THE OMAHA DAILM/iBEE / : MONDAY , JULY 8 , 1889. OMAIL\ \ SEVEN RUNS AHEAD , The Result of Yoatordny's Qamo With St. Joo. < . IT WAS A VERY LIVELY BATTLE , And Wns Only Interrupted I JOUR Enough for llic 1'rcnoutntlou or a Gold Wntoh to Joe Wnlsli. O in nil n 15 , St. Joseph H. Despite the excessive torrldlty of the wcnthor , thcro were several thousand people at the ball park yesterday afternoon , nnd yet some people Buy that bnso ball Is on the wane. Again the attraction was the Omahas nnd the St. Josephs , nnd the game they put off was of thnt lively.- hustling , calibrating kind thnt nil ardent admirers of the great sport love to behold. For two hours and moro flcklo fortune toyed with the crowd. Now she raised their hopes , now she lowered them , then up they'd go ngnln , only to full u moment later , but finally they were hoisted to stay , ami the Bwclllnc orowd shouted forth tholr feohnps in wild acclaim. Butrrnlly It was n lively battle , onu of the best nnd most thrilling.thnt has been played upon the grounds In n month. How did It-hnppcni Just wait und I'll tell you. Tno Whlto Sox were Hrst nt the bat. Scrappy Jack thought ho saw ono that .suited him. Ho was mistaken. It Rot no further than the llttlo bird who plays short for the Grays , nnd ho slammed Jack out at first. Cleveland , too , is summarily disposed of , but Jnkoy Strauss had bis "pood cjo" open nud nmblcd to first on four wide ones. A passed ball let him to third. Willis was.then given n life on McQarr's bud fumble , which made Chlppoy so rod headed that ho allowed AIos- sitt to score before ho could recover blmsolf. Then ho was hot , und the bleachers guyed him unmercifully. Walsh now stODpcd to the pinto , but before ho could throw his Cycloplau form Into h smashing posture , Uulpiro Briody called timo. Everybody wondered what was up , except a few who wondered what was down. The denouement was iiulckly forthcoming however , for Briody drew from the folds of his polonalso n plush case , in which nestled n handsome cold watch nnd chain. It was from Joo's many warm friends , n little token of their npnicciatlou of thu brill iant ball ho is playing. Happy youth I Ho doffed his hat nirnln nud cgaln to the npplaudlng crowd , and then the Ranio was ro- Burned , Joe smashed out n whizzinK Hner to center nnd somebody la tbo st.indyoilcd , "Olvo.hlm another watch I" Of course this made the crowd laugh. But no more runs got in , Andrews' out retiring the aide. St. Joe then came in for her whack at tbo ball. ball.CnrtxvrlKht made n. hit ; Curtis iot to first ou n dtezy jaiiff ov Canavan , and Ardner fol lowing with n safe ono , big Cnrtlcft came toddling homo. MuCarr went out , but King nnd'Petlo HotalliiB followed with singles , 'nnd both Curtis and Ardner crossed tha rubber , The nest two men struck out , but three runs hud como in and everybody said that wo were doomed to got. it in the ncclt again. But everybody was mistaken. In the third , on Walsh's dandy three- snckor , Naglo's base ou balls and Canavan's long drive for four pillows , the Whlto Sox tallied , thrice , and were ono ahead. Then ranybe the crowd didn't ' shout. In their half the St. Joo's tied the scoro. ICingmudo a dingle , reached second ou the return of the ball , and homo on Hotullng's ' drive. In the fifth tbo White Sox again electrified tholr friends by pounding out throe more r.uns , nnd In the 's xth tlioy scotcd still another. This gave them a lead of four runs , nnd victory seemed n certainty. 'But again In the seventh did the sturdy , slugging St. Joes tin the name , for on ajuglcs by Klopf , Curt- ripht , Curtis und McGarr and a three-sack drive by Kriog , they plied up four'rnns. It made the people sick two defeats at the bauds of the Pukes in ssuccesslon was moro than thoy'could endure. But they dldnt have to. In the eighth the Omahas made up their minds tp couso monkeying and show their frlonds 'what n llttlo real , genuine batting 'was. 'was.Nichols began by striking out , but Mossltt got his base on an error by Ardner. Then Cleveland thought ho saw oue that ho liked , nnd ho' hit a smash that sent Messill across the plate and landed him ou second. Strauss' followed with n turec-baggor , and this , - together gether with singles by Walsh , Cannvan nud Adrows , and u thrce-sacker by Naglo , netted elx runs and won the game beyond all dispute or word.

