Cluntarf J nt WantGd. The major vetoed the ordinance extending the corporate limits by taking in Clontarf precinct on the southeast. Unless a change of the charter piovision relating to cornoiato limits could bo secured the passage of this ordinance might seriously interfere with , if not absolutely pievont , the desired exten sion nf the city in the future , as no chature could bo made except whoa an increase of population of at least " 0,000 has been made , us shown by the state or national census. It was not improbable thatsoma satisfactory concessions could bo made by the piopor authorities , so that the bottle-shaped piece of land , which , according to the ice-out decision of the United States supicmo court , belongs to the state of Iowa , could bo ceded to the state of Nebiaska , and other grounds not desiicd by the state of Nebraska or tlio city of Omaha could bo ceded to the state of Iowa. If this should bo done it might bo vary desirable to change the coiporatc lines of the city at points other than nt Clontnrf. As the major viewed the matter , the effect of passing this ordinance might bo vorj- serious nml detrimental to the In terests of the city of Omaha. The benefits to bo douvcd from the passage of this ordi nance , oven if It could bo legally pissed , would be of minor importance and lusig nUUani'o e-ompaicd with the injury that misrht t'O vvoikcd.

It Is only on some such tare occasion as ast evening that an Omaha audience is pcr- rmitcd to listen to so piofound a student , so capable and careful a thlnkor , and so brii- lant an oiator as Kov. Dr. Frank Guusalus , j.istor of the Plymouth Conirte atlonul chuich , Chicago. Mr. Gunsalus did not come as a total stranger , for hems ms been heard in an Omaha aulpit before , and his finely written nstorical story of the refounation m Eu rope , "Tho Monk and Knight , " has contrib uted to the largess of his fume , but Mr. 5uusulus cuino as a lecturer last night und the largo uudiencojllmt heard of the wonder ful life of Glrolamo Savonarola , the subject of the Jocturo , went away with broader ideas , a more perfect understanding of the genius of the man , who lived lu the most brilliant afternoon of medhuval history. Nothing i ould have been more dclizhtful than iho picture the speaker drew of Savon- aiola's early lifo and his Hist love affair , told with all thu grace of a past muster in the art of storj' telling , and then with the ability of a great artist , ha lighted up the lectuio with sharp epigram , humoious invo cation , and laughable situations as he drew lessons from the lowly tr.onk whoso utter ances have left their impress upon the civin- / rtlon of four centuries. Boiinm 1452 , before 20 Savonaroli had become so shocked and saddened by the vices of the brilliant court of Porrara that ho entered the Dominican convent of Bologna , where ho passed seven years in the exeicise of every virtue possiolo In a cloister. Dr. Gunsalus diow a vivid picture of this man tolling with Aristotle , St. Thomas Aquinas and the blblo from which ho learned the gieat truths that aftcrwuids changed thj ( whole character of Europe. The lecturer spoke of Savonaiola as an orator , as a preacher , us a poet , as a status man and lastly as a martyr , picturing with dramatiu intensity the scene at thu stake , in the Piuisa dclha blpnouit\vheu Savonarola's soul ascended to the Master whllo his ashes weio civen to the Arr.o. Here and theio the lectmer diow lessons from Uio lives of Sophocles , Plautus. Horace , Virgil , Tacitus , the splendors of tlio reunaissancc , which , said Dr. Gunsalus , means "reformation" and the bnllnney of the couits in thu tlmo of Loreiuo do Medici , who was at the time of Savonarola's young manhood at Iho height , of his fuino , und the virgin queen , Elizabeth. "As a staiesman Girolamo Savouarala , " said the doctor , "stands out in the moat dazzling brilliancy , lie made Florence a jopubllc , and 15U jcars bofoio the town mcutlm ; at Plymouth ho held a town meeting in Florence. Then , as now , taxation wasn vital thing in tlm econ omy of govoinmuiit , and Sa\ouaiola raised levenues by taxinsf the ilch. which is the ideal manner of pioviding for icvenucb nec- essaiy to the conductor nations. " Piobnbly the most dramatic portion of thn lecture was the scone at thu deathbed of Loienzo , which was given vvltli maunilicout fnico by Dr. Gunsalus. The doctor has u line delivery and u polished style , and Ills scholaily attainment ! ) , coupled with a broad undvigorous | mindiandu-ureoiatorical power , mane Dr Guusalus ono of the Htiong men in the American pulpit und on thu American platform.
