IN THE FIELD OF SPORT Omaba’s Nexi Year’s Ball Team and What Needs to Be Dones THE WAY TO GET COOD PLAYERS. Excellent Frospects for the Penrose and Hardin Shooting Tournament —Good Events for Next Sun- day's Athletic Exhibition. Omaha's Noxt Year's Tea ‘The board of directors of the Omaha base bail club held a meeting the other evening and the only business transacted consisted ‘of voluminous instructions to the secretary to open up correspondence, with the view of se- curing & manager for next season. Perhaps t might be as well for the Omaha base ball association to secure something to manage before they secure a manager. If they think they are zolng to wait until the opening un of the season and then patch up a cheap nine from the refuse left by the other associations, to represent Omaha on the diamond,they will be badly left. Omaha has had enough of duffers, and the great national pastime will receive the cold shoulder next year unless at least nine ball players are secured. With & winning nine this city would be one of the best paying ball cities In the country, but willr another miserable aggregation like the one just scattered to the four winds, the investment will be & losiog one. Now is the time to begin to scour the country for competent material, just at the close of the season when the greatest redundance ot the talent is upon the market. A few dollars judiciously ex- pended now will assure ample returns, A good practical man, one familiar with the Kame and the exponents of the art through- out the country, shoulit be eéngaged at once and started out In search of players, 1t can't jone by correspondence. Some man who knows a ball player from a wooden In- dian should make a tour of the larger cities and ball centers and secure the best to be within the limits of the association’s means. In such anevent Omaha would as- suredly cut some sort of a fieure in next year's pennant chase, and the gate would be a Yeritable bonanza to the stockholders. Evurgclub management in the country is mow bestirring itself in the pursuit of new yllyun. and Omaha cannot afford to wait or & team to come to her, Tebeau and Smith ot the Denvers, Beckley and Hart of the Lincolus, and aimost the entire Topeka team, have already been taken by the larger leagues, and many others of the promising young bloods ~ develgped throughout the western country duri e past season are on the lists. Let the Omaha management consider this gentle admoni- tlon. It will stand them in hand ere another Ogtober rolls around.

W. Bavidge Delivers a Broadside Against Unmarried Men, MARRIAGE ORDAINED BY GOD. Eloquent Discourse by Rev. A. W. Lamar at the First Baptist Church on the Spirit of True Keligion. To Bachelors. Rev. C. W. Savidge talked on *“Mar- riago’’ last evening at the Seward Street M. E. church, taking the text, ‘‘Get her for me, for she pleaseth me well.’’ My gubject this evening, eaid the speaker, is ‘‘Marriage,’’ and I will ad- aress the sermon to bachelors. I have come to the conclusion that something must be done with this class of sinners. I would hardly advocate the policy that the government has adopted with respect to the bachelor seals, however. The gov- ernment suffers the killing of only one hundred thousand of these animals annu- ally, and this number is taken from the unmated bachelors. But, jokes aside, I have come from your ranks so lately that 1 think I know what you need. You need hght —you mneed information. Tremblingly you stand on the border of an unexplored land and you want some traveler to return ang tell you the facts? My heart beats in symflnuly with you, I would reach out in; and and help you over into the land of Beulah. To-day, if men have anything to say on a subject of importance, thoy write a book, or make a sgeech, or deliver a ser- mon. I shall do the last named, and you may call it what you please. God has given many a sermon on this topic. In the first chapter He wrote He talks of the right relations of man and woman. Some of the most touchingly beautiful stories in the Divine Word are on this very subject of marriage. Go home and take down your grandmother’s bible, and read again God's account of the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah and Boaznnd Ruth. In the last book of the bible Christ calls the church his bride. Great governments have found 1t nec- essary to speak out on this subjeet. The Roman repubhlic and our own land are noted examples. This country realizes that the great perils that threaten us are those which aim their deadly shafts at the mnm-fn altar and the home circle. Do any ol You kuow of a thing more 1m~ portant to all of our highest interests than right doing in the home? W hen Robert Burns pictured the pious homes of Scot- land did he paint the picture any too brightly? He says: “From scenes like these old Scotia’s grand- eur springs.” If all our goung men would make good homes for themselves and then be true to those homes, no harm could come o us. But men all around us of proper age are hesitating to enter the marriage re- lation. Hotels, boarding houses and private residences, full of unmarried men and young wumen going to store, oflice and factory, meeting the stern bat- tle of life, alone. . These men try to justify themselves in a life of cflhbx\cfv. One says, “I could not get a wife who has the (iunliflcs!ions I demand or the presence I admire,”” Iam sure you can find some one as intelli- gent and as good looking as you, for some of you are not overly smart and you're homely enough to turn milk sour. Anothersays: ‘‘Women of the present day are 80 extravagant I could not sup- kvort one.” You ought to read what Washington Irving says about the wife of his friend Leslie, coming to the rescue in the hour of financial ruin. One of the teachers of our schools said lately, when asked if she was about to be married. “‘No thank yon, my salary wont admit of it.” Itell you whatis a fact. These women are fearful thatif they marry they will have to keep youn, T'hen too, une says: *‘It is so danger- ous.”’ ‘‘Somany have trouble,” That 8 a fact. WV hen George Whitfield's ~ wife died, he _said he felt greatly relieved, and John Wes- ley's wife tortured him until he left her. I am told that a few months ago one of my bachelor friends in this -city entered the relation, and his wife made it so hot for him that he now finds an asylum at the hotel. I simply say, ‘“The exceptions make the rule.” These things will hap- pen; there is a possibility of trouble on every road that runs through this world, and as likely as not, the more fear you show, the worse you will get it at last. Many men say, *I have lost faith in woman.'' This comes with a poor grace from man when he has tried every power to make woman bad—then looking down _at his own work, ha says ‘I have lost confidence.” Away witih this foolishness! Let man treat woman right and she will be right. Let him drag her down aud she becomes a fiend incarnate. Another reason why men don’t marry is, they want to start where the old peo- ple leave off. A father said to a young man not long ago, *‘You can’t keep my daughter as she is accustomed to live.” “Oh, we have arranged that,” said the young admirer, **1 am to come and live with you and when you and the oid lady die we will start whera jou leavo off.” Men are now iookin for just such soups as that. en errone- onsiy believe that their freedom will be curtailed. You are greatly mis- taken. Youn are by no means free now, as you will be when you have a home of your own. But I tell you, the great rea- son is, you do not know whygt you are missing—neither can any one tell you, I notice in the second place, the rea- sons for marriage. [t is a manly thing. That girl is meet- ing Iife alone. You can help her and make her happy as a queen, if yon try. The old bachelor will get very mad over it, but he is extremely selfish and mean. ‘The marriage relation 1s better for you in every way. The married man lives longer and does better work while he stays here. The wite is a great help. A great man says “It is impossible for me to be a good man, without a good woman to help me.” In your very heart {lml long for love and home—and God himself put that longing there. Elizabeth Stuart Phelphs says: “The most filial position can not satisfy the natural man or woman in any world." And I believe it. Good men advocate the mar- ringe relation. Dr. Adam Clark says: “Marriage is the first sac- rament, the oldest meuns of grace A man ought to be thankful for a ba wite--she is so much better thun none.’ After twent ht years ol experience Faraday said: My marriage was an event, which more thau any other, has contributed to my earthly huppiness and healthy stata of mind.” For forty-six ears the union continued unbroken, the {uw of the old man remaining as fresh, earnest and whole-hearted as in the days of his youth, James Nasmith, the inventor of the steam hammer, had a similarly happy experience. He says, “‘Forty-two years of mmrried life finds us the same devoted ‘cronies’ a8 we were at the beginning." Dr. Arnold often dwelt upon “The Race,"—the unbroken, the almost awful bappiness of his domestic life,—and he carried the first feelings of enthusiastic love and watchful care through twenty- two years of wedded hfe. And Charles i WP, ST L o = T A b a2 W W talk of love ending at_the altar, are fools.” No biography of Bishop_Gilbert Haven would plote without a touching account is unchanging and undying love for *‘His M-rg." Old Hickory was often thought to be rough, but he maver forgot his wife. The last thing the iron man did at night was to .yead in her book of Common Prayer with her miniature before him, and dur{dg the day he wore her picture over his heart, suspended from his neck by a strong black cord. After she had been dead fifteen years, pointing to her tomb he said, “Her wish to me is law.” | Jush Billings thw#ht well of the rela- tion when he said: “Marry Young, and if you make a hit, keep still and don’t brag about it.” But the great clmchlnF argument is: “Marriage 18 ordained of God." It is the the divine arrangement. ‘‘A man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife''—and mark this, fnn can't improve on God's plan. f you don't marry, some day you will die alone and the servants will steal the very pennies off your eyes, and those who do not especially love you will fol- low you to the grave and drive home on a run to quarrel over what you have left. I will speak briefly of the motives which should govern you in the choice. Do not use Sampson's motive. He was pleased with the appearance of his girl and married her, but he regretied the step. Not fanoy, but_ sound judgment should be yotr guide. Happy marriages are founded upon respect and mutual fitness, They are undertaken with more clear thought and preparation than moonshine and gum-drops. Ben