Many other church societies are preparing for the chavitable work of the winter, and it is none too soon. St. Timothy Mission. The friends of St. Timothy mission in the city of Omaha are respectfully solicited to contribute for the work at the mission, upon the following basis: 1. Lhe mission is under the ministerial direction of the Rev. J. J. H. Reedy. In con- nection with the mission, Mr. Reedy is mak- ing arrangements to conduct s night school for persons of any age desiring to attend. 2. The only plédge on the part of the work- ers is that they recognize baptized persons, striving to lead a Christian Lfe as members of the church universal, 3. The t ings of the mission will be the holy scriptures as a text book he instruction i the Sunday school will bebased upon the teachings of the Lord’s pra the ten cotnmandments and the apostolic creed in the the most obvious meaning. 4. Baptized persons will that they may be brought under special instruction for their spiritual good. All families and individuals will be ewvolled with theirnames, ages and addresses, for the purpose of organizing them into classes for Sunday school and week night school instruction.” The woek night school will beopen to all persons who will observe its general rules and desire to avail them- selves of the benefits that can be had, so far a8 is possible to make the arrangements for their accommodation. ervice will consist of the reading re, singing of Christian bymns, anthems, efc, responsive reading, sermor and addresses and such social means as ma be found beneficial to those who congregate. All committees aroto work under the direc- tion of the missionary and to report to him from time to time, as Lo the progress in their special efforts, The peoplo living near the mission build- ingonre ready and willing to contribute any labor so far as is in their power to make the building habitable in the winter. Contribu- tions will be asked for the provision of ma- terial, and ouly such labor will be paid for as cannot be secared from voluntary efforts of the people in attendance in the mission. Friends aro respectfully urged to make their subscriptions payablo weekly or l":l;\),{lthly during the terin beginning in Oc- er. The subscriptions for the furnishing of ma- terial and furnituro can be made payable at some specifiecd time in the near future, and should be in such form as can be made avail- able in the purchase of the different kinds of fi\ll(‘rfinl from dealers in their respective ues. Subscriptions for the sustenance of the work will be taken separately and on_ such eonditions as will suit those ready and will- ing to pledge their aid i that special work, Many families in the neighborhood must be supplicd with proper clothing to enable them toendure the hardnessof the winter: also, that they may be able to attend the mission services, No pins are spared to teach the people that they must uso their own encrgies and utilize their own means in providing for themselves and the general work, but as they are extremely poor, at least mostof them, the funds necessary to place the mission on a solid basis must come from a generous Chris- tian publis . I'rom time to time the missionary in charge will report through the various papers of the city the workings of the mission, the needs of those in connection therewith, and will suggest further improvements for the por- fecting of the work, Congregational Missionaries. Rev. Gutterson, a missionary from India, was in Omaha last weck and spent a fow days with Rev. Willard Scott. In connec- tion with Dr. C. C. Creedon of Boston Rev. Gutterson is holding missionary meetings throughout the country. Thev at- tended the mecting o the mission- ary board at Minneapolis week before last. They attended the meeting of the Woman's missionory board ot York last weekand spoke to the students of Doane college at Crete on Friday. Today they are in Lincoln, and next Sunday they will be in Omaha and will ocoupy the pulpits at Plymouth and St. Mary’s avenue Congregatioual churches. Rev. Mr. Gutterson said the meeting at Min- neapolis was very stormy. The question of a reorganization of the missionory board came up like Banquo's ghost but the commit- tee was aot ready to report. The question of opening the board to representative membor- ship wis nlsusf)runk by the report of the committee of nine but no definite policy was decided upon, Both the close-corporation adherents and the delegute-representation ad- vocates went home belioving that they had ‘won a victory, based upon and guide. be envolled rat Observacion Party A most delightful observation and high-five paty was given on Thursday evening by Mrs. M.

