The general elections are over , the social and theatrical seasons are things of the past , and , except for the Goodwood races Tuesday , Wednesday , Thurs day and Friday of next week , London will 1)0 deserted by .the fashionable crowds and Klven over to the humdrum monotony of metropolitan life. Then , again , the splen dor of Goodwood will be somewhat marred by the death of Lady Florence Gordon-Len nox , on account of which her father , the duke of. Hlchmond and Gordon , has closed Goodwood house , where the grand gathering of the high aristocracy takes place. The prince cf Wales has always been the central figure of these parties , but this year , Instead of staying at Goodwood for the race week as usual , the prince will only go there each day and return to town in the evening , f / The queen has removed to OsUorne , Isle of Wight , after a fatiguing tlmo at Windsor castle , where an exceptional number of enter tainments have been given , the pomp and ceremony of which , although distasteful to licr majesty , have to be carried out In every detail , The queen dines usually at 8:45 : , and if the royal party la over sixteen In num ber the service Is In the dining room In the northeast corner of the castle. When the party numbers over forty persons St. George's hall Is used. Behind the queen's chair stands a highland servant and a couple of Indian domestics. The footmen wait In state liveries , while the cellar men and the clerks of the kitchen , who carve at a side table , are also In livery. These functions , which * re always carried out with the most strict formality , never fall to Impress the highest "born guest , The visit of the Italian fleet to Portsmouth last week was followed by the stay of the Spanish squadron at Plymouth , where the Spaniards were treated with the greatest cordiality In accordance with the queen's own Instructions sent to the authorities of Plymouth. A great many Americans , whoso minds run to politics , took advantage of the elections In London to study the manner of conduct ing them , as compared with the American methods. Among the Americans were two who probably know more about elections than any other two men In the United States. One was Ulchard Croker and the other ' Colonel O. O. Steeley of the Louisville Courier-Journal. STUDYING ENGLISH ELECTIONS. All the Americans agreed that the differ- dice between conducting elections In London and In the large cities of the United States Is not as great as might be expected. What they saw simply convinced them that human nature la very much the same everywhere. The lower classes here are controlled very much by the same Impulses as In America. From the little that Mr. Croker saw he la of the opinion that there Is just as much corruption In London as there Is In any American city. "The only dlffe'ence , " said Mr. Croker , "la that the newspapers hero dare not speak of auy corruption. If It existed. I am In clined to bellave that If the papers had the license which the American papers posiess and had as enterprl lng reporters ai our American iiow : papers have there would be Juit as much scandal as Is stlrrei up In the American cities. Many of the New York newspapers slander our country by trying to mak * it appear that wo are more corrupt regarding the use of our elective franchise than any other country. The newspapers , I think , do this simply berauio there U no law to confine them to accuracy of state ment , and , then , It sells the paper , Her * ths press U afraid to speak out even it It was Inclined to. If the American newspaper criticised the methods employed In English elections as much as the English papers criticise our methods I think wo would bene fit by the comparison. I wish to be under stood as not criticising the English elections as not being honestly conducted because there may be some cases of bribery. It would bo Just as great an Injustice for me to do so as for people to claim that Tammany Hall Is corrupt because some follower of It may have been convicted of political cor ruption. The point that I particularly de sire to make Is to repeat that a large part of the American papers make our country out to bo a great deal worse than It is , and do It at a great Injustice In the eyes of the rest of the world. " Continuing. Mr. Croker said : "The liberals seem to lack organization. When In power they worked at crosa purposes , just as the democratic party In the United States did previous to the last election. There was a lack of harmony. The Irish members , hav ing dissensions In their own ranks , naturally did not favorably Impress the British voters with the strength of their cause. The result of tbe elections simply shows the necessity of a thorough organization of the liberals. " Ex-Commissioner John Maxon of St. Louis , speaking of the liberals , said : "Why , It Is a death blow to Irish home rule