' General Superintendent A. C. Tester , the
new executive officer of the exposition , has
assumed the dutlea of bin position and spent
the day In familiarizing himself with tfio
many complicated details of the work of the
Department of Dutldlngs and Grounds. Man
ager Klrkcndall turned ovo" to Mr. Foster
Uio Hugo pllo of cor cspcxulcnco relating to
various matters connected with the depart

his position In looking after the entertain
ment of visitors and distinguished guests ,
Including the making arrangements for the
celebrations which will form an Important
part ot the excrclm ? connected with the ex
position The appointment ot Major Clark-
fion to this Important position hay been the
subject of extended comment slnco the ac
tion ot the exposition management became
known , and the concensus of opinion has
been that no better selection could have been
made. The major's extended acquaintance ,
together with hli experience In military mat
ters , are regarded as giving him especial
qualifications for filling this position with
credit to hlnmlf and to the exposition. As

George Clajton , northwestern passenger
agent of the Wabish railroad , has Just re
turned from Columbus , 0. , whore ho left the
party ot Ncbraskans now touring through
the central and southern portions of the
country advertising the Transmlsslsslppl
Exposition. Mr. Clajton accompanied the
party from hero to Columbus , personally at
tending to the matter ot rallioad connec
tions and assisting In other details of the
trip Ho was obliged to leave the party on
Thursday last because of the demands of
'business ' here.
To a Bee reporter yesterday ho said : "Thlo
trip , in my opinion , will prove to bo the
most successful of any that have been un
dertaken to spread the fame of the exposi
tion. The party Is a large one and a repre
sentative one , and contains a number of
good speakers. Everwhere It Is being re
ceived royally , and in every city and town
visited the people are convinced of the real
Importance of the exposition and Its broad
scope. At every place the party visited the
leading business and professional men of the
city. The papers In all tlio cities were ex
ceedingly kind , and Invariably gave us from
a , column to a column and a half notice , be
sides locals ( or several dajs in advance of
our arrival.
" \Vo started In at St. Loula , and after the
close of the Stock exchange there ono ot the
party told the brokers all about the expo-
nltlon. Then wo were entertained at the
Manufacturers' club. The next day wo cov-
cicd VJnccnncs , Ind , meeting the mayor and
all the prominent cltlrens The southern
pait of Illinois and Indiana were crossed by
.daylight , and that evening we pulled in at
Louisville , Ky. , at C o'clock. After a fine
supper we had a big meeting and the Inter
ests of the exposition gained many real
friends It was the same thing over again
nt Cincinnati , at Uajton , 0. , at Springfield
0 , and at Columbus , 0. At the latter place
tlin governor and the legislature were unus
ually cordial and promised the support of
the state. All In all , the trip will undoubt
edly do moro real good for the exposition
than any trip that has > ct been undertaken ,
nnd will certainly make the exposition lit
erature that shall now bo tent into that
country read with much greater Interest. "

O. E. Bralnard of Ogden , Utah , transporta
tion manager for the national organization
of the Voting People's Society of Christian
Endeavor , proposes a plan to President
Wattles which Indicates that that organiza
tion has no particular sympathy with the
movement In certain quarters which has for
Its object the closing of the gates of the
exposition on Sundays.
M" . IJralnard urges that arrangements ho
iTiR'le with railroads whereby the western
roids passing through Omaha will glvo stop
overs to all delegates en route from the
west to the meeting of the national society
of the Christian Endcavorcrs which meet
In Nashville , Tcnn , July C to 11. He sug
gests that the time when these western
delegates leave their homes should bo so
arranged that they would bo able to spend
Sunday , July 3 , on the exposition grounds ,
that a meeting night bo held there and the
dolcKatcs given an opportunity of seeing the
orppfltlon , nnd that the delegates might re
main In Omaha until the evening of July
4 , thus arriving In Nashville In ample time
for the opening session of the convention.
Mr. IJralnard sas the Omaha branches of
the societies have signified their approval of
the plan ho suggests and he sa > s bo has
also received letters of approval from other
societies In the west. Ho also states that
John Wlllla Uaer , the general secretary of
the society , living at Boston , has favored the
plan.A .
A plain similar to this was followed last
year when the convention of the organiza
tion was held at San Franclaco. The rail
roads granted stopover privileges at Salt
Lake and Ogdcn , and the delegates gladly
took advantage of the opportunity of vary
ing the monotouy of a long trip. Mr. Dra'n- '
nrd urges President Wattles to confer with
the railroad authorities regarding the grant
ing of the stopover privilege and predicts
that acry largo number of the delegates
wfll take advantage of It. The president will
glvo the matter his Immediate attention and
endeavor to have the necessary arrangements
made tn order that the program suggested
may be carried out.

