The pulpit of St. Paul’s Episcopal church will be filled next Sabbath even- ing by Bishop Leonard, the newly elected bishop of Utah. He is a man of great power and his auditors will be re- galed with a treat. A peddler who speaks several foreign languages (all unknown to the police), was pulled in yesterday for selling with- out a license. He registered at the sta- tion as A Washer Macheen, Omaha, which gives no clue to his name, but in- dicates his business. The case of the state against H. C. Barnes. larceny, was called in Justice Barnett’s court yesterday. By consent of attorneys it was continued until the 20th inst. 'This is the fourth continu- ance taken in the case,and it is thought it will at last be dropped. In the concert to-night, in Omaha, Mr. M. T. Treynor, the local tenor, is upon the programme in numbers. This concert promises to be one of the musi- cal events of the season, and a number of persons residing in this city will at- tend. The grand jury began its labor yes- terday. There will be some curiosity a8 to the outcome of the cases thi ened againt the gambling houses, which have not fully complied with the notice given them by Colonel Daily, the county attorney to go out of business or be prosecuted. The masquerade given last evening by the Muennerchor wasa great suc- cess. There was a greater variety of costumes, and more novelty shown, thae on uny previous occasion. With good music, a large crowd, and the best of order, the evening was made a merry one. On Saturday last the deal was closed by which J. W. Ciassen,of Walnut, sold to Gsantz, Gloe & Ott his stock of hard- ware. The price paid was $3,070.

Before it left this street and passed upon Main the horses were started by the driver into a run,and this gait was kept up the whole length of North Main street. jeopardizing the safety of all upon the street. Such cases should receive rompt attention at the hands of the po- ice. A fow fines would destroy the charm and fun in fast driving. The Brondway Methodist church is beginning its sixth week of revival work. Nightly from one to two hundred persons are unable to gain admission, 8o great is the interest. There have been a Lirout many accessions to the church, and many more are coming in all the time. Taken in connection with the work at other churches there is a great religious interest which will be product- ive of wonderful results. Yesterday morning a valuable dog be- longing to T. J. Clark attempted to jump through a barb wire fence. The skin covering the abdomen caught upon the uhnr% points, and in his efforts to extricate himself the abdomen cavity was torn completely open. Desiring to save the life of the poor brute Mr. Clark called a physician, The animal was chloroformed, in order to sew up the wounds. The animal was too badly in- jured and died during the operation. ‘Whatever matters of municipal reform are desired by the citizens of the city can be accomplished by working thidugh the proper channels. It is requisite to elec{ men to the council who are in sym- thy with these measures. To do this t is necessary to attend the caucuses and see that the proper men are nominated. If people are not willing to do this there is no good ground to kick against the nominees and afterward to upbraid the administration. The board of supervisors will meet in .{eaisl session to-morrow, at which time they will be asked to accept the county court house. No difficulty is antici- ted, and the structure will doubtless taken off from the hands of the con- tractors and payment made as per con- tract.

THE YOUNG MEN'S GYMNASIUM. A Spicy Suit Between Landlord and Tenant—An Insane Wife—Coun- cil Doings—Another Ogden ,House Promise. A Faulty Ordinance. “1 see there is some complaint be- cause we donot enforce the dirt hauling ordinance,” remarked one of the offi- cers, ‘““Where's your book of ordin- ances? Just look at it and see whether it's our fault. You see the ordinance provides simply that the wagons shall have tight end boards, but the bottom can be like asieve, and we can't help it. There it is, you see. It says, ‘To have tight end-gates in front and rear of boxes, 0 as to prevent the dirt, sand or gravel or other material, from dropp- ing on and into any street, highway or alley, where hauling the same for the purpose as above defined:” Now one of the troubles is that the teamsters haul by the load, and of course the contrac- tors get them to haul just as big londs as they can. They shovel onto a wagon 80 much dirt that it is heaped up above the mdeboards, and it keeps rattling over - the sides’ and nto the streets. What can we do about it? The wagons have tight nd gates, but that don’t keep the dirt from rattling off. The officers ought not to be blamed for not enforcing the ordinance. The ordinance itself is at fault, und ought to be changed, if the city wants to put a stop to the spilling of dirt along the streets.” The teamsters have their side of the controversy. They declare that they must have their wagon boxes somade s to be loose, and so0 as to be easily taken apart in unloading. Otherwise their work of unloading will be so great and s0 slow as to knock all profits off. They say there is more trouble caused by the heaping up ofthe loads than by dirt falling through the wagon box. Some suggest that an ordinance forbidding the loading of wagons above the height of the side and end boards would do more to prevent the spilling of dirt along the streets than any tight box ordinance.

