SCI2M5S ALONG TUB MIDWAY. Vita nil-liorn Rdltori. Tnkr It In nnd Arc Iloynlly Treated. Yesterday quite a number of Klkhorn edi tors took advantage of the excursion that came In over that road and after taking In I the main bull-lings In the afternoon nnd ' the band concert In the evening , they hooded for tbo Midway , and to any they had a good tlmo Is putting It mildly , for everywhere they were given special performances - | formances , the darkles at the Old Planta- ! lion put their best foot forward nnd gave them such an exhibition of campmeetlng shouting , buck and wing dancing and cake walking as they had never before Been , j The next stop wan at the water carnival , when , they beheld the first performance of DcAmy lu Emllo Bayard's masterpiece , billons of acrobatic and high diving ever witnessed , as Mr. Gay la a champion in bin lino. In the high dlvo of nlnety-flve feet nnd turning ono and two somersaults ns ha * ' docs , It is a most startling performance. Ho will ba hera and may bo neon at every _ performance during the ri-st of the tcason. ,1- , The cyclorama. with Its -100 feet of canvns nnd Its wenJth of detail , came In for a good share of their approval and In some cases It required their cloeest scrutiny to nnd the dividing line between the artificial and the real , so closely and accuralely have Ihe painter. ) accomplished their work. At tlio Artists' Studio they witnessed the V only risque performance on the Midway. The parting of the Mlesea Wallara and J Mr , Mot Gay in one of Iho grisliest oxhl- "An Affair of Honor , " U ono of Ihe most eeiift-itloiml "turna" ever seen in the west. It Is the same Identical performance that created _ mch a furore when produced at Koster & Blal's lost ncaaon and is a per fect representation of that famous painting. At the Philippine Village they Interviewed tha late Colonel Btotsonburg's coachman and wore greatly surprised to flnd him so Irvtorostlng a por-ionago ; in fact the whole company made qutto an Impression , _ _ s the American people ns a rule had been taught to look upon these people OB a. semi-bar barous raco. After feeding the monkeys , talking to the baby nnd otherwlso enjoying themselves , they gave the children of the party a ride on the merry-go-round , and It was a notlco- able fact that "there were others" who rode and eocmed to enjoy the cool breeze nnd the excitement of catching the brass ring to ride the next time free. ROOD I'llOCItAMS IIY Il Studio thf Chief Attraction lit Hxponl- tlon ( iriinnilx AVcilnrmlnv , The hot tvmda blew a ocorchlng blast across the exposition grounds Wednesday nnd lu consequence the attendance waa very light. In the afternoon the grounds were nearly deserted , but the cool of the evening brought out more people. The muslo was the chief attraction and two excellent pro grams were given by the Bellatedt baud. Adelmnnn'a band also furnished some very good muslo In the morning and In the after noon. The music by Bellatedt In the after noon was of a high grade. Several numbers were of especial excellence , among them being the "Danao Macabre" by Salnt-Sacns nnd the "Rondo Caprlcclow" by Mendels sohn , The number In which Mons Chcvre had the piccolo obligate was of nuch beauty that ho was forced to rrepond. The piece Is entitled "The Swallow" and Is a most beau tiful production , The evening program was of a high class of music , one of the very bent that Mr. Rellstt'dt has put on lnce his iirrlval , The "March Herolque" by Salnt- Snons opened the program. This Is a very dinicult selection and has many musical peculiarities. Liszt's "Rhapsodle Hongratse" was also one of the good numbers , and the "Benediction of the Poniards" from "Les Huguenots" by Myerbeer was a notable treat to music lovers , S/nili' > ) MV I.Hiirilxiinnliitril. .

