LINCOLN. April 11. (Special.) The la.it
Eamfi of the series between the Omaha
Wmtcrn league and the State university
bAM ball teams was won by Omnha this
afternoon by a score of 5 to '1. There were
nn especially brilliant plajs during the

'varr.lty team In both fielding and batting
and apparently had no difficulty In holding
tho btudcnls down to two runs, both of

an error mado by M Vlcker In right field.
In tho second Inning Hoy hit safo for two
bases and mieeceiled In scoring, followed by
l.auzon and Mackey, both of whom wero
given basm on balls. Hacr also scored In
the first inning on bare on balls. Hobsomer
scored In tho seventh. Del'utron and Cran

in tho last half of tho seventh inning.

A traveling man, Mr. Jullim ('. Meyer of
175 Falrhiwn ntroot, Cleveland, has cured
a number ot hla friends of stomach troubles,
dyspepsia, bowel complaints, etc., by urging
tho uao ot Grape-NutA breakfast food. Uc
M.1VS:
"A buslnewi man, a friend of mine, was
to run down that ho left his business sev
eral months becauso ho could not eat enough
to supply tho strength required to work
'After upending hundreds of dollatb In Jour
neys to mineral springs for baths, In medi
cines, ntendants, etc., without succcfs, I
recommended Orape-Nuts food, and nt the
end of thirty days ho told tno ho nover en-
Joyed a better appetite, was never more en
ergetlc or felt more like work than then.
This chango camo around entirely by reason
of IiIh leaving off the ordinary food and
using principally Orape-Nuts at his meals
Ho mild ho would not bo without the food at
a dollar a pound.
"A lady friend of my wife was suffering
so with dyspepsia that she wns compelled to
glvo up her work, as no food would stay on
her stomach for five mlnutra. Tho doctors
told her thero was no hopo for her over en
Joying food of any kind. She started In nn
Orape-Nuts and used nothing elso for about
Ihreo months, whc ho was completely cured
and roady to ntend to her busine.N. She
takes Orape-Nuts with her every day. Sho
laid to my wife: 'Had It not been for you
Mia iirapo-.Mitd i wouut surely have died
I shall nover forgot your kindness to me.'
"In my own family wo havo used the
food for about a year, constantly, and have
all enjoyed bettor health since Its Introduc
tion. It has dciie us more good than wo
ever expected to get from a food."
. Thero is a deep, underlying reason why
Ornpo-Nuts food cures people of dyspepjW
and builds them up Into a line condition of
health and strength. Certain principles nro
abstracted from the grains nnd made up Int
tho food known as Orape-Nuts, producing a
powerful, concentrated food that gives cer
tain nd well defined results. The proof M
in tho eating. There are hundred of
thousands of people that can glvo testimony
regarding tho strengthening properties oi
'bin famo'us food,

Hanking as thev do nearer alongside the
Shakesporean tragedies than throe of any !
otner writers ot this class of plays sar
dou'a works requlro nothing less than posi
tive genius in an actress for the proper
portrayal of his heroines nnd there Is per
haps no other trngcdlenno on the Ameri
can stage today posscrslng more of this or
more capable of giving them tho proper In
terpretation than Ulancbc Walsh, tho prom
ising young actress who has mado herself
famous In Its' than two years by her
clever handling of Surdou roles. Miss Walsh
nnd Mr. MncDowcll closed their engagement
at Hoyd's theater Wednesday night with
"La Tosea." a Sardoti play In which local
lovers of the drama havo within a half score
of years seen such famous stage people as
Sarah Ilcrnhardt and Fanny Davenport.
Thero wore, therefore, doubtless many In
the audience who wero enabled to make
comparisons between Miss Walsh nnd theso
two great actrcfi-es. It Is not overestimat
ing the ability ot Miss Walsh to say that.
all things considered, her portrayal of tho
high tempered. Jealous nnd loving Florin
Tcsca would by no means suffer In compari
son. Last season Miss Walsh was seen as
Tosca during her engagement here and tho
impression (ho made waa favorable. Slnco
that time tho Improvement has been so
great In her interpretation of this well
known character that It Is now well nigh
perfect. Kspoclnlly brilliant wns her work
in tho torture scene of the third act nnd
the assassination sccno in tho fourth act. In
the lnttcr her acting was far above criticism.
Mr MacDowell as tho Ilaron Scarpla offered
a well nigh faultless portrayal of this, a
character In which an audience can find Jlt-
tlo to ndmlre and which Is a thankless ono
at best. The production was, llko Its prede
cessors, "Cleopatra' nnd "Fcdorn," sump
tuous and the company much better suited
lo It.
"FetliH'li"
"Fedora," one of Sardoti's famous works
of fiction, In which the elements of love,
hatred, Mint devotion nnd tragedy are closely
blended, wni tho offering presented by
Blanche "Walsh and Melbourne MacDowell
at Wednesday' mntlncv. It was produced
In a sumptuous manner. Tho dlfhcult title
rolo assumed by Miss Walsh was capably
Interpreted from tho moment sho appeared
In search of her assassinated lover until she
enacted tho death scene, tho victim ot self
ndmtnlstered poison. Right well did her
queenly beauty and splendor suit tho charac
ter of the beautiful princess, whoso deslro
for vengeance on tho man who had killed her
lover turned Into an nbsorblng Infatuation
when sho learned of tho Justifiable) circum
stances1 surrounding the affair. Miss Walsh
did not overdo her part, but was equal In
every respect to the difficult demands mndo
by It. Mr. MacDowell seemed to outdo him
self. Never lld ho appear more gracefully
an Lorls lpanoff, the suspected nihilist, but
In reality tho outraged husband. Tho sup
porting members of tho cast proved able as
sistants to tho principals nnd contributed
their share to an almost faultless production.

