Dyo-tho-Byo does not sharo tlio common prejudice of olil newsjMipvr men against tlio college-bred Minn who enter tho ranks of tlm scribbler for bread mid butter,. but there nro times when it would Iks n kindness for some Olio to venture n little advice to tho Icttrued beginner, oven at the risk of hurting his feel ings. For oxnmplo: A lire lust Saturday uight burned a barn valued at $500. Tho Journal gave It n quarter of ti column of val uable space and startled the render with a big scare head. That may Ik) the jiuirt's pol icy and not tho rojKirter's faidt, 'but the ac count of tho lire contained the following im portant facts: "The Harnett burned fiercely for iv time and lit up tho surrounding neigh borhood bright us day. The department hud tho flames extinguished In about ten minute after their arrival." I am sure that a young fellow bright enough 'to make his way through the university needs only to have his attention vailed to the ridiculousness of such work. A hint is as good as a lecture. There may be some extenuation In this ease,. because it is a rule in the Journal olllce to write against space, but even iihiiio-dolltir-a- week reK)rter owes something to his belt-re spect. The theater-goers of Lincoln, or u part of them, have n delicate sense of humor, and they shower their approval with llnodlscrlm inatiou. A case in ixiint occurred nt tho pro duction of "The Corsair." Tho most uproar ious applause of the evening wus created by a male trio, whoso members alternated in slug- hig n sorlow of stanzas, uccompunying their lays with grimaces and contortions. For ox a(Tiple,'vhut could be more humorous than this little odo to our, old friends of the nur tejyf Jack und Jill wont up the hill To not a pall of water. Jack lull down and broke a two-dollar bill And didn't bring back any changel It Is true that the meter is u little huuoaud the rhyme somewhat bashful about putting ill Its appearance, but what the audience ap plauded was tho wit and not tho oetry. Tho trio then presented nnother of Mother Gooso'b gems in a new sotting: LI tlio Jack Horner sat In a corner, Kullug n Christmas pie. Ho stuck In Ills thumb und pulled out nplum , And lie (lasn'UIonu anything since! This was excruciatingly funny, and tho listeners insisted on moro with a soulful yearning. They were re warded: , If a body meet u body Cumin through the rye, Thero nro no Hies on Gallagher, For Unllughcr let them got The humor of this clfuslou was cxqulslto, and the appreciative audlcncopaid nbig tril uto in sore hnmls weary and moutli. But the acme of wit mid relluemcut was not reached until tho following sentiment was delivered, when tho enthusiasm of the listeners mude such n magnificent demonstration that tho trio escaped in tho confusion: Mother-in-law Is dend, For her my heart does yearn. . I know sho's with the angels, Forsho was too tough to burn. Nothing In the jx-rfominnco iileosed the aforesaid theuter-goers quite as much as the pure and delicate humor of these alleged songs, it is a mutter tor prido that n Lin coin audience so readily detects tho liner points of n $tX),(XX) ierfonniince. Mrs.. Lane, widow of the late Dr. Milton Lane, hus published the followingcnrd, which fully explains itself: "To tho public and especially to tho friends and patrons of my deceased husband, Dr. Milton Lnnc,,niid my self, It Is gratifying to Ihj able to iiffnouuco definitely that T. II. Lane, M. D., of Leba non, Inil, my husband's preceptor and eldest brother, Is now associated with mo in tho practice and will bo found at uurollliv. As Dr. T. II. Lnuo hus made a sucrlllco of home and old friends as well as a lucrative practice to assist tho widow and orphan of his brother, I earnestly solicit a contiuunnco of your pat ronage." Soino time ago one of the county olllcers asked the contractors who are building tho now court house to put a special lloor in the room he is to occupy. He agreed to pay for It if tho county refused. Tho contractor suw blm after the recent county convention, but, itrango to say, he had changed his mind and didn't care what kind of a floor is put in. V