Golf and Good Manners.

Golf is the same as good manners, be-
cause so large part of the game is ETH
Quette and rests on the sense of hunfor.
1t is as easy to cheat in golf as in soli-
taire, but whereas some worthy men find
satisfaction in cheating in solitaire none
but the truly vicious cheat at golf, and
they are speedily shown the door of good
society. In no other game do good man
ners enter so much into the game. Base
ball is largely made up Of the roofing

golf one may only applaud an opponent!

THE MORPHINE HABIT.
Actresses Said to BE Largely Addict
ed to the Baneful Drug.

ed to the Bnneful Drug.
Actresses, rs class, are more addicted
to the use of opium than people in any
other walk of life. They generally admin.
lister it to themselves by hypodermic i'll
jections of the solution of morphine.
They invariably, whether truthfully or
not, ascribe their introduction to the vice
to doctors having administered it to them
in prescriptions intended to allay inter-
nal pains. Some years ago II clerk in a
large drug store was summoned to q
room in one of our most prominent no.
tells. When he knocked on the door, he
was commanded to enter. Thrown upon
the bed in the abandon of semiconscious-
ness was n woman who was then one of
the best known actresses in America.
You have all seen her.
II sent for you," she said, "to tell you
that every day will send to your estab-
lishment for an ounce of Magendie's solu.
tion"-a well known preparation of NOR
phine, containing 16 grains of morphine
to each ounce of the solution, or DC times
more than an ordinary dose. II am pro-
vided with it in every city that visit,
and / see no reason why L should not be
furnished with it here"
''to provide morphine in any such quanti-
ties unless we are convinced that the per-
son applying for it is addicted to its use
to an extent that would not make that
quantity fatal
"I'll easily satisfy you on that score"
said the actress, and thereupon she barred
her arms, and, to speak plainly, the
calves of her legs also. They had been
punctured by the hypodermic needle to
such an extent that in their roughness
they reSembled nutmeg graters. The tes'
timony was conclusive, and she was daily
provided with 10 Erilins of the poison.
She died few years ago almost forgot

she should adOrn, -

Derivation of the Word Sunday.

The word Sabbath" is Hebrew term
for period as well as quality of time
and means rest" In the Bible it is used
only with this meaning. Periods Of one
year or of seven years were thus charac'
terized. Every seventh day was observed
by the Hebrews as weekly Sabbath
In addition to this day others were ap
pointed in which the obligation to cease
from labor was as binding as the observ
ance of the weekly Sabbath" Sun
day" is so named from the day which was
dedicated to the worship of the sun
Christian nations observe it as theli
Sabbath" but sabbath" is not sun
day"-Mary Il. NJ. Richardson in Wo

1t was a surprisingly good exhibit
ton game played by Wheeling and
the West Virginia University teams
at the Island ball park yesterday af-
ternoon land the attendance should
have been larger. The two teams
meet again this afternoon, and If the
weather be favorable there will no
doubt be a much bigger crowd. The
club, but some of the players were a
trifle nervous yesterday, and a little of
in their fielding. Bowman, who has
signed with Wheeling. pitched for them
and held the Interstate players down
to seven safe hits. With better sup
port the score would have been even
smaller.
Each team got a runner across the
plate in the opening inning. After
that the University was never a dan
gerous factor in the game. until the
ninth, when with two runs needed to
tie, McWhorter and Denping both hit
safely. Then Poole settled down. Bow
man and Pastorious faced him, and
both famed. Hughes retired the side
by going out on a fly to Tom Turner.
The home team won the game in the
eighth inning. Taylor was first up, and
got a base on balls. Lyons ditto. Tom
Turner sWiped one out or the right
field foul line, which half the crowd
and all the runners thought was safe.
He took three bases on it. and Taylor
and Lyons came in, but Umpire Red"
Gilligan, who had taken Cfogan's place
because of the illness of the latter,
called it foul, and Tom tried it again
and flew out. Then Rothemel banged
out a two Dagger and Taylor scored.
Pequinney few out to right field and
Lyons came in on the throw to the
rlSte.
III the local boys played with snap
,.-I ginger, and the only error scored
was an excusable tumble by Lyons.
Catcher Boyd wore a uniform, AMI
was in the coacher's box, but took no
part in the game. The game this af-
tcrnoon will be called at 800 o'clock.

