These cars are divided into from three to five special trains, according to cir- cumstances, and the nature of the road, but in this case three trains answered the pur- pose and they arrived in Omaha long befor daylight, While the elght slecpers which carry the performers and otlier high caste members of tho outfit were switched on a sidetrack and the occupants left to have their sleep out the laborers had to begin the undertaking of moving the extensive paraphernalia to the show grounds at Twenty-first and Paul streets. Ordinarily this is a task that in- volves a perfect system and a sharp hustling all around, but in this case the circus peo- ple had twenty-four hours before them and they took it casy. The cages which contain the menagerie were hauled to the show grounds and one of the big tents stretched over them. Then the cooking and dining tents and the stables for the horses w raised on a vacant block two or three blocks from the show tents and the putting up of the immense circus tent with its accessories was left until later in the day. There was a constant stream that filed in and out around grounds all day. They were to the interior of the tents, stables and the dining tents the flaps were raised to let in the air, and the curlosity seckors had the satisfaction of inspecting the horses and secing the army of employes dispose of the midday meal. To the u ated this latter procedure was well worth s ing, Ringling Bros. carry over 800 people with them, and to see them all fed in less than an hour whera the only culinary ar- rangements are such as can be packed up and carted off on a minute’s notice s not an everyday occurrence. IN COOKING AND DINING TENTS. The hotel accommodations of the show consist of a cook tent or kitchen and two large dining tents. In the first all of the cooking is done, and done as well as at the average hotel. An imme refrigerator on wheels contains all the meats and other spoflablo articles. This is loaded up with about two tons of meat at once and this las for two or three days. It requires from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds of meat every day to feed the people and the animals.” Most of visitors the circus not admitted but at the of this {s beef and ‘pork, but the larder also affords bacon, hams and various other solid articles of diet. Unlike some big shows, Ringling Bros. purchase all their supplies along the route, instead of having them shipped to them from some central point A sufficient amount fs carried to guard against running short in small towns, but in Omaha enough supplies were purchased to partially offset the money that they will carry away tonight. Thirteen~ cooks are required the meals and twenty-two waiters to serve them. Besides the meat, the sumes cach day 450 pounds of bread, tion, The laborers who do the of putting up tents and properitie ing the outfit to and from the generaily blessed with and are not troubled by the scruples of the performers, who have to rigidly taboo such fo0d as is likely to unduly add to their ay- ordupols. hard work and haul- trains are The smaller dining tent is occupled by the Here are musicians and other performer: seats for 160 people, just enough so that all can eat at onca. This table Is only set once a day, as the patrons take their morning and evening meals at the train. The larger tent, which accommodates the laborers and other attaches, seats 340 people, and has to be set a second time beforo all are provided for. The food served is practically the same in both tents. ware is of china and the patrons are servel in individual dishes. Here there fs also a greater variety in the viands. The lces pretentious employes eat on agate ware, which 1s better adzpted to the rough usage which it receives, and the big dishes of meats, etc., are passed around instead of each customer being served separately. The noon meal answers the purpose of a lunch, and the grand dinner is served at night. This is not for the sake of style, but because the performers do not like to eat a hearty meal in the middle of the day, and in many cases, too, they do not get their breakfasts until late in the forenoon. Y terday the maln viands at the noon repast were beefsteak and ham and eggs, with a va- riety of side dishes equal to that which would be provided at an ordinary hotel, At the dinner later In the day roast beef and roast pork wero served, together with a soup course, mashed potatoes, stewed tomatocs, pickles, cheese, otc., and dessert. SOME FINE HORSEFLESH. One of the features of the show is the horses, of which thero are exactly 801, ex- clusive of the thirty Shetland ponies which are used In the charlot races and other spe- clalties, Of these, sixty are blooded animals for use in the ring, and the rcmainder are draught horses. It requires elghty-elght men to care for these animals, and their daily feed allowance conslsts of 120 bushels of oats, from 500 to 600 pounds of bran, twenty bush- els of shelled corn and four tons of hay. They occupy twelve sixty-foot stock cars in trans- portation and aro kept as fat and sleck as though the continual railroad travel agreed with them, Ll Ty HOMESEEKERS' EXCURSIONS SOUTH, Vin the Wabaxh Raflroad.

