Tho Suntliiy Globe hos lieen succeeded by the lhiilji Globe, u five-column, four page, icnny imiik-t. It In tho custom to nay pretty things of it now paisir, sweet nothing that ticklu tlio vanity ot tho projector of tliu now enterprise Imt seldom give tlio honest con victions of tho writer, I inn guru Unit tho frntvrnlty, with tho iKisslhto exception of those with whom tlio Globe will como in di rect competition, huvo naught butthoklndll- rat wishes for tho now candidate tor public favor, hut thoro In no occasion to smear it with fulsonio iluttcry or to uw it us mi excuse for venting n uplto or a jealousy felt toward another Journal. Lincoln lm.s a Held tor nn owning iiniior that is ns yet only partially tilled, but tho Call and tho AViim do partly till it and leavu that much les room for u conqiotitor. Tho Glolie presents an attruc tlvo uppcurnnco. Tho first pago Is free from display advertisements, and tho reading mat ter Is arranged under well luilunccd heads. It is printed from now typo on good paper and shows careful presH work. Tho Globe's first week has given promise of merit, but it will not crowd out either of tho older evening iu perH at tho present jxiee, for It cannot Ihj Mild truthfully that It given more or better howh than 1U competitors. It will appeal, llrst, to a largo class of jeoplo who heretofore luivu reail no dally paper; secondly, to men who admlro pluck in young fellows, and, thirdly, to tho wcII-UmIo reading public if tho editors aru shrewd enough to doKometlilugtocomHl attention and then hold it. What is that something? Ah, that's tho mystery that struggling pajiers all over tho country are trying to solve. There is no cry in Lincoln for u penny paper, but thousands may take it lieeauso the cost is a mere trlllo. If the publishers can impress tho paper with an in dividuality or a feature to catch the iopular fancy their patronage willlesomethlugmore substantial than favor. Another element of success is tho ability to "rustle" advertise ments, and the Globe, start out with a sur prisingly largo display from tho very lest houses in tho city. A third element Is tho wisdom to keep down oxpcnsiw. Tho pub- lsuers, Messrs. Hunter and Souerest, are practical printers and both have had experi ence as oltlco managers. They are neither nshnmed of work nor at raid of it. They are not high-llyers in any sense, and know tho value of -money. After nil, tho success or failure of tho Globe is altogether n matter of publishers and their muko up. It has maden bruvo start, an encouraging start, and the CouitlMi hopes sincerely to sco It win. Altogether too much fuss has lcen inuilo over a letter by Mayor Broateh of Omaha fa voring New York for tho site of the world's fair of 1802. Mr. Hrontch is not Omaha, much less Nebraska. Nor does ho represent tho sentiment of tho pcoploor Nebruska. Our interests nro with Chicago rather than New York. We want tho world to see tho west and know tho west. Tho world is moro like ly to do that If tho fair be located at Chicago. Wo nil wish to go to tho fair. Wo can nllord to go to Chicago, but the timo and tho ex pense of a trip to Now York would hnr onto great many of us. The sentiment of Nebi as kn is overwhelmingly for Chicago, and when Mayor IJroatch,after Jan. 1st, retires Into the obscurity of private life no voice will Imj lift ed up against the city by the lake. Sho may count on Nebraska us solid for the represen tative of western life, western ideas, western energy and western hospitality. To advcrtlso is a necessity. To arguo it .a unnecessary. Tho fact is generally conceded. To catch tho public eye and attention with novel advertising is a study, often an art. Clothing firms nro notably heavy advertisers, and Semmons, tho Lincoln clothier, Is pre eminently in the lead among Nebraska deal ers for ingenious and artistic advertising, Ono of his master-strokes was the engage ment of Dan Locb, whoso genius has Intn displayed on tho big plato glass windows and excited tho wonder of thousands. Dan's win dow writlug has been a telling novelty, and whether making a rebus, or caricaturing well known citizens as they looked when youmr. or picturing prominent men as they will ap pear when grown old, or displaying a weath er bulletin, or delineating tho legend of King Tartarrax and his barliaric court here in Ne braska 350 years ago or merely writing sim ple signs and promises, tho passing crowd al ways stops to admire. Don uses many colors and works with such eoso and rapidity that many siectators remain to sou tho artistic