The Salvation Army and Shnnahan's
Tarriors bumped up against each other
yesterday afternoon at Sportsmen's park
with a sound that might bo likened to that
made by a blowed-up bladder when sat upenD
D > a fat man ,
It wasn't much of a game , and still there
was considerable to It , if you take Into con-
Bldonvtlon the barnfullof clodhopper plays
thoTarrlers made.
"Vhy , iho Christians fairly pushed them
oft the oirth.nnd at the close Captain Dave's
mug resembled n big piece of ripe liver.
* Miss Gusslo Connor of Weeping Water did
the conVoluting for the ecclesiastical band ,
and sny maybe she didn't pUch a great
The' solid Muldoons couldn't do a thing
with hor. . ,
Titus Flatlns Stonoy was the flrst child of
mercy to wield his tree , nnd the second ball
Filched he setit sailing out toward Mickey
Bradford , nnd Mikoy got his hooks on It ,
then lot It got away from him and Titus
mnflo sdeohd on the blunder.
And the Christians shouted hallelujah , ol
' "
course. ' . . .
J'rofessor Rus.Mn twined his lumbrlcal
muscles about the stick and pushed ono cleat
put to Jollon , and Jell nailed him at flrst.
Then. General Wlnfleld Scott walked
downand Lysic drove both ho nnd Flavius
homo on a rattling two-cushion punch.
For. Iho-TarrJprs , Josophus Walsh.wlth his
fair young head gloaming nnd scintillating
in the golden sunshine llko a huge ruby , sent
n bcwhlskcrcd liner straight into old
Caligula's hands , nnd everybody gave Gal
igtila a shout ,
The plaudits of iho concourse , however ,
were too' much for the old Roman , and ir
harvesting the lightweightchamplon'f
grounder ho stopped on ono of his knees and
the champion landed safe , on flrst ,
St. Joseph Gatowood made faces at Gussi <
In'such an exasperating way that she Ju l
wouldn't put 'em over , so there now I
And so St. Joseph promenaded , but.no one
cared for tllat , for Miss Connor curled then
sd close around the nocks of the Tarriors
battery that they were glad enough to goi
away with their lives.
They both struck out.
Then They "Hollered" Again.
Again did these celestial Jaws work In t
grand dlaphasan ot Joy.
They wcro Just llko so many raw oystors-
these 'farriers from over the railroad trades
In order to keep the excitement up to th
proper pitch Caligula McKclvey sent ono ou
through the dicotyledonous plants on Mlcke ;
, Bradford's farm as if it had boon shot out o
| a toy pistol , and Miss Conner hocus-pocusoi
a little ono past llrst.
But It didn't amount to anything after all
I for Cloobulus Angel nnd Annie Lowrio botl
l chopped holes In the air.
, What the band played .faced Jelly flrsl
i In the second. IIo was uncoupled at flrst b ;
a brilliant stop and throw by St. Josepl
Gatowood. Titus Flavius then connoctoi
safely , but was forced at second by the pro
fessor's adoliscont push to Captain Dave
The professor was as wrathful as Achlllc
at what he had done to Flavius , so he Jus
buckled up his sandals nnd Hew on down t
second llko n winged horso. A largo , hie !
pitch boosted him along ninety foot furthoi
and when General \Vlnfiold Scott pelted th
ball so hard you could hear Its intercostal
grate against each other ho convened on th
plate. The general ; too , burgled/ second
f. but got .no further , for Captain Lysl
caromed ono into Duffy Flyun.'s ] joekot.
It was a hand-painted .hnrso collar for th
Tarrlo'rs. " v , <
Fell on the FliUlstlnoii.
, The third was Just like so much clrcv
lemonade for the workers In the vineyard.
La'coy missed Caligula's third wild Jab by
half a mile , and that kind old gentleman Jou
neycd clear round to second before ho coul
bo Induced to stop. Miss Conner's ribbor
got in her way nnd she toro three gapin
rents in the hazy atmosphere. Then Marci
'Claudius Wilkens accepted a glft'Cloobuli
Angel smashed out a couple of pillows , an
thai dear old heroine , Annie Lowrio , ha
her life safe by a mlscuo by Francisco i
Uomlnl Jellen. Four wide ones lot Flavit
Stonoy to flrst. .and the professor into
rupted the1 droning of the chrysomo
edal out In the waving pampas th ;
itretchcs away like a boundless plain to tl :
louthoast nnd four moro largo , oloaeinou
runs were chalked for the boys who ncithc
iwcar.cat tobacco or chase cigarettes.
Like an arch-horltic , General Scol
ilammcd his club through the ambler
thrlco In quick succession , without eve
raising a zephyr , and retired to his mosqi
like the Rullty thing ho was.
For the Nonpareils the Muldoons ,
mean Coscplius Walsh , with a Chattanoos
scowl up9n.hls roseate brow , walked res
lutoly up to the pan and the flrst ball Mi :
Connor shook out of her apron ho smackc
it square on the kisser for a third of tt
. entire trip ,
This climax sort o' flustrnted Gusslo ar
'the floated In another soft ono , which tl
lightweight uppercut for a sack , scoring tt
boy from Tennessee. ,
, Tlio flstie here jimmcd second , and thoi
after St. Joseph Gatowood had drawn
prlzo , was forced at third by Jolly's lilt
tnp to old Caligula. That was all. Lac <
trundled ono down to Gusslo , and the mcc
nnd , lowly came back for some more plo.
And.thoy got It ,
Ono slice.
Lyaio was deadheaded to the flrst static
stole second , and came in on sacrifices 1
Caligula and the Weeping Water prln
donna.
Cloobulus Wllkins made the third out.
* All n TMo of Woe.
It was Just like chasing the Syrians out
ilndca "in the Tarriors half. Bradfoi
slashed great slices off of the ethereal , ni
Captain Dave and Flynn , the Dago , perls
Ing at llrst.
But what use Is there in prolonging th
ialo of woe. The Christians kept awattli
i the ball with the most reckless abandon , ni
piling up runs until they resembled a Him

