AMERICAN ATHLETES IN ENGLAND.
Yale nnd Harvard Teams Reach
Southampton In Excellent Health *
SOUTHAMPTON , July 12. The members
of the athletic teams of Yale- and Harvard
universities , who arrived by the American
liner St. Louis this morning- , are in excel
lent health. There was a busy scene on
the Southampton dock when they disem
barked. They -were greeted by the United
States consul , John B. Hopley , nnd a num
ber of personal friends. Captain J. P.
Rocho of the Harvards and the teams- pro
ceeded as quickly as possible to the hotel
where tljey are to remain for the night.
Early tomorrow morning they will leave
for their training quarters at Brighton.
The men -were given a special table in
the center of the steamer's saloon , where a
wholesome training diet was provided
Jiroughout the trip. The presence of a
argo numbr of Yale and -Harvard alumni
on board added Interest to the voyage. The
trainers took the men 'In hand nt the start ,
compelling a regular course of exercise ,
which was carried out faithfully during the
wsek , except when the extreme 'heat pre
vented. A change in temperature came on
Sundnv.
F. Cutting was .master of ceremonies at
the ship concert on Sunday and in the
course of 'tho ' program Mr. Weldcll , chair
man of the graduates , explained the pur-
lese of ! the trip. Ho said the Yolo and
ilnrvnrd men were merely accepting the
Oxford-Cambridge challenge and were not
going abroad -with any claims on the
American championship. College songs by
the team closed Wie. concert successfully.
Walter Camp , who has come to England
xj 'watch the teams , had several confer
ences with the captains and graduate ad
visers. All cheered the American liner
Paris In its old war name , "Yale , " as the
St. Louis passed up the cnannel , conslder-
ng Its moving a good omen for the teams.
Tonight the men are resting on English soil ,
AH nro In prlmo condition and those In
terested feel that unless the climatic change
of the next few days has an ill effect upon
the closely trained athletes they will give
an excellent account of themselves at the
Queen's club.
SI/INQ UP IAMERICA.N ATHLETES.
Cambridge Man CoimlilcrM Them a
Formidable Lot.
LONDON. July 12. President Hunter of
he Cambridge University Athletic club , dur
ing the course of an interview today , said :
"Mr. Shcrrlll originated the Idea of international -
national college athletics with the sugges
tion that Oxford nnd Cambridge issue a
challenge. The sole reason for limiting it
to Yalennd Harvard was because they are
considered above the suspicion of profes
sionalism We have received from them the
greatest courtesy. There has ueen no hitch
whatsoever during the negotiations. It has
ticen a pleasing policy of glvo and take on
both sides , with the happiest results , The
meeting promises to bo a keen struggle ,
rho Americans will probably win the spdnta
mil wo ought to pull off the long events , as
It Is well known the Americans' ' seldom run
a good long race , Thomas and Burke in
the 100 yards and nunrter-mllo will take a
lot of beating , Adams' half-mile time Is
qulto two seconds too good for our men.
Fox may glvo Paget-Tomlinson trouble in
the hurdle and Hooho appears to have
jumped qulto two inches higher than Adalr.
"On paper form the visitors appear to
have n better chance and ought to win.
Some of their performances are remark
able , but America Is a long way off and
tome American journalists have vivid Im
aginations , One-tlfth of a second appears
to them Inconsiderable , but on the track It
is a considerable quantity , if the records
are correctly reported they will probably
win , "

