The Impressive ordination service of the
Presbyterian church waa observed last
evening, when the preabytery of the
city of Omaha assisted In the Installation
and formal ordination of Walter S. Rey
Holds an the new pastor of the' Caatellar
Btreet Presbyterian church. The services
were very largely attended by members of
the churoh;
Seated upon the rostrum were the pas
tors of the churches or that denomination
In this city. Rev. Daniel Grleder of the
First Qorman Presbyterian church preside
as moderator and opened the installing
exercises with an Invocation. Rev. A. 8.
. C. Clarke of the Lowe Avenue church
read the scriptures, after which Rev. Rob.
art Tj. Wheeler, D. D.,' pastor of the South
Omaha Tresbyterian church, preached the
Installation sermon.
'He took for his subject "The Beginning
and Ending of Right Character," and for
his text Hebrew 11:25. He pointed out
the fact that true and righteous living
re characterized and remiltant from three
facts, choosing, striving and enduring In the
Christian religion. The true beginning of
right character Is the right choice. There
Is a transitory pleasure In sin, but Its
end Is destructive. In these days It Is too
easy, he admonished bla congregation, to
forget and find that we are worshiping In
a lavender water religion, and that our
Christianity Is but . Imaginary. No Amer
ican born will deny that there Is a Christ,
he said, though the masses of the Amerl
cans say there la a God. but his laws
won't apply In their everyday business Ufa
and cares. In life's Waterloos Ood sus
tains us by Invisible things.
Charge to the Pastor.
In the absence of Rev. Matthew B. Low
rle the Installation prayer waa offered by
the moderator, who a'sto conducted the ex
amination of the candidate and received the
sanction of the people whom be is to sprve.
The charge of the congregation was de
livered by Rev. Clarence G. Reynolds, pas
tor of the First church of Jollet, 111., who
bade the newly installed pastor a hearty
godspeed. He Informed him that he had
not entered the ministry, but had been born
Into It. He bespoke the consecration of
the new pastor's whole strength to the
service and admonished him to practice
whBt he preached and to live the word at
all times, to be a man of prayer and con
scious of Christian strength. Above all
else be asked that he preach the word and
not worry bis people with higher criticisms.
ine pulpit for the people proclaims the
true doctrines of Christ's words. Perfect
faith means the preaching of the atone
ment. A houae-golng pastor means a
church-going people. He was to make his
church one family In Christ.
, Char to the People.
The charge to the people was delivered
"ty Rt Edwin H. Jenks, D. D., of the First
Church, who urged the members of the
church to stand strongly and firmly by their
new pastor. He admonished them to re
member that the church Is a unity. He
also urged the congregation to pay their
pastor well and not forget that the mints
ters of today al too many, are much under
I paid. ;SnrnMi4,'hha- wilA your love' and
' help him In bl battle by coming to church.
There Is toothing so discouraging as empty
pews and the absence of familiar faces."
After the benediction by Rev. Walter
Reynolds a short reception was held at the
close of the services, that all who were
present might meet and greet the newly In
stalled pastor.
Mr. Reynolds came to Castellar church
last September, since when he haa served
that people. He Is a graduate of Wooster
university and the McCormlck Theological
somlnary. His early ministerial training
was received while acting as assistant
pastor of the Third Presbyterian church In
Chicago. Rev. Reynolds will reside with
his family at 2615 South Fifteenth street.

