PARK BOARD MAY SPLIT AS A RESULT Fwo Members Threaten to Resign if Stills Is Confirmed and Send la .'" " '""nil" ofNanaes"for Seleetloa. A majority of the council In committee session decided to confirm the appointment by Mayor Moores of George T. Mills as a member of the Park board to fill the term of the late J. II. Evans. This action, It Is said, may result In the resignation of one or more members of tho Park board, who object to Mr. Mills for personal rea sons. Several members have been interceding- with the council with a view to hav ing the appointment of Mills rejected, but while Dyball And O'Brien were ubsent and Hack and Srhroeder voted against the confirmation, five members went on record yesterday as favoring It. The following list of names was submitted to the coun cil, any one of which would be acceptable to tho present Park board: W. V. Morse, 4eorge Thummell, F. P. Klrkendall, J. II. Pumont, B. U. Stone and C. F. Weller. The council majority declared It could find nothing roilly objoctlonnble concerning Mr. Mills and therefore decided to approve the mayor's selection regardless of any possi ble upheaval on the Park board. It Is possible that the opposition to Mills may fight his nppolntment In tho courts on the theory that the Judges of the dis trict court are the proper officials to se lect members of the Park board. f, .

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, l05.-To the Edi tor of The Boa: In your issue of the 1st Inst., you have an editorial entitled "A Despicable Device." This refers to a cir cular letter printed over the name of Charles M. Skinner of Brooklyn referring to the use of the aigrette.' If I mistake not Mr. Skinner Is one of the editors of the Brooklyn Eagle. In the New York Sun of December 21 he publicly stated that he was not now nor had he ever been a member of the Audubon society. The said society had nothing whatever to do with the origin or publication of the cir cular in question. I trust in view of the severe strictures in your editorial that you will give the same prominence to this letter that you did to the original matter. WILLIAM DUTCHER.

Three more performances of "Sergeant Kitty" will be given at the Boyd theater, this evening, at a matinee on Wednesday and on Wednesday evening. This is one of the sprightllest and most enjoyable musical treats ever offered In Omaha. On Thursday evening Mr. Lawrence D'Orsay, the distin guished English comedian, will begin his engagement at the Boyd in Augustus Thomas' remarkably successful comedy, "The Earl of Pawtucket." This piece has been a tremendous hit during its career, and has been generally conceded to be the real triumph of Mr. Thomas' career as a dramatist. THE V. S.

They strolled through the newly furnished rooms and expressions of praise were heard on every hand for the hjuse committee who had in hand the work of transforming ths rooms from their recent condition to one of Imposing elegance and taste. The speakers sounded the keynote of Omaha's present prosperity and deprecated in no uncertain tones the advertising to the world the city's shortcomings, what ever they may be, or heralding abroad statements that ths city lacks a moral tone, thus repelling prospective citlsens and industries. The new club rooms are certainly such that any city might be proud of and In dlcatlve of the present power of the Com. merclal club. The north room, used for reception and smoking purposes, has been finished with Flemish furnishings, relieved by a green color scheme, a harmonious combination and restful to the eye. The next room south, the women's dining room has been embellished with weathered oak furniture, art glass and two fine mantles, The other departments have been fitted up In a splendid manner. riab's Caterer la Ready Particular attention has been devoted to the culinary department, to be opened at 11 4S thla morning by Steward E. . rryor. for eighteen years with the Omaha club and recently appointed to cater to the material wants of the Commercial ciuo members.

"Exploit our good quali ties," the speaker urged. Growth of City aad State. Mr. Wattles reviewed the commercial growth of the city and state. He said the progress of Omaha last year was phenom enal and said that a director of the Com merclal club had been told the other day by a prominent Chicago grain man that Omaha is destined to become the greatest corn market In the world. "We ehould be and can be a great center for the manu facture of the products of corn, oats and wheat, even as we now are a great pack' ing center," declared Mr. Wattles. "Omaha Is now as favorably situated as any city In the matter of grain rates. Since the opening of the grain exchange last Febru ary 18,000,000 bushels of grain have been handled here. Through tho efforts of the Commercial club satisfactory rates have been obtained." Duty of the Members. Commissioner McVann spoke of the work accomplished during the six months of his Incumbency and hopert for still greater things In the future. He impressed on all the importance of the every-day assistance of every member in keeping alive the in terests and work of the club.

