Traveling unostentatiously across the con
tinent In the garb of a well-to-do Kngllsh-
niiti , Admiral Charl < > n Fitzgerald of the
llrlilnh navy passed through Omaha Monday
nlcht. There was nothing about his ap
parel , no LadgcB , no uniform nor other In-
nlgnla to Indicate that he was one of the
highest naval officers In the Hcrvlco of her
Majesty , Queen Victoria. Admiral Fitzger
ald was enroutc from China to London ami
uas accompanied by Captain Caldwell , Lieu
tenant. Ilorden-Smlth , his ling lieutenant ,
Secretaries linker nnd Clark-Hodder. I
When the train upon which the admiral
end his party were passengers stopped al |
the union station the Englishmen alighted
'to lho platform. Each eagerly purchased
"copies of The Evening Hco nnd scanna ! the
headlines for lote news from South Africa.
Admiral Fitzgerald was reading the newspaper -
paper as ho walked slowly along the plat-
foim , when accosted by a Bee representative.
The admiral , n tall , aparo , gray-haired
7iinn of perhaps iiO years , took the Initiative ) j
In Interrogation and nuked If any news
later than that contained In the paper ho
held In his hand had been received.
"I'm returning to London from China , "
then fluid the admiral. "For two years I
have been second In command of thu Asiatic
squadron. I have not been recalled because
of the South African war. In the llrltlsh
r.avy an officer Is' assigned to cortaln duties
for a stipulate * ! length of time. At Its ex
piration ho I < < relieved and reports to the
Naval department for further ordura ,
"What do I know of the South African
war nnd what do 1 think of It ? Well , really ,
I huvo been away off In China , where but
111 tie ncnvs was possible regarding military
operations between the Hocre and the Eng-
llnh. I wish that I did know more , but I |
expect any well-informed American could
tell mo lots of nows. There Is only ono
HfltUlon of the war. The English will be
victorious. How isoon ? Ah , Duller hlm-
nolf does not know that. There's no telling.
1 hope It may bo soon. Of course , I am
pleased with the appointment of General
HvborlR to the field of operations. Kvory
Englishman believes that he Is the man of
nil men to have charge of affairs.
"In China but little interest has been
manifested In the South A-frlcan situation.
The natlvcM for the most part do not know
that there IB nny war. 1 do not believe that
I will bo sent to South Africa. Wo have ono
squadron there and a few additional boats.
Tut- war \vould bo nhort-Ilved , I tell you , If
we could got our men-o'-war Into action.
"There Is no fear of any uprising among
the Indian subjects of the queen. The troops
which have been removed will be replaced
hcforn any opportunity Is given such mal
contents as there might be who would be
likely to take advantage of the situation.
" .Vows floated over to us In China of the
reception the American people accorded Ad

with him. .A better naval officer could no-

At Monday evening's mcctlnR of the Peter
Cooper club , when the smelling committee
wa called upon to report as to Its negotia
tions with the democrats and Its effort to
nscertaln upon what terms the latter would
attempt fusion In the city election , and how
much they would be willing to grant the
populists In the way of olDces should fusion
bo successful , A.V. . Tldd , chairman , re
ported that ho had conferred with a number
o' democrats and had found that the Jaclc-
tioniiins wcro ready to fuse , but ho had not
Ken able to obtain any Idea of the recogni
tion they would bo willing to give the popu
lists until after the democratic primaries.
He found that the Douglas county democ
racy wiis not Inclined to fusion. The pot-al-
billty of effecting a fusion , therefore , de
pended upon the result of the coming demo
cratic primaries , In which both sides seemed
to feel confident of victory.
Martin McOuIro of the committee reported
that bo had found no ono who was able to
hay for the democrats Just what they would
bo willing to do , < and ho had concluded that
the bcflt way would bo to wait until the
democratic convention and reacb an agree
ment through n confcrenco committee.

evening'bouls I'lattl nnd Louis Hochmc ,

visited tbo 1'oler Cooper club rooms nnd as
sured the members of the latter that thu
rounty democracy was Just as anxious to

