Mayor Bemis called tlio meeting to order. Ho stated that the meeting was ono for ac tion and not for idle words. Tlio object of the meeting , ho said , was to provide for the poor people of Omaha , many of whom -were without food and fuel a condition of bitter poverty which confronted every metropoli tan center of the United States. Omaha was better off than most cities , but never theless thcro was a vast amount of destitu tion in the community which needed prompt relief. Ho advocated prompt charity , fol lowed by the adoption of some plan for relief of the unemployed during the winter months to keep the wolves of famine from the doors of the deserving poor. If the people did not come to the rescue when the lives of impoverished citizens were in peril ho was willing to place his auto- Kraph on any city council measure passed /or relief , oven ifit was necessary to strain a point or tvo. Ho hoped , however , that the people of Omaha who wore blessed with homes and means would come to the front nnd adopt a systematic plan to sustain the destitute during the winter months. In order to nlvo everybody a chance ho fav ored a popular subscription to tide over the siilTororSi If necessary ho would favor throwing open the churches , city hall and the county building for the Eholtcrlcss nt night. The buildings were all well heated. He believed however , that as u result of the mooting , sufllcicnt sums could bo raised to obviate this necessity and ufTord immediate relief. Scut Checks of llocrot. r The mayor read letters from several citi zens who we're unable to attend the mass meeting , out were there in spirit , If not in person , as was evinced by the enclosure of checks. Among the responses were $100 from Frank K. Mcoros , $50 from George II. Boggs , $10 from Tom Foley , $10 from J. A. Crclghion and 103 frt > m the Printing Pressmen's union. Mayor Bemis concluded his remarks with an appeal for aid. Dr. Duryoa then recited experiences en countered in a personal Investigation of cases of poverty which exist in this city. He drew several pathetic pictures' from life nnd cited cases of gray-haired women and little children shivering without food or fuel , with the thermometer 21 ° below zero. Ho baid that there wcra too many theoretical philanthropists In Omaha who wcro over eager to ult upon a bench of Judgment dur ing this freezing weather and challenge the worthiness of unlortunato wajjo earners who wcro out of work. Not only this , but their skepticism had indirectly caused the wives nnd children of the unemployed to suffer. Ho sutil this was what caused poor people to bo bo sensitive , and as a result many half-fam ished people refused to make their wants known. I'rldo and poverty often went hand in hand. There wcro many cases of acute Buffering. Women overcome with the cries ' of thelr'shlvorlng children left their hovels of poverty and breasted the blasts of the Btorm last Tuesday to gather coal uffd wood inlbaskcts. The great need of the hour was fuel. Broad was cheaper. Both were needed , hut at this particular time coal was tlio cry. lie said that Tom Murray wao moro gen erous than ho was generally given credit for , as ho tjavo two wagon loads of real to relieve the distress Inst Tuesday. Dr. Duryea then reviewed the financial de pression throughout the country and said that labor was u greater sufferer than capi tal. Deserving worklngmcn who had al ways provided for their families In former years were out of employment and their families were on the verge of starvation and freezing. He concluded his eloquent plea for help by n recital of several instances of distress which ho had witnessed with his own o.vcs. Ho had been materially assisted in his canvass by the members of tlio Knights of Labor , who reported 3,800 uncrn. ployed men in Omaha. Kiicijrslod n Itcllrf Committee. , f I Dr. Ocorgo L. Miller favored the foima- tinn of a committee empowered to select a Mibcommlttco which would at once take sipps to form a central relief board to ills- ti Unite donations to the poor of Omaha irre spective of color or creed. Ho bellovod that n committee of relief compoaod of rep resentative citizens and responsible person ality would inspire the confidence of the people nnd would bo kept busy receiving contributions. The pooplu of Omaha were ready to respond , but there was no central oiKanUatlou to net at present. Dr. Miller rrltlciscd thu morbid sonaluUity of heads of families who would allow ihcir pride to prevent them from making tholr wants known Men were foolish to allow tlipjr wives and chllctron to suffer for lack of bread nnd fuel , when the generous nnd L'ltaritablo people of Omaha stood ready to Five them assistance.

