[ Special Telegram lo Tun Hnr. . ] Tim taking of testimony in the election contest falls to attract any attention in Lincoln now. Today the session lasted only two hours and wai devoted exclusively to the gubernatorial contest. The taking of testimony nffccllng the other state offices has licon postponed until Friday of next week. The first witness examined today was A. N. "VVyckoff , chairman of the Lancaster county conunlttco of the third party. The only thing of Interest to which ho testified was that the committee had spent $100 for tickets In favor of the amendment , also for speakers and printing matter. The next witness was John Stewart of Kearney county and treasurer of the state non-part Isnn league. Ho most unwillingly testified as follows : There was altogether $1,051.21 raised for political purpoiea by the league , "Of this $1,000 was spoilt for prohibi tion literature , Including the Lincoln Call nnd Now Ucpubllc. About $100 went to the Bccrotary. The greater portion of the re mainder was paid out to speakers and their ftotcl and other bills , and the printing of tickets favoring the amendment. An even fcTiOO was given to the Swedish conference to work UP prohibition sentiment through a weekly publication. There are about eigh teen thousand Swcdo voters In the state , and two-thirds of them voted for prohibition. 3n Kearney , Phelps , Saundcrs , Hurt and Valley counties the Swedish vote was the strongest. L. S. Ellsworth , deputy clerk of the dis trict court , at Holdredgo , I'hclps county , was called In behalf of coutcstce. At the mvita"- tlon of Mr. Ilarwood witness produced the record of declarations of intention to bccotno citizens filed in I'hclps county within thirty days prior to the election. The Iht Included Just thirty names. Witness testified : "I don't know ns It was exactly as to how they intended to vote ; I had some conversation with most of them ; nt least thirty of them said they wore alliance men , nnd of course I understood by that that they intended to vote the alliance ticket. " "Tho alliance men generally out thcro voted the alliance ticket ? " "It looked that way from the last election ; vcs , sir. " John P.

James .1. Uhoaof lloldrcgo testified C. A. Larson who did not take out his declaratory papers until October ! i7. Larson voted for 1'owcrs. Thcro was a James A. Johnson No. 125. and a James A. Johnson No. 207 , appear on the poll list of Prairie town ship who voted ; I know of no such person in the township. I think the fact is that one of them Is .1 nines P , Johnson and that the clerks have got tlio given name wrong ; ho took out his declaratory papers October - . John A. Nelson , No. 201 , voted in Prairie township ; ho told mo ho voted the Independent ticket nnd ho has no papers , ho is a native of Sweden ; nt least I can find uo papers from an examination of the records. lie claimed to mo that ho had taken out his 11 rat papers before the county Judge of Phelps county , but there Is norocord of the same in the clerk's oflico of that coilnty that I can find. August Bcrgstrom , number 237 , told mo ho voted the independent ticket ; that he had no papcrf , nnd that ho Is a native of Sweden , K. T. Iloln voted in Prairie township , number 2S3 ; ho voted the Independent ticket as I understand ; ho is not n rest dent of Phelps county. Ha came thcro Octo her 18 nnd registered nt the Ailinerton hotel , and registered at the same hotel a great many days thereafter as E. T. Hoin , Ilast- Ing , Nob. One E. J. Page voted In Prairie township , number 824 ; ho was u resident of Prairie township up to about a week before the election , when ho removed with his fam ily to Garlleld township ; ho was In Holdreco on the day of election ; I had n conversation with htm anil ho said that ho wanted to vote the independent ticket , und told mo the cir cumstances us to his removal and usked mo if ho could voto. I told him I thought not , nnd it must hnvo been shortly after this con versation that he voted. The witness then testified that P. E. Nel son , W. W. Johnson , S. A. Swnnson and Lars Peterson , who took out their declara tory papers too late , voted nevertheless in Holdrego. A. U. Hill , who is only twenty years old , also voted. H. E.

