Naw York Trlbuna.
I.
She's rone away where cool wlnda blow,
And where clear mountain streamlets flow.
On hotel porch she bresthes the air.
Oft wishing- that he might be there.
And thinking that It's rather alow,
She sighs because Joe couldn't go.
Because In town he'a tolling so,
While ahe'a away,
II.
She's gone awav. and darling Joe
Ja found each night where footlights glow;
lie cheers the charmers gsy and fair,
Who sing and dance so debonnalre,
And when he trice to drown his woe
Where tinkling glasses overflow
He goea it all the town must know
She's gone away.
Although the gadfly seems to have dona
Ma worst among the fashionables, there
are a till enough left In town to entertain
each other, In an Informal way at least,
and last week waa not ao dull as might
hare been expected considering. And It
waa not all out at the Country and Field
clubs either, for, thanks to the fact that
not a few out-of-town girls consider It
worth while to summer In Omaha, there
waa something going on nearly every day
In their honor. For the most part these
gatherings were held In the morning and
some of them were elaborate enough, too.
In the main, cards furnished the diver
sion, though aome were kenslngtona and
at others the popular guessing gam served
to entertain.
At the clubs things have been gay. In
deedgay because the people have been
there to chat and lunch and play golf and
dance and do the many other things un
usual, unexpected and otherwise, ttuvt oc
cur to people to do when there la a crowd.
I.adlen' day at the Country club haa fur
nished a mid-week feature that Is most
acceptable and on Wednesday afternoon the
women of the Field club were asked over
to the Country club to try the golf course
ami have a cup of tea. While not an over
whelming number accepted the Invitation
pwhaps because the women of the Field
club prefer tennis to golf, or the majority
of them do, or for some other reason the
afternoon waa a success none the less, even
to that proverbially feminine Institution
the cup of tea. A table d'hote luncheon
was served at noon to about sixty women,
Wednesday evening being guest night at
the Field club, ther waa a crowd out that
made the members appreciate the wisdom
of tha board of directors In establishing
limitations, even If by co doing they did
net tha busybodles to talking. Tct, even
the fashionables have their troubles. .
And then there has been no end of fun
among tha younger set. that la, (he set
that la at home for the aummer, and while
no one has been especially Invited or en
tertained, there have been little Impromptu
ailing parties, bowling parties, picnics and
tha like that have been altogether enjoy
able, ' and that Is what society wants
chiefly nowadays.
Willie there haa been a noticeable In
clination toward athletics among women
of late, Omaha girls have been slow to
take fp that very practical fad that the
women - of. the east are .most enthusiastic
about swimming. Almost all the , college
girls have come home with great tales of
the swimming tank and the .queer .duds
that tta devotees have adopted. To be sure
they were not adopted from choice, that
Is, not at first, but rather because the
swimming teacher ruled that they had to
be worn and after that the bathing suit
was abandoned from choice. The accepted
suit resembles mora than any thing else
a little boy's overalls the waist being loose
and tha sleeves short, the trousers coming
to, about the knee and admitting of the
free use of the limbs. During the past
fortnight a number of society women have
become quite enthused and several classes
are being organised, under the direction of
one of he girls just back from Sargent's.
These classes are to meet at Courtland
Beach early In the morning when nobody
Ise - will be about.
Poor "Uncle Dick!" For everybody called
him "Uncle Dick." although his card al
ways bore the Inscription "Mr. Richard S.
Berlin," engraved In the newest lettering.
He will be missed more, now that ha has
gone, than would any other man who has
figured In Omaha society perhaps because
he bad been a society man longer than
any of the others, but more probably be-
. cause he was always the same Imperturb
able, accommodating, polite, sociable com
panion, despite ups and downs In other
fields. "Uncle Dick," as long aa memory
runa back, had been the column of amoke
by day and the pillar of fire by night for
tha society phalanx. Whenever a new
visiting girl came to town "Uncle Dick"
waa the first to be asked to help entertain
her, and he responded with energetlo
alacrity. Whenever a dinner waa to be
filled out or a theater party made up
'tlncle Dick" waa the handy man, and
van If the Invitation arrived as an eleventh
, hour bid his sense of social ' duty would
alwaya overcome all points of personal
sensitiveness. "I know I'm only here be
cause they couldn't get anyone else," he
would say in his joking way, when he
knew, and his hoata knew, that without
Mm the company would have been stale
' and flat. "Uncle Dick" never married the
reason why people will only guess but he
took special Interest in helping along the
lova affairs of his friends and his help in
smoothing over rough places will be re
inembered by many members ot tha mar
ried set. He took particular pride In tha
wedding of Mr. "Jack" Cudahy and Mlsa
Edna Cowln. regarding that alliance as Ms
chet d'ouvre of match making. Wonder,
too, what will become of that wonderful
"toast book" complied by him with such
painstaking perseverance, which has done
service on so many, many, occasions for
more wlUeaa performers on the after dinner
speech making program. "Uncle Dick'
surely will be missed.

