Hint ; Down the Utirtnln.
The investigation of the affairs of the
Christian Homo lias eome to ; \ close , ami
there remains nothing but the finding of
tlio trustees. The faet lias been fullv de
veloped that it lias been n private institu
tion owned and controlled by .Mr. Le
mon , who hns all thn property , the as-
socintion being in possession of nothing
of real value , and having no power to re
move Mr. Lemon , or interfere with his
work. He has boon really responsible tone
no religious or charitable organization ,
and therefore it was for the public to de
termine whether it wanted to continue to
support him in his efforts to build no a
private institution , into widen the public
money goes , but over which the public
has liul : no control. The condition and
management of the Homo have
been fully shown m > by many wit
nesses whose statements on other matters
at least would be readily received. So
far as the finding of the trustees , so-
called , are concerned , it will have little
effect uponthe , public either wnv. The
evidence has been given so fully that
each is able to judge for himself as to
what the Christian Home is. The board
as a board has shown itself quite willing
to give the public a full chance at the
facts of the matter , and Mr. Lcmcn can
not certainly claim that he has not been
given every advantage. The UKB having
aired up everything fully is content to
leave the matter with the public. It has
performed its duty simply in acquaint
ing tlie public with the evidence , and it
has faith in the good .judgment of that
public.
The board yesterday wcro in consulta
tion all day. It seems that they could
not agree on any complete statement of
the lindings. It was a good deal like
trying to lind a compromise verdict , and
when it cnmo to putting this compromise
into words , instead of expressing it in
dollars and cents , as can be done by the
ordinary jury , it proved a ilillicult task.
The members of the board have had a
hard and perplexing task , and the thanks
of those interested in the Home , and the
thanks of the public is due to them for
the patience sliown , and the apparent
willingness to lay aside all pcrtonal
prejudice so far as possible. That some
members of the board were thus
prejudiced in Mr. Lemon's favor is well
known. They were human , and could
not lay aside this prejudice altogether ,
but no one desires to intimate even that
they were not honest in their intentions
at least.
THE FiNinxn.
The undersigned members of the board
of trustees of ( lie Home of the Friendless
association , convened for the purpose of
investigating certain complaints made
against tlie management of the Home ,
submit the following report :
First. We find some foundation in fact
for the complaints made , but in our judg
ment the trouble has arisen largely on
account of a lack of means and proper
facilities for carrying on the work , and
not , because of willful neglect on tlie part
of the manager and matron. We find
mueh dissatisfaction with and opposition
to the management existing in tlie minds
of a number of individuals in this city.
As a result of this the work is being car
ried on at a great disadvantage and its
MICCCSS is rcnilered doubtful.
All property rights , title and control
heretofore vested in Rev. J. ( > . Lcmcn , of
his , own free will and accord , has been
this day transferred to the trustees of the
Home of the Friendless association.
The trustees are not in a situation to
carry on the Home work under any cir
cumstances , and as early as practicable
will take fetich stops as arc necessary to
ward the transfer of their trust.
In the interests of the orphan children
now being cared for at the Home suffi
cient time must bo taken to act advisedly
ami justly. Until such time as they are
otherwise provided for we earnestly urge
continuation of contributions for their
maintenance.
Wo solicit , the counsel of Christian
ladies and gentlemen who arc interested
in tlie orphans , that we may do that
which is best for the children in the
Home.
We rpcognt/.o the fact that Mr. Lemon
has made an earnest effort for humanity
for which he should have duo support.

Aluilo Suddenly u Countess. <
Tlio many friends of Kate Larimer
James have had some curiosity to know
how it was that she chose for her stage
name s a member of the Strakosli com
pany , Catherine Van Ainhem. The
special telegram published in the BKE
yesterday explained this very fully , The
family hero knew nothing of Count Van
Arnliom's death until they road It in yes
terday's HKK , They had little more to
add to the information mude public.
Judge Jiunoi and Mrs. James were in
formed by their daughter some tune ago
about her meeting the count in Franco.
The count by inquiries found that they
were distantly related , and Mrs.
James conlirms the statement
that hbc was from the Van Arnhem stock ,
her aneesters being from Arnliem , Hoi-
land , tlio home of the count. The name ,
as spelled by Mrs. James , was Van
Arnham , and tlio count , after satisfying
himself of the kinship , nnulo the offer
that if the songstro&s would take the
name of Catherine Van Arnhem , the
name of his wife , win has recently died ,
he would will her his estates , and she
should have the title of countess. The
iiuiuu was adopted with the slight change
of spelling as desired by the count , iiy
his death , therefore , this Council lilulls
girl not only bceou'es heir to a largo
estate , but becomes a countess , She
some time since became married to Cap
tain W. A. Strong , of Cliicago , and there
makes her home. The family hero had
known all these facts for some time , but
have kept quiet about the expectations
until now tlioy are made public by the
douth of the count.

