Cheerful Hymie Dies in Hospital Hymie Blalao, 8 years of age, the pet of two Omaha hospitals, died yesterday morning at the Wise Memorial hospital after suffering almost all of his life from an Incurable stomach disorder and hip disease. Little Hymie was known to thousands of persons all over the west who had been at either the Wise Me morial or St. Joseph's hospital, and all remember him as the ray of sunshine that comforted during their illness. He was taken to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Btalac, 2808 Patrick avenue, and will be burled tomorrow in the Jewish, cemetery. Three years ago Mr. Bialac took his child to St. Joseph's hospital for care after physicians had told htm of the hope lessness of the child's trouble and re cently he was transferred to the Wise Memorial hospital., He was able to get around in his little wheel chair, however, and nurses say that his cheerful face and clever sayings did more to hasten the recovery of pa tients than any medicine ever prescribed. Every patient received a visit nearly every morning from little Hymie and his own troubles were never as bad as those of some other patient suffering from nothing more than indisposition. A year ago when a prominent San Fran cisco judge was suddenly ' seized with an attack of appendicitis here and taken to the Wise Memorial hospital, Hymie was his constant oompanlon, and when the judge recovered it was only the refusal of his parents that prevented his adoption. The nurses at Wise Memorial are wear ing crepe today for their little charge and a flower fund has been raised to show the lad's parents the esteem in which he was held.' ' ' ' Pluski0w.es Omaha 360 Days Hard Labor John Pluskl. vagrant, who since Com missioner Ryder's "clean city" rule has been in effect has escaped two times from the street gang, was arrested last night by Patrolmen Goodrich and Psznowski on a charge of suspicious character and again lodged in jail. Pluskl already owes the city of Omaha 360 days of hard labor on the streets. He was first arrested a month and a half ago by Patrolman Ferris upon a charge of vagrancy. An acting police judge gave him ninety days. In some manner he secured release xni a few days later was arrested and sentenced to ninety days more, making 180. Then the "clean city" rule was put into effect and he was given a broom and told to sweep. He evidently misun stood the word "sweep" for "streak" for he had not been out moro than an hour before he "streaked." A charge of drunk enness was lodged against him when he was arrested again and ninety days was jhis sentence and he was again given a ! broom. Five-days ago he took his broom land shovel- and ffed. The broom was found in an' alley and the shovel re covered from a pawnshop where Pluskl jhad secured the price of a drink on It. 'Ninety days was his portion when found .again and the , result ' was ' another es cape. Last night he was arrested, and jin all probability this time he wilt be given another ninety-day sentence and the (opportunity to work out all of the back : pay that is coming to the city. I Confectionery Store : Suffers Loss by Fire ' Nearly fifteen gallons of tee cream was melted and was spoiled last night and nearly $fi0 worth of confectionery and .fruits destroyed when fire broke out In a I rear room of the Dalwll confectionery store at 1824 Cuming street at 1 o'clock 'last night. The entire loss is estimated at about $300. ! Fire company No. 6 responded and j after a fight of nearly an hour had the I blaze "under control. The origin of th jfire Is unknown.

