DEATH CALLSACENTENARIAN
Gabina shally, Oldest Omaha Woman,
Dies in Convent.
BORN IN NORTHERN IRELAND
known 10 Have Lived in Omaha Last
Two Decades-Many Circum-
stances of Her Life Not Dis
covered by Nuns.

Sabina ShaHy, the oldest woman in
Omaha, died yesterday at tho convent OF
tho Good Shepherd. She was at least 100
years old when death claimed her.
Her exact age is uncertain, as well as
many OF the circumstances Of her life. But
that she was a centenarian Is pretty well
established. Miss Shally has no known rel
atives surviving her. She came to Omaha
twenty years ago and lived with family
whose name has been forgotten by resi-
dents OF the rconvent, and with this family
lived as a sort OF dependent, half member
of the family; half domestic, in spite Of the
fact that she was so years OF age. To the
convent she came, a little bowed figure
OF wrlrikled vlsage, four years ago.
Scraps OF Information regarding the old
woman were gathered by the nuns at odd
times. They learned from her that she was
born in Ulster county, Ireland. In the parish
of Milaugh, and that she had been SER
want in the home of Bishop Carr OF Aus
tralia when that prelate was born In
Ireland. slnce Bishop Carr is now an old
man, about 50, and Miss Shally said she
was a girl of p when he saw the light,
the age OF Miss Shally is thereby estab-
lished as little over 100 years at the time
OF her death. .

Miss Shally's last years were such as are
characteristic OF the very aged. She was
only slightly deaf and her sight was moi
seriously impaired. Occasional periods Of
childishness and gradually increasing feeble
ness OF body marked her senility
But she was far from being dementet
and she retained until the end lively inter

Council passed an ordinance providing

Revised Council Committees.
President Brucker rendered a revised list
Of council committees, as noted in The
Bee. putting Schroeder on the judiciary,
making Kugel chairman OF paving and
sewerage committee and Davis chairman
Of sidewalks and crosswalks.
Councilmen Bridges protested that the
chairman had no right to change the COM
mittees after their first presentation to
council. He called for an opinion from
the city attorney on the matter, but on mo-
ton of Burmester the council confirmed
the rearranged committees, Bridges alone
voting no.
The council sustained a veto from the
mayor of the occupation tax on bill post
ing companies. The mayor says the ordi-
nance is faulty and a new one must be
passed, which he will sign.
City Attorney Burnam reported, in re-
Spouse to request from the council that
there is no way to make available the
S,OOO,VOO or WaterWOrks pOnds voted In
March, 1900
The city attorney also notified the coun-
cit that the police department is not en-
titel to any OF the money received
from pawnbrokers and junk dealers for
licenses. The city attorney also holds that,
as the building inspector is Of the opinion

the city will be inviting a lawsuit to con-
denim the building and order II torn down.
A permit will be issued for the necessary

Question of Water Purity.
City Bacteriologist Langfeld reported
that the water now being furnished is not
up to the standard required by the Berlsa
ordinance. The committee OF the whole

bring the water up to standard.
Councilman McGovern introduced a res
olutlon. which was referred to the park
board, directing Rome Miller to trim the
trees on his property on the boulevard 50
that vehicles can drive under them. Every
body laughed, and President Bergman of
the Park board looked surprised and doubt
full.
The council by resolution ratified the
action Of Treasurer Furay in awarding to
Connor & Kahler Of New York $4,000 of
park bonds.

Will BUILD A GYM
School Board Plans
to Construct an Athlet-
ic hall Before the New
School Year Begins.

II 10 now the hope Of the school
ooara 20 buy the proposed high schoo
site this year and to construct a neat

thereon this fall.
Inc reasons suggested for doins
TINS are these. The present school
ouiiding was not large enough this
last year. One grade had to be housed

mcre students for the year 1901.
ana 1t would be necessary to rent
roohs for twt grades probably. The
district Is not financially ready to
construct the high school building
this season and besides the high
school building it DIES want a school
gymnasium and auditorium.
A site for the new school grounds
eau be purchased now as cheap II
not cheaper than it can be year from
now. The board figures that it may
buy the site and construct the GYM
nasium and auditorium this year. The
building can be then used the coming
year to house one or two of the grades
and then when the new high school
building Is constructed it will be turn
ed over FOR the use for which it is in
tended.
No definate selection of the site
has been made. but there has been
some talk that a block will be pur-
chased not far from the present school
site.

just as good time as she knows how
II we fail to do anything that shOult

Tribune can assure you that. The plai
is to make it day of pleasure from
start to finish.
There will be among you those who
enjoy most to listening to speaking
or music, and many others who don,
care a snap of their finger for such
things but do like baseball games and
races and jumping contests. There vii

ed. They want to laugh.
Well we have tried IT, arrange the
Lynden program so that you will al
have what you want.
First there will be music-a con-
cert at $780, Then will come the par
ade. A parade has several objects. II
is first OF all show. 1t is also IN
advertisement for those who have
.loats. Thu it is designed to induce
you to walk over some of our streets
and to see some of our pretty homes
and gardens. Besides these 1t Is fun
~. There will be q lot of clowns In
the parade.
Following the parade comes the pro
gram at the park, where besides some
singing and other music you will be
treated to an address by one of the
abelist speakers in Whatcom county.
Judge Kellogg, of our superior court
He is an educated man and thinker
and he is well worth hearing.
Following the morning program
comes the Evers0n-Lynden ball game
Everson has q strong team. Once this
season it defeated Lynden in one OF
ne closest games played In the c0un-
ty this year. A lirtle over . week
ago the Lynden team defeated It BY
l score OF to 3, not much to brag
1f there you will notice. This game
will decide which team is the best.
and which ever way II goos
the other team has nothing to b y
.hamed OF. Frankly II Lynden has to
be beaten we hope 1t will be Nook
sack valley team that does 1t.
Next on the program is the basket
lunch. Everybody will eonjoy that
part of the program, the Tribune 10

ions Of the writer Is of basket lunch
in the shade of a wooden building. at
a Fourth of July celebration back In

there In those Gays for US to get
the shade of, but We we're Of the age