A meeting will bo held at Boliauan's hall this afternoon by butchers, fanners and others interested in keeping out tho dressed moats sent here by the packers at Omaha and Kansas City. It is reported that tho packers are ottering their meat at a cent and a half a pound to induce tho local dealers to handle it, but tho consumer has not discovered any difference in the slzo of his bill. The butch ers are opposed to buying of the. packers, pre sumably Ixjcauso they make moro money by ' doing their own slaughtering; but they are picking against tlio inevitable. If they don't come to time the packers will probably do as they did hi Iowa: ojieii market of their own alid undersell tho old dealers. They huvo tho ability lo keep up that kind of a light indefi nitely. The butchers might learn u lesson fronr.tho logic of events and accept the inov itaUIb gracefully. The spirit of the age is for 'concentration, for tho conduct of industrial enterprise's in mammoth shops; and in all lines 'where it is ixisslblo handwork is being replaced by machinery and tlio individual worker is being driven out by the blgcoinixi ny. The same change Is taking placo in the manner of preparing meats for tho market. Tho butchers cannot delay It long. If the lire wise they will take tho tide at lb Hood and reap some of the benullU. If the butchers will unite In securing the erection of a packing houso right hero at homo they can defy tho outsiders. It U too clear to need argument that twt ty cuttle can Imj made into meat ill om shop with improved methods much cheap er than in twenty shops with old method. Tho saving of freight ltotli ways would glvo an advantage) over outsiders. Thero ought to bo a beet packing houso in Lincoln to sup ply the local market not only of thU city but of towns west of us. It It only n question whether tho supply houses for this section shall Isj located In Lincoln or nt Kansas City and Umalia. Ono of the moving spirits in today's meeting says this sort of a proposition will bo presented: If the business men of Lincoln persist In ImortIug their meats the farmers will Inqtort their supplies. Hut that sort of it threat will not amount to anything. Tho Journal of tho other dny gavoa pitiful example of the blind leading tho blind. An anonymous correspondent wasted nearly a column and a half trying to correct certain alleged abuses in the h leaking of tho English language, such as seaklug of a house a thir ty by eighteen feet In size, instead of putting tho smaller number first, Tho writer also told of a public s)eaker who put an affected twist to his pronunciation, and then this would-lo purist commits the following atroc ity: "This party so speaking could speak jwr fectly plainly, as ho would onco in a while seemingly blunder onto tho proier pronunci ation, but if he hud but known how his little thumb-sucking stylo of pronunciation grated upon my nerves, I am very sure ho would have set his misguided notion of olcguuco In such baby blatherskite as that aside and would havo spoken, as every speaker ought to, sHak his words perfectly." It Is only fair to admit that tho whole arti cle is not as had as this sample, but much of it will not boar the simplest tests of criticism: This correspondent tells of a sixsnker "mim icking Ids words out like n small child who had not yet le trued to talk." This is Ixid enough, but hu udds: "Well, it made mo tired. Then it made sick. Then It mudffino mad." It is iKissiblo that he was mmlo "tired" lit tlio sense of having his patience exhausted, but it is not ut all likely that ho was made "sick." Ho may have Iteen disgusted but he was not sick. Ho limy havo been vexed or Ir ritated, but he was not inado "mad." The omission of tho word "mo" Isjfore "sick" nuty havo been a typographical error, and, though he has lcen grossly careless in his lan guage he may have tho benefit of tho doubt. HUH telling of the same speaker and his effort this would-lx) critic says: "Tlio tuple was a dlscourso on tho tariff question." Only n caro lers writer, it blunderer or an Ignoramus would mix up a "topic" and a "dlscourso" in that faulty