Her Wonderful Word Painting De- lights Her Hearora—-Easter Serve fces at the Churches—Other City Matters, In response to a good deal of advertising announcing the celebration of the forty-third auniversary of modern spiritualism, a rather small aundience met yesterday afternoon in Grand Army ball and listened to an address by Miss Emma J. Nickerson of Chicago. 1t was the opening of a series of meetings to be neld each afternoon and evening beginning yesterday and concluding tomorrow evening. The afternoon was very disagroeable, which, no doubt, accounted for the meager uttend- ance, Miss Nickerson was introduced and made & few prefatory remarks concerning modern spiritualism and the auniversary they were celebrating. She isa young lady of very prepossessing appearance, strong vitality and @ stage manuer and presence that &t once sets her audience at ease and commands attention. As a speaker she takes high rank and impresses one with the fact that she is thorougly in earnest n her work and sincere in her be- liefs. Her mauner of speaking recalls Anna Dickinson's vigor in her early and enthusi- astic days. Her subject was the *‘Prose and Poetry of Life, ' and for three-quarters of an bour she poured forth a ood of poetic prose that seemed to come from her throat as nat- urally as music comes from the breast of a bird on a bright sunuy moraing. Whether the inspiration came from any other source than a powerful and well balauced intellect and u thorough familiarity with all the beau- ties of the English language, it may not be worth discussing. Her thoughts were beau- tiful and clothed in _beautiful language, and the sentiments taught, so far as apparent on the surface wereas pure as the impressions gained from looking at a beautiful picture or listening to sweet music. A much larger audience assembled in the ing, aud after the usual preliminaries kerson delivered another sparkling array of linguistic beauties that caught the attention of the dullest curicsity seeker and c1d it for nearly an hour. The subject was Mother, Home and Heaven.” Every sen- tence was a sparkling gem of thought, and frequently speaking with half-closed eyes sho wrought marvels of word-painting that equailed Bob Ingersoll's best. At the conclusion of her address she called for questions from the audicnce, and several very pertinent oves were asked, the lady - as- & the questioners that she was not an- ng but was merely the medium for the intelligences in the spirit_ world One gen tleman asked if spirits were cognizant of dissolution, and an answer in the negutive was' given. There were many spiritualists present and the questions were vropounded exclusively by them. Trey per- tained tothe beliefs and aims of the believ- There will be another meeting this after- noon at 2:30 ia the sawe ball and this even- in 30 the auniversary address will be delivered. The interest that Miss Nickerson has awakened will no doubt be sufficient to at- tract a large attendance during the remain- der of the meetings. A fine programme will be riven at the St. Bernard's bospital baziar this evening. Ad- mission 25 cents. Enster Exercises. The weather yesterday was not that which js usually considered suitable for Easter Sunday, but in spite of the gloom znd rain @ large number gathered at the various churches to witness the special exercises that were to take place in most of them in honor of the day. In most of the churches elaborate preparations had been made in the way of decorations, and the protusion of flowers inside went a long way toward mak- ing up for the unpleasantness out of doors. At St Paul's an elaborate musical pro- gramme had been prepared by the surpliced choir under the leadership of the accom- phshed organist and director, Mr. Bert Sims, and the singing added much to the enjoyment of the occasion. The music in the morning consisted of “Mornung Service in F\" by J. B. Dykes, and “The Lord is My Strength,” by Henry Smart. At the Presbyterian church a sermon on the subject of the resurrection was preached by Dr. Phelps. A song was sang by Mrs. W. W, Sherman, entitled “Emmaus,” the words 10 which were composed by Rev. G. W. Crofts. A duet was rendered by the Misses Minnie Merkel and Lu Porterfield, entitled “Our Saviour,” by C. A. White. The decorations were very fine. Atthe close of the services an appeal was made by the pastor in favor of the Woman's Christian as- sociation hospital. He gave a brief outline of the worl that the ladies are doing, most of which is done without auy assistance from the general public 1 a financial way. He stated that there was a large debt against the association on the building, and that it was necessary that the funds be raised at once to pay the interest on the aeot and help on with the improvements. After the appeal had been made to the audience a_geuerous collec tion was taiken for the beneit of the associa tion, The regular services were held in the Con- gregational church 1 the morning, but the evening was given up to_tbe children of the Suuduy school, and an Easter concert was given, Miss Girace Balch of Omaha and Miss Mary E. Oliver and Mr. William Murphy of Council Bluffs assisted in the pro- gramme, the larger part of which was fur- nished by the children and toachers, At the Fiirst Baptist church a similar pro- gramme was followed, a concert being given in, the evening. At the Masonic Temple tke regular Easter services were held in the morning by the Broadway Methodist church, and in the evening Rev. Stewart, the pastor, preached 1o the mercantile men. — A good girl can find a situstion 1o do gen- eral housework by applying to Mrs. P. M. Pryor, 616 Bluff street.

