Ooen Throng!!.
An adjourned meeting of tho city coun
cil was held yesterday afternoon and two
ordinances of considerable Importance were
passed. Ono was tho ordlnanco Introduced
Monday night providing for the Issuing of
renewal bonds In the sum of U10.S80. This
amount Includes the overdue bonds on Im
provement districts for 1901 and the cntlro
maturities for 1902. Tho bonds will run
for ten years and will draw 6 per cent In
terest. Through the efforts of tho finance
committee this Issue has been sold to
'Spllzor & Co. of Toledo, 0. This firm agroes
to have tho platca of tho bonds lithographed
and will forward the same to tho city om
.clals for signature. Hy having tho Toledo
firm draw tho form of tho bonds tho cltv
will avoid delay, an In tho past bond buyers
liavo frequently caused bonds to bo sent
back for n Quango In the form and wording.
With this lssuo the city authorities will
be relieved of all worry about taking up
bonds on Improvement districts which are
maturing monthly and will nvc tho expense
of borrowing nioney to pay Interest cou
pons. There will bo a saving of 1 per cent
on this Issue, as tho bonds to bo renewed
aro now drawing 7 per cent, while the com
ing Issue will draw only 6 per cent. It Is
expected that by this action the credit of
the city will be firmly established again In
tho financial world.
The library ordlnanco was passed the fame
an was tho bond ordinance, each bolng read
tho second arid third time by title. Mayor
Kolly assorted that ho would sign both
ordinances and havo them sent to the
printer at mice.
' It Is expected that under tho prorlslons
of this latter ordlnanco tho council will
proceed at next Monday night's meeting to
elect nine mombcrs of tho board of direct
ors. There soems to bo n disposition among
seme of tho members of tho council to cut
out the women entirely and elect nine men.
Thin will hardly be dono at this time, as
tho mayor has virtually pledged himself to
namo four women on tho board. Tho coun
cil will, however, elect flvo men and thon
as soon as vacancies occur fill tho places
with men.
While tho ordlnanco provides that the
terms of mombcrs shall expire on July 1
In one, two and three years, there Is no
objection to tho board being organised at
once and proceeding with tho business In
hand.

In speaking of the report, published In
a local paper of tho contemplated addi
tions to the Cudahy packing plant, E. A.
Cudahy, vice president and general man
ager of tho company, Bald last night:
"Thoro Is no foundation whatever for
the report. Wo have not thought of or
discussed the erection of any of tho .build-
ngs mentioned. For somo time It has
been a question with us whether to uso our
present offices for the pharmaceutical de
partment or to erect one new' building, but
we huvo decided nothing so far. I have nn
Idea how tho report got started, unless It
was becaiide we have been talking with tho
Stock Yards company about tho building
of a track on our west. The contemplated
track would make more ground available
should we, In the future, decldo to enlarge.
Thero Is no truth In tho published story
about the new buildings."

A lank, loose-Jointed roan with a scrag-
gly growth of blonde beard on his faco
slouched up to tho window of the desk
sorceant at the city Jail tho other day and
asked for his package. He was followed by
a woebegone woman and three children of
uncertain nge, who had Just heard tho hus
band and father explain to tho police Judge
that he had never been drunk beforo on
the streets of Omaha. "
'You must bo n stranger In these parts,"
observed tho (sergeant as ho sorted out the
parcels.
"Yes, I don't mako . these big towns
much."
"Mako tho towns! Then aro. you a trav
eling man?"
'W-a-1-1, sort of, yes. Mo and tho old
woman nnd tho kids keep on the move
pretty much all tho time."
'How do you travel?"
'Covored wagon. There's only three
states In the union that we ain't been In."
This with a glow of pride.
"How long havo you been at It?"
"Something llko ten years.."
Tho sergeant sized up the children and
Inferred that In that event alt three must
have been born on the road, as the eldest
appeared about 8 years of age. He made
known his observation.
"Y-a-s," drawled the father, as he signed
tor his package. "Charlie here Is a Stude-
baker, Bobble Is a Mitchell and little Emma
Is a South Bend."
Tho children wero designated by the wag-
oca In which they wero born, and he had
swapped wagons threo times.
Fence Hull Proves Adhesive.
On ono dt the frosty mornings last week
a Cass street school boy vanquished his
brother In the usual morning dressing raco
and rushed out of doors to enjoy a brief
play hour beforo breakfast. He skipped
down tho stone walk that led to the street
and at tho gate noticed that the Iron fence
was thickly coated with clean white frost.
Tho boy hadn't stopped for n drink of
water In the house, so he was thirsty, and
besides, tho'frost looked Inviting for other
reasons. In a Jiffy ho had laid his tonguo
lovingly along the side of one of tho pointed
spikes, and tho next moment he was almoU
paralyzed with paln and surprise. Tho
tongue would not come off. Moreover, hla
first Involuntary Jerk completely flayed the
part that was freed and the pain was In
tense, After some sucking aud a little more,
heroic Jerking the boy got away, leaving n
good sized patch of skin on the Iron. His
tosgue was rather sore, but ho decided
after a moment that It did not hurt so
badly attor all and that It he told It Willy
would have a Joko on him, while U hi

