And as the spring Is here, when the rubbish that Is gathered during the winter should be removed and when per sons naturally turn to cleaning up for the rummer, and on request of the Omaha Improvement league and many other good cltliens, and deeming It advisable, I, there fore, as mayor of the city of Omaha re- 2uest that on Saturday the 23d and Satur ay the 8mh day of March of this year you and each of you lay axldo your ordi nary cares and labor and turn your atten tion to the cleaning up of yards, alleys, vacant lots, removing of tin cans, ashes and other debris and rubbish and doing whatever will help to make our city clean. healthful and beautiful and attractive. JAMES C. DAHLMAN, Mayor. This proclamation is one result of ths meeting Thursday of the Omaha Improve ment league. It made the request of the mayor that he lend his official prestige to the crusade. At a preliminary meeting of the Omaha Improvement league held yesterday after noon In the Edward Crelghton Institute, Saturday of this week was decided on far a general cleaning up of the city. Should the weather that day not be propitious, the following Saturday will be the date; or If some are unable this Saturday to do the necessary cleaning up, the work may be finished the following Saturday or between the two Saturdays. These Saturdays were selected that there may be a general and popular movement In the matter of ridding yards and alleys of rubbish. It Is explained that If each one does his or her part the results will be amazing and Omaha will be a better place in which to live. Annual Meeting of l.eng-ne. The regular annual meeting of the Omaha Improvement league will be held in the Edward Crelghton Institute at 4 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, March 26, when officers for the year will be elected. committees appointed and definite plans for the year agreed on. It Is requested that all Interested in the work of the league attend this meetlnjf and become Identified with the movement of making the waste places of Omaha blossom as the rose and Im proving those places which are already at tractive. The big feature of the league work is Interesting the children of the city to beautify their home yards by planting flowers and shruba and to learn to be use- Second Floor Opening Mondaj Second Floor Opening Monday BRANDOS' BEAUTIFUL and EXCLUSIVE SPRING HATS Such a broad variety of the season's correct styles are to bo found here that you can be easily suited.

I,ast sof- son's work of the league was signally suc cessful and this year promises more. Seeds for Sale. April 1 literature will be distributed through the various schools calling atten tion to pupils and parents to the fact that packages of seeds will be sold by the league at 1 cent per package, as was done last season, when over 30,000 packages were thus distributed. Orders are taken and filled through the school teachers and cards for those entering the competitions are clr. culated through the same medium. Last year pi lies were given by wards for the best Improved yards and the division for the best Improved vacant lots was made north and south of Podge street. This year, It has been suggested, that all prizes be awarded by scnool districts, of which there are about forty-five, counting both public and parochial schools. Another Incentive for the children this year will be the announcement that the Douglas County Agricultural society has promised to offer prizes for the children exhibiting In the Ak-Sar-Ben fair, thus giving children two opportunities for re wards for their work. Prizes entered for Ihe agricultural society will be governed by the same rules an will apply to the Improvement league. The league considers more how much a yard or lot has been Improved rather than the actual appearance at the close of the competitive season. Jodsre Sntton at Meeting. Judge Sutton of the Juvenile court at tended yesterday's meeting and was im pressed with the co-operative possibilities of the league In the way of Interesting the children In work which will tend to lead them away from temptation and misdeeds. So impressed has the Judge become with the league work he will endeavor to or ganize a league In South Omaha, where on April 1 he will hold a first meeting to Interest citizens In the movement. "During my work with the Juvenile court I have had many occasions to notice that children have gone wrong because they did not have something to interest them Ihey were Idle," Judge Sutton suid. A meeting of some of the members of the league was held yesterday morning at the home of Mrs. Draper Smith. At that meeting It was arranged to Invite Miss A. E. Hoefer, who has charge of the publto play grounds In New York City, to speak In Omaha April 8 on the subject of play ground work and give some practical dem onstrations with local young women. Miss Hoefer is said to be an authority In her line of work. She is an expert In kinder garten work as well. This is the beginning of the fifth year of the league in Omaha. In each of the four years the league has