Useful Athletics.
From the Chicago Tribune.

from the Chlcago Tribune.
Why not put high school boys at rifle
practice? Base ball is a good thing, but 1t
can never be used in defense Of our hearths
and affairs. Foot ball Is a good thing but
it will never retard the advance Of the
cruel and naughty invader. Putting the
shot, Of course, might have its value. and
in these days OF frenzy for Handmade"
things a shot which was propelled by the
bare human hand might have an esthetic
advantage over shot propelled by an
unrefiective, unindividualized piece of ma
chinery, but the enemy might disregard an
esthetic defeat. Why not. then, turn the
attention Of our high school athletes to a
game which will give them sport and exer-
else and which will prepare them to become
efficient members of our citizen army7
These are the arguments that are being
used in Washington, D. c., in connection
with an attempt to get rifle practice into
the high schools Of that city. Ma ior J. E.
Bell, inspector general Of rife practice Dis
trict Of Columbia National Guard, Is inter
ested. So Is Gen. G. H Harrfes, vice preSi
dent Of the board of education. 80 is Secre-
tary Root OF the War Department. These
gentlemen do we'll to be interested. II any
thing has been proved by recent wars 1t is
that soldiers must be able to shoot. No
matter how many maneuvers they under
stand, no matter how many miles they can
march, no matter how many diseases they
can battle, they must be able to hit tho
enemy as soon as the corner Of his eye ap-
pears above the kopje.
Now, Americans have always been IA
nous as marksmen. We have been proud
OF this fact. At New Orleans the British,
at Santiago the Spanish, at Pekin the Chi
nese. we're distressed by this fact. At Pekin
correspondents say that the American
troops silenced the all-protected fire Of
the Chinese when the other detachments Of
the allied forces would not even enter the
courtyards. Shooting at men who were SO
adequately concealed behind walls seemed
to the other attachments a waste Of ammu-
milton. To the Americans 1t seemed an Or
binary, conventional operation OF warfare.
But let US not get superstitious. There Is
nothing In the star-spangled banner which
improves the Workmanship Of the men
who fight for It, Americans have been good
marksmen for the same reason that other
frontiersmen. like the Beers, have been
good marksmen. They have been used to
handling firearms. Let boy grow up with
q gun and he will learn to shoot But from
tier life is passing away. The number OF
Americans who grow up naturally and un-
consciously into marksmen Is getting
smaller. Artificial training must take the
place of natural and unconscious growth.
The proposition to put the athletic ardor Of
our young men to a useful use deserves re-
spectful consideration.

Health Laws in England.

From the London Chronicle.
Everybody by this time is familiar with
the procurement Of science that splitting
is a habit. which. apart from it's unpleas-
ant nature, is fraught, in the case OF con-
sumptave persons, with great danger to the
nation at large. Something must have been
accomplished in the way of lessening the
practice from the advice to refrain from 1t
legibly displayed in public places" from
tramcars to post offices. Local laws are
also in operation for the punishment of
those who offend. A Liverpool investiga-
tion showed that OF 103 samples" OF ex-
pectoration examined Ave contained viru-
lent, that is, active. bacilli OF tuberculosis.

railway carriages Is beginning to receive
attention. They are places" much reQuir-
ing attention In this respect. A fine of lbs.
each was inflicted on two men at Perth the
other day for splitting In a railway car

the county council Of Glamorgan. All such
legislation Is not only needed. but Its bene-
fetal effect wiil not be limited.fo suppress
ing nuisance. Through the operation Of
the law the thoughts Of the nation will
be directed toward the prevention OF dis
ease. and this alone must be regarded as
an eminently desirable result.

BRYAN NAMES A TRIO.
Morgan, Rockefeller and Whitnev as
Campaign Managers.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore sun
rom Lincoln, Neb.. says: The following

Commoner:

party as to what men or class of men have
the conduct Of the campaign INQUIRED
one Of the speakers of the Iroquois banquet
In Chicago. Well. suppose j. F. Morgan is
chairman Of the national committee; Rookie
Teller. treasurer. and w. c. Whitney gem
eral corruption fund collector, what would
such victory be worth to the party or the
country? An extreme case has been sup
posed, but what II the leaders are men who
think like Morgan Rockefeller and Whit
ney, but are not so well known. VIII the
people fare any better?
Plutocracy Is never SO odious as when 1t
hides under democratic name"
Further discussing the Iroquois BANQUET.
the Commoner says 1t was, as might haye
been expected, a demonstration in honor of
Mr.. Cleveland, and continues:
This illustrates the kind of harmony
that Is intended when those who believe in
democratic principles are invited to meet at
the banquet board the men who still boast
OF their contribution to republican vict
and stand ready to repeat their offense nm
less they are allowed to republicanize the
democratic party"

