INTERESTING COUNTRIES ARE VISITED Mr. Milliliter Mnkea Material nnd Valunlili AddlUoim to Ilia Art Col lection Intercut InK IlrvlcTT of the Tour. After a .tour qt ten months, mado In a lolniirely manner through tho most his-' torlo and Interesting sections of tho Orient, Mr. and Mrs. 0. W. Unlnger and their granddaughter, Mlns Mnrlan Hal I or, re turned to Omaha yesterday morning. Since they left Omaha, tho first of last August, they hsvo enjoyed the delights of climate, scenery, associations and historic mcmorlos of England, Germany, Italy, Egypt and the' Holy Land. They have Journeyed by easy' stages from placeto place, resting by the way as long as their comfort required or the enjoyment of tholr environments sug gested. They relumed to Omaha In tho very best of health arid spirits that attest tholr great enjoyment of their trip, Tholr roturn trip across tho Atlantic was mado In tho North German Lloyd steam ship Wllholm dor Grosser, nnd.among their fellow pessengers was Admiral Schley, with whom they becamo well acquainted and who expressed to thorn frequently tho pleas- nnt recollections no enieriaws oi ins trip to Omuha two years ago. They landed In SHE QUIT. Hut It n n llnril T'till. It la bard to bollevo that coffee will put a person In xtich n condition as It did Mrs E. 8. Brown of Apple Creek, O. Sho tells hor own story, "I did not believe coffee caused ray trou ble, and frequently said 1 liked It so well I would not, nor could not quit drinking It, even If It, took my life, but I was a miser able sufferer from heart trouble and nerv ous prostration lor lour years, I was scarcoly able to bo around at all. Had no energy and did not enre for anything. Was umaclated and had a constant pain around my heart until I thought I could uot endure It. i-For months I never went' to bed ex peotlng to get up in the' morning. I felt as though I was liable to die any tlroo during tho night. Frequently I hnd nervous chills and tho least excitement would drive sleep away, nndrnny, llttlo nolso would upset me ter ribly, Twas gradually getting worse until finally ono time It canie over me and I asked myself what Is tho use of being sick all the time and buying medicine so that I could Indulge mytelf In coffeo? So I thought I would see If I could quit drinking coffee and got some I'ostum Food to' help mo quit. I made It strictly ac cording to tho directions and I want to tell you that change was tho greatest stop In ni)i life, It was easy to quit coffeo because I had thp Posture, whjch I like better than I like the old coffee. Ono by one the old troubles left, until now I am In splendid health, nerves steady, heart all right and tho pain all gone. Never have any more nervous chills, don't take any medicine, can do all my housework and have done a great deal beside. My 'slster-ln-law, who visited mo tbts summer,, had been nn Invalid for some time much as I was, I got b-T to quit coffeo and drink Postum. She led five pounds In thro weeks, and I never saw- such a change In anyone's health. Anyone by writ ing ma can receive verification of these statements." New York May 21. after a pleasant ocean voyage, and had It not been that It en countered a fog near the termination of the trip their vessel would have beaten tne record for transatlantic speed. iney hardly stopped after reaching the American shores until they landed at tneir umana home, Mr. F. L. Hallcr, Mr. Lininger s son- in-law, meeting them in Chicago. Finds Kanillr Tree. "Upon leaving home last August," said Mr. Lininger In discussing his long absenco this morning, "wo went to Paris and spent two weeks very pleasantly In enjoyment of the exposition and Interesting sights and localities in and near the French metropo lis. Then we spent two months In Ger many. 'NVhllo thoro I put In. a grcnt deal of tlmo In. looking up my family genealogy and met with remarkable success In trac ing my family history back' as far as the year 1000, securing all of the needed docu ments for the construction of the family tree. I found that the family was one of prominence and pronounced respectability In early German history: that ono of Its members generations since was a duke and that there is a castle on the upper Rhino that is still known as Lininger castle. "While In Gormany wo visited Berlin, Krankfort-on-tbe-Maln and other cities and did not miss the opportunity or' witnessing the passion play at Oberammergau. I was miich Impressed with tho evidences of modern progreBslvenesB everywhere mani fest In Germany nnd the changes that have taken place In the last twenty years. American Ideas seem to haVo takon hold of the people of Germany and the cities nro enjoying a veritably boom. Omaha Is not In it with many of thorn. This is es pecially the case In Berlin. I noticed even greator progress when I reached Buda Pcsth, where whole streets are .being opened up and flanked with long rows of new buildings of modern architecture. This Is being done largely by foreign capi tal, In which American capital takes a prominent place. I noticed especially that tho New York Llfo Insurance company Is Interested In some of the Investments, Quaint Old Constantinople. "From there we went to Constantinople for two weeks. There we began to encoun ter decay that was In strange contrast with tho progresslveness found In other portions of Europe. There Is no prosperity there. Constantinople has lost its once proud char acteristic as the cosmopolitan city of the world. From there we went to Smyrna, whence we went to pass an Interesting day In viewing the ruins of Ephcsus. neyroot wns our next stopping point for abput a week, from which point' we enjoyed excur sions to surrounding points of Interest, among them the city of Damascus, tho pur est oriental city In the world. This city has never been destroyed, nnd Is practically now what It was In Christ's time. When In that section of