IlerTather, Judge Cady, was a man of means and liberal Ideas and thoroughly sympathized with his daughter. One whorl of consequence was open to girls at th.it time, Miss Willard's establishment, and to this Miss Cady was sent. She was graduated In 1S.12, but her studies did not end with her school llfo. In fact, she was always Interested In somo special lino of work. In London she met Lurretla Mott, and afterward Susan II. An thony, with whom she formi d a friendship that only death severed. She was married to Il'nty Stanton, a liwyerof (lencseo, N. Y., als. a man of means and deeply sympathetic with tho referm movement his wife advocated. It was at her home the first woman's rights convention was held. She studied lnw with her husband, nnd through his assistance and sympathy wns enabled to overcome many of tho difucul tles that boROt her way. One of her latest works was tiro publication ef what Is known as the "Woman's Rlble." Her studies 'if tho Scriptures as generally known had satisfied her that tho translation was Inac curate.

Prior to 1S73 he was con nected for a short time with the Hayden geological survey, in the capacity of artist, but soon showed such executive ability nnd made such a thorough study of geology that for two years ho was put in charge of one division of the survey that in southweste rn Colorado. Subsequently, under Instructions from his chief, he made a special Investiga tion of the cliff dwellings and other undent remains, and his report on the subject added still further to his reputation. Ex-President Cleveland, as Is well known, la an omnivorous newspaper reader, re lates the Saturday Evening Post.

In personal appearance she v as th exact ( pposlte of her bosom friend, Miss Anthony. One was tall and angular, the other plump and rosy. Miss Anthony disdained dress; Mrs. Stanton not only had good taste, but delighted In Its expression. She was never acid, even In her most en thusiastic moments. Miss Anthony, who Is herself ext remedy feeble, was preparing to visit Mrs. Stanton on tho occasion of her npxt birthday, which fell on November 12. Mrs. Stanton would have been 87 years oi l en that day. Miss Anthon) is past XO. Charles S. I.obingier, who has just been appointed a member of the Nebraska su premo court commission, is to all intents anil purposes n Nrbrnskan, although he was born In Illinois. Since he was 12 years of age he has lived In Nebraska and with the exception of his course in the Harvard law school has been educated In tho Rtate. Hp was reporter and editor of the supreme court's decisions and librarian of the state from 1S88 to 1S!2, being appointed Just after being graduated from the University of Nebraska. In 18!i2 he resigned to enter on the practice of law In connection with the late Charles Offutt. After Mr. OITutt's death Mr. Ioblngier continued alone. He Is a member of the Nebraska State liar association and the Omaha Rar association. Nebraska worklngmon are waking up to the fact that If they get nny favors from the law makers of the slate it will le because they ask for them. In order that what has hitherto been an open gate may In the future be at least partially closed, the Nebraska Stale Society of Labor ani Industry, at Its last session, decided to maintain at Lincoln during the coming ses sion of the legislature an ng"n, who will be especially charged with tho business of looking after bills that In nny way affect the Interests of labor, skilled or unskilled, organized or unorganized. John C. Lynch, a prominent member of the Omaha Plumb ers' union, was chosen for this mission. He will be assisted by four oilier members of unions, the five to constitute a general committee, and from time to time these will be reinforced by committers from the unions interested in any particular bill that may be pending. In this way it Is hoped to secure legislation favorable to the in terests of labor. At the close of the ses sion Mr. Lynch will make a report to the About Noted summer to (Jray Cables. Mr. Cleveland ucct ptcd the ulTcr. When they met again in the fall the profissor asked him how he' had enjoyed tho paper. "I didn't Bee any of them until yester day," said Mr. Cleveland. "Until yesterday?" inquired the professor. "What was the trouble? Had they sent I hem to' the wrong address?" "Every one of them," said the ex-preti-dent, with an Interesting twinkle in his eye, "was addressed to 'The Honorable (Irover Cleveland, Gray Gables, Oyster Ray, L. I.' " It Is somewhat curious that nearly all of England's prominent living soldiers are either bachelors or otherwise without male heir. Among them may be noted Ixird Rob erts, Iord Wolseby, Lord Kitchener, Sir Red vers Puller, General Radon-Powell, Sir Hector MacHonald and Lord Charles Beres ford. Roberts' son was killed in South Af rica, Wolseley, Reresford and Ruller have an unmarried daughter each, while Kitch ener, MacDonald and Raden-Powell persist ently fight shy of matrimony. A story comes from Scotland which is one of those little ironies of life about a millionaire being found traveling first class en a railroad with a third-clas ticket. The story refers to Mr. Andrew Carnegie and is to this effect: He weut to a small station and asked for a ticket. The aver age passenger at this point Is very demo JOHN C.

