I I i , It RbFdliXR- RPER-oPAopcRN .TIMES Vot,. 6 No 3 Lincoln, Nebraska, Saturday, AunwMt. 1 letOl. Prick Iivic Cunts V I . c i V . 35H fc A great deal ot Njiort bus Iwn inudo of tho now law in Massachusetts which permit o man to got drunk twice n year without pun ishment by tlio olleo court, but thu wit have l)eou too busy with tholr quips anil quirks to Rive n fair, Intelligent Idea of tho law. Thoy aro excusable on tho ground thai it in tholr business not to bo serious, but when oue comes to examine the law there is lots of Rood stnse in it. It wus draughted by the Massachusetts Prison association witn lmmanu ends In view. Tho general practice nil over tho country when h man Is urrvsted for druukenness Is to line hi, and If he can not pay tho lino to imprison him. This hurt bin self-resect, brands him ns u crlml nnl and In too ninny com Innocent wives nml children uro the chief sufferers. The Prison association has undertaken to lift humanity. Instead of treating drunken men an one common herd to be dlspared of by machine work, the association proposes to treat them us Individuals nnd give tho deserv imt ones a chance, ye two chanced. Many of those arrested for drunkenness aro not fre quent offenders. Under some special eircum stances they boenmo intoxk-uted eriiapH once or twice a year, while at other times they aro sober, industrious men and support lug families in a proper manner. To suck men imprisonment is a disgrace, a loss of come, perhaps n loss of position and may work serious harm to their families. The best thing is to to return them to their work and their families as soon as possible. Un der the new law when n man is arrested for drunkenness ho may sign a statement alleg ing that he has not been urrested for Intoxi cation twice before during Uie preceding twelve months. If the otllcer in charge or tho station lias no reason to think the state ment untrue ho may endorse It uud release the prisoner without looking him up. Tho law provides for "probation officers," who look up the man's record. If his statement proves true, his caso Is dropped; otherwise he is rearsested and run through the judicial mill. V This is a long step in advance of the old plan ot treating all prisoners of this eluss like so many cattle, and the Massachusetts association is deserving praise for injecting n little humanity into our courts, It is the duty of the probation officers to investigate ull arrests for drunkenness to determine the .rtcord of the offender In the post. Thoy re port to tho judges, who, in the case of hubll uul drunkards, have data from which to graduate their sentences. Tho law ought to go still further. There Is llttlo doubt thnt hubltual drunkenness is due to a diseased con dition of the victims orgunism. Instead of clubbing mid Imprisoning men of this kind, society ought to send them to suitable hos pitals. Civilization muy yet reach thut plane of Immunity, A lady ot rorco remurked tho other duy thut she thought bicycle riding by women was vicious, and she clinched her urgument, as sho.thought, by asking: "How would you like to see your mother or your grandmother rldo u bicycle!" I will admit thut it would look odd. Hut why!" Simply because wo have uot been uecustomod to seeing elderly women riding wheels. Show me a picture or u woman with ouo or tho horrid chignons, fasblonulde ycurs ugo und usk mo: "How would you like to see your mother wearing oueof lliuef" Mothers did near tln-m uud we were so accustomed to the t.ight that wo thought nothing of it. Tho bore thought of reviving such u barbarity gives me a shud der, but I presume homo fool woman with more time on her hands than bruins in her head will revive the hideous fushlon. Hut what u poky oll world this would be H wo never did anything thut hail not been sanc tioned by the practice of our iarcnts. That sort of urgument is un appeal to prejudice and tho wonder is how people who are reas onably sensibly in anost things resort to such u petty urgument V Have you ever seen a woman preaching u riermnn from a pulpit i Probably not, and yet there are seven or eight hundred of them scattered over these glorious United States to testify to the widening scope of woman's oj)K)rtunltles. The Quakers have over three hundred female preachers, and next to them come tho Univorsallsts with aliout fifty. And right here in Lixcoln within the post ten days two women were nominated by a political imrty for two offices which erhaps ware never tilled by women in tho history of the world. The prohibitionists put Mrs, Hit tenbender, a full Hedged lawyer, in nomina tion for county judge and Miss Perky, u reg ularly admitted M. D for coroner. There It-n't chance of electing these