' Dr. LninnV'd'ollvercd n sermon nt the First Dnptlst churph f this city on "Religion In the Home.1 , JJ&ow } will bo found n syn opsis : t TO' Text , First Itlmothy , v. 4 : "Lot thotn learn first to show pluty'at homo. " i3ccchor says : "God has represented us chiefly In thoiblblo , not by nature , not by civil government , but by the relations of man m the family. " And Tnlmago says : "A church within n church , n ropubllo within u republic , n world within n world is spelled with four loiters : h-o-ui-o. " The family Is the heart of the state , the corner-stono of society , the foundation of the nation , the true church , nnd the best expounder - pounder of Christianity. The church is the family , with ono Father , nnd ono Elder brother. As wo stand In front of the whlto house , und look upon that homelike mansion , wo nro Impressed with the sacred reverence our foro'futhers had for the family. God's idea of the family had deep root In the hearts of those old time people. The thought did not seem to occur to them that wo should over have a president who had not Hrst been inaugurated as tho'head of n family Person-ally 1 would prefer that a mother should bo president , rather than a bachelor. Whoever presides over this nation should know nil the needs nnd wants of the family rclutlon , and wo c.tn not do too much to exult the Idea of the family. The nation owes moro to It than to any other Institution , and derives more public good from It. The fam ily ivlation fosters patriotism , virtue , educa tion and all that helps to make n nation great in peace nud .in war. The family is tlio strongest defense and shield against the wasting evils that tend to destroy national 11 fo. Thy Influence of homo bcRins with our birth , and wo never outgrow It. It exor cises a power over us greater than any other power on earth. If asked what throne ox crts the greatest power over the people of the earth to-day , I should- nay the mother's ' rocking chair , and the teachings of the nursery. Tlio memories of homo nnd the love of homo nro associated with all that is best nud most substantial and endur ing In bur Christian civilization. If the homo is right all the In- llucnccs radiating from that home are n pub lic ns well nsn private benefaction. But if the home Hfo of the people Is wrong it drives our citizens to wretchedness , despair nnd crime. Men are driven to saloons , pllcrlm- nires , vice and death , by the unlmppincss of homo life. From unhappy homes the in mates uro driven to bad associations , and the inmates of such u homo generally go to per dition. If you would have happy homes , I counsel you llrjt of nil to Invite the Lord Jesus to come tin J dwell in'jyour home. If it is a homo Just set * up let him bu the Hrst guest you invite to it. Whoever ol o may como nnd go IcUh'itn know that ho is ever welcome. That homo in the hills of Bethany was wonderfullV Messed by his frequent vis its there , nnd it nclped them to know thut he might como'ht ' nhy hour. A trout many young couple have been married within the past few months per haps some of tltem may hear or read these words let m urga them even though only ono bo a Christian , let that onn read the bible to the other. , nid ask the blessing of God upon both. D ? not wait to get to house keeping ; but if you have only ono or two rooms road yourbiblo und seeit the direction and blessliiKOf God. In ninety-nino cases out of a . hundred , husbands or wives will'rosuact } , each other reUnions - Unions feelings Sf- there is evidence of sincerlty. fipnul of you may have been yoked tocetiibe'ib&Vears,4 and never yet in vited the L'orJfjh ( ; omo1nto your homo. I do not Wondar thut'you got on so poorlv. Those who never invite Christ to the homo are very liable to have domestic estrangements and difficulties that frequently end in divorce , ft can be safely said that in nine cases out of ten where divorces have been granted within n year that they would not Imvo taken pluca If the couple had started right , had started with Christ in thuir homes. There Is nothing like Christianity for teaching the relationa and duties that wives and husbands owe to each other and to tha children , nnd that the children owe to tholr parents. It the children are influenced by