The city council will hold a meeting this evening and will probably take some definite action with reference to the petition of the Wizard Telephone company for a franchise At 9 o'clock this morning the councilmen will hold a meeting of the committee of th whole and talk over the changes in the or. dinance introduced at the last meeting which were asked for by W. H. Ware In behalf of the company. So far as can be learned the council is not dispored to make any of the changes re- quested, with the possible exception of that with relation to the length of the franchises Some of the councilmen concede that t years Is a rather short time for a company to live, particularly when a good share of its capital must be secured by the sale of bonds. A twenty-year franchize would enable the bonds to bring a higher price, and they arc disposed to grant the favor to the extent of an_extra five years. On the other hand, it is urged that the or inance contalns no provision for the city recelving a pecuniary benefit from the com- pany’s operations, and this should have a ten- dency to oftset the disadvantage of having a ten year lease of life. In many cities franchises are bought by companies for a percentage of the profits, but Council Bluffs has not yet joined the procession. If the Wizard company should consent to this sort of an arrangement there is not much doubt that they would procure any reasonable con- cessions from the city they might want.

The city Is likely to run up against a snag in its efforts to knock out the plans now being 1ald for the establishement of a road from the east bank of the Missouri to con- nect the South Omaha ferry with the land south of Manawa. Instead of being owned by farmers the land over which this road is likely to be laid is in the name of C. S. Lefferts, and he is said to be entirely will- ing to have the road put in. Mention has been made of the suit now pending in the courts of Sarpy county, Nebraska, betwe:n Lefferts and the Manhattan Beach Improve- ment company over the possession of all the Jand south of Manawa on which the bathing houses stand. Mr. Lefferts’' claim is based on the same sort of foundation as the suit which was decided by the United States su- preme court some time ago involving the ownership of Cut-Off island. 1f the result of thig trial is the same as in the other case, it can readily be seen that Mr. Lefferts has a falr show of being some time the proprietor of the bath houses and pavillons, and he Is consequently keeplng half an eye open for the welfare of the beach. The sult now pending will be tried at the October term of district court at Paplllion. The demurrers filed by the Beach Improvement company to Left:rts’ petition were recently overruled by Judge Ambrose and that leaves the case open for a trial on its merits.

The Intercst has been such that it has been determined to lengthen the serle by week. Every night this week meet- ings will be held in the Broadway Methodist church, in order that the residents of the that has been accorded those in the western. The discourse last evening was an uncom- monly interesting and powerful one, dealing with the relations of parents and children to one another and to the cause of Christianity. He sald he would far rather see a boy be- come a Christian In the morning of life, and both body and soul, than see an old man, whose sun of life was about to set, tarn over a new leaf and give to the Lord a body that had been devoted all his life to the service of Satan. He believed in encourag- ing children in their searchings after truth He could not see how a woman who was not & Christian could take the responsibility of bricging up a family of children. He could think of nothing better than for a woman to grow old with a Christian family about her “If your boy comes to you and wants fo know about the bible or Christlanity, glve him a mother’s kiss and help him all you can.” There 1s a society higher than what you call the highest society, and that Is the soclety of Christian character. If the young women of the nation would determine not to associate with young men of bad habits we would see a wonderful uplifting of so- ciety. And in the young men there Is enough energy to carry the nation for Christ. They excel in business, in athletics, and all other walks of life, and why should not their in- fluence be felt in the Christian church? And yet only 10 per cent of the people of the ccuntry are found in the churches, and even less than that proportion of young pevple We leave the towns and are soon swallowed up in the cities. There Satan sets all his traps for the young men, knowing that when he gets them he will get the fathers, the husbands, and the homes of the nation. “In response to God’s invitation the man says he will come soon. The average man knows what is right and wants to do it, but lacks courage. He tries to fix himself up with a few good habits, when God wants to cover him up with the cloak of his own righteousness, which alone is acceptable in his sight.” Mr. Plerson closed his sermon with an appeal to fathers and mothers to train their children in the principles of Christianity, for it is impossible to expect that the children will choose them when the see thelr parents, whose lives they take as their models, so backward about accepting them. He then went to the Broadway Methodist church, where a_service of song had been in pro ress under the direction of F. T. Johnso At both places after meetings were held, at which considerable interest was manifested. save A GRAND 00 POL1ONITY, Never Before Were We In a Position to Offer Such Values as We Are Now.

