THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY NOVEMBER 4, 1889 SUNDAY NEWS IN TREBLUFFS. A Strong Kick Belng Made For More Light Towers. SAYINGS FROM THE PULPITS. The Political Kettle Beginning to Boil—A Real Estate Man Sat- isfled With the Outlook For Next Year. More Klectric Towers Wanted. “Why,you've no idea what a job it is going to be,” sald Alderman Kverett, yesterday, inreply to a question regarding the re- location of the electric light towers and the location of the fifty low lights that are to be placed at various strect intersections, ‘At the council meeting last Monday night we decided to devote the remainder of the week, that is, the evenings, to this matter, and we would have it entirely settled, but in reality the work is not yet commenced. Tho mayor was out of the city, Alderman Waterman was sick, and the weather was so unfavorable that the rest of us couldn’t do anything about i Meetings were called, but hardly anyone re- sponded, and as a result wo have been out but one night. [ don’t believe there will be much dificuity in locating the low lights after the tower question is settied, but that is where the trouble will be. Weought to have three more towers located the southern and western parts of the city, and it was in- tended to remove those on Broadway for this purpose, but the more mention of it calls forth a tremendous protest. Some follts even go 8o far s to threaten to enjoin the couneil If any attempt is made to move these towers, Now, it bogins to look as though we would have to buy about three new towers, leave the present ones where v aro, and then put in the low lights where they will do the 1ost good.” - Whar to Read, There were few vacunt seats in the Broad- Methodist church yesterday morning n the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Franklin, be- Ban tho s e, His subject was “The Best Reading.” The text was found in I Timothy, 4:13, and ke handled it so satisfactorily that ab the conclusion a vote was proposed by one of the members and carried, requesting Dr. Franklin to prepare the sermon in full for publication in the church papers. “The literature of any age is in tue reflection of the thought and of tha people. Here und there o bright moteor will flash out and illumine in ad- vance of the restiess multitude, asking favor and recognition, and receiving but hittle. The great mass of publications is along the line where people live, move and act, ana is devoured to satisfy the appetites, whether it be healthy or otherwise, whether it be e: alting or debasing. In every ago discrimi- nations have been made touching the real merit of the literature of the tines. On theoue hand philosophy has been recognized us being within the realm of apeculation, while christianity has been rec- 'gnized as' truth. In subject mattor the range of the oneis equal to the other. The realm of speculation is in the philosophic sense, illimitaple, because the realm of truth is witnout bound peculation concerns itself with truth,not as wing it, but seck- ing it. 0, who lived 420 years before Chirist, deait largely with intellectual prob- ioms, evor learning, ever teaching. He is the representative of the best thoughts of time. He stands for government, for social ideas, for education, for religious teaching. In him whatever is good inhis age reaches high water mark., ‘The governmental idea, tho philosophiic purpose, the culture of the mind, all ascend to a height beyond which among the Greeks it never went, He repre- sents the moral forces of times. St. Paul, the truth revealed, exhorts T attentiou to reading, to put his hand upon everything of value, and reaching backward bring forth the gems of truth and harmonize the discordantelements, fusing the mass into the pure gold of the kingaom. Christianity means enlightenment, Its truths are not buried. It gives as a heritage all reamls, all fields of philosophy, truth and science, and in this age when every foot is contested the closest discriminations must needs be made if we escape the poison of a contaminated printed pags. This is emphatically a read- ing age. The presses of the land are busy night and day. No estimate can be made of the burden carried by our United States wnails every day to every part of our land; much that is good, more that is bad, and car loads of the rankest poison. Very much of this printed page comes slightly tinctured with truth, ‘Thank God that nothing can live if 1t is absclutely divorced from truth, Take “*Robert Elsemere’ and the like,clothed with the christian garb, that is meant to con- ceal the poison that lurks within it. The plays in ouvr theaters and the fiction plots where subtile thrusts are made at things sacred, where marriage is robbed of its sanctity, have yet enough in them to com- mend them'to some thoughtful people, who think 1t not