[ KUOM THE HEE'3 LINCOLN BUIlF.AU.l At the mooting of the committee ap pointed to invite President Cleveland to visit Lincoln on his autumnal round-up tbo matter was placed in the hands of a Bub-committee of live to draft the reso lution of invitation in genuine Jcflerso- nlan simplicity. George William Curtis could not object to the civil service ap pearance of this sub-committee , and the mugwumps being in the majority , good Jesuits may be anticipated. The invita tion extended is as follows : , To the lion , ( irovcr Cleveland , President of the United States : In accordance with n resolution elution mlopted by the unanimous vote ot the city council of Lincoln , Nub. , on thu 1st in stant , HIM undersigned committee ( \nnolnted , appoint * * * ! in nccordnnre with the resolution and if | rcH'iitlni ? all political parties , busi ness ami professional Interests of the capital city o ( Nebraska , and we confidently atlirm the general and hearty sentiment of her people ple In thu premises : extend a most cordial In vitation to joiirse.lt and Airs. Cleveland to Include Lincoln In the lists ot visits which , \ve are Informed , you expect to make the various western cities during the coming fall. Wu are pleased to assure you that our citizens will icgard your accep tance of their Invitation us a very great honor and source of pleasure to themselves and will spare no pains to make your visit Interesting to the utmost. Inasmuch as wu believe that your already projected visits will not take you beyond the Missouri river , wo beg leave to suggest as an Important consid eration that the city ot Lincoln and country Din-rounding are fairly within and represen tative of , the great trans-Missouri region which In half the span of a generation has redeemed Its iniiim and fame as a great desert , with those of a great garden of Ines timable resources and already the acknow ledged centre of pioductlon for the country's three greatest agricultural staples. Tlio wide extent and unsurpassable richness of this section of the great republic , the proud monument of the greatness and foresight of that patriotic father , who negotiated Its cession , and the character , enterprise and courage of Its citi zens are comprehended and Illustrated In our city , willed hopes that Its celebration of the twentieth year of Its life and growth. In that time from an uninhabited prairie to twice ' . 0,000 people , to the habit of biennially multiplying Its population by two , and into a great railroad commercial and educational centre , may bo distinguished by a visit from the president of the United States. We feel justified In assuming that U would i bo both pleasing and profitable for the chlel executlvo to witness for himself the hall that cannot be told , the extent , resources and phenomenal development of this new found natint of our country , suggesting that to do this would Involve but a slight deviation from the route you have already marked out for a western trip. With great re f > t > cctvo await a favorable response. ALIIKHTVATKINS , Chairinan.il HKPLKVIN CASK * CONTINUE. The Lincoln wholesalers nro contin uing their policy against exhorbitant freight rates on California shipments , ' and' the railroads will got enough of il before they are through with it. In ad dition to numerous cars of goods re- plerined heretofore by Raymond Bros. & Co. , and H. P. Law , the firm of Plum- mer , Perry & Co. , have taken the re plevin business in hand and have raplovined three curs of sugar and canned goods recently shipped them from California. The charges on these goods are $1.45 per hundred to Lincoln while on the same class of goods the rate to Omaha and likewise to Chicago , is but 75conts. Such an extortionate over charge to Lincoln , that is equally distant with Omaha from the Pucihu coast , the wholesalers consider a direct violation ol the intor-stato law , and when they tcndei the regular Omaha rate in payment ol the freight and it is refused , they take the case to court and the goods by jo plovin. It looks as though the railroads were sickening on the fight and it is stated that on the last car load received by H. P. Law the road tried to get him to take it at DO cents charges which ho promptly refused , and roploviuod the goods as heretofore. THE COMING CLAM BAKE. At the spring meeting of the Nebraska Clam Makers' association hold at Crete it was decided that a second bake should beheld held the present summer. In compliance with this order backed by an insatiable nppotito for more clams , S. C. McHrido , president of the association , has called a bake to bu hold at Shogo Island on the 20th , 27th'and 08th of the present month. Shogo Island is situated at the village of Milford and to the bake none will bo ad mitted save the members of the associa tion and their invited guests. An abund ance of clams from the shores of old ocean with sea turtles and other accessories series will bo the bill of faro. UKLKGATES APPOINTED.

