but the game could not be saved. A
bad inning with Eckstone, finished out
by Saey. gave the Riversides FIVE scores
and while the Islanders tried again
and again 10 get something started
there was nothing doing. and the toll
ing of the bell at the close of the ninth
inning found nothing chalked up that
looked anything like run.
All Their Own Way.
Batting by Davenport and poor pitch
ing and some dumb playing on the part
of the Islanders contributed to the runs
that were piled up by the aggregation
that camps across the creek. Why, If
Mike Jacobs had been with them he
could have stolen bases yesterday. In
the third inning after Alperman had
sent out his twO-bagger. Saey was put
in to finish out for Eckstone. The
first thing he did was to give Webster
a pass and the second thing was to
stand with the ball i'm his hand and let
him go down to second.

There is another kick on NIiIan's
work and strange to say it appears in
a Bloomington paper. He is said to
have given Springfield yesterdays

worst of it he evidently did it to
square himself. and did it deliberately.
Once more the baseball management
was induced to listen 10 the clamor and
once more the clamOrers got what they
wanted. This time ii was pitchers.
The management went east. west

before and said that il was the slump

slide from first place. and he was I'M

there probably will be. but 1t is the

that wins the most games. Baseball

that clamor is more often in error than

The Russian Warshlps.
New York TrIbune.l

Bitter regret must be felt in Russia
that her navy at Port Arthur was not
in the last desperate crisis more heroical-
ly directed. Under the lead of the lament
ed Makaroff we can imagine what it
would have done. Instead of pershing
in port at the hands of its own men, It
would have put furiously to sea, with every
gun blazing, as did Cervera's devoted
squadron at Santiago. In such a desperate
essay some vessels might have made their
way to safety in a neutral port Barring
that, they might have destroyed at least
one or two Japanese ships. But IL that,
too, was denied them, they would, at any
rate, have gone down in deep water and
have been lost forever. Instead, they re-
manned in port and were set afire and
scuttled by their own crews.
What is the result? Current dispatches
tell. The Japanese are raising and re-
pairing them and making them as good
as new and adding them to their own
navy. Already they have thus more than
made good all the losses OF the war TO
the japanese navy, and the outlook is that
they will in the same manner make such
further additions to their navy as will in
crease Its strength to so per cent more
than it was at the beginning OF the war
Thus the Russian navy, while suffering
practically total loss, not only failed to
inflict any net loss whatsoever upon its
adversary, but actually added largely to
its force. I
1t would not be easy to find a parallel
to that in the history of war. None was
afforded by our war with Spain, because
while we lost no ships and gained some,
there was simply an Unreasonable dis
parity in strength between the two navies,
which did not exist between the fleets of
Russia and Japan, and the Spanish ships
of chief value were lost TO us at Santiago
through Admiral Cervera's possession and
exercise OF precisely the qualities which
were lacking at Port Arthur. The Incl
dent is another striking confirmation Of
Farragut's principle-that attack is the
best defence. Had the Port Arthur ships
gone boldly to the attack they would
probably have persisted, but they would
not have graced a Japanese triumph nor
have been added to the efficient strength
of the Japanese fleet.

Railroad Accidents.

The number of people killed each year
in railroad accidents or by railroad trains
continues to occasion comment abroad,
where the public is more carefully guard
ed in such respects. Disastrous wrecks
in the United States in the last two or
three years have served to start an agita-
ton for the installation of block signals
and other safety devices and a more con-
sentative system of running trains. The
technical railway journals have pointed
out in recent cases where loss of life might
have been averted had certain simple
precautions or appliances, perfectly we'll
known to every railroad man, been en-
ployed.
An account is kept by the government
of all the railroad accidents in the United
States, and the number of persons killed
and injured by trains The figures for the
first three months of the present year
show that 2S passengers and 204 employees
were killed and 1861 passengers and 2062
employees injured in train accidents, max
ing a total of 232 killed and 3713 injured.
Other accidents to passengers and en-
ployes, not the result of collisions or
derailments, bring the casualties up to
1896 (909 killed and 1887 injured.)
This is a decrease of AZ deaths compared
with the last quarter of 1904.
The total number of collisions was 1887
and the derailments 1921. OF these 2S4
collisions and III derailments affected
passenger trains. The damage to cars,
engines and roadway from these acct
dents amounted to $2,449,24S. The total
number of railway employees killed in
coupling and uncoupling cars during the
first three months of the year was 81,
slight decrease over the preceding quarter,
in spite of the extending use of automatic
couplers.

