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.

Toxatu have apparently become thoroughly
convinced that the coming expedition lu this
city will bo a big thing. 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. Mr.
Eiicrwood gave a recital In this city a few
weeko ago and Was accorded an enthusiastic
rectutlon. , J , . >

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.

tliat rlpo old actor , H. 'F. McClannlo , and

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. The wound Is .not thought to bo dan-
geroua. The preliminary . hearing of tbo case
will occur this mornlnjr ,

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.
