TIHC OMAHA DAILY SHNDAT , JUNE it. ; 181)7. SOCIETY IN MONTH OF ROSES Commencements Running Neck and Neck with Weddings for Greater Prominence. HYMEN STILL HOLDS TYRANNICAL SWAY Are HrKlnnliiK lo Outntini- IHT Ai-rlMilx In Uie Wfl ly Cliron- IcIi--Miiui'riitl * SoHnl of tlif Week. The activity In tlio matrimonial field con tinues well Into Juno without apparent nliafment In splto of a tardy anil long ox- jiortoil rise of tlio uicrrury In the tube. People ple Interested In any or all branches of this nuhjcct are still obliged to work Indus- trlniisly ovcrUmo to hoop up with thfl volume of business , and although what bid fair atone ono limn to become an epidemic , eccms to liavq boon In a measure averted , the devasta tions of the wedding hublt during tbo past week have been many and far reaching In tlieir consequences. Only ono pubject peculiar to society col umns has approached hymeneal loplr In Importance during that period. Peonlu liavo come and pone much as usual , nllhough with the uenr npproach of hot wrather they uro beginning ( o go a great deal faster than they come ; pleasures that are lately past arc few ami far between. and pleasiirrs In Immediate . .wpert have dwindled to little or nothing. Tin MO themes. and thu Joys which they rep resent , are ot special Interest In the society Roasion proper , wnen Bitinnipr lieat Is yet a long way off and evening dress Is worn with proper prei'antloni agalnM pneumonia. Hut for the roininencement stage and all the rap turous pleasures attendant thereon , the early Juno days ore set apart with practical unanimity and entire appropriateness. I1 or what morn tenderly symbolic than a limp ixnd wilted collar , of the collapse of callow pride bcfnro tli ( > ardent JiP.it of the world s competition ? And from what can the svvcot Klrl graduate more filly learn that life has Its thorns * as well as Its buds and bloasoms than from the rosps that on these occa- Hlons bestrew her pathway ? They go out gallantly , these confident youiig people , to encounter the perils and obstacles which they know little of , but which their fhnol training. If rightly applied , will help them to meet and overcome In lime of need. And they arc presently lost In the mighty throng of ramniou humanity , most of them to b thenceforth unknown beyond the narrow cir cle of tliplr Immediate environment. Meanwhile the school lionws are closed , tu ! > curtains arc down and the timid crass Is BprliiRlni ! up In playgrounds where busy feet no longer rush to and fro. And the child of larger growth , who loves to renew his or liur distant youth In the sight of the happy faces of real children on their way to school , Is denied that perennial pleasure and re freshment until another autumn comes.

The cnumcrAtoi * appointed June I by Hie Board of Education to take the school census are taking a full census of the city. This work has been going on very quietly , as some ot the members of the board did not wish tbo fact to become known. At the meeting nf the city council held on May 31 iMember Knight of the Board of Education visited the council as a committee , nml asked that the council order a census ot thu city l.iken at tbo same time. This Iho members of the council refused to do , as they would bo In the power of the illoird of Education flhouM the census show a population of 10,0\)0 ) or over. In this event the council would have no ctiolro In the matter but could bo compelled to ralso ths saloon llccnso to $1,000. Certain members of Iho 'Beard ' of Education are very anxious to URVO tills dona In order to Increase lht revenue. A star chamber session ot the Board of Education was held at which It was Co- cldod In IIRVO Iho enumerators take the full census. Some of the members objected to this underhanded way of doing business , and , Cflsorte < l that the board had no right to pay I for a census other than the regular school census. The opinion of the board's attorney was asked In the mutter and he gave the I members to understand that they had no I authority to order a full census , much lass I to use school money to pay the enumerators for the additional work. After some very pointed remarks had passed between the members the majority prevailed and the full census was ordered taken. The enumerators , however , were Instructed to keep mum about the matter and to do tin * work as quietly as they could. Should Iho census show a population of 10,000 or over It Is understood that the board will make an effort to have the saloon licensee raised to $1.000. If that cannot be done , It Is thought that the board will bo In a position to demand nn increase In the llccnso next May. The , council will , how ever , be Just as cute us Iho members of the Board of Education thought they were going to be , and will refuse to recognize the census taken by the school enumerators , clnlmlng that it was not ordered taken by nor paid for out ot the funds at the disposal of the council. The city lias never had a census taken , but the government census , which was taken in 1SOO , gave South Omaha a population of 8 OC2. From the reports of the enumerators now al work it 1 estimated that the popu lation Is now about 11,000. l.ust MiM'lliiK > f ' > < ' Sfuxoii.
