HE'S A LITERARY FELLER.” A Local Sure Thing New Role. PATSY TALKS ABOUT PURITY. port in a The Brammel of the Bar Rooms Sends a Lettor to an Alleged Defamer of His Uharacter. With Fallon, has assumed a fell in Lo J. Fallon acw role. The public is acquainted with Fallon's earcer in Omaha, He has starrod suc ively as u leader of the sure-thing sports, a roaa-house kooper, & saloon proprietor and w manacor fora bicyclicnne. His conncotions with these enterprises were nothing but what might have been expected of him. But his new departure is a great surprise. Ho wants to be one of ‘“them literary fellers," An affair of the heart prompted his efforts, and thereby hangs this tale: A young girl, Whose name may or may not be Sinjth, and who lives in - Council i3luffs, his been'in Omana for the past year cm ployed us a saleslady ina leading ‘millinery store. Sue s a decidedly haudsome youny woman, of very address and manncrs — and nghly — appro ciated by ner employers. She was known to keep company with some young men whose stauding in ty 18 not the best in the world,but no complaints have ever been nade aguinst e charactor, Several weeks ago the vouug lady formod the acquamtance of Fallon and it once joi o ranks of Lhe great army of fair ones v have found it 1npossibie to withstand his winning ways, ‘Tne proprictor of the store in which the young miss was_employed ob served her relations with allon with dis- pleasure, but said nothing to her, The climax came Just Monday morning. Miss Sunth had veen out with Fallon on Saturday and Sunduy evenings. ‘The fact beeame kuown to a little blonde woman who i8 an inmatc of one of the bawdy houses in the city and known mmnong the shorting peo- ple as “Maud Fallon.” This woman claims Palloa as ber own, aod when she learned of his attentions to Miss Smith she went on the wirpath, She visited the store where her Al was cmployed and raised a first Miss Smith, fortunately for her, was ab- sent at the time and “mama” vented her snite upon the proprictor and fnally had to fecm the st re. n Miss Smith arvived tho propricior stated the trouble he had just experienced with the other woman and “told the young 1Ady that she would either have to give up Tailon or her place in the store. The young woman wmade her choice in- stant Falion loved ner, she said, and had prom- ised to marry her and she loved him and was going to stick to him, This settied it and the love-sick maiden re- turued to her home in Council Bluffs and her placo in tho store was taken by another young lady. When Fallon heard of Miss Simith's release from her employment on his aceount his literary anbition was cut lonse. At the dic- tation of . wiio relieved him of the brain bug, e wiote the following letter, which reached tho proprictor of the store on Wednesday morning: ST have been told this morning that Miss has been offered by you the alteroative of being dismissed from your employ or of iving up my company, and that you allege, as reasons for you doing this, that you have Jost the custowt of the *“‘young ladios™ at Capitol avenue, and further that some re spectable customers have objected 1o being attended by a younyverson who is acquainted with me. 8 ——— hus choscn, as a brave girl would, strong in the strengthof her purity and sincerity. she refuses to be dic tated to in_the matter of the choice of her friends; but 1l Mair casts serious imputations upen me and_ I claim the _right of demand from you the grounds of their justification, My ‘jo sition 1 sporting and athletic circles here has given me some ponularity and notoriety, and 8s u too natural consequence, has en: gendered aspirit of envy a nmity against me, what arc but nd white sins w otlier men are ond recog- nition in my case. | donot claim to be inm- macalate.

