CHEYENNE , Wyo. , July 7. During tha
/ireeent year there liaa teen great agricul
tural development In various parts of Wyom
ing , with prospects of continued activity. Tor
many years Wyoming was given up almost
entirely as pasture ground for big he-ds of
cattle , and very few attempts wore made
until recently to utilize Its vast areas for
any other purpose. In fact , It WIM the policy
of the cattlemen to dlsparaso the state as a
flojd for agriculture and to discourage all at
tempts at agricultural development. Of late
years , however , owing to a combination of ai-
verse circumstances , auch as severe winters ,
Iniuinclency of winter rasturage , and low
prices , thp range cattle b-slness has receive !
such a decldeJ tetback that many of the
large herd owners have either abandoned the
nuilneis or moved their herds to the virgin
pastures of northern Montana nnd the Brit
ish possessions- This action on the part of
cattle owners has left large tracts of land
In Wyoming unused nnd unoccupied , anl they
nre now being utilized by email ranchmen
and farmers
Prior to the present year It was a matter
of great difficulty to obtain title to public
lands by men of small means , and the set
tlement of the state was greately retarded
through the Inadaptability of the national
land laws to local conditions and local laws.
This dlfllculty has been removed to a great
degree by the passage of what lj
known as the Carey land act at
thy last session ot congress , donating to
the states In tliu arid region a million acre ]
of land each and by the passage.of a law In
this state providing for carrying the act Into
effect. The states of Colorado and Idaho have
adopted tlo : Wyoming measure , and the re
sults obtained under It In these states arc
being watched with Interest , not only In the
wait , but throughout the whole country , the
question being a national one. Inasmuch as
If the states arc succcs ful with the million-
aero grant , It IB probu'ulo that all of the
public lands will ultimately bo transferred by
tlio gencrp ! government to the respective
states In which they lie.
ENCOURAGEMENT FROM WASHINGTON.
The nlllccrs of the general land office nt
Washington have done all In their power to
aid tn the work of successfully carrying out
the Intent of the act , and liavo recently
modified the rules and regulations prescribed
by the department In order to conform with
the state law , nnd the provisions under
which land may now be acquire ! are' so sim
plified that the matter of colonization and of
reclamation of large areas of what has here
tofore been waste land will be comparatively
easy. Although In Wyoming , the land board
having the matter In charge has been b'lt '
recently organized , numerous applications for
land have been received , and the work of
reclamation and settlement la In active pro
gress.
The first application for lands under the
net was made by the Big Horn Canal com
pany and embraced 30,000 acres along the
dray Bull river , near where It enters Into
the lllg Horn , In Big Horn county. The
company Is composed of Wyoming and
Omaha people and the 30,000 acres , which
1s all susceptible of agricultural develop
ment , will bo cut Into eighty and ICO-acro
farms' and apportioned out to farmers as
soon as the canals to water it are com
pleted.
The Globs Canal company , composed of
Omaha Investors , has applied for 10,000
acres located along the Shoshone river , a
tributary of the BJg Horn. Tills company
has completed Its canal for one-halt o'f the
' ( IlsUuico proposed tq run It , and already
has a large "number of' settlers on Its land
who will produce good crops this year.
The lands under the Big Horn canal and
Glebe Canal company filings have an altl-
tiido of from 4,000 to G.OOO feet. They are
admirably adapted tn raising grain , pota
toes , alfalfa and fruit. The winters are
mild and peasant and water for Irrigation
purposes Is ample.
An application has also been made for
" 0,000 acres ot land along the Big Horn
river by an Omaha company , which as yol
lias not been formally Incorporated. The
application Is being examined at the present
tlmo by J. A , Johnston , of the State Board
of control , representing the .state engineer.
An application for 4,000 acres has been
made by a Fort Brldger company for land
along the Black Fork river , in Ulnta county.
An application for 10,000 acres along the
same stream will bo filed by the Black
Fork Cannl company.
Besides these applications for land under
the Carey act , applications have been made
for ditch rights for Irrigating lands under
the United States land laws during the
present year , to Irrigate about 100.000 acre : .
