THE OMAHA DAILXY:BEE: MONDAY, JULY 8, 1889 OMAHA SEVEN RUNS AHEAD. The Result of Yesterday’s Game With 8t Joe. IT WAS A VERY LIVELY BATTLE, And Was Only Interrnpted Long Enough for the Presentation of a Gold Watch to Joo Walsh, Omaha 15, St Joseph 8, Despite the excessive torridity of the weathar, there were several thousand people at the ball park yesterday afternoon, and yet some people say that baso ball is on the wane, Again the attraction was the Omahas and the St. Josephs, and the game they put off was of thut lively. hustling, exhileraiing kind that all ardent admirers of the great sport love to behold. { For two hours and more fickls fortune toyed with the crowd. Now she raised their hopes, now she lowered them, then up they'd g0 again, only to falla moment later, but finally th were hoisted to stay, and the swelling crowd shouted forth their foelings in wild acclaim. Butreally it was a lively battie, one of tho best and most thrilling.that has been played upon the grounds in a month, How did it happen ! Just wait and 1'1l tell you, ‘The White Sox wero first at tho bat. Serappy Jack thought he saw ono that suited him. He was mistaken. [t got no further than the little bird who plays short for the Grays, aud ho siammed Jack out at first. Cleveland, too, 1s summarily disposed of, but Jakey Strauss had his “good eye” open and ambled to first on four wide ones. A pussed ‘ball let him to third. Willis was then given o life on McGarr's bad fumble, which made Chippey so red headed that he allowed Mes- "El" o score before he could recover himsolf, hen he was hot, und the bleachers guyed him unmercifully. ‘Walsh now stepped to the plate, but before he could throw his Cyclopian form into a All:\nnahiux posture, Umpire Briody called time. Everybody wondered what was up, except a few who wondered what was down. The denouement was quickly forthcoming, however, for Briody drew from the folds of his polonaise a plush case, in which nestled a handsome gold watch and cha It was from Joe's many twarm friends, a little token of their apnreciation of the brill- iant ball he is playing. Happy youth! Ho doffed his hat again and sgain to the applauding crowd, and then the game was ro- sumed. Joe smashed out a whizzing liner to center and somebody in the stand yeiled, “Give him anothier watch ! Of course this mado the But no more_runs got retinng the side. 0 St Joe then came in for her "whack at the all. Cartwright made a hit; Curtis got to first on a dizzy muff by Canavan, and Avdner fol- lowing with a sufe one, big Cartleft came toddiin ome. McC: went out, but King and Petie Hotaling followed with singles, ‘and both Curtis and Ardner crossed the rubber, The next two men strack out, but three runs had como in an ybody said that we ‘were doomed to get it in the neck again. But everybody was mistuken. In the third, on Walsh's dandy three- sacker, Nagle's base on balls and_Canayan's Tong drive for four pillows, the White Sox tallied thr and were one ahead, ‘hen maybe the crowd didn't stout, In their half the St. Joe's tied the score. King made asingle, reached sccond on the return of the ball, and home on Hotaling’s drive. In the fifth the White Sox again electrified their friends by vounding out three more runs, and in the sixth they scored still another. This gave them a lead of four rums, and victory secmed o certainty. But again in the seventh did the sturdy, slugging St. Joes tie the game, for_on glugles by Klopf, Cart- 7ight, Curtis and McGarr and a turee-sack drive by Krieg, they piled up four runs. It made the peopie sick—two defeats at the hands of the Pukes in ssuccession was uore than they could endure. But they didn't have to. T the elghth the Omahas made up their minds to cease monkeywng and show their friends what a little real, genuine batting was. Nichols began by striking out, but Messitt ot his baso on an error by Ardner. Then Sleveland thought he sas oue that ho liked, and he hit a smash that sent Messitt ncross the plate and landed him on second. Strauss followed with a three-bugger, and this, ‘to- ether with singles by Walsh, Canavan and drews, and a three-sacker by Nagle, netted #ix runs and won the game beyond all dispute or word. Then just for a clmcher, Clove- land knocked out a homer in the ninth, and a8 the Grays failed to do anything further, the struggle ended with Omaha seven runs ahend.

AnATS0, Neb,, July Valparaiso is going to havo a now depot at last. Tho site chosen is inside of the south fork of the 'Y,"” whera the track from Lincoln separates, one branch towards Stromsburg, the other to Omana.

