WINNIPEG , .Man. , July Co. ( Special Tel
egram. ) The International cricket tourna
ment began this morning with the ground
rather hard. The weallier was oood but
hazy , making the light bod. The fact that
the visitors are used to matting Instead of
turf bothered them nnd made the scores
small. Tomorrow will doubtlesw * show an
Improvement. The features of the Chicago-
Omaha grime were Wio bowling of Robinson
and Hate , one talcing four nnd the other
llvo wickets. Counsell and Fraser put up
good scores for Chicago , hut the batting
feature of the x3ay was Robinson's faultless
second Inning , when ho put together fitly
runs In a way that roused the enthusiasm
ot the older cricketers. His score contained
tight fours , ono six and four twos. In OVM
ho got one six , and four fours. The bowlIng -
Ing ot Counsell and Davis was terrific.
IMio Minnesota-Manitoba game was chiefly
eventful for t'ho ' bowling ot Godwin , Ram

HEARD ABOIT TOWN.
"It was just a year ago todsy that I
reached Manila as a member of the Astor
battery , " eald George S. Gels , a former
Omaha boy. Gels came down from his homo
at Grand Island to try to ascertain the
exact date when the First Nebraska hoys
will return from the Philippines , as ho Is
desirous ot being among the many thousands
who will bo ready to greet them with
hearty chcor upon their homecoming.
This young man has had a rather event
ful experience. Ho was reared at Grand
Island and began 11 fo as an employe of tha
Palmer house there. Several years ngo ho
came to Omaha and worked In the Paxton
hotel. Ho then wont to Chicago and was
employed in the Palmer house. Later , ho
pushed on eastward and secured a splendid
position Jn the Waldorf-Astoria ot Now
York , He was employed In the cilice when
ho enlisted In the Astor battery nnd was
mustered into the service on May 28 , 1S9S.
"Wo loft Now York June 3 , " said Mr. Gels ,
"and arriving in San Francisco , camped
on the same grounds which the First Ne
braska had shortly 'before ' vacated , until v.o
sot sail for the Philippines. Wo arrived at
Manila on July 25 , and were assigned to the
same division with the Nebraska boys and
many fast friendships were made between
the Ncbraskans the 'fighting westerners , '
aa they were generally called and the boys
of the Astor battery. Before the final charge
was made on Manila wo had become sep
arated , as our battery was transferred to
General iMocArthur's brigade nnd the Utah
boys occupied our former position side l > y
sldo with the First Nebraska.
'ttlow did I llko the experience ? It was
Immense. I became Infatuated with the
Islands , which are richer and moro produc
tive than can even be imagined from the
newspaper accounts given of them. I tried
to get a discharge and would have stayed
there had I been able to do so. Many of
the hoys wanted to remain In the Islands
and several of my acquaintances have since
returned. The United States has really a
wonderful opportunity at hand as a result
of the purchase of the Philippines and this
statement will be borne out by any ono who
has been there , provided the individual
gives his unbiased , unprejudiced opinion. "
Mr. Gels expects to visit for a short tlmo
at his homo in Grand Island and will try
to arrange to bo In Omaha when the soldier
boys return. He has an urgent re/jucst
from George C. Boldt , proprietor of the Wal
dorf-Astoria , to Join him at his country
homo on the Thousand Islands , opposite
Alexandria Bay , prior to the arrival of
President and ( Mrs , McKlnley , who expect
to visit Mr. Boldt a part of this summer.

