Thore is no discount on Omaha's Sunday bali crowds, There were at least 5,000 peo- ple present at the park yesterday afternoon ~a grand assemblage. They all went out to sco the White Sox got in their boney-montgomery for the third consecutive time upon the Apostles. But they wore woefully disappointed, for the visitors were on their mettlo, and they gave the locals such a smash botween the eyes that they won't forget it for many and muny a day. It was an off day with oearly the entire team, Waish, Canavan and Clarke being the only ones who escaped without an error. It was the yellowest game of the season, and is 10 be regrotted, inasmuch as it was witnessed byfuch a magnificent crowd. fust think of it! St. Paul piled np no less than eight great big corn-fed runs in the first mnning, by the grace of four hits and four errors, 1t seemed for a time as if the Omahas had lost their senses, and they floundered around the dinmond and in the fleld like a lot of fish out of water. Muffs, wild throws, fumbles and other choico bric-a-brac ornamented their every move, and it looked as if they never couid put the side out. Clarke, who was in the box, was not him- self. He was suffering from a strain in tho side sustained in Thursday's game, and ould never bave gone in to pitch at all. Still, Clarke's work was not accountable for the defeat by any means, for had his col- leagues played with a semblance of their normal form, another scalp would bo dang- ling at their belt. He batted beautifully, se- curing two corking singles and a home run, and as it was, the Samts got but one more hit off him than the White Sox did oft Willie Mains and Old Dan Tucker. The boys knocked Willie out of the box 1n the fifth inning, and had they had another whack at him, they wouid surely have won the game. But Tucker displaced him, and the change worked well, for at critical times he was a tower or strength. The score, however, will supply all neces- sary particulars. Here it 1s: OMATA.

Connell's residence was burglarized about 2 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Con- nell heard somaone prowling about the houso and proceeded to investigate, The burglar took alarm and made his escape, taking with nim two pins belonging to Mrs. A. M. Chad- wick, one of them being a diamond valued at $100. He also carried off a few articles of clothing belonging to Mr, Connell and sev- eral pieces of silverware. A large quantity of clothing and silverware was gathered together ready to be carried away, but the investigation of Mr, Connell frustrated this part of the scheme. The burglar gainea an entrance through a window opening into a smaii room under tho stairs. He took off his shoes and left them outside, and, judging from their size, he must have been a giant, as the shoes are enormous. It was found that the contents of a number of the rooms had been rifled, showing that the man had been at work some time before he was discovered, He tried the doors of several of the sleeping apartments, but found them locked. It was this proceeding which aroused Mr. Connell. Nd.° clue of thethief has yet been discov- ero FERGSFI A bR SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. An Omaba Man Injured.

