e - ya B \lurb HE DON'T LIKE CAG LAW. Mr. Bechel Demands An Amend- ment of Council Rules. A STORMY COUNCIL SESSION. Two Hours Devoted to Wind ana One to Work—Mr. Lowry's Opinion of His Colleague. The « The cighteen renresentatives of the peo. pla, yeleped councilmen, held a three hour sesnion lnst night in which the ratio of time angling and business was as nnell, two to one. The first round at wrangling was intro duced early in the proceedings when the mayor handed in a little veto to a resolution ordering the street commissioner to do & Iittle job of work down in Mr. Lowry's ward. ‘The reason given was that no esti- mate of the cost of the work bad been fur- nished Mr. Lowry entered one of his charaoter- istically gentle protests because the mayor had picked his resolution out of & hundred of the same kind for the object of the veto. The veto was sustained. Then Mr. Lowry paid a post mortem oulogy to his little reso- lution. He said he didn’t blame his colleague (Mr. Madsen) for voting against the resolu- tion because ho didn't know any better, Mr. Madsen was too much surpris spoak, but Daniel O'Connell Merearty took the fight off bis hands and demanded., as a question of privilege, whether a member of the council had any right to cast aspersions tipon the character or intelligénce of any othier membe “He i emphasis. ‘‘lispacially 1f the member ocasting the reflection is out of the combine,” added Mr, Kus ‘The chair announced that Mr, Kaspar's remark was too deep for hi Lust week tho ‘I welve ing the appropriation reading itin full.

The council last night passed an ordinance without allowing the members to kuow ita contents, It was not right and ho would, in cuse an at tempt wus made to repeat the proceedings, ask the conrts to enjoin the mayor from proving such ordinunce. Then Mr. Whecler talked awhilg. Mr, Lowry explained that the couneil, n passing the uppropriation ordinance, had or- dered the paym of alot of whisky bills and other so-called “detective fees,” which had been rejected a number of times by the old council. After furtlier discussion tho E. Broatcn- Davis' amendment was passed and the wmat- ter wentto tho committee of the whole, echel, Ford, Kaspar, Lowry, Donnolly and Sunder voting in the negative. Mr. Be called a batt on the matter of rushing istofaidewalk resolutions through each m Ho said uscless sidewalks were ordered at overy meeting of the coun- ¢l and moved that herenfter sidewalks be ordered only on a petition of property own- ¢rs desiring such sidewalk improvements. ‘Phis evoked another burst of oratory from Mr, Morearty and Mr. O’Connor, who in behall of an ‘*‘outraged constituency’' de- mand the right Lo go on in the old way and put them down wherever wanted. + As a compromise m ure it was agreed 10 refer ull sidewalk resolutions to the com- mittes on sidewsiks and bridges. When the report of the appraisers on the Teoth street viaduct damages was pre- sented, Mr. Wheeler had a remark to male. He wanted to protest against the publici tion of any official business in the news- papers hefore its consideration by the council. 'The report of the apbraisers had been pulished ib the papers before he had achance to see them. He wanted @ stop put to that kind of work, he did, and wanted the city clerk to keep all_knowledge of municipal matters from the newspapers until the counal had comsidored the aavisability of making them public. Atter Mr. Wheelor had explained just how e wanted things run after this the report of thie appraisers was referred to the commit- tee on viaducts and The mayor also resolation sllowing R. d to not,” ruled the chair with insisted on pass- ordinance without ted n veto to the Davis to erect u . frame building covered with corrugated iron in tno five limits, tained. ‘the mayor presented s communication snent the gurbage business.

