how popular senti
ment ( -ocs up nod
down ) Now , Just
before yesterday's
g n m o thcro were
played on Omaha's
grounds three as
line contcsls as ever
delighted the heart
of m&n , and yet the crowds wont away kick-
Ine. Why , forsooth I Bccauso Omaha losU
May be. Well , ycstorday'a came was as full
of blunders as n doc Is of Ileus , some of the
blunders aforesaid being vlto beyond descrip-
lion. Yet the volco of the cr.mk was raised
in gladness , and his Joyous yelp rent the
warm air lu nuny placos. Why I Omaha
won.
won.Thus do you sco how ready oven the son-
Uo , ( 'ullcle.ss base ball fanalio Is lo make
merry at bis fcllowman's downfall.
It is perfectly plain to Omaha now. Sotno
pcoplo had wondered why Indianapolis
couldn't win n Ramo. Nobody who saw
yesterday's game will do so any longer.
There Is no tiso , however , in wasting spiico
IxpIainitiK this. Uo out this afternoon and
aoo for yourself.
When smiling Jack McQuald tossed Iho
ball down to young Mr. Madden of Indianap
olis and ho lotsod It back so that Shcibeck
fouled out to Carpenter and Ollks popped up
ono to Madden and IColly to Lawrnnco , it np-
pcarod as though wo "wore to have a ball
game nuro enough. Vickory tossed out Mc
Quald , Camp dropped Moara's Uy after n
hard run , Lotchor sent a pop-up to Sheibeck
and Moara stele second. Only ho didn't. In
order to show that nil signs fail in a ball
game , Eddie Hnyos throw down as prettily
as any ono ever did , and Shcibock put it ou
Mcarn no hard ho know it was out without
bcinq told.
In tlio second , after Collopy hit to Carpen
ter , lave Howe hit out n double and Camn
won n house and lot , a sot of bed room fur-
nlluro , a lickot to the World's fair and a
package of cigaroltcs by Knocking Iho ball
over the right Hold fence. The first homo
run of the season awakened the crowd to
such n pitch of enthusiasm that , no ono
kicked wtion Fitzgerald Hied out to McQuaid
and Vickcry struck out. l ° or the Hoosicrs
O'Brien hit a double , Quinn struck out , Her
per sacrificed nnd Lawrence lammed out n
ulco triple. Then Carpenter struck out.
From this time on'baso hits und errors
wera tangled up with runs In n bawlldorlng
jumblo. Out of the darkness two facts . hlno
Victory's Patting and Hayes's throwing to
second. Only two men triad to steal , and
both died. You'd have laughed yourself sick
it you had seen Vickcry stoat homo from
third nftcrhomadoathroo-basohit.orto have
icon Camp RO all Iho way round in tbo eighth
on a hit lhat didn't go out of the diamond ,
or to have seen tbroo man sknto homo on a
Ilttlo sbon slnglo to center , or to have soon
Old Hickory Ci.rpoulcr lope Homo from third
while Hayes waited for Him with the ball , or
to have scon Shcibeck drop that lly in the
ninth , or lo have scon Lawrence try to field
with liik feet , or to have soon Mcarn throw
tbo ball into tbo grand stand under tto im
pression that it was Hickory , or in fact lo
hnvo soon nny ono of the phenomenally bad
breaks made.
You'll inobably laugh whoa you road the
scoro. If you go out this afternoon you'll
bavo moro fun than a minstrel show. A

assisted by numerous errors by the iJrowers.
Kverjr ono who saw the gaiuu agrees that

Besides the umpire's rankness the baiting of

approved the concurrent resolution Instruct
ing the park commission to close up the
deals , In transmitting his npproval to the
council ho sulil :
" 1 linvo approved nnd return herewith
concurrent resolution No. 71 , relating to the
purchase by the cltv of Omnlui of lands for
imrlt purposes. I also transmit herewith the
opinion ot thu city attorney , showing timt
special bonclU.1 cannot bo assessed against
property where lands nro acquired for parks
by purchase , instead of by condemnation.
"I hail intended bi'foro receiving this opin
ion , to return the resolution with a recom
mendation that It bo so chinned as to avoid
the payment of the whole cost of the lands
from thu proceeds of the pnrk bonds.
"Our city charter acorns to bo very defective -
ivo In many respects. 1 cnn see no good rea
son why the city should bo permitted to
assess uonellts against a ploco of property
abutting upon another piece of property
which has been wrosteii from its owner uy
coudcmnitlcn , nnd should not bo permitted
to nssoss benefits if the same ploco tind bson
acquired by purchase. A IHW so defective
should mo f certainlv bo changed at the next
session of tbo state legislature.
