The reorganised Omahn ball team will re-
lurn homo next Monday morning nnd In the
afternoon meet the Delivers In their first
jatno on the homo grounds. The manage
ment Is making preparations to glvo them n
big send off. The Musical Union band will
parndo the streets from 1 o'clock until 2 ,
when they will repair to the ball park nud
glvo nn open air concert until the tlmo for
calling th'ignmo. On the opening dny , for
that Is what Monday will virtually bo for the
now loam , ladloi will bo admitted free , nnd
It Is safe to predict , Judging from the interest
nrousod nmong the fair sex by the old loam ,
that n largo crowd will bo In attendance , so
far the now team has experienced Ilitlo save
defeat , but this Is no more than should hnvo
been expected , ns the team that took the Hold
at Milwaukee for the llrst time two weens
ngo wns gotten together In n llttlo less than
two days. The men were now to each
other nnd wont Into the fray with inevitable
defeat staring them In Iho face. Still , it Is
not the weak team that sonio people would
hnvo them , and with a trillo moro nctlvo
work In championship games they will bo
nblo to hold tholi own If they are not able to
innko much 'advancement. In Fields , Duncan -
can nnd C'oluinan the oiilllold Is as stiong as
It was before tno wreck nnd thu men on the
bases nro Improving dully. So far their hit
ting as a whole has been very good , and with
ni-otlior pitcher or two they ought to reverse
matters very tnntpnnllj. Manager Luadluy
thinks Hint Fno will pan. out very satisfac
torily and still has hopes of bringing Cole-
mnii uronnd so Hint ho will bo able to make n
creditable showing in the box. linker is not
nt himself just yet owing to Iho Injury to hi *
hnnd , but with moderate work he may fully
recover his old tlmo effectiveness. Young
O'Niol wns to have joined the team nt Minne
apolis yesterday. He Is undoubtedly n good
limn. In addition to those men Leitdley Is
now negotiating with John ICoomin of the de
funct Grand Unplds club , with a fair prospect
of securing him. Kcoimn has pitched great
ball this year , having olllciatcd In llfty-ono
games with n big pcrcontnuo of victories. The
citizens of Omahn , however , should not ox-
pcct startling work ut the hands of the row
loam , but glvo them a chance to get into
nhnpo nnd demonstrate what they can do
under favorable circumstances. Kvery lover
of Hie game , and every man interested In the
reputation nnd prosperity of the city , thnt
can tnko the time should strain n point nnd
got out nnd give the new aggregation the
welcome it deserves next Monday nfturncon ,
relying on Iho fact that Manager Loadloy
will glvo thorn the very best bull possinlo yet
before the season closes. He Is a hustler ns
well as n shrewd nnd Intelligent business
man , nnd has taken hold of this venture with
thu determination to make it a success. The
loss of thu pennant nnd nil disnstar past nnd
forthcoming should bo laid ut tlio door of the
man who deserted the city when ho could
have done It , and himself too , the most good ,
and that man Is Dan Shannon.

simp. Illair batted him clear out of the box ,
mid Finch was substituted in the eighth
inning. Blair made fourteen hits off Kim-
mcl and two oil Finch. These , assisted by
eleven stolen bases by the homo team , would
beat any rino. The homo team bit hard and
at the right limo , in fact , anyone could hit
thu ball to any part of tlio Hold the
crand stand could point out. while
Kimmol wns in the box. Several errors were
made on botn sides , some very costly ones for
Blair. Hlair made fi nnd Fremont S. Four
of the latter were made by Adams , Fremont's
short stop. Blair pitched Jullen part of thu
llrst inning , but Fremont was bitting him too
hard and Urott was put in. Tbo change was
mudo ] ust at the right time , ns the visitors
only made three scores of Brolt. Some close
decisions were made , but the visitors were
irlvon the advnnlago , so they have no kick
coming. They have to admit Blair outplayed
them at every stage of the game. The second

At the I'axton .t Viorling iron foundry the
working hours have been reduced and the
proprietors are acting in strict compliance
with the provisions of the law. The niun
work eight hours and are p lid for the num
ber of hours that they wont. This suits
the single man , but these who nro
married state that they must work moro
hours in order to enable them to support
their families. This the proprietors refuse
to let the men do , ns thov do not wish to violate
late the law.
Mr. Viorling said : "This law will work a
great Hardship on us. If wo put on an extra
force sulllcient to do the work wo were
doing before the now law wont , into effect

The first nttompt at making the legal test
of the eight hour law will come before the
courts today. The action will bu Instigated
by the Central labor union , but just what
course will bo pursued will not bo known
until the attorneys have thoroughly invest- !
irated tlm law. Manager Comostock of the

victim. It will bo charged that ho violated
the law by entering into contracts with his
employes to work in excess of the number of

One of two courses will bo taken. One
plan is to nrrest him , while the other is to
enjoin him from contracting with any man to
work moro than eight hours nny ono day
without paying the double scale of wages.