SUTPHEN CASE IS ON TRIAL
Judge F.stelle Hears Evidence la
Cadet's Salt to Obtain a
Diploma. . .
At the conclusion of the evidence In the
case of Joy Butphen against the Board
of Education for the purpose of securing a
diploma from the high school, C. E. Her
ring, attorney for the board, moved that
the action be dismissed upon the evidence
offered by the plaintiff. This motion was
passed for argument until Tuesday morn
ing. At the hearing Saturday morning
the witnesses for ths plaintiff Included
Principal Waterhouse of ths High school
and one of the Instructors,' Mr; Woolery.
who had charge of the markings In trig
onometry. The latter Identified a record
which showed that In this branch of study
Sutphcn had been marked 76, which mark
had been cancelled and the marking of fl3
substituted. He said that the record was
dated June 19. but that It was prepared
before that time and that members of the
High school cadet battalion had been al
lowed their dally average In this study
for the days they were attending the en
campment, with the understanding that
the marking was subject to change in case
their record at camp was not satisfactory.
Principal Waterhouse Identified the rules
and regulations of the school board and
the regulations governing the cadet bat
talion. He said that he had little personal
knowledge of the system followed In Axing
the credits of pupils In the battalion, as It
was part of the duty of the commandant
to regulate the markings and the final re
sult waa sent to him, to become part of
the permanent records. The copy of the
regulations was Introduced to show the
penalties provided for derelection of duty
and a system of extra markings for extra
work. In which Is Included attendance at
encampments.
In the afternoon there were introduced
records showing that no reduction had
been made in the unit work of any study
but trigonometry, but that a reduction to
70 per cent had been made In the average,
while the other, studies were unchanged
from the original report. The principal
said that this change was not made for the
reason that after figuring the deductions
the pupil would have passed In all other
branches, and the change would have been
useless. It was shown that one pupil had
been given a diploma who had not made
the required grades and ths attorney for
Sutphen Insisted that If this were dons
In one case It should be done In all.

ter for the federation to take up and It
should bo the subject ot chief consider
ation by the St. Louis biennial. She spoke
of the extension of Mormonlsm and ths
methods by which It Is being accomplished.
of the election of Reed Smoot to ths United
States senate and of the fact that, the-
Mormon question had already crept Into
the General Federation inasmuch as one
Mormon club already holds membership In
that body. Mrs. Brtgham Roberta was
elected delegate from this club to the Los
Angeles biennial, but she, at a late date,
decided not to attend, presumably because
of the question raised by local and other
newspapers, as to whether she would be
allowed to be seated if she went. This
question, Mrs. Fox said, has never been
discussed in the general board, but she
thought it should receive serious consider
ation at the St. Louis meeting next year.
Mora than ordinary Importance Is at
tached to this statement as coming from
Mra. Fox because of her close touch with
ths General Federation board and the wall
known fact that she Is among Its' most
valued, experienced and conservative mem
bers.
Another matter upon which Mrs. Fox
touched that Is of especial local Interest
Is of limiting the time of debate. She
said that a knowledge of parliamentary
rule is as essential to a member of an
organisation as the knowledge of the rules
of any game In which they would suc
cessfully participate, and she advised that
all debate be limited to three minutes if
not two, as she considered that ample
time for any ope person to present her
argument. She advised that the business
hour be shortened by limiting debate.
There has been considerable complaint. In
the local club during the last two or three
years that tho business hour Is too long
and not enough time Is sllowed for pro
grams, and this advice from tne recog
nized parliamentarian of the General Fed
eration will doubtless have much weight
In effecting a remedy of this matter.
Tho Federal Woman's Equality associa
tion, which enrolls among Its membership
the foremost women thinkers and workers
of the country, and that- has recently
gained several radical concessions to women
through its Intelligent action, has deter
mined upon another and even more radical
step that promises, no matter wMch way
it may result, to mark an epoch In the ad
vancement of the cause of women. The
fallowing protest and . pledge has been
Issued by ths association with the tequest
that women circulate and sign It:'
We, as paying women of , hereby
agree to do what we can, by protest and
argument, to emphasize the fact that "tax
ation without representation is tyranny"
as much for American women as It waa for
the American co:onlea In 1776. And we also
pledge ourselves that when 10,000 or more
women In the United States ahall have been
similarly enrolled we will simultaneously
take action, either by refusal to pay taxes
or by united suit to reoover taxes or by
whatever method may seem best In accord
ance with official advice, of the Federal
Woman's Equality association, to the end
that public attention may be thoroughly
and effectively called to the Injustice and
Injury done to women by violating the
fundamental principles of our republic In
taxing them without giving them any voice
In saying how their money shall be ap
plied. Blanks for signatures are to be supplied
later to those who wish them, but in the
meantime women wishing to circulate and
sign the protest and petition will be al
lowed to copy It and use It heading,
provided care la taken to give the post
offloe address, town, county and state of
every signer. The copy and circulation of
the protest and petition Is especially ad
vised so that tho names can be classified
at headquarters. by November 1 and copies
furnished to all such organizations aa cars
to use them in Influencing state legislation
this winter.

