The dirty work done

dealt the game a
blow that It will ro-

to recover from.
In no city hi tbo
United State * in tlio Inst fourteen years
has there been such a luck of Interest In tlio
great notional game ni tbcio Is hero today.
The four games finished on Friday last with
Denver were not witnessed all told by morn
than ICO people , and thuy evinced llttlo erne
no enthusiasm. The players , too , of both
teams played In n perfunctory sort of way
that evidenced their indifference as to the
result. Without further oxpatlntlou , however -
over , It Is safe to * tate that unless n very
unlocked for Interest is nrouscd this whiter
Omaha next uuimor must content herself
with amateur base ball. Thmo
nro gloomy prospects , Indeed , considering
that the city Is almost wholly without sum
mer amusements or diversion.
What IMiiniiiccr Itol ) Snld.
When Manager Loadloy wont down to
Kansas City last Monday , ttio team , In charge
of McUonolof ! t for Fremont at tbo same tl i o.
The understanding between tbo manager
end the third baseman was , that , If the club
was to quit , Leadloy was to telegraph , "It Is
rubber boots for the balance of the season I"
Londloy'i mission to the Cowboy capital ,
however , bore hotter fruit , and that same
afternoon. Just after the game nt Fremont
closed , McGlono received the following tele
gram :
KANSAS CITY , Mo. , Aug. : H. To Jack Mo-
Clone , Omaha Baseball club , Fremont , Nob. :
I will to homo this evening with money In
my Insldo pocket. Wo are yet on earth.
Bon LHAIII.KY.
Of courno this was glorious news to the
gang , whoso vision had been affrighted with
prospective long walks and with snow bulls
for a winter diet. In fact some of them were
terrorized with the apprehension that they
would have to po to work , ns they hadn't
aeon a cent of salary In n month , and they
feared they never would again. Of course
this good news restored thuirdrooplngspirils
and waning appetites , and at dinner thnt
evening each man took two ardors of pie ,
nnd afterward Jack bought n 5-cont
cigar all round. Once on iho train and
speeding salary-ward , the gang grow Jocose
nnd boisterous , and nt about every live miles
Captain -McGlono would stand up on his seat ,
and. hat In band , imiuiro :
"Well , boys , wbat did Manager Bob say I"
| r "What did ho sayl" the gang would rejoin
I > In chorus.
That's what I said 1" Jack would respond.
Then they would all rise ana In rytlnnio
nnlsou proclaim :
"Ho said :
"I will be homo this evening with
money In my Inside--nocket. Wo are
still on earth ! Bon LHAUI.Y. "
The SporiHinnii'H Idyll.
The upland plover has winged his way
farther south , and not until another eight
months roll round will his plaintive whlstlo
bo heard on meadow nnd hillside. Invariably
tvlth the arrival of Jack Frost the birds depart -
part , going out In a night , like so many
feathered sprites , without as much ns saying
farewell to the regretful sportsman. The
birds' migrations are nocturnal , and It Is
seldom that man , however , watchful , witnesses -
nesses either their arrival or doparturo.
This fall's flight has boon a good ono , and
iao Industrious gunner nas boon amply re
warded for his long tramp * aflola. But at
Inst the graceful little beauty has pone , yet
the sportsman has plenty to occupv his time
and attention. The open season for prairlo
chickens boglns on Tuesday next , and
01 the crop U reported largo on all the well
known grounds lu both tbls state and Da
kota , it ought to bo no dilllcult mutter to Und
good shooting at but llttlo trouble or ex
pense. These nlpnlng mornings and ovenlncs ,
too , will shortly bring in the teal , and then
on , until winter wraps the rivers , lake * and
nmarstics In his hoar mantle , the wild fowl
peoso , canvas Dock , mallard , redhead , widgeon ,
blue bill and whistler will afford an nbnn-
dance of the most royal .sport of all. Quail
also will bo ready to furnish their full
quantum of excitement In golden October ,
and so , nftor all , the departure of the sand
piper Is not much to bo lamented.

