DM Moi.vr. . , la. , May in. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Unn.J The Omaha team was
victorious today , n fact which xvas probably
ns much of n surprise to themselves ns to the
spectators and the local club. But anything
xvas likely to happen nnd It xvas anybody's
game all the xvay through. Clarke xvent into
the box for Omaha and gave It out In the
beginning that ho xvas In the game to win ,
and cautioned the rather incompetent umpire
that ho wanted no rank decisions. Billy
Hart twisted for the locals nnd
put up a remarkable game un
til the hist Inning , when four
of the six hits xvcro iniido off his delivery.
Clarke kept the hits xvell scattered except in
the third , xvhen the llrst score xvas made on a
triple by Hart and similes by Pulton and
Flanagan. Omaha scored In the fourth by a
boAc on balls to Kearns , who stole second ,
went to third on a pas-ed ball , and crossed
the platoon a xvlld throxv by Traflley. Des
Molnes got the lead again In the sixth through
a single by Phclan , xvho stole second ,
xvent to third on a passed ball ,
and scored on Clarke's hit. Nothing
moro xvas done until the ninth , xvhen
Omaha won the game by a fortunate streak
of batting. Andrews was llrst to but , but
lloxv out to left. Then Kcaitis got n hit for a
huso , xvent to second on Cleveland's single
nud crosssd the plate on Moran's single.
Cleveland was put out trying to score on
Clarke's short in-llclder , but Mornn had
stolen second and made the winning run on
Urqiiahart's single. The scorn :

The llli.-yclo Uiioc.
The audk'iico' the Coliseum last night
xx-as a bight In Itself , there being a foxv short
uf three thQtisand paid admissions. Without
. ( inc.stloii it xvas nNo the best attendance In
i point of iiuality that ever assembled In the
'building there- being nuiny of the most prom-
i Inout L-ltUens there. The concert selection
by the Second Infantry band was
* truly a grand one , the cornet duet ,
"Vorxvandto Pcelen1 Kllenberg , and
the polkil , ' "Firemen's Novelty , " lUpley ,
eliciting thu most , pronounced applause. The
band Is certainly one of the best trained
musical organisations in the country , mid
i those concerts are a treat all lovers of urtlstlo
music hlunild not miss.
' Them is but Httlo nexv to relate of the
lilcycllstic efforts of Prince and Heading , as
the riders .still continued to carry out the
* programme each laid out. for himself ou the
Inaugural night And that is , Heading sots
the pace , riding ns If his life xvas In Jeopard v ,
und Prince impcrtttrbably dogging Ills trull.
Some think that the Englishman , realiz
ing that he has a hard man
to bout , has resolved to take
no chance that ho xvlll s'.ick close to the sol-
tiler's xvhcel until the last moment , then call
lito | requisition all his reserve forces und
spurt him out of both luurcls nud slmoleons ,
, Others are Inclined , basing their opinions
upon the condition of the two mou nnd the
nature of the .efforts each have called fortu ,
to Iwllovo that Heading Is the superior man ,
both us to speed and endurance , nnd that
Prince- iilivudy d defeated man. On every
purt that has been made thus fur tuo soldier
has had unequivocally the best of It. Prince ,
too , apparently has exerted himself to the
utmost to break even with hln military an
tagonist , but In each instance has been com
pelled to content himself with ar-cond honors.
Whether Prince , who Is known to be ono of
the trickiest nnd foxiest of till professionals ,
i.s really riding for nil ho is worth In these
spurts the spectators must judge for thnni-
selves , but If ho Is riding honestly nnd doing
his best it Is n foregone conclusion that ho
might ns well elevate the aponge , for ho Is no
match for the soldier.
Both contestants received floral tributes
last evening , but oven these tokens of admira
tion failed to ncfcloruto their speed. They
have no time for sxveet violets yet uxvhllo. In
the pools the txvo men nro selling evenly , but
as yet no big side xvagers have been mado.
No ono seems to bo satis tied xvlth the shoxv-
ing so far , nnd they are xvalting for Iho lip
which the flrst vantage gain will surely
supply.
At the flniih last evening the excitement xvas
Intense. Heading never rode belter or with
more velocity In his life , and Prince's efforts
to overhaul "and pass him xvcro unavailing ,
the soldier shooting llko n meteor across the
time fully txvo lengths In the lead.
The nttcndanco this evening xvill undoubt
edly bo verv largo , as the interest in the con
test groxvs xvlth each day. For Saturday night
several of the privnto boxes have already
been sold , nud. It Is no exaggeration to say
that n concourse of eight or ten thousand

