With thtilmuo Mr. Frl BeiutlnRer, )nte of tho Omaha ftee, Iwcomes nmoclateil with the CouniKH n Its editor. Mr. HcnzliRcr jmlv llshcdtho Saturday EreninyChat, tlio society paper of Cedar Ilaplds, Iowa, In lu palmy days, when itwasonoof thehrigliest blossonm in tho pony garden of Hawkcyo journalism. He was tho 1M senate correiiK)deiit during tho late, unlamcntcd session of the Nebraska legislature, hut turns naturally from affairs of state to tho nmenltle of life. Mr. Dcnzingcr has gathered nn nf.sortmiMit of experience and reputation during a dozen years ient In newspaper work, and is ripo for one of those laudatory Introductions lu which the victim is slobbered nil over with gush and ct ceteras; but in this caso the suh ject regretfully declines to bore the public with his oditorlal edtgree, and ho stubbornly refuses to have his qualities, mental or moral, paraded like any common freak. However, the CoUHiEH can commend Mr. Denzlnger to tho icoplo of Lincoln as a gentle man and n young man worthy the fullest con fidence, and it bespeaks for him tho kindly courtesy and assistance of its friends in speed lly making tho acquaintance so necessary for successful newspnjer work. ' For itself tho CouniEit promises a constant ly improving paper. A generous patronage is tho best possible proof that it has been ap preciated in tho past, and tho cncagcmcnt of Mr. Ucnzlnger is an earnest of tho determina tion to expend money and energy in giving Lincoln the best journal of the kind in the west Apropos the subject of newspaper changes, Mr. Hovey Barrett of tho Omaha Herald bu reau resigned his place thlo week to take for tune by the forelock and compel her to his em brace. He is going to run up to Dakota and have n little round up of the many capitals-to-be, and when ho discovers tho king bee of the lot he will corral it. His scheme is double-barreled. He may jump into a real ostate spec up to his neck, or he may become ambitious and start the future great paper of the new state. In the latter case he will le backed by a Lincoln compatriot and a Dakota politician, and he takes an early spring start for the scene of the scrimmage in order to get the gun loadod-both barrels of it. Barrett is a graduate of the state university and a young fellow of more than a vera go ability and versatility. He stumbled into) newspap er work almost by accident, but lias duvelo ed a successful aptitude for it. He began about a year ago by relieving n schoolmate for a few days in tho Council Bluffs depart ment of au Omaha paer. This suggested a Lincoln bureau and overtures to the Herald were promptly responded to by the liuslnei-s manager. Barrett began the enterprise with out practical experience, but by rustling seventeen hours out of every twenty-four he has built up a business that satisfies his em ployers and be hav made a feature that finds favor with the publie. Success to Hovey wherever lie govs is the united wish of his fel low craftsmen. " At the time of writing Barrett's successor bad not been announced, but Mr. John D. LIddle, the HeraUVs solicitor, stands in the lino of promotion. Johnny has had exper ience with Iowa papers, and his personal qualities are too well known hero to need mention. In this connection it may be of general in terest to know that Col. Smith, who retort ed the senate for the Jotinin, is now acting as correspondent for the Omaha Krpuhlican. Col. Howe, former correspondet of tho lie publican, has become attached to the Journal htatT. V It is singular that after a man once gets a taste of office ho never knows when he has enough. Now thero Is Representative Sweet of Merrick county, the gentleman who achiev ed distinction in the recent unpleasantness by allowing himself to be held down in his seat while clamoring for a chance to change his vote and thereby defeat the resolution to buIh init a prohibition amendment to tho constitu tion. During the legislative session Mr. Sweet was suapoctcd of lending a willing ear to tho seductive hum of tho congressional bee. He K'oms to have "dropped" to tho elusiveness of that prize and is now chasing another will-o-the-wisp. Ho was in the city the other day on ids way to Beatrice to waylay Senator Paddock, but was disappointed at this stage of the journey by learning that that distin guished Nebraska!) was still bobbing about tho east, and mournfully took the back track. Speaking of politicians, tbore has been a deal of speculation as to Senator Frank Han som's motive in passing that now law requir ing lire insurance companies to pay the full amount expressed in tho policy