"With wreaths or exquisite music and bou
quets of beautiful prayer , with gems of eo- :
quont culoglum and pearls of remembrance
the Blks of Omaha jcstcrd.iy afternoon deco
rated ami adorned the memory of the breth
ren who In past years have dcpartrd from
the earthly ledge room to llvo forever be
neath the rulings of the grand exalted
ruler of the universe. In lodge of sorrow
they assembled , as Klks all over the country
were doing yesterday.
The memorl'll services were held In Doyd'n
theater and that capacious auditorium was
none too large to hold the attendance. Al
most the entire membership of Omaha ledge
wan tcatcd In the front rows of seats and
to the right and left , ilnd behind them wo-c
assembled hundreds ot the people of the city
who hid accepted the Invitation to Join In
tto services.
The program was commenced with the
usual Impressive opcnHng ceremonies of the
lodge of sorrow. Interspersed with there
ceremonies and following them came ths
musical rejections and the two euloglnms.
Hothvero delivered by nonrrsldc- one by
Zack Phelps of the Louisville ( Ky. ) loilge
nnd the other by Kov. John Wesley delger
of thtCcilar Haplds ( In. ) lodge.
Mr. Phelps culcglzo'l the principles of his
order 3 cxemplinel In the lives nf thn mem
bers o ! the herd who had been stricken by the
dnrk huntsman , "even s they roamed In
the green meadows of charity , Junlso Q'id
brotherly love , with hearts overflowing wl-h
humanity. "
"The unobtrusive help of the Klks wounds
the pride ot no man , " ho said. "U Is less
conspicuous than the gentle shower which
paints a lalnbcnv of beauty ' : s It fulls. It
Is the benevolence which droppth like the
Ecctlo dew from heaven In the stllliier o !
the night. It makes no pronlamatlon of la !
kindly deeds on the street corre s , nor does
the noisy trumpet of applause herald the fie'
that n wound has been healel or some ire-ly
brother relieved. Every true Klk Is moved
with sympathy for that misfortune which
ho recognizes as the common lot of man.
ngalr.st which no talent , no rank , no woU.h.
no goodnes-s Insures Immunity. Hut wha'
Is death ? It Is tald In holy writ that In
the bright hereafter the grand exalte , ! ruler
of the universe will wipe away oil tears -nvl
surely heal all wounds. Hut what of the
pain , the suffering and the misery which
ccmrs to the widows und orphans In this
life ? > We cannot cure , but can comfort and
cheer and can scatter along the roadw y
which they travel some flowers to ur'plitnn
the way , can brush aside some Ihorna o'
thistles from their path nnd make It casiu1
to travel.
HOPE NOW AND LOVE IIRRBAFTEU.
"Well may we lament the loss of our
companions , but with reverence we ire
paraphrase the words of Inspiration ati'i
say : 'Ulcsscd are ths ( 'end wha Invert their
Collcwirci , fcr thrl wjrkt sli.ll f' llo.v t" en '
Dwr departed friends , we will not say fave
well. Shall wo not rather 'In some brighter
clime bid you Rood morning ? ' Wlun w
ECO about us icts of love , can wo but be
lieve that our lives without a future would
be but an unfinished tragedy ? Love , evc'i
In this life , Is Immortal , und thus are we
consoled with the hope that It will endure -
duro until It Is merged In a nobler life to
come. Oh , you vacant choir ? , dearly be
loved and honored wore those whose forma
you once held1 and 'whoie absence we lament
today. How much brighter shall they app-ui
when they greet their old companions on the
Elyston meadows ; and who of us , I waplcr.
will so live that we may meet and grec !
them there ?
"Need I hold up to you your mcmorla'
tablet and let you look with tearful eyes
upon the names of thos ? you have lost ? Had
they faults ? If so , write them upon the
Bonds , that they may soon bo washed nway
nnd never seen again. Had they virtues ?
Wrlto them upon the everlasting tablets of
love and memory and learn from them the
lesson that any virtues you may have will
llvo In the hearts of your brothers forever.
But the memorial tablet upon your lodge
room wall Is not yet full. Whose name will
KO there nnxt ? AV111 It bo yours ? Truly ,
brothers , 'In the midst of llfo we are Ui
death. ' We nro doing deeds each day on
which n record Is kept. Wo are making for
oureelvcs history nnd heaven grant that we
jnny all fearlessly nnd hopefully look to the
history which shall bo written for us by the
recording ailgel above. "
Kov. Mr. Gelger said those who hart de
parted were but an addition to the roynl
ones who have run their course and wrapped
their robes about them nnd Iny low In sleep.
God Is not nn nngry father In pursuit of his
children and those who hive died are simply
gathered back Into their home. Neither Is
death a horrid beast stalking up and down
ready to grasp all , but rather n mother who
Is draping her children to her arms and
putting them Into their cradles. No one
cares to die , but slnco die wo must , men
should die llko hcroen and death should Co
made no moro conspicuous than laughing or
eating. If one's record can bear the Inspec
tion of olio's conscience no ono need have
ony terror.
HOW TO DIE.
"Thorp In room for nil to amllo and to
reach out nnd touch the hand of his fellowman -
man , " ho said. "When ono falls out the
ranks should bo closed again nnd go on und
do good as opportunity offered. Lv ! so
that.11 can bo said : "Thin man was not much
of thin world's goods , but at ) much ns he
was ho was of good nnd full measurement nnd
of good stuff. In fiplto of his cloth he was
a man. "
"Deputed brethren , bless you , " continued
the speaker. "You cannot como to ns nnd
wo do not want to go to you sooner than wo
tiavo to. Hut when wo must go. don't let us
KO llko slaves , hut llko men. Thug living ,
let us live ; dead , nmy wo not erase to ex
ist , hut lot our memory bo cherished OB n
lu-epsako to guldo thu living to the end. "

