Inombcrs ot Uio building conirrillloo of tlio
city council with rcpard to Uio stona tthlch
is to bo used on tlio auporstructuro of tlio
city hall , has led to some rather startling
disclosures.
A reporter who lias mn.do diligent Inquiry
Into tbo causa of discord has accidentally , as
'It wcro , stumbled upon some very curioui
facts.
An Interview with tno architect * disclosed
flio fact tlmt tholr prcfcronuo wns for a dark
granite nt tlio base and brown or rod sand
stone nuovo the granite.
Mr. Uoinilorlt nuld that the nurroumltncrs
had to bo taken Into consideration. Light-
colored stone in rook fncu llmsli would not
looit well after a tow years.
Mr. Coots , the contractor , also disapproved
of a light stone. "Horoa stone , " suld Mr.
Coots , * 'ls ' vorydurahlonnd has stood tlio test
in public bulldlnirs hero and elsewhere , but
it ought to bo dro.isotl , and not of rock-faco
finish. If wo have | { ot to use Heron stone ,
then there should bu no rod trimmings. "
"Is It a foot , Mr. Coots , inut iindor your
bid only two kinds of Kritnlta can bo used ! "
"Not nt nil ; they can use Syonito graulto ,
Minnesota , which It dark , or oilier granite
that Is dark , lint I am told that Uio com
mitted is sot mid unanimous for the Uoblln
granite. That's the only thing they're
agreed on , and If Doblln Rninito Is used ,
then Uuroa or souio ether light-colored , dur
able sandstone should bo used above the
granlto' Hod trimmings on wulto btoao
would look too slroakod. "
" do nil Insist Iobllu
"Why they upon gran
ite , Mr. Coots 1"
"I don't know why they Insist on the Deb
lln , but most of tno conn oil muii uro talking
ns if Uoblln must bo used. "
"Is not wrstorn granite just ns good ns this
Now Kagland qr.mltoi"
"Certainly , wo have used it hero and they
nro using it at tit. Paul , Minneapolis and
Denver on the best buildings. "
A member nf the building committee , who
was intorviowad on this subject , coiillrmod
tlio Btatoment that the committee xvas set on
Dohlin.
"Wo nro all agreed , " said the member ,
"that Uoblin granilo must be used in the
base ; and the only thing wo can't agrco on is
whether wo wlli Uao Korea or Portage rod
above. "
Upon further Inquiry the mysterious intlU-
onuos for Doblln were re.idlly dUooverod.
The man who represents Doblln granite in
this corner of the wild and woolly west is no
ether person than the notorious Paul Van-
dorvoort. Two yo.ira ago Vandm-voort ,
'whllo In charge of the oil rooms at Lincoln ,
came In very close contact with llill Stout ,
of penitentiary building fame. A mutual
friendship sprang up between the two that
resulted in u comp.ict by which Paul became
the lobby representative of Hill at the na
tional capital in connection with contracts
for public buildings. By dint of a good deal
of wire-pulling and $ & influence , a contract ,
for the congressional library was secured and
the material chosua was Doblin granilo. But.
some malign intlucncu upset the cntiro job ;
the contract w.is declared elf und Paul with
his Doulln received u black eye from which
liojHId not soon recover.
with this information tno ceportcr hail no
further need of inquiring whys and where
fores about the remnrkablo popularity which
Doblln granite has suddenly acquired in
.Oiimhu. _

that Mr. Gould was after presidential ma

Yesterday morning nt the synnROguo
of the Russian Jews on Capitol
avenue , between Thirteenth and Twelfth
street * , the services were very Im
pressive. The llttlo oaiflco was taxed
to tbo utmost to accommodate the devotees ,
men , women nnd children , who were In at
tendance , each bcliff attired In Sunday
raiment.
The Interior of the synagogue consists of n
lower floor and n gallery , the latter running
along throe of the walls of the building. On
iho door wore boys nud mon , the former
mainly seeking their parents , some of them ,
however , taking up positions with young
men , doubtless members of their families.
Ago predominated , not loss than fitly ven
erable gentlemen , with long grey boards ,
nf religious demeanor nnd aspect bnlng in
attendance. Every head was covered , some
wearing their street lints , others black silk
caps of the smoking pattern stylo. Nearly
every tiduli was enveloped In a mantle mainly
of white , with Btrlpesof blue , and of various
sizes. These mantles were drawn over tbo
head like a C.ipuctiln cowl , and foil thence
in ample folds over the body , the hands not
being encased In sleeves. Some of tlicso
robes were trimmed with heavy silver bul
lion , nnd especially on tlmt part which cov
ered the head.
Ucncath these mantles some of the wor
shippers were white garments of cassock
fashion girt around with heavy cords.
Thcrowas an utter absence of slloncn.
Everybody who felt so disposed talked to his
friend or road from his talmud nt will.
Ill thu services of the orthodox Hebrew
churches the sexes occupy different parts of
the synagogue , being separated nt least by a
curtain. In this Instance the women und fe
male childrcir occupied the gallery. Many
of them could bo seen over the railing but
all of them scorned deeply impressed with
the solemnity of the occasion and the cere
mony which was aboutto begin.
On the east side of the temple stood the
Uibornaclo resting upon an altar-liku struc
ture. From the top hung the veil of red vel
vet , above which were two largo characters
iu Hebrew signifying the beginning nnd endIng -
Ing of time , or of the world. Midway on veil
was n gold-embroidered star. Still lower ,
on a table In front of the tnbcrnaclo , rested
a candelabrum representing the scvcn-
brnnchod candel-rost of the temple at Jeru
salem.
In front of the latter table stood a second
one , around which grouped a number of
hoary , venerable and devout worshippers.
Two of thesosupported two frames enveloped
In crimson velvet , from the top of whicli or-
Lcudcd some magnificent pieces of Ivory
ivhiuh were beautifully cushioned.
The buzz of conversation nnd comment
ccnscs.becaiiRO a young man ships his talmud
several times with one of his hands und nd-
inonislies the gathering to preserve silence.
The silence is broken by the walling of n
: owlcd and mantled devotee who bends over
no table , as Indeed do all those around him.
To his voraiclo the others make a lengthy re
sponse , meanwhile moving tholr
heads forward aad backward from
the talmuds as If in grief. The
movements of the body like the
sounds of the chanters are funereal In the ox-
There in no distraction now. Every
eye la on the talmuds , and every tone Is thai
of lamentation. In the gallery , women
burst into tears , because the &irvlces are
memorial ones for the dead.