Speaking of the work of the churches with special regard for the salvation of young men, Mr. Hazleton, acting secretary of the Y. M. C. A, saidto a Ber reporter ono day last week: **To one who carefully studies the condition of the young men of this city, some sterling factsare revealed. A conservative estimuto places the number of young men, from six- teen to thirty years of age, in this city at 25,000 The relation which the young men in the average city bear to the entire population is one to six. The proportion of young meu in Omaha is much greater than this, and by some is pluced at one to five, Of these 25,000 young men, at least 50 per centara boar “This estimate is based on W testof a roy ive 1,000, taken from all classes, more than one-half of whom, to the question **Are you boarding!” answered in the affirmat The greater part of these 00 who are boarding are young men of ited means and small salaries, and in con: sequence not able to occupy elegantly fur- nished rooms and dineat fashionable hostel- ries, On the contrary, they must content themselves with plainly furnished rooms and 1, bad or indiffe be. In the maj entirely without the c rarely coming in contacteven with the family in which they are boarding. Without the means or the audacity to push themselves into society, and having few acquaintances with married people in the city, the homes of our citizens are effectually od against them. Even if they be members or regular attendants upon chirches, they rarely if ever are sought out by the members of the church and invited to their homes, Thousands of young men have been in this city for months and have not in that time seen the inside of a Christian home; hundreds of young men have been regular attendants upon the city churches for periods ranging from six mon and have all this time can cite numerous indi- There a about three hun- dared young men in the city in attendance upon the business colleges, many of whom are working their way and utterly deprived ablance of home life, oung men have all, at some time in their life, had pleasant homes—homes 1n which a loving mother or a devoted sister was the center. While under the influence of that mother or that sister they were shielded from Now, deprived “of the > of loved are debarred from ociation with Christian people, is it any ler that they fall into temptation t When fosed 1o them and the saloon, all, the dancing hall and the »f ill-fame stand wide open and offer a ty welcome, is itto be wondered at that seck in these to satisfy their cravings for'society, and amid theso pleasures find forgetfulness of all their sorrows! The greatest wonder is that so few yield. ““The factthat Christian people are so rem in discharging their duty towards th young may not be so much due to unwilli ness as to indifflerence or thoughtiessness, They do not see that they are the guardians of these young men; that these young men as entrusted to their care by loving parents, with the hope that they might here find the home influences of which they have been de- prived! Say what they will, the Christian people of this city caunot escape the fact that upon thew rests the responsibility of shield- ing these young men. It is true that the Christian people of this ity have done something for the young men. Through the Young Men’ tian associa- tion the church has provided a pleasant place of resort, free from blighting in- fluences. But that is not all that is r quired. Even when under the influence of the association these young men are still de- prived of the refinis fluetices of hom and it is not until Christian people opeu their homes that their full duty will have been discharged. ““The question is asked: ‘Tn opening our homes to strange young men, do we not incur danger by bringing them in contact with our nd our daughters? I an- s” danger is to be feared from' these men than from the young men who are daily admitted into the Chris- tian homes of this city, and to the soci of voursons and daughters, withouta guestion in regard to their influence. The young men who are neglected in this city are the young men whose modesty forbids them from push- ing themselves forward, and whose charac- ter,with few exceptions, is not such as would lead them to take advantage of kindness shown them. *“The question of ability to entertain these young men is a stumbling block to many. It does not require great preparation and lavish cxpenditure of money to entertain a couple of young men for an evening. It is the home surroundings which they nced, and these all have, Lavish preparation is likely to em- barrass rather than entertain them. “Now a word in regard to the spiritual con- dition of these young men. Of the 25,000 less than 2,000 are members of the Evangeli- cal churches. Not more than 100 are added arly to the churchas by conversion, At this rate it would take 180 years to bring the 18,000 now outside the church to Christ, while at the same time thousands of young men are coming up to fill the places which these leave. F'rom this it will beseen, that unless something unusual takes place to reach the hearts of these young men, a large rtion of each generation is as surely lost ir doom was already pronounced. In cin the church” so surely and so speedily gain an influence over these young men a5 by making their acquaintance, * gain. ing their confidence and in this way securing over them, few ladies who realize their re- in this matter, and are doing ail o meet it.

Rev. F. W. Bross of the Monmouth Park Methodist church has begun a movement tor the building of a new church. The congregation of the Tenth Street Methodist church tendered their pastor, Rev. A.

