DR.MACKAYSORRYTOSEEIIER Do Rcgrcta the Advent of the Now Woman , BRINGS WITH HER A TROOP OF EVILS Me Hope * She Will Tint Star I.onff mill tlmf < lip Sex Will Profit from Her l'i- Iicrltnce. Mev. T. J. Mackay of All Saints' church yctterday morning preached to a largo con gregation , taking as his topic "The Now Departure In Woman's Life. " His remarks were listened to with more than the ordinary attention. Rev. Mockay began by saying that It was Apparent even to the most superficial stu dent of history that there was a great con trast between the civilization of the present clay and that of the pagan era. The story of the pagan world was ono of licentiousness and corruption , of the disregard of human life , of a debased condition of woman , while tcdby there are only foul spots In the body politic and In the social life which do not reach the vitals and which may and will be removed In time. "In no sphere 19 this advance so notable ns In the advance of woman , " continued the preacher , and then he went on to draw n pic ture of the condition of the woman of the past and the woman of the present. He raid the woman of the pagan times was never supposed to have attained the age of rt-LFon and experience , but was looked upon nn a sex created to please nnd obey. Im morality was no bar to social distinction. In fact , an Immoral woman ; If she were bright , witty and beautiful , aspired to the highest culture , while the homes of domes tic and virtuous women were considered dull nnd wearisome. In short , the religion of paganism failed to direct the attention of women to high and holy things , failed to recognize the soul and crushed down the highest aspirations of that soul. "Look abroad on the Christian civilization of today , " went on Mr. Mackay , "and be hold the contrast. The royal road to learn ing has been thrown open to womankind. Scarcely an avenue to any honorable em ployment heretofore open only to men can now bo found closed to her ambition. The nrts nnd sciences , literature , politics , mer chandise , and even the bar an-J the pulpit nnd the science of medicine , are today as fieely opening their doorg to uomen as lo men. The women of today In Intellectual life are the equals , often the superiors , of men. They have their clubs and organiza tions for the purpose of studying social and political problems heretofore supposed to be tha exclusive domain of men. It Is true that tl < ls advance has been slow , but It has been sure , nnd never was there a time In the. history of the- world when the future of women seemed so bright. " Mr. Mackay slid that ho was rcjolcsd to see this emancipation , because ho felt that it would bring about a better understanding between the sexes , that It would result In a better and a moro liberal education for women , and that the idea would disappear that inarKago was the end and aim of Woman's existence. LOSING ADMIRED QUALITIES. Yet he thought that It had swept away .niuch that should have been prs3rved In woman. He asserted that the * new woman was losing that .modesty and shrinking retire ment which was once the distinguishing mark of her se * , nnd her greatest protection. Thcss qualities have become almost excep tional and their opposltes almost universal in the struggle to Imitate , man In his air , department nnd eyen ccstume and language. Mr. Mackay especially warned against , the loss of the modesty and purity which shrink ? frcm even the appearance of evil , qualities which the most' cynical and b'aso of men ndmlre In ' woman. It.would not do to.say to , . this that'no moro ought to ba expected from n girl or woman than from Q man or or a boy. Whllei the latter should be pure and modest , yet they wore intended by their maker to grapple vlth the rough and dis agreeable side of n * . They were physically nnd mentally , fitted for a life of toll and Etruggle , and thcsa very qualities of rugged endurance which ore admired In men would males n woman the very opposite of what God Intended lier. The trouble was that In this new departure woman deserted her own sphere and encroached upon man's. The result , ) n the preacher's opinion , would be that woman would imitate man's vlcss , would lose her feminine nature ; her finer nature would bj blunted and she would deteriorate. The preacher found another danger In ths movement. In the fact of physical deteriora tion. He held that no matter how masculine a woman might strive to make herself , yet It remained that her cons-ltutlon would not permit her to long compete with men In pursuits requiring physical strength and en durance. "The