WASHINGTON , Sept. 6. The much
mooted German question was decided by the
nupremo lodge of the Knights of Vythlaa
today by a decisive vote against permitting
the use of the ritual other than In the Kng-
llsli language. Two votes were talien , tlio
first on the ( substitution of the minority re
port to cho the German lodges five years
of grace In vthlch to adopt the English
ritual , resulted 71 to 11 against the minority
report. Then the majority report was
adopted by a vote of 79 lo 36.
The gist of the majority report Is found In
the following recommendation :
"That tlio Fuprema lodge renounce and re
affirm the declaration made at the Kansas
City session that henceforth and forevermore
the rllnul used In this and all other English-
speaking1 nations shall bq printed In the
English language- only , and that when the
standard of our order shall be planted In any
country speaking-another than the English
language the ritual therein used shall
bo printed and all concerns over
which the body has control shall I
lii conducted only In the language of such i
government to tlio end ( hat It may bo known i j I
to all men nnd to all nations that around our
altars Pythian knights are taught , as one
of the cardinal principles of our order , undy
ing loyalty and devotion tn the government t
to which they ewe their allegiance , whether
it be the land ot their birth or the country
of their adoption. "
It nlso commended the supreme chancellor
for his action in upholding the law In this i
matter nnd was signed by four members
of the committee , Stanton T. Carter , Thomas
D. Mears. L. 1' . Hunt and Aaron Myers.
John II Iliisso of Indiana was the author of
tlie minority report which recommended that
lodges which have remained loyal to the
BUprcma lodga and were working with rituals
In other than the English language when
tli a last ritual was promulgated , be fur-
nlKlieil uith rituals In the language ttiry
were previously using for a period of live j
years , after which they will surcnder them , I
and use only the English. I
Three hours debate was had. The prlncl'he
pal speech for the minority was made by
Representative Kealhorslone of Wisconsin
and for thn majority by Representative Car
ter of California. It was argued against the
minority proposition Hint It five years were
granted the German lodges , they would
apply for another cxlcnsl-n of tlmo at ( he
end of that period and the whole question
would have to bo fought ovsr.
Sitting In committee of the whole ; the
loilgu has approved the unanimous repcrt
of tha committee on the statement of the
order recommending that saloonkeepers , bar-
lenders nnd nrofesslDii.il gamblers be de
clared Ineligible to membership , but not
affecting those who have already become
members , The qucstlcn has not been acted
upon by the supreme ledge proper.
Tlio same committee recommends that the
supreme lodge proclaim against the use of
the name I'ythlanlsm In connection with
aide ranks.
A request has been telegraphed to the su
preme lodgj to Institute n search for T. S.
Franks ot Belle Plain , la. , who came to
Washington to attend the encampment , and
has not returned to his home. Ills friends

letter to Bdward Chase of Drlgham City ,
Utah , the president of the congress , written
March 3 , Secretary Morton said : "The farm

why they should petition the government to
make appropriations to fertilize arid lands

ditional appropriation of 140,000 was made.

