The biggest circus on earth was on ex
hibition at Charles Street park yesterday.
There was only one ring , but nineteen
clowns , the umpire being the funniest of
the outfit , with McVcy a close second and
McMackln at his heels.
Umpire Haskell Intends well and will
make a first-class man In the position , but
there are a few things ho must learn before
this can bo consummated , chief among which
Is the fact that the players themselves have
Homo rights the umpire must respect. They
do not always have to come a-runnln' nt
his bock and call , and they are frequently
In the right when ho thinks they are all
wrong.
In the third Innings yesterday Haskell not
only fined Sago $10 , but ho put him out of
L the game , and for no offense whatsoever ,
at that. He had Just as much right to fire
Grover Cleveland from the white house as
ho did to put Sago out of yesterday's contest.
McMackln has a fashion of delivering an
Illegal ball , that Is , ho cunningly manages
to hldo It from the batter's vlcw'Just before
sending It In. Sage called Haskell's atten
tion to this several times and Haskell cau
tioned Sammy once or twice. He still per-
elstcd , however , and Sago reminded Haskell
again. This seemed to rouse the latter's Ire
and ho commanded Sage to shut up , and
I on Sago's attempting to explain to him that
he was violating no' base ball law in trying
t to make his opponents "tote fair" Haskoll
plastered a $5 line on to him.
"I can stand the fine , " remarked Sage ,
"but I don't want to be beaten out of the
game. "
"That costs you five more , " exclaimed Has
kell , "and more than that , you get out of the
game ! "
Sago rebelled for n time , but wisely seeing
ho was working a large and enthusiastic
crowd up to the fever pitch , rather than
disappoint them , he withdrew , and Zeis took
his place , ' while Lawrence went Into the
field.
field.The
The crcwd. cheered the umpire , because It
thought ho was right , but In this case the
crowd did not understand the situation. An
umpire -who cannot get along with Harry
Sago has no business In a game of ball. He
doesn't know how to bo unruly and Is a
gentleman at every step of the road.
f However , the umpire , while some of his
decisions yesterday were of a decidedly Jaun-
it [ llced hue , did not lose the game for Omaha.
Gcorglana McVey claims that honor alone
and single handed , and there Is no endeavor
hero to take away any of his laurels.
While I assert that the umpire did not
lose the game for Omaha yesterday , he cer
tainly did prevent her from tying the score
In the ninth Inning by his faulty and ridicu
lous decisions. In evidence of this fact first
cast your eagle eye over the following tes
timony :
* . TROUBLE IN THE LAST INNING.
At the opening of the last inning the score
stood 20 to 1C In favor of the boiler makers.
The Rourke family needed four -runs to tlo
and five to win/ Paddy Boyle was the first
man up. Sonelr gave him first on balls , and
a passed ball pushed him to corner number
two. McMackln's scratch Infield hit boosted
him along ninety feet further , and Mac stole
second.
The bleachers and Stands were in a
delirium of excitement when Seery toed the
scratch , and when Zeis let another ball got
by him and Paddy ran over the oyster and
Sammy to third , they fairly howled with Joy.
They kept It up when Seery trotted down
to first on anqther 'quartet of wide ones.
They saw a dead heat looming up in the rosy
distance.
The world rested on Jack3Iunyun's well
rounded shoulders. Ho took his position.
He handled his club nervously and great
globules of perspiration cUased each other

down his fair young check like a procession
of horse collars.
The first ball the .attenuated Frenchman
cut loose Jack missed' by a halt a mile , then
the cr.owd groaned an Mister Haskell called
another strike on him , It was do or die
now , and Jack braced lilmaelf. His Htlck
described a yellow circle In the air , then
thcro was a craslw The crowd yelled , then
groaned again. It Was a foul.
Hero Is where the umpire did his worst.
He called It a strike and the batter out ,
claiming that It w an attempted . bunt.
Think of that and weep. An attempted bunt
with n man on second and third , one man
out and three runs needed to lie the score.
Wouldn't that Jar you ?
But It went , and then to cap the climax
.McVey struck out himself , and It left Wood
to turn the trick.
He lined ono out safely and Sammy scored
and Seery perched on third.
There was ono more chance.
It was Papa llourke's. .
He smatdicd the sphere down to Judge
Lynch , and the judge grabbed It up. fumbled
It a second , then threw low to Cantilllon.
He got the ball on the second bound , simul
taneously with the exact second I'apa's No.
! > fell like n big griddle cake on the bag. It
was awfully , awfully close , but Haskell gave
Cantilllon the benefit of the doubt , nrtd 1'apa
was dead , arid Omaha had lost the day.
M'VBY'SVONtKHI''UL WORK.
I will not wtary the gentle reader with
the detailsot the landslide that fell upon
the Uourkes In the eighth. Sunico It to say
the Hock Islands hammered out eleven great
big runs , with fat on their bellies an Inch
thick , and won the game In a cantor. This
too , mind you , was all accomplished after
two men were out , McVey making n muff
of a thrown ball by Hourko that actually
smelt bad. " And ho wasn't satisfied yet , for
ho made two moro of 'cm , all easy ones. In
less time than It takes to tell It , and when
the smoke rolled away Captain Sage could
bo seen under the shadow of the grand
stand packing the game away In a Jar to
take back to Hock Island with him.
Maybe ho didn't get revenge for the slight
put upon him , Horatio ?
Probably I ought to add a word about
Sammy McMackln's pitching , and probably I
hadn't , so I guess I won't. It was an off day ,
however , for Sammy , but when the dog days
roll 'round ho'll be all right again , then
lio'll show you what ho can. do , and that's
no cocoanut , cither.
Fully 3,000 people saw the dump , but they
weren't a bit disappointed , for take nil the
queer frills of the game Into consideration ,
the visitors somehow got Into the confidence
of the crowd , and the crowd rooted for them
Just as If they were at home , and the um
pire was doing mean things to them.
But cheer up. Wo can't win always , If wo
did the game wouldn't last long , would It ?
The Jax will bo hero this afternoon and you
don't want to miss the first game.

