. Rev. C. B. Allen , Jr. , pastor of the Beth
Eden Baptist church , yesterday morning
Cave his congregation some pointers on how
to become better Baptists and thereby
strengthen the Baptist church. His subject
was "A Holy Ambition For the Church. "
In the early part of his sermon tbo
preacher gave his conception of the church
universal , declaring that the Church of Jo-
us Christ takes In all the creeds and forms
ot ecrvlco that profess Chrlatlanlty. Ho
gave little iiope and in fact discouraged
the Idea that ultimately there would be but
ono church and one creed. He dubbed such
an Idea as sickly , sentimentality and im
possible. For he declared that n creed is
only a crystallized form of some central truth
that has been picked out as a pre-eminent
clement In Christianity. This being the
case , a Presbyterian or a Baptist or an
Episcopalian or the member or any other
denomination who gave up a belief , of the
truth or which he was firmly convinced ,
would bo worse than worthless. Therefore
the preacher urged his congregation to stick
fast to the tenets of their faith and pointed
out that their promise to promote the pros
perity and spirituality of the church meant
raoro than words. They wcro to work earn.
ostly and steadfastly and not in a haphaz
ard manner. They should seek to add to
the congregation , not for the- purpose of get
ting a church full of people , but to Increase
ita spiritual value. They ( mould remember
else to sustain the worship and the ordi
nances of the church and to observe its
seven cardinal doctrines. These principles
irore said by tha preacher to he as follows :
The sufficient and sole authority ot the
scriptures , creditable evidence of regenera
tion as a requirement for church worahlo.
immersion , tbo order of the ordinances ot
baptism and tbo Lord's supper as divine nn
appointment as the ordinances themselves ,
the right of each member of the church to
an equal voice in its government and dls *
cipllne , the responsibility of each Individual
church to God , the freedom of conscience
nd the separation of church and state.

Btohop Worthlngton of the Episcopal dlo-
ceeo of Nebraska presided at the services
ot St. John's church at Twenty-sixth and
Franklin streets yesterday. The elaborate
ritual of the last Sunday before advent oc
cupied ft large proportion of the service
and this concluded the bishop delivered r.
ehort discourse. In this connection he an
nounced to the congregation that Rev. How-
Hnd , who has been In charge of the diaper
( or some time past , has consented to remain
ft * tha permanent occupant of the position.
lie suggested that the work In the missions
had been to some extent retarded by the
frequent changes that conditions which no
one could control had imposed. This was
largely bccnuso the young men who are in
charge of this work had only agreed to re
main here for three years nnd the termina
tions of these brief terms of service had
resulted In many changes. Ho congratulated
the congregation that they are now to have
a priest who would bo almost as permanent
s a rector and spoke warmly of bis high
qualities and ot his adaptability for the
work.
Bishop Worthlngton reminded his hcarem
that this last Sunday of the Christian year
was known as 'tetlr up" Sunday and ex
horted them to make this the occasion for re
newed activity. It wan a time at which an
Christiana should warch themselves to sec
that they were living up to the full measure
of their light and ho especially admonished
the Sunday nchool teachers nnd parish officers
to endeavor to work moro vigorously.
Speaking of the Impending Thanksgiving
day , ho urged the congregation to remem
ber the poor. God had abundantly blessed
most ot them and they should sco to It thai
no lens fortunate peopfo wcro allowed to
. want on this occasion of feasting and re
joicing. Ho especially advised them to remember -
member the slsterr. ot the Sacrament of the
Atonement and to send according to theli
moans to assist in the support of these
women who are doing such a magnificent
work.
WHO IS ON Till ! LORD'S SIDE
nor. Dr. Maim Kxpouniln the Claim )
nml Aniovern the QnentlonB.
Rev. Newton Mann , pastor ot Unit :
church , preached yesterday morning on thi
Ubject , "They Claim to Bo On the Lord' ;
Bldo. " He spoke of the Jews , who belleve (
that their tribe was the chosen one ot Got
and that the race was referred to in tin
covenant with David , when the Lord said
"His seed shall endure forever and hi
throne ns the sun before me. " These wen
the first who claimed to bo on the Lord' ;
side. The next were the Catholics , whi
tcllevo that tbo pope is Infallible and tha
their church Is the only true religion. Tin
last tc make the claim ore the modern evan
gellits , iwho still adhere cloesly to the eli
and exploded dogmas. The speaker thci
took up modern .beliefs and proceeded :
The evangelical sols up for hte doctrine

