THE OMAITA DAILY BEE : SATUHDAV , OCTOBER , : I80 . ENTERS THE ENEMY'S ' CAMP John R , Webster Delivers an Address at Silver Headquarters. CROWD INCLINED TO BE BOISTEROUS X'rcKcntn Some ArKiiliipnl * Which Were I'tiHcrn f ir ( lie : Vrre Sllvcr- ' KCM Vnltic if Government Stuiuii IlliiHlrateil. 'At the Invitation of the committee having charge of the free silver headquarters on Fifteenth street John li. Webster addressed the free silver advocates of that place- yes terday afternoon on the coinage ( luestlon. The room was crowded to the doors and , lor. the most part , the crowd listened at tentively to what Mr. Webster had to say , hut the tendency to Interrupt the speaker was In evidence nearly all of the tlmo and It was with diniculty that the chairman kept order. Jesse Whlto continually shouted "rats" at points made by Mr. Webster which did not meet with White's approval and ho almost broke up the meeting by attempting to assault au elderly man who remonstrated with him for his conduct. AVhlto grasped a loaded cano and was only prevented from striking the old man by bystanders. In opening , Mr. Webster asked a number of questions of his auditors , drawing from them admissions that they favored frco sil ver because they wanted o cheaper dollar , and that they all believed the stamp of the government made the value of the coin , without regard to the bullion value of the metal composing the coin. After eliciting the latter admission Mr. Webster produced a (10 gold piece bearing the date 1SG5. This was , of course , admitted to bo worth its face. Then ho produced a coin bearing on its face the stamp of the government , which had been stamped at the Philadelphia mint , and having the same design In all Its de tails , as the cold piece , even to the date. This coin was of copper anil Mr. Webster asked If any one thought the two coins were of criual value. This was a poser and no one attempted to answer him for sev eral seconds , and then Louis Him said It was necessary to have the law behind the coin. In answer to this Mr. Webster pulled from his pockut a handful of silver dollars , which ho eald ho had purchased of a money changer In Now York. They were from many nations and Mr. Webster told his audlcnco how much ho had paid for each of them. These coins were of slightly different value , on their face , but all were about of the same fnco value as the United States dollar. Taking up the dollar of IJogota , Mr. Webster said ho had purchased It In New York for 45 cents. The dollar of San Salvador vader ho had bought for the same price. The dollars of Chill , Guatemala , Peru and the Japanese silver dollar had each cost In open market the sum of 50 cents. The Mexican silver dollar had cost G3 cents. Producing the coins of Germany , Italy , Hoi- glum and France , Mr. Webster said these had each cost him (1 In American money. REASON FOR THE DIFFERENCE. "Why Is It that these coins vary In their market value ? " ho asked. "I asked the same question of the man from whom I bought thceo coins. Ho told mo that the nations whoso rolns were worth their face value were on a gold basis and the gov ernment was pledged to redeem its money In gold coin. The other nations I have named are on a silver basis and their coins arc worth only their bullion valuo. "Hero Is a coin which Is on a different basis from any of the rest , " continued Mr. Webster. "I hold In my hand the dollar of Spain. The sliver In this coin Is worth about 50 cents. On Its face it purports to ho worth $1 of our money. I bought it for 75 cents. I asked the money changer In Now York why It was that the coin was worth nclthcn its bullion value nor Its face value. Ho answered , 'Spain Is on a gold basis and Is pledged to redeem Its coin In gold , hut Spain has lots of trouble on Its hands with the rebellion In Cuba and dis turbances In the Philippine Islands , and the world Is In doubt as to the ability of Spain to redeem Its coin In gold ; In other words , the credit of Spain In the markets of the world is not first class and Its coin is shaved 25 per cent. ' Now , " continued Mr. Webster , as his auditors showed plainly that this vigorous course of reasoning had set them to thinking , "wo have the things which are necessary to keep this kind of money at par : wo must have the stamp of the government , wo must have thq law be hind It ; wo must have the money redeema ble In gold , and wo must have a nation with good credit In the eyes of the world. " Mr. Webster then took up the history of the coinage of metals , beginning with the earliest , use of metal as money and tracing the use of that kind of money up to the period of early English history. Ho brought out clearly the fact that , both In Europe anil during the early days of this country , gold forced ItH way to the front as the money of the people , though it was not legal tender and was not coined , but was used by the people In the shape of bars. Ho started on a discussion of the debasing of coins by the sovereigns of Europe when they were hard pressed for money , and Illus trated his points by producing the colus themselves , showing the gradual decrease in the quantity of metal put In the calus as the royal treasury became exhausted more and more. Ho then read from authentic history to show the misery and suffering in- lllcted upon the massed of the people by the use of this kind of money. Mr. Webster had not proceeded very far on thin line of argument before ho was Informed - formed that ho had used his allotted time , ami IIP Immediately quit.

