CULLINGHAM YET CHAMPION IN SINGLES
Hut the Victor ; In tlio Double * Is Wrested
PD from tlio Holders by Young nnd
Jlenlso Kaco Truck nnd
Diamond.
I nst evening1 saw the finish of the state
tennis tournament. C. S. Culllngham still
holds iho championship In singles , but the
doubles has passed into the hands of C. II.
Young nnd Li. C. Dcnlso.
It was ten minutes after 4 yesterday
when Oullmgham and Hey Austin entered
the court for tbo sot which was to decldo
which of them would bo Nebraska'.s cham
pion for the year. Each of thorn had won
two hard fought sots when darkness inter
vened on Saturday night ; but Culllnghatn
led on games by SB to 21 , nnd on points by
147 to 133. In splto of Auslln's meritorious
achievements during the week , his chance
ngnlnst Culllnghnm had never been conceded
as anything more than the slightest'and tbo
fact that CulluiKham led substantially in
both points nnd games on the play of bntur-
dny , when ho was plainly "fapgod , " gave
everyone confidence that ho would carry off
the deciding sot. The only question was by
how much.
How the Hot Wns Wun.
Had Austin hit with the same vigor a ho
did at tbo outset of the match , or had Cul-
Ihigham'a play been ns feeble ni m the last
two sots on Saturday , this confldcnc'o would
have proved misplaced. But the champion
wns in fine fighting form , and though ho did
not put up in any sense a brilliant game ho
missed few opportunities of scoring. And
Austin bad the ground against him. His
atrongest stroke is from a low ball , or rather
ono that has fallen low uflor the bounce.
Yesterday the court was so hard after the
hot sun that when the ball loucbcd It nt all
far back , it Jumped so hlsh that to catch it
on the fall meant standing on the ton of the
bank , or at the other side of the netting.
The only thintr.to bo done was to return It
with an overhand drive , always a diflleult
stroke to make effective. And therefore so
long as Cullinghnm could kcop his chal
lenger at the back of the court ho had the
game in bis hands. Ho saw this and accord
ingly gauged his balls so thai they should
full as near tbo base line as possible without
crossing it , and Austin , knowing that his
best game is from the back , was afraid to
run up , and when ho did was frequently
passed down the side line. Under the cir
cumstances probably ho would have had
bettor success at the not than ho did at the
back. But Cullinghnm is a dinlcult man to
beat nt the net game. Wlionovor Austin
tried to get up Cullingham did thn same ,
nnd a volleying bout between the two was
generally ended by a cnm volley oft the
champion's racket , which foil entirely out of
reach of his opponent.
Iiuokod l.tko n Closn r
The first two games were evenly con
tested. Culllngham won the first , but lost
the second , and there was every prospect of
n close light. But then Austin dropped off.
Ho lost a love game and on changing ends
only scored tlireo points in the three
games while ho was at the south side of the
net. This Imd put him in a hopeless posi
tion , but ho pulled himself together for a
death strucgie. Hunnlng up after returning
the service ho raised the core to 5-2 and
then to 5-8 ooforo he lost another game , but
lhat was all ho could do and Cullingham ran
out at ITho ! ! ) sot had occupied just
twenty-four minutes. The following table

