Onuilia 7 , Denver ( I. .
You have nU'probahly heard the old fable
ntiout the blind hog and tlio acorn.
Well , that Is Just the size of the Denver
team.
They play ball , that must bo admitted , and
I they keep on playing they nro liable to
fttumblo on to a victory ono of those llnodays.
Hut let us hope the accident will not occur
In Omaha.
The Black Sox wore iif-niu on their mottle
yesterday , and after about as stubborn a con
test as one ought to wish for , they managed
to beat the Mountaineers out the socoud
timu.
But it required ten innings to do it , and
ten innings of as ilurco a light as you ever
looked nt.
A great crowd took advantage of the Sat
urday half holiday and Journeyed up to the
park to sec the battlo.
And they were not sorry they made the
trip , for they saw the Champions win the
most exulting game of the season.
The day was Just right for a ball game , and
the players were all fooling good nud the
crowd at Its best.
And the ladies were there by the score and
transformed the reserve department into a
very parterre of beauty.
Omaha wont Ilrst to the bat and found
their old confrere , Jack Panning , hard to
fathom. Cauavan and Walsh sent tbo ball
into the air only to see It fall into the venge
ful grasp of Curtis and White , while Tommy
ICoanis made throe successive apertures in
the air big enoush to drive an ice wagon
through.
In their half none of the visitors saw first ,
cither. Cleveland throw McGlono out nt first ,
McUIcllan wafted and Willis took care of
Comanche Trcdway's lly.
Hut In the second Omaha solved the mys
tery of "running's drops to the extent of four
great big nldermauic runs , that were vocifor-
ouslv applauded.
I lines and Andrews wcro presented with
flrst In quick succession by the wild and ox-
cltablo ox-Omnhog. Then Willis sent a
iHMiuty out to loft , on which Illncs scored and
Wnlly made third.
Cleveland struck out.
But Morau stepped up nnd before anybody
was ready to yell , swatted out a two-sacker ,
Andrews and Willis scoring , of course.
Ulnrkb's lucky slnglo then tallied the former
owner of Kearney , and some ebullient youth
in the grand stand cried :
"Oh. wlmt a pud I"
Clarke then run for second. Wilson made
n quick throw nnd everybody thought Dad
-was caught , but ho made a great skate on his
oar and came up covered with dustund glory ,
for Bandlo said "not out. "
Ami then what n shout went up for Clurko.
He got no farther , ivowover , for Cauavan
Btruck out and Walsh was retired at Hrst on a
great stop nnd throw by White.
For Kowo's men , Curtis was tin-own out by
Clarke , big Dave sent a fly to Willis , nnd al
though Whlto imulo a single , it amounted to
nothing , as lloynold's pop-up was cared for
by Canavan.
In the third Kearns sent a grounder to
Kqwo and wont into the coachor's pen. Knii-
Jilijtf tried hard , but ho couldn't get 'em over
thii plate , and so Illnos for the second tlmo
nnibled to first on balls , only to bo doubled up
with Andrews , however , who hit to
Fanning , who throw to Whlto , who had cov
ered second , and then White got it ever
to Uowu In time to retire Wnlly too.
for Denver , Wilson Hied to nines nnd
Tanning went Out from Walsh to Andrews ,
but the two Macs , Olouo and Clellnn , both
singled , and It looked very runllko for a
moment or two. Big black Trod way then
Hjnit upon his hands and prepared to bit her
out of the lot , but the best ho could do was to
end u nice cpsy ono out to Willis , and again
Denver was slathered with whitewash.
Thou Onmhn made her fifth run.
Willis went out nt first , but Cleveland
faeod Mr. Fanning left-handed , and after ono
or two futtlo attempts ho maiio the proper
connection , nnd when the sphere had ceased
its ivrhvl lllght the third baseman's rotund
form was posing Just nlnoty foot from homo.
Monm couldn't bring him. for ho went out
on a llttlo 0110 to third , but Clurko was the
man for the occasion , and ho cmclced out a
nlnglo and the deed was done. Canavan fol
lowed with a safe ouo , but Walsh's out ended
the Inning.
Ill lior hliff Denver mndo her first tally.
After Curtis had been cared for by Konrns ,
Ctiuavnn imulo n blunder and Howe was
( * lyen a life. IIo made a good steal of the
next bag , and then after Whlto had fanned ,
ran all the way homo on Willis' muff of
Itoyuold's long fiy , Wilson struck out.
But Omaha offtot this n moment later.
After Kearns had tiled to Tredway , Hines
made n hit , and on very yellow errors of Cur-
.tls , White and WllsOn mndo the trip round the
bases , and that was Omaha's lust run until
the tenth Inning.
The fifth and sixth were blanks for Den
ver , but In the soventn she made a run on
Hoynoldb' stuglo and McUlono's double. In
the eighth they added two more , and there
\\vro signs of a squall ahead.
Kvurybody was ucrvoud ,
Fatal iiiiguryl
i In the ninth Denver tied the score , nnd the
'ohsl" that emanated from the sweltering
nud frantic cranks in the grand stand were
loud and poignant enough to have touched
the heart of a 8toi0. |
Now begau a mighty hotlflght for the win
ning run. and as It progressed the oxcltc-
niunt and enthusiasm rose to foyer heat.
Cleveland was the first batter up in the
inameiitou3 tenth , but ho was only up for n
lirlof period , for \Vhlto gathered up his lazy
grounder and slammed htm out nt first so
nuirk it made half thu people nick. Monm
tneii snmsliuil u hard ono right at MrGlono ,
laid what did Moo do hut drop it as If It was
charged with electricity. Billy WIM safe ,
nnd how the 6row < l did cheer. Clarke fol *
lowed with a safe ono In.slde the dhuuond ,
which reached big Dave's otititrctchod hands
whlloho was in the air , nnd of course It was
n hit. Cnnavnn followed with a hit , scoring
Mnrnn and scndinir D.id to socoml ,
Then you ought to nave heard the volume of
Bound that arose from gniud stand and blench.
The ladies flaunted their handkerchiefs ,
while the men nnd boys stood up In their
scnta nnd Indulged In a yelling match.
For & moment the uproar was deafening.
Quiet came with Walsh's out to Curtis , and
when Tommy Kcnrns also gave up on n high
foul , the hush of tbo tomb settled over the
pnrk.
For the Dcnvrrs , Reynold * sent up a little
fly whichWnl.siCanavnnnndClarko | ; all three
went for , nnd the result was neither got It ,
ami Reynolds got his base.
Gracious goodness 1 Was Omaha to bo
beaten after all t
This bit of luck at once restored Denver's
nerve , that was pntcnt to nil , and it was evi
dent she meant to hurl her Ixwio into the
fray. For n moment It looked like a
rout , but Just as the crowd was dlspsilrltifr
White hit n grounder to Walsh , which Walsh
pounced upon like a cat. Ho grabbed it up ,
lilacs , dust , gnivol.aml nil , nnd tired it to
Cannvnn , nnd Jimmy , without waiting to say
"Thank you , Josie , ole boy , " fired it to An
drews , and about the luckiest double ever
seen on thehoinu / grounds vtaa the result.
A wild sccno of Jubllallon followed.
Fanning then mndo a nice single , but
McGlonc's out from Walsh to Andrews un
ceremoniously terminated the great stcugglo.