COPENHAGEN, April 20.—(Special Corre- spondence.)—1 have heard it said that Den mark possesses but three immortal names, ycho Brahe, Bertel Thorvaldsen and Hans Christian Andersen. 1 will not venture to say how far this is true, but T do know that there are many other names that shine in art, letters, science, Statesmanship, names revered by Europe, if not by the young west What shall we do with Madrig, the prince of Latin scholars; with Orsted, the original in- ventor of the telegraph; with Bloch, the painter? In proportion to its size (Denmark is no larger than the state of Maryland), this little country has even a remarkably long list of gilt-edged names. But of them all, Thorvald the most widely known and stands almost alone on his pinnacle, he named “the Phidias of the north.” Born about 1770, in the home of a poor Ice- lander wood carver in Copenhagen, he seemed to begin life under the least favorable con- ditions imaginable. But the child watched the growth of the wooden figure heads under his father's rude, patient hands. He grew up among the statues, though of mean, per- ishable wood. What wonder, then, that the ambition of his genius selected the strong white marble for its interpreter? He was only a little boy when he took to correcting his father's work, and when he was a lad of 17 he won the first of the four prize medals awarded to him by the Danish Academy of Arts. In 1 sculpter went to Italy, ani in , reached Rome; here, with thc exception of a visit to Copen. hagen in 1819, and one in 1838-41, he spent his life until his final return to Denmark, two years before his death. The first few years in Italy Thorvaldsen's works consisted mostly in copies from the antique, but in 1800 he modelled a Jason, which, however, he destroyel next year. But from the ruins of the broken one arose a ne Jason, one of the masterpleces of art. It Is interesting to know that in poverty and de- spair, Thorvaldsen was about to leave Rome forever and return home, when the English- man, Sir Walter Hope, came into his studio just in time to purchase the Jason and save the young man from going on board the ship. Thorvaldsen died suddenly in 1844, while attending a performance at the Royal theater at Copenhagen, having previously bequeathed to his native town all his models and art treasures, en is, 1 believe imired, for he Well s THE MUSEUM. One of the chief points of interest at the capital s situated on the bank of the canal, adjacent to the mow ruined castle of Chris- tiansborg. In front stretches a railed-in plece of ground, planted with trees and shrubs. The building, erected by the cum munity of Copenhagen through subscription, was begun in 1839 and completed in 1848, under the direction of the architect Bindes- boll. In its appearance is. expressed its des- tination, as the mausoleum of the great sculptor, the architectural style being bor rowed in part from qld Egyptian and Gre:k sepulchral bulldings. ' The outward appear- ance Is not very striking; indeed, I think it is rather an ugly building, a plain quadrangle with a large court in the center. Across one end, leading to the four doubl> doors, stretch:s a wide stone staircase. Framing these doors are some very ugly cblique lines that to my mind spoil the whole facade. But over the entranc> is a very fine bronze group, Victory reining up her quadriga, the goddess from a sketch and one of the harses from a model left by Thorwaldsen, the remaining horses from models by V. Blssen, another emin:nt Danish, sculptor. On the three other outside walls Is rep- resented in divers colored cement Thorwald- sen’s arrival at Copehag n in 1838, when, after an absence of eighteen years, he re- turned in a vessel sent out for a great part of the works destined for his muscum. In my opinicn these quaint life-size frescoes do much tc redeem the unornamental style. There Is a spacious vestibule containing models of colossal statues, but the entrance now used is on the side. Around the court stretch the corridors, and outside of these, on the side and at the back, are the rooms for the statues and reliefs. There are two storles, the lower containing the statues and mod th> upper chiefly the paintings and collec- tions belonging to the sculptor. In the bas:- ment are his casts from the antique and a few of his belongings. What the exterior lacks in ornamentation the decorations of the interior atone for. The floors are of mosaic, yellow, black, white and a dull red. The suites of small room at the sides and back are very odd, resem- bling ancient tombs, the walls being alter- nately brown, ochre or Pempeian red, with unreli-ved black bordors, and the ceilings are profusely and daintily decorated In fresco and stucco work. Some of the designs are borrowed from antiques, others are copied from Thorwaldsen’s works. The cellings are viry beautiful and delicate, some in white and pale gray, others in cream with paintings in colors; still others pale blue and white. On one is depicted the story of Psyche, from rellefs by Thorwaldsen; on others are fan- tastic figures and flowers. The openings from one room to another are close to the outer wall; the light comes from a window h'gh up. I canot imagine any better setting for the clear white marble than thes: dull, in themselves ugly, colors. They glve an air of freshness of life to the white stone. THORWALDSEN MODELS. In the great vestibule are placed the models for the series of monuments Thor- waldsen executed at various times. The colossal statues of Nicholaus Copernicus and Prince Joseph Ponlatowski at Warsaw, Schiller at Stuttgart, Gutenberg at Mainz Pope Plus VIIL in ‘St. Peter's church at Rome, Maximillan I., elector of Bavaria, and Eugene, duke of Leichtenberg, at Munich, keep the name of the grea* Dane fresh in the memory of Europe. These works are all fine, but I do not like them half so well as the smaller statues, probably because, modelled for large open spaces, they lose their effect in the crowded hall. However, one cannot but admire them, especially Maximilian and Ponlatowski on horseback. 