DISTINGUISHED METHODISTS. Lending a Helping Haud to Brethren in Omaha. FOUNDING THE FIRST CHURCH. Meeting of Methodist Ministers Last Nigl Addresses By Bishop Hurst and Prof. Ben- nete, Forthe Church, “pms On invitation of the pastor and leading members of the First—or Pickering, asit is now called—Methodist Episcopal church, Bishop J. F. Hurst, Prof. Ben- nett, of the Garrett Biblical institute; Rev. Dr. Frye, editor of the Christian Ad- voeate at St. Louis, and Rev. Dr. Stowe, of the Methodist Book Concern, Chicago, came to Omaha at the conclusion of the Northern Nebraska conference at Fre- mont, and passed yesterday in the city. They were entertained by Hon. George W' Frost, Mr. George ©. Bemis, Mr, A. T. Reotor, Mr. R. C. Patterson, Rev. Dr. Maxfield, and Rev. Dr. Phelps, presid- ing elder of the Omaha district, who es- corted them on a drive through the city that took in all the Methodist churches, complete, in course of construction or improvement, and to all the sites contem- plated for the erection of new church structures, the greater purt of their at- tention naturally being given to the spléndia site on Twenty-second and Dav- enport streets for the elegant structure proposed as the successor of the old First. The location and surroundings were highly commended by the visitors, who took in the magnificent views it af- fords of the city, north, east and south, and of the grand sweep of the Missouri river for miles, the vrairie stretch be- yond, and the broken hills of Iowain the distance. Fast evening a meeting wa ,, held 1n the church, the pastor, Rev. J. B. House, vre- siding, and addresses we re made by the distinguished visitors and some laymen, mainly upon the importance of doing the best that can possible done to make the structure all that Methodism will require in the future as its central church in a m etropolitan first class city. After brief religious "and musical oxercises Rev. ~Mr. House said that the visitors has been shown during the day what the Methodists are doing in_the city and what they propose to do. For years he said the church has been crippled here by the lack of one strong center, and in that respect had been weak where others are growing stronger, However, he looked hopefully ahead and hoped to see the capstone placed within a year and the new church completed and ready for service. After a solo, “Come Unto Me,” by Mrs, Clark, Prof. Bennett was intro- duced. He protessed himself utterly amazed at the stage of development he had witnessed in maha and Nebraska, and he felt smaller every time he returned east from the great west. He wanted this great gateway to show to the remainder of the country what it can do, 1n giving liberally toward the erection of & church suitable for a rhy of 250,000 inhabitants, which he be- ieves Omaha will contain within twenty years. The trouble with the Methodist church 1n the west 18 that it doesn’t push torward sufliciently to hold the young mon by having suitable placee of wor- ship. The new site is a glorious one, and he wanted to sec a $75,000 structure on it, and if it went to $100,000 he would throw up his hat and rejoice. He wanted & church that would be a pride to Omaha, Bishop Hurst, who was announced as ‘'a real, live bishop,’”” wanted to see & 100,000 structure on the lot. Omaha and ebraska have been a magnificent revela- tion to him, and he wanted the church here to keep pace with the general pro- gress. In his travels he had seen many churches in ill-selected localities—some- times on narrow, back streets—simply beeause somebody had donated the lots, that 1t might benelit other property. Such .‘:m should be refused, because they set the church buck for decades. He favored the formation of a standing committee, or nion, on church locations in each cit hey have worked successtully in Buf- falo, Cleveland, Rochester and some other cities, where locations for new churches are thus selected and acted upon by the ussociation of ministers, and the money promptly raised h{ special collections in each " church. He dian't belicve that Omaha will have to wait twenty years or even ten years, for its 260, opulation, and he ‘was glad to see the Methodists here disposed to build wisely and numerously, and with a de- termination to overcome all obstacles. Mr. A. T. Recter said that the brethren who came down from the conference had had their eyes opened by their drive through Omaha, but he belie thoy would be opened still wider if thy should come a year hence and see the new church. He spoke of his own enthusi- m In the matter, and said that he was Methodist from the top of his head to the sole of his feet; was of the third gen- eration of Methodists, and in his little christian home, by God’s grace, was try- ing to raise u fourth generation of Meth- 8" [Laughter]. Mr. R, C. Patterson, on being called to the front, expressed himself still more hopefully of Omaha's future. 1If the city continues in the ratio of growth that characterized the last five years, it will have its 250,000 inside of five years more, and its half million in less than twenty years. The court house, though not yot completed, wus thought to be too large when it was commenced, but now itis found to be too small, and so 1t would be with the ¢hurches. Mr. George P, Bemis was called to the front. He had butrecently returned to the city, with the object of continuing here. Although he had not long been a member of the church and felt that he Was even fiuilty of presumption inspeak- ing of it, he would contribute $5,00 to the new structure, and if any four gen- tlemen would contribute each a like amount he would then give $5,000 addi- tional, He spoke of his interest in the church through his wife, whose father was Rev. Dr. Pickering, an old time Methodist clergyman. He thought that “any member of the church worth half or a quarter of a million, or even $25,000, who wouldn’t give 5 per cent of that to the church 18 not a good Methodist.” LLaughter). Mr. R. C, Patterson again came tor- ward and said he had lately been assimi- lating with the Presbyterian church, but he had imbibed of Mcthodism i his l:mv,h. and thonght it the best “1sm"” ex- nt. He would give $1,000 on condition that the church be of stone and to cost not less than §75,000, Rev. Mr. House then announced that the previous subscriptions of $12,000 had thus been increased to §18,000. The meet- ing was then closed by the singing of the doxology, Bishop Hurst starts early this morning for Broken Bow to attend the northwest- ern conference, after which he will pro. ceed to Lincoln to preside at the Nebraska ponference. ‘The other visitors return to their howes to-day.

