The communication sent to the cvccullvo
commlltco of the exposition at Its last meet
ing by a special committee of the Board
of Lady Managers louchcd the keynote of
a sentiment which has been strongly Im
bedded In the mlndg of those who have been
mainly Instrumental In calling the Trans-
mlsslsslppl and Inlernallonal Exposlllon Into
being , viz : to have something in Ihe way
of permanent buildings or decorations of a
lilgh order which may be preserved an lastIng -
Ing monuments of the great show.
This special committee of the woman's
board consisted of Mrs. Kcysor and Mrs.
Harford , and they urged upon the executive
committee the necessity of at once taking up
the mailer of making provision for securing
works of art of a permanent naluro which
shall form a part of the decorative features
of the exposition and which may be Installed
in Kountzo park or some of the other public
parks after the exposition shall have pa.iscd
into history. The committee dwelt particu
larly upon the Idea ot securing statues of
wild animals and Indians for the reason
that In a western exposition , such ns the
TransmlssUslppl Exposition will undoubtedly
bo considered , It will bo particularly ap
propriate lo have art'lstlo repreaentatlons
of the former denizens of the boundless
prairies , especially so as the originals of
thcso Ideal representations have well nigh
dlcappcarcd and will soon be numbered
among the things of the past.
In this communication the special com-
nilttco suggested that arrangements be made
with Captain Edward Kemys , the Chicago
artist who has gained wide renown as thu
greatest llvlm ; sculptor ot American
wild animals and Indians. It was
BUggcflted that Mr. ICemya bo re
tained to make a number ot statues
of peculiarly western design , showing the
American Indian as ho was at the time
when ho reamed the boundless prairies un
disturbed by the encroachments of thu white
man , and depleting , also , the American
bison , that fleet monarch of thu plains who
has almost entirely disappeared. Some of
the lesser animals wcro also suggested as
suitable for decorative purposes bmldeii serv
ing as lasting examples of natuial history.
It was urged that these statues could be
"dono" In a permanent material at a slight
cost compare 1 with their Immense value
and utility as works of art of blstoiic value ,
but the committee was reminded that woik
of this character required time for Its pre
paration and stcis should bo taken at an
early day to have the work commenced In
order to Insure Its completion by Juno 1
next year.
MEMENTO OF THE EXPOSITION.
This communication from the woman's
board wzs very favorably regarded by some
of the members of the executive commltce.
( Manager Itos water , cspejlally , urged that
decorative material ot a permanent natuiu
should be secured In order that the city
may have something tangible to show as a
memento of the great exposition , and ho
favored taking prompt action on the sugges
tion of the women. The matter was finally
referred to the Department of Buildings
and Grounds for recommendation.
This suggestion on the part of the
Doard of Lady Managers cpcns a wide
flfld for securing permanent decoration for
the public parks and the museum which Is
to bo established In Omaha sometime. The
scheme of decoration for the exposition
offers plenty of oppo : Utilities for securing
material of this kind. The arrangement
of the main court now provided for statuary
on the grand plaza surrounding the lagoon.
At n point on the .south side of the lagoon
lialf way between Twentieth and Sixteenth
streets. Just between the Manufactures bluld-
Ing and the Liberal Alts building , there
is a sharp Incline towards the east , necessi
tated by the difference In elevation between
Twentieth and Sixteenth streets. A broad
Inclined plane occupies the middle of the
plaza at this point and on either side will
be a flight of broad stairs. Between each
of these lights of steps and the Inclined
plane will be a broad pedestal upon which
It IB proposed to place a statue of somu
kind. At n corresponding point on the north
side of the lagoon Is a similar arrange
ment for carrying visitors from a lower tea
a higher elevation , the two furnishing
pedestals for four statues of a large size.
If no other opportunity offered here would
bo excellent polntn for the placing of strik
ing figures such as gazed out over the
lagoon In the court of honor at the World's
fair. There arc other points about the main
court where opportunity Is offered for the
placing of such figures and Iho park on
the bluff tract offers ample opportunity for
the placing of an unlimited number of
statues of wild animals peculiar to the west
KEMYS AS A SCULPTOR.
