A * between the two site * any man well informed about property values In Omnlm will sny that the Farnnm alto for (000,000 is much preferable ns n business In vestment and as n matter of convenience to the public. As nn advertisement for Omaha n publfo building on the crest of the hill will bo of incalculable advantage. That is the conclusion Dr. Miller has como to nftor bo had endorsed the Planters house tolto , and it la the conclusion every rational citizen of Omaha will como to , unless ho IB Interested In the immediate vicinity of the Planters house. The most ludicrous thing is that the sntno parties that had delayed the construction of the city hall two years , now clamor nbout the delay of a few days in the selection 6f n slto for the postoffico building , when they know that n delay of two or three months even would bo Immaterial In view of ' the fact that it will take flvo or six years t o erect the building. " MAJtnKRSON'fl ' ATSITUDK. "What hnvo you to say nbout Senator Mandcrson's attitude in tha mattorl" asked your correspondent. "Nothing for the present. I think it is rcry stranpo that ho should feel offended nnd get Into high dudgeon because citizens of Omaha , who are his constituents , differ with lilm nnd refuse to nbido by n Jug-handled Job , which It too gauzy to bo concealed. If the eepator is in earnest nnd moans to keep his hands off , at ho said ho would In the begin ning1 , ho should hnVo allowed tbo people in terested in nil the sites to present their claims'and lot the department dcctdo which Js the beat for the government. It certainly docs look singular that the senator should persist In indorsing a schema which origin ated with the democratic administration and was notoriously hatched to give Mrs. Cleveland - land a chance to dispose of her interest In the Folsom estate at a good figure. " FOIt THE KXOMSII MISSION. It U a diplomatic secret , but nevertheless true , that the name of Justice Samuel F. Miller , who ts probably the ablest man on the bench of the supreme court of the United States , has boon presented to President Harrison risen for the English mission. Justice Miller will have reached the ago of retirement within a couple of years and could go oh the retired list with his full pay of $10,000 per 'year ' , without any duties to perform , but it is understood that ho would bo willing to re linquish this for n four years' term at the court of St. James. Ho would make n mag nificent American representative in Englander or any other country , and if Chauncoy M. Depew is not appointed it need not create surprise if the name of Justice Miller is de cided upon.MANATT MANATT WANTS A SIISSION . > Irvin J. Manatt , who wns once professor of Grcok at Mamotta college and later chan cellor of tbo university of Nebraska , is hero 'pushing his application for the mission to Greece. Ho is strongly endorsed by the leading colleges and scholars of tbo country , by the Nebraska delegation In congress and many prominent politicians. Professor .Manatt is a Grcok scholar nnd would take hold of his duties without the customary training. TUB IOWA MBN ON DECK. Michael Austin , of. Grlnnoll , la. , now in Washington , applying for the ministry to the Argentine republic , says it is not true that bo desires the mission to South America for the purpose of introducing his agricul tural Implements or promoting personal in terests In any direction. Ilo says further that ho was not sent for by Secretary Blaine with a view to having his objects and aims in securing this mission explained. Mr. Austin receives th'o hearty indorsement of tno Iowa delegation In congress nnd many .gentlemen outside of the state who nro in- fiuential with the administration. MAHONE'9 WANTS. < r Ex-Senator Mahono of Virginia , now in the city , says ho doe * not want any place in thO'fodornl service for himself , but asks that i 'tho ' republican members of congress from I ! his state and the regular members of the unstato.central committee shall boi recognized * * 3 In tho.distrltfUtlon of tha patronage. He do- j ; .dares he would not have a foreign mission , , General Mahoao thinks' .that with a careful * * distribution of the oBIces in Virginia the 'atato will go republican noxl year.f I WHOSE rilOTOOKAl'Ill o * It is the custom of many ofilcosookors in forwarding their applications for a position urto their representatives in congress to en- f , close a photograph of themselves. Some senators and members of the house of repre ° sentatives have a largo collection of photograph - graph of ambitious constituents. A well linowil republican in congress from Nebrnskn finds himself In nn uncouifortrblo predica ment over the photograph of ono of his con stituents. The ofllccseokor sent him a letter applying for a position nndincloscd the indorse ments of a number of his friends. Ho stated 'that the same- mail would bring his photo graph to the statesman. Tbo photograph came In a separate package , but contained nn distinguishing mark , nnd it cannot bo determined with whoso application it belongs MISCELLANEOUS. The first appointment made by Suporlu- i tendent Boll , of the general railway mail ser vice , was that of D. F. Barker , of Fremont , to bo postal clerk on the Omaha and Ogden run. Representative Dorsey was nt the postofllce department to-day and filed en dorsements for postal clerks as follows : T. J..Brown , of Fullcrton ; Alex Peterson , Of Kearney ; Mr. Klein , of Sioux county. Ho pUofileajrecouimendutiou for the appoint ment of James D , . Patterson , of Chadron , to special -agency of tho'interior department. y > lr. Dorsoy goes to his home in Nebraska next week. He bar been very successful In Mouring appointments so far , nnd is redeem ing hi promises rapidly. In the course of a talk , to-day about 1 the appointment of * mon In the 'rail- ' ' May mail service , Postmaster General < > \Vanamakor saidi to Air.

