lose all the popularity 1T has enjoyed
This season has been the most dlsas-
trous In It's history, and the beggarly
crowds that attended the games IN
almost all of the twelve cities in the
League show that public interest IN
the professional games is almost
dead. The losses this year nave
been enormous, and increase In size
with every game that is played.
Something must be done, or another
wear will find the sport on the eve OF
complete dissolution. If the mana
gers are wise, they will come TO-
gether, lay aside their chickering's ana
iealousies, with which the public Is
thoroughly disguised, and go to work
on a plan of complete and thorough
reorganization, determined to fur-
nish the public next season with
games worth paying to see, with
sport worthy of public patronage.

THANKS to the muniticence of
Charles II. Yerkes. Chicago is to have
the largest telescope on earth. The
gift is not only timely but appropri-
ate. A large instrument would have
been acceptable to any other city.
Nothing but the very largest on earth
would do for Chicago. The great
school is now made strong in it's only
weak place, and is becoming univer-
sity indeed. BY means of Mr. Yerkes'
giant spyglass it will doubtless be
possible to plat the moon out into
suburban lots. If so, Mr.. Yerkes
should be granted the exclusive fran
chise to run cable cars between here
and there.

THE recent n-Austrian mill

THE recent German-Austrian mill
tary race, undertaken under the
auspices of and encouraged by both
Emperors, was disgrace to both
Governments and should inspire an
indignant protest from every humane
nation on the face of the earth. So
far as the speed and staying quail
ties of the respective prairie-bred
Hungarian and stable-reared German
horses are concerned the race estab-
lished nothing that was not known
before. 1t was competition in bru-
tality and barbarity in which the
Austrians won. There is nothing
left for the latter to boast of except
that he is perhaps more cruel than
the German. One dispatch states
that the majority of the German
horses staggered past the finish post
at Florisdorf ruined. Another dis
patch states that the horses were
kept up with whisky and other slim
ulants. Many of them came in with
split hoofs and other evidences of
horrible torture which have crippled
them for life. Many were killed.
Some had to be forcibly dragged past
the post. Nearly all were torn with
spurs and striped with welts of the
whip. And these were all high
horses, nervous, sensitive, and pc
culiarly liable to suffering under such
tlendish treatment. The Latin races
always have been noted for their in
human treatment of dumb animals,
but how much better off in this re-
spect are the Teutons of Austria and
Germany? 1t is some compensation
to know that if such race had been
run in this country the brutes guilty
of it, if they had been in the army,
would have been summarily dismissed
in disgrace, and the whole country
would have risen in indignant pro-
test. No person of even ordinary
humanity can fail to look upon this
race, in which Austrians have won,
except with feelings of loathing, dis
gust and Indignation.

as the brainy testers had hoped.

An Interesting Institution.

Vinton is the seat Of the Iowa
College for the Blind, a most inter-
esting institution supported by the
State. During a recent visit to it
the writer learned many things per-
tanning to it's management, and the
class of afflicted people whom it is in
tended to aid and educate.
The Iowa school was opened April
4. 1853, at Iowa City. In August,
1852, it was removed to its present
site. The first principal, through
whose exertions the institution was
founded, was Samuel Bacon, blind
man, graduate of the institution at
Columbus, Ohio. The school is sup
ported by three classes of appropria-
tions: First, $4,000 per annum for
salaries of officers and teachers; sec
ond, $40 per quarter for each pupil
enrolled-this is called the current
expense or living fund; third, special
appropriations for furniture, building
purposes, etc. Students from other
States and Territories may be
admitted on payment Of S216
yearly. The law states in sub
stance that every blind person of
school age and every person OF age
with sight so defective that he can
not obtain an education in the public
schools is entitled to instruction in
the college for the blind. This liber-
atty admits three classes Of pupils:

