' \ THE DAILY BEE-TIIUKSDAY , FEBRUARY 5 , 1885. MANUAL TRAINING , ? lic CoDtemplatcil AioBtion of the Sys- Icin in ibcOraalia High "jthe Ocncrnl Outlines of the Project nnd Its Anticipated Bcnelltfi , At the Monday ovonlng session of the school board , a resolution was introduced by Mr. Copeland , relative to the matter of taking steps to introduce the system of manual-labor training into the high school. The proposition was favorably received , and a committee was appointed , CDnsiitlng of Messrs. Copeland , Gibbon .and Parker , to examine the different sys tems , the cost , etc. , and to report as soon aa practicable. Thinking to learn some facts in con nection with the proposed important change , n representative of THE BEE called last evening upon Mr. Oopeland , who Introduced the preliminary resolu tion. tion."It "It la rur idea , " tald Mr. Copeland in response to a query , "to introduce a ys torn into the high school curriculum very similar to the ono now in vogue at the St. Louis training school. At Eiu Clalro , Wisconsin , nnd Toledo , Ohio , the high schools have such an additionwhich so far has proven highly beneficial in ita eliects , and has boon thoroughly success ful in its workings. At Boston , too the matter Is now being agitated by the shool beard , and it la quite probable that the tyatem of manual training will bo adopted. In fact , the feeling in favor of the manual training Echool ia spreading over the entire coun try , and bids fair to become an establish ed feature of the American educational system. The idea was first brought prominently forward here by the ro3nnt Jocturo of Prof. C. M. Woodard , of the St. Louis Manual Training School , which made a very favorable impression. " "What ii your idea with reference to the scale upon which the manual trainIng - Ing schcol ought to be opened here ? " "Io start with , I thlnk.it would bettor , perhaps , to have only a woodshopwith proper tools for doing general carpenter work , and perhaps a turning lathe or two. Wo might also put In a small steam engine , as wo have the steam power. Then for the tcond year , if the experiment resulted successfully , wo might equip a department for doing forging and machine work. In thla wiy the system can bo gradually built up until it becomes complete. So far as concerns the cost , I have made in qnlries of Prof. Woodard , nd find that wo could equip the wood-working department mont very thoroughly and engage : teacher for the first year at a cost not to exceed $2,500 , which in certainly moder ato. Tno teacher wo would secure from the St. Louis eohool at a salary of $1,000 a year. " "Is It your idea to allow only the boys of the High School access to the training rooms , excluding outsiders who might -want to take the manual courao as a spe cial study1 "At first , yea. As the system devel- opjd we might admit eighth-grade and aeventh-grado scholars. In the start , however , wo ought to confine the course strictly to the High School. " "What are some of the immediate ben efits which you expect tu result from the adoption of the sy&tem ? " "First , and foremost , I believe that it will assist very largely in preventing a falling off in attendance , and in thwart ing that Inclination on the part of some of the boya to drop out as they advance from clasi to claas. The work of the manual train shops will prove an Incen- . lire for the boys to stick to tholr studios aud complete their course. And not only will the boys of the High School continue their Intellectual studies with more perseverance , bnt I think the appli cations for admission will bo largely in- crcisad by the fact of there being the manual training in addition to the curric ulum. " "And again , there ia a apodal need of a system m fitting the boys of Omaha for various mechanical pnnults. Aa matters ore now , it is almost impossible " for a buy to get a chance to learn a valuable trade , as an apprentice , unless , perhaps , he becomes a ' helper , " or does eomethlng of that sort. Especially is this true in the Union Pa cific shops. On account of this difficulty of producing ( killed labor in this city , of training the cons of artisans for the var ious trades , wo have to rely vury largely upon tbe importation of skilled labor. Row the Introduction of the manual training course would do away with this largely , in glvlog the boya a chance to lot rathe lint and ossontiil elements of a trade while pursuing their othei studios. It would throw an element of pr icticil into the High school curriculum , which would be appreciated not only by the boys thomaelvee , bnt b ; their parents , who perhaps now in- alat upon the Inutllity of the present sy < - tern of schooling. The figures produced by Prof. Woodard , too. show that the puplla who go forth from tha Manual Training ahool , at St. Louis , enter upon active work In the shops , beginning at salary of $12 per week , whllo appren ticca , ant rained , receive bat $3. This of itielf , shows the beauty of the syatoir of manual training. " The committee Intend to thorougblj canvass tho'situation bj correspondence and otherwise , si as to become thoroughly acquiintod wit ) every phase of the question of the adop Ml tlon of the system. The result of tbeii ' * [ Investigation is to be laid before the school board In ample time to allow the minnal ( rainingcoursetobofully provldci for ere the opening