The first of these circumstances \vns Dugdalo's allowing Cleveland to score in the first Inning by throwing the ball Bovoral feet over llenglo's head In an at tempt to cntoH Crooks at soconu. The second was the fact that the Omaha men managed to bunch most of their hits fn the fifth nnd Bovonth Innings. The third was Tumor's costly error , nnd the fourth was the run that 'Force gave the visitors In the seventh. Tur ner's error was made In tbo fifth , when , with two men out and two on bases , Crooks sent a grounder botwccu Minchan and Turner.

It seems ns if the poor little lemon Imd arrived nt the height of its useful ness when nmdo to do duty , with thu adjunct of 10 cents worth of citric ncid , for a barrel of lemonade ; but now the "Progressive Lomou Party" is brought to the front , and hero it plays u part un- nssistod by nny chomicul compounds of itself , says the Pliilnttolphia Record. A prominent Washington lady issued invitations last week which read : * MKS. JONES , At homo , Tuesday , 7 P. M. Please bring a lemon. Of course , every ono who received ono of thcso mysterious summonses was consumed by curiosity. It reminded ono oC the incident of a southern sena tor who received n card with the caba listic loiters signifying that the owner had "called in person. " Not under standing the card etiquette of Wash ington ho sent his card in return , with the letters "S. B. N. " in one corner. What could it moan ? No ono seemed to know , so the recipient determined to ascertain if possible. The next time ho saw his "friend ho remarked : "Say , senator what do the letters 'S. B. N. ' mean on your cardV" "Why , sent by a ui ger , of courso. " After greeting each guest tha hostess naked her to" "take her lemon to the dining-room and register. " The din ing-room was a , blaze of golden light from tiny fairy lamps with yellow shades. The dining-tablo had lemon- colored silk napery , which was received by n lint contry-pioco of delicate ferns and Catharine Merraot roses. At a side table _ sat n lady and gentleman , who , all were informed , composod'tho ' " Committee. " This "Squeezing com mittee took the name on a register , nnd tied a ribbon , marked in such n way as to ho distinguishable on each lemon. After the arrival of all the guests and the marking of all the lemons , they were invited to again assemble in the diningjroom while the "Squeezing committee counted the seeds.1' Each lemon , was cut in half , the seeds ex tracted , and , nftor being counted and duly accredited to the owner on the register , they wore placed in a beauti ful transparent glass bowl. The lemon was taken by the "Squeez ing committee" and "squozo" into an immense punch-bowl. The puosts were then invited.to a repast of strictly lem- on-mado edibles lemon ice , lemon ice cream , lemon cuke , lemon jelly , sar dines and Ionian , lemon cream pic , und every conceivable sort of lomon-tluvored food. Placed beside each plate was a hunch of yellow roses tied with a satin bow of the same shade. After partaking of this unique repast the glass bowl containing the scuds was placed on the table , nnd a prize ot- ferou to her who should guess the num ber of seeds therein , and n "booby prize" to liim who should hazard the less accurate guess. After numerous efforts , both fair and foul , had boon re sorted to , aud each "guess" had been duly registered , the seeds were counted and the prizes aivurdod. The winner of the grand prize , coming within three of the correct number , received an exquisite - quisito lemon-colored Icrnoiuulo bowl , while the "booby" was made happy with a wooilon lemonade squeezer. A prize was then awarded to her whoso lemon contained the most goods , and another to her who had the fewest. Meanwhile skillful hands hnil prepared - pared a punch in tlio largo bowl , into which the lemons were squeezed. Cushman's Menthol Inhaler , cures catarrh , headache , neuralgia , asthma , hay Fovor.

It is a well-known fact among physicians that a swollen prominence of the upper part of the oar occurs often in crazy people , and is nn invariable indication of hope less lunucy. Among prize lighters the same peculiar mane is soon , resulting from frequent pummoliug ol the head. The swelled oar of a lighter is prized by him as a distinction second only to a broken nose , nnd in time becomes an established trade mark ; but the indi viduals who came forward to illustrate "hoHiwtoinla" or tumorous oars were sowowhat ohargliicd to find that their professional sign also belongs to tlio worst cases of the mad house.