way. Lincoln is not behind tho procession In many tilings, but it is a little strange that she hus no better hall for the accommodation of dancing parties. Temple hall Is tho best, but It is not by any means up to tho requirements of tho city. If some of tho parties erecting now buildings would arrange a hall a good hall on an upper floor they could count on front two to four dancing clubs, not to speak of numerous other ixtsoiis and organizations wanting better accommodations. PEN, PAPER AND INK. In tho Ut. Iaiu Mayazine for October is an exhaustive illustrated article on Dinning haul, Alabama, ScHlmer'n Mayatine for October contains an exciting exploration article, In which Jos eph Thomson dcscrilos h'ls remarkable and fumous journey through equatorial Africa; n very practical paper on tho lsjst way to Im prove tho common roads of the United Htutos; an end paper by "Ik Marvel," the author or "Kovorlos of u Bachelor;" ono of tho most at tractive ulectrio articles, showing modern ap plications of electricity to war, on laud and sea. The leading article lu tho October i'oniui U a review of tho political situation In Ku ropo, by Prof. Kmllo do Lavoloyo, of tho Uni versity of Liege. Ho shows tho points of danger to peace, and explains tho formidable preparations for war that even tin most pa cific nations are continually making. It is a comprehensive lnsldo view of tho K)lltical status of all Europe. A hundred years hence, l'rof. Lavoloyo thinks, except China thero will lie no nution that can compare in strength and Importance with tho United Htittes and Hussia. Outiny for October Is a very gooditumlwr, Indeed. Jt marks an improvement over pre vious numbers, and such articles as tlio Trail of tho Bison, illustrated, by Julian Itulph and E. B. Gorton, A Tricycle Tour in tho Essex Country, The Granite Club of Toronto, beau tifully illustrated, and Tho Valkyrie-in Brit ish waters, readily show tho advance made. An unusually interesting story, by Captain Hawloy Hmiirt, is begun in this nunilier. It Is entitled Flycatcoer, a Talo of the Hunt Cup. Other articles are From Lako Nioissfng to Ottawa, illustrated; Fishing for Whiting on tho Irish Coast; Among tho Basques and Navarres, Ex-Vostinastcr-Qenenil Thomas L. Janios lias preiiared an explanation of needed postal reforms, which will apiear in tlio October Jonim. Mr. James declares Unit tho rail way mall service is twenty years behind tho times and ought to bo very greatly improved; thut small otllces near to one another ought to lie consolidated under one management, so as to save expense; und thut ocean isjstago ought greatly to bo cheapened. Edward Vukoflold, a incmlier of tho Australian I'ur llament, who has been elected und defeated many times under the Australian ballot sys tem, will contribute to this miiulier an ex planation of the practical workings und some defects of the system which hus boon so much discussed In this country.

Tho president's English Is not equal to the emergency of describing tlio fyo.OOO "Cor sair." Tho ndjeotlves, jxxir things! Imvo Ikhmi so abused and imposed uku in tho extrava gant language of common, overy-day life, thut they nro unequal to extraordinary Deci sions. Thoproudsuperliitlvennd the self-re-Hlectlng comparative have Irvii degraded by vulgar usoto it plebeian level of commonness. Nothing less than superlatives lu their origi nal vigor nlid glory will do Justice to tho inngnllleent staging of "Tho Corsair." As a sjiectacle It was gorgeous Istyoud anything over exhibited in tho great west, n wealth of plush, silk, tinsel, color, scenery and lights. As it bin lcsouo It was rich ami ainuslug. hi "Blrbnnto" Joseph Fraukau gave us some clever business that stands out ns a distinct burlesque creation; but Cluis. I lagan's Irish man, "Yussiif," was, as usual overdone. The audience have not yet found out why tho ac tion of tho play was stopissl completely to inject slack-wire nnd other s)oclulty business. The wherealsiuts of tho play dining thathalf hour wns a mutter of much unsatisfactory speculation. Whether It went out to hoo it man, took a vacation tor Its