ARE OUT FOR THE PENNANT NOW Rowe and McVittle Docide that the Rag Must Come to Omaha After All Rowe and McVittie will put their cham- pionship team in the game this afternoon. It will readily be seen the aggregation s the strongest that has represented Omab on the diamond for several vears, an im- mense improvement over last season’s team in every respect. If Nattress shows up as well at short as he should there will be ball playing all the time when Omaha loses, Miles will make the outfield complete. It is violating no confidence to say the manage- ment 18 in correspondence with a = wal known pitcher, with every probabiiity of gecuring him. 'He {s known In Omaha, and is deservedly popular here on account of h ability In the box and his conduct on and off the field. If he comes Omaha will have the battery talent of the league, with Loh- man and Pace for catchers, and Darb Eagan, Balez, Donnelly, Carrish and the prospective for pitchers.” This i8 an array any management might be proud of. At present the best of spirit exists among the players, which in itself is half the game. Kot ‘& aisorganizer on the team, and ali anxious to win, there I8 good reason to think the Omahcgs will give a good account of themselves for the rest of the season. Rockford plays here today, tomorrow and Wednesday, and the team then leaves for a three weeks' trip, opening at Jackson- ville on Friday. No one can wish less than that President Kent's pets make a better stand _against the Indians at home than tkey did in Omaha. Nattress reached Omaha this morning and will go in the game at short this after- noon, Miles going to right. The team Omaha. Position. Rockford, O'Brien......... Bt S Pabst Hutchinson...

It was a joint club affair, and the Omaha, Tourlsts, Turners and Fort Omahas of this city, and Gany- medes of Councll Bluffs, were in jt. At Papillion they weré joined by the Spring- field_club, and all had dinner together at the hotel. On the road back to Omaha a serious mishap occurred. One steep piece of road turns abruptly onto a bridge at the bot- tom. Several unattached and apparently inavmerienced riders were coasting down this nill at top speed. One fell at the bot- tom turn and several more piled on him. One young man named Thompson was thrown headlong into the creek, striking on his face. He was severely cut and was bruised about the body as well. Another man, whose name was not learned, suffered a fracture of the collar bone, on the right side, while all the rest in the mess wcre bruised considerably Killing Kucing at Chicago.

HIS FIDDLE TALKED FOR HIM An Old Negro's Proof that He Had u Right to Be Careylng the Instrament. Several nights ago as Patrolman Charles Rommel was patrolling his beat, says the Loufsville Courler-Journal, he discovered en old darky walking down the street with a violin under his arm. When he had gotten | even with him he stopped him and began | questioning him. The policeman was not satisfled with the negro's account of where | he had gotten the instrument, and he placed him under arrest. The negro went on with- out a word, and at the station gave his name as James McCloskey, he next day he was presented before Judge Smith. The policeman told the judge how he had seen the negro on the street with the instrument, and he said that it did not belleve it belonged to him. It was a fine violin, he said, and a negro that had no more money than this negro seemed to have could not afford to buy such a fine instru- ment. The patrolman fihally asked the judge to give him two days to look for the owner of the violin, saying that he believed in that time he would be able to locate ite owner. The time was granted him, and the negro was held over. He was again court, Those against him tried to make out a felony case, as they sald that the violin was worth considerably over $20. The violin was worth $40, or perhaps $50. Dur ing the course of the trial the policeman told the judge that the negro had admitted to him that he could not play on the instru- ment, and that was one reason why he made the arrest, as he knew that a man would not pay a large sum for a thing he could not use, Up this time mained silent.