, many old women trying to dam Niagara wl

. When the suli was lowering 'her soddi
mug below tjho western horizon , the bullet

CniCAOO , Aug. 20. In a bill for divorce ,
filed In the superior court today by Mrs.
Bella H. Hassott against William K. Hassntt
of this city , some most astounding charges
are mado. It is alleged , and the allegations
are supported by written evidence , that
Hassott conspired with the wife of a wealthy
farmer named Stone , now Itvlne near
Nashua , In. , to murder Stone , got n divorce
from his own wlfo and then marry the
widow of Stone , who , by the letters at
tached , was moro than willing to put her
own husband out of the way that she might
marry Hnssott.
Mrs. Hassott Is well known In the bolter
circles of Cincinnati , where she taught
school for several years , Her maiden name
was Hicks , and her widowed mother yet
lives In Cincinnati.
llusfltt' . Antecedents.
Hassott comes from a wealthy family in
Jefferson , la. His father was qngagcd In the
hardware business In that plabo for many
years prior to his death , a * short time ago ,
and left a fortune which will benefit Hassott
to the extent of $50,000 or ' § 75,000. Ho
married Miss Hicks at Hamilton , O. , Juno
24,1801.
About one year ago , whllo Haasott was
traveling .through Iowa , hb wet Mrs , Nellie
Stone , who was living with.b. . : r husband at
Nashua. The woman , the bill alleges , became
came greatly1 enamored of Hassctt , and it is
charged she made the propositions to make
way with her husband , who is past middle
ago and an Invalid. 'NVhilo all this was
going on Mrs. Hasiott remained at homo.
The alleged plot , as evidenced by the data
attached to the bill , was to bring StenO to
Chicago on atrip to the World's ' fair and
then place a quantity of poison In his medi
cine. The couple hoped to shield themselves ,
it is said , from the law by giving . .out the
death of Mr. Stone was from natural causes.
Mrs. Hassott became .awaro of the so-
called Intrigue through "an ' accident. jNot
lom : ago her husband came homo.jiruiik-nucl
a quarrel arose , resulting in tho' defendant
tolling his wlfo that ho bad a wotaan livinp
In Iowa who loved him moro than she , and il
she did not believe it sho. would find some

The excitement on the -floor was so grej

Mr , Bland next took the floor. Ho said
the gentleman from Now York , M

evidently gained from a manipulation of tl

was true that It was to the product of tl

4 this government looked to bring back tl
gold of Europe In order to maintain our pro
out financial system. But the gentlomi
had failed to tell ttio house the difficult !
under which the farmer labored In order
do this patriotic service. IIo had not to
the house that there was a corner of tl
gold of the world. As" " long as the gold i
the world was cornered by the legislation
the United States the gold men of the wo
aud south could exact their own prlco f
gold , The dogmatic utterances of the go
tloman from Now York were made In tl
face of history and In the face of truth. I
( Mr , Bland ) did not defend the Shormi
act ; but It ho could put in its place a provl
Ion for the f reo coinage of silver , at a ral
ot 10 to 1 , ho would vote for its repeal.

