Infantry brigade, a regiment of cavalry and
Kome artillery to protect the French lega

tlnn. A part of this. It Is understood, will
be employed to guard tno Franco-llclglan
railroad from I'ckln to Tien Fit.
In French military circles It Is nssertrd
that the French Intend to send a force to
be stationed permanently at llan Kow and
to guard the other end of the M tlnn rail
road, seventy-rivo miles of, which have,
been completed. More definite Information
on this point Is nwaltcd with anxiety by
the HrlUh, who regard such an Intention
with serious misgivings, hecattso calculated
to bring about complications with the Vang

There will- be no meeting of the board of

In the meantlmo the olllcers of the com

that nothing can bo done In the matter of
tho erection of a new street car barn until

Some Pulpit Themes
I'll I th Hint Miiti-H Moiintiilnx.
A series of revival meetings was begun
nt tho First Iluptlst church yesterday by
I)r J. P. Orecn, president of William Jewell
college. Dr. (Irccn preached two sermons
yesterday nnd will nsslst tho pastor. Hcv.
C. II. Allen, Jr., In conducting Hcrvlcc&
every evening this week.
"Faith" wns the theme of Dr. Oreen'a
sormon yesterday morning. The story of
Abraham'.! willingness to offer his son ns a
sacrifice was relntcd by tho preacher and
Abraham was referred to as tho man ot
abboluto faith.
"Tho average man has little faith. It)
a. SQvere test men nro amazed to find that
they bellevo little. It Is not wise for
Christians to bonst nt their religion. Re
ligion ts not n good thing to bonst of. The
moro n man talks of religion tho less he
Is npt to huve," snld Dr. Oreen. "We may
havo lino creeds nnd may profess to be
llevo them with grent fidelity, but In tin)
hour of trial nnd aflllcllnn all theso nre
frequently wiiBhed away nnd (Jod nlono re
mains for us.
"In Abraham the world Is shown a mnn
who had perfect faith In (lod. Ho pre
pared to execute tho orderB of the Lord In
eplto of the fai t that tho death of his son
Isaac would havo been tho greatest nfMc
tlon that could havo befallen him. Ho did
not consult his wife and his friends as to
whether he should obey tho Lord. Ho did
not try to Invent somo means ot avoiding
tho orders of his Master.
"This grent trial came to Abraham Into
In life. It Is not so In tho career of most
men. We ordlnnrlly meet our reverses nnd
temptations early In life, Wit we would do
well to Imltato the oxnmplo set by Abra
ham. Ho stands forth as tho fathor of
Jews nnd Christians alike, tho man who
was faithful In the greatest trial man over
encounterrd. No man enn realize whether
ho possesses faith until ho meets such a
trial as Abraham encountered."

llev. 0. N. Dawson, pr.stor of the Seward
Street Methodist Episcopal church,
preached Sunday morning on tho theme,
"Perls of City Life." "In.aglno a Oodless,
churcblesH, Sabbathless city," he said, "a
city of saloons, wlucrooms, brothels,
gambling dens, vulgarity, obscenity, pro
faulty, drunkenness, wretchedness, misery,
wiint nnd woe a veritable Sodom, given
over to the worship of llaechus lust riding
'with loose rein riot running rampant
tho homo of vice nnd voluptuousness! What
' wonder that It Is written that Abrahnm
looked across tho plain one morning nnd
nw tho smoko of such a city, arising as the
smoke of an oven. Sin brought ruin. Tho
wages of pin Is death to the individual, tho
city or tho nntlon. Tho snme snd story Is
true of Nlnoveh, Ilabylon and other cities.

