Some minor novelties have been introduced into phosphorescent features since its last glowing here, but thev serve in nowise to increase the brillianoy, whic, for several reasons, has dazzied our people. Dropping Metaphor, Hoey and Hnrd{ rather than their piece, retain their hold upon the poople. In his way, Hoey is perhaps equal to the most suc- cessful comedian in his Lre. But Hardy is well-nigh unapproachable. He is but a buffoon on the stage, but his sim- ulation 18 the result of artistic conception and, what is more, artistio delineation. 1t is Hardy who creates the laughter and the fun, and every auditor misses him when he is out of sight. ‘The stars are mlprorted by a large com- any, the vocal richness of” which is not n any way remarkable, though n spe- olalty features it is somewhat to be com= mended.

CITY COUNCIL, A Citizen's Meeting Fora Police Pro- test to Be Held To-night. A special meeting of the council was held last night pursuant to the following call: “Omaha, Sept. 2, 1887, A special meeting of the city council 18 hereby called to meet Friday evening, Sentember 2, 1887, at 8 o'clock p. m., at the council chamber for the purpose of rescinding a resolution ntroduced by Mr. Hascall and adopted by the council August 81, 188 7, authorizing the appointment o eighteen special policemen (one by each councilman) during the fair. Also for the confirmation of the fifty special police- men to be appointed by the mayor.” Fifteen members answered the roll. After the reading of the call Mr. Hascall moved that the mayor be empowered to send in the names of fifty policemen for duty during the faic week and that they be paid out of the police fund. The mo- tion was a surprise to the members who were not let into the secret tactics to be adopted to offset the storm of indigna- tion which found vent in the call of a mecting to-night by the ciuzens of Omaba to insure police protection for the city during fair week. The object of the meoting was stated by Mr, Kierstead, and he thought the rescinding of the reso- lution udopted at the last meeting the first step necessary, Argument was then in order, which was absorbed by Mr. Hascall; who degenerated into abuse of mayor, the police commission and Gov- ernor Thayer. ' Ho claimed that open ef- forts were made to whip the couneil into subjection; that the counpil was a patient aud suffering body, but that their rights had been infringed upon. He clflmed that the conditions of the charter had been violated by the police commissioners and they deserved no ree- ognition at the hands of the council. He was willing to leave the whole matter to the arbitration of nn{ disinterested per- sons, to Judge Poppleton and Mr. Wool- worth and any three reputable citizens of Omaha. He claimed the action of the appointment of special policemen by the council was done in good faith; that it was the intention of each councilman to appoint his quota, one man, fully worthy of the place, and bear the cost of his ‘services. The idea of each coun- cilman's vocket securing a police fund during the week was a new one to most of the members and smiles were secn and titters heard on its announcement. Mr. Alexander disclaimed that any such intention was coupled with the council's f\{molnlmcut of special policemen, but Mr. Hascall insisted that it was and proved it by referring to the liberality of the council in contributing from their private funds to_the entertainment of the coming New York firemen. Sev- eral of the members were of the opinion that the mayor's police appointments should be accepted without qualifying the fund out of which ‘they were to be paid, but Hascall insisted on his whole motion, root-hog-or-die, and warmed up again with thunders of abuse on certain people, and the mayor in J)nrtlnulnr. After he had grown hoarse and red in his trnqlo efforts he enacted a farce by the declaration that no man in public office should be actuated bfi private spite; that he did not believe the city council was actuated; that personally he was not. Regaining rest he called for the question, it was prccil:itnmly rushed through, the ever-faithful majority chiming their ages with regularity. While Hascall held the floor a commu- nication was received from the mayor announcing the appointments he had made, They were in order accepted and are as follows: James Bowie, Peter Bruhn, Martin Beck, J. E. Burke, Robert L. Colls, Pat- rick Douglas, P. J. Dougherty, James Doyle, C. H. Fitch, James 8. Given, C_ 8. Kotehkigs, Johu Hammen, P. H. Horan, Hiram Harris, Jerry Hennessey, J, C. Hubbard, P. A, He{lman, R. T. Hevellyn, D. D. Jones, F. A, Johnson, A, C, Jack- son, H. Kibbey, C.V.Kendrick, R. A, Lyon, John D. Murphy, John J. Meehan, Anthony McAndrew, M. MecDermott, Bruno Muller, Patrick McAndrew, Wille insm McCowen, Frank Norten, John Mor- ley, Perry Thomas, Frank l’-ercy. John Ryan, Frank Robbins, H. W. Roach, Louis Shropshire, Henry Sollinger, P, R. Sullivan, Chris, Shiimme, M. Stegmen, Joseph White, James Loaming, i Ww. Waits, Gus Burke, John J. Robins, —— Westerdail, F, Bonner. Hascall again got the floor and moved that the mayor be requested to solicit sub- scriptions to su 1\!