After disclaiming any Intention to make a

and your mission is to declare that lutempor-
nnco , like treason , ought to bo mudo odious

close similarity between the two. The Irons-
omiblo endeavor to dethronu the rightful

spirit of our soul , Is the ruler of our soul. In

At the conclusion of the cardinal's nddrojs
Commissioner Uoss on behalf of the dinlrict
government welcomed the convention to
Washington.
Hlshop Cutler , the president , road his rupert -
port on the state of tlio union which showed
that during thu year gratifying progress had
been made In the temperance cause. After
recess thu report on credentials showed that
there were present 17 > regular delegates.
The total membership of the union as shown
by iho reporls of .subordinate unions was
something over Ilfty-thrco thousand , inelu-
slvo of a largo number of detached societies ,
Including those ot Now York , Chicago , Haiti-
moro and Washington.
Hoy. Father lOgnn of Now York spoke of
the situation in Now York citv and the oppo
sition Hint Iho priest had oneoui.terod In the
New York excise board and said that , the
principal opposition came from the ono Cath
olic member of the board.
father Cluary then rend a communication
from Iho Women's Chris'inn Temperance
union delegates to Una convention , which
was received with prolonged npplnuso , null
the delegates , Miss Frances Wlllimi and
Mr * , y. U.M \ Fotra , weio invited to souls in
Iho convention as its fraternal guests and in
response to repeated calls , Miss Willard
stopped to the platform nnd made n short ad
dress , during which she was frequently in-
lorruplcd by onthusiaslic upplauso.
Miss Willard said in pin : "It means
much lo mo to bo bore , it moans much to the
ladies who nro with mo and 1 am glnd to bo
hero by the unanimous vote of Iho conven
tion of the Women Christian Tcmporancu
union of the United States. 1 am glad they X
have the heart and the head and Iho con - V
science lo thus rely on your good will and I _ :
nm not thu least surprised nnd it was exactly
what I expected that your losponso should
bo so hourly nt.d so kind.
"I don't know whether protcstnnts have
ever come to the convention before. I presume -
sumo protcstrdit women have not. but I re-
joleo to say that In coming this morning and
in attending thu services at the church nnd
listening to that great and good man ns hu
proachcd , In participating without much
Knowledge of the inothod , but with thu .sin
cere heart in It , l felt that to a cerium oxtoflt
or a curtain depth nil hearts were tinltod.
"I Invite you to send to our convention In
Boston , which will mout in Tremont Tumple ,
extending from the llltb to the ISth of Novem
ber , n delegation of fraternal dolccatcs , with
out u voice , without n vote , but its my friend
Father Clonry said , to bis the kindly guests
ot our convention ns wo nro of yours , and I
ask that among thorn , whllo I am very proud
that you should send n 1'rio.st , I wish tbo
priest of his great , church bo accompanied ns
n delegate to that convention by u woman I
want you to bo sure to send a woman also
[ applause ] us a delegate. "
The rending of thu sucrotary's report in
cluded a short but vigorous speech from Del
egate Campbell of Philadelphia. Ho pro <
toslod nirainst the further employment of nn
tionnl organizers. Yenr nfler your ho him
nllonded these national conventions and had
Imard Iho reports of the roprosontntlves of
the subordinate societies. It was always the
same old story , "U'o nro doing only moder
ately well , but wouxpect to do eront things
during the coming year , " and what had lliu
coming year shown ) It had shown that
there was an actual loss In membership nil
along the lino. Tins has baun repeated year
after year. Many of the larger cities , inv
eluding Now York nnd Chicago , did not have
n single vote In the national convention. Ho
had become thoroughly couvliu'iul of tno
uselessness of iho national orgnnl/.ars'
method and hu nsk-'d the convention to go
Into a committee ! lo discuss this ami olher
matters of vital interest to thu welfare of
the union.
This was done , but nt thu request of the
llrst vlco president of the union , Ins rupert
was rend before nny other business was tak
en up. Thu discussion was thun proceeded
with for two hours or moro. Komo fueling
