WASHINGTON IIAIitj.
The Danish Soulcty'H Homoof Hrolh
crhno'l , Clint-ltynnd Amitirmcnt.
"Den Dansko Forcnlne , " or in Englisl
"Tho Danish Society , " was organized li
Ornnha on the 10th of January , 1872 , Tin
first nicotine of the association was held a
the old Turner hall on South Tenth In tin
evening of that day , and the society wa1
formally organized with a membership o
twenty-five Danes.
At that meeting C. C. Thrano was electee
president , J. Rnsmusscn vice president , N
M. Staboll secretary , and Julius Hanser
treasurer.
From the first the organization was t
healthy Inf.int , and grew In financial am
numerical strength rapidly.
The society wus organized solely for the
purpose of social Intercourse amongst It'
member * , but after n tlmo it was deemed
expedient to make It moro than n more so
cial club , and It was reorganized into a soda
and benevolent association , A weekly Indemnity
domnity of 17 Is paid to all members who become
como so disabled as not to bo able to pursue
their usual vocations , and in case of death an
assessment of $1 is innelo against cacli
member for tue benefit of the family of tin
deceased. In addition to this the society lw
contributed largo sums of money to the
worthy poor among thu Danes.
The social features of the society arc nu
merous. Once a month receptions , known
as "ladies' evening , " arc held , and in lulcll-
tlon to these numerous balls , amateur theat
ricals and kindred diversions arc given.
Oiiconycar.ln wintcr.tiioannualmasipior.ide
ball is given , nnd every summer the annual
picnic takes placo. The society owns u
library of over ono thousand volumes , em
bracing the works of all the leading Danish
and English author * .
Four years ago the society purchased a lot
on the southeast corner or Harnoy and
Eighteenth streets for $ -l)00 ! , nnd n year 111:0
sold the north sixty-six feet of it for SUO.OUO.
With this sum and a largo surplus in thn
hands of thu treasurer It was determined to
erect a society hull.
Messrs. Mendelssohn , Fisher & Lnmlo
wcro engaged to propara plans and specifica
tions , nnd the work of constructing the society
hull on Eighteenth and Ilarno.v streets was
begun early last summer. William Ncvo ,
P. S. Baltic , H. Tlioilg.iard , L. Sehibsbyo ,
II. Sehoubcr , Curl Ncilsen , William Nielsen
and Haus Larson wore appointed a commit
tco to look after the work of construction
The cost of the building was to have bcci
SW.OOO , but it was found necessary to use
? "iOOU over that amount , so that the hail
really cost the society S"iUOJ. la dimen
sions it is 03x10. } feet , and four stories in
height. The ground lloor is divided into
three storo-rooms. On the second lloor arc
the club and the cloak rooms , the library
the ofllcors of tlio society , the janitor's rooti
and the kitchen. Oa thu third Jloor arc the
dancing hall and the theater , while the
fourth lloor is taken up entirely by the gallery
lory of the thc'itcr , and the dnncinf ,
surfnco is "UxlW feet , and the stage 13
SiSxIU foot. It is the largest nnd most clc
gantly furnished Danish hull in thu Unitct
States , being even larger and moro costl.\
than the fatuous Danish hall in Minneapolis
The dining linll possesses u capacity ol fOl
persons. It is thu intention of the society to
icnt the hull at all times for respectable uur
poses. Politics tire not permitted to bo ills
cussed in the society ,
The hall will bu christened Washington
hall in honor of Uoorgo Washington.
The society now has enrolled 225 members
The present ofllcers are P. S. Hoicn , presi
dent ; D. F. Madscn ; vice president ; II.

