THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SOCKED IT T0 THE SINNERS Dhristian Young Men Fairly Pound the Non- pareils Into the Gronnd. AND THEN THEY SHOUTED HALLELUJAH Everything Oame Thelr Way with an Ease that Was Disheartening to Thelr Karthly Minded Brothren—Other Sports of the Day. The Salvation Army and Shanahan's ‘farriers bumped up against ecach other yesterday afternoon at Sportsmen’s park with a sound that might bo likened to that made by a blowed-up bladder when sat upon by & fat man, 1t wasn't much of a game, and still thero was considerable to It, if you take into con- sideration the barnfull of clodhopper plays the Tarriers made. “Why, the Christians fairly pushed them oft tho earth, and at the close Cfpl.fl:a?lve‘l g resemblod a big piece of rive 3 " Miss Gussie Conner of Weeping Water did the convoluting for the ecclesiastical band, and say; maybe she didn’t ;{wh a great met ¥he solid Muldoons couldn't do a thing ‘with her.

And the Christians shoutod hallelujah, of course.

For the Tarriers, Josephus Walsh,with his fair young head. glenming aud scintillating 10 the golden sunshine like a huge ruby, sent n hewhiskerod linor straight into old Caligula's hands, and everybody gave Cal- igula a shout. The plaudits of the concourse, however, wére too much for theold Roman, and in harvesting the lightweight champion’s grounder ho stepped on one of his knees and the champion landed safe on first., St. Joseph Gatewood made faces at Gussio 1n'such an exasperating way that sho just wouldn't put ’em over, 80 thero now And 80 St. Joseph promenaded, but. no one cared for thiat, for Miss Conner curled them soclose around the necks of the Tarriers’ Dbattery that they were glad enough to get away with their lives. They both struck out. Then They “Hollered” Again. Again did those celestial jaws work in a grand diaphasan of joy. They wero just like 80 many raw oysters— those Tarriers from over the railroad tracks. Inorder to keep the excitement up to the proper pitch Caligula McKelvey sent one out through the dicotyledonous plants on Mickey Bradford’s farm as if it had been shot out of o toy pistol, and Miss Conner hocus-pocused a little one past first. But it didn't amount to anything after all, for Cleobulus Angel and Annie Lowrie both chopped holes in the air. ‘What the band played faced Jelly first in the second. He was uncoupled at first by & brilliant stop and throw by St. Joseph Gatewood. Titus Flavius then connected safely, but was forced at second by the pro- fessor’s adoliscent push to Captain Dave. The professor was as wrathful as Achilles at what he had done to Flavius, so he just buckled up his sandals and flew on down to second like a winged horse. A large, high pitch boosted him along ninety feet further, and when General Winfleld Scott pelted the ball so hard you could hear its intercostals grate against each other he convened on the plate. The general, too, burgled, second, but got mo.:further, for Captain Lysic caromed one into Dufy Flyun’s ket. 1t was o hand-painted .hoyse collar for the Tagrlers. + Fell on the Philistinos. , The third was just like so much circus jemonade for the workers in the vineyard. Lacey missed Caligula's third wild jab bya halfa mile, and that kind old gentleman jour- neyed clear round to second before he could be induced to stop. Miss Conner's ribbons got in her way and she tore thres gaping rents in the hazy atmosphere. Then Marcus Claudius Wilkens accepted a gift: Cleobulus Angel smashed out a couple of pillows, and that dearold heroine, Annie Lowrie, had her life safe by a miscue by Francisco di mini Jellen. Four wide ones let Flavius toney to first..and the professor inter- rupted the' droning of the chrysomel- edal out in the waving pampas that stretches away like 4 boundless plain to the southeast and four moro large, oleaginous runs were chalked for the boys who neither swear, eat tobacco or chase cigarettes, Like an arch-heritic, General Scott slammed his club through the ambient thrice in quick succession, without even raising o zephyr, and retired' to his mosquo like the guilty thing he was. For the Nonpareils—the Muldoons, I mean—Josephus {anuh. with a Chattanooga scowl upon his roseate brow, walked reso- lutely up to the pan and the first ball Miss Conner shook out of her apron he smacked it square on the kisser for a third of the entire trip, /This climax sort o' flustrated Gussie ana sho floated in another soft one, which the lightweight uppércut for a sack, scoring the boy from Tennessece.

Lacey trundled one down to Gussie, and the meek snd, lowly came back for somé more pie. And they got it. One slice. by Lysie was deadheaded to the first station, stole second, and came in on sacrifices by Caligula and the Weeping Water prima donna. Cleobulus Wilkins made the third out.

