' The nonpartl an reform members of the
"Board of Flro and Police Commissioners gave
on example last night , ot partisanship for
the furtherance of selfish cc'1 end the pay
ment of political debts , The partisanship ot
tbo board could not have been more op-
' parent -than when the question regarding the
proper medium for the advertisement ot
liquor HCCMO notices for the coming year
arose. It Is the reading ot the law that tbo
advertisements tiiall bo Inserted In the paper
liavlng the largest circulation In the county.
_ lAs a means ot determining- what paper was
legally entitled to the notices nnd to prevent
costly mistakes by tlio liquor dealers tbo
following resolution was Introduced by Mayor
Moorcs :
Whereis , The law governing the sale of
malt , spirituous nnd vinous liquors requires
that each applicant ( or license * to sell such
liquors ndveitlso In the paper of largest
circulation In the county his notice of ap
plication for HUcli license for a period of
two weeks ; nnd ,
Whcrcns , For the last few years there
has been much controversy between the
different newspapers In this city us to
which wan the proper paper In which wild
notices were to bo published , causing n
great deal of annoyance nnd loss of tlmo
to the license board ns well ns to the appli
cants for licenses ; therefore , bo It
Ilesolved , That for the- purpose of ending
such controversy and loss of time the dif
ferent publishers of this county be Invited
by this board to furnish statements under
oath of Iho circulation ot each separate
edition of their newspapers ; said state
ments to bo addressed to this board and
delivered to tliu clerk no later than De
cember C , tit 5 o'clock p. m. ; said state
ments to cover only the actual paid circu
lation In Douglas county for a period of
three months ending November 30 , 1S97 ,
these statements to be given to the clerk
of this board for the guidance of appli
cants.
This effort to deal with till In an Impartial
manner met with scant consideration at the
bands of the reform board. It was ot once
evident that the majority had no Intention ot
acting In the matter with any pretense ot
fairness. In splto of the express words of
the law that licenses shall ariiear In the
paper of largest circulation the sa-called uon-
partltan appointees of Governor Holcotnb at
tempted -to declare the World-Herald to ho
entitled to the publication ot thcso notices
without any testimony whatever as to Its
circulation. Mayor Moorcs1 resolution was
voted down by Commissioners Ilerdman ,
Gregory and Pcabody Dullard being absent.
The foreordained purpose of the board In
Btlppresslng fair play was cirphaslzod In n
resolution offered by Commissioner Ilerdman
and affirmed by his two associates In the
last previous vote , as follows :
Ilesolved , That liquor dealers are hereby
ndvlsed that under the law they should
publish thulr notices In the newspaper of
largest circulation In Douglas county for
two weeks nnd that these publications
( should be completed before the expiration
of their presiMit licenses. If possible.
Resolved , That this board will abide by
nnd recognlzo the decision of the boaid
jnado upon January 3 , 1S9S , wherein , utter
nn Investigation , It was found that the
dally World-Herald was the paper of larg
est circulation In Douglas county until
the further order of this board.
Mayor 'Moores protested against accepting
any circulation statement mads two years
ago as holding good at present. The law ,
bo said , contemplated the publication ot no
tices In" the paper having the largest cir
culation at the tlmo ot publication nnd It
made no difference whatever what might
Jiavo been the circulation of any paper two
years ago. Mayor Moorcs' vote , however ,
was the only ono recoided against the Herd-
man resolution.
MERCHANDISE SLOT MACHINES.
In wcard to the Inclusion of merchandise
slot machines In the order for their gen
eral suppression the chief ot pollco sub
mitted Instructions which ho had received
from Mayor Moorcs. It had been generally
felt thai an Injustice was done In abolish
ing machines which \\ero merely automatic
.vendors . and In the operation of which the
clement of chancs did not enter. The chief ,
Jn his Interpretation of the order Issued
previously , had Included them In the gen
eral abolition or the machines. The mayor's
Instructions made an exception In thelr re
gard and his view was upheld by the en
dorsement ot the board. The mayor's order
Svaa addressed to Hon. C. V. Gallagher , chief
of police , and was as follows :
I am Informed tlmt you have construed
thd action of thu IJoard of Fire and Pollco
Commissioners nt t'ho last rr.eellnp In ref
erence to "nlckol-In-the-slot" machines ns
including all slot machines which do not
Imvo any element of chance about them
nntl that under such construction you
Imvo Included telephone ) Instruments ,
music boxes and automatic sales boxes
which have slot attachments , but which
deliver each tlmo to t'ne customer a cer
tain definite value , nnd that you have
ordered the police to rqmovc them.
