AdilrcM of Wnlcoiiioi
Mrs. A. J. Turkic of Omaha made the ad
dress of welcome. Mrs. Turklo said :
"Mrs. President , Delegates nnd Visitors
to the Convention :
"In behalf of the societies and churches of
the general synod In Omaha , Grace , St.
Mark's and Kountzo Memorial and our sister
church , St. John's of Council Bluffs , I extend
to you n hearty welcome. Welcome to our
church , to our city nnd to our homes , to all
the comfort and cheer wo can give you.
"Wo think ourselves fortunate and happy
In having your presence and fellowship.
Great honor Is conferred upon us by your
presence , coming ns you do with such rich ex
periences of dlvlno favor , to plan for greater
cnicionoy in the advancing of Chrits's king
dom. Sometimes these conventions nro asked
for because of local pride. butdc.irfriondswo
nsk because of local need. Some people say :
What Is the good of a convention ? Well ,
God found It of some use when Elijah was
discouraged to toll him that there were 7,000
men who had not bowed the knee to Baal.
Sometimes the older workers In the church
nnd society bccomo discouraged nnd the
younger have not tried , so it Is a good thing
to know thai wo are n pariof a mighly army
of God's people who still work and pray on.
So the sight of your countenances , bright
ened by faith in the Lord Jesus and glorilled
with the tiopo of dlvlno benediction , must
animate us , quicken our missionary zeal and
stimulate to now endeavor. Hero in the
'Gate city of the west , " at the very entrance
of our borne Hold , wo grcei you , knowing
from experience nnd observation what good
homo missions have done for us und still
continuo to bonellt.
"In this city the llrst mission west of thp
Missouri was planted , in faith and trust , by
Allegheny synod , before ever wo were or
ganized as a woman's society or oven a board
commenced its work. This is home mission
ground and this is the llrst , lime you as a cen
oral society have met on the border land of the
great west. So wo welcome you in an espe
cial manner to this great west , teeming as il
docs with its thousands of souls. Our needs
nnd future are great , as you will see iu
looking over the harvest Held.
Wo give you fair notice that-wo anticipate
receiving more than wo give , although wo
give you nil wo can. I do not believe thut
the twelve apostles could liavc mot together
after 1'outecost to consult about their work
without leaving a blessing behind them , and
I know ns you como to consider the oppor
tunity und needs for greater service in mis
sions in this Columbian year your discus
sions and decisions , your conversation and
your example , will bo a stimulus and inspir
ation to the societies and churches.
"Tho earth is the Lord's by right , and II is
given us today to send the gospel and mis
sionaries to declare His possession and leai
men to acknowledge it. Wo can hear iho
call oven as wo listen , nnd how mightily il
comes , nnd how humanity is stretching its
hands to God , the God whom wo servo and in
whoso uamo wo are this evening assembled
The church must prepare a way and reapers
to put in the sickles , for lo I iho Held is white
for llio harvest and wo us women want to do
our part In the grand work. Tbus let" our
deliberations at this convention bo rich In
methods lo pursue and plans for fulure of
forl. Lcl us como lo know one another am
our hearts grow warm within us as wo work
for Christ aud the church.
' 'Friends , again iu the name of tin
churches , I welcome you to our city , ou :
homes , to our hospitality , and I welcomi
you to the contemplation of the opportunity
nnd needs of tlio mission Hold , at homo and
. ubroad. "
Sirs , llndKlcy KospomU.
Mrs. J. B. Dadgloy of Mlddleburgh , N. Y.
responded in a felicitous manner to tlu
gracious address jusl quoted. Mrs. Badgley
said la part :
' 'Westward the star of empire takes Its
way. '
"Probably not slnco the days of Its uttor-
nnco has this adage had greater slgnilleasco
than in this Columbian year , with the now
life and meaning which this ago of
progress breathes into old tmths.
may we not accept n more pertinent
meaning in these words , nnd claim for them
such an interpretation us may apply their
truth to tno gathering hero assembled.
This eighth convention of the Wo
man's Homo nnd Foreign Missionary
society , of our general synod , lias caught
tholr inspiration und answered with hearty
response to the invitation of the west. * * *
An wo recall the beginning of this organ
ization and follow it through the years of its
existence , we cannot fail to offer our tribute
of praise and hearty thanks to our faithful
axocutlve committee und other otllcors , the
most of whom have been associated with Iho
society since its organization. * * *
"For Just this work , which woman can do ,
the church bus waited long. The church
lias been so slow to interpret the Muster's
message , 'Sho Hath Done What She
Could.1 So loner tins Die prejudice of silence
In the church been nurtured and instilled ,
till It is not so easy for all to wako out of
sleep.
