LACKAMY! LADIES, LADIES!

Behold thVFoetess of Passion Taking Another Literary Girl's Scalp, Mrs. Atherton Writes Up Mrs. Wilcox as MouseColored, and the Latter Suggests a Strait Jacket and a Course of Anti-Lean. William J. Bok, la New York Graphic Somewhat over a year ago Mrs. Gertrude Atherton came from San Francisco to take tip her residence in New York. Although ehe had written much for the California press and was the author of a published book, she camo to the metropolis comparatively unknown, ller friends and acqnantances here were few, and it was not until the publication of her book, "What Dreams "May Conic,' that the New York public became familiar with her name. The book attracted somo attention, and among others in whoso hands fell a copy was Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The story won Mrs. Wilcox's interest sufficiently to lead her to ascertain something'about tho author. Learning that Mrs. Atherton was a young widow and a- stranger in New York, Mrs. Wilcox sent her a kindly note of invitation to calL Tho two women met. exchanged visits, and both being bright, a friendshio began which, up to a few weeks ago, continued without interruption. Mrs. Wilcox was cordial in her praises of the young authoress to her friends, and many were tho complimentary allusions which reached the cars of the young widow as paid her to friends by her poetess friend. About a month atro, however, there was published in one of Mrs. Atherton's weekly letters to the San Francisco Argonaut tho following paragraph: Klla Wheeler Wilcox is a little mouse-colored xroman, who needs conspicuous dress to be noticed, ller only pood feature Is a sensitive mouth. She is very thin, and in a dim light , looks quite young. A New York paper recopied the paraf:raph from the letter, and it was not long leforo Mrs. Wilcox' attention was drawn to it. Surprise filled the eoul of the poetcas that so caustic a referenco could have come from one whom she supposed was her friend. Forthwith. Mrs. Wilcox inclosed it in the following letter to its author: - Dear Mrs. Atherton Is it possible you wrote the Inclosed lteml I cannot imagine why you should wish to wound one who was most friendly in her attitude toward you. Jlv eyes arc full of tears a I write. These things hurt me so at tlrst, as much from disappointment in my eex as from the personal feeling. I tind so much to be happy over that the pain does not last long, but I never give these thrusts unprovoked, and I am never expectins them, and they always surprise and pain me. They also arouse in me an Impulse to retaliate which I do not care to cultivate. You must be rich in women friends to unnecessarily wound and antagonize one who was Inclined to te your friend. In deep disappointment, yours sincerely. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. But if Mrs. Wilcox was pained at the paragraph written by her friend, a greater surprise was in store for her at receiving, in a few days, the following response toher letter: My Dear Mrs. Wilcox In reply to your letter ; I must speak with a frankness which I am afraid will appear somewhat brutal. Perhaps I will : not be able to make you understand that, outside , of my family and a few friends, people are nothing to me. I caro neither for their good opinion ! nor their bad; my one desire in life is to be let alone to have nothing hinder me in my work. Therefore, you may be able to understand that I am incapable of personal spite or malice: people do not Interest me enough to arouse either. In writing a letter I Jot down anything which I think will interestor amuse people, and having the caustio pen of the Californian, I frequently say things which look ugly in print. It may con-' sole you to know that I have been in hot water ever since I took the correspondence of the Argonaut, and have had a number of vengeance- ' vowing letters. It is a characteristic of Californians to do as they please, care for no one, and be careless of consequences or criticism. Also, it is the instinct of ever Californian to scalp. lie does It without the mhtest personal venom.merely because the tendency is hone of his nature. At the same time he always gets mad if anyone scalps first, and I don't think I ever wrote an article for the Artruuaut which did not pet me into a row. When I published the "Randolphs" anonymously at the insistence of the editor, for I hadsigned uiy name to it the community threatened to tar and feather the author if they could mad him. At the same time I have the reputation among; iny friends of beiuj? the most good-natured woman in the world. But tho moment I take a pen in my hand the ink turns to gall. Of course this mental attitude is misunderstood by the public, and one is accused of commonplace motives. Another reason wiy my letters are unusually storm-provoking is because I detest newspaper work, and only took this correspondence because mv friends thought that the weekly practice would be good for me. The consequence is, therefore, that I am usually lu a bad humor when I sifdown to write, and anybody who happens to drop into my letter is apt to suffer. I do not usually answer letters of your description, but as you seem to be more hurt than on crry I feel that some explanation is due you. Very sincerely, Uektrude