resignation The appearance of 1898. The
sweet damsels who did not appreciate the
value of their privilege will bemoan their
dereiiction when they see what they have
lost. Il is to bring them 10 proper realiza-
ton of their misspent moments that THE
herald presents the following list OF
tempting eligibles, who have not yet felt
the touch OF captor's hand:
First we have Mayor Baskin, a recluse
from society, sealed up in his hermitage
on the hill, with backbone enough to be
the father Of q dozen hardy, fully verte-
brated boys and half dozen snappy
girls, with wills of their own. who would
have made their husbands dance the chalk
line The mayor affects to draw little
colufort out Of the Alta, but he always
wears a lonesome and deserted look, as if
he still lacked the one thing needful to
temporize and sweeten his life.
And Is It a reflection against the Ihcom-
potency of married men that the last two
mayors of this great city should have been
chosen from the ranks of ceibacy?
James L. Pollock, the stock broker, has
passed the callow state, but he IS spry as
q cricket, and Jim is one of those who are
called general men, by the girls. by
reason OF their overfondneSs OF distribut-
ing their attentions over a large and di-
versified circle. His resemblance to
t'Pompadour Jim'' naturally makes him
the target of much attention. He, how
ever, is not as dangerous as he looks and
is faStidioGsly nice in his decorum-aS
well as OF his liver, and speck OF dust
would give him a nightmare. He would
always be a tidy husband, aud would
make Life worth living to any deserving
young woman. But woman inclined to
neglect her toilet, even for the breakfast
table, had better give Jim clear berth.
George Schenck is an old campaigner
and it would take an Amazon on an old
whaler to land him. He affects a gruf
way, which has frightened of the timid
debutantes who would like to share the
<C.OJJ weir WHICH, nc lttdAcS ny tdlklLH
people to death ana then insuring them
to save their lives. Schenck is remark
able man and has travelled extensively, is
q close observer, and has a retentive
memory. His mind is a storehouse of
"reminiscences and he knows the private
and public history OF nearly every man
OF importance IN the United States.
John Rookledge is quite a sporty boy

hand, and is an all around athlete. His
main diversion is calling on the dear girls
and telling great stories TO see their hair
curl.
Bob Smith, the girls say, is as hand
some as James T. Powers-and one of
them insists he is much prettier. He has
good ''sit,'' and is the heir OF good
estate. He has travelled extensively and
can keep track with the greatest world
trotters.
Sam Park has a penchant for theatricals
and is an expert clog dancer and ven
triloquist. He is a young man who can
keep the fun going.
Bert Holden, impervious to Cupid s
shafts as a rhinocerous cannot be cap
tured in the market, and he can never be
reduced to state OF captivity except by
some intrepid huntress who will way-lay
him by digging a pit. Bert is son
of fortune and is heir 10 gold galore.
He has never yet yielded TO the malady of
love, but Is q football of destiny, or
rather his destiny is football. Should he
ever make one OF his rushes at the female
heart the possessor would go through the
goal with a bound.
Dave Burley is the gallant man of iron
who can resist all the attacks of the heart
slayer, but is susceptible ion all that, and
some petite coQuette may rattle him all to
pieces. He likes prize fighting for the
reason that he used to be handy with the
gloves himself. Dave keeps a bold front
and appears to diSdaln the carreSSeS of q
dainty hand, but any lady who dares ven
tpre near enough TO run her fingers
through his hair VIII find that Dave will
swoon and begin talking confidentially
He Is secretly cautious of strangers
George Westervelt is the Chesterfield of
lovers, and his bonhmmie and courteous
bow and polished gentility give him the
air of . Frenchman. he is fond of out
door sports and has braved the dangers
of the Colorado on raft He viii do for
a hero or q court lover. His success in
French characters in the Howells club
has given him a hold on lovers of anna
tear theatricals and all the girls say that
George is irnmense-but they complain
''He don't seem 70 care enough for us.''
William z. McMillen is a late arrival
but an old timer. s'Billy Irish, y as he
is familiarly known to his elan at Omaha,
is on trial and he is gayly free and fond
of being courted.
Sam Kearney is a dangerous man for
any girl to meet. His large lustrous ewes
and fetching moustache are simply ire
sistable. He likes to play the little game
where hearts are trumps, and be usually
takes the trick. He IS a good dresser and
& clean shaver, though his raven black
beard viii cast a gloom over his fair face
unless chopped of every morning. His
ideas Of women run to long pedigrees.
E. B. Wiks is a remarkably proper man
and would do nothing shocking. not for
the world. He is a good business man
and has already stacked up good pile OF
ducats. He trims his beard to a point
and is precise that the point is not one
SIDED. He would demand catalogue of
virtues in his fiancee and ton of sense.
He is getting on in years and should cot
daily his time away any longer. His hab
It's are regular enough to indure the mat

Frank Holland is the incest yonne man
in town and the girl that gets him will
have darling. Fank is famous for his
even temper, good sense, cordial feeling
