Palmists are springing up everywhere, and much is being written on this nubjoct. In England the law has grappled with it and professors of palmistry are tteing proaecutod. In tho latest installment of Mark Twain'a serial story "Pudd'n Head Wilson" in the Century, )ho subject is introduced in 11 way that adds to tho in toreat of the story. Palmistry has re eolvod some attention in Lincoln, and there aro a number of eople here who practice it as amateurs. Rosa Uaughun, of London, tho "princess of palmists," in discusaing tho so-called science, says: "Astrology Is tho keynote to the wholo affair. Palmistry is tho essential of i. y astrology, without which you can do v nothing. Of course I judgo of a person a great deal by tho hands, but tho face and tho influence of tho planots are my principal indexes to character. Oh, yes; I havo somo strango people hero some- times. Royalists, actresses, literary mon, politicians, in short, all sorts and conditions of men and women. Tho famous Jay Gould visited mo a short time before his death. He wroto mo a tL letter (under a forgod name) from somo V .London hotel, saying ho would liko to Bjf consult mo ono Saturday morning., I mb replied that tho day was tin inconvenient ono to mo, but still if ho very much wished it I would receive him when ho desired. Next Saturday I received a tolegram saying my consultant was ill and could not come would that day week do? I replied yes, und punctually to the hour a cab drovo up to tho door and from it alighted a little, old wizened man, accompanied by a female I saw at onco, ho was born under the in fluence of Mercury, which in somo posi tions at birth gives inordinato lovo of money. I told him ho was a linancior, fc and probably a celebrity in his way. n He confessed it was so, and appeared HB hugely amused. Ho then asked how Kv long he had to live, and I replied, 'two YJK years,' whereat he appeared manifestly K uneasy, as was also his, companion, tho U woman, who seemed to desire better yf things. Upon rising to go he asked the , extent of my fee. I said 1 guinea. Ho i then fumbled in his breast pocket, as if in search of a coin. 'You need not trouble about the shilling,' I said to him, divining his intention. 'Thank you, he returned. 'You see, a sovereign is legal coin of tho realm, whereaa there's no such thing as a guinea, is there?' he said, appealing anxiously to me. "I laughed and assured him there was not, but the woman, who stayed behind a little after ho had gone out of the room, regarded his penuriousneBaJn a different light, and said to mo: 'You ought to havo insisted upon the guinea; do you know that man is worth millions?' I replied that possibly it was so, but that I,cared not. 'Next I had another American to see me. 'Do you know who came to consult you lost weokT' wcro almost his first words. "Jay Gould, the American milt lionaire. He put off going to America for a week on purpose to Bee you. I am itaying at his hotel. He told me he had been to consult you." i I A There was a very respectable article in last Sunday's Journal on criticism, dramatic and otherwise, that haBa di rest bearing or the towering egotist -A who is attached to one of the evening papers, we are sorry mat me uournat criticisms are not as good as Its article on criticism. Our contemporary has such proper ideas on the subject that it is a little surprising that tho criticisms ap pearing in its columns, which of late have been particularly ambitious, are so generally flat, stale and unprofitable. t .We take pleasure in making the follow- r ing quotation from the JournaVa edi- torial: I Ono critic takes the stand that ho can J criticise any entertainment which is ad Vsvertised In a paper. Yes, but not' in tho W' "rIovoIobs and rather indelicate manner 1 in which that critic frequently criticises. 7 He has started his crusade on tho churches and wo may at any tlmo ex pect a statement that Dr. So-and-So's prayer last night was rather too long, and wholly lacking in dramatic tone, that the doctor's voice was not good, his gestures awkward and his poses in bad taste. This is the mildest we may ex pect. Heaven grant he will not say that the doctor's prayer was off color and that tho doctor's voice reminded him of a buzz-saw, or a saw-mill, or a canning factory, and that tho doctor ought to have been in bed. One thing will be granted, that it is a critic's duty to at least speak respectfully and decently of every lady and gentleman whose face has not appeared on the bill boards and who is a respectable member of society. If (he critic will not do this and cannot r.'BMtaln from coarseness, no ono is hurt ' so much as ho may think. The indigna tion and toars or wnicn no speaics aro mostly motapnorical, lie is not likely (n hrnatr nnv tiAnrra. lint nnlv tn inimn ' fnnllnmi nt lvnnrlnnfM.