ot the fall term nexl September. THE OLD , OLD STORY , How ConlldliiB Franold McluveOhelii wna Swindled one of $ UIO ( Yesterday , It would seem aa though tha confidonc nan , In all the various guises of decej tlvo simplicity , had long enough plye hit art in this locality and bad so of te been "written up , " that the indlvidui who could fill a victim to his wiles ough to ba rara avis. But 'tis not Unu. Yesterday afternoon Officer Job Turnbull was approached by a rust with tesri In hia eyes and a crack In h volco , who told an exceedingly tad ta of how he had been confidenced out i $200 by two confidence sharks. He gai bJs narno as Francis Schwodhelm , si : hailed from Bancroft , Nob. I : waa approached during the di i by aa affable qemlemaa wl gave hia name as Crawford , llo soon gained Schwedrielnn confidence , and the latter eocn confidingly told him that he had como to Omaha with a Urge roll of money , and intended to purchase a bit ; bill of hardware. "Why my desr sir,1' exclaimed Crawford , "lint's just my buslneaa. Saoposo yon como along with me , " Schwodhelm fell Into the trap very easily , nnd the two proceeded irithout delay down town. On the way tboy were mot by .Shark No. 2 , eco "Monroe1" who demanded from Crawford tbo immediate payment of a bill of $200 which amount unfortunately the latter could not pro duce. Schwedhtlrn at once volnntcorcd to pay the bill , en the strength of the newly found friendship , lie did so , and shortly altarward WAS atoorod off by the confidence mon , who then disap peared. These two sharks , whllo operating un der various aliases , are well known to tbo police. Sometimes they pasi under the titles of J. 0. Crawford and L. 0. Mon roe , .1. 0. Crawford it Son , and L. 0. Monroe & Co. , etc , , etc , Ono of the bogtu "bunko checks , " on which they Dwindled a granger last Juno out of some $500 , is now In the chief's otllco. ELEGANT FURNISHINGS , TUB Fnrtilnre ot" the New Court House Rapidly Placed , A Gcncml Description The County Clork'H anil Treasurer's Otllccs and tlio District Court llooiii The Opcnlnc. Mr. Ernest Foigo , the contractor for the now court houao furnlturo , arrived Tuesday evening from East Saginaw , Mish. , to auporintend the putting up of the now furniture , which boa boon In the building for sorno time past. Mr. Felgo was actively engaged yoitorday in super vising the work and giving general direc tions. Ho will probably return to Michi gan to-night. About two-thirds of the furniture has already arrived , and it is ozpccted that the last carload will bo hero In about two or three weeks. Tha furnishings would have been all ready long ago wore it not for the fact that work on the bnilding has been delayed from time to time , and the county comrnisjinnors have been com pelled to notify Mr. Feio to make cor responding delay in hia branch of the work. The court home furniture ia raally quite clcgint , and will provo a feature of no amall attractive interoat , of the mag nificent building. All the furniture , with a few solitary exceptions , la of cherry neatly polished , and beautifully carved and ornamented. In the county clerk's oQico there will bo a long counter over which all the business with outside par ties will bo transacted , several desks , book racka with rollers , allowing the heavy booka to ba easily handled , [ and canopy map-racks attached to the side walls and having an automatic arrange ment to roll up tha maps. Across the transverse corridor will bo the county treasurer's office which will bo fitted up In a very similar manner. The counter , howeverwill bo something especially fino. It Is to be of solid cherry , embossed and with carved panels , and six feet in height. Surmounting it for an equal distance , will be the ecroan- ing , which will bo of cherry with "brass wire filling" and glass panels. The open ings through which all business will be transacted , are protected by brass wickets. This room Is also furnished with desks , filing cases , and map racks. Ascending to the second story , a glance at the district court room furniture con vinces ono that all the appointments are to be In harmony with the air of anbdaed splendor which the lofty cnllngs , colored transom-lights with weird effect , and general symmetrical proportions lend to the tribunal chamber. The judge's dais or rostrum will , Mr. Felgo says , bo something novel and unique , of solid cherry wood , carved and fretted In an elaborate manner. Nearly all the furniture for the court room boa arrived , and will soon be placed In order. The office of the clerk of the district court his also re ceived some of it ] furnishings ; a long desk conveniently partitioned off for record books , baa already been set np. It Is said that Clerk I jams' ' room will bo the finest in point of equipment in the building. The law library room in the western wing of the building has already been completed in point of furniture equipment , and will prove of great con venience to attorneys , being well situ ated with reference to the other rooms. So far aa the general completion of the new court house and its equipments are concerned , It la not probable that official possession can or will be taken before March 1 L There is some talk of hav ing n grand opening ball , to signalize the change of the oflicialcounty centre from the old building to the now and magnifi cent structure.