The board of park commissioners hold n longtby session , yesterday afternoon , tlio principal nubjcot of discussion being the stops that slmll bo tnlcon yet this summer for the Improvement of the parks already owned by the city with the funds now available. The following loiter was received from Mr. II. W. Sj Cleveland , landscapes gardener , of Minneapolis : To the Homl of Park Commissioners of the City of Omaha. Gentlemen : In at tempting to prepare n report upon a n system of parks adapted to the wnnta of your city , after the cursory inspection I was able to make under your guidance in the two days I Bponb there , It will bo obvious to you that I must conllno myself to a statement of gen eral principles , without committing myself definitely In regard to special localities or size of areas , hoping only that I may nld you lu determining these questions by sugges tions , which your Knowledge ) of local neces sities and resources will enable you to apply. The amount of land required for parks is , of course , a matter of primary nnd vital in terest , and can only bo determined by refer ence to tho. lessons of experience clsowhore , couplud with an estimate of the probable future extent and population of the city , and a judicious application of these data to the topographical features and ullmatio condi tions of the case in hand. The following table shows thn Tark areas , and the proportions of population per acre to these areas , lu some of the principal cities of-tho Uuitod States uud Europe : Popula tion per Area of ncro of Population , parks. parks. Boston 400,000 2.000 200 Providence 133,000 1S3 1,000 New 1'ork 1,8W,000 ! 4,003 376 Philadelphia 071,803 3,000 823 Chicago 701,000 3,000 234 St. Louis 400.0QO 2,233 170 San Francisco. . . 270,000 1,181 211 London 3,832,000 23,000 174 Paris 2,270,000 03,000 87 Berlin 1,122,000 0,000 220 Vienna 1,103,000 8,000 133' Brussels 380,000 1,000 380 In comparing thcso nroas you can not fall to bo struck by the vastly greater proportionate tionate nrca of parks in European cities as compared with our own country , and the inference Is natural that their longer ex perience has Impressed upon them the necessity - cossity of such provision lor the health and comfort of the inhabitants. It is obvious , however , that the circumstances of the sit uation must in every case exert an important influo ncc , and thcso may differ so .widely that the experience of one city may afford no criterion for another. Many of the old European cities wore formerly , as some are still , enclosed in walls witnin which economy of space demanded very narrow streets. Modern military science has rendered the walls useless , and sanitary science has de veloped the necessity of relief from the nm- lana incident to such lack of ventilation as was a consequence of such confinement. Tno broad avenues which ere customary" in most of our western cities relieve us of the need of such Ircqucnt breathing places as are found necessary In the moro closely built cities , and if the site is upon the shore of a great lake or river , that fact alone Insures for all tiino n sufilclcnt ventilation for the quarters immediately udjacant. Of the American cities in the above list , if wo talco the six which have moro than two hundred thousand inhabitants and strike an average -ot the proportions of park area to population , wo find it to give one aero of park to every 253 Inhabitants , Provnlonco , with only I23.UOO Inhabitants , has only one ncro for every 1,000 of her population. But Providence enjoys the peculiar topographi cal advantage of being divided by a broad arm of the sea , which enters the city on the southern side , s > o that the prevailing winds duni'g the hot season are tempered and pu- ritled by sweeping over the salt water into the city. Nevertheless , no city In the east ern states is making moro earnest efforts to enlarge its area of park lands than Provi- dcnco , and I am not aware of u single in- btixnco of a complaint from any city of hav ing too much park land. On the contrary , In every case within my experience , they have proved so advantageous , not only to the health nnd beauty , but to the pecuniary in terests of the cities which have adopted a Judicious system of park improvements , that the opposition which at first is sure to bo awakoucd , Is equally sure to bo effectually silnnced by the result. The most strenuous opponents to Central park , in Now York , In Its early stages , were capitalists , who declared its creation would bankrupt the city. In reality It was only the increased revenue resulting from the crea tion of Central park that saved the city from bankruptcy , at the time of the collapse of the Tweed ring. The whole cost of Central park for the lirst twenty-five years of Its existence , including lirst cost of land , con struction and maintenance of the park , and interest on bonds was , in round numbers , ยง 44,000,000. The receipts from taxes in wards adjacent to the park during that sumo period were $110,000,000. The average-rate of increase in taxable values elsewhere would have given but ? 