VAMNTIXK : , Neb. , March 29. ( Special. ]
The romiiilttco consisting of C. II. Cornell
and K. Sjmrks , soul to Washington bomo
tlmo ago towork for the retention of the
United States land office nt this place , are
back , and bring very gratifying news , hav
ing received every assurance from our sen
ators and congressmen the office would re
main heio. It Is believed Senator Van
Wyck's bill to divide Ihls land district on
the west line of Cherry county will meet with
general approval , With a new land ofuco nt
C'hailron , nml with Dawcs , Sheridan and
Bloux counties In the now district , It will
make a very Imndsomo one. The old district
'will contain Cherry , Brown nnd Kcyn 1'ixjift
counties , Valentino being decidedly tlio most
convenient point In the district , being n llttlo
north of tlio center , and besides Its railroad
facilities all the streams are spanned with
peed bridges , thus rendering the passage to
the land office easy and convenient
The town Is looking forward to n greater
lioom next Hummer than ever before. A
largo number of. emigrants are arriving
dally , and with a gratified pridn tunny of
them are stopping In our county Instead of
passing on to the "great unknown beyond. "
Our citizens arc talking , and hope soon to
take active steps , to complete a system of
sidewalks throughout the town. Very car-
nest efforts to si-euro water works for the
town ha\o been made this winter , until It
now stands forth an assured success In the
near future.
Since the adjournment of the grand jury
lost Saturday the town has putonagra\o
and mysterious air. Whispers "vngiio aud
awful" are passing everywhere. Crimes
committed and seemingly forgotten long ago
have again come to the light of day , and tlio
nninc.s of more than ono prominent citizen
hnvebccn uttwwl in connection with the In
dictments found. Dame minor 1ms It , and
In thfs instance cicdllably , too , that six In
dictments for murner in the firbt degree have
been found , aud a long list of assaults , etc. ,
to follow. If some iMjoplo had more regaid
lor the sanctity of their oatli , and the sacredness -
ness of the jury room , there would not be &o
much talk about Indictments.
Tlio Oakland Tragedy.
OAKLAND , Neb. , .March SO. | SpccinI. ]
There seems to bo some misunderstanding In
relation to the article fiom hero in your 1s-
, sue of yesteiday. A sister of Anderson's Is
.said to bu hero , but no brothers. The parties
intcicsted are former associates , ami it is
claimed belong to a large gang of cow "boys or
bandits , and are on the alert to find out who
wcro active iu Anderson's dcstuictlon and
Tvho will revenge the bcene of the memorable
Sunday night at any hazard. Itumorliaslt
that no less than a dozen of the same gang
are now In tills vIcinityLyous nnd Danciott ,
"spotting" those who wcie hottest in the
chase after Anderson. The story that
Johnson's brother mod the barn Is a fabrica
tion , as ho had a fine team of mules In the
barn , and was btatlonecl at the time , with
two others , behind nnout house guaidlng the
Btablo door , from which it was expected that
the refugee "would " attempt to escape. They
were about co-rcct , as a siddled hoi so was
found dead near the door after the conffagia-
tlpn. The excitement has somewhat snb-
sl'dcd , but will boa matter of comment for
the season. JKvcrctt Is no better , and will
probably never iccover his usual health nnd
robustness , and If the county should donate
or pay Johnson for tlio loss of ! his bai n and
contents , E\crctt would come in for and bo
entitled to compensation. Public opinion is
lastly diversified on the question , no two
persons thinking exactly the same.

A Cotvbdy Imitator.
John Kclloy is a raw-boned youth from
ndinna who but last week reached the
rowdy west where the cowboy roams and
uns the town. He concluded to settle in
Council Hinds , but before taking up a
icrmaucnt situation ho visited Omaha
r-rstorday for a little recreation. To bo-
jin with ho imbibed the regulation quan-
, ity of "inspiration , " nnd then started
out. On Borne of the side streets ho dis
covered an untamed steed roaming about ,
destitute of bridle and halter , and suc
ceeded in olVecting his capturo. lie
mounted the animal , and then began a
wild ride through the streets. The last
pen of man and horse in conjunction
hey wcro flying up Sixteenth street while
.ho former was letting out loud whoops
and the latter was striking out at a Ihjhtn-
ling like gait.
