Prof. Amos q. Warner, whose paper
precipitated the sensational discussion
OF the prison congress in Denver last
week, is n Nebraska man. DIR. War
ner asserted boldly that the average
policeman, police justices, sheriffs,
deputy sheriffs and Jail keepers are
only II shade, II at all, better than the
criminals with whom they come into
contact, His contention was that re-
form of police and prison management
is the necessary f%orerunner of reform
of criminals. Naturally this assertion
aroused no little dissent. For origi-
nality, however, 1t can not but reflect
credit upon its author.

The'history of Nebraska should be an
encomium of her pioneers. SO said the
orator at Pioneer day celebration Mt
the state fair. True, but the men who
came after them and helped carry for
ward the great work which they began
should not be forgotten. What the
pioneers accomplished was most impor-
tant. But there is also much important
work yet to be done in the develop

A QUESTION.

The question of n deep waterway to
connect the lakes with the Atlantic
seaboard is Il growing one and the
indications are that the agitation which
has been vigorously inaugurated will
not cease until practical steps are taken
for the accomplishment of this great
project. The northwest, which has.
perhaps, the greatest interest in the
question, is becoming thoroughly
aroused and its influence will be
strongly felt in congress in favor of
the enterprise. while in New York the
matter is receiving a great deal of at
tention and discussion. The people of
that state are to vote ut the November
election on the question whether the
canals shall be deepened and other
improvements made nj n cost of not
more than $9,O00,OOO, and a committee
OF merchants representing the various
commercial exchanges is engaged in
an active campaign in behalf of the
project. 1t is urged, on one hand, that
unless the canals are thus enlarged
they might as well be abandoned, since
under present conditions they can do

nett, Herman Oelrichs, Colonel William Jay
and some other well-known men of New
York concluded that polo ought to be in
troduced into America. With these men
to decide was to act, and as Mr.. Oelrichs
was going to Europe he was commissioned
to bring back from England the necessary
paraPhernalia.
When Mr. Oelrichs returned with the
outfit necessary the practicing began at
Dickel's riding academy. Mr.. Bennett and
Mr. OelrichS were the prime movers. w.
P. Douglas, S. S. Rowland, +. G. Griswold,
Viscount Vaudeville, afterward Duke of
Manchester, Fairman Rogers, John Mott
and Winthrop sThorne all joined in the
idea, and thence sprung the Country Club
of Westminster.
In the early fall of the same year the
club had obtained the grounds just beyond
Jerome Park and polo was an established
fact in the United States.
The first game was for prize saddle,
offered by Mr.. Bennett, and the players
were: James Gordon Bennett Herman
and Harry Oelrichs, Dick Peters, John
Mott, Fairman Rogers, Viscount Mande-
vile, w. P. Douglas and Colonel William
Jay.
The ponies were brought from Texas by
William Blessing and trained upon the
newly acquired grounds of the Country
Club of Westchester. They were of the
extreme bronco type, and to the trained
hunter riders of the club seemed most re-
fractory brutes. There were many bets
won and lost during the practice games,
but the general basis of all the bets was as
to who would be thrown first or stay on
longest.
All during the inception of the game
here the interest was steadily growing and
meanwhile the clubhouse and stables were
being built, and the ground, as near as
possible between practice games, gotten
ready for the first battle.
Society was all agog with interest, be-
cause each player was prominent as club
and society man. 1t was the pick of New
York society that composed the club and
was represented in the teams.
With comparatively unframed ponies
under them and spirit of strong rivalry
animating their Efforts the first game of
polo was played with an energy little likely
to be reproduced by the later players who
have ali the conveniencies and accouter-
ments needed, besides having perfectly
trained ponies instead of half trained
Texan broncos.
James Gordon Benefits side won the
saddle in the first game on the Westchester
Club polo grounds, and after that the same
team played at Newport. Then the game
was adopted by the swagger sets and since
then has become almost as common as in
any country on earth.
While in 1876 there was but one polo
club in America there are to-day more
than twenty. Among them are:
The Country Club of Westchester; Essex
County Country Club, Orange, n. j.; Meadow
Brook Club, Westbury, Long Island, n. Y;
Morris County Country Club, Morristown, N.
j.; Philadelphia Polo Club, Philadelphia, Pa.
Rockaway Club, Cedarhurst, Long Island, N.
Y; Westchester Polo Club, Newport, R. l.;
Myopia Polo Club, Hamilton, Mass; Howard
Club, bingham, Mass; Tuxedo Polo Club,

