with other cities. The character Of
Akron's manufactures generally is
such that not great deal OF dirt 10

To those who understand the priva.

ers must endure. there Is far more
than idle interest or curiosity in the
groups of foreigners who emisrate to
America and journey into the interior.

The VIRGINIA WAY.
from The springfield Rerublicar

tFrom the springfield Republican.
The Virginia Legislature that author
i1ed the calling of a constitutional con-
vention stipulated that the new consti.
tuition should he submitted to the peo.
pie, and the Democratic state conven-
tlon, representing the dominant party,
also promised by resolution that tho
constitution should he submitted to the
people. Yet in the very act of break
ing those pledges the convention had
the audsoity to appeal santtimoniously
10 tho Almighty for the divine appro-
vAl;--
We, therefore, the people Of vir.
einia, 50 assembled In convention,
through our representatives with graf.
itude 10 God for his. past favors. and
invoking his blessing upon the result
OF our deliberations, do ordain and de.
clare the following revised and amend.
cd constitution for the government of
the commonwealth OF Virginia.
An appeal to the Almighty is al.
ways In order, and It's no new trick
to plaster broken pledges with thu
treacle OF the divine blessing. But il

Trusts and the tariff are the two
great problems before the country,
says Henry Wade Rogers OF the Yale
law school in n Chicago interview.
The trusts are largely dependent on the
tariff, and one way OF meeting the
trust problem must he through the
tariff which helps to create it. Prof
Rogers finds opinion so prevalent in
favor Of tariff revision as an anti
trust measure that he wonders what

whether Roosevelt or some other
factor. Another bolster to the trusts
is tho special railroad rate. and to
the contention of Messrs. Hill and
Hartman and other railroad magnntes
that the government should let their
business alone, Prof, Rogers repeats
what has been so often said In these
columns, that III will either he govern

Collision AVerted.

A serious accident was narrowly
aycrted off Jones's Point last night by
the prompt action Of the officers of the
steamer T. V. Arrowsmith, who stopped
the boat and prevented the running
down and sinking of Il rowboat in which
a gentleman and lady Of this city were
seated. The steamer was on her way
up the river and at the point named
headed slightly to the northwest ana
directly for the rowboat, the occupants
of which supposed she was going to the
eastward of them. There was no light
in the small boat and those in the pilot
house of the Arrowsmith were uncon-
scious of the danger until the lady
shriekel. The steamer was stopped in
stantly and the rowbOat glided so close
to the Arrowsmith that the lady's COM
panon had to take an oar and place 1t
against the steamer in order to push his
boat away from it. Numbers OF
people indulge in nocturnal rows on the
river. Sometimes the boats are manned
by inexperienced people, and with the
number of excursion steamers passing
up and down the river after dark it is
a wonder that serious accidents have
not occurred before.

Fish.

Reports from the upper Potomac are
to the effect that there are few bass III
the river this year Various theories
have been advanced as to why the fish
are apparently so scarce. Many believe
that the carp, which are so numerous IN
the river. are responsible for the trouble
because they devOur the spawn of the
bass. Others think that the floods the
past spring have carried the bass below
the Great Falls. Whatever may be the
cause, it Is pretty certain that there are
fewer bass in the Potomac this season
than for manvyears.

baseball team, Of Chicago, composed
mostly of women, was defeated by a
score of to yesterday afternoon at the
hands of picked team known as the
Alexandrians. The game was played
on the old fair grounds, on upper King
street. The game was exciting and hot
" contested throughout, and was wit
messed by several hundred people. The
game opened ratherunauspiciously for the
visitors. rs in the first three innings the
local team piled up five runs against
them, while the visitors only succeeded III
making two runs. Toward the close Of
the game. however. by fast playing they
piled up several hits, and threatened to
turn the tables. The field work OF
the visitors was good, but they seemed to
be Door batterS. The feature of the
game was the pitching Of Miss Donnelly
for the visitors. She kept the hits scat
tered, and only allowed two men to walk
to first base. After few innings Miss
Donnelly was relieved by Russell, who
had been acting as catcher. The maid
ems are excellent sprinters, as was ably
demonstrated by their base running.
