RUNS LUNCH ROOM AT HIGH SCHOOL Makes Success of Servi: on Meals he Pupiis and Now Plans to Give an Entertainment to Raise Funds, (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 17.—(S8pecial.)—Proof positive of the good work of the hot lunches served at the High school by, mem- bers of the Woman's club is being given by the students. This week 1439 pupils did their little noon grind at that lunch coun- ter. “The House that Jack Bullt” is an idea of the Woman's club to raise money to pay back into the club's treasury the $250 taken from it to start the lunch room. The puplls will, beginning Tuesday night, bufld that house on three different nights and two stages. They are doing their own advertising. Lunch Room Equipment. The lunch room is all that could be ex- pected of it and more. During the last week 1,430 meals were served at an average cost of 7 cents a meal, and its duplieate for variety and wholesomeness could not have been found in the city at twice the cost. The lunch is served In a large room in which there are five tables, three of which seat twenty-four persons and two have seats for twenty. Around this room are places for 150 more, the women easily serv- ing 250 in the room at once. The overflow is taken care of In the sclence room. An- other room is set apart for those pupils who bring their lunches, and to them is served milk, cocoa and soup if they desire it The tables are covered with white oflcloths, and the silverware and china s as good and nice as will be found fn any home. The dining room was fixed up by the board of education and is white, with light blue cefling and wainscoting and white shelving. In the kitchen is a steam table, In front of which is a table twenty feet long upon which are the dishes. The puplls get what dishes they will re- quire, pass to the steam table, get what they want, recelve a check for it and pass out to where two cashiers are waiting. Here they pay for what they have, and then into the dining room. As to the efficlency of the system employed it is only neces- sary to say that in fifteen minutes I Monday 330 pupils were served.

The board sald also that any man with even more than ordinary appetite could be satisfled by eating what the women charge 1l cents for. But hers s the bill served Wednesday, which is an Indication of what is served every day: Veal croquettes, browned in the oven and not fried in lard or fat; macaron! and cheese; meat ple in which was mashed potatoes; chocolate and blanc mange, cocoa, milk, bread, vege- table soup. This is the cost: Meat ple, & cents; vegetable soup, 3 cents for a cup and 5 for bowl; dessert, 3 cents; milk, 3 cents; ecqgoa, § cents; two soda biscults are given with each bowl of soup. No coffes or tea is served. With these prices the lunch room 1s self-sustaining, and it is the intention of the women as soon as possible to reduce the price ot milk from 3 to 2 cents and cocoa from § to 3 cents. How it is Managed, The kitchen is'in charge of a woman caterer who has long had a reputation a such in Lincoln. She works from 7 a. m. to 6 p. m. The entire lunch room is under the direction of a committee of the worien's club, of which Mrs. Henry Schlesinger is the chairman. Any pupll of the school or any teacher, or any one connected with the school, 1s at liberty to eat lunch there, but of course the women do not cater to any one else. When the women club members concelved the idea ef the lunch room they advanced $250 to buy the cooking utensils, dishes and things needed, and it is to refund this money to the club that the play is to be given by the puplls next week. At this time the running expenses are easily pald out of the income from the lunches and should there be a balance In the treasury at the end of the year it will be used to purchase pictures for the High school walls and with which to decorate the dining room. Mrs. Schlesinger and her colleagues conduct the work of course without pay. Mrs. Schiesinger said: *The lunch room is proving entirely satisfactory and in- stead of the nolse and confusion that we were told would be made by the boys and girls while eating, there is nothing of the kind, There is no dining room In any well regulated hotel that is conducted with as little confusion than is the one at the High school. The boys and girls are just perfect little gentlemen and ladies, and it is a pleasure to be with them. We try to give them the same treatment they would got in their homes and they are re- paying us well by their courtesy one to- ward the other and to us.

