8 TKB OMAHA DAILY BEE. SUNDAY , . APHID 28 , 1880.SIXTEEN PAGES , HOWARD AS A BUSINESS ST. The IJlR Blocks Mot All On There Is n mistaken idea which pre vails to nn unwnrrnntnblo extent , that nil the Inrgo stocks of goods and genu ine bargains must bo found within the charmed circle of half a dozen blocks in the BO-callcd center of the city. To satisfy himself of the true condition of nfTnirs , n representative of this paper visited n few of the business houses lo cated on the side street ? of the city , An agreeable surprise was mot nt every turn. These same side streets are sup plied with good stocks of well chosen goods. A little investigation disclosed the fact that there is moro difference in men than in stocks in n comparison with other streets. Many business Jhouscs were found whoso shelves were well filled with choice goods but whoso owners from lack ot n thorough knowledge of tholr business or want of proper enterprise nro dyeing of dry rot and nro always enylng , "On , if I were just somewhere else1 instead of letting folks know where they were nnd what they had to Boll. But thank fortune the business men of these streets nro not nil of this kind. On Howard street near 17th n cnr load of gasoline stoves on the side walk made nn encouraging sign of thrift nnd trndo within. Justinsldo the door the proprietor WUH intelligent ly showing up the qualities of n Quick Monl gasoline stove. The superior qualities of this stove were made so ap parent under his skillful manipulation that the most skeptical must ac knowledge them. Eight years ago a representative of this paper predicted that the proprietor of this store , then a young man just nuoning a small hard ware business , would in time own n brick block and command a largo trade. This prediction has been verified. This gentleman now owns n three-story brick nnd has ono of the finest stocks of hardware , tinware , cook stoves , gaso line stoves , ranges , refrigerators nnd hoxtorsin ! _ Omaha. In company with the proprietor , a tour of the establish ment was made , disclosing n splendid stock of goods. Ills stock occupies a largo store room , besides two base ments , 20x70 feet , the whole establish ment being chock full of ranges , re frigerators , cook stove , heaters , gasoline stoves , ots. The entire stock is kept in first-class or der , nnd will surprise nny visitor by its completeness and volume "Last year , " said the proprietor , "whilst no less than 13 stove dealers failed in this city , owing to enormous rents and the lack of staying qualities in their goods. I sold 223 of those Quick Meal gasoline Btovos , one of which you saw mo sell to that lady at the door , 123 of the round oak heating stoves , 60 homo comfort wrought iron ranges and 70 Cass cook stoves and ranges , besides the usual vol ume of other trade. "You boo , " contin ued he , "I do not pay rcntandlbuy only the boot goods , and those which have been tried. I have sold my htoves for years. You can find them in the homos of the best people of Omaha , and every one of them is a standing advertisement for my stoves and my storo. I make my Business a study , and as far as possible , master it. I know just what my stoves will do , nnd am therefore not nfraid to speak boldly of their superi ority , and I can refer you to any in telligent customer of mine who has purchased a round oak heater , a homo comfort range" , or n Quick Meal stove , nnd allow you to visit them alono. " A short conversation and a little observa tion brought the conviction that this gentleman was thoroughly posted in all that pertains to his business nnd that ho understands the articles ho sells. Just stop and think what this means to you who buy a cook stove , a range or a gasoline stove in particular. You know nothing about what any of thorn will do. You" are at the mercy of the dealer. If ho is unscrupulous you are sold in every sense of the word. But nn intelligent dealer , whoso goods are tried and guaranteed by ono who is responsible you can buy with confidence. The entry of n bevy of ladies in quest of gasoline stoves put an end to a pleasant visit. At the risk of his displeasure the name of this popular business man , who is as modest ns ho is successful , is givon. A visit to his store at 1021 Howard street will convince any person that n good stock and n business carried on on bus- ness principles can bo found on a side Btreot. Call in some day , and if Mr. W. E. Stoot/ol , the proprietor , treats you as royally as ho did his visitor yesterday , you will not regret it. Auction , Auction.

