ally dedicated. That is a day for
every Nebraskan to remember. Every
one should try to attend the opening
Ipxercises on Nebraska Day.
Finally Decided.
Chicago, 111, May 26. Sunday
opening has won the day. Thirty mem
bers of the national commission went
on record in favor of the Sunday open
ing rule submitted by (he directors.
Twenty-seven commissioners voted
against conaideration of the rule. On
a final test the commission voted to
substitute the minority or Sunday
opening report of the judiciary com
mittee for the majority report. . which
favored Sunday closing. The question
then came up on the modification of
tne directory rule with the same vote.
The minority report found its advo
cates in Commissioners St. Clair and
Burton.
After Commissioner St. Clair had
concluded his speech in favor of the
minority report, Commissioner Eiqoeck
called up bis motion that the minority
report be substituted for the majority.
It was the first test vote and every
commissioner present was recorded
Commissioners Massey and Alien of
New York, who were compelled to
leave were given unanimous consent to
go on record against Sunday opening.
The Sunday opening advocates claim
there will be no quorum of the com
mission in town and that consideration
will, therefore, be impossible. Three
tf the members gave notice that they
would leave the city soon, and if tbey
did the point of no quorum will be ef
fective. The council of administration has de
cided to open the fair to the public
three evenings each week, Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday evenings being
designated. On each of these evenings
there will be concerts aud electric dis

LADY MAJENDIE
CHAPTER XIII. Continued.
"The flittiiiR indeed! I must beg, Mrs.
Lovel, that you will not pack anything.
The tables and chairs here are not fit for
the scullery af Salford Abbey. Every
thing must begin brand-now. Mr. Smith
has undertaken to engaee servants for
the whole establishment."
Naunie gave a littlo gasp. "How
many must we have?"
"Here is the list."
"A lady's maid! what can 1 do with a
grand lady to wait on me?"
"Why, let her wait on you, to be
sure."
"Ah, well, she can help me with mak
ing Dita's things."
it was on the point of Andrew's tongue
to say "You must never make any
thing more for Dita;" but ho suppresed
the words, comforting himself by think
ing that it would look maternal and
interesting; but poor Nannie it seemed
that everything she said or did was
wrong, how should she teach herself?
She took away the list to think over and
study.
, In the kitchen Dita and Jaques were
sitting, the former making her slave tell
her stories of the possessions she would
soon call her own; of a pony to ride, and
swans to feed, cows to see milked, and
flowers to pick. They were all living in
a world of unreality, and Nannie began
to long for the crisis to bo over.
Up to the present time, about once a
year. Master Malcolm had written from
Dunmonaigh, asking for news of As
sunta's child, whom ho always called by
the ceremonious name of Margaret Gris
elda, unwitting that her adopted parents
had changed her name; and Andrew had
been very careful always in keeping up
the illusion. The fact that any ono
should know that his little Dita had
been taken by him trom the workhouse,
was indescribably galling to him in his
new circumstances; and when the an
nual letter arrived, he saw a way of cut
ting off the inquiries of the Minister,
and causing him to lose sight of them
altogether, as he carefully, abstained
from answering it, and left a commission
with a neighbor to write after he had
quitted Edgar Street, and say that Mr.
Falrdon and family had lett the neigh
borhood that they had assumed another
name inheriting a considerable property,
and had left no address. The Minister
was thus compelled to give up all inter
course with them, and it seemed as if
every tie was cut off between Perdita
and her native country.
At last the great day came; littlo Dita
was wild with excitement and delight
Andrew more pompous than ever, and
poor Mrs. Lovel (for she had now fairly
adopted her new name) quite shaky and
tremulous. No one knew what it cost
her to be dressed bv the weeping Betty
In that black silk gown which iooked as
If it might stand alone, in the black lace
shawl and feathered bonnet; but the
dross became her well, and the good
taste of the dress-maker having come to
herald, she looked quite as sho should
do, and was free from superfluous trim
mings. Dita was all in white, with daisies in
hor hat The child had an innate look
of noble race; and the difference of dress
did not alter her appearance.