"Lot the people of Omaha. lm > rpecllvci of religious denomina tion or politie.il 'alth , ago or color , liuvouu opportunity to help suffering humanity. " Immcillnto Action nnd IP I Tnlk. Mr. I2dward Hosawatcr followed with a brief appeal for immediate action nnd less talk. Ho thought that there was no neces sity to lese Unit over a centraTorgantzatlon as Omaha had the Associated Charities , which ho bcilovcd merited the full conlldcnee of the people. The meeting had been called to dovlso plans for Immediate re lief. An emergency confronted the people. Tlicro was no time for red tape or frivolous formality of ntn kind. Some people were Without fuel and they should bo taken care of at onco. Ilo did not oppose the organiza tion of a relief committee , but ho thnudtt that action to provide food and fuel should bo taken before adjournment. Mr. Hose- water said that it would bo a disgrace to the progressive city of Omaha to allow ono life to perish through traverty. A condition and not n theory con fronted the people of Omaha , and In view of the crisis ho bollnvcd that the county commissioners should order 1 000 tons of coal at once and have It distributed among poor people who wcro freezing nnd needed immcdlalo assistance. Ho further more belloved that the city council should follow NUit. The trrcatost law was the law of preservation. This rescue would afford temporary relief to personal suffering and in the meantime the committee could organ ize and adopt a system for permanent relief and distribution of foaJ. Dr. Miller objected to the suggestion on the ground that it was not lawful. Mr. Hosuwntor replied that the county commis sioners wcro empowered by law to rcliovo people in distress. The present was an emerscncy of poverty that appealed to pub lic sympathy on the same basts as a flood or extcnslvo conllagratlon which rendered hundreds of people houseless. An urgent necessity faced the people. Committees Appointed. Dr. Miller withdrew his objections. The following committee was then selected to name accntrnl committee of fifteen to net nt once : Mayor Bonus , George I * Miller , II. W. Yatos. W. A. U Gibbon , Louis Head and Thomas Kllpatrick. The committee retired nnd in a few mo ments named the following central relief committee , which was , by a unanimous vote of the meeting , asked to meet at 4 o'clock p. in. today In the mayor's ofllco : Henry W. Yates , chairman ; Herman Konntzc , J. A. Crolghton , Frank Murphy , J. S. Brady , Guy Barton , W. A. Paxton , A. C. Mlllard , II. T. Clarke , W. A. Hoborson , Charles F. Wellcr , George P. Bemls , C. B. Havens , Curtis Turner and John Hush. Mr. Hose water moved that the meeting re quest the Board of County Commissioners to purchase not less than 500 tons of coal at once and distribute it to the deserving poor of Omaha who arc without f uol. The motion was unanimously carried. It was announced that pending the session of the central committee nt 4 p. in. today , Henry W. Yates , chairman , was authorized to receive cash subscriptions. Mr. Yates subscribed $100 as n starter and Bishop Worthington responded with $75. W. H. Bennett subscribed 5,003 loaves of bread and Dr. Miller donated 50 cords of wood. Tin : COUATVS rooit. Coinml lonciM Anxlmis to Do Something fur Men Who \Vnnt toVorlc. . The severe weather of the past few days has driven any number of now applicants to the county store for coal and provisions , and so far all of those who could pass the appli cation have been assisted. Tuesday thirty-three new names worn added lo the rolls. All of the now parties who applied Tuesday were mon who were residents of the city , heads of families and willing to work. Applications for work on the roads con tinue to bo filed with the county agent anu at this date there are 100 men who have signed to go out and labor. The commission ers had Intended to wait until the weather moderated before sending any men out to work on the Elkhorn road , but owing to the great number of applications for positions they have reconsidered their decision and will undoubtedly scud out ono gang this morning. The work that It Is intended to perform is in a heavy cut at the west end of the Ben son motor line nnd as soon as the frozen earth is taken off there will bo nothing to interfere with the removal of the dirt , which will bo hauled a short distance west and dumped in a 1111 in the vicinity of Coal creolc culvert. To remove the frozen crust dynamlto will bo used. In this new movement to furnish employ : mcnt to those ulio will submit to the apply ing of the labor test , the commissioners are of the opinion that they have made n ton strike. They argue that before the coming of warmi weather they may bo compelled to expend several thousand dollars in grading and Improving country roads , but they claim that it will not bo money wasted , as the improvement is necessary and would luvo to bo made sooner or later. In doing the work now they hold that they are re lieving the wants of nccay citizens and preventing - venting them from becoming objects of charity , besides the grading can bo done al most as cheaply now as at any other tlmo.

