Atlastl' Prof. Irving J. Mnnntt, of thin city, exchancellor of tho Stato University, has been appointed Consul at Athens, lie was a candidate for minister to Greece, but while the consular npiHlnttnent was a surprise It will doubtless be ngreeoble. Pres ident Harrison Is quoted ns saying Hint tho endorsement of Mr. Mnnntt for the mission wni very strong, and ho wns not surprised that tlmt gentlcmnn's friends considered It ns nil but irresistible; but the president dwelt upon tho jKilltlcal pressure brought to benr U(Kn lilm. He nppoluted Louden Sowdcn of Pennsylvania to tho mission. This Is i cgord ed among the politicians ns the first consular appointment chargeable to Ncbraskn. Mr, Egnn's appointment, It Is lelt, was n lecog- nltlon of tho Irish republicans of tho whole country and was not fnlrly chnrgenhlo to this state. Ex-Chancellor Mnnntt may have had detractors in his manngiment of the Uni versity, but Nsbtaskans gcnsialry will bo pleased at the recognition of Nebraska by the president. Mr. Mnnatts learning and ablli ty are un(iuestloned, nnd hu will represent Undo Sam wltli credit. Tho very latest in tho enst is said to be, "Would you leave homo for that!" Tho cpU demlc is working Its way westward, nnd Lincolnttes will soon learn how easily It tuny be applied to almost every conceivable subject. Tho columns of architectural dtslgus for houses, published each week In the Couiiikii, has proven to le one of tho best features un dertoken by tho pnticr- The CouiiIKH tins learned of several cases in which its designs are to bo used In Lincoln, and there aro others probably that have not coma to Its knowledge. Only n few dnys ngo a contract or received a carte blancne to build a cottage after one of the CouiilEli plans, nnd ho has taken the paper with the explanation that, although' not much on socl 'ty, ho expects to find many valuable suggestions in tho nrclil tectural column. Many people of modest means aro watching this feature with n great deal of interest. It plans them a variety of designs for homes of inodtratopiicesin a manner that can bo readily understood. V The Rev. Mr. Savidge, who preached at Cushman park Sunday, is quoted as saying: "Hellglon U moiu than a inoru profession; you can't make a minister out of a blatk coat and a white choker. Tho besi kind of n man is the ono with ouo bono in his back and tlmt straight. You ain't make a man by taking a bead and some toes and tying them to gether with a strlug." For the credit of the cloth mid thn truth of anatomy it is hojad that the reverend gen tleman has been incorrectly repotted. A ruau with that kind of u back bono would be fit only for u dime musee. V Mr. Savidge is the minister who cretacd n mild sensation in Omaha ty talking oinmoii sense lrom the pulpit. Hint ntmtdiobo a noveliy for Omaha, and although the pustor of a new Methodist church out on the edge of town hu attracted considerable attention. He was shrewd enough, too, to have the imperii announce msseihious under btrlklng titles. V It seems that Mr Henry Cat-sidy, assistant general ireignt agent or the ElUioiu did not want the Noithwestern Omuha agency. The lucky mau is Mr. It 11. Itltchle, who was agent for tho Northwestern at Dss Moines. He was agent at Clinton for years, and suc ceeded to the Des Moines ofllce on Mr. Cas sldy's promotion to his present place. Mr. Ritchie is alto a young man who hus mado bis way to tho front by merit. One of the standing jokes of the lato legis lature was tho farming of Senator Church Howe. Ho joked about it himself, and tho newspapers joked about it until the people generally cot an impression that it was all one hugo joke. Tho gentloman from Nema ha it such u prominent and ever present flg ure in political and railioad circles that it was thought ho hud no time to lun a farm. In his serious moments, however, lie asserted that he was n bona flde hay seed, and he off ered to convince the incredulous newspaper men if they would visit him. While In tho city last week he was reminded of his prom ise, and ho told tho boys that ho would bo ready for them on Sunday. It goes without saying that tho visitors were handsomely en tertained. Church Howo has tho art of goodfellowship, or