CHICAGO, April 0. Tho nnnlvcmary of
thu surrender of General Leo at Appo
mattox was celebrated by the Hamilton
club th I B evening with an elaborate ban
(luot, to which 3.G0O Invitations wero Is
sued and of which two-thirds woro ac
cepted. Tho dinner, which was held at the Audi

tious affairs ever given by tho Hamilton
club. Tho chief speakers of tho evcnlnc
wcro DlHliop Dudley of Kentucky nnd Pres

Tho bishop spoko as follows:
.Too Wheeler and KllzliUnh 1 ar tho
honored representative.1! of the ITnlted
Htntcs gnvcrnnioiit. Now (od bo praised
for all tlilHl God bo prabed that, when
tho beautiful Imago of tho southern Inde
pendence was bidden, nay, did dlsnppour
forever behind tho Htormclotid of tho bat

Hlglit tho vision not of gibbet nnd prlson
hoiiNn and vanxubigc, but of oldtlmo liberty
and brolherbood nnd eiiuallty tho vision
nf Columbia with mother heart and out
stretched iirms railing her sons of tho
southland back to their places of honor
nnd of Kcrvlcn by the family llreslde. And
tonight, as wo look upon nil thrso wonders
and marvel und givo tliunks, I can hear
tho voice of our great captain as he gives
answer to tho young Virginian who asked
If he should tnko the oatb of allegiance
to tho United StutcH government, "Yes,
tnko It, und thank God that you have the
privilege of taking it."
And so I am conio as your fellow citizen
In this proud and mighty nation to speak
of hint in whoso memory I am bidden to
speak. 1 speak of Hobert lCdwnrd l.ee, tho
patriot, tho soldier, who, by tho testimony
of Hcott, was his very right arm In tho
eotKtuest of Mexico: of Hobert Kdwnrd l.ee,
equally tho patriot, nnd soldier greater
than before, who maintained for four long
yeara tho unequal struggle, with over
whelming odds, for the principle that ho
had been taught, that his supreme ullegl
aneo was duo to Virginia, his mother state.
1 speak of Hobert Hdward l.ee, tho peerless
citizen In defeat, from whoso lips no word
of murmur ever enmoj who, when ho had
offered his sword to the conqueror too
noblo to accept It. went his way to tho
poverty and obscurity of the coming
years, content If he might bo useful In the
training of Virginia boys Into a noble man
hood. I speak of Hobert Kdwurd l.ee,
whoso body rests umong tho hills of Vir
ginia ho loved so well; whoso splendid
Imago looks down from towering
height upon the city ho labored so hard to
defend; whoso grave is In tho heart of his
countrymen, and whoso fame Is sounded
louder and louder every year from tho
trumpet of tho wlso and good throughout
the wide world.
Show Is Ills Fellow!"
In the month of June, 1S75, I returned
to Haltlmoro after my visit to my new
homo In Kentucky. My family were still
In tho old home In Haltlmoro and thither
camo olio afternoon, soon after my re
turn, nn Kngllsh clorgyinun, bringing to me
a letter of introduction. He tarried and
had his tea with us and thereafter, by my
invitation, accompanied mo to tho Academy
of Music, where the women of tho city wcro
to givo a great entertainment In aid of the
l.eu monument fund. On our arrival at
the academy wo found it crowded to the
very doors, and with difficulty secured
standing room in tho uppermost gallery. I
remarked to my Ktiest that ho must not
bo surprised by the exhibition of such
noisy enthusiasm, beruuKo in the audience
woro many men who had followed l.ce's
llatf,ind because all thero hud been In
hearty sympathy "With the confederate
ratiso; but I did not expect that the bishop
was to bavo personal part In such clunior
oiih demonstration of admiration and
affection for tho dead chieftain. The ex
ercises were begun by an oration from S.
Teacklo Wallis, the great Maryland ora
tor, und In concluding his splendid utter
unco he spake theso words; "Our neigh
bors across the border have been accus
tomed to taunt us with tho peculiarities of
our civilization: wo point them to Hobert
Hen us tho fruit of that civilization, and
bid them show us ids fellow!" Anil u
moment thereafter tho bishop found him
self with his hut gono into the air, yell
ing like a ragged rebel, and the young
Hngllshmau looking in amazement upon
this most uueiilscupal behavior.
The words have lodged In my memory
nnd tonight I proudly make them my own:
Yes. wo point tho lOiiKllsh-speaklng world
to Robert Leo as tho fruit of the civilization
of our home land, a. civilization now dead
und gone and for its departure wo can
now irive thanks we nnlnt the men nf tho
world to Hobert l.ee as the fruit of that
civilization and bid them show us his fel
low!
It had been expected that Justice Harlan
of thti United States supremo court would