It has been wittily said of the martyrs

The department of ethics and philosophy ,
Hev. Mary ( lernrd Andrews , leader , provided
u rich treat on Monday afternoon for the
Woman's club nnd lt guests In an address
by Hnbbl Simon on " 'The Hubalyat of Amar
Khayyam. " A fitting preface to the topic
was the double vocal numbei1 sung by Miss
Anna HUliop , who also gave a closing num
ber. All three elcctlons were taken from
the song cycle , known as "In a Persian Oar-
den ; " words from the Hubalynt ; music by
Lisa Lehman. Mrs. II. P. Whltmorc played
the accompaniments.
Opening his remarks by stating the para
dox that the farther west one travels the
nearer ho conies to the east , the speaker
proceeded to nhow that the earth Is not only
a physical but spiritual sphere. "Nothing , "
ho said , "can stop the missionary march of
nn idea. Politics , art , literature , work
toward the union of eastern and western
thought. The marriage of the Orient nnd
the Occident Is the triumph of the nine
teenth century.
Dwelling for a movement upon the price-
Icus treasures of oriental poetry so rich In
philosophy. Idealism , meditation , the ni'ibl
characterized Persian poetry as "supreme aa
the poetry of sensation , " representing sub
jectivity , as opposed to objectivity. Data
regarding the author , his environment , hlo
powers were briefly given and the speaker
paused to n discussion of the Hubalyat ,
which he declared to be destitute of n ar-
tUtlc or logical unity or of a consistent
scheme of phllcRophy , saying substantially :
"Tho Persian askR the questions , 'How ,
whence , whither , the questions that have
been asked by all'mankind. He gives the
answer of the pessimist and the ekeptlc. The
world robbed of Oocl , life robbed of moral
responsibility , freedom gone , why should
genius so rob us ? Pessimism and skepticIsm -
Ism hava their work ; they set men to think
ing , but they have not done much for civili
zation. This is an ago of stress and storm.
America has great problems to solve , the
weightiest of her history. She can never
solve them if she give up her Ideals of God ,
of personal responsibility , of immortality.
She needs to follow , not the Persian poet ,
but her own poet of reverence , courage and
hope. Emerson. "
During the business hour It was decided
that the club be > suitably represented In the
general club exhibit that Is to appear In the
Parla Exposition and that $10 be contributed
to the fund of the Paris committee of the
General Federation of Clubs.
A report was read by Mrs. McKelvey of
the city Improvement committee , rehears
ing the labors of that committee to secure
rcccvtaelcs for street rubbish and pointing
with pride to Its success. The committee Is
now encouraged to attempt something fur
ther and calls u meeting for February 7 to
consider the needs of the city.
A paper was read by Mrs. J. II. Harvey ,
urging the consideration by the. club op cer
tain matters In connection with the public
Kchools. Mrs. Harvey believes that the bible
should be read In the schools and that pure
religion should bo taught thorc ; that school
mutters should bo divorced from politics ;
that women should sit upon school boards ;
that men should have fair recompense for
work upon such boards and that schools
should bo supported by direct tax. On mo
tion of Mrs. Holler it was decided to dis
cuss the first of these propositions at the
next meeting of the club.
They department of political and social
science Invites the club and Its friends to

day , January 29 , at i o'clock ; subject , "The
Colored Woman's Part In the New South. "

In committee meeting yesterday after
noon the council considered briefly the
waterworks bond ordinance as drafted by
the Commercial club. The ordinance , as
already published In substance , proposes a
liond Issue of $3,000,000 for the purchase of
the waterworks plant under the section of
the compiled ordinances reserving to the
city that right. Tbo members present ap
proved of the ordinance and passed It over

marks were made on the proposed amend
ment providing that one-third of the bonds
bo Issued In denominations of $100 In order
thnt persons of limited means might be en
abled to Invent their money. The objec
tion was raised that a now set of plates
would bo necessary , entailing considerable
extra expense. Nooto was taken , but thu
amendment was generally looked upon with
favor.
An Inquiry was started Into the right of
concert halls to carry on btmlness In struc
tures which hnvo been condemned by the
building Inspector. On rcnue , t of Council
man Mercer the city clerk produced the per
mit Issued to various' proprietors curly last

the sum of $1,000 to appcnr before the United
States district court In May.
The Ilrst witness Introduced by the state
was Inspector D. J. Sinclair , who stated
that ho saw the money turned over to Davis.
There was $68 In the poatoinee fund , $31
In postage stamps and $11)5.03 ) In the money
order fund. The rules of the department
provide that whenever'there Is the sum of
$50 In the treasury of a postolllce station
of this class In cxciws of the unpaid money
order advlcea on hand It shall be turned In
to the central office. When the money
was turned over to Davis Postmaster Crow
said that he would take the money order
fund to the main office , but Davis said that
Chat was unnecessary , as he would make
out the report and send It In In the regular
manner. Inspector Swift took a blank re
port and placed It near Davis' hand. This
wan on January 1C. The next morning
Dr.vls called the witness up and told him
the money was gone. Ho went out and
made an examination , finding that there was
a scar on ono of the drawers , as though an
attempt had been made to force the lock ;
thlb was on the upper drawer.
Charles Grow , stated relief , now In charge
of the station , told of the events of the
irornlng the loss was discovered. Ho ar
rived at thu station that morning and un
locked the door ; no ono else was present ;
before ho reached the door he discovered
that the gas lamps In the station -were
lighted and when Davis arrived a few mo
ments later the witness asked him If he
had been there In the evening or that mornIng -
Ing and lighted the gas. Davis replied that
ho had not. Witness then told of the open-
Inn of the safe , as reported at the time of
Davis" arrest and said that AS soon as
they thought the assistant postmaster had
arrived at the central office Davis attempted
to report the loss , but could not get the
assistant over the telephone ; that witness
soon after called up the assistant postmaster
and told him that ho would not do ono
cent's worth of business until some ono
from the main office came out , as matters
were not right at station II , but refused
to tell what was the matter over the tele
phone. The postmaster and Inspectors ar
rived soon after.
Inspector Sinclair was recalled by the
defense and testified that he had heard that
the man living In the rooms over the ela
tion had said that he heard a nolso In the
station between 4 and 5 o'clock on the mornIng -
Ing of the robbery.
Postmaster Crow told of the Instructions
given to Davis and that after the robbery
the latter told him that the money order
funds , amounting to $190.18 , had been
placed In the lower drawer. This drawer
showed no signs of having been tampered
with , but the money was gone ; Davis said
that ho had locked the drawers and had
taken the keys with him.
rtlchard Phoenix testified as to the work
of the olTico and to giving Davis the com
bination to the safe , which ho copied from
a paper which ho carried In his pocket. Ho
was given the combination by McKcnzle ,
Ills predecessor.
The. stnto rested and the defense Intro
duced no evidence. Bond was signed by
Messrs. Kramer and Hughes , who signed

