to TIIK IJr.B.j There was no llstlossness In
the Sloux-Clty-Omahn game today , ns there
vim yesterday. Both teams were full of
ginger nnd played with nn energy that would
have made n highly exciting game but for
DadClarke's weakness in thu box. The
champidns experienced embarrassment In
front of Burdlck , who pitched nn elfectlvo
game until the eighth Inning , when ho cased
up. Hut the Corn Huskers pounded Pad
Clarke almost from the start , nnd liut for the
unusual cniciency of the outlleld the score
would have been much moro dis
astrous to the visitors. In the sixth
Inning the veteran was knocked
out of the box" . Willis took his place and
thereafter the Com Hunkers achieved only
ono base hit. IJut their lead was too great to
bo overcome , especially as the champions
were fulling to hit the ball nt critical mo-
inratfl. In the sixth inning Cannvnn led oft
with a base hit. Walsh followed with nn-
other b.iso hit , advancing Catmvnn to third ,
and he scored on ICoarns' sacrifice. In the
eight Inning Walsh hit for a base , and
Kunnis advanced him to third by
n clean hit. WuLsh scored on Hluc-s'
bit , nnd Kcarns got to third.
After Collins-flow out Keirna Beorcd on n
passed bail , am ) Hincs advanced to third.
Urquhart lined out a base hit , scoring Hlucs ,
but Cleveland's out radrd the inning.

g of tlio Slvtli International
Convention at PlttHbnrg.
PiTTsnujto , Pa. , Juno 34. The sixth inter
national Sunday school convention was called
to order this morning by William Reynolds
of Pcoria , 111. The session opened with de
votional exercises and was followed by rou
tine business. There are l TOO delegates pres
ent from all parts of North America , repre
senting llii.SOT Sunday .schools , with 1,17S)01 : )
tcachei 9 and ! ) ,14,1K7 ! ) ! scholars. Every evan
gelical protestant denomination in North
America is represented. The objects of the
convention are the promotion and increase of
Sunday .school work , the devising of now and
better methods of teaching children and uni
formity of lessons.
At the afternoon session President Rey
nolds spoke at length of the work In the Held
nnd New England , Instead of being the
Hold from which the great West draws Its
missionary supplies , is now a missionary Held
itself. The vast numberof foreigners coming
in has created a demand that never existed
before for missionaries right in the heart of
New England. In the t-outh both the white
and colored people are Interested and n grc.it
woik is being done. Mr. Reynolds
has just returned from a four
months' tour over the west and
nor.hwo.st , and said that so far us Sunday
schools uio concerned , no states in the union
aio better supplied than the far western
states. Although the organizations nro
weak , thny are improving anil tlio outlook in
the west is glorious. Summing up ho said :
'And all over this great country Sunday-
school work is in a moro prosperous condi
tion than ever. The people nro dropping
denominational prejudices and realizing
more niut moro that if this country is
ever to bo saved the Sunday School
must bo the moans. And not only Christians
but thinking men of all classes are looking to
this inscltution as the mainstay of our nation.
Reports by htntos were then taken up.
They uniformly showed iu nil parts of tno
country nnd Canada increased interest In
Sunday school affairs aud largo additions to
the membership.
Major Jarris of Alabama was then elected
president aud other officer. * chosen. Ad

