Chapel at Brownell Hall. Excavations are now being made for the new chapel to be erected at Brownel Hall, and the structure, when completed, will be one of the handsomest of its kind in the city. 1t is to stand just across the drive north of the hall, and will face Tenth street. It will be built entirely of stone and will be of Gothic style of architecture. It will be 112 feet long cast and_west, and 67 feet wide in the transeripts. The cost of the building without the windows will be $50,000. A handsome tower will grace the northwest corner. At first Venetian glass panes will be used in_ the wmdows, but these will be eventually = super- seded by handsome memorial windows. The interior is to be finished and furnished most clogantly. Beautiful carvings und subdued frescoes will grace the walls and the seats are to be handsome and comfortable, The chancel and choir will be finished in brass. respects the mterior will be hand: ven than that of ‘Trini thedral.

At the close of the services at the Pr terian church in South Omaha this evening there will be a meeting of the congregation to apnoint committees on finance, on church music, and a lookout committee. All mem- of the congregation are requested to be present. Rev. G. M. Brown, pastor of the Hanscom Park M. E. church, issued a neat little card priuted in green, contaniing a list of Sunday and k-day exercises, together with a cordial invitation to people who a not regular worshippers clsewhere to make his church their home. Kountze Place in North Omaha is one of the handsomest suburbs of the city, and has o class of well-to-do householders, who first lavished money upon elegant homes for their bodily comfortand are now providing houses of worship for their spiritual welfare. One of these, the Trinity M. E. church, is now so far advanced as to be available for ser vices. Tt is located on the corner of Twenty- first and Binney streets. The structure is brick with slate roof, and the walls are re- lieved with galvanized iron in ornamental desigus. o bullding is somewhat unique in xln]w the main st being square, about fifty feet each w oof is also fnul'—ildml. with its upex high above the center of the auditorium and without trusses or other in- tervening supports between the floor and the roof itself.

The church will be handsomely finished, and will be a substan- tial and convenient, rather than a showy structure. The floor is not t laid, nor has the work of plastering been begun, and it is not likely that the churelt will be completed before September or October: but, with the zeal_characteristic of their denomination, the Methodists have atready taken possession of the unfinished stracture.

A smooth slope of bright green.dotted over with clumps of maple and box- | der, and bounded by a low grey stone; a heaving sea of dark green leaves with spires and gables in- numerable peeping up among the bil- lows; rows and squares of dull, red brick; a small forest of tall, black chim- neys spouting up a light gray smoke; broad, straight bands of drab with human flies, on foot and in toy carriages and cars, ereeping everywhere; then a broad valley of yellowish green; a winding glistening viver, burying it- :1f in the sombre-colored bluffs, and over all the thin, purplish haze of a city’s myriad chimnoys.

To the south, over the park and down through the vallev to South Omaha, is a dense forest of trees rising and falling like the waves of the sea. Away to the north is the fort, l'lm ence and the water works, while westward lie miles upon miles of rolling farm lands, corn ficlds and orchards. Th sone of the highest points in the city, and standing here and watch- ing the specks moving about Capitol avenue and the cable cars which seem to just creep around the corners we can, to some extent, realize the tremenduous height to whic! h the ambitious Paris- ians are pushing their iron towor—1,000 foet above its base. Imagine the towe of the Paxton block which is 100 feet high, to bo the first floor of a ten story building! The groundsof the high school are over two hundred foet above the level of the piver and though com- pared with that from the towe the viewis considerably limited it is sufliciently attractive and inspiring to entice to its velvety sward and um- brageous shadés hundreds of daily vi itors who sniff the fresh upland breezes.

It is only of very lnte years that busi ness buildings in Omaha have begun to serape the skies, but the time has come when it is cheaper to build high than wide. With rapid elevators, telephones and all the variations of electrio sig- nals and calls, the occupantof one of these lofty offices breathes the pure air of heaven undisturbed by the currents of questionable healthfulness which eir- culate far below him, and all things considered has a decided advantage over his fellow laborer swoltering in the heat and dust beneath him. Sixand seven story buildings are now, however, becoming a common sight in Omaha. Towering head and shoulders above them all is the mag- nificent New York life insurance build- ing with its ten stories and its dome 160 feet above the pavement. When its 800 rooms are tenanted and its four clevators are shooting up and down, what a busy bive it will bel Justabove it on a massive foundation of granite climbs up a chocolate-colored rival, the new BEE building, which will boast of seven stories.

In other parts of the world, after the gigantic iron tower now being erected i among the most lofty artifieial . xtant, the Washington monument ranks fivst, its height being 555 feot, and the tower of the Philadel- phia city hall is 535 feet, or fiftecn feet higher than the Egyptian pyramids. Church spires in this country are not remarkable for their height, but the twin spives of St. Patrick’s cathedral, when completed, will have an altitude of 830 fect, overtopping Trinity forty- four h et and the statue of liberty ex- > foot. ‘The highest office build- 1 New York is the Washington. 1 the apex of whose 1ron tower while the flag floats at an svation of 815 feot above the paves ment, - - of the scason's dress materials is enaless and so also is the variety of collars, only regarding colors there is a limit for, al- though there are more bewildering hucs and tones in the shop windows than one could possibly give a name to, only a portion of these are elected for by the people who show the hest taste in dress, There are some very beautiful new summer shades in green of the olive tints, and & Secotch brown show- ing tints of copper and dark bronze, Gray at home and abroad are extremely fashionable ~—gray in all dyes, smoke, ocean, dove,siiver, mastic, nuns’ gea; \vlthucrouny cast, Rus- sian gray, much like the “winter sky" tint worn last year, and plomb, the lead color so often and so strangely chosen by brides for & traveling gown, particularly by dark-com- plexioned ones, who never should go near the color, The handsomest and most deli- shades of these neutral colors are tour only in expensive fabrics,
