Tho approach of spring makes tho subject of houscc.ennlng a most promlnont one. The gontlo housowlfa who has been comfortably nestled beside n cheorfull ftro all wlntor nnd njoyod tho comfort and onso of n luxurious home, almost shudders at tho thought of pro- paring for tho usual houso cleaning duties. Everything must lo attended to and to havo things tlono right tho femalo head of tho family, with an old house wrap, must needs personally BUorinteud tho work and arrange ments. And tho poor "drowntroddon hubby." After his day's work, hard toiling behind the counter or at tho desk comes to his meal to find that that suppor Is not ready, tho homo all torn up and life onco again did not pre sent tho cnviablo appouranco it does beforo tho wreck. Some husbands aro loss fortun ate than others, consequently tho unlucky dear oft time is called upon to glvo n helping hand at moving littlo things about tho houso, such as pianos, stoves otc. Of coutsohodoos not objoct to handling a stovepipo or putting it up, but tho expression of his countennuce gives plain evidence that no does not relish such enjoyment and wore his mind allowed to play in audible totios giving 8eech to what it thought, I opluo that tho air would bo rath er hazy around tho spot where ho stands, os ixxdnlly so, when joining plcs nnd getting lingers caught in the collision. Yen verily, married Ufa under such circumstances Is not exactly as tho poot describes it. It behoves our lovers of sport and outing to Ik) astir and to look up tho matter of Hold sport for the coming summer, which by the way is closo at hand. Asyetnodecislvemovo has been mado as to any iummer amusement and it certainly is high timo that something bo done To livo through another such sum mor as last would certainly prove a mouotous exlstauce. There was practically nothing at all to interest the ooplo and from present prospects tho same, order or things will again prevail tho coming season. Lincoln certainly is now largu enough to support n good ball team and I (Irmly bcllovo that with proer efforts Nebraska's capital city can yet put a club In tho field that will do honor to tho city and furnish a high order of entertainment for our lovers of the national game. Lincoln is much larger now than when we had tho club two years ago and undoubtedly a team this year would meet with good success, esKolalIy so slnco Llncolnltes havo observed that lis neighbors in Omaha, 8t. Joseph, etc,, wrro all enjoying the sirart, while we, without nny outdoor nmuseir.otit whatever had to bo con tent to sit at home nnd read tho news. I am informed that with proper clfort we can gain admission to one of tho leagues, but it will take hard work and n concerted will. Let tho good work go on and glvo us something to livo for in Lincoln this summer. A very pithy nnd interesting Washington letter from tho Couhieh'h correspondent Mr. Walter Welhnan, ono of tho very best writ ers at the national capital, appears today on our second pago. It is ropleto with latest gos sipy news ubout. tho now udministrntlou and will bo entertaining not only to our male readers, but to the dear ladles ns well. On tho same Mge will bo found n spicy letter from Mr. E. Jay Edwards our New York correspondent entitled "Then but an Onlook er.

Then ou pago three wo present Dr. Tnlmage's last sermon, which in giving Americans a few sound suggestions, will meet with approval of every sonsiblo reader. So many requests havo been mado ou us ot late to publish that beautiful comiMjsl tion "Tho Russian National Hymn," that we present It in our music department today This piece has liven made famous throughout America by Ollmores military band, who has played it everywhere for several years ust and always received immense enchores. As this n short pkco and not wishing to glvo our musical friends less than the usual quota, we publish two pieces the second being a beauti ful I'olka by (hilbarrtx entitled "Tendresso."

E Heemnn at tho head ot it, n truly fitting mini to assist Mr. Downing, "Tint Olaillntor" Is stierbly mount-si and much good aud ii'ullstlo scenery Is und with good effect, tho Arena scene in particular attracting much attention. Truly it must lw said McCollough's masterpiece has fallen into good handc JAM. O'NKILL IN "MONTH CHIHTO" Although he has many rivals there Is but ono Edmund Dautes and that Is Jas. O'Neill. Already a favorite in Lincoln ho needs no In troduction as a new star or ono with n new piece. Notwithstanding the fact that he has successf uly produced other plays ho can never put on ono that is better liked than Monte Crlsto. Ho was seen at tho Funk.) mi Tues day evening by n delighted nudlenco nnd one that appreciated all hu done for them. Strange to say his suprt differs but littlo from that ho had with him a year ago and tho company Is the same strong ono ho usually curries. A carload of magnificent scenery and cnlculm lights render tho play u scenic as well as a dramatic success. Tho great ocean scene, tho exterior of tho Chateau D'lf, Is truly a great ono nnd when Dautes baffles thu waves aud reached tho rocks In safety In n terrific rainstorm the climax of modern stago settings in reached.

The company which support her Is above criticism nnd faultlessly accompanied her in the rendition of tho dramatization of Sir Wulter Scott's tnlo of Guy Mnimcrlng. Juuauschek us Meg is wonderful, her every move uud notion thrills thu nudlenco nnd they follow her through the play with their minds on Meg, the witch, aud not Junnuschek. Sho seouis to them tho aid withered hug In reality aud thoy Impulsively hold their breath during the rendition of her dllllcult nnd trag ic lilies until sho has finished, when they break forth as ono body Into rapturous applause.

Tho cust Is a long ono some twenty well known pertvons being seen in it headed by lottlo Church who lias lllled tho title lolo since thu piece wus first put ou in thiscoiintry last fall, this being its llrst season out. The story of the play is that of n good girl who is riupori by n vllllan for her fortune nnd nftorwnrds confined lu a mad house and shamefully nlnu el. Tho plot Is n thrilling one nud In IU de velopment ono exciting situation follows no rapidly U)ii the heel of nuother that It Is lm)Owillilo for tho play to drag, Among tho scetiM prcnentcri tho following nro tho most proiiiinout: Piccadilly, tho celebrated tril lion thouroughfarn Illuminated, showing Hyrio Park Corners, with Its magnificent club houses.
