' The graduating exercise of Brownell
hall began Sunday morning; with the early
celebration of holy communion by Bishop
Worthlngton in St. Matthias church. Later
the graduating cU in white gowns and
mortar boards and members of the under
graduate classes, also In white, panaded
to Trinity cathedral, where they occupied
the front pewa and listened, to the bacca
laureate sermon by the bishop.
The speaker chose for his text Psalms,
cxxxiv:12, "That Our Daughters May Be
as Corner Stones, Polished After the Sim
llltude of a Palace." He explained the
significance of this In the Interior decora
tions of the Damnscan houses, where the
beauty was reserved for the members of
the house to see. "Thus should be Its
daughters In perfection, modesty, chastity,
trnletness, peacefulness and propriety.
"To-guldo-the girls In these things
Ilrownell hall was established." said the
bishop. "It was meant for a school where
the Catholic faith should be taught, recog
nized and enforced. . The necessity of edu
cation based, on Christian teaching is be
in felt more and more In these days. We
are coming face to face with a Godless
age, and are coming to realise the bad
ness of an Intellectual training which puts
aside all that purifies the soul. In youth
comes a marvelous development of sensi
bility which Is uncontrollable. Experience
and reason have not gained the power of
control. Think of the danger In this time
of bewildering excitement. Who will not
recognize that the young need a sobering
Influence of Christian teaching; the power
of a holy Ideal and faith T The troubles
of childhood often turn to days'of bitter
ness. Christian nourishment and training
should then come with guiding hand. Who
so much In need of a counsellor and com
panion as the young in the days of physi
cal, mental and moral training?
Christian Home Piece to Start.
"Doubtless the Christian home Is the
place to plan for the Christian life of the
emotional child. The responsibility of the
parent cannot be escaped. I plead not
for the Christian school, not to relieve the
parent of its duty. Nothing can be sub
stituted for that which Is ordained. But
In this thing we find one of the strongest
arguments for the church school It con
tinues the Christian homo, keeps up the
same environment A school may be per
fectly equipped with apparatus and teach
ers, but unless Us teaching la underlaid
by Christianity, the truth of the Incarna
tion is not .grasped and the student Is not
prepared for the world. Woman rules
socloty. If she ' Is frivolous, society Is
frivolous; If she Is high-minded, society Is
high-minded. She has power to wield. In
order to exercise it she need not preach
or exhort, only , to be what she la. Un
consciously she makes society. I wonder
women do not better understand their
power and use It to better ends. So long
as woman Is a devotee of fashion and not
handmaid of the Lord, so long will men
hold fashion above religion and lore money
more than their God."
After the sermon the students of
Itrownell hall marched out after the choir

on Blnney street yesterday morning. In

Smith. Dr. Morgan stopped In Omaha on
his way noma from the Methodist confer

to visit several of his old friends and col

city. His discourse was based on the scrip

"Though He slay mt, yet will I trust
Him." .
"The Book ot Job," he said. "Is the
grandest literary production of the,. Bible.
Job has been called the Shakespeare of
the Bible because his writings are loftier
In their flights than those of any of the
other writers of the Old Testament or New,
except those of the last Isaiah. His writ
ings have been - called an epic of the
human life because they best portray the
human soul In great affliction. The prob