gressman Francis W. Cushman of Wash

Went nrrr to This
City.
In railroad mileage tho west Is being
brought nearer nnd nearer to Omaha. Not
long ago the dlatanco from this city to
Dgdcn was stated at 1,033 miles. Tho
Union Pacific, now places tho distance at
1,010 miles, and by the end of this season
that remaining ten miles will be clipped
off nnd Ogden wlll.como within the thou
sand-mile limit. This decrease of thirty
three miles In the route is being accom
pllshcd at a cost of $6,000,000, but the offi
cials are of tho. opinion that the benefits to
bo derived will moro than compensate for
the largo amount of money that Is being
expended.
Uesldes tho decrease In mileage there has
romo In this improvement the reduction of
the grades. For Instance, In tho Sherman
hill cut-olT, which was explained at length
In Tho nee some weeks ago, tho lino has
been lengthened .37 of a mile, but the
grado has beon reduced frrom &7.CS feet per
mllo to 43.3 fect per mile. This Is tho
stretch of track from JJuford to Laramie,
about thirty miles In length.
Thcro 's some, sentlmput In this work.
Tho destruction of tho thoutand-mllo treo
last July was n source of regret to many
who havo looked out of tho car windows
when passing that point In Utah. The spot
which It marked, the ono-thousandth mllo
west from Omaha, has also passed Into
history, nnd soon that mark will havo
traveled ns far west as Ogden. Tho treo was
cut down July 17, 1000, because of the fear
that It would fall over on tho track. It
stood Just west of tho Wobcr fiver, beyond
Echo City.
Tho new work Is completed with the ex
ception of the Sherman hill cut-off, which
will bo opened within a few weeks, and tho
Lcroy to Hear river cut-off, which It Is
expected will ho finished this summer.
This last plcco ot work will bring the mile
age within 1,000 miles.

Tho Clark road Is again booming becnuso
of a decision In tho Carson, New, land office
last week, where the company won the first
round In the battle over tho abandoned
grade below Uvada, which it desires to use.
The ownership of tho grado Is In dispute,
the claimants before tho commissioner be
ing tlio Utah &. California and the Utah,
Nevada & California. Thb former road at
ono tlmo was in possession nt the rights of
the grade, which Is ready for tho laying of
tho rails for a distance of 121 miles In Ne
vada. Tho Utah, Nevada & California Is
said to be a straw company organized for
tho purpose ot holding tho grado In posses
sion of tho people who own tho Oregon
Short Line.
Senator Clark's compauy, tho San Pedro,
Los Angeles & Salt Lake, which Is building
tho lino from Los Angeles to Salt Lake,
reputed to bo tho western outlet to tho
roads not In tho Ilarrlman syndicate, Is
backing tho Utuh & California In the dis
pute. In other words, the contest over tho
grado nppenrs to have sottled down between
the Clark lino nnd tho Oregon Short Line.
The decision rendered declares the claims
ot the Utah, Nevada & California to bo
without merit, as tho rights which It
claimed to havo acquired from the Oregon
Short Line and tho Utah Northern, the
builder, aro forfeited. Tho Utah, Nevada
& California has thirty days In which to ap
peal from tho decision.
This comes in the face of tha news that
tho Oregon Short Lino has already con
structed a mile ot track on the old grade,
thus showing Its determination to head oft
tho Clark scheme and get Its road through
to Los Angeles first, if possible. Tho Clarks
declare they will light the Oregon Short
Lino's possession of the grade In the courts.

