In many English papers , especially those
which claim to circulate among tlic aristoc
racy , may be "cn advertisements of the
"Matrimonial Herald and Fashlonnblo Mar-
rlngc Gazette. " This Is the crgan ot "The
World's Of cat Marring ? Association , Lim
ited , " which haa been duly registered aa a
limited liability company under acl of Par.-
llament , and his been tstablUl.od for more
than twelve year * . The Garctto does not , In
the natural course of things , expect perma
nent subscribers , tor t.cither man nor woman ,
however nrislocrallc or wealthy , cares about
being nl.vays getting tmrrlcd ; but the ad
vertisement sots forth that the price of n
B'nRlo copy Is the moJost sum of 3 pence ,
nnd that It will be forwarded In nn envelope
so as t ? look like a lottur for 5 pnce.
Thl irecautlon Is doubtless necessary to
provt-n. aristocratic households generally , and
especially the servants , from learning the
mcaoB by which a "marriage has been ar
ranged , " as the Morning Post puts It , be
tween the Honorable Udlth Vcrc De Vcro and
John Wallaby , 1'iq , , of New South Wales ,
or between the duke of Strawbeny Hill and
Miss Mamie Van dor Tiomp , the lovely
daughter of the famous American million
aire. When the 5 pcnco has been dispatched ,
carefully adilresssj to "The Editor , 101 New
Oxford Street , " by whom all communications
are regarded as "strictly confidential , " the
next post brings a bulky envelope , In which
Is ] folded up a Jourml of twenty-four pages
In a green cover the color of hope nnd mat
ing spring and human v nlancy crammed
full of matrimonial advertisements
Here are examples of a few applicants.
The IIrut Is a "young woman" of "ampls
means , " who wishes to marry a "mlddle-
ngcd , or even elderly , gentleman , whom she
can thoroughly look up to and respect. "
The next Is a gentleman with prospects ,
who Is "very kind and loving , of good ap
pearance nnd family. " The third Is n
"graceful and highly accomplished Roman
Catholic widow , with 1,000 per annum. "
The fourth Is a Welsh young lady of for
tune , who wishes to marry n "good-looking ,
Jieiltliy young ; Welshman ot good moral
character. " The proverbial scarcity of good
moral characters In Wales possibly accounts
for this advertisement.
WHIRI : MONHY is NO OUJCCT.
Proceeding down the list we find a "young
but distinguished foreign naval officer , " who
wants an "accomplished lady of British
birth , " money no object. A "mlddle-oged ,
well-preserved , and accomplished widow of
ample fortune" and a "well-connected maiden
lady of quiet habits and fair fortune , " a
"foreign heiress of considerable wealth and
a talented linguist , " will each be satisfied
by getting an Kngllsh "gentleman ; " but a
' "rich wldon with one child , who moves In
high class , ssclety , " stipulates that the gen
tleman must possess a "military figure. "
Among the male applicants In the next two
pages , all classes are leprasented , for we
find a "smart business man , " a "medical
gentleman In largo practice , " a "master
bricklayer , " a "retired colonel , " a "parish
clerk ( widower ) , " a "lieutenant In the Royal
navy , " a "clergyman of the Church of Eng
land , " a "Justice of the peace , " a "stationer
and fancy shopkeeper , " a "retired butcher , "
a "merchant , " an "archdeacon , " a "butler , "
a "barrister , " a "sonvot n peer , " a "coach
man , " and a "foreign prince , " besides a largo
number ot "gentlemen , " all desirous of
matrimony , for the most part with young ,
amiable , tall , and good looking ladles with
more or lss moans.
The female advertisers are much the more
numerous , nnd on paper appear to be n
more attractive class. Very few are with
out means , the majority claim to be good-
looking , and almost all are loving. One
young lady Is an "American heiress with
out relatives , " and all that she stipulates
for as a sine qua non after marriage Is a
"periodical .residence or stay In Scotland "
The pioposltlon of widow * Is so largo as to
EUggsat that on the whole marriage Is not
regarded as a failure by those of the sex
who have tried It , while the number of ad
vertisements from "middle-aged but attrac
tive maiden Indlos , " or from "middle-aged
spinsters with means , " shows that the
Matrimonial Herald and Fashionable Mar
riage Gazette supplies a want among that
class of unappropriated blessings who seen :
to form the majority of residents In Bnglls"
suburban villas and boarding houss.
ATTRACTIVE ADVERTISEMENTS.
Among the advertisements which arc , for
one reason or another , remarkable , we may
note that of a wealthy widow who describes
herself as possessing among other attrnc
tlonp , "a really superb figure , " nnd a large
number of notices from mothers or guard
tans of "marriageable heiresses" who wish
to open negotiations for the disposal o
their wares to suitable applicants. In thesi
advertisements wo cannot help suspecting
Interested motives , for doubtless mothers or
guardians of heiresses whoso money Is se
curely tied up before marriage will be able
to make advantageous terms for themselves
with needy adventurers on the businesslike
footing of newspaper advertisement. Then
possibly , the suitor Is Introdncnl to the
heiress In a casual way , and when , with every
encouragement and assistance from the
mother , ho succeeds In winning the girl , he