Judge Thornell was able to appear in person yesterday morning to preside in the district court. The trial of the case of Mrs. Jane Richardson against Colonel C. R. Scott was resumea and occupied all theday. The plaintiff has for her at- torneys Flickinger Bros. and Judge Ford. Colonel Scott has called to his assistance Colonel Sapp. The evidence has not thus far been of so spicy a na- ture as was generally expected, although there were some streaks of humor and gleams ot sharpness yesterday. Mrs. Richardson was at one time on Colonel Scott’s farm as a tenant, and trouble arose. It was claimed by her that the landlord was overbearing and tyranni- cal, and that he violated their contract by forcibly taking possession of the farm, ejecting her therefrom,and nsing such abusive language to her as to make him liable for damages on account of slunder. She also claims damages be- cause of her arrest for violating an injunction restraining her from going onto the farm. She makes up quite a bill against the land- lord, and the present suit is to get the bill audited and allowed. The other side of the contest is to the effect that Mrs. Richardson acted so as to exasper- ate a saint, and to make an even more evenly tempered man than Scott fly off the handle. It is claimed that she allowed cockle burrs to spring up all over the farm and grow luxuriously, and that the property was so used or misused as to cause it to depreciate in value so rapidly as to necessitute prompt action to save 1t. Various suits were started, including ejectment proceed- ings, injunction, contempt, habeas corpus, and others, in which Colonel Scott simply sought such advantages as he could gain through the courts. The case before Judge Aylesworth in which & number of fine bunchesof cockle burrs were introduced in evidence, is still fresh in the memory of those who heard any of the evidence. The present suit is a gathering up of all the old oases, a potpourri, nhnr“y spiced, and before the end is reached will doubtless fur- nish more amusement for those who have little else to do besides hanging about the court room and watch pro- ceedings. —_—— On the market for over twenty years.

This institution is now in complete running order and is growing in public favor every day. Those of our citizens who have not inspected the rooms since the new equipments have been put in place should do so at their earliest op- rtunity. There is now in use the fol- owing apparatus: Three chest ma- chines, one pulley rowing machine, neck and wrist machine—all of A. G. Spaulding & Bro.’s improved style— meumatic rowing machine with revolv- Png handles and ulhflni seat, horizontal bars, chest bars, fiwinf ng rings, travel- ing rings, rope climbing ladder, hori- zontal ladder, climbins rope. In addi- tion to these are the dumb bells, both wooden and iron, of various sizes, In- dian clubs, mats, etc. In the same room are the bath rooms, three in number, with dressing rooms in connection, hot and cold water supply, water closet, waste bowl, etc., the number of baths now averaging over fifty per week, Although the shower baths are intended more for taking quick baths imme- diately alter taking exercise in the gymnasium, still they are growin, quite popular with business men an others who cannot attend regularly the gymnasium classes. The membership tickets which are supplied at a very reasonable figure, (85 per year), entitle the holder to all privileges of the gymnasium and bath- rooms. The only extra charge is for those who do not desire to furnish their own towels, a ticket good for twenty-five towels being sold for 50c, thus only aver- aging 2¢ per towel, just about enough to cover the washing, The bathrooms are open and in running order from 8:30 a. m. to 9:30 p. m.; the gymvasium from the same hour in the morning to 9:15 p. m., every day except Sunday, thus affording abundant opyortunity for use to any one. % The general class at 5 o'clock, in- tended more especially for business men, meets every afternoon, The boys’ _THE class, for members under 16, is now organizod. and meeting regularly on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons at 4 o'clock. Parents, step in sometime and see what a chance there is for your boys. The evening class meets as heretofore at 8 o'clock every evening except Wednesday and Saturday. e ladies’ class being an outside feature, is not yet or&nized but is one of the possibilities, hile the gymnasium is .intended solely for members, still all inter- ested in the work are always wel- come as z lo';’. The room occupied is light and“warm, and with its new hard pine floor and new apparatus presents a very inviting appearance to any one dis- Komd to develop his muscle and improve 8 physique. A few necessary regulations notice- able for the absence of red tape are posted in a conspicuous place. From these we see that the floer is open for eneral exercise ail the day excepting uring class drills. At these driils the members are always put through a brisk exercise with wooden dumbbells, the movements being arranged in physio- logical order and in sufficient number to hr&ngrinw play every muscle of the body. This drill is followed usually by work on the paralel bars or Indian clubs. According to the present system a man can take from twenty to forty min- utes & day and accomplish wonders in the way of tuning up his system. Experience shows that there is nothing cql ul to gymnastic exercise, properly used, as a remedy for nervous troubles, lung and heart diseases, dys- pepsia, constipation, ete. Our citizens should do all in their power to aid in maintaining this worthy institution es- mblinhAcd through the efforts of the Y. N. B.—Each member who expects to take regular work, as complete measure- ments taken, as per card, once at begin- ning and again after a few months, to show development in general, and in particular when any one part needs special attention.] —_———— J.

