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.

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.

AFTER ANOTHER VIADUCT
SoutlnveM Improvement C'lnli DeMlrcM
to Have One llullt nt Twenty-
Konrth Street.
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. "

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.

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.

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.

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

There was no special observance of Wash
ington's birthday in this city. 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.

In cheerful contrast to the cold and dis
mal outer world was the scene of gaiety
presented In Washington hall last evening ,
the occasion being the thirteenth annual
ball of Overland lodge. No. 123 , Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen.
The ball room was a riot of color and
light. The glare of two huge locomotive
headlights at opposite ends of the hall swept
the floor where moro than 100 couples
danced beneath a canopy of pannants , flags
and festoons. Long lines of firemen's lan-
lorns extended above the heads of dancers
from wall to wall. The globes , colored red ,
white and green , 'blended artistically with
the mural decorations and produced a biz-
zare effect.
The grand march and quadrille at 9
o'clock was led by > Mr. and Sirs. II. E. Gra
ham. From that hour until long past mid
night dancing continued with an Intermis
sion at 11 o'clock for supper. The commit
tee on arrangements was : 11. E. Graham ,
H. C. Huster , John Dalley , I. N. Wright , Ed
1'ardo , Gus Hello , C. II. Forster , Thomas
Grlllln and John Glynn.

The first grand ball given In the Interests

Endeavor society last night In the Thurston
lllflea1 armory proved on unexpected suc
cess In spite of the storm that kept many
away. The lloor was crowded with dancers
when the grand march and quadrlllo was an
nounced at 9 o'clock. The leaders were Mr.
Abraham Hablnowltz and his sister , Mies
Lena. The dancing continued until long
past midnight. The young women of the
society have supported eight destitute fam
ilies this winter with the money derived
from n series of dancing parties. The ball
was the first large affair given and was the
most successful of all.
