Although but a recent comer to Omaha the fair young bride of Wednesday has climbed into the graces of overy swell sot hereabouts and is a genuine favorite among the leaders of fashionable life. She is a beautiful blonde, vetite aud capti- wating, with graces of mind and heart that cannot help but give her a place in the hearts of swell New Yorkers, to which her husband's family will give her an entree. The presents given Mr. and Mrs. Herbert were particularly handsome, among them being noticed a solid silver chafing dish, two lovely cut glass decanters, a number of sets of Bohemian glass ornamented in raised gold, silver compotieres, Dresden lamps, otc. “ At the wedding breakfast served 1mme- diately after the cercmony at +Old Trinity” the following guests were present: Mr. and Mrs. Woolworth, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Smith, M. and Mrs. Myron Learned, Mr. and Mrs. D.

SOME EMPLOYERS, MOWEVER, ARE HUMAN Footsore Female Clerks Refusod the flege to Rest—Law of Nebraska and Hu- manity Gives Them the Right— That Tired Feeling. Tt was noarly 6 o'clock, but the bnstling tide of “bargain hunting” humanity that had jostled through the big dry goods store since early morning showed no signs of diminution. It packed the elevators to suffocation and filled the stairways with a terraced mass of busy, hurrying people. It surged from the silk department to the rio- bon counter, and thence back to face count- less pairs of hosiery and gloves. It poured in impatient rank and file between the rows of long counters—pricing here—chattering and quibbling there—breathless, petulant and never satisfled. Behind the counters the clerks wearily en- deavored to keep pace with the demands of the customers. They were half concealed behind piles of goods that they could not fiid time to replace before a fresh purchaser demanded their attention, Piles of dross goods accumulated new disorder as they wero overturned againand again, Handker- , ribbons and miscellaneous stacks of small articles were piled in indiscriminate confusion, and the weary clerks clasped their hands to their aching heads and won- dered if the long day would ever end. Whims of Sociul Votaries. It was such a scene as may be witnessed any day in one of the big mercantile houses where the feminine public is busily engaged in purchasing its summer supply of the thousand and one articles which lend at- tractiveness to the summer girl and votary of fashion. During these warm June days the average shopper is not the most easily satis- fied person in the world. It requires a day of observation to fully realize the trials of tem- perand spirit which environ the small army of young women, who for nearly twelve hours of the twenty-four are obliged to study and humor the notions and peculiarities of the woman who is half distracted between the respective merits of a half dozen shades of summer drapery, and somehow never finds just the one she wants. 1t is not the agg Ation of a minute, or of an hour, but it con- tinues all day long for six days in the week, Is1t any wonder that the shop girl at time finds it difficult toretain the suave and oblig ing disposition which her customers invar y demand? hav the worry and dent to such oc impair the health nervous strain inci- upation has a tendency to nd undermine the ner ous system is apparent to the ordinary ob. server. ‘The results are more especial marked upon the female system in which it and various ills are attributed by physicians to the continued standing in the heat, and often insuftigipat ventilation,of the crowded stores. 4 Law of Nebraska and Humanity, In recent years this ;subject Yhas received considerable attention and the criminal code of Neorasku contains’a scction requiring vroprictors to provide -seats for their em- ployes as follows: 20 Section 1. I be the duty of every agent, proprictor, superintendent or employer of fornale help in stafds, offices or sehools, within: the stato off Nébraska, to provide a chair, stool, or seat, for cach and every such employo upon which thafemale workers shall bo allowed to rest whignsker tholr dutios will permit, or when such' tlon does not intor- oro with the faithtull 8ischarge of - thelr- in- cumbent dutlos. Sec. 2. Any neglect oF refusal to pre clinir, stool, OF SEAC OF BYOry Femito Workos I the employ of any agent,. proprictor, superin- tendent, or employer-in ghe state of Nobraska, shall bo deemed u niisdemewnor and upon