REV. JOHN JASPER AT EIGHTY.
The Celebrated Negro Preacher Who
Still Iimintn "The Sun Do Move. "
In his humble cottage In "Africa , " the
negro quarters of Richmond , a quaint old
clergyman , known the world over for ono
dea persistently preached for fifteen years
on the Fourth of July , celebrated his eighty-
seventh birthday. Pastor of the Sixth Mount
Zlon church , paid $600 a year by his 3,000
mrlshloners , the Rev. John Jasper has made
an international reputation by propounding
, he doctrine , "tho sun do move. "
Somewhat enfeebled by his great age , ro-
atea the Ne > w York Herald , the negro
> reachor spends most of his time in med-
tatlon , a strikingly original and plctur-
eaquo character. John Jasper has a remarkable -
able head. Tremendously high and promi
nent cheek bones under kindly eyes strongly
mark a face of benevolence atfa good nature.
In the pulpit ho wears largo silver specta
cles that add to his otherwise clerical look.
A phrenologist would bo puzzled to decide
vhore hla intellectual bumps Ho , as his fore-
iead commences with protudlng eyebrows
and runs at an nnglo of 45 degrees to the
op of his head , when his cranium swells out ,
only to end in an abrupt precipice.
Newspaper reporters have made him out
wholly Illiterate and grotesque and blog-
aphers of his own race nro prone to picture
him as a learned doctor of divinity. Neither
picture Is correct.
John Jasper does not epeak In the negro
dialect , as ho is often quoted , but In his ef-
ort to talk "proper , " and In the quaint orlg-
nallty ot his expression , no less than his vc-
hemence of gesture , the visitor looking for
amusement finds plenty to Interest him. Of
his ministry Jasper himself says :
"Iwas inspired before I was horn , My
'ather ' told my mother so. She did not
believe much about it until I got to bo 10
or 11 years old , for I was Just as bad as
any other llttlo nigger , but when I com
menced to get big and commenced to notice
I knew that I was inspired and tbo word
of the Lord came to mo llko a flash.
"For sixty years I have been a minister
and I reckon I bavo brought thousands of
souls from perdition. If I haven't It ain't
my fault , I have worked hard enough. "
The text of Jasper's famous sermon Is Ex
odus , chapter xv , , verse 3 , "Tho Lord Is a
man ot war. The Lord la his name. " The
theories advanced are : The earth Is square
and Immovable. The sun rises In the east
and moves toward tbo west and there sets.
The world is flat.
"Tha bible cays tbo sun stood still , " he an
nounces dogmatically. "Is anybody going to
bay the tun was standing etill before Joshua
told it to stand still ? Do you think Joshua
would have asked the privilege if she had
not been moving ? This morning , when the
sun rose , it was over there ( pointing to the
east ) . How , In the name ot God , could the
sun got from that eldo of the house over
to thin ( pointing to the weet ) unless It
moved ?
"Now , Solomon was certainly a scholar.
PO you know ho was tbo man who eald , "The
gun arlaeth and goeth down and hastcneth
tack to the place she moved from. ' It la noa-
eenio to eay the sun does not move. The
man who eays the nun does not move does
not read tbo bible. "
He fortifies himself In the same manner in
bis belief that tbo earth Is squire and flat.

byle ot Pennsylvania ; secretary , Irwln Bhep-
nrd otVlnonn , Minn. ( Incumbent ) ; treas
urer , C. M. Pcarse , superintendent ol

As there Is no known opposition to Hie
candidates mentioned , they wilt no doubt
bo elected unanimously.
Considerable Interest Is being manifested
by members ot the Commercial club In the
Park commt ston and a committee composed
of Attorneys Lambert , Brcen and Murdock
has been appointed to look up the law and
glvo nn opinion on the question of the mayor
and city council appointing the members of
the Park commission. The law has been
changed eo that the power ot appointing the
Park commissioners of South Omaha ias
been taken from the judges of the district
court and given to the mayor and council ,
It Is hold that In this case a law applicable
to Omaha Is applicable here. The question
will bo thoroughly Investigated by the com-
mlttoo and a report inado at the next meet
ing of the club. In case- the mayor and
council have the right to Appoint the Park
board , it Is thought that steps will immed
iately > bo taken to secure n. now commission.
While- the members of the club find no par
ticular fault with the present board , It la
n fact that nil three ot the members reside
In the First ward and a , changeIn this re
spect Is desired. The membership , It is
thought , should bo divided , giving one mem
ber to three of the wards and allowing the
board as n whole to look after the Interests
of the remaining ward. The Impression prevails
vails that now la the tlmo to secure property
for park purposes with a view to having n
llttlo breathing spot In each ward as soon
as ways and Cleans can bo provided. If the
ground Is secured now before prices Increase
the money to beautify these blocks wll
como later. Some members ot tbo club have
an Idea that donations ot land for park pur
poses will bo made by wealthy property
owners If the proposition la placed In the
right light. The First ward has a very
pretty park , but It is thought that then.
should bo similar breathing spots In the
Second , Third and Fourth wards in order
to give the residents of these wards a resting
place near at home. The present Park boarc
has an unexpended balance of $700 , and as
no improvements to Highland park are con
templated at the present time It is though
that this money and SOIM * to be derived later
could -well bo used In securing cholco tracts
to bo Improved.
Vituluct Repair * Up
It Is the old , old story about tbo condition
of the viaducts. Not long ago tbo railroads
repaired the L street bridge , with the ex
ception of a. portion ot the west approach
from which the law exempts them. Com
plaints are dally made about the condi
tion of the flooring of this approach anc
the prompt nailing up of several holes has
prevented accidents. Another dangerous
hole appeared yesterday and before It Is
mended a horse may have Its leg broken.
Repairs to the Q street bridge nro now under
consideration by the Union Stock Yards and
the Union Pacific companies , and It may
safely bo stated that the work ot repairing
this structure will commence as soon as
the estimates of the engineers can bo fig
ured out and the material ordered. While
It has not so 'been stated , It is teared that
the Q street viaduct will have to bo closed
while the repairs are being made on ac
count of the constant Jarring of the street
cars passing over It. This hrldgo is reported
'jo bo in worse shape than the L street via
duct was before It was repaired. It is stated
by these in a position to know that a great
deal of the damage done to the viaducts Is
caused by fast riding and driving. Both
Bridges are provided with large signs pro-
ilbltlng driving foster than a walk , and pro
viding for a penalty of $5 tor each 'viola
tion. This ordinance is not enforced1 and
on this account the bridges are being con-
; lnually racked. The Iron bars , rods and
) Olts have been worked loose by this rack-
ng and for lack of paint rust has accu
mulated In the Joints , weakening the struc
tures to a great extent. Engineers have
stated that if fast driving was prohibited
the bridges would wear a great deal better
and last longer after repairs had been
made.
Change * In 1'ontofllce Force.
Yesterday Postmaster Etter received or
ders from Washington to remove from

