The lawyers of this city, in addition to their letral attainments, are noted for their wit and cleverness in story-telling One among the number, is Matthew Ger ing, a promising young lawyer, whoie legal knowledge has already acquired him deserved fame through the courts o Nebraska. The science of electricity, as demon strated by very expensive apparatus and explained by Prof. Lantau at the clime museum on Main street, is honestly wortl a dollar to witness by students and teach era. The beautiful phenomena producer can onlr be seen at nisrht. The museum is conducted with the strictest decorum The Board of Trade met last night and discussed matters of great imp- rt ance, but nothing definite will be nevei oped until their next meeting, whicl will probably, be a special call, when we will devote a column or more to the sub jecta that are already under considera tion af Washington, concerning thii city's welfare, and which will both sur prise and please our citizens. The national shipping register is an interesting record. 'The names of f amou Americans appear thereon in largo num bers. The name of Grant is inscribed or. a great many American vessels. Nearly a dozen ships aro called after Andrew Johnson. Three boats bear Benjamin F. Butler's name, while five us the nime of Winfield 8. Hancock. Gen. McClellan has eight vessels named for him, Robert E. Leo three and Jefferson Davis on-. There is a boat in Boston called Grover Cleveland, and two in New Orleans beai too same name. James u. ifiaine is in scribed on four vessels, while Chauncej If. Dpew and John Sherman are repre sented by one ship each in American waters. "Turn backward, turn backward, Oh, Time in thy flight," and bring to recol lection a scene that occurred two or threr years ao, wherein a handsome young lady addresses another lady, in a theatri cal scene, with the endearing word "Mother !" Both these ladies attend tin high school, one as a teacher, the other scholar. . "W ith a few of their friendi- I they went to a photographers yesterday to get their photos taken. The scholar has been in thehibit of addressing the teacher ai "Mi" on account of the above incident, and the photographer overhear ing that word whilo he was grouping th young ladies, came to the conrlusicr that some relation existed bee ween the two, which caused him to remark, "Now ladies, you ere in nice positions, if the 'mother would only step back a little." This utterance is causing no end of mirth among a few intimate friend.", but you would have to ees a Bird drinking from a well, Spa or Ford before you could as certain their name. THE STRIKE. "Some Say This and Some Say That," Form Your Own Con clusions. "So long as no other road will handle through freight from the C, B. & Q., the strike will be coafined to that road only. If other roads commence to handle such freight, then there will be a general strike of every road in the United States. We do not care if the C, B. & Q. aro able to procure men for all their engines, so long as the road docs merely local work, or in other words, are not aided by other works to transfer their frcighi. I went from Chariton, Iowa, a short time ago, us the Iowa Secretary of Joint Board of Adjustment on Burlington Sys tem, which is now in session in Chicago. We have forwarded telegrams to the "boys" to remain firm, but thought it expedient that some one should be select ed to go and visit them personally, cheer them up if necessary, and answer any auestions rouceruinir the strike: but I find my mission to this city is needless, for the boys require no encouragement; they are firm to their principals and cheer full. In fact, although I am glad to see them, still, if I had been aware that they were such a jolly lot of determined l nv ..f Pl.ti.mtl, n,,t would lmv crom, sf rftinrlit nn to T.inrrdn.

R. & Q. -n,wrh t i-nn nil tWir trnins on time, for six or twelye months to come, then what will you fellows do for sup port ?" "It will make no difference to us if we are out twenty years, because there are 40,000 engineers and firemen in the Unit ed States belonging to the Brotherhood, and the C, B. & Q. members are only a drop in the bucket, aud if our funds be come exhausted, which is not likely for years to come, the assessment on those not on strike for our support, would be a mere trifle. But as long as the C.,B. & Q. are not running through freight they are losing money every day, ana it is madness for them to continue the strike for very long. General Manager Stone has already offered propositions and is weakening every day. Good night, sir." This conversation took place at 9 r. m last night is the "Brotherhood" meeting rooms, between a Herald reporter and Mort. L. Bixlcr,a member of the Broth erhond board in Chicago, and exubiius the situation concerning the present, and what is likely to happen in the future. There is no secrecy about the meetings of the Brotherhoods. Anyone can visit their rooms in K. of L. hall, over Weck- bach's store, and will be made welcome. At 9:30 last night the rooms of the Brotherhood were crowded with as hand some and well-dressed ladies aa ever graced a mechanic's assembly. Theii lady-like deportment, polite and intelli gent conversation, is seldom surpassed in circles who have better opportunities of display and learning. Mothers were there, whose ruddy cheeks bttokened health and contentment. Their littlo prattlinc babes leaped and jumped with joy as they were handed from oue to the ;h?i iu playful glee. Rollicking children, overflowing with the exuberance of vouth were in abundance, while the young men and their sweethearts played cards or sang selections. What are usually called the "old and grave'' where laughing, joking and as happy as children just let out or scuooi. ine ai iterant groups around the room formed a beautiful tab- leaux of smiling faces, aad would cause foreman, A. II. Weckbach assistant forc a looker-in to think that there was ne man, A. Salisbury treasurer and secretary. such thing as sorrow, sickness or trouble. but this earth a paradise. One feature of the evening was a beau tiful cake made by Mr. J. T. Morrison, of the City Bikery. This was a master piece of the art of confectionary, On the top in letters of frosted sugar, waf inscribed : "Brothers ne'er snrrender, Stand up firm and true ; We'll all unite together. And mytify the 'Q.' " The cake was presented as a compli ment to C. P. Curtis, Master of the B. of L. F. of this city. The reporter wended his woary foot steps from this scene to the depot as thr passenger came in from the West It was I a doleful picture in comparison to the J last. Not a passenger in the coach, and I but one perceptible in the sleeper. No I one got off. Ing one got on. No one in the waiting rooms. No one at the lunch counter. No one on the platform, not even a railroad employe. The eugine whistled and departed like a phantom. as it was waiccea in us mysterious pro gress by a s ditary Pinkerton man and our reporter. The Pinkerton man went to the Perkins House and the reporter to sleep "to dream,- aye, there s the rub, for in this (strike) what dreams may come. "Hon. A. B.

Why are the bells so irregular. Can it be the fault of tho janitor's clock or the whistle ? Room No. 11 is not as much crowded as formerly, but it contains one of the best conducted schools in the city. Miss McDonnell has charge of the din ntr romn this week. It is not her week for duty but she is there all the same. Can any one explain why i Part of the rooms are in need of more seats, especially 4 and seven. There are more pupils thau seuts, and where they sit is past finding out; hut the scats are what we want. Mrs. Boeck has returned to her labors us toucher of the 4th wurd school, look ing bright and cheerful and much re freshed after her week's vacation, which she well deserved. There was considerable talk this morn ing among the teachers regarding an or der issued by the board as to who was entitled to the room after dismissal time, the ianitor or the tsacher. The board decided that the janitor whs the party to have charere after 3:40 i m. Home dis satisfaction exists regarding it Fmhtincr is beconnr.tr a daily occur- i " . . . rauce.
