The action of tho Hoard of Education In
Iaflns a rule making military drill com
pulsory and requiring all cadets to pur
ctnse uniforms from tho firm to which a
contract wag awarded by tho board has re
vived the opposition to drill In the High
Hchool and called forth criticism from
parents who feci that the contract price on
uniforms la excels I ve.
Hlnco tho organization of the High school
batalllon lu 1851 the price of uniforms has
been constantly on the Increase. Manufac
turers contend thnt thu rise In prlco Is due
t' an Increase In the price of cloths and
the cost of making the suits.
Meutenant Julius A. 1'enn, who was com
tuntdaut of the battalion when (t was or
Kfttilred, prepared tpeclflcatlons for the uni
forms and had the board secure bids before
awarding (he original contract. The spocl
tiintlous were for uniforms made of tho
ntue material which is ued by tfce cadets
ft Point. The price secured on coat,
tiuuscrs and cap was 113.53. More than 200
tinlforru were purchased at this price
In ISM Pettlbone & Co. secured the con
tract for supplying uniforms at $12.65 and
kept It for several years. The Continental
Clothing company secured the contract In
1SD9 on a bid Of $14.25. Browning, King 6
Co., were the auccessful-couipetltors tor the
contract In 1900 and supplied uniforms at
$1. Tho same firm was awardod tho con
tract again this year on a bid of $16. No
other cOmrtany entered the competition for
tho present year. '
Drill .Not Alvrna Easv.atlnl.
When military work wa first Introduced
at tho High school It was optional and
meubers of the battalion did not exceed
SUO. Upon the recommendation of Lieuten
ant Penn the work was made compuleory
In 18M. It was possible, however, for boys
to be excused from military work In cao
they were In poor health or were forced to
support themselves by working when out of
school. The new rule Increased the slz
of tho battalion materially.
.Although the recent action of the board
will make It nori difficult to get excused
from drill, the commandant nnd principal
of tho High school ttlll have power to grant
excuses In case thoy deem It fldvll.lhtn In fin
o. For the last two years credits have,
been given for military work and every
effort hnj been loado to eel nil able-bodied j
student Into the battalion. Tho number!
oi now cadcta who enter the b.ittallon ts
now about 250. Doys who drill four years
are allowed .thret credits fot graduation.

tun paid these army officers nothing but
a small monthly nJlowanco for 'street car

Tho rlsht of the Hoard of Education to
compel cadets to purclutst' uniforms from
the firm with which a contract Is made, hat
been questioned at various tiroes since the
organization of the battalion. The rule re.
eontly passed by tho board requires that
uniforms shall he purchased from the ccr.
tractlng firm .and stipulates that clothing
bought elsewhere will not be considered
up to specifications. This rule will make
it possible for the commandant to put Into
the non-uniformed companies all boys who
have suits which were not bought front
the Arm holding the contract for the year.
The hoard of Education was practically
unanimous In Itssupport of the, change In
the rules which requires th.U all uniforms
be. purchased from tho same firm. In sup
purt'ot this rule Commandant Pearse said;
"Hy having tho suits nil purehaeod from
tho snm,v company it will be possible to
give the member of tho hattaUon a uniform
appearance Where various firms supply
tho uniforms there Is a variety In color
and cut that gives, the companies a bad ap.
pcarnncc."

One of the. older boys now attending the
High school in talking of the matter sMd:
"I snow of bo-3 attending the High school
who are rcnlly too poor to pay $16 for a
uniform and whose parens must really dc
prlve themselves of necessities as it Is In
order to keep them In school. As a matter
of fact there are mighty few boys who
would .wear $16 suit to attend school In.
especially when you can buy good three
piece sultu for from $8 to $12. it seems
pretty stiff, to be rompolted 'to pay $lrt for a
coat nnd pair of trousers. Then unless
n boy-wears hie uniform all the time he gets
very little good from It, for ho eoon out
grows It, and will certainly have -to buy at
least two .uniforms while he Is In the High
school, If the rule of the board" Is made to
hold. Another Injustice In making the drill
compulsory Is that the board has thus made
different requirements for bos and 'glrla
ho are taking the High school course."
The city once had difficulty In regard to
the matter of policemen's uniforms. 'Its
experience may be of service to tho school
boarJ. When the contractors had practically
completed a monopoly of tho matter1 the
police commission solved the question by
buying the cloth of the grado required and
Issuing It at cost prlco to the men to have
made up wherever thoy saw fit. No com
plaint has ever been heard that tho Omaha
police do not present h good appearance.
Hixli Price of CnniM.autlant.
Commandant Pearse Is the one who ap
pears to have the easy end of the present
situation. It Is reliably stated that an
.offer frpm a cqmpetnent person was made
to 'tho board to drill the battalion for $10
per month. This offer waa doollned and the
position given to Mr. Pearse at $50 per
month. Last year Mr, Pearse was on the list
of the faculty of the. High school and had
three hour1 teaching dally In addition to
the drill. For this he was paid $85 per
month. He worked seventeen hours per
week aud u paid at the rate of $i.5 per
hour. This year ho works two hours per
week and receives pay at the rato of $s.:i
per hour.

