The people of Nebraska nro doing nouV.V in
this direction , and Oiiuilm , itlthough not so
fortunatu In that respect ns conld have been
desired. Is securing a share of thcso Institu
tions of learnlni ; that will In future yenrs be-
cotno the pi'ldo and glory of our common
wealth. Nothing but tbo general apathy of
the pcoplo In tills direction will prevent
Omaha from securing n very liberal simro of
tbo Institutions of learning that are to bo
established In the west , and nothing could bn
moro thoroughly regretted by the pcoplo of
Omaha than their failure to secure thcso In
stltutions ,
Denver and Lincoln have already roado
great strides In tlio educational line. Several
colleges and universities will undoubtedly , In
the near futuro.glvo these cities n prominence
nnd prestlpo that will bo of Inralculnblobcne-
/It / to them m many ways. The citizens ol
Omaha tire beginning to awaken to the truth
of thcso tilings and the liberal encourage
ment that/ has been manifested recently on
'
tho'part of Or. George L. Miller nnd others
augurs well for the educational Interests ot
Omaha.
The uny Is past and gene In this country
when a college will prosper best in n small
country town , far removed frctn a city. The
clvlli/iation of the present day demands that
the rising ccncrut " Ion bo kept In close sym
pathy with" the treat , throbbing commercial
ticart of tlii nation , nnd for this reason the
student should necessarily pursue his college
course where ho can occasionally look away
from his quiet study nnd his booics nnd cntch
n comprehensive vlaw of thu busy , bustling
world of which bo Intends , when
ho has finished his course In
school , to become an energetic part.
Omnha , therefore , presents exceptional
advantages for the location of Institutions of
learr.linr , nnd It Is reasonably certain that be
fore the close of anothoj decade half n dozen
splendid college buildings will grnco the
beautiful suburban sites about the city.
It Is encouraging to know that the schools
that have been planted in Omaha nro doing
well nnd those who have borne the burden In
the heat of the day now begin to feel the In
spiration of substantial help from other
bands.
Among the Institutions of which the citi
zens of Omaha will In the future be proud , Is
llcllcvuu college. There have been some
dark days in the history of Bellcvuo , but its
chief supporters in the Prcsb./tcriun church
hiivo excellent reason to bcllovo that "tho
morning light Is breaking , " in fact , the
day is upon thorn , if tho.v
will only throw open the shutters and
lot It in. The Institution has moro students
In attendance now than over before and If
boarding accommodations could bo furnished
tbora might bo many more enrolled. It Is
absolutely necessary , therefore , that now
buildings bo erected and just at tnls opportune
moment comes a proposition from some
eastern parties who have plenty of means to
join with Omaha supporters of the tichool
aud build a line laree dormitory near the
college building. In all probability this en
terprise will bo carried to completion this
summer nnd Bellevue will open next fall with
better und moro ample facilities than ever
before.
Browncll hall , under the protecting core of
the Episcopal church , is ono of the bst
known schools for young ladles In tbo west.
This Institution has been remnr'.inbly suc
cessful during the past year , considering the
hard times which hnvo prevailed over a
largo part of the territory from which the
school draws its patronage. In some de
partments the school is crowded and general
prosperity has marked the work of the year.
The now theological seminary recently or
ganized promises to open the coming fall xvl'h
n good fiized class and will undoubtedly have
o substantial and rapid growth. Tho'direct-
ors mot Tuesday In the First Presbyterian
church nnd elected three moro members of
the faculty.
Uov. Dr. Mcado C. Williams , of Princeton ,
Illinois , a gentleman of ripe scholarship , no-
bio character and abundant means , was
elected to 1111 the chair of Now Testament
Exegesis. Kev. C. J. Sterling was chosen
professor of Ilobrow nnd llov. Dr. Sexton
was elected ns missionary lecturer for the
coming year.
Croighton college is growing rapidly. At
present there nro 180 students , and thn work
being done in all the classes Is said to bo very
satisfactory. There will bo five graduates
this year , und the futuroof the college never
looked so bright as at present ,
The Sacred Heart academy Is also very
prosperous , and the work of educating the
youug ladles Is moving on splendidly.
A tJowlNli PcHiivnl ,
Every blblo student , almost every school
boy , is familiar with the wonderful story of
Exodus found in the blblo. One of the prom
inent features of the great exodus of Israel
ites from Egypt was the Passover , aud the
feast that the Jewish
pcoplo have held mi mi
ni ly over slnco in commemoration of that
great event has become ono of the most not
able Institutions of human history.
Last Thursday the Jewish pcopl'o celebrated
the feast of tho.passovor In tbo synagogue on
Harnoy strcotand tboodltlca was'crowded by
the devout representatives of ancient Israel.
Dr. Hoscnau , the rabbi , delivered n very
able address and it was Interesting to note
ttmt ho indorsed the advanced idea that
Moses was not the originator of this great
feast , nor was the fact of the passover the
origin of the festival , but It was a very an-
clont custom among the Hindoos , Egyptians ,
Persians and othernndcnttrlbesto celebrate
the arrival of spring by offering sacrifices
nnd indulging in otnor modes of
expressing Jov nt the breaking up
of winter. Dr. lioseuau hold that
Moses gave to this festival nn additional
sanctity and a broader , moro rational nnd
more comprehensive meaning and trans
formed it into a festival of emancipation in
which the worshipping of the goddess of
spring was completely replaced by the more
vital consideration of the liberation of the
Israelites from Egyptian bondage.
Dr. Itosonau then followed the contra !
thought still farther and said that the work
of Moes had not boon completed. There
wore still pcoplo in bondage. The poor , tbo
ignorant , the sick and distressed were still
lu bondage nnd it was the duty of all who
could to assist in tbo emancipation of the un
fortunate by liberality , charity und deeds of
love.
It is the custom of the Jewish church
now to celebrate the first and
seventh Java ot the turnover week
instead of holding the festival the entire
. seven days , as In ancient times. Next Tues
day will bo the last day of the passover week
and there will bo services at tbo church on
Harnoy street on Tuesday evening nt 8
o'clock nnd also on Wednesday inorrtlng nt 10
'
o'clock. Dr , Hoscimu will deliver nn appro
priate address nt each meeting. During the
week tbo festival has been observed by ap
propriate religious worship In the homes of
the Jewish people nil over tbo world.

