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.

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

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. At tho close of the crforiiiuuco

Mr. W. 11. Dennis, the hatter nnd furrier nt
U!I7 O street, announces his sixth annual fur
owning, nu event ol sixx-inl Interest to the
ladles of Lincoln nnd vicinity. 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.