' j. C. Avck Co., Lowell, Mail,
Thcro Is a feeling in many real estate
ofllces Just now like tho lull that pro
cedes a storm. The lino days of April hnvo
brought out tho people In considerable
numbers, but there Is not yet tho business
that Homo agents havo looked for. In
quiry for homes, howevor, Is still good
nnd thcro Is n number of houso-scekers
making tho rounds of tho rental agencies.
As for rentals, however, It Is not antici
pated that tho moving season of 1001 will
bo as busy as In some other years. For
ono reason, on account ot tho mild winter,
many peoplo havo already done their mov
ing and have settled Into their house for
tho summer. Then again, theru aro not so
many deslrablo houses vacant now as Is
usual nt tho end of tho winter and many
peoplo who would llko to better their con
dition will bo forced to bo content with
.tho accommodation they havo now.
Tboro Is considerablo ncttvlty In tho
rental ageiictes In fixing up houses as they
become vacant and this Is accompanied 111
a largo number ot cases by nn Increase. In
rent. Oyo agent, who has only u email
rental business, snld yesterday that he had
been surprised by tho number of people
who bad been to him for houses during tho
last weak, as It seemed to Indicate that
those who were seeking houses found a
dlfflculty In getting whnt they wanted.
"Kvery rent In town, whether In dwelling
houso' property or In business or oftlco
blocks, can bo raised this spring," ho said,
"unless thcro has been an Increaso very
recently."
"I can see," continued tho agent, "a
policy of expansion pervndlng tho city.
Dusiness men want moro room for their
business; they are cramped and their earn
ings aro limited by their want of spaco.
Kvoryono wonts larger homes and thero Is
a very general willingness to pay higher
rents If the right house In tho right
neighborhood can bo found."
Cuah Iliiyrr Huh So AilvniiliiKr.
It hos been noted beforo that Just now
the man with a pocketful of money hns no
advautago when It comes to buying him
self a homo to llvo In over tho man who
can only manage to scrnpo together 'the 10
to 25 per cent of tho price for a first de
posit, depending upon his salary to meet
tho monthly payments as they becomo duo,
Tho 'situation In this respect is probably
unique In tho history of Omaha nnd the
samo conditions exist elsewhere In the
country. It Is not only tho buyer who has
n banking account In these days; thoso
who havo houses ond lots for sale nro In
tho samo position and this Is why they ore
not anxious to turn tho real estate hold
ings Into cash directly.
If thoy can sell at a sutllclcnt profit,
cash or mortgage Is equally acceptable.
11 ut tho conservatism of tho huyers Just
now Is so great that It Is very rare, Imloqd,
for any salo to bo made with any great
margin. Foreclosed properties aro still
on the market In sufficient numbers to
hold down prices to nbout tho lowest possl
ble figures and whore unythlng elso Is of
fered It is necessarily at corresponding
prices.
Thus It actually comes about that many
ownor nro actually willing to sell cheaper
to the man who will givo a mortgago back
than to ono who Is unwilling to pay Inter
est and Is ablo and anxious to buy for
spot cash. When thoy offer their property
for salo they want thu Interejt, not tho
coin. They havo already moro money than
thty can ttnd an outlet for.
A remarkable evidence of the disadvan
tage of tho cash buyer occurred not long
ago In tho sale ot a western Iowa farm,
it was offered for sain on deferred pay
ments nt a rato of Interest which In or
dinary times would bo a great Inducement
to a buyer. No ono could bo found willing
to puy Interest money, however, nnd tho
farm was actually sold for cash at a prlco
that was Jl an aero higher than 11 had been
advertised for.
This condition Is characteristic of tho
times. That It Is not noticed so much in
Nebraska as In Iowa and somo other states
Is due, according to real estate dealers, to
two causes.. In tho first place, as has been
frequently observed during tho past few
months, thero Is not yet the same Invest
ment demand at any rato for city properly
on Jills sldo of tho Missouri, as has beou
developed further east; and In tho second
place, whllo thero Is perhaps Just as much
Idle money and consequently tho samo
presauro to llnd a place for It In real cstnto
mortgages, thero Is tho continual four of
tho Nebraska foreclosure laws, which makes
tome peoplo wary ot accepting oven tho
most favorable kinds ot a mortgage.
A real cstnto man who has had large
dealings with worklngmen ami others who
nro seeking small homes, and whose success
in business Is attributed largely to his
discrimination between the rcllnblo nnd tho
unreliable buyer, snld not long ago that
ho has frequently been forced to do In
justice to many worthy people because of
tho number of unworthy ones who wero
willing to tnko advnntago of whatever op
portunities tho law allowed for escaping
the obligations which they had taken upon
themselves.
As a rule, however, tho condition of tho
foreclosure laws has tho effect of giving
a greater margin of security to 'tho
mortgagee nnd making the conditions moro
binding on tho borrower, aud this Inllucnco
Is not felt so keenly by tho buyer who has
cash to put Into a deal, for It he gives back
n mortgago at nil ho does not want It lo
cover more than a third of tho purchaso
price, nnd this In most cases Is ample se
curity for tho mortgage.