Any slot machine which does not Involve
the element of chance Is a legitimate en
terprise , nnd tbo Hoard of Flro nnd Police
Commissioners lias no more power to order
them removed than It would to order n
business enterprise to run without clerks ,
'Any Interfering with such machines would
certainly render the otllcer so doing liable
for any damage resulting from such illegal
action.
You will therefore direct the pollco to re
move only such , "nlckel-ln-the-slot"
- - - ma-
chlneB as nro gambling devices nnd Into
.which the clement ) of chance enters.
A resolution of endorsement was passed
directing the chief ot pollco not to Interfere
( with any islet machine , In which there ia no
clement of chance.
The quarrel In engine house No. 3 was then
brought up before the board for adjustment.
The- facts disclosed that Lieutenant Frank
Urban had lost his temper regarding the
proper fuel for the company steve and" had
Insulted and areaultod Captain Taylor. IA

ranks , Uio action to take effect at once. F'ivo

I CnpHnl. ;
The Woman's ) club has entertained out-of-
town guests at every meeting this year , but
yesterday It was favored In the presence of
several , ( Mrs. Hchlacndcr , president of the
IJook Review club of Lincoln , made a con
gratulatory speech from the platform and
Mrs. William Fleming of Tabor , la. , and
Mrs. iE. IL. ( Marlln of Fremont responded
gracefully from the floor.
Tlio program for the day was presented
by the department of social science , Mrs.
Ella 1) ) , Pcrlno leader. This department Is
making a study of municipal government
this year , using , with some modifications ,
the outline prepared by IMrs. W. L. O. Tay
lor of the State university. 'Mrs. ' Hchlaender
stated that the course of study In municipal
government In her club hid at first Included
the consideration of the government of Eng
lish and continental cities , and that having
learned what hnd been done and what It
was possible to do , the next concern of the
clars had been to know what the good gov
ernment and the civic clubs In the United
States had accomplished , especially In Phll-
adclphh , Chicago and Denver.
After three years of this study the club
felt moved to put some of Its knowledge Into
practice and the City Improvement society
was organized. This association docs not
define the limits of Its work by a constitu
tion and It holds Itself free to co-operato
with the olllclals In anything they may
undertake for the benefit of the city , seek
ing , meanwhile , a bettor understanding and
appreciation of any movement to that end
that may be contemplated. Mts. RchlacnJcr
slid that the efforts of the committees on
streets and alleys1 , health , bill boards , etc. ,
had been warmly commended by the olllclals ,
notably by the health commissioners , \\4io had
publicly stated that the Insistence of the
women upon general cleanliness , and espe
cially upon the enforcement of the garbage
ordinance , had brought about the best sani
tary conditions Lincoln had over enjoyed. Tue
society stands also for the Improvement ot
school grounds , and a patroness with her as
sistants plants trees , fills window boxes ,
makes flower beds and beautifies In her own
wuy the surroundings of each school building.
OTHER TOPICS.
The other address of the day was by Mrs.
Towne. president of the Visiting Nurr.es' as-
eoclatlon. who described the work of that as
sociation under four divisions , namely : What
ho have tried to do ; what wo have tried to
avoid ; our difficulties , aail our Ideal. Mrs.
Towno spoke ol' the comfort and Instruction
given ; of the effort to give assistance only
where It could not bo otherwise secured ; of
the effort required to provide nurses , medl-
clno and food suitable to the sick , and of
the htoo that a membership of 1,000 would
Eosn. by its annual fees of $1 each , put the
association where there need be no further
anxiety about funds to carry on the work.
The program lacluded two pipers. One by
Mrs. Delden , entitled "Somo Municipal Ex
periments , " described certain methods In use
In European cities which might well bo
adopted elsewhere. The police system ot
Paris and the sewage system of Berlin and
Glasgow were cited s examples. Mrs. Del-
den's picture of a city , clean , beautiful and
convenient , with municipal ownership of gas ,
water and strpct transit , acid withal , with
lower taxes than Omaha enjoys today , made
every woman echo the closing words of the
rpeakor : "May I bo there to see. " The otlior
paper was a resume of the philanthropic
work of the club by Mrs. Hoobler , and It
was a sufficient answer tD the criticism that
Is sometimes made that the club exists for
Itself alone. Mention was made of various
efforts to secure municipal and legislative
action In the direction of reform , of classes
conducted la cooking and other branches and
nf the work at the railroad station main
tained by the club and conducted by Miss
northa Burket.
