The work of these associations has passed beyond the experimental stage, and has bo- come and {s acknowiedged to ben perma nency. The Young Men's Christian associa- tion has come to be fooked upon as one of the necessary institutions of the city, It is so re- parded by the business men of the city, and Wh'a prownent gentleman in PPhiladeiphia recently remarked, *Ihey would as soon do without their street car lines as without the Young Men's Christion association.”” No city of vrominence in the country is without an erganizavion of this kind, and in 15 cities buildings aro owned and occupied by théin. Among religious organizations it stands next 10 the ctureh, of which it is an oftspring, and to which it acknowledees an inseparabie allegiance. ~ As an_all-round beneficient institution it is unanimously nc- corded first place.

Prominent among these is Mr. Richard C.

Thoy will not come together for picasure, or for a holiday excursion. They will come for downright hiard work; to give and to receive; to wach and to learn. The citizens of Omaha are alive to the im- portance of this convention, and the best homes are open to the reception of the dele- gates. The churches of the city are awake to the effect this pathering will have upon their work, especially that among their young men, and are beartily in accord with the local association 1n its arrangenents to give (he convention a warm reception. — Sev- eral of the leading citizens have thrown their homes open on Friday afternoon to difforent_ scctions of the convention to gather in parlor confercnces, There is no question but that the delexates will be roy- ally entertamed.

The full meeting was to be held on the Omaba reservation, With a church composed of about uinety Indian mombers and ruled by Indiun elders. Wo did not know exactly what was before us, but some of us rather auticipated un_experience of life in ‘tepees,’ with just enough suggestion of savagery to tlavor tho trip with @ spice of dauger. What we found was this: Along line of wagons awaitiug us, some driven by ofticlals from the agency, but_mostly driven by christian- ized Indians. The elder with whom 1 rode had but little about him to suzgest the In- dian aside from the color of his skin and his broken spoech. Ho was a farmer, in- terested 1n_his crops, telling how much corn and wheat he had, and talking about prices just as any other farmer would have done. ‘L'o our surprise we found the Omahas living on farms, each having his own land in severalty, occupying houses, the reservation organized into a county, and_actually exer- cising tho right of suffrage—in overy scnse of the American citizons | “After spending throe days we left, amazed at what God has done for them. Fifty years ago they were heathen savages; now they throng their neat and attractive church, all of thom clothod, and many of thom in their right minds, An Indian elder acted as usher, and seated tho congregation with a dignity and politeness that would graced Fifth avenuo. Never wore services conducted with more decorum, nor with wreater cvidence of reverent attefition on the vart of the worshippers.

And if every church or chapel or placo of worship of every sort and kind wero filled three times to the full on every Lora’s day they could mnot contain more than about 1,500,000, There must be, therefore, 2,500,- 000 who never can_physically set their feet in any piace of divine worship, or any plac where the name and existence ot God are recognized.” ‘The same fact is ‘proportion ately true of most other large cities, It is the greatest of argumeats for home mission- ary work. A Sunday obscrvance corfgress in Par passed a resolution to the effect that in cases whore the observance of Sunday is impossi- ble, o weekly holiday should be given to em- ployes, It alsoadopted a resolution advising employers not to pay their mon on Saturday or Sunday. President Harrison, in a lottor 1o the congrass, said: *kxperience and ob- bave convinced me that every one who works with hands and head needs tk rest which the Sabbath alone cun give. Philanturopists and christians may view the questions from different, poiuts, ut whether we regard man asan animal or as an immor- tal being, we should unite to assure him the rest which body and mind both require, to keep them in the best possible condition.” A Albert Laighton, The wo rid puts on its robes of glory now The very tlowers are tinged with deeper dye The waves are bluer, 1d tho angels piteh Their shiving tents long the sunset skies. The distant hills are crowned mist, The days aro mellow and the long calm nights To wondering eyes, like weird show The shifting splendors of the uorthern lighs, with purple magicians The generous earth spreads out her fruitful store, And all the fields are decked with ripened sheaves; While in the woods at autum’s rustling step, “The mavles blush through ull their tremb: Ling leaves.

