to get all the pointers obtainahle which
might be of use to them in organizing the
festivities in Omaha next season.
Several things were noticed which will
como in good play next year. One OF them
was that more Of an effort was made to Sc
cure a big showing in the parades which
come before the great festival and final dis
play. The various Colorado counties were
represented by elaborate and expensive floats

ture of this which was not only beautiful
but very interesting TO the eastern visitors
Cinnamon. For richness II was the equal, II
not the superior. OF anything seen during tho
week OF festivities. The military parade was
also more elaborate than in Omaha, the
federal troops from all the garrisons within
several hundred miles of the city being in
line, their services being secured by the
festival committee paying the cost Of trans
porting them to and from their regular
posts
Another feature which will in all probabil-
ity be followed here was the holding Of d
grand masked ball during the week, tC
which the public was not only admitted al
a moderate price, but was given an oppor-
tunity to dance. In" addition to this the
last night of the festival week. the grand
court ball, similar in all respects to the one
here, was held.
SO far as the great parade, which was the
elimination Of the weeks sayetics was con,
cerned, II was the opinion of not only the
Omaha visitors, but of others who saw both
that 1t was not equal TO the one held here.
There were not so many floats by three and

Mayor Easor has decided to withhold his
signature from the ordinance passed last
Monday night granting the right OF way
along q street to the Metropolitan street
Railway company, until there is another
meeting Of the council. II is the intention
to go over the ordinance again and pos
sibly few minor changes may be made.
Work on the line will be commenced as
soon as the ordinance is signed and its pro-
visions accepted by the company it being
the intention to have the line in operation
by December |. Very likely the strength OF
the Q street yiaduct will also be inquired
into.
In connection with this matter there is on
file In the office OF the city clerk report
from c, l.. II. Campbell. engineer of tar
Milwaukee Bridge and Iron company. on
May H. 1877, Mr.. Campbell made at the re-
guest OF the city officials, an examination
of the bridge, with a view to asCertaiuiug
whether 1t was strong enough to carry
motor car trafic. His report is as follows.

sufficient strength to carry such traiiic with
a degree of safety. | suggest that both the
l. and Q street viaducts be cleaned and

IL is known that the bridge was weakened
considerably since that report wal made, IL
is considered still strong enough TO meet
the demands to be made upon 1t by single
motor car. when built the bridge was guar
antced to carry 100 pounds live weight and
fifty pounds dead weight to the square foot.

manned secluded in his room. Paddy

ping won the championship of the
world, and old Lion heart" was prob
ably the only man on earth who could
wrest the title from him when he gave
up the belt.
Speaking of the inevitable encounter
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons,
Ryan said:
''Fitz is justified, to a certain extent.
In sparring off the fight; and he will
make money out of it. That is his OBJ
tect. 1t was Corbett's object in refus-
ing to acknowledge challenges from
good men after he whipped Mitchell.
What do / think will be the outcome
when Fitz and Corbett meet? Well.
Corbett has never been knocked down;
nor has he ever had a black eye. There
you are. / don't say that Corbett can't
be hit; he never has been hit with any
force. He is always going the same
way that the blow aimed at him is,
and the blow has no force when it
lands"
What do you think will be the out
come of the fight If Fitz and Jim come

There is no question about Fitz and
Jim coming together. They must come
together. When they do you will see

ever fought. 1 don't want to say how
II will come out, but you know what

The ex-champion then asked to be
excused and, depositing his silk hat on

PAUL HARRISON DEAD.
Friends Were Bringing Him to the City
to Receive Medical Attention.

