8 THE OM.AIIA DAILY BElS : MONDAY , ITEmiUAPY 14. 1808. INSTALLS ITS NEW PASTOR Congregation of a North Bldo Ohnrch Begins Woik Afresh KNOX PRESBYTERIAN HAS A HEAD AGAIN Blcv. Andrew Clirlnly IJrfmn rormnll } Imliieted Into the Clmrwc of the C'onsrrKiitlim nnri III Siilr I ' , Itunl Welfare. ' Again the people of. Knox Presbyterian church have a pastor , Rev. Andrew Christy Ilrown having been duly Installed by the officers of the Omaha I'resbylcry. Tlio serv ices were held yesterday afternoon and the church was crowded to Its capacity. The Interior of the church was tastily decorated with potted plants , cut flowers and wreaths of green. The Installation services were unusually Interesting , solmcn and lmpre/a- Ive. ; Last summer Rev. Asa Leard , who hail been pastor of Knox church for several years , resigned to accept a call In Missouri. A number of clergymen wcro Invited and preached trial sermons , but none of them qulto filled the bill until llev. Andrew Christy Brown of Pcorla , III. , came. The first tlmo that ho occupied the pulpit ho pleased the congtugatlon BO well that he was urged to preach again. He did so and his scccud sermon was bettor than the first. Thu question of his employment was loft to the congregation and he returned to his home. A few days later the matter ot call ing Her. Brown was brought up for consld. oration and every member voted to cxlenj the call. The board having charge of the matter informed Hev. Ilrown of the action of tho" church and soon thereafter he ac cepted and came to Omaha , bringing his family with him. That was several weeks ago and since that time ho has been holding services at the Knox church , but the olll- clal Insinuation its pallor did not occur until yesterday afternoon. The Installation of a now pastor I" cere mony that as a rule Is attended by many ol the clergymen and that of yesterday was no exception , as most of tlio Presbyterian min isters of the city were In attendance. At the appointed hour for the services , Rev. S. M. Ware , pastor of the Second Presby terian church , and also a member of thp Omaha Presbytery , called the attention of the congregation to the nature of the serv ices after which the venerable Rev. W. W. Harsha led In prayer , Invoking the blessing of God upon the new pastor , the family and the members of the church. This was fol lowed by the Installation sermon delivered by llev. J M. Wilson , pastor oE the Castcl- lar Street Presbyterian church , who dis coursed In his usual enthusiastic manner. CHARGE TO THE PASTOR. The charge to the pastor wus ilellvoreJ by Rev. Dr. Lowery of the Presbyterian seminary , a man who had much to do with securing Uev. Ilrown for the Knox church. Dr. Lowery is also the man who supplied the pulpit during the tlmo that the church was without a pastor and worked to keep the membership Intact. In charging the pas tor ho called attention to the fact that therj are other things than preaching required of n successful preacher. These things ho felt confident llev. Drown possessed , as ho Is a man of God and eminently fitted for the calling. Attention w is. called to the fact that Uev. Drown is not a novice , or a stu dent Just out of a theological seminary , but a man of mature- years , who has served God for years , preaching Ills word. In delivering the charge to the people of Knox church Rev. Steven Phelps said : "Thcro arc four p's that make It possible for a pastor to do his duty , and I hope that tlio people of this congregation will remem ber what they are and what they mean. Thcro Is pay up , pray up , pralso up and par sonage up your pastor. " In taking up the p's the reverend gentleman said that no pai'tor can preach well unless ho Is paid up. It , ho said , la the duty of the congre gation to pray up Its pastor and also to pralso him. Regarding the matter of prais ing a pastor IJr. Phelps recited an incident. A church had secured a now pastor and one morning one of the members was going down town after having listened to the pastor's Initial sermon the night before. The car was crowded , but notwithstanding ho wap loud In the praises of that pastor. The re sult was that the next Sunday the church was crowded and everybody went awav praising the sermon. This pralso continued and It was not long until the church was the most popular In the city , all duo to the pralso that members bestowed upon their pactor. The speaker urged upon the congre gation tlio necessity of