bad. ‘Ihe advertising of the so- called sucred concerts in parks by brass bands is often the prelude to drunken rows. 1 am glad the secular press is beginning to bur- lesque it as I noticed it burlesqued by an Omaha paper a short time ago, which adver- tised a “sacred dog fight” n ‘South Omaha, ‘The venders ot the poisonous literature are active, and I have to watch my froat door day after day to prevent some of the deadly poison getting into the hauds of my littie boy. Who are these but those who ¢o out into the world to make a barter of souls? Catching advertisements are printed in prominent places, and there is scarcely anything in this lino that is not used. How can the eyil be counteracted? Only by a sound, pure, enobling, wholesome literature, Christismty hus this. Her books, papers. pumphlets, tracts are the ex- vounent of what sho is. Take for instance the writings of Calvin, Pope, Watson, Ray- mond. “Theology,” you say. What is the- ology! The science of God. ‘‘And only for the ministers,”” you say, Think you God has given the mimsters a monopoly of it If you do not care to meddle with this, you have the Christian literature, the reiigious papers, If you say you have no taste for it, it is a con- fession of a vitiated appetite and an admis- sion of a sad state of morals. What is needed is not less enthusiasm but better knowledge of fact. There is no genuine enthusiasm that is not based upon our love and faith. ‘What does Methodism believe and teach? is a question you should all ask. Fanaticism of the most dangerous character grows out of an imperfect knowledge of what God is and what the bible is and what i its true inter- pretation, What is the peril most part character the great southland, and of our larger cities to-day! What but the ignorant, untaught, un-Americanized voter, who stands with & ballot in his hand, who knows no law but emotion, who may be led by brass bauds and banners, who cannot give a definition of government, who is morally the tool of designing men, who does not ana cannot tuink and act for hinself— who are these but the victims of ignorance and superstition? What is the remedy? Educate head, beart and conscience, In re- ligion not ull must be emosion. We must bie ready to give to every man a reason for the hope within us, We moet skilled and trained workmen in the field of contest. We en- counter philosopby that is faulty and science that is godless. The fragmentary and re- iterated declaration that christiaoity is los- ing its grip upon the world is heard on every hand. How can you meot all this un- equipped with facts gleaned from the ature of a living church, whose business 1t is to know what is transpiring in the world of thought and vital christianity{ ‘T'he press of the church is set apart and or- dained to @ holy mission.

At the Congregational church yesterday morning there was communion service. The pastor, Rev. G. W. Croft, gave a brief ser- mon on the character of Christ as a saviour from sin, Among the new members re- ceived was one of the _students at the insti- tution for the deaf and dumb. Ho was bap- tized and then asserttd to the profession of faith with the usual obligations. The service was interpreted in sign langnage by Prof. McDermid, one of thY instructors at the in stitution. It was a very interesting and im- pressive occasion. THE UNITARIANS. § . The Unitarians held a service yesterday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Maun, of Omaha, de- livering the address. It is strange that in a city of the sizo of Council Bluffs there is no regularly organized Unitarian society, though there are many persons who would {)rolml)ly join were ono staried. There has heen .no attempt to organiza of late, and there seems a lack of leadership. - The Fight Will Be a Rot One. There was undoubtedly more attention paid to politics than to religion in this city yosterd £rom an hour which is usually considered early on Sunday morning, until long after midoight, small knots of political wire pullers wera to be seen on the street corners, in the cigar stores, billiard halls and other lounging places throughout the business portion of the city. Numerous small bets were made as to the outcome of to-morrow’s election, but it was noticeable ‘that no very large sums were wagered. Ono gentleman, whose check is good for 8ix figurcs, doposited a good round sum atthe Man- hattan to accommodate any who might want to indulge ina little political spoculation. He was willing to bet even on O'Neil! for sheriff, that Hendricks’ majority for auditor would be over five hundred, that Plumer’s majority for treasurer would be over ono thousand, and several combinations. One re- publican wanted to bet on Frum for sheriff, and did not want anything better, but finally concluded that a little odds -would ma%ke 1t more interesting, thavis, with