reign has been without bloodshed, seeing that IL
has been marked with several minor connlctS
and with one tedious and sanguinary war. Yet
If is an impressive fact that the sovereign who
at his accession was regarded as firebrand has
consistently and consplcuously stood for peace.
and in more than one case has probably saved
Europe from a war of the first magnitude. In
deed il is to be remarked that the official heads
of the four far most powerful nations In the
world to-day are known to the whole world as
sincere. active and effective peacemakers. The
German Emperor, the King of England, the
President of the French Republic and the Presl-
dent of the United States have each OF them
won universal recognition as friends of peace.
Nor is there to-day any head of an important
state who can fairly be considered belligerent of
purpose 1t may be disappointing that two Cen
trail American republics. which only three
months ago prOfessed to have settled their diff
ferences through arbitration and to have sworn
eternal friendship, should now be involved In
devastating and wholly needless war. But what
Is that compared with the spectacle of England
and France settling all their once irritating and
omlnous disputes and uniting in a league of
peace?
On the whole then circumstances certainly
unite to invest this meeting with special and
sympathetic interest and with a large measure
of benevolent anticipation. 1t is not it's func-
tion of course to make treaties to enact laws,
or to do anything which literalsts might call
practical. 1t may not directly affect legislation
or exercise immediate influence over the follow
ing but very different meeting at The hague.
But it should and doubtless will largely affect
the public mind and conscience, which in the
last analysis Of powers are superior to all legs-
Iation and negotiation and international cOnVen-
tions. The assembly could have had no more
appropriate meeting place than New York, and
we do not know that New York could be the
scene of a conference more entitled to hopeful
and sympathetic regard.

GOOD FOR THE UMPIRE!

The baseball season in this city made on
Thursday a disgracefully bad beginning, re-
lleved with "A single bright spot Whether the
mob which invaded the playing field, detied au-
thorty and violently broke up the game was
composed of ''irrepressible fans or of riot
Ous and semi-crmna hOOligans matters little
In either It's conduct was inexcusable It
put upon New York the reproach which Is,
save perhaps one the worst In the world of
sports that of being a poor loser" 1t sug-
gested that the baseball public OF this city is
unfair and unspOrtsmanlike that it is not
willing to see its team lose a game but will
resort TO foul means to prevent that result
OF course, the conduct of Thursday was as
foolish it foul, for it could not and did
not prevent the New York team from losing
the game, but OH the contrary, made its defeat
all the more marked and discreditable When
the game was broken up by the hoodlums from
the grandstand and bleachers the score stood
to o against New York There was still
possibility of New York's winning There was
little probability of Phadelphia's scoring again.
So If the ''rOOters" had kept their porcine pro-
pensities in check apparent defeat might have
been turned into victory, and at worst the de-
feat would have been only the small one of
three runs to none BY their ruffianly conduct
they made defeat certain and they insured
the increase of the adverse score to to O.
mat result IN ltSelT was a diSgraceful and
most Improbable thing. But it was possibly
still worse in its OminOus fOreshadowing OF
what may be expected later in the season For
the last year or two there has been growing
tendency toward blackguardlsm on the local
baseball fields. In this borough last year there
were some scenes of actual mob violence of
gross description Over in Brooklyn the ball
field has for several seasons been largely
Stunned by decent women and self-respecting
men because of the torrents of filthy vocifera-
ton habitualy emitted by the occupants of
the bleaching boards At the recent rate IT
would not take many more years TO make the
game public nuisance which for decencv,s
sake would have to be suppressed.
The one bright spot in the blOtted record Of
opening day is the conduct of the umpire In
declaring the game forfeited by n penalizinV
score. In doing so he, Of course, merely obeved
the rules Of the game; but, remembering the
ruffianly temper of the Harlem mob last wear.
he also ran the risk of being sent to the hos

to credit for doing his duty In circumstances

Harvesting Potatoes.

When 1t comes to harvesting the po-
tato crop the tug of war begins. We
have found. taking all things into con-
sideration, that there Is about as much
satisfaction ia digging them with a
common thing spade as in blowing
them out. BY the former method you
know you have your potatoes out
when you have gone over the piece.
In the latter case. no matter how
many times you harrow and pick over

Though the peculiar nomenclature
Whistler adopted for the output Of his

ed, mainly as an advertisement to at
tract the custom Of the hunter after art
novelties and art bargains even as bis
wand and fat brimmcd hat were as
sumed to mark him out to ''the man Ia
the street." there is no little to be said
in favor Of such nomenclature by those
who recognize the sisterhood Of the
various fine arts. Whistlers early days
were passed in an atmosphere Of music,
and, apart from the masterfuI craving
OF cratic genius for novelty and his
appreciation on reaching manhood and
looking forth on the world Of the value
Of new processes in systematic self adj
vertising. it was therefore not unnatu-
raj that he should use musical terrni-
nology in giving titles to the output Of
his work in graphic art. Why should
he not speak Of that work as sym
phonies or harmonles in white, in
green, IN blue, in gray or what not?
Why should the word arrangement
be confined to musical notesf Is not
