Tlio city council , at Us Monday even
ing session , entered largely upon the dis
cussion of the question of the now city
charter that is to be yet Is not and which
Jin the progress of human events ccr-
* tnlnly moved along at a snail's pace. The
oily council expressed their disapproba
tion of this process of work in a unani
mous action that promises n double
charter business in the future , the coun
cil without a dissenting vote instructing
their formerly appointed charier com
mittee to proceed at oncn nnd sccuro a
competent man to draw up a charter and
submit it lo the legislature for action , It
is very evident that the committee of
olti/cns who have been Miptiosed to have
this matter In charge will not accept
kindly this Independent action of the
council , but 0:10 : prominent olli/.en in
publlo aflairs expresses himself that tlio
committee need not expect anything else
considering the progress backward that
has been made up to thu present time.
Several member * of the council speak of
the entire ignoring of their body in the
work of framing a charter , and they con
sider that a lltllo respect to the wishes of
the city government is at least Uuo them
in the work of framing a charter , and
they claim that up to the present their
wishes have been entirely ignored in the
matter. The result promises now to be a
double charter , or rather two diflercnt
drafts of a law of that character to bo
presented lo the legislature , nnd micli an
act would not tend to Iho speedy securing
of a charter when the lawmakers muiit.
The charter committee that has been
* upposod to bo at work for two or thrco
TV'eeliH has not yet progressed far enough
to have an instrument prepared that citi
zens could read and discuss , and yet the
days of the session are at the door. Tlio
city council in thu last year have had an
experience In city affairs that has pointed
out to them in tin emphatic manner many
at the necessities that , the now charter ,
in order to meet requirements , ought to
contain. The council also expressed dis
approval of the plans of the nitiKon'a
charter committee that contemplates
excise boards and other luxuries that
members of thccouncildoem best left oil'
all of which undoubtedly infliicnccu
them in their action of going it alone
and taking chances of Iho charter to be
prepared by them gaining the good will
of the legislature necessary to make it
the law. Yesterday afternoon a meeting
was held in Councilman ISillingsly'soHico
to lake action on the matter and select
the man to do the work.

Paris Dispatch to the London Dally
Telegraph : Tlio demi'inondaincs and
da slung Cyprians who disgraced Ilio do-
clinit ol the last umpire are passing away
otio bv ono. A few weeks iigo it was
Cora Pearl , and noxv it is Marguerite
Boliangor , an imperial Aspashi whoso
connection with the once mighty arbiter
of Ktirope is a matter of history. The
last time I saw the famous Nell Uwynno ,
or Peg Wellington of the umpire , fehu
was familiarly called M argot. Shu was
quietly walking along tlio boulevards
thickly veiled , and arm-in-arm with a
mule friend , who had been famed among
the dandies of the empire as ono of Iho
fastest copurchics in Paris Liku u good
many of her profession , Murgot had
retired to : i pretty suburban n-trcat at
Passy , whence she migrated to St. Cloud ,
and afterward to Villenouvo eons Dam-
martin , whore she has just departed this
life if not in odor of Himctity , at least
fortified bv tlio last sacraments of : i
church which has always behaved with
the greatest leniency to repentant Mag-
dulons. It is not uncommon , nowadays ,
lo meet in some pleasant rusorl In the
Miliurbs or environs of Pans mysterious
ladies a good dual on Iho decline , a.s the
French Pay , find who distill around thorn
a subtle porfuinn of pearl powder and
patchouli. These persons are , as a rule ,
on excellent terms with their parish
priests , for they attend all their religious
duties with a punctuality worthy of the
most zealous devotee , and their quarterly
visits to the business places of Parisian
bankers , where plclhorio balances have
been left to their credit by former
protectors , enable them lo return to tlioir
retreats with a periodical proclivity for
eleemosynary practices which delight
the honest heart of Monsieur lo Cure. ; Of
this class was Marguerite Bcllaugor
during the close of her extraordinary
career. After the Franco-German war
she married an Englishman , who is .said
to have been n sailor. Her union with
the son of Neptune was not of long dura
tion , as they parted company in Kugland
or Germany , I forgot which , and Margot
returned to Paris to witness the desola
tion which had overtaken the pleasant
places of yoro. Like Lord Chcsterliuld
and his friend Tyrawlcy she had been
theoretically dead for a Jong time , but it
was only rv day or two ago that she suc
cumbed lo the renewed attacks of peri
tonitis and passed away In real earnest.
