THE OMAHA DAILY KBB : TIIV1WDAY , 23 , 1800. lather Nugent Calls Ono the Inspiration of the Other. MAKES THE POOR MAN'S ' HOME A PALACE ChrlNtlnnlty Infnac the Ulenfent of Perpetuity Iriln Our Infltltn * tloiin Hint \Vtix InrMii In A no I rut Cot eminent * . In vlow of the swirling storm and the tem porary suspension o [ street railway trans portation JiiRt before S o'clock , the nutllcnce that assembled nt Crelghton hall last night to hear Ilev. Father Nugent of Des Molnes give his lecture on "Tho Philosophy of Civilization , " was a doslded compliment to the speaker. Every Beat In the liall was oc cupied and qulto a number stood through the evening whllo the lecture was liberally punctuated with hearty npplatise. The choir of St. I'ctcr's church sang "The Star Span gled Manner" by way of preface and then Father Nugent was Introduced by T. J. .Mahoney. Father Nugent Fpoko easily anil rapidly and while he attempted no lofty flights of rhetoric the lecture abounded In original epigrams and pertinent Illustra tions that emphasized his principal conten tions. In beginning Father Nugent assumed that the world enjoys a better civilization now than at any previous tlmo In Its history. It U better because It given the best answers to the great problems that have vexed the world from the beginning. Hut the ques tion of the elements of happiness Is no nearer being settled now than It was before. The Idea Is general that wealth and educa tion arc the two things most essential to i happiness and the world find3 It dlincult to work the problem out on any other line. The speaker contended , however , that lift- Is an equation In which happiness Is the unknown quantity. When wo add equal values to each side of an equation Its value Is not changed. So whllo we pile up the pleasures that wealth and education bring on one stdo the miseries that spring from the same sources accumulate on the other. The world of today Is highly educated and wealthy. Hut the mobilization of a fleet of war ships would have more effect on the stock market than n six week's peace con gress In the city of brotherly love. Continuing , Father Nugent contended that most of the material changes wo see about us arc duo to the Influence of Inventive gonlus. U had been truly said that when Augustus Caesar held the scepter of the world ho did not have n window light In his house or n shirt to his back. The result of the Inventions of the last few hundred years was especially marked In the Improved style of living the poorer classes are now able to afford. The Inven tion of window lights did much to convert the hovel Into a palace and the most gor geous baronial hall In England In the days of Elizabeth would not compare In point of comfort and convenience with a modern livery stable. The magnificence of Rome was portrayed in some detail and then the speaker called attention to the fact tdat In spite of UK ma terial and Intellectual greatness not one of Its Inhabitants had ever seen a piano or a sewing machine , a railroad train or a win dow light , a postage stamp or an envelope.

With all the wealth and genius of Home Its statesmen could not lay the foundation of an enduring civiliza tion. l.acUril Iltomrnt * of Perpetuity. The rcflton was that tlielr civilization was purely Intellectual and lacked the element of perpetuity Infused Into the Institutions of today. Ancient civilization worked through grent centers which contained nil that was good and all that was bad In the age. No city could exist whose people were drawn together by selfishness and held to- grther by force , and no government can en- duie today whoso people arc controlled by coercion. The life of these cltlM was like that of waves. They had motion without progression. They governed from the stand point of the masses nnd did not consider the Individual. We have reversed this pro cess and made the rights of the Individual the basis of our government. This leads U3 to believe that If any government deprives the Individual of his rights It Is right to destroy that government , peacably If wo can and forcibly If we must. In conclusion Father Xugent emphasized the Influence of Christianity on the progress of civilization. 1'aganlsm wns a veil that hlil men's rights from each other , but Christ lifted the veil and let us comprehend our duty to our fellow men. Hut perfection Is not to be expected In civilization any more than In the Individual. We must nlwaya have corruption In high places , for It Is In human nature and must come to the sur face. Dut the people always hod their ap peal to the jiflnclplea laid down by the Ju- dean teactier and these would In the end prevail. Dr. Hull's Cough Syrup works wonders for an asthmatic sufferer.

