The mcmbsrs of tho striking Carpenters'
Union met Wcdntsday night at Washington
tall and tho session was quite lengthy, lait
Ing until nearly 11 o'clock. Tho report of
tho committee which had been conferring
wlth the. representative of the contractors
during tho day won received, but this was
not a Kourca of much witUfactlon. After a
long' and spirited discussion the. mattor In
controversy stood Just as It did before with
no prospect of an early settlement. Ono of
tho carpenters remarked: "Tho contractors
till want everything their owu way and
urc Unwilling to concede a single point,"
and thl seems to be tho prevailing scntl
Qient among tho strikers. The contractors
iro apparently not rondy to talk of conces
ilons and the carpenters are as firm as
bver In their resolve to obtain the 40-ccnt
cale. Tho conference committee wa.i con
tinued and will meet the contractor' com
mittee, again. Tho union adjourned to incut
xl the call of the president.
Thei striking carpenters and woodworkers
Intend to enlUt the homo patronage bureau
it tho Commercial club in their contontlon
.'or the recognition of the union label. A
ommltteo will visit tho bureau and pretent
H, statement setting forth the position of
tho unions.
One ot the leaders, speaking of the matter,
laid, that tbo union was making an effort to
put Into practice the object for which tho
bureau was created. Ho eald: "Certainly
tho bureau should second our endeavors to
have no planing mill work used In Omaha
not mndo In the city. Tho Item ot labor la
generally tho largest expense In tho pro
duction of planing mill work. The conten
tion of tha employers Is that they bo per
mitted to buy and uso tho product of eastern
milts, as they can purchase tho goods
cheaper. Thn reason nr tho cheaper prlco
of tho casteyn mill ork Is tho Item of
labor, Omaha's mills sutler tho old scale
havo paid from fi to li cents an hour less
for labor than the eastern mills, nut when
caslon mill etuff In uted, all ot tho monoy
troves Ornahn with the possible exception of
nn Hntt's commission. As tho practice, ot
htiylriK eastern eoods Increases tho working
tr.Cn will bo forced to, leave tho city to And
tiork- !f tho carpenters are supported In
Owlr contention and are successful It will
tnedrf tht Omaha planing mills will In
cre.it .i tbelr capacity and hundreds of well
paid worklngmon will bo added to tho city's
population."
Planing mill owners admit the forco ot this
nrirnmont, but say that It In Impossible to
ttln fin desired object. W. K. Ratos, who
operates a mill In South Omaha, voiced the
Ideas of a number ot mill owners when ho
said:
"Wo would like to make all of our mill
work In Omaha, but wo cannot. Tho lum
ber yards and other dealers will continue to
handle eastern stock and will sell at lower
prices than we can. We must, therefore,
be permitted to buy and sell this stock when
It becomes necessary to do so In order to
get contracts. Many ot our orders are filled
partially from eastern stock and the re
mainder Is made In our mills. If the work
ingmcn can show me somo plan to shut out
tho commission men and tho brokers In eont
era stock I will gladly sign the agreement
to use the local union label, but I can show
too, in South Omaha fifty union carpenters
working on eastern mill stock and I have no
reason to believe It would be any different
next year."
Tho, action of tho Bricklayers' union I
strongly condemned by members of tho
other unions afllllated with the building
trades, aa membero of that union are now
t work upon buildings where non-union
planing mill work Is being uhcU. It Is
stated bybrlcklayors that thenulldlngTradcs
council has no Jurisdiction over their union
nnd that the course of tho bricklayers wilt
lie guided by tho action of their local union
aloho.
FOGARTY'S ANTIQUE WILL
Document Written In 1878 In Offered
lor I'robntc In the County
. Court,
. P. H. Carey yesterday ottered for probate
In county court a will bearing a flavor of
tntlqutty. It was tho last will and testa
ment of John Fogarty, who died recently,
but tho document was written In 1878 while
tho maker was a patient at St. Joseph's hos
pital. In it ho bequeathed to his brother,
Michael Fogarty of Baltimore, bis proporty
In Omaha and what monoy ho had In bonk.
At the tlmo tho wll was written Fogarty
Is said to havo been worth considerable
monoy, but at the tlmo of his death bis poe
tensions had dwindled to a fow lots In this
city of no special value, which are likely to
bo moro than absqrbcd In claims pending
Mnlnst his estate. Up to a, short time pror
to his death the deceased had retained tho
will In his possession, but n little while ago
his papers pawed Into the possession of Mr.
paroy. One peculiarity of the will Is that
It bore no date and the only Indication of
Us, antiquity was a note n6companylng It In
the samo handwriting, acknowledging the
rocolpt from one of the slstors at St. Jos
eph's hospital of the $10 feo paid the attor
ney for writing It. Tho attornoy who wrote
tho will is still practicing In this city.
"Had Fogarty lived a little whllo longer,"
uirt the attorney who accompanied Mr. Ca
rey, "this will would have beon of little
worth, lor all that Fogarty possessed would
have been, spent. At- the time he wrote It
tho will would havo conveyed considerable
property and money, but Fogarty has never
dono anything siuco tho will was written
and has lived on tho money which It was
Intended to' convey by It until It is prac
tlcally all absorbed."