Altirqucrito Bollangcr's connection with
emperor has been discussed in many
books. Like Cora Pearl's , her memoirs
appeared a few years ago , but werc iHlo
read. Margot was in the heyday of her
voiilli and beauty a blonde with spark
ling black eyes. She reminded ono of
those "blomluttcs doucoltus ct do benne
grace" whom Kubelais describes as hav
ing acted us waiti esses at the dinner
given by the unctuous and luxur
ious Bishop Homenaz. The
legend runs that the emperor lirst met
Bcllangcr at Vichy in 18G8. Her real
name had a less poclio ring Ihan her
ndopled ono. She was called t-'rancoiso
Lobojul , and had been a , bad actress at
the Beaiimarchais , the Delassoments
Continues , vulgarly known as the "Delas
Com , " which Paul do Kock was so fond
of attending , and she was altCrward a.
( iguruuto , or female supernumerary , at
the old opera. Although as unsuccessful
on the stage us was Cori : Perrl , Alargot
was not wanting in cleverness , and her
ambition was equal to her intelligence
and good looks. Louis Napoleon was
said to have met her as ho sought refuge
from the rain in comq covered place near
Vichy when out hunting. Sho. promptly
placed a mackintosh on his shoulders ,
and reversing the role which hi ordinary
circumstances .should have been that ol
the Imperial Cicsar himself , she
literally came , saw and con
quered. Margot. as will bo remembered ,
caused a tremendous scandal by alleging
that the emperor was about to become : i
parent. The scandal madn moro noise at
tlio time than the fall of the Per.signy
ministry , nnd tlio empress , when she
heard of it , became furious. The matter
was partially hushed up , but after Sedan
Iho drawers In thu emperor's rooms at
the Tuilories were ransacked ami lettcis
from Marguerite Bcllangor were found.
Ono was an epistle to M. Dovionno , a
lawyer , who had been charged by the
emperor to regulate the aifair of the
birth , and Die other wr > s a longer com
munication addressed to the uinperoi
himsulf. who was called in it ,
"Cher Seigneur. " The two epistles
were in an envelope sealed with the luttei
"N. " and the imperial crown , and super
scribed in Napoleon's handwriting "to

ments was warmly opposed after Sep
tember 4 by AIM. Jules Simon , Jules

Jules 1-orry and M. Arago were of a dif
ferent'opinion , and M. Dovionno was
formally calloJ before the court of cassa

A Detroit , Special to the Now York
World Bays : Tlio small farmers who drive
Into town nl break of day nnd marshal
their wagons nnd carts under Ilio pro
tecting shield of Mfca Michigan , perched
nloft on Soldiers' monument , often have
their uttcntlon nttructed by : i tall ligiire
that comes out of the hotel uour by uim
strikes olTut u swinging Rnto for an early
constllniional. From 0SO : till nearly i )
o'clock onch morning Senator Jones , of
I1 lei Ida , for ho it is whom the fanners
otlcc , walks the Htrcot-s of Detroit. U'u
presence is an familiar that ho attracts
nttunlioD only when a Dulroitur casually
points him out to : v stiangor : ia one of
the sights of the town. The senator lias
a very small acquaintance' , for , nno by
one , the acquaintances that ho innilu
when he lirst came hero have dropped oil' ,
that now ho is a very lonely man.
It was in the summer of 1832 that Wm ,
( J. Thompson , then the mayor of Detroit ,
innt Senator .lonos at Newport. Air
Thompson , being u man of the world
and fund of the good things thereof , look
naturally to the Dig senator from Florida ,
who IN also disposed to look kindly on the
llttshpots , Senator Jones had mot in
Washington Miss Palms , of Detroit. Ho
had hoard of her fiithur'ri great wealth
and ho foil in love with the lady , or nn ,
ideal of her. However , while ho wns in
Washington Mr. Jones had no opportun
ity to cultivate nn acquaintance with
Miss Palms. Ho rrsDoiulutl cordially ,
therefore , to Mr. 'Ihompson's urgent in
vitation to make a visit to Detroit. Sena
tor JOUOH came hero for the lirst time in
June , 1833 , and was inado n lion of.
Thuro were jolly parties at private honsus
and at. Iho clubs , excursions on the river
and various other tilings In his honor.
