during tbo week and wil be tbo steln at-

1o'll's opera house on Wonesday evening
under the auspIces of tbe South Omaha Coun-
ci of the Young Mews Institute.
Mr. Finerty Is not n stranger to Omaha .

and admirers , not only among these of Irlb

. There ; " Is crowded ' ' Into - the ' forty-nine years
of Mr. Finerty's Ire several volumes of ro-
manlc adventures and thrilling experiences In
war and peace In fel and rorum. SpringIng -
Ing from a family of journalists In Ireland ,
I- nod educated ! In the Dublin university bt
tlad not reached man's estate cro he provoked
. , the wrath or the Castle government. At the
age of IG he was the "young man eloqucnt"
of what was the rerudescence of the Young
Ireland movement , whence sprang the
iranians or Irish Hevolutonary Brother-
hood. Ho plunged Into the movement with
the enthusiastic rec1lesness $ of youth , and
became so 11angoroul to the ruling powers
that his liberty depended on emigration.
Coming to the Unied States early tn 1861 ,
ho found amllo ) o\lportunly \ to emilloy his
talents a 1 journalist. The ' profcssion'proved
too tame for his fighting blood. and as there
was an abundance of light to bo had for the
seeking at that time , Mr. lnerty enlisted In
- the Nlnely-nlnth Now York volunteers , and
followed the fortunes of the command until :
mustered out at the close of the war.
Like thousands of his countrymen who
served In the union army Mr. Finery believed -
leved that they
Who wcul1 be fro ! , themselves must strike
the blow
and readily joined the FenIan rail on Canada -
ada In 1866. The Inglorious ending of that
movement evidently convinced him that the
freedom of Ireland could not be wrung
from Canada , for when the subsequent fizzle
of O'Nei occurred on the borders of New
York and Vermont In 170 , Mr. I.'lnerty was :
a nonombatant , but was at the front In
.
thl capacity of correspondent of the Chicago
Republican .
Mr. Finerty was one of the staff of hrl-
, . , lant young journalists with whom Wibr F.
I , Storey surrounded himself In the palmy days
of the Chicago Times. As a correspondent-
' at-Iarg , Mr. lnerty traverEed the western
half of the nation , from British Columbia to
S the Gull. Every expedition against the In-
S. . ' dians of any moment from tIle Rosebud
campaign of 1876 tb the retirement of Sit-
' 7 ting Bull to Manitoba In 1880. were followed
by Mr. Fluorty and sketched by him from
start to fnish , I Is interesting to recall
the fact that Mr. lnerty. when about to
join the expedition against the Sioux and
S Cheyennes In the pprlng of 1876. begged permission -
mission Custor. to follow tM fortunes of the gallant
S
-C "You are going with Crook's column " said
_ S Mr. Storey , with his customary decisiveness
and rapidiy ,
S "I understood I was to go with Custer , "
S '
rejo'nd the . correspondent ; "I know Gen fal
Custcr , but am' not acquaInted with General
: ' 4. $ Creak. "
'
S "That will male no difference whatever , ' . '
; replied Mr. Storey. "Terry commands over
Custer , and Crook , who Imow5 more about
' . . Indians , Is 1ely to do the hard work. Custer
Is a brave soldler-non braver , but he bas
: been out there acme years already and has not
.j ? , succce&d In bringing the Sioux to a decIsive
S engagement. Crook did well In Arizona
; - However " ; It 15 ! al settled that you go with
- Crook .
s/ TO Mr. Storey's decision Mr. Finerty Is Indebted -
a . debted for having his scalp Intact teday.
I- "Lot mo warn ycu , " saId Mr . Storey as a
parting Ialute , "that you wi find General I
- Crook , n hard campalh'lr. "
S Subaequent events justified the predicton I
. o the veteran editor. From the start at
. 'Fort Russell In May until the junction with
- - Terry on th Yellowstone In August , the frUlt-
' less joint chas3 for a hot IndIan trail , and
the march tO the Black Julia In September , '
there were a succession of Indecisive engage-
menb with the redskins , perilous marches ,
' 11rllnl adventul md hardships unsur-
S j passed n bcrder warfare. Besides General I
Crook . there wore with the expedition such m
brave "fcns as Htyal , Dourl , Reynolds

that when a special levy was mall the board

cities . There Is probably no city In thl
United , States where there Is more perfect
and extensh'o organization for chariable pur .
poses than there Is In Omaha this winter
Many lessons were learned last year and foremost -
most among then was time utter Inadequacy
of all efforts at relief unless there was n per-
feet understanding and co-operation among
these wh were engaged In time work. Tb"
result was that early this year an earnest
anti successful effort was made to unite all
unie al
hands under one organization , so that the
entire territory could b covered ) vlh justc !
to all who ne ded and deserved assistance.
When aid was being '
given through several
different agencies It was ' usually the case
that some receIved mora than the ) ' needed
whlo others , who were equally deserving ,
were entirely neglected , or else , after being
abundantly supple fer 'a brief interval wer
subsequently left to surfer wllhout relc ! In
many cases well meant efforts at relief only
served to complicate the problem and the
resultant confusIOn tended to pauperize some
while others were entirely overlooked.
HELP ' HEADY AT HAND.
I may 'be truthfully said that In spite of
time fact that there Is more real destitution
destuton
and poverty this wInter than ever before
there Is not a single family In Omaha that
needs help that Is compelled to do without
it. This conclusion was reached by wihout , ,
reporter after a careful canvass of time situa- ,
ton as regarle' by upwards of a score of the
most active and observant workers In the :
cause of charity. The matter was brought I
up the other day In the ofco of Assistant
City Attorney Cornish , where Mr. Cornish
wih hal a dozen councilmen and others , was
discussIng tw advisability of some acton by
time council to assist In the work , of relief.
The question arose with the mention of Coun-
clman Prince's soup house resolution , and
opinion was very equally divided as to the
duty of the city In the matter. I was urged
on ono side that an emergency exIsted In
which time city was In duty bound to tale
some active steps to relieve the existing con-
11Ions , Others contended that such action
would be productive of harm ralher than acton
eflt . The mlnuto that It was known that , the
city council had undertaken the work of re-
lct , scores of benevolent people who now be-
levlt It to be a part of theIr religion to do
sonmething for the poor In their neighborhood
would at once leave the field on the plea that
now that the city had taken It up they were
relevel of all responsibility. I was also as- ,
sorted that time only way to reach the de
sired end was by co-o eration with the organization - .
Izston that already had the matter well In i
hand , and that Ir the city was to take any
'part In the work . 1t could bo best aCCOlt- 5' '