One Man Appears Able to Do ANY Con-
ceivable Amount of Work.
"Curious things about Chinese laun-
dries-the Chinese laundry, whether
the working force is one or many, re-
fuse no work, and it is always finished
at the time specified. This remark
was made by a well-known club
man during conversation with
some friends few weeks ago when
the conversation had drifted to shirts.
There were some fifteen gentlemen
present, according to the New YORK
World. and some one of the party
suggested that it would be good fun
for the crowd to look up all their
laundry for that week, personally
descend one at a time on some soil
tary Celestial and engulf him with
custom unexpected.
A solitary Chinese laundryman was
hard to find. But after some search
there was found in a basement one
who sprinkled clothes through his
teeth. All that day long line OF
customers dropped down and in, each
loaded down with his washing for the
week.
It could be seen that the exile from
the Flowery Kingdom had already d
very large business connection in the
neighborhood. But he said no word
at the influx of new custom, but took
the packages one by one, tore his
paper checks in two, handed half
to the customer and blandly re-
marked, "Slateday," and resumed his
ironing. He seemed unconscious OF
the fact that the place was crowded
SO that moving around was difficult
with the accumulation of new work.
And promptly Saturday afternoon
it was all done. A watch had been
set upon the place, and though the

The English throne, used in the

THERE seems to be very little
probability that Mr.. Edwin Booth
will ever return to the stage. Should
this be the case, the world will lose
the greatest actor of modern times.
the best interpreter of works of
Shakespeare the stage has ever seen.
To his inheritance of stage talent he
added hard, intelligent and pains
taking study, and an experience
which, beginning in boyhood, lasted
for long lifetime. With all the
traditions of the stage he was
familiar, and even when his strength
had almost failed him, his genius
was apparent in all he did. 1t will
be many a day before the stage looks
upon his like again.

THE long Venezuelan distrac ton
has come to close, for a time at
least. in the capture of the capital by
the victorious Crespo and his appoint
ment as President. Apart from all
other issues at stake, the Presidency
of Venezuela is prize worth striving
for While the salary of the office is
but s25, 600 year, it is reported that
Blanco made s25. 900. 900. Palacio,
the fugitive President, $4,000, 600,
and Crespo himself $1,000, 900 from
1882 to 1884 when he was at the head
of affairs, So long as these opportu-
mites for Doodle remain, however,
there is not much prospect of perma-
nent peace. After Crespo has had
his grab there will be more candidates
for the Presidency and its lucrative
privileges

THERE is one piece of real estate
in Maine which is entailed so far as
such property can be in this country,
says the Bangor Wing and Courier. 1t
is known as Dundee" and is situated
in the town of Limington. In 1868
Francis Small bought it, with other
lands, from the Indians, the original
deed being yet preserved in the fam
lily. Having descended from father
to son for several generations, Hum
phrey Small purchased a small section
of his fathers land, which he named
Dundee" and he stoutly affirmed
that Dundee should remain in the
ownership Of the Smalls forever, and
that it should be allowed to become
a forest again. Twice he was offered
more than double it's value, but al
though hard pressed for money, he
remained true to his declaration. On
the 28th of November this property
will have been in possession OF the
family 223 years, and to commemor-
ate this, and also to celebrate the
centennial of Limington, which was
organized in 1892, the family had a
reunion and picnic last week. Next
year they propose to celebrate their
225th anniversary with larger gath
ering, to include all of the Small
family that can be gathered together.

GRAVE and reverend bishops met
in a London suburb to discuss the
problem of poverty. The proceedings
were rut1ied somewhat by the distri-
button of pamphlet, clearly incen-
diary, accusing the gentlemen of be-
ing, among other things, we'll fed,
and suggesting that a portion of The
fairness of their salaries be set aside
for the alienation of distress. The
obnoxious literature was garnere1 by
the ianitor and the Mortified bishops

problem of poverty quite unsolved.

