Anothor scare has gone glimmering, dis
pelled by tho colli logio of sober fait. A few
years ago many good people with the supro
macy of tho white men very much at heart,
wero alarmed by tho story that tho negros of
the United States were increasing much
faster than the whites, and threatened to
overrun tho continent In tliuo and control
tho government by the pure force of numbers.
The census of 1830 was quoted to support the
theory, and it did lend some color to the
alarm. The census of last year, however,
shows that the whiter increase 1 In number
more rapidly In the western states than tho
colored people, and that part will settle an
other scare. It is now assert I that the
census of 1870, being so soon after the war,
and whilo there was a rare II nil t in progress
in the south, did not report the full number
of colored people. Hence tho enunieratlo u
of 18N), takon with more care, indicated an
abnomlnal Increase among the negros.

The irnpers In tho other cities having west
ern association baso ball clubs have awaken
ed to tho fact that Lincoln has a team that
will make 1 he fastest of them "get a hustle on
'em," to use the expressive idlnw of the day.
early in the winter, because Lincoln was not
as largo as some other towns in the associa
tion, the arrogant big papers prodlcUnl that
Nebraska's Capital city would have no club,
or if it did that it would be too weak to
amount to anything. The change in their
tono sli.ee they havo seen the makeup of our
club is something amusing, and none more o
than that of the Omuha Ilee. The sporting
reports of that sheet in times past got the pe
culiar idea tn his head that by depreciating
Lincoln he magnified the glory of Omaha as
a sporting town, and he has lost no opportun
ity to sneer at the Capital ity. For two or
three wee'es past, every since Lincoln's full
club was nnuouueed, he has been tumbling
nvtr himself warning Omaha that it had "no
pudding" (to use his classic style) in our
team. Last Sunday ho advised Omaha
cranks who might follow their club down
here to buy round ti ip tickets beore stur.t
iug. When it is remembered that Lincoln has
won the majority of games in w Inch the two
cities weie pitted against each other, all this
"guff" (another classic Omahafsiu) is ex
tremely funny. Hut the llee man's change of
front is not so much for the pin k of ac
knowledging Lincoln's stiength or to wain
Omaha's enthusiasts. From a review of the
records of our players be measures the abili
ty of our team, and he issues his warning to
Omaha in order to lie in a position to say, "1

"Of what sex are angelsf asked a (.mart
friend tho other day. "Female, of course,"
was the reply. "There! you make the same
mistake that everybody else does. If jou
will read tho Illble catefully you will discov
er that none of the angels of which it fcpeaks
have feminine attributes They have mascu
line names to begin with, ond are described
as though they were male beings. Another
thing. This idea of representing angels with
wings is another big mistake. The sci iptures
do not represont its angels as having wings,
and that is purely a human invention. An
gels are Hiposod to embody all that Is Kweet
and beautiful, and as no man could till the
bill, the early christians selected lovely wom
an as tho typo of nngello perfection. Then
again, angels weie supposed to move alxmt
through spuco, and tho only physical appara
tus for that purpose known to man was n
pair of wings such as birds use. A H-ifect
wimr Is a beautiful thing in itself, and so it
Is very easy to see how man cumo to picture
and to speak of angels as female Isjiugs hav
ing wings with which to lly through illimita
ble space.
In a way every clti.en of tho United States

of any Kugllshmau who expresses contempt

ling , however, to notice that ceiteiu Eng
lish papers are o'iily expressing the wish
that Queen Victoria Mould retire and let his
rojal nibs, the l'ritue of U ales boss the regal

much a lover of her own ease to run a con
tinuous ceremonial show, and the younger

Lincoln is a metropolitan city at last.
There can be no doubt of It, for we now have
two men paiadlug the streets at night, a big
tin bucket in one hand, a basket in the other,
and waking the echoes of th, dark hours by
shouting, "Wleiwrwurstl Hot wlenerwurst!"
Do you know that Ic isa growing custom in
the East to present relatives and friends with
Easter gifts A few years ago it was a
dainty tiling to send a beautiful card with
some decoration symbolic of the day or a
bunch of Dowers. The mania for giving bus
grown among the well to-do who wish to
impress friends with their ability to buy
things, and it is quite the proper coper to dis
tribute expensive gifts. So much so is this
the case in some circles, that in the larger
cities dealers in bric-a-brac and articles of
virtue make a special display of bits of tine
and costly wear for tho purpose, and many
of them have no connection with the religi
ous signification of the day whatever.
V
It is safe to say, however, for the benefit of
Lincoln youi'g men, thut a pretty Easter
card or a few cut llowers aie in bettor taste
if they wish to jwy a compliment to some
lady fayre, mid one cau hardly name a pret
tier way of expressing that nice sentiment
among men which is something less than
loo and something more than formal friend
liness. Nothing is more grateful to a high

the other hand, tho Iwiiitlful Easter curds
now in vogue have the merit of being a last

Sienkiiigof society in the East, what a
funny thing it Is in Its selection of fad; for
example, when I'lirmenclta, the Siiiuish
dancer, appeared in Lincoln last season sho
crcatctt no seuuiiion, uu I to our wuy or
thinking, the loud slumping of her feet and
other actions weie nither coarse and not cal
culated tn fnsplio udmiintlon. The effect III
Lincoln was not exceptional, Ikx'buso this al
leged beauty of custllllim race alt i acted no
gieat notice throughout her tour. On. her
return to New York she legitu dancing in
concert hall of doubtful reputation. By
some mysterious operation of chance she
soon became an object of fashionable atten
tion, and It was "the thing" in the hlglctou
od, exclusive circles of (iotliam to go and see
Cariiiem IU d nice. Of course the plea was
that the visitors were simply called to the
low theatre by their admiration of art. The
truth is that the belles of Murray Hill, suf
fering from the ennui of being good, wanted
to do something naughty to relieve the mo
notony. Under tho pretense of paying hom
age to art they i rally went "slumming".
These, dainty ladies, who made up parties for
tho boor gal den, sat uinong the abandoned
women of tlcj town and wero wrapped III the
fumes of tobacco and beer. What n queer
freak for high bied, pure-liiiuded women.
After tho death of Gen. Sherman an enter
tainment for a monument fond was given at
a hlghtoned theatre, mid Carmeuclta paitlri
paUsl. This created no enthusiasm, and Is
said to have fcored u failure. Outside of the
surroundings of the concert hall she was com
monplace, and one of the curious results of
theuiralristhatshe is in it fair way to bo
dropped as a fashionable fad. 'Die belles
have discovered it new freak in the person of
Jennie Hill, u homely, coarse and very cock
ney lied example of the Loudon music hull vo
calist. See is forty-five years old, but she
pictures the tough girls of IiOiidou, doncher

What a shammer society is some tiniest
A lady friend sends mo tho following in
which much logic is to lie found;
Mothers have a cure that you do not urge
your children iuto society lefore they are
men and women uud able to resist the allur
ing temptations of the social world. A moth
er is too often Mattered by the attention paid
her pretty i oung daughter by some society
swell, and before she Is through playing with
her dolls, launched into the dizy whirl,
where, often a few mouths bus no gi eater de
sire than to help toss uud catch the reputa
tion ball of any one who may tie so uiifoitu
note as to bo within or without the, narrow
circle. Tho happy and Innocent doll amplia
tions are tiaiisformed Into the more Injurious
atliiosplieioof this social whirl. If there Is
any one time win ii the "no I of lion" should
be used it is at the time when the daughter