will make low prices On them till t hey are

Progressing Slowly.
The Coffman case continued yesterday
in tlio district court. Much of tlio time
was taken up. in the technicalities and
discussion of line points ot law. . Very
little evidence was elicited , and like most
that has proceeded it there was little to
M&is. . * si
excite much Interest except for those Im
mediately concerned. There hns not
been ns strong a showing for the state as
ninny expected. Tlio defense now has
its turn , unit ills improving it well.
( } . A. Tryou , who kept the restaurant
where Myano was shot , testified to thn
details of the tragedy , and instead of
picturing the two men as being far apart
when tlie shooting was done , said they
wore in clo-'o contact , or at least not
more than live feet or . o apart when
Coffman shot , thus supporting the claim
of the defence that Uoffman wa in such
near position as to necessitate his pro
tecting himself from further assault of
May nu.
Lnoch Lewis , city marshal of Angus ,
In. , to-tilled to having known Maync for
three years. His character was bail.
Summer Normal.
The summer normal of the Western
lowacollego will commence July B , and
continue eight weeks. This will afford
teachers nn excellent opportunity to re
view any or all the branches of the
teachers' course , before examination.
Particular attention will bo given to
spelling , writing , reading and physiology
in accordance with requirements of tlio
new law.
Superintendent Laird informs mo that
ho will lie glad to have anv ono who pre
fers to do so take this review instead of
the snorter ono offered at the county
institute , and ho authorizes me to say
that he will hold an examination nt the
college the last Friday and Saturday. 27th
and l8th ! of August , giving each applicant
bencllt of full time employed in study.

Extra Attraction.

man-American band for a promenade
concert as an additional attraction at the
carnival to-night.
Mayor Chapman Dying.
The sad news sped throughout the
city last night that John W. Chapman ,
the mayor of the city , was in a dying
condition. Such an announcement
came with little surprise to most of his
friends , as his condition for months has
been an almost daify fight for
life. His wonderful nerve power
has , however , kept him up and aboul
much of the time , but his fficblc condi
tion and his frequent confinement ut
homo lor days at a time have been sulli-
oiont warning of what the end must be
soon. It htisTjecn some weeks since ho
has been able to bo out of the house for
any length of time. His trouble is can
cer of the stomach , with other
complications of the diirestivo organs.
Last night ho was conscious and
realized the approaching end. Ills phys
icians thought he might last until morn
ing , but hardly many hours longer. His
brothers , ono from Plattsmouth. Neb. ,
and the ether from Norton , Kansas ,
were in attendance , with the family.
Iho announcement of the mavor's condi
tion has caused much sadness "throughout
the city. In view of his condition the
city council held no session last evening.

That Door-HprlitK.
Detroit Free Press : He slid quietly
into n Jefferson avenue hardware store
yesterday afternoon , unrolled a paper on
the counter , and as he held up a patent
door-spring he said :
" 1 buy him two days ago , nnd I like to
exchange him for a whetstone. "
"What's the matter ? . "
"Vholl , I can't make him lit on my
screen door. "
"Why , that's the easiest thing in the
world. See hero : This end screws on
the door , and that end on the caning. "
"I tried him dot navy , und ho doan1
work. "
'When it is on you take this metal i > in
and turn thespring. See the holes theroy"
" 1 docs dot vhay , und my screen deerflies
flies open. "
"You turned the wrong way. "
"I turns him eafer.v way. Sometimes
dor door vhas wide open , nnd all dor llies
in Michigan go in , und sometimes he
vhas shut oop so tight I can't get in my
own house. I begin on him in dor mornIng -
Ing , nnd I doan' leave off till night , but
ho won't work right. "
"That's curious. What tools did you
have ? "
" 1 use a hammer nnd screw-driver und
cold-slnsel und saw und augur und crow
bar und lots of more , but ho doan' spring
for mo. My wife works tit him , too , und
my hired man he lose half a day , und I
vhas discouraged. I guess I trade him
for a whetstone. "
"Well , I'll exchange- with you , but I'm
sure 1 can show you now to adjust it. "
"I guess I doan1 try any more. You
see my life vhas short , und I can't spare
mooch time mit machinery. If I get a
whetstone I doan' haf to screw him on
< ior turn him around , Deru vhas no
pins or ratchets in his stomach. He vhas
all right both ends oop. Maypu he
doan1 keep oudt Dies , but he makes no
troubles for mo , "
The exchange was made , and the man
wont away light-hearted , calling back
from the door :
"I can make oudt a whetstone all
right , und I vhas obliged mit you. A
whetstone winds oop only one vhay "