" 1 look upon the right of eminent domain
as u power granted to bo used only in emer
gency , and that It never should be resorted
to unless the parties cannot nprroo. The exercise -
erciso of this power in the acquirement of
continuous boulevards , additions to existing
parks , etc. , will undoubtedly bo found of
proal value to the city , as it will prevent nny
Individual from standing In the way of im
portant public improvements ,
Kcliitlviiiilui ! nl' thu Property.
"I am of the opinion that a satisfactory
test of the relative vnluo of the proportion
In question has been made since the
lands were recommended for purchase
almost ono year ago ; nnd even
if condemnation was dostrablo 1
have grave doubts whether nny appraise
ment nt lower figures would bo maintained
in the courts , as In the absence of offers of
other lands at hotter prices , in answer to
advertisements made , nnd In view of the
fact that the prices havu been acted upon by
a unanimous vote of tha park board and a
two thirds vote of your Honorable body , the
evidence as to the value would bo as nearly
conclusive as .any theoretical or expert ovl-
dcnco usually is. Long experience In the
real estate business has convinced mo that
the value of real estate is not a fixed quan
tity , and that opinions of experts concerning
nny given ploco of property usually varies
greatly. . - , ,
"It scorns UititaTthal the chances are much
in favor of a higher than a lower upprniso-
mont , as somo.of the property has been pur
chased nt prlcps inuch'bolow that of adjacent
property , and the conditions In Omaha at
present nro such that n material advance in
prices may occur in the near future.
"If either condemnation was resorted to ,
or wo should baVH waited for n change in re-
Bard to the assessment of benefits , there
would have been no assurance that tnc ultl-
matn not cojt to the city would not bo more ,
rather than less , and the acquirement of the
parks ( which tlip people voted for nlno to
ono ) would navb'Seon postponed moro than
ono year. "

THE WHALEMAN'S TERKOH.
l02hn ( 'limit * U. f.dfln.
Between the years 1840 nnd I8o9 tlio
wlmlinjj vessels of such nations nw pur
sued the Icvintioti of tlio deep for his
commercial vnluo encountered no less
thiui live whnlus who buuiimo ( unions as
terrors of tlio sea. "They were "Moulm
Dick , " "Spotted Tom , " "Shy Jack , "
" Jim" nnd " "
"Utrly "Kightingr Joe.
These names were , of course , gtvon
them by the sailors , hut they cuno ; to
be known by wlmlors of till nations. You
may think it curious that one whnlo
could oo identified from another of tlio
siiina Hixo and species , hut it was no
more dillicult than to identify u narlicii-
lar lioie in u drove of several hundred.
In oilier words , each loviallian hns some
peculiar murk or i.-hiiractoristii : of his
own , and if sighted two or three times
cnn bo idontilied forever afterward.
"Mocha Dick" headed the list of ter
rors from tlio start and leapt his place
for iiinuteon long yours. No whale was
so lierooly hunted , and none ever cre
ated so iiiui'h duinngu among the hun
ters. What I am going to toll you is
partly u matter of public record in Hag-
land , Scotland and Ampricn , and was
partly gloanud from Kantuckot anil
Now Hedford whalers who battled with
the cacholot time nftor time , to suffer
defeat on each occasion.
On the fith day of July , 1840 , the
Hnglish whaling brig Desmond , being
215 miles duo west o ( the port of Val
paraiso , Chili , sighted u lone whale
which broached liis full length ahovo
the surface about two miles away. The
bouts were lowered,1 but before they
were within half u railo of the whale
ho .slowed around head on ) to them and
advanced to moot them. Ho .struck ono
bout vv.iili his liead and drove her under
Kt ° , rn lji > l and then chuweU her up. Ho
then Bounded nnd was lost lo sight for
tlfteen inlnutus. Whun ho ciimn up it
was to lift the other boat thirty feet
high on hib head , and of coun > o sbo was
completely bhattiTcd. Oars and planks
were ground line by his tcoth as ho tvnl-
lowed anout , and two inun were drowned
before the whnlo wont slowly oT ! to the
north. This was "Mocha Dick's" intro
duction to the bliibbor liuntors. Ho was
the largest whale any one aboard the
brig had ever seen , and IUT'OSH his head
was a scar about eight feet long , which
showed almost whitu on Iho gray-black
background. It was by this scar ho was
over afterward Idcntilicd.
The next craft to encounter "Mocha
Dick" was Iho Russian bark S\ropln. :
Thi.i was on tho.'KHh of August , almost
two mouths later , and she was fully AIM I
inMcs to the south of the spot where lo :
was llrst been. She lowered I wo I.-OIUK
( or n lone whale and killed him. 'J la
bark was thrcu miles aw.iy , nnd boating
down to tliu vvlialo under iv liirnt brcozn.
when ' 'Moctm Dick" stiddonly shot out
of the wntor between the vessel and the
boats. Such wan his impetus tlmt
nearly his full length could be traced
bcoro ( ho ( oil with u crash which could
have boon hoard for mlloa around. As
soon as ho hud righted himself hu made
straight ( or the boats. One of thorn
pnoscd around the dcnd whnlo before ho
got tip , but the other was caught by the
Hweon o ( his Juvv us ho cnmo on and
ktioi'k'-d to pieces , lie then took up
his poMtlon bosldo the dead whale and
malncd quiet lor half an hour , during
which Interval the othur boat pulled oil
to the bark.
