The Maenncrchor consists of the leading German elti/cns , and is ns merry an orga nization , with as much good cheer constantly following us any such organization In the land. Last even ing was onoof their special occasions , and it Is almost needless to say it was an enjoyable ono to all participants. The hall was beautifully decorated with holiday adornments. The early part of the evening was spent with music , which forms so im- l > ortunt a part of the society's enjoyment. Then there wus dancing and refreshments. The chief merriment wus , however , centered In a Christmas tree. It was a beautiful one , brightly lighted and heavily laden. There are about two hundred members and the tree bore fruit for each one. The boughs were loaded with mysterious packages , each bear ing a certain number , and each member was plvcn by chance a corresjionding number. When the tree was all lighted , the distri bution of the gifts was In the charge of L. A. LJergumn and Antono Kink. There was much fun caused us package after package was given out in response to the calling of the numbers , and full grown members found themselves in possession of dolls , trumpets , and various novelties. Among those who held a number which wus not called out was Captain L. Kirscht , the president of the Macnnerchor. Ho was most happily sur prised on finding that a special gift was re served for him us a closing. It was an ele gant ebony cane , with a richly chased gold head on which was very nicely engraved , "Council H lu flu Maenncrchor to Its Presi dent , L. Kirscht , Jan. 1st , lbS8. " The engraving wus done by Mr. Greyer , a young man who bus much skill. Captain Kirscht was taken completely by suprise. Antono Kink made a very fitting speech of presentation. He alluded to the fact that Captain Kirscht was one of the oldest mem bers of the society , and the manner in which he had served as president had endeared him to all. A brief acceptance was uttered by the reci pient , who was duly appreciative of the honor conferred , and the good will expressed. A season of merry making followed. The evening was a bright ono in the history of the Maenncrchor , and ono which will be cs- spcclully remembered with pleasure by its worthy president.

The New York Plumbing company has been making It decidedly warm for II. W. Tilton , of the DEI : . The company has lilted up his residence , No. J527 Fifth avenue , with a complete system of hot water heating. The use of steam is well known , but the idea of using hot water , in place of steam , is com paratively now. Many huvc been watching the result of its introduction in this city with special interest. The recent intense cold has given a line opportunity for putting the sys tem to the test , unit it has stood it grandly. It takes a fellow a little time to get used to the novelty. The old inclination still lingers to rush up to some stove and indulge in an enthusiastic poking of the fire. Ono wants to see something burning to convince himself that the cold is being energetically fought. Then if ono leaves a door open into another room there comes up the old inclination of indulging in a shiver , and speedily follow it by a sharp lecture of the culprit. When ono don't feel any shiver and has no excuse for blowing off his wrath , there is a feeling of disappointment. There is no place for the dog or cat to crawl under a stove and take un ull day's roast. There are no warm cor ners for anyone to selfishly monopolize. The tired ncwsguthcrcr looks in vain for some place where ho cun perch his feet higher than his head , and toast them. All of these little changes in one's habits are quite marked , but ono finds much consolation for their loss. The heat can bo made Just whatono wants , quickly and surely , and can bo sent all over the house. It goes where it is sent , and no sudden wind , or treacherous crack , can turn it from its course. It holds it own , and keeps the even tenor of its way , day in and night through. It's a moist heat , and there is no keeping of tin cans full of water to prevent the air from drying up. Then with coal at $11.50 a ton it is cheering to know that all of one's income is not going up the chimney. It matters not In wliat part of a room ono is seated , there is warmth. There is no need of nervousness over defective flues , or falling stovepipes. In fact , it comes as near the per fect , silent , self-acting , safe and sure system of heating us any that has been thus far dis covered. Llko steam It requires skill and care to have the system put in , and arranged prop erly. Hatched or cheap work , will make much trouble. The New York Plumbing company bus already established a reputation for understanding its business , and attending to it. The result is that the residences which they have furnished are giving no trouble. When once put In properly the hot water heating is us simple to run ns an ordinary stove. With the results of this season prov ing so satisfactory , the company will find it self crowded with orders for the comingycar. Insure with Wadsworth , Etnyro & Co. Guns of all kinds at Odcll & Bryant's , 504 S. Muin St. Real Concerts. The Apollo club , of Omaha , Is making ar rangements for repenting in this city the ser ies of concerts which they provided for Omaha. The continuance of this plan depends largely on the support given to the enterprise by the musio lovers of this city. The llrst conceit is to bo given at Dohuny's opera house on the Oth , Friday evening , this week. The Apollo club has already a reputation which should cause the simple announcement sufficient to fill the house. As an additional attraction , the St.Cecclla quartet.of this city , consisting of Mrs. Wudsworth , Mrs. Evans , Mrs. Mocked and Mrs. Ward , will assist. Mr. Urigham will also take part , two solos being promised from him. With such a programme n rare treat is assured. If the enterprise la appreciated as It should bo the other concerts of this club cun also be scouted for this city , Sends Greeting. r J. G. Tipton sends greeting to his many customers nnd business friends at homo and tihrond , and begs to say to them that though ho has handled a great many thousand dollars of real citato the past year , ho is prepared to do a much larger business the coming year , and that any business in the real estate line will have the same prompt and reliable attention as in the past.

When foaled the only peculiarity about it was that it had very little huir on it , and its upper lip bucnied longer than usual with colts , mid was of a singular shape ; otherwise it was a well-formed colt. The hair , what there was of it , was a mouse color. When about a month old tlru colt's upper lip hud grown longer and assumed a conical form. Its upper lip has continued to grow until it is now eight and one-half inches long , nnd almost exactly like an elephant's trunk. t can pick up small potatoes and an- ) les with its trunk ( if wo may call it such ) , hut it cannot bend it sufllcient to enable it to put the apple or potato in Is mouth.
