GOLF PLAYING ON SUNDAY.
by the Pastor of n Boston
Suburban Church.

Boston, June 1.-THE Rev. ]. w. Sutor.
rector of Epiphany Church, of Winchester,
the most aristocratic suburb of Boston,
has created a sensation by a sermon in
which he spoke of Sunday golf as follows:
Il am perfectly well aware that the cas-
lest way to settle the question. and the
way that many people would like to have
a minister of the gospel adopt, is TO say
that it is wicked to play golf on Sunday.
This is Puritanic cutting OF the Gordian
knot which is not possible to my thought
and faith, and is a statement which does
not appear to be true.
1t appears TO me incontrovertible that
no absolute distinction can be established
between various forms of out-ofdoor ex-
ercise and recreation for Sunday, when the
question is individually considered. There
is no difference between taking a walk in
the fields, a ride on the wheel or behind a
horse; a paddle on the lake or nine holes
on the links. Out-of door life is a legiti-
mate item in a wise and holy use of the
day of days, and for those whose out-of-
door exercise and recreation are limited to
Sunday. II is an item deserving of most
serious and sympathetic consideration.
The man whose only chance for free
play in Gods air and sunshine is on Sum-
day is helping to make that day different
from other days and the best of days when
he uses some part of this day for the uplift
of his life
Mr.. sutor is president of the Winchester
Golf Club.

The superba- Given the Game.

The Giants played the baby act at New
York yesterday and forfeited the game TO
the Brooklyns. In the second inning Cm-
pire Burns called Casey safe at the plate,
and the New. York players made violent
protest. They attempted to intimidate the
umpire, but he ordered the game to pro-
coed. refusing to change his decision. The
Giants refused to continue the contest, and
Brooklyn was declared the winner by
score of to 0. Many of the spectators
refused to accept rain checks. and declared
that they were done with the New York
team Freedman efforts to kill the game
in the metropolis are bearing fruit.

Injunction Against the II, & O.

Parkersburg, w. Va, June 17.-An in
junction against the receivers of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, John X. Cowen
and Oscar G. Murray, was granted yester-
day by United States Judge Goff and served
upon C. II. White, the agent here of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, prohibiting
that road from erecting or building new
bridge across the Ohio River on the old
piers between Benwood and Bellaire. The
bill was filed by the District Attorney for
West Virginia at the request of the At
torney General Of the United States. 1t
alleges that the present bridge is a him
drance to navigation. as the longest pier
is only 800 feet, whereas the navigation
laws require at least 500 feet between
piers. 1t also alleges that the old bridge
has been condemned as an obstruction to
trade.

The Navy Department received yesterday
the report Of the court of enquiry which
assembled at the Brooklyn navy yard to
investigate the recent grounding in New
York Harbor of the armored cruiser
Brooklyn. now under repairs at the yard.

Brooklyn struck on the obstruction known
as Diamond Reef, but the court finds that
the cruiser unquestionably encountered a
sunken wreck, and submitted in evidence
OF this opinion an envelope full of wooden
splinters taken from the bottom of the
Brooklyn. The court reports that the
vessel was properly navigated, and holds
nobody responsible.

Boston. a rising young lightweight of the
Kid Lavigne stripe. stopped Eddie Con-
molly, of St Johns. n. B.. in the twenty
second round of fierce glove battle at the

stand firmly by their action in committee
in favor Of the Warrior Improvement
The Nicaraguan canal project Is all that
really stands in the way of an adjustment
of the differences of the two houses 1t is
plain that the great inter-oceanic scheme
cannot be adequately considered in the
short remaining time of this session, and
the desire is freely expressed that 1t should
be permitted to go over to the next con-
gress. The sentiment of the country will
an inter-oceanio canal; there must be one.
and 1t must be controlled, if not actually
built, by the United States; but rider at
the heels of a session is not the best way
in which to determine the details of such
a great project-a project that is to last for
all time and that is to be in every respect
worlds improvement.
Senator Morgan should, all things consd-
cred, be willing to let the matter go over
until December, thereby saving to Alabama
the valuable appropriations the bill con-
tains for the Warrior Improvement The
Warrior must in fact be opened before the
people of Alabama can be largely benefited
by an inter-oceanic canal. Give us the
Warrior improvement first, and then let
the inter-oceanic scheme follow close be-
hind 1t. Under no circumstances will Sen
ator Morgan be upheld in an effort that
ieopards or delays the opening of the
Warrior to slack water navigation, and the
opening also of a deep channel In Mobile
bay.