It was settled that Mr. Lovel and
Jaques should start first, and that Mrs.
Lovel and Dita should follow by a train
two hours later; thus Andrew could sec
that all was ready for their reception.
He was very anxious that she should bo
pleased more anxious than ho cared to
show, or even to allow to himself.
Nannie was met at the London station
by a footman, who touched his hat and
told her that he had taken their places.
She would fain have carried her own bag,
but It was civilly taken from her, and
she followed in haste into the station.
It was a comfort when she. and the
child, and Fluff were safo In the train,
and the footman had given her the
tickets. Dita could not sit still; she
went from ono window to another, and
chattered, and felt certain that every
station they passed must be the right
one.
At last the long-expected name was
shouted Langford Junction and the
footman threw open the door. A small
private omnibus with a pretty brown
horse was standing outside.
"From Salford?" asked the man, and
on hearing the answer in the affirmative,
handed in Mrs. Lovel, and went back for
the luggage. The coachman did not
wait; the little omnibus was whirled
away, and poor Nannie held Dita's hand
fast in her nervousness, infecting the
sensitive child with something like her
own sensations.
Meanwhile, the footman, sorting his
luggage, was accosted bv a very grand
lady, who asked him, condescendingly
what was waiting to take her to Salford
Abbey, She told him that she was the
oew housekeeper, and was expected to
arrive bv tbe train. Going out of the
station, Robert was astonished and dls-
mayod by finding that the omnibus was
sods and a brougham waiting; he saw
the mistake he bad mado, perceiving
that tbe brougham must have come for
tha lady, and the omnibus for the house
keeper. However, It was too late to
remedy tbe mlstaice, and Mrs. Poole not
Into tbe brougham and started on her
drive.
Andrew and Jacques were waiting at
the window watching for the travelers
to some; when the omnibus came In view
they were astonished that It should have
started first. A tootmaa came and told
Andrew that Mrs. Poole had arrived.
CASTLE
and bad brought Miss Lovel with her;
they had been shown into the house
keeper's room.
Andrew's heart misgave him, and bid
ding Jaques follow, he went down stairs,
and found Nannie very much icwildured,
not knowing where she was. The ser
vants who were present did not know
which way to look, but Nannie tran
quilly took Dita's hand and followed her
husband ud stairs; but she knew in her
heart that it was an unfortunate begin
ning.
Salford Abbey retained much of its
monastic character. It was a large, low
house, built round a square court filled
with grass and having in tbe center a
stone wall. The passages round this
court had been cloisters, and their beau
tiful tracery had been kept in very good
order, and was greatly admired. Glass
windows closed the arches now, and
glass doors opened on to the grass.
The entrance into the frontof the house
was by a low door covered tbickly with
ivy; it darkened the window which gave
light to the long, narrow, stone lobby
Into which it opened, so that the tirst
effect on entering was one of darkness
and gloom. This lobby ended in a low
arch, before which hung a fine tapestry
portiere, and from thence you emerged
into what had formerly Loen the refec
tory, and was now a large hall the full
height of tbe house. This hall was the
great beauty of Salford.. It was paneled
with black oak, and decorated with old
armor and banners: over the chimney
pieco was a fine trophy of arms, and the
straight-backed oak chairs were all cov
ered with heraldic shields. Andrew
Lovel had indeed achieved bis wish to
become possessor of an old feudel place.
On oncside of the hall was a row of low
square windows which looked Into the
cloisters, and formerly opened into them,
but were now filled with glass; each ot
these windows had a seat of most invit
ing character. A great oak table in the
center of the hall was covered with flow
ers, and fine pots of pyramidal azaleas
stood in Mie corners.
The hall was lighted by a great win
dow in tbe east wall, filled with armorial
bearings in stained glass.
Doors from the hall led to the more
modern part of the house to the drawing-rooms,
and the dining-room which
was paneled with oak like the hall.
