Tlio church was .beautifully decorated with flags and numerous portraits of our great and departed loaders , maklriK God's house doubly n place In which to honor the nation's hcrocn In Being , sermon and prayer. "Onward Chris- tUn Soldier * , " and "America" were heartily eniis by the entire congregation , while the citing by the church quartet and Mrs. George Strong was admirable. Hev. William U. Murray. Ph. n. , took for hla text realm Ixsxv , 9 : "Surely .His sal vation Is nigh them that fear Him that glory may dwell In our land. " Ho then said In part : "I thank Oed for the union of patriotism nnd religion seen today , the realization of the truth cxpmscd by the Psalmist , a union taughl In Jewish history , made possible for all , natlpru through the spread of the gospel of Jeaua Christ. In the history of our own country our people have been Inspired , led nnil glorified through reverent dependence upon Almighty God , whoso providence was especially recognized by Columbus , Franklin , Washington. Lincoln , and nearly all of our great men during our existence as a people. "Ever Ijas God's Enlvatlon been nigh us , making our land glorious ; but novcr ns in tho-Eo heroic dajc when the 'Dojs In Blue' redeemed our land from slavery nnd dis union. So long as ono member of the Grand Army of the Hopubllc shall remain n living witness cf the heroism of that day of fire and blood , so long ehnll glory remain In our land. So long as the clown and sunshine of May shall gently kiss the green mounds where rests the dust of our heroic dead , so long ehnll the ground bo holy where they sleep. "How shall wo measure the value of a great deed ? I answer by Its motive , by Ho doing , nnd by Ita result. Where In history ehall wo place the Union volunteers ? In. or der to answer that question wo must first answer three questions For what did they flght { How did they fight ? And what did they accomplish by thch- victory ? FOUGHT FOH THE UIGHT. "These men fought Inspired by the holiest motive. ? possible to man for the right , In empathy for the wrongs'of others , and iu fulfillment of God's great purpose for America. "No sophistry , no soft words can ever make human slavery and traitorous ejceailon right. These men knew It. They know their cause was holy. Not pawlon , but the deep est conviction of the righteousness of their cause Impelled their conflict. "They fo'ught to redrtes the wrongs of others , to strike the shackles from slavei who were nn alien race. The most ChrUtly pympathy for the wronged bondmen ltd them to say : 'Though we die , these shall bo free ! ' "They fought to preserve constitutional democracy to the world. The personnel of the union army was the highest over known among soldiers. There were thousands of college grsduatcs In the ranks , thousands of others equally Intelligent cultivated , , ] > a- crlotJc. They were gentlemen , scholars. Tn.ey kne.w for what they fought. They bad traced the history of the world's achievement of self-government and saw our constitutional union as ltd i consummation. They went forth to'ljtdtlo to preserve that union as'the hope .and inspiration of the world. / "Wo dflk again , how did they fight ? One an hardly fancy the transformation wrougnt among our people by' the newa that Fort Sumter had been fired upon. In a moment the boy \\aa born a. . man , the civilian n sol dier , the commoiiMti fellow a hero. Though reared Inpeace , and suddenly thrust by duty upon the mightiest battlefields of the world , they battled as gallantly and dial es bcrolcly as sny soldiery upon whom the ann of heaven over looked. As I stand before men today who were a { Shlloh , Vicksburg , Lookout Mountain , Fredcrlcksburg , Antletam , Gettys burg , Petersburg and the Wilderness , I do not need to cpeak In anawer to the question of their * noble bravery and devotion. The rtuft of which our citizenship Is formed Is euch that when onca thi army blue is but toned upon the breast of the youth , beneath that blue coat will beat a soldier's heart. Unfurl before his eyes the stars end stripes and he will follow it to the cannon's mouth anil defend ! It with his life. BATTLKD NOT IN VAIN. "Men who fought so nobly In so righteous a cause would gain heroic names did they meet defeat and make a fruitless sacrifice. Hut these men battled not In vain. Tholr heroism was