Approximately $3.50. 900 per annu.n will be

water companies in Omaha through the
operation Of the s o'clock closing law, ac-
cording to the statements of officials Of
these companies.
The Omaha Electric Light and Power
company figures a loss OF more than
SEQ, OOO, the Omaha Gas company figures
it's loss will be in excess of $4,000, and the
Omaha Water company's figures show that
it's receipts will drop off about 500 a day
or more than $500 for the year.
These m OF the three companies
are made from comparative figures for
the week the law has been in operation
and the same week in orner years.
In addition to these losses. the street
railway company believes It will suffer as
well by the operation OF the law, but Sec
rotary Lenssler said II would be impossible
TO make any estimate at this time. as bad
weather during tho week the law has
been enforced has naturally tended TO cut
down evening travel on the company's
cars. Weather would have no effect on

An official OF the company made the

his company would be considerably above

Rewards of an Author.
There is a discussion now going on over
the proposed change OF the method OF
bringing out cheap editions of popular
books, and It led Mr.. Hawkins to speak Of
the rewards OF authors. He said:
"At present the 7-penny edition Is
brought out two years after the first
editions, the usual s-shilIing kind, and the
publishers want to make the interval
longer, five years. II is certainly very
complimentary of them to insinuate that
our books may keep in favor that long,
but we authors are, perhaps, more modest
or more prophetic. At any rate, l think
the two-year limit would suit the majority.
as Il does now.
ITO suggest that anybody might want
one of our books enough to buy II after
an interval Of five yards seems almost
like setting out to write for Immortality,
does it not? Do you think anybody ever
did that. by the way7
The question is often asked and the
assertion made that authors do not write
now as they did In the older times for
posterity. / doubt II they ever did. DR..

tical mind, who was . modern Of the mod

ment that the capital Of American wealth
and energy should not be better provided
with parks like that OF Bedford Square
London in this respect being especially rich.
Il was talking with a nice chap last week
who had just sailed over London in q bal

not far, you know; and at that height he
said London looked like a great, green park.

really opens your eyes to the fact that
there is a tremendous lot of space given
up to these enclosures. / suppose Wou will
have them some day, for no city can be
really beautiful without but It will be a

The reference to New York recalls the
fact that Mr.. Hawkins has not been a
recent visitor.

called in London. Il wonder why thsy do

II Is during the thoughtful moment that
you get your first critical glance at your
host. He has an admirable background OF
fine old prints and mahogany and fits into
the picture well. He is a little older than
the Anthony Hope who found the romantic
kingdom Of zenda and peopled It with de-
lightful "amslgams," as ne calls his char
aoters now.
He 10 a little more difficult to please,
perhaps. than the diarist who found among
the charming women OF his acquaintance
the composite Dolly. But experience. like
destiny, has shaped with clean-cut strokes,
and the effect is an interesting face, classi-
fled without a moments hesitation among
the intellectuals.
h He Looks Like.
He has the nice, slouchy look Of the
Englishman who, no matter how busy he
may be, gives the impression OF unlimited
leisure, for the law Of social London de-
mands that you must act the hare and look
the tortoise. There are certain peculiarities
OF dress which are characteristics, the cof-
fee-coiOred waistcoat. the loose b~ow-shAped
tie and the high collar with a broad gap
IN front, which has from time immemorial
appealed tremendously TO literary workers.
Mr.. HAWkdns admits that he tries to keep
In close touch with matters on the other
SIDE OF the ocean and sees every year a de,
cided change In the reciprocal relations.

and celebrity that the literary traffic laws
OF the Brltish empire demand.
You sink Into the eapacious depths OF a
big leather chair the color OF q book worm
as your question concerning the book Is
being answered. There Is a sparkle in the
blue-gray eyes OF Mr.. Hawkins as he refers
to his new novel, which promises q sur
prise at least. and he cheers you with the
Information that he is not going to try to
dramatlze It as he does not believe in the
dramAtlxed novel.
The groove in which the mind OF the
writer Of novels moves is not the same as
that used by the dramatic author says
Mr.. Hawkins. "Of course all authors
would like to write plays, would they not.
but only a-fsw succeed, and Il Is always
q surprise to the rest when this success is
accomplished.

HUG0-HATHAWAY.

Aurora (Indiana) Independent.-At
twelve clock, Wednesday, November
IT, 1909, at the residence of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. W. III. Hathaway, on
Fourth street, Miss Grace Smith Hath
away was married to Mr.. Herman Hugo,
of Honolulu, Hawaii.
The home, decorated with a profus-
ion of bride roses and yellow chrysan
themums, made charming background
for the ceremony.
just before noon the brides cousin,
Miss Gussie Williams, of Winton Place,
sang 81 Love You Truly Then, as
the music changed to the beautiful
measures of Lohengrin, the bride and
groom came down the stairs and enter
ed the parlors, preceded by Louise Hill
and little Elizabeth Kerr, who strewed
roses in the way.
The marriage service was read by the
Rev Mr. CrosIey, Universalist minister,
from Indianapolis. A pretty feature
was the exchange of rings by the bride
and groom.
The bride, who is perfect blonde,
looked exquisitely sweet in very beau
| tiful gown of white crepe de chine, and
| she carried a shower bouquet of lilies
of the valley and bride roses.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. Hugo held an informal
reception.
Mr. and Mrs. Hugo left at 4:45 over
! the B. G. 0. They will spend several
weeks in Colorado before going to Ho-
nolulu, their future home.
Never has bride gone from Aurora
who has carried with l>r the love of a
larger number of friends. She has
lived here all here life, and by her
sweet friendliness has endeared herself
to all classes.
Mr.. Hugo has been connected for
many years with the firm of H. Hack
| field e. Co.. sugar factors, Hawaiian
Islands, and, though he came here a
stranger, he has made for himself many
| friends.