THE ai'EEu nixa.
The American Derby. , ,
CniCAno , Juno 21. "Uncle Bob. " That
was the yell rising in discordant triumph
over the combined roar of 40,000 , voices nt
Washington park today. If the noted Ken
tucky thoroughbred bearing the familiar
name bad really been the uncle of the thou
sands shrieking ' his cognomen ho could not
have responded more graciously. With
ridiculous ease the uoblo bluegrass
beauty plunged forward , .down the
long stretch of spongy mud and
jumped past the Judges the winner of $18,000
cash stakes and the first honors of the Amer
ican derby7 A more inspiring spectacle has
seldom been witnessed than the gathering-of
the throng which came to sod decided the
great event of the western , turf. Notwith
standing the heavy rain last night and the
forbidding look of this morning's sky the
grand stand nnd greensward seemed buried
under swarming people long before thu hour
sot for the races. Gradually the crush in
creased , and when the opening contests be
gan every isle and stairway , to say nothing
of the seats , was jammed to suffocation.
The cheering began immediately on the appearance -
pearanco of the 11 rat contestant. It was
Goodbye , followed closely with Bon Kings-
bury , Jed , Mount Lebanon and Sunnybrook.
The announcement Had already been made of
the withdrawal of Protection. Frontlno ,
Sinaloa and Grayson. Last of all came the
favorites Uncle Bob and Lucky Baldwin's
entry , the sinewy-looking California ! ! , San
tiago. While the bulk of the crowd was
shouting itself hoarse many others with
money on the race studied once again the card
where it read : "Third race , American derby ,
sweepstakes for three-year-olds at 250 each ,
with § 7,500 added , $1,000 to second and § 500 to
third horse , mile anil a half. " The seven
horses quickly assembled at the post and
when the red Hag foil the thoroughbreds wcro
on" like the wind , but as perfectly aligued as
a lllo of Infantry. Goodbye was the Ilrst to
forgo u trifle .annullmt , itwasqnl } n trifle.
Passing the stand Jed was slightly iii the
load , with Klngsbury close ou him , while
Uncle Bob and Santiago were toward the
rear. Now Goodbye , who had been
setting the pace , gave way to Sunny-
book , the latter pulling up with a
sudden spurt from almost last , wlillo Good
bye fell back to bocoino the tail end to the
finish. Along the back stretoh thojs'catne ,
still closely bunched , when rounding the
turn Klngsbury led for nn instant. Aa they
entered the stretch Uncle Bob was noticed
enlarging urandly from the cluster , followed
by the California racer , Santiago. Barnes on
Santiago made a plucky effort , but do what
ho would the mud scorned to cling desper
ately to Santiago's ah-eady tired heels.
Amid uproarious howls of delight Unelo
Bob passed' under the wlro
two full lengths in the lead ,
while Santiago was only three-quarters of a
length ahead of Kinsbury. Jed was fourth ,
while the others straggled lu , pulling up
badly beaten. Tlme:5.)3 : .

