Base Ball English.
From the Kansas City Journal.

From the KANSAS CITY JOurndI-
The base ball writer writes for those who
understand his linguistic vagaries and revel
in the seeming confusion Of his complex
phraseology. He Is the journalistic free
lance, who denies the right Of precedent
and rides roughshod over the stickler for
literary finish. He knows his readers and
they know him. When he says Tinker led
off for the Cubs and ozoned," every legiti-
mate. thirty-third degree fan" grasps i'm
medately the graphic picture thus painted.
Let the base ball writer alone. In his very
frenzied philology he contributes a vivid
and refreshing contrast to the monotonous
news pages and the wearying precision OF
the nice, round editorial sentences. And we
who also write for living must confess to
a sneaking admiration for his boldness, his
originality and the easy familiarity Of his
style

Editorial Row On.
From the Peshtigo cwis.) Times.

The greatest surprise to girl who gets
kissed the first time is that there is no
taste to it.-Waterloo Qll.) Times
No taste to 1t? Well. by the hen feath-
ers on cupid's dart, but the Times man
must be color blind In palate! They tell
us, those who have tried It, that 1t tastes
like the double-distilled essence of honey
spread thick on a piece of pumpkin pie.
Away back in the dim and joyful years
long ago before we lost all our teeth and
girl In all the world told us with her own
eyes that 1t felt like a covey of quails fly
ing out your ears and ended up with a SEN
sation like flock of angels pouring mo-
lasses down ones back. No taste to the
first kiss! Great Scott! 1t would make a
wooden Indians hair dance and his toe
nails CULVER with ecstasy! The Times man
must be an icehouse.

Pocahontas' Dust.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

There Is no valid objection to the prompt
ers of the jamestown exposition using every
legitimate means of advertising that comes
their way; but the proposition to bring the
body Of Pocahontas from Gravesend, Eng
land, where 1t has been so long in eternal
sleep, and give 1t burial and a monument
in Virginia, raises the gorge of common
sense. There would be no sentiment In the
performance. 1t would be mere vulgar
advertisement. Probably no responsible
person has any such proceeding in mind,
and there is additional security in the prob
ability that the remains would be protected
in their present grave by good, old, hard
headed English obstinacy. There was such
a person IS Pocahontas, but nearly all the
stories about her are mythical. John Smith
got away without her assistance, and he
has a long posterity, not one of whom is
under the slightest obligation to celebrate
the Indian maiden.

A Plea,

In mentioning what we have done,
We're modest-most Of us;
Unfinished tasks that we've begun
Are far more numerous
Than tasks accomplished. With a sigh
Abandoned hopes we view.
And hope that men will judge us by
The things we meant to do.
The lofty. generous aims Of youth.
The sage maturer plan
Have not survived. Each is, in sooth,
The sordid average man.
All, good st. Peter, when you bid
My record forth to view
Consider not the things I did.
But what meant to do.

sCHlFF GETS A BOMB.
Alleged Internal Machine Regarded

NEW YORK, Aug 10 What was be-

received at the office of Kuhn. Loeb &
Co, addressed to Mr.. Jacob H. Schff,
one. of the partners of the firm, who
with several other bankers, recently
visited NJ Witte, the Russian peace
envoy, at Portsmouth, n. IL. 1t was in
the shape of wooden box about seven
inches long, an inch wide and an inch
and half in depth. The box was COW
cred with colored paper of japanese
appearance
The box was opened by one of the
clerks in the office by means of pen
knife. He found a small bottle con-
tanning some kind of powder, into the
mouth of which was stuffed some alb
sorbent cotton. Fastened to the side
of the box were two matches, the heads
of which stuck up in such way that
if the lid of the box had been slid off,
as was apparently intended, the
matches would have ignited.
The bomb" was taken as a joke in
the office of Kuhn, Loeb & Co, and the
only conjecture was as to the sender.
/. A. Heinsheimer of the firm said he
was satisfied that it was a practical
joke. Otto II. Kuhn, managing part
