THE GENTLEMAN'S ' DRIVING CLUB , Tim Ilj kern' Merry HOIIJJ Jolin Term- cr'H AintHilon ( Illiiioro'H Gnll nnd liitcrrnllnK Hporllnjs GOM- nii | of All Kinds. Y no epoch within tbo annals of the great tmtloiml game has been no fraught with son nations und changes as has boon witnessed In the Western nnd Ameri can associations , as that of the present This spring the U'ostern was admitted as n party to the llrst part to the national agree ment , nnd was olovntod to the dignity of tx major body , thus In point of importance ranking above tbo American , which with drew from partnership with tno league on the grounds that they were being systemat ically Utiiicood. Thoovll cfTectsof this un wise move ha\'o been as Irreparable ns they have numerous , nnd nil organizations have suffered alike. What promised to bo the nannor year In the history of the gnmo has turned out ono of the most uncertain , tinsatlsfactoryand disastrous , as tbe absolute failure of the Western and tlio thorough de moralisation of tlio American fully attust. Puffed up with her fulso pride nnd sham Importance the Western starved out In April with a flourish ot trum pets und n sounding of brass that WHS calculated to deceive the average enthusiast , but not the careful and conserv ative element who have long since realized that a baseball campaign of the magnitude' of the ono launched upon by thi body can only bo successfully carried on by tbo strict est observance of uusincss" principles. The additional expense accruing from the West ern's elevation to the plane of the National league ami the ovortoworlnj ? ambition this Inculcated clearly foreshadowed catastrophic results. In order to fulfil ! its functions and to carry out its semblance of greatness , the different club managements wore led Into a labyrinth of perplexities to which they were Utterly nnd incontinently unequal. There In lit * rt nt lttnl n ' * lido of nn Jnstanco or two , iu the Western association's roster ot magnates , and , in fact , but n meager mlowniice of good horse sense. Men who could possibly make n suc cess of a club on the commons were installed us helmsmen of combinations supposed to bo on n level with those of Now York , Hoston Bnd Philadelphia. Disaster was inevitable. The \Vo < itorii association , too , since its very inception , has been burdened with B number of parasites who never bad its in terests at heart , but who seem to regard itas ft sort of a ( tide issue to give Just such u class mi opportunity to shako down the neoplo. All they wonted was the money in sighteach tcason , apparently expecting it bust-up in tlio end , und no preparations nor provisions were ever mndo looking to bettor things In the fu ture. If they could bold together through tbe lummor that was all they cared for the win ter would afford ample tlmo to calk up the rotten old craft so she could bo made to float Benin in the string. This year , with p. C. ICrauthoff , a most Worthy and capable gentleman , as the head und front of the con corn , the conservative class thought a season of unexampled prosperity was forthcoming , but when it became known that Lihcoln , bloux City , St. Paul and , in fact , overv club in the circuit , wns employ ing players at New Yoik and Uoston salaries , the old apprehension returned , and they gravely shook their heads as they witnessed the association , instead of starting out delib erately and in'a buslneas-liko way , jump into n veritable catch-as eatuh-cau wrestling match. That tliolr forebodings were well grounded bears no dispute at this juncture. In the very bcighth of the season , with a handsome load for the championship , the stoutest club Omaha over boasted ol , was scuttled and sunk. This sent dismny rampant throughout the entire organization , and llttlo by little the fabric began to decay und crumble , until finally the collnpso camo. Today a sad rem nant of the VVostctn association is all that remains of what was alleged to bo the second baseball organization in the country in .April , nnd this remnant has entered upon n new race simply that the association may bo preserved - served for nnother trial a year hence. Not aiono , fortunately , however , has the Western association been in her misery , for * If there over wns n baseball organization on the rack that association Is tbo Amoti- can. All that has held this piratical gang together has been the dollars of Chris Von dor Abe , and the con game played by his bushwncklng subalterns from the begin ning of the season. Nut a club outside of Boston , nnd its profits wouldn't build u rail road , has made h dollur , but instead have dumped enough money to have run a dozen such organizations line affairs in the