rather a genius which im pels a spontaneous generosity and hospitality. He is ono of tho tew men who net a world of satisfaction by scattering favors upon others as he goes along. Of course, Bye-tho-Byo is aware that a great many jieople will main tain that Church does nothing except for its political effect. Admitting tho charge for the moment, how much more admirable such generous selfishness than tho selfish niggard liness of the average politician, or even tho average man I Dut u great many others who have watched Church Howo closely will con tend that the charge is altogether too sweeping. Wlillo Mr. Howo is a politician with all the arts of his class, they know of scores of kindly acts of his, returns from which are only remote possibilities. But I am digressing. On their arrival th0 scribblers were refreshed at a spread of good things, solid and iluid, and were then shown over the farm. They found an immense barn constructed on original plans, with all sorts of conveniences. There are over 100 bloodtd horses on the farm, and tho sleekest of them were led out before tho admiring Visitors. The stud includes many beautiful animals, several of them of great value. In one of thecorrals wcro exhibited about eighty head of cattle, not one weighing less than 1C00 pounds. There were swine galore. A trip nbout tho farm show ed a variety of crops in lino condition, among them '.'00 acres of corn and 60 acres of wheat. Tho Senator's home was an,' ordinary farm houso to which another room has been added now and then. It is furnished as luxuriously as a city house, and the grounds in front of it aro kept up in flue style. Tho farm has 800 acres. It has been Church Howe's home for the lust twenty years, and it represents In pnrt tho results of a pretty active life. Hu Is assisted in its mnnngemeut by his sou, Herlcrt Howe, nnd thev hnvu quite n nuuilier of men under them. They hnvu also 800 acres In Johnson county, stocked with cattle. These fact ought to Ix) coucluslvo evldcnco that Church Howe i a farmer. V One of the merciful acts of the last legisla ture was an law , authorizing tho governor to pardon two convict each Fourth of July. Tho law provides that the prisoners must hnvu served ten years or moro, must hnvo n reeoiil for good behuvior and mutt bo recommended for pardon by tho chief Justice, tho attorney general, tho secretary of state and tho war den. In accordance with this net, Governor Thayer on Thursday pardoned two Indians, James Whitewater and Black Hawk, who had served seventeen and nineteen years Respectively. Both wcro serving Hfo senten ces for minder. It is said that Whitewater never broke ono of tho prison rules, whllo Black Hawk's single offenso wns excusable. Once, while marching, the man behind step ped on Blnck Hnwk's soro heel. The Indian jumped out of the ranks and struck tho w hlto man. Black Hawk went to Omaha and will probably go thence to tho Indian reservation near Fender. Whitewater was met by his two sons. He will probably join tho Otoes In the Indian Territory. V The bonrd of pardons purosed recoin mending Francis Frank for one of the govern or's fa void, but tho old man didn't want to be pardoned. Ho said nil of his old friends In the outer world weio dead or scattered, and he pref cried to stay in charge of tho hos pital at the penitentiary. V Whitewater Is a half breed of tho Otoe Indians mid spoko English fairly well even before his Imprisonment begnn. On July 4, 1871, tho Otoes wcro returning through Fair bury from their great buffalo hunt. Whlto wnter got drunk while In town. On his way to the reservation ho encountered two men cutting grass nnd feeding their horses prepar atory to going into camp for the night. Ho shot ono of tho men whllo in the act of gathering up an armful of grass. The other man cut Whitewater on the arms and hands with a scythe, but was disabled by a bullet. A second shot killed him. When found their bodies ncro not desjiolled, Indicat ing that the crime had not been committed for murder. Whitewater was suspected ntul arrested, but escaped. The whites were in dlgnunt. They accused tho Otoes of secret ing him, and they, in fear, agreed todelivered him up. They soon found him and took him to Falrbury with a great display. Six war riors i ode ahead. Then came a wagon with the prisoner between two braves. On either side of the wagon were two mounted Indians, and many others followed as escort and spec tators. On his trlul Whitewater saldthnt n white man had killed his sister and he had sworn to kill two white men for revenge. Ho wns tried before Judge O. 1. Mason. V The king lives I For mluo eyes have seen him. Long live the king I Ho ennio in omp, and the glory of his paM.