A MODERN SPARTAN MOTHER
She Came to America to Meet Her Son,
But Bade Him Go to tho War

She Game TO America 10 Meet Aer son,
But Bade Him Go to the War
All of the Spartan mothers are not In
Greece. One Of them is now on the ocean,
la fellow passenger with the 450 who
sailed for that war stricken nation on the
French line steamship La Gaecogne Sat-
urday. Her name? Athina Billidha-a
widow.
A few months ago. then living in Pira-
Gus, this woman was happy in the hope
of soon seeing again the boy who had
left her five years before to seek his fort
une in America. He had prospered in his
new home, Lowell. Mass, and wrote
letters which cheered her heart and
made her count the fifty-two years Of
her life well spent.
Not only was her son Anthon in this
American city, but with him were her
three nephews-now grown to young
manhood-Thordori, Gregor and Cleo
moni. These three were working in
their cousin Anthon's candy factory in
Lowell, and all of them were faring well.
One day a letter reached the lone widow
in Piraeus. which brought her great hap
piness. It contained money, and more
"a message. telling her to come to
America!
She came on the first steamer, cherish
Ing all the way the JOY that would be
hers in being near her son again. The
son met her al the pier with dread news.
While she was on The water war had
broken out at home-war with the hated
Turk. Already their fatherland was
invaded. Thessaly was overrun by the
Moslem. Even then Anthon was ready
to sail for Greece and take his place In
the ranks at the front.
In not the same words, but with the
same fire in her cheeks and the same
ring in her voice as that Spartan mother,
who bade her boy take his shield and,
battling for his country, return to her
with 1t or borne upon 1t. this mother told
her son to 60 to the aid of his struggling
fatherland. Their long separation wao
not thought Of Safety comfort, busi-
ness-au was lost to mind in the single
word-duty.
Anthon left. His mother remained
here to look after their affairs and her
three young nephewE. Day by day they
watched the papers and followed with
eager eyes the fortunes Of the arms of
Greece-at fret 90 glorious, but later so
discouraging. These. staunch fellows, as
they read OF one reverse after another,
yearned to bare their breasts in defense
Of the cause Of the cross.
At last they could stand eupineness no
longer. The nephews decided to go them
eslves where Anthon had gone, and the
mother determined to go with them.
They were passengers on La Gascogne,
and made one Of the most interesting
groups on board the big liner as she
|eteamed out Of her pler.-New York

WESTLAKE PARK ROBBERY
Highwaymen Relieve Charles Keith
of His Valuables

The police detectives are looking for
the two men who held up Charles w.
Keith on the north side of Westlake park
Friday evening. The men were masked
and the robbery was made at the point
of revolver in very quiet and skilled
manner. Keith gave up what little jew
elry and money he had on his person
without any words When the robbers
were through with him he notified Park
Watchman A. L. Wilson, who was in
another part Of the park. The latter
made thorough search Of the premises
but without any success.
Keith states that he was walking
through the park with lady friend,
when the two men came up from behind
and passed, one on either side. In an
instant they whirled around and faced
him and his companion. While ore man
covered him with pistol the other went
through his pockets, taking everything
of value that they could find Some
small change was taken, but they over
looked a purse in a back pocket, which
contained $40. Keith also states that the
robbers even took his two rings from
his fingers Good descriptions have been
given the detectives and it is believed
clue has been found that may lead to
the arrest of the guilty parties.

cRowDING THE NEW UNION DEPOT.