hands over her share cf the tipoll to the fond
parent. Widows , on the other hand , appeal
from their advertisements well able to look
after their own Interests , and display n
mock modesty In describing their charms
Seme are "clover and vivacious , " others
"cheerful nnd domesticated , " others "hand
some and highly connected , " ( epithets vvhlcli
Hcem always to run In the eame couples ) , bul
i > ? n ? are broken-hoirtcd. Nearly all of them
have means and good figures , as well as very
clear Ideas of the kind of man they want for
No. 2 or possibly No. 3.
The following are common types of adver
tisements :
The young ; and highly nccompllshed
daughter of nn American millionaire de-
nlre to contract an early aristocratic mar
riage. A title ( English If possible ) Is pre
ferred , but U not essential. Menus a sec
ondary consideration , but ancestry Is a
ulno cma non , Ample settlements. Address
with rtlttni.
Matrimony An early but thoroughly arls
tocratle matrimonial alliance. Is nought by
the attractive and only daughter of un
American millionaire , who will respond
generously with respect to settlements. In
uaao of a suitable engagement. A Ilrltlsh
tltlo Is preferred , but a distinguished or
well-descem'pd foreign nobleman not ob
jected to. Address Ambitious , under cover
to l&lltor , 1UJ New Oxford Street , Ixmdon ,
W. C.
The reasons given by some applicants for
desiring marriage are often curiously Inade
quate , A pretty girl of 2. , with 2,000 a year
In her own right , wants a husband who llvea
in London , becauto nhe Is "tired of a quiet
country llto , " while ono cannot help thinking
that there must be something wrong about
the "several young heiresses" with the or-
langemcnt of whose future tlio cJllor of the
Gazette claims to have hern Intruded. Ho
keeps their photographs , n ? doubt , with In
ventories of their charms and their fortunes
In a drawer for eligible gentlemen to pick
and chooss from. There Is comme-clil sim
plicity , at any rate. In this method ot dis
posing ot young helretWB.
WOULD TUUN THE TABLES.
The success of the English nobility In se
curing wealthy American matches ban evi
dently tired the ambition of their woman
hood , for "a Udy of title , pretty , kind , and
fend of entertaining , with a nice estate and
good social connections , " would like to meet
u wcilthy American gentleman with a view
to matrimony. Wha "Mrs. Sedden" maybe
bo 1s not specified , but "young professional
gentlemen just starting In life" might do
wona for themselves than by writing to
her , cir of "the eJltor , " In Oxford otreet ,
for she has "four accomplished young ladles ,
each of whom will have a fortuneto dls-
} oi > o ? ,
Among the applicants from this aide are
B retiring California wine grower , who wants
a "bright , affectionate , muslo.il young and
pretty lady" to retire with ; a cotton raiser
tn Kentucky , who wants a healthy English
< lrl of cheerful manner * to come out to
him , and others of the same kind. While
the market for English maidens seems brisk
all over the world , applicants data from
South Africa , India , Natal , Germany , Cape
Town , Rouen , Vienna , Florence , Coolgardlc ,
Herlln , Cannes , Lisbon nnd Peking. The sup
ply , however , seems equal to the demand ,
nnd there runs through almost all the trans
actions an unpleasant flavor of the slave
mnrt. In one case the dimensions of the
Klrl's waist are given ( by herself ) ; In an
other a "thoroughly domesticated and Intel
ligent young heiress" Is offered by her
guardians Jis likely to make an "excellent
v\fo" ! for a "foreign gentleman. " The
"countess of , " who describes herself ns
"young nnd charming , possessed ot consider
able present nnd prospective wealth , " ought
U have no difficulty In realizing her am
bition In a "thorough English gentleman , "
nnd the "guardians of two young English
helressoss" will have nn embarrassing choice
among the "foreign gentlemen of title , " to
whom they with to tell th ? girls , whllo the
board ot managers ot the Marriage associa
tion , limited , should be able to do good busi
ness wllh the "young English heiress of re-
n.urlialjle personal attractions nnd consider-
nble wealth , " whom It has on commission
sale to the highest bidder. "
MANY ARE BOGUS
H might he suggested tint the foregoing
advertisements , which have been selected
almost at haphax-ird from many hundreds
of similar ones , are mostly of n bogus char
acter , but the "World's Great Marriage as
sociation , limited , " places the authenticity
of Its matrimonial transactions beyond doubt
In the paprs which accompany the copy
of the Gazette , which It forwards to each
remitter of flupcnca In stamps One ot
these papers calls Itself "a few extracts from
many thousands ot recent letters ot thanks
and announcements ot engagements and mar
riages" effected through IN agency. All
the extracts nro dated "ISO , " nnd presum
ably , thsrefore , five years nre covered by
the word "recent , " but even so , the record
Is truly remarkable , and It Is placed beyond
suspicion by the certificate of a firm ot
well known chartered accountants , who act
.is nudltcrs to the association , nnd certify
that the e.xtiacts are genuine.
The tending extracts nre from "an English
lady of title. " who negotiated her sister's
marriage ; an "heiress of high social stand
