At the twenty-first annual mecting of the board of directors of the Allegheny —theolog- jeal seminary, held recently, the library eommitteo reported that Mrs, David Kerr,-wife of Rev. D. Ii. Kerr, of the South- west Presbyterian ohurch of Umaha, haa resonted the library with twenty volumes uring the year. The secretary of the meet Ing was instructed to extend to Mrs. Koir Ahe thanks of the poard. Speaking of religious work umun% the Presbyterians in this city, Dr. William Irwin stutes that in no city has' there been more yesolute Presbyterian push than in Omaha The alliance thore has been conspicuously smbitious and aggressive. Perhaps the as- sembly ir 1587 gave the city a spiritual im- pulse, even as its “boom” aforded a mate- rial one, At any rate, Omaha reported five ehurches 20 tho ussembly in 1857, and now it has reached the tuirteenth Proébyterian or- Fanxation, Rev. J. M.

It s suid that Mr, Prench left tion at that place in excellent armonious and prosperous, and while 1t regrotted to loae him it was ready [ @ hea appreciation of his work. Before 'leaving the con- gregation tendered Mr. and Mes. French reception which wus ap elegant affair. The Eo\nn rooru of the church vas transformed o @ large duning hall, and was filled with members of the congregalion aud iuvited friends. After tea had been. served, Robert Johnson, m behalf of the congre tion, presented Mr. and Mrs. French, ina neat address, four rich and beautiful casos containinga fuil set of knives, forks and spoons in solid_silver. The occasion was only marred by the thought of separation be tween a beloved pastor and his congrogation. The new pastor and his_wife have already receivod o hearty welcome among the Pros- byterians of the city. Religious Notes. For the accommodation of strangers and others not connected with the First Congre- xational church or society, the trustees of that denomination have recently purchased sixty finely upholstered dbpera chairs, which Will be locktod in convoniant places about the auditorium. Tt might be well to state in this connection that pew-holders are always glad t0 share their sittings, as far as possible, with any who may be pleased to attend ice at this church. Persons haviag friends who hold sittings can frequently find seats with them by suggesting their desire to an usher, A half dozen gentlemen of the so- cioty have just purchased a new and hand- some set of upholstered chairs for the choir and organst, As a means of distributing responsibilitics, the trustees of the church have been increased to seven and have formed themselves into three sub-committees, each having clearly defined duties to perform. This method greatly simplifies the work. For the convenience of members and others having business with them upou church matters these committees are given: Church lark Woodman, George A. Hoag- . W. Marsh. Church ser W. H. Aloxander, C. S. Raymond, A. B. Som- ers. Music—C. D, Dorman, W. H. Alexan- der, C. S. Raymond. President of the borad, W. H. Alexander; secretary, C. D.

M E. Squires is out of town and her place in the choir at the First Congroga- tional ehurch will be filled to-day by Mrs. Warner Welch, A Jewish synagogue will be built on Capi- tol avenue, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, by the Russian Hebrews uf Omaha. The contract for the erection of the edifice bas been awarded to Westfall & Cushman, who will have the new place of worship con plote within three months. The synagogue, when completed, will have a seating capacity of 500, and will be built in the antique or! tal style. The Hebrew association, whicl building the church, has a membership ot eighty, and its officers are composed of the following. W. Racbman, president; L.

Mr. Bliss is twenty-eight years old, He graduated from the Union heological seminary two years sgo at the head of his class. In Great Britamn the Society of Christian Endeavor is making substantial and_steady rogress. Many pastors find the christian guilds, while well fitted to develop the social and literary 1ife of young people, not so well adapted to their more striclly religious needs, und are turning their attention morc an more to the christian endeavor socl oties as a solution of the problom.