securing a parsonage for Its pastor ; not a rented shanty , but a hotisu that would be a credit to the church , which , ho said , had n reputation ot never doing things by halves. The necessity of sociability In the church was discussed at Mine length , the speaker contending that It is ono of the essentials In the building up of a strong society. He urged tlio members of the church to call upon the pastor and his family and extend a welcome hand , making them feel at homo In the community. "Say a good word for your pastor's preaching and 'do It before you leave the church , " added Dr. Phelps , "After ho finishes his sermon walk right up to the pulpit and tell him that you liked the sermon. This makes a preacher feel good , as It convinces him that there Is at least ono person who appreciates his ef forts. " In closing his charge Dr. Phelps said that ho know Rev. Ilrown years ago , and also know that ho was ono of the best of preach ers a man who would bo a credit to the church , to the community and to the city Regarding his wife , ho said that ho had known her for years and that she was a good woman , an ornament to society and a loving mother. CONFESS AMI nni.iivii , ix CHRIST , lllxhop nmlley of Koiitiioky on the Duty of GhrlHtliiii. The pulpit of Trinity Protestant Episcopal cathedral was occupied yesterday morning by Rt. Rev. Thomas Underwood Dudley , b'ahop ot Kentucky , and recently chosen secretary ot the missionary board of the Episcopal church. The cathedral was nearly filled with Us usual largo and fashionable congregation. Bishop Dudley Is n forcible speaker , and ex pressed ( ho truths of the gospel In a most caiuest ranancr. Tim text of the morning discourse was taken from St. Paul's epistle to the Romans , x , 9 : "That If thou ehalt ccnfess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus , and shall believe In 3 Trains * a Day To Chicago * * r They Icavo nt OM8 n. tn. , CiOS p. m. , ami 7:50 : p. ra.

PA - A T. tblno heart that God hath raised Him from tbo dead , thou ahalt bo saved. " In the courio of his ecrmon Btehop Dudley eald : "In Ihlo p&fiiagc. Paul emphasized what ho believed to be true Christianity. In thine heart and In thlac mouth are the Important quallflcatlon , The man who wrote theee words I believe to have been the mightiest man that God ever let llvo en this earth , and he know whereof he wrote when ho made u o of the words of the text In his letter to the Romans. What ho preached was oot a theory , but a fact , Wo are some times brought face to face with the sai fact that great numbers of men Inquire every day If Oed did raise Christ Jesus from the dead. They ask not In words ol flippancy or of blueplicmy. but In all serious ness. What filiall we tell our friends \\lio ask If they are to believe that the Lori ralfitd Christ Jeaus from the dead ? What do wo tell them whcei they ask us ? " Bishop Dudley denounced the current at tacks on the authenticity of the bible , am said that If we accepted only the statement that the Lord rafeed Christ Jesus from the dead , then wo had within us a living gospel Ho paid an eloquent tribute to the great works that had been accomplished by the holy catholic church within the last 1900 3 cam , and briefly Illustrated this by point ing to tbo progrcm ot civilization and the betterment of the condition of women In Christian lends. In conclusion Iitshop Dudley en hi : "I say It on the authority ot the Great .Master Him self that the Lord did raise Jesus Chris from the dead. To bo saved Is 4o be made like Jesus Christ. You ask what effect 1 ( will have on your character to ballcvo tha the Lord raised Christ from the dead. I' ' will have a saving effect. The heart Is no the homo of the reasoning powers , 1m rather df the affectionate powers. There fore I'aul says Uollevo In thlno heart,1 am ho uses the word 'heart1 advisedly. Tha Is faith to say 'Lord , You command ; I obey. If I am Joined to Him I am saved , savci now , saved here , saved forever. Christianity Is nothing If It Is not the firm 'belief ' that the Lord raised Jesus Christ from the dead If thou dost bcllevo this then thou dost be- llevo everything In Christ , and thou art saved. " AT ST. 