A Sen-atinnal Death, “There goes unother unfortunate,” said a habitant of one of the dug-outs in that part of Council Bluffs known us Duck Hollow, yesteraay afternoon. He pointed to an Or undertaker’s wagon that was passing down Upper Harrison strect. *'Iv's only poor youn girl who came over from Omaha yeaterday morning and hud a baby last night and died.” Inquiry at the local undertakers developed the fact that at least asudden death had occurred in the humble abode of Charley Johoson. The only information that could be obtained lust evening was that volunteered by Unaertakers Lunkley & Porter, who stated tiat the young wirl was a sister-in-law of Johuson, thul she came from Omaha at 10 o'clock & aturday morning, was taken sick in the evening and died during the night. They saw no evidence of childbirth, but were given o understand that death had ‘rsulted from hearddiscase. No physician had been called, no certificate of death given, and even the oung girl's namwe was unkvown to them, She was taken to Omaha yesterday afternoon in an Omaha undertaker's wagon, -~ 3. G.

A director of the motor company stated yesterday that the pass question would in all probavility be settled this week. Said he: “The injunction part of it would have been arefed before Judge Thornell yesterday, but Mr. Pusey, one of Mr. Evans’ attorneys, was sick and could not stiend to it. 1 think that it will come up next motion day, which 13 next Saturday. Both parties are equally anxious to have the matter disposed of in some way.

Mr. Evans takes the position that the officers of the oy have no right to ive away his by issuing passes, and we hold that one man who has a minority share of the stock cannot dictate the affairs of a corpora- tion. If his stand is good he could with equal proprioty go to work and sell out the compuny’s property, because the business was not being run to suit him, In other words, his position is that tho minority can control the majority.

Probability That the Matter Will Be Settled the Coming Week —-A Veath in Duck Hollow— Personal Mentiol A Rupture in the §chool Board. The disagreement among the members of the school board at the meeting held Satur- day evening bids fair to develop into quite a bitter contest and has already led to an open rupture. Matters have not gone along as harmoniously as might be for the past year, but it was not known on the outside that thero was any serious difficulty or that the relations of the members were other than friendly. The cause of the outbreak on Sat- v night was as follows: Mr. Schoent- een, chairman of the committee on teachors, appointed Miss Julia Walker to fill the va- cancy caused by the resignation of Miss Southwell. Miss Walker had never been elected as a substitute by the board and at the mecting several of the members cked up the matter. Mr. Schoentgen explained that the other member of the teachers’ committee, Mr. Hunter, was not in the city and he had to make the appoint ment before Monday morning in order that the school need not” be interrupted. He saw the superintendent, who told him that Miss Walker was a competent teacher, and on this account he appointed her to the place, The bonrd thought that Mr. Schoentgen was ing & little too much power on himself, and accordingly sat down on the appota On word brought on another, and finail, developed into quite & hot debate, with President Stewart and Mr. Schoentgen on one sic Messrs, Rain, Blaxsim, Huuter and Lawson on the other. The breach wid rapidiy and will bo 1 fight from this time on to eiection. Said Mr. Schoenteen yesterday: * Phe whole trouble is the outgrowth of allowing politics to enter the educational question, and the consequent uttempt to run_ the schools as a political adjunct. 