The Hoard of Education committees on
heating n nil ventilation and on buildings and
proi > crty mot last night nnd looked over the
plans iind specifications for the furnishing of
the now rooms In the city hall. Architect
Intenscr had all the plans completed nnd on
hand for Inspection. They are very complete
In detail , giving the doors mid partitions thnt
will have to bo removed and the now mil-
Ings , filing cases , and desks that will bo
needed.
The commlttccmcn were well pleased with
the plans nnd , although the proposed Im
provements and furnishings will cost more
than they had anticipated , most of the mem-
Tiers thlnU that Inasmuch as they nrc not fit
ting the rooms up for n year or two , hut for
a score of years at least , It will bo economy
In the end to do tno work woll. It Is
.also true that most of the fur-
nlturo than the plans contemplate
is Just such furniture as the board ought to
have had long ago If It had been occupying
adequate or suitable quarters. The present
old rattnips that are used as filing cases for
valuable papers are little short of a disgrace
to the city , and even the superintendent of
schools is using a desk that the average
business man would kick Into his back yard
for kindling wood.
When the Improvements have been com
pleted the Omaha Hoard of Education will
have as fine quarters as any board In any
city of similar size In the country. As the
members become moru familiar with thn
rooms uhlrh they are going to occupy their

Mr. Mcl.eod. superintendent ot buildings ,
seems to have gotten himself Into some
thing like a sling. IIo has ordered plumb
ing repairs In the Webster school at a cost
of nearly f-IUO , without the specific direction
of the board , and ho and the committee on
heating nnd ventilation enjoyed a sort of
jnlld mannered ghost dance over the matter
last night. Mr. McLcod claims that the
Hoard of Health ordered the work to bo
done und ho had to do it. Ho
also claims that ho recommended that the
work be done at the last regular meeting
and the hoard adopted his report. In look
ing over his report , however , last night It
was discovered that ho used the word Mason
school Instead of Webster when he claims to
have culled attention to it. The members of
the committee on heating and ventilation say
that ho never hinted to them that the work
would cost anything like &IOU , or oven $100.
"If you keep on at this nttc , " said Mr.
IClguttcr. "you will bankrupt the board
Doforo the year Is out. Wo cannot allow
5'ou to go ahead and make every improve-
incut that you may think necessary. Such
matters must bo brought before the board ,
so that wo shall realize what wo arc spend
ing as wo go along. If everybody connected
with the board is going to pitch ahead and
upend money Vvhere ho thinks It is needed
wo will soon empty the treasury. "
CHURCH NOT JEALOUS.
A MlnUtrrn' Itrnpoiut to an Inquiry Touch *
IIIK Anxochttlon Work.
There is n feeling in some cities among cer
tain ministers of the gospel that the Young
Men's Christian association Is an unnecessary
institution because it seems to do the work
that ought to bo done by the churches. For
this reason there is a jealous feeling existing
among ministers who take this view of the
association. Fortunately this jealousy docs
not seem to exist in Omaha , as will be seen
l > y the following opinions sent to Secretary
Ober by the prominent pastors of the city.
JMr. Obur addressed thcso clergymen asking
them If they thought the Omaha Young
Men's Christian association was worth
SS.OOO per annum to the churches of the city ,
licro are some of the replies :
Jlov. T , E. Cr.unblot , pastor of the First
Christian church The Young Men's
Christian association Is of priceless value to
our city and deserves the support of the pub-
lie. It Is an aid to the churches and to every
effort directed toward the purifying and
'strengthening of our .voting men.
' Hov. C. H. Gardner , rector of Trinity
cathedral Yes , where it Is run on the
broad lines as hero. The Young Men's
Christian association should be a club under
Christian auspices. It Is not n church because -
cause it is not a divine institution. The
church Is only a church because It Is divine.
Oo on , devise liberal thlntrs , andwith strong
manly tone to the institution as you are
doing , keep It away from the devil on ono
pldo and from hyimcrlsy on the other and