baseball - ball world been pleasant and harmonious. Just now the American is floundering weirdly and it is only the promise of un early com- pomisu with the league that enables it to keep us head above tbo surface. In mattorof fact It is worse off than the Western , whose case is deplorable enough at bost. High Tlmo I'or Itiislness. It does seem n trifle strange that Manager Leadloy , If the Omaha club is really to bo continued until the mid of the season , is not able to Mi out : then bis team from tbo mass of basob nil timber that has been sot alloat dur ing the past ten davh. The Idea , however of maintaining the Western association with but four clubs Is ono that will bo received with but llttlo favor. No series of games could bo played by tlioso teams that would nwakou even u semblance of interest , and It strlltos the ordinary observer that tiio best plan would bo to no- ki'owlcdgo unequivocally that the organisa tion lias been doomed , and quit entirely. Instead - t stead of continuing on nnd sinking still moro money , the directors should hold a meeting nnd map out n line of procedure for the coming - i ing year , utill/lng a juitlon of the money that this would require that must necessarily bo dumped by hanging on. What if all the players of the Western association are turned loose the better portion has already gone , nnd another six months will see Ilio bnso ball market so glutted with players that it will make the nvorago manager's head swim to make n choice. Again It Is not only the supporters of the game who are to suffer by this llnnl " * * collapse , for many n player who has boon drawing his $10 , # 15 nnd ? JO a day for almost absolutely no return , will bo glad to get u job lit the above prices per month. This sea son's work will relegate many nnd many a whilom star to the ijulot precincts of the brick yard , the burloy-btirloy of the rolling mill , or Hie healthful calisthenics of the pick mid Hhovol on the public highways- Even anew now national agreement , which is bound to como , will not prove the solution of the large contingent of hoodlum * , toughs and cranks nnd confidence men who Infest the national gnmo under the guise of ball players. Yes , it Is high tlmo the Western association * ceased monkeying1 , and got down to business. 'I lie SmokuleHs Powder. A correspondent writes TDK BRB asking for an enumeration of tbo merits and dcmeris of tbo so called smokeless powders , as com pared with the ordinary black article , but It is doubtful whether TUB Ben la quallllcd to a\ithoratlvoly discuss tbo matter. Frequent use of the wood powder recently , though , tuts Impressed the writer with its many attrac tions , and it will bo used continuously In preference to the old ordinary gun powder. Ills almost absolutely smokeless , with but the faintest recoil , und makes u report that is but u whisper compared to that made by the common black. Homo authorities boldly claim that when acting pronorly , the wood mid white uowdcrs produce higher velonltios , while the pressure is not too high , and In deed give Iu some cases lower pressure than tbo best black powder. They also claim , that being composed chiefly of high explo sives , they must necessarily have possibilities ot Instability of character. One cannotjbut feel regarding- them at one would toward n captured lion or tiger which may have been apparently turned. Subject to control under ruinary circumstances , the natural ferocity t the beast remains latent. At uny lustunt r ' It may break forth nnd destroy the Umor , who the minute before appeared to bo its master. Ordinary gunpowder alone appears to bo wottby ot full confidence , nlthougn many gunners nro coming to the Shultz nnd wood powders. Krank Parmnlco In using them exclusively both In the fluid nnd nt the trap , nnd claims that ho docs fully ns good execution ns with the old black powder , nnd doesn't suitor ono hundredth part of the nn- noynnco in the way of nolsn , smoke and recoil. The GiMitlfitnnn'fl Driving Clnl ) . The Gentleman's Driving club , which hold such nn Interesting matinee at the fair grounds yesterday , U becoming n flourishing Institution , nnd will do much toward foster ing un interest in good roadsters , nnd furnish any amount of amusement for local owners. There Isn't n city of nnv consequence in the country that does not boast ot n similar or ganization. and thu nttcndnucoat many ot the matinees given exceed that at the regular professional courses. The amount of friendly rivalry that niters Into thcso equine struggles Is nn Ingredient that never fnllsto make them exceedingly exciting , nnd it will not bo long before tno at'oiidanco nt the local park will bo commensurate with