Late in thp afternoon , however , Officers
Dempsoyand Carroll wcro summoned in
! msto to thn First Congregational Taber
nacle by the affrighted janitor , who said
that a wild man had captured the house
of worship. There they found Kclloy ,
monarch of all ho surveyed , having
driven out three men who wcro in the
church when ho arrived. When the
oiliccrs ordered him to surrender he
quickly gave in , saying ho was only hav
ing a little fun nnd meant no harm. Ho
was taken * to the central police station
nnd submitted meekly to being looked
up , while the oflicers preferred a charge
against him of drunk and disorderly.
and llollbcd.
A highway robbery was reported to
liavo occurred about 9 o'clock last even
ing near the government corral , the vic
tim being Frank J. Crawford. The po
lice -were informed of the aflair Into at
night by Crawlord , who said that a man
named Hcnchlcy had committed the
deed. He had met the latter , ho said.
larly in the evening in the city and had
loaned him $1.50. Ho then started for
: iis homo in South Omaha , and when near
Lho government corral Henchlcy , who
liad followed him , struck him with a
jriek bat and then robbed him of $4 or $5
which ho had in his pockets. Hcnchley
Jien made his pscapo , and Crawford re-
Lurned to the city and reported tlio aflair.
The men had been acquainted with each
other for two years. The police failed to
find Hcnchley labt night and he is still at
large.
Tlio Alc.xicaii Orchestra.
Another delighted audience listened
enraptured to the music of the Mexican
Typical Orchestra last night at the Boyd.
Again a magnificent and varied pro-
ramme was presented , each number
being a gem and rendered in an ar
tistic and pleasing manner. Encore fol
lowed encore throughout the evening. As
on Sunday night bta. Linda Brambilla
demonstrated that she occupies the front
rank among the noted vocalists
of the world , anil her marvelous voice
thrilled her listeners. The visit of the
Mexican Typical Orchestra has afforded
the Omaha public a rich treat which
will long bo held in remembrance , and
should tlio organization again visit this
sity it will undoubtedly be greeted by
large and appreciative audiences.
Volunteer Firemen to Organize.
A move is being made by the members
of the old volunteer fire department of
the city to form au association ot' all the
men in Omaha who in days gone by "ran
with the machine , " An informal meet
ing has already been held and all pres
ent were heartily in favor of the plan ,
and it was agreed to issue a call for a for
mal meeting to effect the organisation.
The ranks of the "old boys" are fast thin
ning out , but there are about forty men
tried and trno who in- the volunteer ser
vice risked life and limb and battled witli
the elements to preserve Omaha prop
erty. _

BEARDLESS CUB COMMENT ,
The Verdict of the State Press Jury on
the Trial of John "W , Lauer ,
Ilia Innocence and Unlit Clcnr to tlio
Mliuls of tlio Bditors Points
on Public Opinion.
ON anxnitAt.
O'Neill Tnbnno : The verdict of man
slaughter in tlio Laucr case is explained
only on the tltoory that the jury tried tlio
case over again and caiuo to the conclu
sion that he ought to go over the road on
general principles.
IN TIIK riKST DEailEE.
Papilllon Times ! The verdict of man
slaughter hi the famous Lauor trial at
Omaha , was hardly hi accord with the
views of Sarpy county people generally.
Murder in tlio first degree would have
been more satisfactory.
O. WHAT A ViU.VTN I AM.
Crcto Globe : Judge Thurston abused
the reporters in his speech in the Lauor
case most shamefully. His tirade wad
wholly uncalled for , and ho will find be
fore ho gets through it that ho has a big
ger job on his hands than defending
Laucr that of defending Tliuraton. Ho
will be led to see himself as others BOO
him and bo ready to exclaim , "Oh , what
a villain I ami"
EITIIKK OUn.TY OK INNOCENT.
