There al- ways was some feeling among the conservati New Yorks against the pian of carrying on their rolls athletes not regular members of the club, but simply representatives of the New York Athletic Club on the field. When the Manhat- tan Athletic Club was alive the competition be- tween the two leading athletic institations was very aarp, and the result was a going outside of the club membership for crack athietes to siory eld. Deas Seekations coetad fal tile pln aed the New Yorks followed suit because, they say, they bad to fight fre with fre. The outcome was « raid on the ranks of the less pretentious elubs for athletic talent. The smallgr clubs could not hold out the inducements that the | two big clubs could. and the athletes were eager to wear s cherry diamond or « mereu: foot ‘This state of affairs was not ulated to do athletics any good, for it gat few clubs the pick of the talent, nor was it calculated to raise the tone of athletics, some of ‘the athietes not being very desirable members Ex-Capt. Giannini of the N. Y. AC. now proposes to suggest to the club that in the fu- tare the club develop its athletes from regular members. Mr. Giannini reasons that this will improve the character of the club's athletic representation. That such s plan is feasible is proved by the success of the N. Y. A.

Mr. Dwyer eays be believes that Mitchell and Corbett are in earnest in their talk about fight- ing, and that the battle will be brought off, and that as matters have recently been shaping themselves, one of the New Orleans clubs will probadly get the plum.

HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT. A Moderate Imerease in the Number of Deaths Last Week. “There was a moderate incrense in the mor- tality of the city during the past week,” says the weekiy report of Health Oficer Hammett. ~The deaths in that time were 140, an increase of 19 over those of the preceding week. This gives a death rate of 28.0 as against the normal of 23.4. The rise in the death list is almost wholly attributable to the prevalence of lung maiadies. Forty deaths occurred from acute lung troubies, of which 22 were from pneumonia. ‘The number from these causes in week before last was 22. It isa matter to be noticed that there was no mortality from diphtheria and scariet fever, while five fatal case of diarrhceal diseases occurred. Only two cases of diph- therin were reported and none from scarlet fever since the last report. All the contagious d infectious disenses, incinding id malarial fevers, are in abeyan: were 50 deaths of children ur 3 mostly from marasmus, infantile conv Jouprren.—Next week Digby Bell and his re- organized opera company will appear at Al- baagh’s Opera House in the comie opera “Jupiter.”” This opera was seen bere during its early productions and was pleasing, both on account of the catchy character of its music and for the excellent nity afforded Mr. Bell to display bis ability as s comedian.

Until then I had uot seen any of the reptiles, bat I had heard the noise of their rattle many atime. I had a haif-breed Indian helping me who owned the cat. One afternoon last July he went to the river to get a drink. ‘Ten minutes afterward I heard him give a ter- rifie yell,and a few minutes after he came running toward me squeezing the thumb of his right hand,whije his copper-colored features had assumed a cadaverous hue. He had been bitten by a rattlesnake. I tied a handkerchief around his arm, while an old Indian sucked the wound. Despite the primitive remedies of the ‘medicine man’ and the medical aid of the doc- tor from the agency, who was sent for, the man died the next day, suffering intense agony. Af- ter the funeral the Indians set fire to the copse, and forming a circle around it they killed number of snakes that were attempting to es- cape from the fire. That night I was thinking over the fate of my late companion before go- ing to sleep, while the cat purred pleasantly upon my shoulder.

I measured the reptile from which the cat so timely rescued me, and found it to be three feet 6 inches long, having 167 scuta on the body and its tail had thirteen rattles. The other snake was not so large. The fire in the cOpse had driven the reptiles into the shack, and were it not for the cat I would have met the fate of the half-breed Indian.

It says: “Of the | sixteen American cities with « population of | over 200.000 in 1890. only four, Philadelp! : Boston, Milwaukee and St. Louis, have ine porated the kindergarten on any iarge scale in | their public school systems.