the strong nnd wisoheartod will llock to its
support. God bless you.
Hov. John Gordon , pastor of Westminster
Presbyterian church As a more business
proposition I am sure the Young Men's
Christian association Is worth many times
5,000 annually to the city of Omaha.
Hov. Alfred Hodgetts , pastor of the South
Tenth Street Methodist church I think
the Young Men's Christian association is
worth an untold sum ! to this city. 1 look
ujxm It as the best ndvertisument the city
has to attract the kind of people she needs.
How much it Is worth to the churches of
Omaha no man can toll. The South Tenth
Street Methodist church blesses God for the
association in general und for the Omaha
branch of It In particular.
Hov , T. J. Mackay , rector of All Saints
Episcopal church I am not certain that
the Young Men's Christian association is
worth $ .5,000 a year to the churches of
Omaha , but I urn very sure that Is worth
many times that sum to the business Inter
ests of our city , inasmuch us It reaches and
holds n largo percentage of men that wo
deem unable to reach by the regular church
methods of the present day. I almost envy
you your grand work timid splendid equip
ment. May the YoungMon'sChristlan asso
ciation ever grow and Increase.
Hov. S. M. Ware , pastor of the Second
Presbyterian church H certainly gives
me pleasure to speak favorably of the
Young Men's Christian association of this
city. I think your worn is worth much more
than $0,000 u year to our city. The police
nnd city council have professed themselves
unable to suppress the clauts of Iniquity in
our mlast , und tremble before them like Saul
before Goliath. Now , give the gospel n fair
opportunity and it will slay them even as
David , the stripling , In Saul's extinction , did
the boasting enemy of Israel.
Hev. A. H. Thaln. pastor of the Plymouth
Congregational church I am willing to bo
quoted as being heartily In favor of support
ing the work of the Young Men's Christian
association. I never have sympathized with
the view held by some pastors , that the so
ciety Is doing a work which properly and ex
clusively belongs to the churches , and hence
there Is no coed reason for sustaining it ; but
I believe ttiat it U doing n valuable work
which could not bo so well done by some
other agency , and us the agent and helper of
the churches it should receive a hearty sup
port from all who desire the advancement of
Christ's kingdom. I have also found that
zealous Young Men's Christian association
workers are the host workers in the churche
to which they belong.
i Her. ASU Lieard , pastor of the Knoi Pres
byterian church : "I * the Young Men's
Christian association of Omalm worth (5,000
to the city ? I should say It Is. U is worth
whatever amount It requires to keep It going.
It has been of untold benefit to many of the
young mou in Knox church. There Is n place
fur the Young Men's Christian a.iHOclatlon In
every city und town whore there are a
dozen homeless young men.
Dr. J. T. Duryea. pastor of the First Con
gregational church In my judgment the
Young Men's Christian association Is worth
all nnd more than It costs. It would bo well
If employers would como and sco the work.
Hov , A. J. Turkic , pastor of the Kountzo
Memorial Lutheran church U is Impossible
to figure by any rule of mathematics or ex
press In dollars and cents the worth of the
Young Men's Christian association to our
city. Its methods are successful In reaching
young men. It is doing a work that no church
could do , and I hope our Christian people
may como to supiwrt It more liberally. "
Hov. W. P. Helllngs , pastor of the First
Duptlst church From my heart of hearts
I say , God bless the Young Men's Christian
association. I regard It lisa loyal and helpful
ally of the church , n protection , education
nnd Inspiration to those who como under Its
influence , nnd a wise nnd economic method
of doing a most Important work for the
young men of our city. No better invest
ment can bo made by men of business thuu
to put * . "iOUO. or ? IO.IKVI if needed , into the
Young Men's ' Christian association. I urn
quite sure thnt a just appreciation of Its pur
pose and worK will bring to it thu generous
support It so richly merits.
Father John Williams , roctorof the Church
of the Good Shepherd The Young Men's
Christian association is something our city
cannot alTord to lie without. I think no man
can estimate its pecuniary worth.

