Yesterday the managers cut little figure ! n the conduct of the Greater America Ex position , They were upon the grounds , but they wore In Insignificant as a row of ci phers. The Bhow wnn In the hands of the children of the city , who made the most of the occasion , It was children's day nnd the youth of the city was out In full force. The Omaha boys nnd Rlrls wcro bestirring - ring tbcmsclvca long before the sun shot Its rays over the eastern hilts and Immediately after swallowing their breakfasts they started for the exposition grounds , many of them reaching there before the ticket scMcrs and Ratcmcn put In an ap pearance. From that time until noon there nas a steady stream of the youngsters Journeying out toward the grounds. They went on foot and on the street cars until In the afternoon , wjicn It was estimated that there wcro between 12,000 nnd 15,000 of the bright-faced boys and glrla romping through the grounds and buildings. It was an orderly nnd good naturcd crowd. Of course the members of this crowd were Inquisitive and want to pry Into about every thing except the management of the show- That , however , they let alone. In the Government building thousands of the boys and girls Interested themselves In the war relics and asked more questions In a minute than a hundred men could answer In a week , but they were all treated courteously nnd wcro given nil of the Information \vhlch \ they nought. The Lagoon and the fishes that sport therein furnished amusement for hundreds more of the youths of the city They fed the fishes nnd now nnd then ono who ventured too near toppled over nnd was given a cold bath. This , though , does not count for much , especially with the boys , for to bo permitted to take n swim Is more of a pleasure than a punishment. Inillnii llniiil Pit-linen ( lie Children I . If there was one thing more than another that pleased the youthful exposition visitors , It wns the Indian band that gave a concert during the morning hours. It Is true that nearly nil of the boys and girls of the city have seen Indians , but they have not seen thorn as musicians , nnd the sight of forty young Indians playing that number of musi cal Instruments was regarded In the nature of n treat. Nothing escaped the notice of the ex position visitors. Scores of them In- Hpcctcd thu roofs of the buildings , Ignor ing the danger signs nnd climbing to the top of the statuary that ornaments the domes of the structures. Just before noon a , squad of the boys was discovered In an nttcmpt to Introduce themselves to the God dess of Liberty that surmounts the dome ol the Government building. They had man aged to work their way up through the corridors riders nnd were upon the roof. Just ready to start on a crimb toward the top of the dome , when they were npprchended nnd brought down. In explaining to the guard , one of them remarked : "Wo wanted to go up and wrlto our names on the feet of thai big woman. " The restnurants , beer saloons and cafes did not profit to any alarming extent from today's attendance. Most of the visitors had money , but they -were not spending It for things to' caU They had other uses for their dimes. However , they did not go hungry , for all of them had corpulent lunch baskets and packages which contained the best from the home lardor. These baskets and packages were carried until noon , when the contents disappeared as rapidly anc completely ns dew before the hot July sun Thcro was little formality nt the noonday meal. Thcro were no' tables spread , but In stead the visitors gathered In the shade ol the colonnades , the buildings and the trcci nnd .Ignoring all rules of health bolted their meal down and In less time than It takes to tell It wcro ngnln ready tq start out on the tour of slghseclng. On the nt Having rounded up the main buildings , the lagoon and the Indian band during the v morning , the children were ready to lay Blego to the Midway. Toward this street the youngsters inarched lllto the soldiers of n wpll-drllled army , and In a remarkably short space of time about every Inch ol space was nllvo with some pretty lively humanity. They guyed the spielers , poked fun at St. Pctor and Ignored the threats of the duvll , who la playing a brief engage ment nt ono of itho concessions. They found fun In everything and plenty of It. In order < o show the little folks a good time the concessionaries reduced their prices nnd thorn was scarcely a plneo where half a dime would not admit to the show. Of course there were some children who did nol hive the prlco of admission and In mosl ( Instances when the showmen were convinced of this the llttlo fellows