YheInteresting Programme Presented by the Irish League at Sun day's Mecting—Election Re- turns—State House Notes. [PROM THE BRE'S LINCOLY BUREAU.] A very important suitis about to be brought against the B3, & M. road growing out of its consolidation with the Atehison & Nebraska road several years ago, The parties plaintift in the case base their action on the statute, which prohibits the consolidation of compot ing lines of railroad in the state. A lengthy letter covering all the legal yoints in the case has been furnished Attor- ney General Leese, and it is understood that a demand wil be made that that official in- stitute quo warranto proccedings, The author of the letter to the attorney general takes the position that this road by entering a combination to stifle competition, against the express words of the constitution has broken faith with the state to such an extent as to ler it liable to a forfeiture of its corporate franchise. A glance at the history of the Atchison & Nebraska road will add light to the fact that it wasa competing line and was consolidated with the B. & M. railroad to destroy com- petition. The Atchison & Nebraska was built from Atchison to Lincoln in 1872 and from that time until 1830 was a parallel and competing line with the B. & M. railroad on local business in the state south of Lin- coln und 11 Lincoln on through and local 1 ht east. In the state before the consoli- dation took place, there was u brisk comy tion existing between the roads for the trade of the country extending as far north as Col- umbus, to which the Atchison & Neobraska had been built. In the year 1580 the Bur- lington roud b o ‘owner and assumed control of this road 'he stock of the Atcli- son & Nebraska at this time was $3,500,000. Of this stock the B. & M., through William Endicott jr. and W. J. Ladd as_trustees, ac quired & nly #3,000 of stock o be held by private individuals for the pur- pose of keeping up a nominal organization }m' the Atchison & Nebraska. Of these thirty remaining sharcs five Ald by 16 E. Pratt, five by A. G. Stunwood, five by Goorge W. Holdrege and five by Henry Park ham. Four per cent bonds of the B. & M., payable in 1910, were issued to the amount 000 to furnish the moncy for this illegal absorption of the & Nebraska stock. ©® Atchison At present the 1. & M. railroad exercise 2 control over the operating and i partment of the road making rates, contracts and assuming all the rights of ownership. All competition ex- isting between the roads prior to their merg- ing has been destroyed. The present consti- tution of Nebraska, adopted five years before this consolidation took place, réads as fol lows on the subject of the consolidation of competing lines: *“No railroad corporation or telegraph company shall - consolidate its stock, propes chise or carnings in wholé or in part with any other railroad cor- poration or tclegraph company owning u pur- aliel or competing line.” The letter culls at- tention to the fact that courts do not allow corporations to do_indir what the law v doing divectly, and that this was ation in fuct if not in name; is the effect and ot the form upon which courts enter judgment- A citation in the presentation of tho ques- tion is from an Ohio decision in the case of a consolidation, which was modest as compared ith the one in question, was killed by quo ranto, upon a statutory law while the same statute law exists in Nebraska and a Jike prohibitiou is contained in the constitu- tiou itself. 1t is learned indivectly in connection with working up the facts in this case that the railroud, s if fearing something of this character hus withdrawn from its oftices in this state as much as ible of the record of this conspiring transaction. and to get at the facts has been the work of weeks. There is not a town on the line of the old Atchison & Nebrasl I from Columbus to the souther > that_has not beén robbed and filched from by this consolidation by which the B. & M. road destroyed competi- tion. Muny of the countics voted bonds to get the competition and from such places there should come appeals at onco to the at- sy gencral to prosecute the case, to v the illegal and unlawful consolidation and have the old Atchison & Nebraska road pluced by the courts in the hands of a com- mission to sell the road, pay its bonds, de- clare its franchise in the B, & M. forfeited and let it commence business in Nebraska nguin a8 a competing line from Columbus or the north across the state to the south, thus saving $1,000,000 to the district traversed. Attorney General Leese has proved himself o mun not to be bought or bulldozed by the ons and when ho prosecutes he does it fearlessly and honestly. s X Nationa McClave occupied the chair. Tho proceedings opened with a liantly rendered piano duct. by Mrs. A, 1. t and Master Pratt—“Waves of the Ocea This was followed by “‘Flec as u Bird,” beautifully sung by Mrs. Pratt, Miss Parkis then sang “The Palmor” with ex- quisite taste, after which the chairman intro- duced Hon,' Patrick Egan as the speaker of the day. Mr. Egun briefly sketched the various political wovements in lreland from the date of Catholic emancipation to the presont time, showing the difficulties en- d und the onward march of the long ary struggle of nearly a hundred years for the restoration of the Irish parliaiment. Ho closod with au elogant pororation. omphia: ®izing his more thun hopo that before the fulling of the leaves in 1538 the “Old House'! in College Green would be getting ready for the reception of Ireland’s native legislature, Mr. James Farroll moved a vote of thunks, which, it is necdless to say, was carried with hearty applause. The next piece on the pro- gramme was “Erin's Flag," recited with splendid spirit by Miss Wright. Miss South- wark then played *‘Nearer My God to Thee," which she rendered in a most charming manuer. Miss Flanigan followed with **Come Back to Erin,” and us usual gave groat pleas- ure to all present. Mr. John P. Sutton then moved that of the funds in the treasurer's hands, be sent at once to Rev. Dr. O'Reilly, as funds were greatly needed in Trelund.

