t THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1902 24, INSTALL 1TS NEW PASTOR Oastellar Presbyterian Ohursh the Soere of an Iapressive Ceremony, REV. WALTER S, REYNOLDS IN CHARGE Presbytery of Omaha Cements Bond Retween the People Preacher Who is to Be Thelr Leader. The impressive ordination service of the Presbyterfan church was observed last evening, when the presbytery of the city of Omaha assisted in the Installation and formal ordination of Walter S. Rey- nolds as the new pastor of the Castellar Street Presbyterian church. The services were very largely attended by members ot the churoh: Seated upon the rostrum were the pi tors of the ehurches of that denomination in this efty. ‘Rev. Danfel Grieder of the First German Presbyterian church presided as medekator and opened the installing exerclses with an Invocation. Rev. A, 8. C. Clarke of the Lowe Avenue church read the scriptures, after which Rev. Rob- ert ‘L. Wheeler, D. D., pastor of the South Omaha Presbyterian church, preached the installation sermon. He took for his subject “The Beginaing and Ending of Right Character,” and for his text Hebrew 11:25. He pointed out the fact that true and righteous Mvin, are characterized and resultant trom three facts, choosing, striving and enduring In the Christian religion. The true beginning of right character {s the right cholce. There I8 a transitory pleasure in sin, but its end is destructive. In these days it s too easy, he admonished hls congregation, to forget and find that we are worshiping in & lavender water religion, and that our Christianity is but imaginary. No Amer- fcan born will deny that there is a Christ, he sald, though the masses of the Ameri- cans say there la a God, but his laws won't apply in their everyday business life and cares. In life's Waterloos God sus- tains us by Invisible things. Charge to the Py In the absence of Rev. Matthew B, Low- rie the installation prayer was offered by the moderator, who a'dp conducted the ex- amination of the candidato and received the sanction of the people whom he is to serve. The charge of the congregation was de- livered by Rev. Clarence G. Reynolds, pas- tor of the First church of Jollet, Ill., who bade the newly installed pastor a hearty godspeed. He informed him that he had not entered the ministry, but had been born into it. He bespoke the consecrstion of ! the new pastor's whole strength to the *, rvice and admonished him to practice what he preached and to live the word at all times, to be a man of prayer and ccn- sclous of Christian strength. Above all else he asked that he preach the word and not worry his people with higher criticisms, The pulpit for the people proclaims the true doctrines of Christ's words. Perfect faith means the preaching of the atone- ment. A house-golng pastor means church-going people. He was to make his church one family in Christ. Charge to the Peopl The charge to the people was delivered By Rev. Bawin H. Jenks, D. D., of the First church, Who urged the members of the church to stand strogly and firmly by their new pastor. He admonished them to re- member that the church is a unity. He also urged the congregation to pay thelr pastor well and not forget that the minis- ters of today, all too many, are much under- paid. 8 4/ Kt with your love’ and help him {n bW battle by coming to church. ‘There {8 fiothing 80 discouraging as empty pews 4nd the absence of familiar faces.” After the benediction by Rev. Walter Reynolds & short reception was held at the close of the services, that all who were prosent might meet and greet the newly in- stalled pastor. Mr. Raynolds came to Castellar church last September, since when he has served that people. He Is a graduate of Wooster university and the McCormick Theological sominary. His early ministerial training was recelved while acting as assistant pastor of the Third Presbyterian church in Chicago. Rev. Reynolds will reside with his family at 2615 South Fifteenth street, COLD WAVE FOR CHRISTMAS Zero Weather Predicted to Greet It is quite probable that Santa Claus will not be put to the annoying inconvenience, of bringing his gwn weather with him when he comes to Omaha on his Chriscmas rownds. Weather Forecaster Welch has promised to do this much to lighten the burden of good old Saint Nick, and so the frosty bearded old fellow may be ex- pected to bring a bigger load of presents. Mr. Welch has sent for a fresh assort- ment of genulne wiater weather and he expects the firet consignment in by 4 o'clock this afternoon, and is quite con- fident that by evenl the mercury will descend to zero at least, so that by the time Santa Claus makes his sly advent there is little dqubt that he will find things doing in the weather line. ELKS’ NIGHT AT THE ORPHEUM Omaha Wearers of the Autlers Pay & Little Tribute to Manager etter, Omaha lodge No. 39 of Elks tendered Manager Reiter of the Orpheum a testi- monial last night in the shape of a fra- terfnl visit. The members occupled seats in & body on the first floor. interlude by the orchestra, Mr. Reiter was called.-before the curtain. He responded with & little speoch, thanking the brothers for the pleasure and honor,.and told sev- eral of his latest stories, which elicited enthusiastic applause.

