Crooks was put out trying to steal second, but in the operation Strauss scored. Cooney took his ‘base on balls, but Andrews was thrown out at first on a weak hit_to short. The locals had received five lubberly errors by which ___~taevisitors had made three runs. This de- pull themselves together, although the; avoided thereaftor amassing such a multi- tude of errors. The visitors, on the other hand, increased the effectiveness of their play, and put up a game far superior in every voint. There were no brilliant epi- sodes nor incidents, for the reason that the home club did not put up a strong enough shlne to call out such displays. They cither zzled out on strikes or sent out puny hits ‘which were neauly fielded to first in good time. They did not score till the fifth inning, ‘when Bradley got first base on balls and Cnm{ ‘was struck by a pitched ball. eb- ‘ber’s line hit to right scored Bradley, and Crotty was brougit home from third by Ciine’s the other run was scored by Crotty, who got acrifice, and home on Webher's safe hit to right. In the meantime, however, the visitors, by hard hitting, had tallied up six runs. ‘‘hey pounded out sixteen base hits on Webber's Ppitching, and the only effort in the eighth - ning was to shorten the game. The home club, howover, was weakened by Burke being disabled hy a sore eye, so that Cline Yl;y.d short-stop and Seibel took his place n the eighth. 1f the home club wins lnf ‘more games from the Omaha visitors, it will g:vew play better ball than it did to-day. 8I0UX OITY.

The attendance at the Coliseum last night was much larger than on the two previous evenings, and off and on, there were proba- bly from fifteen hundred to two thousand people there. There was much excitement over the varying fortunas of the combetitors in the race, and when finally the horses pulled up and passed the fair bykers the cheering was tremendous, 'This was all owing to the masterly riding of Broncho Charlie, however, and had the equestriennos been left alone in tne race they would have been so far behind by this time as to have robbed the struggle of all interest.

The Memorial Chapel at Fort Leav- enworth, Kan. BRAVE MEN OF RANK AND FILE. They Died in Defsnse of Their Coun- try—Some Died on the Battle- Field and Some on the Sea and Frozen North. Tablets That Speak of Heroes, LeaveswonrTn, Kan,, May 20.—[Special to Tite Bee.]—~But few of the many people who visit Fort Leavenworth avail themselves of the upportunity to see a post chapel that is not excelled in interest by any in this coun- try. A place doubly saored, first, because it is dedicated to the worship of theliving God: second, because of the many memorials therein, memorials that tell of duty done in the face of death, of death met in upholding the country’s honor. The post chapel at Fort Leavenworth is on the east side of Scottaveunue, a short distance- from all that remams of the old fort, and almost opposite the triangle on which the Grant monument is to be erected. The quartors on Scott avenue are occupied by officers on duty at headquarters department of the Missouri. The roadway and the lawns_ on either side are well kept. At this season’ of the year, this avenue presents a beautiful appearance with its grand old trees in fuil leaf, its closely shaven grass, und the many beantiful flowers that are in bloom. At the north end stands the chapel. It is of greg stone, of alternate layors rough and smooth, and has & ocathedral roof, but no tower, The west end is surmounted by a white cross, the emblem of christianity. Over the vestibule eutrance, in front, are two beautiful rose bushes, on either side woodbine and Virgmnia creepers of luxuriant Rrowth, The roof on the inside is finished in hard yellow pine, oiled, the pows and altar decora- tions are of black walnut, oiled. 1t has twelve cathedral and eight dormer windows, and a large circular window at each end, all filled with stained_glass of appropriate de- sign. It is thirty foot wide by eighty feet Toug and will seat about 600 people. This chapel i thoroughly military. Two small gun motal mortars stand on either side of the altar, six six-pound mountain howitz- ers support'the side lamps. Thess mortars and howitzers shine like burnished gold. Three chandeliers i the center are also used when night servico is beld. ~All around the walls in_groups of three, the national colors predominating, are flags representing the throe arms of the service, cavalry, in- fantry, and artillery. 