'An Evening With Hnndel," which ha t

tho services nt tho First Methodist Epls
copal church Sunday night, more than filled
tho odlllco with music lovers and many
worn turned nway. A choir of forty, re
splendent with now vestments, nbjy trnus
lated tho work of the great composer, who
Is known as tho "father of tho oratorio,
oven tho hymns sung by tho congregation
being set to his music. Rnv. Dr. Hirst
preached from tho subject, "Tho Two Har
vests." Tho program opened with an organ pre
lude. "Andante Pomposo" and "Mlnuotto,"
by T. J. Kelly, the first of which Is no
doubt new to the musical world of Omaha.
Tho pomp and grandeur of the Andante
contrasted beautifully with the delicacy of
tho mlnuette.
Mr. John McCroary's superb tenor was
displayed to tho best advantago In "Tho
Total Eclipse," a piece domandlng perfect
control of the voice, As n prelude to this
Dr. Hirst read an explanatory excerpt from
Milton's poem "Sampson."
During tho singing of the colcbrated Hal
lelujah chorus, tho climax of tho "Mes
siah," tho congregation arose. This was In
accordance, with a tradition to the effect
that when this selection was rendered In
the presence of royalty In tho latter part
of the sixteenth century tho king of Eng
land arose and stood uncovered as a com
pliment to the composer.
Miss Frances Davis, already established
as one of the leading contraltos of Omaha,
sang "Ho Was Despised" with excellent
effect. Miss Davis' singing Is especially
noted for tho beauty of her tone production
and enunciation.
Other notablo numbers on the program
were tho "Largo," played as ail offertory
solo, nnd the chorus "And the Glory of tha
Lord."

'The revolution In the rubber footwear
business of tho country Is remarkable,"
said one of the Omaha wholesale dealers
tho other day. "I have been selling goods
In this line for over thirty years, starting
In a retail houso as clerk. In thoso dayH j
mere were just inreo mnun 01 luuuer
shoes men's, women's and children's. The
shapes were all tho same, and the over
shoe was made to go over any shoo of a
corresponding size. It was one of those
nondescript affairs, which would accommo
date Itself In a measure to any foot.
'Today there aro as many designs In
rubber shoes as there are In other shoes
and manufacturers keep In touch with
the shoe manufacturers to anticipate any
change in tho style, so that tho new rub
ber and tbo new shoo may coma out simul
taneously, Now, hero Is the latest thing
In tho way of rubber shoes. This Is called
tho 'Windsor,' and you wil notice that tho

and is no doubt made to fit a last not yet
put upon tho market by the shoemakers.
"Many peoplo do not know of tho dif

of refusing to soil goodB to a man who calls

morning on "Seventy-five Years of Congre

"Tho fundamental prlnclplo on which Con
gregationalism rests Is tho Independence
of (be local church. It holds that tho local
church has tho dtvlnoly-lmparted right to
make Its own croed, receive and reject
members upon conditions ot Its own making,
to ordain Us own minister and select lib
own officers tho wholo subject only to tho
law of the ono Master Christ.
"Each member of tho local church has
the same privilege or authority as every
othor member, whether ho be In the pulpit
or In tho pew, Congregationalism at Its
Inception was n declaration of independ
ence, leveled against the rule ot bishops,
s)nods, creeds, traditions, popes and every
other person and power wbatsoover, ex
cept the great Head of tho church. This
principle ot Independency it holds In com

hB written to the generals under his su

expedition lasting eighty days. Today Gen
oral Chaffoe nnd General Voyron, the
French commander, received letters asking
for their co-operation nnd expressing a de
sire to know what forces they can spare.
In commencing his letter to General Chaf

It Is not thought likely that General

Instructions from Washington. The French
commander. hnweer. Is expected to do so.
Count von W.ttderseo's plans contemplate
offering thn command of the expedition to

In that event It will bo offered to Gen

with tho arrangement, which Count on
Wnldetsec believes will be the rase. Such
nil olTer to Gcucrul Voyron would havo the
effect. It Is thought, of overcoming the
differences which have existed between the
French and Germans, hocnuMi It would bu
a demonstration of Count von Waldcrscc's
confidence In the military ability of the
French contingent.

Governor Roosevelt Is much annoyed over
tho hair-raising stories that hnvo been cir
culated concerning his hunting experiences.
To a representative of the Associated Press
ho gave tho following statement today:
Correnpomleiitu Wrote from Afur,
"No correspondent of any newspaper, no
man who wroto to or gavo any information
to any newspaper was within forty miles
of whero I wns hunting nt any time during
tho five weeks t was out. Tho sensational
Btorles, such as thoso describing adventures
with bears nnd wolves, were deliberate and
willful fabrications and, I understand, wero
written by men who were not within hun
dreds of miles of whero I was. Wo did not
seo a bear or wolf on tho entire trip,
Aside from lynx and smaller gamo out hunt
ing was confined to shooting the so-called
mountain Hons or panthers. 1 got twelve
of them. I nevtr enjoyed a holiday more.
I hnvo novcr boon out with n better hunter
than John Go IT. His hounds am. without
exception tho best I have over seen for the
work.
"As I nm obliged to go east In view of
tho nearness of tho Inauguration I am, to
my great regret, unable to adrcss tho Colo
rado legislature in accordance with their
extremely kind request. I cannot nufll
clently express my appreciation of tho
courtesy nnd hospitality with which I havo
been treated In Colorado nnd I shall eagerly
hall the first chance to again come to tho
state."
"I was given up to die roni heart and
nervous troubles caused by grip. Six bot
tles each ot Dr. Miles' Heart Curo and
Nervlno cured me." Mrs. John Wollet,