New York Letter: The old liome- stead of Alexander Hamilton, known as “The Grange,” and originally compris- ing soma thirty-two acres of land,in the upper partof the eity, has lately been laid out into streets and avenues by one W. I. De Forest, who bought the prop- in1 for $300,000. Mr. De Forest recently had this land laid out in build- ing sités, and a large part of it was of- fered at auction a few days ago. These lots, which a about” 25x100 feet, brought varied prices, running any- where from $9,000 to $24.000 each,which means a handsome profit on the invest- ment. But people who tell tales of large fortunes made in real estate must ro- member that it takes large fortunes to mako them. I isn't everybody who £300,000 to invest in land, and as much more to make the improvements. There is no doubta great deal of money made in real estate in and around Ne fork, but it is not all made in a minute, and the man who makes it has got to under- stand the situation pretty thoroughly. An entire outsider cannot go into itand be successful. It must be a man who knows the city and the diiection of its growth, and who knows where the most lo property is situated. It is v to follow the line of the real es- tate boom in New York than in almost any other city, for it can go but in one i sing n ferry. 1t rot to go northward, and I will ven- ture to say that people who have bought property above Harlem at a fair price will make a good deal of money by scll- ing it In the next five years. Dr. Picrce’s “Favorite Prescription” is not extolled as a ‘‘curc-all,” but ad- mirably fulfills a singleness of purpose, being a most potent specific in those chronic weaknesses peculiar to women. R How Nina First Met August. Philadelphia Special: A girl friend of Nina Van Zandt living in this city tells a reporter that after Miss Van Zandt’s fathc failure in business the family moved to Chicago. All that re- mained of their former afuence were five pug dogs, the property of Nina, and as she stubbornly refused to give them up the appraisers of her father’s assets had omitted them from the schedule of his cffects. The girl was wonderfully attached to the pets, and as time elapsed and she felt more and more the pinch of poverty her affection for the dogs in- creased. One day the favorite of the lot was lost. Diligent s h, offers of reward and advertising were all ineffec- tual in restoring the animal to its be- wed owner, Miss Van Zandt wrote a letter to the Arbeiter Zeitung recount- ing her sorrow and bewailing the loss of ler greatest pet. August Spies, who was the editor of the paper, published the letter and wrote an amusing editor- ial, in which he made a good deal of fun of the young girl’s love for the pug dog The editorial gave the incidentso much notoricty that it led to the discovery and_restoration of the dog. Miss Van Zandt was so grateful that she went in person to thank the editor, and that was the first meeting between the doomed hist and the woman who has be- come his “widow.” — ial, Asthmatic and Pul- monary Complaints, “Brown’s Bron- chial Troches’ have remarkablo curative propertics.