were passed In nnd ivero permitted to see the sights free ol cost. SCENES ALONG THE MIDWAY C'lillilrrn Kpriul 11 lny Cnr.liiK nt the Mnny AttrnrUoiiN 1're- The members ot the coming gcncrntlon were at the exposition yesterday In full force nnd much of their time was devoted to In- opcctlng tbo Midway nnd cultivating closer acquaintance with the attractions offered. In order that the little ones mlgh sen all of the concessions the. concession aires reduced their prices , many of them put ting them down to half a dime. In every Instance the llttlo ones bad the right of way and for once the older people had to occup ; thn back scats , Colonel Nlncl of the Streets of Cairo en dcarrd himself to all of the children , am to some he Is regarded as a savior. While the shows were In progress Inside ho buslci himself outside the gates , and whenever hi found a child .without money bo paescd tha one In. The show was perfectly clean am nothing occurred to corrupt the mind of even the smallest chlfd. Free donkey and came rides were given and In the theater a specla program was put on for the benefit of tbe children. Heretofore people have experienced som nnxlety , fearing that some day the thatchei roof on the buildings of Philippine Village may take flro and destroy the surrounding structures , Danger of this has now been prevented , as the owners of thn concession liavo laid pipes to all of the roofa and at a dozen or more places have located spray noz zles from ublrh water Is continually flowing. By this method the roofs are kept continually wet so that It would be IniposslbTo for a fire to originate even It sparka should fall upon the thatching. Shooting the Chutes was one of the places where the children met yesterday. By n general understanding thousands of the llttlo folk * congregated there during tbe day and evening , With tbrra It was a favorite resort nnd when not going down the slide they wcro watching others make the trip. To the popr thp rldea were frpo , To others the cost WUB almost nothing , so It Is safe to say that nearly all at the llttlo visitors enjoyed at IcAit one ride. " "he Battle of Missionary nidgo proved ih tcrcdtlng IceeoQ In American history lor ruauy of the children ytiterday , Dur- ng the afternoon n couple of hundred ot lie children were upon the platform study- ng the great picture when a veteran of the war of the rebellion appeared among them nnd after Informing them that he left a eg near the top of Lookout Mountain , gave them a short lilstory of the battle , pointing out the places where the hottest flgthlng ook place. The children enjoyed the les son and after It was over appeared to take a much deeper Interest In the picture. Lunette was ono thing that puzzled the Ulldrcn as well ns grown people. The youngsters watched the young woman ns she floated up nnd down and across tbe apartment which oho occupied nnd wondered low she could sustain herself In midair. Only the manager knew the secret and he refused to divulge It , notwlthstandng the act that he was Importuned by fully 1,000 children who wanted to bo let Into the mystery. Even boys nnd girls like to se beautiful hlngs and as a result a great many of them appeared before the members of the Con- rcss of Beauty. The glrrs who do the posing enjoyed the glancca shot at them rom youthful e > cs nnd did not hesitate o answer the childish questions pro pounded , barring the ono relative to ago. U this place for once the baldhcads bad to ntand aside nnd let the young folks lave the right of way. A Biblical leason was given the children who visited the "Death of Abel. " Of couree hey all knew the story , yet none of them realized Just how It occurred. While a crowd of youngsters were gazing nt the sorrow row of "Adam and Eve , " who had Just dis covered that their favorite son had been nurdcred , one llttlo urchin doubled up his 1st and In an undertone remarked : "If I tad that Cain hero I would Just smash him n the snoot. " Valentine , the colored man , -who acted as Weyler'a executioner at ( Morro castle In Havana , was on dress parade yesterday and while he was not admired by the children 10 was closely Inspected. It was apparent : hnt none of the children had any Jove for him , yet nil wanted to see what a man who ins killed his victims by the hundreds looked like. like.The Scenic Hallway was a great fad with the llttlo folks and If any of them did not patronize It they are entitled to a. free rlda the next tlmo that they visit the grounds. The cars were kept ou the move from early morning until late at night , nnd upon every trip they were loaded to their full capacity with the llttlo folks. The