TF THE officers OF the Tri-state

and If they wish to retain their own
self-respect they win take effective
means Of disclplining certain thugs who
appear as players on the various teams

There was a disgraceful scene al
South Side Park yesterday, owing to
the determination OF Harrisburg
player to secure decisions favorable to
his team, even though to do so he had
20 assault the umpire and outrage the
feelings Of the spectators. The mis-
take was that this rowdy was not lock-
ed up and made TO answer for his In
fraction of our laws.
Another player of the same team re-
called the spectators with his profan-
ity and went unrebuSed. and certain
spectators, to keep up wilmington
end, got drunk and became boisterous
Now an OF this is very entertaining
but it isn't baseball on every team
there are rowdies and there are gentle
men, and the latter almost invariably
are steadier and play better ball 1t is
due the public, due the players an,
due the managements to sternly sup

Each association should have a set o.

NO REVENUE FROM
SALE OF PHOTOGRAPHS
Some Actresses Derived an
Income of $500 From
Pictures

Popular actresses made in the past
from $500 to $500 a year on the sale Of
their photographs, but now this source
Of revenue is altogether lost to them.
Il drew from my photographer, up
to ten years ago, a regular annual in
come Of $500. I was under contract to
pose only for him; he had the exclus-
i've sale of my pictures. and on each
picture that he sold he paid me a
royalty.
"That is the way it used to be with
popular actresses. They signed pap
ers to the effect that they would pose
only for one photographer, and he sign
ed papers TO the effect that he would
pay them a royalty on each of their
pictures that he sold. Thus they made
easily from s. to S25 a week.
"No such pleasant condition exists
today The change is due to that per-
fecting of the half-tone process where
by the magazines, the weeklies and the
newspapers can reproduce photographs
beautifully.
LAS soon as that reproduction began
the theatrical managers spared no
pains to get photographs of their lead
ing women printed. for they recognized
that the publication of such photo
graphs was an excellent advertisement.
They ordered their leading women to
pose for any and every newspaper or
magazine photographer who presented
himself and they had additional pho
tographs made for free distribution
among the various publications Of the
] land
THUS the actresses We're forced 10
/ break their contracts with their own
I photographers. Thus. too, the sale of
pictures fell Off. For these pictures
which formerly were rare enough and
! interesting enough to sell readily We're
now become so common, through their
reproduction iu innumerable prints
/ that hardly anyone cared TO buy them
I'VE stage folk are not averse to get
/ ting our pictures printed. We are glad
on the whole that the reproduction OF
photographs in newspapers and maga-
zines has become general. At the same
/ time, though, we regret the pleasant
! royalties that we no longer draw"

NEW CASTLE REGULAR.

TT HAS been said recently that If the
Republicans of Delaware eject a
Governor this year he win be a
resident Of New Castle county and he
viii be a Regular Republican.
There Is every reason for maintaining
this position New Castle county hasn't
had o. Governor since Benjamin r..
Biggs held that office. elected in No
vember. 1SSL For the past twenty
years our chief executives have come
from Kent or Sussex. or if we wish
to go back to Cochran, New Castle has
had two Governors IN thirty-two years.
Surely this county Is entitled to recog-
milton this time.
1t is equally clear that if a Republi-
can. he should be a Regular. Four
years ago the Union Republicans
named John HUM. who has served
them faithfully IN every particular At
the same time the Regulars named the
candidate for Congress. At the end OF
two years the Union Republicans stir
having their Governor, refused to assist
IN returning the Regular Republican
TO Congress, and succeeded in placing
a Democrat In that position. The equi-
ties demand that the terms Of the CON
tract OF four years ago shall be re-
versed.
Then. too. IL the Republicans OF New
Castle county are to name the candi-
date for Governor they should be all
lowed to name their own man; no other
proposition win be considered for a
moment. II a governor is conceded ia
New Castle IS would not be permitted
for Kent and Sussex to select him. Sc
all the logic Of the situation demands
that the candidate shall be from New
Castle county and that he shall be a
Regular Republican.

GYPSIES FORMERLY
CALLED EGYPTIANS

The word Gypsy, of curious and in
teresting origin, is illustrative of the
tenacity of a corruption and suggestive
that the propensity of children for ac-
quiring bad language is a racial trait.
The Gypsies on their first appearance
I'm England about the beginning of the
sixteenth century, were mistaken for
Egyptians and so called by men Of
education, but the common people, find
ing some difficulty in mastering the
name, rendered it "Gypsies," and so
the wandering people have ever since
been called.
During the reign Of Henry VIII. i'm
1881, "A statue was enacted expelling the
Gypsies from the country under penalty
of Imprisonment and forfeiture of prop
erty. According to the Grey Friars'
Chronicle, the statute reclted that
many outlandish people calling them
selves Egyptians. using no craft nor
faict (practice) Of merchandise, have
come into this realm and gone from
shire to shire and place TO place i'm
great company and used great subtle
and crafty means to deceive the people /;
bearing them i'm hand that they by
palmistry could tell mems and wOmen's
fortunes and so many times by craft
and subtlety have deceived the people
of their money, and also have COM
mitted many and heinous felonies and
robberies." Six years later Cromwell,
in a letter to the President of the
Marches of Wales. accuses "the Gip-
cians." as he calls them, of "falsehoods,
felonies and treasons" and orders the
execution Of such as fail to leave at
command.
The Gypsies had spread over the con-
tinent Of Europe several centuries be-
fore their appearance in England. and
an Austrian monk writing of them in
the twelfth century. calls them the
progeny Of the son of Hagar, or Ishmae-
lites. Modern historians, however
have. by the peculiarities Of their Ian
guage. traced their origin to india.
Throughout the orient and Continental
Europe they were known as metal
workers. and Sir John Lubbock attrio-
utes to them the introduction Of me-
tallurgy. especially Of bronze, into
Europe.-New York Times.

WILL FUMIGATE SHIP
American Bark Not to Enter Delaware
Waters Until cleansed.

Waters Until Cleansed.

rived at Delaware Breakwater on sun
day with two of her crew down with
the dread disease, beri-beri, a third
having died at sea. viii not be allowed
to enter the port Of Philadelphia until
she has been thoroughly disinfected.
Although the physicians declare that
the disease is neither infectious nor
contagious DIR. Fairfax Irwin who has
charge of the United States Marine
Hospital Service at the Breazwater
said yesterday that the government
could not afford to take any chances
.of allowing sickness to reach port by
way of the sea.
He said there was no danger Of the
disease spreading, as the climate here
and general conditions We're not con-
ducive to its growth or development
For all that, he said, the ship would
be thoroughly fumigated and allowed
to enter port only after the most extra
ordinary precautions had been OBJ
served
There was some hope of saving tht
lives Of the two men.
