At the time of the fire we were already recelving our new spring stock. Our reserve stock rooms over the bullding at the corner of the alley were piled up to the ceiling with new goods walting to be marked and checked off previous to putting in stock As you know the goods in the cloak room at the corner of the alley were only slightly damaged by smoke and watel The fire started in the ceiling of the main floor, and as it grew and went upward, floor after floor fell in and crushed the ones under- neath, so that everything from roof down was pfled in one huge mass in the basement which itself was ten feet under water. The goods on the first and second floors of the |Boston store itself were almost totally destroyed. But the goods in the basement were pro- tected from the fire by the falling in of the upper floors and the surrounding tons of bricks in the walls which also fell upon them, and every drop of water that was thrown on the building eventually dropped in the base- ment and drowned the last spark of fire he goods that came from the basement in all shapes, . Some ot the goods are Some are scorched. Some are damaged by water. Some are mussed and soiled, ne are practically perfect GOODS IN RESERVE STOCK ROOM. 1t is evident to every one that goods in the reserve stock on the corner of the alley (which room s to this day as perfect as ever), could only have been but very slightly woiled by the smoke and very little by water, Truly $75,000.00 worth of goods were in this stock room on the second floor of the building at the corner of the aliey, so that this ar burnt.

Advices were received in Omaha yester- day which indicate that the appointment of a United States district attorney to succeed Ben Baker will be made next week, and that it will be A. J. Sawyer of Lincoln, or Judge Ogden of this city. It Is said that Secretary Morton has Mr. Sawyer slated for a better position, but the uncertainty of securing the latter for his favorite has caused a delay in the disposition of the dis- trict attorneyship, which is to be held in reserve for Sawyer in case he does not se- cure the other position. It is whispered that if Sawyer secures the larger plum of patronage Judge Ogden will walk off with the other. In the meantime Ben Baker will perform the duties of dis trict atorney until the matter is definitely settled. e On the Authority of Cities. SPRINGFIELD, 1L, March 10.—Attorney General Moloney has rendered an opinion that while the statutes give cities authority to erect water plants and to carry on a water supply business in the same manner as private firms and give them authority to erect electric plants to light streets, it did not give them authority to do a lighting business and receive compensation from citi- zens. - REALTY THE MARKET, INSTRUMENTS placed on record March 1894, 10, WARRANTY B A Towle and w A Cudahy 1ot 1, block 2, West Omaha..........5 20,000 N B Kendall to F B Mumaugh, 1ot b, block 1, Kendall's add......

Sult Agninst the Reorganization Deelded in Favor of the Defendinta, NEW YORK, March 10.—Theodore Sutro, who has for nearly five years been endeavor- ing to reorganize the Sutro Tunnel company, has recelved word from Carson City, Nev., that the suit against the reorganization has been decided In favor of the defendants, after having been under the consideration of Judge Hanley since last March. The plaintiffs in the case were Mrs. Frank J Symmes of San Francisco, Jos Aayon of Parls, France, and Fairfax H. Wheelom of Santa Barbara, Cal. The defendants in- clude the Union Trust company of, this city, the directors of the Sutro Tunnel company, J. J. M. Seligman, Maitland" Plreips: & Co., The Comstock Tunncl company and other bankers who jolned in the reorganization scheme, Mr. Sutro yesterday told of his ®ftorts to put the tunnel company back into the hands of the stockholders, who number 5,000 or 6,000, and are distributed over Europe, as well as this country. After the McCalmont brothers, London bankers, had foreclosed a mortgage on the property for $2,000,000 he told how he had asked for voluntary con- tributions of 50 cents ' share on the $2,000,000 of shares, after having made an arrangement with the McCalmonts to accept $1,000,000 in satisfaction of the mortgage, how only one-half of the stockholders had responded favorably and how he had inter- ested the hunkers mentioned in forming a syndicate to save the property to no avail. When asked if additional suits of similar character had been entered Mr. Sutro re- plied that such suits had been begun, but he understood that Judge Hanley's action was of so exhaustive and sweeping a char- acter that the plaintiffs have no ground to stand upon, and he could not see how they could proceed further. | SUNDKE.

