The students of the Omaha commercial
college wcro treated to nn Interesting and
valuable lecture last Saturday night by Hov.
C. W. Snvldgo. There was a largo turn-out ,
and the fatherly nnd kind words of the rev
erend gentleman who si > 0ko ns follows were
listened to with the utmost decorum und
attention throughout :
Young ladles nnd gentlemen of the Omaha
commercial college : I am very glad to meet
you and to spend this hour with you. I want
to congratulate you on the excellent opportu
nity here afforded you to secure a business
education. I am very glad that I can call the
professors of this Institution my personal
friends. I have known the Hohrbough
brothers nnd Prof. Worloy for years , and my
appreciation of them has steadily increased.
First of all , they are good men ; then they
nro competent and nblo teachers. I um
siot nt nil surprised that this college has
prospered under their wlso management , nor
do I wonder that within the past four years
2,000 students have received instruction hero
for n longer or shorter time , nnd of these 400
young men have bjcn sent out capable of
lllllng responsible positions und lire now
doing well.
Looking Into your faces ns I do to-night ,
brlng's up before mo In panoramic view my
own college life. I left my father's farm at
nineteen years of age. My fortune consisted
of a fixed purpose to do right , n small trunk
full of clothes and $ . " > In money. 1 took a
three years' preparatory course and four
years in the classical course. I worked my
own way through and paid inv own bills. I
do not think It Is u misfortune for a boy to be
poor , it Is ofttlmcs rather a great help , for hi
that case the hey has neither leisure 01
money to go to the devil with. When I came
out of college I had good health , a sheepskin
nnd f 10 In money , nnd with this immense
capital I wont into my present
business. I have only two regret *
us I look over my school days ; first , 1
did not make all that work as practical us I
might have done. To-night I would gladlj
trade some knowledge of Latin and Greek
for the ability to write a good hand In plain
English. My writing is absolutely fearful
Ono of my professors looked at it a lew years
ago nud salt : "Well it is peculiar. There is
nothing like It in heaven or on earth. " This
hand I write has been a disadvantage to im
all along. I suppose you have heard of the
trouble Horuco Greely got into on account o :
his illegible hand. It Is said ho wrote i
business letter to un old farmer. , The farmoi
could not read it so ho gave it to his tw (
daughters to read. They made it out that 1
Was an offer of marriage to the oldest girl
nnd she wrote back that everything wn :
all right. Mr. Greely having a gooi
deal of chivalry in his makeup
performed his part of the programme. If
were taking a 'course' again , I would gc
mind discipline out of practical studies. M ;
other mistake was this , I did not put tin
value on those years of study that I shouli
now. I should do moro thorough work , or tr ;
to at least if 1 had the ground to go over. Ii
distinct Images of truth are worthless. Tin
thing wo know , alone is of value. But thos
days have gone , and with their successes nm
failures must stand us they are written. Th
present only is ours.
Our subject to-night Is "Elements of Sue
cess. " Literally the word "Success" mean
the prosperous Issue or favorable terminatio
of anything. At the present day , the wor
has practically two definitions. "Success
in the eyes' of many means gain
means money without regard to conscious
or character. "Success" is only the synonyr
for line clothes , magnificent houses an
grounds and splendid turnouts. Or It menu
a place and name In the political history o
of the country. Thousands of people In thi
city fall in with this idea of "success. " I
this bo success , may Go d deliver us from It
Some of the worst failures we have eve
seen have been called successiu by th
crowd. But thcro is n higher success. I :
my Judgment the successful man may bo ricer
or poor , for money is not the chief factoi
Did a man ever ask if Andrew Marvel , o
England , was rich ? Do wo estimate Lincol
or Gartlold or Logan any the less hi
cuuso they were not millionaires ) Ah ! in
Success means rather un attainment o
character. It means integrity and nobilit
and purity of soul. Then ns a natural const
ij micnco the living nnd ofthnes wealth follows

f you must toll mo what ho is rather tha
what ho has. You yourselves can name tli
elements which produce this success I cl <

in your childhood , so much in your favo :
Fix your aim high. Let it bo the dcveloj

in this city who are both noble men , and the
have already secured a competency. Oh ,
you young men would only have a high idea
Not so much ns to the business they chooa
oa to the manhood they shall devclopo in the
respective lines.
Again , success , to-day , demands a bnu
heart. This world is full of cowards. Man
men now are much like that fellow w\
climbed the rafters while , his wife killed tl
bear with the poker , and then came dow
nnd said " \Vifo , I believe you nnd mo t
Brother could kill the devil. " Never fen
There is a place for you if you will win It at

