S SYMBOLS OF FATE. Professional and Unprofessional For- tune-Teller. “One—two—three." “‘What does that m ean?"" “You must hold the tea-cup aloft and twirl it three times in order to bring the tea-grounds into a fortune-telling shape.’” Oh, it 1s & case of ell-shaken Before taken,” “lsats" *‘Yes, a fortune that only covered the bottom of the tea-cup would be a very interesting one. Read me my cupof tea, Sybil of fate; Tell what it holds for me Of love or hate. ““This,” said the sybil deucrlhln;; a eir- clein the bottom of the cup, “is the course of true love and it runs smooth; this lrinnfile of black specks isa wish. This black square is a letter: this flock of birds means good new Here are money and a surprise.” “‘What is that thing in the side of the cup?’ ‘“I'hat is an anchor of tea-leaves; it is the symbol of hope.’ “‘Here is & visitor in my cup,” cries one, “Bute it: if it is hard, itis a wan. Ifit is soft, it is a lady.” The wug‘z tea-joint is fished out and Pruws to be soft, so the guest will be .a ady. The gifted member of a company who can read the tea-cups finds her hands full. No guest is so dignitied that she does not evince some curi her future. Sometimes the mildes l:(.‘l'ed one finds a gallows 1n the mystical dregs. When the leaves have no shape,but are massed in a dark pyramid, it is a ‘‘bad future.” Occasionally the distinct shape of a coffin can be traced. Then an en- trancing shudder runs thrnulfl'h the entire group. The plot thickens! The interest deepens. The tea leaves become impor- ;.mln‘ factors in the happiness of a house- hold. Experts in forecasting events find rare things in the geometric lines of tea grounds, and it has become the fashion at tea gatherings to read aloud each cup in turn, some ladies even declining to leave the table until the cup is read. It is not as sociable a social custom as palmistry. A man who des) tling of a tea cup has no ave ing his hand held by a pretty girl while the lines are read. “Butas men are not as a rule given to tea drinking, they will not grope after futurity in the tea loaves. But the tea-cup oracle is a very harm- less, inexpensive form of destiny. Its present popularity is doubtless owing to that secret craving after the superna- tural which marks the age. It gives ex- pression to almost a despairing wish to see into the coming to-morrow. And in response to this demand come the soothsayers, astrologers, seers, clair- voyants, seventh daughters of seventh daughters, and_others who predict fu- ture events. 'There are secret sessions where the flower and chivalry of the best society attend, paying a fee that ranges from $1 to $S—just from curiosity, you know. What to learn? The sccrets of the past, present, or future, There is always some lucky hit—lucky for the fortune teller. The most of people who have lived to any age have friends coming from a dis- tance. Many have relatives who die and leave them fortunes. Young people are ly in love with some one of the op- posite sex who is either dark or fair, and a jonrney 1s imminent in nearly all con- ditions. Crossing the waler may mean goingover a ferry or a runuing brook, as well as an ocean. But the mystic (}nnhty lies in the fact that the person tel Iingonll these things is an announced seer—born with a caul, like David Copperfield, and having inti- mate relations with the world of futurity and the powers of mystery. No matter how ignorant of the civiliz- ing influences of his life the inspired for- tune-teller may be, how cheaply gotten up, or with what ‘sordid ecircumstances environed, professors of all the sciences are willing to kneel at her feetto learn the secrets of the f“t' present and future, from her occult knowledge. A new mythology would be s boon 10 society in its present condition when everybody is looking for a sign. The crowing of the cock was an omen of lll to Peter. It heralds a visitor n these days as well asa change in the weather. 1f you drop thescissors, a fork or a pen, and the point sticks in the floor, some- body is coming. If your nose itches you are going to kiss a fool. If your left hand tickles you will handle a sum of money. y If the right hand, you will shake hand: with a friend. If you first see a visitor in the. looking- glass it is a sign of misfortune. Two spoons signify a wedding; tea- spoons are unders! S But these signs of necromancy are as old as the doin, of Macbeth’s witches, whose weird incantations are practiced to this dn‘y. Indeed, a Shake- speare fortune-telling book would not bea bad enterprise. It would give a higher tone to the soothsayer's art.. It might be_called ‘‘Easy Lessons 1n the Horation Philosophy,’” and serve as a text-book in supeinatural lore, with a motto by the scond witch: b By the ,flc“"zlor my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.- S Heavy Life Insurance. New York Mail and Express: It_is a curious fact—at least to a majerity of people—that very wealthy Americansare as a rule quite as anxious to insure their lives for the benefit of their families as are those citizens whose portion. of the world's goods is small. It is the most Eomtivu indicatian of the feeling of insta- ility attaching to riches, and the fear that they may at any moment take unto themselves wings and fly away. The heaviest life insurance policy known is that of John Wanamaker, the Philadel- ‘)hin merchant, amounting to $600,000. J. 3. Stetson and Hamilton Disston of the same city carry $515,000 and £500,000, re- spectively. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew’s mind is easy regarding his family’s” wel- fare in case of his death, as he hasa half- million policy stowed away. The well known Dr, Hostetter, of Pittsburg, is not altogether confidont of his patent medi- cines, for he has a $300,000 policy, Pierre Lorillard carries one for $250,000 and G, M. Pullman of palace car fame, $100,000. Nearly a dozen well known business men of this city bave secured themselves in sums quite as large. Politicians as a rule are not partial to Ife insurance, They do not wish to be obliged to die to win. Senator Farwell of lilinois, however, carries & policy for $223,000; Senator McPherson is insured for $110,000, Don Cameron for 100,000, - Senator John Sherman is also eavily insured. Editors seem to take as kindiy to life insurance asy the do to good clothes and religion. Royal M. Pulsifer, the presid- ing genius of the Boston Hanld, leads the list, cuflyin&olifi! policies to the amount of $250,000; Charles A.Dana is sured for 000; George W. Childs of the Philadelphia Ledger, for $100,000; Benjamin Wood of the New York Daily News for $85,000; William Bross of the Cuicago Trbure for $76,000; W.

