olSUNDAY THOUGHTS MORALS si" MANNERS

XT A CT.HHOTMA. There continnei to be a great deal of clatter in cburch circles about "reaching the ma.MBea." 'Tia epoken of as though it 'were the most difficult of undertakings. The ecclesiastical quid nanca chake their heads oTer it, cry "ahem," and look as wise as ther are foolish. All the same it is the easiest thing in the world to reach the masses. How? Jnat by making them perceire that you want to reach them. They are being reached erery hoar of Tery day in one interest or another. The butcher reaches the masses. The baker reaches the masses. The grocer reaches the masses. The saloon reaches the masses. The theater reaches the masses. Of the founder of Chr'stianity it is recorded that "the common people heard him gladly." And the apoetles, too, got the ear and touched the heart of the people. So did John ÄVeeley ; so did Sturgeon ; so do Talmage and Moody and ten thousand more. Certain churches do not reach the masses. "Why? Thy do not wiph to. They live in seclusion and exclusion. As in politics certain men esteem themselves too good to belong to either party, po in religion the lime it pen tufuu iucuurcu ui wio uuii . ... i .i i. w - t ik. : mugwump. I hey get up "corners 11 saints and other "corners" in 6inners. They cultivate the clashes and pend th j masses to the mission chapel in Pauper's alley. Of course cl.t?s churchta do not roach the masses. The people know: when and where they are wanted. Hnce we fay that the difficulty about reaching the masses is eeif-created. The lamentation over it is a l'eckanitlian snivel. "When we recognize the immortal worth of every human soul and realize that Christ loves all, died for all, rose for all, lives for all and makes provision for all, then the difficulty referred to in the above paragraph will vanish like a nightmare at daydawn. Our human distinctions are an imperceptible wrinkle on the turface of the earth from the attitude of genuine Christianity. Viewed from that lerene hight, the elates are lent in the masses and the hunibleet looms like Mt. 2ianc. A colored preacher bungled over the line in Cowper's fatuous hymn, "Juige sot the Lord by feeble peine," and made it read, "Judge not the Lord by feeble saints." Christianity is not to be judged by feeble saints. We have a right to chooe onr type; and we prefer to be judged by stalwart saints rather than by the forcible, feeble worshipers in the church of fct. Sinner a la mode. A celebrated judge in an eastern city of 200,000 inhabitants told the local grand jury a day or two ago that 30 per cent, of the persons charged with petty larceny, highway robbery and offenses of this character, were under eighteen years of age; () per cent, were betwixt eighteen and twenty-three, and oniy 10 per cent, were over twenty-three. 'Tis probable the tame proportion holds in all large towns. What an amazing facti Here, then, is the field which the church should cultivate. Save the younf? and tomorrow is saved. The denizens of the crime-in-tested sections are to be snatched from teril aa the board of health quarantines a quarter where plague ragee. Children ought to be saved from the etTecta ot heredity and environments and can be if taken in time, i'ut, as the late Mr. echer u-ed to pay, you can't make saints at the adult end of life as fat a? the devil can breed sinners at the childhood end. Well, then, breed sainta at the childhood end. One meet effective way of saving the young from crime ia by a careful puperviaion of the literature on which they are educated. Wbole-iome reading makes honorable men and women. Pernicious books make th ievttH and harlots. We are ferpuaded that a chief caue of the prevaence of crime among the young ia the dime novel. TareTita, teacher? and magistrates should watch this pet day without night and exterminate it. Is crime weakness or wickedness? Are criminals to be petted or punished? If, as some thinkers contend, crime is mere weakness, and not sin; if criminal re unfortunate and irresponsible victims of hereditary tendency and bad environment, and not willful and wicked transgressors: if God's law and man's law are alike at fault in pronouncing crime to be sin, and criminals to be sinners; if bad is only unripe good, and night is nothing but day undressed why, then we should abolish the decalogue, revolutionize the statute book, burn up the dictionary, call old cat pusy, say our prayers backward, put sane fo.ki in the insane asylum, and tarn loose the lunatics and entrust them with the task of reconstructing society on the new lais of moral and civil chaos. On the other hand, if the decalogue and the statute book and trie dictionary and the sane people have the right of it crime should be sternly repressed and criminals should be severely dealt with. Thr are two accredited and recognized tests of criminal responsibility. What are they? First, a knowledge of right and wrong. If an offender lacks tiii i knowledge ho mtty be shut up for the protection of society, but he m not intentionally guilty, ilia incarceration would be diicip.ir.arv, not retributive. The second test is the power to resist a morbi'J ana unlawful impulse. Though we know the difference between right and wrong and yet had no ability to resist a wrong inclination he wouM not be criminal in his trangrs.fion. He, too, should be shut up but in an insane retreat rather than in a jail. Where the knowledge and the power to rotist co-exist in the law-breaker we find the criminal. And tie deserve to drink the bitter but whole some medicine of the penalty in such caae made and provide 1 to the dres. Symptoms of affection are as various as disposition! and temperaments But it does seem odd that a young lady should how her regard for a fellow by lapsing into silence wheoever he appears or by laughing at and ridiculing him, or by an assumption of fngid indifference glacial as the north pole. Hut then "gals is odd critters naughty but nice. The prayer which does not lead to action ft vox et pretorea nihil Every case should be decided on its own merits. Most canes are so decided, with a proper leaning on the part of judges and juries toward the side of mercy. But merer sbonld not be suffered to run to teed in entimentaliim. Court i and the police exist to protect the public, not to safeguard crime and criminals. .In a civilized community women and children ought to feel safe in leaving-

