COMMENTS AND OPINIONS IN TYPE. What U Heard, Seen, Learned and Perti nently StiKReited to the Multitude. Whllo In tho city tho other tiny Congressman Dorsoy told a characteristic story of tho Into Judge Weaver. It occurred at a spread given by Bcnntor Mnndcrson for a few mon friends. Tho Omahn senator lins Improved his oppor tunities to satnplo the good things of llfo nnd has como to coiuldor himself a bit of a connois seur of wines, terrapin and such dainties. Among Ids store of drinkables was sotno julco of grnpo grown in IS-i 1, and In praiilng tho prospective treat ono of tho gentlemen told Judge Weaver of tho age of tho wine, nnd nddsd tho information that it was worth six or eight dollars a bottle. At tho table tho judge, who wns a mnn of simplo tastes, took ono sip from his glass, pnused, held It up to tho light and oyod it critically. Turning to Senator Manderson ho nskod: "Is it true, senator, that this wlno was made in forty or something!" "Yes," was tho response, "it is of tho vintage of '44." "And it 's worth six or seven dollars u bottlot" "Yes, at least that." "Well," said tho judgo decisively, "it's too rich for my blood. Glvo mo beer!" Tho social sessions of tho Elks brings out many a good story. At Chicago n few night ngo Luke Schoolcraft, tho minstrel, told ono that is worth repeating for tho benefit of tho boys. It was of a jolly old Irishman who was addicted to a very free use of tho bottle, much to the disgust of his faithful wife. Sho knew that lio was "going it" at too fast a paco and she appealed to their priest to pull him up. In view of the circumstances tills priest thought ho was justified in employing one or two fairy tales, so when he met Pat on tho street ho called him asldo and said: "Pat, you'ro drinking too hard. Now, you know that you can depend upon what I say. and I have no hesitancy in telling you that if you keopon as you aro doing you will change into a rat." This awful prediction annoyed Pat greatly, aud when ho went home he told his wife about it. Of course she worked it up and told him tho priest was undoubtedly right. Pat was deep in thought for some tlmo. Ho did hato very much to give up his toddy, but the rat Idea was too much for him. Finally he said: "Luk here, Bridget, av ye see thn whuskcrs an' tail comin' an me, all I ask av ye Is jist to keep yer eye an the cat." V The latest flat of Madam Fashion, whosup posably sits enthroned in the east, banishes the bustle. One need only to have been at the german Monday evening to be convinced that Lincoln is up with the times. If any so cial fads wander westward with approved credentials the belles of the capital city may be counted on to give them a proper reception nnd encouragement. V One of the necessities of a great dally news peper ofllco is an able-bodied Ingenuity, whoso duty it is to devise ways and means of filling Sunday columns with matter to at tract thapublio eye. The Omaha HerahVa Ingenuity has both Ideas and energy in put ting them to the test. Last Sunday's Usuo produced a remarkable effort, and several hundred Nebraska women awoke that day to find their faces, figures and manners in cold type. Tho IlerahFa correspondents through out tho State had been instructed to take their pens in hand and write out a list of tho leading ladles in their respective social swims, together with a list of tho charms of the fair fair ones. Tho result was three pages of names and adjectives, and tho Nebraska mar ket for belles and beauties aud queens seems to bo well stocked. The Lincoln ladles singled out for this distinction were Misses Minnie and Olive Latta, Clara and Martha Funke, Aileen and Belle Oakley,Graco Snelllng, Chic Brown, Maude Burr, Lona Giles, Nana Lllll bridge, Lilly Hathaway, Miss Agey, Miss Lo mlst, Mlsa Ziemer, Mesdames A. O. Becson, L. C. Burr, H. P. Foster, J. A. Buckstaff, Frank L. 8bcldon,Lleut. Townley, Col. Burr, Mrs. Rhelaender, Mrs. Bussey, also Miss Matne Smith, of Crawfordsvillo, Ind., and Miss Hamlin of New York. V As hinted by the CouniEn of last week Mr. C. E. Montgomery lias let the public into tho i-ecret of his project for a hotel at the corner of N and Twelfth streets, adjoining Odells. Instead of Mr. J. J. ImbofI a Mr. E. II. Sauls bury of Chicago is associated with him. They propose to erect a five story hotel, and the plans, already drawn, indicate a substantial building of modern construction. According to the Journal thete gentlemen propose, to begin Immediately "on a building costing with tho ground 1300,000," providing the peo ple of Lincoln step up promptly and subscribe to f 125,000 worth of tbo stock. I hope the Journal Is mistaken. A building "costing with the ground $200,000" is rather an uncertain quantity. In this case the ground in quebtion contains, I am told, seven busi ness lots belonging to Mr. Montgomery. If that gentleman's ideas are as big as same other people's his lots are valued at 173,000 to 1100,000 at least, and I submit that that does not leave enough money for the kind of a tao- tel that Lincoln wants. It would also bo in ferred that the enterprise is a scheme of Mr. Montgomery to unload somo high-priced dirt upon his neighbors, and that may do a patri otic gentleman a grave injustice. Glvo us a (300,000 building, and If not that wait awhile. According to the proverb of the Arabs every thing comes to him who waits. We are told that 100,000 have lieen subscribed, leaving only 35,000 