PLAY BALL, MR.. TYLER!
Unionists Gave You the Office. Now
Play the Game Fair.

James Tyler became water commits
sioner last Tuesday morning, succeed
ing Mr.. Deffenbaugh, the gentleman
who didn't propose to let the damned
unionist" run his department.
The damned unionists" did not try
to run the department, but they did
undertake to have some say about
who should run it, and as result Mr..
Deffenbaugh is out, and Mr.. Tyler is
in. And Mr.. Tyler owes his nominal
ton to the fact that little bunch
of trades unionists got together the
night before the republican primaries
were held, and framed up the scheme
that resulted in Mr.. Tyler's nominal
ton by very scanty margin If it
hadn't been for that little meeting, and
the work that resulted therefrom, Mr..
Tyler would have been defeated.
Now let Mr. Tyler show his appre-
citation of the favor. Trades unionists
they do not want to dictate appoint
ments; the do not ask any undue ad
vantage over other citizens who are
worthy of confidence But they do in
sist that no man who is untrue to his
obligation and wholly without a sense
of gratitude is worth of place
of trust or profit under the city. It's
an old story to the trades unionists
of Lincoln, Mr.. Tyler, but it may be
a new one to you. Here its is: Sew

accident and laid up for nine or ten
weeks. Just before his injury he
bought the lumber to build himself a
little cottage His brother unionists
donated their work and built the cot
tage for him while he was confined
to his bed. Shortly after his recovery
he secured a job as fireman at city

THE BUILDING TRADES.
Committee confers With Executive
Committee Of Commercial Club.

Committee confers With Executive
Committee Of Commercial Club.
A conference which promises to
have a most important bearing on the
industrial future of Lincoln was held
at the Commercial Club rooms last
Wednesday evening. A committee
from the Allied Buildings Trades Coun-
Gil met the executive committee of the
Commercial Club and for two hours
the labor situation in Lincoln was
thoroughly discussed. The best of
feeling was manifest on both sides, and
when the conference adjourned it was
felt that a better understanding exis-
ted all around.
The building trades committee call
ed attention to the fact that the
contractors who employ union labor in
variably employed craftsmen who
made Lincoln their home, paid taxes
and spent their money with Lincoln
merchants. On the other hand, the I'M
fair contractors, many of them non
residents themselves, employed any
body that came along, and the majority
of their employees were nomads who,
when the season was over, pocketed
their money and took it to other towns
to spend. This was admitted by the
business men to be fair statement of
the facts.
The matter of home patronage was
discussed at some length, and the
views expressed by the craftsmen
were endorsed in large part by the
business men.
1t was decided to have another con-
ference in the near future, and in the
meanwhile both parties to the confer
ence will draw up sort of platform
differences, and work in harmony for
the upbuilding of Lincoln.
The members of the building trades
committee are emphatic in their ex-
rressions Of thanks for the courte-
Gus hearing and the evidence of fair
ness and sympathy expressed by the
Commercial Club committee 1t was
q vindication of the old claim that Il
the other fellows" would only post
themselves on what union men are try
ing to do for themselves, their fell
lows and their communities, there
would be no antagonism.

Unprecedented Demand for Men: and
Everybody at Work.

Despite the unfavorable building
" Gather. there is a veritable boom on
in the building line, and the supply of
union carpenters is scarcely equal to
the demand. Monday a call came
from Ashland for five union men, AMI

The British army was once in
difficulties through the lack OF a
hangman. Murder was committed
by soldier in the Crimea, but no.
body could be found to carry out the
sentence of the court-martial.
1t was announced that f20 and a
free discharge would be granted to
the man undertaking the task. At
last a man did volunteer. He was a
newcomer to the army.
On the night prior to the date
fixed for the execution they locked
up the hangman In a stable to keep
him safe. In the morning the party

School For Girls,

1t has remained for French lady
MADAME Adolphe Brisson-to
found a university for the training
of the perfect woman. 1t is called
the University des Annales, and the
opinion of It's foundress, Nine. Adol-
phe Brisson, is that 1t is "one of the
sanest and soundest Institutions yet
devised for making women still more
womanly."
The Univertite des Annales works
on original lines. In one class room
a group of pretty girls will study
poetic dressmaking and the art of
designing picturesque frocks. In the
lecture hall the students will be re-
galed with a lecture on 'Woman's
Coquetry."
This novel curriculum, it is contend
ed, will minimize the danger Of the
sweet girl graduate developing into
the dreaded "blue-stoocking."

