An InnOyatOr.

Harper's Bazar: 81 have called on you to-
day." said the professional humorlst, with
a glad smile. as he approached the desk of
the great editor and made himself >omfort-
able in the precarous office chair that once
had a cane bottom in it, Ito PROFOUND 4
scheme that seems to me to be up to date
and we'll worthy of consideration"
"Umph!" growled the great editor. Thus
encouraged the humorist proceeded.
For some time past, as you have doubt
less observed, the progress of the world has
developed a peculiar phase, which may be
spoken of as that of lessening. 1t seems
to be the ambition of all inventors to add
the word less to everything that has been
invented in the past. We now have smoke
less powder, painless dentistry horseless
carriages, wireless telegraphy, and many
other things have undergone a change
that may be similarly described; but l will
not trouble you with a complete list. Now
it seems to me that the time is ripe for a
similar stride forward in the field of humor
and l have come to you today with bun
die Of specially prepared pointless jokes"
And in less time than 1t takes to write
this hatless and breathless humorist was
fleeing wildly down the cheerless street.

NEW YoRK,s CHINATOWN FATED.
A Picturesque Corner of the Metrop-
oils to Be Raced.

Chinatown, with all its vice and squalor,
with its mysterious novels and rookeries;
Chinatown, the most striking picturesque bit
Of foreign local color in New York Is
doomed Fathered by President James j..
Coogan of the borough OF Manhattan the
decree has gone forth that Pell street, which
with Mott and alley-like Doyers streets,
forms Chinatown, shall be widened. 1t Is
proposed to widen Pell street from its pres
ent width, which is not over thirty feet, to
100 feet To do this, reports the New York
World, every house in the south side Of that
street would have to be razed. The street is
two blocks long and those two blocks are
perhaps the most densely populated in the
metropolis.
Come what may in the line of improve
ments, New York will always have China
town. a gay, crowded Chinatown as wicked
as it is picturesque a Chinatown with
gorgeously bedecked little shops, with
shambling Ceestials for its permanent resi-
dents, gay tourists, for its transients, tink-
ling cymbas and rafting tom-toms for Its
music and the heavy scent of cooked opium
for its atmosphere. But with the demolition
of the present Pell and Doyers street houses
will come the passing of the original China
town, which has grown into popularity
during the present generation and become
famous throughout the world President
Coogans decree has sounded the death
knell of the Chinatown that will ever be
remembered in song and story, the Mecca
OF all Mongolians in the east and, as the
heart of New York slums, the objective point
Of tourists and sightseers. Though ths
buildings to be razed are almost all mere
shells OF obsolete architecture, some OF
them even being wooden structures erected g
half century ago, their thousands Of tenants
pay rents which are comparatively enormous
For the privilege OF living in the darkest
| flthest novels in the city, the Chinaman
who seems to hate the light of day as mucf
as other people crave 1t, is willing to pay
handsomely 1t is natural that owners o
property there are the chief opponents o
| the proposed improvement. Indeed, they are
the only opponents. One OF the owners o.
| Pel street property from which high rents
are drawn from Chinatown Is Lady Beres
ford, formerly the duchess of Marlborough
The Chinese are wildly excited over thu
impending doom OF their quarter of thu
city. 1t is the chief topic Of conversation
there, from gloomy cellar dives to garrets
! Daily bright red posters are pasted In con
spicuous places along the streets, on which
scrubbed in Chinese characters, is thu
latest news regarding the proposed change
in the streets of Chinatown. These impro
vised bulletin boards have been chiefly use
heretofore for displaying private letters from
the Far East to the public gaze In order tina
| less fortunate Cinnamon might get new
| from their former homes. Now the an
! nouncements deal with street widening ant
about them jabbering groups of Celestial
gather and protest against being driven iron
the holes which they and myriads OF rat
! occupy in common.

ARREST OF FRED M. WlvINIs
Neglects His Wife and Child and Con-
sorts with "Teddy" Bertram,
~ Courtesnn.

