W. smith. Dl.Terenceg between ths council and ths Board of Public Works oyer the appoint merit and confirmation of employes In the latter department were adjusted at a Joint conference lasting most of yesterday. It culminated In the adoption of a list con taining; til appointments, which were con firmed br the council at a special meeting at o'clock. The republican council gained the principal Jobs, while a concession was granted to Building Inspector Wlthnell. enabling him to appoint bis own asslstsnt and clerk. All of the permanent foremen and Inspectors In the public works depart ment are retained. The temporary places of this character and the laborers and teamsters were parceled out with a liberal hand In other words, everybody was placed on the waiting list who applied, to be used when reeded. Comptroller Lobeck stood firm to the list recently submitted by the Board of Public Works, and filed a protest on the ground that It was a "better se lected Met." Building Inspector Wlthnell gsve way under heavy pressure and made the best terms he Could. Nothing now re mains In the way of the public works de partment resuming business but the ap proval of the mayor to the list adopted. Second Assistant Attorney, An ordinance was given Its Introductory readings making provisions for the position of assistant to the assistant city attorney at a salary of 11.800 a year. The duties are described aa being the same as those out lined In the charier for the sselstant at torney. The method of conferring authority Is peculiar, the ordinance saying "the mayor shall nominate and by and with the advice and consent of the council shall ap point the person, etc." The position here tofore has been authorized by an old coun ctlmanlc order. The general opinion Is that the place is Intended for B. F. Thomas, notwithstanding City Attorney Wright's ob jections. The resolution authorising the building Inspector to employ his assistant and his clerk, each at a salary not to exceed $75 a month, and authority to draw $20 a month for the expenses of a horse and buggy. Is necessarily concurrent. The mayor may not sign It, as he Is opposed to Thomas Fal coner, whom Inspector Wlthnell wants, A similar resolution has been In effect for several years. These Gat Jobs. Yesterday afternoon the council confirmed the following Board of Public Works em ployes for a period of three years: General , foreman street department. J. B. Hummel; assistant general foreman, Ed Rich; time keeper and superintendent of mechanism, George W. Bmith; general foreman sewer department, William Hutton; Inspectors street cuts and connections, Mike Lee, Ed Taylor, Adam Sloup; Inspector and superin tendent, J. O. Snowden; notice server. Bam- , uel Beatty. The following sidewalk In spectors were named, to be used as needed: C. J. Canan, 13. B. Balcombe, A. W. Tldd. Samuel Bpratlen. George Jewett, Daniel T. - Custer,' John ' Dennlson. The name of George ' FHspatrick, as clerk at 183.33 per month, was rejected. . The place of "tlme- keeper and superintendent of mechanism Is a new one, created especially for George W. Smith, who the democrats wanted for general street foreman, and will pay $KS a . month. - The councllmen who attended the special meeting, and who, with the exception of O'Brien, voted to confirm the list, were the same that wrestled all day long with the Board of Public Works over the problem, while crowds of anxious job-hunters filled the corridors, moving Secretary Cobum to dub the halway "the streets of all nations." Councllmen Hoye and Evans were away on a hunting trip and Huntington was home sick. Why O'Brien Totes "Xo." Councilman Q'Brlen did his best all day .to make the contending elements agreeable, but voted against confirmation because President Zlmman would not allow Lobeck's protest to be read as it was not specified In the call. The .ettlement was brought about throigh the position taken by Building In- spector Wlthnell, over whom the council held a club In the matter of his assistant. "Concede us a few points on the list and we will let you came your own assistant," they said. "Otherwise you will get a man ' whom you don't want and who will make your term very unpleasant." Inspector Wlthnell was further Influenced by the urgent necessity of putting men to work - on the streets and the danger of menacing the public without a man In the department to make repairs. He was sorely pressed and capitulated only because he could not ' help himself. The rtlgma of the fiasco was narrowing itself down to the democratic members of the board, and it was felt the better plan was to give way and not ob- . struct public safety.

