B o A DISTINCUISHED ~ SAVANT. M. Soisons the French Mountain Olimboer Passes Through Lincoln, BOME OF HIS GREAT EXPLOITS. The New Tremont Man Fails and Ab- Farragut Post Elects Officers—The Cantata To- Night- Lincoln Bygyities. [FROM THE BER'S LINCOLN BUREAL.| There passed through this city yesterday morning & remarkable traveler who was en route for Denver and the Pacific coast on the fast train. He had landed in New York ciy only @ few days ago. The traveler in question was M. Leon Soisous, a French gentleman of wealth and high standing both iu his own #nd other European countries, * As ho paced up and down the platform at the Burlington depot, enjoging the keen morning alr, wrapped in a gorgeous overcoat of furs, he was n striking picture and drew u second glance from many 0f the carly morniug trav- elers. Accompanying the traveler across the continent was a closely built, rugged, square featured man, who busied himself, af hurried breakfast, in a visit ta the bages car and a rapid survey of a stack of baggage covered with half-obliterated foreign ad- dresses. From this attendant of M. Soisons, by name - H Rowland, it was lewrned that M. Leon Soisons s a resident, if his travels allow of his having a resid of southern France and he has a passion for searching out, visiting and muking the ascent of the most dificuit and inaccessible mountains. Reared in full view of the white dowie of Mount Blane, he was one of the sixty persons who, previons to 1575, made succossful ascents of this al- most impenctrable mountain and when a dozen years ago he accomplished the feat, rounding the Matterhorn and remaining two days and nights amid the upper glaciers of the menntain, it was 1 y commented upon in French, German English scientific perodicals. Following this M. Seiscns visited the Himalaya mountains on the north of India, where he made some remarkable as- cents'and on his return was made a mem- ber of the Royal Geographical Society of London. Some six years ago he visited America and passed o summer in the moun- tains of Colorado and Wyoming, making his headquarters at Denver. Following that he was for fourteen months in the mountams of Africa, and in speaking of south Africa Mr, Rowland intimated that a very thrill- ing sketch could be written covering their experiences — in that distant clime. The direct object M. Soisons’ visit to America at the present time is 1o visit Wash- ington territory and British Columbia and more directly to conquer the inaccessible heights of Mount Ranicr, Hood and Baker. His journey is made via Denver for the pur- pose of renewing a few acquaintances made in that city at the time, of his sojourn six years ago, but with only’a few days delay he will push forward to Tacoma, which will be his headquarters while liviag among the crags and peaks and heights of the coast. In this search for new conquests M. Soison and his faithful attendant will rely upon and parties acquainted with “local cl shanges from which to select a half, n hardy men to accompany them o their ascents, have followed this plan _in other countrics with much success. In the voluminous bagrage carried by the notable travelers, Mr. Rowland stated was all paraphernalia that experience them would be required for the work of as- cents. Their implements made were with o special view to their arduous task before them and their scientiflc apparatus was complote for ull observations. FAILURE AND DEPAR J. 7.