Owing to the complaint of his wife to
1904 Webster street, was arrested yesterday
morning and locked up. AT the same time
courtesan named Teddy Bertram, with
whom he had been associatng, was
brought in.
According to the story related by Mrs.
Wivins, who Is not in good health, her hus-
band has been neglecting to furnish the
| necessary support for her and their 6-year-
old boy. Saturday night she went to his
shop and called him outside, where she in
| formed him that there was not even a
crumb in their rooms, 612 North Seven
| teenth street, and that their little boy was
crying for food. Wivinis had been away
| from home several days, and had neglected
| to send anything to the house. He gave an
example of his liberality when his wife re-
| lated the boys condition by giving her 10
cents with which to get focd.
After closing, instead of going home, WI
WINS visited the 'lowands," frcm which he
forgot to return. Captain Donahue says he
was appraised Of Mrs. Wivinis' condition by
| her father about week ago. He notified
Teddy Bertram then that she must cease her
association with Wivnis so when he heard
| she had not done so he had her locked up.
She stated then that she had done nothing
since the captain warned her, and that she
| had told Wivinis to go on about his business,
| but he had refused to do so.
| Wivinis stated that he did not blame his
| wife for the action she had taken as 1t
served him right. He had neglected her and
she was much too good for him. He said
! they separated once, and he had given his
| wife money which to go home, but they
made up later, and he had intended to do
what was right. This was less than a
| week ago.
| Wivinis and his wife came here from a
small town about ninety miles north on the
Elkhorn. His wife bears a good reputation
there and her father is highly respectable
farmer

"About two years ago began to run

flesh; my blood was impoverished and
had to leave our store.
"The doctors gave me little tonic,
but l steadily grew worse and consulted
another doctor. He helped me in some
ways, but my headaches continued, and
I began to have night sweats and my
rest was SO disturbed that would have
hysteria and would cry and worry over
business matters and my poor health.
FINALLY, husband took me South but
with no benefit. This was year ago;
no one can ever know what winter of
misery l spent. Would bloat after

Compound, the Mysteries nearly stopped

ADMIRAL SCHleY'S RETURN
Royal Arcnnum on Wcdncs-
day Evening.

Union Pacific council Royal Arcanum, as
sisted by other members of the order in this
city, South Omaha and Council Bluffs, pro-
poses to do itself proud in extending donor
on next Wednesday night to Rear Admiral
w. s. Schley, who is today the most dis
tiEguished man in the ranks of the order.
The reception which will be given to him
on that evening will not only be the most
elaborate ever held in the fraternal cir
cles Of the city, but will vie in magnihcance
with the swell functions that are given in
the upper crust of Omaha society.
AS has already been announced, the
Metropolitan club house instead of the Com
mercial club rooms, will be the scene of
the affair. The entire club house will be
used for the occasion, and from top to bot
tom it will be most profusively decorated
with flowers, plants and flags and coors,
arranged harmoniously that the club rooms
will be bowers of beauty. A large orchestra
will be on hand and most dainty refresh
ments will be served during the evening.
The reception proper will be held on the
first floor of the club house. The receiving
party will be stationed here, and will con-
sist of Rear Admiral Schley and wife, Gen
eral Manderson and wife, and perhaps a
guests of the evening will be received on
this floor, and after shaking hands with
the receiving party, will be expected to pro-
ceed to the second floor The reception will
commence at o'clock, and half hour later
the dancing will commence In the big ball
room.
The committee having the matter in charge
wishes to have 1t strictly understood that
attendance to the reception can be secured
only by presenting invitations at the door.
This rule has been found necessary as the
reception is to be strictly a Royal Arcanum
affair, and the whole evening will probably
be required to enable all Royal Arcanum
members in this part OF the country to shake
the hand of the distinguished visitor.
About 1000 invitations will be issued to
members in this city, South Omaha, and
Council Bluffs, and as each member is per-
mitted to bring his family with him on his
invitation the crowd will be big enough IL
confined to the members of the order. The
invitations that are being issued are very
handsome. In addition to the lettering they
bear in one corner an engraving of an
admirals flag.
The entire affair is being engineered by
Union Pacific council, and the committee
from this council was instrumental in Sc
curing Admiral Schley's consent to meet the
members of the order in this city at a
reception After the affair had been planned
| and all arrangements were made, the other
members of the order in this city, Council
Bluffs, and South Omaha, were invited to
attend the reception.
Admiral Schley will arrive Wednesday
morning at 80. 1t is possible that he will
remain a day longer, but this is not settled.