Nannie looked round and telt her
heart sink, as It had never sank before;
in her happiest dreams she had thought
of bright sunny rooms, clean crackling
chlnt7.es, laces antimaccassars, and glit
tering chandeliers; but how unlike this
was to what she had expected! A weight
seemed to have fallen upon her; those
dreadful black walls, this great resoundr'
ing place It oppressed her; sho felt as
if she never could be her own self therej
It was better when the housemaid came
to take her up to her own room. She
left Dita with her husband, and followed
the kind-looking Ann.
The staircase was of oak also, and
very slippery, and Nannie had to hold
fast bv the banisters. Her room was in
the front of the house,; looking over an
expanse of green park with fine trees.
It was very grand, she felt, but she found
that one of the little rooms opening into
it was to be Dita's, and this was so
dainty and pretty, all white dimity and
rosebuds, that sho could think no more
of the gloom of the four-post bed with
its canopy of yellow silk.
Ann was lingering about with a pained
look on a most comely face, when it sud
denly struck Mrs. Lovel what she was
longing to sav, but could not get out
She put her hand on the woman's
shoulder, and said, "Never inind; I do
not at all wonder at your taKing me for
the housekeeper you will know me
DOW."
She could not help her eyes filling with
tears. Ann was much touched.
"Oh, ma'am, if I could tell you how
sorry I am."
"Youneed not mind," said Nannie,smil
Ing an April smile; "you see 1 have been
in a humble position in life.and now that
I am no longer young enough to change
In everything, God has seen fit to send
us great wealth so 1 cannot hope to be
like my husband, who is, as one may
say, born to it; but don't fret any more,
and do your duty by me, as I will try to
do mine by vou." Ann went away, her
mistress's friend for life.
CHAPTER XIV.
The noxt morning was brilliantly fine,
the dew sparkling Id the sun. When
Mrs. Lovel rose, tshe threw open her
windows, and stood enchanted by the
beauty of the sweet, fresh country. The
park was very undulating, the road
crossed it for about half a mile, and then
loitii Itself in woods. Near the house
stood some large trees, at the entrance
of some shrubbery, and under them the
turf was of that thick velvety texture
which no turf that is not very old will
ever attain.
Nannie went in to call Dita; the child
was tired with her journey, and still
slept very soundly, with her round arms
clasped over her head. . Nannie woke
her with many kisses, and she sat up
rubbing hor ayes.
"Ob, niamtnle. how pretty you look!"
she cried; and Naunie found some pleas
ure in her pink dressing gown, as the
child admired It so much.
When she was dressed and had flown
to tbe window with a cry oi delight,
Nannie felt a feeling of happiness that
sho bad not known for a long time. It
was delightful to be once raoro In tbe
beautiful country.
Whon breakfast was over, Andrew
said that the agent, Mr. Smith, was com
ing to foe him, and he advised Mrs.
Lovel to enter Into a thorough examina
tion of tho house from head to foot. ' So
Nannie's first day in her new home was
a busy and pleastnt one.
Sho saumoned the housekeeper,' who
accompanied her on her - rounds; and
they opened every door and - every cup
board, examined wardrobes and chests
of drawers, looked into tbe condition of
the stores, and were thoroughly busy.
After luncheon, which was a terrible
ordeal to Mrs. Lovel, Androw took tbem
out, ano they visited the beautiful old
fashioned garden, with Its yew-hedges
and flower beds, inlaid In green turf.
They would have enjoyed ibis but for
the gardener, who insisted on taking
tbem over the whole place, and in'.'
every greenhouse and hothouse, gather
ing a splendid nosegay for Mrs. Lovel
and presenting it to her with in air as if
all he surveyed was his own.
The man did not look happy; in his
heart he was very sad, for every one in
tbe place bad loved the Norton, and
the change was bitter. Nannie felt
this instinctively, and shrank more into
herself.
