loup City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. 1/>TJP CITY, . - - NEBRASKA, Journalism of To-Dgy. The versatile Emperor of Germany Is the latest critic of modem journal ism. He deplores especially the lack of preparation on the part of those who engage in the business of melding public opinion. To obtain recognition In the ministry, the law, medicine, or even dentistry, years of application re sulting in tangible evidence of pro ficiency are'required. This, he thinks, 1s as it should be. but in journalism, he asserts, a lad of 20 may siflly forth, notebook in hand, make a collection of baseless rumors, and forthwith pro duce and publish articles which may set the world on fire. The Emperor is not the only one who cherishes this delusion respecting the method of making newspapers. Even in this en lightened country, many otherwise well-informed persons regard with a species of awe the smart young man seeking an interview. They behold in him one wlTo possesses mysterious power and authority. As a matter of fact, remarks the North American Re view, he is only a gleaner of wisps of .information, which in common with thousands of others find their way into the winnowing machine. The man behind, unseen by his majesty and fel low-critics is the editor. It is his intel ligence and judgment, hardened in the most severe school of mental develop ment known to civilization, that deter mine what shall or shall net be given to the public. No other profession re quires so perfect a combination of un doubted integrity, alert intellectuality and dispassionate menial balance; nor, In this country at any rate, does any other calling possess these qualities in so high a degree. Meanness of Theft. A man who has been rifling the mail boxes of at least one city has been caught. He was apprehended as he sought to cash a check he had found In his loot. The fellow deserves a long sentence, for in this peculiar form of crime there is a contemptible mean ness absent from some petty offenses. To steal a letter with money or a check within may be no worse than other forms of larceny, but there are concomitants that add to the gravity of tile act. The mail thief does not discriminate. With access to a bag or box, he takes whatever packets come to hand, and those that are worthless to him he casts away. The letter that never comes may lead to the tragedy of broken friendship. It may impair credit. In it there may be some mes sage of priceless import. Happiness and prosperity may have depended upon its safe delivery. About all these things the thief has not a care. Mis sives perhaps more precious than their weight in gold aro to him rubbish. In destroying them he may be doing a greater actual harm than in diverting negotiable property. Everybody is in terested in the safety of the mails—no less than others those who never in trust to them anything but written words. When a letter has been prop erly stamped and deposited, says the Philadelphia Ledger, the sender has a right to be secure in the belief that it will reach its designated place and not be rifled by a wretched thief. If such a thief is caught the necessity of making an example of him is obvious. Compared with him, the ordinary pick pocket seems almost a desirable ele ment of society. He is the lowest type of criminal vandal. The cost of being a loyal college graduate Is increasing every day, de clares the New York Evening Post. In addition to paying for "directories,” “booklets,” “catalogues,” “student pub lications" and various forms of “-iana” there are class dinners to be sub scribed for, class dormitories to be built, class professorships to be en dowed, • prizes, scholarships, fellow ships and library foundations to be established. There is also a moral as well as a financial drain upon the re sources of the alumnus. He has to re main faithful even though his college slays him. He must be ready to ap prove the policy and even the speeches of his college president. He must praise the curriculum. He must “root" at games and races, however languid his interest in them; must defend the I Ineffective stroke of the crew, errors on the diamond and on the gridiron and at last must send his sons to be educated where he was educated him self, even if in his judgment some other college would be better. Unless he does all these things with enthu siasm he is thought to be a churlish fellow without “college spirit.” A young Pittsburg man who already has $3,000,000 and is heir to half of $10,000,000 more, has been sent to a sanitarium a physical wreck, the re sult of overwork and strain in at tempting to amass more millions. What fraction of reason is there in an effort of that sort? In London society It is considered the proper thing to play jokes by pour ing water or something equally as wet down the back of a friend. Even New port has not reached this advanced stage of civilization.

LEADERS OF “SOCIETY” Men and Women Who Have Dominated the American Aristocracy of Blood and Wealth. MANY REQUISITES FOR THE POSITION Mrt.