the house without an armed bodyguard. Public opinion is bound to insist upon such an enforcement of the law as shall secure protection ana insure life and property. Otherwise let all restraints be removed eo that everybody may be free to defend himself and his belongings under the old lex talionis, and to cry with the Scotch highland chief: "Pent la this fortra of the North. Tbink.t thou wi.l not a'.ly lurti To jpoll the spoiler n we mar. And irom the robbr rend his prej." A civilization which binds the lawabiding hand and foot and frees the lawless (by non-enforcement of law) to pillage and kill is worse than anarchy. Circumstances are powerful. But man is stronger than circumstances. American history in its most splendid pages is the proof. How much help from circumstances did Hen Franklin have? Heredity and environment were both again-1 the late William H. Marcy when he began life as a "gutter snipe." Lincoln and Garfield fought and conquered circumstances. In active life today there are scores of thousands of unillu.trious heroes who began with every disadvantage. They inherited excessive propennities from their ancestors. They were not brought ud, but as Charles Lamb said, kicked up. In the poneeeeion of an unhappy constitution, in an unfortunate surrounding, they nevertheless addressed themselves, in a lifelong struggle, to the work of self-recuperation. "They did battle with those friends of evil disposition incarnated in their person; cut olf, one after another, the hydra-heads of each monster appetite and pae?ion; applied a cautery of red hot iron to the Quivering llesh of every wound, and held it there until the living fiber was crLped too deep to allow

lile ever to spring from it again.

Mr. 1'eecher once remarked that Mr. Spurgeon owed his popularity no more to his Caivinixm thmi a earned owed its excellence to its hump. "Well," replied tho London preacher, "tho lump ia a store of (at on which the canud lives on a long journey, and its value, therefore, depends entirely upon its hump." This retort was extremely clever. One of the foremost astronomers of Great Britain, fir Robert Ball, after a careful scieutitic consideration of the resources ot the earth and sun, places the crack of doom between four and live millions of years in the future.

That there are euch natural limitation! is not denied, but the claim is justly made, lirkt, that these can only be determined in a condition ot freedom ; and cecocdly, that they can only be rightly determined by tho will of women tlirnavlres. Hut as women come nearer and nearer freedom there is naturally an increasing tendency on their part to diFCUea in advance theno possible limitations, and to debate, with more or less of candor, at what line they are to be drawn. The claim that women have not the leisure for political action, for instance, is not a very aerioun one. A woman can inform herself quite as well upon political questions while rocking her baby's cradle aa her husband while tending a loom or watching the "ticker" on 'change. TerhapH she can do it butter. It is not in connection with suffrage, but with abnorbing professional occupations, that the chief questions will arise, and the dillicultiee be moat likely to occur. Curiounly enough, tne profession now most gener ally recognized as fitting, lor women that of medicine is that in which the chief suspicion of a natural limitation seems to display itself.

