BENNISON BROS. ON THE BRIDGE AT MIDNIGHT , Observations of the Toll-Takers on the Doug las Street Viaduct. LIVING TIDE BETWEEN TWO STATES. The IInclcHtors \Vnsc-Barners in the Morninjj and Uoysterers , Criminals and IjlliortineH of tlic Hours or Darkness. Velvet nnd rugs , virtue nud vice , old ago nud youth nil come to the man on the bridge. All day longs he sits at his little window at the foot of Douglas street watching thu procession - cession und jingling his change. At 4 o'clock in the morning , the daily stream begins. Yesterday's tide is not ended. Straggling earouscrs who have turned night into day arc wending their way homewards , looking very disreputable under the dawning light of u new day. There is a clattering down the pavement ot Douglas street and the bridge-keeper stretches himself and goes out to take the tickets from the newspaper boys. They nro on the way to the BlulTswith tlio daily morning paper do- ! lvcry. There nro four of them and their visits nro as regular as clockwork. They dis appear into the light morning mist which bungs over the bridge mid through which the mosslvo bourns and supports.look us though suspended hi tlio nlr. Tne clatter of the ponies' hoofs dies away In the distance and the bridge is quiet again for half an hour. The sky over the dark outline - line of the Bluffs turns from black to gray and crimson , and the nun comes un with n bound. Thu city Is waking up. Noisy milk wagons and ice wagons can bo heard rattling and roaring over the stone pavement in the distance. Saloon doors nro thrown open und porters at their morning scrubbing chulT each other across tlio street. Hero und their devout women , prayer book in hand , are seen hurrying oft to curly morning mass and tl , o day has begun. The stream of travel on the bridge now flows from the BluiTS side. The market gur- dcuors nro coming. Thcro nro nbout twenty of them in all sorts of vehicles loaded down with green garden stuff for the Omaha mar ket , Uurrots , lettcuco , euulltloworruddlshes , celery , new potatoes and all sorts of early vegetables are piled up In tempting array. Some of them will spend the Jay hawking about the streets , "potato-oca" and the llko , but for the moat part , thcso gardeners have their regular list of customer , retail grocers , butchers uud provision uieii. Theae puss onand with them two or three milkmen and there Is another rest till G o'clock , when the ulght ticket-taker Is re lieved by tlio day man nnd another wave tlpws from Uie Bluffs sldo They are foot- passengers this time. Siucltlug hands , shop hands and n few carpenters or bricklayers , They uro generally paying for a little homo over on thu bottoms , uud dinner-pail in hand make their dully journey to und from their work. A special arrangement has been made for their accommodation , which makes travel cheap. A ticket entitling the bearer to nfty single passages over the bridge is sold for fiO cents , or 1 cent a trip. These tickets are good only between 0 aud T o'clock u. in. and 0 uud 7:30 o'clock p. m. , the design being to confine thu benefits to the working cliun. By the tlmo these jiuve passed over , the regular Htrcum of daily tniltlo has begun and the ticket-taker Is kept busy , The electric motor wire has been humming Binco G u , m. On the first train come * a loud of working men uud wouicu with un installu- incut of passengers whoso multifarious pack * ngcs and bundles proclaim that they have been saving the extra 15 cents charged by the Uuioii Puclflo transfer.

' ! 5c , BENNISON BROS tlicir trading In Omaha , -wagon loads of mer chandise for the Omaha warehouses , covered moving wagons leading their cows and horses behind them , business men and siglit-sccrs in buggies. About noon , u police ofllcor comes down with a couple of disreputable compan ions. They have becu sentenced to leave the city and an ofllcer has been detailed to accompany them out. * The same perform ance is gene "through with on the other end occasionally when there Is an interchange of disreputables. So it goes on all day , "the long procession still passing to nnd fro. The young heart hot and restless , tlio old heartsubdued and slow , " till the sun siiks over in the west and tlio human tide ( lows back again. If ills a Hub night thcro is n lively scene from 7 in the evening until 10. Scores of young bloods are out "with their sweethearts for n drive on thu boulevard across the Hats on the Bluffs side , sporty young follows with "smart" speeches for the imperturbable tick et-taker ; family parties of tlio father , mother and half a dozen youngsters ; a stream of bi cycle riders out for a run in neat looking uni forms. and occasionally a tally-ho couch load ed inside and out with n party of laughing shouting merrymakers. All these come und go daily but there nro other things which the toll-keeper sees. Soinotimcs u figure comes slinking up through tlio railway yards below , buys his ticket , hands over his nicklo with a shaking bund , hurries across the bridge. "He's wanted , " soliloquizes the ticket-taker and goes on punching his tickets. Sometim a pair of flustered individuals in n single buggy hurry across uud in two or three hours uro back again. "An clopo- mont1 , reflects the gatekeeper. All night hack-loads of dissipated , loud mouthed men nnd equally loud women uro rattled to and fro. The daily receipts of the bridge , exclusive of the earnings of the motor line , average about $50 , which is ptild according to the fol lowing schedule of prices : Foot passengers and bicycle riders , r > cents ; single buggy and driver , 10 cents ; single exnress wagon und driver , 15 cents ; two-horse light carriage and driver , 15 cents ; two-horso wagon und driver , 20 cents ; two-horso buck , 20 cents ; horses nnd cuttle per head , lOc ; sheep and swlno per head , So. Ono night's travel will give an idea of the class of passengers. Last Thursday night the toll taker had n record of seventy-live people which means seventy-live exclusive of the immense motor travel nnd of the drivers of the various vehicles. There were thirty- one single buggies , eight double carriages , twelve heavy wagons und eight single ex press wagons. This Is for the night only , which averages little more than half the travel of the day. There uro four toll keepers , two on at night and two by duv , working twelve hours each. The motor trains run ovcry cloven minutes till 0 o'clock nnd from that till I a. m. , every in'nutcs. twenty-two _ 1'retty Tou ti Miilna , Thcso.