Several race moots and tournaments are
booked for this and next month which will
Interest the local cyclists , racing men
In particular , io. : The Peorla tournament
commence : ) September 18 , continuing to
the L 0th. The Sioux City Cycle club's tour
nament occurs October 7 and 8. nnd the Mis
souri Valley whculmen hold their race moot
October I'J. Valuable prizes nro offered ut
all of these events and races for all styles of
machines and riders are programmed. The
tournaments at Poorla and Sioux City will
bring together representative fast men from
north , south , east and west , who will contest
for glory In some of the tlnestspeod combina
tions over witnessed in the western country ,
as both tracks are In excellent shape and the
managers offer every inducement. The races
at Missouri Valley will bo principally run by
local "scorcher * , " J'ot the affair Is In the
bands of a committee who will "push things"
nnd visiting wheel men will bo cared for nnd
entertained. Omaha evidently Isn't "In It"
this season as no movement to hold a fall
meet Is tallied of. This is too bad us such a
meet would boom cycling and advertise Oma
ha In the course of time to a great extent.
One of the most enjoyable events wITtah
has occurred In the local cycling world of
late , waj the visit of the Fremont Wheel
club to the wheeling organizations of Omaha
last Sunday. The Fremont boys siartod
from homo ut 4 o'clock In the mo'rnlng , and
reached Omaha nt 8:20 : , having been four
hours and twenty minutes onrouto. They
were mot nt Irvlnuton by a delegation of the
I ouvlst Wheelmen , who escorted them to the
Hotel Casey , whore bruuufust was spread.
A pleasant little visit was then had ut the
Omaha Wheelmen's club house , following
which a short run about town
was taken. In the afternoon the visitors
wore piloted over to Lake Manawa , whore
n steamboat ride and a delightful dip In the
waiors of the laito wore enjoyed. After this
followed a 5 o'clocic dinner at an Omaha
rosturant and the merry crowd of cyclists
adjourned to the depot where hands were
shaken and good byes said. A westbound
train steamed Fromontward carrying on
board as Jolly a party of cyclists us over
mounted a wheel und the good wishes of the
Omaha wheelmen. The party was in ctiariro
of Captain Nlcodomus und consisted oo
Messrs. Frank Ellick , Frank Smith , Ilnnlon ,
McElvoy , Ganger and Johnson. The Omahu
cyclists who looked after their entertainment
were E. U. Smith. K. L. Young. W. J. Morris
Wallace Taylor , E. L. Potter , J. 11. Knstmau
tnd II. K. Smith of the Tourists ; Gus
Eponotter , E. B. Smith , Emerson , Pearce ,
Head and Dale of the Omaha Wheel club ,
nnd Mulhall of the Apollo cycling club.
Visiting wheelmen will always llnd a royal
welcome awaiting them in Omaha and
Omaha cyclists are only too glad to act
as ho.Is. .

Handsome shades of silk hosiery include
the colors of fashionable ovouing igowns ,
grays , tuns und modes , lavender , cream , yel
low , Nile , turquoise , pearl , etc.
In the unimU of hosiery black remains such
u leader that nothing oUo has yet caught up
with It , but there are black and black stockIngs -
Ings , und the bettor plan Is to buy a reliable
brand , of which there nro several raakos.
The Oxford tie is Iho best for summer
wear ; nnd In winter a gaiter can bo put over
it , and in wet weather u sandal rubber is
easily adjusted. A lied shoo keeps Its shape
longer than ti buttoned ono , because as It
stretches you can lace It tighter.
Slippers made with sides of undressed
leather or cloth exactly mutuhlng the stock-
inus , and with toes of patent leather or em
broidered or beaded , make the foot seem
small , for the sides catch no light and all that
one sees is the bright point of tbo shoo.
Black bootoas haying coloruJ tops are some
what worn , the favorites probably bolng
'those with KIcholiuu stripes und a band of
embroidery or points al the division. Tbo
extra-sized hose are u boon to stout people ,
though many do not seem to know of tnum.
Black slippon may bo furnished with rod