The young pcoplo of the Castcllar street

entertainment tit a ball In tbdurlcn block
south of tbo church last Friday evening.
At the meeting of the directors of the
Presbyterian theological seminary last Tues
day tbo remaining chairs of the faculty were

ble meeting at the Trinity church- which
Mr. J. B. Shean road a paper
upon testing the gospel by legal
evidence. The meeting was largely attended ,
notwithstanding tbo very disagreeable
weather.
The action of the Omaha presbytery In re
porting adversely upon the overture from the
general assembly with regard to the estab
lishment of the order of deaconesses should
not bo misunderstood. Unmaking of the mat
ter to a reporter for Tin : llii : : ono of the lead
ing Presbyterian pastors said : "Tho Presby
terian ministers of Nebraska are not opposed
to the granting of authority to women of the
church to do certain work and fill cortaln
ofllccs , but tho.v nro not In favor of bestowing
upon women of the church a meaningless
title. The ofllco of deacon of the Presbyterian
church has bccomonlmostnnoncnity. There is
scarcely anything for a deacon to do and if
the order of deaconesses should bo made a
co-ordlrmtu branch of tbo church with that of
the deacons as proposed by the overture from
the general nssemblys tno deaconesses would
simply have nothing to do. They would hnvo
an empty title and nothing more. When the
general assembly propose something definite
and practicable for the deaconesses to do
then wo shall favor the establishment of the
order. "

