Over 6O0 school ma'ams, who Monday
will begin a united reign over Omaha
youth, gathered Saturday morning In the
assembly room In the city hall for the an
nual general meeting which always p re
reeds the opening of school. Between 8
and 9 o'clock the corridors of the city hall
wer crowded with teachers, and It took
the elevators over an hour to land them all
safely on the fifth floor.
Superintendent Davidson addressed the
teachers on the progress of manual train
ing work In the Omaha schools. He de
clared the purpose of the department Is to
combine the salient festures of a number
of different manual training systems and
develop in the pupils skill, utility and
aesthetic sense. He also explained the
division of the work under the four ad
ditional teachers attached to this branch
of instruction.
"The one word which we want to write
In plain sight this year," he said. "m 'prog

Several Nebraska delegates to the meet

Portland. Me., have returned. They are:
Ralph W. Breckenridge, John L. Webster,
W. F. Gurley. C. L. Dundey, F. A. Brogan,
V. II. Matters, W. D. McHugh and J. A. C.
Kennedy. These delegates have not re
turned: General Manderson of Qmaha,
George D. Ayres, Ernest B. Conant, George
P. Costlgan, Jr., W. G. Hastings and Frank
M. Hall of Lincoln.
Ralph W. Breckenridge, chairman of the
committee on Insurance, says:
"The committee on Insurance does not
wish to forecast any future action on even
tho four accepted propositions, nor would
It be prudent to do so until the new com
mittees are appointed by the new national
officers."
The Omaha delegates are profuse In their
expressions of the success of the session
and are of the opinion that much good
will come of It In remedial legislation along
all lines of public policy and economics.
HORSES AND CHURCH CLASH

When will the state convention of Chris
tian churches be held?
Although it has been set for October 11,
12 and 13 and the churches of Nebraska
have been Invited to meet In Omaha on
those days, the members of the entertaln
nfent committee are j"up In the air."
Through a misunderstanding with the Au
ditorium authorities, they set their con
vention Just before the Horse Show, which
begins October 14. As it requires a week
to prepare the building for the show, the
church people cannot have the building
unless the Horse Show exhibitors allow
them to have the tan bark arena for the
three days Just prior to the show, which
Isn't likely.
The Horse Show managers have a con
tract with the Auditorium and the church
hasn't. It seems likely that the church
will find It necessary to set Its dates for
ward to October 4, 6 and C. About 6,000
people are expected.

The pew Burlington extension into Wyo

mines and speculation Is now rife as to
how much farther the line will be built.
It is the general opinion this line Is simply
a feeder reaching out to Join the line at the
south at Guernsey and thus make a direct
connection between the south and the Big
Horn Basin country and at the same time
furnish a second track to connect the main
systems of the Burlington In Nebraska
with the Northern Paciflo in Montana. This
line has come to be almost a necessity be
cause of the enormous business which is
exchanged between the two Hill lines at
Billings and which at times is so heavy is
to virtually block the road.

Donahna.
"Since March 1. the Board of Eire and
Police Commissioners has appointed quite
a number of new policemen," said Chief
Donahue, "and yet at present the total In
crease of patrolmen since that date Is
only four. That la partly, on account of
resignations, but largely on account of dis
missals from the. service. The dismissals
have not been confined to the newly ap
pointed men, but there has been a weeding
out of Incompetents along the line. The
result Is that while the total Increase In
numbers Is small, standards have been
raised and the general efficiency of the
department has been Increased materially."