-liig filled tho hearts of the eople with gladness. Great and good is tho king! May he have life everlasting, nnd may he never forget to light the streets of Lincoln w ith his shining presence at least once a year. And unto Bob Mcllejnolds shall be prulse evellimie. For he went unto tho laud of Quivern, which is in the kingdom of Legend, and there he shewed unto the king tho greatness of the city of Lincoln. And Bob found favor in tho oyes of his ruler, and tho king grunted his prayer and set the thuo for his journeylto this fulr city. Praise, lw the name of Mac. Both arjicr'a Weekly and Frank Leslie's had nu artist in Lincoln the Fourth. Hnr- Iiers have offered to give n page of illustra tions to the Tartarrax pageant and a two column description on condition that the board of trade take a half-iugo ad. at $350. This Is an exceedingly liberal offer, and it Is tho Couiukh's belief that that advertising fund cannot bo used with better effect. Orders for extra copies will not bo taken by tho agent. They must go through tho local newsdealers. Leslie's proposition is not as liberal, and there is a disosItiou to make no contract with that paper. It is to be hoped, however, tlmt arrangements will lo inmlo to have tho affair Illustrated in Leslie's also. No hotter adverti'-emeut can bo hud for tho money. These two paiws are of a high giade, and to easterners anything illustrated in them has an especial merit. To have both periodicals bIiow tho glory of King Tin tnr rnx's coming would Invest Lincoln with an impoitanco throughout tho country that no ordinary advertising could do. Tho chief illustration in Harper' swill bo a vlow of the procession from the north-west corner of Twelfth and O streets. It will show the "rifle tower" arch, .tho Burr block, Fuuke's opera house and the Alexander block. Around this view will bo shown tho other arches, anil perhaps some of the characters in tho pageant. Leslie's artists took about twenty views. V A girl claiming Lincoln as her home has been distinguishing herself in California. Tho Holllster Free Lance tells tho following story about her: On Tuesday last n young man and a boy were about the street peddling fans prettily mado of wood. George Austin watched them and told E. L. Dunham he thought tho boy was a girl. On Wednesday afternoon tho boy camo to Mr. Dunham's tal lor shop to see about a coat. Dave offered to measure him, but tho boy objected. Davo insisted, and in measuring the Ixiy found substantial indications that mado him believe he was no boy, but a very well-built woman. He told the marshal the result of his InvestN gatlons, and tho marshal invited the boy to his ofllce, and there, strange to say, ho was convinced that the boy was a woman and de serving of arrest for masquerading in boy's clothes. She was taken to jail, where the was visited by several kind-hearted ladles, w ho volunteered to tit tier out in clothes suit able for her sex. and to find her n heme. She accepted both invitations, and will be given n home in somo kind fatuity. When her companion, who stated that he had been tramping with her for a month, wns told that she wns indeed n woinnn, his surprise appar ently was houinlieiw; ho Indignantly denied that she was n woman, but declared show as a lioy. He wns arrested on suspicion, tint as no charge could be mado ngniust hlin he wns nl lowed to go on tlio promise of leaving town Immediately, which he did after leaving some money for tho girl. She clulinsjto lie a resident of Lincoln, Neb., mid to have worn ItoyV clothes for six months without detection, Sho left Nebraska in comnuy with nnotlier gill in male Jattlie, but they palled compnny nt Cheyenne. When arrested si 10 