The triumDh which was accorded tn Mlsa
Mary Munchoff at the Boyd ' last night,
when she appeared In her first home con
cert after many years of foreign study,
was a triumph of which she Is assuredly
' proud, and the memory of which will last
until she has sung her last aong on this
sphere, which heaven grant may be very
many years distant.
It was a coronation! The crown of lov
ing sympathy woven with sterling appre
ciation and golden approbation was placed,
not on the brow, but on the heart of the
singer who came back to her own people
and who was by them received right roy
ally, and while acclamation poured forth
the oil of comfort she was hailed and
anointed and crowned as an artist and as
an example of success through earnest
work.
I Miss Munchoff haa worked Incessantly,
! intelligently and bravely, patiently search
ing for the true art path and walking In it
uncompromisingly.
She has not hurried. She has succeeded,
and Omaha Is proud of her achievement.
She Is an example for all students to
look to, and her work last night will have
Its effect In many an Omaha studio for
the next few months, students will be en
thused and teachers will find their work
more earnestly absorbed.
Miss Munchoff haa been somewhat unfor
tunate, since her arrival In this country,
In having a press agent (whoever he' may
be) whose Idea seems to be that she should
be "clrcussed," to use an advertising
phrase. It Is not necessary to boom her
as "America's greatest soprano," nor Is It
( prudent to advie the public that she Is a
second Patti, or the superior of Mclba or
. Bombrlch, that she taught German v whnt
coloratura singing Is, etc
Such statements are Intrinsically and
historically Incorrect and are absolutely
unnecessary. She Is the "first Mary
Munchoff," artist and her place Is hers and
no one, else's; it Is an enviable place,
which she herself has made, and it can
stand on Its own merits absolutely.
Critics have differed and will differ as
to Miss Munchoffs classification, most of
them considering her a pure example of
colorature singing, of which Emma Nevada
Is a splendid type, and of which many
discerning ones consider Mme. Nevada the
absolute-monarch. . ..' y;
After hearing Mary Munchoff last night,
in various kinds of work the impression
grew upon the musical critic of The Bee
that Miss Munchoff is notably a "lleder"
singer, an adept at the difficult and oft
attempted field the classic song.
A critic Is not entitled to any considera
tion If he does not support his opinion by
evidence, and therefore It devolves upon
the present writer to state that in defense
of his position he notices in Miss Munchoff
a fascinating power of Interpretation, a
wonderful command of the beautiful and
elusive "mezsa voce" and a wealth of tone
color, In the lower registers especially.
Bhe has also that gift of expressing by
her countenance, sincerely and without
mannerism, the meaning and sentiment of
what she sings.
In fact. It is In her colorature work that
any mannerism Is noted unworthy of such
an artist, namely a tendency to terminate
a cadence by closing the mouth suddenly,
and an Inclination to close the eyes In
ecurlng certain pianissimo. These are
trifles, but Miss Munchoff Is a great artist
and as such she cannot afford to do any.
thing Inelegant.
In colorature work, roulades, trills and
"shakes" the artist showed a magnificently
trained organ, and the months and months
and years of careful, conscientious study
and practice bore fruit last night. Her
trill is like the rippling tone of a rare
bird of song, and In her "Nachtlgall"
song she literally and actually was a
glorious "nightingale." Her runs and
arpeggios were not always as "clean" as
one might look for, but yet hex work was
always dainty. Flexibility, she has, flor.
Idlty, she has, It must be admitted, but
nevertheless, while not criticising her s
a colorature singer, the thought impresses
Itself that she Is primarily a heart-singer
and she sends her tones right bom.
Mr. Joseph Gahm played two numbers
and responded to generous encores; par
ticularly enjoyable were the compositions
of his own. His "Lullaby," sung by Mlsa
Munchoff (to whom it Is dedicated), was
vociferously applauded and repeated, after
being beautifully and poetically sung. Mr.
Oahm also played most artistic accompani
ments and some of them were very din
cult. Mr. Pedersen played a most effective Bute

