P n——-e-..,—-..ir-..-—-—— B UNDE LACE DUNDEE PLACE. THE OMAHA DAIL BEE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1888 —SIXTEEN PAGES. Have you noticed the improvements going on in the western part of the city? A ride in that direction will prove a great surprise to anyone who has not been through that section for the past month or so. Farnam street is now graded to the city limits and sidewalks laid nearly to the Belt Line railway. Cuming street is being paved to Lowe Ave- nue, and graded and sidewalked to the city 11m1t.s. The growth of Omaha is decidedly west- ward, and new houses are being erected in most every quarter. Dundee Place lies just outside the city line, and is bounded on the south by Dodge street, extending north beyond Cuming street. The development of this property has attracted buye. ers and home-seekers from all parts of Omaha, and many from other places, who purpose mak- ing their future homes here. UNDEE PLAGE Will be THE place for comfortable and fine homes, no house can be built to cost less than $2,500 while others will cost many times that amount. There will be no business ot any kind in the residence district, and nonuisance will ever be vermitted under penalty of a torfeiture of title. Dundee Place will not only bea most select and desirable place for a home, but will also prove one of the most profitable investments to those who buy the ground now, while the price is low and choice lots can be secured, Parties who wish to build and desire a loan, can be accomodated with liberal building loans. We are pleased to show this property at any time. Plats can be obtained at our office. The Patrick Land Company of Omaha, SOLE OWNERS OF DUNDEE PLACE. Room 25, Chamber of Commerce, Omaha, Nebraska.

LOOK OUT POR THEM, : During the state fair an old couple hailing from St. Joe, Mo., did the city and fair visitors promiscously, attended by a little girl, who held the cup for the charites of the public that chanced to pity the aged and blind. It is not drawing it too strong to say that no greater. frauds ever visited the city. The authorities of St. Joe say that while the couple in question are oid and blind, they possess a fortune of not less than $30,000 and do not need aid from any one. And, moreover, they resort to ways that are dark to gather in the nickels and dimes. While here the little girl who was with them was kidnapped, stolen from her home und forced to hold the “‘charity cup” while the old man played the violin and the old woman did the song act. The parents getting wind of the whereabouts of their little duughter wired the police to send her home, but the old frauds had left the city. Howover, a day or two ago, they put in their appearance here again, and aro now begging from corner to corner and stroet to street. The public will do well to give them a wide berth. They do not need aid. They are better able to carc for the poor than to be cared for. They are big and fat, from fifty to sixty years of age and their identity need never become a matter of ques- tion. From the state fair the couple went to Kearney, and worked the Grand Army boys and regulars during their week of encamp- ment. MELATOR W. 8. STARKEY VS, JUDGE PIELD. The brief of Attorney Lambertson in the case of the State ex vel W.S. Starkey vs. Judge Allen W, Ficld was filed in the su- preme court to-day. The petition sets up the intercsting fact that the relator, W. S. Star- key, has a casc pending in the Lancaster court against the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad compuany,which the respond- ent refuses to try because he says the cause has been removed. Starkey alleges that no petition has ever beeu filed asking the respondent to remove the case, and no order has been made by him direcung or cousenting to its removal, and asks the supreme court for a writ of manda- mus to compel the respondent to give the case a hearing. The relator further states application for removal to a state court, and court wmust have something to say hefore it can be robbed of its fummumn. “Here, however, the district court wrenches the case from the state court without even showing the scaut courtesy of obtaining itg consent.” but the Principal #cund upon which the relator’s Detition is based is, that nuder the pres=7t law a removal cau not be had ontha Tiound of local prejuce where any of the defendants are residents of the samo te as that ol the plaintiff. 