The Southwest Improvement club held Its regular meeting at the club rooms on Twenty-fourth and Loavcn worth streets Weduesday night nt S o'clock. The ques tion of a viaduct over Twenty-fourth street was the principal subject of discussion. A committee had been appointed at the last regular meeting to call upon the mayor nnd see what he proposed to do with refer ence to the ordinance recently passed by the city council ordering Twenty-fourth street opened to the public. For some time the street has been completely blocked to traffic , owing to the fact that the railroad companies have constructed wire fences along tholr right of way. The committee reported that It had In terviewed the mayor and that Its re ception had been most cordial. It spoke very encouragingly of the prospect for opening up Twenty-fourth street. The subject of a viaduct over Twenty- fourth street opened up a general discus sion. The opinions of the different mem bers of the club were thoroughly aired. There was little difference In their opin ions , however. All believed that section of the city had a right to demand that the viaduct bo built. From Twentieth street west to Thirtieth street there Is no opening through to South Omaha. It seemed to bo the unanimous opinion that the viaduct could be Pecured If the club kept everlast ingly at It nnd there was no dissent when It was proposed that It continue to de mand Its rights in the matter. A motion that a committee be appointed to see the superintendent of the gas works with the reference to the lighting of Mason street from Twenty.rsecond to Twenty-fifth was carried without dissent nnd M. J. Fee- nan , D. W. Shell , Fred Smith and C. W. Haller were named. The question of the municipal ownership of the water works was discussed at length. It was the opinion of the club that some one well Informed on the subject should be Invited to address the club at Its next regular meeting on this subject. On motion of E. W. Morlarty , John Jeffccat was Invited to attend the meeting of March 8 and address the club on this question. E. W. Morlarty was of the opinion that the city council had not been entirely fair In Its treatment of the public In the matter of the amendments to the present city charter and said that he feared that the present republican council was trying to pass a charter that would enable It to hold over Into the year 1900 long enough to give the water works company a franchise for from ten to twenty eynrs In spite of the sentiment of a majority of the taxpayers that the city ought to own the water works , electric light plant and kindred franchises. After animated discussion It was decided that a meeting would be called for next Wednesday night when Mr. Morlarty prom ised to produce the charter as it was pro posed to amend It and allow a full discus sion of the merits of the different amend ments.

The students of the Nebraska School for the Deaf will remember the 166th anni versary of Washington's birthday for a long time , as It was n veritable holiday , brightened by exercises they could par ticipate In , understand and appreciate. The wind whistled around the buildings and the snow blow across the grounds , but the students were oblivious to the storm be cause they wcro entertaining their friends and were enjoying the day. Many went out from the city and spent the day at the In stitute , the guests being principally those who have children at the school , or look upon It ns their home , nearly all having attended It nt some time. Several state oillfcrs were expected , but the storm kept away all except Senator Spohn of Nuckolls and Representative Morrison of Thayer county. These gentlemen passed n very pleasant day In Inspecting the premises and In watching the exercises. Class room exercises occupied the stu dents and their guests from S:30 : to 10:30 : o'clock. Then thay visited and followed the behest of the program "do what you please while you please to do well , " until 12:30 : o'clock , when a good holiday dinner was served. A stcrcoptlcon exhibition occupied them from 3 to 4 o'clock In the afternoon. Each of the signs being made by the pic ture was explained by one of the teacher's hands and In the light of the machine. The remainder of the afternoon was spent with games , In which all joined. A reception was given In the evening , General and Lady Washington and suite leading the grand march which followed. General Washington was represented by L. Hunt and Marthn Washington by Miss Ed- mlston. The suite was represented by the following students : Maud Jenkins by Harry Karr ; Star Marshall , August Kober- stein ; Emma Morse , Harry Myers ; Mary Smyrho , John O'Brien ; Hester Wlllman , Patrick Ucgan ; Maud Zwelfel , Lloyd Rllcy. The old , but very popular , minuet was danced by the general and his suite In a very acceptable manner. A drill , closed by musical and flag accompaniment , ended the formal part of the program. The balance