\ MERITED REHUKE

Evidence aocumulates in New York that it is dangerous for the police to photograph a criminal before it has been made entirely plain that he is g criminal Justice Burr of Brooklyn has lrticted a sentence of thirty days in jail and fine of $25O on a police .ap- tain for refusing to obey a writ of habeas corpus which would have pro- tected Frank Jenkins from being pho tographed and measured for the rogues3 gallery after he had given bail subsequent to his indictment for for- gery in the third degree for alleged complicity in the Brooklyn bank frauds. The judge says that the p,llee captain committed wilful and delibel- ate perjury and that the right 70 pre- tection under the writ of habeas cor pus must be vindicated
 When policemen get the notion that they can do such things as they did in the case of Jenkins and do them it is high time that their attention was called to their real place in the admin istration of jpStice That this has been done in this cAe is a public benefit.

NO OCCASION TO DEooP

Though the American Eagle has lately been more or less artistically pictured in peaceful pantalettes he has no occasion to droop. With Fighting Bob sailing the Spanish and other mains, with the fighting President fighting all the evils, and with n1en1- bers of the House fighting each other, he can still take a proper pride in himself and the country above which he habitually scars and on which he occasionally perches
 The kntghtly joust in the House be7 tween John Sharp Williams and David Albaugh De Armond Is an interesting episode. It indicates that the Ananias club hasn't yet attained the popularity which its extensive and high-toned membership might be expected to give it. It also indicates that the Washing ton correspondents and Speaker and Boss Cannon didn't hit the mark when they prophesied that there would be nothing doing this session There was emphatically something doing when De Armond caused some of the rich southern blood of Williams to flow, and when Williams caused the nose of De Armond to become more richly red than it was naturally entitled to be- In 1 sporting language, both the gentlemen then acquired a "reputation,' while incidentally adding to the reputation of their beloved and admiring coun- try
 The London Spectator, which keeps a keen eye on this country, will per haps be able to see in this incident that the American spirit is still wild and free, And that effeteness hasn't yet overcome us. And although it probably wont hold the incident up as a good thing for imitation in the House ot Lords, there can be no doubt that its own wild and free spirit would be stirred if it should happen to be inl- tated in the House of Lords.

YALE BASEBALL.

Perhaps it is true that the Yale man, graduate and undergraduate, is never satisfied with even the lions share Of the athletic honors. Perhaps he is scrt Of Oliver Twist in the collegiate world, ever warning and demanding more, more" It is not enough for hin that the Football honors which, perhaps, are valued most highly. fall to Old Eli each Fall quite as regular ly as the season swings round: lie is not satiate when the blue pulls the winning oar on the Thames, and when in the minor sports, from the se1enta.y chess team to hockey and basketball, Yale men receive more victories than may be good for the fit of their hats
 The followers of Elihu are apt to re disgruntled with their baseball teams. They rush into print to speak of "Yale's recent baseball defears so strikingly at variance with her tri- umphs in football Just as every ef- fort was apparently made this year at Harvard to discover and remedy the defects in the coaching system in foot ball to which were attributed the unsat- isfactory showing of the red on the gridiron, just so the same upheaval is evident now in the Yale baseball camp
 The announcement has just been made that the usual Spring trip of the baseball team will be discontinued. The policy seems to be a-sane one. The games in the south were not with teams of such quality that they gave the men from Yale the practice look ed for. The new policy seems to be to have fewer games but to have them of a higher order game with the Carlisle Indians, which should prove interesting, has been added to the schedule
 Fully realizing that baseball is a game, where, if anywhere, nerve" counts, the confidence and self-control of the team will be developed gradual ly. Any nltd-season slump will be guarded against as best 1t can be. The cage work will not start until much later than usual With less monotony in the system of training and the good material now at hand, there seems to be no reason why Yale should not be able to turn out champion baseball team this college year as well as she has champion football team. The followers of the blue are not to be called to task for their love of victory. They have not been spoiled with too much success. With them 1t is ever May the best team win, but may the best team be Yales.'

WALK IN AND TO HEALTH.

Edward Payson Weston has pointed out that q man can live on walking and prunes, and now comes pr. Evans, health commissioner Of Chicago, as- serting that walking is almost a spe- oihc" against tuberculosis and pneu- monia. AS these diseases figure largely in the mortality at this time of year, whatever may possibly tend to limit their eneroachments is worthy of re- spectful attention Instead of breath ing in the vitiated atmosphere of a germ-laden trolley car, pr. Evans ad- vipes that everyone living within two miles Of his work should walk to and from it every day
 There are many who believe that walking in the open air has saved their more or less valuable lives, and they cannot understand how anybody should be hostile to or obvious of the pleasures and benefits of such walking Awhile ago a celebrated and pretty well preserved Englishman boasted that he never took any exercise except his senli-occasional walks up and down stairs in his own house. It takes all kinds of people to make a world, but the people who persistent i ly and habitually walk in the world seem to be the most healthy kind 1t

TALENTED, BUT NOT TAorFUL.


 The other day it was explained that while the English mean well and do well in Egypt they ase not as popular with the Egyptians as such well-mean- ing and wen-doing people ought to be- IA similar explanation is made by 3 prominent Mohammedan concerning the feeling in India towards the Eng fish. He says: Unrest exists only in Bengal and the Punjab, but dissatis- faction is universal throughout India among Mohammedans and Hindus alike. All literate classes in India feel their treatment by Anglo-1ndians to be intolerable Tn railroads, in offices, in business, in clubs and hotels, the edu- cated Indian is kept in state of con- tinual irritation by the indivility of Anglo-Indians and their contempt for all races but their own. We Indians are trained to mutual respect. We know that the training of English people is entirely different, and if any English man, like Lord Ripon or Lord Reay or Sir William Wedderburn, shows us sympathetic consideration, and does not treat our representations with contempt, we are almost ready to wor- ship him in our astonishnent But in general we are narassed by the Englishman's unconscious discourtesy or brutality of treatment, till even the most moderate of us are driven to sup port the extreme Congress men, be- cause we know they are fighting h. dias battles
 This shows again that tact may be in some ways as valuable as talent
