Thcro Is something that In getting to bo
awfully scarce In tills irld. Shall I toll
you what It 1st It Is girl. Thnt Is what is
missing out of tlio sentient, breathing, living
world Just now. Wo have lots of young
ladle and lot of society misses, but tlio
sweet, old-fashioned girts of ever so long ago
are vanished with the ioko bonnetH and the
cinnamon cooklos. Lot tno enumerate n fow
of tlio kind of girls that aro wautel. In tlio
first placo wo want homo girls girls who
are mother's right hand; girls who can cud
die the little ones noxt best to mamma, and
smooth out the tangles in tlio domestic skolu
whon things get twlsttd; girls whom fathers
tako comfort In for something better than
beauty, and tlio big brothers nro proud of
for something that outranks tho ability to
dance and shine in society. Noxt, wo want
girls of sense girls who havo a standard of
their own, regardless of conventionalities,
and aro independent enough to live up to it;
girls who simply won't wear a tral ling dross
on the street to gather up microbes and nil
sorts of defilement; girls who won't wear a
high hat to the theater, or lacerate their feet
and endanger their health with high heels
and tight corset ; girls who will wear what Is
pretty and becoming and snap their fingers
at the dictates of fashion when fashion is
horrid and silly. And wo want good 'girls
girls who are sweet, right straight out from
the heart to the lips; Innocent ami simple
girls, with less knowledge of sin and dupli
city and evil-doing at 'JO than tho pert little
school girl of 10 has all too often ; girls who
say their prayers and read their Bibles and
love Ood and keep His commandments. (Wo
want girls "awful bad I") And we want
careful girls and prudent girls, who think
enough of a generous, father who tolls to
maintain them in comfort, and ot tho gentle
mother who denies herrelf much so that they
may have so many pretty things, to count
the costs and draw the lino between tho es
sentials and the non-essentials; girls who
strive to save and not to iend; girls who aro
unseitisn ana eager to be n joy ana a com
fort in the home rather than an expensive
and a useless burden . Wo want girls with
hearts girls who are full of tenderness and
sympathy, with tears that flow for other
people' Ills, and smiles that light outward
their own teautifut thoughts. We have lets
of clever girls, and brilliant girls, and witty
girls. Olve us a consignment of jolly girls,
warm hearted and impulsive girls; kind and
entertaining to their own folks, and with
desire to shine in the garish orld. With a
few such girls scattered around, life would
freshen up for all of us, as the weather does
under the spell of summer showers. Seed
the day when this sort of girls fills the world
once more, over running the spaces where
Gcd puts them as climbing roses do when
they break through tho trellis to glimmtr
and glint above the common highway, a
blessing and a boon to all who pans them by.
If Lincoln does not prosier, It will bo no
lack or fault of tho local or foriegn press.
Tho following is from the Chicago Herald of
last Saturday: "An interesting little story,
with a touch of romance and a iwsslblo bear
ing on the "affinity" notion, is that of tho
marriage last week in Lincoln, Neb,, of Isaac
Rakestraw, of Geneva, Nob. and Mrs. Cath
erine Haines, of Silver Creek, Colo. , Lrido end
groom being each C8 years old. Forty yenrs
ago they were lovers In their nutivo village
in Ohio. The course of their love ran a little
lumpy, and later the course of their lives led
apart. They did not see or hear of each
other from early youth until a few months
ago. Mrs. Itains had had three husbands
and Mr. Rakestraw four wives in the mea n
tlme, but at tho meeting both were unin
cumbered. The old love blazed furiously
and the two were married, and It U possible,
considering their ages, that the story may
end all right by their living liappily ever
afterward."
Cornelius VanderbllthM Deeohie dissatis
fied with his palatial residence on Fifth ave
nue, New York, and Vv-Ill build a new one at
a cost of $2,000,000. This palace is to be
erected on Fifth avenue, between Fifty
seventh and'Fifty-eighth streets,' and will be
the most magnificent in the city. It Is said
that the ball room and private theatre of
the new house will be large enough to ac
commodate tho entlro four hundred.
The custom of throwing shoes after a new
ly married pair, which is of such common
occurrence nowa-days, is really of very an
cient origin. Among tho Jew, tho deliver
ing of a shoe denotes the renunciation of any
right or title to any person or possession.
