It was, ten minutes after 5 o’clock when threo special motor trains, consisting in all of five cars, glided rapidly up Broad- way. They were loaded with the entire visiting delegation, composed of fifty-six delegates to the international congress, and soven mowspaper correspondents who ac- companied the party, and about seventy-five of Omahn's represontative busincss men, press representatives, city officials and officials of the electric motor company. Mayor Rohrer had charge of the party Quring the stay fn this city, The visitors did not leave the cars and were taken up Broadway to Frank, returned on Broadway to Pear], down Pearl to Sixteenth avenue, thence back to Broadway and Omaha, It was the first ride that many of the party had taken on an electric motor and was there- fore fuil of interest for them. Superintendent Reynolds was on board and had charge of the trains. Few stops were made, oxcept those necessary at the end of the lines, There was no time for a drive about the city as hud been planned by the committee, it being dark long before the party reached Omaha on their return. The distinguishod visitors were again in the ocity later in the evening, coming over to the transfer to take the Rock [fsland train for the east, woing to Keokuk by way of Des Moines. Much interest was manifested to seo the distinguished tourists, and the trains attracted a great deal of attention. bt Sheet music 10¢, 558 Broadway. it ol “rienied The Model Church. Tho Rev. Dr. Cooley addressed the usual large audience at the First Baptist church at the morning hour. **The Model Church” was the subject of his sermon, and he based it upon the fifth chapter of Ephesians, 25th to 27 verses, *Even as Christ also loved His church, and gave IHimself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the wash- ing of water by the word; that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blem- ish." The church referred to by the apostle was the ideal church, such as it awill be when Christ has finished His work on it, and when 1t is ready for His final an 1 completed glory. The modol is tho wdeal perfection, without spot or blemish, The church now is imper- fect, and no local church can be taken as o model. Uiitil the perfect regeneration of man the model is unattainuble, but it is well to have it always befora us, so that we can be ever aiming to attaic its absolute perfec: tion. The requisites of the model church ary IPirst—She bas an entire regeneration of membership. The established church of Englund, Germany and Sweden at, this is an impossibility, but it has been true of the Baptists that they aim to have every one of their members converted persons, Second--Sho is a boly church. The mem- bers live holy, goodly lives, adorning their profession and moulding their every day conduet upon the example and teachings of their lowly Master. They are a peculiar people. Third—She has a true biblical creed, being ned in the bible. The church of Ephe- sus was commended for hating the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, and the church of Perga- mos condemned for fe'lowshipping and al- lowing the same doctrines. Fourth. he is united church. The church of Corinth deepl! sured for its divisions and factious. Christ wants no schism in His church. Fifth—She is an bumble church, Like that phia, not of Laodocia. o is a liveral church, like that of lippi, ready to make any sacrifice re- quired. enth—She is a loving church, baving tho decpest sympathy for every member. There is no pride of place or power, no ser- vility or condescension among members, no shame for humble place, shabby cloth slender income. The members love other as brethren. . Eighth—She 1s an intelligent church, being able to give a reason for her faith, Ninth—She is an earnest church, abound- ing in work for the church und travailing in birth for souls.

A mistake was made in stating yesterday morning that the amounts subscribed by citizens as u bonus to secure the new hotel were not due until the building was com- pleted, as the agreement provides that the sum of $20,000 shall be paid by the 1st of November, 1850. Tor the purpose of collect- ing this monoy the board of trade has ap- pointed three committees of four members each, Bach committee is to worlk one day, and it is necessary to have the whole amount by Wednesday night, The first committee will begin worlk this morning, and 1t is_de- sired that all subscribers pay prowptly to save any delay or inconvenience, ‘The sito is secured, the first $500 having been paid Saturdsy evening. A ten days’ option on tho property was secured and. this option expired Saturday night. The erection of a 200,000 hotel will give a decided im- petus to building and other improvements throughout the city and the prospect for the Bluffs for the year 1890 is indead brilliant, A now city hall to cost about $150,000 is among the probabilities, and, in the opinion of many, 1s as good as assured, tensions of the électric motor system, & new system of pertect strect lighting, cheaper gas and electric light for private illuminating, a new subsiciary basin at the waterworks to give the city the purest water possible, soveral thousand yards of new strect paving, extensions of the water and gas mains and sewers, the completion of tho main sewer to the Missouri river,a renovating of the police force and the adoption of a 5 cent motor fare between the sister cities, are ali looked for consummation within the next twelve months. Tho prospect is such that even tho chronic kickers and proverbial growlers are inordinately tickled, and express satisfaction with themselves, with the city and with the outside world. ————— E.

