Lieutenant Vnn Lieu , U. S. A. , dellvoro
n address on "Mllltnry Law" last evenIng
Ing before the Omaha Law Students' as
eoclatlon In tlio Young1 Men's Christian as
Boclntlon hall. The Thurston Ulfles wor
ptchent In n body as the guests ot the law
( students. The address dealt only with th
elementary portions of the subject , and I
was Interesting on that account. A selcc
tlon of Incidents Illustrating the varloii
points of the lecture added to the value o
the address as well as to the pleasure o
listening to It.
Lieutenant Van Lieu Bald that the Unltei
States army was the people's army am
must bo used for their best Interests. Ho
dlbcuBbcd the mrnncr In which It may be
called Into service and how employed. Ho
om'mcrated ' the constitutional provisions ! o
calling out the military or naval force o
the government , or the mllltla of any of the
states. Ho said that In case of riot an >
clfzen had a right to help suppress the
disturbance , and that the right which -was
thus accorded private citizens could scarcely
bo denied military organizations. But , ho
added , prudence demands that greater care
bo employed In calling the military powc
Into action than private citizens.
In speaking of the assumption of power
by military ofllccrn In times of great danger
gor he narrated the circumstances of the
struggle between General Lyon and Gov
ernor Jackson of Missouri Just before the
outbreak of the rebellion. General Lyoi
at that time , acting solely on his own ro
sponslblllty , without any authority whatso
ever , secured control of arms and nmimi
nltlon that had been collected for the .use
of the confederates , and saved Missouri to
the union. The lecturer thought that en
vironments had more or less to do with de
termining the course of action to be pur
sued In time of trouble. Proceedings that
might bo all right In Texas would not bo
proper In Now York or Pennsylvania.
The lieutenant spoke at considerable
length on martial law and thoroughly ex
plained the meaning of that term. The
supreme court used the expression , "mar
tial rule. " Ho thought that was moro ap
propriate than martial law.
The duties of olllcers when their organ
izations are called upon to disband mobs
Bald ho , are. excsedlngly delicate. The mobs
usually contain a respectable element which
Is seeking the redress of some grievance
By the end of the first day this olemenl
has generally withdrawn or been forest
out by the more desperate ones. The offi
cers need to exercise more than usuil cau
tion In dealing with mobs for fear of over
stepping the legal bounds. Only recently
nn officer was on trial because his company
had killed several rioters. The officer In
such times should always look for his In
structions from the civil officer who has
called for the military. The military offi
cer should endeavor to have all his orders
from the civil authorities In writing. If
this Is not possible , ho should be accom
panied by several members of his staff ,
who can bear witness concerning the Instruc
tions ho has received. No blank cartridges
should be furnished troops who have to deal
with mobs. The first -rioter who throws &
missile or who fires a shot should bo fired
upon , not by an entire company , but only
by certain ones ordered to do so.
In conclusion Lieutenant Van Lieu spoke
of the history and the Jurisdiction of couits
martial. Conflict between civlHand' military
courts are not rare occurrences. A soldier
may be tried by a civil court for "a penal
offense and n Jury .may acquit Mm. The
military may then take up the matter , the
court martial rendering Its decision with
out reference to the decision of tbo civil

During the past winter some unknown
party has caused the Associated Charltlc
no end of annoyance by soliciting fund
for the poor of the city. The money col
Icctcd has footed up quite a snug sum , bu
none of It was turned over to Secretary
Laughland , Several parties have bten ar
rested at different times by the police , bu
It was found that they were not the met
wanted.
Yesterday II. H. Ooldgrabcr , a grocer a
1G03 North Twentieth street , Informed the
police that ho had been swindled out o
$3 worth of goods by a young man , of when
he gave a description. Ho said that the
party represented that be was employed by
D. J. Schmidt , a carpet cleaner , on Soutl
Nineteenth street , and that his employer
would stand good for the bill. When Gold
graber presented the bill to Schmidt for
payment It was refused , the latter statin ;
that the man did not work for him nnt
that ho was a fraud. 'From the descrlptloi
given , Schmidt recognized the purchaser ns
a former salesman for him , named Bishop
lltshop was arrested , charged with obtain
Ing money under false pretenses , althougl
ho Insisted that his name was not Bishop
but C. H. Moore , and1 that ho know nothing
about the matter.
Last evening ho was Identified by Schmld
and Goldgraber nnd also by John J. Frey
tag , 1G14 North Twenty-fourth street , who
stated that Bishop solicited small amounts
from him In behalf of the Associated Char
ities.
Bishop is also said to bo the man who
swindled Charles F. Greffert , a butcher who
formerly conducted a business at Twentictl
and Leavenworth streets , out of $12 on a
fraudulent check. Bishop called at the
butclior 8hop one day and bought 50 cents
worth of meat , saying that he did not have
the change , but would call and pay for I
the next time ho passed that way. Nex
day ho tenderel a check in payment am
received $11.50 In change.