A light cam> in the darky's face as he took the Instrument into his hands. He looked it over carefully and then fondled it under his arm. He then took it from under his arm and began to tune It. He had scarcely struck the first note when the crowd in the court room began to stir and move up closer to the prison- er's dock. In a few moments the instrument was tuned, and in the swectest strains the ‘“‘Arkansas Traveler’” echoed and re-echoed through the court room. The crowd began to pat their feet in time with the music, and the judge had to order the negro to stop playing. While the prisoner was playing his hand trembled and his eyes shone with an unusual brightness. It was with reluctance that he stopped playing, and the crowd looked disappolnted. The negro sat still a moment, but he could stand it no longer. Again He placed the violin to his shoulder, and began playing “I'se Gwine Back to Dixig.” The crowd in the court room could contain themselves no longer, and it was with difficulty that order was restored. Again the.negro was stopped from playing. The judge looked at the pros- ecuting attorney and then at the arresting officer. “Do you say that this man cannot play?" he sald. The arguing of the case was finished and the negro was dismissed. it e PROVED HIM A COWARD. a Conspiracy . of Assassing Thwarted in New York City. Mr. Parke Godwin, then one of the editors of the New York Evening Post, had been very outspoken in his newspaper writings and also in public speech in denunciation of the polit- fcal methods in common practice, says a writer in McClure's. Thereby Mr. Godwin had aroused the hatred of Isaiah Rynders and bis associates. One afterncon, having left his office for his home, Mr. Godwin stopped, as was his cus- tom, in Florence's restaurant for some oys- ters. As he stood at the oyster stand he saw in the remote part of the room Rynders and some of his men. He suspected that they proposed to assault him before he could leave the buildiug. He realized that it would not do for him to run, however; so he began to eat his oysters, while deliberat- ing upon his course. Suddenly he noticed that a man stood beside him, and looking up he saw ““Mike" Walsh, who said to him: “Go on eating your oysters, Mr. Godwin, but do it as quickly as you can, and then go away. Rynders and his men have been waiting here for you and intend to kill you, but they won't attack you as long as I am by your side.” The advice was followed. After Mr. God- win, having finished his oysters, had gone out, Rynders stepped up to Walsh and said: “What do you mean by interfering in this matter? It is none of your affair.” “Well, Godwin did me a gocd turn once, and 1 don't propose to see him stabbed in the back. You were going to do a sneaking thing; you were Boing to assassinate him, and any man who will do that is a coward.” No man ever called me a coward, Mike Walsh, and you can’ “But I do, and I will prove that you are a coward. If you are mot one, come upstairs with me now. We will lock ourselves into a room; I will take a knife and you take one, and the man who fs alive after we have got througn will unlock the door and go out.” Rynders accepted the challenge. They went to an upper room. Walsh locked the door, gave Rynders a large bowleknife, took one himselt and said: “‘You stand in that corner and I'll stand in this, Then we will walk toward the center of the room, and we won't stop until one or the other of us is finished.” Each took his corner. Then Walsh turned and approached the center of the room. But Rynders did not stir. “Why don't you come out?”" said Walsh. Rynders, turning in his | corner, faced his antagonist and safd: “‘Mike, you and I have always been friends; what is the use of our fighting now? If we get at it we shall both be killed, and there is no good in that.” Walsh for a moment sald not a word, but his lip curled and fe looked upon Rynders with an expression of utier con- tempt. Then he said: “I told you you were a coward, and now I prove it. Never speak to me again.” ——— THE CURSZ OF THE FRENCH. Vitality of the Nation Sapped by the In- sidious Absinthe.

N INTERNATIONAL ~ ROW Grand Trial of Strength and Skill Betwaen College Oarsmen, CORNELL CREW BOOKED FCR ‘ENGLAND Details of the Coming Regutta at Henley- on-the-Thames—Ravord of the Amse- lean Crew Uasurpassed—E Innd's Champion Eight. Great Interest has been aroused among college athletes by the announcement that Cornell university intends to send a crew to England thi mmer to contest for inter- national laurels. The crews of England's colleges comprise the best amateur oo smen that country can produce, and their achieve- | ments in the past challenge the admiration of the world. Cornell an enviable record, In fact two world’s records, in this great sport, and has not lost a race in ten years. The contest will be a magnificent trial of strength and skill between the cham- pions of America and Great Britain, The event in which Cornell will take part is the principal race in the Henley royal re gatta, the great amateur rowing event of the year in England. The regatta is held at Henley-on-the-Thames, and s, as an old Oxford man sald recently, the pride of Eng- holds lish oarsmen. Besides being the most im- portant athletic event of the year, it has be- come a consplcuous soclety function, as fash- fonable folk from all England congregate there to see the races. Henley s but forty-five miles from Lon- don. During the racing season excursions are run from there every day. Society peo- ple take the'r own boats to the races, and what are called “boat stands" are sold at such enormous prices that the money de- rived from this source pays the expenses of the races and provides the fund for the prizes. The most important races are viewed by not less than 100,000 persons, and the scene on the river at Henley during the last day of the races is something entirely different from those presented by rowing events else- where, The regatta includes a number of races for fours, a few for pairs, and the famous dlamond challenge sculls for singles, The principal race, however, is that in eights for the grand challenge cup, and it is this for which Cornell is entered. The course over which