Now Riven thora

And guards allko

Tlio memory of her

Sound martial muilc, solemn, fclow.
As columned thousands reverent go
To where tho silent squadrons keep
The bivouac of eternal sleep.
No more shall fall on bluo or gray

Cut tender (lowers shall fall Instead
To graco tho crnves whore rest our dead.

Tennis club are not
its hnppy as thoy
were. They fondly
hoped to bring homo
nt least one of tho
prizes to bo olTered
In tlio stato tennis
tournament, and they depended on Mr. J. C.
Anderson familiarly Jack anions tho boys
to tet tho winning gait. Circumstances
liavo led Jack to join his brother In the serv-
Ico of tho Northern Faciilo at Tacoma, and
tho G street courts know him no inoro.
Jack, by tho way, was ono of tho most
popular fellows who have como to town within
recent yours both with tho boys and tho
girls, no had a good deal tho manner of n
man of tho nor Id, without being bias, and
his boyish appearance mado an engaging
combination, no was a clever sluger, could
thrum a guitar on occasion, talked without
sclf-consciousnefs and drow from a consider
able experience in city life. Jack's father
was one of tho viro presidents of tho North
ern Paclflo for years. Tlio family homo was
ou tne Hudson, and tho ton hud a gay whirl
In Now York. Ho went to Yale, and took
honors in tennis among other studies. Tho
family became interested In a patent passcn
ger car mado of steel. 'I he works were lo
cated at St. Jco, and the building was loaned
last fall to tho New Era Exposition. Jack
had come west to tako a portion with tho
steel car company, but tho burning of the
building, which trok place during tho fair
last fall left him out in tho cold
Of com bo the Insurance companies
objected to paying tho risks on tho ground of
the building having been diverted to uses not
contemplated when tho policies were taken
out, and Jack took a position with the Pom
croy coa! company pending tho settlement of
the Insurance. lie was heartily liked by
those who came to know him, and it Is no
meaningless compliment to say that his do
parturo Is much regretted. However, ho ox
fleets to di op in on us next fall.
The Couuiek ofllco displays a number of
Mlllau Itiwell' photographs In a variety of
positions anu costumes and tliey liavo lieon
greatly admired, flub, the Now York corres
pondent, writes tho following gossipy com
ment about the queen of comic onera: Iiv
the byo, the photographers all agree that the
most satisfactory woman to take Is beautiful
Lillian Russell. Sho certainly makes an ex-
quisito picture, ana it is raid that In addition
to her knowledge of dressing and posing ar
tistically, sho can juBt before they squeeze the
tube, throw luto her eyes that bewitching
look that has brought all New York and the
rest of the United States at the feet of the
grand duchess. I don't think thoro Is any
thing In the heavou above liko a photograph
of Lillian Russell, so that there will bo no
harm whatever in the averago woman fall
ing down and worshipping it. Sho Is ono of
the women, curiously enough, whoso beauty
lias always been acknowledged by other
women, and after looking at her a great deal
the reason seems to bo that there Is a sweet
leaven of femininity about her tlmt would
make her, quito outsldo of being a beauty, a
lopular woman among women . This doesn't
by any means always attach itself to lxnu
ties. In its issue of latt Saturday morning the
CouniEH suggested that tho opera houso or
chestra fall in lino w ith tho eastern theaters
und play tho audience out of the louso with
"Tlio Star Spangled Ranuor." At tho con
clusion of "Tho Gondoliers" that evening tho
orchestra qcted on'tlmt suggestion, and' the
audience greeted the familiar strains with ap
plause, This custom of playing the imtlonul
aiithetu at the closo of every erformance
seems now to bo firmly established In every
New York theater. Tho custom was sug
gested and urged a shoit time ago by the
Dnnimtlc Mirror, and tho movement is
spreading raj idly throughout the country.