WADE HAMpToN,s ACTIVITY

Columbia, 8. c., February N.-Though
Gen. Wade Hampton, one Of the few sur
viving lieutenant generals of the confed-
eracy, Is within a few days of celebrating
his eighty-frst birthday, he performed a
characteristic feat few mornings ago,
showing he has lost none Of his old-time
dash and courage. His feat was very like
that of Wheeler at Santiago, though more
difficult of performance, by reason of the
fact that the aged warrior has cork beg,
and had no tree limbs to aid him.
1t was yet very early on Sunday morning
when one of the servants at Gen. Hamp-
tons residence, near the city, came to him
and informed him that sparks had fallen
upon and ignited the roof Of the house.
which was then burning. The old general
without permitting any Of the household to
be awakened, FASTENED out himself and
proceeded to climb out upon the roof.
Reaching the blaze he, with the assistance
of his servant, managed to extinguish the
flames.
1t was not until the breakfast hour that
any of the household were aware of the fire
or of the aged soldiers risky but effective
climb upon the roof. The incident was
known to but few of the generaPt friends
until today, and they are as proud of his
feat as of any of the daring charges he led
during the civil war.

The Armor Plate Rinq.

The pp-Carnegie monopoly is not
having smooth sailing since Congressman
Underwood exposed their scheme in a run
ming speech made during the house debate
derwood showed beyond reasonable doubt
that a ring had been formed to mulct the
government to the extent of hundreds of
dollars a ton, and he succeeded in cutting
NOR plate from $545 to $445.
The senate has done better still, for it has
named $500 as the proper price, and in addi-
ton it has directed the secretary of the
navy, in the event the combine refuses to
supply armor at $500 a ton, to proceed to
construct an armor-plate factory at a cost
of $1500,0o0, and two millions more is APP
propriated with which to operate the pro-
posed government plant.
The house will probably concur In these
senate amendments. Mr.. Underwood will
certainly be ready to back up all his fig
ures and facts, and when the bill left the
house 1t was In mood to defy the com
bine. This holding up of the nation by an
extortionate ring should not be counten-
anced. What had to be endured during the
war with Spain, need not be listened to in
these days of victory and peace.
Mr. Underwood will have faced the COM
bine and overthrown 1t, If he can carry
through the house the senate amend
ments. The chances are that the combine
will accept $500 a ton, but saving of $245
ton on the 24000 tons needed for vessels
ordered to be built by the pending bill, will
be no small saving in itself. Not a cent
over $500 should be paid, for when every
possible item Of expense is included, the
actual cost of production cannot be
stretched to a sum exceeding 5000 a ton.

THE PEOPLE OF SHADOW STREET

Joseph I. C. Clarke, In the Criterion.
All, long and narrow is Shadow street,
Where the sunlight never can tali;
Whose mile after mile can but repeat
The crumbling house and the broken wall.
The marsh beyond and the cypress trees
A misty vail and somber pail.
Over it's lichened payements, see
The people of Shadow street creep,
They seem so like unto you and me,
AS they stare or frown or weep;
But they're something more and something
less.
And their eyes are dim as with sleep.
They think they are live and wide, awake.
They are busy with dreams long dead.
Their hurrying feet no progress make,
And their clocks tell time that has fled.
They are planning the triumphs OF yester-
day,
They are coming the words long said.
They toll and moil; they rhyme and they
sing
But none of the other takes heed.
Their hopes are ravens on weary wing
That out of their hearts they feed;
Each man and woman in twilight blur
Clasps tightly a widowed weed.
This corner house on the Market Square
Is the place where they first abide,
They climb one morn up its creeping stair,
And by dusk steal out at the side.
They come. pushed out of the puslng town
And so into Shadow street glide.
From house after house, from day to day,
They move when the night has paler;
Thin and grlzzled and farther away,
And by many pang assailed.
They pass at last meath the cypress trees,
But they never know they have failed.

