\V I Klerstend presided , and Inlroducod I
It Andrews who made a vigorous upee-ch
In behalf of Meiecr In the courco of hli
re-marks he fired some hot shot at the gen
tlemen who wcro aspirins to succeed Mer
cer nnd his hits at their peculiar manner
of conducting a campaign were received with
vociferous approbation The speaker re
marked that the simple fact thai n man hail
voted Ihe republican llckel anil worked for
Ihe Inlercsts of the parly was no icason why
he was entitled to a nomination for con
ic gross If they did not believe In Iho prln-
| r clplea of the republican party they should
not uphold them , and If Ihcy did they could
do no less Hvery man had n right to as
pire to go to congress , but It was no part
of his duty In lhat connection to endeavor
to vilify and drag down an honest ami
faithful man
At the conclusion of Mr Andrew's spcecli
Mr Mercer arrived and ho was greeted wltli
prolonged applause , which was ii'iiiMvecl
when ho was liilroduccd by the chairman.
Mr Mercer dlHcredltcd llio Illusion that he
could nol make a speech by lalklng In n
mosl vlgoious and enteitnlnlng manner for
nearly an hour lie paid but scant atten
tion to the nllacks of lila opponenla , merely
referring to them In a good nntured way
nnd declaring th.it such Incites could not
bent him The intimation that he had jug
gled the exposition bill until the last dnj of
Irj congress for his personal Intcrcsls , he dls-
| n missed as absurd , and brlelly outlined the
manner In which the bill had been passed
to show how desperate n struggle It had
proved to be " \\liy , " he concluded , "If I
can juggle legislation on the flngera of m >
hand an mv opponents seem to tlilnK , send
| l mu back lliere again , and I will have Ihe
II capltol moved here Inside of another l\vo
IJ jcars"
Out of Ihe thousands of bills thai had
been liilroduccd al the last session of con
gress only 320 had passed. Among UICKO
had been two o [ the most Important bills
of the session , the Fort Omaha bill and the
TraiismlsBlssippI exposition bill. The Tort
Omaha bill ho hnd got through the house
nnd It has also passed the senate In npltc
of Ihe fuel lhat there were flvo othci
similar bills Introduced none of which even
got a place on the calendar In the face
of a deficit of $200,000,000 the request of
the Omahn people for $200.000 with which
lo make a fair had been granlcd , even before
Ihoy h.id built n chicken coop themselves
Ho proposed lo go back , because there was
much that remained to be done to make the
enterprise n success , nnd his experience had
taught him thai ho could do It bettci than
a new man

A large portion of the congregation of
ho St Mftry's Avcnuo Congcgatlonnl churih
was present at a meeting held last night for
ho purpose of taking action on the rcslgna-
lon ot Rov. S. Wrlghl Bullcr ,
Samuel Burns was nppolnlcd chairman
with L. M. Talmago as secretary. E. II
Jalncs was Ihen called upon lo stale Iho
object of the meeting which ho briefly
lid by saylnc that n commltleo of twenty
md been appointed as a special body to
examine Into the finances ot the church , and
hat another ono of ten persons vvaa ap-
> olnlcd lo sco the pastor and request him
o withdraw his resignation. The last
named commltleo had rcporlcd an audience
wllh Dr Bullcr Dr Duller snld thai nflcr
lonsldeilnK Iho Biibjecl ho had decided lo
cave the inallcr In Ihe hands of the lom-
nlttcc.
The former committee of twenty had been
ound unwieldy In slzo nnd had been reduced
0 five. Through Its chairman , W P Man-
ilng , It was now ready to make n report
1 was slaled by Mr. Manning lhat It had
) cen found the ehurch nxprnccs per > cnr
would font approximately $7000. Including
ho salary of Iho pastor , which was $1.GOO.
Dining Iho past thrco voars the congrcgu-
, lon had been much diminished and II was
< nown nl Iho present time that only about
lalf of the scats In the church were yield-
ng a revenue by pew lent. Figuring upon
: hls basils the present jear would yield but
> 4700 Ihus leaving n dcflcll of $2,300 The
committee recommended a plan for dividing
.ho work ot raising the necessary revenue
which It thoughl would bo effective nnd the
reporl was mlojitcd.
Di Butler , In response lo n rcqucsl
slaled his motives for resigning. One of
Jictn was that his parents , who were aged ,
lived In the cast nnd ho desired to bo with
.hem In their last years In addition ho
'elt as though his staying at thu present
salary wag a greater burden than the church
could bear. In March the deficit was $ U,000
and by a special effort $1,100 of this had
ieen raised , but that had appnronlly Inxed
Iho resources of Ihe congregallon nnd Ihe
leflclt wns piling up again
Al the request of Ihe commltteo the ques-
lion of his remaining was left with It
and It resolved to make an cffoit to pro
vide the revenue. Dr Butler will take n
vacallon during July and Augusl and al Iho
conclusion of Iho vacation Iho quesllon of
ils remaining will bo definitely decided.