crowned with Immortal achieve ment. Above the roar of battle , I hoar the clank of falling chains and broken fetters and 'tis ad sweetest music to my car , for It tells of 4,000,000 slaves set free. Above Ilio discordant crash of arms and mad and deadly hatred and strife , I hear rising again the anthem of the union the 'Boys In Blue' kept Inviolate. Over their dead bodies treason can never march to victory , their monument a ur/lon nevermore to be broken , over which floats a flag never again to look upon a slave. ' "Wo are honored today by the presence of these veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic. Lang may ( hey live to bo a crown of glory to tbo state and to teach us the great lesson of patriotism. "Tho great moral and religious lesson of their great conflict and victory Is that 'righteousness cxalteth a nation. ' It can- net be repealed nor abrogated by human will. Conscience U king. The glory of our land and of our Institutions Is that righteous ness .Is cstablliihcJ therein. "Beyond the fadeless ttars of our flag wo look In gratitude to Him Who-ls the source of that glory. Over all the panorama of our history broods the spirit of tho.living God. Ho Is today , as of old , Issuing the edicts of our national life. Hear ( Mm , 0 ye people ! Fear Him , O ye leaders of parties ! Follow . Him , O ye sons of freedom. 1 " D. Icnn as His t-ilvatlon Is nigh us and j wo fear Htm , so long'shall glory dwell In : 1 AMERICANS AS A RULE Are Not Favorably Disposed Towards Counterfeits.

Qcorgo A , Custer post , No. 7 , and the Women's Hellcf corps of the post attended religious services In a body nt St. Peter's church , Twenty-eighth and Lcavenworth streets , yesterday morning. The holding of decoration day services In a Catholic church s an Innovation In Omaha , services of that , kind never before having been held In a church of that denomination In this city. The members of the po3t to the number of thirty-nine , In command of Post Com mander Rhodes , marched to the church , and to the mournful strains of the fife , accom panied by smothered rumble of muffled Irums , the .veterans entered the church and filed Into the seats which had been reserved for them. The Interior of the building was decorated with flags and hunting , and the liar was covered with cut flowers and pain's , the fragrance of the beautiful flowers filling the air. The tattered colors of the post were placed at the chancel rail at one side , and the linndpomo banner was placed on tbo op- > oslto side of the altar , Uofore the commencement of the service's Father Walsh , pastor of St. Peter's , wel comed Iho visitors to the church. Ills re marks were brief , but his welcome was hearty. The sermon was preached by Father Glenson , who took for his text Genesis I. 2G-27 : "And Ho said , let us make man to our Image and llker.oss and let Mm have ilomlnlon over the fishes of the sea and over ho fowls of the air and the beasts and every creeping thing ; and Oed crenteii man In Ills mage and likeness ; In the Image of Oed created Ho him , male and female created lo them. " LII1ERTY AN HTERNAL PRINCIPLE. The speaker said all were assembled ns Christians , the lending Idea being the eternal principle of liberty. Ho said It might be unusual to go back to thn beginning and lay the foundation for a superstructure , but If the foundation Is solid the superstructure will endure ; If the beginning Is with God the reasoning must bo consecutive. Quoting from the text , "In the beginning God created man , " the speaker eloquently painted the conditions existing before the creation of man , describing the heavenly realm and the attendant hosts of the angels ; referring to the heavenly council at which It was decided to create man and endow him with Intelligence. Quoting from the second chapter of Gcneslt' , the speaker described how man was made from the fill me of the rarth and how the breath of life was Im parted to the senseless clay , thus making man a part of the Creator and n living soul. Trom this premise the speaker reasoned that man Is immortal nnd cannot bo destroyed , lie drew a distinction , however , Between the spirit of man and his body. The con demnation of man to toll was referred to and the speaker wtd that man's body Is punishable by death , but that the free spirit returns to the principle