Hassett against William E. Hassett of this city, some most astounding charges are made. It is alloged, and the atlegations are supported by written evidence, that Hassett conspired with the wife of s wealthy farmer named Stone, now living near Nashua, Ia., to murder Stone, got & divorce from his own wife and then marry the widow of Stone, who, by the lotters at- tached, was more than willing to put her own husband out of the way that she might marry Hussett. Mrs. Hassett 1s well known in the better circles of Cincinnati, where she taught school for soveral years. Her maiden name was Hicks, and her widowed mother yet lives in Cincinnati. Hassett's.

I hope that this attempt to revive the prejudicos based on occupations of each of the sections will be abandoned by the gentlemen when they come to recollect the meaning of . what they say and that they will realize that the fires of disunion were stamped out by marching armies v this country and the embers were quenched by the blood of the.martyrs and the tears of widows.

She grows no grass between her stones; her devotion to the flag is glorious and such that makes our institution per- petual. [Prolonged appluuse and cries of “Vote.”] ¢ The excitement on the floor was so great that Speaker Crisp was compelled to call upon the ofticers of the house to pass through the aisles and lobbies and request the mem- bers to take their seats or to repair to the cloak room in order that public business might proceed. Mr. Cockran was followed to the cloak room, where the felicitations of his heavers continued to be showered upon him for some minutes, s Mr. Bland's Argumient. ’ Mr. Bland next took the floor. He sald if the gentleman from New York, Mr, Cockran, (whose financial theorics were evidently gained from a manipulation of the Stock exchange) would only go to the great country which he said raised agricultural products, which were shipped abroad in order to bring back the European gold neces- sary to sustaln the public credit, he would understand why the gentleman and himself were practically different in their views. It was true that it was to the product of the soil of this country that the financiersof this government looked to bring back the gold of Burope in order to maintain our pres- ent financial system. But the gentleman had failed to tell the house the dificulties under which the farmer labored in order to do this patriotic service. He had nov told the house that there was a corner of the gold of the world. As”long as the gold of the world was cornered by the legislation of the United States the gold men of the west and south could exact their own price for gold. Tho dogmatic utterances of the gen- tleman from New York were made in the face of history and in the face of truth. He (Mr. Bland) did not defend the Sherman aot; but if he could put in its Khoe a provis.. ion for the free colnage of silver, at a ratio 0f 16 to 1, he would vote for its repeal.

He s the clork's desk and had read a dispa; ferring to an articlein the Now York I Post as to the appli- cation of pressure in_favor of the repeal of the Sherman act—the pressure suggested being the threat to withhold credits from country merchants. He denounced the arti- clo, and quoted what Mr. Benton once said 1n congress on a somewhat, analogous propo- sition. Ho then declared that it was a mo- torious fact that the people of the south and west who had money on_deposit in New York banks could not have thoir checks paid. This was being done to_weaken the western banks and to have an effect on the house. Lnnt Bulwark of Silver. In reply to General Warmor's' question he said that the gentleman ‘could put the sta- tistics as he pleased, but it was_notorious that the money in the banks ot New York could not be drawn by southern or westorn banks, The silyer men‘in the house had offered soveral comptomises. If theso com- promises wero rejected theve would never be another compromisevftered. To maintain u gold standurd meant to demonetizo_silver and to lower the price of fabor.

Ho had not advocated the Sher- man law, He had voted against it, but it was Low the last bulwark of silver. It was now proposed to demonetize silver. Now ‘was the time to let the country see who were the friends of silver and bimetallism in this house. To strike down silver would mean a political revolution that would strike down both great polivieal “parties. For one, he was willing to join the people, oven though democracy would have to go to the wall.” [Applause. | Mr. MeMitliu of Tennessee, Mr. McMillin of Tennessee was the next speaker. He had listened, he. said, with much interest to the very able presentation of his side of the question by the distin- guished gentleman from Maine, but he could not agree with him that the offect of the repeal of the Shermar act would aid to bring back him (Mr. Reed) and those who went with him. That gentleman was not his (Mr. McMiilin's) kind of a democrat. [Laughter.] -There were three kinds of cur- rency in this ' country—gold, - silver and paper—and he would - keep those three kinds of currency. each of them equal to the other. And he would resist, as he would resist the pestilence, any effort to legislate the destruction of . cither of these kinds of currency. - He:could conceive of no greater disaster than.that which would drive from circulation the $500,000,000 of silver, Tt was a new doctrine 1o the demo- cratic party that any of the ‘thres kinds of currency was to be forced out of circulatio It was a new dotfrine’ ‘to the American people.

Mr. Wilson of Wesr Virginia closed the afternoon debate with'a speech in support of his measure. By wi¥ersal consent, he said, the so-called Shebmin act had failed to justify the expectations' of those who framed it. It had been expected to raise tho price of silver thréighout the world.*Thas had proven to be a false expectation. It had been expected an &%pansion of the currency and renewed prospérity would follow the en- actment of '.':lc tuw. Thischad not eome to pass.