that they will never pass away , lor th

has been an ascent , not a descent , nnd the
overwhelming falsity of the Uenesls story
has been clearly demonstrated by the new
tt.umplonn that have entered the field the
torchbtarcrs of science.
Nine out of every ten will endorse the
extraordinary statement ! ) of the Hlble. Uut
this tying the name of God to a sinking
causes will not save It. The dogmatist has
no business to nay that the Lord Is on his
sldo unless the truth Is on his side. It a
statement Is proved to be false which has
passed as Uod'a word , we honor Him by
proving the falsehood. What Is needed Is
n now definition of "tho word of God. " The
truth IB the word of God and what IB not
true , If It be found In the Scriptures or not ,
Is not Ills word. The IJlble , like all other
literature , contains much that Is purely fic
tion nnd much that Is merely symbolical.
AH bearers of truth are God's messengers.
He la light nnd In Him there Is no dark
ness. This being so , wherever He manifests
Himself among men tbeio Is l.lght , freedom
of Kpecch ami encouragement for research.
Ho la en the side of him who opens his
heart and mind to whatever Is good and
true. His people are not the Jews , the
Catholics , the churchmen nor the dogmat
ists but Truth Is Ills kingdom and Its re
search Is from everlasting to everlasting.
There Ifl another class of God's servants
those who arc studying the secrets of na-
tuie , who nro ready to ransack the skies
for new facts , who work without prejudice
by night nnd by day , who travel the hot
sands of the desert or br.ive the frozen
arctic seas , who arp willing to go to the
ends of the earth In their quest for knowl
edge. Their labors liavo the motive and the
end of knowing the truth. There Is no
outward vlslblo domain that can bo called
everlasting. The gods of the Torsions and
the Greeks have passed away. Only the
enthusiasm of goodness nnd the love of
truth have been permanent. That king
dom stands through nil generations and
that dominion will have no end.
MlNNlnnnry
Instead of 'the ' usual evening services at
the Westminster Presbyterian church the
Ladles' Missionary twclety conducted a spe
cial met/tlng In the interests of missions
nnd there were addresses by the pastor ,
Rev. T. V. Moore , and two members of the
society , Mrs. G. W. Clabaugb and Miss Ger
trude Waterman.
Miss Waterman spoke on the subject
"Alaska Miralons , " and In her remarks were
given sotuo interesting descriptions of the
customs and mannerisms of the Alaskan na
tives. The address was an Interesting nar
rative of the growth of mktalons from the
time of the withdrawal of the Greek church ,
when the tract was purchased by Secretary
of State W. H. Seward in 18G7 , until the
establishment of the schools for boys and
girls by Mr. and Mrs. Wlllard In 1881.
Rev. Mr. Moore spoke concerning the no-
cceslty of maintaining foreign missions and
In the course of his remarks , giving the
strongest reasons for their maintenance , ho
said : "Thero are a great many people who
ask what is the use of sending money to for
eign missions ; woufd not money spent In
religious work at home secure better results ?
To such a question every Christian must give
one answer. If you had naked the men who
stood before Santiago this summer , why did
you charge across that rocky meadow and
swamp to drive out the Spaniards ? if you had
asked the captain , why did you lead your
men in such nn enterprise , why did you not
sit down in the camp and wait for the sur
render ? I fancy the soldier's and the cop-
tain's answer. 'Wo wcro under orders. '
