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.

ORIGINALITY.
Written Corfu K Co DIM Kit.
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:.
