Tlic Now Social ISvlI Im\v Various Opinions. The social evil ordinance introduced by Councilman 1'oril hasas noted elsewhere , become a law. Uy Its provisions the sporting women will bo obliged to pay a line of at least $25 , Instead of $0 a month as heretofore. The now law docs not moot with satis faction in any quarter. The sporting women denounce it as outrageous. Many of them arc leaving town , scattering to all points of the compass. Otiicrs of the wealthier demi-monde are preparing to stay nnd tight the ordinance in the courts. Some have already secured lawyers for that purpose , rftill others are doing nothing , but are listlessly waiting for events to transmro , hoping that something may turn up to prevent the strict enforcement of the new law. Hut judging from Marshal Cum ings tone of determination the ordinance will be enforced and to the letter. " 1 propose to do my share to see that it is carried out , ' ho said yesterday "though it. is going to be hard work. 1 ' 11 arrest every woman in town , if necessary , and take her into court. There my duty ends. " It is the opinion of the marshal's friends that this ordinance is simply a bcheme on the part of Mayor 15oyd and a few designing councilman to give the marshal a black eye. They well know that it will bo a hard thing for him to enforce the ordinance , and hope to see him worsted in the attempt. Hut ho is deter mined to do all in his power to face that the law is complied witli. Judge Stenberg thinks that the law will prove a dead letter , on account of the dilliculty of procuring direct evidence of guilt. lie believes that it would bo a bettor scheme to line the landladies of each establishment twenty-live or lifty dollars and cost , and allow tlip girls to.'go free. This would drive the single room ers all into houses lie thinks and bettor the situation in this respect. He says fhat us matters stand now. the law will either moro than Jill the jail , which is already cro\yded , with women , or will drive thorn into a quiet plying of their avocation , under cover of some respecta ble occupation. The monthly revenue from this social evil tax is now more than $1,000. Judge Stonberg thinks that this will dwindle down , tinder the provisions of the new law , to almost nothing. THE TEBIPIjE OP JUSTICE. AVhcro Lmwycrs Coquet with the Hooded' Goddess. r In the district court yesterday Roland E. Woodnrd liled a petition for divorce from his wife Hannah T.

The mystery of the infant which was deserted on the Union Pacific train , as mentioned In Tuesday's BII : : , has not yet been entirely cleared up. A tele gram was received In Snpt.

A good story Is told at the expense of n certain Omaha gentleman , who , not nany years ago , used to turn an occas- onal dollar by suppljing n line of board- ng houses with prepared horseradish. For the sake of preventing unplcaEan 'echngs the proper name of our subject will be represented by that of "Uncle Dan. " The story runs that Uncle Dan was once a church deacon , one of those jood , pious fellows who could crnni six lays' religion into twenty-four hoursand Mill claim to bo a Christian. Uutt despite its deaconhood , Dan was wont to resort o queer tactics in preparing his wares. In fact , his memory was so short that ho nanaged , invariably , to mix three parts of turnips with onn part of horseradish , and selj it as tlio genuine article. Dan's re- igious views would also get tangled tip with the sale of his produce , and he fre quently stopped to expostulate with cer tain worldly customers upon the errors of their ways , begging , with tears in Ills jyes , for them to become Christians , like nmsolf. It happened , one day , that hu became more than usually earnest in his endeavors to reform a certain hotel pro- iiriotor , a customer , who was deep In the nlro of slnfuliu'ss , in Dan's estimation. 1'ho landlords nanio was "Jell' . , " for short , and by that appellation Dan ad dressed him : "Jell' . , my dear brother , what can I dote to induce you to join our church ? There you can got strcncth to resist the tempta tions of tlio wicked and aid you in load ing the life of a Christian man. Jell' , looked puz/.lcd for a moment , then remarked , his eyes snapping mali ciously : "I'll join your church upon one condi tion , Dan , " "And what is that ? " inquired Dan , eagerly. "That you'll quit niixin * turnips with your horseradish , ' was the dry answer. "A good skeleton , " said an Omaha phy sician the other day , "is an indispensable iart of a doctor's outfit. No physician , vho claims to be thoroughly equipped for ils business , can afford to be without one. " "What are the prices naked for skele tons ? " queried a reporter. "Well , that depends n good deal. A nonntcd skeleton can bo purchased lor af low as $35 or $30. From these figures .ho price ranges up to $150. What makes the dilTerenco ? S imply tlio fact that one skeleton Is finely mounted and thorough- y finished , while another is hastily strung ; ogcthcr and not half cleaned. The best specimens have every single bone jointed jy means of brass wires. Got out your physiology , find out how many bones you have in your body and you can then form some conception of what a task that is. The French skeletons are by far the finest in the market , costing all the way from $125 to $150 or more. The French seem to have the art of cleaning their skeletons , by some mysterious pro cess , so as to leave them white and bleached , at the same time that the bone substance is not at all impaired. The surface of the bones docs not feel ireasy and dirty to the touchas is the case with most of the cheaper skeletons put upon the market. Yes , tlio lower priced article is prepared \ America , where the act of mounting is not nearly so thoroughly understood as in France. " "Most of these skeletons are obtained , From the dossecting rooms. . Of course body snatchcrs contribute largely to the market supply. The hospitals. qiul-poork fiouses furnish a goodly number.