A mlseut letter moved Prof. Hessoy of the
State University tho other day to sny thnt
tlioiroier abbreviation for Nebraska was
Nebr. Instead of Neb. Jinny persons In
writing hurriedly and when doesn't a busi
ness man address an envelope in haste f make
n letter b that may easily bo mistaken for a
v. If you will just try It ouco you will sou
how easily it may lie done, and then you will
understand how a letter addrn-sed to n place
in Nebrasko may bu sent to Nevada. This In
only a trifling matter, but life In made up of
trine.
Havo men good tastel A , bright girl was
moved a few days ngo to nay they did not,
and a we were overlooking a tenuis court
she undertook to give an occular proof of her
projiosltioii. She iwlnted out a young man
whoso shirt, trousers, blazer and rap were of
four different coloni. She asserted that It
displayed an utter lack of taste, and I was
not prepared to disprove it, but when she
pointed t another player with a suit having
one color dominant throughout, and held it
up as an example of how taste might be dis
played, of course I claimed it as an argument
against her, for here was a young man who
by her own admission had exercised good
taste. But these women are Ingenious crea
tures, and she Insisted that this young man
was the exception to the general rule. Then
Nhe olnted to some girl playerB whoso tennis
suits were prettily attractive. I argued that
being pretty was a trilling concern with the
average man, that his tennis suit were
bought In sections, very often with reference
to some other use, that he generally bought
parts of it ready made, that he would usual
ly make u selection from whatever hapiiened
to be ou hand in his favorite store Histoid or
shopping, and in short that he had the scorn
of a suiwrior being for a fellow who tried to
get himself up pretty. She Insisted that that
proved ber case, because if men had taste they
would take a little pains to exercise It, She
thought a man might learn to have a sense for
harmony of color without being a sissy-man.
1 maintained a man might have taste with
out showing it in the tennis court. Hlie in
stanced men who displayed tuste, but said It
had been acquired. I admitted that the
sense for harmony In color was dormant In
many men, but that their taste only needed
cultivating, and so we gradually reached the
conclusion that the truth lay about midway
between tho extreme propositions with which
we started. And as wo considered the mat
ter farther we came to the conclusion that u
greut many uwlots uud often bitter urgu
ineuts were begun over ultra-positive state
ments when tho opposing disputants were
not so very wide apart in their ideas, and
then tho query followed: Why bo so ioltive
in afsertlng things about which there may be
honest differences of opinion What an
enormous waste of words and temper It
would save If wo were n little more thought
full
The French have no word for homo and
the Japanese none for klsstrs. What a queer
thing that Is to us.
Most of us, probably, have read those fool
articles pretending to set forth u system of
llirtatlon signals to lo carried on with a fun
or u handkerchief or n parasol, but the
greatest bit of tomfoolery is the stuff preach
ed by a new apostle esthetic who teaches that
ii woman's gown should be a sort of u direc
tory of her emotions or condition?, The holy
and dignified state of matrimony, for exam
ple, should find expression in a black gar
ment, while love, its precursor, too often on
ly its precursor, should lie robed In n gar
ment upon which the torch of Hymen starts
from ioppl( s In crimson and gold, symboli
cal of love's hypnotism. Health, he says,
should wear a gown of Nile green, with a
border of lotus (lowers. Life should be garb
ed in white crepe, with silver antiime trac
eries. Death should be gloi tiled in garments
wherein the golden light of the sun and the
silver sheen of the moonbeams mingle in the
mysterious symbol of death. Fancy scold
ing a woman gotten up Itrsuch occult, murk
ily mystio things, about the coal bill, or ask
ing her where in thunder she put your col
lars and clean stockings.
It Is said that lawli tennis Is declining In
popularity among women in the east. The
fact is that the game, among experts, Is now
played at too furious a rate to be a pleasure
for any who are not experts. The game has
become so scientillcthat one who plays but
little hasn't much chance for distinction and
robbed of that ambition what is there in any
sjort or game! When tennis was first taken
up it was played for recroution,physioul and
social, but now it has become a game for ex
perts, who pine for the glory of winning
laurels. Women cannot keep up without be
ing ungraceful, disarranging drajieries and
overheating themselves. The natural con
sequence Is that they are dropping the game,
and the buds are dlscouragod from taking it
up. Happily we have not reached that stage
of development.

The CouiUKii is a firm believer In the prop
osition that the American girl is the sweetest
and most adorable product of the nineteenth
century, and It takes a just pride In show lug
her superiority by every available compari
son with the foreign article. A writer in
one of tho magazines descrlltes "A Swiss
Boarding School." Of course lie makes com
parisons, and they are Mattering to our pride.
He found that there was in the girls them
selves none of that intellectual interest which
we find among bright American girls who
are pursuing classical studies together. They
had among themselves no such eagerness of
conversation; they did not appear to discus
the problems or life or to feel personally ana
werable for their solution; and as compared
with a set either of clever or of fashionable
girls they seemed very young for tlwlr years,
though In some Instance very bright, anil In i
uti Interesting wny. We swear by our girls
overy tlmo.