The com- nittco on privileges and elections had > ecn referred to in language of discourtesy. Almost every senator on the other sldo had undo harsh and bitter reference to Senator iloar. Mr. Spooner highly eulogized Mr. : ioar and defended John I. Davenport from .ho attacks made upon him. Mr. Spooner .hen nrueccdcd to discuss and aofend the do- alls of the pending measure. A good denl mil been said In connection with what was called "domiciliary visits , " but nothing had been said of the domlcllinrv visits of night iders at the south , the shooting of men and .ho whipping of women. It had been said on the other side that the hill was aimed at the south. It was , in part. It was aimed at jyi'ry spot in the United States where , by Yahil or force , inen who hnd a right to vole "or members of congress were cheated out of that right. The south , ho thought , was where the bill was specially needed. In > rnof ho read extracts from a speech by Jeleirnto Chrisinan in the late constitutional convention of Mississippi , declaring that iinco lijiTi thcro had not been a fair election n that state ; that in plain words they ( the whites ) had been stuftlng the ballot boxes , committing perjury and carrying elections by 'raud and violence. Ho als > o read the qualm- cations' for voters in the constitution of Mississippi , among others being the ability of a voter ( after January , 180J. ) to read or to give a reasonable explanation of the meaning of any clause of ; ho constitution of the state. If iho constitu tion of Mississippi had stopped nt the educa tional test and excluded from the right of suilrago every whlto or black who could not read that instrument nobody would complain of It. Iut ! now the Ignorant white voter night have the simplest clause road to him to be asked if ho understood it , and , answering yes. might bo permitted to vote , while an ob- stiuso clause ( ns to the right of eminent do main or some technical question ) might" bo read to thu colored voter , who would bo asked to give a reasonable explanation of it. Tbo scheme was plainly devised to let the 'ignor ' ant white man vote if ho voted the democratic ticket and to keen the ignorant black man from voting unless ho voted that ticket. And yet the democratic sena tors railed against the pending measure as giving a supervisor lordly pow ers. This constitution of Mississippi had been adopted , too , not by a vote of the people ple , but by the convention Itself. Southern men ought not to fold their arms and say they would keep their Increased representa tion while suppressing the negro \oto. It had been sahl on the ether side that the negro should never have had the right to vote , but It was too Into now to argue that question. The right had been given him , whether in wisdom or unwisdom , and could uot bo taken from him. Referring to Air. Slow-art's ' speech yesterday and his remark that the elections law could not bo enforced hi the south because public opinion would not sup port it , Mr. Spooner said : "Havo wo fallen in u condition In our country that calls for the preservation by law of the purity of the ballot at the nortn , but that wo must stop at Mason Dixon's line because aim public opin ion in the south is in favor of dishonest and fraudulent and violent suppression of suff rage I I cannot believe It. " Mr. Spooner spoke over live hours and his speech was lis tened to with marked attention on both sides of the chamber. Mr. Ingalls said it was the conviction of the crrcat mass of the pcoplo of the north that the constitutional convention of Mississippi assembled for the avowed purpose of disfran- cnlslnga majority of Us citizens , who were also citizens of the United States. It had been assembled for the express purpose of nullifying , defeating and overthrowing amendments to the constitution of the United States , by agreeing to which the state of Mis sissippi had secured ro-admisslon into the union and the southern people had retained representation In the house of representatives and In the electoral college while they suppressed the colored vote , They had retained representa tion which hail given them lor fourteen years supremacy in the house und onro placed in the presidential chair a man wno never had been elected to tiat ) oftlco in any Just sense. Contrary to the usual course pursued In free communities the results of the Mississippi convention would not bo submitted to the people to bo voted upon. It had been ar ranged to Imvo it declared the organic luwof the state without any action on too part of the voters. Mr. Udmunds added that the convention came Into existence by methods entirely out side of the constitution of the state , which provided u particular way for its own amend incut. The conference report on the bill for a pub- llo building at Kansas City was agreed to and the socato adjourned. House. WASHINGTONDoc. . 20. In the house today a number of conference reports on public building bills were presented. The sennto bill passed for the relief of S. H.