The Brooklyn Handicap.
BROOKLYN' , May 15.The Brooklyn Jockey
club today probably had the largest attend
ance seen at its track since the opening day ,
the occasion being the beginning of its spring
meetings. Added to this xvas tlio attraction
of the Brooklyn handicap , one of tlio great
.winter . betting events. There were at least
110,000 people present. The weather
was unpleasant , the rain coming
down in a drizzle during the afternoon. The
track xvas very muddy , though not exactly
"holding. " The cx-cnt of the day , the Brook
lyn handicap , resulted in a somexvhat unpleas
ant surprise for the bulk of the backers , in
asmuch us u horse that had been running
poorl v at the winter track won in a conven
ient kind of a canter. Los An
geles , the invorite , to the surprise
of everybody , wus never in the race and the
only animal that made any pretension to
covering the ground xvas Budge , but It was a
good mce _ under the circumstances , hoxvever ,
and the time made x\-ns surprisingly fast , the
first half being run in 51 .seconds , and the
mile in lii. : :

Tfi.st before the star' event of the day the
betting paddock was a sight to behold.
Men fought llice tigers to reach the book
makers. Old race-goers say they never saxv
such intense excitement around a track. The
scene xvhen the bell rung xvas an animated
one , men run hither and thither to gain
points of vantage. After a short delay
the ling fell to an excellent start. Castaxvay
nt once took took the track and passing th'o
stand bad a lead of fully four lengths xvith
Sir Dixon next lapped by Venpenr , Cynosure
and Eric. They ran iu tills order till around
the first turn , and entering the back stretch ,