There \\na been tlttlo clso than silver talk
In Wnshlngton for a week. The subject \M \
diffused wery other to'plo nnd permeated
every department , bonrding house nnd family
circle. The position of the ndmfnlstrntioti
has grown rapidly during the past twenty-
Otir hours , nnd while two days ago n five
coinage bill would hnvo gene through the
house with a whirl , It Is considered now that
a 4,500,000 ounce measure will get n very de
cided majority unless possibly pressure from
the districts .should change the opinion at
present. r
Mr. Perkins of Kansas Very plainly warned
the house this nftcrnoon that to pass nn un
limited bill was to strike a death blow to the
Vrospccts of relief In Iho way of an increase
of currency through tlio medium of sliver , as
the president would veto such a bill. The
president did not regard unlimited coinage
safe for the country nt this time , ho said , and
though there were these who believed it bet
ter to hnvo free coinage , they should bo willIng -
Ing to have the next best thing. The scenes
on the floor of the house have been exciting
all day , but they we're harmonious. In n busi
ness way the proceedings today were the
most important of the session.
DF.MOCll.VTIC SRXXtORS VIM. CAUCUS.
It has been determined that n democratic
caucus will bo held on next Monday night on
the question of a federal election law. There
has been considerable indifference among the
democrats to this cause , since many of thorn
assert there is no need of it. They nro con
vinced that a federal election bill , as it came
from the republican caucus , will bo best for
them , and they say there is , therefore , no
need of any course of action on tlio part of
the democrats. Nevertheless , n caucus will
bo held. The republicans in the senate who
were some days ago talking in u wild way
about the possible political effect of a federal
election law , nnd hiutcil that it might bo regarded -
garded as soctloiml/havo given the house
caucus bill seine study , and acknowledge
they wcro wrong and say they will gladly
vote for it.
ANTI-FUEB COISAOi : MKJ * ON TOP.
.And now the antl-frco nnd unlimited silver
coinage advocates in the house arc on top.
Yesterday they were struggling along in
what appeared . to bo a minority , trying to
preserve the rujjjigs of Speaker Heed , but
today they won. - 'ho , ivfercnco of the free
coinage bill adopted by the senate was finally
adopted by a vptc.of 141 ayes to 117 nays , and
so ttio bill is nqw , before the house committee
on coinage , wyights nnd measures. It is un
derstood that. iJtwill , bo reported back to the
house next week , and that as it will coma
from the coWittoa ) | ' will provide for
a compulsory .ov'luago of cither 4fiX,000 ( )
ounces or 84tHKOi ) O worth of silver a month ,
the difference being about $500,000 a month in
favor of or iiiciyfi10 * over the former and that
it will contain MiO ( seuato's full legal tender
clause. , , . .
It developed ju the debate today that the
democrats have up to. this morning voted sol
idly against thfj sneaker's ruling simply because -
cause they thought they wore reflecting upon.
the speaker nnd not because they were for
vote showed tjilr on , democratic names in
favflr of roferriup . the bill to "tlio committed
where it wiis known t/ia free coinage feature
would bo stricken ouf. The ten or twelve re-
piiblleaiis wtio-vood ( against rt'furring
the mcasurq to tbo committee and who have
been voting that wuy for three days did not
chungn their position today. Carter of Mon
tana , Townsend of Colorado. Morrow of Cali
fornia and the other republicans who were
against tlio sneaker stated that they were
working for" free connico. Knowing that
reference to the coimnitteo was in tbo inter *
cst of limited comagp and that , though they
regretted any thing which would reflect .upon
the speaker's rulings , they were compelled in
order to preserve their homo interests to ,
stand jirm. Cannon of Illinois , MvIClnley ot
Ohio and Perkius of Kansas were the loading
representatives of the speaker on the Iloor in
favor of limited coinage.
INCRKASIXO , TI1U TOTAIi IIKAl'Sr.S8 I'liN'SION' .
Chairman Morrcll of the house commitcco
on invalid pensions told your correspondent
today that thorq was very little doubt that
the bill which has passed the senate and
which is now oujho | iouso calendar with a
favorable report increasing tbo pension for
total deafness fro'm $30 to 810 per month and
giving a proportionuto increase for severe
deafness will bu finally adopted before thu
end of the session. flo stated that the measure -
uro was ouo of the most meritorious that has
been presented In this congress , and inas
much as it carries only about $ 5,000 ad
ditional expenditure oiieh year there could bo
very little objection urged against it on ao-
countof its expense. Captain Wallace Fostqr
of Indianapolis , hcurotary of the sihmt army
of deaf soldiers , sailors and marines , visited
Washington duringtho winter mid presented
the merits of the bill very intelligently , and
nearly every member of the house has re
ceived a letter vrging him to support the
measure. It Is only a question of considera
tion , aitd it Is. probable that the bill will bo
given attention before thoclosoof the present
session. Chairman Murrcll thinks also that
the-prisoperft of war bill will become a law
before the end of this congress , although ho
docs not believe , it likely that It will bo
adopted at this session.

