The for mer was the year I!M)2 and the latter was the year 100.1. - Nineteen Hundred and Three proved a very healthy cherub, aa full of promise as a circus poster and at cordial as a candi date. He brought with him a schedule of prospects printed In the superlative de trren and Italic capital letters. Last night lie gave out aa Interview, In which he said: ''You may tell the" folks for me that I am here to do business, and that I like the way things are opening up. When I got In this morning I found a lot of people sitting up for me. Including some of the younger fry whose mothers, no doubt, were sitting up for them. Somebody blew a whistle and that started all kinds of racket. For a while I didn't know but It was the Fourth of July, the Day of Judgment. or the hour Of the Auditorium's completion. "When I found out It was all for me I took right hold and helped out what I could. I went to a dozen watch parties on the highlands, the lowlands and the bad lands before" morning. During the forenoon I grew religious and spent a while at the Episcopal churches. In the afternoon I curled with one club, shot with another, went to two shows and so many house functions I lost count. This evening I was received by the Young Women's Christian association, the Young Men's Christian as sociation and the Woman's Relief corps. I danced with the best looking girls at the High School Cadet officers' ball at the Metropolitan club and slipped In for a few minutes at several house dances. Oat for DuslnFDH. "Certainly I started off with plenty of pleasure, but today I propose to settle down to business. There Is much ahead of me. Just how much, heaven, the city council, the county commissioners, the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, the editors and th preachers only know! I learned before I came that my predecessor did well, but It's part of my business to outdo him. In some ways he was a back number, with old-fanbloncd Ideas, and I hall have to do a little shaking up. . "One of his mistakes was to mix up the weather the way he did. My, but It was a clumsy Job! You observe that I start off with clear skies, clear air and decently warm. I may grow a little ch'llly later on, but I shall not keep It up longer than necessary, and what precipitation Is needed I shall precipitate In time for the farmers to know what to do about the crops.

Former Officers of the Cadet Corps Entertain at Metropolitan Club. The former officers of the Omaha High School Cadets entertained at a dance last eventng at the Metropolitan club building. This affair was the ninth of the annual cadet dances. . Originally it was given by the Cadet Officers' club of the high school and easily took first place on the year' aoclal calendar of the school. At that time It was made distinctly a military event; dress uniforms, stacked rifles and armed guards on patrol being made the order of the evening. The only hint of the military la last night's dance was two Urge Amer ican flags draped effectively In the hall way. The change has been brought about by a recent order Issued at the high school which states that dancing Is a pleasure not com patible with good student life and not to be Indulged In by the pupils of the Capitol hill Institution. , Tho' cadet hop la tho only so cial affair which has survived this order, and this is now being kept alive by tho alumni of the school battalion. The programa of last e-enlng were hand somely embossed and bearing In the renter of the front cover the purple "C. O. C." monogram of the old Cadet Officers' club. Fully eighty couples enjeed the twenty four dances. The following committee Is BROUGHT!) LIGHT Omaha People Receiving tha Full Benefit. There have been many cases like the fol lowing In Omaha.

ROOMS. Cirest Throne Visits the Handsomely Decorated Headquarters. "A Happy New Year" was the sentiment that prevailed last night at the reception given annually on that occasion by the Young Men's Christian association. It was the greeting with which callers were met at the entrance; It breathed from the pro fuse holiday decorations; It beamed In the happy faces of all encountered there. And they were legion, for fully 2, BOO Omahans paid their respects during the evening. And yet there was no insufferable crush. The hours prescribed were from 7 o'clock till 10, and the spacious halls, parlors, re ception rooms and auditorium proved ca pable of easily accommodating the throngs that flooded them. Of the many beauties of the reception the decorations were the most conspicuous. Roses, evergreens and holly were every where. From the street entrance up the stairs one wended his way through a verit able greenery, and once within the recep tion halls the effect was heightened by the profusion. Two large rooms, ordinarily known as the reading and recreation rooms, were transformed for the occasion Into bowers bathed In brilliant light. In one corner of the first room , "purch" was served from behind dazxllng candelabra, while beyond tho Inner portals elaborate refreshments were dispensed from four tables, linen clad, candle lighted and flower bedecked. Music from a mandolin orchestra lent the last detail. To the left again In the parlor was the most unique feature of the affair. This was a calendar exhibition. The walls of the room were completely covered on all sides with hundreds of calendars for 1903, gathered from all parts of the country, and the ensemble formed a striking sight and en Interesting study. Those who stood In the receiving line were the officers and directors of the asso ciation, as follows: I. W. Carpenter, A. P. Tukey, J. A. Sunderland, Charles E. Morgan, J. H. Dumont, 8. P. Bostwick, W. 0. Henry, T. I. Sturglss, George W. Sum ner. H. U Krelder, S. W. Lindsay, J. M. Olllan. O. F. Bldwell. William O. Smith, Oeorge F. Gllmore. E. F. Magaret. D. A. Foote, C. O.