THE FIRST BASE BALL GAME.

IT WAS PLAYED IN NEW YORK FORTYSIX YEARS SINCE.

Copyright Today is the forty-fifth anniversary of the first match game of base ball ever played. The contest in question took place at Hoboken, J., on June 19, 1S4G. The game had originated nearly nine months before. It had gradually grown out of the old English school boy game of rounders. Like man, according to the Darwinian theory, base ball is the result of evolution. Rounders gradually "evoluted" into "town ball." In the latter sport instead of bases there were "corners." These wore unattended, and runners were put out by being hit with the ball, which was thrown directly at them by the fielders. The ball used was necessarily much softer and emaller than the base ball of today. "Unlike the rubber, yarn and leather spheres now in vogue it waa composed wholly of rubber. In the days of which I write a number of New York gentlemen were in the habit cf assembling on a vacant lot, then along way out of town and now covered by the Madison square garden, every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon to play town ball. At length üome of them began to thinic that certain modifications would greatly improve the sport. Numerous informal discussions took place and it was finally decided to adopt the changes proposed. Among these were the eubstiution oi bases lor "corners," the adoption of a hard ball with a rubber center wound with yarn and covered with leather, the placing of men to guard the bases and having the ball thrown to them instral of direotlv at the bate runner. It wiia also decided to change the namo of tho sport from town ball to bae ball, on account of the bases forming eo important a feature of it. Birth of tha Garaa. On Pept. 23, 1845, the gentlemen who had decidod upon these changes formed themselves into an association to which they gave the namo of the Knickerbocker bae ball club, at the same time adopting the changes above named in tho game of town ba.l, and voting that their new game should thereafter be known by the name of base ball. Thus oar national same was born, and on the 23d of next September it will be forty-seven years of age. It has undergone innumerable chanees and modifications during tho long period that has elapsed since its birth, but it is doubtful if it has thereby boon made any more enjoyable aa a sport pure and simple. Like weddings, one baso ball club brings many, and soon there were a number of these afociations in and around New York, and the first match game above mentioned as having taken place on June 1!, 1S4'1, was between the Knickerbocker and New York clubs. It consisted of only four innings, the rule then being that the club firt makitig twenty-one runs in even innings was the winner. The gradual growth of b&se ball from New York to other parts of the country was yery slow, thougli to their credit be it said that one or two of the metropolitan papers did all in their power to foster the sport. Thin was notably tho case with the New York Sundvj Mercury, whoso propritor, Mr. William Cauidwell, did fo much in this direction that be may not inaptly bn styled the father of the game. Town ball continued to be played in other parts of the country and it votaries st-emud reluctant to substitute base ball for it. It is remarkable that base ball was not introduced in Philadelphia, only ninety inilm from New York, until ISiIO, fifteen years alter its birth. In that venr the Olympic club of the (uaker city, which had been organized in is:: to play town ball and hud done so ever since, decided to thereafter play base bad instead. Tho first match gamoot baseball in Philadelphia did not take place till June 1 1, lvi, and was between the Lquity and Winona ciubs. Tl Gmtia In th Weal. A striking proof that westward the Ptar of baso ball, as well as that of empire. wend it.i way is found in tho fact that the first match game of the national sport in San Francisco took place, on Feb. lMl'l, three months prior to the first match in l'hi adelphia. I'.axe baü wai not played In the New Kngland state until some five or six years after its origin and then only in such modified form that it wr.s known as the "New Kngland anio" to distinguish it from the game played by the New York clubs. The originators of our national game were gentlemen who played base ball merely for recreation, and would have held in very low esteem any man who had sought to transform it into a buines or means of gaining a livelihood. It was their intention as well as that of other generations of enthusiastic ball players who followed them that base ball should be purely a gentle man's game. Aa cluba multiplied throughout the country it became necessary to es tablish tome general organization, having authority to control and regulate the in terests of the sport, to niak eucn changes in the plaving rules as might from time to time become necessary, and in every possible way to protect and improve our national sport. To meet this necessity there was formed the National association of base ball players, in which auy club was entitled to membership, with the privilege of sending delegates to tho annual meet ing. The playing rules adopted by this organization were the standard ones for the game, and were respectod and adopted bv all cluba whether members of the asso ciation or not. Almost tho first rule adopted by this national association was one positively debarring from membership and rendering liaoie to expulsion any club in which thero was a man who dared base ball for hire or emolument o! any kind, the object being to make and keep the sport puroly a gentleman's game. Ppla.rttr f Haaa Ilall. The result of this was that base ball flourished between the years 18M and 1871 to an extent that has cevr been known before or since. The number of clubs was literally legion and in every large city a great number of matches were played daily. The grounds were usually upon some vacant lot or common and ware free to all, no admission being charged. As a consequsnce the crowds at these contests were enormous, from 10,000 to 20,000 people being by no means an unusual attendance. In the city of Alleirhsny alone, from which I now write, there were five different base ball grounds within a stone's throw of each other and scarcely a dav passed dur ing the base ball season that there waa not

