BOSTON'S HOE.
rades.

| Boston is in trouble. The baseball
season has opened and Pitcher Nichols
Of the Boston Base Ball Club isn't quite
right. How seriously Boston is affect
following editorial in the Boston Her
aid: The repeated defeats which Pitch
err Nichols of the Boston Base Ball Club
has met of late have raised in the minds
of some of the devotees of the sport
question as to whether his skill is be-
coming impaired. If it should prove to
be the fact that this is so it would be a
misfortune of no ordinary character.
Nichols has been for several years the
best pitcher among all the players.
There are other pitchers who exhibit
something like phenomenal power at
times, but none has appeared so reliable
to do good work at all times as he. His
habits are of the best, he takes excellent
care of his physique, and in the head
work of his position he has never had "a
superior We are much inclined to
think that fears of Nichols falling off
are unfounded There is the element of
luck in base ball; in fact, its existence
adds to the excitement of the sport, and
the Bostons are having rather more
than their share of ill-luck just at pres
ent: but we do not believe that the ca
pacity of their great pitcher is leaving
him, or that the club will fail to take
the position that rightly belongs to 1T as
the base ball season progresses.
If Boston's Pitcher Nichols doesn't
get into shape soon it will indeed be a
misfortune of no ordinary character.

That troublesome mummy which was
left at a station Of the Northwestern
railroad in England has at last been sat
upon by a coroner The technical evil
dence and the verdict rendered were as
follows: DR. oliver, divisional surgeon,
stated that it was not possible to say
that it must have occurred many years
ago. From his examination of the body
and from inquiries he had made, he
had formed the opinion that the mum
my was that of body from Peru or
some other part of South America. The
system of burial among certain tribes
there consists of placing the body after
death in squatting position, and of
fixing it in that position to a stake or
tree and allowing it to be exposed to
the sun for certain time. BY these
means the body becomes dried of num-
mified after which it is conveyed to a
sand or other cave and there deposited.
The jury returned the following YER
dict: That the woman was found dead
at the railway goods station, Sun street,
on April Is, and did die on some date
unknown in some foreign country
probably South America, from some
cause unknown. No proofs of a violent
death are found, and the body has been
dried and buried in some foreign man
ner, probably sun dried and cave bur
led, and the jurors are satisfied that
this body does not show any recent
crime in this country, and that the de-
ceased was unknown and about twenty
five years of age.

AN INN-JAPAN,

The singing girls sat round and gig
gled while we drank tea; they giggled
and sang and giggled while we were in
itiated into the mysteries of a Japanese
dinner; they danced and ate sweets and
sucked oranges while we had our after
dinner smokes, and then, at about nine
o'clock, they dropped on their knees at
the door, touched the mats with their
foreheads, and shuffield away, giggling
and chatting, down the stairs.
What impressed us was the cleanliness
of the inn. There was simplicity about
everything. No attempt was made at
shoddy grandeur. The mats were una
dorned, the woodwork was implanted.
But blue vase in one corner, wherein
was stuck a green branch, insignificant
though 1T was. gave artistic fragrance
to the apartment. The food was served
neatly, in trim dishes, and all the dish
es We're arranged trinity on lacquer
trays
1t was, however, not particularly APP
petizlng to three hungry wheelmen.
Japanese fare Is scrappy and finicky.

and there is a blood tingling breeze, and

A ILSTRr4,S TRIDE.

