After accepting the position of tonstrnm
trr Mr. Ourley, with fitting remarks, In
troduced Hon. Halph W. Ilrcekenrldge, who
responded to tho tonst, "Our Honored
Quest." .Mr. Ilreckenrldge spoke of tho
first time ho saw Oeneral Lee. It whs In
1887, In the city of 1'hlludelphla, when as
governor of the state of Virginia Oeneral
l.ee attended a reunion In the city of Broth
erly Love.
He sold that the whole nation Joined In
doing honor to the name of Lee, regardless
of tho fact of his taking up arms for tho
louth, for the Lees fought for what they
believed right. Tho spenker referred to the
work of the guest of honor In the dark
days preceding the Spanish war and felici
tated the guests on the fact that the Span
ish war had demolished the feeling between
tho north and south. He paid glowing
tribute to the character of Fltzhugh Leo
nrt closed by proposing long life and
health to him.
Tnnchen Ilic Fcellngi uf til,
Oeneral Lee In response made a speec'i
In which ho touched tho feelings of every
man present. He said that tho only man
of his iiciiialntauci! In the city when he
esmo to Omaha was Dr. George L. Miller,
nhom ho had met on I ho board of visitors
lit West Point. He spoko feelingly of his
reception by the citizens of Omaha. He
frrrlng to the position of tho soldiers of the
north and south the general told a story of
a negro servant of a confederate officer
who slept In the tent with his muster and
when he blow out the candlo ho would re
mark. "Wo are nil of the same color,
now," and added that so far as tho fed
erals and confederates are concerned, "We
are all of tho same color now so far as
the United Stales and Its Interests aro
concerned."
The general's remarks were replete .with
wit. humor and common sense. Ho paid
glowing tribute to the state of Virginia,
his native state, and to tho sons of that
great commonwealth, to Washington, Mar
shall nnd Henry, to Jefferson, Madison and
"Llghthorso Harry" Lee. He eulogized
John Adams of Massachusetts and Henja
lnln Franklin, saying that posterity had
hardly done honor to Franklin, who was
quite a ''highflyer" In his days, but who
did as much ns, If not more, than (Jeorge
Washington to scriiro tho freedom of tho
united colonies. Alexander Hamilton was
ilso the recipient of much pratsc.
KnnlniHl' Frlrmll)' Action.
Ho reforred to tho friendly action of the
Kngllsh In Cuba during tho Spanish war.
He drew a strong parallel between Wash
ington and tho federal officers who fol
lowed tho fate of the confederacy, saying
that the father of his country found It
necessary to change his tlag In order to
maintain his personal Integrity. Ho then
raid that north and south, east and west.
Iho people recognized today a union one
ind Inseparable and that the civil war
would have been nverted If the original
constitution had prohibited the secession or
the states. Hut ho said that the people of
Iho southern stales were firmly convlnrrd of
tho Justice of their enure. He closed by
aylng that the south to n man Joined In
wishing McKlnley, who today was for a
second time Inaugurated president, a sue-
rcsnful reign and that tho people now
dwelt In peace and love and Joy and unity.
The country Is in a new era. tnld the
speaker. A colonial policy Is for tho llrst
time being tried. -The ship rocked from '61
to '65. The winds went down behind tho
cloud and the ship of ntato was more
glorious than over. She rlden these today
and will continue to ride them as long ns
e nro true to the constitution and the tra
ditions of tho republic.
Following (lenerol Lee's speech the
veteran, Jules Lumbard, Fang Iho solo,
"Cuba," which was written In honor of an
event In which Oeneral Fltzhugh Lee par
llclpated. The voice of Mr. Lumbard re
reived Its usual encore and then, assisted
by Mr. Davis, ho song, "LorLoard Watch.'
Following the song tho touBtmnster In
troduced John N'. Drydcn of Kearney, who
lesponded to the toast "Patriotism vs,
Commercialism." The speaker Is accounted
one of the wittiest and brightest aftcr
dlnncr speakers of tho state, and In his
speech he lost nothing of hi reputation, Ho
touched on everything, from the solution
of the Philippine question to the election
of a senator from the state of Nebraska,
and elicited uproarious applause at every
point.
O. M. I-ombertson responded to the toast
"Our Mission In Cuba." Mr. Lambcrtson
said that the war of Cuban Independence
was forced upon the country by the peoplo
regardless of party; that the recognition
of the Cuban Insurgent government was
made Impossible by tho report of Oeneral
Lee. He then referred to the mission of
tho t'nltcd States in Cuba, nnd said It Is
to stay. In support of this contention he
referred to tho fact that from 1S23 every
American statceman who had Investigated
tho subject had lecn of the opinion that
tho United States rhould own the Gem of the
Antlllei. Ho stated that the cost of the
war of Cuban Independence could not bo
paid by the cession of that Island. It was
our soldiers who drove Spain out nf Cuba,
nnd for that reason this government has a
right to dictate the form of government
to obtain upon the Island. He bitterly at
tacked the declaration of congress that
Cuba of a right ought to be free, and said
that declaration should not stnnd In the
wny of the ImmoJIate and final acquisition
of tho Islnnd.
Urimlli of tlir llcimlille,
"The Nation's Growth was the subject
of John L. WebstPr. who delivered a brief
talk upon tho growth of the republic, touch
ing upon the development of the na'lon
through wars There Is a higher spirit of
patriotism today than In 1SC0. Then there,
was sectionalism; today there Is union.
Then tho people were divided; today they
stnnil as one man In defense of Ihc flag
nnd tho nntlon. One hundred nnd twenty
five years of constitutional government In
America has done more for civilisation than
has 1.900 years of government In Knglond.
All of this growth has tome out of the
sentiment of personal liberty.
"Tho Ilulldlng of a Stale" was the theme
of Itcv. II. F. Tiefz. .Mr. Trcfz spoke
briefly on the subject, saying that It has
always been tho destiny of the nation to
raise men equal to every emergency; that
Iho seeds of liberty were sown In the blood
of the ICngllsh barons of the thirteenth
century and found flower In their trans
ported sons. Nations become strong ns
they are Isolated and In the course of time
go out to dominate tin. world. The Indi

