John R , Webster Delivers an Address at
Silver Headquarters.
CROWD INCLINED TO BE BOISTEROUS

'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.

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

by Ilrodie , Chllds to McKean. Brodlo stole

Ono run. A line fly to Jennings retired
Burkett. McKean foul filed to Robinson.
Chllds singled to left. McAleer got four
balls. Hoffer threw to Jennings to catch
Chllds off second. The latter clearly used
Interference In pushing Hughey away from
the base and should have- been out , but
Sheridan would not allow It. Zltmner's
double to left scored Chllds. McGarr
struck out. One run.
Seventh inning : Baltimore , 3 ; Cleveland ,
0 , Qulnn went out , McKean to O'Connor.
Kecler sent out a hit to McKean , Jennings
doubled to left. Kecler scored on Kelly's
out , Chllds to O'Connor , Jennings taking

scored Doyle. Brodlo filed to McAleer.
Three runs , Jennings made a beautiful
stop of O'Connor's grounder and threw him
out at first. Ulako hit to Jennings and was
safe by Hughcy's low1 throw. A fast double
by Reltz , Jennings and Doyle retired Blake
and Young. No runs ,
Eighth inning : Baltimore. 1 ; Cleveland ,

TOO FAT TO PASS.
A Corpulent I'lilr AVoiluocl on n TPIIC-

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.
Mrs. Powers was coming down the stairs
carrying the family pitcher. Sholem was
tolling painfully upward with a scuttle of
coal. And thus they met.
"Go back , " said Sholem ; "my load la
heavier than yours. "
"It Is easier to back down than to back
up , " retorted Mrs. Powers.
"If you were not so fat you could turn
about , " sneered Sholem ,
"If you were to try turning about wo
should bo after having the roof tumbling
about our ears , " retorted Mrs. Powers.
"For the last tlmo I warn you , " said
Sholem , turning pale ; . "BO back. "
" " said Mrs. "BO put
"Niver , Powers ; your

Then they proceeded to violate that law
of nature which prohlolty'two ' solid bodies
occupying the samu space at the same time ,
The wall groaned , the 'ptaljTrall ' creaked , the
Powers family pitcher" w"iB } sacrifice * ! and
the Rudman coals were scattered over three
flights. .
And then they stuck fin the passage.
Ity the united efforts , of half a dozen pow
erful tenants the stalra were saved.
Mrs , Powers and her complaint arrived In
court first. Justice IlrAnn cast a glance of
severity on Rudman. '
"You should have babkert down , " ho said ,
"and to stimulate your memory on future
occasions of the kind I flno you (5 ( , "

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 „

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.

tier and opened to security and peace an
empire of unlimited natural resources.

genuine characters belonging to the theater
of the pages of passing history , thnt the
exhibition was to represent , ho particularly
drew on the remnants then existing , and
now thoroughly passed away from the his
tory of Nebraska the blanket Indian , the
cowboy , the buffalo and the wild , bucking
broncho. Ho Inaugurated the exhibition

AMUSEMENTS.
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. During this engage
ment , which Is for ono week , the many
adinlrera of this company will IK > riven an ,
opportunity to see them display their ar <
tlstlo ability In an entirely new repcrtolrq
of successful plays. Rceervcd si'alw will bfl
placed on ealo at 9 o'clock this morning' .
