Many of the churches held special services during the day and at some of them appropriate entertain ments have been prepared for the in The attendance was in muny cases lessen by the rigor of the outside air, but the service of praise was none the less smcere and the miore serious observances of the day svere in no wa7 neglected, It was the usual oceasion for the reunion of families and in nearly every houschoid the turkey, with its wealth of stufiing and cranberry sauce, reigned sipreme. But there were those whose Thanksgiving found them in adversity and want. There were houscholds where the day was no occasion for mirth and where nard times had made havoc with the family fortunes, and where th only source of joyousness was in the recollections of better days. 1y such fumiies as these that of tho charitably disposed of sut the materials for a substan- tial dinner. More potent in the omnipotent vision th yer or hymn, the charity that sidered the misfort of others made 1y & happy Thanksgiving in Omaha to- us! ] ity the city bro Charitaple Organizations, If anything was said in heaven yesterday t the doiugs of Omaha people the con- sation was probably with reference to the Thanksgiving work and the thank-producing work done by the charitablo organizations of the city. the result of their endeavor was that hundreds of needy and_sick people ad a dinner such as, in bounty and tooth , they had nov had in a year at nd 'such a one as some of them proo- able never bad in all their lives. A visit to the old City Mission chapel on Tenth street yesterday revealed a signt caleulated to create not only sympathy with the hard lot of the poor, but pride as well, in the isposition of the citizens of Omaha to respond to the needs of those whose mi fortunes make organized charity a necessity. In & large front room were hundreds of men. women tnd children of ali colors and in ali of shabbiness with empty baskets aud s, which they were waiting in turn to have filled. ~As fast as possible they filed into a rear room, where were piled all sorts of provisions and where Mrs. Jar- ding, Mrs. Alquist, Mrs. Bowman, Mrs. Hamer and Messrs.' Lindsay and Laughlin were kept as busy as their kind hearts prompted in flling the baskets. From the building extended a continuous line of people carrying plenty, at t for one day, to homes habitually destitute. A large part of these provisions were collected in the pasy few days at tho Omaha schools. or instance, the pupils of the Lake school contributed, asa part only of their donation, eleven sacks of flour. This is not said to give especial credit to sthat school, but only to show on what a large scale all the schools contributed. The Swift and the Cudahy packing houses of South Omaha sent up 1,200 pounds of beef, and most of the stores in the city liberally. Mr. Jardine, who was also pr us he usually is when anything of the kind is going on, svoke with much appreciation of the g ity of the citize of the city generally. *“I'here is mor ndnessand magnanimity among the people of Omaba than any one dreams of,” said he, Many of those abplying for assistance told pitiful stories of want and suffering and sickness. Mrs. Jurdine said that two of the things most nceded by the chaiity organizations just now were milk and beef tea,or the money 10 buy them, for the s any poor, sick people are dying for the luck of just these things. At Kescue hall, in tho chapel, gospel and praise services were held at 9:30 yesterd- rning and continted until that hour last evening. At theft opening avout fifty persons were present, and the hall contained about this number ali day long. The services were under the auspices of the Railroad Temperance association, and were con ducted by Mrs. Miller, a Methodist deaconess, who had _especial charge ot this kind of work. At 12:15 a diner was served to all comers in the dining hall, at which thirty gallous of soup and _any quantity turkey, chicken and pies, with cnough coffee for all, were served. More than 100 sat at the tables, which were presided over by Mrs, 12d Dickinson and Mrs. Stanton At both Rescue Hall and the City Mission chapel were large supplies of clothing, but those in attendance had all they could do in giving out provisions, and the distribution of clothing was deferred to another time, A eoup dianer was scrved at the head urters of the ted Charities at ith aod Howard streets For the 4 At the Nebrasia Hon Twenty-seventh of d Poor, > for the Aged Poor, nd Decatur streets, about 11:0 yesterduy the superintendent, Mrs. Shinn, was very busy overseeing the pr tions for o suniptuous dinner for the iy of the institution.

Beyond tbe mngnificent spreads in_the dinine rovms the hotels made no effort The tables were more laborately dressed than is usual, and in_many of the dining rooms cut flowers and tropical plants were displayed in taste profusion.

There i, how nearer M. cating as imate dr or. something that is much Downing's heart than prognosti- to_the future of the legitimate stage: he s about to add “Samson” to his repertoire, Denver having been chosen for its premicre. Story of Samson. The story of Samson, the physical giant and undaunted hero who ruled over Israel for twenty years, is told in four short chap- ters in the Book of Judges. This briet epit- ome of a life of activity and of final disaster through the wiles of a’ wicked woman, con- tains a rm of a human tragedy of deep significanc Realizing its dramatic im- portance the Ttalian actor, Tommaso Salvini, while at the height of his popularity in Nuples, engaged the voct, Inpolite d’Aste, to ave it into a tragedy for him. The work s one of striking conception, rich in noble e aud of incontestible scientific effective It became popular in It duced into this country by Salvini in and again in 1850, durmig his_frst and 1ast tours of the United States. The rights to the play were secured by Mr. Downing, who was not slow to see the intrinsic value of the i worth to him as a heroic t Downing has been in possession for some time of a fine transla- tion of the play and has given it much thoughit and syidy. Ho has been unwilling to rush_before the public with an immature conception of the character of Samson, the more so from the religious side by which it appeals to a large body of the public. After uis first study of the play he therefore laid it aside to give his ideas time to stalize and perfect themselves. He now fecls that he is prepared to come before the people with the results of his study, and he will produce “Samson” in Denver during the weels of December 4, and the result of his long study aud laborious ‘research will be watched with great interest by thousands of theatergoers the country *1 havé made some s of two or three of the a not to destroy the text,” suid the tragedian last evening. “The scene in which Samson is shorn_of his locks, made prominent by vini, 1 have chminated, leaving the cut- ting process to the imagination. The curtain goes down on the strong man in all his deur, it rises on the weakhng whose neth passed with tne ruthless act of pro- tion. Thelast act, the destruction of the temple of Dagon by the biind old judge, who thus avenges in his own death the wrongs done him by his enemics, will be given an_ cspecally fine setting, with o realistic mechan imitation of the falling str Instead of encircling the immense pillars with the arms as Salvini gives the scene I have accepted Dore's idea and will push the pillars from me as tho artist has pictured the great event, believing that it will be more amatic and at the same time more in cousonance with the mauner in which Sam- son wrought out his vengeance.” Mr. Downing is well fitted by physique, voice, mental bias and artistic training for the role, and so httle doubt is there of tne result that he has arranged to set aside all other plays in his repertoire cxcept the “Gladiator” for the rest of the scason and these two for the balunce of his 1 the endings cts, although careful Celebrated His Wooden Wedding.

One served as a supervisor of registration and the other as a judge of clection, The former earned §15 and the latter €. Both were in financial straits and the councilman accommodated them by accepting an assignment of their claims and advancing the money. A couple of days ago he received the war- rauts and presented them at the urer's office for payment. Deputy Coulter, always obliging and accommodating, and especially when there is an opportunity to shave a” warrant for personal delinquent es, was at his best when the warrants were presented. He scanned the personal tax roll, found both of the parties were d linquents and said “Thank you, Mr. Bruner,”” at the same time stamping the warrants as paid and giving the two citizens to whom they wero issued credit for the amount in Dersonal téxes, Mr. Bruner, it is needless to remark, was completely crushed.
