LORD BISHOP OF SALISBURY

Among the distinguished visitors
to the General Convention of the
Episcopal Church, which opened In
Cincinnati yesterday, is the RI Rev.
John Wordsworth, Lord Bishop of
Salisbury, son OF the famous Bishop
Wordsworth OF Lincoln and grand
nephew Of the poet William Words
worth. 1t is not a case of like father
like son, for the present bishop is
more famous than his distinguished
father as scholar. He is regarded
as the very first latinist in Europe. 1t
was he, together with the late Arch
bishop Temple, who replied in Latin
to the encyclical OF Pope Leo XIII on
the validity OF the Angelica orders.
The Bishop of Salisbury is also the
greatest authority in the English
Church on ecclesiastical history. He
was the chairman of committee OF
five English Bishops appointed to in
vestigate the historic use and meaning
Of ecclesiastical investments. He is a
high churchman and his episcopal pal

KILLING THE UMPIRE.
II Is an Essential Part of the Gres,
Game of Baseball.

NSHio OF DdSepdI.
According TO bleacher law, there are
three particularly justifabIe motives
for doing away with umpires. An
umpire may bc killed-first. if he sees
tit to adhere to the rules and make a
decision against the home team at q
close point in the game; second an
umpire may be killed if he sends d
member of the home team to the bench
when the player in question has done
absolutely nothing but call the umpire
names and attempt to bite his ear off
ian umpire has no business TO be
touchy) third (and this is a perfect
defense against the charge Of murder),
an umpire may be killed II he calls
any batter on the home team out on
strikes when the player has not even
struck at the balls pitched. That the
balls go straight over the plate has
nothing to do with the case.
There Is ample proof at hand to
show that killing the umpire is dis
tinctively American sport. Other coun-
tries have tried baseball. but they have
not tried killing the umpire. That Is
probably the reason why they have
not waxed enthusiastic over baseball,
for baseball without umpire killing Is
like football without girls In the grand
stand. 1t simply can't be done. That
foreign countries know nothing about
bur king OF outdoor sports was indi-
Gated forcibly when I'm the fall OF 1909
the Detroit team made trip to Cuba
under the management of Outfieldcr
Mcintyre In the entire series Of
Twelve games with the Havana and
Almendares mines not one single OBJ
lection was made by either the Cuban
players or the silent Cuban spectators
to decision Of the umplres. The
Americans did not know what to think
Of it--until they counted up the gate
receipts at the end of the series. Then
they realized that I'm their own country
It is the delight I'm killing the umpire
rather than the pleasure in watching
the game that draws the tremendous
! crowds through the turnstiles.-Georg

The Real Defense.

The real defence for women in
their growing love of dress seems to
us TO be this, that dress Is a recrea-
ton. one OF those natural recreations
which grow out of necessity and out
OF everlasting emotions. 1t is moth
ing against recreation that the frivo.
lous rich suffer from overindulgence
in II. or the frivolous poor from that
craving for it which has it's roots in
privation. The love of dress among
women especially, we think. i'm it's
modern manifestation, which empha-
sizes variety makes, we believe. for
social balance. The disappearance of
all remnant of class costume is a
great reform. The open Worship of
tradition is a deadening thing. At the
same time. by cultivating their I'm.
stinct for the pretty and the useless.
women build unconsciously great
rampant of admiration against the de.
vastating spirits OF envy and utilitari.
anism. Dress is q recreation shared
by a whole sex-a strong bond of
sympathy, and at the same time one
of the forces which render the little
ebullition OF unnatural feeling which
we have dignified by the name OF sex.
hatred wholly ridiculous. For if we
go to the root of the matter, the rea.
son women love to wear variety OF
fine clothes is because men love to
see them wearing them, and the reas.
on men tend more and more to a uni
form is because women in their heart
of hearts care less than men do for
appearance, are less influenced by
them and have quicker apprecia.
ton OF those charms over which fash
ion and finery have no effect.

BAYoNETs IN BROWNSVILLE.
Soldiers RepuIsed Mob Who Tried to
Take Negro From Officers.

At Thomasville on Thursday the
negro, Howard Harris, who assaulted
Mrs. Effie Mcmillan Dutton, was SEN
fenced to hang on May goth by Judge
R. G. Mitchell of the Southern cir
cult after trial which lasted about
two hours.
Several demonstrations occurred
on the street in an effort to obtain
the negro from the officers who
brought the prisoner from Jackson
vile, Fla, for the purpose of wreak-
ing mob violence. In a most bold
encounter two men were severely
stabbed with bayonets by the home
guards. Owing to the high feeling
existing two companies from Albany
and Valdosta were summoned for the
purpose of protecting the prisoner,
and he was sent to Macon, accom-
panied by small squad of soldiers,
for safe keeping.