30,0'M,000 for these waads , which leaves JBO.000,000 to bo cred ited to the park. If from tins wo deduct the whole cost of the park , there remains : i clear protlt of 810.000,000 , besides which tlio city owns the park clear of debt , which Is now worth not loss than $200,000,000 , nnd It would It bo idle to attempt to estimate the incidental revenue accruing annually to the city from the uncounted millions of visitors to these beautiful scones , which it scorns tome mo but yesterday were nn "abomination of desolation" whoso dreary procmcts it was hardly safe for a respectable clti/on to pou- otrato. Tnu experience ofNow.iTonk Is but the typo of thai of every city that lias fol lowed her example , sis might bo ouslly dem onstrated by the park histories of every prominent city , and the le.sson taughtby it Is that true economy Is best subserved by a liberal appropriation of land while it can bo had at low rates , and by that I moan , com pared to what the rates will bo when thn nocii of the pork becomes pressing not with what it was when it was only wanted for a cow pasture. , * In the effort to pro lit by the experience of other cities in determining tbo proportionate area of parks to population wo must not overlook the fact that with the growth of the city the pressure of necessity gains in an Increasing ratio. With frco access to open fields and woods within u mile or two , wo think of parks only us luxuries , but when tbo dlstanco is so in creased that u day must bo devoted to the Journey In order to secure tho. boon of green fields nnd fresh air , the sense of confinement becomes stllliig and wo mourn the folly which prevented us from foreseeing and providing for the certain want. When Do Witt Clinton was governor of Now York in IbOD , ho tried to secure the reservation of a tract of 500 acres for n park for the future city. The tract selected for the purpose could then liavo boon bought for $1,000,000 , , but it was no remote from the city nnd ihosum seemed so enormous that the schema -was thought too vlaloiwry to merit serious attention. The cantor of that tract Is not far from whom the Fifth Avenue hotel now stands. It would require a good arithmetician to estimate how many millions the urea would bo worth to-day. And yet the opposition to Central park was scarcely less strenuous , and the sumo appeals were urirol against it that are every where rolled upon 10 win the favor of the multitudes who have only time uml opportunity to look superficially at the subject. Assuming as the least proportionate area necessary to future domunds , that an ncro should lie allotted to every 2" > 0 Inhnnitnnts , or four acres for every thousand , you perceive - coivo that 400 ncroj are required for u popu lation of 100,000. nnd 2,000 acres for 500,00) . Omaha already contains moru than 1UO,000 , mid at present is In no praising noodof u400 acra park , It would bo u luxury now , the want of which Is ao\ seriously felt because tno woods and llolui Ho all around within easy access. But It will bo an urgent neces sity when thn population has conioto bo half u million , and unless that necessity Is pro vided for to-day , its rallof will then bo Im possible except at such a uUtuucu as will in ft. Rront mcaaaro defeat the object. Your city is yet In its Infancy. Its situation is such that It Oilistof necessity bccomo a central - tral point of distribution nnd silpply for thu Vast roRloni.whoso resources of wealth are almost boyoml conception , anil the develop ment of which Is hardly begun. In view of thnao roiourocs , nnd watching as you do the steady trnmnof tha armies wnleh year nftor year nro i inarching through your streets to their conquest , do you still lack faith in the future of your cityl Or do you shrink il from proving your faith by your works ! You have noon by the data I have cited how other oltios have Buffered from delay. Can you hope to C3cap thD same penalties If you fall to tnlto xvarnln cfrorn their experience 1 Mav I bo panicked the nso of n fable In illustration I , j i In the early and legendary history of Homo It Is related that a sybil appeared to the emperor and offered him n volume of oracles , in which was recorded the future wants and possibilities of tha infant city. She de manded for It n prloo that ncomod BO ex orbitant that the olfor was declined , nnd she disappeared. Time rolled on , nnd n con viction of the coming grandeur of the city was dawning upon tha mind of tbo emperor , when the svbli agalu appeared and once more offered him the rejected volume. A leaf had boon torn from It on every day since her flrat appearance , but she still Jommided thn same prlco