con’ viction thereof he shallibe fled o summiot less that 310 apd not over $500, and this fine shall e paid 10'the said ferule worker whose Bealth Das been injured by the. meglect of her om- ployer to provide sald chalr, stool or scat us required by this act, No_prosecurions, however, brought under the above prov may be doubted if half of large establishments wage earners in the state are aware that a law appears upon the statute books. During the past few years many of the large dry goods stores have provided seats for their female clerks which they are allowed to occupy when thereis a lull in trade, but the innovation has come about more as the result of recent agitations of hygienic ques- tions than from any effect which the law might have had. In the course of a trip through the leading dry goods establishments of Omaha a Be veporter found a marked diversion in the methous of the proprietors in this respect and a correspondingly decided difference of opinion as to the advisability of providing seats for the clerks. At one large establish- ment, which was among the first visited, it was found that the law was strictly ob- served. The manager stated that a stool was provided for every femalo employe, not altogether because the law demanded it, but also becuse it was found to be advisable from a business point of view. Appreciation of Clorks. “Tt has been our expericnce”, said the manager, “that we get better service from our clerks under this system than we had when no seats were provided. There are many hours iu the day when u clerk is with- out occupation fora few minutes and then she is at liberty to sit down and another customer demands her rest of even five minutes is of ine: benefit to & person who 1s compelled to And in one spot most of the time and L am ure that both our employes and customers profit by the privilege, ‘The work of k is very tryiug, at times, and [ am certain that the wirls are more capable and good natured from being allowed tnese brief in- of rest. 1 cannot see that it inter- with their work in the least and we would continue the covered by the law or not. Privilego Not Abused, Several other houses were found where th ame order wus observed, The fact that it in no way interferred with the sery- ice of the employes was ineach case ae- clared to be true. It was stated that since the stools had been provided she number of absences on account of iliness was reduced nearly one-half, and that but very few in- stances had been noticed where the clerks abused their privilege by sitting down at times when their services were in demand. That the minutes of rest afforded by seats were appreciated was evident from a mipute’s conversation “{yith some of the young women clerks, ‘They found the work loss trying, apd were able to fultill daily duties at” Whe store better than under the old conditions. **You have no idea oy tiresome it used to be when we hud to stinid behind these coun- ters all diy long withtut a chance to sit down except for half an hour at lunch time," said one girl, *There naver was a day 1 .did not go home 80 tived that I was unable to o anywhere or evgp. take any comfort at home during the evening, and I know that some of the girls got 8o nervous before tho day was over that they ‘could scarc upon & customer. Nowwhen we are idle for a minute or two we palkithe sto0l out from undor the counter uad rest. No one is the loser by it and no oneowho has never worked 1 a store can imagine sow much relief the short reloxatiod afford When another customer comes in waare ina much better spirit to humor their whims and study their tastes than if we were 8o tirel and nervous that wo s y cared whether they were suited or not."” Heartless Taskmasters, There are o few “establishments in tho city, however, where the clerks are com- ed Lo stand, whe iu the store or not. ere is nothing i shupe of o s2aL in the store except oftice, and maoy of the clerks are disposed to resent the failure of their employes to comply with the example set by other estab- lishments. They have no recourse, how- over, between bearing the discomforts of Lieir Losition or leaving their places to be tilled by oshers. Iu ono of these cstablish- ments the manager stated that i was his opinion that if the girls had seats that they were at liberty 10 USe whcnever they saw i uld be sitting down half the time and neglect their business. This state- ment was emplatieally deuiel by other mployers.

