(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Bept, 28 8peclal.)-Chlef
Justice Bulllvan, candidate for the suprems
bench on the fusion ticket, probably le not
now "apprehensive" about the committee
calling- upon him for that $2S which he
promised to pay toward helping out the
party, because this afternoon the Judge
waa called before the populist committee
that has Just opened up headquarters In
this city. If the populists failed to get the
wherewithal, the Judge's friends believe he
will escape. . It Is supposed the populists
called In the Judge Just for this purpose,
as his report filed with the secretary of
state of his expenses for securing; the nomi
nation simply stated that he had spent
nothing, but had promised to give $25 to
the committee when It was called for and
he was "apprehensive that It would be
called for."
Populists have their headquarters at 1S2S
O street and the democrats are grinding
away at Omaha. Whether this division of
the fuslonlsts was due to the fact that
two heads Is better than one or whether
It would . produce more harmony around
headquarters Is not stated. Chairman Web
ber will have charge of the populists with
J. R. Fairls as secretary, while the demo
crats are looked after by C. B. Scott of
Kearney, who did the business last year.
The headquarters were opened In Omaha
in an effort to keep the few of the party
In line 'there and the Lincoln end of the
business was opened with the purpose of
conducting the rest of the- campaign from
here. Lee Herdman went down with Judge
Sullivan to see the boys and talk It up.
Some applications have come to the fuslon
lsts for speakers, but Judge Sullivan said
this morning 'that It was not his purpose
to do any ta'.klng, that ha was bending
his efforts to carry the republican Third
ward of Columbus.
In the meantime the republicans of this
county are getting busy and have opened
headquarters at the LIndell hotel, merely
as a place to congregate, as there Is abso
lutely no hope of any fusions coming first
under the wire here.
Governor's Children Kept In.
The children of Governor and Mrs.
Mickey are leading strenuous lives these
days because thoy are. their parents' chil
dren. Since the attempt was made to kid
nap one of them last week none of the
children are permitted to leave the yard
after dark and the young ones are kept
under close watch all day. Governor Mickey
Is firmly of the opinion that It was a real
attempt at kidnaping and he has Im
plicit faith In the story of the trusty at
the penitentiary that the plot was hatched
there. This trusty has only a short time
to serve and therefore would have no ob
ject In securing the good will of the gov
ernor by telling such a story.
The police are at work -on the case and
they believe they have a clue that might
lead to an arrest. They say that the man
who carried the child away had a rig
hitched In the neighborhood and that they
know from what livery sUble It was hired
They have a description of this man, but
whether they Intend to arrest him or
whether he is In town they will not say.
The children are unable to give an accurate
description - of the man. . , . ,
Defend Tnblthn Home.
The special advisory board that assisted
the City Charity association In making Irs
Investigation of the Tabltha home today
attacked the report of the commutes. Th i
board consists of Dr. Bailey, who for fir
teen years has been the home physician;
Kev. B. X. White a dally visitor at the
boms,, and a bookkeeper. The reply of
this board, to the report of the investigat
ing committee takes exceptions to the claim
that the Institution is not up to the stand
erd of charitable homes and points oat
many Improvements that have been made
recently In the house and I its cjntluoU It
charges also ' that the offensive part of
tire committee repewt, relating to the food
supply, was ordered cut out by the preil
dent of the Investigating committee, but
for soma reason was not cut out. The re
port also states that many other Improve-
ments contemplated w.ll have to be post
poned because of the interference of the
charity association.
The charge that cheap help la employed
la resented. The help Is furnished by chil
dren who have grown up In the home, and
It la claimed this Is mora loyal and efllo ent
than any that could bs procured. A denial
la entered to the charge that the Inmates
are sometimes scantily clothed. A large
storeroom with plenty of clothing was
shown the members of the committee.
Dr. Bailey says the sanitation of the
home Is above the average of such institu
tions, and ths conclusion of the committee
to the contrary Is warmly attacked. The
cost of medicines Is but cents per capita,
and there has been but one death during
the year a baby, brought there In a bad
state of health. The committee via made
aware of all these facts, but Ignored them.
The charge that the school work Is neg
lected Is vigorously controverted. School Is
In session most of the year and none of
school ag ara kept out continuous. y,
Svenlngs are spent In study and well qual
ified teachers employed. There are no more
obedient and ti actable children, the com
mittee asserts, than can be found here.
and the report to the contrary Is vigor
ously assailed. It Is based. It is said, on
ths stories of discharged employes who
could not maintain discipline. The asser
tion Is made that this man Wleae often
left the children's backs bloody and to this
day some of them carry his marks. They
did not report this treatment to the super
intendent because they were not tattlers
and It was some time before the head of
the home was aware of It. Then It was
promptly suppressed. This reign of terror
did not exist before he cams, it la claimed.
and has not existed since.