"Education must be Instituted and per-
potuutod. * * For wo have readied
thut point in our history where there is but
one condition for us to recognUo. It isOn
ward.- The tlmo is past when Intelligent
Christian women can maintain a passive
attitude toward the missionary operations
of the church and fulfill a reasonable serv
ice. It is unquestionably clear thut she must
ilo the work. "
I'roaldimt'a Address.
After the singing of the first , second ana
third verses of hymn -U12 , the president ,
Mr * . A. V. Hunter of Columbia city , Ind , .
read her address , apart of which U quoted
below :
"Thanks to Iho gracious providence
That Jjrlnga us hero once moro ;
For memories of the good behind ,
And hopes of good boforo. "
"My Dear Go-Workers : Iu the splrll of
Mary of old , lot us humbly how al His feet '

"As such ambassadors 1 salute and groc
you , my slitcrs , ns In His name we art

MiY Hunter then spoke of the beloved
lead of : h * organisation in a feeling manner
After speaking of the work of the society
In n general way , Mrs , Ilimtrrcontinued :
"Our work , to bo progressive , must bo
educational , nnd to this end the literature of
the church must bo widely disseminated , I
wish I could more strongly Impress this fact
upon nil within the sound ot my volco. Iho
women should bo thoroughly familiar with
the knowledge gained 11 rough this most
potent factor of Instruction ,
" "I have lx > en led to believe that few appre
ciate the value of our general literature com
mittee. Faithfully nnd constantly have it *
members labored to fully ttnbiio the minds
of the women of all our auxiliaries with the
snlrlt of n deeper research Into the alms and
methods of our organization , with Its attend
ant responsibilities. It Is Impossible to bo
actively Interested In anything we do not
understand , ami ns equally Impossible to
understand without some effort on our part
to do so. The general literature committee
provides the way , that all who will may
como to the fount of knowlr-dge.
4 < I wish the
to urge upon all auxiliaries
Importance of this ono branch of their
duties. Supply your societies with nn
abundance or missionary literature nnd have
It publicly road at your meetings , thereby
Interesting those who will not road for
themselves. " '
Mrs. Hunter referred to the necessity of
frequent correspondence between general
synodlcal and auxiliary officers , and the
need of the organization for young women to
study medlcjno and take up work In the
India missionary Hold , and closed with a
brief review of work done and to bo done ,
asking In conclusion for the Dlvlno blessing
upon the clTorts of the organization.

The fairest blossoms of the year were
present at Boya's now theater last evening.
There were flowcrj in profusion , while
mdslo lent its clurms to the occasion.
Commencement exorcises of the Omaha
High school have always been features of
the educational llfo of this cltv. Each class
that has gone out from Us nlnr.i mater has
bicn heralded as "tho highest and host body
of boys nnd girls over graduated. " But
surely no class could bo superior to the
sixty-three young men and women who were
presented with diplomas last evening by the
vlco president of the Board of Education.
The "sweet girl graduate" of last evening
was a vision of tulle , roses , loveliness and
hope.
At'tcr the march of the graduates to tholr
places on the stage to the music of the or
chestra and the entrance of the ronrosenta-
lives of the schools of the city , Prof. Homer-
Lowls. Superintendent Frank FHzp.Urlck ,
Henry C. Akin , osq. ] , acting president of the
school board , and Dr. Joseph T. Duryoa , the
exercises of the evening were commenced
by I'fcd Van Horn , whoso oration , "Tho
Touch of a Button , " was thoroughly well
considered ,
Killson Did the Host.