The work of army and that of St. Andrew's Brotherhood were auxiliary to the work of the church. In speaking of the need of religious worke:s out- side the regular channels of Christian work, Dean Gardner said that he was happy that fbur young men had that morning enrolled themselves as members of the St. Andrew's Mr. D. 8.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS ceCeeceootecorceeconece “And the government shall be upon his shoulder” was the text of Rev. Dr. Wheeler's sermon on “Ideal Citizenship” at the Presby- terian church yesterday morning, in the course of which he said: “The bible is a book of ideals, of which none is more significant than that of ideal government, built up and fostered by the ideal citizen. As American citizens we are heirs; we do now inherit the fruitage of labor, thought, prayers and patriotism of the blessed past, an aftermath of the survival of the best from the Christian faith and honest politics of our fathers. “Not one good thing ever came to enrich us from the saloon or the gambler or the bawdy house, and yet these evil powers lay claim to recognition as worthy to be contin- ed, and seek to intrench themselves and dic- tate the terms to every party whose course prophesies success, “The political revolt now in America is the protest of the morally dis- posed classes against the machine methods too often Introduced by political parties, by which the dishonest politician forces his way to the nomination and demands support by virtue of his nomination, rather than his fit- ness for office or his political integrity. “But a new star has arisen above tie hori- zon. It is the star of Christian citizen- ship, fashioned after the ideal citizenship taught in our text. It is the focal point for the rallying of the families of God's children. Without dispute or sectarian wrangle, Dr. McGlynn, Parkhurst, Palmer, Newman and Roosevelt lead on the hosts of God's children to settle for all ages the conflict of suprem- acy between citizenship and the saloon and the machine. “The church is becoming ashamed to vote the ticket made for it by persons without moral qualifications, and of singing ‘Bring Forth the Royal Diadem and Sell Him Lord and AlL’ “Oh, the old church will right herself and will come forth bright as the sun, fair as the moon and terrible as an array with banners, for the zeal of the Lord will perform it. The Christian citizen will ralse the average of politics by the addition of his own moral worth until he grasps the lofty conception of Christian citizenship and reigns with Christ on the earth in a government whose law shall be justice and purity forever. progress in To Test the Plumbing Ordinnnce. Dan Farral was arrested Saturday evening on a complaint charging him with violating the plumbing ordinance. Farral is a resident of the city and was employed as a laborer to dig a ditch for Dr. Glasgow at his new house at Twenty-third and N streets. The arrest was made at the instance of local plumbers, who want to test the ordinance in regard to plumbing. The ordinance provides that plumbers in order to do work in this city must be residents here. A row was started among the plumbers and Dr. Glasgow when the latter gave the work to be done on his house to an Omaha bidder. The Omaha man bid about $65 less than any of the South Omaha bidders. Then in order to get even with the Omaha man the local plumbers resurrected the old ordinance, which resulted in the arrest of Farral. Dick O'Keefe went on Farral's bond and the hear- ing of the case wili be held Tuesday. Dr, Glasgow said yesterday that he would fight the case to the end. He does not think that an ordinance which compels him to pay $6 more for work than is necessary will hold water in the courts. At any rate he pro- poses to find out and will stand by the men employed by him to do the work. Magle City Gossin.