Old Plantation furnished a barrel of fun. Children enjoy seeing colored people and consequently they visited this place , singly , , ln couples nnd squads. In all In stances they were treated well. They ap plauded the cake walk and went Into cc- fitacles over the coon dances that were ex ecuted. The Marlonctteo had any number of nd- mlrcro nnd the tricks plnyed nnd the Jokes cracked by the figure * amused the chil dren wonderfully. The show caught the youngsters and after leaving the grounds the sights seen In the pavilion , with them , furnished an Interesting topic for discus sion. iSlnco the electric lighting of tbe Bluff tract has been completed that section of the exposition grounds has become the most popular resort of the evening visitors , and ns the beautiful Temple of Palmistry Is located on this tract It Is but natural that the Temple has become the most popular place on the grounds. But It Is not the 'building alone that Is at tracting the nttentlon of the vlnltors. It Is the great personality of the famous man who ' has erected tbo building and has dedicated it [ to the science of palmistry Dr. Perln , the eminent palmist. All who havf ever con sulted him are forever afterward his friends and advertisers. HEARD ABOUT TOWN. You could tell hewas a tramp by his looks. Ho had 'been shaved at least a year before and bathed well , that -wan - more doubtful. "Git down off that bike ! " he commanded , In a voice that sounded like a rusty hinge. "Olt down and shell out. " It'was a mile from town , ftllss Kate Adams got off her wheel In alarm. "What do you -want ? " she asked , too , alarmed to remember that It waa n shave and bath the tramp needed most. , "Gimme all you got , " ho growled. "And gutimo It quick or I'll go through you. " 'Although ' not an X-ray In appearance the tramp looked an If ho meant to execute the threat. "Stand aside , you villain ! " said Miss Kate In a fine , fourth act tragedy voice. "Stand at-Ido or I'll " No ono will over really find out what she would' h'avo done , for at that moment the hobo shuffled toward her. iMIss Kato gave a mighty push with her wheel square at the tramp , who dodged and slipped. Then with a flying mount she sped away. "HI ! " yelled the tramp. But Miss Knto paid no attention. She was busy breakIng - Ing the record between Florence creek and the nearest policeman.

ALL OVER A GAME OF CRAPS Bad Colored Men Do Some Shooting Because of Interference , CHECK PLACED ON EXPECTED PLEASL'R ! Alltmnl to Shoot nn Officer Follcil lir Km ply Mhrll Pnllcrninn dinned Punitive vrldi n I'nnctnrcd Tlrr. The refusal of a colored man to allow a garao of craps In his back yard was the catiso of two attempts at murder Wednes day evening. The negro to whom the crap playing privilege was denied fired five shots at the proprietor of the premises , ono of the bullets taking effect In the left fore arm , Half an hour later he tried to avoid arrest by ehootlng the policeman who took him Into custody , falling because the cham ber * of his revolver was empty when ho snapped the trigger. The pursuit of the would-be murderer furnished excitement for several hundred people who live on tbe streets In the lower part of town. The policeman , mounted on n wheel , pedaled over the granite pavements with ono tire punctured , overhauling the negro rapidly. At the end of the race the colored man finding himself nt bay , turned and leveling bis revolver at the officer , pulled the trigger. The hammer fell on nn empty shell , ns.even . - cartridge had been discharged. Arrest followed. How It Hniuicnpil. Nine colored men were lounging In the yard behind Thad Lockley's dwelling at the rear of 914 North Sixteenth street. One of the group , John Walker , proposed , n "toss of the bone's. " While the prelimin aries were being arranged Lockley appeared I In the doorway announcing that no crap games would be tolerated. "It you ccons want to play craps you've got to select another spot , " was 'his ' declaration. Walker resented the Interference , assert ing that he would shoot craps when nnd wherever he pleased. In the midst of n war of words Walker suddenly drew a pistol and took a shot at Lockley , hitting him In the arm. The crowd scattered to escape the bullets. Lockley crossed the yard on the run and fled up the alley , Wnlker sending a peppering fire after him until the revolver was emptied , but none other of the shots hit the mark. Walker then took to flight. Ollleern Culled In. When word of the shooting scrape reached the police station Officers Rleglcman , Dwyar and Thomas , on wheels , were detailed to arrest the participants. Uleglcman and Dwyar