To Head or Opposition.

Two plans of action, it Is under
stood, are being considered by the Ma
tional League magnates to forestall
the organization which was formed in
Baltimore lately under the title Of the
National Association, says the New
York Sun. One of these plans is to
re-establish the twelve-club circuit,
the other is 10 join the American
League in scheme so that that or
ganization can extend it's circuit to the
east. Should the first proposition be
taken up Washington and Baltimore
will be embraced in the circuit in the
east and Detroit and Cleveland in the
west. It is rumored that if the Sec
ond proposition is deemed feasible,
that is. coalition with the American
League, the league will be composed
Of teams in Boston, Philadelphia, Bal
timore and Washington in the east,
and Cleveland, Chicago. Milwaukee
and st. Louis in the west. A further
feature Of this scheme would be that
the American League schedule would
be SO arranged as to have games on
National League grounds in the east
ern cities and in st. Louis and Cleve-
land, while the clubs of the larger Or
CARNATIONS were travelling. The Ma
tional League, to carry out this, would
provide the grounds In the places not
the magnates are said to think, would
discourage the National Association in
that it would insure continuous base
ball in the cities which, it is expected,
will have association franchises. III

A Word to the South.

Lawlessness begets lawlessness, brr-
tality begets brutality, torture begsts
torture. Is it not enough, in heavens
name, that these terrible crimes are
committed by the black brutes, but
we must make the thing worse and
injure ourselves and southern society
by resort to barbarous torture Of the
victim? Are we going to permit these
brutes to make us brutal? Are we
going to make these savages to make
us savage? Are we going to be more
brutal and more savage than the bru-
tai savage who commits the crime?
Because brutal negro commits a
nameless offense, are we going to
trample our laws under foot and over
throw our institutions and under
mine our society? These are ques-
tons, we say, that the southern people
must consider seriously and prayer
fully. Our institutions are in danger
from ourselves. We cannot expect to
maintain law and order and to raise
up our boys to respect the law if we
ruthlessly trample the law under foot
and defy the officers of the law, and
not only deprive man unlawfully Of
life, but by methods that would put
a savage to the blush, We cannot be
law abiding and yet trample the law
under our feet. We cannot be civiliz-
ed and yet initiate the ways of the
savage.-Richmond Times.

Religions n1endloants in Russia.

There are two types of tram s in
Russia, and they may be classified as
the authorized and the unauthorized,
says a foreign correspondent. The
first are the so-called religious mendi-
cants, who are protected by the church
and tolerated by the police; the sec
ond are the common vagabonds. Their
national name among themselves is
"Goriouns "-mourners or victims of
grief. If you ask them why they do
not work-and the great majority are
perfectly able to do so--they reply in
the forlornest voice mortal ever heard.
Master, I am a Goriora, victim OF
sorrow" They seem to have accepted
the philosophy that certain number
of human beings are foreordained to
life of misery and sadness. and they
pose as members of this class.

PSYCHE. OF GREECE.
So Beautiful 1hat NIortals sIistook Her
for Venus.

So Beautiful That NlOrtalS MistOok Her
for Venus.
Psche is an exquisite creation of the
later mythology of Greece. She was
the youngest of the three daughters O.!
king, and so beautiful that mortals
mistook her for Venus herself, and
did not dare to love, but only to wor-
ship her. This excited the jealousy OF
the goddess, who sent Cupid to inspire
Psyche with passion for the most
contemplate of all men. Cupid, how
ever, was smitten with her charms.
and carried her away to a beautiful
palace, where he visited her every
night, unseen and unknown. He babe
her never let curiosity overcome her,
and one night while he was asleep she
took a lamp and went to look at him.
She saw with rapture that he was the
most handsome of the gods. but in
her excitement she let drop of hot
oil fall on the sleeper's shoulder. This
awoke Cupid, who upbraided her for
her mistrust, and vanished. Psyche
then set out to look for her lover, and
coming to the palace of Venus she was
seized by the goddess and kept as a
slave. Cupid, however, reconciled her
to his mother, and was united to her
in immortal wedlock. In works of art
Psyche is represented as beautiful
maiden with the wings of a butter
fly. Her story has been considered as
an allegory of the progress Of the hui
man soul through earthly passion and
misfortune to pure celestial felicity,
but 1t must not be forgotten that 1t is
merely version of one of the most
widespread folk-tales in the world.

