[ most TIII ; IIKK'S LINCOLN' IIUUKAU. ]
Oecoratiou Day was grandly observed
in Lincoln. The two posts of the G. A.
H. in this city left nothing undone in the
line of prcparition and the smoothness
tl nil proceedings of the day attested
their thoroughness. The fact that United
States Senator Mandorson was to be the
orator of the day attracted largo numbers
lo the city from outlying towns and the
adjacent country , .so that before noon the
city streets teemed with floating hu
manity. In the morning hours of the
day tlio posts and committees visited the
cemetery and decorated the graves of
the dead soldiers , and the afternoon was
iriven to the parade and the exercises
upon the campus grounds at tlio ceme
tery. Seldom if over has so fine a pro
cession moved through the thorough
fares of tlio city and the streets for blocks
were packed with spectators. The Uni
versity cadet's band , probably one of the
lamest and best drilled bands in the
Btato , headed the marching columns , fol
lowed by the cadets in full uniform ,
numbering over 100. Company I ) , of the
Nebraska National guards followed in
line and fully 400 G. A. K. veterans made
ft double column marching line that ; cov
ered nearly two blocks in
distance , The old veterans
allowed that the days of march
nnd battle had not been forgotten , for
they Kent step along thu long line with a
precision that t'.io younger soldiers in the
van could well pattern from and emu
late. In the center of the long marching
line the second band held their
place , followed immediately in the rear
by three uniformed divisions of the
Knights of Pythias. These three divis
ions-Lincoln , Apollo and A. I ) . Mar-
ehnll are the pride of the capital city in
all public demonstrations , and the
knights never presented a butter appear
ance. One hundred and lifty men in full
uniform comprised the three divisions.
The lire department , with engines and
hose carts gaily decorated , formed ono
of the attractive features in the parade ,
nnd a largo number of citizens m car
nages formed the roar guard in the
marching column. The lRi8 of march
was along the principal business streets ,
and it continued without interruption
until on the north side of the govern
ment square , when a lire alarm caused
the hoho carts to leave the line like a
uhot and make for the scene of tlio
ilamos. The procession , after the mo-
Tnentary interruption , continued to tlio
university campus , whore the exercises
were hold.
After the parade the high wind
rendered it impossible to hold tlio exer
cises in the open air , as was contemplated ,
nnd the opera house was at once secured.
It did not take ten minutes from the
opening of the door. " to pack the house to
us greatest capacity , and all were the
most attentive ot listeners. Chancellor
Manatt presided , tlio Cadet band fur-
aishcd music and Mrs. E. M. J. Cooley
jroad a poem to the unknown dead
iliat was greatly appreciated. Sen-
itor Mandei > on , the orator of the
" Aiy , was then introduced and his greet
ing was of the most cosdinl character.
The oration was ono of the senator's best
stlbrts and was replete with eloquence
and the memories of the days when the
battles aud the dead were daily realities
and not memories. At the close of the
exercises at the opera house tlio old sol
diers hold an informal reunion with the
senator , nnd the public expression on
ivory hand was that never befoto had
iecoration day boon more littingly cele
brated in Lincoln.
The ( ire that called the department
from the line of march was in the south-
Sru limits of the city , beyond the service
of the water mains. A new residence ,
the property of Mr. Penn , was burned to
the ground and the entire contents Hint ,
owing to the house being new , had been
moved there only a few days. The loss
of the house was some $1,500 and the loss
of furniture greater than that amount ,
with only n very light insurance on the
latter.

CHINA'S ROYAL HAREM.
Bhiunc Crowned With Distinction and
Vice a lload to Honor ,
The p rutty daughters of all Manchu
families in high rank have bncn in a Hur
ried state of mind for several days past.
In tlm first place none of the daughters of
these families are permitted to nmrrv for
at least a year before a wife is chosen for
tlio emperor of China. During the spring
months of last year Manchu papas of im
portance having daughters between the
ages of twelve and eighteen were re
quired to take them to Pckin , where they
passed under the eyes of the dignitaries
whose duty it was to select an empress
for the j'oung sovereign. It is necessary
that the candidates for this distinguished
place in the great palace be Manchus , in
order to pronorvo the racial purity of the
imperial line. China's ruling family , for
more than two centuries , have not been
Chinese , but Manchurians. They are
interlopers at Pokiu , but they are well
settled there , and have moved into the
imperial palace to stay. Many of these
interesting damsels had to make a long
and arduous journey in order to pass
under the critical guxo of the officials.
