Delegates to ttiis session of the grand lodge were arriving by differentIrainsyosteiday nnd there will bo from 300 to UOO in attend ance. The report of the grand recorder , II. M.

The bandbox mayor evidently be lieved in the old adage that "he who fights und runs away will live to light another day , " for ho uttered his prontin- clamento Friday , ordered the chief of po lice to entorco it , nnd on Saturday folded his tent and betook himself from the city until the storm had blown over. In the midst of such expres sions of bravery in enforcing laws it would have looked better in the lord mayor to have remained on the Held of battle and received at short range nfew of the compliments of the day rather than go into the "marine hos pital" at Nebraska City before enforce ment commenced. In this connection it was stated ycster- dav that the city attorney was also out of town , whose duty it is to draw up and prosecute these complaints , and inquiry at police headquarters showed at noon that no warrants were out. The ma } or fihouhl either brace up or let a reasonable republican council help him out ; and that without trying to lay it all to the council in advance. STAIK HOUSE NOTCS. To-morrow the board of educational lands and funds will meet at the commis sioner's oflice. Ono of the questions for settlement will bo the petition for the ap praisement of school lands in Sioux county. The meeting of county superinten dents calied by State Superintendent Lane will be held at the office of the latter in the capitol building on the 13th. It is important that all county superinten dents in tills section of the state attend.

When the Lincoln club returned from Omaha on Sunday evening a largo dele gation of base ball enthusiasts met them ut the depot and escorted them up town. The victory of the club was somewhat unexpected and created great enthusi asm. Sunday evening the Denver club arrived from the we.st and took up quar ters at the Capital hotel. The club will meet the Lineolns for the second time this season at the base ball grounds to-day for a series of three games. The now cyclone pitcher purchased from the Phil adelphia league team is expected daily , when the Lincoln battery will bo greatly strengthened. THU THIHO AUCTION SALE. The third auction sale of city lots was held yesterday afternoon and attended by a largo crowd. The sale was of Smith Park addition lots owned by Mr. Frank L. Sheldon , of the street rail way line , and free cars carried all to the edge of the addition who desired to attend the sale. The sale seemed to be liberally patron ized and prices received were satisfac tory. In fact , all the auction sales thus far hold have shown a tendency to strengthen rather than weaken prices in Lincoln realty and put money in the L purse ot those making sales. . k I'OST A. LINCOLN. Post A. of the Travelers' Protective as Hociatinn , has bcon in successful opera tion since September last. At the meet ing of the post Saturday orening the question of reorganization independent of the national organi/ation was under discussion and a motion was made tosur render the charter. The question , after discussion , went over until 1 o'clock Sun day , when an adjourned session was had. At this adjourned meeting it was decided to surrender the charter , and the prop erty belonging to the post was turned over in trust to Sam D. Leland until tl.o now club is organised. The committee to prepare the new constitution ana by laws is Messrs. John M. Gallon , II. A. Houghtou , Colonel A , P. Martin , F. A. Falkcnburg and Sam 1) .

This now organisation will bo called the Merchant Travelers' club and it will be enlarged so that any good citi/.en may join regardless of occupation , liusincss men , clerks , traveling men and profes sional men are especially invited to join , l-OLICE COUUT. "You sec , your worship , " said an old veteran in the army of liacchus , as ho planted himself Do fore the police judge r'I was just waiting to see a man before going to me supper , and , your worship , Iwau't drunk at all , you see. " His wor ship , however , felt ditlbrentlyon the sub ject , and after hearing the testimony of tbo ollicer making the arrest ho assessed the usual lino. Ono inebriate , over Sun day in the jail , bogged also for leniency. His excuse was that ho had bcon on a spree , but was perfectly sober when ar rested , just being abroad at 3 a. m. bo- causa ho thought he was going to have a touch of the tremens and ho couldn't sleep. A en nnd costs were assessed against him. The tired- looking young tramp who was locked up as a suspect at thti time of the Saturday lire plead guilty to being a vagrant and was lined .