the Interest manifest. The Omaha club was organized Augiut 10 bv the election of II. 1C. Htirkett , president ; W. W. Mare , vice-president : George IX hd- wards , secretary , ami K. O. BacKus , treas urer. It began with u dozen charter mem bers , but now numbers three times that many , nml is increasing constantly. Regular bl-weokly sessions nro held at the fair grounds1' course , on Wednesday nnd Satur day afternoons. Talking Tliron li Ills UnHmntniis. Harrv Glirr.oro's claim In the Chicago pa pers that ho was not knocked out a week neo last night at South Omaha by n blow from Jack Wllko's ' fist docs not como in good grace from this old stale and played out rlngstor. Ho says that ho received his quietus by a col lision of nis c.iput with that of Jack's that they both led and missed , but their ho.tds came together with n tcrtiblu concussion which knocked him senseless. This Is guff , pure and simple , as everyone who witnessed the fight knows. Wtlkes , oneying his second's instructions , went after Cilmoro in cut nest nt the outset of the second round , and the first notable tiling that happened In his rush , wns that ho received a crack over the eye himself that gave Gllmoro llrst blood. In stead of shcriclng Wilkcs' onslaught , howcv- evur , this made him moro savage and deter mined than over , but it wasn't moro than thirty seconds afterward that Glltnoro re ceived tlio smash in the forehead that split the llcsh llko a knifn and drenched his face iu blood which undo it un easy matter for Jack to got in a settler well back on the neck. Gilmoro's talk , however , e.uinot rob Wllks of his claim to nu easy victory , and ho Is only belittling tiimself in making it. A Tjottoi1 from John Tpemrr. ST. JosKl'ii , Mo , Aug. SI. To the Sporting Kditorof Tin : BKB : I have just written Mr. F. C. Keod. president of thoManawa railroad tour boat rates. Hostile * mvsolf I will bring with mo four oared double and single eared crows , who will compote for prizes. I will rovr single races with a competent man whom I will bring with mo. Under my instructions here , nro some flue amateurs who arc members of the St. Joseph Boating association , of which I have ctiargo. They are about completing n commodious boat house , furnished with tno latest appli ances , which will cost from 8,000 to SIO.OOO. I have lately challenged ilanlou nnd Gau- daur , but up to the present tlmo have beard nothing from them. I have $ ) l)0 ) forfeit with a sporting paper in Now York. It is my in tention soon to challenge any man In the world at a single scull race. Very tiuly yours , JOHN TEEMEII. The Kntes arc Asiiiinst Them. There is but little doubt but what Eitcl- jorg , McCauley , Donnelly , Clarke , Halligan and ono or two of tbo other old Omaha plavors , are ruing the day they listened to the blandishments of the man , who moro than any ono else , wrecked the Western association , and that man is Dan Shannon. Eltcljorg nnd McCauley ore to bo released by Washington ar.d Donnelly is in a similar predicament at Columbus. Not n single man of the old local force has been nulo to play anything like the game bo played hero , and instead of tbo praise lavishly bestowed - stowed upon them by the Omaha pro's , thay now take their daily rousts. The consequences are that "Old Cy" Silt- cllffo has grown as thin nnd puny as n child ; Sandy Grinin manages to muff about ns many flies as ho catches ; McCauley is n deal fail ure and Shannon has lied homo sick. I'nlley WritfH 11 Cnril. , Ja , Aug. 17. To the Sport ing Editor of Tun Dm : : I notice iu last Saturday's BBC a man inquiring for Pulley's time for 100 yards. Will you please tell that man in your columns that If bo wants to llnd out my time to como to Shetlandiah and run mo or bring a man nnd $100 or SJOO and ho can got action and llnd out. This is from one of your Bui : readers. P. A. Pui.t.uv. Up anil Down the Ijlnes. McClollan instead of Day is playiiigjthlrd for the Lambs. Jack Crooks is the best dresser in the Amer ican association. Jimmy Cunavan is now playing short for the Milwuukees. Kid Baldwin used to say bo bad a sister who could catch Will White. All bets on the standing of the clubs in the Western association are off way off. Billy Hart Is troubled with n bud ankle , vet ho manages to win about every game ho pitches. Milwaukee is warm for the national agree ment nnd the association will llnd the new member primed for peace. Phil Toninoy , with Lincoln during the llrst of the scn-.on , is dying of consumption at nis homo in Kcading , Pa. Three of the greatest stars on the dlimond todav. Jack Crooks , Snapper Nave Cooney and Kid Nichols , are Onnitia graduates. Dave Howe is coming In for about a thor ough a