In delcrenee therefore to this purpose of

deduce therefrom his individual conclusioos.
The fact that until I aet about ray preparation -

on , and the study of the plifloophy and ca.

of the greatest pleasures of my life. I am

WHAT m 1NEW OF OLD flEN.
I would not have my frank confesin of
ur.aequaintance with a man whose fame 1111s
the earth tCten to literaly , however. I
lid know something about Dr. Franklin : as
zriuch , probably , as the majority of my fel.
low countrymen , this distinguished audience
not excepted. I knew , tar Instance. that as a
mere boy he had eornehow found his way
from Boston to Philadelphia , and had entered -
tered the latter city with a penny roll in
lis mouth and another under each arm.
That a Iitte : girl , sub3quentIy his wile ,
spied him in this predicament and giggled ,
alter the manner of little girls. I knew that
he bEcame a printer and publisher in Philadelphia -
delphia and brought forth Poor Richard's
Almanac , a hotchpotch of the wise sayinga
of all nations. which everybody knew and
which nobody ever heeded. I knew that he
once flew a kite during a thunder-storm ,
therchy demonstrating that lightning was
iothing but electricity-a puerile pexforrn-
Inca which anybody could have done , but
didn'L I knew that ho had signed the Dee-
laration of Independence and also the constitution -
- , stitution , and that he. . was otherwise a great
5nan in the provinces. I also had a vague
notion of his embassy abroad. amt a still
vaguer notion that he was in the habit of
attending court levees In top-boots and a
fur cap , to the disgust of the courtiers and
the frantic deight (1 " [ tie great un-
wahed. " I had alfo cen hia numerous3'

old gentleman with an ostentatIon of philanthropy -
! ' lanthropy , but a weather eye to the main
chance ; a parsimonious old gentleman ,
wIIQse tongue , thrurt into his cheek. gave
notice that he was up to snuff ; a shrewd ,
crafty , stcretive , caculating old gentlernan
a worldly-wise , hut unwisely worldly od
genL'eman , whose morals were as easy a.
his slippera.
I .knw him now to have been , next to
W'aehington , the greatest character of the
revolution-perhaps the greatest of his
century. ever in the history of the world
has there been a man of more varied and
profound accomplishment , or one who
united the sedentary habits of a student and
the energy ci' an actor in the world's affairs.
I wuld almost ay that he was the very op-
poslW to all that I hid conceived him. and
yet not so ; for he was everything that I had
/ Imagined , modified by goodness. He wa
parsimonious ; yes , but only with himself.
To others he was generous often to his own
undoing. Mreover his l'asimony had an
object , which dignified and ennobled it ; he
was striving not for riches but for Inde-
pendence. Wtieii he achieveLl a modest corn-
petence he quit his own business absolutely
and never , so far as I can discover , attempted -
tempted . to make another do'lar for hlmc'f. '
; He w.as shrewd and crafty also. but not with
that sinieter distrust of his felIw-men
which the words Inply , His was the dl-
1'omacy of a child , than which we are told
there Is none to subtle.
AS .t PROTOTYPE OF LINCOLN.
The people he loved and trusted. as did
Lincoln ; like Lineolo , alw , he fathomed the
designs of wicked men. This Is what St.
Paul -would ealI a holy eunbing. He was
1mpe In his dress , to be sure , but scrupu-
lou In his inen. lie was polite , even to
'the l.flnt of deference 'with womsopver he
ccriarced , whether it chanced to be a
neighbor In the village of Phtladelphta , or
some aninister of state In the metropolis of
Londop This waa an art which lie had
cultivated , for by nature he was btInate
and opnionated. Inihe courseeot his long
life he made many Inventions , such as tle
stove. , the lightning rOd-minusjts n"ent-
and those be gavoto his countrymen without
a royalty or patent. lie discovered many
SeCretS of nature. which he revealed to the
worI freely and without reserve. l3 t f all
hIs discoveries thcie was one of signal and
Paramount Importance , the one which made
him what he was , the one which virtually
concerns every human being for all time to
come , the one which invoves all others , and
vhich I hitv selected as the theme for what
further I may have to say-the discovery ci
how to make life happy.
FO Denjamin Franklin was happy : happy
In his drudgery happy In his extreme lov-
e'rty , happy in his enforced economies , happy
In his rowlng Luccess , happy In his pros-
Perity. happy In the setviep of his COUnty ,
and .n the love and applause of the world
C , at large. From youth t ago he was
I actually , genulnly happ3 ! Not the hyp-
' notie ecstasy of an anehorlie , mind you ; not
the lIteudo-hapUifless of a volupluary ; not
the stolid indiffeenee o ( a stoic ; not fhe
glum complacency of-a Puritan : not even
thu rhapsody ota lover , but th tranquil ,
reasonable fiappiness which is bO hard to
achieve. and yet wjthout which This life is