Some weeks ago the women made this proposition to the council and that body sald all right in a kind of general sort of way. Then last Monday night Councilman Pentser, who is noted mere for his nerve than his judgment, ups and says to his brothers, “‘Sdeath to the females; we want that park.” DIid he get 1t? Well, & pin would have made a nolse if it had fallen about that time. Those follow members of Pentzer dropped that resolution on the table so easy that even Pentzer got scared. They do say he went heme through the alley, but that's meither here nor there. The women will run that park. YACHT FOR GATES LAUNCHED t Quarter of Million Dellars and is Intended for the Lakes, RACINE, Wis., Oct. 17.—At 2 o'clock this afternoon the $20,000 Rhoada, buflt for John W.

The boat is bullt of steel, 100 feet long, 15 feet wide and draws but 38 inches of water, has a flat bottom and is expected to ride ordinary seas in safety, but it is adapted especially for inland waters. A 400-horse power triple expansion en- gine furnishes the power and there are ac- commodations for twenty people. The boat will start for Port Arthur by way of the Illinols and Michigan canal at once. CAR CRASHES INTO A POLE Comductor is Killed and the Moto: man and a Number of Pas. sengers Injured. READING, Pa., Oct. 17.—Thomas J. Du- gan, a conductor on the Reading & South- western branch of the United Traction com- pany, was killed today by his car crashing into a telegraph pole. The car left the tracks becauss of the slippery condition of the rails. Joseph Ob- erholtzer, the motorman, had a leg broken and half a dozen women passengers were more or less bruised. THE MARCONI SYSTEM., The Improvements Are Will Seon Become eral Use. Marcon! salled for England recently and 18 to return within a month. During his short stay abroad two American and the English stations will be opened for commer- clal business. Statlons in other parts of the world will soon follow. Wireless wonders have succeeded one an- other 80 rapidly of late that the full sig- nificance of each new invention is scarcely appreciated at its full value, yet from the time in 18% when Marconi conducted ex- periments i Salisbury Plain before the authorities of the British postoffice there has been a steady march of improvement, until now there are eight stations in Amer- ica receiving and sending messages to all parts of the globe. Today the British and Itallan navies are equipped with the Marconi system, and the Marcon! company is building three stations for the government of the United States. Nearly forty transatiantic steamers use the Marcon! system, enabling travelers to communicate with the land at will, and it is only a question of time with the wire- less. The system is also being rapidly de- veloped on the Great lakes. Wireless communication has been con- tinuously maintained with both shores of the Atlantio by the Lucania, and wireless messages have been successtully sent both ways across the Atlantic between Cape Breton and Poldhu. The Marconi company reported the Rellance-Shamrock races for the Assoclated Press and it has contracted with the Postal Telegraph company to re- celve messagoes at SBagaponack, L. 1., for out- going and incoming liners equipped with the apparatus. Lloyds have adopted the system exolusively and stations have been established in Alaska, Labrador, Cape Col- ony, Mosambique, New Zealand and hun- dreds of other far-away places. Two steamers in collision in the English channel on a stormy night communicated with 1and by Marconi wireless and received ald. There have been a number of similar instances where the wireless prevented tho loss of life and property. Marconi and Peary have planned the maintenance of wireless communication between the ships mch that it m Gen- MAE WOOD---HER OWN STORY Personal Accovnt of & Woman Who Has Been Unpleasantly Advertised BRIGHT, ENERGETIC AND VIVACIOUS Her Caree Omala and How She Came to Adopt the Law as a Profeasion as Told by Hernell. The wide advertisement which Omaha has bad during the past week through the notorfety inflicted upon Miss Mae C. Wood, who formerly resided in this city, in con- nection with the marriage of Senator Thomas C. Platt of New York, has natur- ally aroused interest In the personality of the young woman, who is readily remem- bered by friends and acquaintances here. ‘What distinguished her most during her few years' residence in Omaha was the fact that she was pointed out as the only woman entitled to practice at the bar in this county. She studied in the law office of Greene & Baxter, and later had an office of her own. She was an expert stenographer, and recognized as one of the best among the women stenographers of the city, and did a great deal of deposition work, in which she was highly successtul Bhe was for one month employed on The Bee In a clerical capacity in the fall of 1897, during which time she assisted some in the work of soclety reporting, the so- clety editor being F. M. Richardson, and from the fact that she gathered the ma- terial for the descriptions of the gowns worn at the Ak-Sar-Ben ball that year she was commonly supposed to