Kimball Observer : A great deal of in
terest was manifested hero in the col-
cbrntcd Lauer case that was tried in
Omaha last week. The result "man
slaughter" was hardly to bo expected
from the evidence. Either Laucr was
guilty of a brutal nmrdor or the killing
of his wife was accidental. Such , how
ever , is a part our jury system plays upon
the judicial stago.
UNJUSTLY CONDEMNED.
Brown County Bugle : Tlio jury in the
noted Laucr case , which has been in
progress for nearly two week' , rendered
a verdict of manslaughter on last Satur
day morning. The case will not rest
hero , but au anneal for a now trial will
bo made by defendant , ho thinking the
sentence severe and unjust. A person
following the trial through without prej
udice cannot but believe the prisoner un
justly condemned and innocent of any
intention to shoot down his wife in cold
blood. .
AN UNSOLVED rilOULKM.
Weeping Water Eagle : The Laucr
trial at Omaha has ended ; the jury
bringing in a verdict of manslaughter.
Uow a jury could bring in a verdict of
that kind , is one of the unsolved problems
of the day. If a man don't know hjs
wife from a burglar in u room where is
a bright hard coal flre is burning , ho
ought not to have one ; but to murder her
in cold blood in that light : and have the
jury call it manslaughter , is too strong a
pill for the peoule to swallow.
CONDEMN IN ADVANCE.
Plainviuw Gazette : The jury in 'the
L-iuer murder trial found the defendant
guilty of manslaughter. We road tlio
evidence carefully , and feel satisfied
that had it not been for Lauer's unkindness -
ness towards his wife before the shooting
the ycrdict would have been not guilty.
The fact that they found him guilty of
manslaughter only , shows that the jury
had grave doubts whether ho was guilty
or innocent.
HE SHOULD BE THANKFUL.
Crcto Globe : John Lauer has been
convicted of manslaughter , in Omaha.
He shot iiis wife dead last fall ono.niirht
in his bed room , and claimed ho mistook
her for a burglar. Laucr and his wife
had not lived happily together , and tlio
majority of the people best acquainted
with the facts in the case believed ho
murdered his wife iu colri blood. His
trial was the most celebrated criminal
trial over held in the slate. It lasted forever
over aweek and the court room was
thronged with people during the whole
trial. Judco Savage nnd John M. Tliurs-
ton defended and Lee Estcllo and J. C.
Cowiu prosecuted the case. Cowin made
an eloquent and able anrumcnt for the
state and Thurston made an eloquent
pica in behalf of his client. Laner may
congratulate himself that the verdict of
the jury was not murder in the lirst de
gree.
HAD BETTER BE SATISFIED.
Dawson County Herald : The trial of
John W. Laucr , of Omaha , for the mur
der of his wife , last fall , occupied the at
tention of the district court there for two
weeks past , and closed by a verdict of
manslaughter on Saturday last. A great
many iu this city , in fact , we presume nil
over the state , kept constantly informed
of the progress of the trial. Tlio evidence
being published in full gave all as good
an opportunity for judging "of the guilt
or innocence of the accused as the jury
had. and almost without an exception the
yerdict hero is that Lanur was "guilty of
murder in the'tirst degree. | Ho had but tor
bo satisfied with the verdict and not try
to fool with it or ho may stand an excel
lent chance of stretching hemp.
THUltbTON'S 'rKimirUJ.Nr.S9.
Sutton Kegibter : During the trial of
the Lauer ease John M. Thurston indig
nantly declared that he had never accept
ed a fee to prosecute a man for hits life.
This remark , besides being historically
untrue , carried an implication tliat ought
not to bo a matter of boasting. In the
celebrated Olive trial , Thurston was Ono
of the counsel for the prosecution and the
state paid him a fee of $500 which , as
lawyers fees go , ho well earned. As to
the implication , it would Boom that Mr.
Thurston , for that occasion at least , as-
biimcd that it is inoro honorable to gland
between justice and the criminal , for a
feu , than to vindicate the law and protect
society by the conviction and punishment
of tlio otlender. The ethics of tlio legal
profession find no counterpart in any
other profession or calling.
