SILVER PURCHASES. ‘Why the Treasury Department Failed te Carry out the law. ‘The Treasury Department has failed to tomply with the law requiring the purchase of 4500,000 ounces of silver each month. ‘The reason for this is that the required quota could not be obtained at what th department regards as its “market value.” ‘Today was the last opportunity of securing the quota for July. The offerings were 318,009 ounces, at prices ranging from 90.7050 to 99.7150 per ounce. The department Fegarded the prices too high and rejected all the offers, making a counter offer of 99.2080, which ‘is considered the true mar- ket value. Some silver may be obtained at Sparchaneke it, woukl eal make the was pure! it, would only e the total purchases for the month 3,500,000 ounces, and leave a deficiency of 1,000,000 ounces. Ee Movement Of Silver. ‘The issue of standard silver dollars from the mints and treasury offices during the week ended July 29 was $432,369; for the corresponding period of last year, $440,065. ‘The shipment of fractional silver: con from the Ist to the 30th instant amounted to $725,473. nd An fiana Bank Resumes.

Secretary Smith Disavows Responsi- bility For Individaal Pension Re- jections. CHICAGO, July %.—Secretary Hoke Smith was shown a story telling how the residents of the Buckeye town had been aroused to anger when J. L. Reed, a sol- dier eighty-three years old, was dropped from the pension roll and had vented their wrath by making a dummy, christening it after Mr. Smith, and then giving it the place of honor in'a big bonfire. “I know nothing of the case whatever and had no connection with it,” said Secretary of the Interior. “If Reed had deen it has been done by the com- missioner of pensions, probably, for some good reason. I have taken no such acy tion in any individual case save that of Bennett, and not even a single republican has taken exception to that ruling. The act of 1890 requires production of proof of inability to perform manual labor. As for Bennett, he was only slightly deaf and could hear the ticking watch three inches away, so I m 4 personal ruling in his case, in accordance with the require- ments of the act mentioned. I am just re- turning from a tour in the far west and had not heard anything of Reed until now, and, therefore, know nothing about his having been dropped.

Spencer, president of the Lake Superior Elevator Company, and Col. Graves, for- merly president of the same company and & director of the Northern Pacific Elevator Company, deny in every detail the story sent out from New York that New England and New York banks have been victimized by forged certificates issued by the Northern acy Pacific Company. “There is absolutely no truth in the story,” said Mr. Spencer; “there has been No over-issue of certificates and no use of forged certificates as collaters in New York or any place else. The only possible foundation for the story is the fact that a plan for the reorganization of the company under consideration under which the debts of the Northern Pacific Company will be taken up, and Mr. Kellogg of St. Paul, attorney for the company, has just re- turned from Boston, where he submitted the plan to the banks that are creditors of the Northern Pacific Company. The scheme for reorganization has been accept- ed and it is practically assured.” Col. Graves said: “It is a sensational story without any foundation on truth. No forged certificates were ever issued or used for collateral. The Northern Pacific Company met with losses, but was nothing fraudulent in the matt Roberts Forbes, who is the receiver of the company, is in Tacoma, and no state- ment can be obtained from him. —_>—_ EXHIBITORS DO NOT LIKE IT. Pass Holders at the Chicago Fair Din- inclined to Submit to Restrictiow CHICAGO, July 31.—There has not been @ general disposition on the part of the ex- hibitors and employes to conform to the order of the council of administration re- garding the scrutiny and stamping of Passes, “Good after August 1.” Many of these full term pass holders say they are not going to run after the chief of their de- partment or the subordinates of Superin- tendent Tucker to be inspected and investi- gated. The British exhibitors and their em- ployes talk in a defiant way about their rights and the ability of any man to keep them away from their exhibits when they hold a fuil term pass. They declare their intention of jumping over the turnstiles if the ticket takers refuse them admission on their passes and intimate that the British commissioner gave them such instructions. Other foreign exhibitors take the same ground that as the passes they secured came through the commissioners from their country they will take orders from none other than the official representatives of their governments. The exhibitors say they have submitted to enough restrictions and idnignities in regard to their free ad- mission to the fair. ‘There is much ‘complaint among both foreign and domestic exhibitors who have already met with a refusal from the de- partment chiefs or Superintendent Tucker's department, to mark passes good after August 1, on the ground that the holders thereof arenot regularly employed in at- tendance on exhibits. The indications are that beginning to- morrow there will be plenty of trouble for the employes of the department of ad- missions. At the rate the 45,000 full term and monthly are going through the inspection and stamping mill it will be im- possible to enforce the order of the coun- eil_ tomorrow barring out all holders of passes not stamped. ‘The only remedy will in an extension of the time lmit for five days or more to allow all who are entitled to further admission on their passes to get them marked. There has been a big redustion in the pases already. Of the 45,000 full term and monthly passes which were outstanding, 20,000 have been cancelled or taken up.