Seven others were before the magistrate for intoxication , but as they were new o ( lenders they were fined the lowest limit. A CITY OF IDOLS. V Thousand HorHlile Idols Which lirnndlsli niootljr Arms In the Air , In Kioto , the holy city , the astonish ment of astonishments for mo is the tout- | ilo of the Thirty-Three Cubits.also called : ho temple of a ThousMid Hods , con ceived eight centuries ago by I know not what mystic in delirium , who must have md prodigious means of execution at his lisposal , says a w ritor In the New Orleans rimes-Democrat. This temple resembles 10 other ; ni'itlier altars , nor perfume Millions , nor sacred inclosuros ; ten stages of terraces , each 300 or UOO feet lone- something like an enormous series of citcus seats upon which a legion of jods , from all Imaginary sanctuaries , Irom every empyrean , should have como lo take their places to watch .some apoca lyptic performances , some crumbling tlown of worlds. In the midst , in the place of honor upon the open flower of a golden lotus , vast as the base of a tower sits tlironrd a colossal liuddha of gold , before a golden den nimbus duplojed behind him like the outspread tail of a monstrous pea cock , Ho is surrounded , guarded , by a score of nightmare shapes , something in likeness of human form , exaggerate/ ! Imgo , and seeming to resemble at once both demons and corpses. When oi\o \ enters - tors through the central door , which is low and sly-looking , lie recoils at the sight of these shapes of an evil dream , almost close to him. They occupy all the lower ranges : they descend , threaten ingly , even below them. They wave their arms on high ; they make gestures of fury with lianas clinched ; they gnash tiieir tcoth open mouths without lips roll great eyes without eyelids with an expression in tense amf horrible. Their veins and their nerves laid bare , run winding over their limbs , which have till been designed witli startling anatomical exactitude. They have been painted in bloody red , m cadaveric blue , in greenish tints like living bodies llayed , or like corpses , with all the hues of quick-nosh or of rotten ness. About the year 100' ' ) of pur era , while wo were yet at that arlistio stage represented by the native saints of the Roman churches , Japan already had ar tists capable of conceiving and executing these learned refinements of hidcousncss. On either side of the great central scut extend the ranged places of the thousand Hods live hundred on the right , live hundred on the left standing in line- In ten lines , rank above rank , and occu pying all the space ot an army corps. 1 hey are all alike in ono interminable symmetry , of superhuman staturn , gold Kparkling from head to font , and each with forty arms. From all the lofty head dresses , ringed about with aureoles , ll.ish the same rays of gold ; the same robes of gold arc close bound about every waist , witli Egyptian rigidity. Each of thorn softly smiles the same mysterious smile , and holds six or eight of his hands joined it the calm attitude of prayer , while his onher pairs of arms , outspread like the ribs of a fan , brandish in air lances , ar rows , skulls , symbols of unknown signi fication.

