Corisultation held by physicians this morning showed the cmperor's con- dition to be less satisfacto than it was yesterday morning, but better than last evening. Feverish symptoms were in- dicated. Physicians have again sounded the emperor’s lungs and found that they were not affected. This strengthens the opinion that an abeess has formed in the tracca. The emperor appeared at the windows of Charlot- tenburg castle at 12:45 and was enthusias- tically greeted by the crowds assembled. The emperor slept this afternoon for about two hours, arising at 5 o'clock, when he whalked to his study and went with the em- press to the window. His appearance was the signal for an outburst of enthusiasti cheering by the crowd outside. After he leéft the window his er was greatly in- creased. Dr. Macker fears pywewia, general consultation doctors and lung speclalists w Extra- ordinary precautions have been taken to in- sure the utmost stillness in the neighborhood of the castle in order that the emperor’s re- Pose may ot be.disturbed. The tube in the emperor’s throat was skill fully changed by Dr. Hovell without assist- ance. 'The new tube gave the emperor much relief. He bears his illness admirably, and in spite of all takes the greatest interest in state affairs, Pans, April 18.—Gauldis of Empress Victoria the rench doctors Pean and Faunel and the English Dr. Evans will proceed to Charlottenburg to examine the emperor, RUSSIA'S MODERATION.

L. C. Vaughn. In the evening the house was ecrowded to its utmost capacity, and a number of ‘chairs were broughit in to furnish. accommodation for the auditors. Young ladies acted as ush ers, The pulpit was tastily decorated with flowers, whilo suspended from the choristers’ gallery ‘above it was the beautiful silk ban ner presented by young ladies of Aurora, Neb., who are intcrested in the mission. To the right and left of this there were. respec- tively a cross and anchor constructed of flow rs. " Aftor the invocation and other opening nreises, the Re A. W. Lamar delivered the woras of welcome, He spoke at_some length of the good accomplished by the.so- ciety, and gave to the noble lady workers the loftiest of tributes, The address of the even- ing was given by Rev. C. C. Lorimer, D. D, of Chicago, on the_subject “Winged Women, or the Paramount Force in the World's Evan- gelism.” He took for his text Zachariah 5 “Then lifted I up mine cyes and looked, and behold there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings, for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and heaven. Tho reverend gentlemen first spoke of the two antithetic females spoken of in the apoc- alypse. The first, the representative of pur- ity, clad in white, her face like the sun, the moon beneath her feet and twelve stars upon her brow. The other, the harlot, was at- tired in scarlet, was adorned with metricious and cheap ornaments, and though she grew into the great city of Babylon, her career was brief. Thus, ever in life, virture is its own crowning glory, while the glitter of la less abides but for the moment. Wings signify something aspiring, Men are more ambitions than women, Though woman possesses many fine attributes she lacks aspi- ration, and as a consequence she never has achieved what man has. No woman ever yet has had _the breadth of poetic imagina- tion of Shakespeare, or Milton, But woman’s sphere has éver been that of guardian of the morals and religion of the family, and her mission is thus the nobler. The stork, the harbinger of good fortune, is a migratory bird, and no matter how fierce the blast he has to oppose, he struggles on- ward. Soany great enterprise in which the champions " are bear of good tidings there must first be struggles, self ~ sacrifice and perseverance. In their christian work the good women areapt to overlook the numerous shop girls and other young women who are needing but a kindword to keep them from destruction. They wait until the girls arc ruined and then attempt to erect reformatories to bring them back from the gates of hell. Most men in- vest their wives with an_ideality that makes them seom botter than ohey really are. This is a grand thing, for as long ns o man thus regards his wifc, she holds over him v great power for good.

Conried’s opera company abpearcd at the Grand opera house last night in Millocker's “Vice Admiral.” The piece is new in this city, being sung here for the first time.

MisNEAPOLIS, ~April 18-—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.]—The game to-day botween Omaha and Minneapolis resulted in a shut out for the Omaha boys, probably no less to the surprise of any one than the Minneapolis players themselves. - But the Omaha boys couldn't find young Klopf’s curves and he had them completely at his mercy, Cassian occupied the box for Omaha and was hit freely throughout the game, besides receiy- ing very loose support. Minneapolis went first tobatand Kreig hita grounder to Doran, which the latter fumbled and the rynner reached first base. Kreig took second on a bad throw by Wilson and third on Hawes' safe hit, McCullom hit to Burns, who dropped the ball, and the bases were full. Palton then raised the ball over the right field fence for a “homer,” while the 2,000 people present yelled with joy. The next three batsmen wero quickly retired, however, and from this time until the sixth inning but two Min- neapolis players reached first base, both of whom were thrown out trying to steal sec- ond, In the sixth two singles, a steal and a double gave Minneapolis two more runs. But two Omaha boys reached third base during the game, Sowders got there in the fourth inning on a hit and two battery errors with only one man out, but could ‘not get home. Shannon opened the fifth inning with a long drive to conter for three bases, but was run out trying to get home on Doran’s slow hit along the third base line. Doran took second on the run- but was doubled up a minute after- rds on Cassin’s out to right field. The score: OMATIA, AB. k. 1. 8B, PO.
