George Browne played beautiful game
yesterday. but he rnarred It somewhat
when he walked of first in the third in
ming after making nice single, and was
caught asleep. George said last evening
that he was sure there were three outs,
and turned toward right field in disgust
when he saw Street declared out by um-
s,ire Evans at the plate. They don't
catch the old boy asleep very often.

there should be vacancies at West

the gift that repels young men of the
stud from which generals are made.
Nomination for the cadetship rests

ST. pArRuck.s DAY.

Wherever the sun shines and grass grows there are Irishmen and wherev- CT there are sons of Ireland honor to- day will be paid to St. Patrick. patron saint of Ireland and who was the great est missionary the world has ever known. It is said of him that he found Ireland without a Christian and left it without heather.
 n sacred and profane history there is no record of any missionary. whose work was so fruitful as that of St. churches and baptized with his own hand 12.o00 people. But more than that he linked Ireland to his church and today. nearly sixteen centuries since he lived and did his work. Ire- land is as faithful to the church of St. Patrick as it was when he died. It was a wonderful life work for one man. This one missionary not only converted Ireland but he made history by his life and much of it long after his life had ended.
 Historians have preserved enough of his history, for his methods. his char acteristics and the mdn events of his life to be known with definiteness, but the Irish people. with their ancient love of poetry and romance have woven countless romances and traditions about the strong and mighty bishop. who conquered Ireland for his church and his faith. The traditions someh ow, are more firmly established in the mind of posterity than true history and the name and fame of St. Patrick is more closely interwoven with such deeds as the banishing of all the snakes than the wonderful results of his preaching g and his teaching.
 St. Patrick went to Ireland in 432. He had previously been sold in slavery in that country; he knew the people from this slavery. their language and their customs. Prepared for the min istry on the continent, after his escape from slavery he more than justified the wisdom of Pope Celestine, who selected him notwithstanding his youth for the important mission to Ireland.
 St. Patrick, in beginning his mission work addressed himself first to the rude Chiefs and having converted them sought successfully to instill the spirit of clanship. The sons of Ireland may we'll regard his memory with honor He was a large figure in the worlds his tory.

A GLIMPSE OF LIGHT.

All things considered. the Democrats made substantial progress in their con-
 test with the Republicans in the House of Representatives at Washing ton last Monday. It is true that the resolutions adopted by the Democratic caucus were defeated by the votes of the Republicans, and twenty three Democrats who supported Fitzgeralds (Democrat) amendment This. howev- er is an improvement on the old order. The substantial thing provided for in MT. Clarks resolution was the enlarge ment of the committee on rules mem- bership to fifteen, and the election of the committee by the House. instead of appointment by the Speaker. That committee. however. was to report
 changes in the rules to the December session and practically left present rules in operation, during this session, when the tariff is to be considered It would have been better for the Demo- crats, however, to have stood together and not divided on the very thresh- hold of the great struggle before them and we regret that Mir Fitzgerald did not bide his time. allow Mir Clark caucus resolution to go through and wait for a more suitable opportunity to suggest his changes. The division in the Democratic ranks developed bad feeling and demonstrated very forcibly that there is wide difference between John Sharp Williamss diplomacy and Champ Clarks rudeness. The Demo- crats and the "insurgent" Republicans are seeking to overthrow one man pow CT, as now lodged in the Speakers hands and It is not very reassuring to have the Democratic minority leader shout out to a member of his own par ty 'I want none of your slack jaw" That may do for a Missouri cornfield plantation, but hardly for the floor of the great American House of Represen- tatives.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH IT, 1909.

The Birmingham News on Monday celebrated its twenty-first birthday with an excellent special edition. The advertising patronage was splendid and 1t might be judged from the ap- pearance of the special edition that the business depression which followed the panic in industrial centers had vanish sd. The reading matter was excellent and to Alabamians living out of Birm- ingham, not the least interesting fea- ture of the paper were the several ar ticles and illustrations which showed Birmingham in it's earliest days. The News has kept pace with the growth of Birmingham and in its twenty-one years of existence it has done as well at least as the city in that length of time. And this rate of growth ought to satisfy any newspaper. The big edition is we'll worthy of preservation for future reference,

Southern Republicans.