Dr. Lamar délivered a sormon at tho First Baptist chureh of this clty on “Religion in the Home.", Helow will be found a syn- opsis: 1 Text, First "Timothy, v. 4: “Let them tearn first to show piety wt home." Beecher says: “God has represented us chiefly in the biblo, not by mnature, not vy vivil government, but by the relations of man n the family.” And Talmage says: “A charch within a church, a republic within a republic, a world within a world is spelled with fous lotters: h-o-m-e.'! The family is the heart of the state, the corneratonoe of society, the foundation of the nation, the true church, and the bost ex- pounder of christianity. The church is the with one Father, and one Elder brother, As we stand in front of the white house, und look upon that homeliko mansfon, we are fmpressed with the sacred reverence our hers had for the family. God's idea of the family had deep root in the hearts of those old time people. ‘The thought did not seem to oceur to them that we should ever have a president who had not first been inauguratod as the head of a family: Personally 1 would prefer that a mother should b president, ruther than a bachelor, Whoever presides ' over this nation should know all the needs_and wants of tho famuly relation, and we can not do too much to exait the idea of the family. The nation owes more to it than to any other institution, and derives more public good from it. Tho fam- ily 1elation fosiers patriotism, virtue, educa- tion and all that helps to make a nation great i peace and .in war. The family s the strongest defense and smeld against the m-sv.mg evils that tend to destroy national o, Thy influenco of home begins with our birth, and we nover outgrow it. It cises a powor over us greater than any other power on earth. If asked what throne ex erts the greatest power over the people of the carth to-day, I should say the mother's rocking chair, and the ags of the nursery. ‘The memori and the love of home are with all that is best and most and endur- ing in our ivilization. It the home is all the in- fluences radinting from that home are o pub- lic us well asa private benefaction, 13ut if the home life of the peoplo is wrong 1t drives our citizens to wretcheduess, despair and crime. Men are driven to us, pilgrim- ages, vice and death, by the unliappiness of home life. From unhiappy homes the in- mates are driven to bad associations, und the inmates of such a home generally go to per- dition. If you would have happy homes, T counsel you first of all to ifivite the Lord Jesus to come and dwell infyour home. If it is a bome just schuip lot him be the fir guest you invite to it. Whoever cise may come and go lethifn know that he is ever welcome. Ihat home in the hills of I3ethany was wonderfuily Messed by his frequent vis- its there, and ivhelped them to know that he might come at any hour. A ereat many young couple have been married within the past few months—per- haps some of them miy hear or read these words—let me urge them even though only one ve a Christian, let that one read the bible to the other, ‘and ask the blessing of God upon both. Dy not wait to get to house- keeping; but if you have only oneor two rooms réad your bible aud scek the direction and blessing of God. In ninety-nine cases out of u , hundred, husbauds or wives will” jresgact L other re- ligious feelings §f ther evidence of sincerity, Somd of you may have been yoked toizethier thi¥ears, and never yot - vited the Lord fotome into your hom not wonder that you get on 80 poorly who never mvite Christ to the home are very liable to have domestic estrangervents and difficulties that frequently end in divorce, [t can be safely said that n nine cases out of ten where divorces have been granted within a vear that they would not have taken placa if" the couple had started right, had started with Christ in their homes, There is nothing like Christianity for teaching the relations and duties tha; wives and husbands owe to each other children, and that _the children ow parents.'If the children are influenced by re ligion they will be kind, obedient and duti- ful, not only while they remain in the home, but in after years. There is no piety in the heart of a son or daughter who can but will not provide for a widowed mother or a de- pendent father. Even among beathens it is regarded as a meinuess to forsuke a parent and leave them for othe; upport. 1t is only u Godless sou ov da who will let a parentgo to the poorhousa as long as they have nands o work and shelter to invite them to. “Over the Hills to the Poorhouse,” is the title of a bal by Wikt Carleton. He had found an old woman who had been turned off by her prosperous sous. 