An Unimportant Meeting Hell Last Eveni The regular monthly meeting of the board of trade was held in the chamber of commerce last evening. President Meyer occupied the chair but. owing to the threatening nature of the weather, there was but about fifleen members present. The minutes of the last two meetings were read by Secretary Nattin- ger, and approved. President Meyer, in reference to a crit- icism by a morning®paper, explained that he had taken the chair on the night of the special meeting to consider the question at issue between the mayor, council, police and fire commission be- cause he had called the meeting and it would be an insult to the board to give up the chuir to a stranger. Mr. Meyer's action was approved. The board of directors reported they had appointed on the provision commit- tee Messrs. Meday, Welker, Brady, Sheely and Troxell; committee on grain, Messrs. lLler, McWhorter, Merriam, White and Evans, The board also reported that they had rented the bank room in the building to the Nebraska Savings k at a rental of $3,000 for the first year, and $3,600 a year for the next four years. Mr. Evans, from tho committee on con- ference, reported that he had procured a ccrliliel‘l copy of the resolutions adopted at the meeting to consider the fire and police commission question and had pre- sented the same to Mr. Bechel, chair- man of the council. That 5entlemnn had notified him that he had desiguated the judiciary committee of the council to act on the committee of conference, and Mr, Hascall, chairman of that committee, had told him later that he would be ready at any time, and the committee also, to at- tend any joint meeting of the committees which might be called. The secretary statea thut he had re- ceived a letter from a box factory in Chi- ongo, the proprietors of which desired to come here with a slight bonus, if track- age for fifty cars could be secured. No action was taken on the subject and the meeting adjourned. Distinguished Marksmen.

Johnson, one of the leading spirits of the Cable, ITramway Company has just returned from California, where he has been for several months. He is as brown as a berry and as good natured as ever. He says the company has been unreasonably delayed in the laying of 1ts tracks by its inability to obtain short rails rapidly enough for the work. This delay has compelled them to send Mr, Goodrich to the mills to see that the company i8 no longer neglected. Mr. Gillham says that the mills have been furnishing a St. Louis company with their rails in large quantities while they have given Omaha but one car at very long inter- vals, He thinks that about twelve car loads would _ finish the track west on Dodge to Twenty- sixth from Twentieth street on the latter street from Harney to Cass, and on Tenth street from Dodge to Har- ney, and three of those cars are now on the way. If it had not been for this delay, the track would have been completed long ago, and both Messrs. Johnson and Morse hoped the public would bear with the oEon trenches until this difliculty could be overcome. The company has ordered twenty pas- senger and fifteen grip ecars, and these will’ reach here in the middle ot next month. They will be run on two lines, Dodge street and Harney. The cars of one of these lines will™ be painted like Pullmans, those of the other Jines of an orange color, ike the newest ounes in Brooklyn. Both the latter gentlemen say that these cars will be the finestin the country. Tom's Narrow Escape. Tom Pieronet, the well known and ever-popular ex-policeman, was bitten on the leg by a poisonous black spider. No attention was paid to the wound at the time, but subsequent swellings and pains caused him to consult Dr. Crowell, when it was discovered that he dan- gerously poisoned. A strict attention to the doctor’s instructions has brought him through all right and he was pro- nounced out of danger yesterday. Securing Locations, The Murphy Packing company of Chi- cago has secured a few acres of land im- mediately south of the Swift packing house at South Omaha. It 18 understood that the lirm does not intend building this fall, but recognizing the fact that in order to get hogs they must come to Omaha sooner or later, they have pur- chased a site_for a packing house while the land can be had.

