OPENING OF NIGHT SCHOOLS Overa Hundred Anxious Students Attend the First Sessions. ONE PUPIL 1S FORTY-NINE YEARS OLD 1| Women Whose Children Have me Through the Pablic School Enroll and Say 1t is “Thelr T n Now."” ‘When school opened on September 1 the Streets were filled with unwilling attend- ants, whose feet moved languidly in the di- rection of tho brick prison houses which shorten play hours for nine months in the year. It was a different crowd that turned toward the night schools to attend the open- ing session last night, A hundred or more workers whose lives Bave been blessed with little sunshine gath- ered at Comenius and Kellom schools and started in on five months' study, months that are the brightest of all the vear to the unfortunates who have been deprived of the echool privileges which are regarded so 1ightly by young people who are more hap- pily situated, “How much work can we shirk?" {3 the question that s uppermost In the minds cf many of the pupils in the day schools. At the night wessions ““How much can we ac- complish?’ s written on the tense faces of the puplls who are struggling with les- #ons that are rendered doubly hard by the weariness that follows a day of toll, Men and women who had never been frside a school bullding before registered Jast night and began the long ascent which stands between them and the edu they have coveted for years. whose home duties have prevented from entering school in the past hegan lost night on the reading lessons which they heard their children prattle about years ago. ““My children are through school and now it 18 my time,” one mother explained in broken English when a teacher asked her what work she had taken. I can read pretty well in German, but the English is #0 hard for me and T want to get «o I can read the papers. [ (hink I can get along in the fourth reader all right.” Travis Walker of the Comenius school is one of the oldest puplls who began work 1ast night. He Is an intelligent colored man 49 years of age. Until last vear he had never attended school. Five months of night work carried him through the second reader and enabled him to read quite well, Usunl Order Reversed. In night school the older people are nearly all in the lower grades and the young pu- pils are more advanced. No work Is glven above that of the eighth grade. The sixth, seventh and eighth grades at the night ses. slons are made up chiefly of boys and girls who had an opportunity to attend school it their earlier years, but were compelled to become breadwinners before they were prepared for the High school. Three boys and two girls, all members of one family and the eldest not more than 18, registered at the Coménius school last night. The eldest boy acted as spokesman for the little party and explained to the teachers that he and his brothers and sisters were all employed in one of the large down- town stores. Among the pupils enrolled at the Kellom echool were two middle-aged women who do not speak a word of English and were brought to the building by children who acted as [nterpreters. Two years in America had not given the women & Jknowledge. ot English. The thildren learned English so: fast at school, 80 one of the 1ittle tots explained, that the mothers de- clded they would try to lay Itallan aside by atténdance at the night school At the Kellom school Miss Hulda Isaacson 15 in charge of the night work and 1s as- sisted by Miss Nancy Lewis and Miss Irene Underwood. The work at the Comenius bullding is under the direction of Misi Margaret Scott, who is assisted by Mis Clara Cooper, and Mrs. Jeanette L. Wood- ward. UNITED WORKMEN CELEBRATE Lodges of Omaha and South Omahas Observe Order's Thirty-Third Anniversary, Hundreds of members of the Anclent Order of United Workmen, with thelr wives and sweethearts, packed themselves into the temple at 110 North Fourtetnth street last night in honor of the thirty-third an- niversary of the founding of the order. Hun- dreds more were crowded along the hall- ways ahd stairs and clear down on the side- walk in an attempt to reach the room where the ceremonies were proceeding. Tt was in 1868 that John J. Upchurch or- ized the first lodge of this order in Meadville, Pa. He had associated with him Just fourteen men, and this little band was the nucleus of what Is now a great fra- ternity with 300,000 members in the United States. It seemed last night as If every one of the 2,800 members of the Ancient Order of United Workmen in Omaha and South Omaha had concentrated at this an- niversary gathering. The hall proved en- tirely inadequate to hold them. Every lodge in Omaha and South Omaha was represented, some twelve in all. The drill tesms from most of the lodges, too, were ‘there n uniform, but without arms, and the captains of the difterent teams throng ncted as ushers to seat people. Altogether it wi greeted Brothér Lancaster, chalrman of the central committee, when he finally called ABSOLUTE SECURITY, : Qenuine Carter’s Little Liver Pills. Must Bear Signature of the of THE OMAHA DAILY BE TUESDAY, OCTOBER Woman’s Work in Club and Charity The department of political and social science of the Woman's club held its first meeting of the sesson yesterday afternoon and, despite the threatening weather, there was a large attendance. Mrs. C. 8. Lobin gier, leader of the department, presided The program committee presented, as the result of ita meeting last week, the follow- ing subjects for consideration and dis- cussion at the fourteen meetings of the department (his winter: A pure water sup- ply for the bottoms and other districts in need of it; investigation of billboards aud other means of objectionable adver- tisements; care of streets and alleys: care d cultivation of vacant lots; public’parks and playgrounds; care of school and pri vate grounds. As the city improvement committee of the club s this year listed under the political and social sclence department It was de- cided that all effort be applied along the same lines. After some discussion it was decided that the two last subjects be dropped from the list and that the first effort be to