'There is scarcely a community in which there can not be found instances of a lack of fillial love. It seoms as if the bible, too, gives us a disgust with unfillial cond presents tho story of Michah, who stole cleven thousand shekels of silver from his mother, awl the case of Absolom, who ra- belled 'aguinst his father, and the wicked £ons of Elli who despised nis counsel. We know with what judzments God overtook all of them. By contrast with these how like diadems in golden settings s the great love und grand con- duct of Joseph in his treatmoent of hus father: and the conduct of Jesus, who, 10 his dying hour, provided for his widowed mother. Again: Religion in the home will soften its trials and sustain us under them, No homs can always have sunshine and prosperity. ‘I'ne storm, or blighting wind, is traveling around the world towards every and some time it will arrive thero. Ther will ba troubles of a domestic kind. There will bo trouble with the servants and the children. There will be sickness and the als of poverty, and your brow will often feel the uewd of the calming, cooling touch of divine compassion. Thers will bo times when the husband witl need all the calmness, und love, and soluce of & loving wife to bold him up and keep him from despairing, What is home in such trials without the religion of Jesus! Butif Hebe there He will comfort you in all the relations of life. In comwuni- ties out on the prairie, close by many homes, they have what is called a *'storm pit," into which the family may fleo when they see o storm coming, 8o ws to.be safe if fithe homa is blown away. 1p éory home there should be a refuge from.the-storms of life, Christ is your only rofugg., A christian man wont away from home ' leaving two beauti- ful " boys. Whilo" he was absent, diptheria seizod mpon them and took them both. He rdhivned home, not knowing what had happened. His Christian wife, knowing now teréfbie this blow would be, met hum at the door and said, ‘“My husband, Tonce had two bestdtiful jowels loaned me. While you wero gohg! the owner came for them; ought I to havé given them back}" vOfoourss,” ho wafly, ‘you should roturn thew when he calfed for “them.” Then she callod him into the ¥odm and showed bim the doud boys, Aftogmepbine bosido thir cotln ho said: - »Now Jkoow what you' mean by the jewels that wewe:loaned you, and who it was that has callell fdr their return. ‘Pho Lord gave and th& Lord taketh sway; blossed be the naha’oY the Lord.’ Finally: Keligion in the howme is the only thing that can give us persoual support when we come to die. We shall all soon enter the gate of death, What shall we do in that hour when neituer riches, nor music, nor art, nor friends, nor position, nor loved oncs; nor auy earthly help cuu avail us, e Fire at Walnut Hill, A five occurred on Forty-fifth street, in Walaut Hill, aboutdo'elock yesterduy morn- ing.

Unfortunately, however, Washington lacks men who aro willing to put up tnoir money to advance a project which is something more than local 1n its dosign.

New York city, on the other hand, has lots of business men who are ready to come down handsomely with the cash in advance, and it is said for the motropolis that it will not ask aid from congross to the extent of one dollar if it can get the governmont to sanction the project for an exhibition vhere. It would be a great benefit to Washington people, as well as Wushington institutions, if the proposed three America’s expositions could be held in this city, but i spite of the encouraging rosolutions which have beon passed by boards of trade all over the country from time to time, thore is no present reason to believe that the scheme will prove successful, Mr. Joseph Howard, Jr., in one of his recent letters, tells the general public how it happens that the nowspapers of the country aro able to present obituury sketches of prominent people 1 the issuo following tho death of these prominent people. Mr. How- ard s-ys that overy well regulated newspa- per office has aseries of pigeon holes in which obituary sketches are stored away, and he cites the fact that the New York Herald bLas constantly on hand about seven thousand of these sketches, The New York Herald's sketches will not begin to compare in num- ber with those on filo in the obituary room of the Boston Journal. This is one of the most unique features of Now I id journahsm, or ye and years, in fact almost ever nce'the Journal was established, the pro- | prietor and editors have been constantly saving up sketehes of prominent men. One large room is devoted entirel stor: f these sketches. They embrace brief biographies of every man prominent in New England, even down to the minor town officials, and a good story is told 1n this con- nection, showing how widespread is the Bos- tor Journal's work. On one occasion the Journal with a very nice little sketch of had died down on the cape the da e. Three or four days after the fureral the son of the deceased entered the ofice of the Boston Journal, and seeking out tho editor asked as a special favorto be informed where the facts contained in the sketch b been secured, and whether the editor absolutely certain as to the dates said that tho family of the deceased had not known exactly the day of his birth, and that they had lefs the date blank on the coftin plate until the Journal sketeh advised them., He was shown a_ brief biography