Syria we also visited Baal bfc, one of the most Interesting ruined towns, the naalath of scripture and the Hellopolls of tho Greeks, both of which names mean 'the City of the Sun.' Hera are found the ruins of three ancient temples, one of which Is one of the wonders of the world. Thjs city was built by King Solo mon. There Is a modern village there built up near the ruins., which are magnificent. "From Beyroot we went to Joffa, the sea port through which. Jerusalem is reached by rail. When 1 visited that section twenty years ago. wo went from Jalfa to Jeruialem by private conveyance, but the trip Is now made by rail. The visit of the German emperor to that section two years ago was the means of supplying that section with good roads, which wero made for the convenience of his tour. Chnnftca lit Jeruaalem. "I am very glad that I was able to' see Jerusalem twenty years ago, for great changfcs have been wrought there which item almost like destcratloo. They have built a modern city outside of the walls, and even liiEide they haVe torn away jnany interesting relics of antiquity and sup planted them with new and modern utiuc tures. Another change I noticed with ie gret was that all of the sacred spots are made tbo centers of catch-penny enter prises and tho visitor is charged small fees to inspect them. Every man who makes an excavation for a new building discovers something of alleged historic or sacred In terest and for an Inspection of which he at once begins exacting a fee. The doubt ful enterprise of some of these spcculatlvo individuals Is decidedly confusing to the unstudied visitor, but having studied the locality before spoliation began, I encoun tered little embarrassment from It. "Returning to Jaffa, we wont by boat to Port Said, Egypt, and from there by- rail to Cairo, where we remained for ten weeks. It was while In tho latter city and vicinity that I made the greater part of the collec tion for tbo library. While there I had an artist paint a frieze, which will be hung iu the Egyptian room in the library. It Is an exact reproduction of ono found on one of the tombs, even to tho vivid coloring which Is still retained by tho original. rr : difficult to remove works.- of tho masters from Italy, and tho same difficulty was en countered In shipping mummies and other curios from Egypt, but there are ways to do It and Mr. Lininger found them. Probably tho most Interesting art acqui sition by Mr. Lininger during his absenco s tho eclcbrnted picture by Hougucreau, 'Tho Return of Spring," or "Tho Awaken- ng of Spring." which ho purchased whllo In London. It will bo recalled to tbo momory of non-artlstlc Omaha people as tho painting through which Carey Judson Warblnton was prompted to hurl a chair about ten yeurs ago while It was on ex hibition In Omaha, because, In his opinion. It violated his sense of lic proprieties. It wos shown at tho exposition here three years ago, at which time Mr. Lininger tried to buy it for $15,000. but tho owner asked $18,000. Whllo In London ho expressed to a dealer a wish to buy It nnd the next day tho dealer sent him word that ho knew whero It wns and that It was for salo. The plcturo was In Paris and a deal was at once concluded for Its removal permanently to Omaha. Ileal 'When in In Thla Country. placo tho collection will un doubtedly be the best In tho west. It In cludes hundreds of specimens of all klnd3 calculated to afford the student of ancient history a more or less accurate knowledge of the people of Egypt, tho personal ap P?araucc, dress, works of art and customs under the changing dynasties during n period of -1,000 years. I shipped flvo tons of it from Cairo, which is now in bond at tho custom house here awaiting my com ing. Don't ask me what it represents In dollars, for I do not care to discuss It in that light. It's valuo consists only of its usefulness for educational purposes. know that peoplo too often weigh such things by their cost In dollars and cents, and I can tell you that I put a wholo lot of money into It. "There aro four mummies in the collec lion, cacn or which is accompanied by a history of tho personage whose outward semblance In Its actual self Is thus trans mltted to us. One of them existed as long as 3,200 years ugo. Every article In the collection, when placed, will be nccom panted by a concise statement of what It is and what Is Its significance. It will take several months to put It In place, which must bo done by persons familiar with Egyptian history and antiquities. The edu catton.il Idea was my guide In making tho selections, and It will bo nrranged nnd ills piayea so mat u win anora tnu student a complete history of the early tribes of Egypt down to the present day. It com prises chiefly works of art, bronzes, statu ary, lamps, vessels, ornaments and articles of apparel. I secured one collection of 300 or 400 scarabea. The scarab was the sacred beetle, which was worn as an emblem of the god Khepcra, the maker of gods, typify Ing tho resurrection and new life of the world to come. Upon tho breasts of these Insects the Egyptian dlgnitsrlos were wont to Inscribe their coats of arms, after which they were worn ns ornaments, Some of them now in existence record the coats of arms of personages who existed 1,000 years ago. some oi tnom were used ns ornaments by royal person ages who trod the earth thousands of years ago. It was the custom when their owners were embalmed to re move the bowels and place these and other ornaments Inside the mummy, by which means they have been transmitted to pos. terlty." Mnny .eiv 1'letnrca. While In Italy Mr. Lininger collected great many valuable pictures, which will adorn a second room In the library, along with some which ho will supply from his collection at home. Among his acquis! tlons while In that country was a valuable Kubens. Owing to stringent laws it U RELICS OF SPANISH WAR uy II.
