TITE OMAnA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 27. ,1904. 10 V- i CITY PAY DAY EVERY WEEK Bnch ii Objict Louht by Comptroller Lobeck in Legislative BilL PLAN TO BENEFIT PAY LABORERS Presrat Arrnrxrnt of ParK Oaca a Month Imposes Hard Ship B Tboir Who crd Moirfi lie S. Cltr Comptroller Lobock Is urging a charter amnndmrnt that would enable the city to pay laborers and others in the public works department tach week Instead of at the end of every mcnth which Is the best that can be done undtr existing laws. "Much hardship Is cnuncd these men," ays the comptroller, "Inasmuch as many of them live from hand to mouth they can not wait more than a week to get the use of the proceeds of that wetk's toll. Con sequently they are forced to assign their wages at considerable discount, thus losing a percentage of the profits of the-lr work. Were the men employed regularly of course they could adjust their system of living so that they would not have to get the money as soon as It Is earned, but the great majority of them cannot be employed other than for longer or shorter periods, and sometimes only for a few days at a time. When they are not working for the city they have to look for employment elsewhere. "My suggestion would be to have time slips Issued on each Monday morning by the proper officers of the public works department and the comptroller and arrange so that the slips can be cashed Immediately in the treasurers office. I am confident that this would effect a great deal of good and save money for the work ing men that segregates a large sura annually, which now goes into the coffer! of the money lenders." The comptroller Intends to bring his proposed amendment to the attention of the oharter revision committee. HOMESEEKERS' RATES FIXED Scheme for New Tear Schedules Are Made and BlaT Taek Off Hands. "The scheme of homeseekers rates for 1906 Is now complete," said an official of the Burlington. "No rates of this kind are imade after December. All the details ar riot quite completed, but we are ready for the spring movement. The schedule for the Washington and Oregon movement Is to be one fare plus 12. The trains for the northwest will be run on the flrs and aecond Tuesdays of each month." The delegates to the), convention of the National Live Stock and Wool Growers' association will have a rate of one fare plus 60 cents. The convention Is to be held at Denver and the railroads have the as surance of a large movement In that direc tion, beginning January 7. The Nebraska Agricultural association Is to hold it con vention at Lincoln January 16-21 and a rate of one fare plus 60 cents haa been made . The final limit of. the tickets will be January 22. . A railroad official said this morning that not in years has such an enormous volume of buslnesss been done. This year the- 200 mile limit was removed and It was stated at the i depot that while the limit from Omaha takes in the most populous part of the state yet comparatively more tickets have been sold beyond the limit than In side of it. "Next year." said an official, "I wc-'d not be surprised to see the time of sale extended in order to favor those having a long distance to go. I think the tendency will be to Increase the volume of business." DEMAND FOR CHRISTMAS TREES Growing Custom Makes Heavy In roads oa Supply and Causes Some Alarm. "i don't know where the future genera tions are going to get their Christmas trees from," said a Burlington railroad official. "We carried thousands of them to market this year, and I presume the other roads did the same. If the figures of the exact number could be had I presume It would go far Into the millions. Forests are be Irn depleted of the young trees used for thli festivity and the lumbermen are cut- sway the big ones. Between the two '"""'over- c.unirerous trees are disappear ing at a staggering rata. And the habit i.. iuiwuut.4 trues Is growing. 1 j. v.-ome wnen I was a boy that the buuOuy school Christmas tree did duty for the entire neighborhood. This pretty Ger man custom has grown in America until now It's a mighty poor boy that can't have a Christmas tree all to himself. Formerly we used the tree simply to hang the gifts on; now we use It as a holiday ornament, and the trees are ' getting thinned out. There will be , no Christmas tree famine, perhaps, for a few years to come, but they are getting scarcer and scarcer and it is becoming harder to get them. As the de mand for them Increases the supply Is do-creasing." H. C. MABIE TO SPEAK HERE Boston Man Will B In Omaha Next Sunday for Two Dis courses. The members of the Omaha Ministerial "union gathered this morning tin the Young Men's Christian association rooms for one of the preliminary devotional meetings which have been arranged to precede the evangelical services to be held In Jan uary.

LIBERTY F0R CHRISTMAS Thirty Offenders Discharged by Police Judae Berka Without Gettlng ny Sentence. Monday was Christmas day In police court. Police Judge Berka opened court about t o'clock and the wheels of Justice ceased to grind before half an hour elapsed. With few exceptions, all were discharged without even being asked whether they pleaded guilty or not. A few were held over for Tuesday, their offenses being of such a character as to muke a summary dismissal out of the question. But even a police judge likes to feel he can do a kind act at Christmas time and Judge Berka Is no ex ception to that rule. About thirty in all were told to go their way rejoicing. Most of these were plain drunks, some had been drunk and disorderly, while a few had been arrested for other minor offenses. 22-callber rifle for a Christmas present, partk'lpaiad In a wild weal show with a number of other boys today and shot and killed his brother, aged la.

Clarence Hun ter, a Il-yar-vld negro, who bad recelvod Poor Opera Classes Hula Eyesight. The woman was not old, but she com plained that her eyesight was falling faat. The oculist was a fatherly -looking old gen tleman, consequently he felt privileged to put a few questions decidedly personal and apparently non-professional. "Do you go to the theater oftenT" he asked. "Once or twice a week." "In what part of tlje house do you sit?" "Usually In the top gallery?" came the hesitating reply. "And now, what grade of opera glasses do you use?" "I'm afraid," said the woman, "that they are not good. They cost only 12.60." "I thought so," said the doctor. "That's what's the matter with your eyes. Poor opera glasses are ruining them. If I had my way there wouldn't be a cheap pair of opera glasses on the market. They are death to the eyes. A couple of seasons of theatergoing In the top gallery with a pair of poor glasses for a steady companion are suns to damage the best pair of eyes In town. Better a hundred times let the glasses alone. If you have a good, strong pair, all right go ahead and use them; if not, trust to the naked eye for making out the mysteries of the play. Ths sight will not suffer half so much. "Poor glasses will not focus properly, and anyone who uses them frequently, especial ly at that distance from the stage, la sow ing the seed of headaches, dancing lights and stars, wrinkles, and a hunt of otiter eculavr InflrmlUus."
