ALENTINE'S A FLOWER COVERED LOVE FEAST, The Heantiful Kalendar Karnival— Recoptions and Feasts—Ware riages here and Elsewhere— Gossip in Genoral, St, Valentine. Another milestone in the progress of the year added to the social variety of the week in the celebration of St. Valentine's day. A custom that origimated i pagan rites and ceremonies has grown among us nine- teenth century folk a flower-covered manner of love feast. A “day when damsels and swains for the monce lay bare the heart and its tender sentiment, veiling them only in the manner of exchanging affection, Among the superstitous there exists a belief that all birds choose their mates on the morn ing of February 4. From this no doubt or- iginated another which taught that if a maiden's first glance after day dawn fell upon one of the opposite sex younger than herself, the coming year will know her a bride. "The following verse addressed to the £00d saint who is patron of this day is sup= posed to expedite matters, On the first look abroad the damsel must repeat: *‘Good Saint Valentine show unto me, Who will my future husband be." ‘There are aimost as many ways of com- pelling the secrets of fate on this evening as on that night of the witches, Halloween, and auy number of our belles and beaux took oo- casion on F'riday evening to with this object in view, The postmen’s bags during the day were yawning with written tenderness and the feet of the rosy-cheeked, brass-buttoned messenwer boys were known to forget their cunning owing to the fatigue of delivering 80 many boxes of sweets and posies s a val- entine greeting of some cavalier. All the world seemed love mad and even a time-honored spinster from the contagion was heard to exclaim with my lady in the *“Tale of the Tub!" *“This frosty morning we will take tho air About the fields for 1 do mean to bo Somebody's valentine, in my velvet gown, This morning, tbough it be but a beg gers man's,” The “Kalendar Karnival" on Tuesday and ‘Weduesday evenings lent the aid of its post- offico in the ice palace presided over by charming maidens in costume a la Russe to utterly undo the young men about town by their genvral flattering and aaverse person- alitios, Huppily, the so-called comic valentine with its ridicnle and ribald jest is o thiug of the past and even among the ignorant, and coarse minded they are no longer made the medium of apbuse, . I think it wise to say that many of the secrets disclosed on Friday through courage born of the day will give bachelors and maidens food for happy thought and-make a sonm- rather than a fast of the coming forty ays. make merry Kalendar Karnival.” Always as a forerunner of Christmas and following close on its heels the birth of a New Year, wo have endless calendars to hoose from. Calendars which are to keep us in pulse with flying time during the coming 865 days. This primary object, however, is almost lost sight of 1n many of them 8o highly artistic and vastly intellectual are they grown to be. A seléction from some author for each day with all the omamentation that fancy and a facile pen and brush can suggest, We have German calendars quaint in design and coloring which are essentially artistic, among thiem the Herzen record of time, all damty Dblue and white like a Dresden plate, Then there are exquisite French affairs with pretty malds and ardent youths fash- dored after the manner of a valentine with something wise or witty attached for each day in the year. AZl of these are to be had in the shops but rarely.in a life time does one for a brief sea- son secure a beauty calendar such as made # showing on Tuesd ind Wednesday in the armory at the Kalendar Karnival. ‘Lhis bazaar is worthy of special observ- ance, for it is a stride toward artistic and in- tellectual worthiness, and demonstrates be- yond question that our buds and blossoms are capable of planning and executing some- thing besides a dance or a dinner, Far weeks the pretty heads of any num- ber of social leaders bave ‘been busy faihio; in fancy and fact the ‘various booths and making them so_alluring that the sterner sex to a mun, would be un- able to resist, with a result 8o happy that on the appointed evenings the most utterly blase and town-tired of our young men about town were studying — with lively interest. The Second Infantry band discoursed the sweetest poseible music in the gullery above stairs and the moving pano- rama of people divided the interest with the booths, January was represented by a cot- tage with a Norwegian exterior, The quaint sloping roof was deeply covered with imita- tion snow, while quantities of gluss icicles reflecting the electric light added to the bril- liant effoct. The women in odd Norwegian costumes, light colored petticoats, white waists and velvet bodices wore extremely picturesque. Mrs, S. D. Barkalow had this booth 1n charge and she was assisted in -sell- ing the duinty bits of needlework with no pretiier name than aprons, by Mrs. Nya, Mrs. Stubbs, Mrs, Carter, Mrs. B. B, Wood, Mrs. Muir; Miss Julia Clarkson and Mis Viola Carter, The February booth was a well paiated 1ce palace with Rrussian colors of red, black and yellow floating from the highest point. The ian steppes with cotton hung walls and fur covered dloors made an admirable background for the retty paper affuirs for sale. In addition to this there was a postofice with valentines for the bachelors and maids, some pertinent and some impertinent, and all with a suspi- cion of sentiment. Miss McKenua, Miss wey, M Hoaglaud, Miss Laura Hoag- land, Miss Yost und s Bessie Yates as- sisted here aud were simply ravishing in their artistic Russian costumwes and little patent leather boots.