Henry Eussellt the Author of 800 Popula Ballads , SENTIMENTAL SONG SCORES. Great Composer of Small Scales Songs "With Pntll 1'rlces for "Woodman , Spare That Tree. " A writer in the Chicago Times thus speaks of Henry Kussolltho famous song writer : Those who were residents in the old country a quarter of a century ago , or perhaps even a little farther back.will remember that certain songs wore sung everywhere , which had a marvelous in- lluonco on the imagination , and some of which , no doubt , greatly colored the youthful conception of what this western hemisphere is. It may bo almost cer tainly believed that the songs of Henry Hussoll led many an aspiring youth to determine on leaving home for these shores. The writer can remember , as if it were but yostorday.sinjringon the Pent- land hills on a bright and happy holiday the lines which begin : To the west , to the west , to the land of the free , Where the mighty Missouri rolls down to the sea , Where a man Is a man if he's wilting to toil , And thn humblest may gather the fi tilts of the &uil. What a glorious vision , even in dear old Scotland , those words summed up ! And perhaps no tlrcam of boyhood's days was ever founded on more of actual re ality. Does the reader know who Henry Hussell is the author of the imtriie to "U'oodman , Spare That Tree. " and the once famous "Cheer , Boys. Cheery" 1 remember well the Fourth regiment marching down the high street of Ediu- burg.starting for the Crimean war , some where over thirty years ago. Alasl how few of those brave lads lived to see homo again. As they marched , clean , strong , and bright , if not g ly , it was that air the band played : Cheer , bovs , cherr no more of litlo sorrow. Its author at any rate it still alive , halo and hearty , a man of seventy-four sum mers. Probably the best known monument m Boulogne is the Napoleon column. Quito as familiar to the townspeople aitd resi dents is the face of Henry Kushull. Butte to the largo number of persons wno enjoy - joy the acquaintance of the genial old gentleman , of rathci military appear ance , that face simply is welcome as the face of an agreeable friend. Few are aware that the white hat covers the head of a man who was a giant among entertainers and one of the most successful composers of our century , if lasting popularity may bo considered the criterion of success. HIS I'lIUT SfAUT. Henry Russel made his name when comparatively a young man , and was entertaining as early as l&W. Ho was born at Sheernoss. "Yes , 1 started at Rochester , New York state , as an organ ist. The pay was a pittance. I deter mined to try New York. I made my debut there at the old music hall ; it was in that hall that nil the best concerts were given. 1 may say now , and say it without brag , or what we call in America 'blow , ' that the ofleet of my descriptive songs was great from their novoltv , and certainly they did inako a very extraordinary impres sion in fact , a furore. I made my pile quickly and oasily.and I soon in vested foO.OOO in the United States bank. Tito bank collapsed almost immediately , and my competence disappeared at one blow. I was again plunged into com parative poverty. One day 1 was walk ing along Broadway ; I was nearly penni less and much depressed. 1 heard a man grinding ono of my tunes on a barrel- organ. I was pleased naturally and my pulse quickened. Had his' organ bcon made in the States ? The organ-grinder was an Italian. I addressed him. 'li clic p.irto venite tu ? ' 'Do Parma.signor. ' 'Et qui a fatto quol organo ? ' 'A Briming- ham , signor. ' Two of the airs the man was playing were "U'oodman , Spare that Troti , " and "The Ivy Green" two of my airs. 1 grasped the situation. My tongs had become popular in England. UUFOKK THE FOOTLIGIITb. "I started for the old country at onco. In three or four weeks 1 was offered a good engagement by Bealc. the im presario. It was for a tour of six months. Patti , Dohler , Lablacho and his wife wore members of the company. The terms were muniliciont ; I need not say I closed with the oiler at once. That tour was an enormous success , At its termina tion 1 was ollcrcd an engagement , on still bettor terms , but I had determined to give an entertainment and bo my own master. My only predecessor in this line had boon Footo , Dibdin , the older Matthews , and Yatcs. I opened at Han over Square looms ; crowded houses fol lowed. 