At after n Btorm comes n cnlm ; as after
passion follows rcpwo ; as "after life's fit
ful fovc-r he sleeps well ; " so to a week of
uiiuaiml activity , crowded full of socl.il
Measures and overflowing with the modern
Kplrll of Iho Thanksgiving festival , succeeds
n wool ; which , without being quite stale ,
flat and unprofitable , certnlnly has coma
nearer to It than nn early winter week In
Eocloty ought to conic , and has afforded a
welcome respite to a nuiubur of wearied
minds and bodies.
llcforo another Sunday , the society circus
will have coino and gone , and the ( iodowsky
concert , both of which aru likely to be
gcnurously patronized by society In ioneral.
The announcement of the circus , which ap
pears hereafter , will be found to promise
quite as Rood entertainment as any of the
latter-day throe-ringers. The only difference
Is that the attract Inns are not presented
with that wealth of adJcrtlvcH which char
acterize the "paper" of the real thing. The
posters displayed round about , however ,
have Iho genuine high-colored look , the
horscB arc duly dappled and the men anil
women suitably attired. These , with the
Htupendous end uncounted street parade ,
which will occur In all ll world-embracing
mnKnltiidn on the morning of Tuesday , are.
relied upon to ntlmulntc the Interest w'llc-h
the performance Itself will assuredly retain.
The circus Is given for clmrlty the greatest
of the three wwrut attributes which abide
last of all.
The excellent custom of New Year's calling ,
which for some years has fallen Into disuse
from a variety of cauots , la likely to bo re
vived to mime extent this season In Omaha.
Certain wtir.cn , whose Influence nnd ex
ample In such matters no far , have expressed
themselves as favorable to the practice In
general , and as Intending to open their
linusca to rails on N'cw Year's day. It h
thought that other women will fall Into
line , und that the old-tlmu hospitality may
onro nmro be extended nt the outset of the
dawning year.
It Is currently reported , by these who ouht
to know , that the maidens of Omaha , real
izing that their days are gliding swirtly by ,
nnd feeling reluctant to let slip their leap-
year privileges without n struggle , ore plan
ning a last rally In the shape of a party to
be given to their masculine friends within
thn next two or three weeks. As the men ,
judging from the number of recent engage
ments , uccm disposed to aid them In all
their laudable undertakings , there would ap
pear to be nothing In the way of the en
tire suecesj of such a project.

commonest diseases and one of the most
obstinate. People have It for years , and
Just because It Is not Immediately fatal

death. Hemorrhages occur from no ap
parent cause and loss of blood causes death.
Hemorrhages occur during surgical treat
ment , often causing death.
Piles arc simple In the beginning nnd
lastly cured. They can bo cured even In
Iho worst stages , without pain or loss o/

SAN FI5ANCISCO , Dec. 3. The oxclte-
ineiil caused by the Fitzslmmons-Shar'/.ey
llglit has abated , and even popular Interest
In the llnal disposition of the $10,000 purse
Is waning. ShnrUoy is still In bed and re
ceives visitors In a room Illlod with ( lowers ,
the gifts of admiring female friends. lie
confidently expects to receive the purse
soon , although neither s-Ife made any move
today. Fltzslmmons says he will remain
hero only until the suit for the purse Is de
termined , and that ho will thereafter be at
Dan Stuart's disposal.
Fltzslmjnons was occupied today In de-
fondlng the suit brought against him by
Jimmy Carroll , his former tralnor , for $900 ,
alleged to bo duo for training sorviws.
The story Is now current In sporting clr-
c'.es that Flt/.slmmons has done pretty well
with his tight venture oven If he receives no
part of the purse. Most of the money wag
ered on the llsht was placed on the question
of Sharkey's ability to stay six rounds. It
Is now said Fitzslmmons placed several
thousand dollars on Sharkoy to hold out six
rounds and then took care that he did not
knock out his orpmifiit too soon. Hoforoo
Wyatt Harp has boon quoted as saylmr that
when ho mot Major Frank McLuughlln he
would call McLauKhlln to account for hnv-
Inif aahl that Karp's dodslou was unsavory
and for Insinuating that the referee had
boon "Jlxod. " The two mot In n hotel Icir
today and an encounter was expected , but
Karp's friends managed to pot him out be
fore there was any chance for an alterca
tion.
