Although no ofllclal announcement has
been made , It has been practically dccldr-l
that the "old Ivorj" effect on the bullding.i
will not be accomplished by mixing the
coloring material with the staff 88 It is
being prepared , but will be obtained by
painting the bulMingb after the fatal * Is all
in place. This decision scorns to be the
remit of a strong disinclination on the part
of the staff contractors to try what thej
tay Is simply nn experiment Notwithstand
ing the fact that the art building In the
Nushvlllo exposition Is a forcible pi oof thai
the staff maj be successfully colored , the
contractors refuse to concede that It maj

has been abandoned.

The Indications at this time are that pev-
er.il other slatia will erect buildings of their
own on this tract. Illinois will have a
building ; Wisconsin has taken steps to crecj
a handbomo building which will be decorated
by iho mimeroiifl mineral spring companies
of tha state ; Iowa will have . tinte buildIng -
Ing for a meeting place for lowans , negotia
tions are being made by one or two other

Mrs Mary Andrews delivered a lengthj
addicts In which she told of the good done
by the South Omaha homo for erring gltla
and helpless women. She htatcd that the
pteient accommodations of the home were
taxed to the utmost , and that as the field
for Its usefulness enlarged the Institution
should keep pace with It. She therefore
utged that challtnbly inclined perbtirs
Khould Interest themselves In. the home and
bend their energies toward making It even
a greatei success than It Is at present.

severely taxed as at the First Mothod'ut
Kplscopal ehnrch yesterday morning. Kveiy
neat In the largo auditorium and In the gal
lery was occupied , and on- the gallery etcps
nnd In the aisles were n couple of hundred
more auditors anxious to hear the f.cnnon
of Hlshop John P. Newman. Had the cdlflcc
been half again as large It would have been
well filled because n largo number of per
sons were turned away nt the door on nc-
count of the great crowd present The choir
was considerably augmented , and In addi
tion to thu regular muclcal program several
special anthems and oolos were rendered.
Re\B .McQuold , Maxfleld , SaundcrH nnd Hod-
getts , the latter foimerly pastor of the
Tenth Street Methodist church and now sta
tioned at Norfolk , Neb , were also present.
In Ills sermon Illshop Newman devoted
much attention to wealth and the use there
of lie ald that ministers were not alto
gether free from the worship of mammon.
Some of the best friends the Mai ter had weic
rich men , millionaires of their day. He re
called the wealth of John , the loved disciple ,
nnd of Joseph The great harm came not
from wealth but from the nli\itv of wealth.
The sell'Mlmce-H of wealth was the great sin
He npokc of the funerals of two mllllonalrca
that he had seen In New York Olt ) , The
one was merely a procession of the family
nnd n few frlendd of the dcccau'ed , and would
not have attracted attention had It not been
lor the great wealth of the deceased. Great
crowds lined the streets when the funeral
cortege of the other pas-cd by , and though
It wao a cold day of winter , men uncovered
their heads and women bowed In reverence
aa the funeral paeaod them. The one man
had Used his great wealth for selfish pur
poses and the othei had d'spen&cd hlr > freely
among the poor , building hospitals , erecting
schools , and relieving the wants of the poor
nnd the needy. "The hatred of the world
today , ' continued Hhhop Newman , "l not
to wealth , but to the abuse of wealth. 'Ihcao
deluded citizens of ouis who are today lift
ing up their voices crjlng out against wealth
would bo irMlllonalrea tomorrow if they only

