FOR THE ARCH OF STATES Plan Becomes Vor ? Popular as it is Bettor Understood. ( VESTERN GOVERNORS TAKE UP THE IDEA Kach Slnlo t < I'nrllrlpntr In ( lip Krrc- 11 ini of n I'IT in nil cut SlriiKtnru ( a C.'niiiiiH'inornlf ! ( ho Urcnt Kxpiivlllon. Dispatches In the newspspers from the various capitals ot the transmlfutaxlppl states Indicate that the governors ol these statca are tak'cit ; up the request of Governor Hoi- comb that each state contribute one courseof stone for the Arch of States , which Is to form the main entrance to the exposition grounds. The desire of the exposition m n- ogcment la to make this arch a permanent structure , wlilch phall rcm-iln for all time as n memorial of the exposition and a monument typical of the transmlsslsslppl states , located at the gateway of the vast region lying toward the netting sun. At the request of the executive committee of the exposition Governor Holcomb has requested each state and territory In the transmlssltBlppl region , through Its chief cxorutlvo , to furnish a small quantity of building stone , sufficient for one courss , to form a part of thla arch. The design , for this arch shows a handsome nnd Imposing structure of pleasing proper tions. It la designed to spin the Twentieth street boulevard at the main entrance of the exposition grounds , The arch Is to be about seventy feet la width an * about ninety feet In height. A high arched passageway will afford ample room for entrance of the crowds which will throng the grounds and will at- ford plenty of BPJCO for the passage ot vehicles aftur the arch sh > ill have performed Us function ns an exposition gateway and become a monument ot western progrww. The striking feature ot the arch will be the decoration of the frieze and It Is this which gives the arch Its name ot Arch of the States. The frieze will 'be finished In Moorish design wilh n number of superimposed archci-j. In each of the niches thus afforded will be placed a seal of ono of the transmls- slselppl states or territories , the seals or coats-of-arms executed In the - - being proper colors. Above the cornice Is shown , a large coat-of arms of the United States , sur mounted by an Immense eagle holding In Its tulcns the ollvo branch and bunch ot arrows. RHQ'JIRKl ) OK THU STATES. The letter sent by Governor Holcornb to thn governor of each tratismHsslsslppl state asks the atato to furnish s'er.ie sulllcicnt for OIQ course In this arch , and requests tlut samples ot the building stone quarried It : each state bo sent to the archltccts-ln-chlef of .the exposition that they may Indicate which variety was most acceptable In order that the harmony of color might be pre served. While sufficient time has not elapsed for replies to bo received , It Is evident from articles appearing In the newspapers pub lished at the state capitals and from tele graphic dispatches from those points that the governors are taking an active 'Interest In the m > iittcr. Several of them have requested the : crjo quntrlcs In their states to at cnco submit samples of stone to them for trans mission to Omaha as requested and It lo probable that favorable responses to the re quest cf the governor will soon be received. . 'Manager ' Roscwatcr of the Department of Publicity and Promotion has been especially nctlvo in urging this means ot securing a permanent memento of the exposition and appeared before the Nebraska Exposition commission to urge tlut body to supply the foundation nnd first course of the Arch of SMtea ai which the other states might crce : the balance of Iho structure. "There la a great variety of building stone quarried In many of the transnilsslsslppi states , " said Mr. Rosowatcr , In discussing this matter , "and there are few of them which do not produce any stone. Some of them have a dozen or more different kinds , and It would bo an easy matter to ao'.cct ' vari eties which will harmonize In color and make a structure which will bo pleasing to the eye. lA very email quantity of stone will he required from each Gtato so that the task ot supplying the stone will not be a burden on any of them , and the exposition management will supply all the finishing touches , besides doing the work of constructing the arch. "My Idea would be to make this arch a memorial arch In every eense. The courses of stone and the coats-of-arms will accom plish this to a considerable degree , but I shall advocate the placing of stone tablets on either side of the archway and cutting Into these the names of the governor , state officers and expedition commission of each state , thereby making It a lasting monument of the transmlsslsslppl region and of the year of the great exposition of the magnificent re sources of that section.