GREAT HOPES OF SUCCESS, The Strike of the Laborers at Flor- enoce—The Barbers and Sunday Closing—Disturbing of Labor Meetings. Eight-Hour Labor. The advocates of the eight hour movement have learned that it takes time to accomplish great veforms. In 1836, labor leaders de- cided to attempt a trial of the cight hour sys- tem and fixed May 1 as the time for its in- auguration, It failed and the failure was' in agreat measure due to the laboring men themselves. Suflicient time had not been taken to discuss the matter. The wage- earners did nov understand the principles of the platform upon which they were making their fight. Different classes were not united upon auy one essential point to be gained and after a weak strike in which the laborers were the greatest losers, the attempt was abandoned. A better foundation has been prepared for the present movement. The workmen do not propose to ask for the im- mediate adoption of the system, buv have fixed the time for its inauguration @as May 1, 1500, nearly thirteen months hence. The intervening time is to be em- ployed in the agitation of the question and the union of all trade organizations in & com- mon demand for the adoption of the system. K. of L. assembly, No. 792, opened the ball in Omaha at their open meeting for the dis- cussion of the question on Wednesday even- ing, and the larger mass mceting beld at Gate City ball last night show that the wage-carners of the city are alive to the im- portance of the movement. In addition to the minor local meetings there will be three monster mass meetings of laborers held for the discussion of the subject during the next twelve months, July 4, September 6 and February 23, The eight-hour movement is disti: trade-union idea, though it is warmly in- dorsed and vigorously coutended for by the Kuights of Labor. It had its origin among the trade unions of Bngland many years ago, and there it has been carriea to a most suc- cessful issue. - In the United Kingdom the eight hour day was long ago introduced and cight hours 'is a duy’s work in almost ev trade and occupation. This reform was accomplished, too, without & reduction of wages to an appreciable degreo—a fact which economic writers shotild not -fail to note, since in all comparative wage tables between England and the United States, the English day consists of but eight hou while the American consists of ten. The principal reason given by the labor organizations for demanding the eight-hour day is that, by shortening the working day one-fifth it would necessarily give employ- ment to that large body of the unemplyed, whicn statisticians tell us numbers 1,000,000 eveu in prosperous times. Ten hours' pay is s reguired for the eight-hour day, how- and for the reason, it 1s alleged, that sent rate of wages is as low us men can live on. Such, in brief, 1s the history of the eight-hour movement. It has had a few brief and unsatisfactory trials in this country, but the eight-hour day has always been forced out of existence by the larze army of the unemployed, who are ever ready to underbid the more successful mechanic and laborer in times like these. The First Omana branch of the new Broth- erhood of United Labor was organized with twenty charter members in the Sheeley block on Tuesday night. This is the order recently instituted by Barry. late of the Knights of Labor. The Omaha branch is composed chiefly of old Knighte of Labor. ‘The order is not, as is generally thought, an- tagonistic to the Knights of Labor, but simply aims to reach certain poiuts that the Knights of Labor does not. Nearlyall of the charter members of the order retain their connection with their Knights of Labor assemblies, The receut strike of the waterworks em- ployes at Florence was of brief duration, al. though it terminated in a reduction of 25 cents a day of the laborers' wages. The company attempted to cut the wages of the men from & to $L.50 per day. The men promptly refused to accept the reduction and compromised on $1.75 per day. It is stated that the men were induced to uccept the 25-cent reduction from fear that if they held out their places would be filled by [talian laborers at even a lower wage rate. This the men felt they could not risk, and accepted the reduction rather than risk o furthog, scason of idleness. The various trade unions that meet in the Lalis on Douglas street between Thirteenth and Fourweenth stroets will petition the council to abate the People's theater as a nuisance, Unaer the present order of things it is impossible to hold a meeting in any hall in the vieinity until nearly 9 o'clock unless ¢he band should happen to extaust its ener- wies before that time, as the uoise of its mu- sic renders it impossible for & speaker in one of the hatls to make bumself heard. It is very discouragiug to have the baud break in upon a speaker’s discourse and drown him out just as he is clinching an argument or clutching after the coat tails of the infinite in an oratorical outburst. The management of the theater has ignored a request of the soveral organizatious troubled 1o have the Kyrutions of the band stopped at 8 o'clock. The scheme of the journcymen barvers to Lave the barber shn{)i of the city closed on Sunday will probably fall through owing to the peculiar action of the council in sige- tracking the responsibility of such an action upon Mayor Broato. ‘I'he petitior present- ©od was signed by fully 200 barbers of the city and vicimty. The council simply referred the matter to the mayor to take such aouon as he may see proper. Since the presentation of the request it appears that the proprietors of the city's tonsorial pariors do not favor the move and in case of 1ts wdoption would cut the wages of the journeymen accordingly. They claim that the workmen are well paid for ight work and have more time during the week than any otber wage-earoers in their class, Mayor Broatch has communicated to the connel! his opinion that he is ot in a position to closa the barber shops on Sunday dinance is passed 8o providing. pranch of the Nutional Associa- Eogiueers is doing a good WOrk in » manner that might be emulated with profit by other ¢ organizations, BEE the Housekeeper.
