A STORY OF TWO FRAIL WIVES , DlfTcronccfl In the llrlck Alnklnf * Trail o Kxnoricnco With nn AfTcqtlouuto Io ) that AVotiltlit't llroxvn. IntoH.Tnmir.R'sLiKrot.j * . _ The mere fact that people live together nml sustain intimate relations , even for years , is not always good proof that they know each other thoroughly , In no manner is this better illustrated than by the records of the divorce courts , The allegations often made in petitions for n sovorntico of the marriage bonds , it handled by a cynic , would go far to show the uncharitable condition that men , and women , too , are base , vile , double-faced creatures , whoso chief aim in life seems to bo to wrong and deceive these who should be nearest und dearest to them. In this connection the application of Willliim O. Brown for a divorce from ills wife , Mary , filed in the district court yes terday is expressive. The Browns were married tit Mount Pleasant , Iowa , on the 10th day of November , 1870. For eight years and over everything t wont well , until one day in January , 1878 , Mrs , Brown mot a man named Huddloson , with whom , her husband alleges , she committed adultery , aud has boon guilty of like improper conduct at various times since. In the same year , which seems to have been a very bad ono for Mrs. Brown , she is also accused of wandering in the paths of sin with ono Burnett. Her conduct became so bad that Brown left her lute In 1878 , and now applies for legal separation and the custody of two children aged U and It years , of whom ho says the mother , owing to her gross nature , is not a fit guardian. Another chihl , born to Mrs. rpwn in 1880 , two years after the plain- till' had left her , ho does not seem to care about. Of a smilar nature is the case of Edward Hoacoek who wants a divorce from his wife. Flaurie. This couple had been married for a long time , and lived together in peace and unity until Mav Just wheij Mr ? . JK'iWoclc went ustrjtv with Gjorgo U. Colby , unmindful ol her duty to her husband and her four children. Once in a while the defendants in : i di vorce suit Will light back , but not often. They generally turn to kcop the case from going to trialand give a silent con sent to tiio proceedings by allowing the plaintiff to get a decree by default. This is done often when the defendant insists that there is really no cause for com plaint , as in tlio James case , where Mrs. James , while denying every allegation in her husband's petition , says she is willing and even anxious to have him got a separation. A FALSE HEPOHT. At a rccont meeting of the Bricklayers' Union the scale for the cqming season was fixed at fifty cents an hour , or $4.50 per day of nine hours. This is nn ad vance of 10 per cent on wages-ruling last year. Contractors have as yet not signi fied whether they will pay the advance or not , but a number of parties who had intended building have postponed all negotiations. Thn paragraph ubovo appeared in yes terday morning's Journal. Later in tlio day a committee of journeymen brick layers came to the BEU ollico with a re quest that the real facts as printed in Tuesday's BED should no republished in order that the people can see that there is no plriko. and no danger of ono. These facts are about as follows : Throe months ago the bricklayers served notice on their employers that on and after May 1 they would demand $ -1.50 for nine hours work. As a consequence all contracts have been figured for on that basis , and employers are fully pre pared to pay the price asked. Indeed nearly every contractor in the city has avowed his Intentions ot doing so. That there is no brickwork in progress just now is pn account of the wet weather , winch has made the building of founda tions difficult , nnd put the roads in such shape that the hauling of brick is im possible. There is no strike in Lincoln and none is anticipated , both men and employers being1 anxious to nvoid one. A NOVEL BOO HOUSE. Wednesday evening while entering the yard at his homo on Tenth street near the university , Mr. George Sohemmor- liorn was interrupted by a dog that had evidently been instructed to look out for late comers. Not caring to argue the matter with the canine stranger , Mr. Scnouimorhorn made a break for the house closely followed by the dog. Directly in the path stands n well , uur- rounded by a high board curb. Mr. Schommorhorn , of course , dashodaround the curb , but thu dog in his haste to got him cssayeu a Hying leap across it. Much to Mr. Schommcrhorn'B relief at the time , however , the animal miscalcu lated the distance and dropped into the well. Yesterday morning Mr. S. wont gaily forth to fish up tlio corpse , smiling almost audibly at the thought of how the wretched cur mul been punished for his v bad