Westminster Presbyterian Sunday school devoted Its Sunday morning service to "Rec ognition Day" exercises. The pistor , Rev. T. V. Moore , wns supported on the platform liy H. L , . Krcldcr , superintendent of the Sunday school , and George T. Prince , the head of the committee which conducts the quarterly , written examinations. Mr. Prlnco explained how the i-chool is divided Into grades and that examinations are held every thrco months on the Rtudics of the year. Cer tificates of merit are given to all who obtain an average ) of 75 per cent for the year and prlzoa to those who obtain the highest aver age In each grade. These were given by the superintendent to the following pupils : In grade ono , to Grace Moore , average for the ycur a.1 per cent , prize , large copy of head of .Hoffman's "Christ Among the Doc tors ; " grade two , Mary L. Krelder , average S6 per cent , prizeRaphael's Slstlne ( Madonna , mother and child ; grade three , > Mary ! . Scott , average "ii per oent , prize morocco-bound copy of the revise * ! version of the bible. Prizes for attendance during the year were also given to Howard Doane , Charles b. Cocke , jr. , and Georgia Coppel. Before the distribution of the prizes the pastor spoke on Deuteronomy , vl , vll : "Thou ohalt teach them diligently unto thy chil dren. " Ho said : "The bible has tilled the Kreatcst place and exercised the greatest influence of any book the world ever had. Other religions have ; their sacred books. Nona of them has any such place In the world's history as the bible. Xo book has ' Influenced tho' literature , ' thought or laws and Institutions of our Anglo-Saxon race like the bible. Not to know the bible Is to bo ignorant In one of the cardinal points of a good education. Nothing has such moral and religious power as the truths of this book. It contains the purest ethics and the hlghost religious conceptions to he found In the world. Not the book Itself is of value , howcror , but what is in the book ; Its prin ciples nnd truths wrought Into human lives. Onu might wear the bible In the lining of nil his clothed and carry its words about on him as the JOWH did In their phylacteries , but It would do him no good unlcus Its contents got Into his heart nnd life. The only ngency In existence in America for thus teaching thu truths nf the bible ays- 'tomnticnlly to all the people In general Is the Sunday school. The public schools do rot do It as they do In German gymnasia nnd Scotch schorls. There are homes In tLls congregation of which It can he said thnt If the children were left to the knowl edge of the bible which their parents taught them , they would grow up practically heathen. This lifts the Sunday school Into a dignity and UH uork Into an importance which few attach to It. We should make cvory effort to bring this Instrument to the highest possible cfilclency. " At the close examples wore rend of an swers given In the examinations by children 1 < if the school , many of which ohowcd re 1 markable accuracy nd knowledge- the subject.

" Chrht , i the great soul winner , he saU. wna deeply I In earnest In all He did , especially In His contat with man. Those who would he MU-- cceeful In soul winning mail have Christ's estimateof the soul. Sin to Him was n ' dtmnlng power. He cnme to seek men bs- | cause they were lost. In Ills estimation sin was ns poison , In the hlood. His apprecia tion of the soul was manifested In His con duct with the woman of Siimarla , when In Ilia zeal far the saving of her soul He forgot that He was hungry and thirsty and tired. The value lie placed upon the soul was shown when he said : "What shall It profit n man If ho gain the whole world and lose his own poulV Another evidence of the \alue of the soul In In the assurance thnt the anfielH rejoiced over ono that was saved. Do we enter Into that rejoicing ? We shout Jubilantly when a candidate \ elected or scream out our glee over a game of base ball , but do we rejoice when n soul Is saved ? In order to be successful soul winners wo must be saved ourselves and must cleanse our own hearts from sin. Our own misdeeds destroy our capabilities for sonl saving.