Correspondence of TUB Uni : . ] It would bo
hard to conceive a moro effective proem to
what Kipling calls the "Fairy tale of Oallfor-
fornla , " than the immense desert that guards
Its frontier.
Tbo memory of verdure faints In that awful
expanse of gray sand shifting sullenly under
the brazen sky.
The mountains nro heaps of bare disinte
grating rocks.
Mlle after milo the alkali spreads Its ugly
leprosy. Extinct volcanoes rear their craters
above the plain , surrounded by seas of
seamed nnd corrugated lava.
The whole country appears to break out
with prickly beat.
incro are cactuses iruin luu aizu ui u tuna
ble to that of a trno.
Everything Is pointed or splkod or thorny.
Even n pray leaved , wooly plant ns soft and
lovely as the cdchvciss , covora its stem with
a bristly growth.
In contrast with this desolate waste , the
land of the orange and the vine strikes ono
like n fresh creation where everything is
good. It may without Irreverence bo called
a human creation , for the earth
lay In n gray swoon until the
prince came , throw water in her face , and
woku her dormant life nnd bonoty.
There is marvelous vitality in this sandy ,
ashen-looking soil. Plants nourished from
It nro tireless in activity. Roses bloom pro
fusely tbo year round nnd orange trees cover
themselves with blossoms for the next crop
before the last Is gathered , and live , always
attending strictly to business , to a green old
ago , whoso extreme limit no man knows us
yet. Specimens over n hundred years old
Elan ted by the mission fathers arc still in
carlucr.
To stranger-eyes thcso satin-leaved waxen-
blossomed trees , with their loads of vivid
spheres , have a curiously artificial look ns of
Christmas trees with tbo fruit tied on.
I am assured that the crop may bo safely
left unpicked for nearly u year , so that
growers can wait for a good market , nnd bo
at no expense for storage.
There Is a short time which may be styled
the tree's period of hibernation , when the
fruit becomes chaffy , but after the normal
How of sap Is restored it regains its Juice
and plumpness.

resent prices will not from ? 500 to $700.
. 'hero nro exceptional yields much larger
bun this.
At old "San Bernardino where nro older
rchards than those on which this estimate is
lascd , the owner of an ncro of sixtcen-
cur-old trees this season sold Uis crop
! or ? l,700. When ho ilrst bought
his land ho had ready enough trees
.o stock ten acres , but his neighbors , In sheer
illy of bis Infatuation , bcirged him to do no
uch foolish thing. "Whoro will you soil so
many oranges , oven if they growl" sold they.
Their logic prevailed , and the farmer threw
away nil his trees except enough to plant one
acre , which ho decided to risk on the experi
ment. It is from this aero ho has since re-
: eivcd such surprising returns. The sons of
, hose prophets nro not yet all doad. You will
till hear their voices raised against ovcr-
iroductlon.
But so long as the consumption of orances
ncrcasos ut Its present marvelous rate , grovv-
rs have nothing to fear save that they may
lot bo able to supply the demand. This In
crease Is duo not alone , nor oven chiolly , to
.ncreaso In population , but to a growing taste
[ or tbe fruit a taste verging upon a need
where its medicinal value is clearly recog
nized.
In thousands of households , where it form-
irly appeared on festival occasions , It now
-orms part of the daily breakfast , Quito
poung people can remember when oranges
ivoronot oven on sale in the smaller towns
ir villages , and ono was almost a curiosity in
country neighborhood ? .
The great demand may bo inferred from the
'act that oranges bring as good prices at re-
, ail bore as in Chicago or Omaha the ship
ping merchants buying them up so closely
.hat the homo supply is kept short.
Nothing responds moro generously to good
Tcattncnt than the orange , and nothing is
moro sensitive to neglect , as the many sickly
and dying groves in and about Los Angeles
attest. These groves uro probably on "boom"
lots , having non-rosidont owners. With
proper care tho.v would pay the taxes , pave
the streets and yield an income beside. It is
really a wonder that good orchards can bo
bought at all.
Few ajivanccs in real estate would justify
a man in giving up such a yeatly Income as
that of the San Bernardino growermentionod ,
or that of another man in the sumo com
munity who sold tbo product from two acres
of seven-year-old trees for Sl.feCO. In both
thcso Instances the cultivation given was of
course of the highest order.
Oranges nru boucht upon the trees by the
dealers , who take all risk in their shipment
and sale and still inako largo prolits. . It was
formerly tbo custom to pay so much for the
entire crop , but it is now almost universal to
buy Dy the box.
In every ornngo-growiDg neighborhood you
will find several buyers , each hav
ing bis boxing aud shipping house.
Ono of tbeso wo visited yesterday
and admired tbo ingenious simplicity ot thu
sorting machine n wide hopper consisting
of two channels upon nn inclined plane , hav
ing four long poles or rollers. The spaces
between those rollers gradually widened to
ward the bottom of the shoot. At regular
Intervals pockets of sacking , open nt either
end , were fastened cross-wise underneath
tbo poles. A stolid Chinaman poured the
oranges into tbo tiotipcrof the machine , an-
otbor worked a treadle that caused the two
outer poles to revolve. It was fascinating to
watch tbo long lines of yellow balls ono be
tween each pair of rollers.
Now and then an orange would hesitate ,
stop , until n nudge from the revolving polo
or from u more active companion , or in ex
treme sulks u poke from the Chinaman , scut
it on again. Its support became moro aud
moro precarious , by reason of the increasing
divergence of tbo polo , until it plumped
into the proper pocket and along
Into the box prepared for Its size. Only the
very largo oranges ran the entire gauntlet ,
wiicro at the end tnoy lay In unsortublo
greatness alike only in all being of a size ex
ceeding that of the last pocket.
A variety of pretty parables might bo de
rived from this sorting machine.
It costs about $50 to cultivate and irrigate
an acre of oranges properly. At n place of
thirty acrust the owner told us that tbo city
water to flood his orchard cost $ . " > a day and
that ha used it about three tlmos in u season.
Ho may not have used enough water , for
his trees were not in the best condition.
Howovor. after ono picking the fruit in many
places still bung almost close cnouph to
touch. Ho haa contracted to sell his entire
crop nt 70 cents per box prematurely , ns i
turns out , for oranges now bring $1.20 to
tl.'M per box. Ho was more inclined
to take his mistake philosophically ,
because ho has a variety of other fruits
whoso marketable possibilities ho can dream
over apples , pears , nectarines , apricots
lemons , English walnuts , almonds , lifts
s'.rnwDcrrics und blackberries , beside sovuru !
beds of alfalfa.

