If the city ever acquires the water works

Before a fair-sized audience of repre
sentative Omaha men and women at the
Ftrst Methodist church Monday evening,
Mrs. Marian A. White of Chicago de
livered a very Interesting and Instructive
lecture on "Charles Plckena, His Life and
Works." Mrs. White Is an English woman
by birth, and wsb intimately associated
with the great English author during the
early part of her childhood. In the course
of Rer lecture she showed that she had
made a thorough study of the works and
the characteristics of ttie English novelist
and manifested an appreciation for his
worka, not only from a literary stand
point, but also from the artistic side,
which ia strongly in evidence In all of
Dickens' books.
Mrs. White commenced at the very boy
hood of the author and took the audi
ence through his early life and poverty,
from the time that he worked In a black
ing factory for hla livelihood, when he
saved money enough each week that he
might visit his mother and father, who
had been Imprisoned for their debts, she
brought the audience from these scenes
of the childhood of the now Immortal man
all through until he achieved his final
triumph and became famous as a writer.
The speaker brought Into prominence also
the newspaper career of Dickens, when he
served aa a reporter on the Morning Tele
graph. It was here, too. that Mra White
took occasion to crltlclae the newapaper
of these modern times, and urged that the
public press of today should strive to
emulate the early work of Charles
Dickens. In the advocation of better con
ditions among the masses of the country.
Mrs. White also told of a number of
personal experiences which she can re
member of Dickens In her old London
home.

Talk at a rtl Beaaloa of
(he Clah.
The meeting of the North Omaha Im
provement club last night was wholly of
a social character and the carrying out
of a very agreeable program, musical and
literary, with an address by Julius Cooley
on the subject of 'Science and Art of
Decorative Environment and Its Mental
and Moral Influence I"pon the Community "
In the absence of the club officers, J. B.
Scar.nell acted as master of ceremonies.
The program opened with a mandolin and
guitar duet by the Frankfurt brothers and
was followed with a reading hy Mra. W.
A Challls w!-h the story of a "Mustard

detective force. Bang "Sleep, My Baby,"
a lullaby refrain, with excellent effect,
and for an encore sang a comic number.
He Wore a Worried Look," with local
characters worked Into the song with
amusing effect. Captain Dunn has a fine
baritone voice, and to many of hla friends
this was the first Intimation that he was
a vocalist of any pretensions, hnce the
surprise was both pleasing: and gratifying.
The fourth number was an excellent tenor
solo by Clarence Miller, and for an encore
he sang Balfe's "Tou'Il F.emember Me"
with equal pleasing effect.
Judge Cooley expressed his pleasure and
admitted that he had expected to be
called upon to address a gathering of
heavily-burdeneTl taxpayers rather than a
merry May party. His talk was optimistic
In the extreme. He said he believed that
with Omaha adopting the suggestions that
he would make during his address there
was no reason why It should not become
a town of l.OflO.OOO Inhabitants In the not
very remote future. These suggestions
were to elect city officials of brains, patriot
ism and honesty, a better street car ser
vice, reduction of telephone and gas rates,
compel contractors for city Improvements
to live tip to their contracts, make perma
nent sidewalks throughout the city, free
baths and swimming pools, free emer
gency hospital, toilet rooms, fire proof
theaters and hotels, remove Immoral sur
roundings from public school structures,

ment offices, rescue home for erratic girls,

gressional district, all offices made elective,
fire and police board elected by the peo
ple, civil servloa examination for all city

city, substation libraries that books may
be a necessity and not a luxury, city board
of arbitration for adjustment of labor

of Jury to find verdict, a continental in
stead of a Puritanical Sabbath, clean
streets, and the election of a man to the
United States senate from Omaha who has
done something for the city In the forty
years that he has lived here and built op
one of the mighty papers of the west and
who Is in the confidence of the leading
men of the country and who has always
been the champion of the people.
The Judge's remarks were greeted with
applause, especially the remarks referring
to the Qualifications for a Vnited States
senator.
Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Orattan sang a duet,
to which they responded with an encore,
and the formal program closed with an
other number by the Frankfurt brothers.
Then the floors were cleared of chairs
snd the remainder of the evening was
given over to the young people for a dance,
which was continued until nearly midnight.