In the case of a total loss. Ransom is credited with passing It lecause it would not liavo run tho gauntlet without his coaching and strategy. Ho not only in troduced tho bill but he put in several others to dlvldo the attention of tho Insurance peo plo, and he watched and lobbied his pet meas ure with persistent vigilance. One plausible explanation of his motive has been offerod. Twoyoarsago last fall Ran som was a candidate, for the Republican nomination for attorney-general. Ho had the covotod prize all but within his grasp whon Capt. rainier of I'latUmouth manipu lated tho Cass county delegation and nomi nated Qenoral Loeso. For some reason or otlior Capt. Palmer lias come to be recognized as tho head and front of tho insuranco power in Nebraska, and Senator Ransom is supposed to have thrown discredit upon the captain's omnipotence by proving that he had not buttoned tho state safely iu his panta pocket. Tho presumption Is that this will lower tho captain soveral pegs In tho estimation of hU employers nnd os sihly affect his jtocket lwnk. At any rato it is a sample of the article known as political revenge, and tho victim is upiotfd to take all tho bitterness homo to his own tongue. But tho lighting senator from Otoe did not stop at that. Palmer had what tho boys call "a snap' by getting tho Insuranco on the stato's buildings, which ho farmed' out, pre sumably In tho expectation of getting a hand somo commission on tho f.H),(KX) of premium. But Ransom helped to knock out the appro priation, and tho captain gets left. Such is politics. A wedding in which many Lincoln young pooplo will Imj interested, occurred nt Iowa City, Iown, on Wednesday. It celebrated tho union of Miss Addle Bloom of Iowa City, well and popularly known here, to Mr. Hlmon Fisher, n prosperous and prominent young man of Omaha. A special Pullman car was chartered lu which somo thirty Omaha friends and relatives traveled to tho brilliant scene, which took placo at the bride's homent llvo o'clock. Tho ceremony was performed in tho beautiful Jewish rites by Rabbi Ben sou of Omaha. The brldo woro n veil of white Illusion nnd n beautiful continue of whlto faille, with front of crepo lrlsse, em broidery of novelty gold. Tho gown was entrainoaud the corsage decollete.. The groom wore the conventional evening dress. At tho conclusion of tho ceremony and after a liberal shower of well wishes, the nowly made couple lead tho march to supper, which by tho way was one of the most elabor ate tho Observer has ever enjoyed. It was served in llvo courses, a dlfTeront wine finish ing each change. Thero was present none but Immediate friends nnd relatives of tho contracting ixirtics, but oven theso made quite n largo and brilliant assembly, among them being noticeable guests from Chicago, New York, Cincinnati, Sioux City, Omaha, Lincoln, Rock Island, Des Moines and other cities. To.eRrams wero received by the score, the total number reaching nearly throe hundred, and they woro road later in tliu evening. The presents wero numerous and many very elegant and elnlcrate. Few, however, wero sent to Iown City, most all being for warded to their future homo in Omaha. Among the glfta wero the following: A &00 check from the father and mother of tho bride; hanJsomo bed room set. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wse, Sioux City; Ed. Bloom, brothers ana sisters, cnecK ror :u; .Morltz Moyer, Omaha, check for $100; Adolph Meyer, Oma ha, check for $100; Sol. Bloom, Dead wood, check for IS5: Mr. and Mrs. M. Hellman. Omaha, large ebony and bronze clock; grand ma ami grandpa Wise silver sot; Max Meyer, parlor suit; employes of Max Meyer & Co., casket 01 silverware. The bride, who is a most charming and nccomplWied young lady of rare womanly graces and nffectlons, is tho second daughter of Ex-Senator Bloom. Both at homo nnd abroad she Is widely known, admired nnd beloved. Tho groom is one of Omaha's moht prominent young business men, being cashier of Max Meyer & Co's. jewelry house. Ho Is n gentleman of excellent habits, sound bus! net principles and withal most popular among his lurge clrclo of friend, being vice- pi-esiuout or tiio -Metropolitan Club of Omaha, The couplo are both brunettes and make n most attractive appearance. Tho slncerest wishes of their friends are that their lives may never Imj less happy than at present.. At nine o'clock Mr, and Mrs. Fisher left for Chicago, New oik and tho east on uu extended wedding tour. As thoy left the bride's homo rice was showered upon them, an old shoo followed, farewells nnd happy greetings were extended