1 . BHIBIT ITKMS.
Messrs. Ben U. Rhodes and Cad 1 C
I'ncc , the rustling town lot auctioneers ,
returned yesterday from conducting their
second , auction sale of lota m Kournny.
The auction was in ovury way a success.
A number of Lincoln pc-oplo accom
panied Messrs. Rhodes and 1'aco to Kcrxr-
tiny , nnd the entire number were guests
of Mr. Albright and hla party of Omaha
people on their return from Kearney to
Omaha over the Union 1'acltic , To say
that they appreciated the latter Is but expressing -
pressing thn undivided opinion of thn
Lincoln men.
Walt Mason , the versatile genius who
hon been writing SOUKS in prose for the
Atchlson Globe has become one of tlio
tellers In Holds journalistic ut Lincoln ,
nnd will be at the head of thn "Topics of
the Times" column of thn Journal.
The Lincoln base ball club was received
with open arms on their return yesterday
from their southern trip. They had thn
coed record cu the last vieit south of
winning nine out of twelve of the games
played and reducing materially the lead
that the Topokus liavo for the pennant.
J. W. Dowceso was arrested Friday. It
was for no very serious ofl'enso but his
sidewalk was not in position and block
adedwherefore the city lined him $1 and
ho agreed to make straight his paths.
George Smith and William Brooks
were the entire grist at police court yes
terday and their ollbnse was the old one
of getting drunk. Ono of them , when
arrested , was so helpless that ho had to
bo wheeled to jail. The judge fined them
W each and costs , and they were com
'
mitted.
IMPORTANT CASE.
Ilnllroftd Discrimination Brought tea
a Lively Test.
Ell Plummet1 , Uoscoo A. Perry and
John Fitzgerald compose the firm of
Perry , Pluinnicr & Co. , wholesale gro
cers , of Lincoln. Yesturday they com
menced a unit ngainst the United Pucilic
railroad company. The cause of notion
nrisc.i from a claim thtttthe said railroad
dtacflminfltus nguinst Lincoln In favor of
Omaha. The special allocations are , ac
cording to the bill of particulars , that the
United Piicitic hits tixcd a schedule-
rates In Omaha for the purpose of hauling -
ing goods through nnd than robilllng to
the interior towns of the state , thus get
ting tlio bunutit of the clutrgu for local
rates. That on the twenty-fourth und
twontv-tlfth of Juno thu American sugar
refining company , of San Francisco ,
California , consigned to Plumtner , Perry
& Co. , of Lincoln , 000 barrels
of sugar. That it cnmo through all
rlaht and that the railroad company
rofusud to switch it at Valley and
send it to Lincoln , only twenty-three
miles away , but brought it to Omaha and
than re billed to Lincoln. Thu rate to
Omaha was 00 cunts a hundred pounds
and the company demanded 15 cents
nioro , or 75 cents at Lincoln. That the
ilrm paid $083 0V under protest. That
the service was like nnd contempor
aneous , the ( Uffbronca of twenty-three
miles in distance not making the circum
stances dillcruut or dissimilar. That tlio
road was in a combination and wasgullty
of unjust discrimination against thu
plaintitr and Lincoln. Also that the com
pany is guilty of charging and receiving
unreasonable , excessive nnd extortionate
charges for transportation , guilty of
causing an interruption and stoppage of
property to prevent it being treated as a
continuous carriage , nnd guilty of enter
ing into a combination to avoid , evade
nnd violata the act of congress to regu
late commerce.
Tbo damages claimed nro $500.
POLICK"UOUIIT.
Judge Berka'a Business Yeatenlay
Afternoon.
Business about the police court yester
day afternoon was light the lightest
afternoon for many u day. Anlon Am-
crsou/wns up on a charge of sleeping on
the sidewalk. Around the upper part of
his arm was an arm-bolt In which was
secured $35 and $00 in money , and a
watch and chain was found on his per
son. Ho was lined $5 and costs. Wil
liam Uittler had been found noisy drunk.
As ho is'a hard working man with an
appetite for drink und had u job on the
grade south of town , ho was told to < ic-
part , which. Iw quickly did. William
W > tl e , a rod-faced Individual , was
told to go and sin no more , but ho under
took to give the judgea piece of his
mind as ho started for the wicket door.