In this connection a few words regarding
Captain Edward Kemys will servo to recal'
Iilm to the n.lnds of many citizens of Omaha
He Is host known hero by his famous figure o
a buffalo's head , which graces the Union Pa
cific bridge across the Missouri river a
Omaha. This monster head of the formei
king of the plains Is most unfo-tunately lo
catcd for the Inspection of visitors , howovei
picturesque may be the Idea which caused I
to bo placed where It Is , typifying the resent
ment of the king of beasts to the encroach
incuts ot HIM Iron horse. This head was
made by Cantalu Kcmye , and Is only one o
the many proofs of M& ability as a eculptoi
of wild nnlmils. The pair ot lions which
guard the front entrance ot the Chicago Art
Institute aru his work , and the piece recently
placed , ln the Ccrcoran Art gallery nt WashIngton -
Ington , "Fighting Panther and Deer , " Is con
sidered ono of his best efforts , Mr. KeiuyH *
.work . at the World's fair also attracted wldo
attention.
Captain Kcmys Is the founder of a school
ot art peculiarly his own. Ills knowledge of
the form and habits of wild anlmalx was
gained by tracking the boasts to their lairs
and studying them from a convenient covert.
Ills knowledge of the American Indian was
pained on the bread prairie , when the Indian
roamed undisturbed by the white man , The
result Is teen In the accuracy and freedom
which characterized .his work , and which
make him ono of tle | greatest sculptois of the
men and animals characteristic of America
end which will .soon bo seen only in stone ,

.The disposition of property owners In
aver of new pavements continues to de-
clop as It becomes apparent that the con-
racts that are let this year will be at prices
hat have never been previously approxi
mated and which arc not likely to be equalled
again. The repaying of the strip on Slx-
ecnth street between ( toward and Leaven-
sorth streets , and of the remaining four
ilocks at the west end ot Farnam street ,
are now assured , and It la stated that AY ,
S. Poppleton and Herman Kountze , who
wn all the abutting property on the district
comprising Sherman avenue from iLocust to
\Vlrt strcels , have decided to sign a pell-
Ion to rcpave. An effort was made some-
Imo ago to secure this petition but Mr.
: 'oppleton was not ready to act at that tlmo.
Jlty Kflglneer Roscwater says that as all
ho property Interested Is owned by two
icrsons the matter can bo so expedited by
unanimous consent , the district can be
> aved thU fall.
The Wlrt street repaying , which was un
successfully attempted a couple of months
ago. Is alsa said to bo very likely to be
'aken up again very soon. A large part of
.ho property on this street Is owned by Mr.
Kountze and It Is said he Is very favorably
llsposcd to take advantage of the prcsmt
'ow prices and have the street repavcd bc-
'oro the exposition. During the last few
nonius Mr. Kountze has been making some
very extensive Improvements on his city
iropcrty. A large number of his lots have
a graded , 'deluding the entire block at
Thirty-sixth and Farnam streets , onhlch
K handsome lesldence will probably be
erected next year. Mr. Kountze has also a
'arge force of men at work repairing side-
ivalka and replacing wooden walks with per
manent ones. A new brick walk has just
liceu completed arourd the entire block at
Thirty-sixth and Farnam streets.
There has bera a good deal of misunder
standing in regard to the declared policy of
ho engineering department and the city
council relative to thu wooden walks. Dur-
m ; the last three years a great degree ot
latitude lias been allowed In this respect
as the city officials were unwilling to assess
cpeclal taxes where It could be possibly
avoided. The result has been a general de
terioration In tl.c quality of the woaden
walks rnd a consequent accumulation of
lamago suits against the city. The ofllclals
now take the view that the time has come
when It Is for the Interest of all concerned
lti.it the nuisance should be abated and a
force of inspectors has been thoroughly
checking up the wains all over'the city. A
largo amount ot permanent walks and re
pairs have been ordered and many property
owners are protesting that they are being
compelled to pay for new walks when the
use of a few pieces of plank would make the
old walks last for another year or two. City
Attorney Council suggests that the property
owners have the right to go ahead and fix
up their walks them-olves at a small ex
pense , and that the action taken by the
council does not prevent them from doing
so. If they can put their walks In good ccn-
illtlon they will not be Interfered ivitli , and
a little effort on their part would prevent
a good deal of the trouble that Is being
ttrrcd up.
Although many remedies arc pushed 'Into
the market by spicy advertising , Dr. null's
Cough Syrup still takes the lead.

There Is some talk of providing the city
with a patrol wagon to do away with what
Councilman Barrett calls excessive livery
bills. The council committee on fire and
water will look Into the matter and report
the cost of a team and wagon at the next
meeting of the round ! , This action Is taken
at the suggestion of llarrett , who sees a
chance for bettering the police service and
at the same time saving money , Some of the
city officials contend that a patrol wagon wli :
not bo of much account unless patrol boxes
are placed In service. Barrett things that
for the tlmo being private or business tele
phones can be used. Ho docs not , he says
think that any one having a telephone would
refuse to allow a policeman to use It In case
of an emergency.
