ATHLETIC ~ CLUB, ONAHA'S One of the Gate Oity's Most Popular In- stitutions, HEALTH AND PLEASANT COMPANIONSHIP. ation of What Promises to Be and Popular Tnnug an Attractive Resort for Omaha's Mus- cular Young Me aks from littlo Acorns grow," aptly illus. trated than in the conception und growth of the Omaha Athletic club, From the handful of young men who met at the Omaha Wheel club house, on the nightof April & last, to talk over the advisability of formine a ciub, has grown the aplendid building at Fifteenth and Harney strects and u membership of The old saying that *‘Gireat 18 never more Ply the up! bandsome club house will be thrown which should stand as a monument to the ofMcers, directors and members who have labored constantly and fully for the suc- cess of the enterprise. The building has a frontage of fourty-four feot on Harney street, and a depth of cighty foet, is threo stories high, well lighted and ventilated. Tho frout is of prossed brick, trimmed with stone. A twenty-foot flag polo with a five by fifteen foot pennant bearing the colors and monogram of the club graces the top of the building Interior Arrangements, fn the vostibule hangs a handsome opales- cont, pear shaped globe, containing three oleetric lights. On the cast wall is a pure white marble drinking fountain. Physical Director Brooker’s oftice, in which wiil be a telophone and mail boxes, opens off the vesti bule, and beyond is the parlor or reuding room. This room is handsomely carpeted and furnished. A fine upright’ piano occu- pies one corner. 5 Opening from the vestibule, and oceupying & space 42x60 feet, is the main or exercise room, the interior of which 13 all bard wood finish. 7 L The gymnastic apparatus in this exercise room is something unusually fine, and cost an even §1,200. Artisticaily arranged on tho enst wall hang twenty pairs of wooden dumb bells and the same nimber of inaian clubs. At the southenst corner of the room is a striking bag, drum boll shaped, aud av the northeast corner is a flat bae drum. A patent vaulting horse and buck occupy a pr place on the floor, as does also ono set of parallel and two sets of horizontal bars. I'rom the balcony floor haug @ set of sus- pended parallel bars, Sculling, paddling and lifting machines occupy space’ on the north wall, and will, no_doubt, bo in_constant use. Two'sets of climbing poles, four traveling and one pair of flyingrings are suspended from the ceiling “and within easyreach of the fioor. In fact every availablo inch of space has been filled with apparatus of the latest improved style. ‘The main floor is protected at the south end by ahandsome brass railing behind which " is placed @ row of opera chairs for visitors Two large combination gun-barrel finished chandeliers, with tho aid of a dozen side fixtures of the same finish will light the room at night. Plenty of botu gas and elec— trio light has been a hobby with the directo nnd every spot where' a gas fixture could be squeezed in one has been placed. "The northwest corner of the exercise room has been given up to Prof. Heugel and his case of foils, Already alarge number have signitied thewr intention of joining the fencing class, and the professor’s corner will generally bo crowded. In the center of the room will boa port- ablo twenty-foot ring, The standards to be of brass, and the ropes wound with the club colors, white and blue, Fou little colored boys dressed in livery will act as vages undor the direction of Fames Hightower, the juuitor, The furnishings and decorations a're boing placed in the house, and itis expected that the grand opening ‘will be held November 1 i bly a few days before. verything that has been put into the building is the best that could be purchased, and though small, the club house is one that the members need never be ashamed of. The upper floor 1s reached by moans of & winding stairway leading from the vesti- bulo, and also by another leadiug from the gymuasium floor. In ascending by menaus of the former a small card room is found im- mediately at the head of the stairs and to the right. This is neatly carpeted and provided with cnairs and card tables, Openiug off the stairway, straight ahead, 18 the billiard room, both this and-the card room being finished in cherry The billiard room 18 nandsomely carpeted ‘with brussels, and contains'a billiard and a pool table, as woll ¢s chairs, stauds, ote. This room opens into the running traci and is separated from it by means of a heavy brass railing. In one coruer of the billiard room 1s a cigur stand. Some of the Attractions. The running track is ono of the main points in the house. 