You must have a backbone. Andrew Juc
son had only ono bono In his buck and tin

peed example of will power. Ho said , "J
long ns there Is a man in Prussia , ho sha

the result of that sovcn year's war. Yc

lotto Cushmnn said , "They say it is genlu
but I tell you it is nothing but sweat. " Labi
is the condition of all improvement. Tl
pi-eat names of the world wore none of the
idlers.
Then do your work well. It docs n
matter so much what you do , :
how you do It. The value of skilled labor
estimated on a democratic basis. Preside

Parker house restaurant , and Mary T. Boot

Drunk nnd SnnUos.
A strange looking man of about thirty-five
came rushing into the police station last even

said sonio persons wcro pursuing him. The
manner of the man at first startled the
ofllecrs , but they soon began to realize that
the pursuers were all imaginary. The Jailer
saw that something was wrong with the

Tjo.st in Nicaragua.
Now Orleans Tlfnos-Dpmocrnt : A
party of Amurlcun engineers is cn-
{ jneil in Nicaragua in surveying a line
for an intor-ocotin canal. They com
menced oparatioiiH on the Atlantic uitle
along the river San Juan. The dilll-
cnltics of the work are great and numer

tropical forest , with a thick under
growth tnngled and interlacing vinos.
Among _ the recent incidents of this
survey wore the ineijlonts of two of the
who became bewildered in the
Early

nine days exposed to serious privations.
On the i0th ! of December , Urunford , n
"Vicuraguan , and Allen , a Jamaican ,
tarted on foot to carry the mail from

ant rain had Hooded the swamps and

n order to make any progress. Globe ,

was riding on an engine when hocaMgli
a cinder in his eye that caused the mo-
excruciating pain. Ho began to rub th
alllictcd organ , when the engineer callc
out : ' 'Lot that eye alone and rub th

you know it all , but if you will lot tin
eye alone and rub the other one , th

It WAS a cold day .for sports yesterday , nnd
yet the porting fraternity managed to make
a day of It. Only those Inured to the chilli
ness of a cold water state wore nblo to bear
up ngnlnst the biting blasts that kept their
higher living companions under cover , nnd
Charlie Standard and Charlie Landers
stripped and toed the scratch nt the fair
grounds In Council Blurts waiting for the
pistol shot that waste send them over n
fifty yard track. Tommy Brooks held "the
gun" ns starter and Johnny Larklns acted ns
referee , with Ed Kothcry officiating as judge ,
nnd holding the { 100 stakes. It was nbout
S:45 : when the pistol shot sent both men off.
though Landers ftccmcd a little unprepared
nnd lost three yards , that still stood against
him when ho passed the tape. The race was
accordingly given to Standard , nnd so was
the purse , about $400 changing bands on
the outside. Quito a number of Omaha
sports were on hand and the only disagree
able feature was the cold wind ,
DotCH ltvtlic Pit.
While the two Charlies were testing their
speed In Council Bluffs , two bull-dogs wore-
testing their staying powers In nn all-around
athletic contest In Omaha. One of them Is
already known to fame , and the other made n
game light , but it was found If not out-
weighted the stronger was matched. Three
times ho came to the scratch and three times
ho got the worst of It , when his owner , not
wishing to see him needlessly punished ,
Withdrew both the dog and his claim to the
stakes. In this case also , considerable money
changed hands , nnd just one-half of those
who bet went homo satsllcd.
A lint Kl
A still smaller number of sports hid them
selves in a cellar to settle the question
whether ruts wcro "gome birds" or not. ,
Eight of the rodents hud been caged for the
piirnososomo days ago , but on counting heads
one was found missing. Whether ho had
been eaten by his companions or escaped
no one could say , but no time wus
lost in deciding. Although the nit catcher
would not admit it , there was but little doubt
the animals had been kept without food or
water , as they presented an unusually gaunt
and ravenous appearance , nnd lost no tlmo In
making nn attack. The question of their
being game was soon settled and the money
handed over , for in less than three minutes ,
ono wus stretched dead on the floor , und the
other so badly injured that for "humane"
reasons ho w.is given to a terrier to dispatch.
Ho was dispatched. Ono other rat escaped
in the handling , nnd the remaining bittles
were ended by ono small active looking rat
getting a death-grip on the throat of an ap
parently heavier adversary , and maintaining
it to the last. The third battle was not
fought , as they sought their respective corn
ers , and were only driven out by the afore
said terrier who gave them each a farewell
shake. _
Pnrrots Have n Time.
The only public entertainment was an im
promptu bar-room scrap between two par-
roti known to most sporting men ( is Pom
and liob. Without thinking of the consequences
quences , as they wcro at ono time friends ,
Bob was introduced to Pom's cage , and was
given a perfectly natural laugh as ho came
In. After thinking it over ho assumed a
belligerent ntttituito and issued an invitation
to "como on Pom. " Pom came and kept on
coming for nearly an hour , but it was gener
ally up from the bottom of the cage where
his lighter and more nctlvo rival had knocked
him. They both rendered the mutch decid
edly interesting by enlivening it with the
choicest specimens of English tlicir vocabu
lary afforded , and when at last they
sought the opposite sides of the
single perch the capo possessed
nud the covering was put over it , they still
could bo heard exchanging complimentary
remarks , with nn occasional invitation to
"come on" and "get there. "

