ELIZABETH ZANE.
TU dauntless pioneer maiden1 name
h feMcribed In (old on Uie aeroU of Fame;
m'u the lassie who knew no fear
t When the tomahawk gleamed on the far frontier.
It defed of daring shoula win renown,
X as honor this damiel of Wheeling town,
Who4 brand the aavsjro with deep disdain
Srlfht eyed, buxom EUaabeth Zane.
Twos mora than a hundred years ago,
They were close beset by the dusky foe;
, They had ttfent of powder their scanty store.
And who the gauntlet should run for more?
fee sprang to the portal and shouted, "I;
Tie better a girl than a man should diet
y loss would be but the garrison's gala
Unbar the gate I" said Elizabeth Zone.
The powder was sixty yards away,
Around her the foemen In ambush lay;
a she darted from shelter they gazed with awe.
Then wildly shouted, "A squaw I" "A squaw I"
She neither swerved to the left or right.
Swift as an antelope's was her flight
"Quickl Open the doorl" she cried, amain.
Tor h hope forlorn I Tis Elizabeth Zone I"
No time had she to waver or wait.
Back she must go ere It be too late;
She snatched from the table Its cloth In haste
And knotted It deftly about her wain.
Then filled It with ponder never, I 'ween,
Had powder so lovely a magazine;
Then, scorning the bullets, a deadly rain,
Likeastartled faun, fletl Elizabeth Zone.
Bho galncO the fort "with her precious freight;
Strong bands fastened the oaken gate;
Brave men's eyes were suff used w Itli tears
That bod there been strangers tor many years.
From flint lock rides again there sed '
"Gainst the skulking redskins a storm of lead,
And the war whoop sounded that duyIu vain,
Thanks to the deed of Elizabeth Zane,'
Talk not to me-of Paul Uoere,
A man, on horseback. With naught toear;
Nor of old John Hums, with bis bell crowned bat
Ee'd an army to tack him, so what of that?
Bere'i to the heroine, plump and brown,
Who ran tho gahutlet In Wheeling townl
Ben Is a record without a stain
Beautiful, buxom Elizabeth Zane,

