INSANE FOURTH AGAIN.


Il has been nearly week since We
had one Of our sane Fourth spasms
and therefore we reproduce today The
following editorial extract from the
last issue Of thc Journal Of the Amer
lean Medical Association.
We have every reason to hope that
the annual crop Of tetanus cases will
not be 50 sarge after this Fourth Of
July celebration as IN previous years.
for the sane Fourth movement seems
% show a healthy growth, and tetauus
occurs only in those places that still
tolerate an insane Fourth. In 1908
there were reported 1925 blank car
fridge wounds with $50 cases OF te-
tanus. while in 1910. largely as a re-
suit Of improved control Of celebra-
ton by municipalities. only $50 blank
cartridge wounds were inflicted
mere trifle-causing but seyenty-two
cases Of tetanus. Of which about sixty.
seven were fatal.
Even though this great improve
ment has taken place. we are still Of
the opinion that such comfort, Joy and
patriotic feryor as may be yielded BY
the primitive custom OF celebrating
Day BY explosives, is
not worth the l3l lives and 2,7s2 In
iuries Of greater or less severity which
l. cost last year. Enough others seem
10 be Of the same opinion to assure
decreased expenditure of life, blood
and cuticle for the 1911 celebration,
but not enough TO reduce this to zero.
1t should be remembered THAI the
Of deaths from blank car
ridge wounds received in last years
was greater than from bul-
ct wounds, only 1O2 per cent Of the
after causing death, while 12.7 per
,ent Of the blank cartridge wounds
we're fatal"

Painfully Explicit.

The proprietor Of a certain hotel Il
Europe has posted up the following
warning TO his clients:
Gentlemen who come in this h0te
not say anything about their meals
they win be charged for and II they
should say beforehand that they are
going out TO breakfast or dinn1r. and
II they say that they not hive any

and nothing will be allowed to deduct
anything out Of IT,"

surely could be no excuse for misun-

Kansas City in National League

Kansas City In National League.
On February 8, 1856. the Kansas City
club was admitted to the National
League. This was the only year the
club ever played in the National League.
and, with the exception of the year 1900,
when it was a member Of the American
League. it was the only occasion upon
which it was in the big leagues. Its life
was largely in the American Association
in the earlier days. In the spring Of 1856
Buffalo retired from the National League
after five good years. Kansas City took
its place. At the same time Providence.
after a brilliant career, went out from
the league also, and its place was taken
by the Washington club.
In that year the Kansas City National
League club was made up of Whitney,
Conway. and Weidman. pitching; Briody,
Hackett, and Ringo. catching: McQuery
on first, A. Myers on second, Donnelly on
third, Bassett and Radford at short
Lille. d. Rowe, Conway, Radford. and
Whitney played the outfield. few
games were played by Baker catching
and McKeon and King pitching.
The record for the club in 1886 shows
that thirty games were won and ninety
one were lost The per cent Of games
won was .242. and the team finished sew
ehth. It struggled gamely through the
season. but was Obliged to resign at the
end of the year.

edition, the latter half taking place in
an anteroom of the president Of the

pires without giving utterance to the
words Of forgiveness which she speaks in
the Englis version.
Nine. Brenhardt also played the part in a