PRELIMINARY MEETING A SUCCESS
: More TJinn n Hntiitreil Hxitrenii Their
Intention of .lolnlnir After llcnr-
' - I'lnii M
niiI Hii\liifrn Drill.
The meeting last night to organize the
exposition chorus was a complete succew
both In point of the number of slngcro In at
tendance and In the enthusiasm with which
they entered Into the spirit of the undertak
ing. The meeting was held In , Ha > den's
muslo hall and there were Just 107 people ,
by actual count , In the chairs reserved for
the gingers when Choral Conductor Kelly
Hwung1 his baton for the first chorus. In ad
dltlon to thcfc thotc vvero n number of spec
tators , some of th6m having come as escorts
for prospective memlbcrs of the chorus , and
others being people Interested in musical
mattcrn'but ' who do not sing.
The singers were prompt In assembling
and It was but a few minutes after 8 o'clock
when Mr. T. J. Kelly , the choral director ol
the exposition , called the meeting to order
and slated % cry briefly the object for which
the meeting was held. Ho then asked Man
agcr LIndsey of the Ways nnd Means de
partment of the exposition , the department
having direct control of the music of the ex
position , to say a few words.
Mr. Llndscy said he would not make a
speech , but would merely say that It will ba
the policy ot the exposition management in
gtvo the music ot the exposition all the
money that can bo spared for that purpose
Ho promised that this feature of the great
enterprise would not bo allo.vcd to suffer ,
but will be supported I" * . substantial man
ner , and 'ho asked the singers of this vicinity
to lend the movement all the assistance In
their power.
DIRECTOR KLMIBALL'S EXPLANATION.
Prof. Wlllard Klmball , musical director ol
the oxpcsltlon , was Introduced to the as
sembly by Director Kelly. He staled that
this meeting was of greater Import to the
development of musical culture In the west
than any meeting ever before held In Omaha
or any other western city. He laid especial
stress upon the statement that the chorus
now In process ot organization would bo
generally regarded as the criterion by which
pcoplo from other sections of the countr >
will Judge the musical culture of this sec
tion and appealed to these present and to
musicians generally , as well as those Inter
ested In the upbuilding of the cause in the
west , to lend their hearly support to aidIng -
Ing tn the establishment of a chorus which
shall 'bo a credit to Omalia and the entire
w est.
Prof. Klmball then referred briefly to the
advantages which membership In the chorus
will confer upon Uioso who Identify them
selves with It. He spoke ot the opportunities
which will bo presented for hearing many
concerts by the most noted performers , In
cluding the most celebrated singers In the
world , as well as concerts bj an orchestra
of the highest standing. In this connection
he- said negotiations are now being conducted
w 1th several ot the leading orchestras of
this country and It will soon be known which
organizations will bo engaged. Returning
again to the benefits to bo derived b ) nieni-
'bers ' of the chorus , Mr. Klmball said the
chorus will not be asked to sing more than
once or twice in any week , but members
will bo admitted to the Auditorium on any
day when concerts are to > bo given , anillthis
privilege alone , ho said , represented at least
$23. The practice which will bo acquired
by rehearsing before and during the exposi
tion will bo valuable to all singers and all
that each member of the chorus Is asked -to
paj Is ? 5 to assist in defraying some ot the
minor expenses. ,
In closing , Prof. Klmball called attention
to the fact that the stage of the Auditorium
Is limited In size and will not seat more
tl'an about 225 singers , so that It will be
necessary to limit tbo number ot members
to about that number.
CHORUS STARTS WELL.
Thlo concluded the preliminary work of
the meeting nnd Choral Director Kelly took
charge of the proceedings. Copies of the
"Daughter of Jalrus" vvcro distributed and
rehearsal was at once taken up with this
work. Mr. Martin Calm , the well known
pianist , was present and was Invited to plaj
the accompaniment. The llrst chorus was
taken up and no delay ensued .In getting
under full headway. Tue alngers entered at
once Into the spirit of the rounlc and the
number moved with a precision and accuracj
of attack that was a source of great pleas
ure to Director Klmball , who was an Inter
ested observer. The several parts vvero fulrlj
well balance ] , although there was a notice
able deficiency In numbers In the ranks of
the tenors , but these In that row labored
energetically and the volume ot sound from
that quarter was strongly In evidence. One
chorus followed another in rapid succession ,
interruptions and repetitions being frequent
as little details vvero brought out end th
best of humor i > ovalled throughout the drill
After an hour spent In thl < 3 way Mr. Kelly
announced that ho would bo ready Saturday
of this week to try the voices of all appli
cants for membership , and asked all who
desired to become members to como to his
studio on that day between the hours of
2 nnd D p. in. Ho then askejall who intendcl
to join the chorus to glvo evidence of that
fact by rising and every chair was vacant
In an Instant. Ho p. oceeded to take the
nomes of those wishing to become momberu
and ttio ramo of nearly every person presojt
was entered on the list.
Whlln Ihlw Una hnlnir tlnnn Prrvf Vltnhnll
related briefly the various choral societies
which have expressed a desire to como to
Omaha during the exposition and glvo con
certs , to all of which members of the Expo
sition chorus will bo admitted without
charge. Ho said the exposition management
will expend about $50,000 to make the music
of the exposition a prominent feature and ho
dwelt upon tha importance of such an ex
penditure In building up the musical standIng -
Ing of Omaha. Ho predicted that It would
result In the organization of a permanent
choral society of large slzo and a high grade
of excellence and the establishment hero of
an orchestra nt the highest proficiency.
This concluded the business of the meeting
and It was announced that the second meet
ing will U > held In the same hall next Mon
day evening at 8 o'clock and all who dcslro
lo become members of the chorus were In
vited to bo urescnt at that time and place.