as the poet scout , will tonight entertain
an audience at the Crelghton , where nn
enjoyable time Is assured. It Is almos
needless to state that Captain Jack has
been Identified with the early growth am
development of Omaha nnd has hosts o
friends here , who will avail themselves o
the opportunity to hear him. It is no\\
twenty years fince he llrst began to draw
attention as n. correspondent of The Bee
particularly when delegated to report the
Hlack Hills country , where he added to his
fame by rendering valuable assistance ns
u scout at the time of the dialer maspacre
Uough and rambling was the copy ho h
those days sent in for Ueo compositors to
decipher , " but It waa always like the
writer a rollicking medley of matter
bumping Into one fact and bubbling over
another , like an unfettered mountaii
stream that keeps ageing and finds its
way down In the end , somehow. In the
freedom of his style It was not unusual for
him to break Into verse In the midst of
a letter and get back to the thread of his
subject without seeming effort. Since those
days Mr. Crawford has won lasting fame
through his poems , tome of which have
found their way Into tMd school room as
selections for recital. The principal par
of the entertainment will consist in the
rendition of his own Works , a task in
which long experience In the leading cities
of the country has made him thoroughly
proficient. "As previously stated , Mr. Craw
ford's old-time popularity augurs a large
attendance and no one desiring an enjoy
able evening will be disappointed.

The recent decision of the supreme cour
affirming ihe right of the city to assess th
cost of viaduct repairs to the railroad
greatly pleased the mayor and members o
the city council.
Regarding the matter Mayor Johnston said
The administration of 1892 and 1893 repalrei
the two viaducts In this city at a cost o
about $10,000 without making the sllghtcs
effort to compel the railway companies t
pay for tl-o same. The cost was paid by th
entire people with n levy of J mills made In
July , 1893. The preaent administration ha
expended about $5,500 in viaduct repairs ant
has token all necessary steps to compel th
railroad companies to pay for the same. Ther
can ho no doubt that the railroad companle
can bo compelled to pay the cost of repal
on viaducts In South Omaha , becatiso th
provision In the charter relating to sucl
affairs Is identically the same as In Omaha.1
When Mr. Johnston assumed the office 0
mayor ho saw that this Important matte
had been overlooked by the former admlnls
tratlon and at once called the attention o
the council to the fact that It was for the
railroads to keep the viaducts In repair
He has given the matter his personal atten
tlon nnd has seen that the necessary lega
steps have been taken by the city attorney
so that tl-o railroad companies cannot avolt
the payment.
The railroads affected by the decision are
the Union Pacific and the Union Stock Yard
company.

The following marvelous story Is told by
Rev. Josfah Strong , whoso own high char
acter , together with the fact that no one
has challenged the authenticity of the story ,
make credible what would otherwise inspire
doubt. The story is told to illustrate the
fitness of the Christian negro to evangelize
Africa , says the Springfield Republican. It
Is an account of a visit to an African city on
the Kassal , a tributary of the Congo , whoso
king had threatened with Instant death any
visitor to his capital or any guide who should
conduct one thither. So for nlno yearo all
attempts to reach It had been futile. When
Mr. Shepherd came , speaking the king's
own language , and being of his own color.
King Laguba received him kindly anil
showed him every attention. This is what
Mr. Shepherd saw :
They attended him to the city , and he
found what he had not O3en before in Af
rica , a fenced city , with broad , clean
streets , in which hundreds of hpppy chil
dren were at play , with marbles or at leap
frog , or trundling their hoops. He found
a city laid out like a checker board , the
squares being filled with houses. .Every
street and every house was named. The
bouses were well built and commodious , and
[ urnlshed with carved furniture and ex-
lulsitoly woven mats. Ho was conducted
to one that had been assigned to him and
found it well provisioned. There he re
ceived the neighbors for three days , and on
; ho fourth ne was summoned to glvo at
tendance upon the king , and the king sent
two of his sons and 1,000 children to escort
him to his presence. Ho walked with
: hem down a broad , beautiful avenue Into
: ho great central square of the city.
Blanket cloth had been spread out In a
great circle of perhaps 100 feet In diameter ,
and within this the ground had been cov
ered with leopards' eklns. On these skins ,
sitting In a hollow square , were the 700
wives of the king and his aged sister , while
thousands of spectators stood' outside around
the circle. As the king was berne in by his
sixteen carriers the air WBS rent with the
shouts of the people , and when the king was
seated the people seated themselves upon
the ground. Then two princes came for
ward , and taking Mr. Shepherd by the arm ,
conducted him Into the presence of the
king.
The king was gorgeously dressed , and
wore a crown. He took from his belt a
knife which he said had belonged to seven
hokugas , and this he presented to the
young man as a'token of confidence. The
king said to him ; "If you or your people
are hungry , do not fall to let me know , and
whatever you want of mo or my people
you Bhall have. " Ho then presented tha
missionary to his aged sister , and the cere
mony was at an end. The princess conducted
him about the city , and a ; ho saw their vast
markets full of busy life , well supplied with
fruits and vegetables and manufactured ar
ticles , he felt himself to be again In the
midst of civilization. Ho found..tliero a people
with laws which were strictly enforced , with
courts of justice and with prisons , Any
member of that tribe who Is guilty of bigamy
suffers death. Any man who is guilty of
drunkenness , or cf theft , or of gambling , or
of wife-beating , Is severely punished , Every
third day with them Is a Sabbath , and they
carefully observe It ,

