oui hseenbva communi-
caUon in another colum, dress pa
rade has been suspended at the Bar
racks. Smith Cbilds obtained a
jadgmentof $5 and costs yesterday in
the District Court against James
M. Pattee, which is a big tumble
from $50,000. That wasn't much of
noble charity-only $2 50 each !
This afternoon Henry
Homanill trot his horse, "Sleepy
Jim" against Callahan's gray
horse, "George Patchen," from the
Driving Park gate to Homer's Lane,
on a wager of $50. The money is
up, and the race will surely come off.
-An infant son, aged about one
year, of Mr. Furay, station agent
of the Union Pacific at Schuyler,
died last night rt the Wyoming Ho
tel at eleven o'clock, after a month's
eufleringfrom cerebro spinal menin
gitis. The funeral took place
at Elkharn yesterday.
Some of our readers seem to
doubt the statement that Major Bal
combe has become a son of toll, by
joining Harrison Johnson's "Co-operative
Union." That he did so is
an indisputable fact. The Bee's ac
count of his speech, may have been
a little colored, but it nevertheless
was true in substance.
"The Divorced Wife; or Won
and Lost," will be one of the com
edies that will be played by the
Hooley Comedy Company, next
week. It is a new play, Having oeen
presented in but two theaters of the
UnltedStates the Fifth Avenue, N.
Y., and Hooley's, of Chicago.
It seems turt General Strick
land and Judge Dudley had other
business at Bellevue the other day
in addition to forming a "co-operative
union." The silver-voiced
Silas took a cheap lawsuit, and al
lowed Judge Dudley to argue the
case, in order to give the Judge an
opportunity to exercise his lungs
and astonish the citizens of Belle
vue by his eloquence and logic. The
Judge is practicing to take the
pfump this fall in behalf of the co
tiptratives. YesUnJay about 4 A. M., an
accident, which might have proved
a very serious one, happened at the
Intersection of Farnham and Ninth
gtreets. James Van Daniker was
driving rapidly up town, and in
turning the corner suddenly, the
runner for his hotel, who was sitting
on a barrel behind, was thrown out,
kodio distance, striking violently
upon the ground. He was so jarred
that he had to be assisted to his
feet, and taken to his room. His
face was somewhat scratched.

OUR SCHOOLS.
The
Vorth Omaha lcho'61 IU
Ttaehen, Pupil lie.
A Bee reporter spent a pleasant
hour or two yesterday morning at the
North Omaha School, of which
Professor James B. Bruner is the
principal. In this school there are
seven grades,
THE FIRST
being divided into two classes, one
numbering 72 pupils, under Miss
Adele B. Knowles, and the other,
containing 53 pupils, in charge of
Miss Nannie E. Taylor, mws
Knowles is a graduate of the State
Normal School, and for the past two
years has taught with success in the
first grade of the North Omaha
School. Miss Taylor hails from
Iowa, and has proved herself a
good a teacher of the little ones.
THE SECOND GRADE
s ia, .lttrtriMl intn two classes, one
being taught by Miss Ella Crary,
who has charge of 46 pupils. She
has been engaged at the North
School only a short time, as she
Is acting as a substitute in the place
of Miss Adriance, who resigned.
As she has. had some experience,
however, she finds herself perfectly
at home as an instructress.
The other division of this grade,
numbering 44, is taught by Miss
Hetty McKoou, who is an excellent
teacher.
THE THIRD ORADE.
Miss Mary Richard, from Illinois,
teaohas this class, of fifty-eight
She has been here but a short time,
and has already shown tRftP sne is a
i innoher. Her sister, Miss
Minnie Richard, Is the teacher of
THE FOURTH QRADE,
containing sixty pupils. This is
her first year here, and she has done
very well'
TBB FIFTH: OBADE
is presided over by Miss Emm?
Whltmore, who Is saia 10 oe very
good teacher indeed. She has been
engaged in the Omaha schools for
the last three or four years. Her
class number 4-,
TnE SIXTH AND SEVENTH QRApES
occupy one large school room to
gether. There are 18 members in
the Sixth crade, and 22 in the Sev
enth. A part of these classes of the
two grades are In charge qf Miss
Barnette, and the remaindoraro uu
der "Professor Bruner. The Sevoutb
grade has furnished two teachers
from its ranks during the present
term, for the figuntV schools.