ing , who married Into the peerage , and who
was given awny upon her marriage by nn
English duke ; " from an "English peer , "
from a number of sons of English peers ,
from many clergymen , some In the United
States ; from country gentlemen , barristers ,
high government officials , heiress's cf all
kinds , nrmy officers , magistrates , shipown
ers , colonial judges , and so on , down to
artisans , gardeners and farmers' daughters.
All of this correspondence concludes In the
same way , to-wlt , that the marriage having
been satisfactorily arranged , the association's
commission of will bo forthwith remit
ted. Herein , ol course , lies the ) kernel of
the matter.
The association does not place wealthy nnd
pretty heiresses In the arms of needy gen
tlemen of good social standing , and so on ,
without a handsome consideration , and there
Is no hint In any of the papsrs forwarded
as to how much or how little " " may
m ° an. This , however , Is a matter that con
cerns the association and Its clients ; what
concerns humanity and civilization generally
Is the fact that girls are undoubtedly sold
to , or at any rate placed In the way of ,
mon requiring special ties In the matrimo
nial line , and the worst feature of the busl-
nes Is the free use which the guardians of
heiresses make of the association's adver
tising columns to dispose of their wards.
VERY LIKE A SLAVE MART.
Heiresses do not grow upon blackbsrry
bushes , and n family of young and good
looking girls , all possessed of means , cannot
have any difficulty In getting married In
the ordinary course of things. The only
apparent motive , therefore , which their
guardians can have In cataloguing the young
ladles' attractions for public sale Is the op
portunity which It gives them of sharing
the spoils. '
On the other hand there Is published tha
opinion of a "well known American clergy
man , " who writes : "Please be assured that
I shall send to any others ( especially In the
United States ) , as I have in the past , your
address , and hope to help what I consider to
be a philanthropic Institution. " Viewed In
tome lights , the assoc'atlon's operations may
he regarded ns Incidentally philanthropic.
The spinster , slowly withering In her stalk ,
may have the- makings ot an excellent wife
for a mlddlcaged bachelor , whom she might
never meet In ordinary life , but , by adver
tising In the Gazette , she Is placed tn pos
session of the photographs and other particu
lars concerning a certain number of gentle
men who , for one reason or another , are
willing to take her as she lsvor , rather , as
oho describes herself. The transaction maybe
bo bona fide from beginning to end and 10-
sult In brlchtenlnc two lonely lives , which
would otherwise have- gone down the grade ol
life dull and wretched.
Even young and pretty girls , without
dowers , have difficulty often In finding hus
bands , nnd to such the pages of the Gazette
present many advertisements from men ,
young and old , rich and poor , In all parts
of the world , who seek the companionship
for life of Just such maids as llvo nnd die
unwcdded In scores In every country dis
trict In England. On the whole , the Marriage
riage- association may perhaps be said to do
more harm than good , for , although from
ono reason or another ( not specified In the
advertisement ) the goods offered may be fre
quently a little off color , still , each trans
action offers at least a chance of happiness
to two persons who otherwise might never
have had It. That , nt any rate , the parties
to the transaction are In the flrst Instance
usually grateful for the association's services
Is placol beyond a doubt by the extracts cf
letters before us.
WHERE JEALOUSY IS A FEATURE.
Some of these refer amusingly to tha In
itiatory stages of the courtship thus com
mercially Inaugurated. A gentleman writes
hegglng the association not to send a cer
tain lady's photograph to any other gentleman -
man , as , though he has not seen her , ho has
fallen In love with her already , and another
tells them not to send Mrs. any more
names of gentlemen , aa he Is engaged to
her. Hero , It Is to b feared , the first
growls of the grc-en-eycd monster may bo dis
tinguished. Innumerable ladles write to say :
"I am engaged to Mr. , so please do
not send me any more photographs , " and not
a few. In announcing their own marriages ,
send In the names of their younger sisters
as candidates In the same competitive sys
tem of matrimony. A Canadian settler
writes In behalf of a young lady to whom
he was Introduced : "I hop you will assist
Mlpj to a good husband , as she really
docs deserve one , only she would not go
to Canada , "
Sometimes the marriage negotiations com-
imr-co on the most business-like footing , as
In the following extract from the letUr of a
"high-class firm of Londwi solicitors" ;
"Wo are Instructed by our client , who Is a
peer and aged , to maKe Inquire respecting
your advertisement of the 30th Inst. We
shill f l obliged by your sending full par-
tlculirs as to her position , health , fortune- ,
etc. " Sometlmej the association's labors
were rewarded by an outbreak of love at
flrst sight between their clients , as nar
rated In the following Istter from a "young
landy of means : "
Dear Sir : In reply to your kind letter
of congratulation , I think If the gentleman