1 am ovposed to that, and am not enough of emocrat to allow such u state of affairs to on without objecting to it. 1f thero is any branch which should be conducted oa broad guage vrinciples and entirely free rrom party influence or aictation, it is the free public schools. It scems thut there ave membors of the board who do not think as I do. There is o disposition to throw everything to the Irisn Catholics, ana supply all vacancios wmong the teachers from this class. I am not opposed to them, but [ believe that no prejudice should be shown in . their favor. Pluce all on an equality so faras their religion is concerned, and decids the merits of the apolicants on another basis. Church membership should not constitute an essentinl qualification, neither should it be u disqualification. Now, let me illustrate how matters are being couducted. The rules provide that uo teacher shall bo elected without the recommendatidon of tne teachers' committee. Disregardiog this precedent, during the absence of both Mr. Hunter and myself from the city, Mr. Blaxsim thought he saw his opportunity ana tried to secure the appointment of Miss lorris and Miss Delia O'Rourke as substitutes. President Stewart objected, as it was contrary 1o the ru but the other wembers of the board insisted, and the vote resulted three o one to make the appointment. A week ago vesterday I was notilied by Mr, Stewart that Miss Southwell had resigned und Mr. Huuter being out of the oity, I ap pointed Miss Julin Walker to fill the vacancy. Superintendent McNaughion said he needed another substitute and I appointed Miss Liilian Hart, both graduates of our high school, and having passed an_excellent ex- amination. At the mecting Saturany nignt both of them were thrown out aud Misses Morris and O' Rourke elected in their placas. ‘I'bese latter ladies are both grad- aates of the sisters’ school and never attended the public high school. Neither the superintendent nor myself know anything of their quahfications or ever heard of them before. Granting that they are well qualified to teach why should the chauge be made in their favor? It simply shows very plainly the aisposition that has been for some time = manifest to discriminate in fuvor of the Irish Catholics. This is unjust and un-American, and I protest against it most vehemently, 1 am an American and in favor of American institutions, but I will not stoop to some of the petty intrigues indulged in by some who claim to have more Americanism in them than I have. The present situatiou is the result of political intrigue. There has been a big change since Mr. Hunter came out as a candidate for judge of the superior court. Before that time he heartily opposed the selection of so many Catholic teachers and stormed abeut it much more than [ ever did. All this is now changed, and he 18 working as hard on the other side as any of them. Messrs, Lawson and Rain are both very anxious, for some reason to me unknown, to be re-alectod to their present positions’ as membors of the board, Theso three aspiring candidawes and Mr. Blaxsim are working hand in hand, and is it hard to tell the rea- son! Mr. Hunter stated at the meeting that he would oppose paying Miss Walker u cent for her week's work, and I told them there that if this board refused to allow the bill another board would consider 1t, and if that board refused | would pay 1t myself. Ttell you that the condition of uffairs as conducted by this clique is getting fo be most alarming. 1 will not be a party to it, and 1 will not consent to remain a member of the board and be compellea to suffer the odium that must result from their actions. 1 am not a candidate for office and would not again qualify if elected to one. I have at heart only the best interests of the city, but 1 have yet two years to serve as member of the school board, yet I state most positively that if the two outgoiug members of the board are re-elected I will resign immedi- utely after election, and Mr. Stewart assured me Saturday evening that he would do the same. It 18 8 question for the citizens to deter- mive. The re-election of these members w mean that their policy is avproved, and ours, of course, disaproved. If, therefore, our policy does nol meet with the approbation of the citizeus it is far better that others should take our places, Matters have come to such & pass that this stand is necessary in justice to ourselves, 1 am perfectly willing to let the public decide the case, and by that decision I will abide.” o TR Thy Mankattan sporting heudq'rs 418 B-way.