Athekton. It is only natural that so remarkable a . letter should call forth a responso from Its recipient. Overcoming her first surprise, Mrs. Wilcox penned the following letter to her for whom she had now lost all sens o of friendship: Dear Mrs. Atherton Your peculiarities are personal, r.ot climatic. I know a score of delightfully humane Californlans who would go out of their way to please, and who would control an impulse to onend without cause. The attributes you describe in yourself 80 frankly are not unique. I have found women possessed of tho identical traits In great numbers in small towns, usually in private life. This same propensity to pee and to mention the flaw In others gave them tho reputation of mischiefmakers and gossips and always "got them into rows," as you say your methods do. I think culture and talents impose a certain amount of control on us. The courteous treatment of another and the restraining of our brutal Impulses is all that distinguishes our manners from ignorant boors. You say you cannot control your pen. Then you need a strait Jacket. A person who feels an impulse to wound and kill and cannot control it is usually called insane. All sane people have jurisdiction over such Impulses, if they choose to exercise It. You say you do not caro for the opinions of people. I do not care for tho opinions of people I meet on Broadway, yet I would not exhibit my ludiU'erence by throwing vitriol in their faces or pulling their noses, even if I was paid to do so. Nor should I boast of the attention 1 attracted as an evidence ot unique talents, if 1 did act in this maimer. However much we dislike people, we are compelled to jostle against them in this world. We are all here, and none of us are responsible for coining. But the fewer causeless hurts we frive the better. We may be obliged to wound n giving Just criticisms or advice, but we certainly do not need to ridicule another's appearance. I am sorry you do not realize the happiness resulting from thoughtful kindness toward humanity. One new year I made a resolve to go out of my way to do some little act, say some little word, give somelitte help. If possible, Incognito, to a new person each dav of that year. It brought me more happiness than all my literary achievements. Your attitude to unoffending people belittles and degrades your talents. It is the office of cheap penny-a-llners to ussault because they do not know how to criticise. There is a fine distinction between gall and gusli. It'is the test of ability to find it. Any one can abuse or flatter. Even were your peculiarities a result of climate (which they are not), you should have the good taste to modify them in New York. If all the women in Kankakee sit with their limbs over chair arms in compuny it would not excuse the attitude in New York It may be the fashion to be malicious in San Francisco. It is not thought good form here. I have a strong imagination and am able to understand the temptations that lead most people to err. I confess I cannot understand any temptation to deliberate cruelty like yours. Call it what you will by any line, rare name it is nothing but the most common typo of feminine malice, which permits a woman to ridicule another's personal misiortunes In print. I have been poor and lu need of money, and I have had opportunity to m rite about people, but I never saw the day I could have slept an hour in Ieace if I htul wantonly wounded another person without cause as you have wounded me. There lmotmoneFenondi iu the world to pay me for one such item, written about an unoffending person. You tell me that all you want of people is to be left alone. Did it ever occur to you that they might ask the same of you! You are perfectly Justified in criticising my work. I give it to the public, and if you coooso to altu.M it, that is ouly a part of the career I was born into, und, however severe, it may benetlt me; but you cannot benefit me or the world by callmi attention to my physical defects. It U a sad thtmr for any woman to know that she U agelmr. or that she Is not possessed of beauty. All my life I have been the redpienr of a much love and attention as falls to the lot of tny woman. All that is sweet.aud prcclous.and c.eep, and profound In life's experiences have come to me, und no professional beauty ever ot mors out of existence than I; yet I ? alwgj longed to bo beautiful, and fcladlj

acknowledged beauty in others. Now that my life Is anchored in a tore so perfect that all the ravaires of time or age cannot affect it, I still feel Inexpressibly sad at the thought of losing the few charms I do possess. Fortunately for all of us, this idea of personal appearance is greatly a matter or individual opinion. Y'ou ought to have given jour subject more study and viewed it in more lights before you described it. ...... Had I revealed myself as freely Jn full dres when you called as yon revealed yourself when I called, your meager charms of body might have been abashed before my more generous ones. Ami my "mouse-colored tints," as you must know, could easily become a lovely golden by calling In the aid of the hair bleacher. I think all observing people see opportunities for picking flaws. The day I last saw you in the cruel light of tho stationer's shop in your morning