'Tho Gambler,1 'Tho Ship on Fire , ' 'The Maniac' were the talk of the town ; in fact , 1 was a draw. My pre vious experience as an organist was of great help to me. I am of opinion that , the time being altered , any well known sacred song is certain of popularity Possibly the old tunes come back to us. I can give you several instances of this. The hundredth psalm played quickly produces'Old Dan Tucker. ' Several of my best known airs arose from this dis covery. I remember that I first arrived at this conclusion when idly running my lingers over my organ keys at Rochester , " 1 suppose 1 stirred the audiences con siderably. On ono occasion I was invited to Hanloy to give u benefit entertainment for the Staffordshire potters , who were in much distress. After I had sung my song , 'There's a Good Time Coming , Boys : Wait a Littla Longer , ' a man in the crowd rose excitedly and shouted : 'Mus- tor Russell , can yo hx the toimo ? ' An other workman in the reserved scats stood up and quickly said : 'Shut oop , man ; Muster Russell'll write to ye.1 At Newcaatlo-on-Tyno I gave the 'Gambler's Wife. ' 1 may tell you that the wife is awaiting the gambler's return. The clock strjkes 1 the clock strikes 2 the clock strikes 3. As iho clock strikes 4 the young wife , clasping her child to her bosom , dies in hopeless despair. A woman stood up in my audience nnd em phatically declaimed in a shrill shriek : 'Oh ' , Mr. Russell , if it had boon mo , wouldn't I have fetohod him homo ! ' " "WOODMAN SPAIU : THAT TUKE. " In earlier days , as ho was singing "Woodman Spare That Tree. " an old gentleman cried : "Mr. Russell was the tree spared ? "It was sir , " was the an swer. "Thank God for that ! " he exclaimed - claimed with a sigh of relief. The real istic character of Mr. Russell's songs , and the impression of actuality which they gave the minds of the people are shown in another anecdote. On thu "Newfoundland Dog" being sung , a piece which described the dog saying a child's life. a north countryman ex claimed : "Was the child saved , raont" "It was , sir. " With the anxious look of ono asking a great favor the man asked : "Could yo got mo a pup ? " Henry Russol has written the muiic to between seven hundred and eight hun dred songs , the words of many of thorn being by Thackeray and Dickens , Charles Mookay , Tennyson , Longfellow , George P. Morns , and oven the immortal Tup- per. Many of the.se tongs are engraved on the hearts of the English speaking race , Probably such songs as "Cheer , Boys , Cheer , " will never die , although it is extremely ditlioult m such matters to predict immortality with any certainty. It is quite certain that many tongs seemingly possessed of every qual ity requisite to secur6 permanent lodg ment in the popular mind , do perish un accountably , while ] others thrive vigor ously that oughtn't to } so far as one can itidge. The composition of songs in Mr. lutsoll's early days was not rontiir.oratlvo work. The composer ot very small pay indeed , and rovallics tn 'those days did not exist. exist.VALUK VALUK OK OLD T1JIK SONGS. To show the real yaluo of u popular song as a commercial article , it may Jbe mentioned that over a law suit concern ing the "Old Arm-Chair" words by ElT/.a Cook.muslc by lit-nry Russell with which , however , neither individual had anything to do the suin of $85,000 was expondedl A good "Old Arm-Chair" for the lawyers , at any rato. It is interestIng - Ing to note the prices Henry Uusscll cot for some of his most famous songs. For "The Ship on Firo" ho was paid | 5j for "Tho Maniac , " $3 ; "The ( tumbler's Wife. " fi ; "The Ivy r.reon , * ' $2.50 ; "There's Good Time " a Coming , Boys , $10 ; "Cheer , Boy ? . Cheer , " $15 ; "The Slave Shi,1' ] ' $3 ; "Alan the Life-Boat , " $2.50 ; "Woodman , Spare That Tree , " $10. Over two hundred songs were written by him gratuitously. Of course ho made his money by singing his own songsbut in doingso fie made them so immonselypopu- lar that the publishers reaped a splen did harvest. They were not always un grateful. On going down to the store of a celebrated music-seller to inquire how his song of "Cheer , Boys , Cheer , " was going , the gratifying reply was : "Wo nave thirty-nine presses at worK on it day and night. " The publisher in this case did not forget the author , sending him a magnificent plateau with the sim ple inscription , "Cheer , Boys , Cheer , " and a handsome check. His success as a composer of negro melodies was also remarkable. After Itiee'.s "Jump , Jim Crow , " his were the most popular of all negro songs. "Buf falo Girls" and "Going Obcr do Moun tains" are examples , Ilnssol says that his great object in those days of discon tent was to make thn woikingman less hostile to the capitalist and the capitalist appreciate the workiigman thus con verting music and poetry into u moats of creating friendly feeling between an tagonistic classes. SlOItV OF HKAIIAM. Henry Kussol himself chums that he was an apostle of emigration , and that "To the West , to the West" was the orig inal cause of ninny n man's good fortune in fur-oft'lands. As may be imagined from