Palms aud rubber plauts made an effective background while fairy lamps cast 8 becoming glow and added w the witchery of the soene.

In the retrospective what a delightful club ij has been, youth, beauty and high spirits coing hand n nand through the rythmic steps of the waltz or polka. Swoet young things have donued their finest feathers and smiled their kindest smiles in recognition of the manly charms of their partners during the winter. ‘Ihe result hus been in several instances a sparkling ring with its accompanying dreams of a church, & veil and & gown all marvysllous tulle and orange blossoms, When the bells ring out the wedding peal there will be a little teuder thought and sigh for the cotillion where special favors were showa in an extrs dance und the interchange of vows to be tender and true.

Men with teams and ploughs have been at work all week excavating the foun- dation for the new court house. The work on the new chamber of commerce building is progressing, aud many other buildings are either having thoir foundations laid ov are about to have tha upper stories put on or fin- ished. Among the important sales of real estate Messrs Jark and Spafford report twenty-five acres near the the Driving park for $10,000, This property has fully doubled in valuo in the last three months, The Her- ald company conveyed to Henry Dinwoody and others 100 by 50 feet, of lot 1, block 77, plat A, for £0,000, Daily sales average from $100,000 to £150,000 per day. On Friday Peb- ruary 8, the recordod transfers wero $187 641,00, Investors are coming in all the time, and every state east of us as well as Cali: fornia, is represeuted. "I'ne extension of the Union Pacific south- ward is an assured fact. It will find tnat way the desired direct routo to Los Angeles and San Francisco, The road will traverse somo of the richest mining ais- tricts n the world, aod open up a fortile and productive region which will bo tributary to Salt Lake City. 'he outlook for a large increase of population is excellent, and many tenement houses are planned, and some are already building, to meet the in- creasing demand. It is singular, thouch natural, that the new comers are mostly males. The native population presents the right proportion of male and female,but it is not 8o with the outsigers. This is especially apparent in the Gentile churches. One sees five gien to one woman in the churches, while in the tabernacle women ratner pre- dominate. I venture to preaict thau this whole vexed question of local polities will find its natural solntion by the Gentile “‘car- potbaggers” marrymg the Mormon girls. 'he latter are pretty, as a rule, though a little proud, and make the best wives. As the telegrapn pas loag sinco informed your readers of tho success of the libernl ticket, I will only say in reference to the election itself,that it was as orderly as possi- ble. There were some arrests for illegal voting, but the defeated party accepted its fate with a good grace, The cffect on the reul estate market when it became probable At uoon that tho liberalsayould win, was to creato a good demand. A-greav deal of prop- orty changed hands und jrices were 1 d on nearly everything in tho real estate line. dvery one predicts thaf, this city will out- strip Denver in a few years. Thero can, at least, be no doubt, that 1t will double its population in a very shogt time. C.

