Celebration of the Annlremry of Modern
Spiritualism Inanspiciously Begun ,
MISS EMMA J , NICKERSON'S ELOQUENCE ,
Her Wonderful AVonl 1'nlntlng DC-
HK'HS Hisr llenrira Easter Scrv-
Icesnt the Churches Other
City Matters.
In response to a ROOC ! deal of advertising
nnuounclnjt the celebration of. the forty-third
annlvorsnry of modern spiritualism , a rather
small audience mot yesterday afternoon in
Grand Army hall and listened to an address
by Miss Emma J. Nlckcrson of Chicago. It
was the opening of a series of meetings to bo
neld each afternoon and evening beginning
yesterday and concluding tomorrow evening.
The afternoon was very disagreeable , which ,
no doubt , accounted for the meager attend
ance.
ance.Miss Nickerson wiw introduced nnd maao a
few prefatory remarks concerning modern
spiritualism nnd the anniversary they were
celebrating. She is a young lady of very
proposso lnK appearance , strong vitality
nnd a stngo manner and presence
that at once sets her nudlcnco at
case nnd commands attention. As a
speaker s&o takes high rank nnd impresses
ono with the fact that she Is thorougly In
earnest in her work and sincere In her be
liefs. Her manner of speaking recalls Anna
Dickinson's vigor In her early nnd enthusi
astic days. Her subject was the "Prose nnd
Poetry of Life-1 and for three-quarters of an
hour she poured forth a Hood of poetic prose
that seemed to come from her throat as nat
urally as music comes from the breast nf a
bird on a bright sunny morning. Whether
tbo Inspiration came from any other source
than n powerful and well balanced intellect
and u Ihorottch familiarity with all the beau
ties of the English lanuungo , It may not be
worth discussing. Her thoughts were beau
tiful and clotticd hi beautiful language , and
the sentiments taught , so far as apparent on
the surface were as pure as the impressions
pained from looking at a beautiful picture or
listening to sweet music.
A much larger audience assembled In the
evening , and after the usual preliminaries
Miss Nickerson delivered another sparkling
array of linguistic beauties that caught the
attention of the dullest curiosity seeker nnd
held it for nearly an nour. The subject was
"Mother , Homo and Heaven.1 Every sentence -
tenco was a sparkling gem of thought , nnd
frequently speaking with half-closed eyes she
wrought'marvels of word-painting that
equalled Bob Ingcrsoll's ' best.
At the conclusion of her address she called
for questions from the audience , and several
very pertinent ones wcro asked , the lady as
suring , the questioners that she was not an
swering but was merely the medium for tbo
Intelligences In the spirit world One gen
tleman asked if spirits \vero cognizant
ol dissolution , and an answer in tuo
negative was given. There were many
spiritualists present und the questions were
propounded exclusively by them. Tney per
tained to the beliefs and aims of the believ
ers.
There will bo another meeting this after
noon nt2 : ; > 0 in the satao hall and this evenIng -
Ing at 7:00 : the anniversary address will bo
delivered.
The interest that Miss Nickerson has
awakened will no doubt bo sufficient to nt-
tract n largo attendance during the remain
der of the meetings.
A flue programme will bo given nt the St.
Bernard's hospital bazaar this evening. Ad
mission 25 cents.
Easter Ex-rclses.
The weather yesterday was not that
which is usually considered suitable for
Easter Sunday , but In spltg of the gloom end
rain a large number gathered at the various
churches to witness the special exorcises
that wcro to take place in most of them in
honor of the day. In most of the churches
elaborate preparations had been made In the
way of decorations , and tbo prolusion of
flowers Inside wont a long way toward mak
ing up for the unpleasantness out of doors.
At St. Paul's an elaborate musical pro
gramme bad been ptcparcd by the surplicod
choir under tha leadership of the accom-
phsned organist and director , Mr. Bert Sims ,
and the singing added much to the enjoyment
of the occasion. The music in the morning
consisted of "Morning Service In P , " by J.
B. Dykes , nnd "Tho Lord is My Strength , "
by Henry Smart ,
At the Presbyterian church a sermon on
the subject of the resurrection was preached
DV Dr. Phelps. A song was sung by Mrs.
W "W. Sherman , entitled "Emmaus. " the
words to which were composed by Rev. G.
W. Crofts. A duet wus rendered by the
Misses Mlnnlo Merkel and Lu Porterfleld ,
entitled "Our Saviour , " by C. A. White.
The decorations were very fine. At the close
of the services an appeal was made by tbo
pastor In favor of the Woman's Christian as
sociation hospital. Hn gave a brief outline
of the work that the ladles are doing , most of
which is done without any assistance from
the general public in n financial way. Ho
stated that there was a largo debt against the
association on the building , and that U was
necessary that the funds ho raised at once to
pay the interest on tbo aoot and help on with
the Improvements. After the appeal had
been made to the audience a generous collec
tion was taken for the benefit of tbo assocla
tion.
tion.The
The regular services wcro held in the Con
gregational chiirch in the morning , but the
evening was given up to the children of the
Sunday school , und an Easter concert was
given. Miss Grace Balch of Omaha and
Miss Mary E. Oliver and Mr. William
Murphy of Council Bluffs assisted in tbo pro
gramme , the larger part of which was fur
nished oy the children and teacher. * .
At tho'First Baptist church a similar pro
gramme was followed , a concert being given
Intbo evening.
At the Masonic Temolo the regular Easter
services wcro held in the morning hy the
Broadway Methodist church , and in the
evening Rev. Stewart , the pastor , preached
to the mercantile men.