WIRELESS TELEeRAPHY.
Hearing Being Held Before Judge Wheel
er In United States Circuit Court
100000 Expended.

Evidence of the close relationship of
church and state is seen in the holding
OF session of the United States Circuit
court this week in the vestry of the Con-
gregational church. The session began
Wednesday morning and is now in prog
ress. The title of the case is the Ma
tional Electric Signaling Co. VS.. the De-
Forest Wireless Telegraph Co. ct. ais,
and the apparatus on exhibition includes
wireless telegraph sending and receiving
stations, by means of which messages
may be sent from one room to another,
also large number of charts and draw
ings.
The complainant company is organ
lied under the laws of New Jersey and
operates inventions patented by r. A.
Fessenden, Of Washington, d. C. The
defendant is Incorporated under the laws
of Maine and is a rival wireless telegraph
company, operating patents of Lee De-
Forest The suit is based on an alleged
infringement of the Fessenden patent re-
ceiver. The Fessenden receiver is sim
pie, one of the essential features being a
tiny platinum wire 40 millionths Of an
inch in diameter, dipping in diluted nitric
acid 1t is extremely sensitive, yet not
liable to be affected by shocks or atmos-
pheric disturbances. with 1t the navy
has sent messages for distances of 1000
miles. It Is alleged that DeForest tested
one of the Fessenden receivers and after
wards brought it out as one of his in
ventions. Within a month from that
time the Fessenden company, in January
1904, brought a petition before Judge
Lacombe of New York for an injunction
restraining the DeForest company from
using the alleged infringement, but Judge
Lacombe denied the petition with the
statement that the questions raised
should be left for n final hearing.
The taking of testimony was nearly
completed when a new defense was in
jected into the case, a Mr.. Vreeland, for
merly employed by Mr.. Fessenden, set
ting up claim that the invention was
his. Testimony was taken as rapidly as
possible, and when the case came before
Judge Wheeler the testimony and ex-
hibits Of each party comprised some 5000
printed pages. Up to the present time
about 100000 has been spent in prose-
cutting the case. The attorneys for the
complainant are William II. Kenyon, G.
c. Dean and William F. Kissing, and for
the defendant Philip Farnsworth and
Richard N. Dyer. Mr.. Fessenden, in
ventor Of the Fessenden receiver, also is
present,

THE NoRTHFIELD SPIRIT.

visitor from New York city, stopping
at 1.-THE Northfeld," was displeased with
the way in which one of the young men at
the hotel had served him, and broke out
into impatient censure. The young man
apologized, saying he intended to do as
requested. At this the guest graciously
surrendered-he was really a good man,
but had spoken on impulse-begged the
young mans pardon, and said: 1T is
hard to live up to the Mortified spirit all
the time, even when here"
What is the Mortified spirit? 1t is the
purpose, very practical and earnest, to
bring in the kingdom of God on earth.
The Bible is the handbook of ethics in that
kingdom. To know 1t better and to live ii
out with Jesus Christ as the unmistakable
pattern and object lesson-just this is the
Mortified spirit There is nothing unreal
sweet gracious, practical, heavenly.
There is no can't, not a vistage of 1t, at
Mortified. There is no pressure brought
TO bear upon any one, nor any infringe
ment of personal liberty. Every one eX-
ercises freedom in Jesus Christ. and as
freely grants it to others. Those who
desire to attend the conferences do so, and
those who do not are not made to feel that
they are neglecting any privileges or doing
anything which they ought not to do. 1t
is often just as religious-and sometimes
more Soto stay away from a religious
service as to attend. William Moody, on
Sunday, in directing the young women then
in attendance upon the young women's
conference, advised them to devote the
entire afternoon to rest and meditation,
saying that it often proved harmful to
attend all the meetings.
What is the Mortified spirit? 1t is to
do as Jesus would do; and II Mr.. Sheldon
could spend a summer there, he would
surely revise his notable book, What
Would Jesus Do?" and be able to bring
it into closer touch with human life and
its pressing obligations.