roast as the next man. Lincoln is a good pluco for Dave to stay away from. Bob Emsllo has loft the Western asoocia- tlon nnd Is umpiring in thu National league. King GalTnoy will not tarry long , cither. Monkey Cllno has secured n berth in Fore- " paugh's "moiingerio and Hunk O'D.iy ' lias gonotoPcorla , 111. , to superintend a distillery. Willie Munis has quit playing ball for the season , lie received a pitched ball iu the neck several days ago and was badly injured. Somebody shot at Dan Stearns in a saloon row down at Lincoln last Thursday night , nnd his hair tinned ns white as the driven snow. Big Wilson ngnin won the game for Den ver Wednesday in the nlntn inning. With three men on buses ho lit onto Stein for three pillows. Down on the Potomao they call "Deacon" Griflln by his right name , Tobias. But a rosa if named Tobias would smell just as sweet Grillln. To give Cincinnati n'n association team next year , either St. Louis , Milwaukee , Columbus or Louisville will have to bo be trayed. Ken Mulford. Dave Howe hus resigned his position as tbo owner of Nebraska's capital ; Jack has been admitted to the old men's home and a sponge fell on Wll'ilo and killed him. Bug Holliduy , an old Western association favorite , has again resumed his position in the Held for Cincinnati After u prolonged lay off on account of an injury. The National league will enter Into no com promise with the American nssoclat'on that will provide for the escape of Dan Shannon and the g.uig who betrayed Omaha. Tbo Western association died of misman agement , treachery ana the high salary com plaint. It has been resurrected , however , and iu nnother year may fuUy recover. Larry Twltchell still keeps up his lick In tbo box for Columbus. Ho took Clarke's pluco In tbo last game Dad pitched and the Louisville Colonels pummclcd him black and blue iu two Innings. Jack Plcicott nnd Koddy Gallagher will llcht to u tlnUh en the ball grounds down at Kansas City tomorrow afternoon just before the game h called. It is an extra attraction offered by Muuagur Jimmy Mannini ; . The Western association dates Its downfall back to July I'- ' , the day on which Dan Shan non consummated his scheme to wreck the Omaha club. Managers should deal charily with this fellow in the davs to como. Jimmy Donnelly is not playing the ball for Columbus ho did here , und If Scbmolz can secure O'Kourko ' uf Duluth ho will be let out , Iu such an event.Mmmy , Shannon will proba bly bold you up. He owes It to you. The Browns' now battery from Mlnncnpo- is Itottgcr uud DarUuf jumped light in nnd won a gnmo yesterday , Globe Do mo- crnt. Yes nnd they have jurapod right In twice since nnd lost a game each tlmo. Milwaukee's history In ba obnll hw buon a checkered ono. In 1873 she started out with the National league , and since that tlmo has been with everything In the country save the California league. She'll got In jail next , They do say that Dan Shannon's ' bead has again assumed Its natural proportions. Ilo hasn't impressed Washlngiotiuus n either player or manager , but Instead , they any ho wns overrated , nnd they say what is correct nt that. John O'Keofe says the crowds nt the gntnos In Columbus compare favorably with thoio in Omnhn. Just thirty-eight people besides John witnessed the game ho took Iu there n week HBO. Dad Clarke says tno town Is rotten. The frantic rfforts of both tbo Western nnd American associations are pitiful to bo- hold. There can bo no prosperity In base ball until nil tbo organisations in the coun try are playing In harmony , us Hen Mulford truly says. Mrs. Beckley thinks she can play llrst bet ter than Juke has lately. The llrst baseman's wife can catch very cleverly , and tbo other dny nn ox-twirler of Plttsburg tried to make her cry enough , but she caught the swift throws with ease , says AH Oratty. The national board has flopped once moro and sajs that W. E , Ilallignii's release was fraudulent and that ho must go back to Omaha. Cincinnati did not play him on Saturday and if the Hods hold him they will have to purchase his release in a regular manner. Times-Star. A Washington scrlba writing of the slaughtered hopes of the cranks there says : "Sadly , but surely , they realized that of the much vaunted Omaha coiitlngftit lolled upon to revolutionize basub.ill in this vicinity , Grillln Is about the only ono worth a hill of beims , and not such a big hill at that. " Kduln Eltcljorg has been troubled this season with a tapu worm , but while hero the management refused to let him mcdicato for the malady for fear It v. otild ruin our chances for the pennant. Just at pra-iont Eddie lias plenty of tlmo to taculo Ins little decoction of pomegranate , mole fern and