The government Of Austria has been
worrying over the depressed condition
of Austrian trade, and as result of it's
worry has presented proposition to es-
tablish a new bureau, which shall send
commercial agents all over the world at
public expense, and organize number
of export syndicates" at home These
suggestions are not regarded with very
much favor by the mercantile commu-
nifty, which criticises them pretty
sharply in memorial presented to the
Chamber of Commerce of Lower Aus
tria. What is chiefly wanted, the doc
ument declares, is a domestic policy
favorable to industry. The first task
of the government should be to render
the access to the sea more easy, and
generally to improve and cheaper COM
munication. The memorial points to
the example of Germany, which has
placed her whole railroad system at
the service of her export trade by
means Of reduced rates. State aid Is
also advocated for the establishment in
foreign countries of capable representa-
tives of Austrian trade, and 1t Is sug-
gested that they should be attached to
the various Austrian consulates. The
export syndicates should, it is urged,
be exempted from the special taxes i'm
posed on Industrial enterprises. There
should be considerable reduction of
markets, and the hindrances placed in
the way of commercial expansion by
the provisions of the law regulating
military service should be diminished

THE GREATEST OF IRISH HUMOR-
lists.

| Last of the Species In Dublin.
DR.. Thomas Medley, the greatest or
Irish humorists, and, we say 1t almost
with dread, the last of the species IN
| Dublin, died few days ago, Failing
health had debarr5d him for two or three
years from joining in the society which
he loved. and which had reciprocated his
| love; so that his death will not leave
| that gap which a great social force, sud
denly stayed, is won't to make in mems
| imagination. We had become accus-
| toned to dinner parties without MIN,
| and it was chiefly their comparative
| dulness which made our older men re-
call the days of Medley and Healy, OF
| William Lefanu and of Father Tom
| Burke, when dinner of men in Dublin
was often far more brilliant than any
attempt of the kind in England, even in
London, where Irishmen abound. But.
like many other delicate plants, irish hu-
NOR of Dr. Nedley's quality will not
thrive beyond It's native soil. The very
presence of one strange or one unsympa-
thetic face at the table would generally
stay the flow of his spirits, and his sim
pie question, "Who is that sitting down
there?" was, to those who knew him
well, token that little or nothing would
be drawn from him till the stranger re-
assured him In person or obtained sociaf
passports from others at the table.
There were also Dublin men who often
met him, but never heard one word of
his humor
In direct contrast to his intimate and
companion, Father Healy, Medley was
not a wit but humorist. The quick
flashes for which the former was famous
were not frequent with him. except, in
deed in the wonderful conflict OF both
qualities which was often exhibited
when they occupied head and foot at the
same table. At those moments and in
this encounter, at his own or at Healy's
table, his wit seemed as great as his hui
NOR. But his distinctive quality, where
in he stood alone and unapproached,
was the telling of Irish idylls" contain
ing dialogues among the poorer people;
the singing of street ballads, mostly his
own composition-in fact, the reproduc-
ton ofthe speech and the ways Of think
ing of the Irish people. He possessed
not only the insight of a great comic
poet but the face of consummate COM
ic actor and a tenor voice of such good
quality as to render his songs as well
musically as dramatically charming.
Hence no one ever tired of his dramatic
sketches, however often repeated. No
one even desired to hear from him some
thing new in preference to the old ia |
vorites. In fact, his stories held the So
cial stage in Dublin, like the approved |
plays of our dramatic masters, and it |
was the manner of telling, the subtle va
riations on various occasions, the pro-
found knowledge of and sympathy with |
Irish national psychology, which made |

THE DEWEY HOUSE.

The suggestion made by Rear Admir-
al upshur In note to the Brooklyn
Eagle that Washington house be pre-
scented to Admiral Dewey in token of
the nations gratitude for his public SER
vices has Caught on in great shape.
The Eagle at once took up the idea and
has organized Dewey house fund COM
mittee, with prominent men on it from
all the States, including the governors,
and backed by the approval and sup
port of the press of the nation. Con-
tributions are flowing in, and it is evil
dent that Admiral Dewey is going to
have house good enough for any man.
He ought to have it and anything else
that he wants that is good for him. He
has been so modest and manly that
some are afraid that he will not feel
like accepting any gift from his admir-
ing fellow-countrymen. Probably he
wouldn't encourage the movement to
give him a house if he was asked about
it. But he shouldn't be asked. When
the house is all ready he should then be
asked to take it as slight token Of
what United States folks think of him.
He couldn't very we'll refuse it, and he
couldn't help understanding and appre-
ciating the spirit which prompted the

