Last night In adjourned session tho cltr council authorized the clerk to advertise lor bids (or ISO.SJO of city bonds, This action wns takrn after n ill.icuai.lon which caused merriment to there present and re sulted In Acting Mayer Adkins hnvlng to call tho members to order ecvcral times. Bonds to take up special assessment dli- trlcts, which have been held Illegal, to the amount of $3.",344.15, were authorized. Sdc- clal bonds for paving districts, J17.151.I5j grading districts, $,799.82; curbing, $2,836.41, making a total Issue of J2l.536.7l. This last set of bonds are not to cover din- trlcts which hnvo been litigated, but are to take up bond maturjng on October 1. Councilman Ed Johnston and Attoniov Conn worked for three weeks preparing the lengthy statement which gives tho totals above. Tho treasurer's hooks had to U chicked ovnr nnd nil district payment crcd- Ited. For tho bonds declared void by the courts general Indebtedness bonds drawing i per cent Interest will be Issued and for the district bonds 0 per cent will bo paid. When It came to tho mnttcr of advertis ing this Issue of bonds there wait a differ ence of opinion between Johnston and Mar tin. Tho former wanted tho bonds adver- Used In the Omaha papers and some flnan- clal pnper for six tlmc3 and then close tho bids twenty days later. This plan Old not please President AdklnK or Johnston onl tncro was n wrangle which lasted for nearly naif an hour. At tho conclusion tho clerk was directed to ndvcrtlsn the bffnd in tho Omaha Dally lice, While talking about the propor methods of ad- vertlslng the quarrel between Johnston and Martin beenmo so warm that President Adkins was compelled to call for order. Mnrtln Insisted that some eastern flnnncl.il paper was the proper plhce to advertlso. while Johnston held that tho Omaha Deo wns tho best medium an Us financial news was copied by tho eastern Journnls, Ah usual, Johnston had his way and tho clerk wa.i given his Instructions to advertise tho bonds as soon as1 the propor form can be drawn up by tho city uttorney. HpvIsIiik Hip Ordinance. Alter debating the matter for manv months, tho city officials havo flnnllv taken atepB to have tho ordinances of the cltv revised. At thn tirmptit limn i.nxn rrninr and about 150 spoclal ordinances nrn on the books. Many of tho ordinances passed In early days havo been repealed and numer ous changes made In tho misdemeanor ordi nances. Tho only record the city has of theso alterations In the1 ordinances filed away and the notation on tho clerk's Jour nal. Owing to the confusion of tho rec ords decisions of tho police Judge aro fre quently sot aside and in Homo, cases tho city has been compelled to pay damages. Attorney II, I.. 'Cohn has been employed by the council to revise tho ordinances. Mr. Cohn said last .evening, that ho would com menco on. this 'work at once' lie expects that it will take about two months to com- plcto the revision. In addition to maklnc the revision Mr. Cohn will make two con- les of tho revised ordlnanco on typewriter, one for tho qity clerk nnd tho other for the,pollco judge. It is thought that when the ordinances aro revised and tho copies accepted by tno council Hint tho rovlspd ordinances and tbo ncwcharter will he printed In pamphlet form. Such a book would bp of groat .convenience to attor- neye, city officials and others who havo business to transact with tho city Repairing PnvpiiiPiit. The repairing of tho pavement on Twenty fourth street between E nnd F strocts Is now under consideration by tho street nnd alley commlttoe of tho council. This pave tnent on the cast side has sunk bo that there Is a pool of stagnant water thero most nll of tho tltuo. Tho suggestion wns made that the street commissioner lay n drain through the curb and' allow storm water to run into tho gully east. This was ob- Jected to for two reasons. Thoro would oon be n large pool of stagnnnt wntnr In tho gully, which Is surrounded by real- dencen and wnuld rrantn n tri-antm tmlcnnnn than having a mud hole on a paved street. Again, If the Rtorm water was turned into the gully the Twenty-third street sewer would be endangered nnd it Is all that the engineering department can do now to keep tno sower from falling down. City Englucer Deal says that tho only sensible way of abating tho nulsanco Is to tear up tho pavement for n block and relay It, raising it to tho proper grade. As there nre 840 squaro yards of pavement on this half of the block tho cost would be about $1,680. No money, being available for this work another plan will ho adopted, City prisoners will bo required to break rock to nbout- the nlze of a hazol nut nnd this will be placed on top of the sunken asphalt and thoroughly tamped. It Is thought that when this maendnm becomes I worn down by traffic lb 'will turn storm water into tnn center of tho atrnot unci thonce Into tho sower at Twonty-fourth ana t streets. Tho cost of this work will bo light as compared with the tearing up of the pavement. rnilp t'rimwliiir l,Kiu', Anomer enort is being made by the municipal authorities to compel tho mil. roads running through South Omahit to piaco anil maintain electric lights at cross- tngs. Acting Mayor Adklns algnod nn ordl nance yesterday providing for tho main tenanca of lights nt crossing by railroad companies. One feature of tho ordlnanco Is that unless tho railroads comply tho city will maintain tho lights nnd assess tho cost up against tho rnllroads dlsoboylng tho orainance. The fait that the city has n tnx commissioner now makes thb section of the ordinance feasible, Cl(- llnnilril lie lit, tlolow Is a statement show-fug the total bonded indebtedness of -tho city of South Oroaba at tho present time.

