Omaha nnd Minneapolis mot at the local
park yesterday afternoon nndplayod the last
game of tholr ilrst series in tho'presence of
nbout ono thousand spectators.
And once more Omaha won.
The victory was duo to ono thing , nnd that
was to the Omaha players' superior hitting
ability. They found Vintor.'s curves from
the ntnrt , and kept up a constant fusllado
throughout the entire struggle.
Strauss opened up by Hying out from the
rubescont Hnnralmn to I'earso. Then Mr.
Vlnton unlinked his long form nnd tried to
knock the ox-president's ' brains out by
nmaxhing him In the cerebellum with the
Everybody hollored"Ouch I" but Cleveland
wasn't hurt so bad but what ho reached flrst
nil right.
"Now I'll send you in for tlmt , " sang Mr.
Urooks. ns he spat upon his delluato paws
nnd took his position at the plato.
And ho camu within nn aea of fulfilling
his words , for the first ball pitched hoeaught
full on the pruboscts and sent whizzing way
out In deep center for u couple of bags ,
Clnvoland , of course , reaching third.
The next man to face the box was Cooncy ,
HO'H little , but oh myl
Yinton gave him n good ball , but Instead
of smashing It , ho only Jabbed n largo hole
in the circumambient utmosphoru.
The Minnesota twirler grinned at him
sardonically.
That made Coonoy mad , and the next ball
Yinton cut loose , the llttlo man with the big
bat caught it just right , inul it wont sailing
way nut against the right Held fence for
thrco bases.
Cleveland nnd Crooks walked homo to
gether , arm in arm.
Then thu people in the grand stand opened
their faces in ono long , prodigious howl.
Walsh was the next batter up. Ho hit the
ball savagely on a line for Heiiglo , and
Honglo gathered It In with neatness and
dispatch , Uut ho didn't stop hero , hut
whirling with the oulckncss of thought as
Victor llugo has it ho hurled the globu-
latcd pigskin to old .loo Miller , and caught
Mr. Coonoy olThU base , thereby effecting a
, very recherche double play.
Two runs In , und the people said the same
lold puddln' .
In their half the visitors , notwithstanding
'that they touched Daddy Clarlto up for two
nice singles , failed to got n man aeross the
plato.
The second was unproductive for
cither sldo , but in the tnird there
was some pretty work. Coonoy succeeded
In reaching first on an exquisite bunt , nnd
then after the Gallic count had struck out.
President Cleveland again nitpeared within
the uronn. There were symptoms of lifo's
fluid trickling about In his usual dnvo-llko
Visual organs , and everyone felt that ho was
nbout to call Mr. Yinton down for smashing
in his occiput in the previous ) Inning.
The pitcher was evidently inclined to the
same belief , and ho bout his lissome form for
u mighty effort.
Old Huffalo. however , was watching him ,
and he lifted his tree menacingly.
Whiz ! came the sphere !
Then there was a ringing crack like the
report of a shotgun , and a thin , bluish streak
was descried glancing athwart the emerald
field over Daly's head , and before the batter
I could make up his mind that it was the ball ,
Elmer landed , pullliiK like a | > orpoisu , on
third , while Coonoy scooted homo.
Crooks was quickly on hand , and , sans
ceremony , lined out a beauty to right and
the President walked In , tapped the plato
with his too and went and s.it Uown. Of
course , this was all very uxhlllratlng , and
BO mo pcoplo cheered so much that they got
very hoarso.
That uiiulo four runs.
For tlio Minnies , Turner wascasily'thrown
oueivt first , but Daly got u nlco ono and hit
It for a couple of sacks. 13lg AVest struck
1.4- out , but Hanrahan corked out a flno ttiree-
bagger and sent Daly homo with an earned
run.
In the fourth every blessed ono of the white
logs got a crack nt Yiuton , and on three
bases on balls , u thrco-bagger each by
Coonoy and Mossltt and a two-bagger by
Daddy Clarke , Nagle nnd Messitt , Clarke ,
StraUbs anil Crooks crossed the plate.
SJTho runs were now piling up like a Hima
layan peak , and the ono thousand spectators
wont wild with Joy.
In their half , Captain Hcnglo hit out a
savage two-sackor , wont to third on a wide
pitch , and scored on Pcarse'a out.
Aud that was all the Minaio-j could do , and
nobody cared a continental.
But thcro was no stonping the Omahogs.
for they eamo right back as chipper ami
sassy as over , and on hits by Nuglo and
Strauss , a missed third strike and an error
by Daly , added two nioro tallies to their
sroro ,
For the Minnies Tumor opened up
by hitting safe. Daly drove him
homo on a three-bagger , then \Vost
was speedily dlspo ed of , and then Daly
crossed the plato on u wild pitch. Hnnralmn
was given a life by Walsh's error , but was
shortly after doubled up nicely with Miller ,
by n skillfully handled ball by Clarke , Crooks
mid MesslU.
Omaha was Chfcagoed In the sixth.
That was sad.
Then tho. Minnies secured another run.
Cjimvau muffed Poarso's nigh lly , ho was
forced to second by Dugdnlo'u base on balls ,
nnd scored on 'rumor's hit.
The seventh ylolued two singles and a
double for Omaha , and yet they only suc
ceeded in getting a single man home.
The Mii.inio3 made one also.
Tlmt was tit for tat.
Omaha drew blanks In both the eighth nnd
ninth , and it looked Just as if they did it on
purpqso.
Hunglo'a men , too , wont out without profit
in the eighth , but in the ninth , on n ) mse.on
balls and a two-bagg'or , they irot their sev
enth and last rim.
And so the fair dream faded.

