Mr. Lipe labored in vineyard in Omaha earliest and crudest came here in 1572 and was pastor of the English Lutheran church in this city until 1880, when his wife became ill, which compelled him to scel another climate.

J. J.H. Reedy, con- @ity tha sorviode batoro the' long time pris- oners and the hardened mi- nals, while the ladies hold similar services for those prisoners who are held for a short time ouly. The latter scr- vices ave gonerally led by Mrs, Jardive. These anbassadors of the Lord are al received very kindly by the prisoners, If they don't consider the visitation one of berefit to their spiritual natures they « tainly deem itn break from the dull monot- ony of theiry every day existence, The services are always of vith sing- fng of hymns, and this cho seem to enjoy to the fullest, Cop e Gospel Hynins" are distributed amongst them and they sclect the hymns thoy desire to sing “Tne first choice is the hymn above to. It scems as though they uever would tive of that old hymn, and it has been noticed that all the hymns they select are patheticin their nature. Twenty minutes are devoted to the singing ymng, and then a short prayer s said. A ho prisoners kneel during the solemn on, but a majority of thom simply sit upon the benches with bowed heads., ‘They keep very quiet during this portion service, and in facy throughout. it all s the best of behavior upon the part of theaudicnee. There is a total ubsence of levity, and no indication of any desire to scoff'at the doctrines held forth. The prayer is ulways short, and that testaments are distributed the prisoners and visitors alternately r chapter. After that, Mr. Lipe gencral scopeof the chapter and address the prisoners upon it for about twenty win- utes. All this is puvely a work of love for sinful men, No large and cultivated audience is there to laud the words of the speaker; no massive organ peals forth in sonorous tones the ca- dence of the hymns; and, back of it all, there is no fat salary awaiting the preacher. Itis dificult, Mr. Lipe says, to judge of how much good 15 done by this work. He thinks the hearts of some men have been touched, but at the same time, in his opinion the instances when lasting’ impres- ns have been made are very rare. All the with one exception, hsten y to him when he talks to them indi- dually, but at the same time ho can feel t)m(l o deep and lasting impression is being made, The exception is the murderer, Neal, who has no patience with the efforts made by these gentle men and women to soften his ré- bellious heart. Ho actually seems tocare ueitner for man, God ordevil, Preaching to gaen incarcerated for crimes is a different thing from preachingto an or- dinary congregation, Mr; Lipe talks very plainly to them. He does not attempt to disguise the fact that they are prisoners held there for wrong they have done their fellow men. He speaks very plainly but kindly to them andhas found that to be the oest way. After the services the prisoners crowd around the preacher and those assisting him with requests for books and papers and all manner of things, even money. ‘They are by Tomenus modoet i thelr domands clthoy, At times somoe of them call upon the people engagzed in the work after they have been re- leascd from custody, and, beginning by telling of the good the services have done them, wind up by asking for money toget away from town and they generally get i, There ave not many conversions made in the county jail on Sunday afternoon, but some zood” i3 being done and the men and women connected with the work are willing 10 keep on for the sake of doing that little, There is one thing about the servis the congregution is always there rain or shine. everyLody about the county jail goes to church on Sunday afternoon—cven Joe Miller, A Flourishing Sunday School. Last Sunday night the children of West- minster Presbyterian church celebrated the third year of their organization. A very large audience was presant. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers. The moeting was presided over by Mr. Warren Switzler who has been president of theschool ever since it was organized. Appropriate and interesting addresses were made by Mr. P, L. Perine and Rev, Dr. McMillan, Then fol- lowed a highly interesting musical and 1it- erary programme which the children enjoyed greatly. Durlng the threo yoars of its existence the school has grown mightily and now has a v large number of regularattendants. The of tye school are Dr. Gordon, pustor; superintendent; ' Robert MeClelland, assistant supevintendent; R. H. Olmstead, secretary and treasurer; Mrs, Olmstead, organist; George M. Cooper, chor- ister; Miss Myra MeCllelland, librarian, after and ina An Orphanage Asylum. The Sisters of Mercy lave secured another tract of land for their new orphanage, having exchanged the piece donated by Bishop O'Connor, and which proved unsuitable, for another tract in Benson's addition, which is perfectly adapted to the purposes for which itis to be used. Liberal donations from citi- zens placed the enterprise upon a solid foun. dation, and the architect has already pre. g:md plans. It is intended that lhcll shal a miin building and two wings, but only the former and ono wing will be needed at resent. These will have a frontage of 135 oot and will extend back 118 feet, with two stories und an attio aud will furnish accomo- dations for 100 children, Omaha has long felt the necessity for an institution of this kind, and the good sisters should certainly be encouraged in the lauda- bl project. A Minister Called, The Southwest Presbyterian church has extended a call to Rov, Frederick Campbell of Roxbury church, Boston, to assume the pastorate of the parish here. The church s offored to dofray his expenses if he will come and look mat over, He will give his answer in about a week Rov.: Mr, Campbell is said to bea very rilliant young preacher, about thirty-five yoars of age and marriod. Such eminent divines as Dr, Herrlck Johnson recommend himin the most glowing terms, and if he should decide to come to Omaha he would doubtlessly be a great acquisition to the min- isterial force now at work in this city.

The molten mass is drawn into the crane ladle, which hotds three tons, aud is swung toa distance of tweuty feet from the mouth of the furnace and pliced upon the ground.

Eacl afternoon, after tho blast has heen drawn off, the molders have full posses: of the foundry. Mr. Richilieu has inforn his men what castings he wants made during the next aay. The molders go to the pattern room mentioned in last Sunday’s B, wher in wood, can be found duplicates of ever piece of casting used in_tho construction or repuiring of any kind of ‘machinery used in operating the road. After selecting these patterns the men choose their “floors,” which are tho spaces they aro to occupy in working their molds, the size of the floor depending upon the sizo of the custing to be made, The molder haviug selected his ‘‘fioor,” sives a sigual, his helper wheels in a bartow sand, uot the ordinary river sand, buta fine black loam which is foond &t Shorman, the most olevated - the Union Pacific sta” dons, in Wyoming.

I the morning the flasks are read soon as the men reach the foundry the first thing to do is to drrange them about the “fioors,” where theywill be the most c venient to reach, the lavgest ones being neav est the furnace. A smail funnel-shape hole is bored into the top of each fiask that the iron miy enter.

When the flasks have been filled the work of the day ceases and the doors are closed to all except the molders, who begin prepara- tions for the next day The cooling process is an important one, as the iron must not cool too rapidly, nor must it cool too slowly.
