The Coy Spanish Lady of the Sea.

The Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa has
proved herself TO be as coy and tickle
as the most unreliable OF her sex and
nativity. In the first place she gave
the Yankee sailor men a stern chase
along the Southern coast OF Cuba; and
AT last. overwhelmed by their saluta-
tions and recognizing the persistency
OF their pursuit and their determine
ton to become possessed OF her, she
made a combined rush for the shore
and n plunge for the bottom Of the
sea. 1t required all the ingenuity and
persussiveness OF Hobson to bring her
once more to the surface, and when
she was at last set afioat she betrayed
her erratic disposition by indulging in
all sorts OF frolics IN a storm during

sitting in the mud and sand like a
sulky maiden waiting for Hobson to
come again to her relief. Surely she
has revealed all tie capriciousness Of a
Spanish beauty. Her wounded spirit
undoubtedly rose to rebellion when,
after having come up out OF the sea at
Hobson's bidding, she found herself
ANONYMOUSLY deserted by the young
and handsome hero. He should have
remained with her and conducted her
safely to the home of his fathers, as
bridegroom returning with his bride.

himself as II is to others.

TO reduce the mental strain which the study
OF music is TO children and to give a funda-
mental, systematic and logical musical edu-
cation in a way that shall be natural, thor
ough and pleasurable so that music may

first, developing the child physically. men
tally and spiritually.
Music is the souls mode OF speech. and
every child needs this means OF expression.
But the child must learn this speech in the
natural way IL We would not stamp out the
hrst great love of music from his heart.
There must be no scolding, no hardship at

'If music is treated as a language and
taught effectively any child capable Of read

Capable OF reading ordinary music correctly
and with as much pleasure TO himself as he
would gain from the book"
Miss Whipple then gave illustrations of the
method employed, using blocks for notes,
placing them in position as they were
sounded. cutting notes from paper and past
ing them on sheets of note paper, or pricking

House OF Hope had been none other than

SPRINKLING WHEN 1T RAINS
QUESTION AS TO WHY CONTRACT
ORs SHOULD BID PAID IN FULL
Comes Up in Connection with the
Estimates for October--BiII for
the ArmOry Rent Ia Ordered
Paid.

The committee on ways and means
from the assembly had before it yes
terday afternoon estimates No. 7 for
the sprinkling of the streets from Oct
16 to Nov. inclusive.
The estimates approved by the board
of public works were as follows:
District No. l. Nicholas Feyen, $176.54; Dis

Messrs. Albrecht, Dix and Denny,
who constitute the committee, decided
that as there had been considerable
wet weather In October, when it was
neither practicable nor possible for the
sprinkling contractors to sprinkle the
streets, they refused to approve the
estimates unlVss some reduction was
made and sent the estimates back to
the board of public works with q re-
quest that some explanation be given.
The board Of public works at once
turned the matter over to the city en-
gineer with a request that the sprink-
ling inspectors submit q report as to
the NUMBER or days during october IN
which the sprinkling contractors were
obliged to work
A report from the engineer and
board of public works Is expected at
the meeting of the assembly tomorrow
evening.
The bill of $500 for the rent Of the
armOry for the month Of October was
discussed, but the committee finally
approved the same The corporation
attorney. however, was instructed to
report to the committee a detailed
statement as to the contract or lease
with the armory association, and, if 1t
was decided advisable to terminate the
lease, how 1t could be done.
An inspection Of the lease between
the armory association and the city
in the comptroller's Office shows that
the lease was entered into on behalf
of the city Dec. II. 1897. for the year 1898
by Mayor Doran and City Treasurer
Horst. The armOry association, repre-
scented by Lieut.. Col. W. w. Price,
commanding q battalion OF infantry,
and Maj. e. D. Llbbey, commanding
battalion of artillery, and L. s. Bean,
president of the association, signed the
lease for the association. BY the terms
of the lease the city rents the build
ing for one year, ending Dec. 81, 1898,
for So, 600, payable monthly.

Union Pacific Bridge Monopoly at
Omaha Is Threatened.

OMAHA, Nov. 1s.-An effort on the cart
of the East Omaha Bridge and Terminal com