Olio of the most Important of these enter
prise ! ) Is that of the West Sldo Placer com
pany , an organization composed of Provi
dence , n. I. , Investors. This company has
contracted for the immediate building of
tn canal thirty-eight miles long , to bo taker
from the Snuko rlvor sixty-five mlles nortli
of Rawllns. While the canal is built to
conduct water for placer mining , It wll
bo used Incidentally to Irrigate a tiact of
10.000 acres of flno agricultural land , \\hlcl ;
will bo colonized by New England farmers ,
The Alpha Canal company , composed ol
Papllllun , Nob. , people , Is reclaiming 10,00 ;
nqres of land under United States land
laws In the Big Horn region , and has a
colony of Nebraska people ready to hettlo
on Its land as soon as walk on Its water
system Is completed.
MOST SUCCESSFUL VENTURE.
The most successful enterprise of this
nature Is that at Whoatland , Laramlf
county , along the line of the Cheyenne ft
Northern .railway , wheio the Wjomlng De
velopment company ban placed 05,000 acres
under Irrigation. This tract was placed on
the market n Httlo over one year ngn , and
up to the present tlmo nearly two-thirds
of It has been sold in eighty and IfiO-acro
tracts to farmois. Largo shipments of po
tutocs , bay and grain will bo made from thi
tnttlument this > car. A prqtptious am.
substantially built town ha * bjimni ; up in
the district , and the \\holo enterprise Is
u model of successful management. Tin
Wyoming Development company Is com
posed of Omaha , Now York and Cheycnm
capitalists , Ex-Senator Carey Is prcaldcn
of the company nnd haa the Active- manage
uient of the company's affairs. Nearly three
quarters of a million dollars have been In
vested In acquiring the land and building
the water system and the Investment wll
yield a Imndiomu return.
Tr.o greatest agricultural development in
the state this year has been In Big Horn ant1
Sheridan counties , where the acreage ot tlllei
land has been Increased fully su per con
over that of previous year. * . There has als
been a large Increase In St.ir Valley , In tin
extreme western part of the state , where a
lirijo number of Mormon families have emt-
grated from Utah. There has been , however ,
nil Increase in farming In all parts ot th <
ttate. a careful estimate placing the genera
Increase at 20 per cent.
Owing to the fact that Omaha capitalist )
and buslncix men have Iiuosteii largely li
tha canal enterprises of northern Wyoming
and that this pirt ot the niitc has direct rail
wiy communication with Omaha , that clt ;
will bs benefited very materially by Wyom
Inn's agricultural growth. Its merchants ar ,
establishing a large tnuU- with northon
Wyoming , nnd a great portion of the ttet
will soon become an Impcrtant factor In th
growth of the city.
UNDEVELOPED LAND.
While northern Wyoming contains muc
undeveloped land and afford. ? ampls oppor
tuntty for the Investment of capital , there ar
equally good opportunities in r.ic central am
toutiicrn parts of thp state. Along the Plait
river , In Albany. Natrona and Contersn cmm
tics , are Immense tract * of IrrlRjIiI * land
through which the PJalte river ( lows , carry
Ing in some Batons of the year 10,000 cuble
feet of water per second. The Investment
of a compJMllvcly small amount ot capital
would utilize tl\l \ < witter and lid : : and mid a
Brent producing area to tlit state , eapabb of
supporting tli-uuamU of fsmlile ! . Along ll.o
upper Platte valley , from Paiatoea to the
line of tha Union Pacific railway. In Carbon
county , the tame coiJItlom cxtit. ami wvcral :
hundred thousand ucri could bi rtflitlmcil
In tills locality.
The clniiK d rondlilonv of th * c.i"e ! u : l-
no * ot Wyoming lead to cdd ti > tbo juatit-
.blencsa . ot farming In tha state. Cattle
alslng on a largo scale has been almost
bandonctl and cattle feeding has been sub-
tltuted. Up to the present time this year
vcr 100,000 head of 1 , 2 and 3-year-old
leers have been shipped Into the state from
Texas , New Mexico and Arizona to bo fat-
encd. To the owners of tha cattle every
on of alfalfa that can bo raised In the state
: an be sold at profitable prices. In addition
o this many Mieep own ° rs are farming out
n shares small binds of sheep to farmers
nd ranchers to be alfalfa feJ during the
winter season. This plan hap proven success-
' 'ul , the farmers realizing extra prices for
ho alfalfa and the sheep owners equally good
Igures for their alfalfa-fattened mutton.
