Reca preached at Broadway Methodiht church yesterday upon ' 'The Duty of the Hour , " from the text : "Woo to him that buildeth n town with blood and establisheth a city by iniquity. " In opening ho referred to tlie contest in the coining election and the moral interests involved in the supremacy of the two parties and their candidates. Continuing ho said : "I como to plead this morning for your support of a great principle in har mony witli God and man's highest good ; u principle underlying nil human great- iiu--i and inwrought into all character ; u principle which if violated hero works ruin to tlie body hero and to both body and soul hereafter ; a principle which if not obeyed threatens the body politic , and will sooner or later engulf the na tion in n fearful ruin , yi . : that of so briety and temperance. * ' Ho reviewed the contest by which prohibition became the law of the state and the elTcct being made to make it in operative and rc-cr.tablisli the saloon by legal processes. Hi1 did not believe th'o people of the state were ready to "go into parlner.ship with the saloon aris tocracy and build their cities with blood , etc. " "The duty of Christians , of every denomination , in view of the pend ing issues , whatever your politics may bo , is , I take it , to vote as you pray. You cannot vote for the saloon and at the same time consistently pray 'Thy king dom come , ' for the saloon is opposed to Christ's kingdom. " The speaker dwelt at length upon and eloquently described the work of the saloon , and -tho incon sistency in a Christian man voting for its continuance. "A vote for the saloon is a vote against the church , the home and native land ; against the fair fame of our state , its morals , its prosperity and its perpetuity. . . . The saloon provides nothing useful ; no garment to wear ; no food to cat ; no employment of industry ; no books ; no article for the homo ; no pillow for the aching head ; no joy for the breaking heart. . . . Shall wo transmit to our children a her itage of distilleries , breweries and sa loons , with liquor interests dominating in business , in politics , in the state and nation ? I answer , throttle it on Tues day next. Give it the death stab. Lot its heart's blood out on the street , as its allies did that of the lamented and bravo George C. Haddock at Sioux Cityt The Christians of Iowa are on their knees to-day. Can they ask God's bless ing on the liquor trulHcV Can they pray that the saloon may bo restored to town'/ Nay , verily , they cannot. " The speaker hero referred to the sltions of the two political parties upon the question , and quoted from their platforms. Ho then said : "I should not think it would take aehristian very long to decide which way to vote in the prcs' once of these two declarations. Wha1 does that clause meann : 'Opposed to ill. sumptuary legislation'/ ' " The speaker defined the word sumptuary and wild no one wished legislation that would re strict one in his expenses for apparel , food , furniture and the like , us applied to prohibition was a senseless bugbear. Nobody proposes any such limitations on citizens. One party asks us to sub stitute a license law for our present lav and places the maximum license lit $ -500 Summarized , the proposition stand : thus : Money vs character , money vs property , money vs happiness , vs homo , hope , heaven , vs the salvation of the soul , vs principle ; or thus , if you please : The saloon vs a mother's prayers , vs a mother's tears , a mother's hope ; the sa loon vs the home , native land , against God on the throne. What side will you take'/ take'What What a spectacle Council Bluffs pre sents to-day. Law defied , men sworn with the solemnity of an oath to guard and uphold the sanctity of the law in league with law-breakers. The open saloon , in defiance of law , selling liq uors in broad daylight and the otllcers of the force powerless to prevent it. I tell you what's the matter. The fathers of Council Bluffs nro asleep ; eo are the mothers. The rum power will bo out en masse on Tuesday to intimidate and buy men. Let every patriot , every lover of his country , every person inter ested in the name of our city and its fu ture men and women bo out on Tues day to aid and encourage men in their struggle for a great and grand princi ple , and may the Lord God thwart the enemy of the homo and give victory to the cause of the right , " Rov.

A flro alarm -wa3 turned in from the transfer about 2 o'clock yesterday morn ing. The department hastened to the scene and found the center of the Union [ Pacific repair building in llnmes. The railroad omployps had their hose laid Bnd vrntcr on as the firemen took their places and soon had the fire under con trol without laying any of the city hose. The fire originated in n box of oily waste that is usually emptied every night , but was overlooked Saturday evening. The cause was undoubtedly spontaneous combustion , as the benzine and oil render it very combustible. The lire was confined to the lamp room , where it started , BO the loss from that MHlree was not extensive. Considera ble damage was done by water , but the main loss was caused by the heavy black smoke from the burning oil and waste. Every room in the building was com pletely filled with it. and everything was covered by it with a thick black coat. One end of the building wa used as a store room for Pullman sleeping car furnishings , and over 8,000 pieces of linen and GOO bed blankets received the same inky coating. The total loss is variously estimated at from $2,000 to 5.000 , but cannot bo exactly told , until it is known whether or not the stains of the smoke can bo removed from the textile fabrics. A black stripe across them would ruin them for their present use , and aa the blankets cost $6.00 apiece the loss on them alone would bo consid erable. The company's lire equipment prevented n much greater loss as the situation is so remote from the center of the city that considerable valuable time must necessarily bo consumed by the city department in getting there.