This is just the answer that Christians must
glvo to similar questions regarding foreign
missions. "
Mrs. Clabaugh's address was explanatory
of the methods and working plans of mis
sions , both foreign and home , and It was
closed with an appeal to members of the
txjclety and congregation to continue the
contributions 'that ' have made Nebraska fa
mous as * mission supporting state.
GRAND OPERA ON A SUNDAY
International Company SltiKi Fimal
mill I'lennen n I.urKC Omaha
Audience.
Despite the unfavorable conditions of a
Sunday night opening and the severity ol
a cold north wind , there was a paying
house at the Crolghton last night , when
Clementine DoVero and her company opened
a season only too ehort of grand opera
The house was more than comfortably filled
with an audience as exacting as it was en
thusiastic.
The fact that Sunday night had such an
audience Is a guarantee that the perform
ance of "Lucia" tonight will test the ca
pacity of the house.
Many good things have been said aboul
the company In advance , but It was clearlj
shown last night that "tho half has nol
been told. " Not since the Damrosch gram !
opera season of German standards has then
appeared on the local boards a company se
evenly balanced , so well equipped or BC
thoroughly rehearsed.
The opera of "Faust" displays Gounod al
his best , as a composer , and despite It :
somewhat impossible eltuattous and its anti
quated sentlmentallsm , It always will prov <
an attraction. This is practically duo tc
the possibilities of artistic achievement ir
the various roles. Slobcl , with her ( or his ]
"Flower" song , Valentine and his "Medal
lion , " recitative and cavatlna , Mephlsto , will
his "Calf of Gold , " Fauat , not to be Eoparntei
from "Salvo Dlmora , " and Marguerite's fa
mous "Jewel" song , prove strong Incentive :
to the production of tbo musical setting o
Goethe's Immortal drama. |
Clementine DeVero was an Ideal Marguer-
Ite. Her voice has not been Influenced , ex >
cept for the better , since her last appear-
unco hero. Her acting was sincere , unaf
fected and extremely artistic. Her volci
was fully equal to the role and also semi
encores. Her interpretation and delivery o
the muelc in the last act , when Margucrlti
Is insane , arouses an anticipation of thi
"mad" scene in "Lucia , " which she wil
present tonight.
The title role was ably sustained by Mr
Gcorgo Mitchell. While ho has not a super
fluous quantity of "high C's , " ho sings :
good heroic part , uses his voice well and
in an undemonstrative way , he shows con
fldenco and familiarity with the require
mcnts ot his role.
Slgnor Dellatl , as Valentine , gave an ex
ccllent portrayal ot bis part. Seldom , I
ever , has the "Dlo poe-ente" cavatlna ( evei
bravest heart may fall ) been sung bettc
than last night.
Mephlsto 'was magnificently acted and sum
by Slgnor Dado. His voice is round am
full and hla production Is gloriously easy.
.Mies Broadfoot showed a voice of remark
able compass and equality ot tone. He
work as Slebel left nothing to criticise.
The minor parts ot Martha and Wagne
were very satisfactorily carried out by Mis
Louise Engel and Mr. Parks , respectively.
The chorus was earnest , enthusiastic am
well trained In all its work and the sing
ing a capella at the death of Valentin
deserves special notice.
Th orchestra was finely adequate am
with the exception of a tendency to pla ;
fortissimo when the opposite , would bav
been sufficient , It was in accord with th
voices. Slgnor Saplo conducted with mud
warmth.
Taken M a whole the opera was a splendl
Buccesa and the company deserves wart
upport from local sources.