Wild Geese on Migration

At the end of March or during

geese in the Outer Hebrides collect
in one place before taking their de-
parture for their nesting haunts
within the Arctic Circle.
To estimate their number is I'M
possible, and to behold this vast
concourse OF geese is one OF the
sights OF lifetime. The vast host Of
birds stands packed together in n
huge phalanx till the king Of the
graylegs starts the fight. AS the old
leader ascends hundred thousand
voices salute him. but none stirs till
from overhead he gives the call for
his subjects to follow him.

SPAIN'S ROYAL NURSERY,
Queen Victoria Planned Every De.
tail to Salt Her Own Ideas.

The rooms prepared in the palace
at Madrid for the young Prince Al
fonso are the product of his mother s
planning in every detail. Queen Vic
tOria has had to yield to Spanish
prejudices in many matters, but in
preparing the nursery for her baby
she insisted on having her own way
The suit is situated directly above
the Queens bedroom and commune
Gates with her apartments by a pri-
yate staircase. 1t Is on the sunny
side of the palace and 1t consists OF
a day and night nursery, dining
room, bathroom, dormltory for the
attendants and work room.
Green and white are the colors Of
the day nursery. On the '"alls is a
continuous series of animal pictures
Among the peculiarities of this
room, which is to be the royal play
room, is the fact that there is not
a sharp corner in 1t. Every angle
Is rounded so that the stumbling of
the little feet may not result in cuts
and bruises
Another feature is that the room
Itself from floor to ceiling and every
article in It, except the delicately
rose tinted carpet of English manu-
facture, is washable. The windows
are protected without with hammer
ed iron gratings of antique design.
The night nursery is adorned with
three frescoes, Morning" Midday"
and Might" The first shows
baby awakening in a cradle flooded
with sunshine; the second little
child eating; the third little boy
saying his evening prayers by his
bed.
The furniture is of mahogany, lac
quered white. A frieze of grotes-
que figures borders the walls.
Young Alfonso occupies the same
crib that his father and grandfather
slept in, but the Queen has hai 1t re-
modelled. 1t used to be ornament
ed with two high pillars which sup
ported a canopy modelled on the
Spanish crown. From this heavy
draperies of lace flowed to the
ground.
The Queen has had pillars, canopy
and curtains removed. The court
says she was afraid of the crowns
falling and crushing the infant.
Most likely It was pr moderl appre-
citation Of free circulation of air about
the child that dictated the change.
All the rooms though neoutiful
are simple. They are planned and
adorned in the child spirit. Queen
Victoria is something of fresh air
flend; she inherits is from her grand
mother and name AXE. The thor
ough ventilation Of the royal nursery
has been her special care and 1t is
said she has made sure Of it to
degree that fills her Spanish atten-
dants with wonder.

The Renewal a Strain.

Vacation is over. Again the school
bell rings at morning and at noon,
again with tens of thousands the hard
est kind of work has begun, the re-
newal of which is mental and physi-
cal strain to all except the most rug

ago had roses in her cheeks, and the
little boy whose lips were then so red
you would have insisted that they had
been kissed by Strawberries" have
already lost something of the appear
ance of health. Now Is II time when
many children should be given tonic

lcvor is sufficient to regulate the
speed and is placed in close proxim-

peculiar feature is the method OF
steering. This is done by means of
the feet, very much like young boy

hands are at all times free, the rider
being able to enjoy a smoke with
pleasure. Other peculiar features
are the size of the wheels and the
height of the frame above the

ters filled with armed Orientals

coming the storm center of the Ash

Thousands of japanese and Chin

their leaders being powerless to pre-
vent gathering which, they recog-
nize, may have serious consequences.
Such is the situation consequent on
the riot, when a detachment from a
parade Of 10000 white men organ
tied to protest against Oriental immi-
grafton swept through Chinatown and
JaptoWn, smashing every window
with an Asiatic name above it.
Al the Summer the feeling against
the Orientals has been growing. A
poll tax Of $500 keeps the Chinese
out but treaty obligations compel the
admission of japanese, and they have
been swarming in by shiploads from
Japan and Honolulu, following an
Invasion by Sikhs and Hindus from
British India last Winter
Feeling reached dangerous pitch,