W, Crofts addressed an un usually large congregation in the Con- gregational church at the morniog hour yesterday. It was the third and concluding sermon of @ series the pastor has delivel ed upon the: subject of the Holy Spirit, His text was Luke 24:40, “And behold I send the promise of wmy Father upor you; but tary ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high,” The speaker rapidly sketched tho situa- tion of the aposties at the time the words of Christ were spoken. “Our Lord had left a great work for his disciples to do, but they were not fully prepared to do that work, They were to wait for the outpourings of the spirit. The promise is contained in Joel 25-20, and Acts 16-21; “And it shall cowe to vass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your dsughters shall prophesy, aud your young men shall seo vision: your old men shall dream dreams; my servants and ou my housemaidens 1 will pour out in those days my spirit and they shall prophesy. And it shall como to pass that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ‘The church needs the same divine power today to overcome worldliness; to lead it to greater consecration; to couvince the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and 0 give eficacy to the means used forthe salva- tion of the world. All guu movements in the history of the cburch Lave been begotten by the Holy THE Spirit. Notonly m thousands of conversions, procf, but evidence is also rapid accessions to the chureh whole of tho tirst two conturies tain that ministars of the Lord, vored fearicss women and even siaves then united in bringing the gospel to the different circles of society, and that com merce likewise was o powerful agency in ing 1t to the remotest parts of the an ompire. 1t 18 equally eviaent that the y t attended the truth diffused in or with converting influence, and that as rapidly as the truth was dissemi- nated. It 18 mainly by the language em ployed by the early apologists and contro- vorsionists that we are informed con- corning the wonderful growth of the church and her rapid ndvance on the world. The triumphs of Christianity in 8o short a period can only be accounted for on the a ption that the Christian host was coustantly being sweiled by the addition of large numbers. [n succeeding ages similar outpourings of the Spirit wore attended vith the same effect. What was the reformation but the glorious revival of religion? 1t was then the Spirit convinced men of_sin, right- eousness and of judgment, Thero were storiny controversies for truth and right, but these did not stand in the way of conviction of sin and conversion to God. A large vart of the time of the reformers was taken up in eiving counsel to the inquiring and the tempted. The questions which were publicly dobated often received their importance from the connection which they had with personal interests of souls in_distress about the way of salvation. This state of things reignod throughout whole countries. Almost the entire continentof Eurove was shaken, So it has ever been in all poriods and every land. The apirit ot od has moved over the dark chaos of man's sinfulness, and by the ~use of proper agencies has devel oped a higher and better state of life There have been many romarkable religious nwakenings o our own land, and even in our own day. That of 1857 bogan with & pouriug out from on high of the spirit and grace of subplication amid one of ‘the great est commercial alarms which our country ever experienced. Although calamities of this kind usually produce a hardening effe yet it pleased God at that time by the plow. sharo of his judement to furrow the gronnd for the precious sced of salvation, and to make distresses touching worldly estate to awaken desire for durable riches, and to call forth spirituai yearnings and thirstings after the fountains of living waters, Since then the revivals under the leadership of Moody and other eminent evangelists in this coun- try and in Europa have begn remarkable in power and exteut, I'rom this we learn that God is willing 10w to pour His spirit upon the church. He is downg this. Ho stands pledged to do this We nced the spirit of God’s love to strengthen, unite and make us effactual. BLACK IS NOT FOR EVZRY ONE. A Black silk Makes a Dark Woman Look Biliou . 1t secems to be ar accepted fact that everybody can wear black, says the New York Sun. There was never any- thing more positively untrue. Black silk makes a durk woman look bilious, and black satin gives agreen tinge that would seem to combine envy with bile, Black wool dulls her skin and_takes all the lustre out of hereyes, and the oniy black she can weur with absolutely good effect is black velvet. Black cashmere is the materinl of all others that will add 1o or ke from the as the wisdom of tk artist di- s; made with perfect simplicity it will bring out every curve of the perfect ligure: eluborately draped it will conc every angle of the bad one. Black satin - makes wstout body look as if she could easily gain a good income by posing as the fat woman in a museum; but black velvet, perfectly fitted and slightly draped, is softening in its effect, and while it gives rather a majestic appearance, does not increase the size. The old idea used to be that a blonde should always wear blue, and never yel- low. In veality, unless it bea durk blue, a blonde should never choose it, while the wonderful pale blues dedi- cated to heaven and the babies should be given over to the bruuettes, whose warmth of coloring permit comparison with the chilly blue. What woman looks best under the sunshin A blonde. Therefore the very color of the sun itseli, yellow, should be chosen by her for evéning wear, while the warm browns that glow as 1f they had golden hearts, and the greens that permit fur trimmings should be selected for street weur, Pontocost, with be appealed to furnished by the during the It is ce men, e The Great Rock island Route, Tn changing time on Sunday, Nov. 17, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Ry. have considered every point of in- terest to the Omaha traveling public. 1f you are going to Des Moines, Chicago or any voint east, our solid vestibule Jimited train is just what you want.