re ligion they will bo kind , obedient and duti ful , not only while they remain In the homo , but in after years. There is no piety in tlio heart of a son or daughter who cun but will not provide for n widowed mother or n de pendent father. Even-among heathens it is regarded as n mo.muess to forsake a parent and leave them for others to support. It Is only u Godless son or daughter who will let a parent go to the poorhousa ns long us they have hands to work and shelter to invite thorn to. "Over the Hills to the Poorhouse , " Is the tltlo of a ballad by Will Cnrleton. Ho had found an old woman who hud been turned off by her prosperous sons. There is scarcely a community in which there can not bo found instances of a lack of fllllal lovo. It seeing ns If the bible , too , gives us u disgust with unfllllal conduct , presents the story of Mlchah , who stole eleven thousand shekels of silver from his mother , airJ the case , of Absolom , who re belled against his' father , and the wicked zons of Ell who dcsuisod his counsel. Wo know with what Judgments God overtook all of them. By contrast with these how like diadems in golden settings is the greaf. love und grand con duct of Joseph in his treatment of his father ; and tha conduct of Jesus , who , in his dying hour , provided for his widowed mother. Again : Koligum in the homo will soften its trials and sustain us under them. No homo can always have sunshine and prosperity. The storm , or blighting wind , is traveling nrpund the world towards every home , and some time It will arrive thoro. There wilt bo troubles of a domestic kind. There will bo trouble with the * servants nnd thu children. Tlieru will bo sickness and ttm trials of poverty , and your brow will often foal the need of thu calming , cooling touch of divine couip.isilnn. There will bo tlmos when the huslund will ncodull the calmness , und love , und solace uf a loving wife to hold him up and kueo him from despairing. What is homo In such trials without the religion of Jesus ) But if Ho bo there. Ho will comfort you in all tho'rolatlons of life. In communi ties out ou the prairie , close by many homes , thev have what is called a "storm pit , " into which the family why lleo when they sea a storm coming , so u taba safa Iffithu homo is blown away.

WASHINGTON AND THE FAIR , A Lively Contest Per the Great Ex position. A STOREHOUSE OF OBITUARIES. How Sketches ol' 1'romlncnt Men Are 1'roilucpil on Hliort Notice Curtis nnd Hie Encyolopcillnt Called Them "Pnnts. " The Three AiiiRrlcnn' Exposition. WAMIINOTOX , July 7. ( Special to Tun BBU. | Just now the board of promotion of the world's fair are very actively on gaged in working up sentiment m behalf of the expo sition which it Is proposed to hold In Wash ington In 1S1IJ. Washington real citato own * CM nnd business men nouer.illy expect grc.it returns from thin exposition , and they nro using nil sorts of arguments to show xvhy Washington Is n very much bettor placa than Now York for holding such an exposition. Unfortunately , however , Washington lacks men who nro willing to put up ttiolr money to ndvuneo a project which Is something moro than loc.il in Its design. Washington people scnin to have grown to the Uo : > that nothing can bo dona bora without congres sional aid , and while they spent some money nud a great deal of valuable time H trying to Induce congicss to npproprlnto money for this proposed exposition during the past two years , they fall to como to time with the necessary funds themselves. Now York city , on the other hand , has lots of business men who are ready to como down handsomely with the cash In advance , and it Is said for the metropolis that It xvill not ask aid from congress to the extent of ono dollar If It can get the government to sanction the project for un exhibition there. It would bo a great bcnollt to Washington people , as well as Washington institutions , if the proposed three America's expositions could bo hold in this city , but in splto of the encouraging resolutions which have bean passed by boards of trade nil over the country from time to time , there is no present reason to bollovo that the scheme \vill provo successful. Mr. Joseph Howard , Jr. , In ono of his recent letters , tells the general