(From a Ftaff Correspondent.)
UNCOLN. Oct. 17. (Special. )-Proof
posltlvo of the good work of the hot
lunchea served at the High school bx, mem
bers of the Woman's club Is being given by
the students. This week 1,439 pupils did
their little noon grind at that lunch coun
ter. "The House that Jack Built" Is an
idea of the Woman's club to raise money
to pay back Into the club's treasury the
$250 taken from it to start the lunch room.
The pupils will, beginning Tuesday night.
build that house on three different night
and two stages. They are doing their own
advertising.
Lssrk HaosB Eqslsncst,
Tbe lunch room Is all that could be ex
pected of It and more. During the last
week 1.409 meals were served at an average
cost of 7 cents a meal, and Its duplicate for
variety and wholesomenesa could not have
been found In the city at twice the cost.
The lunch is served in a large room In
which there ar five tables, three of which
seat twenty-four persons and i two have
seat for twenty. Around this room are
places for 150 more, the women easily serv
ing 250 In the room at once. The overflow
Is taken care of In the aclence room. An
other room Is set apart for those pupils
who bring their lunches. and to
them Is served milk, cocoa and soup if they
desire it. The tables are covered with
hite oilcloths, and the silverware and
china is a good and nice as will be found
in any home. The dining room was fixed
up by the board of education and ia white,
with light blue ceiling and wainscoting
and white shelving. In the kitchen Is a
steam table. In front of which Is a table
twenty feet long Upon which are the dishes.
The pupils get what dishes they will re
quire, pass to the steam table, get what
they want, receive a check for It and pass
out to where two cashiers are waiting. Her
they pay for what they have, and then
Into the dining room. As to the efficiency
of the system employed It Is only neces
sary to say that in fifteen minutes last
Monday 330 pupils wer served.
What 1 Faralaaed.
The members of th Board of Education
at lunch there on day this weeV, and
they have notified the Woman's club that
no restaurant In th city could duplicate
the meal for twice th amount charged.
The board said also that any man with
even more than ordinary appetite could be
satisfied by eating what the women charge
11 cents for. But her Is the bill served
Wednesday, which Is aa Indication of what
is served every day: Veal croquettes,
browned In the oven and not fried In lard
or fat; macaroni and cheese; meat pie
In which was mashed potatoes; chocolate
and blano mange, cocoa, milk, bread, vege
table soup. This Is the cost: Meat pie, 6
cents; vegetable soup, I cents for a cup and
t for bowl; dessert, S cents; milk. S cents;
cocoa, t cents; two soda biscuits ar given
with aach bowl of soup. No coffee or tea Is
served. With these prices the lunch room
Is self-sustaining, and It is th Intention of
the women as soon aa posalbl to reduce
th price of milk from t to S cents and
cocoa from S to 1 cents. -
Haw it is Maaascd.
Th kitchen lsNln charge of a woman
caterer who has long had a reputation as
such in Lincoln.. She works from 7 a. in
to d. m. Th entlr lunch room la under
the direction of a committee of the women's
club, of which Mrs. Henry Schleslnger Is
the chairman. Any pupil of th school
or any teacher, or any on connected with
the school. Is at liberty to eat lunch there,
but of course th woman do not cater
to any on ls. When th women club
members conceived th Idea. f th lunch
room they advanced $260 to buy th cooking
utensils, dishes and things needed, and
it la to refund this money to the club that
th play Is to be given by th pupils next
week. At this tun th running expenses
ar easily paid out of th income from
th lunches and should there be a balance
In th treasury at th mid of th year
It will be used to purchase pictures for
the High school walls and with which to
decorate th dining room. Mrs. Schleslnger
and her colleague conduct 'th work af
course without pay.
Mrs. Schleslnger said: "Th lunch room
is proving entirely satisfactory and In
stead of th noise and confusion that we
wer told would b mad by th boys and
girls whil eating, there ia nothing of th !
kind. There la no dining room In any
well regulated hotel that la conducted with
aa little confusion than la th on at the
High school. The boys and girls are Just
perfect little gentlemen and ladles, and it
Is a pleasure to be with them. W try
to give them th same treatment they
would get in their homes and they ar re
paying us well by their courtesy on to
ward th other and to us."

