KING AK-SAR-BEN'S REALM — All is Merry There as Order of Knightheod is Oonferred. E. M. BARTLETT . SPEAKER OF EVENING Recalls Barly History of Kingdom of Quivera and Has to Respond to - Pcard Fixe Editors’ Night, At the second meeting of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben there wers forty good knights #34 true of the immediste vieinity who bowed in feaity before the representatives of Kiog Ak-8ar-Bem VIII, while seven knights errant from othet domaine were made welcome and given the royal greeting of the kingdom of Quivera. The unique reception given the brave esquires on.the first evening upon which the order of knighthood was conferred had been smoothed down by usage and the peo- rlo baving thlking parts were more fa- @iliur with their lines, 50 that the even- ip’s ceremonies were almost perfect. W. R. Bennett, the pulssant’ “It of the year, was absent and hie place was acceptably filed by Edgar Allen: As grand muftl “Dick” Ferris filled the Pl of M. A. Hall, not better but with the grace and pffectiveness of the trained actor. The address of the evening was de- llvered by E. M. Bartlett, than whom no one more fully appreciates the advantage of the order to the city nor can enter more fully into the Geremonies accompany- lug the enrollment 9 members. In At Beginning. Mr. Bartlett was at the birth of the or- der and was one of the members of the committee which purchased from New Or- leans the flosts whish ‘appeared on the in- itial pageant of the kaights in the fall of 1895, The talk of the former members of the board of governors was replete with memorles of former.years and advice for those to come. - The audience was so well pleased with his speech that it would not vermit him to end # when he first desired to quit, but made him respond to an en- core. After the enrollment of members and the address the msual games were played. In thest games the beginners appear to have the usual Jugk of the unskilled and it was no surprise when it was found that the high places were filled by. Harry Steel, B. F. Wearne, C. 0. Montgomery and J. B. Redfield, all of whom were among the men who first passed the vells last night. In the grand sweepstakes, however, the more mature judgment ‘of older men prevatled and the circulating medium, or, as it 1a technically termed within the borders of the land of the mysterious, “‘the dough,* was corralled principally by David Talbott, while John Steel was a close second in the finals. The wandering knights from other lands who were refreshed at the shrine of the local king were O. K. Dixon, J. L. Downs, J. Robins and F. 8. James, a party of Il- linols Central rallroad officials from Fort Dodge; Willlam J. Shea and E. M. Kidder of Chicago, and G. W. Wilson of Fort At- kinson, Wis, * Date for Editors, Previous to the meeting at the den the board of governors heid a meeting at the Omaha club, at-which It was decided to invite the editors ‘of Nebraska newspapers to visit the den Monday, May 26, and to fix o later date for the editors from other states. The. butfona’ which will be worn this year by ‘the knights will be sent by mall to each members as the yellow cards 8 membershin are received by the secre- tary. PROMINENT FORESTERS HERE Dr, Oronhyatekha, Supreme Ranger, d Party Visit Omaha for Two Hours, The several courts of ime Independent Order of Foresters of Omaha were out in force Monday afternoon to. receive a del- egation from the supreme court of the or- der which recently met at San Francisco. The delegation was headed by Dr. Oron- hyatekha, the supreme chieftaln, and fin its membership were: Blliott G.

It was the in. tention of the local committee to have en. tertained the visitors at the den of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben In the evening, but on account of several of the Canadisn and Buropean delegates desiring to catch early trains out of Chicago this morniug the party left at an early hour for that place.

