CHATS WITH CHAIRHOLDERS CGossip Gleaned from Talkative Travelers Aronnd Omaha Hotel Lobbies. HOW A TRAVELING MAN ENJOYED A VISIT Patriotism that Pald in Oolorado and De- veloped a Rich Veln of Ore—Reuben Wus Thinking—Indemnity for Umbrollas at Hotels. “Yes, T can tell you a story, and a true one, too,” said Marion Shendon of St. Louis, as he crossed his legs at the Paxton yesterday, puffed a cigar aud settled down in a big lobby chair. “It is ripe for this period, too. It's a Fourth of July story, and Zeke Williams, one of the men connected with the incident, is my uncle. “Old Zeke Williams was one of the oldest miners in the Clear Creek country in Colo- rado years ago. One day he suggested the advisability of celebrating the Fourth, as he sat in the midst of a dozen or more stalwart comrades who were seated in front of a row of shiantics situated away up Chase's gulch, {n Gilpin county, Colorado. These men were engaged in wresting the precious white metal from the rocky hills which guards its treasures with jealous care and only yields them up to the inventive ingenuity of man- kind. “This crowd of miners had faced floods and frost for years in the Rocky mountain min- ing regions and spveral ot them had lost and found fortunes in the stony hills, It wus the last day in June several years ago, and Ike Thompson had just come into camp with the majil from Central City, which is tho termi- nal for the south branch of the Colorado Tentral road. Ike had received some Denver and Omaha papers and Less Smith, tho youngest man in the camp, had just finished Feading glowing accounts’ of the way that this great national holiday was to be ob- served all over the country. After old Zeke's proposition the boys thoughtfully smoked their pipes and their minds wandered back to the happy days when they were barefooted and would walk miles to a country barbecue and impatiently await the subsidenee of the orator of the day so that they could shoot off their fire- crackers and make as much noise as they knew how. “Soon Joff Allen spoke up, saying: ‘T'm with yer, Zeke. I hain't celobrated nary Fourth of July sinse I was with Gineral Grant in ’64 and blame me ef Idon't feel a hankerin’ to spread ther American eagle and shout fer old Inderpenderence day. We'll all chip in an’ send Ike to Denver and give him ‘“‘cart blank” to purchaso ther fireworks an’ ther liquid re- freshments. Danged ef [ don't want to fire off ’er salute thet day thet ther folks in Central City kin hear and make 'em think ‘er airthquake's comin’. We'll jist hav Less ovir thar think up 'er few remarks to suit ther okasion bein's he's ther only collidge I‘:)gdlmuou in ther crowd. What say yer, Count me in for one,’ said Pete Brown, who had lost an eye and part of his face by a premature blast. Pete wasn't pretty, but he was as good hearted as he was ‘ugly and was o general favorite with the boys who were working in the gulch. ‘I want in the play, too, said another, and then’ Pete be- came tho self appointed chairman of tho meeting and said: ‘All's in_favor o’ this here propersition say aye and contrery say no. Now for the ayes.’ “Every one said ‘aye’ and the chairman didn't call for the ‘naws.’ That night each of them contributed as much eold dust or money as was considered his share and with alight heart and a heavy moncy sack Ike Thompson footed it down the guich to Central City, where he boarded the cars and in a fow hours afterward reached the Queen City of the Plains. Here Ike followed: his own inclinations and soon had enough rockets, candles, pin wheels, etc., to stock a country store. He didn't overlook the ‘liquia en- thusiasm’ either. On the 8d of July Ike and a supply wagon in which the fireworks ‘were loaded drove up to the mess shanty and he was greeted with much enthusiasm. “After discussing the program for the morrow Old Pece Brown, who had charge of the explosives, said: ‘Boys, we'll firo ‘er salute o' thirteen guns termorrer, an’ I'll furnished the giant powder ter do it with. We'll kin cut sum holes in thet big rock up at ther head o' the gulch an’ make ’er big noise.’ ““I'he morning of the Fourth arrived and all was in readiness fora general day of Jubilee. Less Smith had on biled” shirt and had written his speech which was to be delivered just ufter the national salute. Old Pete had fixed the charges and had cut the fuse so that each report would succeed the other until all were fired. Old Zeke Thomp- son, who had made frequent visits to the liquid refreshments, was as impatient for the fun to begin as a 10-year-old boy. “At last Pete approiched the ‘guns’ ana touchied the fuses. He hurried back to a place of safety, and the first shot which threw a shower of rock and gravel into the air seemed to jar the whole hill, “*Boom! boom! boom! followed the other shots and the men gave ‘three times three and o tiger, after which they began to sing the ‘Red, White and Blue,” with more vigor than harmony. As the last shot sent its reverberations over the hills Pete went over to the ledge 1n had fixed tho blasts. Great masses of rock had been torn out of the hillside and .Pete stooped down t) ex- amino a white streak in a hole left by ono of the shots. He excitedly began to shout for his comrades, who hurried to the place, and after being shown a piece of the rock they were oven more agitated than Pete. The blasts had exposed a big vein of silver which would assay 500 ounces to the ton and the boys had reason to be excited, for there wealth in sight to wake them After each man had had his say they ked out enough claims to cover the strike and Pete, Jeff and Ike were sent to town to make a legal entry of their claims. They named the mine George Washington, and after many months of profitable work sold the property for a big price, divided equally all he profits and went cast o enjoy the results of their most profitable Fourth of July cele- bration. As they wentto Denver preparatory to separating for life they engaged a hotel and gave o vanquet to their friends in that eity and Central City. While they were in the heightof enjoyment Less Smith signaled for order and arising drew trom his pocket some dirty and worn pieces of paper, from which heread his now famous Fourth of ration. With hearty handshakes and ood wishes the comrades separated, ut every Fourth of July they agreed to fire 8 national sulute in honor of the George Washington mmne,” WHY HE KICKED, Mournfal Recital of u Chicago Travellng Man " There is a certan Chicago traveling man sojourniug in Omaha just now who always “has a kick coming,” and so regularly does Le register the “kick” aforesaid that his friends are kept busy wondering ‘*‘what next?” He struck town Saturday, and it wasn't more thau two hours before a select coterie of his friends gathered at his hotel to ssk him how he felt and to hear what he had to complain about, It was all of half au hour before he began %0 voice his griovance. Then he openea up 88 follows: “Maybe you think 1 didn’t have a real Tov Iy tme the other night 1 ow wus that!” asked some one, just to t the k Do you see this haggard countenance and the lines about my erstwhile rosebud mouth!” inquired he of ‘the sample cases in & severe tone, “Yest Well, I'll explain it. “You know I live in Evanston, and 'm always klad to get home, providing there's any one thero to meet we.

As it happened I was sitting right in front of the window opening onto tho piazza, where any- one who came to the front door could see me. 1 looked up and didn't see anyone except avout forty of the old gentleman's dear par- ishoners, come to give their beloved pastor a surprise party. 1 didn't go to the door. 1 Just gathered up my papers and flew up the stairs, whére I tramped around for a while, keeping the recording angel busy with my remarks, which were not fit for publication.” “Well, couldn’t you finish your work up rs 1" asked a listener, “Well, I should say not,” replied the kicker. ‘“In about ten minutes up come the reverened, looking for extra chairs, and re- quested mo to go below and help entertain his flock, and, just to save his feelings, I went.” “It'was lovely. I was first introduced to each and every one of the crowd, and nearly got my arm shaken off. Then I had to sit down and enjoy myself while a young woman in o white dress and white slippers recited a piece you have probably heard tell of, en- titled ‘Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight,” and another sweet young thing played a fourth ex- ercise on the piano, with much precision and bobbing of the head. hen one of the buck lambs sang ‘The Sword of Bunker Hill.’ He was quitea skinny lamb and his voice was about as sweet as that of the sighing wind blowing through a sphit shingle, but his effort was appreciated and they made himsqueak board Watch’ as an encore. After he had down with a wilted collar ana a what-a-good- boy-am-I expression, three ewe lambs of the high school age marched up to the music box and shouted ‘Coca-che-lunk’ and ‘Clemen- tine’ and ‘Upi-dee’ and other giddy things from a college song book, looking the while as if they felt themselves to be doing some- thing quite devilish. ““Then they talked awhile. Afier the weather had been discussed aud the crops cussed there was quite a lot of silence, during which you could have heard a gum drop. When this had contin- ued for five minutes or an hour, more or less, the shepherd turned to me and gently in: quired: Reuben Was Thinking. “ Reuben, won't you sing something for us? “Now, I never could and never dia sing a straight note in my lite. 1 don't know allegretto from crescendo, and I know more about the obscu: prize fichter that ever talked through his hat or the sporting col- umn of a newspaper than Iever will learn about the masters of music, and 1 told them 80, or words to that effect. But it dida’t go atall. My wife, who never before allowed me to sing in the house, insisted that I could sing first rate, and the next thing I knew and was up against the piano, telling in sepulchral tones, about a nightingale that disturbed my slumbers the night before. 1 thought that would be enough, but they asked for more, so I sang ‘Marzuerite,’ with variations, thinking to clear the house. But it didu’t clear a bit, and after I had sat down they played charades and other things until 1:80, with me wanting to finish my letters and go to bed. “Finally they did pull out, a few at a time, one or two of them making audible comments about what I didn’t know about music, when they thought I couldn’t hear. Then wo sort of straightened out the wreck of the Houschold goods, and I had a chance to xrk which [ proceeded to do until2 o'clock, d then got up 4. X 2 “Oh, 1 had a lovely time, sure. But the next time my wife visits the old folks, and I visit her, 'm going to take a smallpox card and hang it where any of the old gentle- . man’s flock who come near may read it.” Premature Celebration, There has been much complaint during the past week about the discharging of cannon, fire crackers and other sound producing fire- works_before the Fourth of July. Several serious accidents have already occurred, a fire or two has been started and teams have been frightened into running away. It is not generally knowa that it is against the law to shoot fireworks before July 4th, as this law has been a dead let- ter in Omaha. However, there is an ordinance against such ' things and Section 20 of chapter 42 of the city ordinances under the head of misdemeanors, in relation to fire-crackers and fi person shall unaoces: firearms, or shoot off any firecrackor or other fireworks, or shall light or throw and fire bail or cracker in said city without the per- mission of the mayor, such person shall on conviction thereof be fined in any sum not exceeding $0. The city council may by resolution suspend the operation of theabove provision of this section on the Fourth of July or any other day of public rejoicing.” Indemnity for Umbrellas, A veteran hotel clerk, who knows what he is talking about, says that every big hotel has a largo bill for lost umbrellas to pay overy month. *A man will come 1n and ask us to stow his umbrella backof the counter,” said he-of-the-smile-and-diamond-pin, *‘just for o little while, you kuow.