MANAGER LiAWIiBR'S LATEST. The Black \VliltcT\vlna Found at lopeka , IC.1IIHU4. Will Lawlor , manager of the Eden Musco , is always on the search for something interesting in the way of freaks and attractions for his popular place of amusement , and ho generally succeeds. Lawlor's latest is n pair of twinsone of which is pure white and the other jet black. This is regarded as the greatest freak in existence. The twins will bo on exhibition at the Muboo for one week beginning to-mor row. Speaking of his ronrirknblo find to a Bui : representative , Manager Lawlor said : "Well , when t was in Topcka with the Barnum show some years ago , I heard about n wonderful pair of twins somewhere in the city , but I had no time to look them up. I heard about them again several weeks ago and concluded , to run over and BOO them , which I did , and found them more of n curiosity than I expected. One of the twins is n boy , black as coal , the other u beautiful little girl with snow white hair and pink eyes ; a per fect Albino , and the only case on rpcord where an Albino has boon born of colored parents. The father and mother of the twins are both very dark , the father being several shades darker than the mother. Tlio children are both bright , smart and handsome , and I am naturally elated in being the first ono to put them on exhibition. When I went to the house tlio fast time to got the children , there was a largo gather ing of colored people , seemingly deter mined to keep me from taking the children. Ono man threatened to "shoot a largo hole through ino , " as lie said , and another man had a paving stone with which ho said ho would knock out my oyos. I finally made ray o&capo with the mother and children , while the men in the party wore having free-for-all themselves. a - - fight among The windows in the hack wore broken , but that was all the damage done and I consider that I got off with my usual luck. The colored beoplo seemed to think I was going to take the children back into slavery again. "This incident forcibly reminds mo of a similar occurrence which happened in 1884 , when I was on my way to the world's fair at Now Orleans. Like many others , I started for Louisiana with a big com puny , and ono night at Baloxi , Miss. , I was informed by the local manager that as soon as our show was oyer the colored people wore going to have a church festival and ball in the same room. The principal feature of the afternoon , however , was n "cnko walk , " a ring being placed in n largo cake which was on exhibition. The colored Romeos , each with his blushing Juliet , appeared when the lloor was cleared , and marching around the room , seeing which could walk the prottic&t. 1 being a stranger and the manager of the "white men" show , was chosen as tho-judgo. and awarded the prize to a very handsome mulatto girl , as graceful as she was pretty. Unknown to mo , unfortunately , it seemed that her reputation was not such as C.-usor wanted his wife to possess , and when my decision was rendered n "kick" was nuulo by nearly every ono in the hall. The cake was destroyed and the more boislrous of the party wanted some of my gore. I gradually worked my way to the staircubo leading to the band bland on the second lloor. Once there , I murmured "Now I lay mol1' and jumped. The ground being soft. I was uninjured , and I ran for a big lumber yard near the hall , whore I remained for several hours , when I rejoined my companions nt tha hotel , who were won- doridg what had become af mo. . WOMEN PAST THIRTY. They Arc iho Most IntorcHtluj ; In Amnricii and Outrival the Hilda. "The buds , " says Rustan , "nro a nine days' woiulornnd are much talked of for that space of time , but it is the women past thirty who are the most interesting In America , They socm to have the gift of eternal youth , and at fifty are more tigrcuablo-loking than the women of any other country. * ' Miss Helen Buckwith , of this city , is among the women past thirty who quito hold their own against the debutantes , writes a Now York correspondent. She is thirty-eight , nnd Is not only very rich , but very beautiful , and so fascinating that she attracts more atten tion from men than the younger women. Mine. Barrio3tho widow of the Into President of Guatemala , is thirty and has bevoii children , but she holds a little court where admirers throng , nnd worship , metaphorically , ut her feet. Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts is another beautiful woman past thirty , and the list might bo indefinitely lengthened. Tlio vyomon-killers of Europe who have come over hero have shown n con spicuous preference for these elderly beauties. Mnrlborough , who spent a season at Newport , snubbed nil the young fry there , though they resolutely placed themselves In his way , and chose to upend hlHtimo with Mrs. Paran Stevens , dashing nnd forty , nnd other veteran belles. ; nnd other men of wit nnd iporn.ls lit jo done the same thing.