FOlt Ot'l'UESSED Omaha to Toiulor Aid to tbo Great Irian Chieftain. The meeting called for the purpose ot ar ranging for a mass mooting to bo hold in Omaha for the purpose of expressing sym pathy nnd securing aid for Parnoll In bis struggle in behalf of Ireland was not very largely attended , but those who were there wore enthusiastic. Tbo meeting wus hold in the parlors ot the Nebraska Savings bank , and the following well known gentlemen . Tvero present : John L. Miles , Michael Lee , J. JU.Nlcholi , John Groves. Peter O'Malloy , 1 E.0'Nod and P. Cusoy. Mike Leo called tbo " Meeting to order , and John L. Miles was caoion chairman and John Groves secretary. Jt was decided to style the mooting that ol rlsh-Amerlcnns. and to prepare a call to thai effect. It wat also decided to issue private invitations to Governor Thayer , state offi cers , and the municipal onlcora und county officials ot Omaha and Douglas county , The following committee was appointed to prepare - pare u call : John L.

THE GREAT RACE IS OVER , The Omaha Rldor Wou It By a Good Length. MMENSE CROWDS AT THE END. Different Contontnntfi Showered With Flowers nnd Other Evidences of Having Mndo Conquests Among the Kcgulnr Spectators. Miss tVinintn * the Vlotor. Whllo the crowd that was present to see the opening of the rnco last night was n lirodlglous ono , it did not quite como up to Lho assemblage ot the evening previous , There was no perceptible decrease In the en thusiasm , however , and as the la'dlos loft the mark they wore greeted with the usual salvo of applause. There wore only live on at tlio start , Miss Woods nnd Armalndo failing to appear. This occasioned many expressions of disappointment , for the Philadelphia girl Is ono of the prime favorites , aud on the opening night wns regarded as ono whoso chances for first place were exceedingly good. She was seized with falntnoss early In the struggle , which misfortune necessitated frequent halts , nnd finally threw her back to sixth place. Whllo she wns nt her best she rode in grand style , and made it exceed ingly tropical for Miss Williams whenever she wont after her. Everybody , of course , syrapatlil/od with Armalndo , who has boon ono of the greatest rldors the female byklng world over produced. She was wholly unfit to go into this rnco from the very start , and should uovor have undertaken such desperate work. Considerable of the disappointment above noted was dissipated a quarter of an hour nftor the start by Miss Woods' appearance on the track. She wns welcomed by a tumultu ous outburst of cheers , nnd responded by dashing around the course like a little race horse. By 8 o'clock the coliseum was literally packed. Every seat in the entire building was occupied , every inch of standing room was lined , nnd the quartos-stretch was n veritable crush of excited , cheering , jostling men and boys. While the Musical Union band last nlcht rendered nn especially pleasing programme. the general opinion prevails that a big rood or string band would bo the appropriate mu sical accessory for the coliseum. Beauty Baldwin , ns has boon her invaria ble custom , was the first to awake the echoes uy ono of her bursts of wondrous speed. At every turn she was met with n very storm of cheers , the men waved their bats nnd vied with each other in seeing which could make the most noise , whllo the ladles generously clapped their hands and then threw sprays of flowers before her whirling wheel. Miss Baldwin's delicate beauty has made her more than the favorite of the race. § ho gained n lap by this initial support , and as a recom pense was presented with a gorgeous basket of flowers. In addition to this lovely com pliment she received a present from Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Thornton In the shauc of an ex quisite silk plush banner , with a cluster of calla lilllcs In the centre , arrosceiio oni- broldored with beautiful silk trimmings. To display the Danncr she hung it around her neck and rode a lap or' two. Miss Woods , although she rode remarka bly well for nn hour , was comuolled at the expiration of that time to indulge in a lengthy rest. If stio had been in proper con dition throughout the race it Is very prob lematical whether Miss Williams would have boon the easy winner that she was. Miss Oakcs was also a recipient of a showy floral tribute , a wheel wrought from Majesto roses , lilies of the valley , smilax nnd mignonette. Misses Brown and "Woods were also remembered plcntcously with flowers , and Miss Williams got a basket of blossoms Irom "tho boys around the cor ner , " in' return for which sho" bolted ahead and took another extra lap. A moment later 'MatiageV Prlnco brought the local rider to a stop , , nnd on behalf of the Omaha Base Ball association , presented her with n handsome gold medal. She bowed and smiled her thanks , and ngaln flow away upon her weary course , to the cheers of the people and the muslo nf tLo band. Armaindo came pn the track at half past 9 nud joined the dizzy whirl. She looked worn nnd disheartened , but'mannged to sot n pace that kept thorn all busy to follow. Some frierrd sent her n bunch of flowers and an elegant silk scarf , Ml s Williams received a basket of flowers "from the boys in the Steam City laundry , " and nt the same time Bonutv Baldwin and Miss Oakes each received theirfifth bouquet. Flowers have been a common quantity in deed in this great raco. At ten minutes to 10 Miss Williams turned her 230th mile , and fifteen minutes later Miss Lou-is hud gone the same distance. The finale of the grand struagla was nx- tromoly exciting ; the riders spurted , aud flew about the traok like so many birds ; the band struck up a lively air , the people yelled and screamed in their ecstncy , and the clos ing moments sped amidst a very bedlam of wild hurrah and commotion. Miss Williams nnd Woods were the rivals in this wind-up , and the Omahau found it impossible to gain an inch upon her pretty little rival. And thus closed the most interesting race over witnessed hi Omaha. The sco re : Miles. Laps. Williams . \259 4 Lewis . 233 9 Baldwin . 249 5 Oakes . 246 5 Brown . 241 5 Woods . 226 9 Armaindo . ; . 