Prices Opened Weak but the Market Afterwards Strengthened. Special Dispatch To the Evening Star. NEW YORK, July 3.—London prices came 1-4@1 per cent lower this morning, and the orders from that. center were to sell stocks, consequently the opening here was weak, at prices ranging from 1-2 to 2 per cent below Saturday's close. Lake Shore was especially weak, selling down to 104, against 109 1-2 bid on Saturday. It soon de- veloped, however, that stocks were very scarce in the loan crowd, all the active shares loaning at a premium. Western Union loaned as high as 1 per cent per day for the use, New York Central at 1-2, Lackawanna at 1-4, and the others ranged from flat to 1-% This started the bears covering, and Western Union rallied to 12 1-2, against 68 at the opening, the other active stocks also showing a firmer front. Money, on call, opened at 7 per cent, and ranged 7@10 all day. The clearing house operations show a debit to subtreasury of 000. The clear- ing house also authorized an additional is- in cert the amount of these certificates’ outstand: dvices ‘from: Boston were to the effect that money was ruling very close there, 8 to 10 per cent, and that the clearing house there had authorized $650,000 loan certifi- cates, making the total outstanding there eeprale to whether the Opinions differed as dividend on General Electric of 2 per cent, due tomorrow, would be paid. A dispatch from Boston said that it was stated posi- tively by the company’s officials in that elty that the dividend would be paid. This, coupled with the fact that the stock was extremely scarce in the loan crowd, caused a better feeling on the property, and it held very firm after the opening sales. Foreign exchange was in good supply and only barely steady at 485, actual rates being a half a cent below these fig- ures. August Belmont and Co. were noti- fed ofa consignment of, $00,010 gold, and Heldelbach, Ickilhelmer and Co. ‘have ad- vices of. the. shipment of a like amount. both consignments leaving London for this port by tomorrow’s steamers. Only five of the savings banks have taken advantage of the “time clause,” and these only enforce the fe ee to those who are evidently contrdiled by the “scare” and have no real use for the money. At two o'clock advices were recelved from Chicago to the effect that the First Nation- al Bank of that city had ordered $500,000 tn gold from London to be shipped by Wed- nesday’s steamer.

Superintendent Miles Urges Its Complete Reconstruction. THE SERVICE NOT ADEQUATE. Better Protection for the Suburbs Required. THE COST OF A NEW SYSTEM. The report of the telegraph and tele- phone service of the District for the year ending June 20, 1893, was made to the Com- missioners today by the superintendent, Henry R. Miles. It is the twenty-ninth annual report of the service. Superintendent Miles dwells at length upon the urgent necessity for the enlarg- infg and Improving the fire alarm telegraph. ‘This telegraph covers only certain portions of Washington and Georgetown, and with the exception of a box at the corner of Columbia road and 19th street extended, the suburbs are wholly without aid from this most important adjunct to the fire de- partment. Speaking of the present sy: tem, known as the Gamewell automac, which was put in eighteen years ago, he says, that seventy-five signal boxes were placed on seven circuits. ‘This number was increased in 1884 and since, so that there are now 153 boxes on seven circuits, an av- erage of twice the number that ought to be Kept on any circult for such ‘purpose. The four alarm circuits, with the intro- duction from time to time of new fire coi panies, are as much overburdened as are the signal circuits. At no time during the elghteen years has there been an appropria- tion sufficient to provide for the purchase of new central office instruments or to construct new or additional circuits, To insure the best results each cirouit ought to be comparatively short, and in no case should a signal vircult. carry more than ten signal boxes, or un alarm eirceit Pere than two fire compames, for the res- m in part that when a break occurs in & clreuit only a small portion of the service Will be thrown out pending repairs. As it is now, by a single brea in a single elreuit, as many as twenty-six fire alarm boxes may be thrown out of rervice and be out for hours until repairs can be made, To Prevent Di “To prevent serious di of this kind,” Mr. Miles goes “it is highly tn- portant to increase the number of circuits. In my Feport last year I had the honor to Suggest that forty sigan] boxes and fifteen alarm circuits were needed; fire alarm boxes should be an average of ten box. already intimated, sw carry with it the neces of new central offi aratus With cor- responding capactt short a comprete rebuilding of the entire system, using only #9 much of the pre includ all the alarm boxes, as riay be suitable ‘ll a place in the new plant Another year's 4 that tue to 490, 2s to each cireuit. AS ‘nan increase would for the purchas: rs experience and observation reat), strengthens my belief that the suggestions then offered were, ni