The program wan opened and closed by
Miss Sadie Bowen , who sang "Florlan's Song"
by Goddard and "Far Away" by Chadwlck.
T. C. Hadlcy , a new comer , was also heard
in the "Torreador's Song" from Carmen. He
has a fine baritone volco and his staging was
very cordially received. He responded to hla
encore by "Marguerite. "

AMUSEMENTS.
That Flo Irwln Is not so well known In
the west 'as her sister , May , 'Is not the re
sult of any artistic Inferiority , but a conse-
sequence of her prolonged absence
from this part of the country.
She was last seen In Omaha half n
dozen years ago , when she and May
together were the. bright rartlcul'ir ' stara
of a farce comedy company which played
"Boys and Girls" at the old Boyd , and which
Included Otis Harlan and others of note.
The two sisters are not unllko In appear
ance and their style is very similar. Some
who object to May's largeness of method
find In Flo a greater dclloicy and refine
ment. Flo has won equal fame with May
tu tlio singing of 'the "coon" songs which
are now so popular , and Is especially well
qualified to take up the title role In "Tho
Widow Jones" whcro her Jolly sister left It
ofr.
ofr.Flo
Flo Irwln will appear In "Tho Widow
Jones" at the CrelRhton , beginning on Taurs-
day cvcnlug of this week. The supporting
company Includes several of the clover people
ple who have been identified with the piece
for the past two sea-jom , Ada Louis MII !
George W. I ! a mum being especially promi
nent.

CARNIVAL NOTES.
Now voting contests for maids of honor to
Queen Polaris are springing up dally In the
towns and cities throughout the state. Hast
ings starts off with fifty candidates. Miss
IMna Cramer anil Miss Margaret I'lckens are
In the lead , both having the Fame number ol
votes. Edyth Payne , Hae Alexander , Mabel
IJalley and Stella Payne are within one ol
each other and they are having a lively tlmo
ot It.
Illalr , out In Washington county , found the
pressure too great , eo Just to please the
ladles It lias started a boom In votes anil
Mls > s Lulu Cameron leads off with 2,535.
How can they catch her ?
Mies Mabel Gray still holds the top of the
list In South Omaha.
Mlnnlo Sharp and Antonla Kessler ol
Plattmnouth nro making a sharp fight for
the honor of being a maid to Queen Polaris.
Jcsslo Purgcr Is leading at Kearney , with
Annie Switz just forty-one votes behind.
Nebraska City has the best and closest
fight outsldo ot this -city. Miss Gwendolyn
Larsh has 1,057 votes end Miss Sarah Ire
land Is right next with 1,055. Miss Ireland's
friends are trying to capture tlio output ol
extra papers for a period of ton days , but
as vet have not succeeded.
Uncle Dick Berlin , who has forgotten more
about skating rinks than Norrls & Love
ever- knew , visited the Lagoon last evening
with a party of friends and was very much
taken back when ho found that the rink thit
ho managed so successfully away back In
Iho " 70s would toe lost In one of the curvcn
of the Mirror. Uncle Dick claims the right
to make the first trip on the toboggan and
says ho will do It standing up. Ills friends
will receive due notice. No flowers !
Mr. Edwin Glorr , who Is In this city rep
resenting the Drummond Tobacco company of
St. Louis , says that his townspeople are
taking great Interest In the Icu carnival of
Queen Polaris and a number of large manu
facturing firms are thinking seriously of
aondlng young ladles as their representatives
to act ns maids of honor to Omaha's Queen.
The question has been asked time and
again : "What style of costume will the
Queen wear ? " As far as the managers arc
concerned she Is tbo boss of the Job and can
cheese whatever she pleases , and they will
pay for It. Her maids will have to mind
their Pfl and Qs , take the best of care of her
and sea that she don't eat too many snow
balls.
The skating clubs hardly realize what they
ere missing'In the way of a good time at
the Lagoon , as the cold snap came in several
weeks before It was expected. There Is aged
god thickness of Ice and room enough for
several thousand to skate. The grounds are
open day and night and when that high to
boggan la finished , which will bo very soon ,
there won't bo any need of a brass band to
make a noise , as the tobogganers will attend
to that.
The Twentieth street gate will be evened
about the time the toboggan slide Is finished
pss'bly ! ' sooner.