The family of Ruth gave one to lioaz when
he entered into possession of his brot her's
lot. The custom in reference to marriage
descends to us from our Angk-Saxon ances
tors, when the father presented the bride's
shoo to her husband, who touches her with
it on the head In token of authority, In
Turkey, on the contrary, It is the bride
greom who is to receive due admonition by
means of shoos, for he is choked by tho wed
ding guests, and beateu or pelunl with slip
er8. But whatever custom may observo in
different countries at weddings, this giving
or throwing down of a shoe, is a relic of the
ancient law of exiimngo; and when now
thrown by tl-o parent of a newly married
daughter, it means that they resign all au
thority and all right to her. The throwing
of rice after her, another custom now so fa
miliar at wedding feasts, is also derived
from a Roman ceremony, and is a relic of
the most honorable form ot Roman mar
riage. A young man about 15 years old was sit
ting in the waiting-room of the B. & M, de
pot the other day with a year-old baby on
his knee, and his alarm and helplessness
when the "young un'' suddenly began to
howl were so marked us to attract attention.
By and by a waiting aseuger walked over
to ulm with a biiiIIo of pity on his face utid
queried;

A BREEZY CHICAGO LETTER.
Ciuoaoo, March 3, 1893.
Deaii CouniEHi What a little place this
world is and how especially diminutive Is
Chicago! Inside ot live hours your humblo
servant met, one day last week, u half dozen
Lincoln iwople, all of whom she suposed
vero just 3i!l miles away. As I walked Into
the dining-room of u populur down-town

hotel Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Hlckey walked out,
having just finished luncheon. On tho way
back to my olllco I met Mrs. W R, Dennis
and her mother, Mrs. Abbot. They were en
l-outo tor Indianapolis Mrs. Abbot's home
lint had been compelled to stop for rest, as
Mrr. Abbot is in very pior health. Mrs. A,
L. Frost who, with her daughter, Florence,
is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Conuell, Lieut. Pershing and Dr. Bailey
completed the list. These chanco meetings
with old friends serve to make life tolerably
endurable in Chicago.
Tho theatres continue crowded at evory
performance. "The Old Homestead" in the
torn th week of its engagement at McVlcker'n,
plays to large aiidieucoi that go nway well
p.rased. The managers of this popular
theatre have had built a most mngnlllcent
plpe-orgau and it is used effectively in tlio
premutation ot "Tne Old Homestead." Dr.
Thomas preaches every Sunday morning at
McVicker's and tho music at tho service Is
something to be remembered. The only
drawback to the enjoyment of these meet
ings is, that to (mure yourself a seat at the
morning performance pardon, I mean ser
vice one mut stay after the theatre. Sati r
day evening. Then If J ou euro to go down
to I'l ows and take tome llht refreshment
you need not go homo till after tho matinee.
'TIs u great saving of car1 faro!
It is eutei talulng to notice the change in tons
of the theatrical notes each siiccvoJiug week
of a company 'sengagoment. Tho"LaClgalo"
compunyT for example. Whon Miss Rusell
began her engagement tho reporters wero
lavish with their praises. Tho performance,
was announced as "novel" "finished," "pleas
ing," "brilliant," etc., etc. Now Ciil
Streltmau "makes faces when he sings" (too
true!) "and his voice Is cold and unsympi
I he tic." The fair Lillian herself Is declared
to lie a third-rate actress, with no dramatic
ability, but little voice; in fact one whoso
fnce Is her fortune. Even tho painstaking,
conscientious little workur, Grace Golden, is
raked over the coals because her voice is not
strong. Louis Harilson is roundly hcorod
too. "La Clgale" is no I wtter, no worse than
it was tho initial performance, and it plays
to just as large houses overy night us wel
comed it three weeks ago. I heard a woman
mako a remark about Lillian Russell that
reminded me ot a conversation I overheard
after Pat i'sapjiearance at the Auditorium,
at which time one woman said sho knew
Pattt wore false teeth. The criticism about
' Miss Russell was that sho hail large feet.
UtmethliiK to bo expected I should say
' is sho not a Chicago woman!
Mario Tempest in "The Tyrolean," Is a
etever actress' in -a pretty comic opera,
tt'hvn aim bIml'k her Xlirhtiniralo somr sho Is
swapiy fascinating. Katurduy night the
company sang "Nation" for the one iierform-
a nco only, and was greeted by a large, en
thusiastio house. It has not beou produced
in Chicago for sevcrul seasons. Miss Mar
tinet in "Pompadour" is not achieving bril
liant success. D'Alliert and the Marine
Band furnished us musla last week. Of tho
former only highest praises may be spoken.
