But Mr. Golden was born and reared at a little village on the Penobscot river, known as Bucksport. Among the in- habitants was an eccentric old man of the namo of Jed Prouty, and it seems that he st~ tracted youag Richard's attention and the lad was wont 10 mimic himi, As he grew older and becamo wdentified with stage life, Golden coneeived the idea abd commenced writing the play which he is now producing and presented for tha first time in Omaha at Boyd’'s opera house last night. While there is not much strength to the pieco 80 far as story or plot goes, it serves Mr, Golden's purpose admirably, and furnishes a pleasiog entertainment. All the personages in it were taken from life, and they are true to nature, Golden's imperson-~ ation of the geatine Yaukes is in mivy re- spects more than clever, and puts him in the very front rank of young commedians. His best work shows itself in the pathetio scenes, thongh 8t 1o time 18 1t pos- sibie to discern & lack of perfection in his Imrmrmnum His identity is completely ost, by artistic make-up ai accion, in the person of “Jed Prouty.” It is & play that nterests all classes and w.lllive.

Al the mombers ‘were present except Mr. Sholes, Immediately after being called to order the board went into committee of the whole to cousider the report of the committee on rules with Mr. Points in the chair, The rules were acted upon sbction by sec- tion, there being only & few changes made, One change provides that during extreme cold or inclement weather the janitors of schools shall open the buildings at least ono hour before time for school to begin. An amendment was also adopted de- claring that any teachsr employed in the day schools shall not be eligible o the position of teacher of a night scbool. Lavor day was added to the list of holidays on which the schools shall be closed, Dr. Saville offered au amendment to changa the time of closing the schools from the last Friday to the third Friday in June, which would shorten the school year one and some- times two weeks. The motion was lost, On motion of McConnell, the day on which the school year snould begin was changed from tne first Monday to the first Tuesday in September i order to comply with the sec- ton providing for closing the schools on Labor > he section providing for calisthenic exer- cises in each school under the direction of the teachers was amended to make al excep- tion in th of the High schooli where it is not practicable to have such exercines, McConnell oftered an amendmensto pro- vide that the examination committds , shall have at least one person ou._jt wi LY teacher in the schools. Tees opposad the amendment, saying that & teacher might be interestod Tu keepiug some applicant out’ and could exert undue influence. Mr. Poluts thought Mr. Rees put the matter on the wrong ground, but was of the opinion that the rule snould not be made mandatory. ‘The rule was adopted providin teacher may be on the ¢omumiltt making it mandatory. Mr. Poppleton remewed the asmendment which he had offered at a previous meeting, providing that no wacher uot now uunder engagewent 1o teach in the publie schools shall be eligible to a position as teacher who has ot completed o course iy » high school or a sghool of equally good curriculum, and bad et least one year's course in a norwmal that a , but not school, or ome yoar's experionos in tenching, Mr Roes roso to remark that he did not want o rulv»rmfl whioh would prevent Abraham Lincoln from teaching a primary school. Hamaid that it would dobar app! cants who might be peculiarly fitted by na- ture for tesching, and would also debar many deserying pupils who had not the time or money to jakp & normal ©COUTse, Or even & full high schookpourse. Mr. Martia - said he would rather have a bright yonngarip, with good common sense, 10 teach his,phildron than to have a ‘‘rusty old maid who had spent all her lifein teach- ing.” er. Points thought it to the advantage of the schools ¢ have teachors who had nors mal training, although he would not debar deserving applicants, He thought the case might be compared to the requirements in the case of physicians who_are required to have a course in a school of medicine or its equivalent, ‘The amendment was put upon its passage and was lost. The committee of the whole then arose without comploting its work and asked leave to sit again, A communication from W. J. Connell was read, stating that the papers in the case :of Mitchell Monette mgainst the scnool district of Omaha for £15,000 had been prepared, and stating also that thé case wouid nos come up for trial before October. and probably not until Fobruary. The matter was referred to the committee on judiciaty and the new attorney. ‘The board then tried to elect a teacher to il the vacancy in the High school. Mrs, Sudborough and Miss Ray were nominated and one ballot taken which resulted in no election. The board then adjourned until next Tues- day evening. LABOR DAY.

Willie Tascott Confesses Before Judge Berka, A desperate looking man securely hand- cuffed was conducted by two officers into Judged Berka's court and arraigned on tne charge of being o suspicious character. When asked to give an account of himself ho greeted the court with a contemptuous snarl, glared spvagely at the officers who had Rim in chargo and cast an occasional flance at tho opon door of tho court room, 1o scomed to be caloulating his chance of oscape if he made a break for liberty. The man’s _demeanor puzzled the judge and the hangers on became merv- ous. Affter a whispered consultation with one of the court officers Judge Berka! face assumed 1ts sternest expression as he addressed the prisoner: “I have a hint as to the crime of which you are suspected and also of your determina- tion to mamtain silence, ~ But you must speak. In this caseit is words and oot deods that we want from you, If you refuse you will find that this court brooks no opposition to its wishos.