ALL KINDS OF TIME IN OMAHA
Why Watch Owners Are in Despair Over
Their Timepieces.
CLOCKS AND WHISTLES DO NOT AGREE

Some weeks ago an Omaha man bought a
Ino watch. It was provided with the ex-
anslon balance , was dust proof , full Jeweled
and regulated for heat and cold It was
warranted for a year and all of hw friends
nvlcd him his possession. Before taking
he watch out of the shop on the evening of
he purchase It was regulated and set so as
o run on standard time. The next morning
19 came down town as usual , and , Letting
iff at the corner of Fifteenth and Farnam
trccts , went over to a Jowclcry store near
jy , just to look nt the regulator there nnd
ascertain how his watch had been getting
long during the night. What was his
astonishment to learn that during the twelve
lour.s that ho had o.vncd the watch , It had
est six mlnutus. Of course , he thought that
he proper thing to do was to cot the watch
iy this regulator and so he did. Then ho
raveled down Douglas street a couple of
leeks and found another regulator , which
ndlcatcd that his watch had galne-1 two
nlnutcs while passing over the two blocks ,
hero was no further attempt to regulate
he watch until noon , nt which time the
vhlstles commenced to blow. The first one
o emit a noise was the big one at the Union
'aclfic ' shops , and this shrieked cut its
notes at fifteen minutes ahead of time , ac
cording to the expensive watch which the
aforesaid man carried in his pocket.
For years men , women and children have
sworn to the correctness of the Union Paclfla
vhlstlc , and for years It has been the custom
o set the family clock by It. It was the
custom in this man's family to do this very
hlng , and the hands of the fine watch were
vhlrlcd around to correspond with the sound
of the whistle. Twenty minutes later the
callopo whistle of the Ucmls bag factory
stirred up his thoughts , and having heard
hat the concern was regulated by electricity
each day , ho went upon the theory that it
could not bo wrong. Again the wheels of
the watch were brought Into action and
were turned back nearly half an hour.
When- Fate Overtook Him.
That afternoon this same man expected
o take a journey out into the mountains ,
rle consulted the time cards and ascertained
the time of the departure of the train on
ivhlch he expected to go. He went over ,
secured his ticket and his berth in the
sleeper and then patiently awaited the arrival
of the time for the departure of the train.
When it reached the hour , he consulted bis
watch and found ho had twenty minutes of
time to spare. Going on the theory that it
would bo better to be a little early than too
ate , he started for the depot and got down
onto the viaduct just 'In time to sec the train
moving around the curve In the vicinity of
Sheely. Still ho continued his journey to
the depot and compared his time with that
Indicated by the depot clock , only to dis
cover that according to this timepiece , he
was twenty-five minutes slow. Up town
ho went and flung the watch on the desk of
the jeweler from whom ho made the pur
chase , informing him that the thing was un
reliable and did not keep any kind of time ,
The Jeweler explained that here in Omaha
there are almost as many kinds of time as
there are timepieces and that about all of
them are considered reliable nnd correct.
There are some public clocks In Omaha
that are apparently set for men to com
mence work by , while others evidently run
for the sole purpose of indicating when to
quit work. Taking telegraph time as the
standard , and If you go by that alone , you
will miss the last car if you are down town
late at night , for when this clock Indicates
midnight , the street railway regulator will
show that it Is several minutes later and
that the last car Is well on the way to the
barn. If a schoolboy figures on starting to
school and follows the instructions of the
clock in the government building , he will
not only bo a straggler , but he will be tardy ,
as this clock is ten minutes slower than the
ono In the tower of the High school buildIng -
Ing , 'yet both are regulated almost daily and
are supposed to keep correct time.
Down on North Sixteenth street there is
a clock that while its owner declares that
it is the regulator of regulators , it does
business on its own account. It runs along ,
but still it runs thirty-six minutes ahead of
telegraph time and has been doing this for
a number of years. Around in that
neighborhood It is regarded as standard , but ,
nevcrthless , it is a notable fact that when
people go io work or church or start for
the depot to catch a departing train , they
consult their own watches , rather than this
particular clock.
Three In n Unnen.
Over in East Omaha there Is a whistle
that blows eighteen minutes later than
telegraph time , but people hercaways take
Into consideration the fact that it is some
distance , and make an allowance for the
time that is required for sound to travel.
They don't do anything of this kind , however -
over , when they figure time according to
that indicated by two clocks that are lo
cated at the corner of Fifteenth and Doug
las streets. One of these clocks Is on a
post and the cither is in a window of the
building. Doth ore marked standard time ,
yet'while they are less than thirty reel
apart they don't come within seventeen
minutes of getting together on the question
of time. High up In a tower of a building
across the street there Is another clock , but
It can't agree with Its more lowly and less
pretentious namesakes. It splits the differ
ence , nnd day after day Its hands move
around the dial , always indicating a time
that Is Just half way between the two clocks
heretofore referred to.
While the clocks In the Union Pacific
shops arp somewhat oxciUBive , they dc
business Just the same and several hundred
men respect the time that they keep and
set their watches accordingly. The whistle :
at the shops are set to blow In accordance
with the hours rolled off by the clocks , re
gardless of what tbo uptown clocks ma )
show or what their owners may think.
Time and again the city officials an < !
others have tried to figure out some waj
for having a standard time that will apply
to Omaha , but up to this time their effort :
have gone for naught and the Indication !
are that they will continue to live In ac
cordance with the custom of the past and
regulate their watches as best they caa.
GOOD SAFE BURGLAR WANTED
Retired Cfintalim Have the Safe al
the Jail Locked and Ilecllne
to Oneit It.
The police are hoping that chance maj
throw In their way a good safe blower. The
chief's safe is locked and he nor any of tn <
officers know the combination. All of thi
alleged expert cracksmen confined In the clt ]
Jail have ruined their reputations at the safe
but to no avail. The city will be forced tc
send to Chicago for nn expert from one of thi
safe companies unless some one can be fount
who has a magical touch. The comblnatloi
was thrown by ex-Captain Haze when ho lef
the service. Ho and ex-Captain Pnt Mostyi
nro the only ones in the city who know thi
combination and they won't tell. All often
to them to give up the secret they have re
fused. Their refusal is due to the fact tbal
they were so unceremoniously cut off thi
t i
orco nnd is one of pie methods they have
mployed to get even.
The safe contains n'-grr'nt deal ot valuable
oods , such as watches' , diamonds nnd money ,
aken from prisoners ; and held ns evidence ,

