OBSERVATIONS.
''V0O.
Etiquette of Titles.
Members of the British peerage
used to come to this country to hunt
bulla lo, bear, deer, moosu and other
large game. OMate years such game
is scarce, but still tho Englishmen
come, not in deerstalkers but in
tweeds and broadcloth. Old castles
and baronial halls need to bo roofed
and tho comfortless homes turned
over to tho plumbers. Rents from
the estate being Insufficient to ac
complish these repairs, it Is not sur
prising that tho distracted owners
should come to America or send their
Mius to find a woman to help them
put their houses in order. Tho bulla
1 lo, the deer, and tho mooso, oven tho
''far and tho mountain lion used to
inn from tho English hunters. All
ll'ls is changed. Immediately on
their arrival In New York, tho hunt
i''N If they are noble, aro surrounded
ith game willing tobo taken alive.
f course there Js not much sport in
this new attitude of American game,
but so long as Blenheim must bo
""ofed and lltted with sanitary plumb
rank she retains her title of hlrt.li
Thus. Lady Violet Greville, of "Placo
aux Dames" fame, would be simply
Lady (Baroness) Greville did not the
fact that she was a Duke's daughter
give her precedence over a Baron's
wife.
The Omaha Exposition.
It is impossible to visit the exposi
tion grounds without regretting that
it has not been a success. Casting
liside any state or local jealousy, and
forgetting the affronts offered to
newspapers by Mr. Outright, the, man
whe unfortunately for the wellfarcof
the exposition was placed in charge
of the department of publicity, the
The complaint of small patronage
from the concessionaires indicates
that perhaps that sort of thing Is not
the only thing that pays at expo
sitions. At any rate the midway has
died tirstaud pcoplo aro really Im
proving the last days of the exposition
to sec the pictures and the really in
teresting exhibits.
Golf.
Of all the games men and women
play, golf is the most healthful and
develops most vigorously the sports
man like qualities, that arc under an
other name, tho cardinal Christian
virtues. Unfortunately the game has
earner. Besides tho nleln air and tho
sun aro making a healthful springy
young animal of the girl whoso moth
er at her ago was a victim of tight
lacing lato suppers and Trench novels.
The rivalry of the links Is also bene
tlc'al. A spirit which while striving
strenuously to win can bo perfectly
fair and generous, accepting defeat
goodnaluredly and success modestly,
is wholly admirable. And there is
no doubt that games touch forbearanco
and fairness better than tho strife
and struggle of commercial life. Tho
dollar spoils sport. I wish that next
spring golf links and a club house
might be built here.
The new baseball association is
seeking to arrange for some good
games but professionalism has de
stroyed baseball as a Christianizing
Influence. What wo really need Is a
game that all can play and be as little
children again.
The New Fl Chief.
As head of the fire committee of the
city council Mr. Woodward is a vcrv
buildings in their beautiful setting not reached Nebraska, where there herlous obstacle to the senslb'econduct
or that department. The Courier lias
stated several times before that lie

separate For instance ho allows a
predilection f;r ex fire chter Newberry
to Influence his consideration of the
qualifications of Chief Clement.
Whereas Newberry's desire to 1111 tho
of grass, trees and flowers are a pue
delight to the eyes.
The art building contains the
largest and most carefully selected
exhibltof pictures ever shown so rar
west. There were no catalogues on
sale and it is therefore difficult to
describe by name and painter even
tho most remarkable of the pic
tures in the exquisitely proportion
ed rooms of the art building. To the
collector or collectors of the exhibit so

Swinging along the course tho pi ay