are sow, the press. ing demands of the people. It 3 Impossible fo maintain a high standard of «ficienc in any fire department, uniess back o: > you have an ample and ei!) telegraph. “For ‘several years past, both in annual and special reports, P have cuted ual ton to the inadequacy of the plant, and to the wretched condition of the old rotten poles, urging as best I knew how the neces- sity of sufficient appropriation to renew the poles, take down a portion of the old rusty iron wire which has been in use since 1873, and replace it with suitable copper wire, but the appropriations made have been so meager as to render it impossible to keep the lines in any other than dangerous con- ., and exceedin, ee sly unsightly to the “In view of the urgent necessity for en- larging (the system, taken in’ connection with the wornout and tumbled down con- dition of nearly all the old lines now in use, I beg to suggest the propriety of abandoning entirely the idea of repairing the old lines, except so far as it may be. come necessary to keep them up for the time being, and to ask for a sufficient ap- propriation to rebulld and enlarge the sys- tem as briefly outlined. To put the old lines in a good state of repair would cost a large sum of money without giving that extended protection to property so much needed, and hence, as I look at it, the bet- ter plan would be to rebuild and enlarge at the same time. I do not make this ap- peal because Washington is the capital of & Sreat nation, but simply on the ground that the citizens of the District of Colum- bia, alike in city and suburbs, need and ought to have better protection from fire than this department can give them with the wornout and insufficient telegraph we now have. Protection for the Suburbs. “To construct anew the necessary Ines to cover city and suburbs, on good poles of sufficient height to keep the wires above the tree tops, and with the best quality of copper wire of suitable gauge, would cost about $150,000. The requisite new ‘nstru- ments, with capacity for forty signal end fifteen alarm circuits (metallic), would cost $50,000, Total, $200,000. These estimates I consider fair ‘and reasonable, but far below relative prices paid elghteen years ago for the construction of our present system. Within the densely inhabited and business portions of the city alarm boxes ought to e so placed that in no case would it be hecessary to go more than one square from the location of a fire to reach an alarm box; and in the suburbs not more than one- eighth of a mile, but if this rule should be adopted, 400 boxes would be too limited by one-half to supply the want. “The destructive fire which occurred on the 234 instant at the Reform School for Boys furnishes a pleading and convincing argument In favor of providing better facll- {tles throughout the entire suburban set- tlements for transmitting alarms of fire to the fire department, The suburban locali- ties most in need of protection of the fire alarm telegraph are Anacostia and St. Elizabeth Asylum; a subdivision just out- side of the city to the northeast, ‘with ex- tension to the Reform School for Boys: Le Droit Park, with extension to Howard University; all that portion of country north of Washingion from 7th to. 2lst streets as far north as the extreme limits of Mount Pleasant; Georgetown. heights, with extension to Tenlevtown; Brightwood 4 Takoma Park; Brookland,’ the Catholic University, Soldiers’ Home and Ivy City. If the ‘system be not reconstructed it will be an absolute necessity to expend at least $19,000 to patch up the old lines, and even with a $10,000 patch no adequate pro- tection would be afforded even to city prop. erty and none whatever to suburban. yavith an actual experience of twenty. five years in the fire-alarm office I offer it as my best judgment that the entire plant should be rebuilt, rather than make any attempt at general repatring. The old poles are too short, besides being rotten and un- safe. In consequence of the short poles now in use the wires are in contact ‘with the limbs of trees to an extent rendering it difficult at best, and in wet weather nearly impossible, to receive and transmit alarms. Most of the tron wire in use has hecome rusty and ts almost worthless fom old age. “The only remedy for these serlous de- fects must be found elther in repairing the old lines, securing only temporary relief, or rebuild and enlarge, substantially as above Suggested and most. earnestly “recom. mended.” The Police Telegraph. The patrol telegraph and telephone ser- vice of the nine police precincts has 126 street stations, from which reports are made hourly or oftener. The furniture in connection with the patrol system in sev- eral of the precincts ought to be renewed. During the year there were sent and re- ceived at the central teiephone office 119,77: messages. There were 527 alarms for fire, an incregse of 120 over the year before, of which 282 came direct from the boxes, and eight were general alarms. The appropriations for the year were $21,500, ‘and the total disbursements ‘S21,- 493.17, leaving an unexpended balance of 36.83."

