Kanoa Cocbixb: It eeeeM te bm that it ia about time for some one to ea ter a mild protest agaiaat the dkcrim iaatioa that ha grows ap ia tha aai srsity against atadenta of art If there ia a young maa or womaa oat ia Wyom lag or oyer ia Iowa who waste an adaeatioB to prepare him or her ta ea ter the prof eeekB of law, medicine elec trical engineering, farming or almost say other of tha gainfal occapattoae thie etate aaya to him: "Come to the Nebraaka university, and you aball ba prepared at the cost ot the dtiaeoa of tha etate eo that 70a caa make your way ia the world." Bat it there ia a yoaog bub or woman iB thia etate whoee only taleat ie for art, who can never hope to eater any other gainfal occapatioa or pretsasioa, the authorities ot the uni Taraityaay to him or her: "You caa earns here and enroll as a etodeat ot the aaireraity, we will kindly aay that yoa ara ander our wing, bat aa for edacatioB inert, that yoa will hare to pay for yoaraelf. We educate free of coat all other atadenta, bat for artkts, all that ws can do tor you k to give you the aaa of tha hall-way, where crowded together aader the inetraction ot a teacher whoee aalary ia paid by the. charitable people of Lincoln and tuition feee yoa may get aa education in art if yoa can. It ia trae that the legielature did appropiate aaoaeytobuilda hall for art etadeata and the architect eo planned it that it coald be used for art purposes, bat we have taken it for other purpoaea. We do net look upon art aa a profeeeioa or gaiafal occupation, but only aa a aort ot a 'fad'. It ie trae that wo mast make come kind ot a pretence that we have as art department, to preeerre the good name and etandiag of the aaireraity, aad that k the way we do it." Art, howerer, ia aa much a gainfal occapation aa civil engineering or farm ing, Bad a larger proportion ot art ata denta went directly from the art depart ment into paying poeitione than from aay other department laat year. Two or three more would hare done eo, bat they were unable to pay the cost ot the ed ucation which is freely bestowed upon all other students and were forced to giro up the only hope they had ot en tering a gainful accupation. Some of the straggles ot these art students to obtain inetraction daring the last year would appeal to the sympathies of aay man who had a heart aa big as a pea. Tha large feea and cost of art materiala to enable one or two to attend tha class es, were paid by a generous hearted citi sea or two aad the recipients hare bees started upoa a career is life, that other wks would hare been absolutely impos sible bat for each assistance. There would be no art department at tha aaiTeraity at all except for the hard work and generous contributions of the membere and officers ot the Haydon Art dab. For some years they hare em ployed am-instructor aad provided aa far aa they could for the expenaea ot tha department. After all that they caa do, . it ia necessary to charge heavy tuitioa feea aad many youag people who have taleat for art are uaable to pay them. The charging of tuitioa feea for eta dentals tha art departmeat, wsea ao such charges ara made is aay other de partmeat ot the university, ia making a discrimination against ose class ot citi sens never contemplated by those who laid so broad and deep tha fouadatioae of university education ia thia state. But worse than that, the taking away from them the hall that waa built for them it being the only room on tha campus where the light ia each aa to give any chance for the successful per suit ot their profession ie a downright shame, which if called to the attention ot the Begenta and legislature will ao doubt' be remedied. There is a call for art teachers all over thia state and the university ia aa much bound to furnish them aa it ia to furnish civil engineers, lawyers, electri cians and blacksmiths, all of which they do educate at the expeaae of the state at the university. The citizens ot Lia cola have been very generous ia their contribatitkna to the art department, but they should do one thing more. They should call a public meeting and draw the attention ot the legislature, tha Regents and the people generally to tha discrimination made against students in tha art departmeat. If thia is done, no doubt the evila complained ot will be speedily remedied. T. H. Tubus. r BSBBBsaeBBBBteeeseweeeaeeeeeesesseea)eaeaeeeeeeeeeaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Lonflon L1. The Princess of Wales is much bright er since she came home. While in Den mark, amid all the sad surroundings, she seemed unable to shake off her de pression snd used to cry dreadfully. At home she has so much to delight her daughters, grandchildren, friends and pets that she ia already getting back into routine and cheering up; so much f o that she begins to talk ot appearing again ia society rfter Easter a thing which she at first declared she would sot dream ot doing. The Prince u in the beet ot spirits on account ot the ad mirable behavior of his leg; no doctor believed that it would heal aa it has done; he can walk quite nicely without a stick. Christopher Sykee' improved condition is another source of joy. The Prince, however, is plsying second fiddle just now. We can talk of no one bat the Sirdar. It is most amusing to ace the way n which the smart woaen worship him and praise him up, wearing all the while the odd little mortified smile that betrays their sense of help neatness. "You know he's quite a women-hater," said one ot them yesterday! "he won't even have married officers it he can help it!" Which is trae. Never theless, gossip k already opening wide eyes to watch the result ot his visit to Lord Bosebery, whose guest he is to be while he ia ia Scotland. It would be a very pretty romance if sweet and serious, if girlish, Sybil Primrose were to touch the apparently impervious heart ot the nation's hero! I hear from Borne 'that the lovely Duchess d'Aosta haa delighted everyone by having a son. The Duke d'Abruzxi cares