{ any defioiency in the PQI\CG fund. Mr. Lee thought the words ‘solicit subscriptions’ not difinified enough and smacking too much of beg- gary. He movyed to amend by inserting the words “to take the necessary steps,’’ and the motion was carried as amended. _An invitation read re<"ucslln1 the coun- cil's attendance in the firemen's cclebra- tion September 8 and 9 was accepted. Hascall onge more getting his wind and the floor, called attention to the call of the citizens' mecting to-night. Hesaid the names signed were the tail-end of the (Brg) subscribers and characterized the board of trade as a useless factor in the city's interests, receiving from the coun- cil a 10,000 lot worth $50,000 and ending their labors with the erection of a build- ing and issuing stock. He claimed the call an outrage to the council, and styled the proceedings to be enacted as star chamber doings. He moved that a meet- ing of the people be called for to-night and held in the city hall, Patrick Ford thought the ideaa good one. He did not believe 1n bankers, law- yers and boards of trades calling meet- ings. Pat Ford was the poor man’s friend, und he never wanted to rermaent the rich. He was in favor of calling a monster meeting in Jefterson park where the people could meet and teil these high toned gentlemen who they were, Mr. Hascall, feeling his throat and finding it sore from the night's exertion, declined an open air meoting, and 1t was no longer thought of. Mr. Kiersteadt was not opposed to a s0-called people’s meeting; be would at- tend 1t, but he submittea that it should be held on Monday night to let those de- siring to attend the meeting to-night do s0. He wished to attend the meeting at the rooms of the board of trade and the rermlu’s meeting too. He desired all in- erchange of oyinion possible looking towards the public good. ‘“‘Man alive! will ye demane yoursel' by attindin’ the matin’ to-noight: shure ye weren't invoited at all,’ exclaimed Mr. Ford in amazement. Mr. Kierstead re- plied that all Zens were nvited and requested Mr. Ford to read the paper for enlightenment. “Arrah the paper!” exclaimed the dele- gate from the third, as though he re- garded paper but a commodity in which to wrap merchandise, _ Mr. Alexander said he wished to at- tend the meeting to-night and the one contemplated also, therefore he desired the postponement of the latter. Mr. Lee said he was the poor man's friend, and no one venturing to dispute the assertion he grew pathetically remin- iscent of old times when Boyd was mayor and honest Tom was marshal, a golden age. The speaker’s eys grew watery and without wnrnin% he uttered as a "bible truth his belief that the police of Omaha were suflicient in number for the ample protection of the entire city. Mr. Alexander opened l\{n Lee's eyes and intelligence with statistical figures proving that New York city with a debt of $130,000,000 had one policeman for every 700; Philadelphia one for every 800; Louisville, one for every 800, and four- teen other cities one ta every 700. Mr. Lee fought shy of the™ figures and said as far east as Germany you might find two police for one man, but the peo- rle of Omaha didn’t need policemen, hey were able to take care of them- selves. Mr. Kitchen endeavored to cut the Gordian knot by an adjournment, but the question was ‘called and the motion }mvm.l, the old majority coming to the ront, and a people's ineeting was de- clared called for to-night in the city hall, ‘The meeting then adjourned. Public Works. The attitude of the board of public works towards the gas company, com- pelling it to fill its lateral trenches with river sand, brought Mr. Murphy to the office of the board yesterday to pro- test against the compulsion. He claimed that to comply with the chairman's order would entail a great deal of ex- pense upon the company, expense to which it had not previously been sub- jeeted. The whole subjectof trenches, filing, flushing, Ku«ldlinz and tamping was discussed, Mr. Murphy retiring under the impression that the chairman of the board was inexorable in his de- mand for the sand-filling of laterals while he did not insist upon sand in the main trenches, The chairman of the board of public works gives notice that no permits for excavations or connections will be issued to any property owner or lessee on any portion of Nineteenth from St. Mary's avenue to Leavenworth, or on Seven- teenth and Eighteenth streets between Farnam and Harney, nor 1in the alleys in blocks 107 and 140" until the paving of the same has been accepted by the city.