that there is no dliUoulty In thu way of qual

The contonnlnl celebration of Wnshlnfton
commnmlcry , Knights Templar , of Hartford ,
Conn , , which Is the oldest organization of thu
order In the United States , will bo an ovum
of greater intoros' than the co'ntenary of the
grand lodge , which was celebrated In Now
Haven two years nco. The commaiidery
wns organized , says n dispatch to the New
York Times , in the town of Colchester lu
July , 17UO , being the first nnd only
encampment In the United States that
received a charter from the grand en
campment of Huuland. The charter was
Issued nnil-continued without doubt by Wai-
lace Bodwoll Wright , grand master of
ICnlghts Templar nt tbo time. The original
recipients of tbo order of knighthood In the
encampment were John H. Wutrous , Asn
UIgclow , Ko or Bulkoloy , John Brood and
Joel Worthington. AVutrous was a member
of the general assembly in 17Sj ( , representing
the town of Colchester. In Juno , 1S01 , n second
end charter was obtained from London and
an encampment was held lu New London.
iCllphulot Bulkcley was elected captain general -
oral , James Baxter , llr.u captain ; Henry
Champion , second captain ; Asa Blgclow ,
treasurer ; John It. Wntrous , secretary , and
Kbenozer Perkins , marshal. Tho.io olUcers
retained their positions until April , 1SIO.
Kliphaloi Bulkcloy was a prominent Mason
as far back as 1705 , nnd ono of the ofllcars of
the grand lodge of the state , In 1 ? ' . ) - ! ho
represented Colchester In the general assem
bly. Henry Champion was u member of the
legislature from the same town in ITOit. In
ISIM ) mninhnr.s ' nf the pmnTtmnnnt tinrtll ! >
patud ni the dedication of the Masonic hall In
New London , the uvont occurring Juno -1 of
that year. April 0 , IblO , the principal mem
bers of the encampment were re-elected , and
hold their positions without change uutll
April 28 , 18U > , when the Jurisdiction of the
general grand encampment of the United
States was acknowledged for tbo llr.sl lime.
Tno ancient charter was relinquished and
n now ono received from Thomas Smith
Webb , which is still operative In the com-
mandory. Tbo authority of the grand com-
mandcry of Connecticut has boon rocongizod ,
however , since Its organization , September
1 , IS'jr ,
In the different charters the right of the
encampment to moot In Hartford bad been
sodulounlvproaorvod. While Colchester was
the birthplace of Knight Tumplarism In the
state , it was not practicable that supremacy
should oo retained ihoro. In 1844 the com-
maudory was transferred to Hartford. Tno
original charter , which was received from
London , was taken iboro with other docu
ments from Colchester , but has boon lost for
forty years at leait.Tho first Installation In
Hartford was conducted by Albert Case ,
LT.uul commander of Iho grand cncamnmont
of South Carolina. It Is an interesting fact
that Washington cohimnudery has had the
names of three governors of the state on its
roll of membership , two of whom , John
S , Peters end Ttioinas H. Seymour
occupied Its highest ofitaors. Governor
Seymour was eminent commander nt
the time of his deathin , Hartford in KSO'J , and
was succeeded by Mayor John G. Hoot. Tbo
latter delivered the oration nt Ihe unveiling
of the Seymour monument , which was
erected oy the comibandory within a few
years. The tate Governor Marshall Jowcll
was knighted by tho' cvinuundory In 1870 ,
and Governor Bulkeley is a lined descendant
of ono of its original founders. Elaborate
plans will bo dovisod' for the observance of
this Interesting Masonib centennial.
Oolnrcd Masons.
At the annual communication of tua a rand
lodge of Missouri of Negro Masons , held in
this city last week , Grand Master Pnlham
delivered his annual address , during which
ho gave the following history of the origin
and progress of tlio order in the United
States :
"In the early part of the year I77.'i the
Masons of tbo city of Dot toil invited Prlnco
Hull , a prominent colored citizen , to bo Init
iated into the mysteries of Masonry. Prlnco
Hall , nftor duo deliberation , accepted the In-
vitulion and ho was Initiated , passed and
raised on March 10 , 177'i , fourtetin ether col
ored eitUons were made Masons , nnd It is
duly recorded that each of those candidates
paid the sum nf $ l ° r > for the de
grees conferred ; that this work was
regular Is beyond question by any ono who
has suftloiont intelligence to comprehend a
fair statement of the facts. The grand ledge
of England approved the work of iho sub-
ordlnaio ledge by boldly proclaiming to the
Mnsonio fraternity that Masons by the oxor-
c.iso of brotherly love nro taught to regard
the whole human race ns ono family. In the
onunicatlnn of Ibis doctrine they proved
themselves consistautMnsons who recognized
that peculiar and distinctive foundation upon
which the whole Masonic superstructure
rests the fathorhooJof Godnud the brother
hood of man.
"Grand Master Gardner in his address to
the grand loclpa of Massachusetts In 1870
clearly .sots forth the regularity of Negro
Masonry when ho savs that nftor patient and
painstaking investigation ho found doi-ummi-
tury evidence that on the Oth day of March
177. > the symbolic degrees ol Masonry were
conferred upon fourloen colored parsons in n
military led e under Iho jurisdiction of the
grand ledge of England Iho work was duly
accepted nnd n warrant was giantod.
' 'Prlnco Hall , in his letter making applicn-
tlon for Iho warrant , says : 'I would Inform
you thnt the lodge bus boon founded eight
years. Wo have had uo opportunity to apply
for n warrant before , though wo have boon
importuned to send to Franco for ono. Yet
wo thought It best to send to the fountain
head. On September 'J7 , 17S4 , the warrant
wns granted by iho grnnd ledge of Englnud
nnd Its Issuance and destination Is duly at
tested upon the authentic records of the
grand ledge of England. This ledge was n
part of iho great Masonic svstom of the uni
verse nnd no one questioned Its Icgitimauv
until men's hearts became callous nnd their
reason dethroned under the damning
influence of the monster prejudice. Prince
Hull acting under the authority received
from the grand ledge of England , nnd ns
past irriimi master , organized lodges nt
Philadelphia nnd Provldonco ,
"In IbOS Africa lodge nnd her Into daugh
ter. * organized a grauUlodgo at BostonMass. .
and the authority of tills grand lodgoderivcd
ns it wns fro ! ! African ledge , lomalns un
broken and uul'np.ilred fully sustained nnd