1t s oblong in shupe and is constructed en a balcony which ex- tonds entirely around the building, being in zlh\ln view from the floor below. ho track tself is o gem and is tho finest in the west, being constructed on scientific principles. 1t is threo and one-half feet in width, heavily padded with feit and covered with heavy canvas, There are thirty-five laps tothe mile. Tho main point about tho track, nows ever, and the one which will be most ap. preciated by all runners, lies in the fact that the ends are ‘‘raised,” that is the outer eage o the curves aro about four nches higher than the inside, thus reheving the aukles of the severe strain which is thrown upon them in turning a corner. In the corner of the balcony onposito the billiard room is & brass slidiug pole extend- ing from the main floor through a large opening in the floor of the balcony. At the bottom is placed alarge pad. This pole is similar to those in use in the fire department houses, and is for the use of those who do not care to use the stairway. Passing from the main floor by means of a stalrway opening on the main floor proper the lower floor is reached. The first thing which strikes the oye while descending the stairs is & handsome chardelier, mountea on the newell post at_the foot of the stairway. On reaching the floor a pussagoway is on tered leading to the locker room and the bowling alleys. ‘The lower floor is destined to become the center of attraction for all lovers of athletio games for on this floor have been constructea three standara match bowling alleys., The glistoring surface of hard mapie, planed and polished to an exact lovel, looks so inviting that éven a novice cannot resist the tempta- tion to try a whirl. It is not generally known, but thero are more bowling cranks In Omaha than in any other city in this sec- tion and it is safe to say that the alleys will not remain idle an instant, especially in view of the fact that a record made on these alleys Is_accepted us authority and is good any- where. A great deal of time and great ex- pense has been incurred in maiing theso alloys all that could possibly be desived by the most experienced authorities. Electrio lighits make thealleys as light as day and the targo and well-ventilated room is destined to become one of the most popular places about the club Louse. The alleys oceupy one-half of the lower floor, the other half being taken up by the locke: bath room, closets, ete.

Oct. 18.—Champion Jacob Schaeffer is in town., He got hore at 6 o'clock last night on the flving express from Cincinnati with his wife and Billy Catton. He went direct to Billy Sexton’s rooms at Brondway and Thirty-third street. Nobody but the old Comanche and a few intimato friends expected the champion, as it was gen- erally understood that he would not come until’ Sunday. The nows of his coming brought a erowd in a Jiffy. The champion looked in first class physi cal condition, He mentioned without the slightest trace of feeling toat he had scen from teiegraped reports that his rival, 7o Slosson, the coming match with brought him to town, was playing . billiards. He thought this meant great play at the match. Ha said _the report that he had changed his own style of play was true, “I havo been playing three cushion c agood deal lately” he said, ‘but I strengthened my game I think. I have given up the old riproaring gallery shots somewhat and have tried to cultivate the sure but somewhat less showy billiards that are con- sidered good generalship play. I have been taking £ood care of myse.f, 10o. “*L am decidodly in favor' of tournaments, Part of my errand here was, in_fact, to in- duce the players to sign before Slosson and I play the Chickering Hall match. My present ideq is 1o have a series of threo tourneys, oue hiere, one in Chicago and one in Cinel nati. These are the three most important billiard conters in America and the games are played so that the winner of the most games in all three tourn- eys shall win the omblem, and be declaved champion, then there will be no kickig. 1t will be a fair show all around for every ono. I think that Ives, Carter and Catton will go in even up as to terms with Slosson and 'myself with fourteen-inch balk line billiards.”” Shaefer said Tves was branching out am- bitiously in the billiavd world. “‘He has oponed a parlor. a block away from mine, and he s heis going to challengo for the cham- pionship and that ho is dead sure he can beat islosson. He will be red hot for the tourney scheme, you may depend upcn 1t.” roms REED PURCHASE. New Owner of St. Blaize Already an Object of Much Envy.