secure the pure water for dis- tricts where there is so much need of it The committes appointed last week re- ported the waterworks company willing to co-operate with the women in the matter and a committee was appointed to go down to the district to locate suitable places tor hydrants, A report will be made to the waterworks company «t once. The eare and cultivation of vacant lots was next taken up, the plan being to certain the owners of the vacant property about the city and endeavoring to secure its use to deserving persons desiring to cultivate It. It was suggested that the department give some sort of entertain- ment to ralse funds to buy seeds to be used in this work The matter of continuing the services of the former Woman's club depot matron at the Unlon and Burlington stations was discussed, and after reports from many of the women who have had occasion to in- vestigate her work its necessily was so apparent that it was advised that the various women's organizations of the city be asked to support the work, that it may have even stronger backing than it form- erly had. A report was made of the progress of the work of the Woman's club philan- throple committee. The women seemed in favor of hiring some trained worker to conduct the cooking classes, but no definite plan has as yet been formulated for the instruction of the other Industrial classes, The next meeting will be held November 11, when the subjects of billboards and advertising will be discussed, At its meeting Monday evening the ex- ecutive board of the Nebraska Federation of Woman's Clubs effected an admirable Adjustment of the Interests of the various factions of the federation, created during the recent effort to secure the State Trav- eling Library commission, by combining the aspirants and logical candidates for the fifth membership of the commission, as the women were concerned 0 far in one com- mittee. Mrs. Belle M. Stoutenborough was elented librarian by the Wayne convention, that office still being necessary, as the fed- eration library has not yet been turned over to the state commission. At Monday's meet ing the executive board appointed Mre Stoutenborough chairman of the library committee, with Mrs. Steel of Fairbury and Miss Margaret O'Brien of Omaha the other members These are the only appointments that have yet been made for the standing com- mittees and it is probable that this com- bination will effectively reach and stim- ulate all of the library interests that there are in the federation. It is probable that the federation collection of books will be turned over to the commission this week Mr. Wier of the commission has arranged to confer with Mre. Stoutenborough this week regarding methods for beginning and carrying on the work of the traveling library, her thorough kuowledge of thoe Iibrary interests of the state making her counsel most valuable to the commission. The Young Women's Christian association held a reception last ovening in honor of Mrs. Dora Cady Smith of Cleveland, former general secretary of the Omaha assocla- tlon. The rooms were decorated with as- paragus greens and white bunting, and light refreshments were served during the even- 1ng. the gathering to order at 9 o'clock. The showy uniforms of the men and bright gowns of the women were till further en- hanced by decorations of palms and flags Miss Lilllan Clawson opened the program with a piano wsolo. Following came the address of Chairman Lancaster, which was an historical sketch of the life of the order and a commendation of its achlevements Next was a song by Pearl Morrls and then Grand Master Workman Jaskalek spoke. More musie, this time by a quartet, was followed by the address of Grand Chiet of Honor Adella Harding. Grand Deputy Van Dyke then exemplified in a most in- teresting manner the “screen work” of the order, and the program closed with the Anclent Order of United Workmen parting song, entitled the “Closing Ode,” in which all the audience jolned. At the completion of the program a handsome anniversary souvenir was given each person present. It conslsted of a half- tone cut of the symbol of the order on glazed paper, with the motto, “‘Charity, Hope and Protection,” standing out boldly above a likeness of the founder, John J Upchurch, Then the hall was cleared of chairs anl dancing was begun, this being continued until late at night. The lodges represented at the celebration were Nos. 17, 18, 96, 95, 173, 169, 209, 322, 314 and 66. MARKET ORDINANCE COMING At General Committee Mecting Mr. Hascnll Announces It Will Be Ready T ht. At the general committee meeting of the city councll yesterday afternoon Mr. Has- call amnounced that the ordinance provid- ing for the condemnation of the property on Jackson street, which is proposed as a market site, was not yet completed by City Attorney Connell, but would be finjphed in time for consideration at the regular meet- ing Tuesday night. Very little discussion of the matter oc- curred, but in that connection a communica- tion from the Bemis Bag company was read. This invited the councilmen to visit the | headquarters of the company, where it was promised they would ascertain some very good and sallent reasons why the market site should not be moved to the new Jack- son street location. The old difficulty concerning the sewers on the Redick te was brought up, the agents of the property offering to pay one- halt of the expense assessed against them for the work done. By common consent the matter was lald over for one week. The figures are about $1,700, payment of which in tull is refused. Considerable fervid discussion of Comp- troller Westberg's statement of the deficit in the sinking fund resuited in an agreement being reached by the seven councilmen pres- ent that they were willing to let the cou- pons due on January 1 next be provided for the same as in former years, by drawing against the 1902 levy a little in advance of its actual making in February. e— Schools in Porto Rie The expense of maintalning schools In Porto Rico is very high it we consider the amount spent for the small number of pupils enrolled.

