EXPOSITION IN N1NETY-NINE

the Project in Detail.
TWO SIDES TO THE PROPOSITION
Speaker * Not of One Mind In Regnri !
to the AdvlwalilUty of UnilrrtnkliiK
the Ilepelltloii of the Great
Fair of 1808.
The members of the Builders' and Traders'
exchange gave ono of their "at homes" last
night , serving a lunch and Indulging In
punch and cigars. This feature was the
last of the evening's entertainment , the
early hours being devoted to a discussion of
the subject , "Shall Wo Have an Exposition
Next Year ? " President Vicrllng occupied
the chair and called the speakers from the
body of the house and from the remarks
made It was apparent that the speakers
wore not all of one mini relative to the eub
Jcct under discussion.
President llaum of the Commercial club
raid be has faith In the project for next
year. The exposition Just closed has shown
to tbo world the resources of this great
trausmlselstlppl country and It Is the duty
of the people of the city to get together and
continue It for another term next season
The exposition has placed Omaha more
prominently before the people than any city
In the world and continuing It next year
will clinch the opinions thus formed. The
plant IB Intact and by going out among ex
hibitors and offering true space e.ery build
ing can be filled to Its utmost capacity.
There will not be any heavy expense * to
meet , less advertising will be required than
during the last year , buildings will not have
to be erected , so that the expenses will not
be to exceed 1500,000 for the full term.
Kvery person who was hero durlns the last
numnier will bo an advertisement for an
exposition to be held next season , as all of
those who were In attendance have been
well pleased and will not only come again ,
but will bring their friends.
A. Hoepe , jr. , eald that the city has out
grown county and atato fairs and something
better must bo provided for the entertain
ment of visitors. lie was of the opinion
that If the exposition IB run on broad lines
next season It will be a good investment
and will bring In many strangris. He aug-
greted a committee composed of members
of the Hulldere' and Traders' exchange , the
Commercial club , the Knights of Ak-Sar-
Uen and the exposition executive committee
nd tbo railroads get together and discuss
( he matter with a view to outlining a plau
J. II. Dumont believed that an exposition
next year can bo made a great success than
( ho ono held last Hummer. The plant Is In
tact and now experienced men can be se
cured to look aU r U and carry on the
details. With favorable railroad ratea , Mr
Dumont argued , hundreds of thousands o
people ran bo brought here from the extreme
east next season. The speaker opposed a
close corporation and favo-d a semi-public
corporation , similar to that of the past sea
Don. This being done , tbo exposition , Mr
Duroont said , can be made a great flnancU
success.
Cclonel R. W. Richardson did not think
It advisable to bold another exposition. The
one ot the last seaton bad been successful
but he doubted If another could bo mad

Other states will not contribute and It wll

JUSTICE IS ABOVE CHARITY
Itnbhl FrniiUlln I'renvhen oil the New
Dot-rllie of feocloloicy and It *
K fleet on Men.
Rabbi Leo M. Franklin lectured last even-
ng at Temple Israel on "A Virtue that Is
Higher Than Charity. " Ho called attention
to the fact that the world i farther ad
vanced now than at the time when charity
was considered the cardinal virtue. Ethics
which taught what ought to ba have been
superseded by sociology which teaches what
a and the practical remedy for the present
conditions. Sociology Is applied ethics and
icglns uhere the latter leaves off and It
li natural that such a science should be di
rected to the dependent and the delinquent
classes. Justice Is Us keynote a higher
virtue than charity. Ho continued In dealIng -
Ing wltb this theme :
Charily so much as the old philanthropy
loved that term , so much does tbo new
Boclology disapprove of It. It saya "not
charity but Justice" justice to thos > o who
thiough evil surroundings , sickness or other
misfortunes have been made the dependents
that they are. Justice takes a hand in tbelr
behalf and will be heard. The destruction of
the poor Is their poverty , and In many
rases what , hastens their end Is misdirected
charity.
IH It chaJlty to bring your crust of bread
and take the poor man's coat ? No more
IH It charity * to bring your mlto und toke
his houl , his honor , his manhood for It.
Sociology solves the problem. It puts In
the power of every man to upbuild hlb life
and character , and jet It does not put a
premium on idleness or vice. Charity leads
to poverty and crime , justice lifts man to
the mountain heights of self-help and self-
respect.
We must educate the social conscience.
We must not pauperize children. They
must be given the means to do God's work.
The employer must pay living wages to the
employe. There ought to be a place for
every man to fill who can establish his
right to It , The working bees drive out the
drones. Wo feed them uud perpetuate their
crimes.
If we have gone a step beyond our fathers
and reached from an ideal charity to an
Ideal justice. It Is simply In fulfillment of
our duty to forge ahead. The sweet charity
that they loved has been the Inspiration of
the stern Justice that we aim to practice to
day. Charity and justice they are both
children of ( Jrd. both sent to better the
world , twin sisters , one holding the other
by the hand. In our charity may we bo
Just , and In our Justice may wo not lack 1
the saving grace of charity.