Glimpsoes of Portland, Tacoma, Seattlo and Spokane Falls—Examples of Enterprise Which Omaba Could Profitably Copy. amples of Entorprise. Portuaxp, Ore., August 14.—[Specil to Tur Ben. |—Portland is the chief city of the northwest. It is the commercial and finan- cial pivot of a group of thriving young cities which strotch out iike an open fan in Wash- ington territory. Theseare Spokane Falls, Tacoma and Seattle. They are pushing, progressive towns, peopled by energetic men, who do not tie & string to the dollars invest in enterprises calculated to con- serve the peneral good. Spokane Falls derives its chief prominence from the water power in the vicinity. This is sa1d to surpass the Falls of St. Anthony, and is second only o Niagara. Four mills are now operated by this power, and two are in process of erection. There is great ac- fvity t in the building line, stone und wood veing the chief materials used, and the sup- ply of both is apparently un limited, cheap and convenient, Elactric motor street rail- ‘ways are being built and will be in operation ths fall. Omana people and papers who persistently fought tho mnetwork of wires which Mercer's motor spread over the city would be astonished to see the methods in use here as well as iu other coast cities, The poles are placed m the center of the street, between the tracks, and the wires suspended from iron arms. The result 1 destructive to the appearance of the strects, seriously impedes traMic, and endan- g\:rn life and limb. _But the peoplo care not or appearances, The chief ambition 1s to build a town without regard to consequences. The Pelouse valley and the Coeur d'Alene mines to the snutheast and the Colville val. ley to the north, furnish the commercial strength and sustenance of Spokane. I was deeply impressed with the euncrgy and liber- ality displayed receutly by the monayed men of the town. It is in sharp and cheerful con- trast with the parsimonlous SNAIL PACE OF OMAIA In matters of supreme importance to the commercial growth of the metropolis. For five years or more Omaha has stretched and strained her lungs and shed a millpond of 1k discussing and arguing the building of a northern railroad That long feit want still romains unfilled, the trade of South Dakota 18 gravitating to other channels, and millions of idle money is gathering rust in the vaults of the city. Spokane felt the nec- essity of a railroad to the north., The rich Colville valley, with its abundance of timber and rapidly increasing agricultural products, demanded railroad facilivies. Thé business men of the did not waste time and breath discussing ways and means. They planked down the cash for preliminary work, organized a company, placed their paper on the market, and in three days $500,000 was put up. The road is now being built, and seventy-five to one hundred miles will be in operation this fall. Such enterprise and promptitude cannot fail of success, and Spo- kane is bound to prosper while her people possess the means and vigilance to grasp the main chance aud tura it to account. Tacoma and Seattle are active rivals for the supremacy of Puget sound. The former is the foster child of the Northern Pacific. 1t is located on the southern extremity of the sound, with acres of swamp exposed at low tide. This gives the air that rich, luxuriant aroma peculiar to a group of RENDERING FACTORIES ON A BOOM. The town is porched on a plateau fifty to one hundred feet above the bay, is compactly built, and bustling with business. Lots are staked in the timber six miles out, and a patch 25x125, regulation size, can be had for 8200. Choice business property in town commands as high as $300 a foot front. The fire which swept Seattle last May was a blessing in disguise. It was the only sure means of wiping out blocks of rookeries, remniscences of pioneer days, which re- tarded the growth of the city and were a menace to enterprise. Hundreds of these shells went down in the besom of Hame,car- rying with them many fine business blocks, Scourged by fire, the city is now rising from its ashes In suhstantial and magnifieont pro- portions, and in a few weeks will bs one of ‘the best built and handsomest cities in the ‘west. It has one of the FINEST HARBORS ON TIE CONTINENT, and enthusiastic residents cherish the hope that it will soon rival San IPrancisco in the trade of the orient. The Uaion Pacific com- pany controlsa large and valuable area of the water front, and it is almost certain that the Oregon Short Line will be extended here if the coming congress passes the sixty year xtension bill, Portland is one of the richest cities in the union for its population. Its locavion. is invit- ing and charming. Tho compactness of the business section, cosy and eostly residence delightful shades and shrubbery, a fore- ground of rising country which stretches in perspective until _ lost in the glistening heights of Mt.

During the past ten years her moniod men nursed their millions and greve indifterent to the commer- cinl noods of the”dity.

The Awful Results of a Young Wife's Innocent Mistake. “That’s a protty, homelike little place, isn’t it?” asked a follow passenger of the writer for the Iouisville Com- mercial on an incoming Lexington train a fow evenings ago. The “little place” referred to was a cottage home not many miles this side of Lexington, a half mile back from the railroad, and seen from the teain window with all its pretty en- vironments did look like a refuge for hapviness in a refined state of purity, where some loving couple, free from the perplexities and sins of the world, might find & pure tuste of heaven. *‘‘Woell,” contmued the speaker, as the train flew by other scenes just as pretty, *‘there is o tragically sad story connected with that place about which but little has ever been published, and the true in- wardness of which but few know. Five yearsago it was the home of as happy a vairof moderately wealthy young peopie as could be found in the state. They had gouth, wealth, a name as well known and untarnished as that of any of the old families in this section, and a little daughter in whom was centered thew combined love. They ought to have been, and I believe were as happy as any couple in the state. One afternoon the wife re- ceived a letter postmarked at a hittle town in Indiana, near “where she had lived when she came to Kentucky on a visit and met the man she afterward loved and wed. She laughinly told her husband, but with evident embar- rassment, that she ‘had a secret’ and would have to go“to Louisville. He at that time ktiéfv but little about his wife’s Indiana kitispeople, whom he had only seen at the time of their wedding and on the two dr three visits he had made at her hdmi¢ during the brief en- ragement which followed theirmeeting n Kentucky. e never wondered at his wife’s conduét that day at the start, and assisted hed off to the train next worning, halftfestingly demanding the author of the letter which called her away. She néver told him, however, and his parting’words were a caution not to miss the ‘evening train, as he and “baby’ would he theasy and lonely. “The woman'idl made the first mis- take of her lifg in not telling her hus- band the troth. Shé was on her way to meet a scape ;m‘co of a brother who had written pléading for atr interview and for a little “money" for “which he dared not go home. She reached Loui ville, went to the Galt house, near the depoY, registered and sent the ’ brother, who came and whom she talked long enough to miss her train. The tele- gram she sent ‘reached the station we just passed, for some reason, later than the train she should have been on, and the minute the latter passed the young husband’s anxiety was converted into something like jealous fright. He took the next train for Louisville, reached there after dark, and at the clerk’s desk in the Guult found that his wife was in Room —. ‘Have a boyshow me up,’ said he, registering the same name further down the page; ‘she is my wife,, and then he looked strangely at the clerk, who, with a peculiar smile, had said: *She has a visitor now—a gentle- man who called early in the day.’ ““Well, to make‘a short story of it, he beat his card to the door, and, with feel- ings he himsell did not understand, "burst into the room, his face livid with rage, and & cry of ‘What does this mean? The young wife, who was even then deprecating to her brother the mistake which was keeping her aw: from home, read in her husband’s face and demand all that he thought, and was horrified in return. Too indignant 1o immediately explain, she stood star- ing at ham with what he thought was a guilty look, until crazed by he knew not what he struck her down, turned to the brother, who had eseaped to the hall and down stairs, leaving his out- raged sister to explain to her misguided husband, The latter followed too late to find him, and telling the clerk in a strange voice that his wife would re- main all night,and that he woulan’t, left the hotel. *‘He spent the night walking the streets and watching the hotel entrance for the man he fully intended to mur- der. How the young wife spent that night will never be known. She must have been already mad, when next morning she returned home, and, pack- ing a few of her belongings. seized her child, and'was leaving her home nevor to return, .

