Colonel Alexander Homeland occupied the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church last evening and spoke for some time on the sub ject of orphans' homes. As the "newsboys friend , " ho has had ample opportunity to ex amine into the subject deeply , and some of the statements ho made with reference to the methods of running such institutions were considerable at variance with thousual way people have or thinklnf. He made It his boast that ho nac never , in all of his work among destitute children , taken one of them to nn orphans' homo , although ho had taken "a good many of them away from such places and put them in good families. Ho had found homes for 400 In this way during the hist four years. He thought orphans' homes should bo no larger than families of thousual size anywhete from seven lo ten members and in reply to the question of how long a child should stay there , he said , "not overnight If you can lind any place ese for it to stay. The manage ments of these establishments have no richt to herd the little ones together until they Iiccomo diseased iu both body and soul. " He told of a nlatron of a "home" in Kansas City who objected to hnvltur real homes found for the waifs under hpr charge , on the ground that it would leave her out of a job , and ho thought this the principal reason why homes for the friendless were con stantly growing in size. "If you have an orphans' homo among you , " ho said , in n tone which was under stood by every ono present , "I'll agree to IIlid homes , and good ones , too , for every Inmate - mate insldo of sixty cloys. If the manauciB of thcso places put thcmselrcs in a wrong position they must expect to be criticised. " At the close of the meeting Colonel Hoge- laud brought before tlio audience a woman and her two llttlo children , whom she was unable to support. Ono was a girl , 10 years old. and the other a boy , several years her junior. Insidoof fifteen minutes the little girl had been taken by Mr. and Mrs. She- ward , two of the members of the congrega tion , and had started for home with her now parent i.

But when it comes to allow ing a com pany to get favors underhandculy , which would never in the world bo granted to it directly , the people of Council Bluffs draw Incline. It lias been suggested that the terminal might be required to give the city u bond to insure the building of the line as now promised. If this company really means to out in a new line , and is acting in good fnlth , it cannot object to giving the city sotno tangible assurance of Its sincerity , and when that is done there Is little likelihood n ( the city refusing to trant M favors that arc reasonable. 1IOSTO.V STOKK.

The railway oniclals at the Union Pacific transfer found a man walking aboul the platform yesterday afternoon , who displayed some of the symptonib of insanity. He an nounced , with a great many manifestations of fear , that there was a conspiracy on hand to kill him. He was on his way from Tacoma - coma , Wash. , to his homo InMaulstee , Mich. , where he has a largo milling establishment. . It was so very apparent that hM uppsr Uory' was nut Just right that ho was taken to the pollen station in order to llnd out just what would better bo done with hit ? . At iho station lie gave his name as Peter Bncber. and said that ho had been to Tacoma - coma for thu purpose of settling up an estate. While there lie learned of the plot to kill him , and gave himself up to the police for protection. On the train he had been constantly tormented with the fear that something terrible was about to happen to him. Ho had about , SUM In his pocket , and thought that the object of the conspiracy was robbery. Ho wiis afraid lo go on his way alone and offered to pay the expenses of an bftlecr who would go with him lo see that he arrived at his home In safety. Chief Scanlan decided to take his offer , turn the two starled for Michigan lasl evening , On most subjects the unfortunate man Bccmed to be as rational as any ono , but i when ho commenced to talk about hio money his reason forsook htm and he rambled in his conversation in it way that showed beyond all doutlt that his brain was affected. It was thought by the police that posslb'y lie might have been drugeed and an attempt made to rob him , and that the effects of this unpleas ant experience might not have worn away.

"I don't ' take la as much money la the course of a day now as I used to by a long shot , " was ttio remark of a motor conductor yesterday In response to a question put to him by one of the patrons of the line , U is needless to add that he did not know he was talking for puolicalion , "It was not very long ago that my train running between Council Bluffs and Oaiaha nvcr4ed 133 a day tbo year around.