and the happy couple was lost in tho darkness driving to the runway station. V Lieut. Governor Meikeljohn was in tho city Thursday on his way to Crete to act as one of ttie judges at the state oratorical contest. The governor i in demand for judicial trusts of this kind, but kls most thrilling exerleneo was as one of tho Judges in a baby show at a county rair. une or the coueutlons of accept Ing the duty was that the Judges should be allowed to leavo tho fulr grounds liefore their decree was nnnounced. They awarded the palm of beauty to tho child of a Norwegian, and but peihaps you had better got tho gov ernor to tell the rest of the story, Hufllco it to say that ho escaped. V Senators Norvnl and Popo were in the cltv Thursday, the former to attend the supremo court nnu mo latter tor a day otr. Tlio How ard friends of Senator Norval, by tho way, have arranged for a complimentary reception to him noxt Monday evening. "Dick", as he was familiarly known among his colleacues. was ono of the triumvirate that swayed the senate and was one of the most jKiteut factors In recent legislation, besides being a whole- Bouled, companionablo man. Several sena tors expect to attend tho reception. V Amomr tho inanr clubs which imt-n (.... formed by society women to occupy their time during Lent, the favorite ones nro Bowl ing, Badminton and Athletic Associations. Badminton Is a delightful game, and tho players always And It extremely fascinating It is a cross between tennis nnd tho old fash ionodgame of battlodoro and shuttlecock. It is played over n net about twice as high as the tennis nets, nnd with battledoors mid shuttlecock. The trowm worn far Tt.-v.vii.,,,. and Badminton nro simplo skirts of flonnol or ensumere witn orignt gay blouses of India silk, beltod iu, and broad Boled. low lie1n.l shoes. Tea. lemonade and thin lirwul -! butter are tho only refreshmenta allowed. Thoathletlo exercises which have becomo Quite tho fashion now nro fnuml t iu. n., cellent rocujerat!on from tho strain upon nerves nnu inuscies which a tlireo-months' do votion to tho demands of society have n-A. lonod. Theso athletics take various farmu marchlne. dumb boll oxerr-liA. ?,,. .(.... and Indian clubs are tho favorites, although manv vounir women usa thn tmru,... ., vaulting bar with the greatest ease. This is au none, or course, tn a gymnastic dress, which consists of & Innir lr nf .I...L- .i. ings, a divided skirt, somewhat like full Turk- uu trousers, wmen tasieu at tue Juiee, low heeled, tan-colored pig skin shoos, nnd n lilnnse of surah, or lino Jcrsoy .webbing, with full sleeves and wldo turnover collar. Fenc ing Is also n favorlto pastime, but one must first go through gymnastic exerrlo lieforo learning to fence. Thero are musical club, and church club, and elocution clubs, nnd so the days of fasting and selfdoulul go on, with cheering visions, wo supjiose, of spring toil ettes nnd Easter festivities. V Lent l (oaring hard on Presbyterian girls they hnve invented n novel decoration for their dinners. This sH-cial ono wns to wel como n bride and groom who had just return ed from a protracted wedding tour. Iu tho center of the table was placet! n largo Benares glass lxtwl filled with yellow roses, which were surrounded with masses of dark green live oak sprays, nnd the dellcnto yellow green of the whlto oak's spi ing leaves. From tho Iwwl extended to each plate n broad yellow ribbon, to the end of which was fastened, by on nrrowdiended silver pin, n corsage bou quet of Mnrcchnl Nell roses nnd oak leaves. Iu the chandelier oak leaves nnd Marchal Nell rcn.es wero twined, and on tho yellow silk shndes of the candles oak leaves wero painted. The ribbons charmingly Intermingled lu it crlss cross, tho young gentleman's on tho op- MsIto side of tho table getting inextricably iiiterwiued with that of the girl on tho other side. The Intelligent guest soon found that tire roses meant affection and the oak lea res friendship, which some took advantage of In making light nnd airy conversation. Where the oak leaves woro obtained Is another ques tion. They aro boxed by florists in Jackson ville or SL Augustine, and if carefully ar ranged reach New York In a good stnto of preervatlon. V Rev.

This Is the second tiuiu IiOttn has tteon seen hero In "I'avynTI:ket210''but tho piece seems to hnvo.loat none of Its attractions since It was feu liep' last.

A year ngo Inst November it was produced at thu Porto St, Martin, Paris, before a tumultuous audi ence, which applauded Sarah Bernhardt' acting to tho echo, but refusal its author n call before tho curtain.