result must be , " continued the speaker , "generation of men and women growing weaker physically and wanting In all the qualities which have made nations Invincible , for to make a nation great we must have wives and mothers strong physi cally and morally , as well as mentally , I do not deny any woman the. right to earn her own support , If under the circumstances she is compelled to do { 6 , but she should realize her danger and In time of health lay up for a rainy day. Her frailer body will fall In a long race , her nervous system wilt not Bland the strain of that long continued and Intensa appl'oatlon which men are com pelled to Vxert In order to win BUCCJSS. DEPLORABLE WAGE COMPETITION. "Thero la another danger arising from the business comeptltlon of women with men , a graver question to be answered. If women invade the avenues of business heretofore occupied by men , what Is to become of the men whom they thus displace ? There are doubtless In our city nearly 1,000 women employed In stores and offices doing the work formerly done by men , and no doubt doing that work for tha most part as satisfactorily 09 did the men. What Is ( o become of the men ? Is the position of the sexes to be reversed and the women to become the bread winners Inlcad of the men ? "Wero the competition fair and equal , the question would soon bo settled , but unfor tunately the contest Is somewhat similar to that'between the Chinese laundryman nnd his whlto competitor , only worse , for the China man does not cut prices as the woman cuts wages. I have known many Instances In this city wtioro men hnvn lost lucrative positions tiy which they were supporting families be cause women had been found to take their places for wages which , In comparison , were ridiculously small. "It is'a well known fnot that largo depart ment stores In all our lrgo cities arc enabled to undersell their competitors by the cm- ploymen { of children and women , and at wages on which men would starv * . They may bo right when they assert that they pay these girls and women all they nro wortn , but If they do the work of men , why are they not paid men's wages ? There- would not b ; an unemployed man In this city today were It not for this unfair competition , "It will not do to reply. 'Let the men get nt something else.1 The tradca nro moro than full and professions also. The only way to avert this trouble Is far the women who are taklna the places of men and doing men's work to demand men's wage * . They could not live , on the wagea t'acy receive were It not for ( lie fact that they live at home nnd have no board to pay. If they are to take the places of the bread winners they should be paid accordingly. As a step to ward reform In this direction a law should bo enacted and f-nfoived prohibiting the em ployment of any girl lyidtr 18 years of age In stores or any place where continuous inbcr is required. "ThU evil Is greatly Increased where girls and women enter the ranks of labor who are not rnmpelled from inctBslly : to do so , but merely for the saKrcf oirntug a Jlttle pin money , ns II Is called , I'.uu taking the bread out ef the months cf their nicely brothers and sUter ? . " DESTROYS I10MU UI-'B. The last danger to which Mr. MacUy al luded ua being threatened by tha new de parture was Hint of the homo. He believed thnt the opening to women cf all lints of builncss tended to destroy homo llfo more than anything else. In her emancipation the new woman has grown la rcgnr.l the rlutles and reipontlbllltlei of ( he homo us a reminder of her c-ld-tlmo subjection , MI a n'\ dlsc.irJs the clnlmt of maternity anil the duties of the wit * and mother fur the clalmt f society aud th aUractlons ol Ittmry cr business life. The preacher dl.l not mear to Intimate that If a woman had a talent h < should stifle It , but should recognize that being A wife and mother , her first duty waite to her home and family , nnd then to the pur suit of her art , ehould tlmo be found for It Woman , ho said , should remember that n < position could bo higher or nobler than thi head of a loving household and of a happj home. Ho thought , however , that the danger ! would bo averted in tlmo because he fell that the womanly ln tlnct would rcasserl Itself In woman and she would return to hei own sphere. "The new woman , " he said as ho closed , "will play a prominent nnd nn unlovely part , but experience will show her that In the long run the less ambltlout woman will have the best of her. She will return to the quiet Joys of home and the love of her husband and children , She will have lost nothing and