MISS SABNETTE,
who is well known to our citizens
as the former teacher of gymnastics
In the High School, until those
grace-bestowing and healthful ex
ercises were abolished by the Board
ofEducatian, has been engaged as
assistant to Professor Bruner since
February last, having entered upon
her duties Immediately after her re
covery from injuries received by
the accidental burning of her dress
on New Year's Day. This is her
first experienco as a school teacher
and she has succeeded admirably
well. She Is a bright, Intelligent,
interesting and cheerful young lady
one whose amiable disposition
will invariably win the love and
respect of her pupils. She is ad
mirably qualified for the profession
of teaching, and will undoubtedly
attain a brilliant success if she con
tinues In it. She Intends to leave
for Boston, her home, Immediately
at the close of the term, and It Is a
matter of uncertainty whether she
will return. If she does not It will
bo deeply regretted by her many
friends In this city.
PROFESSOR BRUNER,
principal of this school, has been
engaged in the Omaha schools for
two years and a half. His experi
ence extends over a period of many
years, having taught In Pennsyl
vania for ten j'ears, principally In
grammer schools. His education
was obtained in the normal schools
of Pennsylvania. He is an excel
lent teacher, being practical,
studious, and very attentive to the
interests of the 418 pupils under his
charge. He Is In every respect
eminently qualified to fill tho posi
tion he now holds
THE EXAMINATIONS.
During the past week Professor
Bruner ha examined the primary
grades of tho Cass street schools.
Miss Taylor's division of tho firnt
grade was examined on Wednes
day, and Miss Knowles' division
was examined yesterday afternoon.
Miss Hattie McKoon's division
of the second grade was examined
yesterday.
The committee appointed by the
Board of Education examined yes
terday the primary grades.
The written examinations begin
with the 4th, 5th and 6th grades on
Monday next.
The school will close on Friday of
next week. x
THE SCHOOL-ROOMS,
are wea uguieu, wcu venuimeu,
and are in ev&y respect cheerful in
appearance.
The reporter noticed that the
blackboards gave evidence of a
thorough practical instruction in
drawing, and the result has been
that it has brought out the talents
of three or four pupils, who give
promise of becoming artists, should
they cultivate their talents in this
direction. Especially worthy of men
tion in this respect are Adelbert
Jones and Samuel Hess, who have
adorned the blackboards of the
school-room of the Sixth and Sev
enth .grades with several very
artistic crayon drawingsin colors, of
landscape scenery, flowers, etc,
which the writer thought, upon en
tering the room, were the work of
some skillfull painter. They are
fully equal in execution to the
"Scene on the Hudson," which
Nast drew at the Academy of Mu
sic last winter. As these black
boards are not used, the sketches
remain to ornament the walls, and
give a cbetrfirt Wii attractive ap-
pearance to the school room, -which
is certainly the Jinost pleasant one
in the city. Willie Knox is the
name of another artist, -who de
serves considerabtecredit for his ef-'frirts.
The Tournament.
A crowd of between two and
three hundred gentlemen attended
theshootlng tournament Wednesday
afternoon at the Driving Park.
The handicap match, 10 single
rises, was first in order. There
were 19 entries, the entrance being
$5.00. 1st prize, 60 per cent, of
purse; 2d prize, 30 per cent' of purse.

Commencement
OiKS.
Zxer-
Among the many regular events
in Omaha, that of commencement
day at Brownell Hall is always
looked forward to with pleasant an
ticipations by the many friends of
that institution.
Agreeable to announcement, a
large and select audience assembled
within the rather limited space of
the lecture room of the school Thurs
day evening, to be regaled by a most
select and pleasing programme.
The room was tastefully orna
mented upon the walls by a profu
sion of evergreens, flowers, wreaths,
and many other designs pleasing to
the eye. Upon the platform in the
east end of the room were the Bish
op, Rev. Dr. Garrett, Mrs. Hall, the
principal of the school, and, a num
ber of the clergy of the State.
Tastefully arranged upon the south
wall were pencil and crayon draw
ings the productions of the scuoi
ars but so perfect were these draw
ings, that, upon an examination of
them, we could not detect the copy
from the original, the latter being
the work of the talented drawing
teacher, Miss Ross.
