and minor happenings , bul nothing of
any particular magnitude lias occurred.
Progressive euchre will continue lo hold
Its own , and prizes will accompany it ,
predictions to Ihn contrary notwithstand

for a stake ( if it can bo called ) consider

strong argument in favor of the giving

valued institution of society , and with

excuse for existing.
Society ju.st now is covertly smiling at

somewhat violent and loudly expressed
for the Indies of good society , and who
is not satisfied with being allowed to give
parties alter her own fashion and at her
own sweet will , with or without prizes ,
a * her inclination or e\checquor may
suggosl , but who now rulllcs her plumage
and declares with an air of barnyard
hostility that she won't oven attend a
party where prizes are given.
This threat doesn't cnuso a reform

put-Mies its usual tenor. Tlio funny part
of it is that with what is no doubt merely
feminine in consistency , slio docs not
prohibit her husband from playing , and as
he always carries off the lirst prizes , their
cottage , by spring , will be qmto a bijou
place with tlio result of hubby's spoils.
Thi ? la an instance of some of the little
side play that adds variety to llio drama
of .social life.
The next event of interest is tbo open

parations are being made on a more than
usually elaborate scale , and the invila
tions are very handsomely printed on
ragged-edge shagreen.

Ono or the
OMAHA , Nob. , Oct. 0. To the Editor
of the BEG : It is worthy of note , and is
indeed lo bo regretted that nearly ono
whole day was this week devoted by the
leading Congregational ministers of tlio
country at DCS Moincs , la. , in discussing
the question of a belief in future proba
tion as a qualification for becoming a
missionary.
Here are these men , who are regarded
as the lights of the country , spending
tlieir tnno and that of those who heard
them in relieving themselves of a lot ol
ministerial verbosity about nothing. The
real question was this , as I gather it from
the report :
If a young man presents himself as a
candidate for the missionary work shall
ho be rejected if lie does not believe in
the everlasting damnation of all who die
or have died without an experimental
knowledge of Christ as a Savior ?
By the conservative element tliis ques
tion was emphatically answered in tlio
affirmative.
No matter how well qualified a man
may bo , his Christian character may bo
spotless and his iifo a'daily beauty but if
ho is not ready to say that ho believes all
those to bo damned eternally who have
not chosen to enter or have not had an
opportunity to enter the kingdom of
heaven through experimental knowledge
of Christ lie is rejected ; and tlio heathen
are left in tlieir misery and darkness. Ho
may believe the Christian religion to bo
Iho way of life ; ho may bo consecrated to
it and bo willing and ready to prcacli it
with all the fervor of his pure and en
lightened souls but no accepting an out
rageous dogma lie is rejected.
If a man's conception of the abode ol
souls that have cone to moot their God is
so profound that ho hesitates to Iry to
lift the sacred veil he is held to bo not lit
to preach the way of life to dying men.
And furthermore. Air. Editor , it seems
lo mo that llio time of our divines could
bo belter spent in devising methods by
which the thousands of broken hear Is
might be bound up and words of cheer
spoken to tlio thousands all around us
who seldom hoar a friendly word or feel
the life-giving influence of a kindly
smile.
Not ono in a hundred of our minister.-
really believe the dogmas they contend
for when together , but they scorn to think
they must uphold them because they have
been settled by authority. Settlcdl Yes ,
bottled in some instances by the toss of a
penny or the turning up of a gambling
card. I am a believer in tlio Christian re
ligion and a Congregationalist. 1 believe
that the Christian religion can be pre
sented to and accepted by men anil
women because of its truth and beautifulness -
ness and holiness , and not because of tlio
terrors consequent upon its rejection ,
and 1 believe , too. that it is'a religion em
phatically for this world and this life
and the tnno must como when young men
and young women tilled with tlio spirit
of love will bo unhesitatingly sent outer
or allowed to go out. as teachers of the
Christian religion oven though they nro
not willing to try to roach out and rake
in imaginary terrors from another im
aginary world to enforce tlio teachings o :
tlieir holy and live-giving religion.