"I recently paid n visit 'to the peniten
tiary of Minnesota nt Stlllwatcr , " said
Charlcii II. Taylor of St. Paul , who Is reg-
Islcrcd at a local hotel , "and being a per
sonal friend of Warden Wolfcr I was privi
leged to pass some hours Inspecting the sev
eral departments of the prison. My observa
tion was that the famous Stlllwatcr prison
is among the best managed penlteitlarlcs In
the United States , that at Fort Mid1 BOH , In. ,
which has for mrny jears had the reputa
tion of bolifg the model stale's prison in the
country , no * cxcepted. I spent moro than
half an hour In the company of Cole nnd
Bill Younger of Northflcld fame , and I
found them Interesting prisoners. Everybody
knows of their terrible crime , which waa
recently revived when some friends ot the
convicts sought to secure their pardon. Bob
Younger , the third brother , ha > long since
been dead , but there In that prison 1 found
the other iii-others still doing their sentence ,
though they have been confined for nearly
tvventy-filx jcars. Both of them are broken
ph > ntcally and mentally. Cole Is the elder
and although bent with jcars and confine
ment ho manages to stand at his place In
the prison library every day and receive
and distribute hooka with nn uccuratencss
that Is Durprlsng. He positively refuses to
speak of the raid on the Northflcld bank
'
and when > ou seek to draw htm'out on thl'
subject ho simply smiles , blinks the lid ol
his blind eye and begs to bo c\cui > cd. Bill
Is employed In the shoe department of the
prison. Ho is much > oungcr than Cole anil
consequently much more active , although I
think that Cole la the bpghtrr character
The residents of Stlllwalcr are almost unan
imously in favor of the pardon of the
Younger brothers although they seem to bo
content to let 'the ' Influence of Northflcld
carry the action of the pardoning boaid
every time the Youugers' case romcs up
The people of that city , the scene ot the
famous bank raid , will never consent to
the pardon ot the brothers. Every time an
effort Is made by the frlenda ot the convicts
to sceuio their liberty Northflcld r'sca ' in
' B might and sends up a cry against the
liberation of the men which can be heard
to high heaven. In my opinion the Young-
crs will never Le pardoned. Noithfleld Is
unrelenting. "
" 'There are seven caves together in the
Cumberland mountains of Kentucky which
are destined to be a greater wonder when
entirely explored than the famous Mammoth
cavo. " said W. D. Prentice of Cincinnati at
the Millard hotel last night. "Theso mvstc-
rlous holes In the earth are located at the
end ot a branch of the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad leading from Stone City , Ky. , and
although Ihey have been discovered fullj
ten years their mysteries are unknown. 0111-
Go-Nunk Is the Indian name for the caves ,
which in the English language signifies the
Place of Caves The Interior beauties of
these caves and their wonders aio being
developed constantly , until now all tourists
to this part of Kentucky find as much to
Interest thorn in these caves as they would
find in Mammoth cave. "
"Nearly all of the coal mines In the Nor
thern Illinois district are now In operation
after lylnrf idle for eight months on ac
count of the strike , " said M. AV. Jack , of
Streator , 111 , who la the guest of an Omaha
-lotel. Mr. Jack Is general manager of a
laigo bottle factory. At his plant moro than
10,000 bottles are blown every day. "The
great coal-mining centers of our Immediate
section , " ho said , "Peru , LaSallo nnd Streat-
or , have until recently been paraljzed on
account of the strikes. Thess labor troubles
meant the Idleness of about 15,000 miners
In the district , nnd corsequently business
was stagnated. But all of these troubles aio
ended now and the miners have gone back
lo work. As a result money Is again finding
circulation , and It will not be long ere busi
ness in our section will again resume Us
normal condlllon. I do not look for an
other strike among the coal miners for sev
eral years. The miners have about como to
Iho conclusion that there Is nothing In these
protracted strikes , and the opcralors seemed
determined to aibltrate all differences. If
they succeed in carrjing out their present
shemo of arbitration and concession which
has boon Introduced in our section It Is