Tho demand for lands of all sorts In Ne
braska and tho neighboring stutcs and tho
high prices which havo prevailed still con
tinue, though thero nro fewer sales now
being reported In Omaha consequent on tho
lateness of tho season.
As evidence of tho conditions, however,
tho figures given by tho commissioner of
school nnd public lands In South Dakota
aro of Interest. Only n few' yeurs ago, for
example, peoplo wero emigrating from
Ilrown and l)ay counties and tho lands
could not bo sold for tuxes. During nbout
a couplo of weeks tho state commissioner
of lands has disposed of over .1,000 acres in
Day county nt nn nverago of moro than $13
an acre. In Ilrown county tho average prlco
obtained for U0 acres sold was $18, ono
plcco bringing $25 per acre. As high as
$3.") was given for another plcco In Coding
ton county.
In Itobcrts county, especially, n largo Im
migration Is reported, nud 'there largo
quantities of land wero sold tit good prices.
An offer ot $10 for 'land that Is no bettor
thnn plenty moro In that section of tho
utato was mndo In (Irani county. I'coplo
nro said to be flocking Into tho stnto In
large numbers nnd great ndvnncos in land
values aro predicted for the next two years.

"So long as everyone who wants n noma
Insists on having It within walking dis
tance," cald an agent tho other day, "mauy
will havo to go without. It is vory nice to
bo ablo to llvo so near to business as to bo
Independent of street cars, but It costs
money. Deslrablo lots such as would satisfy
n clerk with n good salary can be had In
the suburbs for $600 to $S00, or In somo
places oven less. Around tho High school
these would cost -$2,000 and upwards, und
that Is nbout na much ns a young married
man with nothing but his monthly salary to
depend on can afford to pay for tho houau
nnd lot together."
In discussing this proposition the agent
pointed to tho fact that thero wero very
fow parts of Omaha which wero easily ac
cessible anil which wero not In somo way
or another Bpolled for Iho man who wnnted
a comfortablo home and could not afford
tho prlco of n lot In tho West Farnnui
district or In Hanscom place. Tho hills
and hollows make a considerablo section
of tho city unavailable for such purposes;
nr.d these aro unsightly dwellings, smull
machine shops, untidy clay banks or beds
of weeds or dcop holes or rickety sldo
walks or broken-down palings or somo
other objectionable feature In nearly every
section of the city."
It was the opinion of this ngeut that
this stnto of things hod more to do with
the low rents In Omaha than anything else.
"Wo often have applications for houses
from people who come In from smaller
towns In Nebraska or Iowa. They expect
to pay nioro here, but they want some
thing Just as neat and nttracttvo as they
havo been nccuatomed to. This is it dif
ficulty which time alone can overcome and