President Littlclleld addressed the meeting
on the reported action of the board of hcnlth ,
In which seine of the members wcro reported
to have said that the milk men were trying to
squeeze the small dealers out. IIo denied
this , and said It wad not the business of city
ofllrlnls to favor ono man" over another.
Mr. Bndorf , a prominent dealer , spoke nt
Icnpth on the question of feed for cows. Ho
took Issue with the bonrd of health on the
malt question. IIo said fresh malt was the
boat kind of food nnd gnvo much better re
sults , with less danger of over-feeJing , thai
by using com meal and similar feed.
Mr. Biulorf , In a strong and convincing ar
gument , showed how the cows In the city are

by boys and Are dtlven nt a run to and from

ndvnhtnpes which the largo dealer has over
the small dealer , and suggested that It wouh

prohibiting cows from being driven four 01
tlvo miles to pasture every day. The trouble

know llOw'to ' keep milk. Ho had often deliv
ered milk-where the dish was not clean nm

milk being sour.
Several other members freed their minds 01

A N'uiiilXM1 of Protests from Property
Owners South of the Tracks.
Nine members of the city council met last
night as a board of equalization to take nc
tion on property assessments for the Tcntl
street viaduct. Protests were received from
Charles Connoyer , against whosO loU qn
Eighth street a clerical error had been made
in the committee's schedule ; from A. U. Cum-
ings , who opposes the assessment because his
property will not bo bencflttcd ; from C. P.
Burkett , who wanted a written opinion from
Chairman Lowry setting forth his views in
the matter and from C. F. Goodman because
ho. does not consider the Tenth street via
duct n local improvement and for thut reason
objects to being taxed for the payment
of damages on private property. In answer
to an inquiry from Mr. ChatTeo , Chairman
Lowry stated that the assessment south of
the railroad tracks was larger by about § 1.000
than north. Protests from several other
parties against any tax were presented and
placed on tile. Nearly all of thom came from
citizens living south of the tracks. John P.
Howe wants the assessment made general.
On motion of. Mr. Wlteolor the chairman
and city engineer were instrurtcd to prepare
a report of this meeting and present it to the
council at its next mooting. All former pe
titions and protests were also ordered placed

