THE NEBRASKA. INDEPENDENT July 17, 1902 Behind the Scenes, - - - BY HAROLD DEAN. tOooyrtfctit, 190X, by Daily Story Tu Co,) Fannie had dreamed of going on the stage as long aa she could remember since the first time she was taken to the theater and sat prim and proper between her parents The lights, the music, the wonderful panorama back f the footlights the applause the contagious enthusiasm all ' appealed to her fervent Imagination and left an Indelible mark. She had sought every opportunity to go and had reveled in dreams of one day emerging from these mysterious wings ' and bowing before an applauding multitude At first she kept her ambition secret. out as she grew Into younar woman hood it slipped out little by little. Her mother frowned, her father laughed. and her brother teased her. But it maae no . difference, excepting to strengthen her desire And now she actually was going to larade that wondrous realm yclept the green room Oh, bilss! Oh, Joy! Of course papa and mamma and brother Ked would be furiously angry if they knew it, but they need not know until she had made her start and then they would be so proud of her that it would be all right. And then there was Tom. She trembled a little as she thought of the effect on Tom. He had given her such emphatic advice to "cut It out" at the mere mention of a stage career, and had pointed out the dan cers ana nara snips or tne lire so strongly that she scarcely dared to think of what he might say or do if he knew. And Tom loved her so dear ly and she really was very fond of Tom. But one cannot sacrifice a ca reer to girlish sentiment. If he really loved her he would be proud to see her a great actress and she could mar ry Mm anyway and he could, travel with her might even be her manager. Yes, on the whole, that would be the Very thin. She was very nervous about It all, though. She rather shuddered at the memory of that nightmare of standing ta line In the dirty alley together with a score or more of bedraggled young women who had appeared in' answer to aa advertisement in the newspaper for "extras." The atmosphere of stale beer and cigarettes still clung to her and had cost her great extravagances in the matter of parfume3 and much persistence in the matter of baths. But she had been taken, greatly to the disgust of the shoving, sneering crowd. '"There's a fresh one, better try her," the stage manager had said to his as sistant. "She'll be fine in that ball room scene. Have ye got any good clothes ?" To be sure she had, and so the bar gain was dosed. It was for a week's run and she had been stumped at first as to ways and means to get away from home for seven consecutive nights tin til so late an hour. But am bition conquers all things, and she had arranged it with her dearest friend, who lived in a distant suburb, to spend the entire week with her. She had to tell Ethel all about it, but Ethel was to be trusted. It was a trifle risky, she admitted, but what wouldn't she risk to get on. the stage. Then she had taken an apartment in an obscure ho tel under an assumed name and was prepared for her debut. Of course it was not what would be deemed proper by the censors of good society, but there was nothing really wrong about it Still she trembled a little at the thought of what Tom might say or do if he heard of it. But the theater wg.g TMrf ATlA ttisi Tvt nro n?vmi a4 but rather a cheap stock affair, and there was little chance of Tom's going there. And when she got a regular engagement she would fight it out with him. Then she would tell him he must take her with her art or leave her to pursue It alone. She was a trifle disappointed at the first Impression of "behind the scenes." 111 " She dropped her fan and nearly upset the scene. It was all so confused and dirty and unfinished. It seemed more like an old lumber room than a fairyland. The dressing room to which she was as signed, together with two other "ex tras. was so little that only one could more at a time where it required the extending of an arm or elbow. The others stood against the wall. It was eo squalid and dirty that Fannie in sensibly drew up her skirts. One of the girls smoked cigarettes and both used slang and even profanity freely. Their conversation and stories, which were principally about the other sex, nearly nauseated her. But she reflect ed that this was only the beginning. Rtmn she would be a real actress and ttave a room to herself. Everything went off nicely on the otetiing night and Fannie was given a -word of commendation by the stage 3B&naer f or the way she carried her- AACfcVa. Mifi0V ww- 0w , 5 bit frightened and was worried only lest somebody la the audience might recognize hen But that would be im possible with her make-up. It ran along very nicely until the third night, when as she glanced out at the audi ence the first face she saw was that of Tom. Yes, Tom;' right there in the fourth row in' the parquet.; la her surprise and consternation she dropped her fan and nearly upset the scene She stood staring at the familiar face as la a trance until a harsh voice from the wings recalled her "Pick up that fan,' you lobster Pick it up quick arid come out of that trance or I'll wring your infernal neck. There ain't no ghosts out there" ; v , '.' J . ' " " It