the race is rowed is one mile and 550 yards in length, or not quite a mile and a half. Owing to the short distance rowed, it is probably the fastest race in the world, and it is certainly the most exciting, because the leading crews are hardly more than a boat's length apart. The entire mile and a half is a spur, 3uch as none but thor- oughly trained oarsmen can stand. For several years past this race has been wori by the Leander club, its principal com- petitors being Trinity Hall, Cambridge, the Thames Rowing club and the London Row- ing club. The Leander club is made up al- most exciusively ‘of Oxford and Cambridge oars, and its crew is chosen annually from the ‘best available men of the two varsity boats. Last year its eight contained six Oxford and two Cambridge men. Cornell will, therefore, meet the strongest amateur eight in all England, and a victory over the Leander club would be much more of an honor than over either Oxford or Cam- bridge. CORNELL'S ROWING RECORD. The question of sending a crew to England has been discussed by the Cornell Athletic council for some years, but, owing to the expense involved, the trip has not, before this year, been thought advisable. This year, however, Cornell is practically forced to cross the water if she wishes to keep up any interest In rowing among her students. This statement may require explanation. Cornell began rowing in the intercollegiate regattas, which included Harvard and Yale, in 1873. In 1876, and again in 1876, she secured first place in this regatta. Since that time she has met neither Harvard nor Yale in a varsity race, although year after year the Cernell authorities have tried to secure one, The freshman crews of the three universities have sometimes met, the result being always a victory for Cornell, as the Cornell freshman crews have mever lost a race. During the last ten years Cornell's principal competitors have been Columbia in the freshman races and the University of Pennsylvania in the varsity races. Over both of these Cornell has always won easily, but she has the most kindly feeling toward them, as, had it not been for their thoroughly sportsmanlike atti- tude, leading them year after year to train crews only to meet defeat, Cornell's crews would have had to disband without a rac2, In these years Cornell has steadily main- tained a high standard of training for her crews, establishing two world's records. One eight, in 1889, rowed one and one-half miles at Philadelphia in 7:03, and another, in 1891, established the record of 14:27% for three miles over the New London cours In the whole course of her aquatic career Cornell has won thirty-one victorfes and suf- fered eight defeats. When, therefore, Dean White visited England last summer and ex- amined into the conditions of the Henley race he decided to recommend to the athletic council that Cornell should enter for the grand challenge cup. After a thorough discus- sion the council decided last November to at- tempt to raise money enough to send the crew. In March the greater part of the neces- sary $9,000 was promised and the crew was entered. The man to whom Cornell's splendid record is in large part due is Charles E. Courtney, who s now coaching the Cornell crews for his twelfth season. Courtney is himse £ an cxpert oarsman, having won the single scull race at Saratoga in 1873. The “‘Courtney stroke' has become a well known term among oarsmen everywhere. Its essential characteristics are that it compels the oarsman to make use of his legs, to keep a stralght back and to put most of his force on the first part of the stroke. Mr. Courtney also lays great stress on the rigging of the boat, each man having a seat carefully adjusted to his measure. He compels every candidate for the crews to keep well up in his studies and is strict in his discipline. This spring, for instance, one of the most prominent men in the freshman boat has been dropped for mot properly obe serving the rules of training. THIS YEAR'S CREWS, The crews this year have been In training since January. During the winter mont they rowed on the machines in the gym sium, but as soon as the weather permitted in the early part of April they were put into the boats on theinlet and are now rowing there and on the lake. Training goes on ey- ery day except Sunday from 4 until 7 o'clock Courtney is kept busy, as there are two varsity crews, with a number of substitutes, and two freshmen crews in training. Of these, twelve men and a coxswain will be sent to England, but no one, not even Court- ney himself, knows who these men will be. Twenty-three names were entered at Hen- ley before March 81, the last date for en- tries, and from these twenty-three those twelve men will be selected who, at the time of salling, are the best oarsmen for the distance to be rowed at Henley. Probably not more than two men are sure of places at present. From the men who are left at Ithaca another varsity crew will be chosen to row in a triangular race against Columbla and the University of Pennsylvania. The Henley crew will sail for England May 29 on the Paris. This will give them one month to become acclimated, the time found necessary by the Yale athletic team last year. Their headquarters during the training season will be about ten miles from Henley, the cost of living at Henley In the summer season being enormous. As two shells are to be taken along, the crew will train at its headquarters in the morning, and then, leaving for Henley by rail, will train there in the afternoon. The shell in which the race will be rowed is one from the famous shop of Waters, of Troy, and is probably the best of its kind ever made in America. It will be paid for Dby the senfor class at Cornell, who leave it as the class memorial. The rallroads intend to rup excursions from Ithaca to New York May 29, and, as the next day is a holiday, it is altogetber likely that hundreds of the students will take advantage of the oppor- tunity to give the crews a rousing farewell trom & steamer down on lower New York Bay, b ;ll‘l‘EOl OF THE NEW RIFLES, | A Surgeon tn Chinw Says They Wound More Men, bat Not So Severaly. ‘The evolution of the modern military small which were Indicated {n his youth.