A Bit of Aeronaut Soaring Not Likely to Be Forgotten—The Yan- kee Girl Mine—The North Star. o Southwest Coloradn, “Passengers for Ouray change cars!”’ come the sonorous tones of the brake- man on the Denver & Rio Grande rail- way, as the engine pulls up at the dusty station of Montrose, writes a corre- spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Said passengers are engaged in watching the passing Salt Lako train, containing the doleful-faced travelers who had just delivered up their jewels and small change to a band of **hold-ups,” and are not prepared for a sudden arrival. The Royal Gorge, Marshall Pass, Black Canyon, ete., have all been raved over in the course of the day, and under the scorching rays of a dog-day’s sun, scenery is losing 1ts charm. Those who have left the city to escape heat, shake their hends mournfully as they descend to the platform of the sage-brush sta- tion and removed their wilted collars preparatory to the slow ride in prospect en route to the much-talked-of regions of the gold belt. Before the cresping car wheels have proceeded far it takes all the eloquence of the proprictor of the “The Solid Muldoon,” who chances to be aboard, to dissunde the restless tourists from try- ing the podestrian act across lots.. But as the shadows fall and the mountains approach, the breezes from above tim- ber line put sufficient life in their veins to awaken an interest in the beauties of the Uncom- paghre valley, with its luxuriant crop, histovic = ground, and modern homes. Plenty of time is given for a good view of the adobe dwelling of the old Indian chieftain, who so lately laid claim to this productive land strip. The remains of the “‘council house,” where the stormy treaty was made between the Utes and palefaces, is also in & good state of preservation, and many remin- iscences of the ambitious Ute are still fresh in the memory of the white set- tle! A few more revolutions of the creak- ing wheels agd the captivating LITTLE TOWN OF OURAY bursts upon the vision like the smile of a beautiful maiden at sight of her ex- pected lover. There, in the bosom of the valley, encircled by a rock-linked chain of gigantic guardsmen, lies the hamlet of the mountuins, shimmering in the moonlight. Signal lights twinkle from impossible heights. The white sails of the miners’ tents are unfurled upon stony surfaces in sloping ravines, between rocks of strata,and in every ;able lodging place, while the work goes bravely on. The dull report of giant powder and the classical strains of the burro furnish m"sic for the in- habitants by night and day. The traveler would fain rest in this enchanting spot where cool breezes and a comfortable hotel contribute to the mforts of the wayfarer. But the stag: river lashes the air with his long whip ‘in nervous haste to bear him onward and upward over the famous Alto Means wagon road which ride is a'bit of aero- naut soaring not likely to be forgotten. The usual contention for foward seats ‘talkes place, until the dyspeptics ave all finally arranged fronting the hovses. 200-pound weight of the weaker sox, comfortably seated in the rear, fluently narrates a few aneccdotes, well seasoned with mining slang, which proves her to ized daughter of the Rock- ng of **Snow Slide Char- Timber Line Sam” were glibly quoted, whilo the cases of “freeze Out,” “Monkeying with the Drifts,” “Mine Salting,” ete., were highiy gratifying to the listener, who is perhaps all'aglow with the mining fever. The fair compainion, however. proves herselfinvaluable as a guide. The first stop along the highway is made at the regular stage-coach gallop. which car- sies the loaded vehicle immediately be- yond the rock-hound suburbs of Ouray. By the time the climb is fawrly begun the prancing steeds come down to a good steady pull, and the sphynx guarded citadel is left far helow Following closely the crooked path- way of the Uncompaghre river,a point is soon reached where its gentle mu mur comes up from the depthsof its rugged gorge, luring the passer-by into a forgetfulness of all save the pictur- esque confusion of the surroundings. Pungent hemlocks, tangled ferns, beds of scavlet berries, carpets of pink bee flower, with here and there a snow-fed columbine clambor over jutted cliffs and gray-green ledges, as if to assist those flint; ants in the concealment of their buried treasure by enshrouding them in this mantle of many colors. What a pleasing variety of surprises this water-course produces! First a slender shining thread ripples along over uneven surfaces. Then gathering strength the stream broadens