THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNES e ——— e = LILLIAN RUSSELL WAS FIRED Bhe Was Entirely Too Attractive for the Washington Park Olub House HER ESCORT TOLD TO KEEP HER AWAY Wives of Memhers Ohjocted to Fer Pres- eneo and 8o She Was Relogated to the Stand od U Geand Closely 1 Story Ceaco, July 35, ——[Special Telogram to Twe Bee |- Lillian Russell thinks she is the victim of soveral jealous Chicafo women, although she sang the lively melodies of “La Cigale" tonight with the firo and dash ©of a prima donna at peace with all her sox The affair 1s somewhat old, and occurred early in the Washington park race season. The story was for the time successfully sup- pressed, but yesterday there was a sudden and forcible explosion, The fair singer, as a result, was besiegol during her perform- ance this evening with telegrams and in- quiries. This is the way it all happened: During the first few days of the summer races at Washington ark, Miss Russell was a conspicuous figure every afternoon on the veranda and in the reception and diniv rooms of the club house. She naturally attracted much attention, and especially from certain male members of the ciub, it is sald. This aroused the resentment of the wives of somo of the members, the story ®goes, because the men were ignoring them 10 talk with the fascinating opera singer. Taey Merely Protested. Thero was a protest of some kind or other, and Miss Russell no longer visits the club house, but views the races from the grand stand, It scems that Tom Williams, a member of the club, was Miss Russell's escort, and according to the best information that can bo obtained, the president gavo him to understand that for the best interosts of all concerned he shouldn't take the prima donna nearer to the club house than the grana stand. The hint was com- plied with. Miss Russell then became {11, and all last week the Columbia theater, where she is filling a long World’s fair engagement, was dark. Itisintimated that the club house affair had something to do with her illness; that her indignation was aroused to such an tent that she thought seriously for a time of leaving the city. Miss Russell declined to say anything about the affair tonight, but Mr. Davis snoke for her. Manager Davis Tolls of ft. E “We know that the story has leaked out,” said he, “and it is truc, but thero is ab- solutely no foundation for the report that Miss Russell's illness last week had any- thing to do with the club house affair. That occurred moro than three w after Derby day. The courtesies of the club house had been extended to her by one of its most prominent members of theassociation. Sho is an attractive, viva- clous western girl, consequently ner pres- ence amongz the members called forth moro attention from the men than they aro in the habitof showing any one. As soon as [ heard what had boen done. I went to the man who issucd the order and asked him for an explanation as to what it meant. He told me the wives of the members were Jealous of the attontions Miss Russell was receiving. He was compelled to take the actio ne did to preserve harmony in the club, Tcan say also that Miss Russell does not care anything aboutit. _Her illness Ia week was not feigned. She had a sover ense of tonsilitis, and for four days suffered from a high fever. Her temperaturo ranged at 104 and the attending doctor said she was throatened with intermittent fever.” 1e's n Hustler Himself, Nearly ‘evory day Miss Russell was os- corted to the races by Mr. Williams, who is equally well known in New York, Chi- cago and San Francisco. Mr. Williams, who “is tho owner of the = Undine stablo, was o devoted cavalier. He isan active young man. Out in n Francisco ho is aceustomed 1o run things to suit himself. Ho domonstrated the neces- sity of young blood -in the Pacific Coast Blood Horse association by substituting him- self as president for the veteran Colonel H. I Thoruton. Last winter Porter Ashe, an- other of the “bloods™ of the Gotden City dertook to contest with him about Ger- aldine, but Williams made things lively for him. Will Have a Now Muanager. Another important announcement is mado respecting Miss Russoll to the effect that the close of her present Chicago engagement, she will end her contract with T, Henry French, her present manager. Mr. Davis ic last nizht that the matter had been settled within the last few days. Hoe also id that there was a project started with which Miss Russell was heartily in sym- pathy to organize n grand Chicago opera company, supported by Chicago capital, for the burpose of demonstrating to the world the supremacy of Chicago sigors over any other English- speaking opera singers on the stage. ‘There was no ill fecling between her and Mr. French. The terms of the separation wero satisfactory to both_parties.