1 have never seen any horses 80 superbly modelled as these huge, prancing creatures,” Veins and muscles seem to show through the marble skin. Here are also some busts and a number of reliefs. Among these latter are the models for the four reliefs that adorned the portal of Christiansborg, representing Her- cules recelving the drink of immortality from Hebe, Hygela feeding the serpent of | Aesculaplus, Minerva endowing with a soul the man formed by Prometheus, and Nemes!s reading to Jupiter the deeds of men. Under the ceiling is the ‘model for a beautiful frieze, The Triumphal 'Entry of Alexander the Great Into Babylop, which is in the Quirinal palace at Rome. When Thorwaldsen presented to his coun- try all his models, ft was with the under- standing that they' were to be hewn in marble, and 80 most of them have been, after which the plaster models are placed in the corridors. “But there are still many remaining, as the aboye mentioned monu- ments, the Baptist and Christ groups, and some of the statues. - It seems to me a great pity, for I confess I cannot wholly enjoy a statue whose high lights are a soiled gray, and whose dirty, unwashable ce has collected the duts of more than half a century. A MASTERPIECE. But in spite of this objection I have en- joyed few pleces of statuary so greatly as the group, or rather series of statues, repre- senting John the Baptist preaching. This labors under the disadvantage of being placed in a narrow corridor not effectively lighted, but it can bear even this. 1 have stood gazing at the group as It appears in m over the entrance to Our Lady's chul there it is at too great a helght to be appreciated. 1 consider the John the tist a far greater work than the famous Christ—it is more living, more expressive. He is not represented as a calm, peaceful saint, but as & mortal, a dreamer, a man who suffers under the fire of the passion that filis his life. He stands there, strained, emaclated yet muscular, his haggard face h, Bap- with the big hollow eyes turned toward the beavans, whither his meager right hand | very low. MAY 13. 1895. He leans on a staft in the form of cross. His long hair fs tagled and un- kempt, his ragged beard is matted, he has no garment save the hide of some wild beast He preaches to the listening people and his face glows with a prophetic light. 1t Is an enthusiast, almost a fanatic, who stands there, but above all it is a human being. It is hard to withdraw one's eyes from the figure. On both sides are figures and groups in listening attitudes. One old man sitting on a rock is particularly fine, there Is a critical, thoughtful frown on his wrinkled face. There is & young boy with a sweet, attentive look on his child face, leaning forward to catch the inspiring words; a strong, bearded man, who eagerly drinks in the sermon; two Pharisees that scowl angrily in a baffled’ sort of way at the bold speaker a beautiful young woman with a babe at her knee, who listens with lifted head and parted lips. It is a group never to be forgotten Near-by is the model for the Lion Lucerne, hewn in colossal relief in the side of a rock near Lucerne, in memory of the Swiss fallen in the revolt at Paris, August 10, 1792, The huge animal I8 repre- sented stretched on the ground, bleeding protecting with his dying body the shield of France carried out Far inferior to the Baptist group scems to me the Christ and apostles that, hewn marble, adern Our Lady's church. The models, with those for the baptismal font and several rellefs, are placed by themselves in a large room at the museum. The Christ stands with his arms outstretched, looking down at the congregation. I do not like the statue very well. It seems to me there is too little soul in the face. It is dignified and regular, ¢+nd very calm and gentle, but it lacks inspiration, it is not the real Christ What is beautiful is the Angel of Baptism Kneeling, it holds out the font in the shape of a shell. The serenity that seems too un- broken In the face of the Christ fits per fectly the sweet angel figure. It is so pure and spiritual In the first of the suites are two statues, Ganymede filling the cup, and presenting it filled. They are very beautiful, but it seems to me that most of Thorvaldsen's youths are a little too effominate, too correctly classical, too pe fect. I enjoy so much looking at them, but retain no distinct characteristic. I prefer faces a little less lovely and more individual On the walls of all the rooms are different reliefs and busts are placed in the corners under the windows. CUPID AND PSYCHE. In the next room, seen against the red background, is @ group, Cupid Psyche reunited in heaven. Affection they stand, with arms interlaced, a picture of