Arstein’s atore, No. 412 South Tenth street, on Thursday evening., At the time of his arrost'he was in Hansen's saloon, next door fo Arstein's store, and was wearing the puripined garment. At the same time he wag carrying & hand- some light drab overcoat tha also evidently been stolen; as he attempted to conceal it at the itime of arrest. Just after the arrest a stoutly built, tall young fellow who had been seen in company with Rooney the day before, came into Arstein's store and bought a valise, pants and other goods, While Moses Klein, the clerk, was waiting on another customer the tall young fellow ntwm{;l«d {0 slip some shirts into his satchel, but was observed by Sam Livingstone, who immediately informed the clerk and snggested calling the police. Thercupon the tall young fellow rushed at Livingstone, gave him a sweeping right hander in the eye that felled him to the pavement, and then made a bee line for the bottoms, leaving, 1n his haste, his coat and the clothing for which he had just paid.

The memory of the unfortunate Geor- giana Clarke, whose sudden death in the jail during tne early part of last month was attended with so much indignation on the part ot the colored people, was re- called yesterday in Judge Helsley's court. Emery & Dingmain brought suit agninst Peter J. Williams and John Simpson, a committee on the part of the colored punrlo to investigate the cause of death of the woman, for work done 1n the in- vestigation. The defense was the pay- ment of §20 to N.J.Burnham,the attorney in thoe case, to be expended 1n the mves- tigation and applied to detective workin the matter, but which according to Burnham’s receipt was but a retainer for legal services. Tho case was taken under advisement, Notice is hereby given that the firm of Stephens, Voegele & Dinning is this day dissolved by mutual consent; said Voe- geleand Dinning willassume all liabilities and collect all the debts of the old firm of Stephens, Voegele & Dimuing, and will carry on the business of the firm at the usual place of business.

How to Distinguish the Genuine Arti- cle from Kaolin, A subscriber in Oregon sends a sort of Macedonian ery for help in the form of information about meerschaum, He doesn't say why he wants 1t, but Fred R. Kaldenberg, of New York,who is famous as an artist eaver of ivory and meer- schaum, and who probably knows more about the latter article than anybody else in the country readily divined " what started him up. “‘He has found a bed of kuolin,or china clay, and thinks he has struck a meer- schaum mine, Persons have been doing that frequently in different parts of the country, and in that way some of the fin- est and most valuable kaolin deposits have been found. It isa very good thing to have people looking out for anything of value, for even if they don't get what they are after !he{’ are lkely to catch something else. But anybody can tell very easily the difference between genu- ine meerschaum and kaolin or any other clay. Weta piece of meerschaum with your tongue, and then cut a shaving _off it with a sharp knife. ~ You will find that it curls up into a regular shaving, Now try that witha lump of clay, and you will see that all you cut off falls into dust. If you have n microscope you can apply a_still more conclusive tost. Break a bit of meerschaum, and under the microscope its fracture will show that it is composed of the most minutely atomioc cockle shells conceivuble, twisted and matted together :nkm asolid mass. Nothing else looks ike it “But I should not be at all surprised if meerschaum were to be discovered some- where