for years to pome. I take It the result of the elections Is more of a blow to faddlsms In politics than anything else. A party that makes alliances with the racialists and other fanatics must expect defeat. The parties In the United States making alliances with this class of voters ers might profit by the lesson taught by the general election In Great Britain. " Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu setts has been living In comfortable style hero Just off Piccadilly , and within easy reach of some of the great clubs. But the senator would not talk for publication regardIng - Ing British politics , although ho has taken great Interest In the recent elections. Mr. Lodge says ho does not think It Is good taste to talk about the politics of a country you are visiting. Besides , he added , one of his main objects In leaving home was to escape being Interv'ewcd. Senator Lodge w'll remiln In London for about another month and will then go to the continent , returning home In time for the next session of congress. That John Burns , the labor candidate -whs has just been returned to Parliament. Is a shrewd politician Is positively proven by the experiences that a reporter for the Asso ciated press had In Burns' district on elec tion day. On account of the Interest taken In America In Burns' campaign the reporter was sent to write something of It. Burns' lieutenant was soon Informed by his chief that the association that supplies news to the leading American ewspapers had sent a man to "write up the election. " They eagerly circulated the report all over the district. "This shows , " they said , "that the eyes of the world are on John Burns. Ho Is as well known In America as In Bat- tersea , and we have a right to feel proud of him. " lion Timothy Campbell of New York would not display greater political sagacity. GOSSIP OF.THE THEATERS. Mary Anderson ( now Mrs. Navarro ) will soon have her blogrnhy ready and In the hands of the printer. Mrs. Navarro Is never seen at any of the London theaters now. Her fo-mer manager. Henry E. Abbey , slid she had not been Inside a theater since her marriage , and would never do so again. The elections anl the hot weather have given the coup de grace to the theaters for the seaton. With the exception of two theaters , with a possible third , paying audl- enccs have been at a premium. The houses referred to are the Lyceum , Haymarket and ! Adclphm , All other temples of tbe drama j have been compelled to close their doors or be content with diminished business , and In consequence the unemployed thesplans pacing the Strand might form n comparison with those of Union square after tha Fourth of July sends audience * to the watering place ) . The prevailing rumor that Sir Henry Irving on hU coming American tour will In- cluJu Australia In hU Itinerary has been de nied by Bram Stoker , acting manager of the Lyceum. Miss Calhonn lisa accepted an engagement to appear In the new drama at Drury Lane theater in tha autumn. In the meantime this accomplished American actress U enjoy ing her summer vacation In the United Suits. Lady Henry Somerset and Miss Frances Wlllard In a written statement have aiked tbe Associated press to record ths fact "that A blf ? consignment of Umbrellas nnil 1'nrasolH st'tit to us from a Now York importer with Instructions to sell tlinm quick , nntl tills is how wo will olicy his instructions $1 Children's Parasols , 49c.

We offer them $3.89 : . all at one price It Is not true that we have been rebuffed by the government In our attempt to present the polyglot petition , as stated In American papers. We hava not attempted to approach the government at all , but when we do at a more settled period there will be no doubt a courteous reception , as we have half a million and more names of British subjects. ' Those who followed the sad story of Emma Hall , who died In Detroit last winter from the effects of an operation , may be Inter ested In knowing that the family of Hev. Jonathan Bell , her betrayer , and who was deserted by him when he fled from Justice , have been compelled to leave their home In Ulackheath and at public expense seek refuge with relatives. In the meantime Rev. Hell has completely disappeared and the chances are that ho will never be brought to justice. The elaborate preparations which the mem bers of the dramatic profession made for presenting their memorial to Sir Henry Irv ing last Thursday were doDmed to disappoint ment by order of the queen , who chose that day for conferring birthday honors. In consequence quence , the function which had been so much talked about , was deferred until the day after , when Sir Henry had his testimonial from his fellow artists after becoming a veritable knight Instead of one In embryo. DISCUSSING THE SCHOOL QUESTION. The United Kingdom Is discussing the Catholic school question to almost