and the brown diamond Is moro becoming to tbo brown-eyed maiden.
"Isn't it too bad that business men, and those who can afford to buy
beautiful gifts, are not moro artistic?" said a well known Jowolor to mo
this morning. A man came In yesterday unu nsKcd to look at tiio choicest
laTalllcrs; ho wanted It mostly diamonds and set In platinum, but ho wanted
a largo stono of some coior in the center for contrast. 1 asked him what
kind of Jewel ho wlstied: ho did not socm to know, ho I asked him If It was
for a blue-eyed or nrown-oyed woman. Ho said ho had novor noticed,
rrhnn t nuked hlra what color gowns sho usually wore. 'Well, I nover
notlcod that, either I sold him a ruby becauso It was red," said the Jew
pier, "but I do hope sho hasn't buttermilk eyes."

Bull Moosers Back
from Conference
The three Omaha delegates to the na

cago In the early part of the week have
returned, and wvy they are pleased with
tho conference. O. U 13. Kllngbell Just
returned, while the othera got back ear
lier In the weok. Mr. Kllngbell aaya Uiero
were 1.2C0 delegates at tho conference, He
believes one of tho most Important ac
tions taken by the conference was that
providing for the recall of national com
mitteemen of the party when they do not
perform their duties satisfactorily. He
says the moving of the headquarters from
Chicago to New York was a measuro
adopted because New York waa tho log
ical place for tho headquarter of tho
party alnce It Is near to. tho homo of
Colonel ltooaevolt, who must necessarily
be tho guiding light In tho movement!
of the party. He says there Is no ground
for pronouncing this moving of headquar
ters u victory for Terklns.

To do away with the loss of thousands
of dollars a year, which the county has
suffered for- yearn tlirough .unsystomatlo
ariu unbusinesslike dispensation of charity
the Board of County Commissioners has
created tho offJco of administrator of
charity. The entire work will be placed
In his 'hands and ho will be responsible,
for efficient management of the depart
ment of charity. IUs: J. M. Leldy of
Bancroft, formerly superintendent of tho
Omaha district of tho Nebraska Antl
Saloon league, waa appointed to the ofy
flee. IUh salary will be $128 a month.
He will tako up his work next Monday.
TJio nctlon was taken after John C.
Lynch, chairman of tho board, had sub
mitted a lengthy report on county dis
pensation of charity, tha last paragraph
of the report containing a recommenda
tion for the appointment of an admin
istrator. Mr. Lynch' report notes that the county
hospital Is overcrowded and while many
of tho Inmates are worthy objects of
charity, many othera aro more or less
unworthy. Many men are remaining there
In Idleness, being provided with a tlv
lug. 'when they are able to work. While
they may not bo ablo to support them
selves entirely, they am able to do
some work which to aom extent would
reduce tho cost of their care by the

Tor such as these Mr. Lynch recom
mandsmonds the establishment pf a work
house. Here persons pattiully ablo to
support themselves would be given op
portunity to perform what light labqrs
they could.
At present, says the report, there are
4M Inmates of the county hospital and
farm. A large percentage of theso are
able to work. Many are unworthy of
charity. This Is duo to the haphazard
method of committing persons to the hos
pital. !jlr. Lynch finds further that tho pre
ence of many unworthy persons In tho
nospltal aggravates tho Inadequacy of
the hospital, which would bo scrlrfus
enough at best. Thero ts no provision for
the care of certain cases of dlfease.

The county pays the Associated Chari
ties $60 a month with which tp pay house
rent for Indigent poor; also It pays the
Charities $400 a year for offlco rent. The
Associated Charities have cooperated
wUh the county to the extent of in
vestigations of petitions for help. While
this has beon satisfactory In same .ways
hi othora not. DouhtIea the plan has
protected the county against some im
position", but it has not protected the
county against nearly all. The method
has given the county uo set of records
of charity objects which might be kent
for future reference.
Figures on cost of charity for the county
show that In the first ten months of WIS
the cost was 13.700. whllp the cost for
tho entire year Mil was but $3,(00, and
this despite the fact that several hundred
dollars was saved this year by rloslng the