A ITiilntprcHtlng Double * .
Fifteen minutes after this wns over C. H.
Young and K C. Denise entered the same
court to do battle with the holders of the
doubles championship , C. S. Culliughim and
J. W. Battin , for their right to retain their
title. Five sots were played , but at no tirao
was the tennis in any sense brilliant or
praiseworthy. There ivcro , of course , occa
sional clover strokes , but on the whole the
play was feeble and unintorcsling. Cul
llngham , perhaps with over-confidence ,
started out with the Idea that ho could resi
in the first sot nnd play up later when ho
had got his band in. Cullinghnm's apparent
apathy caused his partner to lose confidence
nnd Battin hardly got over his initial ner
vousness by the tluo the whole thiug was
ended. Young , on tbo ether sldo of the nol ,
was suffering from n sprained wrisl , and
though , dlreclly , this hindered him bul lil-
tlo , ho played nervously , llko Baltiu , hilling
weakly nnd without judgment. Denise
nlono played up lo anything like his proper
form. Frequently ho snatched a game from
the fire by a brilliant volley directed to an
uncovered corner of his opponents' court
The very last point of all ho won by such a
ball when the score stood at 'vantage out
( Battin serving ) from a volley hot from
Cul'inghnm's r.ickot.
Losing the toss the champions started out
with the sun in their eyes. Battin took the
servo and won a love gamo. For n while ,
though , this wns about all the champions did.
They took the next two rests from Young's
service , but then losl eight points In succes
sion. This made the score two games to ono
in favor of the challengers , nnd all the tlmo
Cullinghnm wns doing less and less nnd
when Battin gel Iho ball ho returned it
nervously nnd ineffectively. Dcnlso nnd
Young took two games to 80 and two to 15.
Culllngham had started with the Idea of
lolling Iho llrsl sol go by dcfaull and made
an effort , for a while , lo ctjual/.n ! on Iho sec
ond. The first throe games were hotly con
tested , but though the champions captured
the fifth they got but ono point per game
throughout the remainder of the < ! ot , nnd
Young uml Dcnlso uow bad two sots ' each
nt 0-1.
Cniiclit Up , but Lost on thn Fifth.
By this time matters wore getting serious ,
nnd the champions' only choice was to play
up to their utmost or lese their title. Young
nt this stage wns nl his weakest. Time
after tlmo when tbo ball came to him if it
went back at all it wns Only to the place It
Imd come from nnd entirely without force
or precision. Cullingham and Bnttin got in
a love set. Then , changing oiids , they took
the next three games before they wont to
pieces again. Young nnd Demise soon led at
1-3 , the champions having won but two
points in. a whole round of services. There
loomed no reason why the match should not
bo won with the next two gaums , but Cul-
llnghmn again rasa to the necessities of the
iltunllon und tha sut went to bis sldo at 0-1.
Miitlo n Doiporate HtriicKl" .
Two-sots-nll : and every ono thought that
Cullinglmm would win , for , after all , it
rested with him whether ho did or not
Young could not do hlmsolf Justice nnd
Denise could not win nlono , and Bnttln had
no conlldcncu except when Culllugtiam was
making winning shots. Culllugham lost his
service and Denise won his. The champions
won the third game and made a desperate
fight to equalize on the fourth , but they lost
It , and DouUo and Young ran out at six
games la one.