have become the soclety editor. ‘When She Left Omaha, Miss Wood left Omaha in 1598 to settle up the estate of a relative who had made her one of the heirs and later celebrated her | £00d fortune by a trip to Europe, entering the Postoffice department at Washington as a clerk on her return, in a position for which she was indebted to Senator Thurs- ton. She has frequently revisited Omaha, her last appearance here being about a year ago, when she spent several weeks renew- Ing old acquaintanceships. Those who re- call her remember her as a vivacious and energotic woman, peculiar chiefly for the fact that she considered herself as a pro- tesslonal woman free to disregard many of the conventionalities and to defy the opin- fons and criticisms of other people. In the spring of 139 The Bee printed s symposium of responses to an inquiry ad- dressed to the various women law practi- tioners of Nebraska as to thelr reasons for entering the legal profession and the inci- dents of thelr first cases In court., Miss Wood's pithy contribution to the sym- postum, which was published over her sig- nature, containing as it does some personal information, will, therefore, doubtless be read with interest at this time. It reads as follows: Why She Took Up Law. “Many reasons might be given why I decided to enter the legal profession, but the most potent ones are: An unwise am- | bition to step out of the well worn rut in which women have been so patiently plod- ding for so many years; I once had a dream that women themselves would prefer to consult with a woman, and I thought that I saw an unlimited field of action in their behalf for an energetic, ambitious woman, A natural love for the work and possibly, too, being a woman, with a woman's love for argument, I saw a great fleld of labor wherein I could have the last word. “When I was a mere infant, guardian and friends declared that I should become a teacher, hence my training in school was to that end, but fate and I decided other- wise. Bo, shortly after finishing a course in an eastern normal school, not having means to finish a university course, I en- tered a business college and took book- keeping and stenography. On leaving the business college I applied for and obtained a position in & law firm’s office in the west and there began the study of law, con- tinuing for about three years, occasionally attending lectures at the Omaha law school. “My first case? One morning T was sum- moned to the court house by the bailiff by the word that the judge of the criminal’ section had appointed me to defend some prisoners. With what alaerity I rushed over to the court house. On my arrival I found waiting in the office of the judge three desperate criminals, aged respectively 8, 11 and 12 years, charged with the crime of grand larceny, “Amid frequent tears they related to me of the mext Polar expedition and the sledges on their dash for the pole, as well as between the ships on their points of de- parture. The insignificant initial cost of the wire- less system as compared with the cable is a strong financial argument in favor of the former. A special committes of the Fifty-sixth congress estimated the cost of laying a cable between San Francisco and Manila at $2,00,000. This proposed cable could be paralleled by the Marcon! sy tem for §850,000, leaving a balance in initial cost in favor of the wireless of more than $24,000,000. : It is estimated that the cable would pay 12 per cent on the investment, while the Marconl, assuming that its capacity and charges are one-half of the cable, would pay more than 100 per cent on the invest- ment. It is estimated that one transatlantic station, working half time, half speed and at less than half the present cable charges, will earn a net profit of $5%,90. Therc are fourteen transatlantic cables in the United States. Should the Marcon! system estab- lish fourteen stations the profit would be over $10,000,000, or 150 per cent on its pres- ent capital. When the Bpll Telephone stock was first put upon the market, twenty-five years ago, it went begging at §1 a share, but'the $i invested increased to more than 31,00, and are more than $2,(00,00. The scope of the wireless system is Wider than that of the Bell telephone. It can be established in any place where the telephone can find a foothold and in localities where wires can neither be strung nor cables laid. It is not unreasonable to assume, there- fore, that great fortunes can be mads by moderate luvestments in the Midrconi se- curities and that small investors will be- come independently wealthy within a few yeare. It is likely thai certificates repre- senting $5 wil increase in value 200 or even 3 fold. The prudent man, with an eye to his wn fortune and that of his children, will take advantage of this opportunity. The directors of the Marconi Wireless Telegeaph company of America, among whot i. Rolins Morse of Boston, Spencer Trask of New York and former | United States Attorney General John W. Griggs, are men of national reputation ani | thelr names give assurance of a wise and progressive munagemeat of the company’s affairs. Marconi, Thomas A.

