In this town near ly all the mon who ride on street cars arc dolling their hats and giving up tholr seats to colored women , whllu many of them are seeking to shoulder - or the colored woman's burden , A couple of days ago an aged colored woman , carrying a largo basket of laundry , boarded a crowded east bound Dodge street car. Every seat was occupied and no one made a move to got up as the old "mammy" clung to R car strap and swayed back and forth. Finally , with the air of u Chesterfield , P.rnnklln Trumbull , a bank clerk , arose and graciously bow- oil the old colored woman Into his Hout. Several of the acquaintances of Trumbull on the car laughed and jeered him , but bo paid no attention. When the car slopped to lot the col ored woman off It happened to bo at the Intersection where ho worked , and that night ho hud to bo at the bank to post some books. Ho bellied the woman off with her basket and then carrlod It along the strout for four blocks. As ho turned the burden over to the woman she asked his name and address.

Campbell Tells What Other States are Doinq. Lincoln , July 15. That Canada la securing our fanners at a cost of $4.28 oer capita and being enriched at the rate of $1,000 for every man , woman and child going Into the new country , while Nebraskans sit Idly by and per mit other states to stop the Immigra tion from their farms as well as se cure thousands of new settlers , was the principal thought In an address to the Lincoln Ad club by Will A. Camp bell of Omaha. Mr. Campbell Is man ager of the publicity bureau of the Commercial club and chairman of the legislative committee of the state as sociation of Commercial clubs. He spoke on "Advertising the State and Incidentally Your City. " 1 "The fact that there were 150 farm ers from the states with assets ol $200.000 passing through St. Paul in three days , bound for Canada , may not be a serious consideration , but when we get closer to home and know that -one man In the city of Omaha sells twenty-eight sections of Canada land to Nebraska farmers in ninety days and sends fifty-one families Into Brit Ish territory , wo can see why the de posits In Canadian banks Increased $8,000,000 during the month of March "When the bankers of Missouri pul up $25,000 for systematic Iraralgratlor work ; when Kansas spends $25,00 ( per annum ; when Wyoming has $11 , 000 , and Minnesota wants $100,00 ( next year , after spending $20,000 lasi year , and getting 19,000 settlers , No 'braska business men may well usk 'Why don't the legislature wake up ? ' "Every town and city In Nebraskt Is being blighted by the fact that th < state does not take a good Inventor : of Its resources and advertise them U the world. " LATTA FILES AS POPULIST. Goes to Lincoln to Confer With Al " Allied Parties. Lincoln , July 16. James P. Latti of Tekamnh , who recently filed as i candidate for congress on the dome cratlc ticket , came to Lincoln am filed a petition to have hs name placoi on the populist ticket. "If the democratic state conventlo were to be held this week , " sold th congressman , "I feel sure that I would not adopt a platform favorab to county option , but I do not know what will happen by the 26th of July , or whether sentiment wll bo ehangod by that time. Mr. Bryan's speech to the democrats of Lancaster county will not affect the politics of Hurt | county at all , for the reason wo have no saloons In that county and there Is no liquor light. Mr. Hitchcock tolls mo thai the rank and file of the party Is opposed to county option. I w.ia talking to him yesterday. Ho tele phoned mo In regard to gelling oul n candidate to file for the state senate. " VWhal are your constituents saying about your vote against the postal savings hank ? " was asked Mr. Latla.

Lincoln , July 10. The state railway : > minisslon may go to a show-down lib the Inlorstalo commerce coinmis- Ion for ordering a change In local rolght rates in Nebraska. The state ommisslon believes It has entire Jur- sdicllon over Nebraska rates and that i stepping over the line and Inter ring with these rates it believes the ational body has overstepped Its an- lorlty. Some time ago a cement ompany of Wyoming filed a protest 1th the inter-stale commission gainst Hie Norlhweslern alleging hal Its rates wore too high In this tale. The company shipped Us out- ut to Norfolk over the Union Pa- Hie and then from Norfolk the stuff vas senl over the Northwestern. Af- er taking evidence in the case the 'ommisslon ' ordered the Northwestern o reduce its rates on cement and laster to numerous nelghooring owns. Commissioner Harlan resent- id from the opinion of the majority of lie commission on Hie ground lhat t had no aulhorlly lo Inlerfere with trlctly local rates. In accordance vlth the order of the national body he railroad filed Its revised schedule vlth the state commission which tin ier the stale commission law is llle- al because permission was not first received from the local commission. Interurban Prospects. Prospects for the Norfolk-Newman Jrovo Interurban railway are looking i-ery good , according to W. R. Martin ivho reports his campaign among the 'armors ' , securing subscriptions for the enterprise , has been a success. A arge mooting of people interested In : he proposition will be held at Klos or , on Wednesday , July 20. Kloster [ Hlizens , says Mr. Marlin , are very uixious lo have the road built through their territory and have made it now known that enough subscriptions would be had to pay for the railroad to run through that vicinity. A delega tion of the Norfolk Commercial club i , vill attend the Kloster meeting. Should the present hose wagon of the fire department be turned In for a combination chemical and hose wagon , Norfolk would have complete fire pro- lecllon In every part of the city. This was the general belief of members of the joint hose companies who met at the city hall at the last joint meeting of the season. The wagon now Is use Is too heavy , they say , and In case of a fire In outside dlstrlcls II Is of no benefll owing lo Iho fact , , that It car ried nothing but hose and only a few small tanks of chemicals. In such cases the hook and ladder company must make the run and do what is In Its power. If a comblnallon wagon would be provided , the firemen declare many buildings In outside dlstrlcls could be saved. Such a wagon Ihey declare carries Iwo ladders , large chemical tanks , and sufficient hose , No more Joint hose company meetings will bo held until next October.

