Starr , Syracuse. " Tor a day or two IKS ainifed the K'H'sts ' of the hoiiso with spoeiincii ! . of Jii.s skill us a rillcinan , using a parlor KIIH iiid making a number of marvellous shots. This attracted general attention to him and people began to inquire who he was. He.yond the fact that ho had n conploof trunks full of wlnmesand nitulo numerous trips to police liuadqiKirtei-.s , nothing of interest could be learned. He- coming satisfied that "Mr. Starr" was n deteetivi ! nud on a hunt after big game , the Km : man quietly look his trail and did a little investigating on account of Nebraska' * only untrammelled .journal. The lirst discovery was thai Starr was really John T. Norris , a celebrated do- tccltvo from Springlleltl , Ohio , and that bu wns working in the interest of L'rniik Al , Uookwalter , the noted politician and capitalist , The next discovery wis : that Norris was iu eloso communion will ) J , F. Lansing , the real estate man , and for some unknown reason whenever ho went to Lansing's ollieo he pretended to be nursing a dis abled riirht hand. Step by stop the trail was followed until the whole ease \\na worked up , when Norris was culled upon for a "show down. " Soi-ing thnttho Hii : ; man had the mutter down right , Norris gave the details as follows : Some years ago Bookwalter invested heavily in Lincoln real estate and iilared the property in the hands of Lansing as agent. Last September Lansing wrote to Hookwaltcr saying he had a juir- chaser for ono piece , block ! ) , in Ki-t : Lincolii , at ? ! 5K)0 , ( ) , one-half ci : Ii and the balance lo rim one year at 8 per cent lie advised the sale , anil Hookwaltcr author ised him to make it This transfer was made and Landing forwarded the cash payment less $100 commission. Tim iurchaor ) was Samuel . Defonbaugh. This trans action was followed by other oilers through Lansing for adjacent property , Ins aiu-ieo being in each instance to ac cept. Recently .Mr. Uookwalter became suspicions that there was something wronjjand employed Norris to come to Lincoln and look tlio ma tier over. Norris tays that his lir.st work here was to exam ine tlie records in the county dork's ) ollieo wnero ho found that Hookwaltcr's deed of block ! > to Defenbaiigh , consideration $11,000 , was filed on September Hi hist. Hight below it and entered on the same day is the ivcord of a deed from Jefenbangh to Landing of the same property , i-oii idi'rution § 1,000. Norris ne\t hunted out Ucfen- batigli and found that ho was Lau-ing's hired man , and utterly without the means to buy even a .small piece of block t ) , or any othur property , llo then went to Lansing in the role of an liouo-t , but ignorant old farmer whoso sons had in herited some property for which ho was peeking tin investment in Lincoln real estate , llo looked over _ Lansing's list , and block I ) seemed lo .suit him. Laiiiing assured him that it was cheap at $ ll,0 | ( > p , and Norris went out to look over it. This done ho made anolher trip to Landing's ollieo anil using his sore hand as ano\cusc got Mr. Lansing to make a pencil plat of tlio block , numbering the Jots , and mark ing what was said to be a fair valuation on each. This memorandum was thun signed by Lansing. Thursday night Norris got Lansing Into the private ollieo ol a certain bank in this city , and in the presence of the presi dent and cashier accused him of having swindled llookwalter by means of a fraudulent sale to Dofcnbaiigh , out of the diH'erenci ! between if,000 ! ) , the pvico ho ndvised Hookwalter to sell for , and $10,000 , the present value of the property. Lansing kicked like the proverbial "bay steer , " and claimed he had u right to deus us he had done , and the interview ended in a storm. Yesterday morning Norris began an notion iu equity , in the name ol llook- walUsr , to compel Lansingtoconvey back the title to block 0 , IJavmg done this , ho wired Mr. Hookwaltnr to come on , and hero the matter rests for the present. unuisTMAu rr.srmiiis. : Business was entirely suspended in Lincoln yesterday , and the day given up to an interchange of social courteMos and good ohcor. Even at the "pen , " where grim silence and Iron discipline have full pway the year around , there was a relax ation. Early in the morning Warden Nobcs mustered his prisoners in the chapel where , after addresses by Klik-r JIowc , Mr. Mullen and others , they were nllowcd to come to the front as the spirit moved and speak of the ouUidu world us thov remembered it Two pri.sonor.