THE OMAHA
PATRIOTISM HAS FULL SWAY
Omaha is Ennltpad in Saturnalia of Gun

JULY FOURTH IS A GLORIOUS DAY
An I'liriiuil Oli-hriilloii. lull (irnrriil
On I (toil r I ti k of Independent IiIi-hn
In Wlilrh Xnlsr- mill I'yrntreli
1 nil's Arc (,'lilef Pcuturcs,
Tho young twentieth century Idea sought
to show yesterday that it needs no In
struction In tho art of shooting. It bor
towed fho public car without let or ask
ing and played on the drum thereof a
tattoo of crackers.
The man of (sentiment whose youth lies
burled wltli n century now dead rejoiced
that the Fourth nowadays is as uolseful an
avowal rj of old. Tho man of nerves
inauageiT somehow to get nlong. The
mnyor who had granted by proclamation a
plenary Indulgence to small boys thought
of tho day he bestrode his horse at Win
chester and smiled nt each explosion.
I 'or mill Ccli-lirntloii,
Thero was no oration In Omaha, no read
ing of thu words of Jefferson, for tho city
felt Itself too multitudinous to assemble In
one place. Many an Omaha declaliucr,
however, overhauled au old political ad
dress nnd presented It in country towns.
As for Omaha it raado a noise and throw
Ilro Into tho nlr.
Thanksgiving, handicapped by tho football
game, is coining to be no totter than second
for tho reunion of klufolk, and countless
family parties proceeded under parusolB
yesterday to cool spotB. At Jlanawa those
who swam or splashed Invaded tho water
by plunge or cautious steps; at Hauscom
park every trco shndid i tablecloth nnd
ut Krug's there wus cheer for tho thirsty
city iiweiier.
canvass of Ilro works stands disclosed
that more explosives were sold In Omaha
this year than ever before. Tho dealers
say nlso that tho public Is purchases t
better grade of goodo than over before
"From my observation tho flrectacker Is
doomed," Mild an upper Douglas btreot
merchant. "Illank cartridges arc the
coming rago and even cow overy messenger
toy, arbiter of fashion among his kind,
carries a rovolver Inside his shirtwaist.
Tho firecracker Is too slow for boys
nowadays. They don't want to watch and
wait for tho noise. Wo aro selling
great many or tneso canc-Uko weapons
also with a reccptaclo for a cap at the bot
torn."
I)uv of Sport.
Tho sffortlng fcaturo yesterday was base
hall which proceeded on every lot, a na
tlonal gamo on a national day. Tho play
ers ranged through every grado from the
leaguo team to the West Omaha Juniors.
At Manawa tho Union Pacifies, with
lineage running back to tho famous old
nlno of thRt name, contested with tho
Council IHuffs Urowns. Tho IJrlcklaycrs,
the South Omahas In now suits, the
Athletic association members, everybody,
bluo blood and gutter bred, played tho
greatest gamo on earth. On Vinton street
tho leaguo team drew n double audience
morning and afternoon, In tho fashion of
tho old days.
Thero was n notablo dearth of fires and
accidents during tho day. None would
accuse tho young American of being care
ful and his comparative Immunity can only
bo charged up to happy chance.
OLD It YE. AND IIOMAN CANDLE
This I'ntrlot Tries Out Tito Kinds of
Fireworks.
A pipe, a Roman cnndlo and six drinks
of old ryo helped ono loyal American to
havo a rousing time yesterday afternoon
This celebrating citizen afforded anniso
mcnt to hundreds of pedestrians on Lower
Farnam street.
After caring for tho wants of bis Inner
self tho man ventured Into tho stroet. II
was smoking a large briar pipe. The pip
was a poor pilot. It steered him over
courso as circuitous as one of tho Wizard
Herrmann's favorite twisters.
Ho fell over several fireworks stands and
scared halt a dozen firecracker girls Into
hysterics. Ho was warned so frequently
concerning tho danger of bringing his pip
and fireworks together that ho mado up
his mind to try it on.
Tho celebrant purchased tho largest Ro
man candle he could find nnd stuck its
danger end into the bowl of his pipe. Thero
was no falso alarm. A pipe flow Into th
air and balls of fire wore directed toward
pedestrians.
Men ordered tho follow to throw the
candle Into tho street, but he had idea
of bis own. Ho waved tho flro-splttlng tube
In glee nnd uttered three cheers for Abrn
ham Lincoln.
When the fun ceased the man began
vain search for his pipe. After giving up
tho hunt be tried to buy somo more fire
works, hut the dealers in explosives dldn'
propose to repeat tho firing on Fort Sum
ter nnd tho patriot's celebration came to
an end.