Like the Hoyt plays, the Smith, rtrowu
nml .tone fnrres will nlnaVfl find favor
with a class of theater-goers who enjoy a
hearty laugh nnd those who do not caro to
havo their other emotions played up,on by
tho heavier forms of dramatic entertain
ment. It matters little whether tho com
pany bo good, bad or Indifferent, so long
ns the laughs are In tho lines and situa
tions, as In 'the case with Mark Swan'n
"Ilrown's In Town," which opened an en
gagement at Iloyd's theater Sunday after
noon, and one Is pretty suro of being forced
to laugh enough to add n few pounds
nvolrdupols, If there is nny truth In thnt
old saying that "to laugh Is to grow fat."
Thf company that presents "nrown" this
season, which Is tho second time this clover
farco has been seen here, Is nn evenly bal
anced nnd caimhle one. It Is headed by
Miss Maude Knowlton. a comedienne whom
locnl theater-goers will remember for her
clever work ns Mrs, Brown In the plcco
Inst season. Miss Knowlton Is oven more
handsome nnd winsome thnn ever. There
Is it tone nnd finish to her work that
stamps her as an artiste of ability and om
worthy n stellar position In the theatrical
firmament. There Is a number of merito
rious specialties Introduced during tho per
formance, among which nre some good Imi
tations by Oeorgo Kbnrr ami some enter
taining songs and clever dancing by Jessie
Mae Hall.
Tho engagement continues tonight and
concludes Tuesday night. ,
C'ri-lulif on Orilieiini
The vaudeville entertnlnment offered at
the Crelghton-Orpheum Inst week was con
sidered by regular patrons of this form
of entertainment to bo one of tho best that
hns been seen nt this popular playhotlsh
during tho present season. The highest
compliment that can be paid this week's
program, which had Its Initial production
Sunday afternoon, is that It Is In every
way as good as nnd In Home ways better
than Its predecessor.
Headed as It Is by that family of ac
robats, tho nlno Nelsons, with seven other
meritorious nets, there Is no good reason
why It should not please everybody. Thl3
Is tho third season the Nelsons have played
this theater, and while there has been
but little change In their marvelous act It
creates ns much Interest nnd enthusiasm
as though It were entirely now. Tho poo.
plo seem never to tiro of seeing this fnmlly,
which has really become dccliUdly pop
ular here. A tenth member In the person
of a. tiny 2-yenr-old girl has been added
to the troupe and she Is by no means tho
lenst Important personage In tho fnmlly.
Thomas Dempsey, William K. Mnck and
Margaret Ilurnham offer ono of ,the most

keep the audience In nn upronr of laughter
during almost the entire twenty minutes
of Its progress. It Is well Interpreted and
a decided hit.
Mrs. Hlltz-Paxton, a rather hnndaomo
worn nn, who, until recently dlvorcod from
her husband, was quite prominent In San
Francisco social circles, nnd who through
force of circumstances entered tho dra
matic profession, offers n vocal specialty
that Is one of the features of the bill. She
has a soprano voice of beautiful quality
and rich tone and wins considerable np
plauso by the rendition of some light clas
sical pieces and a popular nlr of long ago,
"Annie Laurie.
Tho Learner sisters do a clever acrobatic
act. Hacker nnd Lester perform sorao de
cidedly dlfllcult and dangerous feats upon
tho bicycle. Coakley and Hucsted offer a
itnglng nnd dancing net thnt wins with
tho audience, especially the dancing of Mr.
Coakley. Ahern and I'ntrick and tho
Klnodromo pictures, which arc all new this
week, complete tho bill.
Mtneo's Troeiutcro
Fred Irwin's nig Show, which opened to
capacity business at Mlaco's Trocadcro yes
terday, Is by far tho best entertnlnment
offered at the houso this season. It Is In
deed a big show, as about thlrty-slx people,
who uecm to be the limit In the burlesque
lino, appear In the performance. Mr,
Irwin has evidently not been carried away
from tho correct managerlnl point of view,
for ho has permitted his observations to
cover the whims of the plensuro-scckcrs
who sit In front and look for something
moro than pretty girls In gaudy attire. He
States lived In cities of 8,000 or moro; in
1890, one out of three.
"Among tho perils of city life I mention
first the fact that tho city Is tho homo ot
political bosslsm, tho homo of tho saloon.
Chicago has one saloon to every 218 of
population, Now York ono to every 200,
Cleveland one to every 192. Tho city Is tho
home of criminals. In 1850 there wns ono
criminal In tho United States to every
8.50U of population; In 1890 ono to every "SO.
"In the slum portion of cities the saloon
Is twice ns numerous ns In other parts nnd
Illiteracy le four times as great. Tho
church Is falling to keep step with tho
growth of tho cities. Its tendency Is to
movo back to respectable portions of tho
'town. We need n revival of Christian
sympathy, missionary zenl, religious socia
bility, love for souls tho spirit of work."
Huw In AVorNlilp (ioil.
"Uod is a spirit nnd they that worship
Him must worship Him In spirit and In
truth."
This wns tho text employed by Rev. J. W.
Jennings, presiding elder of tho Omaha
district In his morning dlsrourso nt Hans
com Park church Sunday. "Tho woman at
the well to whom Christ spoke these
words," snld Rev. Dr. Jennings, "was Just
such a person as wo find often today.
Her untcrlnllsm brought her to tho point
of doubting. 'How is It?' sho asked' 'tlm
well is deep nnd Thou hnst nothing with
which to draw wntcr.' Hut God was then
nud Is today nil powerful.
"Jcsua explained to tho woman that the
water of life needed no vohlclo In which
to be carried other than tho thirsty one's
willingness to accept It. Christ Is the con
necting link betweeu tho natural nnd tho
spiritual. Ho Is tho true mediator of tho
inexhaustible, human needs nnd the inex
haustible reservoirs of lnllnlto supply.
Christ Is tho keystone In tho nrch of nges
nil human, nil natural and yet all dlvlno
nnd nil spiritual,
"Christ began where Moses stopped.
Christianity in Its spiritual precepts, Its
spiritual truth. Its spiritual oxpcrlenco nnd
Its fcplritunl destiny supersedes and rises
far nbove JudaUm. It is possible In every
Chrlstlnn experience to havo the conlldence
of Paul when he declared 'I know whom I
have believed.'
"Wo n ay havo to change our views about
forms and about the letter ot tho law.
Tho one thing that will never chango ts
tho spirit. It is of tho eternal: 'I know
whom I havo believed nnd Ho will keep
thnt which I have committed against that
day.' "