149 4 When the result of the race wag announced by Manager Prince , the tremendous cheer that arose at the mention that Miss Baldwin had taken third place , very clearly demon strated what a favorite she is. From Omahu the ladles go to Kansas Citj , where they race in April. Wednesday night tlioy will nopoar in a sweepstake * race nt the 'coliseum , and Thurs day morning bid adieu to Omaha. Aaliingcr Accepts Prince's OMAHA , March 23. To the Sporting Ftlitor of TUB BEB : As a gurranty of my sincerity In this matter , and inasmuch as I am unbblo just now to run n race for money , I hereby nccept the challenge Mr. Prince threw down to me to ride him a ten mile race , for fun , f i oo to the public , the riders to start at op posite sides of the track. I am not crawfish- In ? but to convince the citizens of Omaha of my truthfulness , earnestly urge Prince to como to time according to tils own specifica tions publlsnod in his challenge of Wednes day afternoon last. I am willing then to lot the matter rest. liospeatfully , O. W. ASUI.VOEH. bt. Paul's Had Team. 'Sr. PAUL , Minn. , "March.23. [ Special to TUB HUE. ] There has been an nlr of mystery about tha headquarters of the St. Paul team for the past four days that it has been impossible for the newspaper fraternity to fathom. That there Is u deal of considerable magnitude in process of incubation is plain , but precisely what it U th scribes have so for failed to discover. It is believed that tbo matter Involves the transfer of Plokett , the crack short stoi > of the team , to either New York or Washington. Murtrio lias sent feelers out this way to find out about what the clover young infielder could bo scoured for. He Is sort of "between the devil and the deep sea" for a short stop , us Wagen- mutt , tlio Princeton player , ts very muoh of on experiment , and it Is not yet Bottled whether Ward will put in the season at Now York or Washiugton. The capital city team is in very much the sanio boot. Without Ward it has no short atop nnd Plckett is looked on as precisely the man wanted. Ted SulUvak , who managed Pickott In Milwau kee in 1BSO , is engineering the matter for the senators uud Manager Barnes is understood to have several Interesting letters from him bearing on a transfer contingent on Ward's remaining In New York. Br.rnos smiles clear around under hl ours as ho smacks his chops over the prospect of n sale. Ho holds his man at $3,500 , and it Is said Pickett will demand n salary of $3.500. President Thompson and Manager Barnes nro not specially nleosed with tno schedule adopted at Sioux C'ity , but they are not dU- posed to iimko trouble over it. St. Paul U nut down for games in Minneapolis on both Memorial day and the Fourth of July. Under ordinary clroum tauce tbU would bo considered serious , but tUo tit. Paul manage mcnt Is dUposcd to bo liberal toward Minne apolis , from the fnct tlmt the Flour City has no Sunday games nnd needs nouio encourage ment. Thirteen Sunday nnd twclvo Saturday games will bo played In St. Paul , nnd with jood weather these will pull the club through in fine shape. At this juncture , It might bo stated that St. Paul hm mndo money every season when other clubs have been going to the wall. It U learned hero that Milwaukee ts disposed to feel sere over the schedule , but n careful study of the apportionment docs not reveal any special injustice done the Cream City nine. Manager Barnes is in correspondence with Ills men , nnd they will begin arriving here before All Fool's day. An attempt Is being made to got the St. Louis Browns hero for n lories In April , and tha Twin City teams nro Lo play n series of seven games for the local championship. The team will make no ox- loaded trip , however , as last year's exper ience wus too costly. When the club re turned to St. Paul from Its swing around the circle to Cincinnati , Louisville , Indianapolis , Davenport nnd Omaha last April Duryon wns laid up with n smashed linger , Ander son with n sprained back , Vogcl with n dis located arm , nnd Hellly with an attack of pneumonia. The club had to take the field iileecd out with scrubs , and lost games enough in the first three weeks to sco the pennant go glimmering. BTOK1KB OF .V LONG TI3UM. Mnrahal Ulcrbowcr , About to llotlro , Grown lloiiilnlHCont. Seventeen years' experience ns United Stales marshal , both chief and deputy , in n now country ought to crowd Into the history of any man's life , sorao very interesting nnd memorable events. The official career of Ellis Blerbower , who will soon rctlro , bcgnn In 1870 under Presi dent Grant. During this time , ns nil the old settlers will know , Nebraska has been productive of many stirring , important nnd unusually exciting incidents , with which ho had more or loss to do. Among too musty , weather stained , dust covered documents 'stored away in the drawers , pigeon holes and clos ets of Uncle Sam's law temple , "may bo found stories more racy in subject matter , dramatic character , nnd intricate plot than tlio wildest fiction that over omiuated from human mind. Yesterday the writer suggested to Mr. Biorbowcr that a recital of reinlnis- conrcs , such as he could easily produce from Ills well stocked memory , would not only prove entertaining to 80,000 readers of the ? rcat SUNDAY Ben , but n 'valuable bit of knowledge ns well. "Keel off some of the most notable affairs , that the present and future generations shall know that your long continued picnic has not boon free from cares , burdens , responsibilities nud dan gers. " After a few moments' reflection ho opened the conversation with an observation to the effect tlmt his official career hud been so much in the nature of straight business that big transactions wore forgotten almost ns soon as small ones. But with the refreshing- of nn occasional Interrogation , many cases , each one of which attracted extraordinary attention when on , were called up ani briefly reviewed. Among the very first wns an attempt , similar to tout now surrounding the Oklahoma sensation , made by John Uor- don away back in the early seventies , to ! n- vado uud colonize a portion of Dakota known as the Black Hills district. Gordon