b Horse racing is rot vicious because vice
may grow out Of it. Athletic contests are
not degrading and demoralizing because
some men bruiso and sometimes kill each
other in a prize fight Rowing is not dis
reputable because some oarsmen get
drunk and swear. And so on through the
list of pastimes that are known under the
general name Of sports. Nevertheless,
there are a great many well intentioned
people who cannot consider the sport it.
self as separate from the actions of GER
tain devotees Of it which may have a ten
dency to degrade or corrupt They cannot
see in thoroughbred race horse anything
except a. concomitant to gambling out
fit. nor in a race track anything except a
smooth way around which men may rush
to perdition.
Very many Of these narrow minded peo-
pie find their way into state legislatures
after every election, and thus it comes
about that legitimate sports are frequent
ly attacked by legislatures because of the
doings of ilegitimate sportsmen. There
is therefore, large field Of usefulness
for the new American sporting league,
report Of the formation of which was pub
lished in our dispatches Wednesday. The
league numbers among its members some
of the best known and most honorable
business men in the country; men who
would not for moment think Of defend
ing or protecting gambling or any other
illegitimate business. Their pur-
pose is to see. If possible,
that the good intentioned, but badly
informed legislators make distinction in
their law-making between gambling sports
and legitimate sports-that is, those that
are INDUCED in for pleasure, improve
ment, recreation, etc.
Foot bali is at present somewhat un-
der the ban. 1t has been threatened with
Legislation, if, indeed, it has not already
been prescribed by some of the legisla-
lures at present or lately in session. The
league, presumably. will interest itself in
foot BALL have the rules revised and pull
the noble game out of its troubles. Rae
ing and boxing are being given figura-
tive "black eyes" in various parts of the
country. The league will look after those
matters. The hunting laws of a number
of the states are fun of faults. These will
have the attention of the league.
One of the most important details Of the
leagues objects, however, is that it favors
and will work for good country roads
There cannot possibly be too much agita-
ton of that subject, and any reputable
organization that has a good roads para
graph in its constitution deserves COM
mendation and success.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-04-15

The New York Times notes the inter
esting fact that three young men who
lately applied to the New York presbytery
for license to preach were asked, in the
course of an examination to which they
were submitted, to express an opinion as
to the probable fate. after death, of So
crates and Plato. One of the candida tes
declared unheS.tatingly that both those
Greek philosophers were eternaHy lost;
the second was equally sure that another
chance was given them in the other world.
and the th.rd said he didn't know. Where
the funny element comes in is IN the an
nouncement that all three Of the young
men were duly licensed to preach.
In connection with those spurious pink
postage stamps, one thing is certain-the
counterfeter was not a Bostonian The
genuine pink stamps were inartstlc.

Oliver c. Perry, the train robber who
broke out of the Matteawan IN " asy-
lum the other day is the most dashing des-
per2do since Jesse James. The crime for
which he was serving time was very SEN
sational. In 1892 he boarded a New York
Central express train at Syracuse. While
the train was under way at fifty miles an
hour he climbed to the top of the express
car and using a rope and hook let himself
down the side of the car to the window.
Smashing the window with the butt of his
revolver, he swung himself inside. The
express agent was ordered to throw UP
his hands, but instead of doing so he
grasped the bell rope, when Perry fired
two bullets into him. Arriving at Lyons
station Perry stole freight locomotive
and attempted to escape. He was pursued
with a passenger locomotive. Perrys en-
gine's steam gave out and he took to the
woods. After a desperate siege he was
captured In jail he tried several times
to Kill his keepers and escape. and once
or twice came near being successful So
desperate and so clever a. criminal is he
that during the earlier part of his confine-
ment, after his attempts to escape, he was
kept always in irons. He is an educated
man.

American GrindstOnes.

A discovery has been made in South
Dakota which will give employment to
thousands Of people in the United
States and keep in this country many
millions of dollars. The new industry
is that of making the finest grades Of
grindstones, which have hitherto been
imported from England, Bavaria and
France. Quarries of stone have been
recently been found which supply stone
equal to the finest grade imported.
Specimens of the grindstones have been
submitted to all the we'll known OK
perts, who have agreed that no better
grade Of stone is In existence.
For the highest class Of grinding,
such as fine cutlery, razors, surgical in.
struments, ETC., a stone is required
which will cut quickly 80 as not to
take the temper out Of the steel. This
is work for which the new stone is Pc
culiarly fitted. Some beds of the stone
are so hard as to supply the place Of
emery wheels. One firm Of machinists
in New England has given orders to
their London agent not TO buy any
more grindstones. They consider that
the American stone is perfectly adapt
ed to their needs.
The supply is practically inexhaust'
IDLE. At present the stone is no cheap
er than the imported article, even with
the ten per cent. duty added.

Cow Saved q Train.

Engineer Kirkmsn, who came in on
the eastbound train Saturday night,
reports On interesting occurrence. As
he was running along ut full speed,
Kirkman says his attention was at
tracted by q COW, which seemed to be
coming straight down the track to meet
the train. He put his hand on the valve
and pulled out three sharp whistles.
Still the COW came on, believing at
every step and acting altogether In an
unusual manner. As much from curl
osity as anything else, Kirkmap at
length slowed up and sent the fireman
ahead to see what was the matter with
the cow. No sooner did the COW see
that the speed was slackening and that
the fireman was going to investigate
than she turned and ran straight back
down the track, stopping now and
then, looking over her shoulder and
switching her tail, as much as to say,
"Come on"
The mar followed, and by and by
saw the cow stop short at a high trestle.
Going up he discovered another COW
which had fallen and got herself fas-
tenedin the trestlework squarely across
the rail. It took a few moments to re
lease the animal, and the two friends,
after plainly showing their gratitude,
lost no time in %scampering away out OF
danger.-Dallas Texas Dispatch to

A Missionary Freak.

Andrew Spence, who wheels around
in the State of California, is said to be
the only bicycle missionary in the
world. He has rugged his wheel with
a sail, and gets considerable aid from
the wind when it happens to be blow
ing just right. The Ten Command
ments are printed on the sail, and the
masts and yardarms are used for the
display of religious charts. These
charts, according to Spencer, show
when time shall end. He has already
covered about 500 miles on his wheel,
but is disappointed in the work of his
sail, which frightens all the horses he
meets, and, owing to the changeful
course of the wind, often retards rather
than aids his progress.

The ancient tree was II feet high,
and, by the rings, approximately 1875

Indians graduating from Dartmouth
long ago set out the tree as a memorial
pine. A hymn was composed by them,

Power OF q Pianist.

1t requires more force to sound a
note gently on a piano than to lift the
lid of a kettle. A German composer
has figured that the minimum pressure
of the finger playing pianissimo ID
equal to one hundred and ten grams--
a quarter of a pound. Few kettle lids
weigh more than two ounces, says the
Musical Courier.
The Germans calculations are easy
to verify II one takes a small handful
of coins and piles them on q key Of the
piano. When q sufficient quantity is
piled on to make q note sound they
may then be weighed and these figures
will be found to be true.
If the pianist is playing fortissimo q
much greater force Is needed. AT
times q force of six pounds IL thrown
upon q single key to produce a solitary
effect. With chords the force is gen.
orally spread yer the various notes
sounded Simultaneously, though q
greater output of force is undoubtedly
expended. This lie what gives pianists
the wonderful strength in their fingers
