his part In Improving and beautifying tils
home city and his surroundings. A city Is

ing their homo surroundings our city will
be enu of the most beautiful spots In the
west. Huch effort and results will make us
happier and more healthful and more pa
triotic. And as the spring Is here, when

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.

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

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. Only the

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

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

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
