CHEER FOR YOUNG NAvAE MEN.

HEFR ron YOUNG NAVAL NJ EN-.
| Young men who are thinking of join
ing the navy, and young men who are
already in it will be encouraged ty the
efforts that are being made to enable
them to have legitimate fun in their off
hours. An order which has been is
sued by Secretary Moody tells of the
number of base balls, bats, catchers'
masks and mitts, belts, shoes and other
supplies that are to go to vessels of
different classes. The department has
just filled the requisition for the crew
of the Missouri, which is to include 2
punching bags, "a base balls, foot
balls, u base ball bats, catchers'
masks, Easements mitts, catchers'
mitts, catchers' protectors, "a pairs
of stockings, an equal number of foot
ball trousers, with belts, and pairs of
S-ounce boxing gloves. The order fur

officer of any ship shall report to the
department that there is on board the
vessel under his command a we'll de-
veloped base ball organization, the ves-
sci will be supplied with ten extra base
ball suits, the shirts Of which will
bear the name Of the vessel on the
breast. The government is also pre-
pared to furnish trophies for the gall
liant tars to strive for on the base ball
and foot ball field. When a squadron
commander shall request them, the fol-
lowing trophies are to be furnished, for
vessels having compliments of 300 or
more: Rowing, a gilded rooster; sail
ing, a small model of navy cutter, I'M
der sail; base ball, a blue and gold
banner; foot ball, a gilded wooden foot
ball; fencing, crossed broadswords. YES
sells having compliments of less than
300: Rowing, silver rooster; sailing, a
small model of navy whaleboat under
sail; base ball, red and gold banner;
foot ball, silver wooden foot ball;
fencing, crossed broadswords.
This will be almost like going to col
lege, and many young men will appre-
ciate it and be better and more efficient
men for it.

DON'T TAKE THE RTSIl.

Rev and Professor Dallas Sharpe has
attracted attention to himself by say
ing this in sermon preached in Bos-
ton: mo woman who wears a sea gull
or a song bird in her hat can ever get
to heaven. If you need an Easter bon
net, get it. Wear it to church, for what
better place to wear it than to church I?
1t is an honor to God and a benedic-
tion to the soul to have and see Easter
bonnets. Get the bonnets, however,
without robbing and killing. Those
who rob the lives of the song bird and
the bird Of beautiful plumage cannot
hope for heaven"
Brother Sharpe speaks as one who
knows, and he may be right. If he is
the population of heaven is going to be
less than some have thought it would
be-. AS it is certainly a sin and a
shame to sacrifice pretty birds to van
lily, and as that sin and shame may
keep folks out of heaven, it is well to
be on the safe side and not wear bird
hats or bonnets. 1t would be pity to
miss heaven on account Of a desire to
look we'll on earth. An eternity of
beauty and joy is more desirable than
an hour or two of them.

Ia .ssarble Time.

A patch of moist and trodden ground,
A sc0oped-Out hole, a mystic ring,
A group of urchinS clustered round,
A noisy sound of quarreling.
The click Of pretty painted spheres,
The we'll known cry of "Knuckle down.
By all these tokens it appears
It's marble time around the town.
The long years back it carries me
To when a grubby little boy,
bent badly tattered knee,
And cleaned my comrades out with joy!

With protest and triumphant whoop,

INTER ESTING TALK IN RUSSIA.

There is apparently some free speech
in Russia. At dinner in st. Peters,
burg to celebrate the forty-second an
niversary of the emancipation of the
serfs many literary men, journalists
and teachers were present, together
with a few soldiers. One of the chief
speakers was Professor Semevsky, who
was deprived of his professorship a
dozen years ago on account of his lib
eral opinions. He gave an account of
the abortive constitution drawn up by
Loris Melikoff, and spoke of the causes
which had prevented it's adoption. He
passed briefly over the thirty years of
reaction which had followed, and con-
Guided by saying that the agitation had
broken out afresh and with renewed
force. The government had tried it's
best to suppress it, had exiled and i'm
prisoned by the thousand men from all
classes Of society, but it's efforts had
been in vain, the agitation was spread
ing throughout the length and breadth
Of the country, and he was convinced
that the time was not far distant when
great and sweeping reforms would have
to be granted. NJ. Hessen, lecturer at