rangements to a successful marriage I can
only most heartily thank you fop your
sxertloiiH on my behalf. I have had the
pleasure to nee Mr. on the subject , and
must say ho la n most genial ami sociable
gentleman , und I really think would make
nny one n loving- husband , ns I felt luippy
In his companionship , nnd I have received

Imd afforded , to that 1 may almost say It
s mutual. Yours truly. _ .

ALWAYS BUSINESS.
Wo have eald that the Gazette does not
jld for regular subscribers ; nor does It ap
parently expect to appeal to the ordinary
eader , although Ita advertisements do , as
i matter of fact , provide excellent reading.
V stern attention to business the business
if matchmaking characterizes all Us com-
nunloatlons. and every remitter of Ed. for
i copy of the Gazette Is accepted without
luestlon as a candidate for matrimony. Ilt-
ildcs the papera already noticed , the bulky
envelope contains a written letter In which
In the caseof a male subscriber ) you are
it onoa requested to fill up an enclosed form
vlth particulars ot "younelf and the descrlp-
Ion of ladles to whom you deodre-an Introduc-
lon with a view to matrimony. " Armed
vlth these the association will "be In a post-
Ion to at once commence negotiations upon
our behalf , " because , at the letter explains ,
he advertisement ! ) tn the Gazette represent
nly a comparatively small number of the
llenU upon th * book * of the auocUtlon ,
the majority preferring not to advertise their
matrimonial qualifications.
Besides giving your name , ngo And ad
dress , you have to "stato whetu r bachelor
or widower , " what Incumbrances , if any ,
you may have , glvo a personal description
of yourself , your means , profession nnd ra
cial standing. With regard to the lady you
require , you must "stato preference for
spinster pr widow , " whether you object
to children ( with the widow ) , the age you
would like her to be , also the"color of
hair , eyes , complexion , deportment , height ,
figure , etc. ' , " you must rpeclfy the accom
plishments you deslrs , the means eho should
possess , and , last , but not least , "whether
n settlement upon the gentleman Is desired. "
You will greatly "facilitate negotiations"
by sending a photograph. Altogether , the
business appears to be conducted upon a
sound , practical basis , while nt the same
time offering unexampled attractions to mat
rimonial dilettante , for there must be many
less amusing pastimes to be found thin
posing as a rather exacting client nnd ob
taining Introduction after Introduction to
fair damsel and attractive widows de
sirous of marrying you , and so passing your
days In sliding out of ono flirtation Into
another. In ordinary life , ladles nnd gen
tlemen have to take what they can get for
flirting purposes , but the- association brings
to your very door , so to speak , whole cart
loads of attractively labeled members ot
the opposite sex , whom you know before
hand to be desirous of wedding just such
a person as yourself , and the fun tn bo de
rived therefrom must be for those who
like that kind of thing Immense.