Trouble with the " \Virc .
Considerable trouble was bad last evening
with the electric lights on ono of the Incan
descent circuits. The trouble arose from
what is technically known ns a "short cir
cuit , " which was iormcd from two wires becoming -
coming crossed. The result was that several
fuses were burned out nt the power bouse.
The dynamo which was connected \vith the
troublesome wire bad to bo turned oS , and a
pang of men was sent out to look all over the
line and find out where thi trouble lay. It
was finally found on South Sixth street ,
where the wind had blown down ono of the
wires and it had been crossed with another ,
thus forming the short circuit. The trouble
was repaired with but llttlo difficulty and
the lights were turned on at about.7 . o'clock.
While the dyuumo was turned off about a
quarter of all the incandescent llchts wcro
rendered useless.
Our spring stock is now complete. If you

South Omaha iropressarios of pugilism maybe
bo Interested in this story from the Ana
conda ( Mont. ) Standard. It tells how a man
who fought with his mouth only fell into
trouble out there !
Judge Fitzgerald yesterday rendered a de
cision In tbo rasa against Billy Butts , the
prize fighter. The Judge held that the evi
dence In the case was sufficient to lead him
to bcllevo that Butts had been a party to a
prize fight and bo held the man over to op-
pear before tbo grand Jury. Butts was ac
cordingly bound over , his bond. * being fixed
at $100. This Butts was unable to secure
and bo was placed In jail and will be taken to
Deer Lodge if his friends do not bail htm. ou t
todav.
The original charge agnlnst Butts was
that of faking , la other words , because
ho failed to fight and give the public a
bloodthirsty exhibition in several rounds
of tiara hitting nnd gamcncss. Because
ho failed to satisfy n largo number of
spectators who had expended n largo sil
ver dollar to satisfy brute curiosity , ho
was run in. At the time It was the opin
ion of the oniuers und many others that
J. B. Stradcr. the other principal to tbo fight ,
had displayed a desire to fight to a finish ,
and ho was not molested. The following day
the officers who made the nrreit became con
vinced that thu charge of fnklug would not
stick , and a cliurpo of violating the law
ngalnst prize fighting was preferred against
Butts.
A warrant was then Issued against Stra-
der. but ho bad doubtless taken a tumolo nnd
made a quiet disappearance. Too late the
officers found that Strader had made bis
escape. Whether very dillgcut search was
made for Strndcr is not known , at any rnto
ho was seen that day at Gregson Springs ,
but where ho is now in hiding It Is a dldlcult
matter to state. The trial of Butts occupied
several hours and the testimony was of a
peculiar character. Some of the witnesses
testified that the fight was a grand fake ,
others said it was a glove contest with regu
lation gloves , but admitted that Butts had
faked the affair. A few others w ere of the
opinion that It was u real prize fight , although
on cross-examination they wore of the opinion
that they had been swindled out of $1 , as
they had been present under the belief that
they were to bo favored with a long , exciting
and bloody fight.
"Tho decision of Judpo Fitzgerald yester
day virtually settles the case , and unless
Butts'friends can dig up $100 with which to
bail him and allow him to make his escape
ho is fated to languish in the county Jail until
his case comes before the graad ) urv , when
his case will bo finally settled. Had Butts'
friends been a trifle more generous they
would have secured fi" > . his original bondf
bailed him nnd if he had made himself
scarce It Is doubtful if ho would bo looked for
very far. "