as then. Again It was dd- cllnod , and again she silently departed. A third time she appeared , when the city's magnificence was nn assured fact , and , with nu awakened perception of the valuoof what was lost , the emperor purchased the muti lated remnant nt the original cost , and learned from the pages that remained the Inestimable value of what ho bad failed to secure. The svbll Is Immortal. She Is making to you to-day the saiuo offer she made two thousand years ago to Homo. No flaming advertisements proclaim the value of her wares , and no seductive arguments are used to induce their purchase. Silently she dis plays them to us , and silently she turns awny , and it Is not till she tears the leaf from the rejected record that wo awake to the fact that another opportunity is forever lost. No city over secured the whole volume , but the longer the purchase Is delayed the more exorbitant is the price that must bo paid. I doom it a matter of primary Importance to secure pleasant and easily accessible re sorts for pedestrians. The wants of the very largo class , who rarely rldo except In public conveyances , and who can not afford the time , except upon an occasional holiday , to visit the largo parks , which are necessarily distant , have even n stronger claim to atten tion than these of the wealthy. Two methods present themselves by which a changn from the monotony of the streets may bo secured. 1. By the appropriation at occasional inter vals ot ono or more blocks to bo reserved as small parks. D2. By the construction of broad ornamental avenues , known , as boulevards or parkways , of such width throughout their whole extent as to admit of a broad space of ornamental ground in the center or at tno sides. The system of small parks is on many oc casions exceedingly desirable , uud I would not only urge the reservation and Improve ment of such arciis at such points as to bo easily accessible to these who most need them , but I would insist upon tlio similar improvement of the little vacant spaces which are liable to bccomo offensive as dust holes and. , receptacles ot rubbish. I would follow Oicf example of Pans , as dor scribed by a very , charming wrltor , whoso words I am glad tOj quote : "In Paris pub lie , gardening Is not confined to parks in ono end of the town , and absent from the places where it is most wanted. It follows the street builders' with trees , It turns little squuresinto gardens , unsurpassed for good taste "n'riif Deauty. It drops down graceful fountains- hero and there , and mar gins them with'rllqwcrs ; it presents to the eye of the poorpstAvorkraati every charm of vegetation , and , , brings film pure air , aud alms directly nud'oelYotively at the recrea tion and bonolivof .the people.1 * But these lllflo parks are comparatively local m character , aud but little frequented except by tlioscito whom their quiet seclusion Is their chief attraction. A moment's reJlcction will show the gupo- riority of the ijroad parkway , with a taste ful arrangement of. trees and shrubbery at its sides and In 'tho' center for the reason that it provides 'for i tlio wants of a far greater number of people , to whom it is easily accessible from adjacent quarters on cither side , for its whole length ; tbat it necessarily becomes a thoroughfare in which the zest of constant active life , with all Its attractive display of dross and oauipagc is combined with the graceful forms and re freshing verdure of natural beauty ; that property on its sides speedily ac quires very great value , whether for resi dences or the sides of publio buildings , hotels or magnificent shops , whllo no display of wealth in any other form contributes equally to Impress stronger * with the idea of civic grandeur as such liberal provision for the health , comfort nnd gratification of resi dents and visitors alikeIt is , of course , im possible to secure such avenues as 1 have suggested ( which ought not to bo loss than two hundred feet In widUO iu the already thickly peopled portion of the city. It Is for you to determine- whether it can be done in any portion of the present outskirts , which in a few years will became crystallzed beyond redemption In the forms uow given to them. If such opportunity can bo secured , I would urge Its adoption for the reasous I have given. If not it is surely of vital importance to secure , while you ra&y , such vacant areas in different localities as are available for small parks ; and , in this connection , allow me to correct n prevailing impression in reirard to park sites , which is that they must bo Intrinsically at tractive , nud picturesque or beautiful in their natural character. However desirable such features may bo , tnoro are other im portant considerations which few people think of , The same features which com. mend them for parks make them desirable for residences , and they can rarely