Ward & Co., bunkers, Land and the profits of an original investor of $1,0%0 | the story of the misdemeanor. They as- sured me that It was ‘the other boy,’ who was indicted for the samo crime—an older lad—and they ‘went along ‘cause he wanted ‘em to.' All they did was to carry home some wheel The oldest boy related his story first, and by the time the sturdy, fat little fellow of 8 looked up with his big eyes full of tears and told me, ‘All I done was to carry home some wheels, too,’ and ‘put them in the wood shed, and the police- men came and found them and took them and me too to the police station,’ I was fully convinced that they were mighty mean men to arrest such small boys for so trifiing an offense. “This was in the forenoon of Saturday, and as I was convinced that it would be impossible to have the lads on the witness stand I went on to prepare the case accord- ingly. For the two succeeding days 1 neither ate nor slept. I honestly belleve that I read every decision on grand lar- ceny that was ever decided in the ocourts of Nebraska and studied every phase of the crime from ‘intent' to ‘malice afore thought.' Then T prepared a most touch- Ing address to the jury in my private of- fice, with only the pictured faces of the pocts and Napoleon for an audience. On Thursday the county attorney concluded to nolle the case, and I do not believe the jurymen for that term of court are con- scious what & narrow escape they had from being buried 'neath the avalanche of my eloquence. This is the story of my first case in the district court at Omaha. “P. 8.~1 am still waiting for my second.” ——— ACCUSED OF UGLY CRIME New York Man is Arrested on Charge of Pa & Worthles Checks, NEW YORK, pas worthless Express company, | real estate broker, this eity.

SEVERAL PRICE CHANGES TOOK EFFECT Jobbers Making Extensive Prepara- tions for an Active Campaign for Advance Orders for Spring and Many Are Already Placed. Atter the rush and excitement of Ak-Sar- Ben week trade both in the retail and wholesale districts of Omaha seemed rather auiet last week. As a matter of fact, how- ever, retallers report business as’ being fully up to the usual standard at this time of yeur, while wholesalers say they sold a £00d deéal more stock last week than the week before. That is owing to the fact that traveling salesmen have again returned to their respective territories and are meeting with excellent success in landing both at once business and advance orders for spring lines. Taking the first half of October as a whole, every one, from the manufacturer to the retaller, reports business better this year than last, which Is saying a good deal. This being the case there are, of course, very few complaints of any character, and a general feeling of confidence is noted in future business. Wholesalers are making great prepara- tlons for spring and expect to carry larger and better lines than ever before. The samples which they now have on the road are meeting with favor In the eyes of re- tailers and the prospects for future busi- ness are considered brighter than ever be- ore. There have been about the usual number rice fluctuations during the weck under review, but at the same time none of them have been what would be called radical, though many of them were not exactly an- ticipated. The market as a whole is in a £00d, healthy condition, with every pros- pect ‘of its remaining that way for some time to come. Collections ‘are also reported as being up to the usual standard at this time of year. and in fact there are comparatively few bad accounts on jobbers’ book Rolled Oats Unusually Low. Wholesale grocers report quite a drop in the price of rolled oats since last report. It is claimed that the decline is not war- ranted by existing conditions, but has been brought about through competition. The Oatmeal trust as a result has reduced the price 40 cents per barrel and 10 cents per case on five-pound packages. It is claimed that this places the selling price below the cost of manufacture, and as a result job- bers are advising thelr customers to stock up while these prices last. e market on syrups is also a_ little easier than it was & week ago, a slight de- cline having gone into effect. There is nothing new to report regarding sugar, as the market is In practically the same 'position It was at last report. Coffee is in a very strong position and those in a position to know say that all in- dications now point to higher prices on the good low grade coffees, The crop from razil is lacking very much in quality, so that the better grades will be scarce, and as the demand {s