LITTLE CHURCH OF ST. BARNABUS , Changes in Oilier Sanctuaries , Uo- tiromcnt of Clergymen and tlio PluueMUtVliich Services Are to He Held. The church of St. Barnabas , at the corner of Nineteenth and California streets , is un un pretentious little structure unadorned with costly spire or assertive urches. It is simply u little , poorly painted , roughly AniMied build ing solar as its exterior is concerned. It is painted an homely pink , the windows are small and the steeple is deciilsdly abbreviated. But tlio interior of this house of worship is entirely churchly. The pews uro plain and straight , the windows nro of stained glass , while white rood screen and altar lendumoro rigid air of simplicity. The white screen takes the place of the chancel or altar rail. This is of wood painted plainly white. From its center the cross of the church proudly raises its crests. In fact the cross is omnipresent here. Immediately to the left of the center of the screen , in a socket prepared for It , stands the brass cross that is borne in advance of the processionals , while upon the altar another of these symbols is placed. The latter is one of the iinest brass crosses in tlio city. It is largo , and the engravings upon it uro of more than ordinary excellence. It bears the inscription "To the Glory of God und in Memory of Mary Wal lace , Died .luly t > 3. 1883. " This beautiful symbol wus given to the church by Mr. Paul Ilorbach and is in memory of his aunt. Thcro are upon the altar eleven brass candlesticks , plain , but lino. The altar it self is of wood painted plainly white. There is hut one window within the chancel and that is a large ono of stained glass , erected to the memory of Thomas B. Holmes , ut ouo time a warden of the church , by his loving friends In the parish. Tlio rerodos is covered with plush. To tlio right of the ultiir is a desk holding the prayer book containing the nltar services. It is of plain wood crowned by a plain stained cross. The book desk , however , is of solid brass. It Is engraved with the Greek symbols , Alpha nnd Omega. There is u pulpit , u plain wooden utfair , with in the chancel , but it is seldom used , ns the rector. Father Williams , prefers to deliver his brief sermons standing in the chuncol nt the head of the oentrul nisle. The chair stalls and reading-desk are in keeping with the pulpit in simplicity. The pipe organ , whoso deep tones add to the original beauty of the services , was erected to the momftry of Jessie Luollu wood man , once un organist of tlio church , by the wardens nnd vestry of the parish , She died April a , 1880 , aged twenty-two years. Those facts nro made known by an engraved brass tablet on ono end of the in strument. Inscribed upon this also is the petition , "Grant Her , O Lord , Grant Her Eternal rest. " The altar cloths useti in St. Barnabas uro of flno texture und beautifully embroidered. A Sweet Hey Singer. The singing of Master Archie Pratt In the Trinity cathedral choir Is attracting much at tention. Master Pratt has a very clear soprano voice , carefully trained , and sings In the solo parts of the servlco. The Clinngo ut the Newman. Kov. G. W. Savldge , tlio newly appointed pastor of the > i cwman M. E. church , preached his salutatory sermon thcro last Sunday before an audience that tilled the church.

BENNISON BROS bored with Mr. Saviilge in. his work ut the People's church accompanied him to his new und important lield. Seven persons united with tlio church at the lir.st service. There seems to bo no doubt but that the hitherto un fortunate parish will hereafter move forward successfully. _ A Voxin } * Matter. The question of entertaining the colored delegates who will attend the next general conference of tlio .Methodist Episcopal church , to be held in Omaha , has already pre sented itself and is now being agitated by the organ of the Afro-Americans in this city. Thov demand entertainment equal to that of their white brethren , but accommodation for them cannot be obtained at tlio best ho tels , us the proprietors have so expressed themselves , and it bus been left to the citi zens to take them into their homes. At the meeting of the committee of 100 re cently a request was made by Bishop Newman that those pontons pres ent -who were willing to entertain colored delegates at their homos , and only two men arose. There arc n great many colored people in Omaha who would bo glad to entertain their brethren at tlio conference , but there "will be an objection to this. The Progress , published in this city in the Interest of the colored people , says of this : Tlioro will bo an attempt Hindu to huvo tlio Afro-Americans of tlili city look after the colored delegates and it should bu nipped in tlio hud.Vu piotest against It , If Omaha Is lU'hhous oC having tint eonforenuo In U'Ji slid must cownly with the stipulations and maUo thu necessary provisions for the accommoda tion of thu colored delegates equal with the whites. This same perplexity caused hard feelings at Cincinnati m 18S-1 and in Now York in 1833 , but the committee having the affair in charge hero think that it can so arrange mat ters at. to satisfy everybody , Dedication ill Icjiitori > rine , Enterprise is the name given Mr , M.
