AMUSEMUNTS, MINNTE MADDERN, The brilliant young actress, Minnie Maddorn, opens a two nights' engage- ment at Boyd's opera house this evening, appearing 1n a few play entitled, “Re- becea, or a Matter of Business.” To- morrow night she will present the popu- Iar play, “Caprice,” for the benefit of Manager Boyd. All great celebrities and people of prominence are marked with some eccentricity or peculiarity which never fails to fall into the hands of the imitator. The latest craze (or wrinkle) is accredited to the great in- genue, Miss Maddern, who has been uni. versally characterized for her natural inn¢ss, modesty and simplicity. Until ntly her business manager, Mr. Fred vhile crossing the company on the Pacific coast, quietly sat in the front row and discovered the twitter. The young ladies everywhere Miss Maddern has appenred have tackled to it, and the settees of many parlors in high life are wanting new springs. The Maddern twitter will be an unavoidable embellish- ment to every well-regulated, newly married couple. It is one of the cutest and cleverest trifling hits seen in a long time, and a credit to any young lady who even' succeeds in giving an_acceptable imitation of Minnie Maddern’s twitter in the third act of “Caprice.” A REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE.

NAMING THE CITY'S OFFICIALS. Webster Confirmed—H. J. Davis Ap- pointed Assistant Attorney— Meaney Retired—The New Board of Public Works. The Council. The first active moeting of the new city council was held last evening with all of the members present. The large audience room of the new council cham- ber was crowded with spectators long before the meeting. Inside the railing that is designed to protect the outsiders from the municipal fathers, were gathered the councilmen and ex-councilmen, Mayor Broatch, the city attorney, city engineer, city marshal. Chairman Hou of the board of public wo! and Mik Meaney were conspicuous. Ex-Mayor Boyd was in attendance. t 8:20 o’clock President Bechel called the council to order and, after roll call announced & message from the mayor, MAYOR BROATCH'S INAUGURAL. {ayor Broatch, who occupied a chair at the chnginm)r's desk, stepved for- ward and read his message to the coun- cil, as follows: ‘To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of Omaha: Gentlemen —In_this, my first message to your honorable body, the few suggestions which 1 have to offer will be made froma purely business standpoint. In entering upon my duties and taking up the mantle which my predecessor has laid aside, I re- alize the difficulties which I have to encoun- ter as the chief executive officor of a rapidly growing and prosperous city, and appreciate the fact that, great as they have been In the past, they must necessarily be greater in the future, T pray that my administration of the trust reposed in e, may be such as to en- title me, at its close, to the” commendation of all good citizens, I am human, and being human I am not infallable. [ may make istakes, and making them invite criticism, s is one of the penalties of office. I pro- pose to execute the laws and your wishes as expressed im your ordinances, in a spirit of conservatism and justice, Some of the ordinances have not been prop- wrly enforced, and In some respects no at- tenipt has been made at even a decent com- phiance. If these ordinances are unjust and discriminating, 1 ask you to repeal them: if, lowevor, they are proper, it is plainly my duty to see that they are observed. 'Ll re- sponaibility is a divided one; it rests equally upon you. From the first time in the history of our state, the machinery of a metropolitan city i to be put in motion, and a grave ity rests upon you as the represe the people, and upon me, the chief ex of this r|t?’. It shall be my exrnest endeavor ithtully consider the interdsts of the and to aid you in maintaining good roument, PUBLIC IMPROVE g Public improvement should not be allowed to lay, but should be carried forward with caution, within lawful limits, mANNCr a3 to seeure perm faction. Unaer the provi charter, the power 1s now gi and council to require water, gas and sewer connections to be made from thestreet mains to the inside of the curb line, in all paving districts, before the work of paving is done therein. Thisis an important addition to the powers of the mayor and council, and one that should be both carefully considered and exercised before entering upon any work of paving, 1tis notonly a serious distigurement, but a permanent in- jury to our pavements to have them cut into and torn up for waler, sewer and gas con- nections immediately after being laid, as has been ghe coustant practice in this city for the past three years. This injury to pavements and annoyance to travel can be argely if not entirely obviated by first con- sidering the pointsat which curb line con- neetions should be made and then requiring them to ba so made before laying down the pavement, Another change in the manner of ordering public improvement