manners. Greatly to his surprise however , when ho glanced down the well , the impish dog , stinking his head out of a hole iu the side just ubovo tlio water Hue , yelped out a "good morning. " The ani mal , it seems , after taking u bath , had excavated n hole In the ourth , and made himself a comfortable" . All of Mr , Sohemmorhorn's otlbrts to coax him out wore futile , anil now that gentleman is in conference with his friends its to the best moans of getting rjd of the unwelcome lodger. Mr. 8oioniniorhorn | Insists that ho has no use for a well with a dog in it , and wants to know what lie is going to do about it. Jon" Glass , the humloriT at the W'ndsor ' , has suggested that Schein- morhorn have himself lowered into the well , and let the dog take n good hold of Ills legs , when both can bo drawn out. Montro.se , the other Boniface , wants to nniond this by having the rope cut after the dog sots his teeth in Schemmcrhoru , and send them both to the bottom. Neither plan 1ms been patented , 11H1EV MENTION. There is a handsome new grip at the B , & At. depot nw.titing an owner.

OIIEKH.V , Neb. , April 30. To the Editor : I noticed a few days ago in the Washing ton dispatches that a bill has passed the United senate , granting for a period often ton years all of range 41 west for a national cattle trail from Texas to Mon tana. Hango 31 west is the western boundary of Nebraska and eastern Colorado , and includes some of the best agricultural lands there is in these two states. To permit the cattle kings of Texas to occupy this raugo of land for the purposes mimed in the bill , is to virtually drive out the hundreds ami thousa mis , 1 might say , of homesteaders who have located xnd are now on their way to settle and occupy Duudy , Chnso and other border counties of ISobraska. And why our Nebraska senators should allow such a biH to puss without a vigorous effort ou their part to defeat the uieasuro is something they may have to explain to these people Kansas has said , "No , you can't bring your diseased cattle and murderous cow boys on our soil , " and as Nebraska has had enough of her men killed , crops de stroyed , and settlers driven off , it is time 3)10 ) , too , should say to the cattle monopo lies , keep away. But , says the cattlemen , "wo only want n strip six miles wide and want that little only ten years. " To grant this would bo giving away at least thirty miles on each side of range 41 , for we nil know that the millions of cattle that would an nually pass over this trail could not bo kept for weeks ana months on a nnrrow strip of land only six miles wide. And woo'be unto the settler who would inter fere to protect himself , family , and crops from the largo herds that would scatter all over the land , and the savngc-liko Mexican cow-boys in charge of the herds. If it is desirable , or if it is the wish of our national law-makers to uunish the hardy pioneers who are doing all they can to make themselves comfortable on the frontier , they can succeed beyond a doubt by establishing a national cattle trail along the wcstcin borders of Kansas and Nebraska , aa provided in the bill in question. A small-pox hospital on every section of land in this proposed cattle trail , would not retard settlement or keep settlers tlors in so much dread as to again turn this land over to the cattlemen of Texas. The pcoplo so far as 1 can learn , are bitterly opposed to the bill and wish to sco it defeated iu the lower house. J. W. PEAKSIAN. How Bpongcs'aro Prepared. Alta California : Previous to about 1850 the Bahama Islanders cared little for anything that waa more tame than wreck ing. That was the favorite business of both men and women , who thought vir tually nothing of pursuing the ordinary methods of obtaining n livelihood. But when the number of wrecks were less oned by the erection of lighthouses nnd thn substitution of steam for sailing craft , the islanders gradually turned their at tention to the cultivation of the soil and the oxjilorations of the depths of the sea. The outcome became two fold. The two industries that sprang up were the pine- apulo business nnd the sponge trade , which arc now of such importance that they bring considerable money into the colonies , and furnish steady and lucra tive employment to several thousaudjpcr- sons. sons.When the first sponges wore taken out they wore commercially divided into two classes , the coarse and fine , worth 5 nnd 10 cents a pound. Now there are recog nized to bo nine classes , which , iu order of their values , nro slieop wool , white reef , velvet , dark reef , boat , hard head , crass , yellow and glove. Of some of tncso varieties there are several grades. Bahama nun Florida sponges are about of the same value , but they nro both rated