No one could, doubt-the Sherman law was largely respansibje; fer:: the - panic that had suldenly-pvasspnend.the country. It had been argyed frow the fizst. speach. to tho! ding b\l that it would, while Stoppini the purchase ef silver, throw the country upon & gold' basis. Many would be surprised to find the country had been upon -a gold basis sino, 183 undor economic laws. We have been on a, gold standard since 1831 by economic laws; since 1873 we had been on a zold basis” by the ‘ex- press statute of congress. The trouble wis that as silverihad gone down the, greater stress and test was put upon the govern- ment. Gentlemen had said if we would stop now the purchase of silver nnder the Sher- man act we would demopgtize silver. The bill proposed here would not do this at all. The bill had come not to destroy, but to save. It had come not.to strike down' sil- ver, but to place iv at once and forever ou an impregnable basis with gold in the circula- tion of the country. [Applause.] Mr. McMillin asked if the gentleman pro- posed to follow this bill up with a proposi- tion for free coinage, e Desire of tho Administration, Mr. Wilson rsjuiufl?‘ he was satisfied tha it was the earnest wish' of the administ: tion not only to support the existing silver circulation, but to inérease the_issue of sil- ver currency to utmost extent it was safe to do so. and to keep sil- ver on a parity with gold. (Anplnuw,‘l Gentlemen complaiped that price . ha fallen. Why should they complain of this when the price of labor had gone upt Was not that the emancipation of man from con- stant pressure? If men eould get their time for their own cultivation; if they could sur- round themselves with ‘luxury, were gentle- men going to- declaim..againsi them? [Ap- plause]. Now for the benefits which would come from this bill. The first was the restoration of confidence among the 'people in their own money. Justas soon as we draw the line and say that for the present, at least, we ‘would buy no more silver, every dollar now in existence in this country would be as good as any other dollar, and men would not care in whav dollar—gola, silver or paper his debts would be paid.

MEN OF INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION Captaln Farrow Favored With Fame-—Yes. torday's Program at Ruser's Park— The Western Shooting Leagae Meoting Closes Today. During the week just past Omaha has en- tertained some of the most noted marksmen at tno eighth biennial tournament of tho Western Shooting league that any place has ever had the honor of welcoming upon such an ocoasion. Some of them have gainod honors ot only in this country but also in Europe, where they were won in competition with men of international reputation in this line. To the credit of this city it is to be said that. the wvisiting riflemen were well received here and thay in effect thoy have nothing but praises to offer for Omaba and the way the shooing affair, in all its details, was conducted by the manage- ment. Ihis expression is heartily con- curred in by all, even Mr. John Mennier of Milwaukee, who is, perhaps, the oldest ritleman present and who has been to more league tournamonts than any other member, Although Mr. Menuier is sometimes styled tho “‘great objector” on occasious like this, hoe proneunces the Omuha tournament ar- rangements perfect and says that none was ever held in. which the management of this one was excell . ‘T'he nssocistions. comnosing the Western Shooting league, which. was organized about twenty years ago, have for their members mostly (3ermans or German-Americans, who are very much interested in vhis kind of sporty and who, by their earnestness for it, have interestediquito a numberof Amaricans, 80 that now in most of the societies Englisn and German s spoken, and either languige can be eavployed ‘in the proceedings of a meeting. i i Of the moredistinizuished crack rifie shots now here Oaptain W. Milton Farrow, a very pleasant Yankee, is probably one of the most notuvle, having taken part in many rifle contests in this country and in Burope. He is a member of the Cincinnati association, although his residence s in Morgantown, W, First interesting himselfl 1n rifle pra in 1876, in the fall of 1877 he won a position on' the team that defeated 'the Canadian$ _““at 800, © 9900 and 1,000- vard distanges'in Canada. In the following year ho is,raported to have competed for and won the King medal at a national shoot held at Union Hill, N.Jv - A champion medal was awarded him gt Creedmoor, L. L. when the contest wag'undér the National Rifle associ- ation rales, wWhich compelled the usage of a three-pound trigger on a rifle weighing not morve than ten pounds. ~At Wimbiedon, B land, the Albert prize was aw d" him, which is 00 “During the succeeding vear, at the same place and under like conditions, ata_1,0005ard shoot, Captain Farron won the Wimbledon' cup, an clegant silver trophy, valued at £560. Speaking of this' Captamn Farron stated that this prize was personally presented to him by the Prince and Princess of Wales As a member of the American ritle team, which defeated the Irishmen at Dollys mount, Ireland, he assisted. materially in that team, ~making the hizhest on record. He next displs his skill to the Frenchmen at Caen in Nor- mandy, whero he carried off first prize, and at Verspilles at distances of 150, 200 and 300 metres, Captain Farron considers his Creed- more winuings his greatest accomplishment. The contest was open to all comers, and the massive silver urn which he won at that time was the gift of the National Rifle as- socirtion of England. At the distance of 1,009 yards he scored 145 points out of a possible 150. Auother Buil's Eyo Hitter. Anpther’ marksman who stands at the head of the list of bulls ey ‘hitters under National association rules, who participated in the Omaha contest, 1s Captain Matt Gindele of Cincinnati. He 1s said to have many finé scores to his credit and to have returnied with trophies from many a hard fought battle on targets. Among these is the solid gold medal which was offered by a company in a contest open to all associations in the United States on their own grounds with the only rostriction that the shoot should be at 200 vards ‘and under National association rules. In order to win it Mr. Gindele had to defeat more then 150 compet- itors. He has always attended the mectings of the Schuetzenbund since 1881 A third man from Cincinnati who is hard to beat is William Hazenzahl, who has crossed the ocean to enjoy his favorite sport in competition with European marksmen. At a distance of 325 yards and a rifle with a five-pound trigger. he fired 146 consecutive shots into the hull’s-eye, making 115 fags out of 200 shots™ St. Louis also furnished several men with reputations for handling the ritle when it comes 1o L;\r{ml shooving, One of them is C. K. Dunkerley, a very modest gentleman and the present holder of the costly hg&mr wedal described in the columns of ik Bikia fow days ago. Mr. Dunkerley,though a comparatively new,mem- ber of the St. Louis Rifie club, has demon- strated several times his ability to hit the center of 3 Wreot. Samuel G, Doruiah of St. Louis,who scored the 115 poits out of & possible 125 on the king tarwet at this last shoot and tomorrow will be - érowned king, is conzidered a cham- pion pistol ghot.: x He has always svom-all pistol matches that he ‘gver engaged in. It would hardly be oxpected of suchaman that he is tho wielder of & pencilybut such is tho fact, as his contributions to the Forest and Stream of New, York, under the name Nimrod, will show. .. Wilham Bauer is'another member of the St. Louis club who is an expert in marks- manship. He ‘rightfully. carried the king medal of his club one year ago, and in 1891 at the league shoot she made the highest individual soore in. his term. which com- peted at S4, Louis with eighteen teams, His scorent that time was 218 outof 225, L. Schweighoefer, also of St. Louis, is the one who untikioon today, when Mr, Dorman succecds biim, can claim the honor as king of the west@nbund. - e scored 214 points in the teameontest whieh closed day before yesterday, ‘and in which his team was the first winning one. . The 'Milwaukoe club, in the persons of John'Menaier, Max ‘Rosenthal and others, was. ably represented here, as the many odals ~which these men have - won will - attest. 3. Mennior carried off first- cluss prizes at bundes contests in 1866, 1869, 1870 und 1870, The medals which he has earned would fill a peck measure. There were many ollier visiting rifiemen with records to bo envied by the "best shots, but space forbids s more extended mentio; YESTERDAY'S PROGRAM, The Tournamens Will Come to s Formal Close Today. Omaha's reputation for baving good marksmen was saved when the result of the shoot on the union target was announced yesterday afternoon. F. R.