nlsslon. Both appointments were made outer

the decision of the Civil Service commis

act at the tlmo they accepted the posl-

The price of hoes has now touched the
ilghest point since the first week In June ,
898. Yesterday's average prices was over
I per 100 pounds , and this Is considered
very satisfactory to fanners and stock rais
ers. All farmers assert that they can raise
logs and make money at $4 a hundred.
As there is now no Immediate chance of
a decided drop in prices the farmers of
Nebraska and Iowa who ship to this mar-
cet will 1)o handsomely reimbursed for the

n July since 1895 have hogs "been " selling
as high as at the present time. Receipts
at the stock yards thcso days are prln-
Ipally from Nebraska and Iowa , and re-
lorts from the railroads are to tbo effect
bat the two states are still full of hogs
n spite of the ( heavy receipts.
Sunday Opening ; Denied.
A report was current In Omaha yesterday
hat the saloons In South Omaha would bo

I.IVKI ) OXAI1.S ANII WIRE.
Remarkable Diet of Josh Dnvla , Hl
Slmmtcli Full of Itnrilnnrc.
Joshua Davis , a patient nt the Wisconsin
State Hospital for the Insane at Mendota ,
across the lake from Madison , had nn Insat
iable appetite for hardware and lived nearly
a year with half a pound of nails , knlfo
blades , hairpins , tacks and pieces of wlro
of various lengths In his stomach and Intes
tines. Leading physicians of Wisconsin say
that the Davis case Is one ot the most re
markable that has ever come to their knowl
edge.
Davla was committed to the asylum from
Sauk county , having been picked up by the
police nt Bamboo on account of his queer
actions. Ho was received at the asylum
last August , after having spent a few weeks
In the Baraboo Jail. Shortly before ho died
ho told the hospital physicians that while
In the Jail ho had swallowed all the nails
and wire that ho could get hold of , partly for
the reason that ho at that time had an un
controllable appetite for them and partly
because ho wanted to kill himself.
When Davis first Informed the physicians
of this they wouldn't believe him and , being
accustomed to hearing nil sorts of strange
stories , attributed Ills odd tale to his dis
eased mind. It was only after ho became so
emaciated that ho couldn't walk that the
physicians began to seriously consider his
confessions regarding the hardware within
him.
him.Finally
Finally a careful examination of Davis"
body was made and the outline of the nails
within the intestines was detected through
the abdominal wall. The foreign substances
In the stomach and Intestines had but very
llttlo disturbed digestion during tbo first few
months of Davis' confinement In the hospital
and this fact , together with the remarkably
rugged constitution of the patient , made the
physicians discredit the story. However ,
when the doctors became convinced that
there was some foreign substance In the
abdomen they determined on an operation.
The latter was performed by Dr. William B.
Lyman , superintendent of the hospital , and
his assistants , Drs. M. F. Clark and Eugene
Chancy. They performed what Is known as
the operation of gastronomy , the stomach
being opened at the pylorlc extremity.
The revelations of the surgeons' knives
were simply astounding. There in folds
of the stomach and the intestines were im
bedded two dozen nails of all sizes , from
a tack to a twenty-penny spike , ten pieces
of wire of different sizes and length and. two
pocketknlfe blades. The spike , -which was
six Inches in length , "had passed out of the
stomach , , nnd lodged crossways in the in-
Lcstines , causing , the latter to adhere to
the'abdominal walls , and forming a sort of
dam , which .prevented the smaller nails
and pieces of wire from leaving the stem
ach. Both the stomach and Intestines
were perforated by the nails , the points of
jressuro from the sharp pieces of Iron
jelng in an advanced state of ulceratlon.
Though Davis had told the doctors that
10 had also eaten some pebbles , none were
found _ .
The terrible condition of the stomach and
Intestines indicated that the man had but
slight chance of recovery. After taking out
.ho naile and other nieces of iron the doc
tors stitched up the stomach ; but Davis
never rallied , and died about eight hours
atcr. The remains were burled in Potter's
Tield near the asylum ,
Davis was a tramp. Ho told the decors -
, ors that ho was born in Indiana forty-four
years ago and had been a wanderer the last
, wenty-fivo years. Ho said that ho had