Don't "Want Itrlck Paving- A short time ago the city council granted \Vickham Bros , leave to put in brick paving in front of their property on Fourth street. The property owners on the other side of the street imme diately raised objections to it on the ground that the brick paving would soon bo full of holes and the travel would all be on their side of the treet , thus wearing out their block paving much faster and aiiojccting thorn to extra expense. The dispute culminated Saturday afternoon by un injunction being obtained against them by John Limit , temporarily forbidding the use of the bricks. Wickham Bros and the brickmakcrs are very anxious for the bricks to bo laid and the majority of the citizens want to see n fair test of it. The use of brick as a paving material would result in the keeping at home of a great deal of money that now goes to outsiders , as the main expense of the work now being done in thin line is for the ma terial shipped in here from other sec tions of the country. Much interest is manifested as to the liiuil adjustment of the dilllculty. Every one making a cash purchase of 25 cents at T. D. King & Co's. cigar store gets a chance in the annual prize drawing.

It was a surprise to many yesterday to see a largo force of men at work laying the block pavement on Fifth avenue between Fourth and Main streets. There was an oven larger crowd of lookers on than of workmen. It is well known that Council Bluffs is pushing improvements this season , but It has generally been thought that the rush was not so great but that all the needful progress could be made by working six days a week. The revela tion that it was necessary for public work to go on Sundays also was indeed a surprise. The men said the purpose was to get the job done by night. Further than that there seemed no rea son for the special haste. The incident will form a tnemo for the pulpits , and these batteries will doubtless be aimed at the offenders at no late date. THE OlllENTAIiIX NEW YG11K. The Life of n Chinese AVoinsii of the Hotter Class. Nellie Ely , who recently feigned in sanity so successfully in the metropolis writes : So far as known there are only fourteen Chinese women in Now York city. Of course these nine are married , ono is a widow , one an un married girl , ono a nurse and two anonyma. Although residents of the United States , they obey to the very let ter the strange system of law and cus tom which obtains in the flowery king dom , n system which strangly resembles the treatment of the qnoon bee in an apiary by her drones and workers. Five of those little women celebrated their marriage vows in China , two in San Francisco and two in Now York. The moment she marries , the mongolian damsel becomes the property of her husband n little more so than they do in America. Her spouse has the i privilege , as all husbands the world I over , to chide , scold and chastise her for her faults , and they assort that in cases of grave crime ho has the right to kill her. In his punishment ho may put her on what wo would call bread I and water diet , keep her locked up in a bed-room , closet or cellar , or beat her with his hand or n bamboo rod. In this respect the Chinese law is almost a fac simile of the common law which pre vailed In England and this country until about 1803 , and which allowed the husband to "correct" his wife "tho open hand or a light rod , " but not with "tho clenched fist nor n club. " Under this custom the average almond-eyed woman expects to be beaten with a regularity proportional to her queued lord H affec tion , and , like the wives of English "nuvvics , " regards the omission of corporal punishment as a sure evidence I of the loss of his love. I In New York the Chlnc&e famllv lives in the same flat or building ai thalir which the pator ftimilla.s does bushies1" . To the wife is allofori ono , two or three rooms uceording to lib wealth. From these she pratieally noor stirs , lilt hoi * her husband or servant does all the marketing and shopping. Still \u > r o , she must not receive calls from the other sex o.xceptiiig in rare eases when the husband proents1 an intimate friend. On such an occasion tlio visitor bows repeatedly , shnkes Ills own hand vigorously for a minute or two , titters the usual utereotyped remarks about the health of herself , family , cousin and friends , aud departs without having oneo looked at her nice. Where is the American who would do that ? She goes to no place of amuse ment and never walks upon the street. She reads but little , and that love stories , love poems and religious books. Hut she can generally cook. uen\o , crocket , embroider and "keop hou o > J miraculously. A dinner with MoKco , u leading im porter and baker at No. 8 Mott street .or with Fuong Hong Long , at No. fi , is an event which wilfrbcar comparison with a banquet at Dolmonleo's or tno HotT- inun house. The wife will take a doz en eggs , pierce them at either endblow out tlio contents , rollll