'"Recollection of a Long Life" U an
lnterestlnr autobiography by Rev. Theo
dora L. Cuyler. 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. In this
atory it Is the new navy, with all of Its
progress and development, which engages
our attention. But the hope of the new
navy Is built upon the same qualities that
have distinguished officers and men from
Ha beginning. David Stockton, the hero,
la the son of wealthy parents, who at first
oppose his Joining the navy, but finally
accede to his desires. The hero is a model

the signalling. It is not without Its love
tale and we And him coming out best man

Interesting book both for old and young.

"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

Thousands of pleasure seekers from Ne
braska and other states will flock to Omaha
to attend the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival during

curtain Is rung down on the carnival of 1902
the following Saturday ulght they are by
no means "quitters" and will come prepared
to stay until the lights are out.
The arrangements for the Black Hills
excursion were made at a time when It
was expected that President Roosevelt
would be In Omaha Saturday night, and
since the abandonment of the president's
trip It has been thought that the South
Dakota men might postpone their visit
until next week. However, they have
decided to carry out their original plans,
president or no president, and a telegram
was received from them yesterday to
that effect. Another telegram to General
Passenger Agent Francis of the Burling
ton calls for another Pullman car. In addi
tion to the number previously arranged for,
this indicating that the party will be larger
than at first expected.

composed of D. J. O'Brien, Fred Paffen
rath, Arthur Meti, John C. Drexel, Albert
Cahn and Frank Dunlop will meet the
Black Hills people at Seward and hand
them the keys to Oinaha and several other
things. Arriving in this city at 1 o'clock,
the party will be escorted to the . Elks
club rooms, wbero lunch will be served and
the band will play.
A program of special carnival features for
the delight and edification of the Black
Hills visitors In particular has been ar
ranged, with some of the highest salaried
people ever engaged for the vaudeville stage

DEADLOCK OVER TARIFF BILL

Relckala..
BERLIN, Sept. 25. The government and
the Reichstag majority have reached a
deadlock on the tsrlff. 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.

that so little Interest ws displayed In the

of the city, that the promoter, of the club
ave grown more or less disheartened and

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.

eral W. A. Kobb, commanding th. Depart

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. They rather, look for
aucceas. ,
