Impressive Services at Presby
terian Church.
The services incident to the form
al Installation of Rev; L. W. Cade
Into the pastorate of the First Pres
byterian church of this city took
place last evening In the presence of
quite a good sized congregation. The
services were carried out In strict
accordance with the program as
heretofore outlined in the Journal,
and were most- interesting. ' The
opening services ' were of prayer,
which was given by Rev. Perry of
Nebraska City, after which the choir
and congregation Joined in a hymn.
Following this Rev. Salsbury of Aub
burn read the scripture lesson which
consisted of the first sixteen verses
of Paul's espistle to the Romens. An
other hymn by the choir followed the
reading of the lesson.
Rev. A. E. Perry of Nebraska City
then delivered the sermon of the
evening, a most pleasing and able ad
dress and one which was listened to
by the congregation with the deepest
respect and attention. Rev. Perry's
sermon was upon Safhts and he dwelt
upon the meaning of the word and Its
attributes. In the course of his ad
dress he elucidated how all might be
come saints in the sight of God and
dilated upon the true and lofty life
which one must lead to obtain this
blessed boon. Rev. Perry's address
Is pronounced by those in attendance
to be a remarkably able one and one
which well repaid the attention given
It.
Rev. Perry's sermon was followed
by naother song by the choir in
which the congregation took part. A
prayer by Rev. Salsbury was then
given in which divine aid for the
welfare and good of the church
and its members was implored. Fol
lowing the prayer by Rev. Salsbury
came the formal ceremony of Instal
lation which was according to the
ritual of the church and which was
both solemn and impressive.
Rev. Thomas Sexton of Lincoln
then formally delivered the charge to
the pastor. Dr. Sexton In bo doing
congratulating Rev. Gade upon his
uniting with the Nebraska Presbytery
and also upon his location in the
state of Nebraska. He particularly
congratulated him upon his accepting
the call to the Plattsmouth Presby
terian church and expressed his sin
cere belief that he would find the
field a fertile one and that his work
would bear good fruit. Dr. Sexton
seemed to be greatly pleased that
this congregation should lhave 60
worthy a successor In Rev. Gade to
Rev. Salsbury, the former pastor and
his charge was a most happy one.
The choir then gave an anthem
which closed the musical portion of
the proceedings.
Rev. Salsbury then delivered the
charge to the congregation and in so
doing took occasion to rather severe
ly criticise the congregation for Its
lack of attendance upon the services.
Taking as a theme for his discourse
the city slogan of "See Plattsmouth
Succeed" he . Bpoke at length upon
the duty of the members of the con
gregation to attend upon the serv
ices Just as much as upon the social
features attendant upon the church
and in reference to this point in his
discourse, he spoke of the fact that
the attendance at the services last
evening was but about one-half that
of the reception of the night before.
He also spoke of the habit some of
the members had of attending the
services of other sect3 merely for
some social attraction such as the
music to the neglect of their own
church and he advised the members
to act unitedly and try to make their
church stronger and larger. The
unity of the church was urged upon
the congregation and it was urged to
Join together in an united effort for
the upbuilding of the membership.
Incidentally, the pastor discussed the
right of the pastor to free speech and
to praise the criticise as he saw his
duty, maintaining this to be some'
thing which was a part of his work.
He praised the church for its loyalty
to its pastor in the past and bespoke
a similar action for his successor
Rev. Gade In the future. Rev. Sals
bury spoke at some length and his
address was among the strong, forci
ble lines which had made him so
well Hkel in this city.
Rev. Gade closed the services with
the benediction, asking for divine
guidance for the pastor and the con
gregation and the bestowal of all
those blessings which a good and
faithful people should deserve.
Altogether the services were very
impressive and served to make the
congregation appreciate that they
have duties owing which they must
attend to if they will maintain an
able and capable pastor.
The church had been handsomely
decorated for the occasion, the altar
being very pretty in a profusion of
flowers. The decorating was the
work of the ladies of the church).

