In yesterday's game, How games, its own low anyway, the Lincoln team was only In it by sulfrance. Outbatted three to one, out- fielded and outplayed in every particular and detail, it seems strange that it could take a couple of games in the casy style that marked their victories at the capital. Still, there are a great many funny things connected with this great national sport, and it is not the best team that wins always by a long shot. If that was the case Lin- coln might as well put her quota of cham- plonship games on a silver salver and pre- sent them to Papa Rourke tomorrow before leaving the city, because if the best team Is to win, Omaha has a lead pipe on all future contests to be played by the two agsrega- tions.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okl, April 29.—Edi- tors Burke and Brown, imprisoned for al- leged contempt of court, were released yes- terday by Probate Judge Steward on a writ of habeas corpus. His decision was that no evidence had been adduced on their hearing to show that the publication made was not true and accurate and they were afforded no opportunity to submit festimony in the case, but had been found guilty and sen- tenced on an cv-parte showing. Judge Scott, who was n Perry, was notified, and tele- graphea orders to the sheriff to recommit the editors. On the advice of attorneys the sheriff decided to disregard the orders. The citizens deemed it advisable to secrete Messrs. Brown and Burke for the present, as it was thought that if Scott orders them incarcerated on his return a rlot would cer- tainly follow. Judge Scott, fearing personal violence, is constantly protected by a body- guard. Former Lincoln Woman After a Divorce. SIOUX FALLS, S. D, April 28.—Mary B.

As a matter of fact, August and September of 1803 were not equal in clearness to the same dates of 1892, November of each year was equal December of 1803 was better than ble as late 1892, Motions of a few as January 10, 1894, The only point I gained from his visit, and even that over a month after the pub- lication of his letter, was that the star Arcturus had been named the planet Saturn. This is how It occurred: I had been de- seribing to W. W. Haskell of the Ord Quiz the motions of what I then supposed was a were Vi planet and gave its location. e looked into’ the Scientific American and 1t must be Saturn. Both at that date would bo about west northwest. The fact of the being about forty degrees apart did not oe- cur to either of us, 1t B. J. Couch possesses as much knowledge as he would have your readers believe, lie knew when I pointed out the position occupied by Jupiter, Mars and Saturn that the latter was Arcturus. His statement that I was going to give him some lessons in astronomy with my simple instruments is false. I just pointed them out and casually remarked what 1 used them for. At that time I had not been in his company ten minutes and supposed he was an intellectual giant. I soon found he s superficial, entirely void of depth. cept giving the name of one star, to all questions he replied, “I don't know,” or “I never thought of it."” The possessor of for knowledge woul after one hour's conversation that tme to go to bed if there had been any visible hope of acquiring knowledge. Why hie ralses the question of nationality or edu- cational merit is best known to himself. It was foreign to the question. T will only ,if he will permit, that a truc measure an unquenchable thirst 1 not have s SUgE of a nation's intelligence is its per capita earnings and not its educational quaiifica- tion. The former is the dividend, the latter the expenditure. We have only to compare with England to ascertain our true position. As an Englishman I feel proud of the skill of my countrymen in peacefully dis- arming a would-be rival, but as an Ameri- can T object to being one of their vietims, It was an Englishman that devised the method for the purchase of silver with United States treasury notes and gave our people a curremcy without cost; it was an American born that broke the neck of the measure by limiting the amount to be pur- chased and adding the exception clause. It was an Englishman who in December, 1889, informed both J. G. Blaine and Presi- Qent Harrison that if silver was not re- stored republicans would be hurled ~from power, and the historian would falsify hi:- tory by stating that the people of the United States were in favor of frec trade. 1t was an Englishman who appealed to President Harrison again in November, 1890, suggesting that he recommend in his me: sage the removal of the purchase limit and cxception clause from the silver bill of the previous July, and that if it was not done the measure would fail. As soon as President Harrison fssued the invitations to foreign governments to enter the monetary conference, it was an English- man who forwarded him the information; the act Itself was the strongest possible evidence the silver question was not under- stood. |Additional ‘Information was for- warded that ought to make such giant in- tellects as E. J. Couch ashamed to hoist the flag of education every time the wind blows. People become tired of seeing it. If it was only food, many who are now hungry would be able to satisfy their hun- ger. If it was cash, the hand of the sheriff could be stayed. But the question at Issue Is, does the scientific world possess a clear comprehen- sion of nature? I answer, “No!" With the exception of our earth's diurnal motion the Copornican system is false. There (s no star that does not rotate within twenty seconds. Nature has been studied without sclen- tific aid. A strip of wood and two nails on the end of my cornerib have served for a telescope; a square and a_compass, aided by a fertile brain, have devised methods for cclestial measurements without resort- ing to the use of logarithms, thus insuring greater accuracy than is possible by their use. I had not time to use them, hence the necessity of more simple methods. The similarit®, between stars 'and the animal kingdom s almost perfect. Having gained a clear comprehension of nature by March 5, 1894, I soon afterwards borrowed two works on astronomy, one by Simon Newcomb, L.L. D., and Eiward T. Holden, M. A., the other by Henry White Warren, d the former in s refreshing to re particular, and note the concientious labor bestowed upon the subject. The authors do not even intimate the fact, but the evidence in the work does, that through the pains- taking efforts of the scientific world the growth of our earth is noted with a degree of accuracy that is astonishing. It is owing to deficlent eyesight, and not for want of skill, that nature has been able to deceive them so long. Why such extraordinary cyesight has heen given to one who, prior to March 5, 1894, never studied astronmical works, is beyond my comprehension, From the Newcomb work I found all dis- tances were based upon that of the sun. The method by which the sun's distance is obtained I found in the work by Henry White Warren, on page If the moon and sun were respectively visible at the angles glven, the second base was short, or our earth's motion’ quicker than the normal Ly 1 27-150 seconds. In either case no base for accurate measurements could be ob- tained by that method. The only correct method {s one-half of the actual time the upper half of the sun's disk s above the fluid horizon, then divide by two. Five hours, fifty-nina minutes, one second, is the unit of time, Twelve and one-half times the semi-dia- meter of our earth is the unit of distance, or 50,000 miles. Subtract the unit of time from the actual time for each plus second, add 14,456% miles to the unit of distance, from the total subtract the distance from the center of our earth’s axes to its surface, and the remalnder is the distance from our earth to the sun The distance of the moon is obtained in tho same way after first deducting half of its daily motion. It is from the moon our dudes and belles inherit their folly. It has twelve eyes, with the merest shell for their support, because they are always toward the sun. If we call its shell hollow hemisphere it 13 only to convey the truc pearance. It has no axis tdea of 1ts ap- The moon is 1w the lowest on the end of our earth's axis, that is, nearest the sun. he moon is full on the end of the axis most distant from the sun, Hence, in Summer, north of the equator the moon s low In summer south of the equator the moon Is high north )t the equator, The plane of our carth’s \xis in March and Scptember {s hortzontal directly over the sun, yet fractionally ca 1 test inclination north during our summer is 3 degr the of our earth so acting as to foree the sun over on ita own axis about alf of a de- | gree. | | | It depends on the age of the meon how far it I yerticlo south of the equator during our summer conditions, being exactly reversed when It 1s summer south. From this it will be seen why the new moon comes up north of the west line during our summer; also south of the west line during the summer south The moon life Is about twenty-nine day oloven hours and fifty-five minutes. If we call its orbit 1,436 minutes four seconds and divide it by the gain our earth makes during a moon, namely 118 minutes, the quotient s twelve and one-sixth, which, multiplied by the distance from the center of our axis to the face of our globe, namely 4,000 miles, glves us 48,678, From this subtract 4,000 miles and wo have the distance of the moon from cur earth as 44,678 miles, The moon I8 forced upwaed on the west side of our earth by the constant explosion of the sun. It It was a sphorold It would rise too rapidly. Now the sun has to lift a column of alr equal to the moon’s diameter and thus its motion is rotarded, its eyes being more dense than its body and the latter so light that its position is assured. After it has attained its utmost clevation, what we commonly call 189 degrees, it £inks down on the east side of our earth, When it 18 summer south our earth's 18 Is inclined to the south, It will thus be n why transits of May en south of or and vember are seen north I have re transits of methods for ments because they are the result mense labor and are of immense value seience, which ean well afford to pay fo information, H.