At a meeting of the Omaha Central union hold last night the proposition to build a market hotiso and auditorium on Jefferson square was thoroughly discussed and the unanimous voice of the union de clared in favor of such u measure. Mr. E. U. Overall opened the discussion with quite a lengthy speech , In which ho gave It us hU opinion that this proposition was the best that had been made relating to the market house idea. Ilo did not limit : it was wise at thla tlmo for the city to pay out $100,000 or moro for ground on which to build a market house when the city already owns as good a site aa could bo secured , and ho further sug gested that the expenditure of the money now in a mapnlllcont building would tend , in a great measure , to solve the question of providing work for the unemployed. D. Clem Do.tvcr spoke in favor of the proposition nnd favored the building of n largo auditorium In connection with the market house. lie thought that such a building could bo erected wltn the money now voted for that purpose , and that it would bo a credit to the city , bo of great assistance to needy worklnttmon , and help to tulo the business men over the present dull times. August Hccrnmn also declared himself in favor.of using JolTerson squire and thought that the proper thin ? to do was to start the work as soon as possible , so that it would beef of practical benefit to those now out of work. illiiKH .Uniting Ciillmf.

It was the unanimous opinion of this meet ing that the pcoplo of Omaha would gener ally favor this move , as there need bo very little delay in getting the work started and it would give employment to many of Omaha's Idle and be a bonolit to all the busi ness interests. The report of the committee on homo in dustry was very lengthy and recited the ad- vautaccs to bo gained ov patronizing homo manufacturers and building up homo insti tutions. The organization committee repotted that its work had resulted in helping several old organisations to remain in cx'stinco { nnd that during the past six months four new unions had been brought into -beingand were now represented in the central body. The treasurer in making his report showed the union to bo in good llnancial condition and that all bllU due had been paid. Onioern iioet : l.

The much tnlked' > oC , "Wang , " which has probably had the greatest popular success of any modern comic opera , is to bo produced for the second tlmo in this city next Sun day , Monday and'Tuosday at Boyd's. The opera has for the past two seasons bson ono of tlio greatest money makers that over de lighted a lucky manager. This fact has this season made it possible for an unprecedented amount' of money to bo lavished upon its scenery and costumes which aid in depicting life in Siam under the regency appointed during the minority of the present kingof that country. The company consists of sixty people and carries its own orchestra. It also carries every foot of the gorgeous scenery needed for the production , tbo cost of this scenery being in the neighborhood of $15,000. _ Commencing tonight and continuing the two succeeding v nights at Boyd's theater John T , Kelly , the olevcr Irish comedian , will present his new comedy , "McFce of Dublin , " and all lovers of comedy should see this performance. The play was written by Charles T. Vincent and Mr. Kelly , and it differs from other comedies of the present day in that it docs not depend solely upon specialties , songs and dances for its success. It has a very clover story running through out , and the Interest is maintained to the end. The now piece has mot with great success in other cities , nnd Air. Kelly is credited with having made the biggest kind of a hit In the title rolo. Mr. Kelly's abili ties are well known to our theater-goers , who remember with pleasure his engage ment hero last , season. His performances are always spirited and full of vim , and the fun never flags for an instant.