Fontanello park to the Country club for a
term of years for golf links. The matter

Commissioners and was presented by J. Y.
Craig , who read the communication. After

lution was unanimously passed :

| SOUTH OMAHA SF.WS. j
The regular monthly meeting of the Com-
nierclal club will bo held ni the council
chamber on Friday evening of this week.
Quito n , number of Important matters are to
be considered and every member of the or
ganization Is urged to be present. The ques
tion of paving Vlntoni stieet will be dis
cussed nnd n report from a committee , In
connection with this matter , will bo made.
Today a committee of ten , appointed by the
directors n few days ngo , will visit the
Omaha Commercial club for the purpose of
seeing what can bo done toward securing the
paving of Vlntoo street frouj Twentieth to
Twenty-fourth streets. While South Omaha
cannot expend nny money for this proposed
paving It is thought that If the club lakes
hold of the matter subscriptions can bo se
cured from the business men who use the
street. Ono transfer malinger Is willing to
donate $100 to a paving fund and possibly
the packing houses may be Induced to con
tribute something.
The question of opening a road to the river
will also be discussed and it Is possible that
some feasible plan may be suggested.
It Is thu Intention of the club to com
mence systematically advertising the city
and considerable data has already been col
lected showing the amount of business trans
acted here. This Information Is to bo
printed In a suitable manner and onembors
of the club will be requested to enclose these
folders In letters.
Another matter to bo seriously considered
Is the assessed valuation. U Is asserted that ,
the valuation of South Omaha Is not nearly
as largo as It should be and something Is
to bo done toward having the assessors make
proper returns. In 1S99 the assessors re
turned a valuation of $1,821,665. while the
assessors employed In 1S9S fixed the valua
tion at $1,847,000. It was hoped last year
that the valuation would bo raised to $2,000.-
000. but Instead of making any Increase the
assessors decreased the valuation as com
pared with thu year previous. By going
after the assessors with a sharp stick it is
thought that proper returns will be made and
the corporation property assessed nt its
proper valuation. A great many Improve
ments have been made since the assessors
made their rounds last summer and it will
not be a hard miatter to Increase the valu
ation to what Is considered the proper fig
ures.

Building Inspector DuiiBqombe has sent
to Lincoln for a copy of the state law con
cerning the erection of fire escapes on
buildings over two stories In height. 'It
Is the Intention of the Inepcctof to try to
induce the Hoard of Education to erect suit
able fire escapes on tbo school houses. This
matter was brought up some time ago ,
but owing to the fact that a large sum of
money had to be spent 'fri the erection of
a new building , the members of 'tho board
decided to defer the purchase of fire escapes
until u loiter date. 'inspector ' Dunscouibe
considers that the state law Is much more
stringent 'than the city ordinance , and he
proposes to file complaints under this law
In case he is compelled to force property
owners to provide suitable escapes.

the kidneys arc in good working order.
Rheumatism can never bo cured by out-
wnrd applications ; no case of rheumatism
was ever known where the kidneys wore
well. Warnor'a Safe Cure will cure sick
kidneys , thus enabling them to do their
work of purifying the blood , and with
pure blood rheumatism is impossible.
IIBV. I. VILLAHS , pastor M. K. Church.
Sandwich , 111. , says : "I owe it to others to
say that for a year I suffered the most excru
ciating pain from rheumatism , I touched
u point where my friends' wore very much
alarmed. J-eelng the serious nature of the
case 1 yielded to the solicitude of my wlfo
anil began taking Warner's Snfo Cure.
With the first three bottles the acute pain
gave place to a milder form of the disease.
1 continued until 1 took nlno bottles ami
jegnrd myself as cured. My relief la be
yond expression. "
Under date of November ( i , 1809 , the pastor
writes : "After n delay of months , to be
sure that a euro of my rheumatism had
been effected , I deslro to Bay thnt 1 nm well
nnd nm persuaded that Warner'a Safe. Cure
did It. 1 bcllevo tlio mcdlclno will do all
.that Is claimed for it If the patient will fol
