HOME AGAIN.
Warm Welcome and Reception TO a
Returned Pastor.

Rev. w. ]. Harsha of the First Presbyte-
rian church, having just returned from
summers iaunt abroad, the members of his
congregation rendered him a reception last
evening at the church parlors.
The main room was finely decorated for
the occasion. On the wall above the rostrum
was the sentiment "Welcome Home" in
evergreen letters 1t was flanked on the ono
side by a great jar of wild aster and on the
other with golden rod. The speakers
stand bore large basket of roses, a gift of
the ladies to the pastor. The chandalies
were trimmed with golden rod, and table
in the center of the room was almost hidden
by the spreading leaves of a bunch of gerani-
ums. Window sills and other coigners of
vantage were also used for displays of beau
tiful autumn fora
The parlors were thronged with sew
eral hundred friends of the re-
turned traveller. and there was an exchange
to the social amenities usual to such occa-
sons, Superintendent James called the
gathering together and extended the formal
welcome to Mr.. Harsha. He spoke briefly,
assuring the pastor that he had been con
stantly in the thoughts of his people while
away, and expressing the satisfaction of his
congregation in having him once more in
their midst, refreshed for his work.
Mr.. Harsha replied even more briefly. He
said he was glad to be back with his people,
and to prove it he said that at Queenstown
he met an Omaha gentleman who had a big
letter of credit and offered to pay his ex-
penses if he would take a trip around the
world. The minister felt tempted,
| but thought too much of his
wife and his church to yield. He
| said a trip abroad was recreation for re-
| ceptive man, because it filled him with new
! thoughts and new views. But, he continued,
| it would take ten years to tell all his
| thoughts and he would not detain his hear
| ers by taxing their time that evening to tell
| them, which bit of wit with its flavor of an
| Irish bull, sent the listeners into an audible
| smile. Mr.. Harsha expressed with earnest
ness his satisfaction at being home again.
| The formal exercises We're closed with a
| prayer of thanksgiving by Rev. Wilson.

ANOTHER RAINBOW CHASER.
Comment on Governor Hills Con-
templated Western Trip.
ONE OF DAvlD's SHARP SCHEMES
He Pretends Not to BE Interested i'm
the New York State Election In
Order to- Get in His
Fine Work.
Dnyjd's Work for Grover.

Nrw York, Sept. 2l.- Special Telegram
% THE BEE The announcement that Gov
ernor Hill has signifed his willingness to
speak in other states than New York to help
elect Grover Cleveland has caused some sharp
comment among politicians. About the sad
dest of statesmen are those members Of the
democratic national committee who adore
Cleveland, while they don't care straw
whether Hill is elected. They don't like the
governors tone and manner of talking about
his magnanimlty in going on the stump for
Cleveland. He said he should pay "little at
tention throughout the campaign to the state
election as such; all of my efforts will be de-
voted to securing the success of the
national ticket, the importance of which
overshadows everything else" Many
staunch democrats smiled at the remarks of
the governor. One said he admired Governor
Hill, but from the way he talked he inferred
that the governor was under the impression
that Cleveland could not win without his as
slstance.
IL is said that Congressman William l..
Scott and Colonel Brice do not take much
stock in Governor Hills political strength as
compared TO President Cleveland's. They
believe President Cleveland is the stronger
Of the two in New York and will get more
votes than the governor.
An anti-Hll democrat said that but for the
nomination of Governor Hill, Cleveland
would have had walk-Over in New York
state, and it behooved the governor to try to
do something for the man he weak
ened. He thought, however, that
Governor Hills appearance in Indiana
would not help the democrats here His
belief is that Governor Hill wished 10 pre-
tend merely not to be Interested in New
York in order to get in his fine work. But
he thinks it will not deceive anybody.
The adverse criticism by many democrats
will certainly not inspire the democratic ma
tional committeeman If they could hear it.
They think Governor Hill has lost his politi-
cal balance and wishes to emulate Colonel
Bricc by "chasing rainbows" a few weeks in
the west. If he is certain of carrying New
York ohey believe he should remain and
make assurance doubly sure.
A prominent democrat confessed that it
was to Hills interest to elect Grover Cleve
land, because it gives him a chance to look
forward to 1892.

Both States solid For Hnrrison.

NEW York, Sept. 2l.--[Special Telegram
to THE BEE. Colonel George r. Davis,
national executive committeeman from Hi
nois, at republican headquarters to- day, as
sisted to make things lively. He will remain
some time and assist the comm ittee. He
laughed at the report this morning in several
democratic papers that he had informed the
committee yesterday at its regular weekly
executive meeting that Illinois should be
looked after. He said he did say that the
the democrats were active in his state, but so
were the republicans. A republican ma
aority in Illinois could be counted upon.
Judge G. w. Fairbanks of Indiana dropped
IN at headquarters and brought good news
from the Hooser state 1t was all nonsense
for the democrats to claim the state, he said,
because the drift of sentiment was clearly
for General Harrison. A blind man could
See it.. The majority for General Harrison
would be large enough to show the democrats
that they had no show from the beginning to
carry the state.

THE FLAMBEAUs TONIGHT.
A Brilliant Display in Ratification OF
ConneiuS Nomination.