WHV SO3II3 BOOKS FAIIj.
Chiefly IJounusc They Contain Noth
ing Worth Ilcmliii .
The reason why f-o many books full is
bocauio the poopio who wrote thorn have
nothing original to say , or what tlioy
any It. s'lid badly , buys a writer in Mur
ray's Magazine. Another reason is tluit
few of those who can write know any
thing1. They have no invention. They
do not see with their own eyes , but with
other people's oyos. They write books
about other people's books and have
little of their own to toll us. Clmmfort
gives another idea of authorship :
"What makes the success of numerous
works,1' ho says , "is the alllnity between
the mediocrity of the ideas of the author
and the mediocrity of the ideas of the
public. "
When an author has composed a work
ho ncccsbtxrily takes an interest in it.
Every writer of books , says Shelley ,
likes to breech his bantlings. Ho may
have spent many years upon it nnd prob
ably forms an excessive estimate of its
value. Ho is under the impression that
most readers of books will desire to pos
sess it. Lackington , the bookseller , tells
the story of a gentleman who , not being
able to llnd a , purehi'&or for his manu
script , resolved to publish it at his
own expense. The publisher desired
to know how many copies should b
printed. The gentleman began to
compute how many families there
were in Great Britain , and assured the
publisher that every family would at
least purchase ono copy. IIo was of his
opinion that at the lo'west ( iO.OOO copies
only might bo printed of the llrst edi
tion. The publisher prevailed upon him ,
much to his disgust , to print 1,250 in
stead of (50,000 , The result was that only
100 copies wore sold , not oven enough to
pay for the ndvortihomonts , and the
author departed railing at the stupidity
of publisher , bookseller and public.
Bookwrlting is quite as much a specu
lation on the one hand as bookselling is
on the other. Only a small number of
the books published pay their expenses ,
and very Jew of them reach a second edi
tion. "Every year , " says Do Quincy ,
'buries its own literature. " When an
author writes for money , ho goes to the
publisher and endeavors to sell him tlio
mnuuBcrlpt for as much as ho can get.
IIo may gQt too little , or ho
may got too much. The pub
lisher takes the risk , nnd incurs
the expense of printing , binding and ad
vertising. If the book hells and thu
author thtnkd ho has got too little , ho
proclaims that ho has boon outwitted
and defrauded. But if the book does
not sell , it never enters the author's
head to refund the copy money or re
turn the amount of loa to the pub
lisher. Both have run the risks of the
speculation , and both mllat bo content to
abide the Issue.
' The ilrltlsli Census.
The British Census will bo taken In
1801. The cost of the census of Great
Britain in 18S1 was 172,000 for a popu
lation of 20,000,000. For England and
Wales the cost jier 1,000 of the popula
tion was 4 15s Od In 1801 , rising to 5
5s 7d In 1871 | and 0 12s Od in 1881. The
number of enumerators was nearly U5- ,
000 , and in 1801 the number will not bo
far short of 40,000. ,

Cuna for the purpose of submitting some
remarks.
The confcrcnco report on the nnvnl nppro-
priation bill was progcnted and ngrcod to.
The senate. then preceded to the consldora-
lion of the poatofllco iipproprlation bill. In
relation to the first nmondjnant of , the com-
nilttoc , increasing the item for mall dqpredn-
tions , postofllco directors' fee * nnd expanses

of the postmaster goncr.il's plan for having
additional detectives to inquire into such

postofllco are satisfied that the business of
the olllco is well performed , whether the post
master employs members of his own family ,
whether intoxicating liquors are sold In the
postolllco building nnd other matter. Ho
objected to the proposition of the postmaster
general to enter upon n system such as ho
suggested In his statement bcforo the house

six districts with a chief dqtectivo for each

used for visiting localities mid gutting "in

not want any postmaster general to Jinvo a

bo to go around among the people and get "in
touch" with them.
Mr. Plumb also spoke against the amend