went to the scene by way of Dodge and Sixteenth streets. Thomas turned off Dodge street on Fourteenth and at the corner of Webster , happening to glance back , he saw a crowd running down Cass. Suspecting they were following the man who did the shooting he gave chase. At the corner ot Cass and Thirteenth a small boy pointed out Walker , who was bended for the burnt district , having a lead of two blocks. On Thirteenth street the officer punctured a tire on tbe rough stones of the pavement , but did not slacken speed. It was at the entrance of the- alley behind the Midway saloon , Twelfth and Capitol av enue , that Walker was overtaken. Evl- I dently forgetting that his revolver was | empty , he thrust It Into the officer's face. Finding It useless ho dropped the weapon and dashed Into the saloon back yard. From there no means of escape was presented and when Officer Thomas entered with drawn revolver Walker cried , "Don't shoot ! Don't shoot ! I'll give up ; you got mo jdcad to rights ! " Walker was handcuffed and taken to Jail. Officers Riegleman and Dwyar found Lock- ley In Dr. W. A. Hosteller's office , 1104 Norlh Sixteenth street , where he ran for treatment Immediately after being shot. He was taken to the station and held as state's witness. AVonnileil In the Arm. The wound was In the left forearm , the | bullet , 38-callbcr , having passed through a muscular part. The shooting occurred j I shortly after 6 o'clock. Walker Is a porter ' at the Annex saloon , Sixteenth and Daven- i port streets. Lockley is a truckman for j Swift nnd Company , South Omaha. Ono witness was found who admitted hav ing been present when the trouble occurred , A. C. Patterson. He stated to the police that Walker fired the shots point blank at j i Lockley , missing him because of poor marks manship. H. Berllnsky , employed by Aaron Wolf , 1211 Douglas street , saw Walker at tempt to shoot Officer Noah Thomas. Ho will appear as a witness. INFUSE NEW BLOOD ( Continued from First Page. ) the floor and In a ringing speech , which was frequently applauded , said : "This matter Is BO radically wrong that I cannot get it out of my mind. It was never Intended that two men should vote away the fundo of the ex position In such a reckless manner as this. If they can do this there is nothing to prevent them from drawing out every dollar on some pretended or trumped-up claim. The facts are that the exposition has been dissatisfied with the services rendered by Mr. Kitchen and , knowing this , ho meets and suddenly diverts the funds of the asso ciation , " Mr. Pritchctt Interjected a remark by stating that It Is the general law of cor porations that no officer shall receive a sal ary unless specifically provided for by the by-laws and In this case tbo provision Is wanting. Mr. Mercer continued by adding : "If Mr. Kitchen Is worth $300 per month ho Is al together too expend" ? luxury for the exposition and I now move that ho bo re quired to hand In his resignation. " "I shall do nothing of the kind , " said Mr. Kitchen , "I have been devoting nil of my time to this exposition , when I could have made more money running a cheap restau rant. I 'worked up a great show and am entitled - titled to my money , but now that I tiave learned that I acted Illegally , I will with draw my claim , still maintaining that the Philippine Village company pays Ita man ager more money each month than I am asking. " Kltclirn lln ( n Oo. T. P. Cartrlght retorted by saying : "If the Philippine Village company did offer that salary I would not reach Into Us treasury and take It out without earning It. " Here Mr , Mercer , to bring matters to an issue , demanded a vote upon his motion , re questing the resignation of Mr , Kitchen and declaring tbe position held by him vacant. R , L. Metcalf denominated the action as a cowardfy attempt to Insult "an honorable gentleman , " and Mr. Smyth spoke of tbe harmony that had usually existed In the ex ecutive committee. The vote was finally reached and when counted It stood 16 In favor of Mr. Kitchen resigning and 8 against. There being a vacancy In the executive committee , nominations were declared In or der. Tbe name of George W , Clabaugb was presented by J , H , Dumont , and he wat elected' by acclamation. At this juncture Mr , Smyth felt called upon to apeak and , giving vent to bis feelings , said : "It has become apparent < o me that Rosewater Is In control or this exposition and that the majority of tbe members of the directory are his pupped , therefore I tender my resignation as a member of the executive commit ! * * . " "I do the iame thine , " added Mr. Hayden , and grabbing