Senator Palmer was * among those to ex
tend hospitality to the senator from
Florida nml the memories of n. ulun ant
dinner given by iho Michigan senator at
Iho Detroit club , on which occasion the
stories wcro as good as the wine , nro still
given , lint ho succeeded no bettor hero
than in Washington with regard to Miss
Palms
On Juno 7 , 1885. Senator Jones came to
Detroit to live. Ho secured the best
room at Russell house and there ho has
made his home over since his infatuation
for the lair vision of his dreams has be
come intense. By nature he is a weeper ,
as the Quakers say. Ho has a very largo
heart , which he wears always in Homo ac
cessible place. To his friends ho talks
freely about his all'cctionsand often tears
spring to his eyes as his impulses sway
him. His warm-hcartcdnesa , however , is
not met by uny How of affection from the
other side. Jn hjiito of letters addressed
to the lady nnd her father ; in spite , too ,
of the intercessions with mutual friends
his suit has failed ijrnominiously. He
lists met Miss Palms only twice in De
troit and once in Washington. So creat
is his hallucination that ho hut main
tained that the oltlolals of the Catholic
church , from t ho mipromo pontiff ntliomo
to the lowliest altar boy in Detroit , have
formed n league to deprive him on ins
love and to save her money for the
church. Numerous sharp letters on the
subject have passed between him and-
various clorymen of the city. Every day
the snnalor walks by the Palms house ,
and apparently ho has not given up the
thought of some day realizing his dreams.
However soft Senator Jones' heart may
be , his head is hard , and ttio "cold tea"
that would bo too much for an ordinary
mortal is easily carried by the burley
senator. Jt is reported that one night in
October of last year , something was out
of gear , for in attempting to speak at an
Irish aid meeting Senator Jones con
fessed that lie did not know whether he
was addressing Irishmen or democrats.
As a matter of fact the platform was cov
ered with prominent republicans. From
that night his daily life has been very
temperato. All stories about his drink-
inj' to excess are pure fabrications.
When approached by his friends the
subject of returning to Washington.
Senator Jones lirmly waves them oil and
changes the subject. The last time that
ho was regularly reasoned with on the
subject was in .November , 1885. Then
his htrong political and personal friend ,
Mr. Hickey , of Pcnsacola , came to miika
a last effort to induce him to return to
his duties. Mr Ilickey was joined by
Mr. Thompson and another friend and
the case was presented in every possible
sliaiie , but the senator absolutely refused
to yield. He has no idea of ruiuniing to
Washington , norwill ho return to Florida
to seek election Ho does not expect to
bo sent back to the senate , \ctitis
known that hn has no income outside of
his salary. The question as to what ho
will do after his pay stops in March is
bothering his friends , but ho gives no
sign.
Senator Jones' career has boon a
strange one. His fath'cr was an Irish
Presbyterian with a bullet iu his head ,
an acquisition gained while ho was in
the British army. Hn married late in
life a ladv who was a Catholic , and many
wore the disputes between the pair as to
the religious education of their son , now
the senator from Florida , N\ lien Mr.
Jones , sr. , died his widow , fearing that
her husband's family would insist on
taking the children from her to bring up
in the Protestant faith , came with them
to America. During the war young Jon us
was a friendless huvyer in Florida. Ho
cared nothing for the southern canst ) , but
saw no reason why he should declare.
hinjsolf a union man , so ho struggled
along until pence came , nnd then his
abilities as a lawyer began to bo recog
nized. Twelve years ago ho was elected
fconator. Ho started with three votes ,
was taken up as a compromise candidate
and was elected. At that time ho was
regarded as the ablest man in Florida.
In one of his law cases Mr. Jones had
fought for the right of pome llltlo Florida
railroad to build and operate a telegraph
line in opposition to the Wo tern union ,
and when ho was- defeated in court ho
swore vengeance. On entering the senate -
ate he introduced a bill securing to every
interstate railroad the right above men
tioned. The lobby kept the bill in coin-
mitteo , but , nothing daunted. Senator
Jones went over to ( lie house and got Hen
Butler to Introduce the bill there nnd
light it through Finally it became
a law. Ho also maintained
the theory that when Secretary
lielknap's resignation been accepted hu
wis beyond the power of impeachment ,
and ho'carried out his theory by refusing
to vote for impeachment During the
campaign of 1881 ho was on the ntump
in Now York appealing to the Irish to
stand by the old party. lie
thought that his word saved the state
nnd , as a consequence , ho was of the
opinion that ho hud a right to more con
sideration than ho received from the
president. Senator Jones is a great
egotist and not a little ynm. Consider
ing himself a great constitutional law
yer , he has alwayH felt that his place was
on the judiciary committee. , and it lias
been the great grief of his political life
that ho uas not appointed to a place on
that committee.Ho has not been coin
suited even .about the appointment of a
sinjjlo postmaster. Fooling , therefore ,
that lip was unapjiroomted both by his
crtlleugues anil by the administration ,
Washington has no charms for him ,
Senator Jones has three sons and a
daughter. Ono of thn sons h a clerk to n
senatt committee ; another in in college in
Georgetown , and the third his father's
cl.irk in Detroit , drawing a salary of
81,001 , a year from the government. The
ilnuchtor is living in Mr. Hiukcy's family
in Pcnpncola.