RUDLOFF-Gustaw at 2702 Cuml troet, July 2, aged 85 y Sotiee later: Funeral wouce PRODUCTS OF PAINT BRUSH Signs of the Times Observed on the Busy Btreets of Omaha. SOME ARE GEMS OF ORIGINALITY Others Border on Poetioal Sublimity—Pyra- mids of Prosperity Known as Smokes stacks that Huave No Lettered Faces— Emblematioal Signs. The complexion of Omaha's business por- tion is freckled here and there with some signs of dazzling originality. A few of thom border on poetical sublimity, This feature is an indispensable adjunct of metropolitan life. ‘While most ol the business houses of the great metropolis of Nebraska are adorned with costly signs of gilded magnificence, others less pretentious attract the public eye fully as much. Sign painters gen- erally swing their brushes in obe- dience to the dictation of the man who orders the work done. They are “‘men of letters” by profession, 'tis true, but, as a rule, they are likewise mea with an ambition to scoop in big round dollars, just like any other American citizen who is chas- ing the butterfly of wealth. Therefore, the business man generally telis them what kind of sign is wanted to adorn the exterior of his place of business. The painter carries out the instruction “to the letter.” There are some business men, who are their own sign painters. A few geniuses are among them. 'L'hey but their ideason a ‘“shingle” and it straightway flaps before the gaze of the public. Tastes differ in signs, The popular colors are yel- lmlvI black, blue and rml. with a dash of old old. \ . S Porcelin lettering on window panes was atone time a fad. Popular demand, how- over, has reverted back to the plam-old- every-day brush, while some grocers who have read *‘everp man his own sign painter” daliy with the primitive marking pot and stencil brush, Poets Are Torn, Not Made. Onanup town street one ‘“‘mixologist,” which is the Bostonian for one who mixes rinks behind the bar) has the following sign in front ot his place of pusiness: “Dew drop bourbon, dew drop gin, Do drop in and see Pat Flynn.'” That poetry has a soft rippling sound when washed down by a froth crested life boat of beer or three fingers from a round shouldered bottle of “enthusiasm." Another man whoruns a_renovating and dyeing establishment on South Sixteenth sirect, announces that he “lives to dye and dyes to live.” This idea, however, has long gray whiskers and is almost old enough to i inal servant in George shington's household. Persons ho read the handwriting on tho wall in a Farnam street restaurant can peruse the announcement in letters large and bold, that *Our Coffee is a Study,” and “Our Pie is Out of Sight,” while another little pasteboard peeps askance from a corner and states that ‘*We Are Opposed to Trusts of Any Kina.” This strikes terror to men who desire to punish food on credit. On lower Farnam street a cigar stand bulletin contains this cordial invitation: ‘Close Your Face on One of Our Fine Cigars.” In the hearvof business section a promi- nent firm has a sign that reads as follows: “Still ho gazed and still his wonder grew. Amnzed at that which others always knew, That—W8 Are the People.” An_enterprising_cobbler on Fourteenth street has inscribed on the window pane of his establishment the fact that ‘‘Here is the place to get a new sole from a sole saver.” Another dealer in shoes announces that “It is best to havea good ‘understanding’ and here is the place to obtain it.”” In one of thoso little alleys familiar to thirsty men, who crook their clbows on a hot day, an enterprising saloon koeper hasa sign which reads as follows: ‘‘Wanted— 1,000 mariners to unload schooners without sails.” Bomo Imitate Josh Bill'ngs, All men aro not graduates of spelling con- tests. Their hearts are all right and their heads have an intellectual movld but _their orthegraphy needs repair. One grocer pro- claims to the public that his store is “*head- quarters for aspairagrass.” Another, who expects to ride on the tidal wave of prosper- ity and steer clear of financial breakers, has posted a notico to this offect: *No monio loaned, cheks cashed or noats enndorsed. No creddit hear.”” Other examples in a few instances would causo Josh Billings' spirit to dance a hornpipe with envy. There are some signs of the ‘“emblemati- cal” order in Omaha, as_elsewhere. Even men that are color bnd know a barber's sign when they sce it. In the following words of some unknown aspirant for Tenny- son’s discarded laurel wreath: “There Is another sign, kind reader, that has no lettered face, It swings in gilded splendor o'er the door at nele's lden however bluce, Dilis resplendent in a bright Ne- braska sun, It means two dollars Interest for a loan of only one.” Fato En Frappe. One of the p(‘vul?rllics of frosty fate is the fact that the fign of “No Credit” in many bakeries often stands as a forbidding sentinel botween some poor hungry widow and a loaf of cherished bread, while “Free Lunch Today” greets the vision of mankind at tho entrance of some popular beverage dispensary. “ieep Off the Grass” is essentially a sum- mer sign that is frequently regarded with in, while signs of “Furnished Rooms to numerically speaking, holds the championship belt against all comers. Omaha has a number of signs of prosperity in the shape of big smokestacks of industrial plants—smokestacks that do not look home- sic’t, bat on the contrary, btelch forth a density of evidence of the bustling activity and permanent, prosperity of the Gate City of western commerce.