Apropos Mr. Rosewater and the JJee, the
papers have run the gamut of tho platitudes
and rung all the changes on "pluck"and "en
terprlse." Other men have hail luck and
enterprise. Ari"d failed. Over and above
these qualities Mr. Rosewater has inherited a
share of the genius of a race that have been
the marvel 'of history; Dispersed ovsr the
face of the earth, they have always been in o
hopeless minority among men and hove sel
dom asserted themselves. The objects of su
perstition and the vlctlms'of prejudice, they
hove been content generally to lead a peace
ful commercial life. Hero and there Individ
uals have set their eyes on shining goals.
They hove faced ridicule, bigotry and oppo
sition with the calm faith that removes
mountains. Against enormous odds they
have conquered success swift and dazzling.
Theirs has.been a genius not to be measured
by ordinary, standards. Falling to' under
stand this", the world has looked on in won
dering owe Mr. Rosewater Is a sublime
egoist in the better sense of thw word. He
has a supremo confidence In self, an unswerv
ing belief in his aims, un abiding, all-sufficient
faith in ultimate success. As ho mid at the
pi ess banquet, he looks neither to the right
nor to tho left, and never behind. Tho 01 Igl
nnl estimate on the new Ike building was
8.10,000, and he negotiated n loan of 1150,000.
Hut the cost figure has been udvauclng con
ktnntly, nnd will rwflh 440,000. "I do not
know now," said Mr. Rosewater to the news
Iiper men about him, "where I am going to
raise tho money." It was not said boastingly,
but with tho simplicity of a sublime egoism,
a spirit undnunted ond'serenely confident.
Another element In the success of the lite
has been overlooked by the commentators of
theprtss. That element Is the aggressive
personality of Mr. Rosewater. Almost every
great doily in the United States has been
built upon the jei sonallty of its editor. Den
nett, Greeley, Dunn, Raymoud,Brooks,Weed,
Bowled, Wattersoii, Chlldtiund Stoiev are a
few of tho exampks that may be cited. Ideal-,
j6ih may preucn 01 iniersomti journalism, but
it is contrary to human nature and extvrlence.
They would. make the dally preas a crsnt ma
chine, grinding on and on by Its own momen
tum. Hut men have ambitions to puh, ven
geance to wieok, avarice to serve, vanity' to
feed, danger to avert. They cannot talk to a
Thing without core. They cannot appeal to
a Thing incapable of hope, of wrath, of greed,
of pride, of fear. They cannot love or hate a
mere machine. The Jlte'ti success, like that
of all the other great dallies, is the product of
the editor's Individuality. Mr. Rosewater is
as mucluhe Ike as Horace Greeley ua tho
New York Tribune. From tho beginning of
his newspaper career he threw himself-into
the fight for existence and command. lie
created a personal following. Whethrr
thiough gratitude or hope of fuvors to come
matters not. He mude enemies, whose abuse
magnified his Kwer, These elements grew
with the years nnd he ground leadership by
light of might. The irr's power and Influ
ence can be measured best by Mr. Rosewater's
persotiol following. The paper has been the
instrument ot the man, and as he has grown
he 1ms tU engthened his too). The instrument
will be stroilg when he diojis It, but In other
hands It will lose much ot its jMiwer, osslbly
itll of it. It Mr, Rosewater gres without
1( living a worthy successor the Ike may con
tluue u Miccessiul entei prise as a gatherer
and disseminator of news, but its political
power will be bioken. Politics and its influ
ences, under the control and guidance of Mr.
Rosewater, made tiivjke, but it is able now.
to do without the crutch.
The IU Publishing comiiuy Is stocked at
100,000. Mr. Rosewater owns about four
llftl s of it. The new building wim erected by
tho Heo building tompnny. Tho circulation
of the morning nnd the evening lire is neatly
111,000, The imiMiIng iwue circulates al
most exclusively outside of Omaha ruid the
etoniug issue within the city. The weekly

It has long been n pretty theory of Mr. J.J.
ImhofT that his corner at N and Twelfth
streets was just the pluce for a big hotel, but
he has tired of the hobby, and is now plan
ning to cover it with a great two story block
to be known as the Exposition. It will cover
all the ground between Odell's, the alley nnd
the streets. The front on both streets will lie
largely of plate glass. The Idea Is to use It
for a department store similar to the .Fair of
Chicago, but Mr. ImhofT thinks that name n
trifle too chestnuty.

W. N. Habcock, western passenger agent
for the Chicago & Northwestern nt Omaha,
having resigned to toko the management of
the South Omaha stock yards.there Is a deal of
speculation In railroad circles as to his sue-?
censor. The jieople on she Inside hove settled
on Mr. Henry Cansidy, assistant general
freight agent of tha F., E. & M, V 'as the
coming man. Mr. Cassldy hat not applied
for the position, but his fitness is so generally
recognized in railroad circles that his friends
have picked him out for the place, and their
praises have reached official ears at headquar
ters. Mr. Cassldy is a young man who has
made rapid progress In the railroad profession.
He began as clerk In the C. & N. W. general
offices at Chicago, and after several promo
tions there was given the compauy's agency
at Den Moines, where he kxxed after freight
and passenger busiuetw. A few months later
he was promoted to his present responsible po
sition. He has made friends at court, and it is
believed he can hove Mr. Hnbcock's place If
he will soy the word. Mr. Cawldy's frequent
promotions prove his ability, but he makes
no parade of his honors op his dignity. Mod
est, almost diffident, he invites tire confidence
and good will of those who come In contact
with1iim He has made many worm friends
wher would like to see him at the head of the
Oiniilm office If he wants It.