'PHILIP ' THE DEACON'S. Bishop Dudley was the guest ycsterdaj afternoon ot the Church of St. Philip the Deacon on .North . Tvvonty-flrst street. The opening exercises were In charge of Hov John Albert Williams , the resident pistor who Introduced the bishop to his parish- loners. The bishop has devoted a largo per tlon of his llfo to work among the colored PICO and was looked upon by the congre gation as an especial friend. Bishop Dudley chose his text from Acts I 15 , "Tho number of names together were an hundred and twenty. " Ho said that the number given represented the total member ship of the Christian church after three years of Christ's ministry , when tlio session had b'een called to fill a vacancy In the apostolic college. After a labor of twenty years trying to Implant In a barren soil the teachings of the old apostolic Episcopal church , the bishop said ho took consolation over the small apparent results by thp thought that Christ 'Himself ' felt His work to bo worth utillo when ho had won only 120 members to the Crhlstlan church after a ministry of thrco years. "It Is ono of the hardest tests of Christian faith , " said iBlshop Dudley , "to understand why Christianity makes so llttlo visible progress that after 1900 years Chrlsthns are In numbers but a febble folk upon the earth. It Is a fact , however , that as a factor in progress nnd civilization the Influence of this religion Is a power above all others among the nations. Many of the years of my serv- lee have been spent by mo In the work of organizing the Episcopal church among the colored race In Kentucky , and when anyone doubts that I have been making headway and ? jjskj for results I have authority for the value of even a small accomplishment In the words 'Tho number of the names together wro an hundred and twenty. ' "In conilderlng the growth of the early church ono reason why people flocked to Its standard was Its unity and the single pur pose of Us membership. The church was not divided as now Into a hundred different sects , each jealous of the other. Although the differences of the present day are not In fundamental principles , they Interfere with the advancement of Christianity. How often , when I go to a little country town and find half a dozen churches struggling tor exist ence , I wish that they all might be united for the furtherance of one1 cause and the overcoming of the common enemy. Why can they not receive the creed of the apostles tles , as tholr only doctrine , which neither specifies whether a man shall bo baptized In the sea or from a Uisln ? For my part I would as soon be baptized In the one as In the other , for I am sure that If the manner of It had been essential It would not have been left in doubt. "Another reason for the rapid spread of. Christianity in the early days was the sim plicity and clearness of the doctrine , which had not then been complicated by scholastic Intricacy. The third and most potent at tractive Influence In those days was the spir itual power of the men and women who [ ireached the doctrine. Their manner of life had given them a distinction which was no ticed by the Homan teacher In a Christian family , who later made the remark : 'What women these Christians have ! ' There was an attraction In the simple fact that Chris tiana were more brave , more true and more pure than the people of their time. " AT ALL SAINTS' CHURCH. Bishop Dudley of Kentucky occupied the pulpit at All Saint's church last night nnd preached to a congregation that filled the edifice very comfortably. His sermon was upon the duty placed upon Christians to do missionary work ani was based upon the narratives In the New Testament which In dicated that each new convert to Christ at once sought to Induce his or her friends to share In their now llfo. Tbo Introductory to the sermon consisted of a sketch ot this characteristic of tbo early Christian re ligion , In commenting upon his text , the preacher said that the essential piinciplo of the Christian church from that tlmo until this Is that every member must go after some one to share dn his spiritual life. This prin ciple was Htrlklngly typified lu the case of h'aul of Tarsus , 'who had b3en one ot the most vigorous of the persecutors of tie fol lowers of Christ and who after his conver sion at once gave up all his worUly glory and started to preach Christ. It should bo so today and It Is tn accordance with that principle that missionaries are content to llvo In the crowded streets ot China and In the huts of Africa for the purpose of telling the Ignorant of how God raised Chrlat from the dead , The explanation of the necessity of this principle was told by the bishop. Ho eald that If the Christian religion Is