A thousand tennis courts and baseball diamonds testify io ft and the bunk ers of a hundred golf links ehow where aspiring youths are climbing thelr firet San Jun Hills. Theee reflections are prompted by the extent to which the Fourth jas become a day of outdoor sports, one sec ond in that respect oniy to Decoration Day. Some may think this manner of observing the day indicative of a deterioration of the patriotic spirit, Is it a worse use of it than that of the time when the training band turned out to hear the “Declaration” read and reeled home at might heavily laden with “flip?” The precious docu- ment Js somewhat thirst-producing to the listener. ‘The dust gathers on it now, but if {ts immortal author were alive to sce he would not unlikely say that the modern way is best.

It is | @ great gain of its kind, though there may be a feeling that it has been dearly paid for in bloodshed. It may discontent some of “the little brown men/’ to reflect that they have less of actual liberty than the American colonists had when they defied King George. Such a reflection ‘is one of timely interest on this day whon - village orators recite our immortal covenant with our- selvee that all men are and of right ougut to be free and equal.

The greatest sleuth we have now, Sherlock Holmes, is an amateur, and his books may give them goed tips on orime de- tecting. The assault on Latimer was one of the most atrocious acts of burglary of recent record and the dis- covery of the criminal would be a great feat. A MISREPRESENTED MAN. If you have tears prepare to shed them, at the bidding of Inspector Cross, over “poor old John MoGurk”—Mo- Gurk of “Sutcide Hall.” Pity ‘the sorrows of thts poor old party, a confiding soul, fleeced out of thousands of #in- extorted dollars, as his friend Cross asserts, by unscru- ptlous blackmailers and left a shorn Jamb to the tender mercies of the wolves that plundered him! Though this pity is belated it is better late than never. There have been those who held McGurk up to obloguy because of bis dance hall, which to them was a den of debauchery. Jt was noteo, There the kind-hearted and much-misunderstood man provided a hospiteble home and haven for girls with whom the world had not gone well. He took a fatherly interest in these unfortunates, was solicitous always of their welfare and regardful of their good health. So far from being the dreadful person held up to popular reproach McGurk as the prize phil- anthropist of the Bowery. We have Oross’s word for it. It has been bis misfortune that fate has dealt unkindly with bimiin giving him the reputation by which the ‘world hasfalsely judged him.