At a brief meeting of the city council held

. Whereas, Treason nnd murder have ngaln
deprived the nutlon of Us chief executive
by an act o unexpected, wanton and
fiendish that It startled the civilized worl 1

While we ikfploro the manner of his death

That In common with nil good citizens we

oeath our country hns suffered the loss of a
wise, honest and patriotic statesman,
mough dend the memory of his goodnces

Immortal spirit has taken flight to the

favorite hymn, 'Nearer, My Clod, to Thee
Ncnrcr to Thee." Trusting that the prin

CONNOLLY'S JNAME IS FILED

4'iiurl Order.
Chairman Kd Howell and Sccrctnry L.
J. Plattl of the dcmosratle county central
cpmrulttce have died with County Clerk
Haverly a certificate of tho nomination by
the democratic convention of James P.
Connolly for county commissioner In thu
Second district. Coiuty Clerk Haverly ac
cepted the certificate for filing, but gavo no
assurance, not even an Intimation, that
he would place tho name of Mr. Connolly
on the official ballot.
The clerk has been ordered by the dis
trict court to cnll for the election of n
county cominUsloncr In the first district,
composed of, the Fourth, Seventh nnd
Eighth wards, when he lesues his clectloi
proclamation, n,nd as tho form of the offi
cial ballot will undoubtedly follow the lines
of the proclamation, It does not appear
that Mr. Connolly's name will go before
the voters, unless some further order of
the-court changes the position of the county
clerk In the matter.
Connolly and his friends will probably
ask I ho clerk within a day or two what ho
proposes to do, nnd If thcy are told that
tho name of the candidate in the Second
commissioner district Is not to to printed
on the ballot, they will begin a mandamus
case. In order to grnnt a writ of man
damus to cumpcl the clerk to put Con
nolly's name on the billot the district court
would have to reverse Itself, which Is
hardly probable If the district court do
nlcs the writ, as It probably will, an ap
peal will bo taken to the supremo court.

Hall Cnlne's "The Eternal City," promised
long ago and looked forward to with rauh
Interest by the literary world. U at hand
at last. It Is very apt to be the case that
when a book has been much tnlked about
before Its appearance that readers form
too high an estimate of the treat In store
for them and when It finally appears there
is very apt to be n feeling of disappoint
ment. In this case, however, the rule does
not hold good. "The Eternal City" Is one
of the best books ever written by Hall
Calno and any admirer of his earlier works
will be more than pleased with the latest.
In scroi respects It reminds one verv
strongly of "The Christian," though very
different after nil. It Jells the storv of
David Hosal, who sets himself up as the
savior of the Itoinan people and Is perse
cuted accordingly In an unfortunate mo
ment be falls in love Aith ltoma. who Is
Jffst the woman to get him Into more trou
blt, and all sorts of misfortunes come to
them both. While the love story of Rorna
and David will be of paramount Interest to
the average reader. It Is only the framework
upon which the author stretches the lesson
which ho wishes to teach, and In the epi
logue, "In the Future," he gives the result
of such n lesson were It once well learned.
It Is n worthy Idea, hut seemingly Impossi
ble with human nature as It I'l. Mr. Calne
has drawn a saintly picture, and a very
human and admirable one, of the old pope.
Tho author has explained that the storv
of "The Eternal City' Is, both on Its human
side and on the side of Its. Intellectual In
tention, the story of Samsou and his life
long struggle with tho lords of the Philis
tines. Viewed from this point, it will be
seen at onco that the author mapped out
for himself a herculean task und ono most
dlfllcult to accomplish. How well he has
succeeded must be Judged by the readers.
Hut, leaving that question out entirely and
viewing It merely as a novel without pur
pose, It Is a powerful story, told In a
masterly style. I). Applcton & Co., New
York.
The contest between the Christian and
the heather, religions Is the foundation of
tho Russian romance, "The Death of the
Oods." It ts the work of n Ilus3lai. novelist,
Dimltrl Merejkowskl. and has heen rendered
In English by Herbert Trench. It Is a
startling utory. without regular plot, n pic
ture of the times of Klnvlus Valerius Aure
ltus Constantino the men who saw the sign
of the croE'j in the heavens, and of his two
nephews. Julian and GnTlus. The period em
braced lu tho romance1 begins A. D. 290, and
concludes In 337, with the death of Julian.
Onco more the question of the emperor's
goodness and sincerity will be brought Into
question. As the author presents hln he
was a wholesale murderer who madd way
with his brother and confined hlu ncpherc
and did many other things that cannot be
admired In one of such large pretences.
Julian was the untt-clirlM, the old rcver
unco for the Oreel; gods running In his
veins. No sooner docs he nnd himself
seated on the throne than he proceeds hy
Imperial edict to do all In his power to
throttle Christianity. Sar.a of the scc,nc8
arc depicted In u masterly fashion, as for
example that of the contest between the
different sects of Christians In the presence
of Julian. The author ccrtninly must have
a most Intimate acquaintance with the life
and customi of the ancients. All conceiv
able topics of antiquity arc presented. Here
are lofty personages, the orators, tho cbru
Ists, the poets, the court sycophants, tho
stern Roman commnnders of the legions,
and with 'them tho priests. Christian or
pagan, and the lower herd, the flshorwomcn,
the gladiators, tho gamblers, tho merchants,
the tllthy ascetics, the perfumed voluptu
aries, the abjectly superstitious, all find
their appropriate places. The romance as a
whole has merit that will not be dls
puted nnd the translator has accomplished
what must havo bom n most difficult task
In n scholarly fashion. . a. P. Putnam's
