While all the rest of Omaha enjoyed a
quiet holiday on account of memorial exer
cises, at ltust 100 children bad a whele
day of unalloyed happiness from early
morning until dark, In blissful disregard of
dead herofH nnd everything else rave their
own supreme delight. Thtse were the girls
and boys, street urchins, newsboys and
bootblacks, ranging In ago from 5 to IB
years, that make up the Sunday achcol on.l
Industrial classes at tho Tenth Street City
Mission. They were taken for a picnic to
Pries lake.
For weeks the children had lived In anti
cipation of this pl-n'.c, tho only require
ments being incmbeishlp In ths mission
classes nnd nt least five weeks' regular at
tendance at Sunday school, und a nco M si
Magce, In charge of the million, fixed Me
morial day ns tho dale, there had been n
full attendance and some Increase In tho
claraes. Wednenhy aftcrncon tho ical
preparation began, when, attracted by the
arrival of the liberal contributions to the
luncheon donated by friends,, a swarm of
boys gathered about tho mlsjlon nnd wns
set to work rolling lemons preparatory to
the squeezing, their dUcusslon n they
worked proving plainly to what extent
they had anticipated the morrow's pleasure
nnd In many cases utter unfnmillarity witn
such excursions.
Determined that nono should be dliap
pointed, Miss Magce had ascertained Iho
necessity of each child and provided lor tt
and la'.o In the afternoon many of tho
children called at the mission and wore
fitted out In tho necessary clothing but for
which many would hae been unable to
attend.
They Come Early.
Though 7:30 o'clock was the time an
nounced for tho start, 6:30 found n goad
proportion of tho young picnickers gathered
nt tho mission, nnd as 6ns by ono the
teachers arrived tbo entire party dnshid up
Tenth street to meet them and Inqulrs
when tho wagon was coming.
.Seldom If ever has a moro pictur.squj
or Interesting group been gutherol in

wan tho chief theme of conversation, while
tho girls Inspected one another's "best

would bo allowed to assist In the "dishing"
and "tasslng" of the lunch packed In the
boxes.
Uy 7:15 o'clrck eviry chl'.d was icaly
iud waiting nono too patiently for tho
wagons, and In the interval the tsatheta
were diligent to prevent disorder between
tool.' charges and the band or ragged, dlr.y
urchins that gathered on the ou skirts of
tho crowd, shouting tantalizing thlugs in
their effort to conceal their envy and ap
pear Indifferent to the Indisputable advant
ngo of belonging to the ml.slon.

At this Juncture one of the wagons hove
In sight around the corner of Tenth striet
and Capitol avenue and away went the
children, falling over one another In their
eagerness to secure a plscj, and by the
tlmo it was backed up to the curb there
waun't room for another boy, ev?n cn the

loaded In after tbem.
Mlna Mwgee took charge ot the boys, the
other teachers (ound places In tho other
wagons and when all was finally ready the
party started off shouting, laughing, scream
ing nnd singing. Up Capitol aveuuo and
out Sixteenth street they went, still singing;
out tho Boulevard and up to Thirtieth
street, nnd by that tlmo the novelty of
riding had somewhat worn off for the boys
nnd they scampered ahead, taking turai
hanging to the other wagons, pulling one
another oft and rolling or sprawling head
long In tho deep dust, raiding every rose
bush enroute, regardless of the 'protests of
tho teachers, until at last TtIcs' Ihke was
reached.

up the road they ran, shouting nnd scream

the teachers camo up tha boats, which wcro
drawn up on the shore,, were tilled and a
doron boys and girls had got their feet wet
and tbelr clothing splashed with water,

It was fully a halt hour before they could
bo driven away from the dam, but when
they wero convinced that thero would be' no
boat-riding until after dinner the girls
scattered among the trees and tbo boys lo
cated a clearing nnd proceeded with tne.
long-nntlclpated ball gnme. The "oung
Omahns." tho pride of tho mission, were
especially proud of themselves In their
bright sweaters lettered "Y. O." across the
breast, aud, plttylng their unorganized ami
ununlformcd opponents, they magnani
mously divided their strength, playing half
In hnlf with tho "Colored Kld."
Tho gnme was begun promisingly, but had
uot proceeded far when n dispute nroso nnd
nil broke up.
The npproach of the dinner hour brought
the entire party back to tho tables, where
preparation for tho lunch was In progress,
and tho attention of tho teachers was occu
pied In keeping the hungry urchins from
taking tho oranges and bananas that were
hidden under a table. If wns not until the