A motion to adjourn , , made by Mr. Stonoof Kentucky , was lost. The house went Into committee of the whole on the urgent dellclency bill with the senate amendments. Mr. Henderson moved concurrence except In the amendment providing for the payment of the senate session employes , Including clerks to wmitois , After a long debate the motion was agree * to , the bill returned to the stnnto and the house ailjournud.

BTRICIST OAH SI3UV1CK. A If nnscom Place llcxitlont Speaks IllH Mi ml on tlio Sulijoot. The proposition of Superintendent Smith of the street railway company to run every other train on the North Twenty-fourth street line to the northeast corncrof Ilanscoia park does not seem to bo extremely popular with the people living along Park avenue and the streets cast of the park. A prominent citizen who resides on Park avenue , in speaking upon this subject last night , said : "Tho advent of the motor line was hailed with Joy , as It furnished rapid transit and good accommodations , and as long ns the cars were run down to the old horse car turn table there was no cause for complaint. ' 'Tho other day the now Pnclllc line WAI opened. This line was mode the new line and for the convenience of the Miburbiin residents who live in a sparsely settled portion tion of the Jclty the main line was run out on Pacillc street and then south to the south west , corncrof the park. That portion of the line on Pnrn avenue , from Pacific street south , was practically abandoned , as only ono car was put on and that , to run upon a cntch-as-cntch-can plnti. Sometimes wo will miss the car by a few blocks and again wo will wait live and ten minutes for a car to arrive. "You may think this Is nil talk , but yester day afternoon I watched the cars and by actual count three-fourths of the pt-oplo who went out ontholfcavenwoitb streetcars got off at Pacific street and went south on that street. It [ 3 the same way coming Into iho city."I "I sco by Tun Ben that the company pro poses to alternate and give us the stub unit half of the trains. This will not woru In my Judgment. ' 1 understand that the company intends to spring an other proposition In a day or two. 'lids is to run cast Irom Park nvcnuo on Woolworth and then southou Georcrinavenue. If these people over attempt this you will hear agreathowlgo unalong the enti'ro street. At the present time Georgia avenue Is the only atrcot in the city where driving is a pleasure , and the people do not propose to have the new pavement torn up. "This extension io which I refer adds nearly a mile to the distancti , but still the time is the same , and you will see that In order for tr.ilnsi to bo kept on time they must run at least twelve miles per hour. At this rate of speed the conductors cannot glvo pas sengers tiiiio to get on and oil the trains. Every day thi'ro nro many narrow escapes , and unless this thing is stopped there may bo a tcrrlblo accident some day. " J'EIlSVX.lf , I'A Jt.t ti It.l I'llH. John B.

BIERSTADT TALKS ON ART , An Interesting Interview "With the Ool Iratcd Now York Painter , HOW TO JUDGE OF AN ARTIST'S WORK. _ _ _ _ Ttio Time , Ijnlmr and Study Involved liitlio 1'rnilttctioii of a Orunt 1'lutnro Knlnollilng About Mr. Blerstndt , the eminent artist of New York , spent several hours at the Om.iha art exhibition yesterday afternoon In ( julet con- versutlon with these who were lucky enough to sccuro nn Introduction. Tounyono Inter ested in art a conversation with Mr. Illor- stndt Is n golden opportunity. Ho Is entirely free from egotism , and yet ho converses freely and affably upon any topic that ni.iy . bo most Interesting to these with whom ho Is talking , deftly turning the drift of thought now and then so as to rollovo the monotony nnd touch as many important points In art as possible in a brief chat. \Vhllo In conversation yesterday afternoon with n HIK reporter , Mr lllorstadt was asked about bis suberb painting , "Tho Moon light Moose lluntcr , " "Yes , sir ; I'vUItodtho liaunlt of tlio moo o a great many times before I undertook to paint that picture. " snld the nrtUt. "I se lected as the secno for that , plcturo the edge of a Inko in northern Maine. I went with tlio hunters and uiado a study of the weird effects of moonlight , camp llro and nil as you sco it in that painting. It Is a study from actual observation , oven to Iho approaching moose , Tbo Indians in that icglon have n custom of railing thomoo < o up to close range. They take n piece of bark and twist It Into n small tube with n depression In tbo end of It. With this they 0.111 nmko a noise exactly like that produced by moose. I hive the moose now In my studio In Isoiv York that , was shot diirlne one of my trips to the hunting grounds of noituorn Maine. " "Do you Hnd that instantaneous photo graphs nro of much assistiuco to you in the study ot animals ) " "But very little. It is a singular thing , but true , nevertheless , that the instantaneous photograph falls to glvo in the expression wo need In a pictuie. The attitudes caught by instantntuous photographing arc doubtless perfect so fnr as exactness is concerned , but they boom to bo unn.itural. The iviison of this b Unit \vo have become accustomed to slightoxiiL'goratloiiH In painting ! . , which ex press action or life just aso have In literntmo or In awcll written article In the newspaper.

