Cricket. A game was played yesterday on the old ball grounds, between the Randallites and Mr. R. Shakeshaft's eleven. The former winning the toss, sent their opponents to the bat. The ground being somewhat sodden with the rain, runs did not come as freely as might have been wished, nevertheless, the “‘8hakes’ managed to put uv the fairly decent score of 53, towards which the coniri- butions of Messrs. Purdon and W. Roberts helped in no small degree. ‘I'he Randallites began their Innlngu in first rate style, but be fore mnn’ runs had been made, a heavy shower of rain necessitated a break for shel- ter. When play was resumed the condition of the ground was such as to preclude all ibility of a finish, under snything like rable conditions, This belng evident it was decided to make the game a ‘‘draw.” This was done, but not before a “‘snaky shooter” disposed of Mr. Taylor.

The Demand For Money Good For This Time of the Year, INTEREST RATES RULE EASIER. New York Exchange in Good Supply With Moderate Demand—For- eign Bills Dull and Weak —Longs Anxious. Brightening Up. CHICAGO. August 27.—|Special Telezram to the Bek.|—Bankers Generally report a good demand for money for this season of the year, with a good supply of loanable funds on hand. L'here is some little inquiry fromn board of trade operators who anticipate very considerable grain and hog products on the 1st of September, but these demand, are not pressing and applications are readily ac- commodated. Shippers of erain and provi- slons nave been moderate borrowers, mainly in the way of sales of exchange or loans for short dates. There is counsiderable money being forwarded to the Interior, chiefly to graln and live stock districts In the west and outhwest, with a zood proportion consigned through commission houses. Lumber dealers were not inclined to borrow to any extent as trade is dull and they are not enlarging their stocks much at present prices. Wholesale merchants are offering a little more paper and are readily accommodated. In other de- partments of trade there is some inquiry for money but generally in the way of small loans. Rates of interest are & little more favorable to borrowers of large sums, but no concessions to amount to anything can ba noted, ranging at 5@6 per cent for call, and 4@6 per cent for time loans., Very little paper s offered on the street and rates of interest show little change from those current at the banks. Advices from eastern financial centers in- dicate a steady feeling in money, market rather tirm, with rates of interest ranging at 5@@b per cent, European advices denote no particular cm"‘f. in that quarter. Money apparently is in good supply and interest rates unchanged. Reports of “the condition of government banks in Eurove show slight uctions in specie. New York exchange was 1n good nup‘lwly throughout the week, while the deamand was moderate. The mar- ket was easy and sales were made at 50@b0c discount per $1,000 between banks, and closed with sellers at 50c. Forelgn exchange has ruled dull and weak throughout the week and sales were limited. Considerable gold was ordered from Europe. Shippers sixty days documentary bills on London sold "at $4.79@4.79% and closed steady at $4.79. ‘T'he New York stock market was greatly unsettled during the week just closed and prices ruled irregular and lower for most of the leading properties. There was consider- able desire to reulize on behalf of the;*'longs’’ who have been carrying stocks on borrowed funds, and this has been a decidedly weak feature. “‘Shorts’” added their assistance to the depression and enlarged thair lines to some extent during the early part of the week. ’l‘mdinf was confined alinost ex- clusively to Wall street, operators as outside parties were not inclined to trade in stocks toany extent. ''heearnings of the leadipg rallroads still show an increase over the cor- responding timo last year, yet there is not much disposition to purehase stocks, espe- cially of railroads extending through sections of country where the crops have suffered from drought and bad weather. Foreign op- erators are trading sparingly at present and American securities quiet and easy in the leading markets abroad. Sales on the New York stock exchange for the week were only 1,605,000 shares. Up to last night there had been sold 87,000 shares Western Union ; 30,000 shares Union Pacific: 16,000 shares Omaha; 44,000 shares Northwestern ; 353,000 Réading and 135,000 Delaware, Lackawanna & West- ern. As far as speculation is concerned, the pro- duce market has exhibited less life than dur- ing any week previous, mainly in sympathy with the general dullness which prevails in all the leadinz produce markets in this coun- try and Europe. The adoption of the new commission rules may huve curtailed busi- ness slightly, but the general impression pre- vails that the absence of the leading operators from the principal markets, the unsettled feeling in stocks, and the contlicting wild statements regarding the yield of grain in Kuropean countries, have combined in a measure to check speculation operations temporarily at least. Operators evidently are inclined to hold off until A more settled state of affairs exists. The shipping demand, how- ever,has boen well maintained, and stocks of whea corn and provisions - have been further reducod, while sup- plies ot other small grain were enlarged owing to producers selling freely. ‘The export movement in grain and provis- fons continues on a liberal scale, and _all articles were wlllel{ distributed. The weather was unpropitious for threshing oer- ations in the northwest, but no serious re- sults to grain have been reported. Advices regarding the benefit to the corn crop by ralns are unsatisfactory and conflicting, and apparently of little interest to trade. Ar- rivals of grain are moderately free at all western markets, and live stock also have arrived In liberal numbers. The packing of the west is progressing slowly and some- what below the returns of the corresponding time last year. e Two Laborers Kille 87, JosepH, Mo, August [Special Telegram to the Bek.]—Ben Scott and J.

