Prof. A. P. Marble , superintendent of the
schools of Worcester , Mass. , was last night
elected superintendent of the Omaha schools ,
to succeed Frank A. Fltzpilrlck , resigned.
With the exception of Mr. Ilandluucr all
members of the Uoard of Education were In
nttendance last night.
The lobby was largely composed of those
who were there In Die Interest of candidates
for the Bupcrlntcndency of the public schools.
Superintendent Pltzpatrlck reported In favor
of opening kindergarten departments nt the
Long and Lincoln schools. This was re
ferred to the appropriate committee , after
which the resignation of Mr. Fltzpatrlck
-was presented. Aa soon as the letter was
road President Powell called Mr. Thomas to
the chair and offered the following resolu
tion :
Resolved , Thnt we accept the resignation
of Buiierliitendent Frank A. ritzintrlck
and relwise him from Ills contract with
this board.
In taking this notion , we wish publicly to
express our deep sense of hla personal
worth , his rare gifts of mind and heart , and
his exceptional standing and ability us an
educator. We wish to bear witness to his
untiring and well directed Industry iiml hla
unflinching loyalty to the good of the
Bchoola.
Under Ills wise guidance our schools have
been built up and strengthened , and huve
mndo unprecedented growth along lines
which lend to the truest and most patriotic
citizenship , and to the broadest nnd best
education our common schools win give.
We deeply regret that he cannot longer
continue to direct the work he 1ms so
wisely planned and well Inaugurated , nnd
while wo can do no loss than release him
at his own rcuuest , the Announcement of
his resignation comes to us with n sense of
personal loss , to which Is added n con
sciousness of loss to our schools and to uur
city.
MEMBERS EXPRESS REGRET.
A number of the members spoke In very
high terms of Prof. Fitzpatr.ck , after which
Iho resignation was ofilclally accepted. This
action threw down the bars and Mr. Akin
moved that the board proceed to elect a
luperlntcndent to fill the vacancy.
Mr. Qlbson moved is on amendment that
the matter bo postponed for one week ,
arguing that the members should take tlmo
to look up the fitness of the several candi
dates for the position.
Dr. Duryea urged that the hoard should
take two weeks Instead cf one week. The
election of a superintendent , he argued , was
too Important a matter to be acted upon In
n hasty mai ner. The motion to proceed
with the election was carried.
President Powell appointed Messrs. Thomas
nnd Ilabcock as tellers and told the members
to prepare their ballots.
Dr. Duryea Insisted that he was not pre
pared to cast his ballot , as It was only by
newspaper reports that he knew of the can
didates.
The salary of the superintendent was then
cut from $4,000 to $3,600 for the ensuing
rear.
rear.Upon the ballot being taken , the result was
aa follows : A. P. Marble , 10 : Smith. 2 ;
Gilbert , 1 ; blank , 1. Prof. Marble was de
clared elected , after which he was presented
and Introduced by Prof. Fltzpatrlck. who
B.ild that Prof. Marble was one or the best
and most thorough educators In the country.
lie said that he- was the equal. It not the
superior , of any man who had ever held the
position In Omaha.
Prof. Marble thanked the board for the
honor conferred , saying that ho realized that
f the schools of Omaha had attained a very
high standard , and that It would be his aim
and purpose not to let them move backward ,
FITZPATRICK'S FAREWELL. .
f , Prof. Fltzpatrlck said tlut one of the sad
H dest moments of hla llfo would ba when ho
left Omaha. Ho had always found the
members of the school board ready to assist
him In his work for the advancement uf
the schools. He had asked members of the
board" to do certain things , but everything
asked was for the god of the schools of
Omaha. Ho had been charged as derelict
In net giving reasonable notice of his inten
tion to leave the school , but if such Mas the
case , and it was a mistake. It was & mistake
of the head and not of the heart. In May
ho said that ho was tendered n position In
a city four times the size of Omaha and an
Increase of salary , but he would not accept ,
saying that If ho continued In sch.ol work
ho would stay in Omaha.
Mr. Fltzpatrlck spoke strongly against
crippling the High school and cutting down
the kindergarten. He urged paying good
Balarles , as good salaries were the tmly
thing- that could secure nble and competent t
teachers. If the city did not educate Its
directive power It would only b ? a short
time until that board would have to Imi'orl
that power. Members of the board were less
Influenced by politics than In any city ( hat
he had seen.
