Hard to Find.

A lawyers clerk is trying to serve a
process on miner named Adam Green
He has tried in vain to find his man.
when a young woman who has wit
messed his labors volunteers to assist
him. COY say, 'Bullyed, she cried to
the first man they met, 'dost thou know
a man named Adam Green?" The bull
head was shaken in token of ignorance
Then they came to another man. 10y

last the damsel, having talked it over

brightens up, and, slapping a neighbor
on the shoulder, exclaims: Dash my
wig, why he means moy feather" Then,
turning to the astonished clerk, she
cried: You shouldn ax'd for Ode

miners name, though he was a man of
substance, was hardly known even to
his own daughter.--Good Words.

Sermons Dead and Forgotten.

The wife of q departed pulpit orator
once addressed her husband as fol-
lows: There's Watty Scott, that was
at school with you, has published
books, and got thousands of pounds for
them. Why don't you publish vol
ume of your sermons, and get thous-
ands Of pounds for ;t?" For that good
lady one volume was just as good as
another; and there was no reason why
"Waverley'' should interest human be-
ings more than a collection of dis
courses all of which had set the con-
gregation to sleep. The good cleric
understood things better than his ad-
miring partner, but he did not suggest
the consideration which the astute
reader has thought Of Quite anoth-
er. He replied: "Wheesht, wumman;
they're a in print already" He add
ed no more. Nor did she. Only let
me say, as with authority, that though
the sermons you have conveyed be very
good in themselves, they will sound
very dull when delivered by you.
Just yesterday, very accomplished
man said to me, with much feeling: Il
have just been reading some of Chal
mers sermons. How could that lum-
bering stuff produce the superhuman
impression which it is perfectly GER
tain it did?" One could but say that
Chalmers could not publish that which
was the first, second, and third thing
which did the work at tn" moment of
theN awful hush, passed away. Furth-
er, the taste has changed. Much
more direct sentences are wanted now.

JAPANESE AND OUR OWN NAVY.

JAPANESE AND OUR OWN NAVY.
If we come into naval conflict with
Japan We might be worsted at the out
set. Not because Japan is so much
stronger than the United States in the
naval arm, but because most Of the
fleet of the Mikado is ON the Pacific
side of the earth, while most of ours
is distant at best forty days steam
ing. There is a disposition to over
rate the strength of Japan upon the
sea- The truth is that she is not
stronger than the United States in ma
val equipment, but she can more rap
idly concentrate her ships.
She has in service two first-class bat
tie ships, one second Sclass, five armored
cruisers, three of which are neither
fast nor effective. She has ten second
class cruisers and seventeen third
class. She has besides a fair num-
Der of torpedo boats. In that line, and
a most important one, she outclasses
US. She has other ships that raise her
vessels exclusive of torpedo boats to
forty nine. OF the lot seventeen are
wooden, iron or composite, the others
are of steel and equipped in the best
style. She has in course of construc-
ton, but not capable of service for
many months to come, several other
ships that will raise her total naval
tonnage to 200, 600 by the year 1904
Such at least, is her programme of
construction already under orders or
planned
The United States has forty-four
ships of war in her new navy. Six
first class battle ships, the oldest of
which dates back but six and a half
years. The latest of these, the Iowa
displaces 11,296 tons and has 11,000
horsepower engines and makes six
teen knots ordinary. We have two
armored cruisers of twenty and twen-
ty-one knots, two commerce destroy
ers dhe Columbia and Minneapolis) of
twenty-three knots. one deck protect
ed cruiser of twenty knots, one coast
defense fronclad monitor, one sea-going
monitor of fourteen and a half knots,
one heavy ironclad sea going monitor,
three large ironclad sea-going moni-
tors, (the Miantonomah. Amphitrite
and TERROR one powerful ram of seven
teen knots, capable of entire submer-
sion except the turtle-back deck, three
second class cruisers of nineteen knots,
two older ones of similar power, but
one makes twenty knots (the Chicago
five protected cruisers of 5000 tons
and over, three smaller cruisers, a dy-
(the Vesuvius), ten large gunboats,
swift and protected, two small gun
boats now receiving armament unpro-
tected and six torpedo boats, one hav-
ing a speed Of twenty-four and a half
knots.
In addition we have sixteen steel tor
pedo boats in course of construction
and three battle ships building; in all
sixty-three vessels. Exclusive of the
ships under construction the tonnage
displacement of the new navy is 226,-
100; very much in excess of what the
Japanese navy will be in 1904 if COM
pleted as planned We have besides
the new navy twenty-six old steam
wooden boats, thirteen old-time moni-
tors and eleven old sailing vessels, but
these count for nothing except as train
ing ships, few for transports and a
very few that might aid in harbor de-
fense.

The law cannot contemplate revenge.
Retaliation is not taken into the scheme
of human justice. Whenever one of the
administrators or executors of the law
permits even seeming of anger in it's
administration or its execution, the end
and purpose of the law is defeated. Out
in South Dakota a man murdered a
woman. He was tried. convicted and
sentenced to death, and last week was
hanged. But the Sheriff, whose office it
was to execute the criminal, permitted
the husband Of the murdered woman to
act as executioner, which he did with all
manifestations possible of revengeful
satisfaction. The incident is blot
upon the escutcheon of a civilized State

OF law in that State that makes it pos
sible for such a thing to take place.

rupt nine-tenths of the farmers of the

comes from the people who do not pay
the taxes.
The speaker evoked applause from

that ct this time when the "advance

around the people cannot afford to pay
any more taxes. That's right, tell the
truth" cried Democratic member
Mr.. Hermann said in conclusion that
what was needed in building roads was
not brains so much as money.
Mr.. Moore denied that the amend
ment was offered to kill the bill. He
declared 1t was a good measure in
some particulars, but without an APP
preparation it ought not TO become n
law. The motion to go into committee
of the whole for the amendment was
adopted by a vote Of 90 yeas to rs nays.
The report Of the committee was adopt
ed and the bill went through third
reading as amended and was laid aside
for printing and final passage. The
friends OF the measure admit that the
amendment kills the measure.

THOSE EARNED RUNS.
President n. +. Young Further Dis
cusses the Troublesome Rules.

President Young has this to add to
his ruling of an earned run: Mr..
Hough, of the Philadelphia Enquirer,
in his criticism of the earned run takes
as an instance a three-base hit by
Delehanty. That is, Delehanty reaches
third and scores on an out. MIR. Hough
is perfectly right in his construction
of the rule. Delehanty does not score
an earned run by coming home on the
out But If hit follows the out Dele
hantys run is earned, providing, of
course, all fielding chances have been
accepted.
Il want to call the attention of the
scorers to another point. If a bats
man makes a two-base hit and steals
to third and a hit follows, his run is
earned, because he would have scored
on the hit, if the hit was clean enough
to advance the runner from second to
home. OF course this point lies with
the judgment of the scorer. One point
advanced by a Western writer is mani
testify absurd. He holds that a run
should be scored as earned If four men
reach their bases on balls in success
sion and one man is forced home. A
run scored and such misplay is OBJ
viously a battery error. and how can
you possibly score it as earned"
