Yesterdny's generous uttendunce nt Athletic park shows thut the ntntise-incnt-lovlng Scranton public Is ready for another season of base bull. At the outset It may be well to Indicate the kind of ball plnvlng that Scrnntonlans will patronize. Men paid good salaries to perfoim before the public nre expected to keep In condition. Absolute uniformity In form may not bo possible and Is not demanded, but those who pay to HP'1 ball plajlng huve a tight to see good, hard, earnest wink, fiont the start of each game to Its finish. The player who shltks, who dissipates or who In trigues against his companions will this sear be a marked man. Players: who do their best, who "go for every thing" within their tetrltory nnd put im nnd snap Into their movements will be appreciated, tegatdless of cr tois. I'nors, when costly, ate moment ailly exasperating and audiences hae a habit of passing quick comment upon them, but honest p!alng survives. The day of faking on the diamond has passed. Scrantonians of the ball ciank vari ety ate well pleased with the team now beating the city's name. They me an ittliaotlvo looking lot of athletes and they have made n good beginning. Uy keeping the foregoing facta In mind they can finish Hip season with snlarles nil paid nnd money to spare In tho tieasuiy of the stockholders. The speech of General Meriltt laud ing Secietary Alger nt Detroit the other night proves that Merrltt is a born diplomatist. The Tioubles of n Doubter. The Piotestant Episcopal chinch, to which Itev. Dr. C. A. JiUggs has flown since he became lestlve under the re straints of Presbytetlan doctrine, scums scatcely less disposed to ordain as a shepherd of the flock one who Is not willing to lead the sheep alonu well-beaten paths than were the fol low eis of Calvin and Knox. In dea con's oiders, Dr. Urlggs Is not an au thorized teacher ot the church. It Is possible that llishop Potter, whatever may be his personal inclinations end however firm may be the pressute of piomlnent churchmen who fjvor Dr. Hrlggs, will scarcely provoke an open conflict at the altar by persisting In the ordination. The opposition as set ts that a sttenuous protest will bo offered dining the service which, ac cording to tho lltual, must be heard. It an attempt shall be male to fr.-cc the Issue to that point. Whatever may be the peisonnl belief in Di. Urlggs soundness of theology or the pioprlety of giving him full uu thotlty as a tecognlzed pi lest und teaehpr in the Episcopal church, theio remains a significant ttuth at the basis ot all the uigument for nnd against the higher criticism and that I.' that with lnxltv of chuithly discipline, of pioiioiinied oithodov belief, comes a bent of evils In which laxltj of motals Is pie-etnl-nent. In no sense Is It Intimated by this statement that the honest doubter, the sincere agnostic, the 'thinker who finds It haul to leconclle his peisonal views with modem deeds, is pi one to bo lax In his moiulf Hut It Is held that the teaching which tends to nn unsettling of the average mind, to the disturbance of the religious traditions of the masses, Is un ominous Inllucnee whose effect Is toward the demoralis ation of pute social conditions anJ the security of the best Intel ests In the community. It Is doubtful If Di. Hilggs In the etteme of his so-called "advanced thought" can find a plnce us exponent of any otthodox faith now es.1 itmit In the Christian ihuich. Ills bril liant Intellect nnd his accomplishments In many dhectlonrt may receive tin It full recognition, but he should not de mand that any church send him fotth to teach In Its name what Is not found In Its doctrines and what :s, In onio pattlculars, dhectly opposed to Its c'eatly cherished eieed.

The death of .Mis. Schuyler Hamil ton, Jr., by an overdoso of morphine tnken with the hopo ot allaylnc pain, le another examplo of tho nppalllup; ef fect ot contracting the druij habit. Tho case m question has caused nn outburst of reproach against druggistx, who, It Is asserted, neein to bo unrestricted In the snle of morphine, ns it can be ob tained with eufo lu almo.st any quar ter. The ltniedy for tho evil lies be yond tho druaglst. The responsibility tests not bo much with the victim who Is poon irresponsible nnd helpless, but with tho physician who pi escribes It frequently when the patient mlcht bet ter eilduio untold torture thnn secure alleviation of BiifferitiB nt such a fear ful cost. In eases without tvinibui tho habit Is acquired while the patient Is utterly unaware of the nutute of the medlclno prescribed. After Hie will Is btoken and the forco of iluiucler shat teted, no luwa or regulations nre strict enough to prevent the victim from ob taining; the drtis by Rome means and tho drusBlst can scarcely be blamed for tho demoralization which takes place, Many physlclnns refuse to thus lay the foundation for wiotchedness among their clientele, and either substitute something less Insidious and diingcrous In Iti effects tint lellcf by otli'M I effects thnn morphine or Induce neans. It Is a recog- nl7od fact that vvlill the majority of so-called opium fiends ate women, they endure pain with greater fortitude than do men, but women when once they have become Mctlms of tho drug habit have less power nnd detei initia tion to combat the appetite. Their chief safeguard Is In tho beginning when the physician protects them from future misery by leaving moiphlno out of the prescriptions.