That Cleveland will be in the Ma

latest in the baseball world, but while
this rumor may attract attention else
where, it is not likely to be credited
here, writes a Cleveland correspond
ent. Dispatches from the east state
that the national organization is anx-
ious to get foothold in Cleveland
again, but they do not state how II
is to be done.
This may be all very we'll from a

another is Cleveland This city has

time, in looking over the situation to
convince the dmagnates of that organi-
zation Of the fact. One question put
to Mr.. Frank, deEIass Robson, late OF
Cleveland, would undoubtedly elicit .
convicting answer.
The American League took chance
in Cleveland when the other organiza-
ton declared that baseball was dead
here. Results show that the National
League method and not the game were
the cause Of the downfall.

stan; Lieutenant Wade Of the Dido,
and many another brave Englishman

battles, but in attaining their object
the expeditions were entirely success
full. The once dreaded chief, Seriff
Sahib, was driven across the moun-

the reach of doing further harm.
In 1S47 Rajah Sir James Brooke
visited England and met with an en-
thusiastic reception from those who
could understand and appreciate his
work. He was hidden to Windsor,
where the queen not only made him a
knight of the Bath, but conferred on
him the appointments of governor OF
Labuan and consul general Of Borneo.
Two years before his death, in July,
1868, the independence of Sarawak
was recognized by America, Italy and
England, and the great man died with
the knowledge that it had entered on
the path Of prosperity, with increasing
population, trade and revenue.
Sir Charles Brooke, his successor,
was born in 1929, and having spent 10
years in the royal navy, served under
his uncle for 20 years in Sarawak. He
married the Rance, Margaret, only
daughter of Mr.. de Windt of Bluns-
don Abbery, Wiltshire, England, in
1869, who is now queen Of Sarawak.
BY concessions and purchases Of ter
ritory, including coal mines, harbors
and splendid rivers away to the north
chiefly from the declining sultanate
of Brunei, Sarawak has increased to
10 times it's original area. 1t now
comprises $4,000 miles-fve times the
size of Belgium--with 400 miles OF
coast line, and has population of 3oo,-
600. Notwithstanding, the cost of ita
efficient administration is. less than
that Of any Asiatic country presided
over by Europeans. Its expenditure
is about 100000 annually.

Especial Letter.)

There is unique kingdom hidden

people know nothing or at most the

Englishman. and is ruled by an Eng
fish king as absolutely as all the Rus
sias are ruled by the car, aud vet
England has no right, even of super
vision, in its internal government. and
the warships of at least three great
powers salute its flag when they an
Choir within its territorial waters.
Its name is Sarawak. and its present
king is Sir Charles Johnson Brooke.
He succeeded the first king, his uncle.
Sir James Brooke, whose life story
reads like romance
The son Of civil servant of the
Honorable East India company, James
Brooke was born in India in 1903, and,
after attending the Norwich grammar
School, received an ensign's commits
sion in the Sixth Native infantry of
the Bengal army, and joined his corps
at the age of 16. He was seriously
wounded in an engagement in the first
Burmese war, in which he commanded
body of volunteer native calvary. and
on returning from England-whither
he had been on furlough-s suffered
shipwreck, and was thus delayed in
rejointng his regiment, to which he
had been recalled.
AS 1t afterward proved, this was a
lucky accident, for it ultimately led to
his resigning his commission and sew
ering his connection with the East
India company. In the voyage which
he subsequently made to China he first
saw the isles of the Malay archipelago,
and some inner voice then whispered
that his destiny awaited him in those
long-neglected gardens of the East.
The possibilities Of adventure and
discovery which Borneo held were suf-
fcient attraction for an adventurous
man; but above and beyond this rose
an ambition to extirpate piracy and
slavery, to reform a distracted country
by methods of his own, to stand as
shield between oppressor and OPP
pressed; and it was an ambition to
which he remained consistent to his
last breath.
In the face Of great difficulties a