First, the blind; second, the partially
blind, or those who would not attend
the public schools under any con-
sideration; third. the defective sight
ed, or those whose vision is almost
normal, but who would become blind
by the visual strain necessary in
schools for the sighted. The law also
states that the township secretaries
shall report to their county superin-
tendents the names of all blind per-
sons in their respective townships,
and that the county uperintendents
shall report such names to the prin-
cipal of the college for the blind.
Theoretically the LAWS perfect; prac
tically it is of very little value. Not
10 per cent. of the young blind are
reported to the college through this
channel. Six trustees, appointed for
term of four years by the Legis-
lature of the State, have entire con-
troll Of the institution. They appoint
the principal and other officers and
are responsible to the Legislature.
The grounds surrounding the
school comprise forty acres: twenty
in pasture, ten in meadow and ten
reserved for play and ornamental
grounds. No more healthy or agree
able location can be found in Iowa.
The college building is about three
hundred feet long by fifty wide. 1t
is four stories in height, heated by
steam and reasonably we'll adapted
for it's office. 1t is built of stone,
rooted with slate, supplied in every
part with hot and cold water and con-
tains large, airy halls and rooms.
Four iron stairways lead from top to
bottom, giving outlet to every part
of the building. Provisions against
fire are so complete that the whole
house could be flooded in few min
utes A Waterman visits all parts
of the institution every hour during
the night.
The school was established in or
der that the citizens of the State
might have for their blind children
the same advantages afforded by the
public schools. 1t is supported by
tax. as the public schools are sup
ported by tax 1t is in fact public
boarding school, and is not and never
can be college, as its name indicates.
Age for admission is not limited.
Children of years are here, and
adults OF any age may be admitted to
the shops The question which takes
precedence of all others relating to
candidates for admission is: Can the
College for the Blind be of benefit to
the applicant? The main character
istic of the school is coeducation of
the blind and sighted. The present
enrolment is 1s4. Of this number
SO per cent. are blind, 81 per cent.
are partially blind and IS per cent.
have defective sight. Blind and
sighted are educated together in per-
feet harmony with the best results.

The people Of the city Of Detroit
are to be commiserated. Subjects
for brain treatment in their idiot
asylum have become a majority on
their Board of Education. Uncon-
scious Of the grotesqueness Of the
proposal, they have adopted resolu-
tion declaring that no one shall be
permitted to teach in the city schools
except persons "educated" in them.
At what time education may be said
to be accomplished is question over
which wide difference may prevail.
But that education in its true sense
has about begun at the age when
girls and boys graduate from high
school benches is too we'll established
for debate. On the jejune and rudi-
mentary element thus to be obtained,
the wise men of Detroit propose tC
make the city schools hereafter eX-
clusively dependent. A Lycurgus
once tried to make Sparta great by
shutting off all intercourse with the
outside world and substituting iron
currency for gold and silver, with a
standard of value that required a
yoke of oxen to remove small sum,
so large was it's bulk. Sparta learned
in the ruin of her arts and industries
the practical meaning of exclusive
craftsmanship. That an American
city should surpass in 1893 the stu
pidity of a crank in the ninth CEN
fury before the Christian era was not
to be expected. The Detroit School
Board is entitled to the fools palm.

dinner that a friend was foolish

But there is another curious fact
about the same class of citizens. No
matter how many Cinnamon are at

done, and every one of them is iron.
ing still.
The American laundry boasts of
steam washers that wash 100 dozen
pieces at time, rotating machines to
dry, starching machines to starch,
and ironing machines to iron. Many
people believe that the Chinaman
does not believe in machinery, that
he scOrns it's use. But such is not
the case. Chinese laundrymen can
not get laundry machinery for either
love or money. Each piece sold is
with the solemn promise that it shall
not fall into the hands of the Chinese
competitor.
The American laundry journals
and there are five or six of them
keep up the crusade. The Chinaman
is quick enough to see the advantage
improved machinery would give him,
but there is no Chinese laundry in all
this land that has as much as a starch
machine, save one solitary exception,
duly chronicled in the laundry trade
papers.
A Cinnamon on Nineteenth street,
near Third avenue, Birmingham,
Ala, has an old-style collar and cuff
iron, the motive power of which is
supplied by an aged but muscular
negro, who industriously turns the
handle, while the almond eyed pro-
prietor Of the place gazes at the work
ings of the gas-heated rollers with
complacent pride. For he is the only
Chinaman in this country, so far as
known, who has machine to assist
him in his work. Where he got it is
a mystery the laundry papers are still
trying to solve.

In Book Binding.

Yet another application has been
found for metal, which is now being
substituted for cardboard in book
binding. This novelty is known as
the British Pellisfort" binding, and
it consists in the use of thin sheet
metal for covers. The metal is spe-
cially prepared. and the cover may be
bent and Strengthened again without
perceptible damage. The metal is,
of course, covered with the leather
usually employed in book binding,
and the finished book presents no
difference in appearance lcept in the
greater thinness of the cover.