Franklinsawd: *‘Other things being equal, the eldest daughter of a large family is the best.” Ask God to heip you choose, then use the best sonse you have and go ahead. The text also points out the manner of bringing this event about. Samson's father helped him, but from the result [ advise you to attend to the arrangements yourself. You ought, first, to get ready. Get a dollar ahead if you can,—You'll need it, gut‘:t you have not made a fortune and on expect to, marry any way. The other day a man was married, bought tickets to a railrond town ten miles distant and had ten cents left. Said he to his new wife, *8al, let's have some soda water." When such Euoplu as thatstart out, don't wait, if you have'nt made a fortune. Do the square thing with ever[;body when you are getting married. on'v ask the preacher what the bill is, that always throws a coldness over the meeting. Have a good size bill folded and enclosed 1 an envelope and hand it to the minis- ter with your thanks, and don't give_him less than $5 or he will forget you. If he is an old man, and nearing the end of his ministerial career, give him all the Inrger sum, In closing, I would say, make your married life all it ought to be. The good or ill fortune of your marriage does not depend upon the day but upon the con- duct of the contracting parties. Be a man, hustle:around and make a good living. A wife and six children can't live on love and air. Do right—don’t ask your wife to live either with a bear or & hog. If shedrank and lay out of doors all night you would not live with her :n hour, and people would applaud you for it, too. Do not ask yoar wife to leave you because you are still making a brute of yourself. i You never know what intemperance is till it gets into your home in good shape. i God grant your wife may never know! Love your wife and tell her so, and she will work her fingers off for you, if need be, and be an honor to you. SPIRIT OF TRUE RELIGION, 2t B Eloquent Discourse Yesterday Morn- ing By Rev. A. W, Lamar. Rev. A. W. Lamar's morning sermon at the First Baptist church was one of the most eloquent efforts of that popular preacher, and those who braved the threatening weather were more than repaid. His subject was ‘‘The Spirit of True Religion,” the text being ‘Neither will I offer burut offerings unto the Lord my God of thas which doth cost me nothing.”” The text and its connections, said the speaker, furnish g striking in- sight into the character of God as the object of true worship and the char- acter of the true worshiper. On the one hand i8 God, glorious in holiness, hating iniquity and unishing wroug, yet forgiv irginiquity Sud in the midst o(ydcsurvud wrnll:‘_ re- membering mercy. On the other hand, David is seen profoundly penitent, ton- fessing his 10 and deploring the conse- quences to others. At the same time we see him cxhibiting & magnanimity which refuses to serve God at the expense of another, All rulers were accustomed to tuke the census of their fighting men. ‘What, then, was the sin of David thus doing? His case was different, because God was the head of the nation and the pledge of their security, their power and their peace. ‘I'hey were promised that if they were obedient, “‘they should eat the fat of the land,” and *‘one should chasea thousand and two put ten thousand to flight.” David himself had been a con. spicuous example of the fulfillment of that promise i his conflist with Goliath on the plains of Elah. His numbering of hig |uer&plo had a military purpose in it and was done in o spirit of vain glory and of declining God. Even wicked Joab 8o re| strated with him. ~ But when it was all over, David’s heart smote him and he was ready to say, I have sinned and done very foolishly. =~ God gave him a choice between three forms of calamity—defeat in war, pestilence or famine. Heisina great strait, and while choosing to fall into the hands of the Lord, he selects that punishment under which he and his family will be as much exposed as the povrest of his subjects, God permuts 'xim to build an altar as a means of pro- pitiation, and when his servant, Araunah, makes an offering of the necessary things for the religious service, David deoclines it on vrinciple and refuses to worship God at the expense of knother. Woe see, first, that Lhe spirit of true re- ligion 1s the spirit of self-sacrifice. The religion of Jesus is greatly misconceived. That was a huge misconception of Mr. Hume when be said ‘that ‘‘christianity demanded humilitJ, required its votaries to be mean spirited.” What is this hu- mility against which 'Mr. Hume prates when properly considéred? We answer. itisn judgment of ourselves founded upon truth. It viewsitself in the light of the highest standard of right and obliga- tion. Itdiscards all ‘comparisons with all imperfect creatures like itself and gauges its estimato of self by the uner- ring judgment of Him, who cannot err nmfwno searches the ‘heart. Now this humility enjoinea by Jesus, is found ns- sociated and blended with the noblest atributes of character this world has ever secn. Nowhere can be found in the world's history men of mora grand, gencrous, couragous and lofty impulses than are the disceples of Jesus Christ, vet every true disciple of bisis characterized by Eumxlity, Counspicuous illustr of this can be found in Abrabam Lincoln and Robert E. Lee. Though David is bere portrayed before God in doep b mility, he