-.lo , there is not much choice between the male and female skeletons , though phy sicians as a rule prefer that of a man. " "You had better buy some real estate m Omaha before you return to the east , " said a friend yesterday to a gentleman from Chicago. "No , " said the latter , "not this time. At least if i do , I'll keep the matter pretty quiet until I get hold of the land. I can give you the history of a piece of your ground in this city.which has frightened mo away from buying. It was first sold for $35,000. The owner backed out and asked $ -10,000. The price was agreed to , but when the transfer was sought , the owner declined to turn over the goods without ? 45,000. Some delay took place and eventually $45,000 were offered and with complacency declined , $50,000 and nothing but $50.000 the owner said would now buy the land. Well , every body who wanted the land had begun , as you may imagine , about this time , to feel like the shepherds who responded to the lying cries of the lad who claimed to be in danger of the wolf. They wcro feeling as if they wcro being badly "sold , and the leaders claimed they would have nothing moro to do with the property in question , or its owner , unless they should get an agreement in black and white to sell the ground for a given price. Well , a young attorney succeeded in getting n power of attorney from the owner to sell tlio property at $50,000 , and of course , sold it in a twinkle. But , will you believe it , the owner had scarcely signed tlio documents giving the attorney power to sell , when the same individual offered the lawyer his commission to bo released from the agreement. The lot was 00x133 feet , and what the owner aimed at was to get just $1,000 per front foot for it , and the more that owner was offered , the moro that owner wanted to got. Will you tell mo how a man can lind encouragement to buy hero under such circumstances. I'll tell you , Mr. Omaha , yon people are beginning to jus tify thn title of "Onmhogs. " which lias long boon given to yon by rivals. " As will be noted in a special telegram to the BEE from Chicago , Parsons , the anarchist , confesses to having spent n portion of his time , when eluding pur suit , in Omaha. This confirms the state ment first made in the HUB some weeks ago. As then noted , ollieors of the law wore on the trail of Parsons , but unfor tunately , before their clues had been thoroughly worked up , Parsons had Hod. Huho's road-house , which is designated ns his hiding place while in this city , is a well-known socialistic resort west of the city limits near Leavenworth street. "There goes another ono to her 'long homo , ' said a depot ofliclal , yesterday , tea a BEE reporter. The scnbo followed the direction of the oillcial's eyes and finally saw them rest on a oblong box which lay on the front of the platform of the foremost express car. It hud once been white , but battling with the elemental furies and subjected to enveloping vol umes of coal smoke.hadsadly destroyed Its creamy purity. It was stretched lengthwise - wise across the platform , and was tied with ropes to the iron guards. Separated from the busy interior ot the train , out of sight of everybody except when the train stood at a station , the box presented a singularly Inhar monious feature where there \yas BO much energy noise and vigor , But the box was not more lonely than Its occupant a dead lady on her way teen on eastern homo of intelligence nnd re finement. "It's the old , old story with such pee ple. She had lost her Health , rnslicdtoq quietly to the mountains and died. There , you see that sad featured young man walking down the platform1 asked the depot man. The reporter remarked bo did , sug gesting that the gentleman in question was the young lady s .brother. "Noslr"was the reply/'Ho's the young lady's lover. Beside him. is her mother. Her heart Is wrung with prief. When it bccnrtio certain that tbeyoung'lady could not live , Iho mother telegraphed the young man the information , ami request ing him to como ifjio'"wlfihcd tosee Klla alive. " The next tr ninwaslwliirllng him to Colorado , But ho waslo late. Llla's gentle spirit had fled two hours before the yo ung man's arrival. The conductor who brought him ovjr [ jsa ys lie's since been acting like n ci-nzy man. " "Poor fellow , " sympathetically sighed the ! re porter. "Poor fiddlestick , " exclaimed n strong-minded foniala his at elbow , who had perhaps been loved when she was a baby and hated over since , "he'll have another girl in a month. " Opolt's Hotel , Lincoln , Nob. , opened March 15th , first class In every respect. Crosby Untied. Benjamin Crosby , the young man charged with perjury in the Leslie mur der case , t was yesterday admitted to bail in the sum of $5(0.