his extensive and varied experience , as well as his un failing How of spirits , ho has been n great story toiler , nnd the following ho gives its having happened on ono occa sion when he was present ut a London thealer : Scone A forest , with village inn. Landlord discovered. Knter Braham. Landlord What brings theo hither at this deadly hour of the night ? Braham ( mysteriously ) I have wan dered here through the dense forest in search of one great object ; that object is my father. Landlord Thy father' Braham Yes , my father. But that voice ! I know its tcncsji they linger on my ears with a musical sweetness that never can be erased from my memory. Landlord What meauH this ? Braham ( striding towurd him and offer ing to embrace nim-rIes , , you arc my father. Landlord Nay , never ! , I am not your father. Braham ( piteously ) TJien who is my father ? At this point a little 'Jriw ' arose in tbo pit , greatly agitated ; " 1 know him veil , " he said ; "his name is A by Punch , and ho comes from the lann. " ' ( Petticoat lane. ) Braham , utterly staggered , stood help less , while the luulicncq screamed with delight. The opera was played out to laughing crowds. Many bore witness to the truth of the little Jew's statement , testifying : "Wo all jiuow'd , but he's ashamed of it , ho is. " A cockney audience of a certain class soonis to bo exceedingly " previous ; " such incidents would bo impossible in Chicago , anyhow or anywhere. Braham , it may be sluice , was a well known singer of the time. MONEY IN THE MOUNTAINS. Rich Discovery of Treasure in n North Carolina Cave. I met in Richmond the other day the old man who was known in western North Carolina and western Virginia as Iho "Treasure Hunter , " and when 1 urged a strong desire to know how he came by his title ho expressed a willingness to sit down for a talk. "To begin with , " ho said , "I am a sin gle man , and have no relatives in Amer ica. I came from England in 187:3 : and intended to buy land and settle down at Greensboro , N. C. At Petersburg , Va. , while enrouto , I was taken sick and rob bed of my money , some fO.OOO , and when I reached Greensboro 1 had only about $75 left. I was naturally broken up and discouraged , and after a little time I drifted into the mountain range to the west of Statesville , found a comfortable caye in which to live , and became a hunter-hermit. For the first thrco months I saw only two human faces. I became accustomed to this wild and solitary life , and entered the towns only when driven to do so by want of provisions or amtuu- nitl on. "It was one day in 1873 that I encoun tered a hunter in the mountains who told me that I was regarded by the outside world as a treasure-hunterand that thcro was much curiosity concerning my move ments. It had been reported that 1 liad found a box of gold in a cave , and u score of men wore searching the ranges in the hopes of meeting with luck. This was the first time thu idea of treasure had crossed my mind. In ray rough jaunts 1 had discovered several caves , but had not stopped to explore any of them , as I had not thought that they had over bcon occupied by men. When I separated from the hunter , who appeared to bo a very honest man , I sat down to wonder if it were possible for luck to como back to mo through some rich find , and though I smiled at the thought when it first came tip , 1 soon became deeply 'interested ' , and that night I scarcely sleptl for speculat ing on what might turnjiup. ' 'Bright and early nc tjuornlnn ; I was off up the _ range to the northwest , having us my objective point a ( save which I had discoveied months before in the Iron Mountains , southwest of ) Morgantown. It took mo n day and a haK to reach it , for it was in summer , aK4tho | mountains were covered with plants , roots and vines to obstruct travel. TUo , mouth of the cave was under an overt-hanging lodge , where I had crept for sli&iler from a fierce rain storm , and before leaving the neigh borhood I entered it far enough to see that it was u very roomy place , and that fires had been built thermal some time by the hands of man. "It seemed to mo as I pursued my journey lhat this cave would be moro likely than any other to contain somcfhing , but the nearer I came to it the more ridiculous seemed the idea of treasure. Refugees and deserters from the confederate army no doubt sought the mountains for hiding places , and after the war they were infested by outlaws and moonshiners. I might possibly find a rusty gun or knife , but I could hope for nothing morn. "I came to the spot about noon of the second day , and to toll you the Irulh I was quite disgusted with myself for be ing carried away as I had been. I built a lire , cooked a partridge I had shot , and made no move toward