was the stage. manager, and she recovered herself instantly, picked up the fan gracefully, and went on with her business. , When the scene was over she went to the dressing room all atremble. , Had he seen her and what would he do and say? Wellany way, there was no backing out now. Still she really loved Tom and she kiiw.she would be heartbroken If he left her. So perturbed was she that SPECIAL MARKET LETTER "Fannie!" "Tom!" she scarcely noticed that the call boy brought a note for "Jen," the room aiate who smoked cigarettes and was a "drug store- blonde." "Here's a go," remarked that young woman. "Freddie Holmes is out there in the audience and wants to put up a alee little supper after the show. Has i friend with him and wants to know if I can't bring along one of the other iirls. Well, won't I? Freddie is a rum guy and always does it right. Wine and all that sort of thing. Want to to, Mag?" "Do I! Swell supper and wine In stead of ham sandwich and beer. Well. I guess." "All right," responded "Jen;" "they'll be around on the stage after it's over. Freddie's a friend of the press agent." Fannie had only one more scene on. the last, and her disguise was more complete in that. She eyed Tom nar rowly and decided that he had not recognized her. He was laughing and chatting with a companion a sporty booking character, and looked not at xil perturbed. After the last scene she gave the ;ther two girls the .right of way in he dressing room, as they were in a Uarry to keep their engagement.' She aeard the introductions on the outside ind overheard the discussion between 'Jen" and "Freddie" as to which res taurant they would go to. While It jras still going on she completed her iressing, opened the door and. walked out and directly into Tom. "Fannie!" "Tom!" The exclamations were Identical as to time and inflection. Which was the most surprised is a matter of conjec ture to this day. Yes, there was Tom talking with that horrible "Mag," and vidently was the friend of "Freddie's" who was to take her to the little wine supper. It was a case for mutual explana ilons and they withdrew to an obscure corner and had them. As a result Tom withdrew from the supper party and E's.nnie finally and forever gave up her histrionic ambition. Both swore to temal secrecy regarding the entire iffalr and fully forgave each other. Which was about the best way out of it wasn't It? . rrt KUan Bjtr tor Schooling. Jamies Preatcn, the artist, returned recently from Porto Rico, where he was deeply impressed by the natives wiser desire to get an education. There are about fifty American school hoiu in Porto Rico now the Wash ington, the Lincoln, the Penn, the Mc fvinley. the Jefferson, the Irving, the Hamilton, and so onand about 1,300 pupils are attending them," said Mr. Preston. "One of the principals point ed out to me a young girl of 17, very pretty, who walked, he explained, twenty miles to and from school daily, slept on a bare floor and begged near ly all her food, she was so poor. This was one of his best students. A boy had on a shirt so much too big for hira that his wholeperson could have slipped easily through the opening at tho. neck, 'What's the trouble- with your shirt, my lad ? the principal asked. The boy answered: This ain't mine; if s father's.- 'Mine's -in - the wash. t That boy would , have come naked rather than have missed a les son, In a town I visited there is a night school. The men who attend it bring their own candles' and sit on the schoolroom floor in groups of three, one candle to each group. The Intelligence of the Porto Ricans, their teachers say, is as remarkable as is their thirst after knowledge.

Committee Meeting Lincoln, Neb.,' July 10,' 1902. The populist state central committee, of Nebraska, is hereby called to meet at 2 p. m., July 18, 1902, at the Lindell hotel. In Lincoln, Neb., for the pur pose of forming a permanent organi zation and to .transact such other bus iness as may properly come before it C. B. MANUEL, H. E. DAWES, Temp. Chairman. Ample Reason. The committee was ushered into the room occupied by Senator Grab ball and warml- welcomed. "What can I do for you. my friends' asked the senator. "We have come to ask you why you voted against the bill providing for the popular election of senators after being convinced that your constitu ents desired the adoption of that meas ure," replied the spokesman of the committee. "Gentlemen, I am truly glad of this opportunity to explain my position. I voted against the bill because I did not think it best. I have many meas ures in view calculated to benefit the people, all of which I shall endeavor to enact into law after my re-election." "But why did you not support this one measure which the people want?" "Because, gentlemen, I fear that if I had to depend upon the people I would not be returned to the senate, thus depriving the people of an earn est champion." Realizing that Senator Graball doubtless knew his own record better than they, the committee thoughtful ly retired. $4,670,500 IN FORGE $1,336,500 WRITTEN IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS THIS IS THE MAGNIFICENT RECORD OF THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE As Shown by Its Semi-Annual Report to Stockholders All Death Losses Paid.