SWINDLED BY A BAD CHECK wmin a Twe Street Merchant Suffers Are Held at the Statio; i. N. Nelson, who conducts a dry goods store at 2222 Cuming street, was victimized yesterday to the extent of $30 in money and $5 worth of merchandise through the me dium of a forged cheok.

Miss Munchoft. | _The triumph which was accorded to Mi Mary Munchoff at the Boyd last night, when she appeared In her first home con- cert after many years of foreign study, was a triumph of which she is assuredly proud, and the memory of which will last until she has sung her last song on this sphere, which heaven grant may be very many years distant. It was a coronation! The crown of lov- ing sympathy woven with sterling appre- clation and golden approbation was placed, not on the brow, but on the heart of the singer who came back to her own people and who was by them recelved right roy- ally, and while acclamation poured forth the oll of comfort she was hailed and anointed and crowned as an artist and as an example of succ through earnest | work. | Miss Munchoff has worked incessantly, Intelligently and bravely, patiently search- ing for the true art path and walking in it uncompromisingly. She has not hurrled. She has succeeded, and Omaha is proud of her achlevement. She is an example for all students to look to, and her work last night will have its effect in many an Omaba studio for the next few months, students will be en- thused and teachers will find their work more earnestly absorbed. , Miss Munchoff has boen somewhat unfor- tunate, since her arrival in this country, in having a press agent (whoever he may be) whose idea seems to be that she should be “circussed,” to use am advertising phrase. It is not necessary to boom her a8 “America’s greatest soprano,” nor Is it , prudent to advjse the public that she is a second Pattl, or the superior of Melba or Sombrich, that she taught Germany what colorature singing s, ete. Buch statements are intrinsically and historfeally fncorrect and are absolutely unnecessary. She is the “first Mary Munchoff,” artist—and her place is hers and no one, else’s; it is an enviable place, which she herself has made, and it can stand on its own merits absolutely, Critics have differed and will differ as to Miss Munchoffs classification, most of them considering her a pure example of colorature singing, of which Emma Nevada is a splendid type, &nd of which many discerning ones consider Mme. Nevada the absolute, monareh, v Aftor hearing Mary Munchoff last night, in varfous kinds of work the impression grew upon the musical critic of The Bee that Miss Munchoff is notably a “lleder" singer, an adept at the difficult and oft- attempted fleld—the classlc song. A critie 1s not entitled to any considera- tion If he does not support his opinion by evidence, and therefore it devolves upon the present writer to state that in defense of his position he notices in Miss Munchoft a fascinating power of interpretation, a wonderful command of the beautitul and elusive “mezza voce” and a wealth of tone color, In the lower registers especlally. She has also that gift of expressing by her countenance, sincerely and without mannerism, the meaning and sentiment of what she sings. In fact, it s in her colorature work that any mannerism s noted unworthy of such an artist, namely a tendency to terminato @ cadence by closing the mouth suddenly, and an inclination to close the eyes in securing certaln planissimos. These are trifies, but Miss Munchoff is a great artist and as such she cannot afford to do any- thing inelegant. In colorature work, roulad trills and “shak the artist showed a magnificently trained organ, and the months and months and years of careful, conscientious study and practice bore fruit last night. Her trill is like the rippling tone of a rare bird of eong, and in her ‘“Nachtigall" ®ong she literally and actually was a glorfous “nightingale.” Her runs and arpegglos were not always as “clean’ IMO might look for, but yet her work always dainty, Flexibility, she has, flor- idity, she has, it must be admitted, but neverthel: Mr, Joseph Gahm played two numbers and responded to generous encores; par- ticularly enjoyable were the compositions of his gwn. His “Lullaby,” sung by Miss Munchoff (to whom it is dedicated), was vociterously applauded and repeated, after being beautifully and poetically sung. Mr. Gahm also played most artistic accompani- ments and some of them were very dim-. cult, Mr. Pedersen played a most effective flute obligato. THOMAS J. KELLY.