and tumbles with foaming speed among the smooth-washed boarders, until some walled obstruction sends it swirling around the solid base, scattering the milk-white spray into the very face of the foa, with a grace- ful cascade leap, the rushing waters bound over some precipitous declivity in a torrentine pour, which hurries them onward to nourish the thirsty valleys for the benefit of man and beast. But the wonder of this journey is the road way, which is literally CHISELED OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN SIDE, about midway between earth and sky. Perched upon this acrial shelf, one naturally looks about. Backward lics the narrow ledge hieroglyphed with wheet ruts and hoof tracks. Cast- ing the eye downward hundreds of feet an abrupt invitation to swicide is ex- tended. Glancing aloft, heavy-browed monsters of granite and sandstone frown solomuly from their majestic heights; while forward there is nothing in sight that would indicate & passage way out of this heart of stone. And yet the in- clination is to linger upon this Giants’ Causeway, or gigantic coachway, and quaff the exhilarating nectar from na- ture’s brimming cup. Halting upon a rustic bridge, which spans a gaping chasm, the obliging driver reveals the very gem of the route. A voluminous cataract plunges with a deafening roar iuto a deep-lying basin beneath. Ad- miration and adjectives are lost in the Niagraphic pour of the beautiful waters, Blooming rainbows are said to hover near the spray, but not to-day, however, for the gun is chary of its re- flections and imagination in repose. “Up yonder to the right is ‘the Bell of the West,” and that slide is where she shoots down her timbers. Over there is the *‘Old Trout’ a powerful good mine, and payin’ big,” comes the chest-toned information of the mountain maiden as mine after mine is fold off. The senti- ment is destroyed for the moment. A wide expanse of washed stonos and fallen timber indiemtes the ravaging track of the snoiv-slide, while at the very brink of the stream hard crusts of snow are still lingering as a mark of the destroyer. How httle the mystori- ous verse maker knew of his work when he conceived tho stanza of ‘‘Beautiful snow; it can do nothing wrong.” All to0 soon the summit of the drive is reached and the road moves out into the grassy flat, dotted with unfathom- able lakelets no_ larger thana mill- pond. Skirting the edge of this green tufted park, the bu.y little mining town of Ironton is discovered very near at hand. The smell of new pine boards, of which the buildings are constructed,and the begrimmed faces of the men fresh from tgn tunnel or shaft, moving about the premises, show the unmistakable outlines of a live mining camp. The arrival of the stage fails to excite any particular attention save with those who are expecting bolts, rivets or other small irons necessary to keep the ma- chinery in1unning order. This point is THE END OF THE STAGE RIDE. TLooking up toward Red mounwin—a penk ‘well named on account of its brilliant coloring—smart_little engines can be seen tetering along at a sur- prising rate of speed. This railway en- terprise is even more wonderful than the stage route by the sume author. **All aboard” is sounded and a load of passengers—‘of which I am whom’— are safely tucked away in the little car that passes from Ironton to Silverton. Again we are climbing skyward, but this time to the measured puff of the iron horse. Tiers of track lay above and below us and apparently unget-at- able. Suddenly the engine faces about and we find ourselves riding backwards— but only for a short time. By some magical stroke the smokestack is in its original position. And so we go on, backing and forwarding, like the dancesin o country cotillion, until the new houses in the little camp are well underfoot. The snme mourtain attractions, with an addition of colored stone and a greater variety of wild flowers, greet the eye. Streamlets, cascades, glisten- ing forests, wondrous formations and glorious fresh re the charms of this In passing “YANKEE GIRL” MINE the buildings are so numerous it can pasily be mistaken for alittle city. Thi mine is the most celebrated in this lo- cality. A large forco of men ave em- ployed, and rich yields pass daily from its caverns. During the circuitous climb the train stops at several wayside stations that are quite a surprise to the traveler. Why, what is this? A ssionals are boarding the tr theatrical troupe? Yes. And th us they have found footlights enough upon thiis lofty psreh to et behind and draw an audience,and a very cr ble that.