TRAGIC WORl& OF A MATCH MAKER, What the Jury Found in the Case of the Young Miride Who Took Her Own Lite-One Doubt- o Thomas. A short time ago Tie Ber printed a dis patch from Redwood City, Cala,, telling how Louise Esslinger, a young girl, had suicided on her wedding night. The details of the af- fair as brought out by the coroner’s inve: gation and published by the San Francisco Sxaminer, furnish a romance of fascinating interest, bringing to light all the gossip of an oldtime burg in Saxony or Alsace, Erck- mann-Chatrian would have made the tale asecond “L'Ami #'ritz." Frau Groner from time immemorial here kept a bakery, writes the Redwood City cor- respondent of that paper, She hailed from theanciout town of Klingenmuenster in the Rheinpfalz, Gor v. She was a comely maiden. Twenty years ago, when shelanded in New York, she wes married to a baker nam ed Jacob Pfrang, who kneaded tho daily daly bread of Redwood City until tho year 18581, when he died, leaving all he had a cumulated behind him, together with an in- surance policy good for $.000, which he had sccured at the iwustance of his thoughtful wife. Now, in the old Rhine towns they have an institution which they calla ‘‘matchmaker.” “The literal English is “a coupler.” In France this nonorable institution has degenerated into a marriage burean. Of course there aro matchmakers and - marriage-makers in other countrics besides, but then they are geu- erally amateur affai Well, the Frau ¥ | end of 'the bakery, and it was a popular re- sort for everybody in the German com- munity who wished tohear what his or ightor was doing.

Margarethe, however, was like Von Goethe's Charlotte, She quietly went on baking bread while her Werther gighed in_vain over what might have been. William Becker, to easo the strain upon his mind of seeing her mar- ried to another, wmoved in 1874 to East Oukland and entered the employ of Gieorge Crist, the tanner. Ogcasionally heused to visit, Redwood Cil for a sight of her, and Margarethe on her part constantly wrote him agreeable letters. Once she sent him a miniature of herselfl, for she was a woman who realized that sie was handsome, and in describing the rowmance of his life William Becker gave the winiature away to the k: aminer reporter justas & man buries bis old love letters, Margarethe adopted @ sisterly tone in somo letters, giving him sound advice as here he should place his money for sufe keeping, and urging him to beware of real estate. Pfrang was a man well onin years and with & short leaseof life, so it was under- stood that Becker might find happiness some duy. Indeed once,and even twice, Marga- rethe revived his despairing affections by writing him of the pleasant fate that might await them both. Becker took to Margarethe all his earnings and put. them in her chavge with that unquestioning faith which admits not of the slightest question or & receipt. Meantime gfrang’s end approached, and there wus among the visi- tors at the bakery one Chris Groner, who worked at Haddler's brewery. Groner had seen in the Pfrang household a pretty girl named Emma Kruuer, who was on a visit to Redwood City fora month, He fell in love with her at first sight, and talked froely of his passion to his kind ‘friend, Frau Pfrang. One day, in jesting with her about the other matches - she had arranged in the town, he said laughingly tuat he would give Frau Pfraug a silk dress if she would arrange @ marriage between him- selt and the attractive Emma. Frau Plrang agreed, they say, and it was then only a short time after her husband’s death, A month or two passed and Frau Pfrang changed ber mind. She found a gentleman in the city who wanted to marry Emma, and to alleviate the regretsof her good friend Chris she changed the name of Pfrang to that of Groner. When poor William Becker heard of her second marriage he was beside himself with Then philosophy came to his rescue, He did not a \(bm'k all the pi 8 he had sent to Margaretha, but he prayed that sho send him back the savings of many years, which he had entrusted to her keoping, and s0 that is way William B r gocs about with the “Sorrows-of Wert upon his soul, and the romance is simply one of the numerous episodes which the German gos- sips here relateof the actors in the recent tragedy. 7 Iu the jury room tonight, it is said, one of the jurors, a Mr. Solen, contended toat the facts of the mystery had not all bsen brought 10 light, but the other jurors were satistied that they had sufticient on which to base a verdict.” Gneof the guests at the wedding told your rter tonight that when Louise wishod to leave the dunce at midnight George Wehrlin turned and sald to his new made bride, augrily: “1f'your butcher were here you'd stay.” Louise answered sadly : Yes, perhaps T ywould Dr. Birney, ixhsq’ufn{nu-um, Bee bldg, e An Artist's Romanc: The October t\lllxmlic, in reviewing the recently pubjished autobiography of Jules Breton, rofers as follows to the idyllic romance of the artist’s life: At Ghent, whare Breton passed three asan art stydent, we find the be- inning of a little idyl, so slight that we can almost quote it entire, but with something of J,u grace and charm_ of Andre Amper 1t opens in the studio of Felix de Vighg, who had three chil- dren. “The eldest, the little Elodie, was growing modesthyr=An indefinable charm shone alveady in her dark blue eyes, shaded by long, silky lushes.