The Investigating committee Is rebuked
because It had not a word of protest
against Wleee's tale of going Into a young
woman's sleeping apartment, upsetting her

bed and flogging her In her night clothes.
It Is asserted he wss the only cruel em
ploye ever on the place.
Ko Che ore for Immorality.
It Is Insisted that a sufficient apology
for the slanderous statement about the
lack of watch to prevent Immorality In
the dormitories could not be made. There
are five adult supervisors. The boys' and
girls' dormitories are on different floors,
and as twenty-five are In each the oppor
tunity for Immorality Is practically none
at all.
No boy 'over 14 Is held If he desires to
go, and children are placed out with grunt
care. Other parts of the report are an
swered In similar style. All moneys re
ceived are accounted for. The demand was
made that Mr. Heiner do away with the
old board and substitute a new one, the
selections to be made with his assistance.
This Is declared to be so unjust and beside
the fact that It Is easy to see a sinister
motive. There can be no doubt. It Is
sserted, that the charity organisation de
sired to control the home. In conclusion
It Is claimed ths committee made no writ
ten charges upon which evidence might
be adduced, that there was extreme preju
dice when ths Investigation was becun.
that hearsay evidence was admitted, that
none of the evidence was read to the man
agers, as promised, that It refused .to ex
amine witnesses for the home. It In as
serted the committee Is practically Ignorant
of the home, that they believed Its enemies
and that one told Mr. and Mrs. Heiner:
We don't believe you folks out here."
Justice from such a committee was Im
possible.
Mining; Deal nt Homo.
Ths latest In financial affairs came to
light In police court this morning when It
became known that a gigantlo flnanoial
scheme was on foot at the Home of the
Friendless to corner a certain amount of
mining stock to the end that the inmates
might get rich quick. From the meager
Information that eome forth It appears
that Miss Caroline Blodgett, an Inmate of
the home, was the head and front of the
corporation anl as fsst as the Inmates
got their hands on the shekels they were
to deposit them with her and when they
got enough on deposit she was to turn
over to them the mining stock.
Mrs. Ragelln, a blind autoharpist. In
vested 137 In stock, and then incidentally
had Miss Blodgett arrested for taking 14
from her purse. After this arrest ths
blind woman saw a light and she talked
about the mining deal and wondered why
she failed to get her stock certificate. She
dismissed the $4 deal and was told that
she had failed to pay In a sufficient amount
of money to get her stock. All parties quit
good friends.
Federal Bnlldlnsr Plans.
All Lincoln Is rejoicing today because an
other step has been taken In the direction
of that new postofflce. Custodian L. L.
Llndsey of the government building re
celved this morning the plans of the build
ing from J. u. Taylor, the supervising
architect. The new structure will be
erected at Tenth and P street, and will
face Tenth street The plans received
merly cover the floor space and give no Idea
of the outward appearance of the building.
i no plans were changed slightly by Mr.
Llndsey, and will be returned to Washing
ton tomorrow.
The plans apparently contemplate a build
ing suxiso reet, outside dimensions. They
are so drawn that they clearly Indicate that
the greater frontage will be on Tenth
street. The only other corner they would
fit would be Ninth and P streets, but this
arrangement would throw the side entrance
opposite the Lincoln hotel, and It Is not
thought this was In contemplation.
Boring Ip Milk Routes.
The Milk trust recently organised In this
cuy wim a view It Is claimed, of sunnlvln
ii.e peopie wun pure mutt, is gradually gob
unrig up ins uttle dealers, and In a short
time It Is expected all the little dealers will
be out cf business. It is said today -that
ten of the smaller fry had sold out, and
that the organisation had made contracts
wun me larmers Who had supplied the lit
i.o aeaiers. ine contract specifies that

mat one who had sold out to the trust had
aireaay made arrangements whereby he
was to go Into partnership with another
Waaler, and that war with the trust would

The Barber Asphalt company of Wash

was reorganized. The capital stock la

HOWE POPULAR IN ENGLAND
Kebrnskaa Comes In for Inndatloas
y the Press of Shot
eld. The transfer of Church Howe, known
from one end of Nebraska to the other,
from the position of United States consul
at Sheffield, England, to that of consul
general at Antwerp, called for a good deal
of comment In the Sheffield papers. From
ths tone of thess comments It Is evident
that In his three years' stay In Sheffield
the Nebraakan has made many friends
among the English who Join In congratu
lating him up his promotion.