MACKAY Victor Hoiipwnter Invite * Hint to Make Forninl ChnrKCN and Conrtn Invca- Ity Library Board. The following letter was delivered for publication to the editor of the World- Hprald before noon yesterday : OMAHA , Sept. 6. To the Editor of the World-Herald : I do not want to got Into a per oual controversy in print with Mr. Mackoy or any ono else , but I ask a few vords in reply to the letter you publish over his name. That the records of the library board show him voting for mo for vice president on the night before his resignation is not very ma terial. Ho says he eat silent the question Is simply , Why did ho not have the courage to protest against my re-election or at least to record himself against me ? The course ho pursued , however , convicts him of Insincerity and lack of the highest attributes of a Christian minister. Instead of telling the truth concerning the cause of his resignation from the library board , he blazons to the world as the reasons for his action , without Inquiring into tcu facts , two different stories , each affecting the reputation of a young woman and each without founda tion. The ono story was so palpably false that after ho had gossiped it about to a few friends ho found he bad mode a bad mistake and called It In. As to the other story fathered by this gossip-mousing preacher , even as he tells it , In what light does that leave him ? If he wanted redress for n wronged woman , why did ho not come to me or to my father and make demand for some kind of a reparation that might bnve helped her ? Why is It that neither Mr. Mackay nor any one else pre tending to speak for the young woman has ever called on mo to make any demand whatever in her behalf ? No , Instead he carries his gossip to the World-Herald , the known Implacable enemy of every one by the name of Itosewater. and gives out for broadcast publication what he says was con fided to him as a minister of the gc pel with the sacredneas of the confessional. Mr. Mackay prates about being touched with sympathy by what ho says be heard from the lips of A young woman , but what kind of sympathy Is It that stabs her under cover by giving world-wids publicity to her dis grace ? It will not do for you to say that this at tack has no political animus. You admit holding It back for weeks until the eve of thu republican primaries , while the black sheep seeking nominations have been advis ing their friends to watch out for a broad side on the Rosewatcrs they bad been pre paring to spring In the World-Herald. The attack is too plainly a part of the sumo play as my recent arrest for criminal libel to di vert attention from the records that provn the untrustworthlnoss of men you are trying to help foist upon the republican ticket. You demand editorially that I be removed from the library board. I accept the chal lenge. I invite investigation by the library board. Let the two stories told by Mr. Mnckny to President Lewis S. Reed ns the reasons for litn resignation be reiterated by Mr , Mackay before the board. My resignation will abldn the decision of any unprejudiced body 03 to the establishment of their truth. In conclusion , I give notice that I shall have nothing further to say in print con cerning Mr. Mackay and his storlrs. Re spectfully , VICTOR ROSEWATER. T 1 It oil "The AvrruKC Mnn. " "Tho Average Man" waa the title of a lecture delivered last night by Robert Leo Harper , supreme lecturer of the United Moderns , lu the Continental block. There was a large attendance at the ledge room of members and their frlcudi. The lecture was entertaining , bright , laughable , eerloua mid eloquent by turns. It was an Inspiring discourse In that it sought to establish tbo thought that , while tlio ordinary or average man cannot hope to attain tbo ideal of llfo at all times , aud In full , yet ho need oot bo rich or great In order to bo happy and suc cessful. He need only bo true to tbo best thnt U In htm , live simply , think highly and absorb batlsfactlon from the myriad "cheap enjoyments" ttiat surround all men In this enlightened day.