He is simply a great artist. Only US years
ot age, he is considered by many the greatest
pianist now living. Tho Marino Band dis
appointed those who heard it in tho after
noon. The programme was played in a caro
less, indolent way that was far from pleas
ing, and then -Mmo. buccal she has a beau
tiful vole" that has been highly cultivated,
but her singing lias no soul In it. Sho sings
Itulian airs and dltllcult operatic music lu a
finished, artistic way, but she should leave
'Home, Sweet Home'' and "The Lust Rose ot
Summer" for others who can put some feel
ing in the singing. Her rendition ot these
beautiful songs lor eucoies was fomethlng
jkii'iiuI, and one remeiibered Pattt witli a
wild hope that she would make another
farewell tour,
Chicago is enjoying "lovely spring
weather," and the parks aro .thronged with
people. Lust Sunday was declare! by ol J
residents to be perfectly "balmy." The lake
breeze, however, reminded Nebraskaus very
forcibly of one of our old time whiter blfz
zurds, consequently wo did not order our
carriages out, for two very good reason;
one, us I said before tho weather; tho other,

liiffrric 11. SiijtIoii, In Ctntury.
Tho American Kxtrovaganza company
gave two productions ot "Hlnhad" at the
Lansing Thursday afternoon and evening,
and never before did such largo and culti
vated audiences assomhlo in this city. It
oven BiirpaKsod the opening night at tho
Lansing, for not only did the "Four Hun
dred" of Lincoln nppimr In gorgeous array ,
but also that of Boatrico, Hastings, and
other neighboring cities. Ono could easily
distinguish tho thoalru parties that were,
scattered hero and there over tho house,
and tho costumes of the ladies in those par
ties were only surpassed by some of ox
qufslto nttlro on tlio stage. Of tho piece
itself little can be said, for it is practically
plotless, but as a siectaculai' production
"Slnbad" undoubtedly has no rival, for
from the raising of the curtain In the first
act until the close of the last, tho audience
constantly see before it a gorgeous spread of
scenery, numberless pretty forms, faces and
costumes so picturesquely grouped together
that the eirect even bewilders an ordinary
vivid imagination. The music throughout
is very catchy, in fact so much so that the
mofct ot it has leon stolen and sang hero be
fore by other companies. Mr. Normin
made his usual lilt in the prettiest of these
songs called "The iBogie Man." It Is a
strangely wlenl-tlihig and tho accompani
ment by the cannibals makes it Ixitlt pleas
ing and novel, Eddie Foy and the quar
tette wero sparkling with wit and humor In
their topical songs and local hits. Tho
dancing was perfection itself, tho most not
iceable of which was tho serpentine dance
and tho wonderful work of Mr. Dunn, who
is inimitable as "Tho Old Man ot the Sea."
Miss Kissing makes a splendid '' Slnbad,"
and Is especially taking In tho wedding
march with that ietite little body, Miss
Mulle, who as "Ninetta" is most charmingly
fascinating. "Cupid," Miss Raymond, cap
tured the audience at once with her beauti
ful face and charming manner as she daiu-
I tlly guided tho. footsteps of tho lovors. The
I great acting card ot the occasion was the Ir-
represslblo Kddlo Foy. As a vocalist ho Is
I not Al, but as a comedian It would I hi diffi
cult to secure IiIb equal a fact, by the way,
I which Manager Henderson has already as
certained. His makeup is entirely original,
tho facial expressions unique and his brogue
always pleasing and luugh-liisplrlng.
All lu all "Slnbad" Is more than deserving
ot tho reputation that preceded each er
formanco for It more than surpasses all of
the famous Haiilou brothers' presentations
as a spectacular entertainment,
TI1K Hl-OONKH COMI'ANY'H 111(1 HIT.