THE Sl'EECHKS AND THE VEUDICT.
Crete Vidotto : This celebrated case
was terminated at Omaha on Saturday
last by a vordiot of the jury finding
Lauer , guilt Y of manslaughter . Messrs.
Ebtellu and Cowin wore the attorneys for
the state and Judges Thurston and
Savage for the defense. No stone- was
left unturned by either tlio prosecution
or the defense. The prisoner liad a fair
trial and Able counsel. In lytso u new
trial is not granted liia sentence will bo
pronounced by Judge Nqvilui , which will
bo penitentiary for not loss than one year
untl not more than ten years.
Tlio tirade of the Omaha Republican
upon the crilloiams of Judge Thnrgtou
in regard to the reporters of the press ,
seems to us to have boon entirely gratui
tous nnd uncalled for. A lawyer , in de
fense of a human life , has licence to say
u great many things which oujjht not to
oftund the most fastidious , Mr. Cowin
said many things which wore doubtless
uuploasaut to the prisoner's car , but we
have failed to see on that account any
sudden onslaught of the Omaha press
upon the speech of General Cowin , If
the prisoner was innocent the strictures
would not hurt him , if guilty he deserved
all that was said. The same might bo
said with much more force concerning
the "beardless cubs. "
TIME TO ItEl'ENT
Wood River Gazette : The trial of John
W. Laucr , the Omaha murderer , came to
an end , last Saturday morning , the jury
returning a verdict of manslaughter.
The enormity of the crime , tlio hitherto
high standing of the accused and tlio
brilliant uiTay of legal talent employed
on both sides , all tended to attract public
attention and to make it one of the most
interesting trials known to the criminal
Annals of Nebraska. The verdict , al
though by no means etUisf Rctorv , either
to'the prosecution or the defense , is
probably as fair a ono us could have been
rendered , the oyl < ienco ngamst Mr.
Laucr being wJioliy circumstantial nnd
the interest ofi tbxs public demanding
some kind of wuUshniont for the brutal
and inhuman manner iu which the
prisoner luul treated , his wife prior to her
tragic death. While there is no doubt
that Lancr comhilttcU tJ.o terrible crime
maliciously arid with premeditation ,
Ihoro exists no cVidenco of a positive
character that st/ch / was the case , heuco
the public ought to Jjo satisfied with the
result ns the punishment which ho is
liitely to get , whtch will bo from ono to
ton years , will have an influence for
good in tlio future Jiml render Lauor's
fate a lesson to wife beaters and
murders. ,
THE VEltDICT A COMPROMISE.
Weeping Water Republican : His our
opinion from reading the testimony from
the beginning very carefully that Laucr
will not bo so leniently dealt with upon a
rehearing of the case if ho succeeds iu
getting a now trial , nnd would advise him
to let well enough alone , From our
knowledge of tlio facts the vordiot was a
compromise in order to ullnriato a d is-
acreomonL Wo cannot banish the
thought that it was n cold-blooded mur
der , wjth intent enough brought out in
the evidence to hu vo Reserved a verdict
at the hands of the jury of not less than
murder in the second degree. Wo , of
course , only give a condensed synopsis
to those of our readers who have not had
an opportunity to read the facts. Our
space forbids entering into the details , or
speaking of the eloquence of counsel for
nnd against , nnd we can only hero state
that such masterly eloquence as was dis
played by Judge Thnrstou and Geiu
Cowin has never been heard in an Omaha
court of justice.
MISS ANDERSON IN PRIVATE.
How Slio Ijlvos and Acts Off" the
Her Ambitious .Brother.
Whatever judgment may bo passed on
Ml s Anderson professionally , her prlvato
lifo admits of absoluto'y ' no criticism , for
she scorns the notoriety of drawing rooms
mid positively refuses to bo lionized. She
has no pets of any description , and , un
like the average actress , dispenses with
the services of a maid. Her call-
erg number between eighty and ono
hundred a day , but scarcely n
half dozen a day are admitted.
