Bits of Travelers1 Lives Harry Musgrpvc. who had his team of Australian bas ? ball ' plnycra 'n ' thlfl MV last week , took a team ot cricketers to Eng land last ivcarg and the trip waa eo enor mously succcssful'that he vaa wislly tempted to undertake the present venture. He said base ball ihoanobtalneil qulto a footing In Australla.diadr that about twenty teams are now In exlstenas there. They arc conducted In conjunctionIwlth the cricket clubs. The latter fiamo Is played during the summer and base ball during the winter. Ho said the salaried player Is a rare thing In Aus tralia , na sports are. looked upon merely as amusements In which the participant li actu ated solely by pleasure In the diversion. When a man goes -on a salary In any line of sport he losra his social position , nnd the line between salaried players and ama teurs , socially , la closely drawn. Mr. Musgrovo could not adapt hlmsslf to the system of coaching in this country , and seemed shocked that'a player should ques tion n dec'slon ot the umpire. But as ho admitted that his knowledge ) of the game was limited he may become accustomed to these little things before he completes his tour. Ho mentioned a couple of Incidents which had occurred plnco the present trip commenced , nnd sild It they had happened In England or Australia the offender would bo ruled from the grounds. The members of th6 team traveling with Mr. Musgrovo are all reeldenls of Australia , and most of them from the province of Vic toria. Mr. Musgrovo said they traveled for the fun they derived from It , and If the re ceipts of the games at the end ot the sea son exceeded their expenses , the amount was divided among them ; while if there was a shortage , the boys went down Into their pockets and made It up. Mr. Musgrovo said sports In general were looked upon In a different light by English men than by citizens of this country. Among the former the better people encour aged by their money nnd presence all legiti mate sports. The grounds were fitted up elaborately , with club rooms and all con venient appointments. Ho said that nt one game which his cricket club played In Eng land last year 52,000 pcoplo were present. The opposing team was patronized by the Duke of Sheffield , who expended about $15- 000 on the ono game , throwing the money at popular players. Ho had Invited the Prince of Wales to witness the game , and the future king of England was an Interested spectator , with many other representatives of the nobil ity. On the other hand , he thought ] that In this country sports "are looked upon as too serious a matter. "I claim to be as good an American citizen as any naturalized man canbe , " said H. J. Wade , a Chicago traveling man , the other night , as ho called for a pitcher of Ice water. "but I will celebrate the queen's birthday every tlmo It comes around. I came over from Canada seventeen years ago and Iden tified myself with the customs and business of. this country , nnd appreciate Its Institu tions , but I ye ( honor England's great queen , and will pay , my share of tribute to her merits as , a sovereign and her remarkable reign. When.'ono stops to think of the his tory which has. been made during the years eho has been on the throne and the many complications with which her government has had to contend ono cannot help conclud ing , In vlovf ot tne results , thit Victoria , as queen , has een , truly great. " "People are apt to Judge the entire work of the Indian schools by one or two unsatis factory resuHs"sald W. N. Hailman , super intendent of Indjan schools , the other even ing. "Tbd work ot these schools , as a whole , has Jbcen' highly successful and well worth the e'xpcrlse and care- they have re quired. We now have' some J50 Indian schools In 'tho ' Country , with about 20,000 scholars. As a rule , when one of the students flnlshes.tho course at these schools. ho becomes a 'capable man or woman , worthy .the respect nnd confidence of anybody. " He admitted th'circ' < \ferC"some cases 'wbcro-tha untutored "savago might be educated with out being tam'cd , nnd that to sclmo extent the work put 'upon ' them was lost , but ho said the worjc , of educating these people is In a very promising condition. He said there were about 750 graduates of these schools now employed In the Indian service , and nearly half of them were re ceiving good salaries over $500 a year. Contrary to the general belief , many of these people save their money. There