At tho foot of Market ttreet tho

"Welcome, Nebraska, wolcomo homo."
Two blocks farther on tho mon were

S rings of bells reaching from the roofs

Cymbals were made of vast boiler

GOULD'S NOVEL SMOKING ROOM
Undine Klentrlo I'm Decoration on
III Ynvlit .ItHlnnta.
George J. Gould, who is commodore
of the Atlantic Yacht club, has recent
ly had a number of alterations made to
the Interior of his magnificent steam
yacht Atalanta, which, as every ono
knows, is ono of the most luxuriously
equipped yachts on this side of the At
lantic. When the Atalanta was origin
ally built, Borne thirteen years ago, for
Jay Gould, the father of the present
owner, yachtsmen came from far and
near to examine the wonderful carv
ings In her dining saloon, which Is the
most magnificent apartment of its kind
en any yacht. On the Atalanta, as is
the custom on many English yachts,
the owner's quarters are forward In
stead of aft, as is usually the case, and
the principal apartment on the main
deck is a large ladles' saloon, which
leadB by a stairway aft to the dining
saloon below. This year Mr. Gould
had about ten feet taken off the after
end of the ladles' saloon, which he has
converted Into a smoking room and
buffet, where he can drink a cocktail and
smoke a friendly cigar without being
disturbed. This room, though hardly
noticeable, on account of its size, being
only about ten feet square, Is chiefly re
markable for Its unique decorations
and the inscriptions on its walls, which
instantly attract the attention of tho
most blase yachtsmen on account of
their beauty and originality. Tho
room which Mr. Gould calls his "den"
is beautifully paneled in white ash,
surrounded by re'd leather-covered
sofas. While this Is not very remark
able In Itself, the decorations are, for
burned Into the wood for about a tenth
of an Inch by the aid of an electric
pen are scroll-work figures running
along the wall, sides, and even In the
beams supporting the celling. The
contrast between the Bmoky character
of the decorations and the white ash
back-ground is remarkably beautiful,
and has attracted the attention of every
visitor on the Atalanta since the room
has been opened. In case any visitor
should forget his real reason for enter
ing the room in his admiration for the
decorations, Commodore Gould has
kindly burned into the wall the follow
ing inscription:
If on my theme I rightly think, there
are five reasons why we drink:
Good wine, a friend, because I'm dry,
or lest
I should be by and by, or any other
reason why.
"We won't count this one."
While on the other side of the room
are the following lines:
Would'st thou know the secrets of the
sea?
Only those who comprehend Its dangers
Comprehend Its mysteries.
This Is about the first work of Its
kind ever done by the electric pen,
and, judging by the result on tho Ata
lanta, It has opened a new field for
tho decoration of natural wood. Now

The czar is not less careful of his
life than his predecessors, but he
adopts (imerent methods for safeguard
ing himself. Instead of having three
trains ready w 'ien he Is going on a
Journey and leaving tho anarchists to
guess which train is conveying him, aa
his father did, he simply allows no one
to know his plans. Tho route Is pub