nothing niaro than a religious club or only ono of the religions of the world If It Is but a book of morality , or an Institution to conform to the conventionalities of the nineteenth century It would only bo necessary for the members to get through with It as speedily os possible. But since It means that the convert Is made a part of Christ and the spiritual life Is made manifest In him , U follows that ho must perforce Beck to tell ef his secret happiness to others and en deavor to Induce others to share It with ilm. "With this view , " said the preacher , 'how can I , a Christian , hflp going to those who wcro as blind as I wus ? " The preacher said that ho had heard men say that they had no Interest In tbo mis sionary work of the church. Ho asserted that when they say that they mean that they have no Interest lu iCio principle for which tbo church was Instituted that they lave no Interest In the work for which Christ gave his llfo. If this statement Is considered to 1U natural conclusion H means ijint $ urlv a Chrlatlan baa no Inteicet In JojfQa ChrUt. i Jiiany ClirUtlana assert that when they approach their friends In their deslro of converting them , the epcaker continued , they are repulsed. This may bo true , but It was pointed out that argument and rhetoric were not lo bo employed lu the work. These friends should simply bo In vited to ece for themselves what -true Chris tianity cen do. And If ( success attended tbo efforts , the bishop Insisted that the greatest possible blessedness would be the due of itioao who had made them. Service * at V , 31. C , A. The gospel pervlces held In the rooma of tbo Young Men's Christian association yes terday drew their usual largo attendance.

F * . 31. SlftHon 1'rcnclirn of IIic drcnt Vrrnlilrnt nnd HI * Work. The life of Abraham Lincoln furnished the theme of the morning discourse at the Han- scom Park Methodist church ycatcnlay. The members of U. S. Grant pest of the Grand Army of the Republic attended In n body and occupied seats In the center of the auditorium and the altar was appro priately draped with a huge American flag. Similar flags wcra suspended from the organ loft and between them hung a largo portrait trait of Lincoln. The pnstor , llev. P. M. Slsson , spoke from the paseaffs , "Great In council and mighty In doing. " Ilia sermon was a vigorous portrayal of the virtues of the dead prtaldent , although somewhat largely occupied with minutely namatcd In cidents of his life. The speaker said that Lincoln was a fit ting Illustration of the declaration ot the text. A part of this Sabbath day might ho spent In recounting his achievements with honor to the church , to the country and to God. Turning to the veterans who sat Im mediately before ) htm , Hev , Slsson said 'that ' they formed the connecting link with the hero who was In their thoughts. An long as ono of them was left In the ranks that link would bo maintained. Some day the I nut of thorn would stop out , but their mem ory would bo held In grateful remcmh 'branco ' as long as the nation existed. The deeds ot brave men were at once a nation's greatest Inheritance and Its blessing. The tragic death of Abraham Lincoln had brousht us many expressions of condolence and of faith In the future destiny of the ) republic , which might otherwise never have been , received. These who had ibcen closest to Lincoln had prophesied that as the years passed men would write his name the high est ot any that had adorned our history as a nation. Even now" this prophecy seemed to .bo fulfilled nnd on Friday his name had 'been ' honored In the public schools of the country as no other had been honored , The Importance of this public school lesson In patriotism was emphasized , as there was no other 'placo where the lesson could so wel bo taught nnd the hope was expressed that the llttlo red school house might always bo seen on every hllltcn > and In every valley The spealter proceeded to briefly dlscusi the personal characteristics of the subject o the discourse. He emphasized the fact that ho was possessed of both courage and con servatism In a remarkable degree , a com blnatlon seldom found In the same Indivi dual. Another distinguishing characteristic of the man was his faith In Almighty God Ho believed In the Cod of Nations ns well cs In the God of the Individual. Ho abounded In charity , oven for his enemies and ho had the patience to wait until the day of victory was at hand. Ho was