I'D lids JllN Pinition.
"I notice , " said Mr. W. E. Aunin , "thntnn
oftlcer , presumably connected with General
13roolie's staff , takes violent exception to a
few criticisms which appeared in a letter re
cently contributed by mo to TUB BEE over
uiy own signature , whicli described tno close
of the encampment at camp George Crook.
"i am rather surprised at this , because I
considered my article in the main
estiemely laudatory. I shall not , however ,
enter iulo controversy with any man who
masks himself behind a generic term.
If the uniinown officer who so precipi
tously rushes Into tlio arena with a pea ID-
Rtcad of a sword in his hand , will announce
bis name I will very gladly defend in detail
nny statements which I have inado , and
which were in every case urintcd over my
signature. I know nothing about lighting
behind breastworks. The newspaper field
Is one which calls for open und above board
controversy , and not for guerilla jay-
hawking.
"Tho criticisms made by me upon the en
campment had at least tlio advantage of hav
ing been derived from personal Inspection ,
and on the authority of army oillcors high
in rank and of long experience. They were
based on facts , and as such will stand tlio
test of dissection. Such being the case , it
is puerile , not to say ungenerous and cow
ardly , for this masked knight of the sword
and quit ! to attriDuto a personal mo
tive to tholr origin and to accuse
tno of publishing them because , as
it seems , General Brooke had some
tension with the post trader at Fort Robin
son , who happens to be my brother-in-law.
That such a relation exists was not his fault ,
and that such a relationship , which Is the
only one which docs exist between us , hap
pens to bo the case , had nothing whatever to
do with an honest , a fair aud a lust criti
cism , couched in gentlemanly language ,
which TUB Bun had a right to expect , an
which I could do nothing else tuan give. "

atose condition with unliquidated claims for
campaign expenses , amounting to $77. This
claim was held by Ernest Stuht , wlio also
bad possession of the only asset of the club ,
a ling polo of huge dimensions that had boon
purchased for ratification purposes. The
question of paying Mr. Stulit'c claim came up
at the nicotine last hlght. Mr. Hascall said
bo needed such a polo as the ono owned by
the club Joe use in building a towar , and
Intimated that ho would paya peed deal moro
Limn thd value for the particular polo la
question , and suggested that It bo put up at
auction. The suggestion was acted upon and
John Butler selected as auctioneer. The
bidding was lively between Air. HusciiU and
Mr. Stuht. Hascall wanted a polo aad Stuht
wanted his claim paid. Hascall started the
bid at 510 and was Jlnally crowded by Stuht
to $20. Hascnll bid $21. Then Stuht be

Ho I'l'dfcssoi Ignorance Concern I ini
iho Union Wpot Project.
Sidney Dillon , of the Union Paclllc.arrived
in Omaha last nighi and took up quarters at
thnMlllard. Ho Is en route homo after hav
ing made an extended 'tour of the Union
Pacific system. When visited by a reporter
ho very courteously pjctonded a welcome to
the scribe , and announced that he was prepared -
pared to elvo out any .information within his
power. t
As the union depotprpjecf. was considered
of tbo greatest moment , bis opinion of the
matter was requested. , .
"I douH know anything about the depot , "
ho said , "as I have ijnt ecn out hero in lU-o
years , I read somcUiliig about It , but what
ever action has baoa iukpn by thu board of
directors is u mnlti'.r upon which I have not
been informed. I tmve not soon or commun
icated with Mr. Adam for over two moat Its.
VUB , a depot would bo a good thing , no doubt ,
but 1 have not given it any attention. "
"Bo you mean to suy that a matter Involv
ing an outlay or such a vast amount of
money would be acted upon by the board
without jour knowledge ! "
"I have just said that I know nothing
about the union depot aside'from what has
been said in the newspapers.1' '
"You have been reported as being op
posed to the absorption of tbo Fort Worth
road by the Union Pacific. "
"I fall to recall the thuo that I made any
such statements. I am a heavy owner in
Fort Wortn # tock , and was president of the
road prior to General Uodgo. If the Union
Pacific is loqklnir after a tide-water outlet
through that medium It Is something upon
which 1 have not been consulted. Mr. Ad-
ums made a trip over the road , but with
whal object ID view I do not know. The
Fort Worth would glvo the Union Pacillo a
good marine outlet , that I do not deny ; but
if a deul is on foot pointing toward Its abj
norptloa , that is u ditfurout thing. Yos. i