New York.—The struggles of men ami women of America to win the title of society leader of this country, which in this connection is New York, has for years been as bitter and as earn est as any of the intrigues of the old French court. In the endeavor to be acknowledged by the so-called Four i Hundred as the local head of gay j functions, millions of dollars have ! been spent, plots and counter-plots hatched, and finally such sensational- ! ism resorted to as have made the j names of Ward McAllister and Harry | Lehr known. Each succeeding year : has seen some new candidate enter the field for the coveted honor, and each year has seen new exploits which [ have fairly taken the breath away I from the great mass of people who look on and laugh or wonder. For a good many years now, ever since the death of Mrs. Paran Stevens, in fact, Mrs. William Astor has un doubtedly been supreme. Lesser lights have shone for a few seasons, perhaps, but their brilliancy has been only that of the planets in the light of the moon. Mrs. Astor has been in j reality the balance wheel which has ' kept the social machine moving stead ily, if at high speed. Of all who have held her position, she has undoubtedly, been the sanest. Had Many Advantages. She came to the position with un limited wealth, with a stainless name ■ a coming-out ball, the like of which at that time had not been surpassed. Almost from the day of her mar riage she found herself obliged to fight vigorously for her title of social ieader. The first contest came with Mrs. William Waldorf Astor and re sulted in a feud which is history. Then came the scandal in connection with her eldest daughter’s husband, J. Coleman Drayton, resulting in a di vorce. Hut tlie Waldorf Astors sided with Mr. Drayton in the dispute, and so another contest was started, in which, as in the first, Mrs. William As tor was the victor. It was the bitter ness resulting from this that sent William Waldorf Astor to England, where he has remained ever since. She Has Been Democratic. In a way, Mrs. Astor has‘been most democratic. Her power has been ab solute, and in the course of her long career she has opened the doors of so ciety to many new families, and has closed them to many who for years had enjoyed such privileges as their right. "I am always willing," she once said, “to admit to my list and to my house people who, if they are not old New Yorkers, have now a right to position, and who are prssentable and agreeable members of society, but I must first be personally convinced that they pos sess these qualifications, and, at the same time, I must decline to drop any lVv $ Cm U5 DUfiflHS I or/fro Asm \ AS SOCIAL 0 Am I and ripe judgment. Gracious, big hearted, and of warm sj mpathies, she has won the respect o;! the social world over which she has ruled through storm and stress for almost half a century. Her life has been filled with brilliant successes. Before her marriage to the wealthy William Astor she was Miss Caroline Schermerborn, daughter of a Knicker ooeker family which ruled In the old lays. When Mrs. Astor made her lebut in New oYrk, her father gave one from my list ever entitled to be upon it, save only when they have dis honored their position. Loss of for tune is no disgrace, and owners of good names should not be asked to for feit the last, at least, for any such cause.” For a few years she was forced by family afflictions to retire from so ciety, but when she chose again to step forward, she assumed her old position. Of recent years her most famous function was the dinner to SCOTCH GUIDE A-SPYING. Natives Have Eyes That Can Rival the Telescope. Never shall I forget that humiliat ing experience—spying against men who had practiced it ever since they were breeched or kilted! I had car ried a first-class telescope upon a thousand hills in the west, and had never learned to use it, says a writer in Outing. The hill opposite is a huge “face,” with a westerly aspect. As the wind blows stiffly from the southwest, it is certain that the deer will be feed ing or lying in the sheltered spots, and to these, after he first prelim inary survey, our glasses are di receted. I see nothing, and unwisely say so. ■ "Yon's a shootable beast, Davie," replies £>onald. "Yiss,” says Davie, laconically. Tfeel that I am ignored as a duffer, and^ ask humbly that the shootable beast may be pointed out to me. A dialogue follows, which I might find it:, \ ... :l amusing if I were not playing the muff's part in it. “He’s laying down.” says the stalk er. “Below the knobbie to the left o’ the burn.” I count ten knobbies to the left of the burn—and say so. “Ye’ll be seeing a black hag, sir?” “Yes—half a dozen.” “Take the line o’ the white stone.” “Which white stone?” “The one near the black hag. Ye'll no mak’ oot, sir. We’ll be getting nearer.” “But I will make him out,” I object, and finally after tin exasperating ten minutes I see a vague something upon which I can put neither horns nor hair. And this, I have been assured, is a shootable beast. In a word, these men have seen a stag nearly a mile away which they can define to be over 14 stone (clean) and therefore worth stalking!