Commencing with n recital of President
Clovoland's.qpontngof ( the Columbian exposi
Ii tion I by touching a button , ho traced the
evolution i II of electricity nnd the manifold uses
to I which it is put In these latter century
days. (
"When Ben Franklin for nn afternoon's
amusement , " said- the young orator , "hitched
the lightning to the tail of his Id to ho llttlo
thought that ho had captured n sprite more
potent than Ariel and that through this ap
parently most intractable of ttjo elements
would bo wrought deeds before which the
magic of Merlin would palo aud seem com
mon place. "
"Wo seem determined that mental pro
cesses shall keep pace with mechanical con
trivances , and great results with llttlo ex
ertion scorn to bo the universal aim. This
statd of alTairs causes many people to take
a very pessimistic view of things generally
and to declaru that men are losing strength
mentally nnd physically ; that it is only a
question of time when , because of the little
need wo have of using them , both our brain
and muscle will entirely disappear , ns did
the tails witli which Darwin credited our
ancestors. Wo are willing to recognize ns a
benefactor the man who makes two blades
of grass grow where only ono grow before ,
but wo hall ns a god the man who enables
us to do In ono minute what before took two
to accomplish. And why not ? Who saves
time saves life , for tlmo Is the stuff that
llfo is made of. "
Misses Hittio D3 Graff and Nelllo French
played with delightful technique Beetho
ven's "Sonata Palhetiquo op. 131' for four
hinds. Tlio young ladies were not flurried
and .tho selection showed thai notwith
standing the young women had their hands
full of the "ologics" ' and "isms" they still
had time enough to look after their music.
1'cn Picture of a Society Mini.
"The Modern Society Man" was the felici
tous title of Miss Louise Mathcwson's essay ,
and the scoring thai hot house ilowor re
ceived from this young woman was thor
oughly enjoyed by tho" representative audi
ence that tilled the opera house from pit to
gallery. Delivered in a dignified , well ar
ticulated manner , it wns a positive hit not
withstanding the picture was somewhat dis
torted.
"No ono would fancy for a moment that
the society man of today sprang Hko Minerva
from the head of Jupiter. " was Miss
MathowSon's opening thought. "Tho birth
of the society man as we know him , occurred
years after the Liberty boll had swung and
rung , -lie did not spend his babyhood in
antique rockers and crawl through Infancy
on bare floors. " Picturing a scene at a
crush , she thus painted the hero of her
essay : "Ho swayed her white plumed fan
and she toyed \vitii the chrysanthemum ,
odorless , bul stylish. Bui ho broke Iho
thread of romance which my fancy had
dared to weave by saying : -Beastly hot ,
isn't ill Didn'l see you al Iho A's last night.
Dull , but the food was Immense. ' Then the
strain of an opening dance stole forth and
the society man said : 'May I have this
waltz1 ? The broadcloth arm then went
around the brocade waist. "
Otis G. Whlpplo. a manly young follow
with an excellent voice , acclaimed "Tho Un
known Speaker , " a wonderfully clever story
of the signing of the Declaration of Inde
pendence.
The pleasing feature of the evening was
the selection thai came next , a violin duet ,
"Andante Cantabllo , " by Mr. Bert Butler , a
member of the graduating class , and Miss
Erth G. Schwantz , with Mr. Frank Rlley as
accompanist.
Cnstles of Kthornl ISulld.
Miss Marion H. Schibsby built for her
friends a series of "Castles in Spain" thai
quite won the fancy of the audience. She
prefaced her essay with the thought that
her castles were not Hko the Alhambra or
some of the ruined homes of gone Kings , but
her castles were built out of summer skies
and fleecy clouds.
Harrison Oury , president of the class. ,
which has for its motto "Sompnr Agito , "
followed , after an orchestral number , with
an oration entitled , "Does it Pay ? " a most
creditable ] effort on the nart of the young
orator. In the course of his oration , Mr.
Oury said : "Tho Americans are pro-oml-
nenily a commercial people : they are pos
sessed of the fierce energy of Industrial and
material progress. They do not stop with
material things. They place the dollar
mark on mind and matter alike and seem to
think thai the only road to success and hap
piness Is the road to wealth. Visit the high
schools of the country ; you will Und the
graduating classes composed mainly of girls.
There Is bul ono explanation for this , the
boys nave loft school to engage In some com
mercial pursuit whjch brings them the vast
sum of MO per month and In return leave
them Intellectual dwarfs.
"Tho social problem Hko the mythical BrI-
arous lifts its hundred hands with threaten
ing aspect. Political dissensions , and the
Insidious power of money assail the state.
Financial heresies threaten to undermine
the foundation of credit ; the result of u
prize light is walled for with breathless ex
pectation by thirty millions of pooplo. "
Miss Ada M. Stone recited Longfellow's
"King Itobcrt of Sicily" mosl artistically.
Miss EloUo Clark , who is possessed of a
sweet soprano voice , sang with charming
effect Novin's bright composition , "Ono
Spring Morning , " and a madrigal by Cham-
iualo.
AdvertUliig ni nn Art.