In the district court yesterday , James B. Callahan began suit against the Oma ha & Southwestern railroad company for $5,000 dama3is Tha plaintiff in his petition alleges that certain property be longing to him , situated near the corner of Eleventh and Mason , had been greatly damaged by excessive 'grading and cut ting , performed by order and under the direction of the Omaha & Southwestern company. The grand jury , .13 also the petit jury was discharged yesterday until Monday morning. POLICE COURT. James Llnsay and Wm. Honnesy were arraigned yesterday afternoon before the court charged with disorderly conduct and having been connected wlih the Far- nam street riot of Monday night. IToth plead guilty and the judge told thorn that about $10 and costs would atone for their sins. Both men demurred and were sant over the hill. Fritz "Wirth withdrew hia charge of fraud against Christopher Buehler. Buehler had received a draft from the old country fora sum of money , which Wirth thought it was bnt proper should bo used in payment of a certain mm which Buehler owed the City hotel. Wirth acted tastily in the matter , for Bueliler , as soon as the draft cimo into hia hands , cashed it and applied the proceeds coeds to the payment of his debt. COUJiTY COURT. In the county court yesterday Lucas & Foster catered suit against Julius Pepperbsrg for $200 damages. The suit Is tha outgrowtn of the Bernstein vs. Pepperberg auit , recently tried , and In which Mra. Bernstein secured the forci ble ejectment of the latter from liar premises on Twelfth , near Douglas , ba- cause of his failure to pay rent , as agreed when the premises were ranted to him. Lucaa & Foster sub-leased the upper rooms for club-room purposes from Pep- perbarg , and Qnow bring ault against him for damages sustained In their ejectment. THE NEW KULES , What the ; Unlon PAclflc Employes Think About Tlierii , Reference has already been made in these column to the new cede of rules and signals which goea into effect very soon over the entire Union Pacific sys tem. Thesa rules are very strict , and it is said will bo enforced with the utmos vigor. The system of signals , aomowhai complicated , has also been studied care fully and is thoroughly exhaustive. Al the employes of the road have been to quired to prepare for a strict ex&mlna tion , Including all subjects pertaining to their peculiar work. There has been contidorable dlst.itls- faction ezpretsad at the change , especial ly amonR the engineers and firemen. The Liramia Boomerang has the fol lowing to say with reference to the actloi to be taken by the employes of the west era division ! . "Tho engineers and firemen who run on the Union Pacific between Cheyenne and Rawllns held an Important meeting In thii city to-day. About 100 men ware present , and tbo action resolved upon re flects tbolr unanimous sentiment The men think they have a substantial griev ance to complain of , and that tha com pany la laying plans to trap them into signing an agreement which will ba to their injury. The engineers and firemen were , tnero fore , much surprised on coming up for examination to nnd the proceedings little more than a farce being asked , for In stance , "Have you a copy of the now rules , and have you read them carefully ? followed by the question , "Do you intend to bo bound by them in every particular ? " Answering thes questions In the Affirmative , the nun 1 required to anbicribo his signature t an agreement to bo bound by the rules and the company's purpose is attuned That purpose the men believe , is not to secure the safety of the travelling public bat to make the employes reiponalbl not only for damages to the property o the company , bnt also to the patrons o the road. One of the rules says tha when a drawhcad ia pulled ou the engineer mutt pay fo It , Another pays that in zasa of acciden the man ] respontiblo must pay damages not only to the extent of bit wages , bu any property he may bold U also liabl .lo . seizure , nis house and lot , earned b ears of toil , rcay to tjketi n.iy from ! m tu caae ho becomes responsible for atuages. All thete things nnd many more , are In the now mlcs , and an tngi- eor or fireman aubicrlbm ; his name , s above mentioned , la apt tend nd himself in a bid fit sooner r later. The same phn was tried a ow years since on the Like Shore road , is sorao of the men now on the Union 'Aclfio remember to their sorrow. The vnlghts of Labor , nt a mcotin ? held hat Ight , resolved to sustain the engineers nd firemen in any action they might ako. The latter at their meeting to-day ppointcd commUtees to visit Denver , mahft nnd lUwllna , and the niUirs of 10 road will soon ba in nn uproar unless 10 company makes a square backdown rom the obnoxious requirements.