ON HUMANITY'S PLANE
After some further dIscussion ! It was unanimously -
mously resolve- that Is would be a goxt Iden L
to investigate the mater a little before the '
council met again and the reporter and one
of the couelmen started out on the quest
They were surprise t find how'methodlcal I

wants of distressed. hum nly. Under the
bead of the AssocIated Charities was found organized -
ganized alt the churches In the city. Catholcs
and Protestants Jews and Gentiles , were
working enthusiastically. and harmoniously
In a common endeavor. Besides the church
organizations there are many Indpendent
workers , who are In the field from pure benevolence -
nevolenco and who co-op orte In most case ,
with the main organization. The entire cit : rri
was first districted , and each district Is In
charge of a subordinate head , who In mot
cases Is a clegyman. A house to house can
vass has been made In each case and I timer
Is a destute family In the city whose condi-
ton Is not known to some 'ne of these work :

wiing to bo helped , but hundreds of in -
stances ' have been discovered where time need
were too prcud' to ask for assistance . and .
those' are helped fit a manuel- 'that relieve s
their distress wIthout ' humiliation. As a
rule no record Is kept of the names of tbHo
:
people. One of the , most active' workers
stated tbat alma , had twenty families In her !
territory whose names wro known to no
one but herself. and she regarded It as a
sacred confidence. ' They were people whose
condition had only been learned In spite of
thems&lves. They would rather die than have
their neighbors know that they were suffering -
Ing and she obtaIned supplies of food Ind
clothing on hr own responsibity , wheh :
were distributed among them.
SCHOOL TEACHERS AS ANGELS
Foremst In the charitable work were
found a number of time school teachers ot the
dty . With a very few exceptions , l , the
prIncipals or the schools are devotIng a iarge
part of their spare time to investigating ahl
relieving cases of destitution among the fam-
iies whose chidren attend theIr 6chols. At
one or two of time schools the eptre corps
of teachers Is organized ! Into an active char-
liable society and hundreds of grateful hearts
all over time big city testify to the earnestness
anti ( tac with which they Ilavo conducted
their campaign agalr t poverty . These
teachers are also working under time general
supervision of time AssocIated Charites , but
they reach many cases that would otlmerwlse !

As far as the soup house question was
concerned . It encoullerlJ nothing ! but 01111-
sitlomi. Not a sllGlo worker who was ae-

good , and It might do much harm by attracting -

Secretary Laughlane of the Associated Char-
Iles Bald that If the council wanted I soup
house I could easily be accommodated. There
at the headquarters they had everything

the counci would supply the meat and veg-

The Increascd carrying capacity of freight
cars commenced about 187 [ Previous to that
year 20,000 pounds was the malmum weight
nlowe to a lull car loai , and very stringent
rules were In force to prohibit loadIng boyand
that weight. There was o\'en nn inflexible
rule In force on some railroads charging dou-
ble first class rates for every Pound In excss
of the mnxlmum linmit. But all this has
changed management. with the changing conditions of . railroad -
The average weIght of box cars In those
days was 20,000 ounts , and the weight of
car amid load was 40.00 pounds. The led
lmit was first increased to 28,000 pounds , then
to 30,000 , and for several years 40,000 pounds
was the maximum. Shippers , howe\'er. began

the demand for larger capacity time ralroass
adopted a &O,000 pound capacity car and at
time present time few cars are built , except
those having 1 CIIcly of : GOOOO l u1ds ,
The car of this capacity Is totay rrgarlel as
one of modern make and weighs from 32,00
to 35,000 pounds when emlty , and when
loaded to its ful capacity It weighs 95,00
pounds WIth these figures before one , U Is
readily seen that the modern car carries three
times the led of frclght as Its prototype or
1875.
1875.Provlous to 1876 , 300 to 330 bushels of wheat
was the lmit of cargo allowed In n car of
that time : today the modern car carries 1.00
bushels , and very few are loaded less than
that.

coal cars are of GO.OOO capacity. The 'tocc

want a thirty-six foot car for stock shIpments -

Special freight cars are built to carry n load
of 80,000 to 100,000 pounds , and the car and
load pounds. . very often weIgh from 120.000 to 140,000
But these are not the only new features
of a rapIdly Increasing srlce. The shipment -

50 feet to 60 feet In legnth , from nine feet
wIde to tn fet four Inches from 1.000
pounds In weIght to 80.GOO pounds , while
Pullman coaches are frequently met with
having sixteen sctons. A l'ulhnan car
twenty-five years ago weighing 60,000 pound
was considered a very heavy car . but today
they weight 100,000 pounds and are seventy