To the horde of society people who
would bo charmed to entertain her , as
well as the curiously vulgar , the charita
ble beggars , the dressmakers , beautitlers ,
manicures , milliners , soap-makers , per
fumers. artists , amateurs , and the
medical , religious , professional and
social cranks , Miss Anderson is per
sistently "not at home. " A special bellboy -
boy is usually assigned to attend her
door and present thp cards that are sent
up. The very persistent admirers send
llowors ; and however beneficial the oiler-
ings may bo to the trade , they are simply
cumbrous to the actress and Miss
Bartello , who can neither wear them all
nor find receptacles for them about the
rooms.
Miss Anderson ris.cs at 9 in the morn
ing , takes coffee ijn hour later , her
breakfast o.t iiOonjlunch at 5 p. m. and
dinnur at midnight. All her meals are
served in her private parlor. She drives
out occasionally , but more frequently
lakes her constitutional after the manner
of the English liidids1 and walks out be
tween 10 andU. In these walks sha is
accompanied by Miss Sherman , Mrs.
Mosoleso or her cotifcin. Frequent visits
are made to thejort studios , as Miss An
derson has some ' ery correct ideas of
marbles and tjils. ( Slie is nothing of a
student , cares fpr fqw books and never
looks at a newspaper. She is passionate
ly devoted to 9tmaBlc , , sings u little and
plays the piano-lwith much hkill.
licforo a stramjer shq is painfully re-
ticient , but ini' company of her own"
selection is a delightful , hostess warm
hearted , frankimpulsive and frequently
brilliant in conversation. In tempera
ment she is naturally serious and has a
positive repugnance to levity of any sort.
The huniorous side of things makes no
impression on her and the ourlcsquo is
intolerable.
On the street she wears an English
walking suit of gray tweed , made with
n long pelisse , with cap and muff to
match. She carries herself like n queen ,
and is so simple in her style and so unaf
fectedly graceful and well bred that it
would not be possible to mistake her
womanliness.
At homo she is usually attired in a
princess robe of some solid color , made
perfectly plain , witli a white ruche about
the lovely throat. If there is any one
toilette m which her beauty is most
powerful it is a pickle-green velvet cut
after Burne-Jones ideal dress , The
long , clinging gores and train have noth
ing but their own graceful draping and
jlclmoss of fabric lor ornamentation , and
the heart-shaped corsage is filled in with
a sort of mosaic of lace.
Mibs Anderson's brother , who is the
only member of her present company
who is American born , is four years
younger than herself. He is a handsome
fellow and is very proud of his talented
sister. Ho has historic ambition and
icasons that , as his sister has made won
derful success in her roles , so ho may ,
with proper study , achcivo a similar MIC-
cqso m tlie great jnalo chacarters. Ho is
a charming fellow to talk with , is more
of n.rpailer and observer than his bisler ,
and is very popular with his fellow-actors
though ho bponds iuo.it of his lime oil' the
s > tfig6 in htutly and in company with his
mother and .famous sister.

The grave of the lll'fatcd Charlotte
Temple in Trinity churchyard , close to
the iron fence that divides , the cemetery
from Hroadway , Now York City , is vis
ited and noticed yearly by thousands of
sight-seers. In Greenwood cemelcry ,
Brooklyn , is the grave of another famous
woman , at ono time said to bo the most
beautiful in the world ; but it is compar
atively neglected. Indeed , few people
know of its existence , and there are
many who believe Lola Montoz to have
been nn altogether mythical personage.
She was an Irishwoman. The beautiful
city of Limerick was her birthplace. Her
mother was n Crcolo of Spanish blood ,
and her father was fin Irish army ollicor.
The two wcro married when nho was
only 15 and ho 20 years old , and Lola was
born about two years later , their only
child. She was christened Marie Dolores
Ell/.a Kosanna Gilbert , and Lola was
merely a diminutive of Doloi-es. Her
parents removed to England and kept
her there until she was about 0 years old ,
when they separated. Lola's mother

jondon , and lived for some
years in the family of Sir Jasper Nichols ,
commander-in-ohfef of the Bengal army.
