of the American association , and half a hun

They found the association in good finan

the treasury. It wus voted to recommend
that the now Chicago club bo admitted to
membership.
Protests against the fine of $ , " > 0 Inflicted on
Umpire Kurlns for Indecent language ut
Washington when his decision giving tbo
Wushingtons the gumo against Baltimore by
0 to 0was protested , and Umpire MoLaugh-
lln's decision giving the Boston-St. Louis
gumo of September 12 to St. Louis by the
same score , was then considered. Both de
cisions were sustained.
I'rcsiueni. I'noips presented his annual
report , during the course of which ho com
mented harshly upon the suspicion attached
to the closing games in the league contest
and congratulated the association on the
freedom from such suspicion. Ho said that
tno broach between the league and assosla-
tion had bullied all efforts to bridge it over ,
and expressed a conviction that the leairuu
will agree to no settlement unless assured of
the best of it.
At a meeting this morning the local asso
ciation club organized as follows : Cieorgo
II. Williams , president ; G. H. Hiclioy , vice
president und treasurer , nnd Sum Morton ,
secretary ; directors , Messrs. Williams and
Hlchoy , C. H. Rollins , W. L. Ooggin and H.
A. Yarnell ; maimgor , Fred Pfoflor.
At the general meeting of the association
the business transacted was the admission of
Chicago , the adoption of President Pholps1
report und the hearing of applications from
several clubs for admission to the associa
tion. All the applications were deferred
with small hope of being llnally granted , un
less the circuit should bo enlarged to twelve
ciubs. The matter of dropping of Colum
bus or Mllwauueo will come up tomorrow.
The main result of the meeting thus far is
that Chicago is at last represented in the
American Association of Base Ball Clubs.
Whether much opposition developed when
the question came up is one of the secrets of
the association , but from what leaked out un
awares it seems that there was some , not n
strange tliiig when It is considered that Co
lumbus and Milwaukee could sou in it an ele
ment of danger to themselves.
The grounds of the Chicago club will bo
within cloven minutes' ride of the Polk
street depot , but just where will not bo told
before next Tuesday. Who the players will
be Is yet n matter for prophets , as nothing
ofllclal has been given out.

Never were tlirco hours moro dcllghtfull }
spoilt than tho. o passed last evening by
these who uccoptoil the invltutloii to partlcl
nato In thu reception and banquet tonitorot
Daniel Dougherty , osq. , at the Mlllnrd.
It was something of an Informal affair
potion up to a certain oxtunt on the spur o
the moment , but for kcon enjoyment , gen
uine good fellowship and the rnro treat that
It afforded , It lius scon few If any equals ti
Omnlm In many a day.
Its object was to glvo the citi
zens of the Oato City nn opportunltj
to meet Now York's ' great lawyer am
famous or.itor , und to servo ns an Introduc
tion as well to the lecture to ho delivered by
thn distinguished gentleman this availing at
the Irand. ! Moat felicitously were these re
sults attained.
An hour was pleasantly passed In the hotel
parlors , - mid shortly nftor It o'clock
the honored gii'st and Major .1. B.
Furav led the way to the dining hull.
The spacious room was attractively gur-
nislieu and presented a pleasing sight as the
gumts toolc their places about the great
T-shaped table.
Toast master Furay and Mr. Dougherty
occupied seats at the head , with Senator
Mandorsou and Mayor Gushing respectively
upon their right and left.
Senator Ainu lor.son'M Welcome.
A toothsome menu was discussed at length ,
and when Its attractions were exhausted the
toastmastor's eyes twinulcd morrilv over his
glasses as ho gracefully called upon Senator
Mamterson to express the welcome that the
city extended to the honored guest. He said
that it was eminently fitting that this should
be the ease , as both the gentlemen were
born in the same great City of Urothorlv
hove , Philadelphia ,
Senator Mandorsou regretted that the table
was so largo that so many had been deprived
of the pleasure enjoyed by the tonstiunstor
and himself since entering the room tnat of
enjoying tno delightful conversation of
the honored guest , and felt Inclined
to give away sotuo of its secrets ,
llo had tried to fltid out the object of the oc
casion , but Mr. Dougherty ban said ho was at
u loss to understand why ho was selected for
such a distinguished honor. The gallant
major hnd insisted that ho was worthy of it ,
and the citizens of Omaha wished to show
their appreciation , hut the guest protested
that such an explanation was slightly
dlnphnnous.and the major then confessed that
ho always availed himself of an opportunity
to got the citizens of Umuhn around a ban
quet table , and it , was also intended to adver
tise the fenst of the following night. The
senator said that this was Mr. Dougherty's
lirst visit to Nnbraskn , thn llrst time that
ho had crossed the Missouri river ,
in fact the first time that ho had boon west
of Chicago. Ho wished to state that the
honored guest was plain Daniel Dougherty ,
osq. , the sulllx being solely the result of his
being a lawyer. lie had no other handles to
his name. He had never neld on olllce , and
bpro the distinguished Honor in his day of
high titles of being a private citizen.
It was a nnmn that had hnnn frnnnnntlv mnn.
tlonod for high places , but its owner had
never seen lit to accept. The speaker re
ferred to the thirty years that the guest of
the evening had been a mum her of the bar in
Vhiladelphi-i , the city of his birth. Ho was
not born in that land of orators , old Ireland ,
but ho was born of the sod , uud whatever of
tha poetic or of oratory was in his veins came
from the fact that his father was uorn on the
' ould arth. "
The senator told of the condition of things
when ho came to fiobruskn twenty-two years
igo , when the entire population of the "state
numbered but 120,000 , where there are now
1,200,000 souls , and spoke of his recent
trlii to the Black Hills and their
wonderful resources. Ho told of
; ho tin mines , exceeding in wealth
these of Cornwall , and was sure that in a
very short time they could oo made to fur
nish all the block tin that would be needed
in this country. Ho also referred to the im
mense crop that is behind Omaha , of which
; ho metropolis is bound to receive
.ho benefit , and in conclusion assured
; ho guest of the evening that
Dmaua's citizens wcro glad to have
lim here , and trusted that a's he know them
jcttor the better ho would like them.
Response to "Our ( Jiicsl. ' "

