NSHRINED among the memories of dolce far niento ‘neath the ceru- lean vauit which poets bave sung for ages is a face swarthy, sinistor, determined. It may have belonged to one of the banditii who swarmed over Italy’s soll, but the chances are it was owned by a maca- roul maker. The simple idens that were inspired in primitive times by the contemplation of the spectacle of Count Campau pushing a banana cart through the stroots of Genoa have boen transformed, if not completely overthrown, by his coaching performances on the ball fleld in theso modert times In this day and ago the fans have scarcely over heard thero existed such a man as tho Count, and only rocall the name as figuting {n some old posm, porvadod with & mytho. logical porfume, and out of print these many, many years, and thoy didn‘t know what to make of him. Butthe old men in the audience remembored well the venerablo banana ven- der, and as ho pirouetted about over the bud- dingd andolions in his fiendish itahan gleo, their minds were led back to ancient times, and open-eyod thoy gazod unon him as oue rosurrected und infused with new body and new life. Is it any wounder, then, we lost the gamo, when compelled to buck up against such a mouldy and antiquated curio as the Couut? So much for history. “This aftorncon tho battlo is to bo renewsd, and as President Jimmy Adolphus Williams has sent forth his pronunciamento to umpires that boistorous coaching must quit, we cail Mister Snyder’s attention to two men in the Buokeye aggregation—the Count and Reddy O'Rourke. They must both be sat on, and sat on nard, thoe Count for making too much noise and Reddy for not making any. Some Features of the Fray. 1t was really painful to look on and see this inflammatory haired Bulgarian get upon the lines and attempt to coach. Reddy took a severe cold one night last summer up in Duluth by falling off the side- walk mnto Lake Superior and he lost his voice. Tt fell down in his chest somewhere and ho has never been ablo to rec over it. You probably noticed what a deep chest he has. It. was a lovely afternoon for a ball game, notwithstanding the bracing breoze from the north, and being ladies’ day. of coursea handsome crowd was on hand to see Omaha, like Vesuvius swallowed up Herculaneum and Pompeli, gulp down Columbus, Oho. And they. came protty nearly doing it too. The only thing that prevented was that the NG I what your Uncle.

Score: Rustlers were a littlo Shy at short, and Vickery. was too eleemosynary, that is ho CAm@ pretly near never giving 8Way every- lhill{; ne had, © Nino great biy fat bases on balls, and an- other by a smash with the ball, was the ex- teut of bis prodigal gener osity. If Sir Thomas had only been close ana covatous, and cool and calculating and mer- cenary, liko Lis compeer on the other sido, s Schmelz would have been jingling nine £00s6 ezus in his pockets, instead of bulging them out with laurel leaves. Omaba's Only Runs, In the second the Rustlors started in to do the Vesuvios act. Unecle David rapped out a safo ono down betweon socond and first and Walsh allowed Louis Napoleon’s duplicate to get through his legs. Schmelz pulled his razbitans and glared with caunibalistic eyes at the noisy grand stand Rutherford B. made a brave sacritico from piteh to first and the two runners hunched up a notch. Then Fitzsimmons faced Lucien. 1 call him Fitzsimmons bocause he nit so hard. It wa# & rattling three-cushion jab way out over Lally Lily’s head and Uncle Dave and the il- lustrious Frenchman ran home. “Hey! hey! hey That -was the music that welled up from grand stand and bleacher, and Fitz stood up on third and wushed out his cuest like a knight of old. Vickery was switchod off at first, Walsh making a brilhant pickup and grand throw, buy Shy hit safe and itz scored. ‘Then the Rustlers quit and for good, lack- aday. Gilks struck out, Vickery's Wonderful Throw. In their half of the fifth the Bucks mado their first run, and that, too, after two mon had struck out in quick succession, Merritt avd Stovens, Sheibeck made an error big enough to walk ou its hands—Walsh’s easy drive going through bim. Vick, to vary the form of his froe distribution, plugged the Bulgarian in the rins with tho ball, then in concert he and Walsh stolo g baso. Vick was plainly perturbed, and ho could be seen lecturing himself. He kept nis visual organs unveiled, how- ever, and by as pretty a trick as was ever seen he caught Walsh napping at third. Both runners were leading off, and Viek pro- tended 1o 0 laying for Reddy, but instead hohad it in for' Josie all the sume, o turned and made a savago bluff at throwing down to second, but kept right on turning, and cut toose to Collopy. Joo had taken the bait and started in home and was