Uo was stopped by Whalen , brought up
again and lined $ r and costs tor
his funny business William Uittlor was
helplessly drunk , but as ho is a hard
working individual and it was his lirst
offenseThe was allowed to dupart.
A complaint was made by J. II. Fuller
against John Swabo for striking a boy.
Swabo was allowed to dupart on his own
recognizance and the trial was sot for
next Tuesday afturuoon.
A number of thu newly appointed police
officers were sworn in by Judge lierka.
Dlitrict Court.
Mmnio llorrloy has commenced suit
ngain t her husband , Frederick llorrloy.
for divorce. In the bill of complaint she
tells of the cruel and inhuman treatment
she and her infant child received at his
hands , among which are some most re
volting charges , and how , finally , when
her child was hick unto death , both
mother and child were driven from
homo.
A very "notable" case commenced in
this court yestrrday was that of John Kccd
vs. Josoban L. Uice and H. E. Weaver.
The action is based on twenty-two notes
each for $50 and all dated November 3 ,
1881 , and the date of payment was Octo
ber 3 , 18 $ } . The only payment alleged
to have been paid was on the tirst note ,
which occurred October 18,1848 , and the
amount handed over was $57.53 ,
part principal and interest from
the date the note was made. Ilonco on
this lirst paper the sum of $3. ° 0 with inter
0 est from October 18 , 1883 , is claimed. As
alleged none of the other notes have been
paid and the total amount claimed is
$1,050 , with Interest at 10 per cent from
0 October 1883.
„ SOB WANTM $10.000.

Ella Morgan 8ue Henry Grnsi For
Malicious Prosecution.
Miss Ella Morgan , who recently had
so much trouble with the lovelorn
widower. Henry Gross , who caused her
jrm
arrest and detention In the police station
for two days , has commenced suit against
him for $10,000 , for malicious and un
! warranted prosecution. The ease will
! como up before the courts of ( irucloy
couutv. of which Gross U a resident. lo
is worth $45,000 , but before ho will re
Ella any of it ho will spend a goodly in
inat
in lighting her. As It is understood that
. her lawyers are to receive the greater
part of the amount that shou Id be allowed
: for damages , it is presumable that she is
actuated more by retaliatory than mer
- cenary motives.

KEARNEY FOR THIRD PLACE.
Omaha Capitalists Visit Kearney and

Safely Homo Again.
In answer to an invitation from W. G.
Albright , a score of Omaha capitalists ,
stepped aboard the Pullman car , Ormus ,
last Thursday evening and sailed forth
to buy real estate , It possible , in Kear
ney , Nub. The car , which by tlio way is
ono of the linost thn company turns out ,
was chartered by Mr , Albright for the
round trip , and as the car arrived In this
city yesterday morning with most of the
gentlemen on board , ills safe to presume
that It accomplished its purpose.
Mr. Albright had promised some few
days beforoao manage the auction snle
it Kearney , which took place Friday nf-
crnoon , and as subsequent events will
) rovo. ho was just the man to carry out
he salo. As he had never been to Kcar-
icy , ho naturally felt like going pro-
ected , and the way his friends came to
ils rcscuo , was a caution. None who
were invited , refused to go , for I hey knew
hat Mr. Albright would see that their
rip would bo both pleasant and remuner
ative. To say that his guests were
entertained rovally is putting it very
mild. In fact every gentleman who hail
the good fortune to bo on Mr. Albright' *
oar , not only expressed himself a * well
i > lcascd , but also surprised to lind that so
mich real generous hospitality could bo
ounil in any ono man. Not but that
.hoy all knew him to bo generous to a
limit , but in this Instance lie surpassed
ilmself , nnd those who formed his party
were hearty in their thanks for thu splen
did trip which ho afforded thum. A- * the
palace cur did not pull out of Omaha
until 8:20 : p. m. , the outside of the car
lid not show up to any great advantage ,
jut inside nil was as it should be. As
boforn stated thu object of the excursion
wns to attend the sale of an addition to
the city of Kuarnoy , owned by Messrs.
Munroo , Wiley and Uolton.