We never have any trouble in procuring help," he continued, ‘and wo pay botter wages than any other esta’siish | ment of the same kind in Omaha.” Aln on Womanhood, After looking through thoe dry goods stores the r- erealled on a dozen of the leading physicians of the city and inquired what their experience had taught them with re- gard to hygenic effects of the long hours speat 1o standing bohind a counterr They were unanimo:s in tho assertion that no woman could stan | the strain for any great length of tim: without detriment to her health. A large proportion of the cases of nervous troubles in fomales which they were called upon to prescribe for, were directly attributable to this very source. The law compelling employers to provide seats at every counter was unanimoasly endorsed and the physicians declared that it should be strictly enforced e I have noticed one thing,” said a nromi- nent specialist, “that may have semething to do with the nervous ailments that every physician knows to be especially provalent among women employed in the ary goods stores. There is to class of women who lace as tight as the clerks. It is a partof their business to appear as attractive as pos- sible, and many of them overdo the matter in this respect. This, added to the strain on the nervous syatem, is a constant menace to health. Inall my experience I can count on my fingersall the girls I have known who have worked in a dry goods store for six months and retained perfect health.” Apathy of Authorities. omo of the city officials have recently evinced a disposition to see that the law was enforced in all the establishments in tho city which employ femalo labor, but there seems to be some doubt as to which branch of the municipal goverament should do the enforcing. City Proseoutor Cochran thinks that it is time that the delinquent proprie- tors were brought to time, but is equally cer- tain that it is not his province to file the complaints. Ho belives that it is a matter which domands the attention of the Board of Health, as it is purely a matter of hy- giene. Health Commissioner Somers said that the law was too good to be allowed to become a dead letter and that if there were any establishments in the city which com- polled their femalo employes to stand for nine or ten hours every day they ought to be compellea to provide seats at once. But the Board of Health had enough to attend to without dealing in labor matters and in his opinion the only man who had authority to act in the premises was the state labor com- missioner. It was the principal business of the labor commissioner, or his deputy, to visit all the cities in the state and see that all laws relating to labor were enforced.

Ambrose, who has lately returned from a visit to Clinton, Ia., brings back the following unecdote of Lincoln, as told by Judge Samuel Hoyt of Clinton: In his younger days, long before Lincoln had emerged from his humble obscurity, Judge Hoyt was o telegrapher at Crestline, 0. One day Lincoln happened in town and being oblived to wait for several hours for the next outgoing train, he inquired around for some one who would play a few games of billiards with him. He was referred to Mr. Hoy The long, lank and ungainly form of Abe Lincoln stalked into the telegraph oftice. In- troducing himselt and making known his desire, he readily obtained Mr. Hoyt's assent to his proposition. Together, they went to |othe hotel and played billiards during the re- mainder of the day, Mr. Lincoln making no particular impression upon Mr. Hoyt, except that he was a pretty good billiard player. Soon after the breaking out of the war, Mr. Hoyt was called to tho telograph offlce in the War department at Washington. Mr, Lancoln president, but Mr. Hoyt had never met, him since the day he had played billiards with n. One evening, who should walk into the office but the president, *Where is the man who can cateh General Banks the quickest for me?” he asked. “I think Stonewall Jackson can do it sooner than any one clse,” answered Mr. Hoyu. Lincoln enjoyed the joke and laughed heartily. The suggestion that a gencral of the opposing army could fina one of nis own generals more quickly than any one else Scemed to make an impression upon him, for no sooner had he delivered his dispatch to the proper telegrapher than he returned to Mr. Hoyt and asked with a pleasant smile: What is your name, young man?" “Sumuel Hoyt,” “ON, you arc the young played billiards at”Crestline, years ago,’ said the president, Lam the person,” wa tor a hearty shake of hands tho two became reminiscent and talked together pleasantly for some moments. ‘I'he incident sorves to show with what facility the great mind of the great president could adjust itself to all conditions, Here he was, the leader in a great struggle for navional life, with momentous cares of state resting heavily upon bis shoulders; yet he could forget them all for a time and re t with evident enjoyment to a day pleasantly spent years before in a quiet country town of Ohio.

