AN uNPIRE's UNIQUE RULING.

It is doubtful If ever before in a league of any importance has such a decision been rendered as that of Um- pire Stafford at Baltimore. in the Eastern League. Monday. A team had retired its opponents and begun iis turn at the bat. and then the um- pire suddenly ordered 1t back into the field to get one more man out. This happened in the third inning of the Bslt.more-Jersey City game. Hand ford vas at the bat and Bean was on first. with two out Bean attempted to steal second, and was called out by the umpire. The Orioles went 10 the bench and the Skeeters went to the field. Adkins was at the bat. when Umpire Stafford suddenly stopped proceedings and ordered the Raifimores back to their positions. Beyond the uniqueness of the incident it did not matter. ss Handford vas soon retired.

ship-sub.idy Again

The new ship subsidy bill provides
that the Postmaster General shall pay
for ocean mail service in vessels of the
second class on routes to South Amer
lea, the Philippines, Japan, China and
Australia, at the rate Of "a per out
ward mile, which is the rate now pAd
to vessels Of the first class. Thus a
steamship Of less than 5000 tons for a
voyage to Hongkong, China, would re-
celve a subsidy of $29,36O for the dis
lance from San Francisco to Hongkong
Is 7,S40 miles. 1t requires 81 days to
Hongkong, or. about so days for the
round trip, including the time occu-
pied in loading. Thus such steam
ship can make six Of such voyages and
would receive a subsidy each year OF
$176.160, which would be large inter
est on the money invested above the
profit from freight and passengers.
Why Is Uncle Sam to add to the
profits Of steamship companies which
are undoubtedly paying well or would
discontinue the business? Why do the
Republican politicians push this bill
to pay ship subsidies unless they are
directly interested by contributions
from the steamship combine for their
campaign expenses?

A Doubtful Guarantee.

The Arabs. and, indeed, all Moslems,
have the practice of reinforcing prom
ises by adding to their word Of honor
the Arabic phrase, 1nshallah-"please
God" How much meaning 1t conveys
in some lands Of the East Is told in the
pages of an Moorish Captivity"
The pious proviso is a very useful
formula to the Moors, and is frequent
used in making promises that they have
no Intention whatever Of keeping. as
they can take refuge behind the Al
mighty when they are taxed with their
breach Of faith.
There Is story told Of man who
kept shop in Gibraltar, and who
knew the ways Of the Moor. To him
one day came one of the faithful, who
was DESTROYS Of buying some cloth. On
being informed that the price was two
dollars yard, payment in sixty days,
he replied:
"All right. will take so much and
will pay you in sixty days, Inshaliah."
NO." said the vender "the price is
two dollars, payment in sixty days.
For sixty days, Inshallah, the price Is
two dollars and half"

"He's only jest thutty," said Mr..

"Thlrty years old, and you expect to

Tho Brain and the stomach.
~~~eo-"@@@oe~

The Brain and the Stomach.
There is a very intimate relation be-
tween the brain and the stomach. They
must work harmonlously together, like
capital and labor, IL the best results
of both are to be obtained. Brain ex-
haustion and continuous depressing
emotions, such as worry and anxiety,
almost always cause arrangements of
digestion, by retarding the secretion Of
the fluids upon which digestion de-
ponds. On the other hand, food in in
sufficient or excessive quantities or the
inJudicious selection of indigestible
food, Is frequently reflected upon the
brain and shows itself by slugglshness
of thought and diminution of mental
vigor. During digestion the stomach re-
qulres more blood than 1t does at other
times, and certain proportion Of this
extra supply is drawn from the brain.
If, however, the brain is forced to work
during the period of active digestion
the stomach will be deprived of a GER
tain proportion OF the blood 1t requires.
Activity Of the mind necessitates an In
creased flow Of blood to the brain, and
as the power Of thought is, to GER
tain extent, controlled by the will,
while the process of digestion is not, 1t
naturally follows that when thought
and digestion are carried on simulta-
neously the brain will always take the
blood needed by the stomach. II this
Is an habitual occurrence 1t soon leads
TO pronounced dyspepsia, and chronic
dyspepsia in Its turn, by Irritation of
the nervous system, incapacltates even
an abnormally vigorous brain from ac-
complishing its best work.

heard gasp, and then a curious muf-

and then he fed from the garden.
Rita could not have chosen better

heavy heart he saw them neatly ar.

their stir green setting.
He had just stuck the last rose into
the last hole with listless fingers, when
Rita peeped over. Her face was pale,
for her collection had just departed,
minus her best rose.
They're beauties!" she called. "You
will certainly take the prize!"
Shirley WINGED.
Not bad, are they?" he answered
carelessly. "l7have only to fill in this
form. and then they're ready to go of"
He drew out HE fountain pen with
the air of criminal about to sign his
death warrant. He felt, by winning
the prize now, he would add insult to
his irreparable injury. Then sudden
inspiration came to him. In absent
minded manner he gave the pen an
impatient shake to make 1t flow freer,
and instantly shower Of inky specks
flew over the blooms
Rita shrieked in dismay, and even
Shirley felt a pang as he drew out
three ruined roses. and threw them

Shirley carelessly drew out drip

stared in surprise. The strong solu-

streaked, It's color was undeniable.

The recent utterances Of Senator
Raynor in regard to the Presidents pol
icies are highly Important. Senator
Rayner gives the President credit for
sincerity. but regards the remedies sub
gested by him for existing abuses as
either unconstitutional or Impractical
BILE. and, therefore, utterly futile, or ut
terly vicious-futile whenever imprac-
ticable, and vicious whenever uncon-
stitutional. Like Jefferson and Madi-
son he views the powers Of the federal
government MS resulting solely from the
compact to which the States are par
ties, and as limited by the plain sense
and intention of the instrument consti-
tuting that compact. He regards those
powers as being no further valid than
they are authorized by the grants
enumerated in that compact, and de-
plores the deliberate, palpable and dan
gerous attempts on. the part Of the
President to exercise himself, and to in
duce Congress to exercise other pow
ers which are either not granted or ex-
pressly prohibited by that compact. He
points out instances In which the Pres
ident has manifested a disposition, If
not actual determination, to enlarge the
federal powersNby forced constructions
Of the constitutional charter which de-
fines those powers, the obvious ten
dency and inevitable result of which
would be to transform the present Re
publican system of the United States
into an absolute or, at best, mixed
monarchy.
Senator Rayner did not like certain
features of the Aldrlch currency bill,
and objected especially to the comming-
ling Of the taxing power with the pow
Or to coin money and regulate its value.
II do not for moment favor the arti-
fetal method of taxation that Is to
force the currency back and contract
expansion when money is no longer
needed" said he, 81 would force con-
traction, not by taxation, but by In
creasing the reserves"
To prevent the taxing power as the
AAuAi uAi pAopoocS " NO ny hualSu-
mating 1t with distinct and wholly
different power would be an outrage.
But the President favors this uncon-
stitutional proposition.
Senator Rayner also charged the
President with having Internationally
contributed to the misfortunes that
have overtaken us;' with having terri
fled every manufacturing industry in
the land; with having Impressed the
public mind with the idea that every
man engaged in large business trans
action is a malefactor."
After enumerating several remedies
suggested by the President which he
declared to be utterly impossible Of
accomplishment by the federal govern
ment," Senator Rayner added:"I am,
as have often asserted in this cham
Der, against him whenever he proposes
to subvert the rights of the States and
invoke the federal authority" How
different are such views from the the
atrical demagogy and quackery of those
