Ii is not so much a c-ondescension
Of society TO literature as it is a dis
covery that literature and art, in the
persons of those who produce both,
may be sources of amusement, or per
haps, to be just, of the enlargement of
the horizon and the improvement OF
the mind. The society mind was never
before so hospitable to new ideas and
new sensations. Charities, boards OF
managers, missions, hospitals, news
rooms, and lodging houses for the il.
literate and the homeless-these are
not sufficient, even with balls,
dancing classes and teas, Of
the superfluous energies of this
restless, improving generation there
must be also radical clubs, read
ing classes, study classes, ethical, his
t%orical, scientific, literary, lectures,
the reading of papers by ladies of dis
tinction and gentlemen OF special at
tainments-an unremitting pursuit of
culture and information. Curiosity
is awake. The extreme of social re-
finement and a mild Bohemianism al
most touch. 1t passes beyond the af-
fectation of knowing persons who
write books and write for the press,
artists in paint and artists in music

MAKE II LLEELY

Next Tuesday and Wednesday should
be red letter days in the history Of Chsy-
enne.
Tuesday signalizes the laying of the
cornerstone of the Union Pacific shops.
which will eventually be as large and well
equipped as any railway shops in the
country and IRON their completion this
fall must contribute materially to the
growth and prosperity of the town This
therefore, of itself. furnishes sufficient in
centive for the people of Cheyenne to
give vent to their qualification and en-
thusiasm. Every military and civic or
SANITATION in the city should be represent
ed in the line.
The rnam OF the frcmen from
northern Colorado and southern Wyom-
ing will furnish many interesting specta-
cles for visitors, so that taken altogether
there is no reason why Cheyenne
should'n nj celebrate with much vim July
9 and 10.

Worth, the famous French" dress
maker, is a native born Englishman.
de is a man of striking appearance,
with a rather Scotch type of face,
which is made more noticeable by the
Scotch cap he usually wears. His pa
rents intended him for a printer, but
he disliked to soil his fingers with
printers ink, and decided for the dry
goods trade, beginning in London,
and finally going to Paris, where he
found favor with the Empress Eu-
genie, and consequently with the
fashionable world which she led. NJ.
Worth has a fine chateau near Paris,
where he is very fond of entertaining
his friends and customers. among
whom a large percentage are Ameri-
cans .-Harper's Bazaar.

Hostetter stomach Bitter People
score Another Point.

In the United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York,
Judge Shipman handed down an opinion
a few days ago in the suit OF the owners
OF the trade marks covering Hostetor's
Stomach Bitters against Arnold Theller
and Cornell Theller, the compounders To-
Gated on Vesey street, New York City, in
which it was decided that, although, the
defendants made use of their own names
on the labels affixed to the bottles contain
ing bitters prepared by them, yet as they
were evidently designed to initiate Hos
letter labels, they were i~nfringers, and a
perpetual injunction wa granted and an
accounting of damages ordered, together
with the costs of the suit. 1t is the evi.
dent intention OF the Hostetter people to
protect their valuable trade mark against
all infringers.

A BIG VOTE,

In the whirl of Fourth of July celebra-
tons. cornerstone layiugs and firemen's
tournament it should not be forgotten
that on Monday the people vote for dele
gates to the constitutional convention.
While this is much of a formality in Lar
annie county owing to the fact that a fu-
sion ticket has been placed in the field,
nevertheless for the honor Of the banner
county in the territory a very large vote
should be polled in all the precincts in the
county.
Anyone who can vote for members of
the Legislature can vote for delegates to
the constitutional convention.
Everybody should turn out to the polls
on Monday.

BISMARCK has ceased to be a tower of
strength 10 his own land, and the latest
insult to the great ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
was a motion to reduce his salary.
Judged from the standpoint Of European
government salaries. Bismarck is very
poorly paid, for his stipend is but sl3, 500.
The attempt to reduce this modest salary
of course failed, but that any one dared
propose such a thing is a significant iudi-
cation that the Chancellor's power is on
the wane.

THE BOYS DID WE'LL.