The senate proceeded to consideration of

poiutmciit of two additional pension ugonts

The senate then adjourned.
WASHINGTON , Juno 24. In the house today ,
after the journal had been read , Mr. Springer
of Illinois called attention to the fact that the
legislative appropriation bills , as amended by
the senate , had been referred to the appro
priations committee without i-efereuco to tlio
house.
TUo speaker said the usual custom had been
followed , that the Record had duly informed
the house of the reference and therefore ho
declared the journal approved.
Mr. Buttcrworth presented the report of
the appropriations committed upon the senate
amendment to the legislative bill.
The ronort of the committee was agreed to
and n conference ordered.
, A conference was ordered on the bill to in-
creoso the numberof managers of the national
homo for volunteer soldiers.
The senate amendment to the house bill to
extend the time for the payment of the pur
chase money for lands of the Omaha Indians
in Nebraska was agreed to.
Mr. McKinley , from the committee on rules ,
reported the following :
Kosolved , That Immediately after the pas
sage of this icsolutlnu the house proceed to
consider house bill 5 , : 1 ( sllvor 1)1111 wltb tlio
s emit n amundmunts and at L' o'clock Woilnes-
dny , JuiiuSA , tlio. previous question bliall bo
conslduiud as onlnrml.
IIo demanded the previous question on the
adoption of the resolution , which was ordered ,
and twenty minutes' debate was allowed on
either side. There was considerable opposi
tion shown by the democrats.
Mr. McKinley sniu the purpose of the reso
lution was to secure , definite and speedy ac
tion upon the subject of silver. It was results
the republican side was after , said Mr. Me-
Kinloy , and politics the democratic side was
after. The house had passed the period of
silver manipulation. It was face to face with
n practical question whether wo wore to
have free nnd unlimited coinage of the world's
silver product , or whether wo would legislate
to aljsoib every ounce of silver produced In
the United States and nmko it part of our
monetary system. On motion of Mr.McKin-
loy the bpccinl rate was adopted without divi
sion.
sion.Mr.
Mr. Conger , chairman of the coinage com
mittee , presented the ronort of the commit
tee. It simply recommended that the house
lion-concur in each and all of the senate
amendments to the silver bill and request a
conference.
Mr. Hlandof Missouri moved that the house
concur in the senate amendments.
With those motions pending the debate
began.
Mr. Conger defended the action of his com
mittee. saying It had reported n wise and con
servative , measure. If the bullion redemp
tion feature was stricken out then the gov
ernment was placed in the position of buying
gold nnd silver bullion and paying for It in
silver coin , for that was the only money pro
vided for the purpose now. Free coinage
meant a profit of $1:1,000,000 : a year to the
bullion owners of this country. It meant
that wo should say to the world ! "Bring us
your silver and wo will give you ! ! 0 per rent
more for It than you can got nnywhuro clso. "
Mr. Conger held that under the terms of the
house bill silver and gold would bo equally
Within the reach of nil , whilo.if the senate
bill was passed the country would bo driven
to a silver basis. IIo held that under the
terms of the house bill sllvor wonld appre
ciate ; under tlio terms of the sonata bill , ho
believed , it would not. Ho wished his col
leagues could understand the pressure that
had been brought to boar by men interested
In silver speculation to secure silver legisla
tion. Not only have paid lobbyists bcou plyIng -
Ing their vocation here , but various other
means have been rosorUsd to by silver specu
lators to procure legislation , Pool after pool
had been organised in this city to speculate
iu silver. Money bad been deposited in banks
In this country by hundreds and Hundreds of
thousands ready to purchase bullion as soon
as this legislation should pass. Those people
were opposed to the house bill.Vhyl Simply
because If that bill passed they would buvn to
trust to tlio market value of their product.
If the free coinage bill pusscd the
congress of the United States it would
11 x the value of It CO . per emit
above what silver was worth. IIo had been
Invited time nnd again to join silver pools ,
but as long as he had a spat hero UIs voice
should bo raised In behalf of the people of
this country , for the laboring man , for the
savings bank depositor , for the crippled and
starved soldiers of the country , In conclu
sion , Mr. Conger said that if there was no sil
ver legislation the responsibility would rest
upon the advocates of free coinage because
the delay 1111 to this time rested largely upon
their shoulders.
Mr. Bland knew n * thuifr about any lobby.
IIu hud not seen it and had never heard of it.
If speculative pools had been organized tlioy
might have bcou founded upon a belief In
the passage of the house bill , because It

Mr. Uownsjjiyj Of Colorado said free coinage
was the only . .way to secure a stable financial
system , but If/ho could not got free coinage
ho would volojfor tills * lr > 00,000 bill as offerIng -

The quos'tMt was further debated by
Messrs. KorA d > est , Hill , Kelly , Strublo ,

ho felt it his duty to vote for any measure
that pointed iu the direction of free silver.

" \VissinaiiiiGivpii n. fjnurol Wreath.
BEW.I.V , Juno 24. [ Special Cablegram to
TIIR Bci ! . ] Major Wlssmann was presented
with a laurel wreath yesterday. He declined
to express nn opinion on the Anglo-German
agreement , saying that the fact of his holdIng -
Ing nn onico under the state forbade his criti
cising the government. From this It Is
Infcricd that ho greatly disapproves of the
agi cement.
In colonial circles the indignation over the
agreement is Increasing. The opinion is
freely expressed that more money should bo
invobted in East Africa and that it would bo
hotter to sell the company's property to
England for n fair s > um , notwithstanding this
opposition to the settlement. The company
will issue tomorrow n prospectus inviting
subscriptions fdr shares of 1,000 marks each
to the amount of , ,9,000.000 marks.

