Mercer riaa Adop1e4. The btird decided upon a start for the route of the north boulevards out of Bemls park by adopting a plan suggested by Pr. 6 I. Merer to have the parkway run west from Bemls park on the north sld of Cu.nlng from Thirty-eighth to Thlrty tilnth streets, thence north to Nicholas street and then through ground owned by the water company in Reservoir addition, to Ifayette avenue. Tit. Mercer agreed to give the land necessary to make tbe boulevard 100 or more feet wide to Nicholas street. If the city ever acquires the water works the commissioners figure It will be easy to get through Reservoir addition for noth ing A plan by Dr. Mercer to make a narrow stub boulevard out of Izard street from Thirty-ninth to Fortieth street was turned down, though the doctor talked manfully a real estate lead on the Boulevard out of Bemis park will go through his lands all the way to Nicholas streets The commissioners do not Intend to follow out I'r. Mercer's plan for a boulevard to the west. Difficulties In the grades for getting out of the park to the north, however. Induced them to agree to the preliminary awing westward before the proposed long double-barrelled boule vards to the north and northwest are con nected up with the park, which will have the Central boulevard coming Into It from the soutk. The remainder of the routea, except In a rough way, remained to be determined upon. The selection mill be governed largely by the surveys being made by the city engineering department. l:4t pm 1:80 pm ! a ratelme.

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. CQOLEY ON A GREATER OMAHA rh Omaha lanarovers Hear a Gaol 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 Plaster" aa the first number and "How Girls Fish" for an encore. Captain Henry Dunn, chief of the Omaha 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, an eight-hour working day. free employ ment offices, rescue home for erratic girls, night schools, free city dispensary for the poor, enforcement of the curfew lawa, a tank line from the oil and gaa fields of Kansas, Interurban railways, short rail way lines to the Dakotas and to the ses coaat. require rallroada to build viadurta over streets without cost to the taxpayers. power canal, city officers for the people rather than for the corporations, certain punishment for grafters and blackmailers, consolidation of Bouth Omaha, Benson, Florence and Dundee into a Greater Omaha, one judicial district, one con gressional district, all offices made elective, fire and police board elected by the peo ple, civil servloa examination for all city employes, public utilities owned by the city, substation libraries that books may be a necessity and not a luxury, city board of arbitration for adjustment of labor trembles, condemnation of grounda for boulevards and parks, t-oent round trip street car rate, service pension for fire men and policemen, unused street car tracks removed from the streets, remodel lng of the Jury system, two-thirds vote 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 passing of Mra. Mary A.

'Shamrocks." last night at the St. Mary's Avenue Con gregational church missed a genuine treut. The program was entirely out of the beaten track, Mr. Kelly having spent many months collecting the typical Irish soncs which he and Mrs. Kelly presented. A brief explanatory talk prefaced each number, which greatly heightened the In terest. In Ireland now there Is a little coterie 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. Darkles tn a Bow. Two colored men named Bam Majors and Charles Plllard got Into a dispute yester day afternoon over some beer near the comer of Twenty-seventh street and Capi tol avenue. IMllard enforced his arguments by striking Majora a blew on hla forehead with a clnb. cutting the fleah to the bone. Majora fell and tn falling suffered a num ber of abrasions about bis face.