It Is fortunate that cus-s of Infat uation of one woman for unother. such as that which cutined tho mur der and Hulclde at Stockton, Cal., the other day, are very rare. Instances of the Intimacy that prompts women to hurty to the neatest neighbor with a choice bit of gossip or tho Intelli gence concerning baby's first tooth ure haimless In their vvav, but vhn two women begin to assumo the attitude of lovers who cannot bo separated It Is evident that one or both should bo ptovlded with a Btralght Jacket, as a tingedy Is the almost Inevitable ie- Milt. As a uile those alllicted with this species of Insanity aie persons who have become morbid from the want ot occupation for mind and body. The humble woman who presides over the cottage, mixes dough and reads the dully newspapers Is invailably happier than the Indolent, petted ehid of foi tune who limits her toll to eatliuT.sleop ing.dwadllng or leading llcentluus pop ular novels of the day that', under the pietense of condemnation, or of being "historically correct," atouo nil the beastly Instincts of humanity. It Is better for any woman, married or single, whose fines are not .suPl clent to keep her mind o.cupied, to ride a bicycle, play golf, ittond base ball games or even bet on the r.icc3 than to pas3 houi.s of idlcners In the perusal of works of the modern novel ist or In day dicams of tlu Indolent that aie usually pieslded over by the dev II.

An effort will be mudo to go' an untl-lynchlng bill thiough the Geoijli legislature at Its next session. This mcasute, of couise, It not for the pur poso of making lynching a misdemean or, but simply to hurry up trlal3 and convictions In a manner that will give the mobs no opportunity to engage in their favorite pastime whenever a negio Is accused falsely or otherwise. The proposed bill provides for the lu.il within five dajs after an arrest of poi sons now punished by lynching, nnd, upon conviction, tho measure piovidcs foi a public hanging five days lnt Although it Is nut so stated, all will undeistund that the new law applies exclusively to negiops, White men accused of atrocious ct lines will prob ably bo ttied in the old way, f tried at nil.

S Quay next Di comber Ab wo nee the inattei, Ii phould be a point of honoi with all of them to Indori-e th governor of Pennsylvania in his rebuke to the hspocrltleul conspiracy agalnM Mr Quay. It will not do to hark buck to the Corbctt l.iho, tho Dupont case, or any other case in which the BCimte re fused to scat a governor's appointee The'te Is no painllcl to this catc ot Quay Mr. Quny was the victim of a mean und detestable combination, Inspired simply by hatted and base Ingratitude.

