The Humboldv academy has closed and will not be reopened for schoo! purposes. It was situated on Twentieth street, ammeaiate- ly south of Dodge. 1t was in charge of Pro- fessor Hompel, the accomplished and ener- getic principal who for several years con- ducted the classes of the German-American school. Humboldt academy was really the succes- sor of the German-American school. It was opened at the boginning of the last session, Nearly all the scholars were those who had previously attended class in the rooms con- nected with Germania ball. The latter had become almost uninhabitable becauso of the shutting off of light on tne east side by Dr. Ramacciotti’s veterinary institute and on the west by the Creche. To the support of these classes the Turn- verein as also the German Ladies’ School as- sociation contributed monthly 8150, When they were removed to the Humboldvacademy the contribution was continued; and the pupils were at the same time charged various amounts of tuition, ranging from $7 to $15 per quarter. Notwithstanding the venture ‘was not a success inancially and Prof. Hem- pel says he will no longer continue the ex- periment. ‘The question, therefore, of attempting longer to maintain a German school in this city is an open one, Members of the verein, however, say they will establish an evening school and aid it as Iiberally as tormerly, but it isgurged on them that this would not be in keeping with the charter of the association which required the maintenance of an ele- mentary school, which & night school could hardly realize: The class room ismow being occupied by H.

The Belle of Dayton and the Ohioago Lawyor Go Thelr Separate ‘Ways—The Cause Ap- pealed. She Will 8hine on the Stage. Crioaco, July 15.—[Special Telogram to Tuz Bep.]—The long arguments expected to be made on Mrs, Caroline Louise Cartor's motion for a new trial of the Carter divorce caso wero not offered before Judge Jamieson this morning, W. J. Hyues and W. R. Morrison for the soon-to-be theatrical star, and Edwin Walker for the viotorious Leslie Carter, ap- peared in court at 9 o'clock. Mr. Hynes announced that he and Mr. Morrison, after & consultation, had determined not to argue the motion. The fact is that both the law- yers thought it would be time wasted. They took 1t for granted that Judge Jamieson would overrule the motion anyhow. When Mr. Hynes made the statement that he did not propose to press the motion for a now trial, but atlow it to be overruled pro formo, 80 as to facilitate an immediate appeal to the appellate court, the judge found he had an easy task before him and he there- fore formally overruled the motion for a new trial. Then Mr. Walker, Mr. Carter’s coun- sel, submitted the decree which he wanted entered, The document recites that the jury in the case, mentioning their names, revurned a verdict finding Leslie Carter not guilty of the oharge of cruelty, and finding Mrs, Carter guilty of adultery, and that a motion for a new trial, after arguments and the con- sideration of the court, was ovorruled. After the preliminarics the ducree gets down to the business for which it was drawn and orders and adjudges that the marriage of tho belle of Dayton and tho Chicago lawyer be dissolved ~and that, the parties be freed from tho obligations thereof. farther decrees that Mrs, Ci titled to any right or title of dower in Car- ter's real estato or to any intorest or distrib- utive share thereof, or to his personal prop- erty in case he dies. What is of vital importance to Mrs, Carter is that the decree directs that Carter shall have tho care, custody, control and education of Leslie Dudley Carter without auy interference on the part of Mrs. Carter, and enjoins and restrains hor henceforth from interfering with the child or with Carter in his custody of it until further order of the court. + Mr. Hynes and Mr, Morrison were indig- nant’ at this restraining clause, and so ex- pressed themselves, Mr. Hynes. saying that it was a piece of cruelty not exceeded by those charged by Mrs. Carter agamnst her husband 1n her original bill. “I never heard of a divorce case where the mother was not permitted to sec her child,” said Mr. Hynes, “and it should be provided in the decree that Mrs, Carter should see it at reasonable times. “ don’t think 80 at all,” said Mr. Walier, with the frigidity of an’ iceberg. and a look that didn’t contain one expression of pity or magnanimity for the defeated woman. *“That was one of the issues in this case and Carter won. I don't see what right she has to see the child,” Judge Jamieson spent fifteen minutes por- ing over authorities to ascertain whether the mother had the right to see her child. Finally he came out and announced that the law gave her the right to visit the child, and therefore it was not necessary to put it in the decree. “But the injunction prevents her from ex- ercising that lawful right,” protested Mr. Morrison. “‘Well, the decree provides that the child shall remain in Mr. Carter’s custody until the further order of the court, and that mat- ter can be disposed of later,” said the court. “We will make an effort to have -1t settled in the upper court at once,” said Mr. Hayes menacingly. Tho last line of the decree provided that Mrs. Carter should pay the costs of the court, some $4,000. 'This also was too much for Mr. Morrison. “Why, the idea of Carter trying to make his wife pay the costs of the suit,” he ex- claimed. ‘‘There is no case on record where the wifo has boen compelled 1o, do such & thing.” ‘The court modified this, He provided that each side should pay their own costs. Finally the decree was formally entered, and ut 9:50 a. m. Leslie Carter and Caroline Louise Car- ter were no longer mun and wife. None_ of the principals were present i court. Mr. Morrison hurried down stairs and started the clerks to work on the big record, so as to take the case at once to the appellate court. NOT SO BAD.