gained Immcasurablj by the change. She will hdve found thai only since she renounced what appeared tc her a creed full of the highest aspiration ! has she learned to live nnd that In striving to bo nil powerful she wns weak nnd that In acknowledging her weakness she Is strong. " OF IXOAIIXATIO.Y Sermon of Ilcv. I.ndirr M. ICtilniH YCM- trrtliiy Moriilntr. Rev. Luther M. Kuhns at Grace Luth'rar church yesterday preached from the ttoct : "God was manifest In the flesh. " Ho sail ! In part : Christ Is not only nn Idea , but a fact ; am ! that , too , backed by nn Intense personalltj Powerfully Influencing the tangled web ol life. T.ie Messiah of the old testament nni' the Christ of the new testament must be one ; nnd In the Christ of the new testamenl Is the revelation of salvation from sin b > a divine Savior , the suggestion of whom ap pears In the story of "the first sin , nnd from the moment of human guilt God pointed for ward to the unfolding of salvation and the dispensation of the spirit In the church ami In the world whose crowning work Is the theme of the last chapter of Revelations. The language , "He who was manifested In the flesh , " states not so much a theory as n foci that the very God was also the Ideal man foi nil humanity. The historic revelation of God In the man Christ Jesus possesses a signifi cance of a wider reach nnd a more powerful Influence In human history than It Is cus tomary to suppose. The Incarnation was mada possible by the Interior being of God as a unity of essence and a trinity of persons , ns well as by the constitution of humanity created "In the Image of God. " This gave the world the new feature of "the man Christ Jesus" appearlnc on earth as the revelation of the divine Word John speaks of as "ths Word became flesli and dwelt among us , full of grace and truth. " It shows net only that It Is possible , bul makes It possible for man to become par- Jakcr of the divine nature , through the In dwelling Christ. It emphasizes love as ele mental strength In the divine character ol Him who U holy ; and Jesus as the mani festation of God's feeling toward man , makes the parable * of the prodigal son real. The practical valuect this doctrine , neces sarily Issuing In the work of atonement , Is tc roallzo the preaching of Jesus , "Repent ye , and believe In the gospel , " and to make the man dead , but alive again , lost and found , feel the Imprint of love's forgiving kiss. ] IOM.STItiL CONFIDENT. Tliliilot lie Cult Secure llouilHinun In it Ko\v ln. VH , Henry Bolln put In most of his time the first evening of his confinement In the county Jail in restlessly pacing his cell. He was evidently waiting for some expected event to happn , and kept up a vigilant watch until a late hour. The fact that he did so would tend to lend color to the rumors circulated around the city Saturday that a party of his friends had agreed to sign hs ! ball bond and would secure his release bsfor : 12 o'clock. The friends , however , failed to appear on the scene at the hour stated , and the ex-city treasurer was at length compelled to glvo up hope for release from his first night's imprisonment , and accordingly ac cepted the Inevitable and went to bed. The greater part of yesterday was pasrcd by Dolln In .Intervals , of pacing his cell and reading. Shortly after 9 o'clock his wife ap peared at the Jail with some extra clothing and some books , and was allowed to see him. She remained with him for nearly an hour and an earnest conversation was carried on bjtween them , Mrs. Bolln appearing at times to be greatly affected by the present con dition of her hut-band. The regular prison fare was served to Bolln at noon , and he ac cepted the change In a matter of fact way , but ate lightly , saying that he guessed ho could stand It for a time. In the afternoon L. H. Bradley , his at torney , callsd at the Jail and had a long con sultation with the prisoner. The result of the conversation , like all the rest of the proceedings carried en between them hereto fore , was kept In the dark , and both 'parties refused to say whether anything in the way of securing bondsmen had been done or not. Sine ? the fact has been developed that the treasury Is loser to the extent of at least $115,000 , the- Idea , that Dolln is a much abused Individual U liberally discounted , and these who were loudest In defending him are not so ready to go on Tils band. Nevertheless Bolln has not given up hope , and he still declares that ho will get a sufficient bond In a few days. Dcwltt's Little Early Risers the pills that cure constipation and biliousness.

