That the improvements m the manufacture of Beady-Made Clothing have been simply phenomenal. Heretofore
the average business man would scoff at the idea of wearing a ready-made suit of clothes , But it now requires
the ingenuity of a Pinkerton to detect the difference between a first class merchant tailor 'made suit and a first

Tbo folloxvinp plain words havebeoa ad
dressed to citizens of Omnlm by Uov. W. J.
lInr.Mm. of tlio First Prosuyterian church :
1 liavo long felt tlmf a little fntliurly advice -
vice on a particular mutter would do you no
linrni. 1'crliniis I , being tbo oldest pastor ia
, point of sorvici ! In the city , way nttliiKly > 'ivo
it to .you.
And Jlrotly , as wo prcnchors say , tlicro
never was a time when tlio pulpits of Omaua
ivoro BO ably filled as now. In tlio Kirst
church is Dr. Duryoa , a
man wnoso advent to tlio ciiy
\vas n cause of pndo to every citizen who
values the intellectual and moral well-bolnp
of our coiirminity. In tlio Trinity cathedral
is Dean Gardner , ono of the most gen-
. tlemniily and scholarly mon to bo
mei with In any city. Tlio First
l aptint pulnit is filled by Dr. Lamar , than
whom there is not a nioro cfllciont. . and devoted -
voted man In his ilononiinatlon. At ttio
"Kountzo Memorial church Is Dr. Detwcilcr ,
n deep tlilnUor and u brilliant orator. To
'tho t'irst Motliodlst puloit has Just como Dr.
Aluriill , one of Philadelphia's most success
ful pastors , whose genial volco Is bound to
malte the now cdlllco on vtio hill resound to
earnest gospel truth. Dr. John Williamson ,
of ttio Central United Presbyterian church ,
is well known ns u scholar and preacher ,
At lloyd's opera house Hov. Clmrles W.
Savldpo has Blurted Ills Pcoplu's church , a
- movement vvhicli should receive the cordial
filiuport of bualni'ss men of all ilunonuna-
tious. L'or my part 1 want to say that I uni
particularly glad that Urothor Savidgu has
inaupuratnd this movement , and that 1 stand
ready to do all In my power to help it forward ,
lu the various parts anil suburbs of the
city there nro men qulto as ublo and devoted
uc'any down town , amoiiK thorn bolns Drs.
i'liiiin. Wlllard Scott , John Gordon , Ziilinor
end ilouso , 'and Hov. Mcsnrd. Henderson ,
Clurlf , Foster , Uroxvn , Oano end many
others. A noblar s t of men can not bo
found la the profession , or business circles
in the rity Thcso nro men who bcllevo
wbut they preach and llvo out what they
recommend ,
Npw for my little word of advice. Muy I
not venture to say to the peonlo of Ornulm
tlmt , lovinh' the fair name of thu city BH I do ,
it seems to mo the least thhiK our citizens can
do U to crowd all the churches wliero thcso
mon preach. I huvn noticed in the papers
that when the proprietors of opera houses
muUo u special effort to got Ills-
trioulo talent ot a high order
to upjioar in Omaha , they appeal confidently
to the town-lovo of thu people for lar o
houses. Tlio sumo prldo out-lit to bo felt in
our cburuhcB. No ona can fairly clulin tlmt
n bunduy Hour appnt in our Omaha churches
U un hour lost. It Is tlmo that our Sabbatli
liablta should bo revised. A city ( jots into
bail habits Just as un individual docs , and
oou of the worst of Omaha ways is staying
ut homo on the Lord's day ,
I buy. po to church nt least once a day.
This ttdvice I civo you not so much on re
ligious ground * , though 1 might urea tlicno
witli propriety , as on intellectual and moral
grounds. For the good of your families , for
the development of manliness In your child
rcn , for the broadening of your montdl horizon
zen , for the purpose of getting outside of
the little iliilly roundof inunoy-uiakiug , Tsny :
Gif to church. Select the nearest church of
your own denomination , or It you huvq no
preference of Una R0it oto hoar ttio uian
wlio wakens within jou the best and kindli
est thoughts and resolves. Tbouuh you do
not belicvo the doctrluei ho preaches , act
upon the practical nugmtioiis ho give&you.
It will do you U'ood to et clvauod up once a
inside and out. It will bo a benefit to
you to liavo the cobwebs of the world swept
out of your brains , end a little light , of neavun
let in. To sit for a half-hour uuuer the
Kindly advice of one of the men I bavo men
tioned will make you better husbands , better
workmen , better salesmen , better em
ployers , better mon all around.