creation grow under his nimble lingers and blossom out into a humorous or Bentiniental picture or n plain business proposition. It is a fact, which may not lw generally known, that Loeb is one of the llrst as well as ono of best window writing artists In tho' country. Ho began this work In tho oust some years ago and gavo instructions to several other artists, who nro now scattered over tlio coun try. V Tho unoxiectod has happened again. Ed. Slos-sou of tho Union Pacific has been out of town. His road ran an excursion train to Bloux City Thursday, und Traveling Passon ger Agent Frnwloy was assisted by Blos-son (Frawloy is authority for tho nccent) and Traveling Passenger Agent McCluro of tho Milwnukeo in chaperoning tho pilgrims to tho corn palace. Mr, Slos-on succeeded in re maining uway an entire day, because there was no returning train and ho has scruples against walking. Ed's friends will lw glad to learn that ho Is quite woll today, thank you. At tho reception of Itishop Vincent tho company applauded with tho Chautauqua sa lute, and it prompted the bishop to tell tho origin of that pretty custom. In tho early years of the Chuutauquu Assembly there was among tho lecturers u deaf and dumb pro fessor from n Canadian school, who illustrat ed Ulblo stories in pantomime with such ex pression that tho uudienco readily gathered his illuming. Tho spectators applauded heartily, but it occurredto Dr, Vincent that ii man deaf to thosoundof thoclapplng hands could not appreciate that kind of applause, Tho doctor thereupon asked every person In the nudlenee to get out a handkerchief, secrete it In the hands or lap and Imitate him when ho gave the signal. At tho next pause In tho program tho doctor gavo the signal by wav ing his handkerchief, and the audience im mediately lccamo white with the llutterlng signals of approval. The waving of hand kerchiefs was adopted as the Chautauqua Ba lute, and is now a mark of especial consider ation. To get the full effect and Inspiration of it one must 1h In the amphitheater at tho original Chautauqua, with 6,000 people in the soutHnnd a thick fringe around tho edges. The nlr Is charged with enthusiasm and good will, and tho visitor cannot help drinking them in as ho breathes. This Incident is a characteristic Illustration of tho quick wit with which Hlshop Vincent rises to every opiortuulty, und as tho head of tho Chautauqua movement he has plenty of emergencies to tax his Ingenuity. Hlshop Vincent Is n yntnil man. Whether as plain Heverend, sinking from the shabby old Au ditorium at Chautauqua to a handful of people seated under tho trees in tho oen nlr; or as Doctor, holding tho rapt at tention of 6,000 listeners under tho sheltering canopy of the big Amphitheater; or us Chan cellor, sending words of cheer to nearly 100 000 students In the Chautauqua collego scat tered over tho globe; or as the lecturer, giv ing parents Instructions how to handle "That Hoy" and "That Hoy's Hlstcr;" or as Ilishop, ruling the destinies of a largo part of tho great Methodist church, in any and all re lations ho shows tho mighty xiwer of a big brain and a full heart working in happy ac cord towards a noblo end. He has in an em inent degree that elusive quality which, for want of a better name, we call personal mag netism. Chautauquaiis admire, love, Idolize him. They turn to him not merely as the founder of their order, but as the fount of their Inspiration. He is running over with n vitalizing force, und has the uncommon fac ulty of thoroughly Infecting others. Ho Is a grand man, Des Moines won the western base liall pen nant last year, and tho papers went into te stacies over it. Now the Mail und Tune walls: "Omaha gets the iennant this year, and there's nothing in the measley rug not a thing." It makes n difference, you know. The women of today are tilled with n great big unrest. They want to do something and get well paid for it. Naturally tho Ilrst sug gestion is housework, but they turn a deaf ear, Tho nowspnjerH have been full of ad vice, from selling home-made apple sauce to dancing a clog at swell jMirtles. Tho young man charged with tho duty of tilling this de partment with wise sayings und witty scintil lations has an idea or two on tho subject, but ho stands In too much awo of tho divinely perfect sex to commit tho irreverence of pre suming to olTer advice. Hut here comes "Hah," the chic woman corrciqondent, with n suggestion that ought to lie good, for it comes all tho way from Now York. 8ho monologues thusly: "Why in this world, where