A heavy-weight of Iowa is willing to try
his staying powers before Pat Killen , and

THE MAHOMMEDAN DOCTRINE
Letter From the Chief Authority of th
Moslem Church to n Convert.
Translated from the Turkish by Gcorg
Washburn , D. E. , "resident of Hobert co :
logo , near Constantinople.
New 1'oifc Ziulepouknt.
Dear Sir : Tho' letter by which yo
ask to bo received into the heart of th
Musselmnn religion has boon receive
and has caused us a lively satisfaction
The reflections which you make on thi
occasion appears to us worthy of th
highest praise.
At the same time wo ought to cnl
your attention to the fact that your coi
version to lalnmiBm does not admit tin
intermediary , like thq clergy , botweo
God and his servants. Our duty' consist
only iu toacuiug Uie people religioi
truthfv Consequently , .convorslorr to
Isliunlsm demands lioTcMploiiB formal-
( iy nnd depends upon'tha authorization
of'no'ono. . It Is sufllclfclit to bollovo
und to proellilm ono"s belief.
In fact , Ishunlsm hatnfor its btio fnttli
In thd unity of God and in the mission
of his dourest servant Mohammed ( may
Ootl cover him with blessings and grant
linn salvation ] ; i. o. , to accept consoien-
tiously this faith and to avow it in
words , ns expressed ; by the phrase :
"Thoro is only ono God tind Mohummcd
is his prophet. " Ho who mnkos this
profession of fulth becomes n Mussul-
mtin without having need of tlio consent
or approbation of anyone. If , ns you
promise Iu your lottery you mtiko this
profession of fulth , that is to Buy , you dc-
cltxro thnt there is only ono God nnd
that Mohammed Is his prophet , you become -
como a Mussulman without having need
of our acceptance ; and wo , for our part ,
felicitate you with prldo and joy for
having boon touched by divine grace ,
and wo shall testify in this world and
in the other that you are our
brother. Believers are nil brothers.
Such is a summary definition of faith.
Lot us enter now upon some develop
ments of It , Man who is superior to the
other nnimnls by his intelligence , wns
'created out of nothing to adore his Cro-
utor. This adoration may bo summed
up in two wordw to honor the com
mands of God aud to sympathize with
his creatures. This double ndorntlmi
exists in all religions. As to its prac
tice religions ililTor as to their rules ,
lorms , times , places , the greater or less
number of their rites , etc. But the hu
man intelligence docs not sulllco to as
sure us of the manner of praying which
is most worthy of the divine glory ; HO
God in his mercy , in according to cer
tain human beings the gift of prophecy ,
iu sending to them , by ungolg , inspira
tion , writings and books , aud in so rev
ealing the true religion , has over
whelmed his servants with blessings.
The book of God which descended last
from heaven is the sacred Koran , the
unchangeable teachings of which , care
fully preserved from the lirst day in
written volumes and in the memory of
thousands of reciters , will last even to
the day of the lust judgment.
The llrst of the prophets wns Adam
, and the .last was Mohammed ( may God
give him salvation ) . Between these
two many others have lived : their num
ber is known only to God. The greatest
of all is Mohammed. After him como
Jesus , Moses , Abraham , Noah and
Adam ( may God grant them salvation ) .
All the prophets have threatened
their followers with the day of the last
judgment. So it is necessary to believe
that the dead will appear before the
tribunal of God to render their accounts
and that the elect will bo sent to par-
adibo and those condemned to hell.
All the actions of every ono in
this world will bo examined on that day
ono by one ; and although all the acts of
soldiers in holy war , oven their sleep ,
are considered as a prayer , they also
will bo obliged at the judgment day to
render an account. The only exception
is for those who die as martyrs , who
will go to paradibo without examina
tion.
tion.Also
Also it is necessary , ns an article of
faith , to attribute all good and all evil
to providence of God. To bay that the
creator of good is the angel , and the
