| | cewe THE AUDITOR'S LATE HALT His Reokless Fignring On the Levy of 1886 and Its Result, BOSS STOUT'S MANDAMUS CASE, Legal Lights Looking For Legislative Honors—Undertakers Blect Of- ficers and Preserve the Sie lence of the Grave, TPROM THR BEE'S LAKCOLY RUREADY, The BEE's expose of the way the state auditor has drawn warrants upon the levy of 1886, has already borne fruit, s the auditor has ceased the practice, and A mandamus case in the district court is the result. It may be a question whether the auditor quitted the censurable prac- tice 1y enongh or not, for the auditor, in his open letter that fails to explain, admits that out of an estimated total of §133,418, only some §14,818 remains, and ear 1886 is just well commenced. It is also very questionable if the levy will be paid up in taxes this year, or for two or three years to come, within fourteen thousand dollars of the total amount lev- ied. Itis reckless figuring to use up the face of a leyy and only leave one-tenth of it to meet the shortage in taxes coming in, which never are all paid up, not even in years. Consequently the auditor has halted nofe too soon under the prodding that ofticial has received from the Bre. Having stopped issuing warrants on a fund that is not a fund, the audit confronted with a is t of mand at the hands of Boss Stout, whose wur- rants were refused, and the distriet court will sit upon the question to-day. It is ublime spectacle to see Boss Stout king for money from the state on a writ of mandamus. The state in the past has never been 8o eruel and unfeel- ing, and the pregnant hinges of the AL ry vaults must be astonished at this unwonted delay. A PAY LOBBY. Incidentally speaking local politics be considered as warming up with weather, and the outside lobby that seems to keep a fatherly watch care over visiting statesmen has what in older states would be called a pay lobby in force in the city, and the stranger with- in the gates does not fail to be inter- viewed, whether he is aware of it or not. But local politics all runone wuy, how- ever, and that is in the direction of the aislature. It 1s passing strange the at- tractions that a legislative e h forth, especially to the legal fraternity, and cvery ward in the ety blossoms \\iilh candidates from the ranks of this class.

As it was he was almost entirely stripped of clothing when released. ‘ A pretty good argument in favor of paving was exhibited on O street where a stroet sprinkler was stuck fast in the mud for two hours yesterday.

Ho was caught when about to take the train to leave town. In the district court yesterday a man giving the old and familiar name of John Doe was sent up to the pen for two years for burglary. John Doe positively refused to reveal his true name, but 1s is known that he was formerly a counvict in the Missouri penitentiary where he was pardoned out a few davs age by Gover- nor Crittenden. & Another case in the distriet court was settled under a pleading of petitlarceny. The prisoner stood charged with stealing a quantity of vaint, and when asked in court why he stole it he said “‘to sell it again and buy whisky.! Twenty days '"é‘“ was the sentence.

