6 TALKED ABOUT THE WEATHER ‘What the Saloonkeepers Did Yes- terday. THEY GOT DOWN TO BUSINESS Mr. Broatch Listened, But if the Del- egates Got Any Satisfaction They Did Not Realize the Fact Very Markedly, Visited the May or. Five representatives of the liquor dealers of Omaha filed into the mayor's office at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon to discuss with his honor the recent order promulgated by him closing the saloons on Sunday. They were William Darst, Frank De Long, ¥. J. Friedahl, F. B. O'Brien and Sol rince. P“.\'lr,e day, ain't it1" said De Long, as he made his salanm before the mayor. “Yes, nice day,” said the mayor. And then there was a silencé broken only by the scratch of License Inspector Turn- bull's pen. “Spring is coming sooner this year than it did 1ast season,” agan ventured De Long. “Yes, believe it is,” said the mayor. And then there was some more silence. Finally William Darst arose, and clearing his throat, said: **We came here, Mr. Mayor, to state our vances relative to this order of yours closing the saloons on Sunday. I will simply state my own case. 1 run three places at an expensc of $60 a day. If thislaw is enforced, I will obey it, but it will entail a yearly loss to me of nearly $6,000, 1 made some money when I could keep open Sunday, | but if I am compelled Yo close my places on that day, I shall be compelled” to quit my business and invest my capital in something more lucrative.” Mr. DeLong said that many of those who took out licenses on the first of the year, would not have done so if they ha known that the saloons were ROINE to ve closed on Sunday. He also spoke of the saloons in the two mile limit, and said he haa seen an article from the mayor soon after he took his oftice, published in one of the papors, saving that these places could keep open Sundays if they were quict about it, and that while he had his police force hero in the city to watch the saloons, there was no one to watch those places. “What do you mean,” asked the mayor, “'by saying you saw such an article in the papers from me. 1 never penned a line authorizing the breaking of the law.” . iv's possible,” said De Long, ‘‘that the articie didu’t bear your signature, but that can be easily ascertaincd.” F. J. Friedahl -said he repre- sented the saloon keepers of the southern suburbs, of whic therc are about eighty. Sixty of these, he says, do nct take in #10 a day during the week, und the only time they made money is on Sun- days, If the order is enforced it would com- pel many of these men to close their places, and this they would have to do at a ioss, as the proverty would be practically worthless if the order stands. The other members of the commttee pre- sented their views, the points brought forth being the same as they have urged all along, that the enforcement of the order would not only injure them but the city. The mayor said he didn’'t see as it had made any difference’ in Kansas City and St. Touis, where tha law is enforced. Mr. Darst diifered with the mayor in the enforcemen’ of the law in these places. He had talked with a saloon man from Kausas City, and he said that the side doors of the drinking resorts of that city were kept open on Sunday, and as far as St. Louis was con- cerned, he had no diffculty in gettinga bottle of beer on Sunday while " visiting there re- cently. The mayor said that he had never made any secret of his intention to close thu sa- loons. Hethen stated his position on the prohibition question. ““When I was in the legislature in 1881, said he, “Judge Peabody came to me and asked if I would vote for snbmission. I told him yes, thinking it was simply 8 proposition to give the people an opportunity to vote on the ques- tion. Hecometo mo later and informed that submission practically meant prohi- Lition and I then went to Mr, Peabody and informed him I could not vote for submis- sion. I supported high licensc. If I had thrown my vote for submission you would have prohibition today. Upon my return the liquor element abused me and I fre- quently received threatening letters, but many people said I had done well. Upon the prohibition question Iam with you. It seems to me a very unwise thing to place a cudgel in the hands of the supporters of the meas- ure by disobeying this law. You ask me tor a modification of the order. 1 could not maadify it und oboy the law. In your meet- ing held the other night many severe attacks were made upon me. Now, I am notto be intimidated and 1shall enforce tne law when I can. Prior to the 1Sth of January I ‘was unable to close the saloons on account of the actions of this license board, but now that is changed.” ‘Ihe mayor said lie was not trying to en- forcea Puritanical Sabbath in Omaha, He laid particular stress upon the fact that by oboying this order and the law, the saloon- keepers would be strengthening ' themselves agaiust probibition, and in support of this read a lotter which he said was from a prom- ;..c.n attorney who advanced the same opin- ons, BIn dismissiug the delegation the mayor id he would take the watter under con- leration, 2 Will you set & day when you will givo us your decision " asked O'Brien, “No, T wont do that, but I will say this,” honor with' s peculiar smile, *'you gouhead and obey the order.” Memorial Day eparations, A committee composed of G. A. R. people met at the Millurd hotel last night for the purpose of making arrangements for Memor- elebratian. At the meeting C. G. Burmeister was elected chairman and Dr. J. 1.