their hats both gentlemen strode from the room. Mr. Mercer moved that the executive com mittee ns constituted meet At once and re organize , but as there wan not n quorum present the meeting wag postponed until 10 o'clock this morning , when the members will get together In the Administration Arch on the exposition grounds. Kliiniiclnn the lOxtninllton. On motion of iMr. Dumont the executive committee was authorized nnd Instructed to negotiate a loan of $25,000 to finance the ex position over Its crltlcar period , furnishing the pledge of the association And all ot the gate receipts In excess of an amount suf ficient to pay running expenses. In the records ot the meeting of the ex ecutive , committee held just prior to the con vening of the directory It was discovered that n bill of the World-Herald for J850 for advertising had been presented , audited and allowed and all within fifteen minutes. It waa passed , however , by the directory , but may be taken up and considered at some subsequent meeting. In the disposition of routine business the removal of Miss Buttcrflcld from the posi tion of hostess at the Building ot Pubfic Comfort was taken up , but the Investigation of the. facts was turned over to the new ex ecutive committee. In reference to this matter , It will be remembered that Miss nutterflcld was removed nnd her place- was filled by a relative of Mr. Mctcalfe , a Mrs. Hcaton. When the matter came up yesterday Mr. Kllpatrlck explained that the removal was at the Instance of Con V. Gallagher , super intendent of buildings and grounds , but that there Is no record with J. J. Points , secre tary of the executive committee , ns pre viously constituted. The resolution that the scats now unused nnd stored In ( lie rear of the band stand be ordered placed about tbe Plaza that people may occupy them whlfo listening to the mu sic evenings and without cost , was referred to the executive committee. The time for Inviting th committee of twenty-five to visit the grounds and build ings , Inspect them and publish a report rel- ntlvo to exhibits was extended until next Wednesday.

The large number of residents In the north part of the city who joined together In a mass meeting last night at Sherman avenue nnd Locust street for the purpose of denouncing tbe mnnagemcut of the Greater America Exposition as It hns been conducted up to yesterday will bo more than pleased to read In the morning papers to day that the object for which their meeting was called was accomplished before their support was added to the cause. C. O. Lobeck , member of tbe city council , presided over the meeting and It was a most enthusiastic one , A number ot speeches were made by residents of the north nldo and the unanimous verdict was that a change In the management of the exposition was necessary In order to insure its success - nnd save the city from the stigma of fail ure. A rousing set of resolutions was adopted , recommending1 a revision and strengthening ot the Board of Directors , nnd demanding that the cxpOHltlon be en tirely divorced from all "political , partisan and personal Influence. " There was a lively tilt and discussion as to the Insertion of the words "jlolltlcal and partisan" In the reso lution , but an amendment eliminating these words was voted down by an almost unani mous consent , only thrco opposing It. lA committee , composed of C. O. Lobeek , Joseph Redmond , E. Benedict , C. Farrell , L. H. Kent and M. F. Sears , was appointed to call another mooting of the north side citizens at their discretion , which will proba bly bo done this w&'iCi In order to endorse the actions of the dlec'tors of the exposi tion token at yesterday afternoon's meet ing.

In the "top" room on the third floor of the American Hand Sewed Shoe company , a box of waste caught flre. The box was beneath a table loaded with boots. A guest ot the Mercer hotel saw the flames through a window and telephoned an alarm. The firemen put out the blaze before It damaged tbe goods piled about the room. The floor was burned through. The origin of the flre could not be learned. Iloxiilinl Cirouniln Selected. Members of the advisory board spent Wednesday afternoon Inspecting proposed sites for the emergency hospital and came to a conclusion which they are reluctant to announce. The hospital will , however , be permanently located within a short time , and , it Is believed , In n quarter of the city or Its environs from which no serious pro test will come. From the meager com ments made by the members of the board It would seem that no location entirely ac ceptable In air respects presents Itself. Slinnnoii In He loaned.