MANY RESUME WORK TODAY Two Hundred and Fifty Carpsnters to Take Up Their Tools Attain. PARTIAL SETTLEMENT OF THE STRIKE Throc-Corncrcd IM lit In Which Srv- rrnl Varied Intercut * Cln.il. UP- tnllvil Account of the Differ ence * In the Cac. Another effort will bo made today hy the carpenters to Induce the contractors to j-.ny , i the additional 6 cents per hour asked for by * lie union. A committee from the car penters will wait upon the contractors nnd present to thorn ou agreement , asking them to slKti It. which roads to the efTix-l that the undersigned acree to pny to the cnr- pouters employed by them from date , until May 1. 1900. the sum of 35 cents IXJT hour. The committee which will circulate the ACrccmcnt will call upon the contractors who nro members of the Hullders' and Traders' exchange , these belonging to < ho 13.ill.ler. . ' association , and those contractors who do not amllata with either organiza tion. tion.As As near as can bo learned all the bu'ld- era belonging to the exchange will sign the document , as will the majority , If not nil thoflo who do next bolonc to either of the above named associations. The memliprn of the Builders' association arc stilt linn In their determination not to pay the advance asked tor until after the completion of the contracts now on hand. It Is estimated that 230 carnenterH will return to work this morning at xho nd- vanced scale of wnces. They will resume , work upon buildings being erected by the contractors who nro members of the exchange - change and those who do not belong to any organization. The executive council of the carpenters union will meet cither this afternoon or tbls evenlnc In Iabor temple , and take some action upon the present difficulty. The niem- bcra of the two contractors' associations licld nrtHlngs yesterday afternoon and last ovcn- Ing , and as both sessions were executive , no details were given out. It was stated that the situation was dlscuased In a general way. but no decisive steps were taken ono way or the other. A rumor was current last evenlnp ; that Lwo of the contractors belonclnc to the Hulldera' association had each lost a Job owing to the owners becoming dissatisfied with the delay , nnd turned them over to contractors who agreed to place men vpon the work In question today. It was Impos sible to verify the rumors. Three-Cornered Affair. The moat Interesting feature of the day's developments Is that the present strike has developed Into a three-cornered affair , with the carpenters as one angle , the Build ers and Traders exchange as the second and the Contractors' Mutual Benefit association as the other. The two associations do not recognize each other , each claiming they are the nseodatlon of contractors , while the carpenters are divided upon the proposi tion , those who are employed by .he ex change contractors sticking up for that organization , while those working for the association contractors are siding with them. The association sprung Into existence since the carpenters made their demands for a B-cent per hour Increase , while the exchange has been in existence for about thirteen yearn. The members of the as sociation claim that their books will show at least thirty contractors as members of the oncanlratlon. On the other hand , the exchange people say that the association la of mushroom growth and will dlo as soon as the present controversy Is over ; that It was organized for the solo purpose of at tempting to defeat the carpenters' de mands for better wages. B. J. Jobst la president of the association , E. 0. Hamil ton secretary and Henry Hamann treas urer. The members of this association met In secret session late Tuesday night and passed resolutions to the effect that Its con tractors would not pay the G cents per hour until after the present contracts have been completed. But at the same time , these contractors say they are willing to compromise. Just what kind of a compro mise wouM be accepted Is not stated , but the Inference Is drawn that a proposition coming from the carpenters to the effect that they would accept an increase of 2 % cents per hour until January 1 , and the ad ditional 2 % cents after that date would not be rejected by the association contractors , but would be accorded due and deliberate consideration. John Hart , the moving spirit of the ex change , estimates that about 100 or 125 carpenters are now at work , being employed by contractors who are members of the ex change , and are receiving 35 cents per hour. C. W. Partridge of the association does not believe there are twenty-flvo car penters at work receiving 35 cents per hour. How It All Came Abnnt. Another interesting feature Is that the contractors say the large stores In the city are to ( blame for the present trouble , being brought about by the 0 o'clock closing movement on Saturday evenings. After the etores adopted that rule , they commenced to complain that the laboring men went to South Omaha and Council Bluffs to do their Saturday night marketing because they could not get down town in time to do their trading hero after working up to 5 o'clock. The matter came under the observation of Sidney J Kent , labor commissioner of Lin coln. He came to Omaha to investigate the matter and find a solution. He met with tba carpenters , and advis d them to take a half holiday on Saturdays , as is the custom In England and other European countries. The men objected to that , claiming they could not afford to lose a half day's pay each week. It was then that Mr. Kent proposed the advance of 5 cents per hour In their wages , to off-Eet the half holiday. The men acted upon his suggestion , and those who are now receiving that extra amount are getting a bait day off each week and $1.20 more besides. LEAVES PURSEJN COUNTER Traveler Hi-cover * Money tlmt lie I-'oi-Kot While In n Hurry to CntuU Trulii. H. F. Clark of Washington , D , C. . who wee passing through Uie city early in the < week en route to his homo from the wrat , I went Into the lunch room of the Burlington station during the atop of his train hero and ordered tircakfaet. He was just finishing ' his coffee and bad token his purse from his ' pocket to cettle Uie bill when tbe passenger director shouted that his train was leaving , Mr. CUrk hastily made his way to the train and In the hurry and confusion left bis pocketbook lying upon the counter. When It was discovered by the young woman in charge it was reported to Station Superin tendent Hobinson , who , in turn , reported tbe matter to headquarters , aud delivered the pocketbook , which was found to contain JS3. There was no means of identification other than certain slips of paper whlcb Indicated that the residence of the owner was In Washington. Officials of tbe road made Inquiry as to the paeaengeru who were on the train that day en route to Washington , and they dis covered that Mr. Clark was the only oae. After much telegraphing he was located , and the assurance was given the oftlclaU that be bad lost bis puree , containing an amount of money Identical to that which had been found.