A jury Of the law school Of the Uni
versity of Iowa has found Hamlet,
Prince of Denmark, guilty OF man
slaughter in killing his uncle. The case
has been on trial for nearly month,
and has engaged the attention of the
most distinguished lawyers and alien
.sts in Iowa. The verdict is generally
approved by literary and dramatic
critics, who could never quite make up
their minds that Hamlet was insane.
The penalty under the law of Iowa is
imprisonment for ten years.

There are many things in Paris.
Among them is a silent club. The
members are all deaf and dumb, and
communicate with each other by signs.
They meet in rooms in the Montpar-
nasse district, and there drink, smoke,
play cards, and read the newspapers,
the magazines and the newest novels.
The servants attached to the club are
noiselessly and mysteriously. They are
ordered to put down plates and glasses
without sound, so that a silence near
" as complete as that prevailing in a
Cistercian or Carthusian cloister is
maintained.

Rules for Shaking Hands.

A lawyer of Portland, Me, has
 brought suit for damages against a | former friend who shook hands with
 him with such fervor that the com
 plainant's wrist was broken. If the issues are not limited by the pleadings | 1t is obvious that most attractive field
 Of judicial investigation will be af- forded in the consideration of the the
 ory and practice of hand shaking. The
 subject is an old one, but not without possibilities of further elucidatiOn. When MT. Richard Mansfield pre- scented Julius Caesar in Kansas City | it was observed that the Romans of the stage grasped each others wrists in
 the lock grip such as Graeco- Roma n | wrestlerS employ. It was a bit Of
 realism, to be sure, but possibly the | Portland defendant had seen the same
 performance, and, thinking the prece- dent a new one, had followed it. That
 might account for the fact that the | lawyers wrist was broken instead of his phalanges.
 | In the particular case under consider
 alton such a discussion might go to the
 merit Of the controversy as showing | that there was no malice in the act, l though it might be regarded as extra
 neous to the point in dispute and only
 one Of several interesting obiter dicta in which the court might indulge. The court could be excused for some con siderable invective against the mis- guided jay who shows how strong he is by squeezing an innocent friends hand until the bones ache. That prac- tice is not unknown here in the west, and is much on a par with the other "Rube" habit which some big, husky men have of skipping a slight-and,
 possibly, consumptive-friend on tho back as a mark of especial gratifica-
 tion upon meeting. On the other hand
 the judge in his decision might deliver few well chosen, censOrious remarks in regard to the lackadaisical indiVid-
 ual whose limp hand never closes in a grasp. but maintains the impassivity of those cold engravures on tombstones which indicate how slight a hold the
 gone but not forgotten" has on the world he left behind. In his excoria-
 tion it would be impossible for the judge to improve on Dickens's compar- ison of such hand clasp to "clutching a fish in the dark" but the weight of judicial condemnation would not be superfluous.

American Cities Need.

"The greatest need of American cities today said MT. T. N. Haphard of Philadelphia, lis that politics should
 be eliminated from the government of municipalities. We do not need to go further away from home than Phila- delphia for a demonstration of this. There is no possible connection be- tween the issues involved in muni- cipal and a national election, and that municipal campaigns should be fought out on national party lines seems the height of absurdity. It would be just as sensible to inject national politics into the election of church or secret

It would be a loss oi labor for tse court to admonish sleek politicians against rubbing a partisan's hand against their capacious midriffs, and the cad who gives his left hand in a nonchalent manner when his ri~ht is unemployed is hopelessly unteachable. Still the etiquette of the warmly hos pitable but not too effusive handshak- ing might be profitably and fittingly enunciated by a court of law, and much wisdom and learning could be expend- ed in giving form and sanction to this popular sort of greeting.-Kansas City Star.

