Proof to American Superiority.

There surely must be something fund.
amental in these oft and repeated vic
tories of American athletes in their con
tests of brain and Drawn with English
men. Mr.. Jay Gould has added one more
decisive proof of this in the masterful
way in which he defeated George +.
Convey of England, the professional court
tennis champion of the world.
Much has been written about the
fundamental something which makes an
American superior to an Englishman in
the world of sport, and hundreds of rea
sons have been given; but the most sat
isfactory one to us seems to be the sim
plest
Americans are better athletes than
Englishmen.
Court tennis is one of the oldest games
that are now played. II goes back to
the days when knights i'm armor fought
IN tournaments, and the first court that
was teed for this form of tennis was
castle courtyard. TIE game was devel-
oped in the old world and was not de-
vised in this country before il became
popular abroad America, therefore.
leads England in one of her oldest
sports. Golf is likewise an old game and
so is horse polo, but the victories of
Mr.. Ouimet and the American polo team
have taken all the glory in those sports
away from England and left nothing
but the age.
Mr.. Gould's victory is also a source
OF pleasure to all lovers of amateur
sports. Usually the man who makes
game of some kind his business in life
attains such proficiency that the anna
teur cannot hope to compete in the same
class. With Mr.. Gould the tables are
turned, and so much greater Is the cred

New England colleges are to be disap-
pointed at the ruling of the faculty Of
Keio university of Japan. The Keio uni
versity baseball team is to invade the
United States. A recent edict by the
faculty informed the players TO return

team playing only colleges on the Pa

opportunity to play the eastern and New
England colleges, as was planned when
the trip was first arranged.

All the Jurors Reinstated.

The substance of the decree of the
Supreme Court in the case of l. H.
Teat, disbarred by Judge Land as it,
ror, with eleven others, is that there
is no law by which jurors may be bar
red. According to this decree the judge
of court cannot exercise his authori-
ty to discredit any juror regardless of
the verdict rendered or whatever their
action or their conduct as juryme n
when trying case. As there is no
law to hold to account any juror who
fails in his duty as juror, Judge Land
ordered the reinstatement of all the
jurors disbarred. who by their verdict
declared Little and his wife not guilty

of the Creator with man. No
tolerance with laxity in the OBJ
servance of decorum in the adj
ministration of justice is per-
Missile, any more so than is ir-
reverence and the lack of pro-
priety in religious services.
There is no denying that the lack
of veneration and respect for
sacred and serious things is the
bane and curse of our land. Our
boys and young men gather in
gaping disorderly crowds outside
of Our church doors and disturb
the peace and decorum of the oc-
casion, because the idea is abroad
over the land, forsooth, that the
services are presided over by
human beings just plain, COM
mon, ordinary, everyday folks. !"
And their fathers cultivate and
encourage indecent conduct and
general irrevrence and incipient
anarchy by their indifference in
the observance of decorum in the
courts of justice, where mems
lives and liberties are at stake,
and the judges and lawyers
charged with rectitude in dealing
with these important matters
think that it does not matter
whether they wear a coat, stick
their feet on the table or smoke
a Jimmy pipe.

Death Notices and Cards of Thanks.
Cards of thanks, being solely

card cost cost from so cents to
$1.00, as to space occupied. AS
a rule we make no charge for
death notices, but where persons
send in long obituaries, and give
family histories that occupy ex-

The Chronicle this week places the
name of Hon. j. B. Aswell in its an
nouncement column as candidate for
Congress, subject to the approval Of
the Democrats of the Sth Congressional
District Of Louisiana in the primary

the Democrats of the district heartily
endorse his remarkably beneficial acts

Don't Parody Extracts of Scripture.

Every now and then some
weakly" newspaper comes to
hand containing parody on the
Ten Commandments, or Oh the
Lords Prayer. This is an out
rageous sacrilege, and no self
respecting journal should allow
such mandy PANTY slop to appear
in its columns. To parody The
Chronicles, the Ten Command
ments, or the Lords Prayer, and
apply them to politics or the COM
mon every day affairs of secular
life, requires but a feeble exer-
else of intellect, and yet a great
many people imagine it shows
extra intelligence on their part.
Sacred writ is venerated by mil
lions of people, and they always
feel offended to see it belittled
and profaned by irreverent use
and application. We have no
right to offend people in their
religious convictions. An old
Confederate colonel called this
editor down about such stuff
more than forty years ago, and
we have respected his injunction
ever since as well worthy of OBJ
servance. We have never seen
a parody of Sacred Writ that we
thought deserved repetition.