Nr.w YOUK , Oct. 0. It is at exactly
this time of Iho year tli.it society takes
those impressions which fashionably
mould it for the ensuing season of winter
gaiety. Its manners and olotlios are now
lo be formulated , and according as Ihcy
are shaped in October so they will re
main during Iho noM four months. Now ,
from whom do you imagine we are about
lo receive such potential inlluoncof You
couldn't guess in a thousand times 'try
ing. Tlio three models L would call
them the llirec graces , only lliat tlio dar-
pors among you might rctortlngly dub
them dis-gracos are women whom an
English prince and two English lords
have severally picked out of a
multitude of London beauties as lovely
beings. They are the Prince of Wales'
Langtry , Lord Oarmoylo's Forioscue
and Lord Lonsdalo's Qameron. Will wo
accept them into sooial companionship ?
Bless yon , no. They arc hero on public
view ; they are so English on tlio highest
authority that wo know , and you shall
see how wo imitate them in action ,
and . that
speech gowns. Alaok-a-day
only a few of us can bo supremely nappy
in also conforming to their physical
characteristics. Fashions change in the
shapes of women as well as in the out of
tlieir iramonts , and the trio of London
exhibits illustrate fully the typo of
physique that is approved by aristocracy
in London , and lliercforo the one that is
most ardently desirable in Now York.
Let me describe the ideal. She must bo
above the medium height , with an. erect
carriage and nuceiily poise of the head.
These points have boon made by the
novelist jfor their heroines time out
of mind , and are not novel. Tlio singular
demand is th.it she shall Im-o wide ,
square shoulders and a slim waist. Note
the diHiculty. Her framework of bono
needs to bo large in order to providetlio
amplitude of shoulders , and yet her lower
ribs must stick close to her spine so as
not to ilistcnd her waist. In Langtry ,
Fortescuo and Cameron we find this
oddity of configuration , and in uoithor
case is it largely duo to tight lacing. In
other words , the belle of Ibis season's '
adoration must Iiavo the suggestions of
robust , healthy , out-door living British
girl amalgamated with tlio fragile ,
willowy , hour-glassish Parisian maulon.
It is too much to ask , but they do demand
it , and happuis the girl who can respond
satisfactorily j , , ,
The inannemtqnght by Ihcso exponents
of London deportment are similarly liar
monious. iKpcak'nowof tlieir stage con
duct , of coursoA and tliero they are

Please to observe that Mrs. Potter's
enunciation was not tlio drawl of a Dun
dreary , nor the exaggeratedly broad
accent of : i Seven Dials cockney , but a
really pleasant modification of the best
American utterance , and just what will
be considered proper in New York.
"Did yon see Jim flirting with tlio
girl second from this end of the chor
uses ? " her companion asked.
"Hah , yes , " she replied , and slio prac
ticed tlio present method of speaking out
in a crowd loudly enough lo bo heard ten
feet away , for that is considered a mark
of self-poise , "and I know an awfully
giggly tiling on that subject. Jim is a

The Viunslujig. jLady is Iho wonder ol
tlio town. Slnfwas invented by Duatici
do Kulta , a Paris conjuror , and she has
boon performing ; at the Eden theater
there. Slio WftlsV } ! puzzling tlio publio In
London and Berlin. Tlio secret of her
illusion has been kept in those cities , and
scientists have * written theories about her
as learned qndlj conjectural us these
which Pee doyj.eto } the chess automa
ton , The inveiitfjr has an agent in Now
York to sell her at a hundred dollars per
copy. Ho has made a dozen sales. Every
purchaser is astonished by the simplicity
of the trick ho has acquired , and puzzled
anew to command the manual skill to
utilize it. Dexterously performed , the
feat is like this ; The necromancer ap
pears in full dress. A pretty girl ac
companies him. Ho talks to her pleas
antly while he moves about the btaj o
and presently he picks up a chair. Will :
seeming carelessness ho places it in about
the middle of the stage , on iw open news
paper. The girl seats herself , assuming
the ordinary , womanly , restful position.
From a table he takes a largo picco ol
foulard silk , a fabric not transparent , bul
sufficiently soft to show the form ol
the girl after it lias completely enveloped
her uud the chair still talking , ho in un
instant lifts the veil. Tjio girl is not
there. Tlio chair b left exactly ns il
stood before she sql in It. the newspaper
is beneath it , precisely as it was placed.
S'o sounds have been heard in tlio mean-
lime ; tliero is no darkening of the stage ;
oven the silk covering has shown no
shrinkage , bill preserved its form up to
the moment it was lifted by the fakir.
How is it done ? Very simply. Every
body correctly guesses that a Imp is
ued , bul Iho investigator stops there ,
defeated. The chair , the newspaper , the
trap , the confederate below the tneo ,
and a blight , slim girl , are the things
that are used. The chair Is not , as it
looks , an ordinary article. It is of the
Jie.ivy , old-fashioned mahogany kind ,
without rounds , thickly nphoKtcred on
the scat , witli an open bark. It is so
built lhat.by louchingaconcoaled spring ,
tbo scat is made to drop down fiom Iho
rear on a hinge , leaving tlio girl five to
sink down the trap , which is manipu
lated by tlio confederate below the stage.
Thcro being no rungs on Ihe clinir , the
girl has an easy job. When the illusion-
is ! has seated lier lie throws over her
head the silk veil. At the moment she
fools herself completely covered , slio
works another spring , which causes
a thin wire framework to rise up from
the back of the chair and spread itself
aboul her form , thus preserving undis
turbed the outlines of the cloth , ami do-
cuiving tlio audience into tlio belief that
slio is still -seated. The mystery of the
open newspaper spread under the chair ,
to kill any suggestion of a trap , us even
simpler. Tlio paper has been dcftjy cut
RO as lo contain a trnp-ouoninir in ilself.
It is so handled by Ihe operator as not to
reveal llio slit , and when ho gathers it up
after the trick , ho is careful to fold it
partly at least. His own work consists ,
first , In spreading tlio newspaper so that
the trap cut In it shall cover exactly the
trap in the stage ; and , second , in setting
the ohair precisely over both traps. Ho
ought lo bo olover in lalKlng , lo dlverl
llio spectators' attention from both
newspaper and chair , and Iho more
ho speaks of Iho absence of a Irap Ihe
boiler ho can puzzle llioso who are watch
ing him. Of course , he cannot submit
either tlio chair or newspaper to Inspec
tion. Tlio trap used iu the stage is the
ordinary demon's drop , of good size.
After the girl 1ms passed through , the
confederate below the stage puts Ins hand
up and springs to its place the hinged
scat in the chair. Then ho raps , and the
illusionist above knows all is ready tor
him to pull away the veil. Ailded mys
tery is gained by making the irirl run out
into the auditorium as MIOII as she 0111.
A neat slight-of-haiid man can nl.-o
cause the veil itself to disappear up his
sleeve after ho has lifted it.
The vanishing Indy is a multiple actress
of sudden renown , and she must submit
lo critical exposure. FHANKHN FILE.

