Michael Munkacsy was bom near Munkacs , Hungarla , October 10 , 1S4-I. Ho had been virtually dtnd to the world since the paralytic shock which , In the latter jwut of 1SK6. compelled him to abandon all hope ot ever working at his easel again. At that tluio ho was nt Godeflburg. For months he sat brooding and melancholy , when , In an extcxs of mudncgg , he suddenly attacked and nearly strangled his attendant and his phy sician. He was Immediately removed to an Insane asylum , from which , on Its becoming In-ions that his mental condition \\as hope- 3ss , ho was moved to the retreat where he as Just passed away In the prime of years Us parents wore poor nnd before he was 7 ears old he was left an orphan and given ver to the chnrge of nn uncle at Osaba , who cems to have treated him harshly. The nungsler was afterward apprenticed to a .rndesman. In his autobiography , "The arly Recollections of Munkncsy. " which pppared In the early part of 1M)7 ) , after he lad lost his reason , he tells with the most harming simplicity of these days of ap- irentlccshlp , of heating glue and grinding heap paint. At 14 he was n qualified work- nan and was sent by his uncle Into the tvorld with 5 florins in his pocket. For five ears he lived In the town of Arnd. Then , Is health weakened by wretchedness and nek of food , ho was compelled to return to Is uncle's house. Hero the sight of cn- ravlngs set him copying them and the nsto returned to him like a pasalon. Ono ay his undo , chancing to look over his boulder at a drawing , said : "You might icsslbly become a painter. " Shortly after this ho entered the studio of German named Fischer , where he met zamossy , n painter of some talent , who gave ilm an Invitation to enter his studio , llc- .cccpted , but not having other means of aying for his Instruction , Insisted on being , kind of domestic and man of all work Vtter eighteen months he felt strong enough o strike out for himself , nnd on a very Imlted purchnso of colors he began to pa-nt imposition with life-sized figures.

Kllforci'iui'iit of OrilliianuoM Ii > Nlreil The Patterson iblock flro In Omaha ha called attention to the fact that severa buildings in South Omaha are not provide with proper flre escapes. At Hunt's hal ! Twenty-sixth and N streets , there is enl one' means of exit , while at the Delnne hotel nearby there la no method of escape from the top story in case of fire. Masonic hall at Twonty-ftfth and N streets is protected by one flrn escape , but at 'Modern ' Woodman hall , In the now City Hall hullJIng , there Us only one staircase nnd no fire escapes. Some time ago Building Inspector Duns- combo. In n cc-mmunlcatlon , called the atten tion of the city council to certain defects In the building laws and the letter was re ferred to the city attorney and judiciary committee. No report has been made , -but It IK thought that the catastrophe In Omaha will hasten the committee's action a little. The Armour packing houses hero are not provided with fire escapes , tout It Is under stood that the company proposes to erect ladders and platforms as soon as the rush of building Is over. Inspector OunBcombB thinks that at every hall where lodges meet two means of exit ought to be provided , but until the building laws are changed nothing can 'bo ' done -toward compelling the owners rf the buildings mentioned to erect suitable flro escapes. \ < -iMl anxnlhlniil CltjAttorney. . A great many people seem to favor Bar rett's suggestion that an assistant city at torney be appointed. It Is argued that by having such an officer a large amount of routine work can be attended to promptly nnd evidence looked up In cases which are liable to bo brought In the district court. With preparing city ordinances and doing cummlttee work the present city attorney IB kept on the Jump a greater portion of his time. It Is stated by those who advo- nj ' cato the appointing of an assistant city a'- j' torney that the city can save much more than tbo talary of such an official in the course of a yc-ar. Mayor Knsor figures that p. competent assistant attorney can bo se cured for about J50 a month. The city char ter , however , provides for the appointment of a city attorney only and some way -Rill have to be found to meet the expense with out violating the statutes.

Mnynard , who Is In from Hrltlsh Colunibln nml Is staying at one of the hotels , "there " 111 be one of the greatest booms in the northwest this season that has ever been experienced In this country. Money Is plenty everywhere and millions of It seem to bo seeking Investment. Of course some of It la going Into wildcat schemes , yet large sums arc going Into mines that are likely to prove good properties ere the end of the present season. Up In the Camp McKtnney district fully 500 people came In during Feb- ruary. Some of them were adventurers , but as a rule they wore men from the United States and the British possessions who had plenty of money to spend on anything that would show up well. Of course all of this country Is not rich In gold ore , but much of It Is paying big money right from the sur face. 1 don't advise people to throw up good Jobs , but If men have a little money and are anxious to Invest It , I can't see any thing better than to take a flyer In the mines of the northwest this season. Unlike certain localities In the United States , the mining district of British Columbia does ! not seem to be confined to close boundaries , , btit Instead It appears to extend from ] Spokane up to the Klondike regions nnd my opinion Is that before the end of the pres ent season some of the richest mines In the history of the country will be located be tween the British line and the Canadian Pa- clflc road. " "The rush Into Nebraska this year Is going to be something unprecedented , " remarked Judge Howard of New York at one of the hotels. "In the east you hear nothing but talk about the farming lands of the west and in this connection Nebraska Is most 1 ' frequently mentioned. The good crops of the last llvo years and the high prices at which j i cattle and hogs have been selling seem to I have driven everybody In the east land crazy. J : Clerks In the stores , men In the shops and speculators on the exchange are all talking land and every man seems to hove a desire ' to obtain a farm. The sale of the large i tract of land , bought In by the new Union | Pacific company , appears to have started a | , boom In this direction and as a natural consequence , much of this land being located § In Nebraska , is going to bring the people to this state.