BLOOMINGTON, June 10.—[Correspond- ence of the Beg On the hine of the new short line of the B. & M. railroad, from Blue Hill to Holdridge, is the new town of Wilcox. A wonderful and surprising change has taken place at the point where this town was recently located by the Lincoln land company. Three weeke ago the lowing of cattle and the voice of the farmer was the only thing which dis- turbed nature's stillness. Wonderful transformation! To-day the site is oceu- ]m-d by sixtecn spactous and well built husiness houses, among which aro bank, three drug stores, a hardware store, one grocery, a saloon, printing oflice, hult-i’, two liver ables, four lumber yards and a boarding house. Wilcox is located in a be of country, exceeded for agricultural purposes by no section in the west. The resources of this county are absolutely inexhaustible, therefore the town must become a thrifty one. Fuller particu- lars will be given in our next. - “Never vut off to-morrow what done to-day.” cobs Oil. itiful stretch can be Cure gout with St. Ja- = NOT A TENDERFOOT. A Female Jehu Who Passed for Thirty Years as a Man. Santa Cruz Surf: of 1848 there lived n. of Sandusky, in Ohio, Frederick M. Par hurst, his wife and only daughter, Chur- lotte, the latter at that time young woman of twenty, andas far as can be learncd, prepossessing in e, About the time acquaint- ance sprang up between Miss l’:\rfi{hursl and the town postmaster, n dashing young westerner. Their acquaintance rivened quickly into affection and love upon Miss Parkhurst's i which scemed also to be reciprocated by the young postmaster. The old, ory was told in the little town one April duy when it found that Charlotte or ‘“‘Lottie” Parkhurst, as she was known, disappeared—gone no one knew whither. “The di ted father searched for the girl for months, without succes: and finally concluded that she had de troyed herself. The California mining excitement, with its attendant sensation throughout tl country, broke out in the following year, and thousands flocked to the field of gold, The railroad was unknown, stages were the only means at hand for transporting the miners to diflerent points in the gold fields, and expericnced drivers to safely convey the human freight werein de- mand. Their perilous exploits with the mustang teams and Concord coaches were the stories of the cabins the i and the bar-room,none were often tioned, or their daring feats recounted more than were those of young Charley Parkhurst. He was, in fuct, ‘‘the whip” of the hour and pride of the “profes- sion."” Lor years Parkhurst was a stage driver and o decade agomanipulated the rib- bons over a team running between this city and Watsonville. To know Charley khurst, or *‘One-Eyed Charley,” as he was called, was to respect and admire him. Tirng of stage driving, Parkhurst sought more congenial pursuits and at one time n station agent for a stage company whose coaches plied between this city and Watsonville. After an eventful eareer in California, extending o a period of more than thirty ye khuarst was, one morn- ing, found dead in bed. Investigation by the authorities summoned to the bed- side revealed the astonishing fact t ’h Parkhurst, pioneer and ccle brated jehu, was a woman, ; Subsequent investigations by parties interested in the settlement of a small es- tate left by the deceased developed the facts given in the narative The identity of Charlotte 3 Charley Parkhurst, as she was known in California, was established beyond a doubt, : Miss Parkhurst died on the night of December 29, 1879, and it is a singular fact that until to-day, after a lapse of over six years, no effort has been made either by public officers or friends of the woman to settle up the estate she left. Indeed. the exact value or description of the estate seems yet to be shrouded in mystery. Miss Parkhurst had, previous to her decease, told many of her friends of her lack of contidence m banks, and that she had intrusted to nature’s strong box, the earth, all of her savings. A'written note found among her effects directed the payment to ome of her friends of a amount of money 1 in a buckskin purse in her ecabin. s0 far as is known, is all of her es- tate administered upon, It may be added that at one time “Charley’ Parkhurst was put in po sossion of and held a disputed tract of land, now valued at %20,000, when the struggle over the property was 80 bitter that only a brave and determined man was lmhuvul{ to be equal to the task of holding it Beuton's Hair Grow & All who are BALD, all who are becoming BALD, all who do not want to be bald, a who are troubled with DANDRUFF, or LICHING of the sealp; should use Benton's Hair Grower, EignTv PER CENT of those using it have grown hair, It never falls to alu)‘na hair from falling.