not lie the last to fall in with n patriotic cus
tom that will liavo so much to recommend Its
general observance.
Mr. J. E. R. Millar received n copy of tho
CouiUKU tho other day that had been to
England and back on a two cent stamp. It
was mailed to his son, W. M. Millar, thou at
London. Ho had started on tho homeward
journey after a long absence in South Amer
ica and Europe, nnd the paper was sent after
him to Liverpool. It failed to overtake him
at that point, and was remalled to his Lin
coln address, reaching here soinu days after
his own arrival. One of Uncle Sam's green
two-cent stamps paid tho paper's faro on Its
round trip of 7000 miles.
Seaklug of newspapers nml their travels,
Mr. A.C. Kleiner received ono a short time
ago from D. E. Thompson that was consider
able of a curiosity. It was mallod in Turkey
nnd reached Lincoln in seventeen days. It
wits a copy of tho Levant tfriM,pullMied at
Constantinople. Tho sheet had been stamped
before going through tho pruss, uud a part of
tho name was printed over tho stamp. The
Ilerahl had the dates: One was the Moham
medan, another tho Christian and tho third
the Greek. The latter is merely tho old
style, which is twelve days behind tho calen
dar wo use becouso tho Greek church goes by
a system that has not provided enough leap
ycarB. Tho paper is printed partly In Eng
lish and partly in French. The fow dispatch
es it receives are published in both languages.
Apparently they ore received in French and
translated into English by one who Is not
posted any too well on tho United States or
our idiom. For instance; ho writes of
"tho eight hours day" and he speaks of our
congress as though it was a branch of cur
national legislature liko tho senato and the
house.
Apropos the subject, it you do not get nil
the news you expect In tho Omaha dailies
you need not wonder at it. They have to
reach points ulong the main lino of tho R, &
M. by tho flyer, which must go through
Plattsmouth about !! o'clock In tho morning,
A train runs down from Omaha to early
to carry passengers and mail, and in order to
catch the flyer tho Omaha palters cannot re
ceive matter long after midnight. In fuct
the papers which come to Lincoln are an
early Hrst edition, and the Omaha people get
the benefit of a second edition.
It is but a few years slnco Lincoln was not,
and but a short time since Nebratka was on
tho frontier of civilization, but the wonderful
progress of our peoplo in culture is displayed
in many ways. In no way Is this more not
iceable than In tho taste for works of urt as
exemplified in tho homes of our people. Tho
succefh of tlie Haydon urt club is another
evldenco of it. With this In view the Couii
ikii has ordered a series of engravings repre
senting a number of famous jMilntlngs. These
cuts are peclully engraved In hulf.toues,und
being made from photos taken from theoifgi
iml pictures are exact copies. Tho Couhiku
is about the only paper In Lincoln using a
gcod enough quality of Ink and paper to

