The fire commissioners have finally
reached the conclusion that there is
great possibility Of confiagla slons
from electric wires not properly in
Sulated. 1t was the subject Of a long
discussion at the meeting last night,

CARLYLE A FAKE.
The Much Pulled Dramatic Reader
Fails to Plesse

Fails to Please.
Hal Newton Carlyles dramatic en-
tertainment last night failed to draw
large audience, and the handful of
people who did attend failed to en-
thuse over Mr.. Carlyles interpreta-
ton Of the classics. The advance no
tees of Mr.. Carlyle's entertainment
stated that mo lover of true dra-
matte work should miss hearing Mr..
Carlyle" This might have been sar-
casm, and it probably was, as great
er travesty on the art of reading than
Mr.. Carlyle's rendition of king Rob-
ert of Sicily could hardly be mag
ined. The poem was given with a
musical accompaniment by S. Greves,
who deserves some credit for being
able to keep up with the erratic per-
former.
The dinner scene from Dickens
''Dombey and Som, was also given by
Mr.. Carlyle in manner that was
certainly inimitable. The other people
who contributed to the programme
were Percy Churchill whose vocal
solo, 1.-The Fog Bell" was very well
received, as was also vocal number
by Miss May Morganstine.

There was "a sound of revelry by
night" in the vicinity of Capt. Beams
residence on Marshall avenue last
night Yesterday was the forty
eighth anniversary Of the birth of the
captain of Company D, First regiment
N. G. 8. NJ, and the members of the
company celebrated the event. The
members in large numbers marched
to Capt. Beams residence, and after
giving the regulation company yell
with particular emphasis, were invited
inside, where each and every member
of the company was welcomed by the
captain and his wife. During the
evening Lieut.. Merrill, on behalf of
Company d, presented Capt. Bean
with handsome cut glass decanter
and the accompanying goblets. 1t was
with some difficulty that the captain
OF the senior company found words to
reply to the patriotic and eloquent
words of his able lieutenant. and
thank his men for this latest token
OF their esteem. 1t was long after the
hour that TAPS" should have been
sounded when the happy company dis
persed after partaking of some ex-

and the fair Is responsible for a large amount
OF extra business. II Il had been a month
later It would have been Immensely better,
but we did as well or better than we eX-
pected, and feel entirely satisfied.

n. Hardy G. Co.. fancy goods-our business
has been simly immense. | put nearly Sl,OOO
into the state fair, but | got 1t all back
Thursday. to say nothing Of a big business
every other day In the week. In our whole
sale department we simply could not attend
10 all our customers. The fair was the best
thing that has struck Omaha since the boom,
and It has given the people renewed life and
vigor. All who visited us were well pleased,
and they will come again next year. We had
an opportunity to talk with intelligent peo-
pie and their wives and daughters, and they
were unanimous in ~praising Omaha and the
fair.
A dozen other retail merchants we're
equally pleased with their weeks experience.
The hotel men say that it was the biggest
week they ever had. They could have filled
their houses twice over II such a thing had
been possible. The landlords are unanimous
in declaring that they charged only the reg
ular rates, but there are a lot of merchants
who assert that their customers were held up
for extra rates, and they are correspondingly
indignant. One prominent jobber advanced
the opinion that next year an ordinance
should be passed providing a fine for extra
charges at hotels just the same as with the
hackmen
Next to the hotels the restaurants, saloons
and cigar stores are big winners on the
weeks business. Several of the biggest res
taurants had more people than they could feed
in spite of the extraordinary preparations
which had been made. Two or three of the
down town cigar stores estimate their weeks
trade al three times what 1t would have
been without the fair, and the saloons sim
ply coined money.
The drug stores also came in for a share
on account Of their soda fountains. N. A
Kuhn says that on Thursday evening alone
his soda fountain took in 500 in addition to
the usual business. There was also a big
trade on all lines in his business, and his
establishment had all it could accommodate,
Other druggists relate similar experiences.

WIPING OUT INDEPENDENT BUREAUS
Policy of concentration Rapidly be-
coming pOpMInr at MnshingIOn.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE transfer OF
the fish commission, now an Independent or
ganization, to the Agricultural department by
congress at the coming session, is considered
probable. There has been for some time a
sentiment against independent bureaus and
commissions. For many years there was an
unsuccessful attempt to place the geological
survey under the Interior department. About
three weeks ago the weather bureau was
made a portion of the Agricultural depart
ment, and now there IS 10 be made an at
tempt to place the fish commission within
the limits of the same department. 1t is be-
lieved that such a move would Increase the
practical efficiency OF the work and result
In its more economical administration
Opposition 20 such a transfer Will, II is
thought, come from the commission itself,
because such transfer would take away from
1t both independence and It's license in tho
matter of expenditures. The prevailing be-
lief here is that William l.. May Of Ne
braska will be appointed to succeed the late
fish commissioner, Marshall Mcdonald. Mr..
May is a man Of means. who has for sixteen
years been fish commissioner Of Nebraska
without compensation. Secretary Morton hsa
endorsed him very warmly. and 1t Is said
the press Of Nebraska, irrespective Of party,
is unanimous in its approval Of his candl-
dacy. The only formidable candidate against
Mr.. May is said to be John +. Crisp, state
fish commissioner Of Missouri.