Frederick O. Hartman , n young man of this city , has suddenly sprung Into great demand as nn entertainer at parties and other social gatherings In Omaha and Coun cil Bluffs. He has hypnotic as well as mes meric power and his feats never fall to In terest and frequently help out tlio host or hostess Immensely. Hartman has been at work developing his powers along this line for the last three or four months , but only recently has given any of his performances before any considerable in-mber of people. He has had great success and says that ho Is completely worn out , so frequently Is lie called upon to give an exhibition before his own or other people's friends. Society has passed Its approval on the novel means of entertaining , which fre quently makes an Interesting conclusion tea a card party that would otherwise prove dull and stupid. The result Is that Hartman has engagements booked weeks ahead. To a Dee reporter the young man recently said that ho had three methods of perform ing his work , and If ono did not succeed another usually did. He says there Is noth- nr ; marvelous about hypnotism or mesmer ism ; that It Is all duo to the power of the mind. When asked about his methods Hart man said : "I have three methods , although they have never received distinct names. Mrst , there Is the hypnotism by mcanu of the eye. I secure control of my subject by fastening my eyes on his. The second method Is called mesmerism , I believe. By It the subject Is placed In a cataleptic state by rubbing my hand over his temples and head. By this means ho Is put to sleep , closing his eyes. In hypnotism the eyes remain open , although sensation and volition of the body and limbs Is entirely suspended. The ttltd method Is by passing my hands In front of the subject , thus securing his en tire attention. The first two methods nro most commonly used , although the results from the three methods are about the same. Whether I use No. 1 or No. 2 depends con siderably on how I feel. If I have been using my eyes rather closely and they are tired I naturally prefer to work with No. 2 , using my hands and resting my eyes. " The number of things Hartman can do with his subject while the latter Is In astute stuto of catalepsy Is almost legion. . Ho can make him think or do about anything that he desires , of course carefully selecting only such things as are appropriate In the fashionable drawing room. Of course there lo a possibility that a subject may some times shock the spectators with unexpected Incidents or references to matters that might prove embarrassing , but as the subject sim ply thinks , what Is In the mind of the hyp notist and does as he directs , the danger of such unfortunate occurrences Is not great. SOME OF HIS TRICKS. An Interesting performance the other even ing at a house up town was when Hartman tcld on of his subjects lo He down , sup porting only his head and feet on chairs. In a short time the s'ubject'a body became perfectly rigid , and a number of specta tors , whose combined weight was 930 pounds , piled on top of the body. The subject sus tained the weight all right and , when broughl to , was none the worse for wear. A favorIte - Ito trick is to pretend to throw snuff out In the crowd. A number of persons will at once be seized with violent fits of sneezing. Hartman can also Increia * or decrease the beating of the heart or pulse. Another amusing exhibition Is the standing of a sub ject on ono leg and then getting three msn from the audience to attempt to push him over. They rarely succeed In doing so. Hartman sometimes tells Ma subject that on one side of him It Is extremely co'.d and on the other side exceedingly hot. The subject will endeavor to warm the one side of his body while ho cannot keep the other nlde cool enough. The one side of his face really becrmes cold , while the other may be felt to bs very warm. When Hartman finishes with a. subject ho frequently bids him good night , and Informs htm that he will wake up at an exact time the next morning , which the subject , to his great surprise , the next morning finds to have bean the case. Hartman says that the exhibitions do not aff ct the health of himself or that of his subjects. He finds that persons of consid erable. Intellectual power make the best subjects. Nervous persons do not make the best subjects , as Is sometimes supposed ; the reverse of this being qulto often true. The young man Is qulto optimistic regarding the future of hypnotism , which he declares Is just beginning to b ; understood. He thinks that It will some day displace chloroform In surgical operations. The patient In a cata leptic Etito cannot feel the prick of a pin , much less the Incision of a knife , and he can ba brought out of the state In an In stant. Ccncernlng His length of time which ho can keep a subject under his control , Hartman said that he had kept persons in the state of catalepsy for four hours , where other performers had succeeded in holding the same subjects ten minutes. Hartman also sayo that ho can prevent mesmerism cr hypnotism and counteract the strongest efforts of any ono who Is