The newspaper boys Imvo occasion t'j 10 Jolce with other people ovor tho selection of 1'rof. Cnulleld of Kansas as chancellor of tliu University of Nebraska. The new chancel lor greets nowspnper men with n cordial wel come and volunteers the assurance that lio appreciates the ower of the press nml means to use It for the benefit of the university. Ho has Riven the reortci h to understand that ho will lio glad to nee them and to give theiu all possible information about the uni versity and its work. He even contemplate having a hook in his private den upon which to hang iiiuuiorandn of matters of intet est, jottlug thcui down hastily as they occur and thus giving the rcortei8 hints which they may elaborate by making further Inquiry of the chancellor. Too many men at the head of public Institutions regard reporteis as Paul Prys, usJnipectinent nuisances who are to bo snubbed. Chancellor Cautleld fays the state univeisity belongs to the jieoplo and the people are entitled to all possible infor mation about it, which he will aid In giving. The new chancellor has made a good impres sion on our people, and there is reason to lo lleve that Aho .university will flourish under his energetic rulo us It never has before. Speaking of .the .University, are not the big schools with which Lincoln Is blessed u greater source of wealth and piosperity to tbo city thou most ipeoplo lealfzei Lincoln has grown to such it shru that there Is very little apparent difference to most of us whether tbo universities are in session or not, but a little rejection teaches us that there juust of necessity bo .considerable diffeieuco to the city ua whole. For example, with 500 students drawn from outsldd we know that they must dlsti ilmto among Lincoln peo ple, a large mm of money every month for board alone. Then there arc the Important items of lodging, books and incidentals. It is quite likely that many of tlio students, coming from smaller places, improve, the ops portuuity to by clothing while in Lincoln. It will be readily admitted that the colleges bring thousands of dollais to the Capital City every year, and the money helps the town quite Jis much as.though it were drawn in by some commercial enterprise that kept iUelf constantly in tho.publle eye by its ac tivities on the street and in the papers. Prof. Jlerrmau, the trick artist who has wystliied tho world for thirty-live years, has taken a loid off my .uilnd. For many years we huvo read of .the marvelous feats of the East Indian jugglers, until some of us have almost been led to .think that they were u"" , 7 ""; ,,.'" ,. aided by some aupwuatu.al power. He nuan has Investigated them and finds their art crude instead of marvelous. In the first place, lie was not able to Jlnd a juggler who could throw a string into tho air and then climb up It out of sight. He attributes yarns of Uiat kind to the exaggeration of credulous travelers. We have all lead of tho Indian juggler who plants set-Is In u flower pot, covers it with a cloth, makes some incantations and then, removing the cloth, revealsagrowlnginougoplant. When Herrmon saw the trick done the juggler wore a loose, flowuig suit, in .which he had the muiiifo nlunt concealed. After working ou the sujerstltious of the Indians he walked around the pot and by sleight of hand sub stituted tike mango plant, ut the same time maintaining to the credulous onlooker that the plant had grown there. Xu auothor instance a juggler wearing nothing hut a breech clout placed a cobra on the ground,covered it with a cloth, went through his rJgamarole, raised the cloth and the snake u'u gone. Uerriuan, however, saw through the trick. At ono point in the proceeding the Juggler beut ovor and raised the cloth slightly as if to rear range It. Tlie cobra, a trained reptile, un derstood tlte signal and leaped into his breach clout, where it lay out of light. Herruian had thought of engaging an ludlau juggler as an assistant, but after examining their work he concluded they would not compare with a good American artist. They have u few tricks like those ineutioned, but they never Invent anything new and their work would not stand the test of critical American audiences. V Said a Beatrice man ill the city the other day: "I would rather have stock in our Chautauqua assembly than hi the Standard Oil company." That was rather a startling proposition, and when pressed for uu explan ation he said: "Why, simply because it Is (laying a big interest ou the investment. Last year Tulmage preached a sermon here one Sunday, and how many peoplo do you think turned out to hoar him 1 Why, 35,000," he continued, without waiting for an an swer. "I know that sounds big, but the tick et sales showed the attendance, People came from all parte of the state, and they just ate up everything in town. Talmage got $500 for bis sermon, and you can figure the profit for yourself. The admission was !M cents." Dr. Talmage has remarkable drawing quali ties, to use i theatrical term, and from a bus iness standpoint his discourses are valuable In proportion. Headers of the CouiUKH are among tho fortunate oues to get noted ser mons regularly. Each one of them, probably , Is quite as good as tho Beatrice effort, and It costs the reades but a nickel, while ho may enjoy it at their leisure and In comfort. It U one of the features of tho Couiukr thojt wins it many readers among the best people. Probably no happier celebration of tho glorious Fourth, tho national day of freedom, can be found in Nebraska than the quiet, un demonstrative celebration arranged by Uov, Thayer. Under a law passed two years ago he has pardoned two convicts, who go free today. Both were sentenced for life. One has been conlliied for twenty years and the other for thirteen. It Is hard to conceive how a man can be happier than one who es capes a living death, but there Is little doubt that the governor will get more genuine pleasure out of his art of mercy than any man over got out of tlio flr of 111 a work. It surely mttt lw a happy day for pardoner and pardoned. One thing seem to lie apparent lit connec tion with the little street ear system. It Is i mi by men who understand the business and have the money to start it out in the way it ought to go. Elcctrtu cars ari'i now running on U stteet as well a Tenth, and other Hues will bo electrlllod a soon its they can be equipped. Hut one of the most notable changes is the approaching arrangement of the various lines ho that all the cars will go around government square, Just as In Boston all car lines radiate from Hcully square, In New York from Howling Green and In Chi cago, to a considerable extent, from State and Madison titreots. This enables a jiemon to go to n central point a catch a car going in any direction, and is a groat convenience. The late Ilrowu line lunulug out to Universi ty Place lias Just been connected with the main system near the Capital hotel, and is already equipped with ulectrlclty. In n few days It will lie jom,iblo to ride seven miles for a nickel and without changing cars, and the consolidation of tlio various com panies gives Lincoln ono of the biggest and (lnest street car systems of any city of its size in the country. Speaking of Boston, lb uir system is one of the Institutions that will puzzle a stranger. The writer once had occasion to take a car from the Adam house and watched for one to cQiuo along. Car after car witli tho prop er label passed by but tlioy were all going in tho wrong direction. Finally, in n lit of des peration, he boarded one of them and tried to solve the riddle by quizzing tho driver. Yes, the car was going to the x)lut mention ed, but it would take about all hour and a half to get thoie, although it was not over a flftoeiisiiilnute walk distant. Tho Boston cars, or some of them at leust, travel around a certain circuit and all uro headed the same way, or w era at the time in question. Sup pose tho University Placo lino were connect ed with the Cottier university Hue, making a complete circuit, and, In hqpe of some pa troimge from Uethany.Uolghtlis, a banner was hung out reading, "Tuta cur for the ball game." A struugor stopping at the Capital hotel, attracted by the banner, might natur ally take that car If lie wanted to seo a ball game. Well, be would get there, but you can Imagine his fetlliigs after first traveling to University Place and Bethany Heighths.