AVenltli of the Clim-oh
Creed Revision.
SAUATOOA , N. Y. , May 15. The Presbyte
rian general assembly was 'opened this morn
ing by Hev. Dr. Herrlek Johnson of Chicago
with between ono nud two thousand persona
In attendance.
President Roberts of Lake Forest ( Illinois )
university , the retiring moderator , delivered
an address on "Tho Privileges and the Consequent -
sequent Obligations of the Presbyterian
Church. " Ho reviewed the work of the
church , etc. , at length and dwelt upon the
matter of rex-talon. This was In the enumer
ating of the special privileges , among which
wore , ho said , a "clear cut , strong and
scriptural creed. Notwithstanding the few
objectionable passages the alleged Incorrect
interpretations of the scripture and the ques
tionable philosophy of two or tlireo paragraphs
in our standards they ere u marvel of skill
and dialectic acumen. They have been Justly
classed among the bcit specimens extant of
clear thought and cogent reasoning. They
were prepared in troublous times for pur
poses of uniting in ono church all Christians
of Great Britain and Ireland. Every para
graph was heated in the llrcs of controversy
and forged into bars of gold , not only by the
best theologians of the church , but by the
ablest statesmen also of both houses of parli
ament. The shorter catechism has been pro
nounced by many who'havo had no sympathy
with its doctrines , the best compendium of
scriptural truths this world has ever seen.
The standards nro not only clear cut , but ex
ceedingly strong. They uro based largely on
God's sovereignty. It is no such sovereignty ,
however , us implies arbitrariness or injustice ,
but such us abases the proud and encourages
the lowly.
"Jt Is loudly proclaimed in these days that
the doctrines of our standards are destitute
of the breathings of God's lovo. This is
largely true. The tender phase of the divjno
character is not so clearly set forth us It ought
to bo in this ago , but it must not bo forgotten
that the church has been undergoing a process
of evolution from her infantile days to the
present time. Grace and truth come bv Jesus
Christ , but these lox'oly qualities could have
como only after the way had been prepared
for them by the sterner qualities of the law
which came by Moses. The strong truths of
our Calvanistfo creed are not to bo looked
upon , therefore , as monstrosities , but as the
necessary antecedents to milder and more lov
able doctrines. These doctrines have been
drawn out of God's word In such a way as to
forbid the making of any essential changes
in them without doing violence to that word. "
Among other privileges of the church
enumerated and dilated upon were : A gov
ernment nioro in keeping with scripture than
that of any other branch of the church ; the
championship in the cause of education ;
superior missionary appliances and her con
ceded wealth. On this latter point Dr. Hub
erts said , in part :
"It may seem doubtful at flrst sight
whether riches can bo regarded as ono of the
privileges of the church of Christ. In them
selves considered they caunot bo an indica
tion of moral power or usefulness ; neverthe
less , they do acquire , according to the best
known principles of ethics , morality as well
as strength when viewed as n trust for God's
glory and the good of the world. It is often
alleged that our church owns and controls
more money than any other church in
our land. Ono of the congregations
in New York citv is said to possess more'
than $100,000,000. , The Presbyterians of Chicago
cage have under their control , not in their
possession , ! 00,000,0 < M. This is u fair sample1
of what is to bo found in other communities
east and west. It is certainly a great privi
lege to bo entrusted with so much of our
Lord's monov , if we have the grace to use It
us good and faithful servants. "
Dr. Hoborts added that the obligations
arising from these privileges come under the
text , "Unto whomsoever innch is given , of
him shall much lie required , " and spoke at
great length on the duty of the church. The
following are some of his points :
"There is evident looseness not only in ad
mitting men into the ministry , but also in
giving church sessions unlimited license to
supply their own pulpits. In many congre
gations the ministers are hired by the year ,
like u clerk. The community in which they
live regards them not as permanent factors in
their social or religious life. The value of
the iwrmanent pastorate is beyond all compu
tation. Not a few of our vacant churches are
allowed to bo overrun by professional candi
dates. Our worthy ministers are frequently
set aside by men who are after the loaves anil
llshcs. They have a few llashv discourses
that catch the ears of the people , but when
they are delivered they have nothing left
worth listening to. Under this practice piety
languishes , activity ceases and Christian
benox'olonce is left uncultivated. The
presbyteries must watch with greater
crro the entrance into the ministry. The
number of candidates who reject some of the
fundamental doctrines of the creed is said to
bo on the increase. At the present rate of
increase the doctrinal status of our church
will certainly bo impaired. If the growing
laxity goes on a loud cry will presently be
raised for a creed that will bind no minister
to u specific system of relief.
' The presbyteries should exercise more
vigilance in the direction of preserving the
soundness of faith in our ministers and
elders.
"Tho Presbytcr'an ' church is called upon to
conserve the educational institutions she has
been largely the means of establishing and to
add to their number as circumstances may
demand. The public school system has be
come the buhvark and glory of our nation ,
but of late it has become
tin ) object of assault by
the Homish clergy. High officials
of that political religions system nro bent on
destroying or controlling it. The church wo
represent is in duty bound to moot these ene
mies of our common schools. They should
and probably can lie improved in certain
particulars , but the svstom in its main fe.i-
tines and fundamental principles must bo up
held at the cost , If needs be , of blood and
treasure. The perpetuation of our free insti
tutions demands virtue and homogcnousnoss
in our nation , but this cannot bo realized
without the molding Influence of Christianity.
The Homiinist must be brought to accept our
common schools , the Mormon to practieo
monogamy , the Indian to worship the only
living and true God , the Chinamen to adopt
the principles of the Christian religion and
the anarchist to Iceop the Sabbath and honor
the etcraal principles of God's word.
"Tho alarming condition of portions of our
country calls for still greater vigilance and
nlfort on the part of the church. Even New
England , which in many respects is the most
favored part of our country , is threatened bv
the KonusU church. The middle states are
threatened with a tidal wuvo of Immigrants
from Europe , the majority of whom would
gladly wash away the old land murks of puiU
tanlsin , If not of religion.
"Tho country is today standing aghast before -
fore the rising cloud of ignorance and Immor
ality among the freedmen of the south which
threatens to overspread our political sky with
gloom. The northwest is trembling on the
top of a volcano that may ut any moment
shako into pieces its proudest. . | x > lltlcal and
religious fabrics. The southwest is groaning
under the domination of Home. The
Wnh.sateh mountains are holding'today in
their bosom a fetid pool that threatens to do-
vaitate the contiguous states and tor'ritorius.
Tlio Pacific coast Is threatened with heathen
ism. Infidelity. Intellectual mid practical , is
everywhere striving to overthrow our proles-
taut Christianity. It has the tongue of the
orator and the oar of the populace. Jt Is
becoming every duy inoro ami more resolute ,
formidable and boastful. What , but Christ's
giMpol , the power of God unto salvation , can
moot such threatening evils.
Dr. Hoberts added that notwithstanding
all this hopeful prospect * are not wanting to
encourage the church in homo missionary
work and urged a renewed effort. "Moro
men nro needed , particularly In the west.
The foreign Held U also calling for more men
and means. Another task to which the
church should bend her encrglaa
Is to instruct her members In
the meaning of true stewardship and the use
of money. No department of Christian work
U so poorly developed us that of pecuniary
ofTcrincrs. Tho.ti'hurch must net forth moro

