Other Notes.
The census returns for the various church
I
organizations nro coming In slowly In Ne
braska. Nearly all the churches have expe
rienced a retnarkahlo growth during the past
ten years.
The Catholic church has prohahly the
largest membership of any religious denomi
nation In the state , although the tlgnrcs ara
pot yet nt band.
The followIiiR nro some of the churches
tbat have a report prepared.
The Methodist Episcopal church has about
fjo,000 members in Nebraska.
The prcshyterinn church lias 11,3G3 mem
bers , with 231 churches and 152 ministers.
The work is divided into five presbyteries ,
that of York. Kearney , Hastings , Nlobrara ,
"Nebraska City nnd Omnha. This church
raised f I ! ! , ini9 for current expenses last year
nsldo from benevolences.
In Omaha the Presbyterian denomination

ship of lr > 17.
The United Presbyterian church in Ne
braska has about 2f , > 00 members. It has M

"Illshop Itruily nt'Onialia. "
The appointment of a Catholic bishop for
the dlocesoof Omaha to succeed the Into
Bishop O'Connor , will It Is thought soon bo
pincio.
The meeting of the bishops called for the
purpose of considering the matter will take
place on the Iflthof Octobernt St. Louis.
The consulting clerpy of. the dloceso liavo
been requested to express their preference
regarding the successorship before the
bishops meet. This was not itono when the
bishops last met to recommend a candldnto.
This concession Is granted beenuso of the
etaml the clcrpy of the dloceso took in favor
of Hlshop Scnnlnn nnd ns opposed to another
bishop who , it was thought , sought appoint
ment.
On this subject THE REE'S Homan correspondent
pendent writes ns follows :
"I liuvo had nn interesting audience with
the president of tbo American college. 1 did
not liiul him at all reserved regarding the
chances of the nrobablo candidates for bishop
of Onmlm , with tno exception of Father
Urndyof St. Louts , who , I will hazard the
guess will bo the next bishop of Omaha. He
uahl positively that Bishop Htirko , ( formerly
cf Cheyenne ) WHS not going to Omaha. "
The meeting of bishops on the Uth of next
month therefore will bo an Important one. It
will scud to Homo three names from which
the i > opo can cheese one to act as bishop.
These mimes nro marked worthy , more
worthy and most worthy. It is very seldom
that the po | > o is not entirely governed in his
selection by the recommendation of the
blshoprlo und hcnco when a priest is marked
ns moi worthy for elevation to the episco
pacy it Is equivalent to an appointment. It
was generally conceded by thu clergy nt St.
Ixnils when the last meeting was held that
the priest marked roost worthy to bo eeadju-
tor bishop of Omaha because bishop O'Con
nor was not then dead , was Vicar-General
Brady , of St. Louis. Father Jlrady's ' name
had boon sent on to Homo twlco before. As
shown by TUB BKB correspondent his name
Is most likely to bo forwarded to Homo agala
as most worthy.
Father Uruuy , though vicar-general of the
t. Louis dloceso , is still a young man. lie Is
not more than fortv years of age. For pauy
vears he was iiastor of the Annunciation
church , in the southern part of that city. It
was while he was stationed thcro that , howas
unpointed vlcar-gcncral. When llev. J. J.
llcnncssov , pastor of St , John's church , was
made bishop of Wichita , about two years ago.
Yiear-General Ilrady was Riven charge of
that church. Since his nastorato there ho
lias been doing splendid work for the par
ish.
ish.Ho is a most popular priest and a man of
much ability , hi cuso no is appointed bishop
of Omaha tup appointment will ho almost as
? oed as any In the church , for Omnha is sure
to bo madu the sco of an arch-dloccso within
a few years. For n long tlmo a division of
the St. Louis diocese has been talked about ,
and it has boon generally conceded that when
the division is made that the see of the new
archdiocese should bo Omaha.
Illsliop Newman ,
Thcfollowing from a leading correspondent
of nn eastern paper will bo rend with , some
interest by the friends of Bishop John P.
Newmau of the Methodist church :
'The Hov. Er. Newman is now in Japan.
He has become a bishop since ho presided at
Grant's funeral , and ho was especially anx
ious to bo present in the room when Grant
died. Ilo is , you know , n tall , line looking
man , with a great head and u great frame ) .
His blood is full of Iron , and ho can outsleep
any of the noted preachers of the country.
Ho likes good living. Is fond of a Turkish
bath , nnd appreciates the good things of this
life to their full extent. Hero at lountMc-
Grcfror ho stayed tin nicht after night , waitIng -
Ing for CiKiut to die , and the watching wore
upon him , It was said at the tirao that ho
had a contract with some publisher to write
up the death bed scene for § . " 00 , but I doubt
whether that was true. He was , 1 know ,
verv anxious to bo present nt the tlmo of
Grant's ' death , ami the night that Grant did
die , inasmuch as the general appeared to bo
better than usual , Dr. Newman concluded to
go to the hotel and get a little sleep. Ilo loft
instructioiis that howas to bo called if the
general got worse , but in the excitement of
the time he was forgotten. Ho made , how
ever , a fine funeral oration over Grant , and
had hew a good chance to display some of
that ability which ho really possesses. "