The dean of the college, K. Maltby, claims that the mmstitution was not properly or- ganized until 1883, and therefore Powell’ diploma, which bears the date of October 31, 1878, does not lv‘,:ully entitle him to vractice medicine. The curious feature of the mutter is that the name of B. K. Maltby, who was then only a professor in the college, aypears as a voucher on Dr. Powell’s diploma.

He says it hus been the intention first, the following last and always to use electricity as the motive power; the present systems of electrio railways work well enough to ive thorough satisfaction in Omaha, and t will be only a few months before they will be in operation here, —— A Visit to an Afvican King. St. James Gazette: The report relative to the slave trade which has just been ublished contains an account of a ,!:mrnu_v which Mr. Hawes, our consul or the territorics of the African kings and chiefs in the districts adjacent to Lake Nynssa, made for the parpose of vmiliu}z the Angoni king. Some interest- ing information as to the beliefs and cus- toms of the peovle in these partsis given. For instance, the belief amongst the natives in almost all the territories surrounding Lake Lyassa 18 that wizards eat the dead, and by that means get a supernatural power over their fellow creatures. The bodies of chiefs and im- portant men are, therefore, kept until thoroughly decomposed before g buried, in order to prevent the probabil- ity of this practice being carried out in their case. Then, again, the custom vre- vailing in these territories is for the suc- cession to pass to the brother, not to the son; but a strong feeling is now ben, exhibited against this law by the sons \'5 many of the powerful chiefs, One objection against tho son suo- ceeding to the father's position is that the wivesg,and concubines of the chief become the wives and property of the successor, While in Mponda's country, Mr. Hawes was permitted to visit the interior of the tomb of the late chief, a privilege which had not yet been allowed to a European. It was stated to him that the burial was performed ac. cording to the Mohammedan rites, and thut Mohammedan religion had been ém- braced by several of the leading young men in the country, showing the influ- encd that intercourse with the coast has had over the people of this territory. The grave had been dug tacing nearly north and south, and the head was placed toward the north, which points in the di-- retion of Mec ustom usual with the Yao tribes egard to the burial of the dead is that important chiefs are buried in their capital town, and minor chiefs a_little way from the town. In both cases a building is erected over the grave' Head men and common people are also buried, but the grave is simpl marked by strips of white calico, wmcfr are hung to sticks close by. Criminals e thrown into the bush to be by wild animals Mr. Hawes was well received by the Al\‘:um king, who, having heard that he had come from the queen of a great country, s1id he wished to do him special honor. The king was desirous to be on friendly terms with the English, and prumismltofiivu every security to mis- sion: o also pledged himself to discontinue all raids in the direction of Blantyre and Zomba, and to establish at Mpimbi, his frontier town on the River Shire, a military station, to prevent any of his men from crossing over for the purpose of attacking the tribes on the ovpposite side. This promise to discon- tinue raids in the direction of Blantyre and Zomba he repeated on the following morning in the presence of his councls, and as far as possib ade it binding by using tne following expression: “Nik siazindawa zanga. Musungu, andisun- ile mala m'maso,” the translation of whichs, “if I break my word, white man, you can come and spit in my . How far, the consul remarks, reli- ance can be placed in these prom mains to be seen, Mr. Hawes add I was much struck by the respectful manner of the people I met with in Augoniland. The whole country is under perfect control, and the greatest respect is shown to the king and to all oflicials, To the king's wives ulso the highest ro- spect is shown on meeting them by kneel- ing down., This honor is paid not only by women and children, but also by men. [ may add that 1 experienced my- self the utmost courtesy, and though hundreds of people came daily to see my camp they were never intrasive, always keeping at a_respectful distance, and only approaching the tents when per- sion was given for them to do so. ‘This, I am unable to state, wa3 my ex- ence in the other territories I had passed through, where, on the contrary, found the people more intrusive, and ovmsiuuulli' especially in the neighbor- hood of i overbearingly rude. i owing to the despotic way of the king that Augoni- land is kept under such complete con- trol. He has absolute power, und 1s re- puted to be a tyrant of the most cruel nature, Disobediance of his orders is, told, immediately punished by th, and, indeed, trival offenses, i1t d, were sometimes treated with ty. During my stay in the country no acts of cruelty, either on the part of the king or on that of his oflicials, came under my notice. The Angoni are armed with spears, , clubs, bows and arrows, and carry shields. A few infer, zle-loading firearms have miro- duced, but have not up to the present been used in warfare. Spears and clubs are the arms in common use, As with can tribes, their dress 18 scanty, though in this respect not luss so than what is usually worn in these terri- tories, , of a loin cloth, of some animal used as a substitute. Many, how- ever, wear, in addition, a plece of calico thrown over the shoulder, and wrapped round the body. The officials were better clothed, in some cases their covering isting of colored cloths or scarfs. The king's wives invariably wore long coverings of blue and white calico, and the king himself wore a robe of blue cot- ton embroidered with flowers, What Horses Can Do, A London paper, in giving an account of an exhibition of trained borses in that city, says: Prof. Crocker—an Amer; of course—has succeeded in tr: some fifteen or more of these animals, and the various feats which they pertorm are of a very clever and original chars r.

