La.'t evening in the opera hou e ser
vices \\eie held by the Salvation Army.
The house was crowded to overflowing ,
many per onf < bcinp compelled to remain
standing and the top gallery war nearly
tilled , A more promiscuous audience
never assembled in this city to hear the
word of God. It was composed of all
plii1 ! " in "oeiety rich and poor , male
ami female. There were gamblers , saloon
keepers , merchants , the rich and the
poor. Many , in fact the majority prcc-
out , wore there through curiosity. 11
was estimated by Manager Doliany that
1,000 persons were present. An admis
sion of 10 cents was charged.
The Mage was occupied In members of
the unity and recruits that nave been en-
lifted in the eily , the meeting being presided -
sided over by Colonel Dowdie , of Kng-
land. The . ' ervices consisted of prajing ,
singing and short talks , in which the s > in-
ners weie invited to seek salvation.
To-night in Doliany's old opera house ,
on Bryant street , the recruits of the army ,
who have joined it in this eily , will be
sworn in , and an admission of 10 cents
will bo charged.
Colonel Dowdie will answer all ques
tions to night that may bo handed
in to him in writing , in re
gard to the workings , etc. , of the
Salvation Army , as many erroneous
ideas and rumors are alloat , in regard to
the same. This allernoon at ! > o'clock in
the Baptist church Colonel Dowdio will
give a lecture , at winch everybody will
be welcome. _

"Sister Dora. "
There was a large and very attentive
audience at St. Paul's ' church last even
ing to hear the lecture civcn to young
ladies by the rector , Rev. T. J. Mackoy.
He sharply rebuked that unfortunate and
foolish state of social life , winch resulted
in girls being brought UP with a notion
of doing no practical work. The society
young lady was given a polite educa
tion , could play the piano , paint plaques ,
do fancy work , but had no practical aim
in life. It was too frequently the chief
aim ot such a life to get married. Such
a woman was more of a help-eat than
a help meet. The husband's income by
her evtravaganl and unwis-e management
was more of an outcome than an in
come. This aimlessnci-.s of life
was frequently not so much
the fault of the young women as
of those who had their training in
charge , and the fault ot the society with
whoso customs they sought to comply.
In order to inspire some thought of no
bler work and higher living the speaker
gave a briot but vivid biography ol Sister
Dora , a young English woman , who sacri
ficed much to devote her life to charitable
and especially hospital work. The work
accomplished by her was marvellousami
bho proved a worthy example for others
to follow. In closing ho urged the young
women not to wait until some great work
was demanded of them , not wait idly for
some high position to open , but to do
faithfully the li'tle ' , evcry-day duties.
There was plenty of work , easily found
for those who would seek. The
duty nearest at hand should be done
and would lead to their duties. Work ,
helping others , making the world Imp-
pier and better , such .should bo the aim.
They .should catch the .spirit of Sister
Dora , who even at the last shrank from
entering into the last re t prepared for
such a saint , because "there seems so
much work yet to no. " There should be
such an anxiety to work as to eau.se one
to even begrudge the time for meals and
lav sleep.

At the Congregational church yester
day morning tlio pastor , Rev. G. \ \ .
Crofts , preached an excellent set mon on
the text , "Take us the foxes , the
little foxes that spoil the vines , for oui
vines have tender grapes" lie pictured
very vividly scones in the vineyard , and
drew many practical Ies ons from the
growth of the vino. He urged his hearers
to beware of the .small sins and to cherisl :
the tender inipul.-cs. The lesser iins , tin
evil inlluence.s , wore especially danger
cms , as they were considered insigniti
cant and not suflioiently guarded against
The children should bo watched over a1
tender yine.s giving promise of muci
rich fruitage. They should bo guardeii
closely. In the elder persons every righl
impure , however slight , should bo cher
ished , and every wrong one promptly re
strained , Ho portrayed how the angri
thought when cherished might dovoloT
into the deed of blood , and how tlu
slight sin , if not thrust out , might develop
velop into some most grievous one. Tin
sermon was throughout a fruitful one
and numerous truths were taught eon
corning chielly the importance of littli
things.

There has been much speculation as
to the intention of the Council IHutrs
street railroad in putting on estra cars.
One of the HUB men yesterday in his
rounds met Win. H. Htirns , the general
agent ol the Union Pacific and manager
of the street railway , and asked what in
formation he t'ould give the public in re
gard to putting on the now cars and run
ning cars more frequent. He stated that
spine of the material for thrswitches had
not yet arrived , but if the weather would
permit he hoped as soon as possible to
complete the'.switches and sitlo tracks
and have the extra cars , that are now
here ready , riinnlnc before spring , and
as < eon as this can be done the car will
run oftcner and the entire length of the
track.
