Snm Jonus entered upon the third week of his revival ycstonlny nftornoon at tlio exposition building before an auilluncc of nt least live thuusiuut pconlo. His ser mon wns from the te\t : "Anil sallli unto htm , every nmn at the beginning doth set fortli good wlnu and lifter , men have well drunk then that which is worse ; hill then hast kept the good vvino until now , " was attentively listened to by tlio vast aniliciuH ! . iMr.ones suiil that tlio expnrieneo of a nlan serving ( Sod is llku that of the man at the feast ; thu worst part of his work comes lirst. On thu other hand the devil mtike.s a man's work pleasant at first and then lills his after life with misery and wretched ness. There can bo no neu tral ground. livery man works i- - - either lor Cod ! or against him. A moral man does not necessarily go to hell bo- ctinse ho Is not a member of a church. A man who keeps Christ's command ments is a Christian whether in the church or ont. As a rule , however , the revival ist claimed , thu men outside the church who claim to keep God's commandments are found to bo frauds at heart. Tlio Kvomni ; Sermon. The seating and standing room at the exposition building was taxed last night to accomodatc the aiidioncu that gathered to hear Sam Jones. The ministers of the city were well represented. Mr. P. C. llimobaugli spoke at some length upon the work that was being done by Mr. Jones and urgett the people to give him a cordial encouragement. Mr. Jones chose for his theme the nineteenth verso of the eleventh chapter of Proverbs : "As righteousness tendcth to life , so ho that pursncth evil pnrsuetli it to his own death. " Much of the ser mon that followed was given to forcibly drawn illustrations that would lose their weight by being transferred , robbed of the speaker's voice and manner , to cold typo. When a good man dsus , Mr. Jones held , he goes to heaven by the forces of spiritual gravity , with the approval of God and angels and the common consent of good men generally. When a bad man dies he KOCH to hell with thcsamo considerations. tain is a disease and will kill if not elimi nated from the heart the same as the virus of canecr will kill if not eradicated from the system. Nothing but the blood of Christ can take the virus of sin from the human soul. The speaker spoke of the several deaths that result from pursuing evil. The first is the death of conscience. Every willful sin is a direct stab at conscience , the sentinel provided by God to warn us of approaching dun- fiers. Mr. Jones , speaking on tins subject , took occasion to refer to the municipal and social lifo of Omaha. The trouble with the city is that its residents have stabbed its conscience to death. This is evidenced by the fact that they yearly spend $180,000 of blood money for thu education of their children. Thu great need Is that God shall como down'and break the tombstone from the grave , release - lease the city's conscience and rid the city of its sins that nro now running rampant. Mr Jones asserted that the ministers of Omaha are responsible for every gamb ling house , saloon and den of vice in the city until they have raised their voice ngainst these sins. The follower of sin not only kills his- conscience but he kills his power of resistence , his power to sav yes for the right and no for tlio wrong. Finally the follower of sin kills his own soul and is eternally lost. Mr. Jones closed bv appealing to his hearers to turn from the pursuit of evil and seek salva tion. tion.An An interesting after service followed the hcrmon. Mr. Jones will speak at tlio First Presbyterian church at 3 o'clock this afternoon and at the exposition binding to-night , AMUSKSIEXTS. 