They spent many hot days on dusty
roads and stretched their weary limbs at
night on the couches of the dismal way
side inns , and after all they had only ono
chance in hundreds of becoming an em
press. There was this consolation , how
ever , that if they missed the capital
pri/.o they might be chosen to fill .some
less dnz/.ling place at court , and at any
rate they could go ; homo perhaps wiser
girls and get married as soon as the ne
cessary nrrnngemnnta could bo made.
No reporters were present to describe
the happy event last summer that fol
lowed the choosing of a bride. It is a
very solemn tiling to gaze upon the
emperor even months before ho assumes
the reins of government , and so nobody
outside of a limited ollichil circle saw the
ceremony that made a very beautiful
girl , named Tao-Tai , the empress of
China.
Less than three moalhs ago this seven
teen year old emperor formally assumed
the reigns of government. Hcforo and
since that event , according to all reports ,
nil the eligible Manchu maidens have
beer in a tluttor over the choosing of the
female members of the court. The
emperor is , by law , entitled to seven
concubines , and ho may till his harem
with any number of "illegal" concubines.
No degradation attaches to tins relation
in the imperial palace. Indeed ,
it is a place to which any Manchu lady
of the requisite rank is proud to aspire
If an inmate of the harem she may be
come the mother of an emperor , ns the
throne doesn't descend to any particular
son of the ruler , but it is his custom to
name as his successor any male member
of his family of n younger generation
than himself whom ho wishes to leave as
his heir. There are other possible results
of life in the imperial harem thst induce
ambitions young women to regard ad
mittance to its exclusive circles as highly
desirable. When any of the illegal con
cubines give birth to n sou her status i
legitimati/.od nnd HIO becomes n
"princess of the blood" nnd n sharer
thereafter in the fortunes of her boy , who ,
if ho does not become an emperor , has
exceptional opportunities for a brilliant
career.
All the young ladies who do not present
the emperor with a sou or daughter by
the time they are twenty-iivn
years old nre returned to
the homes of their parents. No stain
attaches to their characters. In fact they
are regarded ns persons of distinction
and they are eagerly sought in mnrnaco
by gentleman of their own rank. Of
course , they were nil beautiful women ,
for no othorn are admitted to the empe
ror's seraglio. Every three years the
harem is in this sense weeded out , nnd
then opportunity is alYored for other
tender maidens in their teens to undergo
the ordeal of the competitive examina
tion which appears to bo ns prominent a
feature of tlio love a flairs of his majcstv
as of the Chinese civil service. Indeed ,
the manner of filling nnd managing the
imperial harem has changed very little
Hinco the time ever 000 years ago , when
Marco Polo wrote his graphic description
of the domestic Ufa of Kublai Khan , tin )
great mogul emperor , who magnificently
adorned the very grounds in IVkin where
the present emperor rosldOH. Polo's fig
ures were rather tall , but the number of
court attaches probably exceeded that of
to-day , though Kwanh Su has an army
of 5,000 eunuchs now within his palace
walls.
Marco Polo wrote that Kublai Khan
had four legitimate consorts and each
omwe > 3 had not less than 10,000 persons
attached to her court. Every year 100 of
the most beautiful maidens who could bo
found were brought from far nnd near
to the palace and a committee of elderly
ladles parsed judgment upon them.
Those who were of approved beauty ,
good nnd sound in all respects , were ap
pointed to wait upon the emperor by
sixi.'s , each squad of beauties serving
three days , when it was relieved by an
other detachment.

MR , KEEIA S EXPERIMENTS.
The Inventor Astonishes a Few
Visitors.
I AM MASTER OF THE SITUATION
He Declares That There arc No Fur
ther Obstacles to Overcome
Preparing For a
Itun.
Philadelphia Record ; "I am master o
the situation , There are no further ob
stacles to be overcome , " Inventor John
W. Kcoly proudly told a small party of
astonished spectators who yesterday
morning witnessed an exhibition of re
sults accomplished by what ho calls his
ethcric force. Those who congratulated
him upon this consummation , so de
voutly wished for by the stockholders ,
were Drs. George Strawbridgo and I ) . F.