turn green with envy. This last was noth

over th city council. In which th women
took from the mayor his power to appoint
a guardian of the city park and took In
their own hands not only th power to ap
point, but to boss, hold, run, manage, con
duct and have th say so of everything
called th city park. Bom weeks ago th
women made this proposition to th council
snd that body said all right In a kind of
general sort of way. Then last Monday
night Councilman rentier, who Is noted
mere for his nerve than his Judgment, ups
and says to his brothers, " "Bdeath to th
females; we want that park." Did ha get
It? Well, a pin would have msdo a noise
if It had fallen about that time. Those
fellow members of Pentser dropped that
resolution on the table so easy that even
Pentser got scared. They do say he went

THE MARCONI SYSTEM.
Th Improvements Arm Back that It
Will Sooa Beeosna fa Gea
rnl Use.
Marconi sailed for England recently and
is to return within a month. During his
short stay abroad two American and the
English stations will be opened for commer
cial business. Stations In other parts of
the world will soon follow.
Wireless wonders have succeeded on an
other so rapidly of lata that the full sig
nificance of each new invention Is scarcely
appreciated at its full value, yet from the
time in 1896 when Marconi conducted ex
periments in Salisbury Plain before the
authorities of the British postofflce there
has been a steady march of Improvement,
until now there ar eight stations in Amer
ica receiving and sending messages to all
parts of the globe.
Today the British and Italian navies ar
quipped with th Marconi system, and the
Marconi company Is building three stations
for th government of th United States.
Nearly forty transatlantic steamers us
the Marconi system, enabling travelers to
communicate with th land at will, and It
Is only a question of time with th wire
less. Th system Is also being rapidly de
veloped on th Great lakes.
Wireless communication has been con
tinuously maintained with both ahores of
th Atlantic by th Lucania, and wireless
messages havo been successfully sent both
ways across the Atlantic between Cape
Breton and Poldhu. Th Marconi company
reported the Reliance-Shamrock races for
th Associated Press and it has contracted
with th Postal Telegraph company to re
ceive messages at Bagaponack, L. I., for out
going and incoming liners equipped with
the apparatus. Lloyds have adopted th
system exclusively and stations have been
established in Alaska, Labrador, Cape Col
ony, Mozambique, New Zealand and hun
dreds of other far-away places.
Two steamers in collision In the English
channel on a stormy night communicated
with land by Marconi wireless and received
aid. There have been a number of similar
instances whr th wireless prevented the
loss of life and property. Marconi and
Peary have planned the maintenance of
wireless communication between th ships
of th next Polar expedition and the
aledges on their dash for the pole, aa well
aa between the ablpa on their points of de
parture. The tnalamificant Initial coat of the wire
less system as compared with th cable
la a strong financial argument in favor of
the former. A special commutes of the
Fifty-sixth congress estimated the cost of
laying a cable between San Francisco and
Manila at U6,000.000. This proposed cable
could bo paralleled by the Marconi sys
tem for $850,000, leaving a balance in Initial
cost In favor of th wireless of mora than
124,000,000.
It is estimated that th cable would pay
II per cent on the investment, while the
Marconi, assuming that its capacity and
charges are one-half of the cable, would
pay more than 100 per cent on the Invest
ment. It is estimated that one transatlantic
station, working half time, half speed and
at leas than half the present cable charge,
will earn a net profit of S830,9&0. Thero are
fourteen transatlantic cables in the United
States. Should the Marconi system estab
lish fourteen stations the profit would be
over 110,000,000, or 130 per cent ou its pres
ent capital.
When the Upll Telephone stock was first
put upon the market, twenty-flve ears ago,
It went begging at $1 a share, but 'the tl
Inveated Increased to more than U.OuO, and
the profits of an original Investor of I1.0J0
are more than J2.Cuu.ux). The scope of the
wireless system is lder than that of the
Bell telephone. It can ba established la
any place where the telephone can find a
foothold and in localities where wires can
neither be strung nor cables laid.
It Is not unreasonable to assume, there
fore, that great fortunes can be mad 3 by
moderate investments in the MJrconl se
curities and that small investors will be
come independently wealthy within a few
yecr. It is likely that certificates repre
senting 15 wl.l increase in value 200 or even
Suo fold. Tlio prudent mun, with an ey