It has been in existenco @ considerable length of time, and each sue- ceeding year finds the membership largely increased, and harmony reigning supreme. From the earliest days of this order, a con- servative policy has characterized it and much has boen done to elevate the members of its order in the estimation of the public generally, But few labor organizations are as well cultivated as this, It may be well to remember that all members of that order are not following the peritous task ot sotting brakes at the present time. 1n its merm- bership are embraced men who from man- ipulating the brake wheel have risen to important positions in the service of the various ronds. They owe their promotion to the Brotherhood of Brakemen, and many of them still retain membersip cards in the order, But the coming convention promises to be n grand affair, The delegates from abroad are to be recsived by representatives of the St. Paul lodge, No. 123, and enter- tained by them during the session. The goneral headquarters will be opened at the Clifton hotel in that city to-morrow.

The conven- tion will also eloet & grand master, two vice grand mastors and two grand trustees., At the conolusion of the session a grand banquet will be tendered the guests at the armory.

At vavious times advertisements Lave been inserted calling for bids for the construction of diffc ent scctions of the road. At no time, how. ever, have any awards of coutracts been made, aside from one calling for the grading of a few miles of road from Sioux City west, and one from Ogden cast, Botween the two terminals there is o wide gap which promises t0 50 in for several decades to come, as far as the projectors are concerned, When tho project was frst an- nounced, matter-of-fact men placed but li confidence in the scheme, The general opinion, or conclusion reached by representative men, outside tbe project- ors, was that it was either a real estate bub- Dle, or that th nterested conceived 1d easily frighten the 7 good round sum tof the enter r been unsuc cessful, When the rumor was put afloat, by ono of the prime tovers in the scheme, that the Union Pacific was desirous of purchasing the franchise, and that it Lad alveady madc overtures in that d m, all cyes were turned toward the mew line, 1dut, when President Adams interposed u denial of the cments. there came a relapse, and_ the construction wheels of the Pacific Short Line have since failed to move, Practical rail- road men pronounce it & bubble.

Messrs. Sackett and Lawler are ever on the elert for excellent attractions, and it is this anxiety for the public in- terest which has made the Fden Musee the popular family resort it i But these caterers to the public entertain- ment have now secured what must be the most remarkable specimen of a human being ever wondercd at by the scientific world, This human wonder, Charles Hillinrd, will be on exhibition at the Bden Musee during the coming week. A few menths ago, whiie in Philadelphia, Mr. Hilliard, after an examination by a council of learned doctors—residents ot the City of Brotherly Love—was offered a large round sum in cash for his skeleton, with the right reserved to him to__use it until his death. Wisgely concluding that he would have no more use for a lot of boues after e had donned a pair of wingsand flown heavenward or—downward, he con- cluded thesale. So that while he still lives and travels around on his skeleton, 1t, in reality, belongs to Dr. Doremus, of the Bellevue hospital, who will ns- sume charge of it when Hilliard dies. The reason why the great Philadelphia doctors were so anxious toget Hillinrd’s skeleton was the fact of his wonderful powers of joint dislocation. He laughs at a_dislocation which in other men would m swollen and painful limb ad the services of a skillful surgeon to reset. He can throw any and all of his joints out of place and back again with and celerity. Simultaneously he throws his shoulders. elbows, wrists, ankles and hips out of place and in this condition his body presents a remavkable and seemingly impossible shape. He has ereated g sensation in medical and scientille circles in every city where he has been seen and has been the subject of some very interesting articles in the leading medical journalsof the countr; The J.

