The great Tire in the Boylston building in Boston, Mass., occupied by the Continental Clothing house, at first seemed an inciplent blaze, says the Boston Herald, but later in the evening it turned out to be quite a serious affair, The Continental occuples nearly the entire building, including the sixth floor, in the | tollet room of which flames were first discc ered by William Connors, the night watch- man. He immediately ran down stairs ard pulled in an alarm from box 53. The fire instantly apparatus was on the scene almos but the fire had worked its way into the p: titions before their arrival. After a short fight it was supposed that the fire was prac- tically extinguished and a portion of the «p- paratus had staried on its return to quar- ters. Chief Webber and Assistant Clief Regan went up to the roof, however, and found that the fire had gone clear across the roof on the Boylston street side. Realizing that they had an unlooked for job ahead of them a second alarm was ordered. The unexpected spread of the flames was caused by the faulty construction of the roof. The cellings were plastered on wire netting instead of lath, which caused great inconvenience to the firemen, for when they began turning their hose on the ceiling only small holes could be made and it was a long and difficult job to get at the real seat of the fire, The sixth floor, which is Continental as a store room for both their wholesale and retail stcck, was damaged by smoke, as well as water, on account of its close proximity to the fire, and more or less water found its way to the lower floors. None of the clothing came in contact with the flames, but, confining the fire as they did to the rear of the sixth floor, the damage by water will go above the $75,000 mark. The Continentil carried nearly $150,000 worth of clothing on this floor alone, YN T SORL RS .

EASTERN NEBRASE.ATEACHERS. Papers and Discussions at Yesterday's Meet- ing—Will Come to Omaha Again, The first annual meeting of the newly or- ganized Educational Association of Eastern Nebraska was concluded in the city hall yes- terday afternoon. The organization was the outgrowth of the efforts of Superintendent Hill of Douglas county, and the end of the two days’ session leaves the young association the possessor of a large membership roll and every prospect of a successful andprofit- able existence. It was the first idea to com- bine the teachers of Douglas, Sarpy and Cass counties into a society for mutual informa- tion and profit. But the suggestion was so well received that when the meeting con- vened the representatives of five additional counties were allowed admission, thus ma- terially adding to the importance of the or- ganization. The attendance was somewhat improved yes- terday morning, although it was nearly 10 o'clock before the convention settled down to business. The report of the committee on constitution was accepted and the c:nstitution which they recommended was adopted with no material change. It provides for the elec- tion of a president from one county and a vice president from each of the other coun- ties represented in the association. The regu- lar annual meeting cf the assoclation is set for the Friday and Saturday fcllowing Thanks- glving day in each year and such additional meetings may be had as are considered neces- sary. Tho dissension that appeared Friday in regard to the location. of the next meeting emed to have been harmonized during the recess and yesterday a motion to hold the next meeting in Omaha was adopted without 2 dissenting vote, Tho first paper yesterday W. N. Halsey was read f Plattsmouth, who discuss the question, “How to Make Pupils Am- bitiougly Discontented.” He argued that a reasonable diseatisfaction with one's progress and surroundings was what spurred men and nations on to higher levels, Contentment was a chain that hindered all advancement. The successful teacher was the one who set a standard for pupils and led them toward it, step by step. The teacher should have defin’ts ideas and practical standards for the puplls and make them work to attain such standards The speaker referred to the system of offer- ing marks, rewards and prizes for particular ach'evements and said that while the princi- ple was wrong, by a judiclous use of the lower motive the higher might be developed. Knowledge could not be agpreciated until some measure of it had been acquired and if the pupil could be induced to work for a prize he might in that way acquire a healthy appetite for addit'onal wisdom. The subject of the paper fly by Superintendent O'Connor of West Point, who also urged the Nebraska teachers to attend the meeting of the National Teach- ers association at Denver next July. After a plano selection by Miss T F. B, Morrow of Louisville lead a ¢ the subject, “Resolved, That the Higher Education by the § Not an In- justica to the Taxpay The other speakers on this subject were W. Fox of Spring- field, M. H. Allen cf this city and J. A. Col- lins of Fremont, the last two taking the negative, At the afternoon session neither B. B, Smith of Craig nor G. W. Rice of Herman, who were to read papers, were present, so the greater part of the afternoon was deyoted to additional discussion of the subject of the morning's debate.Among the speakers was ex-State Superintendent Goudy, who declared that the question of whether the support of higher education by the state was an injustice to the taxpayer was already decided in the negative, There might be, however, some question a8 to the method by which those taxes were to be raised. At present all the people were taxed for th support of higher education, while a part of them were taxed for elementary instruction. It was his opinion that the entire people should be taxed in cach instance. In the courss of the debate one speaker made a forcible allusion to the increasing uumber of pupils who were being educated ut the expense of the state in the State unis versity who should more properly belong in the High schools of their respective countiay, and this sentiment was received with demon strative approbation. On2 of the features of the afternoon session was a “Model Recltation in Primary Read- ing,” which was given by Miss Cebella Schal of this city, with the assistance of a class of about twenty pupils of the primary grade - - Better Every Year, Time was when the glorious climate of California™ did not attract tourists.