pumpkin steels. Jocko Halligan , wnilo catching for the DulT.ilo Brotherhood club last year , was struck by lightning on the Cleveland grounds , and it didn't oven make a dent in him. The other day. however , ho was Htruck again and knocked out of the Cincinnati club , and must stay out until Mr. Loftus remits 1UJO cases. The players of the Columbus team were in the stand nt St. Louis Tuesday and wlU nessed Milwaukee's debut in the American association. Tlio Buckcyo't to u mini ' "pulled" lor the Browi'rs. as they are all graduates from the Western association , and were anxious to see their old conforms win. And they did win und win easily. President Kr.imer says that "tho abandon ment of Cincinnati is onlv temporary , am ! that they will bo in Hue tbero with n now new club ami new grounds next spring ! " Such n course would mean the double cross for Milwaukee , but it isn't prob.iblo that the Broweis would accept H prop warranted to be sawed in two at the end of three months. John O'Koofo was in Columbus a couple of days last week anil had a talk with Dad Caikei Cliirko said he would like to comeback back to Omalia , but lip guesacd it was too late , and ho guessed right. Dad , however , isn't alone in his longings. It is a IU to 1 shot that there isn't a single member of the old team but who would rather bo back In Omaha than iu his present situation. They know the end is not yot. In speaking of Charley Keillor , tbo BrooKlyn - lyn Eaplo says : Ho is as tough as a hired - ' red Indian full of bad firewater. Ho liobblt- . across the diamond when ho is not playing as though ho had six kidneys in each foot and a bunch of corns under each arm. His alleged witticisms are bits ho hus picked up from others , and his carriage and actions tlioso of the would bo "Soy , Chimney. " Some patent , medicine firm ought to kidnap him , copyright bis photos nud sell them as emetics. Abnnr D.irymplo | , the ball plavor of the Milwaukee club , was a prisoner of Constable Mclnerney for a few minutes Momlnv ni ht. The ronstablo held a capias for Dai's arrest in a suit in which C. A. " Wcidcnfeller , of last year's brotherhood association , was the plaintiff.Veidenfellor claims that D ilrym- pie borrowed $ .200 iiom him last year and failed to repay the loan. It was known that Dalrymple would pass through Chicago Mondav night on route- for St. Louis , and the constable waited for him at tbo depot. Hatncr than miss the tram the ball player settled the account. Chicago Henild. L. C. KnnithofT , president , of the Wostcn Baseball ossiciation , and John W. Spoas , president of the Kansas Citv i-lub , have boon prowling around the Yellowstone park region and met an adventure. To reach some mug- nlllcont scenery it was necessary to under take a seventy-live mile stage coach ride. This is what Mr. Krauthofl savs about it : "While journeying along tbo stage uddcnly stopped with n jerk that piled us in a neap in ono corner. Two seven-shooters were nt the window of tbo coach and wo wore politely asked by two masked men to band over our valuables. Wo passed over what llttlo change wo hadamounting to over M)0 ) each , besides a watch nnd some little trinkets. After thanking us for our kindness they turned tbo coach around and told us the best thing wo could do would bo to turn back nnd make for HID railroad station at once. Wo started , and , reaching a telegraph ofllco , had to send homo for money to continue our journey. " ol'tho "Wheel. T. W. Collins Is visiting nt his homo in Knoxville , 111.

"JImmlo" Ebersolo turned out with tbo Omaha Wheel club bovs Sunday morning ami showed the "chain gang" that they have not everything their ou n way. His good old ordinary was in the front rank the entire distance. George K.

Last Sun day morning's effort wns a grand success. each singer , singing with heartfelt emotion , Cowlo nnd Ellsworth have charge of the commissary wagon for the Omaha Wheel club and nro thoroughly alive to their nrdournus duties. Thoio are several little ! things which they hnvo not "caught on to" , yet which will enhance their value In the 1 estimation of the club. For example , Lake ' Mauawa lies south oust of the Bluffs. Take the Main street road and follow It until you reach the edge of the lake. Sarpy Mills is In Nebraska , south west of Omaha , via South Omaha , etc. , etc. Cycling Is receiving considerable attention 'nt the hands of I lip Omahi Wheel club of late. A rousing mtbting of the active mom- I i bors was hold Thursday evening of last week ' nnd ways nnd means to promote nu Interest In the iport , wora dUcussod to considerable length. AsnrosmVof the meeting the club runs since hnvo been better attended than i for rcnny moons.

