INDAY,. APRIL 28, 1889, —-SIXTEEN PAGES. ) 4 y HOWARD AS A BUSINESS &T. The Big Stocks Not All On Farnam. There is a mistaken 1den which pre- vails to an unwarrantable extent, that all the large stocks of goods and genu- ine bargains must be found within the charmed circle of hall adozen blocks in the so-called center of the city. To satisfy himself of the true condition of affairs, a representative of this paper wisited a few of the business houses lo- cated on the side strects of the city. An agreeable surprise was met at every turn, These same side streets are sup- plied with good stocks of well chosen goods. A little investigation disclosed the fact that there is more difference in men than in stocks in a comparison with other streets, Many business ghouses were found whose shelves were well filled with choice goods but whose owners from lack of a thorough knowledge of their business or want of proper enterprise are dyeing of dry rotand are always saying, “‘Oh, if I were just somewhere else,” instead of loetting folks know where they were and what they had to sell. But thank fortune the business men of these streets are not all of this kind. On Howard street near17th a car load of gasoline stoves on the side- walk made an encouraging sign of thrift and trade within. Justinside the door the proprietor was intelllgent- 1y showing up the qualities of a Quick Menl gasoline stov The superior qualities of this stove were made so ap- parent under his skillful manipulation that the most skeptical must ac- knowledge them. Wight vears-ago a representative of this paper predicted that the proprietor of this store, then a young man just onening a small hard- ware business, would in time own a brick block and command a large trade. This prediction has been verifiod. This entleman now owns a three-story rick and has one of the finest stocks of hardware, tinware, cook stoves, gaso- line stoves, ranges, refrigerators and heaters in Omaha. In company with the proprictor, a tour of the establish- ment was made, disclosing a splendid stock of goods. His stock uvccupies a large store room, besides two b ments, 20x70 feet, the whole establ ment being chock full of ranges frigerators, cook stove, gasoline stoves, ets. The entire stock is kept in first-class or- der, and will surprise any visitor by its completencss and volunie 18t our,” said the proprictor, “whilst no ess than 13 stove dealers failed in this eity, owing to enormous rents and the lack of staying qualities in their goods. I s0ld 223 of those Quick Meal gasoline stoves, one of which y that lady at the door. oak heating stoves, 56 wrought iron ranges and 76 Ca stoves and ranges, besides the ume of other trade. *‘You see,” contin- ued he, T do not pay rent and I buy only the best goods, and those which have been tried. I have sold my stoves for years. You can find them 11 the homes of the best people of Omaha, and every one of them isastanding advertisement for my sto 1d my store. I make my husiness a study, and as far as possible, master it. 1 know just what my stoves will do, and am therefore not afraid to speak boldly of their superi- ority, and I can refer you toany in- telligent customer of mine who has purchased a round oak heater, o home comfort range, or a Quick Meal stove, and allow you to sit them alone.” A short conversation and a little observa- tion brought the conviction that this gentleman was thoroughly posted in all that pertains to his business and that he understands the articles he sells. Just stop and think what this means to you who buy a cook stove, a range or a gasoline stove in particular. You know nothing about what any of them will do. You are at the mercy of the dealer. If he is unserupulous you are gold in every sense of the word. But an intelhgent dealer, whose goods are tried and guaranteed by one who is responsible you can buy with confidence. The entry of a bevy of la in quest of gasoline to a pleasant visit. At the risk of his displeasure the name of this popular business man, who is as modest s he is successful, is given. A visit to his store at 1621 Howard strect will convince any person that a good stock and a business carried on on bus- ness principles can be fmlm\ on a side street. Callin some da E.

