Dr. Cuyler Is the only one living of the (eat Brooklyn pastors who In the last half of the nineteenth cen tury were famous throughout the world Aa a preacher, paitor and author his ac tive life has brought htm In contact with the most famous personages at home and abroad. His early life, his travels, his associations with the great writers, states men, temperance workers, revivalists and soldiers and hla anecdotes of these men make It an exceptionally Interesting book. Probably the chapter on "Great Britain Sixty Years Ago" and the meeting with great authors and statesmen of that age Is one of the best. In fart, we read of interviowa with all the great men in his time. But the book Is by no means all in terview's. There Is the story of hla boy hood la Aurora, N. Y., and of his college and of the sturdy Christian Influences both at home and at college - which led him aurely to the ministry of Christ. And then the chapters on "Pastoral Work" and two "Retrospects," which deal with the changes which have come about during his life, and another on "Home Life," constant references devoted to his family, his pas torates and the Lafayette church, which he built round out the etory. The doctor's many friends and admirers will not be disappointed In this book. Published by Baker 4 Taylor. "The Admiral's Aid'" is a new story of life In the new navy, by Chaplain H. H. Clark of the United States navy. In this favorite author's two earlier books we learned somewhat of the old navy.

But the hope of the new navy Is built upon the same qualities that have distinguished officers and men from Ha beginning.

It is an Interesting book both for old and young. Published by Lothrop Publishing company. "Remember Days" la the excellent book by James B. Kenyon. The adventures of the outing on an Adirondack trout book are well worth reading. As their first resting place It gave them "not an unpleas ant feeling to discover, at an angle of the treama the oozy bed of a bear where tho bracken bad been broken down and molded to hla ursine majesty's burly form." At one time the Professor was . lost and "traveled In a circle for many a rugged mile" with the result that "thereafter the masculine members of oar party carried call for help when lost. When an un expected squall drove the party to shelter the poet was easily reconciled. He wrote (after ha returned home,, of course.) "Is it not the highest philosophy of life to make tba best of things aa they are, when it la mahlfestlylmposslble to change them? This la to compass the element of victory la every defeat. It Is to become the master where one had looked to behold the alave. It la' to. .mount to the crest of the wave when othera are submerged beneath It.

The imperial sec retary of stste for tho interior. Count Fosedowskl-Wehner, enunciated to the Reichstag tariff committee today more sharply than ever before the government's determination not to accept the bill as amended at the first reading and the com mittee Immediately revoted the meat and animal duties to the same rate as at the first reading, to which Count von Posadow-skl-Wehner hsd particularly objected. Herr Herold. the centrist leader, claimed that without these duties the centrists would not support the Mil and one by one the centrists, snd portions of the national liberals, sustained Herr Herold's position. Count Posadowskl-Wehncr msde a confi dential statement, representing the govern ment's reason for rejecting the 'minimum scale of duties on animals and meats. These reasons are understood to be in connection with the negotiation of the new Commercial treaties. Upon a member In quiring how much the communication was confidential the secretary replied thst the government wanted to know openly that all the federated states were opposed to the animal schedule as . amended. He. also dwelt on the Importance of continuing the commercial treaty policy. Count vou Kanlti. one of the agrarian leaders, here Interjected that the tariff bill "Is the main thing In making treaties, but secondary ao far as the agricultural classes are concerned, for they have no Interest whatever In- treaties like those now existing." The conservative papers adopt a pessi mistic tone regarding the bill's prospects. The Kreuee Zeltung says the outlook could not b. more gloomy. The town council of Frankfort-on-the- Main has adopted a resolution asking the Reichstag to revoke the problhttlon against the importation of American canned meata and sausages.