While Father Richards, the president of the college, was allowed to stay, his re- moval is expected at any day. As to who his successor will be The Star reporter was in- formed no one at the college knew and that it would be the wildest speculation to men- tion any name in connection with the of- ice. The term of the presidency is three years. but already Father Richards has held it five. The duties of the office are very bur- densome, and his transfer to another sta- tion will be for the purpose of giving him @ much needed rest. On August 4 Father Richards starts for Hartford, Conn., where he will conduct a retreat. No vice president has as yet been ap- pointed for the college. Father Carroll, the invalid priest who came to Georgetown from the Hot Springs of Arkansas, where he went to benefit his health, has so far recovered from the rheu- matism that he has resigned the privileges of a visitor, and been given charge of the spiritual guidance of the pupils. Father ‘arroll is now able to wheel himself around in his invalid’s chair. Heretofore he re- quired the constant attention of a colored man, his limbs being powerless. Aged Father Ward, who for over fifty years has been in the priesthood, will re- main at the college. ‘Three of the new comers, Father Frisbee and Messrs. Macksey and Thompkins, are from Woodstock College. Father Frisbee was there teacher of chemistry. Father Duncan returns to ‘Georgetown from Boston, where he had charge of St. Mary's Church, Father Harlin is another of the old favor- ites, whose return will cause rejoicing among the friends of the university, who parted with him two years ago with such regret. He comes back from Frederick with Father Pittar. Rev. Thomas E. Murphy and Rev. Father ‘John A. Chester are to hold mission services in the states bordering the Atlantic, from Maine to Florida. Rev.

Sheerin being the appointee. Father Roco- fort, however, will not be sent away. This church has one of the largest parishes in the District. and the steady increase of the duties of those in charge has necessi- tated the sending of another assistant to the pastor.

Saturday evening troop A of the District National Guard took a moonlight side. About 7 o'clock in the eveaing Capt. Ber- bour, with some thirty of is troopers, rude away from the armory. The ride was in the direction of Forest Glen, Maryland, and near that place a camp was male and the night spent under blankets. Yesterday evening the return ride was made to the elty. The troop always, on any affair, manages to have @ good time and this was no ex- ception. The clear crisp bugle calls of the cavalry awoke the echoes of the Maryland ‘hills as the troop rode to their camp and at Forest Glen Inn the guests were treated to an especially elaborate performance. The camp was made on the extensive farm known around Washington as the Eldorado and owned by the sons of the late Con- Sressman Page of Callfornia. Yesterday at the camp the troopers held an almost continuous reception of both Maryland and District friends. The Saturday night camp was made without tents, but was simply an army bivouac with blankets for cover- ing, the trees for a roof and the soft side of an army saddle for a pillow. At 6:30 yesterday the return ride commenced after hearty cheers for the state of Maryland and especially for the entire Page family. Trips of this sort, combining an enjoyable outing with a good deal of hard, practical drilling, are what has made the cavelry troop one of the crack mounted militia companies of the country. ~ The White Elephant. From the Caltfornian, In former days the ceremonies attending the capture of a white elephant were very impressive. The discoverer, were he the humblest man in the kingdom, was imme- Gately made a mandarin; he was exempt- ed from taxation for the remainder of his life, and presented with large sums of money, the king himself giving him $1,000, As soon as the capture was made. a special courier was dispatched to the king, and @ posse of nobles with gifts and robes started immediately for the scene of ac- tion. The ropes which the captors used in binding the royal victim were replaced by cords of scarlet silk. Mandarins attended to the slightest wants of the animal. Rich feather fans with gilt handles were used to keep the files from it during the day, while @ silk embroidered mosquito net was provided at night. To remove it to the capital a boat Was bullt expressly for the purnose, and a magnificent canopy erected over {t, ‘ornamented and bedecked, as were the king's palaces. Silk draperies, heavy with ‘silver and gold, enclosed the royal prisoner; and in this state he floated down the river, recelving the acclamations of the people. When near the city,the animal was landed, the king and his court going out to meet him and escort him to the city, where @ place had been bullt for him within the royal palace grounds, A large tract of land was set apart for his country place, chosen from the best the kingdom afforded. A cabinet of ministers and a large retinue of nobles were appointd to attend to his wants. 