Upon their arrival at Kearney the ex
cursionists were welcomed by thu loading
citizens and aftnr breakfast thu uutire
party accepted an invitation for u drive
about thu city. They started hi a north
easterly direction , and viewed the addi
tion to be sold. The drive was then extended
tended out onto the hills and over to the
lake which is fed by a canal. It was
about four years ago when thn projnct
was tirst started to build this canal , which
commences at n point on the Plutte ,
seventeen miles west arid ends amonc
the hills which now form the banks ol
the lake at Kearney. The object was to
secure water power. The enterprise has
been successfully carried out largely
through thn efforts of Colonel George w.
Frank , who is a largo property owner In
Kearney.
It was ten o'clock in the forenoon be
fore the party again returned to the city
Then after a pleasant chat with some of
the leading business men , the excursion
ista partook of a noarty dinner , made al
the more apoti/.lng on account o :
the invigorating atmosphere dur
ing the ride. Shortly after
dinner thdy were given a very line
concert by the uniformed brass band
consisting of fifteen bright and intclli
gunt looking boys from the state Indus
trial sohoolT who then led the procession
of carriages out to thu grounds to bo sold
After some more music by tbo band am
a long speech from the auctioneer , tli
sale commenced.
The bidding wns quito lively and several
oral Omaha gentlemen invested , among
others Mr. Albright , who pnrchasct
twenty-one lots , lie was not intcrcstcc
directly or indirectly in the sale of the
addition , further than that Iho 'totail" jjj
the sale of the addition -Cf0 under his
direct sutj tviHiou and he made his in
vestments from a purely business stand
point. Mr. Albright's principal com
petitor for these lots was Mrs , Bickncll ,
a highly respectable lady and wife of the
B. & M. agent at Kearney , who dis
played remarkably good judgment and
nerve in her purchases , thus showing
her unbounded confidence in the future
of her city. The entire addition , was sold
mono hour and foity miuutes , bringing
fair prices.
The Omahans were then driven back
to iho city and were most hospitably en
tertained during the remainder of their
stay by Messrs. Monroe , Wiley , Italian
and their friends. During the visit at
Kearney , a representative of the UKI : had
the pleasure of meeting the lion. C. I ) .
Finch , the mayor , and president of the
board of trade , and Secretary K. O.
Holmes of the board of trade , both of
whom seemed to be well adapted to look
after the welfare of the city.
Kearney is beautifully situated midway
between Denver and Omaha , and those
who have been to Denver cannot help but
seu the resemblance that Kearney boars
the Colorado metropolis. The view from
the bills stretches away uj > and down
thu Plattu , which somewhat resem
bles a shining , silver snnko
on a largo sca'o ' crawling
through the country. Look in any ui-
rection from the hill tops about Kearney
and the view is unsurpassed anywhere.
It has throe good schools , churches , and
two trunk line railroads , and any num
ber of llrst-class men who can make u
great place of Kearney if they will.
On the return trip Mr. Albright was
asked his opinion of Kearney oy his
friends in the palace car , and after
speaking m the highest possible terms of
praise of its wide streets , its magnilicent
drives , the productive country surround
ing it , its railroad facilities , the canal
anil water power , the substantial build
ings , thn beautiful scenery , and evi
dence of wealth on every hand , ho said :
"As Is generally the case in cities nnd
towns before they have experienced u
real , genuine boom , it scemn that every
man in Kearney has tin axe to grind.
The sooner they drop those petty inter
ests and eyory man puts his
shoulder to the wheel and all
push together the sooner will
Kearney bring itself to the rank of third
city of this state. No ono man in Kear
ney can make or break the place. But
If thcgb Individual interests will unite and
pull together for the good of the city ,
those who are now figuring what their
acres would bring if laid out in
city lots will soon have their1 fondest
hopes realized. Some very liberal In
ducements must be oU'ered to outside
capital , and homo capital must lend a
helping band. The mere fact of putting
white stakes In a cornfield docs not
make the lots valuable. "
The members of the Omaha parly arose
so enthusiastic in their praise of the
princely manner in which they were en
tertained by the Kearney people nnd
especially bv Mr. Albright and the many
pleasures incident to the trip that Kear
ney and Albright is about all they will
talk about for a week.
A Change of Daae.
A. E. Marriott , who was for a long
time night clerk at the Millard and more
recently steward of the same hostelry ,
has resigned to take effect August 15.
Mr. Marriott will take charge of the
restaurant of ( he Barker hotel.