endeavoring to hypnotize another. ' HENRY ALSO AN EXPERT. Mr. William Henry of the Western Union telegraph cfflco In this city has also been Interested In hypnotism for some time. His ojperU'nco extends over a greater length of tlmo than does that of Hartman , although the exhibitions given by both are in many respects elmllar. Mr. Henry has a particu larly good subject In the person of a young man named Adams. The latter has been cm- ployed as a subject for such exhibitions fcr nearly six years , and apparently Is as well now as when ho first started In the novel pursuit. Mr. Henry recently pleated a gathering of Eoclety folk at the residence of Mr. Frank Colpstzer. On Friday evening last ho gave- splendid entertainment at the homo of John W. Feal on Twenty-ninth avenue. Mr. Adams proven ! to bo ths best subject present ard the various tricks retired through him were amusing OB well as Interesting. He handled money which ho was told was In hlo hands , picked roses he thought grew before him , and when told he had been drinking whisky acted wry much like an Intoxicated Individual. When his muscles were hardened he proved to bo an extremely strong man , and more than a match for any two men presjnt. Mr. Henry Is also enthusiastic regarding his work and the possibilities of hypnotism. He has taken up the subject fcr study In his lolsuro momontu and has mot with rare suc cess * . Besides giving private exhibitions ho alsa given instruction to a few pupils , SUE PIUS FltO.1I Till : III.OWS. Unknown . \MMiilliuit CIIIIHCM Mny AI11- HOii'n Duiith. May Allison , 1015 Davenport street , died Saturday afternoon under peculiar circum stances. On tl.e afternoon of Thursday Dr. Blythln was called to attend the sick woman. He found her suffering from severe pains in her head and observed a numbr of wells crossing the scalp , which had evidently been made by n blow delivered by some blunt Instrument , She refused to slate how they cnmci there and would give no details as to her history. She grew rapidly worse , paralysis alysis- resulting , nnd dlu.1 Saturday after noon. The remains were taken to the morgue to await tlie action of the coroner. Yottcrday afternoon two colored w.omcn , who claimed to know the decoisoJ , cjlljd at the morgue- and stated that the woman came to her death as the result of a blow , but said they did not know the name of the party who committed the act. They also stated that the name of the woman was not Alllxon , but Qlllepsle , and that blis formerly lived In Sioux City , where she , had been married. The case will be Investigated.

SOUTH OMA'H A NEWS cccocccocccooeofcccoccccccct Councilman Hyland has mcdlflod his for mer statement as to his1 candidacy for mayo on the republican ticket and he now says tha If the office seeks him he will bo a candl date. Republicans In the Third ward seen to think Hyland Is the nun , but men who have been In politics about town for n num ber of ycaro do not think It advisable to run Hyland , as he only entered politics last spring when he was elected a membsr of the city council tvcr Olson , ths demo cratic nominee. R. Qllchrtst , the recently elected president of the South Omaha Live Stock exchange , Is more talked about fo mayor than either Hyland or Smiley. The First ward Is republican by over COO votes nnd as Qllchrlst llveo on Neb Hill ho cat pretty nearly gt all of the republican vote In the ward. Smiley Is also a First warder but has not no large a following as Qllchrlst Hyland Is qulto prpular In his own ward but hao no followng outside of It. Captali Kelly In also mentioned and no doubt couli poll a largo vote , but ho does not appear to want office of any kind. Among the democrats Ed Johnston Is again mentioned , but Johnston states post lively that he will not serve as he liar some thing better Inview. . Jim Ilulla would Ilk to be mayor and so would Jack Walters though Walters says ho cannot afford 1o give up his job at the stock yards to bo mayor. John Ryan , whoso term as coun cllman from the Third expires In the spring will take anything that Is offered him , thougl he would prefer to be city treasurer. I Ryan cannot bo nominated he will try to succeed himself In the council. Tom Hcctcr will not resign as city treas urer , but will serve out his term. His duties a county commissioner , he says , will net In terfera with his city treasurer work. Mny llnve nn IiiveKtlKiiilon. The vetoing of n printing bill by the mayor at the last meeting of the city councl Betms to have stirred up a hornet's nest , and It Is now street talk that an Invsstlgatlon will be In order for the * purpose of checking up the accounts of the : council committee on printing during the years 1S94 and 1S85. Bill * for printing to the amount of about $900 have been paid to J. F. Rltchhart , while any numbsr of job printers in ths city claim that the work was worth only a 1'tte over $ GOO. Other Irregularities In the bills are also alleged by the printers who were left out In the cold. Last spring when the council talked of having the city ordinances printed several printing establishments put In bids for the work. One bid , that