Three men hnd boon lost nnd a fourth
hud both arms broken , while the sailors
hnd been given such a fright that tliov
could not bo induced to ntlnck. The
vessel hung about the spot ( or three
hours , hoping the llorco luviuthan would
bike himself off , but Dually hnd to sail
away and leave him in pi > * 4i > sUii. ) The
dead whale was taken possi'sslou of two
dnys later by the whaling ship. John
liruco of NanUidiet , but it was no longer
guarded.
The next authentic record ot "Mocha ,
Dick" was furnlshoil by the Hrlslol
whaler John Day , in May of the year
following. She was then to the cast of
the Falkland islands , and was trying out ,
blubber ns she drifted with a light
broezo. A - o'clock in the afternoon a
( jiiraiillc whale breached within HIM ) feet
of her , shooting Ills full length out of
water , and rnlsing such a sea by Ills full
lhat. tlio ship ro'.led as if tr , a gale. The
whale then swam slowly about , nuu as j
soon as tlio men caught sight of I
his head they identified him as I
'Mochn Dick. " His ailions were menacing - I
acing , but the captain aloncu decided to
attack him. Three boat- * wore lowered ,
tihil us thu whale made otT to wlndwa il
the llrst mntu put a harpoon Into him.
This was the lirst Iron "Mocha Dick" !
had over full. Ho sounded at once nnd !
ran for three miles , and when ho came i
up it was to slue around and head for
Iho boat. Ills action was so unexpected .
and liis speed so grout , that ho caught
the boat unprepared and ran right over
it.
As it went under ho stopped short and
turned as on a pivot , beating the water
all the tune with llukos which measured
Uvonly-four feet across. Nothing was
left of the boat but splinters , and two of
her crew were killed or drowned. The
olhor two boats advanced to the ntlnck ,
but before they were near enough to
dart , the whale settled nwayllko a lump
of lend. One of the boats got hold of the
lloating Hue , but had scarcely secured it
when the tricky lighter came up under
the other and setu il skyward with the
bottom knocked out. Ho then pivoted
and Ihrnshed the .surface as boforo. and
another inun was lost and two others se
verely injured.
Tlio crow had had enough of "Mocha
Dick , " and while ho hauled olT and lay
wailing for another utlaelc llie remain
ing boal wiu hauled up and tlio ship
sneaked away. The English captain hnd
vowed lhat if ho over encountered that
whnlo ho would kill him or lose his
wliolo outfit of men and boats , but an
hour's lighting satistied him tlmt ho had
undertaken too big a job.
The particulars of tliu several encoun
ters recorded above worn soon known to
all whalers. Some captains decided to
lot "Mocha Dick" severely alone , while j
others were ambitious to secure the j ;
credit of killing him. Howpvor , ho dis
appeared after tlio tight with tlio John !
Day and was not seen again for seven- !
Icon months. It had eomo to bo generally - '
ly believed that ho had died of old ago
or killed in a light with another whule ,
when ho suddenly turned up in the 1'a-
cilic ocean olT the oust coast of Japan. j 1
Hero occurred the battle of his life.