Once my f rlondsitddonly drew roln fttul
motioned mo to do likewise , writes u
traveler from Australia to Harper's
Magazine. For * a few seconds i Heard
nothing. Thou shai1) ) ) and clear througn
tlio silence rang tlio crack of n lung winp
and I expected to see some slock-ridor ,
or perhaps some strayed pai'kman , issue
from tlio scrub.
Hut with a quick "hnsh ! " my oompnn-
ion whispered to mo that what I had
hoard was only tlio "whip-bird , " and
that what ho wanted mo to see wan a
lyre-bird , whoso nutlvo note ho hml
heard a moment before clone at hand.
Very shortly a somewhat low hut sweet
burst of melody , though within a limited
compnHS.enmo from a glndo to the lofttho
greater part of which wa.s shrouded from
sight by Intricate fcrn-troo growths ;
with rapid transitions the song there
after piwo and foil , now IniUatinir tlio
ioyoim freedom ot the mugnio. now the
laughing-gnrglo of the jackdaw , now
other forest denizens.
Again silence , and then right in the
midst ot the fora glade I saw for the
first time a bird which I had often hoard
of and which I was anxious to seo. Tho- * *
lyro-hird or mountain pheasant ( lUmnura \
siiporba ) , is extremely shy , and though
by no moans rare in cortatn distrlots , is
thus comparatively seldom soon.
Insizo itclosoly rosomhlos the com
mon pheasant and is of an aubtirn-brown
color , but it would not bo a specially at
tractive bird were it not for the largo and
dollctitoly grucoful tail feathers , which ,
when fully orootod , exactly rosi-mblo the
instrument aflor wliioh the bird is calkul.

ble to our oyc.s on this occasion.
The whip-bird , or the coach-whin bird ,
referred to in generally hoard in the
sci'nb proper , and has revolved its ntimo
from its habit of ending its loud cry or
note with an abrupt , urauk , like that pro
duced by the long luwhof a stock whip.

Queerest Hotel on Knrlli.
"The queerest hotel in the world is In
Guatemala City Central America , " said
in Knglish tourist stopping at the lUcho-
ieu , to u L'hicagH Tribune reporter.
'While there a few weeks ago I stopped
it the biggest hostelry and mot with
nero mirprisos than I have previously
encountered In my trip around the world.
The house is built only ono story lUyh ou
iccount of the earthquakes. It is con-
Htruoted in tlio form of a hollow sqnnro'
mil the interior court is iimdo beautiful
vith trees and llowers. The oxturior
iresonts the appearance of a prison.
After pounding a. . high knocker on the
niter doer you are ushered into ti sutme
of verdant beauty. The hotel was for-
norly the private residence of
) IIQ of the richest families
of Central America , but the
nvnor was bauishud by President Bar-
ios for an alleged conspiracy against
the government. Around the Interior
voro balconies overlooking a garden
tiled with orange and pencil trues , palms
mil beautiful llower.s. The faro was
food and wo had our choice of pancakes
vith honey , fish , poultry , fruits , and
chocolate. You can't eat there if you
are in a hurry , though. Only ono thing ,
is served at a time and you can't gut a
cup of coffee until everything else bus
been served. The hotel furnishes can
dles , but matches are extra. Then then
is a system of calling the guests' which
entitles the hotel to the name of tMf
queerest on earth. You nro called by
( lies. The Hies down there nro nearly
as large as an English sparrow and they
sting like a hornet , though the bitu is
not poisonous. They never kill them ,
but brush them iway. The halls of the
hotel are lillod with those posts in the
morning. Over each door IH a transom.
Now , if you leave a call for 7 o'clock
your transom in opened at 7 o'clock and
the Hies go in. , Do they wnko you ? I
should siy : so. The sensation is lik < !
that of being sandbaggod. In live min
utes from the time your transom Is
opened you tire down-stairs looking for
the proprietor. It dou.sn't do any good
to kick , though , for thut system htui
boon the custom for yearn. "

There is something wrong in the via-