2+ Great Scheme. From Trut Briggs—“The thermometer in my room is ninety degrees.” Griggs—"“Don’t you want to borrow the one in my room? It’s only eighty-six de- grees.” —+es The Scold. From What ‘One Woman Thinks." There was a little boy of seven years in her family whose business it was to pre- pare kindling wood. Sometimes he forgot to prepare it. Seven years isn’t a very great while to live in this world, and sometimes people who have lived seven times seven forget things. ‘This woman who scolded entertains a memory which will abide with her forever. The memory is associated with the words of a dying child uttered in delirium: “Don’t scold ‘me, mamma, decr, I forgot the kind- ling, but I'll get it now—and—please don't —scold—me.” ‘The words have burned into her soul. They, afford no measure of comfort. She hasn't scolded anybody for years. There is no one to scold. Value of Economy. From the New York Weekly.

A, woman who gave the name of Mrs. Elizabeth Dick, and claimed to be from Washington, was in the Yorkville police court, New York, yesterday, and related a strange story to Justice Meade. According to a pablication in the New York Herald to- day. Policeman Malone of the East Twenty- second street station who arrested her, said he was in East 20th street on Satur day night, when a citizen informed him that a half dozen men and one woman were asleep in the loft over a stable. Malone mounted to the loft on a ladder and found the men and the woman asleep in the straw. He roused the seven sleepers and took them to the station house, where the men were recognized by the sergeant as members of the far-famed “Stable Gang.” The lynx- eyed sergeant could not place the woman. All hands, however, were locked up. When she was arraigned in the York- ville police court yesterday morning Mra. Dick's entire dissimilarity to her fellow prisoners at once excited comment. She wore several handsome rings on her fingers and in her ears were what seemed to be diamond pendants. Her dress was neat, though not by any means pretentious. She said her home wes at 1312 B street, Washington, D. C., and that her husband was employed in the Treasury Department, his duties being to mix the inks which are used to print ‘greenbacks. Mrs. Dick de- clared she had not been right in her head since the death of her mother in Tarry- town, a few months ago. She said she ar- rived’ in New York last week and took board at Dennett’s, at 14 East Fourteenth street. She went out for a walk in Third avenue on Saturday morning and drank a couple of glasses of beer. Then, she declares, she was selzed with one of her queer spells and remembered nothing until she was awakened by Policeman Malone in the hay loft. She says she carnot imagine how she got there and that she does not know the men near whom she was found sleeping. She was not disturbed or harmed by them, she said in court. ‘The men protested they knew nothing about Mrs. Dick and were not aware of her presence. Justice Meade wiped the ration from his brow after he had listened to this ex- traordinary story, and as all concerned were apparently honest in their assertions he discharged them. ‘The woman is the wife of Archibald R. Dick, an engraver, employed in the bureau of engraving and printing, who married her nearly five years ago. After a year or two, it ts stated, she evinced a taste for alcohol that devel rapidly until she was a drunkard. Her husband sent her to the Keeley Institute, and after her return she did not drink for some months, but then she relapsed into her old habit. Rae He Wasn’t Burning Garbage. To the Editor of the Evening Star: Please correct your account of the fire at 109 E street northwest, printed in Satur- day's Star. The fire was not caused by burning of garbage in a wood shed. I do not resort to the cremation of refuse, and if I did a stove or range would be better adapted to that reprehensible practice than @ wood shed. The fire was started by some boys in the next yard. The house was un- occupied and these boys made a resort of the premises, E. V. O’Brien, 109 E street northwest. —_———— A Military Parade.