Woods , Samuel R. Lmvillo , the well
known engineer aud electrician ; Charles
13. Collier , Mr. Keely's private counsel ,
und three newspaper men.
The exhibition , which was pronounced
the most ( successful ever given by tlio in
ventor , was held mostly in the second
story of the workshop at No. H'2 North
Twentieth street , now transformed from
its former dingy estate into a most com
fortable and attractive series of small
rooms. The peculiar interest attaching
lo it was thai in all the tests except that
of liring off the cannon , the mysterious
power was transmitted from tlio libera
tor and receiver to the scone nf its mani
festation through a wire of silver and
platinum , instead of through n hol
low tube , as heretofore. The src-
complishmcnt of this feat the
friends _ of tlio inventor consider the most
conclusive answer to tlio oft-repented
charge that compressed air is the motive
power used by the inventor. Mr. Keely
used n liberator more indescribable ,
though smaller , than any that hayo pre
ceded it , and made of bewildering sets of
reasonators arranged in octaves. Essen
tial portions of it appeared to bo a bel
lows worked by foot , aud n machine
made to revolve by air forced from the
bellows , which tiie inventor called a
"siren. "
After the liberator had boon attuned
and all the parts brought into a sympa
thetic vibration the familiar test WHS per
formed of raising the long arm of a
lover weighted with u 550 pound weight ,
making the pressure exerted equal to
about -'j.OOO pounds to the square inch.
Mr. Keely said that if ho wished he could
generate in two seconds a pressure of
150,000 pounds to the square inch. The
little cannon which has for years kept
up a remitting bombardment of an
iron target in the roar of tlio workshop
was next brought into requisition , it
has been gilded since former exhibitions ,
to bo in keeping with its improved sur-
roundiiius , nnd at first appeared some
what rusty from disuse. It was quickly
brought into shape , however , and sent
three bullets with all its old-time energy
against the target , flattening them out
like pancakes.
When asked why there was no recoil
after a powerful discharge , the cannon
standing absolutely motionless , Mr.
Keely explained that tlio positive and
negative vibrations neutralized each
other and kept the piceo stationary , llo
could lire a twenty-ton gun , ho said ,
without recoil.
FINDING SVMl'ATAnriC CHOKDS. '
In the experiments which followed the
inventor declared his purpose to bo to
lind the individual sympathetic chord of
several of those present. This he ac
complished with the liberator , to which
was attached n silver and platinum wire
onndgiin n stout piece of stqcl held by
the person undeigoing examination. Mr.
Linville's chord was declared to bo A
natural m the third octave , 120-1000
negative below. Nobody under-
flood what this meant , but Mr.
Keely wrote it down on a piece of
paper , anil then ascertained the chords
of Dr. Strawbridgo , Mr. Collier and Mr.
"larding , of the Now York Herald. The
wo former gentlemen were found to bo
A. natural and U Hat respectively in the
lifth octave , while Mr. Collier was
pleased to hear that he was G sharp in
the sixth octavo.
This was all very mysterious , but paled
ts ineffectual fires before , the e\'ierinients
which followed , and which were quito in
comprehensible and equally indescrib
able. An iron ring , to which was fas
tened a copper tube in which Mr. Kooly
said there was an ethcric prcsiiiro of
ii.OOO pounds to the square inch , was
placed on the lloor , and inside of this
stood in succession the gentlemen whose
sympathetic chords had been ascertained.
In one corner of the room was placed
a small copper sphere , com
pletely isolated by having thick plates
of glass placed beneath it and around it.
Running nearly up to it was nn iron rod
connected by wire with a piece of steel ,
which the gentlemen hold in their hands.
Going into an adjoining room Mr. Kooly
sot the liberator in activity , played softly
upon n harmonica , nnd the globe began
to revolve. "Homo , Sweet Home , " with
variations , seemed to have n particu
larly exhilarating nnd enlivening effect
upon the little sphere , which fairly
bu/.zed as the inventor drew his lips
across the instrument and blew out tlio
pleasing melody.
This experiment was repeated success
fully with an engine twenty-seven inches
in diameter , und then with both the en-
cine and sphere simultaneously. As the
volume of sound from the harmonica in
creased or decreased , the two would revolve -
volvo tocothor , or one would stoi | and lot
the other continue its merry journey.
With this curious performance the exhi
bition closed.
