onMFonr IN MEETING.

How to get people to meeting is a question still unanswered. A Jersey City minister has tackled it and he hopes to add to his congregation this summer by allowing those who compose lit to be as comfortable as they can be bodily while he is comforting their souls. The Rev. Robert M. Aylesworth. of the Simpson NJ. E. church. in Jersey City. has requested the nien and wo- men of the congregation to dress so lthat they may enjoy the greatest amount of comfort. He recommends
 the coatless negligee for the men, and
 that the women leave their hats at
 home in the evening. He cannot see that such costumes are not as fitting in the, sight of the Lord as fashions boilerplate"-the stiff, starched shirt
 bosom. cuffs and collar, and the un- comfortable coat. And he does see that comfort induces better attention to the services.
 There's something in this notion. lWorshipping the Lord in the beauty of
 clothes can be overdone. And as peo- pie expect to be comfortable in Heaven there is something congruous ill being icomfortable on earth while thinking and ltoo,.i,-~ oho,,+ rroox,a,,

as txPEoTED.

The wise. and even those who are mot so very wise, foresaw that there would be trouble when the paternal lgovernment of this great, glorious and
 comparatively free country allowed it. Iself to be induced to be uncommonly generous to the St. Louis Exposition. Some of the trouble has already arriv- led. The government lent the Exposi- Ition S4,600,00O taking some kind of promise to pay based on the receipts. Now the Secretary of the Treasury has formally notified the Exposition conn Ipany that unless payments on the loan Iare promptly forthcoming when due, he, as the guardian of the United States
 Treasury, will step in and take charge Iof the receipts and the collection of fair tickets.
 The situation is interesting. It seems to be not at all probable that the pay lments will be made. The attendance is Inot as good as 1t was expected to be Tor as good as the merits of the show warrant. How the government will manage remains to be seen, and it will Ibe interesting to see. will it finally take

 sweets
 To woo the wandering bee. In hammock swung we'll gently ride, And read or idly dream In bosky little nook beside A swift and crystal stream. Here sunbeams slant through leafy
 rifts
 And gild the earth below, Where apple blossoms fall in drifts Sweet summers scented snow. Come out if healthy you should be- Let my request prevaili There's a neat cottage close by me That's luckily for sale A lovely lawn, a garden fine, An orchard filled with fruit In fact, I'd like to sell you mine If that one doesn't suit.

RATS ALWAYS SAIL AWAY
Yet There is No Apparent Decrease in Their number at New Orleans.

Yet There is No Apparent Decrease
 in Their number at New Orleans. Captain A. R. McConnigal was for a number of years an officer of one of the fruit steamers plying between New Orleans and Central American ports. Talking with me about this fruit trade one day last week, he said: Do you know, it amazes me that the fruit steamers do not succeed in ridding New Orleans of its rat population.
 They are continually carrying rats from Jew Orleans, and never bring them
 back, yet the rat supply in the Crecent | City always holds up under the strain pretty well.
 " Twas in the trade for a good many years. and I count this curious freak of the Louisiana rats one of the oldest
 things I have ever been cognizant of. While the fruit steames lie at the New Orleans docks the rats stow themselves away by the scores and hundreds. Cats are of no avail in keeping them back. I had fifteen on board my craft once, and they succeeded in doing no more than keep the rodents below deck. On the tout voyage they are one of the biggest lnuisances imaginable, but as soon as
 the vessel reaches one of the Central or South American ports they swarm ashore, as though the Pied Piper of Hamelin were playing on the sands.

twenty thousand laborers flock every summer to work at the docks. the pre- feet has asked the governor of the prov inces to warn laborers that their ser vices will not be required in the harbor this year. Many factories have closed or are working half-time. Gloomy re- ports are given of the condition of the home industries in Mini Novgorod. and it is reported that on certain railroad lines. including the Riazan-Ural rail- road. a large proportion of the employees are to be dismissed.

creed This austerity produced it's own virtues, but tolerance. mildness and loving kindness were not among them The modern view recognizes the neces- sity for morals. but it also recognizes that changed conditions of existence re- quire thought for health and comfort. We cannot live n the New York of this twentieth century as they lived in Ply mouth in the seventeenth. The church must win it's congregations. It cannot command them. And any attempt to force attendance is viewed with enTnity by those who will not be commanded The law is at best prohibition. not an indictment. What is best is never wrung from us. but is granted freely for the good of our fellow men. The law holds down the bad. but the church lifts the good. The church has higher function than the court, and 1t should not ask the alliance of merely mate rial aid to order that it may prosper in it's own purposes.-Brooklyn Eagle.

THE FIRST BASEBALL CAME.

