"Thn Liquor Traflle" was tho niibject

baso my talk tonight nn a thought con
tained In tho aecond chapter of tho proph

inoiit faithful plcturo of tho liquor traffic
of today and o most fc:irful nrralcmnont
of this awful crlmo ngaltmt Ood and man.
"Tho crlmo of thn civilized world la tho
drink tratric. It Is tho turn of all vlUalnlcB.
It Is worno than war, pcnttlctice anil famine
combined. It Is tha Juggernaut of our
Christian worldl 'O, thou spirit of wlno,'

Tho crlmo too black and tcrrlblo to be com

toxicants cannot bo dono by men or devils,
SThlii evil out-IIerod3 Ilerod.
"This traffic destroys men and nations,
men nnd women, boyn and girls, govcrn
xnents nnd homes and blots out ovcrv
hopo of henven. It 1h tho poor man's worst
enemy. A body of working men marching
through Chicago bad this Inscription on
their banner: 'Our children cry for bread,'
aad went to a picnic and drank 1,400 ko.pi of
boor. Pennsylvania ono yenr received Into
Its treasury from tho saloon traffic $1,600,
000 nnd expended becnuso of It $76,000,000.
It Is tho worBt foo to tho church. Our coun
try has 8,000,000 young men, of whom 400.
000 aro Christians, but of tho 8,000,003
only 3,000,000 nttend church. Whcro nro the
0,000,000? Doubtless many of them aro In
tho dramnhops, for In one hour not long
Bin co In Cincinnati, 2.1ft young men passed
Into ono saloon! I mot last week on n train
a young man soldier returning from tho
Philippines. I nuked him If ho was a Chris

In his own country, sick und without Christ

"In Ilfo wo hnvii God's light on our duty,
ton our opportunities and on tho mysteries
of being," said Hov. C. Clny Clssell In his
Sunday morning sermon ut Hansconi Parli
llothodlst church on "Illuminated Dwell
ings; a Communion Mcdltntlou."
Ho took his text from tho fifth chapter
bf Exodus und dwelt upon tho light that
was given tho Israelites when Ood drew
tho curtain of darkness over Kgypt, the
"worshiper of Osiris, tho Bun.
"Herod was puffed up with his powers,"
the pastor said. "Tho adoration of his peo
plo and their flattory had poisoned his
jmnu. 'who is tins gou or Israel, that I
should oboy him?' ho demanded. And when
God, working In Ills own way, visited tho
blackness upon Egypt, ho left brlgl)t tho
piaco auix tlio pathway of tho truly faith
lul.
"Today wo hnvo that samo light on God's
duty. Tho world speaks vainly of conflict
of duties, but there never wiib a Christian
end novor will bo who, walking with Uod,
"Will Dot be ablo to sco tho path nrlght.
"Kor thoso who walk with God there Is
dlso light on Ilfo's opportunities that thoy
may know through which of tho doors open
to them they shall enter.
"Finally, thcro Is light for tho Christian
on life's mystorlcs. Somo tlmo wo henr a
nan say: 'Oh, It I could but rcallzo that
zhero Is a God and a future and a Judg
ment!' Suoh a man Is groping In tho dark
ness, as woro tho Egyptians of old. Tho
Christian, Ilko tho engineer of tho fast
express, focuses his light straight ahead
over tho path ho Is traveling nnd, Instead of
gazing about for tho dim forms at Ills
Bide, booh tho ultlmato goal far on ahead."

At Kountzo Memorial church Sunday
morning tho pastor, Rev. Edward F. Trofz,
preached the fifth In his sorlcs of sermons
entitled "Little Guldo Posts on the Foot
path to Peaco." His text was from Isaiah
jclil, 3: "A bruised reed shall Ho not break
and the smoking flax shall Ho not quench."
"An everyday gontlenews of tho human
heart and a klndnoss ono toward another -this
Is what tho world needs moro than
learning or art, moro than martB nnd com

lubricant to enso tho way as wo Journey
along life's pathway.
"I bollovo this Is tho most cnicl, the most

tnko exceptions to this and will rnll atten
tion to our public Institutions, to tho bo

ment along thoso lines has been especially
marked during tho last few hundred years.
Tho philosophers nnd sages of tha middle

