The dedicatory services In connection with the V. M , C. A. occurred Tuesday night In the now bulldlnsf on .Sixteenth street. The lurgo concert hall , capable of seating CM persons , was filled to Its utmost by a highly respecta ble audience of Indies nnd gentlemen. T. H. Taylor , president of the association , oc cupied the chnir , and upon the platform wcro Kovs. Louis ftxlmor , rector of All Saints' church , WiUard SuDtt , Detweilor and Clcn- dcning. The laymen present embraced Messrs. P. C. HimcbAUffh , Janitor , J. L. Kennedy , O. P. Stawnrt , . ! . A. Duinat , ( Lin coln ) , Nash , stsito secretary ; U. M. Hlttih- cock , Mayor Urcatch , and other prominent citrons. President T.ivlor in a few well chosen words welcomed the audience to the now building , and solicited their countenance nnd practical si.iiort to the management of the institution. The well known hymn "Coronation" wns then sung , after which pra.vor wns offered up by the Uov. T. C. Clemlonttlng , who was followed by Kov. Joseph Dctivcillcr In a scripture reading , after which Kov. U'illnrd Srolt en caged In an eloquent prayer. Miss Pcnnell thoroughly tested tnc acoustics of this hnll by singing Allen's "House of Prayer" in her us ual artistic manner. This f eng is n simple little mot , and in Miss Ponuoll's care It was Invested with n beauty of expression that would bo wanting in many vocalist's rendi tion. J. L. Kennedy , Lc.ivitt Uurnham , Mr. Nash and others inndo short nddresses. Mayor Hroatch in rcspom.o to n call from the'chair , spokes as follows : Owing to other engagements I was unable to visit this building during the days upon which the gcncr.U public was received. It wns upon last Saturday evening that I paid my llrst visit , nnd to say that 1 was delighted with thondmir.iblo arrangements , iinduniimo design would feebly express what 1 felt. 1 sauntered Into the ofllco and was Micro met by gentlemanly ushers whoso duty it is to welcome all strangers nnd by u cordial greet ing make thorn fuql nt home. 1 was shown through the parlors , so elegantly and gener ously lilted up by tno ladles of our city , and , indeed , 1 understand the entire furnishing of this building is their gift. Woman IH fore most in all good works , and can always bo counted on the side which labors for the bonulit of society nnd in the in terest of humanity. Your secre tary kindly took me to the upper lloors where I found a completely equipped gymna sium , and a class of young men exorcising under an Instructor ; I was also shown class rooms whuro it Is proposed to give instruc tion In modern languages , and the moro use ful studies necessary to a young man who would enter upon n business career. IZc- turning to the llrst Moor I found that the lawyers of this city had mot in the lecture- room , and formed a Hur association ; and , us the surroundings were pure and healthy , wo will hope that with so auspicious n begin ning , it will continue with credit to Itself. I nin advised thut there are only six other buildings in the United States devoted to the work of the Y. M. C. A. , which are equal to this in size , value nnd complete ness of its appointments , and these in larger , older and wealthier cities than our own. This is certainly something to bo proud of. It was in a sense an enter prise which , to my knowledge , suggested an other in the elegant structure across the way. As thn exterior suggested an imitation the spirit within will set an example for young men to follow. There Is a general impression that to become a member of the Y. M. C. A. n young man must bo very re- religious nnd belong to some church. It is supposed that he must attend daily prayer meetlncs and in. the reading room devote himself to the perusal of sacred books. In my conversation with your secretary ho stated that the work to bo accomplished was four sided social , physical , intellectual and spiritual , it is proposed to give a high order of concerts with an admission.fce so low that any young man can afford to take with him a sweet young lady nnd have the additional cnjoymeiitofhersoclety. Wehuvorcadmuch of late of the scarcity of young men at social gatherings , said to bo caused by the severe drain upon a depleted purse. To the young men I say , hero is your opportunity , nnd any sensible girl will apprcciato tno situation. The physical side is cured for in the gymna sium into which you are admitted by the payment of a membership fee of only $10. Considering what is furnished , this fee is ridiculously low , and is but a small sum in comparison with whut is charged in such places as Chicago , where the management conducts the gymnasium for profit. Tno lecture-room is designed to develop the in tellect , where an interesting course of lec tures will bo given , and to these who prefer the spiritual , work-rooms are provided free from Interruptions. What struck mo was the remark of Mr. Allen that all tills could bo done at one tlmo , with out interfering with one another , and ns there is no compulsion to attend ser vices , and a perfect freedom from restraint nothing could bo moro desirable for a young man than a membership in this excellent in stitution. An institution of this kind is an advantage to pur city. Taken from a busi ness stand point no better investment could bo raudo. Any work which has for its object the moral elevation of a fellow being is a good work , and deserves the encouragement of all. Certainly our merchants nnd bankers are vitally interested in retaining in their employ young mon of good Habits. Their clerks occupy positions of trusts , and should the clerks fall to deserve the confidence of his employer the latter might suffer a pecu niary loss. There Is scarcely a busi ness man in this room who cnnnot recall instances of n late date whore an employe has been discharged for dishonesty. There are in irtany of the estab lishments of this city from twenty" to sixty clerks cmployod , and the majority have no place to spend their evenings. To such the pool rooms are open , and tlieso places offer ovary inducement to a joung man to chance not only his own but his employer's money. As one of our judges remarked only yester day , the law wiis inadequate to prevent this species of gambling. Hut