llko the pendulum of a clock , always steady and always on time. Ho was a politician , he was amibltlous , ho enjoyed the applause ol the people , ibut through It all ho was honest and fair and upright. The remainder ot the sermon wag devoted to a historical review of the life of Presldenl Lincoln and from the history of his youthful efforts , the speaker drew the conclusion thai ho had made himself great when he was still a boy. No man should think that he could leap Into prominence and distinction unless ho had prepared himself for It. Lin coln's whole life had .been a preparation of mind and body and heart for the great emergency that the future bad for him and he came to the great struggle of his lifo eo fully equipped that no burden was too heavy for him to bear. LIFE UVS O.A HACK COUIISH. Merion Smith UKCN n. I'll I Illustration lu Hln Sermon. Ilov. Morton Smith , the" evangelist of Chicago cage , opened tils third week of meetings at the First United Presbyterian church by preachlog yesterday both mc/imlng and" even ing. He has been so eminently successful during the last two weeks that he has been Induced to remain another week. Ho will hold meetings at the church every evening during the week , and on every afternoon al 4 o'clock bo will hold services at the rooms cf the Young Women's Christian aesocla- , tlon. tlon.At At yesterday morning's services at tbe church Rev. Mr. Smith discoursed upon "Tho Christian Ilacc , " and exemplified his sermon with two Illustrations. In ono he compared the ways and methods of Chrla- tlans Jurmg life to a horse race. In the second he likened their religious lite to the journey of the Israelites through the wilder ness. He was earnest and attractive In liU remarks , and bo was listened to by a con gregation that filled every pew in the church. It is noticeable In a horse race , said tbo preacher , that the horsea get off In a bunch , but OB the race proceeds ono forges to the front , another Is a second and there is a third and a fourth. Following them come straggling the remainder of the horeei , Christians go through life just as the horses run In euch a race. There Is some ono at the head , and there Is a good second and a third , but the big majority stay behind In a bunch. It was at this point that the evangelist gave his lesson to his listeners Ho said that It Is necessary for Christians , like horses In a race , to be entered , and they can bo entered In the race of life only through Jesus Ctirlst. Once started In the race they should exert every sinew to bo at the head of the church and religious work Instead ot staying behind In a lagging bunch , The preacher pointed much the same moral In picturing the Journey of the Israelites through tha'wilderness. Ho described the natknal life of the people , and said that God found them just as ho finds people in the world today without religion In their souls. They were In bondage that was hard and were crying out for deliverance ; today there ore men and women who are In as core straits and arc Just as eager for de- llvciance. God delivered the Israelites , called Moses , and under his leadership sent them on their way to the promised land ; today he Is as ready to deliver those who desire to be freed. The o\angelBt ! then described the Journey of the Israelites through the desert and the wilderness , and In al' the Incidents pointed out a parallel In the religious life of Chris tians of today. Ho said that llko tha Israelites , the Christians must take the jour ney through the wilderness , but too many of them look upon It as a gloomy trip. This Is a mistake , since the Journey Is one of gladness to ICio promised land. Christiana want to stay too long In the wllJcrncs.i. They wander around and around or seem to 1)0 walking on a treadmill. Ho urged them to press forward on the Journey as speedily as possible. Thpn ho asked what kept them back. One of the great drawbacks Is that they ore not satisfied with Christ ; they want something that Christ cannot glvo them. Again they are hampered by desires and. pleasures. Some women are too much In love with dress. Ho Is pleased to see womn well dressed , nnd many who are attired In the helgljt of fashion are better Christians than these who are slovenly and criticise them. But no WOIIUB who loves dress for dress' sake can iccome a goo ] Christian , and therefore he iwlsted that such must put this love aside icfore they can pass from the wilderness , It Is the same with cards or with anything clso that Interferes with religious life. Christians can pats from the wilderness , continued the speaker , only when tlisa ilcasures are thrown away Into the River Jordan as It wero. And M they float down ho stream , he fold that the people can pass over Into the promised lani , just as the vater receded before tbo Israelites and they crossed dryehod , AlT THE Y , M. C , A. ROOMS. Rev , Morton Smith delivered a practical allc to the members of the Young Men's Christian association yesterday afternoon. The subject , as announced , was "Tho Strong est Verse In the Bible. " In opening the meeting Rev. Dr. Smith devoted - voted nearly half an hour to guessing con test. In which nearly everyone present took part. The solution of the problem waj given > y Physical Instructor Barnes , -who quoted Paul's epistle to the Romans , x , 9 ; "If thou ahalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus , and shalt bcllevo In thlno heart thit God lath raised Him from tbo dead , thou shall be eaved. " In commenting upon the verso Rev , Dr. Smith isald U was quite evident from th'o ' quotation and many others In the bible that ho one great quality required In a Christian wca faith. In the sublime plan of God's re- Igton all sin had been atoned for by Christen on Calvary. All that Ho now required ot Ills > eopU w a faith and A llfo. which should con form to Christ's was In nlecnscs ) ) based upon faith. A pcnson might.Ivc ( for many years In a condition ot nlbt yet -when ho was at length brought to a belief In the Saviour's llfo n now existence wad bequeathed to him for Ms Inherited et wnn ( life. The speiker talked ht Borne length ot bad habits which the yoith ( of the day were apt to acquire. The Injuries Inflicted upon the body by smoking , chewing and use of In toxicants wcro described And these present warned of despoiling the flesh , which was HkcncHl to the templtiot cjio soul , There are many people who wished to lead a pure llfo yet who go about thecalyatlon of themselves In the wrong manner. To those who had led an evil llfo the first act In their lives helping them toward the throne of God waste to break the spell cast about them by the devil. When his domination over the soul has once been broken the way to the eternal llfo Is easy of accomplishment. Faith In Christ and lielr ) from God gained by prayer accomplish the re t. The speaker's dis course was Interspersed by a wealth of anecdotes and stories which kept up Us In terest throughout the hour devoted to the address. Music was furnished by the Young Men's Christian association male quartet. 1M7TH E1)E.TO IHA.V13 A 1'ASTOIl. Extend tn Cull ( n Hev. C , II. Allen oC llelenu , Mont. Another Omaha pulpit 'which has been vacant some months will probably soon bo filled again. At a business meeting held at the Beth-Eden Baptist church , Immediately after the morning services , the congrega tion unanimously agreed to call Rev , C. B. Allen ot Helena , Mont. , to the pastorate of the church. The pulplfc has been vacant slnco the resignation of Dr. Everts , who ac cepted a call to thq Park Baptist church of EU Paul last fall. Rev. Mr. Allen Is a gradu ate of the Chicago University. For the last twelve years he has been pastor of the Bap tist church ot Helena. A large congregation Rreot/'d Rev , Mr. Mlckle , who confronted to flll the pulpit , Dr. Jl. L. Stetson , president of DCS Molnes col lege , not being1 able to come as had h3cn previously announced. His text was from John 111-2 , "Beloved , now are wo the sons of God. " By nature man cannot bo In harmony with God , said the preacher. The human mind rauet undergo a complete regeneration to attain tha * state. An outward regenera tion Is not all that Is necessary ; for com plete reformation an entire spiritual change ) must , bo undergone. No man > should stand toJay where ho stood last year. An ad vance of 305 days ehould have been made In Christian devotion. Llttlo was It known wli n Marshal Ney , Napoleon or Martin Van Buren were , boys what the future held for them. Their energy and zeal advanced them to promicncc. So It la wl < th Christians. Religious zeal and devotion will begot ono a future of untold grandeur anj happiness. Many persons worry about the resurrection and the kind of "bodies we shall have In our eternal home. Like Christ , cur older brother , wo shall leave In the grave all that is material and exist in spiritual purity.