Dr. Newton M. Mann spoke nt Unity
church yesterday morning on "Louis Pas
teur, Truthscekcr; a I.lfo of Service to
Humanity." After a review of tho great
work which Pasteur did for medical science
Dr. Mann comporcd Pasteur's work with
that of other scientific men and declared,
that ho deserved to bo ranked among the
greatest ot mankind's patron salnls.
"Although Pasteur was not a physician,"
snld Dr. Mnnn, "ho did moro for surgery
than any other man who cvor lived. Ho
denied tho theory of spontaneous genera
tion and maintained that dlscaso did not
appear spontaneously In man us was main
tained by all great physicians nnd sur
geons. Ho promulgated tho germ theory
und revolutionized tho hospitals of the
world. Working In a ltttlo laboratory,
which would not bo a credit to our High
school, this man, crippled by paralysis,
made tho discoveries which havo made suc
cessful surgical operations tho rule rather
than Uie exception, as wus tho case before
his time
"Pasteur taught surgeons and nurses how
to combat germs. Hu taught them how to
storlllzo Instruments. Ho went Into hos
pitals and demonstrated bandaging wounds
In such a manner that germs are excluded.
Iloforo his great discoveries, hospitals,
which wero established for tho.caro of tho
Buffering, wero only breeding places for dis
ease.
"For a long tlmo Pasteur had experi
mented with rabies, nnd hnd prevented tha
disease In dogs by Innoculatlng thorn with
virus taken from tho brain of dogs which
were suffering with madness. He had had
ho opportunity to prove tho correctness
of his theory concerning rabies until a
Binall boy terribly bitten by a mad dog
was brought to him. After consulting with
physicians Pastour decided that ho would
treat tho boy as ho had trentcd dogs
which woro threatened with tho disease.
Tho boy was cured, in a short tlmo an
other trial of tho cure was mado and In
a vury nhort tlmo 350 cases wero treated,
with only ono diath.
"After robbing rubles of Its terrors Pas
teur devoted his nttcntlon to diphtheria.
He soon discovered tho germ which "pro
duces tho tcrrlblo dlscaso and before his
death In ISO.", ho had robbed diphtheria of
Its death-dealing properties.
"Pastour's work was not for tho peoplo
of his own time. It will live forever ami
will bring health and happiness to millions
of peoplo who would havo Biifforcd had It
not been for tho Investigation ho carried
on. No man over did noblerj work for
mankind."

In relation to the building ot a penthouse.
The ptnus of tho proposed hospital as drawn
by City Engineer Heal wero unofllclally
approved by tho members of tho board of
commissioners, but ns somo additional data
wero needed Mr. Hoctor called on tho city
officials, in speaking ot tho plans, Mr. Hoc

ance would not bo rando until tho meeting
today.
Thcro Is Btlll somo question about a site.
Members ot tho board havo Bcvoral loca
tions In ylow, but nono has been decided
on. It Is expected that before tho plans
nro formally npproved nnd tho money for
tho erection of tho pesthouso appropriated
tho site must be designated.
Property In tho northwestern portion of
tho city can be secured, but tho location
Is bo far away from transportation lines
that It 1b not being seriously considered.
Again thero In a trnct of lrfnd on tho bluffs
overlooking the river -which Is completely
Isolated and stilt ncccsslblo that is thought
favorably of. Tho location will bo definitely
settled today.
Members of the Hoard of Health eay that
by the location of tho proposed hospital
qulto n saving enn bo mado In tho uso ot
supplies and disinfectants. Over eighty
cases ot smallpox now exist In South
Omaha nnd tho cost of quarantine and dis
infectants runs up to a large amount every
month. With a pesthouso the groceries,
coal, etc., would be cut off nnd thero would
bo n saving In tho uso of formaldehyde.
It was reported yestorday that somo phy
slclans are negligent in thn matter of ac
quainting tho Dourd of Health with the
fact that certain patients nro nllllctcd with

ull cases reported as soon ns possible after
this.
Today tho public schools will open after

Tho mnyor hopes in this way to evade
the necessity of making posslblo enemies
Bhould he make tho appointments. There
s going to bo eorno difficulty about tho ap

Union Workmen In flnllilliijr Triulen
Are Apparently Sntlftllcd
with WnRCft,
From present Indications tho building
season of 1902 will open without n demand
on tho part of any of tho unions of me
chanics and laborers for an Incrcnso In
wages, and so far as known there Is no
ffort on tho pnrt of employers to demand
u reduction.
Thero was n conference between tho griev
ance comlttee of tho building nnd trades
council nnd n like commlttco of tho Uulld-
ers' club last week over n llttlo trouble
which had taken plnco on the building now
In cotirso of construction. Tho ninttor was
settled to tho satisfaction of both parlies
nud after the completion of the specific
work of tho meeting a gencrul conference
wns hold In which both employers and
employes gave expression to n desire to
et the present arrangements stand for
nother Jrcar nt lenst,
This condition Is looked upon with plens-
uro by both Bides nt this tlino ns contracts
between cnployerB nnd somo of tho larger
unions expire this season. -The contract
with the painters will be renewed on tho
present basis, as will also tho contract with
tho carpenters.
With tho work In prospect for the next
season, which Is either In tho hands of tho
architects or has passed them nnd has
been npproved by tho owners of tho prop
erty, n break in tho plcnsnnt relntlons
would bo disastrous. Many contractors, havo
