True blue Presbyterianism disported itself
at Wentminster church last evening when
the man of the church and the congrega
tion sat down to their neroud annual din
ner. Covers were laid for seventy-five and
there wore no vacant places when , at 7
o'clock , after a half hour of informal chat ,
the word wae passed around that the viands
were In readiness to be attacked. The din
ner was nerved by the women of the church
f
in the lecture room. On the walls were
draped two large American flaps , while the
tables ivt-re tastefully adorned with silver
candlesticks bearing wax candles and beau
tiful rose-colored shades that cast a sub
dued glow over all. A large chandeljer
hanging Irom the centei of the celling was
decorated In the same exquisite tame , all
being the work of the deft fingers of the
women , who wej-e prosrnt to direct the
corps of attractive young women who of
ficiated in the capacity of waitresses. The

Westminster church during one of the va
cations of Dr. Gordon , a former pastor. He
complimented the church on the advance n
had made in all lines of work and delivered
a fine peroration descriptive of the differ
ence in methods of work now uiid a quartei
of a century apo. combating the charge BO
frequently heard that the church is becom-
inp secularized by the claim that it is
reaching out into the world for men Instead
of waiting for men to come to it.
Alderman P. F. Birkhauser , one of the
pioneer members of the church , responded
to the toast , "The Outlook. " In his esti
mation the outlook is very encouraging from
all points of view and .not less in church
work than along other lines. He had
watched the growth rf Westminster from
it * , origin to the present time and found
cutise for prent thankfulness. That the men
were with him in spirit was evidenced by
the hearty applause with which his remarks
were interlarded.

the fore in all church work , who furnished
excellent material for an elder and for a

snouted , "Krelder , " "Kreider , " and the
genial private f-ecrtitary of Mr. Cudaliy was
forced to rise and face tlie audience. His
modesty , however , prevented his saying
more than that he denied the toastmaRter'K
allegations. He sat down amid a round of
hearty applause.
Several oiliors were called on and made
impromptu speeches and after a vote of
thanks in the women for their bounteous en-
tertalument tind the benediction by the
pastor the gathering broke up. The program -

The news from Washington that Senator
Thurston had decided to recommend the ap
pointment for postmaster of a man who i
assisted in his election is taken to be a j
confirmation of the reported choice 01" Joseph
Crow for that position. - Mr. Crow is the
only applicant who assisted in the election
of Senator Thurston , and for some time he
has given it out that he had a practical as
surance of the appointment. It is also under
stood thai whatever doubts might have ex
isted , the action of Senator Crow in making
himself the first of the Douglas delegation
to break away to Hay ward in the senatorial
caucus was hahud on an agreement that he
Bbnuld have the endorsement of Senator
Hayward as wll as of Senator Thurnton for
the place
AB under the state constllutlon the ac
ceptance of a federal office operates to va
cate a seat in the legislature , the impression
Iiremili. . that tlthougb the appointment may
bo made within a few days , Senator Crow
will not qualify as postmaster until he has
completed hie service as a member of the
legislature. In all probability , therefore , ,
Postmaster Crow will take possession as j
successor to Postmaster Martin about
April 1.

\ SOUTH mm NEWS. I
Superintendent F. E. Button of the local
Electric Light company stated yesterday
that his company was about to Introduce In
candescent arc lights here. These lights ,
j Mr. Button sayb. are very desirable for
stores and business places for the reason
that the carbon will burn 300 hours with
out replenishing. In explaining the new
light Superintendent Button said that the
incandescent or enclosed arc Is connected
directly across incandescent circuits. The
arc is enclosed in a small glass bulb and
will burn steadily for ten nights , with trim-
ming. while the ordinary arc lights musl
be trimmed after burning ten hours , or one
night. This long life cf the carbon is due
to the partial vacuum formed in the bulb
enclosing the arc. Before this principle was.
applied to arc lights it was impossible to
.burn . them on alternating circuits with any
degree of satisfaction , owing to the loud
humming of the arc. which was not unlike
n high pitched musical note. Thifi bumming -
ming IB caused i > y the rapid reversals of
the current. Thwe reversals from positive
to negative and from negative to positive
are peculiar to alternating systems and run
as high as 1C.OOO reversals per minute on
ordinary lighting circuits.
The enclosing bulb in the Incandescent arc
light , while permitting the reversals pre
vents the air from coming into contact with
the arc , making it impciBBible for any Bound
waves to be set in motion , thereby render
ing art lighting entirely practicable on
these circultfc.

Even though no vor > lively interest np-
I > ears to be. taken in politics at the present ,
time political booms are ibeing punctured
every day and aspirants are retiring in
disappointment. One young Tnan who will
be called Smith because that is not his '
name conceived the idea that he would
make a first-class councilman and he cart- |
fully broached the subject to a few of his j
near friends. The idea took root and on !
account of his inexperience Smith decided
to speak to fcevenJ old nnliUcianfc about his
candidacy with the expectation that they
would give him some advice about running
u campaign.
Smith first tailed on an old wheel horse
who has been a candiuute oftener than he
has lingers and toes. Pointers wore asked
for , but the wheel hi.rae replied without ,
;
any hesitancy tlmt he vas looking , for that '
very othuc himself ni advised Smith to '
keep out of politics. The result of thin in- ,
tervlew rather fuunmu. Smith , but he de- ! i
elded to go to another politician -who hafl j i
always ibeen hit friehu Again the ntory 1
was told und advice Uhked for. In reply
the second friend inff ied Smith that be
was at that ery moment engaged in hust
ling enough money to inuke the rare for the
office mentioned. "Wh it hi spirits were '
dampened to a great t-itent Smith was not '
cmtindy discouraged cm' ' he nought out still '

ANOTHER COLD WAVE COMING

It IE another case of heavy overcoat * aud
rubbers , for the brief interval of pleasant
weather that Omaha people have enj < > t"d
during the last day or two IB altogether
too prettjto last. About the time things
get to coming the right way the -wentbrr
bureau goes out on a still hunt and rustics
up something a little more disagreeable than
the last. So the norther flag has goneup
nnuin and it is promised that the wind
will cuine rwoeping down from tlip
north laden -with ; now and a sufficient o < -
gree of cold to send a continual procession
of shivers wcurrying up and down the spinal
columns of the disgusted inhabitants.
Yesterday's weather map looked as though
a January number had been priinsi
gated by mistake. It showed a temperature
of 10 degrees below zero at Calgary , a fall
of 24 degrees at Salt Lake and decided drojm
all over the mountain region. There was
Enow through the upper valleys , and u sia-
ilar condition was general over the west and
northwest. Down in the southwest c low
barometer hung ominously and prepared to
drive the Etorm across the prairies toward
the river. Seldom have the general cond- ,
tions seemed more threatening than whet ,
the morning reports were received and there
is no apparent hope of anything bui thu
most disagreeable brand of weather for Sun
day coneumption.