McClure.) ) the steamer, drifting bodily to leeward, light fast fixed In my eyes, I hear a thun "Who goes on lookout?" with vicious seas from squarely abeam dcrlng voice from tho poop; "Keep a good I nm the man and I call out my name. I P,,ndlng our weather side. We tire hove- lookout for'ard, there!' "Watch out for a flashing white tight on' the port bow Relievo the wheel and look out. That'll do the watch." A man goes nft to tho wheel, the watch goes below, and I climb the steps to the forecastle deck, where my prcdecessqr Is waiting at the capstan. "Keep your eyes peeled for a flashlight ahead and to port. Pass tho word along." "All right. Oo below but what do they expect It Is?" "Don't know. Some lighthouse; we're 'on soundings." He Is gone. I rub the sleep from my eyes and scan the clear-cut horizon ahe.id. There Is no sign of a light, nnd I pace up and down, back and forth from cathead to cathead, with an occasional glance over the sta. It Is n beautiful night the kind that brlngi meditation and retrospection. The full moon hangs In the southern sky, and de pending from It to the horizon Is a darken ing of the deep blue which ran only be likened to a shadow, or a curtain of shade, from n point n hundred yards from the ship the base of this track of liquid lire. There nre a few stars shining faintly In the flood of light: there Is wind, n soughing breath nloft, Just strong enough to belly the canvas; overboard Is a tinkling, musical ash of water, accentuated to n rhythmical rash under tho bow as the ship buries her cutwater, and losing volumo on the way aft to revive the swirling cross currents of the wake. I can hear the murmur of my watch mates' volco amidships, and the regular thumping of the mate's boothcels on the poop. Ho is pacing up and down like my self, perhaps from habit, pcrhapo to awaken himself; for we have all lost much sIocd lately. Hut I am wide awake the moonlight nnd Its memories havo banished the sleep and I halt In my wnlk to lean over the capstan. with no fear of tho drowsiness which usually attends tho first half hour of thn watch on cck at. night. It wns Just such a night as this when I once walked through n lane with a girl nnd stopped nt the gate of a flower-filled yard. And, though my eyes are niechan'cnlly fixed upon the horizon ahead and to port, watching for that flashing white light, my mental vision Is taken up with tho Imago of the girl. She. Is facing me, one small hand resting on the gate, one small foot peeping from beneath her dress, tho color gone from her check nnd the cars starting In her eyes. In the. strong moonlight I can sec tho womanly pity and regret in her sweet face, tho twitching at tho comers of her mouth and tho slow, troubled podding of her head. She Is say Ing: "No no, I nm not for you. Wo aro not alike. You must go your way and I muBt go mine. Wo cannot even bo friends, for thero Is no mlddlo ground." And that Is why I am back beforo tho mast this night, hanging over tho capstan. watching for a flashing white light nnd thinking of her. Tho rebellious heart in my breast chokes mo nnd tho rebellious brain In my head throbs In pain while It tries to formulato the reason of it nil why I, who must love her through life, am de barred on this account nlono from her friendship, from her society from even her acquaintance. I, who would -give my all for n smile for a glance of recognition, must not know hor, apeak to her, nor meet her, Tho stranger yet unborn is nearer to her than am I nnd of the millions of humnn beings In tho world she Is farthest romoved from me. Because, for certain temperaments, thero Is no middle ground. It Is bitter speculation and not all men have known It. In my own caso I can only work out tho problem to this: I love bo cause I can appreciate I loso because I lovo too much. A twinkle of light shows on the dark lino of horizon. I stand erect to make sure nnd It Is gone. As I watch It nparkles again. "Flashing white light on tho port bow, sir," I sing out. glad of tho relief to my bitterness of mind gratified that I had been first to seo It. "All right." I watch tho, light. It Is not regular In its coming nnd going; It has a refulgenco un common In beacon lights; it leaps to a flare and sinks to n glow; It expands to a nebula and breaks up Into frngmonts. "Keep her away for that light," I hear the mate call to the man nt'tho wheel; then, to tho third mate: "Rouse out all hands; sond up a rockot or show a torch. That's a ship afire." A ship afire! I turn and look again. There la no mistake the mato Is right can clearly mako out two slim spars and a black funnel, Bhnrply cut