attire, T noticed, with surprise, that your former delicate complexion looked sallow and shriveled. It gave me an absolute pang of regret, as it does when I notice the tlrst withering of a beautiful rose. I adore beauty, and would gladlv see all women remain leautiful forever. I explained to myself that your appearance was dne to overwork and late hours, and that you would look quite like another person another time. I would not have expressed my mental criticisms of your faded looks that day to even a member of my own family, much less in print. I would have apologized for you had they been mentioned to me by any third person, and declared that you only needed rest to be as charming as ever, which I am sure was the case. But then I am not a Californian! Hoping and believing that in your next incarnation, if not here, you may suiter exactly as much as you have needlessly and brutally caused others to suffer here, I will take farewell of you. Sincerely yours. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. To this letter Mrs. Atherton made no response. She war evidently wio enough not to play with lire any longer.

One of the last official acts of Mayor Koche, whose term expired to-night, was the reinstatement of Captain Michael, J. Schaack, of the Northside police, who was suspended, 6ome weeks ago. on the strength of charges made by the Times to the efleet that he was leagued with Inspector John Bonneldand Detectivo Jacob Loewenstein in various "crooked" transactions, including that of disposing of stolen goods. Tho cases of Bonticld and Loewenstein, who were suspended at the same time, were turned over to Chief of Police Hubbard, who says that he will take no action in regard to them, but will leave them to be disposed of by Mayorelect Cregier. Bontield tendered his resignation some time ago, but it has not been accepted. The snits for damages which these officers brought against the Times are still before the court. Inspector Boniield says he is out of the force and does not want to be reinstated. Two Lives Lost In a Fire. Louisville, April ir. v frame stable occupied by James Aliller. . :)loredhackman, was destroyed by lire at 2 o'clock this morning and Miller and his colored driver, Felix Williams, perished in the flames. The stable loft was rilled with hay and feed, and the ground floor contained two hacks and four horses, the property of Miller. The lire had gained great headway before Miller-? arrived on the spot, and in spite of the remonstrances of liis friends and their attempt to hold him, he dashed into the burning stable to rescue his horses. Tho stable fell in immediately, and he was smothered. Williams, also colored, slept in the stable loft, and it is supposed was cut oif from escape by the flames before he awoko. Tho horses also perished in tho flames. Miller was a thrifty man, of much respectability. He was married, and leaves a wife and three children. Williams, tho 'driver, was twentv years old and a man of excellent character. Both bodies wero recovered. Train and Track Sink Into the Earth. Belleville, 111., April 15. A remarkable freight wreck occurred on tho Cairo Shortline, two miles from Belleville, yesterday morning. A freight train was running toward Belleville. Tho track was clear ahead, when suddenly, without any warning, the road-bed began to sink, and the engineer and fireman felt themselves rapidly dropping below the surface of tho surrounding country. They jumped for their lives, and both escaped with a few bruises. The engine and train went down a distance of ten feet and a terrific wreck followed. The cars, engine and freight wero smashed and destroyed in the earth. As soon as the frightened train men could recover their wits they learned that the train was over Marsh's coal mine, and that tho mine had caved in. Along tho track, for a distance of one hnndred feet, the road had sunk from eight to ten feet. Two brakemen who went down with tho wreck were seriously hum River Pirate Killed. Louisville, April 15. Marshal n. B. Clare and two deputies went on board the shanty boat of D. W. Jones, at Warsaw, Ky.. yesterday, and attempted to search it for stolen goods. Jones resisted, shooting Clare in tho shoulder, and the deputies then fired upon and killed him. Jones is said to have been a notorious river pirate, and a quantity of stolen goods from the residence of a citizen of Warsaw was found on the boat. Jones's wife, who claimed to be formerly Linnio West, of Cincinnati, occupied the boat with her husband and sister. Tho inquest acquitted the officers of blame. The late Dr. Austin Flint, professor in Bellevue Hospital Medical College, fellow of tho New York Academy of Medicine, member of the State medical societies of Now York, Virginia, Rhode Island. Massachusetts, etc., says, in speaking of advanced kidney disease (or Unght's): "Fatal termination is many times due to pericarditis jheart disease), apoplexy, difficult breathing, dropsy." Tho foregoing are but sjmptoms of diseases. That being the oaso there is nothing absurd in the claim made by the proprietors of Warner's Safe dire that they prevent apoplexy and euro heart disease, etc.. with Warner's Safe Cure. Why? Because it removes the cause of disease, and when the cause is removed tho symptom called a disease u cored.

