The unseemly wrangle of rival factions
among war veterans at Oakwood Cemotery in
Chicago yesterday wsh disgraceful iu tho ex.
tromo. Mo words of reprobation are suffl.
ciently strong with which to characterize tho
conduct of the brawling mon who dishonored
the gTavos of their fallen comrades.
On a day when the hearts of the people are
mellowed by the memory of the herolo deeds
of the Nation's defenders, and vie with each
other in showing reverence for tho patriot
dead, what could bo more shocking than n
show of Angry resentment and petty feuds
among those whose graves, all too soon, will
call for tho garlands of Hpringtimo, as they

It is to be hoped that thero will never again

Tho strongest, sternest men frequently love
babies. President lUrrisou, who is nothing
if not stern and determined, Ih very fond of
his grandchildren. There's Benjamin Har
rison McKca, full of romp. When tho Presi
dent gets tired of the ofilce-seekers no often
slips out of his office, puts on bin drcsiing
pown and slippers and bteals off to tho nur
sery, where Benjamin Harrison MoKce im.
mediately sets up a shcut of delicht. While
Mary Dodge McKeo is only nine months 61 d
she has seen a cood deal of life, and she
seems to know her crauilfather. Marthena
Harrison is fifteen niouthtt old. Her mother
is Mm. Itutsell Harriaon. Marthena's crand
motbor, after whom she is named, is as foud
of her as tho Frcsident in of Benjamin Harri
son McKce.
Thero aro great times iu tho nursery vi hen
Grnndpapa Hnrriaou breaks in. Cries aro
stifled and turned to laughter, and with Ben
jamin Harrison McKee crawl I nc up his back
and Mury Dodge McKeo on one kuee and
Martbeua Harrison ou the other, the Preal
dent has his hands full. He sines, dances
tho babies and yells at youug Benjamin when
he (Hills his grandpapa's whiskers.
It's a great transformation to bee the Presi
dent at 1 o'clock, shaking bauds with a crowd
of strange people-, nnd then to see him two
hours later, in drebHing-gowu nud slippers,
with the babies pulling his whiskers and
crawling between his leus, while youug Den-
iaiuiu wan making IiIh grandfather shake
muds. The little man who has been so hard
to fathom and whom nobody is able to
haudlo is a slae to tho babies. Ho docs
whatever they want blm to do. Lout Bum
mcr, when tho President was receivng dele,
gates and others at hlx Indianapolis home, if
ho did not begin to shako bauds at once, lit'
tie Benjamin Harrison McKee would aolzo
his criiud papa's hand and motion for him to
go through that ceremony with his visitors
Graudpapii Harrison always takes Benja
min's part aud helps him tight his battles.
Little Benjamin is indulged by his grand
father iu everv way, while (irandmainuia
Harrison la ery iiHlulcent with little Mary