One would naturally conclude from the intense mining interest manifested here just now (and with good cause) that the city is entitled to a genuine boom, but the excitement is confined sthictly to mining. *‘Shafts,” “'slopes,” “mill runs,” ‘“levels,” ‘“‘ore on the dump,” ete., aro the scraps of conver- sation that come to the ear, convineing the visitor that the all-absorbing con- versation pertains to the “treasure trove” on the adjoining heights, and unless he is fortunate enough to possess an interest in one of those perforations Te feels like a beggar among princes. The main street of Silverton is prin- cipally occupied by saloons, and, as the hotel is confronted by eight of those haunts in the opposite block, the guest will in a short time become familiar with the ordinary life of tho miner. The location of this city was well chosen. A long streteh of land slopes g fully down from the foot hills to the river, with plenty of space for the real estate dealer to thrive upon should the tide of immigration drift in this di- rection. THE NORTH STAR MINE. is the most prosperous mining prope in the San Juan. Itis owned by eastern capitalists, and has paid its way from grass roots down to ereck bottom. Being in the immediate neighborhood of S i essible, and our party gr ) copted an invitation to explore its vast treasures, Costumed in rubber coats, brogans and sperm, the torchlight procession takes up the line of march at the mouth of the main tunnel, which leads 2,200 feet into the bosom of the mountain be- fore the vein was reached. Here the tunnel is crossed by another substan- tially timbered aperture running 600 feet eastand west. Tracing the vein, which can easily be discerned through the timbers by the light of a candle, we wander onward over a running stream, stopping often to small up agaiust the side of the tunnel to give passage way 1o the heavy cars'of ore that are cor- tinually moving in and out over the double-tracked tramway. Now and then our guide calls upward for a stope to be opened, and with the flash of his torch overhead the workings above the vein aro exposed, where quantities of precious metal in the crude is fast giving way to pick and drill. Occasionally a heavy thud from a distant discharge of dynamite fairly shakes the solid su roundings, and we gmile grimly, Fin- ally the click-click of the workmen’s strokes tell us we are approaching one end of the tunnel, where a fine sight of the clearly defined vein is to be ob- tained. A momentary throb of the wild excitement that thrills in the breast of the miner, as he eagerly watches the development of each blast, was exveri- enced by the writer, Thers is surely something awe-inspiring in standing face to face with those earthly deposits which are the real levers of the uni- verse, Itislike unearthing the tomb’s antiquities and saered relics of the Pharaohs. And I'doubt if the success- ful miner would thank me for the com- parison, But as I olice heard an experi- enced say: ‘*None but the wealthy and those who have nothing can afford to toy with these wheels of fortune.” As *‘all seckers are not finders,” so it is unfortunate to rank among the middle classes. Coming within half-mile range of daylight we turn our backs upon wealth and pick our steps toward the outlet. Next visiting the ore-house, where the new mill is under discussion, we are told that the immense heap of crushed rock before us, if properly milled, rep- resents $300,000 in low grade ore. This exploration left us wiser, if not weaker, v.lmu any of our previous un- dertakings. R Trapping Wild Horses. J. G.