ROLLED MEAT, Take two pounds of the tender part of round stenk and cut it into three slices. Spread out each piece and scat- ter over each its [air share of two table spoonfuls of finely chopped suet, one small onion, also chopped, and a salt- spoonful each of salt and pepper. Then roll up each piece and tie with string or thread. Heat an iron pot hot and into it put two table spoonfuls of rendered suet, or one-nalf butter and one-half suet. Into this put a sliced onion, and, when it is well browned, put in the rolls of meat and place over a hot part of the range. When the meat begins to brown, add one-half a.cup of boiling water, cover the pot tightly and draw a little back from the hottest fire and let the meat cook slowly for an hour or longer, suys a writer in the Home-Maker. When the meat tears easily with the fork, re- move it and taie off the strings. Strain the gravy left in the pot and carefully skim off ‘the fat from the top. Rub one table spoonful of flour smooth in a little cold water and stir into the gravy, and let it hoil up one moment. Season to taste with salt and pepper andpourover the rolls of meat. If this dish is done before the dinner hour it is not hurt at all by standing. Put the meat into the gravy and keep it hot. FILLED FLANK. Take one and one-half pounds of flank steak, and have the butcher cut a “‘pocket” in'it. Mix together one-nall pound of finely chopped round stealk, half a slice of bread, softened with water but carofully drained,a salt spoon- ful each of salt and pepper, one chopped onion and one whole egg. Fill the " with this mixture and tie up the meat. Pot-r t the flank in the same manner as the rolled meat and serve with a gravy made in the same way. If the water added in pot-roast- ing cooks away, more should be added in proportion to the amount which has evaporated. FRIED POTATOES. Slice raw potatoes into cold water. Take one table-spoonful of rendered suet and one of butter and put it into a shallow sauce-pan, and fry in it till brown, one sliced onion. Drain the potatoes in a cullender and dry on a towel. Put them into the saucepan, stirring often and when they are alight yellow pour in half a cup of boiling water. Cover tightly and stir occasion- ally till the patatoes are done.

Cut ripe peaches into thin slices and simmer them slightly in a syrup made of half a pound of sugar to every pound of peaches. Remove from the syrup and lay in shallow dishesin the sun, and day pour over them a portion of p, which must have been boiled v thick after the peaches were cooked in it. Turn the peaches over from time to time. Cover them with thin muslin tacked to a frame soas to protect them from dust and insects. When all of the syrup has been used up and the fruit is well dried, pack away closely in boxes lined with thick paper, sifting sugar on ench layer of peaches as you pack them While Baby Takes His Naps, M.

