M0NE8TY ALONE OF LASTING BENEFIT Deelare ItrkH r ao-es Aeanlre ar aeleanle Mfm Are Short Deration and Detri mental ta Prom-ess. Dishonest condition in business life. the speculative mania and the effort at get ting rich quickly, received a severe scor ing at th hands of Rev. George A. Beecher at Trinity cathedral yesterday preaching from th text. "Thou decreet truth In the Inward parts." Truth la tha basl of ail noble and ln crrfc character and there can be no strength of character where there la no truth," said the speaker. "It Is useless to try to build character on outward show; there must be underlying solidity. Men ' who try to pass as men on outward ap pearance hava never been known to suc ceed very long. It U tha man of stability, push, perseverance and character that suc ceeds. Ttu know aa well as I do In these .ny f competition and stresa In business that dishonesty and Intrigue have grown up to be a sort of business In themselves. Wealth acquired by gambling and by dis honest means soon goes away. It Is not a profitable business because It Is not honest. Men who make money that way. are unstable and Insincere and It bodes no good for the state or church that busi ness has com to be characterised by such dishonorable methods. In doing these thjng you are breaking away from the good old business principle of the fore facers of thl country. Christ walled over Jerusalem, but he la also weeping over th state of thie country. Who can read the dally pres and not hear th echo of the woe of the Son of Man over the life of this nation sweeping to death through false Ideas of business? "You say the churche are for women; the penitentiaries are full of men, many of them young men, 30 and 36 and even 26. It I not pleasant to see or contemplat. Men have caught the spirit of speculation and aoon having lost all sense of honor become accustomed to stealing. I am not a pessimist." Tha pastor closed with an earnest plea for cleaner, more honest and conscientious business lives. ' NATIONAL PROBLEM I THE SOUTH Itrra Question Dtaeassea by Rev. Dr. Fraak P. Woodbnry. "Nine-tenths of the unskilled labor of th south. In th hands of the negro, has made a rapid and vast Increase of south ern production and material prosperity," aid Rev. Dr. Frank P. Woodbury yes terday morning at the First Congrega tional church. He took for his subject, "The National Problem In the South." "The progress of the race," he said, "Is wonderful. The florid propheslea about a vast, idle, thriftless population ' have come to naught. Desplt hi histori and en during wrongs, th nsgro In th face of Illegal and violent oppression of his civil rights, ha labored on peacefully and per sistently and ha laid broad and deep the basis of a new southern prosperity. "The higher classes of th colored peo ple ar asserting themselves with the new manhood of freedom. By tens of thou sand th colored people have felt the dis abilities of their Ignorance and embraced with the utmost eagerness every oppor tunity of eduoatlng their children.' "The black south ha before It the task of lifting Itself from vlc and crime Into virtue, from Ignorance Into Intelligence, from poverty Into 'competence, of creating a new social order of It own people, and all this In th face of a superior people vastly outnumbering it and preponderantly either Indifferent to Us upward progress or sharply antagonistic to it. This Is the Juncture ' in which - th Intelligent north Join hand with tha intelligent south, whit and black.f for the uplifting of th poor, for the creation of Christian home and school by . th diffusion of love and truth.' "There to a whit and a black south. The whit south la composed of three ele ments. Th first one Is a progressive ele ment, alive to the modern principle of equal right and opportunities. It stands for liberty, upholds law and welcomes popular education. ' Thl element depre cate th lawlessness which I barbarizing so many southern communities. Par below this element stand the opposing force of th whit - south which represents the spirit of the old slavery day. It re sist every step which 'would lift the col ored race out of a condition of serfdom. Intermediate between these two element Is a third which sympathises with both the other elements. While It accept th personal freedom of the black southerner, It ' refuses him ' hi cltUenshlp. It is ashamed of the savage lynching, but ha an underlying feeling that their violence is useful now and then in keeping the negro down." JESUS? DELAY AKD ITS INFLUENCE bjec of Rev. J. M. Ross' Evening Sermon. "Th Delay of Jesus and It Influence," was th subject on which Rev. . Dr. J. M. R,oa pf th Central United Presbyterian church spoka last night. "Jesus had retired beyond Jordan where John was baptising when a message from his loved friends, Mary and Martha, reached him that Lasarus wa very 111, but h remained, where h wa a few day and while there Lasarus died," said Dr. Rose. "Then he spoke of going to Beth any, but his disciples dissuaded him from going back again where they hated him; but it waa.of no avail. Courageously he returned to Bethany and Martha sought him, tearfully, and said, 'Lord, If Thou nadaf been here, my brother had not died.' He, seld to er, 'I am th Resurrec tion and th Life; though a man be dead, yet shill he live.' and she returned home comforted in a1 