CALAMITY HOWLERS WRONG
More II I. ii y Truvelem on the Itoud Voir
Tliiiu nt Any Time lu Mnny
Yenm.
J. G. Kaiser, one of the veteran packing
houso salesmen who travels out of Omaha,
spent Sunday In the city. Mr. Kaiser has
been on the road representing u South
Omaha, packing houso for many years and
has traveled throughout the territory trib
utary to Omaha. At the present time he
Is covering n route In western Iowa.
"In all my experience on tho road," said
Mr. Kaiser, "I never found so many trav
eling men employed as now. Tho huo nnd
cry raised by tho calamity howlers before
election thnt tho traveling men were being
abused Is effectually disproved by prevail
ing conditions. It Is n certainty that trav
eling men would not be on the rond unless
they wero doing business, and the only logi
cal conclusion Is that business affairs In
the west are now lu as good shape as ever
before.
"Just as an example, I might relate a
chapter of experiences I had last week.
Wednesday night nt Tama I got Into tho
lending hotel eaily In the evening and se
cured tho last room available. Tho next
train that came in brought four traveling
men, none of whom could secure accommo
dations. The next night at Coon Rapids
I couldn't got a bod In any of the hotels.
At Manning Friday night I got to my hotol
about midnight und found three traveling
men sleeping io the ofllce. I was provldod
with a cot and filled out the quartet. These
things aro merely straws, but they go to
show that there aro more traveling men on
tlio rond now than there has been at any
time In my recollection."
WAR IN WALL PAPER TRADE
Mfiuufiie.tui-er Sulil to lie Selllnu

nf Production.
The wholesale wall paper dealers of the
city report tho best trodo of any season
slnco the business was established. In the
city, but tho fluctuation In prices Is far
from satisfactory. The Iluutuatlcn Is the
result of a war between tho manufacturers.
which has followed tho breuklng of the
agreement which controlled prices last
year.
Tho fight began with a reduction of 10
per cent In ordlnnry Htocl- and a deeper
cut In hlghor grades. This cut was met
by all other houses and tho reduction has
brought prices to a point where wnll papers
are being delivered to tho Jobbers for lefs
thnn tho paper upon which the designs
aro printeu can De bought. With this con
dltlon affecting the wholesale trade Jobbers
are all expecting a sharp advance and
therefore, they have purchased heavy
stocks. Contracts for the delivers' of fall
itock nre now being made nt the low
prices and manufacturers do not look for
any relief until after the goods for the
next season's trrde nro delivered.
jiio wan paper trade of Omohn Is of
comparatively recent origin, and Is con

CLOSING RUSH COMMENCES
enr Approach nf Ailjonrnltin Hour
MnrtN OinKrem on the
Double ItiileU,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 The last week
but ono of the present session of congress
will be an exceedingly busy one In thf
house. Muuh business remains to bo dis
posed of and the Invariable crowding which
characterizes tho closing hours of n con
gress has begun nlready.
The appropriation hilts, so far as (he
house Is concerned, are In fairly good shape,
Tho last of them, tho general deficiency
bill, will follow on tho heels of the sun
dry civil bill, which Is about half com
pleted. These bills and conference reports
will Im alven the rlitht of way over every
thing else. All other matters, some of them !
of great Importance relatively, but not of t
lmrcrnttvo necessity to bo jmssed, will have ,
to take their chnnces In the final rush. '
Speaker Henderson Is almost constantly i
besieged by members Importuning lilm In (
tho Interest of various measures. He Is
keeping everything dear for the great bills
and letting tho driftwood of legislation
Into the current only when It will not Im
pede progress of things which must pass
congress before March 4.
There aro ninny knotty problems to be
solved In connection with the appropria
tion bills over differences between the two
houses and many good-slied rows aro prom
ised. The ultimate fato of the river nnd
harbor bill will probably depend upon how
heavily It Is loaded when It comes back
from tho sennte.
Revenue Iteiliictlon n llnril Xnt,
Tho biggest fight between tho two houses
from nnnearnnef-r. U llkelv to occur over
.earancrr. is UKeiy to occur ovtr
revenue reduction nrt. The senate
t seem determined at present to
tho war
conferees seem determined at present
forco the senate substitute or allow the
hill to fall, Rut the house conferees nro
standing firm nnd, no many members of the
houso "have their backs up," the Impres
sion prevails that the house will support
tholr conferees, and If It does, the senate
In the end may be compelled to yield,
Tomorrow Is suspension day nnd tho bill
appropriating J5.00O.00O for tho St. Louis
exposition will bo put on Its passage. ,V
motion to suspend the rules will rut off
opportunity for nmendmcnt nnd no doubt
Is entertained that this bill will command
tho two-thirds necessary to secure Its pas
sage upon a motion to suspend tbo rules
Tho program with reference to this and
other measures, however, may bo mate
rially modified If It becomes certain bsforo
March 4 that an extra session is to be
called.
Only Appropriation lu Semite,
The sonnto will devote practically all Its
time during tho present week to appro
priation bills. The postofllco appropriation
bill will probably bo taken up tomorrow
upon convening, though It may glvo place
to the diplomatic and consular appropria
tion bill. Tho amount of time to be con
sumed In dlscus3lng these measures will
depend largely upon the determination
which may be reached with reference to the
ship subsidy bill. So long ns the demo
crats feel that the subsidy bill Is to be
pressed In caso of a lull they will Insist
upon debating all moasures presented. Tho
bill making appropriations for fortifications
will also lecelvo attention during the week
nnd It Is expected that tho conference re
port upon the Indian bill will bo consid
ered. Tne army mil prooauiy win ne re
ported lato In. tho wnok, but not In time
to be debated bcfcre'lho beginning ot next
week.
There is some talk of the renewal of
night sessions, but It Is not probable that
they will be again undertaken until the
losing days of the session.