public how it happens that the nouspapars of the country are able to present obituary sketches of prominent people in the Issue following the death of these prominent people. Mr. How ard s.ys thut every well regulated newspaper - per oflleo has a series of pigeon holes in which obituary sketches uro stored away , nnd ho i-itoi the fact that the Now York Horuld has constantly on hand about seven thousand of these sketches. The Now York Herald's sketches will not begin to compare in num- Der with those on fllo in the obituary room of the Boston Journal. This is ono of the most unlquo features of Now England journalism. For years nnd years , in fact almost over since the Journal was established , the pro prietor nnd editors have been constantly saving up sketches of prominent men. Ono largo room is devoted entirely to the storage of those sketches. They embrace brief biographies of every man prominent In Now England , oven down to the minor town 1 officials , nnd n treed story Is told m this con- j nectlon , showimr how widespread is the Bos ton Journal's work. On ono occasion the Journ il came out { with a very nice llttlo sketch of a man who had died down on the capo the day beforo. j Three or four days after the fiir.crul the son of the deceased entered the olllco of the Boston Journal , and seeking out the editor asked as a special favor to bo informed where the facts contained in the sketch had been secured , and whether the editor was absolutely certain as to the dates cited. Ho said that the family of the deceased had not known exactly the day of his birth , and that they hud left the date blank on the coflln plate until the Journal sketch advised them , llo was shown a brief biography in in thohund-wrlting of his father , with.tho old gentlemiin'islgnaturo nt the bottom. It had econ written years before , while vuo writer was n member of the legislature , or some local board of commissioners , or some thing of that sort , und the editor of the Jour nal explained that its reporters and corre spondents all over Now England were con stantly engaged in gathering Just such ma terial with a view to its use in the future. But although the Boston Journal's homo office is well supplied with obituary mater ial , it Is doubtful if there is a place lu the country which is so rich in mutter of this kind ns the oflieo of the Boston Journal's ' Washington correspondent. Mr. E. B. Wight. The gentleman raferred to , has had a fad for years. This fad U the collection ot scraps , nnd no deep eontqdL has this fad become In him Hint U Is Almost n mania to-day. Mr. Wight receives do yIn his oplca forty or fifty nowspapOM , nnd not ono over goes out before the scissors Imvo clipped out Its boat features. Mr. Wluht's scraps nro systemati cally arranged into chapters ntul sub jects , nnd although ho must unva nt n low estimate two or three million stored away In his house , ho van got any ono when needed and nt n moment's notice , and can toll nt n glfttico whothcr or not ho has n ulocrnphlcal sketch of any man about whom It mny bo ncrcssnry to writo. .Mr. Wight Is n quiet , unobtrusive man , but ho ins n library of Information under his roof which Is perhaps unequalled in its jcopo by any similar collection in the world. Ho first commenced whllo practicing law In Chicago before the Uro In 1S71. At that time his Bcrnp library was entirely destroyed , but when ho came to Washington ho started over again , nnd for nearly twenty years has boon adding dally to the vast horde which Is almost Invaluable to him nt this timo. Recently Mr. William E. Curtis , the well known author nnd correspondent of the Chicago Dally News , returned from n trip to Yonozucla , whuro ho had boon the guest ot the president of that republic. Upon his re turn from that ropubllo Curtis found n note awaiting him from Gcnorul A. W. Grcoly , In which the general apologized for not huvlng acknowledged the receipt of certain books nine years ago. General Urcoly Maid In his letter that uo books referred to , which were a sot of Appleton's cm-yclopodlas. had afforded the men of Point Barrow expedition n grc.xt deal of timusoment as well ns In structlou. Ho know , ho went on , that they omht ; to have roturnoil the boons , but un fortunately , owing to