EVERYONE HAD ORDINANCES

Councilmen with Flans for Street Improvements Advised to Wait Awhile. i. The City Attorney Suggested that a Supreme Court Decision Might Affect Matters ConsiderablyBusiness Before Council. The members of tho City Council were in a talkative mood last night, and consumed three hours in discussing matters of minor importance. He who did not have his pockets full of improvement ordinances was an exception, but the city attorney advised that it would not be tho proper thing to do anything in.that lino until the Supreme Court had passed on the law creating a board of public works. There was no doubt, he thought, that the court would sustain the present city government, but ho believed the Council should show it tho courtesy of withholding action with reference to improvement ordinances. He said that the Barrett street-improvement law was a very peculiar one. He had been corresponding with other city attorneys in the State, and found that none of them understood it or kpew how to proceed under its complex provisions. Mr. Taylor then explained how he , thought the Council would have to proceed under that law. It would be necessary to pass a resolution expressing the opinion that a certain kind of improvement was needed on a street. Notice of it then must be published for three weeks in some newspaper, in order to give the property-owners an opportunity to protest. If a sufficient protest was not entered, at the end of the three weeks the Council could then pass the improvement ordinances. This statement of the city attorney caused a reconsideration of the ordinances passed at a previous meeting providing for tho pavement with asphalt of the streets around the State-house. A resolution giving notice that those streets and Pennsylvania street, from First to Seventh, and College avenue, from Christian avenue to Tenth street, should be paved with asphalt, was then passed, and the city clerk was instructed to have tho notice published, as the law requires. The city attorney presented a report of the various city cases ho had tried in the courts since the last meeting of the Council. Ho asked that the members give particular attention to Judge Howe's opinion in the street-railway case, in which he advised that an ordinance be passed requiring any street railroad company, beforo it built a ' " line, to file with the city clerk ' a notice of the kind of road it intended to build, and then receive from the city clerk a permit to carry ont the work." Councilmen thought it good advice, and the city attorney was instructed to draft, such an ordinance for presentation at the next meeting of the body. An ordinance was presented by that officer to prevent the playing of ball on the streets or vacant lots of the city. He said ho had drawn it at the request of several citizens, and he recommended that it be passed. An effort was made to suspend the rules and pass the ordinance, but the motion failed by a vote of IS to 7. The committee appointed to draft an ordinance giving the Citizens' Street-railroad Company a right to build an electric line on Illinois street, from the Union Station to Crown Hill Cemetery, was rot ready to report, but Mr. Hicklin offered tho following: Resolved, That the city attorner be and is hereby instructed to prepare and . submit to tho Council a general ordinance providing for the granting of a franchise to an electrio streetrailway company to construct and operate an electrio street railway running from Crown . Hill Cemetery on the most convenient route, thence along North Mississippi street to Vermont street, easton Vermont to Delaware street, and south on Delaware street to McCarty street, thence by the most practical route to Garfield Tark. Mr. Hicklin said lie h&d been informedthat persons with capital wero ready, to; build tho line he proposed, and for that: reason he introduced, tho resolution. Ho asked that it be referred to the committee on railroads and the city attorney, with instructions to report at the next meeting of the Council, and that was done. A communication from tho Board of Health created considerable discussion. It set forth that in 1847 the city had three sanitary officers; that in 1S72 one of tho number was promoted to be clerk of the board, another a meat inspector, and that since that time there had been but one sanitarv officer. The board thought that with a population now of 120,000, and COO miles of streets, the city should have at least three additional officers of the kind, and asked permission from the Council to increase tho force to that extent. Mr. Thalman thought there was no necessity for incurring the additional expense, but was willing that one more man should be employed. Mr. Trusler cited tho fact that the president of the Metropolitan Pol ice Board was a member of the Board of Health, and that it was the duty of tho police force to assist in keeping the city in iirst-class sanitary condition. With assistance from