Consid erable stock Is also made of the fact that the board of directors of the Denver Woman's club refused to endorse the Civic ticket after sending delegates to help to form It, and the assertion is made that "women will not stand for each other, even In Colorado." Interviews with some of the prominent women of the city, women In touch with women generally, show the facts to warrant quite a different conclu sion. Mrs. James D. Whltmore, presi dent of the Denver Woman's club, is quoted by a Denver paper as saying: "As far as I know, the women supported the women candidates. I am sure of this. There were representative women on both tickets and some voted for all of them. At the board meeting of the club the vole to endorse one ticket was lost by a rote of It to 10. This wss simply the unwilling ness of some members to even seem to oppose some of the other strong women of the club, who were candidates on opposing tickets. It was simply left for each woman to vote as she chose, but I am confident that the women generally supported women candidates and stood by each other loy ally. I was afraid the men might scratch the names of women, because there are many who do not know how well qualified many of the women are to take responsible positions." Other women are equally certain that the women were loyal to their own candidates and it would seem that the assurance of the representative women of the city ought to count for something. As for the failure of the board of the club to endorse the Civic ticket, even if they had sent rep resentatives to help make It. such action was only consistent with the attitude of women's organisations generally, unless they are political organizations, snd the evident unwillingness to Influence the votes of members sgnlnst other members of the club who were candidates would seem the wise thing, the only thing, in fact, to avert dissension, for after all the endorsement of the board does not Insure the vote of the Individual club members, and such en dorsement could but Incur only fruitless and unnecessary feeling. On this particu lar point It would seem that a great deal of fuss has been made about nothlug. The Club Woman, which has been the official organ for the General Federation of Women's Clubs for some time, has been purchased by the Club Woman's company and the editorial, and publication office will be removed from Boston to New York City. In future Mrs. Dora Lyons of New York will be the editor, assisted by Miss Helen M. Wtnslow, the late editor, and Mrs. R. Horton Batchelor. It Is to be greatly en larged and will have departments devoted to household economics, fashion, society, fiction, art. musto and the drama, aa well as to clubs. Many prominent women will be among the regular contributors and de partment editors, according to the pros pectus. This la not the first attempt at a woman's magazine. In New York, edited and published by club women, but It has perhaps the strongest backing of any that has been undertaken and the outcome of the new enterprise will be watched with interest. The board of directors of the General Federation o -Women's -Clubs has Issued the following greeting to clubs federated and unfederated, urging further considera tion of the ever-Increasing value of unity of effort: . It must be evident that the strongest club led by the wisest, most brilliant and cool ext brained woman, Is yet unable to cope with and carry forward far-reading plans as effectively ss when allied with other clubs of like objects. In becoming a lactor for a dominant purpose Individuality Is not lost. Each club in the federation Is to be as distinct as a star In a constellation a part of It, yet a shining. Individual star. With federation comes not onlv a breath of outlook, of purpose, of association, of work which means growth, a thing supremely to be desired In the Individual or the club but there is that which cannot be put Into cold words a broader charity and strength of sympsthy and co-operation among works, a broader charity, a more tolerant spirit and a sweetness snd strength rated, yet standing together In s concerted move ment for the common good. -With It come a reciprocity, from lack of which, without realising, a club may be suffering. With federation the development of Isolated clubs Is no longer limited to the Intellectun! scope of their community; but, brought 'n eontsct 'with clubs of higher purpose 1 broader work, the humblest club mnv 1 definite Idenls above snd beyond Itself. The general federation has the power to mnke effective national Issues f questions which hitherto have been of only local In terest. The general federation riaa brought together the mothers and home keepers of the different sections of the United States, and educated ench snd all In hretdth of tolerance, humiliated them In the con sciousness of lack of superior wisdom, de veloped the heart in sffoctlonate regard for all, snd strengthened fnlth In the sincerity of universal womanhood. It hss furnished J a great universal platform where women I of all shsdes of belief can mingle and work I In the world's progress. The Young Women's Christian associa tion will hold Its closing gospel meeting of the spring at 4:30 o'clock Sunday after noon. Miss Mary E. Anthony will lead the meeting and Mrs. Byers will speak on "Mary and -Martha." Miss Cora L. Tatham, general secretary of the Los Angeles association, was a caller at the local association rooms on Tuesday. The attendance at the noon rest and lunch for the month of May was 14,848, or a dally average of 671. . Twenty-nine members of the Sunshine club of South Branch, made up a picnic party at Riverview park on Saturday afternoon and during the week several little picnic parties have been enjoyed by members of the different classes. 