"A Modern Art" was the subject of Miss
Georgia Llmlscy's essay , which she idollnou
us the "arl of advertising. " In many re
spects this wns the paper of the evening ,
nnd received close attention from the audi
ence. It was conscientious In treatment and
what is mosl galling painted In true colors.
"As early as Drydcu's day authors dared
to dabble In merchandise would that they
had been ns early confounded but now for
the flrst time in the hlstorv of human events
merchants nro turning their hand at letters ;
Not content with the pencil , they have
taken up the brush , so thai advertising is
propnrly a very witches' broth of letters ,
arts and sciences. The advertiser him
self delles classification. Ho neither claims
nor desires the title of author or jourmUlst ;
yet , strange to say , bo furnishes a largo
portion of newspaper reading matter , and
without him the newspaper would flourish
little longer than the flower of the Hold.
There Is a certain contemporary of his who
flics in tbo vary face of nature with his sign
boards nnd his llttlo ) > ot of paint. Ho leaves
'tongues in trees , books In the running
brooks , sermons Iu stones,1 and ads on
everything. " Street car advertisements ,
posters and newspaper advertisements re
ceived treatment at her hands as well as
tlio sandwich gentlemen who perambulate
our streets.
"But most entertaining of all , " said this
gifted young Momauare the want column
advertisements of the dully press 'of the
people , by the people and for the pooplo.1 "
Closing she tritely remarked : "Oui Tenuv-
sous are at present engaged In writing odek
to soap , our Raphaels are making pictures'
for Hodforn. our MTchnol Angeles nro modelIng -
Ing waxworks for ( iusoums. "
8nplnllKiAo ( the Fntarn.
Kussoll Wilbur's oration on "Tho Socialism
of the Future" shdwoil gro.it care In props-
ration. It was njrhovghtful treatment of
the question and snffwdd the mature mind of
the young man , wha abas boon considerable
of n prodigy slnco his babyhood. It was a
much deeper treatment of the subject than
one would expect tp tune fromn High scho61
graduate and Indubitably showed the thor
ough work being done by Prof. Lewis and
his corps of teachers.
Miss Clarissa Wilholmy nnd Htanchn Hob-
Inson piano Schubert's "March
gave n dtijSchubert's
Mllltalro , " nnd then , Miss Jessie Thain
closed the specchmaSIng for the class by
reading an essay , ontiilcd , "Tho Survival of
the Untlttcst. " A pretty girl , and one ot
the brightest members ot her class , she
rounded out the program with credit to her
self ns well as to the class.
Dr. J. T. Duryca. on behalf of the Board
of Education , then occupied the platform fern
n few minutes In nn carno.it talk of the
trust , reposed by the people of Omaha In Ihe
members t of the Board of Education. "It
ought to bo your privilege to call the noblosl
the best of your fellows to direct this trust ,
There nro deep feelings which would
become strong oniotlons did tlmo
permit , but I might touch your
hearts by describing what t saw
once. A stranger came to mo and asked mete
to talk to the people about the now educa
tion. I asked him whoro. 1 would find the
people and ho said on a festival day to be
provided for. And I went. It was the day
before the schools opened , when the leafage
was at Us choicest , when nature was at its
best. The parents were there nnd the child
ren too , and speeches were made. This w.is
the truly Grecian way of conducting such
things and I would that llanscom park might
ring with the voices of children , with band
music to cclobrato Iho opening of each term
of school. "
Trliilo Alllnncn of Kdiicntlon ,
The doctor then passed to an explanation
of the now education previously referred to
nnd the manner In which the new culture Is
to bo obtained. "The homo , the school and
the church should bo n trl-unlt. Does the
school yet rank with the homo and the
church ? The very moment you think
of this , parents , you should tuko
only the best you can got nnd ordain them
Hko a priest nt iho altar to educate und train
your boys und girls. I regard the kindergarten
ns the extension of the homo. I have no pa
tience with that sordid materialism , thai says
teach the boys and girls to got a liv-lnp.
The bcsl wo are , the best wo have nnd the
best wo nro to bo comes to us through the
common schools. Could the members of the
city council look upon this picture they
would vote us all the money wo needed for

CONEY ISLAND ATHI.KTIC Ct.un , Juno 22.
