AMERICAN SOCIETY.

American society, as now car
ried on, is maintained solely for
the benefit Of the young girls,
and is generally little better
than a marriage mart. The pa
rents launch their offspring as
well as possible, and display
their wares to. the greatest adj
vantage, but tho business of the
market is carried on chiefly by
the young girls themselves, In
stead Of their mothers, as In
England or Europe. There is
no special objection to this
method Of transacting the bust.
ness, but it 10 preposterous that
young girls and their affairs
should overshadow and shut out
Everything and everybody else.
The result of this ABSORPTION in

American society il often in

PARKS AND
A Scheme which Would Take Well In
Omaha.

The legislature of Minnesota has
had under consideration a bill to the
effect that city councils of the different
towns In the state shall be allowed to
exercise their discretion In granting to
persons the right to add plats Of ad-
ditions and subdivisions to any city In
the state, and to compel any person
who desires to make q new plat to the
city to donate one.twentieth Of the
land plated for public parks and for
the city's use. The act will probably
become q law. A citizen of Omahs
yesterday, In referring to the matter,
said that 1t would be a good thing Il
some such was adopted BY
the Nebraska legislature. The recen,
city ordinance allowing the residents
along Dodge street and other residence
portions of the city to use a portion o.
the street for grass plats has already
had a good effect, and adds much tc
the appearance OF the city.
The Minnesota law would be q goot
thing for Omaha in the matter o.
parks, as the city to-day has nothing
Of the kind outside of the Hanscon
park and Jefferson square. Of COURSE

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Alleged Case Of Poisoning for
Lpve'S Sake,
It is Liable to be Investis ated
Yet.

Some time ago, In the closing days
of the old year, a we'll known resident
Of Omaha, an accomplished musician,
died very suddenly.
The physicians who attended him
pronounced 1t q case of heart disease,
and the dead man was buried with.
out an investigation.
Three weeks later, the widow mar
ried again, and there was q m In
the neighborhood that there had been
foul play In the case, and there was
more than one whisper to the effect
that the death of the husband was
brought about by the connivance of
his wife and her lover.
On the day before his death the man
was up town during the forenoon, and
in n perfect health as he had been for
some time, though he was not abso.

some medicine for him, 1t appears,
and he took a portion of 1t In the
afternoon and became very sick. On
the following morning, which was
Saturday, he was up town, but re-
turned home feeling worse than ever,
vas taken to his bed, and died at $3.50
p. m.
A few days ago q man called on
Coroner Jacobs and Informed him that
he was present when the man died

witnesses, but not being converssnt
with the law In such cases and fearing
that 1t would involve them In some
expense, nothing was said to tbs
proper authorities at the time. A.
stated, the rumor was spread about
and eventually was carried to the cor

TIMELY ATTENTION.

Much money might be saved to
the government and much inconveni-
ence and annoyance to the people
by a little timely attention to road
repairs. We say, timely attention.,
because the custom of this country
is, to make a road and then leave it
untouched until it becomes thor
oughly unfit for traffic. 'Yhe results
are, grumbling and heavy outlay
for repairs. Timely attention would
entirely avert the former and greatly
reduce the latter; for it is immense
ly more satisfactory to the people
and less costly to the government to
keep road constantly in repair
than to restore it to proper condi-
ton after long neglect. In road
matters, as we'll as in wearing app
parcl, ga stitch in time saves nine" "

ARTISTIC OosruM1NG.

Those who have had the good for
tune in other lands to visit first
class costumier's establishment will
remember the display of art in all its
forms which met the eye in walking
through the suites of rooms. 1t
seems indispensable to the artistic
designer and creator of costumes
that he or she should be constantly
surrounded by all that is lovely in
the way of decorations, and it is
acting on this principle that Messrs.
Ehlers & Co. have spent upwards of
$4,000 on erecting and decorating
their dress-making rooms. The
latest novelties in embroidered and
lace Eangings, fringes. rep curtains,
baldacchins, cover the walls and
carpet the floor; the most elegantly
upholstered furniture is distributed
throughout the rooms; and judici.
GUS use of plate glass mirrors adds
lightness and effect to the salons.
Everything is arranged in true
Partisan style.
Mcssrs. Ehlcrs & Co., too, have
been thoughtful enough to provide,
in addition to the reception and fit
ting rooms, retiring rooms for ladies
to arrange their toilet without the
necessity of going home, every con-
vcnience being furnished.
On the staircase leading to the
rooms are displayed the latest
novelties in cretonnes, and the plain
and Pompadour sateens which are
now so much used in contrasting
costumes. -
We advise Our lady readers and
friends to step in for a few minutes,
if only to enjoy the luxury of a loll
in the easy chairs while listening to
the pleasant conversation Of Mrs.
+. e. Small, the superintendent,
or Miss Jones, the exquisite cutter.

will want to 60 again.

constructed so that in the openings
that communicate with each cylinder
are placed valve-seats, fitted for the
reception of the same style of valves
as in the induction passage.
The check-valve in the neck of
each chamber allows n small q,lanti-
ty of air to enter above. the water, to
prevent the steam from agitating it
on its first entrance, and thus forms
an air piston for preventing conden-
sation.
When the water has been displaced
by the steam which follows the water
through the opening to the discharge
chamber, it will suddenly condense
by passing under the water, and the
vacuum thereby formed will cause
the steam ball to change. shut off the
steam, and transmit the pressure to
the opposite cylinder, and at the
same time induce the water to fill the
chamber in place of the condensed
steam.
Thus will they alternate, keeping
up very nearly continuous stream,
as long as there is steam supplied
and water to he pumped. .9aH
1t will therefore he observed that
the New Pllsometer, containing as
it does no mechanical element to
absorb power, and possessing the
advantage of the force of the vacuum
in the chambers alternately to raise
the water without the expense of
power, it's economy must be apparent
to all.
1t is claimed that it will raise from
20 to IS per cent. of mud, ETC.. along