of the Brlgham Printing company , was $89. The Drovers' Journal was willing to do the work for $150 , and yet Rltchhart walked away with the contract for $1D9. The funny part of this deal was that all the Yfhile the council wa-s wrangling over thesa bids Rltchhart was salting up the ordinances , ho having been given a tip that the deal was going through all right. The ordinances were printed In due time , and now the city cleric is selling copies for $2 apiece. K to Get Even. It Is rumored that at a meeting of the city council thla evening an attempt will be made to reconsider the proposition of the South Omaha Water Works company , which was passed at last Monday night's meeting , allowing the company1 the use of the dirt on M Btrest from Thirteenth to the tracks for the grading. Since the report has been cir culated that the South Omaha Water Works company was organized for the sole purpose of bringing the American Water Works com- 'pany to time In regard to stock yards rates , the councllmen who volcd for the scheme are adte find aro.iploimlngj a wayto get even. 'Blanchard ' apd Hyland voUd against the scheme from the start , and Mies was Induced to vota for It under the impression that thei new company would put a couple of hundred men to work at once on the grade. Now these three councllmen are kicking and propose to do all they can to have ths franchise given to the South Omaha Water Works company revoked. HlK Stoclc ShliimcntH Exiiecteil. Agento of the Union Stcck Yards company In Iowa and Nebraska , send In word that large shipments of both cattle and hogs may be expected this week. Some big shipments are also looked for from Colorado. W. B. Schooineld , the slock yards company's agent In eastern Colorado , spent the latter part of the week at the yards hero and he said that the ranchmen were feeding hay right along and that big shipments of fine hayfed o'.ejrs oauld be expected on this market during the latter part of this month and the first week from Iowa will be or so In February. Hogs plenty at the yards during tao week as the feeders have plenty to osnd in and can get better prlcw hero than at cither ChlcagJ or Kansas City. Mnglc City fionnlp. W. H.

As stated the proposed path Is to extent between this city and Council Bluffs , run nlng along Second avenue to Pearl street H will be seventeen feet wide nnd will b built of cinders. The cost of building I will bo $2,400 , but this Is cnly a portion o the money that will be required. There nr several blocks of Second avenue rttnnln from Pearl west which It will bj nccessar .to pave with brick when the path Is pu In. This additional work will bring the entire - tire estimated expense up to $7,000 , or In that neighborhood. It la not expected that any difficulty wll be experienced In obtaining the right of wn > frm the city council of Council Bluffs If I Is met by a committee of wheelmen who wll show that wheelmen Intend to make th scheme .a go. It Is also fair to presum that that body will pay a part of th ? expense ponso of laying the brick pavement on th few blocks. Other aid can reasonably bo expected from the adjoining property own crs. Ono has already offered $1,000 If the pavement Is laid before his establishment. The remainder of the money will have to bo largely subscribed by wheelmen and thel frlendix A goodly portion of It may be expected from the bicycle dealers of the two cities , for the path will undoubtedly boom their trade. The rsst ought certainly to bo obtained from the wheelmen , as there are thousands of them In the two cities and It would be necessary for each to sub scrlb3 but a small amount to raise wha was needed. The scheme Is coming Into favor with the riders of this city , ns they appreciate the ad vantages that the path would offer , especially sines they understood what encouragemen Wallenhaupt Is receiving. It would furnlal the cnly level path in this vicinity and one that could bo utKd In wet 03 well as dry weather. Wheelmen of this vicinity certainly appreciate from experience the condition of the country roads In this district , either from a rain or during continued dry weather. Moreover tha path would furnish a most ex cellent course for road races , and ono most advantageously situated when the question of attendance Is considered , it being near both cities. A mass meeting of wheelmen and wheel- women of the city Is called for Tuesday evenIng - Ing In the Young Men's Christian association building to consider the scheme. It Is earnestly desired that all who can attend will be present In.order that the sentiment may be obtained. If the matter receives the encouragement that Is expected : a similar meeting IB to bo held In Council Bluffs on next Friday night. Public Lllirnry Note * . The cost of running the Omaha Public library from January , 1895 , to January , 1S9C , was $17,958.41. Miss Annette Smiley , who was east upon a leave of absence from September to Jan uary , has resumed her place in the work'ng force of the library. A water meter has been placed In the library building and beginning with January 1 water is to be taken at meter rates with a view