in this country some day. We have pretty much ovcryunuf that is found in any other part of the world, Why, do you know, finer amber is dis- covered in this country than comes from the old world. [ don’t know where it is found, but somewhere in Mexico, I be- lieve, and it is in large, clear, flawloss pieces very often. There are specimens of amberin the Columbia college museum taken from coal formations in this coun- try, and I bave an idea that our amber is n solified and petrified petroleum. You know that nobody has ever rightly de- termined yet what amber is, althou, it is supposed to be some kind of petrified gum, Well, 1t stands to reason that if we have the amber we ought to have meer- schaum also, or nature's design to supply us with the best pipe material of home production would be a failure. But until we find it we will still have to devend upon the same source of supply that the world has had to rely upon since the days of Pliny, who knew about as much concerning this ‘foam of the sea’ as we do to-day. “To answer the questions of your Ore- gon correspondent: All the meerschanm comes from a little place called Eskjschia, in Asin Minor, where it is found at a depth of about fifty feet underground; but how it is found only the 'Turks who find 1t kzow. Those Turks are very re- ligious Mohammedans, and an article of their faith seems to be the duty of killing any Christians who come about there asking q)rnsflons eoncerning meer- chaums. They have kept up that prac- tice for 80 many centurics tnat they have finally really made ita habit. They don't cven encourage their co-religionists in mmpertinent curiosity about it. Mer- chants who deal 1n it, and live within five miles of where it is produced, have never visited the mines, They are a philosophic people, and vrefer living rather than knowing. Whon the stufi' comes out of the ground it has much for- eign matter of some sort clhinging to 1t, and mingling with parts of it. All that is carefvlly cut away, leaving only the pure white material, in the strangest, most irregular and tantastic shapes con- ceivable. ~ As it is trimmed with a sharp kuife, the workman rubs it with a thick oily leaf that gives it a handsome polish for the market. It is not sold by weight, but by quantity, its value being doter- mined by its hghtness and the size of the pieces in which it is. It sells by the box, an arbitrary measure. The hox 18 about three feot long, twelve inches wide and twenty inches high. ‘The contents of one box may bo worth only &30, and of an- other $300. The former will consist of erhaps 500 small pieces, while in the atter will be only sixty or seventy. “The consumption 1n the United States amounts to about one thousand boxes a year. Six or eight years ago it reached vrobably fifteen hundred, but the de- mand has fallen off one-third 1n conse- quencs of the dechne in pipe-smaking— or at least the abandonment of the prac- tice by so many of those who could afford to smoke meerschaum pipes. *‘There 13 no duty on meerschaum, Twice an attempt has been made to put & auty upon it, but the importers have succeeded on each occasion in demon- strating the i e and inexpediency of making it an eption to the law ex- empting erude materials from duty. The business 1n it has fallen off a great deal but there still is and always will be suf- ficient demand for it to make it very well worth any man's while to find an Ameri- can mine of it. ‘That reminds me that the article that ocnme much nearer to the real meerschaum than any other thing [ have ever seen that was not meerschaum found u{) in Vermont.