Hrnest Sweet will introduco n resolution
at today's meeting of tho Heal Hstato ex
chango prohibiting tho members from divid
ing commissions with any person who Is
not also a member of the exchange. Mr.
Sweet Is of tho opinion that thu curbstoncr
Is getting to bo a serious menace to the
leglttmatu real cstato agent and whllo his
resolution covors every ono who is not In
tho exchange, It. Is aimed at (hose who have
no olllco and in most cases no responsible
standing as real cstnto agents. It Is getting
to bo a common practice, ho says, for fcuch
people to reply to an advertisement with
n view to trying to negotlnto n salo. If
they succeed they will generally try to
secure tho entire commission, and tho ngent
who has been to tho oxpeuso of advertising
gets nothing, liven If tho curbstone man
Is content with a half commission, Mr.
Sweet suggests, It will perhaps be only n
short tlmo before every Intending buyer
sends In u friend In order that ho may In
directly escapo tho payment of tho full
agent's commission.
Mr. Sweet ulso points out that within
his knowledge many peoplo havo deposited
monoy with irresponsible curbstono men for
deals which havo subsequently fallen
through over somo technicality, and have
had difficulty in recovering their $25 or $50.
For tho protection of the public as well as
of tho reputable ngents, therefore, Mr.
Sweet Is In favor of giving no asslstauco to
lurbstoners,
The chief Interest of today's meeting of
tho exchange, however, centers in thu pub
lic auction on the second floor of tho Hoard
of Trado building, ns advertised, ut 110
P. ni. This is tho first time that outside
land has been offered at ono of tho ex
change auctions and It will bo interesting
to see how much bidding there will be for
the Holt county ncies after two weeks' ad
vertising, Thero has been considerable In
quiry about tho property from local agents
and In all probability a number of bids
higher than the low reservo figure at which
It Is held will bo offered. Some vacant
lots In tho outskirts of Omaha are also to
be sold.
In view of the auction, there will bo no
speaking at today's meeting of the ox-change,
will not continue moro than three or four
duys.
Humors of a restraining order havo been
circulated through tho city ball tor several
days,, but tho Judgo and his attorneys have
not shown their hand as yet and the coun
cllmcn and mayor aro not expecting any In
terference on tha part ot the courts.
"A lestrnlnlng order would only delay
matters temporarily nnd could not result
in any benefit to Judgo Gordon," City At
torney Connell remarked. "Tho case must
bo tried on Its merits sooner or later, Jii3t
as It was before Judge Dickinson, nnd there
Is no question about tho result.
"Wo havo found by nn examination ot tho
records that fines havo been Illegally sus
pended In hundreds of cases. When 1 say
hundreds ot cnM I nm not exaggerating,
l'rlsoncrs havo pleaded guilty by tho hun
dred and been sentenced by Judgo Gordon.
After committing tho prisoners he sus
pended tho sentences nnd released tho
prisoners without tho payment of even tho
costs.
i "It Is no wonder that. Hip Incomo from
police court fell off. 1 was astounded when
I found what a gcn'ernl uso Judgo Gordon
mado of tho pardoning power. That power
Is vested In tho mayor alone and oven he
cannot releaso a prisoner until nffidavit
has been mado that the man Is unnbVo to pay
the costs.
"Kvery month during his term Judgo
Gordon maoo a freer uso of tho pardoning
power nnd tho receipts from tho pollco
court (ell to such a ridiculously low point
that something had to bo done. A compari
son of tho Incomo of tho court during his
term nnd during thu short tlmo that Judgo
Learn sat on tho bench makes Judge
Gordon's shortcomings nil tho moro ap
parent." In Judge Dickinson's court yesterday
tho attorneys for Samuel I. Gordon mado
application to havo tho mandato of the
suprerio court entered as part of tho
records In tho district court of Douglas
county. Tho movo Is a purely formal one,
but may foreshadow further effortH of the
lato pollco Judgo to get his cbbo beforo tho
district court again. It will In no way Inter
fere with tho proceedings now under way
beforo tho city council.

The Best
Office Building"
Moving Is not pleasant to think about ex
cept when the prospect of a handsome
ofllce Is In prospect. You have to get up a
certain amount of steam to move, even
when you aro driven to desperation by poor
Janitor work, wretched elevator service and
ofllces that have been long In need of paint
ns well as soap and water.
The Bee Building
always looks fresh and attractive because
It Is never allowed to get out of repair.
This together with efficient Janitor service
make it a pleasant place to do business.
Uesldes this the rents are no higher than
in other buildings.