started from Sioux City with an immense train of adventurous fellows traveled across the northern portion of Nebaaskn und dually camped In the promised land. He tiad no sooner driven his stakes , however , than the secretary of war instructed Gen eral Sheridan to have the entire .party re moved. Little Phil sent the audacious leader an order to vacate , but like jomo of his present imitators down south , lie refused to obey , and soon found himself face to face witli nn unpleasant situation. A detachment of soldiers was sent to enforce the order , nnd they were compelled to carry out their instructions in warlike shape. Gordon and his band could not bo induced to jive up peacefully. They 4 showed 30 much stubborn resistance that tno soldiers became disgusted and sailed into them. As n consequence the settlers wore routed , lost everything , had to fly tor their lives , and were furnished the unpleas ant privilege of seeing their wagons and tents literally destroyed. Gordon was arrested by Biorbowcr , kept in custody several days and finally released on a writ of habeas corpus. People who have resided hero long will re member n highly dramatic litigation in which George P. Bemls figured as plaintiff against his undo , the renowned George Francis Train. Bcmis had traveled around the world with Train ns his private secre tary , nnd on their return found it compul sory to sue him for the payment of his salary. Ho got Judgment' and in order to satisfy the same Bierbower sold what Is known ns Dredit Foncicr under the hammer. A similar case was handled against John Irwln over a disputed forty acres adjoining Lincoln , in which the mar shal sold the property. Ono of the most exciting and" prob ably important controversies had its origin in the arrest ' of Standing Bear , chief of the Santco Siouxlndians nnd his tribe , who como from the territory osten sibly on n visit , but determined to remain on their old reservation in the northern part of the state. Acting under advices from Wash ington , General Crook placed ttiom all under arrest. Subsequently Blorbowor bad to pet-1 form the duty of serving a writ of. habeas corpus on General Crook , forcing him. to let him go free , The case was reviewed before Judge Miller of the"Uu.ited States supreme court. Tbo high flyinc escapades of Loyal L. Smith , dubbed "Merchant Prlnco of the Prairies , " gave the marshal a few months of lively business , inasmuch as ho eventually took possession of Smith's deserted inter ests nnd hold them until a receiver was ap pointed. For four months immediately following-- the murder of Watson B. Smith Mr. 'Blor bower was on the go night and day nearly , but said he when speaking this crime : "Wo never found out nny more about it than was known the day it occurred. 'I was'nt Sianoy and whllo coining home from there a tola- grain was handed to mo nt breakfast in the eating house at Grand Island stating that Smith had boon killed. When I arrived homo that afternoon , the citizens wore bola- Ing a mass meeting in the old academy of music. Then and there they made up n purse of $10,000 and offered it as a reward for the murderer. A committee consisting of J. E. Boyd , Ezra Mlllnrd and A. E. Touzalin was appointed to look after the matter. They brought detectives from Chicago and placed them at my disposal , and wo scoured the country but could got no duo. " Another quite thrilling event was recorded nt the lime W. II. II. Lowollen and a posse undertook to capture notorious Dee Middle- ton nearNlobrara. They laid an ambush for him to fall into , but ho discovered it in tlmo to inako a fight and got away. Sevora.1 shots were exchanged four or five men wounded and some horses killed. Subsequently ! Lowellon arrested a fugitive near Fort luibison , who was wanted in Dakota , and started with a truard to de liver him up. They wore compelled to travel some distance after nightfall and when daritnoss came on the prisoner inado a 'break to escape. The only and easiest way that Lowollon could think of for slopping the follow was with a chunk of cold lead , and ho sent ono spinning after him , The criminal laid down nnd died. Lewolleu was arrested , charged with mur der , nnd brought to Omaha. Ho proved that Bierbower had clothed bun with the authority of a deputy United States marshal and went free. The capture not many months ago of Gootgo Parker , n Wyoming road agent , who robbed Paymaster Bush , of the army , fits into the history as an unusually interesting affair. Parker was taken to North Platte by Sheriff Doauo , and there ho employed half u dozen lawyers who made au effort to bavo him released , but Blorbowor put in an appearance , before they succeeded , took the scoundrel from them , brought him to Omahu , where ho admitted bis identity , and then sent him to Cheyenne. Ho is now serving u term in the penitentiary. The Swindler nnd Wells and the Leynard false entry land coses passed through tbo marshal's bands , besides a number of big bankrupt transactions , but everything could cot bo ro called. Such a long slcgo as ofllcer of the United Status court , i not expected , either to bo entirely devoid of amusing and comical luci dentH. One very funny episode was related On n bright November morning Charles F. Maniloraon rushed excitedly into the office and ( 'uvo the umrehal an attachment to servo on several thousand dollars worth of peed % storoa In Houscl & Allen's warehouse on Thirteenth street , which had been shipped by .Tone'Smith < t Co. , of St. Paul , to some vwtitMn the Interior ol No- hraska. Mandors'on 'Urged ' the marshal to hurry , because htf-kitoAv that another lawyer Imd gone to the county court house for similar papers tra attach the same goods. The thing narrowctlid6wn finally to a foot race between dfilpors nnd lawyers to see who could get inrfirst. Bierbower won. Ho bent the deputy shbriff'half n mlnuto nnd got his attachment scrrcd. But the lawyers engaged In n hot .wan of words nnd cnmo near potting to blowa.j At last Mandoroon Inquired who bin opponent was fighting for. "Jones , Smith iQo. , of St. Paul , " came the reply. Thqji 1 you nro. Why they nro my clients , ! ' -This lot out the fnct