M < -n .tliiNl lie .ImlKfil liy Wlmt Tlu'V Do , At the I'll si Congregational church Sun day morning Kev. Hubert C. Herring fixed a standard by which men might Judge thulr fellows. "Tho habit of measuring men , " ho said , "Is ono which we adopt Involun tarily. AH we greet our acquaintances on the stieet wo mentally comment upon them. Ono Is pleasant and courteous , another un civil : ono we Judge to bo honest , another wo look at with suspicion. While all these estimates may be to u certain extent ac curate , they are at best superficial and In complete. This human manner of Judgment was referred to by Christ when He said , 'Many that are first shall bs last and the laflt first. ' In forming our earthly judg ments Hlioulil wo not also have in mind that final reckoning day when men must account for their talents ? "Tho most searching question one may ask In forming a fair estimate of his fellow IB , What Is ho doing with his possibilities ? The gauge Is not what a man has In wealth of brain or goods , but rather what he Is doing with what he has. We all know Unit the gulf between what one is and what he might have been Is one for which he can never forgive himself. Whoever lives meat closely to that which Is high and noble In his nature is entitled to the fullest share of our respect and admiration. " CIIIIISTIAMTV AS A tSOVKUX.MHVi" . Counterpart of I'olltlrnl ( iovormnriitu K\HH | | In tlir Clnirt-li. Rev. Dr. Sargent , pastor of St. Mary's Avcnua Congregational church , spoke Sun day morning to an Interested congregation from the subject : "The Republic of God. " He compared Christianity to the govern ment o' a republic and In Its early stages described the cabinet with which God , the supreme ruler , surrounded Himself. Ho designated the disciples as different cabinet officers with Judas as the secretary of the treasury , who afterward stole the gold. "The government of this republic , " he said , "had for Its policy the policy of love. " "Subjects of this government of Christ arc afforded many opportunities and advan tages , " ho said. "The first thing that It gives Is security. Even the great conqueror. Death , has no power over the members of } Christ's republic for the reason thnt through the long way God will guide the steps of His J subjects aright. This government gives lux ury the luxury of faith , the luxury of enJoying - Joying the divine gifts showered from above * , the luxury of appreciating the beauties of nature. " Continuing Or. Sargent spoke of the education which God's government gives j and of the great gift He made when He gave I His only hegolVu son to the world. He as serted that It was necessary for Chrlulnns to reciprocate In the matter of giving , raentlcn- I Ing the Importance of giving time , prayer ' and love to the service of God.

The first two perform ances of It given Sunday attracted the usual large audiences despite the fact that the mer cury wns hunting the bottom of the tube , n time when the home fireside la usually more alluring than the theaters. Those who did venture out , however , seemed to be amply repaid us waa Indicated by the enthusiastic displayed nt both the afternoon nnd evening performances. Perhaps the most Interesting number on the program , at least to local residents , was the appearance of a former Omaha girl , MIsH Gertrude Rutledge , a vocalist of exceptional talent and personal beauty , who sings n number ft well chosen selections. Miss Rut- ledge has a soprano voice of splendid qual ity an I one which shows the effects of care ful training. She is ono of If not the beat ballad singers thnt have appeared nt the Or- phfum. Her ex.-ellcnt rendition of "The Olrl I Left Behind Me" was quite a revela tion , ns the manner In which she did It added new beauties to this popular old song. Stanton and Modena , the "top liners. " who were seen here last season , presented their amusing little comedy , "For Reform , " which proved so successful during their former engagement. Hnrrlgan , the tramp juggler , Is one of the cleverest performers in his line that has ever appeared here. La Sylphe , a lythc and graceful dancer , offers some new things In the terpslchorean line. The Wartonberg brothers perform some exceedingly difficult feats In the acrobatic line ns well as playing a number of differ ent muslsal instruments. Baby Ruth Roland Is above the average child artist nnd offers an act that Is really entertaining rather than tiresome , as most Juvcnllo peclaltlos are. She sings Pauline Halt's famous doll song and tosses a dozen or so Japanese dolls Into the audience. "A Slrunsrer ' " * w York" "A Stranger In New York" exhibited him self briefly at Boyd's theater , his possible adventures being set forth by Shubert's Mu sical company. The aggregation haa consid erable virtue in Its heels and some excel lence In its voice , apparently natlsfylng a large audience at the two performances. Th > fact thnt the Hoyt piece wan In Omaha laflt year with an all-star cast. Including Harry Connor , Harry Gllfoll , George Bean nnd Anna Boyd , was not allowed to weigh against the present rendition , which Is in the hands of conscientious specialists. The specialties In fact were the most meri torious part of the program. Charles Hooker and Mabclle Davlca were especially well received In n dancing turn. The pair had previously been seen en the Midway in tHr city nnd had dlfllculty In supplying a sufficiency cf encores. Incidental to the final act Sidney Grant , a clever elocutionist , gave gome excellent Imperfonatlons of well known Htago people and had a capable part ner In Miss Norton , who makes some rather biting remarks on the foibles of her sex. The story of the piece recites the vUlt of a stranger In the metropolis who. through good fortune and a quick wit , wins his way Into faablonnblo drawing rooms , traveling under the personality of other better known but moro clumsy Individuals. The plot cul minates at the French ball at the MadUon Square garden. QUARTET GIVES A BENEFIT After ( lie llpiirflclnry llnil Skliipil tilth Hi f llox HPPPI | | H Vnrlpiy In n I'l-ourriiiu.