How the English Statesmnan Made a Fortune—Political See-Sawing. London Corresnondence Boston Adver- tiser: *‘We are all influenced very much leration of onr own interests,” aningful confession was m a notable speech by Mr. Chamberlain ’u.\l ten yeurs ago, and he has so faith- ully acted up to it that it is evident that he intended 1t to be the Chamberlain motto that shall complete The coming Cnamberlatn coronet. The pohtical earthquuke now in progress has thrown much queer debris up to the surface, but nothing quecrer than the radical-whig- tory-exunionist toad-in-the.coal that is labelled “Brummagem."’ Mr. Chamberlain 15 one of those radi- cal dead levellers who inherited a fortune equal to those of some dukes, It was made in the screw trade, and the story of how the smart free trader, Joseph, squashed all the small screw makers and established the big Nettlefold & Cham- berlain monopoly is one of the cutest tricks in trade. {lu shall tell us & Ltsle story. in s own words, - taken from a ‘public speech in Birmingham: “‘When was in the screw trade ghe retired o few years ago at the age of orty, his share being #2,000,000), my firm made serews by mid of an American in- vention, At that time the Americans put a duty of 100 per cent on screws, but 1n spite of that my firm sent the serews there in large quantities, The result was that the American manufacturers came over to us and said, ‘We are making 100 per cent on cnmlni; if you continue to send screws to America we. shall of course be obliged to reduce our prices. That will shut you out, but it will reduce our vrofits, which will not be a good thing for either of us. Let us therefore make a bargain. We will pay you so much a year to sit_still, and not send a screw to America.' Well, we did so,and my firm receiyed a handsome income for years from the American manufacturers. Afterward the duties were increased, i\(nd §0 my firm was shut out of the mar- ot." There are half of a dozen morals to be got out of the “'‘sitting still’’ of this apos- tle of free trade, which enriched him while throwing his beloved working class friends out of work, but I must not stop. \{?hnn he exchanged his trade in screws for that in rolltws“_hln Chamberlain went in as model boss of & young men's de- bating socicty, then he entered the town council, and soon, being rich and pushing, became mayor. At that time he wasa strong republican, the friend—and I be- lieve the chairman of Sir Charles Dilke when he was raising the devil by his lec- tures against the monarchy, whose court- plush livery he afterwards donned with the alacrity of a flunky. Chamberlain was a lhorou%h-goiu republican, bold in desiring the downfall of the throne. During his mayoralty the prince of Wales made a grand state visit to Birmingham. Chamberlain showed himself so capital a courtier that Punch honored him with a cartoon showing how neatly the prince cut the claws of the Birmingham republican lion. Passing over a few common place somersaults performed over sundry policios, we mu{ view Chamberlain, the republican, as the red spectre in Glad- stoné's cubinet. He wasnever a member of the Inner circle, and felt mighty hoity- toity as Harrington and the other” aristo- crats keot him at arm’s length. When in his ardor he delighted the socinlistic by vroclaiming that the rich (always ex- cepting his noble self) are “‘drones, who toil not, neither do they spin,"” ought to pay “‘ransom’’ for being allowed to exist, and when he seared society by reminding it how “‘the workers drive “the drones trom the hi and they perish miserably from the violent pressure of their indig- nant fellow subjects,” the time seemed right for revolution, and we began to picture Oliver Cromwell Chamberlain protector of poor England. Henry Gogyge danced on his head for joy whon he feard the pushing politician adopt his —the latest—step-ladder to notoriety by declaring that “‘every man born into the world, has a natural right to land.” When Chamberlain was reminded by the starving mob of out of work Birmingham screw-makers, who shortly afterward “interviewed” him at lus place, that per- haps they had as good a right to a snack out of other rich men's screws and hush money, he dismissed them without a scolding for their impertinence and with- out 80 much as a crust of bread and a drink of ale. Pining for new see-saws, Chamberlain next made one out ot poor Parnell. He provosed to go over on a political crusade to mhale Irish air. [He had previously kissed the blarney stone.] He told his London audience how villainous is English rule in Ireland. “It is founded on 30,000 bayonets. Irishmen cannot lift a finger in any parochial, municipal or educational work without being con- trolled by an English official, appointed without a shade or shadow of representa- tive authority.” 