to be raised. yIf public spirited citizens will chip in that trifl cheerfully and qulekly we are assured that the enterprise will "go" at once, and an effort will be made to have the building ready for the new year. Butwben the CouniKit last week gave the publlo iU first inkling of the project to put a big hotel on the Davis corner at Twelfth and F it knew more than it could divulge at tlm time. Preparations have progressed since then and tho company has been organized. Tho ground 160x142 has boon secured, $330, 000 of stock havo been takon, $130,000 of bonds havo been floated in Philadelphia and an architect is nt work on tho plans. Tiio chief party back of tho enterprise is tho Mis souri, Knnsas and Toxas trust comMny. The hotel will bo flvo stories nnd flro proof. Gen. Mclirldo, shako I In tho languago of Al. Fair brother, wait for tho hotel, V Ono of tho newest organizations of tho city is the Gentlemen's Trotting Club, which will begin Its career with a meeting to bo held on Juno 10 and 20. On tho first day there will bo a 3:00 minute nnd a 2:25 trot, onch for n purso of 1300 and a halt nillo running race for $100. Tho second day's program Includes n freo-for-nll trotting rnco for 1100, n trotting raco for three and four year olds for $100 and a ono mllo running raco for $100. In tho lat ter $25 will o given to tho first homo making tho quarter mllo, $25 for tho half, $25 for tho tbreo-quartor nnd $25 for tho first horso to tho mllo l08t. Tho entries will clow Juno 15th and tho managers hopo to have a fine field of horses. My friend tho business manager has nked mo to tell tho readers of tho Couiueh all about a treat he has In store for them. About a week ngo ho was offered tho right to pub lish a copyrighted story, "Taken by Siege," and tho first thing ho did was to try it on the Observer. Tho latter began it ono evening, and it never let up !. grip on his interest until it was finished, but he survives. V Levity asldo, I want to assure the readers of tho CouniKii that they may expect a novel of exceptional strength and Interest. Whllo ostensibly n work of fiction it bears internal evidence of being founded on real llfo. Tho story tells of tho struggles of n country boy togeta foothold In Now York journalism, and relates how ho arose to tho position of managing editor of The Dawn. The story tells how tho young man, alone and a stranger in a great city, went to the opera nnd fell in love with the prima donna; how ho met her In his rcportorial capacity, made an impres sion and was Invited to call; how tho ac quaintance progressed and how the great singer capitulated after a five years siege. The Dawn is tho New York Herald. Thn prima donna is supposed to havo been Clara Louise Kellogg. Her lover, tho writer of tho story, Is a well known New York editor, but his Identity is concealed. V Tho story embodies a dramatic picture of New York life, many of its Incidents being drawn front the note book of a reporter. It is not exaggerated for sensational effoct, and though some of the incident are thrown into the story with little connection it heightens tho realism o' the thing. Instead of placing this story before its readers in two column driblets after the style of the uverago weekly, tho Couiueh will issus a supplement and prqbably finish tho story in about tlireo In stallments, It will mnko about twelve pages all told. Minor Mention. The old settlers will piculo at Cushman Park Juno 10. Miss Grunlnger will entertain a small com pany this evening.

The capital city is entitled to wear an extra plume of pride as a center of tho dramatic art, for two of her distinguished citizens are dally drawing crowds to witness their intel lectual feats.

FASHION'S FOLLIES. i An eastern firm advertises to send two doz en mlniaturo photographs for 25 cents to any young lady who will mall them an ordinary photograph. Scores of western young ladle havo been attracted by this offer and sent photos nnd their quarters, receiving in duo season tho mlniaturo pictures as promised. Tho scheme is a trap to catch tho unwary. For some months past there has been great rivalry among tho cigarette manufacturers in procuring photographs of protty girls to re produce for advertising purposes. At last one of the concerns hit upon this mlniaturo picture scheme nnd it has been worked with tho most satisfactory results. Tho advertise ment Is nothing more or less than a blind to get photographs for clgnrotto advertising. The mlniaturo photos aro mado and returned, but the original picture, If it Is that of a pret ty girii l reproduced by the thousands, aud unclosed In tho packages of cigarettes. It adds n local and attractive plquanav to cigar ettes when you happen to find a picture witli them of some pretty girl you know. Lincoln girls who havo been caught In this trap need not be surprised to llnd hundreds of their pic tures floating around among the local dudes at no distant day. -- A sudden and anticipated as wan tho ad vent of the Hading veil, so rapid is its dlsap. pearance. For aw hlio every woman of suf ficient means to buy a pocket-handkerchief indulged herself in ono of these enormities, and wore It with n poroUtcnco nnd courage that could not but command respect. Now they hnvo vanished as their originator has, from off tho face of this continent. They have becomo vulgar, said ono lender of fash ion, nnd laying hers aside sho set tho example for nil Now York.