that both parties were working for the same firm. Somebody cracked n bottle of wlno. Mr. Biorbowor takes considerable pride in the fact that ho has never been sued for making nn illegal arrest ; and that no judgments have ever boon obtained against him. Ho goes out of the ofllco feeling that ho will always bo nblo to point with pride to his record. Brad D. Slaughter , the gentleman who has been appointed to succeed Bierbower ns United States marshal , came up from Lin coln last night and is nt the Mlllard. In an swer to Inquiries as to when ho expects to take charge of the office , Mr. Slaughter said , "It will probably bo n month. My blanks hnvo not yet arrived from Washing ton , nnd I hnvo made no attempt to socurc _ bondsmen. " OKGANIXKI ) LABOR. What tlio Various Unions nro Doing or Hnvo In Prospect. The Journeymen carpenters nro progress ing nicely , although nt present there are a largo number 6f the craft who have yet failed to associate themselves with the car penters' union. In Omaha thora are two unions ; union No. 59 , with 125 members , nnd No , 271 , with fifty members. The latter is constituted of Germans , South Omaha has a strong and nctivo organization of- car penters No. 12 with seventy-five members. At present thcro are In Omaha nnd South Omaha 2,200 carpenters. Ot this number but u light percentage ts organized , but the orders nro rapidly growing nnd at the close of the year the union mon state that lu all probability some strong organizations will exist. From reports received at union 53 , nbout one-half of the members hvvo been nt work nil winter , and at present three-fourths of them nro wielding the saw and hammer. The opinion is advanced that inside of a month every union man in the city will be furnished labor. The wages at present are SO cents per hour , with nlno hours per dayy , nnd olght hours on Saturday. The mechanic , from n labor standpoint , predicts n lively time during the summer. The prospect for n heavy season in building , they state , wns never more bright than at present. As to the class of buildings , they nro of the opinion that n largo amount of money will bo expended in developing suburban territory. The resident portions of the city , they state , nro also to receive their share , while largo business blocks arc to bo constructed m the central districts. That the season for all trades will bo nt its lielght during this period is what prevails in the mind of every mechanic that ban time and ngnin before ths'prpsscd ( his tools into service in supplying thd demand. As to the unorganized factions , 'thp union men state that but little active work in the line of or ganizing has been done , " out that the roll of honor is being rapidly filled. Central Jjnbhr Union. At a meeting of the Central Labor union Friday night ninfitc'dn 'trades were repre sented by delegate's" ' 'At tbo next meeting , which will bo holdiin three weeks , it is ex pected that twenty-six trades will be repre sented. Relative' ' to a bill now pending before the legislature , entitled "An net prohibiting and punishing combinations nnd conspiracies in restraint of trade nud business , " the following resolution was adopted by the Control L'abor union : Hcsolved , That Uo.Ce'utral Labor union condemn In unmeasured terms house roll No. 24'J ' , now on Hho jgenerol file , ns it is a dirbct blow nt the free rights of speech nnd free action on the part of the worklngmon of Nebraska to'organlzo themselves into taw abiding bodies ies for their own mutual interests , and if it becomes n law an grafted it will make thous ands of criminals and fugitives from justice , or rather injustice , ' whoso only cnmo would bo for exorcising the , inalienable right guar anteed to every American system that of frco association. The Australian System. Wednesday next the printers of Omaha will make a practical test of the benefits of the Australian system of voting. Polls will bo opened at the union hall , Fourteenth street , between Dodge and Douglas , nt 12 o'clock noon , and will remain open until 7 o'clock in the evening. They will bo in charge of C. I. Morris" , financial secretary , and each candidate will bo permitted to ap point a judge. The entire proceeding will be in care of the executive board of the Typo graphical union , and may bo depended upon as being straight. The candidates for dela- gate nro P. M. Jones of THE BEE , John Hogan of the Herald , Ed. Hartcly of the Republican , W. C. Corwin of the Republi can and 1C S. Fisher of the World. This af ternoon the executive board will meet to perfect arrangement ? . Hallway Switchmen. ' No other order is growing so rapidly as the Switchman's union , and Vice Grand Master - tor John Downey is now on a tour through the western states. Before ho returns cost he will organize branches nt Pueblo , Color ado Springs , Pocatello , Idaho ; Butte City , Wont. ; Ogden , Utah ; _ Helena , Mont. , aud Laramlo , Wyo , Ho was at the meeting of tbo Council Bluffs union Thursday uiirht , and in Oinaua Friday. The union in this city is ono of the strongest of railway organiza tions , and cow numbers 115 members. A Bond' of Sympathy. Miss Boechlor has , during her confine ment , made the acquaintance of Misa Rosb Andrcson , who was last week acquitted of tbo charge preferred by Maurer , the rcstau- rantour , and ytstordav made a request that Rose bo allowed to sit with her during bor approaching trial. _ Ijabor Notes. To-day the Braiiomans' union will moot in the K. of L. hall. It is only a call for regu lar business. > The stationery engineers met in Shoely block Friday night , but from what they nay nothing of Importance , was ' done. They have a secret of their own. ji'ojvover , and are not willing to share it with the general public. Things are running /along smoothly in the building trades , nnd 'kofdras ' the bricklay ers are concerned , 'thoy are willing- accept the terms proposed by tbo bosses. Whether or not they will bo olitao same opinion when .work is brlsix Is another question , and'will only be decided in midsummer. There is no changA * In'tho ' tailors' strike , nor is there any proiwtotfof an adjustment of the existing dinicultles.

