WOMEN HOPE FOR BUILDING MinUUrUl Unici Girts Thim Ruiwil f Enconrtgtmiut. MRS. BYERS TO APPEAL THROUGH PULPITS One PiiNKllilllty U n I nltnl IMIllcc for Hotli the VotniK Women' mill the VntitiK Men' (iirlfttliin .tftMicliitloim. Those women In whoie phllanthropls minds Is cherished a project for a woman's building In Omaha found what they consider substantial encouragement In the cordiality with which the Ministerial union received them yctterday. The women have been secretly discussing plans for some time, and yesterday sent a delegation, composed of Mrs. Clcorge Tllden, Mrs. W. IV Harford and Mrs. Kmma F. Bycra, to tho meeting of tho clergymen. Their mission, however, was only to ask the privilege of laving beforo the congrega tions tho work and needs of the Young Woman's Christian association nnd the mat ter of the building was brought up by the mlnlatora themselves, without hint or sug gestion from tho women. Rev. Hcrlng of the First Congregatlonnl church launched It by remarking that the time had como for Omaha seriously to consider construct ing what should be distinctly n women's headiiunriers, and Rev. Trcfi followed with a pMsto that he had $100 of his own ready for tho Young Woman's Christian associa tion any day It should begin the erection of such n place. Others made remarks equally cnrouraglng, one expressing confidence In his congregation's willingness to contribute at least $500. Woman's Circuit of Pulpit. Reverting to tho original mission of tho callers, the union adopted n resolution to allow the representatives to address their several congregations during tho winter. The plan is for Mrs. Dyers, tho general secretary, to occupy tho pulpit of each church ono Sunday evening or morning nnd show what the association bns done nnd Is doing; other women of the committee to pnss through the audience nfterward nnd distribute subscription blanks and furnish nuy additional Information thut may be de sired. It Is said that Mrs. Uycrs will lay par ticular stress ou tho tacts that tho associa tion has mndo but few demands on tho public beforo and thnt it hns grown to audi proportions that larger quartors nro absolutely necessary. To substantiate the former claim sho will show that while tho association has spent $12,000 during thu last yenr only $500 of that amount has been re ceived In subscriptions. As evidence of tho truth of the other claim sho may tell that GOO women ore now lunching dally In the association rooms and that some special class work has bad to bo given up because of tho Inadequacy of the quarters. Thu old lease of tho association rooms, which nre on the third lloor of the l'axton block nt Sixteenth nnd Fnrnnm streets, ex pired Inst October and tho heads of the as sociation decided to renow for only one year. On the one floor the organization has had to arrange n gymnasium In tho rear, parlors In the front nnd the kitchen In be tween. Tho partitioning was tho work of tho association, alt apartments boing In ono when the place was rented. .MlKlit Unite with Viiiiiik .lien. Ono cherished scheme hns been to havo tho Woman's club and tho Young Woman's Christian association unlto In tho effort to have a building erected for both and this hns been partlcplnrly popular with tho executives, Mrs. Tllden, who was at tho head of tho Young Women's Christian asso ciation, and who la now president of tho Woman's club, nnd Mrs. Hnrford, who has In tho course of events traded places yith her. Thoy ore not blind to tho difficulties they must encounter, but declare that Omaha must have a Woman's building sooner or later, and that It must bo In a convenient part of tho business district whero It will bo of real use to those for whom It Is Intended. Somo of tho old rest- Tho presentation nnd discussion of tho proposed N'lnoteenth street slto for tho city market houso wns tho toplo of chief Interest nt yesterday's meeting of tho Woman's club, nnd tho announcement that tho matter would bo presented by General Mnnderson aud Huv. 11. C. Hcrlng nttracted n lnrgo attendance of women nnd not n few men Interested In the subject. Learning Into In the day that Ooncrnl Mnnderson would bo unable to address the club, Mr. Isaac Congdou was Introduced to speak In his stend In fnvor of the proposed Nineteenth street site, Mr. Congdon nsked that Mr. Hcrlng present his objections to tho location first, that ho might reply to them. Mr. Hcrlng began with congratulat ing thu women on tho Interest they mani fest not only In this mntter, but In matters In general that concerned thu public wel fare, assuring them that It is high tlmo that someone waked up to tho necessity of this support, and again congratulated thom that thoy had so well established themselves n moral factor In tho city that had to bo reckoned with. Concerning tho location of tho market house In the vicinity of tho public library, ho treated tho matter en tirely from tho standpoint that its presenco there, would establish the character nf the neighborhood1, and ns tho library Is nlrcndy located thero It behooves tho citizens to prevent iho erection of a public building, at least that will naturally nnd necessarily attract surroundings thnt will be a monaco to tho public library. Ho said that, from ,nn esthetic standpoint, a market houso Is not n savory or comely object In Itself and will not enhance the beauty of tho library location nnd that It Is time for tho city to begin to consider this fate of Its building. Aside from this and even n greater objec tion nre tho surroundings thnt tho mnrkct would attract, such ns tho side street sa loon nnd those who frequent It. Mr. Congdon snld he appreciate! that ho represented a prejudiced loentlon, but that tho club should remember that the public library is not the only Institution worthy of consideration and that other Interests than thoso pertaining to It hud to bo tnken Into account. He urged thnt slto ns prefer able to all others proposed on account of Its central location and Its accessibility from nil tho enr lines of the city. Ho summed up tho present character of the neighborhood ns by no means desirable nnd Btatcd thnt as Its natural futuro tendency wns toward second-class retail business, a market houso would prove Its salvation by crowding out shops nnd other business of n less desirable character. As the business of the market Is over by 10 o'clock In tho morning, It will occasion no confusion dur ing tho hours when the library Is most In uso, alao that tho depth of tho lots would admit of an nlley nt tho rcur, whero tenms might drive. This feature, with tho big sower located beneath tho site, would admit of tho utmost cleanliness, and do nway with tho much dreaded refuse of the market. At tho conclusion of his adllreis Mr. Her Ing was called for to answer somo of the points Mr. Congdon had made, whi;h ho did, by saying that Judging the city by Its Woman's Work in Club and Charity Why Syrup .of Ffs tiVbesi: family lax&tiv It is pure.

Acccrdlng to the statement rendered tho city has had tho Bcrvlce of 202 hydrants nt tho rate of $G0 n year, which for six months nmounted to $0,060. In addition to these three Intermediate hydrants havo been placed at a rate of $10 per month, making the totnl hill for tho six months $C,07o. The nmount of tho 1001 levy for water purposes was $11,443.17 and up to date over $10,000 has been drawn, so that there re mains In tho water fund less than $00. A city olllctal said yesterday that In order to meet tho payment of this bill the city would havo to go Into court nnd con fess Judgment for the nmount of tho bill nnd permit the sum to bo paid out of the Judcmont fund.
