ABOUT YOUNG WIYJB.
HE city life of
homeless young
married people Is
a very doleful sub
ject to write on.
They have good,
though moderate
Ineomcs, they are |
clever. In excellent i
health, active, en
ergetic young men
and women, and
yet they have elected to live In board
ing houses and hotels. Elevators car
ry them to upper stories of huge car
avansaries, where they take possession
< f a bedroom, a parlor and a dressing
room. Here they add to the rich biU
unmistakably hotel furniture the pret
ty trifles, easily transported, which
were among their wedding presents,
and, they de< Inre themselves content.
T hey partake of meals, ordered from
long hills of fare, cooked by foreign
ers, always rich and Indlgeutlble and
often of doubtful origin, and sit at Ut
ile tgbles observing and being ob
rervkd with that long, critical stare
which Js learned only In such surround
ings.
The wife has no duties; nothing In
heir lives exercises her skill, her
brain power or her ingenuity. Her
husband receives no help or delight
Irom the labor of her hands or as
the result of her good judgment. Half
of her endowments are lying dormant,
and almost every power she has is
dulled from want of use. After her
husband leaves her for his ofllct, she
has to think out some occupation for
the day. She shops and visits; If she
Is musical, she practices a little; If
she is bookish, she goes, perhaps, to a
• mcrury class or a lecture. nuiniuit
faxes her resume ■*, no one I* help
ed or benefited by her wise rule. Lack
ing that great prop and stuff, personal
responsibility, she ha* no taste of the
Joy of a personal achlevenient and sue
cess. There Is no way lit which either
husband or wile can express themselves
In the material things by which they
arc surrounded. These furnished
rooms are to tbelr personal eharucter
lutlc* like ready-made clothing to
llielr bodies, and betray In one way
and another that they are "misfit*.”
Worse still, to my thinking, Is life
In smaller boarding-houses, where the
Independence and Isolation possible In
large hotels Is lost, and the element*
of criticism and gossip find such con
genial soli In which to lodge their
fast-growing seeds.
1 know no sadder words than home
less and childless! There Is a mourn
ful inflection In thjlr very sounds, and
yet these prettily dressed, eager, rest
in'* young women are both these sor
rowful thing*. If (lod has d»nlcd
tItem the crown of motherhood, it
would he better to take some mother*
less baby to their hearts than to live
ail ibcir lives without the guiding
hand of a little child in theirs arid the
i !**p of little loving arms about their
racks. I say guiding, with very sin
cere faith that there Is no such attrac
tion toward i noble life a* the depend
ence and love of childhood, nor tyiy
such rebuke as the surprise or fear in
a child's Inaoceut eyes.

All the literature of the past tends to
prove that women ought to live In
subjection to men -because literature
lius always been In the hands of men.
Literature tells us that man was

as an afterthought, in order to bo a
companion to him. llut science knows
nothing of this tale.
Now, the strength of women lies In
the fact that men cannot do wit haul