TO COUNTERACT HOSTILITY OF GERMANY Intent 1s to Avert the Dan, ploding the Powder Ma the Far East=Note ot De- finnce to All Powers. LONDON, Oct. 1 .—(Correspondence of the Assoclated Press.)—The November number of the National Review, to be issued October 29, will contain a striking article advocating the establishment of an alliance between England and Russla, mainly for the purposc of counteracting the alleged serlous hostility of Germany toward Great Britain. The article is written anonymous- ly, but the Aseoclated Press is in a posi- tion to state that it is the joint contribu- tion of writers who not only thoroughly un- derstand the subject, but are on Intimate terms with the members of the cabinet, though the National Review distinctly dis- owns any government inspiration for the article. The following suggestions for an Anglo- Russian understanding are submit The Near East. “With regard to the near east the b would be that, whilst Russia abstalned from any attempt to Interfere with the status quo iu Egypt, we should frankly rec- ognize that the fulfillment of what Russia rogards as her historic mission in the Ba kan peninsula conflicts with no vital Brit- feh interests and that in Asiatic Turkey we should abstain from favoring the develop- ment of German schemes of expansion. Peraia and Central Asia. “With regard to Persla and Central Asla, we might offer Rusaia our co-operation in | the development of rallway communication between the Casplan and the Perslan gulf, and in securing for her a commerelal outlet on the gulf in return for an wndertaking on the part of Russia to. respect the political status cuo along the shores of the gulf and to recognize our protectorate over Afghan- 1stan, The Far East, “With regard to the far east, the question is necessarily more complicated, as Japan would have to be taken into the counsels of the two empires and a basis of agreement arrived at which would satisfy her as well As Russia and Great Britain, “‘As far as Japan is concerned, such a ba- sis might be found by the recognition by Russia and England of the Japan claim to an exclusive sphere of influence in Go- rea. “Japan would, presumably, in return for this concession, have no objection to a for- mal agreement under which Great Britaln would recognize Ruesia's clalm to regulate her political and commercial position In Manchuria and Mongolia by direct negotla- tion with China, and Russia would in like manner recognize Great Britain's claim to regulate in tl me way her political and commercial position in the Yangtse valley, each power binding itselt to give no sup- port in those reglons to the enterprise of any other powers With regard to all other questions in China, Great Britain, Russia and Japan would agree to take no steps without mutual consultation Safeguard the United States. ““The fact of Russia belng & party to such an agreement would give France a guaran- tee that her interests would be taken inte due consideration, while our participation would afford a natural safeguard to the commercial interests of the United States. “The effect of such an agreement, ac- companied by the customary demon- strations in such cases, public decja- rations by the soverelgns and their of- ficial representatives, and an exchange of visits by thelr respective fleets, would at once rémove the danger of a sudden explo- sion, which must continue to hang over the whole world so long as the far east remains the powder magazine of intern tlonal rivalries and conflicting Interests which it is at present “The natural consequence of this under- standing would be that in the event of war between Germany and Russfa, Great Britain would remain neutral and in the event of war between Great Britain and Germany, Russia would remain neutral Russia would no longer give cause for sus- picion that it was instigating France to make war against us, as Count Muravieft a1d during the Fashoda crisis, and Great Britain would cease to be suspected at St. | Petersburg of encouraging Japanese hos- tility to Russia. Japan, on its side, would be relleved of the menace of a possible revival against it of the triple alliance of 1805, Closer friendship with Italy and the | maintenance of the understanding with Portugal are urged as being vital to Eng- land’s interests. Note of Defiance. A note of deflance s sounded at the con clusion of this jmportant article. “The navy bill in Germany was carried through,” | it 18 stated, “with the avowed object of cre- ating a navy which would be able to keen the North sea clear. We have no intention of clearing out of the North sea or out of any other sea. We seek no quarrel with any power, but It Germany thinks it is to its Interest to force one upon u not shirk from the ordeal, even should it appear In the lists with France and Russia as its allles. Germans would, however, do well to realize that if England |s driven to it, England will strike home. Close to the foundation of the German empire, which has hardly emerged from | Its artificial ptage, there exists a powder | magazine such as !s to be found In no other country, namely, social democracy. In the case of a conflict with Great Brit- aln misery would be caused to large classes | of the German population, produced by the total collapse of subsidized industries: far- reaching commerelal depression, financial collapse and a defective food supply might easily make that magazine explode.” Mortaljty Statistics.

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 28.—The slowness in the negotlations between the govern- ment and L. S.