MAE WOOD HER OWN STORY
Personal Acnocnt of a Woman Who Uu
Bets UnplaaiiDtlj AaTirtisai
BRIGHT, ENERGETIC AND VIVACIOUS
Her Career la Omaha aad How Sfc
Caaa to Adopt the Law aa a
Profession aa Told by
Herself.
Th wide advertisement which Omaha has
had during the past week through the
notoriety Inflicted upon Miss Mae C. Wood,
who formerly resided In this city, In con
nection with the marriage of Senator
Thomas C. Piatt of New York, has natur
ally aroused Interest In the personality of
Ui young woman, who Is readily remem
bered by friends and acquaintances here.
What distinguished her most during her
few years' residence In Omaha was the
fact that she .was pointed out as the
only woman entitled to practice at th bar
in this county. She studied In the law
office of Greene & Baxter, and later had
an office of her own. Bhe waa an expert
stenographer, and recognised as one of the
best among the women stenographers of
the city, and did a great deal of deposition
work. In which ahe waa highly successful
Bhe was for on month employed on Th
Bee In a clerical capacity In the fall of
1897, during which time ah assisted some
in th work of society reporting, th so
ciety editor being F. M. Richardson, and
from the fact that she gathered th ma
terial for th descriptions of th gown
worn at tha Ak-Sar-Ben ball that year ah
wss commonly supposed to have become
th society editor.
Whea She Left Omaha.
Miss Wood left Omaha in 1898 to settl up
the estate of a relative who had made her
one of th heirs and later celebrated her
good fortune by a trip to Europe, entering
the Postofflce department at Washington
as a clerk on her return. In a position for
which she was Indebted to Senator Thurs
ton. She has frequently revisited Omaha,
her last appearance here being about a year
ago, when she spent several weeks renew
ing old acquaintanceships. Those who re
call her remember her as a vivacious and
energetio woman, peculiar chiefly for the
fact that she considered herself as a pro
fessional woman free to disregard many of
th conventionalities and to defy the opin
ions and criticisms of other people.
In th spring of 1896 Th Bee printed a
symposium of responses to an inquiry ad
dressed to the various women law practi
tioners of Nebraska ss to their reasons for
entering the legal profession and the Inci
dents of their first cases In court.. Miss
Wood's pithy contribution to the sym
posium, which was published over her sig
nature, containing aa It does some personal
Information, will, therefore, doubtless be
read with Interest at this time. It reads
follows:
Why She Took I'p Law.
Many reasons might be given why I
decided to enter the legal profession, but
the most potent ones are: An unwise am
bition to step out of the well worn rut In
which women have been ao patiently plod
ding for so many years; I once had a
dream that women themselves would prefer
to consult with a woman, and I thought
that I saw an unlimited field of action in
their behalf for an energetio, ambitious
woman. A natural love for the work and
possibly, too, being a woman, with a
woman's lov for argument, I saw a great
field of labor wherein I could hav th last j
word.
"When I waa a mere Infant, guardian
and friends declared that I ahould become
a teacher, hence my training in echool was
to that end, but fate and I decided other
wise. So. shortly after finishing a course
in an eastern normal school, not having
means to finish a university course, I en
tered a business oolleg and took book
keeping and stenography. On leaving the
business college I applied for and obtained
a position In a law Ann's office In th west
and there began the study of law, con
tinuing for about three years, occasionally
attending lectures at' th Omaha law
school.
'My first case? On morning I was sum
moned to the court house by th bailiff
by the word that the Judge of the criminal'
section had appointed me to defend some
prisoners. With what alacrity I rushed
over to the court house. On my arrival I
found waiting In the office of the judge
three desperate criminals, aged respectively
8. 11 and 12 years, charged with the crime
of grand larceny.
"Amid frequent tears they related to me
the story of th misdemeanor. They as
sured m that It waa th other boy who
was Indicted for th samo crime an older
lad and they "wnt along 'causa he wanted
em to.' All they did was to carry home
some wheels. The oldest boy related his
story first, and by the time th sturdy, fat
little fellow of 8 looked up with his big
eyes full of tears and told me, 'All I don
was to carry horn some wheels, too,' and
'put them In the wood shed, and the police
men came and found them and took them
and me too to the police station,' I was
fully convinced that they were mighty
mean men to arrest such small boys for so
trifling an offense.
"This was in th forenoon of Baturdav.
and as I was convinced that It would be
impossible to have the lads on the witness
stand I went on to prepare th case accord
ingly. For the two succeeding days I
neither ate nor slept. I honestly believe
that I read every decision on grand lar
ceny that was ever decided In the courts
of Nebraska and studied every phase of
me crime from 'intent' to 'malice afore
thought.' Then I prepared a most touch
ing address to the Jury In ray private of
fice, with only the pictured faces of the
poets and Napoleon for an audience. On
Thursday the county attorney concluded to
none the case, and I do not believe the
Juryman for that term of court are con
scious what a narrow escape they had from
being burled 'neath the avalanche of tnv
eloquence. This Is the story of my first case
In the district court at Omaha,
'P- . I am still waiting for my second."

CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE
Trade with Omaha Jobbers Last Week Was
Very Heavy in All Linea,
SEVERAL PRICE CHANGES TOOK EFFECT

Advance Orders (or Bprlna- aad
' Many Are Already Placed.
After the rush and excltemnnf nt AU.ctar.
Ben week trade both In the retail onil
wholesale districts of Omaha seemed rather
ouict last week. As a matter of fact, how-
-vt?r, retailers report DUBiness as being
fully tin to the usual standard at thl Hm
of year, while wholesalers bhv thev untrl a
good deal more stock last week than the
ween oerore. That is owing to the fact that
traveling salesmen have araln returned tn
their respective territories and are meeting;
with excellent success In landlnt? both at
once business and advance orders for spring

whole, every one, from the manufacturer to
the retailer, reports business better this
vear than last, which la saying a good deal.
inis rieing me case there are, or course,
very few complaints of any character, and
a general feeling of confidence Is noted in
future business.
Wholesalers are maklnar a-reat nr mira
tions for spring and expect to carry larger
and better lines than ever before. The
samples which they now have on the road
are meeting with favor In the eyes of re
tailers and the prospects for future busi
ness are consiaerea Dngnter than ever be
fore. There have been about the usual number
of price fluctuations during the week under
review, but at the same time none of them
have been what would be called radical,
though many of them were not exactly an
ticipated. The market as a whole is In a
good, healthy condition, with every pros
pect of its remaining that way for some
time to coma.
Collections are also reported as being- uo
to the usual standard at this time of year.
and in fact there are comparatively few bad
accounts on jobbers' books.
Rolled Oats Inasaally Low.
Wholesale srocera renort oulte a droD In
the price of rolled oats since last report. It
is claimed that the decline Is not war
ranted by existing conditions, but has been
brought about through competition. The
Oatmeal trust as a result has reduced the
price 40 cents per barrel and 10 cents per
case on live-pound packagea It is claimed
that this places tha selling price below the
cost of manufacture, and as a result Job
bers are advising their customers to stock
up while these prices last.
The market on syrups Is also a little
easier than it was a week aco. a alla-ht de
cline having gone Into effect.
There is nothing new to report rearardlng
sugar, as the market Is In practically the
same position it was at last report.
corree is in a very strong position ana
those In a position to know say that all in
dications now point to higher prices on the
good low grade coffees. The crop from
Brazil Is lacking very much In quality, ho
that the better grades will be scarce, and
as the demand la sure to be heavy traders
are preparing for higher prices.
The market on macaerei nas advanced
materially during the last few days. Deal
ers are now paying an advance of ILKku-.OO
per barrel out of the ship over recent quo
tations. Small counts sre practically
cleaned up, very few having been caught on
ine Masaacnuseits coast mis year, diiii
higher prices ar being looked for in the
near future.
The market on codfish is also very strong
and several advances of late have gone into
effect, owing to the extremely small fares
being landed. This has been caused largely
by unfavorable weather on the coaBt and
also by a shortage of bait. Holland herring
Is also in a very strong position, present
rices showing sn advance over tnoBe or
en duvs mo of about S cents per kes. The
demand Is reported unusually large.
The demand for bottled olives, joDoers
say, has increased st a wonderful rate dur
ing the last soverai months, in speaKing
of this feature of the grocery trade a local