ed on the journey to Lake City. During the
entire distance Of thirty miles he was not
united, and when the town was reached he
was as near dead as alive. He was placed
in a room of one of the hotels.
1.-The new postmaster of Lake City, whose
name can't recall just now, asked about
the matter, and he, too, was seized and
handcuffed.i It was not until a number OF
citizens made vigorous protests that the
handouts were taken off. The two de-
tectives' left Morrison in the room hand
cuffed, and with the door securely locked,
and they went out to a bar room, where
they loaded up and refused to pay, saying
they were government officers. Their con-
duct became SO outrageous that they were
arrested and placed in Jail. while the hand
cuffs were cut from Morrison, and after
time he was sent. back to White Springs,
where he found one William Long in charge
of the Office, which he was holding under a
commission issued by the democratic ex-
postmaster. Long had moved the post
Office into Paxton's store, and declined to
surrender the postmastership to Morrison.
The department was notified and inspectors
sent to the scene. Long was arrested and
placed in jail and the office turned over to
Morrison. -
AFTER a few days confinement in the
Jail at Lake City Detective Morgan gave
bond, but Lewis remained locked up, where
Inspector Laird succeeded in getting full
confession. Lewis volunteered as wit
ness for the United States, and valuable
one he proved to be. When the United
States commissioner made an investigation
Morgan, o. N Paxton, Principal Skipworth
of the Florida Normal School, Assistant
Principal Quialiian and a Mr.. Cone. the
wealthiest man in Hamilton county, were
held for trial. Morgan was sentenced to
pay fine of 5000 and costs and the others
placed under heavy bonds.
But the people Of White Springs never
did let up on poor Morrison, and his life
was made miserable. He made more than
one trip to Washington, asking for protec-
ton.
I'VE are not all good, SO 1 will add that
Laird. the inspector who worked up the
evidence in this case. fell from grace, and
did term in the pen for robbing the post
Office at LAGRANGE, Ca, where his daughter
was postmistress He got several hundred
dollars out of the safe and then fixed it
so that it would appear that burglars had
done the job. He made bungling piece of
work, and it was not difficult matter to
place the robbery on him. Before going
to Georgia he threw up his place as in
spector, and. naturally, after he was con-.
victed Of robbing the Office of his own
daughter we began to think that perhaps
he had been crooked in other work.

sLOVENLY SPEECH.
A Woman Criticises Americans Use of
Mother Tongue.

From the New York Tribune e@e-'v'.t
Mounting pinning down the point Of the
tongue, spreading 1t out, habbiness Of the
jaws, which leads many girls to do their
talking outside the mouth to the accom-
paniment of much swallowing, even slut
tering, are not congenital defects, only bad
habits, which can be readily corrected"
said Miss Mary s. Thompson at the last of
the talks given under the auspices of the
New York State Household Economic AS
ISOLATION at the Berkeley Lyceum
There was an unusually large attendance,
and great interest was manifested in the
three speakers of the afternoon, who ap-
peared as opponents of voice culture phys
fcal culture and the drama.
Continuing her talk, Miss Thompson said:
Since the days Of the old Greeks nothing
has been done to improve the quality Of the
voice so far as 1t Is speaking voice. Al
though human speech is the one thing that
lnterprets the human soul, its correct and
musical expression is the last and least
thing considered In all educational work
t'Vowes are universal language Let
tiers are not speech. How many people
are there who pronounce the word up
correctly? Americans. are proverbialiy
careless in their speech. Out of up they
make two syllables-while feel sat and
a host Of little words are given two sounds
instead of one.
."The use of the lips is an important mat
ter. So many children are taught to use
their lips on all sounds. making hideous
faces thereby. There is system that
teaches how to use novels and consonants
correctly and then how to put them to-
gether.
Americans are singularly deficient in the
matter of infection. Children speaking
naturally often run UP the whole scale, and
It is charming; then some older person feels
lmpelled to curb them, telling them not to
show OFF, and making them conscious. This
is the greatest mistake in the world. We
should allow the soul to show through
the tone. If we Americans conld Join the
Italian cadences, with their great variety
of tones, to the English pronunciation Of
words-and that, you know, IL distinctly
different from the American-we should
have the most beautiful language in the
world"

a colored man attempting to batter down

man was ordered to desist, but he paid no
attention to the officers command. and
continued his efforts to batter down the
door. BY that time the whole neighbor-

the mans relatives resided in the house,
but they objected to letting him in because
of his condition. he being much the worse
for overindulgence in intoxicants.