'Let All Things be Done Decently and
in Order
]. B. ASWELL

Let All things be Done Decentiy and
in Order"
Under the heading "Decorum
in the Court Room" the Shreve-
port Journal comments as fol-
lows:
The esteemed Colfax Chronicle says
that it has "heard good deal of the
lack of decorum in the Caddo court
room. lawyers in shirt sleeves, smok-
ing, heels cooked up on tables, etc. +"
And then, after calling attention to
the fact that liquor had been sent to
the jury room on recent occasion,
adds: mo wonder that justice goes
halt and lame in such an atmosphere. Z"
AS matter Of fact, there is not as
much lack of decorum in the Caddo
court as our Colfax contemporary would
have its readers believe. Lawyers
sometimes smoke in the Caddo court
room-in all of 'em-and sometimes,
perhaps, when things are running along
smoothly, they cock their heels up on
the desk. But we've never seen a
shirt-sleeved lawyer in the Caddo court
room during the sitting of the tribu-
nal.
Indeed, the minor things of which
our Colfax contemporary complains
have absolutely nothing to do with the
halt and lame brand of justice which
has been so much in evidence in the
parish of Caddo and elsewhere in the
State of Louisiana. Why build up, or
continue to bolster up longer, a false
notion about the courts of the land?
They are run and presided over by hu-
man beings just plain, common. ordi-
nary. everyday folks. And whether
they wear coat, or stick their feet
on the table or smoke Jimmy pipe
hasn't thing to do with their admin
istration or maladministration of their
Offices"

ISOLATION PLAN
Up To ALDERMEN
Declared Unlikely It Will Pass
at This Time.

Although members OF the Board of
Aldermen are in sympathy with the
movement of the Board of Health
for erection of an isolation hospital
here, it is not likely that it will be
established at this time. This, main
ly because Of the depressed financial
condition, declare city officials. Com
missioners and inspectors of the
health department waited upon the
city fathers at their committee meet
ing last night and requested that an
appropriation of $4,000 be granted
for the erection and equipment of an
isolation hospital building. The sub
ject WAS discussed at length and
taken under consideration by the al
dermen.
Health officials will communicate
with officials of municipalities now
having such institutions, to ascertain
cost of erection, equipment, mainte-
nance, etc. The city fathers are par
ticularly desirous of learning the
amount of upkeep and they suggested
to the delegation ON hand last night
that they secure information from
such cities as Elizabeth, Asbury Park
and others which have isolation hos
pitfalls, to secure the desired informa-
ton.

TO LEASE USE Of
DOCK TO BOAT CO
New Line to Keansburg a Boost
for Perth Amboy.

The Board of Harbor Commission
ers is about to lease the use of the
public dock on the property re-
Gently purchased by the city from
Z. Z. Baldwin, off Front street. to
the owner of a steamboat that will
make regular trips between this
city and Keansburg. According to
President Richard A. Bolger, of the
board, such boat service would mean
boost to the merchants of Perth
Amboy and stimulate trade by
bringing the Summarizes" and 9TH
er residents of Keansburg to this
city to shop. when Keansburg
people find that they can come to
Perth Amboy in only forty minutes,
they will take advantage of this to
do their shopping here" said Mr..
Bolger his morning.
Not only would a steamboat line
be boost to the merchants, but 1t
would be hailed with delight by rec
reat1on seekers, who after the days
grind desire to take a short trip on
the briny waves, or bathe In the
shoals off the excellent, sandy beach
at Keansburg. Mr.. Bolger has TAX
price so that the people could be ben
Gifted through the granting of the
owner a privilege Of landing at the
city dock.
The scheduled time to make the
run each way to and from Keans-
burg Is forty minutes, whereas on
the trolley it requires about one
hour and fifteen minutes. The troll
ley lands passengers about a quarter
Of mile from the beach. The name
OF the steamboat is "Cygnet" and
Mr. Bolger declares It is a first
class passenger steamer with two
decks and capacity of some 200
persons. The boat will operate
Sundays and holidays, as on other
days, and the owner may put ON two
boats on the former. James j. Gil
ligan, of Forty-second street and
Eleventh avenue, New York, is the
owner of the boat and will operate it
himself. He has contracted with the
Keansburg Steamboat Company for
the use Of their pier at Keansburg.
Following the approval of granting
the landing at the public dock for
mally by the harbor board, the boat
will start its runs June 27, it is
expected. The boat is to make Its
first trip during the day at 12
o'clock, and returning from Keans-
burg at l o'clock, then leaving each
place every other hour. The last
boat from this city will be at 10
O'Clock at night, and II from
Keansburg. "It's going to bring the
people into our city, and that is what
the city dock is for" is the favor
able manner In which Mr.. Bolger
considers the proposition.
The harbor board will meet the
first part of next week to pass on
the application of Mr.. Gilligan to use
the city dock. Mr.. Bolger says the
owner of the boat agrees to pay a
satisfactory sum to the city for the
privilege of using the public dock.
