SLUM LIFE IN WKJKED PARIS l.lcutciinnt Colonel llrciver Deliver Lecture nt Suit iitliin Army llcnd iionrters on the Subject, Lieutenant Colonel William Hrewer, editor In chief of all tho Salvation Array publica tions In America, and who has headquarters In New York, arrived In Omaha from the west Wednesday afternoon. Ho was accom panied ' by Major Joseph Ludgato of Now York, an army worker of national repute. Major Ludgate runs largely to music. Colonel Ilrewcr delivered a le-lurc Wednesday night at army headquarters on Davenport street. His subject was "Salvation Army Slum Work In Paris." Tho largo hall was crowded. Hvery seat was occupied and stnhdlng room was closely taken. Colonel llrewer tnndo an extended tour of Kuropo a few months ago and Is now return ing east from a tour of the United States, which extended from New York to San Kranclsco. With Major I.udgato ho will lenvo for thn east this morning. Colonel Ilrcner described In detail tho wlckedtiess of Paris. Ho told of three cafes which he visited where religion is the subject of ri bald Jest nnd whero blasphemy rules. The respective names of these cafes are Hitiven, Hell anil Death. Kaeh. on Is fitted up to represent thu name. It Is all a mockery of good things, tho colonel dcclnrcs. There are places In Paris whero murders are almost of nightly occurrence, Colonel Hrewer said, but tho oung women who represent tho Salvation Army In slum work aro respected by tho rufllan element, and they go about their work with absoluto confidence that they will not be harmed. Colonel Ilrewcr re gards Paris as the most wicked city In tho world, but ho declares tho Salvation Army Is doing much to bring nbout rcfonm. Colonel Ilrewcr beforo returning to New York will visit each of tho moro promluent cities of tho union. Ho has already been to many cities. Ho declared himself highly plenscd with his reception in Omaha, and expressed tbo opinion that tho work of tho army hern is pro gressing In a satisfactory manner. Colonel Hrewer Is comparatively young Botnowhoro In tho thirties. "Sixteen years ago I decided to dovoto my llfo to Salvation Army work," bo said, "and I havo never had reason to regrot my decision. 1 think tho army Is a grand organization. I do not bcllovo In form nnd conventionality. I think tboy havo no part in religion. I -want tho kind of religion that Is good anywhere, any day and under any circumstances."

"I was never so excited In all my llfo as today," said Manager Hurgess of IJoyd's theater Wednesday evening In discussing tho tiro that razed tho now convention hall at Kansas City to tho ground. "I was eat ing lunch when a telepbono messago brought mo the Information that tho Auditorium In Kansas City was burning. I am Jointly in terested In tho management of tho Audi torium theater at Kansas City, and I pre sumed that I was tho victim of a fire for tho fifth time. I havo been burned out four times In tho theatrical business, but at no time would the loss have been bo great as In this instanco bad It really been tho Audi torium theater that was ablaze. "Following tho first telephone messago camo two or threo others from tho tele graph olllces and other sources and nil doubts as to any possible mlstako wcro swept away. As soon as I gained my equilibrium I telephoned tho telegraph offices and both returned tho Information that tbo 'Audi torium' wan nblazo. After I had been In a perfect stato of misery for what seemed to mo an ago I called up tho telegraph offlco again for further Information, and this time tho reply mentioned tho burning of n school house, a church nnd a row of Hats. Then a tay of light appeared, for I knew that no such buildings were near tho theater. Klrally tho matter was straightened out nnd I learned It wns tbo big convention ball. How relieved I was no one can appreciate. I Im mediately got connection by long distance 'phono with our theater In Knnsas City and ascertained that the building waB as sound as a dollar and housing ono of tho biggest matlneo audiences of tho season at our fourth week's production or 'Quo Vadls.' Until I got deflntlo information in the mat ter I thought that my summer's outing In Europe, which I havo looked forward to with much pleasure, would have to be post poned a few years."

Howp, who was placed on tho ticket by tho united labor j party after tho regular nominee had dc icllncd to mako the race. Judge Howe has held oCTlco as a republican and Is still con iSldcied au active member of the porty. A , grat deal of disappointment was expressed 1 yesterday by democrats at the falluro of that party to elect even one of Its candi dates for tho school board. The selection of threo republican candidates is taken as an indication that tho citizens aro tired of democratic rulo and desire a chanpe, Tho Jar is severely felt by Fltzlloberts. Ilren nan nnd Iocchnor nnd the prospects now are that they will bo retired to private llfo next nprlng. Hy electing threo republican members of tho board next April tho repub Ileitis will again secure control of tho board and place the schools on tho footing they were beforo tho democrats camo into power in 1SH8. Councllmen Dennett, Cllngen, Wear and Kankerllk retire o April 10 and their places will bo taken by Adklns, Dvorak, Martin and Miller.

Democrats as well as republicans appear to bo well pleased over tho result of the election. Mayor-elect Kelly bad a regular ovation when ha reached tho city hall yes terday forenoon. Congratulations were showered upon him and everyone wished him good luck and a successful career as chief exfcutlvo of tho city. To a great extent tho success of the re publican party at this tlmo was duo to tho lndufatigablo efforts, of It. A. Carpenter, who managed tho campaign for Mr. Kelly. As ovoryono knows, Mr, Carpenter has been city clerk of South Omaha for four years and has mado an enviable record for himself and his party by tho manner In which ho has kept tho records and conducted the affairs of Jils office. Mr. Carpenter Is personally acquainted with n largo proportion of tho population of South Omaha, having resided hero for many years, and this acquaintance assisted materially in securing votes for the republican ticket. Tho platform adopted by tho republican party and advocated by Kelly was a great factor In bringing about tho result, as was also a demand on tho part of tho pooplo for a change In thu management of municipal affairs. According to law the volo -will bo can vassed by tho city council at a meeting on April 0, nnd on tho day following tho now council will meet and organize.