A Pair of Domestic Incidents of Tit-
cltliift Proportion * .
There was considerable excitement In the
Moran family of Chelton Hills the other
evening , says the Philadelphia Times , when
it was discovered that the pride of the
house , a sturdy young man of three- years ,
was mysteriously missing. He had been con
siderable of a rover from the time his well-
s'arched dresses gave way to kilts , but his
wanderings had been limited to the house
and yard , and thus It was that when , about
7 o'clock In the evening , the little. Fauntle-
roy was wanted and was not found , anxiety
prevailed.
The neighbors' houses were M visited
nnd each family was invited to participate
In the search , while in turn one after another
of the patrol houses were notified and the
blue-coated detailed to lend their assistance
to listen In out-of-the-way localities for
a youthful voice raised In treble entreaties
for help , nnd In by-ways to search wllh lan
terns for the wanderer.
It was all In vain , however , and ns on ? after
another reported to the anxious mother the
111 tmccess with which they had met she- be
came almost frantic , while picturing her dar
ling alone In a great city beyond the In
fluences of her tender care and subject to all
the Indescribable dangera which one in her
position might fancy. At last she burst Into
a fit of hysterical sobs , and then It was that
a still small and very sleepy voice emanat
ing from beneath an old-fashioned sofa
softly Inquired :
"What's a matter , mamma ? "
"That was nil , but it settled the disturb
ance , and a proclamation was Ibsucd notify
ing the good people of the hill that the lost
had been found ,

lowed by every man , woman and child on
the street. Peering Into the depths be
fancied he eaw the child lying on a pile of
mud. Aa there was very llttlo water In the
hole he hastened to the police elation ,
aecured ropes , and , together with Officer
Clegg , returned to make the rescue. Clegg ,
being the lighter , was slowly lowered1 to the
bottom , itho women and children lending a
willing hand. The hauling up process was
a tedious , laborious affair , but by main
strength Clegg was finally landed on terra
flrma , but with a look of disgust on hlu face
that would have turned vinegar sour. In
his hand be held a baby , not a real living
child , but a half wornout one of the rag
species. The woman had disappeared , but