Not Quite so Familiar as of Old, But More Artistio, A Revolution In Barkeepers-The Lib- eral Mental Tralning Now Re- quired. New York Sun: “An unpleasant sub- ject, yes, but a grand picture neverthe- less,” commented a gentleman leaning against the bar of a Broadway saloon and contemplating Benjamin Constant’s great painting of “The Judgment of the Shereel.” “The wealth of its color,” he went on, “‘reminds me of the work of— oh, what's his name?--the painter of *Choosing the Model.*** “Fortuny,” responded promptly and laconically the sedate barkeeper, to whom the question had been ad dressed. “Yes, Fortuny: that's it. Thank you. I can never remember names." The gentleman continued discussing with a friend the great canvas before them, and again and again the sedate barkeeper was called upon by one or the other to remember a name or state a fact that was in doubt or question. He answered promptly, without cea: mix drinks, supplying as requi names of Jerome, Bougoureau, Cabanel, and Makart, and was ey d to speak of tl most ch works of each, with a somewhat critieal an H nd of their preferences of modes of treatment “That gin-jerker seems to know a lot about pictures,” ejaculated one of the visitors, as they left the saloont. “Why nhuuh}u‘l he? It is his business, 50 long as he tends bar where a big pie: ture constantly stirs up talk on that sub- jeet. If he were m a place frequented by politicians he would be expected to know all about the contest in the Twelfth district and who Mike O'loole’s princi- pal heelers are, and what the deal was between the democratic halls and the republicans, or whatever else might be gatting up o ferment among his patrons And if he happened to be in a baseball atmosphere, he would be expected to know about the leading pitchers and cateiers, and the games past, present, and to come, alloyer the land. That his information about slug; and their deeds would have to be vast and v i he ed in a sporting hou out saying. The bar to be well inform g interest his patrons to the extent of béing subjects tor diseussions and bots, " he requirements thus stated being re- forred to the proprietor of a large and Lm]ml;u‘ uptown place of resort for the ibulously inclined, he renlied: *Yes, that is truc. It is not enough for a barkeeper to-day to be a good judge of liquors and skiilful in the compounding of fancy drinks. That, and that he should his attire, measurably nt address, and have a good memory for the faces and prefer- ences of customers, about filled the bill that anded of a first-class ecper when I was young. Then came’ the era of diamonds, gorgeous ap- parel and famliarity. Now the i the best vlaces is altogethes the quiet. If a barkeeper—that is, one that has any style or tone about him—wears a diamond atall, it must b a very small and pure stone. And he is better without any. 1t is no longer good form for him to hail recognized customers with the familiar- ity of former times, but he must hav keen personal remembrance of them all the same and reply to their salutations with the dignified grace and ease of a polished gentleman.” And his cheery shout of ‘One with me now, gentlemen!’ or ‘Take sowething with the house! 15 heard no more. 1f anything of that sort is to be done, the proprietor is considered strong enough to do it himself. The check machine, and_ the telegraphic indi- cator, and the cashier have illed the noble ardor of the barkeeper’s hospital- ity. Possibly, too, those repressive influ- ences have comething to do with the di- minished size of the diamonds, and make it easier for him to preserve the subdued air that fashion now requires of him. But it is of the utmost importance, fully as much as that he shall have a complete knowledge of mixed drinks, that he’shall be well informed and be able to gi n authoritative decision on most of the the things that men are likely to get into a jaw about in & barroom. Of course, one man cannot be expected, subjects 7 at & barkeeper's salury, to be a walking encyclopiedia,and a political history, and a biographical dictionary, and a ' turf guide, and a Hoyle, and an art evitie, and a theological sharp, things, But, 1f you will take natice, you will find that a great many of our vlaces— almost all of them, indeed—have” special lines customers, people who have com- mon interests and talk about the same class of subjects. When a new man comes to work in a place that has a dis- tinctive character of patronage, if it is something new to him, he has to go right to work and post himself. Of course the proprietor prefers a man who is already posted, but if he cannot get such a one he does the next best thing, and the man has to jump into the requisite special education. Sometimes he does it by studying books in his off time. Oc- casionally one goes toan old fellow some- where up town who advettises ‘Tuition - for adults of neglected edweation,’ and has knowledge pumped mto him alnost by steam, When this art craze sprang up and all the big places began buf’in“ costly pictures, a good many of the 'I\oys got their necessary points from a° little Frenchman who used to go about selling and raflling off panel copies, very decent ones, too, of famous French' pictures and other works of art. was well up on ictures, and @ smart barkecper in an lmur‘s talk with him could get lots of valuable points. It is not necessary that the barkeoper shall haye a profound knowledge and a mighty intellect to back it. He wants to know enough to be pretty sure of not making a fool of him- self. and to be prudent enough not to go beyond his depth. Then, if he can just look wise, and be modestly reticent, as if shy of contradicting anybody when he finds the water gotting deep for him, and speak with decision when he is sure he can touch bottom, he will get along ll right. In the course of a little time, by listening to the conversutions of really solidly informed men before the bar, he will pick up a groat deal, and by a judicious use of what he learns in that way, bringing it out only on call, and never going beyond his depth by an argu ment, he will get the reputation of fie ing a' wonderfully well'informed man who,if he only were not behind a bar and could feel himself at liberty to speak out, would astonish you.’ Suppose he is called on to decide a bet: even if he knows nothing on the subject at the worst he has one chance in two of being right, whichever way he goes. Don’t understand me as saying that ail barkeepers have superfieinl knowledge of everything. You will sometimes come across men of high special attainments and of wide genoral information tending bar. Ionceknew a German proprictor of a beer saloon down town who was one of the best chemists I ever saw. 1 would not have thought anything strange of that if he had been a brewer, but he was only a retailer, As for well-read bar- kecpers, men who ean quote pvoetry and dramas by the yard, I could name you a dozen of them—all of them ehavs, too, who can talk literature intelligently. Euch of them has mude an especial study of quotations to &nable kim to decide bets, it flnnd.- to reason that a man who drifts around from place to place, mastering one branch of knowledge after another, if he has a fair $hare of sense to start with, comes at léngth to be a generally well-informed man with the manners of a gentleman, too, not infrequently. “There is one sort of knowledge requi- sito for a good many barkeepers in New York that must be picked up by obserya tion, listening, acquaintance, and under all a taste for it;and that 1s politics. The man who has keenness to pick up what men say in theit_cups, paying no- atten tion as Iu' stand wiping the glass; talent to apply the bits of information ke gets in that way, and tact to make a proper wse of it, is bound to get ahead, and eventually strike something a good deal better than tending bar. You would probably be surprised to know how many prominent politicians have got their training as barkeepers.” 1 see another style ereeping in grad- nally, however, a sort of barkeeper that I cannot better characterize than as the automatic, A few of the toniest places have got them, and the fashion is soon to be followed. Your automatic barkeeper is not required to know anything but to wait on his patrons in the most abso- lutely perfeet manner, and to preserve the most impassive countenance possible and the largest attamable amount of si- lence in & given space of time. He will be the proper caper in a fow months more. After taat, as things go i clos, I suppose the old time jolly, hail fellow well met sort of barkeeper will have his turn again, if anybody can invent a way of having him and the con- tents of the till Loth.™ i The Original ** Pooh-Bah." ighed over tlre char- ah” in the “Mikado,” upon it as one of Gil- funciful creations, will probably be surprised to learn that the haughty noble- man had for a prototype no less a person- age than General Bragg of the confed- te army.