The latest mania of Iho senator is that
James G , Bl&Sno is socking to destroy
him politically became ho stopped the
going over to Air. Hlalt o on the imit of
the Irish people of New York. Ho im
agines that there is n dam-laid plot to
prevent him over attaining the position
he has won by his abilities , nnd ho as
sorts ( hat all the newspapers of Washing-
tion. democratic as well ns republican ,
are tools of Mr. Ulaino.
WASHINGTON rUZX.I.f.n AltOUT tT.
WASHINGTON , Deo. 18 The opinion
has quite generally prevailed hero for the
last six or eight months that Senator
Jones is sufTerlng from an aberration of
mind , rausud by disappointment in love.
This opinion has been voiced by his col
league. Senator Call , who hus evidently
aiiokcn knowingly. With bomo it la
thought that Mr. Jones means to marry ,
if possible , the woman wnoso name has
been associated with his by the gossips
nnd that ho will not leave Detroit so long
as Miss Palm continues to reside there or
until she cither marries or dies. The be
lief that gained credence hero a fo\V
months ago Hint the senator intended
opening a law ( illico in Dcttolt and
settling there in business no longer finds
belief with those who now glvu him a
thought. The marked regularity with
which ho makes diafts upon the clerk of
the senate for his salary would indicate
that his reason was still intact. That ho
has bj his actions forfeited all possible
chances of re-election lo the senate is a
well established faet , for nowhere in the
country is hu more cordially disliked
than by the people of his own state ,
Florida. A somewhat charitable theory
is advanced by some of Iho senators that
the reason for hi' prolonged absence
from the senate is that ho has not the
moral courage to again appear in the
chamber after the many reports as to the
real cause of Ida lirst three month's stay
in Detroit.

Tim Measurement , of ttic Year.
Iloston Journal of Education The
length of the year is strictly Jtorj days , 5
hours 48 minutes 41) ) seconds and
seventeenths of a second the
time required for the revolu
tion of the earth round the sun. About
4fi II. C. , Julius Cpjsar , by the help of So-
sigincs , an Alexandrian whilosoph'jr.eamo
to a tolerably clear understanding of the
length of a year , nnd decreed that every
fourth year should be held to consist of
! ! ( ! 0 days for the purpose of absorbing the
odd hours. By this rather clumsy ar
rangement the natural time fell behind
the reckoning , as , In reality , a day every
fourth year is too much' by 11 minutes ,
10seconds , and tlircc-te.ntlis of a second ,
so it inevitably followed that the begin
ning of the year moved onward ahead of
the point nt which it was in the days of
Cuisar. From the time'of the council of
Nicn , in ! ! 25 A. 1) ) . , when the vernal equi
nox foil correctly on the 21st of March ,
Pope Gregory found , In 1582 A. D. , that
there had been an over-reckoning to the
extent of ton days , and that the vernal
equinox fell on the llth of March. To
correct the past error he decreed that the
fith of October of that year should
bo reckoned as the 15th , and , to keep the
year right in futurn the overplus being
18 hours 37 minutes and 10 seconds in a
century hn ordered that every centen
nial year that could not bo divided by
four (1TOO ( , 1800 , U)00 ) , 2100 , 2200) ) fhoulil
m t bo bissextile , as it otherwise would
bo ; thus , in short , dropping the extra day
three times every 400 years. While In
Catholic countries the Gregoriun style
wa readily adopted. It was not so in
Protestant nations. In Britain it was not
adopted until 1752 , by which time the dis
crepancy between the Julian and Grc-
gorgian periods amounted to 11 day. .
An act of Parliament was passed dictat
ing that September 3 of that year should
bo reckoned the l-ltli , and that three of
every four centennial years should bo
lean years : 1800 not being a leap year ,
the now and old styles now differ 12 days ,
our January 1 being equivalent to the
lIHIi , old stvle. In Russia alone of
Christian countries is the old style re
tained. The old style is still retained in
the treasury accounts of Great Britain.
In old times the year was hold to begin
on March 25 , and this usage , or piece of
antiquity , is also still observed in the
computations of the chancellor of the
British exchequer So the lirst day of the
liaancial year is April 5 , being "Old Lady
Day. "

To all who made Christmas presents , and the same purchased from the 7 :
Nebraska Clothing Company , whether their qualities and low prices
were not precisely as advertised ; furthermore , any purchased garment
unfortunately not procured the exact size , it was either exchanged or
the money cheerfully refunded ?
In the last issue , although they occupied considerable more than
the usual space , still , the stock being and is yet too immense to partic
ularize , it will therefore be more satisfactory to the public to drop in
and see for themselves the splendid bargains they offer at the G-REAT
CLOSING- SALE , which is to continue until inventory is taken.
Great sacrifices in gent's furnishings. For instance , they offer :
