VOLUME 48. «NO. 18,288. AN UMPIRE KILLED. At last an umpire has been killed. He has been threatened with death hundreds of thousands of times. Players have countless times “taken a swipe at him” endeavoring to “knock his block off.” Moba have swarmed from the bleachers hungry for his blood, and only the energy of the police has on numberless occa- sions saved him whole from the fury of fans. The post has ever been one of danger and discredit. Every close decision has been denounced by the players) who lost the advantage and was accepted by the favored | ‘one without enthusiasm as simple justice. In spite of the danger and discredit, Hank O'Days, Silk McLaugh- lns and—to adopt the metaphorical language of baseball writers—other knights of the indicator have continued to draw $10 a day, enduring blows and jeers with forti- tude, | But an umpire has “en killed. Edmondson is his mame. It was in the eignth inning. The score was tied. A runner and the ball reached home at the same instant. Bamondson called the runner safe. Sam Johnstone fired three bullets into Edmondson by way of protest. It is remarkable that Edmondson had an active par- tisan in the crowd. Johnstone was killed. Therein may Me the lesson of the episode, He who slays the umpire must himself be slain, or it is better to submit to a rank @ecision than ride in the first vehicle at a funeral, or he who shoots and hies away may be a fan another day, but he who shoots the umpire should be sure his own armor is impregnable. TOY-PISTOL DANGERS. Bxuberant youth has Been engaged in celebrating the birth of freedom for a month. The orgy of noise which began prior to Decoration Day has not ceased, although there have been periods of reduced violence. However, there seems to be one feature gratifying to all who love to see unmaimed children. The toy pistol is apparently m@bsent. Let it remain absent. Give us a glorious Fourth of July—a Fourth unsolled by toy-pistoled gore, a Fourth ‘with no record of tetanus to obscure its glory. ‘When one seeks for an excessive epithet applicable to a man of grosc instincts, the meanness of a miser and the greed of a ghoul, toy-pistol seer sounds weak and Inadequate until the facts are considered. Eleven children have died in Pittsburg within the month from lockjaw resulting from injuries inflicted by toy pistols. This is the record of one city where these | pistols are sold, and emphasizes the need for the strict enforcement in New York of laws forbiddng their sale. Only by continued vigilance can this dangerous play- thing be kept out of the hands of the inexperienced chil- @ren who should be protected from their folly. stant Attorney-General of the Philippines and the tion of another as a partner in a law firm certain * to have national prominence because of the leading part- mer’s political career are Incidents indicating the extent to which the study of the law {s prosecuted by the fair eex.

SKYSCRAPER APARTMENTS. ‘Mr. R. T. Bolton’s defense of the skyscraper at *he ‘Aldine Club disclosed the fact that there are 1,175,000 New Yorkers living in flats or apartments.

One of the speakors taking part in the discussion re- a” gretted the passing of the private house, with its com- . paratively low elevation. But has the resulting change of tenancy been disadvantageous to the tenant?

THE GIRL’ WHO MARRIES, nee Ie Usually a Far Happier Lot than That of the Woman with a ‘‘Career.’’ By Helen Oldfield. ROM the beginning, among all nations, marriage has been accounted as the chief end and aim of woman's existence; her primary mission in life, as that of wile and mother. Next to the love of a devoted husband whose affection, like the pure gold of the ring which symbolizes ft, only grows brighter with the passing of years, the love of her children is the sweetest gift which fate can bestow upon @ woman, The strongest advocates of marriage as the true vocation of all women cannot deny that there be some who have found blessedness outside of its pale—single women who have left the world the better for their work in tt. There ure some who are able not only to stand alone but to hold up others, who, mentally and morally strong, carve out @ career for themselves. Yet it is forever doubtful whether fame alone can satisfy the hunger and thirst of a woman's heart, and there is much truth in the saying that woman's work ts vain without the approbation of a man, says Helen olan in the cago Tribune, “In her first love affair woman loves her lover; 4n all the others what she loves is love.” Therefore, when a woman, not in love with any other man, marries a huaband whom she Mkes and thoroughly respects, and who ts devoted to her, sho almost invariably comes in time to love him dearly. Moreover, in any and all circumstances, it is, or ought to be, Joy to a wife to know that she is all in all to the husband whom she loves, the sunshine of his home. She cannot fail to find happiness in the coneciousness that her society is to him the greatest joy that the world affords, the all-suffigient recompense which he accepts as satisfaction for all his labors and for every trial. Can she be miserable while his true heart beats with joy at her smile, while her voce can dlepel the gloom of his darkest momer while his chief pleasure in toll fs to lay its results at her feet? Nor should she ever fail to remember that the happiness and well being of ber household depend mainly upon her example. Her all-abound- Ing charity, which more nearly approaches the love of God the Father than does aught else upon earth, her self-denfal, her patience, her truth and her piety will not fal] df good frutt. For, after all, there is no better epitaph which can be placed upon a woman's tombstone than that which has down to us from the wise man, as embodying the encomium: “Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her.’’ if LIPTON LIMNERICKS, Sir Thomas is here with bis yacht, Computing the chance he has gaclit But bank on our word ‘That Shamrock the IIT. ‘Will find itself done up a lacht.

The worst of all the jokes on Lipton— A joke so many wits have tripton— Is the impulse to “Hip, Hip, hooray’ at the “slip That comes betwixt the cup and Lipton.” ‘Tribune, WHERE ARE THE LITTLE WOMEN? ‘There is no disguising the fact—the modern woman is tall, and the little woman of former days has completely faded out of sight. You have only to cast your eye around at any, public gathering and you cannot fail to perceive that the average height of the modern maid is somewhere about 6 feet 10 inches. ‘Take any assembly, such as a theatre, and you cannot fall to percetve the enormous altitude which has been at- tained by her royal highness woman and her increasing dig- nity of deportment. If a woman was tall in early Victorian days she used to try to conceal her height; sho would wear a little flat bonnet and a shawl and take the arm of the man she was walking ‘with, stooping !f she were taller than he. It was the fashion in those days for the women to be drooping and die-away, just as it was correct later on for them to be tiny and frivolous. ‘What has become of the little woman who used to shake her ringlets and say that she couldn't understand figures? What has become of the child-wife, with her poodle and her guitar and her total inability to grasp the rudiments of arithmetic? “Little was the greatest term of endearment in the days of Dickens and Thackeray, and ‘just as high as my heart” was the favorite description of the diminutive. But the tiny woman has gone out of fashion in fiction, and she seems to have almost disappeared from the world. HOW IS YOUR RECORD?