CHICAGO , Juno 21. [ Special Telegram to
Tim UKK.I The first legal contest to any
proposed action of the interstate commerce
commission took definite shape this nfteriioou
in Chicago. This result wivs obtained at a
well attended meeting of western lines , each
being represented both by high ofUclals and
their best attorneys.
The quaslio'n'under consideration was the
proposerf'reductlqns by the Interstate com-
jiiurcp commission In food product rates from
western states to Chicago. The whole sub
ject was thoroughly canvassed In nn all day's '
session , and late in the afternoon it was de
cided U ) sciro the bull by the horns aiul con
test the right of the commission to make the
proposed reductions.
Chairman Walker was appointed leading
counsel for the roads , with such assistants as
each road may select. Tlio commission np-
pointed July 8 as the date of the hearing ,
supposing that arguments alone would be
presented. The body of attorneys which will
then appear to do battle for tire railroads , is
authorized to challenge the commission from
the start nnd adopt any kind of legal proced
ure deemed necessary.
Any agreement against reductions In rates
will take a secondary position at the hearing ,
as the attorneysuro authorized to light tlio
matter out on the broad ground of denying
the right of the commission to make any re
ductions , which the roads can show will
force a losing rate on them. Tlioy will base
their action oil the decision of the United
States supreme court In the celebrated Min
nesota "granger" cases , which laid down the
above proposition.
Chairman Mldgcloy Talk * .
CniOAOo , Juno 21. [ Special Telegram to
Tun Bin.j : Chairman Midgelcy returned
this morning from the Buffalo meeting on
uniform classification. Said ho : "When
our plan of uniform classification is adopted
by all roads iu the United States , as 1 cer
tainly believe it will be , it will bo the greatest
advance In transportation interests over ac
complished in this country. Our committee
is composed of members from lines all over
the United States nnd each one approved the
finding as It will bo amended. There is still
much to bo done in the way of revising and
printing , but I think it will be ready for dis
tribution to all the lines by August 1. "
Chairman Midgcloy Is enthusiastically
praised for the success which scorn's
certain to secure his etTonts to
bring about uniform classification. From
Universal condemnation , even such an
authority as Chairman Fink opposing it us
Iwing chimerical , the sentiment has changed
to one of almost complete commendation.
Chairman tioddurd has sent out a circular
letter asking each general passenger agent In
the Western Passenger association to inform
him before Juno 27 , of any contract or agree
ment which may affect rates in the future.
This course , and the complaint with it Dy
every line , is absolutely necessary to pre
serve peace in the west.
There is nothing now to prevent any pas-
scngerraan contracting for n party nnd dat
ing the contract back to sucli time as ho sees
Jit. This has been done in several cases and
three general passenger agents declared to
day that the rate situation cannot bo entirely
settled until every line declares it has no
outstanding contracts.

hibition and anti-prohibition wings of the
party for control of the committee on resolu
tions. The latter are using thu result ol last

organized. But all signs will fail if the prohi
bitionists do not dictate the platform and
make a ringing and radical prohibition plank.

No oilier Baking Powder is "just as good as the 'Royal' " either in strength ,
purity or wholesomeness. The "Royal" is superior to all others in all ways.
Most housekeepers know this from their practical experience , and the reports
of the U. S. Government investigations show it officially. The Government
chemist says the "Royal" is "undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking
powder offered to the public. "
If some grocers try to sell another baking powder in place of the " Royal"
they do so because they can make a greater profit upon the other ; good evi
dence of the superiority of the "Royal. " To give greater profit the other must
be a lower-cost powder , and to cost less it must be made with alum or cheaper
and inferior materials.
Because the "Royal" uses more highly refined and expensive materials it
costs more to manufacture than any other baking powder , but it is correspond
ingly purer and higher in leavening strength , and accordingly of greater money
value to consumers , although the retail' price to them is generally the same.
Consumers are entitled to full value for their money , and therefore will not , ifv
wise , accept any substitute for the " Royal. "
Unfortunately , not only are many of these would-be substitute powders made
from inferior and unwholesome materials , but they are placed before the public
with advertisements intended to mislead as to their true character. A powder
advertised by its manufacturers to have printed upon its label all the ingredients
used in it , proves upon analysis to have in its composition four substances no
named upon its label , two of which are lime and sulphuric acid. Most of the s.
alum powders are fraudulently sold as pure cream of tartar goods.
The danger incurred , should such powders be substituted for the "Royal , "
will be apparent to every consumer.