entering the cave for a couple of hours. Then I forced my self against my bettor judgment to pro- para three or four torches and' light' ono and enter the place. The opening was About a > large us hogsheadbut scarcely had I gene ton feet when the c.irc became a chamber. There was a pretty strong draft coming out of improving that it had another opening , and the lloor and sides were as dry as -bono. . It was a good place for sunkcs and varmlnts.attd 1 pro ceeded very cautiously on that account. "The firebrands 1 had previously dis- covcrd had been disturbed. The lire had been built just at the entrance of a circular chamber which must have been twenty-five foot across , nnd the draught would take all the smoke out of the mouth of the cave and scatter It among the thick pines. I found not only a largo heap of ashes and charred brand1' , but a pile of fagots which had been laid aidu and never burned. Nearby yore a moldy old haversack , a heap of mofd represent ing a woolen blanket , an army bolt , a rusty revolver , a bayonet , a lot of bones of birds and animals , and a pair of boots which had become useless to the owner before , ho threw them away. "It was pliln enough that outlaws , de serters or renegades find made this cave their 'aiding place , and I began to look for further relics. 1 started to the right , and circled the chamber just half , and then came to a narrow pastagcwav load ing into a second chamber. 1 wont back and circled to the left , but found nothing until I again reached the passage. Leav ing a torch burning In the outer chamber I lighted another and passed into thu next. The rift or passageway was about ten feet long , and there \ > as almost enough draught hero to extinguish my torch. The temperature of the cave stood at about HO degrees , while that of the summer day outside was fully 85 degrees. "I found the second chamber to be an almost square room , measuring , 1 should think , 10x01. The floor was not so oven as that of the other , nor was the roof as high. The draught cauio out of a rift or blowholes in the roof , but I could not lo cate the exact spot. I had scarcely entered - torod the place before 1 know that an im portant discovery was on the tapis. Thcro was a bundle of clothes njrainst the rocky side , and two guns , which 1 after ward found to bo shotguns of ancient make , leaned againt the side. I approached preached the heap of stutl' and began tearing it to pieces witli my foot. The articles were bettor preserved than in the other room , probably because the room was drier , and because they were directly in the draught of the pure air. Ono of the first things 1 kicked aside was a small leather trunk , provided with handles like a valise , and used as a valise. It was of English make , and while it must have been many years ola before it paw the cave , and had probably been there for several years , the leather was still in good condition and iho lock all right. There were in addi tion to the sachet two iron kottlcH , some tin and crockery disiios , some rough cut lerytwo or three blankets and bcdquilts. a sharp and rusty butcher knife , a suit of rough clothes , a coarse pair of shoes , evi dently worn by a female , and a small wooden box in which I found buttons of various sixes and needles and thread. That two or three persons had occupied the cave in company , and that ono of them was a woman thcro could bo no room for doubt. "Tho trunk was the only thing likely to contain any object of value , and 1 car ried it out through both caves into day light. Its weight led me to believe thr.t it was lull of dishes or cutlery , and before - fore I could break the lock ana get a sight of the contents , I became so nerv ous that 1 was all in a tremble. It was a minute or two before 1 dared to inspect the contents. Then I took out several towels , two white skirts , two or thrco line handkerchiefs , and then came to two buckskin bag.s , which 1 knew contained money. Ono was much the larger , and this I opened lirst , and found it contained silver coins , most of them dollars and halves of American coinage , though there were , perhaps , fifty Mex ican pieces , the other contained gold pieces , the denominations running up to twenties and down to fives. There was altogether $7,003.50. When 1 got over my excitement I went back and carefully examined every thing , hoping to got some clew to the people who had occu pied the cave , but found nothing what ever to give mo information. I could reason that the people had lied from their homes , taking all their wealth , but how many there wore or what became of them , were questions no ono could answer. The money was not mine if the rightful owners wore alive , but I spent six weeks making inquiries , and learned nothing.