A fifteen-year- old bride, who does not yet wear long dresses, stood blushing before Justice Peterson, at market yesterday and heard her eighteed-year-old hus was well able and .. When Saturduy band declare that h willing to support h lust Vastor McGirre, of St. Joseph's chureh, in Pacifie street, married the couple, who are Lizzie Shield and Micael King, the girl gave her age as sixteen. [t isafelony punishable by five years’ imprisonment, to marry a girl under sixteen without the consent of her parents, and it is alleged that so the clergyman informed the givl. He also strongly asserts that she told him that she was sixteen, and therefore did not not need her mother’s consent to marry, her father having died thre months ago. The young man’s fathe was o witness to the marriage. They live in Brooklyn. When Lizzie did not return home ght her mother started to look for her and found her with King's folks and carried her daughter away, i the newly made husband’s Mrs. Shiclds lost no time in packing up some of her girl’s clothing, and, late as it was, they came to this city and stopped with a relative. Her mother did not return to her home until yesterday morning. When she left the young hushand followed her. She soon came out and then he boldly entered the house to claim his wife. He met her and remained with her until her mother reappeared. She became o noisy that Policeman Butler appeared on th renc and the husband was arrested. The young wife refused to leave him, and the two wer ken to court. As the offense, if an s committed in rooklyn, Mrs. Shields hurried to that to'get a warraut_and an officer to s the young couple there. She re- turned to this city without either, and Saturday cried with vexation when she faced Justice Patterson. “They are legally married,” said the justice, “and it cannot be untied. You 1 punish him if you desive.” “If the marviage is legall don’t want " suid the mother-in-law, but she soon aiged her mind, and the young man_was locked up to witi Brooklyn officer and the sobbing : was ledaway by her mother. San Francisco Chronicle: While iting the Hot Springs last week our at tention w lled to a new discovery, which bids fair to become of great im- portance to our citizens and also to the outside world. Emerging r hed and igorated from the sparkling waters, :nd offered usa steaming bowl, with a request to sample its contents. The flavor was delicious and the taste sug- gested oysters, or a French puree soup. The addition of a cracker mude a savory dish of soup, and the dish was pronounced highly enjoyuble and satisfying by all who partook. Yet the sole” constituent of ou ng dish was the natural hot spr ater, reinforeed by a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of black pepper. Mus. Brown, who hascharge of the buth house, stated that during the last month there has grown up a steady demand for the new dish, and all who tasted of it once, wished 'to try it on every sueceed- ing visit. For delicacy bf flavor, point of ("I“hf)lllf the appetite, ease and chegpness of preparation, this latest ad- dition to our cusine cannot be excelled. A careful exumination of the geological features of the canon wherein the Hot Springs have their source, revealed the startling fact that in the ledges of shale and marl from which the (Lipociphala Lamillibronchiu). dissolvent action of the hot water, charged with werful gases, contin- vally croding ks krotall ‘bonates, must leave evident traces of its passage through these })mhi toric mollusks, and it is o matter o that this dis- cov an 50 long defer- red. Among the vast and varied re- sources of our great San Jacinto valley we can point with pride to the ever- flowing strcam of hot oyster soup, free to all—who furnish, their own sait and pepper—issuing from nature’s grand storehouse in the everlasting hills, only one mile from the center of town. Al- ready there is talk of forming a local syndicate of capitalists to erect bottling works and ship the productof these springs over the length and breadth of '.K. air land. Railroad hotels, city restaurants and church fairs will doubt- s hail with delight this wonderful covery, which, when re-enforced by patent indestructible gutta-percha oyster lately introduced, will drive all other soups from the market. e The Best External Remedy.

In a paper read before o local club of To- peka, Kan., an attorney ot the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad referred to the commercial traveler as “the great American hog,” and passed other uncomplimentary remarks upon that industrious class. At a mecting recently held at Newton, Kan., the Wi ity club of Topeka, Kans.' by one W. ampbell, a reputed member of the law wartment of the Atehison, Topeka & Santa in hog is always on his travels. He drops his sample case into one seat, himself into_another, spx himsolf and his effects over as much 5 oS- sible, and scems utterly oblivious to the ludy with little children standing in the aisle. A recent invention of this animal is to fasten a valise to the arm of the seat by padioci There ought to b ulaw compelling such nui- nees o walk, or ship as other live stock, ut owner's risk.” And n addition thereto the following lan- guAgZe oceurs, viz. : ““This gentleman has his countepart in the woman with a canary bird, who hangs it over your seat instead of her own [ and then talks=I mean the woman and not, cangry—forthe benefit of the whole ca ¢ people are just_circumspect cnough not to Justify the conductor in putting them off, and Just cnough of a nuisance to muke everybody wish they would be put off, but courts by de- crees and legislatures by ecnactyients are pow- erless to make ladies or gentlemen; and so the traveling public will probably always meet the hog and his female companiou on their journeys for all time.