To bo allowed ID go there and bus bo separated from tlio common lord of patriots that are always found n the galleries of both houses of con- ; rcs , no matter how dull or stupid the irocec dingo , is deemed a special privi- cgo of some consequence. When the gentleman from Now York sat down ho tad a near neighbor who looked very nuch like n tramp. When ho arose to ; o out , behold ! the near neighbor had al- eady slipped away and taken his new lat , leaving a very commcn , dirty ens n its ttoad. It was n clear case of hlovery. It was no use to look under ho st.it or to talk to the doorkeeper , or ilgh regret : , or swear , or make throats , or the nimble pilferer was guo with his > ooty , and was probably congratu'.iting ' liinself at that vury moment over n class f beer nt a neighboring saloon. The inly thing to bo done was to borrow a int and go over into the city and buy a ew one. The trilling incident suggested to mo a ubjcci upon which I do not think there las been much written and about which lore is very little known. I refer with rent reverence to the ancient and eucrablo police force of the capital , 'hero ' is such a body. As an evidence of 1 refer the skeptical reader to tliat fas- natirg and romantic volume known as to Cong cssional Directory. Thcioisa > ago of that book almost wholly devoted o what is called tlio capital police , which s hero described consists of a captain , iwo lieutenants , twenty-one privates , nd e'ght watchman a grand total of liriy-thrce men. Ono would never sus- > ect the existencoof so forni'dablo ' a force : conservators of the peace in the pro- nets of the national capitol from any i'ible nuteriali/ation thereof , but it is o illy a fact that there is such a force in xistence and that it really docs draw Its > ay. For the captain there is § 1,000 a ear ; for each of the three lieutenants , ! 1,200 ; for each of the twenty-one pti- ates , § 1,000 and for each of the eight at.hman , § 000 a grand total of § 4- , 00 a year. The members of this good- zed company ari of considerable heft , it regularly , sleep well , and chow ob3co. They are under the direction of what is called the capitol police board , which is composed of the acrgoint-at- rms of the senate , scrgeant-at-arms of 19 house , and the capitol architect , and his board has a set of rules which are bjorvod at rare Intervals and generally > y accident. One of the rules is that The police , whou on duty , shall ba par- cular as to their personal appearance , nd prompt and courteous In their atten- on to visitors. They are forbidden to njuro the walls , piers , or other portions f the building by leaning against or inlting their feet on the same , und they hall , In a respectful manner , prevent thera from doing like injury. " None no would ever have even a lingering nsplckn of a regulation of this soit if he lact no better evidence of It than that arnlshed by the police themselves. Per- one who have visited the cipltol will ap- ireciato the gentle iiony contained In the equirement that the members of this il- nstrlons body shall be particular as to their leraonal appearance. The conventional lollcemin that is "one of the finest" a a fellow of good stature , who stands ip straight in his boats , has his hat or cjp in with I lie peak in fi oat , has his coat inttoned close about himnnd wears a white ollar. A policeman of th t kind , how- iver , would make a real sensation if ho vere seen abont the national capitol There are good-looking policsmen in Washington , but they keep away from he capital. I have never yet seen a member of the capitol force with hit coat mttoned , nor In any way "particular as o his personal appearance. " I have him low In my mind's tya , cjmfortably lean- ng up ajjalnst the very wall or one of tno very columns he is distinctly told not to can against or deface , his hands In his routers pockets , his slouch hat turned : o one side , every now and then shoot- ng out aa ambsr stream of tobacco juice oward a convenient cuspidor with a force and precision that would do credit to a steam fire-engine. Ho is the most good- natured , easygoing , idle-looking , emas culated