New York , which has been the seat of the headquarters of the Tclocvlcna Jednota Bokol during the last four years , was chosin again for the coming llvo years. This selec tion was one of the concluding nets of the national convention of the society , which has been In session Iti this city for three days. An adjournment sine dlo was taken last night at 10 o'clock. New York was not chosen , however , until at the conclusion of an animated fight be tween the east and the west. Cedar Rapids nnd Omaha were both after the prize. R. V. Mlsltovsky led the fight for this city. Omaha would have won had the St. Louis delegates thrown In their votes with the rest of the west. When It was seen that Omaha could not get the prlzo Its strength was thrown to Cedar Rapids , but New York finally was chosen by the slight majority of flvo votes. St. Louis again refused to cast Its votes with the rest of the west. The headquarters will consequently IMS In Now Yoik for the coming flvo years , for the con- ventlon fixed 1003 as the date for the next national meeting. This extends the In terval between conventions from four to llvo years. Milwaukee was chosen as the place of meeting. Fred Martini of New York was "lected ns the national sokol chief. Ills aids arc Joseph Stlbr of Cleveland and Fred I'ngle- thalcr of Cedar Rapids. Rudolph Havclka of this olty was offered this latter olllce In the western division , but ho declined the honor. The following was elected as the com mittee to have charge of the normal school for Instructors to bo established In Chicago' Joseph Cermnk , Dr. Stullk and Joseph Pccl- vnl , all of Chicago. A motion was made to add n. sick bene ficiary department to the society , but this was tabled. Resolutions were passed thankIng - Ing the Pokrok Zapadu for Its courtesies nnd the local committee for the arrange ments It had made for the convention. Thcso matters consumed a largo part of the final session of the body yesterday aft ernoon and evening. The remainder of the tlmo was spent In listening to the reading of the rules nnd regulations ns they have been amended. They worn passed In a lump. At yesterday morning's session It was de cided to hold the next national tournament In Cleveland In 1900. The tournament of the middle division will bo held at St. Louis In 1001 , the tournament of the eastern division at Baltimore In 1902 and the tourna ment of the western division , In which Ne braska Is located , In 1903 at Cedar Rapids. A radical 11101 o was made In the estab lishment of a sort of beneficiary department for the benefit of the active turners. A law was adopted according to which every nctlvo turner who Is Injured In the course of the eokol work -A111 receive $1 .10 a day until he recovers/ If ho Is Injured permanently ho will heiresented with n benefit rnleed through ) ( 25-ccnt assessment upon every member' n the society. At present the ben efit v ould amount to nearly $1,000. - lUjwas determined to pay the traveling ox /enscs / of the delegates to the national inventions. A fund for this purpose will bo raised by levying yearly a 10-ccnt as- f8essmcnt upon every member In the society. For every society which has a membership of 100 or less the expenses of ono delegate will bo paid , for every society with more than 100 members the expenses of two dele gates will bo paid. This action was taken because the sokols In some of 1ho smaller towns have such a small membership that they cannot aftord themselves to pay the expenses of their representatives. In this manner a full representation can bo se cured at every convention. The first assess ment will bo levied In 1900 so that enough money to pay all these expenses of delegates . , . , can bo raised by 1903. -f Special premiums will bo given yearly to every sokol 'that ' maintains children's | classes throughout the year as follows1 For J a class of between 25 and CO , $10 ; for a , class between DO and 100 , $20 ; for n class above 100 , $33. At 9 o'clock this morning such of the delegates as desire will meet at Mctz hall nnd will be elvcn a trolley ride about the city. Most of the delegates will leave dur- f i Inghb course of the day. v | COMING FROM MINNESOTA Jniiriinl'M Kxournlnn to ( ho nxpONltloit AV1II Gft lu Thin A party of over 100 men and women from ( ho northwest will arrive In Omaha this morning at 8 30 under the name of "Tho Minneapolis Journal's Popular Excursion No. 27.

