Nrw Yonk, Sept. 19.—[Speclal Telegram to the Bek.]—While the league has been working 8o hard to perfect its brotherhood, little attention has been paid to the quiet move being made by the American associa- tion In the same direction. Though they made no outward show of what they were doing, the fact tuat they now have a brother- hood neatly, If not quite, equal to that of the leaguo cannot longer be denied. Notlongago & quiet meeting was held, and W. H. Helbert was elected president since which time the best men of the assoclation have joiued in the brotherhood, Much care has been taken a8 to who was admitted and only men of &ood character may hope hereafter for the protection of the organization. Ever since the association adopted Voo Der Ahe’s rule, providing for the expulsion of reserve play- ers who refused toslzn contracts, the assocla- tion movement has been xaining ground. The American association managers will hear from the Association brotherhood before the next season opens. Like the league they will give the managers all necessary chance to correct existing evils, From the present outlook and from what the vlayers n‘. Voo der Ahe will bea pointof attack by the brotherhood. There seems to be much dis- satisfaction at the manner in which he carts his team about the country, playing exhibi- tion games during the championship season, ‘The idea of the two brotherhoods is to form a strong_combination beiween themselves, such as now exists between the managers of the League and the American associatio One of the players of the Amerlcan associa- tion said vesterday: *‘We do not pretend to be as strone as the League brotherhood. but the solid players of the association be- to the brotherhood I think that we are sufliciently strong to protect ourselves and do away with many of the Improper meac- tices now 1n the association.” National League Games.

Westover thought that the Misses Evans Fraulien, Charlotie Weinman, and Mrs. 8. H. Harbridge, who arrived rdspectively on the Rhineland and Trave, wore altogether too large bustles. The wearers were invited into the private examination rooms on the wharves. In the busties of the Misses Evans were fifty-five yards of silk, a ¢old watch and a vold bracelet. In the bustles of Mrs, Har- bridge and Frauline Weinmann were two meerschaum pipes and one cherry wood Flpe. fourteen yards of silk, thirteen vards of vel- vet and thirteen yards of satin and in the trunk of the Frauline were three silk shawls, sixteen yards of silk and fifty yards of linen.

A reception was tendered to the lodge at the opera house this evening. The addresses of welcome were made b) Governor Adams on behalf of the state lm{ by Mayor Lee on behalf of the city.

Organization of the Policemen’s Re- Hef Fund Assoclation—A Dead- lock in the Board of Edu- eatlon—Other Local, A Woman's Sad Fall On complaint of Koster Geff, 1011 Farnam street, a music teacher named Mrs. Mary Jackwan, board- ing at the same place, was arrested yesterday on the carge of steal- ing a gold ring and several articles of silk underwear from Mrs. Geff. There are some outside facts, however, that make this case of more than paesing in- terest. Mrs. Jackman 18 the widow of the late Hon. William T. Jackman, for- merly one of the most brilliant lawyers at the New York bar, but who unfortun- ately ruined and finally killed himself by strong drink, She is also the daughter of ex-Governor English, of Counecticut, and her career kas been a most unfor- tunate decline from wealth and social distinction to poverty and crime. After her marriage to Jackman he dis- solutely spent the fortune she brought him. She was then prevailed upon by her father to leave Jackman, and the ex- governor rewarded her by a check for $40,000. In a few months, however, she went back to her husband, and he again squandered her fortune. Her father then disinherited her. About eight years ago she lost her husband and since then she has supported herself by teaching music. About five months ago she came to Omaha, but had the misfortune to lose all her money, some $300, while on her way, and since then she has been very much distressed to make ends meet. About two months ago she came to her present boarding place, but had had some trouble about takinga gold pin from her former landlady. The articles stolen from Mrs. Geff were taken from that lady's trunk, After the theft was discovered Mrs. Geft most kindly offered to let the matter drop if Mrs. Jackman would re- turn the stolen property. This, how- ever, she refused to do, but after the warrant was 1ssued she endeayored to secretly leave the ring on Mrs. Gefl’s dresser, but was detected in so doing by the other lady boarders. Since the is- suance of the warrant the stolen clothes have disappeared. Mrs.Jackman is a woman of culture and intelligence and has enjoyed unusual educational and musical advantages, and she seems entirely out of place in a police station. She has employed At- torney Christofferson, however, and in- tends to tight the case through, AMUSEMUENTS, RAG BABY, AT BOYD'S. Hoyt's happy ‘‘mixtum composition,” known as the “Rag Baby,’” ueeds no in- troduction to the amusement patrons of Omaha. And yet, it is not a chestnut. Many of its features are as old as they could well be, but they are presented with a dash and vigor which make them almost rew. There are new acts in the piece, and these last night went off with a great deal of success. There is a trio of pretty maidens who do the vivacious acts and the female singing, and their voices are about as fresh and musical as the critic might require. The singing of the tramps, however, is simply abomin- able, and might well be dispensed with. “Old Sport” is no more; that is to say, Daniels has resigned the art and Charles Reed has assumed it. But Reed is not Daniels, and he never will be, no matter how much soever he may endeavor to 1mitate him. If Hoyt originated “Old Sport” for Daniels, he erformed a masterly work. If not, Daniels created a character which bids favorable to die with him. Reed 15a hard worker, a seemingly deserving comedian;but he is nowhere successful in this character that he does not imitate i manner, forced expression, tone, action and shambling guit the man who has preceeded him in thecharacter. The play last night was characterized with the rush and multitudious detais which have always signalized it, and the audi- ence, which was quite large, secmed to enjoy it notwithstanding the absence of the man who had made the piece a suc- cess. [t will be repeated to-night and tosmorrow night. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. There was a full gallery and a fair- sized purquet at this theater last night to witness the “Two Old Cronies.”’ = The piece has never been seen here before and bat few of the performers had nlln- eared in this city. In average exocel- ence. the play compares favorably with compositions of 1ts kind on the stage. It has no plot. It has simply a string upon which are hung a number of variety specialties, each of which is introduced in as natural a manner as possible. There is a ale seminary in the first act. Everybody knows what liberty the modern comedy farce writer takes in the play with such an institution. Then the performers are on board a vessel bound for Oregon, Everybody also knows how a comedy- farce man's characters would be hikely to act on board ship. Then thers is a hotel parlor and, in this, in true, conventional, farcical-comedy style, the three hours of mirth, musie, humor and fun terminate. The Cronies were piayed by Messrs. Frank M. Willis and John E. Henshaw, both of whom are excellent comedians in their way, and sure to keep the people in amerry mood. Miss May Ten Broeck assumed the leading lo role, at times singing well, atothers indifferently. Mr. Stanley sang in a musical tenor which was attractive. The other characters acquitted themselves well and the ladies were finely dressed. The piece will be repeated to-night and to-morrow night. The orchestra was several times ap- vlauded for its excellent work. — BOARD OF EDUCATION. A Deadlock On the FRlection of Davis’ Successor. ‘The regular meeting of the board of education was held last evening. Messrs. Felton, Gray, Kelley, Clark and Clarke were absent.