He saw no reason whatever for cbangl :
the existing ratio of 10 to L The productl
of gold and silver for tbolast 100 yea

that was the ratio of the silver coinage

The propositions to bo submitted were i

yet under It SSO.OlO'JXW or $40,000,000 In green-

of Mr. Cockran's arcmncntg shows that ono
of the causes of thOjnancIal trouble was n

In reply to General Warner's" question ho
jatd that tha acntletriair-'ebuld put the sta
tistics as ho pleased , but It was notorious
Lhat the money in the banks ot Npw York
: x > uld not bo drawn by southern or western
banks. The silver mon'ln the house had
offered several compromises" . If these com
promises wcro rojcclbd there Would never be
another compromlsd'offered. To maintain a
gold standard moatit to ticmonotbo silver
nnd to lower the price of Tabor. The Wilson
bill asked the United States congress to
legislate so as to add to llio prosperity of
England and Australia -anil to the distress
nnd adversity of the farmers and minors of
America. Ho had not advocated Iho Sher
man law. Ho had voted against it , but it
was i.ow the last bulwark ot silver. It was
now proposed to demonetize silvbr. isbw
was the tlmo tn lot the country see who
wcro the friends of silver and bimetallism In
this houso. To strike tlown silver would
moan a political revolution' that would strike
down both great political parties/ For one ,
ho was willing to Join the people , dveii
though democracy would have to go to tno
wall. [ Applause. ]
Mr. McMHInt ot Tennessee. .
Mr. MoMlllln of Tennessee was the next
speaker. Ho had listened , ho said , with
much Interest to the v < ; ry able presentation
of his sldo of the question by the distin
guished gentleman from Maine , but ho could
not agree with him that the effect of the
repeal of the Shero'ar. act would aid to bring
tack him ( Mr. Reed ) and these who went
with him. That gentleman was not his
( Mr. MoMlllin's ) kind of a democrat.
[ Laughter.Thero ] were three kinds of cur
rency In this' ' country gold , silver
and paper nnd he would - keep these
three kinds of currency , each of them
equal to the other. And' ho would resist , as
ho would resist the poatileuco , any effort to
legislate the destruction of Cither of these
kinds of currency.Ho could conceive of no
greater disaster thatuutlmt which would
drlvo from circulation th a $000,000,000 , of
silver. It was a new doctrine to tlio demo
cratic party that ariV of the 'throa kinds of
currency was to bo'forccd out of circulation.
It was a now doMrine"to the American
people. Ho did n66'wiftit ' monometallism in
either silver orgold. Hewantod bimetallism.
For bimetallism ft % T\ad \ voted in the 'past
and would vote in'inVfuturo.
Sir. U'llson ivor * Repeal.
Mr. Wilson of Weit Virginia closed the
afternoon debate Witll'a speech in support of
his measure. By tidlYersal- consent , ho said ,
the so-called Sherman act had failed tc
Justify the expectations df these who
framed it. It had bt-eft expected to raise the
price of silver throughout the w6rld. 'rhac
had proven to bo a false expectation. It had
been expected an Sxfiansiffn of the currency
and renewed prospXJHEV would 'follow the en
actment of the law. This'had not como to
pass. .Instead of pfftrtucing an expansion , it
had proo.cd a'Jco ( ldiBtion of thfc currency.
No one couic doubt-.tlio Sherman law was
largely rcsuattsiuler for > * tUo panic that
had su'.MnjilyiovojJSBfleadMbs country. It
throw the country up6n Agold ? * b'aslS. Many
would bo surprised to find the country had
bcon upon a gold basis , slnoQi 18&1 undoi
economic laws. Wo have ? , been on a , gold
standard since 1831 by economic laws ; since
1873 wo had'been ' oh a jold'hasts by the 'ex.
press statute of congress. The trouble was
that as silverihad gone down the , greater
stress and test was put upon the govern
ment. Gentlemen had said if wo would.stor
now the purchase of silver under the Sher
man act wo would demonetize silver.
The bill proposooThero would not do this
at all. The bill had corao not to destroy , bill
to savo. It had come hot.jto'strike down sit
vcr , but to place it at once , and forever on ai :
imprcgnablo/jasis with goldIn the circula
tion of the country , [ Applause. ]
Mr. McMHlln asked If the gentleman pro
posed to follow this bill .up with a proposl
tion for free coinage. , -
Uoslre of the Administration.
Mr. AVllsonreJoinqd'ho ' was satisfied thai
It was the earnest w } h''ot the administra
tion not only to support the existing silvei
circulation , but tojpcrcaso the issue of silver
vor currency to the utmost oxtcnt It wai
safe to do so. and to keep sil
ver on a parity with gold. [ Applause.
Gentlemen complained that price , lm <
fallen. Why should they complain of thl.
when the price of labor'had gone up ? Wai
not that the emancipation of man from con
stant pressure ? If men could'got their timi
for their own cultivation ; If they could sur
round themselves with "luxury , were gentle
men going to dcclalmvagalnst them ? [ Aji
plause ] .
Now for the benefits which would com
from this bill. The llrst was the rostoratioi
'
of confidence among tlio 'people in their owi
monoy. Just as soon as wo draw the lln
and say that , for the .present , at least , w <
would buy no more ail'ver , every dollar nov
In existence In this country would bo as gooc
as any other dollar , ' and men would no
care in what dollar gold , silver o
paper his debts would bo paid. There couli
bo no expansion of the currency that wouli
work so quickly as to lot loose from Its hldlni
places the $1,700,000,000 now in this countrj
It was not so much the quantity of th
money as the quality that would restor
confidence. Restore conlldonc.o In , the cut
ronoy of the-country. Lot every man understand
dorstand that ovorjr piece of money was a
good as any other pleco'aiid the money 1 :
the country would support''the ' ' credit whicl
it represented , would move the crops an
would hayo what wo had pot had rocontl ,