'I'his was noble talk in an English radical, and yet spoken with a purpose. The pushing politician had for years been aiming at standing in Gladstone's shoos, first ruunmfi the old man down, and when that failed fawning oo him, and when that did not get m into favor he went down to the mob and bullied the Gladstoneites until he was taken into the cabinet to shut him up. ‘The Intest trick was to jump on to Par- nell’s shoulders, and #o becomo the high- est Irish hiberator, As he had approved all the Gladstone-Foster treatment of the Irish party, mclndiuf the Im[\rlsm\lng of Parnell, Sexton and Dillon, the Irishmen saw through the trick. The mayor of Layerick. on the proposal to welcome Chumbetlain to the famous city, strongly objected, adding that Chamberlain's language shows the rankest hypocrisy, nd has no meaning or sincerity.” Mr. hamberlain’s sudden patronage of Par- ellism as suddenly evaporated,as within three months he denounced home rule. e A TELEGRAPHER'S MISTAKE A Little Comedy of Errors That Made a Deacon Downoast, The New York Times reports a little comedy of errors. It is follows: Deacon William Richa rdson, the presi- dent of the Atlantic Avenue railroad, is one of the most dignified old gentlemen in Brooklyn, and lis snow-wkite hair and beard mark him as a patriarch, No one would suppose him to be a young man with rapid tastes and bad habits, but, according to a story circulated about the city yesterday, he has lately given his wife cause for anxiety. A young lady rejoicing in the euphonious name of Lucy was the cause of all the trouble. From all accounts she 13 a resident of the populous but wicked London, and when the good deacon, Richardson, visited that city n few weeks ago he found this tele- gram waiting for him: Mect me at the Langham hotel. Lucy. The deacon professed to be surprised, but Mrs. Richardson was more than sur- prised —she was indignant. She de- nounced Lucy, and inspite of her fifty- nine years, threatened her with dire pun- ishment. Rumor has it that the deacon caught some of the storm, but, however that may be, ho determinced to find out who Lucy was, and went to the corridor of the Langham. For an hour he trod the tile flooring, a gloomy look settling gradaally over his face. The non-ap pearance of Lucy filled him with disap- pointment, for he wished to sce her odged in a station house. During one of his most sombre mo- ments the deacon was awakened by a blow on the shoulder and started up to find_himself face to face with General Benjamin F. T v, the counsel of the Atlantic Avenue road, and one of Br lyn’s prominent men, As General T) was supposed to be 3,000 miles away, the deacon was very glad to sce him, and his pleasure soon drove the clouds of doubt and misgiving from his brow. But a sim- ple question from the general bronght them back 1n masses. This was the ques- tion “Did you get my teleg The good des n angry was he, but he fiv “Oh, bother your teleg you think of that?

Ho was shown into the proprietor's private office, where introduced himself as a former employee of the Fort Wayne rail- road. ‘The merchant failed to remember him at first, but after a little further talk he was convinced that he had known him several years ago, when he travelled a rreat deal over the Fort W ayne road. &'lu-u the young man had him ‘where he wanted him, and ealmly asked for a loan of 10, offering to lllll up his diamond stud as security, He wain a tight place, but would be ‘abled to redeem the stud the next day. The merchant took the dinmond to tho win- dow and examined it carefully, It looked all right, and he concluded to let the young man have the $10 and retain the stud us collateral. The youth de- parted, and the merchgnt waited patiently or his return. _ But tho days passed and he came not. Neither did the $10. Yes- terday the gentleman dropped into a jeweler's store to have the diamond tested and get an estimate on its value. It was paste. The joweler said,as thoy wene friends, he would give $1.50 for it but he would lose money on it even at that price. The merchant didn't say & word. He put the bogus diamond deep down in_his vest pocket and sauntered home. was in a melancholy frame of Mnnq in the afternoon, a friend, who lives across the street, and who has been studying phomigrnphy for some time, came in to show him his first effort with the instan. tuneous process. 1t was an excollent picture, but it almost gave the merchant a fit of apoplexy, for it showed him and his pleasant friend, the bortower, stand- ing in front of the window examining the supposed diamond. The merchant secured the picture, and by showing it to his friends soon found one who knew the younpf man. The matter will be placed in the hands of the police, and the merchant says' the case will be pushed to the limit. ———— “Ethel, dear, you are looking pale and ill this morning.” ‘‘Yes, mamma; I weat in bathing yesterday and got my feet; wet.”” 0, careless girl, and spoiled your bathing suit, no doubt.