The three crack bouts scheduled to take
place before the Coney Island Athletic club
tonight proved a very nttr.iotlvo drawing
card. Betting on each event was pretty
nearly even. Mlko Leonard was favorlto
ever George Hoynolds. Billy Ernest had a
largo number of admirers , but Billy Vnrnon ,
the Havel-straw brlckmnkcr , was a slight
favorlto over Ernest. Jim DAly , former
sparring p.irtnor of Jim Corbctt , had a larao
following , but the Philadelphia men almost
to a unit backed Butler , the colored man.
This bout was considered the leading event
of the evening.Thoro was n crowd of 5,000
when proceedings were begun.
At twenty minutes to 0 George Reynolds
and Mlko Leonard opened the flrst bout.
Both displayed considerable science nnd
were gluttons for punishment. Leonard
was the stronger in the ninth and after
opening up a big gash in Reynolds' cheek ,
pounded htm about the ring until ho had
him out.
Tlio men scarcely loft the ring , when Billy
Vernon popped up on the stugo and was
heartily applauded. While the crowd was
still cheering Ernest and his seconds camo.
The men opened cautiously. It was a purely
scientific contest. In the fourth Ernest
started to force matters , but Vernon was so
clover that ho could not progress , The fifth
witnessed some lovely exchanges with honors
easy. In the sixth Vernon had decidedly
the best of the points. In the seventh round
Vernon appeared to freshen up considerably.
Ho started hi to rush matters but was
fought into his corner. In the eighth nnd
last round Ernest showered blows upon
Vornon.
The llnal bout of the evening was bctwonn
Butler and Daly.
Hound 1 Daly feinted several times and a
clinch followed. Daly followed up with a
smash and landed his left on the colored
man's Jaw , and was countered lightly by the
colored man on the jaw. Daly was by fur
the cleverest.
1 Jo und 2 Daly was the flrst to load in the
second , and caught the ' 'conque" four ti.nes
without a return. Just at the call of time
Daly landed on the stomach and swung with
his right us the bell mug.
Hound H Daly was knocked down repeat
edly. Ho got up gamely each time , though
so weak on his feet ho could scarcely stand.
Hound ! Daly got one on the Jaw. Ho
landed several times on Butler's oyo.
Hound 5 Both mon came up we.ik. But
ler nunishcd his man all over the ring.
Hound 0 D.ily swung his right , but ho
was too weak. Butler rushed Daly across
tr.o stage , Jabbing him on the jaw , sending
him to the lloor with great for < -e. Daly was
groggy when ho got up. The ttmo of the'
last round was two minutes and ton seconds.

STAR CIIAMISiit : SiSI.V. : .
Cotincllinoii Hold n Sncrot Mcotlnf ; on the
ravinir J'riilili'in.
Tlio supreme court of Nebraska is to b3
given an opportunity to pass upon the powers
and rights of the city government in creat
ing districts and ordering them paved , This
action was determined upon at a star cham
ber session of the council hold yosterduy
afternoon.
In addition to Iho councilmcn present at
the secret conclave were Mayor Hoinls , City
Engineer Kosowiilor , Attorney Council anil
Chairman Blrkiiuuser of the Uoard of Pub
lic Works.
The secret session was unknown except tea
a few. Tlio meeting lasted for nearly two
hours and tlio entire Dhaso of the paving
situation was gone over. Tlio idea was to
hit upon n policy to bo pui-Biiod in order to
sccuro an opinion from the supreme court
dcllniug thii powers of the council and the
rights of the properly OWIIOI-H. The recent
opinion of Judge ) Walton 1ms not straight
ened out matters in the least , and the
paving muddle is us u.idiy mixed as ever.
The plan the council has lilt upon Is
rather a novel one and gives pruspoct of ouo
department of the city government man-
damiislng another. A district is to bo se
lected and the tlnnl ordlnanco ordering tlio
Board of Public Works to Im-o it p.vvcit will
bo passed. The board , It U expected , will
refuse to proceed In view of Judge Walton's
decision , and then the city aUiirnoy will go
to the supreme courl and apply for
a writ of mandamus to compel
the board to enter Into contract
for tlio paving of the district. In the selec
tion of the district ono will ho taken willed
will embrace all of the question ; ) at issilo ,
as It is tlio ijealro to secure a very compre
hensive opinion from the court.
Ju the manner outlined tlm council expects
to secure an Immediate hearing and decision
from the court. AH to whether there Is any
paving done this year will depend entirely
upon what the supreme court . .olds In Ha
opinion. A special session will bo h ld Sat
urday to pass tlio necessary llnal ordinance.