By the inspiriting movement of
a maich from Faust, the scholars
filed in to their seats, and the little
ones especially attracted our atten
tion: their cheerful happy faces at
testing well their interest and pleas
ure in their part of tho evening's
exorcises.
An instrumental duett, by Misses
Clark and Everett, gave evidence
of patient practice In the faultless
rendition of a most difficult pieee.
We awaited the next exercise
with expectant pleasure, and were
not disappointed. The "Jackdaw of
Rheiras," as delivered byMIss Nellie
Terrell, was, to our judgment, one
of the best recitations ever given by
an Omaha pupil before an Omaha
audience. She is an accomplished
elocutionist, and has a graceful and
pleasing address.
The selection from Sidney Smith
"Robert la Diahle," a piano soq
by Miss Minnie Hall was a musi
cal treat Miss Hall plays with that
firmness and assurance that we have
been wont to expect only from pian
ists of the sterner sex. The hearty
appjause, greeting her from such an
intelligent audience was lndeet
a fair compliment to Miss Hall.
"Coral," an essay by Miss Adele
Clark, a naturally Intricate, and t
most pptsqns ai unjntgrestjng sub
ject, was treated With, such. ftbiliy
and originality as to readily enlist
the attention and appreciation of her
audience.
The duo, from Heinweh, piano
an( flute, net with the hearty ap
preciation of al the musJcaJ ppophj
present. The soft, delicate notes of
the flute In conjunction with the
positive tones of the piano make
a most delightful combination.
To conclude the Jjtprary portjon of
the programme, we had thp valedlp.
tory address of the graduate, Miss
Melona M. Butterfield. As an
original produotion of a finished
graduato of Brownoll Hall, this
address was most credltablo, with
well conceived Ideas elegantly ex
pressed, combined with an exten
sive knowledge of history. Miss
Butterfield treated her subject
"Success, the reward of persistent
eflb'rt,l-iin good" style. Jn closing
she adverted to tho relations exist
ing between the school and the
faculty, and so expressive of kind
ly christian feeling and regret at
their separations and so expressive
of tljp sgntjinents. f !bp sglpol that
we append an extract from tho last
of her address :
"Dear schoolmates so let us work.
We shall be separated for a time.
Some of you will return again to
occupy these desks and be ready to
perform the work that has been
assigned you, and to join in the
games and pleasures of your mates;
othprs will leave here never to re
turn to these familiar scpnes, but
perhaps to wander away to new
ones and to join in the works of
others. Let us now bid good-by
with the determination to put into
praotleo tho old motto "try, "try
again," whloh more than any
favoring tide "loads on to fortune
and to fame."
Dear Principal and Teachers
We turn to you to say farewell.
We have been with some of you for
the past three years, and during
that tunc have looked to you for ad
vice and assistance, which was al
ways Hi'ldjy rpuderpj.
While bidding 'farewell to thiB In
stitutlon wo cannot forbear to pay
our passing tribute of respectful re
gards to one to whom, perhaps,
more than to any other the substan
tial comfort and consequent well-
being and happiness of the members
of our school-family for the past
four ypara ftaye been due. Her
thoughtful care Hop' us; bPF apqpp,
though prudent, supply for our daily
wants, her patient and unwearied
kindness to each and every one, has
endeared her to all, both teachers
and pupils. She has always an
swered with undiminished patience
the demand of every ono upon her
time.
Qur tl)ancs, our qyp iuil our
highest and most fespeptfu" J esteem
are hers, wherever shp may he,
With much feeling Miss B. made
her regrets to the Bishop in lan
guage full of kindly feeling and
deep regard. She closed as follows :
"Amidst your multiplied and har-
rasspg qa.ro, may you always find
apunuanc grauncauon in uiq ipi
provement and progress of" your
Alma Materl" ' '
We regret that we have not space
to do full justice to Miss Butter

This finished the award of prizes.
The Bishop then presented to Miss
M. M. Butterfield her diploma, she
being the only graduate this year.
A lively song from the school and
a fine Instrumental quartette by
Misses Everett, Metcalf and Clark
closed the exercises of the school.
