The event of to-day will bo the dedication

church. The bell , weighing a thousand
pounds or more , was yesterday removed
from the old church nnd hosted into place In

gather in the now church. This bell win

scriptions , cast in relief letters , as follows :
"Sancto franclsca Cnvcrll. Ora Pro Nobls. "
" Sancta Antonl do Paduc. Ora Pro Nobis. "
"Sanctn Maria. Sine Lnbo Conccpta. Orn
Pro Nobis. "
The flrst services In this church promise to
bo very imposing. There will be n number
of prominents present from elsewhere and
various societies , including the Ancient
Order of Hibernians from Omaha , Lincoln ,
Plattsmouth nnd other points. The visiting
societies will bo welcomed on the arrival of
trains by their brethren here , nnd escorted
to St. Joseph's academy hall , opposite the
church , where they will bo provided for.
The low. masses will bo said at the old
church. At half past 10 o'cloc\c \ the morning
services will open nt the now church. Ar
rangements are made to seat least one thou
sand people.
Both the exterior nnd Interior of the church
nro imposing. The high ceiling Is thrown
into graceful relief by numerous arches , and
Is supported by largo lluted columns. The
colorings nro very plcaslimlntheirblendingB ,
bright , attractive , and yet not loud or gaudy.
The light is abundant , coming through the
beautiful stained windows , mostof which are
memorials. A largo pipe organ Is being
built for the organ loft atn cost of $5,000 , but
it is not completed , nnd in its absence a cab
inet organ und orchestral music will servo as
n substitute.
The three altars wcro put In place this
week , and ycstorduy'tho minor decorations
nnd adornments wcro provided , and the car
pets and tapestries put in place. The main
altar is surmounted by the figure of St.
Francis Xavler. standing In n niche below
the cross. Ho is the patron saint of the
church. Ho lived about three hundred years
ago , and was n noted missionary to China. In
smaller niches appear carved ligures of the
four evangelists , Matthew , Mark , Luke and
John. A long panel nt the base of the altar
presents in ligures of bold relief the Last
Supper. Tlio altars cost $1.500.

The benediction of the blessed sacrament

n grandeur with tlio other exercises of the
ilny. A chorus of twenty-live voices , assisted
by Dalby's full orchestra , will render Hay-
ilcn's Third mass , which will be the chief
portion of the service. The chorus will bo.