Joying the policemen's discomfiture.

be Infalllb'e. In the state of Kansas a
buffoon and clown ridicules fratcrnnltini
and throws Insults Into the teeth of 0,000
members of beneficiary orders In his puerile
efforts to bo'lttle the grandeur and nobility
of their munitions. The New Hampshire
commissioner of 1SDO declared when referring
ferringto a fraternity : " \Vc do not allow
Institutions of so much grandeur nnd sov
ereignty ns Its capital stock to do business
In this state Assessment companies we ex
clude from the state. We supervise two
assessment companies organised by charter
from our losls'aturo.Ve have a multitude
of Infatuations under all sorts of names ;
visionary schemes nnd tempting extortions ;
that are existing In conflict with the laws
for lack of enforcement. If jour order see
lit to Infest our state you will have to do
It upon \our own authority In violation of
our law , "
The Dakouts each extort extravagant
fees for Its state officer , require elaborate
advertising foit the benefit of Its "official
organs" ; a sop.for political favors ; and
"pinches" thebeneficiary fund for n per
centage of the contributions made by Its
citizens Kentucky lacks Its doors nnd has
thrown the key In 'tho well so that the few
orders already Infcannot get out nnd all
others cannot Bet'In. Texas admits foreign
frateinals to comeIn nnd gather the funds
from Its citizens , but a native need not
apply for non ? can organize. In Missouri
by simply Incorporating under the general
nut any sort of'a" scheme can be evolved.
It was the nursery ! of the bond fakes after
Nebraska. Its itolrth place , had cast them
out , and It was not until the strong arm of
Uncle Sam desqen.ded with clenched fist
upon them for violating the postal laws
that these lottery fallacies were crushed
out. f %
We need uniform laws to protect our

We need no protective tariff , no subsides.
We need nnd should demand simply Justice
We arc pleading tlife cause of the people ,
A holler cause never waa advocated. Bene

It Is n barricade against poverty , Ignorance

The opposition to legislation for the fos-
torlng and protection of the beneflcinrj
orders have urped that their existence was
a brevity , that their plans were crude ant
untried , Ignoring1 the fact that their prac
ticability had been demonstrated by tin
English friendly societies over 100 years be
fore the first life Insurance company was
ever organized , . and that the beneficiary
orders of America have successfully met
their obligations for over a quarter of n
century , they formulate an array of figures
based upon asbumptlons which are the va
garies of avarice nnd greed and attempt to
pio\o the unreliability of the orders and
their Inability to carry out their contracts ,
I nm reminded of the calculations of Miller
who demonstrated to his own satisfaction
and to that of hundreds of his followcts
by an array of figures based upon the mys
terlous traditions of holy writ the date o
the end of the world.

At the present tlma there Is every Indica
tion that the consolidation of Nebraska lodge
No. 1 , and Myrtle lodge No 2 , Knights of
I'jtlilns , will be brought about In the- near
future The matter came up for considera
tion at the meeting of the former lodge
during the past week , and \\ai < almost unani
mously favored. It will bo presented to the
consideration of the members of Mjrlle lodge
nt the meeting to be held tomorrow night ,
and It Is more than n foregone conclusion
that the scheme will bo favored As teen
n't this formal consent of M > rtlc lodge Is
obtained , all that will remain to In don
will be the preparation of the arrangement
looUIng to the consolidation of the tw
lodges.
The plan has ? been meeting with a goo
deal of favor from the members of th
order In the city , and especially from th
members of the two lodges This Is due t
the fact that by the coiiMllclatlon Omnh
will have the- largest lodge of the order I
the state , and one of the largest In th
United States.