MABIE ON AMERICAN IDEALS Heart of the People s Yet Unmcor- rupted by Commereialiam of the Age. H. W. Mablé lectured to a large audience in Boyd's theater Monday night on the sub- ject, “ldeals of American Life,” which closed the teachers’ course of lectures for the season. He sald in part: ‘“The glory of this country lles in its passion for the open door, in which Amer- lca is the greatest symbol. 8o lang as th! jon obtalns it will be the natlon of sympathy and of justice.” Referring to American literature he sald: “It hasn't the force, the mass and the varfety which chardcterizes the letters of the Old World, but It is saturated with fdealism. Open almost any typical Amer- lcan work and this note is struck almost at once—bellef in God, faith in ma nd his ability to advance, love for the home, plety and respect for woman. “As to American art, throughout with refinement. perfect purity, freshness and ideality and a certaln distinctiveness < of = workmanship which is unmistakably American. It is cus- tomary to identify idealism with art, but there is also an ideallsm .of life. Ideallsm is werking throughout all the stratas of our soclety. It is impossible for a culti- vated man or woman to live In a community without elevating the general tone of that community, and I belleve that this influence is 80 broad and general that it applies even to things inanimate. “America has the reputation of being a nation of moneymakers, but this is a super- ficlal appraisement of the nation as a whole. There may be a vast amount of money-mak- ing, but the heart of the country is still uncorrupted. CREDIT THE SCHEME OF HOLT English Paper Thinks Yankee Mag- nate 1is Behi Offer for Chinese Company, it is stamped In it we find LONDON, May 13.—It {s understood that Alfred Holt of Liverpool made the offer for the China Mutual Steam Navigation company’s business and that it is his in- tention to purchase the vessels outright, as the circular expressly tes that the pre- mier, employes and agents will not be taken over, but will be compensated for. The offer is not regarded as generous, as most of the vessels are nearly new, the company having sold its old steamers ad- vantageuosly to the Chinese government during the war with Japan and, bullt new ones. The Daily Chronicle in its financial ar- ticle this morning says it belleves “Mr. Hill is the buyer." The Dally Telegraph this morning prints a long interview with W. J. Pirrie, head of Harland & Wolff, shipbuilders, in. the course of which Mr. Plrrie, referring to the rumor that he negotiated the deal for the transfer of the White Star line be- cause that line was a large debtor to Har- land & Wolff, denled that the White Star company owed his firm a penny. As to the agreement to work exclusively for the combine, that, he sald, was no new thing. It had always been the policy of Harland & Wolff to refuse to work for com- peting lines. Mr. Pirrie strongly repudiated the idea that Mr. Morgan was animated by hostility against Great Britaln. He sald the people seem to fall to see that, baving acquired an interest in eo large a fleet of British it would be sulcidal on the part of Mr, Morgan to encouragé a policy of subsidizing American-bullt ships. The com- bine, he sald, was registered under Ameri- cah laws because under the English law it would be impossible to give a bonus. Mr. Pirrie generally defended the com- bine, and on the crulser question sald that Harland & Wolff were quite ready to enter a guarantee that all mercantile cruisers they built would be held at the disposal of the government for the decade of thelr contract with the combin BAND TRIES TO DROWN SPEECH Actors Finally Succeed in Getting LONDON, May 18.—There was a theatrl- cal sensation at the Royal Opera house, Leicester, on Saturday, where the Kendalls the previous evening produced a new play with much succe: At the end of the per- formance Saturday there we repeated calls for Mrs. Kendall, and as she stepped to the front, prepared to speak, the curtain was dropped and the orchestra played. The Kendalls and their company then flled out betore the curtain and stood for fully fif- teen minutes trying to get a hearing, while the band continued playing. The audience cheered the actors and threw oranges and biscuits at the band. The lights were then put out, but the audience refused to leave the buflding until Mrs. Kendall spoke in the darkness, protesting inst the dressing room accommodation of the theater. It seems that at & basar which Mrs. Kendall opened in the afternoon she made similar references, at which the management of the theater was offended. ) Morgan Slips Into Berlin, BERLIN, May 13.—J. Plerpont Morgan spent one day In Berlin last week, where be stopped at a hotel incognito. He quite successtully prevented his presence in the city becoming generally kmown.

LEWISTON, Idaho, May 18.—A special to the Tribune from Orofine, Idal reports the death at that point by suleide of Dr. F. J. Leadbrook, a prominent physician, and Miss Winnie Booth, the 19-year-old daughter of Rev. G. M. Booth, pastor of the Methodist church at Moscow, Idaho.