the chorus. Much time and work has been
devoted to the rehearsals and drilling the
singers , soloists and chorus for this work
and those who hear it rendered to-day will
be fortunate indeed.
Doth AVant the Clilld.
The habeas corpus case by which Mr. Mc
Coy seeks to gain the custody of his littjo
irl , was heard by Judge Dccmcr yesterday
afternoon. The little girl , n bright pretty
child of ten summers , sat upon her mother's
lap , and wept frequently at the thought of
being separated from her mother. She
frankly told the Judge that she did not want
to go with her father. The man is employed
by the month on Mr. Ohlendorf's ' farm ,
about seven miles from the city , and the
evidence was to the effect that ho was n
hard-working man , lawnbiding and peacea
ble , although perhaps having a little quicker
temper than the average. Mr. Ohlendorf
deemed him capable of providing for tlio
child , and that ho would treat the child
kindly. Several of the police force were
sworn as to the reputation of the mother.
She had been in Mrs. Mctcalfe's house , on
Broadway , nnd had since been having rooms
in the Dnnforth block. Judge Aylcsworth
was also sworn as to her having paid a
monthly line ns a prostitute.
On the woman's behalf several witnesses
were Introduced to support her reputation as
a hard working woman , nnd of good reputa
tion. She explained her presence in Mrs.
Mctcnlfo's house by saying that slio was
simply working there ns a cook , and was
not an inmate. She admitted she
was renting rooms , but denied that
she was keeping nn improper place.
She claimed to have been supporting the
child , and that her husband deserted her ,
leaving her destitute. In the matter of pay
ing a line she paid Mio paid it under protest.
One of the striking features of tlio trial
was the reticence shown by homo of the
police odlcors in giving testimony. They
hemmed and huwed when asked what was
the reputation of Mrs. Metcalfc'h place , and
it was only wllltn good deal of hesitancy that
they would pronounce their opinion.
Miss Lulu Mercer was In company with
Mrs. McCoy , nnd seemed very friendly to
her. His honor concluded to hold bio de
cision until Monday ,
THE FUU1T OEXTKK.
O. W. lltittH TnllcH About tlio Handling
of Tlilg Ycnr's Crop.
O. W. Butts , of this city , is nt present In
California looking after the interests of 111 ?
fruit trade. He 1ms been appointed agent ol
the California Fruit union , for the largo ter
ritory of which Council BlulTs and Omuhn
are the distributing points. Ho expect ! )
to arrive homo the coming week. A late
issue of the Sacramento Dally Kecord-Union
has the following concerning him and the
tnulo : There Is no portion of the United
States more Important to the producer ol
California fruit than that embraced in the
district which will bo covered by Mr. Butt's
agKncy and the California fruit union has
been fortunate in securing an agent BO well
OUKlillcd to handle the largo quantity of fruit
thnt will bo shipped this scncon. As Sacra
mento is the natural and most advantageous
receiving and reshaping center of a great
fruit district , so Omaha and Council
Bluffs are admirable distributing points. .
Numerous lines of railroads lead In evori
direction , and fruit landed thcro Is qulckb
dUputchrd to the various thriving cities ant !
towns of the northwest , where there Is the
best possible market for our fruits , The
section of country siorth of Chicago produce. '
practically no fruit except tipples undbornrs
nnd our peaches , pear ? , apricots and uhcrrici
Und u ready sale tucro at gcovl prices.
Mr. Butts cainu to the const about twc
months ago , nnd h ns visited all of the fruit
producing beet ions and raado hlmsc.lt thor
oughly familiar with the crop prospects. Hi
says that In spite of all reports to the con
trary , tboro will bo n large crop of fruit for
bhlpuient this season , ami that the prospect :
are that It will bo of an excellent quality ,
"Thors has been a vast improvemuut dur
Ing the past two years , " said Mr. Butts , "h
the muniinr of slilpji'u' , ' fruit from tlio Pacltli
const. Tlio iroduccrs havnlcarncd to hundli
their fruit with care , to pick It nt the rich
time , and to HHCk'it in neat and nttrncttvi
packages. Then the freight service has licci
improved , &o railroad ccuipan ;
seeming to take art Interest In the business
nnd givincr much better facilities to the ship
pers. . An the volume of business increases
this will be still further improved , nnd the
rate * will bo lowered. The California Fruit
Union shipped nearly eighteen hundred .car
loads of fniit from hero last season , and the
time will come when ten thousand carloads
will bo shipped In n season. Long before thnt
time the railroad company can afford to run
special fruit trains every day , nnd for n less
rate than they do now. Wo have nn nlmost
unlimited market for California fruits In the
cast , nnd It Is only n question of being able to
lay them down there so thnt they can bo sold
nt reasonable prices , when they will become
n necessity Instead of n luxury. As I snjd ,
wo nro getting good scrvlco now. Fruit Is
shipped from ncro nnd arrives in Chicago
In four nnd live days' time. There has been
comparatively little loss this year in the way
of decaying fruit , most of the orange crop ,
having arrived in good condition.
"Sacramento is the greatest fruit-shipping
center In the country to-day , nnd h'W advan
tages that will always keep nor In the lead.
Located , ns your city Is , in the
center of the finest fruit-producing country
In the world , with splendid railroad facilities
for gathering In the crop of the contiguous
territory and forwarding It to Its destination ,
it must always bo thp real center of an In
dustry which Is bound to bo the lending one
of the Pacific const ,
"I have been in the southern part of the
state n good deal this winter attending to the
shluplng of oranges , nnd have noticed that of
late thcro Is a strong movement of the people
ple toward the central and northern part of
the state , I have never seen so many east
ern people in San Francisco ns during the
past few days , nnd mostof them seem to bo
Investigating the merits of this section of the
state. You have n great future before you

Fined for Neglect.
Orders of court arc usually obeyed , but
there are occasional instances of neglect.
Judge Dccmcr proposes that there shall bo
no foolishness in the matter of witnesses
obeying the summons of this court. Captain
Anderson , of the Merchant's police , was sub
poenaed to appear at a certain time , but he
over-slept himself and failed to respond in
court when wanted. The judge has had his
case under advisement for some days nnd
yesterday gave his decision. For this con
tempt the captain was fined § 2 and costs. Dr.
Bellinger was another delinquent witness.
Ho depended upon a baliitto notify him when
ho was wanted in court , but thcro was a slip
somewhere for when the doctor was wanted
he was not on deck. The judge lined him $1

