An stance in illnstration of this oceurred the other day. A well-known magazine writer desired to produce an article on the domestic homes of some of the well-known senators and representatives, flc employed an artist to photograph some of the houses in which these magnates live—not for the pur- pose of criticism, butto_illustrate the ideas which he intended to write, WHEN THE ARTIST POSED 1118 CAME in front of the house of a widely known western member of congress, the statesman discovered him from his library, He is a wealthy man and Jlives i great grandeur, Like aflash of lightuing the ‘idea occurred (o Db that the man with the camera was an emisary of some newspaper correspondent intended to inform his' constituents of his beantiful house and expensive surroundings, At took that congressman but a minute to stand beside the artist, who adjusted the plates in the camera and proceeded to get a good focus on the house just the same, “Man, what are you doing her claimed the congressian, o, suid the artist, “photographing your house. “What for?” “A man wants (o have & ent made of the place.” . “If you don't get away from here 1 break every bone in your body,"” excl the congressman in a'r ‘The artist put his hands on his sides and demonstrated to the congressman that it was not jusy the proper thingto doas it was simply a professional vatter with that if he had any grievaiee Le should go to the man who employea him to do the pho- tography. ‘T'he statesman reflected, tto the employer and so the matter on IT DEVELOR:S THAT GEORC son of Jay Gould, v fairs before he was mairied “to don last summer, 1In hin old lover of Ada Itel Ada oue of the stars at Daly’s theater in New York, She is stately, winsome and highly accomphshed.

POOLS 1N MORSE RACES, About two years agn a very vigorous fight was begin by some of the well disposed peo- vle of Washington acainst the inordi practice here of seiling bools on horse races, hase ball games, slugging matches, ete, A bill was introduced incongress making it a penal offense and obligatory upon police of- ficers to execute the law. [t was the deter- mination of these good people to completely radicate this dissipation which has been leading government officers to default, pri- vate citizens to go into bankruptey and Tuined characters to suieide, The pool rooms of the nation’s capital have been fo! wany years the most attractive places in the eity during certain_ seasons, covering mostly from the 15t of May to the latter part of Oc tober and affecting regattas, races and all the sports. Some astonishment was expressed soon after the bill appeared in congress at the slow and timid manner in which many of those who were presumed to be its friends ook hold of it. It rests quietly in committee roois and is not likely to be exhumed. ©In conneetion with the failure of the pool selling prohibition billa young man who has lost a ¢ood deal of the hard earnings of his father in these excesses tells our correspon- dent that hie knows the secret of the bill’s fail- ure. It sounds improbable,but I give it for what itis worth, not vouching for its truthtulness. He says the pool sellers rajsed a fund soon atter the bill was introduced, in*duplicate_in each Louse of congress, amonnting to $3,350, Each of the pool sellers subscribed 8§10 a month o keep up the warfare for the sup- itession of the ure. ‘Thomouney and the unds were placed in the hands of a com- mittee clerk or messen, This individual is intimate with a number of gentlemen who control many measures in congress and who are called upon to pass upon them on_ the two floors, The poker rooms of the city— thiere are probably fifty of them—each con- tributed a sum_for the “jack pot,” to be placed in congress are foremost in keenine up the regnlar assessment to keep down | istation, It is the priueipal business of this clerk or messenger, who has charge of the orruption tund to mduee senators and mem- Dets to visit certain club rooms or eard places where they are engaged in games of clianee, treated safliciently and courted to bring about the suppression of the bill, MOREILL AND THE TABIFF 1tis said that Senator Morrill had in the cost to certain manufacturing inter the couutry, and mining development for the mainenaico of the present tarifl system, when he introduced in the senate the other day his resolution against tariff agitation at the present session of coueress. About twenty or thirty intere aflected directly by the tandl, keep steadily employed in ashington attorneys or their represent- atives for the purpose of maintaining their interests inthe status of the present legisla- tion. Thatis, they are to prevent, if possi- ble, a reduction of” the tariff, or change which would be injurions fo the interests they represent. I is safe to say that each of these twenty or thirty men is paid an aver- age of 52,000 a year, 1t is known that eicht or ten of them et as much as $5,000 a ye: Add to this the expense of sending here every year or two a legation or an officer of the corporation or a private inaividual repre- senting his own interests, and it ean be seen that the cost is very material to the people in- terested in maintaining the present tarift laws.