He knew his cousin was going to marry the president of the United States, though the fact had not gener: broud then, but mitted it to his bosom friends. 'That is the way the secret venlly leaked out in the first place. Cousin Ben had to make some purchases at the Louvre, and after he had spent nearly two hours haggling with the shopkeeper in pigeon French, the latter asked him where to send the good “You may send them,” said Cousin Ben, impressively, ‘‘you may send them to Mr. Ben Folsom, White House, America.” The Frenchman, who bhad no more idea what this meant than a Choctaw has of philology, wrote it down in his address book with a polite smile and bowed Mr. Folsom out. Cousin Ben strutted away with the air ofa mon- arch. The salesman puzzled over the address for about two hours, and then came over to my hotel and asked me about it. It struck me as about as ami- able a little trick as T had ever known of. Ben is modest, but he gets there For Bron Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.

CONKLING 0N PALMISTRY. The Important Figure the Hand Cuts in the Social World. THE AMERICAN IN LONDON. Sentiment at an Auction—Elizabeth Tilton—A Funny Climax— Clara Belle's Let- ter. NEW York,Nov.11.—[Correspondence of the BEE.]—oscoe Conkling sat next to me in & theater the other eveuing. A hand was laidon his shoulder from behind. Tt belonged to a certain highly fashionable matron of his acquaintance, but it was a large member, notwith- standing that it had neverdone any labor. ‘‘Yes, sir,” said Conkling, mis- taking it for the hand of a man. Then his eyes fell on the feminine sleeve at- tached to it, and he confusedly mur- mured: “I beg your pardon.” 0, no offense, I assure you,” the lady good-humoredly responded. Mre. Conkling then said: “This r minds me of an actual case in which amistake in the gender of a hand brought about a divorce suit. A wife had a large hand and it happened one evening that she sat with her husband and several others on a rural veranda. The husband was smoking a cigarctte, andyas it was very dark indeed, the wife took it from him for a surreptitious whiff. Now right alongside the couple sat a flirtatious girl. She and the men were on sentimental terms, but until now quite unknown to the woman. Tho well developed hand of the wife with the cigarette chanced to swing into contact with that of the girl, who tool hold of it, thought from its size that it was the husband's, felt convinced of it by the cig », and thereupon PR 0 TER LIPS rapturously ing that she was a safe opportunity of the rkness. The eyes of the wifo wcre opened, metaphorically if not physically; she watched the pair fora few days, and an action for divorce was soon insti- tuted.” Palmistry was represented close by in that audience by Heron Allen, the Lon- don chap who got twenty-five dollars each examination of a hund and dileui tion of the owner’s character as long as his London reputation lasted with our imitation avistocrats, but who soon dropped his price to ten, and then five dollars, without saving his fud from dying out. He is just tho sweet little dandy of the English pattern that the mind can conceive—hanasome, soulful and stylish. He here with Salina Dolaro, twice his age, professedly almost dead of consumption, but still present object of admiration Just romantic history. No actre had a move remarkable London for she figured in titled soc as in stage adventures. inally brought to Amervica as a prima donna for grand opera and she encoun- tered more bad than good luek until a benefit performance was last winter given for her and she went to Florida to die. She returned alive, however, and jocularly remarked that she hoped no- body would demand a return of money because she hadn’t died according to promise, Her triumphant peculiarity 1s that she retains her power of faciy tion, judging by the fact that she is usually seen at the theater and opera with some gay young beau or other half her age. As to beaux, A LADY MEMBER of William K. Vanderbilt's distin- guished traveling party, which yachted its way across the Atlantio, spent sum- mer in Scotland and is now woing to oc- cupy for awhile the late king of Bavu- ria's castle, Lindenhof, has written to a friend: “There is not much use in coming over to London with any id of cutting a dash as an Ameri Buffalo Bill has been the Amer jcan representative lio i to bo displaced by Prizefighter Sullivan, and with those two wmen posed as Americans, nobody can success- fully follow them unless he can knock out ten buffaloes at once.” She joked, but she told the truth. London socicty will accept daintily lovely American girls, but the cockney idew of Yankee manhood is ungentle. The fashionable ladies have lost an inch from their dresses. There is no mistake about it. It was whispered all over town that it looked that way, on the morning after the first night of Grand opera