The Iilno of
Thirty-one years have elapsed since the
llrst Catholic bishop crime to Omaha. There
was little m the city at the tlmo to encourage
the missionary. The territory was sparsely
settled , and , while a fair proportion ot the
hardy pioneers were of the Catholic faith ,
- there wsro still too few of thorn to justify the
erection of a dloccso and the appointment of
n vicar apostolic to prcsldo over It.
Nevertheless a sainted monk from
the Tiapplst monastery nt Dubuque
was drawn from his cell nt Mt. Molloniy to
assume the duties of the position. He was
consecrated bishop on May 10,1SSO. soon after-
words coming here and announcing himself
as Bishop O'Gormou. The naino still lingers
gratefully In many cars and the recollection
of the gentleman's devotion and sanctity are
tbo possession of many n Catholic heart.
These were not the dAys of ooautlful
churches , palatial edifices and Inspiring cere
monial. The poor vicar apostolic oamo unher
alded among strangers and took up residence
in a white house then located on the corner
of Hanioy and Eighth streets , which had
been surrendered to him by Thomas O'Con
nor , still of this city.
Omaha was dead. The Plko Peak oxcl'-o-
Bient had drawn numbers of her resolute
pioneers from her. Ttioso who remained
\voro stranded because of tno wild-cat bank
panto which characterized 1857. Yet they
were rich In land , nnd of this they offered
the apostollo missionary slxly-ttireo lots It
bo would remain la Omaha and build u
cathedral.
The poor bishop smiled. Ho had no money
with which to build a pluo shanty , much less
a cathedral , and a cathedral upon the sandy
and grass-grown streets of Omaha would
bavo been as appropriate as wuuld have
been the Allmuibra. The tender of land
was declined but the bishop remained.
Gradually the Pike's Penkers returned , the
panic subsided , immigration turned toward
the west and Omaha derived signal advan
tages from all those features.
In course of tlino , the only Catholto church
> wln the state , a lllt\c \ brick ' ntructuro which
v occupied the brow of a hill ou Eighth street
near Harnoy which has slnco disappeared ,
was abandoned and the present cathedral
erected. With tbo growth of the city and
ntato , the church also grow , the bishop
endearing himself to members of other denominations -
. . , nominations as well as these of his own.
- * - - FInallycamo the tlmo for the good.old man to
go to his reward. The summons ciimo suddenly
nnd almost unexpectedly on the Fourth of
July , 1S7J. "A number of the members of his
cathedral parish were ehjoylnc tticmsolvcs
at n picniu at Bellevue whim the uows ot the
bishop's death touched them.
The festivity was abandoned and tno par
ticipants returned immediately to the city.
A few days later the remains of the prelate
wore laid away beneath the marble nltar
at the cathedral ho had built , at which today
bl successor will bo Installed.
- , When Bishop O'Gormon assumed control
of affairs , his territory Included Nebraska ,
Wyoming , Montana , Idaho and Dakota.
It was to thU territory that Bishop O'Con
nor was , In 187(1 ( , appointed. It was , how
ever , later reduced boeauso uo living man
could hope to travel over it regularly nnd
survive the ordeal. Bishop Marty assumed
control of Dakota , Bishop Burke of Wyom
ing , a con pie of other bishops ot Montana and
Idaho , while Bishop Bonacuui was appointed
< to tlio part of the state of Nebraska lying
south of the Platte river. The only terrftory
therefore which remained for the last years
- ot Bishop O'Connor's lifo was that lying
north of the Platte river.
Of the work accomplished by that deceased
prelate TIIR BEK has already spoken fre
quently. It is still iresh In the memory of
every resident The uninformed , however ,
have but to look about them for evidence of
the faithful stewardship of these good pro-
lutes.
Bishop Scnnncll has had pious and success
ful exemplars , though they Imvo not accom
plished all they had set out to do. SufUclnnt
yet rumulus to odd lustro to the reputation
Which ho lias already achieved.
Tlio Vlonr General.
Rov. Father Choka , pastor of St. Wencos-
lauschurch , slnco the retirement from the
etato of Kov. H. A. Shaffol , S. J. , has acted
as vicar general and slnco the death ot
Bishop O'Connor as administrator of
the dioccs. Ho bos dorotod himself
to " the duties of his ofUco with
great assiduity , readily adapting hlmsolf to
the occasions which have required tbo exor
cise of varied ability. Ho has made friends
among the clergy and , being a linguist , has
boon nblo readily to understand the needs of
the church , which comprises German , Boho-
nnan , Italian and Polish ns well as English ,
' Irish and American worshipers.