Friends Were Bringing Him to the City
to Receive Medical Attention.
A man whose name is given as Paul
Harrison died in this city yesterday
while on the way to St. AIMS hospital
He was brought to the institution from
Yankee fiat, about four miles this side
of Silver Lake, by two friends. He had
been sick for some time and was being
brought to this city to receive medical
attention. He grew worse while on the
way and died as stated.
The friends who brought the man
down from the hills seemed to know but
little about him, and they returned to
camp to bring down others, who knew
more of him than they did.
Harrison is a man of nearly 20 years
of age. From a letter found in his
pocket there was a postoffice order for
$40. and letter from a man named
Peterson at Belt, written in Norwegian.
The writer offers SO per acre for 100
acres of land supposed to belong to the
deceased near Great Falls.
The old man was neatly dressed, and
wore a coat of blue, such as Grand
Army men wear. but there was no sign
that he had been a soldier.
The remains are at Ehret's undertake
ing rooms.

Brokers Make Good Deal of Money In
L Odd Manner.
The letter brokerage business is one
of New York's multitude of industries
of which the public knows little or
nothing, says the New York World.
be recognized as necessary institu-
ton. The workings of ii in brief are as
follows:
Every business house that, through
advertising or other mediums, is ex-
tensively known, receives daily a large
mall not only containing orders but
frequently asking for information.
From the tenor of the letter the char
acter of the man in general way may
be judged. A man who incloses stamps
for a patent medicine is regarded as a
likely customer for other medicines
Therefore, 1t Is of practical value to the
dispenser of patent medicines to know
the names and addresses of this class
of people, and ii is here that the letter
broker gets in his work. He contracts
with the big firms for all of their let
tiers which are not filed away for fu-
ture references. These they buy at
rates varying from rs cents to so cents
per 100 and dispose of them at a sub
stantial advance. Several big Massa-
chusetts medicine firms who have an
unusually large mail have yearly con-
tl1ClS CONcIlHB lIlS DTanC0 Oh the DuS1-
ness and derive from ii a revenue not
large, of course, but by no means in
considerable. Big dry goods stores,
which circulate annual catalogues in
the rural districts, obtain their ad-
dresses in this way. They call in the
letter broker and outline the character
of the wares which they deal in. If il is
agricultural implements the names
wanted would obviously be those of
farmers. If merchandise, then the pros
pective customers would be small
tradesmen in villages and country
towns. For a certain class of addresses
as high as 81 per 100 is paid
The busy New Yorker who has a
heavy mail each morning throws into
the waste basket any missive that
looks like an advertising circular. But
with the average farmer the reverse is
the fact. Letters are not so frequent,
and are too highly priced by the tillers
of the soil to be thrown lightly aside.
They are not only carefully read, but
laid aside for future reference. The
magnitude of the lists of some letter
brokers is appalling. A half million
names, all classed alphabetically, and
also as to their probable demands and
wants, are owned by half dozen men
in New York. Other lists, which are
growing daily, have not as yet reached
that figure. A Lowell medicine firm,
which deals with letter brokers, ships
to New York each month over 500
pounds of matter, and when one thinks
that a single shete of paper is not of
any great apparent weight the immen-
sity of the aggregate number of letters
is patent. Arriving at the brokers' Of
fee they are sorted according to their
classes, and then copied in the huge
books kept for that purpose. The let
tiers are then destroyed. The average
of addresses passing through a
brokers' hands run from 100000 yearly
up indefinitely. That the business is a
success has been demonstrated beyond
a doubt.

The ladies of the Cabinet
Are weeping briny tears,
And sounds like those of martyrs cries
Fall on the nations ears.
A shadow as of blasted hopes
Has fallen on their lives,
And they regret with might and main
That they are Cabinet wives;
Because, forsooth, the President
Has stated that he feels
It's not the proper thing for them
To fly around on wheels.
And anything ne says must be
The law in Washington;
A single word from him's the Ten
Commandments punched in one.
He knows the streets of Washington
Have power to entice
The bikesters, till they think they're on
The streets of Paradise.
And yet. despite this charm, he says
They must not ride. Alack!
Are women towards, not to hit
The tyrant in the back?
They do not raise a hand to strike!
Their courage is a clami
Ye gods! And do our women think
''Sic semper' is a sham?
II must be so. We only hear
These ladies weep and wall.
