In conclusion Miss Allan says : "One
great cause of the advance made in the
past year is the change to more commo
dious , accessible and pleasant rooms.
The central location enables many busi
ness men so take advantage of the read
ing room'and the easy access causes
many to become active borrowers , who
in the old rooms were unable even to cu
ter the library. "

A TAMC WITH SPANGIjlJU ,
Matters Pnrtnlnliii ; to tlio PostulDtio
niul Its
Poatofllco Inspector Spaugler says thai
hq IMS vccommonded the appointment o :
two inoro clerks for the | ) ostolico ! , to the
department at Washington. Ho also
Bays -that the work at the general delivery
window has become too heavy for one
man , and in vtow of this fact ho has rcc
ommendcci the appointment of a sccoiu
man. for that place.
The matter of readjusting the salaries
of the employes of t.ho postoQico lias also
received some attention from him , am
JIQ says lie has rccouimcudcil to.thop03ta
department that the readjustment bo
made as soon as possible. I-or some reason -
son unknown to him , the salaries of the
clerks of the Omaha oll'ico are not equal
to those of other offices , and for this rea
son he thinks the department will bo in-
luccd to make the adjustment men-
ioncd.
Air. .Spangler speaks with some fee.llng
is regard * the misrepresentation made in
me of the Omaha papers concerning his
connection with the removal of Kdwards
rom the general delivery window of the
lo-tolllpo. Ho denies havinghad any po-
itieal motive in view in suggesting the
emovul. Hi-admitted he was a demo-
rat , but lie did not know to what politi-
.ul party Mole belonged , neither did he
mow the party fcclingsof more than two
nun in the olhee. When he
; ommenced to act 111 a partisan ,
ic would aim at higher positions than
hat of clerkships. Kdward'.s removal
vas made for good ami valid reasons and
ho misrepresentation made about the
natter had caii-od considerable unplcas-
mt feeling , as much for Kdward as for
liniM'lf.
Mr. Spangler says that Chief Inspector
\V. \ A. West will be here some time
luring the present month ,
la propo-ed to take that
reiitleman all over the city , show him
Is o.vtent and the manner in which it is
implied by the present force In the
jllieo. He has no doubt'that as Mr.
Vest is a most intelligent and competent
) llicer , ho will readily sec the necessity
> f a larger force and probably , if circum-
itanecs warrant it , bo Induced to make
ihanges now absolutely demanded.
Mr. West will also be asked to consider
he advisability of increiising the depart-
ueut by extending it so as to include the
vcstcrn part of Iowa and other adacnt , |
crritory. The part mentioned is in-
jluded in the department of which Chicago
cage is the center. It is live
iiindrcd miles from that place
mil rcriuircs time to work it ;
vhilo it is but a couple of hours from
Juiaha , and matters could sometimes bo
ittended to Iroiu hero in half an hour
which now requires at least a day.
Mr. Spangler did not know what had
c'ii ' done to forward the proposed con
solidation of this department with that at
Denver , but so far as he was concerned
10 would workif any consolidation were
effected , to liaye the headquarters at
Jmaha.
BIUS. FOUNTAIN'S HOME ,
i\t PrcHCiit in the .Merchants Hotel ,
St. Paul , Minn.
An Omaha gentleman said ( yesterday
o a reporter for the Hi'K : "I've just
eturncd from St. Paul , and you can't
guess whom I saw there. It was no less
than Mrs. Fountain. I tell you she was
ooking excellently. She was followed
jy a big colored woman who carried that
ittle foundling. I walked with her a
short distance. I asked her what her
msbaiid was doiug , and she said that lie
wasn't doing anything. They are stop-
/mgat the Merchants and are living in
iroat stylo. I tell you I consider Mrs.
fountain arcniarkablo woman remark
able in the ability to pay so lavishly for
living , and yet have no visible means
of support. Now I don't
suppose that her hotel bills for self , hus
band and maid arc less than $8 per day ,
or § 230 per month , because the Mer
chant's is a loading hotel in St. Paul , at
least in the class of people who regularly
patroni/e it. I know that when she
stopped at the Millardhotel.she paid , and
l > aid regularly too , more than any other
Hoarders the house had for the same
amount of accommodation , and that was
something over $0 per day. She is living
in the same style in St. Paul and , I under
stand , the hotels have no difficulty in col
lecting their bills. "
The Fourth at South Omaha.