The work of filling these places will give infinite ',t to the spring campaign. Nowadays anything relating to tho school board is sure to attract attention, and, after the recont somewhat violent agitation of school matters In this city, an election is ccrtajn to arouse tho deepest interest. There will of course bo a non-partisan tickot, and ono of the interesting ques tions that will havo to bo decided in tho making up of tho ticket is, whether ono or two women shuil bo placed on tho tickot, or whether it shall Ito composed entirely of mon. Tlioro will be the usual effort to tako tho matter of tho election of monitors of tho ttoard of education entirely out of politics, and a strong at tempt will undoubtedly be mado to pre vent tho political parties from placing opposition tickets In tho field. There is a wido division of opinion among re publicans on 'this question. Tho appointment of J. H. Hurley to the poetmastorsbip, signalising bh it does, tho turning down of Congressman Bryan by tho administration, may not cause tho congressman to sing loud hosannas of great joy; but it will givo general satisfaction to tho peoplo of Lin coln. Mr. Harley is a successful busi ness man, and ho will make a lcautiful and efficient postmaster, . Mr. Harley will, wo aro credibly in formed, mako a number of improvements in tho postofllce. Ho will sprinkle Band or ashes on the postoffico sfeps when' there is snow or ico lurking uround, thereby saving many lives and shins.und he will immediately start a quarter off sale in postage stamps, to get rid of tho big stock left over by Mr. Gere. Mr. Harley will also station two gaily caparisoned pickaninnies in tho postoffico corridor to lick iostage stamps for lady patrons of tho p. o. Wo violate no con fidence in saying that Mr. Harley will mako a daisy postmaster. Of course it will bo claimed that Mr. Bryan was properly recognized in tho appointment of Mr. Harloy. But tho fact remains that Mr. Bryan was a sup pliant for Major Calhoun, and Major Calhoun was not appointed. Mr. Bryan did not got what ho wanted. Wo aro Borry for Major Calhoun. Wo would, with many others, havo rejoiced at his appointment; but newspaper men, liko common people, have their disap pointments, and tho major has a bravo heart. We bid him good cheor, and in the languageof the Call, suggest that ho wait for tho next democratic adminis tration. We are afraid, however, that a good ma'ny winters will come and go, making men of little boys and whiten ing the hair of those who are now young and flossy, before there will be another democratic president; but newspaper men are used to waiting. They havo all dieted on it. Ik it is the Intention to keep the gold reserve intact it is the general belief in treasury circles that a new issue of fifty millions in bonds will havo to bo resorted to within tho "next fow months until congress comes to the rescue, as tho ex penditures continue to run ahead of tho receipts at the rato of about 10,000,000 a month. Associated Press dispatch. The democratic policy of overthrow and destruction was never so effectively exemplified as by tho present administration. A receiver for tho government ought' to bo appointed. Henry D. Estabrook, of Omaha, one of tho regents of tho state university, whoso speech at tho banquet of the Young Men's Republican club in this city last spring mado such a deep im pression, was one of the orators at the Lincoln dinner in New York, and by at least two of the newspapers of that city he was given the credit of having made the best speech of the evening. His ex perience in- New York was but a repeti tion of his triumph in Chicago two years ago. Nearly always when you say of this or that man, that ho is a credit to the state, your statement is, to a very large extent, rot; but when you say that Estabrook reflects credit upon Nebraska, you are stating tho truth in a very fceblo manner. Readers of tho Journal must have sus tained a sovoro shock on reading tho following editorial in that paper Wednes day: "The peoplo are beginning to wonder at tho modesty of tho crematory people in asking for nothing more than tho city of Lincoln and tho country within fivo miles of it. It would have been just as well to havo asked for the rest of tho earth whilo the ordinance was in prepa ration." . If tho Journal is going to havo . opin ions on local matters and ' express thorn, it ought to givo us warning, and not come at ub in this abrupt manner. The reading of an item like the above, guard ed as it is, in our morning contemporary, without any previous intimation, is liable to cause nervous prostration, or hysterics, or something equally serious. Tn kick is a striking and appropriate similarity betweon gurbuge and a gar bage ordinance Touch either ono and there is a bud smell. It is generally predicted that tho gur bago crematory ordinance will not bo passed. Fatiikii Cokiiktt is truo to his name.