complete happiness, But again 1 have this objection that, excepting for the coiffure, it is difficult to tell which is the youth's and which is the maiden’'s head, so alike are they in their ideal beauty One cannot but marvel at the wonderful drapery Thor- valdsen cut from the hard stone. From the waist of the Psyche it falls in clinging folds—one sees the rounding curves of her limbs through the soft stuff. It Is dificult to comprehend that a chisel produced it. Around on the walls are reliefs telling the story of the lovers, dainty bits of pictures. The three Grace: in the third room—with two or three exceptions, each room contains only cne statue or group—I find somewhat weak. They are very beautifully sculptured, but they sem a trifle watery compared with the Hope, or Dancing Girl. 1t is not that they are sensuous, nothing can be farther removed from all sensuality than Thorvald- sen's works; it Is hard to say just what it is; maybe it is only a fancy. ~But neither the Graces nor the Venus reach my expectations. The Venus with the apple is probably the most famous of all, but this too impressed me as lacking fomehow the human element. But if any plece of sculpture is perfect, absolutely perfect, it s this Venus. Thorvalden is a master at picturing Cupids. All around one sees the love god in different attitudes. In the same room as the Venus are a series of reliefs and scattered through the building are statues of the child Cupid. The Cupld with the lyre is especlally very beautiful. It seems marvellous that the strong hand that carved the great Jason could so daintily represent the sweetness of childhood. But Thorvaldsen's genius was very versatile and very prolific. Among the statues I most admire is the one of “Georglana Russell.” The chubby, naked baby fisure seems to live, save for Its whiteness, The little face Is so sweet and Innocent, looks out so trustfully at the world. T think it is one of the loveliest of Thorvaldsen’s works. Likewise, I am fond of a little dancing girl, a slim, frail creature with dreamy, thoughtful eyes. She lacks the ripe beauty of the other women in this galaxy; she is only a bud, a child beginning to think the thoughts of a woman, but there is something so simple and guileless, 5o pa- thetic almo:t in the small, thin face and figure. -1t is full so full of soul. I love it dcarly, much more than the beautiful Graces or the perfect Venus. Two other statues that contain this same element of simplicity are a dainty little Hebe with a cup poised in her hand and the God- dess of Hope. The Hebe is very pretty and maidenly, only are her features a little cold. Here one wonders again at the marvelous, clinging drapery that outlines the body so ftly. The Goddess of Hope (from the an- ent Greek model) is also represented as a young maiden. In her right hand she holds out a flower, while with the left she lifts her drapery as she dances lightly out. There is a far away, happy smile on her lips, a placid content in her vizage. It is very lovely! WORLD-FAMED RELIEFS. Here are the world-famous reliefs, Night with her children, Sleep and Death; and Day —Aurora with the Genlus of Light. Both are winged angels speedirg through the air. One carries in her arms two slumbering babes, her own queenly head bowed low. Her hair is twined with poppies, an owl flies by her side. There is rest and peace in the drooping head, In the wonderful floating drapery. Aurora is glorious in her spirited vigor. Her outspread wings beat the air as she sweeps forward, strewing flowers, fol- lowed by the Genius of Light, a bright cherub with his torch held aloft. ' Indeserib- ably heavenly are the two angel figures. Without a doubt, one of the very greatest is the statue of Jason. Naked, with a helmet on his head and a lance on his shoul- der, he proudly carries on his arm the golden fleece. His upper lip curls a trifle haughtily, there Is a corsciousness of youth and vigor in the splendid, sinewy body. It looks springy and elastic even in marble. In the Jason is combined perfect vigor with per- fect strength. On the walls of this room are two superb reliefs, Brisels led away by the heralds of Agamemnon, and Priam supplicating Achilles for the body of Hector. The despair of Achilles s finely depicted. He almost writhes In grief and rage, bis hands clenched end his face turned away from his sorrowful love as she is ltd away. In the other he is shown at his wor:t, refusing the prayer of the aged, stern, as he delights in his power. small piece shows Achilles with the slain amazon, Penthesilea. Her slender, dead body is slung across his knee as he feels for the beating of her heart. His powerful might contrasts sharply with her fragile weakness The Mars I do not like. He seems tco coarse and brutish in his animal strength, and I can not rid myself of the idea that hit head is too small and flat and his brow too ot of small rooms dull and 1y A third The Vulcan is majestic, and there is a handsome young Mercury resting carelessly on the stump of a tree, free and easy A statue of the Princess Barlatiuska 1s Beecham's pills are for bilious. ness, bilious headache, dyspep- sia, heartburn, torpid liver,diz- ziness, sick headache,bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, loss of appetite, sallow skin,ete,, when caused by constipation ; and constipation is the most frequent cause ofall of them., Go by the book.

