Bryan beamed upon the Douglas Covnty Democracy last evening at the club’'s headquatters on Fiftéenth street, when Richard L. Metcalfe unvelled a large photograph’ of thé age of Lincoln, which he presented to the club with appropriate rhetorical jIluminasons. A campaign litho- graph of Mr. Bryan already hung on the wall between similar ~presentments of George Washington and Adlal Stevenson, while on the epposite wall Jefferson, Jack- son and Lincols were made the artistic en- vironment of.a highly colored beer adver- tisement, which occupled the colgn of van- tage in the center. A hatchet bearing un- mistakable evidence of use reposed on & stand in w corner, while at Mr. Metcalte's side, with one shightly disabled foot reing on the patent beer bottle stopper, was a stufted tiger, whose ferocity of appearance doubtless was sufficiently explained by a badly dislocated tall. Artistic veracity on the part of the taxidermist explained a deep gash in the tiger's breast and a broken leg. It had mot been expeotéd that Mr. Met- calfe would make the presentation speech, 4 his appearance and address were both evidently an agreeable addition to the pro- gram, judging from his reception. It may have been due to the lively applause which followed the actual unveiling of Mr. Bryan's handsome photograph, of to the eloquence of Mr. Metcalte's periods, or tb the play of the shadows, but it was averred by some of the members that the lines about Mr. Bryan's mouth jn his lithographed present- ment deepened into concentrlo playfulness and the ¢ sparkled with twinkling warmth. ir Metralte #ald mothing about the Declaration of Independence. & C. squ‘)unh “The Rell Buoy,” the first words 0t the soug, “Forever deserted, my cwn vigll keeping, I'm chained to the rocks like & captive for life,”” being recetved with subdued ; but audible, appreclation, which the amenities of the occasion could not completely suppress: Miller on the Boss Question. A murmur of expectancy greeted County Clerk Harry C. Miller when he rose to de- liver his address on ‘‘Political Bosses. Thoss {n & Teminiscent mood recalled Mr. Miller's recent anxiety when chairman of the democratic executive committee. Ed- ward Howell - fnsisted on dictating who should be selected as clerks in Mr. Miller's office and expected something to drap. Mr. Miller sald the successful management of political ffairs involved something more than the formulation of arbitrary orders by would-be 4fotators and complacent obe- dlence on the, part of all others. He ca fully distinguished between the politician who has 16fty’ ideals and the boss with & large sack opén for contributions. He spoke of Tilden as a representative of wl he meant by a politiclan and Tweed as the selfieh, - unscruphlous, dictator who never /rose higher then a boss. He sald David B. Hill was a living example of the one Dick Croker of Wantage of the other. “For, my _bwn part,” sald Mr. Miller, “I belleve in loyalty to political leade: hen it ¢ gl to bending the knee to s 1 wifl not do it.” Miller made no direct reference to local political management, but his address ‘was delivered with & firmness and distinet- ness of utterance unusual to perfunctory addresses: When he denounced Croker the shadows agaln were sald to play pranks With Mr. Bryan's lithograph, wrinkles gath- ering on the brow and the mouth assum- ing 'a severe tensity of expression. A bi fat. spectator with veraclous earnestne whispered that he saw the stuffed tiger tall twitch, but he must have been mi taken, for the tall is disjointed and the plece of telegraph wire which supports it is oo stiff to respond to aroused emotions.

Willard, theater-going would be a pléasure at all times, the caustie critio would fiad himself without a vocation and there would be little necessity of looking to the old masters for amusement vehicles. Two years ago Omaha theater-goers were charmed . by the beauties of Mr. Barrie's “Little Minister.” Thursday night they were delighted with “The Professor's Love Story,’”” one of his earlier efforts. ‘There is no straining or reaching out for a climax at any point in the play. All of the events are natural. The comedy s never forced, the humor being infectious at all times, the atmosphere wholesome and the general tome uplifting. Mr. Willard returns to Omaha after an absence of nearly ten years, and his wel- come was whole-hearted and genuine. Local theater-goers had seen him b ““The Middleman” and “Judal lard’s chief charm lles in his naturalness, his abllity to do a thing effectively, appat- ently without effort, and the artistic finish with which he endows his work. His supporting company with poesibly a single exception is an excellent ome, while the ecenie investiture is praiseworthy. Nothing to compare with the wheat fleld scene of the second act or the combined exterior and interior view of the professor’'s country cottage has been ed here re cently. ‘“The Professo~’s Love Story” will be re- peated tomight and Baturday matinee, and “David Garrick” will be the Saturday night offering.