FIVE VQTE IN FAVOR OF THE CHANGES Mount Moves Tem Amendments Dep gned to Render Franchise Use- less to the Promoter and They Are Adopted. By a vote of § to 3, Hascall, Hoye, Mount, Whitehorn and Karr voting together and Burkley being absent, the city council re tused to pass the Rosewater franchise ordi- nance without amending it in a mlnm‘r; which is said by Mr. Rosewater to be ab- solutely subversive of the ends which he | secks to accomplish in the construction of | & water power electrical plant for Omaha. | The question did mot come up until a greater part of the business of the evening had been disposed of and then upon mo- tion of Mr. Hascall the ordinance wi brought up, and Mr. Mount moved ten amendments, nine of them Inserting In the various sections of the ordinance as pre- viously published after the words ““Andrew Rosewater, his successors or assigns,” the words “or any other person or corporation who may accept the terms or conditions of this ordinance, thelr successors or as- signs,” and the other providing that the tranchise shall be forfeited it the plant is not in active operation at the expiration of three years from the date of the ordinance. The amendments were seconded by Mr. Hascall. As soon as they were offered Councilman Zimman moved that the ordinance be re- committed to the judiclary committee for turther consideration, 80 the copncilmen could give the proposed amendments some | consideration. Mr. Hascall opposed the motion. Challenges Sincerity of Majority, Mr. Lobeck sald that if the opponents of the Rosewater ordinance were sincere in thelr desire to have m, power plant con- structed they would not oppose this ordi- nance, but would prepare another providing for a franchise open to the first comer and both ordinances might be submitted to the people of the city at the same election, per- mitting the voters to select the one which they may desire. After Mr. Trostler had advised the council to defeat the ordinance in toto rather than attempt to kil it by amendments, a vote was taken and the amendments adopted by the vote glven above. Mr. Hascall then moved that the ordi- nance as amended be ordered engrossed and that the city clerk be fnstructed to pnb- lish the ordinance as engrossed for two weeks as requized by law. Mr. Zimman as | an amendment offered a concurrent resolu- | tion providing for the same course. The amendment was lost and the Hascall mo- tion carried by the same vote, with the ex- ception of Howe, who voted in the afiirmi tive on both the motion and the amend- ment. Charges of Connivance, An unusual thing occurred when the elerk reported the result of advertisement for proposals for the purchase of strips of ground on either side of Twelfth street north of Nicholas street, the bids received being from Adams & Kelly, $150; C. B. Den- ney, agent, $268, and T. F. Bwift, $805. As soon as the report was read Mr. Hascall moved that the matter be referred to the building and property committee, saying that the property could not be sold to any- one but the owner of the abutting prop erty unless an easement , is, glven that owner. Mr. Lobeck said the. he had been informed by Mr. Kelly of tho firm of Adams & Kelly that one of the other hidders had called the firm up by telephone and told it that its bid was lower than another and that the successful bidder would withdraw for a consideration. The highest bidder was T. F. Swift, who was in the hall, and 8 soon as Mr. Lobeck had made his state- ment Mr. Swift was on his feet. “I have heard that statement before,” he ald, “and have heard my name connected with it and I desire to say that it is ab- solutely false 5o far as I am concerned, as I have made no such representations. The matter was referred. Later in the evening a communication was peceived from Adams & Kelly asking that Twelfth street north of Nicholas be made fifty-two feet wide instead of 100 feet, as at present, and offering $900 for the strips taken from the width of the street The company said that plans are already prepared for the con- struction of a new factory building at that place and the additional ground Is needed to ‘carry out the project, the price offered the city belng the same as that paid for similar ground recently. For Charter Amendment, A communication was received from the mayor asking the counc!l to take steps to secure the co-operation of the Dou county delegation in the Nebraska legisla- ture for certain amendments to the city