Several things have conspired to bring
about an apparent revival of social activity
during the last week. First , those who have
not yet loft for late vacations or have re
turned from early ones have been driven
to the necessity of killing lime. Second ,
i , there have been rather moro than the usual
' , ' number of guests from other cities , not the
t' least Important among whom have been the
college friends of Omaha young people on
i tholr way to and from outings In all parts
of the country. Then the weddings , the
last functions to cease , have kept bravely
UD. Taken altogether , the week has been
fairly satisfactory midsummer one.
The lawn parties , which nro given when
ever anything Is fjlven , afford an Ingenious
hostess ample opportunity to display her
' decorative talent in new ways , fixing up the
most effective bowers with Chinese lanterns
nnd their appropriate accommodations.

TUB HAGUE , July 20. 3 p. m. The In
ternational Peace conference met for Us
final silting today , when U was announced
that sixteen states bad slgjed the arbitra
tion convention , llftcen the other two con
ventions , seventeen the declaration prohibit
ing the throwing of projectiles or explosives
from balloons , sixteen the declaration pro
hibiting the use of asphyxiating gas nnd fif
teen the declaration prohibiting the use of
expanslvo bullets.
A letter was read from the queen of Hol
land to tbe pope , asking his inoial sup
port of the conference. The pope's reply ,
which was read , promised co-operation and
recalled the fact that ho had many times
performed the function of arbitrator , and
assured lier majesty thai In splto of his
present abnormal position he would
continue to beck the advancement of civili
zation.
Baron de Stael delivered the farewell ,
thanking the reprcbcntatlvea. He said the
work accomplished , while not so complete
as might bo desired , wns sincere , wise nnd
practical. The great principles of the sov
ereignty of Individual states and Interna
tional solidarity , apparently so opposing ,
bad been reconciled by what they had ac-
coraprisbed. Ho affirmed that In time to
como Institutions which had their origin In
the need of accord would bo the dominating
Influence and that thus the work of the
conference was truly meritorious.
Minister Eaturnelles and Dr. lleaufort fol
lowed , the latter haying that If the conference -
once had not realized Utopian dreams , never
theless it baa disproved pessimistic fore
bodings and the moral effect would more
end moro Influence public opinion and aid
governments to eecure the limitation of
armies which etlll remain n source of grave
consideration.
M. Baron do Stael then declared the con
ference closed.

Considerable satisfaction vvna expressed by
business men nnd others jcaterday our the
fact that the Board of Education had finally
selected n site for a school bulldlnc In the
Second ward. Even come of those who sub
mitted bids admitted that the location chosen
was A good one. Delore the vole was taken
on the bids Joseph Ka\an , who had several
sites to sell , stated to the members of the
loard that If n site on Twentieth street was
choVen an Injunction would bo secured , on
the ground that too many saloons were lo
cated near the sites offered. The hoard dlt-
regarded Mr. Knvan's statement nnd cho o
the lots at Twentieth and 0 streets. Inquiry
wns made jcsterday concerning this pro
posed Injunction nnd It was found that most
of the talk came from those who had failed
to sell their sites. In speaking about the
Injunction , President Roberta snld that he
did not think that anything of the kind
would occur. The location , ho owertcd , was
n capital ono and would relieve the pressure
nt the Hawthorne , Brown Park and Central
schools. Bids will be advertised for at onto
for the grading of the lots. U Is thought
that (200 will prepare the ground for the
builder. H Is true that two saloons are lo
cated nt Twentieth nnd 0 streets nnd two at
Twentieth nnd Q streets , but ns the school
site is a block and a half from either of
these corners the objection raised by Ka\an
Is not seriously considered.
In order to make room for the rapidly In
creasing number of school children the
Board of Education has directed that one
room In the bntu-ments of the Highland ,
\Vcat Side , Brown Park and Hawthorne
schools bo suitably nrrnngcd for pupils. The
mission nt Sixteenth nnd M streets will also
bo rented and repaired so that it can bo used
for school purposes. While n majority of
the members of the board dlsltko to send
children to rooms In basements there Is no
other course left open nt this time. In ar
ranging these rooms the nmilteit will pay
particular attention to the heatingnnd ven
tilating In order to protect the hculth of the
pupils as far ns possible.
Superintendent Wolfe sajs that about 2(0 (
ten-Inch scats are needed for the smaller
pupils , as the twelve-Inch scats now In use
are too high. Including the scats needed
for the new Second ward school It Is thought
that before the year ia out fully 1,000 now
seats will be needed. Bids tor suppljlng
these eeats will be advertised for within a
few days.
SvrliiiinliiK In Miiuiltlic
No Item printed In the papers wlthlu the
last few days has caused eo much tnlk here
as the one stating that adventurous bojs
wcro swimming In the big stand pipe at the
stock yards. Older people can hardly real
ize that boys would be so foolish ns to climb
eighty-five feet to swim In an Iron tank. In
speaking of this matter yesterday , W. S
King , chief engineer of the Union Stock
Yards company , said that there was a danger
In this practice which few people had
thought of , and that was the sudden falling
of the water In the reservoir. In the event
of n fire at the yards or the packing houses
wntcr from the stand pipe might bo used ,
and then the swimmers would find them
selves twenty or thirty feet below the top of
the Iron stand pipe. Cooped up in such a
place their cries would never be heard and
the lads would surely drown. Other rea
sons than n fire might cause the withdrawal
o the water , as the pressure at the pump
Ing station might ho relaxed , nnd then the
water would fall below the level it Is
usually kept at. Mr. King suggests that all
parents warn their bojs not to go near the
stand pipe , ns there Is no telling when the
water may be withdrawn. The stock yards
company Is keeping a strict watch on the
stand pipe In order to prevent boys from as
cending the Iron ladder , and If anyone Is
drowned the company can hardly be blamed
after the publicity which has been given to
the mattei- .
Councilman Kltlf'N Uixlnfoctnitt.
Councilman Fltle , who Is chairman of the
committee on police , Is belnir censured In
some circles tor having purchased half a
barrel twenty-five gallons of disinfectant
for use at the city Jail. Something of the
sort is needed at the Jail and for a time
chloride of lime was used. This , however ,
did not prove satisfactory , and Chief Car
roll urged that hometblng else be bought.
A sample ot the disinfectant which was
purchased was given a trial and proved much
more satisfactory than the lime. When It
came to making a deal , Fitle found that
the price was J2.50 a gallon If purchased
In single gallons , but by the half barrel the
cost would be 11.75 a gallon. A half bar
rel at a cost of $37.50 was ordered and Is
now being used. Inquiry at the Jail elicited
the Information that about five quarts of
the stun la used every week. It can there
fore be readily seen that Title has not laid
in any great quantity of the disinfectant , as
at the most the supply will last only about
twenty weeks. Mr. Fltle ifcels that ho has
been unjustly criticised In this matter and
deMres to set himself right before the
public.

Another suit to question ttho validity of
the Twenty-fourth street paving tax has
been commenced by a number of property
owners. As the tlrst suit , brought by E.
Stcnger and others , was decided against the
city and the tax declared Illegal , It Is
thought that a majority of the owners of
property on this street will bring suits In
order to secure exemption from the pay
ment of this paving tax This tax was as