So I sought acquaintauce. So she gaveme of her friend- suip, which bids fair 10 hecome closer and warmer, if frow no other cause, at least from the nature of her treatment by those who should huve wade a braver staud for one who hus s fuithfully done ler duty to them, while they lave hstoned too willingly to the malicious lios of women whosetouch alone is contamination. The loss of their custon may no doubt be a serious thing tothe proprictors of a store who lay th iselves out for such @ class of trade, but the preaching by them of ' lofty morality and allusions to the virtue of character savour somcwhat strongly of Pharisuical hypoerisy. To your highly respectable cus tomer who threiteus ou my account to yive up coming to your store, 1 would simply say, judge not too hastiiy of u stranger's char- acter on nearsay evidences who in w0 was juterferes with you, Are you quite certain that the lives of your owi male acquaint- ances, friends and relatives can bear: close inspectiont The dismissal at so short notice of one occupying the position in your em- ployment which Miss —— at first in the eyes of eral public, mere superficial doan incalculable injury to her character which should have received the best and strongest protection at your bunds, while her dismissal of me could huve wade ‘any al teration in your reccipts (rom the cusily but ill-earned wages of sin The jealous wotives which slanderous utterances of so-called men 1 need not ailude to, beyond expressing my surprise that you should attach any import- auco to what thoy sav.

Beunison Bros., the Douglas county dry goods merchants, have a branch house at Creston, of which A. W. Davis, an accom- plished, prepossessing and popular young man, has for several months been tho resi- dent manager. He is about thirty-five years old, has a charming wife and a pleasant home. He always stood very high among the best classes of citizons, enjoyed tho implicit confidence of his employers and movad in the very best circles of socioty. 1t sooms, however, that Mr, Davis coveted his neighbor's wife, a Mes.

Monday morning he called at the store, had a long talk with Mr. HBennison, enterac into an agreement to remain as manager of the Creston house another year and went away saying that he expected to return home on the 3:45 Burlington train. Before leaving Mr Bennison, however, he inquired of that gentleman whether he had any news he wishea to couvey to his friends in Creston. The latter replied that he could think of nothing then, though he asked the young man to call again before going out of the city. About 2 o'clock Davis put in an appearance, went to Mr. Bennison's office, up stairs, and they both had another long talk. ‘Thoy finally separated. Davis hurried out, declaring that ne must catch a cable car and get to the depot, On Wednesday Bennison received a tele- gram from Mrs. Davis inquiring whether her husband had been nere. Before he could re- ply both she and Davis' aged mother ap- peared on the scene, very much distracted and loudly bewailing thewr sad fates, Then the fact was wade known that shortly after Davis had left home Mrs. Jennings also disappeared. Bennison and his clerks quickly remembered that on Monday afternoon a tall, fine looking woman, ausworing tho de- scription given them by Mrs, Davis of Mrs. Jennings, came into the store with him, pre- tended to examine soms dress goods, when he went up stairs, but walked out belore bhe came dov An inve: igation at the various hotels re- vealed the fact that the tall lady had - regis- tered Monday morning at the Arcade, whil Davis was a guest of the Merchant’s.

Mr. Gregory, the traveling representative of the company, had returned to Chicago to confer with the company, and would return the first part of the week. He uuderstood that Mr. Ofticer had offered to sell the plant for £0,000, and was under the impression that the company was seriously considering it. Further than this he couid not suy.

One is u statue of whkson bearing at the base this i viption: **Tho union must and shall be preserved;” the other is the statue of Henry Clay, bearing his denuncia tion of slavery, says the Hoston Adyer- tiser. Tu speaking to General Butler the other day concerning these statues, I heard for the first time the true story of these inscriptions. It seems that shovtly aftor the general’s arvival in New Ovleans he saw the statue of Jucke son, and the thought of the latter’s toust to *The Federal Union” ewme to him almost as an inspivation, He mediately sout for a stonecutter ordercd the words engraved on the base of the stan The stonecutter went over to the statue with his tools,but sgon returned suying that there ‘was not room for thé entire inscription. The general sent him back n with an order to omit the word “federal” from the sentenco, and the inscription was #oon chiscled in the stone. Afterwards the stonecutter was sent over 1o the Clay statue, The people of New Or- leans were surcharged with indignation at the time, and mauny of them have even yot an antipathy aguinst *the v dal Butler” ou this uccount.