Many amusiog little ncidents of . election day are gradually coming to licht!" The Mormons claim that the_principal’ fraud was commit- ted by the registrars refusing to register their people, yet the registrars only complhied strictly with the law which tho. Mormons themselves pussed years ago, Cwo Mormon clders were consoling thomselves with ‘‘Never mind, brother. We will come out all right yet; the Lord is on our side,” when alittle Geutile newsboy standing near by chimed in: **Yes, that may be, so, but he ain't registerea.” Another case was where a Mormon chal- lenwed another Mormon'’s vote through mis- take and the one voting Rot angry, tore up the Mormon tioket and put a suraight Gen- tilo ticket m the box. A Mormon bishop of one of the wards challenged the vote of aformer polygamist upon thie ground that he wasa polygamist yot. 'Che chullenged party claimed thot his first wife was dead and thav he was now liy- ing with his sccond wife. A Gentile uear by wio noticed that ho was going to vote the liberal ticket, took him by the arm and asked him to o with him, They went aud vro- cured @ license, also a minister, took the voter to his secona_wife, remarried them, and iu less than two hours’ time appeared ut the poils with a niarriage certiticate, wnich the voter shook in the bishop's face and told him to go and do likewise, and he, t0o, could cust a legul vote, The city is crowded witi people and hotel ccommodations are hard to obtain, yet new comers are arriving in large numbers on overy train, Mr. Henson of Omaha 18 push- ing the work in tho new hotel with all the force he can employ and contemplates hav- ing it ready for occupancy in a year's time.

When it islemembered that the dose of morphh'l’lunlly adminis- tered by a doctor to ®!@atient is from a half to one grain, it 1 be seen how the craving has increlised in the case of the Emperor Alex#hller. The czar has made manv aflor:g;'fl! break himself of a habit which must¥nd disastrously if persevered in, but'the result of total abstention from the use of the injection even for forty-eight hours has been such a terrible state of nervous debility and depression that he has not been able to persist in his resolve.

A TALK TO UNORGANIZED LABOR Who Suffers in Case of a Strike—The The Cigarmakers Little Diffi- culty—Work of the Horse shoers, The Brickmakers' Winter. “What do we do in the winter?" “Well, that's an awful hard question to an~ swer.” ‘The query was put to & mwan koown in Omuha as one of the swiftest and best “‘off bear” brickvard men in the country. He was a stalwart fellow, face bronzed, roughly but warmly dressed and had an hon- est-looking eye. He was conversing with a group of acquaintances on a cold corner, and stared at the reporter @s though some spy was endeavoring to his confidence. Mat- ters were explained in a second, and th two repaired to shelter, “*Now that I know that you are a reporter, 1 dou't care if we do have & chat,” said the brickyard man, **and, in fact, I am glad to be placed in a position where 1can set right certnin criticisms and other street remarks which have been made from time to time about the boys who do similar labor to mine." After making a bhootjack ina plug of to- bacco the brick artist continued: *“We are not such a bad lot as some people :magine. ‘'ne most of us, especially the molders and off-bear men, are married. We have our families to support and the most of us do it roperly, It is true there are a few bums n the gang who float from town to town, but that outs no figure with the steady ele- ment. *Then there is another class of brick- vard laborers who injure our respectability, who aspire 1o be politicians, but the boys are ‘onto’ them, and next season some of them will e lookiog for a job. Workmen in every trade, however, have their backsets, and ours is no exception to the rule. “What do we do in the winter! Well, that depends altogether upon how much a follow saves during his summer harvest. Some of the boys are more economical than others. But the average moulder and off- bearer who has followed the work for sever- ol seasons and ‘who understahds his work, St “Hat e are 8 sthonn, 1usty 106 a6 1o comes to & show down we can work ‘at al- most sny comman labor, Some of the boys, iu fact s large number of them, work on the river cuttiug ice.

Most of us live cheaply, and if our wives are good savers—and most of them are—we have a nice little nest-egg laid away by the time the yard season is over. Other common labor such as hod carrying. mortar mixing, helping the carpenters and stone masons on big buildis is wdulged in by the bonest brickyard laborer, The good oves are not afraid of work of any sort o far as that is concerned. Then there are boys among our craft who can run a sta- tonary anrfn-.

