tloty nnd the United States ideological sur
vey for the purpose of exploring the region
about Mount St. Kilns , Aluskn , liai returned.
Jtlr. lliwsoll , who organized the expedition
nnd had charge of the work , has furnished
the Associated press a [ ilctuiosiiue sketch of
the work of his party.
Tlio actual base of operations , at the head
of Yukntat bay , was icached Juno U9 , and
the study of the geology and geog
raphy of the region began at once.
.They found mi island near the bend
of the bay , which they named Grand view
island. From 1U summit , which rises
boldly a thousand feet ttbavo tbo water , a
inagnlllccut vlovv was .obtained of a vaat
utrutch of snow c'ad ' mountains , from which
( 'hiolcrs of reat , magnitude descended to the
sea and ended in cliffs iover.il hundred feet
lilgh. Pro in those the icebergs crow dhi the
biy vvtro derived. One of those Binders wo
jininod after Ualton , tbo pioneer explorer of
tlio lotion. Another ot largo slio at the
head nf the bay vvus named in honor of Gurd-
er Hubbaid , president of the national geo-
ruphlcul socloty , A inii iiillcc'iit inoun-
iala iieak rising some ten ttiousand
O-ot linmedlately above tbo Hubbard
glacier recel\cd the same name. Another
fo\v orlnu poalc on the sumo mountain crest ,
tduiiKiilitr laslitipound ulvvajsof the pui'o.st
white , wu named Mount Seattle.
" Vs soon as the toposranUluwork was well
underway tlio line of iniix'h toword Mount

wo found passes in the mountains
leading in the direction wo wished to travel
and no uiiMirmountaulo dltlleultlts in the
way , although great patleuco nnd judgment
\\oio required In threading the not woiic of
rrevusnes in the ice llclil. Probably more
than nine-tenths of our journey was across
filaclen anil snow Holds. On August 1 wo
v\eio midway between Yukutat bay and St.
jUas : , but still at the biso
of the mountains. Tbo timber
line h there about 11 ( teen lunulrod feet
lilgli and all tlio trees dU ii > i > c.ir u few miles
to the west. An Island of rock surrounded
by vast t'lnzlcrs , but clothed vv ith beautiful
llowors , rank ferns anu.dcnso spruce ticcs ,
furnished a delightful snot for our place of
camp. We named this lovely oisisiatho
desert of ice "Blossom Island. " Tiom there
our work In the high mountains began. After
twenty dnys of hard work above
the snow line wo found ourselves
encamped at tlio base of St. Ellas. The
uc.itbcr had been clear for ten dn > s and wo
had every prospect of n Rood day's climb ou
the morrow. liislnKatH in tbo nioiniiiR we
began vt hat wo believed to bo the Until as
cent , but after a few houis storm clouds sot-
tied down around us , snow DCKUII to full and
all the land marks woto lost to view. The
storm continued for thirty hours without ces
sation nnd it was uitli dilllculty that
wo found our way through tlio blinding- snow
to camp , where tlio necessary rations were to
bo hud. A second attempt was made to
reach the summit two duys later , but another
storm broke over the mountains as suudonly
as tbo Qrst. This tlmo I was alone in the
highest camp , wlicro I was imprisoned for six
da > n before able to rejoin the party below.
When i stalled down there were
six feet of new snow , which refused
to harder , and rendered it Impossible to do
more workamonp the peaks. On descending
to the low cr level I started on an excursion
up iho glacier between tlio St. Kilos range
nnd Mount Cook , which guvo promise of lead
ing to a low pass across the main range , but
a third snow storm coming up , I was obliged
to return to Blossom island , tind
there rejoined Mr. Kcrr , the photographer ,
who had descended a few days previous My
stay nbout the snow line lasted thirty-live
days. During that time wo lived in tents ,
many times camping on an npca glacier o as
to be out of rcucn of iuul.tni.Utxs. After re
turning to Blossom Island an excursion was
nmctn far out on the great Piedmont glacier ,
which forms n plntcuu about 11 f teen hundred
foot high , stretching along the southern b.iso
of the tit. Klhus range. This glacier is of the
continental typo in distinction from the
Alpine glaciers unil has un area by ostinmto
of about one thousand square miles. It is the
largest glac'.er in thu northern hemisphere
with the exception of tbo ice Holds of Gieu-
1 tad. Wo returned to Yulcatut bay about
September 20 , having had stormy weather
almost all the time since leaving the
vicinity of St. Ellas , and on tbo ii-M
our hoai Us were gladdened by seeing tbo
steamer Convlu coming up tlio bay , CupUiin
Hooper having made tlio cruise from bltka
especially for our iclief , uncl convened the ex
pedition to PortTownscud.
"From the point of view of the scientist , if
not ot tlio Alpinist , the expedition was a suc
cess. The plan pioposeu in starting was car
ried out almost to the letter , BO
. far as the study of glaciers , geology
nnd topography was concerned , but -\vo did
not reach the top of Mount St. Ellas. The
- measurements made have determined -hat all
the mountains in this region are lower than
previously supposed , nnd that St. Elios , in
stead of bciupr the highest point in North
Ameilcii , is In reality a second rate moun
tain. Its olovntlon , instead of being 19,500
feet , as previously consldored , is about l',5UO )
Mount Cook has an elevation of 10,350 aad
Vancouver 11,400 feet.