The complainant {s Charles Alstedt, who I8 a nelghbor of Hunt, both living In West Side Alstedt has a horse which he permits to run at large, and which, it Is charged, has a de- cided predilection toward taking his prome- nades over the garden plots i) the neighbor- hood. He has shown a decided partiality for the garden around the Hunt residence, and Hunt says that he has done a large amount of damage to his garden truck. He further- more says that he has requested Alstedt to keep his horse under somo restraint, but that the request has not been complied with. Last Saturday Hunt was working in his garden when the horse came up, with the evident intention of getting something good to eat from amongst the growing vegetables. 1t was balked, however, in thie intention, for as £oon as Mrs. Hunt caught sight of it she captured it and placed it in the Hunt stab'e. As soon as Alstedt heard of this he went to the Hunt residence and made a demand for the horee, but Mrs. Flunt refused to give it up until the owner had pa'd for fome of tho damage that had been done, Alstedt refused to do this, and at once hurried to the police court and swore out a warrant for Hunt's ar- rest on the charge of horse stealing. e ¢§ AMUSEMENTS. § £CCECOCO0Ceceeaco! With the opening of the Pauline Hall en- gagement at Boyd's last night was marked the beginning of the fifth season of that popular house In its present location and of the fiftecnth consecutive year in which the name of James E. Boyd associated with the best class of Omaha amusements, Whatever more recent enter- prises may spring up, ambitious to share the fruits of those fiells of which the Boyd lLouses have been the ploneer occupants, nothing can shake the hold which they have had and still have upon the hearts of the great body of local theater goers, The large audience which night was actuated partly by these consider- ations and partly by regard for the ever adorable star which twinkled behind the familiar footlights. Miss Hall shows no fall- ing off in that beauty of face and comelines of figure for which she is always picuot neither is any marked deterioration apparent in her voice, although by reason of a slight hoarseness she did not appear to her usual advantage in this regard last night. Her sprightliness, however, her vivacity and un- failing charm of manner, her piquancy and grace of spee all are there in their wonted good measure, and she continues, as she has always been, a prime favorite. The reconstructed “Dorcas” glves M Hall an opportunity of displaying her versat ity by assuming three characters as widely diverse as a peddler boy, a lady of fashion and the feigned wife of a clownish innkeeper, in all of which she quite sustains her repu. tation. The piece, the action of which is placed in the latter part of the last century, shows the entanglements which result from the masquerading of two young people, who are designed by their friends for one an- other, and who take this means, quite legiti- mate for romantic ends, of making investiga- tions which they could not prosecute in their own proper persons. It Is enlivened with much pretty and catchy music, some of it original and other fudiclously selected, by Max Hirschteld, and music and dialogue are entrusted to the hands of a company not in- ferior to those which have supported the star in other seasons. Hugh Chilyers has a fine stage presence and a serviceable baritone voice, Edgar Temple Saylor a_pretty though light tenor, and Charles E. Bradshaw does really admirable work as Lubin. Of the ladies Misses St. Henry and Donaldson are pleasing to eye and ear and Miss Davenport contributes a powerful contralto and an ec- centric makeup to the ensemble, The plece is tastefully put on and richly costumed. The house orchestra was heartily applauded on its first appearance and did ex- cellent work, the presence of Franz Adel- mann being especially noticeable, The program which was distributed on this occasion, although not specially adapted for souvenir purposes, was neat and serviceable and well filled with advertisements, certain objectionable specimens of the latter which have a way of getting into theater pro- grams betng happily conspicuous by their absence. as been prominently embled last e The return of the Stapleton company for a week's engagement is an event which will afford more than an ordinary amount of pleasure to that portion of the public which likes to sce bright and clean comedy pre- sented by young, ardent and competent play Two exceedingly clover parformances were given yesterday at the Creighton of ‘‘Americans Abroad," a delightful play, which thus had a worthy Introduction to local play goers.

Leflang, Lexing | men | impre SEPTEMBER 9, ULPIT EDITORIALS REV. FRANK CRANE, Among Recent Books. 1: Novels—The first thing that will strike one who begins to study current letters predominance of the novel, This fs the typi- cal literature of today, just as that of yes- terday was the essay, and day before yester- day was the drama. In its beginning the novel was merely for amusement, with an occasfonal moral for a tail-plece, But it has now Invaded all, even the most serioas, fields of literature. We have novels, historical, scientific, theological and poiitical. it Is a sort of an age-end tendency to make all labor superfluous to the seeker after cul- ture. The kindergarten among the children and the linotype machine among the crafts- are other phases of the same pains-sav- ing trend in affairs; and even religion, waich used to be a matter to be worked out with fear and trembling, can now, in some con- venticles, be arranged for you