T'ake him then to the mayor's room and there strongly guard him while he is com- pelled to hear the deliberations of the police commissioners on the recent investigation—'" Here the prisoner trembled, “That 1s now all,” continued the judge. “To-morrow nightyou will take him to the council chamber where Judge Huscall is bitled to speak—" " “Hold on, forplty’s sake,” gasped the now terrificd man./ My crime is great and death will bb my punishment.

An Interesting Meeting of the Fire ana Police Commission — Green's Resignation Accopted—Ofi- cer Newman’s Case. Fire and Police. Chief Seavey joined the commission later thau usual last night, but was early enough to receive in person a stinging rebuke at the hands of Commissioner Hartman, Tho chief sent in & number of recom- mendations; among others, the name of the man he wished to have appointed to succeed Captain Green, ‘‘When we want the chief’s advice we will aslc him for it," said Mr, Hartman, sharply, and, arising to his foet, he contiaued: ‘It isn't right and business like, and wo want no more of it. We have had this for a year rm, the chief always advising on this or hat, and I don't think he has ever been asked to recommend anything, Has hel” and the irate member glanced inquiringly round upon his 1ssociates. Mr. Gilbert shook the horror off his face lvug enough to na{ he guessed the advice had come unsought. Mr. Hartman walted only a moment and then resumed his *‘roast”’ by saying that the chief had given to the news- papers the names of his choice in half a dozen cases, and always a day or two bofore they were reported to the commission, This, too, he thought, was unbusinesslike disrespectful to the board. The public had come to think that whatever the cbief recommended the board obediently adopted at once, and it was that idea he wished to do away with. Commissioner Gilbert concurred with Mr. Hartman's expressions, but declined to sec- ond that gentleman’s motion to lay the rec- ommendations on the table. The chief denied intending anything disre- spostfil toward the board Iu giviag the nawmes of his nominees to the papers, and he made the recommendations because the board had allowed him to do it pefore Later, in executive session, the recommenj dations were ordered filed. Oaptain Green’s resignation was accepted, the commission agreeing that they had found him a gentleman and a good officer. The usual quota of policemen accused of violating the misdemeanor ordinance under the protection of their respective stars and Slubs wore on hand. Oficer Newman, who assaulted Attorney Crowell during the in- vestigation, told three or four stories, none of which seemed to suit his superiors, so the matter was continued until next Monday night. .OMcer Walker told how he came to arrest Attorney Sheridan while the latter sat on his own dodr step. Several men had told him that vagrauts were too numerous in that vicinity, and though he nad received no orders from his superiors regarding the matter, he_proceeded without a warrant to arrest a few of them. He met a young man named Hant at 'Cwenty-sixth and Lake, and-after talking with him for over twenty minntes put him under arrest. He then called I:IJ the patrot wagon. After it arrived he decided to go down and get Sheridan if he could find him. “Why did you want him?" asked Gilbert. “‘Well, he was shabby and told me he wasn't working, and I told him he could maks his explanation to the police judge, and took him along. The acung city atlorney said he was sorry I had arrested Sheridan and dismissed the case.’”” “Tbat’s enough,” said Gilbert, in tones of disgust, and aaded, in an undertone, “He isn't fit for the force."” But no action was taken'to eet him off it. Basing his remark on a case in hand, the mayor announced for the license board that no permits would be issued for the sale of liquor on the fair grounds Oficer Dubois ‘was confronted by C. J. Phillips, wheo said that the officer was drunk and disorderly, using profane language and unnecessary violonce on the Forepaugh show grounds. The officer of course denied the charges, and the hearmg was set for next Monday night. Officor ~ Curry rimanded for conduct unbecoming an officer, he having followed a’man half the length of a block cursing his victim the whole distance to provoke a quarrel. Speolal ‘Oficer Nagle was dishonorably discharged for open collusion with the pros- titutes on his beat, and other flagrant mis- demeanors. - The Irish republican club and the Knights of Laborurged very strongly that Sergeant ‘Whalen be appointed junior captain. Lheir letter was filed. Mr. Gresham was appointed special officer with beat on Grace street, Ex-Conductor Roth, who lost his position ‘with the motor company through the allezed fraudulent representations of Officer Me- Rride, asked what had been done in the matter. Nothing was the sum of it all, but Dr. Mercer, Mr. Koth and McBride will be summoned to appoar before the board on Monday mght next. Sl Officer Foley’s Close Call. A tively scene was enacted at the corner of Twenty-fifth and Farnam stroets last night. For some timle residents in that vicinity have been complaining of & number of tramps who congregate there, and last night Oficers Foley and Hudson inves- tigated the matter, They discovered three men hiding 1n some tall weeds and attempted to arrest them, where- upon one of the tramps fired & revolver, the bullet grazing Ofticer I"oley’s head. Hudson fired at the men but missed them.