Wonderful nnd Animin I'lnytlilncn Soon to bo Put Out , Now York Special : "Tho phonograph graph promises to ntTord as much ro- crontion to children as it does interest to grown folks , " so said M. P. Handy , the European manager of the great cor poration which now controls the phonograph graph and graphophono industry. "You have hoard of the phonographic doll if you have not ns yet seen onebut unless you have scon" it you can form no idea of how naturally and charming ly it talks , laughs , cries and sings. This is the first atop in a long line of phonographic graphic toys upon which our inventors nro now at work. When those are put upon the market they will create a , wonderful sensation. Among thorn may bo mentioned phonographic animals. These are toys made out of paper - macho , paste board , composition and other material , each and all of which are strong and durable. Each animal con tains in his interior a phonograph which when sot in motion produces all the natural cries of the original. There is a cat that purrs , meows , spits and caterwauls in the most approved style ; a horse that neighs and wiiinnies ; a'dog that barks , bnaps and howls , and n sheep that bleats in n way that would deceive the mother owe. By using a moga- phonic attachment the amount of noise may bo increased to any desired extent. Much more interesting1 nro tlio phonographic graphic birds ; wo have secured the melodies of the lark , the I'nnet , finch , robin and canary bird , and can repro duce thorn indefinitely. With canary birds the success is notable. Wo have preserved in metal the entire repertoire of a number of the finest bred and and highest priced birdsMn tlio market , and by combining the song of two or throe into ono whole we have an arti ficial canary that will outsing any natural ono whatever. The phonographic orchestra and the phonographic graphic miniature theater are also novelties to bo soon produced. In the former a band of little images dressed up in glaring military colors is seated on the stage as in some great concert or stood around a drum-major as on n par- ado. The moment the phonograph is sot _ going each little musician movoj his hands and instruments in the nat ural style , while the cylinder inside re produces the music of a full orchestra with startling fidelity. In the theater wo can reproduce all the spoken parts of the play. "Another novelty that is half a toy and half a luxury will bo a great boon to nil mothers whoso young children insist on being sung to before going to sleep. It is n phonograph into which a lady has sung her best songs at her leisure and which is placed near the crib or cradle. A mere touch upon a spring starts the machinery and gives the child as much music as ho or she may want. A singular feature of the phonograph is the fact that if the speed of the mechanism bo increased the pitch of the voice it reproduces is heightened , and , on the other hand , if it bo slow the pitch is lowered. At the same time the character of the voice is not changed in the least. This odd pe culiarity enables a man to hear how his voice would sound if ho had been born a high tenor like Cnmpanini or iho young girl if she had boon born a basso- profundo. " FALKS CuiiTlS. A daughter of the late Dr. Franklin A. Ellis , is on her way to Now Bedford to claim the fortune her father loft nt his death , which occurred in Nuntuckot fout years ago. Dr. Ellis was n dashing young adven turer in 1859 , and ho journeyed through the south , teaching school at ono time and practicing dentistry at another. Finally ho married the daughter of a Tennessee planter. At the outbreak of the war the plantation and slaves wore sold and Ellis and his wife wont to Illinois. There , it is alleged , Ellis abandoned his wife , coining east with the proceeds of the sale of his wife's property. In 18(12 ( Ellis turned up in Nantuckct , where ho commenced to practice under the name of Dr. Augustus Franklin Hero he became engaged to a young lady of the town , but as the wedding day approached , ho suddenly disap peared , returning about the year 1870 and resuming his practice , under the family name of Ellis. Ho died in 1885 nnd loft an estate of about $30,000which was divided among three sisters , liv ing at Munson , .In this state , and Or ange , N. J. Meanwhile the deserted wife had given birth to a daughter , with whom she returned to Tontiossoo. where she eventually married n second time , The fninily returned to Alabama , where the daughter was at length Uiscovercd. The principal witnessrtn the case is n western man named Cleveland , who traveled with Ellis in the south , and claims to have witnessed the marriage. Ellis' will provided tnaftho residue of his estate , nftor paying u few minor bequests - quests , should go to "his hoirs-at-law , " without Bpocifying who they were. Allen Coflln , the administrator , has at tached the property of the sisters for his own protection. The case will bo tried nt Tnuntou. Colonel Sliepnnl'i ) Modesty.

TWO WEt-L INFORMED MEN Ono Wan Gi.-or o Gould nnd Another WAR n Itrnkcmati nn Ills Road. A few dnvs ngo , hnpponing in the Grand Central Station , I saw n young man leaning against n car brake chat ting In the most cordial way to n brakeman - man , writes the Now York correspond ent of the Boston Globe. The employe were the uniform of servitude : b4g smutty gloves were on his hnnds. his blue coat was darned that it might last n few weeks longer , and the brass but tons had been polished almost smooth by constant service. His pay was $50 a month. The young man who chatted with him was a black-eyed , faint-mustaohod chap , with skin bronzed like an Arab's and tooth that glistened like an opera singer.