Dr. Hall the Well K slgns from the Dire NeEw Yok, Oct, 18.—Dr. John resigned from the directorate of tue Theological seminary, At the request of several of his fellow directors Dr. Hall bas congentod to remain with the board until November, when tue annual meoting of the hoard is to be held. At that time tho resig- nation will beucted upon. Until that time he will remain nominally 1n the board. Dr. Hall has long been greatly troubled on accouat of the Briggs matter, and his resig- nation was expected by the conservatives. One of the staunchest friends of Dr. Brigas is Dr. Hall's son, Thomas, & preacher in Chicago. Dr. Hall has been influcncea by his son’s attachment to Dr. Briggs. When the Briggs case came up in the presbytery last May, Dr. Hall, according to astatement printed today, avoidad voting by absenting bimseM from the meeting. - The Briges men elected him a commissioner to the genc assembly. Had he gone he would have been its moderator. He again oided committing himself by surrendering uis commission. Later when the case was discussed by the directors of the Union seminary aud action in defianco of the church taken, ho withdrew, 1t 15 stated, just as the directors were on the point of voting. After bis return from abroad Dr. Hall be- gan an efort to quiet the prosecution of Di. Briggs in tbe interest of peace and harmon in tho church. e mustered a strong v party. that would certainly have carri presbytery at its meoting two weeks ago ana stopped the trial of Dr. Briggs. Just as Dr. Hallarose in the presbytery to present his plan the floor wus securéd by young D Alexander, who presented an independent, peace proposition that had been coucocted by himself and Dr. Charles Thompson. The debate that followed was bitter. Dr. Hall was forced from his position, the rotl was cailed and his vote was cast against the compromise, As the Alexander motion was lost by & vote of 04 to 62, Dr. Hall's retire- ment was fatal. Followiug this meting of the presbytery Dr. Hail's purpose to leave the directorato of tho Union seminary was formed. A sp cial meeting of the directorate was held last Friday at Brown Bros. banking house in Wall street. It was attended by nearly ail the directors and Dr. Hall thero mada wnown tho fact of bis resignation. The speclal meoting was cailea to pre- paro for the conference on tho Briggs trouble with President Patton’s committee, appointed by the last general as- sembly for that purpose. The day agreed upon by Dr. Patton and President Butier was October 28, That date being so near av hand, and the quéstion of the seminary’s re- lation to the church so delicate, the effect of Dr. Hall’s resignation was greatly dreaded by the directors. Ho was persuaded to re- main with the seminary uutil after its con- ference with Dr. Patton’s committee and to have his resignation acted upon at a regular meeting of the board, Dr. Hall’s relationship to the Union semin- ary has been of long standing und of great value to the institution. He is not only pas- tor of the richest Presbyterian church in America, but ne Is a preacher of the greatest intellectnal power in the denommation. His fame abroad is greater than that of any other American preacher. His name in the Unioa seminary’s directorate gave tho school great prestige. For years his presence in the board of directors has beon'a shield to Dr. Briggs. Had it not been’ for' his assurance that tho professor’s instruction was not dangerous, action would have been bezun in the presby- tery ogainst Dr. Briggs years ago. A proliminary catalogue is aboutto be issued by the faculty. This gives the names of the students. The junior class contains fortv-three men, six less than last. year. Eight men are dropped out of the senior class, but_their places are taken by seven new seniors, The middlo ciass is about tho same as last year. Abouta dozen of the beneficiaries have been notified by the pr bytery to leave tho seminary on account of the Briggs trouble They have decided to remain, The deficiency in their supply of funds, cut off by their action, is being made #ood b7 one of " the wealthy dirvectors of the seminary. Dr. Hastings has received offers assisiance from many churches of tho United States for any student whose presby- ery should deser’ him at this tima, These, Dr. Hastings states, have all been declined, pwn Divine Re- rate, Hall has Union Ty ETTING MACHIN of a Successtul Test at Chicazo. Cimcaco, 1L, Oct. 15, —The private test of typesotting machines beld in the Chicago Iivening Post building, under the auspices of a committee of the American Newspapoer Publishing association, has been completed. "The test has been vory satisfactory in many respects, and the report of the committee will give newspaper publishers a definite idea as to the work which can be dono by the various machines, For threo liours during the forencon the machines were worked by members of the Typographicat union who had never before seen them, to show the capacity of beginners who were practical printers, and for threo hours in the afternoon they wers worked also by girls familinr with the Rem- mgton typewriter keyooard to ascertain what could be done upen the machines those who are suddenly called upon to operatu them, Al of noxt week the maci- ines will be on exhibition to newspaper pub- lishers and 1o the public and_indicgtions are that a large uumber of newspaper men from all parts of the United States will visit Chi- cago 10 see the mach nd also to inspect the coldgrocess of stereotyping, which will bo on exhibition also throughout the week, A meeting of the executive committes of the American Newspaper Pulishers association will be held in Chicago Monday October 19, Conclusior pretation of Quaver being funny in the ex- trome, Harry Crandall and Budd Ross contribute not u Jittle to the picasure of thoevening, the latter giving promise of a very roseate future in tho world of farce comedy, The young women 1n the company are comely und assist materially 1 bolping along the humor, A “drammer’’ of the real old-fashioned kind, lurld aod intensely exciting, aroused the enthusiasm of a thousand and Some odd people last evening at the Farnam streot theater.