SOME PIONEERS STILL ACTIVE More Than 2,600 Women 'on Preach In This Coantrr, and the Number ts Still Growing;, Women preachers were few a genera tion ago. Their number has increased In recent years with the invasion of all fields of business and professional life by women until now there are in the United States more than 2,600 ordained women preachers. For the most part they belong to the liberal denominations. The Unitarian and Untversallsts faiths claim the major ity of them. Several have been ordained in the Methodist and Congregational churches. Women In the pulpit are posi tively forbidden In the Catholic, Episco pal and Lutheran churches. Many of these women preachers have gained a national and some an inter national reputation. One of the most widely known of them is the Rev. Caro line Bartlett Crane of Kalamazoo, Mich., who preaches not only the creed of tho Unitarian church, but also the gospel of civic cleanliness and who believes that a clean city Ib on the way to be a moral one. So successful has she been in preaching the latter gospel that her reputation is now international. Mrs. Crane was born in Hudson, Wis., about fifty-five years ago, and In all these years she has. as she expresses It herself, been "doing things." After leaving the city schools she was gradu ated from Carthage college In Illinois and later took a post graduate course at the University of Chicago. In 1879 she took up teaching and for five years followed that calling. Besran as a Reporter. Then newspaper work claimed her at tention, and after working as a reporter she became the city editor of a small weekly paper in Wisconsin. From news paper work she went to the ministry, and after her ordination became the pastor of All Souls' church at Sioux Falls, S. D. She preached on Sundays and did newspaper work during the week. From Sioux Falls she went to Oshkosh, Wis., for a short time and then to Kalamazoo to take charge of the First Unitarian church. Arriving at Kalamazoo she found only a handful of people in her new church. She began the work of building up her congregation, and so well did she suc ceed that soon a new church was needed and erected. Then in 1883 she established the People's church, a creedless, 'institu tional organization in which she wad ordained "pastor of liberal religion." The underlying principle of the church is personal and civil betterment, and in order to Interest people and educate them she established classes In manual train ing, a gymnasium and domestic science classes, which taught marketing, house keeping and sewing. These classes were so successful that they were Incorporated In the Kalamazoo public school system. After three years of successful pastor ship she was married to Dr. A. W. Crane, a physician of Kalamazoo, and together they continued the work. With her church well established Mrs. Crane turned her at tention to cleaning up the town and started various municipal reforms. Ons day she photographed a number of back yard scenes and then in a lecture In her church showed the pictures on the screen. Inside of twenty-four hours there was a general cleaning of back yards in town. Then hotels, business places and public in stitutions were investigated, the waste of the Organized charities was stopped and sanitary conditions were Improved. A new savings bank was organized and soon Kalamazoo became a model town. Fight for Meat Inspection. Mrs. Crane and some of the other lead ing women of Kalamazoo investigated the slaughter houses of the town and did not like what they saw. Finding the same Iconditions In Lansing, Grand Rapids and other towns of the state Mrs. Crane had a bill introduced in the state legis lature to remedy matters. Hearing one night that the bill was about to be de feated she got out of bed, dressed and took a train for Lansing, writing on the way thither a statement of the reasons why the bill should be passed. In the morning she had the statement printed and saw that a copy was laid on the desk of each legislator. Getting the privilege of the floor she spoke for her own bill, the result being that it passed. 61 to 18, and Kalamazoo got meat inspec tion. This made her famous, and soon other cities began asking for her advice in re gard to questions of municipal house cleaning, and now hardly a week passes but she travels to some city to study us needs. Recently, speaking in Chicago, aha denounced the unsanitary conditions of the tenement districts of the large cities. With all her work for civic re form aha keeps up her preaching, and last year she preached in several pulpits abroad. Firat Still Active. The first woman to become a minister In the United States was the Rev. An toinette Blackwell, who waa ordained in the Congregational church In 1853. Later she ohanged her faith and became' V Unitarian and now preaches once a month in All Souls church at Elizabeth, N. J Antoinette Louise Brown was born In Henrietta, N..T. After her graduation at Oberlin College she determined to be come a minister and asked to be enrolled a student in the Oberlin Theological Seminary,. The. professors opposed her en account of her sex, but she won her point and in 1B4S preached her first ser mon In her native town. Her first church wai at . South Butler, N. T. She was married to Dr. Samuel Blackwell. Al though the mother of . several children and the wife of a busy physician she still continued to preach, and now, at the age of $7 years, la as interested and active in her church work as the waa years ago. She ia an ardent believer in votes for women. Two other successful preachers are the Rev. Marlon Murdock, and the Rev. Florenoe Buck, who have the joint pas torate of the First Unitarian Church In Oshkosh, Wis., which Taa formerly pre sided over by Mrs. Crane. At one time Mrs, Buok waa the pastor of Unity Uni tarian Church of Chicago. Where gome Tfote Work. Chicago has only one woman preacher Just now, the Rev.

