mangled remains of Vilardo. She re-
fused to look at the body, threw nerseil
on the floor, and became hysterlcdi.

A clergyman in soliciting money for
foreign missions once urged that it was
really for use among our closest neigh
bOrs, on the plea that our ownership of
the land which we occupy extends half
way through the earth. The United
States supreme court evidently takes a
somewhat similar view regarding the
extent of our property in the other di-
rection, for it has granted a verdict Of
$4,000 for New York man against a
railroad company which he sued for
loss of light and air. The court in
handing down this decision, decided
that the man possessed not only the
ground on which he lived but all the
air above it from the earth to the sky.
If both of these views are sound, the
owner of a building lot possesses a
larger part of creation than be usually

The Baseball Season Opens.

The big leagues opened the baseball
season. Yesterday, ana from now on the
rooters and cranks who constitute an
Overwhelming majority Of the male ele-
ment in the population of the United
States will glory in the fascination of
following our great national game.
Only a few relatively speaking, are able
to watch the big league games, but
every body will follow their battles in
the newspapers. The telephone bell
will ring more necessarily than ever
during the evening hours at the news
paper offices, and the young man who
patiently answers it knows when he
takes down the receiver what question
is most likely to be asked. When the
newspapers are read in the morning,
the page containing the baseball scores
will be turned to more eagerly than
those which contain news of the war in
the far East, the reports of the stock
market or the chronicles of local hap
penings. For the next five or six
months baseball will be one of the
things uppermost in the masculine
mind throughout the country.
Baseball is clean and wholesome
sport and we'll deserves the place which
it has won in the hearts OF our people.
The growth of the game has been
steady since its origin, close to half
century ago, until now thousands upon
thousands of mines meet upon the
diamond throughout the summer
months to the entertainment of millions
OF enthusiastic spectators. Though
there are only two so called big leagues
there are scores of smaller ones which
play throughout the summer, not 10
mention the numberless mines repre-
senting the schools and colleges, whose
games during the spring and early
summer arouse perhaps keener inter-
est than any other bra lch of baseball.
Professional baseball is all right, of
course, presenting players of the great
est skill, but nothing, unless it is
football game in the fall, can arouse the
enthusiasm of close game between
two we'll matched college teams in
which the players are straining every
nerve to win glory for their Alma
Mater.
The Maine college season will open,
next week. and little later. after a few
preliminary games have been played.
the four teams will meet in what
promises to be an unusually close and
interesting struggle. Although no
league exists, still each has games ar
ranged with all the others and at the
end of the season the State college
championship, so-called, will be figured
ont as usual Then there are many
school teams in which local interest is
nearly as high as in the college games.
Locally. we have hopes of having an
other Trolley league such as the one
which proved such a success during the
latter part of last summer 1t is sim
cerely hoped that this league can be
organized again and furnish the people
of this section with AS good sport as
last year. From now until October.
diamonds are trumps and we are all
participants in the national game.

The world will watch Chicago's ex-
pertinent in the attempt at municipal
ownership of street railways. AT the
recent election both candidates were
pledged to such ownership. the main
difference being that the Democratic
diate' municipal ownership. while the
Republican candidate was less radical
and was honest enough to admit that
while such ownership was desirable it
could only be brought about with con-
siderable delay and difficulty. Nobody
expects Mayor Dunno to make good
his promise of %immediate" ownership,
and yet it is doubtless on the belief in
that promise that he was elected by so
large 4 majority. The Chicago people
want the street railway system under
municipal control. just as the water
works and lighting system of the city
is under municipal control AS to the
success of this earlier experiment in
Chicago we quote the following from a
paper in that city: Chicago has sue
ceeded in the operation of her water
works system. in paying some s3S,OOO,-
900 for the equipment of that plant,
has loaned $4,000. 900 from that depart
ment to the sewer system, is today
giving the cheapest water of probably
any city in America. and has a cash
surplus of nearly 100000. She has
SO managed her electric light plant
l''ssts sne has reduced the cost of arc
lamps from sl25. charged by private
companies to the city when she frs,
constructed the plant. to about s54 70,
arc lamps per annum."