Vhlto will send for a'safe1 expert.
SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
Tuesday evening the rrinyor , council nnd
Ity attorney will meet with the committee
f nine appointed last wetk to take up the
question of charter revision. In this con-
icctton Mayor ICnsor says that the charter
light to bo so amended as to allow moro
ban 3 mills for flro department purposes.
The levy for thus purpose , the mayor thinks ,
ught to bo ct least C mills. The levy tor
lollco protection Is now only G mills and
his Is not considered enough. It Is thought
hat 8 mills at least should be provided.
Next In impcrtance would be a provision by
vhlch the paved streets could be kept In re-
olr. The guarantee on the Twenty-fourth
treet paving lias expired nnd from this time
n the city will have to pay for the repairs.
Jnder the present charter such repairs can
> c charged up to the abutting property.
This , the mayor thinks , is a hardship on
ropcrty owners , especially those on Twcnty-
ourth street , on N street nnd on L street.
\rrangemcnts should bo made , the mayor
ays , to permit necessary repairs to be mndo
and paid for out of n fund created for the
mrposc , or out of the general fund.
A sinking fund should be created for tha
nirposc of paying off obligations when due.
n this connection the mayor asserts that
a levy suinclent to pay interest on bonds
hould bo made. It happens occasionally
hat district obligations become due and
here Is not sufficient funds In that district
urn ) to meet the maturities. In such cases
ho city has to borrow money at the banks
o take up the coupons. This borrowing and
laying Interest could , it Is thought , be re-
luccd to n minimum by the creation or a
Inking fund. Further than this , the mayor
ays that the regulations governing the sanl-
ary affairs of the city should bo gone over
ind made clear. Some changes In the law
should be made so that it would satisfy the
majority of the people.
City Counell Program.
A meeting of the city council Is on the
) ooks for tonight. It Is thought that the
xidy will take some action In relation to the
petition of O street property owneio in con-
icctlon with the grading of the street from
Thirteenth to Seventeenth streets. The resi
dents in that locality are very anxious to
mve the street graded and are pushing the
matter along as much as possible.
Another Important matter will be the pas
sage of a resolution in connection with the
proposed subway under the Burlington tracks
nt Thirty-sixth street. 'It Is asserted that a
grade crossing woiihVbo dangerous and even
with a watchman stationed at the crossing
accidents might happen. The Burlington
will bo urged to open the street under the
racks and thus do a'.way ' with a watchman
and an electric light at that point.
For Quarantined Stock.
The tunnel under the tracks at theatook
yards is nearlng completion. This tunnel
extends from the Texas division to the Hammond
mend and Swift run ways-and will be used
expressly for quarantine 'cattle. ' The walls
were constructed of 'piling and after these
lad been driven the dirt1 between the two
rows of piles was taken out , reaving nn un
derground runway. Heretofore It has been
necessary to load Hammond's and Swift's
quarantine stock into ears at the Texas dl- ,
vision and switch to the unloading chutes.
This new runway -will do away with this
loading and unloading and much time will
bo saved in the handling of quarantined
stock.
Conirrntiilntc the Captain.
Captain Etter was kept busy yesterday
'orenoon receiving the congratulations of his
friends. Nearly all of the prominent re
publicans calloj on the new postmaster and
expressed pleasure at the appointment. The
announcement made Saturday night that
Harvey D. Mcsely would bo named as deputy
lostmaster appears to please a large number.
Mr. Mosely has held a responsible position
with the Stock Yards company for the last
seven years and is exceedingly popular , espe
cially among the young republicans. Mr.
Mosely was ono of the orgnalzera of the
Young Men's Republican club here and was
elected Ita president , nn office which ho now
liolda.
Improves Wnter 1'rendiire.
The stub ends of water mains at N , 0 and
M streets hnvo been connected and the water
pressure is consequently much Improved in
this section of the city. A fire hydrant was
located last week at Twentieth and N streets
when the stub ends at Twentieth and N
and Twentieth and O streets were connected.
With the many Improvements made this
Bummer and the largo number of additional
hydrants located South Omaha now has a
first-class water system.
OppoxUlou to I'litmhliiK Ordinance.
Real estate men are up in arms at the
proposed amendment to the plumbing ordl-
nanco and It Is possible that a united effort
may be made to Induce the council to turn
the amended ordinance down when It comes
up for final passage. These agents of prop
erty assert that It Is ridiculous to have to pay