A coasting craft hnd boon blown olT thu
const by aTheavy uiilo and was making
her wav back. Jt was about an hour
afler daylight when a big whnlo was
seen to broach about two miles away. It
was passed ever as a trilling incident ,
but ton or fifteen minutes later the
lovlnthiun was discovered rushing down
in Iho wake of the craft with all the
steam ho could put on. Ho was so close
aboard aud the sight of him throw tlio
natives into such a terror that no olTort
was made to escape him. Ho struck tlio
craft on her stern and wrecked her in an
instant , and pieces of the wreckage were
carried away in his jaws as ho swerved
to port nnd swam slowly away. As the
cargo of tlio coaster was of lumber , the
men soon Knocked together a raft. Tlio
craft did not go down , but sank until her
decks were awash , mid the men had not
yofput olT on their raft , when three
whaling vessels appealed in sight all at
onco. These proved to bo the Glasgow
whaler ( JrielT , tlio Now Bedford whaler
Yankee nnd the English whaler Dud
ley.All
All had hoard of "Mochn Dick , " but
nil thought him dead. By 8 o'clock the
three whalers were up and had heard
the story , but "Mocha Dick" hud disap
peared 'tin hour before. It was agreed
to separate and search for him , and Hint
if lie wore found all tiireo ships should
take part in the attack and share in the
credit ol ridding the deep of such a ter
ror. They did not have to hunt for the
fellow , however. While the captains
were planning ho suddenly showed u-p
nbout u milo to windward. After his
usual fashion lie came to the surface
under such headway that ho seemed to
stand upright on iho liu of his lluUes before
fore lie felt over on his side with a crash
like thor full of n great building. Ho
wallowed apout for n time , and then
slued around head to the whnlora and
rcinninod perfectly quiet. Ho seemed to
bo asking what they were going to do
nbout it , and the query was answered by
thu ( nil of n boat from onch vessel ,
Tliuso had only pulled away when
three moro were lowered to supoort
them , hots hnd bi cn cast as to which
boat should have the llrst show , and iho
honor had fallen to the YnnUne. llur
bout took a circuit to uppro.tch the
whale from behind , while the other two
lay on their oars to wail. ' Tun whnlo
seemed for a time lo be nslcep. but nil ol
a sudden soltlcd away M > quirk thnt
every one was dumbfounded. Ho was
about to try his oM dodgoof coming up
under a boat , .and each omuf them
w.i.s pulled away fif i Iho spot un.l , i
sharp watch ke-ii ? oi rlgus of his
broaching.
It was twenty iiii'iutes bofc i'o "Mochiv
Dick 'showed upt oin. lie had h-ipc.l
I to catch a boat , bi.t nil wo.'o too lively
' for him , and while lo : lay w.iHowlug iii
the seas his f.tll had civ.ii < d the nr tot
the Yankee pit : a liirixma into h ni.
The old lighter humped up as t.hn iroi
went in , and for live minutes scenio I to
j have been struck dund. The i ho m idea
a rush for the Scoli-lim ni's bvit , ran
right over H , and slued about , fo.- the
Knglishiimn. it was pulling nw.iy from
him when bo nMu' < l again , caught it
with u 8-ving of liis long undo.j j nv ,
and the unl < K > oko's : behulil a spjetti'le
none of them ever forgot. Tlui
whnlo lifted his grout head c ear out nl
water with the boat in liisnio lib , nn I a1 ,
ono 1'ito mnde mutehword of it and pulp
of two of the crow who had b.-ou un.thio
to tumble ; out. The crews of the two
boats were now lloating on the o.ir.uul <
the \\linle pivoted and lahi'd tlio * eu
with his ( hikes to destroy them. In tlim
manner he id Hod two niun , but OIM uf
the reserve boa Is came tip in gallant
style and rescued the others.
Tile Van lee's boat was Uio only one
fitbt to tlio whale , and after vainly lV.in .
to sob.u or smash It , "Mocha Dick V.i i-
den'y ' started for thu wreck ot the
coaslor , which was lloating two miles
away. Ho made a straight course , and
the three captains were agreed that It.a
speed , when fairly under way , was not
less than thirty miles nn hour. As ho
struck the wreck ho hero il down , and it
rose behind him bottom side up. To
prevent a collision the boat had to cut
her line , and the whale soon sounded
and was lost to sight. The boat started
back , but had not yet reached
the ships , when the lighting
leviathan broached under the bows
of the Scotchman and carried aw.iy
jibboom and bowsprit with Mnush.
Ho had planned to coniO' up under she
ship , but had missed il. As bo fell upon
his side and rolled over on an even Iced ,
si ) to speak , ho made a rush for the Yan
kee's boat. He was so close on thai all
the crow went overboard , and he picked
thb lighl craft up and chewed it ns a
horse does his oats.
Had it been calm "Mocha Dick"
might have sunk the licet. Luckily the
breeze kept growing stronger , and as
soon as tlio men from the Yankee's boat
could bo picked up the Ihreo crafts set
ball and beat , an inglorious retreat , leav
ing tlio whale hunting about for more
victims. From lirst to last "Mocha
Dick" had nineteen harpoons put into
him. Ho stove fourteen boats f'lid cnused
the death of ever thirty mer ; . IIo stove
three whaling vcfsols so badly that they
were nearly lost , and ho attacked and
Html ; a French merchantman nnd an
Austinliun trader. IIo was encountered
in every ocean and on every known feed
ing ground. Ho was killed olT the
Bra/.ilian banks in August , 165 ! ) , by a
Swedish whaler , which gathered him in
with scarcely any trouble , but it hns al
ways been believed that poor old "Mocha
Dick" was dying of old asro. He meas
ured 110 feet long ; his girth was ( i feet ;
his jaw was 2o feet 0 inches long. Kight
of his teolh were broken olT and all the
others badly worn down. Ills big hea-1
was n mass "of scars , and ho had n ppur-
onily lost the sight of his right eye.