sense. Then came Mary and aald the aam to Him, and He asked, Where have you laid him?' and wept; and though he caused the precious brother and friend to live again, yet it all wa In Ills own good time. "The disciple were a yet but babe In ' Christ, and Jsu kenw that by per forming HI miracle their faith would be confirmed, and that of th sister. Mary and Martha, a well, and to th neigh bora who knew th lk man, his sloknesa and death, and It all wa for their benefit also, and all wa for God's glory. "Christian often seek God in prayer; prefer requests that seem in consonance with HI will, but they ar not answered. or. If at all. It may be year after, but It I In aooordane with HI will, and ao all during the age, since thl great miracle, th delay ef Ju baa worked for th beat Interest of th petitioner and th real glory of Ood. Jesus I absent in body, yet present tn svlrlt under all circum stances, and though our faith be tried eorely and again, yet ever In Hi good tins w receive our answer In the very beat way: He said, 'It Is expedient that I go away, yet I ahall com again.' It ia 1V00 year, yet he ha not come In per on, but Hi Influence ia potent and true. cere j prayer I always effectual and tha power of Ood la and will be exerted In building up the people In His most holy ralth. No suddn revolution occurs, but a grand growing of plans for the con version of the world and the spread of the power and glory of God." SEW PASTOR AT CALVARY BAPTIST Rev. E. R. Carry Sneeeed Rev. Thomn Andersen. Rev. K. R. Curry yesterday assumed charge of Calvary Baptist church. Mr. Curry come here directly from Flint, Mich., and Is now slaying at the Jiome of I. W. Carpenter. He was at one time pastor of th Baptist church In Fremont. Large congregations greets the man who succeeds Rev. Thomas Anderson In Calvary church and a reception for him has been arranged to take place In the church Thursday evening. Mr. Curry spoke last night, drawing his text from the creation of man by Ood. "God created man In His own Image." he said. "God breathed In his nostril and he became a living soul. The real exist ence of God Is a fact to us. What Is man Is as pertinent a question. If we philoso phize we shall And ourselves out of our depth or Involved In a cloud of mist. The scientist says: Take man and dissect him Into his necessary part a little chloride, a little magnesium, etc. But we say there I something aside from these things. We say, can chloride feel; enn magnesium think? Bo there Is something else. "I am conscious I am conscious I feel, I think; I am conscious a great gulf sep arates me from other things. I am free from the laws of the world. My body may freese, but my real existence, my true being. Is free from these laws. Fur ther, while my bodily comfort demands food,' clothes and nlr, these are not neces sary to the real existence of man the real things of life are not the visible, but the moral. The laws governing the higher life lead to hope, faith and righteousness. So we find there Is a living soul. If man ha a living soul, how long Is life? Does It extend to eternity? Love I the great principle of life. Love Is the prophesy It of nothing else, of eternal spiritual life. I have stated these things to show the pertinency of the question of the Master. Thou art a son of the living God. God made us living soul to exist forever. Shall we then not let In to 6s the life giving Christ?" GENERAL BLACKMAR AT CHURCH G. A. R. Commander and Party Attend Divine Services. National Commander-in-Chief W. W. Blackmar and party attended service at Unity church yesterday morning. The presence of the distinguished visitors at tracted a large congregation, of veteran soldiers and their wives Tj the church. Rev. Newton Mann preached on the sub ject, "Creation the V lability of Natural Laws and Man's Part In the Evolutionary Processes of Creation-'.' "Thl world is not wholly perfect," he aid. "We were made to walk mentally and bodily with out feet on the earth. There are soma theorists who walk with their feet in the air. Others hold this was originally a perfect world, but that an evil spirit struck It a deadly blow. They will not concede that the good God made a bad world. Disorder In the world, they maintain, Is not real, but merely apparent. "For my part I will trust my moral judg ment against any theory of universe. An unverified theory may be of value In the place of truth. But the bulk of our knowl edge Is built upon the occurrence of actual facts. A theory worked up any other way Is not worth considering. ' "Love alone can bring in the perfect world. It alone can cover th multitude of fault and Imperfection. . Tried by a theoretic standard, few things ar beauti ful. Love is not blind. It alone looks deep Into Its object -and brings out what Is good and beautifies all thing by. It transforming powers." It was expected that General Blackmar would deliver a short address, but owing to the lateness of the hour he had to ask to be excused In order to prepare for the departure of himself and party for the west.