MAIDE not glven measure of im to ho - AMUSEMENT Could the first two acts of “The District Fair” be made Into one, Edward Barbour's sporting drama, which began a short engage- ment yesterday at the Fiftesnth Streot the- ater, would deserve to be ranked alongside the best examples of the modern melodrama. While it lacks the beauty and pastoral effect of “In Old Kentucky,” while it has drawn its inspiration from ‘“The County Fair," “Kerry Gow,” “Youth and other types of the American and English melodramatic schools, it tells a story of true love and de- votion, of the softening influence of a little child over the heart of a besotted fathoer, and handles in no uncertain manner the arch plotter, who well nigh wrecks a half-dozen lives. It draws from the old school the best types of stage characters, and from the in- tensely realistic of the present day it draws real horses, a horse race that has the merlt of novelty in the shape of hurdle jumping, a pickaninny band that sets the will echoes flying with noise, if not with music, and a fire scene in a blackemith shop which is sufficiently Jurid to please the most hardened theater goer.

About 300 are injured. The peos ple of Atalanta have fled to the hills for safety. In this district there was a_con- tinuous series of shocks, In seven hours and a half 815 shocks were counted. When the earth movements began and houses began to totter and fall many of the in- habitants forgot everything except thelr personal safe They ran wildly from their doomed ¢ity and sought a firm stand- ing place on the hills that rise behind the town. The earth swung to and fro like a pendulum and between the swings would tremble and quiver.

BUFFALO, April 29.—Montgomery Gibbs, a well known lawyer, was shot on Delaware avenue, near Bryant street, last evening at 9:45 o'clock. He died immediately after his arrival at the general hospital. As yet there is no clew to his assailant. The whole affair is shrouded in mystery. As far as Police Can Find on known to the police no one was seen to fire the shots, and those first to arrive on the scene saw only a man lying on the side- walk with blood pouring from three wounds and no one mnear at hand. The idea of suicide is hardly probable. Mr. Gibbs was a popular and well reputed citizen and an able member of his profession. Ile was un- married. Formerly he was a newspaper man, beginning his career on the Telegraph and completing it as city editor of the Republic, bo® of which papers are now defunct. ' He was about 35 years old. The Gibbs mystery still baflles the des tectives, and no arrests have been made. Nobody s suspected. No weapon has been found: The police have searched in vain for faotprints or signs of an encounter, Nelther is there knowledge or belief of any grudge or enmity foward the dead man, The assailant’s purpose cvidently was not robbery, as Gibbs' watceh, money and jewelry are infact, even his coafi was buttoned tight. All that is positively known is that Gibbs died from a wound inflicted by a small calibre revolver held at short range and that three shots were heard in rapid succession. The mysterlous absence of the weapon as well as any motive for suicide or murder make it the strangest case In the annals of Buffalo crimes.