them with vari colored and vari-llavored custards and jellies , heal the apertures and then when cooked , paint the shells until they are a nightmare or dragons , Hy ing grifllns and imi > ossiblo trees that ook like men and men that look like Itrees. She will open and bteam a Huh until the skin can bo removed \\itliout lobiug a scale and the bones without breaking the flesh , ft is slutted with an aromatic and pungent mass of meats and spices. Then the skin is put bade and the eyes and head toilohcd bo as to bo half natural and half grotesque. Most of her culinary genius is expended onstowband made dishes. JTero Mio uses every article known the Pnri-iau chef and President Blackford of the Ich theophagous club and a host of food substances , spices and eodi- mcnts for which there are no names in any city of tlio European languages. Her skill in weaving and embroidering silk is equally great. With a needle no finer than which her Occidental sister uses she will construct a dragon an inch long and a half inch high , of which not only the teeth , o\es and claws are perfect , but oven the pupil , iris and cornea , , and the diller- enco between the inciborsand canines are clearly and natunilly defined. An ulUir-clolh of dragons in the JOSH hou-o at 202 Chatham square and a moving bcrcen of peacocks at No. S Mott street , are good illustrations of this marvellous workmanship , aud probably could not bo duplicated anywhere in Christen dom. dom.Lee Lee Chick San Chong , a merchant at 20 Mott street , captured by my smiles , consented to introduce me to his wife and her boudoir , , \\liich I supposed would bo as interesting US the woman. His store was in tlio" basement and bib wife lived on the Ihvt Moor above. I fol lowed my guide through a dirt v , nncar peted hall to a door at the fnrtiio.it end. lie rapped rather vigorously with his UnueKles on tlie portal , which had no outside knob or latch. After a while it was unlocked on tbe inside , ho pu-hed it open and wo stood , on the in side. Almost in tho. rear of flu : room , with some sowing in her hand , blood the woman 1 had come to sue. She smiled at her husband and looked at me without fear or * urprise. but as u babe looks at u now object hold before iN eyes. Lee Chick San Chong hpoKo to me in his peculiar language and then turning to mo wiid : "My wife. " An other moment and the little brown lin gers covered with rings were Hasped in my gloved hand and we were looking at each other as only two women can. What she saw is left to the imagination , but this is what 1 gazed upon with in terest. A little woman , not more than five feet high , with the blackest of eyes , which were larger and more open than the average Chinaman. She had the typical Mongolian face with a comnlox- tiou that , from the exclusion of sunlight , resembled bleached golden wax. Her blue black hair was combed back with out a part , dressed over the ears liljo an oyster shell and down the back of the head in u long oblong puff Gold rings kept it all in place , but it had the appearance of being souped to make it smooth and stiff. The forehead was extremely high and the eyebrows had a habitually surprised curve. The cheeks were round , dotted with charm ing dimples , the nose a little inclined to flatness but withal piquante , the teeth exquisitely white _ and beuuti fully shaped , and the lips either artificially dyed or naturally a rich carmine. With the air and look of childish inno cence , Mrs. Sang Chong was not bad to look ut. "la yourwifo .satisfied ? " I asked Leo Chick. ' 'No , she is not. She is per fectly happy in her homo lifo , having no other desire , but she is childless , the greatest affliction that can befall a Chinese wifo. Leo Chick is also very much disbatlblled at the rate bib family refuses to increase. After trying un successfully to adopt borne American child , ho has decided to take his wife back to China , and leave her there. lie will then procure himself another. Ho has already one wife in China and two children , but she refuses to come t < America. Lee Chick wantb an Ameri can for number three , and ho made tlio writer u proposal. He was told thai men outbido of Utah were allowed bul ono wife , and that if they were found U : have ono in Brooklyn and another in Harlem they would got into serious trouble. "Two wives in one room ii China no trouble , " was his reply. This is inconceivable , but it is true. Wit ! all their addition in wives , divorce mil infidelity are very rare. The wife most appreciated is she who finds use for the most personal names. Wo drank a social cup of tea from china cups about twice the size of a thimble , and aftei wishing ono another a "Kung He Fu Toi , " the equivalent of "I wish yoi great prosperity , " the interview wab over. It would so cm that women novel wear the breeches in the Celestial empire piro , but when 1 asked Leo Chick , ho sighed and wild that there wore just ah many hen-pocked husbands in the Orient "allee same Amelika.
