graceful WrangIing

BY a score Of to 4. the Chester team
defeated the Wilmington players yester-
day afternoon in a game of ball marked
by loose playing on the part Of the locals

The trouble arose over bat used by
Hoffman. which had a slice knocked out
of it. This was objected to 10y the WISH

peared with it again in the ninth another
kick was waived which almost resulted
in riot. the crowd rushing in upon the
field. The locals played as if they were
asleep and put up a miserable game.
The score follows;

TWAIN ON LIBERTY AND HEALTH

A few days ago we noticed IN these
columns bill before the New York
legslature-the so-called Bell bill
aimed against mental therapeutics, but
so sweeping In It's provisions. as to
make 1t crime for any layman to Of
fer any assistance, or advice whatever
to a sick person, except in emergencies.
Mark Twains comment on this measure
Is characteristic He Is quoted In the
New York Evening Post TO the effect
that, In his view. every time statute
encroaches upon the liberty OF a citi-
zen. It is an entering wedge for further
entertainments and is danger; and
that one cannot give his bodily health
into the hands Of any monopoly with
out running the risk of presently hav-
ing his liberties curtalled In other d.
rectlons."
Then he goes on to say:
'How Is It that there are a thousand
ways--constltutlon laws, and every
thing permitting-in which may damn
my soul but when II comes to a trivial
little matter like temporary Ill-health,
the legislature must prescribe now
shall do it2
zone of these bills prescrlbes that II
your mother falls in a faint YOU may
not help her. Certain physicians are
set aside who may give you permis-
sion TO help her; but you may not do
anything without their prescription
You may smoke, II YOU choose, but the
number OF cigars must be determined
by a physclan-you may not say how
many Yourself, This bill (the original
Bell blll) Is SO absurd and ridiculous
that wish somebody might appear In
Albany just 20 make fun Of IT.
These attempts on the part of physi-
clans in different parts Of the country,
to obtain control Of the bodies Of the
people, by procuring legislation to give
monopoly to certain schools" OF
medical practice, are becoming dan
gerous and a menace to personal liber-
ty. 1t is time they should be checked.
1t may be we'll enough to restrict the
business OF treating disease profession
ally, for money, to persons having the
necessary qualifications Of education
and training. But the schemes that are
devised to deprive individuals OF the
right to protect their own bodies, and
to give gratuitous advice and aid to
others, need TO be met by such opposl-
ton that they VIII be defeated espe-
cially when the purpose in view is, evil
IDENTITY, for the especial profit Of persons
engaged in a business to be rendered
lucrative by such measures. Mark
Twain may treat them with humor and
sarcasm, but legislators who serve the
people, should sit down upon them so
heavily that they will be completely
| flattened out.

wILHELMINA's WEDDING.
kansas Clty star.


The younf Queen Of Holland has set
an example in quiet simplicity In her
wedding that ought to put TO shame
those who indulge In a lavish show for
no other reason than love OF display.
She has shown q large degree Of COM
mon sense, that quality that is the
common inheritance OF the sturdy
Dutch race. No bridesmaids nor
groomsmen, no gilt and gewgaw, no
elaborate ceremony only the simple
procession to the church and the pro-
nouncIng Of the short and solemn SER
vice OF the Reformed church. Ever
since her accession to the throne this
young queen has been a democratic
sovereign In every sense of the word.
She mingles with her people like one OF
them, and, as consequence, Is wor-
SHIPPED and almost ldollzed by them.

OPENING PARLIAMENT.

The opening Of the English parlia-
ment is described as the most gorgeous
affair Of the kind witnessed In Lon
don for many years. The display may
have been due TO a desire on the part
Of the new king to give to state func-
lions a splendor. adequately rejecting
the power and wealth Of the vast EN-
pire but It is more probable that 1t
was a bid for popularity For such
functions cost vast sums of money.
and that means trade. The people
win more readily agree TO sustain
large civil list, when the probability Is
that much of the money appropriated
will find its way back to those occupied
in various trades and pursuits. King
Edward Is well acquainted with his
people and he knows to perfection what
they expect OF their kings and courts.
The great point Of interest In his
opening address-whlch by the way Is
more lengthy than those Of the late
Queen--is his reference to the South
African situation. There Is no word
in 1t that can be construed as holding
out any hope OF change in the policy
now pursued. The Beers he says, In
substance must be completely subdued
before such institutions can be estab-
lshed, as will secure equal rights
TO all the white inhabitants There will
be no compromise. The Beers must
surrender Internationally. This Is
our own policy toward the Philippine
insurgents. The honor OF the two
nations is supposed to permit OF no
negotiations with rebels In arms. But
there is difference between the Brit
lsh situation and the American. The
! Beers OF at least one of the African
republics were at the outset independ-
ent and entitled TO all the rights and
considerations OF belligerents, while the
| Filipinop can lay claim to no such
rights the sovereignty over them be-
ing first vested In the Madrid authori-
ties and then transferred to Washing
| ton by treaty. The Beers. at least as
| far as those Of the Orange Free State
are involved. are not insurgents. Ma
tional honor cannot be stained by ne
gotiatlons with them, looking toward
a peaceful arrangement Of the trouble.
But there is no immediate hope Of
any such policy. The war must go
on 10 the bitter end. And that can
not. according 20 human calculations
be far off. The Beers, who are still
in the field. are hemmed in on all sides,
They are traversing a country denud-
ed OF all resources except such as can
be captured from the enemy. 1t is
claimed that 1900 Dutch are captives
on St Helena, and that $4,000 more
are waiting to be transported from
their native lands. These with the
numbers killed in battle equal, very
nearly, the entire armed Boer force at
the beginning of the war. and those
now in the Geld cannot be very num-
erous. unless they have been reinforced
from Cape Colony to much larger
extent than generally known. In all
human probability the end must be
near. This is the view of the situation
taken in London, and the determine
ton of the government not to negoti-
ate until the last armed burgher has
surrendered is only natural.

Chicago Record.

The wedding is peculiar among royal
alliances In that Il appears to be a gem
ulne love match and no unpleasant po-
litical or diplomatic interests have had
TO be considered. II the marriage is to
have any political effect at all, as some
of its observers contend, II lies IN the
future. In wedding Duke Henry OF
Mecklenburg Schwerin, Wilhelmina
contracts a close family alliance with
one OF the influential German princi-
palities. and II the Netherlands Is ever
20 become German territory the fact Of
such an alliance may be OF some in
fiuence In bringing about the annexing
process by which Germany would ac-
quire q rich and beautiful land and the.
Netherlands would enjoy powerful pro-
lection. Wilhelmina, however, seems to

Dutch conservatism
