 DAYs OF DECADENT ROME

New York, May 19-Bishop Edwin S:, Lines. in his annual address at the 42nd convention of the Newark Epis- copal Diocese, at Trinity Episcopal church, Newark urged support of the national administration in the present danger of war. He declared that all good citizens should t.let politics end at the waters edge Bishop Lines also said:
 ssOne might judge from what was read concerning entertainment and amusements last winter that our peo- pie had gone to the depth of inde- cency in the search for amusement; ]; that feasting and reve1ry prevailed, which brought back the memory of the most degenerate days of the Ro- man Empire.

wITH THE VICfoRs.

Blansfeld is going to cover first base in the game Thursday. By this it should be inferred that Streck is to retire. Manager O'Rourke still thinks that Henry will yet round to. He plays a pretty fielding game, but does not seem able to get his eye on the ball when at bat.
 What a fine batter Tom Ivers has developed into. His hitting in most of the games he has played in this season has been one of the features It is the opinion of many close ob- servers of the game that Ivers should be regularly assigned to first base which bag he can cover in excellent style.
 A great many attendants at the games who watch Jack Doherty's fine all around playing wonder why it is that he is not a member of one of the subordinate league teams. For their information we will say that Jack is perfectly contented where he is at present. The Victors can't afford to get along without Jack and his de- parture, even though it would mean his own betterment, would be cause for much regret.

But can't spare Lush yet, though sympathize with him in his anxiety to get into the game. He possesses all the requisites of a fine ball player, and is as valuable to me on the bench as in the field. He is a good batter, a fast runner, and a splendid thrower, and if he will but have patience he will yet see himself listed as one of the stars of the profession. I would like to grant his request, but he is too good man to have absent in an erner- gency which is liable to occur at any time"
