RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY MEMO.


Let us take churches as a text for
a "RambIe." Like other sermons it
may wander all around the subject
in regular ministerial style. Too
often, you know, text is merely a
string on which to hang inconse-
quent generalities that have no
more vital relationship to the
string than seaWeed hastoa ships
cable. The generalities and sea
weed may each serve indeed to OBJ
scure the text end the cable and to
befoul both.
During the transition from youth
into manhood and womanhood
there almost certainly comes a
time of restlessness under authori-
ty and general feeling of opposi-
tion to things as they are. 1t arises
in thinking youngsters, because of
the friction and lack of accord be-
tween conditions that are real and
thoughts that are ideal. You girls
read book, redolent with lofty
thoughts, and rise from its rosy and
delightful pages to be met with the
necessity of taking care Of one of
the never ending series of meals
and dish-washings that fall to your
lot. You boys follow with eager
eye the thrilling adventures of the
worlds battle. field heroes and you
awake from your day dreams to
find yourself still confronted by the
dull gray Of a very ordinary and a
very narrow career. You are
neither of you mentally broad
enough yet to see In full measure
the loftiness Of simple duty well
done or to understand heroism
that never figures on a battle. field
You grow discontented. Your dis.
content shows at any rate your
ability to think and to more or less
roughly weigh things in the scales
Of good and bad. 1t is an evidence
of individuality on your part. 1t is
the very spirit that brought forth

HAS FALLEN THROUGH.

The Proposed Deal With the New
York Base Hall Club.
From the New York Sum- Today.
The proposed deal between the New York
and Washington clubs was announced
in the Sun yesterday. has fallen through
Another attempt was made yesterday
morning by President Freedman to transfer
Joyce and Selbach to the local club, but the
offer made to Manager Schmelz would not
be accepted. while the New York club is
anxious to strengthen it's team," said Mr.
SchmelZ, Il am just as eager to make the
Washington team winning one. Mr.
Freedman wanted the best of the DEAL and
as l was in the same boat there is little
likelihood Of any deal being consummated."
From the New York World. Today.
The New York club is said to have made
an offer for 'Scrappy Bill Joyce and Out
fielder Selbach of the Washington team.
Mr. Freedman might as well have tried to
secure Shortstop Dahlen and Outfielder
Lanse of the Chicagos. The Wagners
could not afford to trade or sell Joyce or
Selbach. even if so disposed. and it is very
doubtful If any inducement could tempt
them to part with the men, leaving aside
the attitude of the Washington public on
the question.

HOME ONCE AGAIN.
The Statesmen Come Back to Their
Own Dear Diamond.


Washington's aggregation of ball tossers
returns to the home diamond today after
an absence of twenty-four days. days filled
with dark, disastrous defeat. Twenty
games have been played and four of them
have resulted favorably to the Statesmen
while one has been tied. Hard luck has
chased the team half way across the con-
tinent. Sickness has come to its men. hot
balls have been pitched against them to
injure them, and bad weather has taken
from the energies of their pitching arms.
Fortunately. the blow came at time when
the club had secured a good percentage
so that the climb back up the ladder will
not be so severe a task though the to-
bogSan had been struck while they were
down in the list.
and for that the local fans are devoutly
thankful. The western clubs are playing
the hardest kind Of ball. and their excellent
performances were doubtless at the bottom
of many of the misfortunes of the Senators
From now on to the end of the season

Death of Carroll w. Smith.

Carroll W. Smith of Anacostia, one of the
District justices of the peace, and a mem.
her Of the District bar. died at St. Eliza
heth's Asylum at 5:16 yesterday afternoon
after an illness of six weeks.
Mr. Smith was born at Brandon. VT, july
10, 1863. and was. therefore, just thirty
three years of age the day of his death,
For several months he had been a sufferer
from Brights disease, and the disease and
overwork unsettled his mind to such an ex.
tent that few weeks ago he was placed in
the asylum for treatment For time he
was associated with Mr.. VIM A. Cook in
the practice of law, and was regarded as a
young man of much energy and many ac.
complishments. He leaves widow and two
small children. His funeral will take place
from the residence Of his father, c. b.