A meeting Of more than usual
interest was held yesterday afternoon
by the lady managers Of the Kings
Daughters Day Nursery. The after
noon was principally devoted to trans
acting business in connection with the
papers of incorporation for the nursery,
which are now nearly completed.
The annual election being in order
the former officers, who have served
so faithfully in their respective duties,
were unanimously reelected. They
are Mrs. Robert j. Reed, president;
Mrs. Brooks, first vice president; Miss
Dudley, second vice president; Mrs.
Harry Mendel, secretary, and Miss Liz
zie Swift, treasurer.
A great many have expressed their
desire to visit the new house, on South
Market street, recently purchased by
the Kings Daughters for the care
of the homeless and friendless chill
dren, and so it was decided before the
meeting adjourned to hold a public re-
ception at the institution on May 4th.
The necessary work of repairing the
building and furnishing the various
rooms will have been completed by that
time. AS heretofore chronicled O num-
Der of prominent persons, whose names
shall be given out later for publication,
have kindly offered to suitably fur
nish some of the room of the i~nstitu-
ton at their own expense and will en-
deavor to make the apartments which
they have respectively chosen, as
comfortable as possible.
The ladies received with expressions
of gratitude the information that the
Royal Arcanum had decided 10 donate
$50 to the institution. This sum, in
accordance with a request from the So
ciety, will be used to purchase furnish
ings for the play room, which is the
main apartment in the building. This
is especially commendable, when it Is
considered that the lodge has decided
to abandon the idea of giving its an
nual outing and banquet this year In
order to make a donation to the in
situation. 1t is safe to say that the
four hundred that compose the Kings
Daughters of Wheeling will always re-
member the Royal Arcanum.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 20.-The
base ball season opened here to-day under
suspicious circumstances. The attendance
was of the holiday order and the specta-
tors had the satisfaction of seeing Phila-
delphia defeat Boston in a closely con-
tested eleven inning game. There was
nothing particularly brilliant about the
game. 1t was a pitchers battle and Mich
OILS appeared to have the better of it, but
his upport was not equal to that of Fra
ger. Boston's defeat was the result of
two consecutive errors by Lowe in the
eleventh inning. With LaJoie on base and
one man out, Lowe fumbled an easy
grounder from McFarland's bat n then
muffed a throw to catch Mcfarland at
second and permitting LaJoie to score.

NEW YORK, April 20.-The New
York State Democratic Convention has
been called to meet in this city June 5.
The convention is to select ~ dele
| gates to the Democratic National con-
| vention at Kansas City.
About three-quarters of the fifty
| members of the committee were pres
ent and the rest were represented by
proxy. Former Senator David B. Hill,
who was present said:
"It is our year this year. You can
say that there is harmony with a big
H. in the Democratic party of the State.
That's all 1 have to say"
MI. Hills statement that harmony
once more prevailed was echoed by
Chairman Campbell, Eliot F. Danforth,
Andrew A. Mclean, of Rockland, F. ].
Hing, of Buffalo, and several others.
1.-The upstate Democrats want Bryan"
said Mr.. Mclean.
From what could be gathered among
the committeeman the idea seemed to
prevail that ex-senator Murphy, Rich
ard Croker, ex-senator Hill and proba-
bly, James Shevelin, of Brooklyn.
would be the delegates at large.
1t is said that Mr.. Croker will join
hands with ex-senator Hill to send an
uninstructed delegation to Kansas City.
The leaders who declare for an unin-
structed delegation disclaim, however,
any hostility to Mr.. Bryan. A large
element from up the State wants the
delegates instructed, and it is likely
that there will be a clash in the con-
vention.
There was a gathering of State Dem
ocrats at the Hoffman House. Ex-
Senator Hill, ex-senator Murphy,
Frank Campbell, chairman of the State
committee; Elott Danforth and other
prominent Democrats had a long talk
there in the course of the evening.
Mr.. Hill would not talk, but his atti-
tude is well known. AS to Admiral
Dewey's aspirations, he has told his
friends that Dewey is too late by at
least six months. He is now, so it
is declared, ready to support Bryan,
and will be with Bryan this fall, the
politicians say.
His present plan, so it is declared, is
to make a fight to have the platform
to be adopted at the national conven-
ton drawn up on lines which will be
ical platform of 1896, so that all Demo-
Gratis can support it. For this reason
he wants an uninstructed delegation,
as ~ unpledged votes in the
ton will be potent in making combi-
nations looking toward the drafting
of the satisfactory platform.
Frank Campbell, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State committee, said in referring
to the fact that the State convention would
not be held until June. There is no need
for an early convention. We a been ac-
cused of letting things drift, but we are
following the usual programme of presi-
Dental years. In 1896, the State convention
was held early in June, and the national
convention early in July.
THE party would be hurt more now by
dropping Bryan than it could possibly
hope to gain from the opposition. So
what is the use of going to useless trou-
BILE? 1t is true that the State convention
will probably send an uninstructed dele
cation to Kansas City, but that means
simply that New York is following a prece-
dent when it has no candidate of its own
The delegates will vote for Mr.. Bryan"

THE MARYLAND STRIKE.
Miners Meet and Pass Resolutions
D~enOuncing Secret Meetings Held
ThursdnY.

Thursday.
FROSTBURG, Md, April 20.-The
only incident in connection with the
strike of the miners of the Georges
Greek coal region to-day was the gem
eral meeting called for the purpose Of
denouncing the action of the officials
and the agents of the Consolidated
Coal Company in calling secret meet
mines. Five hundred strikers attend
ed the meeting at Midland and reso-
lutions declaring that the miners were
willing to meet the operators independ-
ent of organizations and organizers to
discuss the wage scale and condemn
ing the action Of the minor officials of
the company in calling secret meetings
and endeavoring to intimidate the
miners were presented, but the point
being made that all the persons present
were not employees of Ocean mine. One
hundred and fifty employees OF Ocean
Mine No. / withdrew and met indie
pendently and almost unanimously
adopted the resolutions.
Supt. Randolph received a commune
cation from President c.. K. Lord to-
day, stating that he was gratifed at
the action of the Eckhart miners in
asking for a conference, but stating
hat the number of men who had ex-
pressed a desire to go to work was not
large enough to justify the company to
resume operations. The strikers are
extremely quiet. and no attempts have
been made 10 injure the property OF the
company.