only for travelling, and therefore hopes to escape being a ruler; the Count ot Turin is waiting until the snrmssion is secured ia order to marry the woman ha loves. By the way, did you ever hear tha story ot one ot our noted English beauties and the Duke d'Aostaf He made her remarkable at a Quirinal Ball two or three winters ago by dancing with her rather too often. At last she got tired and asked him to take her in to supper. Having got all he waated, and being disinclined to take trouble, be dedined, aad said be was tired of talk ing English. "Ob," ssid the girl with a fiash of her eyes, "I know one Italiaa word, at least." "Ob.do yoa?" he asked, DO YOU WANT UNDERWEAR THAT WILL PITJTOU WITH COMFORT AND KEEP YOU WARM? Underwear to give entire satkfacti0 muat not only be ot good quality but it must be correct ia shape sa well. We have full lines ot the beat low and me dian priced underwear oa the market . and ia addition we are exclusive Lia cola agents for three ot the most cele brated makes of high grade underwear on the market. They are the "Mune ing.M the "Ypeitante" and the "Stut garter." We have the best numbers ot all these ia stock. You are invited to see them. MIfofeER & PAINE IMIIMMIIIIM m leeeeeeeeeseeeesseeeef rashly; -what ia it?' "Porco!" said she, very distinctly, and turned her back up on him I am told that several people who pre sumed upon iatimacy iB order to try aad -draw" the Prince of Wales about the Fashoda dispute got smartly snubbed for their pains. Albert Edward, for so loquacious a man, ia really very clever at holding his tongue when he finds it necessary. Not one word, good, bad or indifferent, could be got out ot him on the subject. He floored one questioner a favorite, whom he did cot wish to rebuke by merely looking straight at her and saying nothing, winking his left eye violently the while! (Please to un derstand that the ordinary wink was aot intended; this wink of hie is a nervous affliction that always cornea on when he is surprised, agitated or anxious. It looks very funny!) Ot course, he has so many friends in France that he would have found it mast embarrassing to pro nounce upon international questions. TbeQueeB, however, laughed heartily last week when one ot her ladies express ed dread of "war with France." She seemed to imply that there had never been aay idea ot such a thing. For my part, I think we want a few of German "Billy V methods to enable us to deal with our press. Patriotism is one thing; incendiarism another; worst ot all ia the cooking of news in order to tatch stray pence! Would you believe that a promi nent evening paper disgraced itself last week by printing enormous headlines on its posters, immediately under the Fash oda items; "Calling out the Volunteers?" There waa quite a small scare in the dty; even sober mea in banks were say ing: "Well, that doee sound serious; I'm told that the Volunteers are to be called out. Is it true? Where did you hear it?" At last a friend ot mine got a paper and searched its column. What he found waa that ths War Office con templated withdrawing from active ser vice all Volunteers who had passed the age of fifty five years. Now, what do yoa think of journalism that has re course to such methods? The new ITarquk and Marchioness of Anglesey make no pretence ot being heartbroken at their sudden accession to the family honors. Lord Uxbridgs, aa he used to be called, saw little of his late father, who lived ia Park since his third marriage aad the pair did not "get on." Not that the heir objected to Paris; he spent much of his youth there, aad k in many respects more like a Frenchman than aa Englishman. He k twenty three oaly; a Bice boy, tall and fair and smart, with elective eyeglasses. He k a great judge of costume, delighting to array hk bride in tbe daintiest confec tions. She k extremely sweet; slender pink and white, with lovely deep Mae eyes, golden red hair and a soulful ex pression. She is rather devote, aa well as smart, having 'verted three years age to the Roman Catholic church. Bat she loves gayety also; therefore she will suit him excellently. The pair are aot like so many young aristocrats who succeed to peerages and estates crip pled for a year by the death duties; Lord Uxbridge was hk mother's heir, and she waa very wealthy, apart from the late Marquk' fortune. Therefore, when their mourning is over these young people will do a great deal to enliven so ciety and improve trade. The world k chattering loudly about the engagement of Mrs. Aaquitha father. Sir Charles Tennant lost hk wife three years ago; but nobody imagined that he would marry again at the age of seventy -five. However, the festive old gentle man mesne to do as he likes. His bride elect is the youngest daughter of ths late Col. William Miles, of Burtonhill. Malmesbury. Sir Charles is a great golfer, like all the Tennaats. He has three married sons, of whom the eldest k husband of Pamela Wyndham, one of the beauties among tbe "Souls." Another interesting engagement k that of Lady Newtown-Butler's ekter, Mies Mabel Tombs, to Captain Combs, of the Eleventh Hussars. Just now that we have military fever badly, the army men will carry off all the beauties. Yoa insy remember that Lady Newtown-Butler, as Mks Gladys Tombs, was the sensation ot the town a few years ago. Her portrait at the Groevenor Gal lery had a constant crowd before it. Now she is a lovely young matron with beautiful children. I must tell you of the very successful debut made at one of the Queen's Hall Symphony Concerts by a countrywoman of yours. Miss Lillian Blaurelt. She was heralded by no "puffs preliminary;'' yet the critics have been delighted with her, and she seems likely to have a great future. Her voice k a pure, sweet, bird like soprano. She haa been trained ia Park, Jam told. She was four times recalled, but dedined the encore. I am pleased to add that when she k singing shs looks as nice as she sounds. The time has come to lay In your WINTER'S COAL and wood.