creator of evil the demon , is one of those
errors which it is necessary to avoid.
Consequently the believer ought to
have faith in God , in His angels ; in His
books , in His prophetsin the last judg-
Inont , aud in His will ns the source of
all good and evil. Ho who accepts
these truths is a true beliovor. But to
bo a perfect believer it is necessary to
perform certain duties * " to pray to God ,
and to avoid fulling into such sins as
murder , robbery , adultery , etc.
Besides the profession of faith of
which wo have spoken of above , a good
Mussulman ouglit to pray five times a
day , ami distribute to the poor a fortieth
[ wvrt of his goods every year , fast during
the month of Ramazan and make once
, n his life a pilgrimage to Mecca.
If a believer does not conform to the
nws of God , and does not avoid what ho
lorbids , ho docs not become an infidel ,
but ho is considered as a sinner ; that is ,
.is a wandering believer , and ho will
merit a temporary punishment in the
other world. lie isn the hands of God.
God pardons him or condoms him to
pass a certain time in hell , proportioned
Lo his guilt.
Faith annuls all sin. He who is con
verted to Islamism becomes as innocent
us if just born , and ho is responsible
only for the sins committed after his
conversion.
A sinner who rqponts and in person
asks God's forgiveness obtains pardon.
Onlj1 the rights of his neighbors are an
exception to this rule , for the servant of
God who cannot obtain justice in this
world reclaims his right at the day of
judgment , and God , who is just , will
then compel the oppressor to make res
titution to the oppressed. Even the
martyrs are no exception to this rule.
To avoid this responsibility the only
means is to got a quittance from your
neighbor whom you have wronged. In
all cases , hoivovor , there is no need ol
the intercession of a spiritual director.
All this no doubt seems strange tc
Eeople accustomed to a sacrcdotal rcg-
inc. When a Christian child is born ,
to make part of society ho must bo bap
tized by a priest ; when ho grows up he
needs a priest to marry him ; if he
would pray , ho must go to a church and
Hud a priest ; to obtain forgivonebs foi
his sins he must confess them to r
priest , and ho must hove a priest to bur }
him.
In the Mussulman religion , } vherc
thcro is no clergy , such obligation !
have no place. The infant is born i
Mussulman , nnd his father , or the chiol
of the family , gives him a niimp. "Whor
they wish to contract a marriage , thi
man and the woman , or their agents
make the contract in presence of twi
witnesses ; the contracting parties art
the only ono interested , and the othen
cannot interfere or take part.
A iniissulman prays all alone in nn.i
place which suits his convenience , ant
to merit the remission of his sins hi
goes directly to God. Ho does not con
fcss them to others , nor ought ho to di
so. At his death the Mussphnan in
habitants of the town are obliged to pu
him in a collln and jbury him. Ain
Mussulman can do this ; the presence
of a religious chief is not necessary.
In u word , in all religious acts then
is no intermediary between God ant
His servants. It is necessary to learn
the will of God , revealed by the propho
and to net in conformity with it.
DOnly the accomplishment of certaii
religious ceremonies such as the prayers
ors on Friday and at Boiram is subordi
nated to the will of the caliph , of tin
prophet , and the sultan of Mussulmans
since the arrangement of corenionio
for Islamism is ono of his sacred attri
butcs. Obedience to his orders is om
of the most important religious dutipa
As to our mission , it consists in admin
istorlng , in his name , the roligioui
nlTairs which ho deigns to conlldo to us
Ono of the things to which over ;
Mussulman ought to bo very attontivi
is righteousness in character ; vices
such as pride , presumption , egotism
nnd obbtinnncy , do not become a Mus
sulman. To revere the great and ti
compassionate the insignificant are pro
cents of Islamlfam.
May God give success nud salvation t <
him who is touched by divine v wo.