What peculiar ideas eastern people have of
thewestl Is it merely Ignorance or a mix
lure of Ignorance and prejudice! A LI ncoln
gentleman wits' entertaining a group of
friend yesterday with a few illustrations
that had fallen to his lot to exHrlence. He
was talking with nu Intelligent New Knghiud
banker about our water supply and luipieii
cd to mention the former trouble with salt
water.
"Well, you can get good wnter from tho
mountains, can't youf asked this Yankee.
"Y-o-s, wee-o-u-ld," answered tho Lin-
colnito with Just a shade of doubt In his tone.
"I notlcethat I'arls is talking nlxnit get
ting its supply from some mountain In
France, and they proMse to go three hund
red miles for it," and there was a suggestion
of awe In the down caster's air when he men
tioned the distance.
"Well, If we can't beat the French by two
hundred miles we'll quit," promptly respond
ed our representative with true western con
fidence. "You don't mean to ray," broke out the
Yankee, with eyes opened wide with sur
prise, "that you are five hundred miles from
the Rocklesl"
"It is that distance to the nearest foot
hills." "Why, I thought Lincoln was out near
Denver."
"So it is," assented the man who measured
distances In western fashion, "but it is as
far from Denver as from Chicago."
This statement gave the New Englander
another shock. It seemed incredible to bin.
"You really don't mean to insist that It is
a thousand miles from Chicago to Denver "
"Yes, sir-rce. If you don't believe it look
It up. You probably have a Burlington or a
Hock Island folder about the otllce, and if it
doesn't give the distance you can figure it
out by the time It takes a train to cover It.
Oh, we are a Rreat country out there."
In another instance this Lincoln gentle
man had some bonds to sell. He called asu
man who was making Investments of that
kind and asked if he ever bought western
bonds. Well, yes, he had once, but only
once. His maimer lietraycd that he had
doubts about the safety of investing in west
ern securities, as though they came from a
foreign country, but his slugle venture had
turned out all right. Tho Lincolnite asked
where the bunds were Issued. The easterner
named a city in Ohio. That was his Idea of
"the wet."
The delegates' to the national editorial con
vention who were fortunate enough to tuku
thejexcurslon to West Superior were afforded
a most interesting time. Not the least of tho
many treat was a visit to tho whalt-back
ships under peculiarly favorable conditions.
These vessels are of an exceedingly novel
construction and it is possible they may rev
olutionize the shipping of the world. It is
therefore u memory worth preserving by the
excursionists that they saw the new Industry
in its very infancy. These ships are u htgu
steel shell with the top rounded like the back
of a whale whence tho name and very
little above hoard but a turret. They have
an Immense carrying capacity, and they are
said to weather heavy seas better than ordi
nary crafts. It wiua notable coincidence
that about the time tho editors were examin
ing tin works and hearing tho luventor'H pre
dictions, the first whalebuck to cross tlio
ocean was just going into port at I.lveipool.
More notable still was the fact that sho
started from West Siqierlor with a load of 1KI
UJO bushels of w heat, sailing down the hikes,
through the Zoo canal, around Niugaru
Fall by way of tho Welluud canal and down
the St Lawrence to the Atlantic. It is the
first trip of the kind ever made and may rev
olutionize commerce. It means uu enormous
saving in the transportation of freight from
western American grain fields to Livei'(iool,
which regulates the prices of the world uud
it may build up a market at West Hurlor
that will rival Chicago's.
Seaklug of the Soo canal at thuSuult Ste.
Marie between Lake Superior and Lake Hu
ron, how many people know that it sees morn
traffic than the Suez canal which figures so
much in the talk of tho world! Last year
.'KW'.l vesels passed through the Suez. The
Soo was open but 2.8 days and passed 1(),.V7
vesels. And the tonnage of our canal exceed
ed that of the Suez by about SI per cent.
Oh, we are a great people, so great in. names
of our enterprises that we do not realize it
until we compare figures.
Next week is the Forepaugh shows, but not
the once famous aggregation that formerly
went through the country advertised us Fore
Miugh's circus. It is not tho good olden time
circus, and not like the one that the famous
showman presented. Mr. Ed. Friend, travel
iug for the Shtss, Ox & Co., of Chicago,
speaking of what he saw 'at the circus in
Omaha recently, said: "It's nothing like the
show Forepaugh used to give us. 1 heard
that the show was 'bum' but seeing the glar
ing pictures of tho lion race thought I'd go.
Well, I saw it, and like hundreds of other
people, kicked myself afterward for going.
The lions are sickly looking, the cage in
which they race (I) fell down and several
other accidents occarred during the perform
ance. It's the snidest big show 1 ever saw."
Tins Couhieh gives the above for the benefit
of its readers at what It is worth.