SUPERINTENDENT OF WEDDINGS. A Now Occupation for Women Gny Pnrlslcuncs Itcformlnj ; ' du Matin" A. Dobntnnto's Dross Tbo Beat Dnnoors. American Women the Best Dnnoors. Our women nro the host dnncora in the world , so the Philadelphia Times maintains. The English woman moves stiflly , slowly , considers reversing vul gar because the prlnco of Wales does not do It , nnd she dances no solemnly that if the music should bo hushed and her fnco only wore visible it would seem ns it she wore arranging some now cus tom at a funeral nnd had assumed her host funeral manners. The American girl hoops time with the muslo and sebms always rather to glide , whllo the English girl never gets beyond n trot. Dancing is ilo longer tno important fea ture of an evening's entertainment , un less , of courseit is an evening especially devoted to it. Wo used to amuse our selves ; now wo have people to amuse us. In time it is possible we wilt grow like the onstorn magnates and have people dance while wo look on , In nays gone by n hostess after dinner would sit down to a piano and sing a bit for the amuse ment of nor guests , but now she has some ono from the opera or from ono of the many theaters who can , of course , appear when the play is over , which ox- nctly puits the hour of the late dinnor- giver to do this. The fashion , which introduced itself into England some time ago , is rapidly bccomincr the vogue in Now York , although no ono has yet done as did Sir Alfred Rothschild , who had Mrs. Potter to recite , and paid her , I believe , $1,000. Woman's Newest Occupation. A now occunation for a .vonmn is that of superintendent of weddings , says the Philadelphia Times. A young woman in her late twenties who makes a suc cess of the profession is installed in or near the house of tlio bride prospective some little time before the ceremony. She selects the trousseau , advises what is latest nnd finest in underwear , buys the material , designs und makes or su perintends the making of the gowns. This is nu fait in stockings , boots , gloves , luces nnd hundkorchiofs. She BOOS to the millinery und the jackets and wraps. She irowns the bride's mother and the younger sisters , if any. She dictates to the bridesmaids , nnd is the fairy godmother who thinks of everything and lets the engaged couple enjoy themselves with unanxious mind. ' Ono'family who have found her valua ble recommends her to another , and she has obtained auite a clientage. A Revolution Aimmz French Women. The French women are proverbial for turning their days into nights and vice versa , but recently , according to Table Talk , a few fashionable Parisionnci have awakened to the fnct that they sleep away the best part of their lives. It is among them , therefore , that an early-rising association has been formed , called "La Liguo du Matin , " the members signing papers to the fact that , except in case of illness , they will arise daily nt 7 a. m. , and after a dip in the cold b'ath take a brisk walk , or , if horsewoman , * a "short can ton They promise , further , to end their balls and receptions by midnight , nnd on "oil" nights to retire punctually at ll. Should this society flourish , gay Paris will , in deed , be revolutionized. A Belle. London Il'u ! Id With raven trcssses , slim nnd tall , With dark eyes kindling into light , She moved amid the dancers all , The loveliest through the livelong night. She scorned the love I scarce dared tell , For tuis my Lady Isabelle. But' time relentless onward runs To vengo mo of mine ancient , slight. Jet locks grow gray 'ncath many suns , And dim the eyes erewhilo so bright. Ah ! littlo' now remains to tell How once my lady was a belle. Her Annual Until. The French papers report that the queen of Madagascar has just taken a bath. Perhaps Americans will not nt first quite realize the solemnity and im portance of tnis statement concerning the"annual ablutions of the queen , which nro the sensation of the year in that dis tant island , says the Now York World. , They 'celebrate the occasion of the "Festival of the Bath" with the grcat- est'pomp nnd seriousness. In the days _ of Louis XVI. the favored of the multi tude wore permitted to como in and gaze with delight upon his most Chris tian majesty engaged in getting outside of liia.'brcakfast , and in the same man ner it is only thcMadagascan 400 which is permitted to assist in this great festi val of cleanliness. Besides these , the privileged spectators consist of the for eign mini8toraher own highest olllcials only , and the princes of the blood. The prime minister and French resi dent alone'nro allowed to be seated dur ing tills august ceremony. The queen herself is clothed all in scarlet and seated upon a red velvet throne ; a corner of the room is railed oil with red curtains , and behind this is rolled a great bath-tub Bet on wheels. A _ solemn procession lilos through , bearing the water for the bath , materials for the flro to heat it , made directly under the bath tub itself , the , towels , soap , per fume nnd variout toilet appurtenances. As soon as thp water is sufllcioutly heated the flro is put out , prayers are said and a hymn bung imploring that the queen sullqr no harm from her dar ing act , nnd then , as she disappears behind - hind the curtain a salvo of artillery is fired and the drjums bcint to announce to the excited multitudes outside that the important part of the ceremony is taking place. At the end gf a.briof fif teen minutes the queen reappears , somewhat paler in hue , but gorgeously arrayed and wearing nil the crown jew els. In her hand she carries an oxhorn tipped nnd bound with silver , full of water taken from the hath just pre vious to her entrance to it. Bearing thia and accompanied by the prime min ister , she marches to the palace portal , where oho dips a branch into the water