When she was tired with her unwonted
exertions, she went home with Andrew,
and pita and Jaques and Fluff eontiiimid
their explorations. They went across
the park.and looked dowu into the lovely
littlu trout-stream, so clear and swift,
aud followed it into the woods, where the
silence wasonly broken by a chorus oi
uirds aud insects; and the smells of the
bracken and wild-flowers almost intoxi
cated the little town-bred child.
As time passed on a trouble came on
Nannie, of which she had never dreamt
in her experience; this was the most de
vouring of troubles ennui: she had
nothing to do. After breakfast tho cook
would come for orders, and stay tor per
haps ten minutes; then she took Dita out
for a walk; but she was unused to walk
ing, and got easily tired, and by eleven
o'clock was glad to leave the child with
ber maid, and go home. Herowu sitting
room was very pretty and sunuy, and
furnished with pleasant books; but she
had no habit of reading, and her eyes
wero not so goad as they used to be, and
she wearied of her books. Andrew had
bought licr a fine piece of worsted-work,
but sho felt as 11 it would never be in
lshed, and hated the regular pattern.
She had no other resources. Oh for one
morning of hearty scrubbing and wash
ing up! She used to sing gayly at her
work, with an eye on Dita's perilous
amusements in the yard all the time.
Oh to see Andrew once more in his black
apron, struggling with difficult rhymes!
His poetical irritability then was nothing
to her; very different from the constant
finding fault now, which only served to
make her shv and awkward.
In these days Nannie's soft hair turned
very gray, and her voice, from its old
cherry sweetness, acquired a weakness
in tone, and she spoke low, as those do
who often cry by themselves in secret.
One of tho most painful of tho ordeak
through which Mrs. Lovel had to pass
was the visits of the neighboring families;
tor Andrew was so anxious that she
should please theiu that it madu her
painfnily.nervous.
One day, about six months after they
had been settled at Salford, a largo party
arrived, consisting of a neighboring land
owner's wife, Mrs. Lee Aston, and her
daughter, and a party of guests who
were staying with them, who had wished
to see Salford Abbey.
Nannie's heart sank within her when
she saw how many there were. They
were shown into the drawing-room, and
her nerveousncss was so great that she
could get out nothing but monosyllables.
Andrew was strolling about in tho
garden in a studid country gentleman's
dress, and she received them alone.
The Leo Astons came expecting to be
amused, and Andrew, when ho came in,
satisfied their fullest expectations. It
seemed to Nannie that tbey wero draw
ing him out, for he had never appeared
to so little advantage. He took thom
round the old rooms and the cloister,
pompously telling them tho history of
the place, which they knew far better
than he did.
One of tho party was a tall grave man,
who seemed as if he did not enter Into
the joking and laughter of the younger
people; he leTt Andrew to go round with
his guests, and stayed behind with Mrs.
Lovel.
"Have you met my sister-in-law yet,
Mrs. Lovel?" he said.
"I do not know," sho answered, "io;
I do not know your name."
He smiled. "I am Mr. Norton," he
said: ''Lady Norton is my sister-in-law,
and I am tne guardian to the boy."
"It seems very hard that this place
should, have left its rightful owner," said
Nannio. He looked at her sharply,
aud then said kindly, "I am very glad
that it has fallen into your hands. I
wanted to ask a great favor of your hus
band, and that Is, to allow my nephew to
fish in the trout-stream. He is fond' of
fish ng, and being home from Eton for
the holidays, it will bo a great resource
o him."
"I am sure Andr Mr. Lovel will be
honored, delighted I moan poor young.
gentleman."
"Lady Norton would call on you, I
know, but she naturally shrinks from
returning here under such different cir
cumstances. There are a great many of
the poor people in whom she is much in
terested, aud about whom it would be
the greatest comfort to her to talk to
you. I wonder if I might ask you to call
upon her?" '
"If she would allow me if she would
not think it a liberty I should be very
glad."

Junius Booth's S arrow Escape.
Harry Langdon was playing with
Junius Brutus Booth at the time Mr.
Lincoln was killed by Booth's brother.
Mr. Langdon remarked to me :
"I saved Mr. Booth from walking
into the midst of a crowd at Cincinnati
that might have torn him to pieces.
