J'crsonal experiences In the way of trying
to gut something for nothing wore related by
a nufnber of gentlemen at the Young Men's
Christian association yesterday afternoon.
Of course there could ho but ono general
verdict as to the results or gambling , hut the
individual experience of each speaker pre
sented n different phase of the cnrso anil
made the meeting Intensely interesting.
General Secretary Ober read a part of
Psalm I and then introduced the llrst
sNiiker | , a prominent army ofllccr , who said
thai ! for youts during the war of the rebel
lion and after It closed ho was addicted to
. .gambling. . It was customary for the soldiers
to spread down a blanket and indulge lu a
Runic of cards at every opportunity. Ho had
even seen them playing cards while the
bullets were Hying over their heads. At tlio
battle of Chaneellorsville his company Imp-
' pencil to ho held hack for a time in reserve
and the men played cards while the branches
above them wore being riddled with leaden
hall. Many a time he had taken a pack of
cards out of his pocket as ho entered a bat
tle localise he was ashamed of the thought
that he might be found dead with the cards
In his jtockiit. Ho had thrown the cards
n\voy nnd placed a small testament that bis
mottier gave him In their stead. After the
war he Kept it up and lost hundreds of dollars
lars at tlio game. He had seen hundreds of
men led to drink through the habit of gamb
ling. Nothing but evil could come of the
habit. He had been saved from it by con
version to the religion of .lesus Christ and
now ho was trying to lead as many young
men as he could away from the habit for he
was sorry to say ho had been the means of
leading u good many into It. f
IIU I.iuly I'rk'iid TniiKht Him.
The next speaker was a young man who Is
employed as one of the assistant secretaries
by the association. Ho had learned his
Jlrst lesson In card playing from a voting
lady friend who was anxious to have him at
tend her card party. From the fashionable
card party ho was led on to Indulge in a
social game for small stakes and Dually ho
went Into the game to win all ho could. He
lost heavily and several times was tempted
to take his employer's money , which was
within his reach , to make oven on. Fortu
nately he had never talcen that step. He
was converted to Christianity and had
given up card playing entirely. His advice
was to leave all forms of gambling severely
ulono.
Another young man. evidently a mechanic
nnd a Hercules In stature , made a very
effective talk. He had gene Into the
gambling habit at tlrst ho said simply as
a pastime. He lived in Chicago and bis em
ployment was siichthat'ho had several hours
every day to spare , and ho visited the horse
races.
JWvetfi of Plnyliif ; thn Hurra.
"Thero were fellows there. " said the
speaker , "who said they could give mo a
dead straight tip and I would bo sure to win.
I took their tips a few times and lost my
money. The horses they said would bo sure
winners didn't come in that way. Once in n
while I won , but us n whole 1 was n loser.
When I did win it was worse on mo than
when I lost , for when I had a lot of money
in my pockets that I had made easy
I just got with the gang and
rounded up the town. Wo took in every
thing In sight and I generally found myself
the next morning In some low dive , fooling
as though I wanted to commit suicide. I
want to tell you that the man who wins is
the biggest loser in the end , I have quit it ,
und , by the grace or God , 1 don't propose to
touch another card. "
Then a middle-aged man said ho had begun
to gamble by "shooting craps. " From this
lie had gene on to the more expensive forms
of gambling and had seen many a hungry
day on account of his dissipation.
"I have been saved by the work of Rescue
hall " ho said ' 'and I with
, , am through gam
bling In every fouu. "
An old gentleman arose nnd said that ho
had herded ctittlo on the ground whore
Omaha now stands forty years ago. Ho had
been fascinated with the idea ef running a
gambltng establishment in those early days
when gambling was conducted openly in the
streets of Council Bluffs and Omaha. Hut
before bo had gotten very far into the
mesbcs of the seductive habit ho had been
redeemed by the grace of God and ho had
thrown It aside for all time.
A young ntnn scarcely out of his 'teens
took the floor and said ho had pulled the
tiger's tail at odd times when ho had n few
dollars In his pockets during the past half
dozen years , and ho had been ] xiwcrf ully con
vinced that there was nothing In it for him
but ruin and damnation if be kept it up. He
had hut recently quit the game and ho quit
for the very best of reasons ,
Spoiled IIU Vinlt Homo.
"A short time before the Mills meetings
commenced , " said the youthful ex-gambler ,
"I hud * I fKl saved up to pay my way back
homo In the east to see my dear old mother.