once and again that any promise she makes is vaiueless. Japan needs but a word of encouragement in her ear, and before the gulf of Pechili is again ice bound Manchuria will be free of the Russians. If we had a Palmerston or a Canning such a decision would ba possible. and even probable, but who expects great acts from our present ministers?
 Failing such a decision, Russia s continued occupation of Manchuria will go undisturbed. If she evacuates one place it will be only to go to another a few miles off. Her officials will be as supreme there as on Russian soil No one else will have any rights. ThaC innocent institution. the Russo Chinese bank, will receive the dues of the GUS toms and account for them to the Russian government or resident.
 What will be the moral of this? It is one that the most tlmid of ministers need not fear to apply to the general position in China. Russia's retention of Manchuria signifies a deathblow to the policy of "the open door,"
 ''The loss of that important and val uable province carries with it so seri- ous breach of the integrity of China that it becomes forthwith a mere illu- sion. China minus Manchuria and Mongolia, is no longer the same state that existed before the Boxer move ment, which is the official formula for the integrity of China. There is a valid reason to regard Shantung as already a German subtraction from the whole of China, and now there is ground to apprehend that France may detach her portion in the province of KwangSi. The hollowness of the phrase ''the in tegrity of China" would be finally re- vealed by Russia's retention of Man churia, and, as it is only too clear that she will retain it, it follows that our only conception of a sound policy iii China. has been the repetition of q phase that never had much meaning, and now has none at all.
 Under these circumstances there is only one course open to us. Facts, however unpleasant, must be recog- nized. and the policy of "the open door, has to be declared a failure. The only sensible course left to us is to fall back upon the alternative policy of
 lHc sphere OI WHICH Lansdowne told us last year he held in reserve.
 Russia has got her sphere in Man churia. Other powers have more or less surely acquired theirs elsewhere. It is time for us to make certain of ours in the Yangtse valley. The first step in this direction is the occupation of Chusan as a base of future opera tions. and Australia should be invited to begin her own imperial mission In the far east by contributing her quota to the garrison of that island, Japan will at the same time occupy the place that she deems necessary. whether in Corea or at Foochow, or at both points. In this way alone can we secure Gr equivalent to Russias seizure of Man churia, and lay the foundations of the power that will bar the road to Russia when, not content with everything out side the great wall, she seeks to cross

KentuckY's Eeud District.

| Senator Blackburn of Kentucky was | in Washington a few days ago and made interesting statements regarding the situation in Breathitt county, where Attorney J. B. Marcum was assassin ared several days ago. He said that Kentucky lawlessness was confined to the mountains of the state, where the most incomprehensible people in the world live
 They are nearly all illiterate. half senator, yet they are the most hospit- Q ble people to be found anywhere. They are dirt eaters and quarrelsome Many of their feuds are of a hundred years standing, and do not believe 1t possi- ble to stop their fighting so long as the people continue to live. They never modest woman, nor will they shoot an enemy accompanied by a woman or a child.

They always shoot from the bushes and never give a man d chance for his life. In their way they are honest. A stranger may stop with them In the meanest hovel and never have any fear of being robbed. The mountaineer will lie on the dirt floor and give his bed to a stranger. He will divide his food with him and will be insulted if offered any money for his hospitality. yet for s25 he would not hesitate to seize his rife and hide in the bushes and shoot the first man who came along.
 There have been various theories advanced to account for the peculiar nature of these people, and one is that many years ago all the escaped con- victs from the adjoining states fled into the mountains of Kentucky for refuge, and their descendants are now raising the devil. It is born in them and nothing can eradicate it. I doubt whether the man who killed Marcum will ever be arrested and tried. No one would appear against him, but he Is a marked man. and sooner or later he will be shot in the same way that Marcum was.
 ''I knew that Goebel was going to be killed and I warned him several times, but I made one mistake. When the mountaineers were brought down to the capital in a body I thought that it would occur then. and when they went back to their homes thought the dan ger was passed. but should have paid more attention to the character of the mountaineer and would then have seen through the plans of the assassin. admit that it is a deplorable situation. but I cannot see any remedy except time.'