She Is a charming gentle-woman nnd as she has but few peers and no superiors lu her chosen work , Bho can afford to bo natural and un assuming. She lectures every morning dur ing the winter In Philadelphia nnd every aft ernoon In New York , so that her tlmo Is precious and her correspondence Important. It Is said that no ono can possibly be n good cook who Is not generous and Mrs. Rarer with her fine figure , her elegant black gown with white lace at the throat and wrists , made a picture anyone would enjoy seeing. It was difficult to persuade her to talk of hereelf ; she preferred to tell of the suffer ings , the noble llfo and beautiful character of another pioneer In scientific cookery , Juliet Corson , who so lately died alter an Ill ness of fifteen years. ( Mrs. Rorer has visited many cities In America and 'Europe . She speaks of her travels and her achievements without vanity and says aho Is able to do two women's work , because she has discovered the true art of living. Her complexion Is fresh as a girl's. She knows several things about politics , too , and says there Is not a populist In the cast and that strikes are unknown In Phila delphia , because men are engaged In paying for their homes and have no tlmo. She spoke of the 72,000 worklngmen's homes , built on the well known plan which has made Philadelphia famous and as a student of homctnaklng and better living , she ap preciates to the full what the bath rooms and modern conveniences mean In these homes and to these working people. She had quite a thrill of pride in her voice when she said , "we have no tenement houses. " It Is her first visit to Omaha and she ex pects to see many things to Interest her. She made a number ot inquiries In regard to the exposition and as she was one of the cen tral figures In the Chicago exposition , she Is aware of the work and management neces sary to success. Her first Omaha lecture will bo given in the largo dining room at the corner ot Douglas and Seventeenth streets nnd the subject will bo "Simplicity in Cooking. " These lectures are not simple cooking dem onstrations , but are the result of years of experiment and scientific research along ITio line of food nnd Its effects on the human system. HUILDING X15W HUMUS l.V OM'AJIA. J. O. Ulrica of 3imnuUeeotIocN mi 'Improvement ' Iti TliIn Respect. "People fn Omaha have no right to com plain ot hard times now , " said J. C. Ulrlch , western agent for a Milwaukee screen com pany , at the Millard last night. "I was a resident of Omaha during the celebrated boom days , and of course I got a pretty nccurato luea of what prosperity meant tea a town. Then followed the days of depres sion , and naturally I found out what poverty was In business circles. I have been making this point once a year ever sliico I took up my resldenco in the cast , nnd I want to say that at not tlmo cohering this period have the prospects for a revival In building hero been so bright as during the present season. I have In my note book the- names ot sixteen merchants ot Omaha who have under con struction residences valued at ftom $5,000 to $25,000. That looks -though they had tome faith In the future prosperity of the city and intended to make It their homo for the rest of their lives. I notice nlso In my sales that our firm 'is ' supplying goods for a better grade of houses than ever before. In workIng - Ing up the local trade I find that nearly every purchaser desires the best class of our goods and will have no other. This Is so in a great degree of othc's who are putting up business buildings. Persons who live here have llttlo Idea of the- actual amount of building which Is steadily going on under their very eyes. It is only men who make ! t their business who take note of this sort ot thine. I have made a circuit of a large number ot western cities during my present tour and can safely say that in no place Is their as muchi going on In the building line as In Omaha. If orders continue coming In from this city -as fast ns they have been during the last few days I will do four times as much business hero as I have transacted elnco the old boom times. " SATIS KYI.VCt THIS SWIEUT TOOTH. Ceo rue CDY of St. IiOiilx Till UN LHiouf thr Ciniily Ilal.K "Tho candy appetite Is ono which hard times cannot subdue , " remarked George Cox , we&tern salesman for a largo mnnufactur- 'ng firm of St. Louis , last night. "I have been covering this territory for nearly seven years , I was hero In good times and in years when money was scarce , yet you would bo surprised to learn how llttlo the amounts of our sales have fluctuated during this period. I suppose what la true of our business also applies to some extent to the cigar business , or any others which conceit human tootea , That czridy eating is n habit I think there la none to deny. People make fun of the caramel-eating matlneo girl , bu she forms but a small portion of the many who patronize ua. First , of course , Is the Juvenile contingent , the boy or girl who will eat anything from a "jawbreaker" to the "opera cream" rnd will wako up in the middle of the night to satisfy their crav ing for sweets ; but you will see many n gray-haired boy or girl pai'onlze a street stand or candy store with n regularity which is surprising. Of courao the use of candy may bo abused like any other commodity which wo consume , yet If used In modera tion It Is . .healthful. Styles In candy vary the same as In brands of cigars or whisky. Of course there Is a staple article in cer tain lines which commands a steady sale , yet from year to year wo get out noveltlcrj which have a more or less popularity for a time , Last year our Christmas gifts had n run , Grotesque figures In frosted work dec orated with pictures and other substances held the boards , and we sold tons ot them. Some of theoa sweets were gotten up In ar tistic ehapo somewhat after the mauler of a valentine and readily commanded prices of from C to 25 cents apiece. It Is hard to tell what the fad will bo this year.