and sprinkles the spectators as they pass along , which gives thorn the satis faction of feeling that they have in a measure shared in the dangers in which the queen us the head of the nation had boldly confronted. Cannon nro fired at intervals of every five minutes until she is safely back on her throne again , and the princes of the royal family , the rep- rcsontrtlvoa of the nobilitvand the for eign minibtors come und tender their congratulations nnd present gifts , which express their joy at the safe conclusion of the ordeal. It is a time of general feasting about the island ; ox on are roasted whole and the people Bund gifts to ono another in testimony of the uni versal joy. joy.A A Debutante's Drofcs. Ono of the most successful dinner dresses of the season wus worn by a de butante , nud hod a remarkably burpris- ing effect , writes Tllllo May Forney , in Tnole Talk. It wus made of croara- white orepo , the entire skirt laid in ao- cordeou pleutb. It was colorless uutli the wearer moved , and then flashed out n mnnbor of palo but distinct rays ; each pleat was lined with a delicate stripe of pale-blue , pink nnd orange India silk. Over this was a Dlroctolro coat of croanvwhlto moire , the tails lined with old gold nnd finished with a gold- embroidered waistcoat and deep cuffs. This is one of two prevailing styles that , only a few years ago. would have boon voted to highly theatrical for wear in a private drawing-room , But it is n Boason when "effects" are sought after , not only in costumes , but in surround ings. The provulltng "fad" nt after noon tons is to have the room lighted dimly. Gas jots nro turned low , and the flickering rays from waxen tnpors look sickly in comparison with the flashes from the jewels worn. The ladles , for the moat part , took kindly to the idea , on the ground that the "dim religious" light enhances not only the brilliancy of their gems , but also of the complexion and eyes. It is the awkward lord of creation who grumbles , lie never did have a deep-rooted fancy for afternoon teas , at any rate , he con siders these darkened rooms an addi tional snare for the unwary. Poor man. Ho presents a piteous spectacle ; vu ho lingers n moment in a curtained door way , wondering helplessly which is the safest course to pursue towards the hos tess who , with "malico and fore thought , " ho argues , has stationed hor- bolf at the farthest end of the room. If ho reaches that point without upsetting nny of the numerous consoles , standing- lamps , screens and vases , which loom up before him like so many dreadful spec tres , ho breathes a sigh of intense re lief and retraces his stops over the dan gerous pathway as quickly as courtesy will permit. _ TUB RAILROAD SITUATION. Gould Thinks It la Improving anil lioaltB for Better Times. Nnw Yonic , March 23. [ Special Telegram to TUB B : E. ] Jay Gould talked freely of his inspection trip last evening. lie silil ; "I hi wo found a steady improvement in rail road business and prospects. The south western , and perhaps western road gener ally , have shown better earnings since Janu ary 1 than they did last year. They may not have much Increased in tonnage , but rates have been better maintained and the com panies arc receiving more not money. 1 ob served , too , that passenger travel was in creasing , nnd that is a very hopeful sign tor the future. In regard to the peaer.il railroad situation , I put great reliance on the recent amendment to the intcr-fttnto comnioree law. They have greatly strengthened the original law , nnd the year's experience lias brought railroad men to n clear understanding of its practical work ing. The old pooling agreements were Intended merely to make uniform and oven rates and to prevent vicious rate wars. The intcr-stuto law will bring about the same result , although it works In favor of the older nnd stronger lines. The weaker roads will fall eventually Into the hands of the old nnd strong companies because they will not dare to violate the amended lawand on even terms with the stronger companies they will hardly bo able to secure triifllu enough to support them. I want to see the law strictlv enforced , and I have no doubt that it will be. As to the financial situation , I do wish that our imports wcrn not so largo and our exports largo'r , but I certainly am not looking lor any financial crash. I think the general business of the country is fairly good , and largo crops this year would re lieve any probable embarrassment. ORDERED SOM > . The Great Wabnsh Cane nt Imst DC- elded in Court. Cincvoo , March-23. The-groat Wabnsh case came to nn end to-duy In the United States court by the entry of n decree offer ing the great railway plant for sale in this city. The question of upset price that is , the price that must reach the amount of in debtedness for first mortgage bonds of the Ohio and Indiana divisions , and $147,000 of second mortgage bonds' of the Ohio division , first mortgage of the Great Western divis ion and the Decatur and East St. Louis division , was nrgned during yesterday and taken under advisement. At 1 o'clook Judges Jackson and Grcsham convened court and Judge Grcsham said : "Wo think that inasmuch ns the Wnbash property is in the custody of the courts nnd the patties ore all before the court , that the court has authority to prescribe the upnot bid in the decree of sale. Wo have , therefore , determined to outer a decree of that kind , making the bid for the four main lines tha amount of the principal the sum and interest of the indebtedness. Wo have also added thin entry , it being in tended to hereby preserve tlio rights of Compton in tlio relation ho now holds to wards the other creditors : The time of sale will bo four weeks from to day , as agreed , if in ten days the mortgagor docs not appear in court and pay the amount of debt.

