After short address by Father Leo, in

and produced scene that was almost un-
natural in its intense beauty. Birds oil
brilliant plumags rested IL the branches
of the trees. and uprn the ground the
figures of Quadrupeds, life-like in size and
appearance, added variety to the scene
and eyer-increasing euchantment to the
view. Newport, the home OF .opulence
and wealth, never saw so splendid a func-
ton before, and since then no gathering
of Importance is complete without It's dis
tingnishiug electric decorations.
The ease with which the most brilliant
effects can be produced by the aid of cleo
tricity is its most distinguishing feature.
Chinese lanterns can be made available,
and the danger from conflagratIon or acct
dent is absolutely averted.
For weddings electrical decoration Is
positively unequaled, and by no o:her
means can such variety and effectiveness
of design be attained. and for dining
rooms, parlors and in the household gen.
orally nothing can equal the beautiful re-
suits that electricity gives.
In churches, where the opportunities for
effective decoration are 80 great, there Is
no design that the most inventive genius
can suggest that cannot be utilized.
The magnificent illumination of the great
Madison-souar Garden in New York on
fest, when the whole structure, from
ground to the spire, was covered with cleo
tric lights, was an epoch in the history of
New York, and excited the most I'M
bounded admiration from the millions who
witnessed the magnificent spectacle.
The country is on the eve Of most i'm
portant aud exciting election, and the re-
suit is fraught with the most important
consequences to the nation. Political en-
thusiasm is often manifested by profuse
expenditure for torchlight and other il
Nominations. How superior TO the old
methods is electricity, and how vastly
more brilliant are the effects that can be
produced by its use. The Electric Light
Company on Stevenson street has numer-

But the Impotence of the New York
Evening Post was directed mainly at
recent political phenomena in Kansas.
The implication is that the people here
are not fit TO govern themselves OF to
participate in the government of the
country. Has not the political history
of Kansas been quite as satisfactory
and given quite as many evidences of
civilization as the political history of
New York city? If vigorous patriotism,
II prevalent honesty in the administra-
ton of public affairs. if respect for law
and obedience to it, are evidences of
civilization, then Kansas must be quite
as civilized as New York. Taking Mr.
Theodore ROosevelt's recent History
of New York City and skimming the
table of contents from IT'S down, one
strikes such hints as these: Luke

Violence - Tory Plots.'' Doctors Mob
Riots Political Riots The Spells
System Riots Election Frauds"
Municipal Bribery Police Riots"
Secession Influences" Draft Riots."

stronghold of disloyalty in 1776: and in
January, 1851, it's mayor, in a message
to the common council. proclaimed
disunion to be a fixed fact. and pro-
posed that New York should herself
secede and become a free city with but
a nominal duty on imports" The New
York draft riot was more horrible and
barbarous than anything ever charged
to the bushwhacherS and guerillaS OF
the south. The rich and the poor were
plundered Inoffensive negroes were
put to death with torture. Charitable
institutions were attacked. The at
tempt was made to burn hospital filed

or unwilling to crush the mob and regi-

Prospects of a Repetition of the Late
Scenes at Ogden.

Omaha, Neb., April 17-"Old Proba-
bilities' did what neither militia nor
courts could do-scattered Kellys
army.
Bare boughs offered but little shelter
from a Missouri valley rain storm, and
the army now knows just how much
water can come from a cloud when it
all comes at once.
During the entire day, the men chung

few hours, for the uncertainty of delays
suggested the certainty OF hunger.
And then the rain came.
1t fell in torrents for a few minutes,
and soon scattered the men in search
Of shelter. This was extremely scarce.
The militia occupied the only build
ingS in the vicinity and would lot allow
any kellyite to enter. AS a result the
entire command was soon drenrbed.

peration developed, General Kelly was
in Omaha, Where be had been all day,
and his return to camp at nightfall was
apXiously waited for by the men.
When Kelly went back to camp he
took with him $3.50 in cash and three
wagons loaded with provisions sub
iscribed by the citizens of Omaha.
Shortly after Kelly's return to camp,
rain began to fall steadily, and it locked
like the shower would continue all
night. This rendered the situation of
the men almost unbearable.
Quite a sensation has been developed
in Council Bluffs against Governor
Jackson for his action in calling out the
militia. The citizens angrily protest
that they had been put to unnecessary
expense. So far there has been no clash
between the authorities and Kelly's
men, and none is expected.
Today papers were prepared for an
application for an order to restrain the
governor and militia from further in
reference with the army. The pape rs
were not filed, however, as the eXped-
iency of such a move was doubted

San Francisco April 1.-THE second
regiment of the California industrial
army starts east tonight in twenty box
cars, provided by the Southern Pacific
Railroad company. The necessary al
rangements were made .hy the city au-
thorities. The Southern Pacific carries
the men to Mojave, where they are
turned over to the Atlantic e Pacific.
The total cost of transportation per car
is about 800. The army is largely made
up of mechanics, who say they have no
desire to advance to washington but
they want to reach their homes in the
east. Great care has been taken in Sc
lecting the quota of 500, the chief of
police overseeing all arrangements, and
taking pains that the vicious and pro-
fessionally unemployed element is elimi-
mated, as far as possible.
The city consented to defray the ex-
penses of these men to the east upon
representations that they were attracted
hither by false hopes of obtaining work
during the Midwinter fair and they
have now no means of returning to their
homes.