David WnlUcor < let * Thereon Simply ,
ttllcklji anil Solidly.
Seven monfhs ngo David \Vallnco , n
sturdy ' son of Limerick , came to this
country and cWuco located him In San
Diego , Cal. There oauio a man 111 town
one , day looking for some ono to attend
the 1 dam at the Situ Diego lltiino some
forty miles away. David was introduced
tc him and an engagement was made at
once. The criiploycr was James Kobin-
son < and It seems that his employe pleased'
him because mot'o ' and more responsible
positions were given and wages corre
spondingly increased. David Wal
lace earned his monthly stipend
by good , honest labor. and
at the end of each thirty days there was
money Rent to Limerick , Ireland , payable
to Margaret Wallace , a wife who had
most roluctantlj agreed to her husband's
trip to the "new world , " Last week
David thought ho would astonish the
folks at home by personal appearance ,
and accordingly ho procured a railway
ticket to New York and an ocean passage
to Qucenstown. Shortly .after leaving
"Frisco" he met a "friend. " Ho was a
friend indeed , and to the open hearted
Limerick man ho was a friend sure
enough. The latter was going to the
same city in Ireland as Wallace In
fact should ho not reached his destina
tion ho wisheu his mother , "Mrs. Lam
bert. No. 28 , Queen street Limcrick , " to
know that ho had made a grnud effort to
scale the llocky Mountains and slide
along the plains and burrow among the
sands , and cbassco through Iho chaop.v
rnl and cot pricked by tlio cacti and dine
on alkali conktails all for the sake of his
mother. David Wallace took all this in
and at the same time the stranger was
taking him in. The latter had nomonov ,
but would have when ho got to Chicago.
A very foolish assertion , since it is said
no ono has money in Chicago since the
"boodlers" left. At any rate , when the
party arrived hero tlio stranger happened
to tliink his trunk hud been exprussed to
Omaha and he neednd $10 to got it out of
the iron claws of the company. David
immediately loaned the X. He saw it
nnd the recipient no more forever , nnd
became n wanderer in a strange lt nd
with a ticket to New York and across the
big lake and not ono cent for tribute to
incidental expenses on the route. Some
kind friends helped him out of his dilli-
oulty , but It was noticeable that ward
politiciaus who would squander twice as
raueh as the amount required on ballot
boxes treated tlio unlilcity traveler with a
lauirh.
"What kind of a man was ho who got
your money ? How did ho look ? " nskod
a reporter. . . ,
"I-tilth , sir , ho was a foino looking
man. Ills hands wore as phite as a
mould candle and the jewelry he had
och mealia murtherl"
"Did ho treat you nicely on the way ? '
"Yes , and ho did. Slmro ho made mo
throw away my filings , put up at St.
Diugo , and go with him to the atiDg
places wo stopped at. "
"Who paid for all this ? "
"Shuro and Ijdid , but ho had no
change , and p iwat could I do with a man
who acted like a brother to mo ? "
This is David1 Wallace's experience
from Frisco , Snd ° there is only ono con
elusion to reach'and ' that is that David
is not a subsceiberto the daily or weekly
papers. ( i r

Xhey Refurnish Their Kttabllahment
oa Fifteenth Mtrcot Opposite
the Postolflco The Fin
est la the Land.
Mr. A. M. Akin , of the firm of Kdholm
t Akin , the well known wholesale and
retail jewelers and music dealers , re-
urned this week from an extended trip
n the cast.
Ills stay proves to have boon produc-
ivo of many Improved features in con-
lection with the business in which the firm
las become BO successful. In addition to
n large line of jewelry , watches and sil
verware in many and varied designs ,
low show cases and counters of the
atest make have been purchased. The
counters are finished In red wood and
ire of the latest designs , made by the
uost skilled workmen in the United
states. Each show ouso is ornamented
with a pain of gloss twenty-live feet in
ongth nnd of such strength that one
could dance a clog on t p of it with
out breaking through. It will probably
never bo used for that purpose , hownvor ,
'or ' boncath its clear surface Messrs. Ed-
helm & Akin will exhibit a line of jew
elry and silverware the like of which has
never been shown in the west. Air. Akin
has taken especial care in f > t > locting those
goods and each of the now cases will this
week show off their eil'eot to good ad
vantage.