She was sent to Paris ana to Bath to bo
educated with Sir Jasper's daughters , aud
grew to bo a girl of singular beauty and
rare accomplishments.
Up to the ago of 14 years all was thus
plain sailing. But now Lola's mother
came back from India , and the romance
began. The mother told Lola that she
was going to take her to India to livo.
Accordingly preparations for travel were
made. Dresses were purchased and
trunks wcro packed. One day Lola no
ticed that a portion of the outfit looked
very much hko a bride's trousseau. She
asked her mother what it meant , but re-
ccivedjau emtivocal reply. Then she went
to a Captain James , with whom her
mother had travelled homo from India ,
and asked him. Ho told her the truth.
Her mother had bargained for a largo
sum of money to make her the wife of
Sir Abraham Lnmly , a judge of the supreme
premo court in India. Ho was CO years
old , and , having exiiaustcd the pleasures
of the world , hoped to renew his youth by
marriage with the youug and beautiful
girl.That
That night Lola made a rope of bed
clothes and escaped by way ot the win
dow. She lied to Captain James and told
him ho might have her if he would save
her from her mother and old Lnmly. Cap
tain James did not hesitate to take her at
her word. Ho gave her shelter for the
night and next day fled with her to Ire
land , where his family lived , and there ,
after a creed deal of trouble and annoy
ance , they were married.
llin QUEKN OF MANY IIKARTS.
Capt. James and Lola presently went
to the East Indies , where ho liad the bad
taste to desert her and elope with a Mrs.
Lomor. Lola did not grieve , but engaged
homo on the next vessel , and on the voy
age made a complete conquest of a young
man named Lennox , a member of the il
lustrious Scotch family.
Reaching London , she began a pretty
gay lifo. Her favorite lover at firbt was
Lord Malmesbury , British Minister for
foreign affairs ; but noblemen by the
score , and not a few royal princes , paid
court to her ana lavished their wealth
upon her. She made her homo mostly in
London , but frequently made romantic
excursions with her lovers to Spain and
other continental countries , everywhere
exciting admiration , as well for her re
markable intellectual powers as for her
beauty.
Louis Phillippo was now kingof France.
Lola visited his court , but was unable to
make a conquest of his allcctious. Then
she went on the stage as a dancer at the
Ponte St. Martin theater. Hero she led
the writers for the press captive in her
train. Upon two of them , Bcauvallon
and Dugarricr , she bestowed her favors
pretty freely , with the result of arousing
jealousy between them. A duel was
fought in Lola's presence , and Dugarrier
was killed. Lola was a witness at Beau-
vallon's trial , whore she dressed in deep
mourning and looked so interesting that
she made a complete conquest of the
judge on the bench. Such notoriety did
this tragedy give her that theatrical man
agers ollered Iier fabulous sums to appear
on the stage again. But she refused , and
when Bcauvallon was sent to prison for
ten years flic went to Munich.
Louis 1. was then king of Bavaria. Ho
fell in love with her at once , and she be
came the real sovereign of Bavaria.
Abel , the devout Homan" Catholic status-
man , was then prime minister of Bavaria ,
and he bitterly opposed Lola and her in
fluence over the king ; but in vain. She
hail him removed from ollieo , and for a
time she made aud unmade cabinets at
will. Munich , and , indeed , all Bavaria ,
bi'camo divided into two factions , termed
Lohu'sts and anti-Lolaists. Uiots broke
out , ana civil war at ono time seemed
imminent. For a time Lola held her
ground. She had herself created Countess
of Lnnsfi'ld , and then retired to a villa
on Lnke Constance , Switzerland.
Lola next returned from England more
famous and more admired than ever.
After a brilliant social career &ho was
married to a Mr. Hcald , a rich young
gentleman of good family. But soon the
llr.st husband , the runaway Capl. James ,
put in an appearance and began to annoy
Ior | svstflnialically. To escape him she
and Hcald went to France and tlienee to
Spain , her favorite home. James died
soon after , in 1850 , and a little later
Ilould also djcd. Then , in 1832 , Lola
came to America.