Dr. Marshall Cushing , who is known every
where as Postmaster Uenoral NVahamnkor's
private secretary In today's Washington
Capitol , has this to say of President Cleve
land's health :
"Mr. Cleveland has long hnd a premonition
that ho should not llvo his term out. Jt Is
ouo of those' groundless , unreasonable premonitions -
monitions that sometimes takes possession ot
a man , ho knows not how , but ho impres
sion which it has made upon the mind of the
president deepened by his depressed nervous
'condition. Ono would think , after looking
tu the hideous naked picture nf Mr. Cleve
land's ' logs that was printed some time ago ,
that ho suffered from dropsy. SoiiiOiwho
have looked atrhis face have though. * , his
trouble related to the kidneys. ,
"Others have .Imagined that because the
president is stout and has been given all his
life to n generous mode of living , and , more
over , because ho is troubled with the
rhouni.itlsm that ho would yet bo tin easy
prey of apoplexy. It is all wrong , most
likely. The trouble is nervous prostration
and tlio premonition. Mr. Cleveland has
lately written letters to a friend here and
almost every day , in his own hand , and ho
has wondered when ho should have to oomo
back here , and whether ho could not stay a * f
day or. two , and then return to his absolute
rest. Other evidence that the president is
troubled about himself Is that ho has said to
friends that It was not pleasant to think of
leavinir nil his causes to a man , who was dia
metrically opposed to most of them. The in
ference in the minds of the friend was that
the country might bo deprived of its presi
dent and the democratic party of its loader.- "

Officials under President Cleveland's
present administration are taking up the .
political prejudices which marked thu ad-
iiniulstratlon of eight years ago. It vtill bo /
romariccd that Secretary Whitney at the
direction of President Cleveland canceled
shipbuilding contracts with John Hoach
anJ refused to accept perfectly constructed
ships from that uulldcr , simply because ho
was a republican. The entire forces of the
administration wcro concentrated to break
Mr. lloach financially , and It succeeded per
fectly , for it ruined his business standing ,
broke his health , and finally sent him to a
[ irematuro grave.
Secretary Herbert has Just- ordered Lieu
tenant Charles A. Stone , a naval onicor ,
who has for some years been on a leave
without pay and in the employment of the
Andrew Carnegie steel works , to quit the
Navy department. It has been the custom
ofsecrctarles.pt tlio navy during peaceful
times to grant leaves without pay to minor
olllcers who desired to enter the employment
of private citizens. The Carncgio works
wanted Lieutenant Stone to kcop thorn
posted as to the requirements nf the govern
ment in its contracts for steel plates , armor ,
otp. Every laigo government contractor
has had an agent of this kind in Washing
ton , and those ho have been building for
the army and navy have had their agents in
these departments. The fact that Carncgio
is a prominent republican was sufficient to
warrant the secretary of the navy in cutting
off all courtesy to his works , and Lieutenant
Stone has been ordered out of the Navy de
partment.