women, unfortunately, have to earn their bread und butter, there are not some who will go out and mend things or duds, is something I cannot understand. It would lo much moro creditable to n woman to sow on missing hooks and eyes, to mend lace flounces, to put drapery ltack to tho place it lielongs, or to freshen up frills of lace at the throat, and do it well, than to Insist on making ill lifting bodices, Iwdly cut skirts, and placing pockets where you will sit down on them, and couldn't reach them to save your soul. Tho average dressmaker regards tho doctoring of n wnrdrobo as beneath her, which only proves to mo and to you what all-'round fools wo men are capable of licing. To have somo iKxly whom you can trust como in once a week, or whenever you want them, take your keys, look over your belongings, put a stitch where It Is wanted, thus saving tho twenty that tho future may require, is, 1 consider, a great blessing, and one that would bo appre ciated by hundreds of women. The claim usually Is that they don't get enough pay for it and that tho work don't make any show; well, let them ask a fair price, and if tho per son for whom they nro worklngdoesn'tgronu nbout the show, I don't see why they should. I think but then I am only a mortal, and dressmakers aro txiyoud that that there is ten times moro show in n IkxIIco proierly mended, mid a skirt with a fresh rufllo nlxmt tho iHittom, than in a Directoire coat that is Ill-fitting, unsuitable for the person who will wear it, and which makes so much of a show that all the artistic nature of the American public rises up and metaphorically cries, 'Fio upon it.'" Tho wedding of Emmons Hlalno mid Miss McCormick has set the social world in u Hut ter of curiosity, and a great many ieoplo aro interested in knowing "wliat they wore.' Tho malo sex that iart of it which gives somo thought to clothes may want to know how tho son of a distinguished man dressed on so iiiqwrtant an occasion. Young Mr, Hlalno, after much ticrsuaslon, plaintively said of his outfit: "Well, the trousers aro middling drab, the vest Is tho same cloth as the coat and tho necktie is a shade or two lighter than the trousers and there you real ly are, aren't your ' Hut a reporter said he was dressed in a woll-flttlng coat of tho cuta away style, of flno diagonal cloth ; tho vest' was of tho same material, and the trousers wore light, with a very line stripe. He wore a high standing collar and a whlto tie. A white rose adorned the left laol of tho coat. There is an example, for Lincoln dudes. When asked about the bride's costumo Mr. Hlalno said: "It's something white. It is glossy, and I guess it is satin; but, mind you, I don't say that I know." Hut a nowspaier writer's account is a littlo moro satisfactory: "Tho bride's costumo was a study of beauty. The make-up was rich and costly, und though tho style wns severely simple it was neverthe less elegant. ThewuUt was of whito satin, fitting exquisitely her well-molded figure, A fichu of India lace fell softly about tho throat In tho style of Mario Autointte. The sleeves were roir Kscd of soft lace, and reached to tho wrUK Tho entire front was mmlo of vn Icuclcmics, meeting a train of white rutin, Tho veil win caught up with a coronet of orange blossoms, and tho toilet was complete In Its elegance." During tho year 1881 Hyo-tho-Hyocamo In to frequent contact with Emmons Hlalno, and the impression ho left was that of u young man of average ability, but of more than av erage good sense. His father's presidential campaign was In progress, and there were many brilliant opportunities for him to put his foot hi it by ipiot lag his father or by air ing his own opinions, or by swelling up with his own sclf-lmpoitnnco; hut ho carried him self with singular tact and dlnereotucs. Quite naturally eoplo whom ho met In asocial way tried to draw him out on his father's candida cy, but ho always evaded the qulzzom and novel ventured any opinion on passing ixilltl cal events, although ho must have had an In tense interest In them. For n young man of such distinguished parentage ho was conspic uously modest and democratic. Tho Omaha H'orM-lleittM Is cutting down the oxihmimch of its Lincoln bureau. W. O. Hell has lieen released from duty as corros ixmdcnt, and John It Llddle, who had charge of tho circulation, will also look nf ter Cii Ital City news. It is an ojh'11 secret that tho Lincoln circulation of the' H')Wi-rmf( has been dwindling rapidly for several nionthi. Whether it is tho change in jKilloy, the coin