health or merely Suspended business for an early evening nap has not Ikvii mndo clear, mid several curious Icoplu nro dangerously near the ragged edge of ilosiKM'atlou. I ho siHHL'inltles were 1 1 led Into tho middle of tho performance without reason or connection, when the playwright might easily havo made a nluusiblu excuse bv having the pasha give a fete. A mulu wns also injected into tho 'rforinanro to kick the connection to pieces, but It seems to Ui an Idiosyucrucy of Edward Hire, mid genius must not lu judged by ordinary rules, "Adonis" Dlxey cavorted ten or twelvoyours ago as two legs or a coir in "Evangellno,"and wo are not sure but thero were signs of com ing greatness In the hind legs of tho mule. As a musical performance "The Corsair" was decidedly "rocky," If tho slang Impermissible. They were pretty nice pirates except when It came to attacking music. That they butch ered with it daring and it iK-rsisteuce worthy a baser cause, and tho object of their fero cious nsssauit wns literally chewed to pieces. But "Tho Corsair" doesn't bank on its music. As a spectacle it Immeasurably excels any thing seen in this section, and us a burlesque it ranks with the Iswt. "KATHKItliANI)." It Is no common pleasure to sjsvik of it the atrical performance In unqualified prulso,hut Karl Gardner and "Fatherland" merit that distinction, Gardner Isdongs to tho "Fritz" Emmet and "Pik-ii-lMM"HoanluiiHchool,who deisjnd on their singing, dialect, dancing and character acting rather than on sceulu or drauiAtlu eirects." Gardner has a sweet voice and is a graceful dancer, nnd ho takes fre quent opK)rttihlty to display his ability in those lines. At Fuuko's Monday evening ho won tho sympathy of the audience from his first appearance with it little girl upon his buck (it cleverly successful trick, by tho way, of Isith Emmet nnd Bcanlan to capture the paternal sentiment of the spectator), mid Ills sweet melodies and rythmic steps brought many recalls. "Fiithorhi"d" Is nu unpreten tious play, it picture of simple Joysaud home ly life, with Just enough unsuccessful villainy to net ns a foil for tho rugged honesty and native virtuu of tho German character. It Is nu Idyl that upisjjls to tho rushing Ameri can spirit llko n pretty picture of simple childhood.

It will liegln next Monday, Sept, ItOtli, and continue Tues day, Wednesday. Thursday and Friday. Ho will have on oxhihltloii a large lino of fur garments inado up In the latest styles from Ixmdoii and Paris for tho season of 18MMK). The lino embraces seal Jackets, wulklngcouts, mantles and iiownmrkcts, All the articles displayed will bo for sale, and on tho days iiuiiicd nttovo may lxi tsnight at strictly whole sale prices. An exx;rleiieed furrier will Ihj in nttendanco to take measures for garments to lxi inado to order when necessary. This will enable Indies to secure porfict fitting gar moiits mid have them inado to suit Individual preferences In the minor details. M-. Dennis' fur opening Is nu minimi event of grent ImX)rtanco nnd convenience to tho over Increasing number of Indies who wear furs. It brings to tho ladles of Lincoln nnd vicinity tho advantages of the oostern mar kets. It gives them tho assurance of having a choice of tho most approved modes, und places before toein built a largo Hue of gar ment as no ordinary dealer can alford to carry. Tho enterprise of .Mr. Doimlsiiotoul gives the ladles those advantages withoutcost to them, but lie olfers them tho opixjituiilty to make it considerable saving from retail prices. The promises made by Mr. Dennis lu yours passed have been redeemed nnd tho In dies who hnvo dealt with him will testify that implicit conlldenco may bo placed on his statements. In this connection It is also well to consider that when purchasing of such a house as tills ladies cuii rely on every representation made, us Mr. Dennis, Ixiiug it ixirmmiontnud promK nent merchant of tho city, is ever ready to make any nnd nil claims good. This cannot be dono when buying goods east, and certain ly Is an Important xilnt lu favor of patron izing a home merchant. Tlm Jen Uh Ilolldujs.