Webster, Edson Rich, William G. Smith, A. B. Somers and F. L. Willis. But there were other attractions. In the auditorium upstairs a musical program was given, commencing at 8 o'clock. This was In charge of Miss Corlnne Paulson, and opened with a harp solo by Miss Swanson. Miss Paulson followed with the piano rendi tion of Binding's "Rustle of Spring." Mrs. A. L. Sheets sang "Oh, Dry Those Tears," by Teresa del Rlego, and the last number before the Intermission was a "Nonde script," by E. H. Packard. Later, Mr. Charles C. Gorst gave a whistling solo. Miss Paulson played Moskowskl's "Spanish Caprice" and Mrs. Sheetz sang "In tbt Dark, In the Dew," by Coombs. The pro gram was keenly appreciated and every number was encored. In the gymnasium' was a third phase of the entertainment. Large crowds thronged Into the gallery and on the floor Itself to witness the stunts done by the gymnasts and athletes. The first event was a basket ball game. In which the young men's class team beat the business boys by 16 to 6. The next hour was devoted to gymnasium work, games and contests, such as high elephant, crab race, jnat work, long dive, parallel bar work and an obstacle race. The performances of Roland Finney at hand balancing and of the Finney brothers, Herley and Jennings, at tumbling were especially remarkable. Then followed another basket ball game, In which the business men defeated the professional men by 14 to I, amid much enthusiasm. A relay sack race, which the high school boys won from the night class team, a high Jump from springboard event and a tug-of-war concluded the gymnasium program. RECEPTION IS A Hid SUCCESS. Yoansr Women's Christian Association Receives Friends. Never since Its establishment Jn Omaha has the Young Women's Christian associa tion played so conspicuous a part socially as last evening, when Its rooms on the third floor of the Paxton block were thrown open for Its annual New Year's reception. The recent effort of the association to se cure a new building has brought to its aid the attention of some of the wealthier women of the city, who have not only given their financial support, but are extending tbelr social influence In Its behalf as well, anu ih success of last evening's reception was due In no small measure to tbelr pres ence and help.

BAXTER AND ESTELLE MAY BE RIVALS Withdraw from Conference for Pri vate Talk, Thought to Be Over In caanheacr of Criminal Bench Term Dates Annonnccd. The continued absence of Judge Jacob Fawcett, who has been away from his bench during the entire October term of court, but who waa relied upon to be here before this date, resulted yesterday In a postponement of the assignment of the dockets of the seven Judges of the Fourth Judicial district for the year 1903. Incl dentally. It developed what some have taken to be a rivalry between Judges Bax ter and Estelle for the criminal docket and Its prestige. The meeting held the Judges behind closed doors for nearly two hours and resulted only In the determination of the term dates, the adoption of an addi tional rule of practice and the announce ment that the assigning of the dockets will not be done until Judge Fawcett can be communicated with at his Oregon quar ters and his preference learned. Baste) and Estelle tleart-to-nrart. The meeting was In the office of Judge Baxter back of the criminal court room, with Judges Irving F. Bsxter, W. W. Sla baugh, Lee S. Estelle, Guy R. C. Read. George A. Day and Charles T. Dickinson present. After the session had been on about forty-five minutes Judge Baxter and Estelle emerged from the conference room and went Into a side apartment, where they were In earnest conversation for sev eral minutes. It was known last year that Judge Estelle desired the criminal docket, but this year he had taken an attitude of Indifference, whereas Judge Baxter was considered Openly receptive of the com pliment of a second term. What passed between tha two yesterday morning Is not known, but It Is believed that no agree ment was reached and that they returned to the conference room as far apart as ever. To Avoid a Possible Deadlock. Each has his friends and as the even number of Judges present would make It possible for a deadlock In the balloting, it Is assumed they decided to leave the matter until Judge Fawcctt'a preference can be ascertained, and then hold a second meet ing, probably tomorrow, at which one or the other would seem certain of a majority. When the conference ended It was given out that Judge Dlcklqson is to communi cate with Judge Fawcett by telegraph and that until an answer is received the dockets will not be assigned. When the Judges had told this much they closed up like clams and all sidled for the door, except Judge Baxter, who, as secretary of the meeting, had to remain and give out tha report of the routine proceedings. Term Dates, Salaries and a Kew Role. Terms of court in the various counties, It waa decldedshall open as follows: Doug las. February 2, May 4, October 6; Burt, March 2 and October 19; Washington, March 16 and November 9; Sarpy, March 23 and September 14. The eqilty Judges, Read, Day and Dickinson, are to taks the outside counties of the district, as here tofore. The deputy county attorneys were al lowed salaries of $100 per month, which also Is a following of precedent. The old rules of practice stand with ths addition of one to the effect that no ad ditional parties, plaintiff or defendant. shall be allowed to be added to a suit after such suit has been commenced without first obtaining leave of court so to do. This rule Is occasioned by the habit aome of the lawyers have acquired of adding names after the original filing. Such offenses have been particularly numerous in ths city tsx cases and result in confusing the Indexing of the records. Only last week Judge Read Issued the twenty-fifth decree In a caae In which only five parties were nsmed originally. Attorneys havs taken the course they have in order to avoid the parment of small filing fee, but this triv ial economy might result seriously in later years, ths Judges say. DEATH RECORD.'