The preliminaries to the congressional
nomination were watched by the E'lambeau
club with much interest, because it had an
especially warm interest in Mr.. Connell's
candidacy and intended to tender him a
demonstration, in the event of his nomina-
tion, that would excel anything of the kind
yet attempted in Omaha. The club held a
meeting last night TO make the arrangements
for the proposed RATIFICATION, which will be
held this evening. atlute unexpectedly the
Seventh Ward Republican club, headed by
its band, marched into Flambeau headquar-
ters. The enthusiasm was irrepressible, and
the meeting resolYedl itself into an i'm
promptu ratification,
Judge Hascall Iispoke upon national
practical STANDPOINT, and was
gave short talk amid much merriment.
MIR. A. S. Churchill then made an address OF
audience quite off it's feet in its demonstra-
tion of delight and approval which con-
cluded with cheers for Connell that were
heard for blocks.
The F'lambeaus have arranged an elabor-
ate affair for tonight. The Lancers and
Seventh ward clubs have asked for place in
the ratification and will take part. Other re.
publican clubs of the city are expected to
JON in the demonstration and all will meet
at the Millard hotel at O'Clock. The line OF
march will be east on Douglas street to
Ninth, thence to F'arnam, Sixteenth, St.
Mary's and Twenty-fourth TO Mr., Connell's s
residence After a public reception the
clubs will assist in the raising OF flag pole
in the Seventh ward. Messrs. Connell,
Hascall and others are expected at this
rally.
The Flambeaus are planning an exhibition
of fire works that for brilliancy and extent
will far out-do all previous efforts. The dis
play of rockets and side lights will be daz
ding and overwhelming.

Harrison Delegations.

QINDIANAPoLIs, Sept. 2l.-General Harrison
received two delegations to-day. One from
Winchester and other towns in Randolph
ers, came on two special trains of forty
coaches and numbered over twenty-five hun
dred being one of the largest delegations
that has visited the city. Among them were
several political organizations, and 125 Tippe-
canoe veterans; also the Lincoln league club
of 200 first voters. At the head Of the col
umn marched William Montgomery, their
Five bands accompanied them, and many
thousands attending the state fair wit messed
their creditabe parade en- route to Univer-
sity park. The second delegation came from
Dayton, O., and numbered $50, including
fiIty-three veterans of 1910, escorted by a fine
band.
Jointly. General Stone, of Randolph county,
and Colonel John G. Lowe, of Dayton, wore
the spokesman in behalf of the visitors.
General Harrison was looking unusually
well, and spoke with great animation, so that
his words were distinctly heard on the out
skirts of the large crowd, which numbered
perhaps four thousand, including many visit
Ors atten ding the fair. At the conclusion Of
tho speech making General Harrison came
down from the platform and for over an hour
shook hands with the visiting crowd.
Later in the afternoon, accompanied by his
niece, Mrs. Dimm ick, he regaled himself by
visiting the base ball park, where he wit
messed the Philad elphia club drub the
Hoosier team. The general occupied one of
the upper boxes, and but few were aware of
his presence.

RHEA AT BOYD'S.
"A Pleasing Production of "Adrienne
LecOuyreur."

"A Pleasing Production of "Adrienne
Lecouyreur."
The re-entrc of Mile. Rhea, after an alb
sence of several years from the local stage,
was welcomed last evening at Boyd's opera
house by large and apprecative audience,
attestng the fact that the favorable i'm
preston made by the handsome and accom-
plished actress on her previous appearance In
Omaha remained. The play presented was
the essentially French drama of "Adrienne
Lecouvreur," a work that has not been
largely popular on the English stage, though
the title character has been essaycd by sew
eral English speaking actresses of prominence
and enjoyed fame derived from it's impcr-
sonation by Bernhard In the hands of Rhca
the character of Adrienne receives artistic
and pleasing treatment. The actress imbues
the part with all the grace and warmth and
dclicacy that are required, and makes it IA
piece of art that is free from atfectations and
charplingly natural. Rhea's English articu
lation has somewhat improved since her
last appearance here, but the re-
naming defects still somewhat mar the en-
ioyment OF her reading and interfere with
an entirely effective delivery. Faults of this
kind, however, are readily overlooked in ad-
miration of her acting, which deserves COR
dial commentator The company support
ing Rhea cannot be praised as whole, judg-
ing it by the work of last evening, The
Michounet of Mr.. Charles McN1anus was
admirable, but it can be justly said Of the
others that they did only fairly well. The
costuming was fine and the stage appoint
mentS appropriate.
This afternoon the delightful comedy of
IAN Unequal Match" will be given, and this
evening the brilliant Shakespearean comedy
of "Much Ado About Nothing" with Rhea
as Beatrice q character she shonld present
with superior excellence.

At Republican Headauarters,

New York, Sept. 2l.-TSpecal Telegram
to The BEEF J. Secretary Fassett, at the
republican headquarters, said to-day; sit
may be little late in the day to talk about
the result in Maine, but now the thing is all
over, l can give you little inside history as
to the feeling in the committee before the
election. All our information indicated a
small republican majority. Colonel Quay
said the day before election: 4 shall be
perfectly satisfied If we get 10000 majority
in Maine, and very happy, indeed, if we do
any better; but do not expect more than
10000 majority at the outside.'"
The statement published to the effect that
Senator Don Cameron was antagonizing
Harrison was very earnestly denied at the
republican headquarters yesterday. His
friends say he is doing great deal in quiet
way to assist the republican candidate. He
has contributed to the republican state COM
mittee of Pennsylvania and also to the ma
tional committee.