that source, he ' 6aw no necessity of increasing tho number of the Health Board's sanitary officers. Other members coincided with that view, and the communication was referred to the finance committee, with instructions to confer with the Police Board, and see if 'satisfactory arrangements could not be made governing the work. The present ordinance regarding the Cast markethouse was strengthened by the passage of one supplementary thereto which allows the market to be open qvery fay jn tue week from C until 10 a. m., and until 10 p. m. on Saturday nights. It also provides that when stalls are sold at auction one-half of tho purchase price shall be paid immediately, the other naif in six months. An effort was made to pas3 amendments permitting the ? resent occupants to Tetain their stalls at he appraised rental, and allowing a purchaser the privilege of keeping a stall for five years at the price paid tho first year. Both propositions were agreed to, but the folly of such a plan became so apparent that the action was reconsidered, and they were defeated. The annual renting of the market spaco will occur on May 14, and the members of tho market committee think that under tho amended ordinance an increased revenue can be seemed. The Consumers Trust Company was, by resolution, ordered to extend its mains on Hoyt. Woodlawn, Spanu, English and Fletcher avenues, each from Dillon to Keed streets, except the latter, on which the mains aro to be laid from Linden to Keed streets. A second complaint came in that the company was charging patrous $12 for making connections with nouses, and a resolution was passed instructing the City attorney to notify the company that it was violating the ordinance. A petition was presented Jrom the citizens of the Thirteenth ward, asking that the cow-pound located in that ward be removed, as it was a nuisance. The petition wasreferredto the committee on public health. The street commissioner was instructed to purchase four gutter cleaners of the most improved pattern, and the committee on parks vas instructed to ascertain what steps were necessary to imrove the park at the Institute for tho lind, now open for citv use.

THE ORGANIZATION NOT SATISFACTORY. Objections Raised to thWork of the Methodist Alliance and Changes Proposed. At the regular weekly meeting of the Methodist ministers, 'yesterday morning, considerable tjme wasj spent in the discussion of tho work of tk Methodist Alliance, of this city, which, it' seems, has degenerated somewhat during the last , twelve months. While there has been, during that time, no sudden decrease in its active work, there does not 'seem to have been, among its members, the required amount of interest taken to piake it a marked success, due more to availing of interest, perhaps, than a lack of management on tho S art of its officers. -At the meeting yestcray a number of the ministers spoke in favor of abandoning the project altogether, claiming that a, 'cessation of all attempts would be far mdro advantageous than a gradual failure of the organization. However, it warf decided that an investigation of just hoi matters stand would be the best plan to temporarily pursue, with

an idea of preserving the allinnce as anor(janization. but operated upon a different asis. What this basis will bo is not yet determined, and Capt. Eli F. Ritter. president of the alliance, Kev. H. J. Talbott, Kev. S. F. Tiucher, Kev. C. W. Lee and Mr. McXeely wero constituted a committee to prepare new methods, and oiler at somo future meeting suggestions whereby tho E resent system of work can be substituted y one more practicable and satisfactory. I have been out of the city all day." said Kev. Talbott, last night, "and heuce did not attend tho meeting. And I really know nothing of the present condition . of tho alliance. I have understood from one or two hints that have been dropped in my presence that it has for some time failed to come up to the standard that was brignally marked out by its originators, but as to the causes for that failure and tho ; extent to which it is noticeable I cannot say. The alliance has done a great deal of good work in this citv, and we cannot get along without something of the kind. t Should it bo abandoned as it now is, it will only be to substitute something better." Slight Damage by Fire. A burning freight car on the Panhandle tracks, near East street, caused tho firo department a run last night. It was twothirds loaded with baled hay, but the loss was slight. Tho cause of the fire is not known. The rag house of William Edwards on Tennessee street, nearMcCartyywasslightly damaged earl y this morning bv fire. The building is owned by Thomas Wren. Tree-riantinjr by Young Ladies. The tree-planting the pupils of the Young Ladies Institute wero to have done on Saturday was, on occountof the bad weather, postponed until this afternoon. It will take place at 1:30 o'clock, at the corner of Central avenue and Seventh street.