muUe it possible to print these fine cuts with
satisfactory results. Tho Couhiku Is print
ing more of these flno engravings than any
other paper In this part of the country, and
Is receiving many compliments for It, Among
tho series about to bo begun will a copy of
a familiar plcturo by Marcus Stone, "In
Love," whoso sentiment will appeal to nil
classes. Lovers of dogs and tlio chuso will l.
pleased with "Forrard On' Forrnrd On"
after the celebrated painting of T. Rliuk
For tho largo class Interested in muiiio thei
will bo three pictures: "Hadyn Crossing tl 1
English Channel," "Hoendel nnd George I
King of England" and "Tho Preludes 1 1
Rach," all after famous paintings by V
Hammnu, Theso are ull that can bo ni
noimcod now, but It Is quite likely that other
will follow. The progretsof the Couhiku line
been steadily forward, und it will continue sc
in tho matter of illustrations as well as in
other departments.
Hnvo you any Idea of how many places
there are In this country of tho nanio of Lin
coln? Probably not. There nro two of them
in Indiana and also In Michigan. Each ot
tho following states hasone: Alabama, Cali
fornia, Delaware, Illinois, Kansas, Maine,
MafsachusottJ", MiniUhOta, Missouri, Mon
tana and Nebraska. Then there are Lincoln,
City In Delaware, Lincoln Center in Malno,
Lincoln Lake In Michigan and Lincoln Square
in Matwichusetts. Kansas and Pennsylvania
each have 11 Lincolnvlllo, Thoro aro three
Lincoln Parks divided between Massachusetts,
New Jersey and New York. Rut Lincoln,
Nebraska, the beautiful city of tho plains,
leads them all In every element of greatness.
The plan for the new H. & M. shops nt
Haveloek indicate ten buildings, three of
which will bo erected thls'yeur. These aro
tho mochlno shop, power houso and boiler
shop. They will bo constructed of brick,
stono and iron, and will bo located east of tho
Haveloek depot and south of tho railroad.
If you want to seo an interesting game of
ball go out to tho park some day and see Lin
coln's colored glanU wallup tho Omaha.
The Lliicolns are very handy with the stick,
nnd their coaching is as jolly a performance
as a circus. Maunlns is nun of tli nmitiM.f
catchers you ever saw, und It Is worth the
price 01 uuimssiou to seo Ills beautlrul throw
ing to second. Tho giants are ono of the most
mannerly nines j ou will no anywhere, and
they put up a game that is lira wing Increasing
crowds. They have a new shortstop, James
Lincoln of Kansas City, and If he Is as good
as his name he w ill bo Immensely popular.
Many lovers of tho gamo drive out, mid there
Is now quite a sprinkling of ladles In tho aud
fences.
Tho fecoud annual turnfest will be held In
thUcltY June23'to25. There will bo dele
gations from Omaha, Plattsmouth, Fremont,
South Omaha und Nebraska City, probably
several hundred visitors,

Everything was uotsmooth tho first season,
but ho got ih rough it und was ublo to try it
again. The Courier company of Ruffalo, N.

Rhitchford Kavanugh, the lioy Hopiuuo, Is
n phenomenon. Ho is not 11 geultiir, but u
prodigy. Ho cumo w ith prulses that seemed
uxtravugnut. We doubted them. Wo ex
pected a disapioiutlug performance, but tho
wonderful boy redeemed the promises made
for him.
Soprnuojuid alto when applied to the sing
ing of Iwys are ordinarily only lelativu
terms. Rut young Dlntchford's voice has tho
soprano quality so tiuly that tho slugr, If
un.soen, would surely bo supposed a woman.
Ill voice Is.marvelous, his art remarkable.
The voice is sweet, clear and full, reaching
high 0 easily, uud has leeti thoroughly
trained.
Tho boy's manner is only lets pleiislng tha'i
his singing. Apparently he has no self con
sciousness or trepidation. He is engagingly
modest, und his carriage Is very erect uud
graceful.
In his eutertuliiiueuts lust week he was
unslsted by Von Rolu Maciclwiuskl, an ac
complished violinist traveling with him, uud
by tho following local talent: Mr. II. J. W.
Senumrk, Prof. F. M. GlUault nnd Mr. J. II
Harnaby. The audience was very largo und
eiitliuslustio.
Knvanugli's singing is a rare treat. It will
bo ono of the inuMcal events that will he re
ferred to In years to come as remarkable. It
will be cherished us a precious memory.
Kavauagu will bo In Lincoln ugulu today
for two more entertainments, this afternoon
and this evening. They will be given for the
benefit of the Holy Trinity church, and Mrs.
Chus. S. Llppincott uud other members of
tho choir will usit lu the program. An ad
ditional feature will be another boy prodigy
from Chicago, Master Harry Diamond, who
plays the mandolin and other instrument.
Wherever Kuvnnngh has appeared a second
time his audiences liavo been larger than be
fore. This will undoubtedly bo the hut
chance to hear this wonderful sluger. He is
fourteen yeirs old, und his voice may change
auy week or day. Its soprano quality will
then Iw gone foi ever.