IIOMAXCU OK A WIDOW. A I'lccp of Colored < ! ln * In a St. I.onln Club nnil UN ritthrtlc Story. The other evening ono or the members of the very exclusive Klnloch club of this city , relates the St. Louis iJlobo-Dcmocrat , pointed up to the beautiful colored glass window Immediately over the fireplace and asked the group If they knew the story of the window. It was the evening on which the reception was given to Captain Coghlan of the Raleigh , and there wcro many Invited guests , In addition to the members of the club. They an gathered about the fireplace and gazed up at the stained glass. Those who had glanced carelessly at the window before loo'ked at It carefully , and commented on It ns a genuine work of art. It Is not an ordinary window , with Its parts Joined by frames of lead , but Is of the finest kind of colored cathedral glass , eo perfectly Joined that the seams are not visible. It Is paneled In shape , and In the colored glass appears the face and form of a beautiful woman , She Is in the costume of a dancer , and her skirts fall but rlttle below the knees. The figure Is perfect In Its proportions , and tbo face Is one of sur prising beauty. A close Inspection tells of the worth of the window , and convinces one that tbo production Is a real work of art , of rare value , and not the chance Idea of a window designer. The story of the window , which Is known to but few outside the circle of the club It self , was told as follows by the clubman : "You see , when It came to the decora tion of the clubhouse , on Its completion , we wanted something out of tbo ordinary and we appointed a committee to go to Chicago and select a number of articles which we thought could bo selected to good : ad vantage there. Wo got the notion of secur ing some good cofored glass In the way of fancy windows and the like , and the three of us dropped Into a State street store for the purpose of picking out something of the kind. We looked at lot of pictures and designs , and beard the dealer expatiate on the merits of different kinds of colored glass until we had a hopeless and confused Idea of the whole transaction and felt that the buying of colored glass windows was something that ought never be attempted by anyone but an expert. Finally , when we had all reached the point where we were about to admit our helplessness , one of our number spoke up , and , with ai much dignity as ho could muster , declared that the photograph and pfan business was all right , so far as It went , but what we wanted was LADIES CAN WEAR SHOES One elze smaller after using' Allen's Foot- Ease , a powder to b ) uhuken Into thftehoea.

"The dealer looked surprised , hesitated And finally said ho had something that might please us In a decorative colored glass panel window. He went to the hack of the shop and had carefully lifted from Us box n beautiful colored window panel. U was In the richest ot colors nnd depleted n danc ing girl In short skirts. The dealer said that the Klnss had been prepared abroad and was loft on his hands under most pe culiar circumstances. A rich Chlcngonn had , Immediately after marrying , decided that AA n part of the decoration of bis now homo he would have n window In which the face and form of his wlfo "would appear , lit got together the necessary photographs In np- proprlate costumes nnd brought them to the glass window concern , where estimates wcro made ns to the probable cost. Ho wanted naught but the best and wns not content to have the picture painted or burned Into j the glass. He wanted the work done In the actual colored class. "The dealer was obliged to send the photographs - graphs and an extended explanation of what was wanted abroad nnd there tbo window was made. It took months for Its comple tion and when It wns finished nml returned j the dealer notified his rich patron. Hut the j window never found n place In thp rich man's house. They had been married long enough to become estranged nnd divorced. The rich man had completed tbo house ho had built for his bride and wns living alone In It. Therewcro enough sad memories about the house without having the face of the woman from whom ho hnd separated ; looking down on him from one of the great windows BO the window was never ac cepted.

It was the evening of the Fourth , ns the glorious sun was sinking to Its gorgeous ] couch of red nnd white clouds nnd blue sky , nnd the small boy , packed In cotton , lint and n splint or two , wns lying with his face to the west , while his fntbor nat by his side fanning him. Ho wns doing ns well ns could bo expected , relates the Washing ton Stnr , nnd Avns already nblo to talk. "Papa , " ho said In a dreamy , Innguoroua tone , "did they have a Fourth of July when you was n llttlo boy ? " "Oh , yes , my son , " answered the father. "Just the same kind they have now ? " "Just the same. " "And did you celebrate when you was a little boy ? " "Yes , but I was more careful than you were , and didn't get hurt so. " "I guess you didn't have much ftm , did you ? " he asked , trying to turn toward his father. "I thought I did , but perhaps I was mis taken , " ho replied. At this point the doctor came In and made It unpleasant for the boy for some minutes. Then ho went away and the boy BnlfTlcd nwhllo nnd resumed conversation -with his fnthcr. "Is the Fourth going to keep on every year ? " he nskcd. "There's nothing on earth can stop It , I guess , " replied the fnlhcr with patriotic pride. "That's good , nln't It ? " " \Vo nil think so In this country. " "And how long alnco It started ? " persisted the boy , who should have been trying to go to sleep. "Ever slnco 1776 : about a hundred nnd twenty-three years. " "Gee , pop ! " bo exclaimed , "how much I'vo missed ! " and then the father Insisted that ho must etop talking and try to got some much-needed rest. 11EAI/TV MAIUCKT.