Edward Einstein were recently on a
hunting trip in Virginia. What partic

engaged in we do not know , but what wo
do know is that one day in the old town
of Roanoke they were hunting bome-
thingr good to oat. They entered the
restaurant and asked the sable attend
ant what ho had that was good to eat.
"O , everything , boss. Anything you
want to order. "
"Got uny oysters ? " asked Mr. Mott.
"No oysters , sah. * Oystera jia' out.
Everything else , though , in 'bundance. "
"How about your fish ? "
"Jis' out of fish. Got 'bout everything

"Well , some { jarne would suit us"said

"Any gatno you want , sah. Billiards in
a buck room , pool , ten plus in < le cellar ,
and a very lively game of poker in the
third story front. More gutno than any
thing else , sah. "
The Now York party concluded notj.o
indulge in any game , and sought an
other restaurant to satisfy their hunger.
A Now Measurer.
An ingenious device for measuring ;
distances , and which will bo likely to interest -
terost architects nnd builders , is an in
vention of an English firm. It consists
of a small revolving wheel which
operates a spindle , the revolutions being
accurately registered by a dial counter.
By running tno distance wheel along a
wall or other surface .tho recorder will
show how many feet have boon measured.
There is practically no limit to the dis
tance that may bo determined by this
llttlo device.

Terrible Highbinders.
"Highbinders and Their Methods , "
was the subject of an interesting paper
read by P. T. Masters at a recent meet
ing of the Methodist preachers in San
Francisco. The gentleman is super
intendent of the Methodist Chinese mis
sion in that city , speaks the Chinese lan
guage fluently nnd from , years of associa
tion nnd observation among the race is
thoroughly conversant with its habits of
life. The paper discussed the origin ,
spirit and methods of the highbinder
enplnt.v nnfl thn trtrrihlo * Rfirotnnnins nf
initiation , to its councils. It was bused
largely upon a ritual , found by § er eant
Price in the recent raid , of the police in
Chinatown. The story of the origin of
the society reads ' . o a myth. Some
time in the dim pafcrtt was organized in
a Chinese monastery. About ono hun
dred and twenty-eight monks , living in
seclusion in obedience to the demands of
their religion , banded themselves to
gether as warriors in support of the
emperor of China. They dm him good
service and ho offered thorn commen
surate reward which their vows of
poverty would not allow them to accept.
They retired to their accustomed retreat
only to fall victims to an attack of the
Tartars , in whom a constant dread of
their prowess had been engendered. All
but five , who were miraculously saved
by angelic power , were put to death.
'Those men in a spirit of revenge
founded the great secret societies whose
members number many thousands. The
ceremonies of Initiation are of the most
frightful character , intending to inspire
a fear and respact for the power of the
organization. The novitiate is com
pelled to take the severest of oaths to
obey commands given , nnd to do the
work assigned under pain of torture of
death. Ho unbraids his cue , which for
250 years has been the badge of loyalty
to the present dynasty , and stands ready
to rotiounco allegiance to God and to
man , to all but the hocioty In whoso
fortunes ho has linked his own.
The designs of the organization are
always concealed. Its commands are
given in words of hidden meaning ,
which time nnd time have been heard
In Chinatown. It has in its pay a
regular hired soldiery paid to do mur
der. A member of the organization
recently captured hud on his person his
commission. At is now in the possession
of Chief Crowley. These soldiers are
paid $10 a month if they are caught and
put in prison. If they uro wounded a
physician is paid to attend them and
$100 is sent to their relatives in China.
If they are maimed for life they are sent
home and given 8250. The purpose of
the society is to import infamous women
to San Francisco und to revenge porsonul
wrong for pay. Mr. Masters suggests
two ways to dlstroy the ovil.Vhito
police who cannot speak Chinese are
greatly handicapped and practically
without sufficient means to root out the
powerful society. A force of Chinese
regularly qualiped t6 act ns oillcors
should bo oquipted antj pjacod in China
town. If method is with&ut avail then
revolutionary measures , are alone loft
and bhould be adopted , ,

Ho opened it and found $4o and a card

from ono of the camps. Mr. Hcrco says
ho reached the Logivn county camp.
All of the bosses , about a dozen in
number , were armed with Winchesters
and revolvers and a pack of bloodhounds
was kept chained close by. Ho was told
that there were no Bohemians in the
cnirip , hut ho had all the men marshaled
before him nnd picked out thirteen
men who , upon his promise of protection ,
acknowledged thiuthey were Bohemians.
Ho then started back to Pocahontus
with the rescued men. Ton of the men
secured employment , while the other
three and the women cauio on to New
York with him. The men say thut they
were compelled to work like slaves under
the lash , wore watched night and day
and cha'ed by bloodhounds if they
attempted to escape. They had hardly
sufllciont clothing for their nakedness
and no shelter from the winter's blast.
The beds consisted of loaves with the
frozen ourth for a pillow.