CO , the fast msat cxpross between Chicago and New York , pulled Into this city last night with eight desperate robbers on hoard. Between i.ero and Klkhart they had nindu repe.Ued eftoits to imcoiiplo a number of oars , with , it is believed , the Idea of wrecking the fast express which passes hero close behind the meat train. No. (10 ( passed out of Klkhart at 12:30 : this morning. When H had left Klkhart a mile bahind the train craw , which consisted of Conductor Hickok and iwo hraUemun , found thai clcht men were on Hie train , having concealed themselves between the cars. The fellows tried to uncouple the ten last ears of the train , but tliolr efforts were foiled after a hard flirlit. The crow , however , were not able to drive the men off. Five miles further on another attempt was made to uncouple the cars nnd another lignt ensued , which lasted until the train pulled into Goshen. Hickok and one of the brakcineii were tiadly uutlerc'd in the tight. The engineer blow his whistle for help , ami in a , few mitiuics two onlcers and a crowd of men reached Ihe train , but the robbers had inudo their escape , taking with 4hom three watches and a small sum of money , which ( .hey . had taken from the trainmen. Later in the nicht two men named /Am- meuium and Cone , who had some of the stolen money on them , were arrested. Xim- mcrman claims to live in ICendallvllle , Ind. , and Cone in Benton Harbor , Mich. The contradictory stories tok1 by the former , all of which have proven false , practically is cnougn to convict him. It is believed by the Lake Shore oflicials that the men intended to leave the uncoupled cars standing ou the track to wreck the express train and then plunder it President INewell of the Like Shoretoday offered n reward ot $4,000 for the capture and conviction of the eight men or $500 for the capture of any of them. The express train which the robbers tried to wreck is the same train which was robbed at Kesler , Ind. , last September. U HIJ f.lMltV. Awful Deed oT an Inilluna Farmer Willie lllSUIl" .

John Foster , a wealthy but er ratic farmer of Unlontown , In a lit of tem porary insanity Saturday killed his wife and three chlldrei. with a revolver and then brew out his own brains. Foster hns always been regarded as a little weak-minded and queer. Several years aeo he and his wife separated. Uecently a reconciliation was , effected and Foster returned to his family. There was uo direct evidence , but the position of the bodies snows that she was the first to meet her fate. She was shot through the tnek of the head. The children were found dead in the next room , and from their position had evidently been aroused frira peaceful slum bers by the shot that killed their mother. The oldest child , a boy. was found with his hands clasped as if in the attitude of prayer. He was shot through the head , as were the other two children ] The'father , after tak ing the life of his little ones , returned to the dead body of his wife , and , placing the pistol to his head , completed his fiendish work.

'i 11 It was somewhat dlsa eablo for ghosts to vcnlurq out last ijl ht , even had each ethereal wanderer from the spirit world , been clad In a mackintosh and goloshes. Fog and drizzle , however , inspired no ter ror in the hearts of about 103 of Omaha people ple who assembled at Washington hall to sec "f plrltliallstlo phenomena. " There were many ladies In the audience. For several days past Prof. Charles Ffilin- ton of I.ortdon and Prof. C. Frank Kincrson of Melbourne , under the management of a heavy-weight "diplomat" from Minneapolis , named li. IX Smith , have advertised that they would give a test of "great spiritual istic powers" last evening at the above n a in oil place. They made public statements that "dur ing their seance , materialization of forms , hands amf faces would take place , tables lloat hi air , talks with spiritual friends would bo had , deceased f rlonds would bo described , " the iminuger to refund the admission fee. The trouble commenced about 0 o'clock. Tho'audience had patiently sat through the program up to that hour amid whisperings of "humbuggory , " "fraud , " etc. The usual formality of selecting "acommittee from the audience" was gone through with. Dr. H. H. .Tatiscn , .lames Wilson and II. Schoan- lleld were chosen to represent the audience , which they did In an excellent manner , Mr. Schocnllcld being largely instrumental in unmasking the fraud. Spirit ! "ralltcil 'llironcli Their lint * . " Prof. Kmerson then started the wheels by working that superauuatcd trick known ns "voices from the spirit world , " in the.forinof names written on slips of paper , deposited In a hat by members of the audience. A "spir itual" handkerchief was placed over the hat and then the suit-its told Kmerson the names. Out ot the llfty names plucen in the hat he 'only repeated eight , and it was clearly evident that ho got the wrong tip from some spirit when lie gave a name that could nut bo found in the hat by the committee. The professor was somewhat ombarrr.sseJ by the break. The manager rushed to his rescue , however , and , in response 10 a question irom ino audience , smilingly said that "they really had no explanation to make" as to how this "spiritualistic phenomena" occurred. Judge Eller , who occupied a front suit , arose and stated that he had placed the name of Abraham Lincoln in thq hat and the com mittee then discovered that two slins con taining the name of the martyred president , were in the mysterious tile. A general laugh followed theannouucement. Thespirits had evidently " 'luffed the ballot" or else two Lincoln enthusiasts in the audience hud their minds in the same channel when they slipped the nnnio into thoMiat. Conimittepman Sohoentield about this time began to detect the odor of a very large- sized mouso. So did the-uudlenee. Kmerson retired to the wiurs.\Viiie"his ! partner , Prof. Kglinton , endeavored- pacify the crowd ttith somu "tricks , " as he termed them. He was candid enough to admit that ho had no communication with .spiritland either by telephone or mental telegraphy. Prof. Em erson posscsssd all the ' spiritualistic" power , ' cto. Tlio young man front London gave an exhibition slate writing and mind reading. He g ° \ rntjlod once , however , in his arithmetic , but the heavy manager brushed aside a clould of'impending gloom , with a stairc smile that partially checked the growing indignation df l\\\i \ \ people. Acquaintance Win I.iniltod. Prof. Emerson appt'ai- In his second turn in which ho walked down the aisle among the audience and announced-that ho would now talk with -'deceased friends" of persons in the audience. He did not go into a trance to accomplish this , but rubbed his hand over his forehead , twirled his spectacles and after closing his eyes a few moments called the spirit's name. Some one in the audience would quickly catch the cue and the professor would then plunge into spiritual biographies. After flvo tests of this kind the medium started for the stage , when he was inter rupted by cills from other members of the audience who also wanted to hear from their friends in the spirit world The professor's acquaintance with the spiiits was evidently limited , because he turned a deaf car to all entreaties and retired hahind the scenes. Cries of "fraud" rang through the hall , tatid II. Neble , editor of the Daulsh Pioneer , ad vanced to the stage and denounced the en tertainment as a rank falto. His senti ments wore applauded. Emerson rushed out from behind the scenes and offered to Dot Neblo 5100 that ho could prove to the contrary. Neble did not weaken , but promptly accepted the offer , much to the surprise of the "medium , " who fumbled around his clothes , but could not find the "century" to back up his bluff. "Go ahead anyway" shouted Neblu , "I defy you to exercise spiritual powur over mo , or even bring mo a mcssairc from any of my dead friends. " This nettled the professor and he ad vanced before the audience with Noble to prove that he was still on speaking terms with the spirits , but there was where the "medium" wasmlstaken. Ho failed , utterly , in the presence of the disgusted audience , to UUU lllawlUllJlB tU uianiiwuuii na t\u Interpreter of the dead. The audience gave blm ono more cha'ncn for vindication , namely a lest with -Mr. Duvall. Stoppou the Seance. The spiritual dicky birds , however , had eviaently retired early. They refused to whisper any more pointers. Emerson gave up in despair , but said , when asked for an explanation , that ho could do it tomorrow. Tlio manager ordered the curtain down , but no sooner hud it started to descend ore there was a wild rush of indicnant citizens for the stage. Kmcrson was soon the center of an angry group. Ho was given every oppor tunity to make a satisfactory statement , but could not do so. Manager Smith was also surrounded by people who demanded that he refund the admission foes. This ho refused to do. He al o repulsed a proposi tion to donale S of Iho receipts to charity. Tlio presence of ladies checked any boisterous conduct on the part of the as semblage. At 11 o'clocic everybody had loft the hall , tno lights were extinguished and the farce was over. Must Close ou Similar. KANSAS Cm , Nov. 30.

