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.

The county alorny delvere ! ) an opinion to the board to the effect that Itlad no right to cancel'a special levy. A petition { had been received from one of the school districts ask- big that tIme special assessment which bad been levied for time purpose of paying bonds be canceled on Limo grounds that It bad 10ney enough to meet time payment of the honds. The judiciary committee . to which the petition 'ha\ ben referred recommended that the district he exempted from payIng the assessment , as It had ben found that I was unnecesary , Stenberg objected to the reporl claiming that the board had no right to cancel a special assessment. Livesey who Is chairman of the committee . slated that he had looked Into the mater thoroughly and ho remarlc that he was getting tired of the kicking of some members , who acted Ice school boys In the board meetings.

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' ' plsho : by holdng ! up the hands' of those wile were acquainted with the situation and , , It , : necessities ; and ' aiding , 'them : by 's n andl Isl atm1tial l me ns , S , " . ' 0 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 and thorough was the work now being dent by the Associated Charities and their as- sistants. here was one cause where sect t and creed were entirely burled , and all jolno hands In an earnest effort to relieve the 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 : ers the distress has been ingeniously con eaied . Not only are those assisted who are 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 ! never bo known , They are accust med to study their pupils , and when a chid comes to school breakfates they are not long Ir finding out the truth The child Is questioned and Immedlato steps are taken to relieve , time wants , In the ramly : In many cases tbl , has to' bo accompishmed In a roundabout way , ana their innate womanly tact renders these teacher capable of relieving many families _ who would bo tos proud to accept a slstnce I It came II the ordinary nmanemer Time Cass ( street school furishes one Instance of the manner In whch !

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.