Superintendent Pcarso la continually re ceiving letters from prominent educators which endorse the plan , of holding a Trans- inlsslsslppl Educational congress In connec tion with the exposition. Out of twenty-live communications received up to date only two are opposed to the enterprise. Two moro give it a cautious approval , and the remainder are enthusiastic in their expressions of approval and co-operation. This result Is regarded as the most encouraging that could possibly be expected , nnd Indicates that the loading educators caters of Iho country can be depended on to glvo their active support to the enterprise. Aside from Individual opinions , the leadIng - Ing educational organizations of the west are also getting Into Hue. The Nebraska State Teachers' association gave the scheme all possible Impetus at Its meeting , held at Lin coln last week , and Superintendent Pearso has received copies of similar resolutions which have been adopted by ( ho state asso ciations of Minnesota , Iowa and Kansas. These are the three most powerful state asso ciations of the west , and there Is little ques tion of securing the co-operation of the other transrulsslsslppl states. 'Siv l I'linlilimr Uie Cnrnlvnl.

No other con clusion can b reached from the fact that the city of Houston a few days ago came to tlu conclusion that Vlco President Johnson from Texas would have enough to do to see that the rest ot the state Is prcoerly repre sented and therefore secured a vice pres ident ot Its own. The matter was consldeied at a merlins held under the auspices of the Houston Hus- iness league , at which Vice President John son was present. Aftei the matter had been talked over lien A. Hlesner of Houston was elected district vice president for the Kirst senatorial district ct Texas. In which Houston U located. The election was ct once confirmed by Vice President Johnson. The Interest In the exposition which is now prevalent lu Texas was chiefly aroused throush the recent visit or the Heal Estate exchange to Houston , Galveston and other cities in that and neighboring states. .Slirrivooil Accepts. William II. Sherwood , the pianist and com poser , has accepted the position tendered him en the committee , of which Homer Moore is chairman , for the organlratlon of a National CcniKrcss of Musicians to bo held In this city during the progress of the exposition. -Mr. Sherwood Is a resident of Chicago and will represent the Interests of that city and vicinity In formulating ptaos for the congresa and In their fulfillment next summer.

Governor Roger Wolcott of Massachusetts writes to President Wattles In reply to a letter requesting him to appoint a Massa chusetts commission to sec that the state Is represented at the exposition. Ho saya ho has no power to appoint commissioners without special authority from the legisla ture , but says It Is tils intention to call the attention of the legislature to the matter at Its approaching session and request it to take action in the matter. AMUSEMENTS. A very acceptable company opcncl a short engagement last night at Boyd's in "The Pris oner of Zenda. " Sir. 'Edward ' Rose's dama- tlzation of LVntftaiy Hope's stirring romance has been seen in , Omaha before and neither book nor play calls for extended review at this time. The company will average with that whUSi presented the piece last year , In some respects being better. In others not eo good. Howard Gould Is still the Rassendyll and makes , us before , an excellent Impression for manKocuj and sincerity. He has not rid himself , hcwcver , ot .tie tendency to Intro duce farce comedy methods Into the manage ment of 'tho coronation scale at Strcts > iii. Ho should remember that a man who is in Imminent and deadly peril is not likely to wok ! nnd grin at his confederates at crucial moments and I 'hat ' a student of a German university lu not upt to Etumblo grotesquely over the pronunciation ot German proper names. Such expedients get a laugh from the easily amused , but they can net fall , In view of the general goo&ioss of iMr. Gould's performance , to make the judicious grieve. Hewell deserved , however , the half dozen recalls ho got after -the third act last night. Colonel iSupt io finely played tha ! season by tliat rlpo old actor , H. 'F.