B shear, president of \Weators. colloge, at Towdo, La Deserted by the Father, It Finds Refuge in the Gpen Door. There 18 a young man in this city who was married 1ast November. The bride was well known in certain circles in Omaha. The couple at once started on a brigal tour in Towa, but went no further than Council Blufts, where the young wife was left in St. Bernara's hospital. She was later moved to the Women'’s Christian home, and whence she wrote letters to her parents that were misleading as to her whereabouts. She was ina delicate condition, and finally made her husband father. But he did not seem to be happy, and a week befora the child was born informed the matron of the institition that it should not cross the river to Ne- braska, Just why he should say so seemed a mystery, as he nowledged it was nis own offspring. He wanted to make arrange- nients to mve itaway, With a mother’s love the girl-wife, it is said, refused to part with her child, and this rosolve was assisted by Dr. Hall, the matron of the institution. The husband, however, it is said, insisted, and misused his authority over his wife so far as to prevent her from nursing it, lest her attachment might become stronger. ‘When the child was about ten days' old an advertisement appeared in un Omana paper offering it for adoption, and a few days later the father went to the ‘Bluffs to claim it, but was prevented from doing so by the mother and matron. He admitted the child was his, and on that ground claimed that he had a right do with it s he saw fit. His arguments were not admitted by the Council Bluffs authorities, and the child was left in the care of its mother, A dayor two afterwards a woman called at the hospital, and handed the follow- ing letter to the matro ) OwmaltA, March 13, 1889.—Mrs, Hall: This will introduce to you my mother, and she has come to take my child. Please deliver the same to her and oblige, Mrs. Hall, however, had her suspicions and for a time refused to deliver the child up until the visitor asked to see the mother, ‘When she was permitted to do so, the latter at once recognized her as Mrs. Brown, a nurse of this city. The latter atonce ex- plained the object of her visit, by saying that she came there by request, and with the understanding that, the mother was anxious to part with the child, which she had been led to beheve the illegitimate child of an unmarried girl. The following Friday the husband called again to get the child, and, 48 o last resort, to provent him from doind 80, the matron refused to lct it go until the account for board was'settied. This irritated him_and he said: “You have put your mouth too much into my business, and if you don't shut up D'l smash your head.” Ho then agreed to call the next day and settle. Saturday afternoon two of the young wife's sisters called and, with a brother-| law, insisted that she should give the child up, to prevent the family from being dis- graced. In her weak state, the unfortunate girl who had begun her married life so un- propitiously, was unable to stand the pres- sure, and finully gave a reluctant consent to n Separation, and that night a hack drove up to the door of the hospital. The mother carried the babe to the door of the hack, where for the first time it was pluced in the arms of the father. The father handed it in to a woman in the hack, and joined her and a sister of the girl as also the wife, while the brother-in-law came across to this city on the motor cars. The babe was taken to the Open Door, presided over by Mrs. Clark, and there it was followed a day or two later by a nurse from the Council Biufrs hospital, who had become interested in the fate of the child and its mother. She claims 1o have found it dirty and uncared for, with its only food a bottle of cold milk. She begged that if its parents disowned it she might be allowed to take it back and care for it as it should be cared for, but of course was rofused. There tho matter rests, That 18 the story from Council Bluffs, and a-reporter was assigned to_investigate. His first call was to the Open Door, at 2830 Capi- tol avenue, but it was a closed door to him. “I know, but I can't tell you,” said the matron, as he told her who né was and the information he required. *‘But it's for the sake of the home,as much anything else, they say the child was dirty, uncared-for and fed on cold milk. Tur Ber wantssonly to get an explanation or any statement jyou may wish to make,” she was told. 3 “Well, you will have to see Mrs. Clark. If she wants to tell you anything, she can, can’t, But—my if