him the master Of a very rare and de-
lightful art
Like all profound humorlsts, he was
the most sympathetic and modest Of
men. He never thrust his conversation
upon any cold or Indifferent audience.
1t was indeed, with reference to him
that Sir Edgar Vincent once made a
valuable remark--valuable, that Is to
say, to nglishmen--"There is no use In
asking single Irishman to dine; you
must ask another to draw him out!"
Such was the man in society, genial,
modest, never using his powers of satire
and mimicry for any unkind purpose,
hospitable to a fault, generous to the
poor, passing through the storms of
Irish politics without ever declaring a
strong opinion and yet respected by ex-
IRENE men Of every type. They knew
well that he saw clearly, with his pro-
found knowledge of character, not only
through the impostures, but through the
self-impostures, of Irish politicians, and
probably they felt grateful for his reti-
cence. He might have lived a little
longer if he had entertained his friends
less frequently; but he of all men, pre-
ferred quality to quantity of life,
though with rare and Christian patience
he tolerated the enforced secluslon of his
closing years. His literary tastes were
for the drama. He was well known to
all the actors and operate singers who
visited Dublin in his time. Most Of
them cannot forget his hospitable table.
There will probably be found among his
books many rare plays and collections of
street ballads; but Of his own art, moth
ing. 1t lives only in the memories and
the hearts Of the men, women and chill
dren who knew him and loved him

PEACE AGAIN IN SIGHT.

Again we are told that the end of the
''insurrection" in the Philippines Is at
hand. Representatives of Aguinaldo are
seeking terms of peace and the forces
of the insurgents are scattering in the
mountains. This information comes
from General Otis and can therefore be
the War department officials in Wash
ington as not likely that General Otis
the overtures Of the insurgents or give
consideration to any propositions which
Aguinaldo's commission may submit
that are not sincere and final. 1t is not
clear to the officials what concessions
Aguinaldo expects to receive, inasmuch
as General Otis, with the full approval
of the President and his cabinet, has re-
peatedly declared that he will consider
nothing but an unconditional surrender
of the insurgents as a necessary pre-
liminary to any negotiations for a ces-
sation Of hostilities.
The insurgents ought to be impressed
with the power and glory of the United
States by this time. If they don't take
the kind of peace that is offered them
they will have the peace of death, which
has already come to many of their COM
rades

waist may be worn with this, but it was
handsome enough to make a somewhat
dressy waist preferable
A silk petticoat of the sort over which
the dress skirt is made on the drop
plan should be made and fitted just like
a dress skirt The knife pleating should
be set on the petticoat, which should
be finished to the full length of the
skirt 1t is all wrong for the pleating
to be set on the edge of a petticoat,
which depends on such pleating to finish
out its length. The edge of the petit
coat should be finished with brush braid
and come a bit below the edge of the
pleating This finish makes a lot of
difference in the dust-catching of the
skirt, and makes II last q third longer
the pleating.
The drop skirt ought to be faced up
and finished also with braid. To be
sure, the skirt is a little prettier at first
if it be just hemmed under. The braid
is a little disfiguring to the skirt, but
not half so much so as will be the rags
that are sure to appear at the third or
fourth wearing of a skirt with unpro-
tected edge. In selecting a ready-made
skirt or in ordering one make sure of
these details. You can, perhaps, afford
to pay a first-class price for properly
finished gown that can be renewed sat-
isfactorily at the edge, while for a gown
hopelessly spoiled after two or three
wearings you have not the money to
spend. FLORETTE.

There has been a change in Havana.
Lieutenant Colonel Ernst, just from
Havana, says that there wasn't known
case of yellow fever or smallpox in the

buzzards had disappeared from the
streets "There was no refuse and no
dead animals for them to live on" he
