GAMES SCHEDULED FOR TODAY.
Detroit at St. Paul.
Grand Rapids at Minneapolis.
Columbus at Kansas City.
Indianapolis at Milwaukee.
St. Paul is in third place today.
But it is no nearer Indianapolis than i
It was yecterday morning.
The Hoosiers are playing pennant- ■
■winning ball, with the luck of circum- j
stances.
Yesterday's game here was very one- I
Bided after the fifth inning, when the
local team fell upon Pitcher McFar
land and piled up all manner of runs.
Jack Carney was out of the game. It
being the first league game he has
missed this season. Phyle's swift ball
of Thursday gave Jack a very bad
arm, and his physician advised him
that from the way it felt, there might
be a compound fracture below the el
bow. He hopes, however, to be able
to play in Minneapolis today.
Mullane pitched for St. Paul, and as
he walked into the diamond a storm
of hisses came from the bleachers
where there was very evident memory
of his unseemly conduct of last Sun
day. Mullane is clearly not the pop
ular idol that he was, and as soon as
he gets his head down to the same
size as the pedestal on which the pub
lic plants him, he will be much better
as a pitcher. A few sharp calls will
take some of the conceit out of him.
McFarland pitched for Grand Rapids,
and Pitcher Parker played first base,
putting up a fine fielding game. He
accepted every chance, and took In
some foul flies in a manner that would
{have done credit to old Jack Glasscock
himself, and the fans do agree that
■when it comes to foul flies the old man
is the best that ever happened.
O'Rourke was given first and stole
second. Glasscock hit for two bases
■which made a run. Then Jack stole
third and came home on a wild pitch.
The next three went out, Gettinger
catching George at first on one of his
characteristic throws from right field.
The Gold Bugs didn't get to first base
m the fn>t
Pickett landed squarely on the ball,
for two bases. A passed ball sent him
to third, and he came home on Shu
gart's fly to Mcßride. Parker went out,
but Gettinger and Mills hit for two
bases each. Tony gave Smink a base,
and then Camp hit one of his chance
drives to right field. That brought in
the third and tying run. The next two
■went out on grounders to Pickett.
Three successive singles and George's
fly to Mcßride brought in two more
runs. The Gold Bugs failed to reach
•first.
McFarland hit Mullane in the back
with the ball knocking him down.
Three flies, one to Mcßride and two
fouls which Parker fielded nicely re
tired igt. Paul. Smink was the only
Hung Chang to reach first and he went
there on a roller that rolled through
Jar-k Pickett's hands and feet. A pair
at two-baggers and five singles with an
error by Wheelock, gave the locals six
runs in the fifth. There were three
men on bases when Glasscock made
his second hit for the inning, a drive
to Gilks' vicinity. O'Rourke tried to
score on it from first base and was
eat^rht between third and home. The
Yeiiow Jackets failed to reach first.
St. Paul made five more singles and a
two-bagger. Five more runs. Butler
was put In to pitch. Grand Rapids
played three safe hits against a pair
of strike-outs, and only got one run
out of it all. Camp fanning with his
usual two men on bases.
Stratton hit a single and George put
the ball over the fence. Burns' hit
'-.cored both of them. Pickett flew
out to Gettinger, and Shugart hit a low
one to Parker. The little fellow was
awake in a minute and threw to
Wheelock who caught Burns, then cov
ered the base In time to get the ball
In return and get Shugart out. It was
it shnrp double play.
Butler gave two men bases, and then
a fly retired Wheelock. Gilks hit a
Fhort one, and filled the bags, but the
next two sent flies to the outfield, and
no one scored.
St. Paul did not get any one to first
In the eighth. After Mills gave Burns
a fly, Smink sent a hard drive into the
far field between left and center. It
•was good for three bases. Camp again
bit safely and scored the chub. The
Xiext two failed, however.
Glasscock opened the ninth with aja,
easy one to Camp, who threw the ball
over Parker's head and let Jack go to
Second. Stratton singled and George
made a home run over the left field
fence, a long one and a beauty. After
that there were divers and sundry
•singles and two-baggers until St. Paul
had acquired the modest competency
of twenty-four runs for the game, when
Glasscock gave them another chance
to put him out, and this time Wheelock
did better than Camp had done.
Wheelock then got his base on balls,
but Gilks hit Pickett a liner, and
Wheelock was caught off first on a
pretty double play. Butler gave Park
er a base and Gettinger hit safely, so
that Grand Rapids had the customary
two on bases when Mills gave Burns