SPIRITUAL ItRGGNKRATlON.
A Subject With Which the Kvangel-
IHIH Arouse a Ijar e Auilicnc1.
"Tho revival meetings arc growing in in
terest , " remarked a member of the First
Methodist church Wednesday niuht when
Evangelists Potter and Miller walked into
the cdiflceAV for the purpose of trying to save
souls.
The congregation was much larger than il
has been heretofore , and the remark above
quoted is quite true for the fervency of the
membership is being exhibited in the nddl-
tional number who participate in the serv
ices.
ices.Ono
Ono of the features of the revival is the
singing of Mr. Miller. Ho has a varied se
lection of hymns for each evening , nnd the
congregation is apparently delighted with
his singing.
"I want you people In the roar to keep
quiet whllo I sing , " said ho , when ho sat
tloxvn to the organ which was placed in the
imhut.
The meeting had just opened and the house
was pretty well crowded. Still the people
came pouring in , and there was considerable
stir among thorn near the entrance. This Is
what brought forth the remark. The con
gregation became quiet , and Mr. Miller sang
"I nm a Soldier of the Cross , " after which
Evangelist Potter stated that n blblo reading
would take place at the church this after
noon. Ho thanked the Dlvino Being , the
people and the press for the success with
which ho had met during his short stay in
this city. Ho also had a kind word for the
reporters and asked the congregation to pray
for them , The praying was done silently.
"Whoro's My Wandering Hey , " was the
next vocal number , by Mr. Miller. "
"How many of you will prny to-night
while I speak < " asked Mr. Potter nt the con
clusion of the song. "Raise your hnnd I"
Almost every hand In the house wont up.
Then the evangelist preached oa the subject ,
"Except a man bo born again ho cannot
enter the kingdom of God. " Jesus did not
sny ho should not , but that ho could not.
The speaker dwelt upon the now birth with
great emphasis nnd talked of the dnotrlno
of regeneration. What would it prolit n
man to gain the whole world nnd lose his
own soul , said ho. Ills reply was nothing ,
nnd his answer to "What is this now birth I"
was , "It is a spiritual biith. Souio say It Is
believing no matter what ynu may bohovo ,
so you bclievo with all your heart. No ; it is
a divine change wrought In the heart , till
the recipient can conscientiously say , 'I
know whom I have bolloved. ' it Is an entire
chnnjo ; change of purpose , hcnit , affec
tions and dcsiro , It is a sudden
nnd mysterious change. This now birth
is to bo honest , sober , industrious and to de
nounce error. 'Born again Master , what
meanest thoul1 Can n man bo born when ho
is nllvoi 'Tbat'Whlch is born of the llesh is
Jlrsh and thut which is born of the spirit is
spirit.1 Stop by stop this cnqutnur was led
from darkness to light , and Ho who had
been entombed arose aud said ; 'lain ho
who was dead nnd ain olive for evermore.1
Regeneration is n divlno change , and is a
virtue belonging to every Christian man and
woman. It Is a sudden change , when nil
things become now. If you do not oxperk'
cnco this change you have not salvation.
Got it ami you will see n glorious change.
'Ihcro will bo n second when you will
be save. ! , and there will bo a second
end whoa you will not , If you
won't , und pat it off , the wares of dark do-
spatr will sweep over you , and then you are
lost in the doop. There's no need of a soul
going out of ihU church to-nlght without
being saved. It will bo a delightful change
* ? you',4 TU ls , nj' terious. If you know all
about It -would pack iny grip nnd go homo
to-morrow , but you can't understand it until
you oxnerlenco it. If salvation is worth any
thing It Is worth accepting now , nnd you
will not regret it when you llnd you are
saved. You are convinced to-night. Won't
The evangelist then related an incident of
an old man with a head of gray from the
frosts of many whiter * , wlio" lad bccniwcd

At the conclusion of his rcmnrks Mr
Miller nnd the choir sang1 , "Aro you ready 1
thbUcnth Angel Should Cnlll" While till
wa beinpsunir Mr. I'otter asked those wn
were scoklnp Christ to como to the altar.
"Como fast all these who want him llrst , '
shouted ho between ono of the bars of thi
music.
About n dozen responded to the Invltntloi
and knelt nt the nltnr. The choir sani
"There Is n Fountain Filled with Ulood. '
nnd n number of little girls paced up to tin
front with tcnrs m their eyes.
"I don't see how vou can resist the Lord ! '
exclaimed Mr. Potter , when Mr. Miller nni
the choir emphasized their voices on the tltli
of the nbovo mentioned hymn. The conpre
gallon was nskod to pray for the convcrtci
ones and Mr. Hobluson did likewise for nil
After this there was more siiiRing nnd every
body wns ac.iln seated , nnd there wiw re
Joicing with the mi n i a tors nnd the converts
" 1 want every ono who 1ms n grudgi
npnlnst nny one to shako hands with the om
next to him , " said tl'O ' cvnneollst.
He wus npparently delighted , but then
was HtMo Immlslmkiutf.
"If there bo any ono In this house win

oilier denominations than the Muthodls

" \Vnko up the dcnd" was the next voca
number , nnd everybody was invited to sing
"if you don't slnp , " ejaculated Mr , Miller
who wns nourishing n hymn book nbovo his
head , "you will die of consumption.11

Joe Miller , nn old conductor on the Union
Pacific road , in Wyoming , was at the court
house yesterday spinning yarns with his
name-sake , the jailer. When n I3ir. man
Joined them they wore discussing insanity in
its vnrious phases. "Sheep herders nro the
worst people to go crazy I cvor hoard of , "
said the jailor. "I have had scores of them
here for ono or two nights at n time cnrouto
to eastern asylums , and generally they are
violent cases , "
"Yes , " Interrupted the other , "I saw ono
the other day brought down from' rancho
north of Choyonnc , and a moro petrified
sight than ho was could hardly bo Imag
ined. "
Jailor Miller attributes the cause of so
much trouble of that kind among this class
to loneliness and excessive indulgence in
dislpation. Away out on the prairie beyond
oven the sight of human habitation , tliov
find nothing to attract their attention or
interest them , soon become morose and
llnally go stark crazy.

the grain market is uncertain for Omaha buy

that the Union Ducilic was about to reduce
