. Though the water company, through Iti
attorney. Halleek P. Rosa, and Stockton
Heth, treasurer, fought the paasage of an
ordinance forcing the water company to
rale water main at Eighteenth and Burt
treataa the meaaure wa passed by unanl
tnoua vote by the city council Saturday
morning at an adjourned meeting.
While laying the Burt street sewer, the
city requested the water company to raise
the water main, but the company refused.
Suit was Instituted In the district court,
where the company won. Later It was ap
pealed to th supreme court, and that body
held that the notice to the company was
Irregular In that It cam from the city
engineer. Instesd of the city council. To
remedy tha defect an ordinance directing
th raising of th main was Introduced in
th council and the officials of the water
ompeny were granted a bearing.
Base contended that the company should
ot be forced to raise th main, saying
that th change would handicap th water
'ompany In serving patrons. He stated
that tha principal water supply to Omaha
was furnished through this main and that
service would have to be discontinued until
th change ,waa completed. He also sa d
- that th expense would ultimately have tj
b bom by th city, as the water com
pany was operating th plant as trustee
for th city. He suggested that th sewer
tould be changed In construction at this
point to meet the conditions.
City Engineer George Cratg opposed the
changing jf the sewer, as :t would cost as
' much. If not more, to make it, than to raise
th main about two feet. As to whether the
city would have to bear th expense, h
contended that It was immaterial. In that
th expense of changing the main would
hav to be paid by the city if decided on.
Craig convinced the members that th or
dinance should be passed.
A resolution diverting $1,000 from th
' lighting fund to a special fund for th
maintenance of the Kmergency hospital
was passed. This action followed tha pas
sag of an emergency ordinance to provide
funds for the hospital, passed last week.
A resolution to change tha grade of
Forty-second street from Lafayette avenue
to Nicholas street prevailed, as did an
other ordering th purchase of eight Iron
garbage wagon boxes, eight wooden lined
boxes, twelve wagon braces and twelve sets
of springs.
The monthly payroll was passed. Th
payroll for day laborers will be passed
Monday morning at an adjourned session.

Fred A. Emery of Washington looks Ilk
a divine, but moat distinctly he I not. He
wa on a visit ta a little town In New
Hampshire when a friend of hi at th
hotel Introduced him to a group of business
men as th Rev. fr. MoCab. Emery fell
In with . th Jok. and his pious looking
fc helped tha thing along. In a short
while ha was lamenting th tendency
among men to disregard the duty of going
to church.
:"Oolf," be said sadly, "and automobile
and other amusements hav supplanted
worship In tha church. This generation Is
deteriorating, and It I th greatest thing
w hav to flghtXthl lack of Interest In
th church."
With that h k saved a windy sigh and
looked Ilk Nlob at her worst
Th business men looked uncomfortable
and agreed with Dr. MoCab. This moved
him to make an appeal.
"Why can't you Mart th reform T" he
asksd, and added enthusiastically! 'How
many of you will promise to com to hear
my aamon tomorrow morning?"
Of oours they all promised. This per
formance was repeated with another group,
and when th thing was all over Emery
had th promise of twenty men that they
would hear this sermon th next morning
at tha ohurch he named.
At ohuroh tlm he stationed himself with
his friend In th vestibule of tha building,
and, as each of to faithful twenty filed In.
JJraery laughed up his sleeve. Thsy saw
him and realised how they had been sold,
but they were too far in to back out, and
they heard th sermon preached by a real
minister. After church they looked for
Xmery.
But h had bean wis. He had taken
a train which ran through th town at a
convenient hour while services were In
progress. Popular Magaslno.

Representative Crumpacker of Indiana
assured Representative Korbly of th same
tat that It was ten minutes to U, "al
though," he added, "my watch may be a
few minutes this side or th other of th
correct tlm."
Tou are not as confident about your
timepiece." said Korbly, "as my friends,
Bishop Chartrand of Indianapolis and
Bishop O'Donagbue of Louis villa, whan
hay compared watches once upon a tlm.
It U Just thro minute to .' said Bishop
C&artrasM.
.""It U exactly four minute and a half
ta .' retorted Bishop O'Ponaghu.
"1 know th exact time.' exclaimed
Bishop Chartrand, 'for rar watch Is one
lu whJoh I have th utmoat faith,'
"Ah, bishop,' replied th prelate from
Louisville, 'we must not hop to succeed
through faith alone. I hav pot only faith
In my watch, but I know of its good
works.' "Washington Post.
A f arptaa to the Pastor,
The Rev. Henry R, Roe tells the story
of a young minister who had only recently
taken charge of a small parish In Vermont
H Mplred to greater thing and a larger
field, and In the bop that hit reputation
would travel beyond the limits of the vll
lag te which he had been sent, he threw
Into bis sermons all th fore and elo
qusao at his command.
11 was, however, totally unprepared for
What 'was Intended for a compliment, but
which was put to him In such a way that
It left hljn la doubt as to the real Ira
preeeloa be bad made.
On Sunday morning, after an especially
brUUaat effort, he was greeted by an old
lady, who was en of th most faithful
attendants at all cervices. Approaching the
young minister, she said:
rV" 'Ah. air. we do enjoy your aarmona an
Jt,.) f much, thsy ar so Instructive. Do you
i. 'believe It, never knew what sin was
. " until you came to the parish,' Newark