the odds in his favor, so he changed his bet, and his money will notbe lostunless O'Neill gets more than one hundred majori “We will elect our entive ticket,” dicted one enthusiastic democrat. “No, we won't,” replied another. “We won't elect Ware to the legislature. He will run like a scared wolf in some parts of the county, for he used to teach school in the country, and the farmers will stand by him pretty well, but that people’s ticket that was patched up at Nootn will kill him. That con- vention cndorsed Briggs, but left Ware out in the cold, and put Watkins in his place, Watxins will get several hundred votes, and they will all come from Wara, which will bring him out at the small ond of the horn. There wiil be a stug firht over the sheriff, and I will venture to predict that neither of the nominees will rest casy until the last pre- cinet, is heard from. Iknow they talk about mereasing our 1,200 majority of a year ago, but if they nally believe it themsclves they g for a great surprise party. I don't think there will be any skullduggery attempted at the polls, for everything will be watched too closely by both sides, but there will be a red-hot oid fight, just the sawe,” pre- ey How Harriron Writes His Messago. The Baltimore American telis how the president catches ideas to be used in his message: 2 He keeps upon his table a scratch tablet, and whenever an idea occurs to him which he wants to incorporate into his message ho makes & memorandum of it and drops the sheet into a private drawor.

A Canine Detective, A somewhat remarkable incident oc- curred in this city Thursday which places beyoud dispute the statement that dogs possess a high degree of in- telligence says the San Francisco Ex- aminer., A gentleman by the name of Bush had a suit of clothes stolen from him about two weeks ago. He made complaint to the police,who kepta sharp watch for the stolen garments,but with- out securing any trace of them. Day before yesterday Mr. Busk was passing a certain church that had been holding day services of some sort when a man stepped out of the church vestibule and proceeded ahead of him. Mr. Bush is the owner of a dog, which was following at his heels, and which, as soon as he discovered the stranger ahead, set up a howl and made such other demonstra- tions about the strange pedestrian as to atvract Mr. Bush’s uattention. Upon looking the man over he discovered that the suit of clothes which had so mys- teriously disappeared incased his form. X tilo piecs of detective work followed and with the help,of an officer Mr. Bush recovered his property.

DEPEW'S OHAR MING WIFE She is as Agreeable as the Famous Racontenr — Woman's Business Ablity — Beauty Among the Portuguese—Mrs. H. Ulews. Mra. Cleveland's New Home, Mra. Grover Cleveland spent blue Monday in her new home, No. 816 Mad- ison avenue, with her maid and a stail of decorative artists and upholsterers, says the New York World. In the hall were piles of rugs, carpets, portieres, curtains and fastenings. Mrs. Ciove- land followed the workmen from room to room and took a personal interost in everything they did. Paragraphs fre- quently appear in print to the effect that the late mistress of the white house is not domestic. Perhapsshe might not care to risk her reputation on home- made bread, but she shows far more than the average taste in the selection of furniture, and if she cannot hang a portiere or flesh-baste a frieze to it she kunows when it is correctly draped and the artistic effect of the trimming when applied. Most of the floors are laid with hard- wood and over their polished surfaces rugs of Persian, Turkish and Daghas- tan looms will be luid. The halls will be Moorish in furniture, the dining- room Iinglish, the library Spanish, the drawingroom French and the chambers a delightful mixture of KFrench and American. Mrs. Cleveland de- lights in_ ‘“snuggeries,” and a special feature will be made of her corners, where her guests on reception nights and afternoons can withdraw from the crowd for a tete-a- tete. One corner in her reception- room will be filled with a cushioned seat and backed with tufted raw silk. Above this the two wails will be mir- rored. Fortieres of soft silk will fall from the cross rod and from an inner pole lace eurtains will be draped. There will be a rug underfoot, and overhead a Moorish lantern of mock jewels. Ped- estal lamps will abound, eévery piece of furniture and bric-a-brac will differ from its neighbor, and against the sin of crowding Mrs. Clevelund is sternly resolved. “I hope you will not think me churl- ish,” she said, *'if I refuse to let you be specific. Personally, I will be pleased o show you through my new house, but I must ask you mnot to make anv sketches. 1tis a private house,and I would much rather keep all its details out of print. “Will I like housckeeping?