The prosecution in the case against Judge Parsons , the police magistrate , had at the close of their evidence Jailor Baldwin ou the stand , who testified to receiving numerous fines hitusolt from prisoners and that ho either paid them over to thu police judge or the marshal. Ho recited some half dozen of these cases and brought his book into court. Thu book was one of the modern curiosities , and a puzzling book out of which to ex tract anything satisfactory. The mar shal's testimony , that in part contra dicted the jailors , was also taken. The forenoon yesterday was entirely taken uf with the examination of the police judge in his own behalf. The testimony was s general denial of thu charges , but on ox pllclt cases charged as lines collected am1 not found on his docket ho would no swear that thny had boon paid or had no been paid , lie testified that he knoy nothing concerning thorn beyond hi : docket. In the case of Leo Johnson hi thought lie remembered the person rxm fining him , and if the case was not on tin docket it must have boon omitted. Hi explained as to other cases charged am that could not bo produced on the docko that no could not explain their omissioi without it had been unit the papers In tin case had been lost before the cases won put upon the docket. In his oxammatioi regarding the payment of the fines col looted under the statutes ho claimed ignorance noranco of the law and that his.iiupres sion was that once in six mouths' was a often as ho was called upon to pay over As an explanation as to why , If ho si construed the law , ho had failed to ranki payments once in six months , he tcslilo ( < that ho supposed it WHS carelessness o thoughtlessness on his part. The testi inony of n few unimportant wltncsse was taken and in the afternoon the tit torneyB occupied an hour in the argu ments. The council committee will holt f ! the matter for a report at the next sittinj of the council. UUIEP ITEMS.

Another Anecdote or Ilorr Krupp. The Gorman papers continue to pub- ish numerous nnocdotes oftlio _ late Tlerr Krupp. The Emperor William , when visiting the Essen works , displayed great interest in thu working of the steam ham mer , and Ilcrr Krupp took the oppor tunity of speaking in high praise of the workman who had special charge of it. "Ackerraarn lias a sure eye , " ho said , "and can atop the falling hammer at any moment. A hand might be placed on the anvil without fear , and ho would stop the hammer .within a hair's breadth of ft. " "Let us try it , " said the emperor , "but not with a human hand try my watch , " and he laid it , a splendid speci men of work richly set with brilliants , on the anvil. Down came the immense mass of steel , and Ackorman , with his hand on the lover , stopped jt just the Hixth of an inch from the watch. When he wont to hand it back , the cmnoror re plied kindly , "No , Ackorman , keep the watch in memory of an interesting mo ment. " The workman , embarrassed , stood with out-stretched band , not know ing what to do. Krupp came forward and took the watch , saying , "I'll keep it for vou if yon are afraid to take it from his majesty. " A few minutes later they again passed the spot , and Krupp said , "Now you can take the emperor's pres ent from my hand , " and handed Acker- man n the watch wrapped up in n thous and mark note.

TflE COMING SOLAR ECLIPSE , Astronomers Everywhere Prepared for the Interesting Event. LINE OF. FATALITY DESCRIBED. I ho Most Impressive Scene in Nature Phenomena of the Bun's Corona Kcllpsci in tbo Pant Tbo Preparations. San Francisco Chronicle : A phenome non which is regarded by astronomers and physical scientists as being of the ut most importance to the scientific world as likely to sot a number of theories at rest , will occur on August 10 next. Par ties of astronomers , photographers and spcctroscopists from national and private observatories throughout Europe and the United States will bo eagerly watching at various localities for the solar eclipse oc curring on the date above mentioned. The following interesting account of the event was obtained from Prof. George Davidson of the United States coast sur vey. vey.The total solar eclipse of August 19 , is visible from the eastern part of Europe , through ttio whole of Asia , across the Pa cific ocean half way between Japan and the Sandwich islands. The southern limit of the partial phaho passes across the lied sea , the Persian gulf , the head of the Bay of Bengal , between Borneo and the Phillippine islandsthe northern limit being the north polo. The path of the totality is about 123 miles wide and this phase begins just west of Berlin , which it envelops ; passes about sixteen miles north of Moscow , and thence through the southern part of Siberia , across Japan , embracing Tokio , ( where the United States observers are to be stationed ) and so on to the Pacific ocean as far as the little island of Itico do Uro , latitude 3'J ° north and 157 ° east longitude. This lit tle island is directly in the midst of the path. On the earth the eclipse commences at 3.05.03 , Greenwich mean time , in the northcastcrmost part of the Meiiitterrau- can sea. The last point of contact is among the Caroline group of islands , latitude 10 ° north , thu total duration being four hours , lifty-six minutes , four seconds. The length of the total phase varies from two minutes , twenty-one seconds to three minutes , forty-eight seconds. In the lonpltude of Moscow the length of totality will bo two niinutcs.tlnrty-two seconds ; but in Siberia , in latitude 51 ° and longitude 141 ° , the length will bo three minutes , forty-eight seconds , while in Japan the time will no three minutes , ten seconds. In