The trouble arose from what is technically known as a “shorf ar- cut,” which was formed from two wires be- coming crossed. The result was that several fuses were burned out atthe power house. The dynamo which was connected with the troublésowe wire had to be turned of, and & ang of men was sent out to look all over the ine and find out where th trouble lay. It was finally found on South Sixta street, where the wiud had blown down one of the wires and it had been crossea with another, thus forming the short circuit. The trouble was repaired with but little dificulty and the lights were turned on at abogk7 o'clock. While the dyuamo was turne about & quarter of all the incandescent lights were rendered useless.

South Omaba impressarios of pugilism may be interested in this story from the Aua. conda (Mout.) Standard. It tells how a man who fought with his mouth only fell iuto trouble out there: Judge Fitzgerald yesterday rendered a de- cision in the case against Billy Butts, the prize fighter. Thejudge held that the evi- dence in the case was sufficient to lead him to believe that Butts had been a party to & prize fight and he held the man over to ap- pear before the grand jury. Butts was ac- cordingly bound over, his bonds being fixed at $10. This Butts was unable to secure and be was placed in jail and will be taken to Deer Lodge if hus friends do not bail him out today. The original charge against Butts was that of faking, in other words, because he failed to fight and give the public a bloodthirsty exhibition in several rounds of bara hitung and gameness. Because he failed to satisfy a large number of spectators who had ~expeuded a large sil- ver dollar to satisfy brute curiosity, he wasrun . At the timeit was the opin- ion_of the officers and many others thal J. B, Strader, the other principal to the fight, had displayed a desire to fight to afinish, and he was not molested. The following day the officers who made the arrest became con- vinced that the charge of fakiug would not stick, and a_charge of violating the law agaiust prize fighting was preferred against Butts, A warrant was then issued against Stra- der, but he bad doubtless taken a tumble and made a quiet disappearance. Too late the officers found that Strader had made his escape, Whether ve; v made for Strader is not known, at any he was seen that day at Gregson Springs, but where he 18 now in hiding it is a dificult matter to state. The trial of Butts occupied several hours and the testimony was of a peculiar character. Some of the witnesses testified that the fight was o grand fake, others said it was & glove contest with regu: lation gloves, but admitted that Butts had faked the affair. A few others were of the opinion that it wasa real prize fight, aithough on cross-examination they woreof the opinion that they hiad been swindlea out of §1, as they had been present under the belief that they were to be favored with a long, exciting and bloody fight. “The decision of Judge Fitzgerald yester- day virtuaily settles the case, and unless Butts’ friends can aig up $100 with which to bail him and allow him to make his escape be is fated to langnish in the county juil until his case comes before the graad jury, when his case will be finally sevtied. ilad Butts' friends been a triffie more generous they would have secured 25, his original bond} bailed him and if he had made himself scarce it is dounbtful if he would be looked for very far.” e W. R.C. On the 10th inst. the second anniversary of Custer Relief Corps was beld at Grand Army hail on Fifteenth street. A banauet was served and a very enjoyable evening was passed by all present, notwithstanding the widespread illness among the members and their families prevented a large number from attending.

