The grand master then declared that the cornerstone was properly laid. Itev. Dr. Trrfx'n Addroi, The exercises concluded with an eJoquent address by itev. K. F. Trefz of Kountze Me morial church, who spoke lu part us follows: "There Is groat significance In tho laying of thlB cornerstone. It Is tho beginning of a magnllicent building In which children ot tho future are to bo educated, and Is an oarnest of our desire for the perpetuation of tho republic. With public schools come safety nnd peuce, and In erecting magnlli cent buildings for educational purposes tho present ago admits Its debt to the past. In this world there Is much talk ot the selfishness of mankind, of the failure of men to repay sorvlces which have Votu rendered thorn by past generations, but this building shows that Omiilia of today appreciates the great services rendered by tho early set tlers when they erected rude school lioubcs and gavo to early Omaha tho best educa tional advantages the poor frontiersmen could afford. This building Is but an elab oration of tho educational system which thoy established on an humble but substan tial foundation. "Tho good which n building of this sort works iu n community cannot bo estimated. Peoplo who pass Buch on cdlflco cannot but be benefited by looking at It. Uvery city la Judged by Its public buildings nnd travelers who visit Omaha will think better ot tho city for Its magulliccut High school build ing. Tho fiiibtlo Influence of buildings ot architectural merit It rcmarkablo. Tho effect ot buildings upon children Is par ticularly marked, nnd creditable school buildings are wUo Investments for any community. "To day tho child Is not relegated to ob scurity and allowed to grow up without care. Christianity has given men u dif ferent view of childhood and tho little folks affection of civilized nations. Men of to day look to tho future and reallzo that they will bp held responsible for tho action ot the citizens of tomorrow. Love of coun try nnd love of family prompt every right minded citizen to build a republic In which his children and his children's children will find tho Joy and happiness tho labors ot past generations havo mado possible for us."

Subscriptions from professional men and tailors formed tho principal reports mado nt yesterday's meeting of tho auditorium di rectors. Chairmen Klgutter nnd I'artcn rath reported for tho committees which had conducted tho campaign of solicitation among exponents of Jurisprudence, medi cine and tho Bnrtorla: nr.. Tho subscrip tions from those and othor sources roportrd today amounted to 40,310, bringing tho total auditorium fund up to 17.1,003. Tbo directors follcltntrd over tho success that has attended tholr efforts this week. Tho fund hus been steadily growing nnd. Iiest of nil. tho accumulation has been lnrcoly aecompllshod through romparn lively nmall subscriptions. A number of largo subscriptions, approximating 55,000 each, aro hnnglns In the balance now nnu will bo closed within tho near future. "Wo wouldn't feel nearly ho encouraged, ' raid President Sanborn, "If tho growth of the fund this week were due to n few large subscriptions. Ou tho contrary, the In creaso haH been brought ubout by a number of cmaller ones nnd the aggregate of about $10,000 represents a large number of differ ent subscribers, This la a particularly gratifying situation, becnuso It brings In clone touch with the project many enter- prising business men whose Interests In tho success of tho auditorium will naturally bo the more pronounced becauso ot tholr personal connection with It. "As wo had expected our biggest sub scriptions uro bolng held In abeyuuec. Tho men who naturally would bo expected to BubBcrlbo JD.OOO for nuch ntt enterprlso nro waiting to rco how stable is tho foundation, and, upon tholr conviction that tho prelim inary efforts Justify tho conclusion that BUbsrquont operations will bo equally ns well managed, they will gladly lend their financial support to tho project. Every where thero Is a Browing nentlment In favor of tho auditorium. Lingering doubts In tho substantiality of tho enterprise havo been grudually dissipated until now It Is seldom that wo encounter a man who give!" expression to tho least skepticism In our ultimate success. Xai S u rh Word nx I'nil. "Thero is no auch word ns tall In tho lex icon of the auditorium directory. Wo nro a bit disappointed that wo will not bo able to reach tho f 100,000 mark this week, but lu vlow of the fact that several of tho lurge subscriptions upon which wo wero depend ing havo not yrt materialized, we fool that tho showing mado Is a most satisfactory eno. Tho directors will devoto their eutlro time to u determined effort to get In ns many subscriptions an poswblo between now nnd toiroirnw noon nnd wo expect tho fund of JTD.UO.'i to bo materially Increased by that time. "A glance nt tho subscription list hows that thero nro very fow Biibserlptlons In ex cess of $1,000. Thero aro a uumbor of Im portant Interests, cuch as tho rallioads and packors, that are not yet represented.

These, with tho subscriptions that will miroly come from the Important lntorests not yet represented, will cause the fund to Increase to mspitficent proportions before the end of unothor month." Chairman Fred Paffenrath of tho com mlttco on inlscullnnoous revenue Hinted that tho publication In The Iieo of tho audi torium brick proposition has mot with an upprovnl moro hearty than had been an ticipated. "I havo becu besieged with Jotters and personal requests from parties who want to purchase bricks bear ing certain numbers. It Is probablo that ocry number from 1 to 20,000 will appeal to Homebody with especial force und tho avcrago return from the bricks will, to my mind, pass considerably boynnd the face value of tho stock represented by each of theso nttrnctlvo Houvenlrs, $1. Any Omaha man or vlaltor to thin city who gctB away without having u brick on his person, otter wo get them hero, will truly be an object worthy of epeclnl nttentlon. "Thero Isirt going to bo any objection from tho police, cither, from this genoral carrying of bricks. Every man, woman and child cun feel perfectly Bafo In Investing In a buck without fear of moleHtatlon for carrying concealed weapons, Tho bricks will be a mighty popular thing In Omaha nnd 1 predict that tho addition to tho fund from tho rovenuo derived from tholr salo will bo far boyond any one's present exportation " Sleiiiurr linn Siilullnnx Alionril, KINGSTON, .Jamaica, Nov 16.