thu Siberian path the light of the sun will bo only 10 ° or 17 ° an unfavorable condition. Tokio , in Japan , oilers superior advan tages over any locality in the Russian path that is accessible , because the sun at that place will be HO0 hich , and the duration twenty to twenty-live seconds longer. It is , therefore , the best point that could have been selected by the United States for observing , and wo may look for valuable results , weather per mitting. The length of the total phase is about the average time of the phenomena , as they range from nothing to seven min utes. In those low minutes the Russian , French , German , English , American and Japanese parties , at their respective stations , hope to bo able to solve some of the delicate questions in the sun's corona. Thor < . ' is a decided value in the line tra versed by the eclipse , as telegraph wirrs are in the path , and if the wires are abso lutely available , the western station ob servers being the earlier ones , can scud forward to their eastern colluborateurs what they have seen , what they have missed , and what is needed for continua tion. tion.Professor Professor Young , of Princeton , and formerly of Dartmouth , where ho earned His fame , has , in his recent paper upon astronomical work of the last decade , told us what had been done on this and subsequent occasions. Those who observed all or some of the total solar eclipses of the past eighteen years , from ISC ! ) to 1880 , confirm the earlier observers who have declared the phenomenon to bo the most impressive scene in nature , far exceeding the glory of the greatest comets at least those of 18-13 , iar)8,1801 and 1833. As the black dlso of the intercepting moon moves slowly across the sun's burning disc the light gradually de creases , but not so much as one would suppose , at least , one's senses do not ad mit that when the sun's disc is half hid den there is much apparent loss of light , or even when three-fourths of the diso is obscured. When the disc is decreased until the merest , narrow band pf bright and living light is visible there is nothing around cither body to fall for attention. The sky is blue , the stars have not ap peared , and no one can predict the pos sible chancres that in a few seconds only must appear. The last brilliant point of sunlight disappears and suddenly the wonderful rose-colored tlames burst out far beyond tho'dark spherical body which now hangs in the heavens as if wo could almost roach it. Far outside those red llnmn < i. which are in broken masses here and tlioro on the circumference , the lleecy , delicate white-wisps of the corona stream out from the sun's diso millions of miles. Near the body ot the sun for a depth of 100,000 miles the corona has a moderately dense texture with a certain regularity of depth ; but beyond this the texture and regularity is less than the most aerial cirrus clouds. A tendency to an equatorial extension is certainly determined and a weakness of development in the polar regions. Wo can with our present means reach and study the chromosphere and the promi nences of rod tlanios , and follow the cy clonic action of the red spots ; but this marvelous corona is yet inaccessible save m a tew precious seconds of n total cclipfc. No wonder expeditions for ob serving went to Alaska in 180'J ' , to Spain in 1870 , to Colorado in 1878 , to the South Pacltio In 1883 , to Africa in 1880 , not to mention the solitary occurrence on our coast in laSO. There am hundreds of contingencies and accidents likely to operate against success. Next to the total obscuration by clouds is the haziness and unsteadi ness of our own atmosphere ; the deftness of the observer in rapidly sketching a certainty of what ho sees , his sensitive ness of vision , a collectivness of the whole phenomena as to extension , and relative tone and position. It seems impossible to tind two observ ers giving even similar drawings of what must be the same phenomenon. Even practices observers are apt to subordi nate one phase to another , and it is a notable fuel that few observers have suf ficient facility as draughtsmen , or as rapid draughtsmen , to portray the fea tures of the eulip&o. They rarely do so , oven if plenty of time is afforded , as in watching a comet. But this phenomenon has apparently exhibited u wonderful power of chance in iU > elf , for the'.latcr observations of ob servers along the line of totality for the development of the corona at the western station would differ from the character istic at the eastern station. It is to study this almost infinitely ex panded solar appendage that the actual observers have been hoping for satisfac tory and oonclusivo demonstrations al each total ecjipse. Every one hopes , every one believes that ho has made accurate drawings RS to shape and CTCII as to color to add to the conclusive evi dence. Jansen hns been at work for years ntMovdon , near Paris , , studying the sun. Hugglns thought ho had photographed the corona In broad uayllght , but was satisfied that ho had been mistaken alter the eclipse of last year. Every effort will no\v \ bo made , not only to photograph this inscrutable en velope , but to determine with the spec troscope and polariscopb the character istics of its constitution. So far wo know more definitely than a few years since that tb.o corona is a real solar appendage more cxuandcd in the equatorial than In the polar regions ; thai it is an excessively attenuated envelope of pas and infinitely fine matter intensely luminous , and taking s.hapo according to the activity of the solar forces. The United States expedition left Van couver for Yokohama ou the steamer Parthla , on July G.