The Ebony Damsels Whom Legitime Has Enlisted in His Army. The war in Hayti, where the alleged rightful ruler Legitime is being driven into his last ditch by the alleged vevolutionary leader Hippolyte, has developed an interesting foature in the drafting of womon into the army of the formerf snys the New Orleans Picayune. Legitime has been worsted on every field and driven back until his domain is limited pretty mearly to his capital city of Portau Prince. As his army has dwindled away largely by | desertion to the other faction, he found himself without troops to man his forti- {fications, for his city was long ago strongly fortifiod by the Spaniards and French who held 1t at different periods. In this extremity Legitime has hit upon the plan of filling up his depleted ranks with women. 'l‘here being a sur- plus of the softer sex in the capital of the negro republic, it has bean possible to enroll quite n number of these ebony amazons, who are not embodied in ex- clusive battalions of their own sex, but stributed among the men. These women are dressed in masculine cos- tumes, and said to look very much like negro youths of the mule persuasion. The Haytian negroes, where th have been amalgamated with the native Caribs, have become almost beardless, particularly when the men are young, and hence these Haytian amazons are said to be distinguishable from the males when all are standing in line to- gether, chiefly by the fact that the faces of the women are more pleasing and less hard and brutal than are those of the men. Every person who has seen our own fair amazons on the stage or engaged in a broom drill will have noticed that in the peculiar conforma- tion of the sex the superior swell at the haunches and the lesser breadth of shoulders combine to exert special ef- fects upon the manual of arms. When the guns are brought to a ‘‘carry,” being rested against the hip and upon the shoulder, they do not stand erect, but incline at an angle to- wards the head of the fair soldier. Moreover, whon the troops are aligned in ‘‘position of the soldier” it is more easy for them to touch hips than elbows as required by the code, und should the time ever come when the armies of the white nations are to be made up of women, it is to be hoped, in the interest of grace und symmetry, that somebody will design special arms and a manua, for their use suited to the conformation of the beautiful sex. When the mascu- line creature takes up the trade of a soldier he goes in for show and gets himself up as gorgeously as possible. If we are to have hereafter an army of amazons, they should be made up altogether lovely. Fortunately, the ancient style of “excision of the breast will not be perpetuated. That was done to enable the fair warrior to draw the bow to its utmost reach. Now, the drawing of the beaux is doae in quite a difforent manner,as the ancient weapons of barbarism have all been discarded. But to return to the Taytians, those sable Moll Pitchers and maids of Sara- gossa have not yet done any fighting: but should they be driven to it the, will probably display as much bravery as women do in an emergency. It seoms a brutal outrage to drive the softer sex into battle, but if we are to credit_ancient traditions, it has been often done, and in view of the [act that the entire civilized world is accumulat- ing a constanily increasing defi of men and a corresponding excess in the number of women, it is not out of the reach of possibility that the myths of the Old World amazons may be re- alized in fact as time advances. What has been will be again WHERE DOGS ARE DOOMED, The Latest Mode of Killing Gotham Curs, These are the dog days, and as a con- sequence of the cherished superstition pertaining thereto many dogs have a dny at the pound. The pound is now situated at the foot of Iast One Hun- dred and Second street, and the ans-producing neighborhood of Iast Sixteenth street, where the yelp of the imprisoned cur was wont to break the stillnessof the summer sol- stice, knows it no more. The custodiun is Mr. William inn, and be has under his care on the average about seventy- five dogs a day.

A GALA DAY AT FREMONT, The Leading Young German Athlotes of Nebraska Meet and Measure Strength and 8Skill—Orowne ing of the Victors. Yesterday was the final day of the state turnfest at Fremont, and excursionists from all parts of the state poured into that city tc witness the athlotic sports and participate in the closing festivities. Tho largest delega tion went from Omaha, ton ocars filled with Jolly excursionists steaming out of this city at0:45a. m. A finer appearing aggregation 0f excursionists is raroly seen. - All the looal German societies were reprosonted and the crowd comprised all the best Deutsche fam- ilies in the city.

Mondays, ~ Wednesdays and Fridays are the days of doom, and uniucky criminals not rescued on the interveniog days are summarily sout to the happy hunting grounds. The ignominious cur is by no means alone in suffering this enforced retire- ment to his last sleep, Rare and costly dogs go down with him. A few days ago there were under sentance of death in the pound several fine collies, fox terriers and sotters. The surprising thing is that these valuable dogs should be allowed to die when anyone can take them out and acquire absolute owner- ship on the payment to the poundmaster of %3 a head. The method of killing the dogs nowin vogue 18 much more humane than the old one of drowning, says the New York Times. They &re put into an oblong covered box lined with zine and large enough to hold forty-eight. The dogs are admitted through a vertically-opou- ing door at one end, As soon as the box is full the door is closed and ordi- navy illuminating gas drawn from a street main is turned on by a valve in the top of the box. The dogs fall asleep without llain. and in & few minutes are dead. Then the gas is turncd into the river bya valve in the bottom of the box. A door at the end of the box oppo- site to that by which the dogs enterod is raised, and vhe bottom of the box, which travels on rollers, is drawn out with the carcusses. spot.” Tho wight of brond fields of corn and strotchies of meadow was o truly refroshing one to the city toilors, while the scent of new mown hay wafted' through the car win- dowa was sweeter thun tho attar of roses.