"If this congress refuses to annex Hi-
wall , " said E. T. Drummond , of Foreman ,
La. , who Is on Omaha visitor , at a holel
last night , "tho pcoplo of my state will
show their appreciation of the policy b >
carrjlng Louisiana for the republican party
nt the next presidential election. In my
state the all-absorbing question at present
Is the war In Cuba , bcciuso It carries with
It excitement and adventure , but next to
that comes the Hawaiian question. The
sugar growing Interests of Louisiana are
determined to light annexation to the end.
They are our greatest industry and consequently
quently they cannot afford lo bo Ignored.
Thus far wo have every icason lo believe
that onnexallon will not carry , and we are
placing our future prosperity In the hands
of this congress. If the annexation question
should happen to get the upper hand of con
gress our sugar industry would bo ruined.
Louisiana planters and refiners cannot possi
bly compete with the mothoJ of sugar pro
duction which Is In vogue In Hawaii. "

presence as sucats of Mrs. S. T. Horcr ot
Philadelphia , the celebrated teacher oC
household economics , and 'Mrs. ' Urquohnrdt
Leo of Chloigo , who Is equally well known
as n specialist in parliamentary law. As
the club desired to hear both thcao ladles
business was curtailed na much as possible ,
the most important Items bchiR the adoption ,
without alecuBslon , of resolutions presented
by Mrs. lleldcn , which reopen the question
ot co-operation between the club anil the
exposition. The resolutions are as follows :
He It resolved : KIrst , That the Omnha
Woman's club Is In sympathy with the
nducntlonnl bureau oC the Trnnsmlsslsslppl
Imposition.
Second , Tlmt we. n < t n club , desire to co

