Question has been a source OF much
grumbling and rock of offence in
many communities. Notwithstanding
the serious consideration it has re-

that it has yet reached a satisfactory
solution. Our purpose in introducing
it here is to discuss the question in
the interest OF the greatest number
that is the children of the land
1t is question of much greater i'm

BASEBALL AND POLITICS.

This Is n good time to talk baseball
1t is a great pity that more persons are
not talking baseball. and fewer talking
politics. Baseball, in the midst OF such
a political campaign. is soothing and
soporinc. 1t is good for the nerves
1t relieves the strain upon the mind.
In Baltimore, OF course, devotion to
the game to the extent of attendance
upon the grounds involves incidental
dangers in the way Of stray bullets and
other missiles, ill-aimed for the umpire
or the members OF the winning team.
But there is no such trouble in New
York
Here, in times like these. there In no
safer place than the baseball grounds.
Thugs and highwaymen haunt the city
streets, while the police are busy watch
ing the saloons. Mayoralty nominations
and other dangerous things lie in wait
on every corner for the unwary citizen.
The man who escapes the club of the
highwayman is morally certain to be
struck by "A political club next day.
At the baseball grounds all Is different.
The highway robber forgets his calling,
the politician drops his prey, and every
body joins in roofing" for New York.
No man Is in danger OF being struck by
anything worse than a hot ball.
Senator Hill would never have had to
catch that Gubernatorial fly II he had
been occupying his usual place in the
front box at the Polo Grounds instead
of fooling around Saratoga. Morton
could have saved the money he will lose
in backing Platt's game had he paid
more attention to baseball and less to
Tom Plat. A few baseball games would
give Judge Gaynor the mental training
necessary to enable him to make up his
mind in less than week whether 1t Is
better to stay where he is or TO slide for
third. Mr. Goff, from careful study OF
the pitchers curves. might better know
how to aim ball at Captains head
aid land 1t In the face OF a Commits
sioner. which, judging from present de-
velopments, is about as near as Mr. Con-
wants to come to going Higher Up.
In short, baseball IL great tonic. a
remover Of youth, a developer of nerve
fertilizer for the brain, and we all
ought to take some of 1t before the sea
son closes.

Hyricnic Table Decoration.

Take my advice and don't ornament
the dinner or tea table with candies, fancy
cakes, olives and sweetmeats. Those
things look pretty, but they are the ruin
alton Of more good systems than
science can count. Conversation is
lost art. We are a restless, awkward
race, fidgeting all the time and anxious
to be doing things or going somewhere.
Instead OF talking, chatting, listening, to
make and encourage mirth, and so liven
up digestion, what do we do? Eat like
pigs Nibble and bite at everything
within reach. Well since that is the
habit, the fashion or the vice use deco
rative articles that will aid instead of
abate the processes Of digestion. Take
away the dishes of crackers, pickles,
chocolates, burnt almonds and iced
cakes and put little onions, shreds OF
celery, fresh radishes, fresh nuts and all
the seasons fruits about. These vege.
tables exert a good influence upon the
vital organs, and even in acute stomach
and intestinal troubles fruits are often
curative. This theory is advocated by a
seventy-year-old NJ. d.

JUDGE GAYNoR DECLINES.

Judge Gaynor has declined the nomina-
ton for Judge of the Court of Appeals
ON the Democratic State ticket.
The Judges action has taken no one by
surprise. 1t was not expected that he
would accept, and 1t was inexpedient
to nominate him. Judge Gaynor is UNI
derstood to prefer political life to a seat
on the bench. He would no doubt have
accepted the nomination for Governor.
But IL was not likely that he would
change his present office with a four
teen years term for one with less com
pensation and very tile more honor.
The reasons given by the Judge for
declining to run reflect with some severi-
ty on organizations avowedly working
unselfshly for high political methods
and for better government" which re-
fused 70 indorse his nomination in ad-
vance of his acceptance or refusal He
declares with bitterness that anything
he has accomplished In the correction
of political abuses has been done through
his own efforts and that he was never
helped In money or otherwise by any
politician or political faction whatever
Judge Gaynor adds that II he thought
| the withdrawal OF his name would injure
| Senator Hills canvass he would allow II
to remain. for he regards the Senator
recent development in tho National Sen
ate as placing him with the foremost
public men Of his day, and he says:
Between him and his opponent he
should, and trus' will, prevail"
At Democratic headq llrters It was ex-
pected that the Judge would accept. The
vacancy on the ticket will be filled by

spread abroad a rumor that Mr.. Chaun-

do with politics, and that his leg will re-
main in "A condition TO compel inactivity

There is no reason whatever to be-
lieve that any politician has been pulling
Mr. Depew's leg, or that the accident
from which he is suffering is not a gem
une one. Mr. Depew may not be over
much pleased with Mr. Norton's nomlna-
tion; he may believe that brains ought
to be considered before barrels in select
ing Governor OF the great State OF New
York. But he has the courage Of his
convictions, as his polltical record proves
and will eat his crow like little man,
and publicly proclaim it's delightful quai.