Although the store and goods are the
linust In the west , it does not necessarily
follow that their prices are high , for
those who will take tlmo to BCD this line
exhibit will soon be convinced that they
can buy of Kdholm & Akin as cheaply us
any other stern In the city. The cases
contain line gold watches in nudloss va
riety , engraved and ornamented In all
the newest stylos. Among the watches
that will first catch the eye of the visitor
is the line of ladies' timepieces , promi
nent among which are those ornamented
with an anchor Inlaid with diamonds
mends , the llornl Inaf and a watch
with that rare article , a four-leaf clover ,
inlaid with diamonds , and which is sup
posed to bring great luck to the fortunate
possessor. Every kind of a time piece
will bo found huro for ladles or gentle
men , either In silver or gold , as well as
every kind of French and American
clocks. Next in order comus the elegant
line of emerald , diamond and engage
ment rings and bracelets , which can only
bo appreciated by being seen.
Edholm & Akln's linn of silverware is
the most complete of any house In the
country , 'jvcrythlng being In stock , from
a small cup for the baby to the lincst kind
of a tea dot. They make a specialty of
thn celebrated Towle solid silver , wnich
comes in designs far beyond anything
over before Miov/n in this city. Their
bronzes which they import direct from
Paris willblso bo on exhibition this week ,
and these alone will well repay a visit to
this handsome establishment.
Masonic , Knights of Pythias and other
lodge charms and jewels are made a
specialty , and they can furnish anything
in this line on short notice.
The engraving department in in charge
of competent workmen , who turn out aa
good work as can be found in the United
States. The best of diamond setters and
watch makers are always employed in
the repair department. The diamond
suiting being m charge of Mr. Andrew
Evcnson , a diamond wetter of twenty-
seven years experience ; the watch repair
department is under thq management of
Mr. C. A. Norberg , which fact alone is
guarantee enough of the very beat work.
This gentleman lia < ; bad thirty years ex
perience in his particular branch of the
business.
_ Tlia 21U3ical department of Messrs
Edholm & Akins' establishment is by no
means least because it is mentioned lost ,
for this branch is ono of thq few houses
in this city where musically inclined people
ple thoroughly enjoy themselves , as the
celebrated llehnlg and Decker pianos
with a full line of the latest sheet
music enables everyone to select accord
ing to their tastes.
Mr. N. J. Edholm , the senior member
of the llrm. has been in the jewelry busi
ness In Omaha for more than fifteen
years , and Mr. A , M. Akin , who. about a
year ago purchased a partnership , is an
Omaha boy who has lived hero ever since
he can remember. lioth members of the
llrm are practical and understand every
detail of tbo business. The Union Pacific
railway company have shown enough
confidence in them to appoint them as
inspectors of all the watelios of their em
ployes. The success which has attended
Edholm & Akin , since the change of
firm" year ago is very gratifying to
themselves , and has placed them in the
very front ranks as loaders in the jewelry
and imisic business.

[ Special Correspondence of the BEE. " |
Perhaps the most difllcuU part of writing
n letter is making the beginning , and as
I sit In the pleasant littio coflco-room of
n thoroughly old-fashioned Kiigllsh inn ,
"The Crown. " I am doubly impressed
with the Importance and iliniuulty of a
good beginning , partly because I want It
to bo interesting , nnd partly because I
have such a variety of starting points ,
However , this delightfully long English
twilight will not Inst forever , besides wo
must bo oft" for Oxford early in the morn
ing , ami myhasty conclusion is that It is
better to begin at the beginning. This
carries mo back through n period of
about two weeks , when on the fur-oft'
coast of New England in the miserably
slow coiiig town of Now London , crowds
and crowds of young men wore to bo
seen surging to and fro through the
crooked streets , some marching about
with the triumphant treail of victory ,
singine , cheering , or giving vent to their
inexpressible joy with lire-works and
cannon-crackers , others walking about
with long-drawn faccs-or sitting deject
edly in hotel corridors patiently waiting
for that "beastly slow train" or "old
hulk of a boat" which would take them
to New YorK , Boston , Philadelphia , any
place outside of New London or Now
Ilavon ana away from "these blasted ,
howling Vale men. " It is perhaps use
less for me to say that on that day had
been rowed the annual eight-oared boat
race between
llAHVAItl ) AND VAf.K ,
nnd that the latter had been Victoria us
Neither need I mention on which sliln of
the contest my sympathies lay , as 1 was
ono of the many ill-favored individuals
who were waiting for the sound steamer
to Now York. I had gone to Now Lon
don with the h'rm intention of boreing
the readers of the UF.K with n glowing
description of the race , the start , the fin
ish , the great observation train , the gaud
ily bedecked steamers and yachU , anil to
wind up with a vigorous throe times three
for the victorious crimson , But nol Fate
nnd the "Bob Cook stroke" willed it
otherwise. Let us pass the racot It is
unpleasant to talk of one's own funeral.