Judge Wakoloy was called upon as n rep
resentative of the bench. Ho said that ho
was suffering from a sore throat and was not
in condition to tiilk. Ho thought that tha
subject was ono on which n great deal
might be said and that it had'so hap
pened that both himself and Judge
Doane , who was present , had for several
years como In contact with the bench , but
Just at this time the people of this Judicial
district have moro to soy about the bench
than they havu.
"Wo are about In the condition of Bret

were discussing specimens and events of
the palivo/.oio ago , when a potrillcd
skull hit him on the head.
And , as the poet expressed It , subsequent
proceedings Interested him no more. "
Judge Doano coincided In Judge Walcoloy's
views , but was called upon for a further
speech. Ho was about to decline , when the
electric lights wont out for a second. Ho
protested that ho had put them out , and al
though they brightened again Instantly , ho
persisted in being excused.
How to AIuico 11 I'ajier I'ny.
Mr. G. M. Hitchcock w.is called uivm to
speak in response to "Tho Press. " Ilo said
that a few years in the ncwspipor business
had taught him that the success of a news
paper was not the result of natural advan
tages , remarkable ability or unlimited means ,
but of the same things that had
made Omaha hard nnd incessant toil.
Omaha's property was not the result ot nat
ural advantages nor her site , as there wcro a
hundred just as good ones within 100 miles ,
but it was due to mon who had worked as u
newspaper man has to work , day and night ,
intelligently and without ceasing. If ho laid
learned any secrets In his fowj years' experi
ence ho would bo foolisn to divulge them now.
Ho wanted to suggest to the truest of the
evening ono thing to keep his eye on
Omaha.
On Amcrlu .ii Citizenship.
Hon. W. .1. Brvan also responded to n call.
and paid mi eloquent tribute to the guest of
the evening. Ho thought it much bolter
that people should wonder why Mr. Dough
erty had no title than that tnoy should
wonder why ho had , as is the
case with many public meu of today.
Ho had ono title greater than that ol any
foreign potentate and ono that nothing could
bo taken from , that of American citizen. Ho
denied that the ace of oratory had naasod ,
and maintained that the man who had some
thing to say and believed what ho said could
always llnd an audience.
Ben. S. Baker expressed his pleasure in
tiearimr the honored ctiost and tlio other
speakers , and surprise that Omaha had
so much oratory. He said a good word for
the lawyers , particularly these of Omaha ,
who , ho declared , if transplanted to greater
cities , would stand stand with few or any
peers.
Major Clarkson said ho was profoundly
Honored by being normittod to bo present ,
md said lie would avail himself of an
other opportunity tomorrow night.
The toastmaster Intimated that it was time
some of the boys wcro in bed , and nslted Mr.
Dougherty to say a few words to bind the
friendship so auspiciously bocnn.
31 r. Doii htM ly'.s ( looll Niglit.
The delightful orator said : "Indeed , citi
zens of Omaha , I am overwhelmed with
thesn evidences of your rosrard for uio. I
came here with fear and trembling , as there
were only two faces hero that I hnd seen bo
rons those of Mr. Crniphton and Senator
Mandorson. I have been charmed indeed
with what I have hoard. I feel that there is
something moro than material prosperity
ioro and that you have men who have risen
M great heights by their own ability. What
loner is it to bo dropped on fortune's hill
the lion or Is to mount it. "
Ho recited In conclusion Tom Mooro's
sweet poem , and as his dulcet tones ex-
irossed'tho closing lines , "You may break ,
iOU may shatter tno vase if you will , but the
scout of the roses romalnoih thorn still , " the
rcat was at an end , and the bauquottors

In Si. I'liilomnim'M Cathedral.
Yesterday morning the sexton of St.
Millamona's cathedral found that both the
leer boxes bad been broken open and robbod.
'ntering the vestibule to the cathedral , ho
liscoverod that the holy water font , which
iid : been riveted to the flooor , hud been
overturned nnd the water which hud lain in
hu uasla spilled upon the lloor. Behind the
out was n small wrought iron box in which
md been deposited a few I'otor's pcnco. The
leer of this box was badly buttered but the
ock had not been spruni : . In ono of the poor
> exes there hail been , I lie night before the
burglary , 10 and In the other 1H cents.
Having foiled on the floor boxes , the
lurglars attacked the tabcrimclo , on the
\ltar. The exterior of this part of the iiltar ,
ike tbo rest of the structure is of Ciirarn
narblo. It Is richly carved and has linen con-
Idcrcd a work of art. It was carved In
taly and was the gift of the late Mr. uud
drs. Edward Crolghtoii. There are two
doors to the tabernacle. The outer Is of
vrought Iron with religious emblems
asbtoncd upon It. This opens by simply
urning a s mull lover. The innordoorls part
f a burglar proof safe which ro U within
ho marble covering. Against it wus directed
jimmy , the marks of which uro plainly vis-
bio. Yesterday morning , on the altar
able , was lound a piece ot Colo-
ado sandstone 'vholghlng perhaps
Iftv pounds. It was a clumsy
rtlclo to use as a slougo hammer nnd the ej
ect of Its blows arc apparent upon the imir-
lo columns und arch which nro so badly
hipped ns to require replacement.