are some , of course , who feel It their duty to use their money to support members of their tribe. To them this Is a duly , and It Is done freely without thought of it being a hardship. These people are employed as blacksmiths , 'carpenters ' and such trades , while some are employed as assistant teach ers , and Invariably fill their places In a capable manner. Ho said that a former Omaha Indian was now a clerk In the file department ot the Indian ofQce at Wash ington , and was one of the most cfllclcnt clerks there. Ho mentioned another case ot an Indian woman who Is teaching at the Wlnnebago school , who la a polished and cultivated member of society. She la proficient In music , and hen thought It would surprise Eomo people to hear her play the piano. Ho mentioned thcso cases as examples , show ing to what extent the education offered at the government schools brings the In dian out of the state of savagery to that of civilization. He said that at the coming convention of Indian instructors , soon to be held in this city , the question would prob ably bo brought up as to tbe advisability of employing these dducatcd Indians In the service , and he predicted that the teachers and superintendents would almost unani mously nuppor { the movement. Ho pointed to this fact as a testimonial to the worth of the educated Jndlan from those who are thoroughly 'familiar 'with ' their habits and character. Mr. Hallinan-fsald the work of educating the Indian was Interesting , and growing moro so With' each year , as those who fol lowed It contemplated the wonderful trans formations which were constantly taking place. For thcso same reasons he felt that the proceedings of the convention in this city In July would bo of unusual Interest to that portion of the public -which cores any thing for the condition of the cb'ild of the forest. "I started from Atchlaon , Kan. , for the west thirty-seven years ago , " said ex-Gov- ornor and ex-Senator W. J. McConnell of Idaho the other evening while stopping tem porarily in the city. "I hired out to a firm at St. Joe to drlvo a team of six mules , al though I had never had any experience with such animals.

In two days , Otis Skinner and his com pany have presented for the consideration of Omuha theater-goers three plays one very old , but always fresh and acceptable to those who still reverence the ( jreatcst of all dramatists , another more lately written , but already well on Its way to an oblivion not undeserved , nnd the third , the creditable work of the star himself , which , one would /alii believe , possesses certain elements of permanency , and which shows Mr. Skimicr as an actor at his best. "Tho Lady of Lyons" Is seldom Been now adays , and ( ho loss to the world la not Irrcp- nrable. Only when It Is temporarily gal vanized into llfo by the magnetism and power of to excellent a CJaudn Melnotte us Otis Skinner does the fantastic story take on a semblance of reality , or the lav/dry rhetoric ot Uulwer's lines seem In a measure tolerable , There are few acto'wbo ! could even partially accomplish this with the msio. rial provided ; mid ot these Mr. Skinner easily stands at the bend.

Mr. Skinner's own romantic- play , "A Sol- dler of Fortune , " which Has ebown l&st night for the second time hero , Is a rattling good piece of the cloaU-and-raplcr Mud , nnd hau a fine dttsblne part for the aiilhnr-actor himself , Ibu.cccnci Is Italy , and the tlmu u > that when men died by the polaoim * drugs of Lucrezla Borgia and when swords were carried for use aud were worn con veniently loose In their scabbards. It Is full of action , leaping from climax to cllnai with a verve that Is truly refreshing , and bringing ifl Intrepid uero to Jils dcstlnoJ reward of love nd hoiior In quite the olJ ( and after all , Iho most satlsfaetory ) way. "A Soldier of Fortune" will bo repeated to night , eloping Mr. Skinner's engagement and the season at the Crelgbton , both of which reasons should combine to attract a lurgo audience , The piece Is ono of the best of the now popular Stanley Wcymnn-Antbony Hope-Alexandra Dumas kind of thing , which everybody with a rational nnd healthy mlml enjoys. Mr. Skinner's Fabian Torelll Is worthy of the beat romantic r.ctor of bin time , and the minor parts , particularly UIOHO assumed liy Miss Durbln , Miss Abcilf , Miss Roberts , Mr. Harris , as tbo Jcnlcr , nnd Mr. Weeks , are thoroughly well porttnycd , Take * j\ < -eitl < iiiN 10 ( lie Award.