Those Interested In Wyoming's welfare ,
nd who are watching carefully the general
rend of affairs In the state are now satisfied
hat the has started upon a course of sub-
tant'at ' prosperity , and that the certainty ot
ticcess In agriculture under Irrigation , coin-
In od with the profits of stock feeding , will
lace her on an equal footing with the fore
most states of the union.
COSTS A HUMAN LIFE.
> Vhy Ivorr lllllliird linll * Ur 115 n ( Inml
1'rlro ,
Every Ivory billiard ball In use In the
world U Bald to have cost the life of a human
'clnt ' , ' . Most of this heavy expense has been
; iald In the Jungles of central Africa , where
man docs not count for half as much as
a humped ox or a trained ape. For nature
lias built an effectual barrier about "ner cultl-
ators of billiard balls the elephants and
lie who would penetrate it must take his life
n his hands.
In the first place , says the Chicago Record ,
nature has provided an atmosphere of great
lieat , reeking half the year with moisture
n which lurks the germs of a Siundred un-
: iamcd diseases and rent for two seasons with
uddon storms accompanied by heavy rains.
Then there ls the barrier of a rank and
: angled vegetation through which no roads.
: ) Ut these of the jungle folk have yet pierced.
The huge trees conceal fierce , wild animals ,
poisonous snakes and Insects whoso stings
mean ' death nt the end of days of suffering.
'mpassablo morasses , lakes , broad rivers and
mountain ranges are also numerous and yet
more dangerous are the Jealous savages , who
iave learned enough of clvllazatlon to dls-
ruot It and who know that a man never pro-
cists against robbery after he Is dead.
So the elephant Is given a chance to grow
a little before the harvesters of the Ivory
crop can reach him. When he has trumpeted
'
'or a few score years and his tusks have
: nado lilm a power In the herd some native
' iiinttr spies him as he thrashes through the
'ungle or wades In a morass. Then a great
number of the bravest warriors gather and
build a huge enclosure of vines , Into which
'ho elephant one day walks. From the sur
rounding trees come a shower of arrows nnd
.perhaps a bullet or two from an ancient gun
obtained at a hundred times Its value from
some wandering trader. Tne o'ephant
charges about trumpeting , but on every side
thu barrier holds him in. At last ho falls
overcome by numbers. Then his great tusks
are packed nway and a row of naked natives
carry them tor days through the Jungle until
they are placed In the king's treasury as
part of the wealth as well as the currency
of a nation. _ _
Sometimes the elephant Is killed by means
of a huge beam shed on Its under side with
a stone or Ircn knife , which Is so arranged
as to full when the elephant steps under It ,
Some tribes have enriched themselves by
finds of "dead Ivory , " or the tusks from cle- ;
phapls which have perished In years gene by.
The smaller pieces nre frequently used for
uprooting stones , digging In the earth and for
various Implements of warfare. _
After a time traders from England and
other countries appear and the tusks arc bar
tered for bright nothings old fashioned and
shop-worn fabrics , food , whisky and firearms.
Then there Is another long period of trans
porting the precious Ivory on the backs of
natives , with the constant danger of attack
from hostile tribes and the treachery of
friendly ones. At last It Is aboard ship and
after weeks on Hie sea It arrives at the
great ports , where It Is sold to carvers and
manufacturers.
The best Ivory conies from Africa. Some
of the tusks are from eight to ten feet long
and often weigh 170 pounds. The Indian ele
phants' tusks arc much shorter and of less
weight and the great demand has reduced the
supjfly to an e-xtcnt that It la now rare to
find a large tusk. Indian Ivory Is not so
good In quality as that from Africa. Much
of thn Ivory used In Russia and In other parts
of Europe Is found In northern Russia and
Siberia In the remains of prehistoric mam
moths. Where the skeletons have always
been frozen In the earth the Ivory Is as good
as the ordinary Indian product , but much of
It has been Injured by exposure to the
weather. Tusks have been found that were
moro than twelve feet long and weighed up
ward ot 200 pounds.
