At the meeting of the directory of the rrannralBsissippl and International Exposi tion yesterday afternoon , the payment of a 12V4 Per cent dividend was ordered on the paid-up stock of the association. When paid , this will make n total of 87' , * per cent ' .hat the exposition has disbursed to the stockholders who paid up on their stock. That they will receive more money Is quite apparent , as quite a large sum remains In the treasury that Is to be held as a reserve to use In the settlement of claims In the event that It becomes ncceseary to expend It for this purpose. The dividend tliat has been declared will not 'be paid for some days , for the reason that It is not due until April 10 , and again Us payment Is contingent upon the Greater America Exposition filing a bond as a guar anty that It will remove the buildings from the exposition grounds and fill up the lagoon on the main court. The old exposition con tracted to do this , .but when the now com pany took possession of tbo property it agreed to enter Into a bond with Herman Kountze , thus releasing the old exposition from liability. As yet this bond has not been accepted , owing to the fact that Mr. Kountzo has been out of the city for some tlniB and will not return until next week. Upon his return the matter -will be disposed of and then the payment of the dividend' will be made. Tlie IloeU Inland' * Cliiliu. A majority of the directors of the exposi tion wens presi'nt at the meeting yesterday afternoon and the first matter taken up was the claim of the Hock Island road. During the early part of 1S9S this company sent n check for 120,000 to the exposition treasury. 'At ' the time It was regarded as a donation and not a subscription. Subsequently tbo secretary of the exposition forwarded to 'tho Hock Island company a stock certificate for the amount of money subscribed and now It seeks to secure the dividends , which aggre gate 75 per vent , prior to the ono ordered yesterday. Wharton & Halrd for the exposition sub mitted a legal opinion touching upon tlie legality of the claim made by the railroad company. They held that the money was turned over to the exposition , the railroad reserving the option to declare the pay ment a subscription to stock or a donation : that by accepting the certificate sent by the secretary the railroad official * ducted to retard the payment as a subscription anO as such they had a right to participate In the dividends , Mr. Hitchcock contended that the railroad company did not elect to choose between becoming a subscriber mid a donor , ns the certificate was sent by the secretary , who GRAIN-0 BRINGS RELIEF to tbt coffee drinker.

In disposing of the Hock Island matter , a committee consisting of Messrs. Wharton , Hitchcock , Lyman , Wllcox and Wllhelmy wn'3 appointed to go to Chicago , visit the railroad officials and ascertain their views upon the subject and If possible endeavor to Induce them * o waive their claims to the dividends. Dividend of 12 1-U J'er Cent. DIscuEElng tbe matter of declaring the I dividend. Mr. Hitchcock moved that 12U ; ' per cent bo paid upon the paid-up stock. ' Mr. Manderson moved as a substitute that j only 10 per cent be ordered paid. He said I that he understood that there are numer ous claims for damages pending and that In his Judginent it would be wise to have money on hand with which to settle If the claimants are successful. Mr. Webster contended that so long as a large sum remains In the treasury there is an Inducement for parties who Imagine ! that they have grievances to bring suits , i With this paid out , the exposition will be l 1 In n much butter ptsltlon to make settle- ment. j Mr. Hospwater produced figures to show I that the amount of valid claims Is not largo and that all of thorn can be settled for at ' leapt $15.000. In proof of this he cited In stances tliowlng that some suits had been settled , the parties claiming damages hav ing accepted small sums In full settlement of their original demands. One party who claimed f2r.,000 has taken $1,2SO and given n receipt In full , while another who orig inally wanted 125,000 has accepted ? 2,500 In full of all demands. His estimate was fhat the $77,000 of claims can bo settled In such u manner as to leave from $7,000 to $8,000 after paying them and the 12Vi per cent dividend. A vote being taken , the proposition to pay tbo dividend heretofore mentioned was carried by a large majority. "Give mo a liver regulator and I can regu late the warld. " said a genius.

The entire police department was In spected yesterday afternoon by Mayor Moo roe and other members of the Flro and Police brard.