In tho reflection. Tho blaze la nft and tbo steamer is heading toward us, whllo from our change of couran it takes a position from two points an tho, port bow to one directly ahead. As though the powers behind the wind bad taken direct cognlzanco of the extremity, tho breoze freshens with our chango of courso and wo rush down the wind with breaking seas curling under our counter, Yards are square as before, for tho chango merely brings the wind from slightly on one quarter to slightly on the other. Soon we can make out the shape and position of deckhouses and tho Infinite shadow of hull beneath. Over tho' sparkling flare and left behind by Its motion stretches a canopy of smoko and there Is a black thickening and rlso of its sheer forward which can he nothing but closely packed humnn beings. Tho watch below Is out. Men aro clew Ing up the courses; others are dancing aloft to tho forcynrd with hoisting tackles; aft. the third mate and the ship's boys arc clearing nway a quarter boat and amidships the carpenter Is sending up rockets. But I am on lookouj. and until called down or relieved can take no part In this. With tho Increaso of wind comes n lower Ing of temperature and a darkening sky, I shiver, and, buttoning my Jacket snug to my throat, resume my walk back aud forth from cathead to cathead. A glance nft shows me tho southern sky shaded with an almost opaque curtain of cloud; the moon Is nearly obscured. A few flakes of snow brushed my cheek; a keener edge comes to the pressuro of wind nnd aloft the aeollan song of a new born gnlo walls in the rigging. There will bo trouble and grief tonight, I know boat work In a show storm anil rising sea. "Keep a good lookout for'ard, there. roars tho mate fioni nmtdships, and I nn- swer, thankful with n sailor's Irresponsi bility, that mine Is the easiest duty on hoard. Fast as wo nre charging toward the flam.

She Is still head to wind, but engines have stopped and steam Is escaping In a muffled roar. the fire has reached the engine room, and we are just in time. To our ears against the gale corao scrcamlngs nnd shoutings and we see frantic waving of hats. "Check In starboard port fore and cro' Jack braces," calls the skipper from the poop. "Lcavo the main yards square till we try ner. uown wr ttoe wheel.

Tho towering flame seems to cut tho sn6v""ln' a line with my eyes; for, though I car iseo her distinctly, nnd apparently can see thn crisping sea be neath my line of slghL tho boats aro in visible. I look slowly, around at the Inclos ing wall of gray, and ico nothing but our spars nnd deck-fitttngs. No prompt report from a lookout could i.savo1 n Bhlp, hoveto In this snow should'nnVlhlng under aall or steam como out of that'iray wall; yel, I am on the lookout, und my duty is to watch. But I would now rather bo In one of those boats, cheering With thb rest as I pull to savo life. ' A rocket rUcs from amidships ut regular Intervals. Wo havo a lazaretto half full and the carpenter docs not spnro them. Up they go, whizzing nnd Hputtcrlng, high above tho. royal yards before they turn down nnd burst. It Is this bursting In mld-alr that Is depended upon to show our direction to tho boats; It can be. soon through snow and fog that would obscuro tho fiery lint of ascent. I turn to tho burning steamor. Sho Is now on our starboard bow, drifting to lee ward at n lesser rato than ours; for wo nrn under sail. Sho Is pointing our way, nenrly end 6n, and tho flnraes amidships nro lap- nlmr the brldce hear the foremast this' from tho chango of head lo bourn wind. Thn black thickening at the forward rail is now thicker, nnd I can plainly see llttlo dots and spots descending from It people Jumping. probably Into our boats. This Is soon confirmed. The dots nnd spots cease dropping nnd n faint cheer comes over tho sen. Rocket after rocket goes aloft until a rousing hqll to starboard Indicates the return of the first boat. It is tho quarter-boat. She comos ghost-llko. and linmeneo out of tbo, enow, and the third mato sings out: "Women and children, sir. Lot's have a bosun's-chnlr." The boat comes around to tho Iccsldc, Four men have been left aboard nnd the bosun's-chalr Is already rigged. Dpwn !t goes from tho leo mnin yard and brings up n womnn. Down again; up with another. Then comes a man with a child In bis arms; then more men. Tho steward ralnlstors unto them and tho bont disappears Into tho gray. Tho other boats heave In sight, ono by one, and discharge tholr living freight, then back to tho steamer, and back to tho ship. Tho decks aro filling with men nnd boys, and hore nnd there a woman or a child. Some seek the