The Lcap-Year Duel.

Miss Bella Bradley went to WOO
A youth she worshiped madly,
But who, il seems, was recreant to
The suit of poor Miss Bailey;
For as Miss Brady came hard by
Her false young fellows dwelling
An awful sight engaged her eye
Her rival, Susan Melting
And Susan was a-telling
Her love with many a fond caress,
And coaxing him to answer yes.
Now when Miss Bradley, listening, heard
Her rivals pleading story,
Her patient, suffering soul was stirred,
And, s~traightway waxing CORY,
She cast her glove at Susan's feet
And then, with anger paling,
She cried: "Step out into the street
Where nelpis unavailing
And I'll give you a whaling!'
And it affords us pain to say
Miss Susan stepped without delay.
Then Bella went for Susan's hair,
And in the furious tussle
Miss Susan streaked the cold, pale air
With Bella's patent hustle.
Oh, who could paint that scene of gore,
With all its hideous features
And he who wrought them all this harm
Stood by and begged them to be calm.
BY those who searched that battle. ground
In hope of clew obtaining,
One little, crumpled bang was found
And that was all remaining
of charming Belle and pretty Sue,
Who, for a foolish passion,
Went out that evening to imbrue
In hostile female fashion,
With chignon, bangs, and sash on;
But whether bang # SUI or Belle,
The Borrowing youth could never tell.
But gathering mp the bang in haste
He hid it in his pocket,
And subsequently, had it placed
Within a golden locket;
And this he wears where'er he goes
And oft inspects the token
A sad reminder Of the woes
He brought on hearts now broken
But he has never spoken
The name of either Sue or Belle,
WHO loved not wisely but too we'll.

recently that since the beginning Of the year
he had established three industrial schools.
The ons at Chilocco, Indian territory, was
opened Jahuary 2lst, and has ia scholars.
The building at Lawrence, Kansas, has not
been completed, owing to the severe weather.
1t will be completed in April, when 300 chill
dren will be received. The contract for the
new school building ut Albuquerque, New
Mexico. HAS been let for $4,000, aud 1t will
be completed In July. There are now eighty
three industrial schools in operation in the In
dian country, and III day schools. The en-
rollment of children in these schools now
number 1924, which, Mr.. Haworth states,
Is one.fourth of the number Of Indian chill
dren of school age.
In April, 1882, the New York Cooking
School closed it's doors to the public. 1t was
the outgrowth of a theory that there were
thousands of young women engaged in the
tiresome rounds Of domestic toll and other &C
Gu p%atioLs Nl.r; hysical strength Is needed,
who would be eager to take ADVANTAGE of the
opportunity to fit themselves as capable cooks
aud housekeepers, where their wages would
lift them into comparative independence. All
the details of domestic economy were taught
in a most thorough manner. In addition, the
services of one of the foremost teachers Of
cookery In the country were retained in the
person of Miss Corson. Neither pains nor ex
pense was spared to make the institution one
Of the first rank. The school was open to
worthy young women above the age OF sixteen
exceptions being made in some cases to young
or girls. They were lodged and fed, and al
lowed four dollars per month pocket money.
Beyond the time taken up in attention to the
studies, they were allotted certain duties of q
household nature, with the restriction that IN.
mates should pass their evenings in the build
ing. The house was attractive, comfortable,
and handsomely furnished. The accommoda.
ions we're ample for more than thirty pupils,
but at no period Ia its history did the pupils
number half of this number.

Away, delusive organ man,
With notes of gentle spring,
It is an insane plan
A polar blast to bring

MIR. CLARK,s CAREER.
From Sec ton Boss TO Genera Manager
Of Great Corporation.


Prom the Omaha Hernld.
Many of our people can remember
when Mr.. Clark first came among us, in
1867, as general freight agent of the
Union Pacific railway, which then com
prised 300 miles of road between Omaha
and Brady Island. He was at that time
a mar of about thirty years, and fresh
from seven years of active work on the
New Jersey Central, where he started his
railway career in 1860 as foreman Of a
section Of track. With two or three years
of field surveying and engineering as a
basis, it was Mr.. Clark's intention to
thoroughly fit himself in the practical part
of the great work he had chosen, and so
closely did he apply himself to that object
that his promotion by successive steps,
from track boss to running a construction
train, then to the charge of the passenger
express. and finally to the general pas
senge and ticket business of one of the
Central leased lines on Long Island. was
rapid and deserved. 1t was while work
ing in this capacity that Mr. CLARK at
traeted the attention of Mr.. Dillon, and
the latter secured his services for the
Union Pacific. After serving as general
freight agent awhile Mr.. Clark was made
superintendent of the Platte division and
purchasing agent for the entire road. On
the completion Of the main line in 1869
the road was divided into the Eastern and
Western divisions, and Mr.. Clark was
placed in charge of the former, which in
cluded the Platte and Lodge Pole divi-
sions. In 1874 he was made general
superintendent of the entire road. and
four years later was made general man
ager. Under Mr.. Clark's direct supervi-
sion, the Union Pacific railway, which
consisted Of 800 miles Of roughly con-
structed road-bed tracked with iron rails
when he took charge Of it, has grown
into a gigantic system with nearly 5000
miles of road. Every foot of the main
line is tracked with the best grade of steel
rails, and the roadbed is in admirable con-
dition. The matter of a water supply,
which was one of the most serious OBJ
stacles to the economical and successful
operation of the road, has been perma-
nently solved by this outgoing man.
Thousands of miles of branch lines and
feeders have been built under his personal

MORE HOUSES NEEDED.
Activity in. Real Estate Deeds Not
Recorded.
One of the Most Profitable Invest
ments Overlooked.
Agents Unable to Meet the Demand
For Houses.

