AGE IS TOO COMMERCIAL Ufa lark Minister Irearhr ftersnaa Aralaat Tr4nrr of Taaaar Men ta Make I osnsataaioas. County Commissioner Jam P. Connolly was before tfct political and social science department of lb Womin'i club yester day with a new anit of rlotbes, a flower In hla buttonhole, aa emergency atock of Addlsonisn Enrlish and a repcrt of come of the work done bv the fount y for the poor. It war the Brut sdflress Mr. Con nolly baa made since hia campaign dosed a year ago and waa aloes a line oiber than political. It brim If a with statistics, for ha la chairman of the commissioners' rhir Ity committee and be wants the valuable aid be belieree the M'cmini club can give In relieving the Inevitable winter distress am one the very poor. "Thoae women, I long ago discovered, have rery practical ideas and methods," aald the commissioner, at be busied himself with the compilation of tabled reports yes terdsy, "and their co-operation would materially assist th!s board !n a great many raaea. I ball recommend la my la'k thia afternoon that they aend a representa tion to the conference of charities here after, for they are entitled to considers-' tlon among the agencies wtrklng along that Una. "And then thera la another recornmenla tlon that I hope to make and to explain aa delicately a the facta will permit. It la that they concern thrmrelve with aome rase where the destitution of the famillea la encouraging the dissolution of the young girls who are members of them. I don't Vnow that such mork la among the aiated objects of the Womu'i club, but it cer tainly la a woman's field, for we of the board bare discovered that any inquiries or suggestions that we men attempt to make are either resented aa insulting or elae are embarrassingly misunderstood. Yoaaar Girls la Da Barer. We have encountered one case whera a drunken father and a mother, made In different by long abuae, are living In a bar and permitting their 12-year-old daughter to contribute to the family main tenance by carrying beer and running other errands for a Chinese laundry, the ex planation for falling to secure her em ployment elsewhere being that abc haa never bad any schooling and sow has no clothing fit for wear In a store or shop. We cannot reach that falher'a sensibilities exoept, perhaps, with a club, wbirh the law forbid but the mother might be made to realise something of her responsibility If another mother talked to her. "Aa even worse case we encountered In a dissolute part of town when the county storekeeper went to a dilapidated flat to In veailgate the circumstances of a woman who had appealed for aid. He found that the woman la living a life of ahame and keeping with her, In their one apartment, girl 7 years old and a boy . Some wo manly assistance In a caae of thia nature would help the beard members to solvs a rather knotty question, for undoubtedly tha children are without even the plainest comfcrts of life. Rightly started, all could be self-supporting." Statistics sta Coaaty Warau Of the charity work of the year Com missioner. Conpolly submitted a. report that Included tables showing the ex tent ta which the needy have been aided by the county. A feature cf thia state ment was tht record that on April SI last there were 1,058 families requiring cither total maintenance or some assistance by the county. That number waa ths high mark, aa, strangely enough, the num ber of needy bad been increasing ever since March 1, when these were only a few mors than 900. With the opening of May avenues of employment the number rapidly decreased again. As an example of what Is required in tba maintenance of the poor. Commissioner Connolly showed the report of disburse ments by the county storekeeper for the single day of March I laat. when thirty ' eight families were supplied with 900 pounds of flour, 15S pounds of sugar, 41 pounds of coffee. II pounda of tea, 160 pounda of beans, 40 pounds of rice, 71 pounda of oatmeal. 195 pounda of corn meal. 1M pounda of aalt pork, SO bars of oap, 17 pounds of salt and 12 tons of coal.