LOOKS AFTER REAL ESTATE IN THIS CITY Well Pleaad with City' Progress Dlsrnsses International Affairs, Voicing Britain's Sympathy witb Japan. Sir Horace J. Plunkett a former men ber of the English Parliament and at present head of the department of Agricul ture and technical Instruction In Ireland, is In Omaha and expects to mend his holi days In this city. Sir Horace first came to this country during the boom times of 1SS8 and Invested largely in Omaha real estate. For years, beginning with that date, he reversed the order of things and spent his holidays In the old country. Ha finds It difficult, however, to draw away from old associations and scene and no makea his permanent home In England, leaving H. J. Windsor to look after hi landed Interests In this country. To many of the old residents of Omaha, Sir Horace is a familiar figure. To later comers he is not o well known. He Is a man of medium stature with light hair and full beard. He dresee plainly and contrary to the Impression formed by many people of titled foreigners, thre Is nothing In tils general appearance to dis tinguish him from a prosperous American cltisen. In conversation he Is modest and unassuming and he haa the happy faculty of making a person feel at ease In his presence. Sir Horace Intimated that one reason for the trip to Omaha Is to look after his realty Interests here. While he Is making no additional Investments he sees to It that such property a he ha is paying a reasonable percentage upott the Invest ment. Pleased with His Property. "I am well satisfied with my Invest ments here," he said yesterday. "1 think business In Omaha Is recovering from the effects of the stuffed census which gave It such a black eye several years ago and I am looking forward to a season of even greater prosperity for Omaha than It has yet enjoyed. I am pleased with what my property has done and have the utmost confidence that it will do still better. 'Are you interested In any western Investments outside of Omaha?" Yes. I am interested in .tn Irrigation project In Wyoming, of which I have great hope." 'How soon do you look for an expres sion of opinion at the ballot box of Cham berlain's fiscal policy?" "That is a difficult question to answer. There is no constitutional time fixed for the election, of course. There is no inten tion of the present parliament making an issue of the question. The life of a par liament is usually about four years, al though It may continue for seven years. Nothing will be done until Parliament de cides to appeal to the people for a Justi fication of its attitude or until It desires from the people an expression of opinion on questions pending before the country." "What seems to be the sentiment of the English people on the question of a pro tective policy?" 'I think the attitude of the people and of the government Is In favor of retaining the present policy. ' There Is a sentiment against departing from fixed principles or principles formerly considered as fixed." Silent on King's Nnvnl Scheme. 'Is there any agitation regarding the re cent radical reorganization plan of the navy put In force through the influence of King Edward?" That question touches a phase of gov ernment policy on- which I would not, for obvious reasons, care to be quoted." "What Is the sentiment in England re garding the war?" 'I will answer that by saying that while England maintains a neutral attitude, popu lar sentiment Is with the Japanese." "How do the people feel toward the trawler Incident?" "They were at first very bitter and ex citement ran very high. The attitude of the people wa for Immediate retaliation, but wiser counsel prevailed and the in cident now is practically closed. I think the government will be satisfied with an apology and the payment of damage for the injuries done and will demand no fur ther reparation. I believe the findings of the court of inquiry will show that on the night of the shooting the officer of the Baltic fleet had dined too well and they may possibly have been In a condition of distorted vision that changed the general appearance of everything that floated on the water. I am not saying that they were Intoxicated, because I am not supposed to know, but Englishmen now entertain their own opinion on the subject." "Haa the war had any effect on the com mercial Interests of England?" "Tee, it haa had a noticeable effect upos her shipping Interests," ONLY FEW TIMID FLAKES FALL Slight Flurry Threaten to Give Omnha Ftrat Real Snow, bn Palla. For awhile yesterday It seemed Omaha certainly would get it first real snow of the winter, but the pro peat wa dissi pated In the merest flurry. The clouds looked Just right, the atmosphere seemed propitious and the people were hoping, but even that did not bring the snow. Th timid flakes which came rather thick for a little time remained on the ground scarcely a long a It took them to fall. Nor did th state at large do any better, according to the wsather bureau's state ment. Worse still, prospects as Interpreted last night, gave no promise today for pre cipitation. "We do not look for a clear day," said one of the officials at the bureau, "but the condition do not Indicate snow." East of Omaha from on to two and three inchea of snow were reported yesterday and a far, north as Duluth, according to th statement of a traveling man who had Just returned from there, a couple of day ago, twenty-one Inches fell. The thermometer yesterday got aa low a 20 degrees above sero. That wa at p. m. During the day it ranged from 22 to 81.