He was also thoroughly and have looked ubright. But was possessed of an irascible temper and was naturally dis- putatious. A man of the highest moral character and the most correct habits, yet, in the old army, he was in frequent trouble. As a subordinate he was always on the lookout to cateh his commanding oflicer un‘rm;_vim_i his prerogatives: as POst commant wils equally v to detect the slightest negle the most trivial order 1 ha old army an ancc- istic of Bragg.

As quartermaster he declined to fill the requisition, and indorsed on the back of it s reasons for so (lmxli, As company commander he responded to this, urging that his requisition called for nothing but what he was entitled to, and that 1t s the duty of the quartermaster to fill it. As quartermaster he still persisted that he was right. In this position of affairs Bragg referred the whole matter to the communding oflicer of the post. , even of The latter when he saw the nature of the matter referred, exclaimed: “My God, Mr. Bragg, you have quarrcled with every officer in the army, and now you are quarreling with yourself.” The Lucky Cleveland Number, Chicago News: Colonel Andy Welch, the internal revenue collector for the Fox river district, came in from Aurora yes- terday to teli his political chums who hang around the Grand Pacitic all about his latest streak of luck. “You see, the women folks have been holding a bazaar outin Aurora,” said he, “‘for the benefit of a free hospital, and Iast Saturday night 1 made up my mind I'd take it in.