Other equally clever feats follow, and the first act—if it may be so termed—concludes with the ringing of handbells by half a dozen horses. This is both amusing and effective. In the second part of the en- inment we have some clever ‘“‘sce- sawing'’ by three horses and a great court scene.

Several years anterior to 1858 [ had an assistant editor by the name of Frank Y. Rockett, the Y. anding for Yorick, I Suppose, llmuyfh if it did not, it ought to have done <o, for he was o fellow of in- finite jest, a very correct writer, a poet of much originality, and a gentleman of high tone and high prineciples, but tive and fastidious as a wom, He was considerably older than myself, and when the war came, having always been a s'rolxt whig and union man, he re- mained in Memphis after its conquest by the federals and took no part in the bloody “‘wrassel” between the north and the south. His health was bad, he was utterly unfit for the hardships of a sol- dier’s life, and though anything but a coward, fighting was not his forte. While the war was going on—as he afterward told me—he found 1t a desperate struggle to live for some months, although being & bachelor always, he had no one to pro- vide for but himself. Indeed, he was only rescued from actual beggary by one of those nccidents or npocufi provi- dences—oall it what you will—which you rvpulld not be able to guess in a thousand rials, v ‘The city was crowded with federal sol- diers, nearly all of Grant's army bei there to be paid off. He said that'on the morning after the first batch was puid off ho rose very early, ns was his habit, and was sauntering down the main street, immediately after the dawn of day, without a cent in his pocket; lean, ragged, and hungry, and not knowing how or where to get hiznextfood. When in the neighbornood of the paymaster's oflice, ana still nearer an all-night saloon, he spied on the sidewalk a num- ber of wads of green vaper, which, on picking up, he found to be greenbn That morning his treasure trove amoun cd to nearly $300, This money, of course, had been dropped by the drunken soldiers paid off the day before,while roving and fight- ing among themselves the night before. Rostitution was of course, next to impo: sible, and, said Rockett, under the cir- cumstances hardly to be thought of by a southerner, at any rate I confiscated it as contraband of war. From this time on to the close of the war Rockett said he lived like a fighting-cock and drossed like Solomon 1n all his glory. The only iling and spinning he did was to follow ple of the ly bird and give the main street and front sidewalk a close inspection before anyone else was stirring every morning after army pay pay-day. He rarely failed to pick up le than £100, and sometimes his findings were over $300, gl g GENERAL ALBERT PIKE. Something About an Interesting Man ‘A High Mason and a Historian,”’ General Albert Pike is always an inter- esting tigure to the southern people on account of his literary abilitics and his thoroughly southern sympathies, and he 18 likewise an object of interest to many ))guple in the United States on account of his high attainments as a Mason. A gentleman who visited him in this city this week, says a Washington special to the Louisville Courier-Journal, reports General Pike liying quictly on Third street near K. N. W., with an only daugh- ter. The general is a gr lover of birds, and he has so many 1n his sitting room that at times it is difticult to hear one’s self think. Many of these birds are im- ported from Japan. General Pike has completed his work on the “Zendevesta,” the Hindo biblo. It is a vrodigious work, and has cost him many years of faithful and arduous labor lin has a singuiar notion in not wanting the work Lo be pub- lished during his lifetime. When it is published it will be a valuable addition to the literary productions of the country and will throw considerable light on the- ological questions, and will_ doubtless show some impor! n morals and religious ides 20s of In- d istia . General Pike has made and spent fortunes. It is stated that he has received a fee of $100,000 from the Creek Indians for hs services in securing certain land grants, and shat in six months after receiving the fee he did nov have #1. In another in- stance he was known to have received a fee of $20,000 and to be dead broke in thirty days. He never takes account of money,and is & most princely entertainer, It used to be his habit to give hunting parties and pay all the bills at an enor- mous cost to himself. On these expedi- tions it was nev to do the cooking himself, and itis said that he is one of the finest cooks in the country. While he is very fond of Nimrodian sports, et in his long life he has never shot a living thing, and this made the puuchase of & very fine gun by him imported from Lon- don al nst of $450,all the more strange, The general is in tr:uud health, consider- mg his advanced age, and enjoys an ample revenue from the Masonic frater- nity, which gives him case and comfort in his old d “Oh,HAGA 'S MAGNOLIA BALM 18 exquisitely Jovely,” sald Miss Brown to her friends, us she entered the drawing room, after taking & long, hot, fatigulng drive over o sandy, dusty roa “It1s 80 Pure, leanly d Ref ng.