the Final Service.
NEW YORK , July 25. The funeral of the
late Robert 0. Ingcrsoll took place this aft-
crnoon from Walston , Uobbs' Ferry , whera
ho died Friday last.
No clergyman was present to conduct the
services , there was no music and
there were no pallbearers. The body
lay on a cot In the room whwo ho died.
It was enshrouded In white nnd Just one
red rose was placed on the breast. About
the cot were banks of floral tributes sent
by friends and thousands of bunchta of blos
soms.
The services were held nt I o'clock. Mrs.
Ingorsoll eat bcaldo her dead husband and
besldo her sat her daughters , Mrs. Walaton
H. Brown and Mlsa Maud InRorsoll. They
were very much agitated and wept almost
continuously. Mr. and .Mrs. 0. P. Farrcll
were present and Charles llro.idway House ,
Colonel Ingereotrs oldest friend , occupied
a chair by the t > tdo of the blor. There were
some forty others present and they remained
standing throughout.
The sllenco Was broken by Dr. John Clark
Rldpath , who , In a volco full of emotion ,
said :
"My friends , It Is my very sad duty to
read In the presence of the dead the last
poem written by Colonel Ingersoll , entitled
"Declaration of the Free. " This poem
Colonel liiKcrsoll la ad altered In some of Its
parts only n few hours before ho was
stricken down. "
Major O. J. Smyth , who resides In Dobbs'
Ferry and who was a close personal friend
of Colonel Ingersoll , then , without pre
liminary words , read another extract from
Colonel Ingeraall's writings , entitled "My
Ilollglcn. "
Simple Service Concluded.
Dr. John Ellott of Now York read the
funeral oration delivered by Colonel Inger-
sell over his brother's dead body. This con
cluded the short and simple services. All
except the immediate friends then took a
parting look at the dead and passed out.
After they had gone Mr. llouso arose from
his chair and , as ho Is totally blind , passed
his hand over the face of his departed
friend and' ' said : "Perhaps ho Is better
now. No ono can understand It. "
Mrs. Ingersoll said to him : "Tho colonel
wanted you to put your hand on his heart , "
and suiting the action to the word she
directed his hand to the left breast of the
deceased. Mr. House asked what aho was
going to do with the foody.
"I can't give him up , " she said. "I can't
put him In the ground. 1 can't bear to
think of it. We're going to bring him back
home. "
llody AVI 11 lie Cremated.
The body will probably bo taken to Fresh-
pond , Long Island , on Thursday for crema
tion , but this arrangement is subject to
change.
During the morning there wcro many - visitors
itors to look upon the face of the deceased.
Among them wcro several old colored ser
vants of the family , who had como from
Washington and took four days off or paid
their expenses to do honor to their bene
factor. Among these were two former butlers -
lors of the family. Ono old man , who was a
baggageman on ttio railroad , came from
Long Island ; others came from Chicago ,
Syracuse and Buffalo" .
Many additional telegrams of sympathy
were received today , ono toeing from Gen
eral Miles. Floral tributes -were received
all the morning and there' wcro two rooms
full of them. A photograph of the body
was taken this afternoon , Just as It lay , sur
rounded with these flowers. It took a three-
quarter view of the face.

WASHINGTON , July 25. Following is the
weather bureau's summary of crop condi
tions.
While drouth continues over the western
portion of the Carolines it has been wholly
relieved by abundant rains in Tennessee and
generally In the east and gulf states , though
portions of Mississippi and Alabama still
need rain. Rain Is also needed In southern
Texas , Nebraska , the IJakotas , over portions
of Indiana , Illinois , the middle Altantlc
states and Now England , but upon the whole
the general conditions have been favorable
in the Btatea of the central valleys , lake re
gions and middle Atlantic states. Marked
improvement in the general condition of
crops is reported from the middle Rocky
mountain states and seasonable weather con
ditions have prevailed on the Pacific coast.
Corn would bo benefited by rain in Ne
braska , Iowa and Indiana , but aa yet the
crop Is not suffering seriously In these states
and as a rule has done well. In tbo other
great corn states of the central valleys the
crop has made favorable progress.
Winter wheat harvest la about finished in
the districts east of the Rocky mountains
and continues in Oregon , whcro n.falr crop

hot , dry winds have caused premature ripen

The harvesting of spring wheat haa begun
over the southern portion of the spring wheat
region. Over the western portion of the Da.
kotas very high temperatures 100 degrees
and above proved decidedly unfavorable to
spring wheat. In Minnesota the outlook for
spring wheat Is generally good and harvest
ing will begin this week.
The oat harvest Is nearly completed in the
central valleys and inlddlo Atlantic utatcs
and is in progress in the northern district.
Fair to good yields nro generally expected In
the contra ! valleys. In Wisconsin , however ,
Eomo damage will result from lodging ; and
In Nebraska the crop generally is not as
good ns was anticipated.
Over the greater part of the central and
western portions of the cotton bolt the con
dition of cotton is somewhat moro favorable

WASHINGTON , July 25. The members of
the Second Oregon have objected to the
form of discharges , because It does not con
tain the word "honorable. " It Is said at the
War department that there are three forms ,
"honorable " " honor" and "

the discharge is considered in law and by
the War department as honorable. It seems
that in the blanks used the word honorable

to having it written in if the men desire.

