Of the two "bosses," Horrlgan, who
bosses a party, and Phelan, who bosses a
ward, much might be said. Horrlgan la an
Impossibility In American politics. Mr.
Hendricks glvea him the appearance of a
freight conductor of the old school, and
the manners of a Mississippi river steam
boat mat dealing with a lot of roust
about. Coarse and brutal In every re
gard. It I hardly probable that even In tho
most corrupt of municipalities such a char
acter could rlae to any Important position.
Power cannot be gained by such a man,
much loss held. Phelan, on the other hand,
Is a type that abounds; b makes friends
by doing something for them, and holds
tb.ru by only asking their votes. People
vote for such a man from gratitude rather
than from fear, and. he know It. Jn thl
play Charles .Walnwriafht is the personal
representative of the Money' Devil, and
Mr. Armstrong make him one of the con
ventional sort. Same is true of Mr. Davis'
presentation of Olbbs, the rival In love of
tho mayor. Mr. Cain gives a fine finish to
hi part of Honry Thompson, private sec
retary to Walnwrlght, hi denunciation
and triumph being well ybrought eft Mr.
Butterfleld's Juvenile part la also well
done.
Miss Bridges has In her favor a fine
presence, and goes through with a rather
exacting role very well. . She attains her
results very naturally. Miss Brandon
make Mrs. Bennett a charming mother,
Just the sort any man might be glad to
have. The minor parts In the bill are done
In keeping with the whole, which IS good.
The play and the company were well re

With the prospect of congressional enact
ments for Increased pay for the army and
the approaching cold weather, a decided
stimulus 1 noticed In army recruiting. The
Omaha tegular army recruiting station
rank among the most thrifty recruiting
depot In the country. During the month of
October thlry enlistments were made out
of about seventy-five applications, and ' In
November twenty-eight recruit were ac
cepted out of Blxty-aeven applicant. Thus
far in December there have been twenty-
three applications for enlistment and eight
acceptances.
No diminution In the rigid physical and
moral requirements for recruits bas been
Observed and In fact they have been some
what Increased. The rejection have been
largely because of under else, defective
vision, varicose velne and flat feet, though
many have been rejected for deficient moral
qualifications.
All Branches of Servleo -
Enlistments are being made for ail
branches of the service at the Omaha sta
tion, the recruit being given the prefer
ooe ef th branch of service he desires,
Bome have been made for the Philippine
service,' with a few ro-enllstments. All of
the recruits are sent te Jefferson Barracks,
St Louis, for training and further exam
ination, although the examinations at
Omaha depot are sufficient reasonably to
warrant the acceptance of the recruit after
arrival at the Jefferson Barracks depot.
Naval enlistments are largely on the In
crease. The number enlisted at th naval
recruiting station in the federal building
during the month of November 1 largely
In excess of the corresponding month of
last year. The recruit for the naval
service are Invariably younger than for th
army service and are as a ruhj young men
of better physique than apply for ' enlist
ment In th army. The allurements of th
naval service are also greater than In the
army, affording a better opportunity for.
teeing the world and young men are taking
advantage of thl opportunity.
WHICH CHURCH SHALL I JOIN?
Evangelist Bennett .Dlacaaaes Sub
ject at Tkarsrtay Evening,
Meeting.
At the North Side Christian church lsi
night Evangelist Bennett's subject was "A
Bible Answer to Which Church Shall I
Join."
The ordinance of baptism waa adminis
tered at the be gin lng of the service, and
tonight all othe.-s who are ready will be
baptised.
Mr. Bennett In answering this question
goes back to the early church as It was
otganlted and conducted by th early
Christian, a recorded In the Act of th
Apostle and said In substance a follow:
"A most common question asked today.
In view ef the fact that there are over ISO
various religious bodies and most of them
claim to be the true Church of Christ, it
does seem a difficult question as to how
anyvon shall knew or find out what
church he ought to Join. It can be sim
plified If we will recall one self-evident fact
that since Christ cam into the world to
found a church, It la reasonable to sup
pose that He would name It, tell people
how to enter Into It, and give the rules
and principles fer its proposition and gov
ernment The New Testament Is the guide
book in all these question. Opening our
New Testament we find it was called
Church, Church of Christ, and Church of
God. Its creed wa the living Christ en
throned In th heart of every disciple. It
ordinances were th Lord' supper and
baptism. Men of all nations were to be
come member by believing in the Christ,
repenting ef their sins, trying te keep the
ordinance.

GUESTS WHO LEAVE BAGGAGE
What 'Becomes of Them? Asks the
Hotel Man.
maybe they foeget about it
Or Perhaps They Are Crook aad
Flad It Unprofitable to Re
turn or Write for Their
Property.
'What becomes of men who leave bag
gage at hotels and never call for It?" was
the query propounded by a local hotel man
In talking with a group of friends engaged
In various other lines of business.
"Every year we have a bunch of un
claimed baggage and some of It is often
quite valuable. We have some now that
bas been here noarly a year. I remember
the man well who left It here. lie came
In, asked what our rates by the week were,
selected a suite ef rooms, paid a week In
advance and had his baggage sent up. But
I never saw him again, because he never
showed up. We kept the room a week for
htm and his baggage was in the room a
week. At the end of the week, ef course,
we put his baggage In the check room and
rented the room to another gueet. What
became ef the man Is a mystery to me.
If he couldn't have come he could cer
tainly have written, but he did neither.
As his baggage Is worth something over
1C0 I thing he must have met some tragic
death."
"Maybe he was a crook," suggested one
of the party,, "and got a tip or imagined
he did, that Someone was after him and
would nab him as soon as he called for his
baggage." t
"Perhaps he had a lap of memory and
Is today wondering what became of his
baggage," suggested another. "I had a
similar experience. A man came Into my
drug store In a hurry one night and wanted
about 15 worth of medicine. He didn't have
any money, but said his wlfs was very
sick and he must have It at once. I was
going to let him have It. when he. pulled out
his watch and offered to let me keep it till
he paid me. I took it and put It In a
drawer. It laid there for months and one
day I took it out and examined It and
then had a Jeweler examine It He told me
It was solid gold and worth 1100. I put
It on and carried It till last week, when I
met the man on the street I asked him
about the Incident and showed him . the
watch. He said he had entirely forgotten
that h ever leftth watch with me. He
knew It wa gone and had never been able
to think what he did with It I asked him
If he had forgotten about getting tho medi
cine ami he said he had not, and had
dropped in the next day and paid a clerk,
but never thought about the watch. I
looked up my book account and found he
waa credited with the amount he owed. I
gave him hla watch.
"You may meet the man who owns the
baggage some dsy and he may give you
some simple explanations of the mystery."
But the hotel man looked dubious.