Rev. Willnrd Scott of St. Mary's avenue
Congtegitional church preached lust night
'
upon 'ThoYoiklng Classes and the
Chuich. " The address was replete with , ex
cellent thoughts and suggeatlvo of numerous
ideas for meditation. His scriptural text
was found lu Mathew xxv , 40 , which reads
us follows : "Inasmuch as yo have done it
unto the least of these , je have done it unto
me"
Hev. Scott began the address by relating
an incident of the preas miss meeting of tbo"
"chartists" in England , at Crawford tavern
iu London in. 1350. The pcoplo were demuud-
ingof piiUamcnt certain cousesslons and
there bad been very bitter denunciation of
the cnurch of Buglancl delivered , by a num
ber of speakers , rinully Charles KinRsley
arose , and folding his arms calmly , ho said :
' I am a rhurch of England parson niul I am
a Chartist. " Ttio effect of bis speech was to
tiauquUi7e the tuibulcnt anil iriotutoil
tbiotig. That is what the present tlmo stands
iu need of. There is a feeling among tbo so-
eallod laboring classes that the church Is
uguustthcm
iiricil ) stated , the Ideas presented by tbo
speaker were as follows :
There is no such tniug as "tho church" In
this country. "What some peoulo call "tho
chinch" is loprescuted by a number of
chinches. The churches seem to have for
gotten some thiugs that should bo lomcm-
ucied vuth regard to whit is duo the working
classes and the working classes scorn to have
forgotten some things that they should re-
nwmbcr with icgaid to what they owe tbo
churches In the beginning1 of tlio Chii.stl.m
churcb it was a poor ninu's church.
Cluist came to the working pcoplo and
among them ho founded tnu chuich. Tbo
idea at that time was ttiat it was linnl for tlio
rich man .o enter the kingdom of heaven. It
\\as the poor man's church into which a rich
man might possibly gain admittance ; now it
is said to be a rich man's church into which
the poor inaj possibly gala admittance.
The chuich has forgotten that Jesus taught
the new idea of love Instead of worship.
The church , of Christ U built more upon the
principle of fellowship than upon the idea of
worship Jesus taught the pcoplo to love
tholr etiommes. Before tbo time of Christ it
was considered to bo a very high nnd noble
sentiment to hate ones enemies. Jesus taught
howtolind the bettor pait of mankind , not
the baser part. There Is a way of gottlnirat
men by which wo tun find something good In
everybody.
A church of 100 members , who meet to
gether with love in their hearts for ouo an-
oilier Is moro nearly a Chiistlau churcb than
ono having live times as many members who
meet simply to worship. The Idea of worship
is the old lucaj but the idea of fellowship Is
the now.
The church should reach out after
the working classes. These In favor
able circumstances should make It
their work to extend assNtanco to these iu
unfavorable circumstances.
The laboring classes seem to huvo forgotten
that there is no stigma attached to the slm-
plo fact that a man Is poor. A worklugnmu
may und should , maintain his muuhood even
though ho bo poor. No man should fret or
complain because ho has not been chopped
into tbo lap of luxury.
QTlio working classes nro not free from a
certain pride aud unreasonableness thut may
bo Just as irritating to the employer as the
latollorauce of the employer Is to the labor
ing man. Every man should do his best to
bo happy In his own homo. No usu to look
at otlierb and fret. If ouo cannot enjoy tbo
society of people iu the church
where ho attends because they are
not of the satno class socially , the
bkirao should not bo all tin-own at the most
favorably situated class , The social bounds
cannot bo overstepped at pleasure. A work-
lug people's church would bo n good institu
tion lu Omaim. Several of thorn nro needed ,
although the working classes should bo made
welcome lu all tbo churches.
Speaking of the constituency of Ids own
church , ho said that the various callings
In life wcro represented In the membership
of that church as follows : Professional men ,
53 ; merchants , 71 ; bankers , 31 ; clerks , 1U5 ;
mechanics. 1' ' ; farmers , 3 ; laborers , 11 ! .
The working classes should hold together
anct stand for euch other better tbau they do.
They should remember that the carriage u
man owns i not a measure of his happiness ;
a ino-jsioa U not ni"cossurlly a happy
homey and n homo in tbo coun
try may bo Just ns happy as
n homo In the city. Among all classes hate
should bo laid ustdo and love should take ita
place. Hatowlll Injure only the ono who
feels It rankllnR.n ! lUj bosom. The question
with the church Muoulcl boi What do vo
owe to the workinR.classo3l And that need
should bo supplied.J ,