Exposition Amusement Features Will Have
Much of Interest !

. Detailed
Among the lorRCflt and most pcctt > tlous < f
the amusement features of the Midway of the
Transmlsslsslppl Exposition will bo the
j Moorish village. This concession will bo ttio
very gate to the exposition's amusement
! quarter. Just to the lefl of the main via-
'duct ' and close to Sherman avcnuo will bo
j clustered Its picturesque group of domes ,
, minarets , pinnacles and vorl-colored awnings
and streamers. The first of Its buildings Is a
low structure with two dome-capped towcra
in staff , glided and made to jcsemble repousso
gold. Towering above this building nnd
forming the further side of an open court
! will bo the palace , the main feature of the
group. In the form of a mosque with largo
central dome nnd corner spires. The Inter
vening court , with Its frivolous little ooen-
' nlr theater , will bo a veritable Uctflcal Ear-
den , masked from the public street by a
I double colonnade of Moorish arches , rooted
j with tile. In the palace Itself , travelers and
i students of architecture will recognize much
lot the beautiful and well known detail from
the Alhambra and other fa-.nlllar monuments
of Granada , with bits from Cordova and other
Mo rlsh Meet-as. Next beyond this will be
.1 Moorish house , correct In all Its detail ? ,
both Interior and exterior. Then come groups
of shops , gay with cistern rugs and metal
trinkets. Thcso shtns will bo arranged In
short recessed streets or cul-de-tacs , where
the visitor may easily give full swing to his
Imagination , for everything American will bo
shut from his view and to his ears will como
the call of the muezzin wafted from the
Streets of Cairo beyond. Two other large
buildings and more shops will complete this
Interesting ensemble.
The attractions of the Moorish Village ,
aside from Its exterior , will bo many and
varied. In the- first building several opti
cal Illusions will be shown , a capable illusion
ist hiving been sent abroad by the managers
of the concession to select and peciiro the
latest and best features In thin line. In the
palace will be displayed nil Interesting se'rlos
of tableaux and figures In wax , illustrating
history , art , science , the drama , poetry and
fiction , together with a "chamber of her
rors" and a "devil's cave. " Beyond the
palace oriental merchants will offer the beat
products of their countries , and In some of
the slices will be seen artisans engaged In
manufacturing the articles with which they
hc o to secure the odd dimes of the curlo.is.
In the last building will bo Installed the
"Moorish Mystic Maze , " a confusing. Intri
cate and elaborate arrangement of mlrrore ,
where the bewildered visitor may see him
self In all places , on all sides , and In all
directions ; where , walking in any dlrectlcn
he pleases he- will see crowds of himself
approaching , scores of himself going away ,
nnd dozens of himself walking with him.
It Is promised that many entirely novel fcu-
tures will be Introduced In the Maze.
SNAKE DANCE PROMISED.
Ono. of the concessions on the Midway of
the Transmlsslsslppi Exposition will be an
Indian village , which will be Inhabited by
representatives of four tribes of Pueblo In
dians. This concession has been awarded to
J. E. Saint of Albuquerque. N. M. , who
promises an en'e-tPlnment of the ir.o tuniq'e
and unusual nature.
The Pueblo Indians are among the s = ml-
clvlllzed of the North Amerban tribes. Msnv
of their rites and ceremonies are perfonceJ
In the same manner and for the same pur
poses that governed their performance befor ?
the white man set foot on this continent.
Among the tribes which Mr. Slnt says ho
will have In his village are the Moguls , on-
of the mildest and least offensive o ( all. Some
of the ceremonies of this tribe are blood
curdling in the extreme to the unlnlt'ated ' ,
and none more so 'than the far-famed snake
dance. This is one -of the most sacred re
ligious rites of the Moguls Indians end Is
performed with the greatest pomp andl cere
mony. It Is a solemn celebration , intended
to propitiate the god of rain and Induce him
to send refreshing showers on the parched
plains.
Mr. Saint assures the exposition authori
ties that he has ir.adc arrangements by which
this dance will bo presented at the expcei-
tlon. He says he has sscurei a number of
members of the tribe who will go through
the performance In all Its details.
COMMISSIO.N KHO.M M'.W MI2MCO.
1 , . llriidford I'rliioe Kloeted I'roHldenI
at ItH Mcotliii ; ,
Hon. L. Bradford Prince of New Mexico
writes to the Department of Publicity that
the commission from that to rltory has or
ganized , and last week held a two days
session at Sante Fe. Organization was ef
fccted by electing L. Bradford Prince presi-
Jcnt , T. J. Curran secretary and S. H. Daj
treasurer. The matter of making an exhihli
was thoroughly discussed , and It was de
cICcd that at least -1,000 square feet wouli
be reeded. On this topic the following reso
ltitlon was adopted :
Resolved , That this commission Is desir
ous of making an exhibit at Omaha , as
complete and satisfactory as the smnl
meaiiH at command will permit , and wll
use every exertion to that end ; that an Im-
parfect and Incomplete exhibit will be sat
isfactory ntlthcr to the exposition authori
ties , nor to the people of New Mexico , and
In fact will bo Injurious to the terrltlry
Instead of benellclal ; that In conslderntlon
of the small sum at our disposal , It Is
necessary to concentrate the territorial
exhibit and ( 'online It to the following de
partments : Mineral ; aprlcultural , Including
HIP sugar liiiet. wool and canalara Indus
tries * , horticultural , historical and educa
tional ; that the smallest possible amount
( if Hpnce required for these exhibits Is as
follows : Mineral , 2,000 Hquare feet ; agricul
tural , 1,000 nqimre feet ; horticultural , EKX
square feet ; historical and educational
Hcitmre fuel. An exhibit .of double tlilx xpace
will be far more satisfactory to all con
cerned than ono thus cramped and clr-
cumHcrlbed , and we earnestly request the
exposition authorities to furnish doublu the
areas above tpeellled nnd pledge ourselves
to have It satisfactorily occupied.
Hes-'olvrd , Trnt It Is Impossible for this
commission to pay anything whatever for
space at the exposition , the small sum at
our disposal being Insulllclcnt to pay the
expenses of collecting , transporting nnd
taking charge of the exhibit during thu
exposition ; and If thu exposition authori
ties cannot furnish thn minimum spnco
above mentioned frco of charge , wo will
be compelled most reluctantly to abandon
thu attempt to make an exhibit , feelliiK
assured that an Imperfect and Incomplete
exhibition of the products anil resources of
the territory will be both unsatisfactory
and Injurious ,