from which It ema nated. In eloquent language the reverend speaker carried out his course of reasoning along metaphysical lines , arguing that man was created a free agent. From this deduction ho argued that the men before him had acted In accordance with the economy of God In extending sympathy to the bondmen of the south. He said that the graves all over this broad land which bear the letters "G. A. H. " cover the remains of bravo men who spent their life's blood to strike the shackles from the limbs of their brethren. Such as these , ho said , will meet faceto foco the King" who gave His life for the freedom of mankind , and Ho will place upon their brows the garland of victory ; the pro cession will be formed and they will bo marched , to the throne , where they will for ever enjoy their reward. In closing , Father Gleason reminded hla hearers that In the armies which fought for the union there were men of every national ity , and ho counseled adherence to the doc trine of charity as laught 'by Jesus. MOXUMEXT SIOT nuiiiT OP People Erect Memorial liny In Mem ory tif Their HoriU'M. Memorial day was observed at the Seward Street Methodist church yesterday-both the music and the sermon by the pastor , Rev. J. W. Robinson , being of a patriotic char acter. The auditorium Y was decorated with flags nnd the pulpit 2nd organ loft were ar rayed with flowers , bunting and portraits of Grant , Logan , Washington and Lincoln. The Sons of Veterans .and George Crook post oC the Grand Army of the Republic occupied the reserved scats near the pulpit , and the re mainder of the church was well filled with the regular congregation. Rev. Mn Robln.'on spoke on "Our Fallen Comrades. " He eMd that between Fort Sumter and Appomattoic there Intervened four of the most eventful years of our coun try's history. During these years the grand est1 army that the world had ever sjen had inarched under ths starn and stripes. Some of them were now before him , but more than I 300,000 of them had given their lives for ' the Integrity of their country and the honor of Its flag. The flret duty of the survlvom , was to erect a monument that should suffi ciently Indicate their appreciation of the sac rifices of those who had fallen. Not all monuments were built of marble. There were others that were enshrined In the hearts of those who remained beblud. Memorial day w'ss ' the monument of the American people ple to the memory of their dead heroes' , Thespeaker then emphasized the neicaslty of keeping alive the patriotic spirit that had moved the soldiers of 'Cl tosuch heroic sac rifices. In this connection he satirized tbe practice by which the people had come to celebrate the Fourth of July by chasing a greased pig. When a country maintained a targe standing army and war was at lund the. marshaling of mighty hcsts , the drum oeat and the fiery words of patriotic oratom were sufficient to keep the rplrlt of patriot ism alive , nut In times of peace , when people ple were occupied by the pursuit of riches and tbo enjoyment of luxury the voice of the orator wes submerged In the cry of the street vender , and It was time that tome one should call back the spirit of our fathers. In speaking of Iho future of this country , Mr. Robinson contended that It depended on the manner In which Its people observed the /visiles of the God Who had made and uu- niido kingdoms. He reviewed the history of the great nations that bad successively risen and been destroyed to bliuw that when a country went contrary to God's plans It was compelled to make way for a newer clvlllza- tlon. Jn this country God had plant'fd the I seeds of a new civilization on Plymouth Rock , while the devil had placed the germ of slavery on the Junes river. Thn two civilizations had developed tide by , side , but the time enuie when both could no longer exist an\ the result wna the great war that wiped the blot of slavery away and covered the sunny south with , the graves of * fallen heroes. In his opinion' , 1)19 ) civilization of this country was standing still before cor ruption In politics and the liquor traffic , Tha people must wipe out tlir.'e things or the hand of God would be turned against this country as It had against the Roman em pire , \VOI11C KOH A MACCAllHKS IIUII.ni.NC ; UflfKiiti'N VlNlt a IllNtrlcl Convention nt MInni'iiiKilU.