Mr. Durkln was most prominently , con
nccted with the order since the Institution o
the grand lodge In 1SSG. Among the thing
with which ho was especially connected re
cently was the plan of last winter to assls
the drouth sulfcrers In the west , a plan whlc
was Durkln's own child. A great deal o
good was done and much assistance rtmlrc <
by this scheme. At the time of his deat
Mr. Durkln wag a member of the commute
of laws of the grand lodge. Many wel
known members of the order from varlou
towns and cities In the state , includln
Omaha , will be In attendance at the funeral
It was announced last Sunday that Soda
lodge No 102 , Ancient Order of United Work
men , would give an entertainment on las
Monday evening. The announcement wa
unintentionally misleading regarding th
date of the affair. It will not occur unt !
tomorrow evening , The statement , however
that arrangements had been made * to have th
entertainment a big success was absolute !
true , and It behooves members of the orde
for their own good and pleasure to be prea n
In numbers.

In a conversation with Mr. P. W. Fitch
secretary of the Associated Cj cling club , a
few days since , regarding certain matter
of Interest to all wheelmen , he said :
"The outlook for the cycling season o
1896 Is remarkably promising and encour
aging. Already the skill and gonlus o
the Inventor and the resources of the manu
facturer and the activity of agents for
cycling firms Is giving promised activity in
cycling circles. The useful as well as
healthful feature of cycling places I
as a fixed and permanent fea'ture of our
day. Cycling has como to stay. There
should , however , b ; maintained among
Omaha , riders a niord united and thorougl
effort to secure just recognition , equa
rights and privileges , progressive features
and fraternal feeling among wheelmen gen
erally. There are many advantageous re
sults for such association. Great benefits
can be secured by the efforts of wheelmen
generally. Every wheelman In this city
ought to be a member of come one of the
various clubs , and give what aid he can to
the cause , with tne object of assisting- and
keeping clean streets In this city and good
roads throughout the country , and equal
lights upon the highway with teamsters
and vehicles. There are something like
4,000 bicycle riders In this city , though but
a small percentage thereof are- members of
any of the various clubs. Among this
number , It Is safe to saj that there are
3,000 legal voters who ride the wheel , and
if they would use their Influence through a
united effort to secure mutual benefit , w heel-
men generally could secure better privileges
than are now accorded them.
"Tho practice of certain parties throwing
glass , ashes and garbage Into the streets
could bo greatly abated by having a uni
form practice among wheelmen who discover
Biich nulsjnco committed , reporting the
same Immediately to the Absoclated Cycling
clubs of this city , and the * offices of that
association reporting the same to the- chief
of police or Hoard of Health , In order that
the offender , after being once notified , maybe
bo promptly arrested In cafe the offense was
repeated. Kltlicr through carelessness or
Ignorance many parties In this city dump
ashes Into the center or to ono side of the
streets , throw glass/ / bottles and other pieces
of glass In the streets , whllo others make
the public street a dumping ground for
garbage , much to the discomfort of wheel
men generally.
"The keeping nnd harboring and albwlng
upcn the streets of dogs without paying the
city license U another objectionable feature
to the cyclist , and Is as bad aa the garbage
nuisance. A dog who'would not touch a per-
eon on a walk cr disturb a teamster will Im
mediately follow a cyclist when riding , and
tlio first thing which comes to lil grasp Is
generally the leg of a cyclist. It should bo
the duty of wheelmen generally to sea that
parties harboring such dogs are reported to
the proper officers of the city In order that
the ordinance relating thereto may he en-
lorced ,
"Again , there are crtaln drivers of ve-
hlclca In ttilo city who absolutely refute to
recgnlze the right of a wheelman upon the
streets , and who purposly run down vvheel-
nen or run them Into street curblngs , and
.hen jeer them , Theia parties should bo re-
> orted to the proper authorities and promptly
irrested- for such acts. However , all the
'ault and the III features to wheelmen are not
alnayu caused by other parties It has become -
como the habit among certain wheelmen of
this city t violate the ordinance recently
passed by the city council relating to fast
IJIiiK within certain prescribed limits In the
city. The wheelman who rldet within those.
Imlts faster than the prescrlbsd regulation
should be dealt with by the police authorltlta
aa promptly as any other parly who violates
he city ordinance. There Is scarcely a street
n the city that Is not traveled to some ex-
ent by wheelmen , and when a wheelman
Itscovers a defect In the paving and a danger
ous place In the streets It ahould be promptly
reported , either to the Atvucated Cycling
club of this city , cr the strait commit-
( loner , or proper authorities , and attention
should be called to It. It should be borne In
nlnd that the various wheel clubs of tbli
: lty are organized for the purpose of mutual
> enetH and to promote , cncaurasa tnd assist
the cycling causj generally. And It 1 * *
much the duty of wheelmen to tte ttiAt the
oily ordlntncca nnd l ns ure enforced In
Instances nhero tha city cannot reach the ?
cues , MS U Is to encournfio friendly rela
lion * or other milters , nnd where n wheel
nun Is apprehended , through Ignorance or
wilfully disobeying an ordinance , no more
leniency should bo extended to him than
to any other persw , H ha * become the
practice of ccitiln pntlcs riding between
Council HI tiffs nnd Omalm to wheel acres
the bridge so fast that the \\atchrnin or tel
collector citnnot apprehend him , thus avoid
Ing paying his fare. This his been re
pealed many times by certain parties nnd
of course , the old gentleman who collect
tblls at the bridge cannot stop n wheelman
who purpopcl ) seeks to avoid payment of his
toll by running past him. This nefarious
practice on the part of a few parties ha ;
thrown suspicion on nil wheelmen , more or
les . by the officers of the Omaha and Councl
Iluns ! Urldgo mid Terminal company1 an
safe In saying that an Individual riding i
wheel who would practice a trick ot that klm
Is not a member of nny club In good ptand
Ing In Council Uluffs or Omaha , and sliouK
bo apprehended and niailo to miffcr the con
sequences ot his act. The object ot the As
soclatcd Cycling club of this city Is not only
to encourage friendly relations bitwecn eye

