Omaha went out to the ball park yesterday afternoon with murder in her eye ‘When she came back in the evening she had St. Paul's scalp at her belt. The Aposties went into the fight witha hurrah and the best intentions in the world, but the Omahas used the stick with splendid effect and their fielding was like the work of & machine, There was a tremendous throng present, and for two hours before the game the peo- ple kept pouring in at the gates Clarke’s pitching was ve Duryea wvas strong, too, but the Omahas got the range of his curves ut the W time—for the Apostles.

An Artst With a Practical Turn of Mind--Some Novel and Remus nerative Schemes—Washe- ington Notes, The Future of the Navy. Wasnivaroy, August 26, —[Special to Tie Brr]—For several years past the cadets who annually graduated from the naval academy have excceeded in number the vacancies i the line of the na and many of the young men have been dropped from the rolls of the naval establishment with an honorable discharge and one year's pay. Some of these young fellows have been able to secure excellent positions in private life through the education which the governinent s0 generously furnished them, but there is scarcely one of the whote number who would not be willing to re-enter the service if opportunity offered. The fact that there has been so much uncertainty as to the chances of getting into the navy after graduating from the academy, has made the Anwapolis institution less popular than it usedto be, and the applicants for the vacant places on the academy’s rolls have not been as numer- ous as in the old days. A naval oficer, in talkimg of the future of the navy to your correspondent, to-day, said: *‘T'he state of affairs which has existed in relation to Anunapolis graduates is likely to ollowed by a period of rapid rise in the navy. For twenty years after the war there was scarcely a new ship added to our flect, and the old vesscls, which had been built for the service, or which had been lll.lflul into the navy, have neal all gone to the bottom of the ocean, or have rotted in the yards. Now, however, there is a dispasition on the part of congress to pay some attention to the ser- vice, and everything points to the rebabilita- tion of the United States fleot of war vessels, Already quite a number of cruisers, gun- boats, “torpedo boats and armored battle ships have been provided for, and the current naval appropriation bill will add to tne list, Soveral vesscls have been launched, and there is every reason to believe that the good work will go ou for some years to come and that the Uited States will, within the next ade, have a navy of which the people as well as the naval officers themselves may proud. Tho result of this will be that there will be more chance for promotion and a bet tex prosp naval ac; ined to think that from this time forward for tho noxt twe nty years there will be more of a demand for cadetships napolis than there has been in the past, and that this inttitution will become as popular as West Point 1s ulrvml\' L Washington, in comuion with every other large city in the world, has a number of young and enthusiastic artists who make o living somehow by transforring their jon of . the food aud General - Skobelew, 1f Mikhailoy- ine twenty two versts een the gulf and the aoul After the capture of this line was prolonged 1o the stronghold of Kizyl-Arvat (217 versts) In this state the lne was kept up to When in the mouth of February of that year ning news of the situation on the han frontior fwas spread, it was decided to prolong the rakway, as a stroke of str gy, to the banks, of 'Amou-Daria.

At this point the strategic role of the railway coases. *Nevertholess the line would certainly not have the importance that it possesses now if it had not been carried on to at least the first commercial center, for instance, the city of Bokhara, Therefore, at the sug- gestion of the constructor, it was decided, on forage of the trobps of then on the march from the sky, of Gheok-Tepo, a longz was built be of Moullah-K Gheok Tepe in 18 188 thoughts to canvas through the aid of pig ment and oils.

Sincethat time it struck me that _there might bo a wider field, and now whon- ever I have a new idea which pans out well, I paint my picture, take a photograph copy of it, which I copyright, of course, and send titese copios to the leading manufacturers of crealls.

Judge Grange: will add much strength to the ticket and be elected in spite of any pos- sible corporation combine, For attorney geucral the contest was very exciting and the corporations scored their only victory in the ion of the candidate, In this they were actually aided by a large number of the most uit shibitionists. Attorney General Baker, who was a candi date for the third term, had mortally oftended the railroad attorneys by the zeal and ability he displayed in pushing the rairoad cases, and his defeat at any price and by any means had been determined upon. | Judge Winslow, of Newton and Jobn Y.