too much pain , apparently , to toll mo
what ho hnd been eating.
"When Dr. Woisigor came ho looked
at my 'cholera patient.1 'This is what
you call cholera is itV ho asked inn tone
of sarcasm. 'Horo , ' ho added , 'got mo
an emetic. ' This was produced and the
dose givan to Bob.
" 'Now , ' said Dr. Woisigor , as Bob be
gan to vomit what appeared to bo largo
chunks of fat , 'there s your Asiatic chol
era. The real matter with that niggor
is 'possum ; yes , bir , 'possum. '
"It was really so. Old Bob had oaten
a whole 'possum that morning , and his
sickness was the natural result of his
gluttony. The thing that puzzled mo
though , was how did Dr. Woisigor over
over-discover that fact. I found out af
terward that is. after I had bedn guyed
almost to death by all of my medical
friends.
"Dr. Woisigor had seen old Bob walkIng -

Tno Mtioli Kindness.
A'canny Scotchman who keeps a llttlo
shpp for the sale of Ills national pro
ducts , wet and dry. tolls a good ono on
himself , says the Now York Herald.
His place is a sort of headquarters for
the ollicors of the Slate and National
line steamships when they are in port ,
nnd they often bring their follow
countrymen here for an hour's chat in
the little basement ofllco , with thodum b
waiter running handily up to til lace
where they brow hot water and mo n
pool.Ono
Ono day a raw specimen wa o of
the guests. Ho had just como ovnd
ho was delighted to find that real Scotch
groceries could begot in a foreign place :
IIo was not used to the American style
of treating , and when the proprietor
passed a box of cigars to him ho thnnkcd
him politely and declined.
"Go on , " said the proprietor encour
agingly , "help yourself. It won't cost
you a penny. "
"Not at all. mon. It's the custom of
the country. "
"Woll , well , who'd a thought it ? This
is too much kindness. "
And the big hand of the stranger
closed around half the cigars in the box.
As the bunch wont into his pocket a
laugh wont up from the steamship
olllcors. The proprietor acknowledged
that the drinks wcro on him , nnd the
innocent stranger wont away with a
very high regard for a country so lilled
with kindness.

