To maintain this high standanl is tne cons mm. of the publlsller, nnd that the ef fort Is rewarded Is amply attested by the Increasing popularity of The Illustrated Hee. The forthcoming Issue will be found quite fit to be placed alongside Its predecessors. l'or n frontispiece a picture of Hon. Benjamin S. Baker Is pre sented. This well-known Inwyer and Jurist has risen to considerable eminence In Nebraska, and bis fame Is no longer bounded by local metes. His recent appointment to a position on the bench of New Mexico, where he advanced to the dignity nttnohod to the position of assoclatu Judge of the supreme court of the territory, Is a recogni tion of Ills ability by the president. A handsome picture of his amiable anil accomplished wife Is also pub lished, and a well written sketch of his busy and successful career. During tho days tho Nebraska Teachers' association was In ses sion at Lincoln a staff artist spent some time In securing photographs of the lenders In educational work In the state. A full page Is de voted to the reproduction of these, making a display that Is not only of Interest, but rcully valuable to the public ns well as tho tenchers. Sir Henry Irving nnd Miss Ellen Terry, two of the most prominent llgures on tho modem stage, spent four days In Omaha. During this time they went out much, shopping and visiting the points of Interest In the city. The Bee's artist se cured some excellent snap shots of this eminent pafr, from which Hue half-tone reproductions have been mude for Sunday's paper. Borneo's resources, people nnd material development afford n theme for Frank G. Carpenter tills week.

In New York 'there Is n hospital for birds, where feathered pets are given surgical nnd medlcnl treat ment by experts. This place, Is most luxuriously equipped and ex tensively patronized.