charter whereby some of the important funds of the city may be Increased to the improvement of the service. The matter was referred to the president of the coun- ell, with power to act for the body. The ordinance providing for the creation of street improvement district No. §10 was passed and because of the fallure of the owners of the abuiting property to de: nate the character of the paving in that district, the ordinance provides that Dodge street from the east side of Twenty- seventh avenue to the west side of Twenty- ninth avenue shall be paved with sheet asphaltum and curbed with combination curbs and guttering. Resolutions were passed providing for the payment to George R. Crandall, J. P. Connolly and Jobn F. Dalley, sewer con- tractors, money retained in the guaranty fund until the work bad been found satis- factory. This money, together with money due on the partial estimate of C. D. Wood- worth, will be paid as soon as funds are available. Light Bills Ordered Pai The same action was taken on certain bills of the Omaha Gas company and the Globe Light and Heating coming for the months of September and October, which had been held out of former appropriation sheets, but this action was not taken until after the comptroller had reported that he had investigated the matter and recom- mended the payment. The payment was or- dered over the protest of Mr. Zimman. Upon the fecommendation of the finance ccmmittes $260 was placed at the disposal of the city engineer from the general fund The regular appropriation ordinance was passed, Hoye, Whitehorn and Zimman vot- ing in the negative. Councilman Burkley was excused from attending the meeting.

They are unanimously in favor of the re-establishment of the can- een.

They stopped several hour in the city Mr. Dunwoodie at one time supplied Omaha with a lai portion of its flour and retalns a natural Interest in the city, with whose progressive spirit he was much impressed. The matter of coal supply, Mr. Dunwoodie said, was one of great Interest just now in the frozen north and yet, he said, the big mills had not suffered from any dearth. As they use water power mostly, only sup- plementing with steam, they are not in a way to endure severe hardship from the lack of coal. DEATH RECORD. Senator Dwight M. .

SCHOOL DISTRICT FUNDS EXHAUSTED Tuarkeys Selling on Local Market at Very High Price—Christmas Mail is Exceedingly Heavy— Magie City Gossip. Salary warrants for the teachers in the public schools were issued yesterday aft- ernoon, the schools closing for the usual hollday vacation. Something wnusual was witnessed at the high echool building when the teachers emerged from the office of the secretary, where the warrants for De- cember were given out. Several Investors Wero on hand with cash In thelr clothes for the purpose of cashing the teachers' war- naturally at a discount., Quite a number of the teachers sold thelr warrants to the money lenders who hovered ouiside, but some walked straight to the city treas urer’s office, where they were given face value for their paper. It 1s & well known fact that the school funds are exhausted, and that all warrants draw interest at the rate of 7 per cent. Hence the rush for securities of this kind. Some of the members of the Board of Education are not In favor of the action taken by warrant brokers yosterday, and a stop will doubtless be put to the practice of permitting money lenders from fre- quenting the high school grounds on teach- ers’ pay day. The teachers who cashed their warrants at the city treasurer's office were not charged any discount, as there was enough money on hand to pay off the few who called. Now the school district fund is entirely exhausted and from this time on it will be necessary for the people to pay a high rate of Interest for all salarles and ex- penses contracted by the Board of Educa- tion. That there will be another big over- lap in the high school funds is evident to anyone who has looked into the affalrs of the board. An advertisement {s now running in one | of the local papers asking for bids for ad- | ditional steam heating apparatus for a four-room addition to Lowell echool. Plans of the apparatus desired may be seen at the office of the architect of the board and all bids must be accompanied by a certified check for $100. As usual, the board reserves the right to reject any or all bids, These bids are to be turned over to the board not later than 8 p. m. on Monday, January 5.
