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.

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,

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.