An important deal in suburban realty was consummated in this ity yesterday by which George N. Hicks disposed of 100 lots in West Lawn to the well known real estate agent, George W. Ames, the cousideration being £40,500. 'This section of the city is just be- gmnning to receive attention, and after look- ing over the market in view of making an investment, Mr. Ames decided that he could use his motey to the best advantage by b, ing West Lawn property. It was lcarr yesterday that negotiations are on foot Which mean the extension of the Consol- wlated company’s motor line and the Omaha and Southwesiern, now running to Amoler Place, to West Luwn, In fuet, the arrangements for these extensions bave been completed, aside from a few minor details, 1t is the intention of the motor companies to not only build to West Lawn, but also to Sevmour park, The rates on the belt line, which is a medium of rapid transit between that point and_the business districts, have just been reduced b0 per cent, and a twenty-minute ride is all that divides West Lawn from the business cen- ter of Omaha, Several large industries are in a flourishing condition at that point, the principal ones being the Omaha Mant works and the Omaha Basket manufactory Dierk’s implement establishinent has just been acquired by the G. A. Kinkel Lard Re- fining company, and the same will be rearran and materially enlarged. This 18 mnot all. Local agents of an English syndicate have secured an option on forty acres of land at that point. inview ot erecling an extensive tanucry that will furnish ewpioyment to several hun- dred men, West Lawn, and adjacent_territory, fur- nishes a very desirable site for manufactor- 108 of all_kinds, in fucy surpassing that of v other in a general way. The Fremont, Elknorn & Missouri Valley and the Missouri Pacitic bave extensive side tracks ar W Lawn which is an important factor in the make-up of ‘& manu residence property it is very well. The beauty of the level surrounding is unmarred by cuts and grades. ‘The land gradually siopes, thereby furnishing a nawural drainage at all times available, In close proximity to West Lawn is a large tract of land_purchased by the Fre- mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Kailroad company about one year ago, as a site for alarge system of machine and car shops, Itis only a question of time when these shops will be in operation, and 1t is estimated that at least 500 men will be required to supply the demand thereby created. The fact that W. Ames, who is very con- servative in handling real estate, and ‘whose purchases are closely observed by the specu- lators and investors, bas reached out on West Lawn property, indicates that this part of the city is desiined to be the leading onter 1n the real estate market, henceforth, Iven at the present time the demand for business and manufacturing sites 18 strong, A New 75 . P. Electric Motor, Up to this time nearly all the clec- trical manufacturers have confined themselves to small motors, and al- though all have acknowledged that the transmission of power on a lurge se is fensible and practicable, yot so far it has been found, commercially, more de- sirable to keep down the size of motors 10 something like 25 h. p. or less, says the Eleetrical World, The Sprague Electrie Railway and Motor company of New York, has departed from this rou tine, Having received a number of or ders vecently for a larger motor, the demand has had the result of calling forth the present new 75 h. p. motor. This machine not aissimilar in ap- pearance to the ordinary Sprague stand- ard electric motor of smaller sizes, The first of these motors manufactuced was for the Kearney Paper cowmpany, of Kearney, Neb,, where about 120 h. p. of electric motors built by the Sprague company will be used for operat- ing the entire mill, The current for driving these motors 15 generated by water several miies away. The second of these motors has been built for long-distance transmission powcr plant, which the Sprague company have orders for erecting in South Afric The efficiency of this machine is re markably high, while at the same time the speed is kept quite low, the motor making only about 500 revolutions a minute while operating under full load, Sparks, An invention vecently been per- fected by Prof, E. Thomson, by which the rails of street or steam v uds can be welded together by electricity after being placed in position, A dynamo propels over the track an electric weld- ing machine, which welds the rails in one continuous line after it passes over them. It is proposed to have at every 100 feet a break for expansion. The Edison machine works at Sche- nectady, N. Y., have broken ground for three large buildings to be ecected ad- joining the present establishment, the total cost of which will be $105,000, The works have been a valuable addition to Schenectady's industries and now em- ploy 1,300 men, ‘Eden Musee.