shelter of tho forward house, and stare to windward nt tho red glare upon tho gray wall. One slight, figure leaves this group,' steps upon tho fore hatch, and looks Etcadlly up at me. Wo are drifting faster than tho blazing steamer; she Is now on our port bow nnd our distance la Increasing; but, as I watclw the black line on her forward roll grows thinner and thinner, whllo bont after boat comes out of the enow and returns to her. Then th'cy como, tho four together, and I hear tho Joyful hall of tho second mate; "Got 'em nil, sir. Qood thing, too. Thore's powdor In her hold." I step to leeward and look down on tho confusion below, whero three boats en-, decvor to keep clear of each other while a fourth uhloans, rnen i return to tne cap stnn, where facing rac In the flurry of enow- flakes Is a slight figure a woman, Ono email hand rests upon tho capstan, one small foot peeps from beneath hor ilre&a. I had seen this attitude in a girl at a gate In tho moonlight. Tho parallel Is mora com pletc thero Ib tho same, slow, troubled nodding of the head. It Is more than com plete; it is tho girl. For, though I cannot distinguish her features, I know her volco when sho speaks. "You would not come home, so I come to you. Why would you not come? I waited so long." I spring towurd her and sho advances, her head still slowly nodding. I forget tho situation the storm, the crowded decks, my position on lookout, our Isolated prom Inence In full vlow of those who would look, and I extend by arms. But a sudden lighting up of the dull bued blanket of sea and sky startloi us both.

Tho season of suburban amenities Is now at Its height, not only nraong tho plain every-dny folk who know how to get tho best out of life, but also among the smart set who are staying later and later in their country homes. Vogues of fifty years ago, when much' of the notable entertain ing was done nt the country estates, are coming back Into general uso and the cities are subservient in a fashionable aensc through the autumn and early winter to tho country. To be tho Inventor of some new and striking form of entertainment Is to score a social success and the' clever hostess who can achlovo this rosult finds her fa mo spreading and her entertainments repro duced with variations to suit climatic and financial conditions from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Whllo few can expect to, or even carp to roilow in the wake or Mrs. Horman Ocl rlchs' real circus at Newport, which fol lowed Its prototype In every particular from sawdust ring to pink lemonade, nor yet repeat the example of the Vanderbllts at Polnt d'Arcadle, Bar Harbor, Mo., when tho floral and electrical decorations alone must hnve cost, a king's ransom thero aro other now ideas that can easily bo followed to a like succssfnl conclusion. For instance, nt a cupper and danco given recently at tho Pot and Kottle club at Bar Harbor, the hostesses, for there were two, officiated as cooks nt the grill, while the women guests, in whlto duck gowns, caps and aprons, served tho men guests. At the ftlitn or the drill. While "grill suppers" are no longer a novelty at restaurants, they are among the nowest of new fashions In the private houses.

Tho foods provided are such as can bo quickly cooked before the eyes of the nmuscd and hungry guests and many consist of beefsteaks, muttonchops, oysters, dovlled bones, toasted cheese or even pancakes. Houst Uyatrra,- At one seaside homo recently the guests wero Invited to the cellar where a bushel basket of oysters In the shall had been provided. Theso were quickly roasted In tho furnace, and served to the guests on bright tin plates, o( courso cnten direct from tho shell. The feast was finished with now sweet cider, nuts and fruit. A similar roast may be enjoyed In tbe kitchen on mo cook s night out, or In tho dining room that Is provided with an old-fashioned open grate. This will be found a cheery way for the young folks to spend a wot fall evening. Wash nnd acruh tho oyster shells and dry them; then throw them Into the lire by tho dozen; as soon ns they be gin to open they are done. Remove with tbe tongs to the tin plates and season to In dividual tasten with salt and pepper, cat sup, lemon or pepper wnuce. Supplemented by crackers, cider, doughnuts or pumpkin 0 , pie with checso and eaten to tho measure I of Joke and college ongs or story, this simple and dcctiedly primitive refection r solves Itself Into a most delightful nnd 1 successful social function. 1 In sections of the country whero nn oyster roast or grill is not practical, coin roasts are much in favor nnd ery enjoj -able. .