the manner In which the party came back , It was found nbaolutoly necessary to abandon everything- this kind , and whllo the volumes ware uaahterca Bomowheru in the vicinity of the North Polo if they are over secured the general pcom- Isos that they shall bo returned to Mr , Cur tis. tis.Mr. Mr. Curtis replied to this in n latter which Is qutto Interesting. Ho said that the books hud been loaned , ho knew , but ho had only stipulated that they should bo given bnoU to him because ho should like to have thorn ns mementoes of that trip If they should over come back to this country. Then ho told the generlil how ho cnmo In possession of n du- pllcoto set of oncyclopcdias. Ho said Rome ycnrs ngo Frank Burr , n newspaper man who mudo an unenviable reputation by writing bogus memoirs of Generals Grant and Shertduu , and palming them oil on the general publloaa the genuine articles , had borrowed Dome money from him , and when ho. found that ho could bor row no more , hud uut up a very handsomely bound sot of Apploton's encyclopedias ns collateral , promising to redeem them within a year. Mr. Curtis had waited n year , and then had taken them to his house and brought down an old sot to the of lleo. Whou Captain Howgato asked for books ho sent off the old sot with the stipu lation nbovo mentioned. Subsequently , do- Blrlng to have BOKO volumes of the annual encyclopedia bound In the same stylu us the Burr set , ho had bccu Informed by the agent that the company had been looking for that set for some time ; that it had been especial ly prepared and bound for Mr. Burr at great expense , nnd hud never been paid for. * * * An ox-cadot at Annapolis tolls a very in teresting story of that admirable foundry , which Is of interest at the present time be cause it shows how the present naval attache of the United States in London was taken down n peg. This nttacho is Commander McCalla , who has n gallant record as an olllcor of the marina corps. Along about 1874 or 1875 , somewhere in that neighborhood , ho was the acting commandant of the academy at Annapolis , mnj ho was very strict , not only in his discipline but in his demands upon the young man in his care in the matter of the use ot language. He utterly tabooed the word "pants , " and whenever - over u young middy made out a requisition for u pair of trousers and called thorn pants his requisition was sure to bo refused. On ono Sunday morning during inspection , Cadet Slidell ftocors was singled out by th o acting commandant because of the dclapida- lion which was apparent in his nether gar ments. Ho explained that ho had n very slim amount due him , and that requisition day would not como around again for several weeks. Ho was ordered to secure a pair of trousers , and do it ut once. Under the rules he had two weeks in which to comply with this demand. The next day he made out u spe cial requisition for "ono pair of pants.1 Twonty-fotii hours later the requisition was returned to him marked "refusnd. " Ho know well the reason , but didn't propose to admit that trousers were not pants. Ho made another requisition the following day , and again it was returned marked "refused. " Without saying n word the cadet put the papers away in his packet , and on the next inspection day was severely rep rimanded for failing to obey Instructions nbout securing how RarmcnU- The Indignant oommaudant uinrlcd $ ton do' merits against the young tnaa for ftrdss violation lation ot orders. From thcso demerits young Kottors took an npponl to llio nil ml ml. The admiral i\t the time hnnpsnod to bo Ills father. Ho wrolo out n full statement of the case ami ntUphca M exhibits A and U the two requisitions with the word refused marked on the back of them. Admiral Rogers , In un elaborate opinion , remitted the demerits , nnd hold that there was nothing In the regulations to compel the young man to glvo these very essential garments any particular immo , nnd as they were generally known to the world , at least on this sldo of the Atlantic , ns pants , pants would servo to dollnn them , From that time on McCalla was disgusted , but ho was always compelled In the future to honor a requisition for "ft pair of pants , " provided the mlildy had money enough to his credit to pay for them.