traveler was anywhere about.
The people all over the country
were out in force to witness the
strange and unusual phenomena of
passing through a comet's tail and
the more timid w ere some w orrled
over the prospects for trouble while
the event was on but all were doom
ed to disappointment. Not a glimpse
of the celestial visitor was had and
there was not a thing unusual in the
heavens save an aurora which was
observed in the north and much of
the beauty of that was lost In the
bright moonlight. The expected show
ers of meteorltles or "falling stars"
as they are some times called, also
failed to come through as expected
and the night was peaceful and calm.
In fact, last evening was one of
the prettiest seen here this year and
if the passing of the earth through
the comet's tail would produce more
of them the people would be well
catisfied to have Halley hang around
and exhibit his comet whenever he
felt so disposed. Many of the parties
which gathered to see the expected
sensation stayed up until a very late
hour, and scanned the heavens for
some little token of undue things
but only fair Luna, was in the mar
ket with the goods.
The superstitious who had expect
ed the earth to bo destroyed by a
great collision had their fears for
their pains and today they are rest
ing comfortable, knowing that the
comet is headed away from the earth
and will not come back again for
seventy-five years when most of us
will long since have been gathered to
the bosom of our fathers. From all
over the country come reports of ob
serving parties but In all cases little
was seen which would be Intelligent
to the laymen. To the scientists the
day and night were fruitful for ob
servation, the clear skies giving them
splendid opportunities for observing
the strange visitor and Its habits and
for gathering data as to Its materials.
There Is some diversity of opinion
as to when the earth entered the
comet's tail among the astronomers
but it Is generally placed at between
ten and eleven o'clock at night. At
the time of entry the observers at
Yerkes observatory at Williams Bay,
Wis., estimated the speed of the earth
at a little more than forty-six miles
per second and that the earth would
travel through the tall In a little
over five hours. At this observatory
excellent photographs were taken and
many accurate records of meteoric
phenomena and atmospheric condi
tions were observed. At this observa
tory sixteen cameras especially con
structed for photographing the skies
and fourteen telescopes were pointed
at the comet and the sky every foot
of which was covered. Hundreds of
exposures were made. The brilliant
nothern lights which were observed
here as noted above, at about 9:30
p. inf., were also soon at that point
and Prof. Mitchell of New York who
was observing there, announces them
as most brilliant and to be the direct
result of the comet's approach. He
also announced this as the most im
portant observation made bo far.
One of the most important dis
coveries to be made by the various
observers was that of huge sunspots
on the sun. From St. Louis no less
than thirty sun spots were observed,
one of which was estimated to be
15,000 miles across. These spots
according to Father Martin S. Bren
nan, astronomer at Kenrlck seminary,
one of the most noted observers In
the county, indicate violate solar
eruptions. There were three groups
of the spots, one of twenty-six, one
of three and one lone spot. The
largest sun spot ever seen, according
to aFther Brennan, was In August,
1848. It was 182,000 miles in dia-
to Father Brennan, was In August,
believe the spots had any connection
with the comet. Father Grennan
states that the spots are unusual at
this time of the year but need cause
no uneasiness.
At Pasedena, Cal the same obser
vatlons were made by Dr. George
R Halo, observer at Carnegio ob
servatory. Dr. Halo assorts tho
strong magnetic fields which tho dls
turbanres on tho sun would create
might disturb tho earth's magnetic
field and cause storms but ho did not
believe them to be responsible for
the recent earthquakes.
Contrary to expectation there was
no Interruption to wireless tele-
skies.
In Chicago for several days before
the time for the comet's arrival great
agitation existed among the foreign
element over it. Especially was this
true with Russian emigrants who had
received letters from that country
telling them of the coming of the
end of the earth. Many Catholic
priests, according to the Chicago Trl
bune, reported that they had had
many confessions on that account
one of them telling of a man who had
confessed for the first time In four
teen years. In the congested dls
trlcts of the large cities the same
conditions existed but today there
must ie much, happiness over the
discovery that no danger existed
Prof. Jacoby of Columbia unlver
slty Is the only discordant note to be
heard among tho astronomers today
He declares tho earth did not enter
the comet's tail until this morning
and he does not expect to see much
tonight but tomorrow Is the big show.
His Interview follows:
New York, May 18, Prof. Harold
Jacoby of Columbia university will
not remain near his telescope during
the period of contact between the
earth and the comet's tall tonight.
He Is convinced that absolutely no
phononiena wqrth observing will be
noted. "These comet parties that are
being organized to sit out the comet's
passage will have a lonesome Job,"
he said In an Interview given out to
day. "The next we shall see of the com
et will be such a sight as will really
set the people on edge who view it.
Tonight we shall not be able to see
the comet because It will set with
the sun. The same will be true on
Thursday. But there will be a great
sight In the western sky on Friday
night. That Is the real night for
comet parties.

