Accordingly tlicy only transacted routine business , but Com missioner Stricter sprang n little surprise on tlie board by presenting the following resolution : IlcRolvcil , That there slmll be no further pxt-cutlve or secret sessions of this foonnl , jitul Hint hercnftcr nil business Bliull be transacted In public. Mr , Strlcklcr requested that the considera tion of the resolution bo laid over until the next meeting or until a full board would bo present. Commissioner llartman seconded the resolution and said that he had prepared n similar one which he had Intended to present when all the members were there. Mayor HeinH heartily 'concurred ) n the resolution nnd wanted to put the matter to a vote at once. It was laid over for a week. Then Mr. Strlckler Introduced the follow ing resolution , which was laid over until the next meeting : HcMolv'c'l , Thilt the chief of police be nnd lie IH hereby Instructed to InvesllKntc every iiHHlfjimtlon house nnd house of prostitu tion In the city of Omaha for the purpose1 of iiHcertnlnlntr which.

A communication was submitted , signed by President Oalllgan , Secretary Hamsher , Treasurer Sailor , eleven directors and eigh teen niembers of thq I'ald Firemen's Ilencvo- lent association , In which a general denial \s.i8 made of the charges tiled against them a week ago. They denied that Chief Onlll- gan used his authority as chief to further his own ends , and that Assistant Chief Baiter prevented the members from holding n. meeting during the absence of Chief Galil ean. It was also denied that there had been any conspiracy to prevent the auditing of the books of the association. This com munication set forth that the association was Incorporated nnd supported entirely by firemen , so that the board of commissioners had nothing to do with Its alTalrs. The former complaint and this denial were re ferred to the committee on rules and regu lations , with Instructions to thoroughly In vestigate Iho trouble and report at the next meeting. Strlcklcr said that he was of the opinion that the board had no right to act In the matter , but Hartman thought that in order to avoid a scandal and keep , the mat ter out of the courts It would be well for the board to try to help the members settle the matter. Chief Seavey of the special commltttce ap pointed to Investigate and report upon certain matters pertaining to charges made against the detective force was present , and reported that ho had n transcript of the testimony given by Detective Haze and others In the IJIamond gambling cases.

The protest of W. T. and Jesse White , who conduct a news and .book store , nt 113 Js'qrth Sixteenth street , ngalnst the establish ing of a saloon at Ill-North Sixteenth street , wits taken'up. Mr. White testified that Wil liam Gull ] , manager for Cohen , who conduct. " n s.iloon at J5H Dodge street , was going to move the saloon to 111 North Sixteenth street , and as this place had been conducted as a disreputable resort he alleged that It would seriously Injure hla news business. A number of wit nesses were Introduced to substantiate his allegations , but none of them were positive In their statements. Mr. Gulll proved n good personal reputation and It was devel oped that ho conducted as orderly a saloon as usual. The board granted Gulll permission to transfer his license and concluded that In- BUlllclcnt ovldcnco had been adduced to ahow that he kept n disorderly resort. Fireman Cogan was granted ten days and Ofllcer Burrows five days leave of absence. George Kelly , janitor of the Leavenworth street school , and S. W. Wotmore , an em ploye of Bennett Bros , were appointed as special policemen.

The cltUens of South Omaha are anxious to have a park opened somewhere within a reasonable distance from their homes , iwhero they can meet on Sunday and pass a few hours in the shade and listen to the music. As It now Is they either have to stay at homo or make a long trip to Hans- corn park. Those who are fortunate enough to have a carriage can make the drive very pleasantly , but those who have to go on the car find the trip a very tedious one. They 'are ' compelled to change cars once , nnd II they have children the Jam on'-Sunday makes It more work than pleasure. Syndicate park is good enough for , tlio South Omaha 'people , they say , and an .effort Is now on foot to have the place thrown" open for the summer on Sunday'at least. A heavy prop erty owner said : "If It Is necessary I would be In favor of the council paying n small rent for the park this suminer. ' But by rights the land company that owns the ground should throw 'their gates ops'n free of charge. Nearly all the property sur rounding the park w i sold on .jtlfo repre sentation that the park would be thrown open to 'the public , but as soon as they sold all 'the lots they could , they fenced the place In and put a lock on the gate. It Is a dis grace that a city the size of South Omaha hns no place where' our people can go to enjoy an open air concert nnd a basket picnic without leaving the corporate limits of the burg.

A gatewny of the Columbian Fair , the wonderful Peristyle , was one of the most marvelous of all architectural productions. It will not profit us as a people to hurry on ser fast to other and smaller things , and so to forget the unexampled triumphs at Chicago cage In 1893. Let us look , then , for a moment at the ab stract figures of this famous Peristyle , not so long as Bernini's colonadcs at Rome , but vastly more Tltaulc. It was a line of lofty arches , 500 feet long ) and 150 feet high , run ning from the Casino to the Music Hall , fac ing the lake on one sldo and the Court of Honor on the other ( and what an environ ment ! ) , with broad promenades between 1U gigantic pillars and upon the high , uplifted roof. Along Its top eighty-eight allegorlal statues , of heroic proportions , broke the azure sky-line ; and In the center crowning a still loftier triumphal arch , rose the vast group representing Columbus riding In a chariot , whoss four prancing horses are led by noble and powerful female figures , their light drapery blowing In the wind. This mighty tableau of statuary represented the great admiral in the triumphal feasts given In his honor , after his return to Spain ; and the firm and proud expression of the discov erer Is perfectly shown forth as he leans lightly upon his Jeweled sword , with head thrown back In heroic poise. The designers were D. C. French and E. C. Potter , two of our foremost Americans In the field of sculpture , and the success of their daring conception was attested by millions of ob servers. It Is the thrilling descriptions of the plan ning and construction of such works as the Peristyle and their matchless pictures , which give a perennial charm. , to the new "Book of the Builders1 whose writing has just been finished by Directors ( Burnham and Millet , who together" know more about the fair than any other two- men : With Us usual vigilant 'solicitude for the -welfare of Its subscribers and readers , The Bee has Incurred a great outlay to secure the making of a splendid popular edition of this book , as a premium for its patrons. It is very important to bear in mind that this edition Is not a cheap revamping of an old book , , condensed and made over to favor the present time demand for premiums. It is appearing In sections , 'step by step , In advance of the Edition deLuxe Luxe of the same work , and Is Itself very carefully written by Directors Burnham nnd Millet , so that all the essential and InterestIng - Ing features are preserved , as well as the choicest pictures.