Unorganized Labor. Oxama, Feb. 13.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: [ have no means of kaowing the exact number of workingmen employed by corpor- ations, syndicates, railroad compauies, man- ufacturers, contractors and builders, sur- veyors, planters, farmers, merchants, house holders, coal dealers, landlords, etc.; but they constitute the major portion of our pop- ulation. Are they organized as & body for active and efficlent work in theirown behalt] By no means! 2 A federation of agriculturalists and work ingmen representing the most skillful trades has been effected but so far it may be re- garded as an experiment of doubtful utility. And why! Because the skilled mechanics appear to forget that they aro part and par- col of the great mass of toilers engagod i the struggle for a livelihood; because they hold the laborer i supréme con- t:mpt ond look with lofty disdain on tho under paid carpenters and woodworkers; becauss tho wants of the laborer are mwot considered when a strike is contemplated and are totally ig- nored when the strike is on, while the better paid but spendthrift artisans are well pro- vided for, In the case of railroad employes the ticket agents, baggage masters, condua- tors, engiveers, firemen and brakemen re- ceive wages that will tide ttem overa long strike, but the poor section men who keep the roads in repuir for the paltry sum of $1.10 por day are obliged to resort to the aiternative of running hopelessly in debt or denying themselves the common necessities of life, In many cases the latter method is compulsory and if the strike is continued for an indefinite period the poor men are re- duced to absolute penury, Let no one suppose tnat the strike has no bearing on the section men, because the roads must be kept in ::lpnlr. The company sees the necessity of reducing expensoes ana in nearly every case lay off all but the fore- wan and one assistant, There is & large number of workingmen employed on and around the uew buildings of our cities snd towns that ought 1o be & unit in their efforts to iwprove their condi- tion, but the reverse is the rule, Each class or trade Las a separate or distinct organiza- tion that hes nothing in common with its vrother unions and when @ strike is ordered by one its members take no thought about the effect it will have on the others, This course is not only suicidal to the welfare of all those interested in the construction of the buildings, which includes owners, con- tractors, architects, pluwbers, gas fitters, tinners, painters, stoue cutters, brick layers, carpenters, hod carriers and roustabouts, but has a direct bearing on lumbermen, wood- workers, brickmakers and all other work- men engaged 10 the mavufacture and hand- ling of the materiul besides all common borers who owe their subsistence to the building boom.

A number of uames have been added to the union during the lass month, Cigarmakers’ Diffi zulty. The bosses and members of the Cigarmak- ors’ union are having a little strife about a technical point in their work. The disccrd aroso overa very trifling matter, but will no doubt be settled up without & strike or walkout, Nearly every bossisa practical cigarmak er and thoroughly understands the details of cigarrolling. Consequently all differences between the bosses and the men can be intelligently and a8 a rule satisfac- torily settled in a hurry. The trouble arose over the manner of stripping the leaf, Beceding Tailors. The tailors are sull having a squabble among themselyes. So far the trouble bas not interfered materially with the turning out of work. It is not a question of pay or price, but of officers and constitution in the tailors’ union, There are two factions. One section wanted certain officers and failed to got them. ‘Chey then branched out and are now attempting to organize another union, but 8o far have not succeeded in completing the organization, The original union is in a prosperous con= dition, Notes. During the week a force of laborers has been given employment cleaning the streets. Their pay will average $1.50 per day. The night gang gets $1,75. The prioters are joyful over the success of their ball which netted them a snug suwm for the hospital fund, g e John Howard's Real Work, On the 20th of January, 1790, John Howard, the philanthropist, died at Cherson, in Russia, while vngaged in visiting prisons and lazarrettos At this interval of 100 years a tribute may justly be paid to the great prison re~ ormer, says the London Times, With reputation—and his name is household word among his country~ men—his precise title to honor has been generally misunderstood, He ig loosely spoken of as a philanthropist who went from prison to prison an from hospital to hospital of Europe ministering to the waunts of prisoners and sick persons. Howard was withou doubt a good and charitable man. Buf the errand upon which he traversed Jurope over and over again was not an errand of mercy in that sense, He had a far deeper conception of the philan- thropist’s function than to soatter doles. Nor was he one of those *friends of hu- manity” whose friendship to their fel- low creatures consisted n evolving grand theories out of a so-called ‘‘natu- ral law.” Howard really did for im- srlwnmun_l what Beccaria and Beotham id for criminal legislation—placed it upou & humane and logical basis, To his eredit, he applied to philanthrophy, almost for the first time, a patient pro~ cess of research and inductive reason- ing. Howard was a Calvinist, a severa disciplinarian, and, like those Scotch missionaries whom Stanley has celes brated, he was impelled by an overs maustering sense of duty,