in the market as inferior to those of the Mediterranean. Previous to the rebellion , the amount of sponge gathered annually scarcely exceeded one ton. , and it was worth on an average $20 per 100 pounds. There nro several hundred sponjro craft , each of eight or ten tons burden , nnd carrying from six to twelve men. Though these vessels merely coast along the banks and among the rcofs , they carry six weeks' .supply of provisions and do not run under lee exoopr in ca.se of a storm. The sponges nro found whore the water is shallow and nro to bo seen growing ou the roots and roofs. They are caught by diving or by moans of iron hooks fastened to slender poles. When first brought to the surface they are black , gelatinous and soft , for the spontro proper is only the skeleton of a ielfy.liko sea animal. The cateh. spread on the decks of the vessels , dies and the living coverings decay , omit ting a horrible odor in decomposing. When a cargo is secured the vessel puts in at its home bay and the sponges nro placed In a pond of stakes , tit the water's edge , where the action of the tide tends to remove tlio blnok covering , The process - cess is completed by pounding by hand , and they are strung on strips of palmetto , each strip having four sponges , and being - ing called n "boed " A cargo of "bce < l" is worth from $100-to $300 , and the sales nnd handling nro substantially controlled by the Nassau Sponge Kxchango Com pany , limited , which is chartered uiul makes irgular exchange sales. After the sponges are clipped to good shape , they nro put to soak in vats of lime-water , and after several hours nro dried and bleached in the sun. Next day they are pressed into bales , each 'J by foot , and weighing 100 pounds. These bales , when incased in bagging ami strongly corded , are ready for shipment All of the woric , from catching to ship inont , is done by native blacks. Nearly all go cither to tlio United States or Euglaiid. * A wonderful elootrio clock that runs without winding , is not affuotod by the atmosphere , cannot vary , and can bo Hold for one-half the cost of the ordi nary clock , has boon iuvoutod by Mr llu.si.oy at Muulo Park. - . STRIKES AND ARBITRATION , T , V , Powderly Gives His Views Upon the Future of Labor , REDUCE TEH HOURS OF WORK. llicro Must bo Arbitral Ion The Right to Organize Tlio Strike nnd the lockout. The North Amoricnn Review for May : Tlio prospect for the future of the labor ing man in America is brighter to-day than it ever was , notwithstanding tlio seemingly "atralntitl relations" at nroscnt existing between employer ami em ploye. That wo are passing through an epi demic of strikes , lookouts ami boycotts Is true , but the fact must not bo lost sight of that were it not for the growing pow er of organization wo should have a great many moro strikes to contend with than we have had for the first three months of the present year. The growth of organization for the lask ten years has been steady and healthy. It is only where organization ia in its im fancy Hint serious troubles such as strikes and lookouts exist. The causes from which strikes and lockouts spilng are to bo found In all parts of the country , but the methods of dealing with the troubles as they arise are different. In places where no organization exist , or where the seeds of organization have not been planted , disputing parties are apt to be come involved in .strikes. The reasons advanced in support of that proposition are as follows : Until recently very few workingmen dared to express their opin ion in public on the subject of labor , for the reason that they were almost certain of an immediate dismissal from tlio service of the man or company they worked for if it became known that they in any way favored the association of workingmen for mutual protection. With such a sentiment existing in the breasts of workiugmon they could not bo expected to feel very kindly toward the employer who so jealously'watched tiicir every movement and who , by his actions , mailo them feel that they wore regarded rather as serfs than freemen. While the real bone and sinew of the land remained in enforced silence , except where it could bo heard through the medium of the press Mid rostrum through chosen leaders , another class of men who seldom worked would insist on "representing labor" and iu making glowing speeches on the rrglits and wrongs of mail , would urge the "abolition of property , " or tlio "equal division of wealth" : such speak ers very often suggesting that a coed thing to do would bo to ' 'hang capitalists to lamp posts. " The em ployer of labor who listened to such speeches felt that in suppressing organiz ation among his workmen ho was per forming a laudable act. Yet ho was by that means proving