Ho spoke in substance as foilow. *“Ihis is a question of the greatest import- ance. Bvery man must make up his mind on the right side, for in the words of Mr. Hill, Atlanta's great orator, ‘Who saves his country saves himself, but ho who lots his country perish dies himself.’ This question annot be sottled by boards of tra te and chibers of commerce. It is only to be settled by the common people, who have as much oy stuke and as great o voice as any others A Chicago paper quotes a Berlin banker as saying that Americans are about to repeal tho Sherman law and kill it so dead that will nover be rovived. The best way to get a sinzle vold standard Is by repealing the Sterman luw. This single standard means tho uso of different forms of currency and wheu one wishes gold to obtain it by paying the prico demanded, “Tho yalue of the gold dollar canuot be fixed. ~ As compared with other commodi. ties, it depeuds on the number of dollars in existence—tho fewer dollars the greater value, About five-sevonths of all gold coin is owned by four nations—United States, France, Germany and Fugland— and you these four nations have the most hard times, England the worst of all, that couutry once being obliged 0 borrow $15,000,000 from Fruuce Lo tide oyer u single sailure. When India susponded silver comige, certain metropolitan papers aaid the Sherman law was to bo repealod, and great was tho re wlng in rtain quartors. Thore was some of it here Tudia must get her gold from the four nations that have it and as there is not enough gold to supply all it will cause the appreciation of the gold dollar. Is u fule that Works Hoth Ways, “Tioth endas of & tetter board cannot be up at once, o silver and other commodities must &0 down as gold rises, and vico versa. Thero is a billion and a balf of woney in this country, and if b rises the property mnst fall and the loss in proverty ie forty times the rise in mouey. A man can't get rich by taking #0 out of one pocket for every dellar he puts iu hisother pocket. This gain e et two differont classe: gettiug richer and the poor poore; promises a sum of money he must get 1t by vme of Llree Lhings - property, labor uow 'ks ugo, shortly | in existonco or labor to come. 1f the of the money now goes up it will take moro of his money to _pay the debt You can't make a man pay 8 for 1 as there are lnws passed by logislaturo which fix th interest at a certain per cent. If & singlo standard is adonted and_the effect is what it naturally and logleally should be, it would be impossible for the northwest to pay its debts by labor valuo “The speaker considered this the least evil, | and above board tof pold is $130,000,000, in the arts, One if 1t were only open “The annual prody two-thirds of which is use third of this comes from the silyer mines and if these wore closed it would leave only nough for the arts, This does not provide the loss of coius aud abrasions This shows the limit in the supply An increase of 2 per cent annually in wold means u like fall in wheat and at the end of 100 years it would be selling for 10 ents & bushel, supvosing it to sell for $2 per bushel at the beginning A distinguished man s wheat is now so low that we may it to go to England and gold to come here. Farmers should then stop i and save the country by selling wheat for export at a cheaper rate than they can raise it. That is the logical de- duction from his statement. There is no way of obtaining gold from abroad except by lowering pricos. 1t's a bid of nations to obtain gold and the one giving the most wheat gets the gold. “The only thing to be expocted from a sin- glo standard is to raise gold, lower wheat 4 increase debts. Ireland's condition would then be considered as biessed, when compared with what ours would be If metal money is desired the only stand- ard that can be used is the bimetallic stand- ard. Oue or two nations chauging from the silver to the gold would not make much erence, but if all should change it would cause the greate 1crisis. 1t matterod not whether thirty yearsago s certain na- tion' used one or the other, or both metals a standard. It is more important now than it was beforo or may over be again. We are bound to use silver alone, or both metals to- gether, i we want to preserve this country. Too Many Walt for England. 1 do not want to abandon both, but the man who declares for a single standard isan enemy of the country unloess he can show up a proper supply. Some people talk of an in- ternational agreement. 1 would like 1t, and betieve it would be a good thing if all would use a single basis, but some nations will not act unless England acts at the same time, and there are powerful people in England who will not allow such a law to bo passed. When in the freo United States the wishes of the people are prevented from being carried out there can be no hope o bringing England to our sido. *9f you say we can’t act without England, why notice: England went to gold without consulting the United States, as also did Germany, France, Italy and Austria all sus- pend silver without consulting the opinion of the United States, and 1 believe we ought to be able to legislate for ourselves without asking foreigners. Shall we confess that as & nation we cannot protect our people with- out the help of Europeans, Let us teach them that a hardy people can legislate for th emselves. *“I'he worst we could do would be to have a double standard, with only silver, and when this condition oecurred before, Thomas Jefferson never complained because the gold went to England. 