AMUSEMKNTS.
Uockstader's minstrels opened at the 13oyd ,
last night , to nn audience of Omaha's very
best eitucns that filled the house. Staid , old
banlieis , solid merchants , sleek looking law
yers , ping hatted doctors and the swell ,
younK club men , with their wives , daughters
and sweethearts , were there in such force
that the event reminded ono strongly of n
night nt the opera , rather than a minstrel
show. Hut Dockstador boasts of thu refine
ment and polish of his entertainment , and
the pcoplo have como to understand that he
does not disappoint them. Every scat was
llllcd In the theater , last night , and
i oars of laughter and applause greeted
every story , ovury Joke and specialty glvon.
The principal actors are picked artists , and
do their work as it should bo done. However -
over , special reference to John A. MoWado.
the one-armed singer , Is particularly de
served , for the reason11 that such .1 voice as
his among the black-face professional is
rarely heard. Six years ago ho made quito
a reputation in comlo opera with the Chicago
Church Choir and Chicago Ideal Opera com
panies , which traveled through the west.
Ills solo , "Pioturua of Homo , " was tlio
musical gem of last night's performance. In
his topical songs nnd modern Batirirations
on current events , Low Uoehstndor simply
kept his auditors convulsed with laughter.
The lamous Luke Schoolcraft , Harry Max

song nnd dance teams were nlso very good ,
and the llnalu , entitled a "Musical Hlu/ard"
something entirely now. The company will
apuear nguiu to-night.
From present indications It would snem
that the attendance ot tlio Booth and Bar

the largest over known. Arrangements are

HnE.l Wlillo Bomo gypsies wcro fishing
nlonu tlio banks of the Logan river near

homc-mado pocketbook , containing several
loiters and other capers , among which were
ntax receipt from J. L , Huckmnn , treasurer

Is now burled beneath the waters of the

miles or so , but Uiu not succeed in llndnc |
the body. Among ether letters were found
several from a lady , who signed her nnmo
"Margaret. Murgont. " These were very af
fectionate , but the latest ono , dated the 8th
of March last , contained the following dis
heartening intelligence :
"My Dear William : I am sorry , butmothor

want to go , but , of course , can not disobey

Several weeks ago a young man appeared
In this town , with ono arm In n sling. Ho
seemed despondent , and although ho sunmud
to have some means , ho stated to different
parties that he wished ho tiad broken his
neck Instead of his arm , and said ho had a
notion to wind up his earthly career. It Is
believed hero that the papers and clothes
found belong to this young man , and that ho
made good his throats by choosing n watery
grave in the Logan.
A Farmer's IVII'o Suicides.
FKKMOS'T , Neb. , April 22. [ Special to THE
BED. ] Mrs. Frahm , wife of Hans Prahin , n
Inrinor and truck raiser living in Saundcrs
county , flvo miles southeast of Fremont ,
committed sulcido by poisoning yesterday
morning. Mr. Frahm was moving from his
old residence to a new ono about two miles
from Fremont , and ho transferred n largo
portion of his effects to his now place Satur
day evening. Mrs. Frahm and her ten-year-
old daughter remained nt the old place over
night to protect what property was loft there
and to do the milking on Sunday morning.
In the morning the daughter wont ton neigh
bor's , and while absent Frahni arrived from
the now place. Ono of the first sights which
greeted him was his wlfo lying dead in the
front yard close to the door. She had been
sitting In a rocking ctinir In frontof the house
and had fallen forward to the ground upon
her face , tipping the chair over. Coroner
Stone , of Mend , was summoned and an in
quest was hold at an early hour this morn
ing , the Jury bringing in a verdict of sulcido
by poisoning. Mrs. Frahtn was about forty-
live years old. Besides her husband , she
leaves three children. Mr. and Mrs. Frahni
have novcr lived together in the peace und
harmony that should prevail between hus
band and wife and the strong presumption is
that the woman was led to kill herself on nc-
countof their domestic troubles.