Thero will bo more strawberries under tho
sugar island in his sea of cream at to-morrow's
ovcntldo meal, nnd tho shortcake will
blush at its own honesty,
Strawberries?
More than a million quarts of the luscious
fruit will bo put where they will do tbe most
good in this town during the uoxt twenty
lour hours.
And they will be cheap enough for almost
anybody, for the receipt from tho strawberry
country will be more than twice as much to
morrow morning as they hao been any other
day this season.
A steamship is now on its way from Norfolk,
and all Virginia, Maryland, Dolawaio and the
Carolluasaie doing their beBt to satisfy tbo
appetito ot this city for shortcake, strawberry
Iiuddings, ico-crcams and other concoctions
laving the juicy rod berry for their basio in
gredient. And. for n couple of weeks at least, thero
ought to be a plenty of tbo fruit at reasona
ble prices and reasonable basketB reasonably
well filled, for the Now Jersev crop is In pood
reuort from Monmouth. Middlesex and other
, counties, nnd they will join with the Hudson
Hirer counties of this Bute in feeding New
York with strawberries and hooping her full
for a fortnight.
The marketmrn say that thero will be 10
cent berries to-morrow, and they will be loss
than that afterwards for n few days, always
excepting the fino, arlstocratio strawberries
blessed with a new namo nnd good adver
tising. Following close upon tho strawberries will
come one of tho most plentiful raspberry
sessons for monv vears. 1 tie liramiywines
and tho Cuthberts have douo flnoly In New
Jersey this season, and the yield will be pro
lific; while tho blackberry Hcationx nrcsaid
to bo in prospect uf an uuusimlly large crop.
But cherries, thoso lusty twisters of the
youthful stomach, are not iu excellent
fighting condition. In many parts of this
State thero will bo literally no cherries, save
of tho commoner arieticM.
There was u wealth of blossoms nt the
opening period, bnt tho oold rains which
havo fallen throughout the State at intervals
during tbo Spring aud tho slight touches of
frost dampened ind chilled the energies of
the trees, nnd the incipient cherries have
fallen in showers. Icnvino-onlv a few bardv
brothers to ripen on the trees.
In Westchester County nud a'ong tho valley
of the Hudson tho tornado of two weeks ago
stripped many treox, hut in Now Jorsev the
crop will bo a good ono.
Those who " keep oases " on tho cherry
crop say that there will bo a two.thlrds crop
in the sections supplying this market, .which
will bo hotter than last year's supply, cud tho
growers will bunch their hits.
The Virginia, Delaware and Maryland fniit
begun to arrivo yesterday, and tbe JorRey
oberrlesaro ripening fully ten days earlier
than usual, so that Jersey nnd Pennsylvania
will compete with thoir Southern sisters for
a week or ton days, nnd New York will look
on judicially aud eat tbo oyster, while the
contestants get the shells; for though compe
tition is tbo lifo of trade, it is death to high
prices, and cherries will bo cheap for n brief
season aud then from about Juue 20 thore
will be no cherries at all.
All that is needed to bring about this slate
of plenty is n few warm, sunny days, and no
more, cold raiiiB aud chilly nights.

floor, which was nuco littered with his books
and papers when ho was still able to move
aronud nnd dovoto himself to his literary
woik, aro now kopt spruce nnd tidy, and tho
few tiooks which ho can now read, although
they aro handy to his chair, nro kept in good
order by his housekeeper.
Ho is accustomed to sit in his chair, wrapned
in blankets, although on tho mild Spring days
he throws the covering from his shoulders.
Then the wide open shirt-collar which is so
familiar to all those who know him falls aside
and lays bare tho brown, hairy throat and
upper chest.
But It is tho noble bead, so massive and
full. proportioned, with its halo of silvery,
silken hair falling in long.soft locks from tho
high, rounded coronal, instlct with life and
thought, that most impresses tbe visitor,
Tho wblto beard so singularly clear, and
pure and silken in aspect nnd texture makes
nobly venerable the strongly masculine
moulded features. Tho arched oye-brows
are also white liko bows of driven snow, and
beneath them smoulder tho wondrous gray
eyes.
Although in bis present enfeebled and
crippled condition ho can do but littlo work,
ho ennnot completely abandon bis habits of
Industry, and when ho is feeling brighter
than usual be will somotimos take up tho old
tiBks. Ho feels, however that his working
days nro over, and as ho himself pathotically
says;
"' I just sit hero and wait. What else can I
do?"
Walt Whitman was born at West Bills, Suf.
folk County. L. I., May 31. 1810. During
his boyhood ho attended tho publio schools
in Brooklyn and New York, and thero ob
tained bis education.
At nn early ago ho learned the printers'
trnde aud worked nt thiBdurins the Suuimor,
whilo ho taught school every Winter. In the
years of 1847 snd 1818 he made a very exten.
sivo tour through tho United States and Can
ada, roughing it everywhere, aud in this
way acquired a vast amount of information
and uxporience, which he afterwards utilized
in editing newspapers in Now Orleans and
Huntiugton, L. I.
Ho tired of this, however, although ho was
always writing, and devoted himself to tbo
carpenter's trado in Brooklyn. Iu 18.55 he
published the first edition of "Leaves of
Grass," which created such a sensation in
literary circles.
Fivo editions of this work havo been pub
lished, to each of which numerous additions
wro mado by the poet. IUb "barbaric
yawp," as it was called at first, excited only
ridicule, but ho afterwards found a host of
friends and admirers among tho shining lights
of the lilorarv world.
Ho claimed to inaugurate " an original
modern style," aud nnnouueed himself as
the poet of tho Democracy. Ho says: "Wo
must fouud our own imaginative literature
nnd poetry, and nothing merely copied from
and followintfthe feudal world will do. I dis
miss without ceremony all tbe orthodox accou
tiemeuts, tropes, iaberdnhery ot words, feet
measures that lorm the entire to;k in trade
of the rhyme talking heroos ami heroines. My
metro Is loose and free, the lines aro of in oc
ular length, apparently Ian less nt first
iicrnsal. but on closer aoqualntcnce you will
lud that there is regularity, like the occur,
anco, for example, of tbe leaser and larger
waves on tbe seashore, rolling in without
intermission,; nnd fitfully raising and fall
ing "
From 18C2 to 1B65 Walt Whitmon was a
voluntee nurso iu tbe military camps of
Washington nnd Virginia. Ho filled a govern
ment clerluhlp in Washington from 1865 to
1874, nud while ho was a Dennrtmout olerk he
lived lu the nttla chamber of an old-fashioned
houto opposite tho Treasury, where tbe
Corcoran Art Guliory now Mauds.- Ho was
taken there when am stricken with paralysis
Iul873.
Siuce 1871 he has lived bore In tbe plain
littlo frame oottnge ou Mlcklo street, and for
year tbe children have been familiar with
tho big armchair ot the poet and his plo.
turesque, kindly face in its framework of
flowing white balr at the front window.
During the last year bis absences have been
numerous, illness confining him to his bed
for loug intervals) but now during the warm
days of the approaching Summer he is seen
more regularly at his familiar post.