CHAMPIONS PLAY LIGHTNING FAST BALL Itorfrr Pitches Slrnillly nmt Effectively mill Gel * Ailiulriililo .Support , While the Spiders 1'lny it FloIilliiK Clinic. BALTIMORE , Oct. 2. The Champions took a long pull and n pull all together this after noon and beat their ancient enemies , the Spiders , in the first game ot the Temple scries of ' 96. They did it with such ap parent case that the hearts of the Halt ! moro "fans" arc filled tonight with the fondest hopes that the trophy which has heretofore hung too high for the Orioles to reach will at last be plucked and brought to Baltimore to keep company with the three championship pennants , of which Manager Itanlon Is so proud. The weather was everything that could ho desired , but In splto of this fact less than 4,000 people went out to Union park to see the contest. This was a great disappointment to the players , as It was thought that not less than 10,000 would pay their admission fee. The slim attendance Is probably attributable to the fact that the price of admission to the bleachers was increased to 50 cents , nnd that the grand stand was 75 cents. The contest throughout was clean and free from wrangling , although sonic close decisions were questioned. The crowd was good natured - tured , and cheered Captain Tebcau when ho came to the bat. He was compelled to relinquish his place to O'Connor at the be ginning of the third Inning because of an Injury to his back , which will probably not keep him out of tomorrow's game. Mc- Oraw for the Orioles also found the work too hard for him , and Qulnn took third bag In the last half of the same Inning. The game , as an exhibition of scientific ball playing , was a good one , abounding , too , In fine fielding and hard hitting. Jennings' error , the only one for the Orioles , was an excusable one , being a low throw to first after a brilliant stop , and whllo running at top speed. Those the visitors made were very costly , and all but one of them re sulted in giving runs to the homo team. Young was batted freely , while Hoffer pitched a masterly game. There were times when even a long fly would have meant a run for the visitors. The batting order was : Haltlmorc McGraw , third base ; Keelcr , right field : Jennings , short stop ; Kelly , left field ; Doyle , first base ; Reltz , second base ; Brodlo , center field ; Robinson , catcher ; Hoffer , pitcher. Cleveland Burkctt , left field ; McKcan , short stop ; Chllds , second base ; McAleer , center field ; Zlmmer , catcher ; McGarr , third base ; Tebcau , first base ; Blake , right field ; Young , pitcher. First Inning : Baltimore , 0 ; Cleveland , 0. For the Orioles McGraw drove a hard one to Young and went out at first. Keelcr went out , Chllds to Tebcau : Jennings singled to center and took third on Kelly's drive to McGarr and Chllds' error In letting the latter's throw by him. Doyle hit to Chllds , who fell In fielding , hut got to second end In time to force Kelly. A slight kick over the close decision resulted , but It went. No runs. Burkett opened for the Clovclands with a single down the base Hue. McKcan got four balls. Both ad vanced on Chllds' sacrifice bunt offer to Doyle. McAleer hit to McGraw , who throw- to Robinson. Robbie ran Burkett down be tween third and the plate , but McKean took Burkett's place on the bag. McAleer stole second , but Zlmmer struck out. No runs. Second inning : Baltimore , 0 ; Cleveland , 0. Reltz was out , McGarr to