They did not appear for breakfast this morping and at noon, when the door of their room was opened, the girl was found dead on the bed. Beside her was Leadbrook {n a dying con- dition and he died at 3 o'clock. The couple :‘u taken morphine by hypodermie injec- on. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Board of Eduoation Meets and Eleots Teac! ers for Ensuing Year. MANY NAMES DROPPED FROM OLD LIST The room in which the Board of Educa- tion meets was taxed to its utmost capa- city Monday night, when a great crowd gathered to witness its work in the seled- tion of teachers and janitors. Ninety-four of the teachers were chosen, but the subject of Jjanitors was postponed for another week. By the time the board had finally concluded to adjourn and decided that it had done all that was expected of it the big clock at the end of the hall indicated that the hour was fast approaching midnight. Notwithstanding the fact that conjectures had been made as to what would be done by the new board In the selection of teachers, still its action in dropping off of the list 80 many of the old ones was a surprise to all. In the musical department Jessie Carpenter will fill the place last year oc- cupled by Agnes O'Conner. Frank Seykora was elected principal of the High school and Luclle Stebbins was selected as draw- ing teacher. As the vote on teachers was announced there was considerable excite- ment, President Miller belng required to call for order. Each of the applicants seemed to have one or more friends present, and each of these supporters evinced his delight or disgust without a semblance of hesitation. The llst of teachers is as follows: High School—N. M. Graham, L. Mary Ross, Frank Seykora, Eva O'Suliivan, Amber Amsler, Marle P. Kennedy, Marie Schibsy, Mary A.

And even after all these hours of bhard menal labor, outside of a mass of matter of minor Importance, little was done. The ordinance providing for the issuing of bonds to defray the expemse of the li- brary bullding was »ut upon its third feading and finally' passed and the city clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for the e of the same. The Kernegan remonstrazce was up for a hearing and after a mass of conflicting evidence had been heard, the council took a brief recess and finally returned its verdict that the remonstrency was not well founded and that the license should issue. The Al- bright people who were pushing the re- monstrance immediately filed a written no- tice of appeal. The bond of City Treasurer Howe was approved, Judges and clerks of election of the Fifth ward, who had filed a bill for $10 each, met with but little solace, as the council concluded to give them not a cent. The license committee added four more liquor licenses to the seventy granted at the speclal meeting of the council on I Saturday night, and then read a long list of people who were licensed for almost every known occupation. An ordinance creating grading district No. b1, buing from B to F streets on Twenty-seventh street, was read on its first reading. B. Jetter had a communication on file, asking permission of the council to remove the ome-story frame bullding from the northeast corner‘of Twenty-fifth and N and to erect a handsome brick structure in stead. No action was taken on same. Appraisers on the grading districts, Sev- enteenth street, from Missourl avenue to N street, and on Sixteenth street, from N to M, reported that they could not imagine how the work would injure the property of those who had falled to sign the improve- ment petition. City Treasurer Howe filed a statement, showing the condition of the fSnances of the city during the last month. A number of motions for sidewalks and crosswalks were read and a whole lot more were In prospect when Adkins rose to ex- plain that not a cent remained in the fund for this purpose. This oratorical feat had the effect of shutting off any further ad- vances to be made along ‘this line. A. M. Gallagher, representing the com- bined Ancleat Order of United Workmen lodges of the city, asked the council to re- mit the license fee of a circus to be here next week, inasmuch as it was for the benefit of the lodge that the entertalnment was coming. His prayer was granted. Sealed bids were opemed and let as fol- lows: Grading of Sixteenth street, between M and N streets; Seveuteenth street, Mis sourf avenue to M street and the embank- ment of the alley; Twenty-fourth and ¥ street, from F to G street, Daniel Hannon.

