V 1 r f t. FoPallAR mPER -oP AVPDERN TIMES " Vols. G No. a 3 Lincoln, Nhhiuska, Saturday, July liO, 1(301. F"UIOIC FlVtfi OlCNTS ' - f. r V H UssssWsssssU-XAssiRoissssssssssiS"sssssssssslsssHssrj Victor Rosewater, anon of tho alitor of the Omaha lice, has written nil ItitorcKthiR letter describing Fattl'swstle In Wales, and relate how lie came to dunce with the dlu. It Is probable that I'attl will Ik) heard In America asaln next winter, Although she demands $50tK a night and will not utter m ttote until the money has been paid over, two managers are trying to make nn engagement with her. Marcus Mayer luu olTcrcil her her price to sing two numbers each evening In a series of concerts. Maurice Orau wanfo her to head a grand aiern company, find tells her It woukl look like a oonfeeslon of old age to take to the concert stage. Mow I'attl resents any Insinuation that she Is losing her grip, but at the name time she loves to toko life easy If there Is a much money in It. Mayer Is alio wild to have wore Influence with her than any other manager, and it seems likely that she will appear In concert. That deems to bo the Impression iliat young llosewater got while visiting the songstress. Of course the teachers at tho national con vention In Toronto had a bout at reform In snelliiiK Ennllsh words. They talked and talked and talked, and of course that Is al' it amounted to. The telegraph tells us they spelled step s-t-e-p and hen h-o-n, but when they put the two (words together and wade Htephen there was great laughter. Of course. It is easy enough to oint out the inconsist encies of English orthography, but where U the remedy! What Is the use of ringing the changes on dough, plough, through, tough, etc) It has lieen done, a million times, more or less, but that doesn't help matters. Al most everyone admit the desirability of pho netic selling, and tho moat practical thing the teacher's or philological socletioM cuu do is to olfer a reward for a scheme to fusuro its adoption. I said "almost anyone" because there are a few egotistical pendants who want tho old forms retained so that they may trace English words back to their Greek or J.atln roots. These old fogies dearly lovo to impress the world with the profundity or their learning, but like any other snob they ought to get out of the road of progress. What Is that sense which leads men to do disagreeable, dtfllcult and even dangerous things In the line of duty that they cannot be coaxed or bribed into doing otherwise f How often does an employer vainly try to er suade an employee to do something out-of-hours at an exorbitant price that he will will ingly do in the ordinary routine of duty for u trills? Every person who bos hud occasion to deal much with men must have been struck with this peculiarity in human nature. The delegates to the nutlonul convention of the Young People's Society of Christian En deavor held at Minneapolis probably notion! J. W. Baer, tho national secretary. He Is u handsome fellow with the pleasant maimer and iersoual magnetism which nuike so many men popular. Hut what a change In the young muu. A few jenis ago ho was connected with a society paper in Iowa, and wus a shining light in social circles. While ho was not wicked or wild, ho did not object ton little (-port or u jolly flirtation. He married the daughter of Mr. Van Dusen, the grain king of Minnesota, and took charge of father-in-law's coal department at the head olllce in Rochester, Minn. The llrm hud ele vators at eighty railroad statlous on thu line of the Northwestern railroad from Winona to the Missouri river in South Dakota. Each of the agents sold coul as well us bought grain. It wits Ilaer's duty to see that the ngentH were supplied with coul and to look ufter their reports. The coal came to Wino na in train loads and he designated how it should bo distributed. The concern was so largo that it thought nothing of buying coal in fr.'fO' 000 lots. liaer had an assured position with a handsome salary, not to iiientUii the prospect of a big fortune from his father-in-law, but ho chose to lay it aside to take thu secretaryship of the Y. P. S. C. E which carried him to Boston. Having known him I can understand how the nurrow life and small round of duties In a little town became irksome to him and he longed for the active life and larger sociability of a city. Boer, by the way, went through the torna do which destroyed two or three huudred houses In Rochester ten years ago. He was Hat on bis back right in the path of the storm demon, but It jumped over hi house, smashing those on both sides of him. Home good souls may regard this as a providentlul Interposition to save him for tho work he is engaged in, but I cannot help thinking, What about the hundred other persons who were killed! Among the guests at a social utTulr the other evening was a well known lady whoso husband hud died within the six months. She was a looker-on at the gayety, but she gently urged her young daughter to join the other young people In their dancing. Of course there were people who criticised this as Improper because the fashionable period of mourning had not expired. It occurs to me that this Is a place where charity of opin ion might join common sense and keep cap tious mouths closed. Society has preicribed sombre clothing and abstlnenco from amuse ment as befitting those who have lost a dear one. But these are only forms and prove nothing. It does not follow that the observ ers of these forms feel as truly bereaved as others who do not make an ostentatious show of the trappings of woe. Why should the world judge of the reverence you or I feel for a departed one by the blackness of our clothing or the solemnity of our conduct! What right have other people to pass judg ment on us In such a matter! Simply the right which moral cowardice gives to lm)e tluence and intolerance, To tell the truth I admire the lady who has made a text for this item, 1 know that she and her daughter dearly loved the husband and father who has gone tefom and revere his memory, hut the mother has an Intellect that rises above the etty bonds of tashlonnblo dictum The dally pajwrs recently contained an ac count of the death of a young man w hose de mise wus attributed to thu use of cigarettes. As might havo been uxiiected, the journals which consider humanity's progress ami welfare as their especial trust have hurst out Into denunciations of the pernicious practice of smoking cigarettes. 