Tlio Strange Lone Life and Pathetic JJcath of Jean Dtirnnd. Now York World : A death certificate which calls attention to the checkered career of a man who lived over a cen tury , was tiled In the bureau of vital sta tistics yesterday. Jean Durand died Thursday in his miserable tenement home , No. 0 } Frahkfort street. His bones will repose in a pauper's grave in Potter's Held. Ho was 100 years and 20 days old. His life was full of ups and downs. His boyhood days were darkened by the MiicUlo of his father , who blow out his brains in Now Orleans because ho had squandered a handsome competence in gambling and riotous liv ing. The older Duriuiu had been a com modore in the early American navy. The son. then ten years of ago , started out in life for himself as a barber. He settled m Baltimore , where ho owned the most fashionable shop in the city. His patrons included congressmen , judges and fccnators. and as wealth followed thrift , ho gave choiec entertainments at his home , his cuusls being the leading states men of the day. One day ho accommo dated a friend by thu loan of his name to several notes. His fortune was swept away in meeting the dishonored pupor. Ho became a journeyman barber again , but ho was growing old and the younger men outstripped him. Eighteen years ago Jean married for a second time. His wife survives him in the wretched rear room which the old couple called their home. She visited the morgue and endeavored , amid tears and sobs , to arrange life corpse of the centenarian as well as she could. In the plain pine box , in which the white-haired and wrinkle-faced veteran lay , she placed a bundle of old c.ir.iets for a pillow so that the head might bo elevated. Then she put on his emaciated frame a linen shirt , in the bosom of which she set throe plain gold studs , the only jewelry the old man had owned. When reminded that these b.niblcs would purchase food , the poor woman broke 'down , and ex claimed : ' 'They must bo buried on him. If they were diamonds they would not bo too good tor him , for he was the kindest , best and most generous man that over lived.11 She kissed the dead man's lips for the last time. With tears flowing down her wrinkled cheeks , she left thu morgue and returned to her desolate and poverty- stricken homo in Frankfort street. Frequently accidents occur in the house hold which cause burns , cutssprains and bruises , for use in such cases Dr. J. II. McLcaus Volcanic Oil Liniment has for mnnr years boon the constant favorite family remedy. Professor Gardner's Philosophy. Detroit Free Press : "Ono ( ing dat con vinces mo dat do Lawd am a good Lawd , " said Brother Gardner , us Iho meeting opened , "ar1 do way ho nuts up wid human natur' .

