Our local Quixotic defender of the courts sug-
gests that it might be a good thing for some
patriotic person to secure injunction to pre-
vent the Democratic convention at Denver from
adopting an anti-injunction plank in its platform.
Why not go further? One of the gang judges in
Philadelphia for instance might be secured to
issue an Injunction to prevent the nomination of
Bryan on the ground that his nomination would
tend to disturb the public peace it certainly
will disturb the mental peace of certain persons
Then, if anyone objected to this new application
OF the Injunction principle, the objectors could be
promptly hanged for assailing the integrity Of the
judiciary. There are multtudinous possibilities
in the Injunction business.

The announcement that came from

last evening, that John Mitchell would
not be q candidate Tor governor OF
Illinois on the Democratic ticket, or
consider a vice-presidential nomina-
tion. on account of ill-health, comes as
a double disappointment to his multi
tude Of friends throughout the United
States. It is a disappointment to learn
that Mr.. Mitchell has not recovered
from his operations and serious illness

for. and disappointment that he is COM
PEELED to thrust aside political oppor-
tunities within his grasp, that If fol-

attained at his age. and which have
been sought unavailingly by other men

only fully qualified for either of the
honors that his friends and admirers
sought to place upon him, but would
undoubtedly have renedred distinguish

either as governor or vice-president.
He would unouestionahlv have made

A "Grand Old Man" of Baseball.
New York Press
In the life of an athlete a year is
for more than twelve months. Usually
he reaches his prime long before 30,
while at 40. with rare exceptions as to
classes of competition and fewer still
as to individuals. the champion falls
into the discard.
Successfully Jockeys are mostly In
their teens--those that iourished ten
years ago are touts or trainers to-day.
Soon after graduation the varsity oars
men and football players, though yet
unripened youth, are has-beens. Every
year brings a new champion sprirter
or a jumper. who. in turn. gives way
10 fresh youth that will not be denied.
In the great field of American athletes
that have gone to London for the
Olympic games there IS none whose
prowess has not been developed within
a few years Most Of them are bows.

IN some Rentler sports youth mas less
advantage. Walter ]. Travis. several
times the American amateur champion,
did not take up the game until late in
life. but he proved that golf is largely
a mental contest From Jerome D
Travers. champion at nineteen. to the
patriarchal Tom Morris the range OF
age among skilled golfers is wider than
in anv other field sport.
II takes more years to acquire pro-
fciency in baseball than any of the
more stenuous games. but even on the
diamond such longevity as Captain
Anson's is exceptional. The case OF
Denton Young. the Boston player who

the other side got neither a run nor a
hit while he lined the ball out thrice
himself for as many bases. is a unique
instance of athletic resurrection. Al
though Bufhnton was an effective
pitcher at an advanced age, the feat
Of ICY" Young in his forty-irst year

work on the big cradle on which yes
sells will rest when drawn from the
water is in progress. 1t is thought that
the railway will be ready for service this
fall. With the exception of the one at
the Alexandria shipyard 1t will be the
largest one IN this section Of the coun-
try and will be strong enough to hold any
tugboat in service or the Potomac, and
any bay and river schooner that traces
here. The cradle will be raised and
lowered into the water by power and
the methods of handling 1t will be more
modern than is in use at any OF the ship
yards in this section.
The railway was projected by Capt
Dean several years ago and the prelimi-
nary work on 1t was done over two years
ago, but 1t was only about two months
ago that the actual construction was
started. Vessels that during the busy sea-
son at the shipyards have been forced to
go elsewhere to be hauled out will now
be able to haul here for repairs and this
will be a great convenience:

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

Notwithstanding the cool weather of
the past week, the demand for water
melons continues fairly good. while the
supply coming to this city aboard vessels
from points on the lower Potomac and on
Chesapeake bay Is more than sufficient to
meet this demand. Hardly day passes
but that two or three vessels with melons
come into port and tie up with the fleet
at the 18th street wharf. This morning
about twenty vessels with the fruit
aboard were lying at the wharf market
and the melons were selling at prices
ranging from 81 to $16 per hundred. With
warm weather, 1t Is stated, watermelons
will be on sale here for the next two or
three weeks in large quantities and the
supply will then begin to decrease. but
vessels with them aboard will continue to
arrive here until frost comes.
The melon season this year has been a
good one. The receipts have been heavy
and prices have ranged below the average
of past years, while the quality OF the
melons have never been better. There
has been a steady demand for the fruit
that enabled the dealers to make large
sales to their profit and to that Of the
shippers Of the melons.
The foundations for the new marine
railway which is In progress of con-
struction at Deans boatyard near Alex
andria are now about completed and the