Ho had boon occupied thus for perhaps an hour when bo decldoJ to wheel homeward und ateppod out upon the piazza , when lot bis wheel had taken unto itself n pair of wlngi and had flown , so to spunk , to parts unknown.

[ Spsclol toTiti'.nrin.J If Mr. J. Kmifniiinn of Doll Stimitra is not mistaken the United States will bo raising its own suiiuvtr.i tob.icco before very long. "I nin now on my wav south , " said he at the Auditorium , "to look Into the surround ings there. If the plan provoj fovdblo plan- tntlons for raising SuufMru tobacco will bo established there. I have no doubt that n loaf us good for practical purposes us that raised in the Island of Sumatra can bo shown In tills country. H may not bo quiet so largo as the native \eaf , but , this will malt but llttlo difference In Its commercial value. "Wo have been compelled to lake some nc- tlon of this sort , " continued Mr. Kaufmann , "by the MoKlnloy bill. Since Its p.usago forty of the largest tooacco plantations in Sumatra have buon elojod , entailing nn ag gregate lois to tlio ownois of $ JOOU..OUO. ) In anticnmtlon of the rise in Sumatra all the biT | dealers In the United Slates laid in n largo supply and the consciiuenco Is tlio mar ket is glutted. " Speaking of the svstom under which the plant is cultivated in Sumatra , Mr. Kauf man said : "Tho plantations are leased from the native Miilavuhloftnlus for n period of sovonty-IIvo years. The Malays still coutrol the Interior of the country which Is rich in minerals , out the Malays prefer to live in their own \vay and are hostile to any now enterprise , so that llttlo or no attempt has boon made to develop these enterprises. The labor on the plantations U done by coollos , 15.000 of whom have boon thrown out of employment. 1 hey are hired for a period of three yoarj , and during mat period the authority of the managers of tlio plantations over thorn is almost absolute. They mo fur- insiiod with dwelling * and what little cloth ing they need. Thov arc also given the to bacco seed and each aliened a piece of ground The llrst part of the product Is taken to pay for the food , clothing , etc. , advanced ; then a certain proportion of the balance belongs - longs to tlio coolie. The year's income of n coolie after these necessary expenses are paid ranges froir. $ .10 to SI5J. Some make as low us $5 and some are even in debt at the cud of three years' service. Those are obliged to remain aim worK uniii uns uooi is p.uu. 11 they attempt to run nwav they are arrested by order of the Dutch governor , brought back nnd delivered over to the man ager of the plantation for punishment. A coolie usually gets about twenty-live lashe ? for the llrst offense nnd is not able to walk for a fortnight. It really nnkoi little difference ' ence whether a coolie hn's $ . " > or $110 profit to show at the end of the year , as it is all gambled away as soou as ho guts it. -.lani'H Itioo Crop IN short. Mr. J. F. Smith , the consul of the Slame.'o government at Now York city , says tho" rico crop of that kingdom is short this year. "Just how much the shortage will amount to , " said Mr. Smith at the Grand 1'acilic. "it is vetv hard to sav , bacauso tlio Siamese government has no department for the col lection of crop statistics as wo have here. There has been a scarcity of grain and the rivers from which the irrigation uitches are supplied have run quito low. "Tho present king of Slam , " added Mr. Smith , "is following the progressive example of nis father. Bangkok , the capital , now has horse cars , electric lights and other features of a live modern city. I myself am an American tuid his majesty cultivates both Americans and Europeans , as ho is anxious to learn as much as pos sible about our civilisation. The overwhelming majority of the Siamese are Buddhists and cling to their religion with so much tenacity that , it is difllcult to roach them with the teachings of Christianity. " A Vouiifj 1'rinoc's Idea of Kim. T. C. Crawford , the famous newspaper correspondent who is stopping at the Hlchel- iou , relates. the following storv of Emperor William's little son : "Tho guards at the palace are required to salute every time royalty passes bv , dropping the butts ot their gutis upon the ground. The young prince in passing ono of the guards at the doorway of his father's palace discovered that cadi time his royal llttlo person came that way the big gun olattoroa to the pave ment. One day Ins