visited all the principal countries of the
world , and had even been at Manila atone
ono time. Ho seemed to bo fairly well
educated and during the first few months
} f his confinement in the asylum took a
loop Interest in tlio affaire of the world.
When no was committed to the asylum he
weighed about 150 pounds , but at the tlmo
of his death ho had fallen away to n
orltablo shadow. He was flvo feet eight
nches tall.
Davis had boon drinking pure alcohol on a
> rolonged debauch Just before his arrival nt
Jaraboo. During tbo first day ho was In
all , and with an Intense longing for his
avorlte beverage , ho happened to pick up an
old rusty nail and put it Into his mouth. The
as to of the corroded iron seemed to have a
ileasant and soothing effect and finally
Javls swallowed the piece of motal. This ,
10 said , relieved him for a short time , but
ho old thirst returned and Davis hunted up
nether nail. This ho also ate , together with
wenty-two others at Intervals later. Run
ning out of nails ho began to swallow short
ilecca ot wlro , the next best thing , ho
bought. His supply of wlro also gave out
t last and ho took a small pocketknlfo and ,
ireaklng out both blades , swallowed them ,
iy this time lie had completely exhausted
lis supply of metal , ho afterward confessed
o the doctors , and ho began eating small
pebbles and pieces of plaster. No traces of
these , however , wej-o found in his body
when the autopsy was made.
During the last few months of his life
Davis suffered Intense agony ; but he looked
so strong and healthy that the doctors
thought ho was playing 'possum when ho
complained , But terrible as his pain was
most of the tlmo ho rarely spoke of It , Ho
was very melancholy and when he first
arrived at the museum bo said that the devil
and all sorts of hideous animals were tor
turing him. Those delusions , however , left
him after he had been in the hospital a
time , Ho never was refractory , but -was
considered dangerous and was kept in tbo
eulcldo ward.
Superintendent Lyman keeps the pieces of
metal taken from Davis' stomach and in
testines in a email wooden box on tbo desk
of his office and any caller may see them.
They are all in on advanced corrosive state ,
having the appearance of having been In t
moist place for a long time. The steel knlfo
blades eoem to bavo been more affected by
the corrosion than the nails or wire. A
piece of the latter is doubled up and twisted
together end it it were stretched out would
measure ot least a foot , All the wlro la heavy
about the ulto of an ordinary match In cir
cumference. The nails , some cut and some
wlro , range mostly from eight to twelve-
penny.
GIFT OK DIAGNOSIS ,
Kxtruordlniirjr 1oiiir-lauite Opinion
of n Doctor ,
"Some doctors tiave a most extraordinary
gift of dlacnosls , " remarked a clergyman
to tbo Now Orleans Times reporter. "A
very startling example ot that sort of thing
came under my observation a few years
ago and jaado an indelible imcressloa on
[ my mind. A physician with whom I am on
very frlondlv terms had dropped In at mjr
etudy and 1 showed him a letter I hftd Ju.it
received from nn acquaintance In Chicago
touchtnc upon n subject In which wo were
I mutually Interested. After studying the
handwriting closely for n few moments the
doctor surprised me greatly by saying 'that
man has locomotor alaxla. ' I couldn't help
laughing. "You're greatly mistaken , " I
said ; 'he's In vigorous health , quite n noted
athlete , and ono of the brightest younj *
business mm In Chicago. ' 'That may be , '
ho replied , 'but he has locomotor alaxla nil
the same , and I wouldn't glVo him over
thrco or four years to live. ' Ho explained
In a general way that ho based his opinion
on certain peculiarities In the penmanship
and an apparent difficulty In keeping the
writing on the lines ot the paper. I took
no stock in the prediction and was greatly
startled about nine 'months later to learn
that my Chicago friend had suddenly broken
down and was regarded as n complete
wreck. Ho did have the latent locomotor
ataxla nt the very moment of the conversa
tion In my study , and It subsequently de
veloped In Its most appalling form. In a
year's tlmo ho was reduced to a condition
ot almost complete idiocy , and not long
afterward his unhappy llfo was abruptly
terminated by nn accident. The doctor sayi
now that there was 'a good deal of guesa
work' about his long range diagnosis , but I
prefer to attribute It to ono of thcso singu
lar intuitions that generally have a pro
foundly scientific basis. "