WASIIISOTOX , Aug. 21. The Interest In the
fln.inclnl discussion was dwarfed today in the
greater Interest that every ono felt in the
announcement of committees. The speaker
had kept his intentions so secret tlmt sur
prises were expected , but no ono was pre
pared for the radlc.xl changes made In the
personnel of some of the important com
mittees.
Springer of Illinois , gives way to Wilson
of Weal Virginia , on Iho ways and means
committco , ami Springer Is nowchnirman of
the committee on hanking and currency.
Hohmin of Indiana , ihnt venerable
"watchdog of the treasury , " is deposed from
the committee on appropriations In favor ot
Sayorsof Toxns , und goes into Iho commit
tco on Ind tin ; affairs.
Bland of Missouri is retained at the head
of the commlttoo on coinage , but the frco
coinage people nro disappointed nt the com
mlttoo being changed so ns to leave much
doubt whether the free coinage people are
not In a minority and whether Iho financial
policy of the ndministrallon may not Und a
majority in the committco.
Congressman Tracoy of Now York , who is
nn administration man nnd second on the
committee , claims the speaker hns deferred'
to the repealing clamant to such nn extent
ns to make the committco mildly free coinage
nnd insists on counting ICllgoro of'Texas
with the free coinage men , -and the com
mittco will only stand nlno lo eight forfroo
coinage.
II lire t to Tell.
Chairman Bland , when asked tonight for
an opinion ns lo how his committee stands ,
very characteristically replied : "I don't
know. You can't toll how a follow stands
now-a-days. According to the way they
used lo stand we would have n majority of
ono for frco colnngo. but how they stand
now , God only knows. "
The committco on bankinp'and currency Is
said to bo opposed to frco colnngo.
The removal Of Holm'an from the appropri
ations commitlco is said to moan n moro lib
eral appropriation list in the Fifty-third con
gress. The friends of the Indiana economist
nro displeased nnd say they will take n stand
with Hulman In forcing thn democratic party
to live up to Its platform of 'economy in the
appropriations. "
The removal of Springer from the ways
and means committco gives this important
chairmanship lo Iho south. Holmnn's" ' suc
cessor is also a southern man. Every other
democratic member of this committee who
is in this congress is retained. The only
now republican member is Gear of Iowa , ono
of the stnunohest supporters of the MulCin-
loy bill in the lasl congress.
After tbo bonso met this morning , Mr.
Powers of Vermont took the floor In support
of the purchasing clause of the Sherman
net. Ho referred to Ibo Chicago platform
and to the interpretation placed on it by var
ious democrats. The gentleman from
Pennsylvania , Mr. Sibloy , had referred to
the Savior of man as the first democr.it and
had the utterances of the Savior as his plat
form ; the gentleman from Massachusetts ,
.Mr. Kverott , had taken Grovcr Cleveland
for his platform and had gene around his
district singing at the top of his voice : "Oh I
isn't ho a dandy 1"
Vicious In Principle.
Mr. Powers wont on to arguo" that tbo pur
chasing clause of the Sherman bill was
vicious in principle and dangerous In appli
cation. If free coinage were adopted the
gold bugs could corner the market Just as
easily as they could today.
Mr. Hooker of Mississippi opposed the un
conditional repeal of the purchasing clause.
The president spoke about restoring confi
donco. Where was confidence lacking ? It
was not in Iho grcal mass of the people ; it
wus iu the great money institutions of the
country. If labor was distressed it was at
tributable to the act , not the banks. The
repeal of the Sherman law would not re
store trade or commerce , nor would it relieve -
liovo the waeo earner. Thoiprcsent dopres-
sbn was not atlribulablo so much to the
Sherman act as 10 the McICinloy act. Ho
would admit that the frco coinage ot silver
would not give absolute relief , but ho con
tended that it would rcliovo the depression
to a very great oxtonl.
The debute wus suspended to allow the
speaker to announce the standing and select
committees.
Then , on motion of Mr. Bland , Saturday
next was set apart for general debate of
the Wilson bill.
Mr. Cooper of Indiana spoke In opposition
to the free coinage of silver. Ho would
rather favor a policy which would give the
country a safe , recognized stable currency
than enter upon experiments nt this time.
If congress repealed the nurchasiug clause it
would not strike down nor kill silver. In
his opinion it would lift up silver and make
it tbe equal of gold. Ho suspected thai the
arguments that this course would strike
down silver meant that it would strike down
the silver industry and not'tho silver money.
Ho then anrucd hi support of tha proposi
tion to repeal ihu tax on state' banks.
WnnU a Larger CarrMicy.
Mr. Alexander of North Carolina advo
cated frco coinage and spoke for a larger
currency. If some relief were not given to
the country there might be trouble. But ho
did not think the repeal of the Sherman act
nor the abolition of the tax on state banks
woula give ibis relief.
Mr. Sperry opposed free coinage and advo
cated the Wilson bill.
Mr. Cox of Tennessee argued against the
pending bill and recounted the hardships to
which the people of his district had1 boon
subjected since the war. Never by his
voice , nor his vote , would there bo another
feather's weight placed upon their backs. Ho
was speaking , ho said , in bobalf of the poor
colored mon of his country. The gentleman
on the ether sldo might claim to control thn
negroes , but at last tlio negroes tiavo got 10
the ether side.
Mr. Chielierlng of Now York asked if that
wns the reason the gen Human spoke for
them.
Mr. Cox replied ho had come to the conclu
sion tbo negroes constituted the best part of
the republican party.
Mr , Settle of Norlh Carolina said in his
canvass ho had opposed the free coinage of
silver. The farthest that hi > would go was
the colnngo of the American product. He
thought tlio voice of the laboring class of his
state is not for free coinage , but simply for
tbo increase of the circulation of the coun
try , but ho was not in favor of an Increase
of the currency that did not increase it with
sound and peed money. [ Applause , ] Ho
-vas In favor of bimetallism. Ho was not in
favor of striking down silver , but ho stood
unalterably opposed to the free colnngo of
silver in the absence of an international
agreement. Ho would record his vote
against the amendments of the gentleman
from Missouri , Mr. Bland , and would vote
for the Wilson bill.
The house took a recess until 8 o'clock.
Kronlng Seialou.
McDonald , democrat , from Illinois , sild
he was in favor of free coinage of gold and
silver at any ration that was acceptable.
He woula then remove from both tholr
legal tender quality , but the government
should have tbo privilege of paying its
debts in coin.
Mr. B&rtlott , democrat , said that wlth.tho
message of the president ho was m thorough
accord. Without an international agree
ment there could bo but ono. standard , and
ho wns in favgr of that standard , and that
wai gold ,
Mr. Stockdale , democrat , from Mississippi ,
nrtrued that the Sherman law had little to
do with the stagnation of business , but that
it was attributable primarily to the tariff.
The fight was not on between tbe east and
west : it was a light botwuoa the creditor
and debtor claises.
Tbo house at 11:10 adjourned until to' ,
morrow , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ '

Senator Morrlll'imtxdo ' an argument in
favor of the repeal of the purchasing clauio

