during his first administration
three fine fat OpOssums with the

State Porter, superintend the
cooking, as they were cooked at
Acknowledgement Garland's house
under the immediate supervision
of these three distinguished cpl
cures, and served cold with sweet
potatoes, which had been baked
with them.
President Cleveland, not without
some misgiVings, however, par
ticipated in the feast, and was so
pleased with 'pOssum meat that he
wrote Mr.. Sparks a cordial letter of
thanks for making him acquainted
with new and palatable dish. Mr.
Sparks had this letter framed and
hung up in his house, and took
great pride in exhibiting it.
Mr.. Sparks wanted the Piedras
Negras consulate and the president
doubtless gratefully remembering
the 'pOssum feast, obliged him by
making the appointment. - San

Don't Fool the Reporters.

There was a rumor around the
city that Gus II. Schneider, the
well-known grocer, of South Presa
street was married. A LIGHT re-
porter heard it and naturally en-
Quired at the store for particulars.
The rumor was then confirmed by
Mr.. Will Schneider, his brother,
and data given. The news was
published in the LIGHT and now,
Mr.. Will Schneider calls and says
that he only intended to get joke
on "Gus" and asks for the lady's
sake that the item be corrected as
no such marriage ever occurred.
For the lady's sake this is done
but the LIGHT disclaims all re-
sponsibility for such an error,
placing the blame where it belongs,
and trust shat this will be a eau
ton to Mr.. Will Schneider and
others not to "mOnkey" with report
ers or they will assuredly sink
deep in the tureen.

NOT AS BAD AS IT MIGHT BE.

some of the Inhabitants Of New Haven
are just now feeling that New Haven Is
pretty wicked city. but there is crumb Of
as Omaha. And the psople of Omaha are
oongratulating themselves on the fact that
their mayor has come to the conclusion
that Omaha is not, as 1t has bsen called.
"the wiokedest city in the country" The
mayor of Omaha thought he would try to
do something for the reputation of bis
city. He wrote to the mayors of Detroit,
St. Louis, Milwaukee, New Orleans,
Kansas City, Cleveland, and Denver ask
ing them to furnish him with statistics
bearing upon tbs number of gambling and
disorderly houses and saloons in their cities.
Kansas City, which has population of
1872, ,712, rep,i-u only that it had no gam
bling dens and that Its disorderly houaes
were raided three or four times a year.
The mayor of New deans was more frank
Its population, hs said, was 242, 900; gam
bling was universal and unrestricted; there
were 1900 saloons, and the many disorder
ly houses were confined to one part of the
city. Denver population 108.67O re-
ported that public sentiment was not suf6
cient to keep the gambling dens closed,
but they were not permitted by the police
to epread beyond one defined sec
ton. In all there wsre sixty such places
in the city. The number of ealoons was
415, but they invariably closed at mid
night. The dlsorderly houses numbered
300. Dstroit Cs00, ,0OW, according to the
returns made, has 12 gambling houses; 800
saloons, and 85 disorderly houses; ST.
Louis (45O, ,000), 1000 saloons (slwsys run
nina), 257 disorderly houses, and no open
gambling places; Cleveland (26i, ,O0O), 1. SOC
saloons, s5 disorder]y houses, and no oper
gambling places; Milwaukee (210, ,00O
1875 saloons, s4 disorderly houses con
fined to one district, and no open gambling
| places. In come of the cities named, Il
was admitted, no attempt is made to fin,
| and punish the owners of disorderly
| houses.
| The mayor Of Omaha doesn't say how
bad Omaha is, but he appears to feel Ger
tain that 1t Isn't as bad as it might be, o.
as some other cities are. But It evidentl.
needs defenders.

FASHION NOTES.
Strange Small Bopuet..

invariably below the medium size they
would excel in eccentric appearance any
thing that has yet been worn; but their
smallness prevents them from looking as
strange as they would otherwise appear.
1t is not only that the shapes themselves
are peculiar-soms being round in front
and pointed at the back, others having
the point in front, while others again are
three-cornered or equars-but the decora-
ton is so varied aud distributed about in
so curious way. Little tufts of flowers
crop up in most unlikely places; there ia q
want of preciseness in the arrangements,
a craving after novelty at any price.

A SURPRISE.

The State prison matters took surpris-
ing and encouraging turn yesterday. Sem
ator Perkins. by his resignation of his
place on the regular State prison commit
tee, upset the plan that had been made,
and the senate voted for special commit
tee. 1t is thought that the house will do
the same next week.
This is the best course that could be
taken. And the warden and the directors
of the prison should give no occasion for
any talk of interference by them with the
arrangement for the Investigation. They
will not be csnsured unless they deserve 1t,
and they will provoke criticism if they ap-
pear to be eager to have the investigation
conducted according to their own ideas.
The charges that have been made are very
serious ones, aud they should be consid-
cred without sharp msneuvering, preju-
dice or politics. The investigation should
be thorough and open, SO that it's result
need not be viewed with su-picion, as the
result of the last prieon investigation was.