The value of Ivory rests mainly In Its
toughness. Its elasticity , and It quality of
taking a high polish. It Is filled with mil
lions of minute holes , which glvo It an elas
ticity which no solid object could ever have.
In effect Ivory Is the same substance as the
dcntlno of the teeth , and It Is unlike bono In
having no channels for the passage of blood.
The teeth or tusks of the narwhal , sperm
whale , walrus , and hippopotamus are also
used as Ivory , but the quality Is usually poor.
Great skill Is required In buying tusks , for
the external appearancs Is often most decep
tive. The inside may be full of obcesses
and cracks , and sometimes the core Is filled
with pieces of stones and chunksof Iron by
the tricky natives and no less tricky dealers.
When at last the tusk reaches the manu
facturer of billiard b.ills It Is again examined
very carefuly for flaws , and even If the
smallest crack Is perceptible the Ivory Is
used for some other purpose. If the tusk Is
found to be perfect and about the right Uzo
a little larger In diameter than the ball Is to
bo It Is sent out to the workroom. Hero a
number of aproned workmen and marvel
lously skilled they are , too measure the
tusk Into the proper distances to be cut Into
blocks. It Is then sawed Into lengths of
two and one-half to three Inches , according
to the size of the bills to bo made , and the
turners take the blocks In hand. All the
lathes are of exquisitely delicate workman
ship , for Ivory Is
a precious material and a
mistake Is always expensive. In order to
save the corners of the blocks , th ; turner
cuts a ring at each end and slowly deepens
It until a rough ring drops off. This Is
subsequently llnlsl.cd Into a martingale ring
llko those used on expensive harness. Two
rliva come from each billiard ball block.
The remaining Ivory Is now almost round ,
and after a few moro shavings are taken off
It Is laid as-lde to dry for about six months ,
for "green" Ivory Is rather soft and thsre
Is al\\a\a a likelihood of someshrinkage. .
When It has been seasoned It goes to the
workman again , and with still more delicate
ehlfccls ho pares It down smooth and exactly
round , a task requiring much Bklll and care.
Then the ball Is roughly polished by means
of an Ingenious little machine , after which
It Is treated to a rubbing with < -halk and
chamois skin , nnd finally with plain , soft
leather. It Is now bright , rfilny , ami to
ono who doesn't know about Burh things ,
perfectly smooth. But a workman rpends
much time on It , rubbing It with the palms of
the hands , th : best of all polishing dovlfes.
Ivory Is extremely tcnsltive to atmopnerlo
and climatic change * , and some appircntly
perfect bills will begin to cracK 2'id chip al
most at once , while others will remain In
good condition for years , A superficial
crack , however , does not materially Impair
the value of d billiard ball.
The b8 t grade of lulls Is from pure Ivory ,
all the enamel on the outride of the tusk |
having been removed before turning. In
the second grade same enamel h.is been left ,
which Impairs the appearance of the ball , but
does not ssrlously affect Its usefulness. Tha
third clnss Includes the ball ? which bhow
small surface cracks.
Ivory Is extremely susceptible to color ,
probably on account of the porous quality ,
nnd nsl and varl-colorcJ balls are made by i
using aniline. Usually tha part enamel balls '
or the cracked balls ore used colored , be
cause their defects are thus concealed. In
order to preserve a billiard ball it should I *
ollc'l n little from time to time.
Evrry particle , of nawdiut nnd shavings
from an Ivory shop Is ecriipuloiuly Raved.
By a wonderful prooeea there are treated
with chemical ? , submitted to enormous hy
draulic pressure , and moulded Into various
Email articles so perfect In every particular
that unly an export can tell them from solid
Ivory.
Wcrn-out billiard talh are cut Into various
small articles.