fairly oaught, that is he might have beeu—sud ‘woras these are, Iustead of throwing the bail into Collopy’s outstretehed palws, be just missed an Eog- lish sparrow perched on tho eaves of tho grandstand. Walsh came home and Redner took his plavo on third, Tue Count got his base on balls, but Shol- beck threw Lally out aod the scors blew aver. Again in the sixth Omaba ought to have scored, but stie aldn't. Rowe led off with & baso ou bail b forced at secoud by Camp, Hayes bit safe, sendiog Cawp to third, Tuen Hayes stole second, but Fitz fouled out. Vickery bt a 'M'w ury to Abbey, who got under it after o Aful run, and’ wrapped it in bis boypy bhands. """ Guve the Game Away. ' Thé‘Buckeyes then mude their second. Vickery gavo, McClellan aud Brackenridge theig base on balls, and bis_error fillod the bases. Merritt went out to Sheibeck, but on Steven's sacrifice McClellan got in. ' Walsh fouled out to Collopy. Aftor this 1t was nip aud tuck up to the ninth. @ Rustiers were quickly disposed of, ‘Then & fow cases of wild, wierd cattlos were opened. Vick gave Waish his base as a seud off. Hayes got tangled up with Iteddy’s third strike, and Bheibeck let the Count’s vicious rap oscape him, and Joe rau over the piatier with the tielag run. Lally forced the Count out 34, socond. but McClellan bt safe, and Raddy’s run won the gawe.

Pa, April The most sonsational fire in this city for years broke out tonight on the siage of the Grand Cen- tral theater, and- boforo it was gotten under control nearly 81,000,000 worth of property had becn destroyod, includiug the massive oight-story annex building ocoupiod by the Times. There wasa panic in tho theater and nearly fifty persons, mostly occupants of tho galleries, were burt, none, however, seriously. The Central thoeatar 1s located on Walnut street, between Lighth and Ninth, in the most thickly settled portion of the city,being surrounded by hotels, restaurants, boarding houses, newspaper offices and business houses. Tmmediately in the rear of the thea- ter was the Times building, which faced on Sansom street. Tho theater was usually do- votad to varioty porformancos, but this weck a spectacuiar production, “The Devil's Aue- tlon,” was on the stage, Burst Out in Flames, Just before 8 o'clock, while the stage hands wero lowering from the Hies a portion of tho setting for the first scene, 1t becamo entan- wled in the border hights. In an instant the flimsy caavas was a mass of flames. Tongucs of fire shot up to tho roof and blazing sceacry fell to tho stage and in a short spaco of timo the greater portion of the theater was o mass of fire. ‘The production requires a large number of femalo ballet dancers. These stood in tho wings and aloug the stago in scanty attire, waiting for tho performance to begin. They were thrown into a panic and rushed about, scarcely knowing which way to turn to avoid the quicly spreading flames, ~ All woro, it is believed, gotton safely out, although there is a roport that three ballot girls are missing. During tho panic behind the scenes, & scenc of evea more intense excitemeni was being onacted beforo tho footlights, —Fortu- nately the house was only partially filled. The auaience had just settled down in their seats awaiting the beginning of tho porform- ance when they wore startled by the flash that came when the scenery caught. The next minute u bright white fisme shot through the curtain and the audience vealized that they were face to face with that most awful of ‘situations, a theater fire. Kverybody started for the exits. ‘I'he woaker ones were borne down and crushed under foot. Frenzied With Ono individual, maddened and brutalized by excitement, ‘drew a nocket kuife, and with it cut his' wgy through the mass of people. Halfa dozen or more people wero found at the hogpital who had been victims of Lis frenzy. None of their wounds, bow- ever, were of a more thaa painfal character. ‘This man was ofi¢ & the first to reach tho sidewall. ] Men and boys fellon tho stairways leading from the galleries and were bruised and scratched under the heels of those following them. In all fitty-two persons wero cared for at the two hospitals near tho theater. Everybody was: outside the burning struc- ture within two fitutes from the timo the fire started. 