on Is as sacred as the promise of God

Then, led by Jules Lumbard. the assem

tton. J. C. Dennett, the man who was arretted
some time ago charged with passing forged
necKs, waived preliminary hearing lc-
foro Judgo Lenrn today and was bound over
to the district court In the sum of $.'00.
The most Important witnesses for the
state will he John Tlcrney. tho TrocncWo
saloon man, and attaches of the Grand ho
tel at Council Illuffs. These were among
tho people whom Dennett fleeced out of
money while traveling a swift pace In
Omaha nnd spending money as freely as
water.
Dennett has never made any statement
b to the lino of defense ho proposes to
employ. He has not yet engaged the scrv-
ccs of nn attorney. He has confided In
no ono tho namcH of his relatives. To an
nicer Dennett stated that he expected to
hear from his people In the enst and1 was
t first disconcerted when no jnswer came
o tho letters and telegrams he forwarded
them, telling of his predicament. Later he
received the Information that they had
moved from Philadelphia, where he stated
they had formerly lived, nnd ho Is now
awaiting reply to recent letters sent to
tho new nddrcss. Decauso of tho fact that
Dennett Is so nnxlously awaiting the re
ceipt of letters from the enst It Is prc-
umed I tint he expects tho assistanco of
relatives.
One of the witnesses for tho state. John
Tlcrney. Is much embittered at the
rcatment accorded him by Dennett. He
ashed a check for Dennett In the amount
f V0 and It afterwards proved to bo worth-
ess. Tlcrney Bald this afternoon: "I am
Inclined to believe that the delay Dennett
has gained by waiving preliminary exam
ination Is due to his anxiety to receive as
sistance from Ills peoplo In the cost. An
nut-nnd-out enso of obtaining money under
,ilso pretenses and forgery can bo proved
ngaliiHt him nnd I don't care If he should
offer mo n great deal more than tho money
he bilked me out of I would not consent
o have this prosecution dropped. I In-
end to leave no stono unturned to land
this follow In the penitentiary nnd the
other men he victimized seem to be of the
samo opinion."