Mr. Kcoly received congratulations
upon its success modestly , and said that
in n low days he would start up his engine
for n ten days' run without intermission.
It has already run for thirty-eight hours ,
Siiioothly and at uniform .speed. Mr.
Keely also said that ho was at work upon
n telephone , of which ho expected great
results.

A CROOK TALKS.
His Account of n PairnfNIcc , Gontlo-
tunnly Transactions.
1 was talking with an old-time crook
the other day about mailers in general ,
and after ho hud warmed up to the sub
ject he said :
"No , times are not what they used to
bo , and the profession of crook will soon
bo a thing of the past. Hunks , ollices and
other moneyed places are so well guarded
and fie many people are on to every
game and racket that there nre no longer
any gentlemen crooks. A man must bo
cither a common thief or go out of the
business. Like others. 1 have handled a
great deal of money which did not lo
cally belong to me , and in my palmy
days I was in on some of the slickest
work Aver done by bad men. I noTcr
trained witii plugs. What I couldn't get
without robbing churches , frightening
women , or using the bludgeon behind a
man's back I lot alone. "
"Did you ever do any bank work ! "
"Loin of it. That was my lay on the
start and thi < y ued to say I hadn't a
rival in the business. There have never
been idncc ray time over half a doznn
men In thu counlry who had the nerve
to 'touch * a hank. You have got to be
horn with it. Uutildc ot the nerve , you
tnust btt'of good , address and something
of an nctor. There arc tight pinches in
which only good acting will carry jou
through. My tir.st job whs perhaps the
easiest I ever lind. "That was nearly
thirty years ago , and before bank of
ficials were su plcousiof ! everybody , and
before the detective bu"ines and become
a profe.ssion and an art. My work was
laid out for mo in Indianapolis , and MO
had plenty of funds and lots of time to
develop ft. Right beside a bank was a
hat and cap store , and wo bought the
stock for if TOO and two of us entered into
business. We advertised largely , paid
every bill promptly , and when we opened
an account at the bank were cordially
received. A partner in .Now York soon
began sending us sight drafts which were
all U. K. , and 1 took them into the bank
and had no trouble , after the lirst one or
two , in getting the cash. A notice some
how got into the papers that wo were
soon to build a big stern and add various
lines of goods , and wo presently found
ourselves looked upon as At among bus
iness men
"No doubt wo could have sprung Iho
trap sooner than wo did , but
my policj always was to go slow nnd
sure. As fast ns wo got the cash on a
draft we sent it back to eomo again , and
they crept up in value from sflfK ) 102,000.
This hail consumed weeks , but just pre
vious to the arrival of this draft a notice
appeared m the papers that wo had bought
a site and an architect was preparing
plans for a $20,000 building. A week-
later we were quito ready. One day at
11 o'clock 1 put on my hat and walked
into the bank with a forged draft for
? 12S80.20. , The cashier didn't hesitate
ten seconds over it. Had I been n stran
ger he probably would not have paid it ,
but 1 stood there and whistled and
drummed on the counter while ho
counted out the money. 1 was going
away when he called mo back. My
heart gave ono great throb and then
seomcdto bland still , for I fully believed
he had detected something wrong. In
the ono or two seconds given me , I de
termined to ask him to retain the money
on deposit until ho heard from the draft ,
but , as I turned about ho smiled and in
quired if our linn could not take on a
friend of his when we got into new quar
ters. 1 replied in the iillirmativi1 , and
walked out with the money in my hand.
Half an hour later my partner ami
I were leaving the city on a train , having
left the hat store in charge of n boy , and
neither of IKS have ever ventured back.
The forgery came to light only when it
was known that wo had skipped , but I
think the bank kept still about it. It
was now institution , and felt afraid of
having it known it had be n beaten.
There were three of us in the job , and wo
made over $3,000 in nine weeks' time.
Some have got rich faster , but I was
never avaricious.