would have become extinct long ago

Weyler Kefuaea In tjnlt.
Madrid, Oet. 8.—At n cabinet coun
cil last night, the government decided
to grunt autonomy to Cuba under the
suzerainty of Spain, and to continuo
the campaign as long as may be nec
essary.
Henor Hagasta, the premier, has re
ceived u cable message from Captain
General Weyler, who offer* Ills serv
ice* to tho government and say*: “1
shall not rciign."
Havana, Oct 7.—Tho chief* of the
volunteers visited Captain General
Weyler at the palace yesterday and
expressed their tleslro that be should
remain at the bead of the government
in Cuba. Subsequently they cabled to
the cabinet at Madrid requesting that
the captain general be retained at the
bead of the Spanish forces foil tho
island, as we' as in control of It* civil
affairs.
Genera! Weyler, In acknowledging
their expres ion* of confidence, said
that the crl icism and attacks made
upon Ills mi tary conduct were with
out foundation. It bad always been
III* plan to Hnisli war with war, In ac
cordance with the customs of all Kuro
pcttii nations, and even of the United
States. General Sherman, lie de
clared, while on the march, destroyed
ail tlie resources of the South that lay
in Ills path, and tlw Washington gov
ernment finished the war with war,
r. m...* .a. .. A..A ..
In spite of Captain General Weylcr's
prohibition, a notable demonstration
took place here in his honor. The
bot'irsu was closed, as were also the
principal stores and tobacco anil other
manufactories. All tin; main streets
were gully decorated.
Tlie various processions united at
Central park ami then moved together
to the pla/.a in front of the captain
general's palace, where as many as
.'0,000 people were gathered. Several
hands discoursed patriotic music. The
pla/.a and tlie thoroughfares leading
into it were densely crowded.
A number of deputations went to
the puiuce, where they were received
by the captain general. According to
the official accounts, they assured him
that it was the desire of ull tlie loyal
inhabitants of tlie island that lie
should continue at the head of the
government and carry on the cam
paign against the insurgent*.
They also expressed "confidence
that tlie Madrid government was in
spired ssith altogether too high de
signs for tile welfare of the country
to withdraw the illustrious chief who
had subjugated the insurrection."
Q< upturn General Wcylcr, after
thanking the deputations for their as
surances. said lie had accepted the
command in difficult circumstances
amt without conditions The success
of tlie campaign couid be estimated
and properly appreciated by the coun
try from tlie visible facts,
Jn Hie course of seven months four
important provinces had been nearly
pascified. and lie was confident of
being able to pacify the two remain
ing provinces at tlie proper time with
the forty battalions ready for the
tusk lie said lie cxpcelcd to he able
to pacify I'norto Principe and Santiago
de t..'itba at an curly date, "for the
rebels there know and fear me, and
will not resist me."

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY
I The CliIrnRo JL Alton ll*l«l l |> »*' K»n
• mm City#
Kansas City, Mo., Oct 3.— The fast
| train on the Chicago &. Alton, which
left the I'nlou depot at S:.">0 last night,
was held up by a gang of eight
l masked robber* at the crossing just
| opposite Washington park, twenty
minutes later. The bandits got little
for their pains, for they failed m an
attempt to blow open the express safe,
anil secured only a few dollars from
the trainmen. The passenger* wero
not molested. The train was delayed
nearly two hours, and then proceeded
on its journey.
The train was stopped by torpedoes
placed on the track. As soon as it
came to a standstill the conductor
und brukcinen stepped off to see what
the trouble was, and were immedi
ately covered by gun*. One of the
robber* went through Conductor
(irove*, securing >22. The trainmen
were then compelled to uncouple the
express car, the engineer and fireman
called down from the cab, a shot be
ing fired at the engineer because
hu was alow In obeying, and
the robber* ran the engine and
express car about a quarter of a mile
up the track. Here the express mes
senger was Induced to open hi* car
door und an attempt was made to get
him to open the safe also. He In
formed tlie bandits that the safe was
a through one and that he had no keys
for It, whereupon he was sei/.*d by
the legs, pulled from the train, robbed
of hi* gun and S3) in money, and or
dered to go back to the rest of the
train.
't he robber* then placed twenty
four sticks of dynamite us top of the
safe and lighted the fuse, which
proved to be defective and failed to
ignite the dynamite, lie fore the fuse
could be repaired and relighted the
robbers hreamo frightened and lleil.
The passengers, especially the wo
men, were greatly frightened when It
became knowrl that the train was be
ing robbed, and there was a grand
scramble to find hiding places for
money and valuables. Watches were
thrust under seats, cash Into hats,
diamonds and jewelry into stockings,
and within two minutes after the train
was stopped there wasn't ®10 worth
of valuables In sight on the entire
trulu. There were two Chicago ,t
Alton detectives on the train, and the
passengers say that they were the
worst scared men in the lot, never
showing themselves outside their car
until the affair was over.
Willis E. Cray, general superintend
ent of the road, in his private car, was
ori the train when it was held up.
After the express messenger re
turned to the passenger coaches the
passenger* mads up a purse of t"S and
presented it to him.
An hour or so after the train was
hold up u freight came along from
Kansas City and pushed the left-be
hind coaches ahead to the engine and
j express car. The truin was then cou
| pled together and proceeded about
two hours late.
The hold-up occurred almost on the
main thoroughfare between Kansas
City and Independence. It was just
below Fifteenth street in a rather
sharp cut, in full view of passing
travelers, of whom there were scores
every hour last evening.
The engine was No i!17, the same
that was pulling the last two trains
that were held up in the famous Blue
cu’. _