dents. From this spurco wo hud our bolng

wont to Grand Islaiul on Wodno.sdoy last ,
about ona hundred strong , where they held a
session In the town hull nnd operated on
tlilrty-sU victims , residents of Grand Inland
and vicinity. To proceed with thu noitoo
would bo to tread on dangerous ground , us
the ritual was entirely revised ut the lust
session of the Imperial council and n nmv
pathway to Mecca hns boon discovered. The
time-worn reference * to the burning sands
nnd nil the other terms In the vocabulary of
this department'havo become obsolete , aud
whether the stuff thnt cheers the weary trav
eler U to bo c.tllud 70111-zom hurtmfior , or
whether the weary pilgrim will tread the
burning sands as before or ride across the
desert on a cake of Ice , Is now an Impenetra
ble mystery except to a faithful few.
The Shrlnrrs of Now York are planning

I O. Q. If.
Ono of the Important problem * before the
ncxtscssloa Of the sovereign gmnd lodga
will bo the question of admitting to member
ship persons of 18 years of ago. 1'bo soutl-
incut lu the .several 'Jurisdictions seems to bo
thnt this question should In1 submitted to the
subordinate lodges fern direct vote , snys the
Cblcaco Times , nnd it would bo tbo proper
thing If the crnud ledge of each stnto would
Instruct It * representatives In the .sovereign
grnnd lodge to offer nnd to advocate n resolu
tion in that body ut lu coming session , ns n
substitute to the question already be
fore it , to ask or direct that each
state Jurisdiction submit the question to
each ledge and request It to take n vote upon
It after proper notice to the members uii'l 10-
port the result of thnt vote to the respective
grnnd soorotnrlos , they to report the result
to Grand Secretary Uoss In tlmo for the next
annual session. Tli.it vote would dcclda the
question In a very satisfactory manner and
no ono would have reason to complain If the
result was not to his liking. A change In the
organic law of this Importance ought to bo
passed upon by the order at largo nnd each
Individual mcmbiir should hnvu a direct voice
In Its decision.
With ninny who are not very familiar with
the history of American Odd Fellowship ,
there has been a disposition to confound tno
Manchester Unity with the Independent
Order In this country , and when tbo great
cantonment was held In Chicago last year , It
wns the custom of these who worked the
press to glvo it out Ihnt Odd Fellowship bnd
1,4H,0K ( ) ( ) members , thus including tbo Ancient
Order of Odd Fellows nnd the Mnnchostor
Unity , with which the Independent Order has
no more connection than it has with Pythian-
Ism. It now nppoars that there Is a movement
on foot to provide for an oxchangb of vlsts
nmong these orders and for aiding brothers
In distress. This is n good scheme , nnd
might bo matte to work well not only ninoug
these orders , but nmong ether kindred or-
rdcrs. The only dlfllcully thnt stands in
the xvay Is that of providing n mutual sys
tem of rccognlton. It will bo dlfllcult to do
this unless thu lodges of Ibo various orders
seeking fraternal Intercourse could got to
gether nnd oUnbllsh n degree which would
bo nlike in ull bdlcs , nnd by which members
of kindred but different orders might bo nblo
to rocognlzo each ether for purposes of mu
tual aid nnd relief.
The i-.lks.
Omnhn lodgo. No. : il > , hns decided to hold n
clnm-bnko nt Pries' Inko tomorrow , The
ledge held ono of these affairs lust year , which
was in the uuturo of an experiment , but it
proved to oo such n howling success that it
was decided to repent the oxporlonco. The
affair Is in the hands of n committee com
posed of Messrs. F. P. Gridloy. O. P. Cronk
nnd P. II. Pnlloin , and the services of n pro
fessional caterer have been secured.
Those who attended the event last year
need no incentive to induce them to sacrifice
everything to attend this one , and ttioso who
miss it will miss the bust pirt of life.
The party will lonvc the Elks club rooms at
1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon lu tally-ho
coaches and will return about midnight.