"Another very fair job was drawn off
Dayton , O. , a couple of years later , but
it was ono in which I did not take such a
deep satisfaction. When you beat n
sharp man , there is something to rejoice
over. You have but your wits against
his and come out ahead. In this case
the cashier was a squirt of n fellow , about
twcutv-threo years of age. The cashier's
den was not railed off und caged up in
those days as now , and-they were not .so
careful of their piles of money. This
chap seemed proud tojpilo up the bills
and coin around himTaiid the moment
1 got a loolc at things 1 knew that he was
our game. The only mah to bo afraid of
was the bookkeeper. 'He yas a bald-
header old fellow of forty-live , had Ins
place hext to the cashier , and what he
didn't see and hear was not worth atten
tion , Tlio manager nnd the collector
were in the bank much of tlio time , but
at 'J o'clock always went out somewhere ,
and were gonu a ful { half hour. This
left onjy the cashier anil bookkeeper to
deal with.
"There were two of us in the job , and
after we had piped off the bank until we
knew it , 1 entered the place ono morning
and nsked to see llu > manager. 1 was me
agent of a now Chicago clock company
for the manufacture of bank , office , and
railroad clocks , and as an advertisement
for our concern would put up n timepiece
on the wall nnd let it remain a year free
gratis. The clock then on hand was n
cheap affair , and the manager jumped at
my offer. 1 selected the place for it and
told him it should be hung up during the
afternoon.
"We had piped tlio old bald head ofl
several days before , and know just how
wo were going to manage him. Ho lived
at least n milo away , and just after two
o'clock , when the two men were left
nlono in the bank , a boy came in with a
note telling him that his wife had re
ceived n serious fall. Ho clapped on his
lat ami started for homo , just as we had
planned , and I entered the place in com-
iwiiy with my partner. Ho had a clock
on lils arm which had cost us s80. The
opinion of the smart cashier was
nskod on various details , and
lie came out in front of
: ho counter to give orders about
where thu clock should bo put up , While
lie was dancing around some evil-minded
person put $ ! t,000 in gold and bills into
an old satchel and then stood around
until the clock was up. The reason ho
didn't clean out the bank was because
two or three outsiders dropped in to see
the clock. \ \ hen we went out it was to get
into a hired buggy and drive away , and
a few hours later we were bucking the
tiger in Cincinnati. I always felt a little
mean over that job. You seo.the cashier
was a young squirt who couldn't have
held his own with a common thief , and
it was no credit for ns to beat him. That
wasn't the last time I saw him , however.
Four years later , while I was taking a
vacation at Joliet for carrying off some
diamonds belonging to a Chicago parly ,
they put a now man at work beside me one
day. Ho was a puzzle to mo for a while ,
but by and by 1 located him as the cash
ier of tlio Dayton bank. Ho had secured
n place in Ctucago as confidential clerk
to a nianufacturinz concern , and hail
gone the way of many others and got
into the clutches of the law. When 1
told him who I was ho had nothing but
praise for the clock trick , saying that ho
did not miss the money until the bank
closed for the day.

HEARTLESS CKUELTY
t isto delink- poor sufferer into the bclte
that some worthless liniment will cure
ihcttmatism and neuralgia. Honesty is the
best policy in the manufacture of proprie
tary articles as in nil other matters , and the
fact that the pioprietors of Athlophoros
have never claimed for it even all its mer
its would warrant has not a little to do
with its wonderful popularity , and the
thousands ol grateful testimonials received
by them show that their policy has been
wise as well as right.
Experience has amply demonstrated that
more oulwntd applications are worthless.
The disease has its scat in the blood and
any remedy to be successful must deal
wfth the obstructive acid which poison and
inflames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood , muscles
and joints directly , It " takes the poison out
of the blood and carries" it out of the sys
tem ; it Invigorates the action of the muscles
and limbers the stiffness of the joints , It
teaches the liver and kidneys , cleansing
them from irritating substances , aud if fol
lowed up niter the ihcumattc conditions
cease , it will restore these organs to regu-

About twenty roars ago I discovered a Bttlo
eoro oa my chock , and the doctors pronounced
It cancer , t liaro tried a number of rbyelclanj ,
but without reoclTlng any permanent benefit.
Among the number were one or two epeclallats.
The modlcLno they applied waa like Uro to the
sore , causing Intcnoo pain. I saw o statement
In tbo pa pen UUIn ; what S. S. 8. had done for
other * similarly afflicted. I procured some at
onco. Hcforo I had uwd the second bottle the
neighbors could notice that my cancer vraj

for two or three j-eiri-Ilicd a hacking cough
and spit blood continually. I bad a severe
pain In my breast. After taking sU bottles of
S. S. R. my cough left mo and I grcvr stonter