was devoted to pantomimes , which would have convulsed an ordinary audience. The day ended with the Bellamy march , "Look ing Backward. " OK UMVKUSITV STUDENTS. Reception In Held nt the First I rcn- liyterlim Church. Wednesday afternoon from 2 till 4 o'clock the students of the Junior class of the Uni versity of Omaha , assisted by the women of the First 'Presbyterian ' church , enter tained their friends among the students and faculty at the parlors of the church on Sev enteenth and Dodge streets. The University ! of Omaha has a college at Bellevue and two ! nt Omaha and as a natural consequence the [ acquaintanceship among the colleges Is not extensive. Some time ago at the suggestion i of Dr. Kerr , the junior class conceived the j Idea of having a reception In this city at which the students of the different depart ments might meet and make and renew friendships. Accordingly the First Presby terian church was asked to assist In the good work and the call upon it was not made In vain. Extensive preparations had been made for some 200 guests and the committee on ar rangements was not disappointed In the attendance. During the afternoon groups of students , profusely decorated with the college colors of purple and gold , could be seen about town making their way to the church. A light luncheon had been pre pared and an Impromptu program was rendered by the students of the musical department under Prof. Jones of the Omaha conservatory. ; The committee which had charge of the affair - ! fair and the women of the First Presbyterian ] church deserve much credit for the able ! manner In which they handled the great ' number of visitors. No effort had' ' been ' spared to make the time an enjoyable one , and through the untiring efforts of those in charge it was enjoyable Indeed. j The committee from the Junior class of the university consisted of F. A. Brewster of the Omaha Medical college , J. H. Bene dict of the Omaha Dental college and W. H. I Kerr of Bellevue college. KiitertnlnliiK Mimlcnl. The annual birthday festival of C. A.

The recently organized George Washing ton club gave a banquet and ball at the new Exchange building at the Union Stock yards lost night. It eclipsed alt former so cial , functlon-a nnd proved to be 'the most enjoyable affair of the kind ever given In the city. This now club , which will effect a permanent organization within a few days , Is now composed of the following members : W. H. Wood , M. II. Murphy , W. n. Wall- work , C. W. McVlckers , W. J. C. Kenyon , V. E. Sanders. P. T. McGrath , Joseph J. Murphy , W. H. Dudley , James 0. Martin , H. E. Tngg , Charles II. Hone , G. Ingwerson , Walter E. Wood , E. A. Troutman and Colonel James B. Paxton. The members were divided Into different committees and all performed their parts well , as nothing was left undone to secure the comfort and entertainment of the guests. As has been announced before the decora tions proved to bo one of the principal fea tures ot the entertainment. There was a lavish display of potted and cut flowcra. Each corner of the largo dining room was banked to the celling with palms and other tropical plants. In a little nook In the great room was a bower ot smllax , where punch and lemonade were served during the entire evening. The corner which was mostly ad mired was the one containing American Beauty roses , each rose having a stem nine feet In length. A stretch of canvas twelve feet In width was laid around three sides of the ball room for a promenade , the dancing floor being separated from the promenade by a wall of palms. An orchestra of twelve pieces was concealed behind a great bank of cut flow ers and ! palms , while on the wall above was a largo portrait of the "Father of Our Country , " surrounded by a frame of fresh Mowers. American flags were draped on each side ot this portrait , while the mono gram of the club was worked out In ( low ers above. The banquet came first and fully 300 people ple sat down to discourse one of the finest menus ever served In the city. At the conclusion of the feasting , the guests of the club repaired to the rotunda ot the building , where they were entertained with music while the tables were being removed and the room prepared for dancing. W. E. Chambers of Omaha acted as master of ceremonies when the dancing commenced. 