on Wddnesday. By Fvi- day night there was no longer a tiny bit of doubt about it. The last inch first showed its ab- sence in about half the boxes, scattered here and there on the two private tiers of the great golden opera house. The daughter of a famous lllght of the bar, the young wife of an ancient Knicker- bocker business house and the fasci- nating widow of the head of a family of land barons on Manhattan island had all lost somothing more than an inch of their low cut gowns on the first night, and as they lead the fashion we might all have known what was coming, yct here and there were seen other ladies of the field of the cloth of gold whose necks were no more uncovercd than last year, However, every one of these was a matron with her young daughters around her like chickens keeping close to the maternal bird. It would never have done for such a radical movement to be led by the mothers, and cven ¢ I see that some of these parental whion have got the upper s of their opera dresses just where they always had them—a hand’s breadth from where the chin will touch the neck, There was a great commotion on last Thurs and Friday. Even the haughtiest modistes, who like to go out of an evening themselves and who never break business rules except for those whose husbands settle the bills without a murmur, even these swell dressmakers had to sit up late and begin early to cut an inch off all the dresses that pourcd in upon them after the opening of the opera. And when Friday night came it was not the rolling up of the stage cur- tain on “‘Sieggfried” that elicited as much attention as the rolling down of three score COVERINGS OF SILK and satin on as many displays of una- dorned loveliness in the boxes. I can not better express what the effect the grand result was in any better way than to say that a great many ladies for the first time in their lives were dressed in amanner fit for prescntation to the queen. I could put it a trifle more for- cibly by saying that if twenty years ago any man or woman h ared to tell nineteen out of twenty of these Jadies that they would one day sit in a public theatre in an undress not yet equaled on the stage they would have indignantly und tearfully denied the possibility of sucha thing. If they would only believe as well as commou folksl That is what always pops into my mind when at the opera; and always mars the scene for me. For the truth is that according to ordinary human rules, these gruufiem (particu- larly the low-neck, pink and white ones) are very coarss and rude, They chatter and laugh next door to out loud during the performances, they motion to one another across the house, they entertain the gentlemen at their boxes in such a way 08 to attract all the lorgnettes in the house—and sometimes thoy are mar= ried and the gentlemen they entertain s0 particularly are not ouly not thelr husbands but are men of widely known dubiousness of character. They giggle and devour bonbonsand read 'otters and stare folks out of countenance with their opera glasses and, altogether, they act as if thoy were a law unto themselves. Ican't forthe life of me, see whya woman cannot be a lady even if her hus- band is worth a million. There was & bit of sentiment in an auction sale this week. Although it was a disposal of the effects of Hent Ward Beecher, little interest was ex- cited outside of his personal friends who attended for the 1nu~\»o‘.~ of buying souvenirs of their beloved pastor. Books and brie-a-brac went, one after another, at about their original cost until a tiny, paper-bound copy of Mrs. Browning’s poems was offered. The auctioneer regarding it carelessly, but one person had discovered written on a fly leaf: “Theodore ton to Henry vard Beecher,” and he bid it up slowly to 81, 82, 83, finally losing it to somebody who gave $5. “Glad Ididn't get it,” he remarked, “it iHH'L worth any such ridiculous price. ‘Who had paid $5 for a thing intrinsic- ally worth no more than five cents? Eliza- beth Tilton—the ostensible purchaser was an_intimate friend presumabl Mrs. Tilton desired it ns a joint memen- to of the two remarkable men who once made such an awful commotion over her. What particular memory was to her associated with this gift of her hus- band to her pastor I do not know, but I do know that the littlo volume is now ata bindory being covered handsomely in_morocco. It used to be predicted that Theodore Tilton would take his wife back, but he has never done so and is living in Puaris where he earns a modestliving with his pen. Nor did the Plymouth church wople ever forgive her. So far as known neither Tilton nor Beecher com- muulit.'x\tcd with her after the scaundal trial. The weddingof the week hasbeen that of Murs. rk Hopkins, possessor of fif- teen millions. She inherited her t wealth from one ot the Culifornia build- ers of the Central Pacific railroad, as everybody knows. She