Rev. S. D. Iroteaer Emphasises that

At the First Christian church yesterday
8. D. Dutcher preached on "Enterprise In
Christianity," saying In part:
"The man who soys Christianity will do
for the weak and effeminate shows his
Ignorance of the spirit and character of
Christianity. Ho Is deserving of open
censure. Christianity makes Its appeal to
the heroic In man. It is enterprising and
aggressive. Place and success are not
given for the asking. If you would succeed
you must pay the price of success.
"We all esteem the enterprising man.
We may sympathize with and even write
beautltudes for the unsuccessful man, but
the successful man always has our ad
miration. We love to do business ' with
him. He Is so alive.
"Mourners are sometimes to be seen upon
our streets. They are from every depart
ment of life. They have not succeeded
They are hurt at the world.
"This Is no new gospel. Jesus said to
the first disciple, 'Go. Go everywhere, go
Into all the world., go out Into highways.
Constrain them.' It is not the easy pews
that save men.. It Is the old gospel,
preached In faith, preached in love, preached
with power. The most sublime spectacle
In all history Is yonder on that mountain.
Jesus launching the great enterprise of the
world's evangelization. A few fishermen
around Him, a lost world before Him.
Facing every hindrance, He commanded
them to go and make disciples of the na
tions. '
"When Jesus wanted men for this work
He did not go to the Banned rim. He saw
some men In a boat one day and called
them to follow Him. I will make you
fishers of men.' The man that would mend
his own net was the kind He wanted.
"It Is not so much what a man pretends
to do as how he does It. Better a good
fisherman than a poor doctor of, the laws.
This Is Christ's Idea of men."
WEAKNESS OP MAN WHEN ALONE
Rev. John M. Rosa Points Oat Neces
sity of God's Help.
Rev. John M. Ross at Central United
Presbyterian church chose for his text at
the evening service, Numbers x 11133, "And
there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak,
which come of the giants; and we were In
our own sight as grasshoppers and so we
were ltt their sight."
Without confidence In God and self, men
are as grasshoppers," sold Rev. Mr. Ross.
"If a man feels he Is nothing he becomes
nothing. You can draw almost any con
clusion If you take but one class of facts,
but to reason right we must take into
consideration all of the facta. In the text
It is evident but one set of facts were
used In drawing an ultimate deduction.
There were giants and walled cities, these
were considered. But on the other hand
there was a trained army and God Al
mighty back of it. There was a land worth
possessing which had been promised to the
children of Israel.
"If It Is God's will that we are to take
up some enterprise, If God has called you to
It then go forward and none can turn you
back. Columbus thought If he sailed far
enough toward the west he could find the
way around the world and In spite of 10,000
obstacle he found America. It Is easy to
condemn old dead Israelites and old dead
unbelievers, but let us take the lesson unto
oursalve. Leave God out of the reckonlna
aim men are as grasshoppers.

Are Speakers.
Several hundred Woodmen of the World
gathered at Hanscom park yesterday after
noon to pay tribute to their dead brother
of the order In Douglas county. The mem
bers of the order who took part In the lm
presslve services assembled at the head'
quarters fof the association. Fifteenth and
Howard streets, about 2 p. m. and marched
from there to the northeast corner of the
park where they were Joined by a long file
of the ladles of Woodmen Circle, who
marched with them to the bandstand .In
the park, where the services took place.
The procession was headed by Dimlck s
military baud which played the funeral
march. J. L. Kalcy acted as master of
ceremonies; J. O. Kuhn, consul commander
Philip Miller, watchman; F. H. Gulgard,
sentry; K. B. terlln. adfser lieutenant;
Earl R. Stiles, banker; John N. Crawford,
clerk; James Swoboda, escort, were oil In
line.
The ceremonies at the park were opened
by the band playing "Nearer, My God, to
Thee." The announcement by John L.
Kaley as master of ceremonies followed.
Mr. Kaley said:
"Every county In the United States and
Canada la holding similar services to those
which are. being held here today. There
are 10,000 monuments erected at the heads
of graves of deceased sovereigns and com
rades of the order. It Is usual to read the
Hat of the dead on such occasions as this,
but we will not take your time today, as
the list Is a very long one. One hundred
and forty-five sovereigns who belonged to
the order In Douglas county alone have
fallen before the reaper of death and have
changed time for eternity."
The quartette of the order followed with
a selection, and then the unveiling cere
mony took' place. The master of cere
monies drew back the flag which hid the
monument from view, while the hundreds
of members present bowed their heads In
honor of the departed.