Dr. Duryea said that Prof. Pltzpatrlck
come to Omaha when there- were many dif
ficulties to conquer. Thcro was no one , the
doctor said , who could have entered Into the
work more earnestly , gracefully and hon
orably that Mr. Fltzpatrlck. During his
stay In Omalu Prof. Fltzpatrlck applied the
methods and principles of public schools to
such an extent that his departure from the
\\of.i was a great loss to all. The doctor
pledged a friendship which should extend for
all tlmo to come.
President Powell said that Dr. Duryea had
only voiced the sentiment of the board. The
board and each member had been proud ot
Prof. Fltzpatrlck , who would take with him
good will and a hope for future prosperity.
Prof. Goudy , late superintendent of public
Instruction ot the state , said that It was a
case of. "The king Is dead , long live the
king. " He spoke of the educational Institu
tions of the state and what they wcro ac
complishing lor the youth.
THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT.
Omaha's new superintendent of schols Is
K3 years ot nge. He graduated nt Colby
university , Watervllle , Me. , In 1S81 , making
his own way through college , Almost im
mediately he came west and became the prin
cipal ot Wayland academy at Beaver Dam ,
WIs. , where John M , Thurston was one. of
his pupils. Ho then became principal of
the lloynlon High school at Eastpcrt , Me. ,
and soon afterward was made the head of

and has taken n leading part In the meetings
of various educational associations. Four
years ago a. work of h ; treating of the
sanitary conditions of schcol buildings was
published by the National Bureau of Educa
tion.Mr
Mr Marble cays that his exporlenca while
teaching In Wisconsin gave him a knowl
edge of the cordial character of western
people , and this , together with letters re
ceived from friends In Omaha when It was
known that Superintendent Fltzpatrlck
would resign , led him to seek the position
to which ho has been chosen , Ho also
knew that Omaha was \vlile-jwake , pros
perous and progressive city And this In-
created his desire to resume his acquain
tance with the west here. He has been nIn
Iho city since last Friday. Inml
Mr , Marble's family consist ! of n wife and
two grown * daughters , who will eventually

pression on the members of the Heard ot
Uducation who have talked with him , and

Sunday afternoon the park was Inhab
ited by the Jolly senior class of the Omaha
turnveroln. The attendance on this occa
sion -was limited to Invitations , but the size
of ( lie crowd did by no means limit Ilia fun ,
which continued to a late hour. The bears
and their families , active turners nnd more
Intimate friends , were present , and one nnd
all seemed to enjoy themselves hugely. Aside
from f the social feature nnd quaffing the
foaming I beverage , the time was passed
pleasantly t , the Interest centering on appara
tus t turning , dumb-bell lifting. Jumping and
an amusing tug-of-war between bears and
actives , The bears' gold medal , which re
mains the property of the class until won
J three times consecutively , when It becomes
the properly of the lucky Individual , was
won by llobert Unger , the llanscom park
gardener , who made the highest average In
all the exercises. Second and thlnl prizes
were awarded to Herman Bcselln and Henry
llohlff respectively. It Is a .custom with the
bear division to also award prizes to the two
lowest In average.
These are denominated consolatory prizes
and they are Intended to supply balm for the
wounded feelings of unlucky members , who ,
either through temporary disability or by
reason ot obesity , have been prevented from
making better records. The award of these
winnings Is nlwaya accompanied by more or
less | hilarity at the expense of the winners.
Moth It I cf these prizes consist of beer mugs ,
the II t one an ordinary glass , with a capacity of
half I a gallon , while the other Is more elabor
ate , but somewhat diminished In size. The
JI J picture of an ourang-outanc adorns tbe latter.
JI Unless I the temporary holder Improves on hla
record next year the fee simple to this
piece I of furniture will be vested In him.
Sunday the award of the last mentioned
cup was made to Herman Schaeffer , whose
herculean though futile efforts to bestow it
on somebody else entitled him to possess
It. Condoling with him and himself was
Theodrra J Decker , who had made ju t a little
Impiorement l on the lowest score. All these
awards were mads by 1'hlllp Andres nnd
accompanied by appropriate short talks. The
Judges ot these exerclsjs wcro Henry
Kummerow , Paul Wurl and Gottlieb Dlattert.
Henry Hoffmelster , Henry Rohlff , Herman
Schaeffer , Robert Unger , Julius Ftstncr , J
Itau. Herman Dcselln and Theodore Becker
were the contestants , with AVIlllam Schulze
ns first turner.