What he is then he will clways ve.” | Thinkers in questions of education and politi- ‘cal economy are said to be united today on this point, that the | perity and perpetuity are to be laid deep down |in oar infant schools” with the kindergarten method of treatment. But it ia hardly just to charge this com- munity with entire apathy in the matter of tree kindergartens. nine charity schoois, several of which are sus- tained by churches, and oihers by private sub- scriptions, ‘Three of these are housed in pub- ie schoo! buildings.’ It is safe toassert that be- tween two and three hundred children have an annual enrollment in these Washington kinder- gartens, and of that class of population. the poor, the ones most deserving and needing this -ospel education of “the head, heart and hand.” jut we ought to have it for ten times two hun- dred, Yes, for all—and at the public expense. But Congress does not recognize yetthat if more money is put into more fully equipped public schools less will soon be needed for reforma- | tories. It does not yet see the importance of providing a bright, cheerful, heaithfal place in our school houses ‘where our little street tramps may be gathered in at least turee hours of the day and enjoy the benign influence of loving treatment and care such as never comes into the infancy of mtch of our poverty-stricken population. We are told that this aid from tne government will come in time, but why should We wait when we have a great community made up of large, loving, loval hearts and an abund- ance of material resource? Why may we not have one “National Capital Kindergarten Asso- ciation” and inaugurate such a work a has been carried on thiricen years in San Francisco, a work in which women and men have joined their forces and with such results as this: That “of 9,000 children from the criminal and poverty- stricken quarters of the city who have gone throughthe free kindergartens of the Golden Gate Association” but one was found to have been ar rested after careful inquiry and years of watchfuiness over police couri, prison and house of refuge records. Farseeing business men of San Francisco have recognized the ad- vantage of supporting schools instead of jails, Hence five of the thirty-five free kindergartens of that city are carried on by them—the mer- chants’ free kindergarten, the insurance, the produce exchange, the real estate and the at- torneys'. The last annual report of the Golden Gate Association testifies to the support of thirty-five schools, with an annual enrollment of 3.108 pupils and receipts amounting to 4 731.90. The number of children enrolled been duplicated on a smaller scale, perha; and New York, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Boston and Hartford. &c. are doing yeoman service in the cause of humanity by their treatment of poor and negiected chlidren. Mrs. Virginia T. Smith of the Hartford asso- ciation write: “To no one is the value of the free kinder- garten more apparent than to one who visits in the homes of the children for whom it is de- signed. In the dull and dreary associations in which some of thexe children live there cannot be satisfactory development of either faculties or affections. A different atmosphere must be created for them, or in addition to poverty and ignorance vice and crime wili attend their maturity. Goodness, cleauliness, sympathy and unselfishness must be cultivated by ex- ample and tender nurture to counteract the manifold evil influences, which not only re- press, but go far to uproot the natural virtues of the heart. We should be hopeless of @hang- ing these children trom the ruts in which they are set and seem likely to run but for the up- lifting power of kindness, generosity and love which are inherent in the human heart and which may be drawn out by the beneficent and Christian nurture of the kindergarten, * * © In many a miserable sireet in our city there are vile tenements in which neglected children are living, the ts pitiably poor, of limited intelligence, without aspiration and perhaps intemperate. The home is comfortless and filthy, the food meager and un- satisfying. The child looks about him with @ sad sense of longing.» He wants in- telligent and loving companionship, slthough he does not know it, and he wants something with which to piay. ‘Frequently the only things he can command are the coal hod and the coal. He must be dirty. His frowsy, slipshod mother leaves her bed or chair to beat him for being noisy or disobedient. So, with absolutely noth- ing in which to be interested in the house, he betakes himself to the street so soon amhe can Teach up to open a door or slip down a flight of stairs. ‘Then he wanders about, playing in the filth of the gutters, straying after Tattling carte, toddling into the groggeries, he penn the bad words be hears and gazing in mild won- der at the brutalities he sees practiced.

But as often as the kindergarten gathers in one of there little social ou:casts, makes him clean and satisfies his hunger, protects him from summer's heatand winter's cold,and while voicing in kindly tones the blessed lore of the sohool, instinctively imparts to him the spirit of refinement, unselfishness and affection which 'vades it, so often are the wordsof our Savior ed: ‘Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."” 8.

French Savings Banks. From the London Times. Today's sitting of the chamber had excep- tional impo-tance because of the momentous part played by savings banks in a country like France, where the habit of saving is so general. Except revolutionists, who work as little as they can, ali regular workers, whether masters or | servants, resort to this mode of deposit, and the | amounts swell to many hundreds of millions. so tbat the investment of them in@entes governs the Bourse quotations. Now, for the last few wel the republic have been ea: | against the savings banks, e the assailants of 1g on a campaign jeavoring by news- Positors. Some nervous or eredulous people ave accordingly drawn out.

Exceptional legislation is, doubtless, to be regretted, but it was clearly necessary to protect the country against a national danger provoked for a political end by men who sbrink from no means of satisfying their mischievous ambitions. ——+2+____ Anchor Ice. From the Boston Herald. The “anchor ice,” by which the steamer City of Boston was imprisoned yesterday in the Thames river at Norwich, is one of the strangest of wintry phenomens. It goes by various names, West of Now England it is known as “slush ice,” and abroad it is called “ground i ‘bottom ice” and “‘loppered ice.” It is not formed upon the surface of water, but collects on the beds of streams. Th the most remarkable thing about it. Many theories have been advanced to account for its forma- tion. One scientist claimed that it was the result of radiation of heat from the river bed, | and that it was deposited on the same principle asdew. Another gtoutly maintained that it was produced by little spiculw of hoar frost falling from the atmosphere into the water. The most acceptable hypothesis, however, is that the whole body of water in which it ix found 1s thoroughly chilled by a mechanical | action of the currents of the stream, and that the anchor ice then natarally forms on the stones and other rough bodies at the bottom. After this general cooling of the water to a | temperature in the neighborhood of 32° Fab- renheit, the anchor ice will speedily coat a pole, for example, , that is lowered into the stream.

At times a stream will be seen full of little masses of anchor ice floating along near or at the grasp it in the band it readily melts and disappears.