With the sluging of "Gloria In
Excelsis" and benediction by Bishop
Ciarkson, the commencement ex
ercises were concluded.
More solid entertainment was fur
nished to those who were fortunate
enough to remain, In the shape of
Ice cream, and cake.
Tho school year just closed has
been a most prosperous one. Seventy-six
pupils are enrolled, over
forty of whom are boarders. By
the careful and efficient instruction
of Miss Hall.and her no less efficient
corps of teachers, a most thorough
and practical year of schooling has
been given these young ladies.
The Rev. James Patterson, Chap-
lain, and hi3 talented lady the
matron, are Indefatigable in the
zeaj for tlje proiuotjon of the spirit
ual as well as temperate welfare of
the school, and that their efforts are
appreciated is evidenced in the feel
ings of high esteem held toward
them by the entire school.

HOW NOT TO DO IT.
Municipal Extravagance-
(Communicated.)
Omaha, June 19.
Editor' Omaha Bee :
Two years ago our City Council
received a proposition from Messrs.
Hanscom and'McGeath to donate to
the icity of Omaha a tract of 57
63-100 acres of land about two miles
southwest of the Court House for
park purposes. This proposition was
accompanied by the following con
ditional requirements:
1. The park shall be named Hans
com Park. 2. The city shall ex
pend in ornamenting and beautify
ing the grounds the sum of three
thousand dollars in 1873, four thou
sand dollars per year in 1874-75 and
1876, and five thousand for each of
the years 1877-78. 3. The city
shall ever after keep the same in
good repair.
This proposition, it will be ob
served, involves a total expenditure
of twenty-five thousand dollars
upon the 57 68-100 acres thus dona
ted. Last year a special committee on
parks was appomteu irom me mem
bers of the council, clothed with
full power to incur all necessary in
debtedness for the fulfillment of the
obligations for the year J873. They
employed a laudscape architect (V)
and a full force of men to cut out
brush, and build fencing. No plan,
however, was ever devised for any
definite future improvements, but a
few pet friends of the members of
the committee, were kept in a soft
job all summer. When less than
two-thirds of the grounds were
cleared of brush, and a plain board
fence was completed arounu me
grounds, the three thousand dollars
was used up. The temptation of
controling the disbursements of tlip
balance $22,000 appears now to
be almost beyond tyjn the powers
of aldermanic gravity to resist
By dint of patriotic sacrifices of
time and extraordinary zeal in pub
lic welfare, a committee ivith full
powers has been regenerated, and is
headed by a chairman of past ex
perience in the municipal employ
ment department. This comnittee
propose to rush things, as th'ey term
it. " Already they are dickering for
a survey or landscape, architect, and
superintendent, so as to hasten the
work for a few months and keep a
few darling pets at work without
loss of time, as they expressed it at
the last Council meeting, Now. in
the name "of common sense, when
will tho city of Omaha cease this
kind of piddling and go about things
as business men ought to? Why
employ men to work yicr Co,uieiI
qqmmttees8
yhy not order tho City Engineer
to inakP a full topographical survey
and maps, and then get an. experi
enced landscape architect, and let
the two devise plans with all neces
sary details for submission to the
Council. What Is the engineer paid
for If not to do the 8M.rYpyin.g far the"
city.' '( tie Is incompetent, the best
way to get rid of him is to order
him. to make the surveys, and If ho
fails, the charter provides a remedy,
No work should be done upon the
Park until plans showing in detail
every portion of the work to be
done, wjth cstlihate of its ultimate
cost, are presented and approved.
Then let the work be proceeded with
under contract and not by any
favorite political jobbers at ilouhle
the necessary post JJvery member
of the council who votes away the
power entrusted to him by a con
stituency to a special committee,
where $25,000 dollars are involved,
should be reminded that he violates
a sacred trust. Why not leave li
sue itlftttars. to. tho jugmpnt of the
whole Council ? "Jt'cumiot be gain-
said that the little plonrlna of brush
work last fall In tho Park grounds
cost double as much as it could
have been done for by contract.
Therefore let overy citizen protest
against a repetition of rings in our
Municipal management Jf tle
taxpayers' are to he asspssed for
beautifying ' and ornamenting a
Eublio park, let them havo tho full
onefit of their money.
