'bi'to ' their benefit to have one day to them
selves during the year , when they could the
better discuss matters particularly relating
to High schools. They felt that the High
school Interests demanded a closer discus

There are good prospects that the
plumbers' strike will bo called settled In
n few days at the ? latest. The bosses ob
jected chiefly to the Omaha union dictating
an to the manner In which they should conduct -
duct their business. H now looks as It th < -
wholc question will be turned over to the
Trades and Labor assembly of this city to
settle and If that Is done It Is believed there
will be no dlfllculty In arriving at n settle
ment that will be entirely ratlsfactory to
both nlcle
Some of the union plumbers who went
out have secured work In Omaha , but the
others arc still Idle Three of the non
union plumbers who were prevailed upon by
the strikers to quit work have decided that
It paid better to be at work and have so
notified their bosses One of these men
worked for Stcphan Bros. , while the other
two were employed by the New York PlumbIng -
Ing company.
The boEwcs have taken a firm stand and
will refuse under any circumstances to sign
the agreement submitted by J. E. Mullano
of the Omaha union and they say further
that they will not treat with representa
tives of the union across the river. They
say , however , that they are perfectly willIng -
Ing and ready to discuss the questions at
Issue with the Council Bluffs workmen
Manager Hart of the New York Plumbing
company said "If. as I see It Is reported ,
the striking plumbers have decided to leave
the dispute to bo settled by the Trades and
Labor awombly ot this city to arbitrate I
see no reason why a settlement satisfactory
to both aides cannot be arrived nt. We arc
and have been all the time perfectly will

to the workmen of this city , but we certainly
will never permit the Omaha union to dic
tate to us how we should run our business. "

In connection with the celebration of the
Goethe anniversary which have Just token
place In most ot the large cities of Gel many ,
nn Incident IB recorded by the Jewish Chron
icle of an act of kindly heroism on the part
of Goethe toward the Jews of Frankfort His
connection with the Jewish quarter of his
native city la too well known to any ac
quainted with the details of his life to need
any relation here , readers of Lewcs's "Life
of Goethe" may find there the significant
fact that the voting poet spent eo much time
In the Judengassc that he acquired so full
a knowledge of "Yiddish" as to venture on
writing a short play In the dialect It Is ,
therefore , clear that he must bavo numbered
many friends In that part of the city , and
It would afford matter of no Inconsiderable
Interest to trace come ot these friendships.
During the early jonrs of the eighteenth
century Frankfort was the victim of several
serious outbreaks of fire , In the course of
which hundreds of houses were destrojeJ
anil many families left destitute. In con
sequence of the great misfortunes the city
experienced a terrible scare whenever smoke
was seen or smelt , and a custom nroso to
announce even the smallest outbreak by
blowing of horns , ringing of bells , beating
of drums , clattering of firecars , and all that
una available to attract attention In the dead
of night , quite out of proportion to the dan
ger. The youthful Goethe received early Im
pressions of these records , which sank deep
Into his poetic and Imaginative brain. But
that he was practical as well ns imaginative
the following Incident bears tcstlmoii ) .
On May 30 , 1774 a Sundaj at 2 o'clock
of the night , a fire broke out In the Ju
dengasso by which twenty houses were de
stroyed. H was the rule to leave the work
of extinction and assistance to the "com
mon people , " but Goethe knew no rank or
creed when human life was in danger. Not
withstanding , or surely forgetting for the
time , that he was the son ot a Knlscrlicbcr
Rath and himself a doctor at law , though
he wore fine clothes and silk stockings , ho
rushed into the throng and Joined the army
of helpers. His superior bearing and posi
tion did good work. He eoon managed to
bring order Into the band of extinguishers ,
who up to this tlmo had been running In
each other's way by bringing the full buck
ets and returning with the empty ones
through the same hole , which bad been
made In a high wall f > eparatlng the Jtiden-
gasse from the AllerheillgengaEse. Goethe
showed them a better and quicker way
through a narrow lane. At once the poor
Jews rushed with their few rescued posses
sions along this same lane and were greeted
by the heartless mob with shouts of dorlslon ,
and the water which v\as so sorely needed
to extinguish the fire was turned upon them.
A few words from the young Goethe put
an cud to all this demeanor.
Goethe's action during the distress be
came the talk of the town and many of the
poor Jews , who did not even know his name ,
spoke In loud praises of the "young gentle
man protector" who had saved them from
the mob as well as the fire. One ot these ,
who Inhabited the house "Zum Pflug , " found
after the lire a number of silver "Kreuzer , "
which bv reason of the heat had been melted
Into a lump. In memory of this disaster
this "lump , " In which some of the Krouzer
were still distinctly visible , and on which
some of the stamping could be traced , be
came a sort of heirloom In the family. It
was not till many years afterward that a
grandson of this old Inhabitant of the Ju-
dcngasse , who happened to bo a schoolfel
low of Ferdinand Hlller's , learned from the
"Dlchtung und Wahrheit" who was the
"joung gentleman hero" to whom his an
cestor owed a debt of gratitude. The relic
of coins Is in possession of the family at
the present time.