of mutual Interest , nnd to protect the rights

"Do jou meet tattooed men In jour prac-
ttc7 often ? " a physician was asked by a
New Yoik Press reporter.
"Frequently , " ho replied. "Only the other
day n man who wns remarkably decorated
came to me to be treated Ills right arm
was enc'rclcd ' by a serpent in red , the head
on his Wrist and tlio tall on his shoulder ; on
the left arm was a crocodile , also In red , and
sui mounted by patches o ! diamond shape
and tn three colors. On his breast were
three figures executing a dunce. The work
Uselfas well done , nnd the colors bright.
Ho said It was done on the coast ot Africa ,
and attended by great ceremonies , and ho
had become n great man In the tribe. But
such elaborate tattooing one seldom meets ,
and then only on sailors. Small designs arc
common. "
"Neil" Thomas , who claims tn bo the oldest
tattooer In the city , said. "I learned on
board a man-of-war , and began business In
this city at SO Oak street In 1S47 , nnd lime
been at It ever Mncc. I IInd plentj of people
ple who want to be tattooed. Not a great
many sailors come to me , but lots of othr
people. I use simple designs. I have tat
tooed several men and women all over. I
remember two of the women were for Robin
son's circus. Masonic emblems ore popular ;
next come flags and shields. An Irishman
will want , probably , a harp , or perhaps an
anchor. An englishman a ship , or maybe- -
crown. A butcher may want a pig's head era
a chicken , and a baker sometimes a flour
barrel or a loaf of bread. The goddess of
liberty , sitting on an eaglo's back and holdIng -
Ing In her hands the national shield and the
flag. Is quite the rage.
"I charge by ths piece , " said Mr. Thomas.
'Tor an anchor , eagle or crown , 25 cents ;
for a heart with the hands clasped across It ,
from 75 cents to $1.2i ! , according to the
amount of fine work required. Tor the god
dess of liberty , $2.50 to $1. For the two
women I tattooed for Robinson I got $125
from each. "