Bath bags of oatmeal and orris, or of shav ed soap and almond flour, are i also pleasant additions to the ath . The bath is one of the beet agencies in pre venting old age, so far as appearance goes. The people who bathe them selves "properly are few In number The great unwashed are not found among the poverty-stricken, but in every class In life. The person who talks about his "plunge" that he takes daily, is not the person who has a proper hath any more than is he who takes a "sponge.' The cold plune and the cold sponge. art tonics, and good for those with whom they agree. For the morning sponge warm salt Water is delightful and very invigorating. The water Is easily and cheaply prepared by dissolving a cupful of rock salt in a pint of warm water, then adding it to the bath water After the sponge rub briskly with a Turkish towel. Rough ness of the skin and chapping in win ter - are often caused by the skin be ing imperfectly dried. For persons suffering from poor circulation bran baths are recommended.' and as they require only a tub of warm water, a peck of bran, and a rough towel or so, surely they are within the reach of everyone. The bran costs only a few cents, and should be emptied into the warm water.. The surface of the body must be well rubbed with the mixture, and after the bath: one will be found to be not duly beautifully cleansed, but warmed and invigorated. Oatmeal may be used instead of the bran, but of course is more expensive, although with some ' skins; 'especially delicate ones, . it agrees much, better. It must not he forgotten, . however, that the cold plunge or the morning sponge is not enough to keep the skin in good condition. They bring the blood to the surface, but do not keep the outer layer of the skin, sweat-glands and tho oil follicles healthy. Philadelphia Telegraph. ' PURIFICATION OF WATER. Nikola Teste BeUeToa It Can Bo Don by aa EUootrtcnl Process. Nikola Tesla, wLj is here arranging for the manufacture of apparatus for his wireless telegraph system, has in teresting ideas about many things. Un doubtedly he is a brilliant electrician, capable of much useful achievement He Is highly imaginative,as all original investigators are of necessity, for there could be no creation without the crea tive mind. It does not follow that his imaginings are all . vain, not by any means, though it , Is : natural that his fancy might take unwarranted flights to Mars or other objects In remote space. Mr. Tesla ' is especially Interest ed In an electrical process for purify ing water, says thte Pittsburg Dispatch. The project is feasible at least from a scientific point ofvlew and It Is to be hoped he will be able to make It prac ticable In both the mechanical and eco nomical senses. If the thing can be done on a large scale as cheaply as water can be filtered It will prove a boon to all mankind. In respect to the water supply of Pittsburg, however, Mr. Tesla's idea is not of immediate import. He is engrossed in perfecting the wireless telegraph an undertaking that will tax his- resources, material and mental, for: some time. Pittsburg must be content. with filtration for the present. It will be glad to get rid of 98 per cent Of Impurities after a long ex perience in taking its water unrefined, though the people will live in the hope that some day Mr. Tesla will take away the other 2 per cent of microbes and give them water pure and vivified. The Japanese Geisha Girl. Of course we are all wrong in our views of the geisha, based as they are on an English opera bearing her name and traducing her character, and it is pleasant to have our mistakes set right on this point. Etymologieally a geisha is an accomplished person; socially she Is an entertainer who has been trained from the age of 7 or 8 to dance or sing for the amusement of guests at a dinner party. Probably her parents have leased her for a number of years to a teacher who undertakes to board and ti-ain her, to procure engagements and to chaperon her, to pay a fixed sum to her family, as -well as a tax to the government, in return for all of which a sufficient recompense is as sured by the fees which a talented artist is able to-earn. Less frequently she lives at home and obtains engage ments through an agent, who receives only a percentage of her gains. Her social position is explained by the fact that inasmuch as convention has ban ished the actress from the Japanese stage the celebrated Mr. Danjuro, for instance, ' is renowned for his enact ment of female characters the geisha takes her place as the natural recip ient of masculine homage, It depends upon herself how she lives, but she is undoubtedly much courted and some times makes a brilliant match.

