NEWSPAPER OPINION.

New York Sun.
Mortimer Whitehead of New Jersey
is worthy lecturer of the National
Grange and writer upon hayseed sub
iects. He has also been an employe of
the Agricultural Department Hon.
julius Sterling Norton Secretary of
Agriculture, is engaged in carrying out
the truly Democratic policy of bouncing
superfuous officeholders from his de-
partment, which has been singularly
full of them. Mr. Morton wrote a note
TO Mr.. Whitehead on April II, telling
him that his resignation, to take
effect April 10, would be ''most
thankfully accepted The National
Grange seems to have been thunder
struck. The idea that worthy lecturer
could be discharged from the department
upon which he was quartered appeared
preposterous and impossible. The
grangers demonstrated with the hard
hearted Secretary. According to the
Tribune, Mr.. Morton informed them that
80 long as he remained at the head of
the Department Of Agriculture he did
not propose to allow one of its officials
to deliver addresses or lectures in favor
of protective tariff. We dare
say that Secretary Morton also informed
the grangers that his department
had no use for itinerant worthy lee
turers, but even if he didn't, his objec
tion to protection lecture under the
administration was perfectly sound. A
government employe going about and
preaching in favor of the unconstitu
tional and robber doctrine of protection
cannot be tolerated by an administration

That COurt-Martiai.

The trial of Private Hunt of Battery F,
Second Artillery, n. G. c., before a court
martial on charge of neglect to attend
drills was resumed last night
At the opening of the court First Ser
geant George D. Baird rose to question
of privilege. He took exception to a re-
port Of the proceedings of the c0urt-martial
published in two of the morning papers to
tie effect that during the trial Attorney
Groezinger, the counsel for the accused,
had proclaimed Baird a liar and per-
jurer. The sergeant denied that he had
either lied or had committed perjury and
the publication was unjust.
Attorney G. Horatio lessen addressed
the court and declared that the reports as
published were correct.
The ruling of the court, after hearing
arguments. was that Sergeant Baird had
stated to the court that he had served the
charges and specifications upon Private
Hunt on two different dates and subse-
quently stated that he had served the pa
pers at one time.
This having been disposed of the case
OF Private Hunt was submitted without
any further testimony being offered. The
attorney for the accused made strong
argument on behalf Of the accused, after
which an adjournment was taken, decision
being reserved.

NEW BILLIARD STROKES.
How the Championship Game Was
PLAYED Last Week,

Ali the amateur and professional billi-
artists in the city have been discussing the
championship match between Ives aud
Schaefer which was concluded at Chicago
on Saturday night. The contest was
played throughout with the use Of two
strokes. both of which are entirely new in
the world of billiards. Every one inter-
ested In the game is curious concerning
the manner of making those strokes.
An expert professional player defined
them last night. Schaefer. who won the
match, did all his playing with the balls in
the anchor position. Ives used the rub
stroke. Each is peculiar to the player
using the movements, with which each
broke all records in runs. ives scored 290
points in succession and Schaefer made
$40 without break.
"a balk line is drawn with chalk on the
cloth around the table, fourteen inches
from the Sides" said the expert by way of
explanation. ''At each corner of the table
these chalk lines cross, forming corner
square fourteen inches each way. In using
the rub stroke Ives kept the two balls
frozen against the cushion, one on either
side of the line at square. The cue ball
was kept on the line aud the expert played
first on the red. then on the white, never
allowing either to cross the line and always
leaving .hem frozen at the end or each
stroke by which he made point. To do
this he had TO draw with the cue-ball. The
stroke is marvel of experiences.
"Schaefer's new movement was scarcely
less difficult. but made better appearance
on the table. He calls it the anchor
stroke, and 1t is always a diagonal play.
The two alternative object balls we're
placed diagonally opposite In the corner
square. He played on the balls in turn.
AS the cue ball struck the red and carrOmed
IN "a ~ Ia ohiapt hall hif sbinn
and rebounded TO its former position OPP
posite the white. In the succeeding stroke
he sent the white against the cushion in
like manner. The relative positions of the
two balls never changed during the course
of his championship run"

SPIRIT SOUNDS.
The Fisher Family Is
Aroused.
Without Visible Means the Electric
Bell Plays Tattoo to the
Wonder of the Neighbors.

The youthful members OF II. P. Fishers
family were nearly frightened out OF their
wits in the small hours Yesterday.
Mr.. Fisher, who is bookkeeper for Levi
Strauss u Co.. resides al 1910 Washington
street. He is well known in mercantile
circles and is the pink of propriety. BIS
neighbors, however, might be forgiven if,
being awakened from their beauty sleep,
they imagined the internal racket which
blistered their ears yesterday was caused
by the most correct paterfamilias comm
home very late-or early, to be more cor
rect-buIdened with what is known among
the unregenerate as a "well-developed Jag"
1t was not SO. however, but something
curious aid take place that accounted for
the nocturnal disturbance. The electric
bell began to ring most furiously and
awakened the Fisher household. The
young olive branches pOked their heads
out of several windows and yelled who's
there?"
There was no answer unless the cessa-
ton of the BELLS clamor could be accepted
as one. The young offshoOt5 OF the Fisher
family reported that all was right and
were about 10 jump into bed again when
the bell again began To ring as If the but

windows were thrown up and the perss-

Lights began, too. to fash in the adjacent

PURITY OF THE PRESS.
Lecture Upon Newspapers Before an
Audience of Ladies.


Audience of Ladies.
In the course of a lecture upon News
papers," delivered before the Pacific Coast
Woman's Press Association last evening.
Frederic Beecher Perkins took occasion to
make some caustic remarks relative to the
recent movement for press reform.
Going back nearly 400 years, he drew the
attention of the audience to Lord Bacon's
statement in his Essay on Truth: "a
mixture Of lie doth ever add pleasure"
pointing out that the great philosopher
was forming a text for fake" papers.
The lecturer added that the charges
brought by the ladies of San Francisco
against some of our city papers were not
new. writers have been bringing them for
the last 80 years. This statement was
supported by number Of quotations from
eighteenth and early nineteenth century
writers.
Mr.. Perkins then showed how vastly
modern papers have improved in news
and enterprise by exhibiting a copy of
journal for March II, ITO, which gave an
account of the Boston massacre. The
paper was made sensational by four rude
ef6g;es OF collins, surmounted by cross
bones, and "the public waited for that
paper till the next issue, seven days after
the tragedy"
A number Of extracts from interviews
with famous men were then read. stating
In what respects the average modern paper
falls below the ideal and suggesting how
It's shortcomings might be rectified. The
lecturer also drew attention TO the merits
and business energy of modern papers,
saying: The constant watch upon our
municipal and other in situations by the
papers is a safeguard to the community."