D, Gould. The 8:00 class pace was a good betti race and showed the game racing qualiti of Seal, a bay gelding by Idolater. Vassar won the first heat in holidi style, and it was generalty conceded he had too much spead for his field, but Seal in tho next heat proved the truth of the old adago that a tield is always good in & pacing race by making o finish from the quarter in 31 seconds and winning by a length, In the tnird and con- cluding heat Seal repeated his tactics of the secoud heat and let everything go by him. At the halt he set sail again and beat Vassar 4 good three lengths In 2:141{, coming tho last half in 1:03}4.

Y Cleveland’s Physical Condition, Dr. Marshall Cushing, who s known overy: whore as Postmaster General Wanamaker's private secretary in today’s Washington Capitol, has this to say of President Clove- land's health : “Mr. Clovoland has long had a promonition that ho should not live his term out. It is one of thoso groundless, unreasonable pre- monitions that sometimes takes possession of a man, he knows not how, but the umpres- sion which it has made upon the mind of the prosident aeepencd by his deprossed nervous condition. Ona would think, aftor looking ab the hidcous naked picture nf Mr. Clove- land's logs that was printea some timo ago, that ho suffered from dropsy. Some who have looked at his faco have thought his troublo related ta the kidueys. “Others have imagined that becausa tho president is stout and has been given all his life to u generous mode of living, and, more- over, because he is troubled with the rhoumatism that he would yet be an easy prey of apoplexy. 1t is all wrong, most likely. The trouble is nervous prosiration nd the promonition. Mr, 1 has ely written letters to a friend here and almost every day, in his own hand, and he has wondered when he should have to come back here, and whether he could not stay a day or.two, and thon return to his absolute T Other evidonce that the president 1s troubled about himself is that he h i friends that it was not pleasant to t leavine all his causes 10 a man, who w metrically opposed to most of them.