" "Do aitlsts over reach the point \\hero they ceasoto depend upon a model I" "One may bo so perfectly familiar with all the bones mid muscles in tbo human body , for Instance , that ho could luintn perfect ilguro in almost any attitude without the aid of a model , but such a thing Isseldom attempted. " "Could you suggest away by which people who nro not familiar with art , and who have uot the time to study it thoroughly , may bo enabled to Judge a piece of work when they sco It and really know thcdiileronco between flno work and that which has only reached tliOHrndoof mediocrity I" 'ThereU no standard by which to judge n picture but nature itself. When you look ut V. a landscape , forhibtanco , aMc vnurgelf if that \ Is like tbo actual landscape pain ted by the great hand of nature , of which wo nro all but imperfect imitators. Is that tree you see there like the trco that grows and shakes its leaves in the sunlight and in the hreezos of autumn { Is tb.it portrait of your friend the counterpart of the man you know and with whom you have talked fnce to face 1 If your judgment is good ( mil jour eye well trained the answer to thq ciucstlons I have asked will cerUilaly determine the merits or demerits of the picture you are looking nt. Hut you should not make up your mind has lily. Look at the picture anil then go ana look at the original. Get into the habit of studying nature. It will make you a better man or a better woman. Look closely into tlio fnco of nature. Observe her changing moods and her varying countenance , Note the llg and shades nnd the delicacy of e IiiK to be found even in the most common places where you would least expect It. Study imturu and learn to make cnniful comparisons , that is the only safe guide in judging artistic work. " "Do you think there is as much Immorality i/ growing out of the pr.ictico of employing > C. nude models as the recent discussion of the matter in London and New York beams to in dicate ! " 'I have known but very llttlo wrong to come from UIP employment of nude models in the studio , You aiv nwiire , of course , that the feeling In this country about such things is very different from that in I'arU. I'eoplo In Now York dare not do what they can do In Paris without , provoking a solitary word of criticism. I would not advise , however , tlio employment of nude models in thu pres ence of a mixed class of ladles and gentlemen. I think there can bo no harm In the employment of the model If the alms nnd objects of tbo teacher and the pupils are perfectly pure and worthy. A person of base tendencies may bo led into vicious habits of thought by tbo presence of n nude model , but wo cannot glvo up perfect Idualb In the study of art simply because a few vicious people find temptations thcro for them. " "Is It an easy mutter to procure models In Now York I" "Yes , there nro hundreds of people who support themselves by posing , some ns head models , some for the arm , olliors for thu bust and still others for the entire physique. It is much moro difllcult to get men models to sit for women than to pet women to sit for men. I think nt present In Now York there are no mixed cl.issos studying nude models. k Wo have never had much of that sort of business in Now York. The sentiment is opposed to it , and I am glad that it is .so. " Mr. .1. N , II. 1'atrlck gave another dinner last night at his residence In the west end o ( _ the city in honor of Mr. lliorstadt.