Percy Stlckney Grant of the Church of the Ascension haa characterised tipping as a species of evil. After alluding to the official bribery that prevalla in the Orient. Mr. Grant repeated the story of the recent disclosures in St. Louis and said conditions there and la msny other cities were only ths earliest phase of what New Tork passed twenty or thirty yearn ago. "It would sceni." he aald, "that the older and decaying nations have not a monopoly of tbe civil social vice. The same thing cperates also in business and a young man in bualness finds frequently that he can receive money If he will lend hla influ ence or good name or act in a certain way, and many seem to expect something beyond their salaries. "We smile and charge up surh thing to foreign waya or a heathen religion," he said, "but whom ahail we charge It un to that young men in bualness are not content with the salaries they get, and will take commissions and gifts in a business way from anybody? What Is the state of mind that can sUow it? Can It be absolutely Just aud h'onest to the interest of tbe employer? No. The chief Interest is one's own pc.ket, and what wonder that defalca tion, tirbextlement and thievery take place." He said servants in hotels and restau rants expected tbe tips and Judged and served the patrons according to tbe tips they got. "It is all simply bribery," be exclaimed, "and a part of the maelstrom of money getting and spending.

SHERIDAN TO BE HEADQUARTERS POINT J. R. Pfcclaa ta Rentals as laserlatea. eat at AUlaac aai E. Gillette ta Take (large at fw Sherldaa Dlvlslaa. An order bas been Issued from the bead quarters of tbe B. M. railroad which will cause tbe creation of a new di vision. The order, which will become effective December 1. 1&02. will divide tbe present Wyoming 4j vision at Newcastle, Wyo. The main line and brancbea east of that point; formerly Included in the Wyo ming division, will be known as tbe Alli ance division and all lines west of that point will be known as the Bheridan di vision. At present the B. M. road is divided. Into four divisions the North ern, Southern. Western and Wyoming. The Wyoming division, which heretofore ex tended from Ravenna, Neb., to Billings, Mont., was originally looked upon aa a branch line which ran through an unpleas ant country of sanahilla and wilderness. Bmee its establishment, however, the coun try has made such rapid progress that with tbe addition of new trains to tbe coast over thst route It became tbs main line of the Burlington, overshadowing the Omaha-Denver line. Tbe new order will make two Important changes among the officials. J. R. Fhelan, who has been superintendent of the Wyom ing division, now becomes superintendent of ths Alliance division. This means that the territory under his control will be cut about in half. Tbe headquarters for hla division will remain st Alliance and owing to the increased business tbe office force there will not be materially changed. . The order also promotes E. Gillette, formerly assistant superintendent of Wyoming divi sion, ta superintendent of the Sheridan division and makes him sn equal with hit former superintendent, Ir. Phelan. Mr. Gillette bas the reocrd of being a first class operating m'.n and haa been with the road for twelve years. The order will also create division headquarters st Sheri dan, Wyo. One result of this order will be to plaoe the two rew territories which the Burling ton is now taking great pains to boom each in a sepr.rate division. The new branch running from Toluca into tbe Big Horn basin will be in the Sheridan division and the Guernsey territory will be under tbe control o! the Alliance office. The Alliance divts.on wilt take in the Black Hills branch rind will extend aa far south aa the old bot.ndartes of the Wyoming fllvl aion. which Includea Sterling, Colo., and the Cheyennt branch.

It is expected thst the contents ot the building will be a total loss. The smoke poured Into the fists above the store and awoke ths occupanta. By tbe time an alarm was turned in the goods on the ground floor were all ablaze and it looked as It the block might be burned. Very soon after the first alarm was sent in Chief Etter and three boss companies responded, and it was only by bard work and plenty of water that the building was ssved from being dsmsged to any great extent.

While Mr. Priesman seems to think thst his stock is a total loss insurance men who looked Into the storeroom incline ta tbe opinion that there will be considerable salvage. Chief Etter had to fight the fire from the rear of tbs building and the fact that the Are was not permitted to spread shows ex cellent work on the part of the South Omaha fire department, Tbs chief says thst from an Investigation the fire probably started In tbe office on the tiortbeastern part of tbe store.

Not slone did the parties desire to stop tbe emptying of the sewer into tbs creek at tbs inter section of N and Twentieth street, but damages, amounting to many thousands of dollars, were asked as well. A temporary Injunction was asked against the city, but this the court refused to grant without a hearing. A day was set when all parties should appear In court, but when tbe day came, tbe attorneys were not quite ready, so another adjournment was taken. Then a number of affidavits from people professing to know all about ewer matters were banded to the court. and the case waa taken tinder advisement, Thore it has rested up until the time Mr. Murdock called bp for hearing ths demurrer to the different petitions.