Contractors HIVE Put on Large
Force of Workmcn.
Work upon the new union depot is being
pushed along at rapid rate by the Burling-
ton. No buster scene is to be witnessed in
the city than upon the grounds at Tenth
and Pacific streets. Contractor Sam Sawtel
put eight teams at work Friday afternoon
upon the excavations necessary for the new
structure, and expects to largely increase
his force Monday. The teams and wori1men
are digging along the stone retention wall
at the south end of the yiaduct and have al
ready made a good showing upon the large
amount of earth to be removed. cut of
from twenty to twenty-five feet Will be nee
cssary along this wall reaching to the paved
alley way running between Pacific and Ma
son streets, in order TO bring the surface to
the level of the switch yards. This prelim-
mary grading will be finished by May l, and
then the excavations for the footings of the
building will be started.
A gang of carpenters, painters and plumb
ers are at work upon the old depot in or
der to place it in condition for temporary
use until the new structure is ready for
occupancy. The mems waiting room is re-
ceiving the finishing touches at the hands
of the painters, and the benches VIII be
moved in not later than Tuesday next The
annex which has just been constructed will
be completed about Wednesday and the gen.
eral ticket offices, the office of the Pullman
company and the dining room and lunch
counter will be thrown open the middle OF
the week.
But little remains of the foundation of the
old building constructed by the Union Pa
ciic except four piers which support the via
duct. They will soon be removed, together
with the portion of the viaduct which was
designed as the approach to the old depot
and iron piers substituted. AS soon as the
masonry of the old structure is removed the
big hole left vacant will be leveled and
tracks for switching purposes will be laid.
The grading of the switching yards east
of Ninth street is being pushed rapidly for
ward, nearly all the earth having been re-
moved with the exception of a small knoll
along the alley directly north Of the King
man e Co building. This will be completed
in few days and then the tracks will be
laid for the purpose of bringing stone brick
and other building material for the new
SLructure.

ball for Visiting Nurses.

The ball to be given next Thursday night
at the Mlllard under the auspices of a num-
ber OF society women for the benefit of the
Association of Visiting Nurses, promises to
be one of the most brilliant events of the
season, ii it shall be carried out on the
lines originally laid down for it.
This most deserving charity thanks ia
several generous contributions and the fortu-
nate result of recent benefit entertainments
finds itself in excellent financial circum-
stances so far as its actual present needs are
concerned. Its promoters, however, realize
that the work of the association will grow
more arduous and eXacting as the season
advances toward the days of summer heat
and that the necessity of benevolent atten-
tion. especially to the children of the soor
will still call for pecuniary aid from those
who are able to afford 1t. To this end, and
particularly TO render more effective the
work OF the nurses among the children dur
ing the heated term, the entertainment OF
Thursday night has been projected. II will
begin with minuet to be danced by Misses
Helen Millard Hoagland, Peck Florence
Morse, Palmer, Taylor, Buck and Crounse
and Messrs.~ Lewis Palmer. Morseman,
Cooley. Floyd Smith, VIII Rogers Herbert
Rogers and Pratt; after which an opportunity
will be given to the guests for general dane
ing and refreshments will be served. The
apartments at the MillaTd have been devoted

tors, and Colonel WykOn, the new COM
mandant at Fort Crook. has given the ser
vices of the fine Twenty-second Regiment
band.
Much interest has been felt In the elaborate
preparations for this event and although the
sale OF tickets up to this time has not been
as large as was to be desired, 1t is not
doubted that the charitable people of Omaha
will in due time lend substantial aid to the

PREPARING TO MAKE A TEST CASE.
ConstitutionnIity of Municipal Court
LAW VIII lie Questioned.

COustitutionnlity of MuniCipnI Court
Inv VIII lie Questioned.
The constitutionality OF the new municipal
court law will probably be tested In the
supreme court. an action looking toward that
point being now in process of preparation.
Attorney J. J. Boucher attempted yestcr-
day to file a couple OF cases in the county
court in the ordinary course OF business.
One was a regular county court case. under
the old law. and the other was case coming
under the jurisdiction of the county court
under the old law, sitting as a justice Of the
peace Judge Baxter refused TO allow the
cases TO be fled stating that under the mu-
ncipal court law, which was passed with
tho emergency clause be had no jurisdiction
in the cases.
This was in the nature oi a surprise to
Attorney Boucher who was not In n position
with his cases to consent to any delay the
municipal court not being In existence, and
Baxter refused to allow this to be done and
endorsed on the papers his reasons for this
action.
Attorney Boucher says he will take tho
matter before the supreme court at It's ses-
sion next Monday and will ask for writ Of
manlamus on the county court to compel
the filing of the cases. lie will set up the
point that the municipal court law is un-
constitutional and II tho supreme court con-
Sents to take original jurisdiction In the
case the consttutionality Of the new law
will be tested at once.