Perhaps 1 ought also to pass the trio
down to New York , but if any of your
readers have over gene over the same
course on a beautiful July evening under
a full moon they will certainly thank
me for reminding them of it. But the
romance of the thing soon faded away
when wo found that thn state rooms had
all been engaged nnd that rather than
sleep in the close and not always unin
habited berths , we were to pass the
night on the chairs or floor of the dining
saloon.
We got Into New York at 8 the next
morning , nnd a busy tlmo we had during
the next few hours. Wo were to sail for
Europe that same afternoon at i ) and had
endless littio traps to get together for the
voyage.
A summer's visit to Europe I hardly
know how to treat it. Much has been
written on the sumo old subjects , ant
then you often hear it remarked that
vuwx GOE ; 'rp EHftorE
_ _ „ .m fact ono is rather behind
the times who has not been there.
It is true that very many
of the well-to-do classes of
the east have been across the
water , but in the busy west the man who
has been to Europe is the exception.
Being from the west myself 1 send , as it
were , to my own neighbors , these hasty
and ill-constructed lines , in the hope
that they may not bo entirely unworthy
of perusal.
They will be lines not of deseription al
together , nor yet a rehash of guide
books or a formidable array of dry facts.
They will bo merely a story of the per
sonal experiences and impressions of a
couple of poor and untitled Americans
on a short vacation tour through the
most interesting parts of England and
the continent , with now and then a hint
which may bo of service to any ono who
contemplates making the same trip.
Necessities for the ocean voyage nat
urally como lirst.nnd of these good warm
clothing , a heavy winter overcoat , or a
steamer rug , which is merely a heavy
woolen blanket , and n steamer chair are
the most important. The tourists must
remember that oven in mid
summer the weather on the North
Atlantic is apt to be cold. I shall not de
scribe the start kisses , tears , handshak
ing , "good-byes , " "God bless you's , "
waving of Handkerchiefs the same old
story , then with a long blast of the whis
tle , the Cunard steamship Aurauia
backed majestically from the dock and
began another voyage across the treacherous
ous Atlantic. During the
KlOIir DAYS AT &L'A
wn had all kinds of weather and sea
warm , cold , rough , smooth. For two
days the weather was extremely warm ,
and our heavy wraps were n burden.
We could have lind no less breeze and no
more sultry air if wo had been going
wnst from Now York instead of oast.
! 3utou the morning of the third day there
was a change. There was a heavy swell ,
the wind had risen , and the heavy salt
Hpray washed ever the hurricane dock
with every ware. "This is the weather
for seasickness , " the doctor told me as I
name on decK , and I was not loug in
loarnitig the truth of his statement. But
I shall not dwell on the horrors
rors of seasickness. It is enough
to say that thcro is nothing
which will drive away the fears of ship
wreck HO quickly as a few hours of sea
sickness. Is even makes one feel as
though ho wore bravo enough to jump
overboard , or do anything to get away
from the horrible , sickening , unceasing ,
swell , up , down , up , down.
Fortunately it is all over in a couple of
days , or even soonnr , if ono does not give
up to it , and stays bravely on deck in the
fresh air. which is the best known rem
edy for the disease.
Our shin , the Auranla , is ono of the best
of probably the best and safest line , the
Cunard , which claims the record of never
having lost a life. Its galleys do not
serve up so many rare delicacies nor any
free wine , as is done on the French line ,
neither do commanders furnish the sweet
music of the North German Lloyd line ,
but the boats are largo and fast , their olli-
ccrs and stewards courteous and atten
tive , and elegance is everywhere hacri-
ticcd to safety , which , after all , is most
important.
