A thoughtful young man Of Washington
was heard to decry the fact the other day
that while there is deluge of don'ts and
dos for the bride to follow-how to enter
the church, how to behave during the
cermony, what to wear, and so on-the
bridegroom must shift for himself.
There is absolutely nothing to guide
man but his own awkward self, and II
isn't fair" he said. to a Washington Post
man. From the time a girl is old enough
Of having things done properly at a wedding,
while the prospective groom is something
necessary to complete the picture, but a
secondary consideration, and nothing short
Of inspiration can get through a marriage
ceremony gracefully.
'In order to impress the bride and spec
tators that he is enthusiastic about 1t, he
appears with a sort of frozen grin on his
face that you expect to melt at any mo-

ting Omaha, apparently figuring that in
some way Lincoln would profit from
losses sustained by business houses in
this city. Why they should indulge in
such reflections passes comprehension
because neither Lincoln nor any other
city in the state has anything to gaiI
from congestion of business in the
metropolis, on which they are all more
or less commercially dependent. The
differences between employers and EN-
ployes here in Omaha will have to b,
adjusted as circumstances may require
and the outside towns will share in the
benefits resulting from a restoration Of
the normal status.

NEW DRESS FEATURES.
in Vogue for the Current
Season.

Hats made entirely of coarse lace
are strapped with bands and buckles
Of straw.
Swinging cords, frogs, bradenburgs,
buttons, fancy gimps and similar mill
itary effects are used on many of the
spring jackets, coats and basque bod
ices.
A gown framework of butchers
linen is almost entirely. inset with
coarse thread lace, the lace wrought
upon with cream wool and dotted with
little knots Of black wool
Of all the materials that are used
for children's frocks and coats there
is none more universally becoming
than velvet, and by velvet is meant as
well corduroy and velveteen.
White pongee gowns are to be in
great demand, for white again leads
in colors, and white pongee coats and
cloaks are also fashionable and are
certainly newer than the natural color.
The under petticoat is no longer the
clumsy garment it used to be, but is
dainty trife. 1t is fitted to the waist,
the hips and even to the knees-in fact,
there is just room to take along step
in it.
A gown of white silk has every seam
Joined with open rows Of the ever
present grape in white passementerie.
At the bottom Of the skirt the silk is
cut in square tabs over plated nous
seline and in the center of each tab
is a bunch CT the grapes.
In place Of the conventional en-
broidery and stitching on silk waists
there are TO be seen on some Of the
new ones cloth applications in curves,
crescents and eabochons Of a different
shade from the silk. Cloth flowers are
also set upon mousseline and gauze
waists

TOTAL ABSTINENCE.

1t would be a grand thing and a
consummation if the use of all in :
toxicating liquors as a beverage
could be stopped throughout the
whole country. What flood gates
of wickedness would be shut
What sources Of misery would be
done awayi What thousands OF
characters would be rescued from
degration, and made to shine with
the noble attributes with which
God has endowed theml What
millions Of money would be re-.
covered from a waste far worse
than casting them into the depths
OF the sea, and turned into chan
nels where they would instruct,
dignity and bless mankindl II
would be like exchanging burnt
and blackened wilderness for the
Garden Of Eden. This happy
state of things is coming. Some
future generation of this land will
be both astonished and ashamed
of the scenes we behold now,
There will be no allowance of the
saloon, no public banquets ending
il general debauch, no family
dinners with the decanters as
much part of the table appoint
ments as the roast, any more than
a return to the customs of our
fathers, when every house had its
sideboard, and every person en-
tering it's portals was called upon
to drink. But the time for this
ideal happiness is not yet. Pub
lie sentiment has to be formed.
A vast work of education will be
done. Learned men will make
the claims of humanity their spec
ial study. Refined people will
look out beyond their own circles,
and deeply consider the stumbling
blocks put in their neighbors' way.
Protesting Christians will think
more on this particular mode of
being their brothers. keeper.
Readers Of the Bible will feel the
full force of the divine proverb.
which speaks of the cup, that at
last bites like a serpent, and stings
like an adder.

TALKED LIKE LUNATIcs.
Hat They Were saneIy Engaged In an
Imaginary Game of
CAeas.

At a small station few miles out
of New York a middle aged woman
with basket on her arm stepped
on the train. She paused moment at
the door Of the car to take look at
the seats as if to select one, where
there would be plenty of room for her
basket Then she walked half way
down the aisle and sat I'M a seat just in
front of two respectable looking gem
tlemen with white hair and whiskers,
relates the New York Times.
For awhile all was quiet Presently
one of the men behind her said some
thing to the other in low voice. Then
the woman heard the other say:
'All right; pawn to kings fourth"
The one who had first spoken re-
Piled; Same; pawn to kings fourth. !"
Kings knight to bishops third"
answered the other, who had remark
ably deep voice.
The woman seemed to think that
something must be the matter, for she
looked around uneasily, first over one
shoulder and then over the other.
"Queen's knight to bishops third. :"
This time it was the man with the or
dinary voice who spoke.
"Bishop to bishops fourth" came
the reply in deep tones.
The woman seemed still more un-
easy; she shifted around in her seat,
seized the handle Of her basket, and
started to get up. Before moving,
however, she looked around again, and,
her curiosity apparently getting the
better of her, she resumed her seat,
evidently with alert ears.
"King's knight to bishops third"
Queens pawn to queens third"
Again it was the deep-voiced man
speaking
The woman was able to contain her
self no longer. She excitedly seized
the arm Of the conductor who was
passing along the aisle.
"They're crazy" she cried, watch
'em! They keep onmumblin' bout kings
and queens and bishops and castles,
and lots O. other things that haven't
got no sense in 'eml Hold 'eml Have
'em put off"
With this she seized her basket fran
tically and darted across the aisle to
another seat keeping the astonished
conductor between herself and the two
gentlemen. The conductor gazed at
her few moments in mute wonder,
thinking, apparently, that she was the
one who lacked mental balance. Then
he turned to find the cause Of the
woman's alarm. The two gentlemen
sat absorbed in thought, absolutely
unconscious Of any disturbance.
"King's bishop to bishops fourth"
said one.
The conductor smiled; he began to
see light now.
MADAM" he said, turning to the
trembling figure behind him, don't
be alarmed. These two gentlemen are
very fond of game called chess; they
play it every morning this way with
out the regular board. It's only
game"
This appeared to be some relief to
the woman, but she took up her basket
and sought the furthest seat in the
car from the two innocent offenders,
whom she was heard to call "two luna
tic men talking crazy about queens
and bishops"