Several conuiuuua reports were accepted
and dates net Mf dubatos thereon. The report -
port of the committee on church stated that
a cordial responsp luul been made to the over
tures of the blstyMTof thot'rotesUint Episcopal

CHICAGO , May 15. The arguments in the
Evangelical church court light \vcro con

the result In a few days unless the factions
carry out the suggestion made by him. This
was that the opposing pastors resign and a
preacher who had not been alllllatcd with
either side could then bo choseu by an elder
from each faction and hold until the meeting
of the general conference in 1801. Otherwise
whatever the court might decide , the contro

THE SCHOOL BOND QUESTION ,
Disposed of at Last Night's Mooting of the
Board of Education ,
WILL HOLD A SPECIAL ELEOTION.
On Hnttmlny , May Jll , the Matter Will
Itu ItofliihmlttL'il to tlio Voter * of
the City Interest Klxctl
at - 11'eiCent. .
A special meeting of the board of education
was held last night to ngaln consider the
question of .submitting a bond proposition tea
a vote of the people.
President Uoodnmii stated the object of the
meeting and the roll call showed nil the mem
bers present.
On motion of Mr. Coburn the report of the
committee of the xvholo , which had been pre
sented at the last meeting , was road.
On motion of Mr. Clarke the board went
into committee of the whole with Mr. Points
in the chair.
Mr. Clarke wanted to have the ruto of in
terest on the bonds ilxed at ! per cent instead
off. .
Mr. McConncll ndvocutcd fixing the rate at
1 3 per cent , us he had looked into the matter
and thought the bonds could bo lloatedto
better ndx-nntago nt 4' ; per cent.
Mr. Clarke was of the opinion that there
xvould bo no difficulty in floating school bonds
at 1 per cent. The credit of the city was of
the best , and ho thought there xvould bo no
delay iu selling the bonds nt n good premium.
The question of ilxing the rate of interest
nt 4 per cent xvas proposed and xvas lost.
Mr. llobinson moved to llx the ruto utyt
per cent. The motion carried.
' Mr. Felton moved that the proposition to
submit bonds bj divided , placing the $7fi,000
proposed to bo appropriated for the high
school addition in a separate proposition nnd
tlio balance of the items In another proposi
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Martin supported the motion nnd ex
plained that if the high school proposition
had merit enough to carry it would go
through as xvell by itself as in the proposition
xvith the other schools , and if it WHS not
strong enough to carry of itself there xvas no
use in having it n dead xveight on the balance
of the proposition.
Mr. Hoblnson made a strong argument
against tbo motion. Ho said the district about
tho.hgh ! school hud cist ; o\-er one-third of the
votes cast in favor of the bonds at the
last election. Ho was strongly opposed
to making u separate proposition of the high
school question unless the proposed appro
priation for each school were rnudo separate
also.
also.Mr.
Mr. Felton said the board had tried snx-eral
times to carry a proposition with the high
school question included , nml had failed
every time , and ho predicted that they would
kcci ) on failing as long as that question xvas
made a part of the whole. fsjg
Mr. Wenrcr surpassed himself nnd made a
strong argument against Jeopardizing the
whole proposition by tacking the high school
clause onto it. Ho said ho would bo in favor
of buying a lot in that vicinity and putting
up a $5ltXX ) ) building , but he wis : opposed to
perilling the whole question by insisting on
loading it doxvn with the high school.
Mr. McConncll opposed making a separate
proposition of the high school. Ho said the
members should not bo governed entirely by
the newspapers. The members were in u
position to learn the general sentiment of the
people as xvcll as the editors of the paper's.
Every man xvas entitled to his own opinion ,
but ho thought the citizens in the vicinity of
the high school should bo alloxx'cd all facili
ties lor educating their children which were
accoi'deu people in other localities. It was
only a question of time , he said , when the
high school xvould have to give way to the
graded schools if provision was not made for
both.
both.Mr.
Mr. Felton attempted to xvitlutraxv his mo
tion , hut his second , Mr. Martin , would not
consent. The latter said tlio question was
purely one of policy. A great many people
wanted the txvo questions separated , and ho
thought it was policy to do us public senti
ment dictated.
Mr. Wehror arose to the occasion again
nnd xvanted to know why tlio people in the
Fourth ward xx'anted everything in the centre
of the city. Ho said the people in the out
skirts xvanted their children gix'cn as good an
education as "thoso of the high nebs , " and
couldn't ' afford to soud their children live or
six miles to school.
The motion to mnko separate questions of
the proposition xvas put to x'oto and lost.
Mr. Felton then moved to add a clause ap
propriating J25.000 for the erection of an
eight-room building on the Saratoga site , and
supported it by saying this vicinity xvas badly
in need of a school.
After considerable debate the motion was
lost.
lost.Mr.
Mr. Wchrcr moved to insert 50,000 for the
purchase of additional ground at the Dupont
school and the erection of u $25,000 , building
thereon. Lost.
Mr. Goodman moved to strike out the
&ri4,000 for n building on the Hartman site. A
long debate ensued , at the conclusion of
which the motion carried.
RMr. Popplcton then i-cnexved his motion ,
made at a former meeting , to strike out tlio
$ i'JOO , ( for the Paul site building , on the
ground that it would kill the whole proposi
tion. The motion carried , eight memocrs
voting In the affirmative.
Tlio committee then arose and reported to
the board.
Mr.Vohrer mox'cd to insert the Hartman
building at $51,000 , but the motion xvus lost.
Mr. Clarke mox'ed again to make the rate
of interest on the bonds 4 percent , and quoted
a number of statistics in support of his mo
tion , which motion prox-uilod.
Mr. Uecso moved to increase the amount
for the Center school to Sir , riOO , as there
would bo considerable grading to do. The
motion carried.
Mr. Points moved to amend by adding
fatHX ( ) for the erection of a building1 on the
Saratoga silo.
Mr. Kees objected to Inserting this clause ,
as ho was opposed to going bo fora the people
with a proposition xvlilch would put most of
the building in the north end of town , The
motion xvas lost.
Dr. Spuldlng moved to add $20,000 for ad
ditional room at the Paul silo. Thu motion
carried xvith eight votes ,
a Mr. Wehrer moved to add $ .10,000 for the
Hartman building. Lost , only live voting in
favor of it.