bo had except at very great cost. On the other hand , tboro are almost rilways areas which , from some natural cause , are objectionable , as being low and swampy , or besot with outcropping ledges which render them undesirable residence quarters for want of drainage or grading , the cost of which cannot bo incurred by individuals. Such section ! ! uro liable to become offensive and unhealthy quarters , but for the very rea son that they aia undesirable , they may often bo secured at a loW rate , and then by tasteful Improvement ns parks the whole ad jacent territory is rendered attractive and property acquires such increased taxable value that the investment proves a far more lucrative ono for the city than the purchase of moro desirable and therefore- moro costly areas. I como finally to tbo question of largo parks , which , for obvious reasons , must bo ut considerable distance from thn central , business districts of tlio city. The need of such parks whenever the city * attains such proportion ? as In your case may bo reason ably expected , lias neon so often proved and so ably set forth' ' in voluminous literature- tliat It Is needless for mo to enlarge upon it , It would seem from the topographical character of your 'situation ' that the most convenient and economical system that could bo adopted would bpto secure such areas In the iiorlharnani'southern ) sections of thu city , in the fonuof Small parks for pedes trians , us may. provide for the wants of the future ' population , and a largo pork 'J6n. the west at the most central poTnt * that Is available. Of course it Is dcslr.lbio that the great central park should bo 119 . farther from the most densely populated sections of thu city ttmn is absolutely necl'jiaVy ' , but thu common no tion that itisdusuabiotohavoltln oloso prox imity to the business sections is , in my opinion , u mlstaUun One. The best illustra tion of my meaning' ' ra afforded by the "Com mon" in Boston , .vfulch is the must truly central park wtacll.uuy American city pos sesses. Aslonu' As'-it was surrounded by residences it Was rfniy regarded with favor , but since the tUreols on three sides of It have been appropriated for commercial uses the effort has been no Vigorously nunli ) to bUbdl- vide and appropriate portions of It to other uses than those for which , U was ominally intended , that nothing short of the clearest proof of the. lllogality of the measure , saved it from the decoration which threatened it. A park of suflluiont size to accomplish Its essential object , wiigh | is to furnish the re lief bf seclusion from city sights and sounds , uud tlio rofrushintmt of tural scenes , must of necessity bo nt suuh distunco from tbo busi ness quarters that a conveyance , cither pri- vnto or pablio , is roiulrad to reach it , and that being the case the difference of a milo or moru is not essential. Only one of the Chicago parks Is less thau six miles from the business portion of the city , nud the only 200-foot boulevards that are nearer , nro these which connect tbo city wit * S > Park , and they begin at a point ' .jf m. * fro 11 thooaurt house. I fluould uay that 50J acrus would be tbo smatloit area that would bo required In ono body to supply the future wants of your city , and If no tnora than that can bo had In ono body , an equal area will In time bo wanted at some other point. If you think mo ex travagant , plrnso recur to the areas which have elsewhere been found necessary ami toll mo why your needs should bo less press ing. Concerning the details of arrangement It is needless at present to s | > onk except upon n slnglo point , the Importance of which I buvo learned by experience , Whcnovor the work of construction Is bcsrun upon parks , n demand is sura to nrlso for the Introduction of artificial decorations , etich ns 'ountnlns , bridges , statues , vases nnd rustic work , nil of which , when really artistic , may. In time , bo appropriately Intro- ditcod In their proper places. But genuine artistic work is very costly , nnd no cheap imitations should nt any time bo admitted ; nnd moreover , In the early stages of con struction where the demands nro Imperative for such actual necessities ns road making , drainage , trco planting , etc. , It is sinply a perversion of the funds to use them for such needless purposes. It will bo time enough for their Introduction , ns well as for the liberal use of floral decora tion , when tlio architectural surroundings of the parks nro of such extent nnd character that no scnso of incongruity will bo oxcitcd by their presence. When that time comes the cost of procuring thorn will bo easily pro vided. I have endeavored to convoy such gonornl Information ns I hoped would bo of vnluo. I shall bo happy to answer , to the best of my ability , any further questions that may occur to you. Very respectfully yours , II. W. S CLEVELAND.

