DIR. Alexander G. Howe. the Famous Body

Tho term physical culture is so often
misused that many Of its followers had
rather be called gymnasts, or athletes, but
tho body building that is implied In the
phrase physical culture" differs largely
from both athletics and gymnastics,
One of tho highest authorities on body
building Is DR.. Alexander c. Howe, whc
presides over the athletic department OF
the Y. M. G. A. of New York. His per.
sonal attention is devoted to the Central
association, where he watches over and
directs the physical exercises of nearly
1000 young men, and the system of his
class drills and graded work on tho appa-
ratus for beginners has reached out all

Razorback hogs are not the only things
which begin to "root" In tho spring. The
baseball enthusiasts divide that work with
their four legged colaborers. Nobody has
been able to trace the origin of tho word
"root" as popularly applied to baseball ex-
citement, but IL has become national In
its application. The schedule meeting Of
the major League which was held In New
York city tho last week In February, is
the preliminary gun of tho new baseball
campaign. Championship dates for 1896
were assigned TO the l2 clubs, the rules
were revised where they proved TO be weak
last year, and "all ready" was passed
along the line.

patiently until adjournment, re-
marked to a BULLETIN representa-

The Raines liquor law in New York
has done one good thing 1t has
forced liquor sellers one step lower in
degradation. If every shred Of re
spectability' could be snatched away
from the saloon it would be easier to
crush it entirely. The Wine and Spirit
Gazette thus laments the result Of the
Raines law:
We publish elsewhere a communica-
ton from a wholesale liquor dealer on
the so-called Raines hotels Our cor
respondent has been in the liquor BUSH
ness for more than thirty years and is
thoroughly posted on the needs and
wants Of the trade. He is in close touch
with the retail trade and his opinion
carries great weight. He fears that
the Raines hotels, many of which. it
Is said, have been allowed to become
mere designation houses. viii soon cast
reproach upon all saloonkeepers who
have turned their places into hotels
even though they may keep respecta-
BILE places The keeper of a Rafnes
hotel viii soon be classed in public
opinion with the keeper of a disor-
derby house. on the other hand our
correspondent knows the needs of the
trade. He realizes that many of those
who have turned their saloons into no.
tells would prefer to keep respectable
places but are reluctantly compelled
to close their eyes to the questionable
character of their sO-called hotels on
account of the enormously increased
expenses under which they are con
Quoting their business. The high liquor
tax under the Raines law and the in
creased rent for the additional ten
rooms must be met or else the bust
ness cannot be continued.
Our correspondent favors total
abolition Of the hotel clause in the
Raines law by the substitution Of a
provision which viii allow the sale Of
liquor on Sunday under certain restric-
lions. The whole subject should re-
ceive the careful consideration Of the
legislature. IF many of the Raines
hotels are allowed to do business for
another year on the same lines as they
have done in the past six months a sa-
loonkeeper who has turned his place
into a hotel viii place himself under
the ban of being classed as a bawdy
house keeper in public estimation,
though he may be ever SO honest in his
endeavor to keep a respectable place.
