'THE BASEBALL SEASON.
TIE NATIONAL LEAGUE GAMES 10 OPEN
TO-AORR0W.
All the Teams in Fair Condition -LOcal Base
Bal Mauers-McClsiland Anxious for
Another Raes.

The National League base ball sea-
son opens tomorrow, and speculation
is already rife as to the probable pen
uapt winners. The Pittsourg team has
more admirers among the local "fans"
than any other club in the League, and
Wheeling people confidently expect the
Smoky City lads to finish the race near
the top OF the list. Pittsburg has al
ways developed unlooked-for strength
toward the close of the season, but
Manager Buckenberger thinks his men
will be in good form before the season
j. many weeks old. The club has been
lamentably weak in its batting during
the exhibition games, fault Whlcn
will be overcome by practice.
An the teams are making claims to
better places at the finish than they
occupied last year, AID the only way TO
form an estimate, leaving the element
OF luck out OF the question, is to COM
pare the individual records of the mem
bers Of the teams. Boston, New YORK
aud Cleveland are all strong. The Bal
timores are the only players who have
gone South before the opening OF the
season, and the effect OF their sojourn
in a warmer climate will be watched
with interest, and will probably have
some influence upon the plans OF the
base ball magnates in future.
Lovers Of the national game regret
that Wheeling will once more pass
through a season without being repre-
sented in base ball league. There are
enough enthusiasts ia the city, but no
person appeerS TO be anxious TO start
movement TO organize league. Such
a project was started in Charleston a
short time ago, and Wheeling was men
toned as one of the cities desired, but
the matter has probably been allowed
TO drop. There are many amateur
teams, however, and they will no doubt
continue TO develop professionals, for
which the city has a reputation.

THE WUUhNA NNN+N a AAfN II 49,
The adoption by the House Of a
Quorum counting rule in no manner in
dicatss any approval Of the methods Of
Gar REED. In the first place, tho act
OF counting those present is now sane
tioped by a rule Of the House, which
vas not the case when REED made his
famous ruling. The Supreme Court
has said that the House of Repre-
sentatives may constitutionally make
rifles for It's own government, but
II has never said that the Speaker,
without any rule 10 warrant H. might
count as present those who were pres
ent and those who were not to aid in the
passage Of partisan legislation. The
majority OF the House has now decided
70 have a quorum counted, If one be
present, and in a Democratic govern
ment the will Of the majority is always
TO be respected Should Speaker
CRISP, in the absence Of any
rule. and in violation Of all precedent,
have acted as REED did, ne would
be just as much q dictator as REED.
But ne did not. The necessity for such
= rule arose and the rule was made. In
no respect does it vindicate Mr.. REED,
who. with no authority whatever for
his course, trampled under foot the
presidents Of a hundred years and pro-
claimed himself the ruler Of the House.
Furthermore, the new rule differs
from the one OF REEDS adoption in that
the Speaker is not given the power to
count. He is TO appoint st every roll
call TWO teliers, one from each side Of
the question TO be voted on, who shall
note and have recorded the names Of
those members present and not voting.
There is 20 be 10 arbitrary ruling as to
who is present, no counting Of those a
hundred miles away, no uniairness
whatever. Both teHsrs must agree be-
fore a man is recorded as present
The rule is absolutely fair and more
than.thst rule. something Mr.. REED
did not have to back. his course. The
Philadelphia Record rightly says that
Reeds course wss without a shadow
Of authority other than mis- own sweet
viii It was the act Of dictator, and
no after legislation could rid it Of the
faint Of illegality."

Light and Darkness.

A New York electrical journal somt
time ago told of an incident that oc
Cured in the fitting up of a new Office
building near the New York end of the
Brooklyn Bridge. The engineer OF
the building wished to wire the Offices
throughout for the electric light II
addition to the gas pipes on which the
conservative proprietor insisted. But
all his arguments were in vain, aa1 the
apparently useless extravaganza o1
electric wiring was obstinatsly vetoed.
Suddenly, however, a happy thought
struck the venerable owner. "Nhy,'
he said, ''if the wires carry electricity
can't you make them carry gas, too?'
A counterpart of this story Is now told
of shipyard carpenter, native o
Troon, on the coast of AYRSHIRE, Scot.
land. When the contract for GghtiI.
the first three steamers fitted with
electric light at the Iroon shipyard
was completed this man formed one o..
a social party gathered to treat the
electricians who had made the installs
ton and otherwise celebrate the event.
In burst of candor and comra le.
ship, he was overhear! saying TO on.
of the wiremen: "Man, Peter, ct
workin' WI you on they bosts I he
lieve 1 could put in the electric liehi
mysel', but there's only ae thing tha,

help him if it lay in his power. "It's

Why Lost People Walk In Circles.

1t is matter of common knowledge
that when a man is walking blindfold
or is lost in fog or in some unknown
forest or desert instead of walking
straight he has always tendency tc
work round in circle. The most
commonly accepted explanation of this
curious fact is the slight inequality in
the length of mans legs. The result
of one limb being longer than tie
other will naturally be that a person
Will unconsciously take longer ster
with the longest limb, and conse-
quently will trend to the right or tc
the left, according as the left or right
is the longer, unless the tendency tc
deviation is corrected by the eye. The
explanation is supported by the fact
that in the enormous majority of cases
the human legs are proved to be oil
unequal length. The careful measure
ments of series of skeletons showed
that no less than ninety per cent. had
the lower limbs unequal in length |;
thirty-five per cent. had the right limb
longer than the left, while in fifty five