THe EIFFEL TOWER.
How the Tnllos't Artificial Structure
On thu Knrtli Iinokn To-day.
The monstrous tower designed by En
gineer EifTol for the Paris exposition
lins three stories or divisions , snys the
Vossloho Zoltuntr. The first story is
sixty metres high ( n , motr.o is oqiml to
thirty-nine inches ) nnd rusts on four
arches which join the four foundation
columns thiit carry upon them the entire -
tire weight of the lingo tower.
The tower lias four distinct sections.
Each wing Is provided with a refresh
ment saloon that may be reached by
means of _ winding sUilro jis under the
foundation nlurs. Notwithstanding the
center of the space tins been set apart
for the elevator there still remains4,200
square metres of lloor room for the ao-
oommodation bf visitors who may dcslro
to promenade and enjoy u view of the
city from that height.
The apartments are very roomy , and
precautions hnvo been taken to insure
ttio visitors against all possibility of ac
cident.
An Iron railing about four feet high ,
with an arched roof to exclude the in
tense ravs of the sun , surrounds the ex
treme edge of the platform , as it may
be called , which 1ms boon reserved ns a
promenade by these who desire to walk
about. The requirements for the com
fort of the inner man , too , have not
been forgotten. Kitchens , storerooms ,
ice chests and the like have boon fitted
up in the most handy manner imagin
able , so there is little occasion to fear
that the supply of "stimulating refresh
ment will give out , even in the days
when such lodgings In the hotels and
private houses will not bo obtainable
for loyo or money. Each ono of the four
cafes is provided with a collar capable
of storing 200 tons of wine.
Everything about the structure is ab
solutely fireproof , for iron is the only
material that has been used in its con
struction. Two thousand persons per
hour can ascend and descend its stair
cases loading to the platform , and 4,000
can find seats to rest upon In the cafes
at ono time. , t
The second story , which is sixty
metres above the first ono , is nlso
reached by four'Staircases built inside
of the supporting columns , which make
a , sharp inward hurve , leaving but 1,100
square metres of surface for the plat
form and promoilado. Hero , too , in the
commodious nnd-handsomoly decorated
cafe the thirsty and tired sight-seer
may ilnd something more potent than
Seine water to recuperate his strength.
This story is'tiinety-ono ' metres above
the tip of the Notre Dame steeple and
higher than tho.iowcr of the palace-
Trocadoro , on tlio other side of the
river , and , as mily easily be imagined ,
the view of thu surrounding country to
be had from silclrun altitude is almost
indescribable. From hero on the col
umns of the lower fall in towards each
ether until theyascend a distance of
U75 metres above the ground , whore the
third und last story is situated.
Only ono staircase leads to the third
story , which is for the exclusive use of
the persons employed in the tower , und
all visitors are expected to use the ele
vators , two in number , to roach that
point. The platform is eighteen metres
square , still largo enough to erect
thereon a comfortably sized dwelling.
The view hero is simply superb. The

Mr. Biuicrol't'N Shattered Mind.
The venerable historianGcorgo Ban
croft , owing to his declining mental'
faculties , has desisted from all attempts
at further literary work , says a Wash
ington letter to the PittsbuVg' Commer
cial. During the past few years ho hns
had in contemplation tho'writing of a
history of the Polk administration , of
which ho was the flr t secretary of the
nayy and subsequently filled with great
honor to himself and the ijrosidont the
post of minister to Great Britain. The
researches necessary to a proton tation
of the acts'of that administration had
boon complated and all the materials
were in his hands , but the mental
change soon gave force to the fact that
he must regard his literary life
at an end. Conversing with his
friends ho admits that ho had
not the will to lead to ambition or inter
est in further literary enterprises' . It
evident from the conversations of Mr.
Bancroft that ho'has felt the approach
of that weakening ! $ his mental facul
ties for the past foSs'i years , and in view
of this fact ho has given much of his
to a careful rovisldniof all his publica
tions of a pormanot historic character ,
and ha's' had all1 copyrights renewed ,
which will give U ) 'his declining days
and subsequently his heirs the reward
of literary labors fprsomo , years to come.
The case of Mr. Bancroft seems to bo a
very peculiar ono. ifcTho suHponsion of
Ills mental fneulties > are not por'manont.
Among the favorite recreations during
these days is the onjpymont of a game
of whist , on which ocasslons his memory
Booms to bo as aqtiv.o as tovor , as ho
plays the game \yith all his natural
vigor and interest.

