This aftcinoon at 3 o'clock another game ot foot ball will bu started on the gridiron field at University Club park In the endeavor to dccldo vvluthcr Nebraska or lown has the strongest eleven In the Western Intercol- le late Fool Kail association. It will not bo a championship game. The championship BBino wa.s played on Thursday. Hut It will bo a real contest from tnc first Kick-off until the time of the second half shall have' expired. , It will be to decide the relative mcrlta of the two best elevens ever seen In this part of the country. The tie game of Thursday only had the effect of stimulating the players ot both teams , lown Is conlldent that It can rush through Nebraska's line today. Nebraska Is positive It can smash Hull's Interference all to pieces and ptevent any considerable gains. All things considered , It really should bo a more exciting game , both from the critic's and from the spectator's stand point , than the game of Thursday. The gnmo will start promptly at 3 o'clock , each team lining up with the snmo placrs ns In the start of Thursdays game. The olllclals have not yet been selected. At a late hour last night the men In charge of each team reported all the plov ers In good condition and fairly confident. Coach Hull of Iowa maintains a Quaker si lence , but Manager Price admits that low i Is not so confident of victory as It was the night before Thursday's game. Coach Uobln- son has placed the score of today's game at ll-C , In favor of Nebraska , and his Judgment In athletic matters In the cast and west has always been well worthy of consideration. Speaking of today's game , Krank Craw ford , Michigan's old star , last night said : COACHES NOT SATISFII3D. "Coach Hull of the Iowa team has c\- prc sed hlmaelf aa dlssatlslled with the work of his men on Thanksgiving day. Coich Uoblt.uon of Nebraska also 1s not thoroughly satisfied with the work ot his men. Uoth teams think they ought to have won Thanks giving day. Iloth teams feel pretty confident ot inning and are anxious to have another chance to demonstrate their superiority. Ow ing to the slippeiy condition of the grounds It was Impossible to execute with any degree of perfection any trick or fancy plas. and both teams have a supply cf these up tholr sleeves which they aio anxious to spring upon their opponents. " Each team has had an opportunity to learn thu strong points and the weak points of Its opponents , and It is likely that on this account there will bo considerable scor ing today. Nobody was hurt or bruised on either side during the game nf Thursday , so the lineup this afternoon will bo just the same as on Thursday. Coach Hoblnson made his men put on their suits > csterday afternoon and put them through some sharp practice at the tennis grounds on Ilarney stiect , nml gave them a good rub down The Iowa , bojs spent the day quietly at the Dollono and around town. The railroads have granted an extension of the excursion tickets so that the followers of the lupccllve teams arc staying over until tomoirow. The gime tomorrow will distinctly not Do an cxmmuon game ; it will bo a game which Is to decide satis factorily which Is the better team of the two breat wcstein universities. GROUNDS IN GOOD SHAPE. The mow has been ncrapod off the gridiron and the grounds nro In good condition for the plavers. Wlreo have been put up to keep back the crowd. Owing to the fact that the gridiron had to bo moved further north on account of a pool of water near the grnnd- ntand , It was Impossible on Thursday to fur- nlsli the rcyervcd acats , which were ndver- tl od. Some rci-orved peats were sold In nd- vance and to all tho"c who purchased the s'amo the management offers to give a ticket to Satnrda'n game In nearly all the cities in the country It is the custom to charge ! l admission to foot ball games This ha.i iH'on the price In Minnesota and Knii-as City for Eomo years It IP very dldlcult to raise the nt-cesyary money requited to pay the expenses of the foot ball teams on a small admission. The admission hero In Omaha hao been placorl at 50 cents. Thu attendance nt Kansas City on Thurs day In the rain and sleet was 7.000. Omaha ought to bo os good n foot ball town ns Knnsm City. The University club certainly deserves n good deal of credit for giving to the pcoplo of Omaha an opportunity to see good amateur foot ball. ur.st i/r > o\ Tin : UWMM ; TIIACKS.