The Black and White Twins Found at Topeka, Kansas, Will Lawler, manager of the Eden Musee, is always on the search for something interesting in the way of reaks and attractions for his popular umusement, and he generally Lawler’s latest is a pair of ,one of which is pure white and the other jet black. This isregarded as the greatest freak in existence. The twins will be on exhibition at the Musee for one week beginning to-mor- row. Speaking of his r to a Be representativ Lawler id: ‘*Well, when Y Topeka with the Barnum show some years ago, I heard about a wonderful bair of twins somewhere in the city, but 1 had no time to look them up. 1 heard about them again several weeks ago and concluded to run over and see them, which I did, and found them more of a curiosity than I expected. One of the twins is a boy, black as coal, the other a beautiful little girl with snow white hair and pink eyes; a per- fect Albino, and the only case on record where an Albino has been born of _colored parents. The father and mother of the twins are both ve dark, the father being several shades darker than the mother. The children are both bright, smart and handsome, and Tam naturally elated in being the first one to put them ou exhibition. When 1 went to the house the Iast time to get the children. there was a large gather- ing of colored people. seemingly deter- mined to keep me from taking the children., One man threatened to “'shoot a. large hole through me,” as he said, and another man had a paving stone with which he said he would knock out my eyes. I finally made my escape with the mother and children, while the men in the party were having a free-for-all fight among themselves. The windows in the hack were broken, but that was all the damage done and I consider that I got off with my usual luck., The colored people seemed to think T was going Lu take the children h.\cl' into slavery incident for milar occurren , when I was on my w world’s fair at New Orl many others, I started for with a big company, and one night at Balox1, Miss., was informed by the local manager that as soon as our show was over the colored people were going to have a church festival nd ball in the same room. The principal feature of the afternoon, however, was a ‘‘cake walk,” a ring being placed in a large cake which was on hibition. The colored Romeos, each with his blushin g Juliet, appeared when the floor was cleared, and marching around the room, seeing which could walk the prettiest. 1 being a stranger and the manager of the “white men” show, was chosen as the judge. and awarded the prize to a very handsome mulatto girl, as graceful as she was pretty. Unknown to me, unfortunately, it seemed that her reputation was not such as Cmser wanted his wife to possess, and when my decision was rendered a **kick” was made by nearly every one in the hall. The cake was destroyed and the more boistrous of the party wanted some of my gore. l[.:x'mflmlly worked my way to the staivcase leading to the band stand on the second floor, Once there, I murmured **Now I lay me!” and jumped. The ground being soft, T was uninjured, and I ran for a big lumber the ball, where 1 remained for several hours, when I rejoined my companions at the hotel, who were won- deridg what had become af me, WOMEN PAST THIRYV They Are the Most Interesting in America and Outrival the Buds. *The buds,” says Rustan, ‘‘are a nine days’ wonderand are much talked of for that space of time, but it is the women past thirty who are the most interesting in America. They seem to have the gift of eternal youth, and at fifty are more agrecable-loking than the women of any other country.

Mme. Barrios,the widow of the late President of Guatemala, is thirty and has seven children, but she holds a little court where admirers throng, and worship, metaphorically, at her feet. Mrs. Marshall O, Roberts is another beautiful woman past thipty, and the list might be indefluitely lengthened. The womeu-killers of Lurope who have come over here have shown a con- spicuous proference for these elderly beauties.