2 ‘I'he wildest exoftament prevailed on tho streets. Ballet uirls in gauze and tights rushed bareheadéa avound, almost all of them in o hysterical condition. The fire sproad iwith marvelous rapidity and by the time thetive apparatus - reachod the scens the fianws, looming nway nbove the top of the theuter was the Times annox building, occupidd ton . the seventh floor by the editorial force/aud-on the eighth by the composltig Yand ~ stéreotyping - forces. An Fear, alarm was promptly given and all' the occu- pants of the building got out in safety. The tirst, second, thirdand fourth floors were oc- cupted by Dekosenko & MHetherinston, art metal workers. Their plant was ona of the most valuable of 1ts kind in the country. Crash of Falling Walls, The wind was blowing in a direction to carrry vhe flames to the newspaper bunding and in & few minutes the latter structure was on fire. By 5:530 the entire interior had been gutted. At that hour tho west wall and & portion of the east wall fell, the former crushing in a large portion of the one-story power house of tho Philadelpbia Traction company, which coutained the two immense eungines which propellad the company’s streot cars over tho lowor section of the city. Tho east wall crushea the fourslory building occupied by Hamilton & Diesinger, manufacturers of jewelry, and portions of several buildings below on Iignth street, The front wall filled Sansom streot with bricks and stones and damaged buildings op- posite. In the cellar wero the new presses of the 'Times, the pride of the owner, Mec- Luughlin. They are ruined beyond cepair. Adjoining the burning theater on the west was the Poulson house. The roof was burned and the building soakea with water, Above the Grand Contral, at Ninth and Walout streets, stands the historic old Wal- nut Street theater. Siduey Rosenfold’s naw play, “‘Imagination,” is being produced this week and the louse was well crowded There was grest danger that this house would catch fire. The performance was, therefore, stopped and the audieuce quistly dismissed. Colonel A, K. McClure, editor of the Times, lost his valuable political library, which he has been collecting during the past fifty years and which can never be replaced. List of the Serlously Injured, Thoso most seriously injured who aro boing cared for at tho Pennsylvania hospital are : Crarexce RipLEY, Very badly burned on hands and fuce, Roukrr JAUNT, soverely burned about tho face.

FOREIGN NEWS SERVICE, itor John Rosleky Points Oat Its Shortcomings. Oxiana, April 24,—To the Iditor of Tie Bee: To a constant ana tuivking reader it must be evident that tho sources of in- formation of the Associated press and oven of special correspondents are not always re linvle, and that thero ave constant offorts being made to create a prejudice against cor tain people. Just note one lato instance: A couple of months ago the cables informed us of the terrible sufforing of the peoplo of Russia and that the government virtually does nothing to alleviate it, and even pre- vents individuals (like Yolstol) from minis- tering to the wants of the sufferors. But behold now tnis same cable brings us the in- formation that tho same ltussiau government, which it so porsisteatiy maligned, has spent for the velief of its subjects the enormous sum of 500,000,000 rubles, about $150,000,000. Has ever any govertment equaled thatt Why ull this lying? The Associated bress gets all of its news about itussia through sources unfriendly to Russia, and is used to misrepresent all that is going on in that country in order to create a prejudico agninst it, Another instance: Three weaks ngo we read long nocounts 8vout great riots in the city of Prague, in Bohemia, which closed with an efforvto rob and sack the Jowish part of the town, in which attempt many wero wounded and scores arrested. Tho official iuvestigation of theso alleged riots showed that there was 1o riot at all, but a simplo political demonstration, during which two persons, and only Lwo, wero arrested for disturbance of peace by lound talk, and absolutely nobody was wounded, ncitner was there uny thought of sacking any part of the town, Now, when a year ago tho old citv/of Prague, ana all Bohemis, celobrated the centennial of the first_exposition on the con- tent of Burope, which took place at Prague in 1701, by u great centennial exposition, which compared favorabiy with the inte national exposition of Vieuna and Paris the cablo was as dumb as an oyster. And when this exposition closed aftor five months with 10,000 florins 1 the treasury, over and above all expenses, without any aid whatever from the state or government, u feat never equalled by any cxposition, the Associated Press cablo and éven your special still remawed as mute ns an oyster. Thero is no spoco for anything creditablo trom Boherain, but lies arc peddied willingly. Don’t you think, sir, that the Associated vress should chango tho sources of informa. tion on Kuropean subjects! Do you think it right that tho pross of the Unitod States should pay for untruthful and perverted in- formation! Does not tho American press desiro that its servaut, the Press association, gotonly relinble and truthtul information ¢ J. ROSICKY.