Stole Everything Movable and Then Tried to Mortgage the House. From the San Francisco Examiner. C. A. Collins, who says that he is a clerk, but who ts said by the police to be one of the shrewdest burglars in the city, is con- fined in one of the tanks of the city prison. He was arrested Wednesday night by De- tectives Silvey, Cody and Crockett. On the 2th of last month, according to the police, he broke into the flat of Mrs. Knox at 242 Howard street, while she was absent in the country, and for two days de- voted his time to carting away every movable object in the house. Nothing seemed to be beneath his notice, and in the various trips he made in and out he took away all the silver ware, clothing, bed clothes, etc., that belonged to Mrs. Knox, and then took down the curtains and r~ tleres and the pictures on the walls. carpets and rugs also came under his ob- servation, and he took the choicest. All these things were disposed of to a 4th street furniture dealer, and Silvey says that he not only received the cash for them, but made arrangements with the fur- niture man to go and get the plano and the rest of the carpets, and had negotiations under way with a Market street real es. tate agent to put a mortgage on the build- ing. —__+e+___—_ PAID $30 FOK HIM AS A SAVAGE. Now He is Clever Young Doctor, Working to Civilize His People. From the Chicago Inter-Orean. “Here is the best investment I ever made in my life,” said C. Gentile in room 134 of the Grand Pacific Hotel yesterday after- noon, as he took the extended hand of a stalwart young man with the features of the American Indian and introduced the gentleman as Dr. Carlos Montezuma. “One would not think I bought the doctor for $30, He was but five years of age then. It was in the summer of 1871. I was prospect- ing in Arizona, taking photographs of In- dians and Aztec ruins and gathering curi- osities. One day a band of Pimo Indians came into my den with this handsome fel- low here, but he was not handsome ther He was painted in glaring colors, with rows of beads uround his neck.

An attempt has been made by several of the League base ball clubs to beat the Philedelphians out of some of their just dues. The Phillies have appealed. The dis- pute ts as follows: Early in the season the Philadelphia Club discovered that the admission rate of 50 cents to their grounds was causing them to lose money by keeping patronage away. Philadelphia has always been a % cent base ball city, and the experience of the club there has been that there is more money at a % cent rate than at 6) cents. The club accordingly reduced their ad- mission to % cents, and the result was to unmediately increase their receipts. As the visiting club gets 40 per cent the gate receipts it can be seen at a ce that all of them also profit by the retuc- Nevertheless, a few of them took an un- fair advantage of the situation to beat the Phillies out of their share of the re- ceipts while away from home. This was done 08, the, sround that as they (the schemers) got on! cents per spectat in Philadelphia they” would ‘pay lonly 10 cents per spectator to the Phiilies when the latter visited them. This was done in Boston, Chicago, Cleveland and Cincinnati. The old American Association clubs and the New Yorks and Brooklyn refused to become a party to the “pinch,” and paid the —— # per cent of the gross gate receipts. The Phillies have appealed to the board of directors, and the clubs which have withheld part of the Quakers’ share of receipts Will all have to pay the withheld money next fall, because of the directors Talcott, Von der Horst and Von der Ahe stand by the Phillies, whereas Hart, Soden and Brush, the other three members of the board, will be disqualified from acting oF voting on the cage, as they are all part- Jeg to the question in dispuie. The Phillies say that it reflects credit n Messrs. Talcott and Abel of the New ork and Brooklyn clubs, that they re- fused to enter into the combination to take an unfair advantage of the Quakers. Fair Play for Umpires. The Philadelphia Press prints a sensible article on fair play toward umpires, which can be read with benefit by many persons not a thousand miles from Washington. The Press says: Our friend, the umpire, ke the proot- reader, is born to be damned. No matter what goes wrong the poor,luckless Daniel is Sure to catch it in about the same place the Uttle boy caught the mumps. This is more especially the case when the umpire hap- pens to be either of a vacillating or angu- Mentative disposiyon. Gaffney or Lynch or “Honest John” Kelly of other days have made decisions as “yellow” as ever rendered by Snyder, Doescher or Me! iin, but got away’ with them simply cause they would not permit the players to argue. It can be put down for a fact that the umpire who is feared will get bet- ter with the players than the one is loved. Nine times out of ten the roasting that umpires receive is egged on by players, who use that means to cover up some of their own shortcomings. ‘The Press does not believe in saying any- thing of the umpire save good—unless he misrepresents a rule, when he becomes a target for legitimate criticism. Endless “roasting” has made no improvement in the umpirical staff. It has made chi of course—out of the frying pan into the fire. When the perfect being is created then we will have the perfect umpire, but until then we must make the most of the goods the gyas, through thelr agent, President Young, jot us. Base Ball Notes.
