men enabled him, he thought to form
an opinion of the relation between the
moneyed interests and the city.
Mr.. Bailey's visit in Hammond yes
terday was in response to an invitation
to address the mems club of st. PauTs
Episcopal church.
This is not Mr.. Bailey's first visit to
the city, as he has been here several
times before for the sake of promot-
ing the movement to establish a Y. NJ
c. A. in this city Each time he has
been disappointed by the disinterested
attitude of the business men in giving
the matter support. and it finally pro-
voked the explanation as above stated.
A big and enthusiastic meeting of
the mems club of St PauTs Episcopal
church listened to a talk by Mr.. Bailey
last night in the guild room of the
church. A large attendance of mem
bers grouped themselves around the
speakers platform. where they listened
with rapt attention to a hear to- heart
talk on the subject Of Christian Citi-
zenship."
Every phase of the subject was treat
ed in a convincing and logical man
ner and the talk was a type of those
that have made this club of inesti-
mable value TO the members who have
the privilege of attending them. At
ter few Introductory remarks, Mr.
Bailey launched with great spirit into
; the body OF the discourse, which was
so much appreciated because it was
1 spoken by one in a position to know
| because of his wide experience in botl
business and church life.
Decrfes Sins of Omission.
We must be more than just good
citizens" said Mr. Bailey The ma
jority OF young men. men in business
life, and citizens of every class. arr
not inclined TO be bad; they co moth.
ing actually wrong. But that is no
all that is required OF them. The,
must be more than this; all Of then
should be factors in the improvement
OF others and in the upbuilding OF I'll,
church In short. TO be a good citi
zen you must not only be good yol
must do good. Business and recreation
are not the only things to be consid
cred They represent the attainmen
of money, pleasure and health. whicl
are Of course, necessary. but they neve
should be obtained at the sacrifice o
religion
IN conclusion the speaker impresse
upon his hearers the fact that wha
one gets out Of life is measured b
what one puts into it. and therefor,
the quality of citizenship is what tn
citizens themselves make it.

Conduct in Court.

Three remarks which. according to the
bill of particulars, were made by w. j.
Council, attorney for the coal combine, dur
tempt proceedings which Judge Sutton Fri
day morning ordered the county attorney
to begin against the attorney.
In reviewing the Incidents Of the case
and stating his reasons for believing Mr..
Cornell in contempt Of court, Judge Sutton
made an arraignment of the attorney.
The first remark of Mr.. Connell was made
after the court had heard his argument
Of the law of the case for a long time
The court had listened to Mr.. Connelrs
argument of the law for nearly a day.
said Judge Sutton, and did not care to
hear any more argument, and It was then
that he, In a disrespectful, contemptuous
and insulting manner, and In a sarcastic
tone Of voice, intended to humiiate and
intimidate the court. made the statement.
Some of the things said by Mr. Connell
during the trial have been condoned be-
cause of his apology to the court, but there
are others which cannot be overlooked so
easily without detriment to the dignity of
the law"
County Attorney English will draw up
the complaint against Mr.. CoRnell as soon
as possible, though it is not likely 1t will
be ready before next week.
Mr. Connell had a voluminous copy of
the bill of particulars of the coal combine
case, which he wanted Judge Sutton to
examine ard certify. The court refused to
do this until the motion for a new trial

FORCE OF AN OLD PRovERB
Attorney stevens of Hastings First
Victim of His own PhiIO-
sophie warning.

Attorney Stevens of Hastings blew into
the office OF the clerk of the district court
the other day and asked to take out the
papers In a certain case. File Clerk Ber-
trand warned him to take good care Of
them, but the attorney waved his fears
aside with lofty gesture.
Trust me to take care of Them he
said, airily and cheerily. mo harm shall
befall thy cherished files, my friend, while
they are in my hands. Order is natures
first law. Such, too. should 1t be to man,
for man is the creature of nature. Take
care of the little things and the great things
will take care of themselves"
1t is impossible to inform the reader just
how long the lawyer might have continued
to give voice to these proverbs and to bask
in the light Of virtuous department had the
file clerk not been too busy to give the
closest attention. So Mr.. Stevens de-
parted
A few minutes later a man brought some
papers into the district clerks Office They
were those taken out by Mr.. Stevens, minus
the covers. The attorney followed soon.
He had the covers and was not In the
most amiable mood
Nice trick you played me-" he said.
"Gave me these covers and kept the pa
pers here. My time in Omaha is limited
or might appreciate the joke more"
THE papers were inside the covers when
you took them out" said Mr.. Bertrand.
You must have dropped them out Of the
covers somewhere"
Then the attorney looked troubled. He
repeated certain mystic words In an I'M
dertone and rallied bitterly against the
foolish and shiftless custom OF wrapping
valuable papers in slippery covers for the
undoinR Of busy lawyers Finally Mr. Rer.
trand, with his blandest smile and most
deliberate manner. produced the papers
which had been lost. The attorney re-
placed them in the covers with profuse
thanks.
Remember TO take care OF the little
things and the great things will take care
of themselves" the ale clerk shouted as
the attorney disappeared from the room.
But the remark OF the clerk fell on barren
ground and was trampled under foot as the
attorney continued his swift flight.