1 Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wood of Omaha led j the grand inarch , which was quite complicated - | plicated , a number of fancy figures being Introduced. Both the menu and dancing cards were models of the engraver's art. Carriages were called for 1:30 : o'clock this morning and when the guests departed they con gratulated the members ot the club on the excellent entertainment. IXAUGUIIATE PAXCYSTOCK IIunilrtMlN of Anlninl.i ( o lie Offered fit Auction \ > xt Month. A series of sales of fancy stock will be held at the Union stock yards , commencing on March 9 , when J. Evans , Jr. , & Son of Emerson , la. , will offer for sale 125 head of Aberdeen-Angus cattle. Catalogues have been sent out by Messrs. Evans announcing this sale and giving the pedigree of every animal offered for sale. Next In order will borne the sale of Fuller Gray & Rex of Schuyler , Neb. , on March 24. This firm will offer 120 head of Aberdeen-Angus cattle. On March 28 0. E. Ward of Hawarclen , la. , will put up at auction between fifty and sixty head of Shorthorns , nnd on ( be day follow ing Charles Escher & Son of Botna , la. , pro pose offering seeventy head of Aberdeen- Angus cattle. The first sale of any note In April will be that of G. T. Haggard of Western , Neb. , who has a heard of thirty Shorthorns which are to bo sold to the highest bidders. On April 12 Thomas Andrews & Son of Cambridge , Neb. , will offer for sale forty-five Short horns and one- car of horses. T. R. Wcstrope & Sea of Harlan , In. , will come a day later with sixty-five Shorthorns. After these the sales will be numerous and a number of va rieties of stock will be offered for sale. The tdea of holding public auctions of fine stock lere was conceived by General Manager Ken- yon of the stock yards company a year ago and since that time he has worked hard to nduce breeders of fine cattle to bring herds here for exhibition and sale. These sales at tract cattlemen from all over the western country who ore looking for new blood to be Introduced into their herds. Plans were drawn some time ago for a large pavilion to be used exclusively for dno stock sales , but on account of numerous other Improvements under way the stock yards company has not started to build the Intention of the management sale-houses. It Is the agement of the stock yards to erect the pa vilion as soon as practicable In the spring and thus by ottering a fine place for the dis play of cattle induce fancy breeders to come here for annual auctions. SiiltHe.rlptlnn to llonpUnl. The ways and means committee of the Hospital association has prepared a number of cubscrlptlon slips , which tave been left at well known 'business ' "places about the city. The subscribers to the list agree to take the number of shares set opposite their names at the rate of $10 per share. The fuse value of the stock subscribed for hall be paid In when the following conditions have been compiled vlth : That the South Omaha Hospital association shall Incorpo rate under the laws of the state of Ne braska and that the shares of stock to 'b < Issued shall be In the denomination of W. each and , further , 500 shares shall be fiub' scribed before tie corporation shall beglr business. It Is the Intention of the committee to se cure a subscription amounting to at least $5.000 and then address th < 5 cort-ornttons with a proposition for permanent main tenance , fnlcss a nurftclcnt sum for main tenance can bo obtained the stock subscrip tions will be void. Should the packers nnd other corporations here agree to subscribe a sufficient amount to maintain the jropoaed hospital an assessment of not more than 20 per cent on each share of stock will bo mala In order to start building operations. Other assessments will follow , but the stock can not be assessed above Its face value. One of the stock subscription lists Is lo cated nt the South Omaha office of The Bee Ir the now city hall building and those who call will be given an opportunity of sign- IPS If ttey fo desire. Free ln r t'nt the Pupil" . With another cold wave on tap the pupils at the East Albright school will doubtless have to bo dismissed again on account of lack of heat. During the last cold spell the hrmtlng plant , which Is a hot water system , was allowed to freeze up and now only three out of twelve radiators arc In working order. It Is stated that this plant will have to be given n thorough overhauling as soon as the weather Is warm enough to put our the flrci. Some stoves are now being ustd In this school and If there Is a probability of severe cold weather moro stove * will most likely have to 'bo secured. At the West Side school there Is trouble on ac count of the water mains freezing and yes terday afternoon water had to be hauled to the building In barrels In order to furnish a supply for the boilers.

The banks , city offices and schools wcro closed and the mall carriers made only one delivery , but aside from this no special attempt was made to observe the day. Tuesday night's reception at the Young Men's Christian association netted the as sociation something over $50 nnd this Is con sidered a remarkably good showing on ac count of the low price of admission. Over 300 people paid to see the cobnlal costumes and quite a sum was taken In at the booths where refreshments were sold. A flashlight photograph was .taken of those who portrayed trayed characters and the proofs of these pictures will no doubt be a pleasing remem brance of the occasion. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. E. R.