The quartet then sang: "I Will Life Up
Mine Eyes." Miss Cora M. Hitchcock re
cited "Oh, Why Should the Spirit of Mortal
Be Proud?" After the unveiling services
the attention of the audience was turned
to the bandstand from which Mrs. Emma
B. Manchester, supreme guardian of Wood
man Circle, who was Introduced as one of
the founders of the first fraternal order
for women, delivered an oration. Mrs. Man
chester outlined the history of the women's
auxiliary, related the circumstances sur
rounding the founding of the organization
and spoke of the duties of the women's
association. She also paid an affecting
tribute to the departed sisters. Her address
was well received.
The principal speaker of the occasion.
W. F. Gurley, was then Introduced. He
addressed the audience upon the worthy
work which has been accomplished by the
Woodmen, and spoke In an optimistic man
ner of the future plans of the organization.
It " Is but a few days since we were
called upon to perform the annual cere
mony of strewing flowers upon the graves
of the soldier dead of our land," said Mr.
Gurley. "Today we are here to strew flow
ers upon the grave of another class of
men, who are as. much soldiers as the
others, for every true Woodman is a sol
dier. It Is a splendid thing for a man to
dte upon the field of battle for his coun
try and his country's flag, but we have
assembled today to honor the memory of
brave men who, while living, performed the
noblest duties of American citizenship,
that of providing for their families after
their death. No man can be a member of
the Woodmen of the World and long re
main a peaslmUt. It Is essentially a re
ligions organization without a cold and

"Pods," a little black kitten, with a white
tip on Its nose, and a tendency to climb
up the curtains, faces a cold, dreary world,
having been ejected from Its; former home
at 618 South Sixteenth street, the residence
of Mrs. H. M. Whltmer.
The trouble with Pods was that he waa
too playful. His presence was countenanced
so long as he amused himself with break
ing the statuettes and bric-a-brao of the
house, but Sunday morning he tried to get
some fun out of a box of matches and
succeeded In giving the Are department a
run. The matches were on the bedroom
dresser a forbidden spot for Pods and no
one was in the house. A neighbor saw the
smoke and when the door was opened by
the firemen a little black and white object
shot between their legs. The damage
amounted to about $30. Pods was behind
a box In the hall, not daring to come out

Ill THE IMSURABCE FIELD,
Case Instituted In the courts of South
Dakota for the purpose of testing the In
surance law 'passed by the last legislature
of that state, are being watched by In
surance men In other states with much
interest Especially Is this the case In
those states which have similar laws now
In force. The principal point of attack
of the law Is on the 'Valued policy" fea
ture. The complaint declares that this
provision of the law Is unconstitutional,
n that It grants to the Insurance commis
sioner of the state legislative and judicial
powers by authorizing him to provide a
form of policy for use In the state to com
ply with the provisions of the new law,
and that this form should have been fixed
by the legislature as a part of the law.
The valued policy law Is also declared to
be In violation of contract. The move la
said to be a part of a general plan of the
Insurance companies to defeat the entire
law passed at the last session.
The popularity of life Insurance as an In
vestment and for protection at the present
time Is shown by the dispatch which was
sent out from New York during the week
to the effect thst life policies are now
being written at the rate of $8,000,000 per day
A large numVer of people who have limited
Incomes, and who have acquired the saving
habit, are looking for Investments. The
uncertainty of Industrial enterprises and
the doubtful ability of such concerns to
pay dividends or even return the principal
Invested Is leading to Investment In old
line life Insurance companies, which are
more than r'Msonably sure to return' the
principal, and In many Instances return
by payment of death claims to the. heirs
of the Investor much more. At any rata
an Investor In a life policy with a ten or
twenty year payment attachment is almost
certain of securing ready funds at a time
in his or her life when they are most
needed. The ability of the old line com
panics to continue In business for long
periods of time and to still show an ex
tremely healthy condition with little pros
poet of failure In the future has decided
many a man to choose them as the pre'
server of his savings. During the last year
all the companies combined have returned
to policy holders $258,850,000. The aggregate
payments to beneficiaries Including annu
ities, etc., for the year amounted to $346,
463,700. It Is estimated that there Is in
force in the city of New York at the present
time policies aggregating $2,250,000,000.