SUPERFICIAL APPLAUSE.
"There In nothing EO unsubstantial as the
applause of the world The .Master knows
thl . The cry of the world today la 'Halle
lujah ' Tomonow It is 'crucify him. ' There
Is no condemnation In Christianity , young
men , against popularity or ambition , when
ever thu motive is of high purpose. Re
member this , > oung men ; let this nlwajs
live in jour hearts the truly good are the
trulj great , and the trulv great arc the
truly good. One of the slanders that lies
come down to us thiough the drama Is the
statement of Shakespeare that 'the evil that
men do lives after them ; the good Is oft In-
tened with tlieli bones ' Not so , a thousand
times , not so The mcmorj of the wicked
Is short lived. It yhall soon die. The truly
good are the truly great , and the truly
great are the truly good.
"You ask mo 'Is the woild today grow
ing better ? ' I rcplj 'that depends upon the
standard jou are measuring the world by. "
If jou are judging by arithmetic , I answer
'no' If by algebra , 'jes. ' The stjlo of
many ministers of the gospel Is to estimate
that there are bo many million people lu
the world , so many of whom are Christians.
so many Jews , ho many Mohammedans , so
many heathen , nnd so on , lamenting that
after nineteen centuries there are so few
Christians.
"Is there a jurist , or a phjslclan present ,
who would think of estimating the benefi
cence of his profession by arithmetic ? Is
there a statesman here who would under
take to calculate the good of government
by arithmetic ? No , rather would thej em
ploy the science of algebra , to bolve these
problems by the aid of the unknown quan
tity. The kingdom of heaven Is like unto the
unknown o.uantltjThere are unknown
Chiistlans all about us. What right have
you to Judge a Christian by nothing save
your creed ? Generosity , catholicity , not
bigotry. Is what we want. If v\e judge
Christianity by arithmetic U Is a failure ; It
ahvajs hat ) been , and alwajs will be. Hut
what we want to do Is to measure by the
unknown quantity.
"If jou judge of the advancs of socletj
by the dully prcts. It Is a failure , for the
telegraph gives us crime from all parts of
the world If the press would for one week
and two Sundajs give us a relief from the
publication of murders , robberies and other
crimes nnd supplj us with n Danquet of vir
tue nnd charity , then the newspaper men
themselves would come to believe that the
millennium had come.

Hon. Church Howe of Auburn arrived In
the city ytslenlay to 'mako a few calls upon
friends before departing for his post of duty
as consul at Palermo , Slcllj' . He expects to
leave the state for the east October 1 , anJ
sails from New Yo-k City on one of the new
steamers of the German-Llojd line October
9. Ho will go direct to Palermo , and with
out accident or delay will complete the trip
In eleven days. He will go by way of Gib
raltar to Naples. In speaking of his position
ho said :
"I will take no clerk or secretary with
me. The present ofllce force at Palermo will
bo retained They are necessarily nearly all
Italians , and It Is the policy of the govern
ment to make no changes unless called for
by the good of the service I will have
sixty dajs each jear to spend awny from my
ofllclil duties. That means sixty dajs out/side
of Italy. I may take Ehort trips to any point
in Italy at any time without a leave of ab
sence. If I should conclude to visit this
country , the nlxtj days would count from the
time I landed In New York City till the day
I sta'ted on the return trip. If I should servo
four yeara in the position this leave of ab
sence will allow me eight months In which
to visit Europe , and I think I can see all
the points of Interest In that time.
"I have just received a letter from a
former consul to this point who now lives at
Terre Haute , Ind. He served during Picol-
dcnt Harrison's administration He assures
me that It Is ono of the most delightful
places In the world to live , and that he
disliked to come back at the conclusion of
h's term of olllce. Ho says the climate Is un
surpassed , and that the people are very pleas
ant.
ant."The
"The Importations from Sicily to this coun
try last year amounted to $3.600,000 while
the exports Irom this country there amounted
to onlv $230 000 The Importations from
Sicily conslbt principally of oranges , lemons ,
wine and marble , while our exportatlon/j con-
alst of tobacco cotton goods , petroleum and
manufactured articles "
' .Mr Howe seemed confident that he would
enjoy his sojourn nt Palermo , and that he
would derive conddcrablo pleasure from the
opportunities afforded him for travel.