They Overlook Money and Valuables
"Within Easy Itcucti.
Mr. ana Mrs. J , \ \ . Cottou , who live at 300
north Sixteenth street , went to chuich yes-
teicluy as usual , ami while they were gone
burglars entered the house aud turned every
thing that was loose upsldodownin tbosearch
for valuables. Tbo failure of tbo burglars
however , to find money and valuables vvus
quite romntkable. In fact , the light lingered
contingent who undertook to burglarize Mr
Cotton's house should bo given a leather
mcdnl for the most remarkable exhibition of
blundering stupidity ever given in Omaha.
Mrs. Cottou loft her pocketbook ou tlio
back part of the dresser in her
bed room. It contained ? 13 She left nbout
$ ir 0 worth of silverware lying on the bed
with nothing but au apron oor it She left
her gold , watch on u small stand near the
bed vUth some newspapers Ijinj ? on It. When
the burglars -went at the dresser they
\\oro evidently in n great huny. for
they knocked the pocketbook off and It fell
botiiud the dresser aud was not found by the
burglars. The silvcrwaio was aUo loft undis
turbed , and tlio gold watch vvus left wheio It
had been placed by Mrs. Cottou. All
these valuables v\ero left , but the
burglars had to have something , and after
searching the house from garret totvller
they \\ent avvnj with three small clocks
worth about $1O la all
Mr unct Airs. Qottou were very much
amused over the stupidity of the burglars ,
and seem to think toit providence must have
been on tholr side uud against the burglnu.
Tiioro Is , ns yet , up clue to Identity of the
housebreakers. .
A
Eduard Strauss , is a master of technique.
lie excels in the mhuictiuo of his profession
and isubovo all and over all tbo greatest
player of dance mubic ever heard in America
Therols a tloridity , ivpootry about his work
which Is suggestive of the laud from whence
ho comes , the race from whence ho springs.
Last night. altnou h the closing ; night of
the Strauss engagement , the programme was
better calculated to please , the orchestra
bclutfin particuhrly peed form , the strings ,
wood winds and brtisses , all contributing to a
perfect ensemble. '
Strauss pero and Strauss fils , dominated
the programme , but so famous are * they ns
composers that It seemed but justlco to play
the music that has made tbo world brighter
for its existence
The performance began with the over
ture from the opera of "Mlgnon , "
very effectively played , followed by "Mony
Tales , " a waltz , by the director of the or
chestra , Herr Edward btrauss The most
effective work in the 11 rst pait followed the
prayer from the opera "Der rreischutz"
written in en exalted key , with magnificent
opportunity for the strings and wood-winds ,
it was listened to Intensely and encored rap
turously. The "Harlequin Polka , " by Jo-
hannStrauss , vas another of the beautiful
selections , magnllicently phrased
The second pavt was inaugurated bv the
playing of a number of airs from the ovci-
chnrmlnK "Mikado'1 and followed by u dainty
bit of the director's own composition , to
which ho has given the rouiantio title , "O
Beautiful Tune of Youth. " "Vislonf n
Dream , " bv Albert Junginaunand"Storiny lu
Love and Dance1 rounded out as dellcato
nnd yet as inspiring a musical programme as
has ever Iren given In Omaha.
Too much pialsecin not bo given , in this
connection , to Messrs. Koeder and Bell , tlio
managers of the Coliseum They handled
the hrge crowds llko old stigers ; thcro
wasn't the least bit of friction during the entire -
tire engasoment , which is saying a greit
deal , nnd their cousoiimtlous work in all the
details of the engagement is comuiondablo to
n degree.
To Ilcrr Strauss and his orchestra Omaha
expresses the hope that Emperor Fr.mils
Josofmny sotuoday grant them royal per
mission tocioss the seas aud brighten the
busy lives of the pcoplo of the west.