Women DeU'iintes Not Wanted.
Tlio Methodist conference nt YonUcrs has
decided by the very emphatic vote of 180 teX
( X ) that women should not bo admitted us
dclogates to the eoiieral conference , sayj
Harper's Weeltly. Tlta report of the debate
does not show that the question was discuss
ed or decided upon its picrlts. When it is said
that it does not follow ibecauso a woman can
sing bass that she ought losing bass.it would
seem to bo a sufllei < 5nt reply to suggest that
if a bass were needed to complete a quartet
it would bo rather absurd to reject a bass
volco becnuso it was the voice of a woman.
* * * The decisive consideration in the
debate seems to have been that there was n
divine reason.for the differences of soxes.and
that participation in n/uonfcrcnco was not in
cluded in the sphere of women. But how
the male sex , ns such\ Qualified tuoso who be
long to it-ns wise counsellors was not stated
in any speech nor illustrated in' ' "tho argu
ment. There is always a better way of'de
termining whether .wooij will float and stone
sink than any argument based upon a
theory. The better way Is oxpcrimcnt. The
counsel of women in schools is proved to beef
of very great value. The opinion of a man
who thinks that the counsel was not meant
to bo taken Is tiot un argument against the
fact.

Flossie's grandmother was a nice old lady ,
but she was very dlftlcult to cot along with ,
and this was particularly true during her
last illness , and the child came in for her
share of it. Ono day , shortly after the old
lady's death , Flossie's mother observed that
she was very thouehtful , says the Washing
ton Post.
"What are you thinking about , Flossie ! "
"I was just wondering , " she replied , with
crcat seriousness , "how grandma and God
nro getting along together. "
It isn't the usual way
it's just thtfjVoverHO to pay ; a
patient when you can't euro him.
Nevertheless , thal's what's done by
the propriotors-of Dr. Sage's Ca
tarrh Rcincdyl'oj They promise to
pay you 85001 they can't euro
your catarrh , no matter how bad
the case. It "Isn't incro talk it's
business. * You"ijan satisfy yourself
of it , if you'ro interested. And you
ought to be , if yon have catarrh.
It's faith in their medicine that's
behind the offer. It has cured
thousands of the worst cases , where
everything else failed. Yon can bo
cured , too. If yon can't , yon get
the money. They're ' willing to take
the risk yon ought to bo glad to
take the medicine.
It's the cheapest medicine yon
can buyj because it's f/itarantcea to
give satisfaction , or your money ia
returned.
Yon only pay for the ( jood you
got. Can you ask moro ?
That's the peculiar plan all Dr.