To Shake or Not to Shake , the Ques t tlon That is Puzzling Paris. t London Lady's Pictorial : In Parli they have been seriously dlscussini the advisability of forming an anil handshaking soclely. Us members so it is suggested would only bi pledged to avoid this form of saluta . lion during Iho summer monlhs. Bu U when once It Is storied It Is believed and sincerely hoped , that the practlci -a of grasping nil and sundry by the ham will be permanently discouraged. There Is a good deal to be said 01 both sides. To have a hot and mola lg hand clasp one's own on a day whe : one is already suffering all that seem possible from the hat is distinctly to ing , to say the least Furthermon there are many people whoso hanc 10 shako leaves one with a feeling o 10 having touched a flsh or somethin 10 creepy-crawly. One looks forward t e | their clasp , if it can BO be describee a with a positive sense of horror , an It Is almost with dllllculty that one refrains from covertly wiping the hand after the operation. It would bo a great relief to bo able to avow oneself a member of the sug gested society , and to adopt the va luta , which It Is proposed should taku the form of a graceful wave of the hand In the direction of the person Introduced or addressed. But there Is this other view of the matter to take Into consideration , that wo should also lose a great deal If we never ex perienced the magnetism that can un doubtedly bo felt when one grasps the hands of certain folk. What Is to be wished Is that we need never sa lute in this fashion unless we so de sire. Hear Telegraph Arguments. St. Louis , July 10.

Members of society who elect to stay on this side of the Atlantic tills season have a new sensation to while away the tedious hours at Newport , Bar Harbor and Narragansett Pier. The sensation Is countess Thamara do Swlrsky , the Russian dancer , who made sucli a hit last year at the Metropolitan opera house , where she appeared In Oriental , Greek and Russian dances. Arturo Toscaulnl describes her as having the "most musical body" he ever beheld. Her beauty of form and grace of motion have earned her many engage ments , and from now till the regular theatrical season opens she will ap pear privately In the exclusive social circles of the Four Hundred. She re cently returned from Paris , where she danced for Baron Rothschild and mem bers of the French nobility. Artists assert that Countess Swir- sky has one of the most marvelous figures in the world. One statuette representing her as an Oriental dancer made by Prince Troubetsky , has boon purchased by the Chicago Museum of Art. Another won a prize at the ex position in Rome. The countess , who is 23 years of age , began dancing only two years ago. She was then studying the piano In Munich and had won the first gold medal In the conservatory , where she was a pupil , over 1110 competitors all of whom were men. Her mother , widow of Count de Swirsky , and her stepfather , Professor PodersIsUy , n noted Russian scientist , objected to the youthful Countess Thamara taking up dancing , but were finally won over. ENGLISH AND AMERICAN GIRLS. London , July 16. Compared with American girls , English girls excel In "natural possibilities , " such as com plexion , hair and general health. How ever , the American society girls un derstand the art of dress far better than do their English sisters ; besides , they exert themselves' to the utmost to bo brilliant and hence delightful companions. The English girls live nore alone and consequently are dull er. "On the other hand , the Amerlcar girls are much more local In theli knowledge and Interests. The range of thought of the English girls em jraces the world. Many of their mer folk are addicted to wandering , whlcl often develops Into the power of colon zing. This broadens the minds of th < girls and their charities extend fron Lebanon to London. They study the sport from polo lu India to cricket li Australia. "There are two keynotes tc an Eng llsh girl's life politics and sport- In which she Indulges with that clai ness and vigor which are possible enl with a healthy body and mind , am perhaps with the accompaniment o rustic dullness. The American girl 1 pampered , whereas In England th boy comes first. "Before marriage English girls so little of men ; American girls mucl Afler marriage Ihe situation is versed. English husbands and wive live a common life ; American hm bands and wives have their absort ing individual Interesls. The men ar absorbed in business , whereof Ihe 10 tell their wives little or nothing. Th women are absorbed In their own li tellectual pursuits and pleasures. Horse Throws Cowboy.