When tho luncheon was over tho games

.Men Wear, Women' Clothlnsr.
The men aro as fantastically garbed .as
the women and a rc;.'..:.?.ablo fact Is that
many of them wenr women's clothes. A
fat patriarch with a long black beard,
who said his name was Orcgora, appeared
In a salmon-pink tea Jacket, evidently tho
product of some industrious begging on
tho pnrt ot his wife. Another swarthy
tartar wore In lieu of a coat what ap
peared to have been thn waist of a ball
gown, cut very low at the neck and with
short sleeves. It ws sntln brocade ns to
texture and the gores had been ripped up
from the waist line to facilitate breath
ing. It would have become him better had
It not been for tho thick coat ot matted
hair upon his breast.
Tho king of the camp Is Yoan, a soggy,
"beefy" tyne of tho Rusnlan race, with a
beard longer and blacker than Oregora's.
Ho wore a quilted rape, trimmed about tho
edges with silver bells as largo ns sleigh
bells.
o l.aeli of Children.
The children wero In great number, dirty
and clamorous .for alms. Several little
boys of from J2 to 1 appeared naked,
save for women's skirts pinned about their
waists nnd hanging to the ground. Tho
spectacle of these tripping about tho camp.
holding up thoir skirts to avoid stepping on
them was nlone worth tho price of trans
portation across tho bridge. Twenty or
moro of these, children did what they snld
wns the Russian dance, but the dnnce de
generated Into a free-for-all fight when
persons In the crowd ot spectators tossed
pennies among them. The trailing skirts
of the boys suffered In this scrimmage for
coins and when It was over the sight sug
gested one of the photographs illustrative
of Frank G. Carpenter s sketches of na
tive life on the Bag-Bag.

The building, which Is of pine, covering

of the knights nnd the partly constructed
floats to bo used In the parade next fall, In
addition to the machinery nnd spcctncular
scenes used In tho Initiations of candidates.
Tho Inrgfr pnrt of this materlnl Is highly
Inflammable nnd tt hns been predicted on
all sides that onco nn fire It would bo Itn
possible to save tho structure. This was
the opinion of tho fire department nnd
when an nlarm giving the locntlon of the
fire ns tho Coliseum was turned in every
available company In the city wns hurried
to the scene. Tho first to nrrlvc was com-
pnny No. C, nnd these men had the flames
extinguished before any of tho other com'
panles arrived. For some time afterward
the combined department worked to quench
the hmoulderlng fire, which had penetrated
between the siding and the celling.

NO DUST AT THE CONCERTS
Pavilion Ground to He Hallaated with
Sherman Gravel nnd Made
Perfect.
Whatever else may happen visitors at the
Bellstedt band concerts will experience no
annoyance from dust or dampness. Tne
festival eommlttro announces' that by an
arrangement with the Union Pacific rail
road the celebrated Sherman gravel, the
same as laid on the main line of that road,
will be placed on tho grounds at Fifteenth
and Capitol avenue. Tbo great boon this
will confer to persons in attendauco at the
concerts cannot be over-estimated. To
understand It moro fully it should ho ex
plained that Sherman grav)l Is a dIMnte
grated granite, taken from a range of
mountain! between K,000 and 9.000 feet eln
vatlon. U has beeu chemically prepared
by the great fires of nature in pre-hlstorlo
days, so as to gradually weld together with
all the flexibility of asphalt and the dura
bility of granite. Wherever, this granite Is
iibod dust disappears. A most striking
characteristic Is that tbo gravel Is porous
and water therefore cannot collect on Its
surface. It Is a natural absorbent, there
fore there will bo complete Immunity from
damp feet at the concerts, no matter how
heavy the rainstorms may be. It should
appeal to visitors on account of the fact
that It can only be found In the west, at
Sherman Hill, and Is superior tn any ba-
Spanish peasant, with which everjonj in
the audience sympathised. Lucas Mondaz,
tho transformed muleteer, as given by
Frederick Watson left little to be desired
In the presentation, and the rest ot the
cast was In keeping. "Carnlen" suffers
little at the hands of the company which
will render It In Omaha until Sunday even