This Is taken from the news columns of
the Sheffield Dally Independent:
The rumor which has gained currency
during the past few days that Major
Church Howe, who for three years has held
the Dosltion of American consul in rsnei-
tleld, was shortly to leave the city, turns
out to be only too accurate, as the major
yesterday received official notification of
his promotion to tne consui-generaisnip oi
Antwern. The news wl I be received with
considerable regret by the large circle of
people with whom his duties nave Drougni
him Into contact, but at the same time
hearty congratulations will be extended to
him on hie very substantial prerermeni.
Up to the present time political Influence
has had Its weight In the appointment of
Americana to consular positions, Just as Is
the case In European countries, but Presi
dent Roosevelt has recently signified his
Intention of reorganizing the consular serv
ice, weeding out the unsuitable men and
promoting to the higher positions those
who had done good work as consuls. Major
Church Howe's fine record In Sheffield has
shown that he possesses all the qualities
t-eresaary to his position, and it is a strong
Mbute to the esteem In which he Is he. a
by his government that under the new
regime he should have been promoted to
so Important a post as that which has been
rendered vacant by cleat n at Antwerp, ins
ronpul-generalship of that city ranks In
ferlor to those of London, Paris and Berlin
only, and It will readily be realized that
the advance is a very big one. Until he
receives his papers the major will not
know the date on which he will leave Shef
field for the sphere of his new duties, but
he has received Intimation that he Is to
be succeeded here by Mr. Charles N. Dan
iels of Connecticut.
Malor Church Howe, who comes from Au
burn. Neb., has now been six years In the
consular service. His earlier days were
spent in the west, where he devoted himself
to railroad btilldlna. farming- and the like.
It was sfter his retirement from business
th'it President McKlnley offered him the
Dost of consul at Palermo. Italv. He was
there from 1897 to 19(10, during the time of
the Spanish-American war. Leaving the
charms of Italy behind, he accented the
promotion offered him In the Sheffield sp-j
nolntment. and he commenced his duties J
here on October 1, 1900. The relations at I
that time existing between Sheffield manu
facturers and the American government
were not all that could be desired. There was
friction, and the major had to set to work
to subdue It. He succeeded In his endeav
ors, and today everything runs perfectly
smooth and without the least trouble. The
exports from Sheffield to the United States
have Increased very largely, the exports of
unmanufactured steel Inst year showing a
remarkable advance. To bring this about
the major had to entirely change the man
ner of doing business; he tried to give the
people a business administration, to treat
them as business men, and to see that his
government made the conditions just as
pleasant for the manufacturers shipping to
the states as was possible. The result nas
been more than satisfactory, for without
doing the slightest thing detrimental to the
Interests of his own country he hss suc
ceeded In pleasing the manufacturers he
has had to deal with. The Increased ex
ports from Sheffield to the states lire to
some extent accounted for by the state of
the markets, but Indirectly they will owe
something to the efforts of the major to
facilitate the commerce going on between
this city and America, He himself nttrlb.
utes the restoration yof good relations be
tween manufacturers and the United States
f:overnment to the introduction of "business
Ines." "I have adopted the means of busi
ness In vogue In my own country," he said
In the course of a conversation which a
Sheffield Dally Independent representative
had with him last night at his residence,
Brookslde House, "and they have proved
very satisfactory."
Major Church Howe has appreciated Shef
field even as Sheffield has appreciated him,
"I like your city." he said to our repre
sentative, "and I would not leave It for any
other place In Great Britain. I like the
Sheffield people, too. I never met kinder
hearted Individuals, snd I go away with
considerable regret. So far as my new posi
tion Is concerned, however, it Is a much
more Important one than that I have held
h.ro - In fai-t th. fTnl,1 fllatM itnH frtnr
times the trade with Antwerp that sne does
with Sheffield. And then It Is the consul
generalship that Is offered me; we have
only one consul general In a country.
Referring to the Increase In exports from
Sheffield to the states, the major said that
Increasingly large quantities of steel were
shipped to the United States, despite the
fact that his country Is the largest steel
producing country In the world. "I think
the extraordinary amount of building In
progress will to some extent explain it, ha
said. "I was In New York a few weeks
ago, and I saw several twenty-storr build
ings In course of erection, which wsro then
stmnlv steel skeletons. We nut tin build
ings In America a trifle more expeditiously
than you do In Sheffield," he added. "It
seems to be a matter of years here. On
the question of cutlery, the consul spoke
of the holding which the best known Shef
field makes still retain in the states ss else
where. The great hotels all have Sheffield
cutlery In preference to any other. It Is
lust an Ineradicable feellne. "Why. when
I was a boy," he said, "we used to hang
our stockings up at Christmas, and I re
member that one year I found In mine a
knife marked 'Rodgers, whilst my ?.rothor
received a knife which was American. My
brother was so disgusted that he flung ills
across the room."