15sincrnldn Revived Saturday Nlit ! nt Itrownell Hall. There is little in the exhibition room of Drownoll hall to delight the eye , because it is dilapidated , dingy and old. It is tolerable erable , however , because of the pleasant associations which are so inilissolubly connected with it and the usefulness itt has subserved in t'.io cause of fonialo edu t cation. It has been the scone of many u well-pleased audience , not the least pleased of which was that which on Satur day night witnessed the presentation of the little drama of "Ksmoralda. " The gathering was mainly composed of adults , though it was considorablyamplittudwith a collection of small humanity , which added greatly to the pleasure of the oc casion. AH the characters in the play , male nuil fonialo , were sustained by young la dies of the Hall , and those who were se lected to enact thu male characters , had little hesitancy in iipnearing in male coats and vests , witli facial requirements of fiido-lJiirns , beards and mustaches , The usu of the Jatter adornments re sulted In an array of as handsome young men as over assumed the haino roles in the .standard productions of the piece. The revision adopted was that which , several years agoappeared in KeribnerX which contains thu story without the sun- imlieation that characterized its pros , dilution on thu stage , it contains the Bimnlo-hcarted old Kogors , thu vixenish Lydia Ann , the persecuted Ksmcralda , the doting Dave , together with tlio other minor characters necessary to thu un folding of thu tale. Miss Itoyro , of i'apilllon , assumed Old- Man Kogors with nnnarkablo ability. Miss Castettar , of Ulair. unacted thu un grateful character of flydiii Ann with commundablo success. The horoinu , Ksmoralda , was swoutly plavcd by Mii > s Hullovvay , of Papilllon. Miss ( iaiidy made a vtiry interesting D.ivo , whiluMiss Itoo assumed thu happy character of Ksta- brook with exceeding satisfaction. The artist , Jack Dosniimd , wns intelligently personated by MUss H. lUiekworth , while the mercenary Do Montcsain was sir 3iigly interpreted by Miss Duckworth. The Desmond sisters , Nora and Kate , wcro cast to Miss Hall , of Omaha , and Miss r > Clark , of I'nnillion , and were chnracter- ly.ed with exceeding grace and charm of manner. As the speculator , Drew. Misa Saumters had not much to do , but shu ilid it well. Miss Durguss of Plattsnioiith played the maid acceptably. Thu performance , sis a whole , considering thu circumstances under which it was produced , wns a { join. The setting of thu t > tagu for the Desmond fitudio was artistic , duapitu thu limitation rendered necessary by the suu of tlio room , Thu credit of the production belongs - longs to Miss Armstrong , who superin tended the work , The MittflO Cup. "You jvro just in tjtnu to sep tlio most Jtuigliablo play you xiVcr saw , " said u gentleman to the HF.K reporter as ho entered the opera house last night. "It is positively the most enjoyable enter tainment 1 have attended in Omaha. " When the DEE man took his seat the audience was in a roar , and the applause but intensified the remarks which the writer had heard at the door. "Dr. Faust's Magic Cap , " a head adornment which is left to Andreas Pinipernnss , is responsible for the humor in the ca o. It comes to him as a legacy , when other heirs are dis missed with money. When worn by him , he tells truths unfavorable to his hearers , yet most entertaining to his aud itors. When ho dofl's his cap he is just as sychonhanlic as any of his friends. It would bo impossible to describe the iieasuro which this peculiarity nfiords , t is amiily sustained by Mr. Danreh , who on last iiiulit achieved as greitt suc cess as was ever entertained in the same business in this city. Mr. Koch made an excellent old cam- uaigncr , and in thu later Kngltsli , Mr. Pills made quite an entertaining fop. or dude in the Hiovalier Don Silborjmllel. Mr. Denieke made an excellent Harna- has Kici ) M.T , while Mr. Sehinltas .Schiill'clmmiu in his various ways , espcc- 'ally as Mercury with Ins hastily Im provised wings , evoked hearty applause. Of the ladles , nnthlnir may bo said that has not been already published. Miss Haiireis was sweet and acceptable as she always is , and lire. Pills , for the first time in some week * , was enabled to do some excellent soubrelte work. She did It also to the satisfaction of thu audi ence. On next sunday night this admirable company will produce "Das Wichtul" odor "Km Gutcr Hanspoist. " This is a most entertaining piece in four acts by Fran/ Von Schocnthan , inlersposed with a number of pretty vocal pieces. Tins company plays , by universal dc- mand of he citizens of Lincoln , in that city on Thanksgimng and Friday even ings of this weok. TUB I'KOl'l.K'S THKATKIt.