himself to bo most powerful ally tlio anarchist could wish for. Ho caused his employes to feel that he took no interest in them other than to get as many hours of toil out of them for as few shillings as possible. The consequence quence was that the employer , who was himself responsible for the smothering of the honest expression 6f opinion on the part of labor became possessed of the idea that the raw head and bloody bones curbstone orator was the real representa tive of labor , and determined to exorcise more vigilance and precaution than over in keeping his "help" out of the labor society. The speaker who hinted or ad vocated the destruction of property or the hanging of capitalists to lamp posts was shrewd enough to speak very kindly and in a knowing manner of labor associa tions , giving out the impression that ho held membership in ono or moro ot them. Workingmen who wore denied the right to organize very frequently wont to hear Mr , Scientific lecture on the best means of handling dynamite. And when the speaker portrayed the wrongs of Jabor the thoughtful workingman could read ily trace a resemblance between the em ployer painted by the lecturer and the man ho himself worked for. Workmen employed by those who frowned on labor organizations became sullen and morose : they saw in every action of the superintendent another innovation on their eights , and they finally deter mined to throw off the yoke of oppress ion , organize , and assert their manhood. The actions of the superintendent or boss very. often tended to widen the breach between employer and employe. When the organization did come It found a very bitter feeling existing on both sides , nnd , before studying the laws of the society they joined , or becoming con versant with Ha rules and regulations re garding the sottlcmcnt of disputes or grievances , the workmen determined to wipe out of existence the whole system of potty tyrannies that had been practiced on them for years. Not being drilled in organization and feeling that the em ployer would not treat with them , the only remedy suggesting itself was the strike. And , on tlio other hand , the cm- plover , who felt that every move of his. workmen in organization would bo di rected against his interests , determined' ' to take time by the forelock nnd turn them all out on the street. Thus wo find the organization in its infancy face to face with a strike or lockout , &This condition of affairs existed in n great many places throughout tlio United tales in the beginning of the present year. Absorbed Tn the task of getting large dividends , the employer seldom in quired of his superintendent how ho managed tho. business intrusted 'to his keeping or how ho treated the employes. In thousands of places throughout the United , many superintendents , foremen or petty bosses nro interested in stores , corner groceries , or saloons. In many places the employe is told plainly that ho must deal at the store , or get his liquor from the saloon in which his boss has an interest ; in others lie is given to under stand that ho must deal in these stores or saloons or forfeit his situation , Laws have been passed in some states against the keeping of company stores , but the htoros are kept , nevertheless , and work men are made to feel that they must initroniy.o thorn , In many cases the owners of mills , factories , or mines nro not itwaro of the existence of such institutions as the "pluck mo" the name applied to the company storp but they stand so far away from their employes that they can not hear the murmor of the complaint , and if u whisper over docs reach their ears it comes through the boss , who is not interested in the store but in keeping its existence u sec rot from tils employer. The keeping of such stores is another Eourco of injustice to workmen , for their existence tends to widen the breach be tween employer and employe. It may seem that I tim dealings with insignifi cant things in Una paper , but when tlio statement is made that seven out of every ten superintendents or bosses are interested iu the management and de- riro proliU from the operation of stores which employes are forced to patronize I make an assertion which can be proved. In a country where every man , however humble , is taught from his * infancy that he stands the equal of all other men , it U but natural for a citizen who is given to understand that he must patronize a certain store , or that ho cannot join a certain society , to feel restive , and where much is promised and little obtained , men are apt to lose faith in a lawmaking ing system which obliges the workman himself , to become complainant and pros ecutor In casijs , . where the law * are violated lated to his detriment. If ho does not prosecute for