Mr. Morse , "this little incident mattered not

cheerfully drew a great number of bills UPOn
the poor gentleman , who , held In the Tower
of London its a traitor , was hardly In a position -
tion to negotiate loans for his fellow rebels.
lIE RAISED TIlE MONEY.
John Jay , In Spain. could not raise money
enough to pay his butcher , but he would
accept America's drafts for millions , trust-
lnf ; to Providence and Franllin to meet
them at maturity. And Franklin 1ald not
only these drafts , but the butcher's bills as
well. In like manner Arthur Lee , and Mor-
ri-sa , and ] zard , and all the rest of them ,
would vita evety bill drawn on them by congress -
gress , and then petItion Franklin , for the
love of God and the hope of America , not
to suffer them to go to pretest. And Frank.
Un honored these drafts alwaya and without
fall. 'The French tnlnistr. Vergenns , would
declare to him that the French government
was bankrupt , as indeed it was ; that Amer.
ica piust not look to France ( or another dollar -
lar ; that under no dircuinstances would he
lend another dollar , etc. , etc. Franklin
would advise congress to this effect. and
congress would i.romlse solemnly never to
draw on him again , accompanying that very
promise with a draft for another million.
WhereuNn the venerable philosopher , his
country a last hope , would grd ! UP his llOn %
say his prayer. ' . and tackle the French mm.
Ister for just one more accommodation. He
know that the phlebotomy of a turnip was a
eiimple painless operation compared with
aqueezng another drop of blood money out
of Vergennes , but he acccmpllthed the tat.
liosrible. Time after time , in the face of
that gentleman's ultimatum , he continued to
wheedle. or argue , or frighten hInt Into a
"general" loan , then a "special" loan , then
a guaranty of somebody's else's loan. The
buccaneers , which America turned loose to
prey on Fngllsh commerce. were the creatures -
tures of Franklin. It was he who suggested
the idea and furnished the money to fit out
the ve'els. Paul Jones said that Franklin's
letters to him would make brave men cow-
ards. But these gay rovers were not self-
eupporting , notwithstanding their glorious
exploits and their many captures. Franklin
was the only navy department which they
recognized or upon which they drew in
emergency , and this financial burden was
added to the others. No wonder Mr. Morris
declares that Washington's prnitlon at'al -
ley Forge was enviable compared with
Franklin's predicament during the entire
revolution. No wonder flancroft calls him
the greatest diplomat who ever lived. He
bankrupted France. that America might be
free ! But God Intended that France should
go bankrupt In the cause of liberty. other-
wi France herself would never have been
liberated. For if Loul XVI. could have
stopped the mouths ot the bungr' mobs
which howled at him for bread , only a few
years later , bow would the French revolu.
tion ever have gathered to a head
flut the end came at last , and apparently
in the nick of time. A treaty of peace was
negotiated at Paris and signe'J by Franklin.
together with Jay and Adams , on behalf of
his country. Then thts wonderful man , full
of years and hoyiors. returned home , to be.
received by his countrymen in a.very trans.
port of jubilation. He took partin the'con-
ventlon which brought forth our constitu.
tion ; hb lent his powerful influence to the
election of Washington ; he petitioned congress -
gress as president of the first abolition so-
clety , and as the last act of his life , to remove -
move the Inconsistency of American slavers
from the Character of the American people ,
urging them to step to the verge of their
author1ty to discourage every species of
traffic in the persons of our fellow men , and
then calmly. tranquilly announced himself
as ready to die.
ONLY ASKED FOR REST.
"I seem to have intruded m > self into the
company of Posterity , " ho said , "when I.
ought to have l.een abed asleep. " And again
he said : "Ifaving seen during a long life a
good deal of the world. I feel a growing curiosity -
riosity to be acquainted with some other. "
Great heart ! Loyal gentleman ! Devout
philosopher ! The mysteries of the universe
piqued his curiosity , as they do the rurioity
of every thinking man , and he explored
them reverently. hut without fear. He
kncws now whether sound is "an entity of
body : " whether electricity is identical with
Ight ! ; whether thought Is identical with
spirit. But surely he discovered Xo us that
there I' . an electricity of thoutht and motive
as well as ci' the clouds. And we need them
all ! We need the electricity of the clouds ,
God's lightnings , cleaving aluiceways
through the heavens , that the waters of the
firmament may gush in torrent , on the
earth. We need the electricity of heat , sheet
lightnings , that go shuddering across the
sky , uffuing the cheek of night as with a
blush , How sudden cool the air ! Every
leaf , ad twig , and blade of grass puts on
it coronet of dew : every flower holds up
her cbnlicc to the. dripping stars. We need
the ei-ctricity of thought ; that lightning of
the mind , revealing to us new paths of duty
leading onward to the future. We need the
electricity of maUve. thai ] lhtning of the
noul. thrilling along the fibers of our being ,
making every human heart a telegraphic
re1ty Ip that grand circuit of humanity.
whose ground wire lies buried in a different
sphere than ours.
And America may have all thIs , She has
! er men and women , her freedom , and her
instItutions. God has only to pitch the key
and the vibrant earth sIngs with a harvest.
Let us e happy ! Franklin has done his
part by precept and example. God and
nature have done their lart. Fellow ciii.