He was a young man, and rather ‘‘fresh,” his friends claim, but freshnessis too inexpressive a term to describe him. He was only twenty-one years of age. He had been in the city but three months. He came here from Detroit, He obtained a position in the real estate ofllce of Thos. Brennan, He held the vo- sition until Friday last, or, to be more correet, until last Thursday night, at which time, he is known to have bidden an inamorata a long farewell. The sup- position is that, at the same time, he bade a figurative adieu to the city of the lingering friends who knew him not very long but too well. At all events the Friday morning train is supposed to have borne him away to Denver. But it did not bear away receipts of well known people to whom he was indebted for sundry favors. These favors were of a monetary nature. They were friendly loans, negotiated on the spot, and based upon the promise to pay of & young mau who was in the em- ploy of a gentleman whom the loaners respected, The first man caught was Mr. Brennan himself. He mourns the fresh- ness of the young man to the extent of 5. C.J.Smyth longs for him to the amount of $68." With this latter gentle- man Mr, Martin roomed—when he was at home. And it isreported that on such occasions his conduct was most exem- plary. And it was rewarded by #68 worth of confidence. Smyth has a silk umbrella to show for his money, but it is known that Major McMahon has an order on the landlady from Mr. Martin for the same article. Major McMahon gave Mr. Martin %22 and still misses it from his wallet. Harry Hough of George Duncan’'s is $3 n the hole, Cap O'Donohoe’s expense ac- count has een - charged with $7, with a private mark meaning Mar- tin attached. A young gentleman in an educational institution in this city, in whose company Mr. Martin slept off his swelled heads, after nights of debauch counts up $115 which have disappeare with the youngaman and his “‘chronic” headaches. Denhi§ Cunningham has abandoned his attémpts to regain $25 which he advancéd young Mr. Martin on the misrepresentation that he was a *‘cousin of Tom Brennan’s,” Pat Duffy, the grocer, has a bill of 825 against the same young man, ' which 1s not for gro- ceries either. < It would take tbo much to describe the tricks, expedients,. misrepresentations and subterfuges: resorted to by this goung gentlemawin securing these sums. Suffice it to say that 1f any ‘‘known to the gang’ were not brought into use, it may safely be said'is was not the fault of ly;mlmz Mr. Martin; His lady friends ave not yet been heard from, but it is understood that they are bathed in tears. ———— PUTITERING ABOUT PLANS. The Board of Eduocation Finding Faunlt with Architect Ellls. A special meeting of the board of edu- cation was held last night at the board rooms, at which all of the members were present, The object of the meeting was to receive a report of the committee appointed to examine the plans for the proposed new school building. Mr. Davis reported that the committee had not had a meeting for the reason that Architect Ellis, who was awarded the plans for the sixteen-room building on the high school grounds, had failed to provide the committee with a copy of his plans betore the bids were opened. He stated,however, that he had examined Mr. Ellis’ plans, and was convinced that the building could not be constructed under the laws of the city according to Mr. lis’ specifications.” The plans, he stated. for the sixteen room building provided for walls only twelve inches thick while the vity building ordinance requires that for such a building the walls on the lirst story must be at least sixteen inches. The floors too, he said, had been found too light for the purpose for which the building is to be used. Mr. Dayis moved that all ot the bids for the sixteen room bnlldlng according to Mr. Ellis’ plans be rejected. r. Clark thought that such an action would be an injustice to Mr. Ellis and that action should be postponed until Mr. Ellis could be given an opportunity to state his side of the case. Mr. Coburn stated that the building - spector had informed him that while the building, if constructed accord- ing to Mr, Ellis’ plans, would be safe, it would be better if tho walls for the first nori were seventcen inches or more thick. s Mr. Conoyer said that Mr. Ellis, when he submitted his plans, had said that the outside walls would be twenty-inch walls. If he bad shut out other “archi- tects by cutting down his walls to come within the #385,000 limit Mr. Conoyer thought Mr. Davis’ motion should prevail and that all of the architects should be given another chance at the building. Mr. Coburn was opposed to the erec- tion of a sixteen-room building on the high schoof grounds. A larger building 18 needed. He hoped the present plans would be rejected and plans adopted for at least a twenty-four-room building. After considerable discussion the mat- terswas referred top special committee, consisting_of Messrs. Davis, Livesey, Conoyer, Clark and Coburn, with power act. The report of thefcommittee on school sites, recommending the purchase of tax lot 83 for $34,000, for the Izard street school, was adopted,” and the secretary instructed to adverfise for bids for the