POLITE' EDUCATION Ftn BRIGHT CANINES
Mechanical Contrivance Which Will
Conve.r a Correct Notion of (he
Mnr to the nnfir-at
Klj I Yet nom. .
A' machine to teach dogi to dance Is the
hUest product of Tanker genius, though
the name of the Inventor, n. P. Schultz,
sound suspiciously Teutonic, llowever, ho
yclatms Yankee birth and training and no one
'wilt doubt It after seeing his machine. It
ta in tho office of Justice Prltehard,, where
It was brought by Constablo McOlrinli on
.a write of attachment sworn out by George
Pancoast. model maker, to satisfy a
ine.cbante'1 lien, of $32. Srhultz says the
machine would pay for Its own making It
they would give him a chance to use It.
At first glance this mechanical dancing
(master suggests one nf thosw big spools that
'barbed wire Is wound on for tho market, set
on end. There are two circular revolving
platforms, one below for the dogs to stand
upon, tho other above to support the delicate
system of wires which connects with their
lower or hind legs. Two dogs take the
Itseon at a time. They are made to stand
erect, facing each other, and are held In
that position by a kind of leather harness,
ao that they present tho appearance of a
couple waltzing. Pour flexible steel bars
about the weight of umbrella ribs extend
downward from the upper platform, each
(being equipped at its lower end with a
tiny strap to go around the ankle of tho
dog. At tho upper end they connect with
a system of levers, which. In turn, com
municate with the Internal works of a
hand organ, which Instrument rests upon
.the top platform of the "spool" and fur
nishes the music for the dancing lesson.
Difficult!- of Dancing Dob.
"We have all seen dancing dogs," said Mr.
"Schulti, "but who ever saw a dAncing dog
that could really keep step to music? It's
awaya the music that bas to 'keep step' to
tbe dog, no to speak. But this machine
teaches the dog to actually keep step to
wiuile. The wires are so arranged that
th dog's foot, comes down every tme a
dominant note lb the tune Is struck. Keep
this up for three weeks, an hour a day, and
two bright dogs will vnltr. together without
the aid of the machine, aided by the harness
alone, almcat as well as two parsons can.
There are three advantages of tho mnchlne
over human Instruction directly applied,
and these are as follows: First, the ma
chine never gets mad and kicks Its pupil;
second, It never gets too lazy to do Its
work thoroughly; third, every lesson and
very detail of every lesson U exactly the
same from ono day to another, so the pupil
Is not confused by what appear to be con-
, tradlctlons.
"My lujea was to buy young pugs and
poodles, teach tbpm to dance, and Ihcn sell
them In private households. A pair of dogs
trained like this ought to sell all tho wfty
from $13 to $100, the price to bs determined
Ay breed, pedigree, disposition and other
conditions."
Mr. Schultz is making his home at the
Metropolitan hotel. He says he has ben
working on his Invention nearly a year.
Two years ago he Invented a combination
lock and sold the patent for $500.
DRY GOODS MARKET IS QUEER
Order far Aprinar (inmli Kxceed the
Winter Drill nml In Xnmlier
anil Value.
The western dr goods market presents a
novel, situation, orders tor the spring trado
exceeding In numbers those for the winter
trade. It Is not surprising that spring or
ders should "exceed In value the winter or
, dsrs at this season, but that they should
exceed them In number Is strange, because
usually at this time the retail dealers are
filling broken stocks. The warm weather
of the last month has left the stocks prac
tically Intact and the winter orders amount
to utile,
. , Tbe fight between Borden of Fall River
and the Simpson company bas affected local
'trad considerable. A month or more ago
Bordta advanced tbe price of American In-
. dlgoes and American blacks, grays and
'whites, Indlgoes to the extent of one-half
cent, and others to a less degree. This week
lie hs reduced the price, American Indlgoe
from 44 cents to 4U conts; blacks, whites
and grays from 4U to 4 cents, and shirting
prints from 4 cents to 3 cents. This re
duction was earned by the fsllure of Simp
son to advance his price corresponding to

RECEIVE AT OLD LADIES' HOME
Woman' Christian Assoplntlon (,'nr.
rles On a Aiiorrssful Cam
paten for Heller.
Th customary uulet and routine of the
Old ladles' home nt 2718 Hurt street re
ceived a decided Interruption yesterday In
tho form of a tea party and Informal rccep
tlon. Everything about the neatly furnished
rooms was shining and some half doaen
members of the Woman', Christian associa
tion conducting the home donned their
frilled aprons and served tea and dough
nuts from their own best china to tho
more fortunate (listers of the aged Inmates,
who called continuously, stopping for a
word with all.
About a month ago tho association de
termined to nek the public's assistance In
providing for the home, and, accordingly,
1,000 large paper bags wero distributed
upon which were printed a list of the pro
visions most needed and tho request that
they be filled nnd returned to the home
today. Realizing the value of the public's
Interest, as well as Its donations, and that
this might best be stimulated by
personal visits to tho home, the
association decided to employ that
lndfflputnhly profitable If strictly feminine
method of "receiving" nnd serving tea.
Their mcst sanguine hopes are realized, for
thu contributions have nearly filled the
larders with a good supply of provisions to
apply on tho winter s needs and many
dainties for Immediate use, as well. Tho
Thanksgiving dinner is assured, that is, It
the turkeys And all the other things can be
kept until next week, but It they can't It
will matter little, only In sentiment, for the
old women have bright prospects of Tbanks
giving dinners and st.ppers, too, for at least
n weok to come. A number of donations of
dishes which supply a much felt want wero
rnnds, but best of all, there has been ampin
evidence of public Interest, which Is tbo
chief assurance for tbe future and success
of the institution.
Among the women who received aud
served the refreshments were: Mrs. P. 1
Perlnc, Mrs. Edward Johnson, Mrs. (leorge
Tllden. Mrs. O. W. Clarke, Mrs. O. E. Ho-