THE OMAHA DAILY
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Power Canal Ordinaries u Amended bj
Haicail ii Passed.
FIVE VQTE IN FAVOR OF THE CHANGES
Meaat Moves Tea Anaeadaaeats Dr
slaaerl to Render Franchise t ae
leaa to the Promoter aad
They Are Adopted.
By a vote of 5 to J, Haarall, Hoye, Mount,
Whlteborn and Karr voting together and
Burkley being absent, the city council re
fused to pass the Rosewater franchise ordi
nance without amending it In a manner
which is said by Mr. Rosewater to be ab
solutely subversive of the ends which he
seeks to accomplish In the construction of
a water power electrical plant for Omaha.
The question did not come up until a
greater part of the business of the evening
had been disposed of and then upon mo
tion of Mr. Hascall the ordinance was
brought up, and Mr. Mount moved ten
amendments, nine of them Inserting in the
various sections of the ordinance as pre
viously published after the words "Andrew
Rosewater, his successors or assigns," the
words "or any other person or corporation
who may accept the terms or conditions of
this ordinance, their successors or as
signs," and the other providing that the
franchise shall be forfeited If the plant is
not In active operation at the expiration of
three years from the date of the ordinance.
The amendments were seconded by Mr.
Hascall.
As soon as they were offered Councilman
Zlmman moved that the ordinance be re
committed to the Judiciary committee tor
further consideration, so the councllmen
could give the proposed amendments some
consideration. Mr. Hascall opposed the
motion.
Challenges Sincerity of Majority.
Mr. Lobeck said that If the opponents of
the Rosewater ordinance were sincere- In
their desire to have a power plant con
structed they would not oppose this ordi
nance, but would prepare another providing
for a franchise open to the first comer and
both ordinances might be submitted to the
people of the city at the same election, per
mitting the voters to select the one which
they may desire. After Mr. Trostler had
advised the council to defeat the ordinance
In toto rather than attempt to kill It by
amendments, a vote was taken and the
amendments adopted by the vote given
above.
Mr. Hascall then moved that the ordi
nance as amended be ordered engrossed and
that the city clerk be Instructed to pub
lish the ordinance as engrossed for two
weeks as required by law. Mr. Zlmman a
an amendment offered a concurrent resolu
tion providing for the same course. The
amendment was lost and the Hascall mo
tion carried by the same vote, with the ex
ception of Howe, who voted In the affirma
tive on both the motion and the amend
ment. Charge of Connlvaaee.
An unusual thing occurred when the clerk
reported the result of advertisement for
propoaals for the purchase of strips of
ground on either side of Twelfth street
north of Nicholas street, the bids received
being from Adams Kelly, $150; C. B. Den
ney, agent, $208, and T. F. Bwift, 3305. As
soon as the report was read' Mr. Hascall
moved that the matter be referred to the
building and property committee, saying
that the property could not be sold to any
one but the owner of the abutting prop
erty unless an easement , is, given that
owner. Mr.. Lobeck said tha. he had been
informed by Mr. Kelly of tho firm of Adams
ft Kelly that one of the other bidders had
called the firm up by telephone and told
It that Its bid was lower than another and
that the successful bidder would withdraw
for a consideration. The highest bidder
was T. F. Swift, who was in the hall, and
as soon as Mr. Lobeck had made his state
ment Mr. Swift was on his feet.
"I have heard that statement before," he
said, "and have heard my name connected
with it and I desire to say that It Is ab
solutely false so far as I am concerned, as
I have made no such representations."
The matter was referred. Later in the
evening a communication was received from
Adams ft Kelly asking that Twelfth street
north of Nicholas be made fifty-two feet
wide Instead of 100 feet, as at present, and
offering $900 for the strips taken from the
width of the street The company said that
plans are already prepared for the con
struction of a new factory building at that
place and the additional ground Is needed
to carry out the project, the price offered
the city being the same as that paid for
similar ground recently.
For Charter Amendment.
A communication was received from the
mayor asking the council to take steps to
secure the co-operation of the Douglas
county delegation In the Nebraska legisla
ture for certain amendments to the city
charter whereby some of the Important
funds of the city may be Increased to the
Improvement of the service. The matter
was referred to the president of the coun
cil, with power to act for the body.
The ordinance providing tor the creation
of street Improvement district No. 810 was
passed and because of the failure of the
owners of the abutting property to desig
nate the character of the paving in that
district, the ordinance provides that Dodge
street from the east side of Twenty
seventh avenue to the weat side of Twenty
ninth avenue shall be paved with sheet
asphaltum and curbed with combination
curbs and guttering.
Resolutions were passed providing for
the payment to George R. Crandall, J. p.
Connolly and John F. Dalley, sewer con
tractors, money retained in the guaranty
fund until the work had been found satis
factory. This money, together with money
due on the partial estimate of C. D. Wood
worth, will be paid as soon as funds are
available.
Lla-ht Dills Ordered Paid.
The same action was taken on certain
bills of the Omaha Gas company and the
Globe Light and Heating coming for the
months of September and October, which
had been held out of former appropriation
sheets, but this action was not taken until
after the comptroller had reported that he
had Investigated the matter and recom
mended the payment. The payment was or
dered over the protest of Mr. Zlmman.
Upon the recommendation of the finance
ccmmlttee $2M was placed at the disposal
of the city engineer from the general fund.
The regular appropriation ordinance was
passed. Hoye, Whitehorn and Zlmman vot
ing in the negative.
Councilman Burkley was exeused from
attending the meeting.

Balary warrants tor the teacher In the
public schools were Issued yesterday aft
ernoon, the schools closing for the usual
holiday vacation. Something unusual was
witnessed at the high school build. n when
the teachers emerged from the office of the
secretary, where the warrants for De
cember were given out. Several Investors
were on hand with cash In their clothes for
the purpose of cashing the teachers' war
rants, naturally at a discount. Quite a
number of the teachers sold their warrants
to the money lenders who hovered outside,
but some walked straight to the city treas
urer's omce, where they were given face
Value for their paper.
It Is a well known fact that the school
fund are exhausted, and that all warrants
draw Interest at the rate of T per cent
Hence the rush for securities of this kind.
Some of the members of the Board of
Education are not In favor of the action
taken by warrant brokers yesterday, and 1
atop will doubtless be put to the praotlce j
or permitting money lenders from fre
quenting the high school grounds on teach
ers' pay day.
The teachers who cashed their warrants
at the city treasurer's offlc were not
charged any discount, as there wss enough
money on hand to pay off the few who
called.
Now the school district fund Is entirely
exhausted and from this time on it will
be necessary for the people to pay a high
rate, of Interest for all salaries and ex
penses contracted by the Board of Educa
tion. That there will be another big over
lap In the high school funds Is evident to
anyone who haa looked Into the affairs of
the board.

Some frozen stock held over Is being sold
at rates less than those mentioned. Hotel .
keepers and proprietor of restaurant are 1
wondering what to do for Chrlstma. With
turkey at 25 cent a pound they say that

Heavy Chrlstma Malla.
On account of the heavy malls Postmas
ter Etter has been compelled to put on ad
ditional help. This additional help, how
ever, Is allowed by the postal department
during the holiday season without a spe
cial requisition, as It Is customary. All of
the carrier going out from the. central
postofflce are loaded down these days, and
In many Instances It Is hard work to com
plete the delivery In the time allowed, as
two trips over one route are frequently
necessary on account of the weight to be
carried. With all the extra mail to be
carried few complaints are being made and
the service here Is considered excellent.

said that he meant exactly what be said,
and he again stated that the money was