Tho baudsomo llnrlein turn.outs which
used to stand at the Ono Hundred and Sixth
street station of the Third Avonuo FJovatod
Hallway, aud convey tho luxurious admirer
of baHolmll to the Polo Grounds for 10 cents,
have been out of a job thus far this season.
As an Evenino World reporter wandered
that way on a recent afternoon, a
venerable white horse, which had once
exercised daily botwoon tho station nnd the
Polo Grounds, supported by tho shafts of tho
hack, stood hitched to an ash-enrt, without
oven the passing compliment of a red-hairod
girl. He was a faded rello of the hack line.
No nierr.v jingling of glasses came from tho
saloon which used to do business on tho
corner.
'Iho only people in Ono Hundred and Sixth
street which was n great thoroughfare when
nil roads led to the Polo Grounds were n
paralytic who was out for an afternoon stroll
in un armchair on wheela, and a blind man
who was being piloted by a whimsical and
occeutrio dog.
The reporter walked through tho once busy
street, romewbat awed bv itB loneliness. Tho
grass was springing up through tho cracks in
the pavement.
Except for tbe somowtmt stony chnracter of
tho cobblestone pavement, the stroot itself
might bo u.clully put to raising buckwheat.
Travel has little lurther use for it,
A genial raloon-keeper sat asleep in front of
a beer saloon on Fifth avenue, within a
stone's throw of tho Polo Grounds. The
spiders were weaving n web over his bottles.
The ants were p'aying baseball on the card
table t with crumbs of pnmperniokel. Ihe
slate over the counter looked like a faded
arar card.
There wero no ticket speculators in front
of tho Polo Grounds. No clutters of specta
tors bung breathlessly to tbe telegraph poles,
tntorest in tho game had spurred no one to
ascend where he might take the score, as it
were, from tho wires. No keen-eyed urchin
was trying to look through the double-board
fence.
A basobail enthusiast, standing where the
thoroughfare out its way through tbe
grounds Irora east to wost, said :
' Soe what a rent tho envious Street Com
misioner inadn."
Tbe fence had been torn down on the east
and went sides of tho grounds. The rest of
the fnuco.the bleaching-boards and tbo grand
stand were left stauding.
Tramps were quietly asleep on the bleach-ine-boards
and Harlem goats were gambol
ling about tbo ball grounds.
There was n tin can on second base, and n
goat stolo tho base. A goat was smiling in
the box where smiling Mickey Weloh used
to send the ball curving nud hissing over the
homo plate. Two or three coats wero mean
derma about the field, and one of them was
fielding n trump in far left field.
Three tramps were "working tho growler"
in the praud stand. A tramp was sitting in
Gov. Hill's box.
A score of urchins were playing ball and
holding a congress of profanity in one part
of the grounds. About fifty tramps sleep in
the grand stand every night.
A resident of the neighborhood said to the
reporter i " When the New York Club played
on the ground it was a scene of healthful
sport and popular enthusiasm for two or three
hours a day. Now it is a place of quarrelling,
profauity and vagabondage from morning till
night. Homo people are afraid to go into tbe
grounds after dark. Tho place has become a
nublio nuisance."
Where tbe ragged urchins were playing ball
once played tho great Ewing, the incompara
ble Boger Connor, the subtle Keefe, the
learned Judge Ward, the astute Counsellor
O'Rourko, the great masters of baseball.
Where tbe tramps were snoring ou the
bleaching-boards thousands of voices usod to
cheer a throo-baso hit or welcome at home
run.
Where all was comparative eilenco and des
olation ten thousand willing hands used to bo
ready to mob tho umpire or do-anything that
was oheorful and useful.
Where 10,000 New Yorkers used to sit. hot
and happy, on the bleaching boards and en
joy lifo watching tho New Yorks win, were
then to be seen only the empty boards,
sprinkled here and thore with a tomato can
and a tramp.
Tho abandonment of the Polo Grounds had
almost destroyed bus'ness from One Hun
dred and Sixth to Ono Hundred and Six
teentb street and from Third to Eighth ave
nue. Saloon-keepers nnd shopkeepers, paying
high routs under leases made when baseball
was Tplayed in Harlem, found their business
almost destroyed. Some would soon go out
of business aud there would bo empty stores
and falling rents in Harlem.
Tho abandonment of the Polo Grounds
injured more real-estate owners than it helped
and it greatly injured hundreds of business
men.
It established n congress of tramps in the
very neighborhood that it was expected to
benefit. It was nn incalculable injury to
basetall and to the popular enthusiasm for
athletic outdoor sports.
In short, it was n most mistaken act, di
rectly opposed to publio interest, aud the
immediate prospect that the grounds will
soon be booming again should bo sufficient
to fill every Harlem heart with joy.

