Press.
The word "press" has several significa
tions and the proper meaning is usually
determined from its position. In a news
paper it means an exchange or the whole
corps of papers of a party or country
Speaking of a machine "press" we usual
ly mean a printing, cider, or wine press.
Now yesterday the word was seen in a
new place,-where it was indicative of
the approach ot leap year, and shaped
the welcome with which the event would
be greeted by several of our Cass coun
ty's fairest. It was at the fair grounds,
and the word "press" was printed in
large bold letters upon the bosom of a
number of Cass' daughters.
But the young men, where were they?
What plainer invitation could be giyen?
Alas! the youth were not equal to the
emergency and the day fled leaving to
the fair ones disappointment. "Young
man the great secret of success in life is

comes.
Dillon Gets the Earth..
Oh! what a crowd! Even the heart of
that veteran actor and prince of come
dians, John Dillon, must have danced
with delight as he beheld that sea of happy
faces that greeted him at Foster's Opera
House last evening. It was not a house
full but a perfect jam, every seat, aisle
and corner being occupied, and when the
popular favorite made his appearance,
fully twelve hundred people manifested
their appreciation of his great abilities
by loud and continued applause. The
play was his new farce comedy enti
tled, "Wanted the Earth," that is scoring
a great success everywhere, and well it
may, for the piece fits Dillon and Dillon
fits the piece. In fact, Mr. Dillon has
not been so happily cast since he electri
fied the continent in "All the Rage."- The
piece is not without faults from a dra
matic standpoint, but like the "Bunch of
Keys," and other light comedies, the fun
is so fast and furious that one forgets
everything but to laugh. It is also a
pleasure to note that the star is not
handicapped by a weak company, each
member being capable, and some strong,
and when we add that Mr. Dillon has
lost none of his old-time fire and charm
it goes without saying that a better satis
fied audience has ever, if rarely been
within the walls of the theater. Iowa

Ninety Days and Thirty Minutes lo
Leave the Town.
John Doe and James More were I e
fore Judge Mathews this morning. In
the warrant the first man's name was
given as John Doe but before the court
lie plead his name as Timothy McCarty.
Doe was charged with malicious assault
with a knife, and More, with begging by
tramp.
Doe is the man who has been laying
around town lately with his left hand
tied up as though it were hurt, but it is
6aidit is simply fly blistered for the pur
pose of begging. Last night he was
making more or less disturbance in a
tough crowd on lower Main street, and
John Fitzpatrick asked special polce
John II. More to arrest him. More
took Doe by the left arm and Doe ob
jected as its being a sore arm and at the
same time whirled partially around and
thrust his right hand into his side coat
pocket. Policeman More noticed the
movement and immediately seized the
right arm and drew it behind him (Doe)
as he did So he grabbed Doe's hand and
discovered a half opened knife in it, the
blade of which pricked his hand. The
knife was taken from him and he was
hustled off to jail, using very bad and
threatening language on the way, and
after he arrived.
Doe appears to be a hard case, wears a
stealthy evil look, and called at the jai
a day or so before his arrest and wanted
to see "the boys," but he was refused ad
mitiance. He claimed he could raise
$50 to help them, but as they were sen
fenced the $50 would not haye been of
any avail. He seemed well acquainted
with the whole outfit the gang who
broke into the beer house and he told
one of the officers he had been out of
the penitentiary just two weeks.
At the trial this morning he did not
deny the eyidence after it had been given
by policeman J. II. More, and took
his sentence a good round 70 days at
hard labor without any smiles. James
More, at his trial, plead guilty to begging
for food and being drunk and disorder
ly and said when he came to town he
had some money but spent it in drink,
He was a fair appearing man to be beg
ging and said he stopped here on his
way to Denver and acknowledged he
intended to beat his way .there in box
cars. Judge Mathews sentenced him to
30 days at hard labor and suspended the
sentence 30 minutes, which time was
spent (as was intended) in a successful
effort to get out of town, and he will
probably remain there during the present
municipal court administration.