man of clubs and bullets In the we rid. He can shoot anything or hit anything ! No , never ! lie is a man of ) naco , If ho doesa't lean ho alts. The iipltol policeman is a very able sitter. There are two places where his clothes ara always worn out on the seat of his Toussrs and the bak of his coat. The one to wesrs oat by leaning , tlio other by sitting. There are seven post * ibont the capitol building where a pilice- nan U supposed to bo always , but the only sa'o place to find one is in the grand rotunda Hero ho luxuriates all day. You will see him sitting about with the bal- inco of the interesting collection of por- eons there who seem to have nowhcro else to go nor nothing el o to do. It is icro that ho assumes the important role of grand talker foe the crowd. Ho likes .o cock one leg up on the bench , loan back against I ho wall , and delight an expectant and admi'ing group with the narration oi divers advcniuies ho had at some remote > eriod tf his life. Ho never thinks , "taring one thing with another , a policeman's lot is not a "nappy one. " lie is not that kind of n policeman. Ho is one of the noble band of officeholders , app.intcd through politi cal influence , and'it you don't like it you can let it alone. Ho docs this able bodied caning and sitting about only twelve loins out of the thirty-six. For instance , 10 comes on at 8 o clok at night. Ho is then excused from duty all the following , night and day. In other words , he is on duty , which means that ho is sitting some where , only one-third of his time. And one of the sol turn rules for his regula'ion and almost tha only ono ho complies with , is tliat ho sliall have lift } days absence during the year , hi jay going on all the same , anc the board baring the right to pat on a eubstiiuta at the regular prlca. If , tbcn he Is oil'duty Uo-tumls of the time , anc is absent fifty days in the year , ha is really in cervlca only what ii equivalent ii actual hours to about two months out o twelve. As be is appointed through pol itlcsl Influence , ho Is allowed fifty days ab.isnce every year , BO ho can go horn and stir up things for the congressman o or tenator to whom he owes his position It would bo absolutely ata'tllcg to se a member of tbo opi'ol ' prllca mike a arrest. I think I would be entirely safe In sayn ; that on the arcriic it would bo m ro ttiirtliiit ! to him than anybody elso. 1 isktd the c.p'aincf t he f TOO how many treats were n.aio in the courto of a ear. Ho btkctl lomewhat surprised , nd slid ho did tinsjpposo they would each the num'ierof ' fifty. It is a'togothrr irobbablo that the country pays about ! 1,000 for every nctcaldoed of arrest per- ormcd by the gallant capitol force. Of ourte it is n t the wlnlodutyof a polios- i n to nuka arrests , bnt tint cert \lnly onus within the line of his duty. A real policeman , ono fresh from Not ? 'ork , Boston , 1'hlladolpbia , Chicago , St. < onls or any first-class city , would no oubt Gnd a great deal f do at the c.ipl- ol. There is unquestionably a consider- bo ! amount of police work there that ught to bo dono. It is the ono dlsa roo- iblo feature of the capitol that a gang of ho moat worthless Icafors ate always liero to oflend the eye of tlio rcspoctiblo leltor , and crmmit mull thefts at every avorablo opportunity. There Is not oother public building in America that s so Infoitad with idiots , tramps and osferj. In the grand rotunda there are cats next to the wall , around the cniiro iroa , and at regular intervals iti front of hose eeata are largo cmpidorea , into rhlch the multitude of loafers always hero spit thoT tobacco juice. Hero they it all d.iy. They have worn the seats raoo h. They have colored tlio walls > lack. They have made the place look ko a stable. "Wall for n Continuation. Chicago News. It is reported that a woman was ar- estud in the London royal exchange luilding day bcforo yes'erday having a iiantity of dynamite concealed about her erson. It ii always best to wait for con- innation of such reports. Iho London tolice a-o likely to mis'ake anything from bottle of gin to a kit of salt mackerel for package of dynamite. FOIl MtVljIS.