she hears that—the baby wasn't airty, but when that woman cailed, was_away, and I just had been feeding it some catnil and it spilled it on its bib. I had no time hange it be- fore I went out. I wish Mrs. Clark was here.” “‘Where is Mrs. Clark?” ‘She's gone to church.. I don’t know whether its the First Baptist or not.”” “Has she given you instructions not to give any information on matters of this kind *No, not just that, but then I don’t want to say anything while she is not here. If she wants to tell anything, she can,” ‘fhe matron then said she was on hand when the child was brought 1o the home, but refused to say who brought it, and did not know where the mother or her parents could be found. After offering to call again at a later hour, the reporter was informed that Mrs. Clark would have retired then, and he accordingly lefr, to find the father and mother of the girl. At last he did find them, and the home is that of & prosperous business man, situated in a fashionable portion of the ci A knock at the door brought down the girl's father. A few of the notes were resd to him, and, as he listened, his wife cawme in the room. ““‘We have no statement to make, but if those statements go in that you read, then there may be trouble for some one,” he said. “Why?' ‘‘Hecause they're false.” 0h, no, they're not, not all of them,” said the mother, and before the reporter could usk another question, a ring at the bell brought the father once more to the door. This time it was Mrs, Clark, who, after say:- ing that a reporter had called at the home, held a private conversation in the hall. Then she entered tne paridr, and at once ad- dressed the reporter, asking where he had eived his information, He was unable to y, and she said if it came from the home in Council Bluffs it waus unciristian-like in them 10 say anything that would impair the good work of u similar institution, and 1t “was thought that the ¢hild was drugged before it ever left Council Bluffs, My dear, brother,” she said, addressing the reporter, *I don’t care what you write about the Open Door, but I caw't see why you want to drug the names of all these inno- cent people into it.” ‘I'he reporter assured her he didn't want to, but was only acting on orders based on information alréady received. “‘Who was it brought you the childi" he continued. “That's where another name comes in that 1 don’t think should be mentioned. My dear brother, I would rather lose my aru than abuse any confidences.’ “Well, 1t's said that one of your people from the Open Door went over to the Bluffs for the child ~did they " “'Yes, iy matron weut over for it.” “She wouldn't tell me so." “'No, I know she wouldn't, because 1 have told her never ,to tell anything to a re porter.! As this was somewhat different from what the matron Lad said, no further questions were asked. Other conversation with the father and mother led to the stasicment that in their opinion much of the nformation had been given to Tits Bik through spite. ‘Then the revorter sought and after some difeulty locatea Mrs. Brown, the nurse, and, although the hour was late, called Lo seo why she Lad impersonated the young man's mother. *'Oh, that wretch,” she said, *if 1 thought be was worth a cent [ would make him pay for the trouble ho caused me.” ‘Then she toid tho story of how he had striven to et rid of s own child.

HoLUROOK, Ariz, March 21.—The east bound passengor train on the Atlantic & Pa- cific railway was stopped last night by four masked men at Canon Diablo. The Wells- Fargo expross car was robbed, but the amount tuken 1s not kiown. The sheriff and posse are in pursuit. One of the men stood guard over the loco- motive while the others took the fireman to the express car and compelled him by threats to call to the Wells-Fargo express messenger to open the door. Hedid 8o and tne robbers entered and searched tho messenger. Ho had betwenn $200,000 and_£300,000 in a pack- age for local points, but the safe, which con- tained several thpusand ‘dollars, was un- touched, and no demand was made on the messenger to unlock it. None of the pas- sengers were molested, and from meagre accounts obtained there appears to have been no effort on their part to protect the Wells- Fargo property. — e The Reichstag.

The change, he said, was constitutional one. He declined to be r sponsible for the commander of the navy. The plan only involved application to the navyof a_system that had already been tested in the army—the navy placing an_ad- miral-in-chief at its head, s a general-in- chief was at the head of the army.