When tlie Board of Klre and Police Com mlrsloners met yesterday afternoon It was found that there were two obstacles to tbo transaction of business. That time bad ben set for the bearing of evidence In the protests of I. J. Dunn against tho tssusnce of certain licenses, sbout seventy one in number, but when Mr. Dunn wss called upon to proceed with his cases It was found that he wsa not ready. , He explained that he had not learned inttl about 8:30 Wednesday evening of the hear ing being set for this day and therefore had not been able to have subpoenas served upon h's witnesses. Commissioner Spratlen was disposed to question Mr. Dunn's good faith In this pro ceeding, from tha fact that he had not filed his protests until the last day of the year, and Mr. Dunn said that the law permitted that he should file the protests at any time before the granting of the licenses. Mr. Spratlen Inquired when Mr. Dunn first made up his mind to file the protests, and he replied that he had decided to file some of them aa early as last July. The board agreed that he could not have been ex pected to file his protests before the ap plications had been presented, but both Commissioners Spratlen and Wright felt that he had been a little late In his action. The board reminded Mr. Dunn that while there was no disposition to treat him dis courteously, the applicants also wer) en titled to some consideration, and It was desirable for many reasons that this mat ter should be deposed of with all possible promptness. After some further discus sion It was agreed that the hearing should be continued until today at 3 p. m. and that the caae of William Buthorn, pro prietor of the Schlltx hotel, should be taken up first, and then the Krug, Metx and Storx cases in the order named. Among those who are interested in these cases and conversant with the situation there Is much speculation as to what sort of evidence Mr. punn will present In sup port of his charges, as It Is stated that among the places Included In his complaints alleging violation of the Sunday closing law and the ordinance In regard to closing at midnight are several locations which are intended for entirely new saloons. It Is said that among the Krug applications, against which he has protested on the grounds stated, Is one for a saloon in a building where there has not been a saloon before in eight years, and that at least one of the Mets applications Included in his list is for a new saloon. Announcements of the Theaters. Two audiences that measured the canacltv of the cozy theater attended the Orpheum yesterday. Both were enthusiastic, seem ingly Imbued with the spirit of a happy New Year s day, and If the old axiom of the conduct of the Inlatlve day of the year Deing standard for the ensuing 364 days Is true, then the Orpheum Is In for a tre mendous run. The performers were also at their best and worked with a snap and vim. All day yesterday the long line continued at the special box office provided by Man ager Burgess for the accommodation of pa trons of Boyd's theater next week, when the big spectacular performance of "Ben Hur" will be presented.

Many good seats remain for each performance, ranging from 50 cents to $2 in price. The ever popular wThe Burgomaster" will be seen at the Boyd tonight for an en gagement that will Include tomorrow's matinee and night. "Tho Burgomaster" needs no Introduction to Omaha theater goers and will doubtless repeat the success it achieved on Its previous visits here. It Is claimed that the comedy is even better than ever before. ' The costuming Is en tirely new this season, as are the scenic dress and stage adjuncts. Ous Weinberg; who created the role of the burgomaster In Chicago when the piece was originally produced, will be seen In that role.
