'Tho pioneer ledge of Nebraska of the In dependent Order of Odd Fellows Is Omaha lodge No. 3 , and It is erecting a lasting monument to its stability , enterprise and prosperity , that is creditable both to the city and the order. For a number of years this ledge has been the possessor of a large Interest in the prop erty situated at fourteenth and Dodge streets and known as Odd Fellows hall. This interest the ledge retains. In addition it is the sole owner of the lot adjoining Odd Follows hall on the north and the Oellono hotel on the south. As the membership of the order in this city has Increased year by year and new lodges have sorting Into existence the mem bers of No. li conceived the Idea of a mag- nlllcont Odd Fellows hall that would eclipse in grandeur , beauty and convenience all such In iho midwest. With this idea In view committee's were named and all the prelim inary stops necessary to carry out such an enterprise were perfected. As quickly as possible after the prelimi- nnry ton.s had been taken plans and speclll- vatlons for the construction and reconstruc tion of the building on the 'site were ap proved , the necessary lunds provided nnd the following members were chosen to carry put the construction of the temple- Odd Fellowship : John II. Flanncgan , C. B. Brownleo and W. II. Green. With charac teristic enterprise these gentlemen took hold of matters and pushed them rapidly. A largo force of mechanics and worklngmcn soon demolished the portions of the building occupying the situ that it was intended should bo reconstructed. Tills was some six weeks ago. and in the time Intervening with that and the the present three-story-struc- turo (8 ( nearly inclosed. It is expected that the exterior work will bo completed within three wcolta nt the farthest. It will require until the latter days of January or first days of February to complete the building entire foroccupancy. The building will stand three stories high nnd basument. It will bo'con structed in the main of pressed brick , with trimmings of stone. Particular attention has been given to stability of construction nnd the foundation and walls will stand the itorms of ngcs , so says Building Inspector Tilly. In size the building will boMxOO feet. The frontage of forty-four feet , on Four teenth street , will bo quito attractive in architectural design. Particular attention has been paid to the interior construction nna arrangement of the building for the purposes it was origin- ully Intended. The basement Is high nnd well nrrnngod. Ho'-o are located the boilers that will provide the steam heat. Tlio Jlrst , or ground lloor. is divided Into two llrst-clnss Htorcrooms. The two upper floors are to bo arranged and exclusively devoted to ledge purposes , On the second Jloor , in the rear , will bo located the dining room , 21x40 feet In Izo , Horo. also , will bo an elegantly ap pointed culinary department. The front half of this story will bo apportioned to ladies1 and gentlemen's parlors. From this Jloor the third will bo gained by means of a Htutrway located In the southeast corner. Hero will go the main ledge room. It will bo 40xM ) feet in sl/.o with a ceiling nineteen and one-halt feet high. In the center of tals room will arise n dome from the ceiling which will bo fourteen feet across. This room , as those on the other floors , will bo finished In white onk. Already thp plans for the Interior arrange ments and decorations of the two upper floors have been ugrecd to , as have those for furnishing the samo. The full splendor and beauty of the lodge rooms can better and tiioro fully bo appreciated when thrown open to the 215 members of Omaha ledge , whoso enterprise nud $25,000 have nmdo possible the consummation of the dream for an ideal homo for Odd Follows in this city , Moderu Woodmen' * Duucr.

Duplicating .llumuarlpt. An Italhm Inventor proposes a novel method for duplicating copies of writing. The mechanism for this pur pose ia provided with two pens , sup ported by a framework in such n man ner that tholr points are always in the eamo horizontal plane ; n pen nt 'tho right is intended for the operator or writer , nnd the least stroke made by this pen IB at the same time duplicated by a > on at the loft. The framework is so ! ointed u'nd hinged that tlio pens can bo 'moved in any direction , and a counter balance takes the weight of the Iranio from the hand , so that the act \vrltiug is made almost as easy as with the usual pen and holder , Two ink wells are provided nt the base of the stand , nnd the dipping of a pen in ono well causes the pen to dip in the opposite well ; and when the two sheets of paper to'ba writ ten on are placed parallel to each other and secured , the remainder of the work is as Bimplo as ordinary writing. Tlio instrument is designed especially for furnishing duplicates of contracts and of tho&o legal and other documents which it is often desirable to have duplicated not only in words but also iu the paper and handwriting. i T > VPT * nt inintoxTT GREAT ESTABLlSUMhNT Young People Need Not Postpone ths Wedding - ' ding for Want of Money.