WASHINGTON , July 25. The features of
the cabinet meeting today wore Iho farewell
of Secretary Alger and the presentation of
his successor , Mr. Root. Half an hour after
the cabinet had assembled Mr. Root ap
peared at the White House. Ho was Im
mediately admitted and wna formally pre
sented to these of his new colleagues whom
he had not met.
Ills greetings wcro pleasant aud cordial.
Ho remained but a few minutes , leaving
shortly after noon to catch the 12:45 : train
for New York. When he left the White
House ho said he would return and assume
charge of the War department August 1.
Shortly after Mr. Root had left General
Algcr made his adieus. Ho shook hando
with the president nnd each member of the
cabinet. In saying farewell there wcro
many kindly expressions of regret and ex
changes of well wishes. The cabinet re
mained In session about three-quarters ot
an hour after General Algcr's departure.
There was a general cleaning up of little
odds nnd ends preparatory to the president's
departure tomorrow.
The main topic discussed was the Alaskan
boundary line dispute. Secretary Hay ex
plained the status of the direct negotiations
now In progress between himself and Mr.
Tower , the British charge , nnd said ho was
not without hope that this vexed problem
would bo solved by direct negotiation.
Great Britain now seems willing to con
sider the proposal of the United States to
give Canada the privilege of a port of entry
Into the Dominion , while retaining absolute
sovereignty over the Lynn canal , nnd it is
around this sort of a proposition that the
hope of a settlement now hovers.
The speeches of Sir Wilfrid Laurlcr and
Sir Charles Tupper come up incidentally ,
but no serious attention was given them.
Settlement by direct negotiation will bo the
easiest as well as the most satisfactory
method of disposing of this troublesome
question , and such a settlement , from the
facts developed at today's cabinet meeting ,
is regarded as by no means out of the realm
of probability.
The cabinet also considered an appeal from
Fort Wrangel , Alaska , for help for forty
destitute miners arriving there over the Ed
monton trail. The government advices re
ported that over 100 njoro oases nro to fol
low , and while there Is no specific nppropri-
tlon that will cover the case the result of
the dlscussloa was that means will bo pro
vided by the government to get them , to
their homes.
WORK OF SECRET SERVICE

WASHINGTON , July 25. The thirty-fourth
annual report of the secret service division ,
submitted to Secretary Gage by Chief Wllkle
today , shows that during 4he- fiscal year ended
Juno' ,30 , 1899 , there were arrested for mak-
fhg or passing counterfoil money nnd kin
dred crimes 679 'persons. Of thcso 218 were
convicted and 243 are awaiting action of the
courts. The acquittals -wcro less than ' 21
per cent. Of 877 cases determined at the
close of the previous year sixty-four were
convicted.
New York state had the year's record with
ninety-eight cases , Pennsylvania had seven
ty-seven , Missouri flfty-nlno , Indiana forty-
one , Illinois thirty-five and soon down to ono
each for South Dakota , Idaho and Mississippi.
Neither Vermont , New Hampshire nor Ilhodo
Island had a case. There were 433 natlvo-
bora Americans among prisoners , elghty-
nlno hailed from Italy , twenty-three from
Germany , seventeen from Ireland and eight
from Greece.
The counterfeit money captured consisted
of $55,689 in notes and $20,778 In coin , a
total of $76,467. The list of captured plates
embrace * some ot < the finest workmanship
ever turned out by counterfeiters , Including
these for the famous $100 "Monroo head , "
silver certificates and other $100 plates ; also
.those for $50 , $20 , $10 , $5 and $2 , the latter
the "Hancock" " "
Incfudlng and "Wlndom"
'heads. '
Fifteen now counterfeit notes made their
appearance during the year , but of these only
lwo were considered dangerous and leas than
half a dozen ot these particular notes ever
got into circulation. The report 'touches
briefly upon the famous Philadelphia case
and Chief Wllkle pays a , tribute to Operatives
Burns , McManus , Murphy and Grlflln for
their splendid work in connection with this
particular case.