What partic- ular branch of hunting they were chiefly engaged in we do not know, but what we do know is that one day in the old town of Roanoke they were hunting some- thing good to eat. They entered the restaurant and asked the sable attend- ant what he that was good to eat. 0, everything, boss. Anything you want to order.” “Got any oysters?” asked Mr. Mott, “No oysters, sah. -Oysters jis’ out. verything else, though, in *bundance.” *‘How about your fish?” *Jis’ out of fish. Got ’bout everything else.” *“Well, some game would suit us,” said President Mott. “What game have you got?’ “Any game you want, sah. Billiards in a back room, pool, ten pins in de cellar, and a very lively game of poker in the third story front. More game than any- thing else, sah.” The New York party concluded not to indulge in any game, and sought an— other restaurant to satisfy their hunger. —_—— A New Measurer. An ingenious device for measuring distances, and which will be likely to in- terest architects and builders, is an in- vention of an English firm. It consists of a small revolving wheel which operates a spindle, the revolutions being accurately registered by a dial counter. By running the distance wheel along a wall or other surface .the recorder will show how many feet have been measurad. There is practically no limit to the dis- tance that may be determined by this little device, — Way ‘They Do It “*Some years ago,” says Congressman Herbert, “‘there was a biil before the California legislature in relation to an increase in salaries, and the question in- volved was whether the treasury was in condition to stund it. One of the mem- bers excused himself for a few minutes, and when he returned said: ‘Mr. Speakier, Iam just from the treasurer, and be tells me there is $375,654.49 in the state treasury, and I move you, sir, that we rake her.’” e Distrus:ed G A Milwaukee man saw a woman fall down in the street and helped her up. She was s0 grateful that she sent him a deed for a house worth $5,000, A Peoria man who had read the story started to help a woman who had slipped on a banana poel, but the result wus not the same. The woman yelled to her hus- band, who was standing near, and he rushed up and broke the would-be help- er’s nose. AR How to'lell beath, The French academy of sciences ten or fifteen yems ago, offered 8 prize of . An wnueual offer ~—the one that's made by the proprie etors of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Unusual, but made in good r.ni. It's a reward of $500 for an incura- ble case of Catarrh. If yon have one, the moncy’s for yon, “But you can’t know whether you have one, till you've tried Dr. Sage’s Remedy. What's incurable by any other means, yields to that.” By its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties, it cures the worst cases, no matter of how long standing. That’s the reason the money can be offered. There’s a risk about it, to be sure. But it’s 5o small that the proprietors are willing to take it. The symptoms of catarrh are, headache, obstruction of nose, dis- charges falling into throat, some- times profuse, watery, and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody, putrid and offen- sive ; eyes weak, ringing in ears, deafness; offensive breath; smell and taste impaired, and general debility Only a few of these eymptoms likely to be present at once. by which even the 1nexperiencedmight atonce determine whether ina given case death had ensued or not. A phy cian obtained the prize. He has discov- ered the following well known phenome- non: If the hand of the suspected dead person is held toward a candle or other artificial light, with the fingers extend- ed and touching each other, and one looks through the spaces between the fingers toward the light, there appears accarlet red color wherethe fingers touch each other, due to the blood still circulating, it showing itself through the tissues which have not yet con- gested. When life is entirely extinct the phe- nomenon of scarlet space between the fingers at once coases, The most exten- sivo and thorough trials established the truth of this observation. Hizhbinders, “Highbinders and Their Methods,” was the subject of an interesting paper read by F. T. Masters at a recent meet- ing of the Methodist preachers in San Francisco. The gentleman ie super- intendent of the Methodist Chines i sion in that city, speaks the Chine: guage fluently and from years of associ: tion and observation among the race is thoroughly conversant with its habits of life. The paper discussed the origin, spirit and methods of the highbinder society and the terrible ' ceremonies of initiation to its councils, It was based largely upon a ritual found by Sergeant Price in the recent raid of the police in Chinatown. The story of the origin of the society reads ! e a myth. Some time in the dim pas¢it was organized in a Chinese monastery. Aboutone hun- dred and twenty-eight monks, living in seclusion in obedience to the demands of their religion, banded themselves to- gether as warriors in support of the emperor of China. They dida him good service and he offered them commen- surate reward which their vows of poverty would not allow them to accept. They retired to their accustomed retreat only to fall victims to an attack of the Tartars, in whom a constant dread of their prowess had been engendered. All but five, who were miraculously saved by angelic power, were put to death. These men in a spirit of revenge founded the great secret societies whose members number many thousands. The ceremonies of initiation are of the most frightful character, intending to inspire a fear and respect for the power of the organization. The novitiate is com- pelled to take the severest of oaths to commands given, and to do the work assigned under pain of torture of death. He unbraids his cue, which for 230 years has been the badge of loyalty 10 thie present dynasty, and stands ready 1o renounce allégiance t0 God and to man, 10 all but the society in whose fortunes he has linked his own. The designs of the organization are always concealed. Its commands are given in words of hidden meaning, which time and time have been heard in Chinatown. It has in its pay a regular hired soldiery paid to do mur- der. A member of the organization recently captured had on his person his commission. At is now in the possession of Chief Crowley. These soldiers are paid $10 a month if they are caught and put in prison. 