Mr. G. W. Furguson, of, the Pacitic house, laid his glasses upon the desk where he was engaged. When he looked for them a few minutes after they were gone. The police were notified of the loss. About 4 o’clock Officer Unthank noticed a fellow passing up Broadway who was slightly nnder the influence of “benzine.” He had upon his arm a cont and vest and the officer decided to investigate. The fellow was taken to the station, where he gave the name of F. M. White. He was searched, and among his effects were two pairs of glasses and a pawn ticket. One pair was identitied by Mr. Furguson as his own, The pawn ticket was issued by Goldstein upon an overcoat, which he now has. No doubt all the articles were stolen. The fellow will get a soft jobat the expense of the city, and no one but himself will be sorry fe - J. G. Tipton has a Broadway corner lot in Baylies & Palmer’s very cheap to-day. Mrs. Lucy Clark, wife of William Clark, the butter and egg dealer, re- siding in the rear of his store, corner of Broadway and Stutsman streets, has for several days been in a distressing con- dition of mind. It is feared that she will have to be taken to an asylum for treatment, although her friends are endeavoring to care for her here, in the hope that relief may come without re- moving her. One of the saddest feat- ures to the case is that her delusions center as against her husband, she be- lieving thut he has another wife, that he is try{nfi to rob her of what little money she has, and when he appears in her presence she becomes wrrik:ly ex- cited, so that he is unable to care for her as he would gladly do. The fact that she is in expectation of soon be- coming a mother is another of the Km-ulinrly sad features of the case. She as during the past two or three days caused several quite sensational scenes in that neighborhood, it not being realized until of late that she was so out of balance mentally.

The malcontents who appeared in the court yesterday were few and were lightly handled by the judge. J. Shakle was given a thirty day leave-of-retire- ment from the view of the public. The case’of J. Rivers was continued. New papers were issued for the arrest of D. Grimmelman, charged with larceny, the old warrant having been lost. This case and that of Fitzgerald will be tried to-day. Judge Aylesworth was absent during the afternoonand in view of this fact court was adjourned for the day at the noon hour. —_— Personal Paragraphs. J. H. Perry, of Carson, was in the city yesterday.

Emile de Girardin,a French journalist and states- man, some years ago originated a plan for a local book of archives 1n each town or village, in each ward of a clty, which should record, not the routine proceed- ings of the local governing bodies, but the noteworthy acts, the good deeds,the instances of devotion and courage that should occur in the town or village, “I would propose still more than this,” said M. de Girardin, “‘whenever a man, a woman or even a child—yes, above all, a child—had performed an act, which command admiration, the information concerning it should be officiajly com- municated to the community in which the person was born. *This deed should be formally in- scribed in a register kept especially for this purpose, which would become the Book of Gold of the town. Whatan en- couragement to well-doing it would be! “The newspaper is too perishable: it is read only to {)e thrown away. This register, however, would not perish, but remain in the archives. The village, the town, 8s but the family on a larger scale. A register such as this, full of a record of good deeds, would be to a vil- hnge;’lh(e a patent of nobility to & fam- il; This idea remained dormant for a long time, but a bill is now before the French chambers which embodies the Froposmon of M. de Girardin, and it is ikely to be favorably considered. 1t is intended, it is true, tocover more than De Girardin proposed, since the language of the bill provides that the record shall include ‘‘all the facts, acci- dents, etc., of a nature to interest the commune and to form the basis of its hislorz.” “ In the United States town histories are often written, but they are, in the mn‘i'uruy of cases, mere formal records, and the brave and intpiring deeds that they record only toe often rest upon un- trustworthy tradition or mere hearsay. There are many, homely events, not deemed worthy of recording by town historians, which‘ nevertheless, in- seribed in such a~*‘Book of God,” would have an influence for good. A Day's Work, From the Family P,h{uiciu: amount of work some people get through is simply enormous. Few people are harder worked than a London physician in active practice. We know a doctor who seldom gets more than four haurs’ sleep out of the twenty-four, He says that it is not that he couldn’t do with more, but it is a8 much as he can get. Many busy men are constantly at work of some kind ov other from 8 in the morning till 12 at night. Some, of course. fin-cuk down, but others do this ear nfwr year, Ip‘purunlly without any zetriment to their health. Instances are known or professional men who have not been in bed for three weeks at a time. These sound almost like trav- elers’ tales, but they are true, although of course, they are exceptional cases. It is astonishing what interest and energy will do in enabling a man to (f’ha nse with rest. It has been d that the twenty-four hours might be advantageously divided into three u}\ul parte—eight hours for sleep, eight lor meals, exercise, recrea- tion, oic., and elght lon meatal work. The | guished writer that FEBRUARY 14, 1888, Few men really require more than eight hours’ sleep, but the majority of us have to do considerable more than eight hours’ work in the day. It is not so much that a man wishes for the work as that it is forced upon him. He, per- haps, is the only person who can perform a certain (\uf;. and when, as is often thecase, it is a question of life and death, it is almost impossible to refuse. Many people can never force themselves to do more than a certain amount of mental work; they get nervous and headachy, and then it is all over with them. Forced work, as a rule, tells on a mrn much more rapidly than purely voluntarr work, for in the former case it is usually associated with anxiety. Real overwork gives rise to loss of mem- ory, a general sense of fatigue, add par- ticularly of discomfort about the head, poorness of a ppetite, lowness of spirits, and other similar symptoms. Tt is worthy that injuries more than real work—care killed the cat. Some people are so happily constituted that they never worry much about anything, whilst others are in'a fever of anxiety on every trivial occasion ———— The Only Line That Gets There.