SSS FEAK OF
I'lncru mill ThliiKH Mo t I.Ialilc to no
btrucU.
In the August Century Alexander McCaba
gives encouragement and advlco to people
who have an excessive fear of being Htruck
by lightning or thunder , as some ot them
ithlnk :
The keen suffering which many undergo
Jiwt In advance of or during a thunder storm
Is of a dual nature. The eense of impending
danger alarms and terrifies ; but there is alto
a depression of spirits which is physical and
real , brought about by some as yet unknown
relation between the nervous system and
conditions of air-pressure , humidity , nnd
purity. The Buffering duo to depression nnd
partial exhaustion requires , from thcno who
are strong , sympathy rather than rldlcuro ,
The suffering due to alarm and fright , how
ever , is unnecessary. It is largely the work
of tbo imagination. To a nervous nature
there la something appalling In the -wicked ,
spiteful gleam of the lightning and the crash
and tumult of thunder. But such a one
should remember that the flash Is almost
always far distant , and that thunder can done
no more damage than the low notca of n
church organ , Counting all tbo deaths from
air the storms during a year , we find that
the chance of being killed by lightning is
less than 1 In 100,000. The risk in the city
may be said to bo five times lets than in
the country. Dwellers la city houses may bo
startled by peals of thunder , but owing to
the great spread of tin roofing and fair
ground connections , there Is very little dan
ger , la the country , if buildings are ade
quately protected , and the momentum of the
Hash provided for , the occupants tuay feel
secure. A good conductor weir grounded Is
necessary in all isolated and exposed build
ings. Barns , especially , when lined with
green crops , should have good lightning-
conductors. The question is often ntkej ;
"Do trees protect ? " The answer Is that the
degree of protection will vary with the char
acter of the tree and HE distance from a
watercourse. An oak is more liable to light
ning-stroke than a beach. The character of
the wood , the area of leafage , the extent
ana depth of root , win determine the lla-
i
blllty to stroke. Another question whlMi l
often asked Is whether there Is danger
Aboard A largo Mcnmnhlp during B thunder
Rtorin. On the contrary , there are few safer
places. Sufficient meui with proper nuporfl-
t rlnl area Is Intcrposrd In the path of the
lightning , nnd Its electrical energy converted -
' verted Into harmless hist and rapidly dissi
pated , Accidents occur chlclly because the
victims iRiiorantly place themselves in tbo
line of greatest ntrnln , And thus form 'part
of the imth of discharge. For this reason , It
Is not wise to stand under trees , near Slag *
clodo to flrcpfaccs or nenr barns. Those who

Fifty years ago tbo railroad freight car
cost $700 to build and had a carrying capacity
of olght tons. Today the least Improved
freight cur costs $1,000 aud carries lUty-fivc
tonu. In this difference the story of the
development of our railroads Is told.
The successful freight car today Is the
steel car , says a I'lttuburg letter to the
Now York Sun , Steel cars were built many
years ago In France , but the only advantage
they had over the wooden cars lay iu the
durability of the material , an advantage
that was offset by the fact that the weight
of the parts necessarily limited the sb.o of
the car , so that for most purposes the
wooden car was the only practicable ono.
The French ears were made of mercliantabln
shapes. The opportunity to use merchant-
ablu shapes , aud thus utilize the everyday
product of its mills , appealed with pccular
force to the Carncglo Steel company a few
years ago. Sample cars were built , but
It was soon learned that such cars contained
too much dead weight , more , even , than
wooden ones , and the project that seemed to
promise the building up of a great Indus
try was reluctantly abandoned. The pressed
steel car Industry had recently begun to de
velop , and It was not long before the Carno-
glo car builders ascertained that a car built
ot merchantable shapes contained a dead
weight nioro than 10,000 pounds greater than
a prcssed-flteel car , whlfe the dead weight of i
the latter was less than that of a wooden '
car of much smaller carrying capacity.
The development of the freight car wa
comparatively alow. The minds of builder
and master mechanics worked together fo
years toward the elimination ot dead weigh
and the constant increase of carrying ca
paclty. The first freight car was a crude
but costly contrivance. Although the wage
of the carpenters and builders employed li
Its construction were only $1.12 < / & a day , the
cost ot the car complete , from wheels to
leaky roof , was about $700. Its carrying ca
paclty ranged from six to ten tons. Human
Ingenuity was constantly at work seeking to
Improve the freight car , but a halt genera
tlon elapsed before the builder was able to
construct a car that would carry 20,000
pounds of freight. The dead weight natu
rally Increased with every enlargement o
capacity , and although car builders foresaw
the tlnio when the huge "weight of the tim
'bers ' underlying the car body -would bring
the increase ot capacity to a halt , they con
ttnucd their work of Improvement. Some
years later cars were built capable of car
rylng 40,000 pounds of freight. Still later
60,000 pounds became the limit , and at las
the SO.OOO-pound car was produced. The car
builder seemed to have reached the limit o
his ingenuity.
The pressed steel car , now a great Pitts-
burg Industry , owes its existence to Charles
T. Schoen , who a few years ago was attachcc
to a Philadelphia car-building shop. He
designed some pressed steel contrivance tor
a wooden freight car , nnd by the success o ]
this" idea was led in the course ot tlmb to
construct * n "car made entirely of pressed
steel , with the exception ot wheels and jour
nals. In the meantime Andrew Carneglo
and his friends had built the Plttsburg ,
Bessemer & Lake. Brio railroad to carry Iron
ere from the docks on Lake Erie to the
Carneglo company's blast furnaces near
Plttsburg. Mr. Schoen , the designer of the
pressed Btccl car , built a number for the
Bessemer railroad , and the success of the
now car dates from the day on which the
first train made its trip to Conneaut , on the
Lake Erlo shore , and returned loaded with
iron ore. The receivers of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad took up the idea , the Penn
sylvania Railroad company followed their
example , and soon an Immense Industry -was
established.
To reduce the dead weight nnd yet in
crease tbo load-bearing capacity of the parts
was a problem that was not solved till the
adoption of steel pressed into shapes best
calculated to bear the strata of heavy loads.
The -wooden car of 70,000 pounds capacity
weighed 35,000 pounds , the ratio ot the
lightweight or weight when empty of tbo car
to us carrying capacity Doing ou per cent.
The pressed steel car of 80,000 pounds ca
pacity weighs 28,500 pounds , a ratio ot 35.62
per cent. Ono of 100,000 pounds capacity
weighs 31,000 pounds , a ratio of 34 per cent ,
and ono of 110,000 pounds capacity weighs
35,500 pounds , a ratio of 32.7 per cent. In
brief , the wooden car that carries 70,000
pounds of coal weighs 35,000 pounds , the
pressed steel car that carries 110,000 pounds
of coal weighs only 500 pounds more. Thu
wooden car carries coal equal to twice its
own weight ; the pressed steel car carries
three times its own weight with 3,500 pounds
to aparo.
Railway reports show that the 80,000-
pound cars ot the Pennsylvania Railroad
company arc built at a cost of JSOO ; It is
estimated that the pressed steel car ot 100,000
pounds capacity costs about $1,000. The life
of a wooden car averages fifteen years , with
$35 a year for repairs , and that the life of a
pressed steel car is fifty years , with 'repairs
costing $10 to $15.