Jones Is Not In It.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 9.—Kansas
City fireman behaved like heroes at
fires between 3:iiU and 0 o'clock this
morning, which burned the stables of
the Kansas City Trunsfer company,
339 West Fourth street, and the Kmery
building or. West Sjxtli street, llut
for their brnvery two men and two
women would have been burned to
death.
With two other firemen who were
fighting the flumes in the second story
of the transfer barn. Fireman Mike
Connors of Company No. 3 wont down
with a falling floor. He was only
slightly injured and, with the assist
ance of other firemen, he drugged out
the two firemen most severely hurt,
who would otherwise have been
burned to death.
Jn the face of flumes that licked the
tides of a hu tiding at Nixth und Del
aware streets, a few hours later, Con
nors and another fireman, John
Lynch, climbed four stories on a lad
der and carried two helpless women
to a place of safety. The lust instance
is probably the most remarkable and
thrilling escapu from death in the an
nuls of the Kansas City fire depart
ment.
The Kmery building, on West Sixth
street, near Delaware is four stories
high, anil at <5 o'clock tills morning it
was on fire. The building is old und
the flames spread rapidly. Twenty
five people use tin* upper floors us 1 iv
lug rooms, uiui us tho Maine* and
smoko crept through the building
men, women and children ran to win
dows and cried for help The lire
guined quickly. Tongues of flume*
shot from the windows.
There was an exclamation of hor
ror from tiie crowd below as two
women appeared ut Iho bay w iudow
ou tlia fourth story. Tiie smoke uud
tlumcs were behind them, and us they
stood there, screaming for help, the
lire had spread in the room beside
them. Haines six feet long shot out
of the windows. The women could
endure the lire uud smoke no longer.
In a minute the people ou the opposite
sidewalk witnessed a sight that made
their blood run cold.
Outside of the bay window was a
narrow ledge of stone only a foot
wide. There was a gasp from tho
crowd as tiie two women crawled
from the windows and stood upright
on the narrow ledge. The crowd and
firemen below called to them: "lie
careful; for Hod's sake, lie careful.'’
The firemen fcarcil Ills women would
fall, and they held tiie net to
catch them If they fell.
Just then Chief liale drove up in his
buggy. With him was Mike Connors,
his driver. The long ladder of tiie
four-horse truck from headquarters
was raised. Connor* and Hremau
John Lynch of No. t Hose company,
who once wa* a sailor, went up the
long ladder like circus performers.
While tliis was being done the women
stood still on the ledge. Connors took
one of them in his arms uud Lynch
the other. Down to tiie sidewalk they
went in safety. One of the women
was Mrs. (leorge Kelly, tiie other Miss
Maud Miller. I leorge Kelly, who was
in tiie room with the women, followed
down tiie ladder without assistance.
It wa* the onlv means of escape.