1f this position ncorrect it is argued that the present law violent departure from all the other re- moval laws, especially where the ground for such removal is local prejudice. The case will be submitted ou the brief of Attorney Lambertson next week. The case is of con- siderable interest and decision upon it will be watched with interest IN IONOW OF DL, LIVINGSTO! A special train will be run to P! mouth from this city, over the Burlington, 1o give an opportunity for friends to sttend Dr. Liv- ingstou’s funeral services. His many friends and admirers in the Capital city will be giad to loarn this. The news of Lis death was re- ceivel here with Pm!o\lud sorrow. He was widely known and loved, and consequently widely mourned, but at no place outside of Platsmouth is his death more deeply la- mented than here. As aphysician be bad opportunity to scatter acts of charity that in death leaves him wmourners in almost every ity and town in the state. The traw will leave the Burlingtou depot about 9:3) o'clock Monday morning, and it is understood that a large delogation of Lincolu citizevs will at- tend the funcral services of the distinguished dead, which takes place from his residence in Plattsmouth st 2 c'clock in the afteraoon. “RARBAMIANS'' AND “‘GREEES." ‘The students of the state university held a mass meoting at the chapel last evening to discuss the fraternity question. Since the formation of the fraternities in the institu. tion, dating several back, there bas been & strong opposition to them. Still, dur- ing the past two years, the oppusition o that an must be that said them has been rather dormant. This year, however, the battle promises to rage with all the former bitterness, and unless the line is drawn somewhere bad blood will exist in deep wells before the year has gone. The fraternities have announced that the literary societies must go. But a majority of the students are “‘barbarians” and they have commenced to plan their campaign, and will have it inaugurated in good time. The meet- ing last night w well attended and very enthusiastic. * en Greek meets Greek then comes the tug of war.” CITY NEWS AND NOTES. Mr. George W. Frank, of Kearney, passed through the city yesterday evening en route for New York, onbusiness connected with immediate improvement of the county seat of Buffalo county.

The company expects to put a traveling man on the road with a full line of samples at that time. A great deal is expected of the plant by the citizens and business men of the city. The Hand hardware company received their first invoice of goods this morning. This company promises to be one of the most extensive wholesale hardware dealers in the west.

From the point of view alike of the scholar, the student and patriot, a work which judiciously presents the repre- sentative thought in American litera- ture from the first colonial days to the present time, aperiod of two and three- quarter centuries, isa contribution to the sources of knowledge and to national pride and aspiration of the very high- est value. Such a work the country needs and has long needed. It is re- quired for the interests of popular en- lightenment. It is a want which every student feels. Itis a fountain to which the scholar may go to refresh his thought. Itisa repository where the American poet, orator and patriot may find ideas and inspiration. The coun- try has been most inadequately sup- plied with sources of information re- garding the progress of its literature and the best thought of those who have made its literature. The greater part of all that has been hitherto done to supply this knowledge has not been theroughly and capably done. It is not wanting in the evidences of research and industry, but in most other condi- tions it is defective and unsatisfactory. What was required was a work that should place before the reader select and character- istic examples of the literature of the country, presented 1n chronological ar- rangement, and chosen for the genuine interest of their style or subject matter. Such a work we now have in ‘A Li- brary of American Literature,” com- piled and edited by Edmund Clarence Stedman and Ellen Mackay Hutchison, and published by Charles L. Webster & Co., of New York. This work will be in ten volumes and the labor of its preparation has already consumed five years. We haye the authority of so competent and independent a critic as Mr. W. D. Howells that the labor has been most j Tously performed, and n5 oue will hesi- tate tostcepi this verdict who has any knowledge of the high literary qualifi- cations of Mr. Stedman and his peculiar fitness for a task of this kind, while the accomplished lady who has been his co- laborer oceupies a place in the front rank of literarystudents and critics. Their work is & monument to their ability, industry and discrimination which will stand, for generations and has deservedly received the unqualified commendation of the most capable judges of its merit. We cannot present such a