Of the thousand persons on board , live
hundred were cabin passengers , and
A JOLLY CHOWII
they wore. Not altogether unheard of
crowd either. Wo had celebrities fiom
all the various walks of life , politics , re
ligion , linanco , the trades and profes
sions. IVrhaps the foremost man in this
littio group of well known men was Sen
ator Hawley , whoso sturdy form and
military moustaches were soon familiar
to all. The senator spout a great deal of
time on deck , sitting now and then In the
smoking room and looking over with a
knowing oye. at a littio game of draw
poker. The big Dutchman across the
table who made fun for the crowd and
wus always wanting "droo carts from de
op , " seemed to take the smintora ere.
Moin hcrr had 1 ( > U of trouble In getting
; ho right number of cards and frequently
nquired : "Vat you would do if I lot you
run > already,1' but Ins cash box told th
story of an experienced hand , Another
.
gun on board was John 11. Mnokuy , the
New York millionaire , who kept very
pilot and wasn't much scon by the other . -
msscngor.4. When ho did appear a low '
inirmur of "bonan/.a" followed in his
wako.
The very Nov. Prior Glyun was n giant
rcprc5'mtatlan of the priesthood , who l
irobably In a bettor statu of mind nnd
jody now than when 1 saw him rolling
ibutit among the ropes and cables of the
ipper deck.
The theatrical profession was well rep-
osented by Mr. W. T. Carleton and fain-
Iv , of the Carlotou opera company , and
tlr. George Thorno , who sang last season
n Hico's Evuugclliio company. The dug-
ng of these two artlits at the concert on.
board was enjoyable In the extreme.
This concert , with Senator Hawley , la
the chair , was ono of the events of the
voyage and a snug littio purse was raised
( o bo divided between thn "Liverpool
Sciuncns' , Orphango , " * and thn "Homo
fur Destitute Children"
at Staten bl
ind.
ind.Chester
Chester A. Arthur , son of the late ox-
president , and Hichard K. Fox , publisher
ind spotting man , are also familiar
names which appeared on our list of
cabin passengers.
Independence day was duly celebrated
on board. At breakfast , the rod , white
and blue was conspiclousin the costume *
of many fair "Aurnnians. " Patriotism
ran low during the day on account of the
sultry nirand rolling sua , but in the even
ing it burst forth in the shape ot lire-
Works , speeches nnd the singing ot
national songs" .
The sight of land was a great pleasure.
In spite of the pleasant romance and
novelty of an ocean voyage thorn Is much
that is disagrccablo. I'irst of all seasick
ness which nlono keeps many
people from crossing the water
and diminishes ocean travel , I am told ,
at least one-third. Then there Is u con
stant feeling of insecurity which i * no
slight matter with persons of a nervous
temperament especially on their tirst
voyage. On the morning of the eighth
day wo found everybody on dock gazing
with happy and nurious oyns on the rocky
coast of South Ireland. Wo stopped t
the beautiful harbor of Quoonstown
where all the malls and the passengers
booked for Ireland were taKen on shorn
in a tug. The green fields of the Emerald
l. lo made a ueatitlful picture through
the gray mist of the morn
ing nnd it was hard to
Imagine such a place the scone ot so
much misery and woo. During the day
wo steamed on up through St. George's
channel and into the Irish sea. In the
evening we could make out the wild
Welsh coast far to the right with the
hugn crest of Mt. Snowdon , the hlghrat
English mountain , towering Into the
clouds
Wo awoke the next morning to find
ourselves in Liverpoolwhence wo Imtno-
diately proceeded to Chester , the old
Roman town which will bo the subject of
my next letter FKANZ SEVRL.
A Ohnroh Unlit of Salmon noxes.
Portland Orcgoulon : Yesterday morn
ing , for the first time In the history of
ClTtton , Ore. , religious services were hold
there. Dr. T. L. Eliot , pastor of the Uni
tarian church , was visiting Messrs. J. W.
& V. Cook ; nnd they liastiiy built a
"meetin1 house. " It was in thn cannery
warehouse. A lot of empty salmon boxes
were nsed to make the four walls , open
ings being loft for a door in the roar and
windows at the sulo. In the front the
boxes were piled up so as to form a semi
circle , and directly in front of this the
pulpit was erected , also of salmon boxes.
Boxes likewise served as scats. Th 55