THE STOCK YARDS LAW.
•Initgc Xf linger In the Fetfril t’onf
llrinti » Temimrnrjf Injunction.
In the federal court at Lincoln Judge ,
Manger grunted the temporary In June- v
tion in the ease of the South liruaha $1
stock yards company against the statu
of Nebraska.
The stock yards company applied
for an injunction to prevent the state
officers from putting Into force the
law enacted by the last legislature,
regulating and fixing charges for \
handling live stock at the yards.
The order in the ease, after citing
the title, (freenleaf VV. Simpson against
the I'nion stock yards company at
South Omaha (limited), directs that the
temporary order be issued to lie in at
force until the hearing of the cause, if,
upon the tiling of a bond by the plain
tiff, the stock yards company in realty,
but the stockholder Simpson in form,
In the sum of $‘,'5,000. The order ulso
provides that proof be taken as in
dicated in the memorandum filed by
the judge and in which the ruling of
the court is given.
This memorandum is in this lan
guage:
First—The bill charges, and is sup
ported by affidavit, that the company
does business with the railroads and
not with the public generally. If this
is established by the proofs my present,
opinion is that the stock yards com
pany is a private concern, and for tliut
reason is not subject to regulation by
the state. This may be illustrated by*
the case of un inn-keeper whose ’**
charges may be fixed by the legisla
ture. Hut if the inn-keeper does not
hold himself out as furnishing enter
tainment to the public, but does so
only for a particular class, he is not a
public inn-keeper with whose business
the state can interfere. The ease of an
inn-keeper is one of those mentioned
in Minin's ease, for which reason I
mention it. I am not bound to follow
that ease, but the distinction is
. .
Second The bill shows that there
are several classes of business done at
these yards. First: There is stock
shipped from [mint* in the state to the
yards. This class of business is sub
ject to state regulation. (Second: There
is stoek shipped from outside the state
to the yards, and third: There is stock
shipped from points cither in or outside
the state to Chicago and other eastern
points, and which lies over in the
yards for rest and feed. These last,
two classes of business, if interstate,
cannot lie interfered vvitli by the state.
Third—The hilt charges that the
statutory rat*; docs not yield compen
sation for the services rendered by the
company. if this is shown in tlm
proofs the act is invalid.
Fourth itiir constitution provides
that property shall not he damaged as
well as shall not lie taken for public
use without compensation, if a street
iu front of a lot Is graded and t he con
sequence is that the rental of the prop
erty is decreased, it is a case for com
pensation. i am tumble to see any
difference between that ease and where
the legislature by Its direct act redu
ces the earning capacity of the prop
erty.
before rendering a final decree I
wish proofs to he takenon these points.
I wish to know whether the company *
holds itself out to the public as a pub
lie market, what part of Its business
originates in this state destined to the
yards, and wjiiit part oriiriimt.es in or
is destined out of tlie state, and what
is the value of the physical property,
and what is thy value of the stock to
the company. -
An injunction will «-.siie according
to the prayer of the bill, to remain in
force until the hearing, upon the plain
tiff giving a bond with sureties to be
approved by the clerk, in the penal
sum of tm.
'■srnsle l-’lle I Oil "
The officials of a number of counties
in the si ate. says a l.incoln correspond
cut of the Omaha bee. have written to
t he attorney general to find out whetli
er the new law which appears in the
new copy of t he session laws and which
is labeled ••senate tile Kill" is valid and
can be put into practice at the com
ing election: The attorney general
lias answered all these inquiries by
setting forth tile record on this partic
ular bill, but has rendered no decision
as to ns vainmy. i ne mu. as mini
due'd in tin* senate, was calculated to
ullow counties having u population of
s.(MH). ora voting population of l.Pou,
to elect clerks of 1 lie district court at
other times than the regular time for
electing such officials. The hill was
introduced for the special benefit of
Valley county, but if valid could be
taken advantage of by about ten coun
ties in the state this year. The record
shows that th*- hill passed the senate,
hut that oil the hist day of the session
it came to it vote in the house and tail
ed to pass, tile vote being forty-eight
in favor and nineteen against. In
spite of this failure to pass the bill,
however, was certified to the governor,
received bis signature and is printed
in tin* session laws.
