VIENNA'S GAY NIGHTS OVER.
Cafe Crowds Go Home Early and
Glasses Do Not Tinkle.
Vienna , March 14. "Gay Vienna" of
tinkling glasses , beautiful women and
'Merry Widow" fume , Is rapidly dis
appearing. Only here and there Is
still a trace of the llfu that has made
: ho city world famous. "Gny Vienna"
ins become a misnomer. Its gayety
s dead when compared to that of
rJorlln and Paris and only the beauti
ful operottes and sensuous dreamy
music of FrairLehar Is keeping this
fame alive. The streets at night , for
merly presenting n lively animated
picture of cosmopolitan life , are al
most deserted by 10 o'clock In sharp
contrast with those of Ilerlin.
To one who has not been In Vienna
Tor some years , the change Is surpris
ing. There still aiu the beautiful cafes
where people enjoy themselves as
only the Viennese can , but there is a
lack of the former zest , bubbling vi
vacity spontancousncss and enthus
iasm. Pleasure Is at a low ebb when
compared with years gone by. The
cafe frequenters and the Viennese are
still fond of spending the evenings In
the cafes , depart early and few of
them keep open all night.
Personally it may be attributed In
part to the fact that Gayety In Vienna
is not staged for the particular benefit
of the tourists , ns Is the case In some
of the other continental cities. Al
though one of the most Interesting of
European cities , It Is a little off the
beaten tourist path.
Two reasons are given by the Vien
nese for the dying out of "Gay Vien
na. " First , the fact that there has
been no court life to'speak of since
the death of Empress Elizabeth by as
sassination In 1807 , and second , that
Vienna has not been touched by the
whirlpool of sudden wealth and pros
perity that hit Berlin several years
ago. In a capital , brilliant court life
has much to do with prosperity and
social life and activity. Franz Joseph
is n lonely old man.
Ferdinand , heir to the crown , Is not
very fond of society and functions. He
married beneath his rank and consequently
quently his wife is not regarded ns
his equal. They have lived quietly.
She cannot bo and has not attempted
to be , first lady of the land. There
has been little need of new gowns
and Jewels for court functions. This
has had a dampening effect upon the
various grades and degrees of social
order.
"The Berllnese have lost their heads
as a result of their tremendous pros
perity in the last few years , " the
Viennese say. "We keep on in our
own more quiet and more natural
way. "
Budapest , the capital of Hungary
has had n remarkable growth In the
last few years and Branch of Vienna's
former gayety has'transformed itsell
to Budapest. Building operations in
Vienna have virtually been at a stand
still for some tlmo and ns a consequence
quenco rents are tremendous and the
need of dwelling in this city of twc
million has become so urgent that the
city authorities are taking measures
to help erect buildings for the poorer
classes. This , together with the general >
oral rise In the cost of living , keenly
,
felt In this country of low wages , and
a "dead court life , " has been the wet t
blanket that Is extinguishing the
.
gayety of Vienna. For , after all , It
takes money to pay the fiddler.
Vienna Is still , and long will re
main , the city of magnificent theat
ers ; of wonderful acting and of
sweet , dreamy musical productions ,
It Is an advance post near the occi
dental-oriental frontier the capital of f
twenty-six nationalities with a very
Interesting and charming cosmopoli
tan life. It still has Its quarters
where life is by no means dull. But t
Vienna's fame rests upon Its gayety
in the higher circles of society and 1
the Viennese have the hope that when
Ferdinand mounts the throne , the
merry days will return.

Norfolk's oldest resident Is cele
brating his 100th birthday anniver
sary today. This centenarian Is Lovl
D. Smith , living with his son H. C.
Smith at 1210 Omaha avenue. Mr.
Smith reads The News dally and up
to a few days ago ho has been ablu
to read the fine print in the paper
without the aid of glasses. Notwith
standing the fact that his son is In
the midst of moving to a farm south
of town , Mr. Smith is as Jovial as
ever and declares the troubles of
house moving do not bother him.
One hundred years ago today Lovl
D. Smith was born in a Now Jersey
town. When ho came west ho accu
mulated sufficient capital to start
business and later in years he be
came n nromincnt grocer in Kansas
City and St. Joseph , Mo. Ills wife

business life Mr. Smith farmed for
about fifteen years and seven years
ago he left St. Joseph and went to
Elk Point. S. D. , where he Joined his
son. Later he moved to Norfolk with
his son and is spending his days tell
ing his son and grandchildren what
ho heard Abraham Lincoln say once
upon a time.
Heard Abe Lincoln Speak.
Mr. Smith recollects well attend
ing the entertainments at which Ab
raham Lincoln was a speaker. He
heard Lincoln talk quite often. He
recollects the days of his first thirty
years of life much better than he
does the years after 80.
Mr. Smith is a Jolly centenarian.
He Is n trifle hard of hearing but
his Jovial disposition makes happy
all those about him. He is short in
stature and has a grey beard. He
often Jokingly remarks that he still
has n few hairs remaining on his
head. Mr. Smith is well read and
rarely misses reading his daily paper
"Father remembers more about him
self during the time when he was a
boy than he does about occurrences
thirty years ago , " says his son , H. C
Smith , a local dairyman. Mr. Smith
has remarkably strong eyes. About
fifty years ago he could not see with
out the aid of glasses. About fifty
one years ago he discarded the glass
j es and up to o week ago he could reai
without the aid of any optical assist
ance. He purchased a pair of spec
tacles a few days ago and finds that
he can see much better with their
assistance.

age. Mr. Brennar was highly re
spected by all who knew him for he
was the soul of honor and honesty.

sons , Will and Gus and a daughter ,
Mrs. N. P. Nelson.
At a recent meeting of the Com
mercial club It was suggested that
ways and means should be found for
increasing the valuation of real es
tate. The suggestion was made by
one of the members that It would
also be a good idea to publish the
personal tax list of the township but
this suggestion was voted down , and
voted down so hard , that it will hard
ly ever be insurrected , for It Is a well
known fact that there are more tax
shirkers in Verdlgre township than
In any other township In Knox coun
ty , if not In the state of Nebraska.
The real estate shows for Itself best.
Mr. Johnson , the perjuries commit
tee , in the presence of the assessor ,
Is something appalling. We take the
stand that a man who will swear
falsely to the assessor , would do the
same in a court or justice and his
jvldence should not be accepted. We
lope that the Commercial club will
not be one sided in this matter but
that they will go to the bottom of
: his shirking , and make the rich dig
ip as well as the poor.
It Is being agitated that another
55,000 bonds he floated for the pur-
lose of extending the water mains.
This is a splendid idea , and one
which should have the first call on
he "Up And Do Its. "
Verdigre has organized a fire com
pany and it Is safe to say that no bet-
.er material could be found In the
state. We have a brand new hose
cart and 500 feet of a No. 1 hose.
We will be looking for hose cart races
next summer and then ; well , Just
watch our smoke. The officers of
: he fire department are : J. J.
Schmidt , chief ; Frank Drassal , ass't.