The game scheduled for Lincoln yesterday
was transferred to this city on account of
an excessive plenitude of constables down
in Lancaster county. The Buckcrinos at
tempted to pull off a game down there last
Sunday somewhere In the county , but the
rural limbs of the law took after them and
chased them Into the sand hills. So yes
terday they concluded to como to the me
tropolis and divide the receipts with the
Onmhas.
Once more Is Hiram's elongated cranium
In evidence , for ho not only carried backC
several hundred good , hard dollars to the
agricultural districts with him , but also the
gamo.
Of course the crowd was sore and disappointed
,
appointed , but that Is invariably the case
when their lambs get slaughtered. Such a
thing as the other fellow's winning never
enters their think tanks , until the thing Is
done. Yesterday was no deviation from the
.
| rule , but the halo of golden light which
shone llko a crown around Buckerlno's
classic caput as ho strode. , proud and de
fiant , out of the park , was almost compensa-
enough for the defeat.
As to the work of Hutch's boys there Is
not much to bo said. They got straddle
of the bannisters In the second Inning and
went sliding with a velocity that loft a
whirl of smoke In their wake , until they
struck terra flrma In the ninth Inning.
But the Buckerlnosl My , how they did
make the Omahogs hustle and grunt , every
man , under the able guidance of Hiram's
eagle brain and masslvo eye , playing the
limit from the first shuffle to the last turn.
Llttlo Nattrcss had a bad day of It , and
Paddy Miles was far below his usual stand
ard. In the seventh Inning "Snappar"
Kennedy , whllo going down to third under
a full head of steam , collided with Nat
tress and stretched him senseless. Ho was
quickly resuscitated , however , and plucklly
finished out the game.
COST HOLLY SOMETHING.
Holllngsworth , too , had a narrow escape ,
and had It been any other day but the
Sabbath , ho would doubtless .now bo perched
upon the Jasper wall twanging a celestial
mandolin.
Colonel Pace was so mad that ho stretched
his neck right up Into the air and gnawed
out old horseshoe nails and scrap Iron by
the bucketful ) . And ho wouldn't be sati
ated until Artomus Ward hit Holly a swipe
with a $10 flno that made him yelp like a
yellow dog.
Philadelphia Darby did the twirling for
the Hutchlnsons and Sylvester Gragg for
the Buckerlnos. Sylvester had gobs and
gobs the best ot It.
Sylvester Is a distinctly Intellectual type
of pitcher , with a touch of romance In his
nature. He has a strong imagination and
breath , great consistency of purpose , knows
what ho wants and secures It. Yesterday
when ho stepped upon the magic slab ho
remarked that ho wanted the game , and he
got It.
At no stage In the road was Sylvester's
sovereignty threatened. In his work was
blended energy , reflection and feeling , and
after the affair was all over he looked for al'
the world llko a big , red onion.
Nattross made the hearts of the populace
thump with ecstacy by smashing the second
ball pitched for three sacks. Slagle liolstcd
a high ono out to Snapper Kennedy , and
rc-Jolned his comrades on the bench. Ther
Shafo basted Silly for a couple ot sacks am' '
Nat scored , but the very next moment Cholly
was caught dozing at second and switched off ,
Old Hutch was fired out by Ben Hill to
i John L.
Then Lincoln came In and laid an egg , and
there was a Joyous cackling on the bleachers
BUCK BEGAN PLAYING.
In the next round , after Billy O'Brien's
successor had pushed the sphere disdainfully
and safely from him , Lehman , Pace and Miles
curled up In quick succession , gasped and
died.
died.But
But not so with the Clodhoppers ,
Van Duron , a tall , lily-like southerner , was
tha first man Buckerlno pushed to the front
It had been a long tlmo since Vunny had seen
a real llvo base hit , and as he stood then
waiting for Darby to pull a bunch ot imagl
nary curves out of the atmosphere , he made
an exquisite picture , modest , tender and un
sophisticated. Ho looked us It he had bu
little knowledge of the art of lacing her out
and evinced none of the coquetlsh ways o
Buckcrino , but finally , when Darby did n (
last let go of the ball , Vanny bristled up llki
an enraged female porker In defense of her
young , and hit It a rap that fairly Jolted the
fillings In Georgle's teeth. Still , it was bu
a single.