Not ft few of thetrolty passenger agents nnd

men about town who recently relieved the
pockctbooks cf the largo hearted ticket
sellers of considerable change.
City agents are always genial nnd no class

popes on the'r good'nature. ' H Is known as
the "rush loan. " The borrower rushes Into
the ticket office , -Renerally when the ticket
men are busy with a lot of customers , and
asks onn of the former for a dollar , adding
that he Is in n great rush and has Just time
to cfttch a car. Before the ticket man has
realized what he has done ho has gone down.
Into his Jeans and handed over the amount
requested. The other day on attache of an
uptown office waa just about to loan a recent
acquaintance a dollar , when he suddenly re
membered that some of his brothers had
been worked In this manner and responded ,
"Sorry , old man , but I haven't a cent ? "
emphasizing his remark by returning the
dollar to bis deepest pocket.

curtaln-ralsei , and the new dramatic comedy
by Marguerite MerJngton , "An Every Day
Man , " will be glvln. The sole of seats will
open next Thursday-- orniug.
Della"'Fox' nnil'ttT'excsllent' company will
open an engagement of two nights at Boyd's
theater on tomorrow ( Sunday ) evening , In
the new comic opera , "Fleur do Lis. " The
sale of seats will open at 9 o'clock this mornIng -
Ing , and indications are that the demand
will be brisk.
There Is little doubt that the public would
warmly welcome a return to the days of the
stock companies , as it would certainly bring
an improvement In the drama , hut It seems
the theatrical managers will not permit It ,
as under the present system they can make
money out of plays which , if presented by
stock companies , would bo losing ventures.
Anything , however , which points to a revolu
tion of this sort Is applauded , and It is there-
fora with pleasure that the public , so far
is can be learned , has been much interested
In the announcements of the coming of the
Frawley company , one which will open an
engagement of one week at tbe Crelghton
tomorrow night , with an elaborate production
of W , H. Crane's great American play , "The
Senator. " To judgs from the flattering
notices given Mr , Frawley's company else-
where.their performances must , Indeed , be a
, rcat , and play-goers of our e'ty will sustain a
loss If they fall to see them. "Men ami
Women" and "The Lost Paradise" will also
bo presented during the engagement.
Remenyl , the famous virtuoso , will play
n the star course of the Young Men's Chris-
.lan association next Wednesday evening.