n short tlmo ago a young man lost n valuable situation because he would not heed the warning of his em ployer to avoid the pool rooms ! The vlco had such a hold upon him ttiat he would steal away during business hours to bat upon un certainties. Some llrms maintain a system of espionage , and there is many a clerk whose habits nro perfectly well known to his employer , though ha himself is not aware of it Tlidro tire many other dangers besotting a young man who is n stranger among straimera. Wo know what they nro. No one can realize what a young man feels who is without friends in n strange pinco unless ho himself has passed through that experience. There comes a time when the novelty of his situation wears off , and ho begins to crave for society such as lie hud at home. If ho is fprtuuute , well nnd good , but if not , then I pity him. I huvo been there and I know what lie feels. If his character Is strong and his morals well grounded ho will come out all right , but if ho is weak nnd Inclined to bo yielding he will need the pro tecting care of just such an Institution as this. I am informed that the theory upbn which the Y. M. C. A. Is worked is that "Prevention Is better than to reform , " and the object Is to reach young men within n day or two after arrival in tills city. This , of course , Is best , and any institution striving to obtain such results should bo sustained. Mr. Gen- ncr stated that the lecture course would em brace some on political encouomy. I ho DO It will contain many upon municipal reform with utterance as bold and free as these I read in the North American Review not long ago upon that subject. I have always main tained that the bettor clement predominates In any community , but I am sorry to say that it Is only at long periods that it asserts it- gulf. It would bo Impossible for the lawless elements of society to obtain control of a city government were it not.for the apathy , and criminal iniffcrenco of the law-abiding people. The people are generally patient nnd long-suffering , but there comes a time when the burden of taxation be comes too great to boar , and a cry goes out against the wrongs committed. A little caru at the llrst would hava pre vented all this. I hope the lectures on po litical economy will cover this ground. Tbcso are questions which the young mon of to day will have to meet , and there is no better ulaco to debute them than the lyceum of the Y. M. C. A. What a care is lined front the mind of a parent , and especially a mother , to know thut her son , though in a strange city , has como under the influence of the fraternal care of the Y. M , O , A. Us associations , its influences , Its works are all for good , and no greater encomium could bo passed upon it. I reiterate that In the possession of a building like this our city has much to bo proud of , and to the generosity and indomitable energy of one wan we are really indebted for it. I do not need to namohliv , for Mr. Hitnobaugh in too well known to require an introduction. . I , In common1 with you nil , hope ho nnd his associates will live long to see the need of their plnntlng expand , blossom nnd bear fruit to their labors.

The rumor circulated at Fort Omaha some few days ago concerning the discharge of some of the men at the garrison on the 1st of January affects not only married but single men. Hy some mistake it was construed to effect only married men. The foundation for the charge lies in the complaints , or at least the reports on the rifle practice for the last season. "It was remarked that quite a number wcro excused from this duty , or it they did attend , made very poor scores. Upon , investigation made by tno company commanders , it was discovered that defect ive eyesight was the cause of the complaints , consequently an order will bo issued dis charging those men whoso eyesight is so poor as to interfere with the performance of their duty. _ The Direct Route to WnahrtiRton.

Neb AN EXPLANATION , Hundreds of customers to whom we have sold overcoats during the past few weeks , expressed their astonishment and inquired how it is possible that such garments can be sold in the regular way at snch figures. To those and to thousands of others who cannot understand this , and think that the goods must be inferior because we sell them so cheap , we will explain that the reason lies only in the buying. The warm weather prevailing for the last few weeks has been especially disastrousto the clothing trade. Manufacturers are overstocked and discouraged , and to realize cash they offer goods at ruinous prices. This is the chance for the wide-awake and large retailer. Our ample resources enable us to take advantage of such opportunities , and thus it is that we are now offering Overcoats which were made up to re tail at $15 , $2O and $3O , at one-half and less these figures. The over- whelmingsuccess which we have had with our overcoat sales , has emboldened our buyer , and induced him to make several big deals. We have opened during the past few days over 5,000 , OVERCOATS AND UL All from first class manufacturers. We intend to make just ns quick work with them ns wo did witli our first purchase , and i our former prices have created excitement , the figures wo put on this last lot , will do so still more. GOOD CHINCHILLA OVERCOATS , with heaviest serge lining.well made , at $3.75 ; other houses ask § S for such a garment. GOOD CHINCHILLA ULSTERS with plush collar and cufTs.liued with heavy oaisimcrovory , long cut mid an excellent storm coat at 84.75 ; regular this garment would cost about § 10. A lot of ELEGANT CHINCHILLA COATS , lined throughout with fine quilted satin , corded edge , satin sleeve lining and o excellent workmanship , we have marked § 7.75. This garment wo had i Vi intended to mark SO. but we made such a bis hit with our first $7.75 satin lined overcoat , and BO many customers were disappointed , within the last few days , at not gCtting it , that we have decided to mark this the same , though it cost $2 more. We challenge any house in this country to match us in that coat. We are opening every clay novelties in our furnishing department Yesterday we-got in an elegant line of Silk Mufflers and Scarfs for holiday trade.