Kansas by the jolnUnanombly which mot on
January v3 ! , 18U3 , miJjtliat John Martin Is
not entitled to a seal ns senator.
Mr. Stewart offered a resolution , which
wns agreed to , calling on the secretary of
the treasury for a statement ns to the silver
bullion purchased In July , 1893 , with prices ,
nnd ns lo Iho bullion ottered for sale in the
same mouth , with prices asked.
Mr. MorrlH'n Spooch.
The finance committco bill reported last
Friday , discontinuing the purchase of silver
bullion , was taken up so as to glvo Mr. Merrill -
rill n uhanco jot addressing tbo senate In
favor of the bill. Ho first , however , asked
and obtained indefinite lojtvo of nbsonco , re-
mnntlng ho was In the eonnto chamber
ngalnst the advlco of his physicians. Ho
then proceeded to road fron ; slips his speech ,
bearing the motto , "Sound Money Cheats
Nobody. "
Ho said ho had not yet abandoned all hope
of bimetallism , nnd for thai reason ho would
gladly vole for the repeal of so much of Iho
act of 1890 ns required the nurr.haso of silver ,
in order to remove the wldo dlslrust which
it had caused , The country would continue
to bo dopondcnt on paper na well as on silver
and gold , and us the silver dollar would not
bo demonetized thereby , whenever moro sil
ver could bo colnol und utilized without
crowding gold to n premium It would bo
done by universal consent. But the treas
ury should bo relieved from the embarrass
ment , of furnishing gold to pay for silver
bullion. The substlluto which the silver
mine owners demanded for the repeal of the
purchase clause , ho said , was the very meas
ure most feared by tlio country , as It would
bring with It a single silver standard.
Favored Uluietnllldiii Conditionally.
Ho did not , however , favor bimetallism
without nu increase of sliver in silver coin
age , ns without nn Increase it would bo im
possible to maintain any parity between
gold and silver , oven with the co-oporallon
of many nations. Nor could ho favor the
free coinage of silver by lho United States
nlono with tbo ratio between tbo two
metals to bo advanced from 10 to 05 to 1 or
oven to 23 to 1 , for the reason the pi'escnt
colossal output of silver could not bo an
nually absorbed by any smglo nation , nnd a
preposterous attempt to absorb it on our
) art might win a siullo from the governor of
Colorado , but would provoke tbo rtdlculo of
ho commercial world and cause its further
cpression. No remedy would have n
irosperous ending which did not fully
ecognizc the existing extraordinary amount

cheapen its price , but to open our mints to
its free coinngo would permanently
cheapen its value , as its solitary ac

the luncungo of Burke , "A wise and salutory

s whether wo are or are not to drop the

T.OI/LING A DEATH'IN MAINE.
A. Curlnui Custom Alulntalnod In Iloiuoto
Urulmis ol tlio I'lnn True Stiito.
The traveler through some of the
more remote rural regions of Maine oe-
insionnlly hears what most men qf three
score and ten remember as a familiar
sound in their younjj days the tjllhifj
of a church boll on the death of u dmii-
zen of tlio neighborhood , the stroked
numbering the years of the ponson's life.
There is something peculiarly solemn
about the use of the bell , so
long1 neglected in the moro populous
communities , and to a writer for
the Lewiston Journal no funeral bcrv-
ice over brought the fact of death
homo with the KUUO pathos as listen
ing to tlio unexpected uound of "the
death boll , " .startling the community
into a hush , broken for a few minutes
only by the low , whispered query ,
"Why , who .can that bo ? " Then , as the
tolling went on , the oount win kept care
fully to help solve the mystery. Tlio
tolling began usually very soon after the
breath had loft the body , and before the
news had spread through ether chan
nels. If a very aged person , the count
would require a considerable time , while
all would Bit very still and listen for the
strokes. A very dramatic HCOHO con
nected with thin old custom of
tolling the ago of the dead is
told by Miss Mulock in her
novel , "A Bravo Lady. " It is whore
the shallow rector has used otlior
money than his own , nnd IB on the point
of exposure , und his wife sees no way to
avert the disgrace about to bottle on her
husband and children , when the solemn
sound of the death bull peals over the
little village , Breathlessly the count is
kept and the boll L'OOH , on 'tolling until
tlioro is only one jmrHon in the com
munity whoso ago will compare with it *
stroke the wealthy old dean who has
told the rector's wife ho has made her
his hoir. A dear friend los > t , a fo'rtunu
gained the means brought to hand to
make good her husband's wrongdoing.
That is what the death boll tolls her.
Hearing the old familiar sound pealing
solemnly ever a Maine hnmlot the other
day brought this scene to mind most
vividly.