KIND OF MILLERS.
Defeat Detroit Four Straight and
Put St. Paul In Third Place.
Detroit put up a better fielding game In
Minneapolis yesterday than usual, and wit
good work at the bat might have won, but
Hutchison did about as he pleased with them.
Minneapolis made the first scores in the first
inning. Connors made a fine triple. Lally
sent up a fly which Dungan muffed, and
Connors came home on a hit by Wilmot.
Lally scored while Wilmot was thrown out
at second. Nicholson walked to first stole
second, and went to third on Schriver' s bad
throw to Ball, and came home on Stallings'
out at first. Minneapolis had three men left
in the second inning, but could not score
again until the sixth inning. Then Lally hit
safely. Wilmot reached first on Trost's error
and both scored when Werden made a fine
three bagger.
In the ninth, Wilmot beat out a hit toward
first base, went to second on Werden's out,
and scored on Frank's hit. Whistler, the
first man up for Detroit, made a great hit
over the left field fence. Unfortunately for
Detroit there was no one on the bases to
come in with him. Burnett drove the ball
into center field for three'bases and scored
while Fifield was flying out to Wilmot. That
J ended the run getting. The Detroits pre
sented their usual patched up appearance.
I Stallings played left field for awhile, and then
gave way to McCauley. Nicholson was too
sore to play second base long, and Trost
took his place. This weakened the team per
ceptibly. The score.

The surprise of yesterday's game was the
way Dr. Harley Parker played the Initial
bag. He went after foul flies with tha enter
prise of the best of them, and what is more
captured them, taking one out of Smink's
own territory. If he were as good a hitter
as Carney, Jack could easily lay off a day
or two more and rest his arm up.
* * *
If, as his physician fears, Jack Carney's
arm was broken by Phyle's swift curve, it is
a revelation of the uncertainties of base ball.
It has been supposed that the arm, cushioned
with well developed muscles, as ball
players' arms are, was one of the safest
things to turn toward the ball, but Carney
seems to have caught the sphere too near
the elbow Joint.

fans on entering the box. And ladies' day,
too.

The suspicion is gaining ground that Grand
Rapids made no mistake in signing Mcßride.

In the ninth inning, when Butler struck out.
Smink thought that made three and dropped
the ball in the sand. Spies went from first
to third.

Yesterday was another day for the fatten

It was Pickett's first error in five games.

It looked from the press stand as though
O'Day gave Grand Rapids the worst of it by
one run in the seventh, when Spies came in.
Mcßride made a beautiful throw from center
field, and Smink, apparently, had Spies fully
two_feet before he reached the base.

FOLEY GAINED ."»«.
The Youngster Did Some Playing
Last Night.
Young Foley showed a marked improve
ment in the play in his match with Harrison
at Foley's rooms last night, making 206 to
Harrison's 300, or 56 more than his propor
tion, under the terms of the match. This Is
not enough to make up the lead which Har
rison has, but brings the match down to a
pretty even thing. Harrison doubled 8 times
last night, his best run being 73. Foley had
as many double figure innings, five of them
being 20 or better. The Harrison-Foley match
will be finished tonight. Frank Thayer Is of
tbe opinion that he can score more points
against Harrison than Foley has. and It Is
likely that Harrison will give him a chance
to show what he can do next.