N The Tenth Street Viaduot, Oxmaua, August 33,—To the Eaitor of Tie Bee: The writer has lived near Tenth strect for several years, and joins everybody eise in claiming the absolute necessity of a Tenth street viaduct from Jackson to Mason street, Extrayagant 0s 1t seems, yet it is not so much of an exaggeration, which says that vevery square yard of the Tenth street rail- way crossing is stained with blood of the dead or crippled passers-by, and that there is 8 ghost for every rail which crosses Tenth streot.”” The Kleventh streot viaduct does not serve its purpose, even as a reliet, but, on the contrary, the fume of the gas works, added to the sulphurous coal consumed in the locomotives, with the open roadway thrown in as a ventilator, makes it almost insufferable for an wvalid or & person with weak lungs, Of neoessity, for want of yard ruom, the rushing engines at a bigh rate of speed, and those in stauding places near by, give the Elevonth street crossing more sul- phur than would be likely to occur at Tenth stroet, as the engines back up Lo their trains very little in advance. If and when, we get the union depot. that is to be, somethivg like the old pleture we gloated over, twenty years ago, in Crofut’'s Western World, it will be foand not only necessary but desivable to give us south side people and our visiting cousing & better crossing. Now, we ask ourselves the query, which of us is to be kitled or crippled nextt Whose fuult s it? If we could get good legal assurances, with penalties eollectable for the union depot, the general disposition of the interested people is to glve the $150,000 fur the viaduct and walve damages, but railroad bouds must be side by side with city bonds now. We mark and learn that new railroad deals occur every little while. Large expandi- tures are involved,but none of them for home cousuwmption, While the reilroad mux)mmus are ebwmpoa for room, eyery subteriuge is rocited to the avoiduuce of aiy special out- it bo to the utilization and improvement of something or some- where outside of Omaha. The payment of intdrest gouponsis a gentle reminder that we have beon tapped at the barrol and phle- botonizod in every vein. 1f we give up any more blood, we must have sone show of making up the loss, or we siall die of in- anition, and be buried under our bonds ana obligations. We do not believe in jug handled contracts, unless there be two handles, and Wwo havé both oye and grip on the jug. The people and the railroads would have a common benofit in & union depot and a Tenth street viaduet. A viaduet alone would help the railway companies fmprove their facili ties, and savo the butchery of men, women children -and - employes, because it would give them more yard room and not confine their operations to standing room at different points, as it dops now, But the dear peopls would pay mosiof the bill, and tho raiiways get most of tho benefit. “How not to do 1! i1sthe rule. Let us begin with exceptions, Inspire us - with contijjonde, by the honest }mr{ormmme of past. promises, and bonds or all the promised future developments, Otherwiso we shall be like the parson's pig, rofuse to be bled, and keep our distance! .

Her grief was sad to behold. She hela a delicately ]\er!umod kerchief to her eyes and soon had it saturated with big, hBt briny tears. She told the jailer that she could not go home without her darling, and that life for her now would be one long, painful dreary existence, a dreary waitin, for the end that would bring a reunion wilg her loved one in a brighter world. The woman finally left the station, pausing often to cast a longing look at the place where the joy of her_ existence hae gone out with her loved one's life. After the woman had gone n soft-hearted reporter sympathetically asked the jailer to furnish hun the name of the dead child ana the bereaved mother. “Child h- -1,” snorted the cold-hearted of- ficial. ‘‘That woman's grief was all on ac- count of a measly little pug dog that was found on Ninoteenth and Dodge streets yes- terday in a fit and brought to the polico sta- tion.

SMALL PRICE, Charles river at this season of the year is a favorite trysting place for unt- ienlly disposed lovers, who paddle ut on the cn‘m waters after sundown and spoon and spoon and spoon until the fishes come up to the surface and gasp for breath. aturally the dark of the moon is considered the most appropri- ato time for these amatory pursuits, and it is at_sach periods of Tunar obscura- tion that the crank photographer above referred to comes to the front. Armed with a camera, he pad- dles a light canoe silently about over the still surface, until he finds himsetf unperceived in the neighborhood of some small eraft, the suspicious 1mmo- Dbility of which betrays the presence of Cupid at the helm. Then, without mak- ing tho slightest noise, he trains his in« strument upon the unconscious victims, springs a little magnesium fash-light, and jerks simultaneously o etring that exposes o dry plute for a fraction of a second, This, ut any rate, is. supposed to be his method, though the astonigh- ing ‘swiftness with which he skips away down strenm after performing an operation of the sort, has thus far precluded all possibility of investi- gation. The outrage has ¥mun perpe- trated so many times that the owner of the canoe must now have quite o gallery of lovers afloat, all reudy for sxiibition at so much a_head to the thousands of curious people who would undoubtedly be willing 1o pay liberally for views of the collection.