In view of the recent brilliant strategic
mllltnry movements of the Uoer forces un
der the command of General Plot Joubort In
the war with England. It maj bo Interesting
to note some of the peculiar characteristics
of this exclusive nnd retiring race of people
ple , who care for naught but to bo left alone
and to govcin themselves as best they sec
lit
Their marriage customs , together with the
courtship Immediately preceding this Inter
esting event , will proh&oly excite as much
interest as any of their quaint functions.
After the slow thinking nnd often olower
moving burger makes up his mind that ho
loves the girl of his choice ho brings for her
appioval some "lachcrgoot" ( confectionery )
If ho finds favor In her eyes she will accept
the gift which he offers with so much trepi
dation , and then the happy suitor la allowed
to elt in the midst of the coffee-drinking
family for nn hour or more. If the lady re
fuses the love token'the dejected suitor
knows that she Is not for him nnd ho must
heck elsewhere for conquests. Finally , nfter
enduring the agony of the coffee-drlnkiug ,
ho Is left alone with the girl. But the wise
taut , according to custom , puts n Jlmlt on
the length of his visit by sticking a needle
In the wa\ candle , which is a mute state
ment , "So long art thou welcome , and no
longer. " The happy swain flits and stares
at his inamorata until the candle burns to
the mark. Then ho wisely takes his depar
ture. If , however , ho loves not wisely but
too well and ovcrstajs his time limit , never
rmaln does he have the opportunity of seeIng -
Ing his sweetheart alone.
After the courtship has progressed suffi
ciently certain inquiries arc made as to the
ycung man's standing and ability to take
care of a wife , and If these are satisfactory
the wedding ceremonies an * arranged. The
marriage chamber Is prepatol , the bed and
box being decked out lu&whlto with bands
of ribbons 'and artificial flowers. A row of
chairs Is arranged for the guests who are
to assemble , lines ? and take part in the
ceremony.
The mud floor , if such It be , Is rubbed with
bullock's blood until It glistens like polished
mahogany. When the day of the ceremony
approaches' the friends and relatlvee , even
unto the twenty-fifth , degree , flock to the
house , all wearing a properly solemn and
mournful expression and greeting their ac
quaintances in the same manner. The whole
scene appears ludicrous to a stranger nnd
reminds one of the old saying , "This Is a
very solemn occasion , " when all want to
laugh. Greetings being over the bride ,
bridegroom nnd attendants march ponder
ously to the bridal chamber and the party
of assembled visitors gravely seat them
selves. After a tlmo the bridesmaid and
beet man arise and conduct In with cere
mony each Individual guest to wish succcts
to and kiss the brldo and bridegroom. This
trying oscillatory task belnt ? consummated ,
the wedding feast which has been pre
pared a week in advance Is set on the table" ,
and It Is almost sunset before the hugo
tongues , Julcv ribs , tempting quarters of
mutton , succulent spring lambs and tender
younl fowls are devoured. The groaning
table , now a wreck of Its former self. Is
cleared away and the ical fun of the evening
begins. As soon ns everything te removed
from the great front room , which lias been
cleaned and scrubbed with fresh bullocks'
blood , the women of the assembly flock Into
the side rooms to nttlro themselves for the
evening. They reissue clad In white mus
lin , gay and resplendent with bright flaring
ilbbons of all the striking hues from bright
scarlet , flashing orange to deep green and
blue , and over all , bedecked with hugo
brass Jewelry. The dancing begins tin the
first tallow candled are struck up about the
walls , the music coming from a corner of
the room. Bride and bridegroom open the
hall and the floor Is soon covered with
whirling couples.
By 11 o'clock the children who swarm In
the side rooms are not to bo kept quiet
longer , even by huge hunches of bread and
cake. In a shrill treble their small , piercing
childish voices rlao higher and higher , finally
drowning the scraping or tnc nddies , which
arc busily screeching out a happy discord.
Then the mothers leave the merry assembly
for a few mlnutos nnd their whilom part
ners In the dance stand Idly by walling fet
their return. From the sldo rooms pande
monium breaks loose for a moment , then
nil Is still save an occasional whimper.
Small beads have been knocked together by
irate mothers , little nursemaids have had
their ears cuffed for not maintaining better
discipline and the small nailers fcavo been
forced Into unoccupied corners of beds , un
der tables , chairs and behind boxes with a
btrlct Injunction to keep quiet. In half an
hour all kinds , classes and conditions of
childish scores may bo heatd Issuing from
the rooms wheru they lie cuddled In all
conceivable shapes , happily oblivious of all
that has passed In deep slumber. Then It
Is that It Is dangerous to enter the side-
rooms far fear of crushing a small out
stretched hand or chubby foot that lies
eprawllng on the floor.
In the large room where the dancing Is
going on busy fret have broken the solid
coating of the floor and a cloud of fine , Im
palpable dust arises that makes n halo of
yellowish hue around each Individual candle
while the Boers of asthmatic tundenclen are
get wheezing and coughing by the micro
scopic yellowish cloud that has filled the
room. The dancers care naught for this ,
nnd faster nnd faster they fly around the
room until It Is Impossible to ECO figures at
the opposite end of the chamber , BQ thick
has become the duet However , this shortly
ends. At 12 precisely the brldo Is led to the
marrlago chamber nnd undressed by her In
timate friends , the lights arc then blown out
and the happy bridegroom Is escorted by
the best man to bis bridal chamber , the kev

with which the Boers have been surrounded

for the great benefit they have iccelved from
the use of Morrow's Kid-no-olds , the great

from the kidneys. Morrow's Kil-ne-olds ! euro
ivbore other remedies have failed and the
people of this city have not been slow to
find this out. and they add their testimony
that their friends may know what to use
and get cured. /