OUR SEVENTY-SECOND YEAR.
The Hstfess snows of seventy-two ills-

Probably nn Arcurato Inference rcgfirdlnB
Oriental conservatism may bo drawn from
a vtolt to ono of their celebrated Turkish
batlm , writes a correspondent of Hie Phila
delphia Record. In view of the Oriental
origin of this form ot bath and of the
further fart that It Is used more generally
by Orlentnl.i than by Europeans or Ameri
cans , I naturally rxpectcil to find something
of extraordinary merit or luxury. Entering
ono of the durst. J was much pleased with
the Oriental character of the Ilrst scenea
large , open court , In the cnlw of which
gtmhed ono of the many refreshing fountains
In Daniascun and around which on nil sides
were raised platfotnis supporting largo com.
blnatlon chair couches UIKW which Iho Ori
entals were reclining sr > me napping , nonio
sipping coffee , sonio smoking the narghlleh ,
some chatting , nnd one going through the
varied postures nnd gestures connected with
the nluoly-nlnu Moslem prayers ho waa
offering.
Instead of being conducted to n private
room , Iu conformity with American and
European views of propriety , the bnthcr 1
expected to dlsrobo before this mlsccllancout
nudlcneo ( and also the outside ) nuJIcnco In
j the street whenever the door Is temporarily
' opened ) , nnd ho then stores his clothes In
I a largo drawer underneath his couch. Thi
publicity of < ho disrobing act Is , however ,
satisfactorily but humorously modified by
the nltPlulants who , by the free use ol
innumerable towels , construct a tcmporarj
screen. After this the bather Is given
\\ojilen sandals with high strips fastened to
the bottom which convert them liUo a. sort
of stilt , which upon the feet of n novlci
constantly threaten to break his nok. Tluu
equipped ho Is conducted to a eo-catled hoi
room , In which the temperature seems to
about equal a hot summer day In Philadel
phia. Ho Is then subjected to a slight rub
bing , his limbs are pulled until they "crack , "
after which , it ho deslrro a shower bath , a
stream of cold water Is aimed nt him , from
an ordinary hose , which smarts him eutll-
clcntly to Justify his sudden exit for anchor ,
Ho Is then wrapped In a number of enormous
'Turkish towels , his head is picturesquely
"turbancd" nnd ho Is conducted to his couch ,
where ho can rccllno until sulDclently rested.
In order to satisfy the curiosity It may pay
to take a Damascene Turkish bath , but for
thoroughness , cleanliness and genuine com
fort and the enjoyment of nil the parapher
nalia with which American Ingenuity has
Improved the crude methods of the Orientals ,
I would recommend the European or Ameri
can Turkish b.ith establishments.
The Damascenes will probably conduct
thcJr baths In the present style for the next v
century. On the other hand in America Im
provement after Improvement will bo made
to niako this exhilarating both still mor
enjoyable and Invigorating. And this , In <

tism and American progrcsslveuess.