The women ot Omaha picked Crelghton theater from pit to dome yesterday after noon. At 2 o'clock , when the dcors to the house \voro opened , the sidewalk adjacent to the entrance was packed with women , crowd ing and elbowing one another to gain some- point of supposed vantage. They came from all scct'ons of the town and represented every 'walk of life , but all were animated by nun desire to learn how to > bc 'beautiful. Mme. Yale , the most celebrated woman of modern times , the 'woman who Is recognized among women as their b3t friend and ad viser , had given notice that she would de liver ono of her "beauty lectures" to the women ot Omaha jestcrday afternoon , and It was to hear her 'tell ' the secret of her perennial beauty and sec for themselves that the system she extols will produce the result she claims that the women fiirtd every seat In the house and listened most Intently to every word that fell from her lips. Promptly at the hour announced for the curtain to rise the opening atralns ot a lively quickstep announced that the performance was about to begin and every woman In the house waited with bated breath for the madam to appear. Those who had opera glasses leveled them at the stage and a chorus of suppressed "ohs ! " ani "ahs ! " swept from pit to dome as a shadow fell across the open docnvay at the rear of the stage and the lecturer appeared. The women saw \vomati of about the average height , apparently about 27 years of ago , with golden hair hanging In graceful waves about the aide of her shapely head and forming a knot which rested at the .back of a neck as white and round as a column of alabaster. A white satin gown , cut decollete , and fastened with a girdle of silver un-er the arms , revealed a form moulded on thet model of the famous figure of Venus. With a step as light and graceful as a fawn she descended the stage till near ithe footlights and commenced her lecture without ceremony. She spokfl la a rather low , well modulated lone which was plainly heard In every part of the house. Frcm Ilrst to laat ner talk was an i.upeal to the common sense of nor hearers. TMure were very few references to the remedies which the lecturer bis formulated for tlie re lief of suffering womankind , experimenting on herself to discover their effect , and giving her sex tuo result of her Investigations Into thu secret of beauty. The theme of her talk was the declaration that It rested In tao power ot every woman to be beautiful and the key to success was deslared to be correct living and the exercise of patience and per advised to devote severance. The women were vote as much time as possible to the study of their bodies cad the method of keeping them In a healthy condition , by gentle ex ercise. The lecturer asserted that If.this ad vice was followed nothing within reason Is Impossible. lime. Yale said she had experienced years of lll-'health mid had tried all kinds of surgical and medical treatment with no bene fit snd had at last been drlvon to take l'O the matter for herself. She said she had evolved a method toy which any woman could retain her youth or regain It If she so desired. She said that If she herself , "a woman of 45 or 4G years ot age , " could make herself look like she 'did when she wts a girl , there was no reason why any other woman could not do the same thing , and she eald she would undertake 'to cure any woman of her ailments and restore her ap- poirancu If the patient would follow the in structions given her. SIMPLE RULES FOR LIVING. Tao speaker then gave her hearers a few simple rules of living , which , she said would , ot themselves , make a great change It fol lowed. She advised the plentiful use of water as a drink and the eating ot nutritious foods. i.Vbovo all other things , the speaker advised against the wearing of corsets. She spoke at scmo length upco the evil results which fol low the use of this Instrument of tcruiro and advised all of her hearers to reject Its USi ? . One section of the lecture- was devoted to the face and Mme. Yale declared that 'there Is no necessity fcr sunken cheeks or for wrinkles In the face. She said time and perseverance - severance In the use of a proper system , of manipulating the facl'il muscles would , re move all such defects. Above all things ehe cautioned the women not to worry , but to do the best 'they could and rely upon a higher Power to bring all about In duo tlme.- After treating somewhat In detail of the many troubles to wlilch women are sup posed to be peculiarly liable the * speaker an nounced that she would show her audience some of the exercises she usej to keep the various muscles of the body In proper trim and to overcome these ailments. She retired and returned In a few moments attired' ' in a short Roman tunic of white and silver and wearing lavender tights. As she stepped to the front of the stage her graceful walk brought Into prominence the shapely contour o a perfect female form. There was no restraint , but every muscle showed Its proper development and the carriage was light and graceful to a degree. The madam then showed liar audience a number of gracsful movements ot the body and limbs , bringing Into even greater prom inence the perfect curves and beautiful sym metry' of a figure such as any woman might well envy. Suppressed commendations of ad miration were heard on all sldcvj as the evolutions lutions were performed and applause was fre quent and hearty. This section of the lec ture ended with a spirited lesson In walking In which the lecturer cave amusing Illus trations of Improper methoda of walking and showed the advantages of the correct method , Retiring again , the speaker next appeared in an evening sown of red silk trimmed with white satin and having a front of whits and gold. For a few momenta the madam spoke of thebanoBts ot massage for the face to prevent or remove wrinkles and hollonn , advising gcntlo manipulation of the facial muscles with the tips of the fingers. In closing she advised her hearers to bo patient and not to expect to accomplish wonderful results in a few days or weeks , or oven months. Uciforo dismissing the audience the lec turer announced thet eho would deliver another lecture to the women ut the Crelgh- ton this afternoon nnd would return again lu the spring for the same purpose.