William Voro has returned to Kansas City
ofteruun-day visit with hit) brothcr-iu-law,
Dr. Taylor, during which he exomln-d Lin
coln critically. He was greatly surprised at
the rapid growth of the city since his last vis
it, three years ago. -Mr. Vore is handling
real estate in Kansas City, Omaha and Fort
Worth, and says Lincoln will compare favor
ably with these pluces In many lespectM He
thinks our city should let the world know its
advantages us a commercial, educational and'

The game of ball between the Omaha leocuo
ieam and the Lincoln amateurs had no t n not-
nble play in tho nine innings. The visllors
attended to business for four innings, until
they had a good lead, nnd then, nfter giving
their opponents a couple of runs for encour
agement, wound the game up In short order.
The score was 12 to 2., About thr hundred
people were out. Thegnino was not adver
tised very lftnvlly, probably because the tim
was limited. The mt railway haJ a single
car leaving O street at Intervals of fifteen
minutes, a Idli'ulously inadequate provision
for a crowd. The new grounds jire in good
shape, but are too small for the heavy Imtters
of the league. It Is sold they can lie enlarged
If necessity requires. In left field for the Lin
coins was Ed E wan, brother of Al Ewan of
the Ike, wlto was put down on the score nml
as Ilouseworth. In center for the Omahas
was Harry McCormickthe win of one of the
wealthiest men in Omaha. But young.Harry
would rather be known as u tiall nlar than
collect rents.
The Lincoln Ikm a rniik well as 'amateurs.
but Tuesday's gome showed most effectually
the sutieriority of the professlonals,though, of
course, some allowance should tie made for
the nervousness of the amateurs in meeting
suh formidable opponents. Will Hammond,
for example, ordinarily one of tho liest play,
era in Lincoln, was badly rattled and made
several pitiful plays at mcoud. On every
hapdduilng the game was heard the wish
that Lincoln (night have a good team in the
Western league. It Is known that De Moim
and St, Joref h aregetting financially weary,
Mid it Is assumed that Lincoln might gtt one
of tho franolilsA) for ths ffoit; but ns yet the
effort oein. not lolmxe Iktii mnde.
Tim Omaha llniiltl, by tho way, has it
spoiling reiwrter'who has been doing bril
liant work. The other day ho niorted n ball
game at length In rhyme, and another game
was written up In the literary style of the
lUblo. Both were very clovcrly done.
V
AproKW sporting matters, a certain circle
of moneyed men is discussing tho advlnablj.
Ity of building a boulevard from tho city out
Into the country. Tho purpose Is to mnke n
smooth dilye with n road house three or four
miles out at which pleasure seeker may get
a Delmonlco supjier or lunch. Mr. C, S.
Montgomery Is said to be n moving spirit In
the projsct. He Is a typical wcstei u rustler,
and If he should take hold or It in earnest
thare would be something moro than mere
talk.
City Editor Jones of tho Journnt smilingly
sajs he Iws a Journalistic kindergarten under
way. In the place of Reiorten Uowe and
Chamberlain ho has two or three novices, one
or two of them university boys. The Joiinicil
has bceuinci easing It reiwrtorlol staff, and
the financial problem has liesu solved by di
viding tho salary of a 'voterun betwien two
raw hands.
Somo of the old nowpacr men nro in
clined to sneer at tho university bojs, but,
rsally, the most the latter lack Is exjiciience,
and time will bring that. Tht man v ho comes
up from the ranki is opt to arrogate too
much Importance to his jietty successes. Be
cause some fellows with diplomas have lieen
spoiled by the Indulgence of poients, a cause
and an effect that Would havooxlsluxl wheth
er tho sons wero in school or out of It, the or
dinary man is too prone to class all collegium
with these failures. It Is not strange that ft
young fellow leaving school at 31 or 84 can
not Immediately take a place by the side of a
man vho began at J8 or 15 to lay the founda
tion of his business career. Tho conceited
layman makes the mistake of the world, that
success I measured by the dollars piled upj
but, after all, all there Is in life i the happi
ness one gets out of it, and tho educated man
has joy entirely beyond tha senses of the
fellow whose cent per cent ha bseti both
primer and calculus to him.
The Journal, by the way, has peculiar
methods. It keeps tab on the amount of mat
ter turned In by each ropcrter and published.
By a mysterious piece of machinery "peculiar
to itself the stuff is clipped, separated and
pasted on strings, ssnt to the business oftjee,
and, presumably, the yards, feet and Inches
ore recorded. Just what part this proceed
ing plays In the ethics of Journalistic manage
ment Is another mystery to the hireling ecrib
biers, but there it an ill-defined belief that
each one get "credit" by theyard or jiomlbly
by the acre. If u reporter turns in on article,
good or had, and It it not used he gcte no
"credit."
A good example of tho beauties of this sys
tem occurred the other day in connection
with the agreement of the Knights f Labor
to stand by the U. P. engineers in the event
of u strike. One of the reKrteni had the con
fldoiro of a man on the inside ami got from
him a complete copy of the agreement, with
the names of the parties to the deal. It would
hoe filled two column and he spent nearly
half a day In getting it. The Journal iuj)
pressed the article, as It had a right, but tho
Ioor reiKirter got no credit for Ills work.
Tho correniiondents sent two hundred woids,
as much as they could get, to thu qhicngo
pajwrs. The latter showed thelroppreclatlon
of iunewulueby ghlng it n triple head
and sending It on to New York and Boston.
The Journut may be a shop liuteodof a news
paper, as some allege, but tliot's none of my
business and not iiertlueut to tha iiarticular
matter in hand.
,
The paper poys,lte reporters by the week
and not Dy the apace they fill; consequently
the.mystery about the JouituiCf system. Tim
city editor ought to know without a yard
stick wiictlior a man is doing a reasonable
amount of work, and if ho understands 'his
business ho will also take Into consideration
the quality of the lunn und the quality of his
wbrk. The business office ought to lme
enough conlldeuce in the city editor to accept
his Judgment of the value of n reporter. The
theory that his worth may Im'measured with
a foot rule Is ridiculous. It muv be a omid
way oi iieiennining the value of sawing w ood.