Il wish had the money to build some
small houses, said u business man to a
reporter yesterday. at is the most
paying investment l know of. Why, |
have a small house in the outskirts of the
city nearly completed, and l have received
five applications to rent it. 1t is small,
costing me only 5000, and | can easily
rent it for sl5 per month.
A few minutes afterwards the reporter
again met the gentlemen, who stated that
he had had two more applications to rent
the premises.
The reporter curiosity was excited by
the statement and he proceeded to %investi
the subject ofreal estate generally. He
found that there was considerable activity
in real estate and a constant increase in
prices of land property. Those interested
in real estate transactions at first stated
that there was only a moderate amount of
~conveyancing and that the increase in
prices were not 90 great as people i'm
agined. The records would s~ubstantiate
this statement.
But the records do not show all the
transfers made in the city," suggested the
reporter. Besides, nearly all the deeds
of conveyance that are left for record are
dated and acknowledged three or four
months ago"
The Spectator turned u~neasily in his
chair and then became quite confidential.
he knew that such was the case, but it
would not do to place all the transfers on
record. The increase in prices had been
very great, in fact, it would average fully
fifty per cent, but. if the fact were known,
prices would go up so that no one could
buy property at anything like a reason
able figure. There were many bogus
transfers, but there had been no property
sold at very low prices.
In regard to the ~reating of small houses
the gentleman stated that there was a
great demand for small houses. Rents
were high but he had no trouble in get
ting tenants. At the present rates these
houses were a paying investment. A
house that costs $500 rents for Sl5, and
one that cost 5000 for $40 per month.
OF course, all depends on location, but
these figures would form the basis Of a
iair estimate. The city is steadily i~ncreas-
ing in population and there is hardly a
vacant house. Those being constructed
are nearly all rented as soon as completed.
There are fifty more houses required at
least, and it is thought that a hundred can
be rented. OF course it will not be ex-
pedient to override the matter, but were
there fifty more Of these houses erected
they could easily be rented at the prices
nov being paid.
As to stores, when those now being
erected were finished there were would be
enough for the business purposes of the
city. At present there was not one
vacant, and this was the pest evidence of
the city's prosperity. What was needed
were more small houses, There were
stores enough.

A New Alloy.

LWU1NtbV WI
A new alloy named delta metal" has been
manufactured in England by u Mr.. Alexan-
der Dick, and a steam launch constructed
herewith by Yarrow & Co, the famous
launch and torpedo builders. This metal is
said to be equal in strength, durability and
toughness to mild steel. Consequently the
plates and angle pieces Of this launch were
made of the same thickness-namely, three
thirty-seconds Of an inch. The advantage OF
this metal over steel or iron is that 1t does
not rust, while steel, In warm climates, and
especially in central Africa, unless contin
ually painted, possesses a extraordinary
corrosive tendency. The metal is also used
for castings OF all kinds.

A Teuton Tries to Break a Colt But
Fails.

A German yesterday had a colt which
he was anxious to reduce to a state of
semi-tractibility. Of course the colt had
no means of explaining his thoughts on
the subject and he vas brought out and
hitched to a skeleton wagon without max
ing any protest. With grave elaboration
the Teuton grasped the reins and took his
place on the seat. Up to this time there
was no manifestation of any disagreement
but it was very apparent to the spectators
that there was a serious dissention brew
ing between the parties.
The colt didn't manifest any disposition
to go straight ahead. On the contrary,
he made a dodge sideways as suddenly
as a mar turns when he meets a persistent
collector. No sooner was he brought
back than he made a break in the op-
posite direction. Trouble now began in
dead earnest. The struggle was ten times
more lively than a hippodrome Greco
Roman wrestling match. Finally the
colt got a grape vine lock on the skeleton,
and in a moment the wagon was a wreck
and the Teuton was lying on the ground
in a mixed up condition.
The colt was caught; the driver re-
cruited himself, but the wagon didn't.
The performance will probably be re-
pcated, but it would not be a good plan
to announce the date or locate the parade
ground, for were it done there would be a
bigger crowd than even gathered under
Barnum's Mammoth canvass.
The colt Mt present Is taking a vaca-
ton, the wagon is being revamped and the,
driver is so good natured that his mother
in-law can't create a disturbance in the
family. Adversely sweetens a mans
temper sometimes.