Sam Hamplc , the veteran comedian , wap assumes the role of "Jarvis" in thu "Lights o' London , " is the original of that character in America. Mr. Hamplo played the part on its lirst presentation at the Madison Square theatre. New York , somu live years ago , and no has continuedto _ play it ever since. He is now thinking of chancing his name to Jarvis. Although Mr. Hamplo com mands a very high salary , he does not wear diamonds. The reason is obvious he has a wife and thirteen children to support. _ SPOUTING NOTES. The Tournament nt tlio Exposition llulldliiK A ClmllctiKC. The event at the exposition building Saturday night was the twenty-five mile race between John S. Prince , and Fred Shaw , of Glenwood , la. The conditions were that Shaw , should receive a quar ter of a mile start or two and a half laps. Defore the twentieth mile was passed Prince had gained the two and a halt Japs and in the last live miles gained two additional laps , amid the treniei'dcus cheering of tlio crowd. His time for the whole twenty-liye miles was 70 minutes and 13 seconds. The first mile was made in 2-17 : , the first live miles in 15:07 : , the lirst ten in 81:151 : , the first iifteen in 47:10 : , the lirst twenty in 03:17 : : Notwithstand ing the disparity in the powers of the two men the race was an intercstins one. Prince's tremendous spurts of speed at time served to arouse the wildest enthus iasm. The three-mile amateur race was won by Frank Mittaner of Omaha over I5en Fell in 8:10 : } . Fell second in 8:51. : The fonr-milo race was won by A. il Towson - son , of Cleveland , Ed ISulloek , of Omaha , being second. The latter would have won had he not fallen off his wheel. Towson's time was 10:38. : Bullock's 1-I8. ( ) : A CHALLINOI : . Yesterday Thos. F. Dlackmorc issued the following : " 1 hereby challenge any amateur bicyclist in tins city or state to a race for any distance from one to twenty-live miles or more , for money or medal. I _ would like to get a race with Lncicn Stephens ; and to encourage him to enter will give him one mile start in a C-iinlu race. T , F. BLACKMOKK. " TUP. six DAY itAcn. Prince announced yesterday that the six day race would bo pnstdoncd until one week later than already announced , in order to allow the bicyclists now in Minneapolis time to return ; uul take part in the race. ODDS AM ) ENDS. Stray heaves From n Reporters Note IIookH. "J agree with one of the gentlemen of the French Dartholdi statue committee , who noticed the snow on our pavements yesterday , " said a Farnam street mer chant1 and think some moans ought to bo devised for removing it. On a dirt road it would bo more or less absorbed , buton a paved thoroughfare , it has to re main until either melted by the sun or removed on wagons. Ho thought its lingering upon the surface would injure the pavement , especially the asphalt , and 1 think ho U correct. Besides , tno longer jt remains the nioi'o dirty and unsightly it becomes. " "I was sensibly afl'celod at seeing 'Clio1 at thu opera house , " said tin old theater goer. "I could not keep Hartley Campbell out of my head. for the first time , I noticed in the piece- a disposition to emulate Tom Taylor , Dion Honuicautt , and oilier writers of plujr. who havti hiolon ideas ami situa tions from earlier writers and in foreign tongues , Cumpbull had seen "Pygmalion and ( ialutea , " had learned of tlio beauty ot Yomee , had been in love with "Vir- uiiiius. " hud placed strong faith in the tlrawin" power of the ballet , and con ceived tliu idea of Incorporating into one piece a heterogeneous assortment of the c.v.si ! < .Ml , the melo-dramatie , the piutn- reaquu and the anatomical , Mich as was never attempted by a playwright. Had the poor fellow retained his mental facul ties , thu incongruities and disappointing features of Saturday night's piece had not been allowed. And yet , no playwright of this country , save the now miserable men tal wreck could ind > icu capital to risk itself in producing biich an abnormal production. If thu piece bu long-lived , tlie.ro is little hope that thu man to whom the honor belongs will bo over able to enjoy the fact.1 "Clio" the Cedar Apropos Rapids Re publican publishes the following Mate- incut : It may all'ord some interest to many of the largo audience who wit nessed "Clio" at the opera house last Tuesday night to learn that the play wns an original production from tlio pen of Mrs.v. . A. t'ulkeroon of tins city. From thu New York Mirror of l-Vbruury 10 , 1881 , wo liml this notice "Mrs. W. A. Fulkorson , the .Now York Mirror correspondent pendent at Cedar Itaplds , I.i. , has sub mitted a drama founded upon thu 'classics , ' to a Now York critic lor read ing. Tlio authoress herself has design on the title role. " That eritio was Bart- loy Campbell , who three weeks after sent Mrs. Fulkorson f 125 for the sann < , saying tliat it contained enough merit to com mand that amount of cash , Tlio original plot of the play Jias been clutnaca but little. The uiusio , scenery uuil. ballet wns added Inter for the proper produc tion. Mrs. Ftilkcrson is commended in her first effort ns a playwright ami should