THE OMAHA DAILY BEEt FRIDAY, MAY 1!)02. MAY HOVE FROM TINS C1T Cringe of Headquarters Recommended to Woodmen of the World. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL TO ACT IN MATTER Board of Managers that 4saaaa Bnlldln Be "old and Head, eaartera Moved to t. Loo la Kaaaaa City. There wii something of a actuation when th report of the board of manager to the executive council of the Woodmen of the World was aubmltted yesterday after Boon, and while there wss little discussion the recommendation being referred with out debate to the committee on resolu tion of the oouncll, there will be debate loud and interne when the committee make lu report. The recommendation of the board of managers covered many phase of the work, but the moat Interesting waa the recommendation that the building now owned by the order In Omaha be sold a oon as possible and the board be empow ered to remove the headquarters of the order to Kanaaa City or fit. Louie. The Woodmen of the World ha a pe culiar form of government. The sovereign camp meets once in two years and In alternate years the executive council meets. Once in two months the sovereign com mander calls to headquarters three mem bers of tho board of managers, which has advlro, powers. The present executive council is composed of Sovereign Com mander J. C. Root, Sovereign Clerk John T. Yates, Sovereign Advisor P. A. Falken burg of Denver; Sovereign Banker Morris Eheppard of Texas; Sovereign Sentluel B. W. Jewell of Iowa; Sovereign W. T. Slmrall of Mlsdsstppi, and Sovereign Watchman D. E. Bradebaw of Arkansas. The board of managers Is composed of A. C. Fine of Virginia, W. A. Fraser of Texas, H. H. Scott of Pennsylvania, J. E. Fitzgerald of Missouri, N. B. Maxey of the Indian Terri tory, C. K. Irwin of Wisconsin, and C. C. Farmer of Illinois. Three Managers Art. At the meeting of the board of managers which adopted the resolution calling for the sale of the Omaha property there were present members Fine, Fraser and Scott, and they all voted in favor Of the plan, giving as their reason that while the order apends thousands of dollars annually In the city the people do not teclprocate, and s proof of their claim they said that many of the towns of the country much smaller than Omaha had more members in the order and that the aociety waa given more attention by press and public. The recom mendation of the board will not become effective unless adopted by the executive council and opinion In that body Is divided. The sovereign commander and the sover eign clerk, with some of the other mem bers of the council, are in favor of holding the building as an asset of the emergency fund and placing its returns in that fund. Borne of these desire to erect a lodge bulldlna lu this city, while some are In favor of adopting the report of the board of managers. As the members of the tvoard of managers are also members of the executive council there will not be wanting support for the recommendation. The council yesterday afternoon sepa rated Mississippi from. Jurisdiction F and placed it in a separate Jurisdiction to be known as Jurisdiction M. This was done as the stats ha now 10,000 members, which entitles it to be a separate Jurisdiction. The change is simply political and has no bearing upon the beneficiary fund. j DIETZ TALKS OF sfT PIERRE Omabaa Gives Ills Observations at the Island of Mar. tlnlo.ae. C. N. Diets, who has made several visits to the Island of Martinique, made some In teresting statements regarding the condi tions existing there with reference not only to the topography of the country, but also to the people. "It must be remembered," eatd Mr. Diets, that there is a vast difference between a eountry In which French Influence predom inates and ons In which Spanish customs and traditions prevail. I have read state ments made by a New York paper reflect ing in serious terms upon the people of Martinique. My observations do not egrc with criticisms of that character. Of course the people of tropical and semi tropical countries differ in many respects from thoss with which our people are gen erally familiar, but, making reasonable al lowances, the people of Martinique attract one's attention because of their cleanliness, tbelr Industry, their neatness of habit, their Urbanity and the exceeding novelty of the environment which Impart color and char acter to their activities. St. Pierre is I must correct myself by saying, with feel ings of melancholy, was a beautiful city Ituated a few miles from what ha proven to be the terrible mount Pelee. A moun tain stream ran through the town, the water clear a crystal. Mount Pelee la about 4,600 feet high and the configuration f the slope toward Trinity bay, on which ft. Pierre Is located, formed a natural course for the flow of leva. The flow of lava could not have taken any other course than over 8L Flerre and. Judging from re ports. It is not surprising that utter deso lation exists where nature manifested her self In her moat attractive forms. "Of course. It Is well known," continued Mr. Diets, "that tb chain of islands form ing tbs eastern limits or the Caribbean are really the tops of mountain peaks, all of Long Hair -JjfcSv for Sale!

It is gratifying to one's national pride that the United States government has so promptly and generously extending a helping hand to the suffering people of the now unhappy Island of Martinique and that President Roosevelt has afforded ihe American people an op portunity to Individually manifest the sym pathy that Is characteristic of the greatest, most generous and chivalrous nation In the world."

According to the statement of the Board of Health the epidemic of smallpox which has been worrying It during the peat month has disappeared about at suddenly as it came and the emergency hospital is now practically without inmates. Howsver, there la more or less ot an epidemic of other diseases. Sanitary Inspector Frank Jones ald Wednesday evening: "The smallpox seems to have left us, and I believe that we have It stamped out of the city permanently. The hearty co-operation of the citizens In general helped to stop the epresd. "During previous years too little atten tion was paid to the sanitary condition of street and alley and even the back yard of residence. It 1 urprlslng. even now, sfter all the trouble we have had with contagious diseases, bow many families have to be reminded by the health depart ment before they will put their yard in a healthful condition. But there 1 a de cided improvement In the etreets and al leys, and the refuse which at one time found its way to both of these Is now dumped st some more suitable spot. "Measles, whooping cough, diphtheria and scarlet fever are the only diseases which are occupying our attention, at present, and while there la considerable of each In the city I do not believe It Is any more than we tan reasonably expect. However, the same precautions are being observed with these as was done with the smallpox, end after a limited run the city will prob ably be free from all."

