A gentleman prominentin the state and prominent in the political cireles of the dominant party i the state, i tion with the BEE repr it the question of B Auaulents shtrlen ot government lands in western Nebraska, 100 much had not yet been said and too little was known. “Through frequent visits to fronticr points, urd visits not confined to the last one or two ye fact has been more and more noti continued the speaker, “that s have covered thousands with entr that they expect to honestly to if compliance is msy When L spenk of spe and ulent entries, 1 kave no ence to any men or women who have taken steps in that way to acquire a home, and who make 1t all the lTaw contemplates, for m such reference people have a misconcep- tion of investigations and seem to believe that an investigation of one ca: ill be the injury to all. Now, if these fraudu- Ient entries are uncovered and the record made open at the land offices, a long and continuous list of contests and individual work would be avoided, for, as at pre ent, a settler secking a home goc: Iand office and finds localities for miles marked all taken, and he is to the forest, when & personal inyestigation would show the land marked t as wholly lacking any of the requirements exacted under the law and covered with entries by parties who never expect to settle upon it, but hold it to exact as big bonus for ifs reliaquishment as can be exacted.” And this was the unsolicited opinion of a sound, conservative republican, as ex- pressed in a conversation suggested by Jim Laird’s course in attempting to cover up all investigations in congross.

The party of the fivst part in the ease, Mr, A, C. Ingram, has been for sev- hiral year merchant in this eity, well- t0-do in_business and well regmded in society; in fact, all such chaarcters have a prelude to their rascality that in nine cases out of ten can be summed up in “well regarded in society,” and this case is no excention to the general rule The associate of Ingram in his disap avance is said to be a4 woman of the town, by n irma Stewart, who, in times past, hus condueted a bagnio on O street, and whose disappearance from the city, it is stated, was at or apout the same time that Ingram left.

Why There are Not More of Them in the Ranks, Subordination of and a Knowledge of Pabli Personal Notions AL No Royal Road to Snccess, fairs a Necossity Philadelphia Record: Notwithstanding that woman penetrated field of labor which lered man's special domain, exe a very few from from lack of physical strength or canee of her sex, there are still some em not as yet One of these is reg: ular newspaper work. It is true that the number of female contributors, spondents, ete., is quite a little army; but an in no sense be considered jour and those who can honestly lay claim to be considered newspaper work ceditors—will probably fall short of 300, although it is claimed that there are 500 or more thus employed in the United ates. It is conceded by many of our best newspaper men that in these days, when the newspaper man has advanced beyond the mere political organ ! some topics are more suitably treated by women than by men. The value of their work 15 understood and appreciated, and their taste, judgment and capacity are not underrated on account of their sex They can no longer cling to the con sciousness of unfitness for the work or the unfitness of the work for them, with many brilliant examples of w men can do in this lime before them hen why are there not more of them in the rank: Mr. Willinm H. Busbey read a paper on the subject of woman’s ophortunities in journalism before the Ilinois Woman's Press association, held in Chicago last month, which, it seems to me, the quastion very clearly, and I take liberty of presenting Iis ideas in_con- densed form. The vory common belief that success in journalism is largely a tter of opportunity Mr. Busbey sets aside, but_gives as his experience that some of the best workers in the profes- sion led, not through want of pacity or talent, but because wll thei energy and enterprise failed to secure opportunity for work Woman’s opportunities in journ are Jimited because the field is already crowded, but chietly, as a rule, because women ambitious to do newspaper work agerite the mpm-mnu.-m) their own likes and dislikes, their impulses inclinations, and fail to realize th: newspaper business is a trade or a fession, with il the oxactions that go with any trade or profession. Further, woman’s opportunities are limited | two sets of circumstances. One set she might control if she would. The other which she cannot control, she exhausts energy and vitality in an attempt to manage. She muightinerease her oppor- tunites by subordinating her convietions, her sensitiveness and har enthusiasm to yrofessional duty. The person must not ho above the profession, Purchasers of hobbies and personal notions are rare, and by ng them woman slams the door in her own face. rthermore, a woman of talent, edu- cation and refinement does not like to be discipline icular the young n h ivantage. The men women’s work in apers have more hestitancy in employing a young woman than in_employing & young man. They know that they can make a young man do what he ought todo, and do it without question. With a young woman of hich spirit they have some misgivings. He sensitivencss, her pride, even the qual ties that would become most valuab under discipline, all combine to make her a more difficult subject to bandle than wopld & young man with the same pride and taste and the same spirit. Again, many young women ambitious to enter journalism have an affected or real contempt for polities and for public affairs that impairs their usefulness and limits their opportunities for the higher- grade newspaper work. A faflur aster a subject, to have an intellig: enof the way in which it must be handled, and a failure to understand the convictions of advocates and opponents, render any newspaper writer untr ; and limit his or ber opportunit nabit of substituting personal for the known convictions of a great constituency; the disposition to care more to express a personal opinion than to obey an order or to follow in- structions; the encouragement of that agotism which regards the whims, notions, prejudices or convictions of the individial writer as of more importance than the estublished reputation and opin.ons of the newspaper on which or she is employed; & supersensitiveness in the matter of the choice of work; an inclination to regulate th goment or to dispute its authority—all these things, encouraged ns a matter of habit, grow upon a person and limit the oppor: tunities of both men and women, It is a sad fact that many young women ttle yain of their ignorance of irs. Many women who aspire for the newspapers are free to say that they hate politics, and have the greatest contempt for politi ians. No woman of this type can ever hope to bo a successtul journalist so long as our great newspapers are politi- cal pupers Young women must make s study Lof political and public affairs. T'his must become a habit with them if they would be trusted. The women who have succeeded are all of this school. A young man who takes a place on a newspaper knows that he dous $0 on trial lxl.s does not éxpeet to have his own way, or to have much choice in the matter of work. He does his best, and if he does not ch the highest stand kes eriticism and instruction in the best spirit he can. He 's made to un- derstand that heis in school, and is sub- joct to rule: ions and diseiplin, At above nd beyond him, oy ving him and all other workers, is the newspuper, with its inaividuality, its personality and its reputation. How many young women are ready to do what tliis young man must do? Lack of training is another obstacle 1n the way of young women. The journal- istic instinet, the capacity to um{u nd what the public wants, the di mina- tion that guaids & man sgunst a mis take, the pride in the profession, are things that are paid for. By newspaper instinet is meant the ability to rise above oureelf and one's Lkos ang disii and to write for the public. That is the only work of any value, Personal prejudices however beautifully they may be arrayi in tlowery language, have no place in the make-up of the daily newspaper, and will tind no buyers in the market This, then ms 1o be the whole thing in a nut-shel he gifts of capacity anc a fine flow of words go for naught unless $hY be aacombaniad with o Sitorain tion of personal notions and a_forgetful- ness of one's self. The need of the hour is for an education, a training and a habit of work that will make women of as much value in newspaper work as are men. There is « tield for good work, but it must be entered in the right way and from the right direction. The general attitude of men toward women in news- vaper oflices 15 one of helpfulness. The woman who goes ubout her work 0 the proper spirit will meet with no jealousy or discourtesy.