CHARITY One hundred and fifty new members or renewals were added to the membership of the Young Women's Christian association through the "get one" banquet given in ths association rooms In the Paxton block last evening. By this plan each member who could secured a new member or the renewal of a membership that had lapsed and these with their new members were given ths banquet, the women cf Plymouth Congre gational church furnishing the supper. Some of the members brought In several new women and the dining room was filled, the dosen or more tables being prettily dee orated and waited upon by other members who helped to introduce the strangers. After the supper Mrs. W. P. Harford, pres ident of the association, welcomed the new members and Mrs. Emma F. Byers. general secretary, spoke briefly of the other asso ciations of the country and how the Omaha organisation compared with them. The Omaha association Is seventh In site In the United States and Is the largest In dependent association in Amerlra Lnm An. geles comes first with 1200 members; Har lem. N. Y., second with i,W; Pittsburg, ItOO; Minneapolis, 2,400; Scranton, Pa., MOO; Detroit, Mich., 1.800, and Omaha, 1.M4. The aim of the local organization is 2.000 members by April 1, but by that time 860 of the present memberships will have ex pired, so It will be necessary to have all these renewed If the aim is attained. In the meantime a membership contest be tween ths various committees will be held. Mrs. Byers said that about IS.00O has been secured In cash or pledges toward the new building and assured the members that that work la progressing surely if slowly. A reading recital given by Mrs. Elta Mathe son followed the supper, it being the third number of the association's entertainment course arranged for the winter. In connection with their study of de linquent, dependent or unfortunate Ju venlles, the Newsboys' Home was the toplo before the social science department of the Woman's club Monday afternoon, ana "Mogy" Bernstein addressed the women on the conduct and support of this Institution which he founded and manages. The home was founded In October, 1901. Ita original object being to give the boys a refuge from the cold that would also serve to keep them out of ' mischief when they had sold their papers. The further possi bilities of such a home were so evident that the home has been maintained each winter since, though Mr. Bernstein said it ought to be kept open all year, estimat ing that in the- large cities 60 per cent of the boys exposed to the temptations of the street go wrorur because thev h. no one to look after them. Of the 200 newsboys in Omaha he said 60 per cent formerly smoked clsarettes. Slnr th in stitution or tne home this number ha been reduced to less than 4 ner rent i, the penalty that bars them from the hum. and prevents their selling papers If they persist in smoking. Petty thieving and snooting' dice have also been redo in equal proportion.

A kitchen Is also maintained for the boys and lnut month an average of thirty free lunches were given to the boys each day. Soup, sand- wicnea, conee, miiK and pie are sold and nothing costs more than 3 centa. A an v. ings bank system has also been started, seventy-four boys having accounts at the present time.

The Council Bluffs Woman's club has adjusted all its recent embarrassment, and. with all debts paid, has a surplus In the treasury and enough enthusiasm among Its members to guarantee Its usefulness for a long time to come. The club proposes to repeat on January 26 the Gibson picture show given last season by the domestic! science department. Some of the newer Gibson groups will be added to the tableaux and a musical program of unusual excel lence will be given. Several of the depart ments have been reorganized and the de partments of domestic science and physical culture will be hostesses of the genernl reception to be held January 27.

These steamers are G30 feet long, with capacity for 250 passengers, 1,500 troops and 28,000 tons of merchandise; it is unneeessay to state that they embody every device for com fort and safety and every degree of luxury known, in the construction of ocean crnft.

GAME BIRDS COME FROM EGYPT dnall of the lbllcal Varietr Are Now Being Offered to tho Omaha Eplcnre. Tho people of Omaha are to be given an opportunity to feast upon ancient birds. Ancient, not from the fact that these par ticular Individuals have long since reached the years of discretion, but because their forefathers were upon earth in the days when the children of Israel came up out of Egypt. It will be remembered that dur ing that memorable migration the people hungered for meat and were supplied with fowl of the genus quail, but which in re ality more closely resembles the American plover. It is the descendants of these same quail that are now to be had . upon the markets of Omaha. . There is this difference, however, be tween the feast enjoyed by the children of Israel and of that by the people of Omaha. The former were supplied with birds gratis, while the latter must pay at the rate of 15 per dozen at wholesale. When the caterer's profits are added to this it is seen that a warm bird and a cold bot' after the theater are luxuries which the poor in purse cannot too fre quently Indulge in. The importation of these Egyptian quail or plover, according to the theory of David Cole, will prove to be quite an industry. They are shipped frozen and the sample shipment which has just arrived was In excellent condition. These birds can be carried in stock in any quantity desired. In season and out of season, regardless of the local game laws, and consequently lovers of game are no longer to be de prived of their favorite dish. The flesh is white and of fine quality and . when served cannot be distinguished from the American plover. FOR AN0THERMARKET PLACE Council Flans to Establish a Third Public Sale Precinct on Lower Howard Street. Marketmaster Qerke appeared before the council committee yesterday afternoon and submitted a plan for providing for and selling stalls for market gardeners on How ard street from Ninth to Eleventh, which was accepted by the council In a resolution to be adopted tonight.
