You're in a bad way and you're sorry,

You know what's curled you up, and
you're frightened out of a years

MORAL SUAsION AS AN ANTIDoTE
FOR MURDER

According to the census statistics
murders i'm the United States have
more than quadrupled during the
past few years.
Verify, laws against homicide do
not appear to be enforced. Would
it not be better to remove these de
m0raliZing laws prohibiting murder
laws which manifestly cannot be
enforced, and which only provoke
corruption and hypocrisy? 1t is use
less to attempt this absurd interior
ence with the personal liberty of the
people to murder each other, as these
uncanny statistics show. Better
enact reasonable laws restricting the
vice of assassination with a high
license fee for the school fund. Oh
course it would be better if the peO'
pie would not murder each other,
but people in all countries have al
ways murdered each other and al
ways will. 1t is therefore best to
regulate the vice and minimize the
evils thereof by vigorous restric-
tive law in which the murders viii
all be committed by the best class OF
people and at reasonable hours. Nc
murders should be allowed on Sun
days or after eleven O'Clock at night
Murders behind screened Windows
should not be allowed. The murder
of minors and lunatics should he pro

There was once a donkey that fed
in grassy meadow, wherein were
many fresh-water ponds greatly in
tested by leeches would fasten upon
him in vast numbers and greatly de-
plete the blood supply. At last the
donkey resolved to do something to
get rid of the leeches. First he
shook his long ears at them and
said it was shame. Next lie got
on the platform and brayed at them.
Then he went to the ponds and kick
ed at them, but all to no purpose; ;
he leeches stuck to him as tenacious
" as ever. At last an idea came
like sudden inspiration. II have
it" said the donkey. AS | can't
prevent the leeches from sucking my
blood, I'll regulate the business by
giving them a license to do it, on
condition that they give me back Il
small portion of the blood as a Ii
cense fee" And so he did. 1t was
brilliant idea, and eminently
worthy of an ass!

NED HANLoN BUSTED.
Brooklyn Club Cut His Salary, Which
Means His Release.

Edward Hanlon, for six years manager
of the Brooklyn National League Base
Ball Club, has practically been released
by that club Last Saturday Hanlon
went to Brooklyn to confer with the
other officials about the final details Of
the training trip to Columbus, Ga. He
was informed that if he wished to con-
tinue as manager of the team he would
have to accept cut of $4,000 in salary.
Hanlon objected and moreover, plainly
told the owners of the club his opinion
of such action on the eve of the play
ing season, when it is practically impos-
Sible for him to secure another engage
ment The outcome is that, unless an
agreement is reached between the parties
concerned. the Brooklyn club will be
without a manager during one of the
most important stages of the base ball
year.
Just before the 1899 season of the Ma
tional League opened Hanlon was trans
ferred to Brooklyn with the Baltimore
players in the famous deal which con-
solidated the clubs of the two cities.
His salary was fixed at $4,000 annually,
and so it remained until three years ago,
when the Brooklyn owners increased it
to $4,000 1t has remained at that fig
ure ever since. though Hanlon has had
many opportunities to take charge of
other National-American League clubs.
Andrew Freedman offered him S25 200
Hanlon refused
II don't want to act hastily in this
matter" said Hanlon in Baltimore last
night, but 1 feel that 1 have not been
treated with ordinary courtesy. Just as
/ am ready to start south with the team
1 am notified all at once that l am not
wanted, for that is what the radical cut
in salary means. The first notice of this
that was given me was Saturday by Eb-
belts when we talked over arrangements
for the southern trip.
This is hardly fair, for last fall 1
turned down offers from three clubs that
present salary.
Il have stuck by the Brooklyn Club
as long as 1 have because l had told
Harry VonderhorSt that l would remain
as long as he kept his interest in Brook
lyn. VonderhorSt'S stock was held by
me for money advanced some time ago
Last week he notified me that he
would redeem it. He paid me what he
owed and took his stock. 1 own about
10 per cent of the clubs stock myself
and 1 said to Vonderhorst: Harry, If
YOU are selling out, sell my stock, too.
He gave me to understand that he was
not selling out, but would put the stock
in his wife's name. 1t looks now as If
he had made some arrangement with
Ebbetts so as to GUST me.
Il am going slowly in this matter. but
/ will have a story to tell the pubic at
the proper time that viii make inter-
estng reading.
The stockholders of the club hold
meeting in New York tomorrow and l
shall be present. / don't care to say
what steps | shall take until I know
what the action of that meeting is.