Charles E. Perkins of Burlington, la ,
former president of the Chicago, Burlington
Qulncy Railroad company, and a member
of tho new board of directors elected Inst
Monday In New York, was In Omsha for
three hours yesterday. A portion of the
forenoon was devoted to an Inspection of
the company's property, but for the greater
part of tho tlmo Mr. Perkins wns In con
ference with General Manngcr Holdrege of
the B. & M.
In response to a request for a statement
of the present status of tho Burlington, in
view of the recent financial settlement, Mr.
Perkins said; "I wish you could tell me
something definite about It. I am sure I
don't understand the matter. It hns been
a long tlmo since I was lost in New York
and as I did not attend tho recent meeting
of the stockholders I nm not In a position
to know positively tho effect of what was
done.
"Do I understand that tho Burlington has
been 'bottled up' by tho Union Pacific In
terests and Is unable to build extensions
without their consent? Well, I can't say
as to that, for I don't know. When tho
smoko clears awny wo will all know Just
how tho matter stands and Just what It
means. No, my present trip Is not a tour
of Inspection, merely a hunting trip which
I take ovory fall."
Mr. Perkins' special train arrived from
Plattsmouth nt 9 o'clock, whoro Tuesday
night was spent after an Inspection of tho
site for tho Burlington's new brldgo over
tho Mlseourl nt that point. Ho was ac
companied by Howard Elliott of St. Louis,
general manager of tho Burlington lines
In Missouri, one nf tho threo grnnd divi
sions of the Burlington system, and T. K.
Cnlvert of Lincoln, general superintendent
of tho Burlington lines In Nebraska. Gen
eral Manager Holdrege's prlvato car was
attached to tho special, nnd the party left
at noon for Lincoln. Tho company's prop
erly at Lincoln and the big shops at Have-
lock will bo looked over, nftcr which the
party will make a Hip over tho Billings
line and Indulge In n hunt In Wyoming and
Montana.
niirlliiKtou'M reaent Directors.
With Mr. Perkins on tho now Burling-
Ion board of directors, which In of tho old
corporation and not of the now ono re
cently organized, arc James J. Hill, St.
rain; James N. Hill, St. Paul; Norman B.
Ream, Chicago; Robert Bncon New York;
E. H. Hnrrlman, New York; Jacob II. Schlff,
New York; Oeorgo J. Gould, New York;
H. McK. Twombley, New York; Fronds
W. Hunnewell, Boston: J. Malcom Forbes,
Boston. An analysis of the board as to In
terests represented' gives tho following re
sult: Messrs. Schlff, Harrlman nnd Gould
are Union Pacific representatives and mem
bers of the executive commlttco of that
road: Messrs. J. J. nnd J. N. Hill and Ream
nrc Hill men: Robert Bacon represents
J. P. Morgan Co.. while McK. Twombley
is a director of tho Northwestern and as
such a representative of the VandcrbiltR-.
Mr. Perkins, with Messrs. Hunncwoll and
Forbes, nro old Burlington representatives
and the only members of the old board to
be re-elected.
Tho now board re-elected the old officers.
Including Chairman Francis W., Hunne
well, Boston: President Oeorgo B. Harris.
Chicago: First Vice President nnd Treas
urer James C. Peaslcy, Chicago; Secrotnry
T. d. uowiund, Boston. The election makes
It apparent that Mr. Harris la to remain.
for the tlmo being, at least, at the bead of
tho Burlington and that there will not bo
any 'radical cbanges In the operating offi
cials of the road. Considerable surprise
bas been expressed that no announcement
was ninde regarding the second vice presi
dency, which has been vacant slnco Mr.
Hnrrls' promotion to tho presidency. It Is
thought that this position will eventually
bo given to Darius Miller, who is to be
traffic director of tho Burlington and North
western properties, If Mr. Hill's plans
carry.
Great Western (iraillncr Contract Let.
John Mnrsten, chief engineer of the

HurlliiKtou's Nerr Freight Depot.
"Tbe Burlington has contemplated the
construction of a new and modorn freight
depot near the site of tho present ono for
some time," said a Burlington official, "but
we are not quite ready to announce tho de
tails, as the plans are only partially com
pleted. The old building is Inadequate to
handle our business, and a new depot Is a
necessity. Construction will probably not
be commenced until sprlug, though the
foundations may be put In this winter If tho
weather will permit."
A. L. Craig of Portland, general passenger
agent of the Oregon Railway and Naviga
tion company, wns a visitor at Union Pa
cific headquarters while enrouto to Chicago

that he would do all ho could to adyance
the plan adopted by tho citizens after tho

Mr. Van Duscn went further Into the
question. He said bo believed South
Omaha would favor consolidation It It could
be shown that expenses of government
would bo rcducod, but that South Omaha
would oppose any forced consolidation
which took from the voters tho right of
voting on the question. He believed that
the legislature could provide for nn elec
tion upon tho subject In tho two cities and
so enact the law as to niako the consolida
tion effective after the vote Is declared In
favor of the proposition.
It was announced that at 3 o'clock Thurs