EDWIN FORREST AND THE LION. Interesting K'xnoricnco in the Life of n Lion Tnincr. Edwin Forrest , ono of the most famous actors of the generation now passing away , had the notion that ho could not bo frightened , nnd ono day ho said 0.3 much in the presence of n. lion tumor nnmod Dricsbach. saya the Philadelphia Press. This lion tinner , now dead , was than as famous in his line as Mr. Forrest was in the theat rical Hue. Mr. Driesbach invited Mr. Forrest to moot him , , one ovoning. The latter accepted mtho invitation , nnd at the house , aftor'passlng through a long , dark hallway , ho was asked by Mr. Driosbaoh into a dark room. Mean while ho had not thought his courage , was being put to the tost. Suddenly , however , ho felt something touch his log in the darkness und reaching down his hand touched what ho thought was a cat's back , which ho gently stroked. A rasping growl greeted the motion , and ho saw two fiery eye balls glaring at him. ' 'Are you afraid , Mr. ForrestV" asked the lion trainer , who was invisible in the darkness. Forrest replied : "Not iVbit , " when the lion-tamer said some thing , and the growl deepened and the back began to arch. Mr. Forrest hold out for a few minutes , when ho ex claimed : ' 'Now lot mo out , you scoun drel , or I'll break every bono in your body ! " The "lion king" kept him there , and ho did not dare to move a linger , while the lion kept rubbing against his leg. Mr.'Forrest finally gave in , and prom ised Driosbaeh a complimentary supper if ho would lot him out. Driosbaeh also told of an adventure in Baltimore : "Wo were playing a piece in which one of my tigers was suddenly to leap from above upon mo , as if to kill mo. After if would jump upon mo we would' roll all it round on the floor , to all appearances engaged in mortal combat. The theatre in which wo were playing had a largo pit , and it was filled almost to sulfocation that evening with boys and men. This time the tiger jumped over my head and was flying for the pit , when I caught him by the tail and pulled him back. I needn't toll you that standing-room was made mighty quick in the pit when they saw the animal coming. They rushed out pell-mell , yelling and snroaminir for mo to hold him. " But Driosbaoh held on to the tiger's tail until the theatre was omptv. Advice to Motliors. Mri. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always bo used for children teeth ing.

"It is easy for married couples to quarrel and bring themselves to the point of a divorce , " said a well-known Now Yorker yesterday , savs the Now YorlcSun. "After I had boon married three months I came sadly homo ono night to tell my wife that business would keep mo away from her for tiie next twenty-four hours. She was very girlish , and by way of a reply she gave herself a little hug , withalittlo wriggle of her body thrown in , and expressed her feelings in nn exclamation of un mistakable joy. Deeply pained , I said to lior that I had never supposed she desired my absence enough to gurgle with joy at the moro proposal of it. Many a man would Imvo gene oil angry or darklv suspicious. Instead I ques tioned ho'r. 'Why , you gooso.'sho said , 'when you said you were going away ono thing popped into my head to the ovpulsion of everything else. That was : Now he's going away and I can oat homo raw onions with salt and vinognr. That was all. I have been dying for raw onions over since our wedding.

DEBTS OF LORD BEACONSFIELD How HoVna Aided in Ilia Politico ! AapirntloiiR by Airs. Wyndlinm howls. Lord Deacon sfield was a poor man all his llfo , saya n wrltor in Frank Leslie's Mngtizluo , for the reason that , until shortly before his death , ho had never paid off his early liabilities. The fortune - tune loft him by Mr. Brydgc ? Williams cleared them oil , nnd ho paid every penny he owed. Lady Bcaconsllold'a fortune was hers only for her life , and aho was not able to leave him anything of importance ; but in the early part of his married life she assisted him with his election oxpoiibcs , nnd , except for his marriage , the probability is ho could never have stemmed the title of money dilllcultics which always hamp ered him , . In the first days of their Iriondshlp Lady Beaconsllold must have helped him largely , for a circumstantial story was told by the conservative agent ut Muidstone , for which place Lord Bea- consfleld bat that at his first election , when things looked bad for the conservative vative candidate , and the liberals were spending- their money freely , Mr. Dis raeli came into the garden behind the Star hotel , the conservative hoaQquar.- tors , and throwing himself down on tho' grass , declared that ho should bo beaten , and that if so , his career was over , nnd ho was ruined. Mrs. Wynd- ham Lowig , who was sitting there , at. tempted to chcpr him and raise his hopes ; but finding that course unsuc cessful , she took the conservative ngont aside anil , giving him n largo sum ol money , saiu ; "Spend that , and moro if you want it all that is necessary , but Mr. Disraeli must bo returned. " Mr. Disraeli was returned by a largo major * ity , and , if the truth were known , no doubt Mrs. Wyndam Lewis paid still more highly for the privilege of getting him in.
