borough has made It n custom to gtvo Mr.
Sudborough n dinner after the close of the
campaign to which ho In turn has Invltod
the successful candidates and a few con
genial friends. But Mrs. Sudborough never
appears on these occasions , allowing thq
gentlemen to follcttnto ns much as they de
sired without the Interference of the gentler
sex , willing to oxllo herself possibly to the
overseeing of the culinary department , that
her spouse and his friends might fully real
ize that n woman's thankfulness Is that the
smoke of the ballots Is lifted. Last evening
Mrs. Sudborough was the hostess , whllo
Mr. Sudborough presided at the head of the
artistically arranged table , about which wcro
gathered Mayor Uomls , Congressman David
Mercer , Assistant City Attorney Cornish ,
Treasurer-elect Bolln , Comptrollor-olect Ol

Tho-Onicial Count John Groves to doeldo

There wcro no set speeches nt this delight
ful dinner , the successful candidates being
content to listen In the most , part to Mr.
Mercer's descriptions of Washington and
some of the men ho has mot In congress.
Judge Berka melted several post-election
poems , whllo Mr. Olsen told stories in
Danish that caught the fancy of the guests ,
probably because the language was little
understood. Mayor Bern is and Mr.
Cornish tallied of Utopian reforms in
canvassing votes and Mr. Sudborough
gave reminiscences of the camp ilgu and the
"characters" ho had to deal with in keeping
the citv ticket from being scratched.
It was an evening.of thorough enjoyment
to the guests who' had every reason to con
gratulate ono another "over the walnuts and
.the wine" of the outcome of the last cam
paign.

It la Very Unellsli.
The Mormon population is chiefly English ,
nnd it is often remarked by English tourists
thnt they sco moro to remind them of Eng
land hero than In uny other plnco visited in
America. This Is no doubt true , for many
of the shrubs and trees surrounding the
lovely homes were imported direct from the
old country.
Down on First South street is n genumo
old Enulish tap room , with snnded lloor und
nil , und on any evening ono can sco a motley
crowd of both men and women sen ted around
the llttlo tables eating a lunch of broad and
cheese , with a pint oL < "nlf and'alt" before
them , tolling their troubles to ono another
and.gossiping in truoCocknoy stylo. The
voice of the wiener wtirst man nftor dnrk is
n familiar one in Omaha. Hero it is differ
ent. In no other plaua n the west have my
oars been greeted with "Ere you are. sir I
Ot meat pies 1 Red ot , sir , both beef nnd
mutton 1 only 5 cents. " They are really
clean nnd palatable'und-'aro liberally bought
by the night toilers. )
Ono notices many inconsistencies In
rambling over the yitv. For instance , one
man bus his house painted a sky blue , an
other n bright pink * nnil another will cnrry
the sign , 'Calcimluiag jind white washing"
over the door , and on the other side "Honey
is sold hero'1 and announce that fresh yeast
can likewise bo obtained at a moderate
price.
A IMtltul Cnio.
Up on Fourth East street is a place that
looks n cross between a Chinese pagoda and
ono of "Tom Murray's Harnoy street
palaces. " It Is n source of great curiosity to
the visitor , belng'dceorated gaily with all
manner of flags , bunting , pictures framed
and tender verses of love posted hero nnd
there , fresh boquots of flowers tied to odd
corners nnd some creditable plaster casts
of doves und angels stuck on tlio window
sills nnd on the voof of the house , if ono
could call it that. The interior is as fantas
tic ns the outside. The occupant is n tiunn-
less crank , n bachelor and a Mormon , who
regularly redecorates his abode yearly and
Is waiting for "the bride that never comes. "
The story Is told that suver.il years ago ho
was engaged to a girl in the old country.
Ho came to ZIon , prepared a homo and wrote
for her to como. On the way she was taken
suddenly ill and died , being buried in mid-
ocean. A part of the Mormon belief Is that
a "celestial marriage" lakes place aftei
death which is infinitely moro happy than
the earthly one. The disastrous ilnafb to the
arrangements of the couolo unbalanced Ills
mind and ho is under the impression that his
bride will at some future day como to him , am
regularly on the anticipated wedding day
ho decorates the house , dresses for the wed
ding , places a lamp In tUo window and pa
tiently awaits her coining.
The quaint old udobo Homos , covered will
English ivy nnd surrounded with beautifu
( lowers nnd fruit trees , thnt make this a
most charming place to visit , are fast disap
poarlng in the march of progress , for , ns ' .
said buforo , the city Is fast assuming metro
polltan airs , but with its broad , well pavoc
streets nnd permanent sidewalks , shaded
with stately poplars , the snow-capped moun
tains at Its back , the great Salt lake , the
wonderful medicinal springs and the fertile
valley , It will always bo n delightful plnco