AMUSEMENTS.
It may le heresy not t'ojoln In the proces
slou and worship at ths shrine ot Rhea, but
the truth of the matter Is tlmt French accent
hns liecomu Intolerable. Rhea weals elegant
gowns, has a fine complexion, Isgrnceful, ijlls
her lines with anlmntlnn, acts with spirit and
hat a nullo that is jiosltlu'ly bewitching, but
In "Much Ado AUut Nothing" It was all
skilled by tho Imjiosslbllity of understanding
more than half slit wild. Her English Is
growing iioorer or the charm of her Fnmchl
ness It wearing off. In her earlier day lm
the American stage wosjKike of It ns n pretty
dlteislon. Even In "An Uuejunl Match" wo
accepted her luqisrsonfltlon of an English
country girl, liecause we were under the stiell
of her charm; but, after hearing her half a
doen times, the accent, the high pitch of
voice and the French mannerism graUon the
si mo and serlmuly mar nu otherwise artistic
perfoimniue. Hhea'na supixirted ljynn un

It Is a question whether the ladles In' the au

Mr. Irving' and Miss Terry' visit to Sand-

that all wos going beautifully with "The
Merchant of Venice" her majesty seated In

Miss Terry's time came a Portia to deliver
her great speech about "Meroy." Hut the
queen quite mistook the usual pausti for tonn
sudden failure of memory and began prompt
ing ner quite low, "ino quality of mercy,"
etc., but Mis Tsrry did not take thecuo,and
her majesty repeated rather more loudlv and
eiicouinglngly, "The quality of mercy I not
strained," 'Thin was almost too much for
Mtis lerry, but with a violent effort to sup
press htr twinkling merriment she controlled
herself and gracefully accepted her cue.

And what an odd city Chicago 1 in some re

way that I actually thought for the first few