The season this year will be thirteen days, ench of which is taken up by a splendid program. Quite a number of the days are devoted entirely to differcut ob- jects and organizations, such as lawyer: day, editors day, Woman's Christian Tem- peritnce union, aducation, labor, ete. Bach yoar since the organization started, a whole day has been reserved for the Grand Army of the Republic and has been made one of the special foatures. All posts coming in a body are admitted free and they with their families make the attendance greatest on that day. The local post has undertaken to furnish speakors and amusements for the occasion and have already socured De- partment Commander Church and Senfor Vice Commander Church Howe for addresses, besides several others who are familar at camp fires. Heretofore the assembly has been held later in the soason and this is the first year that it has commenced as early June. Therefore an unusual feature of the session will be the appropriate ceicbration of the Fourth of July. The management is deter- mined to make this the grandest of all Long Pine Chautauqua days; it being a holiday for all business and working people n sible for persons who could tot otheryy . to be present, and it is_expected t it will eclipse all other days in attendance The railroads have arranged to run excur- sions from Chadron and Norfolk. The Atkinson band, the best in_ this part of the state, will furnish the music. The largest of fireworks over seen in the north- I be given, & half car lov baving already arrived. Tho regular Chautauqua work has not been neglected and those who come to enter the ciasses for the purpose of study or to re- cewve instruction at the daily lectures will fina that & program has been carefully and especially prepared for them. The 1den of the Chautauqua assombly is to give oppor- tunity for combining recreation with study and intellectual instruction. To follow this iden, s courseof study is prepared and effi- cient. teachers and lecturers instruct in the several branches. Amusement is also ar- ranged for, which consists of musical and literary entertainments, humorous lectures, ete. Persons desiring rest and recreation can fina no superior place for the enjoyment of & week or two for the renson that the Chau- tauqua grounds are located in the most beautiful spotin Nebraska. It secms as if it wero pl purpose. The tents are pitched on the banks of the Long Pine river, 100 feet and more below the surface of the surrounding vrairie, and which has become so famous on account of the absolute purity of the water, This river, which is not deep except at the mill ponds, furnishes unlimited sport for peo- ple of all ages by affording a delightful bathing place. - The mill ponds are splendid places for boating and swimming. This will be the Chautauqua, and as has been moro su each of tho last five cossful than its prede- cessor, as proven by the gate receipts and the general satisfaction, the managers ure determined to keep up the good record and make this the best of all. They are ovi- dently succeeding in greater interest than ever is shown by pros- pective visitors, there bemng more quarters engaged in advance by them this year than at any other season. the Elkhorn road is represented in the list of tent renters. ———— CANINE DIPLOMACY. Remarkablo Sagacity Displayed Omaha Dog. Harry C. Hackett, residing at 4314 Erskine street, has an Irish setter dog that is pos- sessed of more than the usual amount of canine sagacity. Some of this intelligent brute's tricks and actions are worthy of special mention. One of Mr. Hackett's neighbors has a small dog thatis inthe habit of playing a good deal with the Irish setter and occasionally the two getintoa uscrap” over choice bits of bone thrown out for their mastication, The setter is mnot much inclined to fight over the food. The sagacious brute has discovered another and more agrecable method of getting possession of the morsoels that tickle their canine palates. When Midget,” the small dog, gets hold of a bone first tho setter does not attempt to take 1t away from him, but suadenly discovers that there is something very unusual and alarm- g around on the other side of the house, and away she goes, barking as though a white elephant had suddenly appeared in the immediate vicinity, Midget drops his bone and hurries around the house to assist in the attack. No sooner has he reached a distance of several rods from the coveted morsel, however, than the setter whips back around the house at full speed and snatches up tho bone. Being the larger dog of the two, sho then quietly lays downand leisurcly munches the food in & manner quite provoking to the discomfited Midget. Mr. Hackett keeps some fine chickens over which the setter exercises a protecting care. One of the most interesting foats of animal intelligence is to see her separate two roosters when they get to fighting. This she will do without instructions from her master, The moment two of the roosters get into o fight the dog rushes toward thom and deliberately walks between the belliger- ents. She will even place her paw upon one of the roosters and press him to the grouna while she intercepts the approach of the other with her head and body. This remark- able dog has been brought up among the chickens and seems to think that 1t is her duty not only to protect them from outward danger, but to protect them from family quarrels as well, and she has a most effect- ive way of doing it. The chickens rareiy offer any resistance and the dog has never been known to injure them in the slightest. e Marriuge Lice The following marriage liconses issued by the county judge yesterday: Nume and address. § Ralph L.