Jobbtr said that hta house alone has used
four carloads or olives this season, wnicn
Is more than the combined sales of all
the tohhera a short tlm aao. It Is very
evident that the demand for this class of
goods is assuming glgantio proportions In
the weat and it looks as though olives
would soon be classed as a staple Instead
of a luxury- Only the smallest of country
stores now rail to nave a line oi onvea on
their shelves.
The canned goods market is -81111 very
atrnne- and active. Another advance on
corn has recently gone into effect nwlng to
ine snori yaca anu nrv.r ucnin.
few Backers are able to deliver anywhere
near the amount sold.
Dry Goods I'lrm aad Active. (
Local dry goods Jobbers experienced a
very nice trails last week on all staple
and seasonable lines. Travelfnjr men wero
once more on the rond and found that re
tailers have been enjoying a nice trade and
that their stocks have been going to piece
quite rapidly. As a result they were will
ing to place liberal sorting up orders and
besides mat iiiu lavoruuio uuuoun 101
good demand throughout the full and win
ter haa mail merchants willing to place
advance orders for spring in good seunon.
Salesmen in fact are very confltlent that
they will break all previous records in
advance buslneea unless something should
happen to materially change the general
situation.
There are no market changes to note
since last review. Manufacturers stead
foally refuse to make any concessions for
staple llnea and Jobbers are of the opinion
that th market will continue firm for
many months to coma. There i good
ruasnn for expecting the price of cotton
to stay up and unleas there should be
quite a slump a decline on manufactured
lines would be unwarranted. In view of
the excellent demand there la In sight
jobbers do not sfe how merchants can be
otherwise than safe In placing their orders
at present prices.
Nails Active and Firm.

to say regarding the condition of trade. All

market Is unsettled. Sisal rope has been
advanced ft cent, but Manila remains un
changed. The market on other "staples la In very
much the same position It was a week sgo.
Leather Goods Moving- Freely.
Th demand for leather goods was, If any
thing, better last week than the week be
fore, as traveling men were able to sell
more goods on the road than they did the
week before In the house. Orders were, of
course, not very large, but they were
numerous enough to make the total volume
of business very satisfactory.
A good many advance orders for spring
were also secured, and that part of the
business Is moving along in a very satisfac
tory manner and promises to break last
year's good record.
The demand for rubber clothing Is also
unusually large for this time of the year,
and In fact manufacturers of some lines
find It Impossible to keep up with the enor
mous demand being experienced all over tha
country. ,
Fraits and Prodace.
Frnlts were In brisk demand last week
and it was noticeable that apples sold mor
freely last week than at any time so far
this season. Such lines as peaches snd
plums are. of course, getting scarce, and as
a result people turn their attention more
and more to apples. As will be seen from
tbe quotations below there Is now a large
variety of apples on the market. O rapes
are also In good request, as ar also cran
berries. Winter varieties of pears sell very
readily at J2.25, and will be on the market
for some time.
Vegetables have sold at about tha same
prices all the week, no important changes
having taken place.
The egg market has been firm all th
week, and in fact prices are a trifle higher.
Poultry, on the other hard, has been In big
aiipply and prices are considerably lower.
That is particularly true of heavy spring
chickens, which sell no higher than hens.
Butter Is about the same ss It was a week
ago, and so also are oysters and fish.
