The hands are once more moving slowly over the face of the hymenomotcr , and it is quite evident that the machine Is about to tell some liiteiesllng tales. A great many people are unacquainted with the hymenoincter. That is to say , white they read and admire xyeok by week , the pie- dictions of this wondeiful Instrument , they aio totally In Ignorance of how the machine operates. Foi all such , a bilef explanation will bo made. The hymonomotcr ( the sii- niflcaucu of this term is at once appaient by separating It Into hymen "mairlage , " and meter "measure" ) , Is a small , plain , very sim ple leaky Instrument. In outward appear ance it Is something like a chronometer or large watch. It has a dial , of gold , which la so chemically prepared that In a dark loom It is beautifully phosphoiesccnt Suspended on a pivot lu the center ot the dial are Iwo silver bands , each ot which Is diamond-lipped. So much or the outwaul appearance of the hymen omcter. The inteiior mechanism Isextreinely delicate , and to describe it would require much tune. Sudice it to say that every few moments , by some mysterious means , two names , ono that of a lady , the other that of a trentlcman , are illumined on the dial. Then the silver hands swing around , by means of thu action of a .set of very delicate springs , until they icach positions directly in fionl of these names , showing unmistakably that the two are to bo linked together. Occasionally in very pronounced cases , the names aio ac- , comnaiiicd by paiticulars , feucli as tlates , etc. or even by an illuminated pictuio of either or botli of tlio panics. Thus , In brief , Is tlio working ot the Instalment The hands are swinging nervously about. After a few moiurnU ) fluttering they pause In lest before the names ot a young lady who resides on Capitol avenue between Seven teenth and Twentieth , and a gentleman em ployed in the 13. it M. headquarters. The lat ter Is said to boa devoted admirer ot the C.ip- itol avenue belle , nml his affection , it is whis pered , Is fondly icciprocated. The ceremony is to take place some time in June. Once again the hands make a him. This time they toll affection's tale on a young lady fiom Minneapolis , who is visiting her mint in Noith Omaha. The gentleman in the case , it appears , resides in Washington torri- toiy. Ills name is very indistinctly outlined on the dial and It cannot be at picscnt made out. Dut the young lady's Is plainly illu mined and is scon to commence with an U. The case will he closely watched by the hymenoincter and icports upon it will bo made tioiu time to time. Again the situation changes. This time a gentleman in tlio JHufTs is lepoited as the admirer and suitor ol a charming widow who has her icsldeiice on upper Davenport sticet. As a general thing the hyuiciiometer is a trifle untenable In picdictlug mairlages in which a which a widow Is couceined , and so nothing further about this particular case will be said nt piesoiit. Two mole names are pointed out by the CAW restless hands. This time the young lady Hues on baunUcis stieet , and tne young gentleman is an employe in the D. A ; Al. gen eial otlices. Neither of the names mo very plalnlv illuminated on the dial , thoiiLrh enough can bo seen to Indicate that the ini tials ot one aio F. F. , of tqo other F. C. Army Notes.

There were a number of irregularities in re turning the vote of the First ward , but these irrcgulaiities were more the result of an Ig norance of the rcquiiements of the law than lioiu a desire to tamper with tlio ictuins. A special election has been called for April 15 to vote on the proposition to issue bonds to tlio amount of Sbo.000 for tlio purpose of coustinoting a system ot water works.

The ? tory is effectively told in the dialogue. It involves sufl'erlng , crime ami love , plentifully seasoned with 011111110 , icarty humor.

The play is a melo drama of the most stirring kind and abounds in thrilling situations. There is an abundance of witty dlologue winch relieves to a great extent the wcarines of Iho pieco. The scenery wns exceedingly line , the prison scene in the second act being a marvelous piece of construction and intensely realistic. The play is ono which appeals to the heart rattier than the intellect and aroused the enthusiasm of the boys in the gallery to the highest pitch. When virturo triumphed over yice the words of the actors were drowned by the applause. The company is excellent , and brings out the strong points in the play in an excellent manner. Edna Carey as the heroine , "Helen Standish. " acted with spirit , and Annie Ward TilVany as "Did- dy , " the Irish woman , kept the audience in good humor. Nelson whcatcroft , II. W. Hernion and George Edison acquitted themselves well in their respective , parts.