lately decided to make her residence in Great Bar- rington, Massachusetts, and began to build & gorgeous house there. A. I, Scurle was a neighboring gentleman of oxquisite taste in architecture. She got into the habit of consulting with him over the plans. In that way they fell in love, and now he is going to live with her in the 85,000,000 residence of his own modeling. ' Mrs. Hopkins is an amiable and witty lady. Speaking about the contemplated marriage she said: “I once knew of aman in & rancisco who wanted to a woman but, folt of the venture. She had been divorced from one hushand, had buried two, and the new suitor was cautiow: ‘Well,’ she said to him, ‘T can get a certificate of zood temper from my last husband, if that will satisfy you.”" Nobody who knows Mrs. Hopkins-Searle will believe that she was called upou for such a doc- ument. Ostentation is so peculiarly character- istic of New York that attempts of foolish imitators to identify themselves with thé comical aristoc element are frequent, and oftentimes productive of amusing results. One of the latest came to A FUNNY CLIMAX the other day,and has been a laughing- stock among’ those who know about it ever since. It secms that a family whose wealth had b y some sudden and unreaso) in value of real estate had made up their minds to settle down in the metropolis and got into society. Beyond their wealth, which after all was not so very consid- erable, they had no real claims upon society, and no fitness for association there. The feminine head of the family at once perceived that ap- pearinces go u good ways in 1 York, and she seemed to conclude forthwith that i ances were all right eyery would follow. Accordingly she ar- ranged to make ler appearance upon Fifth avenue and in the shopping dis- trict in a style appropriate to th est kind of living She engaged man. jecet of the tale, and if the truth told no such footman was ever upon our streets. With char ignorance she employsa younger broth- of one of her house maids. Ho was a short-haired, frec faced, Trish Doy, somewhere along in the downy side of the teens, rather dull and simple, over- own, crude, heavy und undeveloped. The young man’s duties were to be nothing further than to ride upon the rumble of her carriage and dismount whenever they came to a stopping place and open the door for his mistress to get out and thereafter to resume his seat, in the rumble, and stand as the adver- tisement of the family’s [inancial con- dition. With her own ideas as to the style of this kind of advertisement, she made the suit which the footman was to wear. She had noticed that livery is always marked with gorgeous butions, and, accordingly, as if to emphasizo more strongly her means, she put buttons on every conceivable portion of the un- hnpm’yuuth‘s garments. There was a doublo row upand down the breast, a double row on the sleeves, the cuffs be- ing extended buck to an unreasonablo That footman becomes the sub- wer NOVEMBER .15 dietanco; at least half a dozen buttons upon the skirts of the coat, buttons upon all the pockets, and buttons even sowed here and there upon the breast and stdes of the coat and up and down tho seams of the trowsors. ':’ho buttons, of course, were of the most pronounced hue and size, Then, with the boy ar- rayed in a tall, silk hat, she set forth upon her tour of ostentation, arriving slowly down the avenue, turning into Broadway and then into Twenty-third streot until sho stopped at one of the fashionable shopping stores. ~After she had completed soveral purchases, or if not purchases, had at least examined several scores of articlos, she returned to the curriage, but lo! no “buttons” was to be seen. The tall silk hat reste: upon the rumble, the driver sat solemnly in his place, but no “*buttons” to open the door for her to get iu, In some trepidation she asked the driver what had become of the boy, but he could make no very clear response. Pres- ently, to her horror, she saw the young fellow engaged in ahand-to-hand strug- gle with a ragmuffin on the other side of the street. Unhnp}»'\ly the ragmuffin was having the best of the fight. When the lady had rescued her employe, & large portion of his buttons had been ripped off and his trousers were torn at Pthe knees, and his beautiful jacket soiled with the mud and dirt of the st & . When sho asked for an explanatien, the boy responded with a sob: **Oi sot, mum, on tho box jistas ye told me to an’ wuld not ha’ moinded all the looks of the paple as wint boi, if it hadn’t been for that by there as cume oop and said, ‘Spike the buttons,” and Oi could not shtand that and Oi jist laid the hat on the sate and wint fur him.” A more sorrowful and wiser woman placed the boy back upon the box and ordered the driver to return home, hoping vainly that the cpisode had not been seen by the people upon whom sho was anxious to produce the proper effect.