RESULT OF A ROW IN A SALOON Yoiinir Kni'incps Engncre I" a Quarrel , .IVUU'li Hi-MiiltH In WoiiiiilliiK of Olio anil Arrest > Hie , Otlirr. , i John Williams , a Danish farmer living three miles northwest of Florence , was shot In the mouth yesterday afternoon by Sam Rawllns In the saloon of Julius Peterson , at Twenty-second and Cumlng , and is seriously hurt , ttawltns Is employed hy a neighboring farmer and claims that ho shot lu self- dcfenso. The young men had both spent the day in the city and had been drinking. They were taking a stirrup cup In the saloon pre paratory to hitching up and returning homo when the encounter occurred. Rawllns1 ac count Is that he was standing at the bar when the Injured man entered with hla brother and another man. Ho says there had been 111-fccllng between them for some time , and that the Williams brothers were particularly Incensed because ho had re cently caused their arrest on the charge of stealing his harneas. As soon aa the Williams boys saw him , Rawllns says , they approached lilm in a hostile manner and cursed him for causing their arrest. Rawllna retreated around a billiard table and warned thorn to keep away. He saya that John Williams was Iho moro aggressive and seized him by the shoulder In spite of the warning , telling hln ! to shoot if ho dared. The other man ad vanced also and Hawllna drew hla revolver and fired. The ball entered Williams' upper lip and lodged somewhere In the roof of the mouth where It has not been located. Ono of the men In. the saloon ran out and told Officer Klssane that a man had been chot. rtp.wlins gave himself up to the officer and admitted that bo had fired the shot. He was charged with shooting with Intent to kill. kill.Rawllns' Rawllns' story Is verified by Ray Denning , an employe ot the saloon , who gays that Williams had grasped Rawllns by the collar and that the latter had warned him to keep away , Williams refused to make a statement , but h'a ' friends say ho han been the victim of a persistent persecution. They bellevo that the rcHijon for this la that Williams married , under rather romantic circum stances a few months .ago against the will of I'eter Root , the slri'a father. Root Is a farmer living near 'Klorcnco and Rawllna Is In his employ. The < .young . couple wore obliged to contract tlialn marriage by stealth and slnco then It U aaportod that Root's hired man 1ms been commissioned to got the young husband into all possible ocrapes. Wllllnme' friends think that the arrest for the theft of the harness was inorolv in ulvn Williams annoyance ) and they bellevo the leat attack was Intended to complete the work.

J At the rooma ot the Young Womens1 Christian nssoclatlon last night there was a very merry niitherln-ji of nbout 150 member * and Kiiesta to take part In nn "athletic" entertainment.Vhllo the affair la not not able for any great achievement of xtrength , endurance or agility , It was for the quan tity and quality of entertainment. Several different Horta of fun was ulforJed and eagerly joined In by the younj ; women their guests , who entered Into the spirit o the aft'nir. The formal part of the pro gram consisted In dumbell and barbell drills , marching and some fancy and comic evolutions by the classes. The Informal part was ns delightfully Informal as any thing could be where all were out for a good time. / MILITARY AFFAIRS. The secretary of war has , at the suggestion of the quartermaster general of the army , decided to adopt drab aa the color ot all can vas clothing and material used in the army. This change in color will apply to tents , legglns worn by enlisted men , all canvas clothing and equipage and will correspond with the blanket bag Issued by the ordnance department. The adoption of this color is a radical and Important departure and was made only af'er thorough tests. Prior to the adoption of the drab tent the- quarter master general received reports ifrom forty officers In the Department of the East. j Nearly all of the reports were favorable , the i only objections advanced being from oftlccrs who btJlevo the color of the tentage excludes the light. It was represented that on dark j days , when the tent is closed , that It Is dlftl- I cult to read or write in the Interior. In order I to investigate this point a drab tent was erected at the quartermaster's depot In Pbll- { adclphla and a number ot trials made on i dark days. Some of the officers who reported on the new color tent proposed even a darker shade than the ono adopted. This change In the- color of the canvas equipage and clothing will require the dying I of a largo quantity of cotton duck and te-ul- j age to the new color. The cotton duck to bo , dyed Includes 34.000 yards of twelve ounce ! and 24,000 yards of eight ounce material. About 80,000 shelter tent halves will also i bo dyed. All this work will bo done by cou- I tract. I A drab colored' tent cannot , It Is claimed , ! -when placed In ordinary surroundings be I seen for any great distance. This was one I of the principal arguments used In presentIng - Ing the case to the secretary of war. A new and Ingenious collar attachment has been adopted by the quartermaster general - ; oral of the army to bo worn on the drcos coats ot enlisted men. For som& time a i great deal of diniculty has been