"Popular prices and good comedy have In
deed met with favor," is tho remark heard
from many who have visited tho Fuiike
this week, and the Hjooner Comedy com
pany continues to please Immense audiences,
for at every performance tho house Is wcked
to Its utmost cajwiclty. Saturday this com
pany gave two entertainments, presenting
"Roddy's Luck" at the matinee and "A
Fight lor a Million" in the evening. "The
Judge's Wife," "Pearl of Savoy," "Octo

This is undoubtedly one of tho -Ixwt com
panies to be Mien for tho price, and they
enact each ploco of their large selection with
equal merit. Manager Ogstou Is so pleased w'th
their work that ho has mado arrangements
for tho company to continue nt the Fuiike
nil of next week. Several now plays will tie
put on iMwIdos n reproduction of poveral oth
ers which havo made n hit this week. Edna
May Is a charming artiste and Mr. Siooner
cleverly assumes the various characters,
each of which he jvortrays In a manner that
never fulls to win admiration and applause,
For a 10, 'M and !M cent company this beats
nil past racords and deserves to continue in
popular favor all next week. Attend tin

for to night and Monday are now on sale.
1-OOH JONATHAN AGAIN.
Caiirled's Com la
Opera company will
slug tho great New
York Casino success,
"Poor Jonathan,"for
the second time this
season at tho Ioni
sing Theatre on Mon
day evening, "Poor
Jonathan" was writ
ten by Carl Mlllocck
er, tho composer of
"Tho Black Hussar,"
"The Beggar Stu-
dent,"nnd other com
ic operas, about two
years ago, at tho sug
gestion of Mr. Cou
rted, who was then visiting Vienna. Mr.
Courted wanted something novel different
f mm the general runofcomlo operas and
tho idea struck him that hiio with an Ameri
can nuliject, devoid of the picturesque and
gorgeous costuming, which is considered the
necessary adjunct of n comlo ojiera, would
tako in America. No sooner said than done,
and "Poor Jorathau" was tho outcome.
Either Carl Mllloecker became very much
Amorlcanlzod or Mr. Conrled conveyed to
him his Idea In very complete form, for it
must be admitted that the production Is
thoroughly permeated with the flavor of
Americanism.
The plot is Infinitely amusing and Interest
ing. New York is the scene ot action.
"Rubygold," a bonanza king, luckless In his
suit for the fair "Harriet." and weary of
supporting the responsibilities of his vast
wraith, transfers it all to "Jonathan Trip,"
his cook. Poor "Jpiiatlian" takes every ad
vantage of his change in ositlou, and hero
is where some of the most excellent morsels
of the oera aro develoxl. Finally, truo
lovo conquers, and "Harriet" and "Ruby
gold" coming together, "Jonathan" and the
latter arrange about the wealth, and all goej
merrily on.

Tho Fisheries Building embraces a largo
central structure with two smaller polygonal
buildings connected with It ou either end by
arcades. Tho extreme length of tho build
ing is 1,100 feet and the width 200 feet. It Is
ocated to the northward of tho United
States Government building. In tho central
Krtlon Is the general Fisheries exhibit. In
one of the polygonal buildings Is tho Angling
exhibit and lu the other the Aquaria. Tho
exterior of the building is Spanish-Romanesque,
which contrasts agreeably in appear
ance with that ot the other buildings. To
tho close observer tho exterior of tho build
ing can not full to bo exceedingly Interesting,
for the architect, Henry Ives Cobb, exerted
nil his ingenuity In urranglng innumerablo'
forms of capitals, modllllous, brackets, cor
nices, and other ornamental detail, using,
only fish and other sea forms for his motif of
design. The root nf tho building Is of old:
Stanish tile, and the side walls ot pleasing
color. Tho cost Is about $-J00,O0O.
The total water capacity of tho Aquaria,
exclusive of reseevolrs, Is 18.T-J5 cubic feet,
or 140,000 gallons. This weighs 'J, 102,425
iiounds, or almost (100 tons. Ot this amount
'about 40,000 gallons is devoted to the Marina
exhibit. In the entire saltwuter circulation,
Including reservoir, there are about 80,000
gallons. The pumping and distributing plant
for the Marine Aquaria Is constructed ot
vulcanite. Thopuinpsaro In duplicate, and
each has a capacity of 3,000 gallons per
hour. Tho supply of sea water was secured
by evawrutiug tho necessary quantity at
the Woods Holl station of the United States
Fish Commission to about one-tifth Its bulk,
thus reducing both quantity and weight for
trunsortutioii ubout SO (er cent. The fresh
water required to restoro it to Its projwr
density was supplied from Lake Michigan.
