It Is truo this case was not put on my docket by tho Judges en banc, but Its appearenco hero meets with the approval of the other Judges. All I care to say as to the political phase of this motion Is that it Is a sad commentary on tho court as nn In dividual, If not upon tho district bench as ,i wbnlo. to presume that u Judgo when elected must absolutely discard all of his former political friends.

Savldge handed in his parchments as a minister in the Methodist episcopal church and began bis Independent work In this city. He hns been blessed beyond expectation In preaching tho gospel to tho roor and wicked. About threo and one-half years ago Ur. D. N. McInturlT of Spokane, Wash., did tbo same thing In th'at city. Ho has been very successful. Tho generous people of Spokanu ; have given him a largo building of about 100 I moms, besides tho nuditorlum nnd parson- age. This building is used to house tho poor and needy nt a nominal rent, nnd nnny a sad disheartened one Is thus relieved and hclpoJ. I This building brings In a rent of $1,C00 per year, thus enabling tho society to do much good. Tlieee two nion heard of each other nnd were most naturally drawn together. On December 2 last Dr. Mclnturff camo to this rlty and spent four weeks here. Tho result of this vlBlt was the union of theso two pastors and their churches, under tho namo of the Peoples' United church. Tho manual of this now church has Just been printed lu this city, and will bo read by thousands with great interest, calls for It even coming In from California. Dr. Mclnturff Is again In tho city, this being his second visit. Tho speclnl object of this visit Is to usslst Hov. Savldge In fcccur Ing n suitable and commodious building for his ovor increasing work. A contract has been made for tho lot at tho northwest cor ner of Seventeenth nnd Chicago streets at $13,500. An excellent dwelling, worth 15,000, Is on Hi') lot, which will bo a part of the now church property. It has been decided to place this building on tho north end of the lot. nnd on tho romnlnder to erect a three or four-story building similar to tho church In Spokane, which will be of untold benefit to Omnhn. As this Is a humanitarian church for tho aid of tho poor theso two ministers feol that every business man will bo Interested, and they aro making a thorough canvass of tho city for necessary funds. They are meeting wlh encouraging results on overy hund Tho following special appeal Is made by Mev. Mclnturff- To the Many Thousands -Who RiMid This I'uper!

Do you know that only 15 per cent of the poor attend church? Wo be lieve overy one who reads this should glvo aid. i nls work, ho Important for tho city, must either be properly fostered and housed i or It will full and como to naught. Omaha idiould proudly stand by thin work for the following reasons: I Kim Tho city Is fully nble to do this work and piuee this humanitarian church on a basis to stand tho strain of years. If I .Spokane, Wash., only one-third ns largt in Omaha, has been willing to glvo for my work In the last live years over $10,000, who shall my that Omaha, "a city of enter- I prises," will full her son In this bis hour or neeil,' Second Wo do not proposo simply to butid u church to be closed most of tbo tlmo like others, but we Intend to erect on this .splendid corner a three or four-story building, with 100 rooms.

The singing by .Mrs. Ames and Mrs. Holmes of "Tho Star Spangled Man ner." supported In Hie chorus by tho guests, was ono ot the Interesting features. Veto of CronKlMlIk ItenolutloilR, At tbo last meeting of the city council quite a number of resolutions wore passed directing tho street commissioner to lay crosswalks In various parts of the city. It Is greatly desired by the members of the council that thiso walks bo laid beforo tbo muddy season appears. On tho othor hand, tho powers that bo nwert that tbero Is no money to pay for the work, and It Is possible that the mayor may veto all the resolutions calling for expenditures In tho street commissioner's department. The city now owes $2,600 for lumber used In I sidewalk repairs nnd tho construction of crosswalks, nnd thero Is no money nt hand which can bo used In paying this bill. It is reported that tho mayor docs not feel Inclined to Increase this lumber bill any moro than Is absolutely necessary, nnd for this reason ho Will mwt likely withhold his approval of tho resolutions. l'resbyturlun Minimum Cuttle I.umn-n Predicted.