It was opened by a song soryico , very well con ducted and in which the whole audience participated. After several others , "What n Gathering There will Do" was sung in n hearty manner , Rev. Hitler's strong voice adding much to the time and har mony of the singing , After the singing Presiding Elder Phelps led in prayer. Nearly all the largo audience kneeled , and his strong appeal to the omnipotent power caused many to shed bitter tears. "May the Lord consecrate the exposition building , and may it bo made in all truth the house of the Lord. As was said of Lho upostlu who , in his dreams , saw n ladder leading to heaven , may wo also bo enabled to sec it this evening and climb up to Christ on it. This is our last night in this church Oh Lord , bless and sanctify us ; make us anQarmor through which no evil can penetrate. When the buclo notes are sounded in the exposition building next Sunday may the leaders look up and say , 'Hero wo are , oh Lord , awaiting Thy coming.1" After this prayer , "Wo Menu this World For God , " was sung. The chorus is , "This world shall bo set free ; This Is our rallying cry. From land to land , from sea to sea , Our colors will lly. Advance , advance , the buple sounds advance. i\.dvanccadvancotho bugle sounds advance. " It was then announced by the Rev. Mc Kay that services will be hold Sunday morning in this church , also Sabbatn school ; and that at 4 o'clock in the after noon a meeting would bo hold there- for all Christian people ot the _ city of Omaha to participate in. A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend this meeting. No _ matter of what denomination. Tlio object is to enable Christians to pray for one another , and especially tlioso who are about to hold meetings in the exposition building , that thuy may he imbued witli the proper Christian spirit to make the meetings one of great bunofit to tlio peo- pin of this city. Continuing , ho said : "This is next to our last meeting in this clinch On Sunday cvcnins wo will go to the exposition building. Wo want to savn souls : wo want to help Christ all wo can in building up his cause in Omaha. Talk this tliinjr up. Do your part in this matter. Work for the Lord. Invite your friends to come , that we may sec their faces , pray for them and have God save their souls. " Rev. Uitlor then addressed tlio congre gation with a frco flow of inspiring words. "Tliis is not my programme. " said he , ' "And I don't think it's Mr. McKay's ' pro gramme , either. When I came here I tliotight wo would occupy this church throughout this light for Christ. But the Lord lias had u hand in it. He has brought it about so Unit wo are to have the grandest hall in this city to help save souls. 1 toll you that I believe Jesus Christ loves Omaha ; He loves the people living here , one and nil. I think that it is a matter ot congratulation to Christian people to have the use of such a place for a revival meeting. I believe that hundreds on hundreds of peonlc will throng the exposition building to sec and hear what's going on , and I bcliove that thousands of people will be saved em we close. May God inve us a miglity faith this evening a faith that is worthy of Him , a faith that will honor Him. I believe God is sifting out His workers right now ; that Ho is making them feel that it is time they should work with inqre energy than they have been doing. He is picking out those men that Sam Jones sneaks of 'Let a man get upon God's altar and call for fire , and if any thing is left of him after ho gets it , then let him use that. ' Those are the kind of people w want to &co you all to be , tried and found not wanting. Now , again to-night , 1 ask you who wish to bo prayed for to como forward. And you Christians , too , come forward and pray for the unbelievers. Pray for us. Pray for yourselves. Do not be backward , but come up whiio wo sing this song. " "I will follow Jofiiis , " was then Ming , nil the congregation rising and joining. The "pfinitont seats" wove crowded when it was finished filled with young and phi , and people who looked as though they really wibhcd divine help m their battle with life , and had not como for ward merely from curiosity or fiivoious reasons. "Now don't consider this a Methodist custom , " said Mr. Hitler , "but como up , as Christians , and gather with us in our fight against evil.