weather conditions.
All that remains now to insure success

weather The river has been in fine condi-
ton for some days past excepting that the
afternoon storms have had tendency to
roughen the surface. During the midsum-
mer thunder storms are liable to come up
at about from to O'Clock any afternoon,
and the oarsmen of couI Sc, must take their
chances. The general weather conditions
today are favorable for pleasant after
noon tomorrow, but there is. of course, the
uncertainty that always exists at this
time Of year. In the event of a thunder
storm that makes the river too rough
or that brings dOwnpOur of rain,
threatening the stability of the shells, the
races will be. of course. postponed. In case
of only light rain. however. the races will
continue.
The exhibition of cups and medals in
Moore & Leding's window is attracting un-
usual attention, and judging from the num-
Der of people who stop to examine the
beautiful trophies, which are herewith rep
resented. there is very general awakening
of interest in the event, and the crowds on
the river front tomorrow ought to be I'm
usually lalge An extra force of police
nen will probsbly be sent to patrol Aque-
duct bridge to preserve order there, in
view of the large crowds which are ex-
pected to assemble on that structure for a
vantage point of observation.
spectators attracted to the river will be
gathered here, for from this place the en-
tire cours. of all the races can be watched.
The turn for the mile and a half race is
only about a quarter of a mile above the
bridge. Sc that it is an easy matter for
these on the bridge to watch the crews
from start to finish. The start for the
eight-oared races will be made from a
point just about abreast of the Three Sis
ters, making a straight row of a mile to
the finish line, which is opposite the Po-
tomac Club float.
The Bartholdi. which will be used as the
umpire's boat. will leave the shore a little
before 3. and holders of tickets emitting
them to places on this craft should be on
hand promptly in order that the races may
not be delayed. The first race will be
started at } O'Clock, and an effort will be
made to keep the events going in their
regular order without unnecessary waits.
except between the junior and senior fourS,
when an intermssion of thirty minutes
may have to be taken to permit the Ariel
crew breathing spell. 1t is quite probable
that during this period of delay there will
be race between water bicycles, should
the river be smooth enough. The course
for such an event will probably be from
the starting line to the bridge and return,
or perhaps from the bridge down to the
line

Notes.
New for the Orioles.


1t Is ladies' day at the park.
There were only 1,GOO people at the game
in Brooklyn yesterday. The Senators de-
served better crowd.
Esper ought not to be a very difficult
problem to solve for the Washington swat
ters. 1t is a good chance to try Norton.
McJames Is now doing the best pitching
for Washington. There were many who
frowned on this ambitious young man
early in the season. but old hands who saw
his work predicted that he had the right
quality in him.
Washington plays in Baltimore tomor-
row. and Baltimore plays here Monday
Tuesday is an open date for the working
off Of postponed games, and Wednesday
the Statesmen open up in Boston for the
three-game series. Then they come back
here to meet Baltimore, and go over to
Orioletown to return the compliment a
week from tomorrow.
Boston made Baltimore a bid yesterday
for Quinn's release. Hanlon was willing
but Quinn preferred to remain with the
Orioles to run his chance for slice of the
Temple cup money.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The remarks of c. A. L. in The Star OF
yesterday have the true ring. and his ex-
pressions relative to the "humpbacked
sissy are 20 the point.
AS a wheelman of over nineteen years
continuous riding. and not having the
pleasure OF ever owning a horse, the writer
appreciates, from observation only. the
troubles of the so-called road hog The
disposition shown by the thousands of
dudes and hoodlums who have taken up
the wheel these latter days to dispute and
quarrel over the so-called right of way
has brought on the vast army of wheelmen
number of annoying regulations which
although irksome are necessary under the
circumstances, causing the many to suffer
for the indiscretion Of the few.
Not so very long ago the term wheel
man was synonymous with gentleman, and
d certain so-called "freemasonry of the

true gentleman is known by his actions
wherever he may be, and no position tests

wheel or dressed in shorts.
The Commissioners are to be congrat,l-
lated on the decided stand they have taken
relative to the suppression of the ''scorch-
er, and tits to be hoped the regulations
will be enforced rigidly, that the novice
may be convinced that all streets and
roads are not race tracks.
