"Universal Christianity" It was not n Jnrgn nmllcncc , but it was ono attentive ami earnest , wliiuli listened to the ruinarK.s of Hcv.V. . W. 1'alnior in the city hall last uvcmnir. Mr. Palmar , it might be .stated , is a Christian preacher. HP was invited by Kov. C. U. ( iiilliver , 1) . D. , pastor of the First Pres byterian clmruh. of Hiiiglnimplon , N. Y. , to lill the pulpit during the ubsonco of Dr. ( iiilltver upon a much needed vaca tion. He preached live or six sermons which attracted great attention because of their unexpectedly broad and liberal tenor. Wlinn Dr. ( Jnlliver resinned his pulpit he touk occasion to take is- MIO with Dr. 1'aliner upon some of the hitter's deductions , and the result was a newspaper debate of over two weeks , one reverend gentleman occupying the columns of the leading ninniinir dally one Jay and the other on the following morning. The re- Milt , as far sis ponular verdict wus con cerned , was that Mr. 1'almcr had , to use n common phrase , decidedly "the best of it. " Yet he was not voted orthodox enough to occupy a Presbyterian pulpit permanently , and ho has meo then ( eight years iijro ) been preacliinti m vari ous cities without special ecclesiastical recognition. Last night Mr. Palmer presented his views of the needs of the age in speaking upon the topic of "Universal Christian ity. " He declared the teachings of the Hible to be intended for the guidance of nil men. He said that Christ died to show to sinners of every nationality and every color that lie loved them all. He einnliasi/.ed his belief and his faith in the pure democracy of the gospel of Jesns of Na/.areth , and asserted that forms , and creeds , ami symbols , had no part in the real salvation ol human .souls. When the man or the woman or thu child learns that the essence of Godhead is truth , and fait ness , and charit.v. and gen erosity , nnil patience , nnd gentility , then is the light of the Spirit shed upon them. Mr. Palmer will remain in Omaha per manently , and he contemplates build ing up here something such a church as Prof. Swing preaches to in Chicago. SC11O01 , SIATTKUS. Vacating tlio Basements A New Hcliool lOtc. The board of education's committee on buildings and property has been bn y during the vacation to get rooms in read iness for the vacation of a number of basement school rooms at the beginning of the spring term to-day. The commit tee has rented Toft's store room on Saundcrs street , in which has been fitted mi three rooms for the relief of the Long school. An addition has been built to the old lirownull hall , thus giving two add itional rooms at thu Lcavenworth street school. The use of a church has been se cured for the relief of the Lake school. As yet the committee lias not been able to secure any room in the- vicinity of the J/ard school for the purpose of vacating the basement in that building. As thu resolution ordering the vacation of the basements was imperative , some other arrangements will have to bo made for accommodation of the students who have been aticnding thu basement school at the Izard until a suitable room can be secured. The Georgia avenue school building will bo ready for occupancy to-day and will be placed under the charge of Miss Lillian A. Littlelield as principal. This is a line eight room building which was commenced nearly a year ago , and was contracted to bo ready for occupancy last December. Owing to some change in the plans the delay of four months was occasioned. At present but four rooms of the building will be occupied. Secretary Conoyer of the board of edu cation , is still confident that the present members of the board have been legis lated out of ollico by the now school law. lie has secured the opinion of sonic of the best attorneys of thu city who coincide with his views. The extension of the city limits ab sorbs two school boards , that of West Omaha precinct , and that of Qnaley's district. v Fmiornls of Mrs. It. .1. Saxo , Mrs. Minna Bleiiioin nnil Sirs. Gillun. Thu funeral bolls tolled mournfully yesterday and the sad requiem was sung over the last earthly resting places of three estimable ladles who were done with life's fitful fever and had entered into the blessed sleep with which death had kissed their eyelids down. Mrs. H. J. Saxo , the wife and mother who has made herself so beloved in re ligious and social circles , was made the subject of a most eloquent and feeling discourse by Hov. Mr. House , of the First Methodist Episcopal church. The edifice was crowded with sympathising friends of the bereaved husband and alllictod „ sons , as well as with mourning friends of , the deceased. The lloral offerings were very profuse , a full carriage being con voyed from the church to the cemetery , besides the ( lowers which decorated the casket. The obsequies over the remains of Mrs. Minna Siemon , daughter of Hon. 1'red Met/ , were observed at the residence , 805 " \ irginia avenue. The lloral tributes wore profile , consisting of a n-nnber of largo and beautiful pieces. Fully two hundred and fifty mourners were in at tendance , and those who followed the remains - mains to the grave occupied thirty car riages. Mrs. Kosa Glllan's funeral was ob served at the Woman's Christian associa tion rooms , 1COO Farnam street , Kev Harsha , of the First Presbvterian church , ollicinted. The burial , as with the other funerals , was at Prospect Hill. Drexel & Maul very appropriately con ducted the arrangements ot the several tuournful occasions. Slack vn. .jump Coat. Cheap fuel is ono of the chiuf factors to thu establishment of it manufacturing center. Water power is seldom found whrre the supply bat all timessulliciont , us shown at Minneapolis , where the largo ( louring mills have found it necessary to ndd steam power as well. Omaha is the natural distributing pol nt for the largo bcctlon west of us and the question arises , why should not Omaha become n manufacturing point and sup ply this largo and growing territory. The cost of/Hul is the principal objection ad vanced , which we will endeavor to show is not wtdl taken. Chicago has become an important nmnnfncturlng point without the advan tage of as cheap fuel as Omaha can ob tain , when wo cons ! lor slack or coal .screenings , for thu following reason ; The Illinois coal la found in such thin veins as to render It necessary in order to mine the coal to stoi > in the mutter adjacent to the coal , which consists principally of jjrc clay , soaptonc HUI * wlute , thesb in combustible substances , the ( ire clay nnd f-oap.stone , being line as well as much of the slate , go with the screenings , so that thu slack coal mined near enough to Chicago cage to be utilized by manufacturers is about one-fourth IncombiHtiblo matter ; consequently its use does not prove an economy over the lump coal. The coal deposit running south erly through Iowa. Missouri , Kan sas and the Indian territory , Is found in veins so thick ( from M.X to eight feet ) that the coal is mined within it-elf , so that what is commonly termed the slackwlueh ( is the richest part of thoco.il that bleaks oil' from the lumps when being mined and moved about ) consists of a larger Percentage of fuel than the lump coal from the same mine , as the in combustible portion of the coal ( which forms clinker when burned ) is harder than the coal itself , running in minute veins or streaks through the coal , there- foie , does not break up in handling to the same extent as the soft noal. It will bo seen from the foregoing that the objec tion to the line coal screenings ( called slack ) in Chicago does not hold good in Omaha. Thu impottancu of this difference will bo manifest when you consider that this slack coal can bo secured in this market for about one-half the price of the lump coal from the same mines , and furthermore when it is found that the same quantity of this slack coal will do even more work than like quan tity of the lump. Wo may be a little in advance of most of our realtors in this last statement , as we recognize the fact that most , if not all authorities , have el.tiined that slack coal will not produce as much heat as t lie same amount of lump coal , but present appliances have over come the dillicnlties in burning slack with the same , if not hotter results , than lump coal ; in fact English companies are now formed for burning line coal on ocean steamers , even grinding the lump to a powder and feeding it to the furnaces by means of a steam blast , and thus dis pensing with stokers or liremon , thus not only saving in help , but it is claimed showing better results from the same amount of line coal over lump. Our aim in this article is to show that the great'objection , cost of fuel , so often cited , docs not hold good as against Omaha's becoming a manufacturing point , for better fuel can be secured here , by utili/.ing slacU , than in Chicago at from fifty cents to one dollar per ton less cost to the consumer. As far as the UEI : is concerned it proposes to burn slack coal under its boilers and give its readers the benefit of the saving. When coal is mined in Omaha , as wo trust will soon be the case , the gain in u ing black will be much greater , the difference in price increasing the nearer wo approach thu mines.

