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."
MANAGER BURGESS EXCITED

AViih III Flume.
"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."

W'lth ono exception tho republicans elected

Sam Shrigley, the democratic nominee for

ono candidate, Cleorge W. Howp, who was
placed on tho ticket by tho united labor

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

will bo taken by Adklns, Dvorak, Martin

Kelly and Tralnor as hold-over members. Of
theao hold-over mcmberB Johnston lo tho
only democrat. When Kelly assumes the
duties of mayor bo will be called upon to
appoint a successor to his neat in the city
council nnd this appolntco will bo a repub
lican, so that Johnston will bo the only
democrat In tho body.
In connection with this appointment
Mayor-elect Kelly sayo ho proposes lo con
fer with leading republicans with .1 view
to maklne a selection which will bo satis
factory to all concerned.
Dr. Slabaugh and W. I). Vatuant aro being
prominently mentioned for the place. John
K. Schultz Ib being suggested by his friends.
Whllo 110 promises havo been mado It Is
safo to assert that tho election will bo a
good ono and that tho man appointed to
servo out Kelly's unexpired term will bo n
staunch republican.
On tho school board Messrs. Ln't, I'rcltag
and Scarr retire. Colonel Ixtt, tho cnly re
publican now on tbo 'board, will succeed
himself, whllo A. V. Miller will take Scarr's
place and Theodore Schroder will succeed
Froltag, When these changes aro mado the
board will stand nix democrats and threo
republicans.
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