OMAHA, Neb., July 10.— All Nebras
ka is excited tonight over Bryan's Dom
ination and Informal celebrations such
as bands playing, horn tooting and
crazy Democrats yelling in a most en
thusiastic manner Is common through
out Nebraska. It is most Intense in
Omaha, though no formal steps have
yet been taken toward a proper cele
bration. It came too much aa a sur
prise. In Omaha the enthusiastic crowd
gathered in front of the newspaper of
fices to watch the bulletin from the
convention. It was a pleasant crowd.
It was a Democratic crowd, and it
voiced its sentiment in continuous and
vociferous utterances. It was essen
tially a Nebraska crowd, however, for
Its utterances were more energetic and
enthusiastic when Nebraska and its
sister state, lowa, came in for notice in
the bulletlning,which came rapidly over
the wire. When Bland was placed be
fore the convention a cheer announced
that there were many friends of the
Missouri statesman among the crowd,
and much cheering resulted, but a
Georgia delegate, Mr. Lewis, advanced
to the platform to present the name of
Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, and
the cheers, cries of "our next president"
and similar exclamations were deafen
ing.
When five states in succession sec
onded the nomination of Mr. Bryan
there was a clamor so great that it
was Impossible to distinguish the indi
vidual sentiment expressed, but the
shouts resolved themselves into one
t prolonged
CHEER OF APPLAUSE.
When Mr. Bryan's photograph was
displayed the uproar, shaking of hand
; kerchiefs, throwing of hats and surg
ing of the crowd rivalled any previous
exhibitor,: of enthusiasm.
The nomination of Matthews, of In
diana, did not create a furore, but some
cheers were accorded the announce
ment. When Boies name was displayed
as having been announced, the crowd
gave vent to its appreciation and the
"girl In white"" received a cheer. The
presentation of the name of Blackburn
was met without any great response aa
was that. -ot McLean. The crowd was
patient, notwithstanding, the slowness
with which the work of the convention
proceeded, and waited with the dispo
sition consonant with a desire for a
final result. When the announcement
was made that the convention had
named Bryan, shouts of "hurrah for
Bryan" rose and lasted until the crowd
had dissipated into the distance. Above
the hurrahs was the Nebraska yell:
Hi Ho Ho,
Nebraska.
Rah, Rah. Rah,
O-ma-hah,
We're for the West.
Right In line,
Right in line,
For Billy Bryan.
When the bulletin was posted, an
old gray-haired man threw up his hat
and this was the signal for many
others. Men hugged each other, and
such a mighty cheer . went up as has
never before been heard here. The. pe©n,
pie seemed. , to, , forget themselves, or
rather, take a personal Interest in the
artribuhc^tohtahrreach tried to out-^Io,
the other in sound.

reception will be tendered Hon. William J.
Bryan in Lincoln on his Return home. He