been In Omaha $."00 has been given In prizes to the children. lAst year nearly 1,700 entered the compe titions. W. W. Slabaugh is the present president, while Miss R F. McCartney la secretary. The annual meeting of the Toung Women's Christian association will be held Tuesday evening, April t, at the associa tion rooms In the Paxton block. Miss Agnes Ward, membership secretary of the association, has tendered her resignation, to go Into effect Immediately after the an nual meeting. Miss Ward has been with the local association, for the last four years anil has been one of the most efflcient secretaries on the stuff. No arrangement has yet been mode regarding her suc cesor. Indications are that. In spite of the 700 expirations that occur this month, the association will close Its year with 2,0iW members enrolled on Its books. The "get two" banquet announced for next Monday evening proved so popular that It will be necessary to have another on Monday evening, April 1, as all desiring to come could not be accommodated. Over 800 tickets have been Issued for the first banquet, and the second will probably be as large, which means about 400 membui. ships from these two occasions. The women are renewing well, too, and there Is little doubt that the year will close with no loss In membership. Interest In Peace Conference. Club women have long been Interested In the peace conference, and at the meeting of the Nutlonal Peace conference to be held In New York City April 14 to 18 women will have a conspicuous part. Tuesday morning, April 10, the session will be pre sided over by Mrs. Anna Garlin Spencer and the speakers will be Miss Jane Addams of Hull house. Chicago; Mrs. KUen M. Ilenrotln of Chicago, ex-president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs; Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead of Boston, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe of Boston, that pioneer In the movement for peace confer ences, and Mrs. Frederick Nathan of New York of" the National Consumers' league. They are a distinguished group of women, representing the foremost movements of the day for the betterment of women and of society. Mrs. May Wright Sewell, former president of the International Coun cil of Women, will be a guest of honor at the session. Third District Clubs. The clubs of the Third district of the Nebraska Federation of Women's clubs will hold their annual convention rt Stanton on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Mrs. W. E. Red of Madison Is district vice president and has charge of the pro gram. The Third district Is one of tho largest of the state and its annual meet ings are always Important. Mrs. II. L. Keefe, present president of the state fed eration, was vice president of the Third district for two years previous to election to her present office. Indiana (ilve 'Woman a Chance. The Indiana legislature has recently pawed a bill aiming at the Increased em clenoy of the boards of trustees of the state penal and benevolent Institution. By this raw act women will be given liberal representation in controlling the charities of the state. The boards of the girls' In dustrial school and women's prison will continue to be. as has been the case, com posed of women only and their superintend ents will be women. In addition to this, In future one member of the board of the state school for the feeble minded and of the board of tlie Knightstown orphanage may be a woman. Club Women and Aigrettes. Mrs. Decker says: "The club women wear aigrettes and dead birds, not because they are cruel or heartlens, nor because they are vain and selfish, but for the sole reason that they allow the milliners and hutmakers to do their thinking. Suppose we use our own mentality and taste for the next eighteen months, so that the rec ord of the Boston biennial, as pertaining to head adornment, will bo one of life, not death." Mrs. Catt on Suffrage. At the closing luncheon of the season of the National Society of New England Women, held recently In New York, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, vice president of the National American Woman Suffrage asso ciation, gave an address on "Women of Today," in which she said: "While the scientists were quarreling over whether woman had any brains to develop, she marched steadily forward, and Is now ready to vote because he learned that the solution of the problems that come Into her home with tiv gasplpe, electric wires and mall service lies In the ballot box." Cltr Mission Classes. The City Mission Is preparing to eloae part of Its work for the summer the last of this month. The boys' Industrial class, under the direction of Miss Potter, will close Its work with an egg rolling the Saturday before Easter. The mothers' cl&sne supported by the Women's Chris tian Temperance Union will close the last Thursday of March. The children will hold their Easter exercises Sunday afternoon, March 3L NONE TO FUNERAL OF WINT Local Army Officers Will Not Attend Obsequies, Though Mourn Ins; Their Loss. Owing to the fact that the late