PORCH IDEA STILL REIGNS
Omaha Architect Are Drawing Plana
for Plenty of Air Space.
0ITE MAN HAS VERANDAH HOUSE

Side and Rsplalna Ills
Pnrpose.
An Omaha architect has made a computa
tion of the porch room provided In plans
which he has drawn up for clients during
a certain month this year compared with
the same month two years ago. He finds
that the porch space provided is more than
two times as great In proportion now as It
was at that time.
"People are going In for lots of outdoor
open air space," he says. "That 1 the
distinctive trend of architecture In this
part of the world, In my opinion. We are
getting back to nature, and the people are
taking an extremely sensible and practical
view of building homes. The porches are
wide and extensive and In some houses they
have built them on the second story, open
ing out by a deep window from a bedroom.
These are to be used by the owners and
their families or such members of the
family as like plenty of fresh air for sleep
ing quarters.
"I am working on plans for a client now
which are rather original. He la going to
build what he calls a "verandah house. It
might as well be called a "house verandah,'
for there Is about as much of the one as
the other. It is to be built In the bungalo
style; that Is. all on one floor. There are
to be three sleeping rooms, kitchen, dining
room, living room and parlor. On one side
of the house Is a verandah lfix30 feet in
size, and all around the rest of the house
runs a porch six feet wide, which my client
calls a "promenade." He says he Intends
to take a five-mile walk every evening
around his house, and he won't be hindered
by rain, snow, sleet or any other vicissitude
of the weather. It Is a very good idea for
a house I think and Indicates in a some
what exaggerated degree the trend of build

Thomas H. Norton, writing from Chem
nlU, says that all trades dependent more
or less udou gratifying the demands of
taste and the esthetic sense are liable to
fluctuations following the gradual altera
tions In general standards of art and the
more variable whims and caprices of fash
Ion. He furnishes these German examples:
The alove trade of this section is an ex
ample of the latter class. The recent fash
Ion of short sleeves In woman's attire has
led to a hitherto unexampled world-wide
demand for long gloves of all materials
and designs. This Involves more work In
the preparation of the Individual glove, and
manufacturers have been forced to Increase
the number of their machines, to enlarge
the staff of operatives and to Issue greater