REBATE FOR DELINQUENTS
Exposition Directors Modify Their Origina
Dhidend Resolution.
ATTORNEY MONTGOMERY'S ' OPINION
Action of Secretary In DlHtrlbntlnic
Coiitrllmtlonn Upheld \o Ucrlilon
Itrnrlied nil to the Matter of
Sulllnir the IliilldliiKN.
At tbo regular monthly meeting of the
Doard of Directors yesterday the members j I
voted to extend the rebate on stock to all
subscribers who iihall pay the amount due i
on their stock before December 1 , and this
was the only actual business transacted.
The question of disposing of the exposition
property to a local corporation was post
poned , to be settled at ° - special meeting j
to bo called by President Wattles after No
vember 15.
The long delayed opinion of Attorney
Montgomery relative to the legal rights of
the partially paid subscribers was submitted. | I
It was to the effect that under the articles ,
of Incorporation of the association no cer
tificates ot stock could be issued until the
stock wne fully paid up. All payments'
made by subscribers for two or more shares ,
ot stock wore properly distributed on each j 1
share and they were not entitled to the
rights of stockholders until the entire I
amount bad been paid.
General Manderson Enid he fully agreed
with the attorney In bis construction of
the law , but In view of the fact that many
subscribers had been unable to pay their
entire obligations , he was In favor of giv
ing them a chance. He offered a resolution
which provided that all subscribers who had
made partial payments may pay the balance
before December 1 , and on that date re
ceive from Frank Murphy , trustee , the re
bate of 75 per cent. All subscriptions that
are not fully paid up on that date to be
forfeited.
Manager Llndscy opposed the resolution.
He declared that It was wasting sympathy
on people who do not deserve It. Most ot
them could have paid' ' up It they bad wanted
to , but they bad Hlmply laughed at the collectors
i
lectors and he waa opposed to giving them I
anything. I
HlKlitN of Delinquent * .
I
Mr. Montgomery suggested that In cast-a i
In which suit had been Instituted the sub I
scriber should be made to pay the costs.
Incidentally , he protected against what bo
termed the hasty action of the board at the
previous meeting In ordering suits dismissed.
A question developed the fact that he had
brought these suits on a contract by which
bis fee was to consist of a percentage on
tbo amount recovered.
In reply to the last speaker Manager
Rosewater suggested that the exposition bad [
enough law suits on Its hands without entangling -
tangling Itself In any further litigation. He
contended that the remaining subscribers I1
should bo given a chance to pay up It they
want to and secure their rebate. He dif .
fered with Manager Llndsey and declared I
that while some ot them might have been
able to pay , the bulk of them were wage-
earners who have dune tbelr best and are
entitled to consideration.
The resolution waa finally amended to pro-
ride that the costs should be paid by the
subscribers and then adopted , Several of j
.the directors favored paying the rebate
j directly on whatever amounts the subscribers
I had paid on their stock , but It was explained
that this would bo In conflict with the law ,
' The executive committee reported that It
had received two bids for the exposition
! property , neither of which It recommended
for acceptance. The second bid was from
the same parties who made the first propo
sition to pay $10,000 for the property , and a
number of hotel proprietors and business
men. The second bid was I17.DOO.The
committee recommended that the board turn
both bids down nd offer the property for
sale until November 15 for 117,500 , of which
$5,000 Is to be cash and the remainder pay
able on the date specified.
John C. Wharton declared ftlruself In op
position to the Idea If It contemplated an
other exposition next year. He contended
that the quicker the buildings were torn
down the better It would be for the future
of the city. Mr. Manderson also opposed the
1899 exposition project , and stated officially
that the railroads would not contribute a
cent toward It. After considerable addi
tional discussion It was suggested that the
executive committee had already advertised
for bids for the exposition property , to be re-
celvcd November 15 , and on motion of Mr.
Wllheltn the entire matter was postponed
until after that date.
HIGH SCHOOL CLASS MEETINGS
Senior * Ailn t a I'ln , a Mnttn nnil n
Yell anil the lliidy lu-clilca to
Form n Ilnnil.
Yesterday was assembly day of the dlf-
fcrcnt organizations of the High ochool ,
The seniors met to select their class pin and
adopt their school yell. After some dlscus-
elon the class decided on a shield , to be surrounded -
rounded by a geM wreath. One ot the com-
mlttee thought it would bo better to embrace
a shield In a pin ae being symbolical of
defensive and offensive of progress through
life. A vote of thanks was tendered the
committee on pins for the work It had ac
complished. Miss I-.Ua Towar , chairman , re
sponded In a very happy manner.
It was decided that the class motto ,
"Work Walt Win , " should be In Eng
lish.
lish.Much
Much di cucElon was expended on the class
yell , the young men contending that none
of the seven combinations of sylfables sub
mitted for consideration offered a sufficient
opportunity i"or the great object of a yell-
noise. This very serious drawback It was
sought to surmount by consolidating a
couple of the samples. Nearly all tbu young
women objected to this procets , as they felt
the effect of any single cry would be suf
ficient if supported by sufficient lung power.
It waa finally decided to startle the waiting
public with "Rah , rah , rsli ! Sls-boom-ah !
11. 3. Seniors. Omaha. "
Having disposed of these weighty matters
the Rcnlora adjourned to take part In i
meeting , the object of which was to form
a band to work In connection wltb the
Cadet corps , Wllfiam E. Hrooks presided
over this gathering. A number of names
were enroled together with Instruments
the volunteers can play. As there Is a great
deal of musical talent In the school they
expect to lave ono of the best amateur
bauds In the city. Next Monday night the
band will meet again. An Invitation la ex
tended to all pupils interested In music to
bo present.
I The freshmw have chosen Miss Stebblns