The general committee meeting of the
council yesterday afternoon did not yield
fruit of any sort. It was decied to take
up the proposed ordinance to forbid non
resident plumbers to do business In Omaha
and several other matters next week; also
for the council to adjourn until Wednes
day night, because the legal depart
ment desires to be on the safe side, owing
to Memorial day being the day of the reg
ular meeting. Persons .expected to object
to the ward divisions did not sppear and
the solons dispersed after a few minutes'
mild confab. Acting Mayor Zlmman says
he will oppose the section of the ordi
nance creating the office of street commis
sioner, which provides for a J1.500 a year
clerk, besides a $1,000 timekeeper. Zimman
Is willing to have one clerk In the office,
hut says flatly that there is not enough
work to keep two busy.

of poets and scholars which U working to
gather together and preserve the old songs,
fairy lore and legends of the country. The
program given by Mr. and Mrs. Kelly
chimed with their patriotic spirit.
Many of the songs were old friends and
were hailed with the deepest enjoyment.
Others were unfamiliar, but none the less
delightful and Interesting. Of Mr. and
Mra. Kelly's work it la lmpoaslble to sneak
except In worda of warmest praise There
have been few among the professional
singers who visited Omaha this winter
that did work as artistic and Intelligent.
Mrs. Kelly's rich, clear, soprano was
most effective In "She In Far from the
Land Where Her Toung Hero Sleeps."
"The Llnte Red Lark." "The Leprahaun"
and "Lovers In Plenty." There was much
chance for rhanges In tone color and also
for pianissimo work. She took full ad
vantage of her opportunities.
It Is difficult to speak In moderation of
Mr. Kelly's singing. He haa mastered the
mechanical part of his art absolutely.
With his temperament and Intellect there
It little left to wish for in the matter of
Interpretation. His voice Is not of great
natural beauty, but he makes up for this
In every possible way. The two street
songs "Lilllburlero" and "The Shan
Van Voght" (17!) were given with a spirit
and-swing which was contagious. "Love's
Despair," the lament of the young Irish
man whose sweetheart deserted him on the
eve of her wedding day, gave the best op
portunity for a dramatic interpretation.
This song was the most effective one on
the program. "The Kerry Iiance" (by re
quest) Mr. Kelly gave in an inimitable
manner. Also that fine old song. "Father
O'Flynn." The quaintest and most pe
culiar song of the evening was from Miss
Galwey's collection. It was oalled "Over
Here," and has a vague, unfinished ca
dence. "The Ninepenny Fidll" is a fa
miliar bit of writing and Mr. Kelly gave
it a delicious interpretation.
At tbe close of the program were the
originals of three vocal known modern
sotigs, "Bendemeer's Stream," "The Harp
that Onoe Thro' Tara's Halls" and "Be
lieve Me if All Those Endearing Toung
Charms." They are taken almost note tor
note.
A duet, "Isle of Beauty," ended tSe even
ing of song and " Kaf to "' the
audience was sorry when the program was
over. M. I. L.

Two colored men named Bam Majors and
Charles Plllard got Into a dispute yester
day afternoon over some beer near the

SlOfX CITT, la.. May 28. (Special Tele
gram.) Heavy rains last night did muck
damage In Sioux City suburbs and vicin
ity. A cloudburst on the divide north of
the city filled Perry creek and tha Floyd
river to their banks. All of the country
was deluged, a large amount of grain arid
some stock being lost. Bridges were swept
sway, street car tracks torn up and soma
small and unsubstantial buildings de
stroyed by the storm.. Fearing that thera
might be s repetition of the flood of 1192,
when many lives were lost, people moved
out of their houses In the lowlands to the
hilla. The fact that the cloudburst oc
curred on the divide, however, turned tha
wster Into both Perry creek and the Floyd
liver, both combining to carry the water
off with comparative little loss.
