FREE PUBLIC BATHS.

The experience of the town of Brook
line Mass. in the matter of free baths
ought to be an inspiration TO other mun-
lcipahtes. Brookhne is a town OF some
1900 population Two years or so ago
public baths were erected at total cost
of $4,000. The building is 124 feet long by
Sc feet wide including a main han, YES
thule and numerous dressing rooms The
main bath, a swimming pool, is 50 by &c
feet, and holds 10000 gallons of water
There are also private baths both plunge
and shower. and shower baths 10 be used
without cost by the public under restric-
lions during certain hours of the day. Reg
ulations to secure absolute cleanliness. are
strictly enforced. No bolsterousness is per
mitted. The charges range from five to
fifteen cents though any one unable to
pay even the small fee may have a bath
without cost at one of Inc free showers.
Not less than $1,000 persons patronized
the baths last year. the average during
the summer months being 1890 per day.
The best families do not hesitate to send
their sons and daughters TO take swim
ming lessons in the big pool and some
times the evenings in the big building are
made merry by swimming parties and wa
ter games. The baths are now nearly self
supporting, and il is believed they win
be entirely SO from the present season on.
Heretofore il has been found necessary to
make a small appropriation from the city
treasury TO meet the deficiency of receipts
but the taxpayers have felt that the pub
lie good derived from the baths have more
than compensated them for the expense.
If such a bathing establishment is a
good thing for Brookline, why would not
a similar one be better thing in the
warmer climate of Savannah? There are
to be sure. a large number of baths in ho-
tells, private residences and clubs. and
there are no inner swimming places in the
world than the salt rivers at Thunderbolt
and Isle of Hope, and the Atlantic ocean
at Tybee Sth, these do not meet all
wants, since they are not convenient nj
all times 10 all persons IN the city. SAM
tarians say that public baths, like that at
Broollline, are conducive 10 the nuhIIc
health, and they are no doubt eminentlv
correct. II the Massachusetts town of l5.
COO population can make a public bath
costing $4,000 sclf-sus;aining, it seems that
a city Of the size of Savannah ought 10
make 4 similar bath profitable.

rILLMAN AND ARMoR rLArE.

The construction of the barleships or
dered by the last Congress will be delayed
fully year. and perhaps longer, because
the maximum price to be paid for armor
plate fixed by Congress is SO low that no
manufacturer win undertake 10 furnish
il at that price. and also because Congress
provided that work on the battleships
should not be begun until contracts for
the armor plate were made.
If we are not mistaken Senator Tillman
was the prime mover in fixing the price
Either he didn't know anything about the
cost of manufacturing plate of the kind
needed in the construction of battleships
or else he aimed to gain little cheap no
toriety by pretending to know that the
armor plate factories were gouging the
government out of large sums of money.
and that he would see TO it that the gov
eminent was protected.
The bidders for furnishing the plate say
that they cannot furnish it for less than
$50 per ton. Clearly Congress ought to
hire somebody in whom il has confidence
TO give il information about such things
as it is necessary the government shall
fix a maximum price for. 1t simply makes
itself ridiculous by fixing arbitrarily a
price which it does not know to be a fair
one.
When the armor plate question was be-
fore Congress it was openly stated by men
qualified to give an opinion on the sub
ject. that the government would get 20
armor plate at the price II was proposed
to pay. If the country should be unexpect-
edly forced into war with great naval
power within the next two or three years,
and the projected batteships should be
badly needed, Senator Tnlman's fight to
fix the price armor plate at $500 per ton
would, in all probability. cost the country
dearly.

WY the Pnrer Died.

This is a French story-of Louis Blanc
who. as the world knows, was the most
uncompromising man in the world, and
the most conscientious, says the Boston
Transcript He spent about half his life
in prison because he would say what he
thought was right, regardless of conse-
ouences to himself. In some of the brief
interviews when he was out of prison, and
when his popularity ran high paper
THomme Lbre, was started for him. He
was made the sole responsible head of it,
one day he took the paper up as soon as
it came out, and his eye happened to fall
on a conspicuous advertisement, which
read thus:
THE best pills are Ks pills"
Blanc called his secretaire de la redac-
ton, who was as near to being a business
manager as the paper had, showed him
the "ad." and said to him:
Don't you think we are taking a good
deal on ourselves in making that state
ment?'
''why, what do you mean, sir?' the man
asked, puzzled.
How do you know that Ks pills
are better than anybody e.ses pills." de-
manded Blanc. Have you taken them
alp
NO, sir"
Then what justification have we in at
tempting to guarantee the superiority of
one kind of pills?'
but IT'S an advertisement, and all pa
pers do the same.
What all papers do is no guide to US.
Let US make no statement that we are
not perfectly sure of. Let this statement
not appear again"

Three Stories Of the diamond.

There was a pitcher who once promised
20 he one Of the best in the business who
dropped out of fast company in strange
way, says the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
He was Darby. and when he disappeared
he was pitching for Detroit. One morning
the team was making a trip across Mich
igan. The day was hot and the cars dirty.
ana when. near midday, the train stopped
at a pretty little town, Darby looked out
at a cool creek flowing down into the
woods and remarked:
THAT would be a great place to fish on
a day like this
One of the other players said: "Why
don't you get off and go hshing?'
Believe I Will" replied Darby. as he
sauntered out onto the platform of the
car. No one thought any more of the
matter until the train was miles down the
country Then some one remarked that
Darby was missing. He never rejoined
the club, but turned up az home in the
fall and has never been back in fast COM
pany since.
The funniest decision 1 ever saw OH a
ball field" said George Decker, of the
LOuisvilles, was given down in a little
country town in Indiana while ] was play
ing with the Chicago club. We had an
off day, and Billy Moran and I went down
as battery to some town that had a
grudge against nelghboring village. 1
went in to pitch, and We had the other club
beaten to death. Along in the seventh
inning the bases were fun with two out,
and the batter hit a little grounder down
to me. l picked the ball up and tossed
it underhand to first, twenty feet ahead
of the runner. and started to the bench
when the umpire called me back, and said;
Not out l demanded to know why the
man was not out, and he replied:
4" The rules say you must throw the
ball TO first, and you pitched il under
hand
Il laughed so hard that came near let
ting the other club beat US out, but / never
disputed that mans decision again"
James Ryan is an observing fellow. His
latest discovery was made last fall. Jimmy
was out walking in Washington and re-
turned TO the hotel out of breath and
dragged half a dozen players down TO the
capitol lawn TO see a game of ball. Far
ocer on the south side of the east esplan-
ade is statue of Christoper Columbus
The discoverer is represented standing or
a pedestal with one foot advanced, his
right arm swung high above his head ano
in his right hand a globe. Jimmie dragged
the ball players over to the statue ano
then, pointing across the lawn, showed
the statue of George Washington. inc
Father of His Country stands facing the
Discoverer with hands outstretched
Ryan pointed out that Columbus is posing
to pitch the ball and Washington is IN eX-
| act nOsitjOn to catch it.
