CORNERS CARRIAGES.
Chicago Mans Monopoly of Omaha's
Livery Stables.

Omaha, Neb., June 6.-The exposition
people counted on using seventy
vehicles, but all they have engaged are
three bob-tailed tally-ho coaches. Cas-
Sidy has every other liverW rig in town.
A few weeks ago the exposition man
submit bids for the supplying of car
riages to the invited guests and speak
ers of the exposition. The bids were
put in, but the exposition mana cement,
like other great bodies, moved slowly
and the 1iverymen became anxious.
Then Mr.. Thomas Cassidy, Chicago, u.
S. A, appeared.
Mr.. Cassidy went to each livery
barn and hired every carriage on the
from Chicago and wanted to provide
for them AS. far as that goes he didn't
need to say anything, for he paid big
rates and gave cash. Finally, the ex-
position management sent word to the
HVerymen to let them know what con-
veyances could be furnished. No re-
plies were received and inquiry re-
option on every rig in town. The man
agement was frantic. 1t finally I'M
earthed a Hveryman in South Omaha
who promised to supply rigs at SIS per
vehicle. The committee tainted and
turned sadly away. They say they will
ransack the town, buy, beg, borrow, or
steal, but the chances are they will
finally step around and see Cassidy.
They say they won't, but Cassidy says
favor of Cassidy, as he seems to have
an option on every hanson cab, car
riage, babybuggy, hearse, dogcart,
and push wagon in town.

SHAKESPEARE IN SHORTHAND.

2 German Rewriting .he Playstu Eliza
hethan Tachy&rapby.
szDr. Eduard Engei has written the fol.
lowing letter to one Of the Berlin news
papers:
'In a lecture delivered some years
ago to the Berlin Society Of Stenogra'
pliers. who use Stolzes system, / Sug-
gested that those accurately acquainted
with the oldest English shorthand sys-
tens Of the sixteenth cenfI7y should
try to ascertain whether manE Of the
deficiencies of the textzof Shakespeare
might not be explained by steaograph-
ic mistakes. The~idea was suggested TO
me by the old and well-founded conjec.
ture Of Shakspearean scholars that the
oldest copies of Shakspeare's plars-the
so-called quartos-were printed from
stenographic notes, taken in the thea
ter, and that many Of the unintelligihili-
ties of the text are due to this. Ny
suggestion fell On fruitful soil. and !
have now the pleasure Of making the
excellent work of young savant. wha
has thus sprung at one leap into the
ranks of our best Shakspearean schot
ars. known to wider circles. In series
Of articles on Shakespeare and the be-
glnnings OF English stenosra ply. Herr
Kurt Dewischeit has proved beyond the
shadoV Of doubt that the quarto edl-
tions If Shakspeare's plays v ere plra'
ted editions printed from stenographic
uotes< that the stenograpbic system
~cssd was that Of Timothy Bright, who
was born IN 1850, and that innumerahle
mistakes in Ehe quartos, innumerable
contradictions between them and the
erst authorized folio editions. can be al
once and most simply explained hy the
defects Of that stenographic system snc
the indeNterity of the stenographers OF
that time. Herr DewiScheit has con
frmed my conjecture almost beyond
my own expectation. He is at present
the only person VINO possesses all the
requisite qualifications ff0:' this quite
new kind Of textinvesticatlon and 1t is
to be wished that he. with his accurate
knowledge Of the oldest English stem
csraphy. combined with solid Shah-
spearean scholarship, would subject
the texts Of the dramas to thorough
demonstration. Tbe publication Of the
text of Shakespeare IS raised by him for
the first time from arbitrary fantastic
atty to the rank. Of strict science,
with which, however, only ShakSpear-
can scholars theoretically and pracuc'
ally trained in stenographjc questions
are at liberty to busy themselves. Sci

started life as humble butchers
boy. Turning his attention to medl-
cine he soon attracted the notice OF
his sovereign, aad becoming the best
known doctor in Russia, before mid

ORIGIN of the Dahl1a.

The dahlia is Mexican flower.
which, as grown in the gardens OF
Mexico, captivated Hernandez, who
visited the country in 1915, and men
tiops two species, one with pale red
flowers, which grew wild III the noun
tains Of Quanhualuav, and was called
''acoctli. Over a century later NJ.
Thierry Menonville, who was sent to
Mexico to steal the cochineal insect
from the Spsniards, describes the
dahlia with admiration. The first
seeds were brought to Madrid IN
178S, and planted i'll the botanic gar
den of the city, where the plants flow
cred in Oct, 1882. Lord Butte obtained
some of these seeds, aud planted
them in England, where the plant
tiowered in 1890. The modern name
comes from Dahl, the Swedish bot
apist. The dahlia did not thrive IN
England till Lady Holland sent more
seeds from Madrid in 1SD4.