"I thauk nod. I can , " just because ho had the grace to decline to elope with the woman xvhom ho has persuaded to ask him to do so. Some men would have gone on" about their busi ness after a woman refused to marry them and have let her nlono. His incumbent on a gentleman to wash his hands , but there is no iiso to write a book about it. The women in the book who rotate round the central light arc of no interest. One Is n musical genius who must have certain things to oat or she cannot compose , onu Is said to bo very brainy and is exhibited by a man who Is supposed to have "discovered" her In a style that Is rather ludicrous in a small way , and the only woman In the book who exhibits thn least womanliness is ut terly without tact , ono might almost say without common sense. Are real generous hearted , sympathetic women always unin teresting and insipid f Mr. Benson would have us believe so. But all the interest In the book lies In the woman called Dodo a name which just suits her. A woman with one article to her creed , "I must have lots of money , a bl ? must and a big lots , " who has ono rule by which she decides what gives her pleasure. A thing to be of value must bo unattainable. For instance , when her husband dies and begs her to marry his cousin unl rival , with whom she. has been in love all along , sue loses interest In him , as there is no reason in the world whv she should not marry him. When her only child dies she is determined to dance all night because it is supposed to be improper for a mother to attend a great ball inside of three weeks after such au event. And dance she does. From the be ginning of the book to the end she never be trays one womanly characteristic , is never in earnest or sensible. She is unutterably silly , selfish and cruel. Just what aim or intention the author had in mind in presenting such a spectacle for women and men to contemplate is beyond imagining. Ho certainly never intended it as an object lesson , since he has all the good men for miles around worship her and ap pear blind to her faults or to forgive them , because she is Dodo. Mr. Benson appears to have as little respect for his own sex as ho has for womankind.

Marion Crawford's "Marion Darcho" lucks none of the dramatic force for which the author is so well known , although the de nouement is rathsr tame. The style is easy and graceful , but as the story "ends right" it will bo enjoyed by the readers of fiction , who like to believe that some men ( in books ) will do anything for a woman's sake. The man who tried to be a hero did a good deal In this one , and strange to suy the woman seemed to appreciate it. McMillan & Co. , Now York City.