try again. The latest bit of local gossip , which is being retailed in n quiet way , concerns an insurance and real estate man , his wife , and the proprietress of n well- known dressmaking establishment of this city. For obvious reasons names nro withheld. The insurance man , it seems , is not a little smitten with the charms of the modiste , and she in turn , it is whis pered , returns his affections with a warmth not at all compatible with street rules of modesty. The wife had for some time suspected something of the sort , but could not secure proof positive of her husband's infidelity until the other evening. She had occasion to go down town one night and iii passing Hurt street she saw leisurely walking down that thorough fare , a man who , from a back stand' point , lookl'd f-trancoly like her hilsbitnd She followed stealthily , and looked again. Yes , she could not bo mistaken ; it was her spon o. A few moments later she was horrillcd to sen 1dm joined lira lady , the dressmaker aforesaid. The two talked for a moment and then walked hurriedly off together. The wife , "ficoing a realisation of her yispieions , deter mined to lose no time in acting. Site hurriedly walked up to the pair , and with one wild shriek , pounced upon them. The husband lied without cere mony , leaving the dressmaker in hand- to-hand eonllict with his wife. The latter , enraged to the highest pitch , scratched and bit and tore as only a jealous woman can. In the short space of three minutes , by a fast wateh , she had pulled out several hnndfnlls of her opponent's hair hud sadly demolished her personal beauty , and had completely wrecked n handsome and costly attire. The dressmaker linally made her escape , not so oed looking by several decrees as site had been a few moments before , but far wiser. It is said tluit a divorce suit is to be the out come of the affair , The newest device for shutting up the story-telling bore is a little card with the inscription : " 1 never did like that story. " It is the idea of an eastern travelling man and is said to bo even more effectual in its work thnn the "chestnut bell. " A party of men were standing in front of the opera house thu other day relating stories of various kinds and of all degrees ot veracity. Among the number was a soldier who had listened in silence until someone told a yarn concerning the won derful manksmanship of an ancient worthy. "Say , boys , " began the soldier , with a peculiar smile , "did you ever hear of tlio follow that shot tlio coon ? " They hadn't , and he continued. "I went coon hunting jast summer witli a comrade of mine who is regarded as a crack shot. In the course of considerable tramping we treed a nice .specimen of the coon family. My friend had Ins rille along , of course , and immediately bearan shooting. The eoon was in plain view , but he actually fired twenty shots withaut apparently turp- ing a hair on Ins eoonshin. Turning to mo ho said : 'Bill , I can't understand how I could possibly do such poor shooting. I aimed at his eye every time. Suppose you climb the tree and investigate. ' "I did as requested nnd when I got near enough I saw the coon was dead. I reached forth to take hold of him and found linn fastened to the tree. Guess ot my .surprise when , upon further exami nation I found him spiked to the trunk. My friend had actually piled one bullet on top of the other , so acurnto was his aim. The twenty bullets mashed together and formed a long spike which pinned the coon's head to the tree. Talk about shootin1. " Ho glanced up and ceased talking. His listeners had vanished. The M. ! 's New Kun. Yesterday morning and hist evening , as announced in Sunday's KKK , the sev eral trains of the Missouri Pacific en tered and left the city upon the Belt line , arriving at and leaving from the depot of the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha on the corner of Fourteenth and Webster streets. For the lirst time in many days they ran upon schedule time and in this respect wcro greatly appre ciated uy the passengers whom they nnd on board. The freight depot of the com pany was completed on Saturday last and will be thrown open this morning for the reception of goods. It will bo under the direction of Mr. Briggs , who will bo known as the local agent. Mr. Briggs was formerly associated with Mr. Oiisler at the Union Paoilic depot. South Oinnlia's Saloons. The trustees of South Omana have fixed the license of the saloons at that village at $500 per year. The saloon men are also required to glvo a $5,000 , bond to comply with the requirements of the terms of their license. Twelve of the twenty-one saloon men have already paid the required license , and several othois have signified their intention of continuing their business under the now order of things , A lively Jtiuinway. About 3 o'clock yesterday altornoon a horse , which hud been left unhitched on Sixteenth street , with a buggy , ran down Dodge nnd collided with a street car that was passing up Fifteenth street. The horse could not change his course in time to avoid a collision , nnd so smashed into the car , running his head through a window.