CHILD SHIELDS HER FATHER CnurnKCon * Girl Ilecelvcd Dnnmironii Cut Wnrillnic Off XclRlibor'n AttnuU. Hj- shielding her Invalid father from the attack of a drunken neighbor Tuesday even ing 9-ycnr-oM Klttlo Hardy , living at 1002 Dorcas street , was utruck lu the head with a beer glass anil now lies at her home In a precarious condition , suffering from th effects of the wound. Dr. J. T. Stout , the attending phjslclan , told the police the girl may not recover , as Inflammation of the brain Is likely to set In. The man who threw the beer glass Is John Nelson , a laborer , living at 1912 Dor cas street. Ho was arrested by Officer Dan Baldwin. Klttlo Hardy's father had been 111 for a number of we el. ? , nnd about 5 o'clock Tuesday evening was sunning him- elf In the back yard , sitting on a weir curb. curb.Nelson Nelson , his next door neighbor , had been drinking In the house. When ho caught sight of Itanly ho went out to the yard with a pall of beer In ono hand and a glass In the other and Invited the convalescent to Join him In a little liquid refreshment , Hardy says no knew Nelson was a bad man when under the Influence of liquor , and aa ho wna not well enough to drink ho told hla neighbor ho didn't care to accept the Invitation. Ho then onked hlim to lenve the promises nnd drink In hH own yard. Nelson took offense at the refusal to enjoy his hospitality and called Hardy vile names. Other residents of the neighborhood were at tracted by the loud talk , and Just as a crowd was gathering Nelson made a rush for Hardy , clenching the beer glass In an uplifted hand to strike him. Kittle Hardy saw her fath er's danger and knowing him to be too weak to defend himself , ran In front of the Infu riated Nelson. The action angered the man and diverted his attack to the daughter. The girl stood equarcly In front of her father. Nelson raised the glass and hurled It with all his might at Klttle's head. It struck Just above the left eye , making a deep cut two Inches long , laying bare the skull. The girl fell to the ground stunned and Nelson ran Into the house. Neighbors carried Klttlo to her home and the doctor was called to drcos the Injury. Officer Dan Baldwin arrested Nelson a few- hours later and secured the statements of several witnesses who had seen the assault. The phyolclan says he cannot tell for thirty , six hours whether or not the girl will live. Cniiirn to South Oinnlin. ALBUQUERQUE , N. M. . Sept. 6.