After this came "personal experienceof quite a number of the audience. The ladies were more numerous than gentlemen in this feature , but tilings were rushing for a few moments , whiio one was sneaking two and throe Manding waiting for their turn. It was announced by Mr. Ditler that "Ion souls have boon saved since I have been hero , and I praise Goil for it. " The moot- ingclosod with a doxology and benedic tion. It was a very interesting and in structive meeting , and well calculated to raise the hopes of the leaders greatly. The Real Knuito Trnclo , The real estate business for the past week lias been normal , anil outside salca very slow , Insdo property has had a gcou demand , and sold at an excellent figure. Ono firm reports that during the week they have bold § 17,000 worth D l inside lots. The largest sale by agents was a number of lots on Colfax street amounting to 21,000. , One of the real estate firms , hoover , bought property , the price paid for wnlch aggregates $03,000. John I , Rediek sold a tract ol his land to agents /or 11,000. This will bo cut tip into lots and sold. There are n largo number of people in the city froin abroad looking for good investments , some with views of establishing biibii nesses here. Ono gentleman Is making arrangements to start a brick yard of at largo dimensions ad tiny now in Omaha , This , it is thought , will have a good ell'cct on the rail e < tate trade , enabling buyers of yroporty to gu bricfc with which to build. Many homo people are buying property on which to bufld. 'Jhcac last , as Mated in last week's HUH , art people who have been paying rent ami have now resolved to establish homes ol their own. This seems to bo a spring ol general homo-making , ns > last ween quite a number of tlio aboyo people were ( cpurted us buying , and this many more. The strike is still felt In a moderate degree. Although it has not consummated in anything ns yet and certainly hopes are ngninst anything of the sort several reliable real estate men sny thr.t the action of the conductors and brakcmen In regard to the mileage pay ment has caused an uneasy feeling. People will not buy property while so much trouble is being experienced be tween laboring men and capital so near Omaha. Dut as the danger of any seri ous scrikcs occurring In this city fa not very great , this uneasiness , 11 is thought , is partially unwarranted- The length , of the winter may have had something to do with the trade , no really pleasant weather having been exporieucoJ until the latter part of this week , but this of course is only temporary , ns is also the strike uneasiness , etc. There have been more inquiries than sales , as regards outside property , during the weok. All the agents arc , howeyor. making sales every daj' , although there is nothing that could be called a rushing business done , Dnt that is natural so early in the spring. As soon as summer has fairly opened up. the real estate business will receive quite a little push , it is thought , and eastern people ple will have a good deal to do with this. Some of the agents say that should tlio business men organize , as was the inten tion of tlioso who attended the meeting Wednesday night , and fully reported in the BBC , the manufacturing interests will take n boom , and that , of course , means more interest in real estate matters. All agree that prices will not bo raised , un less circumstances combine to make tlio property more valuable. Grad ing and paving streets always has n tendency to raise the worth of property along the routes , but outside of such events , no change will bo made in property prices. Lots in the outskirts of the city are being sold quite readily to the people who wish to erect comforta ble homes. Property in tlio business portions tions is also gettmglquito a little attention. There are quite a number of largo sales on the tapis , and a consummation of some of these are expected next week. From letters received from persons living in different parU of this state , and out of it , the idea is justiledtliat ( | Omaha is receiving a good deal of attention from people who wish to locate in an energetic city such as this. Several agents have letters from people in the cast who have a few _ thousand dollars and wish to invest it in soinpthinii Unit will pay , and soein to have fixed their intentions on this eity In fact , from all the indications , the real estate business of Omaha was never in a more healthy condition than at present. The following are the sentiments of a number of real estate agents of this eity who were visited by u DEE reporter yes terday : * Geo. W Amos Business is rather quiet as regards outside sales. Inside lots arc selling fairly. C. E. Mayne Business is pretty lively with us , although nothing unusual. The prospects barring any further serious developments in the strike are excel lent. Morse & Brumer Wo have had a good business , considering. Have sold twenty- two lots in the past seven days. Pros pects flattering. O. T. Morse Business is fair. Have made no large sales , but arc doing some thing every day. Doggs & Hill We are selling a good deal of inside property every day. The outlook lor the future is very pleasant to contemplate. Bedford & Saner Trade was very good last week , but not particularly rushing. There have been more inquiries than in vestments. IT LOOKS SUSPICIOUS. How tlic Tjatcst Move of the Tricky Santa PC is Kosnrded. Information has been received at the passenger department of the Union Pa cific and D. & M. that the Santa Fo had raised rates on California business , or , rather , that they would do so on and after to-day. The rates up to date have been alike on transcontinental lines ; first class ? 30 , with $25 rebate ; second class $20 , with ? 15 rebate. The change docs not afl'cct the amount paid for tickets , but lessens the rebate on first and second class tickets to i18 and $13 , respectively , making a net rate of $13 and $7. General Ticket Agent Stcbbins of the Union Pacific said that ho was inclined to view the action of the Santa Fe with dis trust mid that the Union Pacific would probably not raise rates on the strength ' of this' alleged raise. "We prefer to wait , " he said , "until we hoar more about this thing. " General Manager Iloldrodgo of the 15. & M. , also said that his road would probably pay no attention to the Santa 1'o's move. The general opinion seems to be that thu object underlying this move is to secure travel through tlio agency of ticket brokers. The margins before were too .small to serve as an in ducement to ficalper.s. Tin-re was not enough in it for them to work very hard. But with the present rates the Santa Fe will allow scalpers to work for the line , haying a very fair profit for their work. Kail Notes. The railroad war still continues over the loiiti-s west as lo passengers , but fast freight was yesterday raised to ? 1.75 per 100 pounds. Tlio rates on iniiiorLshahlo freight arc kept rather secret , the com panies accepting almost any sum for transporting such freight. Of course , tliis applies only to through freight , as all that .shipped to local points is charged for at the same rates as betoro the war commenced.