A few minutes later another fire from a similar cause occurred at the fruit stand, corner Thirteenth and Farnam streets, resulting in nominal damages.

Trip of the Delegates to Lincoln Yes- terday, THE CAPITAL CITY'S GUESTS. Visiting the Charitable and Penal In« stitutions of the State—General Brinkerhoff's Speech—The Return Last Night. The Visit to Lincoln, Lixcory, Neb., August 27,—[Special Telo- gram to the Bek.|]—When the excursion traln from Omaha yesterday reached Lincoln it found a thousand people and carringes enough to accommodate five or six hundred people waiting with open arms to receive the national convention of Charities and Correc- tion. When, therefore, this large concourse of people saw that not over one hundred del- egates comprised the excursion, they were excusable if a shadow of disappointment crossed the united face of the reception com- mittee. Lincoln had, in fact, made gJaborate and careful preparations to receive the delo- gation, and many labored under the linpres - ston that even the preparation made would be insufficient, and as a result Lincoln was more than prepared to receive its distin* guished visitors. The carriages, or as many 100 L. E.

Legislators acting upon these principles will be in the line of safe procedents, and will be more likely than in any other way to s satisfactory to themselves and useful to the state. Return from Lincoln. At 7:40 last evening, the excursionists of the Charity and Correction conference returned. There was not an accident to be recorded on the whole trin but num- erous incidents of good will and welcome at every place through which the train passed. At Lincolu the reception was right royal. The different state institu- tions were visited, lunches were served, a dinner given and in fact the guests of the capital city of Nebraska yesterday have not words at their disposal to ex- press their appreciation. At the Home of the Friend Mrs. Manley, the super- intendent, made an address which is highly spoken of by all the visitors. The welcomes of Governor Thayer, Mayor Hon. T. M. Marquette were in nce with the well known ability of these gentlemen, In the afternoon gession when General Brinkerhofl’s paper on convict labor was discussed the delegates report a decided opposition to such employment. They said in inter- views last might that the unanimous opinion was in favor of General Brinker- hoff’s views. In fact the conviet labor system, they said, was the only nb{vulion they had to'the conduct of the Nebraska penitentiary. As the excursionists alighted the Second infantry baud played ‘Weather Indications.

For lowa: Fair weather in eastern portion, local showers in western portion, winds gen- erally southerly, slightly warmer.