Visitors who are shown into the presi dent's library nowadays hear unaceus tomed sounds, a snatch of song disclosed by an open door, or an echo of taughter, or a few notes of a piano gayly played When the president hears these sounds he often looks surprised, and many a time leaves a pile of official papers on his desk, looks into the adjoming room to see what the girls, as he calls them, are up to, and then returns to his work a happier and more contented man.

Now the brenkfast hour is o’clock, and only once or twice since his marriage has Mr, Cleveland attended to any official duties before going down stairs. He usually passes into um‘\ibmry on his way to the dining room to take what telegrams or letters are lying upon his desk, and runs through them while waiting for breakfast to be served. He f'cls into the oflicial harness about an hour later than he used to do, and it is senerally 10 o’clock nowadays before he begins work, when 9 o'clock was the hour formerly. He pulls steadily along until half past 1, when, on every alternato day he receives the publie, and then goes to luncheon, and afterwards chats with the ladies for a fow minutes as he smokes a cigar.

The Wife of the Late Hobart Pasha, The news of the de was the “‘Finis'to asromantic ever formed the subject of not the least romantic chapter of it was the Pasl second marriage in 1874 It sounds like the plot of an English novel, and the heroine of the third volume stili lives to_mourn the loss of the hero. Hobart Pasha was the tourth son of late Earl of Buckingh nd g tinguished naval offic tered the Sultan’s scrvice and rose to Mahowmetan honors and dignities that no christian had ever before obtained. Dur- ing the early part of his carcer, while he was still -in the English service brother officer of his was so severely wounded t the sergeant announced to him the mortal nature of his injuries. The dyging man sent for him and confided to him a secret. He had mar- ried a girl of rather humble purentage, and because of his family's opposition the marriage had been kept concealed and the girl rested under a stigma, A child had been born to them just before he left England, and now that he was about to die he was anxious t 1t and its mother should be ‘righted in the cyes of the world, Complications as to its proof had arisen by the death of witnesses, but he trusted to his friend Hobart to repair his fault. “If you will pledge your houor for the truth of the marriage,’ he said, ‘*the world will believe you, and you will believe mo when I swear to you it is so.”" When Hobart, now become a Tuskish of- ficer, returned to England he undertook to comply with the request of his dead friend, but the young mother, under the weight of her grief and the equivocal po- sition she oceupied, had followed he husband, and the dead man’s relative when he'at last discovered the child, re- fused to acknowledge it. Nothing was left to him but to take care of the little orphan himsclf, so he ac: cepted the ch with ‘what gr he could muster, and when he left England, as ne 'did soon " placed her at a famous school for girls in the Isle of Wight, where so many English women of rank ha otten their training and education. ‘Then he went buck to his duties and thought no more about her except to send an occasional letter full of good advice, with boxes of Turkish sweet- meats and trinkets.