'These little occasions are another Indication of the social value of the association. SETTLEMENT JN THE FUTURE Builder and Employes Still Sparring, bat Resalts Are at Hand. Round No. S In the continuous bout be tween the Builders' exchange and Building Trades council was "pulled off" yesterday at the Builders' exchange ring in the New York Life building. It closed without final results and the fourth round will come Friday. At the end of the third round both aides came up smiling, though a little groggy; much wind had been spent. Neither was ready to throw up the apongs nor claim the victory, but both agreed that It would require at least one more go to settle the title to the belt. Referee Tate announced, after the gladiators had left the ringside thst the exchange of blows was so fsst and furious he was unable to decide the mill and would therefore have to call for another round. He and the combatants bope for the end Friday, Owing to the vital consequences pending upon the outcome of the conference be tween the builders and their former em ployes ths greatest Interest Is manifest. It Is believed by many that If these par ties Inslly come to terms a nucleus will thereby be furnished for the ultimate ad justment of all the labor difficulties In Omaha. And there Is do despair over the prospect for settlement of the builders' affairs. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Tex Commissioner FiUtrtid Reports AisfumenU Completed. EXACT FIGURES NOT YET AVAILABLE Valuations of Stock Yards, racking riaats and Banks Are Increased ad Total W ill Far Exceed Last Year's. Tax Commissioner J. J. Fitzgerald has nearly completed making the city assess ment for 1901. The books will be ready to turn over Monday. Last year the valuation aa returned by tho tax commissioner was S16.091.3W. Mr. Fitzgerald stated last night that while his totals were Incomplete he wss satisfied the grand total would exceed that of last year by a considerable amount. He further stated that he had Increased the valuation of the packing plants and the stock yards and also the three banks. Other property also comes in for an Increase as compared with the assessment of IS"1! It Is possible thst the total valuation may reach between liO.OOO.Ort) and 12,000,000. In 1300 the valua tion of city property was returned st $1. 54.181 For 1901 the valuation was placed at S2.M0.rTl In 1SWJ the valuation was 116.091. S05 The latter returns show an enormous increase ss compared with the year 19ol. The plan of having a tax commissioner Is considered much more desirable than the old system of having an assessor for each ward, whose work was soon completed snd whose responsibility ceased as soon aa the city had accepted the returns. Now the tax commissioner is a salaried official and maintains an ofllce the year round. Joint Installation.

The wster extension question was dis cussed snd the necessity for the extension of a water main down Forty-second street to Davenport was urged, also that a fire hydrant should be put In on Davenport street between Forty-second snd Forty fourth streets. There is also necessity for a flte hydrant at Forty-fourth and Dodge streets, ss the residences In that locality are entirely without fire protection.

Boston, list 11.60) Irving Pacheller, a genuine American writer of genuine American (U-llon. has given to the world his latest and thus far his best work. The book la a pure and delicious romsnce, the theme of which Is that he who drlnketh of another's sweetness shall find It bitter, but that he who drlnketh of another's bit terness shall find It sweet. Among American writers of fiction Dachcller Is In a class hy himself. In his work are combined to a greater extent, perhaps, than that of any contemporary novelist save Darrle, those essential qualities which mske literature of fiction. His English Is drawn from a well that Is pure and undented and the tones of his messsge ring sweet and clear as ths chimes of silver bells. It Is In the forest country of northern New York, In the enrly half of the last century, that the scens of Ilacheller s story Is laid. The rare charm of the woodland atmosphere thst the su tbor loves so well pervades ths pages of his book like a delicate aroma. The characters that breath that air are Imbued with It purity. Its vigor and Its naturalness. They sre real as they are simple, and so Just as Ilarheller's philosophy would have It good and bad alike, the reader Is In touch snd sympathy with them all. Darrel Is a wood land philosopher a splendid and lovablo type. "Know ye not." he aks, "there Is a country In easy resch of us, with fair fields an" proud cities sn' msny peopls sn' sll de lights, boy, all delights?