Nome "Live Members" Here,
Tho man whose home Is In New York
was walking down Farnam street with the
man whose homo Is In Omaha. Tho former
had never been beyond the boundaries of
the Tammany domain beforo In his llfo
and had an Idea that Gotham wns about
tho only place where anybody lived. He
was saying to tho Omaha man:
"Your town Is all right, I supposo
Charley, but It's off the map. I don't sup
pose you havo mora than about ono real
'live member' here In a wholo year's tlmo
do you?
It was a holiday week when several
theatrical companies and soma others hap
pened to be In Omaha at tbo samo time
and It also happened that at that partlcu
lar hour several of the stars wcro out on
tho street. Tho coincidence came handy
to the man from Omaha. He said:
"Well, I don't know that we are quite
the cntlro show out here, but there Is
more of us than you think. Do you soe
that man with tbo long hair and the broad
hat over thoro?" -"Yos."
"Well, that's Buffalo Bill, And do you
sco that man over In front of tho hotel?"
"Yes."
"Well, that's Tim Murphy. Now that
man Just getting Into the carriage over
thero Is another theatrical man who plays
New York when he hasn't anything clso
to do."
"Who Is he?"
"Andrew Itobson. Up In front of that
florlstn Is a carriage waiting for a star o
the other sex."
"Name her."
"Qertrudo Coghlan. Now Just to mix
things a llttlo I'll ask you to look over to
that crossing by tho Burlesque house, and
tell mo who that big nibs looks like."
"Why hang It, that's Jim Joffrlea, aln
It?"
"That Is Just who It Is, bo you see the
railroad runs In hero and somebody be
sides our own people do get off occasion
ally."
Thero was a moment's pause and then
the man from New York said:
"Charley, aro your legs tired?"
"No. Why?"

Tho annual celebration on Forefathers'
day of tho New England Society In New
York have always, save on n few special oc
casions, Included n dinner, followed by
pceches and the singing or recitation of
rlglnal versos. Theso addresses, sor-
mous and poems have now, been collected
Into two volumes nnd published under tbo
title, "Tho New England Society Orations."
The orations, qulto distinct from tho aftpr
dlnncr addressee, wero delivered nt annual
nnd special meetings held for tho purposo
by tho New England society lu tho city of
New York between tho years 1820 and 1RSS.
Their significance was not of tho moment
only. Delivered by leading statesmen nnd
thinkers, tho orations have great historical
alue, vividly reflecting as they do the
temper of their times. But they deal not
only with tho past of tho Pilgrims nnd of
tho nation; their prophotlc note, hopeful
nnd fearless, gives them living worth to
day. Tho earliest speech given In tho col
lection is tho famous "Trlbuto to New Eng
land" by Dr. Gardiner Spring, which Is fol
lowed, by way of note, by tho animated
reply of tho Boston Unitarians. Dr.
Spring's was tho first of several orations
that created warm discussion. Among the
distinguished men represented In theso
volumes (and for tho most part represented
by orations not previously published save
n raro pamphlots now sought by col
lectors) aro Leonard Bacon, Ralph Waldo
mcrson. Ilufus Choaote, Mark Hopkins.
Robert C. Wlnthrop, Daniel Webster, Wil
liam Adams, Qeorgo P. Marsh. Dr. Had-
duck (a nephew of Daniel Webster), Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Wllllnm Cullcn Bryant.
Kichtird Salter Storrs, William M. Evnrta
J. Preacott Hall and George William Cur
tis. Tho poem of John Plorpont on "Tho
Pilgrims of Plymouth" Is also Included.
Tho collection of orations Is preceded bv
nn article by Woolsey Rogers Hopkins on
the "Beginning of the New England Socletv
n New York." This work will appeal not
only to members of tho Now England so
ciety In tho city of New York, but to mem
bers of tho mnny New England and his-
torlcal societies scattered throughout the
country, nnd, Indeed, to every son of New
England. Tho Century Company, Now

many realistic exercises which appeal to
tno actual or posslblo experlenco of tho
student. They aro designed not for tho
purpose of discovery, hut of realization
and progressive teachers will nppreclato
