"NeutraI' Attitude Discussed.

Immediately upon hearing of the changed

whom we had been relying for the protec-
ton of the rights of the bondholders we
communicated with some of the large bond
holders and took steps for an independent
Intervention in their behalf Of ali other
bondholderS. Although subjected great
pressure in the preparation of papers, the
case was fully presented by our counsel,
and We are happy to say the court ha.; de-
cided in favor of the consolidated mortgage
and has denied the application of :he uni
Versity.
THE Johns Hopkins trustees took an
appeal from the decision, and the case is
Tow in the hands of the United States Su-
rrenle Court, where argument upon ii will
be heard carly in January next. Ordinarily
the case would not have been reached for
several years, but in view of the great i'm

Johns Hopkins University which are at
stake, an adverse decision meaning a loss

STON'S GENE OSITY

The base ball season of 1898 can be said
to close with the publication by President
Young of the batting averages of the play
crs of the National League. of which he is
the head. With the minds of the magnates
removed from the playing of the game, the
diplomatic department of base ball will now
come to the front and the laying of pipes
will be a continuous performance until the
annual meeting in New York in December.

tration last Friday, and it is believed that
the first step looking TO the betterment OF
the national game in the big metropolis Will
result from this visit. Notwithstanding ru-
mors III continual circulation, President
Young trains with no faction of base ball
magnates. He is essentially peacemaker.
and it is probably in this role that he has
gone to New York to patch up differences
existing between President Freedman of
the New York club and other magnates.

The Boston management has done
good thing in permitting its fingers to
lax its awful grip On the clubs bank roll
and demonstrate to the players and public
that good, honest ball playing is apprec-
atcd. For the first time in the history of
the Boston Base Ball Club Messrs Soden,
Billings and Conant have parted with some
of their enormous base ball profits. AT
benefit performance in one of the Boston
thtatcrs Friday evening il was announca1
from the stage that Manager Sclee and his
men would be the recipients of prize of
s.. $40 from the Boston magnates for win
ming the Dennant. As there are seventeen
players on the Boston club pay roll this
means present of about Si5o to each play
CT. In addition to this the benefit nettad
the players about 800 each: so il can he
seen that the winning Of the championship
has not been an empty honor after all.
The Boston club is said to have cleared
$1U00Go last year and did not give the play.

They made $5pmti this year. ana while
5000 is small as compared with the profits

The meeting of the league in New York
in December Will probably be the most i'm
purtant held ny the major organization
since the consolidation that took in the
American Association. OF actual IegISia-
tion there really is none necessary. The
Brush resolution. while TO player has been
tried under its provisions. has had the et-
feet of relieving spectators Of the unpleaS-
antness of hearing lot of obscene and pro
fame language. only the players them
selves and the umpires are now favored
with this kind of talk. The Brush resOlu-
ton has been a success. as far As the spec
tators are concerned. and. after all, they
are the ones for whose benefit the rcSoiu
tion was adopted. Other legislation for the
subduing of the rOwiy spirit i'll players is
good enough to stand if it We're only en-
forced by the maguateS and the umplreS.
So it is perfectly clear that the problems
which confronted those magnates who had
the national game at heart last winter have
been disposed of for some time to come.
After routine legislation has been disposed
of, the work of the magnateS will almost
be cut out fOr them: that is, paTceled out

Why Some Babies Are Cross.

1t SeCnS almost absurd to advise moth
ers not 10 pinch babies feet, and yet ply
sicianS say that much of the fretfulness
and ,rrdtation of baby hood is due to tight
shoes and stockings.
Not tight, perhaps. from grown-up
standpoint, bat sufficiently snug to hurt
the tender, soft flesh of baby feet The
shoes that are gotten for the very little
baby are often actual instruments of tor
ture because of some slight roughness OF
pressure.
If the shoe fit snugly, no matter how
soft it is. the sole is sure to press into the
sensitive flesh and irritate the temper il
not actually injure the nerves.
Baby flesh is SO soft that mothers or
nurses often do not notice how badly the
little foot is being crowded until impeded
circulation tells the story of suffering.
And imall stockings are rs frequently
means of injury as are small shoes.
Always buo both shoes and stockings at
least one size larger than the so called
'easy fit" This rule should hold good
until the foot has ceased to grow
The result would be generation of
healthier, better tempered and more
graceful men and women. From ''About