Every housekeepor knows what it is tohnve
tho feather renovator come around to get the
feather beds and pillows, put them through
the steaming process and roturn them in pew
tioklng, clean and good as new. There is an
old colored mau lu Annapolis who concluded
to have his bed renovated, but having heard
that renovators were not honest, he con.
eluded to weigh his bed before
turning it over. On its return he
weighed it, aud found it several pounds
short, and raid to the man, r,Jjook

All right, but is this yours;" nnd he pulled
from his pocket a roll of greenbacks contain.
ug $1,000. which ho hsif fouud In the bed.
The sight paralyzed the old colored man.
and bo was theu willing to udmit the owner
ship of the renovated bed. Tho man who
cleaned it and found the 94,000 is hesitating
now whether he will give up the money or
not. The colored man will have to prove
ownership, which he cau hardly do.

"The birth of iOt illegitimate colored ,ij
children in one year, of whom 121 were born
dead, by mothers mostly of the schoolgirl
age, unmairiou aud very often homeless, '
cal's for more than a passing notice," Bays '
Dr. Smith Townshend, Health Officer of the
District of Columbia, in his report just pub
lished. " The status of the colored race ia
tbo United States, and especially the Southern
portion thereof. assumes growing importance
as a social problem ns tho years go by. The
noimal proportions between the legitimates
and tbe illegitimates among tho whites fl
maintained, ibere being six of the former to i
one of tbe latter. The return as to the eol- '
ored raco show a continued growth of ille
gitimate relations between the sexes, ther
being only 1.20 legitimate to 1 illegitimate.
That is, the latter class equals three-fourthi
of the former and over 28 per cent, of still
births of every kind. Examinations made by
tho office, as opportunity occurred, have de
veloped the fact that a large proportion of tha
mothers of these oolorod stillborn are unniar- '
tied girls, ranging from fourteen to eighteen
or twenty years of age. In most cases they
either cannot or will not disolose the name of
the father of the ohild. or give any clue by
which he can be located.