Among those who hud rroclal Invitations to bo present were the Btato officers of the Whlto Cross society and ibo members of the local auxiliary. Daughter , of tbo American Revolution , Uiu Sanitary Aid , ladles' auxiliary to the Thur- ston Rifles and the Crook , Custer nnd U. S. ( Irani Relief corps. In TOoaklnc of the Whlto Cross pocloty , Mrs. Crclchton said It Is an auxiliary to the United States army the some ns the lied Cross society is an auxiliary to tlio arralpfl of Europe. While one Is nn Inter national orcanlznllon , the other Is a na tional one. The Idea of the society was born In her mind by 'the ' cmorKcnoy calls for hof.pltal corps , supplier and nurses grow- Inr out of the late war with Spain. After formulating the plan In Oregon , where she wna when the war broke out , she went to San Francisco , whore troops wore embark ing for the Philippine Islands. It was there she saw more clearly the needs for nurse * , and supplies , and through her ncrglcs , and the Influences of the society , one nurse nnd a surgeon wore sent to the front to every 100 men. The government hnfl taken recognition of the eoclety , and whenever possible the nuraes fitted for field and hospital work bv the society are sent to the front. At the present time there are twenty nurses nt the Presidio In San Francisco , ten nt Honolulu lulu nnd seven In the Philippines. As fast as the nurses become acclimated they are moved by decrees nearer the front , and by the time they reach the semi-tropical cli mates of Cuba , Honolulu and Manila , they are Immunes. In tlmea of i > caco the object of the so ciety is to administer to tbo wants of the soldiers , whether tbev are In barracks In this country or In camp In the now pos sessions , furnishing them the common neces saries of life which are not Included In the army reeulntlons. The society also strives to furnish the soldiers with suitable under clothing , which cannot always be procured by them where they are stationed , and to supply those who are not capable of Judging for themselves the proper kind of under- wearing apparel. When war Is not belnc waged the nurses belonging1 to the society will look after the sick boys in the hospitals , cater to their wants nnd do what onlv n woman c-in to allevlaito pain and suffering by careful and tender nursing under any and all con ditions. Although the society Is but fourteen months old , it has grown wonderfully , there being- state organizations in Oregon , Ne braska and Indiana , and auxiliary organ izations In Minnesota , Orecon , District of Columbia , Wyoming , Honolulu and Manila. MISSION WORK IN TURKEY nntprtnliilnsr Tnllc l r n AVomnn "Who IM I nKi > K.rd In ToncIilnRr the Sultan' * Subject * . Mrs. L. O. Loc of Marash , Turkey , spoke at St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church Wednesday night of the mission work In which she is engaged in Asia Minor. Her audience was much Interested In the dc- ) tails which she gave of the missionary work and especially In her statements regarding the educational advancement of the natives in Turkey. Mrs. Leo dwelt principally upon the edu cational Institutions which are being estab lished in Turkey. Marash , where she and her husband have been located for many years , is something of an educational cen ter. There are kindergartens , graded schools , a school especially for girls , a boys' academy , the Central Turkey Girls' college and a flourishing theological sem inary. Linst year there were 1,530 students In the various Institutions. The greater part of the work Is carried on by the na tives and they have shown a remarkable aptitude both as students and teachers. "Tho position of women in Marash nnd all through Turkey is a very low one , " said Mrs. Leo. "They are oxtxremely Ignorant and the people generally look down upon woman as an Inferior creature. The mother even propagates this idea among her chil- drnn and the sons of every family are courted and humored while the daughters are looked upon with disdain and occupy a most unpleasant position. As a result the women have no confidence and no self-re spect. They hold their heads down and take but little Interest in affairs going on about them. It has been ono of the principal alms of the missionaries to counteract tha ! Idea and to infueo self-respect nnd confidence into women. A marvelous work In ttils di rection has been accomplished by the schools for women. " Mrs. Lee apoke of the great responsibility which fell to the lot of tbo missionaries after the horrible Armenian massacres In 1800. Relief work hod to be Instituted with the money which came In HO generously from America nnd Hurope. Between 20,000 and 30,000 people were dependent upon Mrs. Leo and her corps of helpers for relief. One of the chief things accomplished was the establishment of orphanages In which 250 children , left homeless by the massacre rf their parents , were cared for. Those chll- dron have made wonderful advancement along educational and industrial lines. Mrs. Lee stated that the prevalent custom of marrying off the girls at the tender age of 16 was rapidly being overcome by the Influence of the missionaries and the teach ers and pupils in the schools nnd the neces sity of educating the young women Is being appreciated more and more each year.