The Decay or Ilotnance. Williamsport ( Ponn. ) Grit : "There Is , atter all , a deplorable lack of romance In this progressive ago of ours , " said a gen tleman in ono of our jewelry stores , "in days gone by the betrothal ring was con sidered as a sort of love token , and the maiden who received It wore It and doted upon it because of the spirit In which it was given. Now , however , the girls are very particular , and it is no unusual thing for them to come lioro with their engagement rings and have settings changed or some other Httlo matter that doesn't ' just suit thorn corrected. Now , that sort of thing is calculated to knock romance higher than a kite.1' CHINESE AFFAIRS. Terrible Punishment of n TnouUt Priest. The Foochow Echo says : At a place close by the well known tea house on the road to the city is to bo seen n man in n cage , with a cangae on his neck to keep him standing on his toes only , and In this position ho will be left till relieved by death. Upon Inquiry wo wore told that he Is a Taouist priest , and the crime ho committed was that about a fortnight ago ho put on a woman's dress and wont into a house wlioro no ono but a newly mar ried young girl was left. Ho boldly in formed the girl that he was her aunt , and come purposely to see her , and , of course , the girl believing this , nothing was left undone for the comfort of her supposed aunt during the whole day. At night the young girl offered her room and ocd to her aunt , BO they both wcro in the room talking , when suddenly the girl observ ing that the logs of her aunt were covered with hair , at once suspected that some mystery existed , because u woman never has hair on her legs. Showing no excite ment she told her aunt that she must go and get her clothing that had boon left on ' .ho terrace and that she would come back ihortly.

STYLE IN UMBRELLAS , The Very Ijiucst Thing in Kaiii-l'ro- tectnrs Artlallc Handles. Tlio umbrellas of our daddies wa ? not a pleasing sight upon the earth. Its center-polo was more formidiblu than shapely , and expensive drapery more generally adapted to soak up and retain the rain than make any attouip to divert it. It was short , fat and clumsy , with out the slightest pretension to bodily grace , and every line oQ'ered u direct re pulse to any grateful instinct which an tique swelldom might have felt to ad opt it as fashion's panoply. The transition , however , is a matter needing little comment. Sullico it to say that the umbrella , parasol and cane de partments of the dozen branches of trade which regard such as a legitimate feat ure of their business are thu most care fully kept and best patronised of all. It will be pleasing intelligence to these and to connoisseurs of a irpod "stick" to learn that several radical innovations on present styles have been decreed , and that steps to secure the same are in active progress among the accredited makers of the best goods. The umbrella is , lollowinc the English custom , rapidly usurping the place uf thu cane in dry weather , as well as obtain ing a much more decided hold on the af fections of Americans where its own sphere is concerned. In its adoption as the correct carry for promenade pur poses which is a comparatively recent tiat the umbrella bus become eligible tea a degree of elaborate ornamentation as biirprihing as pleasing to the eye. Most of the handles , which form , Irom a manufacturer's point of view , the basis of the entire structure , will this year beef of local fabrication , although largo importations of the latest London fads nro compulsory. In direct contrast to the bulk of last season's ) nwdo , they will this fall tend to light and simple shapes , in canes as well as umbrellas the most favored handle seems to bo a short crook or crutch , with n blom of not over two inches in length from bar to band. The fact , adduced by n prominent im porter , that over two-thirds of the han dles in use in London to-day are of thu conventional buckhorn , will not bo with out its effect on local prejudice. Novelties in gold and silver handles will bo much in demand , The latter metal has been put into several strikingly original forms , among which the etched and clectrotyped varieties are best cal culated to tinkle popular fancy. In ono the surface of the smooth silver is deeply grained with acid to represent in relief all sorts of floral , spoiling , rac Ing and coaching designs. These figures are minute and liberally crowded to get her , so that a very binall handle maj combine the functions of a very entur taining picture book , with its natural of lice. In the other a charming ollcrt I : produced by coating the knob of natura wood with graphita and heavily electro typing it in pure metal at least u six teentli part of an Inch thick. This coat ing is loft on the stick oxidi/ed and pol ished in faithful imitation of its grain Largo importations are reported o carved ivoiy handles in grotesque llora and animal patterns. The favorite umbrella stick will be tha ot reed , strengthened by a stout steered rod run through the centre , but for cauus more Woichol and Numa sticks will thu favor than anything else. In spite til the high duty of r 0 per con charged on so-called Spitalficld silks these , both twilled and taffeta , will ob tain over any American production. The correct sizes will b in lengths from