WASHINGTON, April 11. Tho full report
of tho arbitrators In the Delagoa Ray rail
road caao has been received at tho State
department by mall from Rerno. It Is found
to havo been substantially covered by tho
cable report forwarded by the United States
mlnlMcr at Rome, when the award was an
nounced. Tho award Is under consideration
und whllo tho first Impulso was to reject It
as totally Inadequato and unjust, It now
seems probablo that It must bo acceptod as
final. It Is doubted whether, even if the
United States government was disposed to
icpudlato tho arbitration, the British gov
ernment could be Induced to 110 likewise, for
notwithstanding tho predominance of tho
Ilrltlsh interests In thin particular ease
thero nro other considerations which might
make It better for England to mako a sc

tion would react.

Tho Ililtlbli government, the Associated
Prom is officially Informed, stands ready to
tako the part ot Portugal In case the Boers
attempt reprisals, but so far Portugal has not
applied for Ilrltlsh aid nor has she replied
to tho Doer notification.

tho situation is admitted to ho grave tho

sensus of opinion is that should the Boors
attempt reprisals It would react to tho ad

James W. Unrper. formerly Judge In to-n
2. superior court. Indianapolis, is fond of
telling il good story on himself of how ho
received a fco that was entirely unexpected.
Ten or fifteen jears ago, relates the Indian
nxills Journal. Judge Harper kept his office
in the Vanco block. One day he was con
sulted by a merchant of this city, who will
bo known as a In the story. The mer
chant wns badly embarrassed, as ho owed
nbout $20,000 and tho wholesnle houses were
pressing him. He camo to Attorney Harper
for advlco. Tho Inwyer learned that
0 's wife had eome time boforo come
Into possession of about ll.BOO which had
been given ber by her father. This money
sho had loaned her husband and it was In
vested In his business.
Tho eittorney advised O to secure his
wife tho Ilrst thing nnd ho did so. "Well,
wo flnnlly got tho matter settled up." said
Judgo Harper In telling the story tho other
day, "and (J . and his wife Btarted In
business ngaln. Tho creditors of course
wero losers to a certain extent, but I felt
It my duty to advise tho man to look after
hie family first I didn't seo him for sev
eral weeks after tho business was settled
and I began to wonder about my fee. I ought
to havo had at least J200, 1 thought. Q
didn't corao around and ono day I sent
him a tioto asking him to cull at my oftice.
Ho camo In a day or two and I asked about
my fee, stating Hint I would bo willing lo
square up for 1100. I also recalled to his
mind thnt I had performed a legnl servlco
for him to tho best of my ability and I
thought I should be paid. As soon as I
finished my speech 0 Jumped up and
started for tho door.
" 'I haven't got time to talk about that to
day,' ho snapped as he went out the door.
Of courso I mado up my mind that my foj
was not an ussurcd thing and I let the
nnttcr run on for a few months. Finally
ono day I met 0 on tho sidewalk In
front of tho Vanco block and I 'held him
up.' I asked him to como to the ofilco, ns
I wanted to talk to him. Ho was Inclined .to
bo a llttlo Impatient and wanted to know
If I couldn't do my talking whero I was.
" 'Well, 1 might, U ,' said I. 'but It Is
possible I might say somo things that you
would not want tho public to hear.'
"I think Q understood that he had
better como to tho office, and ho signified
his willlngnem to como with me. Wo came
upstairs, nnd us soon an wo got Into the
olfico ho drew a piece ot paper from his
pocket, and, throwing It down on the table,
ho remarked: 'Tako that or nothing.'
"I picked up tho piece of paper and saw
