BEAUTY MADE TO ORDER.

An Aufhoress Who Insists that Plain Girls
Can Make Themselves Pretty.
Gertrude Florence Atherton, In her sen
sAtional novel "Hermia Suydam," makes
her heroine turn herself into q beautiful
woman from very ugly one. But she
does not tell how the transformation was
accomplished. She simply has the young
woman clOseted with a fashionable physi-
elan, and beauty results from what the doc
tor tells her to do. Nevertheless Gertrude
AthertOn could have made known what the
doctor Ia supposed TO have said II she had
wanted 10, for in conversation with her
friends she is fond Of asserting that any
young woman who wants 10 be beautiful
can make herself so, no matter how slen-
der basis OF beauty she may have 10 build
upon at the outset She makes the Asser
ton 10 matter-ot-fact way, and adds, in an
equally positive manner, "of course | mean
any young lady If means"
Her Idea Is that modern sense and science
have reached methods for treating every
defective part OF the body that is not dis
eased or crippled. The new forms OF cal.

srErn,so FOR THE PRESIDENCY

STEERING FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
There can be no doubt that James a..
Blaine is helm -a-port for the presidency.
The secretaryship OF state has been the
stepping stone by which Jefferson, Mon
roe. John Quincy Adams. Van Buren and
Buchanan reached that exalted Office,
and although once disappointed, Mr.
Blaine has taken his position In the line
again. hoping to gain the haven OF his
ambition in the year OF grace 1892. II
might be we'll for him TO remember,
however, In order that second disap-
pOintment may not be too severe. that
the list OF secretaries Of state contains
more names Of men who had pronounced
presidential aspirations which were
never to be gratihed than OF men
who succeeded. The list includes Henry
Clay. Daniel Webster. Lewis Cass, Ed
ward Everett. william II. Seward. X. B.
Washburne and T. Y. Bayard.
In this connection II Is curious TO note
that the only person who reached the
presidency after having occupied cabi'
net Office except that OF secretary OF state
was Gen. Grant, who was secretary Of wal
ad interim under Andrew johnson. al
though John Bell and Lewis Cass. who
were members Of cabinet, received
party nominations for the presidency

the question. II Is plain that the only
avenue from the cabinet to the white

cents was found by the man with the
microscopic eye. This was in the case
of the dismissal of an old-time con-
ductor whose face is very familiar on
the streets of Omaha. His reports
were subjected to the closest scrutiny,
and with the above result. After a
lengthy consideration, the deficit was
classified as a matter of circum-
stance" and the conductor was allowed
to resume his run, after the horrors of
the penitentiary and living in Canada
terms.
"Restore my name to good standing,
and wipe it from the black list or I'll
blow out your brains"
This was the command that escaped
the lips of n young man as he addressed
Union Pacific official in the latters
room in the Paxton hotel not many
years ago.
Owing to the present standing of both
parties no names are mentioned.
Neither have they appeared in the pa
pers up to this time. A few years ago
IL gentleman. well-know in Omaha: at
one time holding an official position
| with the Union Pacific and now asso-
ciated officially with the Missouri Pa
| cifc, caused the discharge of youn g
man, who, at that time, was one of the
| CHIEF clerks of the former road. He
| charged the young man with being too
| intimate with his spouse, who, at that
time, was prominent in society circles
] here. The official WAS not satisfied
with ousting the young clerk from his
position, but also had his name en-
| crossed upon the black list-a book in
| which all the names upon which final
/ ind hnl nnH i-
| written.

the record to the latest employer. TIC

colt on ones services.
The young man vacated his chair and
contented himself with the hopes oi
soon finding as good, if not more de
arrangementsfor position with the
Burlington, and was requested to zeal
again in "A few days" after having giver
references as to his former field of labor
The few days" rolled by and the young
man put in an appearance only to be in
formed that the Burlington did no
make practice of furnishing employ
ment to blacklisted men. Thi
aroused the labor seekers anger
and made him desperate. Hi
was firm in his belief that, had his
name not been on the blacklist of the
Union Pacific, he would have been
given the position. He resolved to re
move the stigma and, that night, re-
paired to the apartments of the official
and upon entering, drew his revolver
| and uttered the words above quoted.
The official, say the officers, promised
to withdraw his charges, but on the
blacklist ledger of the Union Pacific
to-day stand the words: "-- -
Discharged for good cause"
The facts have never been made pub
lie, although the mere mention OF tn,
names would set gossip into a livel.
wh;rl.
The Young man may occasionally b
seen in Omaha, but has no longer her
an abiding place.