Here is an extract, credit for which is due the Pittsburg Dispatch: *‘So you eat coal, do you?" said a smart High scheol girl in Hagau's a few nights ago to the beardless young man with a high collar who was buying the ice- cream, 'Aw, eat coal? What do you mean, Miss Ethel?” replied the unsophisticated youth with astonishment. “Why, I see that you take vanilla fla- voring,”’ replied the High school girl with a smile. “Weally, Miss Ethel, 1 don’t, aw, ex- actly understand you,” the young man with the high collar reponded. “Why, vanila flavoring is made almost entirely from coal tar,” said the smart high school gir], and she was just start- ing with: “Why, we learned all thatin our chemistry class last ——" when the fire bell commenced ringing, andshe stopped for sume reason or other, and an inventory of all she knew was iost. The vunilla idea was a good 3, and & re- porter asked Dr. F. L. Slocum, the chem- 18t, about 1t “Is vanilla extracta wvroduct of coal tar?” said Dr. Slocum. ‘‘Why, of course ° it is, and a better articlo is furnished from coal tar than from the bean itselt Vanilla is made from tolulo, one of the products of conl tar, It is used for flat oring ice-cream and confectionery, a 18 & chemically pure product, “whiok vegetable vanilla extract 18 not, ‘There are a good many products from coal that the majority of people know nothing of,” continued Dr. Slocum, ‘“Their number will gointo the thou sands, and _research iuto this particular branch of inorganic chemnstry is bring- ing new and rich rewards to scientis every year, One of the hydro-carbons distinctly produced from coal tar is ben- zole. This is tho base of magenta, re and blue coloring matters, and of the o1l of bitter almonds. This oil formerly came entirely from the vegetable product from which it takes its name; but now itis to [ lnr‘}u extent made from_benzole, and chemically pure product is secured. T! vegotable o1l of bitter almonds contains a certain amount of prussic acid, which is a poisonous substance. Toluene or tolulo is another product from coal tar, which is the buse of a great many chemicals, Benzoie acid, which used to be mado almost .entirely from plants, is now remhlfi made from toluene: “arbolic acid is another vroduct of tolulo. The latter is n colorless tluid with a smell very much like crude petroleum, while carbolic acid and salicylic acid, two of its products, are far from being sweet- smelling compounds. Yet this same tolulo is the basis of a number of ver{ d fragrant products, Wintergreen oil much purer than from the plant, an generally preferred by confectioners and others who use it, is one; oil of mon, cinnamic acid and oil of among the middle products wh gread demand.” As yet the products of coal tar have not been made use of for medicines to any gruut extent, except as disinfectants: ut, from experiments now going on, it is hoped to procure pure quinine from Chinoline, one of the coal tar products; and scientists say that it is only a ques- tion of time when all alkaloids known and probably others not now known, will be made from coal tar, It would take a good-sized book to even begin to give an idea of the commercial products alone of coaltar. Nearly every know color, except cochineal red and in. digo blue, are made, and the latter was roduced ufter nine years of experimont y the eminent German scientist, Byer, of Munich, but the manufacture was so expensive that it has never been done ex- cept for scientific purposes. The leg- wood and madder dyes of our grand- mothers’ days sre rarely seenin the mar- ket now owing to the cheapness with which they are manufactured. Rod ink, which formerly was made almost exclu- sively from carmine, is now made from ebsind, one of the numerous coal tar progeny. ———— Our Millionaires. M anchester (N. H.) Union: The num« ber of millionaires in the country has steadily increased, and the humber of poor men has been made to increase with them, though in a ten-fold ratio. The almshouse records show this latter fact, and a recent statement of the num- bor of millionaires, even n New York city alone, indicates the cor- rectness of the former. There are scores of men there whose wealth ranges from $1,000,000 to 310,000,000 each, and many who go beyond either of these fig- ures. John Jacob Astor is probably the wealthiest man 1 the metropolis, his oszessions being estimated at $200,000,- 80!), Jay Gould is thought to come next in rank, and there are those who judgu him to be the wealthiest of the two. Es. timates as to other New Yorkers are in- teresting. Cornelius Vanderbilt $100,000,- 000; W. R. Vanderbilt, $900,000,000; Rus- sell Sage, £60,000,000; Winslow, Lanier & Co., $30,000,000; D. O. Mills, Whitclaw Reid’s father-in-law, $20,000,000; Pierre- pont Morgan, §18,000,0%; Bob Garret, 20,000,000; Fred Vanderbilt, $15,000,0005 Sidney Dillion, #10, ;. Addison Caminack, $8,000,000 the Standard oil man, $10,000,000; H{ Rockafeller, his brother, $8,000.000; Au- ust Belmont, $20,000,000; Cyrus W. Field, 10,000,000; Deacon 8. V. White, member- clect of the new congress, $7,000,000; R. P. Flower, $6,000,000; Wash Connor, Ja Gould’s old broker, who has just marrie the divorced wife of the ex-lottery king Simmons, $3,000,000; Victor Newcomes, $4,000,000; Henry Hart, who is manipula- ting Pacific Mail, $10,000,000; Oswald Ottendorfer, editor of the Staats Zeitung, $5,000,000; James Gordon Bennett, of the Herald, $10,000,000, Austin Corbin, $80,~ 000,000; Erastus Wiman, $3,000,000. B Every day the valuo of newspaper ad- vertising becomes apparent. Only a day or two ago A lost canary bird flew into the composing room of "the Republican at Darlington, Wis., while a compositor was setting up an advertisement for it. e Thero is a sandwich war in New Yory. The abundance of free lunches has drawn trade away from the sandwich dealers, for a man will not pay 6 cents for a sandwich when he can go next door and for 5 cents have a sandwich with a glass of beer and a pickle thrown in. Rates are now 3 cents, with a strong supply and weak demaud. afew tunes. Frof. Gillespie, of the deaf and dumb asylum, and his estimable wife,congratulated themselveson the suc- cess of the excursion, for they were prominent in having the conference meet ere. Smith on Prison Contract Labor. Nicholas Smith, of Jonesville, Wis., member of the state board which has the management of all the charitable, penal and reformatory institutions of the state, is attending the national conference of charities and correction, and on the question of contract labor in prison, gives the experience of his state as fol- lows: We have tried both the public ac- countand the contract system in Wiscon- sin and the advantages are altogether on the side of the contract system, For in- stance, before the latter plan was adopted, it required an annual appro- priation of from $25,000 to $40,000 to pay off the indebtedness of the prison. It cost about §150 per year for each con- vict's support per annum, and during the nine years when thie public account system was in yogue, the state lost in the manufacturing department about $30,000, But since the adoption of the contract system, the account stands differently. In the past nine years under that plan, the total earnings of the prison have been about $330,000, the labor being leased for 50 conts a duy per each conviet. The consin prison is now not only nearly self-supporting, but the fact remains that there never was a time in the history of the state prison when it was in a better condition in every respect than can be named than it is now; and everyone who 18 acquainted with the prison will cor- roborate the statement that the work of reform, if reformis a possible thing in prison, has been as progressive and hope: ful under the contract system as under the old system when the prison labor was practically non-productive. We have no trouble with the prisoners who work for the contractors, The latter are not allowed to ill-treat the prisoners in any manner. The discipline of the prisoners is entirely in the hands of the prison authorities, 80 that the convicts do not feel that they are under the domi- nation of task-masters. This is the way the contract system works in Wiscon and it is by all odds the best ev adopted, both for the state and the con- viets, by Local Charities, the Themes. _Addresses. upon the organization of M.