Only a woman knows the joy there is about a home of her own. e must have the excitément and delight of lecting goods and vhe vexation and dis- appointment that go with the ordeal to thoroughly appreciate home-making.” Mrs. Cleveland never looked prettier than she did yesterday in a simple cloth suit. Since her return from Washing- ton she has made a numbexr of friends, and everything points to a brilliant winter for her. Chauncey Depew's Wife, No woman is less known so the news- paper world than Mrs. Depew, though name is a household word all over the country, perhaps be- cause she is a very quiet home-keeping person, and because Mr. Depew is wise enough to be always civil and communi: cative to reporters, so that their curios: ity and investigative instincts are al- layed by kis cheerful frankness, says the New York World. She is, however, as genial and pleasant-tempered as her famous husband, and has a good deal of his humor, perhaps through long asso- ciation with him. She also, like Chaun- cey, shows the good results of cheerful: ness and amiability in an equal fre; ness, rnddiness and good health, and does not look her age by ten years. She does not go into society a great deal, but has many warm iriends, among whom none are warmer and more ad- miring than the Vanderbilts, who are quite as fond of heras they ave of the man who has done so much to keep their affairs in a condition of high pros- perity. Woman's Business Ability. The fact that woman’s lack of busi- ness ability is due more to her want of education in that line is abundantly proven by the number of women who ve taken hold and carried rge business to_a successfui issue, says the New York World. An instance of this ocecurred a few years ago, where a man, dying suddenly, left nothing but a tol- erably prosperous flour and feed bu ness for the support of his wife and Lit- tleones. The wife was a woman of energy and determination. She com- prehended in a moment that to sell out meaut poverty for herselfand chilaren. Her resolution was taken. Henceforth the office was her sphere. She already had a tolerably fairidea of the business through the confidence which her hus- band had always reposed in her. But she atonce applied herself to the de- tails, trusting to no one for aid, and in a short time things were running as smoothly s though there had been no change in the management. Nor dia she neglect her natural duties, her house and children receiving their full share of careful attention. The Beauty of Portugese Women, It has been obsérved of Portugess women that their beauty increases, after Lisbon is left behind, with every degree of northern latitude till the Spanish frontier is reached, Let the border river, Minho, be crossed, and bewuty is left behind on the southern bank ~ with the Portugese language. The Galician is an estimable but hard- teatured person. In this aforesaid gamut of good looks, with its scendo, toward the north and its finale at the frontier river, there are districts where a more than usually harmonious chord is struck. In plainer language, there are parishes where the women are quite exceptionally pi Oneof these favored localitics is A iu the far north, adistrict that is noted for the great beauty of its women and for their extremely becoming costumes; two things that seem to be—as the savans have it—co-related. In the neighborhood of Oportothere is another such locality, at Avintes, In some parts of this district the children at the cot- tage doors, boys aud girls, are striking- ly well featured, and every third or fourth girl one meets is nothing less than lovely. The women here are fairer and more slender and graceful than the average, with delicate, transparent complexionsin place of the heavy brown ruddiness that is common elsewhere, They have large, expressive eyes, and features full of & pleasant intelligence, An eminent painter, now a Royal Ac- ademician, looking on these fair women #n my company, likened them to those artists’ model women who are reared at Albano, near Rome, and sit, or used to 8it, in picturesque attitudes on the steps of the Church of the Trinity near Pin- SOME FACTS ABOUT CLOTHING.

These hats are a marvel to see, being in diameter quite as large as umbrellas, and are a proof of what people will suffer to be in fashion. The men do not encumber themselves with the absurd headgear.