claimed to lw a brother of her companion, whoso iinme wns Spencer. He nfterwaids said his untile wns Stewnrt. She finally acknowledge! her name to be Mary Williams. In appeal unco she Is about live feet three Inches In height, n decided brunette, dark Imlr, well formed, and weighs Via Kunds, She is eighteen years of age. In the great Tarlanax pageant the leading roles were well cast nnd each man lilted his place in n truly Mlttlng manner. Dick O'Neill as Tartarrax, Tom Lowry as Coron ado, and S. L. Gllllck ns mnrshnl of the day, together with M. Acket until and Bob Mclley. nolds ns busy assistants, succeeded in making the parnde move with the preclivness of n well drilled company of soldiers, Tho mes senget s from the king to the commander of the guns in the University yards created a groit deal of excitement us they dashed down O street at a tei rlflo rate of secd crying "He Comes! The Klngl Tim King " They were Will McCluy nnd Hairy Burtrtiff. V Zlemer (there's only one Zietner) Is arrang ing an excuislou through Colorado nnd New Mexico, "Around tho Circle." ns It Is called. It will bo a select party, privately conducted, with Zleiner himself In charge. He has seen a great deal of Uncle Bain's country, but he thinks the trip around the circle Is the finest thousand mile tour In the country. Tho party will probably start the latter part of next week. There Is room for a few morn It Is safe to predict that with Ziemer at the head they will have every attention tho rail roads can show, nnd see nil the sights. AMUSEMENTS. Lincoln Is to be fnvored next Monday evening by the Bostonlnns with "The Do hemluH Girl." Among the members of the company aro Marie Stone, Tom Karl, 11. C. Barnabee, Gtorgo Fiothlughum nnd W. 11. Macdouald, whom old theater goers will re call as the mnlustnjs of tho popular Boston Ideal 0erit company. Dissatisfied with the muiiugemaut of that troupe, Messrs, Karl, Bai nubve and Macdonald organized the now company, which embiuces tho best talent in the old organization as well us new singers of merit. Among the latter me Jessie iturtlett Davis and her sister, Josephine Buitlett, Louise lllanca, Catlottu Macdouald, Juli ette Corden, Edwin Hoff and Edwin Cowels. The Bostoiilans aie on their way east from a successful tour of the Pacific const. On tho succers cf this engagement in Lincoln will deM!tid the company's return In the future wlthn different opera at etch Visit. The Bostoiilans play In Omaha tnch sensott to big houses nnd It would be a treat to lovers of good music in Lincoln to Induce them to visit this city every year also. The IItoulunn liuve made such a bright record us one of the very best English oera companies in this country tlmt it seems unnecessary to dwell at length ufou their merits. The company Is so large that it can give two entire casts for any of the twelve ojieras In its reportory. The singers are cast to suit the oiera ami give the most efftctive results. If you hear an opera with Karl instead of liaruulteo it is because the former is better fitted for that particular work, and vlcoveisa, TOM KAItL has been at the head of English slngln g ten ors for ten years though his first triumphs wets won In Italian oiiern at Milan, where lie studied wtth bnnglovaunl, and where he made his debut. His success was to great tlu.t ho filled no less tlinn five consecutive en gagements in the musical cubital of the world. Carl Rosa went to Milan expressly to secure Tom Karl for the United States tour of Purepn. His enreer since then, excepting a five mouths' season nt Milan, hns Wen con fined to America. Here he has sungwlth such distinguished prima denuus ns Tit lens, Purepa, Nflssvii, Annie Louise Cury, Kellogg, Muiie Iloze und Adelaide Phillips, besides having been a jmrt of the glorious recoid of the Bostoiilans from the first performance they ever gave. Karl jsossesses the admir able trait of self-control. He Is not self-indulgent, and the admirable habits ho main tains tecurts lo the public a tenor whoso voice keeps jierfect puce with his well-lwil-ttnetd anil intelligent acting. In the familiar leading tenor roles, such ns Wilheliu Melster in "Mignon," Lionel in "Maltha" and Thud eus in "Bohemian Gill." Karl