HYMENEAL.
i.larke-Moalton.
ASHLAND. Neb., May 30. (Special.)
Arthur Clarke and Miss Minnie Moulton
of Denver were married at the home of tho
groom's parents this morning at fi o'clock.
Mr. Clarke Is the son nf Colonel J. K.
There la likely to bo lively competition
In tho bidding for tho proposed High
school. An advertisement for bids Is now
being published and bids will bo received
by Chnlrmnu Ficenec ot the buildings and
grounds committee up to 8 p. in. Friday,
Juno 7.
Three propositions aro submitted to con
tractors. Tho flrBt Is for eleven school
rooms, with closets, etc., without assembly
hall. Tho second Is for eleven rooms with
an assembly hnll. The third Is for n com
pletcd building ot twenty-two rooms. All
bids submitted must be accompanied by a
certified check for $E00, made payable to
tho school district. Contractors desiring
full details may securo them by calling
upon tho board's architect, A. L. Davis, nt
his rooms In tho Murphy block. The board
reserves the right to reject any or nil bldf
An estimate has been mado which shows
that tho proposed sttucture will cost in the
neighborhood of $5,000 per room.
The action of Treasurer Koutsky In call
ing $90,000 In school warrants has, It Is
stated, rather disarranged thn plans of tho
school board In regard 19 making Improve
menta to buildings and the erection or 11
High school.
On the streets thero Is some tnlk of
taking legal steps to prevent the board
from letting contracts for the erection ot
tho High school, for the reason that there
is no money In sight. This talk comes, it Is
stated, mostly from those who were opposed
to the selection of tho Hoctor site. The
district has purchased the ground and if
tho board Is prevented from eroctlng even
n ward school on the slto bv those who
aro opposed to the members of the present
board there will bo fomethlng dolnc for
sure, ns the fight Is purely political. At
leant this Is what the members of the
board say. There Is need of more school
room In the district tributary to tho present
Central school, but of course it remains
with tho proplo to say whether the building
to be erected shall be a ward srhool or a
High school.
A member of the board said last evening
that If anyone who Is opposed to the erec
tion of a High school on tho ground of lack
of finances would toko the trouble to look
Into tho matter It would be found that ways
and means have been found for the erecthn
of the building without nsklug the people
to issue bonds for the purpos;.
Fire Department Records.
Records at the office of the chief of the
flro department show that for tho twelve
months ending April 30, 1901, the paid de
partment of tho city has answered to 102
alarms.
Tho total value of property Involved In
firei was $94,700, while the Insurance on
property on which claim for loss was made
amounted to $43,825. Losb on buildings nnd
contents in which fires originated wni
$10,100 And tbn loss cn hulldlngR and con
tents In which fires did not originate
amounted to $1325, making n total Insur
ance los of $11,435.
At present the clly owns three hose
wagons, but only two nre In service. There
lr 1,600 feet of rubber hose In good condl
tlon nnd 800 feet In fair condition. Six
horses nro owned by tho department, nl
though only four nre renllv fit for service.
With the opening of flro hnll No. ,1 three
additional men will be needed nnd It is
expected the mayor will make appointments
In a few days.
I'nylntr Wiirrnnt Slowly.
Last week City Treasurer Koutsky Issued
a cell for city nnd school warrants amount-
Ing to $lt(i,000. Tho call for school war
rants amounted to $90,000, tho balance l?
Ing city paper. Up to yesterday tho treas
urer had redeemed only $57,752.49 In school
warrants, leaving over $30,000 stilt outstand
ing. These warrants have not drawn Inter
est since last Saturday. Of tho city wnr
rants $22,703.92 has been paid, making n
total payment of $80,4613.41 since tho call.

.Memorial Day,
Tha program a$ outlined by the Grand
Army and the Woman's Relief corps was
carried out yesterday. A delegation vislteJ
Lnurol Hill cemotery with (lowers and flags
and the graves of all soldiers theie wero
decorated. Special services were at the
grave of Dr. J. M. Glasgow. Early In ths
morning committees visited tho other ceme
teries and decorated graves of veterans.
There' was the usual display of bunting
and flags nnd most of the buslnfM houses
closed at noon. The city offices And b.inks
were rlosed All day At the stock yard
business wns trnnsncted ns usual, but
nenrly everyone hurried through so ns to
hAve a hnlf holiday.
I.lhmr) Mtr.
As was to he expected there Is going to be
a radical difference of opinion In regard ta
the selection of n silo for the proposed Car-
ucgle library. Naturally those residing
south of N street Incline to the opinion that
the building should be p'aced In n thickly
settled portion of the city and not adjoin
ing the High school, ns has been suggested,
Several good sites can. It le stated, be se
cured for n reasonable sum south of N
street, while First ward property Is held at
quite n high figure. It looks ns It the old
fight against the First wnrd was to bo re
sumed and those who have the selection of
a site will find it 11 hard mntter to please
everybody.
