before the address by solo from Miss
Maud Caldbcck.
The meeting was in charge of the liter
ature committee and Miss Morse an
nounced that in place of Rev. Edward T.
Fairbanks the committee had secured
Rev Dr. Edward D. Eaton to speak upon
"Three Epochs in Wordsworth's Life"
1t was hardly necessary for the speaker
to preface his carefully prepared address
by saving hat Wordsworth was his
tavorte poet, as the address showed a
rare sympathy with the poets love of
nature and a keen appreciation OF his
poetic creations. The brief biogra phical
data were supplemented by personal
"reminiscences OF the lake region, and the
address wasillumined with liberal quota
tons from the poets masterpieces and
individual poems. The epochs in Words
worths lite were his boyhood or forma-
tive period, the student lie full Of en-.
thuslasm, and the mature lie he epoch
making period in the lie OF his poetry.
The love of nature influenced his writings
and with this came the influence OF the
home lite. His was a simple life, yet
rarely rich in the fellowship Of noble
women. Fame came to him at the
close OF long life, though his writings
brought him little r, Enumeration because
OF the myrcIless and ceaseless attacks OF
! The critics.
At the close OF this inspiring address
Mrs Eaton rtcited "Intimations OF I'm
mortality in a manner that charmed
all her hta rers.

The Boston Mail.

The petitions for the early morning
mail are being sent to Washington, and
numerous letters have been sent Con
gresham Haskins urging the Importance
OF the matter. In the meantime the
Boston morning papers nave decided to
run their own train from Lawrence to
Conc I'd, and since Monday morning the
Herald, Globe and Journal have arrived
here at 10 As and been delivered by the
newsdealer before noon. The reading
public greatly appreciate the enterprise
and it is believed it is only a question OF
time when the mail service will be in
augurated. The only opposition to the
service comes from the Manchester
Union and their reason for Directing to
this service is very evident.

BIG STORE PEOPLE AT PICNIC
seventy-Five Employees of Brandeis
Enjoy Fine Outing mt sRrpy
MiII.

Seventy-fve employees OF j. L. Brandeis &
Sons forgot the Establishments OF the bar
gain squares and banished the cares OF spe-
cial sales yesterday at their annual stag
picnic at sarpy Mills. The affair was con-
Quoted under the name of the Brandes
Athletic club. an organization that shows
signs Of life only at these annual intervals.
A band wagon and two decorated carry
alls left the Brandeis store shortly after Z
o'clock in the morning, with a bugier sig
mailing the advance and a Dixie band of
colored musicians keyed up to a point of
musical abandon.
A double-header base ball game Of intense
interest was played. In the first game the
Fashionable Suits" beat the Bonnet
Silks" by score of TO Z. In the second
contest, the "Brandeis Specials trimmed
the 'F'lorsheim Shoes to the tune of to Z.
The hurdle race was won by Harry Plum
beck, while Jack Evans won the 1Oo-yard
dash in something over O:10 fiat. The chief
novelty was a horse race with Phil Aarons,
Hugh Delaney. Roy Wells and Bob F1gley
astride mettlesome veterans from the liv-
cry barn. Bob F1gley's charger proved the
best slayer In a half-mile run.
Major Phil Aarons, with a gaudy bonnet
and a princess skirt made from an Ameri-
can nag acted as master of ceremonies in
the various skits p. f. Tier was brief
visitor and told of his project in establishing

elected mayor OF Dream City after a short
speech to the picnickers. The entire day

HEBREW INSTITUTE PLANS
Project Meets with Enthusiastic Sue
cess and Committee Holds
Lively Meeting.

An enthusiastic meeting OF the committee
having in charge the founding of an Omaha
Hebrew institute was held yesterday. The
project, which had languished somewhat
owing to the San Francisco horror, was
entered upon with renewed vigor and
every hope of ultimate success. At a
meeting of the local Bnai Birth lodges,
which are promoting the undertaking, a
considerable subscription was pledged.
Cards on which subscriptions may be made
are being circulated as rapidly possible.
Prominent Jews of Omaha are being urged
to subscribe and some success is being
attained as many feel Il is not only for the
good of the Jewish population, but an en-
terprise that tends to the growth OF the
city, since the primary purpose Of the
school is for the upbunding of citizenship.
II this project is a success, as now
seems certain, the promoters have in mind
the building of an institution in which, not
only the schools, but all Jewish lodges
and charitable societies may hnd perma-
nent home.