" T SR o A Coal Bonanza, The Rowdy West, Fort Fetterman Wyoming: Some four years ago an old miner, Mr. 1ba, built a cabin on Shawnee creck, above the X H ranch, twenty-eight miles east of Fetterman, and commenced prospecting for coal. He found a vein of lignite coal on fire. Procuring help, he in time succeeded in extinguishing the fires, Satisfying him- self that the country was a great coal field, he wrote to an official of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway com- pany, informing him of the fact. The ofli wrote in 1eply that he would come out and investigate the matter for himself, and finally did come. The result was that about a year ago said company the %vsl employed 3 _ coal prospect- ors and miners in the coun- try, sent out, expensive machin and a thorough but exy e test huas been made, scently the company pur- chased altogether 1,600 acres of land, in- eluding Mr. Iba's claim and others that had been taken, andare building a branch road or switch frony the maia line just west of the Shawnee, up to their coal fields. A vein of lignite is near the sur- face, five and one-half teet thick. About twenty feet down is a vein of bituminous fect thick. Forty-two feet below the wce is an eight-fbot vein of anthracite, d to be the finest coal ever discovered in Wyoming, This” settles the fucl ques- tion and Nebraska can begin construets ing her coal lines, for before snow flies the trains will be hauling it castward. e A Spanish Princess Who Likes Horse Oars.

STRIKING RESEMBLANCES. Waiters Who Resemble Prominent People of the World, “Count Herbert Bismarck' Serves Beer—When the Comparison Becomes Odiou Philadelphia Record: “That Dutch- man 1s making his fortune out of that beer saloon, because he has a waiter that is an absolute fac-simile of young Her- bert Bismarck, the eldest son of the great German statesman, and the fact having been noised about, neatly every German in the city has dropped in to have a look at him, while the Toutons of this neighborhood have built up a reg- ular trade for the lue fellow who gots double wages on account of his resem- blance to the chancellor’s son.” The speaker was a young man who was rid- ing up Third street on the back plattorm of a car,and the remark wus called forth by seeing a portly German, of the beer- barrel order of architecture, standing in the doorway of one of the very numerous *‘Bier-halles” that line that thoroughfare in the neighborhood of Green stroot and and Fairmount avenue A visit to the saloon proved his state- ment to be correct, “Oh, yes; dot young man looked like so much Count Pismurk asif the count he vas,” replied the fat proprietor, when ked about his assistant. ‘‘Mine gus- tomers likes to have Pismark on them wait,”” he chuckled, “and Heinrich, dot's the young man’s name, Heinrich Schwa- lenhozerfiolen, e has' bring me more Zustom than a prass pand."” Heinrich is not the only waiter in the city who has teatures like those of some prominent man, but he is doubtless the only one who finds it a source of addi- i The he: wuaiter at t garden is the image or, and s often sa- luted by policemen at nigat, who think they have seen the city's “‘dandy” chicf magistrate. At the Aldine hotel there is ter who bears a striking likeness to Edwin Booth, the actor, and, as he has a Keen appreciation of the fact, he has de- veloped a semi-tragic air in serving meals, which is said to be very amusing to watch. Ina «on North Eighth street which enjoys a very large trade during the hours that the dry-goods shops are busicst there isa young man who looks a good deal like the pictures of Mantell, ana many a_dollar goes over the counter there spent by young wons who purchase a saucer of ice-cream for the sake of taking a peep at the white- aproned Adonis who brings it to them. One of the waiters at the Social Art Club once seryed in a similar capacity at that even more tocratic organization, the Philadelphia Club, and it is said that he lost his former position on account of ble likeness to one of the swell members of the club, who got tired of being joked with on the the subject, and had a row in the card-room one night with a fellow-member, who was rubbing it in. The committee dicharged the man after arranging with the steward of the Social Artto give him employ- ment and send the Philadelphia cluba man to fill his place. Another instance of curious resem- blance which is known toa good many people is that of a waiter at Belmont mansion who has scores of times be: taken for a well-known police magis- trate, and the latter threatens to ke vengeance if his double is ever brought before him for indulging in the flowing bowl or any oth offense. Somewhat imilar to the case of the waiter at the 1 Art club was that of another em- ployed for some time at the St. George hotel who looked very much like a wealthy patron of the house from Wilkesbarre. Mr. Ward meeting the entleman one day coming out of a rival ostelry, inquired in what way his house had managed to lose 80 old a~ customer, and was told, with a laugh, that the gen- tleman’s wife, who always accompanied him on his visits to the city, had refused togo to the St George any more be- cause she objected to seeing a man wait— ing on the table who startled her by his likeness to her husband, and made the people sitting about whisper to each other as soon as the resemblance struck them. The man was sent to anothe hotel up the state, in which Mr. War was interested, and his old customer has been patronizing the St. George ever since.