. Crows as City Street Cleaners. Omaha World. The city of Omaha has in its service a force of thousands of scavengers who draw no pay, report to no official, but are protected by law from molestation. They aro the crows who flock into - town as regularly as cola weather comes, stay during the winter and vanish in the spring. Each evening as the shadows fall legions of crows wing their way in a seemingly endless flight to the willow copses and clumps of small Cottonwood trees on tho banks of the Missouri, where they roost for the night. A favorite haunt is at the bend of the river between Cut-off and Florence lakes, whero the banks shelter them from tho northwest wind. Tho air is thick with sable wings and resonant with hoarse caws there after sunset each night, as the scavengers settle down among the branches todream of bacK area lunches and carrion spreads. With the break of day tho sable flock bestirs itself. Each member hops about to warm its chilled legs, stretches its shiny wings and heads back towards the city. The vast flock breaks into small groups and they alight hero and thereon the tree-tops and survey the back yards and alleys until they can pick out foraging places. Then they descend .and in short order the remains of tho breakfasts, the scraps of meat from markets and the rats killed by household dogs and cats are gobbled up. Some crows do scavenger work about the residences. Others alight cautiously in the alleys, and others are attracted to the stockyards and packing-houses at Sonth Omaha, They fight shy of the business blocks. The Actor's White Hands. Philadelphia Press. In the hotel room of a popular star actor there was a curious scene enacted, in this city, tho other morning. When the door opened, in response to a knock, tho star was sitting holding a newspaper in one hand, while his valet lathered the other. M hope you don't mind," he said, smiling, pointing to tho suds-covcred hand. "It's part of tho business." 'Do you mean to say that you actually shave your hand," 6aid the caller, as lie watched the man prepare a razor and apply it to the hand. 'Vhv. certainlv. mv dear bov. You can't lay a sentimental part with an and on vou iko a black bear, can vouf" "But doesn't the hair come out stiff and rough!" , "Of course it does, but we have to submit gracefully. 'It's part of the business.' " Yesterday. All! Yesterday -was best. But it had wide, white wings and sought the wcet. It dropped a pale, sweet flower on its way. The flower that's lading iu my band to-day. And yesterday was sweet. It laid a priceless treasure at my feet. How could I know To-day would envy me what I loved so. What did you sayl To-morrow will be sweet!" I tell you nay. To-morrow is a phantom in tho air, lint yesterday ah! yesterday was fair. Maud It. Burton, in Boston Journal. Uow It Looks from a Distance. Brooklyn Standard Union. If the talk of organiziuga vigilance committee in Indiana to put down the White Cap organization should take definite shape," the spectacle of one-half a community in arms against the other half will bo presented, and an internecine war is a possibility. But If this extremity is to be avoided altogether it can easily be done by the prompt and vigorous action of tho local and State authorities, and the rest of the country is wondering why such action was not taken long ago. Trust-Plastered England. 8t. Louis Globe-Democrat. The attention of Democratic editors and stump orators is called to the fact that nineteen brand new trusts have been organized in England this year, and the year is still in its teens," figuratively speating. It beats all how trusts do flourish in those free-trade countries. SUany a Lif HAS been saved by the prompt nse of Ayer's Pills.