Kuray of Omaha , nnd at one time a reporter on The Heo , ' now n member of Company F , Thirty- i ninth Infantry , stationed nt Manila , hp.s ; w-rltten an Interesting letter of his travels , i i The letter bears date of Deccm- ! I her 10 , 1890. The delay In trans- j i j mission wns caused by the fact that there j was a lapse of several days before a mall- Ing point was reached. Mr. Kuray travclel to Manila on the steamer St. Paul. The St. I'aul , so Mr. Kuray explains , was | originally built for the Alneknn trade , but was pressed Into transport service for the Philippines after the war broke out. The sanitary equipment is not of the best , so the letter Indicates , and the writer puts a j question mark after the word "misfortune" I when he tells of his Journey. He Implies ' that It Is not altogether a bed of roses , j Humor creeps Into the letter when Mr. j Kuray explains the menu on board ship. One of the principal dishes handed out for ; supper Is named "plum duff , " but the men j who eat It prefer to call It a "bad bluff. " I It Is made of three prunes and n spoanful ' of rice. Mcst of the- vegetables used on the beats are ancient , so the writer says. Entering Into details Mr. Furay says : "The transport potato deserves special mention , though that mention would hardly he honorable. H Is Indeed wonderfully made. I use the word 'made' advisedly. j for I have every reason to boll eve that It is preserved or 'embalmed. ' "In the largo potatoes one runs across what might be called a core , hard and hitter - tor and often of n very black color. This may bo from natural causes entirely , as 1 am not up on the embalming processes , but If this bo so It certainly Is not the opinion of the 750 enlisted men aboard the St. Paul. I'oiir CiioUInK * . "The cookingIn all done by steam and very poorly. Then , too , the rascally cooks are apt to be short on the rations , a thing not calculated to keep n soldier's temper In good order. While we were In Honolulu the transpoit Duke of Klfe came In , having six companies of the Thirty-eighth aboard , nnd reported thnt they had had a mutiny. It seema that the cooks had been saving tfie choicest bits of beef and selling them to the aoldlers at 10 cents a steak. A a a consequence both the meat and bread rations were short at- most continually. The conditions bcamo almost unbearable and when two days out of Honolulu the companies formed on deck and inarched to the kitchen , where they seized the thrco cooks and proceeded to hoU a kangaroo court. The whole proceedings did not take ten minutes nnd the guilt of the victims having been made manifest Micro wns a. demand from the men that they bn thrown overboard. Of course It was sug gested as a Joke , but with hungry men a Jest soon may become earnest nnd so It was in this case. Of course all this could not have ocsurrcd without the knowledge of the regimental officers nnd they soon stopped it. The guard , however , was Inclined to sym pathize with the men , but discipline prevailed - vailed and the cooks were allowed to go after the men had been assured that their places would be supplied by enlisted men and that they would be properly punished. "Whether or not the "men would have per sisted In their demand to throw the cooks overboard Is hard to say , but I believe they would have done so. I would not blame them for it. Argument la a poor thing to feed a hungry man on. H seems that sev eral of the officers were of the some opinion for they managed to nppeape the wrath of the commanding officer and smooth the whole affair over. You will imagine that from the amount of sprvco I have devote ! to the feeding arrangements that the hearts of the soldiers nre situated very near their stomachs. In that you are not very far wren ? nnd I think the same will hold good with every class of men. At least I have found It so. < ; < ICN A-KIflhlnir. "With my usual good luk , however , I have not fared PO badly In the grub line. One of my hunkinatca has been detailed to assist In the officers' .mess room nnd as a consequence I have fared pretty well. For the first few days all was easy of accom plishment , but when they put a guard on th door of the cook's galley my hopes foil and for two or three days I was forced to sufcoist on plain fare. However , my braln rallied to the rescue of my stomach and ifow all la i plain sailing. I "It is hard to outwit a full grown guard , especially when bribery falls. This , of course , we tried , but found that the guard always wanted the lion's share. Ono day on the hurricane deck I nolled the Iron ventilator * utilizing them. ; and my ulomash suggested I All that Is nccetsary Is to go flailing. I ! procured a string and n lard bucket. Then !

The Inter state Commerce commission , in an action in equity brought in the United States cir cuit court against the Northern Pacific Rnll- road company , shows n desire to make ef fective by appeal to the federal courts those or(5c3 of the commission which , dur ing many years , have been to a large ex tent disregarded by railway Companies. The commissioners are said to have now adopted ti procedure that will revolutionize their relations wHh the principal companion. If the court grants the assistance that the new procedure demands the Interstate Com merce commlEfdon will be hereafter a tri bunal that can punish instead of a friend that can advise. The bill IB a petition that the court compel the Northern Pacific company to answer the commission's charge that the company has continued to Ignore an order issued by ' .he commission las1 November , relative to the adjustment of rates on cer tain commodities from the Twin Cities , Ancka , Elk River and St. Cloud to uierlor. West Superior and eastern cities.

Such discrimination Is a vlolatlorl of the interstate commerce nt. It was charged that the rate from St. Cloud to Superior nnd eastern points was higher than fiom the Twin Cities , Anaka and Klk Rlvor to Superior and the same eastern points. The matter was heard by the commission In this city last August. After conalderatloi an order was Issued lost November which It Is said the railway company bus contlnu- ' ously disregarded. i Pending the decision of the cane the court ! Is petitioned to restrain the railway company ! from continuing to violate the commission' ! ! j order. The defendant Is to appear in court ' March 5.