mean, here In Saxony, a nost oi cosuy

Our illustration shiws the kind ot o fur

whole effect is charming In the beauty of
Its simplicity. A brick wall topped by an
iron fence surrounds the yard.
Omaha architects report that there Is a
demand for plans for garages. These come
particularly from the suhurbsn or country
dwellers, who are too far from the public
garages and who depend on their machines
In getting to and from the city. A garage
(or "motor house," as the building Is more
generally called In the east and England)
can be built with a small expenditure and
In such a manner as to be a real orna
ment to the grounds on which It stands.
The style should be mnde to conform to
that of the other buildings. One of the
prettiest designs shown by architects Is the
half timber style. This Is made with
structural timbers, the Interstices being
filled with brick. Other designs show mo
tor houses made of concrete, of brick, of
frame and of frame and shingle combined.
The main thing to be desired In the motor
house Is an even temperature, to prevent
damage to metal and leather parts and to
paint. A cement floor is best In the house,
and a pit for repairing the motor may be
added If the motor Is one of the type which
cannot be repaired from the top.
"Now Is the season of their discontent,"
said Secretary C. M. Eaton of the Omaha
Stove Repair works. He referred to the
householders of Omaha who have let the
summer pass without seeing that their
heating plants were In good order. "Most
people are like the grasshoppers that
danced all summer and In the fall came
to the a wis with their tale of sorrow. We
act the part of the ants In this case and
we are glad to do it because it Is our busi
ness. The rush is on now and will con
tinue until the winter Is well advanced."
The number of apartment houses and
flats being erected In Omaha Is a barome
ter of the rise of property and rental
value In the city and an indication of tho
sure swing toward metropolitanlRm. As
long as a city is small and property cheap
It does not pay to erect flats. But when
values go up, when cheap lots become
farther and farther from the city, the
demand arises for the flat and the apart
ment house. A great many of them are
being built In various parts of the city
and they are being rented before the walls
a a up. The tenants move In before the
plasterers are out and take possession In
a manner that shows the scarcity of such
houses In comparison with the demand.
The style of the houses, too, Is to be
commended. They are not the hideous
things absolutely devoid of architectural
beauty which disfigure and make monoto
nous miles and miles of the streets of
such cities as Philadelphia. The Omaha
apartment houses have plots of green
grass and flower beds to relieve them In
In front, with porcnes both In front and
I to carefully consider the situation and
ascertain whether any measures can be
taken to relieve the stagnation In tho
group of trades directly Involved. The
minister of the Interior recently called
upon the Chemnlti chamber of Industry
for a full report upon the matter, with
recommendatio ia. (Chemnlts, like other
German cities, has In addition to Its
chamber of commerce also a chamber of
Industry Gewerbe-Kammer directly rep
resenting. In the productive Industries,
both labor and capital.) The chamber
has Just communicated its report to the
minister. The following is a summary of
Its 'conclusions:
In regard to such upholsterer's acces
sories as are produced by a branch of the
so-called passementerie manufacture, there
Is no question on the part of the trade
but that the tendency of modern art la
completely opposed to the further utiliza
tion of their creation. This Is strongly
marked In .the costlier forms of furniture,
less so In the cheaper forms. The chief
cause is the demand for smooth, even
surfaces. In harmony with the prevailing
canons of taste. In the category of less
expensive furniture the unwillingness to
pay present prices for trimmings of good
quality has limited the use to some extent.
Upholsterers complains that heavy
fringes, tassels, and similar accessories,
which formerly gave them such remu
nerative employment, now are completely
banished or are replaced by modest, inex
pensive edgings. I'ntil recently they were
frequently called upon to undertake com
plicated designs of folded stuffs In the
Interior decorations or rooms which In
volved preliminary sketches and a high
grade of artistic ability In the execution
of the plans. The present style of decora
tion calls for simple materials, free from
folds, with a limited amount of embroid
ery, which are found ready-made In stores
and Involve no special ability In arranging.
Plaster decorators and wood carvers
and turners state that their trades have all
suffered seriously from the prevalent
fashion tor smooth surfaces on furniture
and In decorative architectural features.
The chamber has appointed a special
commission of experts to study the case,
and the opinions of the members of this
commission are worthy of note. One
member, an architect and professor in
the technical college, , declared that from
the hygienic standpoint he was strongly
opposed to any return to former styles
and in favor of extreme simplicity In all
Furnaces for Your
select a standard make. Samples .are dan
gerous. You can buy a sample hat, coat
or dress, for when It goes out of fashion
they can be given to the poor, but your
stove, range or furnace ought to last a
lifetime, and if new parts are needed the
standard make can always be bad. The
most deceptive article In the world la the
so-called aheet steel. It is made In all
thicknesses from No. SO, which ia about aa