Beard "Medttatloae of aa Aa tostrnph Collector" Jnet Pub lished by Harpers. Have we done our duty In Cubs? Has the American occupation of the Island Justified Itself, or have events In the last three years shown the change from Span ish possession to American trusteeship to have been, at best, but the substitution ot a slightly Ires noxious type of administra tive Incompetency These question, and the questions of fact which they involve, muBt be of deep interest to every Intelli gent watcher of the new century's histor ical development. In "Uncle Sam, Trus tee." John Kendrick Bangs present uU view on thl subject. It Is a timely book as the official transfer of the Cuban gov ernment to the Cubans by the United States Is to be made about May 20. The bcok Is the outcome of Mr. Bang's observa tions during a visit to Cuba as a commis sioner for Harper' Weekly. The scope of the book Is to prove that our army of occupation under General Wood haa not made a record of blunders. The book Is well Illustrated from photographs taken In Cuba, texts and Illustrations co-operating to enforce the contrast between Cuba past and Cuba present. Published by Riggs Publishing Co. If the price of meat continues to ad vance the probabilities are that the new vegetarian cook book by Sidney H. Beard will have a ready sale. The book Is en titled "A Comprehensive Guide Book to Natural. Hygienic and Humane Diet." The book will prove especially useful during the summer season, when vegetables and fruits are In season and are largely In favor. Many persona would be glad to escape a flesh diet If provided with ade quate substitutes. To supply these Is the aim of this book, which gives practical, reliable Information in concise form, avoiding superfluous matter and "fadlsm," and supplying only such recipes as are not so elaborate as to require the skill of a French chef for their interpretation. Many hygienic hints are included the pur pose ot the whole work being to stimulate the growth of the higher self. Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., publishers. In September of last year the Dart mouth college celebrated the centennial of the graduation of Daniel Webster, at which time Samuel W. McCall delivered an address termed the "Webster Centen nial Oration." The address has been pub lished In book form by Houghton. Mifflin & Co., under the title "Daniel Webster." Mr. McCall, who has won national atten tion by bis reasonable Independence and rrarked ability In congress, snd who wrote the strong and discriminating "Life of Thaddcus Stevens" for the American Statesmen Series, hero recounts with brev ity and point the chief Incidents In Web ster's career and his more Important services to bis country. Without under taking an crhrustlve survey ot Webster's life, he presents with great clearness and directness and with a very Just apprecia tion those characteristics and achievements which were most distinctive, and which best entitle him to the admiring memorv of the American people. "The Meditations of An Autograph Col lector" is f. new and original book by Adrian H.'Jollne. Autograph fiends, doubt lees, would thoroughly enjoy the author's account of his finds, his losse. his pleas ures and disappointments; but the general reader finds the book a treasure bouse of Information and anecdote, while the nu merous facsimile and other letters given are rarely good reading. There are letters from Queen Victoria In ber youth to Lord Melbourne, letters from Rus kin, Louts Napolian, Kipling, Robert Burns, Martin Van Buren, Wlnfleld Scott, Stephen Crane snd others. That the au thor Is a thorough autograph lover may be Judged from his preface, which), reads: "It is a pleasant thing to sit here," he says, "this rainy afternoon, with the books and the 'collection' close at hand. I have cer tainly been arranging that collection for ten years, and It Is not arranged yet It Is an amiable folly." Published by Har per Brothers. O. P. Putnam's Sons have published a very valuable and Interesting book to the lover of flowers entitled "Fleldbook ot American Wild Flowers." It is compiled by F. Schuyler Mathews. It contains short descriptions of tbelr character and habits, a concise definition of their colons and In cidental references to the insects which assist in their fertilization. It Is a timely book, probably more so now than ever, be cause of the popularity the wild flower is gaining. The author says: "This is a field book of wild flowers; It originated in the fields) and It is intended to go back there. I trust, In the hand of its good reader. Of course, not all of It was written on sunny meadow and in shady mood, nor were all of Its Illustrations made at ones from specimens gathered during various botan ical rambles; but, in the truest sense ot the word, nearly all of the book lot a direct result of field work, ranging from New Hampshire to Virginia." In "Deep-Sea Plunderlngs," by Frank T. Bullen, author of "Ths Cruise of the Cach olat" and other successful sea stories, has Just brought out another volume of salt water yarns. Mr. Bullen affords In these page a series of brilliant and often dra matic pictures of the sailor's life and ad ventures. While the picturesque enters Into his bock, he deals also with the stern verities of fo'c'sle life, and be brings be fore the reader strange and bewildering phases of deep-wster sdventurlng which will lay firm hold upon the Imagination. There is not only the freshness and vigor of the sea in this book, but also Its grsndeur snd gloom. Its uncertainty and Its remorselessness. The thrilling experience thst the unknown enllor faces as a mere Incident ot bis dally life, and the hardships be encounters, ore pictured with the vivid ness and Insight that Frank Bullen always realizes so forcibly and Inevitably In his brilliant pages. It Is published by D. Ap pleton A Company. "Herald ot Empire," by A. C.

It is sup posed to be told by "one Ramsey Stanhope, lieutenant to Pierre R ad Is son In the north ern fur trade." Beginning with some tsle of witchcraft In Boxton Town, from ths Im prisonment for which the sforesald Ramsey Stanhope rescues ths heroine, the scsns of the story ts transferred to the great white wilderness of the north, where some hair raising episodes sre recounted of Indian maaencrrs, duels In ths darkness with un known foes, csnoelng among Ice floes and various other exciting incidents.