4 The interost hero centers mainly in the Qifferent tablets set. in the walls. “Enough of merit has each honored namo ‘I'o shine untarnished on the rolls of fame, And #dd now lustre to the historic page.” At tho front, over the entrance, is a large, dark, marble tablet, oval shaped, bearing the inseription: *‘In memory of the officers and men of the Seventh cavalry, killed in action, Washita, I. T., November 27, 1868: Little Big horn mountain, M. T., June 25, 1876; Be&;r’l"&w mountain, M. T., September 30, 1877." On the south side of the eutrance is alarge tablet of the same material, having on it in gilt figures and letters the following: A figure 7, aud two crossed sabres, then Liou- tenant Colonel George A. Custer, brevet mujor-general, U. S. A., June 95, 1876: (General Custer 15 buried 'at West Point); Major Joel H. Elliott, November 27, 1868; Captain Myles W. Keough, June 35, 1870; Captain Louis M. Hamilton, November 27, 1808; Captain G- W. Yates, June 25, 1876; Captamm Owen Hale, September 30, 1877; Captain Thomas N. Custer, June 18705 and First Lieutenant W. W. Cooke, adjutant, June 25, 1876, On the porth side a similar tablet having these names: First Licutenants Algernon E. Smith, Donald McIutosh (a full blooded Tn- dian), James Calhoun and James E. Porter, and Second Lieuteuants Benjamin H. Hodg- son, Henry M. Harrington, James C. Sturgis (30n of General Samuel Snlwh. now on the retired list of the army), William Van W. Reilly and J. William Bidale. Underneath each name, June 25, 1835, On the north side as you move up the aisie there is & white marble tablet having on it in gilt: “In memoriam, Patrick T. Brodrick, adjutant _‘L'wenty-third infantry, March 28, 1856.” Next a white marble diamond: *‘In memoriam, Willlam F. Rice, first lieutenant ‘T'wenty-third infantry, June 5, 18%4.” Then an oval gilt tablet bearing the inscription: “A. S. Bennett, captain_Fifth infantry. Killed in uction with the Bannock Indians September 4, 1373, The writer was well acquainted with Captain Bennett when he was stationed at Fort Leavenworth. A more gallant gentleman or couragepus soldier never graced a drawing room or led aninfan- try charge. ‘A painful interest centers around the uext, a piece of white marble, shaved as a banner. 1v's gilt letters say, ‘In memoriam, James B. Lockwood, first licutenant Twenty-third infantry, a member of the Greeley polar ex- pedition. Died at Cape Sabine, Grionell Land, April 9, 1884.” The writer met Lieu- tenant Lockwood in the opera aouse in Leavenworth when he was en route to Washington, D. rt for duty with the Greeley expedition. After the salutations were exchanged ho asked Lieutenant Lock- wood, * Where are you going!’ *I am go- ing to Washington city,” was the reply. “Aud where ure you going from therei’ was the next question. “I'm eoing up into the Arctic regions to freeze to death,” was the second reply. Poor Lockwood, a brave soldier and & young nan of great promise, Was his reply prophetic, or was it only ‘*u true word spoken in jestt” Who cananswer that question? A Groek cross of white variegated marble, having in gilt letters, *‘In memoriam, Brevet Lieutenaot Colonel Edward R. Platte, died June 17, 1884.” This tablet was erected by the ofticers on duty at headquarters depart- ment of the Missouri, and at tha post of Fort Leavenworth, whero Colonel Platt died. He was adjutant-general of the department of the Missouri at the tima of his death, and hi;hly esteemed by his brother officers. 