Reverting to the Sheffield of today, Major
Church Howe had a few words to say
about the tramways. "You have a fine
service here." he said, "but I sometimes
think you don't allow your -employes t use
their discretion sufficiently. Rain or shine
with you. your conductor has to put so
many people Inside the car, and no more.
In America there Is no limit. If you can
manage to hang on by the skin of your
teeth you may ride. Still the service Is a
very creditable one. and Is superior to some
of ours In Its management." Speaking of
unemeid men and politicians, me major naa
warm words of tribute for the duke of Nor
folk snd the master cutler. "The duke."
he said. "Is perhaps better liked In America
than any other Engllshmsn. He Is a man
of such wonderful energy." Of the master
cutler, "He Is one of the most capable men
I have ever met. He Is well Informed on
everything. I think he would make en
Ideal member of Parliament."
The malor did not care to speak on tariffs.
but remarked that the present state of
things In England commercially was not
satisfactory. He thought some sort of ex
periment would have to be tried. He thousht
Mr. Chamberlain had felt the pulse of the
nation and thought something was wsnti'ie;.
On a previous occasion he has remarked In
Sheffield that the American frellng la rather
one of wonder that Great Hritaln, consider
ing the facts of the economic situation to
day, has not sooner struck out sn expert
mental line. Whatever happened In thi
future, however, snld the malor last nlvht.
he thought England snd America were fast
friends, and he also thought that the other
nations or Kurooe naa reooe-nizea mis rsci,
We underxtend that previous to his lesv-
Ing Sheffield Ms'or Church Howe Is to be
entertained to dinner bv a number of his
many friends In the city. When he goes
sway he will certainly take with him the
good wishes of quite s host of people whom
his geniality, tact and business capabilities
heve secured to him.
Under the caption, "Current Topics," tha
Sheffield Telegraph says: .
The promotion of Major Church Howe,
the United Slates consul at Sheffield, to
the Important position of consul general
Antwerp, Is announced In snother column.
During ths i three years the major ha
bft-u in tills city he has Won the respect
and regard of all claaaes of citizens, by
whom the news of his well-deaerved ad
vaiicement will be received with pleasure.
mingled, however, with regret st his de
parture from smongat us. Major Howe,
who retired from business and entered the
consular service partly through consider
ation J health, had his first position at
Palermo, from whlih he came to Sheffield,
where he found the relations between ex-
Kirters In the Sheffield dlatilct and the
ew York customs authority somewhat
strained. He set himself at once to In
vesllgate the cause, and In a short time
the grievances complained of were put on
a proper business footing, and have con
tinued In a satisfactory condition ever
since. Major Howe's promotion comes to
him entirely unsought, and under cir
cumstances which add to the distinction
of the appointment In offering our hearty
eong rat illations la Major Hons, e axe
certain the people of Sheffield will )ln
us In wishing hln good health and every
hspplness In his new sphere of responsi
bility and honor.
Tha Telegraph says In Its news columns:
We understand that Major Church Howe,
who has been X'nlted States consul In
Sheffield for the last three years, has been
promoted o the post of consul general at
Antwerp, sn appointment of much dis
tinction, ranking very high In the State's
consular service. The promotion has come
unsought, and under very flattering cir
cumstances. Some time ago M'resldent
Roosevelt announced his determination to
reform the United States consular service
by only appointing men whose fitness for
the posts had been proved, and by pro
moting only those consuls who had done
good work, Appointment and promotion
were to depend upon capacity and good
work, and not upon political or other out
side Influences. It Is on this basis that
Major Church Howe goes to an appoint
ment that perhaps ranks before all similar
posts In Kurope, except lxndon, Paris ann
Berlin. He will leave Sheffield early next
month.
When Major Church Howe cams to Bhef
fleld he found friction between the ex
porters snd the customs authorities In New
York. He received a deputation from the
Chamber of Commerce, grievances were
investigated and, as a result, matters were
put on a business rooting, and tne pieas
antest relations have existed ever since.
There will be great regret In Sheffield at
losing the genial presence and business
sptltude of Major Church Howe, but every
one will rejoice that promotion by merit
Is sending him to a superior appointment.
The new consul for Sheffield will be Mr.
Charles N. Daniels of Connecticut