1f all the money went to England they would have more to pay us for our cattle and wheat. The worst we could do is better than foreigners can do for us “Some people the government can't islato value into anything. That is false. ‘Those sume people have often wawmed mouey by such legislation. Once the District of Columbia had some bonds, and a law was passed for the United Statos to buy the bonds. Some who made money thereby had purposely bought, and yet they say tne gov- ernment” cannot ' legislate valuo into an article, “If the government passed a law for the purchase of 5,000 large he it would raise the value of the other horses which were to take the places vacated by the large ones. That is legislating value.” You nover hear about the cost of mining gold, but you do hear people cry of the cost of mining silver. Well, if the money could be reckoned that has been invested in every vein that has been started, in all the nonpaying miucs, it will be found that a silver doliar has cost 100 cents. They would rather cotton people should make money than that a miner get a cent more than the value of the metal. ““Tho value of the metal lies in its arcity. It the government offered $2 a bushel for wheat they couldn’t buy all that would be raised, but if it offered 310 an ounce for silver it wouldn't increase the supply. The prices are regulated by the law of suv- ply and demand. The advocates of silver are n the agricultural west. The miner is not selfish, neither is the farmer when ho demands two standards and the prices to bo gained thereby. T'he supply of silver is not too great, nor could it be. The silver in works of art and in foreign coins cannot be used, as they have 100 great a valuo. That leaves ouly buliion as a source of supply, aud we would long for more than wo could get, as all the silver pro- curable would be necessary to keep pace with the increase in circulation. “1t is not fair to the farmers to take from the value of products and then give them another bad turn by lessening the value of money. If the currency were w decr one-tenth it would increase the $1,000,000.000. T think it is best to leave the ratio s it 13, or puv both ou an even footing and let them regulato themselves, and it is time enough to ' change the ratio when we find out what the rates orght to be. Considering the Shermun Law. “But now about the Sherman law, which is accused of being tho cause of ali tho wrouble. ‘Thero has been no law introduced to change the rato. People do not in- vestigate for themselves, but take what the bankers tell them without Qques von. ~ These samo bankers have pro- sented nine-tenths of the certificates for payment. ‘They wanted the gold to o port. The Sherman law does not draw gold from the treasury. The bimetallists are willing o have coin certificates re- deemable in silver. Neither do the miners present their silver for payment in gold, nor do they ask 1t to be redecwed in that way, The Sherman law puts money into the hands of the people, and this is not wanted by peo- ple with an abundance of money, as it lossens demand forit and cuts down theirinterest, omo people demanded to know why the banks deposit; reserve fund cannot be used. ‘They consider 0 per cent not enough reserve for the governmeut, but are willing to draw on the 15 per cent fund roserved by bunks, “1 " believe what money we are to have should be issued by the government. The Sherman law prevonts the demands heard to put silver sull lower by withdraw- ing government aid. Further, I wish to state that the Sherman law is not the child of the bimetallists, but of our enemios, but we now are willing to stay by it until we are able W regain our own offspring which the stole from us ye g0, and whilo I cannot speak for all 1 can'say that thero will be four on the floors of congress who will not be for the repeal of the law.” The meeting ended with an invitauon for all to join the Bimetallic league which is to be formed in this city. The funds derived therefrom are to be devoted to publishing and distributing pamphlets in the interosts of bimetallism. e Balloon, Courtland beach tonight. fhohtiatSutica iy SHE WAS OUL OF OKDER, South Carollna Woman Objects to the Ap. pointment of Western Wom: Cuicago, July 25.—(Special Tolegram to & BEE.]—At the meetiag of the board o f lady managers today Mrs. Moredith nom- inated Mrs. A, M.

Rock Island Ros Kicks Over on Bridge Toll. The Elkhorn Valley road, in conformity with the agreement roached last week in gard to an equalization of the briage arbi- trary between Council Bluffs and Omaha, has issued its new, tariff of brideo tolls of- fective August 1 from Council Blufis to all ints on tho Fremont, Blkhorn & Missouri Vailey and Sfoux City and Pacific tines. The new tarif enumerates a large number of articles taking a toll of from 2 to fe per hundred aud also attaches the arbitrary of e to all other os of merchandise not included in the When the decision of the freight men was reached last week that the arbitrary was to be equalized,there was great rejoiciog among Omaha jobbers and shippers that their con stant objections, to tho worst case of dis crimination that over existed in this section, had proven successful. - All the roads, it was understood, had agreed to equalizo the toll but it now transpires that the Rock Island proposes to kick over the traces and main- n the arbitrary against Omaha without a corresponding arbitrary from Council Bluffs “This action of the Rock Island in resisting ular demand has been the talk job- ircles yestorday morning, and