An ordlnanco against tresspass Is ono of
tbo crying needs of tho hour In the rstlma.
tlon of tho members of the Real Instate ex
change. The neceEslty of such a measure
Is said to be due to tho fact that in many
eases agents who have had tho renting of

surprised upon visiting them to find them
already Inhabited by parties who had paid
no rent and never asked the sanction ot
anyone for taking possession. Tho Ileal
Estate exchange, at Its meeting Wednesday,
decided to ask tho council to adopt an ordi
nance Inflicting a flno of from 5 to $100

to change Its placo of meeting from tho

poor claro of carriers If the work were let

carrlom throughout tho country which
would bo even moro disastrous. While tho

In n Suit GrotTliiK Out of
the nxjioNltlnti.
Judge Munger has handed down an opin
ion In tho case of Richard S. Horton
against tho Omaha Oil and Paint company
and others. This Is tho case brought by
Mr. Horton ns trustee of the property of
the Greater America Exposition company,
bankrupt, against certain creditors of tho
company who wero attempting to enforce
mechanics' Hens In tho stoto courts. Tho
action was one to enjoin the prosecution of
tho suits on tho lien pending an adjudica
tion of tho affairs of tho bankrupt company.
The questions Involved wero now to tbo
Unltod States courts and tho caso has been
under consideration for several weeks, there
having Been two hearings, At tho first
hearing tho Judgo hold against tho plaintiff,
but before tho opinion was delivered tho
Judge permitted him to file an amended
petition. Tho hearing on this petition was
had last week.
Tho opinion decides that tho suits in tho
stato court bo stayed, so far as tho exposi
tion company Is concerned, but may bo
tried as to tho other defendant, tho Chicago
Wrecking company. In his opinion tho
Judgo holds that under the bankruptcy law
only such actions may bo stiyed as grow
out of claims which may bo proved In a
court of bankruptcy; that tho mechanics'
Hens aro preferred claims which may not
bo so proven; that the action on a me
chanics' lien Is an action In rom, whero a
personal Judgment Is not sccurod against
tho defendant, and that by the salo of the
property to tho Chicago Wrecking company
tho exposition company ceases to be n
necessary party to tbo suit to foreclose tho
Hen.
This decision places a large part of tho
supposed assets ot the exposition company
In tho hands of tho state courts and Jeo
pardizes several thousand dollars which
was retained by tho wrecking company
for tho purposo of paying oft any liens
which may be enforced.

In the case ot Samuel C. Malln against
tho Hammond Packing company for $5,000
damages for the death of a son of the
plaintiff Judgo Munger sustained a demur
rer to tho bill nnd the caso was dismissed.
Tho petition set up that the plaintiff, who
had .begun suit against the defendant for
tho doath of his Bon, signed an agreement
under which tho defendant wan to pay the
funeral expenses of his son and to glvo tho
plaintiff work "at living wages" ns long as
he should demand It. Tho petition alleges
that tho defendant discharged tho plaintiff,
henco tho suit.
Tho Judgo held that tho term "living
wages" was so Indefinite that a court ot
equity would not attempt to enforce them
and that the agreement was n contract
which could not be altered by parolo tes
timony. OMAHA MEDICS MEET AT MEAT