SINGING Poll CIIAUITY. Successful Kntnrtnliunnnt for the Itencllt of Charleston's Sufferers. The concert given yesterday nftornoon , under the nuspicesiof the Omnha Turn vcrein , for the bcnufit of the Ccnrleston sufferers , nttrnetcdsa largo audience. As a consequence , a handsome sum will bo realized. The programme consisted of a number of selections by the1 Musical Union or chestra , under the direction of Prof. Stcinhriiscr , and solos by Mas. Martin Calm and Conrad Schmidt. There were twenty-live members present , and their services wore rendered gratui tously by the manager , Julius Meyer. The iMusicnl Union Orchestra never ap peared to butter advantage than they did in tins entertainment. It contained n number of new members , n Inrgo per centage of whom .seemed to bo young men of excellent ability and exceeding promise. The result of cnreful , almost masterly training was noticeable in everything rendered. There was a great deal of brass in the composition , yet it was used only for the broader effects of shade in the more demonstrative of the selections. It wns especially ngreenbly to watch the work of each of the in struments In tlio body , work which spoke of comforting individual excellence , and then to notice the exquisite familiar ity with the score and the artistic manner in which all joined in the ensemble. Kvery piece was applauded most en- tliUMtistlcally , and were it not for the length of the programme , would have evoked an encore. An individual effort which was deservedly appreciated was thu cornet solo of Mr. II. Lota young man but a most prominent player , in the seventh number of the programme. Mrs. Calm's number wns most power fully and artistically rendered , and with so much success that she wns compelled to respond to a most hearty recall. " Mr. Conrad Schmidt was also encored.

Itcport of the Committee on Fire Test. The umlericned committee appointed to superintend nnd report on tlio difler- cnt tests of the HAUDKN CIIIMICAL : Vim : Ari'LiANCKS , on the Kount/.o lot , St. Mary's avenue , Nov. lOtli , do cheerfully .submit the following report : first Test , was chimney or Hue. 10 feet high and 10x13 inches wiilu ; inside thor oughly saturated with coal oil and tnr , and lillcd with dry lumber shavings. This wns allowed to burn for about live minutes , until nearly burned through. One quart Grenade nnd one tube broken at the base of Hue , subdued the lire in stantly. Second Test Structure was 8 ft. wide , 14 ft. high , sides -1x8 feet , lilled with dry lumber , kindlings , shavings , &c. , and whole covered with coal oil and tar. This lire was a very severe one , and allowed to burn until the whole wns a seething mass. At a given signal this wns put blttck ont in n few seconds , by the use of one Grenade and one Tube. Third Test This structure wns nn im mense ono , 10 ft. high by 10 ft. long , with 12 ft. sides and fillet ! to the top with dry 'umber , kindlings , shavings , &c. , and the whole structure covered with oil and tnr. This test was a terribly severe one , the llamcs rolling in billows , and rising from 30 to 40 feet high. When the lire wns at the hotcst thu signal to put out was given , and in less time than it would take to tell it , the whole structurewns a blackened nnd charred mass , the ma terial being burned to a depth ot over i an inch. This test wns subdued with ONI : of the "STAK KxTixuuisiir.ns" (5 ( gal. ) with 12 ft. of hose attached to pump.