New Hospital.
Work on the new Presbyterian hospital Is
progressing rapidly , the hot water heating
plant being uoout completed. Among the
most Important changes being made is con
verting the ground floor into emergency
wards , whcro ten men and four women can
be cared for. This floor will.also have an
operating room , bath , water closet , etc. , so
that patients can bo quiculy and easily
handled without being carried up or down
stairs.
An emergency hospital centrally located ,
as this will bo , has long been greatly needed
in Omaha and no doubt this feature will bo
approved and liberally supported by our
citizens.
The capacity of the entire institution is
about seventy patients. All nationalities
and creeds will bo cared for alike , the hospi
tal already having treated persons of all
denominations , including Mormons , Jews
and Catholics. The management intcnu
that it shall be a hospital for the people on u
broad and liberal h.isls , not confined to any
one school of medicine , and open to all phy
sicians alike. There will bo no distinction
and every physician in Omaha may feel at
liberty to send patients there.
The trustees were very fortunate in pre
vailing upon Mrs. Brown ( of Hrown's private -
vato jospltal ) to accept the position of
matron. This In itself is n guaranty to
physicians that no partiality will bo shown
and that every patient will receive proper
care. Trained nurses will bo secured from
the Presbyterian hospital In Chicago , and
the Institution ready to receive patients by
April 1.

She llntl Forgotten Her Teeth.
Now York Herald : Two very swell
young Woinon { jot on n downtown ele
vated train several afternoons ago at
Fiftieth street. It was easy to see that
they wore 'way up in the social scale.
They took scuta in one of the cross Heats
in the first car. The car was well lillcd.
When the train stopped at the Forty-
second street station the taller of the
two young women said something to her
companion which made her laugh. That
laugh revealed a void where pearly
teotli should bo , and the charm was
broken.
It must huvo been the first tlmo the
voting woman had laughed since uho
loft her house. She changed color ,
clapped her hand to her mouth , and
startled the car by exclaiming :
"Oh , Lillian , I'vo forgotten my
teeth ! "
The two young women jumped up
quickly and rushed out of the car just as
the train was starting. Laughter rip
pled through the car all the way to the
Buttery.

General Manager Dickinson nnd Superin
tendent of Car Service Hucklngham are en
gaged thcso days In the pleasant duty of
making comparisons between the present
wage scale paid switchmen on the Union
Pacific nnd the schedule presented the
management this week by the Switch
men's Mutual Aid association and the Order
of Itnilwny Trainmen.
While the railway people have little
news to glvo out , still they have
gotten far enough along In their
problems of arithmetic to show that
the increase demanded In the Denver yard
nlono will foot up the snug sum of $0,000 a
year while the now manner of computing
time in the other yards , changing from the
month to the hour basis , will add to the
operating expenses about S-0,000 , so that the
one Hem of switchmen's wages alone will In
crease the expenses of the company , should
the schedule bo adopted , about $55,000 a
year.
At present all the terminal yards
on ithe Union Pacific system
nrc paid according to the Chicago scale ,
which is a monthly basis , but the proposed
rules require an hourly computation , with
fractional hours that will greatly raise the
pay of the men.
It Is not sought to Increase the number of
switchmen who are to receive the Chicago
scale , but the increase will como through
the manner of computing tlmo. Small and
intermediate yards remain as now , but the
schedule provides that Council UluiTs.Omaha ,

the Chicago scale with the exception of
Trinidad , Pueblo , Topeka , Lincoln and
Beatrice , which are newly taken Into the
fold.

Under the existing condition of the system
and upon the eve of its annual election ,
knowing ones intimate that the switchmen
will have to present a much stronger case
than at present if they would succeed in
adding $ .10,000 to the expenses of the
Union Pacific. For twenty years the
yards at Denver have been operated as now ,
each year a betterment of the service being
made for those who "make up" and "break
up" trains. But with the great unrest not
only in railroad labor circles , but in all
trades as well , the switchmen thought this
the proper time to present their requests ,
tmd accordingly the new schedule was pre
pared in Omaha and received the ofllclal
sanction of the local organization and then
of the general grievance committee of the
system.
The next meeting with thoswltchmcn will
bo held on Tuesday , when a comparative
table will bo submitted the men by the man
agement of the Union Pacific to more clearly
present the demands made by the employed.

