among the memories
of dolce far ntontn
'neath the ceru
lean vault which
poets have sung for
ages Is a face
swarthy , sinister ,
determined. It may
have bolon gcd to ono
of tlin banditti who
B w n r m o d over
Italy's soil , but the
chances are it was
owned by n maca
roni maker.
_ The simple Ideas
that wore inspired in primitive times by the
contemplation of the spectacle of Count
Campau pushing a banana cart through the
streets of Genoa have boon transformed , If
not completely overthrown , by his coaching
performances on the ball field In thoJo
modern times.
In this day nnd ago the fans have scarcely
over hoard there existed such a man as tbo
Count , and only recall the name as figuttnp
in some old poem , pervaded with a mytho
logical perfume , and out of print those many ,
many years , and they didn't know what to
make of him. Buttho old men in the audience
remembered well the venerable banana ven
der , and as ho plrouottod about ever the bud-
dmgd andollons In his llondlsh Ituhau glee ,
their minds were led back to anclont times ,
mid open-eyed they gazed upon him as ono
resurrected und infused with now body nnd
new life.
Is It any wonder , then , wo lost the game ,
when compelled to buc * up against such a
mouldy and antiquated curio as the Count }
So much for history.
This afternoon the battle is to bo renewed ,
and as Pro idont Jimmy Adolphus Williams
has sent forth his pronunclamento to umpires
thnt.boistorous coaching must quit , wo call
Mister Snydcr's attention to two men In the
Uuckoyo aggregation the Count and Roddy
O'ttourko. '
They must both bo sat on , and sat on hard ,
the Count for making too much noise and
Roddy for not making any.
Sumo KcntnroHor tlio Fray ,
It' xvas really painful to look on nnd see
this Inflammatory haired Bulgarian got upon
the lino's and attempt to coach.
Roddy took a severe cold ouo night last
summer up in Duluth by falling off the side
walk into Lake Superior andholosthis volco.
It foil down In his chest somewhere and ho
has never been able to roonver it.
You probably noticed what a deep chest ho
has.
has.It
> It was a lovely afternoon for a ball game ,
notwithstanding tuo bracing bruozo from the
north , nnd being ladles' dav. of course a
handsome crowd was on hand to see Omaha ,
llko Vesuvius swallowed up Horoulanoum
and Pompeii , gulp down Columbus , Oho ,
And tlicy.-c.Tino pretty nearly doing it too.
Tbo only thin ? that prevented was that the
' Rustlers were a llltlo Shy at short , and
Vickoryv was too oleemosyuury , that Is ho
came pretty near never giving away everything -
. thing ha hud.
"T "Nino great big fat bases on balls , and another -
. other by u smash with the bull , was tha extent -
tent of bis prodigal generosity.
If Sir Thomas had only been close and
covetous , und cool und calculating and mer
cenary , llko his compeer on the other side ,
GUS SchmeU would have boon Jingling nlna
goose ogirs in his pookuts , instead of bulging
, thoui out with luurel leaves.
Oniiiha'H Only linns.
In the second the Rustlers started In to do
tuo Vesuvius act , Unnlo David rapped out n
safe ona down botwonn nacond und first and
Walsh allowed Louis Napoleon's duplicate
to got through tils legs.
Schmolz nulled his rnzbltans and glared
with cannibalistic eyes at the noisy grand
stand ,
Rutherford B. made a bravo sacrifice from
plt < ; h to first und the two runners hunched
up a notch.
Then Fitzsimmons faced Lucion. I call
him Fitzslmuions bocauno ho hit so hard. It
was a rattling throc-cuabion jab way out over
Lally Lily's head and Undo Dave and the il
lustrious Frenchman ran homo.
"Hey ! hovl boy I" That-was the muslo
that walled up from grand stand and
bleacher , nnd Fitz stood up on third and
pushed out his cliost llko a knight of old.
Vlckery was switched off nt llrst , Walsh
making a brilliant pickup and grand throw ,
but Shy hit safe and Fitz scored.
Thou tha Rustlers quit and for good , lack-
Rday.
Gllks struck out ,
Vltiltiiry'n Wonderful Throw ,
In their half of the fifth the Bucks made
their llrst run , and that , too , after two men
had struck out In quiclt succession , Morrltt
nud Slovens.
Sholbeck made nn error big enough to walk
on Its hands Walsh's easy drive going
throuch him. Vick , to vary the form of his
free distribution , plugged the Bulgarian in
the ribs with tbo bull , then In coucbrt ho and
Walsh stele a base.
Vlck was plainly perturbed , and ho could
bo soon lecturing himself.
Ho kept tils visual organs unvollod , how
ever , and by as pretty a trick as was ever
soon ho caught VVulsh napping nt third.