prays for the deliverance of his subjects from culamity and asks the Lord that it may fall on him and his father's house instead of these sheep that have done no harm, and at the same time proposes that' his service to God shell cost him heavily, A mean-spirited man would not have acted that way, Yot Mr. Hume hat true religion makes A man me: th in = . Klnx_sley wrote to his wife, “'People whul This spirit of self-sacritice involves THE OMAHA DAILY BEEY MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1887 obedience to supreme authority. Law sometimes runs along the line of a man's preference and the correspondence of his acts with the requirements of the law does not always prove obedience. Law is not counsel, or request, it isthe do- mana for submission to authority, ‘This is wonderfully illustrated in Abraham’s obedience to the command of God to offer up Isanc. Upon all the details of that transaction our minds may linger with groat profit. To a less obedient spirit than his skepticism would have suggested a hundred things against obe- dience. Yet Mr. Hume says that such humility as filled Abraham was mean spinted. Aguin, true religion involves the exer- cise of the highest affection. It 13 the nature of love to seek its expression 1n the most costly gifts it can bestow. Imagine a man loving his wife and yet giving to her as an ex- pression of his love the cheapest and meanest things he can buy. Notoriously stingy men become lavish towards the objects of their love. The lover of Jesus will not ask, ‘“‘with how little can I serve m}}‘ Lord?” 'rue religion involves conformity to a model. Christ is the model. Amcrica is the model for the nations of the earth as oxpressed 1n a single sentence on the statue in New York harbor, “Liberty Enlightening the World.” Towering up in the midst of the ages stands the statue of Jeaus Christ, holding aloft in his right hand a light to the sons of men. He is the model, and a single sentence ex- presses 1t all, “He went about doing 0d.” Wae are to follow his footsteps. Kinally this spirit of self sacrifice is a spirit of rrnpnmuon for a future state. Christ will come n{iuh\ at the appointed time, to be admired of all that love him. From his throne he will mete out the re- warde of the oternal state. His lips will utier blessedness upon the redcemed. One clement of that blessedness will be i _harmony with preceding effort and suffering. There are endless illustra- tions of this princ!{pl& Who rejoices most in the success of a cause? He who has done and suftered most to brin, it about. It 1s this _ principal that explains the ineffuble oy of a mother over a noble son, in whom she sees the fruit of her love and care. In the last great day we shall sce the most 'wrfecz illustration of the principle in hand. ~As the Redeemer casts his eyes over the sea of glad faces that no tongue can number he will see the travail of his soul, and Calvary and Gethsemane, once dark with the mystery of suffering, will then glow forever with a cloudless light of love and joy, and the doctrine ,of the text will be gloriously pictured in the grandest scone this universe has ever witnessed. it DENIED ADMISSION, A Minnesota Democratic Senator Re- Jected By His Party Ciub., DururH, Minn,, Oct. 9.—{Special Tele- gram to the Bre.|—The Mesaba Is a local democratic club ot large membership and much Influence in a political way. Nearly all the local democrats of good standing or of .any prominence in party councils are members and it no doubt controls the demo- cratic policy in Duluth to a very large extent. Not all the leading democrats are members, however, and for the future at least some of them will be found fighting that organiza- tion. The membership of the Mesaba club and Senator Whitemnan, the only democrat ever olected to the legislature from this point of the state, and who has a good deal to say in party matters, are at lozzerheads. White- man is'a millionaire banker and has lately been fi:hting P. H. Kelley and Mike Doran, the political bosses of the democratic party n the state, and dispensers of all the ofticial pav. The Mesaba has lately boen increasing ts membership as well as holding frequent meetings to prevare for a grand descent on President Cleveland at the time of the lat- ter's visit to St. Paul. Senator Whiteman’s name, among others, was presented at one of the meetings for membership and it has leaked out that it was rejected. His friends will probably join with him in getting back at some of the high moguls for their part in the insult and there will be war to the knife. i American Affectations of Dignity. WasHINGTON, Oct. 9.—[Special to the BEE.