MARRIED WOMEN'S NICKNAMES.
The Odd Way In Which the Idlers at
Saratoga Address Their Wives.
When a lounger on the veranda of one
of the big hotels at this place hears a man
say "Hurry up, little one," or "Come
along, birdie," he may be sure that It Is a
husband addressing his wife and that she
Is enormously fat. Apparently all hus
bands of fat women address' their wives
with diminutives, if not with nicknames
fit only for small women or little girls.
"Daisy," "Birdie" and "Baby" appear to
be the pet names most favored by the hus
bands of mammoth women. In this haven
of conjugal rest, for Saratoga is distinc
tively for married couples and has less
conveniences and attractions for lovers
than any place in America, one gets a
deep knowledge of the ways of wedded
folk. This matter of nicknames for wives
is one of the most Interesting studies. To
pursue this branch of learning it is only
necessary to sit for an hour .or two, on any
afternoon, while the music is playing in
the Inner garden either of the United
States hotel or of the Grand Union. All
the rest the married couples will do for
the student. They will talk unguardedly
in bis hearing, and he will soon be able
to classify the couples and the pet names,
for certain names go with certain sorts of
couples as infallibly as pie goes with sup
per in New England.
Tee very swell and exquisite young
married men, who dress vainly and seek
to give the impression that they belong to
the F. C. D. C, dance at Delmonico's and
know all the fellows who have yachts,
caU their wives with monosyllables, such
as Puss, Chris, Hen, Fan, Loo, Tot.
There seems to be only one marked ex
ception in the list. Yon often hear one
of these wives called "Popsy." There
are two Popsies at the States and there ia
one at the Union. Oddly enough, tht
fathers of these same fellows, men so well
kept that you can't say whether they are
4o or CO, are fond of drawling out the full
names of their helpmeets, as, for instance.
'Come nean, iTarnces," or "2ow, my
deah Eleanor, you must have a wrap."
Equally fixed is the rule that thin and
sickly women, jdyspeptica, neurahdes. and
trie ii ko, are aaaressea ry tnelr liege lords
as wifo, madamo, or Misses Thompson,
Misses Brown, or whatever. The Invalid
husbands, and all the prim and precise
ones as well, address their better halves
as "my dear." This, by the way, is the
established custom with the Hebrews,
though they usually are heard to pro
nounce the words "mine teer." The
clergymen seem to have united upon the
word "mother" as a title for their wives,
and the men who are no common licr
and who seem to bo wrapped up in &
only girl or boy, call their wives "ma."
Other nicknames resist classification
thus far, though perhaps the key to all can
be found by diligent application. There
is no end to the Dollies aifl the "my
loves," while one hears a miscellaneous
lot of pasaersby addressing their comrades
as "Pet." Ono plump little wife is grad
ually becoming known to everybody in
one of the hotels as "Sugar," the nick
name her husband calls out assiduously
and loudly all day in the parlorB and on
tho promenades. The temptation for
others to call her Sugar is growing pain
ful. Sho is not the only feminine confec
tion, for, at the States, there is a dimpled
brunette who answers to her husband as
"Sweety," and yesterday a very prim
looking wife, somewhat the shape of a
board, was addressed as "Sweetness" be
fore all tho crowd at the spring in Con
gress park. It may be an oversight, but
there does not seem to bo a "darling" in
town. A muddy faced, corpulent man of
40, who looks as if he had been born and
brought up in tho Stock Exchange, always
addresses his wife r.s "Precious," and in
the same hotel a husband, who appears to
hail from the west, replies to his wife with
"Yes, Pigeon," "All right, Pigeon," and
so on. As it happens, there i3 something
about the wife's appearance or manner, or
perhaps It is her shape, that renders this
oldest of nickname.5 peculiarly appropri
ate. The young fellows who are spending
their time in pulling the down on their
upper lips are fond of pointing out "Sugar"
to all their acquaintances, and in another
week they will doubtless add "Pigeon"
to their stock of fun. -Saratoga Cor.

Sleep and Its Counterfeits.
The Frenchman, whoso long trance or
sleep attracted extraordinary attention in
the latter part of March and the begin
ning of April, was commonly spoken of
as "the Soho sleeper;" but when we speak
of a man "sleeping" for several days or
weeks consecutively, it is obvious that we
do not use the term in its ordinary sense.
We all know by experience what sleep is,
and we cannot conceive ourselves as Bleep
ing for an indefinite time. Yet it is diffi
cult to draw a line between normal and
abnormal sleep; the physiological con
dition merges by insensible degrees into
all kinds of pathological states, known as
lethargy, trance, stupor, coma. Through
the usual phenomena of dreaming, we
pass likewise into those of nightmare,
somnambulism, hypnotism, ecstasy, and
tho like. Yet it is important sharply to
define typical instances of these condi
tions, so as to avoid hopeless confusion in
an already obscure field of scientific in
quiry, and though we may for the sake of
convenience occasionally use the term
sleep in tho wider sense, yet tho distinc
tion between the various states included
under it must bo kept present in our
EaindS. PODUlar Sctenco Mnntlilo