The proceeds are to ve ap- plied to the Childs-Drexel fund tor the founding of & home for enfcebled and indi- gent printers, The foundation of the fund was laid in 1886, when G.W,Chilas, proprietor of the Phil- adelphia Ledger, and Josoph Drexel of tho same city, each subscribed $5,000 to be applied to some worthy institution to be determined by the typograpical union. Since that time all the union printers vast of the Mississippi river hive on the birthdav of Mr. Childs set a thousand ems for the benefit of the fund, while those west of the Mississippi have on Mr, Drexel's birthday made a similar dona- tion, which has increased the fund to some- thing between §20,000 and $25,000, A short time ugo the corporation of Coiorado Springs tendered to the union & tract of eighty acres immediately adjoming the city and consti= tuting one of the most beauti: ful and healthful sites that could have been selected in the country, on condi- tion that a home costing ut least §20,000 be erected thercon by the close of 1801. The offer was accepted and an effort will.be made to make the home a £50,000 or 60,000 one. ‘The ball at Washington ball, which is one of n series heing given in every city of the country whore the union is of sufiicient strongth, will be one of the social events of theseason.

The clergy and Christanity have to bear the burden of a ¢reat many idiotic notions which tbey are popularly supposed to have and to hold, but I'do not think 1 have ever heard a more senseless notion ascribed to them than that the burning of the body in- terfered with the Chrisuian doctrine of the resurrection. 1 am not authorized to speak for the clergy and ministers of Omaba, but I am sure I cun no risk in saying, on behall of every man of them, that they have not the slightest objection because of the aoctrine of the resurrection, to the erection of & crematory in Omaba by Mr. Krug and his friends. Furthermore, 1 donot think that there is a full grown Chistiun in Omaha or iu tho state, outside of the hospital for the feeble minded, who will object to Mr, KKrug and his friends burying their friends if they aesire to do so, provided they comply with the law of the land, and wait until they are dead.

PLUGGING FOR ATTORNEY FEES, Judges Wakeloy and Clarkson Ken- der Decwions in a Couple of nteresting and Importants Legal Oases. Default and Judgment. Judeo Wakeloy rendered a decision in the district court relative to the owuners' rights in case of the failure of n purchaser to com-~ ply with the terms of a real estato salo con teact, The ease camo up in the suit of the Omaba Real Estate and Trast company against threo purchasers for the balance due ou coutracts. Tho defendants were willing w0 forfeit the amounts they had paid tozether with the lana, but did not want judgme for the amount of the contract price ren- dered against them. Judge Wakeley held, and laid it down as a rule to be followed in future cases of the kind that when the purchaser fais to make the payments nccording to contract, sellor can huve the property sold and if the amount received 18 ‘not sufficient to pay the amount due from the original purchaser, judgment for the balance will be given against the latter. The original owner, how- evor. must lose his title to the property. He cannot seoure judgrment for the amount of the original sale and still claim the iand by forfeiture of coutract, The samo judge also overruled a motion for a dismissal of the case of Sonnenscheim & Valentine vs Barkes and others. 'Fhis action, & suit for possession of property was originally com- menced in Cuming county. Afterwards, 1t was commenced by the piamtiffs in Douglas county. The attorneys for the defense came here to move for its dismissal, on the ground that a similar case on the same cause of ac- tion was pending in another county. The plaintiffls dismissed the Cuming county case and the one in the court hers, commenced new case in the Douglas county district court and served papers on the attorneys. T'he defense sought to have the case dis missed on the ground thatan attorney en- gaged in court is exempt from summons. The motion for dismissal was overruled, the judge holding thut while an_attorney caunot be arrested while engaged in the trial of a case, he is not exempt from civil service.

The other prisoners arraigned, all of whom pleaded not guilty, were: James Murshall, charged with arson; David Brewster, shoot- ing William Bucbanaa with intent'to kill: William Feagin, shooting Louisa Fengin with intent to kill; John Deau, stealing household goods from the residence of Fred H.