In view of these facts it ia remarkable to Gnd Mr. William I'wmg, captain of the New York league club, paying in a recent newspaper article: "In this country hundreds of games are played now for every one ten years ago." I do not think it would be any exaggeration to say that twenty-five years ago at least two hundred games were played for every one that is played now. Itase ball is unquestionably in its decadence, and has been ever einco professional base ball players were first openly recognized and professional playiug permitted. The eport received its death-blow as a pure, healthful recreation, an invigorating, muscular exerciso and a welcome relief from the cares and toils of the daily avocations of men and boys of all classes when it ceased to be a gentlemsn's game. Amateur games the only kind then known such as twentv-five years ago drew immene crowds of the friends and neighbors of the participants, are scarcely ever played now. The only way our young men participate in bsse ball nowadays is to pay fifty conto or ono dollar for the privilege of watching others play. A quarter of a century ago a base ball club was an organization of gentlemen for recreation and exercise simply. Now it is a corporation soulles like all corporations with no object savo to make as much money as possible out of the hired players who perform their parts like a company of actors. ! Hall m FroNnton Now. The encroachment of the professional base ball player was gradual. The rivalry between cluba soon became so great that in order to strengthen itself and win victory over some rival each would leave nothing undone to secure the best players. Thus "inducements" were held out to men who had shown an unusual aptitude for the game to inlluence them to plav only with a particular club. A wealthy trwiitleman, far instance, desiring to seo Ids club in tho front rank, would oiler some young man of rare ball-playing ability a position in his business or counting-house with a private understanding that his commercial duties were merely nominal while bis real ones were to play base ball. Thus there wer numerous clubs in the country which were virtually professional ones, long before professional p ayiti was npmily permitted and while the stringent law ftgainst it was still ill force in the code of the American association. This won notably the caso with those famous old-tinn opponents, the At. untie club of New York and Athletic of I'hiUde phia. liy 1,71 professional clubs had attained su h numbers and inlluence that in New York on March 17 of that year a convention of delegates from thos ork'ani.ation opeuly avowed themselves professionals and cut hose from tho National a-sociaticn of basr ball p ayers.

Championship contests had previously been who ly unregulated. Tif Fits' Clitiiptonl.tp Jm. The ba-e hull championship originated about 1SÖS, when picked New York and Itrooklyn nines played tho so-called "fashien course games," New York winning the first and third by '22 to 13 and '2) to 18 respectively, while Brooklyn took the second by JU to 8. From that time til! the adoption of the forcoin championship rules by the professionals whatever club won two games outof three from the then champion club became champion in turn. From the organization of professional clubs in 1S71 amateur base ball playing steadily declined, lientlstutu no longer seemed to care to personally engage in a sport which had been made a business. The game gradually came to be looked upon as a money makimr scheme instead of an amuiiug recreation and healthful exercise in which all bhould participate. Ilia Nt4n.l LMn, The proff seional club association of 1871 was succeeded Feb. 2, 1870. by the National league formed iu New York City by the following professional clubs: National of New York, St. I ami is. Athletic of l'hüadelphia, Chicago, Hartford, Boston, Cincinnati and lxmisville. During its f.ret year the league was the only organization of the kind, but on Feb. 1'0, 1S77, in Pittsburg, Pa., theTecumseh club of London, Out., Maple Leaf of Gulph, Ont., Allegheny of Allegheny, Fa,, Live Oak of Lynn, Maps., Buckeye of Columbus, 0., Iiochester, N. Y., and Manchester, N. H., formed an international league. In the same year thirteen professional and eemi-profeisional clubs formed the league alliance, of which nothing has boen heard since 1S82. The International association was succeeded on Feb. 19, 1870, by a new organization called the National association, which expired peacefully two years later. Cincinnati, O., was the birthplace of the American association, and Nov. 2, 1881, was the birthday. It comprised the Allegheny, Athletic of Philadelphia, Ualtirnore,Cincinnati, Eclipse of Louisville and H. Louis clubs. Beside the leaf us named, there have been countless others formed at various times in ditlerent parts of the country, but many of them have had only an ephemeral existence. The National league and the American association are two great representative associations of nrofesaional players, and have been such