Additional school room was ordered forthie Vinton school. The attorney forjthe board was in- structed to prepare the proper proclama- tion for a vote ofi the question of issuing bonds to the amount of $150,000 to be taken at the regular election in Novem- ber. The difltrvnt committees were or- dered to furnish the necessary data. It was decided to temporarily rent the church on the northeast corner of Eleventh and Center streets for school purposes. ‘The next order of business was the election of a new member of the board to succeed J. Davis, resigned. Mr, Morrison nominated Judge Stenberg; Mr. Blackburn nominated F. R. McCon- nell, Mr. Copeland nominated Mr. Hat- field of the Sixth ward, and Mr. Coburn nominated C. B. Schmidt. After thirteen undecisive ballots it was decided to post- pone the election until next Monday. A report from Mr. James showed an incrense of 2,000 pupils inside of the old city limits since last year, being an in- crease of 25 per cent. — THE HERALD'S LIBEL SUIT, Ex-City Editor King Wants to Settle With tkey Brown, Rabbi Benson recently received a let- ter, dated Cheyenne, from J. Benjamin King, lute city editor of the Herald, ask- ing him to try and effect a settlement between the Herald, Isaac Brown and the writer (King). It will be remembered that Brown has sued the Herald for libel and also begun an action against King for criminal libel based on an article charging Brown with being a thief. King is now under bonds. Rabbi Benson answered the letter stating that no _com- promise could be made unless the Herald makes a complete denial of all the statements made against Brown. The Railway nohise Case, The suit of the Omaha and South Omaha street railway against the city comes up for hearing before the supreme court at Lincoln to-day. Attorney Webster will argue the case for the city while the comvany will be represented by J. E. Congdon. The company’s franshise was one of those voted on at the §uuernl oity elee- tion in May. It received a majority ot the votes cast on the proposition, but not of all votes cast at the election, The company insists that its franchise was voted, but pending the decision has done no construction except a part of a block ou a disputed routs on South Twenty- fourth street. 4 It is said that Mr. Webster will so pre- sent the 1ssue jas to determine the validity of all the franchises granted since the Muy election. es and sixty chairs r the business course A Brilliant Reception, The reception last evening given to Lieutenant and Mrs. Howard at Cort- landt Place, Twenty-second street and St. Mary's avenue, by Judge and Mrs. Woolworth, Mrs. C. D. Wool- worth and Miss Maud Woolworth, was a mosl brilhant social affair. Over 700 guests were present.

TREITSCHKE, A sad and unexpected death has occur- red in the family of Julius Treitschke. It is that of his tourteen year old son Louis, who was deprived of the tender ministra tions of his parents during his last moments, although, when death came, he received all the attention a sister and sympathetic friends could afford. He died Sunday of typhoid fever at Scotia, Neb., where he was on a visit to his sister Mrs. Mary Kuehne.

KANSAS CITx AND OMAHA, How the Former Secured Population, Joseph Barker has just returned from Kansas City, and in conversation with a BEE reporter, said: *“We have got the prettiest city and the finest streets, al- though one of theirs looks more compuct and possibly imposing because of its width—being only Jsixty feet — with very high buildings on cither side, while ours are 100 feet wide.