AMUSEMENTS. fyegpftp + fcujW The Hopkins Trans-Oceanic Star Speciilty company , under tlio management of Robert Fulgora , opened a half-week's engagement yesterday afternoon at Iloyd's theater. The Hopkins company Is without doubt one of the best , It not tbo very best , of the organ- tzatlons of Its class In this country , as those who have seen It hero before can tra- tlfy and the present engagement bids fair to prove that the friends of vaudeville have not forgotten former pleasures afforded by the TianH-Oceanlc people. The company con tains Will H. Fox , who still holds out to please largo numbers in his burlesque , "Paddywblskl ; " Gcnaro ani Bailey , who execute a whltofaco cake walk together with negro songs and dances ; Mr. nml Mrs. Ar thur Eldman , In o charming sketch called "A Hit of Heal Life , " giving Mr. Sidman a clmnco to do an excellent piece of Yankee farmer character work , and Morton and Rovello lu a conventional act affording talk volumes in Mr. Morton opportunity to the minutes allotted him In "rag time , " of which system of articulation ho Is the proud originator. Vlnlo DoWitt won aver by her excellent In playing upon the cornet , the Karno trio from the Canterbury Music Hall , n3 last but by London , were well received , no means least , tlio Nelson family. Justly hlcli in tlio scale cf acrobatic excellence , in a wonderful exhibition of skill and Btrcmgth. The name of Henry Kesntcr , tenor singer , appears on the bill , but Mr. Kcwlcr did not participate In the first performance for fiomo reason. The engagement of the Hopkins company continues until Wednesday evening with a matlnco Wednesday. The Woodward company prcsente-J "Tho Danltes" at the Crolghton with the usual matinee. The company Is somewhat en. Urged for the performance of the piece , and gave the general satisfaction which has como to bo expected of them. "The Panltes will run until Wednesday evening with a uutlnco on that day , and "Tho Black Flag will flll out the week. The Jose Quintette , well known In connection formerly with "Tho Old Homestead , " and Hen Harney , tbo "rag time" pianist and his plckannlny band are two excellent specialties which will add to the pleasures afforded all the week at the Creghton. Jamca O'Neill will , during Ills visit to this city this time , appear In an elaborate revival of "Tho Dead Heart , " which play Mr , O'Neill first appeared at Hoolcy's theater , Chicago , flvti ycsre ago , Immediately after Sir Henry Irvlng's 'production at tlio Lyceum theater , London. "Tho Dead Heart" was then rec ognized as one of the greatest romantic plays this country had over seen , Its ( success wao not only attributed to the u talnoJ Interest of Its absorbing plot , Imt was also duo to > the magnificent rendering of the chief role of Robert Landry , the young eculptor. who tacrlflcea his own. life lit order to save that of the son of his early love. The scenic ac- cesrforlcs and beautiful costumes are all now and havoibeen painted especially for the pro duction this year.