S e The Divorce Cap. ‘The motto of the widow with an in- teresting chiid is: “*Train up a child in the way he should go and he will catch a second father for himself.” If yousee o woman leading a child along the pet and you want to know if she is a widow. look at the child, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Widows’ weeds do not seem to be fashionable any more. 1 think there ought to be some kind of a divorce cap. A man loes not need one. He always looks single. But if some inventive milliner will think up a design for a hat that will permit you to understand whether a woman is a spinster, married or divorced, she will save mon a great deal of trouble. The mosttrying thing for a man to find out about a woman he has fallen in love with is a husband. He can stand almost anything else and still hope.

How to Preserve thy Figure, Women who wish to preserve tho slimness and contour of their figure must_begin by learning to stana well, suys Dress. That is explained to mean the throwing forward and upward of the chest, the flattening of the back, with the shoulder blades held in their proper places, and the definite curving in the small of the back, thus throwing the whole weight of the body upon the hips. No other women hold themselves so well as the aristocratic English women. Much of their beauty lies in their proud carriage, the delicate erectness of their figures aud the hue poise of their heads. The same aristocratic carriage is within reach of any American girl who takes the pains to have it; it is only the question of a few years of eternul vigil- ance, never relaxing her watchfuine over herself; and, sitting or standing, always preserving her erectness and pose, the result being that at the end of time it has become second nature to her, and she never afterward loses it. This, in 0 great measure preserves the figure, because 1t keeps the muscles firm and well strung, and prevents the sinking down of the ficsh around the waist and hips, so common in women over thirty. and which is perfectly easy to escape.” Another thing to avoid is a bad habit of going up stairs, which most women do bent forward w th the chest contracted, which, as well as an indo- lent, slouchy manner of walking, is in- jurious to the heart and lungs. Tnree Kinds of Married Women, They were discussing a certain clever and well-know married woman who is prominent ulike.for her businessand so- cial succese=s, says the New York Even- ing Sun. “How does she write her nam asked a bright-faced listener from an other state. “*Let me see,” mused one of the group. ““I believe she always writee Mary W. Smith.” *“Then she isn’t ‘ady: still loves her husband,” said the first. *What do you mean?”’ halfa dozen women demanded at once, “Just this,” was the answer. ‘The married woman of today is of three classes—the woman who puts her nus- bund and his interests first, the woman who considers her individuality and in- terests of equal importance with her husband’s, and the woman who consid- ers that her interests should dominate his. The first woman considers the name of ner husband’s family alone amply honorable and dignifled and writes her name as your friend does. The second adds her husband’s name to her own family name and writes *Mar White Smith.” The third writes the family names with a hyphen between them and wishes to be known as ‘Mary White-Smith.” The first woman 18 con- socrvative, the second, progressive; the third, ‘advanced,’ ” and she Next season’s Shades, All dress goods and millinery trim- ming thus far imported show that prune purple and the dahlia colors are the prevailing shades next season. The beautiful coquehicot reds are giving place to yellow scarlet shades, the exuct color of & garden tomato, and hence led tomato red, says the New Yor Tribune. The vegetable kingdom is again honored in the new dahlia color, a rich blackish purple called aubergine or egg plant purple; bishop’s purple is a somewhat lighter shade of the same reddish tone of color, and the several shades of these colors end in the palest laveder tint. New montures apd flower clusters for spring show all this range of shade, be- ginning with the dark egg-plant purple, and using the more delicate tints only throw out the richer colors, so that the the effect of the clusters is dark and subdued. Blue purplesor prune shades are represented by a dark color called Hortense, and several more delicate violet colors, Blue greens are againin- troduced underthe name of Danube col- ors, and there aré a moderate number of yellowish hue or meandow greens. Pure clear blug and steely shades of blue, old rose and clear rose pinks are other[colors of the season. Ashen gray shades are in special demand, and differ Little from the sundy gray of last year. " Black Underwear in Fashion. Black is at pregent the popular color for underwear, and figures largely in all bridal outfits, oue of which recently contained not agngle article of white or bright lingerie, says the New York Sun. Black lacég, guipure and Chantilly decorae nmmffiqu tuckings and dai needlework are displayed whenever possible, and the laces are fulled on tiny ribbons of the same sombre hue. It has been quite n severe struggle to introduce the color for garments com- ing in contact with the flesh, but it has been accomplished, and the most con- ventional and refined women wear black chemises and gowns, corsets, ete., as they have long worn black hose, with a very dazzling, Frenchy and sensational effect when their suble Trillings are drawp up about gnowy, plump, dimpled and delicious specimens of woman- hood, A still later fashion isthat of wmatching the color of the gown, whether for street or house weur, in every garment worn beneath it, from the stockings to the ticoats, Woven Wind, There is_a suggestion of an inclina- tion to modify the decollete in evening dresses, not only in the dinver and re- BEE: MONDAY, FEBRUARY [ THE WORLD-OF WOMANKI Ma nufacturer General Agents for Full Line of INPLEMENTS - Farm Wagons, Soiing Wagon| BUGGIES, CARRIAGES, tIC, ETC, Agents Wanted in Every Town, espondence Soliciea Co ception gowns made with V or surplice throats and sleeves meeting the short glove, but there ar hown full dress toilets for young ladies with the same el "istics, says the Noew York imes.

A Florida lady has hit upon a design for a dress which is certainly original if not tasteful. The Tampa News terms it a “‘rattlesnake dress,” and describes it as follows: ‘‘It is of the eiffel shade, arich shade of brown, tine and beauti- ful 1n texture. It is a tailor-made gown, strictly on the severe English style; a perfectly plain skirt with a panel about seven inches wide of the tanned skin of the rattlesnake.

