I have tried so many doctors , and spent every dollar I could raise and.now , if you will cure me and wait until I can make the money I wijl pay you. " "And another thing to annoy the legiti mate physician is the popular sentiment , which , If wo don't take the case and invest the money necessary to place the described ease under correct treatment , sends up a howl : 'Oh. thesiAniserablo doctors are not fit to bo men I' " llNo , I can't say that It Is specially pleasant - ant to bo a physician in Omaha , until the po lice and press assist In educating the people that , all vho call themselves doctors arc not physicians.

The chapel is to hi built entirely out of the funds of Hrownel hall without any outside appeal for help am will bo u monument to the business energj possessed by the men at the head of the Insti tution. The growth und success of Hrownel hall is something unparalleled in the histor ; of western collegiate Institutions.

Tim former has buc encouraged to hope that ho will select it I preference to Omuha , because the. latter wa successful in sci-nrhig the next national M E. conference , which is to be hold four year hence. Certain members of the church f the city , by way of equalizing the honor which the securing of the conference an the appointment of n bishop hoyo conferre upon this state , have given 'oxpresslo ' to the Idea that Lincoln Is possibly entitle to the Episcopal residence. Thu idea doc not universally obtain , however , because I U fell Drat the selection of his placj of res dfiico Is u matter which should bo loft to th bishop alone.

Wo hope tlio Invitation will bo accented. They would tnako such provision for the conven tion as to give It a grand opportunity next year. At the close of the services nt the Presby terian phurch in South Omaha this evening there will bo a meeting of the congregation to appoint committees on linancc , on church music , and a lookout committee. All mem bers of the congregation are eauestcd to bo present. Hcv. G. M. Brown , pastor of the Hanscom Park M. E. church , has Issued a neat little card printed in green , containing a list of Sunday and wcek-Uay exercises , together with a cordial invitation to people who are not regular worshippers elsewhere to make his church their home. Knnnt/o Place in North Omaha is one of the handsomest suburbs of the city , and has a class of well-to-do householders , who first lavished money upon elegant homos for their bodily comfort and arc now providing houses of w6rsliip _ for their spiritual welfare. Ono of those , the Trinity M. E. church , Is now so far advanced as to bo available for ser vices. U is located on the corner of Twenty- lirst und Hinncy streets. The structure is of brick with slate roof , and the walls are re lieved with galvanized iron in ornamental designs. The "building is somewhat unique in shape , the main structure being square , about llfty feet each way. The roof Is also four-sided , with its apex high above the center of the auditorium und without trusses or other in tervening supiwrts between the tloor and thereof roof Itself. The altar will be at the cast side with two recesses In the wall back of it , and the lloor slopes gently towards the pulpit , enabling members of the congregation to look ovur those in front of tliem. The main entrance is through an octagonal tower nt the northwest corner of the church. At thu south side is u lean- to addition for a Sunday school and class room. The partition between it and the main auditorium will bo mostly window , milking it possible to separate the two rooms or to throw them into ono for the purno.so of exercises in union. The church will bo handsomely milshod , and will bo n substan tial and convenient , rather than a showy structure. The lloor is not yet laid , nor has the work of plastering been begun , and it is not likely that the church will bo completed before September or October ; but , with the zeal characteristic of' their denomination , the Methodists have already talten possession of the unlinished structure. A lloor of loose boards has beonj laid in the class-room and about ono hundred chairs placed in It. From the rafters above hang large lamps. At ono end Is n temporary dais , at the other a parlor organ , wlrtt an oil lamp for the orgunKt.

A smooth slope of bright greon.dotted over with clumps of maple and box- aider , and bounded by a low wall of groy stone ; a heaving sea of dark green leaves with spires and gables in numerable peeping up among the bil lows ; rows and squares of dull , red brick ; a small forest of tall , black chim neys spouting up a light gray smoke ; broad , straight bands of drab with human flics , on foot and in toy carriages and cars , creeping everywhere ; then n broad valley of yellowish green ; n winding glistening river , burying it self in the sombre-colored bluffs , and over all the thin , purplish haze of a city's myriad chimneys. All this from the lower of the Omaha high school one of these summer days. You tiroIJ'ii ! feet above the river.

This is ono of the highest points in the city , and standing hero and watch ing the specks moving about Capitol avenue and the cable cars which spom to just creep around the corners wo can , to some extent , realize the tromonduous height to which the ambitious I'aris- inns arc puwhing their iron lower 1,000 foot above its base.

The grounds of the high school are over two hundred feet above the level of the river and though com pared with that from the tower the view is considerably limited it is sulllciently attractive and inspiring to entice to its volyety award and um brageous shnd6s hundreds of daily vis itors who snill the fresh upland breezes. It will probably surprise many la learn that at the base of the high school lower they are nearly a hundred feet below the grounds' of the convent at fifteenth and Castollar , which loom up 232 foot above the level of the river. The summit of the building a 150 feet higher is the highest pinniclo of Omaha's ambitious structures.