( Special Telegram to Tin : BKK.J The Journal says to-night con cerning the dispatch In ttio Chicago Times nnd the Now York Times In rognnl lo tlio I'lgott forgeries ! "A statement was wired , from Now York Wednesday night to the of- feet tlmt the cablegram giving Patrick Egan nml Alexander Sullivan cmlit for exposing and breaking down the cato against Parnoll , was really sent out from the Associated Press office la this rity Instead of from Lon don. " The object of the clnlm wus to woak.cn Messrs. Egnn an Sullivan , nnd make It up * pear that they were trying to gain pollttcii capital by parading tliomsclvos ns tlio bruins and "big guns" of the Irish cnuso. 'i'ho as sistant general inanngar of the Associated Press here , by whom Ifwns said the cable gram in question was written and sent out , at onca entered n vigorous imd cITuutlvo denial of the charge. This morning , however , the story is icltorntcd In the shape of n dispatch from Now York in which It Is suld that tha dis covery of the Pigott forgeries was duo en tirely to Archbishop Walsh , nnd tlmt Sulli van and Egan had merrily solzod upon the opportunity to boom themselves , the Ural for the presidency of the Irish National League of America , and the latter for minister to Mexico or jClilll. A Journal reporter was sent to Mr. Sullivan and that gentleman in replying to questions said : "I have Been the nrttclo. but 1 do not think It worth whllo to p.iy any attention to It or to discuss the mat ter any further th.in to say that the paper which published it has the impuitcnco to say that I refused to givu categorical answers to n number of questions asknd mo. Tlio truth of tlio matter is , a reporter of that paper cumo to my house nt 1:110 : In the morning mid roused mo up to answer his ques tions. Ho told mo that they had received n telegram from Now York making certain assertions , and asked mo what I Imd to say about It. I told him I had not soon the tclcgrmn and could give him no In for mation. Next , morning they published sub stantially what I fluid to their reporter , but yesterday they came out nnd said I refused to answer their questions directly. It now appears that the dispatch did notuomo from Now York at all , but was iminufuctuiod in that otllco mid telegraphed to Now York by the Chicago correspondent of a Now York paper from this city , That shows their good faith in the matter. They allege tlmt I want to bo president of the lo.iguo , when they must know that I have said over and. over mid over again , nnd they published it in their own statement of their interview with mo , that I was not a candidate for that or any other oftlco , nnd would not accept nny. and that I was so situated with my business affairs that I would Imidly bo r.blo even to attend the convention. Now I la. on- thai I will not even be nt the convention , but whether at it or not I would not accept any ofllco whatever , and every frioud of mlno knows that. I ottered that paper to pnv the cost of the cablegrams if they would c.iblo to Mr. Labouchere of the London Truth , ask ing for the facts , and publish his answer. And then they would know If the evidence in question In roimrd to Picott's forgeries was not sent from here by JVlr. Egan and de livered by Father Dorney. In the last num ber of the Truth Mr. Laboucbcro tells the story himself. He says Mr. Egnn discovered it nnd sent it over by n trusted messenger. They have , not sent for the cablegram , pr if they did tho.rcplv'has-uot suited them , as they did not publish it. " AMUSEA1KNTS. There will be no public ringing nf lira bolls next week. "Still Alarms" will bo tho'rule ' , but it will bo just as interesting and exciting to these who go to see the hltchups. Those who visit Boyd's opera house next Monday , Tuesday and Wednesday evenings will prob ably see more thrilling sensations merged into the space of a few seconds than they ever dreamed possible outside of a miracle. "Tho Still Alarm" has had a big success In Now York , Boston and London , and it is ru mored that , so gt'eat t sensation did It create ItLondon last sum mer , and so superior was our system shown to tiioirs , that a sweeping re form has boon instituted in the London flro department. A critic says tlmt "Mr. Lacy lias symbolized in his great performance ) of Jack Manly all the 'dignity , nobleness nnd romanticism in the character of the modern fireman. The performance Is commended to all classes of patrons. The horses and onglao are merely un incident of u glorious play. The 'Still Alarm1 is not n sensational play , but rather a pure , domestic , romantic com edy drama.