'he last tablet on the north side, just in front of the organ loft has two brass shields in relief, on dark marble. One says, “In memory of First Lieutenant George K. Lord, stant surgeon, killed in action with Sioux Indians June 25th, 18i6,” the other, Lieutenant Thomas J. C. Maddox, assistant surgeon, killed in action with the Apache Indians near White House, N. M., December 19, 1885.” On the base of the tablot are the words, “Erected by the officers of the corps.” On the south side of the chupel coming towards the entrance the first tablet is in memory of *John Anthony Rucker, second lisutenant Sixth cavalry, drowned July 11, 1878, Camp Sllfi)ly, Ariz. It is a dark marble shield, letters in gilt, and crossed sabres. A dark marble banner with gilt letters and fringe is inscribed, “Daniel H. Murdock, captain Sixth United States infantry, drowned while crossing his command over Grand river, Utah, June 6, 1880, lJaval:;:i Loyal and True. Captain Murdock belon, t the regiment now stationed Leavenworth, of which General A. MeD, Mc- Cook, who distinguished himself in the late war is colonel. A biack muarble maltese cross is in memory of “Brevet-Major- General Sykes, United States army, colonel Twentienth infantry, died Fevruary 8, 1850." ‘The next tablet 1s of the same shape and material, and as modest as he in whose mem- ory it is placed in this chapel is meritorious and deserviug of honor, “Colonel Jefferson ©. Davis, Twenty-third Infantry, Brevet Major-General, United States Army, Died November 30, 1879.” General Davis was stationed at Fort Leavenworth in 1876 ,when the great riots 1ok place in different parts of the country. He was ordered to take part of his command and go to St. Louis and protect the United States property there, When he arrived in St. Louis the mob was holding im- mense meetings in different parts of the city. Taking an open carriage he and Lieutenaut Broderick, the adjutant of his iment, drove all over the city and past one of these monster meetiugs. His presence was no- ticed. After ho hiad passed oue of tho rioters suld, “General Davis, with the United States troops is here. I fought under him during the war. [ kuow he means business, 1'm going No more meelings or riots for we," This speech was echioed oy o half dozen of men, uitil finally one strapping big fellow 8tood up aid said: >l fougnt ngainst Geueral Davis frequently during the war, I know he mesns business, and you bet I'm goin, bome.” Oue by one y dropped ufi at Fort but few moeetings wpre held after that, and no large ones at all. Tt is_needless to say there were no riots in St. Louis after Gen- eral D and his command arrived there. A brass shield, haying on it raised lotters and borderyis inmemory of*‘Captain David H. Buell, ordnance,degartment, brevet licuten- ant-colonel, United States army, Killed July 23, 1870.” Colonol Huell was shot and almost instantly killed in his own vard late one night at Fort Loavenworth when returning from a party mth‘?n. wife, by a soldier whom ho had punished for some infraction of military discipline, The soldier hid in the underbrush around Fort Leavenworth for about two weeks, and thon attempted to escape by s vimmng the Missouri river, but was shot and kllfilod.’usz as he reached the Missouri side. « A black shield with gilt letters is in_mem- ory of “Captain Thomas Lee Brent, United States army, born February 6, 1813, died at Fort Leavenworth, Kan,, January 11, 1858, Blessed are the pure mn_ heart.” Next to this is a tablet to “‘Second Lieutenant John J. Crittenden, Twentioth United States in- fantry, June 25, 1876. Lieutenant Critten- den was the only infantryman in the Little Big Horn (Custer) massacro, and was buried ‘where he fell. . The last talot is brass on white marble, and bears the inscription ““In memory of the enlisted men of the United States army, who havae fallen in the line of duty in the de- partment of the Missouri. ‘Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.’ ' ‘There areother tablots to less distinguished men. Sufficient have been given to show the intenso interest of this chapel. Services are held here regularly every Sunday, the_Episcopal form of worship he- ing used. For a number of years it was under the charge of Chaplain Thomas W. Barry, United States army, now at Fort Sidney, Nob. Chaplain Harry was an en- thusiastic worker, an ardent churchman and did his Master's work well. After Chaplain Barry's departure, and beforo the arrival of Chaplain Henry Swift, the present incum- bent, Dr. T. C. Tupper, restor of St. Paul's church in Leavenworth held service every Sunday, either in the afternoon or evening. Many distinguished officers haye been mar- ried here, and many funerals of distinguished men have taken place from here. ‘T'he lust funeral being that of General Edwin Hatch, Colonel of the Ninth United States cavalry, which took place a few weeks since. General Hatch was buried with all the miltary ceremony