Tebcau , and Brodio was retired by McKean to Tebcau ; Robinson singled to center. Ho was forced at second by Hoffer and Chllds to McKean. No runs. McGarr filed to Jennings. Te- beau responded to generous applause by flying out to Kecler ; Keeler took Blake's fly. No runs. Third Inning : Baltimore , 2 ; Cleveland , 0. Tebeau resigned first base to O'Connor , as ho was not feeling well. McGraw singled to center ; Kecler filed to Blake ; Jennings singled to right. Ulako threw to Young In an attempt to catch McGraw at thJrd and Young , falling In this , threw to Chllds to catch Hughey , who was making for second. The throw was wild and McGraw scored , Jenulng going to third. Kelly smashed a ball at Young too hot for htm to field and Jcnnlng scored. Doyle filed to Chllds , Kelly stole to second , Reltz filed to Blake. Two runs. The strain was too much for Mc Graw and Qulnn went to third Instead. Young put up a fly for him. Another fly to Reltr retired Burkett. McKean drove this ball to the center field fence for three bases. Chllds hit to Doyle and was beaten to the bag. No runs. Fourth Innings : Baltimore , 0 ; Cleveland , 0. McGarr retired Brodle. McKean's bad throw put Robinson safeon first. He took second on Hoffer's out , McGarr to O'Connor. Qulnn filed to Chllds. No runs. Jennings and Doyle disposed of McAleer , Again Xlin- mer struck out ; so , did McGarr. No runs. Fifth Inning : Baltimore , 0 ; Cleveland , 0. Burkctt got Keeler's fly after a hard run. Jennings was out , McGarr to O'Connor. Kelly filed to Chllds. No runs. O'Connor filed to Doyle ; Blake went out , Jennings to Doyle , and Hoffcr with Doyle disposed of Young. No runs.

Chllds singled to left. McAleer got four balls. Hoffer threw to Jennings to catch Chllds off second.

They met on the stairs. They tried to pass each other , a physical Impossibility , as the stairs at No. D2 Jefferson street are ordinary East Side stairs , and several Inches narrower than the combined width of Sholem Hudman and Mrs. Mary Powers , relates the New York Journal. The result , as described to Magistrate I ! ran u in Essex Market court yesterday , was both painful and embarrassing. Mrs. Powers brought with her from Erin an Impressive embonpoint , which the atmosphere - mosphero of a frco country has not served to dlmlnsh. Sholem Rudman has thriven upon the bread of Essex Market district until there should ho a law passed requir ing him to wear a gong and to pound the same vigorously when beginning the ascent of any pasage narrower than a freight ele vator shaft.

A distinct fad of last year's dinner season was the tablet craze. It was uncommon at the end of a formal dinner not to have two or three of the company produce tiny crystal flagona or silver boxes the size of a quarter , and offer to their neighbors a tablet of their favorite digestive , soda , pep sin , or whatever It might be. There were fastidious souls who declined with illgnity such proffered physic and frowned Indig nantly upon this medicated course , classing It with the use of the toothpick , a necessity , perhaps , hut alwa > a a private one. There is perhaps moro than a touch of indelicacy In the Idea that , having1 been too greedy at the table , nature must be assisted to avert unpleasant consequences. But the tablets are very dainty , often costly , and sometimes monogrammedl The Cream Colored Front was Wilcox & Draper's Shoe Store now LAIRD , SCHOBER& CO with FRANK WILCOX , Manager.