as great an extent as the United States and Manitoba and It Is now slated that in numerous constitu encies Irish Catholics voted for the conserva tive candidates , on the ground that Uie for mer are more favorable to Catholic schools , thli action In some cases affecting the polls. Most of the delegates to the recent Interna tional Hallway congress have returned here from a tour of Ireland , where they were grandly treated. Colonel Henry S. Halnes , president of the American Hallway associa tion and vice president of the Plant system , was spokesman for the Americans and scored -a tremendous hit In a speech which he made at Oalway , which city Is making a great effort to Induce large ships to call there. So when Colonel Halnes said that the American delegates felt at home In Galway the Galway men went wild with delight and called the gallant colonel an American Daniel O'Con- nell. , , Some of the newspapers hero are making merry over the Chicago common council's bill regulating the dress of blcyclUts and made sarcastic references to the "ealntllness of Chicago. " Referring to the subject the Globe asks If this Is the result of Mr. William T. Stead's denunciation * of Chicago's morals. The St. James Gazette , commenting on the same sub ject , says : "Public morals must be pro- terved , especially in moral Chicago. " Since several prominent Americans were arrested at "Woman's Club" the other night the other Americans of prominence In the city are almost afraid to go about after mid night , and yesterday evening there was i panic among the Americans In the Contl nental hotel restaurant because the police en tered. * Th9 officers only wanted to see If the- place closed on time , but the American ! thought a raid was Imminent. Adellna Pattt has given a couple of per formances during the past week at Cralg-y- Nos. her castle In Wales , of a pantomime piece entitled "Mlrka , the Enchantress , " tak ing the title role and appearing as an act ress , vocalist'and dancer. INTEUESTED4N THE COLUMBIA. Considerable Interest Is taken about Hamp ton and elsewhere In the speed which the United States steamer Columbia Is now mak ing acrois the Atlantic , having silled for New York at 12:30 : p. m. i Mr. A. J. Drexel's steam yacht has been I at Southampton some days past , arriving i there frcm an extensive cruise In the Medlt- 1 crranean and the North seas. She will call for Now York on August 10. Mr. Suydam Palmer's schooner yacht Yampa. which cap sized In the dry docks at Fay'a yard , South ampton , on July 12 , killing one man , h a been righted and is now being repaired. Mr. Palmer hid trouble with a cus'.cms officer , who confiscated all the wine , clgjra and provi sions on the Yampa , Ou the other hand , Mr. Drexel , by the uie of a little diplomacy , suc ceeded In Inducing the customs otllcerg to leave the Margarita alone. Two eminent London specialists have been 18 Southampton In order to examine an Amer- lean woman , Miss Lena Howard ct Malone , N. Y. . who seem * to have lost her reason while on her way across tbe Atlantic. She U now confined In a private asylum for the In sane at Southampton. She Is very violent sometimes. Her cousin , who Is staying with her , thinks that Miss Howard's derangement Is due to a fright which she experienced in New York upon a certain occasion when she nearly run over a child while out driving. The two London specialists , who have just seca her , made an unfavorable report upon her condition. The matron at the asylum , however , yesterday said Miss Howard was somewhat better. The American line steamship St. Louis , which arrived at Southampton on Thursday last , had a miserable voyage. Her passen- gero hardly once saw the sun while on the way across the Atlantic and the steamship waa compelled to lie outsldo the Needles , off the Isle of Wight , nlno hours In the fog. During the voypgo ono of the seamen went mad and had to bo watched. He was given In charge of his brother , who took him to his homo In Ireland. One of the steerage passengers also became cranky during the voyage and threatened to attack the captain and officers. He was placed In confinement. A dinner given by Mr. Hodman Wana- maker of Philadelphia recently In a fashlon- able restaurant In the Hols de Boulogne Is the talk of Paris and of the American colony In this city. There were twenty-two guests. Including Counts Bryas and Chaselles and Baron Suylen do la Hochefoucald and several other titled personages. The feast was ar ranged regardless of expense. Each diner was served with a whole leg of mutton and u whole salmon , a trufllcd fowl and a double magnum of champagne , etc. A separate car riage waa provided to convey each guest to and from the feast , and after the dinner two waiters brought In a bag , from which the guests drew out sleeve buttons , cigar cases , scarfplna , etc. , as souvenirs of the dinner.