The sewers are claiming n great deal of

paving had to bo removed to get nt the ob

with mud to the depth of nearly three feet
and the work of removing it is going on n
the various man-holes. Owing to the great
amount of the deposit it Is Impossible to remove
move It by Hushing , and the work of clean

A. L. Ja'cobs , Mrs. General Squires ,

Lho hoard at their meeting to-morrow ,

about it. Wo have stockholdcrs'in Chi

Wo number about seventy , and the
'salt of the earth' is represented in the
person of flvo louo men anfln superin
tendent , whom I must say'ls an excep
tionally good olllcial and a
nice man. What's the ere
worth V Hand-picked 'imulplcs ' hnvo
assayed $1,000 to tho' ton ; the av
erage is about $150 per ton. Wo hnvo

2,600 hnvo been sold. Wo hnvo no sal
aried ollicors ( except thb superintend
ent ) , and every dollar Jyo 'have ' taken
from the mine goes into it for improve
ment. Wo nro n milo and \ \ . half from
the Denver & Rio G run do road now , but
a tramway will bo constructed , by means
of which 'wo can load ere onHho cars for
20 cents per ton. W. H. Cowoll , owning
the Bobby Burns , a claim' nearly adjoin
ing the Sylph , owns 100 'shares of our
stock and is ono of the fortunate quin
tette of male biped who are allowed a
chance nt our mine. The ores are car
bonates. We shin to Lcndvillc , twenty
miles southeast of our location on Battle -
tlo mountain. Wo propose , inside of
the next three months , to push .tho
work forward an additional 100 feet.
Then , so wo are told , the claim will bo
worth at least $500,000 , and wo shall de
clare n dividend and send our hubbtos to
Europe on : i junketing expedition ,
while we continue to develop our great
western country. Shares in the Sylph
are $2.50 from this time forth , remcm- _
ber. In view of the expense and rich
ere almost in sight , wo can't afford to
take any less. The 'women's mine'you
may ho sure , is attracting a great deal
of attention. Like everything else the
weaker sex goes into , wo wore told that
women could not manage a mine. I was
determined to prove the contrary , if 1
took every share of stock myself , and
maybe I didn't have to work about n
year ago , when I took n leading part in
the organization of this mining enter

She graciously bowed her beautiful head ,
"Then I'll walk too ; 'tis a lovely day"
Thus I opened the ball in my usual way.
"Do you see the car behind I" Inquired
The April-face , "I'm n trifle tired. "
Juried a walk ; 'twas a useless suit !
She cently waved liar parachute ;
The stuo-taileit mule stopped quick enow ;
1 handed her in with a stately bow.
And the bell rang out with n Jangled
quirk ,
As the stub-tailed mule went off with n
Jerk.
Three men as she entered solemnly rose ,
And ( lulcltly trampled their neighbors' toes ;
A dudlsh masher left his place ,
And edged near the girl with the April-
face ,
" ' call "the Ico"
"Who sat on the side you'd
( With the same sweet smile she'd set on
mo } .
The day WPS lovely ; mild the air ;
The blty like the maiden's fileo was fair ;
The car was full and it triljo t > | ale
( Attached to the mule wlthi the stubby
tail ) ;
Yet the maiden preferred thq ijeat she hired
To tlio stroll with ma ; for 1 made her tired ,
. i
And now when the maiden walks the street
With another's llowcrs , and n nanllo so sweet
I wave to thb driver upon { ha itool ,
And stop the stub-tailed street-car mule ,
While I purchase n scut with ) ialf my pelf ;
For it makes mo a trillo tircd _ myself.

Boston Glebe : Little jNo having re
cently moved into tho'neighborhood ,
btraycd nwuy from homo ifaij far ho was
unable to find his way back. When his
absence became known itGruntedapanic
in the household , and lovcry member
started out to hunt for the little run
away , After searching for an hour or
two ho was found by an older brother ,
who said to him : "Nod , Neddie , you
have mndo n great rumpus. " At bed
time ho commenced his little prayer :
Now I lay mo down to sleep ,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep ,
If I should dib before I wake
( and , nftor hesitating n moment , con-
tinuet ) : )
What a "rumpus" that would make.
' Ho klbbed her -under the rose,1"
Is how the poet wrote It ;
"Ho kissed tier under the nose , "
Is how the printer got it.
P. S. A printer knows n good deal
more than n poet about the practical af