Both runners were loading off , and Vlck pro-
'tendod to bo laying for Roddy , but instead
ho hail it In for Joslo all the sumo. Ho
turned nnd made a snvago bluff at throwing
down to second , but kept right .on turning ,
and cut loose to Collopy. Joe had taken the
bait ana .started In name and was fairly
caught , that Is ho might huvo been sad
words tlicso. ore.
Instead of throwing the ball Into Collopy's
outstretched palms , ho just missed an Eng
lish sparrow perched on the eaves nf the
grandstand. Walsh came homo and Rednor
took his plaoo on third.
Tbo Count got his basoon balU , , hutShol-
bock throw Lally out and the scora blow
over.
Again In tlio sixth Omaha ought to have
scored , but shei didn't ,
Riiwo led off * with a base on ballsonlv to
be forced at locoud by Camp. Hares'hit
safe , MtidlnK Cttinp to third. Then Hnyos
Btolo second , but Fitz fouled out , Vickorv
hit a.lbng high tty to Abbey , who got uudu'r
ItnjjoraW uUfulrun , and wrapped it In
bin .horny hand * .
' ' "

thoJc t > ute on bulls , and his error filled the
bases. Morrltt'\vont out to Bhinbock , but on
Sloven's anerlllco McClellau got In , Walsh
fouled out to Collopy.
After this it was nip and tuck up to the
ninth.
Tha Rustlers were quickly disposed ( of.
Thou n few cases of wild , wlord rattles
were opened.
Vlck gave Walsh his base as a eid ; off.
Hayes got tangled up with HedJy' thin !
ouriko , nnd fihoibeck lot the Count's vicious
rap oiicapo him , and Joe ran ever the ulattor
with the Heine run. Lally forced tha Count
out nt second , but McClellan bit safe , and
Iladay' * run won the game ,

i'iiMt ( > ni.pim. Pa. , April 27. Tno most
sensational flro in this city for years broke
out tonight on thu siao of the Grand Central -
tral theater , and * before It was gotten under
control nearly $1,000,000 worth ot properly
had been destroyed , Including the masslvo
olght-storv annex building occupied by the
Times. There was a panic in the theater
nnd nearly fifty persons , mostly occupants
of the gullorios , were hurt , none , however ,
seriously.
The Central thoatnr is located on Walnut
street , between Klghth nnd Ninth , In the
most thickly settled portion of the elty.bolng
surrounded by hotels , restaurants , boarding
houses , newspaper onicos nnd business
houses. Immediately In the roar of the thea
ter was the Times building , which foced on
Sansora street. Thu theater was usually devoted -
voted to variety performances , but this wools
a spectacular production , "Tho Devil's ' Auc-
tlou , " was on the stage ,
llurst Out In Finnic * .
Just before 8 o'clock , while the stngo hands
were lowering from the llloi a portion of the
setting for the llrst scone , it became ontnn-
clcd In the bonier lights. In nn Instant the
flimsy ca.ivas was n mass of ( lames. Tongues
of lire shot up to the roof nud blazing scenery
fell to the stage and In a short spnco of tlmo
the greater portion of the theater was n muss
of lire.
The production requires n largo number of
female ballot dancers. These stood in the
wings und along the stage In scanty attire ,
waiting for the performance to begin. They
were thrown Into a panic and ru.shcd about ,
scarcely knowing which way to turn to avoid
the quickly spreading flames. All were , it Is
believed , gotten safolv out , although there Is
a roportthat throu ballot girls are missing.
During the panic behind the scones , n
scene of oven more Intense excitement was
being onactcd before the footlights. Fortu
nately the house was only partially tilled.
The aualenco had Just settled down in their
seats awaiting ttio , beginning of the perform
ance when they were startled by the Hash
that oamo when the sccnyrv caught. The next
minute u bright whlto tlamo shot through
the curtain and the audience realized that
they were face to face with that most awful
of situations , a theater lire. Everybody
.started for the exits. ' 1 ho weaker ones wuro
norno down and crushed under foot.
Frullrlotl With Fear.
Ono individual , maddened and brutalized
by oxi'itoinont , drew n pocket knife , and
with It rut his wfy throuuh the mass of
people. Half a dozen or moro people were
found at the hospfffil who had been victims
of his frenzy , jygiic of their wounds , how
ever , were of a more'than painful character.
This mun was offd'at the llrsl to reach the
sidewalk. 1 j
Men and boys fell'bn the stairways leading
from the galleries and were bruised and
scratched under Jbq heels of those following
them. In oil fiity-two persons were cared
for at the two Hospitals near the theater.
Everybody wasc jutsldo tbo burning struc
ture within two minutes from the time the
llro started. 'J u ? >
The wildest excitement prevailed on the
streets. Ballot yirls in gnuio and tlshts
rushed barchcudcafeVpund , almost all of them
in n hysterical condition.