Th fifth annual report of th president
of the Carnegie foundation covers the year
ending September . 1!V. The report Is
divided Into two parts. Psrt one pertain
t- th current business of the year and thl
second 1 a discussion of the relation of
the college and the secondary school.
The report shows that the trustees hrd
In hiind at the end of the year funds
amounting to tll.114.0M M. consisting of the
or Rlral gift of $10,000,000 par value of 6
per cent bonds snd tl.non.O00 accumulated
surplus. The Income for the year was
fM,Wl Jo. Purlng the year sixty-four re
tiring allowance .were granted, of which
forty-six wrre In accepted Institutions and
eighteen In institutions not on the accepted
list. During th year twenty-three pension
er died.
Among d stlngulshed teschers who retired
during the year were Prof. Burt O. Wilder
of Cornell, Dean Van Amrlnge and Prof.
Chandler of Columbia, both well advanced
In years snd In academic honors: Prof.
Oeorge L. Ooodale. the famous botanist
of Harvard; Prof. Osborne of tho Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology, who hns
taught mathematics In that Institution
since Its foundation: Chancellor Moc
Cracken of New Tork university! Presi
dent Reel ye of Pmlth college, and Prof.
Calvin M. Woodward of Washington vnl
verslty, St. Louis. These distinguished men
average In age soventy-two years, snd
Illustrate how well the vigor and Influence
of the scholar can be continued to a ripe
maturity.
There were admitted to the accepted list
during the year the University of Cali
fornia, the joint Institutions of the state
of Indiana Indiana university and Purdue
university and Wesleyan university, th
last named a college.
In the first part of the report the presi
dent of the foundation follows up the bulle
tin on medical education by a paper on
The Relation of the University to the
Medical School," in which ha calls atten
tion to th responsibility attaching to sny
college or university which undertake
medical education.
The second part of the report is a careful
attempt to state the existing cause of
friction between the secondary school end
the college, and the loss of educational
efficiency in the present methods of bring
ing pupils from the school to the college.'
Th complaint of th college against th
secondary school and th complaint of th
secondary school against the college are set
forth.
An extremely Interesting part of the re
port is a statement of the observations of
Oxford tutors upon the preparation of the
Rhodes scholars. The strong points In the
American boy's preparation are readily
seen by these tratned teachers, and tha
weaknesses which they find point directly
to the superficiality and diffusion of the
work don in th American secondary
school and college.
Th president of th foundation urges
that this whole question be approached by
secondary school men and college men In
a spirit of co-operation. Neither the certi
ficate method of admission nor the piece
meal examination method have In his
opinion solved the problem. He urges that
the college must find a solution which will
test better than the certificate or the piece
meal examination tha fundamental quali
ties of the students, and which will at the
me time leave to the high school a
larger measure of freedom. He recom
mend a combination of certificate and x
aminatlons, the latter of a simple and
elementary character, but -caning for a
high quality of perfwitiano wlthovit which
the candidate will not be admitted.."' For
example, under this plan the boy who con
not write good Idtomatio English would
not be admitted to college at all, but would
be sent back to the secondary school. The
entrance requirements recently adopted at
Harvard are quite In line with these recom
mendation. The president of the foundation
urges a co-operation between th secondary
school and th college not as unrelated
institutions, but as two parts of a common
system education. He argues that the In
terest of the great mass of high school
students must not b sacrificed to th In
terest of th minority who are looking
toward college." He Insists on a large
measur of freedom for th secondary
school, but on the other hand he argues
that the Interest of the boy who goes to
college and of the boy who goes from the
high school Into business ara alike con
served by learning a few things well, not j
by learning many things superficially. The
boy who has obtained such Intellectual
discipline Is a fit candidate for college,
whether he has studied one set of subjects
or another; without this Intellectual dis
cipline ha la unfit alike for college or busi
ness. It la therefore. In the opinion of the
president of the foundation, the plain duty
of the college, at the present stage of
American ' educational development, to
articulate squarely with tbe four-year high
school and to leave to tha secondary school
the largest freedom so that It may educate
boyg not coach them; but at th same time
to require of the candidate for admission
testa which rest upon high performance
In the elementary studies and which mean
mastery of th fundamentals. In such a
program He th hope of scholarly better
ment and of clvlo efficiency for both
college and high school.
