IL nau come as great shock upon Mrs.
Erne to find Capt. Tarring among the
passengers on board the boat which was
to bring herself and her daughter back to
England; but on finding that another Of
the passengers was a certain Prince La

lions of good looks, good manners, for
tune and a title, and who was, moreover,

For ordinary occasions the Moro will carry a
dagger Or two in his belt, while if he be Of
sufficient rank, especially when visiting an
American oftifficer, his rms-bearer, usually
some fayorite youth. will carry his larger
weapon, a modern umbrella for the sun and an
extra supply OF line and betel nut. The racial
completely of Moro origin discovers itself Ia
the patterns from his looms, the fashion of his
garments, and, to a certain extent in the
carved ivory and silverWorkS of his weapons
handles. The face characteristics are perhaps
mainly Malay. but in some cases. there is an
undoubteG infusion Of Hindoo blood while
often there are traces of Arab and sometimes,
though less otter, OF Chinese. The patterns on
Moro tapestries belong to the art workers Of
Hindoostan. So does the rather tight tapering
pantaloon and the fashion, of wearing a silver
beaten betel-nut box at the girdle. The Moro
turbap, however, conforming to the Moham-
medan custom, is vet entirely distinct from the
large carefully wound puggzee of India. 1t is

Andrew Rumage, all the way from
Sardho, KY, and on his way to Herndon,
Ia. stopped off In Omaha between trains
yesterday afternoon and remained long
enough to be buncoed out of 81. Andrew
is young looking and has an investigating
turn OF mind in things architectural, and
after f~easting on the beauties of the sta
tion went out to Inspect the viaduct. While
partially dazed with noise of the street cars
and the hackmen's yells he was accosted by
two strangers, who made themselves so
agreeable that all three were soon ex,
changing "reminiscences The strangers
were also going to Herndon. Presently one
of the men needed 81 to pay on his freight.
as he disliked to have a 500 bill changed.
Andrew accommodated him and in return
for the favor was allowed to go back into
the station to watch over the strangers
grip while the two men went to see that
the freight was all right. Andrew watched
faithfully for two hours and finally mus
tered up courage to tell an oficer. The
police have a description OF the men.

at the residence Of Judge e. Wakeley, 607

Of Judge WakeIey. He left the premises,
but presently returned, climbed upon a shed
and entered his wife's room through a win
dow. According to her testimony he pulled
a knife from his pocket and threatened to
kill her. The woman screamed and rushed
down the stairs and informed Judge Wake
ley Of her husbands action. The judge i'm
mediately ~telephoned the police and Oflcer
Knox arrested the colored man and locked
him up. Judge Wakeley was a witness and
conducted the prosecution of the negro in
court. SCOTS only defense was that he

SUPREME LODGE in SESSION
Bankers Union of the world Com
venes at Metropolitan
Hall.

In the hrst supreme lodge Of their or
ganization 100 delegates from the various
lodges Of the Bankers Union Of the World
assembled in Metropolitan hall Wednesday
morning for the opening session OF their
two days convention. President DR.. q. c..
Spinney Of Omaha called the lodge to order
and organization was quickly effected. A
committee on credentials was then named,
as follows: e. c.. Woicott Of Omaha, r.
A. Southworth OF Denver and w. F. Thomp-
son OF Newton, Kan. The work Of this
committee complete, and all delegates con-
Armed, President Spinney then reviewed in
a brief speech the past work and accom-
~plishments OF the Union. After this resume
Supreme Physician DR.. r. s. Anglin gave
his report. and the session closed at IL 80.
In the afternoon at $50 the delegates met
at Fifteenth and Harvey streets and
boarded special street cars for a ride about
the city.
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock is another
business session at Metropolitan hall, at
which supreme officers will be elected. This
is occasioning considerable discussion. The
opinion seems so far almost unanimously in
favor Of re-electing President S~pinney, as
the order has reached It's present prosperity
under his leadership. The other officers at
present are: C. M. Chittenden Of Des
Moines, supreme secretary; H. H. Harder
Of st. George. Utah, supreme banker; Il. H.
Packard Of Omaha, supreme cashier; r. s.
Anglin OF Omaha, supreme physician; Miss
M. Burdock Of Omaha. supreme recorder;
G. d. Miller and J. B. Flynn of Des Moines,
directors. There is some talk of reinstall-
Ing the entire oficial personnel, but II this
were done one change would, 1t is thought,
be necessary. That is in supreme secretary.
Mr.. Chittenden, 1t Is said, will not accept
the place again, and e. H. Packard, now
supreme cashier, has been prominently
mentioned for 1t.
1t is expected that the number OF dele
gates will increase to 200 by Thursday
morning. The membership Of the union is
now about $4,000.

No orders or instru ctions have been for

MILLER AND YATES SPEAK
They Advise Real Estate Exchange
to Treat the Corporations
Literally.

DR.. George L. Miller and H. w. Yates
we're the speakers at the meeting Of the
Real Estate exchange yesterday. Mr.. Yates
spoke Of the work of the exchange in the
taxation litigation and congratulated the
members on their success, saying that While
he was interested somewhat In the cor
porations, he owned so much real estate
thai his sympathies were entirely with the
exchange in the proposition. so long as It
maintained a fight for equality and equity.
He advised the exchange to treat the cor
porations literally and generously in the
matter Of the assessments for this year, now
that the principal had been established.
you have been successful in your con-
test" said he, land I believe that you will
be as earnest to secure an economic ad-
ministration of affairs as in seeing that the
taxes are Justly levied. People who have
the interest of the city at heart must look
In two directions-in one to see that all
bear their just proportion Of the public
burden, and then to see that the money
thus raised is expended In the most eco
nomical amer
DR.. Miller spoke along the same lines,
saying: While / do not believe that the
action Of the exchange was without justi-
fcatioh, and while / want to congratulate
them on their victory, I want to say that
since the suits began the impression has
gone out that Omaha people are opposed
to corporate enterprises. AS long as this
cry against corporations is confined to po-
litical demagogues and agitators 1t will do
little damage, but here in Omaha 1t is seen
that men of responsibility and competence
have taken up the fght. for legal relief
against unequal taxation and this has given
the impression that such men as these are
opposed to corporations In themselves.
This Impression should be corrected and 1t
should be the desire of the members of the
exchange to settle the present agitation as
soon as possible. first seeing that justice is
done all concerned. 1t should be known
that Omaha is willing to welcome capital
whether 1t comes in personal or corporate
form for the development of the city and
state and that all It requires is that capital
bear no more than It's just share Of the
common expense"