line, Brookline, Mass; Country Club of st.

A Patient Model

The other morning an English lady who
o ese to take the portrait of ragged but
picturesque" Moor, whom she met on the
street, got him in position, but found upon
examination that she had neglected to
bring an important part of her Kodak. So
she ran back to the hotel, two blocks
away. She there met some dear friends
from London, who had just arrived; so she
forgot all about the Moor and the kodak.
After dinner, o'clock, she remembered.
So, with an escort she hurried to the spot.
There the old Moor sat, just as she had
left him, facing the instrument. "Long
time take picture he said. He had been
there since 10 O'Clock A. NJ. of that day, but
the business of sitting still suited him.

Smiths and Joneses.

A curious gathering has been held in
Ipswich, and it is within the bounds of
proba ability that it will be repeated in Lon
don if the use of Hyde Park can be OBJ
tanned for the occasion. The Rev. Mr..
Smith determined to show the Smiths of
the locality their importance and the high
destiny reserved for them, and therefore
called a gathering of the clan to listen
to paper on 'Smithology." For
tunately Ipswich possesses pretty large
hall, and nearly all of the Smiths of
the town asserted themselves in re-.
Spouse to the pastors call and listened
with growing pride as the reverend gentle
man expounded the strength and the num-
beers of the great family to which they be-
longed. Could they all be gathered from
all parts OF the world and all nationalities
their force would be so amazing and over
whelming that the other names would be
afraid of being conquered. The Smiths
were destined to swallow up all the fami-
lies of the earth. Every year marked the
extinction of one or two, but when it came
to the Joneses' turn the Smiths would
have to try their level best, because the
Joneses were doing pretty well and ran the
Smiths good race. A great gathering of
this kind in Hyde Park would be a mag
nifcent pectacle.-London Telegraph.

you can drive down in an hour and a half
or spin down on your bicycle. 1t all de-

81 am interested in the club because
regard it as a good thing for our young
men. Life in the country tends to de-
velop our youth, mentally and physically.
These polo games are splendid thing to
train our young men. 1t is nothing more
than the old game of 'shinney,' that /
played as boy, except that the players
are mounted.
"The army has encouraged the game.
1t is played extensively in India by the
army men. The officials of the army in
the United States believe that the game
assists in enabling the officers to become
expert riders and horsemen, which is
quite true Besides, the striking on the
right and left and forward is nothing
more than the old saber exercise.
at is the opinion among army men that
the game will some day be introduced as
general exercise for cavalrymen. and that
is the idea of the Burlingame club, to de-
yelop all noble, manly, healthful outdoor
exercise, and the person who thinks polo
a game exclusively for rich young men is
mistaken. You can invite all the people.
They will be welcome"
There is now in San Francisco the man
who is largely responsible for the introduce

and who brought the first mallets. balls
and shirts from England into the United
States. The gentleman referred to is Her

at Burlingame. The acres are broad and
level as lawn. They are in splendid form
for the struggle between the Fourth Cav
airy riders and the home team, which meet
to test skill and endurance to-day. There
are strong players among the visitors.
Two of them left the field of active service
to compete in the tournament. The Bur

their own sinew and Workmanship. 1t
promises nice struggle.
The clubhouse is some distance from the
polo grounds, and visitors to the game
from the city will not have the time to see
it and get back to town by the evening
train. When the club was first formed
temporary quarters were established near
the polo grounds. But since that time a