in in tho hand-writing of his father, with the old gentieman's signature at_the bottom. It had veen writtén years befor writer was a member of the legislature, or some local board of commissioners, or some- thing of that sort, and the editor of the Jour nai explained that its reporters and corre- spondents all_over New England were con- stantly engaged in gathering just such ma- terial with a view to its use in the future. But altiough the Boston Journal's home oftice 18 well supplied with obituary mater- ial, it is doubtful if there is a place in tho country which is 8o rich in matter of this kind as the office of the Boston Journal's Washington correspondent. Mr. E. B. Wight, The gentleman referred to, has had a fad for mun who 10 OFFICE ) came out | yoars. This fad Is the collection of scraps, and 8o deep seal has this fad become in him that it is almost a mania to-day. Mr. Wight receives do 4. in his office forty or fifty newspapors, nid not one ever goes out beforo the soissors have clipped out its b fontures. Mr. Wight's scraps are systemati- cally arranged into chaptors and sub- jects, and although he must lLave at a low estimate two or three million stored away in his house, he can get any one when noodad and at o moment's notice, and can tell at a glauce whether or not he has a viopraphical sketch of any man _about it may be necessary to write, Mr. Wight is a quiot, unobtrusive man, but ho Sas a 1ibrary of information under his roof which is perhaps unequalled 10 its scope by any similar collection in tho world. He first commenced while pract; before the fire in 1571. At that timo bis scrap library was entirely destroyed, but when he came to Washington ho' started over again, and for noarly twenty yoars has been adding dajly to the vast horde which is almost invaluabie to him av this time. Recontly Mr. William E. Curtis, the woll known author and correspondent of tho Chicago Daily News, returned from a telp to Vonezuela, whoro he had boen tho guest or the president of that republic. Upon his ro turn from that republic Curtis found a note awaiting hun from Generul A, W. Greely, in which the goneral apologized for not having acknowledged tho recoipt of certain books nine years ago. General Gireely said in his lotter that tie books referred to, which were a sot of Appleton’s encyclonoding, had afforded the men of Point Barrow oxpedition u great deal of amusoment as well as in struction. He knew, ho went on, that they ought to have returned the books, but un. fortunately, owing to the manner in which the party came back, it was found absolutely nec to abaudon cveaything of this kind, and while the volumes were cashicred somewhere in tho vicinity of the North Pole if thoy are ever sccured tho gencral prom- ises that they shall be roturuedto Mr, Cur- tis, Mr, Curtis replied to this in a lottor which is quito intoresting. He said that the books had been loaned, he koew, but he had ouly stipulated that they should be given back to him because he should like to have them ns mementoes of that trip if they should ever come back to this country, Thon ho told the general how he came in possession of s du- Dlicato set of encyclopedias, Ho said some years ago Frank Burr, a newspaper man who made an uucnviable reputation by writing bogus memoirs of Generals Grant and Sheridan, and palming them off on the general publicas the genuine articles, had borrowed some money from him, and when he. found that he could bor- row no wore, had put up_a very handsomely bound set of Appleton’s encyclopedins as collateral, promising to redeem them with in a year. Mr, Curtls had waited a year, and then had taken them to his house and brought down an old set to the of- fico. When Captain Howgate asked for books he sent off the old set with the stipu: lation above mentioned. Subsequoatly, de siring to have some volumes of the annual encyclopedin bound in the same style as the Burr set, he had been informed by the agent that the compuny had been looking for that | set for some time; what 1t had been especial- 1y prepared and bound for Mr. Burr at great expense, and had never been paid for. An ex-cadet at Annapolis tells a very in- teresting story of that admirable foundry, which is of interest at the present {ime be- cause it shows how the presont naval attache of the United States in London was taken down a peg. This attacho is Commander McCalla, who has a gallant record as an ofticer of the marine corps. Along about 1874 or 1875, somewhere in that neighborhood, he was the acting commandant of the academy at Annapolis, and ho was very strict, not only in his discipline but in his demands upon the young men in his ¢ tter of the of AN U He utterly tabooed the word **pants,” and when- ever a young middy made out a requisition for a pair of trou nd called them pants sure to be refused. morning during inspection, Cadet Slidell Rozors was singlod out b ommandant because of the delapida- tion which was apparent in his nether X iined that he had m, and that ay would net come around ag weeks.