KNOWN 1JY XH&IIl TICKS.
Character Rending Through Many
Miles nl'-IntorvonlnK Wire.
The telegraph operators of this oity
nro noted the world over as exports , says
the Philadelphia Jtecord. Not only nro
they masters of their art as a class , but
many of them have developed the won
derful facutly of reading character by
the sharp ticks that emanate from the
little brass instruments. For instance ,
any old-time operator who ranks as a
first-rater can toll by the tick of the ma
chine in Philadelphia what manner of
man is at the other end of the wire , no
mutter whether ho bo in Chicago , Now
York , or any other distant city. Jusc as
bankcashiors recognize the signatures
of old customers , so do telegraphers
identify friends by their "sending" or
writing.
The fastjorky sender who stops every
few minutes to tighten the screw or loosen
en that spring , or to talk with his desk
mate , easily tells the receiver that ho is
a nervous , irresponsible young man of
little experience nnd loss judgment ; ho
warns the receiver to bo on constant
watch for errors for which ho will shirk
any responsibility. "Without having do-
Unite reason to say so the receiver will
not hesitate to assort that such a sender
would lie himself out of any dillioulty
that might arise.
The fearless , manly telegrapher is the
man who sends even , woll-spacctl Morse ,
fast .of course , but , steady withal , and
sends "all the time. " This man seldom
has "cases. " IIo Impresses the receiver
at once that ho is invariably correct.
Ho never stops for bad copy , because -
cause ho always roads 11 message ahead
of the ono ho is sending , and returns any
ho cannot decipher to the clerks before
starting it. This sort of man has a
friend in every olllco. AH the students
and operators in way stations know him.
They recognize his sending nnd appeal
to him as would a qhild to an older
brother. This man's character is well
Known to every ono with whom ho
works.
The sneak is quickly discovered and
promptly "roasted. " IIo sends slowly ,
and with an aggravating drag. Ifo never
swears on the wire , which , by the
way , is certain to bo rewarded by
dismissal if reported , although a
majority of operators are more or less
profano. While this man may not have
boon in the business nt the tlmo of any
strike , ho is certain to bo called n
"scab" by all the out-of-town mon with
whom ho has frequent spats.
Practical jokers and witty mon are
generally indifferent operators , but
usually have a reputation , reaching
from San Francisco to Boston , which
always secures thorn work at good
salaries. Their characteristics are denoted -
noted by the small amount of business
they handle , notwithstanding the foot
that they boom to work every minuto.
They make all sorts of blunders and
worry the receiver lck , depending
upon their good humor nnd now stories
to square matters.
Dude oporators.liko their funny breth
ren , are poor artists , but they are not
fortunate in the of "
way acquiring "repu
tations. " They never need toll the ro-
colvor that they love drosj and think of
little else. Tholr frequent Btopa nnd
silly chatter * between messaged toll It

THE MORSE DRY GOODS COMPANY ,
for them. After six months' working
with an operator of this sort the rocolv-
or could describe him almost to a posi
tive exactness without over having soon
him or hoard him dosaribad.
Surly , morose , and tramp operators
are alike as to ability. They are all line
telegraphers. Tholr characters are well
defined by silence , and they are distin
guished ono from the ether by bits of in
formation regarding ether cltiosdropped
from day to day by the tramps. They
toll tholr story when they correct errors
discovered in the addresses of messages
relayed from ono city to another , and by
suggesting sonio word to tnko the plnoo
of ono badly written by some newspaper
man whoso "copy" they had "handled. "
Lady operators are identified by the
lightness of tholr bending , few of them
being able to work on long-dihlanco
wires. On this account "Clara" is a
favorlto name for light minden * of either
sex , and their character as well as their
sox is rovcalod by tholr o&p.Htnnt anxi
ety and ovor-fuithfulnoss , aswell as by
their disposition to talk.
Few people understand why tolograp-
ors ube so much and such a variety of
slang. This is easily accounted for. The
mon in Now York and San Francisco
communicate all the latest phnuos to
Chicago , from which point Galveston ,
Denver , Now Orleans and Ogden receive
the "now talk , " and the forces at Phila
delphia , Plttsburg , Ulohmond and Bos
ton acquire their stock from Now York.
In tills way u bright saying hoard by an
operator in Now York is repeated tlio
world ever the aamo day , as the cublo
operators nro qulto as slangy ns the rest
of the craft.
Agricultural N.tes.
There seems to bo a docldod reversion
of fooling against the practice that lmn
BO long obtained of brooding immature
sows. Ono point in favor of brooding
old sows is .that If properly cared for
they will bring forth two good liltors a
year.
It is always profitable for the farmer
to have a good llock of fowls on the
place , but with these , just as with any
other live stock , it is the bout sort that
pays best. Blooded fowls und blooded
cattle are all in the sarao line , and ono
will pay as well In proportion for the in-
croasou cost as the othor.
The Rdrnl Now Yorker method of potato
tate culture deep planting , with subse
quent level culture him boon tried in
Alabama'with the result of obtaining
yields averaging 33 percent higher than
from ether mntnods. The hilling up of
polatoos iti without SOIIHO or reason , and
the practice should bo allowed to fall
rapidly into disus. ? .

require rather moro care than hens. A'B