GROWTH OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY

Kiliicitttonnl .Note.
The Iowa legislature followed the cxamplo
of Nebraska In providing a special tax of
one-tenth of a mill for supporting tho state
university. This will glvo the university a
regular fund, Insuring permanence and prac
tically beyond tho reach of legislative
caprice. Mr. J. L. Packard, writing In
Education, sketches tbo remarknble progress
of tho Institution. When established In
1S55 It had two professors and ono Instruc
tor. Ono year later there wero a nominal
president, six professors and 121 students,
of whom nineteen wero In tho college
classes. In 1SD8 tho first student received
tho degree of bachelor of science, and tho
college work was suspended until 1860, when
It was resumed with nn overtopping normal
department. Tho first catalogue showed
twenty-two collegiate students pursuing n
course that was skimpy nnd limited, By
1878 thero wero ninety students In the four
collego classes, and tho next year the pre
paratory school was cut off. Today there
nro 1,100 students, of whom nearly 700 aro
In tho colleglato department, to which stu
dents are admitted upon nn examination fdlly
two years In advance of tho requirements
of twenty-flvo years ago. Tho number of
graduato students Is rapidly Increasing, this
yeur's contingent numbering nt least 150,
of whom ninety nro candidates for tho
master's degree or n doctorato of philosophy.
Tho courses In all tho professional depart
ments havo been doubled In length of time,
resulting In a moro thorough training.
Keep Vouiik Children Out ot Hchool.
A writer In tho Journal of Education con
tend that children aro usually sent to
school nt too early an age. "Llttlo children
1 and 5 years old should bo out of doors
nearly nil their waking hours, developing
strong bodies, sturdy constitutions and, In
cidentally, brain power, so when they enter
tho school room they will havo gained
power to learn easily, which l reached
only after tho child has arrived at a certain
stage of Its development." In tho opinion
of tho writer If laws were framed so that
tho child could not enter school until 7
years old, tho work now taking nine years
to completo could easily be done In six
years with loss effort, 1cm fatigue and n
better grasp of tho subject. A real mental
gain nnd a raco decidedly stronger phys
ically would be the result. In proof of these
assertions It U pointed out that In many
cities whero pupils nro not considered of
sahool ago until C years old tho course of
study Is but eight years, and tho child
graduates from tho high schools at as early
an age ns In other places where children
enter at the ago of 5 and the courne Is one
year longer, although covering tho samo
ground.
Million for Rducntlou.
A list of gifts and bequests for educa
tional and philanthropic purposes In tho
United States durlnc 1SP9, compiled for Ap
pleton's Annual Cyclopedia, foots up tho
enormous total of $C2,D50,000. As this list
recognizes only gifts of $5,000 or over. It does
not Include tbo ordinary contributions by
which most of tho Institutions concerned
nro actually maintained. It excludes also
all public appropriations, the object being
to present only thoso distinct examples of
tho devotion of private wealth to the gen
eral ndvnntage that aro matters of public
rocord.
Tho greatest sum which such gifts reached
In any previous year was $45,000,000 In
1897. In 1898 tho corresponding compila
tion gavo $38,000,000. Last year, as has
been Bald, the sum reached $62,530,000, ma
king the total recorded In tho seven years
last past $266,550,000.
By far tho largest sums aro given to uni
versities to Harvard, Yale, Columbia,
Princeton, Pennsylvania, Chicago and Le
land Stanford, This U as It should be,
since tho higher education must depend on
private aid. Next to this, the money given
for various kinds of Industrial training la
a olgu of tho times thnt Is gratifying. Li
braries nnd gnllcrlcs of nrt also claim nnd
recclvo a largo sharo of our rich mcn'a
bounty. An Interesting table might be com-
! piled from this list, showing tho various
degrees In which different Holds of educa
tion or of philanthropy hivo appealed to
different minds, na well as tho geographical
distribution of tho gifts recorded Hut even
In Its bread outlines this statement Is full

The comparatively slim attendance of boys
In the high schools has been mado the sub
ject of Investigation by tho School Review.
Tho result showed that 11.51 per cent of tho
pupils In all American high schools nro boys,
whllo In tho cities the proportion is still
lower, being 28 per cent boys In St, Louis
and 29 per cent In Chicago. In the higher
classes ot tho high schools tho percentage
of boys Is still less, Chlcngo having 37 per
cent boys In tho first year of tho high school
and only 22 per cent In tho fourth year, In
dicating that about four times as many girls
as boys graduato from tbo high schools,
This condition of affairs leads tho editor

of tho School rtevlew to wonder whother tho
high schools aro not In danger ot "losing
their coeducational charactor and becoming
practically fcmalo seminaries." During
moat ot tho century thero has been agita
tion for higher education of women. Pos
sibly this has been so great as to cause ne
glect ot tho higher education ot boys. "Cer
tainly If wo aro not to havo a comparatively
Ignorant malo proletariat opposed to a fe
male aristocracy It Is tlmo to pause and de
vice ways ond moans for getting moro ot our
boys to attend high schools," eays the School
Hevlow.
Tho editor sent circulars to the principals
ot tha leading high schools. All agreed that
boys aro In greater need of higher education
than nro girls. With tho boys, however, In
thin practical age tho question Is, Will high
school education pay? and unloss It Is likely
to pay the boya nnd their parents regard It
as a waste to spend four years at high
school. Tho general opinion ot the prin
cipals Is that tho courses aro cstlll too milch
In accord with tho old Idea of academies
fitting boyn for professional echools and col
lege. A majority of tho principals, among
them superintendent Nightingale, urged that
strong manual training schools nnd araplo
commercial courses bo mndo n part of the
cxtatlng high schools. It la Interesting to
observe that many bellevo tho toys stay
away from the high school because of their
dlollko to female teachers. The Impression
scorns to bo that tho elder boys want to bo
taught by mem and when women teach them
they lose much Interest In their work.