Money Raising in This Way
The practice of churches in giving
entertainments, suppers and affairs
of the kind for the purpose of rais
ing money w as attacked by Bishop A.
L. Williams, in an address before,
the forty-third annual council of the
Diocese of Nebraska at Trinity Ca
thedral yesterday afternoon.
"It seems to me an unchurchly ap
peal, when an effort Is made to give
a contributor to the cause a material
return for his money," said the bis
hop. "The gift without the giver la
bare.' "
Bishop Williams also took occa
sion to call the attention of the
clergy of the diocese to the regula
tion concerning the marriage of
divorced persons. He demanded that
they should adhere strictly to the
canon of the church.
While the bishop offered criticism,
in no uncertain terms his address
wa3 marked by a note of optimism.
He spoke with earnestness of the
material and spiritual progress of
the church in this Btate.
"There is a growing sense of the
duty of the wealthy to leave in their
will3 bequests for church and chari
ties." said the bishop. "The time Is
close at hand, when it will be deem
ed as much a duty as to provide for
one's family."
The council session opened in Trin
ity Sathcdral with an ordination serv
ice, John D. Rice being ordained dea
con by Bishop Williams, who also
preached the sermon.

A Cruel Joke.
Some wag last night took advant
age of the confiding nature of our
good friend Albert D. Despaln and
played a cruel and unusual joke on
him. Knowing of Albert's warm In
terest In natural phenomena and ex
pecting that he would be on the qui
vlve, so to speak, for any strange de
velopment which the heavens might
yield all incident to the passage of
the earth through the comet, this
wag laid in a supply of sky rockets
of assorted sizes and colors which he
planned to let loose about the time
the sensation was supposed to be at
Its heighth. So at about midnight
the rockets were fired up and sent
soaring Into the heavens to Impress
Albert and many others with the
Idea that a great flight of meteors
had taken place. The bait took and
Mr. Despaln was the proudest man In
town this morning as he believed that
he had had a grand sky meeting
pulled off for his own especial bene
fit. He described in detail to ye re
porter how the meteor soared and
crackled through tho atmosphere
bursting into a myriad of pieces and
.even insinuated that ho believed he
would take a spade and go out and
dig up some of tho remains. When
he reads this ho will find that his
meteors were only rockets and wero

some fine French plate glass mir
rors which are to run around the
west side of the room from tho
door in the west side to the corner
door on Main and Fourth streets and
which will fill in the short space on
the east from the window to the
door to the upstairs. The space to
be covered on the west is some thirty
feet. The mirrors come in sections
of five feet three inches In length.
by twenty Inches wide and are very
handsome affairs. These mirrors will
be set in a solid frame of oak which
will rest upon the walnscoatlng, the
top of the frame standing two feet
above the top of the walnscoatlng
This will make Mr. McDanleJ's place
by far the handsomest In Interior

the state. The mirrors face the bar
and they will afford a very large and
complete view of the interior of the
room. It Is an improvement well
worth mentioning and is In line with
Mr. McDaniel's policy of develop
ment and Improvement. The work
was commenced today, a representa
tive of the Midland Glass company
of Omaha being here to put the mir
rors In place while the carpenter
work Is being done by Messrs. Albert
Despaln and Henry Jess. The cost of
the new furnishings will be several
hundred dollars but It is money well
invested as It increases the handsome
appearance of the Interior far beyond
the expenditure.