Mrs. Metcalt announced that the monthly
muslcil of the musical department would

would bo In charge of her and Mrs. Martin
Calm. The doiartmcnt of household eco
nomics ga c notlco that It would hold no
session this week , and the department of
social science ga\o an Inflation to hear a
paper which will bo read by Mr. R II.
Sackett on the "Government of German
Cities , " at Its meeting of Monday , Tebruary
2S. A touching tribute was raid to the
memory of Miss Frances AVlllard by Mrs.
Harford , and the club rose and stood for a
moment with bowed heads In token of Its
sorrow over her death. After which Mrs.
Andrews commenced a memorial service , to
which she hnltca the club.
JIUS. UOREH'S MISSION.
Mrs. Uiirer was then Introduced and she
made n. speech bristling with good points.
She KUVO It as her opinion that the Woman's
club Is chiefly valuable In breaking up
cliques in city life , and she announced her
mission to be a similar one , except that It
was directed to a "breaking up of hotels
and bearding houses , " which she consldirs
an o\ll , to bo reduced to a minimum. She
pleaded for simplicity In housekeeping and
especially in entertaining , and she would
'havo ' "the joung girl housekeeper begin
where her mother did. " She argued for
manual training for both girls and boys ,
and for less algebra and more language hi
high schools , and she paid trlbatc to the
kindergarten In very warm commendation of
its principles.
After u few moments recess Mrs. Leo was
Introduced by Mrs. Harfordho expressed
the pleasure of the department ot parlia
mentary practice that It was able to furnish
the club the sen Ices of an expert upon
tills day of Its responslbilit } for the pio-
grnm. Mrs. Leo made a few introductory
remarks upon parliamentary practice In
general , and then calling for a motion , she
conducted a drill which was an object lesson
In parllamentaiy tactics , and ns such was
followed with the keenest Interest. All the
dependent motion ; , possible from the ques
tion of consideration to the motion to lay on
the table were piled ono ubovo another.
Then came the motlcm to adjourn , with vari
ous ramifications , and an Incident of per
sonal prhllego with appeal , etc. , and finally ,
when every woman in the housi who had
not Kept notes had become lost In the laby-
ihith , the leader swiftly and deftly clearcl
the way and finally landeu the whole matter
Lately to the admiration of all concerned
Mrs Leo Is a woman of plea-ant voice ,
flno flguro and charming personality and
she has withal the power which success gives
in a chosen profession. She Is the president
of the Post Parliamentary club of Chicago ,
of which Mrs. Ilenrotln is secretary and
Mrs. Marian Martin treasurer. This Is a club
of nineteen well known women , including
Mrs. Potter Palmer , Mrs. Hall McCormlck ,
Mrs. Franklin MacLeagh and Mrs. Luther
Relcc. She Iu constantly occupied In Chi |
cage from Octotoei to Aprjl In teaching par
liamentary law and her uacscs are attended
by men and women alike.
Mrs. Lee was obliged to return to her worK
by an early train , which was a disappoint
ment to many who had hoped to meet her
after the club. Mrs. Rorer remained , however -
over , to an informal reception and hero were
noticed a number of guests , Including Mrs.
Hlchardson , leader of the parliamentary de
partment of the Lincoln Woman's club.

After Or. WM Jr. , got through cutting down
the cherry tree , they hart company at his papa's house
one evening , and Mrs. W. was all in n iluttor be
cause the hired girl took her afternoon oil without
putting the Washington pie in the oven before she
went out. As there was only three slices of cold pie
in the house , little Georgio was taken in the back
kitchen and cautioned not to dare to ask for pie , and
when his papa passed it round to bo sure and refuse.
Georgio , of course , was a truthful boy. lie didn't
relish the idea of prevarication , so when his papa
asked him at the table , "Georgio , my son , would you
care for a piece of pie ? " young George looked him
straight iu the face and answered , "Yes , papa , I
would like a good large piecejyou know I cannot tell a
lie. And he got it too , by George , Force of habit