THE FAIREST AT THE FAIR

It Is fortunate for women that they had
lothlug whatever to do with the general
management of the fair. Their administra
tion has been conllnod to their own sex ,
vlthin the limits of tbo Woman's building.
Though some of the best exhibits of women
were on view In the Manufactures and Arts
nilldlngs the Board of Lady Managers had
Ittloto do with them , except to fight for
their admission. Llttlo In ono sense , this
tight for Justice was everything In another ,
as Mrs. Palmer states In her oftlclal report.
Without It women would have boo'i almost
excluded from the exposition , except In the
Woman's building.
"Now , then , what liavo women done In
that Woman's building besides making
themselves ridiculous and lighting like cats
and dogs t The building was as dark as n
pocket. 1 couldn't see sovSral exhibits ,
notably those of Now South Wales and
Mexico , and tboro Is' no sense in separating
the sexes. There should no moro have Docn
a Woman's building than a man's building. "
So spako a clover man , who was enthusias
tically supported by his wlfo.
"Yes , " echoed the wlfo , "women should
stay In their own sphere. They have no
business capacity und always muddle what
ever they touch. I'm disgusted with them. "
If this opinion wcro confine. ! to tno house-
bold It would bo unworthy of notice ; as It Is-
shared by thousands it deserves considera
tion.
In the first ulaco the Board of Lady Mana
gers compares most favorably with the na
tional commission , though tbo former was
taken dlroet from private life , while the
latter was more or less used to public affairs.
The women had spasms of unwisdom , which
reports exaggerated ; considering their man
ner of appointment I ain amazed at the gen
eral level of capacity. No scandal has been
mixed up witU them , no charges of dishon
esty. The fidelity to work of the various
committees is proved by results.
That the Woman's building Is better
adapted to the reception of people than the
reception of exhibits is certainly truo. The
first lloor Is dark , but Miss Haydou's build
ing is not unique in this respect. Various
exhibits in Iho Manufactures building were
killed by being stowed in dark recesses. Ex
ternally the Woman's building pleases the
o.yo and harmonizes with the ensemble
of Jackson park. Reflnod , dignified , unob
trusive , it well expresses a sex that is only
beginning to feel the artistic power with
which nature has endowed it. That Miss
Hoyden moro than realized expectations has
been shown by the esteem In which she Is
held by so .clover a critic as Director of
Works Burnham and by the award of a
medal from a Jury of architects that re
fused to honor the government building and
the Illinois state building , both designed uy
men. If Miss Haydcn had con ecu cd the
latter women would have reason to bo
ashamed. As It is , they can congratulate
themselves , not only on the woman architect
of the fair , but on the women decorators.
Opposed to u Separation.
On general principles I am opposed to a
separation of the soxes. I believe men nnd
women are vastly akin to a pair of scissors ;
both are needed for the complete evolution
of anything and everything. Firm in this
faith I began by seeing no necessity for a
woman's ' building. After Ave months' ob
servation I am convinced of its utility. If
all the world wcro enlightened its erection
would have been unwise : out the least un
derstood being on earth is woman , oven by
her own self. She needed a revelation and
hns hnd It.
It popularity bo n sign of approval the
Woman's building outranks all others. I
never entered Its portals without being op
pressed by an overflow of humanity. Every
woman who visited the fair made it the cen
ter of her orbit. Hero was a structure de
signed by a woman , decorated by women ,
managed by women , filled with the work of
women. Thousands discovered that women
wcro not only doing something , but had
been working seriously for generations.
Mau.v of tbo exhibits wcro admirable ; If
others failed to satisfy experts , what of it !
The sum total filled a mission that is bound
to produce good frtiit. Women have gone
homo Imbued with faith in their sex and in
themselves. They feel that their kingdom
is yet to como. Filled with hopa , they de
termine to make the most of themselves.
Every woman manager will bo a motor in
her community to set going the wheels of
progress , if , however , the next Interna
tional exposition bo deferred twenty-five
years the Woman's building will not have a
successor. By that time co-operation of the
sexes will bosoilrmly established ns to put
wonion beside men in management and to
mnko two boards an extravagant anomaly. .
The nssortlon of my critic's wjfo thnt
womeii have no business capacity is laugh
able , considering how ninny women not only
earn their own living butsupport families.
Look nt Franco and sco what her women
are doing In business. American women
cannot touch them tn shrewdness nnd in
telligence. . The cause of this capacity is
duo , I fancy , to Napoleonic wars that drove
husband and father into the army and
forced wonion to look nftor themselves. So
well did they hold the reins ns to have kept
them over since. Mind you , 1 think it .u
national misfortune that women should over
bo obliged to leave their llrcsldos to wield
the scepter of work , unless it bo artistic ;
but as the world is out of joint and women
must bo breadwinners , in God's numo lot
them bo given nil the necessary tools.
As to the lady managers of the World's
Columbian exposition what Is the verdict of
congress ? Let a national commissioner tell
the story.
"Thnv have done bettor work nnd moro of
It than wo hnvo , " frankly admitted the lion ,
ostnat of'men. "I know what I'm ' talking
about , because I've ' noted with both organi
zations , nnd lot mo tell you thnt nut for Mrs ,
Potter Palmer congress' never would hnvo
given the money for nwnrds. Every mail of
us who argued before the nommitteu said or
did something antauonlstic. 1 aid , for ono.
When Mrs. Palmer arose oil was poured on
the troubled waters nnd victory perched on
our banner. Not only did Mrs. Palmer got
all the money she asked for , but $00,000
moro , " If this Is not business capacity it Is
a good imitation ,