H Is n fact that the residents of this city
are more and more coming to be a bi > ok-
reading and a well-informed class of people.
U Is known that the citizens of Ncbrnskn are
the leant Illiterate of those In any state ami
It may soon be said that the average of
Omaha's Intelligence ranks higher tl.un that
of Any city. An Indication of this Is found In
the monthly report ? of the Omaha Public
library , which ehoha crevlltablo patronage In
proportion to the Inhabitants of the city. In
comparison with the corresponding weeks
last year the recwd of last month's business
dhows a heavy Increase. With the. adults a
membership In the library seems to nave be
come s much a matter of courtc as any
other household necessity , nnd to the ch.ldrcn
the library Is only secr.nd to the public
school.
The number of 'books borrowed In the
library proper last nwnth ghows un Increase
over November , a year ngo , of 15 per cent ;
while In the children's department thu pcr-
very definite reason can be given for tills
centago of Increase U over 23 per cent. No
very definite .itflseti can be given for this sur
prisingly Increased usu of the library. H has
been laid to better times , making It possible
for the .public to give more time U llteiature
mid to arlleilcis In The 'Bee ' setting forth more
clearly the resources of the great book ex-
chango. The increase In the chlldien's de
partment may bo partly accounted for by the
establishment of the children's reading r. om
j and better nrrnngonit'iits lor their care. The
I tables below , taken from the acting
librarian's report made last week , show a
comparison of figures of the home circulation
In the adult nnd juvenile departments :

AT THE READING IIOOM.
The attendance In the reading room docs
not fall behind t'.ie ) high record of the other
departments. A popular feature was added
last month In placing all the magazlitss sub
scribed for by the library on the tables
wit bin ready reach. The list numbers 101 ,
end many magazines show evidence of being
read now which were often never touched
when It was nieccssary to refer to the cata
logue and apply for them at the desk. An
attendant keeps a careful account of visi
tors at the reading room and flndei the com
parative figures last month to be as fol
lows :

The attendance In the reference room and

to bo equally cattafoctory. Several 1m-

! Inga of the former room. 'New cases have
been provided for public documents , such ab