It will be won- derfully pretty and effective.” B - PADDY AND HIS PIPE. 1t's Mate anl Drink to Him Comforts His Sowl. The most painstaking process 1 have seen in Ireland is the filling and ignit- ing of an Irishman’s pipe, says a writer in the New York Sun. Among the poorer classes the pive is almost in- variably made of elay, Itis so short that when fixed between his teeth the bowl toucbes the end of the nose. Sometimes the owner of his pipe carries a little tin cup like the top of an oint- ment box, which he places in his vest pocket, independent of the pipe. This he places over the mouth of the vpipe when it s liv. On the truin going from Cork to Youghal I watched an old man getting ready for a smoke. He first took from his pocket about two inches of black plug tobacco called cwist., It looked strong, Then from his trousers pocket he fished a knife with a blade four inches long. He began paring off the tobaceo in thin slices from the plug until there was a little mound of it in his hand. By crushing his palms together he ground the tobacco into small pieces. All this consumed ten minutes. Apparently the to- bacco was not fine enough to suit him, for he began picking the larger pieces apart with his thumb and forefinger. After thedose had been prepared to his satisfaction he poured it into the bowl of the pipe by makinga funnel of his right Imm{’. He then placed the stem between his teeth and sat looking at the bowl cross-eyed for fully five minutes anticipating the pleasures he would enjoy when the pipe was lit. He opened the way to & conversation when anticipation had been exhausted by saying: ““Have ye ever a match, sir?” “1 gave him one. Then came the most interesting part of the perform- ance. He placed the match carefully between the thumb and forefinger of his right band, so that only & quarter of an inch of wood projecied. In the other hand he grasped the pipe. With a quick downward stroke he struck the end of the match several smart shiding blows and ignited it. With a delib§ eration which was tantalizing he held the match until it was hall consumed and then sucked the flame into the vipe. Asthe tobacco began to glow a stream of smoke as black as that from a steamship’s fun- nel poured out into the ear and a look of beatific content settled upon the old man’s fuce, This look was the outward expression of an icward satisfaction such as could not have been drawn by the smoker from a good cigar, and which found vocal expression from a nimbus of smoke: HAh, sir!

I should say myself, from the hittle 1 have observed, that the average man is in no respect suverior intellectually to the average woman, while the names of Mary Somerville, of George Sand, of Mrs. Browning and of many others are sufficient to establish that women of genius are tall and strong enough to stand beside men of genius now and for- ever. But genius—so-called—is to me a very unknown quantity, writes Robert Buchanan in the London Telegraph. I deny that it has any privileges what- ever, or that it can make any laws for itself outside the laws of Jove and sym- pathy by which the highest and lowest live. So far as this very question of mar- riage is concerned, our men nnd women of genius have often got into serious troubie—not, I think,because they have erred in theirinterpretation of its sane- tions, but because they have generally, in the face of public opinion overlooked the contract and searched everywhere for the sacrament. Nothing proves so completely the necessity of scienge of human sentiment, as opposed ‘o the still lingering dogmas of non-human spirituality, as the conduct of men like Shelley'and women like Georges Sund, Twentyfold intellectunl power would not save them from condemnation, U less genius is a synonym for goodne it is asham and a phaniom,and goodness the soul of humun_ sentiment, believes that no intellectual power whatever can justify the shameless profanation of any one human function, the cruel reading wsunder of any one human tie. s Women Who Don't Care for Opintan, *Nobody.” said o man whose long residence in New York entitles him to the distinction of being a deep and oid observer, **is so utterly indifferent to public opinion as a fashionable woman. She really does not care a rup one way or the other what the world thinks of her as long as she has a chance to exer- cise her pet hobbies. I suppose threo of the most tremendous crusades that have ever taken place against woman- kind weve, in the first pfnca, the move ment against wearing corsets; then the agitation about the cruelty of women using the dead bodies of beautiful song birds as ornaments for the.r hats; and thirdly, the cruelty and injustice of big hats in theaters. Yet today the women go gloriously forth lacea to the limit, with their hats covered with the corpses of beautiful birds, and wearing hats that would shame the mainsail of a down-east schooner. Man is of no ac- count whatever when he throws himself against & woman’s notion of fashion.” SPECIAL NOTICES, COUNOIL BLUFFS3, It gives the greatest degree of hoat, without dust ana there ean be 1o GREATEST MERRIAM BLOGK., BLU old You neve Their v They combin S8 FOR USE, CiTy, NO LO ALL KINDS, IXAMINE, S, TOWA.