The Midland , the United Presbyterian
church paper of Omnha , devoted a column
and a half last week to the subject of singing
as a part of church worship , and , of course ,
took the ground that the psalms of the bible
are the only proper thing to employ in divine
worship. The editor says , in brief , the fol

In Whom UcstH tlio Authority to Ap
point Them ?
County Attorney Mahoney and City Attor
ney Poppleton had nn appointment to meet
nt the mayor's oftlco yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of dl-cussing and. If possible , deciding
ciding- the question as to who had authority
to appoint tno judges and clerks of the forth
coming election.
The question is conceded to ho one of vital
importance at this timo. It is widely recog
nized that an error in the matter might re
sult in the loss of the vote of Omaha and
Douglas county at this critical time.
The act of 16W lodged this power in the
hands of the mayor und council. Under the
general law , without the act of ' 37 , it rested
with the county commissioners. Some ques
tion arising under the act of ' 87 having como
before the supreme court that tribunal de
cided the act unconstitutional.
The question now is whether the entire act
was declared unconstitutional or whether any
part is to bo regarded aj still in force.
The compiler of the statutes of 1W ! ) seems
to have thought the supreme court decision
had the effect of setting aside the entire uct ,
beenuso ho omitted the unt altogether.
Mr. I'oppleton seems to bo of the Impres
sion that a portion of the act of ItW Is
still in force , and therefore boldn that the
mayor and council have the making of these
appointments.
Mr. Mahoney holds the roverseopinion ,
namely , that the supreme court decision cov
ered the entire act of 18S7 ,
It was axccrUilued , however , thnt in the
event , of it being imposslblo for these legal
gentlemen to ngreo finally , the only way out
of the difficulty would bo for the mayor ,
council and commissioners to appoint the
Judges and clerks of election Jointly ,

While witnessing the varying fortun cs of
Jacob Fletcher m "Saint ? and Sinners" last
Saturday evening at the lloyd.and . tlio strong-
aud earnest work of that veteran of the stage ,
J. H. Stodtlard , 1 couldn'tholp bub praise the
work of Mr. Jones , the author of the play ,
at tlio same time marvel at the hold the Engr
lish mclo-drnma has upon theater-goers.
Was there over anything likoitl
How deliciously mouldy nnd familiar is the
English melo-drama Is'ono of your spick-
span Yankee rawness nud newness about It.
No Intellectual { jirap or emotional wooden
nutmegs. No cajoling with , the present or
speculating with the future , but a dead-level
of-stage tradition , just lllro ono of those
English Holds In which poppies and -wheat
have been continuously grown sincotho days
of "William the Conqueror , nnd the same sky
lark has sung- the snmo song- and the bodge
rows worn the suma blossom , and the river
bank boasted of the sanio primrose slnco
Wordsworth.
Outside of English niclo-drama tlioworld
moves , electricity has become a power in the
lands , the phonograph has been Introduced
Into almost every hotel corridor , where for 11
nickel you may hear Gladstone's latest speech
In parliament ; Chauncey Depcwlecturing
the students of Amhorstcollege ; 1'atti sinfj-
hiKtho "CastnDiva ; " Galassl.tho "Di quella
pira , " orOllmoro's band playing the "Star
Spangled Banner , " with cannon uccompanl-
mutit.
Inside of Kngllsh melo-drama these things
nro not Known. The same old events are the
proud herltaBoof the Enullsn playwright.
Liberty of thought and freedom of choice
have walked on apace slrico liettcrton. But
your English melo-dr.miatlst thinks with Cnr-
lyle that they nro shootlnp Niagara and ho
wraps his macintosh bqut him , hoists his
umbrella nnd wrcstles'wlth the same Mack *
foRtlmt got Into the throats of tbo Children
of the Abbey and staltiedjho genius of Ccnt-
llvre ,
' Saints and Sinners11 ; like "Tho Sliver
ICing , " is pre-eminently among thocrownlng
glories of the melo-Jruinatle stage , hut not
withstanding there is a lifteenth century ,
Anglo-Saxon flavornb'ouV it that cannot bo
dispelled by the author's pronounclnmento
thnt It is a eighteenth century rommice.
The villain is English ty the marrow. The
heroine nn English blo Wtn not unlike n prim
rose , and tlio curatoGod bless himis steeped
in English thought , Enulish desires and Eng
lish charity , "which iuffercth long and is
kind. " tj
But these same tyirt * you liavo seen in
countless plays before. These chnracters are
not now to you , on the contrary they uro oa
ancient as the stage ,
In everything also the staunch little
islobas recognized that there are other coun
tries surrounding it , but in molo-drnma the
old conditions are undisturbed , You tlnd the
snmo country lass la the imnio ribbons , witb
the same heart-beat tn a vibration that was
in Poll , nnd Dolly , und 1'eggy ,
The same fellow makes love to her la the
same dialect and the saino cordurov breeches ,
while the same "man of the world" wields
the same evil Influence over her ; takes her
away from her country lover , domiciles her
in the same town house , goes through the
satno farcical Scotch marriage , nnd tlnally
disavows the whole business , costing her
adrift upon an unfeeling world.
The hero "by heavens" It down every haw