The other De3 Moines woman preacher, the Rev. Eleanor Gor don, was ordained in 1889. She is a leader In reform movements. Rev Anna M. Shaw, who is Eng lish by birth, was brought up In the backwoods of Michigan, having come to this country with ner parents when 3 years of age. When 15 she was teaching In a country school. Having determined to become a preacher she entered Boston university to study for the ministry of the Methodist church. After graduation she preached for seven years in Congre gational and Methodist churches. She had been merely licensed as a preacher and when she applied for ordination it was refused by the Methodist Episcopal church on account of her sex. She then applied to the Methodist Protestant church and was the first woman to be ordained in that denomination. Next she took up the study of medi cine and received her degree of M. D. Miss Shaw is an ardent suffragist. Fifty Years In Pulpit. For fifty years Rev. Olympla Brown of Racine, Wis., has been preaching from a Unlversalist pulpit, having been or dained In 1853. She held sevoral pastor ates in the east before going to the cen tral states and haa leotured in almost every state in the union in the cause of woman's rights. She was a close friend of the late Susan B. Anthony. In the ariv '70s she was married to John Henry Wlllia of Racine, who is entirely in sym pathy with her ideas of woman s inde pendence. A curious feature of their marriage was that Mr. Willis agreed to his wife's destre to keep her own name and to be known not as Mrs. Willis, but at Mrs. Brown. Rev. Phoebe Ann Hannaford de lights to tell how she was the first tunmatl nreacher to perform the mar- risge service and she believes herself to be the only woman preacher wtio ornci ated at the marriage of her own daugh ter. She also had the pleasure of or daining her own son. She was the first tmmui to act as chaplain of a state legislature. This was while she was pas- nr nf a church in New waven, onn. The New Haven ministers were Invited to undertake the duties of chaplain in the Connecticut legislature and Mrs. Hannaford took her turn with the men preachers.

AFFAIRS ATJOUTH OMAHA School Board and City Treasurer Differ Over Funds. SCHOOL BUILDING IS STOPPED Work on C'orrlarnn School Ceases Becatue Glllln Will Not Pay War rant -Uurfflur Caught Loot ing House ut Avery. Although the school authorities assert that there is nearly $10,000 of school' money upon deposit in the ouliding fund of the school district, Treasurer John Gllllti han refused to cash a warrant for $900 drawn to John Winters, contractor, for the new Corrlgan school addition. As a result Winters has stopped work upon the new building and it is quite probable that the building will not be ready be fore late fall. The case has been placed In the hands of Attorney A. C. Pancoast of the school board and Glllln will prob ably be mandamused to honor the war rant drawn to Winters upon the school building fund. Glllln is, moreover, in danger of being sued upon his bond for the damages sustained by the school dis trict through the delay caused by tha suspension of building operations by the contractor, it is said. The work upon the new addition to the Corrlgan school was suspended last Sat urday after the treasurer had refused t j cash a warrant drawn on the building fund for JM0. Interviewed upon the mat ter. Secretary of the School Board James Sullivan refused to discuss the affair at all, saying it had been placed In the hands of the attorney for the school board. It Is asserted that the treasurer claims that the outstanding warrants against the school fund should he cashed before that of the building fund. Those who should know say that the treasurer keeps all the school money In one fund, while others say that there Is actuallv 119,000 on deposit in the Live Stock bank BottUd with Crtfwni or Cork Only at t!i Home Plant in St. Loui$ Anheuser-Busch Brewery St. Louis, Mo $11 "550 at 2 per cent, while the school district Is being made to pay 6 per cent for reg istered warrants that could not be cashed for lack of money. It is understood that the school board will have something to say to the treasurer as soon as President E. R, Leigh has returned from his vaca tion. Canght Robbing House.
