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.

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.

Newport , snubbed nil the young fry

PHONOGRAPHIC TOYS.
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 , "

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. Ho were n brown overcoat , a
brown derby hat and trowsers of lighter
color , and his arm was hooked about n
good-sized bundle done up with a news
paper. Ho was well dressed , but well
dressed because neatly but inconspicu
ously drosbcd. Ho were no gloves , and
there was an ink stain upon the fore
finger of the right hand. Now iho
brnkonmn was Johnny , or Billy , or
Tommy somebody , and the young man
who chatted with him was George
Gould.
The br.akeman received less in a year
than young Gould makes in n day. But.
so far us appearances wont , the two
young men had found a common level
and met on it. Gould was learning
something from a man who know more
about some details of running railroads
than ho did , and the brakeman so far
was the bettor man of the two , and
Gould lot him know that his superiority
was acknowledged. By and by , when
the chat ended , Gould sauntered away ,
like a man who had mot an old friend ,
nnd the brakeman took up his duties
like a man who had met another on even