Secretary Harry New and Treasurer John
Douglas of the Omaha Cricket club , triol
conclusions with their elevens yesterday at-
ternoon , Th.4 result was a decided tie-
tory for the treasurers by twenty-six runs.
It-or New's side , Cookeon and George
'nughan set out to make matters interest-
lag to the bowling of Douglas and \VIII
Vaughan , and It began to look as If lhmese
two players had a mortgage on the afternoon
for they were not separated until fifteen
runs had been made , not rapidly , but with
care. Cookeon then ran himself out , and
immedIately after George Vaughan was
caught by Lawrie in a well judged running
catch , Then came dire disaster , for , with
good bowling and excellent support in the
field , the innings closed for 30. No extras were
given , due mainly to the fine work of 11111
and Patullo. 11111 leo made a fine catch
off a hard drive by Harry New.
When \'ih1 Vaughan was bowling his best
he tried to stop a red-hot one and had
his wrist Injured , which virtually put him
out of the game : and when he and Francis
started the batting for their side , it was
evident that Will was handicapped , as he
did not score. Francis started in with his
Usual care and patience , and when Douglas
joined him , a fine stand was made. Douglas
scored rapidly , and soon put up sixteen runs ,
while Francis compiled twenty-one , carrying
out his bat for a carefully played innings ,
and one extremely useful to his side. A
man 'she carries out his bat when George
Vaughan is bowling , takes his place In his.
tory , and his achievement is looked upon
with envy and admiration. Mr Francis
should have this score framed.
The other batters did not contribute beav-
ily to the total , and the innings closed for
flfty.six rune , IncludIng five extras.
Yesterday's cricket was an exhibition of
good , all round field work , and on several
occasions the batters suffered by smart field-
lag notably a quick pick up and return
by Jessop , which caused the dismissal of
Cookson. This quick field work is what Is
heeded in a cricket club , combined with the
excellent basking up that was shown.
Tlere was one feature of the game , how.
ever , that was painfully in , evidence , and
that was the frequency of the "run outs. "
no fewer than six in the game. It would
seem that in many instances poor Judgment
was used by the batters , and with such
fielding as was dIsplayed , it is a safe prop-
ositlon never to attempt a run until the
ball passes the infield-and in running , show
no hesitation. It Is much better to save
a wicket than try to gain a run at the
expense of a wickeL
The club is showing up well in team work
and bids fair to do great things before the
season closes.
The game for next Saturday will be the
Orrahas against All Sains. The Saints
broke even last. year with the club , but thIs
year there is much speculation as to the outcome -
come of the games , as several new players
have been introjuced , who may materially
alter affeirs. However , both clubs have
concluded to win , so some hard fighting
is sure to ensue.
nelow is a detailed score of yesterday's

