RetiraI OF Mr.. samuel Burns.

Omaha is about to witness the passing
from active business life of one of its
oldest merchandise Samuel Burns, of
crockery fame.
Saturday Mr. Burns turned over to the
Bennett Company his entire stock of high
grade china, crockery, glassware, cut glass
and queensware, preparatory to his retiral
from business. This marks the passing OF
the most interesting figure of the oldest
living generation actively engaged in the
development of western merchandising MI
Burns is the oldest retail merchant on
just completed forty-hve years of unin-
terrupted success in the same locality.
Needless TO say, he is Omaha's king of
crockerydom. He was the first to import
products of the French. German, Austrian,
Italian, Bavarian, Swedish, English, Scotch
and Irish potteries. and there isn't unit
in the spryest bunch Of young crockery eX-
perts but Is willing to acknowledge that
Mr.. Samuel Burns OF Omaha has forgotten
more than 1T Cthe unit has yet learned.
Mr.. Burns is wei. known for his high
character as a business man, and the ter
minatiOn OF a successful commercial career
I'm one OF the most fascinating lines Of re-
failing, is a something that interests every
body.
An inventory OF the stock reveals an
aggregate OF almost $4,000, which has been
sold 10 the Bennett Company. What their
plans are for turning same into cash, and
giving the public an opportunity for secur-
ing traditional samples Of Omaha's pioneer
crockery business-are reserved for our ad-
vertising columns.

night Mr.. Dundy ordered that granny s
box be kept vacant that evening. The

The recent suggestion of Mrs. f. II.
Cole before the Omaha Woman's club. that
the plan of the Chicago Womans club in
its distribution of dues, be considered by
the local organization, has occasioned not
a little inquiry and is worthy the careful
consideration of the local club women.
The Chicago Womens club plan is ex-
planned by the following sections of it's
constitution relating to dues: IAN annual
due of SIS shall be required from each
member before she shall be entitled TO
take part in the election at the annual
meeting. This annual due of SIS shall be
appropriated as follows: Twelve dollars
shall go to the club treasury for club ex-
penses only, 81 to the department to
which the member belongs and the re-
naming 81 goes into a general fund to be
divided equally among the departments
This division of funds shall be made by
the treasurer of the club in November
and April, and the funds so divided shall
be paid to the treasurer of each depart
ment"

GREEK ABUSES A NEWsBoY
Proprietor of shining ParIor LInE
Lad bY His Ears and Gets

Peter SeletopulOn, Grecian proprietor Of
the shoe shining room at 1ilG Fanhm

rested yesterday afternoon by Patrolman

tory preferred by Matron Anna Cundn Of

as Spider" II was also reported that the
Greek also lifted the hoy up by his carr.
Omaha daily bee., 1906-04-15

and was only stopped from infiicting further
punishment by the interference of Matron
Cundin, who had a hand-to-hand tussle
with Seletopulon.
Mrs. Cundif said Seletopulon has been
in the habit of abusing the newsboys for
nearly week
Entrance to the Newsboys' home is gained
through the shining room, and the latter
place was rented with that understanding
Omaha daily bee., 1906-04-15

The constitution further provides that
a member may not be registered in more
than one department, though she may par
ticipate in any or all of them. While tho
Chicago dues are much in excess of the
Omaha dues, the plan might be applied in
a like proportion. The very limited al
lowance of SO year to each department
or the Omaha club has materially re-
stricted the scope of several as the de-
mands of some lines of work necessarily
exceed those of others. The Chicago
plan would relieve this in measure at
least, and would insure a more equitable
distribution or appointment of the dues
by throwing the larger amounts to the
larger departments. 1t has been sug-
gested that this plan might be adopted
by the Omaha club without any change
in the constitution

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY

The election Of delegates who will rep
resent the Omaha woman's club at tho
st Paul biennial will take place Monday
afternoon, April %, by order of the club,
instead of May T. which is the date Of
the annual election Of officers. Not lit
tie interest is being manifested in tho
selection of the new officers. especially IN
the presidency Perhaps the most gem
orally talked of candidate is Mrs. Edward
johnson. who has for the past two years
served as recording secretary. and for two
years preceding, as corresponding secrc-
tary. Mrs. Johnson has been an active
worker i'm several of the largest depart
ments of the club and is, perhaps, moro
closely in touch with its diversified in
terests than any OF the several women
proposed for the presidency. For the past
four years she has been one of it's most
conscientious and efficient officers.
While Mrs. johnson has not consented to
serve she is being strongly urged by sew
cral Of the departments. Mrs. A. W. Bow
man is another member who is being
strongly urged TO accept the nomination.
1t is understood, however, that she has
declined to serve in the first office and
she is being asked 10 accept nomination
for the first vice presidency. Mrs. II. J.
Penfold is another much talked of posi-
biltty. She is at present first vice presi-
dent of the club and has served It before
in other offices. For two years Mrs. Pen
fold filled the Office of treasurer, one Of
the most eXacting and trying positions
on the executive board, and here, as well
as in her present office. she demonstrated
ability that has won her a substantial
support for the first office Mrs. A. b.
Somers is another that is being strongly
advocated for the presidency. She has
not only worked in the art and other de-
partments of the Woman's club but has
had executive experience as president Of
Mu Sigma club. For the other offices there
seems to be little contention The execu-
tive work of the club has come to be
very exacting of time and means as well
as ability am there arc few women among
the most enthusiastic members who are
willing to assume all the responsibility
the Office entails.

the eruption to the activity of a
