The opening session of the Transmls slsslppl Conference ot Chnrltlcs nnd Cor rcctlon was held last evening In the Firs Congregational church. The meeting ! which will be held in this city during th next five days are under the auspices of th National Conference of Charities and Cor rectlon nnd will take the place of the an nual state confercnco which was to hav been held at this time. Ileprcscntatlves ai present not only from the transmlsslsslpr territory but also from several of the east ern states , who come , as they say , to lear the systems and methods of the wester conferences and to gain Ideas from worker In a comparatively new field. The session last evening was well at tended nnd took the form of a reception I the visiting delegates , with addresses c welcome by the leading divines of Omaha. In the absence of Governor Holcomb , wh Is president of the Nebraska State confci ence , the vice president , Rev. Campbo Fair , occupied the chair. Divine blesslr was Invoked by Bishop Worthlngton. JThc followed a short message ot welcome troi Mayor Frank E. Moorcs , read by his prlva1 secretary , as the mayor was scheduled fi three addresses of welcome last evening. The first address ot welcome from the pu pit of Omaha was delivered by Uev. D S. Wright Butler. He referred to the. convei tlons that are now being held In this cl' ' and dwelt ujon the thought that amor them all , coming with the enthusiasm competing excellences and aiming alwa ; at rcrfect'lon , none Impressed him so mui as this conference meeting to discuss n perfection , fiut defection not merit , b misfortune. And yell It did not seem to hi that the delegates looked morbid or a' ' normal. They were neither optimistic n pessimistic , but they take things as th como and despair of nothing. He wou call them nmelloratlsts. Uev. W. W. Harsha welcomed the del gates in behalf of twelve Presbytorl : churches of this city , and In behalf ot t great cause of humanity which they re rcbcnt. But ho said that he sympathlz with the work not onry because of the brol orhood ot man which the conference syi bollzes , but also because It was Chris teaching , and God had placed It In th ( hands to do. Uabbl Leo M. Franklin spoke In behalf the Jewish church. He said that the seemed to be a special fitness Chat the Ji as a Jew should loin in welcoming m and women who have left their homes discuss the questions which a Jew flrst i tempted to solve. It was a Jew , too , w first conceived that generous thought ! tl the prunlngs of the trees and the gleanlr of the fields should not bo gathered In , I loft for the needy. Ho was glad to be al to speak from a platform thaJ recognl ; neither sect nor creed and before a beef of men and women who meet not in the na of any sectarian Savior or sectarian G but In the name of that better reflgl which may be called humanity under C and alms to lift up the fallen rafher tl make long prayers and offer frequent 111 tions. v > The last address of welcome was Relive In "behalf of by ncv.

In referrlni the National Conference of Charities he ! that no resolution had ever been pat and no legislation made. Questions h been discussed and settled without for action. Mr. Uosenau was followed by General Brlnkerhoff of Ohio , who has been coune ed with the organization since Us organlza lake twenty years ago. Ho gave a brief out of the principles of the association ke referred to his experiences In personal In tlgation ot prisons , which ho had made subject of special study for many y Ho said that alms-giving was admlttei bo an evil rather than a good.

The meeting was held undei the auspices of the Young Men's Ucpubllcni club which was organized the fore part o the week. U was not known until about I o'clock that Mr. Mercer would bo present but as It was there was hardly a vacan seat In the hall and more enthusiasm thai usual was displayed. Congressman Mcrce started out by congratulating the youni men of South Omaha on the organization o a club. He said that such organization always benefited the community as well n the members. Harmony and harder would result In a strong organization an ono that would bo a credit to the city. Con tlnulng Mr. Mercer said thut it was alwuy a pleasure for him to be In South Oninhi Ho remembered when South Omaha wo nothing but prairie grass with a stray cohere hero and there. Now there were so man cows nnd steers that It was difficult r times to control them. Mention was mud of the new postolllco nulldlng which tl : speaker considered a monument to blmscl While on this subject ho told ot the 01 position to the bill authorizing the erectlo ot a federal building heie and how by hai work ho had succeeded In getting the mcai uro through congress. South Omaha shoul consider herself especially favored , as full ' 200 cities In the United States were c'lamoi lug now for postolllco buildings and cou not get them. The style of the structu : was described an old colonial and when con plcted It would be an oiuament to the clt "I will be surprised ' said Mr. Merce If after what I have done for South Omal and will do again , If I do not receive 5 majority here. " This remark was greet with cheers and a voice In the audlen called out : "Make It 5,000 , Dave , we a with you. " A history of the recent war was brlel sketched by itho speaker and he told of t' Immense amount of work done by Preside McKlnley In preparing for the cncounti The older countries , bald Mr. Mercer , vrbc largo standing armies are kept had an Id that the people of the United States car too much for peace and .would not llgl Even little Spain got that notion Into Ii heal , but It had been knocked out. Wit In thrio months after the declaration war Piesldent McKlnley hod , the bpi-al < said , organl/ed the most magnificent nil the sun had ever shone on ami the na which had been the laughing stock of ok countries became the terror of the seas. The republican party In Nebraska is gro Ing stronger every day , said the coiigrci man , lecrults are coming In nil of the tin "In this campaign , " continued Mr. Merc "I appear before the \oteis of the Seco congressional district and stand on the nerd ord I have made In congress. I had I pleasure today ot establishing the th branch postofflce In Omaha and a free in delivery system will be placed in eft within a short time. If the good pee of South Omaha can think of anything tl want , why Just lot mo know and I will i it for them. " In closing his remarks 1 Mercer spoke of the necessity for seeing tl every republican was registered prior election day. Much ot this work wo naturally fall upon the members ot Young Men's Republican club und they w urged not to overlook this re3ponsiblli Mr. Mercer announced that he expected be In South Omaha often between this tl and election day as he Intended to gel qualnted with every voter In the city. B Kay W. Hunt , a member of the execut n committee of the cjub , , spoke briefly on. objepj.sof ( the organization. He said club was yet In Its lnfancy , and that devolved upon each member to do a cert , portion of the work. Factions would bp toferatcd and only the best men In part'y would be recommended for ofl In closing his remarks Mr. Hunt said t the club would work hard for the succ of the republican party this fall. Henry Murphy , another member of the oxecul committee , spoke In a similar strain , refidrk's of both of , these young men be Svlli received. President Moselpy "then called u Thomas W. Blackburn of Omaha for a words. Mr. Blackburn had accompar Mr. Mercer to the city and had not Inten to make a speech. Ho was glad to ki that the young men had decided to b themselves together for the benefit of party and ho could see no reason why club shoud ) not be a success from the st Mr. Blackburn spoke of the difficulty Inducing people to attend political meet ! at this time. The exposition dctiacts so what from such affairs , but the prlnc reason was that everyone was now eraplc and very little time was left for loa to about street corners and cussing the f eminent. The coming campaign would more ot the nature of neighborly vl ; Every member of the club was urgec see his neighbor and talk to him about principles of the republican party. Blackburn closed by speaking of the B an ticket , which ho considered capccl is strong , and as for returning Mr. Merce ; s.n . congress he thought there was no di n , about that. be James H.