He put his trust In a frail creature and ho is now mourning the loss of ? C and several moro dollars worth of prop erty. Th gay deceiver , who Is of the feminine 'gender , Is Jailed , however , and Ful ler is obtaining as much comfort from that fact as his perturbed spirits will permit him. Fuller says his trouble was all caused because his heart was In the right place. He had no more Idea of becoming a victim than he had of hoelnf ; corn with his teeth. He JULt came to the' 'city from his farm In South Dakota with the Intention of lookIng - Ing about the world abit. . But the visit was pregnant with fate. , One evening , several , days ago , Fuller was taking a promenade through Jefferson square when he was gently . ' , accgsted by fair Llllle Matsen. He was attracted by the fair Lil lian and ho soon discovered that the at traction was mutual flcfpUs. the fact that he was 50 years of ago , nnd the girl only "JO. Thereupon they walked together. The sur roundings being favorable to mutual con- fldencea. Lilly related tojior new found friend that she had been betrayed , and that she was trying hard to plant1 her feet again on the plane of respectability : and might be in duced to accept a llltlo-ialil. - At this stage Fuller's good heart f'gVrt" ' In Its work. Ho told Lillian that he HkW'her very much ami that if she was willing1'he ' would take her on his farm na a houMeKeefier. H offered to buy her some clothes a'nrt give her a little money to get some thlngrf for herself. This was exactly the snap that Lilly was looking for. Nevertheless , she''accepted $6 very re- luctantly. but promised to meet Fuller at the depot on the next day. When the time arrived fair Lillian was at the depot , but there she balked. She did not believe she would like the humdrum life of a farm , but before leaving she would willingly accept a little more aid. George waa struck dumb and before he recovered from his surprise Lilly disappeared and with her she took a trunk full of clothes that George had bought for her. Then Fuller sought aid of the police The police have been looking for Lilly over since , but did not succeed In finding her un til last night , when she was picked up on fhe streets by Detectives Hayes anil Hudson.

Mall Clerk Murray Churned with llol.liliiK ( lie Mull * . Postofllce Inspectors Sinclair and Beebe came In from the west last night and with them they brought Felix Murray , who for thirteen years has handled the mall on the Elkhorn road. Murray was charged with robbing the United States mail and lodged In the county jail until he can have a hear ing , which will probably be tomorrow before a United States commissioner. For years letters containing money have been lost In transit between Missouri Valley , la. , and Long Pine , this state. Any number of detectives have tried to locate the guilty man , but each time without success. Within the past six months the stealings have been carried on with a high hand and It Is es timated that hundreds of dollars sent to the northern portions of Nebraska have been taken , much of It being on the way to the relief of parties who lost their crops last season. It was known that many letters sent to Mrs. Broaddus and C. C. Pond of Ewing never reached their destination. Complaints were filed with the postal depart ment and Inspectors Sinclair and Bcobo were detailed to work up the case. For weeks they sent out decoy letters , containing marked bills. Sometimes these letters reached their dstlnatlon and some times they did not. U was soon noticed that the .decoy letters sent to EwliiK and handled by Murray were never accounted for. This gave the officers a clew and Friday morning they decided to play a desperate game. Murray was to take the mall car from Missouri Valley , making the run to Long Pine. Writing two letters to Imaginary persons at Ewing , they placed a $5 bill In ere and a $10 bill in the other , marking lliem both. The Inspectors took thiee letters to the postotflce at Missouri Valley and eaw then enclosed In the pouch , after which they followed the mall to the train and saw It put Into Murray's car. This having been done , they went back Into the coach to await developments. Some time before reaching Ewing the two Inspectors went Into the mall car , exhibited their let ters of authority and demanded the keys to the Ewing pouch. Murray was someyhat re luctant In handing them over , but finally consented. The mall was sorted over , but neither of the letters could be found. The officers then demanded that Murray explain the disappearance of tbo two letters. Seeing that he was