Pall Mall Gatette: Sweden and Den- mark are both at present besieged by pretenders to the throne. One in the Swedish provinee of East Gothland claims to be the unfortunate Prince Gustaf, elder brother of the reigning king who, in the beginning of this centiiny, while at a field manouver in Skone, suddenly fell from his horse and died, Tt is to this believed b)‘ a large portion of the ants that Prince Gustaf did not die, but was earricd off to Norway because of Lis intention to marry a girl of humble birth.

So much for the Swedish pretender. The Danish one has just turned up. There has arrived in Copenhagen from Stettin, two men, father and son, the former 60, the latter 21 years old, with a trunk loaded with papers and documents to prove that they are direct descendants of the house of Oldenberg, and to show that if at the death of Frederick VII they had possessed these documents they could have proved their exclusive right to the throne, They bear the original name of the house of Gluckburg, Beck, and went the day after their arriv the master of ceremonies to seck ence with the king.

Osmond was operat- ing in the direction of Bourg-la-Reine against the communists, and had com- manded a young heutenant to cairy at the bayonet's point a barricade which commanded the Paris road. ‘‘Takesome men with you,” he said; ‘‘do not give them any cartridges. At midnight ad- vance, try to get as near as possible to the enemy without attracting attention, and when you are discovered charge with the bayonet. Behind the barricade you will doubtless find the cross of the legion of honor.”” The licutenant, hav- ing formed his men, ascording o com.- mand, at midnight, was preparing to ad- vance when Col. Boulanger arrived in undress, cane in hand. The licutenant could not conceal his vexation. Doubt- less the colonel was going to command the small force, and the promised cross would fade from the ‘ml' jon.

On the 25th ult,, in Lisbon, Porty was celebrated a wedding that had abes it even less of Jeffersonian simplioi than distingnished the nuptials of P ident Cleveland. The high contracti partics to the Lusitanian proceedin were the hereditary Prince Carlos of royal family of Portugal and the Princess Amelia, daughter of the count of Paris, After the celebration of the wedding ceremonial in the church of St. Dominie, the newly wedded couple took ur their residence in Belen palace, the gardons of which are said to constitute it the most boautiful of all the royal places of Portu- gal. And the public jubilation was turned loose. Pyrotechnists from Lon. don, by the Commercial association of isbon, gave the most magnificent firoworks display ever scen on_ the Tagus, or anywhere else in Port. ugal. Bontires, thousands of them, made not with tar barrels, but with barrels of tar, illaminated the city. prin- cipal buildings were brilliantly illum= inated. In the grand Avenue of Liberty, which was made gay and glorious with flags, banners, streamers, ribbons, and bunting, & majestic trivinphal arch, de- gigned by the famous sconio artist Manini, was reared, and here an impos- ing military parade and review took place. Then there were bull fights under the auspices of the Turf club, free to all, but with the boxes reserved for Lisbor best soc! Holiday performances wore given in the theatre of n Carlos, a regatta took place on the Tagus, and there wore two days of horse racing in the Hippodromo o Belen by sportsmen, and one day by officers of the Portuguese army.