The New Army Bill.

The army bill that has gone to the presi-
promise that congress has ever known for
1t provides large force for immediate use
without increasing the permanent army
All know that in times Of peace, free from
stress, no party will vote to increase the
military burden, and 80 1t Is safe to as
sumo that by or before July !, 1901, the army
men. This is a great victory, and it was
clinched by the following amendment Of
fered by Mr.. German:
THAT each and every provision of this
= act shall continue in force until July /,
1901, and on and after that date all the gen.
eral staff and line officers appointed to the
army under this act shall be discharged
and the numbers restored in each grade to
those existing at the passage of this act
and the enlisted force of the line of the
army shall be reduced to the number as
provided for by law prior to April l, 1898,
exclusive of such additions as have been or
may be made under this act to the artillery,
and except the cadets provided for by this
act. who may be appointed prior to July
!, 1901; and provided further, that no Of
ficer who has been or may be promoted I'M
der existing law or under the rules of sem
iority shall be disturbed In his rank"
The republicans did not like the positive
nature of the amendment, but they finally
accepted it, and the bill speedily became a
law, only the irreconciliables voting against
it. The amendment stands. perhaps, as
the last great work of Mr.. Germans sem
atorlal career, and he will ever be glad that
he was able to render the country secure
against the dangers and burdens of great
standing army. A constabulary of small
proportions is all that In ordinary times is
needed in a government of the people, by
the people, for the people.

An Appeal to Senator MORGAN.

In the two days remaining of the present
congress the chief battle will be over the
river and harbor BILL including, of course,
the Nicaragua rider that Senator Morgan
has attached to it. The senate amendments
We're rejected by the house for the purpose
of throwing the measure speedily into the
hands of a conference committee. The
house conferees are Messrs. Burton, of
Cleveland, Ohio; Mr.. Reeves. of Streator,

well-known member from vicksburg. Mr..
Burton Is chairman of the rivers and har-

A State Fair in Birmingham.

Yes right here in the most poplous coun-
| ty in the state, at the heart of the states
| chief industries, and close to the states
wonderful mineral resources. There are In
this county 119 factories, every one of which
could make an interesting exhibit, ranging
from ton of pig iron, or a square Of coal,
or a bolt of print cloths to a box of snuff
a superior harness or an iron bedstead
The 119 factories in Jefferson county could
fill the largest Industrial or machinery hall
that the state has ever known, and at the
same time show but one article of each
manufacture. The variety and extent of
Jefferson's industries are imperfectly I'M
derstood. Here, too, are handsome chick
ems and thoroughbred cattle, each looked
after by an association of it's own. This is
what Jefferson can do. and what Jefferson
can do the other sixty-five counties of the
state can at least approach.
A great fair can be held in Birmingham
if the people of this city and county will
take hold in earnest, and will take steps to
spread their energy and spirit over the
state. Let US bring ourselves up to the
making of a fair that will represent the
entire ,state-a fair that will In tangible
concrete form show what the state is capa-
BILE of-that will stimulate every son and
daughter of Alabama to higher efforts
that will disseminate new ideas and new
methods-that will, In a word, be an ad-
vertisement of the state which all will heed
and remember.
Such an exhibition should be held an
nually, but let that depend upon the sue
cess of the first effort. If every enterpris-
ing man in the state can be enlisted in the
coming fair, there can be gathered a dis
play Of Alabama's wealth that will be
amazing and amazingly profitable. 1t rests,
however, with the people of this city who
must take the first steps.

affectionate ones were from you. 1 enjoyed
them so much" II am glad you enjoyed