The high ratos were due to the charge for two locals when _ the shipment was over two roads, instead of one low joint rate, as formerly, The delays were said to be aue partly to the rebilling at the transfor to the second road, and partly, it was charged, to intentional delays by the railroads in order to favor Chicago shippors? Mr. Lumsden testified that his customers had reported that they could send from tho fnterior of Towa to Davenport and to Chicago at the same time, and the goods for Chicago would ba delivered before the goods for Davenport. The burden of the complaint, however, was the practice of requiring two local ratés, one from Davenport to West Lib- erty, over the Rock Island, and the other from West Liberty to the point of destination, over the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & North- crn. Having to reship and rebill at_the transfor point, it was charged, produced do- lays which injurcd the business of the start- ing point and gave other cities an advantage over it “The attorney for the complainants urgoed the commissioners 10 order the railroads to mako joint rates, on the ground that it was a question whether they had the right or not to do 80, and tho benefit of the doubt should bo given to the shippers, and the railroads could appeal and make a test in the courts if they wanted to do so. Tho hearing will be resumod Lo-morrow morning. Bad Fire at Atlantic, ArvaNTIC, In., July 15.—[Special to Tax Bee. |—Atlantic was visited by a disastrous fire Sunday r.orning. Shortly after I o'clock the alarm was sounded and it was soon dis- covered that Dr. J. Nichols' block was on fire. Owing to the peculiar construction of the block, it being veneered with brick, the exact location of the fire could not be dis- covered until the entire block was in flames from cellar to roof. It 1s thought the fire orlginated from the furnace in the cellar under the baker shop, which was running at a late hour. The fire did not break out until every partition wall and the roof was burned through. Four and five streams of water were kept constantly playlng on various portions of the building for four hours, beforo the fire was got under control. The buiidiug was two stories high, and was occupied by J. G, Jackson, boots and_shoes—stock ull moved with Little damage; Larsen & Co., dry goods and grocories, insured for §2,000, stock val- ned at $7,000—this firm will lose heavily; Frank Smith, barber, everything saved with little damage. Mr. Nichols' drug store, which adjoined this block on the north, which was also a veneerod brick, also took fire. The drug stock was removed, with some damage, but the upper ' story was completely gutted and is almost a total wreck. The first named block was erected_about threo years ago at a cost of £5,000.

Thay and Mr. Bolln havo clashed on the printing of his quarterly statoment. e olaims that the law authorizes him to have it published wherever he pleases, while on the other hand thoy malatain that their contract with the Inter-State Democrat includes reports as well as advertising and board proceedings. “‘The idea of publishing my statement in a paper where nobody will see it," saia the treasurer, 'is most ridiculous.” Sheriff Coburn declares that he has not been able to_ make a report this year for tho reason that his time, day and night, has been devoted to keeping up with the court. “‘We have been going: it continuously since February 11, and I havo now got work enough on my desk to keep mo busy for the next four weeks. The board cannot compel me to make a settlement until the end of the year; consequently, if my quarterly report is delayed nobody Wil be injured by it. Tho secrot of the whole thing 1, Anderson sim- ply wanted to give mo a shot, and introduced his resolution.” When a reporter accosted Mr. Anderson and inquired of him wlether he proposed to push matters and bring about an investiga- tion, the oid man_swelled up, pounded him- solf ‘on the breast and indignantly replied : “What am I gomg to Why do you ask what I'm going to doi What more havo I got to do \ith it than anybody else!" “Didn't you start the row!" “You reporters ought to be wadded up and shot out of thn country.” The patriarchal lumbard then strode to- wards the door and disappeared. Anderson, however, hus beon threatening for a long time to get aftor the sheriff, his complaint being that Coburn is appropriat- ing money received for keepiug United States,Sarpy and transient prisoners which shonld bo turned over to the county. The nagging at Roche has taken new shape but scems to be of very littie conse- quence. Anderson’s resolution instructing Mahoney to make an examination and ascer- tain whether or not all records in the office are being kept up, has reference to a book in which the ofticial reports of each county ofii- cer should be written. Auditor Evans has had this bookn his possession, but did noth- ing ou it because reports have not been ready to turn in. He and Aunderson have both agreed that it cannot be completed betore the first of October. Attend Falcone sale now in progres: A BABY'S TROSSEAU. great stock taking Children's Wardrobes Which the Luxuries ot Royalty. Not long ago Mrs. Clarence Peck. who belongs tothe family of millionaire Pecks, of Chicago, sent an order toa 'Pwenty-third street dealer in infants’ wear for a baby’s trousseau.