Spovtinu Notes.

Patrol Driver George Trimble is on luty again after a week's illness. The Herald April Fool suicide canard ought to have been killed. It was "dumped on the wrong gallcv , " evi dently. Two inebriated individuals became im pressed with the idea , early yesterday morning , that they were fencers , anil crossed swords with their canes in front of Lehman & Co.'s , l.'llS Farnam. One of the canes slipped. The wind did the rest yesterday , i'ho damage is about $75 to a \0.\8 plato glass window. Ofliccr Louis Godola of the police force yesterday found three trunks on n vacant lot between Cuming ami liurt , west of Twenty-third street.

Ho turned up his nose disdain fully yo.Merday when no was told that a foot front was only worth * 1,500 m the business part of the city , Hastings has 12,000 people and a sensation every day. There Was SnincthTnc of That Kind. " 1 introduced the Hon. Air. Crane , of Loup county , to Hon. A. V. Quinn , of Hvanston , Wyo , , who has been u member of the Wyoming council several sessions , last evening at the Pacific depot , " said n gentleman who sometimes drops into the Hur. oflico in the woo sma1 hours , "And as they shook Mr. Quinn remarked : ' 1 suppose you are glad to bo through an unprofitable three months' work. ' Mr. ( rune replied : 'Well , it may bo unpro fitable for you fellows out in a .territory , but hero in a'stato wo elect ail United btates senator occasionally. ' It reminded mo of a stv , " Continued ' the early morning visitor of the HEK , "which Agcr , of the railroad commission , told me ono day down In Lincoln. He said that a member of the house of representatives had come to him nnd quite Indignantly said one days 'This talk about my tak ing money for my vote four or five times is all a d d lie. I only took money twice and that was when I would have done jnft as tdidanvway. ' " I asked Mr. Agon " \ \ ho was that , CrancV" " over mind who it was , " he replied. How It Works on Cnttlo. Hon. A. V. Qulnti , of the firm of Heck- with Quinn , of Wyonlng , crossed his legs in the rotunda of the Paxton last evening and said ; "Yes , this inter-state law may bs all riant for you fellows hereon on the .Missouri , but it is different with us who raise cattle out in Wyoming. It means a raise of .f'5 a car for us from Wyoming to Chicago" . "What wilt bu thu effect of that ? " was asked. "Oh , simply that the price of cattle will rise in Chicago , or all of Wyoming cattle will stop in Omaha. 1 think it will bo Omaha. Omaha is bound to become , in time , and a short time at thattwo or theo years thu greatest fresh meat market in the world. The truth is that with corn at ten cunts a bushel , as it will be under the increased freight rates of the inter-slate law , wo , in Nebraska and Wyoming , will have to fatten and kill and pack our meat. The outside world will then have to pay us what it is worth. " Heal Hut u to Real estate transfers filed April 2 , 1837 , reported for the HKB by the C. E.