Mayor Ensor expects to attend the meeting
of the city council tonight and he will urge
that some action be taken on his request
for six additional policemen. The force at
this time is composed of thirteen men and
one chief. This, the mayor asserts, Is not
enough and he proposes to do what he can
to induce the council to authorize the ap-
pCintment of the additional men asked for.
City Engineer Beal will make a report on
the amount of work to be done on the
Twenty fourth street paving and some steps
may be taken to provide the money for this
work. The engineer has measured the
holes in the pavement and the thinks that
the street can be placed in first class con-
dition for $3.50. Mayor Ensor is inclined to
think that the best way out of the diGl-
Guilty would be to let a contract to some
paving company to keep the street in repair
for term of years. Bids could be adver
tsed for and certain sum per year be
paid to the successful contractor Under
this plan it is thought that the street could
be kept up in good condition for about
$1,000 a year. Money for this purpose
might be borrowed under the emergency
clause or an addition to the annual levy
might be made for this purpose. 1t has
been suggested that the entire surface be
torn up and miled and then relaid This
would make practically a new pavement as
the base is in fair condition. The cost
however, would be large and 1t would be
necessary to vote bonds in order to secure
funds to pay for the work. AS the question
is an important one the outcome will no
doubt be watched with interest by tax

Think what they would mean II he could

finished my course'--yes, that course that

References were made to Colonel stotsen-
berg in all the other churches today The
following is quotation from the sermon OF
DR.. Hindman OF the First Presbyterian
church:
I'VE do not forget the struggle through
which we have just passed with Spain. We
mourn today with those who mourn for hus-
bands. fathers, sons and lovers who will
never return to homes which were fett but
short year ago. Our hearts, our homes
and our city today pay tribute OF respect
and love to all that is mortal Of brave
Colonel Stotsenberg, who fell in the charge,
with his face to the foe. who, by his civic
honor, personal worth, military discipline
and heroic galantry disarmed all criticism.
This state was not worthy OF him"
Immediately after the services the casket
was removed to the Burlington depot and
this afternoon at 2:15 the trip east to Wash
ington, ID. c. was resumed by Mrs. Stotsen-
berg and Lieutenant Cavanaugh They were

at the stock yards and packing houses For
the six days ending Saturday 1922 cars OF
stock arrived at this market. Shippers gen
orally were pleased at the prices obtained
and consequently little or no stuff was sent
on to other markets. The most noticeable
increase has been in hog receipts the weeks
receipts numbering 63,016 head, the largest
of the year. From January 1 up to and in
cluding May o. S55,1S7 hogs have been mar
keted at this point, as compared with 74O,-

Yesterdays Washington dispatches con-

in South Omaha would be increased en-

ono registry clerk. Postmaster Etter is in
clined to think that this Is an error as he
has received authority for the employmsnt of
only one more carrier 1t is possible that
since Congressman Mercer's visit to South
Omaha a few days ago he was impressed
with the necessity for more help and has
urged the appointment of two carriers in
stead Of one and also one registry clerk
Captain Etter said yesterday that a clerk
in the registry department was greatly
needed and he hoped that Congressman
Mercer had been able to secure one for
this office
First Assistant Postmaster Heath is very
anxious to have the office here moved into
the new building on July 1, and It Is
barely possible that the ground floor will
be completed in time for transfer on that
date. Regarding the possibility of the first
floor Of the new building being completed
by July l Superintendent Cramer stated
yesterday that unless unforeseen delays
occurred the rooms would be ready for oc-
cupancy in about a month. An effort will
be made to hasten the work as much as
possible in order to relinquish possession
of the present quarters at the end Of the