twenty to thirty inches by gradation o two-inch lengths. Japanese or porcelain handles fo either canes or umbrellas will not be ul lowed , and , in fact , the must serlou deviation from the foregoing arrange ment which will bo permltteu-will bu ii a revival of the old carved dog and nnl mal heads in wood from a style half a dozen yearsold. . DECORATIVE ART. THIRTY YrAKS IN THE CITY OF OHIOAGO. ) no of the Oldest Inhabitants Gives a Thrilling Experience of His Rescue from Death. Trom tfcp Clilcnjro Dailj Kcrrs Juno 23 , IS ? In public places , especially in the summer cason , the eye is often attracted by neat ecoratipn * 'which embellish chandeliers nd ceilings as protection ajalnsl those hu man pests , the files , which , however , serve heir purpose as the scavengers of the air. The designs employed arc olttimes really rorks of art and the deft way in which licy arc attachtcd to walls and ceilings so .s to propcct them ; gives an impression of iry lightness which is pleasing to the eye. ta man hai probably spent so much time n Chicago on this line of trade as the sub- cct of the following sketch ; He has been a csldent of Chicago for thirty years , coming icrc with his parents when only 10 years of ge , and having grown up with the city his lame is known to thousands of her people. Vithin a short time such a wonderful hangc has taken place in his personal np- > carance that it has attracted the attention f his friends as well as that of a reporter , vho called upon him within a day or two and obtained the following sworn statement Personally appeared before me , George W. Hoover , No 278 West Twelfth street , vho , being sworn according to law , doth depose and say : That I have been ill for two or three yeart with a lung trouble , which a short time since resulted in hemorrhage , so that I re- narked to my wife : I think about next fall : will finish up. That I have paid out hun dreds cf dollars in the past two years for medicine and advice , but nothing did me any practical good. I would stop coughing [ or an hour or so , but it would come again lest day. The relief afforded me was only enulorary. I read of the numerous cures which had been effected by Dr. McCoy in he papers , and they described so closely mv symptoms that I called upon him at No. 10 Park Row. Dr. McCoy told me Lhat I had catarrhal bronchitis , and there was serious trouble with the right lung in .lie form of an abscess. I was put under the treatment , and he gave me relief right away. The night sweats with which I had been troubled have left me and I now rest well. I began the 'featmcnt on the 23d of May last , I used to cough every morning ; would get sick at the stomach. I liave been very nearly strangled trying to get something up when there was nothing to come up. But now I am doing splen didly. Have a clear head. I am not clouded up. I can travel all day and not tire out , and I can assure you my work re quires me to go about a great deal. I am satisfied that il I had not gone under this treatment I should have been compelled to stop work entirely , and this is my busy season. I was obliged on account of my trouble to leave a very easy situation about a year ago because I could not stand the night air aud was constantly taking cold. I have not felt so well for years as I do now , and I work hard , too. My friends remark my improved appearance , and I have gained five pounds in the little time which I have been under treatment , and I am convinced that a cure will be effected. GEORGE W. HOOVER.

Dr. AlcCoy la now located lu Omaha , nt the corner of ifttli niio Ilarnoy ts. , Uuuigo lllock LEADS TO CONSUMPTION. InluruNfliit ; Uvidciiuc ol' u Condi lion Kol to He Trifled With. The disease from which Mr. lloo\cr suf fered was catarrhal consumption. The disease originated in a cold , which became , chronic. As a result came the formation of mucus , which was partly discharged Irom the h-ad or dropped down the throat and was partially hawked up. A large portion of it , however , was swollowed , passing into the stomach and causing catarrh there. The mucus formed by catarrh decomposes , and \ \ hen it reaches the stomach is tither absorbed in the blood , , pioducing all manner of evil symptoms , or else coats over the food with a slimy material , which prevents the food from coming in contact with the digestive juices in the stomach. The food itself decompotcs. forms gas or wind in larjje quantities , and cau'es a feel ing of bloating or fullness after eating. When the catarrh has existed in the head and the upper part of the throat for any length of time the patient living in a district where people are subject to catarrh al affection and the disease has been left uncurcd , the caUrih invariably , sometimes slowly , extends down the windpipe and into the bronchial tubes , which tubes con vey the air to the different parts of the lungs. The tubes become attectcd from the swelling and the mucus arising from catarrh , and in sotrie instances becomes plugged up so that the air cannot get in as freely as it should. Shortness of breath follows and the patient breathes with labor and difficulty. In either case there is a sound of crack ling and wheezing inside the chest. A this stage of the disease the breathing is usually more rapid than when in health The patient also has hot flashes over litb body.