Tbe commissioners found the Inspection very satisfactory and ap peared greatly pleased at tbe condition of the department. Tbe night and day shifts were lined up In tbe hall first and the roll called. The patrolmen looked neat , each having devoted tome cf his surplus muscle to polishing his shoes and brushing his uniform. Cap tain Her called tbe roll , fifty-three men responding spending to their names. The other mem bers of the force wore III or out of the city on leaves of absence. After the roll call the men were marched Into the street , where they were lln d up by Sergeant Hayes , The board passed In L front of the men , Inspecting their uniforms ' and their arms. Secretary Davis took a list of what Is ntodod for each man , as summer uniforms "ill be required by Quito a num- ber.

As a romantic actor Robert Mantell ranks well up among the best in this line , but when he essays to do Shakesperean roles It looks very much like a case of spoiling a good romantic actor for the sake of mak ing a poor tragedian. This , however , must be taken rnly ns an individual opinion , for the fair sized audience that attended the performance of "Hamlet" at Doyd's the ater Friday evening , thus proving that Shakespeare can always find auditors in this city , was liberal In Its applause. How ever , If theatrical -managers generally wish to draw largo houses to patronize Shak- sperean tragedies they must have them brilliantly Interpreted. Mediocrity , how ever conscientious and painstaking , will never be tolerated. The masterpieces of lit erature are not to be trifled with and there Is ample justification for the playgoers who prefer the least pretentious of entertain ments to a mediocre performance of the classics. Mr. Mantell will present only one more Shakesperean play during his present engagement. That will ba "Iloraeo and Ju liet" at the matinee today. This evening "Monbars" will be offered , while tomorrow he will alee present romantic plays. LOCAL BREVITIES , Two colored men entered the Boston store and took two vests.

PROPOSED CENTRALBOULEVARD EXTENSION J'nrlc Superintendent AdaniH IN In- Ntriiuted to TraiiNplmit All Suit able Trees ( Mined at Ilrotrn- Tllle by tbe 1'nrlc Hoard. The Board of I Park Commissioners at a special meeting yesterday afternoon set about securing for park ornamentation some of the old Spanish cannon captured In Cuba during the late war. The United States owns over 200 of these ancient cannon , specimens of which were on exhibition in ' front of the Government building on the ex position grounds last summer , and cities all over the country are trying to get some of them. , Action In this direction was taken In tbe ' adoption of the following resolution : Resolved , That the Board of Park Com missioners respectfully and urgently request our representatives In congress. Senator Thurston and Representative Mercer , and especially the assistant secretary of war. Hon. George D. Meliilejohn , whom we have always found to tbe loyal to Omaha as ihe metropolis of bis state , to secure for tbe Omaha parks at least three or four of the 313 cannon captured from the Spanish In the Santiago fight as memorial pieces for tbe patriotic Influence that may be bene ficial to future gent-rations of loyal worsblp- ' pers of our country and flag. i Captain Palmer Introduced the resolution. He declared that Omaha had contributed i enough soldier boys lor the war and they i have gained so much glory that their home | was entitled to some of the trophies of the war. This sentiment was very heartily echoed by other members of the board and the resolution was therefore adopted with- I out opposition. { Auk Kxteimlon of Centra ! llmileviiril , I Secretary Glllan of the Board of EduVa- tlon represented a committee from thy Northwest Omaha Improvement club , ap pointed to Induce the park board to ex tend at least one branch of tbe proposed Central boulevard from the present north ern terminus at Twenty-seventh and Burt streets to Military avenue , taking In Bemla park on the way. The proposed route of this branch of the boulevard Ic westward along Burt to about Thirty-fourth , thencp over to Bemls park and through It to Thirty- eight , thence northward to Hamilton and along the latter street to Military avenue , out .Military avenue .by the Deaf and Dumb institute , through Kontanelle park and Central park and finally eastward to Fort Omaha. Mr. Glllan IneUted tbat very little money would be required to put this route Into passable shape to tbe end of Military ave nue at least. Tbe chief thing to be done IK to plant trees along tbe route. The board agreed to furnish all trees desired to line Military avenue and also rromlbed to con sider the entire proposed route. The mem bers expressed themselves as favoring It more than any yet proposed. ThU route will not Interfere with tbe extension of another branch of the boulevard eastward on Burt street to the Nineteenth street boulevard. .MlNeellaueoim Mutter * .