a suggestion to tho members of tho Wo
man's club to boycott nil newspapers that
publish objectionable advertising.
"Tho women of this city havo it In tholr
power to cleanse the advertising columns of
the local newspapers," said tho preacher,
"by simply refusing to tako Into tholr
homes any paper that prints an advertise
ment of patent medicine or nny other oh
Jecttonnblo article. When they refuse to
rend such n paper tho dry goods merchants
and other heavy local advertisers will not
use the medium, and In order to bring back
this class of profitable business tho pub
Ushers will soon glvo Into tho demands
of the women."
Mr. Trofz began his discussion on the
subject of billboards. "Every city," said
he, "has a right to bo beautiful and. In
fact, It Is not complete until It ts beautiful
If thero Is one thing that mars tho beauty
of our Amerlcnn cities moro than do tho

tho existence of tho billboard. It serves

billboard Is a nuisance, nn offenso t
aesthetic nnturo and a menace to our moral
welfare"
Mr. Trefz said the newspapers should ho
censured for advertising fraudulent medical
nibtltules, quack doctors nnd nil patent
medicines. Ho snld:
"A newspaper thot attempts to cxcrclso
a strong moral Inlluenco through Its cdl
torlalB and endeavors to ail hero to the
truth In Its news reports- nullities such
work for tho unllftlng of humanity when
It carries lies and demoralizing luforma

effect It lies. Any newspaper that gives

deserves tho same measure of conmire,

At tonight's meeting of the council Mar

nance providing for the opening of Y
street from Twenty-fifth street across tho
Union Pacific and Itock Island rlght-or-
ay. It Is deemed necessary to open n
(rest across tho tracks In order to ncrom-
modnto the residents In the vicinity of
Highland school. At present the tracks
re fenced from tho 0 street viaduct south
to' Morrill's crossing In Albright. In order
to assist In tho opening of Y street Malthas
otter hns offered to dedicate n strip 01

Ixty feet In width from Twenty-seventh
o Thirtieth street. The dedication of this
much ground will nsslst grenlly In iirrnng-
ng tho details of the opening of the street.
Many small property owners arc anxious to
have this street opened, but It Is nssertod
that tho railroads are opposed to It, as
watchmen will have to be stationed nt th-3
rosslng nnd an electric light maintained.
'ouniilmnn Martin thinks, however, that
the ordinance will pass In spite of tho op

Something will most likely bo done with
ho refunding bond Issue, 'as. tho commit-
eo appointed some time ago will very
likely make n report. The bonds can be
old at par without any question, but tho
council Is nnxlous to secure a premium.
Tho premium question hasp however, been

Something may bo dono about erecting n
new high school building. Ono plan is to
rect a wing containing eight or ten rooms
nd thus relieve the prcssuro on the prcs
nt Central school. If arrangements can
be coti'plet'ed the work of preparing the

on account of the city's flnnnclnl condition.
As tho school district Is not bonded it is

Checking City Hooks.
Recently tho committee on finance of the

to check tho books of tho city treasurer and
tho clerk. In tho past this work has been
done ouco a year at a cost of from $225 to
2S0. Now the committee has In view an
expert who will undertake to do the check-
ng for $1"C. Councilman August. Miller Is
of tho opinion that thero Is no necessity
at this time to expend this amount of
money nnd will so recommend to the coun
cil. Ho says that when Treasurer Koutsky
completes his term tho books will havo to
bo checked nnd a rpport made. As Kout
sky Is under good and sufficient bonds. Mil-
cr does not think that tho expenditure Is
warranted at this! time, especially on ac
count of the depleted condition ot the treas
ury. AVant Cienn Streets.
Frequent complaints nro made to city of
ficials In regard to tho draymen who con
gregato at the corner of Twenty-fifth and
N streets. The constant standing of horses
at this corner causes an accumulation ot
manure, which Is permitted to remain on