In classical | drapery stands the tall woman, lost in | thought, one hand raised to her chin. It is this hand especlally that o excites the gen- eral admiration. The more one gazes at it, the more living does it become, until one wonders If it can be stone; muscles, veins, sinews are plain, rounded like life. It is wondrous. In a large room are two magnificent works, a lion couching, proud, dignified, and Byron, the latter fn marble at Cambridge, He is seated In a large chalr, with his pen at his lips and “Childe Harold" in his hand. It fs a noble portrait of the young poet The Adonis {s beautiful and graceful, with an_indolent, careless expression. But for neither this nor the Ganymede feeding the eagle do I care much. 1 prefer by far the portrait statue of Prince Waldimir Potockl There Is a vigorous energy in the figure that both the classical youths lack WAR AND PBACE Tn the same room is a rellef prompted by Thals to set on at Persepolis. When the sun shone through the narrow window and touched the veined marble it made the stirring martial picture m like life. There is a warlike breath in this relief that set one back to the ancient, cruel times The “‘Shepherd Boy" is one of my special favorites. He s seated on a rock with his dog at his side, looking dreamily far away He ls 8o young and innocent, and he s bullding his castles in the clouds, thinking the thoughts and dreaming the dreams that are half the life of childhood. One must think of a blue summer day, with | white clouds fleeing from the wind, green meadows and scattered flowers, There is a serene peace In the statue, an uncon sciousness of self, a vague dawn of thought that makes one hold one's breath and gaze in rapi silence The master Alexander fire the palace with Thorvaldsen himself, stands not far away. He is clad in a working blouse and leans against the unfinished statue of the Goddess of Hope. It is a tall, pow- erful figure with a massive head overhung with long locks of soft hair. When I first looked on the face 1 thought it stern, but soon I read the gentleness behind the firm mouth _and the genial expression about the eves. What a pity the light of the eye Is lost in sculpture, that it must ever be cold and dead! As it is, one can see that the eyas were kind and serious, the oyes man who, great himself, could judge mildly of others. Among the multitude of busts Thorvaldsen executed are those of the Danish minister, A. P. Bernstorff, Count von Moltke, Sir | Thomas Maitland, Louis I of Bavaria, | Napoleon I., Sir Walter Scott, Lord Czar Alexander I, the Danish King erick VI, Christian VIIL and Frederick VIL., the Danish poets, Adam Oehlenschbager and Ludwig Holberg and Prince Clemens Met- ternich, whose handsome, energetic young face strikes one forcibly. In one treasured room are collectel in glass cases all the first-class models of the statues It seems very strange to see the crude em- bodiment of the thought as the master first conceived it. It brings one nearer to his meaning, and one conceives his greatness than the most finished statues. On the second are, besides some of works Thorvaldsen's collections of paintings by contemporary artists, antiquities, coins, medals, gems, vases and a few of his casts for the antique, including the Apollo, Venus di Medici and Apollino. Here are likewise his books, mostly on art and mythology, the furniture of his parlor, an old clock and several busts and poriraits of himself by various artists. Among the pictures that fill the rooms on one side of this story are not a few portraits of the sculptor, several from his youth and early manhood being hardly recognizable now, so used is one to think of him as the white haired, old man. In one picture we find him in a Roman osteria, among merry brother artists. But that which Horace Vernet representing him at work on the bust of the latter. The blue eyes and white hair of this picture are famillar to all Danes through the medium of numberless copies and photographs.