HOW TOM JOHNSON STARTED ON ROAD TO FORTUNE. m Rapid BIm ta InratsrlDe, Ky., freas Offiee Boy to Saeerln leaden t of - Street Railway Sketeh of Cleveland's ' millonnlre Mayer -. They tell stories In Louisville about the start which Tom Johnson, recently elected mayor of Cleveland, made there on his road to fortune. He went there at the age of " 14 and secured .employ ment as an offiee boy at $2 a week in a foundry. His duties consisted of keep Ing the office clean, running errands and picking up odd scraps that got Into other people's way. B. du Pont who was part owner of . the foundry, saw the industrious u office boy rush one day into the street,- pick up a bit of iron and, returning throw it on the scrap heap Inside. When the boy re entered the office, Mr. du Pont said to him: rr,' S' '' ' '." "Why did you do that, my son?" "Why, sir," said Tom, a bit embar rassed, "there was no use wasting It They can put It in the furnace and use It over again' "Well, I Just think I caa use you, young man, in the street car business. How would you like to come at $7 a week?".,,. . ,.. ....... Young Johnson accepted the $5 raise with alacrity. Mr. du Pont controlled the Fourth avenue and Walnut street lines. One barn was at Eighteenth and Walnut streets and at Fourth avenue and Main streets was the drawing sta tion. All the cars of the system had to pass there, and it was there that the money was drawn from the big, clumsy boxes into which the fares were dropped. One of the rules of the com pany was that as each bag of money was drawn, the drawer must carry it into the office, put it into the safe and close the door. To this rule Johnson owed his promotion from office boy. Mr. du Pont was seldom at the draw ing station during the day, and in time the drawers grew careless. No one had access to the room but the draw ers, and knowing one another to be honest, they formed the habit of care lessly throwing the hags of money on the floor and. piling them all into the safe in a heap at the end of the day or when they thought Mr. du Pont might be around. One day the chief drawer was ill and young Johnson, the office boy was. sent by Mr. du Pont from Eighteenth and Walnut streets to. Fourth and Main streets to help out. Johnson read the rules and in drawing the bag of money from the first car, he bounded up the steps to the room, opened the safe, threw In the money and slammed the door. "Wlr-t in hades did you do that for?" demanded the bookkeeper. "The rules say so,", answered the sub-drawer over his shoulder as he ran down the steps to meet another car. The same thing was repeated a dozen times. Then the bookkeeper wheeled around and demanded: "Don't you think I'm honest? Do you think I want to steal any of that d d money?" "Dunno," answered Johnson, "but the rule says, 'Put the bag in the safe and shut the door,' and that's what I'm going to do whether you like it or not." The bookkeeper Jumped off his stool Just as Mr. du Pont stepped in. "What's all this row about?" he asked. "This young fool Is acting as if he thought I was trying to steal your money," the bookkeeper replied. "I was just obeying the rule, Mr. du Pont" spoke up young Johnson. "Here it is," and he showed the president of the company the rule." . "All right, my boy," said Mr. du Pont "since you obey the rules so well I'll make you chief drawer right now." Two years later, when he was 17, Johnson was superintendent of the road. Utica Globe. Fuel of the Dakota. Compressed hay, straw and corn stalks are promised to the people of the Dakotas as fuel. On the prairies of those states wood is comparatively unknown and coal is a luxury. Hay and such like fuels have been forced into use. being consumed with fairly good results in specially designed stoves. Experiments recently made, however, will revolutionize all this. It has been demonstrated, according to reports, that a plant for the manufac ture of straw fuel can be erected for about 115,000, which will have a ca pacity for making fifty tons a dayThe fuel will be In the shape of round sticks, nine to twelve inches In diam eter and two, four and six feet in length. The material will be as hard as wood and will last longer and make a better heat than soft coal. - ' "v -;r;K::v,t: A Little Fable, iv:.:'- WHEREIN IS RELATED THE EASY METHOD BY WHICH THE PUB LIC IS ALWAYS FOUND HOLD ING THE SACK! - : ' A Railway Merger, while meander ing down the public Highway, met a Citizen sitting disconsolately by tho Roadside, . v.