We were stopping at the same hotel
and playing together. Me did. not think
at first that it was his brother who had
killed Mr. Lincoln. He was about to
go right out into the midst of the infuri
ated people. 1 saw that lie was trans
ferred from room to room in the hotel,
and, as successive dispatches came into
the city and tho tune progressed,
asked him if he was now satisfied that
his brother John bad killed Mr. Lin
coln. 'Yes,' said he, 'I think the evi
dence is now conclusive that John did
it.' We took a walk in Cincinnati,
somewhat disguised that is to say, we
had slouching hats. He was a good
deal affected, and at my suggestion he
gave himself up when we got to l'hila
delphia. We went from Cincinnati
direct to Philadelphia. He was sent to
the Old Canitol prison at Washington,
I do not think that the brothers of John
Booth had any feelings in common with
him on the Southern question."

CLEVELAND. 0 May la.- or
minutes Thursday morning a cyclone,
r something nearly approaching one
toyed with wires, scaffolds, wagous ana
even people in this city. The first in
imatioa of the blow was a cloud o.
.lust and debris that swooped down on
she city from the west, and before pre
parations could be made to meet the
ale it had come, done its mischief and
-parted. '1 wo men were killed, three
were fatally injured and at least fifty
people were cut and bruis;d by being
nrowu to the pavement or against
buil lings. The Cleveland Boiling Mill
company iserectiug a new mill in New
burg and the scaffolding was blown
down, burying Vaclay Robeck and
John Poplewski under the ruins. They
were dead when taken out. The fatally
injured are Anthony McGuire and
inton Arcolski. At the corner of
Erie and Superior streets scaffolding
was blown to the ground and four men
who were working underneath it were
seriously injured. They were William
Omelia, Michael Murphy, Michael
Hughes and Miles Johnson. The first
two were badly hurt and it is possible
they will not recover. The viaduct
that connects the two sides of the city
was a scene of wild excitement. The
wind was so strong that several wagons
were blown on their side3 aud narrow
ly escaped being blown into the Hals
below.
I'EOPLE BLOWN FItOM THKIIt FEET.
In the heart of the city, near the
postollice, several ladies were blown
from their feet and rolled into the mid
dle of the street. Two of them were
seriously bruised. On Superior st-eet,
near Doan two houses were blown
and the house at 78 State3 street was
demolished. Xo one was injured in
either instance. About seventy feet of
the Lake Shore freight depot was de
molished and the roof was seut flying
to the lake shore itself. A car on the
Scoville avenue line was blown from
the track and three passengers were
given a good shaking up. Numbers of
the trees that line the street of the city
were uprooted and thrown to the pave
ment Telephone and electric light
wires were torn from their fastenings
and the city was without incandescent
light during the remainder of the day.
The weather bureau said that it was
not a cyclone, but a brisk seventy-five-mile
an hour gale that was purely
local. The motion of the wind was no
circular, but its great force did the
mischief. The damage to property will
amount to several thousand dollars.
The rain fell in torrents while the blow
lasted, but ceased as soon as the force
of the wind was expended
Swept All Before It.
Detoit, May 25. A terrific wind
md rain storm broke over the city
this morning and continued to increase
iu violence until noon' when it was
blowing sixty miles an hour. The
streets are almost obstructed bybroKen
liade trees. Xearly all the telegraph
ind telephone wires are down. It is
feared great damage was done through-
Hit Michigan and that there were many
wrecks on the lake. It is known that
t'reat damage was done at Adrian. At
Lenewee Junction the storm amounted
o a tornado. Barns were blown down,
ircliards destroyed and caops levelled
to the ground. The highways between
Adrian and Tecumseh are almost im
passable, being obstructed by overturn
ed trees and at Romulus buildings were
ti(own down, windows broken, and
trees uprooted. Many buildings were
mroofed in the vicinity of Dundee.
At Holly the opera house was unroofed
md half the buildings and stores wreck
id. Many houses were damaged.