CLOSINO licit ( JAitniit IK AMT.KIOA.
Nattmlly , she took to lecturing. She
narrated , witli great poworofexpicssion ,
the most dramatic incidents of her ca
reer , and had crowded houses wherever
she went. She also appeared on the stage
as an actress , and travelled as far as
California. Her business manager was a
married man with two children. When
they got out to the Pacific coast Lola
noticed that he seemed unhappy , and ,
questioning him , found that ho longed to
be with Ins family iigaia , but had not
the money to bring tlmm on with. At
once the gave him the sum required to
bring his wife and children on. A few
month later he died. Lola then bottled
a fine pension on thu widow for life , and
sent the children to bo educated at a sem
inary at Troy , N , Y. They were two
girls. Some years later one of them fell
in Jove with a 'United States navy olllcnr.
Lola , acting as thn girl's guardian , ap
proved the suit and they wcro married.
They wont to England , and Lola did not
see thorn again fdr fcomo years. Of their
final mooting , more anon. .
In California Lola married a Mr luul
from whom she was afterward divorced.
Them the went to Australia and lectured ,
giving all her receipts to the sufl'orers m
the English army in the Crimean war.
Subsequently bho made two tours of this
country , and in law bottled down to live
in New York city. Here she wrote and pub
lished h r book , and she devoted herself
largely to works of charity. She pro.
fesS'd repentance for the errors uf her
life and was received into the communion
of the 1'rotetitant Episcopitl church.
Although bho was now reco < nil/.ed and
cordially greeted by people of tue be&t
society , many still denounced her for
former erratic course. So it camo. to
pass that In the fall of I860 , walking on
moadway she met her protogo , tlio
daughter of her old agent , who had been
married to the naval oillccr. In her
usual impulsive way , Lola rushed up to
embrace her , but the young woman re
pulsed her with !
"Madam , I do not know youl"
"Not know mof Why , my child , I am
Lola Monica ! "
"Madam , " repeated the girl who owed
her all to lx > la's charily , " 1 do not know
'
you. 1 never spoke to'you bcfoio. And
If you persist In annoying mo I will call
a policeman. "
This ingratitude was too much. Poor
Lola fell to the ground in a fainting fit.
When she was carried homo it was found
that one sldo of her body was paralvzud.
A few weeks later she died. The Uov.
Dr. Hawks , of Calvary church , was at
her deathbed , and said she passed away
in the full assurance of Christian faith.
She was buried January ll . 1801 , in
Greenwood cemetery , Dr. Hawks per
forming the service , and n great host of
the best people of Now York being in
attendance.
BURDETTE ON HUMOH.
A Reminiscence of Ilia Farly Journal
istic Career.
Filtsbnrg Loader : The humorist , Rob
ert J. Bnrdette , in conversation willi a
reporter said : "Tlio humorist papers , ns
a claLs , don't hold the distinctive place
they did a few years ago. What I mean. "
ho continued , "Is that overv paper of any
si/.o in the country has discovered thai it
has one or two men who write credita
ble humor. They may not make a de
partment of it , or the man rriay not bo la
beled a funny man , but you can see it
cropping out all through the paper. You
will find it in the city dcparumcnt re
ports , with touches of bright and original
humor , which would do credit to a pro
fessional. You will find It in thn ed
itorial department and the para
graphs , and even in the headlines of
the telegraph editor. " In speaking of
his railroad passenger , which had disap
peared from print , ho said : "I never
could keep up a line of sketches of any
sort. They make mo tired. The only
man I know of who can do that sort of
thing , and do it well , forso longa period ,
is C. H. Lewis , of tlio Detroit Free Press.
Year in and year out hu goes on grinding
out that Limekiln Club aud tlie Central
Police Court , nnd 1 can't see but what it
is as bright and quaint as it was at lirst.