It was a gnla tilfiht last night at Court-
land lake , as an Immense crowd turned out
to witness the spectacular show , the "Last
Days of I'ompell , " which.has been running
for nearly three weeks , nnd ullh one excep
tion , ihcro were more people thcro than upon
any night since the opening. On "Wood
man Night" standing room was at a pre
mium , and last night the attendance almost
reached the high-water mark , The fact that
It uas "Elks' Night. " had something to do
with the fact that all of Omaha , and some of
the surrounding country turned out to wit
ness the destruction of the old Roman city ,
but the large crowd was not due to this
alone , as the merits ol the show drew like
a 2:10 : horse race.
The KIlis cent their ladles out to the lake
yesterday afternoon , ar-i during1 the evening
the Klhs followed , where they ucro seated
In tlio center section , Just In the rear of the
footlights. They enjoyed the show most
hugely and all pronounced It splendid.
WMls the Riles were enjoying themselves
Pompeii wtis doing Its best , while as usual
the Roman citizens were on their good be-
havlor , or at least Glaucuswas. . while Ar-
bates was as domineering as In the days
sono by. Uy this time every man , woman
woman and child has an Idea of just how
old Vesuvius nets ivh'n about to cough up
fire , ashes and lava. Behind the canvas the
performance of Vesuvius la upon a different
order , for the mountain does nothing that Is
remarkable. In th ! early part of the cven-
tnt ; the volcano begins to throw out a thin
column of white srnalie , continuing until It
throws all that Is on its overloaded stomach ,
This smoking Is due solely to the efforts of
old Solomon Spoon and a sheet Iron stove
Mr. Spoon Is hired exprsssly for the occa-
slon , and nil night long he sits on an up-
turned soap box , with a pile of shavings ,
straw and combustible material close at
hand. Ever and anon Solomon opens the
door of hi * ttove and forces In a wisp of the
lu ° l nnd as he does tills the flames take hold
of the light stuff , and as It burns the smoke
L-scnp's through a Hue that leads up to the
.pom of the mountain. This , however , Is not
the only burd n that rests upon the shoulders
nf this old Itoinati , far about the tlmo when
Lou Hou/ec and WlllUm Zimmerman touch :
oJT the mine that shoots red fire through the
doors of the tempi' , he rushes over to the
building In front of which Arbacrc Is trying
to make Ciluucus kneel and kiss the golden
calf ' , and cutting a bunch of twine strings ,
lie' works destruction by pushing down the
ualla of about all the entlri city. This hav
ing been accomplished. Mr. Spoon grabs his
stove out of the wreck and carries It awuy
in order that It may be kept In good shape
tor the nxt performance.
I'rlor to Spoon's getting In his deadly
work Frank Murray and Harry Wilding ,
the two men who are so handy with the
mitts , fought n three-round bout , doing some
very clever work , to the entire satisfaction
and amusement of the ladles , as well as
the gentlemen.
Last night the Elks did not know It , but
It was a fact just the same , that the rockets
and bombs were touched off by George Daniels
nnd "William Zimmerman , both of whom
are experts in destroying Pompeii and making
the last days Anything but pleasant and
agreeable for the populace which had gath
ered upon that fete day to witness the at t- it
tempt of Arlmces and bis thugs to make :
Glaucus and some of the other boys bow
tlio knee.
Last night the fireworks were , different
In many respects from what they had been :
upon any of the previous nights , there being
several new designs In fountains and aerial
bombs. The principal set piece was the
head of an elk with antlers spreading out
to the distance of thirty feet. It was not
the Intention of the management to have
the head and nntlers of an ullc. but re
was n hitch In the proceedings at the st
minute and as necessity became the mother
ot Invention , they had to talce this or noth
ing. It so happens that John II. Flanagan
Is I ho exalted ruler of the Elks , and the
dslro was to have his face on the canvas
Illuminated by fire of many and various
colors , but Flanagan was modest and would
not sit for a picture , thus disappointing the
artist.
AMU&K.WRXTX.
There Is a wealth of romanticism about
"Jlr. Barnes of New York" which appeals
strongly lo a popular audience. The bsok ,
although showing signs of extreme haste ,
was cleverly constructed. The drama suffers
llttlo In Its abridgement from the novel
which came within an nee of being one of
the sensational books ot the last ten years.
Mr. Gunter had a story to tell and he sur-
roumlctl It with all the bright bits of local
color which this prince of story tellers ;
luimv.i so well how to use In setting off back
ground , The locale of the play Is In itself
romantic , the Island of Corsica ; then as a foil
to the patrician , vengeance-loving JIarlna
I'aall , the author Introduces a breezy ,
thorvughly unconventional American , Mr.
Ilarnes of New York , who displays the na-
t.oiinl coolness in moments ot Intense dra-
matlo situations and makes love with the
ardor of a true descendant of Uncle hem.
With these as the principal characters In the
play , aided and abetted by other bright and
Interesting people , a really entertaining
story ot nineteenth century love and affec
tion Is the result.
Everybody , that Is the great reading pub
lic , has enjoyed "Mr. .IJarnes of New York ; "
they have followed him In his escapades ,
and they have sometimes trembled lest his
adventurous nature might get him Into diffi
culties from which It would be dtftlcult ifflto
extricate himself. Hut Barnes could not
bo sacrificed and ho wins his sweetheart as
well as bringing the national emblem Into
line repute with these who were scoffers at
the stripes and stars.
Last night "Mr. Ilarnes of New York"
was the bill at the Fifteenth Street theater ,
With Miss Emily Illgl as the stellar attrac
tion In the role of Marina Paolt. Miss Itlgl
has long enjoyed the reputation of being
a capable , conscientious actress. She has
Illumined the stage by thoroughly good work ,
having played quite a round of parts during
licr varlcj staKe career. She has never
played a part liadly , and as .Marina I'aoll
she is seen at her very best. A strikingly
handsome figure , she brings to the part all
thu passions , the deep Intensity of a Cor !
sica n woman who believes she has wrongs
lo right. Never exceeding the requirements
of the role , which Is a hard one , .Miss Higl
dominated the slago completely.
Mr. Ilarnes Is In the hands of Mr. Hackett ,
( ho Bon of one of the great American actors ,
who ornamented the stage a generation ago i ,
anil a wiser selection for ( his eccentric char
acter could not have been made. Tall ,
handsome , with delightful sang frold , he plays
the part with splendid effect. Mrs. May
Halnes-.Moorn as Enid Anstruther. the be
loved of Ilarnes , was bright and ing ,
playing the Ingenue with credit to herself
as well as assisting Mr. UariKs materially
In developing the thread of the story. If thcro
bo a thread. Maud , the ' "enfant terrible"
of the Chartrla family , was ona of the clever
bits of the evening , played with good results
by Jllss Helen Lee. Mr. Iledflcld Clarke
was a manly Englishman , while the Count
Danella of Mr. Horace Lewis was a con
scientious study. The play receives excel :
lent mounting at Iho hands of the manage
ment , nnd from the demonstrations of last
night the play made a strong1 bid for public
favor ,

LINCOLN , Sept. ( . . ( Special to The ne. )
From the report of the Institute for the Deaf
in Omaha , a local paper selects some figures
ami concludes that on Ing to a shortness ol
the appropriation the Institution will be
forced to close before the beginning of the
year. On ? of Hie state house statisticians
calls attention to a few errors In the compu
tations , The maintenance fund appropriation
for the lost lialf of the year Is $1,312.80 , and
the writer , using as a basis the per capita
cost of the first half of the year. c nies to the
conclusion that the fund will \ii \ Insufficient ,
overlooking the fact that the summer vaca *
tlon conies out of the second half of the
year and reduces the per capita cost by about
$12. The per capita for the last half cf 1893
was $24 , < JC , and dividing tha appropriation
by this amount the fact Is discovered that
the appropriation Is sulllclent for the main
tenance ot 131 pupils , so that the danger of
a closing Is not very Imminent.
