Out if tho much life and many discomforts of camp life mako one bet ter satisfied with, Us nwiarexlstence'nn out? ing of that kind will have served a good pur 1K80. Tho newspaper men who visited Hosts lngs last Sunday found the State University cuilets in camp within a mile of tho city and near a park owned by Hon. Hicbard Berlin. They wero oncanied in nil ojien field and tho accommodations would bo thought Intoler able at homo, but tho boys wero having a good timo. They were freed from many of tho restraints of conventional life, romped to their heart's content, magnified tho endur ance of personal discomfort Into something aklu to heroism, won tho admiration of the peoplo of Hastings and enjoyed tho Impres sion they made on tho fair daughters of that handsome city. Tho young fellow who has tho right sort of respect for the good opinion of good womon has a pretty good anchor to his llfo bout, and the university cadets nro nil right in that re spect as well as In most others . On Saturday evening last their fair admirers gave a ball In their honor, which I am sure the gallaut boys In blue appreciated to the fullest. A prime mover in tho enterprise seems to have been MIfs Lllu Weeks, who has visited in Lincoln, attended paities here and mude many friends. It was ono of thee impulsive, warm-hearted nets peculiar to American girls, ouo of those spirited things that only American gli Is cun curry through with the convictiou that everything Is proper hich they do by their sovereign right as American queens. Among tho chaperones was Mrs. Senator Frank Taggart, not long ago a Lin coln girl, a charming woman who has many friends and admirers heie. Tho boys wero overflowing with compliments for their party , and it Is almost u pity tho Hastings girls could not have beard them. Dyo-tbo-Dye has been besought to "say something nwful nice" about the party and Its fair promoters, but one of th'e cadets who was present has written the following enthus iastic account, which is given in preference to anything which I might writo from hear say: During tho encampment occurred one of tho most novel and pleasing entertainments yet given in that bustling city. The young ladles of Hastings were counting upon a ball to bo given by tho Hastings boys to t le en dots and on hearing that tho boys bad given it up they determined that It should come of. It was frequently hinted that the Hastings boys wero jealous of tho inroads which the cadets bad made upon tho affections of tho Hastings girls, and they determined to aban don it. Whether this bo true or not, thoro would not havo been any party had not the young ladies taken hold of tho affair. Tho scheme was started by three enterprising young ladles, Misses LI la Weeks, Mab!e Nays and Edith Yetter, about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, and by 0 o'clock the promised at tendance of nealy all the young ladies of Hastings was obtained. The above named young ladles had entiro control of tho party, and nt 0 o'clock ono of the prottlest grand marches was lead by Miss Liln Weeks, tho mistress of ceremonies, and Mr. E. E. Gilles pie of Lincoln, after which fifteen numbers and five extras wero danced. Tho fact that this dance was arranged by tho young ladles, who met all tbo expenses and superintended it entirely, produced such an effect upon the cudets that it became necessary to "call out the guard" during the night to make them quit talking about tho girls In their sleep the red dresses especially, Tho affair was u brilliant success, and the cadets will never forget tho young ludles of Hastings. When they arrived home Monday they called for "THE PEACEMAKER," after Marcus Stone. throe cheers and n tlgor for the Hastings young Indies, and It was responded to by every cadet. The following young ladies in addition to those already named articlpatcd, being chaKroncd by Senator and Mrs. Tng gert and Mr. and Mrs. Dallas: Misses Laura Cooper, Anna Dreed, Louise Angel, Via Downs, Lottie Dreed, Eva Doltocher, Kit Hnrtignn, Mnud Faxon, Llzzlo Mines, Zora Harlockcr, Mao Myers, Ollio Harlocker, Ad dle Morrll, Lizzie Jennings, Edith Huyzlett, Graco Dillon, Nellie Klrby, Stella l'ayno, Fredn Wahlqulst, Laura Dllloy, Floy Work and the Misses 1'icrson. Shaking of outings, that of the Lincoln newsNior mon last Sunday will linger long In tho memory of the fortunate participants. The Durlington & Missouri River railroad has advertised Its superior conveniences with the enthusiasm of a man who knows ho has a good "thlngv wild "when GerierhrTassenger Agent Francis proposed to provo it on tho newspaper men of Lincoln you may bo sure they submitted with happy expectation. A trip to Hustings was planned, because it en abled tho scribblers to take the west bound flyer atOn. m., viow a pretty city, visit tho university cadets in camp nnd reach home on tho east bound flyer at 2:20 p. m. Tho pro gram called fur two hundred-mile rides on fast trnitis, four hours iu Hastings, two meals on tho cars, and whon you think of tho short time in which It wus to occur you will legin to get nn impression of the facilities offeml by the D. & M. The train left on tho tick, nnd the following gentlemen wero comfortabley enscoused iu Supt. Dlgnoll's privnto cars Hon. C. II. Gero nnd Geo. H. Daughmanof tho Journal, II. M.

Heutli of the Nebraska Fanner, Jacob North and Fred Williams of tho Commercial Oazeteer, L. D. Woodruff of the Journal of Commerce nnd L. Weasel, jr., Fred Deuzlngcr and Mark Uuford of the Couhikh. City Agent Zlomer was assigned to represent tho Durlington and euro for its guests. Ho mude an admirable chaperono as well as a worthy representative. The tourists enjoyed the novelty of a beau tiful sun-rise and discussed tho magnificent country through which they wero being whirled, and an early breakfast wus an nounced almost before they had prepared their appetites. This Incident is characteristic of the liberal manogoment of the D, & M. This meal was gotten up nt an unusually early hour to occommodato these early risers, undu special menu was provided at that. Tho din ing car "Durlington" happened to be on tho train, nnd tho travelers found one of tho most olegunt and convenient coaches in this Jlno of tbo servico. The comfort of dining in ono of these cars Is something to be valued and enjoyod. The meals compare with tho best class of hotelit. nnd tlin nrvln la mlmlr. ablo.

