trict. The Young Woman's Christian association
has made the following report on member
ship for the month of January: New mem
bers received, active, 77; associate, 79; sus
taining. 4. Renewals received, active. 43:
assoclste, 21; sustaining, 4. This makes a
total of 228 members secured toward the
2,WV) mark set for April 1. As 121 members
were received Into the 'association last Jan
uary, there are still fifty-three renewals to
come In for that month, but even though
these should not renew the membership
would still show a gain of thirty-nine over
last year. About 800 renewals are due be
tween this and April and an effort is be
ing made to secure as many of these as pos
sible. There will be 174 expirations for the
month of February. This decided Increase
of Interest in the Work, for the young
women of the city Is highly gratifying and
encourages the workers to believe that the
new association building is not so fur In
the future.
The little girls of the Sunshine club of
South Branch had a winter picnic last Sat
urday afternoon. Everyone brought some
thing to eat and after the Bible study there
was reading and games, and then came the

weather for sleighing, coasting and skat
ing parties.

of the Newsboys' Home paid by the club
women. The matter will be referred to the
club directory at Its next meeting and then
brought before the club, ti la desired to
pay this salary of $5 a week until the close
of the present club year.
DEMONSTRATION IN CHOCOLATE
Walter Baker Company's Expert
Shows What Can Be Made
from It.
There has been a gathering of girls and
women at Chambers' academy this week
that must convince even the most pessimis
tic that It will take something more than
Arctlo weather or even women's clubs to
permanently alienate woman's Interest from
the culinary art. The Walter Baker Choco
late eo.mpany has been giving a course of
free lectures In cooking, with demonstra
tions and a chance to sample the results,
and the women have availed themselves of
the opportunity with an enthusiasm that
shiu!j gratify the palates as well as the
souls of those who delight In dainties.
Cocoa, souflee, cakes. Ice cream and even
fune Is congered Into shape from the con
tents of the little boxes and packages that
bear the company's trsde mirk and served
to the women by "La 3elle Chocolatiere" In
her buff-colored basque, full blue skirt and
queer little cap, just as she looks In the
pictures.
High school girls Interested In fudge mak
ing have been regular attendants at the
afternoon lectures, but they have been dis
appointed, for the demonstration In this srt
of all arts dear to the schoolgirl, and the
majority of other girls, haa been thought
fully set for Saturday that all may have an
opportunity to become proficient .In this
requisite to tho really accomplished young
woman. . ,
Medics Hare a Dance. '
Eta chapter of Phi Bho Sigma, a medi
cal fraternity, gave a swell ball at Cham
bers' last evening. The dance was given
by Eta chapter, which Is composed of a
number of young men from Crelghton unl
verslty. to alumni mtmbers of the frater
nity and their friends. There was a large
delegation present from Lincoln and all
the members of the chapter at the Omaha
Medical college were present. The hall

old gold, the colors of the frsternlty. There
were about 150 couples present.

AFFAIRS AT SODlfl OMAHA
Pickm Ears Ho Fear of a Shortage in
8taam Coal Eopalj.
COLD WEATHER STOPS FUN OF STOCK
Men Taken OtT the lea Fields and
Slack Ttana nt racking; Heasee
Canses Many Idle Men
In City.
Fears of another coal famine because of
the continued severity of ths weather are
not entertained by the packers. However,
there was a brief period when some alarm
was aroused, but the packers say It Is all
over. The packers have contracts direct
with the mines for sn abundant supply,
and to farther fortify themselves against
a possible famine, as was experienced a
year ago for a day or two, they have ar
ranged with the local coal dealers to ab
sorb their surplus on short notice If neces
sary. The cold weather does not affect the
actual operation of the packing plants to
any great extent, further than that of
making steam more difficult to keep up
and more expensive also. In the rooms
where boiling processes are much used, the
constant rise of vapor Is almost blinding,
and In a general way the sero weather Is
not the most satisfactory to the packers,
although not prohibitive In any depart
ment. The general effect of the cold, however.
Is more or less detrimental to the stock
market. All trains are late, and stock
sent to market now Is subjected to a trial
at once Injurious. For this reason the run
of stock Is light, and doubtless will be
until the sun's rays tons the atmosphere a
trifle at least.
In this connection. It may be said that
the packers are letting their men off the
Ice fields, and there are at this time per
haps more Idle men In the city than at
any other time this winter. Some of the
packers are satisfied with the fine harvest
of Ice thus far secured, but one or two
of them, especially Armour, will start next
week on the second crop, and fill their
houses to the utmost.
The Ice crop has thickened during the
last day or two until most any field shows
a depth of Ice of from twelve to fifteen
Inches. The Ice men sssert that Ice thicker
than this is not desirable, being too thick
to handle with any degree of facility and
satisfaction.
Bond Case Goes Over.
The suit of Frank Plvonka and others to
restrain the city council from selling the
park and city hall bonds Is now almost for
gotten for the reason that It has gone over
until the next term of court, and little Is
said about It In municipal circles. The In
junction, of course, still stands and the
council seems to evince no Interest In the
sale of the bonds, which are seldom spoken
of nowadays.
Maalcnl Entertainment Tonight.
The first entertainment of a series under
the auspices of the Bon Temps club will be
held this evening at the Workmen Temple.

