no rivalry for the oHIccm and the election
was notably qulot.
Tho feature of tho evening session was a
boated discussion on advertising. It came
Ebout through tho action of tho society In
roftislng to act on the membership applica
tion of an Omaha dentist who was recently
graduated from ono of tho colleges. Kvon
those who vigorously opposed his admission
Ho membership admitted his skill as a den
tist and his high character as a gentleman
find citizen hut he advertises. It was the
Benso of tho meeting that n dentist who ro
fcortn to printers" Ink as a medium of pro
claiming his profession to tho public Is un
worthy of membership. However, several
speeches weio made In favor of admitting
the applicant with tho understanding that
dn tho future he will ceaso advertising. Hut
'.ho majority was In favor of allowing tho
matter to rest until tho next convention.
Tho early part of the evening was taken
KV with an Illustrated lecture by Or. 11.
wngcll of St. lf)ul and It was nearly 10
o'clock 'before the convention r earned the
routine bushier beforo It. Many of the
members left tho hall at the close of Dr.
lAngell'n lecture and that accounts for the
light voto that was cast.
Tho morning session was dovotcd to clinics
nnd domonntratlons of now nnd scientific
methods and operations in operative den
tistry or the preservation of tho teeth. Dr.
('. N. Johnson of Chicago gave a demonstra
tion of tho Insertion of gold-filling exempli
fying his vlewB on tho scientific preparation
of large and complicated cavities, following
out tho Hiiggcstlons made In a discussion
nf that subject the previous ovening. Dr.
Johnson holds tho chair of operative den
tistry In tho Chicago Collego of Dental Sur
Kcry. Ho In n forcible talker and demon
Htrator, which qualifications, together with
bin genial manners, ha placed him at tho
Jiead of his profession.
t'llnlo hall, at the college, was filled with
ilental chairs, which were occupied during
tho demonstrations chiefly by dentists, who
wcro content to sacrlllco thcineolvcs to tho
advancement of science and subject them
selves to tho proceui of taking n llttlo of
tholr own medicine. To tho observer It ap
peared that tho sufferers for the day wcro
tho recipients of greater consideration than
Id usually accorded tho occupant of the
denial chair, and tho nppllances of torturo
seemed to loso much of their ordinary fo
roclty out of sympathy for their fellow
vorkcrs.
Dr. Wcdclstaedt of St. Paul, Minn., gave
a demonstration of tho proper preparation of
a cavity for tho Insertion of a cement
filling; Dr. J. 0. Whlnncry of Omaha of
the insertion of a largo gold filling,

III Her Attempt.
Mrs. Mabel Crumes attempted to commit
tulcldo Thursday evening by taking a doso
of eye medkino containing a largo amount
nf utroplne. She had been quarreling about
homo trivial matter with her mother, Mrs
Mary Howard, with whom she resides In the
J.cvl flats at 801 South Thirteenth street.
This was shortly after ii o'clock, but no
effort wns made to secure n physician until
iho police station was notllled of thy affair
nt half past 8 o'clock.
When Police Surgeon Ames and the offi
cers arrived tney round ine wnmnn in a
half-delirious condition. She was seated In
a chair with her 3-year-old daughter on hor
lap. The woman's lingers were around the
child's throat as though she wero choking
It and when her hands wore unloosened by a
policeman the red marks on the tender skin
were plainly visible. She fiercely resisted
every effort to glvo medical treatment and It
was only after hard work that her system
was partially relieved of the poison. At n
laic hour she was reported ns having a good
chance for recovery.
Mrs. Crumes had another excuse for her
nctlnn asldo from tho quarrel; her hus
band left about u year ago and has not been
heard cf for a long time. This mado hor

necompaitist of the evening's program nnd t
further comment Is unnecetsary. There was
no Htumpt at self-assertion, but a sympathy
directed to each and evrVy voice.
Tho music of tho "Pi-mlim Oarden" Is not
strongly convincing; In fact. It given no
certain conception of the Jovial astronomer
who so pleasingly embodied and delightfully
expressed the truths e arc today realizing
nml who gave utterance to fundamental
tenet which today the ttorld Is accepting In
a largo meant re as Its creed.
The ladles nnd gentlemen who presented ;
the song cycle did. on the whnle. very com
mendable work. It was unfortunate that
tho parts were not butter atnlgncd. for In
Homo places It was illtllctiit to netennino
who was ihe contralto and who the soprano,
while tho tenor and basso 'wcro frequently
Interchangeable. The confusion arose from
the fact that neither tho soprano nor the
tenor nf the evening had a decided timbre,
the former being a mezzo, with a tendoncy
to good low tones nnd tho latter a barltono
with an extended compass .find a fqreed pro
duction. Mrs. Myron Smith was eaHlly tho dis
tinguishing feature of the evening and her
magnificent contralto voice was heard to
good advantage In the role assigned to her.
.Sho l a. musician nf much emotion nnd she
uses her voice with klll.
Mr. Manchester, dcsplto a tendency to
keep his mouth closed when he wishes to
solid his volco out, was convincing, cope
dally In his recitatives. His volco Is a puro
bat-so cantante nnd ho uses It with Judg
ment beyond hl years.
Mrs. Iearned entered Into her work with
vim and earnestness and In her solo work
sho produced some warm, delicious tones
whose beauty was fully appreciated.
Will McCuno wan much hotter In his solos
than in the concerto! work, but yet there
was lacking that Ideal quality which ono
looks for and expecl, most naturally, In a
tenor role of tho style which Is prevalent
throughout tho score of tho "Persian Gar
den." Taken as a whole, it may bo said
that the solo work was very good, but the
ensemble work Indifferent. The production,
however, surpassed tho previous presenta
tion. WOODWORKERS ARE LEFT OUT

