The druggists of the city will picnic at
Riverside park on Thursday, July 20. Ar
rangements are now being made for grand
time, and it is expected that all of the drug
gists, with their families, will be able to
attend. Out of the goodness of their hearts
the druggists have granted permission to
their clerks to attend the festivities after
the stores are closed at night. This means
that the clerks will get around in time to
catch the homeward- bound carryalls. At the
meeting of druggists it was decided that
nothing was too rich for them and extra dry
champagne will be the order of the day. The
springs at the park will be sealed during
the visit Of the druggists in order to prevent
anyone from drinking anything but sparkling
champagne. Two bottles to each person is
the allotted allowance. Chris Melcher has
been detailed to attend the punch bowl,
while Dave Clark and Charley Scarr will
draw the corks of the champagne bottles.

PACKING PLANT Is CLOSED
Trouble with Labor Causes n Kansas
City Concern to suspend
Work.

KANSAS CITY, July S,-schwarzchid &
Sulzberger's local packing plant was closed
today by the local management rather than
grant second advance in wages to its 200
butchers and their helpers. One thousand
men are out of employment. 1t has been
union house, and only Monday last the men
were given an increase In wages, which,
according to the company officials, brings
them UP to the union scale. The men, how
ever, 1t appears, were dissatisfied with the
raise, and rather than grant a second in
crease the house has closed. An official Of
the company said today that the men
would be given a few days. time in which
to consider their proposition, and then un-
less they chose to return to work new hands
would be employed. In the meantime live
stock will be shipped to New York for
slaughter. The scale paid the butchers is
said to be that paid by other local houses.
member of the Butchers union, who was
one of those dismissed from Schwarzschld &
Sulzberger's, said this afternoon that the
union would probably make similar demands
at the other Kansas City packing houses for
a raise In the scale of wages. The butchers
demands on Schwarzschild G. Sulzberger
were for what is called the scale Of 1898
This schedule is in use at local packing
plants but it seems now that they want
something more than the 1898 schedule, as
is claimed by the Schwarzschild & Sulz-
berger company. There seems to be a lack
of unity in the ranks of the butchers. Ac-
cording to packers the butchers will not
stand by the agreements OF their committees.

AMERICANS ON ENGLISH SOIL
Yale-Harvard Athletic Team Has Its First
Practice at Southampton.
BOYS SHOW UP IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
English Athletic shnrps Admit the
Yankees Are Promising Lot and
VIII Give Good Account
of Themselves.

Copyright. 1899 by Press Publishing Coz
BRIGHTON, Eng, July 18-(New York
World Cablegram-Special Telegram)-A
most cordial welcome has been extended
TO the Yale-Harvard athletic team since its
arrival in England. The newspapers, ath-
letio authorities, college men and English
sportsmen generally are doing their utmost
to make the visit OF the Americans here
pleasant one
The Yale-Harvard team arrived here from
Southampton today and did its frst prac-
tice on English soil at Preston park. They
are all in excellent condition, but Trainer
Lathrop of Harvard and Trainer Copeland
of Yale thought it advisable to confine the
work Of their charges to short runs on the
soft turf. This precaution was taken in
order to run no risk of cracking" muscles
or tendons that might have been relaxed
during the voyage. After the days training
the team attended Barnum G. Bailey's circus.
The Americans were greeted with their own
national air and a series of college melodies.
While English athletic sharps are confident
of the success of Oxford and Cambridge
against the visitors, they admit the Yale
Harvard men are promising lot and will
give good account OF themselves.
1t Is not likely that at this late date any
adverse action will be taken against Burke
and Qunlan Of Harvard. The question of
their eligibility to compete is settled so far
as the four universities are concerned and it
is now in the hands of Secretary Charles
Herbert Of A. A. A. for final decision. Mr..
Herbert has not been overfond of American
athletes since the signal defeat of the Lon
don Athletic club team by the New York
Athletic club in 1895. Mr.. Herbert was in
partial charge of the English team at the
time. He met Burke while in America and
needs no official advice as to his status
To bar Burke and Quinlan at this late
date would unpleasantly mar the success
of the dual meet and in view of the fact
that the secretary Of the American Ath-
letic union of America has vouched for all
the American athletes there is not likely to
be any trouble. All English sportsmen here
hope this will be the outcome

, SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

Some time ago Building Inspector Duns-
combe called the attention OF the Board of
Education to the need OF suitable fire escapes
on the different school buildings. At the
time this communication was read no action
was taken, but 1t is understood that the
board proposes to carry out the recommen-
dations of the inspector when the regular
repairs are made this summer. Inspector
Dunscombe asserts that one long platform
fire escape is needed at the High school,
while FIVE stair escapes are needed at the
Brown Park school, and four at the Third
ward school. 1t is understood that no lad
ders will be used, but iron steps with land
ings at the different floors, so that children
of all ages can be accommodated in case Of
a conhagration. The building inspector esti-
mates the cost Of these fire escapes at $4,000.
While great many people are of the opin-
ion that the present High school building is
unsafe, it appears from the figures given
that only one FIRE escape has been ordered for
the building. This fire escape is TO be
erected at the east end OF the building and
will be so constructed with platforms and
landings that ali OF the rooms having but
one exit can be empted without difficulty.
Inspector Dunscombe has looked over the
ground thoroughly and he asserts that with
eti' N'iiu Va mo esN"Pe ho Ae1oihtiehus INC
High school building can be made practically
safe as far as exits are concerned. AS for
the school buildings not mentioned 1t is not
deemed necessary to place escapes on them
at this time as the exits are free and open
and there need never be a congestion of pu
pills no matter what the excitement. On
the Brown Park and West Side buildings,
however, the number of escapes ordered will
have to be erected II the law and the wishes
of the inspector are complied with

Church to he ReOUen

After being closed for upwards of two
years the First Universalist church will be
reopened next Sunday. The difficulty has
resulted from the impossibllity of securing
a minister who was willing to remain per-
manently with the parish Rev. ]. NJ, At
wood, president of st. Lawrence university
of Canton ~ Y, and superintendent of
the Universalist church throughout the
country, stopped over in the city yesterday
on his way from the universalist meeting
at Kansas City for the purpose, as he eX-
presses it, of investigating the waste places.
He hustled among the members of the old
congregation and managed ITO drum up a
crowd large enough to insure success when
the ball was once started rolling. Last
night he addressed some advice to the con-
gregation and promised to secure for them
pastor by next fall. In the meantime

that those interested in having better serv-