Interviewed on the subject of how billinrd balls are made, James Bur- roughes, F. Z S., of the firm of Messrs, Burroughes & Watts, Soho square, Lon- don, has supplied some very interesting information. The average number of bitliard balls cut from the tusks of an five from ench tusk 50 that the stock represents the produce of no fewer than 2,000 clephants. “We turn out,” said Mr. Burroughes, ‘‘from 10,000 to 12,000 balls & year, and to do that we must keep a very large stock in order that they may be thoroughly sed soned. Why require to be s soued is that i v is o gelatinous sub- staeco and raquires to be dried. We take a great deal of pains in the pro- coss. A ball never inks at the end grain, that is to v the way the tooth grows, but always in the diame- ter. After it has been roughed out we keop it for two or three years. “'S‘\\'n sizes of billiard balls are made one for the continental and American markets and one for the English. The former measures 2} inches to 2} inches. Immense quantities of these are manu- factured in England and shipped to both continents. The size most in use in England is 21-16 inches, which_ is the match size as used by Roberts, but 2% inches is also made. No other sizes can be used on an English billiard table, as the cushions are only built for that height of ball. The Amevican game is based on the French, and the tabies are the same size, *“The size of tusks out of which balls are turned are called scrivelloes. You cannot make a satisfactory ball out of a tusk that 1s over a certain size, becauso 1f you tuen a 2 1-16 out of a tooth that that monsures 2t or 2§ you will remove too much of the outside skin or hard surface of the tusk. The nearer you have the tusk to tie size of the ball the better surface you obtain, “The process of manufacture is vory simple, but it requires great skill. The block of ivory is placed in an iron chuck, and one-half of the ball is turned. The ring that is taken off is, in the case of the smaller size. used asa coupling ving for a pair of horses, and in that of the larger is-sent to India as a native bangle. ~After the second half has been turned it is hung up for a few months with its fellows in a net to dry. No artificial heat is8 used. They ure kept free from any @raught or air, as ivory cracks when cxposed to either a hot or cold currcent. | When considered thoroughly sousoned, they are most skillfully turned by men who have been taught this process for years, and 1t is certainly one of the most wonderful pieces of handieraft there is. There are thousands of turners 1n the’ king- dowm, but not one in a hundred will turn a billiard ball so as torproduce a periect sphere. . o < “The life of & ball is very various. A ball will not remain, perfectly true,how- ever much itis seasoned, because of the continual concussion, which causes the vells of the ivory .10 close up. If a ball is very much played with,especially in a heated room, immediately it is turned, it is very liable to crack and become untrue. I have known a ball to run untrue in a match of a thousand up.” STAGE LAUGHTER. Tno Poor Attempts Made at Being Merry in & Theatre. The average acter, who can portray pretty much all phases of sentiment, is a bad failure when his part: calls for avdible laughter. From this condition it seems to be a fair conclusion that jol- livy is more difficult to simulate than sorrow. How many well-known actors are there who laugh naturally on the stage? McKee Rankin, who has cer- tainly mastered the technicalities of his profession, has u stago laugh . that sounds like a suppressed kle, a ing_to the Dramatic Times. Whan Lawrence Barrett lnughs the cords of his neck swell with the effort, very much as they do wheu he is spouting heroie speechesat the top of his voice, Mpr. Barrymore had alaugh that reveuls his teeth, but reveals not the slightest spark of geninlit, laughs totally without expression. Mr. Drew smiles and smiies but utters no sound. Aside from the various uncanny noises produced by laughing actors, their fac- iul exoressions while undergoing the process of cachinnation are painful to witness, They look uneasy, self-con- scious and strained, a8 though the cffort hurt them. To be obliged to laugh on the stage is to eyery leadiag actor an ordeal of startling proportions. Comed- ians may find the path of laughter less lhorug, because they are allowed to em- bellish'it with eccentricity beyond the bdrders of burlesque. But sentimental actors scem go fearful of losimg their dignity that they dare not laugh with the ring of true enjoyment. A player may, with the slightest ex- erecise of his gifts, reduce au audience t0 tours, and yet be the most hopelessly absurd and “unreal laughter alive. Clara Morris can bring tears from the stoutest auditor withput a particle of feeling on her own pset. But when she tries to laugh her watchers become alarmed. We bave not heard a hearty or gentlemanly laugh upon the siage for many yoars, and wel do not under- stand why it is that actors who can per- fect the smallest detsils of other simu- latis totally fail to conuer the spivit of laughter, ¢ UEEERSY L AL subled by Riches. tings: ‘(idorge William Curtis, sitting in his philosophical Easy Chair, advises us **not ko be troubled by the riches of our neighbers.” Weara not, George.