Mon und women of Omaha : Think over
what I liavo suggested. I am quito well
aware that what 1 liavo said is open to n
number of unfavorable interpretations , and
that it may bo said I have ueeo pleading my
own case nil alone , yet I venture -
turo to send thcso words out , trust
ing that some will take them in the
Kood will with which they are written. It
tnuy bo a now thing to find a minister urging
people to go to hear other ministers preiich ,
but if you want to test my sincerity m the
matter Just take mo at my word and sco how
ulad T will be. Above all other manors I
want to BCD tlio churches of Omaha crowded
to overflowing , nil of them , for I baliovo that
in that way the host interests of Itio city
would bo conserved.
Church Statistic * .
The following addressed to the editor of
THE I3ii : ; uy Robert Potter , superintendent
of census , will bo appreciated by clergymen
throughout this section of country.
Having determined to include church sta
tistics In tlio special inquiries to bo tnado for
the eleventh census , I wish to announce to
you und , through you , to your rcadors , my
desire and purpose to obtain the fullest and
most accurate results possible in this special
department. I need not enlarge upon tlio
value of such results to any who nro in any
wino interested in church work anil progress ,
nud wish to know tlio numerical strength of
the various religious denominations of the
United States.
The inquiry will bo broad enough in scope
to embrace ovcry religious body , of what
ever nuinu or creed , however few or many
its churches and members , and It will bo
conducted with the utmost fairness und im
partiality. The information sought will bo
urranuect under five heads : (1) ( ) Organiza
tions or societies ; ( S ) church edifices ; (3) ( )
suatiuR capacity ; (4) ( ) value of church piop-
crty ; ( B ) communicants. This is ns mucii ,
in my Judgment , as it will be wise to nndor-
tiuto in this direction for the eleventh cen
sus.
sus.In order to prosecute this plan success
fully and to make the result1) so thorough
and accurate tlmt they cannot bo impeached ,
the government will liavo to count largely
on the prompt and generous co-oporntion of
these in cucn denomination who nro in u po
sition to furnish the information desired.
This Information cannot bo gathered by the
enumerators. They are already fully bur-
deiiod ; and the appropriations uvailablo for
tha census will not admit of thouppolntment
of special enumerators for this work. It is
necessary , therefore , to maku church statis
tics a special inquiry , und they must bo
gathered chiolly by schedules placed ia tlio
hands of some competent person in each of
the minor ecclesiastical subdivisions of the
various churches.
Tlio conduct of this special Inrntlrv has
been commlttod to a gontloinau whoso quail-
llcatlons for the work will , I nm sure , bo in
stantly recognired , II. K. Carroll , LL/.D. ,
editor of "I'no Independent , " of Now York ,
has consented to nssumu the duties of thu
position. Dr. Carroll Is now engaged in tiro-
paring plans fur such n division of the terri
tory of each denomination as will make it
comparatively easy fur these to whom his in *
qnlrles will be addressed to give n prompt
and faithful rositonse. 1 nslc for him , and I
urn sure you will Heartily second mo , huch
cheerful and generous assistance as ho may
roijulro from officers of the denomination you
represent.
liniirovcinniiti In Hoiuitzu Memorial.
The Improvements being made on Kouutze
Memorial church and the adjoining lot will
cost $12,000. About $5,000 has been applied
In the erection uf the now storeroom north
of the church. This building although not
quito completed Imi already beou leased for
llvo years and proiulsu * to boa source of rov-
cuuo to the society.
The other 57,000 la being expended upon
the cburcU itself and some Important
changes liavo been imiile , particularly In the
basement. The 6teps mi the south eldo of
the building huvu been removed and a window
put In to light the stulrivay leading
from the church parlors to the uppnr vesti
bule. The itepi lead injf up to thi > west on-
trance have been radically changed. In front
of the otitnineo will bo n landing , and the
stops wilt lead up to it from the north and
south instead of from the west , as hereto
fore. Heneath the landing Is being cut an
entrance into the basement. The small windows
dews lighting the west part of the basement
liavo been enlarged , and all the windows in
the basement will have stained glass. A new
floor has been put in the church parlors. The
nudionco room has undergone n transforma
tion nt tlio hands of the painters and fresco-
crs , and has been wnndei fully improved in
appearance. All the tints used are in it har
mony and the effect is ver.y pleasing. Steam
heat has been substituted for furnaces. The
church will again bo ready for use next Sun
day , tbo services for to-day being held in the
Y. M. C. A. building.
