Many ot the public are not aware how great are the proiits made trom directing the game of base ball as a business in some of the cities of the country. For the amount of capitalin- vested there is probably nothing likeit inany Toru of ainusement, The expenses of base ball are, first. in hiring and fitting up of the grounds upon which it is played: next, in the salarles paid the players: third, in the travel- ing expenses of the elubs. None of these re- quire much preliminary outlay. ‘I'ere must A QUATADLY A8 _regards some of them, but the game generally more than pays its way after the season opens, It will be singular if some enterprising manager outside of those ‘who have at present a monopoly of the cream of the business does not before “long devise a wethod of breaking in upon it.

Prof. Bruner, coumty superintendent of education, says that he has not re- ceived the annual report of the directors of districts twenty-one; thirty-six, forty- three and fifty-three. This failure on the part of these officials delays him in the preparation {of his annual reports, es- pecially so in the matter of the appor- tionment of the state and county school funds. He has decided, he says, to with- hold until these revorts are furnish the apportionment = aforesaid. amount of the latter from the stat $14,400.27, and of the county $1,128.65. The professor also states that he is un- able to do the work, which is necessary in the matter of closing up the aflairs of those districts which fiuvu lately been brought into this city by the new law. The charter requires that county super- intendent, president of the board of edu- tion and the school directors shy jraise the school property of the abol- ished districts, so that the expense may be equitably adjusted between all.

CARPENTERS AND CONTRACTORS claims, has not been The Former Claim that They are Not Out on a Strike. There is an absence of carpenters from the street yesterday occasioned by the ful- fillment of the BEE'S announcement on Friday last that the Carpenters’ union did not intend to strike. The announce- ment had been made on Saturday last the carpenters would not go back to- day because of the agreement which had been entered into by a number of the contractors to insist upon nine hours work instead of eight on Saturday. T'his announcement was an erroneous one, and has so been demonstrated by the fact above referred to. Several of the contractors, however, did insist upon carrying out their later agreeement, and three of them, it1s claimed, discharged all of the hands wko were unwilling to work nine hours on Saturday. Among these was the tirm of Norling & Reynolds who employ about Nifty m Some of the latter who were “sten by a BEE re- porter, said they felt the matter would se satisfactorily adjusted and that be- fore long all the men would be at work ain. The carpenters elaim their desire s not to regulate the wages. They con- cede the right of the gontractors to grade their employes; all thi} latter desire be- ing a settlement of thol number of hours on Saturday. Highcard Henney Gets There. Staff Captain Aspinall, with his left cye lying like a little liquid lake 1n the me low shadow of his nose, appeared before Judge Berka yesterday morning ascom- plainant against Bill Lindley, Sam Bang and Highcard Henney for disturbing the services of the Salvation army at the old city hall building Sunday night. He said that their invocations to heaven were answered by a chorus of ‘‘rats” and ‘‘chestnuts” from the illustrious trium- virate facing his honor, and when 1e- monstrated with they spat upon their bands and evidenced an uncontrollable desire to clean out the army of the Lord. He lay his hand on Highcard Henney": shoulder in a way calculated to persuade him to vacate the premises, when Higheard cross-countered with his left and caught Captain Aspinall up along the proboseis with such emphasis and force as to cause the slight discoloration surrounding his right glim, which, by close attention, the court might serve. The court did, and with a nder cloud mantling his brow, he de- clared the stern decree: *‘Henney, you ean go up for ten days, and Bang and Lindley, you can accom- pany him for five each!™ And Whalen drove them out. Taking Papers, Clerk Ijams, of the district court, is ex- periencing a great deal of annoyance be- cause of the infringement of one of the rules of the office by some of the lawy who take filed papers to their oftice This practice obtained pretty generally, several years ago, much to the an- noyance of both court and clerk, so that a rule was laid down that papers should not be taken from theoftice. The rale worked well for a couple of years, but lately it has been infringed upon so that it has discommoded everybody in- terested, Mr. Ijams spoke of the matter to Judge Wakely, and the matter will receive that gentlemun’s attention, R Fell to the Basement. Yesterday afternoon one of the carpen- ters, Monroe by name, whois working on the new building on the corner of Fif- teenth and Howard streets, had the mis- fortune to miss his footing and fall from the se cond story to the basement. He was picked up for dead, but in the cours of time consciousness returned and he was taken to his home. No boues were broken, but he was terribly bruised, and it is possible that he has suffered some internal injury. Building Permits.

As an evidence that the rush of busi ness is being maintained in the police court throughout July, it is but neces- sary to state that thus far Judge Berka has disposed of only 748 cases, with the prospect of making it a full thousand by the 31st. If ar are made at such a tremendous ratio with a fifth of a police force, what would be the result if Omaha had a force commensurate to her size and importance. Sunstroke.