1If they are wounded a physician is paid to attend them and $100 issent to their relatives in China. If they are maimed for life they are sent home and given $250. The purpose of the society is to import infamous women to San Francisco and to revenge personal wrong for pay. Mr. Masters suggests two ways to distroy the evil. White police who cannot” speak Chinese are greatly handicapped and practically without sufficient means to root out the powerful society. A force of Chinese regularly qualiped to act as officers should be equipted and placed in China- town, If method is without avail then revolutionary measures are alone left and should be adopted. i Postoftico as a Bank. A. T. Cowgill has & novel way of keep- ing money safe. WHen he desires to avoid the temptation of spending it he places it in a package and mails it ad- dressed to himself at the general deli ery department, says the New York Re- corder. The other evening he shared his room in a Bowery ledging-house with & young man with whom he was but slightly acquainted, and during the evening mentioned hi& habit of saving his money. When he wis about to leave the room he missed #35and accused his companion of the theft. Morgan at the postofice was notified of un unstamped rnckflze at the general delivery window. e opened it and found $45 and a card bearing the name of A. T. Cowgill. The name on the outside of the package did not correspond and suspicion was aroused. When a young man appeared and asked for a package with the name as indicated he was usked to step inside. | Instead he ran away as fast as he could.

Thus if silver were #1 an ounce; and aluminum #1 a pound, silver would be really fifty times more custly, bulk for bulk; aluminum at §1 a pound would only be twice as costly as copper ab 15 cents a pound. — - A Bride's To: Rin One fair bride who belongs to the swellest set in McAllister's 400 of New York had for a wedding present from some enterprising friend a toe ring, It was “severely plain,” being simply a gold band studded with brilliants. It is said by Mme. Rumor that her bride- groom, who, by the way, i ghted, thought his fair dame deformed. Upou her pretty,well polished big toe she wore the ring, and he, man-like, did not see the beauty at first of marrying such pretty attributes as nature had bestowed upon her. R A bad _complexion is beauty, then why not use Cream and become beautiful. e Will Do No Harm to Try It.

An old colored man, to whom my wife had shown some kindnesse led at the house, and saying he had heard of | my little one’s illness, urged me to try pineapple juice. The old fellow de- clared that in Louisiana, where he came from, he had seen it tried a million times, and that in each case it had proved effective. So I secured a pine- apple and squeezed out the juice. fter a while we got some of it down the boy’s throat, and in a short time he was curcd. The pineapple should be thor- oughly ripe. The juice is of so corosive a nature that it will cut out the diphthe- ritic mucus. I tell you it is a sure cure. gl FPehring Sca Controversy. The statement by ex-Minister Phelps, which will appear in the April number of Harper’s Magazine (to be published March 21). of the controversy betwecn the United States and Great Britain is clear, full and conclusive. After show- ing the extent of the destruction of seal | life in the open sea surrounding the Pribyloff islands through the Canadian intrusions, so great that during the past four years four-fifths of therevenue from an important American industry has disappeared. Mr. Phelps exposes the wanton and wasteful character of this destruction, as contrary to the ordinary dictates of humanity as it is to the re- quirements of self-interest. He shows that the convention vroposed during President Clevelund’s administration for the protection of seals during their breeding period was thwarted by the ob- jection of Canada. whose citizen obtaining a certain profit from their dep- redations, wasteful as these were, *‘The question now presented. is”, says Mr. Phelps. “whether the United States go ernment has a right to Vrn(\:cl its prop- erty and the business of its people from this wanton and *barbarous destruction by foreigners, which it has made crim- inal b act of congress; or whether the fact that it takes place upon waters that are claimed to be a part of the open sea affords an immunity to the parties en- gaged in it which the government is bound to respect. “Our controversy,” says Mr. Phelps, s really with Canada, though in our complaini we must address Great Britain, who thus stands between us and Canada, not as an umpire, but bound to support the claims of her colony o far as she can,” Hence the policy of evasion pur- sued by her majesty’s ministers. Mr. Phelps does not favor arbitration, which in the present case “is more attractive in theory than valuable in practice.” Mr. Phelps’ generous support of Mr. Blaine, and his plea for tha instant pro- tection of seal and of the seal industry by utting an end to the depredutions o individual foreigners, will commend his paver to the good sense and patriotism of every Ame The e They the Lost Doggie.