Is Isyjond all question tho most pleasing and satisfactory artist on the stage. He is also a strong solo favorite. JKBH1K IUHTLETT DAVIS, who will appear as the queen of the gypsies, Is a fine contralto. She Is a Chicago woman and probably the most noted of American singers whose art was acqulrsd at home. She has been a singer all her life, and was an at traction for miles around her country home on the prairies of Illinois. She sang success fully in tho earlier Gilbert and Sullivan op erns, but her career really began when she made her debut in New York with Adellna Patti in Italian opera at tho Academy, where she made an instantaneous hit as Slebel in "Faust." The circumstances under which she sang apearing at a day's notice ami without rehearsal being widely and favor ably commtnted upon, she may be said to have gained national fame In a night. The greater jsysslbllltles for her were obviously in English opera, and since then sho has sustain ed the leading contralto roles In the Carleton Opera Company, tho American Opera Com pany am) the Bostoulans. Considered as un approachable in comedy roles she has this season astonished her friends by exceedingly strong dramatio work in "Bohemian Girl" and her creation of Cyulca in "Pjgmalllon and Unlntcn." The other inrmlieisof the cast nieMuctlonnld, Miss Corden mid Mr. Cowels. The lust was n Chlcngo bnnk clerk, but he hns a fine bass vole and Is making a big hit, Although this is his (list season on the stage, EDKNMUNKK Tho crowds that attend tho Museo eoeh day, in spite of the warm weather, attest to tho growing popularity of the place. A curio hall full of wonders nnd the justly rcMirntcd llliii'linrts In tho theatorluin Ihuve been t lie cards all week. Commencing Monday the ctlrlu hall will contain AiiIrt, the lightning sketch nrtlst; Hnll, tho llfing skeleton or phantom mnii and Mens llrotilllnrd, tho modern Hercules, In umurlng feats of skill and endurance. Down stalni In the theato rluin a really inerltoiloiis comedy company, headed by none less than Mr. Htim'l Htiiion, the rising comedian, will piesent the success ful comedy draina,"Tho Silver Queen." This company cnriles n handsomely uniformed Hussar band and orchestra. Do not fall to visit the Museo next week. Fi Idny, as usual, will lw ladles' day and every lady In attend ance will recelvo a beautiful present from ths matingement. OOSSHII' ok TllK noun. "Seven Ages" Is tho nunio of the piece In which Henry E. Dlxey will be seen next sea son. Francis Wilson says tho "Oolah" Is doing so well in New York that It will probably bo continued nil summer without u break. Stuait Robsou's next tour will b(glu in Chicago early in September with Steele Mackaje's new play, called "An Ariont Kiinve." Tho following attractions were announced for this week in New York: " The Oolah," at tho Broadway theatre; "Tho lltigantls, "at the Casino; Tho McCuull 0era company, at Palmer's; The Royal Chinese Theatrical company ,at the Windsor?1!!!

Lillian Russell, who nt ono tltno was very stout, nnd esjieelnlry largo ulout the stomach and the hips, has Ihsjii wise enough to i educe her flesh just ns she wanted to, that is to say, she took away the fat where it was unnec essary und left it where it was needed. This she did in tho systematic way of mi English jockey she was bandaged with htavy llan nels and then over them she wore her regular clothes. Sho hud employed n pacer, and every morning she went to the jxtrk with him while it was still early ,so that she should have her walk without attracting tittentlon. Ho walked Just In front of her, and as hu thouRhtwise, Incrensed the quickness of his steps until she wns In profuse porsplrutiou, esjieclnlly on tho pai t of her body where she wished the Heidi to dlsopiear. Then home she went, walking very quickly, soon she wus undressed, rubbed down with alcohol, put to bed and allowed to sleep for nil hour, when she wns nwakened to have a cup of coffee. The result Is that tho beautiful Lillian is well-shiod, unwrinklod nnd healthy, a result that would not have followed If sho had taken to the starvation diet, or If she hud simply sat and moaned over each sound of flesh. rersoimlly Coniliieteil Excursion.