present lzard street;sghool property. e s stk DOOTORS IN DEBATE. Second Days' Sessjon of the Western Homeapaths. At 9:80 yesterdav/morning the western academy of h, meogm:, ists met for the second days’ Session -at the Y. M. C. A, ball with a much larger attendance than on the preceding day. The principal busines of the morning session was the reading of a very exhaustive and inter- esting paper on vaccination by Dr. Craw- ford, of Cincinnati. The paper and its general discussion occupied the greater portion of the morning meeting, About 8 o'clock in the afternoon the academy met again. _On the president’s desk were beautiful aull fragrant boquets, pi by several of the firms who have exkibits in 4he building. A paper was read by Ur. Hart, of Denver, on oxytropsis lamberti, & new remedy; the use of hydrogen peroxide in inflammation of the osccer- vix, by Dr. Cowperthwaite, of Iowa City. ~ The papers were discussed By Dr. ‘Tudvam, of Chicago, and . Parsons, of St. Louis. Dr. Parsons also read a paper on the surgery of the h{petruplfled prostate. Dr. Pratt, of Chichago, addressed the body on orifi- cial surgery. Discussion followed by Dr. Stringer, Dr. MeAfee and Dr. Par- sons, The discussion was heated. Dr. Pratt and Dr. Parsons grew quite warm at one point and for a moment threat- encd a storm more serious than that in progress outside. But the cloud pa: with the clearing skies and the physi- cians shook hands at the close of the dis- cussion, The point of ditference was in stretching a rectal sphincter, *‘Did you streteh the rectus asked Dr. Pratt, in response to Dr. Parsons, as he shook a leadpencil at the dissenting physician, “And cut the pocket out!” [A nod of assent.) ‘‘And closed 1t properly?” | An- other nod.] ‘And found no beneflcial re- sults?” shake of the head.] ‘‘Then, sir,” said Dr. Pratt as his eye flashed and his cholor rose, ‘‘then, sir, you are —— the only man in the world who can relate such an experience,” said Dr. Pratt, closing his_sentence in a tor.e firunl modulated. Papers followed by rs. Campbell, Allen and Forest, on ophthalmology and otology. Then pa- pers were listened to with great interest —that of Dr. Allen dealing with the pro- per lighting of school-houses in order to obviate the increasing tendency to near- sightedness in children. Discussion fol- lowed, Dr, Crawford asserting that the school system was simply abominable, and to it was due the progressiveness of near-sightedness. Dr. Chamberlath also spoke upon the paper. Dr. Parsell read & paper on gynicology a science, after which the assembly adjourned until 9:30 o’clock this morning. THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

I can scarcely men- tion my own cnmgfln_v and a large slaughtering establishment in Chicago in connection with this matter,” “I'think Swan’s cmbarrassment will hurt the cattle interests in the west very little or not at all.

Milloecker's Prett gar Student For the first time, Milloecker's charm- ing opera, *“The Boggar Student,” se- cured a representation Iast night, in the opera house, The rendition was by Am- berg's Thalia company, of New York. The libretto was in German. To this fact, possibly, may be ascribed the me- dium-sized audience which witnessed the production, Of that audience, 1t must be said, the greater number were Germans. Just why hundreds will flock to hear opera in Italian and at fancy sriccn, while but a few can be in- uced to listed to the same in the Ger- man tongue and at reasonable prices of admission, cannot be readily understood. It certainly ean not be explained by the fanciful distinction that the Italian tongue is best adapted to vocal music, because the few who are eapable of not- g the distinction would awake but a small figure among the poople who talk about the softness of the Italian notes. The fact is that music is music whether the means of producing it be English, German or Italian. Last night, the stage was held by Germa What those lovers of music missed can be appreci- ated only by those who were present. In many respects, the performance has not been excelled by any operatie perform- ance give here this year. The soloists were excellent, the chorus well-trained and powerful. Miss Ofteney as “‘Laura’ scored a vocal and dramatic success, and made many friends also by her disposi- tion to please. Mr. Rudolph Sinnhold,as the leading student, acted with s and, in all save the prison duet, where i seemed that his voice lost some of its sweeter tones, did admirable work, Mr, Metsch made a humorous governor. It 15 to be regretted that another night can not be had with this company. SILENT ACTORS. The pupils of the Nebraska Deaf and Dumb institute will give an entertain- ment this_evening for the benefit of the Gailandett memorial fund.

The work of removing the police head- quarters to the exposition annex was completed yesterday afternoon. The basement of the annex answers the pur- vose for which it is used very nicely. Under the direction of Building Inspector Whitlock the place has been painted up and partitioned so that it is convenient and as attractive as jails can well be. At the south end of tho building provision has been made for the accommodation of the patrol wagon and teams.