In Omaha was nt Krug's park. At 10 o'clock
In tho morning people woro pouring

brought reinforcements, until at 5 p. m.
fully 6,000 peoplo woro enjoying tho many
forms of amusement afforded at this resort.
Tho morry-go-round was kept In motion
throughout tho afternoon and Its beasts of

throng, listening to the concert program by

Many prominent Omaha people paid tholr

supplies for one of the most elaborate dis

tent the thousands of pleasure seekers Into

numerous and capable of affording tho best
of protection.
As I'nrkncsi' came on It became apparent
that the storm was on for tho night and
that all of the attractions planned would

remained to enjoy In the park houses tho
dcllclously cool atmosphere after the heat

It was an ideal celebration of the na

Thoro was uo formal celobrdtlon at this

tho day In his own way. Tho laws of tho
park absolutely prohibited fireworks nnd
those who sought recreailon In the shady
groves of this park wore not annoyed by
tho continuous cnnnonndlng heard else

countless picnic parties, and tho basket
larder was everywhere in evidence. No
music was provided except tho offerings of
a colored male pianist In tho pavilion. Tho
boats were kept busy, however, throughout
tho day and every shady nook was the
rendezvous of a quiet party bent on plcutc

Considering the extent of the bombard
ment, tho day was remarkably free from
accident. It was almost oqual to the bat
tlo of Matanzas, wherein tho fatalities wero
limited to one mule. About tho only effect
of tho thousands of explosions of gun
powder seems to have been tho raising of
a thunderstorm, which came na a grateful
relief after the heat of the day.
That there were not moro accidents Is
probably duo to the fact that tho population
of Omaha expanded, going to tho nclgbc-rlng
parks and lakes In quest of cool and qulot,
thereby reducing tho actual Inhabitants of
tho business center to a fow hundred mes
senger boys, hotel nnd restaurant employes
and' others doomed to stay at home. Thcso
did tholr best to make tho welkin ring, and
In a measure succeeded, but their numerical
weakness was not conducivo to aocidents.
At the police station an extra detail wan
In readiness all day to respond to hurry
calls and tho surgeon had his bandages,
hlB todlform and bis thread and needles
laid out. All preparations wcro made for
tho accident that didn't happen. The spe
cial detail sat In the captain's anteroom and
told stories. Across tho hall tho doctor
cocked his feet on the operating table and
read "To Have and to Hold," by Mary John
ston mid Pony Moore.
At 3 o'clock tho telephono rang and Desk
Sergeant Hnvey sprang cngerly to tho ro
celver, but instead of taking a report of a
boy having his arm blown off by a prema
ture explosion. It was to record the theft
of fifty pounds of brass from Jacob MIllor'B
Junk shop. An hour later thero was an
other Jlnglo. of thi bell, and this time the
sergeant wroto down somothlng about n
horso dying from tho heat. Still later In
tho day J. M. Walters called up to report
tho theft of an alligator skin pocketbook
containing $20 from his rooms In tho rear
of the cigar store at 2717 Leavenworth
street.
These wero tho Incidents which broke tho
raonotouy of tho day at police headquarters.
They mado up tho ordinary routlno of the
department, and anyone of them might have
happened JUBt as appropriately on any other
day In thu year. Taken nil In nil, It was
nn Ideal day for the exchange of reminis
cences, and tho bluccoats mado tho moat of
It, while tho police surgeon finished "To
Havo and to Hold" and Is now rendy to ro
turn It to its ownor.
Dut toward night the glorious Fourth got