The ' 'original packages" are quart bottles of
beer. They are wrapped in blue paper nnd
they cost the purchasers Just ' . . ' 0 cents. As
soon ixs the people became nxvnro of
what had happened they commenced to
flock toxvnrd the depot. John Michael , the
package vender , expected a rush , but ho xvas
hardly prepared for the thirsty horde that
swooped doxvn on him. Some of thu most
enthusiastic imbibers tucked bottles under
their arms and danced doxvn thcavenuc.shout-
Ing , "Hurrah tor the original package. " A

LONDON , May 15. In the commons tonight
the debate xvas resumed on the liceiiso bill.
Sir James Larkln , Mr. Gladstone , Sir
William Harcourt , Secretary Matthoxvs and
Mr. Smith spoko.
Gladstone said the means proposed were
utterly futile and extremely dangerous. Tin ,
tide of public opinion against the liquortrufUo
was fast ri-lng. Allusion had been made to
remarks ot his ten years ago in fnvor of com
pensation. Since then the law wus settled in n
manner unfavorable to the doctrine ofestcil
interests. Ho certainly nex'cr contemplated
approving such a bill as this , ixhlch proposed
the purchase ot n number of nubile houses on
any terms the proprietors xvlll accept. The
bill might better bo described , "A bill for the
cndoxx'incnt of public houses. " The bill was
bad in principle and utterly unsupported bj
precedent.
Caino's motion to reject the bill xx'as de
feated , and the bill then passed the second
reading. After division Henley moved that
the speaker Icax'e the 'chair that tlio house
might go into committee of the whole on the

this was done and the llrs > t cluuso of the by

WASHINGTON , May 15. The secretary ol

ardent spirits or wines in canteens is
htrictly prohibited , but the commanding
officer is authorized to permit light beer to bo
sold therein by the drink on week days , and
in u room used for no nthcr purpose , and
when practicable in a building apart from
that in xvliich the canteen is located , when
ever ho is satisfied that giving to the men tlio
opportunity of obtaining such beverages
within the post limits has the effect of pre
venting them from resorting for strong in
toxicants to places without such limits and
tends to promote temperance and discipline
among them. The practice of what Is knoxx'n
