Gossip Of

The umpire question is still leading
one for baseball newspaper discussion
and will be until the umpires are made
to enforce the rules strictly, which the
majority of the league staff fail to 90,
almost as much this year as last. In
regard to the habit of kicking INDUCED
in by captains of badly managed teams,
here is what Father Chadwick had to
say a dozen years ago about the stupid
ity of captains of teams in this respect,
for that is what it is, lack of common
sense. Here is what he wrote in the
decade of the sos:
THE prevailing idea among the gen.
eral class of baseball captains has been
for years that unless they kick against
the umpires decision they fail to do
their duty. a greater mistake of judg-
ment was never committed. In the first
place, what possible point is gained by
this kicking? Not single decision made
by the umpire in which only an error
of judgment is involved can be reversed,
the express letter of the rules prohibit
ing any such thing. OF what use is it.,
therefore, TO kick? On the contrary, ev-
cry kick only adds to the errors of judg-
ment. There is a sound policy involved
in refraining from kicking and in SILENT

Real old fashioned, good natured,
open housed hospitality was dispensed
last niaht by Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Brink,
at their very pretty home on the corner
OF Fifth and Grand avenue. There was
no stilted formality, no affected hospi-

No more genial host and hostess, pos
sibly live in the city than Mr.. and Mrs.
Brink. The host is known as whole
hearted and pleasant companion and
friend and his wife joins with him, when
ever the occasion presents, to make
their friends and guests, within their
home, secure the best that there is in
life.
There were nearly hundred guests
assembled last night and from an early
hour in the evening until way after
midnight fun and jolity was the order ;
just plain whist was the game OF the
evening and several hours was devoted
to playing. During the latter p ,rtion
OF the game there was considerable riv-

spirit OF fun was extant among all. AS

Animal Hire In some Parts OF Russia
Exceeds That Paid for Hu-
man Labor.

| In Russia the wages of harse are
higher than those of man, and hence,
of course, very much higher than the
wages of women. Thus, says Gunton' g
Magazine, in the Nishni-Volga section,
we find the average pay of man and
horse to be about 72 cents per day; of
man aloue, "a cents; that is, SO cents for
horse and "a cents for man. The wom-
en- receive from 10 to 20 cents. In the
central agricultural region the average
is: Horse, % cents; man, 20 cents;
woman. 13 cents. In the southern
steppe: Horse, 36 cents; man, 25 cents;
| woman, 16 cents.
This is an interesting commentary on
the standard of living of Russian agri-
cultural laborers. Its meaning is, sim
ply, that human beings are cheaper
there than draft animals. In other
words, it costs less to keep them alive
In the southern steppe five women can
be employed more cheaply than two
horses. Is it difficult to imagine the
condition of home life, the dearth of re-
fining influences, the sodden, hopeless
stagnation thaSsuch state of affairs
reflects? Is it any wonder that the
products of such a wage status as this
are individual degradation, social bar
renness. meager education. political
despotism, religious intolerance, and,
generally, type Of civilization scarcely
above barbarism?

The largest cable of modern times is
the MANILA hawser which was sued to-

means the largest that ever has been

breaking the record.
There are at least two others of
greater circumference, but both older.
One of these had circumference of go

other was q 24-inch hawser, which was