Clifton Arthur Tate Is a young man from the east , who Is also an amateur photog rapher. He has a negative ot every spot In the whole ot Montana and enough plates to cover the court house. Clifton Arthur Tate recently essayed to add to his collection a picture of Ned Latta's big black bear , and but for an unexpected mishap , that was moro the fault of the pho tographer's devotion to his art than his un- famlllarlty with the camera , ho might have succeeded. He received permission , and with the as sistance of an amateur friend succeeded in dragging the bear to an open lot. Clifton was quite exhausted with the effort , but just the same ho remarked that ho proposed to take as flno a picture for his eastern friends to gaze upon as the camera was capable of. Ho spent a great deal of time In fixing the machine , during which Interval the bear showed unmistakable signs of impatience. Clifton Arthur was BO engrossed with.tho business before him that ho did not notice this. Finally , however , he got things to suit him , and unwinding thirty-five feet ot rubber tubing with a bulb on the end of It , got close up to the bear so that the picture would exhibit him In the act of tackling It with a bowle knife , single-handed nnd alone. Clifton Arthur assumed n most blood curdling pose , whereupon the bear made a right-handed swat at him , which floored the photographer as if ho had been bit by a telegraph pole. Then the bear sat upon the postrate form of Clifton Arthur and nibbled nt hlH red necktie. Then ho danced merrily on Clifton Arthur's chest. Clifton thought that the bear wn8 searching for his heart , BO ho lot forth some vociferous yells for help. This , together with the noise made by his friend , who had dropped the chain , and the exuber ant glee of the bear , drew a large and Inter ested crowd of spectators , who ultimately took the bear away. Clifton Arthur went Into a fence corner to put on his pants and then he came back and gathered up the fragments of his camera and his watch. By carefully putting the pieces together Clifton could get a fair pic ture of what occurred , but ho does not feel enough Interest in the cause of art to do so. Ho simply states that the next picture of a bear which ho takes will be of one tied tea a post. CAIll.I.SMS AVAXTS Til 13 WHOI.K TIMI3.

Rosalind is ono of the characters with which Julia Marlowe's name has been most prominently Identified ; it Is ono of the parts which she loves best to piny ; and It is a role the successful assumption of which has done moro than any other one achievement to secure her present position upon the stage. To BOO her once again putting on "a swashing and martial outside" and pur , . suing her sweet quest beneath the leafy shades of Arden wood , was a surpassing' pleasure last night. She has grown In ar tistic stature since she last played Rosalind In Omaha ; and her work shows a maturity : and a poise which , added to her former gifts , will cnrry her far , Indeed. Mr. Tabor's Orlando Is also well known and recognized for a fine , manly and con- : slstent characterization. Other features of , the performance were the admirable Touchstone - ! stone of Mr. Anson , the artless I'hcbo otj Miss Parks , and Miss Woodward's excellent' ' Cella. This most delightful of nil Shakes- \ pcares' comedies Is beautifully put on by , Mr. and Mrs. Taber , the scene In the forest being especially satisfying. This afternxm "Romeo and Juliet" will bo presented , with Mr. and Mrs. Tabor in the title roles. Toalght , "Much Ado , " Mrs. ' Taber playing Beatrice nnd Mr. Taber Bene dick. Special attention Is called to the altered hours of beginning , which are 2 o clock for the raatlneo and 8 for the even ing performance. After a day spent In unremitting toll at the Crelghton theater , Mr. Mansfield put Iti a good share of last night In a dress re hearsal of "Tho Merchant of Venice. " If ; the condition of affairs brought out by the rehearsal may bo taken as an Indication of the quality of Mr. Mansfield's produc tions next week , Omaha theater-goers may rest assured that a treat Is In store fur them such as they have seldom enjoyed. Never has such scenery been brought to Omaha ; never such properties and acces sories. And the fact that the result of the rehearsal satisfied Mr. Mansfield will bo taken at Its true value by those who know the high standards of that most exacting stage director. ? Reserved scats for the entire Mansfield engagement at the Crelghton go on solo this morning , Numbers were given out yesterday , Insuring the presence of at least ninety purchasers In line when the box of fice opens , All signs point to a largo nalo and a successful engagement. The curtain at the Boyd will ring up at 2 o'clnck for the matlnro this afternoon , and at 8 o'clock this evening , owing to the un usual length of the production In the Julia Marlowo-Tuber and Robert Taber repertoire. "Insharoguo" has been approved OB ono of the prettiest Irish comedy dramas , over flowing with genuine humor , exciting cli maxes ! ) nil true Interest. A pleasing fraturb of the production of this splendid play to bo given at the Boyd , Sunday matinee and ; night , by Blttncr'H Theater company , Is the nlnglng of sweet Irish airs , by the popular Shamrock quartette.