Now York Snn : A portly woman with
a fat valise at her feet and a bundle at
each elbow , wus laboring away to iudite
a telegram in the wuiting room of the
Grand Central depot. She blotted two
or three blanks , stuck out her tongue as
eho started in on the date nnd her men
tal distress was so evident thut a gentle
man who was waiting for the pen kindly
observed :
"Perhaps it is n very poor pen , ma'am
npd if you will permit me , I will write
the dispatch for you. "
"O , thank you , slrbutr-but ; "
"It won't bo the slightest trouble ,
ma'am. "
"I know , hut this is to ray husband ,
you see , and he's a very peculiar man.
He gal cheated out of $600 once by a
patent right man and now he's sus
picious of everybody and has got to bo

cover the case , I guess. He'll know this

The New Metal.
At $1 a pound aluminum is really not
so hi nil as it looks , for the relation of a
pound of aluminum to n pound of other
metal is something like that of the fa
mous pound of feathers to the pound of
lead. Aluminum is almost three times
as bulky as iron , weight for weight ; it is
nearly seven times as bulky as silver ,
nnd more than four times ns bulky ns
gold. Thus if silver were $1 an ounce ;
und aluminum $1 a pound , silver would
be really fifty times more costly , bulk
for bulk ; aluminum at $1 a pound would
only be twice as costly as copper nt 15
cents a pound. .

Ono fair bride who belongs to the'
swollest sot in McAllister's 400 of Now
York had for a wedding present from
some enterprising friend a too ring. It
was "severely plain , " being simply a
gold band studded with brilliants , it is
said by Mmo. Rumor that her bride
groom , who , by the way , is near-sighted ,
thought his fair dame deformed. Upon
her prettywell polished big too bho were
the ring , and ho , man-like , did not see
the beauty at first of marrying such
pretty attributes as nature had bestowed
upon her.
A bad complexion is destructive to
beauty , then why not ube Spanish Court
Cream and become beautiful.

Two years ago I was engaged in lum
bering iu Mississippi. Ono of my chil
dren was down with diphtheria and the
question of deiith was simply the
problem for a few hours to determine.
An old colored man , Ui whom my wife
had shown some kindnesses , called nt
the house , and saying ho had heard of
my little one's illuess. urged ine to try
pineapple juice. The old fellow de
clared that In Louisiana , where he came
from , ho had seen it tried n million
times , and that in each case it had
proved effective. So I secured a pine
apple nnd squeezed out the juice. After
a while wo got some of it down the
boy'u throat , and in a short time ho was
cured. The pineapple should bo thor
oughly ripe. The juice is of so corosivo
a nature that it will cut out tno diphthe
ritic mucus. I tell you it is a sure euro.
JPehrlnjj Sea Controversy.
The statement by ox-Minister Phelps ,
which will appear in the April number
of Harper's Magazine ( to bo published
March 21) ) . of the controversy between
the United States and Great Britain is
clear , full and conclusive. After show
ing the extent of the destruction of bcal
.ifo in the open sea surrounding the
Pribyloff islands through the Canadian
intrusions , so great thut during the past
four years tour-fifths of thorovenuo from
an important American industry has
disappeared. Mr. Phclps expo es the
wanton nnd wasteful character of this
destruction , as contrary to the ordinary
dictates of humanity ns it is to the re
quirements of self-interest. Ho shows
that the convention proposed during
President Cleveland's administration
for the protection of seals during their
breeding period was thwarted by the ob
jection of Canada , whoso citizens were
obtaining a certain profit from their dep
redations , wasteful as these were. "The
question now presented , is" , saya Mr.
Pholps. "whether the United States gov
ernment uus a rljrht to protect its prop
erty and the business of its people from
this wanton and 'barbarous destruction
by foreigners , which it bus made crim
inal hi * act pf congress ; or whether the
fuot that it takes place upon waters that
are claimed to bo apart of the open sea
affords an immunity to the parties engaged -
gaged in it which -the government is
bound to respect
"Our controversy , " says Mr. Phelps ,
"is really with .Canada , though in our
complaint we must address Gceat Britain ,
who thus stands between us and Canada ,
not as an umpire , but bound to support
the claims of her colony BO far ns she
can. " Hence the policy of evasion pur-
bv hnr maiestv'fi ministers. Mr.
Phelps does not favor arbitration , which
in the present case "is more attractive
in theory than valuublo in practice. "
Mr. Phelps' generous support of Mr.
Blnine , and his plea for tin instant pro
tection of seal and of the seal industry by
putting nn end to the depredations of
individual foreigners , will commend his
paper to the good sense- and patriotism
of every American.