that it was a noto that hnd been given by
a man named H several years before.
It had been outlawed long ago. Tho princi
pal nnd Interest amounted to something
over $800. 1 knew Mr. II , and remem
bered that ho had become bankrupt several
years before. I shoved tho note in tho
drawer of my desk as a worthless instru
ment. A week or two later, however, I got
to thinking about tho matter and sat down
and wrote 13 a noto, nsking him to call
at my offico If he should happen to be In
my neighborhood. He camo within a few
days, and I showed him tho note.
" 'Yea,' said he, 'I gavo that note, nnd
It Is perfectly good. Now, I'll say to you
that within ton dnys I'll pay $200 on that I
noto and will Bettlo tho remainder by pay
ing $100 or $200 every month.' Of course
1 was amazed. I said to H that I
would only ask him to pay $100, but' ho
Insisted that he would pay every dollar ot
It. Then I suggested that he only pay the
principal.
" 'No, sir,' ho declared, 'I owe the In
terest, too, and since I nm making money
now I expect to iiay overy cent of it.'
"Well, to tnako a long story short, that
man, within a few months, paid off every
dollar that the no'o called for. A short
tlmo after he had finished paying the note
O came Into my 'ofilco ono day. What
do you think ho said to me? Ho said ho
had understood that 11 had paid off the
note In full, and slnco I had only demanded
a fee of $100, her supposed I would pay over
the remainder to him. Did I do It? Not
much. I simply recalled to 0 's mind
that ho had thrown an apparently worth
less noto on my desk with the suggestion
that I 'tako that or nothing.' 0 smiled
and walked out of tho office."

Ilnw It Would ( iiliipnro Hit tho
.Small Coins of Other NkIIimin,
A report has gained currency ot late, re
ports tho Washington Star, that tho Treas
ury department Is contemplating tho re
newed issue ot tho half-cent piece, discon
tinued as part of the metal money output
about fifty yenrs ago. This project Is In
response to a demand by both the offereis
and the purchasers ot tho "bargains" which
form so large a part of tho retail trade In
largo cities at present.
In many European countries these small
fractional coins are in wide circulation
among tho lower claFses, some of them
very artistic in design. Among theso of
current uso aro the bagattino, Venetian,
worth one-eighth of a cent of our money;
tho Italian centesimo, worth ono-Ilfth of 11
cent; tho doneshka, Russian, worth one
third of a cent; tho Russian copek, worth
two-thlrds of a cent; tho polushka, also
Russian, worth one-sixth of a cent; tho
maravedl and cuarto, Spanish, worth, re
spectively, two-fifths and three-fourths of
a cent; tho ore, Danish, worth one-quarter
of a cent; tho Moorish floos, worth ono
sixth of a cent; tho granto of Malta, worth
one-sixth of a cent, tho holler and kreutzer
of Austria, worth one-quarter and ono-half
a cent, and a largo number of tiny Persian
coins of varying denominations. Thero
might bo difficulties In tho way of re-cstnb-llshlng
the American half-cent as a prac
tical coin which are not presented In tho
currency systems of tho older countries.
Tho present penny Is considered by many
ns small ns a coin should be, nnd a coin
half bb largo would bo of inconvenient slzo.
Tho manufacture of tho penny of a differ
ent metal than bronze nnd tho half-cent of
a baser metal, with a slight difference In
their sizes, might sulfico if tho colors ot
the two wero sufficiently distinct to pro
vent confusion. There need bo no argu
mont against the Introduction of this small
hit of money on tho ground thnt It won'd
encumber tho pockets, for It would probably
never find Its way Into the pockets that
would not welcomo it as an ovldenco ot
economy.
