Ancient 1 Jests and time-worn themes are paraded ' forth In garments gaudy enough ta almost suggest novelty, were it not that each old favorite Tecmlra to the hearer assoetatlona and events of bygone yeara, and thus on ' Reminiscence floats the quip, aa evanescent ' wanderer, from the past Into a future whose uncertainty Is robbed of some of its terrors j becauaa the observant one knows reasonably well what is coming next. But in the back ground and the accessories exists some oc casion for delight. It ia comforting to see venerable, if not honored, old age sur rounded by what suggests the usufruct of a life of thrift and prosperity. Thus It Is that negro minstrelsy, which had ita birth in a Bowery billiard room aome fifty-odd yeara ago. Is now furnished with all that scene painter and stage mechanic can do to give it rich Investiture and afford the eye en chantment, while the ear is alternately rav ished by sweet sounds or bombarded by hoary witticisms.

' The attention of the city officials wss called yesterday to the condition of the Q street viaduct by a letter from C. A. Pratt, chief engineer of the Armour plant In this city. Mr. Plstt declsres that the middle and west end wooden spans of the Q street visduct are In a dangerous condition. He further says that the street car tracks are uneven and that motor trains often run over this portion of the bridge at nearly full speed. "This speed," says Mr. Pratt, "brings a tremendous strain upon the wooden spans, which are partially rotted away." Some time ago the attention of tbe city authorities was called to the condition of the viaduct by the newspapers, and It waa aaserted at tbe time that tbe railroads would be aaked to make Immediate repalra. Matters ran along for a month or ao and then it waa given out by the railroads that material had been ordered for the repalra. W. S. King, chief engineer of the Vnlon Stock Tarda company, was authority for this ststement. He said the material had to come from Oregon and be could not aay Just when it would arrive. In addition to the complaint of Engineer Pratt about the condition of tbe bridge he saya that the street car tracks are uneven and thus endanger tbe lives of those cross ing in crowded cars. In looking up the city records it was found that the bridge was never meant fcr street car traffic at the ttm It was en acted. When tbe people In the southwest ern part of the city wanted a street car line they were willing to give up every thing, so it seems. In order to get the line through. One of the old Third ward rep resentatives in the council at tbat time, J. J. Ryan, secured the passage of an or dinance declaring the street csr company exempt from all repairs for a long term of yeara providing tbe line waa extended. Since that time the new charter has been In effect and a decision f tbe supreme court haa been handed down declaring it the duty of railroads to keep the viaducts In repair, etc. Now tbe great trouble aeems to be about the laying of tracks on tbe Q street viaduct. Engineers consulted yesterday assert that if the railroad companies would repair the bridge properly the street car company ahould be compelled to lay Its tracks on a level withy the roadway and not have them from three to six inches above the planks used by teams. "This." said an engineer who looked over the ground with a Bee re porter, "could be averted by the laying of a double floor. The street csr company uses a T rail, and if a double Boor was laid, which ahould be done, the rails would not project above the flooring, providing tbe company waa compelled to lay a floor ing between the tracks." It was asserted by city officials laat night that unleas improvements on the viaduct commence soon the structure will be closed to traffic. City Firemeni Daavee. At the the troop armory ball last night the members of the paid fire department of South Omaha gave their thirteenth an nual ball. There was a large attendance, the hall being crowded from the time of the opening dance until the orchestra played "Home, Eweet Home." All of the members of the department appeared In uniform and presented a fine appearance. Arrangements were made by Chief Etter tbat In case of a tiro an alarm should be sent direct to the hall by private wire and the boss companlea were in shape to respond immediately. In honor of the occasion the hall was decorated with flags and potted plants and the music was excellent. The net proceeds of the ball will be turned Into the Fire men's Relief association. Hard Coal Arrives. Several cars of anthracite coal arrived here yesterday. It was all of the range size and eastern dealers write here that there Is no prospect of getting chestnut coal west of the river before February 1. It appears tbat range coal la aU that la being ahlpped now. In many cases this will prove a hardship to South Omaha con sumers of anthracite, as cheatnut also Is generally desired. The range coal now on the market Is selling at 114 a ton. Mania Fwaeral Bcrvleea. Yesterday afternoon at the First Meth odist Episcopal church. Twenty-third and N streets. Rev. M. A.