Some of the latter exploded when the roof and tloors fell in. The fire orizinated in the falling of the fourth tloor which was over- burdened with heavy stock, ‘There were seventy-five employes”in the building at the time, but all were accounted for excepting three, They were believed to be uninjured; for they were cmployed on the ground floor and hait a good chanee to escape. Several of the men received slizht injury in the way of bruises and cuts, but of those who have reported none are seriously hurt, The firm dealt largely in sporting goods, pistols and small amunition, and dur- ing the tive there was an active fusitade by exploding cartridges which created some alarm in the crowd present, but nobody is known to have been struck by stray bullets, The reports that dynamitecartridges had also xploded seems to have been unfounded, he house carried s heavy stock valued at the present time at £500,000, What part of this, if any, can be saved 15" not known, but the probabilities are that itis all ruined, The in- Surance amounts to $300,000 and is distributed amoag 100 companies, chietly eastern and foreign, in sums ranging from $2,500 10 £5,000, e The Dillon Case. *DinLiy, Dee. 11.—The case of the govern- ment against John Dillon for agitation in favor of the Irish National league's “‘plan of compaign,” was brought up for hearing to-day.

THE OMAHA A DENIAL, Brotherhood Engineers Will Not Join the Knights of Labor, Prrrsnvne, Dee, 1L—The reports that have been in circulation for several days to the effect that the engineers of the Pennsyl- vania failrond company were joining the Knights of Labor is pronounced untrue by members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Enginecers. In commenting npon the rumor to-day one of the engineers sald: *Such a report is actually ridiculous, and shows how little some people know about two organiza- tions. The Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers s the strongest and most exclusive labor organization in the country. Why, we would not even attend a convention of trades assemt blies at Columbus, ‘The Knights of Labor would be very much pleased to have us join their order. But I can tell you this much sitively: * ‘The engineer who_becomes a night of Tabor must leave the Brotherhood ot Locomotive Engineers. He eannot belong to both organizations. But you may be sure none of our members are going to desert the brotherhood, The cngineers are growing stronger every day, as was shown when " a new division —was orzanized last week. It would be ridiculous for us to join the Knights of Labor. We would have to assist them i every litule troublo which might arise among their un- skilled workmen, They tried to get us to join them in their strike at St. Louis, but they failed, as you well know.” Said o brakeman who was standing near I can also say that the brakemen will not join the Knights of Labor. They ate well enough satisfied with their own oryaniza- tion, the Brotherhood of Brakemien. ot i THE TRADES FEDERATION, Yesterday the Last Day of the Meeting at Columbus, Corvanus, 0., Dec. 1L—At the afternoon session of the new trades federation a reso- lution was adopted that while they favored eight bours for a day's work, and believed it would be ultimately adopted, it was first nec- essary to secure nine hours in all branches of trade working ten hours, and then to reduce still further. The conference comittee t met the Knights of Labor committee submit- ted a written report purporting to contain what was said and done at Friday’s session, It said there had been no agreement that the Knights of Labor had refused to reconsider the trades union treaty, and recommena that the executive council of the newly organized federation issue an address to the public on the subject of the differences between the orzanizations. ‘The constitution ~adopted forms a new federation on a much similar basis to the Knights of Labor, placing the power in an_executive council, consisting of the five officers elected, who are as follows: Sumuel Gompers, of New York, presiden Georze Harris, of Pennsvlvania, vice presi dent; J.

For Nebraska and Iowa: Fair weather: cold e Dr. Haughawant's Statement. A reporter saw Dr. Haughwant in refer- ence to the suit which was decided against him in Justice Hesley’s court Thursday, He considers that the statement in the Berk that he was bound over in the sum of $300to keep the peace is very unjust, and does not fairly state the case. In the first place, there has been no oceasion, he says, for such a bond, as he has not been guilty of one discourteous word or act toward the plaintiff. ‘I'he fact of the matter is, that the bond is to prevent him from taking down a storm_door at the street entrance of | , which e has produced witnesses 10 is a detriment to his business, After repeatedly ana politely asl ing the plaintifl to take the door down, giv- ing good reasons for asking it, he found it necessary 10 have the door taken down him- self, It was promptly replaced by plaintiff, Taking legal advice, the doctor took the door dowu again, whereupon the plaintiff replaced it, and now has a robust neero with a club aiarding it. ‘This to the further detriment of the doctor’s business. ‘The doctor says that the animus of the plaintifi’s action in this case is an offer from one of his competitors of a higher rental, and that there cannot be any other just cause as- signed for her keeping two sets of storm doors in the hallway when the mercury stands at sixty-five to seventy degrees ahove, says that at the beginning of the trouble, when he was first arrested and the case was before the police court, after hearing the Iplaintiff’s statewent only, the judge promptly dismissed the case, Omaba C, L. 8.