No mechanical paiado with as complKelj
equipped electrical and mechanical Moats
has ever passed through the streets of an )
American city It will bo the fcatuto of the
' week. Mechanics and electricians have been
I busied for several months In preparation
] j i for the brand new event , nnd the fact that
I one of the Important features of the mechan
ical parade has be n Imported directly fro.
France evidences a desire on the part ol
Ak-Sar-llon to please , Interest nnd delight
the citizens and the visitors , no matter to
[ what distance or to what expense his work
men must go to poitre attractions that are
thoroughly novel nnd up-to-date.
In It will appear for the ( list time Sam
son , judge of the fntta of all Initiates Into
the kingdom of Ak-Sar-Ilen.
- - Per two jotrs
past there has boon a demand that all pco
pie , without consldeiatlon of their nlleglanio ,
bo allowed to see the far-famed Samson
Kach year heretofore the proposition to c\
hlblt hlm&clf has met with defeat In court
circles. This jear , however , It was eai
rled by a bare majority , nnd Samson will he
paraded. Samson will bo piecedod bj a
number of mounted ofllcers , hj n dnron
mounted marshals , and by a pah af brass

of Samson's household the nursery , the
bath , the kitchen , the dining room , the
llbrarjIhe diawlng room , the art salon , the
ball room ) and the slablcs Samson Jr. wll

hlblt of the various machines of torture em-
plojed to test the candidates becking admis
sion to Ak-Sar-Ilen's court , each guarded
against possible destruction from those who
did not stand the lie-canary ordeala very
well.
A prominent feature of the parade will be
an Immense trlcjclo built In Franco and
prevlouhlj exhibited only In ParU H will
be ridden by fifteen chosen subjects of
Ak-Sar-Uen'ts court. The dimensions of the
pondeioui } machine cannot be given , but It
may bo stated heie that the tlics of the
wheels measure fifteen feet In diameter
It is now on Us way from Paris to Omahn ,
Ita Importation having been secured by a
local blcjclo firm. Following will come a
number of mechanical and electrical floatn
Each of these will represent a popular suD-
ject , and the details will be can led cuiJ-l

CIVIC PAUADR IMPUOVnD.
The management In charge of the civic
nnd military parade has piomlsed that It
will bo larger and grander than any previ
ous parade of this characler. Heretofore
thlb pat ado has not received the atlentlon
commensurate with its demands , but it Is
assured that this year Ihe civic and military
parade will be one of the most atlracllvc
pageants presented
The theme of the Ak-Sar-Dcn pirade ,
which will bo composed of the us.ua ! twenty-
one floats , Is "The Pagtaut of Qulvcra , "
and the manner In which it has been In
terpreted by Itb authors Is Bufllclent gnaianty
that the Ak-Sar-Ilen parade of this jeai will
ho fully up to the high standard of previous
efforts. The theme of the pageant Is based
upon the history of this section of Ak-Sai-
HenVi domains as unfolded In the. hlstoiy of
Omaha by J. W Sivagc. The scenes , the
Incidents ) , the hardships of the pioneers ,
Iho final success attending the joninejH of
the mylhlcal chaiaclciH supposed to have In
vaded what li > now the capital city of

Scarcely a day passes that people don't come in here an '
aslc us questions like this : When are you goingto
have your closing out sale ? Ain't yo-i goingto mark

a "Great Removal Sale ? " You aren't going to let the
chance go by without having some sort of a hullabuiou
are you ? To all of these we answer : No. We aren't
going to do any of these things , It isn't our style. With
business conducted as ours is there isn't any chance ,
Some merchants seem to be successful at tint sort of
thing , but we wouldn't dare to rsc ! it. We cou'dn't be
successful , We can't humbug the public because wo.
never learned how. Our goods are all marked down
to begin with. They arc sold right from the start. They
are marked at the closest figures \\e c an afford to sell
them at and we couldn't marl : them any lower if we
were to remove every week. So far from trying to fool
with the usual tricks of the
you trade , we will show you
in a day or two the largest , freshest stock of Fall Goods
that Omaha has ever seen.