review of this most valuable work as its worth ‘wonld justify. Columns might be oscupied in giving it just and merite®# consideration. It covers, as we'have already said, two and three-quarter centuries of Amer- ican literature, divided into successive periods, so that the reader can have no difficulty in traciug the march of liter- ary aspiration, effort and achievement. He will also be enabled to discover in the process of literary evolution in this country, which has really been very rapid, the growth of social and political changes, as well as trace the advance in morals and religion away from the hard and severe conditions of the early colonists. It is replete with instruction that cannot fail to deeply interest every intelli- gent Americun, and which must be considered essential toa finished edu- cation in this country. The work is finely printed and bound, and is illustrated by 150 portraits of authors, twenty of which are steel. It should huenglm in every private, public and school library, and indeed, no library will hereafter be complete withe out it. WILL WELCOME MORTON, The Democrats Will Endeavor to Suppress a Despondency. The various democratic organizations in Omaha met at the headquarters §of the Omaha Democratic club last night for the purpose of perfecting arrangements in the matter of tendering J. Sterling Morton an ovation upon his arrival in this city, where he will address the democracy in the Exposi- tion hall to-morrow evening. W. H. Crary called the meeting to order and Robert Pai- rick and W. C. Wakeley were chosen chair- man_and socretary respectively. All the wards were represénted, in connection with which werg represented the James E. Boyd, McShane Invincibles, Danish, Swedish, Omaha Flambeau, South Omaha and Omaha Democratic clubs. A. C. Wakeley stated that he was in receipt of a telegram from Mr. Morton, stating that he would be on hand on this occasion. The assembly conferred the honor of presenting the demo- cratic congressional nominee to the audience upon Judge Poppleton. On motion of Jeff Megeath the trades unions in the city were invited to send each a delegate to the meeting, the same to be given a posi- tion on the stage during the speaking. _The following as a committee on reception tion wus appointed: First ward, Thomas Lowry; Second, John Ennis; Third, Ed. Rothery ; Fourth, John Drexel; Fifth, Henry Ostoft;” Sixth, J. W. Tierney; Seventh, M. Hughe Eighth, P. O'Malle; i Sutphen; Danish club, Omaha Flambeau, Otto Lund; vincibles, Louis Boehme; J. E. Boyd, M. Pickard; South Omaha, Mayor Sloan; Omaha Democratic_club, A. C. Wakeley. Colonel Thomas Burrell was made erand marsbal of the affair. The line of march will be as follows: Forming at 7:30 p. m. at Thir- teenth and Howard streets, it will move on Howard to Eleventh, thence on Eleventh to Harney, thence on Harney to Ninth, thence north on Ninth to Farnam, west thence to the hall. It isarranged so that Morton may be enabled to view the procession from the veranda of the Paxton hotel as it passes. McShane In- Political Notes. ‘The republicans of the Ninth ward had a pole raising last night on Farnam stregt, near Thirtieth. They were assisted Ly the ancers and the Scventh ward clubs, who turned out with uniforms and torches. Speeches were made by Messrs, M. S. Lindsay, John Wharton, W. J. Connell, J. P, Green and J. W. Eiber, and were received with enthusiasm. The Young Men's Republican eclub will meet Monday evening at the Millard hotel Every member is expected o do his duty by being there. About Bilious People. London Telegraph: Some people are born bilious, and others have hiliousness thrust upon them through the enormous amount of indigestible food-stuffs they consume and the little exercise they take to counteract theeffects. Kemble, as wo learn from Archbishop Trench, used to protest against the consumption of tea and coffee, declaring that they had done more harm to mankind ‘‘even than ihe doctrines of Helvetius.” Dr. Richardson would, no doubt, not agree with the celebrated actor’s advice to substitute Johaunisberg and beer for the eastern leal and berry: yet temperance advocates should not be too sure that their own favorite beverages do not work injury to the constitution in some way they know very little about. There is less drunkeuness nowadays than formerly, when beer and spirits were consumed more largely, but there is more heart disease. The sale of tem- perance drinks has greatly increased, ut s0 has all the tribe of ucrvous ai ments. We find the learned lecturer at the Royval Institution bearing his testimony to the ill results which fol- low on any stimulation of the action of the heart: ‘‘In proportion to the un- natural tax inflicted