Recognized by the Rovornmont as factors
In civilization , women owe congress a ilobt of
KiMtltUdo ; It U the llrst time In the history
of the world that women have been so con-
sldort-d nt International expositions.
Through the Hoard of Lady Managers for-
clirn nations wore Invltod to appoint com
mittees of women to co-operate with them ;
the result was such an exposition of women's
work as never was. Franco was llnoly rep
resented in many arts nml Industries ; Spain ,
Italy and Uclglnin made wonderful exhibits
of luce , Queen Mnrjhorltn contributing oven
the royal Inccs of the House of Savoy. Ger
many shone In her educational nml pr.ictic.il
departments. The British empire excelled
In philanthropy , homespuns , nml book
covers. Russia astonished by her ombrold-
ory.aiut laces. As for Mexico ! Mine. Diaz
has every reason to feel satisfied with n
most wro nwl beautiful display of llHt-rco
silver work mid needle work that has carried
oft illi awards , Greece contributed silks ,
Rau/.es. homespuns , c.ishmcros , embroideries
nudruRA. The Onont can never bosuniulontly
thanked for Its generous response. Japan ,
blnm , India , pave their rarest treasures to
the keeping of onr women j Brazil made a
line showing ; other countries of South
America applied too l.ito for space to do full
Justice to their excellent exhibits.
What of American women ? Turn to the
beautiful Hookwood pottery , born In the
brain of Mrs , Hullnmy Storer of Cincinnati ,
mid admit that woman has created n r.iro
art Industry. Turn to the gold ceramics of
the iMisscs llealy of the national capital and
admit that women hnvo created another
valuable Industry. Turn to the line tapes
tries and embroideries of Mrs. C.imlaco
Wheeler and admit that a woman has de
veloped nn art Industry of great v.Uuo. Turn
to Mrs. Uunlap Hopkins' School of Applied
Design and admit that women can excel In
designs for wall paper , carpets , etc. . ns well
as In architecture. Miss Soars of Now Jer
sey shows what can bo done bv relief cutting
on porcelain. Mrs. Ulohardson of Boston ,
Miss wlntorbothnni of Wisconsin and other
women demonstrate ability of high order.
I ho botanical exhibit of the Women's bulld-
Inp was the best In the exposition , and the
great number of awards attest the general
excellence of women's work.
In the organization room many societies
cave a test of their quality , while the cook
ing department , presided over by Mrs. Rorer
and Mrs , Ewing , Instructed JJM.OOO persons
in the most important of arts. These ! S3- ! ,
000 persons walltcn off with ii.lO.OOO books
of recipes , Gratuitously distributed. A
model hospital , equipped by women from
physicians to nurses , treated 1,500 patients
without expense. The salesroom of the
Woman's building yielded SKO.OOO to its ex
hibitors. Then think of that blessed Chil
dren's bnllttlng , duo almost entirely to
women , primarily to Mrs , George Dunlap , n
member of the board.
Do not these results warrant the existence
of the Board of Lidy Managers ! Facts ob
tained by them fiotn foreign governments
concerning women's work have proved o
valuable as to have suggested a permanent
branch of stuist'.cs to nil governments , be
ginning with our own. On Juries of awards
women hnVo , as n rule , distinguished them
selves. In securing from congress the rii ht
to give diplomas to expert artisans , design
ers and inventors whoso employers have
won medals at the fail- , women have estab
lished a principle which commends itself to
the most unthinking. It is a Just recognition
of labor by capital. If women had done ,
only this and nothing moro-ut the fair they
would have "covered themselves witti glory , "
-as Mrs. Potter Palmer Joyfullv exclaims.