Tlio Omnlia Sumlny Delivery.
It is only for an hour at noon that the
general delivery windows at the post-
ofllco are opened on Sunday , and it is
only during that hour upon the first
day of the week that the lower ton thou
sand whoso emaciated purses forbid the
luxury of r. lock-box , can got their mail.
As n consequencetho crowd that is
gathered there when the windows are
thrown open is as herotogoneous a mass
of humanity as may bo found anywhere.
Its members are drawn nearly entirely
from the "common herd , " although
there nro exceptional cases when people
ple filling a more pretentious part in
the cnsto of life can bo soon standing
apart from the rest , looking upon their
less fortunate fellows with a Pharlsool-
cal ga-/e-
It Is not nn orderly crowd. Men
and women , young boys and girls jostle
nnd elbow each ether in a Uosiro
to got near the windows In
order to bo among the first
to receive attention from the clerks
when the apertures shall bo opened.
Chivalry is unknown to this crowd and
the weaker , including the women , soon
Und themselves in the rear.
As early us 11 o'clock many persons
nro already gathered In the lobby , wait
ing stolidly for tlioDwindows to to
opened. Loaning lazily against the
walls meanwhile , or else amusing themselves
solves by gazing through the window
at the passers by. The crowd swell
and grows until , at noon , it number
two or throe hundred people.
The windows are finally opened with
a bane , and immediately there is a
crush from the rear , and these nearest
the -windows fool themselves jammed
against the partitions. Two young
ladies stand behind the delivery waitIng -
Ing to servo the motley crowd. They
try their best to look pleasant , but their
success is only partial. This hour , at
noon , is a perpetual bugbear to them ,
looked forward to during alt
the week witli dread. A ma
jority of these who await their
turn before the windows are not
much given to courtesy , ana if the de
sired and long-expected letter is not
forthcoming , they are very liable to un-
bottlc the vials of their wrath and pour
the contents upon the devoted heads of
the clerks.
Out of curiosity , a reporter walked
down to the postolllce last Sunday at
noon and took a position near the windows
dews , whore ho could see and hear
what transpired and still escape the
jostling of the crowd of impatient pee
ple. Finding it a physical impossibility
to watch both windows , ho devoted his
attention entirely to the ono nearest
him.
DTho first person to demand the atten
tion of the clerk was a buxom Irish
matron , whoso two hundred pounds o
polid avoirdupois had been solidly
jVntod directly in front of the window
a half hour or more before , nnd
had proven as unassailable as
the rocks of Gibraltar and
successfully resisted the efforts
of the crowd to send their possessor to a
less advantageous position. "
"An'shuro , I would loiko to know U
ye have ony lotthors hero for Misthross
Mary McCarthy , " said she.
Tlio clerk turned , soix.od a package of
letters , and ran hastily over them.
"None to-day"sho said , as she placed
the package back in its proper place.
A look of disappointment passed over
the homely , honest face of the woman ,
as she slowly turned and elbowed hoi-
way through the crowd. Tlio reporter
could not but watch her as she passed
through the door and into the street ,
and conjecture as to whom the longed-
for letter was exported to come from.
Ono of "tho childer , " perhaps , left
behind upon the ' 'ould son , " or , per
chance , an aged mother or father
across the seas on the dear isle.
While these tohughts were Hit
ting through the mind of the |
news man , hovcrai poisons had put
the momentous question to the clerk
and either received letters or the dis
heartening shako of the head.
When ho again directed his attention
to the window a specimen of the genus
bum was leering through the aperture
at the young lady as she ran over the
letters. Tlio man was actually filthy.
Croat streams of tobacco juice orna
mented his chin and shirt front , and lie
had about him tlio odor peculiar alone
to the police station. The reporter did
not catch his name , but it is s nfo to say
that it was but one of many under whicti
the follow had been known at different
times. There wcro no letters for him ,
but there was no disappointment writ
ten upon his face when ho was told so.
That ho exported mail is doubtful ,
b'ut men of his cla s have a penchant
for calling for letters several times' a
day. in tlio hopes perhaps that one
might come and some unexpected piece
of good luck bo disclosed , from someone ,
from somewhere.
lie was followed by three or four
ordinary looking persons , without nny
distinct characteristics , und then there
presented itself before the window one
of these gaudily dressed , brazen-faced