The sordino Industry In the provinces of Hrlttnny nml Vendee cmplojs n large popu lation of men , women and children , Nantes Is the most Important center for the prep aration of canned sardines , though La Uochelle nnd several other maritime towns nro nblo to rival the llrlttany metropolis today. The sardine manufacturers of Nantes , relates the New York Times , own over 100 Important factories , scat tered along the coast between I.cs Sables d'Olonne , St. Olios nnd Hello Isle. It Is from the beginning ot June that Bar- dines begin to Hock along the Hrlttnny coast. Llko cod , they are season fish , nnd their favorite abiding place Is at great depths , among marine grasses , two or three miles from shore , Micro they as semble In largo numbers. The sardlnu Is fished In the biimo manner as the coil , ex cepting that tlio net Is made with smaller openings. Thei.0 nets nto termed "manets" In llrlttany. Hvery jcar thousands of fishing smacka start out sardine fishing. The vessels nro ot light construction and only nt for a calm sea. It overtaken by a squall they often have barely time to seek rcfugo in some friendly harbor. The average length of those craft Is from twenty-five to thirty feet. They are fitted out with a number of large oars , the use of which IB indispensable to manage the boats on their lettirn to port. As a rule , the captains of these fishing boats nro the owncre as well , but In the past ten years many factory owners have started fishing ileeta of their own. The crow of an average sardine boat consists of between sen en and ten men , only three of whom arc profc. lonnl sailors the captain , his mate and one sailor boy. The remainder are peas ants , who make use of the fishing time to fill up the fanners' dull season. The stall for the day's flslilng takes place every momlng ; the boils leave poit at low tldo and sail to the spot where the sardines have been signaled. As soon as the ftah have been neon the nets , many of which nro over 3,000 feet long , are thrown overboard. These nets have all been blackened before hand with smoke , so aa not to frighten the fish. At the sime time the fishermen scat ter halt around them ; the favorite bait Is called "rouge , " and Is made of fish roe. Once the net Is filled U Is drawn Into the boat , emptied and thrown out again. The satdino spoils very easily , nnd the fishermen nro In consequence obliged to return early In the evening at high tide. As soon as the boats reach , , the docks the "remamlcuscs , " as the "sardine women" are termed , seize the nets , stretch them along the beach and mend them' If necessary. Meanwhile the captains sell their fish cither to fish merchants or to the sardlno factories direct.1 Once the sales are made the "sardine women" In the service of the factories flock to the harbor and clean the fish ; the scene then Is most tjplc.il , nnd has often been made a subject for the paint er's brush. Conversation at once begins between these1 sturdy fishwives nnd the fishermen , ! and the relative merits of the day's catch arc discussed and commented upon. Once the boats nro emptied and the fish cleaned , the fishermen go to the neighboring "cabaret" to settle the da's pay ; the first proceeding js to deduct from the day's gioss Income the several expenses , such as coat of bait , thp day's food , etc. What remains Is divided unto ( a certain number of portions tions , oflicfi | the captain has generally two , the mate wic-halt or one-quarter , und the rest of the crew what remains. When the Hulling has been good , the day's profits are considerable , but on a bad day the men are often In distress , as they have no reg ular pay The preparation of the sardines In oil Is as follows The fish are first washed in salt water , beheaded anil cleaned. Thev HIP then salted and dried In the sun , or In aerated rooms , specially prepared for the purpose. They arc then slightly dipped Into burning oil , and when cooled oT ! they aie placed In tin boxes , which nro made In the factory. These boxes are filled with oil , hermetically sealed , and dipped Into boiling water to prevent fcimentation taking place This last operation finished , the boxes are packed In wooden cases , filled with sawdust , and nro then all ready for sale. Cvery factory employs on an average 150 women , twenty children , and ns many men , these latter being tinsmiths for the most part The women employes receive very small pay 3 or 4 cents nn hour. Those employed In the boiling process receive n slightly larger salary , this work being more dangerous and difficult. rim cri : % I'liiu. Dili : DIMllK-t and hi-i'liniH Iosfi In lodcrifc ISoiiNrH. With the introduction of modern con veniences , Go-called , Into house building , cays the Chicago Tribune , there has been at least ono distinct and serious loss ; the fireplace has been banished , The hearth , mound which cluster so many memories , has given place to cells of heated Iron or a furnace In subterranean depths , which gives out warmth at the expense of comfort. It Is true that In many houses nowaday makc-bcllevu firoplaecs are built , wherein Imitation logs of pottery with painted bark and fireproof mass , lighted with gas , moko n sorry substitute for the roaring fireplaces of the primitive days. The ciicKct that song on John Pceryblnglo's hearth would never chirp before n gas log. The brownies and nil the beneficent fairy folk that were wont to disport before the glowing embers In n big Jlrcplnco In the times of simple vvoith and honesty would fieo In dismay at the sight of an imitation backlog made of clay. What sciibo of sat isfaction can ono get from the sibilant whisper of snow flakes upon the window pane or the howling of " 'f storm without while sitting before one of these modern fireplaces ?

The Interview with General Woler Inspires much comment nt the headquarters of the Cuban junta In thli city Provident I'strada Palmn declared the statements of We'ylor wore absolutely devoid of truth , and that lie had Intentionally mis represented tlio condition of Cuba. "I see , " paid ( President Palma.