On arriving at Hastings the tourists were met by a party of newspaper and business men, who bundled the visitors into carriages for a long drive. Then followed visits to tho asylum for insano, the oil well, various insti tutions, and tho cadet camp, a ten o'clock luncheon at the Dostwiek, a stop at the cozy club rooms and several short but clever speeches. In ono of these Mr. Zlemer was presented with a D. I. O. E. watch charm as a memento of tho occasion. The visitors were very handsomely entertained, and by their drive they found Hastings to be a re markably handsome city. "There are many tino homes, and tbo citizens evidently take much pride in cultivating beautiful lawus. The city has begun a system of publlo parks that ought to put Lincoln to the blush. Hast ings' business bouses as well as Its homes seem to be all occupied, and the city has a healthy, prosperous appearance, The entertainment provided the visitors by the representative men of the city was rather unexpected, and it was so generous us to bring expressions of liveliest gratitude front many pencils. On the loturn trip tho tourists enjoyed the luxurious cuu that the Ilurlington grants. The train whlzred nlong nt tho into of forty miles nn hour, but the road bed Is excellent nnd there was but little jar. They went through the train to admire tho luxuries ami tho olegnncles provided by tho Durlington, and in tho prevailing high wind the security of tho vestibule wns generally remarked. In all dejwirtments of the train they found the equipment mid the servico of tho finest. Some of tho Durlliigton's advertisements udviso peoplo not to mnko experiments by trying other lines, and the Lincoln nowsnaner men nro ready to endorse the proposition that tho Durlington carries nut tiro promises of its ads.

At tho closo of that meeting Mr. Mahler will go to Snrntogn to begin his work as master of ceremonies nt Congress Hall.

Thero nro a number of aspirants for tho man agement of tho new Lincoln bouo, prominent among whom are Dob Mclloynolds, now pre siding over tho destinies ol Funke's, and Ed. Church, n man of considerable experience in theatrical mutters, both well known In Oma ha, 'thero has been soriio complaint against tho management of tho Fmike, and tho new house will probably decide to stnrt In with n fresh man. Church has tho buslnes down pat, bus hosts of friends, nnd should ho gather iu tho snap ho will glvo the (introus of his houso complete satisfaction. There's n g sod deal In having u popular malinger, und Church is popular." It bus been given out that Crawford & Mclloynolds have negotiated another leaso of Funke's opera house, which apparently dls ksos of Mr. MoReynolds ns n possible man ager of another theater, Tho Ilrjiuhllvan'a commendation of Ed. Church Is undoubtedly deserved, bocnuso It Is but tho echo of whnt theatrical )eoplu nnd others sny of him. Mr. Church has lieon in tho business in Lincoln and knows tho people ho would havo to enter to. Ho has a large acquaintance among the atrical managers, nnd hns a strong pull on their good will. Every tlmo thero Is mention of n new Lincoln theater in nil eastern dra matic paper Mr. Church receives u shower of letters from theatrical men making Inquiries. This fnct of itself Indlcntes how ho stands with tho profession, and the iw'plo of Lincoln have confidence iu him because he has stood between them nnd fraudulent erformuuces, Ed. Church kees posted nnd knows which shows ore "snide." Ho has the courage, too, to protect tho publlo from them, and he has the confidence of tho peoplo iu retuni. Mr, Dlgelotv cannot find a better man In Lincoln than Ed. Church to manage his new house. T11K EDKN MUtUSK.

A ROYAL YACHT SUIT, Special Correspondence of tho Couhikh. New Yokk, Juno 2, 18IK). Permit mo to present to you today her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales as sho appears iu a roccut photograph, for which sho sat iu her newest Rodferu yachting gown. It is of white Isle of Wight serge, tho strljiul tortious of the waist nnd sleeves being formed by rows of durk blue Hercultti braid, every row of which Is finished by a guilt anchor button, us though it wero u stried vest buttoned on to tho bodico, A black or dark blue kerchief of silk Is passed curelesHly about the neck nnd its ends nro slipped through an onyx ring.and thou pinned low on the breast with a white enamel burgee. At tho throat sho wears tho flag brooch of the Royal Yacht Squadron of, which club the prince has been for many years tho commodore. Arrayed In such n costume as this, of which sho generally orders a half dozen or more at u tlmo from her favorite tailor, the Princess goes down to Cowos a short timo before the Goodwood races, and there steuds ou loard tho roynl yacht, Osborne, some two months of idyllic, out door life under blue skies and warm sunbenms, and invigorated by the fresh salt breezes which blow from Splthead and Co wee roads, "Can the visitors of Cowcs get a gllmpte of tho royal imrtyT' I asked Redfcrn, the other day. "Oh, yes, easily, Tho yacht Is moored about a half mllo off tho shore, and any one can take n boat and row around it. Why, 1 was rowing alxut ono dny, and I saw the prince in his shirt sleeves vigorously lalorlug with two hair brushes at his morning toilet, just like nny country squire."

And the princess is as simple and unaffected as posslblo, and amuses herself with as little ostentation as any of her well-bred subjects would do. She often takes a small Una, what you would cull a cat lioat over here, aud snllr ubout by the hour, quite alone. When her children were younger, the young princes wero tuugbt to row aud to fish, and there wus a Urge tloatlug lith for them and their sitters, placed just oposite Osborne house.