PROF , WM , P , STEWART IS AT THE HELM Imminent Aetiinrj mill Vutlior t'on- ilnclliiK Sellout of Instruction I'n- ilrr At - < | ilccx of 1'lrtiiliiK llro * , , Cominii'rt ( icneiul Accent * . It Is the general and the right thing for co-workers In nil the departments of labor , physical nnd Intellectual , to associate for mutual education and advancement , ami It Is regarded as only to be expected that the bright minds and active energies that enter Into the service of life insurance should seek the like alllllntiou and advantage. It Is u fnu , nowcvcr , that the various associations of plofos'ilonul men and artisans that chal lenge public attention by their annual con ferences all lack the o > e gicat feature that singles out and rt" u.rt unique the confer ence now being I. eld In Omaha , beglnnlnr Thursday morning , uf the agents of thp Mutual Lifo Insurance company of New York , under the auspjces of Messrs. Flem ing Bros , the company s general agents for Iowa and Nebraska , at their headquarters for this section In the Flrat N'atlciuil bunk building. This special featurp IB the present Instance Is found in the presence of Prof. William P. Stewart , the emlncir actual > , as preceptor and Instructor. For very many years It has been the practice of the great company , known the world around as the Mutual Life Insurance com pany of New York , Mr. Richard \ . JIc- Curdy , pirsldcnt , to encourage Its iguits In the dlicctlou of studj. It has always been the aim of thla great company , not Ou.y to bo standard In every phase of Insurance un dertaking , but lu 'hi * also of company dig nity and presentation. It Is a well Known fact that Pre > 'en' McCuidy , than w.u.n there Is no iimuum.c official held to be ( if broader qualifications , devotes all his tlmo and energy to the more and more symmet rical moulding of the Mutual Life , and that his one aspiration is to mules it stand forth as one of those great , luminous revela tions of American character that make for national prldo and patriotism. In this as piration ho Is Joined , In their several olll- clal relations by some of the brightest mlndj In American llteratuie , art , science and law , nnd of these there has con e to bo recog nized , for his devotion 10 uil phases of edu cation , the eminent gentleman whobe visit to Omaha has already been noticed In these columns , Prof. William P. Stewart of New- York. For over a quarter of a century Prof. Stewart IMS conducted schools of Instruction and education leagues among life workers. Ho Is the father of the undertaking to In struct the Life Insurance agent ; ho pub lished the first plain tracts by means of which the mathematical subtleties of Life Insurance wer" made plain to the lay mind. Ho Is the father of the present applied sur vivorship principle of life insurance and of the principle Involved In nil plans of re serve distribution. Ills publications were tbt first to outline nnd present the possibili ties of Investment Insurance. In every phase of the business of life Insurance the pro fessor's mark has been Indelibly applied , and In nothing so remarkably , persistently and far-reaching as In the effort to place the field worker on the plane of a professional dignity nnd qualification In keeping with the Importance and beneficent character of his work. So far this has been the accomplish ment and Inspiration of a single Individual in Identity with a single company. Tempted iiy the professor's success , other Individuals tiave essayed his role and other companies convened their agents for the llko purpose , even going to the extent of defraying the Expense of their nssemblement , but with no other Individual and with no no other company has there grown to be that success which entitles to public consideration as a permanency or a system. In the case of the Mutual Lifo the agents are given the option to meet the professor , when his engage ments will serve , but they do It at their own expense or ns the guests of the gensral agents , and do It gladly and as the best pos sible Investment of their means nnd time because of the veneration they have for the professor's character and ability and of the fact that they nro always a life-long gainer In still an added clement of brain power with every meeting with their great pre ceptor. Such undertakings and such person alities deserve public recognition nnd en couragement because they stand for more than the details of a business or the adver tisement of a particular company. The subject of Prof. Stewart's lecture Thursday morning was the "Principles and Practices of Life Insurance , " as fundamen tally applied , and as Interpolated by the various companies and plans In competition. There were some sixty students present Including perhaps a dozen or fifteen ladles. The WOIUIUI'M Ilcinrtmeiit. In the afternoon the professor gave the lady agents a special drill In those phases of their calling which apply only to their own seThis was a very interesting nnd ad vantageous session nnd will result In much good to the special represcntatl > es of the woman's department who were present. This department , It may bo added , Is ono of growing Importance and Is prospering finely. Not only did the ladles enjoy this special Instruction for their own particular benefit. in a business way , but they perhaps enjoyed oven moro the little banquet especially pre pared for them at the Hotel Mlllard in the evening , and nt which there were but three representatives of the sterner sex who wore privileged to bo present. The gentlemen who enjoyed this particular distinction were Prof. Stewart himself , whoso ready wit Is continuance of interest ever sure to produce a terest frcm first to last , and Messrs. Robert J. Fleming nnd John A. Fleming of Flem Ing Bros. , managers of the Mutual Life for Iowa and Nebraska. While this little ban quet was n sort of an Impromptu affair. It was no less ono of the important events of the Mutual Life workers' convention for the w cek. Today the convention will bo general again , adjourning at 1 o'clock to give the agents another opportunity to see the ex position. There will also bo a Saturday morning nnd afternoon session. This evening a banquet will bo tendered at the Hotel Mlllard to the visiting gentle men agents , In honor of Prof. Stewart. MRS.