was the reduction of the storage of life, and evory luxu- vious and fast mode of living was a shortener ot the natural term of exist- ence.” Tea and coffee, tharefore, stand at once condemned; so does tobacco; so does alcohol. At the same time, if we are never to have our heart-beats quickened, we are never to exert ourselves, never to climb a hill, never to leave level ground, never run, never ride, never do or say anything calculated to make life in the least degree interest- ing or entertaining, or even useful. A man at manual work has his heart beats quickened; but then Dr. Richardson would probably reply in that case, as work and exercise are necessary, so much stimulation of the heart is a nat- ural and not an unnatural tax on us. It is, at all events, satisfactory to find that biliousness has some compensating ad- vantages. Bilious veople live long, we are told, for which they ought to be grateful, although there are occasions on which those who are obliged to en- counter them in daily life feel that it might be ible to spare them alto- gether. In fact, some bilious people are a nuisance to themselves as well as to all around them, and would hardly welcome the prospect of length of "days as any advantage. Others who are only moderately bilious ought to thank Dr. Richardson for his comforting disclosures. They may suf- fer much from bile and itsattendant train of furies; they may be morbidly suspicious, ridiculously envious, horri- bly boorish, and dolorously sour-v aged: but they at least have the satis- faction of reflecting that they are prob- ably booked for good long ‘innings of existence. The last word of science seems, therefore, to be “‘a long life and a bilious one”—which, taken as a motto, is not very hopeful; but then science also knows that billiousness is one of those demons that can be pretty well exorcised by proper die! i e S ‘The Lamplighter." A tattered and thumb-marked copy of Habberton’s “Helen’s Bahizs" lay gpou thié shelf of one of the largest second- hand bookstores in New York, and sug- gested the question to a Sun reporter whether it had not had alarger sale than any American work of fiction, ex- cepting “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” The proprietor, who knows as much about books as Joseph H. Choate does of law, replied that while “Helen’s Babies" haa been one of the most extraordinary successes in the book trade, it did not stand second to ‘‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Then he rumaged around on a dusty shelf, and took down a thick volume, whose colors had faded fromn original black to a light drab color, and blowing the dust from the leaves, said that he presumed that book had, next to “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” the largest sale of any work of fiction by an Awerican author. Making out the faded letters of the title, it was the “Lamplighter.” The hook is now almost unkuown to he younger gencration of readers, but thirly years ago it caused countless tears to flow. It would give Mr. Howells the horrors to read it, and yet more copies of it, three or four times over, been sold than all of Howells’ Over two hundred nd copies each were sold, and there is even now more de- mand for it, mainly from persons who roud it years ago, and, remembering it with delight, sought iv again. “‘The ghter” was written by a Hoston woman, and is & Boston tale. But, though its succoss was so phenomenal, the suthor was for many years unknown, and even now her name would be un- recognized even by persons of literary habiis if it were mentioned. It was a single flavor of her talent, and though it brought some money to her purse, it ueyer made for the fame that its success ought to have given her. Noth- is known of this author except thatshe was a school teacher and had worked at odd moments for several years upon the story. Then it remainea in her desk some time longer, and afterward met the fate of manuscript of unknown authors in being promptly rejected by several publisher Selling a Wife. The Rutland (Vt.) Herald teils a story of how, near the close of the last cen= ician, Frederick Aubery, ghborhood of Burling= left his wife and child to makea y. Ashe did not retarn for some years and no tidings came from him, his wife,supposing him to be dead, was joined in marriage to Abel Castle, of Burlington. Not long after this mars riage, very unexpectedly and unhers alded, the doctor came back. His wife, now married 10 another man, refused %0 Eo back to him, saying “she had buried im once and would not bury b again.” Dr. Aubery then departed. resignation, but the writer to_the land Herald has just found the for the doctor's yielding up his without complaint.