The Fourth of July was celc ;
jrated Sunday at South Omaha
jy the residents of the vicinity and
, v number of the people from the city.
A great deal of hilarity was indulged , es
pecially in the neighborhood of Bruno
Stratman's saloon , whore beer was
cot. sinned in copious quantities , and a
dancing platform provided for the pleas
ure of the patrons A couple of scrapping
mutches took place , but they were
stopped before anybody was badly in-
iurcd. One of the participants in some of
the scrimmages was a fellow loaded with
malt juice who frequently displayed a
razor , which caused him to bo feared by
some of the more poaccupl } ' disposed of
the people. He was deprived of his bar-
borous weapon by Deputy Shi-rift" Frank
Walker , and thrown into the school yard
in the absence of a jail , where he soon
lay down and slept until this morning ,
by which time the juice of the malt had
resolved itself into a headache of gigan
tic dimensions.

"That " said the
dog , a sporting man
other night , pointing to a small black and
tan which nestled at his feet , "that dog
Is a prodigy. "
"So ? " chorused his auditors inquir
ingly , "tfllns about him. "
"To tell you all about him would re
quire a good deal of time , " repliedJtho
man of cards , "but 1 can relate to you
ono little anecdote which will show yon
that lie is a dog of no ordinary ability. 1
will simply state hero that he is a pure
blooded rat and tan , is ten years'old ,
and has travelled with mo from San
Fraiiei.-cp to New York. He Is with mo
.ill . the time from the moment 1 leave
ny room in the afternoon to the moment
I retire the next morning. You will
ilways find himcurlert up at my feet
whenever and wherever 1 am playing.
"It was in the year of 1SSO I think that
I was playing in one of the pouer games
it Coney'Island. Iliad had pretty good
luck that year , and had gone to the island ,
more to rest up and have a gooil time
tliiiu to play cards. However , I found
in opportunity to get into a good still'
ame of draw'poker , and my instincts
: old me to accept it.
" 1 was notlueky ; in fact 1 was far front
t. During the lir.stsix days that 1 plaved ,
inyloslnsrs footed up to ! ? ' _ ,000 and over.
here was one man with whom I was
continually thrown into play , who seemed
o lie extraordinarily fortunate. His
IIICK was simply aggravating , and
though I determined not to give up the
game. 1 had a sort of feeling that it
ould not be. long before my pile was
one. I watched closely for any e 'i-
donee of cheating on the part ot my op
ponent , but found not the sligliiest cir
cumstance loading me to the belief that
lie crooked.
"This dog Jack , who was with mo then ,
was sharper. One day lie arose from his
position at my feet and , walking around
lo the chair of the man who was win
ning all the money , eyed him suspicious
ly. Then with a vicious snarl ho jumped
at the fellow and sank his teetli in his
arm. The dog shook the fellow's sleeve
as vigorously as heyoiild a rat , and lol
a whole handful of kings , queens and
aces tumbled out upon the floor. The
mystery was solved ; the dog had do-
tc.ctod the old style trick of "holding out"
the best cards , which the fellow had prac
ticed. At the pistol's point the cheat was
made lo give up his winnings ami then
dr.vcii out of the place. Very few people
have ever been willing to believe that the
dog's action in jumriug at the gambler
was more than a sudden freak. I know
better. I shall always believe that Jick ;
realized that the gambler was "raking
in" too much money , and knew how to
put a stop to it. "

Lien po free , notwithstanding sin1 is a
girl of iicpiilisirviokcilncss. . Her nanio
is Ijfczlo Ijfonnnl. so slio says , and out
of tin- many she 1ms homo that limy bo
tlu right one. Hut she has been most ro-
innrkably known us Albert Leonard , : i
sportiv , 'boyish fellow about town , hhe
has worn nia < eiillno clothes almost con
tinuously for two year * , ami without
detection until her arrest a low days a o.
She sat In a crowded nudicnen at the
Acadumy of Music alongside John Jle-
rnflrL-y , from Hartford , and when lie
emerged to the street Ins wateli was
pone. He told a policeman , and Li/.o
was arrested. The wtilch was not found
in lie.r pockets on a thorough search be-
inj , made , but. the fact was ascertained
that she. was a cirl. in spite of her
cropped hair , her dandy suit worn over n
liRiirn caleulateil to help the deception ,
andhercl''ar held niannislily between
her lips. Her face was not pretty , hciiiti
too strong in its features lor fcmininu
cliarm , though as a male visage it was
joo'.i nnotigh. I.l/o was kept in a cell at
police lieadiiiarter | days bevond tins lime
iieeossary to demonstrate Unit theio was
no positive evidence against lior in the
watch case. The police had ascertained
that she has a wonderful criminal , and
tlicy desired to revive some old charge
on which to punish lior , but a writ of
habeas corpus has finally released her.