Strolling down the street the other day , on his never-ending search for news , n re porter chanced Into the Peoples Mammoth Installment House at -lU7L'arnnin ! street. Ho was mot nt the door by a gentlemanly clerk nnd treated last as politely ns If ho had come with a dollar or two In his pocket. Ho did not know It then , but has learned it since , but every one who visits that plnco is accorded the most courteous treatment. Hcquestlng to bo shown through the mammoth establishment , ho was led to the basement , that being iho most natural place to commence. Hero was shown a bewildering display of stoves nnd heaters of all sizes , from a small bed room steve up to one capable of heating tlio whole house. There was also n lartro line of heaters for the burning of cither hard or soft real , a complete line of cook stoves with or without reservoirs , nnd complete lines of wrought Iron and steel ranges , gasoline stoves , oil stoves , etc. Then came an almost unlimited stock of steve furnishings , granite ware , blue enamel ware , nlcKcl , tin , copper ware nnd wrought steel steve furnishings. Passing through a door Into n second basement the crockery department was dis covered. Hero was no end of Haviland nnd Dresden ware , complete sots nnd odd pieces , many ot the sets with after-dinner coffees. The display was heightened by the shelves lllled with line glassware , which reflected the light trom the eleetric lamps. Bright colored lamp shades called ones attention to tlio lamp depart ment , where nro to be found lamps of every sbo and degree , banquet lamps , vase lamps , piano lamps in porcelain nnd brass and onyx trimmings , and hanging lamps. Thcro were several hundred other tilings ot interest to houselteepers , but much too numerous to mention. The lirst floor is given up largely to bed room suites , which are displayed in many different styles nnd woods , oak , mahogany , birdseyo mnplc , sycamore and bamboo. For the accommodation ot pcoplo with small houses there are Gunn combination folding beds in the form of wardrobes , bookcases , etc. , also upright beds nnd mantel beds. Mattresses of all kinds nnd prices and bed springs are piled as high as the ceiling. Over on , ono &ldo by way of variety Is a largo line of silverware of all kinds and to suit all -classes of pur chasers. As if this was not enough for one floor they have an annex for the special ac commodation of sideboards , dining room tables , dining room chairs , kitchen cup boards , China closets nnd similar articles of furniture. On emerging irom the elevator on the second lloor the eye is attracted to the ar ray of parlor suits upholstered in Wilton rug , silk brocatelle , silk tapestry , silk da mask and plush , with frames ot quarter sawed oalr , mahogany nnd cherry. Then there are Parisian lounges , nhcnilie lounges in handsome rug designs , Turkish lounges In various coverings and bed lounges. Ar ranged on the opposite side of the room are odd chairs that would delight any woman's heart , gent's easy chairs covered in leather , brass bedsteads and white enamel bed steads with brass trimmings. To fill out the odd corners and give variety to the display are hall trees in a dozen different styles , center stands , library tables , pedes tals , parlor cabinets , book cases and mirrors of every style nnd description. The carpel department is located on the third floor of this mammoth establishment. Here nro to be found complete lines of Eng lish body brusselst , tapestries in nil qualities , velvet , moquotteand ingrain carpots. There are mattings of every variety \vhich they Import direct from China. Japan oil cloths , linoleums and hemp carpeting , fur rugs , Smyrna rugs and Moquette , wllton and ingrain rues of all sizes. There are stacks and stacks of bedding , comforters , blankets and pillows in all qualities. The annex is packed full of ofllco turniture , desks and re volving chairs calculated to meet tne wants of every business man. Last but not least is the display of children's goods , high chairs , rockers , cribs and carriages. This is by no means n complete list of all the goods carried oy this mammoth concern , such a list would till more than nn entire nage of this paper. People a few years ago did not have the advantages of the present generation. Formerly to furnish a house It was necessary to make purchases at a dozen different stores , whereas now there can bo found under one roof everything needed for housekeeping , from a tin cup to a range or from a clothespin to n parlor suit- The People's Mammoth Installment house prldo themselves on prompt deliveries of goods purchased. None but polite salespeople are employed , and there is every accommodation that might bo required by the most exacting , thousands of well furnished homes in. Omaha and vicinity testify to the popularity of this well-known establishment. In con clusion , the reporter thinks it proper to sug gest to the marriageable young men of Omaha that it is high time for them to hurry up and throw off their yoke of bach- clordom and marry ono of our Omaha girls ( and we have so many nice girls ) , settle down nnd become a citizen. If this advice Is generally acted on by the young men , George Francis Train's prediction that Omaha will In 1000 have 300,000 people will surely bo realized. HEBE 13 ROMANCE. A Curious Story of the First Kiiropean- Jiipaueao .Murriuce. At ono time if a Japanese girl married a foreigner she was instantly decapi tated. A Portuguese gentleman , whom wo mot in Yokuhamu , related his exper ience in this direction. IIo went there thirty years ago nnd fell in love with a Japanese girl. Her parents warned her of the fatal consequences of marrying him. Ho was young and ardent and she romantic. "If you afirce to marry mo I will die with you , " lie said. "Then I will marry you , die or live , " the pretty maiden mild. IIo was a Catholic , and ho had prom ised his parents not to marry out 01 * his religion. "Will you join the church ? " ho asked , "Join " biiid bho "wo dlo anything , ; to gether. " They eloped nnd visited the nearest priest , who advised thorn against thplr fatal nwrringo , . but to no purpose. "Sue cannot bo baptized , confirmed nnd married all in the same day , " said tha priest. "She must , " said the lover , "I must , " she said , "for wo both dlo tomorrow morning. " The priest waived a few customary rules to fit the occasion and performed all three ceremonies nt once , nnd then interceded for the bride's Hfo. The mikado decided i hat ho could not behead the Portuguese , but the girl should dlo. The priest warned him , saying ; "She is now a Portuguese , too , and you would better postpone the decapitation until you confer with the Portuguese govern ment. " Time wns granted. The priest per- Btiaded. The husband pleaded. The Portuguese government demanded. After u correspondence which lasted five years , and in which the British , American and other consuls or repre sentatives took much interest , the young woman was permitted to live. Mr. La Rosa , the happy husband , is now In business , with a family surrounding him , lie. it is said , is the first European who dared to marry a Japanese. Emperor William's fondness for dancing is characteristic. He leads the Germans iu all things. . , CLOTHING : HOUSE .N. B. Cor. 15th eind Douglas.
