Good for Local Sport.

Lovers of sport in Washington will
note with satisfaction that the local
professional ball team is to be manag-
ed by local owners for the local adj
vantage. Washington has been the
flag end of the league SO long that it
seems to belong there The real rea-
son OF its low standing, however, has
been that the team was managed
badly, for the money there was in it,
and it was not necessary to have a
winning team in order to make
money.
Washington offers sincere managers
q peculiar reward. Most Of it's citi-
zens are able to patronize the team
if they want to, and most of them
would want to If the home nine had
fair chance to win. Such patronage
as the city has extended the teams
of earlier years has been due to abb
stract interest in the sport. With
that support as nucleus a good team
could obtain as large a following in
Washington as in any other city in
either league. with the single excep-
ton OF New York.
The personnel of the new manage
ment recommends it to the whole city.
II will have the confidence of local
patrons. And it is sincerely to be
hoped, as much for the sake Of the
business men who are now interested
in the team as for the sake of the
sport locally, that the team will be
developed until it wins games, and
will cease to be nursery for the bene-
fiji of other cities.

LIES TRAGEDIES.

Thou art lot to be pitied, who has
known
The threat of midnight when the fore
lands moan
And ali the winds are out;
Dread and despair and anguish, the
great things
That sit like crowns upon the brows of
kings
Or that queens weep about
If by these only thou has been accused,
Grieve not too much; for these are not
the worst.
1t is the slow and softly dropping tears
That bring the burrows to mans face;
the years,
Falling and faIrn in vain.
That turn the gold to gray upon his
head;
And the dull days to disappointment
And pain that follows pain
That make life bitter in the mouth, and
strew
The dead with roses. but the quick
with yew.
Better wide and windy world. and
scope
For rise and downfall of a mighty hope,
Than many little Ills;
Better the sudden horror. the swift
wrong,
Than doubts and cares that die not,
and the long
Monotony that kills;
The empty dawns, pale stars. and mar
row skies,
Mean hopes, mean fears. mean sor-
rows, and mean signs.

Really an AiTship.

Until now the leading feature of
the airshiD has been its consistent
refusal to fly. The theory of it was
excellent. The plans Of the inventor
set forth that the machine could not
help flying when loosed, and the pub
lie was led 10 imagine it as Juggling
at its leash in wild rush to cleave
the azure. When the leash was sever
ed, in the presence of straining eye
and bated breath, the machine has re-
fused TO play. If pushed from an ele-
walton it has gone down like shot,
or if resting at a level it has con-
tinued to rest there. The inventor
was able in each instance to explain
that there was nothing wrong, and,
while explaining, the junkman has Sc
cured the collapsed mechanism for a
trifie.
At last Californian airship seems
to have violated all precedent 1t

swered to the rudder as easily as a

stayed aloft in 1t as long as he pleased,
and moved about as he desired, paying
no attention to winds. Here was a
triumph, sure enough. The actual
value Of it remains to be determined.
Possibly, the airship demonstrated
the working OF principle that may
be applied iii some practical way. 1t
has not been SO applied yet. That a
huge bulk can be adopted to the car
riage of an individual through the
air is small matter. There is in

STATEMENT CAUSED
INDIGNANT CRITICISM
mcfarland Denies Fault in Relation
to Failure of Teachers Pay
Increase.

The statement published in q local
paper yesterday morning TO the effect
that the District Commissioners had
defeated the movement for an increase
in the salaries OF public school teachers
by failing to make the necessary recon-
mendations in their estimates to Con-
gross has aroused indignant criticism at
the District building.
The paragraph TO which exception IS
taken by those cognizant OF the facts in
the case is as follows:
Had the Commissioners of the Dis
trict included the increase in their rec
ommendasions-and they agreed that IT
is wise ana just-and had the House
Committee of the District included the
increase in its bul-and the committee
favors the increase-the teachers today
would be rejoicing in the granting of
.heir prayer
When his attention was called TO the
statement Commissioner Macfarland to-
day said:
Il am astonished that ANYBODY should
make such q statement. The fact Is
that the Commissioners every year since
I have been a Commissioner, and in spe-
cial care of the public school interests.

Lost-One Capitalist.

A man out West has been accused
of conducting lottery, and is about
to be placed or trial. For some rea-
son he desires to have John D. Rookie
Teller as witness, and says he will
give a liberal reward for informa-
ton as to the whereabouts of that
distinguished philanthropist. People
with subpoenas have searched in vain
for Mr.. Rockefeller The fact that
he can have 5000 for his expenses to
Chicago fails to tempt him from his
retreat
To give Mr.. Rockefeller advice on
subject relating to finance would,
of course, be presumption. He is I'M
derstood to know good thing when
he sees it, and instead OF waiting for
il to hunt him up, to have habit of
going out TO meet it. Yet, here seems
to be good thing. Simply by reveal
ing himself Mr. Rockefeller can get
the reward and the expense money
His influence with the railroads is
such that he would not have to pay
fare. He would be clear ahead of the
game.
AS for the embarrassment of going
on the stand, that is not to be dread
ed. He has beautifully trained
memory that can forget with the
most wonderful accuracy. Then with
all the money in his pocket he could

Morbid Exhibits.

At a murder trial about to occur In
Virginia the heart of the murdered
man is to be introduced so as TO show
to the jury the knife wound which
ended the beating of that organ. Re-
Gently, in New York, and later in
Massachusetts, human skeleton was
among courtroom exhibits. Nothing
was proved by the presence Of the
bones, and nothing accomplished ex-
cept the gratifying of the morbid
crowd stretching necks in the effort
to see something gruesome and re-
pellent.
Announcement that the heart OF a
citizen, once well known to the COM
munity, is to be held up to the public
gaze is sufficient to draw yawping
throng. to- give them pleasing SEN
sation of chills, the chance to shudder.
II man is killed by a knife thrust
through the heart, the doctors per-
forming the autopsy become certain of
the fact. Their evidence ought TO be
enough to convince the jury. The

Of people TO flock to the opportunity
to get shocked is one of the indica-
tons of perverted or degenerate in

against public policy.