for CoiiHlileratloii.
The opening meeting of Unity club for the
year was held Friday evening at the resi
dence of William Wallace. The club this
year Includes three sections : Roman civic
history , under the leadership of C. S. Lobln-
glerj a literature section , embracing the
study of American short stories , directed by
Miss Laura B. Pfelffer , and a series of lec
tures on French literature given by Jean do
Kolty.
The two first sections alternate with each
other , meeting on Friday evenings at the
homes of the members. The third meets
once In two weeks on Monday evening in
the assembly room of the Omaha Public
library.
The work opened auspiciously , a majority
of the membership , already numbering sixty ,
being present. Mr. Loblngler in his remarks
preliminary to the papers referred briefly to
th work of the three previous years in
civic Jilstory and then outlined clearly the

nnd I began with that. To my surprise nnd delight I was
nblo to sleep soundly the first niglit , and from tlmt time on
my condition Improved steadily. The headaches disap
peared , my appetite returned , I was no longer nervous and
Irritable , and I could Ret through with n big day's work
without feeling fagged out and exhausted ns I used to.
After I went to the front last spring with my regiment I
was attacked with typhoid fever , and I bcllovo It would
Rurely have gotten the best of mo but for the strength I
obtained from Nervine I am talcing It again now and
also Dr. Miles' ' llcstorotlvo Tonic and soon expect to Join

Soldiers are not the only ones who need clear heads ,
steady nerves and strong bodies. In the great battles of
life the conlllcts are none the less deadly. Kvcry day brings
Its llerco unceasing strife ; every night leaves Its multitudes
of dead and dying. The man or woman who would combat
fatigue and overcome disease must be fortified with aa
abundance of nerve force , vitality and resistive power. Dr.
Miles' ' Nervine will help you to win In the battles of life ,
by giving yon the very strength and power yon seek.
From Mr. F. C. Mathcls , a leading merchant of Silver
Creek , N.Y. , conies the following : "About two years ago I
was troubled with nervousness and sleeplessness and be
came so run down that 1 was not lit to attend to my busi
ness. After taking six bottles of Dr. Miles' Nervlno was
completely cured of my trouble , and returned to my busi
ness cares with increased energies. "

SAN JUAN'S MAYOR RESIGNS
1'crNlnteiit Opposition CniiHen Him to
Grow AVenry of Ilolillntf
an Ollltre.
SAN JUAN DE POHTO RICO , Nov. 20.
Senor Delvalle , mayor of San Juan , has ten
dered his resignation because of the per
sistent nnd unreasonable opposition of mem
bers ot the city council to veto any efforts in
behalf of the city.
U Is said that Senor Munoz , president of
the council secretaries , under the old regime.
Influenced the councilmen , a majority of
whom are liberals , to antagonize Senor De-
vallo , who Is an Independent in politics and
qulto free from partisanship. Devnllo was In
excellent repute as a mayor and general re
gret Is expressed at his resignation. The
appointment of Senor Manuel Roman as his
successor Is considered satisfactory to
Munoz. Roman is a professional politician
and belongs to the same party as Munoz.
Monslgnor Valdez , the Spanish bishop of
? orto Hlco , has resigned the diocese , al-
eglng that It Is Impossible for him to serve
another country than Spain. The local
clergy wcro paid by the United States for
ast September , but no money Is forthcom-
ng and it is believed that Bishop Valdez re
signed for this reason. Now that the gov
ernment support Is withdrawn the future of
the church of ) Rome In Porto Rico will depend -
pond entirely upon voluntary contributions.

Antl-ClKurcttf I.nw Constitutional.
KNOXVILLE , Tenn. , Nov. 20. The nntl-
clgaretto law passed by the last legislature
Is declared constitutional In an opinion
given to the press today by Judge Caldwell
of the supreme court ot the state. Tha
opinion declares that cigarettes arc not le
gitimate articles of commerce , because they
are wholly noxious nnd deleterious to health
and therefore are not within the provision
of the federal constitution protecting legiti
mate commerce. It also holds that tha
conventional cigarette package U not an
"original package" In the true commercial
sense , for which additional reason the fed
eral law has no application to this statute.
The sale of cigarettes ha * been stopped here
by order of the police. The decision will
likely .bo contested In the federal supreme
court.