[ ll'rCMcnor the Omaha SiimMiTtcc.l
Nmv YOHK , Oct. 0. The result of tlio
prize fight between Daufortli and Warren
surprised a coed many experts here , and
a lot of money changed hands. 1 know
a man thai bet $1,000 lo $000 that Dan-
forlli would bo whipped. Of course , the
"draw" decision lost him his money.
Warren's supporters offered bettor odds
than this , and most of the wagers were
two to ono in his favor. The \yay Iho
light went was surprising , considering
the poor showing that Daufortli had
made hero , and the way ho was battered
around in Philadelphia. He hasn't
jumped much in my estimation. Warren
lias dropped. It will bo well for both
these feather-weight champions lo slir
themselves for tlieir now match , and
imiko it apparent thai one or tlio other is
entitled to Iho title which botli have so
calmly laid claim to. The now light will
take place near this cily for § 1.UOO a side.
Frank Ilearld's stock has gone up
again in tlio pri/.n fighting market. Joe
Lannon , of Boston , lias agreed to meet
him for a largo purse in private , and John
L. Sullivan has agreed lo act as Lannon's
second. It is hard to say if Sulliuan will
stick to Ihis agreement , but in any in
stance it shows that tlio champion deems
lleurld worthy of consideration , and that
lie doesn't thing it a bad sliamo to si/o
him up. This light will bo with skin
gloves , and as Ihore is liltlo likelihood of
tlio police stopping it , thorn will bo an
opportunity of Ilearld's real merit as a
lighter coming out. Lannon is a clever
sparrcr , and lias a , record embracing a
long line of victories. Then ho is anxious
to get the big purse and st.tko for which
tlio match was made. .Sullivan smiled
when a remark was made that llyan
would give him n good fijrht.
'I would just like to have bim alone
once , " ho said grimly , "I guess lie
wouldn't care to lalk so much about
fighting. " When asked if ho intended
sparring with any ono boioro ho slartcd
on Ins tour wcsb , Sullivan said , "I don't
think 1 shall. I will rest quiet at bit , for
there is no money in fighting the small
fry around here. Hearld is about tbo
only man cast that would draw a house
and its not sure that 1 won't meet him. '
Sullivan's opinion of Hearld seems to
have lakcn a riso. Sullivan has been
amusing himself lately by traveling
aboul and booming athletic entertain
ments with his nresonr-o. Some of them
paid handsomely , and the champion was
not forgotten.
It may bo published on fair authority
that Iho long talked of and often post
poned match between Jack Fogarty and
Joe Ellingsworth will take place after
all. Botli men have nested the $1,000
stake , and there will bo a $1,000 purse
subscribed by club men. The doubtful
part of the story is the posting of the
1,000 stake. Ellingsworth lias not tlio
money , and is not likely to get it. Fog-
arty may or may not have it. It is not
improbable , however , that the men may
light for Iho added purso. It is common
nowadays to battle for paper stakes , and
divide the ptu'se or gate money. 1 guess
both men would bo willing to fight for
ijl.000 , the winner to gel tlio larger share.
Among the knowing ones it is is thought
thai Ellingsworlb has little show of win
ning.
Jem Smith , tlio English heavy weight ,
thinks that it is a good thing lo adverliso
ahead of lime. Instead of sending out an
advance agent as the circus people do ,
and "posting" the towns before tlio cir
cus starts , ho sends over a lot of lei tors
and challenges. His latest is an oiler to
light all comers light or heavy , giving to
preference to John L. Sullivan , whom lie
hays ho is willing to meet for from .fO.OOO
to $10,000 a side. He lias made in addi
tion to tliis a number of minor challenges
in which oilier heavy weights are men
tioned , and as they were all issued about
the same lime , it Is apparent Unit Mr.
Smith has little doubt about his ability to
go through America like croton oil , and
sweep everything before him , His match
witli Kinston , the " 81 Tonnor" lie seems
lo regard as if a trifling moment.