lodlei, but their nomination Is a recognition or tho equality of the sexes and an evidence of thu sentiment that Is learning masculine humanity. The republican institutions of America have been held up by foreigners as breeders of corruption. Now what peculiar streak of human nature is it that gives us a thrill of satisfaction whenever wo read of political corruption in a foreign country We ought to deplore deprnvily wherever it may bo exs hlbited, but we don't. Just now they are airing a big political job over in Canada, and 1 confess to a mild glad-of-it feeling. The affair doesn't concern me in the remotest and the feeling is unreasonable, but I cannot help being glad of It nor of being glad that I am glad. I know you feel the same way. Now tell me why aro you glad In the years or life that have passed wo have had a great deal of theorizing about the beauty and pleasure and safety of know lug bow to swim, but thousands of Lincoln people never had iu practical utility pressed home to them until a few days ago, when Mill Bertie Burr laved Mitres Clara Walth and Then Uiws from drowning. Fortunate ly It Is relatively seldom that swimmers aro called to put their accomplishment to such a beneficent use, but w ho call measure its value III dollars and cent when It does accomplish such n rescue as in this easel It does seem as though there was no excuse for any loy not learning to swim and yet there aro such. A young lady in this same outing party last year fell out of a bout and a young man with her had to sit by in helpless agony. The young lady would have been drowned but for the timely assistance of another gen tleman who could swim. Of course the ma. jorlty of swimmers aro never called upon to save drowning ierwm but tho feeling of helpfulness If not of security which n swim mer always feels Is worth all the effort of learning the art ten times over, uot to men tion tho grntlllcatiou of practicing the art. Just recall the trepidation with which you have seen women embark on yacht or oven n steamboat. Compare it with the calm in surance of the swimmer who knows how easy it Is to keep alloat. The wise parent will see to it that his boh learns to swim and if he is wiser than his generation be will ex .tend this insistauce to his daughter. .No change of recent years has worked so great an improvement for Lincoln lu so short a time as the electric street car system under the management of Mr. F. W. Little. Money seems to have flowed like water in or der to give the Capital City one of the best systems of street car service In America. There has been an Intelligence somewhere, probably centered in Mr. Little, moving along numerous lines toward a common end its "git thar stroke" showed no moro effec tively than in the purchase and consolida tion of several linen Into one harmonious sys tem. Then think of tho wonderful improve ment of the service. There is the increased tjteed, a matter of pr'uio Importance in this ago. It not only carries one quicker, but it means moro round trips and couieipiontly frequenter service. This has been further in creased by the addition of more cars. Hut perhaps thu reader has already realized these ar.d nil the other advantages of tho change, but ho should not neglect to show his grati tude.to tho company that has wrought this magic change. V 1 thnt person who makes two blades of gru grow where only oue had been before is a benefactor of tho human race, what a heavy debt of gratitude must lie chnrged up to humanity for the deeds dono under the administration of Post muster Oere. Who can fail to have a painful recollection of tho barren waste, lit prototype of the mythical groat American desert thut spread over gov ernment square, sluimeri'ig in summer suns, wafted by whirling winds, it desolation to the eye uud a weariness of hoief And now, now u beautiful green sward spurkles in tho morning dew and through the torrid dog duys breathes comfort and consolation to the sweltering soul. May the beneficence of the editorial administration continues. It Is an acknowledged fact everywhere thut the advertising matter sent out by tho Pennsylvania lines is tho most artistic uud handsomest Issued by any railroad. I have often wondorod who tho genlous was uud where all tlio bruins originated that produced this effect. While in Philadelphia I met the subject of this paragraph, Mr. F. N. Harks ilale, uud candidly speaking, was somewhat ilisxnpolutrd in the gentleman's appearance. I had expected to meet tho conventional ad vertising agent who moro often looks like a wlerd uud worn out uewsiutper writer than a huiidsumo, robust und stylish gtnitlemau with the cougeulul air of u Wall street stock broker Mr. Hnrksdalo