AMONcTwAGE WORKERS.
A Question of Grnatcat Moment lleforo the
LnillcB * Assembly.
Local assembly No. ; 3033 held its regular
but by no means usual session last night.
This assembly is composed exclusively of
girls who earn their own bread , and they are
in the throes of arrangements for their second
end annual ball , which will bo held at Expo
sition hall on the evening of Monday ,
April 10.
The subject which distressed the fair
damsels last night was "What shall wo
wear ? " It had been previously decided that
nil members should wear uniform color ,
material and cut of gown , but what that
color should bo proved a very distressing
question. And no wonder , for some of the
dear charmers are proud and stately blondes
while others are of the brunette and queenly
typo. Then again the crinoline had its earn
est advocates , while still others suggested
"mother hubbard" and a "bloomer" costume.
How it will end no masculine mind can
foretell , but male members of the assemblies
do assert that If the ladles decide to adopt
crinolines or mother hubbards they will all
llock out on the fire escapes by themselves.
The cynosure of all eyes lust night and the
center of every group of whispering girls
was Miss Laura Springborg , who biushlngly
announced that It was to take place on
March SO nt her home , and that Mr. M.
PecK , one of the most popular steam fitters
in the Union Pacific shops , was to assist. As
there are only thrco weeks till the consum

BOGUS BUTTER.
Commission Men Will Work for thoAntl-
Jlutterln Hill.
The commission merchants of Omaha mot
yesterday afternoon to consider the buttcrlno
question. George Haskell was made chair
man and Mr. GHck secretary. It was stated
that the dairy and creamery men of the
stnto had secured the introduction Into the
legislature of the state u bill known as house
roll No. 100 , which prohibits the sale or
manufacture in the state of butterlno or sim
ilar commodities excepting that the same bo
colored a bright pink. Copies of the bill
wore passed around and the different sec
tions thoroughly discussed. It was stated
that butterino was being sold In the city and
throughout the state in such u manner us to
lead consumers to believe that they were
gutting genuine butter , and in consequence
quence the dairy interests of the state are
suffering.
The bill aims to provide against this
species of deception by compelling the color
ing of the commodity. The mil was heartily
machine to S. M. Press , receiving for it an
overcoat'and H in cash , all of which he kept.
Itoblnson.squcalcd nnd had Murrey arrested ,
but when ho remembered that Murrey know
too much about his matrimonial relations
and was liable to give it all away ho refused
to prosecute. Then It was that the police
got some light on the subject and made a
still hunt for Iloblnson , while Murrey was
locked up in jail. Up to date they hare
Indorsed In nil Its proVKuTiis excepting thnt
jvortlon relating to the manufacture. Com-

In Now York nnd Pennsylvania , and that
the butter men had sucWMed In driving out
the Imitation article. 'IiTVennotit the law

ERIN'S GLORY.
Honoring the .Memory of Kminott. Patriot
nnd Martyr ,
The stars and stripes of the American Hag
nnd the green of the flag of Erin formed n
beautiful arch over the stage of the hall of
Crclghton college last night , while high
above that arch hung n life size portrait of
that Irish patriot , Hobcrt Emmctt , who
ninety years ago gave his young life in the
defense of Ireland.
On the floor of the hall were COO Irish-
Americans , who had gathered there to com
memorate the 115th anniversary of the
birthday of that great lover of Irish liberty.
The entertainment , which was literary and
musical In its nature , was In charge of 'di
visions thrco and six of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians , and was a success in every
particular.
John Hush , the chairman of the evening ,
in calling the meeting to order , said thnt ho
was glad to see so many of the liberty loving
Irish-Americans turn out to show their es
teem for one of the purest patriots who had
ever offered his life for a holy cause.
Emmett's last words were , "When my coun
try takes Its place among the other na
tions of the earth , then my epitaph may be
written , but not until then. " The tlmo was
not far distant when that epitaph could bo
written nnd when a monument to the
memory of Itobcrt Emmctt would bo com
pleted. Ireland has been in chains for seven
long centuries , but she was not subdued , nor
would she be so long as the G.'i.OOO.OOO Ameri
can citizens demanded that every man , ro-
gardedlcss of the religion that ho professed ,
should bo free.
"No man , " said Mr. Hush , "shall bo de
prived of his religious or his political liberty.
This is the voice of this grand government
of the United Stat s , and it is the lesson
taught by Washington1 a"ril ( the other noble
patriots of the revolution. .
"There Is freedom disturbing
one enemy pf , one
turbing clement In the laud of Erin nnd also
in this country , and life U the Orangeman.
His one cry is that Ireland must not bo free
and that she must not haye her liberty.
"Poor narrow minded , ; Vlgot , may God enlarge -
largo your mind and your Ideas until you
may know that His mission was upon this
earth. The tlmo will como when He will
look down upon you wljb , an eye of sorrow
and pity. " '
The remarks of Mr. Hush were received
with a warm and hearty-round of enthslasm ,
but it was no more hearty than was the en
thusiasm when WilllaniiV.Gurley was Intro
duced.
Mr. Gurloy said that lie would not go into
the discussitfn of Irish history. IIo did not
not believe that the. mooting was for that
purpose , ns his idea winitlmt it was for the
purpose of paying tribute to the memory of a
departed hero , one who had'giTeii'his ' life fur
his country , one whoso Jncmory soared to
heights nmomr the stars. Seven years the
American patriots battled for freedom , but
Ireland had done more ; she had battled for
seven centuries for the same precious boon.
"Tho Irish , I want lo say , are known to
possess that great characteristic , the love of
liberty. They planted the seeds of liberty
in their own land and saw them blossom in
America. Irishmen , it is proper for you to
gather together and celebrate the festal
days of your native land , thnt laud which
your fathers and your fathers' fathers loved
so well. Lot your prayer be , no matter at
what altar you worship , that the day Is not
far distant when Ireland will bo free. "
C. J. Smyth spoke at some length , detail
ing a history of the lifo of Emmett and tell
ing of his on'orts to plant the Hug of Erin
upon Dublin castle , his arrest and convic
tion , together with nis execution , which
took place September 20 , ISO. ! .
Although Emmett was killed , ho accom
plished ono thing. IIo sowed the seeds of
liberty in the Irish breast , and the seeds had