Buckcrino followed , and as he lifted his
big , white oak sapling and lowered
his brow like the lid of an old
fashioned trunk , everybody was afraid
he'd hit It out of the lot. Vanny
along sldo of Hiram was llko comparing the
soft murmuring flow of a limpid stream wltl
the rush of some mighty torrent , and yet al
Buck could do was to trundle a little on
down to Hutch and turn round before getting
half way to first.
Darby didn't like Senator Hill's looks and
too well , bo he Just soaked him with th
ball. John L. hit one a Jolt In the Jaw , and
Vanny swarmed homo. Then Cole basted
her and lha bases were full.
It was a critical Juncture , with Sylvester a
the bat. Ho ground the but of his bat Into
the p'atc and bit a piece out of his upper Up.
Then , when Darby hurled ono of his choices
slants at him , ho welted It. Hutch got I
aiid although ho cut off Colonel Cole at sec
ond. Senator Hill scampered In with aiiothe
tally , where Sully followed him a momen
later , when Petrlno Lehman essayed to prevent
vent Sylvester from stealing second.
Holly ended the agony by a pop up t
Slagle.
Well , that Inning settled Omaha's hash
and there Is little call for further wcrk or
my part. There was plenty of red fire anil
hog wash In the balance of the game , but th
gentle reader has my permission to exerclii
his own fertile brain awhile. Suffice It ti
say , that Hiram , Hiram Ebrlght , esq. , lefi
for Lincoln last nl fell t with his head s
swelled that he had to hire a small boy t
scratch It. The game put him one ahead o
Omaha In their scries so far , and he knev
when ho get back to Lincoln that th ? peopl
doun there will from this on make his hum
bio home a parudUe. a paluce , where love ,
truth and beauty shall reign alone. Score :

Second Trial ,
'
BRISTOL , U. I. , July 7. The second trial
of Defender was made today , and It proved
a satisfactory ono In every respect. Captain
Nat Horreschoff and the members of the syn
dicate who were on board , after their return ,
declared themselves delighted both with the
.
speed and with the behavior of the yacht.
The yacht Colonla was Defender's running
mate , and In the cruising done today the
syndicate boat fairly sailed around the Cole
nla. Defender also encountered several other
crack sailors , who , anxious for a brush , set
sail for her , but they were quickly left be
hind. She carried her canvas well and could
have stood a much stronger breeze without
shortening sail. The only trouble of consequence
quence was caused by the misfit of the top
sail , which was too largo , some little time be-
Ing spent In cutting this down.
The hundreds who watched Defender ex
pressed great surprise to see how her sills
held the wind , and when the breeze died away ,
she was equally surprising In laying up to the
wind.
Another pleasing point which the syndi
cate learned today was the remarkable speed
with which she can bo brought about. By
actual tlmo this feat was performed in fifteen
seconds , or ten seconds quicker than the best
time Vigilant ever made It In coming about.
From today's .trials It was figured that Defender -
fender outsailed the Colonla by about ten
minutes In ten miles.
Till3 afternoon the boats started out on a
second trip , and although the wind died away
to almost a dead calm , Defender held the
breeze nnd easily passed everything In the
harbor. After the second cruise , both yachts
returned to Bristol and dropped anchor.
Workmen wll resume operations on the un
completed work below decks on Defender ,
which , with other finishing touches to be put
on make It probable that she will not be
taken out again for several days.

HENLEY-ON-THAMES , July 7. Regatta
week opens with beautiful weather at Hen
ley. The town | 3 crowded and the river Is
alive with craft of all kinds. The crews are
resting today. The Cornell men received
numerous calls from old Cornell men nnd
other Americans and members of other Hen
ley crews. Coach Courtney has been Indis
posed. Manager Francis has made many ,
criticisms on the draw , Intimating that it
was arranged In favor of the English. He
especially complains of New College , Ox
ford , having a bye for the first round und
then only having to meet the Thames or
Eton crews before the finals , while Cornell
must row with Leander and then with Lon
don or Trinity before the finals. Ho said
the Canadians had been treated thn same
way , but they cannot see It. Mr. Francis
said all this In the presence of the crew.
