THE C0UX1BK. 5i . , - SOCIAL GOSSIP. Friends of C. Y. Smith may find prooi of his susceptibility in the follow ing interesting letter from Maine: "Rockland, Maine, Aug. 11, 1895. The sun shines not; a gentle rain is falling, and the guests of Bay Point Hotel walk along the long veranda and wish aloud for some signs of clearing off. I am contented as it is, with pen in hand, writing idly; for at my sido she sits, writing too, to whom I know not; but we both use ink from tho same bottle. I might put aside my pen and allow her the sole use of the bottle of ink, but somehow I can't. I hope her letter will be a lorg one. I am sure I can write for sometime yet, though it be of nothing. I would give a cookey to know whether she is writing to a lady or a gentleman, but she has covered up the address of her letter so I can't see it. It's awfully provoking and I am very anxious to know. After all it may be to her brother and I wouldn't care if it was. I really hope it is. I would feel so much easier in mind if I knew it was. She looks so pleasant and agreeable I nave half a mind to ask her, but I wouldn't offend her for the world. I don't wish to appear egotisti cal, but every now and then as she dips her pen in the ink she takes side glance3 at me. Guess she would laugh if she knew what 1 was writing. If it should bo my good fortune to meet her, I believe I will tell her. It savors a little of romanticism, does it not? My pen trembles a little, but I must keep on for she has started a new page. She has written six pages and I have just finish ed two. Usually I am a very fast writer, but something is wrong today. She writes a very nice hand, sort of half backhanded, but very regular. If I know anything about graphology, she is a very clever girl. Very honest in all she does, nothing flighty about her, a girl of beautiful character. Not exactly a beauty but very far from homely. Just that kind you know, that one could look upon every morning, noon and night across the table and feel that there was something in this world to live for." Ed Bignell and family have been in Des Moines visiting Mrs. Bignell's brother J. C. Ritchey. The Saturday Review of Des Moines contains an ac count of a large picnic given in honor of the Lincoln visitors. A feature of the carnivals in New Orleans and St. Louis, after which the prospective Ak-Sar-Ben festival in Omaha is patterned, is the grand ball. Usually there are restrictions, as to the issuance of invitations, and an attempt is made to prevent undesirable persons from attending. The attempt is not always successful. In the cities named a portion of society recognizes and at tends these balls, while another portion gnores them as entirely too "mired." Those who have in charge the Court Ball of the Knights of Ak-SarBen, which has been arranged for Thursday evening September 10, are determined to exercise such control in the matter of attendance as will insure the presence of the most desirable people, and make the ball a social event of real impor tance. It remains to be seen whether theii efforts will be successful. No tickets will be sold, it is said, to persons who have not received invitations. The following concerning the ball is from the Omaha Excelsior: "The social season in Omaha this fall will be inaug urated with unusual eclat by the Court Ball of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben on Thursday ovening, September 19. On this occasion tho Second Infantry and First Regiment bands will furnish the dance and promenade music, alter nating in their selections. Extensive preparations are going on at tho Col iseum, which the Knights have leasod for five years. The. floor is being relaid inside the bicycle track. The north and south euds of this oval will be carpeted and supplied with easy chairs, leaving an immenEO space, 150x120, which will be covered with canvas for (lancing. On the west will rise tho boxes for the king and maids of honor, and on tho east sido seats will be reserved for spectators. Only those in full dress will be admitted to tho dancing floor, and an entrance wilt be provided for tho dancers on ho south side of tho build ing. Largo and commodious dressing and toilet rooms have been provided for the accommodation of tho dancers. Tho interior of tho building will be painted in brilliant white, decorated with 6,000 yards of red, green and yellow bunting, the colors of Ak-Sar-Ben. Tho build ing will be illuminated by arc lights of the colors of the king. Invitations to the ball are being engraved, and will be Issued to the number of 4,000 about September 1. Tickets, admitting a gen tleman and two ladies will bo furnished to invited guests for $10; single tickets, admitting either gentleman or lady, 85." J. II. Dobson left Monday for Utica, N. Y., where he will assist J. K. Doane, formerly of this city in Y. M. C. A. work. Mr. Dobson has for some years past been employed in the office of the North Printing Company. Ho was a member of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. The Patriarchs have arranged their usual series of hops for the coming season. Six years of healthy growth have strengthened the vitality of this club until it occupies a unique position in the social life of Lincoln. At the last business meeting in the spring the club adopted a new consti tution md early in October they will meet and eh ct flicers for tho winter. The life of the Empire club has been threatened by the organization of the new club, but I have no doubt when its members reflect on the fact that no new organization, whatever its merits, can replace what it displaces, they will rally round their old standard and have a better time than ever. The Pleasant Hour, the Ravola. the Empire and the Patriarchs have appar ently included the dancing people of the city. The formation of the Lincoln club, however, seems to indicate their inadequacy. 8100 DOLLARS REWARD $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatement. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disea se, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for anycase that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testi monals. Address, F. J.
