Another step has been made in Omaha
toward the establishment OF the home club
system for business women in the recent
INCORPORATION Of a number Of professional
nurses into an organization to be known as
the Nurses club. For q number OF years
there has been a want felt by the trained
nurses Of the city. graduates Of hospitals
or schools outside OF Omaha, OF headQuart-
ers where they with other nurses like
themselves. not identified with some OF the
local hospitals. might come In touch with
each other, and where others desiring their
professional services might hnd or com
municate with them. For some time a
sort OF bureau was maintained by the
various downtown drug stores, where the
women themselves all lived at one Of the
downtown family hotels. This did not al
together sufice. There was the want OF
that home atmosphere and quiet so es-
sentiai to real rest after the long vigil In
the sick room and It was finally decided to
furnish apartments and employ a house
keeper. This plan worked admirably for
about a year. so successfully in fact, that
the women concluded to organize q club
through which the privileges they were
enjoying might be extended to others Of
their profession. like themselves, from out
Of the city. Accordingly on June 5 they
were incorporated. their object. as stated,
being to furnish nurses to those desiring
them and maintain a club house for their
members and keep their profession up to
ths standard Of graduates Of the best schools
and hospitals in the country.
A big airy ten-room house at 21l6 Cass
street has been leased for two years and
fitted up. Its furnishing. while by no
means elaborate, is most comfortable and
there is a homelike, coy altogetherness
about the place that is wholly restful and
inviting. The membership Is not limited
and the clubs Affairs are managed by a
board Of trustees. thirteen In number. AS
yet only breakfast and lunch are served
at the club, these being prepared on the
cooperative plan as the other household
details are managed. The women are en-
thusiastic over their plan and confident Of
its success.

HON. JOIN w. M,COY


The Hon. John w Mccoy. a
prominent lawyer, of Fairmont,
died at his home In that city Sun
day morning at half past eight
O'Clock, of grip. He was In the 70 b
year OF his age and was born 10
this county at his fathers home,
Joseph McCov, on Middle Island
creek, on the i4th day OF Septem
Der, 1926. The deceased was by
profession lawyer of marked abil
/ ty and we believe served two
terms as prosecuting attorney OF
this county. In 1868 be removed
to FaiTmont and has been actively
engaged in the practice of law In
that city up until the time of his
death. He also practiced law In
New Martinsville. his partner in
that city being Judge T. P. Jacobs.
This partnership continued until
Mr.. Mccoy became too old TO at
tend to the business. He also con-
tinued to practice law In this coun-
ty for many years and was con-
sidered one of the best posted law
yers on the laws of real estate In
the State of West Virginia. He
was twice elected prosecuting attor-
, ney of Marion county.
A number of years ago he was
elected judge of court OF oyer and
terminer for The counties of Marion,
Marshall and Wetzel, but the state
constitution was amended and the
Office abolished before the time
came for him to take his seat on
the bench. Owing to his promi-
hence as lawyer he was often
called to other counties to partici-
pate In important cases. In May,
1855, deceased was united In mar
rage to Della M Evans, of Nor
gantown, who died short time
ago. To this union nine children
were born, eight of whom survive,
namely: Joseph M James E.,
William R John B Earnest, Paul
and Miss Minnie Mccoy and Mrs.
Charles I. Nesbitt.
James G. Mccoy, of Pursley, Is a
brother of the deceased. All the
McCoys of this city were related to
the deceased, being cousins. His
funeral will take place from his late
home tomorrow morning and will
| be attended by his brothers from
this county and some OF his other
relatives. He was always staunch
Democrat, an honest man. and was
respected most highly by all who
had the pleasure of his acquain
t,nce. We extend our kindest sym
pathy to the bereaved members and
r. latives of the family.

CHUCK CONNORS, QUAINT cHARAc.
TER OF NEW Works. SLUMS.

Social Leader I'm Chinese District of
the Great City-His Annual Ball.
Queer Product of the Metropolis.
Meeting With Hall Game.
The annual ball of the Chuck Con-
ners association has come and gone,
and nothing is left of it but a memory.
And such q memory! The elite of so
ciety Eof New York's Chinatown and
adjacent districts in the BOwery are
of one opinion as to the success of Mr..
ConnorS latest contribution to the gay
ETY. of life.
For several weeks prior to the great
event huge posters decorated the walls
of Chinese restaurants and Bowery Nsa-
looms announcing the date of the event
and bearing the admonition, Bring
your wads with you" And bring them
they did, and spend them they did.
But all this was to be expected and
was in the proper spirit, for when the
association which takes its name from
the redoubtable Chuck gives ball the
bars are let down, and everything
goes, and goes to the limit, which is
taken off. So much for Chuck Con-
norS' ball.
Chuck Connors, by the way, is not a
fictitious character. as some may sup
pose, but a living, breathing entity,
very much in evidence in the everyday
life of the peculiar district of New
York In which is to be found the 1ot-
sam and jetsam of all the world, in
Guiding China.
In a rather dingy Chinatown saloon
Chuck Connors holds court. 1t is only
a few doors away from the famous
Bowery, in Pell street, the principal
street of Chinatown. And here Chuck
rules, for he is the unquestiOned boss
of his district.
Chuck's public career began as a
newsboy and bootblack. He used to
ply his trade at the New York end of
the Brooklyn bridge and along Park
row. AS he accumulated years and
muscle he became a prizefighter and
later developed into an actor. These
employments of callow days have now
been relegated to the past, and it is as
saloon keeper and leader of the peo-
pie that he is seen at his best.
Among newspaper men Chuck Con-
nors is a great favorite, and his queer
conceits and original humor have fur