year would bring about a. rent in the clouds
by which the Irish people would see the sun
of freedom shine upon the land where their
ancestors fought and bled.
The musical part of the program was de
lightfully rendered by Miss Mary Hush ,
Miss Hose Brady and Miss Maggie Hush.
Emmott's famous speech , which was deliv
ered in the Dublin dock and before the crimi
nal court , was recited by T. J , Flynn in a
manner that caused the rich Irish blood to
boll us it flowed through the veins of the
men who regard the man as a patriot instead
of u traitor.
The character song by B. J. McArdlo and
"When Ireland lias an Army of Her Own , "
by J. P. Connolly , were both loudly encored.

Weight uiul rood.
Why does not a man weigh a pound
more immediately after eating a pound
weight of food ? A little reflection will
readily explain this apparent mystery.
During the process of mastication , de
glutition , etc. , certain muscles are
brought into active play , and the exor
cise of any muscle necessitates a temporary
ary waste of its tissues , and u certain
amount of carbon is eliminated one
passed off during the course of the meal.
This loss , however , is trifling as com
pared with that duo to respiration and
perspiration , both of which are increased
during the various operations of making
a meal. The length of tirao ono maj
take to consume a poyjyl of food makes
but little dilToronce. VPa.iiieso losses , for
if it is eaten leisurely there is but slighi
increase of respiration or perspiration
whereas if it is hurribd through both
are abnormally accelerated. Hence , by
the time the pound isf' baton , the con
sumcr has lost appreciably in moisture
and carbonic acid.

Mr. A. C. Foster , mnnnRcr for Swift &Co.f
m had the plntiR prepared for his llrm's
io\v buildings nml will submit thorn shortly
or approval. His plans nro to remove the
nuue onico ami supply building , now stand-
n g In nn Li of the main buildings , ami con-
tlnuii the six-story brick structures to a line
with the north nnd cast walls. A three-
storj brick building will then bo added on
the north , extending clear up to the viaduct ,
with n driveway from the bridge Into an
ippur story of the building. Tlio
mention Is to use the upper
leer of the last mentioned build
ing for n wholesale market to accommodate
; ho extensive trade of the company with
Eolith Omaha nnd-Omaha retail dealers.
Tnls Is a part of the original plan , and It was
contemplated before the viaduct was built.
It will enable the retail dealers to load their
wagons conveniently and safely without the
risk of being struck by passing trains , and
to pull out on a level with the paved streets.
The remaining floors of the wholesale
building will contain the onleq and supply
rooms , the whole to txj finely finished and
made us convenient as modern skill can
make It. The local wholesale trade has
fallen largely into the hands of the Swift
company , nml when Its buildings have boon
completed that department will be larger
and netter equipped to take care of the busi
ness than any packing concern in the west.