The taking of teetlniony in the cbntempt
case against Attorney Joel V.Vest was cent-
peted yesterday morning and the arguments
'sore commenced shortly before the hour for
the noon adjournment. The testimony intro-
ducted yesterday morning was very brief , being
that of ca-Judge Charles Ogden anti 2. M.
Macfarland , West's associate in the flohin
case. The state called Fitzpatrick to rebut
West'a testimony regardIng FItzpatrick baying -
ing paid Weal. $25 a a retaining fee to defend -
fend him on the charge of bribery.
As the case stands , Fitzpatrick's story is
the only direct evidence against West , but
It is supported by corroborating circumn- '
stances , and there has been no denial that
money was used to bribe Gump , he having
admitted receiving the money , There has
been no motive shown by the defense to account -
count for Fitzpatrick throwing the matter
Onto West. It as shown by th testimony
of both \Veat and FitzpatrIck tnst the most
friendly relations existed between them , and
the others in the deal were strangers to
\'est , and he to them. It is admItted by
the defence that a conspiracy to bribe the
jury existed , amid that Fitzpatrick was in It.
Fitzpatrck ! says \West was ntixed up ip it ,
and \'et denies the accusation. To quote an
expreesion used by Judge Baker In the case
in hand , "All nmen are presumed to tell the
truth , " but it Is evident that this rule does
net apply to both sidea of this particular
case.
case.At the opening of the morning sessIon
Charles Ogden u-as questioned regardIng
\\'est's character as to reticence , uprightness -
ness , etc. The attorneys renewed the
wrangle started Friday night on this point and
the court finally ruled that the testitnoim > '
might be admitted , altbough it was not
material , as a very conservative man might
do some very foolish things. Ogden then
testified that West was very reticent and
conservative , and not given to talking about
his business affairs. Ogden also testified
as to the relative locations of his and West's
oflices. They both used the same main
room , but it was necessary to go out into
the ball from Ogden's omce to get into
West's office. He then testified that he had
not seen Fitzpatrick in West's eflhce during
the first Bolln triaL
FINISHED TAKING TESTIMONY.
J. M. Maciarland testified that no monty
receIved by him from West. or bun had
been paid to Fitzpatrick. It was attempted
to show that Mactarland knew nothing about
any attempt on the part of West to corrupt
the jury. This was ruled out , however , on
the ground that it was merely negative and
did not tend to prove or disprove anything.
He testified that West bad given him 45
at various times. and ho detailed Items of expenditures -
penditures , ; s to Detective Clark , 20 or $25
to time extra reporter , expenses in going to
Lincoln , etc. Another effort was made to
show by'the witness that nothing had been
said between himself and West regarding
corrupting the jury , but tfle questions were
ruled out.
This completed the evidence for the do-
tense and James Fitzpatrick was called 1mm
rebuttal. Fitzpatrick denied that he had
given West $25 as a retainer the day he was
released on bath or at any other time. The
only conversatIon he had with West the
day he gave hail on the bribery charge was
regarding West being denied admission to
the county jail. Fitzpatrick denied having
$25 at that time. He said he had 20 at
borne , with -which he intended paying his
rent. a-nd he collected ' $5 the following day
antI gave the $2 to T. 3. Mahoney as a.
retainer.
This completed the evidence on both sides
and the arguments were comnmenced , Assistant -
sistant County Atiorney Day opening for
the state , followed by Baldwin , who closed
at the hour for the noon adjournment.
When cotirt convened at noon Judge Baker
announced that he bad been in consultation
with Judges Keysor and Powell in the case ,
as he considered the matter one of the
gravest importance , and he had roqueated
the two judges referred to to review the
case and assist hIm with their vie and
counsel. He said he would continue the
case until further notice and until the to-
porter could transcribe his notes of the evidence -
dence , and until Judges Keysor and Pow-eli
could carefully read the testimony , md ie
would then ask Mr. Greene for the detenso
and Mr. Baldrige for the state to make
their closing arguments and aid in a decision
in the case by any suggestions cr conolusions
to be drawn from the evidence. ThIs , he
said , would consume about a week and he
said he 'would give due notice wnt'.t t.e
proceedings would be held.