In mutual companies haa been forcibly
called to the attention of a number of peo
ple in Nebraska during the past month.
Many former policyholders In a defunct
Omah mutual , have received notices that
there Is due an assessment from them for
losses incurred by the company during the
time that their policies were In force, al
though the policies in many Instances have
expired years ago. One case in particular
has been called to the attention of a local
Insurance man; of a woman who held a
policy in the company which was In force
from 1897 to 1900. The premium on the
policy paid at the time tt was taken out
amounted to - about $8. The holder ha
Just received notice from the receiver of
the company that she is expected to pay
more than the amount of the original pre
mium now to help make up the deficiency
in the affairs of the concern. At the time
the polloy waa taken out the rate charged
was higher than the regular rate of any
old line company, and now more than the
original premium ha to be again paid.
In addition to this an assessment was
levied upon the policy while It was still
In force, amounting to $1.85, which has not
been paid, but which the former policy
holder must adjust. Few people seem to
realize when they take a policy In a mu
tual company that 'they are entering a
partnership concern and must stand their
share of losses and expenses Incurred dur
ing the life of their policy, no matter how
high auch losses may run.

Is raaware.
After wheeling her -months-old son
from her home at 1321 South Third street
to the Omaha Electrlo IJght and Power
company's plant at Fourth and Jones
streets, where her husband is employed as
a fireman, within a stone' throw of her
husband, who was Ignorant even of his
wife' presence, Mrs. Christ Chrlstenson
drank four ounces of carbolic acid and died
In the police ambulance on the way to St.
Joseph's hospital shortly after 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. Mental derangement,
noticed since the birth of her child, I
assigned as the cause of the wife's self-
destruction.
The woman was 22 year of age and had
been married about a year and a half.
She had been receiving medical attendance
for several months and a few weeks ago
returned from a month's visit with her
parents at Valley Springs, S. D., going
there with the hope that the change would
do her good and on the advice of her phy
slclan. She returned apparently much re
lieved, but the old symptoms soon returned.
Last Saturday morning her husband found
her with a bottle of carbolic acid, which
he took away and destroyed.
Mrs. Chrlstensen at times labored under
the hallucination that her neighbors wanted
to poison her and her husband to set her
on fire. To disabuse her m'nd of the first
notion the husband changed their residence
two months ago, and with the hope of
driving away all of her delusions, sent her
to her parents on a visit.
Saw the Womaa Drink It.
TT. Baker, an employe of the Talbot Ice
company stables, two doors west of the
electrlo light plant, saw Mr. Chrlstensen
drink the fatal acid. Mr. Baker aald:
"I saw the woman coming east on Jones
street and pushing the baby carriage. I
was seated in the doorway of the stables.
She stopped about half a block away to
attend to the child who was crying loudly.
She appeared to be vexed, particularly a
she neared the stables, when her Infant'
parasol became unmanageable In the wind.
She then proceeded to the front of the
cooper shop, near the electrlo light place
and loofced toward the plant, for her hus
band, aa I then thought. The next thing
I noticed she was drinking out of a small
bottle. I at first thought It might be
whisky or something else. She then kneeled
down and took a second drink and threw
herself on a beam, holding her head In her
hands. I rushed to our foreman and we
hurried over to the woman. She did not
utter a word."
At the time Mr. Chrlstensen was at work
In the electric light plant, not a stone'
throw away. . He was unaware of his wife'
whereabouts until one of his fellowworkmen
recognizing from the window the new baby
firrtage bought by Chrlstensen the night
before, told him he thought his wife was
outside. Chrlstensen went outside and was
overcome at the sight of his wife neartng
death under the action of the terrible acid.
Chrlstensen Is 25 years of age and Is said
to have bjen devoted to his stricken wife.
Coroner Bralley has the remains In charge
at the morgue. An Inquest probably will
be held Tuesday morning.

O, heroes 'neath the ocean wave,
While life Is strong and true.
With flags and flowers and hearts that

shared your dangers and endured your sac

that roll over you."