The lira spread iwith marvelous rapidity
and by the tlmo the tire apparatus reached
the scene the llamus , looming invny above
the top of the thcutsr was the Times -annox
building , occupied ton a the seventh floor by
the editorial forcotaull-on-tho eighth by tbo
composing O'and ' " " st6rootypiug'forces. ' . An
alarm was promptly given nnd'altt ' the occu
pants of tno building got out in safety. The
1irst , second , third < andrfourih floors were oc
cupied by Dckosenko ' & Hotlicrlnjton , art
metal workers. ThQlr plant was ono of the
most valuable of its kind In tbo country.
Crash of VailingValls. .
The wind was blowing in a"dlrection to
carrry the flames to the newspaper -building
and in u few minutes the latter structure
was on flro. By SJO : the entire interior had
been gutted. At that hour tbo west
wall and a portion of the cast wall
fell , the former crushing in a largo
portion of the ono-story power house
of tbo Philadelphia Traction company , which
contained the two immense engines which
profiled the company's street oars over the
lower section of the city. The east
wall crushed the four-story building
occupied by Hamilton & Diesinger.
manufacturers of Jewelry , und portions of
several buildings below on Eighth slreot.
The front wall filled Sansom street with
bricks and stones and damaged buildings op
posite. In tbo cellar were tlio now presses
of the Times , tbo pride of the owner , Mc-
Laughliu. They are ruined beyond repair.
Adjoining the burning theater on tbo west
was tbo Poulson house. The roof was burned
nnd the building soakoa with water.
Above the Grand Control , at Ninth nnd
Walnut , streets , stands tbo historic old Wal
nut .Slreot theater. Sidney Kosenfold's now
play , "Imagination , " is being produced this
weak and the house was well crowded.
Thcro was great danger that this house
would catch lire. The performance was ,
therefore , stopped and tbo audience qutotly
dismissed.
Colonel A. K. McClUre , editor of the Times ,
lost his valuable political library , which ho
has been collecting during the past fifty
years and which can never be replaced.

FOKEiaN NEWS SERVICE.
Kdltor John llosloky I'nhits Out Somci of
Jts Shortcomings.
OMAHA , April 2 1. To the Editor of Tnc
Jim : : To a constant linn thinking reader
It must bo 'evident that the sources of lu-
fornmttou of the Associated press nnd oven
of special correspondents are not always ro-
liaule , and that there are constant efforts
being made to create a prejudice against cer
tain people. Just note ono late Instance :
A counlo of months ago the cables informed
u . of the terrible suffering of the people of
Russia nnd that the government virtually
docs nothing to alleviate it , nnd oven pre
vents individuals ( like Tolstoi ) from minis
tering to the wants of the jufferors. But
behold no iv nils same cable brings us the in
formation that the samoKussluu government ,
which It so pOrslstoutly maligned , has spent
for the roller o' Its .subjects the enormous
sum ofJtOO.000,000 , rubles , about § 180,000,000.
H s over any government equaled that )
WhyulLlhls lying ? The Associated press
gets all of its news about Hussia through
sources unfriendly to Russia , and is used to
misrepresent all that Is going on In that
country In order to create a prejudice
acnlnsllt.
Another Instance : Three weeks ago wo
road long accounts about great riots In the
city of Prague , In Bohemia , which closed
with nu effort to rob nnd sack the Jewish
part of the town , in which attempt many
were wounded and scores arrested. Th'o
oflieial investigation of these alleged riots
showed that there was no riot at nil , but a
simple political demonstration , during which
two persons , and only two. wtu-o arrested
for disturbance of peace by loud talk , and
absolutely nobody was wounded , ncltncr was
there uuy thought of sacking any pait of the
town.
Now , when a year ago the old clty/of
Prague , mm all Bohemia , celebrated thu
centennial of the iirst exposition on the con
tinent of Enropo , which took place at Prague
In 1701 , by u great centennial exposition ,
which compared favorably with the inter
national exposition of Vienna nnd Paris
the cublo was as dumb as an oyster.
And whim this exposition closed after llvo
months with 10,000 llorins in the treasury ,
over nnd above nil expenses , without any aid
whatever from the state or government , u
feat never equalled by any exposition , the
Associated Press cable and oven yourspecial
still remained as mute DS an oyster. Thcro
is no sppco for anything creditable trom
Bohemia , but lies are peddled willingly.
Don't you think , sir , that the Associated
press should change the sources of informa
tion on Europe-ail subjects f Do you think it
right that the press of the United States
should pay for untruthful and perverled in
formation ! Does not the American press
desire that its servaut , the Press association ,
gotonly rcliublb and truthful information f
