OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
A Few Fool Election Bets In the Metrop-
olis-Hish Priced Football-Two
Big Bicycle Shows.
[special Correspondence.l


From the many unprecedented and
peculiar conditions surrounding the
presidential campaign recently closed il
was expected that there would be very
few Of the usual fool bets made, but il
seems that this was mistake. In fact,
there has been larger crop than usual,
and numbers Of men are now In the
country awaiting the growing out of the
half of the mustache which was shaved
off as tribute to party. The idiots who
wagered wheelbarrow rides on the re.
suit Of the election are too numerous to
mention, and several of these Journeys
occur each day on Broadway. Then
there Is the donkey who has been obliged
to sacrifice circle of hair of the exact
size of silver dollar from the crown of
his head. Naturally no bald men were
included in this list. The most foolish
Of all the bets so far reported. however,
because it was so dangerous, was one in
which the loser agreed to slide head
foremost down 30 foot ladder to the
ground. The unfortunate pluckily at
tempted to live up to the letter Of his
contract, but as he happened to weigh
in the neighborhood of 400 pounds the
effort was attended with disaster. He
slid beautifully for about five feet, when
he lost his grip on the ladder, and the
balance of the descent was made in
record breaking time. The stopping was
the worst phase of the whole affair,
though. 1t was so sudden that the VIC
tim will nurse badly bruised skull and
shoulder for several weeks to come
These are but few Of the many fool
bets. The returns are not all in yet and
probably will not be for some time to
come. Meanwhile the foolkiller is hold
ing back complaoently in the happy
consciousness that his labors have, for
the time being at least, been taken off
his hands.

The regular sale of seats for
the Frawley engagement is now
in progress at Hobron's drug
store. The sale opened this
morning and the result proves
that the public are taking a lively
interest in the forthcoming
dramatic season. Seats are on
sale for the first five performances.
"The Wife" will be the opening
bill, followed on the 10Th by "The

"The Two Escutcheons" is full
of delightful comedy, the chief
motive" of it all being the utter
difference of opinion and senti-
ment prevailing between a mil
lionaire Chicago pork packer and
a proud old German baron of
ancient lineage, whose children
wish to marry. Everything is

he believed in brevity. He urged that every
thing that was to be said be thought over

He thanked the convention for the honor
conferred. and asked that 1t give its hearty

TREAsURER'S REPORT DELAYED.
The report Of the general treasurer, w.
j. Stewart OF Parnassus, Pa, was on the
program. but was not received at the
mornings session. as that official had not
arrived in the city In time to be in at
tendance at the meeting. 1t was announced
that the report would be delivered later In
the day. ,
There followed the report Of the general
secretary the most impressive service yet
held. 1t was called "a quiet session with
an address on The Practice of the Pres
ence Of Cod" 1t was conducted by Prof
w. w. White, ID. u. of Chicago, There he
is a professor in the Moody institute. In a
few days he will sail for India, where he
will give a course OF two years bible

center OF the Orient. DIT. WHITE Is a com
paratively young man, but he mas already

nEA CROW IN il EVENING.
Fills the Theater as ID Has Never bccn
Filled Before.

Though it had seemed that the capacity
of Creighton theater had been taxed to Its
utmost at previous meetings, notably the
Wednesday evening meeting, the vast throng
that managed to crowd within its walls last
night was convincing proof that former at
tendances had not completely filled the
building. Last nights meeting was by all
odds the largest, the most enthusiastic and
altogether the grandest that has yet marked
the convention of the Young Peoples
Christian Union of the United Presbyterian
Church OF North America, in this city. III
it does not go into the archives OF the society
as the banner event of the eighth annual
convention there are bound to be some
very great occasions during the next four
days. Certainly the meeting was a wonder
full affair. 1t was probably the greatest
religious meeting ever held in Omaha.
In accordance with the decision or the
officers, announced at the afternoon meeting,
tho doors of the theater were opened from
Gas until 7:15 O'Clock for the duly accredited
delegates and for them alone. They nearly
filled the pretty playhouse. They weren't
bashful, but all anxious to hear the songs
and the addresses of the evening they
pressed forward and sliced the front seats.
The %parquet, the circle and the balcony were
well filed when the doors were opened to
the general public. 1t was the work OF but
a few minutes for the expectant auditors VINO

Standing Committees for the Year
at Afternoon Session.
The afternoon session was attended by an
even larger gathering than was present In
the morning. The gallery was better hlled
and the corridors of the lower floor and the
balcony were even more closely thronged
than at previous sessions. After the singing
of the opening hymn Rev. Pressly Thompson
of Colorado Springs, Colo, led the assem-
blage in prayer. Then the delegates arose
and sang, ITO Thy Name Sing Praise" from
Psalm xcii. 1t was followed by responsive
reading No 1. 20, Sing Unto the Lord a New
Song" led by President Quay. The song
service was continued by the singing of
His Mercy Flows" based on Psalm
cxxxvi, and was concluded by the singing
of two stanzas of Every Day Will l Bless
Thee from Psalm cXlv.
Rev. Edgar McDil then made a few an
nounccments. He gave the notice of a meet
ing of the delegates from the Cedar Rapids
presbytery at the hotel Dellone at $50
o'clock Thursday afternoon, the meeting to
be addressed by Evangelist II. H. Bell and
w. p. White, and the singing to be led by
r. II. Wilson. Rev. McDill also made an
| urgent appeal for a large attendance at the
excursion to Florence arranged by the local
for Saturday afternoon. He
asked for a show OF hands of all those who
would go. and was encouraged by seeing a
generous number OF delegates indicate their
intention of going on the excursion. ITS
a go, SAID ne, amidst laughter ana applause.
Rev. J. A. Dutt, the general secretary,
gave a notice concerning the work of the
college settlement association. Chairman
Mcmillan announced that there would be an
overflow meeting in the evening to be ad-
dressed by Rev. j. T. McCrory, d. D., of
Pittsburg. He said that the attendance was
so large that 1t had been decided that some
move must be made which would insure
seats for the delegates who were to take
reports of the convention back to their own
societies. He announced that at the even
ing session the doors Of the theater would
be open from 6:45 to 7:15 o'clock p. M, for
the admission of only properly enrolled
delegates. After that, he said, If there were
any vacant seats the doors would be opened
to the public.
STANDING COMMITTEES.
The following committees were then an
nounced for the ensuing year: Nominations
