The Two Murphys.

A good story is told of the Irish com.
edian Joe Murphy, who appeared in
Omaha last week:
1t was during the "blue ribbon" ex-
element of last season, and Joe was
journeying to small town in the vicini-
ty of Pittsburgh. AS the train steamed
into the depot it was boarded by half
dozen men, who, after hurried confer.
ence with the conductor, approached
the comedian with beaming faces.
Mr.. Murphy, believe" said the
spokesman, hat in had.
at your service, sir" replied Joe.
Delighted to meet you, sir. We are
the committee appointed to take you
in charge" and they fairly dragged the
astonished Joe from the car, placed him
in a carriage, and they were whirled
swiftly away,
"God bless us" thought the exponent
of Irish pecularities. "This is very
kind. Never was in this town before.
A mans reputation does travel, and that's
a fact"
In short time they reached the no.
tel. and the committee having placed
Joe IN the best parlor suite, prepared TO
depart.
ave will call for you after supper, Mr..
Murphy" said the spokesman.
Zone moment, gentlemen cried
st. Joseph, as he pulled the bell-cord
vigorously, Waiter, drinks for the
party"
''Drinks~ shrieked the conclave
in chorus. "Mr. Murphy, are you
mad?"
"Mad?" echoed Joe, "not bit of it..
Name your beverages, gentlemen"
ooh this is terrible backsliding,"
said one. "Francis Murphy ordering
drinks"
Francis Murphy" repeated the per-
picked Joe. "Pm Joe Murphy, the
comedian"
They saw it all, and rushed wildly
from the room in search of the temper
ance apostle, who was even then toiling
painfully from the depot on foot, tot
ing" huge carpet bag.
Both of the Murphy's drew large au-
diences that night.

the doctor was jest in the way of his
duty; but folks said it made a great
scandal, that minister hadn't no bust

he'd give the enemy occasion to speal
reproachfully. 1t RELY did seem MS if

But Others said it was Cuff that had

when the doctor come to settle with
him. Cuff thought his time had come
sure enough, and was SO scairt that he
turned blacker n ever; he got enough
to cure him O. boss racin' for one while
But Cuff got over it arter a while and
SO did the doctor. Lordy massy, there
amt nothin' lasts forever. Wait long
enough and most everything blows
over. SO 1t turned out about the doctor
there was rumpus and fuss. and folks
talked and talked and advised; every
body had their say, but the doctor ken
right straight on, and KEEP his hoss all
the same.
The ministers they took it up in the
association, but come to tell the story it
sot EN- all a-laughin' so they couldn't
be very hard on the doctor.
The doctor felt sort O. streaked at
tust when they told the story on him:
he didn't jest likt it; but he got used to
1t, and finally, when he was twitted ont
he'd sort o smile, and say, ANY way,

The wart CRYPT.

The monument which is being built at
the expense Of Mrs. A. L. Stewart in
memory of her husband is to cost over
$4,000, and when completed the work
will be the most elaborate and imposing
of its kind that can be found in any
part of the country. Work is being
pushed forward, quite a number of men
being employed upon it. A few days
ago some ninety tons Of fine marble, cut
by the best skilled workmen, was sent to
Garden City, l.. l.; to be placed in posi-
ton. The crypt is being built under the
chancel of the Cathedral of the Incarna-
ton, also being built at the expense of
Mrs. Stewart, and in the centre
will rest the body Of the dead mer-
chant.
The crypt in form is a polygon with
sixteen sides, twenty-five feet in dame
ter and twenty feet in length. Each
angle is ornamented by clustered pillars
of different colored marble imported
from Italy, and so placed as to render
harmony and TO allow of the light CIV
ing the proper tone through the sixteen
windows of stained glass. There will
be sixteen clusters, each having three
different colored marbles. Between the
pillars the space will be paneled and
carved in pure white American mar
BILE, the ceiling being of the same mate
rial.
The flooring will be Of white and
black Italian marble, set in pretty de-
sign. There will be two approaches &c
the crypt, leading from handsome vesti.
bules, which connect with the cathedral
above.
Mrs. Stewart takes great interest in
the progress Of the work. The building
of the crypt is progressing rapidly
and when finished will be one of the fin
est pieces of work to be found, no ex
pense being spared in the design or ma
terials employed.