Is n gentleman of long and vurJtd eKerieucu In originating hikI writing railroad advertisements und tho result of his work which is seen in almost every city and huiuJet of America, speaks well for his artistic taste and literary ability His office is lu the mammoth headquarters building or tho compnay and Miported by an able coriw or weJl trained assistants, this part or the service has become oue of great nnd growing Uiqiortunce. Near at hand Is eveiy convenience for getting out "copy" and tho proper facilities for having his orders promptly and correctly attended to. The advertising bureau or the t'eunsyi vanlan company Is certainly a credit to that enterprising coiporation, a good share of which Mr. Barludale may justly take upon himself with becoming modesty. Beyond a doubt Cougress Hall und tho Kensington will lead lu thu merry-making events this season. Qenlal Jacob Mahler Ini tiated the season at the Congress last eve ning, and very much credit Is due hliu for the complete success or tho affair. Mr. Mah ler Is such a gentleman, a skilled manager of pleasing entertainments and the friend und favorite of all. Large was the attendance last oveniug, joyful everybody, glorious tho itnnoeM nml liefiiitifiil the costumes. Mrs. Jacob Mahler was arrayed In black falllo Franculse, veiled in La Tosca net gar landed with moss roses, diamond orna ments. The dainty little Miss Hosa Hue Mahler, sweet fairy daughter of tho pleosunt Master of Ceremonies, was seen in pule blue India silk with flowers. Mr. Mahler promises an entirely now Oxfoid Minuet to be dauccd at the third hop. TIs needless to say how happy all were during tho glorious hop, and how numerous the sighs ns o'er the bridge we made our way the lights that brightened our hearts and lightened our feet failing away behind us and so we wished for our downy couch, where, lulled to Bleep by pleasant thoughts and memories of the soft, melodious music, we may dream of our evening of delight and caper lu the merry dance again.

A more timely and valuable article could not ls itilillliod than thnt or Dr. Wm. A. Hammond on "How to Host."

"A friend or mine is spending some time lu the country nnd It Is arranged for me to go out for a day to teach her the art of uogliug. "You must go with me" said my friend, James C, Intimating also that he could glvo me points iu tlio ssjrt. Now my friend is n devotee of tho rod und reel, und his speclulty is tho gumey bass that Inhabit the northern lakes; so I was delighted to avail myself of tho opportunity to witness his skill, und to participate iu the pleasures of the excursion, Iicaviug St. Paul by an evening train, we sped northward, via. the St. Paul and Du luth R.

A two hours ride brought us to the statlou where we were to quit the rallwuy. Arter u most enjoyable super ut a lakeside hotel, we prepared for a pleasant feature of our outing, namely o two mile walk to tho farm house where Miss M wns staying, at which wo arrived before nightfall uud were received with a cordial welcome although my friend was strange ly upprehenslvo or attacks from hostile dogs. The pluce wus it veritable Nlmrods rotreut. The opulent landlord hud built, apart from tho dwelling, u house of two rooms to accom modate his gentlemen guests and of this we were given possession. The premises con sisted of somewhat less than a thousand acres iu crops, wotslland, lakes und marshes. Meed lake lay towarils tho north but no was ter wus visible, it was obscured by a dense growth of wild rice, tho home, and protected feeding grounds of water fowl. Along tho Uuiks of this lake, springs ot Icy cold water or I uro purity were utilized for dairy and stock, and capricious barns and sheds housed the animals from the rlgers of tho northern winters. Our farmer host showed us his dogs, his stock una crops, uud grew eloquent of the pleusiires of the chase, he also inude some allusions to the good points of u "Silo". At the mention of tho word "Silo" my friend who hud been preoc cupied with anticipations of the morrow be came interested at once.- Said he, "I have heurd of that ecies of name; do you think we could find any In this vicinity f This ro mark, of com w established my friend hith erto waning leputatiou ns an agriculturist, and qualified him for it high position lu the ranks of the Farmer's Alliance.

We weru soon wruu sd lu profound slumlsr and a light cover ing besides, The following morning found us early at the lakeside oqulpcd for tho days llshlng. A skillful oarsman relieved us of the labor of propelling our Ismt. Our fair guest was giv en the best position uud under tho tuition of our uxiNrl friend, manipulated her roil and reel with tho skill of a veteran angler.