A. J. Love of this city yesterday won the
first handicap golf tournament against
bogey playxl at thu Omaha Couutry club
In a field of twenty-nine entries, tils handi
cap was eighteen strokes, nnd he beat
bogey five up In tho eighteen holes of tho
contest, J. 1). lUlim, with a handicap of
Ave strokes, came second by one up, while
T. L. Davis, with nine strokes, played even
With bogey for third plate. Fred Hamilton,
with Mue, and John W. Rdlck. with thir
teen strokes handicap, tied for fourth
honors, being defentcd by bogey ono down.
Thy other players rai.gcd from there on
to nine down and carried handicaps from
scratch to eighteen strokes.
Oroat Intercut hiid centered In this Fourth
of July golf carnival and a large crowd
attended. Expectations would have been
fully realized had It not been for the ralu
which put a stop to matters In the early
evening. Thli necessitated the postpone
ment of four o; the Ave cvcnt3, The
ladles' handicap tournniufnt ug.ilnst bogey,
the putting contest, the approach competi
tion and 'he d.'stnntL- driving match will
all bo held on Saturday afternoon ami tho
lnrgo number of entries which had been
cceived fur theso ovents will be htld till
then for additions,
Hurry Lawrlo projected and nrranged the
affair und also had charge of the handi
capping. This gavo general satisfaction,
thro being but one or two cases In which
players were either favored or too heavily
bufdencd. ThlB samo contest was also of
great benefit In Giving a general lino on
the local Couutry club players, So many
of thm havo never before been brought
Into competition nt one tlmo nnd their geti-
eral merits can In tho future be more
accurately measured. Hence In events to
come handicapping will be reduced to a
most dcslrablo exactitude and fairness.
Cruel.M Full Heforc Houry.
A feature ol tho tournament was the gen
eral fate which befell tho better players in
ho club. They had supposed that playing
against bogey In match play, In which
tho contest Is for the number of holes won,
would bo ns slmplo a proposition ns going
against tho same opponent medal play,
whero tho total number of strokes for tho
cntlro distance Ib counted. They discovered
that It was not. In medal play the total
bogey Bcore for these links Is Bevonty-uluo
nnd several local golfers play right around
close to this llgure all the time. Hut In
match play It Is dllferent. In order to got
any edgo on bogey It Is necessary to beat
Its scoro on Individual holes, That means
that par golf must bo played, or tho very
best possible. Now, bogey Is In Itself a
pretty stiff proposition, never exceeding
par by more than one Btroke to a hole, nnd
to cnunl It Is n great achievement. There
Is probably no ono In Omuha who can beat
bogey at tho Country club nnd that Is what
they wero trying to do yesterday. No ono
did on an even basis and only two did with
handicaps, which wero large
William J. Foye. who wou tho Douglas
county cup competition Inst Saturday, was
started at seralch, on even terms with
bogey, and .the Ycsl wore given from five
to eighteen strokes 'each. Foye has beaten
bogoy at medal play, having tnaMo" tho
courso In seventy-eight, but" yesterday he
was three down to his opponent. Handi
caps aside, however, he played the best
card of the d.iy. beating Rahm, tho next
best real scorer, by two up. It did not win
him a plnce, however, for ho was on
scratch, many strokes behind tho others.
Himv thf Ilmiilli'itii Kiiiin.
The stroke handicaps woro scattered over
the dllferent holes In regular system. Men
having live strokes would have ono oil each
of ftvo certain holes, etc. Tho system was
received with high favor by the club nnd
nlavors. and will .bo printed on the back
