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 ,

It would seem aa though tha confidonc

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

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.

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

atuages. All thete things nnd many
more , are In the now mlcs , and an tngi-

'Aclfio remember to their sorrow. The
vnlghts of Labor , nt a mcotin ? held hat

ako. The latter at their meeting to-day

; 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.