IncreaslnR no "1 on occupation tax If It

nan.-c Increasing tho epeclnl license tnx
from $200 a year to K.00 was Introduced at
tho session held Monday night nnd was re
ferred to the Judiciary committee. As tho
resolution offered by Johnston calling for
this lncrcaso In tho tax was voted for by
llvo members. It Is presumed that tho samo

comes up on third reading. The mayor do-
sires to ko on record now as being opposed

iA majority of tho liquor dealers have paid

to Increase the occupation tnx after three

It is hardly probable that this will bo done.
Improvement)! nt (lie I'ovtnlllci.
Somo Improvements and changes are to
bo made to the now prstopice building. Tho
hood on the big smokestack Is to be raised
ten or fifteen feet In order to secure, ft
better drnft for the furnace. In order to
conform to the lines of the building tho
hood was placed Just above tho top of the
IjaIllMra(n an(1 BO 8hetcrc, tho 8lack that
It required n great deal of fuel last winter
U) keep tho furnaces going. Ily raising tho
stack It Is thought that much better draft
will bo obtained. In additon to preventing
tho slacU from drawlnc tho hood has n,
tendency to throw soot nil over the side
walk and tho building. The buff colored
brick In the building has been stained by
falling soot, no has also tho terra cotta
trimmings. The boiler Is to bo reset, as
the brick laid at tho time tho building was
erected have not given satisfaction.
Drmiuiil for lletter .SliletvnlUn.
There seems to bo a disposition on tho
part of property owners to maintain better
sidewalks. Petitions aro being presented
to tho council nlmost dally for the laying
of walks In various parts of tho city. This
Is considered a good Indlcaton of prosperity,
as all walkB laid aro taxed up ngalnst tho
abutting property. In the down town dis
tricts several new permanent Bldcwnlk
districts aro to bo created ns soon ns tho
city nttorncy gets around to drafting tho
necessary ordinances. Tho walks on Twen-ty-llfth
street from L to Q street nnd on
Twenty-sixth street from L to Q aro to bo
made permanent, s well as on L trcet
from Twenty-fourth street to Twenty-seventh

This Is partly supported by a dispatch to

says:

South America as his future home.

even rcllcrt nn Improvement In tho personnel

"The educatlvo effort should bo made by

heretofore had merely Intelligent men of

the suggestion that we should have men
not only Intelligent, but also adroit, skilled
and clever us well. Let Ihe colleges nnd uni
versities enlarge their courses In civil gov

them up In date. They should teach more
living l.inguagcH and fewer dead ones. It
should be firmly engrafted upon the pnllcv
of both political parlies, by declaration and
by practice, thai efficient men will be kept
In positions requiring export knowledge aixl
diplomatic training regardloss of party
changes. Of course, It would bo Inconceivable
thnt this course ever becomo applicable to

Joe. Blank had been employed by n dally
newspaper in a large town not 100 miles
from New York, relates the Sun. At tho
end of three weeks, nn unusually long time,
he was discharged for neglect of his duties.
He was penniless nnd ragged. An overcoat
ho had. It is true, but his trousers were
in lamentublo condition. To get a new start
ho knew that ho must manage to n;sumc
nn exterior of at least seml-rcspeclablllty.
After applying to his various acquaintances
with the usual result, ho bethought himself
of his old quarry, tho railroad companies.
Having procured himself a hammer and a
nail with nn especially Jagged head, he
sallied forth nt an hour when traffic Is
light. Ho succeeded In finding nn empty
car which ho occupied. Choosing a spot us
far removed ns possible from the eyo of the
conductor, ho sat himself down nnd produc
ing tho hammer and tho nail, ho proceeded
to drive the latter Into the seat, leaving
tho Jagged hend protruding about half an
Inch. This accomplished he deliberately sat
on the nnll nnd writhed. Tho result was
n void In the most Important part of his
raiment. Then ho nrose and hailing the
conductor pointed out to him the disgraceful
condition of the seat nnd tho result.
The conductor looked at tho nail and at
tho rent raiment ami was compelled to ac
knowledge n dear case of cause and effect.
Blank took the number of car and conductor
and In a few days tho company wero threat
ened with n suit for $7"i In compensation
for damages wrought to a new suit of
clothes worn by one Joseph Blank. The
company compromised on $L'0, the original
valuo of Ihe trousers being nbout $l.r0 new.
This is Blank's favorlto talo. lie Is es
pecially fond of telling It to tho young, as
a useful example of the methods which
they should pursue If they are lo mako
anything of n success In tills world.