all previous ellbrts during the

Madison Square garden for ( lie season at
the enormous rental of $18,000 a month.
Within that mammoth striietu.'o ho will
give the Wild West performances upon u
now , original ami unique plan , the open
ing entertainment being llxud for No
vember 31. It will eoht him ! ? 60,000 before -
fore the curtain rises on that eventful
day. Matt Morgan , the famous artist , is
engaged In painting the scenery , and
Steele Alaekayo is arranging tlio stngo
ollbets. Thcho men are { wing paid $1,000
each a week. The interior of the trardoii
is being reconstructed , and will liuvo a
seating capacity of over eight thousand.
The stage will be 180 feet wide and 4bO !
feet deep about as largo ns : m Omaha

THK riitsr ACT
of the Wild \ \ est ilrninn , according to
the. indoor programme , will represent
the Indians of America as they were
.sl iliscovered. They will have no lire
arms , tlieir only weapons being the bow
and arrow. They will bo appropiiately
costumed , and will go through their
sports , and giyo illustrations of their
habits.
IN THI ; sr.coxn ACT
there will bo an emigrant train of twenty
wagons , drawn by o\eu , mules and
hones. There will be over 200 men ,
women and children to represent emig
rants. They will proceed around the
track anil linallv go into camp. The
loams will be unharnessed , the tents put
up , lires lighted , supper cooked , and
everything done exactly as it was in the
days of crossing the plains botoro the
railroads spanned the continent. During
the evening twenty young men anu
women on horseback will give a Virginia
reel for the entertainment of the rest of
the cam ) ) . Finally all retire for the night
except tlie guards. Late in the night u
little lire is seen in the distance , appar
ently twontv or thjrty miles away. 'It
keeps growing in si/.o and coming closer.
Buffaloes , elk , deer , wolves , rabbits mid
other annuals , represented by profiles ,
are seen running away from the

coming closer , until at last
live animals Buffalo Bill's trained herd
of buH'aloes , deer and elk are intro
duced , taking the place of the profile rep
resentations , and llioso live animals
scamper over the stage. The emigrants ,
who have all been roused from their
slumbers , set to work to defend them
selves by setting a bacK-liro. The women
are screaming with tnoir children , as Iho
situation looks liopeless. Finally the
whole train is burned
apparently up--
men , women and children , teams and
wagons. The curtain drops upon tills
most realistic scene , which cannot provo
otherwise than a revelation to the public.
It represents a war between man and the
elements , something which liaa never bo-
lore been given upon such a grand scale ,
IN Tin : TIIIHD Acr
the curtain rises upon a cowboy camp on
the prairie. Horses and cattle are seen
grazing aronnil the camp. The cowboys
lasso the cattlerido , their broncho horses ,
brand the animals , and do everything
that is done on a cattle ranch. This
scene closes by tlieir going to sleep. The
next scene opens with a band of Indians
approaching to attack the camp and lo
steal horses. The cowboys are awakened
and a terrific battle ensues , during which
the Indians fire burning arrows into the
cabins in hopes of setting them on fire.
THIS Fouimi ACT
opnns with a scene in the Black Hills , rop-
rcsnnting a mining camp. A stage drives
up , the mule teams are changed , mid
aitor supper the journey is resumed. The
stage is soon ' 'held , up" by a band of six
highwaymen from the mining camp.
These highwayman go through the
usual process of robbing the the outfit.
Tliis robbery takes place at a wild spot
in a mountain gorge. The Btago soon
reaches another mining camp just as a
hororo storm is threatening. Two im
mense clouds como together and a cyclouo
is the result. This cyclone apparently
sweeps the stage coach and mules , the
passengers and the mining camp out of
existence. The coach is blown away in
the sight of the audience. The minors'
cabins are wrecked and the pieces ate
whirled away through the air , which is
filled with Hying sand and debris of
every description. The mechanical
clluots of this bconu will cost 5.000 alono.