deciding vote In case of a tie. The members
of the present board are : Mayor Bonus. Wit
Ham Oolmrii , Chris Itartnuit , V. O. Strlehlet
and How.ird Smith.
Those are the men who regulate and dls-
cipllno the llro and polio j departments , pur
chase supplies , give trials to the o Ulcers nml
llrumcn who nro accused of various offense *
against the rules and rogiilatlons nnd attend
to many other duties doMgnato.l by the
statutes. The commissioners are a line body
of men , intellectually , physically and In a
social and business sense. They are also
terrors to the men who do not llvo up to the
rules sot forth In the lire nnd police rozuli-
lions.
The commissioners have pleAsanl quarters
in the third story of the city hall and they
hold a meeting every Monday ovcnliu.
Gathered arouad a long table , like a moot
ing of cabinet onieor-s , they glvo considera
tion to the routine of business which i-omos

At the head of the table sits Mayor

With a ploisant smile Mayor Bemls says :
"Como to order , gentlemen , " and they pro
ceed with business. "Chris Ilartmau settles
down la his comfortable chair and gives
close attention to all tlr.it Is going on. Wil
liam Coburn usually lights a fragrant Key
West cigar nnd Mr. Strli-kior assists In keep
ing the papers In order for the clerk , whllo
while Mr. Smith bundles the book in whii'ii
the records of the police and llruineu are
kept. After the board gets through with
Us routine work it retires to its pri
vate o/fllco and goes into executive session.
There the different questions are settled.
The personnel of the board is an interest
ing study. Smith nnd Strlcklor are at
torneys , while Hartmann is an Insurance
man. Coburn Is chief clerk in the sheriff's
ofllce. Coburn Is always well dressed , has
the air of a man who thoroughly enjoys life
and isn most genial and companionable man.

Good nature is ono of Mr. Coburn's char
acteristics.

He has the rules and legal points governing
the taking of evidence before the ba.wl at
his lingers' ends and uses his knowledge to
good effect.
Mr. Strlcklcr believes In strict discipline
and ho docs not hesitnto to insist on repri

BOSTON , Nov. U. The police have evolved
a theory in explanation of the murder of
Mrs. Toolo and her daughter who have died
from drinking poisoned porter on Wednesday
night. They think that ono of the two sons
under arrest , if not bath , dollbontoly mur
dered his mother , to whom the f.itllor had
recently willed allot his property , knowing
that the father's death was only a question
of a few days nt the most , nnd that with
Doth parents , out of the way tha propprly
would bo divided among the children. I ho
ueath of the slater , Margaret , the pollco
think , was not planned. Her presence In
her mother's room at the time she opened
the bottle of poisoned liquor was accidental
nnd her death was merely Incidental of the
carrying out of the supposed plot.