Tlid coming bonnet Is a subject of femluiuo interest, but tho staying ono appeals very much mora to mankind. If there is anything undeij Heaven that a man loathes worso than getting up early in tho morning, or going to bed erly nt night, it is to bo walking with a woman who is never quite certain as to whet) er her bonnet Intends to romain on her head r to take wings unto itself and settle in an m i barrel. The chances are sho objects to pins in the first place, and the other chanc es are that if she approves of bonnet pins she doesn't know how to place them. You (jnnnot wear your hair low and plu your bonnet to ft without the bonnet rising in rocklng-horso fashion and giving you a dis tracted appearance, and you need not rely on strings to keep your bonnet on your hood. If you wear your hair low you have got to have a small pad of falso hair, which you lay right on top of your head, fasten down Becurely, nnd when your bonnet is put on stick your pin through It; and then, and thon only, are vou safe, and then, and then only, is the man of your heart certain that your bonnet is the prettiest he hai ever seen, because, as he em phatically puts It, "It stays on." Anionic the Musicians. Mrs. A. W, Jansen went to Omaha Monday and was a guest at a reception given by her friend, Mrs. Motcalf.

Mr. U. 1). Hyatt Ilr.orlli-s Tells of It Nights and the City and Legends, To tho tourist ascending or descending tho river Rhine It is well worth turning asldo a day or more, to visit tho chnrmlng city of Wiesbaden, n few miles from tho river bank, Tho landing will most likely Im mndo nt Mnyonco, from whence tho nvur may bo crossed by a bridge, from tho opixmlto end of which frequent trains mnko tho trip in nliout fifteen minutes, through n picturesque coun try. Wiesbaden doubtless owes Its location and importance to several sprlngs.of mineral wa ter of n tctnperotunt not qulto hot, and yet tuoro than warm. IU flavor Is not unpleas ant, being somewhat llko n broth of fowl, nnd for bathing, If temerud sufficiently, It is lux urious. Tho city Is n model of neatness nnd order. A beautiful forest purk, nxtendlug along ono sldo of tho principal street, allures tho mid summer vl-ltor to Its cool, dark, fragrant depths, from which, if ho wanders on. ho will presently emerge at tho Kursnll, tho prlncl lal nmuseinent placo.llere am a largo theatro and gardens where refreshments are served, a Kud of water aud boats for rowing, muslu and almost ovury accessory of ease and lux ury. But tho visitor should not allow tho attrac tions of tho city to divert him from a viow of its surroundings, which may lie obtained by means of it carriage excursion, Inexpensive nnd morn enjoyable If mndo In company with other tourists. Among tho objects of interest In tho vicinity is n chnel of the Greek church, n typo ot architecture not often met with ousido ot Russia. It may be seen from tho city, far up among tho hills, in relief against tho dark green foliage, Its gilded domes glistening llko Jewels in an mnorald set ting. As wo set out through tho suburban streets tho routo is zig-zag and tho progress slow In gaining tho steep ascent. Wo pass embowered cottages nnd luxurious villas along tho vino-clad hills, and soon enter and wind through a bit of forest; whether artifi cial or natural It Is hard to determine, but tho trees are suspiciously uniform in size aud spe cies, resembling the American beech. Their spreading lops completely shade tho ground, which is not grasss-grown but covered with damp leafy mold. There is tho dim solitude and woodsy odors, tho gray lichens on tho trees, and you would not be surprised to see squirrels skurryingnp their trunks. Jjoavlng the wood, u rocky cmlnencolssooii reached, whero tliero is a pavllllon and nc commodatiens for picnics and excursions. Froui this point we look down upon tho cltv aud beyond, over nn expanse of lanilscajH) rarely equaled in beauty, a llttlo farther on a turn in the road reveals ourobjectlvoiiolnt, the site of tho chapel. It Is n graceful struc ture of graiilU) mid marble, in the peculiar Russian ecclesiastical style, tall but not largo in area, built fifty years ago, Its abearance is fresh and new,wiiich, wo are told, is owing to tno purity ot air in tills altitude. Woven In tho history of this building, there Is tho thread of romance so common to this Rhino country. It is a memorial chapel and Its history as told us is in brief und im ioIIows: A nobleman, u rewldentot Wlcsbadcn.whllo traveling in tho Czar's dominions, met and wooed u Russian lady of high rank and raru beauty or jiersoii and character. They were married und lived happily in the Duke's palace at Velsbadeti,but tho geutlo Duchess, the idol of her husband and beloved by all who knew hcrslckcned and died at tho early ngu of nineteen. She was entombed in u church which was soon after destroyed by a llro that raged in tho city, but the coffin ot tho Duchess was rescued by some heroic firemen, whom tue Duke rewarded liberally. Ho then chose tills secluded sot and reared TTieTianilsome clinjel of her faith as her memorial and tho mauso leum of her remains which now reoso in the crypt beneath. On entering, the visitor is expected to be stow a gratuity to tho lady uttendant. The Interior is lofty, nnd chastely finished in pol ished marble, the floor softly carfieted and tho llghtsubdued. Solemnity seems to iervade tho place, and the few spectator move about silently or speak in undertones. Sacred fire burns In a censer suspended from tho celling.