father hoard a contin uous pounding at the door which annoyed him verv much and , going out to see the cause of the disturbance , ho found his small son strutting backand forth in front of the prespiring sentry highly elated at the noibo which was being made in his honor , ilo was promptly taken in hand nnd received tlio ad ditional honor of a vigorous thrashing nt the hand of his majesty. ThinkOuhiltroe u In the course of conversation Mr. Crawford tool : occasion to express in very plain lan guage his opinion of Hon. Thomas Ochiltroo of Texas , "This man Ochiltrco , " said ho , "is the veriest fraud and humbug. Ho gets quarters free at the HolTnmn housa in Now Yorlc on the strength of Ills loputntion as a story teller and the advertisement his presence is sup posed to bo among politicians and prominent public men. 1 have heard him toll stories , und I tinva heard u hundred men who could do it bettor. They didn't pretend to bo story tellers either. The fact is that Tom Oohil- trco is a creation of the newspaper reporters , lie know * liow togoton the good side of tno boys and they have made his reputation for linn. The other day bo was exhibiting a check for $ . )0XJ ( ) which ho pretended had been signed bv .1. W. Mackay , when as a matter of fact ho couldn't get Mackay's cncck lor $ . " > 0.

Wonoby of Philadelphia is at the Palmer house with n wild talu of woe. According to his statement Mr. Wonoby is flXt.OOl ) worse off now than ho was some low months ago when ho wont doivn into South Carolina tr > invest some of bis spare change. It came about in this way : " 1 had heard , " said ho , "of the excellent opportunities for investment in South Carolina lina nnd determined to co down and investi gate. I was treated royally. There wore banquets and drives , fox limits nnd every thing to make life pleasant for mn. The men I met enlarged on the magnificent resources of the state , gave satisfactory explanations as to why it hadn't boon developed before , the war , lack of capital , etc. "What wo iiced8aidmy friend , "is north ern capital. Wo'vo got the resources , any Cod's quantity of ttioin. All wo want is th capital. " "When ray enthusiasm had boon worked to the proper pitch four or live members of the Horseshoe Swopson company offered to let mom on a deal in Cherokee county nnd I de cided to pay ? ) ,000 for ' .

Shortly after the mouoy hud been paid over , however , and I began to make some Improve ments I received notice from several individ uals to the ulfent that thov had bought that same property direct from the state for -0 cents per aero and they exhibited deeds wltii the state seal upon them. I afterward found that it was the custom to issue patents to the same property over and over in this way and that they call this species of robbery''slip- shucking. ' " Such was the storyof Mr. James U , Monoioy of Philadelphia. Cnltiirn MovlnU'tiHt \vard. It was William Uoorga Uordon , editor of Current Literature , who expressed the opin ion In conversation at the Chicago Press club ttiat the star of literature is moving toward the west. Of Chicago ho said : "This city is pushing ahead In literary Holds witti the same courage and Indomitable energy she das displayed In commercial alfuirs. Writers whoso reputations extend beyond local boun daries uro springing upbore constantly and in my opinion the tlmo is not fur distant when Chicago will occupy as high a position In a literary way as she now does well In pork packing for Instance. .

For If over a set of plavers weio completely vn'iqutshed and "put to sleep1' it was the Omaha club last night in a contest with but a fragment of the Duiiison club. For days the air has been full of rumors of a threatened ad vance to bo made upon us bv the great whist giants of Omaha , and last evening the rumors wore nil vcrlrted bv a full battalion of player.s from across the "groat muddy" swoopiuir down upon us. After some preliminary skirmishing the contest began in earnest at the Wilson house at SyO : p. in. , and continued until the early morning. To say that Omaha was routed and completely annihilated is but to express It mildly. Our hoys are toduv without nn exception able to bo out on the streets to re ceive the congratulations of admiring ft lends , while borne of tbo Omaha players were so badly "used up" that they were not able to return homo this morning and riro bslng treated and cared for in tbo b03t nun- ner possible bv the victors.
