ON PLEASURE BENT.
President Doesn't Allow Bad Weather TO
Interrupt His Plans

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The snow was
falling thick and fast. the White House
grounds were under white mantel Of
about six inches and the wind was blow
ing lively last evening, when the White
House carriage drove up TO the executive
mansion and President Cleveland and two
associates started off on their second
pleasure trip down the Potomac river.
The presidents companions were Secre-
tary Gresham and Captain Evans, se.se-
tary Of the lighthouse board 1t was
rough day to start on an outing trip on
the water, but the president was well
muffied, and looked rugged and vigorous.
The party was driven to the wharf,
where they boarded the lighthouse tender
Violet, and with guns and other traps the
little craft started for the waters Of the
lower Potomac. The party expect to be
gone several days. The Violet will cruise
about from point to point, and it's passen-
gers will take things easy. When an op-
portunity presents itself the president
will try his luck at duck shooting

CANCER KILLED HIM.
Steele Maokaye Dies While on a Journey to
Restore His Health.

LAPUNTA, Col. Feb. 26.-Steele Mac
kaye died on train near here yesterday.
He was feeling badly on his arrival here
Saturday on special car of the Santa Fe,
and the party remained over night. Yes
terdsy morning he felt easier, and ~ z -
the party started south, but Mr.. Mackaye
rapidly grew worse, and died before the
train reached the next station. He was
conscious to the last, bads all those
around him good bye. and said they had
done all they could for him.
An autopsy showed the cause of death
TO be a cancer In the stomach. Some OF
the best physicians In Chicago had ex-
aminsd him aud all had decided his all
ment was nervous exhaustion, except one,
who declared IL to be cancer. The de-
ceased weighed about 220 pounds and was
81 years old. He leaves a widow and six
children, five boys and one girl. all
grown.
Steele Mackaye was born at Fort Por-
ter, now portion OF the city OF Buffalo,
about 81 years ago. He fought in the war
OF the rebellion and was gazetted major.
He studied the dramatic art in France
both before and after the war, being
pupil Of GARNER and later Of Francois
Delsarte.
While returning 10 America he was
persuaded by Tom Taylor in London to
assums tie title role OF Hamlet In a grand
revival OF that play at the Crystal Palace,
and his success WAS great. Probably
nothing but another OF the serious i'll
nesses which have marked Mr Macksye's
career diverted him from lifetime Of
Shakespearian Interpretation.
His productions in America included
"Marriage," Rose Michel" Queen and
Woman" Through the Dark" "An
Iron WILL" Hazel Klrke," "A FOOLS
Errand,n "Rienzi," "a Noble Rogue"
"Money Mad" and Others.

of shopkeeper, may pow cover the

 moreover. mainly upon credit It may
 be doubted whether. except In those transactions which are called "finan- cial," and which really mean the talk ing of heavy bribes for pecuniary sup port, any one transaction ever yields quite as much as the same transaction would have yielded sixty years ago: whether. for example. any cargo ever produces ton for ton an equal margin of profit; or whether any customer in n shop pays quite so heavy a percent age on the goods he buys,
 It Is the magnitude and multipiica- ton of cargoes which yield fortunes; the thousands. instead of hundreds. of customers whom clever dealers may in- duce to spend money. The new system of rapid turnover is. of course. precise qy the same thing-the dealer selling four times what he did. and using only the, same capital. This advantage of scale is almost entirely wanting to the professional man. for the obvious req son that he is hampered by limitations of time.
 There are only six hundred minutes in hard worked day, and the seeker after income, be he as able as he may. or as decided, or as rapid. must give some of those minutes to each client or patient or contractor with difficulty to meet. If he does not. he loses cus- tom, and with custom income rapidly slips away. There are, no doubt, fa- vorite lawyers. doctors and even engi- neers, whose advice is sought at great expense, when equally good advice is procurable much cheaper; but stin, the favorites must give their advice. and lose their days in doing It, or they will speedily be deserted.
 Nothing can alter this first law, while the exaggeration of professional fees is kept down, in the case of solici- tors, by positive statute. fin that of doc tors by an etiquette difficult to define or explain-there seems to be no reason why a great physician should not charge according to skill-and in that of barristers and engineers. by a com petition, which, though never acknowl- edged, is none the less real and effec- tive.

FooTB4LL AND sALVIrION.

It is queer how differently different people see the same thing. Take the Lewis memorial site. for instance. But what We started to do was to call at tention to two different views of the great game Of football. It may be re- membered that in Grand Rapids. Mich igan. there Is such harmony between football and religion that on Thanks giving day the Park Congregational church postponed Its service until even Ing so that the Sunday school leader and many packers of the Grand Rapids high school football team could attend a game in which that team took part This may seem 10 some a rather ex- treme case of harmony. but here is an incident which will keep the balance. One of the principal churches In n west ern college town has taken action against football, not only because of It's brutality, but because 1t desecrates the Sabbath. Not that games are played on Sunday. but that the big games are put on Saturday afternoon so that many of the players cannot get home till after midnight. This Is supposed to show conclusively. In the language of the declaration, that football and sal vation cannot 80 together"
 One of Yale's wisest and most dis tinguished professors says that football and salvation can and do go together. He does not give his reasons for the faith that is in him. Perhaps he bases 1t on the Scripture which saith: And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take 1t by force" Those who are not so wise or so distinguished as the Yale professor may good-naturedly hope that football and salvation can and do go together, especially as there appears to be great need of such union.