John's Episcopal Church Presented with a Handsome Rood-Sereen, SIGNIFICANCE ~ OF THIS FURNITURE Trinity Methodist Arranges Its Fifth Annunl Course of Lectures-Who the Speakers Are~Holy Trinity Mission Ser- vices —Pulpit Pointers, A handsome rood screen has just been placed in St. John's Episcopal church. It is the gift of friends of the church, who desire to have their identity unknown. The rood seteen separates the nave from the choir. It §s a light structure of polished oak, about nine feet high and running en- tirely across the church. It may be de- scribed as an ornamental cornice, sur- mounted in the center by a cross and sup- ported by lght oaken pillars. About two and a half feet from the floor is a railing, underneath which is openwork paneling cut in @ quatrefoil - design. The word rood means cross and the screen takes its name from the cross or crucifix, which always surmounts it. Anclently rood screens were universal in English churches and many of the old ones remain in the cathedrals and larger churches. They are often constructad of stone and sometimes, as in th se of modern screens, of wood and wrought iron. In Puritan davs most of the rood screens were destroyed or mutilated, and Archbishop Laud commanded that whenever that was the case a railing be at least placed around the altar. This 1s the origin of our modern altar rail. The s in ad- dition to its decorattve value, sery to em- phasize the distinction between the nave and the choir. Symbolically, the former repre- sents the church militant on earth, and that is why the litany, a penitential office, is al- ways said there. The choir represents the church in paradise, and so it is there that the offices of praise, such as matins and even- song, are sung by choristers robed in white and placed beyond the veil. At a meeting of the officers of St. John's church, held Monday, March 5, 1894, the fol- lowing appropriate resolution was passed: Wherdas, Some kind friends have gener- ously provided means to for a_ hand some rood screen for St. John's church; be it Resolved, That the officers of said church hereby expr their hearty thanks to th donors for this valuable and most accept- able gift. Holy Family Mission Program.

OMAHA, March 10.—To the Editor of The Bee: In all this talk about America for the Americans and plans for saving our country from the evils of foreign ignorance, we for- get that immigration if exactly what we want, provided we can soon enough convert ignorant forelgners into intelligent citizens. But what means are we providing for this? Our public schools, to be sure. ‘This poor camel Is made to bear all the burdens of education—moral, social, industrial and in- tellectual. At best it is but a clumsy beast, not equal to this complex office. Its educa- tion is largely intellectual, and so far it is good, but men do not live wholly in their heads, nor by their heads. Men and women can be more quickly converted to Ameri- canism_through their hearts and homes than through their intellects. I admit that our public schools are doing a great deal, but they are not doing all that needs to be done. Any ecarnest school teacher whose work lies in the forcign dis- tricts of our cities will tell you that she is but touching the surface of what ought to be dome. A little Bohemian girl was prat- tling to me the other day of ler big cousin who was in the High school. I said to her: “Don’t you want to go to the High school some day?’ “No,” she replied, “I want to work, my cousin she no good about the house. T am going to stay at home and work.” She was right. But I thought to myself, “How are you going to learn to work to the best advantage? You know very little of a really well managed house. You will grow up and marry a man whose ideas of American manners and morals are learned in a saloon. You two ignorant for- cigners will live and rear your children here in this essentially foreign settlement. How long will it take to Americanize you and your children and grandchildren by this superficial, purely intellectual process?” Do not these wise statesmen see that best way to convert the men to th American citizens s through the women? It is more American homes we want, not more politicians, It is true we have sewing schools for girls, but they are mission schools. They meet but once a week. What is needed is a school where the pupils pay for their trein- ing, if it is only 2 cents a lesson, The true American citizen is not a pauper, nelther are these thrifty Bohemians paupers until we demoralize their self-respect by our well meant mission_enterprises. Morcover, these foreign girls want to learn more than to sew. They want to learn to cut and fit and buy to the best ad- vantage; to cook and keep house neatly and cconomically. 1t some good woman in Omaha with a few hundred dollars at her command wishes to immortalize herself and leave behind her an influence upon Amerfcan politics thui will tell more than fifty years of empty voting, let her start an industrial school for girls in the district south of the tracks and bes tween Sixteenth street and the Missouri river. JOM. S, the e District Court Notes.