PHRASES.
HIS HISTORY AND HIS HOME LIFE.
Live* at Lincoln and Has Devoted
His Time to the White Metal
Cause.
William Jennings Bryan was born March
19 1860, In Salem, 111. He was taught under
his mother's car* until he was ten years
old, when he went to the public school of
Salem, which he attended for fire years. At
the age of fifteen he went to the Whipple
academy in Jacksonville, 111., which is the
- preparatory department of the Illinois col
lege, located at the same place. He spent
two years in the academy and four years in
the college, taking a classical course. He
represented his college in the interstate ora
torical contest in 1880, and was class orator
and valedictorian in 1881. He then went to
the Union college ol law in Chicago, and
while in attendance there, was in the office
of Lyman Trumbull. He left the law school
June 18, 1883, and went to Jacksonville to
practice law, remaining at Jacksonville un
til October, 1887, when he removed to Lin
coln, Neb., going Into partnership with A. R.
Talbot, a classmate of the law school.
He had taken part in political campaigns
since 1880, and made a number of speeches.
He took part in the campaign of 1888 in Ne
braska, and was nominated to represent the
First district in congress in 1890. He was
elected by the majority of 6.713, although the
district had gone Republican by 3,400 when
Secretary Morton had been defeated in 1888
and was thought to be certainly Republican.
>He supported Springer for speaker in the
Fifty-second congress, from whose district
in illinois he came originally. This led to
his being put on the ways and means com
mittee, of which Springer was chairman, and
on March 16. 1892, he made a tariff speech
that was the sensation of the day and was
liberally distributed as campaign literature.
He was re-elected in 1892 in spite of the
fact that the legislature had redistrieted the
state, and his district in the previous elec
tion had given the Republican ticket about
6,000 majority. In the Fifty-third congress
he helped to frame the Wilson bill, being a
member of the ways and means committee.
and took an especially active part in the
income tax provision. At the close of the de
bate on the income tax, in congress, reply
ing to Bourke Cochrane, Aug. IC, 1893, at the
special sea-ton. he delivered a three-hour
speech against the repeal of the Sherman law,
this speech being more largely circulated
than the tariff speech had been. He also
spoke In favor of the bill to coin the
seigniorage, and spoke against Carlisle's cur
rency policy and also against Cleveland's
gold contract with the Rothschilds.
In 1894 he became a
CANDIDATE FOR THE SENATE,
and announced that he would not be a
candidate for the lower house of congress.
He was nominated for United States sen
ator in the Democratic convention, and the
Populist candidate in his district was In
dorsed by tbe Democrats for the house of
representatives. Tbe ensuing state legislature
being Republican, John M. Thurston was
: sent to tbe senate and the Republican can
didate in his former congressional district,
| J. B. Sterode, was elected by 5,600 majority.
1 During all three of the campaigns he chal
lenged the opposing candidates to debate, and
several discussions were held.
After his retirement from congress he took
up the practice of law in Lincoln again, but
the silver campaign opening, he found that
the calls upon him for speeches and cam
paign work were so frequent that he was
forced to give up his law practice. In Sep
tember, 1894, he became the editor-in-chief
of the Omaha World-Herald, and bad con
trol of its editorial policy on state and nation
al questions.
Mr. Bryan is a man of small means. He
was married Oct 1, 1884, to Mary Baird, of
Perry, 111., who attended the female academy
In Jacksonville, when he was in the other
I school at the same place, and who graduated
i the same week that he did, and was also the
• valedictorian of her class. She studied law
. and was admitted to the bar, without any
idea of practicing, bat simply to be more
I thoroughly companionable to him. She is a
year or two younger than he. Three children
have been born to them, Ruth, ten years old;
; William J. Jr., about seven, and Grace, five
years old. Mr. Bryan is a Presbyterian, hav
ing Joined the Cumberland Presbyterian
church at the age of fourteen. He is now a
member of the First Presbyterian church of
Lincoln. His father was Silas L. Bryan, who
was a circuit Judge at the time of "his son's
birth, and served In that capacity from 1860
to 1872 on the bench of Illinois. Judge Bryan
moved on a farm a short distance from Sa
lem when his son was six years old, and
from that time, until be was twenty-three
years old, Bryan spent his summers on the
farm. In 1872 his father, ran for congress on
the Greeley ticket and was defeated by 240
votes.
His family comes from Virginia His father
was born in Culpepper Court House in that
state, and died in Salem, 111., in 1880. His
mother, whose name was Mary Elizabeth Jen
nings, was born in Marion county, Illinois,
and died in Salem a week ago last Saturday,
after a protracted illness. In appearance, Mr.
BRYAN IS IMPRESSIVE,
his face Indicating intellectuality and power,
as well as good nature. There is notable ab
sence of the boyish expression seen in the
pictures of him which have been circulated.
He is affable and kindly in manner, easily
approachable and does not lack dignity. In
appearance he is an illustration of the fast
that some men are never accorded Justice by
a picture, which ie his case does not pre
pare one for the expression of keenness
shown In his face.
Bryan has not long been a political figure
in Nebraska; in fact, he is a comparatively
new man in the political arena of his state.
Through his debates on finance with Senator
John M. Thurston, Bryan became known as
the champion of silver. Bryan supported J.
Sterling Morton for congress in 1885. The
letter was defeated. In 1890 Bryan himself
ran In the an district against the a_»