while you walt. It is doubtless much easfer to take your dose of useful information in the cap- sule of fiction. It is a good deal pleasanter to read Doyle's “Micah Clarke” than to pick out the facts in the career of Monmouth from Macaulay's “England;"* Jules Verne's sclen- tific romances go far smoother than Tyndall's “‘Lectures on Heat;" it is rder to lay dow George Eber's “Nile Bride” than Wilkinson's or Rawlinson’'s descriptions of Egypt; and “Ben Hur"” is vastly morc “'spell-binding” than Bdersheim's “Sketches of Jewish Social Life.” But for all this, the novel, although useful, is both a partial and a dangerous in- structor., It is partial, because, at best, it can only give us an impression. Now, while a vivid on is indispensable, both as a mor- dant to facts and a tonic to sympathy, it can never take the place of hard study. There is no royal rcad to geometry, as Buclid re- marked to Ptolemy. Herein lies the danger. Novels are like stimulants. It is a question whether the alleged good they do is not overbalanced by the bad. They will be read, however, maugre the preachers. So the best thing we can do sist that they bo made an occasional hment and not a steady diet. A novel- soaked mind is little better than a beer- soaked body In rd I am not of thos say that the former days are bet ter than these. This Is the age of novels, d the men and women at work at the busi- ness of writing them are doing better, as a rule, than their predecessors. The writer of fiction today has a public that is more crit- ical and competent than ever it has been be fore. For all that, if ono were to ask me what new novel to read this year, I should in quire: “Have you read the oid ones?” No one ought to open a book of late fiction until he has read all of the works of that matchless quaternity of story tellers, cott, Dickens, Thackeray and El'ot. It Is feared that many in search of light reading for a summer day have lovked earnestly through the slough of late stories, not remembering that perhaps on the top shelf of thelr library at home they have these unrivalled entertainers of an idlo hour. ; The four most popular works of fiction of the day are Du Maurier's “Trilby,” Doyle's “Sherlock Holmes,” Hope's “Prisoner of Zenda” and Maclaren's “Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush.” “Trilby” is a much overrated book. The most that can be said for it is that it Is an exquisite plece of literary fooling. The plot is far fetched, and the treatment only escapes being meretricious by being, as our friend Chollie would say, so “tremendously swel It strikes one as very much like the Ferris wheel, built merely to give a new sensation. There Is just enough hypnotism in it to make it fin de’siecle; enough Frenchiness to give it the proper naughty flavor, and enough lit- erary skill to save the whole from infant damnation. Conan Doyle has written but one volume that is moldy and unhealthful, “The Firm of Girdlestone,” and ono that is mediocre, *‘Be- yond the City.”” His historical nove!s, “The White Company,” “Micah Clarke” and “The Refugees,” are beyond praise, and form his most valuable contribution to the literature of the race. The Sherlock Holmes series is a delightful and almost perfect exhbition of true story writing. They stand with Charles Reade’'s works as strong examples of pure fiction, Anthony Hopa Is an author with an in- dividuality. He has a new style; it Is a good one, and in the “Prizoncr of Zenda™ it is seen in its perfection. In this story the writer shows some of that artless art of nar- rative that is the indescribable charm of Rob- ert Louls Stevenson, and a creative original ity of fancy that, as far as it goes, s ejual to anything in Dumas. It is, as every tale ought to be, an account of the noble deeds of a noble man and presents a deft penciling of the true chivalry that lies about s in this present world. That such a volume as “Beside the Bonnle Briar Bush” has attained a great popularity ugh to make any man glad a human boing and enough make a Christlan . thank ~ God that the heart of our civilization is still sound.

Teosinte euchlaena luxurians, .a gigantic gramina of Central America, somewhat re- sembling Indian corn, but having much broader and larger lcaves, and the s'alks con- taining much sweeter fap, was planted by H. 8. Westbrook, near Dunbar, this spring Mr. Westbrook has experimented with this great fodder plant in every way. Planted April 27, the growth was exceedingly slow until warm weather set in, when the growth and shoots grew very fast. The April plant- ing has now sixty-five stalks seven feet high, all from one seed. Mr. Westbrook made an- other planting May 24 of one scad to the hill, and has fifty-two stalks six and one-half feet high to the hill. It will be noticed that there is only a difference of thirteen stalks be- tween the April and May plantings. He also planted in_the spring two seeds to a number of hills. These plantings were unsuccessful. While the growth attained the same helght, there were only half the number of stalks, hence Mr. Westbrook figurcs he would have gotten just as much teosinte had he planted but one seed. This fodder plant withstood the frost of May equally as well as Indian corn, only a stalk here and there fre:zing. The most successful plants were those four to six feet apart. The leaves carry all the molsture within their reach directly to the roots. After a shower the ground Is dry for quite a distance as far as the leaves reach, while the roots are very wet. Thoze who use a great deal of fodder in the fall will find the plant worth investigating. shown at the state fair, —_— Drs.