CHICAGO , May G. The announcement
that Dlrectum , the great California trotter ,
had fallen at exercise and so hurt his
fore legs that he might not trot this
year was erroneous. It seems the horse
was turned loose from his stall at Pleasan-
ton , Cal. , by some spiteful person last Mon
day morning. He roamed over the ad
jacent roads all night , but fortunately did
not Injure himself on the barbed wire
fences that abound In that locality.
"It was a dastardly piece of work , "
said Orrln Hitchcock. "It Is n case of
spite , and I lmvc.no hesitation In saying
It must have been done by a former groom
of the horse. Everything points to him
as the guilty party. He was sweaty , and
I fear the black stallion may catch cold
from being exposed all night. "

LINCOLN , May C. ( Special to The Bee. :
Tile recent discussion of the question 01
medical ethics In this state has drawn out
Dr. Dcghtol , chairman of the board of sec
retaries of the State Hoard of Health , ani
In a paper read before the State Medical
association the doctor from Friend devotes
considerable time and many words to a de
fense of the position taken by the secre
taries of the board. In the course of his
paper ho utcs the following argument :
"It Is not my purpose to discuss the sub
ject of public hygiene , but I may touch upon
It further on In this paper as a measure In
future legislation. Our present law gives
the State Board of Health , of which I am a
member , no sanitary power. The work of
the board Is somewhat of 'a Judicial nature.
relating not Immediately to public health
measures , as is usually the work of such
bodies In other states , but solely to the reg
ulation of the practice of medicine. We
have not yet attained the ago when the
fittest survive.
"Public economy has demonstrated the
wisdom of medical legislation. To protect
nn.dJ ° ster the Growth' of the sclcncoshas
been the pollcy of all civilized nations. The
relation of the physician to the patient Is a
confidential one. Persons suffering from realer
or Imaginary disease do not select medical
advice with the same Judgment they would
exercise In a commercial transaction. Whllo
wo of Nebraska have an Interest In common
with the medical profession everywhere , yet
wo are most especially concerned In out-
temporal salvation. To construct and main
tain a law It must In n reasonable degree
conform to the present wants and will of
the people. State medicine , as In Germany ,
Is too monarchlal for the American citizen.
Medical laws In the different states should
and will differ In their provisions In con
formity to the varied conditions of society.
\ \ e have too many medical colleges. They
are becoming too numerous In Nebraska.
The high sounding name of 'professor' Is
very alluring to the ordinary doctor , and
ho hastens to erect a medium for ethical ad
vertising. Ho who made two blades of grass
to srow , etc. , was a benefactor , but I do
not believe that will apply to medical col
leges.
"Wo. , como n ° w to that portion of the
i
law which gives the board the right to re
fuse or revoke certificates for dishonorable
or unprofessional conduct. This clause has
been the qucstlo vexa of the board and the
profession. The board has from the first

which ( ho- Industrials expect to iloat down
the river. About Hfty boats GxH foot were
completed today , and It expected another
100 will bo finished by tomorrow night. The
start down the river will probably be made
some time Tuesday.
There was a constant stream of visitors

Salvation army captain. Frequent collec

upon the scene , and It Is estimated that the
contributions will aggregate several hundred

and christened the "Omaha" by Miss Anna
Hootcn.
Meanwhile a committee Is going ahead
calling on the farmers and the people of
towns near the river to meet them as they
Iloat down and supply them with food. The

as the country Is thickly settled by prosper

Judges. There are many here who look upon

regard failure as the only possible outcome.
Many Des Molnca carpenters assisted In

Is to get rid of the army.