H.titlon of tho cheaper Uepubllcttn or soma other cause Is a matter of conjecture. At any rate Mr. Hell mode mi energetic, compe tent correspondent. "Tho boys hero take thogliis to tho theater about like tho fellows at ," was the first remark of a stranger after u glance over the audience at Kuuke's ocru house at the per formance of "Tho Fakir." "How ol" asked Hjo-the-Hyo Innocently. "Why, thofollotts seem to bo going it alone." Which reminds mo of n message brought by one of tho Iwys from a fair unknown, to-wit: No carrlngo necessary for tho tlaaterl That shows good sense and a commeiidublu spirit, but what good will It do the boys if tho iden tity of the young lady lie not revealed! And then I object to having Hih Issue inado a per sonal ono. In his former article on this mat ter Uye-tho-Uyo merely quoted a conversation between two men, without comment, mid ho nattered himself that he was not committed to either side. I submit that it's not fair to pounce upon him tor tho doings or tho lack of doing of other tteople. However, If theyouiiK lady in question will H'imlt Uye-the-llyo to suspect her identity he will undertake to maintain tho chivalry of his sex in this ins Btaiice. Mow then! AMUSEMENTS. "King Cole II" has had n hard row, Tho merry old soul's proertles were attached nt Kansas City for $M)0, when Manager Mclley nolds came to the rescue. Hob may blush to have his charity known, but tho statement Is made on pretty good authority. Ho played tho company at Lincoln and nt Fremont to pull himself out of tho hole. AtOmahathero was another attachment, but that teems to have been cased by Hlchard Htnhl, mid tho company went on to Denver. At that jKiliit tho King's suhjecta relolled and levied on tlio proiiertles for 1S00 of unpaid salaries. Af ter the flrbt performance here one of the cho rus asked u spectator: "Did it drug mucin" Tho fellow quizzed tried to lxj kindly evasive to tho qulzzer, but his touolH.-truycd him, and tho actor added mournfully: "Youcan'tex lcct a lot of people to lie very chipper when they haven't had any salary for four weeks, can you f" Staid, of "Said Pasha" fame, who as musical director took "King Colo" in hand, claims to liavo advanced 8.7) to get tlio old follow out of trouble nt Omaha und he also demanded a share of tho solls nt Denver, The combination is controlled by n syndicate of rich Philadelphia merchants, mid has been palylng to good business.

He Is on his way west, but will not go beyond Denver. Of Ban Francisco he has not a very high opinion. While the jwo pjo there treat tho stage very kindly, Mr. Keeno says thoy have no appreciation of de velopment in an actor. "It Is almost futllo," ho is quoted as baying, "to attempt ft higher rolo in 'Frisco if tho jieoplo there know you in years gono by in second characters. Now, I played in Sun Francisco simultaneously with McCullough and Hooth. If I should attempt my stni1 character ov r there people would ex claim: 'Why, what alls Keeno nowf lie was in stock In-re ten years ago, and wo know all about him.' This N the main reason that I ilo not want to go to 'Frisco." Mr. Keeno ti not given to talking shop. He seems to bo one of those uctois that look upon stage scenes nnd Incidents, so very Interesting to the outsider, ns naturally connected with nil actor's life, nnd, Mug a matter of course, ho doi not know tholr value to jieoplii who know of n theater only from a place lieforn tho curtain. When a reporter recently asked his opinion of stage-struck people tho tmgo dlausaldt "It Is u delicate subject to speak on. If you toll tho truth you would illscoiits ngu many n genuine talent, mid at tho sumo timo place yourself in the light o' being Irre sistible, Tho former reason would not amount to much, because genuine talent will always succeed not only Infaiiie, but Just on account of seemjiigly liisuiuioiintablodllllcultles; tlio latter Is more serious Is-causo it places you In n ridiculous light, and nothing Is more de structive to professional reputation than tho ridiculous. Yet, you have no idea of the ht feet avalanche of letters with which leading actors nro overwhelmed.

If I say live out of u thous and applicant are lit for the stage I certain ly strike a very big average. Tho few who succeed In nften llfo are, of course, Imbued with a guiiuino love for tho stage; all thn oth ers, anyhow a majority of them, think 'piny nctlng' an easy llfo. How foolish! Think of such giants as John McCullotigh and Mary Anderson giving way under tho strain or the work." HOHK Uudllt.AN AdAIN.