The editorial convention nt St. I'aul was a
wonder. It was wonderful from almost every
olnt of view As nu assembly of representa
tive quill drivers and publishers it hns never
had uu equal anywhere; ns an Intellectual
convention the good accomplished fur stir
(Missed any former assembly of n similar na
ture, and in membership it had the largest
attendance ever given any editorial gathel ing
As a collection of the various fields of Ameri
can Journalism and as in the extent of terri
tory represented, It embodied men and
women representing every class of tiowspu
jsr work, and from every state and ten Itory
in the union. As for patriotism the vener
able 0, A. It. at Detiolt this week could not
have shown more love and resH-ct for the
ling than did the sorlU's. The beautiful
Grand opera house was licdcckcd from stage
to "nigger heaven," and from parquet to
dome with America's favorite colors, and
any reference made to the (lag at any time,
Is) It of the smallest order, would Ite receivAl
with storms of applause. In fact the nssoelas
tlou is the owner of n Iwautlful Hag with
which It was presented by a distinguished
Parisian several years ago, and a special cus
tiMllan Is annually apomtcd to take charge
of the trophy.
The good people of St. I'aul, kind, gener
ous and blghearted that they are, made the
days of the convention a series of unalloyed
pleasures. For the business meetings every
KMwlble comfort anil convenience was pro
vided and for each moment of leisure there
was some program of royal entertainment
arranged. And so it was that In every re-sHM-t
the seventh annual National Editorial
Convention was deemed the most wonderful
meeting that this great and influential Ixsly
lias ever held. The business meetings were
characterized with all that could result ill
the most good to the largest number. Most
editorial meetings In the past have lieeu
statu .sl as lieing junketing tours, lots of fun
and little beneficial woik, other than a good
time. The late convention, be it said with
credit to President Stephens ami the commit
tee, was not one of that kind. A liner pro
gram could not have been arranged and so
well carried out. If all future conventions
are us ubly conducted and can produce such
fruits as the one just closed, one mid all may
well teel satisfied that tho association is fully
currying out its great wot k as mapped out
when organized In u most comtmmihihlo
spirit. The iwqwrs read before that body
weie cleverly selected and the persons on
tho program to present them were of national
repute and more than met tho anticipation of
the lurge audiences. There did iiotnpeu- to
be an empty honor in any of tho uddresses or
that too often times waste of time in wrang
ling over minor and unimportant matters.
It was a thorough business assembly and
every moment was devoted to some purKso
and the result was as above stated. If any
delegate failed to get his or her share of the
benefits thrived by others, it was either that
they could not be present or did not care to
improve tlioopMrtunlty offered, I am happy
to say, however, that these were few, as at
each session, Is-ith morning and afternoon,
there was generally a large audience. As a
president, Mr. Stephens makes a most excel
lent otllcer, and lx it said to his credit, the
association never bad a letter executive. If
his successor will only give equal satisfaction,
then certainly the association is to be con
gratulated. A gentleman with more friends,
a harder worker for n desired end, nu officer
better posted in parliamentary tactics and a
gentleman that can better control as large n
convention as the seventh annual whs, It will
ho dilllcult to find, Mr Stephens' rulings
were ah ays decisive anil prompt and there
mis favoritism shown to no one. The feel
ings between memtersaud executive could in
no manner have lieeu mole fully exemplified
than at the final festivities at Hotel Lafay
ette, Ijiko Miimetouka, on the eve of tho de
parture of the delegates. Mr. Jones of New
Orleans, on Imhutf of the association, made u
lreeututlou speech that was full of feeling
mid timely eloquent remarks, the response
by the president being no less brilliant and
eulogistic, only causing additional admiration
for the able retiring officer
The entertainment received lit the hands of
St. Puul citizens was such as no delegate will
ever forget. Kind and considerate, each de
tall was no ably arranged that at every turn
willing hands were always present to assist
In showing proper St. Paul hospitality.
From tho time of arrival to tho farewell
greet lug each delegate was in the hands of
their friends. The reception committee, met
the delegatus at the train and kept them well
ill sight until they again boarded the trains
homeward bound. There was somo particu
lar event booked for each evening, and dur
ing the afternoons those that preferred to go
junketing with the fair sex would always find
some attractive program on hand.
The convention orguuized Tuesday morn
ing mid in tho afternoon the visitors were
shown the city in a delightful carriage drive.
The city is beautifully laid out, and from the
higher portions in several localities, a hand
some picture greets the eye. It was a long
and Imposing line of vehicles, and everyone
seemed to enjoy the sights even more than
the drive; the latter, however, lielug one of
comfort and much pleasure, tho atmosphere
even adding to the enjoyment of the after
noon. Among the various excursions were the
following; Wednesday to White Bear Lake,
where refreshments were served and a sail
duly enjoyed. This beautiful resort is about
fifteen miles out, on the St. I'aul & Duluth
railway. It is a delightful s)iot, having a
large pavilion where theatrical jierforniauces
are given and dancing is indulged In, together
with other seasonable pastimes. The lake is
a beautiful body of water und Is very popular
with St. I'aul people. Boat contests at fre
quent Intervals through the season are great
attractions.
Ou another occasion the hlstorio Fort
Snelllng and Minnehaha Falls, both on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. I'aul railway,
were visited. The ride is a delightful one
and is both picturesque and instructive. The
fort does not compare with most of our mod
eru clay military posts, and rather disap
pointed tho visitors in K)int of beauty and
late improvements. At the falls was another
disappointment. So much had been heard '

In those days of rapid advancement hi mer
chuutlle pursuits few houst-s come to the