I had not been frequenting the gambling dens
In this city for some time , in order that 1 might
save this money , so that I could make ono
moro trip homo. The day before I intended
to start for the east I was going past a gam
bling house , and something said to me , 'go
In and try your luck far 1 worth. This is
Wednesday , mavbo you will strike it rich
today. ' I went In and put up the 1 on the
rotlletto wheel and lost it. Then I wanted
to make oven , and I tried something else
n whirl and I lost. The moro 1 lost
the moro excited 1 got , and In two hours I
had dropped every cent I had and T came
out without a penny to my name. My trip
homo was then out of the question and I was
very much discouraged. Onoovcning I went
to the Mills meetings and there I decided to
< | iilt the game forever. I have been saved
by the grace of God and I never Intend to
touch another card while 1 live. "
Several others made short speeches all to
the same effect , and half a do/en men nroso
and said they proi > o.sed to quit the game
right away.
Next Sunday the meeting will bo devoted
to the experiences of men who have been
addicted to drink.

At All Saint's church yesterday morning
Hov. T. J , Mackay delivered an eloquent
discourse on the life and character of thu
Into lit. llov. Phillips llrooks. Tlio speaker
had enjoyed a personal acquaintance with
the givat dlvino of tinny years standing and
his remarks were not only a eulogy of an
eminent bishop but a personal tribute to the
Memory of a valued friend.
llov. Mackay has seldom spoken with
more feeling und eloquence than on this oc
caalon. Ho alluded at length to llisbop
Brooks as a humanitarian , which according
to thn speaker was at once ono of the most
pronounced and most pralsexvorthy traits of
ms character. Ho quoted at some length
from the letters and sermons of the divlna
to show that what sonm bad been pleased to
call his heresy was but the enthusiastic
Christian spirit of a nolilo nature which
coveted all things for his Master.
'It will require somoi time , " said thn
speaker , " for us to rorm a proper estimate
of him who hns recently passed away.Vc
had expected much from his latter days , but
thoM \ \ \ has i-allcd him higher In the prime
or his manhood , leaving us the heritage of
his memory. As a pastor Phillips llrooks
hud but few eqirils. Hn hud the faculty or
piercing to tlio secret or every trouble and
{ touting on the oil that healed the wound auJ
lightened the burden. "
A Ulco to u Younp Man.
When llev. Mackay was yet a younp
preacher ho had written to Dr. Urooks In
regutd to some doctrines of the church that
to him nplHiarcd Inconsistent , The elder
dlvinu had replied and advised him to ask
him oJf whether llu'to ptirulexlug dogmas
were In reality the doctrines of the church
or simply n human Interpretation of her
doctrines which men had assumed to bo the
creed. The real doctrines of the church
were nt ouco so simple and HO true that
there could bo no misunderstanding of their
meaning. And this was the man who had
been accused or piftpngating falsn theories.
Referring to these accusations the sx | > aker
said ; "Ho never said a word back when the
world heaped vituperations upon him. To
use ono of his own sayings , It was like
'throwing water on the stars to quench their
shining. The stars shine on. ' Hownsaman
to whom all men turned Instinctively when
In trouble. He never asked n man whether
ho had a name , but If ho had a sorrow.
Christianity Is u creation of the heart and
not of the Intellect and this was the secret
of Brooks' marvelous power over men. As a
teacher ho was unexcelled. The scriptures
glowed with new life and power when de
livered from his pulpit , lie looked on the
world ns his Held ami the church as the net
with which ho was lo gather the whole world
into his Muster's kingdom. All men were
children of God to him" and all were members
of His kingdom.

CHICAGO , 111. , Jan. 21) ) . The accident which
liappened to the manufacturers' building at
Lho World's fair yesterday proves to have
lieen ono of the most peculiar that ever befell
; i building , and it was an accident that could
not have occurred to any buildiding save the
manufacturers' building , which has the
largest roof hi the world. ' 1 lie main uart of
this loof Is USO feet wJde , 1.41H ) feet long and
1. ! . ' ) feet high. In addition lo this part or the
covering of the building are auxiliary roofs
of annexes.
The larger portion of the roof is on an in
cline from the center of the main arches ,
three-quarters of the way to the east. Hero
there is a break in the slope , forming n de
pression and from this the roof rises in a
nentle curve and slopes gently down to the
edge of the wall.