COMPLAINT ABOUT COLO SCHOOL ROOMS Several Cases of Pneniuonla Are Said to Have Been Caused by Absence of Heat In Pnblle Schools. Bat ring the special meeting called for the purpose of considering the project of establishing a new process tannery in South Omaha, there has not been a meet ing of the Commercial club for so long that the exact date seems to be forgotten. fact, the present South Omaha Com mercial club seems to have suddenly aban doned all the schemes which It had afloat and la no longer holding meetings or oth erwise Interesting Itself with the affairs of the city. It seems extremely doubtful whether the Commercial club will be In existence this winter. Since the time of the organisa tion of the present hosrd there hs heen but one or two meetings. Many of the for mer Influential members of the club state that so little Interest ws displayed In the organization by the taxpayer, of the cj,ty. nd that It was so hard to get together a necessary quorum to talk over the needs of the city, that the promoter, of the club ave grown more or less disheartened and want some one else to attempt to boom the move. An interview was sought from Secretary . M. Christie yesterday afternoon In re gard to the doings of the club, but Mr. Christie's mind seemed to be centered on the condition of the weather and other topics quite foreign to matters pertaining to the club and lta existence. He stated that he did not care to be Interviewed, and expressed a surprising amount of Ig norance as to Just what the club proposed to do. The proposition some time ago advanced to combine the Commercial club organiza tion with the different Improvement clubs of the city may yet be carried out, as It seems a foregone conclusion that the Com mercial club Intends to do little or noth- ng during the coming winter months. Demand Better Heat. The complaint now going on over the fact that there la ao little effort being made to heat the different school rooms of the city seems to grow day by day. The cause of the Increase of protests against the un comfortable condition of the schools Is the fact that within the past week three cases of pneumonia have been reported among school children, and the attending physi cians state there Is little room for doubt that the trouble started In the damp, cold school rooms. The Board of Education statea that It will hold a meeting to look Into this matter and other troubles In the schools. Merger Has Not Appeared. There Is but little or no change apparent at the packing houses. The work that haa been kept up for some time to Invoice the stocks on hand Is being leisurely completed, but the same old systems, both aa to office and outside work, still prevail. The offi cials of the different plants still claim that they are wholly unaware of any contem plated change on the part of the packing house management. It waa atated yester day, however, that the Invoice being taken would be completed by the end of th. present week. Will Move Obstruction. It waa stated last evening that the Jetter building, which has been In the middle of th. atreet at Twenty-fifth and N streets for a couple of months, while the new building was being erected on the corner, would be removed within a few days at the most. The new building Is now about completed and materially improves the ap pearanc. of the corner. Troop Will Participate. Notwithstanding the change In arrange ment on acount of the Illness of President Roosevelt the South Omaha cavalry troop, will participate' In th. coming festivities In Omaha. The plan was for ths troop to msrch In the parade on Saturday night, but sine, thoss arrangementa have been changed, the South Omaha boy. will be in the afternoon parade on Wednesday, Oc tober 1. It la said the entire troop will be present. Special Coaaell Meeting. It Is said that a call will be Issued some time this week for a apeclal meeting of the city council. The ststuts provides that certain election officers shall be appointed by the council during the month of Sep tember and aa the next regular meeting of the council doe. not com. until October (. it necessitates a special meeting for that purpose. In all probability the call will rectte no further business to be ac compllshed at auch meeting. Streets la Better Shape. The atreet gang is rapidly filling up all of the excavations caused bt the recent rains. On some of the unpsved streets there existed soms very bad defects, but these have nearly all been repaired. Extra precautlona are being taken to prevent dam age claims arising from these conditions, and the police are instructed to Immediately report any defecU found in either sidewalks or streets.

TOO MUCH TALK AND TOO LITTLE ACTION Vice President Conlon Says that It Agitator Were Really In Ear nest They (onld Find Work In Omaha. Local labor leaders, among them leaders of the Union Pacific strike, who have been Importuned to attend the convention of the Eight-Hour league at Minneapolis, give the reason for not being at this meeting or sending a delegate In these terms: "We have no faith In the sincerity of this move ment and do not care to affiliate with It In any way until we know more about ltv" This statement was voiced by P. J. Conlon, first vice president of the International As sociation of Machinists. Tho Eight-Hour league's convention waa advertised quite extensively aa a coming together of emloyer and employe of vari ous Indtts'.rlsl stations to discuss different phases of the labor question, primarily the eight-hour proposition, from mutual stand points. Among the men active In th. con vention are Archbishop Ireland and a num ber of prominent business men. Continuing hla statement, Conlon aald: "This looks like a piece of political Job bery to me. I have no more faith in the so-called Eight-Hour league than I have In the Civic Federation of America, which waa boomed with auch persistency eotne months ago. if the men who are back of these movements really want to help or ganised labor In Its differences .with Its em ployers wa are . ready id eo-operate with them and work faithfully, but we must be shown first that they are In earnest. So far nothing haa com. of the Minneapolis convention but talk, so far aa I can aee. If they are looking for a aubject of opera tion, which we were led to believe they were, they can find a good one right here in tbla Union Pacific strike, and we would accord them a hearty welcome In ' under taking anything calculated to bring about a settlement of these difficulties. "These leagues and federations make too much ado over 'bringing employer and em ploye together. If all their energies were actually concentrated In this direction and they really meant business they would find It but a email task to accomplish their object. But after pit the talk Indulged in by the Civic Federation over restoring peace in the coal mine regions in Pennsyl vania the strike Is still in progress and presents a more serious aspect than ever." The atrlker. are somewhat resting on their laurels now, waiting for tba outr come of the hearing on the Injunction In the federal court.