Miss K. F. Bremner of the Albion Road
public school, Edinburgh, Scotland, visited
in Omaha Friday as the guest of Superin-
tendent Davidson, who is member of the
American committee of the Mosely commits
sion, which is assisting in the work of
sending 500 teachers from Great Britain to
the United States for the purpose of max
ing comparisons in teaching methods and
to CLEAN helpful suggestions to be used in
the British school systems Miss Bremner
was the first of the visitors to reach
Omaha.
The teachers from King Edwards realm
are coming over in groups of five, the last
to arrive in March, According to Miss
Bremner's report, most of the teachers are
OF the idea that when they reach Chicago
they have reached the end of their Journey
so far as seeing anything of interest in the
way of public schools, but Miss Bremner
went as far as the Pacific coast and from
Omaha will proceed to Kansas City, St
Louis and other cities.
Miss Bremner, who is one of eight teach
ers from Edinburgh, has been much inn
pressed with what she has observed en-
route. She is to make report to her COM
mission on return to Scotland.
"Of the many impressions received in the
American schools the most striking has
been the spontaneous bond of sympathy
existing between the teachers and pupils
and the fine equipment" Miss Bremner
said ''In my country we have certain we'll

place in the school room as elsewhere.
"As for principals of schools, we
have in Edinburgh only men principals,
with women as heads of departments of
schools. In our school, where we have
1900 pupils, I have charge OF 800 on the
lower floor. But 1 unhesitatingly say that
men principals have better control over
the public schools than women have
Alfred Mosely of London, who is head of

expenses of the teachers sent to this coun-

the steamers and arranges for their leaves
and secures other privileges which pave
the way for their visit here. Some time
ago he sent an Industrial delegation here
and later sent thirty prominent educators
and school officials to this country, doing
much good along these lines. Mr.. Mosely's
plans for 1907 are to have 1000 American
teachers from all the principal cities visit

stranEIes TO Death.
The man had evidently strangled, as the
distance from the iron girder, to which the
binding Irvine had been tied, to the ground
was only about five feet. and the man had
drawn up his knees in a crouching position.
His hat was on his head when he was
found. He was roughly dressed and wore
cheap overcoat. Nothing was found in
his pockets except a pair of spectaces, a
comb and a slip Of paper bearing the ad-
dress OF Frank Gender, Irvlngton. Gender
was formerly a cook at Irvington and hired
employees by giving them notes similar to
that found on the body OF the unidentified
man. The man was a we'll known charac-
ter around the commission house district
many persons being found who knew him
by sight, but not by name. He was feeble
and in extremely poor health and eked out
an existence by gleanings of decayed fruit
and vegetables from the different commits
sion houses. Coroner Bradley will hold an
inquest over the body at p. m.
Sam Goodman, who attempted to take
his life about 915 Friday morning by
shooting himself in the right breast, had
TeSlBneo MS pOsltlOh as laDOrer at inc
Union Pacific yards Thursday night and
complained of feeling sick Friday morning
and said he would not go to work. He
had lived at the house at al North Twelfth
street with Moses Rosenblaat and wife for
about four months and occupied the front
room Of the cottage. where he committed
the deed. Little hope is entertained for his
recovery. He had many hemorrhages Fri
day morning and lost considerable blood.
Goodman lie q years Of age and unmar-
ried. He has relatives living in his native
country and came to the United States
about two years ago. No possible cause
can be assigned for his attempt to end
his life, as he was very cheerful Friday
morning and had just written a long letter
to his parents. He had no bad habits. as
far as is known by Rosenblaat and his
wife, and had few acquaintance.

about s:15 Friday morning by shooting him

while alone in his room at al North

General hospital and probably will die.
No reason can be assigned for the suicide
Of L. Il. Emerson unless II was due to
financial troubles. He had lived at the
rooming house of Miss Martin on Leaven-

and wished to get plenty of sleep, as he

that his laundry was at the Kimball Laun-