The first newspaper report of a base-
 ball game that remember reading was
 an account of a, game played at Hobo-
 ken, N. J., inr 1859. It appeared in an | Illustrated weekly, and was such a
 novel and interesting event that the weekly gave a double-page ilIustra- tion.
 | There were no baseball schedules in those days, and nobody lay awake
 nights matching up reasons why Har-
 yard should not play Princeton and
 why Yale should play Pennsylvania. All that was needed was an occasion
 such as a Fourth of July celebration, a tcountry fair, a house-raising, or some other event of that nature. The occa- sion for this particular game was the
 entertainment given to team of Eng | fish cricketers then touring this coun- ltry, and defeating United States twen- Ity-twos' with commendable regularity.
 We had evolved game from the old 1 baseball, and we wanted to show our cousins what high old game 1t was. It may have been the "humors of 1.-the day. editor who wrote the report, | which was as follows:
 Baseball differs from cricket, es- ipecially in there being no wickets. The bat is held in the air. When the ball l has been struck, the outs try to catch l it, in which case the striker is out or, l if they cannot do this, to strike the Istriker with it when he is running, ~, fi1rovxy;e.o y,,1+es him s0i1t
 Instead of wickets, there are, at this game, four or five marks called bases,
 ono of which being the one at which
 the striker stands, is called home
 "As at cricket, the point of the game lis to make the most runs between
 bases; the party which counts the most
 runs wins the day"
 | The fact that the reporter thought
 it necessary to explain how the game
 was played indicates the extent of the public's knowledge of baseball at that time, and even he wasn't quite sure 1 whether there were four bases or five. When he says a base runner may be put out by hitting him with the ball he makes no mistake, for that was an l actual fact, and it was considered a good play on the part of base runner to draw a throw from the pitcher, for usually the runner would dodge the
 throw and gambol around the bases
 while the fielders were hurrying after
 the ball. This rule was abolished as
 soon as the game became popular, for
 baseman, instead of touching run ner with the ball, would often soak him at short range, which generally brought forth unprintable remarks from the soakee.
 E The artist in illustrating this game was not far behind the reporter. The picture shows us several hundred spec
 tators, and with the exception of few ladies and gentlemen seated in car
 riages, the only person sitting down 1T
 the entire assemblage is the umpire; and, as if to show the perfect tranquil. ity of his mind and his contempt fol foul tips, he leans gracefully back ir his chair with his legs crossed. The basemen, instead of playing off, ,' are standing, each with one foot on his base, and a base runner is glued tc third" although the pitcher is about tc deliver the ball. In short, the genera

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.

Judge Gaynor delivered an opinion from the pulpit on Sunday night on Sabbath observance. It was a conser- vative, even cautious opinion, and did not inform the listener whether he might play ball next Sunday or not, though between the lines of the deci- sion it is easy to read a lenient, not to say protective, disposition. The judge indicated the difference between Sab- bath observance and Sunday legislation. and it seems strange that we have so many well meaning citizens who do not realize that there is a difference. Any of us can "obsarve" Sunday, but we cannot make our neighbor observe it in our fashion. We may keep him from getting the drink in the saloon that he covets, and oblige him to take it in his house; we may prevent him from play ing baseball in the empty lots; we may forbid him to buy and sell merchandise; we may forbid him to give plays with costumes and a curtain, although we might as well allow those accessories if we allow him to open his theater at all but we cannot oblige him to go to church, nor read the liturgy, nor dress in his best apparel nor refrain from S'Sunday papers, any more than he can compel us to break our Sabbath rules by forcing us to attend variety shows, advertised as sacred concerts,'' or whirl off to Coney Island with the mad- ding throng.
 It is a free country-in some ways, too free: in many ways, not free .enough-but the standard of freedom as well as the restraints are civic Re- ligicn does not enter into the matter. We must respect the church as a place of assemblage, as we respect any other .assemblage. We have no right to gath CT about a music hall and annoy the au- dience with jeers and catcalls; we have even the right to hold elections and po- litical meetings in peace. So long as riot Is not promulgated from within, we can ask the police to suppress any tokens of 1t without.
 In the old understanding, and it was excellent, Sunday was day not to wor- ship merely, but of rest. The only man who really worked on that day was the minister, and he was supposed to rest on Monday. Nowadays, the church att tendance has fallen off and people are giving more of the day to amusement Frankly, they need it more than they did, for the crowds and racket of our big cities are factors in the breaking down of content and health which our fathers did not confront. So we have Jour shore resorts with their Sunday mobs, well dressed, orderly and decent, and we have our ball games, author ized and otherwise, and we have con- |certs in the parks, which certainly do no harm; many go out of town in cars, carriages, automobiles and on bicycles to seek the rest or obtain the air and exercise which they cannot have in the |city and thousands loll in the windows land see the cars go by.
 Puritanism frowns on these things, not so much because they are irrelgious asas because they are pleasant. The stern creed of the New England fathers was that of perpetual self-repression, and that included the repression of eve- " one else who believed in a different

somE OF THE COSTS OF VAR.

War costs much besides the money Ithat is spent in carrying it on. For in- lstance, the practical cessation of trade with Siberia, due to the monopolization Iof the railroad for military purposes, is lfelt in many provinces in European
 Russia, particularly in Moscow, where lseveral large houses have become in solvent. From Kieff come reports of lgreat reluctance to invest in land The timber industry in Minsk Krement-
 chug and Kieff is suffering on account of the falling off in the building trade, and a number of firms have become in- solvent in Jitorlir. Poland is a severe sufferer. Directly after the outbreak of fostilities number of foreign banks shortened the credit of Polish firms, and the consequent embarrassment has greatly depressed industry. The clos ling of the Far Eastern market has also brought ruin, and in Lodz alone fifteen thousand persons are out of employ ment There and in Bialystok, where the number of unemployed is about one thousand, relief committees have been formed.

CAN'T FLIP IT.

The United States can't help being helpful. It even bears gifts to the Greeks in Greece It appears that the amount of money annually received in
 Greece from Greek emigrants to the United States is assuming proportions that have attracted the attention of the Greek government, bankers, and pub llic. As this money is transmitted in lvarious ways, there are no figures which show the total amount thus re- ceived annually from the United States, but Greek officials who have studied l the matter estimate that over $780, l 501.93 thus reached Greece during the year 1903. Some Greek financiers think that this influx of gold, together with | the cash annually left in the Kingdom by travellers from foreign lands, has l affected the rates of exchange and
 Considerably raised the value of the
 Greek paper money. It is estimated
 that about 4,50O travellers from the United States have visited Greece
 during each of the last four years and
 have annually left about S1,5O0,00o in
 the kingdom. Thus there is an inflow
 of about $3,4SO,OoO from the United
 States each year from those two
 sources alone.
 We congratulate the Greeks, and we ihope that what they get from us will
 be we'll spent. We can spare it, and they need it.