so lToud have been the proiests that concerted action against the road may bo expected, as eighty of the principal wholesale houses have agreed to boycot the line should it atl to meet out that of justice which is Omaha's by These jobbers and heavy shippers have agreed to route all thoir shipments over other roads unless the Rock Island at once decides to abido by its agrooment made last week. The Commoercial club, representing the jobbers, telegraphed President Russell Sage this ‘morning that the Rock Island would get no moro business out of Omaha until the bridge arbitrary was adjusted. Repudiates the Charge. Tn an interview with H. A. Snyder, gon eral agent of the Rock Island routs, he stated that there was no ground whatever for the charge mado in the avove articlo that his company would discriminate against the Omaha jobbers in the adjustment of the bridge tolis on lowa and Nebraska business. Mr. Suyder said : “Teunnot undorstand why pression got abroad uniess i attempt to create a disturban pleasant relations that Ve vailed between the Rock the business men of statement thut we proposed any- thing that w. the semblanco of discrimination against Omaha in the matter of the bridge toll is not warranted by the facts. Our position has been, and ne s, that Omaha and Council BluTs are iden- tical in this matter, and we will not discrin- inate between them. If we make a higher rate from Council Bluffs into Nobraska we will also charge a higher rate from Omaha into Towa: if wo makea lower rate from Omaha into Towa we will do the sime from Council Bluffs into Nebraska. In other words, if wo add the bridge toll on ship- ments from Omaba into_Towa we will also add the bridge toll on shipments from Coun- cil Bluffs into Nebraska. On_ihe other hand, if we apply the Couneil Bluffs vates from Omaha into Towa we will apply the Omaha rates from Couneil Bluffs into Ne- braska. We bolieve the solution of the ques- tion is to make both points identical,thereby preventiug any diserimination. “T'his question ed the careful and favorable consideration of our people, and it is my understanding that the new tariff equalizing the bridge toll on shipments from Omaha into lowa and from Council Bluffs into Nebras all take effect at tho same time by the different roads. “We have taken and maintained this posi- tion from the first, and did so because wo folt that it was a just and proper thing to do. 1 take no stoci in_the statement that the jobbers have agreed to divert any trafiic from our road because it is assuming that they can be led to take important action w o matter materially affecting their in- terests on_the basis of irresponsible or un- truthful statements, and T have too high an opinion of their business judgment and ability to believe that they could bo led into doing an_injustice to our rond without any warrant whatever, ““I hope that I have made myself perfc clear und that our position has been itly stated so 4s Lo remove any mi standing regarding it.” the Traces such an im- a deliberato » in the very always pre- Island rond and Omaha. The LINCOLN JOBBERS IN ARMS. Organized a Committee to Carry on n Fight for ¥ o Rates. Laxcony, July [Special Telegram to Tue Bek.|—There is no mistaking the tem- per of the wholesale merchants and manu- facturers of Lincoln over the latest phase of the railroad situation. They mean to make a fight, and a bitter fight at that, if the sen- timents expressed at the meeting held in this city this evening are any indicgtion of their purpose. The meeting was attended by nearly ono hundred, most of the prominent wholesalers and manufacturers being present. N. S, Harwood, president of the First Nutional bank, was mado chairman of the meeting, while (. G. Dawes, a young attorney who has already achieved local celebrity by his formor fights against the railroad companics, officiated as secretery. I M. Raymond, the recognized head of the entive wholesalo trade of the eity, took the floor to explain tho purposes of the mecting. He said that the news was heard here last Saturday that the railroads wero about to chauge the favorable rates which Lincoln had enjoyea for the past seven or eight years; that the rates fixed by the Newberry bill were to go into effect and that they were to apply to Lancoln as well as to every other town in the state. How it Will Oporate. Mr. Raymond made many quotations showing how the would 1njure the bus- iness of Lincoln. Lumber, he said, would cost &2 per 1,000 feet more than at present, while %0 cents would he added 1o the cost of every ton of coal. The new rates, he said, discriminated ngainst overy wholesaler and manufacturer in the city. If they are maintained for six months, a yearor eighteen months they will abso. lutely stop the wheels of commerce in Lin- colu, drive every manufacturer away, de- populate the city, throw men out of employ- ment, lessen banking capital and paralyzo the city. Mr. Ravmond's remarks were roceived with evident approbation by the assemblago, . A. Brown, one of Lancoln's ‘wholesile lumber dealers, said that under the new rates lumber could be shipped t5 Faivmont cheaper than it could to Lincoln After moro discussion it was decided to appoint a general committeo to take charge of the fight Lincoln proposes to make to hold her prestige as a commercial town, Tho committeo consisted of fourteen membors, as follows: L M. Raymond, M. J. Waugh, R. | H. Oakley, A. 1. Lewing, I W. Brown, J C. Harppam, J. H. Harley, N.S. Harwood, M. D, Wels, H. D. Hathaway, C. 1. Jones, Fred Herman and ¥, L. Harris.