Cheyenne distinguished itself abroad
on the Fourth of July. The Alerts and
Hook and Ladder boys each captured a
second prize in Greeley while the Chey-
amt Guards, next to Gen Sherman him
self, we're the observed of all observers in
Denver. The boys have done themselves
and the city proud and should not fail to
add to their glory in the home celebration
next Tuesday and Wednesday.
The 18th regiment band was the biggest
musical feature of the Denver parade and
Cheyenne feels as proud of it as though 1t
were a local institution.

ANOTHER legal difficulty regarding ex-
e%cutious by electricity in New York has
arisen. A man named Nolan is under
sentence of death for a murder committed
before the act came into force. His coun-
sci argue that he cannot be electrically
executed, because his crime was commit
ted before such punishment was legalized,
and that he can not be hanged, because
the hangman and his apparatus have
been banished from the state.

NEEDS

Denver is a very good town to urge or
CARNATIONS to visit it on great occasions
but it Is a very poor town to treat them
decently when they reach there. Its APP
p~earance is quite fine, but until its munici
pal go Sernment catches up with its munich
pal growth it will always have the air OF
an overfed and underlined bully. Denver
needs regeneration as badly as ANY town
we an recall.

Every good writer has much iGiom,"

language" and this truth is well illus.
trated-though in homcly fashion-by
the racy talk of men who have lived
much by themselves, whether in the back
districts of New England or in the newer
portions of the west.
Such men have not been accustomed,
as has well been said, to empty their
brains in loose small talk, and when they
speak, they are apt to say something.
They run naturally to aphorism, and
their wit is not only dry, but has what
Lowell calls "native and puckery fla

1t was a man of this class who declared
of certain neighborhood that the folks
were $50 thievish they he'd to take in

SCOTLAND, S. D., April 3.-Another
terrible prairie fire swept over the cOun-
try south of Scotland yesterday after
noon, and its path is now marked
by the slumbering embers Of many
homes. The wind has been blowing at
the rate of fully sixty miles an hour all
day, and with the high grass rs dry as
finder the terrific force of the fire is be-
yond description. At B O'Clock word
was brought into town that the prairie
was On fire northwest Of the town, and
Immediately 100 men started in teams
toward the the approaching fire armed
with brooms and sacks. Arriving at
Alfred Browns farm, two miles north,
all his barns, gronaries ard cattle sheds
were in blazing mass, and the efforts
of the crowd We're directed to saving his
residence and beating the fire out that
would in a short time have swept down
upon the town. Browns residence was
saved, but all his household effects that
had been carried out were burned.
One mile north of Browns place the fire
burned Henry Hagelfry out Of his every
earthly possession. His house, barns and
stock were consumed, and he barely
escaped with his family. Across the
road from Hagelfry lived d. X. Tomli-
son. prosperous farmer. and every thing
about his place except his house was
swept away. Five horses and other live
stock were among his losses.
The town of Olivet, the county seat of
Hutchinson county. eight miles north, is
reported to be more than Lalf burnt up.
The bridges on the railroad east of town
were burned. The losses for the last two
DAYS will be fully $4,000. The fire COM
pany have detailed five men to watch
for other fires during the night.

Where the "Tips'' Go,

"John, am in a hurry; see if you
can't get my baggage out of 80 in time
for the limited" said a gentleman at one
of the big hotels yesterday, at the same
time dropping half dollar in the port
er's hand. John, with measured alac-
rity, went to obey his orders.
DO you know" said a hotel man
standing by, "that your half dollar will
find its way into the Golfers of the hotel
company"
''How is that?"
Gin many hotels, and know it is the
rule in this hotel, the head porter is re-
quired to turn over to the house all the
tips he receives, and he receives his pay
in salary and commission on the tips
1t is one Of the secrets Of the business,
and is development of the close bust
ness methods of the day. Even the
tips of the servants are made to con-
tribute to the revenues Of the employer"
"But can't the porter keep the tips in
spite of the house?" -
sob, yes, in some cases, but the en-
ployer takes care to pick out an honest
man and watch him in the bargain, for
the tip business in a large hotel like
this must be worth $40 or $40 day to
the heal porter. Chicago News.