Wonderfal and Amusing Playthings Soon 10 be Put Out, New York “The phono- graph promise a mml as much ro- creation to children as it does interest to grown folks,” so smd M. P. Hundy, the European manager of the great cor- poration which now controls the phono- graph and graphophoue industry. “You have heard of the phonographic dollif you have not as yet seen one,but unless you have seen it you can form no idea of how natuvally and charming- ly it talks, laughs, cries and sings. This is the first step in a long line of phono- graphic toys upon which our inventors are now at work. When thes upon the market they will crea wonderful sensation. Among them may bo mentioned phonographic animals. These are toys made out of paper - mache, paste- board, composition and other materinl, each and all of which are strong and durable. Each animal con- tains in his interior a phonograph which when set inmotion produces all the natural cries of the original. There At that purrs, meows, spits An\] wls in the most approved s 2 horse that neighs and whinnies that barks, snaps that bleats in a way that would dec the mother ewe. By using a mi phonic attachment the amount of noise may be increased to any desired extent. Much more interesting are the phono- phic birds; we have secured the odies of the lark, the linnet, finch, obin and canary bird, and can 1 duce them indefinitely. With can: birds the success is notable. We have preserved in metal the entiro repertoire of a number of the finest bred and and highest priced birds'in the market, and by combining the song of two or three into one whole we huve an ar ficial canary that will outsing any watural’ one whatever. 'I'he phonographic orchestra and the phono- graphic miniature theater are also novelties to be soon produced. In the former a band of little images dressed up in glaring military colors is seated on the stage as in some g concert or stood around a drum-i -major as on a par- ade. The moment the phonograph is st going each little musician moves his hands and instruments in the nat- ural style, while the cylinder inside re- produces the music of a_full orchestra with startling fidelity. In the theater we can reproduce all the spoken parts of the play. Another novelty that is half atoy and half aluxury will be a great boon to all mothers whose young children insist on being sung to befors going to sleep. It is a phonograph into which a lady has sung her best songs at isure and which is placed near the radle. A mere touch upon a spring starts the machinery and gives the child as much music as he or she may want. A singular feature of the phonograph is the fact thav if the speed of the mechanism be increased the pitch of the voice it reproduces is heightened, and, on the other hand, if it be slow tne pitch is lowered. At the saume time the character of the voice is not chunged in the least. This odd pe- culiarity enables a man to hear how his voice would sound if he had been born a high tenor like Campanini or the young girl if she had been born a basso- profundo.” FALES CURTIS, — A daughter of the late Dr. Franklin A. Ellis, is on her way to New Bedford to claim the fortune her father left at his death, which occurred in Nantucket four ye rs a0, Dr. Ellis was a dashing young adven- turer in 1859, and he journeyed through the south, teaching school at one time and practicing dentistry at another. Finally he married the daughter of a Tennessee planter. At the outbreak of the war the plantation and slaves were sold and Ellis and his wife went to 1llinois, There, it is alleged, Ellis abandoned his wife, coming enst with the proceeds of the sale of his wife’s property In 1862 Ellis turned up in Nantucket, where he commenced to practice under the name of Dr. Augustus Franklin Here he becume engaged to & young lady of the town, but as the wedding day approached, he suddenly d peired, returning about the year 1570 and resuming his practice, under the family name ‘of Ellis, He died in 1885 and left an estate of about $30,000,which was divided among three sisters, liv- ing at Munson, %in this state, and Or- ange, N. | Meanwhile the desorted wife had given birth to a daughter, with whom she returned to Tennessee, where she married asecond time, The family returned to Alabama, where the daughter was at length discovered. The principal witnessin the case is a western man named Cleveland, who traveled with Ellis in the suuLh, and claims to have witnessed the marriage. Ellis’ will provided that'the residue of his estate, after paying a few minor hu- quests, should go to **his heirs-at-law,” without specifying who th were.

A few days ago, happening in the Grand Central Station, I saw a young man leaning against a car brake "chat- ting in the most cordial way to a brake- man, writes the New York correspond- ent of the Boston Globe. The employe wore the unmiform of servitude; big smutty gloves were on his hands, his blue coat was darned that it might last a fow weeks longer, and the brass but- tons had been polished almost smooth by constant service. His pay was $50 a month. The young man who chatted with him was a black-eyed, faAt-mustached chap, with skin bronzed like an Arab’s and teeth that glistened 1 oper: i He wore a brown overcoat, a : hat and trowsers of lighter color, and his arm was hooked about a geod-sized bundle done up with a news- paper. He was well dressed, but well dressed because neatly but inconspicu- 51y ed. He wore no gloves. and there was an ink stain upon the fore- finger of the right hand. Now the brakeman was Johnny, or Billy, or TPommy somebody, and the young man who chatted him was George Gould. The brakeman received less in a year than young Gould makes in a day. But, so far as appearances went, the two young men had found a common level and met on it. Gould was learning something from & man who knew more about some details of running railroads than he did, and the brakeman so far was the better man of the two, and Gould let him know that his superiority as acknowledged. and by, when the chat ended, Gould sauntered ny like o man who had met an old fr iend, and the brakeman took up his duties like a man who h.ld met another on even term 4 th GEO.