LIBRARIAN GETS NEW IDEAS
Attends Convention of National Library
Association at Niagara Falls,
EXPECTS TO IMPROVE SERVICE HERE
Miss Tobttt1 Telia ot Pointers Gathered
at the Convention and at Several
Eastern Cities She Visited
While Away.
Miss Edith Tobltt. librarian, and Miss
Bertha Baumer of the public library staff
returned Wednesday morning after spend
ing three weeks In the east, one of these
at Niagara Falls attending ths session of
the American Library association and tbe
following two In Now Tork and elsewhere
Inspecting libraries.
"We feel that we have been well repaid
for the trip," said Miss Tobltt, "and that
we will be able to considerable Improve tho
service through ' suggestions and Ideas
which wo have heard and which were
brought to our attention at the meeting of
the association.
"Probably the most Important discussion
was In regard to the relation of tho
libraries and the book trade. We now pay
20 per cent more for certain books than
we did two years ago and this naturally
makes a great difference to the libraries.
Prominent librarians and well known pub
lishers took part in this discussion. A com
mittee was appointed and a fund estab
lished for sending to all libraries notifi
cations of all publishers' changes In price.
The libraries, comparatively, are such
small purchasers of books that they have
little Influence with the publishing houses.
Fiction la Public Libraries.
"In the discussion of fiction In publlo
libraries J. C. Dana of Newark took a
leading part. It la his idea that we should
get more copies of each popular work and
acquire a less variety of authors. He also
Is a great advocate of what la called the
duplicate system, by which separata books
are carried and rented at 2 or i cents a
week and in this way pay for their cost.
These books would be largely works which
It would not be worth while placing in the
permanent collection.
"I have been trying to get Mr. Dana to
attend the Nebraska State association's
meeting In Fremont, October 7, and ho has
almost promised. I think his comigg will
do us a great deal of good, aa he Is one
of the most prominent librarians In the
country.
'While we have always taken great pains
In the fumigation of our books I shall be
able to greatly Improve our apparatus.
Andrew F. Currier brought before one of
the meetings snd explained to the librar
ians the system which he has perfected
for sterilizing books. This Is done by plac
ing them open say 500 volumes at a time
In tight case and sterilising them with
a vspor consisting largely of formaldehyde.
This can be done nightly, a new set of books
going In to replace the disinfected ones,
which can go back to circulation.
Gifts and Beqaests.
"J. L. Harrison, chairman of tho commit
tee of gifts and bequests, read a report
covering the gifts received during the year
ended May 31, 1903. Five hundred and
twelve gifts are recorded, representing in
all W.247 volumes and $10,531,407.81. Of this
amount 1710,800 was given for general
endowment funds, fftf.TOO for buildings sites,
$0,704,000 for buildings from Andrew
Carnegie, $l,2&0.W.tt for buildings from
other doners, SitH.MO for the establishment
ot book funds, $101,677 for the purchase of
books and $1,3(3,871.60 for purposes
the objects of which ware not stated.
Thn Nebraska bequests were as
follows: Our own library received a
herbarium and caaes, given by William
Cleburne and containing I.2U0 species-collected
mainly In Nebraska and sutroundlng
states. Falls City public library received
$10,000 for building and books from Lydla
B. Woods. Hastings received 115,000 from
Andrew Carnegie for a building. Kearney
received annomously 800 volumes. Helen
Gould sent $1,000 to the North Platte
Toung Men's Christian association reading
rooms. Plattsmouth was benefited by
$1,801 from various cltisens and Seward
received 400 books.
Permanent Headanarters.
"There was a great deal of discussion In
regard to establishing a headquarters far
the association, a thing very much needed.
A million dollars will be needed to furnish
a site and equip a building such ss Is
desired. 1. 1 Wyer, president of our state

"Tho very best library we found on our
trip was the Newark Free library which Is
In charge of Mr. Dana. They have a de
partment for the circulation of plcturfs.
and largo rooms, for the exhibition of fine
paintings borrowed from the private
collections of tho city. They also' have
their own bindery and I have brought hnmn
several samples of their work to be copied
here. Ths Torkville branch of tho New
Tork City library was the model small
library to come to our notice. It Is the
first of the' branches authorized by Mr.
Carnegie to be completed. Small cities,
having, say. $40,Ono or $30,000 to spend for
building and books, should apply to the
Torkville library for plans and Ideas. I
consider It a model."