behind and enough of a back yard so the
tenants don't need to hang things out on
the roof to dry or to "air." These build
ings are an ornament to Omaha, a con
venience to those who want to live "close
In," and certainly a profitable Investment
to their builders."
"There Is a great decorative value In
vines," said an Omaha gardener. "I don't
know why more of them are not used In
Omaha. We have the climate here to
make them thrive and they Improve the
appearance of any house, no matter how
handsome or how humble It Is.
"Tne best vines for walls are clematis
and dutchman's pipe. They grow rapidly
and the clematis bears flowers which have
great beauty and plenty of fragrance. On
a north wall the English Ivy Is good. It
does not thrive where the hot sun will
strike it and make the wall hot. That
seems to shrivel the tendrils by which It
holds on.
"Such vines sre also excellent for en
closing porches. The clematis Is quite
suitable for this purpose. The crimson
rambler Is an excellent variety of rose to
plant around porches. Honeysuckles, of
course, every one knows about. The Idea
that these vines 'draw mosquitoes' or
'make walls damp' Is erroneous. They
protect walls from rain. Their leaves are
so arranged that after a rain the walls
will be found perfectly dry. The heat of
the sun, on the other hand, goes through
the leaves and Instills the proper amount
of warmth to take away any dampness
which may come from the atmosphere."
A very pretty effect has been produced
on several Omaha houses by building the
second story of plain cement and painting
It In some pretty tint. A light green used
on one home looks beautiful and Is restful
to the eye and senses. Special paints are
sold for painting cement walls.
The present high prices of all hsrdwood
flooring are suggesting the use of the In
laid or "parquetry" floors, which cost but
a trifle more and are much more beautiful.
Anticipating the demand In this line, Mr.
F. M. Hamllng has Induced an expert
floor layer from the east to locate here,
and he will be ready to do business at
once. See the advertisement of the Par
quetry Floor company In this Issue.
The newcomer, Mr. B. F. Bohren, as
sures us that there Is no practical objec
tion to these handsome floors except the
high prices which have been demanded
heretofore and which he will materially
reduce.
John O'Connell has Just placed an order
with the John Hussle Hardware company
for the Installation of furnaces In three
houses at Forty-second ana Davenport.
Mr. A. Seastedt has contracted with the
Hussle Hardware company for a hot-air
plant for his building at Thirtieth and
Cass streets.
furnishings. The older styles were dust
collectors and breeding places for disease
germs. -
Another member, the president of the
Industrial Art society, emphasised the
fact that the modern decoration methods
meant more light and a free movement
of air In the home than was formerly the
case. Further, the new movement had
lifted German decorative art from a con
dition of stagnation. In which It waa un
dergoing dry rot, and It was now able to
meet competition In the world'a markets.
It was to be regretted that It Involved
temporary ls tor a group of trades, but
the future development would soon offer
work for the operatives now so seriously
affected.
The commission felt that the passemen
terie manufacture waa not so badly In
jured as were other branches. Its chief
field la in the production of articles for use
In dressmaking, and Its artists should de
vote themselves to preparing designs which
harmonise with the prevalent taste In fur
nishings, and thus create a demand for
suitable products of the Industry.
The commission was, however, unani
mously of the opinion that the tendency
toward simplicity waa being overdone and
was In danger of becoming a fad rather
than a genuine, healthy, artistic develop
ment. Symptoms of the reaction are al
ready visible. The older patterns are now
favored in the orders given for the choicer
grades of silk stuffs employed In uphol
stery. There Is a lessening In the demand
for perfectly smooth and even articles of
furniture.
Projects for Intervention on the part of
the government, by offering prises for de
signs In harmony with the older fashions,
and by Influencing the courses of Instruc
tion In the schools of industrial art, were
rejected as unwise and useless. It waa re
garded as entirely outside the province of
an administration to attempt to stem or
guide movements which concern exclusively
questions of public taste and fashion and
to Intrude Into the domain of, esthetics.
This recommendation will undoubtedly be
followed by tho Saxon government.
In the present state of unexampled pros
perity In most of the Industries of Saxony,
especially In the textile branches, the
classes of workmen affected by these
changes will easily find occupation. At
present, however, they are inclined to treat
the apostles of "the simple life" with scant
courtesy. Woodcraft.

fered to you for H9 W. you are buying
trouble, not a steel range. A good steel
range of heavy, durable material cannot
be had for less than H0 to bo. but It will
last a lifetime. A gas range Is the very
same thing. Do not buy one because it Is
cheap.. Weight of material is the most Im
portant factor. Your furnace ahould be
selected with equal care. Don't take the
first one you look at. The market la full
of good furnaces and it is overflowing with
poor ones. They all work well for two or
three years, then comes your trouble and
expense. Select three prominent furnace
men; get their ideas of what they have to
offer; tell them you want a furnace for
your own personal use; durability, economy
and ease with which repairs can be made
should be Insisted upon. Do not buy a fur
nace upon the competition plan. It you do
you will be dissatisfied and probably get
altogether a different Job from what you
expected. Get prices from two or three
and then select your furnace, considering
Uatat, quality and Individual merits of each
furnace, but always buy one slse larger
than what Is usually recommended by the
dealer. Every furnace man would be hon
est if you would let Mm. You make them
dishonest by trying to get them to do some
thing for a less price than they caa legiti
mately do Uio work .or. .