-i , ouo a Spaniard and tlio other a young Nebraskau in for stealingsixteen ; horses , worn specially happy in their re marks. The exorcises were followed by au hour's play in the { nil yard , after which the signal for din ner was given. The bill of faro gotten T up for the occasion included roast turkey , vegetables , apple pie , coll'eo and cigar.s. The rations were not limited , and omo of thu mou showed an amazing capacity for stowing away food. The dance of tlio I'it/gerald lioso com pany , al ways an important holiday event , was unusually brilliant this year. The attendance was largo and all hands , in cluding the two "ollims" from Omaha , enjoyed themselves hugely. A gold- headed cant ) , put up to bo voted lo the most popular attorney , was won by Charles Mitgoon. who got 100 votes. Cimt. Ililliiigsloy had ( tt , H. D. Stearns 15 and I ) . C , Courtney 10. II. C. Austin won the china set , voted to the nipiVMin- ( alive fireman , and .f. Newton and MUs llolwlg captured the silver cup as the best walt/iU'S. At thu hotels the day was honored by elaborate bills of fare , the Windsor and Commercial vioing in their ell'orts to please and satisfy their guest.s. Among tlio eluirehei.tliero was an un usual stir , The children of thot/'luNtian , Mount Ziou , Second Baptist , St. Mark's Lutheran and Kpi.scopaf churches wore handsomely entertained Thursday even ing. Yesterday the other congregations liiid Iholr exercises , and there were largo audiences at thu Convent of llio Holy Name of Jesus , St. rani's M. K. , Fir.st llaptist , Congregational.

A traveller in Unrniah in lOS'J , speaking of the king who reigned at the time , says : "Among llio rest ho hath fotirc white ele phants which are very felrango and rare , for there is none other king that has them bill ho. If any other king hath one ho will send unto hi iu for it , " and he con tinues that If ho docs not get the elephant "ho will make warro with him ( the pos sessor of the coveted elephant ) tor it , for ho had rather "o.so a great part of his kingdom than not to conquero him. " The tr.ivcller adds that each of the o ele phants "slandeth iu a house gilded with golde , and they don fecdo in vessels of silver and gilt. " I'ather S.ingermano , two hundred years later , says that the liincr.il of a fein.do white elephant was conducted with the same forms and riles as tlio.so practised at the death of a queen. The body was burned on a pile ot aromatic matic woods , and three days after ils ashes were gathered by the chief man darins , ciislirmcd in gilt urns and buried in the royal cemetery. A .superb mauso leum was subsequently raised over llio tomb. "Kveu to this day , " says Mr. Frank Vincent. Jr. , u recent traveller in I5ur- mah , "tho 'celestial' white elephants arc still the objects of greal veneration , royal favor and attention. Aside from their diviuo character of being transmi grating Hiiddhas , their poesion , ac cording to Burmese supor.-tilioti , is con- bidorcdlo bring prosperity to llm coun try in peace and good fortune in war , and therefore Ihoir death is considered nothing loss than a national calamity.

Hy and by fashion , wealth and ostentation began to a snmu their Mipremaey , until there n seareely a ghost lull of the early simplicity of this good old custom. There was u time when the cost of a " 'pread" given by oiid family amounted to hundreds of dollars. All this sort of feasting may now be considered out of fashion. The refreshments now provided are generally quite plain. Tea , coll'eo and lemonade are more strictly on regie than wines. This change1 will be hailed with delight by the advocates of the tern- ' iier.iuce eatiM1' .
