come to a decision , they all continue to hope
It Ins been generally talked for some time
past tint the appointment of the new mem
ber would be made the occasion for a general
reorganization of the relative duties of the
members. It was opined that there would
bo a new chairman and that Chairman Win

recently stated that the Idea of Mich a change
has been abandoned and that Mr.Vlnspear

Ever since the two strongest men In the
troupe of Arabs met face to face at Court-
land beach there has been a great deal of
boa tlng upon thplr respective ability ns
sword fencers. Doth have given exhibitions
before the sultan , but they have never met
face to fac ° until Slo Hassan Hen All con
solidated the Arabian forces at Courtland
recently. Since then Hen All has heard
( .0 . much boasting and blowing about their
relative merits from each of these gladiators
that he has concluded to give them a chancp
tomorrow night to "show what they are
made of" Htn All Is to be the judge and
these two champion broadsword lighters
will first go thnugh the stick exercise known
to Arabs ns "Shmealats , " and second for
points with Aiablnn scimitars and shield ?
The Slo says ho Is thoroughly conversant
with every point In sword fighting and he
will decide the fight upon Its merits , giving
the winner n medal himself. He says
American pugilists and base ball players
nro no fun at all In comparison with this
oriental game and Mohammedans consider It
the only true method of lighting In that part
of the world.
In addition , a tumbling race Is to take
place tomorrow night between Tayon Kltch ,
Japanese , and Salen Hen llatlj , Arab. This
Is In connection with the regular Courtland
beach attractions for tomorrow evening.

been removed to No. 2's Ijouse on Tenth

In the Harney street house. Before
the change there was no hO e at the Harney

fire The loss over Insurance was $115 , which

SUE WAS ONOS AN OMAHA GIRL-
Uninnn VV lie Mt r > } tnti lloUrrpti liruliur

Vcra Stanwood , the lihndcome , dashing anil
unscrupulous woman who Is said to have
stolen the affections of Cbamplon Jim Corbett
from bis wife , Is well remembered by many
of the local men nboiit town. She was an
Omaha girl and It VT.IH In a Ninth street
resort that she started out an the life which
she bus since followtA with enough notoriety
to satiate even the most exacting member
of the lower world.
The woman's right name Is Jessie Taylor.
At the time of her birth her father was a
switchman In one of the Omaha yards , while
her mother and a sinter still reside on North
Sixteenth street In this city. Prom her
earliest years she was not satisfied with the
fare which the switchman's salary provided
and tn looking for a chance to better her
self she found and accepted a position In a
down town res'mi rant At this time she gave
abundant promise of the beauty which sub
sequently enslaved the fighting champion and
she acquired a list of admirers long enough
to completely turn her giddy head
After a few years Jessie struck up an
acquaintance with Lon George , who was
driving a hack at that time. She finally
married him. After three or four years of
married life , during which a child was
bo'ii , they dlsngreed and separated. The
woman claimed that It was on account of tlio
cruelty of her huslnnd but , however that
may be , she graduated from the married
state Into a life of shame She was the
mistress of several local sports and finally
dropped down Into a tenderloin resort , where
she set a pace that made oven the hardened
skates of several years standing open their
eyes. But the town grew too slow for her
rising aspirations and about four years ngo
she went to Chicago , where she adopted the
name of Vera Stanwood , and soon became
the rage among a certain clas" of rounders.
Her face and figure gained her entrance
Into the Allen resort on Dearborn street and
thete she soon became a favorite. The Allen
place was then the swell resort of the city-
She formed the acquaintance of all of the
leading sports and some of the prominent
business and professional men of Chicago
Numerous stories are told of her mad
escapades dining her residence In the Allen
palace and she was noted as at once the
most beautiful and abandoned of the fastest
circle of n very rapid city.
A short time after she moved to Prankle
Wright's resort in Plymouth Plice and It
was there she met the big bruiser , who was
at once her slave He had visited the house
in company with a party of sporting men
and a mutual attraction has existed ever
since She went to New Orleans to see him
whip John L Sullivan in 1892 and It Is
claimed th.it she saw tlio fight from the
vantage of male attire and an eye glass
When Corbett was absent on his trips en
dearing telegrams were dally exchanged , until
a row , In which another Home of Corbett's
and a well known Chicago sporting man
figured , broke up the Intimacy for a time.
After tlio World's fair Vcra found herself
without a cent , anil after a friend of
her's , named Grace Lee , hail pawned her
diamonds the two women prepired to seek
more attractive fields They fitted themselves
up with some fashionable costumes and went
to San Tranclsco to attend the midwinter
fair. They quarreled During a drunken
orgle Vera noticed n picture of Corbett on
the wall of a wine room That started a
discussion , In which she relented some re
marks made by her companion , and after
ward laid In wait for her and stabbed her
several times. The Lee woman finally re
covered and Cornell heard of the escapade
and went back to his old flame. Since then
It Is claimed that he has promised to many
her , and Is only watting to obtain a legal
separation from his wife to unite himself
with his mistress.

The street sweeping machlnas which have
been relied on to clear the accumulated
refuse from the pavements of the city made
their final trip Sunday night and yesterday
the new plan of cleaning by day labor went
Into p-actlcal operation.
Ever since the council approved the plan
of day Hbar stre ° t cleaning Street Commlb-
sloner Kaspar h.is been experiencing all the
troubles of a man who has patronage to dis
tribute. Although less than fifty men wll
be required even when the new system Is In
complete operation , more than 700 applica
tions have b en received for positions. Mr.
Kaspar's office in the city hall has been li
a continual state of tlege and even his home
ls > not exempt from the Importunities of men
who are anxious to draw a silnrv from the
city. When ho went homo to dinner Sun
day he found thirty men waiting at his resi
lience and some of their wives even called to
urge the claims of their husbanls The
name and address of every applicant was
taken and the list tills a good sized book
They will be considered In order and the be t
men will bo given places as fast as there arc
vacancies.
The s'reet commissioner started his men
In the business district alwnt 5 o'clock yester
day morning. Work was not begun until 7
o'clock on the suburbin streets. Only elgh-
te ° n men were employed at the start , as
they were new In the work and the com
missioner did not want to start moro men
than ho could superintend As soon as the
first gang becomes , acquainted with the sys
tern , more men will be added and from thlr y
to forty will eventmlly be employed.
Mr. Katpar said yesterday that he was
sure that the experiment would be a success
Tlio men seemed to take hold of the work
In good shape and In a few days they would
lip able to get along more rapidly. Some ol
the streets were In very bad condition to
start on as they had not been thoroughly
cleaned for some lime , but after the new
system was thoroughly under way ho ex
pected that better results would be obtained
than under the contract system.
Under the present system , men with brooms
sweep the dirt Into piles , after which ' It is
shoveled Into push carts , and eventu illy
It Is transferred to wagons , which haul it
away to the dump
