only out of faith like this that great
reforms are born and carried forward
What are the most etfectual means to pre-
vent crime? An unceasing, conscientious,
and wise care in the training of the young.
Great aids to this end will be found in all
those methods and means, such as chill
dren's fresh air funds, homes for homeless
children, and industrial schools. One of
the chief causes of crime is the evil of un-
restricted immigr alton. This is the lion
today in the path of the progress of Amer
lea Strike, continued Mr. Hayes, "from
the appalling catalogue of crime in our
country all the breaking due to the i'm
migration of recent years, and the claims of
prison reform in the United States will be
vindicated. The crimes of Europe are laid
at our doors"
EX-President Hayes is doing a noble
work by the zeal and ability with which
he urges the claims of this and other re-
forms. He illustrates the worth and value
of a true public spirit.

Our Democratic friends find themselves
in hot water, all among themselves, in
very amusing way this week. Last Satur-
day night the New York reform club gave
a dinner in honor of the great victory. Mr..
Cleveland was the chief guest, of course,
but there were other Democratic notables
there by the score. Speaker Crisp was
among them, and being the second officer
in the government in point of influence and
Importance, it was only natural that he
and his friends expected him to be called
on for a speech. In point of fact he pre-
pared a speech and gave it to the press for
publication when asked for it by the re-
pOrters. But the eventful hour came, the
dinner was eaten, and the speaking began,
Mr. Cleveland leading off with lot of his
lugubrious platitudes. Mr.. Crisp was prop
erly the next speaker in order, but calls for
him were ignored, guest after guest was
called up, and when the hour neared u
the atmosphere became so chilly that Mr..
Crisp took himself to his hotel and returned
to Washington by an early train. Next
day this snub of the speaker was the talk
of the town, and so it still remains. At
first its perpetrators met it by saying that
Mr.. Crisp was not asked to speak before
hand, and they did not know that he had
a speech prepared. This, however, would
not "go down" and they have been COM
PEELED to admit that the slight was inten-
tional. The secret of the whole matter is
Mr.. Crisp does not represent extreme free
trade views, and his political sympathies
are with the straight-Out Democrats, like
Hill and Tammany, rather than with Cleve-
land and the Mugwumps.

Announcement is made this week of
princely Christmas gift by Philip ID. Ar
mour, the Chicago millionaire, to the peo-
pie of that city. During the past few years
a beautiful new building, opposite the Ar
mour mission, has risen to magnificent
proportions. Now the fact is made known
that it has been built by Mr.. Armour for
educational purposes, that it is to be known
as the Armour institute, and will be to
Chicago substantially what the Pratt insti-
tute is to Brooklyn and the DreXel insti-
tute to Philadelphia-that is, a complete
school for young men and women for tech
nical training and for instruction in science
and art. Mr.. Armour is about to 90 to
Europe for rest, and relief from business
cares and on the eve of his departure comes
the announcement of this gift to the city
with the added benefaction of 81, 400, 900
as a fund for the support of the institute
and mission. The whole work has been
done so quietly that few people, even in
Chicago, had an inkling of what Mr. Ar
mour had in mind.

SHALL BRATTLEBoRO HAVE AN
ELECTRIC STREET Railway

ELECTRIC STREET RAILWAYS
s. II. Barrett of Springfield, Mass, was
in town yesterday looking over the ground
for the establishment Of an electric system
of street cars Mr.. Barrett is a BroOkine
boy, who learned the jewelers. trade with
&. a. Tripp. At one time he was prJprie-
tor of jewelry stores at Springfield and
Holyoke, but for the past few years has
been engaged in the electric railway busi-
ness. He found many of the Brattleboro
business men favorable to the project, and
considers the prospect very bright for the
establishment of line. Mr.. Barrett says
any other road but an electric would be a
failure while the electric will be a success.
a road can be built and equipped for $1,000
to $4,000 a mile. This does not mean a
a cheap road, but one of the best, and it
would be advantageous to put on regular
parlOr cars. Wherever these cars are used
they are literally patrOnized by people who
ride for pleasure. The line which Mr.
Barrett would build would run from Main
through Canal and Birge streets, up the
Brook road to West Bratlleboro and return
via the avenue, High, Oak, Chaplin and
Asylum. A line might also be run to
Hinsdale. There is plenty of outside cap
ltal ready to engage in the enterprise, but
it is thought that it would b. better for
home investors to become interested. If
S25, 600 worth of stock is taken here the
road is assured Will Brattleboro have the
road? There is no question but that it
would be a great factor in the advancement
of the town, as well as great convenience.
The project should be investigated at once.

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1892.

An effort will he made, under the lead of
Senator Hill, and New York members Of
the House, to push through Congress
bill for the immediate construction of
ship canal across the state of New York.
The route of such water way would be
up the Hudson river to the Erie canal, and
thence through the Erie canal to the great
lakes The cost would be Sl50,000, 600.
The argument for the enterprise is that it
is needed to meet competition through the
Canadian canal.

The European steamship companies are
angry because the United States govern
ment enforces strict quarantine regulations
to prevent the entrance of cholera to this

measure of retaliation, the North Atlantic
Steamship association at London has de-
cided to carry no steerage passengers after
January 2, to reduce the number of sail
ings, to raise the passenger rates, and to
withdraw the excursion rates to the Worlds
Fair. This is, of course, in the nature of
a threat, hoping it will make our govern
ment modify the quarantine regulations.

THE BERING SEA DISPUTE.

An important Cabinet meeting was held
last week to discuss the Boring Sea question.
Secretaries Blaine, Foster and Noble were
absent. The President and the Others talked
over the whole situation, and the determin-
alton was unanimous that the British posi-
ton was untenable and that we should Wig
orously maintain orr rights in that region.
1t was agreed that any other course would
result in the total determination of the
seals before arbitration could be reached.
1t was therefore decided to send another
note to the British Government in
sisting upon a renewal of the modus
cireadi and the joint protection Of the
seals by Great Britain and the United
States until the Court of Arbitration can
definitely settle the matter. Acting Secre-
tary Wharton, of the State Department, i'm
mediately sent the note, which was drawn
up under the supervision of the President,
and on Sunday, the Dist, reply was re-
ceived from Lord Salisbury, the tenor OF
which had not been made public at the hour
of going to press. 1t is understood, how
ever that it contains refusal to extend the
mOdus rirendi. If this should prove to be
so, then there is no other course left
for Us but to at once put into the Bering Sea
a force Of naval vessels and revenue cutters
sufficient to drive every poacher out Of those
waters and keep them out. There is no
doubt that the President fully intends to
| do this, and the first intination that the
country VIII have of the unfavorabIe char
acter Of Lord Salisburyis note will be the
resumption of great activity in all the navy
yards. This will be as highly approved by
the country as was the Administration
vigorous policy in the Chilean matter.