In keeping pace with the freaks of fash-
on one must now have a Japanese room ,
and odd and attractive Is this same apart
ment when properly gotten up. The floor
nust bo covered with fine , natural colored
matting , eays the Philadelphia Record , but
one may use the solid colored matting with
out destroying tbe effect If this seems moro
desirable , though the so-called white matIng -
Ing Is the Japanese kind used.
The matting , It must be underotooil , Islet
lot to bo laid asno Americans lay It that
s , in long-continued breadths , but in the
oliowlng manner : Take a six-foot length
of fine weave , best quality matting ( as the
best long outwears the cheaper qualities
and pays for Itself In the end ) , bind the
ends and slJes uniformly and neatly with
egular wide carpet binding of a solid color ,
ay deep reJ or brown , and lay this In one
orner of the room , tacking It down. Bind
moro lengths If the room Is fifteen feet
eng ; bind another six-foot length and a
hree-foat length and lay them , the six-foot
eugth next to the one already down , and
ho three-foot length next to that ; this will
ompleto one continuous breadth. Begin at
he end of the breadth just completed , or ,
ather , right alongside , and lay another slx-
oot length , next to that another , and then
three-foot to finish the second breadth ;
his will bring tha , last three-foot alongside
f the first six-foot lorvgth and produce the
rregular lay which'IB eminently Japanese.
Before laying any imottlng , however , pad
ho floor thickly iwlth carpet lining , the
vadded kind , or clae lay a very thick lining
f nowepapert * , flva'.or six deep , .Japanese
mats are laid over1 very thick rice mats to
reduce a soft , luxurious burfaco for the
ne upper mats. lAftcr the whole floor Is
lius Irregularly matted , procure thin Inch-
\lilo mouldings of'wood , stained or painted
jrown , ami lay these over all the Inter-
ectlons of the mats , tacking them down
ecurely.
To maka the room as Japanesque as pos-
tble remove all doors and replace them by
lldlng screens , thalframes of which may be
alnted jet black < uad the panels filled In
Ith Japanese chintz. Or one may buy
apancse paper screens very reasonably , that
rvlll have a nicer finish than home-made
( fairs. Metal attachments may bo bought
o ecrew to the top and bottom of the screens
o make them slide , and slots ot wood must
e fastened to the floor to form a groove for
lldlng In.
Hang at the upper Bashes of tbe windows
ne bamboo shades and below these , at the
ewer sash , drape E SI curtains of Japanese
otton crepe. This crepe- being narrow four
readths will be required for each window ,
wo breadths for each curtain. Trim the
nner edge with , , tassel brald _ and the effect
nl bo exceedingly prcttjr. ' i
Every Japanese apartment should have two
Icovea ; say , one end of the room divided
o form Ihe two al oy s , or small apoves )
ormed In * opposite cofnSrs. One of these
Icoves should etand for the to-ko-no-ma , or

Junior Suits Barganized.
Today v/e uncover three different lots of
"Junior" Suits at the most junior prices
you ever saw attached to the same quality
of suits. The first Jot is marked 9O cents
and when you see the suits you'll wonder
what on earth prevented us from marking
them $1.28 or $1.BO. "The Nebraska"
never marks goods at what they might
bring. We sell according as we buy.
Having bought these very low we will
sell them very low and that's why Lot No.
2 is marked $1. as a suit instead of $1.75-
The price tag on Lot No. 3 calls for $1.4O ,
and it might just as well call for $2.OO if
we did business that way. The most in
veterate shopper in Omaha never saw
such attenuated price tags on such rugged
suits. We buy children's suits by the
thousand where others buy by the dozen ,
and tha makes considerable difference in
the price. You probably have found that
out before now.

being low-toned In color , chiefly In sepias ,
enlivened by sonic embroidery In whltp silk
and a trifle of gold.
The other alcove , called the chlgaldana ,
should have shelves and little cupboards ,
with sliding doors to display a few pieces of
Japanese porcelain , it being a fixed rule
among the Japanese to avoid profuse and os
tentatious display of their r'ches In ornamen
tal worts.
The to-ko-no-ma may have a transom
across the top made of Japanese cedar fret
work : from this may bang a bamboo and
bead curtains. Very low settees or wide
bamboo or reed scats , with plenty of cush
ions , covered with Japanese chintz , will help
to furnish the room In Japanese spirit.
Lanterns are a feature of Japanese houses ,
so one may indulge In two or three gayly
colored ones to advantage. A fan-stick. In
which are stuck half a dozen fans , may
stand in one corner of the room , and there
may be an etagere or cabinet of ebonlzed
wood and vases c flowers buspended from
the alcove posts.

coughs , etc. , Brown's Bronchial Troches have
proved their efficacy by a test ofnany years.

of 129.
Mrs. William Allen of Pilot View. Ky. ,
celebrated her SOth ibirthday the other day
by completing the cutting of her third full
set of teeth.
Charles L. Tiffnny , head of the Tiffany
house In New York , celebrated his 84th
birthday the other day. He is hale and
hearty and attend6to business affairs every
day of his life with clockwork regularity.
Ho began his career by opening a little sta
tionery and fancy goods shop over sixty
years ago.