I Friday afternoon and form themselves Into
an organization which win bo amenable to

.AMUSEMENTS :
. . . . .
Mr. Herbert Kelcey and Miss Kffle Shan
non had the encouragement last evening of
ono of the finest and most enthusiastic
audiences which has graced the Boyd for
some time for the Initial presentation In
Omaha of their now play , "The Moth and
the Flame , " Clyde Fitch's satire on the
smart set of New York. In forming an esti
mate of the play one Is struck first by the
originality of the treatment of one phaeo
of the social problem as well aa the social
conditions of the great city. Judged by the
ordinary standards of dramatic construe-
tlon , "The Moth and the Flame" Is far from
a perfect play , but it Is like some people
not handsome in face or form , possessing
none of the little grace * which ordinarily
make men and women companionable yet
the very unconvenllonallty of whoso charac
ter and a power which shines from within
render them subjects of admiration. Some
of the situations are Improbable and some
of the character sketches border at times
on caricatures , but out of these very Im
perfections are developed , by the entirely
original treatment of the author , uorao ot
the moil effective situations which are so
full of dramatic force as to make one for
get that they exist.
Tbo first act opens with a masquerade
party at the house ot tbo Woltons and serves
to show the lengths to which the "swell
set" In compelled to go and descend to the
absurd In search of something In the way ot
amusement which the constant round of
pleasure-seeking has not rendered stale. The
small talk at the supper table Is exception
ally bright. In the midst of the revels It Is
brought homo to Mr. Wolton that his pecu
lations , which have ruined him financially ,
cannot be concealed , beyond the morrow and
ho ae no escape but suicide or tbo prison ,
and he choses the latter. The gaieties arc at
their height as the sound of the pistol shot
which ends his existence Is heard from the
room above. The curtain falls with the
revelers circling around the- distracted
j mother and daughter , who have learned of
the tragic end of the husband and father ,
and as they stand , clasped In each other's
embrace , the merrymakers sing , "And Won't
You Come Out and Play With Me. "
The perversity of woman In her lo\e af
fairs , which scarcely less than the satire on
Now York society , Is a central theme of the
play , Is also brought out In a most striking
manner. 'Miss Wolton refuses the hand of a
man who Is all that Is good and noble and
whom she esteems hUhly for a good-looking
scamp , Edward Fletcher , who bus run the
gamut of worldly pleasures and toyed with
and wrecked more than ono femlnlno heart.
In the second act this nds In a most
startling climax at the altar while the wed
ding ceremony Is being performed in the
church. Whllo waiting for the arrival of
tbo bridal couple the spectators , particularly
the female portion of them , Indulge In a
round of small talk which Is as bright as
anything of the kind It Is ever llkuly to be
one's fortune to hear. The satlro on those
who have no object In life tut to amuse
themselves Is as kten as a Damascus blade.
The scene where the woman Fletcher has
betrayed objects to the conclusion of the
ceremony In a great ono so far as dramatic
effect Is conccrnod , particularly when the
Intended bride , who has stood by him
through all the recital of the woman's de-
aertlon and refused to believe the story , de
nounces him ia a coward end turns from
him when he ntrlkes the poor creature down
far Insisting on the righting of her wrongj.
The two dominant traits of wnrut'i's char
acter constancy 10 one who has gained her
affections and abhorrence of cowardice
neldom secure a stronger portrayal either a !
the hands of author or actor , m f > plto of the

rdenly \ opened and five masked men entered
the room with drawn revolvers. They
quickly covered the men In the saloon with
their weapons and ordcied them to throw
up their bands. All compiled except Ilarcnt-
uen , who thought the affair was a joke got
ten up by some of his friends until one
of the robbers jumped over the bar and
broke open the cash drawer. Then liaront-
sen also throw up his hands and allowed
the thief to take what money ho could
find , SIC.
As there were as many robbers as there
were men In the saloon , caali robber singled
