Why not make the new system nniform over the entire line so there will be less con- fusion to people unacquainted with Lhe boundary lines of the city? We see no real benefit in the change, but this seems to be one of the most foolish moves the strest car company could have made in not stopping all of its cars on the near side over its entire system. - A READER. So the musie and the mirth went on; they made Joy for themselves—those elegant guests;—they josted and sipped rich wines;—they pledged, and hoped, and loved and promised, with never a thought of the mor- row, on the night of August 10, 1856, Observant parents were there, planning for the future bilas of their near- ent and dearest; mothers end fathers of handsome lads, lithe and olegant as young pines, and fresh from the polish of forelgn university training; motbers and fathers of splendid girls whose stmplest attitudes were witcheries. Younw cheeks flushed, young hearts flut. tered with an emotion more puissant than the exoite- ment of the dance; young eyes betrayed the hapoy #ocret discreeter lips would have preserved. Hlave #ervants eircled through the aristocratio press, bearing dainties and wines, praying permission to pass In terms &t once humble and officious—always in the excellent French which well-trained house servants were taught 1o wse on sueh occasions, Night wore on; still the shining floor palpitated to the feet of the dancers; still the planoforte Dealed, and still the violine sang, and the sound of thelr sing- ing shrilled through the darkness, in gasps of the gale, 1o the ears of Captain Smith, as he strove to keop his footing on the spray drenclied deck of the Star, “Christ!” he muttered: “a dance!

OMAHA, Aug. 20.—~To the Bditor ot The Bee: As the criticisms of Mr. Sunday continues to be read, many may grow anxiouws iest the cause they hope to help may be not helped but hurt. In view of this I'am asking you to give some prominence in The Bee to a few words which were spoken in a privats conversation by Charlle Butler. Omaha will remember him as the well- loved singer in the great Torrey meetings beld at the Auditorium some years age “You are finding fault with the man now, but if ever Billy SBunday comes to Omaha and gets next to the heart of some one that you have tried all these years to help and have failed—as he is sure to do-—-and you see that lite changed for all that is best and happlest.

BOUTH SIDE, Aug. 20.~To the Bdi- itor of The Bee: In a report of the pro- ceedings of the Board of Education ap- peared the following: ‘‘Board Member 5. Holovtchiner called attention to the deplorably rotton condition of the South Side school buildings. He asserted that vandalism was rampart, that desks and bulldings were defaced and that the walls had apparently not beén touched by a brush in years." P I wes a meémber of the of Edus cation for four years previous to the merger, and 6ach year we set aside all that could be spared for the repair of sohool - bulldings. During that time we Installed new toilets in several schools, and aid some Interior work each year, replacing paper ‘paint wherever poss sible. Last year painted the interior of the high and Jungmann schools al- most throughout with a high grade of flat wall paint. A number of rooms in other schools were also painted last year. According to our school law we were compelled to keep within the levy each year, which we did, and turned over the school district to Omaha free from debt, except bonded indebtedness, and also around $10,000 in cash at the close of our school year. ; Our wsehool buildings will compare favorably and better with other towns and cities.