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Oommittte Calls on Krog for Opening of Twestj-Fifth Stmt. NEW NORTHERN OUTLET IS THE OBJECT Mr. Kmc Dee Net Readily Consent to This Reoaest Wltbont Proviso Regarding Twent y-Seventb Street. A committee of cltlsens composed of Colonel James O. Martin, C. W. Miller, Councilman John Kiewlt and Albert Hun ter called yesterday on William Krug to see about the opening of Twenty-fifth street, from A street to the boulevard. There Is a small piece of ground which It was thought could be secured for a reason able sum from Mr. Krug In order to open this roadway. Mr. Krug wa not In a mood to entertain any donation propositions, but he stated to the committee that If arrangements could be made to open Twenty-ueventh street, from A street north, he might talk. The piece of ground on Twenty-fifth street ! Is small and It was thought by the com mittee Mr. Krug would give this property In order to have the street opened. When the Twenty-seventh street proposition was suggested the committee wa at a stand still, as nothing was to be said. The prop erty on Twenty-seventh street which Mr. Krug wishes opened never has been dedi cated for street purpoees and will have to be tought. The land ia in the city of Omaha and while the people of South Omaha desire the opening of the street they do not feel like buying land in Omaha for street purposes. In this connection of opening northern outlets it Is understood a great number of men engaged In business at the packing houses Is dissatisfied with the failure of the city to keep Thirtieth street In good con dition for driving. The city spends quite a sum each year In rounding up this road way and, according to the mayor and street commissioner, the road Is kept In good condition the year round. Another effort Is to be made by some city officials to seo If Mr. Krug will not consent to the open ing of Twenty-fifth street without putting in any proviso about Twenty-seventh street. Will Finish Paving Today. Dan Hannon, who haa the contract for paving South Twenty-fourth street and Railroad avenue to the county line, said last night his work would be completed to day. The street car company has about completed the laying of heavy rails and the concrete has been put In, with the exception of a few feet. Mr. Hannon ex pects that by tonight he will complete the work. As soon aa the paving between the track la laid it Is expected the street car company will run its Walnut Hill and Benson cars clear to the county line. The switches and power lines necessary are in position and within a day or two the cars will most likely be runt through. By the opening of the road to the county line the "dinky" cars that have been running on the Albright line will be dispensed with and the standard cars used. Motormen on the Albright line will be assigned place on regular runs. The car barn at Twenty-fourth and Vin ton streets are nearly completed. Tracks are all laid in and the interior Is com pleted with the exception of a portion of the heating plant. It is expected this car barn will be open and ready for use before the holiday. When this barn Is opened the Walnut Hill and other cars that have laid on the tracks nights at Twenty-fourth and O streets, will be sent to the barn at Vin ton street. Conductor and motormen who expect to take early; morning run out of South Omaha already are arranging for cottage or boarding places In order to be in readi ness when the bell rings for the early morning start. Anderson Reception Tonight. Mr. and Mr. David Anderson will cele brate their golden wedding tonight. A re ception will be held at Workman Temple, Twenty-fifth and M treets. The program of the evening's ceremonies has been pub lished. It Is expected that a large number of people will attend the reception an Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are well known In South Omaha. Woodmen Officers Elected. Camp No. 4086, Modern Woodmen cf Amer ica, met last week and elected the follow ing officer: Thomas F. Corrlgan, consul; S. P. Southwlck, advisor; Charles Swanson, banker; J. J. Breen. clerk; Nela Nelson, es cort; W. T. Elmore, watchman. Thomaa F. Conloy was chosen aa manager for three year. James A. Kelly and W. J. McCrann are the physicians of the lodge. Want Cheap Horses. The fire department Is In need of a good team and an extra horse. All summer members of the Fire and Police board have been looking over horses, but it only de- I veloped Saturday that the commissioner are not willing to pay the price. A horse dealer at the yard states that the com mlantoner "want to buy a $200 horse for 175." The result 1 that unless horses are soon provided for the firemen the de partment will be practical y useless. A councilman aald last night there wa mowy enough In the fire, fund to buy two good horses, and the wonder is that the board let teams that are In no condition to work make runs to fire. A. A. Wright, Nineteenth and M streets, suffered a loes of 1150 yesterday afternoon by Are. The cause was carelessness with matches. The Are department responded as promptly aa It could with the horse on hand to pull the hose, wagon. Chief Gar rett said last night that the los on the building would be 8128 and on the content not over 325. While the loss was fully cov ered by Insurance th incident caused quite an excitement in the nelghborohod. Magle City Gossip. Revival services at the Methodist church will continue fur some time.