Brigadier General T. J. Wint had severed his official relations with the Department of the Mis souri last December and hence bad no offi cial connection with the department at the time of his death. It Is not probable any of the staff officers St Omaha will attend the funeral. Colonel Cunllffe H. Murray of the Eleventh cavalry and commandant of the post at Fort Dea Moines has already gone to Philadelphia to be present at the fu neral. Colonel Murray and General Wlnt were very close personal friends, having served together as subaltern officers for many years. Colonel Murray was also Gen eral Wlnt's chief of staff during the army maneuvers at Fort Riley In 19mi. The officers at army headquarters In Omaha have not yet been Informed of the funeral arrangements, but It Is thought the body of General Wlnt may be burled at his old home In Bi rant on. I'a., from where h first entered the army as a volunter pri vate soldier In October, lStil. A feeling of gloom and sadness pervades department headquarters over the death of General Wlnt. He was personally beloved I by every officer and attache of the army building and his sudden death comes to u& of them as a isrsuusi bareavemeat. COMING TO A BAD END Famous Island of St. Helena Over run with Rats and the. Termite. The Island of St. Helena seems doomed to come to a bad end; at lest, as a place of residence. Rats have overrun It to the point that the government has offered a penny for every rat's tall taken to head Quarters. But that Isn't the worst thing. The ter mite has attacked Jamestown Itself. Woe to the town that becomes Infested with this Insect. Once the houses have been Invaded, millions upon millions Of the Uttle antlike creatures set to work to per forate beams, flooring, panelling and furni ture with an Infinite numner of Interior tunnels, of the existence of which the occu pants have not the slightest suspicion until everything collapses like a house of cards. The termite Is a worker in the dark and respects only the exterior of the objects It attacks. The most solid looking table may In reality be but a thin shell of wood which will crumble beneath your fingers the mo ment you have touched It. The very perch uin which your parrot Is standing may be but the semblance of a solid support and will one day or other give way beneath the astonished bird. At Tonnay-Charente, where many houses were completely undermined, the dining room floor of one of them suddenly gave way one evening while the master of the house was giving a dinner party and pre cipitated both himself and his guests Into the cellar. At Rochelle the termites took possession of the prefecture and the ar senal and their presence was not discovered until they had devastated the government offices, the official apartments, the court yard and even the garden The archives were almost completely destroyed, the ter mites having tunnelled the woodwork, pierced boxes and portfolios and eaten most of the administrative documents.

Uko bees and wasps, the various specks of termites form a fascinatln object of study. The members of the colony consist of a queen, a mate insect, soldiers and workers. Tho soldiers, which are In the mmnrtty, are charged with the defense of the home. Their head is almost a large as the re mainder of their body. Their croased man dibles are very powerful. I.Ike the workers, they are blind. Hut they are well afcle to attend to their role ct defendtr, as the natives of termite In fesltd countries well know. As soon as an attak Is made on the neat the soldier ter mites rush forth and throw themselvws upon Uie atfrvaur who, Uiugs wlUtout number, have retreated with bleedln legs and feet. Even Europeans do not always escape uninjured. If the attack Is repulaed the soldiers strike a succession of sharp blows on the ground. At this signal the workers assem ble, and under a strong guard repair what ever danuitte hu been done to the nest. Their prlnc.pal duty, however. Is to attend on the queen and bring up the incredible number of young. This queen is the object of the most ex traordinary solicitude on the part of every nembr of the colony. t Yet she Is a pris oner, a closely guarded captive from the moment she has taken up her burdon until tile day of her death. Her cell Is the largest single habitation In Uie whole best. 11 Is several luthts In length, but a few inches in height, and con tains Just enough room for her and her fel low prisoner, the male termite, to inuvu about. The soldier Is double the length of a worker snd weighs as murji as fifteen workers. The male weighs as much as tlilrty workers. The queen, who sometimes measures aa much as sevmt InWirs, i equal In weight to 8,0J workers. Bhe Is kept pretty busy, laying sixty tggi per second tlutt Is to Wiy, about M; i kk pr day. It Is these efiga that the workers setae as soon as laid and carry ff to Uiu nurseries, where they are hatched, much In the same way as the egga of the quuen bee. And thus In time a fresh swarm ct termites leaves the nest anj forms a now colony for tUell. I'ull liall Gazette.