Revolvers and knives play no incon- sequental part i the story. The plot hinges upon the dust covered motive of an innocent man wearing convict stripes for another's crime and ends in the inevitable pootic justico which rights that and sundry other wrongs and senas down the curtain upon the triumph of lnnocence. . There are several very meritorious people in the cast, notably Thowas Bridgeland, Alexander Randolph and Miss Martha Rudesill. Mr. A W.

Hubbard was the cen- tral figure in & group of centlemen at the Paxton last night. He will assist in repre- seating the great Lono Stur state in the commercial congress. Governor Huboard is. one of tho best known men in the south. He was consul to Japan during Cleveland’s administration. Ho is a man of great personal force and is orator of more than ordinary ability. The ex-governor tips tho beam at 279 pounds and appears to be a man of great mental and physical vigor. The question of deep water harbors m- terests the people of Texas,” said Governor Hubbard 1ast night to a BEr reporter. “and it interests ull these western and central states. What wo all need is more rapid and less expensive transportation for produco to the open sea. ‘“Ihe matter of reclaiming arid lands is another subject in which we ara_interested, but a very largo section of onr state hereto- fore supposed o be a barren desert, is being reclaimed by means of artesian wells. In the region of Waco and Dallas there arc some of tho most wonderful artesian wells in America, Some of them throw up hot water, enough to cook an egz. Other wells duce the clearest, purest water that gurgled from the bosom of the oarth. “A great deal of land that was supposed to bo utterly worthless becan:e as rich as the of thio Nile when the water was lot in upon'it. 1t is rich in mmeral saits and all it necded was water to make it fertile,” Was the First President. Mr. W. M. Fishback of Fort Smith, Ar who was president of the first commercial ngress held at Galveston, came in yoster- day. ¥our people are deeply interosted in the decp water question,”” said Mr. Pishback last night, “and we aro also interested in the opening of the Indian reservations and in the freo coinage of silvor.” Mr. Norris L. Gage of San Francisco is a dolegate present from the Pacific coast. He | said last night tnat_the fact that this meot- ing came so soon_after the Donver meoting might keop soma delegates away. The Pa- cific coast has never been ropresented in the congross before. Mr. Alva Adams of Pueblo was ono of tho tirst delegates to arrive. “There are enough topics on tho pro- gramme,” said Mr. Adams, “to keeo us talk- ing for three weeks. We never shall be able to dispose of that Iist of topics at this ses- sion. We Coloradoans aro interested in a number of the topics to be discussed, but tho questious of silver coinage and irrigation are of course the must nteresting to us.” Mr. Loe Burroughs of Houston, Tex., is another delegate already on the ground. “ust jot it down,” said Mr. Burroughs, “that 1 represent. tho bost town in Texas.’” Mr. S. M. Thompson of Duluth isat _ the Millard. o will take part 1 tho proceed- ings. § Wi itte ot Omaha. on order of ot ro- vor LOAN 5 forts Being Put Forth by the Wes- tern Art Association.