The below-cero weather knocked out the

University alumni to Dr. James H. Can
tleld, former chancellor of the University
of Nebraska, and now librarian at Colum
bia university. Dr. Canheld was to arrive

as their guest for the evening, but he wired
at noon that his train was five hours late
and It Was near midnight before he finally
reached the city. Under the circumstances
and In view of ths fact that a number ot
the members of the association could not
be present, the meeting was postponed.
Greetings have been received from Presi
dent Butler In the following telegram:
NEW YORK, Feb. t Victor Rosewater,
Omaha: Alma mater sends greetings to
her distant sons and wishes them all hap
piness and prosperity.
NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES
"The Spaa of Life" at the Ktsg.
Something there la about this good old
play that holds the popular heart. It has
ail the elements of Interest, and seems te
never grow old. This is doubtless due to
the fact that It Is built along lines that en
dure, for the "heart Interest" is there and
the action Is the sort thst attracts all
classes. It Is being presented for the latter
half of the week at the Krug. opening last
night to a very well filled house and hold
ing the closest attention throughout. Much
of the Interest of the piece centers around
the human bridge from which It takes Its
name. , The three Donliettas are still with
the rompsny. and still enact that thrilling I
bit of acrobatic work In a way that delights
the audience. Another piece of spectacular
work Is the famous lighthouse scene. In
which the wounded hero climbs the side of
the lighthouse, despite his disabled arm,
and lights the lamp, just In time to save
the steamer. This great scene Is well car
ried off, and wins much applause. The
piece will be given at a matinee this after
noon and again this evening.
CHINESE ORDERED SENT BACK
Commissioner Anderson Holds that
Son Follows Ills Father's
Condition. Leo Lung On, a Chinese tr.o has been
In business in Omaha as a merchant for
fifteen cr ' more years, and now located
at Thirteenth and Chicago streets, has
been ordered deported back to China by
United States Commissioner Anderson.
Leo Lung On came to America some fif
teen years ago as a child of 11 years, hav
ing been sent for by his father, who was
a legal resident of this country, living here
on a laborer's certificate. It Is held by
the government that Leo Lung On, though
a minor, has no right In the country under
the exclusion laws, on the ground that
the child though a minor held the same
status as his father In the mstter of em
ployment on his original entry Into the
country, and was hence a laborer In every
sense of the term, notwithstanding that
he Immediately entered the vocation of a
merchant.' Or In other words, he could
not come into the country as a member of
the prohibited "labor", class without a cer
tificate and then engage In a privileged
vocation that would entitle him to remain
here. Numerous authorities were cited sub
stantiating the position taken by the gov
ernment, snd Judge Anderson taking this
view of it ordered deportation. Leo Lung
On gave bond In 6300, having taken an Im
mediate appeal In the case to February 9,
when this with the four other deportation
cases will be passed upon by Judge Munger.
The cases of Ling Smlng and Lee Yee
have been continued to February 14 to
permit the attorneys for the Chinamen to
secure certain depositions and duplicate
certificates from Oregon.