The tug of war between actives and bears
furnished never ending sp rt , which reached
the highest pitch of excitement when , under
the strains of muslo , fast and furious , the
former gained nine Inches on the latter at
tlis end of ten Minutes. This was made all
the more ludicrous because of the bears pos
sessing an advantage of 700 pounds In weight ,
with a 2(30 ( pounder In the harness. Actives
Philip Miller. Paul AVurl , Eml ! Ilohlir , Al
Johnson and Fred Kucnne accomplished this
result under the rncst vociferous applause.
They were captained by II. Ucselln , while
Herman Knnde enjoined the bears to "hold
on. " Henry Kummerow acted ns umpire In

It la not often tint science makes A dis
covery that demands special Investigation
on the part cf the newspapers. Once In a
vhlle It does , however , such na occurred In
Jew York recently.
It lias , been st.ited positively tliat n pro-
fffs has been found whereby food , mixed
with a certain ferment , became digested bo-
ore It ever entered the mouth. Certainly
( this \\ete true It would mark nti era In
ho history ot civilization , and the ivrtcr
vas delegated to thoroughly Investigate and
report upon the tame.
Tie first call was made at the- office of the
company which Is now manuficturlng the
"ooO In question , and I was permitted to
ns/icct the process of manufacture. I found
I exceedingly elaborate and [ scientific , and
after Inspect UK It thoroughly I was slitwn
, ho way In which It actually worked.
A piece of fresh meat was placed In an
ippn dish and some of the pre-dlgosted food
nlxod with It , when tha temperature was
alsed to that of the stomach. Almost Im-
nedlately there was a change In the color
f the meat , next Us fibers seemed to sep
arate , and fcon It assumed e ) lltuld | form ,
'ho same as it does in the human stomach
ifler being eolen. The effect , the change ,
he entire process , \\aa most wonderful and
"This , as you see , Is a demonstration of
vhst can be done. " said the manager , "but
ve prefer that you ascertain Just what this
oed accomplishes with the people who use
t. Here is a list of names , and you arc
at liberty to see them and ascertain Just
vliat their opinions may be. "
Armed with this list ( he writer began a
our of Investigation , with the following re-
ult :
Sergeant Ellas n. Dunn , chief ot the
weather bureau , was found In his office ,
coking exceedingly well. In response to
ny Inquiry ho tald : "I have used the pre-
llgcsted fo > d. Paskola , myself and In my
family , and I must say ( hat I found It just
what Is claimed for It. In fact , I have been
chanting the praises of It very steadily ever
since I first began to use It. Why shouldn't
It has built me up nnd made a. new
man ot me. You sen hw fresh and rcsy I
am , and I Intend to keep so. " ,
Colonel John It. Fellows , the eloquent dls-
rlct attorney of New York , In response to
my question said' "If I am called upon to
deliver an addiess t-r make a speech upon
vhlch much depends I first look out ferny
ny stomach When that U healthy my
iraln Is clear , my thoughts nre logical , and
t Is a compai a lively easy matter to clothe
hem In pioper iBngutige. When I nm not
eellng well I take Paekola , the pro-digested
"oo < l , which seU ( he stomach right , clears
ho cobwebs Inm the liraln and seta the
machlnory of thought and eloquence in mo-
Ion. There Is nothing like Paskola for
cuch a puipose , and I believe Jt has won
nore cases beldre a jury than you would
rnoglne. "
Both Messrs. Howe and Hummel , the well
known lawyers , fully confirmed that I had
already heard , Mr , Howe said :
Look at me ! Feel how firm my arm Is !
fen can see I nm In perfect health , and yet
1 was , not long ago. advised by my doctor
: o go away for my health. My present con
dition Is the result of Hie use < of I'askola.
t IB a labcr saving discovery saves your
stomach the labor of digesting food. Try
't as I did , and grotv fat and jolly. "
His partner , Mr. Hummel , said :
"I Jinve seen a number of people try Pas-
kola whose stomachs were BO weak that
hey could digest nothing else , but who were
able to assim late this predlgested food with
out the slightest difficulty. I have known
an adult man wasted to a shadow by in
digestion , who gained forty pounds In three
mcnUis by Its use. "
Wherever I went the reports were the
suine , and I was forced to tie Inevitable
conclusion that a great discovery bad cer-
: aln1y been made for building up the sya-
! em , Incrojsing the strength and prolonging
the life , without any drain or strain upon
the digestive organs , which has been the
; reat bane of our American.life. Certainly
the results of the research prove so.