duc his rank, and his honorable service to his coun- try. {u it not an interesting place? To-day, as flowers are lovingly strown on the soldiers’ raves, will not those whose memories are so nderly perpetuated in this sacred place come in for their full share, and as ‘‘taps” is blown, will not the angels that are hover- ing around waft some of the strains to this beautiful little chapel, and make it ring in honor of officers and soldiers who rest from ‘‘their labors and their works do follow them?” “Soldier, rdst ; thy warfare o'er; Sleep the sloep that knows not breaking; Dream of battle-flelds no more. Days of danger, nizhts of waking, ' In our isle's enchanted hall, Hands unseen thy couch are strewing, Fairy strains of music fall, Every sense in slumber dewing. Soldier, rest: thy warfare o'er, Dreain of fighting fields no moro; Sleep tho sleep that knows not breaking Morn of toil nor night of waking. ———— THE PARNELL COMMISSION. Not a Part of:ths Leagae's Duty to Recommend $hooting Landlords. Loxpox, May 2.—Maurice Healy, mem- bor of parliament for Cork, was a witness bofore the Parnell commission to-day. He admitted that the Cork branch of the leaguo had received applidations from other branches for a list of merchants who were members of tha léague, in ordor that other merchants might be boycotted. Healy held that it wus legitimate to place such pressure upon shopkeepers. Joseph Biggar kiad bben a member of the supreme council of the Fenian brotherhood, but was expelled for! advocating constitu- tional action. Ho joided the land league in 1879. He tesufied thavin a spoech at Castle- town he had #did it was no part of the league’s duty to mmend the shooting of landlords, but thn’& was its duty to defend anybody charged tith shooting landlords or their agents. H8 had said this because no confidence was placed in the administration of the law and he had held that the league ought to detend prisoners whose crimes were the outcome of bad Inws. Heand Patrick Egan were trustees of the funds of the league. He could not associate either Egan or Sheridan with outrages. Biggar sid he had contributed nothing to the Fenian funds. His ooject in joimng tho brotherhood was to obtain its assistance in parliamentary elections. On cross-examina- tion the witness said that he never took part in the work as the league's treas- urer, but left thav work to others, He did not know where the record of the money dealings of the league was kept nor did he even know why he has been_associated with Egan as treasurer. Just befoce the suppres- sion of the land league most of the books were removed. Thirty-two books had been handed to Soames, solicitor for the Times, Sir Henry James said it was a mistak thero were 1o such books fn Soamos’ posso sion. Biggar said that all tho important books of the league had been removed to England. He did not know that any of the books had been destroyed. He had not the slightest notion of what had become of the missing docu- ments, —— Music and Religion. SprINGPIELD, Obio, May 20.—The United Presbyterian general assembly, 1n sossion here, has again taken action on the use of the organ and other musical instruments in chureh worship, The complaint on that sub- ject is said to have come trom the represe: tatives of about 6,000 out of 125,000 members of the church. The judiciary committee, to whom the complaint was referred, brought in @ report, which wus adopted. It is in effect that it is inexpedient to change the rule adopted by the gencral assembly two years ago, whioh is that the use or exclusion of organs shall not be a bar to membership, but that each congregation shall determine its own vourse in this regard. No disruption is approhended from this action. e The Commerce Commission, Kaxsas Ciry, May 20.—A special from Jefferson City says that the inter-state com- merce commission gave a hearing to-day to Abrel Leonard, who charges the Chicago & Alton railrond with fixing extortionate charges for stipping live cattle, and his argument represented that the rates were S r cent higher in Missouri than in lowa and Ilinois, Attorneys for the railroad company claimed that this case was only the com- mencemont of a fight agulust tho welghing system adopted lnst January, and that shippers wanted thic rates fixed by carload.