According to bills new on file with the city
cleric the city's livery bill for he past three
months has been $140. Of this amount $00
was expended In September alone for horse
and buggy hire by the police department ,
At present and under the system now it
vogue the chief of police goes to a livery
stnblo and obtains a horse and buggy when
ever ho wants to and the city pays the bill
No ono questions the necessity for so many
rigs , nor Is any reflection east on Ohio :
Brcnnan by thfc members of the council who
desire a reduction of the livery bills. Chle
IJrcnnan Is compelled to bo out at all times
of night and It Is claimed makes frequen
tours of the city to see that everything Is al
right ;
llarrett asserts that a patrol wagon cai
bo maintained for considerably less money
thqn Is now paid for livery rlga and ho pro
poses to push the matter. Again , a patro
wagon could be used in many different ways
In cases of Injury or sickness the wagoi
could carry persons to the hospital , thus
saving the expense of getting a carriage
from a livery stable.
Some tlmo ago the Nebraska Telephone
company offered to place In position am
maintain a syhtem of patrol and fire alarn
boxes for less than $200 a year , piovlded tha
a five years' contract was entered Into. The
council abandoned the project on accoun
of no funds , but now It may have to be callei
up again. The city Is growing and will
the largo Influx of strangers better polices
protection Is needed. Every ono admits tha
the present police force Is too small for the
slzo of the city. With police boxes and a
patrol wagon the present force would , It I
thought , bo enabled to give much bettc
protection. Other councllmen think will
Harrctt that some scheme ought to bo de
vised whereby the livery bills will be re

Local merchants appear to bo entirely sat
itiflcd with the provisions of the ordinance
recently passed regulating solicitors am
runners. For a long tlmo home merchants
have been annoyed by solicitors from Omaha
who came down hero and by mlsreprenenta
tloiiH succeeded in Inducing trade to go to
Omaha , Complaints wcro constantly made
by the merchants about the boldness of these
outsiders and a number of ordinances have
been drafted , but none seemed to fill the
bill exactly. A license of $100 a year wa
provided in one of the ordinances recent ) ;
repealed. It was thought that this htgl
tax would keep the Omaha people away
but it did not for they would take out i
six months' license In the fall for Just hal
that sum , and abandon , the field In the sum

license of $25 for every runner or sollclto
employed. Further than this these runners

Mr. William E. Curds writes to the Chi-
cngo Record an Interesting account of the
llfo of students nt the University of Paris.
Mr. Curtis Una been abroad for several
months and having visited other continental
universities , contrasts them with the famous
Institutions of the French capital. There arc
between 28,000 and 30,000 students In the
different colleges of the University of Paris ,
ho writes , ecvernl times as many as arc
found In any other educational Institution
In the world. The University of llcrlln
stands next In numbers , with a total of
9,223 students upon Us rolls , of whom 3,385 ,
however , arc not regularly matriculated ,
which means that they arc simply attending
lectures without going through the usual
formalities that they do not Intend to pre
sent themselves for examination and are
not candidates for degrees. There are 29,127
icgularly matilculatcd students In the twenty-
one universities of Germany. Munich stands
next to Berlin , with 3,021 , and Lelpslc Is
third , with 3,319 students. There are a num
ber of universities In France , but that at
1'arla offers such superior advantages that
the others arc attended only by students
who prefer to remain near their own homes
or desire the Instruction of some particular
piofcssor.
In the University of Paris there are over
10,000 medical students. At Vienna there are
about 1,000 more. In Paris there are 8,000
students at the School of Fine Arts. Some
of them have enrolled their names only
for the purpose of obtaining admission to
the model rooms and securing other advan
tages \shlle they pursue their studies In the
studios of outside artists who are not con
nected with the university. Over 100 lectures
arc delivered dally In the various schools
of science , philosophy , medicine , law , divin
ity , bcllcs-loUrcs and other branches of the
University of Paris.
AMERICAN STUDENTS.
There are about 1 GOO American students In
Paris , most of them In art , and about 800 In
Berlin , most of them In music , phllosophj
and the sciences. In France the degrees and
diplomas are granted by the national govern
ment and not by the universities , as In Eng
land , Germany and the United States. These
diplomas and degrees convey special rights
and privileges which cannot be enjoyed by
foreigners , and therefore It has been dial-
cult for an American student to obtain a de-
gice from the University of Paris unless he
becomes a citizen of France. This condition
of affairs , although it has added dignity to
the degrees and diplomas and has been con
ducive to the high order of technical ability
which distinguishes the learned profcss.onu
In France , has repelled foreign students In
every line of study except art and has com
pelled Americans to peck the advantages of
the German universities.