L'pon the main portion of the roof was piled
n mass of snow about three feet deep. When
the rain and thaw set In the weight of the
water rendered this mass of snow and ieo
much heavier than before. It began to slide
from the top of the mam roof , which is
1H.1 feet from the ground , down toward the
walls , and the entire mass of saturated
snow gave 'way with a rush and an avalanche -
lancho of snow I-100 feet long which
would have swept houses and trees like
feathers from its path had it been on a
mountain side , came all at once into the de
pression of the annex roof and largo pieces
of Ice were hurled through the glass by the
rush of snow , and wherever the ice struck
the glass , holes were made in the Hat roof of
the annex. The main roof was not hurt and
the great surface is porrectly clear. A thor
ough examination today shows that the
glass can bo replaced for I.XX ( ) orfUXX ) .
The glass roof of machinery hall was dam
aged to the extent of * > ( K ) .
The government and other largo buildings ,
while covered with snow , are not injured
and no attempt will bo made to clear the
roofs , as they will stand the weight safely.
President Higgiiibotham declares that the
reports or the damage hnd been greatly ex
aggerated. "Tho total damage , " he said ,
"will not be over $5,000. The damage will
not be Tell in any -degree by the fair , it
being a matter belonging entirely to tlio
contractor. The reports that the agricul
tural and transportation buildings are in
danger is not true. Their rooTs are not
sagging. They nro absolutely .secure. "

The statement published In the Sunday
World-Herald to the effect that the body of
the Into Mayor Mlllerlmd been exhumed nnd
carted to the Omaha Medical college and
there subjected to ancxamlnatlon has caused
n xvnvo of indignation , both among the
friends of the deceased mayor and the faculty
of the college.
A reporter for Tun Hnn called on Mrs.
Miller lust evening ami learued from her that
it the Instance of parties Interested in fer
reting out the mystery surrounding the death
of her husband she , some four weeks ago ,
reluctantly gave her consent to the removal
of the body for examination. Mrs. Miller
said :
"I xvas very much surprised nnd very , very
sorry when I saw the article in the World-
ilerald. 1 think they had ought to have
known better than to publish it , ns it will
iwll our plans by putting the parties wo nro
ifteron their guard. "
Mrs. Miller declined to go into details of
the painful subject , but said enough to show
conclusively that the body never Icty South
Omaha.
.Strongly Denies thn Story.
Prof. F. M. Mueller , chemlstof the Omaha
Medical college , said yesterday regarding
His examination of tlui stomach of ex-Mayor
Miller.
"No such examination was ever made by
me , nor has an analysis been made of tlio
stomach at the college. I know this because
I have in my possession the only key to the
college laboratory nnd I would cer
tainly bo called upon if anything
of the sort was going on. Scarcely ahy of
the faculty of tlio college ever attempted to
make a chemical analysis , because it is n dis
tinct line of medical science , and very fexv
physicians ever go into that study thor
oughly. And even if they did study the mat
ter they have not the proper Instruments and
appliances to make a thorough and complete
malysis. "
When asked how long a time would bo
necessary to make a complete and thorough
examination of a body the professor said :
"If I tested for arsenic or some other well
known poison I could determine the pro'senco
of poison In an- hour or txvo on a hasty test ,
but to make an examination which I would
bo willing to testify to would take a week or
ten days at least. Neither the body of
Mayor Miller nor an v part of his body over
entered the doors of the Omaha Medical
college , and anything any ono may say to
the contrary is n base fabrication. "
Denounced as nn Awkward l.le.
Besides talking with Prof. Mueller a Unc
reporter conversed with the iimjority of the
physicians comprising the faculty of the
Omaha Medical college and they all stated
positively that no such examination had
boon made by them or.insido the college ,
walls. Furthermore n dozen students attend
ing lectures at the school said thnt-nothing
of the sort had taken place.
The faculty of Creighton college made
statements similar to the above and denied
that the body had ever been taken there.
The members of the faculty of the Omaha
Medical college who were seen yesterday
were quite sore to say the least , at the way
the name of the institution hnd been
dragged In the mire by a fake story. Even
the janitor of the college , who is in the
building day and night , denied It , nnd in
timated that ho would like , to meet the man
who wrote the story.
Enough was learned to state positively
that there is not a word of truth In the
story ns published b.y the "World-Herald , ex
cept the mere fact that the body was taken
up for examination.