sure to be heavy traders are preparing for higher prices. The market on mackerel has advanced materially during the last few days. Deal ers are now paying an advance of 318062 per barrel out of the ship over recent quo- tations. Small counts are practically cleaned up, very few having been caught on the Massachusetts coast this year. Still higher prices are being looked for in the near tuture. The market on codfish is also very strong and several advances of late have gone into effect, owing to the extremely small fares being landed. This has been caused largely by unfavorable weather on the coast and also by a shortage of bait. Holland herring is also in a very strong position, present rices showing an advance over those of en days ago of about 3 cents per keg. The demand is reported unusually large. The demand for bottled olives, jobbers say, has increased at a wonderful rate dur- ing’ the last several months. In speakin of this feature of the grocery trade a loca. jobber said that his house alone has used four carloads of olives this season, which is more than the combined sales of all the jobbers a short time ago. It is very evident that the demand for this class of goods is assuming gigantic proportions in the west and it looks as though olives would soon be classed as a staple instead of a luxury. Only the smallest of country stores now fail to have a line of olives on their shelves. The canned goods market {s -still strong and active. Another advane corn Eus recently gone into effect owing to the short pack and heavy demand. Very few packers are able to deliver anywhere near the amount sold. Dry Goods Firm and Active. Local dry goods jobbers experienced a very nice trade last week on all staple and seasonable lines. Travell men were once more on the road and found that re- tallers have been enjoying a nice trade and that thelr stocks have been going (o bleces quite rapidly. As a result they were will- ing to piace lberal sorting up orders and besides that the favorable outlook for a good demand throughout the fall and win ter has made merchants willing to place advance orders for spring in good season Salesmen in fact are very confident that they will break all previous records in advance business unless something should happen to materially change the general situation. There are no market changes to note since last review. Manufacturers stead- fastly refuse to make any concessions for staple lines and jobhers are of the opinion that the market will continue firm for many months to come There is good reason for expecting the price of cotton to stay up and unless there should be quite a slump a decline on manufactured lines would be unwarranted. In view of the excellent demand there is In sight joblhers do not see how merchants ean be otherwise than safe in placing their ordefs at present prices. Nalls Active and Firm.

The demand for leather foods was, if any- thing, better last week than the weelk be- fore, as traveling men were able to sell more goods on the road than they did the week before in the house. Orders were, of course, not very large, but they were numerous enough to make the total volume of business very satisfactory. A good many advance orders for spring were also secured, and that part of the husiness is moving along in a very satisfac- tory manner and promises to break last year's good record. The demand for rubber e.lulhln{ is also ul|lnmall¥ large for this time of the year, and In fact manufacturers of some lines find it impossible to keep up with the enor- mous demand being experienced all over tha country, Fruits and Produce. Froits were in brisk demand last week and it was noticeable that apples sold more frecly last week than at any time so far this “season. Buch lines as peaches and plums are, of course, getting scarce, and as a result people turn their attention more and more to apples. As will be seen from the quotations below there is now a_large variety of apples on the murket. Grapes are also in good request, as are also cran- berries. Winter varieties of pears sell very readily at $2.%, and will be on the market for some time. Vegetables have sold at about the same frices all the woek, no important changes aving taken place. The cgg market has been firm il the week, and in fact prices are a frifie higher. Poulfry, on the other hard, has been in bi supply and prices are considerably lowe That is particularly true of heavy spring chickens, which sell no higher than hens. Butter is about the same as it was & week ago, and €0 also are oysters and fish. TABLE AND KITCHEN BREAKFAST. Fruit, Cereal, Cream.