to economy on water rentals. According to Librarian Barrows , the In novation of the children's department with direct access to the shelves containing books [ or Juvenile readers is proving an unqualified HUCCCS.J. Miss Mary L. Hlbbard , who has for a year past occupied the position of custodian of the Byron Reed collection , has signified her Intention of submitting her resignation , to take effect March 1. The photographic portrait of the late Byron Reed , donated to the library by his daughter , Mrs. Frank Johnson , has been hung con spicuously In the room which contains the Byron Reed collection of coins , mauuscrlrts and books. An order has recently ben placed for the volumes necessary to complete the set of Poor'o , Manual of Railroads for the reference room. This work is of special Importance .o ' all Interested In railroad finances , con struction and operation. Owing to the fact that the Sunday attend ance before 2 p. m. does not warrant keeping the attendants on duty , the hours of library ope'nlng have been changed by order of the joard of directors to from 2 p. m. to C p. m. They were formerly from 12 p. m. to 6 p. in. State Librarian D. A. Campbell of Lincoln was a visitor at the Omaha Public library Saturday and expressed himself as greatly pleased with the building and arrangements , : hls bolng the first tlmo he- had inspected ; no library since It was moved from Its old quarters In the Paxton block , nearly two years ago , There was a marked Increase of attendance In the number of visitors to'the Byron Reed collection Just after the attempted burglary of the room was reported In the dally papers. Many who went Into the build- ng , then drawn by , ldlo curiosity , for the Irst time realized the value of the rare col- ectlon , which is regularly opn to the * public nspectlon , Librarian Barrows expresses himself as well satisfied with the newly Introduced system of rotation In the work of the at- .endants. A new assignment of the attend ants goes Into effect this week , and the public will find each department presldsd over jy a different employe. This plan Is pursued In order to enable all tha attendants to se- : uro a practical knowledge of all branches of he library service. The last two Installments of the new printed finding list have come from the irlnters. They comprise the sections relat- ng"to history and to political science and works of reference. Tills makeu the com pleted list of eight sections and nearly 500 lages. A small numbr are to bs bound up together Into a single volume for library use , while- the remainder are on sale In s'parato parts , So far the de mand among book borrowers for copies cr the new finding list has fallen far short of what was orglnally expected. The new rules for the opening of the Byron Reed collection to the general public , which go Into effect February 17 , make the lours for vlsltoru Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 4 o'clock , and Sundays from 2 to > o'clock. Out of town visitors and thow hav- nK a special object In view will etlll have the ( irivllogo of examining the collection at any time during library hours upon appli cation to the librarian in charge. Until Feb ruary 17 , when ths new lules go Into effect , the Byron Reed room will remain open as at i recent , dally and Tuesday , Thursday and Saturday evenings. Fuiici-iil of ( > e r ve.

' accocecccccececcccoccccc " - Hanlon's "Fantasma" In the ysars it has delighted the patrons of first class panto mime has probably been seen by nine-tenths of Omaha's citizens , yet the engagement which opened at the Crelghton yesterday promises to attract as large crowds as ever. It Is the old favorite , but In a. new dress , sparkling with wit , and magnificent In elaborate scenery. The production Is better staged than ever , and the grotesque features ara particularly enlarged upon. Qeorgo Adams , with his white , face , fills Pico's fhoes , and continues to amuse with the ridiculous situations which he manages to become the victim of during nn evening with "Fantnsma. " While the Hanlons depend very largely upon ingenious tricks and marvelous ? acrobatic teats , combined with a few spectacular side lights to maintain their reputation In the pantomime world , they invariably depend ipop the best material the market affords In the way of theatrical people to carry out their work. The members of the company who are showing "Fantasma" through the west at present ore In. every way up to the standard. George H. Adams Is a veteran. His white face Is loved for tha fun It has produced In the pantomime world for a lecide. Miss Nettle Black In the role of 'Fantasma" contributes much of Interest with her sweet face and pretty figure. The ilcDonongh brothers' startling acrobatic feats are a constant source of wonder. The voices and figures' of the young women of the corn- ny are exceptionally good and the dnnc- ng unusually clever. With the magnificent costumes , new scenery and confusing and nrtlstlo mechanical effects , the production s In every way calculated to please. The ransformatlon scenes are marvels of beauty and new to the stage.