.She walked out of durance in trousers ,
got Into a hansom cab and drove jauntily
away , spitting back at her enemies some
of the juice trom a quid of tobacco that
she was chewing like a little man.
Llzo has been during the past four
years a most unimie. eonlidoiiec operator.
S'.ie was for several years an impcr ona-
tor of swells on the stages of cheap and
low variety theaters. The records of an
agency for that sort of dramatic talent
snow that she lilled engagements in va
rious Uowcry halls , as well as in other
cities far and near. She was then known
as Uosu ( inland. It was understood that
she had come from ( ialena , III. She
had no dislike for the wine room branch
of the profession , and was generally rev
gardcd as a tough. Jt was her frequent
custom to make the trip between the
theatre ami the boarding house in the
male costume that she wore behind the
footlights. Gradually she extended these
exploits to all night sprees about town ,
and the thorough boyishness of her
aspect enabled her to o.-ctine discovery
save when she chose to impart the secret
to boon companions. This she sometimes
did after she had been touring the bar
rooms half the night with a party of
follows , and their astonishment tickled
her mightily. Many of these cxeusions
were with swells of'the top sort , and for
awhile she seemed to ue incited only by
an innate love of deviltry. The police do
not think that she had previously been a
thief. They are certain that she was
once an honest worker in a tobacco fac
tory , subsequently the tender of a lunch
counter in the Bowery , and later a fre
quenter of concert nails , where she
picked up the training for performances
on the stage.
One night she was masquerading with
a party that included Joe Shaw , a pro
fessional thief , and he stole a'wallet
from a boozy comrade. He and she were
arrested , and ho was convicteu , but she
was acquitted , anil her sux was not dis
cerned in the trial. After that she used
hoi opportunities tor robbery industrious
ly. The best of lior dramatic feats was
the imitation of drunkenness in a dandy ,
and this accomplishment she turned to
nefarious account. She would avoid
drinking mue'h when out with rpysterers ,
but counterfeit their inebriety in its pro
gressive stages , until insensibility came
upon them. Then she would rummage
their pockets and ottit , with tlio _ swag.
One of these robberies was committed in
the notorious cork-room at Hosier &
Dial's ' concert garden a combined green
room and wino room , where the decora
tions of walls and ceilings consist of
thousands of corks from the champagne
bottles Opened there. The victim in that
instance was Jerome Clyde , a rich fellow
'
low , who did not boar his' loss secretlyas
most of Life's subjects had done. _ The
managers of the place , too , permit no
criminality on their promises , and they
set their chief bouncer upon her. To
avoid a thumping Li/.e avowed her sex ,
restored the plunder and promised never
to trespass tliere again. * CL"fc3
Lizc did not discard man's ' garments ,
however but she transferred herself to
Brooklyn , where she frequented the
legitimate and other theaters , scraped
acquaintance with careless , centce.l loaf
ers , and robbed them when the chances
ollercd. That method was nearly safe ,
because the losers were rarely inclined to
take the notoriety involved in prosecu
tion , oven when they felt sure of the thief.
Whenever they threatened to have her
arrested she divulged the fact that she
was a. girl , and reminded.u ! jn of the
nmcule uiat , tfiey would nave " To endure
if they made public the mot that they
had unwittingly hafl-fellowed with a girl
in male attire. That was usually enough
to save her from trouble. But at length
she adopted a more direct mode of steal
ing. Slio pocketed a watch in George
FtUk's jowelrv store , a big Brooklyn con
cern , and was arrested. At the police
station she was exposed as a girl , com
pelled to don skirts , in which she was
convicted and sent to the penitentiary
for six months. After her release she
wont on a tour of the southwest , acting
in concert halls , and it was as recently
as last Christinas that she returned to
Now York. She has since sung in Palm
Garden , Prosucct Garden , Harry Hill's
Theater and the Liverpool Varieties. At
these places she figured in the wine-
rooms , often playing licr favorite dodge
of pretended Inebriety in order to pick
pockets easily.