Prince Henry, when 79 guests besides the royal party were present. On that occasion everything was framed in a magnificence limited only by faultless good taste. It was the near est approach to the American salon to which the royal visitor could have been bidden. Now that Mrs. Astor Is reaching a period in life when it can hardly be expected that she can endure the nerve-wracking strain, the world of so ciety is beginning to speculate about who shall succeed her. Many of the old leaders are being recalled. From a review of their lives it would seem that, after all, the title depends more upon a strong personality than it does upon any inherited position. How Mrs. Stevens Ruled Society. Seldom is the force, the irresistible power, of a woman's will, more con vincingly exemplified than in the ca reer of the former notable society lead er. Mrs. Paran Stevens. Unaided by any of the agencies ordinarily thought I mwjii. iimmiij— jfjy—w-.iw ! .imij .i ^ PA A AN 6TJVt NsjO requisite in such a fight, she won the position that she selected for herself against the stubborn traditions of a society peculiarly insular in its senti ments and provincial prejudices. Born in Lowell, the daughter of Judge Heed, she was educated there and in Boston. It was while in a fin ishing school in Boston that she met Miss Stevens, the daughter of Paran Stevens, the famous hotel keeper. The latter was known as the Vanderbilt of the hotel business, owning hostel ries throughout the country. He fell in love with the pretty chum of his daughter, and finally succeeded in winning her hand. The first few years of their married life were passed in France, and it was not until after the birth of a son and daughter that Mrs. Stevens came to New York, to begin a social campaign unequaled in the history of America. It was partly through her efforts that the famous Ward McAllister was launched. This man was born in Sa vannah, Ga. He Was of the bluest American blood, but without money. From the day Ward McAllister mar ried Miss Gibbons, who was possessed of a comfortable fortune, he set about the task of entering New York so ciety. His first bow to the public was his announcement that there were only 400 people in fashionable society. His first social achievement was his meeting with the Prince of Wales in I860. Became Society Autocrat. Later Mr. McAllister took a house at Newport, and at once made himself a power there. From 1872 to 1885 he grew in power, and gained the title of which he was always proud, “the auto crat of the drawing room.” This dis tinction he bore without dispute until the Washington centennial celebra tion, when he quarreled with Mr. Fish about the arrangements for the ball and resigned from the entertainment committee. In order to demonstrate his su premacy, Mr. McAllister made ar rangements for a New Year’s ball, which he carried out with success. He championed Mrs. William Astor in her feud with Mrs. Waldorf Astor, and thereby won the friendship of that leader. Almost to the day of his death his word was final on all mat ters appertaining to good form and etiquette. His words of advice or crit icism carried weight, whether uttered SQUELCHED BY THE WAITER. Disturbing Young Man Found How Long a Steak Took. Everybody is more or less intimate ly acquainted witht the young man who disturbs the peace of a public place without making much noise. He enters with a careless and vigorous air of proprietorship that rarely fails to attract attention, and he conveys the impression that he rather expects all hands to make way for him and note his appearance on the scene. Usually he is the son of wealthy parents and he has considerably more assurance and self-confidence than mental ability. Such a young man strode breezily into the cafe of one of the largest of the downtown hotels the other night. Everybody glanced up at him; most of the employes made haste to ascer tain his pleasure and supply his wants. There