DAILY BEE: SI'ND;\Y.’* PECEMBER 1 LEAVENWORTH STREET GRADE, Additional Cuts and Fills Proposed to Make the Street a Thoroughfare. An ordinance is now. pending before the city council providing for changing the grade of Leavenworth street Tram Sixteenth street to the city limits, QA public meeting for, the purpose of consid- ering the changes proposed has been called for Monday evening at Porter Bros." store, at the corner of Phil Sheridafi and Leavenworth streets, A reporter of the Brg, for the purpose of ascertaining the nature and estent of the changes proposed, called upon City Attorney Connell, who is largely interested as a prop- erty owner. Mr. Connell, fn response to the inquiries made, stated in substance as fol- lows: “Yes, Lam interested in the crade posed, which seriously affects my proper and makes a cut of thirteen feet opposite my ground in addition to the twelve feet cut already existing, but notwithstanding this, L believe the grade a good one, and will favor it, if adopted before I make aaditional im- nrovements. I have seen the result of a_bad grade on St. Mary’s avenue, and do not wish 10 see the mistakes made upon the avenue re- peated on Leavenworth street, which 1 be- ieve can be made one of the best business thoroughfares in the city 1.do not hold myself responsible, however, for the bad grade on St. Mary's avenue, for the fact is, [always favored making a radical cutat the top of the hill, proyided a correspond- ingfill was made atthe Twenticth street interseetion, which would not only have greatly benefitted the avenue, but -~ would have “much improved =~ T'wenticth street. As it mow is, St. Mary’s avenne from T'wentieth street to the upper end of the avenue will never be business property, and thoueh travel will nevergo up and down that hill, if a good grade 18 made upon some other through “street. Leavenworth street s the street of all others, which best accommodates through travel, and although the cutsand fills proposed are somewhat tadical, but fow substantial improvements have yet been made, The proposed eut at Parke avenue of six fect, the proposed fill at Colorado streot of eight feet, and the proposed cut of th n feet opposite my property and estending eastward to Twenticth street, are reasonable chances and are essential and necessary to make a good grade, and will not only double the value of property along Leavenworth street, but willheneht the entire property in the southwest portion of the city. When these ehianges are made Leaven- worth street will have the best grade of any street extending westward out of the city T addition to greatly benefitting prope on Leavenworth strect, the grade on nearly every eross street will be decidedly im- proved, motably will this be the case on Twenty-first sfreet, where the cut will be about six feet, South avenue, where the cut will be about'ten feet, ‘I'wentv-tnird street, through McCandish place, where the cut wili be about ten feet, and_Parke avenue, to the north, where the cut will be about six feet, ‘Lhie property on all other cross streets where wess are made will, of course, benefitted by the improved rade of Leavenworth strect, — In fact, every lot, with perhaps a dozen exeeptions, west of xteenth street and south of Leavenworth street, ageregating 1 value upwards of ten million doliars, will be improved and bene- fitted by s of gtade proposed, for, as the result of such changes, Leavenwortt street, which is and will e tae natural hine of travel to and {rom business for the occu- vants and owners ot real estate in the southwest part of the city, Will have a erade from P’arke avenue to Sixteenth street and along Sixteenth and Fifteenth streots to Boyd’s opera house. which ‘wili be a constant descending grade toward the east and north, atno place equaling three feet to the hun- dred. Wiien it is considered that the grade on St. Mary’s avenue is eight feet to each hundred feet, the desirability and beauty of the pro- posed grade of Leavenworth street, which will be without a hillor a hollow, can bett be understood and appreciated. ekt ey FOR YOUNG Physical, Mental, Socialand Rel Advantages Offered by the Y. M. C. A. The Young Men's Christian association looks at the young man from the four sides of his nature and tries to furnish something which will cultivate and develop all his facul- ties. For some years the neiation in Omaha has had a good reading-room, but, since moving to the new rooms in the Will- iams’ block on the corner of Fifteenth and Douglass streets, the reading-room is larger, lighter and more pleasant; the list of papers has also been enlarged so as to comprise dailies from all the larger cities besides the leading magazines of the country, 'The s sociation also holds meetings of a'devotional nature, such as the gospel meeting this after- noon at 4 o'clock, whieh will be held by onc of the young men. Bible class is held every Sunday morning at 9:15 o'clock. The young men’s meeting is held every Thursday even: ing. Special meetings, sich as were held every night of last “week, and which were very interesting and of benelit to a large number of young men are held by the association at infervals. The association also holds a social once a month and is_plan- ning for a erand reception on New Years. Those who have attended these receptions in ears can tell of the pleasure 1o be ned, and this year the committee expect a bigeer time than before, The association has been deficient heretofore in regard to a eymnasium, but a scheme is now on_toot whieli will probably change this and give a good gymuasium where young men can exer- ise, and at a very low cost. George A, Jop- lin, the general seeretary of the association, says that it any young “men will call upon him he will tell them all about it. ‘The asso- ciation has added twenty-five members in the Iast week and new menibers are joing every day. Itextends an invitation to all” youni men, and it will be worth a young man's time to call around and investigate the matter, pr MEN. Real Estate Transfors.