opponent He challenged his adversary to a
series of Joint debates and made so brilliant
a showing, that he carried the district by a
tremendous majority. It is said the fame he
gained In these joint debates, of which the
tariff was the theme, induced Speaker Crisp
to appoint Bryan on the ways and means
committee. On March 12, 1892, he scored his
first great oratorical success in a speech on
free wool before the election of 1894. Mr.
Bryan refused a renomination as congress
man and campaigned for election to the Uni
: ted States senate. His platform for the 16
to 1 free coinage of silver caused Morton and
other administration Democrats to light him
bitterly. He was, however, nominated hy the
Democratic convention. Two Joint debates at
Lincoln and at Omaha respectively, with John
M. Thurston, the candidate for the senator
ship, attracted much attention. The legisla
ture was, however, Republican and Thurston
was elected.
Mr. Bryan lives well, in a commodious
dwelling in the fashionable part of Lincoln.
The study in which both Mr. and Mrs. Bry
an have desks is a very attractive room.
It Is flltod with books, statuary and mo
mentos of campaigns. There are busts or
portraits of noted men. and there are two
butcher knives which Mr. Bryan used in the
campaign with Judge Field to refute the
lafcter's boasts of the effects of high protec
tion. Last year Mr. Bryan was asked If
he had any aspirations looking to the White
house, and he said: "No. I have no wish
to be a
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE,
j neither now or for the years to come. My
whole thought now is centered on my fam
ily and my profession so far as my own per
sonal desires go. I was brought up m the
country, and I wish my children to have
some of the same rearing. They are now
at the age when they need a father's care,
and I wish to get into practice again, for I
very much enjoy the law, which has been
necessarily abandoned during my four years
in Washington."
Mrs. Bryan has a great liking for politics,
and accompanies her husband on many of
his Nebraska Jaunts. Hex tastes are es
sentially literary, and she has written much
for various causes. She is a charming wom
an and Is as great a favorite in Lincoln as
her husband. She was one of tbe organiz
ers of Sorosts, the leading women's club of
Lincoln, and is also a leader of tbe W. C.
A. and other societiea Mr. Bryan says she
is invaluable to him in suggestions and the
preparation of material, and in advice to
points and methods. The children are very
bright and are pretty and well bred. It I*s
not only for Mr. Bryan's great gifts as a
speaker that he is eeteemed so highly by the
people of his home. No taint has ever at
tached to his public or private acts. He
neither smokes, chews, swears nor drinks,
and his language Is pure.
Bryan's friends figure that he should be an
influential factor with the Populists, since it
was much through his influence that Nebras
i ka, two years ago, indorsed Silas A. Hol
comb. the Populist nominee for governor,
and by virtue of the fusion defeated Thomas
Majors, the candidate leading the Republi
can forces.
Mr. Bryan stands about five feet ten
inches, weighs about 170, is a pronounced
brunette, has a massive head, a clean-shaven
face, an aqueline nose, large under jaw,
square chin, a broad chest, large. lustrous^
j dark eyes, and a mouth extending almost
from ear to ear. Beneath his eyes is the
protuberent flesh which, physiognomists say
is indicative of fluency of language, and
which was one of the striking features in
the face of James G. Blame.
Bryan neglects none of the accessories of
oratory. Nature richly endowed him wfth
rare grace. He Is happy in attitude and
poee. Mellifluous is the one word that most
aptly describes his voice. It is strong
enough to be heard by thousands. It is so
modulated as not to vex the ear with monot
j ony, and can be stern and pathetic, fierce
or gentle, serious or humorous with tho vary
i ing emotions of Its master. In drawing a
comparison between Samuel J. Randall and'
! Bryan, the latter is thus described: "In:

greater reputation than did Randall in the
same length of time. Indeed it may be said
without any extravagance that when Bryan
quit congress he had as far-spread fame as
Randall had when he died after twenty years
of congress." Bryan is a scholar, and has
stowed away In his capacious cranium much
of the golden grain of wisdom and little ot
the husks, and it is all there for use, either
as argument or embellishment.

HIS BOXES.
The Strangre Request Made by a
Chinese Merchant In California,
San Francisco Call.
Yo Li Di, a rich Chinese merchant ot
Locke ford. Cal., died a month ago, but the
funeral was not held until yesterday, as Dl
had requested when he saw that his end was
near, that his body should not be buried un
til the arrival of his eldest s«H from China.
But the old merchant fairly astonished his
family and friends by the last wish that he
expressed.'
Just before passing away he spoke to those
around him, saying, "I am old. Nearly
seventy-eight years have passed over my
iiead. I have lived in this land since I was
a young man. My wife lives here, and now
this land is the home of my sons Now, let
my old body be buried here and my bones
lie undisturbed for all time in the land where
I have lived."
Several urged old Dl to follow the customs
of his people and have his bones sent back to
China, but he was obstinate. '
"I have voiced my wish. My bones must lie
in the land where I have lived. Let none in
terfere," he answered.
It is safe to say that no one will disturb
bis last rest, for, being wealthy while in life,
he was obeyed, and, though now dead, none
will dare disobey.
Four weeks ago the old man died and all
of the embalraer's arts were brought out to
preserve the body until the son arrived from
China, where he had goae to find his bride.
The young man returned a few days ago and
the remains were brought to San Francisco
for burial. From an Oriental standpoint It
was. one of the grandest affairs that money
and friends could procure. The body was
laid out in state in the rooms of the Kong
Chow association on Pine street, while on
Brenham place, near Clay street, the usual
Asiatic religious ceremonies, with the mourn
ers, the spread of edibles and strange muslo
were observed.
A little after 1 o'clock the funeral cortege
started to the cemetery, and in the line were
over forty carriages containing relatives and
friends. After the body was properly Interred
the widow and her children returned to their
home In Lockeford.