The Sunday Times , reviewing the work of
the different crews , says that It Is bound to
admit that the Times' tests have shown the
Cornell crow to be as fast as any on the
river , but they are badly drawn , and despite
the fact that they are undoubtedly a speedy-
lot , Leandcr should beat them In their heat.
The Referee predicts that Now College will
bo the winner.

BOSTON , July 7. The committees having
n charge the extensive arrangements for
the great Christian llndcavor convention ,
which will open hero next Wednesday , have
now practically completed their work and arc
ready to receive the delegates ns they arrive.
Thcso arrangements have been most thorough
nnd t'ao committees announce that over 65,000
pcopto can bo provided for without confusion
or discomfort. Two largo tents , 284 by 180
feet , with a seating capacity of 8,000 each ,
have been pitched on Boston common nnd
will bo ready for occupancy by tomorrow
night. These tents , together with the me
chanics' building , will bo the principal meetIng -
Ing places during the week , although services
will be held dally In many churches In t'ao
city.
[
During the noon hour 125 companies ot
Christian Endeuvorcrs will dally visit the
largo manufacturing firms , dry goods houses
nnd . places of business and hold services there
with the employes ,
Ono of the most difficult problems confront
ing the committees has been how to feed such
a multitude In the htiort tlmo between the
session. This has been solved by turning
Machinery hall In the mechanics' building
Into a mammoth restaurant , with a seating
capacity of 2,800 , where everything from a
dairy lunch to a table d'liote dinner can be
obtained. Special attention has been given to
the vocal exercises of the convention and for
the past three months a chorus of 3,000 voices
has been rehearsing songs to bo sung. The
, chorus will be divided Into three parts , BO
that the music In each of the large tents and
Mechanics' hall will bo led by 1,000 trained
singers. Once at least during the
week the three choruses will bo united.
A huga outdoor meeting will bo adjourned
to take part. A meeting will also bo held In
Faneu 11 hall. During the convention large
parties will visit the historic places In this
vicinity , Including Concord , Lexington , Cambridge -
bridge , Salem , Plymouth and Bunker Hill.

BOSTON , July 7. Many ministers In this
city spoke on the riot that occrrred In East
Boston on July 4 , during which a man was
killed and several others wounded , as the
result of an attack on an A. P. A. parade In
that district. The largest gathering was at
the People's temple this afternoon. The spa-
clous building was found Inadequate to hold
the throng of people , and an overflow meeting
was held In the Presbyterian church opposite.
At the People's temple Rev. E. S. Wheeler
and cx-Prlest Joseph Slattery were the
speakers , both of whom In most severe terms
denounced the spirit of religious Intolerance ,
which they claimed was1 at the bottom of the
whole matter.
A committee of citizens has appointed
Councilman E. S. Crockett and Mr. E. V.
Edgerly as a commltteo to petition the
Board of Aldermen for the use of Faneull
hall on the evening of July 10 for the pur
pose of holding an Indignation meeting ot the

Chief of Police White was In Omaha about
ten days , Incog. , before ho assumed tlio duties
of his present olllce. He was not well ac

strniiKor to the classes with whom he will
probably have the most business In his ca

were busy ones for Mr. White. During that
tlmo ho managed to accumulate a good deal
of knowledge concerning the shady sldo ot

Mr. White hod heard much talk about the
gambling evil In Omaha and had been In

the efforts of the police to break up had here
tofore proved futile. He decided to make a

harnebs.
The day after Mr. White had been Inducted
Into office he dropped Into a Douglas street
saloon uthlch had been supposed to have a
gambling attachment. Introduced himself as
the chief ot police , and asked the proprietor
to t call at his ofllco In the city hall at 10:30 :
o'clock the next morning , The saloon man
was promptly on hand and was cordially
greeted.
