5 Tn a recent address on trades unions Miss Jane Addams, founder of the Chi cagn wonen's college settlement, uttered another of the epigrammatic sayings for which she is noted She said there are two ways in which an individual can make a martyr of himself-one by being ahead of the collective opinion, the oth- CT by being behind it. She thought the xcn-union man was the belated martyr.
 The story of Miss Addam's labors In Chicago and of how she drew inspiration from the career of the founder of the first college settlement in London has deep interest to all who believe in the ulti- mate wiping out of disease and poverty among the human race.
 About twenty-stx years ago Arnold Toynbee a young Engiishman just gradu- ated from Oxford, went out from student life to London, thenceforth to work for and among the very poorest and most de- graded inhabitants of the worlds greatest city. He took up permanent abode in Whitechapel, the most notorious of Lon don slums. He was a religious young man. and he called together vast audi ences of workIngmen.
 We'll Arnold Toynbee worked himself 10 death among his whitechapel poor, He passed from earth in 1883, leaving behind him only blessed memory. His peAuIlIuI tlIe ana WOrkS impressed many men and women among Britain's edu- cated and well to do classes A man whose life was before him in which to gain worldly success, a man of the best social standing, brilliantly gifted. had turned his back on all that earth had to offer and cast his lot in the poorest, toughest most wretched and desperate district of the modern Babylon 1t was putting a drop of pure water into an ocean of mud and slime, and he knew #. yet he went on all the same, as though he could hope to purify the ocean.
 The example of this extraordinary young man impressed itself more and more on the educated and well to do. Oxford and Cambridge University men laid their heads together and formulat- ed a scheme for opening in a given slum district. house in which university men should dwell and seek to teach the very poor and ignorant and to help them xinancially.g The home was established, and they named it Toynbee Hall after the dead Arnold Toynbee who had shown them the way. The residents of this first college settlement were all men, but women

ARRESTED AT BALL MATINEE Four Arrested For ViOlat- ing Sunday Law. WAS IN REAR OF SALOON Operator John P. Higgins Was
 Conducting Matinee. Arrests Made by Patrolmen Under Section IIs4 of City Code For
 bidding Public Exh:bitiea
 or Performance.

In the presence of over two hundred enthusiastic baseball fans, who had as- sembled in the rear of the Pickwick Sa- loon on Commerce Street. to hear the telegraphic report of the Montgomery New Orleans baseball game yesterday af- ternoon. John P. Higgins, telegraph operator. Tom Simpson, doorkeeper. w. A. Doster, scorer, and J. F. Sheehan. bar tender were arrested for violating the section ot the City Code relative. to en- gazing in any public exhibition or game on Sunday
 The arrests were made quietly, during the report of the ninth inning and MT. Higgins and his associates readily ac- compained the policemen to the police station where bond was made Never was there larger crowd at a baseball matinee than those who as- sembled yesterday afternoon in the Pick wick. At the, outset, Operator Higgins cautioned the audience to make no de- monstration that might disturb the peace of the Sabbath and throughout the game when sensational report was made. Mir Higgins invariably cautioned the audience before making the report to make no noise.
 The operator at the outset of the game read an opinion from his attorney to the effect that some techpicality might arise from the use of the blackboard and the placards on which the names of the play
 
 matinee was accordingly done away with and the audience was required to keep the plays in their minds as they were called off
 Throughout the afternoon, Patrolmen J. l.. Jackson, and Lon Taylor were in the room. while special officer w. F. Payne was stationed in the saloon to see that nothoing spirituous was sold from the bar Lemonade, soda water etc were sold openly.
 At the beginning of the ninth inning. special officer E. w. Jackson entered the room and handed over a warrant to Patrolman J. l.. Jackson. He walked up to the platform occupied by the oper- ator and informed him of his arrest. Mir. Higgins continued to call plays but af- ter a second warning from Jackson readily accompanied him to the police station.
 Pandemonim reigned in the room There were severa: telegraph operators, who from their seats called out plays to the audience. This was finanily in- terrupted by call from New Orleans to query MT. Higgins, which on being un- answered. stopped the report of the game.
 At the police station bonds were read fly made by Isidore Celiner, Philip Baum, and John W. Tullis Jr. The cases will probably be tried today before Recorder Arlington.
 The Section of the city Code under which the men were arrested is 1134 which privides that any one convicted of en- gazing in any game, sport, or public ex- hibition on Sunday shall be fined not less than $1 nor more than $100. The warrants were sworn out by Special Officer Jackson.

Ancient time-keeping has received new light from two remarkable stones lately unearthed by the German ex- plorers on the site of the old Ionic port of Miletus. These stones are the re- mains of calendars, of which one Is shown to date from 109 A. D. The year was divided into twelve zodiacal signs, and against each month the mo- ton of the remaining signs was given with note predicting the weather. On the left side were thirty holes, a wood- en peg being moved forward one hole each day. thus giving the astronomical date. This new find has made clear the meaning of parapegma, or peg calendar, name by which other stones have been rather mysteriously known.
 To prove that a mans voice does not sound the same to himself as to oth- CTS, pr. Saloy causes several persons to speak into phonograph, and after n few days reproduces the sentences. Each person recognizes the voices of his friends but not his own. Prof. Ex- ner explains that passage through solids augments the intensity of sound and modifies it's quality, and the sound of ones own voice is given different timbre by reaching the ear through the air and the bones of the face in- stead of through the air alone.