New York Tribune.
 i The new president will try to make federal appointments in the Democratic states of the South as representatives in character as appointments made in Republican states by Democratic ad- ministrat tion would do.
 To do this 1t will not be necessary to abandon the idea of party government. In many Southern states-Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma, for instance-there is an efficient Republican organization able to supply men of standing to i'll the federal offices. In some of the Gulf states there are also many representa- tive Republicans But the Republican organizations in states like South Caro- lima, Mississippi and Louisiana are lttle more than federal patronage clubs. They perform no normal party functions and are merely burden on the. national party, which would be strengthened by getting rid of them. In those three states, and in lesser degree in Florida. Georgia, Alabama and Texas. the application of the party test in making appointments should be waived whenever 1t Is necessary to se- cure an oficeholder acceptable to his own community and capable of reflect ing credit on the administration under which he serves.

RAG TIMES END.

Rag time is passing, says John Phil ip -Sousa. the band leader, and Sousa ought to know. He has played his share of rag time in his day.
 But for a whole season his band has played no rag time piece. because. he says, the public no longer wants it. If 1t be true, as Sousa says, that the fu- neral of rag time has been ordered and directed, one of the most remarkable crazes in modern history has ended. As- suredly this will be good news to the teachers of music. The first business of the music teachers has been to in- still horror of rag time in the minds of their pupils. Rag time was pre- sented as a musical hybrid, worthy only of contempt and to be avoided, as an influence corrupting and debasing to refined art.
 And yet no matter how jealous teachers might be they have never yet been fully successful in making rag time a thing abhorred to all pupils There never was yet teacher without pupils who fell from grace and slipped away to play the fascinating rag time instead of praeticing on the Spring Song.
 The popularity of this hybrid music is hardly understandable, even though its fascinating swing and movement be appreciated at its fullest. Over the loud protest of the united musicians of the country rag time was not only played, but it swept the country as no other musical craze ever did. Wherev- CT cottage organ, an installment pi- ano or a raucous graph ophone has ap- peared there too rag time has appear ed.
 And with all due regard to the opin- ion of an expert like MT. Sousa it is barely possible that rag time is not as dead as he thinks 1t Is.

Roman waterworks sun in Use.

Budapest Correspondence The Lancet.
 The town committee of Szamosvar has decided to utilize the remains of the thousand year old water mains and reservoirs which have remained since the Roman occupation The water mains were discovered by Professor Ornstein, an archaeologist, who states that the great reservoir and the exten- sive canals served as the water supply of a large late Roman military camp Congricastrum. The great reservoir lies on high hill near the town. The dirt which has collected in the basin and mains during many centuries has been removed, and now it is almost in- credible that they should be a thous- and years old. The medical officers of the town has declared the water basin and the mains to be fit for use.

ANOTHER ENTHusIAsr.

Count Zepelin Is somewhat of an en- thusiast on the subject of flying ma chimes He has encountered obstacles. just as have all others who have de- voted much time and attention to the matter, but he doesn't allow himself to become discouraged. Like the wrights and others he is hopeful of complete success at some time in the not dis tant future. In fact, there is report going about to the effect that he is contemplating an attempt to fly across the Atlantic ocean, but that may be a mere supposition.
 This generation. perhaps" says The Brooklyn Eagle, will witness the suc- cessful passage of the Atlantic by air ships. Yet much must be accomplish ed first. The limitations of the aeroplane in regard to the carriage of fuel make very long flights by that metho impos- sible. Remarkable results. so far as the covering of distance is concerned. have been achieved already by Count Zeppelin, and demonstrations still more encouraging are expected from his lat est model But some means must be found to preserve the still uncertain buoyancy of the dirigible balloon and some provision made for the trans portation of supplies and the housing of tha crew before an ocean tourney can be undertaken with any assurance of safety or hope of success. When European aeronauts have successfully steered across the Baltic, the English ] Channel, the North Sea and the Medi- | terranean 1t will be time enough to talk about the passage of the Atlantic r The Eagle may be overly optimistic in intimating that the present genera ton may see successful flights across much yet to be accomplished before the oceans will be traversed by flying machines. That paper points out some of the main obstacles in the way of successful flight. and whether they will ever be overcome is for the future to decide. AS we have more than once remarked, it Is never safe to say that anything is absolutely impossible. so 1t may come about that people now liv- ing will see airships crossing the ocean safely.