"moral suasion. " A gay and festive
imrglar , who probably was aware of the
&oft side of Mr. Koach's nature ,
paid a visit to the hitter's
lioino last Tuesday about midnight. You
can lieur a pin drop in the town of Bor-
vvick about midnight nnd it was a piece
of nffroritory for any thief , no matter
liow daring , to attempt to break in a
liouse , the noiuo of which would be sure
to awaken the whole neighborhood. But
the burglar who vi&itert Mr. Roach's
bou&e hadn't any scruples in this direc
tion. Ho wanted booty ami didn't
care if ho did make a little noise
In securing it. Ho tackled tlio back
window of Mr. Roich'a kitchen nnd the
shutter { jnvo vay.iendily to hit > jimmy ,
lie next Inokoa pane of { jhibaiind iiiised
Iho window-bash high enough , ho
thought , to ciiiwl thiough , but when
the attempt was made the burglar was
stuck. Iho heavy Hash came down on
his bauk nnd the thief v\aa bqueezed
tight. Ills head hun r down on
the kitchen floorand his legs ,
vvero dangling outside the window.
Mr. Kiuch , who was bleeping
soundly up-stairs , hoard the noise ,
and , lighting a c uullo , came down to In
vestigate. Spjing the dangling burglar
in the window , ho wild : "AhInn ! a
burglar has come to bco me , oh ? " Air.
Roidi covered the Htrnngor's foiin with
his c.indlolight nnd imulu an etlort to
look Into the chief's faeo , but the liitlor
kept hin face dead on the lloor , and Mr.
Roach WIIH unable to recognUo him.
Than , pulling n chair ov or to the window ,
Mr. Roach Huatod hinibulf.
' , Novv , my dear mail , " lie went on to
say , "don't you know jour conduct is
wicked ? If you kcop it up it will suiely
land you In jail. Iain opposed , to send

guobsl will allow you to remain In your
preheat position for mvhilo. If in the
meantime you promise mo to reform , t
will lift the window sash and allow jou
to depart in peace. "
A fuHlIndo of quostiotiH then follovvid.
Mr. Roach asked the man whan ho WIIH
horn , "In 18V. ) , " waa the reply. Mr.
Ranch put thu replied down In u book.
"Did you reeoivoreligious instiuotlona

"I did ; I was a inlnlstor'n eon.

" 1 tun umimo to got it , sir ; thousands

Mr. Roach made tlio buiglur do penance -