Post, who recently aban- doned democracy and brought his paper, one of the oldest in the south, over.to the repub- lican party, has been in Washington several days, looking aftor somo private business. In answer to a question to-day as to the polit- ical situation in his section, he said: “Protection as a distinct. policy of govern mont to be fixed and continued, has been growing constantly since its very thorough discussion last year, and is now the question uppermost in the southern mind. Tnis is particularly true in Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama, where the immensé natural woalth of iron, coal, copper, zinc, marble, slate, timber, ete, is yet to be uncovered and util- ized. "his will be done, we think, under the wise system of laying discrimmating dutios that has already made the couatry great and prosperous, and our people are coming to un: derstand this more and more as they are able to get out of the heavy atmosphere of the the past. The old line whigs are still for a tariff, though some of them are unable to break the bonds of sentiment, which alone holds them to democracy. “‘Happily, the younger element in the south—and that element is coming to the front—is giving thought to material progres: to the industrial advancement of our section. There are thousands of men all over the south who do nov believe in the democratic doctrine of aceidental protection for rovenue only. They know that means free trade and that free trade means industrial destruction. A vositive system that protects and thereby develops iaternal affairs will find supporters in the coming contest in these men of whom I speak—the men of young blood who look ahead into the future and what it has in store, rather than backward into a past that was full enough, God knows, of bitterness, misery and woe. “I have faith that the ovents of last weck in New York will result in much good to- ward dissipating sectional prejudice. No such thing should exist. "We want a national union. 1 believe Depew’s oration will prove & great leveing force in the work on hand. The south is a grand section of a grand coun- try, and republicanism there is growing fast, notwithstanding what the southern gover- nord” nave said. I think Tennessee can be safely counted a republican state in future calculations. “‘Alabama is now in a condition of political revolution. Virginia gives us ex-Governor Walker as the advance guard of @ deter- mined break for progress ana prospority, and, in fact, democracy, is trembling all round, The president is & patriot, and with both houses of congress at his back he should have no trouble in satisfying the country. He is the most popular man in America to-day, and, I have contidence, will ‘become almost & public idol. “Democrats are as anxious to see official changes now as are the republicans. I hope they will be made rapidly. It is a question of party responsibility, and the country, having voted for a change, expects to see it very prompcly done. Any other policy is al- wost & proclamation that the president was elected by a party too illiterate and poorly qualitied in business ways aud general intel- ligence to furnish men competent to fll the offices. 1am in no sense a spoilsman—and for myself would accept no office under the sun, nor have I any favors of that kind to ask for any one else—but I think the reten- tion of democrats now in the government places is_a reflection upon the republican party, which, fairly interpreted, would seem to say ‘there is no merit, capacity or respon- sibility in the household: we must go out doors for confidential friends.” 1t is right to go slow; and the president, I presume, is orily getting the proper ‘lay of the land.’ *The negro problem, about whicn we hear 80 much, will solve itself. The negro is at home 1n the south, and although Governor Alcorn thinks poorly of him, he will work out his own material salvation. All he asks, 1 think 1 may say, is thut he be protected in civil and political rights, In social affairs the negro is unobtrusive to a striking degree. The race has made wonderful progress and deserves much credit. Whenever education has been possible the negro has developed good strong intelligence, and has done in his unlettered condition about as well as white men similarly sitvated. Any political move- ment, south or north, looking to the elimina- tion of the negro from participation in party affairs is worse than absurd, ~ No practical politician would think of such a thing, and no humanitarian will now attempt to circum- scribe and drive buckward » race of people making such rapid progress in the ascending scale of civilization and enlightenment. *1 have no doubt of the future in