Hon. James Gow of Bellevue, Sarpy county, Neb., is another venerable father in the republican party whose first vote was cast for Henry Clay and who has only missed voting for the whig or ropuMlcan candidate for president since by reason cf the fact that he came to Nebraska in IS." 1 nnd as a resident of a territory had no vote In tho election of president. Since Ne braska was admitted to the union he has not missed voting for tho republican candidate. He ramo to Omaha in October, 1854, but re moved to Bellevue tho next year, where ho has made his home ever since. From lSIi!) to 1S62 he kept a hotel at Bellevue. Five terms he se'rved as county judge of Sarpy county ami one term in the legislature as representative from that county. He has taki n The Omaha Bee from its first Issue to the present day, and despite his 00 years Is hale nnd hearty and bids fair to vote for the next republican candidate for president. That there Is enough walnut timber in Nebraska to warrant I ho existence of a company for its exclusive handling is some thing of a surprise to those wont to think of Nebraska as a prairie state. It Is a fact, however, that there is a considerable growth of walnut trees over tho state, some, cf them of a size nnd quality that have been found acceptable even in the Liverpool market. The growth Is very Rcattered, the most of It being found near the Rlue river, not far from Seward. There the trees grow from twenty to f rty-eight Inches In dia meter, some of tho logs cutting 1,000 feet of lumber. While, In general, the quality Is nothing unusual, it is nil gcod nnd finds a I cady market. Randall, Davis & Wolfe, the walnut lumber company, will ship to Liver pool within tho week, three carloads of logs that have been cut near Seward. Tho moral, intellectual and material bet terment of young men commands the earnest efforts of phil nil hropic individuals anil organizations. Aiuong the latter the Young Men's Institute has earned a high place. Though Its membership Is limited to the Catholic church, It furnishes an ex ample of zeal and devotion worthy of emu lation by other religious bodies. The r ganl.ation extends from ocean to ocean nnd Its supremo council, which recently as sembled In Omaha, had representatives from California on the west and Virginia on the east. Most of the executive officers might be classed as adults, but their hearts are young nnd their zeal In the cause Is the more effective because tempered by years nnd experience.

The clerk, there fore, gave Mr. Carnegie a third-class ticket, and the philanthropist only discovered this when he was sternly asked on the train to pay the difference in farce. Of course, Mr. Carnegie produced the necessary amount. A correspondent describes M. Do Witte, the great Russian statesman, as a man of striking personality. Tall, heavy and strong, his frame has successfully with stood the ravages of hard nnd Incessant work, and at the ago of f.3 he is still in good health. He is not an attractive man. His manner la cold, his deportment stiff nnd awkward and his speech slow and unpol ished. It is for this reason that he Is un popular among the Russian aristocracy, whose manners betoken the French courtier and whose actions are quite abhorrent to M. De Witte. $ "Tim" Sullivan, who has come to the front so strongly In New York City poll tics of late, has been a saloon keeper for many years, but It is not of record that anyone ever saw him take a driuk. In Albany at one time he was taken seriously ill and a physician ordered him to take a stimulant. "Don't you think I can pull through without whisky?" asked Tim. "You might," was the reply, "but you are so frightfully run down that I dou't think you ought to risk it." Tim reflected for a minute and said: "I'll take the chance. D n if 1 11 take a drink."