It is a wonder to me how be does it. I
can't do it , and if 1 try it 1 get so dis
gusted with the subject that 1 wouldn't
\yritc it fur $100 a column , lam getting
tired of writing anyway. Next summer
I am going to take a lent and go up in
the mountains and camp out for lour
months , clear away from every one. 1
think it will bo a relief to tlie public as
well as myself. "
When asked about that new book of his
lie said : "Well , now , I've heard of that
book. The newspapers Hash it up about
as often as they do my discoverer. Ac-
corning to the newspapers. Frank llatton
discovered mo and brought mo before n
long suli'ering world1 Hioeian Howard
also dragged mo out of my rural noneii-
ity to the pitying gaze of the public and
some seventy-five other newspaper men
claim the distinguished honor of boost
ing me up among the pinnacles of fame.
I am going to call a convention of my
discoverers or else send out circulars ask
ing for a loan from each of thorn. "
Bob then gave a very funny incident
which occurred when ho was city editor
of _ the Peoria Transcript : "There was a
little item crept into the. paper ono day
to tlie effect that Mr. Michael Hcmicss.y ,
or O'Hoolihan , or somebody else , had
been arrested for playfully coining home
drunk , knocking the trusting Mrs llcn-
ness > y , or O'Hoolihan , or whoever she
was. down witli a coal bucket and then
walking on her person. News was
rather scarce and as tlio citizen wasn't
connected with the police or fire depart
ments , either individually or by relation
ship , and hnd no political inlluence , and
there , were dollars to cents that he would
fet six months for it , 1 gave him thunder ,
pictured the defenseless and frail little
woman trembling and pleading before
the big , burly brute , who had promised
to love , cherish and protect her and all
that , and intimated that he ougnt to get
at least two years for it and
that it was a pity that the liws
about hanging wore so stringent in the
state. It was a good item and I got up
earlier than usual the next day to read it.
Abyut 10 o'eloek that night , as 1 was
alone in the office , the door was opened
and a big red-headed man with only one
eye came in. Ho didn't have on any coat
and his llannol .shirt was open at the
neck and his feliirt sleeves wcro rolled up ,
showing a hand and arm that looked like
a ham. He wanted to know if I wrote
the article. I told him no , that the
author was out of town and would not bo
back for two , I am only a clerk down
stairs. 'Well , whc.ro.is . . the cddytor ,
thin ! ' ho demanded. Ar idea struck mo ,
Tlie foreman of the paper was a great
big man , btnnding six feet two or three
in his stocking-feet. Ho was nn ugly
irritable fellow when at work , and stut
tered imdly. 'Well , ' said I , 'Mr. O'Hool
ihan , 1 can show you the editor , ' anil I
led tlio way up into the composing room
in thu third story. The foreman was just
making up the inside forms , and was be
hind tiniii. Ho had n big mallet in his
hand , when I pointed him out to Mr.
O'lloolihan. "Jliero,1 said I , 'is tlio man
who is responsible for everything that
goes into tlio paper.1 Mr. O'lloolihan
walked across to him , nnd , with his lin
ger pointing to thuoffendingartielo , said :
Phwatin did yo go to pnttin' that
koind of a piece in tlio pner pabout mo fqr v
The fonimau glanced at it an instant ,
then looking up said quietly : "H-h-hoow
d-did y-you c-eoino upy' ' 1 came up the
fctairc'bisyaut,1 replied Mr. O'lloolihan ,
throwing up his guard. 'W-\\ell d-ilo
y-you want to go d-down that w-way , or
y-ynn want mo to throw you out of the

raising his mullet. H took Mr. O'Hooli-
han to sizu un tlio fitato of affairs , and
then said : 'Well , bedad , Oi think Ol'll

or about 5,000 quarters larger limn last wock.
On the curb this morulne , before the opening
of business on 'Chance' the wheat market
was quite strong and excited. When regular
trading began \ery lltllo ol this buoyancy
was apparent , f or ntni ting sales o t Mnyhcat
were at 81c , or Just where the market
closed Saturday. After weakening to BO o
there was a rally to SOJ c$31c on the split ,

there was very llttlo Inclination on tlio part

leained that free oxpoit purchases of spring