was a scurry to pre sent menu cards and lay plates and saucers and cutlery and arrange pre liminaries for a feast. Presently the about the horse shows, in which he took great interest as a society func tion, or about a fashionable private re ception. His book, “Society As I Have Found It,” w-as a burning topic during the fall of 1890. It was he who originated the Patri archs’ balls, dances given at Delmoni co’s by 50 representatives of New York families, each of whom sub scribed $100. The honor of being al lowed to subscribe was eagerly sought after, w-liile an invitation was a pass port into the best New York society. Ward McAllister died in 1895, looked upon by many as a man wrho really served a useful purpose in life, and ridiculed by many others. At any rate he was a power and laws that he laid down are still in force. Harry Lehr Is Very Different. Of all recent men, the one who the most closely resembles this former leader is Harry Lehr, although he has neither the intellect nor the social standing of the former. He has been called the clown of society, and been laughed to scorn in the papers, but however that may be, he is evidently pleasing to society and occupies a unique position. Where McAllister made his reputa tion as a skilful organizer. Lehr has made his mark as a freak entertainer. By birth he is a German, the son of a German consul, who went to Balti more and died, leaving his son penni less. By occupation he is a cham pagne agent. His accomplishments are many; he sings well enough to amuse a small audience; he dances well; he leads cotillons successfully and he is a good story teller. He is always willing to make a fool of him self, if only it will raise a roar of , laughter. He chooses designs for and intelligently criticises women's gowns and he is a social diplomat. Mr. Lehr has done many eccentric things which have won him notoriety. It was he who introduced the monkey dinner and carried it to a triumphant conclusion. He was ringmaster at Mrs. Oelrich's circus, and introduced punching bags at the pavilions at Bailey’s beach, Newport. He was the first to take a parrot out automobiling, and the first to do a great many other unusual things. However, he was for some reason indorsed by Mrs. Astor and from that day has been a fixture. Who Shall Now Be Leader? And now who among the women will succeed to the position still occu pied by Mrs. Astor, should she wish to step out? Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt has many champions. She has one of the best houses in New York and knows how to do many things. She has talent and a grace that captivates. She has the art of manners, and, more over, has a good brain. She had the opportunity to learn the art of success scientifically from approved models. Year after year, as a girl, she visited the courts of Europe, and the friend ships she formed there will stand her in good stead. Mrs. Ogden Mills has been men tioned, but her feud with Mrs. Bel mont is still remembered, and this in itself would be a handicap. Then there are Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish and Mrs. John Jacob Astor. It would seem that whoever suc ceeds Mrs. Astor will do so more by the logic of events than because of any strong effort on her own part. young man, who, as developments proved, had almost as much time as money at his disposal, was heard to exclaim excitedly: “What? Twenty minutes for a large, rare steak?" “It always takes from 15 to 20 min utes for a steak, sir," said the waiter, who was evidently not in the best of ’’umor and who did not appear to care much about his job anyway. “Twenty minutes for a steak?” re peated the young man; “that’s ridicu lous.” And when the waiter said: “We’ve a small cold, breakfast steak I can get you right away; Number Four didn’t eat the whole of It and the cat wasn’t hungry this morning,” nobody in the room seemed to care, barring the young man.—Providence Tribune.