"Seasons , " and wears the same virtue to a

The stage adaptation of Mark Twain's en-
tertalniug story , "The Prince and the Pau
per , " will bo given itsflrst Omaha represen
tation at Boya's opem house tomorrow even
ing' . Mrs , Abby Sasro Richardson , who
adapted the story to stage use , Is widely and
favorably known , and her new departure In
literary endeavor will bo anticipated witb. In
terest Dy her many admirers.
The chief attraction of the performance
will undoubtedly prove to bo Elsie Leslie , u
Httlomlssjustclovenycnrs old , who Impersonates
senates the dual iwo of Tom Canty , the
pauper , nnd Edward , prince of Wales , Mark
Twain's youthful heroes. Notwithstanding
her tender yours It is safe to say that she Is
almost as well known as the most talked
nbout stellar luminaries , and she has certain
ly proved herself possessed of a drawing
power which many of them might boglauto
owe. Miss Leslie has been on the stugo four
seasons , but hi that time has inailo such per
ceptible progress in the line of true art that
critics have tiomo to refer to herns an urtist ,
rather than us n precocious youngster.
The furore which Miss L.eslio inado In
"F.umtleroy , * ' and which \VM in a great
measure the means of tidinc the play to Its
phenomenal popularity is Mill remembered ,
She played the part of LiUlo Lord Fauutle-
roy for eight consecutive weeks at the Broad
way theater , New "Yorlc , and then returned
to 2lr. iTrohinan's direction. Ho decided to
get a play for EUie , and Mark Twain's
'Princo and Pauper'1 was thought of.
There Isn high degree of dramatic skill In
thoarraiigeincntof the dramatization and It
Is full of bcencs which nro genuinely and sur
prising cffeutivo. Some of these scenes are
sensational using the word In u good and
i-estricted sense in their character. Others
are udtbcllcwhile others again arc distin
guished by a trite and contagious humor.
Every scene lias its o\vn Intci-est. A singu
larly felictious scene U that in which Miles
Hendon , a soldier who has rescued the pau-
| Mjr prince from his tormentors , and lias shel
tered him In his own home , decides to humor
what ho regards as the boy's ' madness nnd to
treat him as though ho were Indeed the
prince ho claims to be. This scone is vital
ized by the humor of a raroand genuine sort ,
where tears are mingled with laughter.
ger Miner of the Grand opera house ,

Another curious feature in the curio depart
ment will bo Leroy , the human baboon , Ho

times the usual size. Ho has also the re
markable power of dislocating all the Joints

pion bicycle rider oE the world , will give
some specimens of fancy nnd trick riding.
The Fran cilia child ren are the cutest little

EDUCATION 1'OIV WOJIA.X
A Discussion of the Subject by Young
1/ndlcs oT Park I'lnco.
The pupils of this Institution offered last
week a very interesting and amusingly di
versified manifestation of young women's '
theories as to young women's education ,
These disclosures were called forth by a gen
eral "concours" in Kngllsh composition , a
competition Into which all entered , from the
graduating class to the Juvenile department ,
Inclusive. The subject suggested wtii : "Kd-
ucation for Woman , " and each writer was
required to set fortli candidly her opinions on
the following questions :
1. What constitutes education for a woman ,
or , in other words , what U your ideal of nn
educated woman )
2. What moans would you suggest for the
attainment of this ideal education }
In your judgement , must the culture of the
spiritual side of a woman's being , and the
training of her heart , form an essential etc
merit of education I
What is the nature , and what Is the extent
of the advantage ! secured by such an educa
tlonl
Ttm essays presented cover a wide range of
thought , and suggest a variety of standards
as to the ideal of woman's culture , montnl ,
moi-.il and religious. U was cortnlnly a happy
Idea to elicit theio original views from seine
eighty or more young ladies , at the opening
of a school year. Pupils of the preparatory
department were excepU'd from the "con-
rours , " but those of the primary , that Is , over
the ago of nine veara , supplied some refresh
ingly nualnt Judgments and counsels , notably
Miss Helen 1'eck , ( ngcd twelve ) und Miss
Juno Uysart , notquito ten years old. In the
Intermediate grades , several pupils failed
and their names do not appear , Students
pursuing special studies did not not take purt