politics, so far as pertains to the south. WIith pro- tection and education in the forefront aud a sound financial policy by the administration, the republican party will carry three, at least, of the southern states in the next con- test, and the solid south, as a political actor, will be heard of no more forever. Progre: prosperity, the enlightenment of the masse aud the building up of a grander country than we have yet seun'whl follow.” a*y The discussion in the Canadian parliament regarding the president's proclamation, warning marauders to stear clear of Behring Sea, and agriust trespassing on our sealing grounds, is amusing. The ignorance shown in charging Secretary Blaine with being the cause of the president’s proclamation, is only in keoping with their ignorance on the seal subject generally. The president's procla- mation was issued according to law, in com- plisnce with an act of congress passed the Inst day of the last scssion of congress, Kannucks will please take notice. Meeting Mr. T. F. Ryan, of Indiana, a former special agant of the treasury depart- partment to Seal Islands, your corréspondent asked what he thought of the Canadian seal protest. He replied: “The Cunadians, true to the English idea, want the earth; thut's all. Besides, it scem: hardly possible for them to sevarate in the minds the seal from the cverlasting cod. 1f you desire to give the public, especially the Canadians, some information that will show them the difference between cod fshing aud seal hunting, I refer you to u batch of evi- dence taken before a committee of our last congress on our merchant marine aud seal fisheries.” Looking up the book of evidence alluded to, the letter w the secretary of the treasury is found, the last portion of which reads as follows: “The number of seals taken by marauders from Seal Island, or in the waters near by, are very fow in comparison to the great num- ber taken in the water from fifty to sixty miles south of the islands. Old seal hunters seldom bother the islands, and from informa- tion tobe had U5 per cent of seals taken by seal hinters in Behring Sea are token av o distance of from forty to seventy-five miles south of St. George's Islandsad. “The male seal (the class taken by the Alaska Commercial company for their skius( is luzy, and 6ticks close to the islands dur- ing the summer stay,and but forheavy rains or a hot sun, would seldom leave the islan atall; while the cows are constantly on the go to the feeding grounds, leaving their young to the watchful care of the old bull seals, While the female seals are protected by law from being killed, within the past seventeen yeurs the lessces have taken 1,700,000 niale seals, and yet the inore fomalo seais on the breeding grounds is not very perceptible, showing, I think, that they bave boeen taken'as I have indicated, by being wmore at the mercy of the hunters than the male seal. 1f there is no law to prevent the wholesale slaughter of the female seal, their extermination within ten, or at the furthest, uwenty years is certain.” The action of the tfustees of e Corcorau art gallery in practically barring out the art studonts by tho absurd rules which the; huve adopted, from the benefits of this insti- tution, 18 causing & revival among local art- 18ts intarested in all subjects relating to art outside of the gallery, and has perhaps, done more towards bringing the students of the pallot and brush ocloser together than they have been in a long time, A number of promising young artists are in this city, and among those who have recently added materially to his reputation, is Mr. Lows P, Spinner. This young man, who resided dur- ly years of his life in wostern Pennsylvania, came to Washington soveral years ago and opuned a studio as a crayon artist and portrait painter. He has done soms remarkably clever work in this line, and has painted a groat many still-life pic- tures which have attracted much attention. Hs latest effort is a new conception of an old subject. On a canvas 62x05 nches he has depicted Charlotte Corday during the last moments of her life. Everyone remem- bers the heroine as sho appears bohind tho bars in that well-famous picture which has been represented in 8o many difforent wavs. Mr. Spinner has a full length portrait of the brave woman sitting at a table in her cell ‘writing her last letter to her counocil, Daulcet de Ponte’Cordaut. The executioner is about to lead her forth to tho guillotine, and Charlotte has turned to him to beg a minute's more time in order that she may finish her opistle, The figures are well draw coloring is fine and . of the picture is as ng as such a subject could bs made, It s attracting a great deal of attention locally.