"Tako a scat , " said Chief White , "I am
glad to sco you. J asked you to come up hero
| because l there Is a little matter that I wanted
to talk to you about. You nnd I don't want
to have any trouble and I might ns well talk
plainly to you. There are plenty of suckers
outsldo : of Omaha and vtlicii you want to
catch them , I want you to go out ot Omaha
to j do your work. You can't do It here. "
The saloon man Is no slouch In a game ot
bluff i , and promptly announced that , ho had
no j Idea as to what the chief was talking
about.
"To bo plainer , then , " said Mr. White ,
"I want you to take that smooth dlca box.
that sot of loaded dlco and that pack of
marked cards that you have behind your bar
and throw the whole outfit Into the tcwcr.
[ If you'll do that you and I will .got alone
much better than wo will If you do not. Do
you understand me ? "
The saloon man understood The dlco outfit
and the marked cards were given to a
sharper who was going to Denver on the
next train.
KNEW WHERE THE RAKEOPP WENT.
Another saloon man , who U reputed to have
a gambling den upstairs over his place ot
business , called on the chief at the latter's
request the same day. He was cordially
welcomed , as had bean his follow gambler ,
and the conversation was opened by the chief
without ceremony or delay. "Mr. Blank , "
said the chief , "I understand that you have a
little poker gamt running In the rooms over
your saloon. Now I don't care to have any
trouble with you over this matter. If the
gambling houses were all running I'd sea
that you got a show with the rest , but as
the other places are closed , I must Insist
that you close your place. "
Mr. Blank Insisted that ho was not run
ning a gambling house , although ho aJmlttoJ
that the rooms wore frequented by a few of
the boys who liked a little game , but that
there was nothing public about It.
"Yes. I know all about that , " replied the
chief , "and I also know that the rakooft from
those quiet little games goes Into ybur vest
pocket right along , and the game must bo
stopped , and that at once , or you and I will
have trouble. "
Mr. Blank died hard. "The rooms are open
all the time , chief , and you would not ob
ject to high five and whist would you ? " ho
asked. "The rooms will be open and your
olllcers and men can visit the place as often
as you wish to see that there IB no gam-
bllnc In procress. " . , , . _
"Oh , there's no objection to high flvo and
whist , " replied the chief , "but when a police
man wants to go Into the rooms , I want you
to Instruct your barkeeper to keep his foot
off that little electric annunciator you have In
the floor , behind the bar. If you don't do
that , we will have to como In and lasso your
barkeeper and tie him down before the police
man starts upstairs. "
Mr. Blank threw up his hands and promised
to close Ills rooms , even to the boys who have
a great desireto play high flvo and whist ,
Just for the .fun of the game.
HAD SOME FUN ON THE ROW.
The chief ot pollco also had some fun ami
gathered some pointers In the proscribed dis
trict. Ho took a stroll down through the
Krench section early In the evening and was
greeted with cries of : "Como In , Fatty , "
"Hollo , baby , come In , " and similar saluta
tions from members of the sinful sisterhood ,
who were at the windows looking for victims.
The chief was not to be caught BO easily , and
the sirens adopted moro radical measures.
A number of them ventured out upon the
sidewalk , and In a few minutes ho was sur
rounded by a dozen or moro women , who were
tugging , at htm and trying to Induce him to
enter their palaces of sm. But ho was afraid.
Ho feared the pollco would get after him and
the women If they did not Icavo him alone.
He was sure that the police would run him
In If they found him on the sidewalk with
the women around him , "Tho pollco bo
blanked , " said the girls In chorus. "Tho
pollco won't bother us ; they're all right. "
Still the stranger was not satisfied. Ho In
sisted upon further assurances , and was given
to , understand that the proceeding to which
lit ) vas being subjected was not at all un
common with them , and that the pollco would
not Interfere with them at all.
"Well , If the pollco won't Intcrfcro with
you , I had better get out of hero while I can , "
replied the chief , and ho wont up and wrote
a notice , Instructing the policemen tn the dis
trict to sco that Inmates of the houses were
kept Indoors and not allowed to solicit from
open windows , or on the sidewalks , The
notice was posted the day the chief assumed
his 1 official duties , and It was * a hint to lha
pollco that Mr. White had not been Idle dur
ing his brief stay In Omaha ,