ever since their first organization. The players' league, or "Brotherhood," is an episode of too recent occurrence to require more than the briefest mention. Why tha Gam Iaellnad. It is not alone the recognition of professional players which ia responsible for the present decadence of base ball, for the fact that 5,000 people is now considered an immense attendance at a game, while a quarter of century ago 10,000 and 20,000 were not uncommon, and for the abandonment of the sport as a recreation by those whose muscles most need its Etimulating exercise, the changes and socalled improvements (V) in the game are also largely to blame. Take pitching for example. The old rule required the pitcher to actually pitch the ball, and at the moment of delivery his hand must be below his waist. The" word "pitcher" is now wholly a misnomer, for the ball is no longer pitched, but thrown to the bat. Formerly, "in the good old days," the pitcher was required to pitch the ball just where the batsman wanted it. The latter could call for a ball "shoulder high." "hip high," ' knee high" or "a low ball," the last named being a ball between tho knee and the ankle. Now he rnu?t strike at ny ball that goes over the p'ate. Curtailing the rights of the batsmen and giving more license to the pitcher was done solely with the intention of reducing scores to a minimum. This has tended to gratiy diminish the popularity of base ball. Ciood batting and ba.ae running are the most attractive features of the eport, and games where man after man retires at. the home plate on strikes and short Hies or at first base on feeble tins to the infieldurs, resulting in -scores of nothing to nothing, one to nothing and two to four are simply wearipoine. To have the bases kept filled with runners and to see run after run scored not by fielding errors, but by cood batting and base-running would draw twenty people to every one now attending baso bail games. Some idea of the old time intare&t. and attendance may be gained from the fact that at a game between the New York Atlantic's and the Philadelphia athletics in Philadelphia on Oct. 1, lSot'., the attendance inside and outside the gtjund, the neighboring house tops being covered with people, was estimated at 40,000. Though then as now an admission fee of 60 cents was charged for each spectator, the immense crowd within the (rates so encroached upon the field that p'av had to be stopped and the game postponed after the first inninur.

WOMAN TO THE FRONT. Her Advanesmant and Kelatlonshlp ta Man tuil the 1'arlud. Ideas flood the world. Prominent is that of woman. In all ages ehe has been looked upon as subordinate to "the lords of creation," styled the weaker vessel, and treated accordingly. As civilization and Christianity advanced she also did, developing her innate talent, until now, in this nineteenth century, she competes with man as his equal in all departments of life. Her natural intuition stands her in place of reason, and what man lacks she supplies. Side by side with him ehe stands. his compeer in intellectual pursuits and attainments. In the professions, theology, medicine, and law, in art, education, science, decorative work, designing, 'iterature, homemaking, as missionary, explorer, navigator, in merchandise, inventor, in mechanics, you find her "to the front." Her inlluence is felt and acknowledged, and it is no longsr "ft shame for a woman to e peak in public," or considered ignoble by the stronger sex to vie with her for the honors and emoluments of life. This century, so replete with inventions, so progressive in improvements, has done much for her. Compare her condition with that of a century ago. What a difference! Prejudice has vanished, advantages given, encouragement also, until she has mounted the steps to the temple of fame and taken her stand with the noblest and highest iu the world. In politics, too, she has now n voice. What a responsibility is hers! What an opportunity she has for doing good! For inculcating purity of thought and action, enduring, bearing, sympathizing, entering into new lieldd where her npntu ie makes her prer-ence sacred.
