A BALLOT LAW CONFERENCE.
Senator Quay and Colonel Guney to
Meet Today.

HARRISBURG, Pa. May 5.-Senator
Quay arrived here last night, and is the
guest of Governor Stone, at the execu-
tive mansion. The Senator is in the best
of health. and declared the stories of his
illness to have been greatly exaggerated
He is here to meet Col J. NJ. Guffey. the
Democratic leader. on the matter of pre-
pairing a ballot reform bill that will be
acceptable to all parties
The conference will be held at the
Lochiel Hotel tomorrow afternoon, when
Mr.. Quay viii be accompanied by Mr.
Snyder, President pro tempore OF the
Senate and MIR. Durham. the Insurance
Commissioner. Guffey will have with him
Senator Cochran and Representative
Ikeler. The differences will hardly be ad-
justed as the Quay people will insist on
the party circle for wholesale voting and
Guftey will not insist on the elimination
of the circle, which has been his main
contention.
Senator Quay, when seen at the execu-
tive mansion tonight, declared that he
had absolutely nothing to say for publi-
cation that had not already been printed.
Il am to meet Colonel GufTey tomor-
row to confer on the preparation Of bal

Morgan the Magnificent.

We are unable to agree with the Eu-
ropean papers which recognize in Mr..
J. Pierpont Morgan man who is not
only able but eager to take over the
elder continent and make it a deer park
for American billionaires. But he is a
person of importance. and. barring some
eccentricity of manner. of substantial
responsibility His opinions are valua-
BILE. They ought to be, judging from
his monumental success as a master
of finance and industry. So. when he
tells us that what this country needs is
more ships, we are quite ready TO agree
with him. especially as Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie declares that what his distin-
guished associate says is correct.
We do need more ships, and thefs is
not the least reason in the world why
we should not build and have them.
Business exigencies have compelled Mr..
Morgan to buy a large foreign mer-
chant fleet. Sixty or seventy big steam
ers cannot be constructed in day, but
future additions to that fleet. it is as
well to remember, can be produced
cheaper End better in the United States
than anywhere else. And they will be.

difference between the traditional Greek
god and the average American.
1t should be remembereL. in the first
place, that beauty, and the type of
beauty which is prevalent in any COM
munity. is largely question of climate
as well as the habits of the people.
There are places on this earth in which
nothing as beautiful as the Melian
Venus or the Relvedere Apollo could be
developed in a thousand years There
is no use in hoping that people will be
tall and stately. when the cold stunts
them from childhood nor in thinking
that they will escape cretinism if they
live in the peculiar conditions of the
Alpine valleys; nor in expecting them
To have clear and beautiful compilations
and vigorous bodies if they dwell where
they have to have fever and ague to be
in the fashion. The Greek type was
produced partly by the civilization
which favored its development, and
partly by climatic and social conditions
which did not require the endurance of
TIE severest cold or heat, or the most
exhausting and cramping toll. The
Greek of today is as a rule not income
ly. The American type owes some of its
distinguishing features to the climate
which-originally produced the American
Indian, and which is gradually toning
Celt. Saxon, Latin. and Slav down to
the same general lines of face and
figure.
But. climatic conditions aside. and it
should not be forgotten that the spirit
of evolution is not done with us yet,
and that tire power which produced the
variation of species can create new
races of men if it is given time enough
there is something in the fact that
our popular amusements are different
from those of TIE Greeks. The average
American does not become an all
round athlete He is likely to devote
himself to some one sport and make a
specially of il, and so he gets himself
abnormaIly developed on one side and
leaves the rest of his physique as he in
herited it When croquet was the fash
ion--and let us hope that that fashion
will never come in again-it was found
by medical authorities that among lit
tie girls of from ten TO fifteen years,
who were the class most devoted 10 the
game. there was a distinct tendency in
many cases TO deformity: one shoulder
was lower than the other. Lawn tennis
had many redeeming qualities; it called
for alertness and vigorous exercise, but
all the development of the arms was
one sid.d. Golf is open to the same OBJ
lection. but it has the merit of keeping
people in the open and making them
walk over rough ground. The defects
of bicycle riding as healthful exercise
are familiar to everybody. In fact, We
have nowhere except in the gymnasium
any exercise which will develop the
body symmetrically without injuring
any part.

golf enthusiast thinks he has dis
covered in the Diana Of the Louvre
proof that the Greeks played golf, and
that the CULVER which the goddess bears
was full of golf clubs. Whether the
tame deer which she holds by the hens
was the Grecian style of caddie, the en-
thusiast does not explain.
This whimsical speculation suggests
however, an interesting train of
thought. There has been much rejoic-
ing. and rightly, over the fact that the
increased interest in athletic sports
which is observable in these DAYS has
been good for the health of young peo
pie. and older ones, for that matter; but
1t has been observed with some fore
boding that the effect upon physical
comeliness has not been equally graft
flying in all cases. The young Ameri-
can Of today may be an Improvement
on some of his forebears, but he is quite
far from being a Greek in beauty. or
anything like one; and the same Is true
of the American girl. The question
which is agitating the minds of some
people is. therefore, whether the facts
that the Greeks did not play golf and
ride bicycles, and indulge in rowing
matches, and play baseball. and that
Americans do, can be said to cause the

UNITING THE sHIPYARDs.
A Combination of Several of the
Leading Plants Perfected

BATH. Me. May Sit is stated on the
best authority that a combination of the
following shipbuilding plants has been
perfected: The Union Iron Works. of San
Francisco. the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing and Dry Dock Company. of Newport
News: the Lewis Nixon Yards, of Eliza
bethport. and the Bath Iron Works, of
this city.
1t is also affirmed on authority that can
scarcely be questioned that Z. W. Hyde,
J. s. Hyde. and J. L. Andrews will hold
practically the same positions that they
nil today. which is an additional guaran-
tee that there is not the slightest danger
of the closing of the iron or windlass
works.
Edward w. Hyde. President of the Bath
Iron Works, was in the city today, but
returned to New York later. In an in
terview. he said:
There has been no change in the situa-
ton and the proportion of combining
four shipyards is still in contemplation.
Nothing definite has. as yet, been ar
rived at, however The proposed organi-
cation is not at all in the nature of a
trust, and IL carried through will be