- The only specification contained in the letter was t0 “*make it as nice as you can.” And that is precisely the way the tiny outfit was put together, says the New York World. The first item listed was a steamer trunk, which was recovered, hinged with blackened iron and lined with pale blue broadcloth redolent with the perfume of sweet clover. Setinto the [id was a plate for the monogram and date, if desired. The ser s of an artist were secured, who designed the patterns for the embroidery with which the baby flannels, robes, wraps, and linen were decorated. All the fine dimity was sent to the nuns for the drawn work for which they are so famous. The embroidered and lace gooas for undershirts, bibs and dresses were woven to order, so that many of them were seamless garments. Specialists were employed to make the dainty lace and silk caps. The little silk socks, shirts and scarfs were woven to order, and in the half-dozen short dresses the famous luropean schools of embroidery were represented. Some of the bar oats and lap blankets were so exquisitely worked that the pattern was the same on both sides, while the fanciful way in which yokes were stroked, gathered and drawn, and bands were open-hemmed, etched and dzrned, represented days and weeks of continuous labor. Everything was in sets of six pieces, and not a single cotton article was in- cluded. Even the wash-rag croch- eted with linen thread. Real Valen- ciennes lace edged the little handker- chiefs and the neck and sleeves of the mght-gown. The delicate lage that flounced a couple of dresses might have been ripped from the under-siceves of a court be, and the very poetry of needle painting was shown in the work that adorned and enriched a cape-coat of white corded silk. Any one of the small blankets designed to throw over the baby basket or crib would be admired on an altar stand or parlor table, and few trays of clothes are pretty as the lin baby’s piilow, with their delicato sprays of blue-bells, woodbine and trailing arbutus. In ablue cushion were pins for a generation—safety pins and bib pins, handkerchief pins and shoulder pins'of gold mounting set with pearl, turquoise and coral. There was a blue box of Dresden china for the infant’s jewels and handkerchiefs, a basket of gilded willow lined with blue and silver with pockets for brushes, boules and hand-glass, and the soap-holder, pow- der-box and sponge-cup were of jeweled glass with the word *“baby” in relicved seript. As a whole, complete in detail, it was the most elaborate and expensive trousseau ever sold in New York. When Mrs. George Gould returned from Europe she brought a baby’s outfit with her the lace trimmings of which are said to. have cost $1,000. Many of the little garments ave sodaintily made and the material is so delicate that con- tact with a washboard or the clumsy hands of a laundress would end their glory. Thoy are sent to the cleancr’s by the proud young mother and the bill that the indulgent young father has to pay every month would feed, clothe and make fun for a sextette of every- day, all-around, free-born babics. Rival THE OMAHA DAILY EEE TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1889, ENJOYING HIS VACATION. The President Transaoting Only Noocessary Businesa. POSTMASTER PAUL'S CASE AGAIN Roosevelt Makes Another Examina- tion and the Last State of That Office s Worse Than the First. 518 FOURTEENTH STRERT, WASTINGTON BUuREAv, Tre OMATA Ban \ July 18, } WASHINGTON, The president, while practically enjoying a vacation at Deor Park, still keéops one eyo upon the business of his offico in Washing- ton. As fust as the heads of the various de- partments get their papors 1nto shape for the appointments of the various subordinates under them they will be sent to the Alleghan. ies, and the president will, if he approves the recommendations in cach case, sign the commissions and return thom to his executive clerk, Major Pruden, und the announcement of theso appointments will be made from tho white house, as usual. The report which has been iu circulation to the effect that the president proposes to hold cabinet mectings and carry on a regular executive office at his cottage in the mountains, is unfounded. He will, while there, devote as little attention to Dbusiness as possible, and will try and enjoy his vacation to the fullest extent. He will come to Washington only when compelled to do so, and will not mix up business with ploasure further than the needs of the public service domand. His ubsence has caused a com- ploto stampede of the office-seckers, and the hotel registers show fewer arrivals during the past two or threo days than at any timo since tho adjournment of cougress for tho recess just preceding the elevtion. DISASTROUS TO PAUL. The civil service commissionors are at work upon their supplomentary report in re- lation to the conduct of affuirs in tho pest- oftice at Milwaukee. This report will be ready for presentation to the president upoa his return to Washington, and if he does not come back this week, as now seems likely, it 18 probable that it will be sent to him at Deer Park. Postmaster Paul, the Milwaukeo ofticial, was censured by the full boaca ot commissioners on account of his action In permitting violation of the law in the selec- tion of ompls . He was not satisfied with the findings of the commussionors, although their report did not recommend his re- moval, and after he had created a great deal of a rumpus, Commissioner Roosovelt proceeded to Milwaukee again and made a further exanunation. While the re- sult of this has not yet been made public, 1t is generally understood here that Post- master Paul's removal will surely fol- low its publication, and that a postmaster will be uppointed for Milwaukee who will be more hikely to keep himself strictly in the iimits of the law. But, for Mr. Paul's ex- citement, it is probable that he would have been allowed to remain to complete is term. As it is he 19 certain to be asked to step down and out. THE EX-CHANOELLORS.