The Stockton Caseé, On 'Tuesday last at Galveston, Tex., Judge Sabin, of the United States district court, rendered his decision in the celebrated hubeas corpus case of Robert C. Stockton, the Kansas City drummer, who was arvestcd carly in November at Tyler, Tex., for failure to exhibit his receipt to the constable show- ing that he hiad paid to the comptroller of the state the aunual occupation tax of 0 levied on all traveling salesnen. The Travelers' Protectiverassociution took hold of the employed counsel and obtained a writ habeas corpus from the federal district court from the eastern district of Texas, maintgin- ing that Stockton was deprived of his liberty contrary to the constitution of the United States, and attacking the constitutionality of the state law, “The case was strongly contested by thestate, the attorney genevul of the state appearing in person, Judge Sabin's opinion is exhaustive and reviews the history of the case in detail and sustains Stockton's petition in every par- ticular. The langunge of the court in declar- ing the law unconstitutional is very strong, 1t is doubtful if any federal court in the country has so vigorously denounced the at- tewpt of a state to tax inter-stute commerce by requiring drummers to take out a license, “The, court grounds its decision upon the an- cient principle of no taxation without repre scntation, and says: “What reprosentation has the citizen of one state in the laws of unother affecting his com- merce thereint Preciscly none. If a state n make X all upon inter-state com e, it can do almost anything in thatline.” hie court says in conclusion : m ‘“The idea of a citizen of the United States being cl nged anywhere in this nation by any power othier than national, in the conduct of his lawful business, in states other than his own, is decidedly ubsurd and ridiculous, The law in question is utterly void so far as it affects the commerce of citizeus of other ‘states, having no goods herein, but selling herein by sawmples.” In the order discharging Stockton from the nd assessing the costs against state, the court decrees that: “Each and every one of the agents, em- ployes and ofticers of the state of Texas shall desist from all effort to enforce the said law upon the said Stockton as a drummer for the firm of Willlam A. Wilson & Co., of Kansas City, Mo., and in no manuer further procced against Nim to subject him to further re- siraint, whereof he hath complained,” The case has attracted great attention throughout the southwest, it belng the first tost case of the Texas law. The decision, it will be seen, only applies to drugnmers repre- senting fivis residing outside the state. It will not affect tne home drummer, who is still subject to the tax. z Hotel Accommodations. The traveling men of Minnesota are pouring Lot shot into the wanagement of the hotels along their route. A correspondent of the St. Paul Giob= has this to say: Tam not much of & kigker, but when it comes to driving geeso into & bedroom to v all pight witlt & ‘man in the oed 1eg it time to kick. 1f the proprietor wan o geese let him keep them outside the el. If there is one thing more than an- other which annoys & traveling man on the road, 1t is a poc rd meal, coupled with untidiness and poor service, Too often what might be a good hotel is made very first, by apmg or attemptin the way of a bill of furc; sec good 1 d vich viands by poor cooking; third, serving in a far more loose, slipshod | fashion, and crowning the whole with ill-ar- | ranged and the most slovenly looking tables, We do 1ot expe chants, West, ever to find a Ryan, Mer Commercial or Cataract in swi, nor do wo look for as good a Stab Corners and the next cross-rond at Huron or Redfield, but we do t, und believe we have the right to ex- t, & more just and equitable trcitment we oftentimes recewve. Make your hotels worth what you charge, and if it be £2.50, #2,,81.50 or #1 we will cash up and not grumble. We are willing for a separation of the gouts and the sheep. If the oue is en- titled to better pasturage and the rate is | so furnish and eollect. o treat them as a single flock, no, never. There are a few men who want extra attention, but the g mass of commercial trave independence and common ho make it sufficiently easy for a well-disposed landlord to get along with them. Since the hotel is our home for nine-tenths of our time. and it is those little things which enter into and make up one's life, will they not give ¥ them to us clean and wholesome. Excess of Baggage. An effort is being made to inducethe inter- state commerce commission to give un opin- ion as to the rights of commercial travelers in the matter of excess baggage. The propo- sition of the Traders and Travelers union of New York on this subject is to charge each commercial traveler 8320 a year: of that amopnt 20 cents will bo charged for bagza; Dlates, £1 for membership and 2 for insur- ance of 300 pounds of baggage in the sum of £200. ‘The union proposes to release the rail- roads from all liability for damages on_every account. They contend, that if the ads are allowd to transport pounds of baggage for man, it wil not he discriminated in fav drummers, but that the roads will be g an equivalent in the form of their rel from liability. One n{flu-oum:‘rnx-nxu\.u\'l:n'l} o the union proposed to live up to those con- tracts aud to fight the commission if it .0b- 4 The commission did not object in se, however, biit on the ground that it was simpl) pired contract ‘that was being ¢ and fail 500 cach tits acquisseenee an unex- d out, ed or refused to pass on the question whether or not such an- arrangement was interdicted by the inter-stafe commeree bill. The reduced rates to drummers will not be in conflict with the law, it is claimed, because the railroads are given an equiva lent in the release from liability on account of damages.

I have been ‘sat upon® a hun- dred times by landlords, bell boys ‘ne room’ lodgers, but it was oply a fow d ago that a chambermaid jumped on men in a way which was both mnovel and effective.

It was a cute rebuke, and we proposed Lo get up a purse for the girl, but'none of us had more money than was required for immediate ex- penscs, so we deferrad the subscription till another visit. But I must confess that some of the fellows have awell detined dread of that rhyming chamber inaid.” Small Orders. An eastern genius has devised a unique plan which lie hopes to introduce with suc cess among the traveling salesmen of the country. This party has already 650 hotels in the country in which he has guaranteed s and at which his coupons are taken in cash. He proposes to sell books of hotel coupons to traveling wen, and the presenta- tion of the coupon identifies the bearer and sccures for him the rates agreed upon. J. E.