won/on , whose calling is only too appar
ent. She eallcd n number of differ
ent names , not all of which the reporter
could catch , but they evidently had
boon taken by the owner or owners from
some cheap novel and adopted without
ooromony.
She was followed by a dandified ne
gro. His low cut vest revealed some
thing less than a yard of glistening shirt
front.
"Hnsyoh nny communications heah
for Mister Chnwlos' Mon'gomoryV" ho
inquired , as ho stroked his salmon col
ored kids.
Mr. Montgomery received a Icttur ad
dressed in red ink and with many
llourisho.s , Ho retired to ono corner to
poru'iO ' its contents and was still there
when the windows closed n half hour
later , deeply cncnifeecd epclling out the
contents of his "communication. "
And then came two or three nonde
script characters that shufllcd dtblidly
up to the window , gave their mimes , but
received only a nhako of the head.
Tlio next seeker after mail was a
fussy , pompous individual , who looked
like a Cheap John drummer. JIo gave
his name and watched the girl snow-
Inglynssho ran through Uie-paoknge.
The young huly evifTCnlly know the
character of" tlio follow. "None ' , " she
said"laconically , when &ho hud' lanfed
at the last loiter of the bundle.
"None ! I know better than that. Lot-
tore were bent mo here a week ago and
arc hero now , and I Intend to hnvo
them. "
"Thero Is no mull for yon hero1 rcltj
orated the young ludy , looking thu
straight In the eye. She was ovldontlv
crowing angry. Her eyes Hashed nnd
her lips twitched , nnd it was evidently
only by n , supreme effort that she con
trolled her temper. "There Is no mall
for you , " she continued , and , consequently
quently , you'll got nono. "
"I know hotter ; there is mall In there
for mo"shouted the unreasonable brute.
"You'ro too smart , any "
HangI wont the window , shut in the
fellow's face , nnd as several minutes
passed by and the young lady showed
no intention of opening it again , the
man finally gave way to others and departed -
parted , vowing vengeance on the clerk ,
the postmaster , the postmnstor-goneral
and the general government.
When ho had loft the window was reopened -
opened and business resumed. Men ,
women and children of the most varied
types passing up to the windows , paus
ing n minute and tlion going awnv ,
cither empty-handed or with a longed-
for missive clutched closely to the
broast. There is a strain of sentiment
running through it all. An imagina
tive man couldn't stand before these
windows for an hour on Sunday without
witnessing and hearing that which will
make him more thoughtful nnd his
heart more sad.
A few typos of these who call for
mail hnvo been given , but only a few
a very fow. There nro many others
that might bo written of. A sad-eyed
woman , deserted perhaps by the one
who hud promised long ago in the
morning of lifo to love and cherish ,
comt's there , hoping , trusting that it is
all "ii mistake ; that no has been swept
away by uncontrollable circumstances ,
and watching , patiently waiting for the
letter that is to toll her that this is so.
A grey-haired mother totters up to the
window. There is a son out in the
world somewhere , and with what fever
ish anxiety does she watch thu dbt ( lin
gers of the clerk as they My through
the package , and what ioy It will bring
her on this qniot Sunday morning if
there is but a few lines there from him.
And still there nrothors. . An erring
daughter , longing for a letter from
homo , forgiving all and calling her back ,
and a prolligato son hoping that "tho
old man 1ms sent him borne stuff , " nnd
so on down through the whole category
of characters that go to make up that
great portion of the earth's population
that stand on a plane a few steps lowcs
down tlio grade of society than "ur
aristocrats of the upper classes. "
Sentiment'1 ; Yes , thcro is a strain of
sentiment running through it all.
Fragments of lives tire thrown
carelessly together in a kaleidoscopic
mass at these windows , chapters from
volumes only.
And so the hour is consumed. The
crowd dwindles , and when the windows
close they have all been borvod and
have departed , but there still linger
about the place the odors of tobacco and
vile wliisKy , and the lloor is covered witli
tobacco juice. One can sympnthizo
with the lady clerks as they turn from
the window with a sigh of relief. A
most dreaded task has been done.
There are throe of those general de
livery clerks in the ollice , and they are
Miss Lena Nlsson , Mrs. May Preston
and Miss Emma Krutli. Thoir's is
work that would try tlio best , of tem
pers , but it is seldom indeed that tlie.se
young ladies become impatient. Asa
rule they nro sunsliino Itself as they
stand back of these windows through
which daily pass stories of joy , sorrow ,
death , disiibtor and crime.