|—1t is amusing to see the dig- nity which breaks out upon the ordinary American citizen when he is notified that he has been appointed to represent the United States government as consul in some obscure point. Gentlemen who have been 8o fortu- nate immediately proceed to Washington, pay their respects to the officials of the state department, call upon the chier ot the consu- lar service for Instructions and then they usually inquire as to the supplies which are to be furnished them.They take more interest in the box of suppliesithan they do in all the rest of the baggage which it will be necessary for them to carry away. Your correspondent happened to be in the stationery room of the state department yesterday when a re- quisition for the supplies for a small consul in China came down, Itreadsomething like this: Ten reams of dispatch paper; asup- ply of general statiouery, including note vaper ang letter paper; 3,000 envelopes ad- dressed to the department of state and to collectors of customs; a supply of cloth-lined envelopes, blotting paper, three flags, tive, twelve and sixteen feet long respectively; six balls of silk cord, two dozen rolls of rib- bon, revised statutes of the Unitea States and statutes at larce, consular reports, United States coat of arms and seals, a sup- ply of leadpencils, black and blue, scissors and shears, sealing wax and gum Arabic, copy books, wells and brush. When a cousul or cony agent receives this box of supplies upon his induction into office ha acts with as much delight asa mother with a new baby., It is very likely that he will make frequent requisitions, s his supphies of stationery runs short, that is in the first year of his experience. After- ward he becomes more careless, and before he has represented the government for one term he is not particular if he wiites upon ordinary wa paper and encloses his com- municaiion in a common foreign envelope. There ara in all about 800 consulates an. consular agencies of the United hich have to be supplied with station These numerous oftices naturally reg a great many thousand veaws of paper, hundreds ot dozens ot lead puncils, millions of en- velopes and nuuiberless other little things which eome under the general head of ‘“stationary” every year, and it requires no ~ small sum t liquidate the bills of the department under this head. Although the department takes care to keep consuls supplied with flags and coats of arms, visitors to European countries every year re- port that in many instances the appearance of the offices occupied by United States offi- cials is such as to make every American ashamed of his government. Somehow our representatives Lave a habit of selecting dingy rooms and of allowing their surround- ing to becowe shabby and unpleasant to look upon. 1n nine cases out of ten the Stars and Stripes seem to float above the consulate as thongh the old flag, too, feels the nigzardli- ness of the appropriations committee. -~ Conferred the Pallium.

He said that at a meet ing_of the officials of the “Q" system at Chicago recently the subject was discussed at great leneth and the conclusion reached that 8 line should be built from this city to Sterling, Neb,, and making connections with their own line at De Witt, thus saving them between forty and sixty miles of road and over easy grades. It is then their intention of using this road as their through line to Denver—the shortest and best of any be- tween these two points, The important re- sults for Neoraska City, which would neces- sarily come from this move on the part of the “Q.,” are very evident, asitis their inten- Hood’s Sarsaparilla Combines, in a manner poculiar to itself, the best blood-purifying and strengthening reme- dies of the vegetable kingdom, You will find this wonderful remedy effectivo where other medicines have falled.

While this is not ofticial, yet there are any number of men ready to ‘‘bank’ all they are worth upon the rumor. The new branch at Weeplng Water is completed, and the official sald the road by the way of Nebraska City would be used as the main line by about the 15th of the present month, provided the road bed was found to be solid enough. There was some delay on their extension from Talmage to Crete on account of lack of material, but work was again resumed the past week, and the grading will be tinished by the middle of November, though it is doubtful if the road will be completed before next spring. It is stated from official sources that bv next year the main line of this road to Omaha would be considerably shortened by utilizing the old survey, which branehes off from Union, a new station between this city and Weening Water, and build to Omaha by the way of Plattsmouth. The most recent and interesting railroad rumor reaches here from Lincoln of the in- corporation of the Lincoln, Red Oak & Des Moines railroad company with a capital stock of $1,000,000, By some this scheme Is be- lieved to be backed up by the Chicago & Northwestern, which road has Interested itself in the old Diagonal, it being presumed that the Diazonal survey from Des Moines to Red Oak would be used by the Northwestern, and then build throueh to Lincoln by the way of Nebraska City. But by others this 1dea is scouted and tle more feasible one advanced that the scheme is an extension of the Rock 1sland, as several surveys have been made by ¢his road over the proposed route of the Lincoln, Red Oak & Des Moines. The most recent survey was mude from Carson, Iowa, by the way of Malvern and to Knst Nebraska City. Whatever the scheme may be, it will be of undoubted interest to Nebraska (7It<. Besides all the above roads which Ne- braska Citv is figuring on, the Wabash has its grade stakes set from Shenandoah and this’ place. ‘The Fremont, Elkhorn & Mis- sourl Valley is looking anxiously this way. The windy corporation, the Omaha South- ern, has been talking business in a playrul way, and a few others are mentioned, 5o that if one-fourth of the rumors shouid become realized certainties Nebraska City will have ber good share of railroads. ‘The handsome passenger depot of the Mis- sourl Pacitic now bein: built here will be tinished and occupied by next week.