How Ho Made Life a Burden to a ssupercilious Bank Teller, Baltimore American: There in Vashington a small boy, not more than ten years of age, whosc indulgent mother keeps him well supplied with pocket money. This young man opencd an ac- count with the local savings bank some time ago, and on April 1 he had on de- posit there about $35. T'wo or three days later he had a falling out with the teller of the institution. For nearly a week he tried to think up some method for set- tling the score and at last he it upon o plan. He went to the bank and drew out #38) from his store. ‘Then he went over to the treasury building, which is Just across the street, and got his three “tens' converted into thirty ‘‘ones.” Next he proceeded to make out thirty deposit slips, each for one dollar. These d to the bank, one at a time, compelling the poor teller to make thirty separate entries in s books. The next day this young ficnd again drew out $i0. Again he visited the treasury, but this time he had his money changed into sil- 1” rters, bright from the mint. One ed and twenty deposit checks were then prepared, ing numbe made in that big books. Then hund and a i correspond- of entries had to be unfortunate teller's for three days an armistice was declared, but at the end of that time $30 was again drawn out, and this time when the boy visited the treas- ury building it was dimes that he wanted. The regulaton deposit slips were pre- pared once more, and the teller gritted his teeth when he saw that he was again to be made the victim of that boy's vindi- cativene At last the 300 dimes were allin the bank, and the young villam pre- pared to reduce the store of his wealth to nickies, but he was notitied that the bank would insist upon the tnirty days’ notice allowed by law, and for a time the teller rests. S Giving and Taking a Light, Philadelphia [tem: There is a certain variety in the manner of giving and tak ing a light for a cigar that'is intercsting to all smokers. The Italians and French sfully copy the Spanish style, which 1s the most graceful and elegant I, the only possible objection to it t ¥ sometimes curry polite 1" reasonah But, or all,it is simple and fr venougch The Spaniard bows and asks liis neigh: bor for a light. The latter, returning the bow, immediately presents him with his cigar, holding out the lighted end at a slight angle between the thumb and secona finger. The other takes the cigar, and, after vrocuring the needed fire from it, reverses it skilifully and returns it, the entire operation being accompanied by another graceful bow and ¢ S lns hat as he turng to go a The Si ard alw, smokes through his nose. He considers it ex- travagant to waste any good smoke through his mouth, and inveterate smok- ers in all countries agre i The iermin is more polit asking for a light than he is in g mF it. Even with the best intentions, in the latter case his efforts have the appearance of reluctance, Sometimes when s cigar .is smoked down nearly far enough he will throw it away immediately after granting a re- quest for fire. This among the Latins is considered rude and boorish in the ex- treme, and is sometimes regarded positively insultin The aver: a. Englishman hesitates be fore he gives a hght,and finally acts as if he had accomplished a great feat in con- descension, Instead of Tifting his hat, his hand is more likely to go into his pocket, and he is apt to give a parung pufl’ with an air of indignation as he stalks away. Probably this come from the fact that he never asks for a light himself and is al- vays well armed with matches. The merican, of late, seems to be somewhat averse to letting anyone take a light from his cigar. He takes it tor granted that 1t must be much better than his neighbors, and, not wishing to contaminate it, he answers an appeal for fire with a mateh, Sometimes he politely lights the mateh, and in such cases he pre- sents it with an air good enough for any Spanjard. But thissomewhat new custom muay possibly be of Iri ntage. The Irish peasants alwa. mateh for s tireless friend or fellow-traveler, and even in o gale of wind he will hold a lighted mateh in the hollow of his hands and humorously issue orders for the pree- giving or taking of a light for a cigaris a small aff: but little things often reveal a great dealof the character, isposition anid breeding of me It hould always be offered cheerfully and taken politely. In this country it need not be done with that extreme politeness and clegance which may be said to be the exclusive property of the Latins, and chich is probably beyond the r colder and more sober rac should be accompanied by t} lowship which 15 governed by e sense, the foundation of all politeness. -~ Enlightening a Barkeeper. Chicago Journal: A friend told me an _amusing experience the other day which illustrates the ingenuity which a man when he wants a drink very badly will exercise in order to obtain rélief tor his inordinate appetite. 1t appears that a young man approached him on the street, and, telling a pitecous tale of pri vation and woe, solicited suflicient to purchase a meal. My friend, who is peculiarly open to these appeals, much to the deiriment of his purse, the fellow all he had about him in change, 10 cents, telling him that would all event Kkeep him from stary ing Seizing the money the man started off, and w joined” by a com panion who had been watehing develoy ments from a short distance, and the two made off at & round pace in earnest con sultation, and w fallowed out of curiosity by my friend. Thetwo entered a saloon where whisky is retatled at 10¢ a glass, and the first man, throwing down his dime, ealled for whiskey straight. Seizing the bottle, he poured out a leve tumblerful, much to the secret indigzna tion of the bartender, who mutterc something about “taking a bath.”" R ing the glass to his lips, the fellow drank half the contents, when, suddenly stop ping with a look of disgust, he said, “what's the matter with this whisky any- how?" “Nawthin',"" replied the knight of ~the white apron and the Alaska diamond radlight ‘vou must be off yer base there ain't nawthin the matter with it,” ‘‘Let me tusto it said the friend, and taking the glass b drained it to the dregs. 1 dan't s nothing the matter with it."" “Well, [ may be wrong,' suid the other, aad the other two were leaving the saloon when the bartender, whose a 5i<'r had changed into admiration, smd: 00k here, you two chs f you are ever hard up for a drink, come in here and I'll stand treat, I've been in the business for ten years and thought | knew all the ropes, but this tukes the cake " My friend of the same opinion, and said if he had had another dime in' his pocket ho would have bestowed it on the ingenious rogues. - Bleyceles for Soldiers. Longman's M zino says: Mounted infantry sufler in any case under many disadvantages as an effective foree; one= third of the number must be left to take eare of horses, and the remaining two- thirds are hampered by the necessity keeping within a certain distance of their animals; while the horses themsclves form a conspicuous mark for the enemy's artiller; Compare mounted infantry under these conditions with a similar number of men mounted upon ‘cycles, More inconspicuous and more silent, the ‘eyele soldiers could advance with equal pidity and_ease, and the machines, acked in pairs or thrown down in the grass or under trees or hedges, would be quite invisib] at a very short distance, and cyen af en - much less easily damaged than a similar num ber of horses.