WOODMEN ARE ENTERTAINED' Nebraska Delegates to Head damp Spend Sunday In This City , ATTEND CHURCH AND TAKE TROLLEY RIDE Ur , Under 1'rrnclic * io Them on the HnrlmrKy of Warfare nnil the ' \VlinlcnuinciirnN of I < "rn- \ , tcrniil Tien. _ , | j The Nebraska delegates to the head camp session of the Modern Woodmen of America' at Dubuque , who gathered In this city Sat urday afternon and were entertained by local ' numbers of the order in the Qoard of Trade building on the evening of that day , were given another touch of Omaha hospitality yesterday. They were made guests of honor at church services in the morning , and In the afternoon were taken for a trolley ride over the city. They left for Dubuque on the G o'clock Ilurllngton train. In the morning a considerable number of the local members assembled at the Dcllonc hotel to escort the visiting delegates to SI. Mary's Avenue Congregational church. The body marched through the principal streets , At the church several of the front rows of pews were reserved for their use. The ' church was well decorated with the stars and strlpc.3 , with bunting and with plants. A banner of Maple camp found a. place di rectly behind the pulpit. Rev. S. Wright Butler , the raster , preached a patriotic and a fraternal sermon , lie de cried war , nnd denounced It , unless It was chocn as the least of evils. He put In con trast with the spirit that necessarily char acterized It the fraternallsm and the brother , hood of secret orders , and finally he pre dicted that war would be abolished by the extension of the spirit of the brotherhood of man that Is being so universally recognized In this country through tbe secret orders. WAS LEAST OF TWO EVILS. In his beginning , the preacher maintained that war was only right where It was the least of 6vll9 that were offered. He placed the late war In this exceptional category , but spoke of Memorial day as a day upon which a great nation "weeps for a crimecenturies , cannot forget. " The same estimate la put , upon warfare by philosophers and ( hone who have experienced It. "War Is hell , " said Tecumreh Sherman. "There nev r wus a good war , " affirmed Benjamin Franklin. Napoleon spoke of war as "the trade of barbarians. " "War Is only splendid mur der , " and "It la the sink of all Injustice , " were two other well-known estimates. Dr. Butler ntntcd that It was proper to observe a day such as Decoration day. It was not only dud to the old soldiers , but also furnished a great lesson to the people of the country. It taught them to hate war. "There Is no danger that those who have experienced war will ever give us war again , " said the preacher. He also said that the date was excellently chosen , Inasmuch as the greatest battles in the civil war occurred during the latter part of the month of May and early June. He recommended that the day be turned over unreservedly to the old soldiers since they would soon bo all gone. But 351,000 of them remain and they arc dying at a rate of one every half hour. In the course of his sermon , Dr. Butler cited a number of Instances of the devasta tion of war. Ho dwelt on the fact that 240,000 men were killed every year of the late war. He spoke of Cuba , the former 'Eden of America , " but now an "ashen desert. " He denounced the "unspeakable and unbearable Turk , " whose hour the | speaker said was fast approaching. He called attention to the fact.that the powers' of Europe am burdened nnd _ bankrupted by keeping ! 10,00tf,000 men unde'r arms "and Inlu Idleness. He stated that they furnished | dangerous Instruments In the hands of "young men. " such as the czar of Russia and the emperor of Germany. He waxed In dignant that tbe arts and sciences of the world are devoted so much to discovering now appliances of warfare. In contrast with the mllltary-rlddon powers of Europe the preacher presented the picture of prosperous and free America , which Is able , to put a greater military body In the field than any other nation in the world a force of 9,900,000 men. This Is but another of the great object lessons this country has presented to Europe for a couple of hundred years past , and which have compelled the continental countries lo look upon America as their teacher. But Dr. Sutler regretfully asserted that the Unlte-1 States had sadly retrograded in not adopt ing the Olney arbitration treaty with Eng land. By refusing to adopt the treaty , the preacher maintained , this country bad raised Itn volco In the Interest of war. Ho touched up the senate fet Its partisanship In rejecting the treaty , .and made sport of the senatorial dignity behind which "the small minds of that body hid , because there wns nothing else behind which they might " bide. SUBSTITUTE FOR ARBITRATION. "But if wo can't arbitrate , " cried the preacher , "we can fraternato. " Then IIP dwelt upon , the spirit of brotherhood that the secret societies are spreading in this country. He called attention to the fact that a part of his audience was made of representatives of the Modern Woodmen of America , d body of 237,000 members , which distributed In the past year $1,900,000 In benefits. Ho said that there were many other such bodies In the country , their ag gregate membership being 6,000,000. The preacher snld that when courts of arbitra tion failed this brotherhood would make war Impossible and would "scatter the people that defglt ) | In war. " The services were marked with special miulcal features. vTho hymns were of a patriotic character. Miss Terry Bang a couple of solos. At 2 o'clock In the afternoon a loc"l com mittee took the visitors In charge again at the Dellone hotel and escorted them to a couple of special motor cars. About seventy , fivn took n trip about the city. The exposi tion grounds were vtaltc/1 , but on account of the lack of time a close examination of them was not made. , The delegates , how ever , wore linpretoed with the space of ground that the show will cover nnd were convinced fully that tbo exposition will be a big thing. The. delegateu v/tfe then taken to the1 end of the car line and back again to the'south- ern part of the city. The terminus In this direction was Hanecom park. Here the dele gates alighted , and spent almost a half hour In viewing tbe beauties of the spot. The cars were once more boarded and the visitors wsro brought back to the Dellone hotel at 4 o'clock , . ' , * At G o'clock the delegation was at tbe Union depot and occupied two sleepers on tbe castbound Ilurllngton train , They went i from here directly to Rock Island , III. , where they will be entertained by the Woodmen there.

NEW FIRE ALARM SYSTEM Nebraska Telephone Company Begins Operation of the Lines ThU Week. EVERY TELEPHONE WILL BE AN ALARM BOX Service Incronxcd Knorinounly , Rink of Impaired Iloxcit Greatly DC- erenncd , New Circuits Created , Many "Wires Unclerjjrotmtl. During the coming week the Nebraska Telephone company will assume the man agement and commence Iho actual operation of the fire nnd the police alarm systems of this city. J m ( to what extent these Bystems It ami their usefulness will bo extended may bo beet appreciated by the statement that everyone ono of the 1,800 telephone pointsIn Omahiv will Itself become a flro nnd police alarm box. In the twenty-seven square mllco of Omaha , which Is now protected by flro alarm service , there are but ninety-two flro alarm boxes. Within ft few days the number of these boxes will In reality bo nigh onto 1,900 , and the protection from flro thereby will bo Infinitely Increased. The exact date on which this change will take place Is not yet known , but It will bo prior to the lest of "the " week. Under the direction of Vonco Lane , manager of the Nebraska Telephone company , the work In cidental to such nn Increase in service hao been pushed rapidly forward within the past thirty days , and la now very nearly com plete. Not only will all the telephones of the city be placed on circuits enabling per sons using them to communicate directly with either the flro or the police headquar ters , but the circuits devoted to the alarm service will be better protected than ever before. Hitherto there have been but four clrculta devoted to Iho flro nlorn service. With the new management , there will bo nine circuits for this service. The police alarm service has heretofore had four circuits throughout the city. After the change this service will receive twelve separate circuits. INCREASE OF CIRCUITS. The four circuits of flro alarm service cover thirty-seven miles. The longest circuit has been that starting from the city hall and run- nlng through the northern and northwestern parts of the city. That circuit haa con tained thirty-nine out of the ninety-two alarm boxes In the city. It will be divided Into four distinct circuits by the now ar rangement , each circuit having on It about ten flic alarm boxes. The risk of an accident or storm Impairing the usefulness of this long circuit will be reduced by 76 per cent by the division Into four circuits. The fire alarm wire line running out toward the Hanseom park district and covering the southwestern portion of the city will be di vided Into two circuits. The southeast cir cuit , on which ore located the fire alarm boxes east of Fifteenth street and south of Leavcnworth street , will also be divided Into two separate circuits. The territory Included within these streets Cess , Tenth , Howard and Eighteenth commonly known a& the business district , will bo afforded most am ple protection , as all the fire and police alarm wires are