infractions of laws bnt sim ply complains h < Ms told to invoke the majesty of tholavnn his own behalf. In this way law disregarded ; It becomes .1 dead letter ; men lose hope In law nnd lawmakers. , The constmu ilching nnd irritation caused by the Indifl'orcnco of the employ , cr to their welfare , and the injustice practiced on them by potty bosses , go on until men feel that the only remedy is through the strlkis. In this wav the men who oolong to tie organization nro launched into strikes. Workingmeil nro not , M n rule , edit- cated men. When the strike does come , whllo they feel Hint they have been wronged , yet they nro lacking in tlio command of language necessary to state their case properly to tlio world , nnd hence set forth their claims in such a way as to arouse prejudices or crcato false imprcslons , The other sltlo having the advantage of education , cither personally or by right of purchase , can and docs mold public opinion in a great many cases. 1 have pointed out ono or two of the little things which cause n great deal of uneasiness and vexation to the workingmen - men ; others have pointed out thu root of that evil. The worklngmcn of tlio United States will soon see that ho possesses the power which kings once hold that ho has the right to manage his own affairs. sing the day wlien the immense private top tunes can bo acquired. The now power dawning upon the world is that of the workingman to rule his own destinies. That power can no longer bo kept from him. How will he wield it ? The question Is of great concern not. only to the workingman but to ovcrv cit izen of thu republic , and the hand of even citizen who loves his country should bo extended to assist the now ruler. I have no fears because of the present apparently disturbed condition of the labor world ; on tlio contrary , the signs are very hopeful. Wendell Phil lips once said : "Never look for an ago when the people can bo quiet and safe. At such times despotism is forging now chains. " Tlio people' are not quiet to-day , but they are safe. It. is the power of mono poly that is not safe. The men who pile up largo fortunes must compensate for that privilege in the payment of a grad uated iiicomo tax. The blessings which they derive from wealth must bo shared by the nation from which they extract that wealth , The hours of labor must bo reduced throughout the nation , so that the toilers may have moro time in which to learn the science of solf-govornment. Laborsaving - saving machinery , instead of making a slave of man , must become his servant. How will the workingman wield his power ? Organized labor says the power will bo wisely handled , but we must have the co operation of the vast middle classes. The employer and employed must no longcfsttthd apart. The barriers of pride , caste , greed , hatred and bitter ness must bo torn down. The workingman - man and his employer must moot face to face ; they mtis't 'discuss every detail in the management of the concerns they are jointly operating. lUb sacrilico of princi ple on the ono himd or of manhood on the other need .attqjul . such n transaction. In the management of great and small concerns each grievance , each trouble or difference , whether'in ' relation to discip line or wages , 'Should bo talked over in a conciliatory spirit itud arbitrated. Joint boards of arbitration should bo formed between manufacturers and workmen all over the country , ! Each party should de vote considerable time to the perfecting of the plans bo.n" suited to their interest or surroundingsv'fdt1 ' rules governing ono case or locality might not work well in another.f Having after careful deliberation agreed upon the rules , each party should sign tlio articles of agreement , binding himself to. abide by them until changed by consent of both. Agreements of this kind will bo the means of settling differ ences as they arise , and with their inaug uration , strikes , lockouts and boycotts will not bo entered upon so readily , and , if over called into play , then only as the very last resort. T. V. POWUEHLY. The IjlinokilnOIubon Const Defences. Detroit Free Press : Colonel Erastus White , of the committee on military affairs reported that his committee had. carefully iuvcstioated the subject of our coast defences , as-required by a late reso lution , and had reached the following conclusions : 1. In case of war the enemy's fleet could easily bombard any city on the coast. We would therefore suggest that all these cities bo moved back fourteen miles. 2. The enemy would have no trouble in landing troops on our shores. The only trouble would be getting any of tliom oft alive again. The only stigircs- tion wo huvo to ofl'or is that Ben .Butler be notified to be on hand early in the morning. 3.