which should be observed is that or ug an appraisment of the damages, if any, which way result from grading before entering upon such work, — Hereafter, before any street is or- dered graded, appraisers should be ap- pointed, and the damazes resulting from such grading should be determined. SEWERAGE. The work of sewerage, which so vitally affects the health and comfortof ourcitizens, should receive the most careful consideration, and in prosecutinig tius work it should bé constantly ~kept ~ in mind that we are lnul\"nf for ~a city soon to reach several hundred thousand inhabitants, All mains and pips lines shouid be con- structed of sufficient size to answer for the future as well as for the present time. UNIFORM SIDEWALKS, As the city Is now metropolitan in charac- ter, as well as in name, the sidewalks in the business and central portion of the city should hereafter be required to be con- structed of permanent material, and should be uniform in width and elevation so as to be in keeping with our pavements and other unprovements. AVOID OVERLATS. In making contracts for publie Improve- ments, in providing funds for the maintain- ence of the policeand fire departents, and for the paymient of the officials of otheér de- partments of the city government, care should be taken that when this council ceases to exist there shall be no overlap, have but to eall your attention to the fact that our bondsmeén are responsible with us, for any expenditure excoeding lawful limit b Weare about to organize a matropolitan police. ‘The present force mumbers but thirty-six men, a force, no matter how well disposed, entirely inadequate to afford the protection our city requires. Kans<as City, with an estimated population of 140,000 i~ havitants has at present 107 wen, and it is about to add thirty more 10 its police fore We should have at least, a force of seventy which ean beadded to as the neces- : As the city has extended its limits, embracing twenty-four squara mile there should be several police stations where an adequate foree can bo kept to maintain order and preserve peace. The audience hstened to the reading of the message with marked attention and accepted it in_sience. After the hearing of a number of petitions, the CONFIRMING THE CITY ATTORNEY was brought up by Mr. Haseall, who moved that the mayor’s appointment of John L. Webster be confirmed. Mr. Lee said that the matter had been referred to the committee on judiciary at the last meeting, and as that * commuttee had not been appointed at that time, he moved that the appointment be now referred to that commuittee. Mr. Hascall claimed that the matter had only been laid over for one week and was now properly be- fore the council. Mr. Lee's motion to refer was lost, The question then re- curred upon the confirmation of Mr. Webster., This was carried, Lee, Low! Kitchen and Bechel voting in the nega® tive.

RESOLUTIONS., By Bailey—Whereas, The vresent (nitad States postofiice building Is totally inade- quate for the uses intended: and Whereas, The site for said bu narrow and contractad, and th jacent so oceupied. as to be o high that it 1s impracticable to udd therelo by pur- chase, therefore it is lmpossible to enlarge the presont building so a3 to render it ade: quate for the uses intended for this greatand growing eity; and W hereas, Said buildinz is ample to fully accommodate all the military ofticials and their clerks for the Departient of tne I’latts the customs and signal service officials, a others if necessary, and theceby save the fed- eral government a large annual expenditure ling 1s so for ronts for all time to come if devoted to sajd uses;and Waenreas, Jefferson Square is neither ornamental nor useful, because it is loe on Sixteenth strect, the most frequente business throughfare in the city, and hence is unsuited for the uses of a_park, and asa matter of fact respectable families avoid it and it is left for the exclusive use of tramps and desreputable women, and therefore s really nothing but a barren waste on a bus- iness street and hence only a great detriment to every busipess interest on said street, and only serves to depreciate the value of a large aunount of property in that vicinity, and WheReAs, Judge Lake and other eminent counsel have publically given it as their legal opinions that the city of’ Omaha has a_lozal |I'hl||lt to sell Jefierson Square. Therefore be it Resolved, That the city of Omaha should tender to the United States government the west half of Jefferson Square for a consider- ation of one dollar for a site for a new post oftice building, Also sell the east haif, and devote the proceeds of the sale thereof to the purchase of theold lzard block, so-called, now owned by John A. Crelghton, or some other block, off from a business street and in & quiet and respectable residence neighbor- hood, more suitable for the use of a park than Jeflerson Square, . ? Referred to the committee on publie property and buildings. By Haseall—Tendering a vote of thanks to W. .