Kurturst, trom ON SCHOOL BOARD EXPENSE Mrs. Belden Defends Report Made by Woman's Olub Committee. ANSWERS BOARD MEMBER'S CRITICISMS Insists that Figures Contained In the Report Were Substantially Cor- rect, Deapite Sehool Board Denials, The Woman's club held its regular meet- ing Monday afternoon and the discussion of the report recently made relating to the expenses of the Board of Education fof the current year was continued by Mrs. C. C. Belden, Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. McGilton. It will be recalled that in The Bee of Sat- urday last members of the board undertook to point out that errors had been made in the Woman's club report. Mrs. Belden's atement, in answer, is as follows A member of the Board of Education says in Saturday Evening's Bee that the committee of the Woman's club has fallen into errors and he attempts some explana- tions to show that the figures given In the report are wrong. Either this member is not at all careful to state the facts in his inter- view, or, what appears more likely, he is lHl‘mfflln‘ to explain something which he himself does not understand. He says: “The women have fallen into the error of calculating the expenses upon the calendar year.” This sounds queer from a member of the board, who knows, or should know, that the board itself made the figures used in the report calculating expenses by calendar years. The member should know, too, that for the calendar year 101 estimate was made to the city council at the beginning of the year, funds needed and a report was made at the end of amounts which had been expended; also that for the year 1%2 estimate was made of the amount proposed to spend during that calendar year, and = demand was made upon the city council for funds to that amount. The member says: .“They have also es- timated the school year at forty weeks, when we only hold thirty-eight weeks, and have never held .more {han that in the grades since 1895." If the member would inform himself he would find, as the com- mittee of the Woman's club found, that during the year 1%01 the schools were in session forty weeks. It is proposed -that in 1902 they shall be in session only thirty- elght weeks. fo says further: “As a result of these false promises they have made the total expenditires of the present board at least $50,000 in excess of what they will be.” The member should not thus discredit himself and his fellow members. The statement of what expeditures for tne year 1902 will be was taken bodily from the estimate of the board {tself showing what funds would be needed for the various purposes and what the board proposed to expend. It there are any ‘false premises” the esti- mate made by the hoard, the estimate on the atrength of which the board demanded from the city council a certain sum of money for the schools, that estimate con- stitutes the “false premises.” Ho mays that the payroll s about $40.000 a month and two weeks less of school would save half that amount, about $20,- 000. If the member were famillar with #chool affairs he would know that almost the only’saving in shortening the school year two weeks Is the saving In the teach- ers’ wages. The teachers’ payroll is about $30,00 a month, so that the saving by cut- tng off two weeks of &chool is only about $10,000. Janitors’ pay is not a great deal less In vacation than in term time; repairs cost the same, fuel the same, textbooks, supplies, Interest, improvements all cost about the same whether thirty-six, thirty- eight or forty weeks of school constitute the year. He says: ‘‘We have placed §20,000 in the sinking “fund for the first time in_several ears.”” The facts are that in 1898 the oard | ‘aced In the sinking fund $18,000; in 1900, $20,000; in 1901, $27,566. The sinkin tund was on'y considered and noted, an due allowance made for it in the report of the Woman's club commitise. The pres- ent board will not, in 1902, yut $20,000 into this fund “for the first tirae in several years."” The “other items of the kind" on which he talks vaguely of saving $10,000 hardly require discussion. He specifies nothing. One \curious statement he makes in clos- ipg. He speaks of 35,000 which is to_ be “saved” upon the new High school, The board s now grading, laying walks, etc., there, 80 that evidently this $5,000 s to ba expended, not “saved.” No {tem of addi- tlonal expense amounting to 35,00 for the new High school appears In the estimate of expenses made by the board last Jan- uary, so that very likely this $5,000 is to be expended in addition to the amounts asked for in that estimate, The report of the Woman's club commit- tee was made after much Investigation, and while it may bossibly contain' some small errors (it would be difficult to avold errors entirely among 8o many items) no such errors have so far been pointed out, and the report was not made as the result of elther misapprenension or misinforma- tion. The proposed changes in the constitution will not be made untll the next meeting on May 26. Mrs. Burney read a report on “Natural Science,” prepared by Mrs. Pearse, It was decided that at the coming annual meeting members will each be permitted to bring two guests. The meeting concluded with a program of entertainment consisting of a harp solo by Miss Swanson, plazio solo by Miss Free, two vocal numbers by Mrs, Ely and readings by Mrs. J. H. Dumont, Mrs. Comegys and Mrs. Shields MESSENGERS FROM THE NORTH Rev, Dr. Huntington and Lieatenant Governor Bates of Boston Ad- dress Dallas Meeting. DALLAS, May 13.—Monday was the day set aside for fasting and prayer by the members of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, and the conference, after being in session two hours In the morning, adjourned until 8 o'clock at night, when the fraternal delegates of the Methodist Episcopal church, D. W. C. Huntington, D. D., of Lincoln, Neb., and Lieutenant Governor Bates of Boston, presented the address from the northern church. While neither of the messengers of the northern church in direct langus advo- cated a reunion of the two churches, still their sentences and sentiments suggested the hope of an ultimate result. From a statement issued by one of the prominent bishops of the church late to- night it appears that the letter of Senators Bacon and Clay to Bishop Candler did not hold that the war clalm money should be returned, owing to the manner in which it was secured from congress, but that the letter held that the money should not be returned to the government, as the clalm Was & just claim and should have been pald, and the church was mot to be censured. and senseless as would be kindling a to make it boil. True, these cavities and ges of the almost immediately fill up again with m ive tem and after the 15th of this month interest on the eame will stop.