For several years a committee of American
educators , with the co-operation of sympa
thetic friends In France , have been trying to
obtain concessions In this respect , and they
have finally succeeded in persuading the
Conscll Superieur de 1'Instructlon Publlque ,
which has supervision of the French educa
tional system , to create a new degree lu the
scientific and literary branches for the bene
fit of American students. These now degrees
arc called the doctorats univcisitalre and can
be obtained by all foreigners. The standard
of learning and the severity of the examina
tion are the same that are required for the
full regular degree , but the doctoral unlvensl-
talre carries with It no professional Immuni
ties or privileges. It Is granted under regu
lations provided by the council of the univer
sity and Is delivered lu the name of the
Conscll Superieur < Jo 1'Instructlon Publlque
by the president of that body , In the i-amc
manner as the regular degree granted to
Prcncli scholars.
PRIVILEGES OF STUDENTS.
As In the universities of Germany , Eng
land and other countries of Europe , the
students at the University of Paris are not
required to attend lectures unless they
choose to do so , and have complete control
of their own time and conduct unless they
go in for degrees , when they must submit
to examinations that are bevere tests of
their knowledge. In France , as In Germany ,
boys are first S3nt to gymnasiums when they
are 12 or 13 years of ago and spend live
or six years In study and under discipline
that Is much more severe than is that of
the preparatory schools and colleges of the
United States. It is a severe ordeal , but
when they pass their examinations and arc
admitted to the unlvrslty they are supposed
to be capable of self-government and to
judge of their own Interests. All restraint
is tin own off. This suddenly acquired liberty
u&ually causes them to plunge into dissipa
tion and Indulge In Idleness as a reaction
from the restrictions to which they have
been subjected. According to tradition this
dissipation will continue for one year , until
the student Is either satiated with vice and
pleasure and settles down to serious study or
falls to pjbs his examinations and leaves the
university. Therefore the morals of the
student are much lower than are those of
students In American colleges , and the Latin
quarter of Paris , in which they reside. Is
the scene of the ruin of a great many young
men. It la a dangerous thing for a foreigner
who Is accustomed to the conventional re
straints of American society to attend the
University of Paris until he has reached
the ago of discretion. The temptations arc
greater than In any other city and no
social pleasures are offered him except thons
which the students provide for them
selves. They are not usually such as
American mothers would approve.
During the university term : the attendance
at th3 students' ball , will average about lr,00
young men and young women. The balls
begin at 9 o'clock and cIose , promptly at
midnight. There Is an abundance of mirth
and frivolity but very little drinking or dis
order. The students have a code of etiquette
which Is strictly undeistood , and its viola
tion Is often bovcrely punished. Occasionally
a circle of admirers will form a ring and In
duce some graceful damsel to show her skill
In fancy dancing and her shoubtrlngs will
bo seen at elevations considerably above
normal. But there Is no vulgarity.
TIII3 PROFESSORS.
The members of the medical faculty of the
university deliver their lectures and attend
clinics In the bospltaln In dress bulls. This Is
an old custom and Is continued for the same
reason that It originated In order to demon
strate that surgical operations can and should
bo performed without soiling the linen 01
spotting the broadcloth of the most fasidl-
ous surccon.
None of the professors wear gowns nowa
days , except those of the law faculty , who
still wear red hats and old-fashlonoJ robes
of black trimmed with fur. The students In
jurisprudence have always been the moat
unruly members of the university , and in
early times It was necessary for their pro
fessors to have the afcslstance of a proctor , or
"bouncer , " as he would be termed In tint
United States , to preserve order and eject
those who refused to obey. This custom Ib
also continued , and the professors of Jurisprudence -
prudence are always preceded from their
robing rooms to the lecture rooms by a stal
wart person in livery , who carries a heavy
ebony staff , mounted with ivory or silver , as
a symbol of his authority , and wears a heavy
silver chain around bis neck. Hut as a rule
the students conduct themselves like gentle
men nowadays , and the bouncer , who has a
seat on the platform , Invariably goes to
sleep as soon as the professor commence *
his lecture and slumbers on serenely uatll
the last words are uttered , when he waken
up with a start , seizes his mace and leads
the way back to the robing room.
The chief mathematician at the observa
tory of the University of Paris Is an Amer
ican girl , a Mlsa Klumpkce from California ,
who , with three men assistants , makes all
the complicated calculations for astronomical
observers , and Is said to bo a genius In that
line. She has taken degrees la mathematics
and astronomy and obtained her position by
superior merit.