Tho minds of honest men were bewildered. 'Iho Inclinations of honest men were parnlvzcd Yet, uen In tho face of this wicked storm of anathema and vilification, Quays enemies could wring irom the leprtsentatlMS of iln people only the ngrcenu nt to withhold their votes pending n Judicial decision of the controversy. Ihero wns no aband onment of Quny. At no tlino did It ap pear that the majority had any othei choice. It wus not a question between Quay and any other aspirant. It wns merely a question of his Innocence or guilt. The temper of tho people of Penn. uylvunla was unmistakable. Quay was their choice, beyond all controversy. And now that tho abominable conspiracy has been bullied, now that the only obstacle to Quay's re-election has been removed, Is It conceivable that tho United Btutes hcnnte will refuse to confirm his vindi cation? Wo think not. Jack of fill Trades bar Master of On?. New York Commercial Advertiser. K H MliltlCANS, who have scant re spect for old sayings nnd pre cedents, preferring to make their moverbs fresh as they go along, to suit tho exigencies ot tho occasion, aro rapidly disproving tho truth of the old saving about Jack of all trades and master of none In the older coun tries arc men bi ought up from child hood to the occupation of their lives. Trades nnd ptofesslons descend from father to son, so that one limy say men are piedestlned carpenters or sail ots, or lawyers, or soldlets, or priests. In America n man knocks around the country at this trade and that, school tencher, shoemnker, cowbov, newspaper man, politician, burro driver, actor, futmer, shopkeeper, diplomat, or what not, till he gets mnrrled ana nnus out what ho likes best, or dies fiequontly that. With Kipling's tt anip-roj.nl, tho American knows that man must work, but that theie's "no reason man should labor 'Is life on one same shift; li'e's none so long." o Our system gives a man a klnl nt self-reliance, of Ingenuity, of adapta bility, which In the Inst war the Old World wondeicd at, culling It respect fully "the power of initiative." And this, If a man ever does settle down with his whole heart and soul to one Job, makes him pretty good at It. In deed, the American has found, as tho athlete knows, Hint the development of bis energies In any direction helps him In all others The disadvantage of this Is that it is apt to engender a love for new expetlencc which Is not satisfied with the slow theosophlc way of waiting for fresh Incarnntions, but wishes the expeilence of a le w Incar nation every year or two. o The name of Colonel Funston hat been seen ftequently of late In the despatches from Manila ns doing those things which most men vvou'd llko to ba able to say they had done. He is tho kind of mnii we like to think of ns typically i m He Is not spe cially endowed i i call. IJtslde the beefy Briton m tliu paunchy German ho would look a midget. The incau tious stranger meeting him on the street would not hesitate to elbow him out of the way. He weighs le than one hundred pounds and could stind under a Rtoadway policeman's .rms. Hut that drop of nervous force that Is said to enter Into tho make-up of ho American bejond others is two drps In Colonel Funston. o Colonel Funston has had a vat led career. He might savs In tho words of the poet who tells of such men ns he: "Hut, Gawd, what things are they I 'uven't done? I've turned to most, an' turned It good." He has reported, been conductor ot a train, prospected In Alaska, held up bad men of the west nnd fought In Cuba under 'omez. Once or twice he has considered his health ruined for life. That was when there was nothing to do When the need prose, the thoroughbred blood ir him answered, and he showed himself one of the liveliest corp3is that evir came to life again. o Colonel Funston Is one of those Mien for whom rules weie not made. The foreign attaches who -av our men storming fortified ledoubts unsupport ed by artillery said such things could not be done according to the rules of war. Hut men of this type of American haven't time to study rules. They aie too busy doing the Impossible things to stop and tudv oat v hether they nre doable or not Colonel Fun stons are not found ever day. But It Is our belief and our pildn to be lieve that the American system makes more of them than nny oilier, ihe Kansas editor who estimated that there are sevetal hundred thousand men of the same stuff In Kunsas may be over-sanguine, but he was prob ably speaking In general terms, not as a statistician. BETTER MARRIAGE LAWS. Prom tho Philadelphia Piebs. Tho mariiugo law Just passed by the Wisconsin legislutuio will rolleva that Mate of a dlscr.ico which has long at tached to It. 'Iho law Is ono of tho most btrtngent of the kind on the statute books of uny state. It requires persons wish ing to many to proem e a ceitlllcato ftom the e-ounty clerk live dajs before tho eeremonv takes place nnd to fclgn and verify a statement or take oath that they are of ago and that tlure is no legal Impediment to their marriage. If tho persons wlbhlng to marry are under the legal ago 21 years for tho male nnd IS jears for the female consent In per son or In writing of the parents or guar dians must be given, nnd If in writing it must be signed und verified by two witnesses. Heavy penalties are provided for thu clerk who Issues a certlflcato or the clergyman who marile.-. a couple con trary to the terms of tho law. Wisconsin hits long been known as tho Oretna Gteen of tho surrounding neigh borhood. Its mnrrlugo laws were tho loosest of any stuto in the Northwest No ccrtlllcuto wus demnnded and no proof us to whether thero wero any Im pediments to the marriage An one. resident or non-resident, could be mar ried for a fee Tho conscauenco wiib thut thousands of peoplo who did not care to comply with, the marriage laws of their own state, oi could not comply, hurried over tho border Into Wisconsin und were married by accommodating ministers or Justices of tho peace. Tho practice b.i came a beandnl ond a source ot trade nnd tralllc. Recently excursion boats running between Chicugo und Mllvvau kco have sold excursion tickets with a murriugo coupon attached as an In ducement to Sunday afternoon travel, while opposition bouts havo can led a clargvman abcatd to many any who de sired us soon as Wisconsin waters were reached. o Ine demornllilng consequences ot this liio"t und lndtscrlmlnats practice of man ning have been only too evident. A good shaio ot tho people wj murrjlng had no clear or udequate conception ot the results and responsibilities following the step they wero taking. They entered upon tl.e relation hastily inconsiderate ly nnd often us a Jo'e. Tho result was lifelong misery In many cases and a re sort to the dlvoice court in other cases .Vint iln' haim was not done ulone to ihe persons mumlng. Their relatives and frtfmls had often to share lu tho dls gruci und Ignominy which followed Koine icieut noted cases can bo cited, A daughter of Chief Justlco Puller of the Pulled States Supreme Court ran awuv lo Milwaukee nnd wus married by a us lU'o of tho nenco und n few tiers later h id to to to tho divorce courts to fron herself from irktomi- matrimonial bonds 'Ihu hasty mutt luge ot llobort T. Lin coln's daughtci wus another tllustiatlon of the facilities ofiered by tho Wisconsin laws and tho Milwaukee parsons, o The most discouraging fact of nil was that so-called ministers wero found In plenty to heln on and profit by these loose marriage practices. They wero umong the most vlgorems opponents of the new luw, Just as they weie of tho llcenso law in New Jersey, UUhop NIchoMon of Mltvvnukco bcp;nti a vigor ous wnr on the practice. Uut It needed putlenco nnd haul work and sevetal years of ureument to cdticato public sentiment up to a change. At last, how vir. It was accomplished, and today Wisconsin has a marriage law wMch many older stntus might copy with ad vantage. It will render Impossible tho hasty unions formerly pcnnitted nnd It surrounds mnrrlngo with greater safe guards than It bus even In the stnto of Connecticut. Proof of Greatness.