WHITFIELD ANNOUNCES PLAYERS SIGNED Packard Declines to Say Whether on Will Open East or West, but Probability Favors Latter. DENVER, March 13.—(8pecial Telegram.) ~The harmonious meeting of the magnates of the Western league was brought to a close today and the visiting base ball men returned to their homes, where considera- ble work pievious to the openiog of the eeason awaits them. The league does not desire to fall into the error of belng obliged to revise its schedule after publication. There will nec- essarily be a conflict of dates at Kansas City and’ Milwaukee, but the Western league magnates feel that Nichols and Dufty will be able to hold their own in both cities. Duffy and Hart are now scouring the east for players and from the tele- grams received from them they are meeting with considerable success. Mr. Packard would not say whether the season would open up here or in the east. However, it seems that good judgment would dictate having the season open up west on account of the evenness of the wenther. President Whitfleld announced the following players as signed, none of the Peoria,» Milwaukee or Des Moines players appearing in the liet: Omaha—Catchers, Thomas, Hayes, Gond- ing and Reed; pitchers, Owens, Brown, Ris- ley, Alloway, Gordon and Graham; infleld- ers, Calhoun, Stewart, Hickey, Dolan and Burg; outflelders, Carter, Genins, Fleming and Stone. 8t. Joseph—Catcher, Garvin; Maupin, Parvin, McFadden and Lins; in- fielders, Brashear and H: outfielders, Belden, Hartman, Gill and Walters. Kans City—No catchers signed; pitch- ers, Weimer, Gibson and Kid Nichols; in- fielders, Hickey, Shanon and Allen; outfield- ers, Waldron. Colorado Springs—Catchers, Arthur, Baer- wald and Winson; pitchers, McNeely, Jones, Ream, Newmeyer and Gaston; infielders, Everitt, Frank, Cranville, Devereaux and Hollingsworth: outfielders, Dennen, Barret and Hemph! Denver—Catchers, Wilson and McConnell; pitchers, Eyler, Schmidt, Hartzell, Water- bury, Frisk and probably Webster; infield- ers, Davis, Delehanty, Radcliffe and Dun- don; outfielders, Jones, Preston, Honey- man and Pace. Hugh Duffy of Milwaukee, Joe Quinn of Des Moines and Billy Hart of Peoria are on the warpath for players and from re- cent advices they will soon have a full complement of men. Manager McKibben of 8t. Joseph s after another good catcher and more inflelders. No representatives of the National league or of the Natlonal Assoclation of Minor Base Ball Leagues having been present, the meeting of the Western league has proved to be less important than was prophesied. President James Whitfield speaks with con- fidence concerning the outlook for the season and predicts that Miiwaukee and Peoria, the new members, will strength the league. Mr. Whitfleld said today that Johnny Kling would probably be connected with one of the western teams, either as manager or holder of an interest. No objection has been raised to the action of President’ Whitfleld in endorsing the playing rules accepted by the Buffalo con« ference. He {fiformed the owners and Tepresentatives of the teams that the foul strike rule would be modified satisfactorily, as it would be devold of its comfusing fea- tures when it was finally approved by the rules committee. The committee on schedule, of which President Whitfield {s chalrman, ex-officio, has prepared a draft of schedule, but it is still undergoing revision and will not be made public until late In March or early fo April. It has been agreed to open the playing season on Wednesday, April 23, and closo September 22. It was also agreed to ignore the playing dates of the American assoclation In preparation of the schedule. BASKET BALL GAMES TONIGHT Two T from Sioux City Meet Locals at Y. M. C. A.

MARCH 14, 1904, MAIL RATES OF SUBSIDY BILLS Lower in Geme: at Outset Under Present Measure Th t Year's Schedule. WASHINGTON, March 13.—The secretary of the treasury today sent to the senate a statement from the commissloner of naviga tlon in response to a resoiution of inquiry in regard to the mall pay as affected by the ship subsidy bill. The commissioner says The maximum rates of mail pay are pro- {ded by the ship subsidy bill and atthor: ized by the act of 1891 In some instances the maximum rates are higher than th Imeximurn Tates \nder the act of 16l in other instances lofwer and in other’ In- Aances they are substantially the same The commissioner s that the rates pro- posed by the pending bill are lower at the outset in every imstance except in the general subsidy provided for five years for new vessels going to ports more than 3,000 miles distant from the United States than’ were proposed by the subsidy bill of the last congress. He says, however, that a considerable increase in American ship- bullding for several years would have re- duced the rates under the former bill, and adds: A corresponding increase in American shipbullding for several vears. involving reductions In_relative cost of construction will permit bids at lower rates for mail gontracts than the maximum rates fixed B pihe fendin bill, but such increase in dpbullding will not affect the rates of general subsidy under that bill BROKEN RAIL CAUSES WRECK Ditches Missouri FPaecific Passenger Train, Injuring Twenty- Four Persons, SEDALIA, Mo., March 13.-~A mixed Mis- eourl Pacific train on the Versalles branch was wrecked by a broken rafl near Fortuna, five and a balf miles from Tipton, today.