Simple Devices That Will Tend tc Keep the Hands in Good Condi tion—Directions for Some Appetizing Dishes. A housekeeper who has no maid was complaining or her inability to keep her hands in order because of dishwashing, from which, like thou sands of other women, she shronk as a most distasteful task. An older housekeeper, looking at the reddened fingers, with just a suspicion of grime round the nails, offered to buy an out fit for 20 cents that would be of great assistance in preventing the disfig urement. The list included a dish chain for rubbing black kettles or tak ing off food that had stuck in a sauce fan, a soap shaker to prevent hand ling the soap or accidentally getting too strong a suds, a dish mop, which would keep the hands out of the wa ter most of the time, and a handled sink scraper, with a stiff brush on one side and a scoop on the other, for cleaning the sink and taking up the scraps, a task which in itself does more than all else to make the dish washer hate her work. She added the injunction to use good soap, and rub all greasy dishes with a wad of news paper before putting them into the dishwater. Some women can never be convert ed to using such little helps because at first it seems more natural to take the hand, but after perseverence for a few days these little aids will be preferred. CANNED PEACH PUDDINGS — Sift two cups of flour with two level teaspoons of baking powder, one-half teaspoon of salt; add one tablespoon of melted butter, two beaten eggs, and milk to make a thin batter or nearly one cup. Beat all well, then add the beaten whites of two eggs. Put a spoonful of the batter into buttered cups, then half a canned peach and a spoonful more of the batter. Set in a steamer, cover and steam 20 minutes. Serve with vanilla sauce. VANILLA SAUCE.—Beat the white of one egg stiff, and three rounding tablespoonfuls of sugar, and beat, well, then the yolk and beat again, and lust three tablespoons of milk and half a teaspoon or more of vanilla. Beat hard until smooth, and it is ready to serve at once. SPICED BEEF.—Put three pounds of the round of beef into a kettle with water to cover; cook slowly until ten vler enough to pull apart easily. The broth should be reduced one-half. Tear the meat into shreds with a fork, but do not chop, stir in one level table spoonful of salt, one-half level tea spoonful each of pepper, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Put the whole into a mold and when cold slice for serving. PUMPKIN PIE—To two cups of stewed and sifted pumpkin, add two thirds cup of sugar, one-half level teaspoonful of salt, one level teaspoon of cinnamon, two well beaten eggs, and enough milk to make four cups in all the mixture. Line a plate with paste, making deep scalloped rim around the edge; fill and hake slowly one hour. OXIOXS WITH CREAM SAUCE.— Put the onions into boiling water and cook ten minutes, change the water and cook until tender. Serve with a sauce made with three cups of flour, one rounding tablespoon of butter, | one-hall' level teaspoon of salt, and cook for five minutes. WHITE LAYER CAKE. — Cream one and one-half cups of sugar with one-half cup of butter; add slowly three-quarters cup of milk, alternate ly with two cups of flour sifted with two level teaspoons of baking powder. Add the stiffly beaten whites of four eggs and bake in three layers. Spread a white icing between and over the cakes. Household Hints. The stains of long standing should be soaked in glycerin and then washed in cold water. A very strong solution of water and alum thrown on a burning object will speeding extinguish the flames. Gruel, when properly prepared, should be but little thicker than cream and should be absolutely free from lumps. When making ice cream pack news papers tightly around the top of the freezer to prevent the ice melting too rapidly. Take time to put the blacking pot out of the way In its accustomed place, for thereby will a probable smutting be avoided. Select a dozen or so of the smooth est and largest splints from the new broom and lay them away to use in testing cake wThen it is baking. A vjarnish for glass is made by dis solving pulverized gum tragacanth in the whites of eggs well beaten. Apply with a brush very carefully. Fruit and Nut Rolls. Sift together, three times, three cups of flour, six level teaspoonfuls of baking powder and half a teaspoonful of salt. Work in from one-third to one-half a cup of shortening. Then mix to a dough with milk. Turn onto a floured board, knead slightly, and then roll out into a square sheet about one-third of an inch thick. Brush over the sheet of dough with softened but ter, then sprinkle with sultana raisins or cleaned currants, and filberts cut into several pieces. Roll up the dough compactly and then cut the roll into pieces an inch long. Set these on end close together, in a buttered baking lish, and bake about 20 minutes. Steamed Apples. The following is a delicious way to prepare winter apples. Peel, quarter and core six or eight apples. Steam or boil until about half cooked. Take from the fire and let it cool. Make a sirup of two cups of sugar and half a cup of water. Drop the apples into the boiling sirup for a few minutes, or until they become clear. Let cool and serve with cream. Restoring Flowers. Good flowers, if not very faded and very dirty, may have some of their pristine freshness restored by steam ing and cutting the crumpled edges. - - Mwr ' ■ ■ ■ ——■*««icjawfcvnry/*** A tolS>oOOnl v« Tells a Story of Awful Suffering and Wonderful Relief.