So as the district court go the Polish church squabble has been tinished, Judge Am- brose handing down a decision sterday which is generally a victory for Bishop Scan- nell and his associates in the suit. Judge Ambrose held that the Nebraska Sav- ings and Exchange bank had a lien on the property of the church for the $5,000, this ba- ing the main issue in the case. He decided that the land was purchased and that the church bu'lding was erected solely for the purpose of preaching therein the Roman Cath- olic doctrines and that the house cculd not be used for any other religion or creed. He | therefore held that as the present pastor was not recognized by Bishop Scannell as a Roman Catholic priest he was holding the position without authority. As to the question of whether the transfer of the deed of the property by Bishop Scan- nell to the St. Paul's Polish church was valid, he decided that it was not, but that it remains in the hands of the bishop in trust, the property to be administered by him for the benefit of the comgregation. He advised the congregation to gather together and wor- ship as Roman Catholics; as under his deci- sion the property was purchased for the Roman Catholic church. The case of the Standard Stamping com- pany against Hetzel was decided last week by the supreme court in favor of Mr. Hetzel. This is a case growing out of the closing up of the Beo Grocery store on Sixteenth street. The Standard Stamping. company attached this store| claiming association with L. G. Hetzel. This has beema long drawn out battle and Mr. Hetzel feels highly elated over his victory. it Settlea by Judge e Asks for Another Court. John W. Peterson has asked that the suit brought against Swift and Company for $10, 000 damoges be transferred from the district to the circuit court of the United States, the amount asked for being over $2,000 and the headquarters of the company being in Illinols, Peterson is a workman whom the company employed during the strike in South Omaha last summer. The strikers laid for him one morning and nearly killed him by beating him over the head with iron bars. He claims that the company was to blame for his injuries, as it had not informed him of the danger he was incurring by entering its employ. ANOTHER ROAST ON HAYDEN BROS From the Musical Courier of New York. Hayden Bros., the Omaha department house which succeeded in securing the rep- resentation of various eastern piano houses and advertised the planos of every manu- facturer to secure for cash their pianos in large quantities direct from the factory, nat- urally at tleir retail prices, they are making nothing or losing money on these instru- ments. . They interfere with trade in Omaha, but cannot go on for ever. Of course they have the inallenable privil- ege of buying planos, advertising them and selling them. No one could Interfere with that, and under the circumstances no one desires to. Hayden Bros., the legitimate plano business of that kind when shown this said they were thankful to the Musical Courfer for the privilege bestowed and that they will keep right on selling these planos lower than ever. —_—— DISCOURSES ON HAMLET. article, Walker Whiteside Gives Tia Iden Melnncholy Dane. Walker Whiteside is ambitious to appear before a London public, just as he was en- thusiastic to receive the judgment of a New York public. Arrangements were about perfected for Mr. Whiteside's essay into the home of art in London when the sickness of his manager somewhat changed the pro. gram, although neither the tragedian nor the manager has given up the hope of a two weeks' engagement upon a stage made immortal by a Betterton, a Garrick, a Kean, a Macready and an Irving Off the stage Walker Whiteside Is.unas- suming, modest of his talents, a pleasing talker, with conservative idcas as to the fu- ture of the Shakespearean drama. Speaking of his Hamlet, Mr. Whiteside sald Friday night, on coming off from his scene with his mother in the closet, My prompt book is entirely my own work, having spent years upon it before I ever attempted the impersonation of the prince before a eritical public. 1 have been told that it differs considerably from Mr. Booth's book, but whatever is done, I have tried to have reason back of it all. ~ Hamlet is 50 profound a study that the more I play him the more am I lost in bis philosophy.” When asked If he believed Hamlet was in love with Ophelia, ho said after a moment's thought, “I believe e loved Ophelia in his quiet, studious way up to the time of his father's death, then he became so enrapt with the development of his revenge that all other feclings were lost sight of. He played upon her for the purpose of carrying out his plans of revenge, Just as he twits Rosen- cranz and Guildernstern for attempting to play upon him, he plays Ophelia, althougd reverentially, for he never forgot, seeming that once she was his ideal woman. She was his poetic fancy.” Mr. Whiteside state encouraged over his reception, two weeks of losing business indicated the success the company was having from a financial standpoint. The young tragedian is anxious to add a costume play to his repertoi a comedy if possible, but, like every other actor one meets, he bemoans the dearth of good dramas. “For a vear,” said he, “I have been en- goged upon the prompt book of ‘Wine Works ‘Wonders,” an old comedy which I had some thought of reviving, but my work seems like love's labor lost, in view of the fact that the play would require a company that could not be utilized in Shakespearean pieces, en- tailing, of course, too much expense to carry two distinct companies, so I have about glven up the idea of reviving the old com- edy, However, I am on the alert for a good pla; which T want to add to my repertoire next season.’ of the that he was much nd that but ey OBITUARY. Peacefully, calmly and surrounded by hi: friends, at ‘the age of 36, on Wednesda last thére passed to the great beyond Fran- cls Smith, a _whole-souled Scotchman, whose heart ever beat responsively and sympathetically for his friends in trouble, During the course of his residence of ten vears in this city Mr. Smith made a num- ber of true friends, and all of them feel in ‘his death they 'have lost a staunch, warin-hearted _and nerous friend. Mr. Smith had a peculiarly lovable disposition, and it was simply impossible for any one to come into his acquaintance without be- ing instinctively drawn toward him. He was a man who, it may be truthfully said, was exceptionally without guile. Many can testify to his numerous acts of generosit and ‘in his death Omaha loses a mosi worthy young man, and one whom it will be hard to replace. In Mr. Smith there were united all the characteristics which go to make a good American citizen, He had the old fashioned honesty and rugged stur- diness of the Scotch, coupled with a keen appreciation of the duties that devolve upon a citizen of this great republic.