underground , being enrobed In the subways constructed by the telephone company. Manager Lane states that It will be Impossible for more than two boxes In this | district to get out of order at the same time , no matter how great the atmospheric or other disturbance to the lines may be. There arose so many llnca In thla subway that an acci dent to ooe box will not Interfere with the service of another. CALL NUMBER THIRTY-SEVEN. The advantage of direct telephone com munication with the fire nnd police station will be more manifest , perhaps , to the rcsl- | dents jjf Iho outlying districts 'than to the OmahafTs who are stationed within the heart of the city. In the business district flro and police alarm boxes are comparatively handy , but on the outer edges of the city considerable time is frequently lost In an effort to communicate with either the flro or the police departments. Manager Lane hao had small , neat cards of a conspicuous color , bright red , made to be placed on each | telephone. They read as follows : "Fire ! ' Call telephone No. 37. Olvo location of flro or nearest street crossing. Walt till re sponse Is given from telephone No. 37. No. 37 must not be used except to report an alarm of fire. " With the police alarm system all the boxes are now located on the improved lines , known as metallic circuits. Instead of four circuits there will be twelve. As the cir cuits are Increased the risk of their becoming - coming out of order are decreased. The pollco alarm , boxes on Sixteenth street , north of Douglas , will bo on one circuit ; those on the same street south of Douglas will been on another. Those on Douglas street , east and west of Eighteenth street , will be on different circuits. These on Farnam street , cast and west of Eighteenth street , will not bo on the same circuit , and so on throughout the city. PLlACING WIRES UNDERGROUND. As the work of the flro and police depart ments becomes greater , and as the need for additional alarm circuits increases , more cir cuits will be supplied. Further , the work of placing more flro and police lines under ground , in subways built to give the circuits better protection , will , it 'Is stated by Man ager Lane , bo carried on-until all the lines are burled below the surface of the earth. Ono of the advantages of placing the l.sOO telephones of Omaha In close communication with the flro and pollco headquarters Is that thereby the necessity of Immediately estab lishing more fire or pollco alarm boxtn on the street Is annihilated. Within the operating room on the base ment floor of the telephone building at Eighteenth and Douglas streets has been placed a new switch board with a capacity of forty-two circuits to handle the flro and pollco alarm service. Over 300 storage bat teries have been placed In the storage bat tery plant. Thls'is just double the number of batteries that are required to operaio the flro and pollco alarm service , so that dan ger of a failure In the storage plant Is prac tically done away with. Another Important fact to bo noted In the change that will soon bo made Is that all the operating depart- ' net , w r 11. Always Truthful Always Satisfactory Afaays Safe , Cool Facts. . . .

There Is no liability of a delay or failure on the part of the firemen or policemen because of the establishment of a new code of rules , There will bo no change for either the firemen or the police men ; they will continue to report to their respective headquarters , call for patrol wagons , additional police , or summon the firemen Just the same as heretofore. HAS TII13 MAK.1XH OF AN AIITIST. An O in nil n Itoy'H Sltctclicw I' In New York City. An Omaha boy who has started on the road' to fame In New York City Is W. Clyde Spencer , the only son of Mr. and Mto. W. A. Spencer , who reside at 1813 Cass street In this city. ' The young man attended the Omaha schools until he reached the second grade in the High school. Ills taste seemed to run to sketching , and after working a year or so In a local retail establishment he started for New York In March of this year. Ho applied for admission to the National Acad emy of Design , one of the foremost Insti tutes in the country , and was admitted after a test at modeling. After sixty dajs' in struction at this school he entered the news paper field , and a series of sketches from his pen was accepted by the New York Journal and appeared In the Itsuo of May 15. Mr. Spencer's only instruction In drawing while In Omaha was that received In the public schools and his success In the metropolis of this country is regarded as moat flattering by his friends in this city. The young man is scarcely 21 years of ugo and his efforts up to this time have been entirely unaided. Try llic New SS-lIonr Train to Now YorJc.