Walter McEwIng of Coopersvllle , Mich. ,
celebrated the centennial anniversary of his
birth on the 1st tnst. Ho was born near
Paisley , Scotland. When lie was 13 he went
to sea on a merchant vessel as an appren
tice. For moro than fifty years he sailed
on the Atlantic and between Scotland and
the West Indies , and also on the great lakes
of America.
Mr. Tracy Turnerelll recently died at
Leamington , England , at tbe ago of 81. Mr.
Turnorelll war the nan who collected 54,000
pet.rles for a silver-gilt laurel wreath for
the earl of neaconslleld when the latter
returned to England after the Berlin treaty
had been signed. Ueaconsfleld , of course ,
refused to receive It. Mr. Turnerelll kept
himself before the public by writing patriotic
verses , and four years ago erected a most
remarkable marble monument to himself at
Leamington cemetery.
James S. Homer of Plttston , Pa. , who Is
nearly 90 years of ago , was born on Plt-
cajrn Island , that wonderful little colony
far out In the Pacific ocean. He has lived
In Plttston since 1SS4. Ills life has been
eventful , he having visited the Indies , Aus
tralia , New Zealand , Africa , Portugal , Spain ,
Germany , France , England , Scotland , Ire
land and Wales. Mr. Horner was In the
English army twelve years , and was wounded
In the leg and arm at the massacre at Delhi ,
in India , In 1SD7. Ho speaks seven differ
ent languages ; is living with his second
wife , and by his first wife had seventeen chll-
dien.
Two remarkable cases of longevity wore re
called recently by a conversation between
several gentlemen In this city , relates the
Shelbyvllle (111. ( ) Gazette. They were dis
cussing the death of Rev. George McCnll ,
the veteran Baptist preacher , when It waa
authentically stated that Mr. McCall's great
grandfather lived to the rlpo old age of 127
years. He was a bachelor at 100 and took a
notion to get married. He carried out his
idea and was married. Thiee sona were born
to him , and ho lived to t > ; a the oldest son
old enough to vote. This was considered re
markable , but a gentleman In the crowd ,
whoso character ami standing religiously
and socially are above reproach , told an au
thentic account of the Ufa of his great uncle ,
who was one of Georgia's pioneer citizens.
This old gentleman lived to bo 130 years old.
Ho lived In a log cabin , In the northern end
of which watt cut a square hole. The old
man turned the head of hlu bed to that
hole , and blept that way In the warmest and
coldest weather. His wlfo died when ho was
about 90 years old , and for many years he
lived as a widower. At the age of 115 he
cut an entirely now set of teeth , and at the
ago of 123 ono morning be saddled his own
liorse , sprang Into the saddle , and rode thirty
miles to address a widow and to ask her to
be his wife. Ho evidently waa rejected , for
lie rode back that day and lived aaven years
longer.

In the thirteenth , fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries , says a writer In St. Nicholas , the
development of the sword was carried for
ward rapidly. Hitherto , the military organi
zation of Europe had heon of the most Ir-
rcRiilar chaiacter ; hut In the fourteenth
century the German troops and the men from
the Swiss mountains hecame known far and
wide for their thorough discipline and ex
cellent organization. They approached moro
nearly to the modern Idea of a soldier than
any troops that had yet heon put In the
field , and they were employed as hired troops
by the various European sovereigns. They
were armed with a pistol and a huge two-
handed sword which , through their marvelously -
velously skillful handling , became ono of
the most famous weapons of the army. This
"two-bandar. " as the Germans called It ,
often reached a length of seven feet , and
ono still preserved in Westminster Ahbey
weighs qulto eighteen pounds.
The wavy outline of the blade , a style of
decoration that was much in favor In the
arts about'this time , and from which came
our word "flamboyant , " or "flaming , " gave
greater efficacy to the blow. The prongs
below the crosspieces protected the guard.
Wielded by trained men , this weapon was
capable ) dC doing torrlflc execution. The
brawny man-at-arms grasped the sword
firmly in both hands ; balanced on ono foot ,
ho swung the blade in a circle above his
head and fetched a crashing blow that ,
mowed down everything before it. It was
a favorite weapon with the English soldiery ,
to whoso strongly built frames Its huge
proportions wore well adapted. Richard the
Lion-hearted , who from his great size alone
would have been the foremost man on any
field , handled this heavy weapon with such
strength and skill that his name became a
terror to the foe.
According to an old romance , an export
swordsman might hope to leave sixty of the
enemy disabled on the field ; but these
mighty brands had all the faults of their
virtues. Like the cumbrous armor of the
Gothic period , they were a sore tax on the
spent energies ot the weary soldier ; and ,
owing to their awkward size , extreme care
was required in handling them lest an un
expected blow might be bestowed upon some
fellow-soldier In the furious assault. Be
sides , it took a lifetime of training to pro
duce men of sufficient strength and dex
terity to render effective service.