SHOOK THE COUNTRY
FOR MILES AROUND.
Explosion of Several Tons of Dynamite
at Powder Works.

Newark, n. J., Jan. 20.-Four men
were killed and ten others injured, one
fatally, when several tons of dynamite
in one of the buildings of the Forcite
Powder works at Lake HOpatcong blew
up late today. The detonation of the
huge mass Of explosive shook the
country for miles around and blew the
building containing it to atoms. OF
the fourteen men working in it not one
escaped death or injury.
The explosion occurred in one
story frame building where sticks of
dynamite are stored. While it proba-
bly, never will be definitely known
what caused it, it is presumed that one
of the sticks of dynamite piled in the
structure was Jared from its resting
place and exploded, decorating the
whole mass. There were three or four
tons Of dynamite in the building and
the force Of the explosion was terrific.
The bodies of the men killed were, mu-
tilated beyond recognition. Several of
the other workers in the buildings
were blown considerable distances and
it is considered remarkable that only
one of them, James Boyle, received
fatal injuries.
There was some delay in getting as
sistance to the injured, as it was fear
ed that others of the buildings at the
works might blow up. When it was
seen that the danger was over, those
on the scene hurried to the relief of
the living victims. physicians hastily
summoned treated the injured. who
were removed as fast as possible to the
company's offices.
The F'orcite Powder works belongs
to the Dupont Powder company and
manufactures blasting dynamite.

GEORGIA COUNTY CLAIMS
TAFT AS HER OWN.
Taft Augusta Day Festivities-Nisht
Banquet at Hotel Terrace.

Augusta, Ca, Jan. 20.-Richmond
county, Georgia. modestly stepped un-
der the spotlight today and proclaim
ed William II. Taft as her own-that
he was a resident of Augusta when the
presidential electors in the various
states declared him to be the presi-
dent elect; that as such he was a
Georgian by birth and had lived
where he was born all of his presiden-
tial lie.
Thousands of Augdstans clinched the
claim with a shout of approval, which
was echoed again and again as Major
j. c. c. Black said many other comph-
mentary things about Mr.. Taft in pre-
senting him to the big mass meeting
which had assembled around the same
stand from which President Mckinley
spoke more than ten years ago. The
streets. the windows and the adjacent
roofs were full of people. and when the
distinguished visitor told them how he
liked Augusta and pledged himself to
come again, all hearts were as CHEEKY
and faces as radiant as the warm aft
ernoon sun and mellow southern air.
The big street meeting, preceded as
it was by concert by the Fourteenth
Artillery band from Fort Scriven, was
by no means the extent of the Taft
Augusta day festivities. There was a
banquet tonight at The Terrace, the
hotel just across the Savannah river
where were brought together the dis
tinguished men of Georgia and South
Carolina and once again the soIidity
of the south's hospitality was demon
strated.

MARY GARDEN RESIGNS
As Member of Hammerstein's Manhat-

New York, Jan. 20.-Rather than
have another artist assume an operatic
role which she made famous in this
country Notwithstanding that artist
previously appeared in the part abroad
Mary Garden, the American prima
donna, resigned today as a member
Of Osca" Hanmersteins Manhattan
Grand Opera company. The announc-
ed future appearance of Nine. Cava-
lieri, an Italian singer, in Miss Gar
denis pet part-Thais-was the cause
of the trouble. Mr.. Hammerstein did
not Immediately accept the resignation
Of Miss Garden. Instead, he issued a
statement saying: IF the occurrence
has caused her anguish, 1 deem it my
duty to remove the cause" This
phrase has lent hope to Miss Gardens
friends that the matter will be AMIGA
bly, settled, and that Miss Garden will
soon be seen at the Manhattan in
"Salome," for which she has been cast
and for which great preparations have
been made. Miss Gardens letter fol-

that you were to engage Nine. Cava-

the day this announcement was adver-
tised in the newspapers I would leave
the Manhattan Opera house. This
morning the published announcement
appeared, and accordingly / hereby
send you my resignation"
New York, Jan. 20.--Late tonight
Mr.. Hammerstein withdrew the adver-
tisement announcing that Nine. Cava-
lieri would appear at the Manhattan
Opera house a week from Saturday in
That's. No statement could be obtain
ed from Miss Garden as to whether
the concession by Mr.. Hammerstein
would cause her to withdraw her res