1 have su.mi suveial thousand men, young and old, pulTat tliu lit tle paper tut, but I cannot truthfully say that I know of one who Is tho worse for It. I have a moral certainty, however, that a big percentage of these men are doomed to pay sevcro penalties, because these newspa pers have told mo so. They have demon strated to their own satisfaction that no one can smoke cigarette without direful results, and It eems to be only a question of time when all mokers of this klud will dlo off. This state of affairs is really alarming. If It continue much longer there will be no men lef t to die of drunkenness and oint a terri ble example. Even Consumption, that vigi lant and Industrious sleuth hound, Is liable to run out of material. This cigarette habit is a curse to the race and it ought to be curbed to give the other curses a chance to earn their wages. These politicians are' great fellows for springing sensations. Now they propose to elect a governor this fall with the idea that ho will step Into olllce and displace Gov. Thayer until the next regular election in 1802. Unfortunately for the scheme thoro are several difllculties in the way. In tho llrst place the constitution provides that tho governor fchall be elected in even numbered years. It also provides that his vote shall be canvassed by the legislature, but there would have to be a special session to curry out that provision next winter. No one but Gov. Thayer can convene the special session, and of course he would not le a party to cutticg his own otllcial throat. The fact of the mat ter Is thae the constitution never contemplat ed the election of a governor between times. If u vacancy were to occur now In one of tho other state offices it would be tilled by the governor by appointment, but nt the election next fall a new olllcer would bo elected to llll the place for the unexpired term. Hut there is ho similar provision relative to the governorship. In the case of u va cancy the lieutenant governor steps In. That Is what he is elected for, chleliy. To still further guard against an interregnum tho constitution still further provides that In case of tho death or disability of both gover nor and lieutenant governor the speaker of the house of representatives shall act as the chief executive. The K)liticians must have something to gossip about, the same as other eople, and perhaps we ought not to be too severe on them. DoaiMtlo Item. Judge Fetcrby said to his colored servant. "You will have to quit. You attend to four work very well, but I am always miss ng things about the house, and every time It Is you that takes them." "Boss, don't send me off on dat account.

The wolf was knocking at the door. I can hardly refrain from saying he had knocked lieforc, hut that would ho running into poe try: and tho editor has said it must be prone, I knew theie w-ere brilliant gems burled burs led within me, (deeply burled), so I cast aside my timidity, which has been my iiilu, and wrote to a prominent publisher, asking if I could le of any use to him in his Hue of bus iness. The answer came speedily, (I had told him about the wolf.) "Why ceitalnly madam, you can help us and we should like to help you;'' (a game of reciprocity you ob serve) "Just cond something original, somo now thoughts, your btter was quite spicy." I ondcred on the task Imposed in exchange for the ducats. ''Oilglnal", "Home new thoughts." Home great writer has written that our present originality Isj but the thresh ing over again of old straw. My eorresxnd ent was an eastern man. If he hail been on the broad and expansive (should be written exiensive) prairies of the west, Inhaling vast whiffs of nature's elixir, ho would know the very evident fact that originality was de ceased and buried lieyond any hope of future resuscitation. Another Item wanted, was "something new and bright about noted peo ple". You remember he complimented my letter; people always do. He felt In uti In stant I was bright. I am but new bright ness. Ah I That Is another thing. The brightness of today Is simply the brightness of yesterday tiollshed up a little. Don't Charles D. Warner say everything has lieen told! All' topics touched iqionf Why don't he say exhausted! as far us any freshness is concerned. He says the jokes on noted ho pie have Iteen with us from the beginning, brought out at intervals uud titled to new weureis. I have read a joke or two in his budget, that were related in our family us lielonglng to ourselves. However, 1 agree with him Originality is a myth, more mythical than heathen mythology. It Is the inuuuer that preserves ufter till; uud I say if one can take mi old thought in a pluiti dingy garb one that has been worn thread-bare uud clothe It allow in such an active manlier, us to muke it remembered, he is a beucfuctor, not only to the original producer, but the present era. 1 will tell something original right here. Now that there never was a Helen or Troy, what matters it! In a grad uating class u young lady read a good essay on "Beautiful Women." At one stage of the proceedings she let Helen fall ill the arms of her lover, Priam. I claim thut us u new idea about a noted iiersou. Diamonds, pearls and ull the gems hud lieen used but not one had oiK'lied a mine uud reduced thu business to dollars. "Eureka" she cried, "I shull have tlie ideu patented;" "I shall put a fence around that;" Hut alas, ulusl Uuiure the fence was built she enjojed the Incompara ble pleasure of reading "Ies Miserable," mid there lucked away lu a snug corner wus her coined thought. She had novel reail thu book, nor even thu thought in print; so when two or more have the sumo thought, who owns It! Oncu upon a time I tiled writing some Hues to lit a favorite melody; Ono staua of another song stuck In my head. It wus "iierfumo sandaled feet." 1 tiled all other kind of feet lu vulii except thirteen feet, that 1 felt would lie certain death. Even Chicago feet fulled. 1 turned to an ad miring audience and told them I would have to Iku row tho line in question; it Just fitted tho accent of tho music I bonowed it, en closed it In quotation murks, had it printed, had it complimented. Home time after, wus reading Virgil found it almost exact, How to the song 1 hud robbed to see if it wus a quotation. I found quotation marks were very conspicuously absent. And, Is not a woman getting ready to prove "Looking Backward" a fraud! She things it lienrs en tirely too strong a resemblunce to "Woman In the past, present and future," written years ago by a germau author, August Bebel. No, thoro is no originality. The eastern man may have thought wo would wander about between durk and daylight In search of toothsome morsels sweetened by tho dews of heaven; but not so. Wo opened tho door and let the wolf lu. Originality is too source und exeuslve for poor folks. In cons elusion is ther anything original (except Helen of Troy) In this! If not adieu for tho present. Cohinni:.