The question of revising the course of
Htudy In the Omahn schools was brought
before the Hoard of Education at Its meet
lug last night apd was again delayed for
two weeks.
Member J. J. Smith called up the mat
ter by asking that the resolution Intro
duced by him two weeks ago be considered,
This resolution provides that the commit
tee on text books nnd course of study shnll
revise the course of study with the as
sistance of the superintendent, principals
and teachers. It also provides that ft report
shall be made to the Hoard of Education
not later than June 1.
In support of his resolution Mr. Smith
stated that It Is a matter of common talk
that the High school course Is too difficult
and that pupils cannot secure sufficient
preparation In tho grades to enable them
to carry on the higher work without grent
effort. Attention wns called to the re
marks of Dr. F. F. TcbI nnd Dr. J. C.
Moore, two former members of the board,
who stated shortly before hair retirement
that tho High school course Is a great tax
on the nervous system of young pupils.
Course ChniiKcd Completely.
Superintendent Pearro wns called upon for
nn opinion nnd stated that the course of
study has been changed completely wllhlr.
tho last few years and that during the five
years of his work In the Omaha schools
there has been considerable revision. Ho
stated that the work Is not as heavy as Ij
required In many cities, In Kansas City.
Mr. Pearse snld. the course of study Is more
advanced and greater effort Is required on
the part of pupils.
The agitation concerning the severity of
the High school course was denounced by
Member W. F. Johnson as nonsense. He
said that It Is Impossible for pupils lu
carry on tho work without earnest effort,
but Insisted that n course must be dlfflcult
to secure the best results.
A majority of the members expressed n
desire to have a revision In cose It Is
thought necessary, but there Is a difference
of opinion ns to how nn Investigation of the
course shall he made. Action on Mr. Smith's
resolution was postponed.
Mm nun I TrnlnliiK nml limit Iiik.
A resolution appropriating $30, to be used
In making a display of manual training and
drawing work at the Industrial exhibit, to
be given for the benefit or thn Auditorium,
received seven voles. This wns n majority
of the members who attended the meeting,
but the statutes of tho state require that
expenditures of money by n school board
shall bo approved by a majority of all thn
members.
Mr. Funkhouscr, who presided at tin
meeting In the absence of President ilay
vard, expressed the opinion that a special
meeting will bo called for the purpose ot
passing this resolution.
Superintendent Pearse reported that the
returns show that tho average dally at
tendance during the last two weeks wa
15.730, or on Increase of 276 over that for
tho corresponding period of 1000. The In
crease Is less than It was earlier In the
year and this Is accounted for by the fear ot
contagious dlsenses. Nineteen rooms nnd
an average attendance of less than thlrty
flvc and five rooms had an nttendnnco of
more than fifty-five.
Secretary Durgess was Instructed to se
cure bids for furnishing electric power for

The auditorium of the First Congrega
tional chuiVh was filled yesterday ufter
noon with members of the Omaha Wo
man's club nnd as many more women, at
tracted by the program of tho aftoroon,
which was furnished by thu household
economics department of the club. Flfty
nlnc of the visitors were admitted as guests
of members, but there were many more ad
mitted upon tho admission fco privilege
extonded for the afternoon.
A report was given by Mrs. Damon o' a
committee nppolnted some time ago to In
vestigate what could be done to abolish the
Indecent show nllls posted about tho city.
Tho committee, finding that there Is tin
city ordinance to prevent this londltlon of
things, recommended thnt tho Omaha Wo
man's club petition the city council to pass
nn nrdliianco to prevent such things In
Iho future and that tho attention of tho
council bo called to the lack of enforce
ment of ordlnanco 3113. Tho recommendu
tlnn wag adopted by tho club, with tho
amendment that the present commltteo be
retained to preparo n petition nnd attend
to bringing it before the council.
Tho leader of the current topltH lepurt
ment called to the attention of the club
a matter that had come up In the depart
ment at Its last meeting, the concentrated
work of tho Chicago Womnn's club and Its
splendid results, and offered a resolution
that n commltteo of flvo be nppolntrd by
the chair to formulato some definite plan
of benevolent or philanthropic work for
the club to follow during tho coming year.
After considerable discussion the' motion
was adopted. As a means of securing to
the club nnd Its Individual members sev
eral exceptionally fine reviews, which havo
been prepared for various occasions by Miss
Falrbrothcr she wns asked to have theso
articles published In such n form that they
may be purchased by those who care to
have them. No action was token on tho
matter, as the cost of such publication had
not been ascertained. This, however, will
bo investigated, ob the suggestion met with
tho approval of all.
The sympathy of tho club for Mn.
Straw n In her bereavement lu the deoth of
hrr husbon'd, Judge Wlnlleld S. Strawn.
wns expressed by the entire ussembly. e
nn action was takeu at the lost nieotln;
regarding tho members coining In late and
so disturbing the meeting, tho directory of
tho club recommended that the west dnor
be locked promptly at 3 o'clock and that
after that time the members should be ad
mitted only at the main entrance of the
church. While this does not entirely over
come the evil. It will at least distribute
the annoyance among the three sides of tho
audience. Tho suggestion was adopted.
After a brief Intermission tho afternoon
program was taken up, Mrs. C. W. Town
send presiding. The department had de
cided to make up Its program of the work
that'll Ih doing In its regular meetings