[ Correspond ence of the BEE. ] In the absence of any thing of general interest , local politicians pro coming to light. Wire pullers are quietly at work putting up their fences to carry out their schemes. Probable can didates are being discussed , but ns yet there is very little that is definite. The republicans will probably rcnominate Hon. P. J. Hall nnd K A. Scovillo to suc ceed themselves in the lower house of the stfcto legislature. For ihe other candi date ( Sniindorn county Is entitled to litre members In the lower house ) not much hns been said. John Stccn is strongly talked of as a candidate for state senator. If nominated ho will make a strong run , for ho is very popular and Saunders coun ty coiild not select a more energetic legis later Or a uian of more polish , culture and brains than John Stccn to represent her in the upper house of the coming leg islature. Hall and Scovillo are both pop ular men , and their past record In the legislature is above reproach. The democrats have as yet kept their schemes nnd machinations beneath the surface and little is known of their Inten tions , if they have any , According to tlio election returns of ' 85 on state olnccrs the republicans have a plurality of about two hundred and twen ty live , which makes n good working ma jority.

Hl-B , Shall we eat Lime with our Bread ? It is n fact no longer questioned that all the baking powders , with the single exception of the Koyal , contain Hmo or alum. Prof. Love's report as aunlyist of the New York State Board of Health , revealing lime impurities , and Government Chemist Mott's researches showing the alarming use of nliini , have conclusively established the presence of tlii-so substances. Eminent analysts have found in some of the powders , notably these so prominently advertised , 10.7 per cent of Hmo alone. Every body Is Interested In this wholesale dubascment of food. The public health is no doubt injurlon&l'y affected by tlio largo amount of lime that Is thus take into the syMem , for although perfectly pure food is produced by the use of Royal Baking Powder , wh ich is free from lime and absolutely pure many of these adul terated baking powders are still imposed upon consumers by the false advertise ments with which they are placed before the public. "No Lime in Royal Baking Powder. Chemical tests have likewise proved the Royal Baking Powder to bo free from hmo and absolutely pure. Tins results from the exclusive use of cream of tartar ipccially refined and prepared by patent processes by which the tartrato of lime is totally eliminated. The production of chemically pure cream of tartar involved many experiments and great expense , which add largely , of course , to tlio cost o producing the Royal Baking Powder. But its manufacturers are amply rewarded In thus being able to give consumers a baking powder absolutely pure in all respects the only absolutely pure baking powder made. In emphasis of this fact , the report of Prof. McMurlie , late chief chemist for the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington , is given : "I hevo examined the cream of tartar manufactured by Iho Now York Tartar Company and. used by the Iloj'al Baking Powder Company in the manufacture of their baking powder , and found'it perfectly pure and free from lime iu any form. "The chemical tests to which 1 have submitted the Royal Baking Powder , prow it pcrfccLy healthful , and free from every deleterious substance. "WM. McMURTRlE , E.M. , Pn.D. , "Chemist in Cnicf U. S.