caught , ho drew them from his pocket and handed them over. Both had been opened and the money extracted. Mur ray was at once ro'.levcd from duty and placed under arrest. Felix Murray until a few months ago was considered one of HIP most reliable mall clerka In the torvlce , ai'd at one time was a prominent candidate for the position of chief clerk of the Omaha division of the railway mall service. He is married and has a wlfo and two children , residing at Missouri Valley. MI3UTIX ( ! OK TIII3 MllllAltY JtOAUI ) . All of tli < > Olil Olllorrx IJiiiiiilinniiNly Ile-KlrrttMl for Another Your. At the regular monthly meeting of the directors of the Public library last evening Clement Chase , the newly appointed di rector , entered upon his duties. All the other directors were also In attendance. The present officers of the library board were all unanimously re-elected for tbo ensuing year as follows : President , Lewis S. Heed ; vice president , William Wallace ; secretary , Frank L. Haller. The annual reports of the presi dent , secretary and librarian were submitted to tbo board. A communication from William Cleburno of Omaha , offering to donate to the library his collection of fossils , with certain minor conditions , was received , and the offer was accepted , the executive committee being di rected to take charge of the transfer of the collection. A resolution of thanks to Mr. Cleburne was adoptel. A resolution of thanks to Dr. Horace Lud- Ington for the assistance rendered by him In arranging the coins In the Byron Heed col lection was also passe. ) . President Heed was authorized to rcpre- lent the membership of the library at the coming meeting of the American Library association at Denver. The monthly report of the librarian and the routine approval of bills constituted the re mainder of tbe business transacted. AKIAMI HIS SOLID SUVJSN. Tlicr CniK'iiN unit Dcrlnrc Votinu for Miirhlc. If an agreement , which has been reached by eight members of the Board of Education counts for anything , the members who are still hoping for the re-election of Dr. Marble as superintendent of schools will have to again feel the bitterness of disappointment. It is reliably stated that eight of the nlno members who voted for Mr. Cooper have In dulged In a quiet llttlo caucus , at which the oath of Ironclad opposition to Marble was ro- takcn and made binding for all time. Colonel Akin and seven of his adherents have sworn that they will never vote for Marble under any circumstances , and they are only waiting for an eligible candidate who may bj ( willing to profess sympathy with their methodd to toss him their eight votes and the election. That they will bo able to carry out the program Is disputed by their opponents. The latter declare that the eight men will never ba able to agree for the second tlmo on a candidate , and that with their six votes solid they will cut a good deal of a swath before the matter Is finally settled. The last agreement of the eight members not to vote for Marble was the result of an Impression that has been going out for a couple days past that ono or two of the men who have opposed him were becoming tlrad of the horse play of their colleagues and wore showing signs of weakness. The pledge Is expected to act as a sort of backbone for the suspected members and keep them In line with the combine. IIOTII IIIUIIM ) T1II3 1IA11S. Tvro PCI-MOHM ClmrKcil AVlth TakliiK Itorki-rinim'N Money. Proprietor Barrs of the Union hotel and Lulu Wllcox are behind the bars on the charge of grand larceny. They are sup posed to be connected In some way with the missing $52 which Henry Bockerman lost at the Union hotel on Thursday night. They both deny that they had anything to do with taking the money and have threatened to make It warm for Bockorman If he does not drop the prosecution. Lulu Wilcox has a record , and It IB charged that several weeks ego she robbed a business man of Lincoln. Whllo he was Intoxicated ihe persuaded him to accom pany her to Waverly. They went to a hotel , and in the middle of the night Lulu flew , and with her went some J200 of the business man's money. She boarded a freight train , but was captured. The case was never prosecuted , because the girl's uncle , who Is a Lincoln detective , refunded the money , and because the business man was not desirous of the notoriety that would attach to him in case ho did prosecute. Mr. W. M. Barr , manager of the Union hotel , denies the statements made In the evening papers about Henry Bockerman being relieved of $52 while a guest at his hotel. I.OOAI , IllliVlTII3H.