experienced < In afllxtng the stiff , thick linen collars to the coat collar. This has usually been done by the dextrous and uncertain use of pins , resulting In an adjustment which was cum bersome and unaaUafaetory. Captain W. F. Spurgin , the well known treasurer at the West Point Military academy has Invented a simple device which Is attached to the I coat collars which holds the linen collar llrmljt at tlui desired height. The cadets at West Point have been using the device for seine time and have found It so satlsfac- lory that It will hereafter bo 'used on all enlisted men's coats. In connection with coats , collars , otc. . It Is stated that the quartermaster general lias decided to attach coat hangers to the over coats and blouses of the enlisted men of the army. For the overcoats 10,000 white metal chains will bo purchased , while about 45,000 yards ot mohair braid will bo used for the blouse hangers. In f.7 > c-aklnf ; of the recent changes In the artillery service the Army and Navy Reg's- ter of rccsnt date si > s : "The artillery of the United Steles Is In a stage of transition. It Is not changing Ilko the oft cltoJ chrysalis , from the Industrious grub to the Idle frolle- Boino butterfly ; qulto the reverse being the 01 so. The beautiful parade artilleryman , with his whlto gloves and brightly polished brasjEfl , Is developing into the grimy , oll- Baturated , hard-working fortress defender. The grassy blope of Governor's Island and the I'resldlo of Saa Francisco already ml.is his martial tread end the reaches of Sandy Hook and Point Hondo will soon claim him as their own. Whllo in the future the life of the artilleryman will bo far from easy , It will , nevertheless , bo full of Interest. Ho Is rapidly being transformed Into a mechanical onglnicr ; the problem tbit he will bo called upra to solve requiring the highest scientific attainment * . Kor years every annual re port of the commanding general of the army has recommended an Increase of the artil lery , but the Increase lias not como yet , When It does como , as U certainly must very soon , It will probably provide for caly two additional regiments. Thin country will never support a corps ot GO.OOO aeacoiat de fenders uny moro than It will maintain a standing army of 600,000 Infantry , I3y direction of the secretary of war the following acaual expenditure' of blank caliber 30-100 ammunition will hereafter be authorized in the Instruction and practice firing of enlisted men of the army : For each troop of oivalry and company of Infantry en amount not to oxoeed 4,000 rourrJs. For each battery of heavy artillery an. amount not to exceed 2,000 rounds. Each band , armed with ride or carbine , ono half the al lowance of the troop , company or 'battery. For schools of Instruction the following ex tra annual expenditure is authorized : In- 'fantry ' acd cavalry school , not to exceed 10- 000 rounds. Cavalry and light artillery schools , not to exceed 32,000 rounds. Quartermaster General Wceka has recom mended the adoption of a new typo , of shoo for the army and the recommendation hcs been adopted by the War department. This new style shoo baa been , tested at various posts during the last two or three months and has proved very satisfactory. These shoo ? will be bought under contract at the quartermaster's depot in Philadelphia and added to the stock to nil out depleted sizes. The new shoo will be gradually added to the supplies and eventually Issuc-J regularly to the service. It Is understood that there will bo Issued shortly from the adjutant general's olilce a list of question. ? pertaining to army regula tions. These questions have been prepared by a promlnecit line ofllcer 'Who 5us Mad long experience with troops. Tfto pamphlet will form part of the act of questions furnished to eaah examining board for determining Iho fitness of oincers fcr promotion , but an excep tion will bo mode In this instance and 'the ' usual rule cf secrecy departed from. These questions will bo furnished to all officers who are required to undergo examination In administration. It Is thought that the plac ing of questions to the ihnuis of officers will have the effect of Inducing a general and moro comprehensive studw cf regulations than has been usual In the fast. AVhlpplo barracks In Arizona are to bo abandoned lit the spring. General ( Miles has recommended to the secretary of war that the two companies of Inf-ntry now on duty there bo transferred. Governor McCorJ ha.s pro tested against the removal of the troops from this post , but it Is understood that tbo bar racks will bo abandoned In spllo of the pro- testa. The report that the army was scon lo chtogo the style of Its dress milform has been denied by the 'War ' department. Whllu It Is true tb t General ' .Mllc.s has r vcn the subject of a change In uniform considerable thought tad has conalderel a largo number ot suggestions , no iconcluslon wia been reached up to the present time. It Is reported In official circles that Secre tary lA'lger will shortly tesuo an .order . which thall define thu relation ! between officers and the enlisted force. The secretary has given iHich attention to Hie subject lately and lias liad researches made of the old records in the adjutant ireneril's office for the purpose of obtaining suggestions.