mencement of tills Kraml spcclaclo almost
every scat within the vast arena was taken ,
while hundreds ot men , women anil bojn
swarmed In thu streets surrounding the
canvas-vailed enclosure , and crowded the
porticos and rooftops ot all the adjacent
buildings. It was well enough that this
Kiand army ot excited people adopted this
mode of wltnewlng the greatest of all out
door creations , for had they all attempted
to secure accommodations within the crush
would have been llttlo short ot dlsnstious.
As ! t was 1hc long and commodious re
served amphitheater was crowded to Its
fullest capacity with the best clement ot
Omahr.'s cltlrenshlp The bleachers , wallIng -
Ing In both the east ami west end ot the
park , were densely crowded with their hu
man freight , and nil the Intervening spate ,
on the la-Mi , between thu seals , and the
rlrrlculmn , were hundreds and thousands of
shoutiiiK , expectant and gleeful chllilicn.
IN A MOOD TO APPLAUD.
As darkness enfolded the earth and the
numerous big arc lights , suspended In n
circle about the park , and the Gieek llrcs
began to burn In Unld splendor befoio the
doomed city , the spectacle was a grand and
| ilctutestue one Indeed , and before n move
Imd been made the vast sea of people broke
foith Into frequent and sportiiiu'oua ap
plause. They prolnbly imagined that they
v.ero facing the once fall but fated city
la look on nt the festivities that wcie upon
tills day annually held In honor of the
goddess Isis The evening was serene and
beautiful and only faint breaths of smoke
rose from the Hat-topped peak of grim old
Vesuvius who ominously re.ired his ghastly
lead up into the rose-colored lights of the
clouds bevond the marble battlements of
i'ompell.
As the ancient feast begins the streets
fill up with the populace Presently n trum-
> ct Is heard and at the same time small
tower-ilecKcd barges paw ncioss the orna
mental lake , and the prows of the gallejb
make their appearance , as fiom under the
triumphal arches a group ot t-oldlors , with
standards and musical Instruments , emerge
anil announce the coming of Arbaces Then
come priests in white robes ; na\i n number
of dancing girls , and n senator with his at
tendants This procession crosses the stage
and bows to the oniclals of the city The
procession then turns to the left , and part
of It , including Arbacts , passes down the
steps to the water's idgc to await the
arrival of the gallejs , which now enter In
'ull view. They advance gradually am'
'roin the first nliqht soldiers and slaves
from the second lone and her afllanccd
bridegroom , the Greek Glaucus The pro
cession re-forms , the guests take positions
under the portico of Arbaces' house Music
strikes up and upon the signal of a blast
of tiumpets , the doors of the temple ot Isis
are thrown open , and the temple's illumi
nated Interior Is discovered
END OF THE HEVELING.
The Innocent orgies are at their height
the golden calf Is brought In and Ar
baces commands Its worship , when sud
denly all halt In Instinctive dismay. The
earth trembles and the air grows thick
and heavy ; then there Is a tremendous
clash of the thunders , anil the horrid Ve
suvius vomits forth Its deluge of molten
lavn , of blinding flame and steam and
smoke. The fair city Is overwhelmed midst
the glare of lightning and the lurldlty of
tunning rivers of fire The citizens arc
terror and panic stricken and uncertain
whither to fly. The sea , which had shrunk
awa > from the shorn , ottered no haven It
was wrapped In a preternatural wrath , and
the frenzied people clung to the land as
the least frightful tomb of the two.
This wild nightmare of mingled light
ning , volcanic fires , Hoods of .scorching ashes
and earthquake thunders is followed by one
of the most superb exhibitions of fireworks
ever sstn in Omaha. The black vault above
Is kept glittering with scenes of Indescrlb
able bcautj. The set pieces , of which
there are ten or a dozen , arc the riflnc
ment of pjrotcchulc Ingenuity and work
manshlp , and as one after another unfolded
Its magic charms to the vision of the spec
tators they kept the welkin ringing with
their startled cries of delight and their
cheers of hearty approval.
Preceding this grand spectacular creation
Is a splendid mixed program of attractions
from the Roman hippodrome of centuries
ago , chariot races , wild horse and hurdle
races , festal songs and dances , athletic
feats of skill and daring , living tableaux ,
wire and trapeze performances and other
features of remarkable superiority and
merit. The engagement runs for live more
nights.
