FIREMEN AT OMAHA.
A NATIONAL TOURNAMENT AT
THE EXPOSITION.
Prizes Amounting to $4,000 VIII be
Awarded by the National Firemen's
Association-Last National Tourna-
ment was at Chicago In 1873.

The National Firemen's association
will hold a national tournament on
the Trans Mississippi Exposition
grounds at Omaha, Sept. TO 10.
Prizes amounting to $4,000 in value
are offered by the National Firemen's
association, and a similar amount will
be expended by the exposition directors
in the erection of buildings and prepa-
ration of the grounds for the tourna-
ment. Several structures will also be
erected for the express purpose of being
set on fire to give the laddies chance
to do some real fire fighting.
The railroads have agreed to make
very low rates for the tournament, and
it is expected that $4,000 firemen and
their friends will be in attendance.
The national firemen's tournament
was held at Chicago 90 years ago. AT
that time there were but two state fire.
mems associations in the country,
whereas there is now one in nearly
every state. The tournament to be
held in Omaha will be very much more
elaborate than was attempted at Chi
cago in 1878. There will be three times
as many contests and a very much
larger number of competing companies
and it is probable that nearly every
state in the union will be represented
by one or more companies.

SPANS Power 800 Years Ago.

Macauley drew the picture OF the
power OF Spain 300 years ago. that II ia
interesting to recall at this juncture:
The empire OF Philip the Second was
undoubtedly one of the most powerful
and splendid that ever existed in the
world. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that during several years his power
over Europe was greater than even
that OF Napoleon. In America his do
minions extended on both sides of the
equator into the temperate zone. There
Is reason to believe that his annual
revenues amounted in the season OF
his greatest power to sum ten times
as large as that which England yielded
to Elizabeth. He had standing army
OF $4,000 troops when England did not
have single battalion, in constant
pay. He held, what no other prince
In modern times has held, the domin-
ion both Of the land and the sea. Dur
ing the greater part of his reign he was
supreme on both elements. His SOL
diers marched up to the capital Of
France; his ships menaced the shores
Of England. Spain had what Napo-
leon desired in vain-ships, colonies,
and commerce. She long monopolized
the trade OF America and of the Indian
ocean. All the gold Of the west and
all the spices of the east were received
and distributed by her. Even after
the defeat of the Armada, English
statesmen continued to look with great
dread on the maritime power Of Philip.
Whoever wishes to get well acquaint-
ed with the morbid anatomy Of gov
eminent, whoever wishes to know how
great states may be made feeble and
wretched, should study the history Of
Spain.

Perhaps / might forcefulIy illustrate
this truth by calling your attention to
an incident which took place twenty
five years ago. One Monday mornins
at about o'clock, while her nine hun
dred passengers were sound asleep In
her berths dreaming Of home, the
steamer Atlantic crashed into mars
Head. Five hundred souls in ten min
utes landed In eternity! Oh, what
scene! Agonized men and women rum
ming up and down the gangways, ana
clutching for the rigging. and the
plunge Of the helpless steamer, and the
clapping of the hands OF the merciiess
sea over the drowning and the DEAD
threw two continents into terror. But
see this brave quartermaster pushing
out with the lifeline until he gets 10
the rock; and see these fishermen gath
ering up the shipwrecked, and taxing
them into the cabins, and wrapping
them in the flannels snug and warm;
and see that minister Of the Gospel,
with three other men, getting into
life-boat, and pushing out for the
wreck, pulling away across the SURF,
and pulling away until they saved one
more man, and then getting back with
him to the shore Can those men ever
forget that night? And can they ever
forget their companionship In peril,
companionship in struggle, companion
ship in awful catastrophe and rescue?
Never! Never! In whatever part OF
the earth they meet, they Will be
friends when they mention the story Of
that night when the Atlantic struck
Mars Head. Well, my friends, our
world has gone into a worse shipwreck.
Sin drove 1t on the rocks. The old ship

Of six thousand years. Out with the

We must be.

And part are crossing now.
