Dr. Uuryca , pastor of the l'ir t
atlonal church , said"Tho hl&vorv st the
opening ot tbo Indian territory rooals a
tntcof things that is n disgracn lo clviliza-
Ion. The Oklahoma affair was barbarous ,
Y7
Tuo only proper wav to opou these lands
would bo to permit none but these furnlsn
ing absolute proof th it they had it legal right
to avail themselves of the prlvllogoi thus af
forded to have a share In the distribution
nnd then distribute the lands by lot.
"Thcro Is no clement of gambling In this at
nil. The gambler risks money In order to
got gain. If ho gains nothing ho loses what
ho risked. Iu this instance no ono could
IOBO anything These who might take part
in the drawing would have nothing nt stake
They would have everything to gain nnd
nothing to lose. The Ideal process would bo
to place ovciy man where ho could make tno
best use of land for his own uonollt and ,
therefore , Indirectly for tha bonollt of
society , but a commission could not do this
without vns.t labor consuming an immense
amount of time and no eommislon wuula bo
trusted to do it througli frar of favoritism.
"If the plan of opening Ihcso lands by appli
cations modi ) through the malls tvcro adopted
then the question of deciding the order of
prio.ity would trouble tlio commission.
Knongh applications might bo received in a
single week to exhaust the entire tract of
land nud then bow should tno ofllclnb having
the matter in hand decide which should coma
11 rat und which last ! The clement of chiinco
Is In it in spite of all that can bo dono. Tlio
land * might bo sold at auction , but this
would probably prevent some poor men from
trotting homes. The land is Intended for
licoplo who nro not able to buy , but I
bopo that the plan adopted nt the
opening of Oklahoma will not Uo foilowoJ in
this instance , forit will doubtless result in an
other disgraceful .scramble of mill inlsm nnd
brutal force. Some moro rational and busi-
nessllko plan should bo adopted , nnd 1
think that suggested by Hishop Newman is n
irood one. "
No Ilikriu In It.
Bishop Scanncll of the Catholic church
bad but little to say upon tha question , bo
causa ho said bo had not given the matter
ntiy thought. " 1 sea nothing morally wrong
In the suggestion , " tbo bishop remarked ,
"but I have nothing to offer with reference
to the matter , because It Is something that I
know scarcely anything about , having givou
-it no thought until this moment. "
Thoroughly Illlilleiil.
Uov. T. J. Mackay , rector of All Saints'
Episcopal church , sala :
"I had not noticed Bishop Newman's Int'or-
Vlqw In Tin : I3ir. : because I am usually so
busy on Sunday that I have no time to look
ever the newspapers. Hut now that I have
read of his schcmo for tlio opening of the
Chorokco stiip by lot I am frco to say that I
think It thoroughly scriptural and absolutely
free from the element of gambling.
"If Bishop Newman's plan : s gambling then
the distribution of the land of Canaan among
the children of Israel was gambling. Let
mo refer you to the eighth chapter of
Joshua , " said Uov. Mackiy , inking up his
Inulo and reading the following : 'And
Joshua said unto the children of
Israel. How long are yo slack to go to pos
sess the land which the Lord ( Jed of your
fathers hath given youi Glvo out from
among yoo thrco mon for each tribe , and I
xvlll send them and they shall rise and go
thiough the laud and describe it according
to tno Inheritance nf them , and they shall
coma again to mo. '
"And in the ninth verso it says : 'And the
mon went nud passed through tbo land and
described it by cities into seven parts in a
book and came attain to Joshua to the host at
MShlloh. And Joshua cast lots for thorn In
Shlloh before thu f.ord ; and there Joshua
divided tn. land unto the children of Israel
according to their divisions. ' And tbon It
k.goes on to describe the Inheritance
' ( that foil to each trloo by the casting of lots.
"It seems to me that there could bo noth
ing moro thoroughly scriptural or equitable
than Bishop Newman's plan so long as the
lands are to bo disposed ot In any manner
that Includes a chance. The hi blu is full of
such examples. Tha cities of rafugo were
chosen , by the casting of lots , and there are
many such Instance" . The subject is n very
Interesting ono. The disgraceful outlawry
that prevailed nt tbo lima Oklahoma was
opened should not bo permitted again , and I
see no reason why the plan 'suggested by
Bishop Newman or something similar should
( iot bo udoutcd. "
, Ur. Itoieimu I.llii's the Iilvn ,
said "I think Now-
Dr. Rosonau : Bishop -
tnun has suggested a magnlilcont plan to bo
followed in the distribution of these Cnerokoo
lands. I roinomber the Oklahoma affair very
distinctly. I jaw comments upon it in
foreign newspapers which indicated that the
poopln across the water thought wo were
about half civilized in this country when the
government would permit of such a barbar
ous proceeding. Thcro will bo other reserva
tions to bo opened and I think it wonld bo
- well for the government to maka a change In
tha manner of allotting these lands In Iteop-
Ing with the Intelligence and dignity of a
civlll'od people. There is nq element ot
gambling in tno plan suggested by Bishop
Newman , for these who would draw would
niako no Investment. "

At the nnnual inaotlng of the hoard
of trustcot of Imuuiiucl bo3plt.il last
Wodiiosdav , I was rofiuostoJ by the board to
[ lubllsh in tha Oni.iha pipJi'j sonia facts
about tlio work of this Institution durlnc It !
Itmyoar. 1'loaso lot mo thorofof ! roapjel-
fully submit the following :
Tholminanuolliojpltal has very succosi-
fully passed through the llrst year of its goad
worlc for poor suffering humanity. As the
hospital had Just bun coinilotod In IS'JJ ' , the
year IS'.ll dawnoa upon us with only
two patients In the ward , but wo
soon received moro. The total number
of patients tn Ib'Jl ' was 140. Ot
thojp , 111 have paid the regular
prlco , I" have boon partly paying and 13 have
been entirely free. Hut those free patients
have mostly been in the hospital a long time.
Of the 4,030 nuMiii ? days , moro that ono-
fourth , or I'JJ.J hiivo been free. Of nil the
11(5 ( patients bO were males anil 0(1 ( females ,
IU single , II married and ! ) widowed. With
reference to their nativity , 01 were Ameri
can , 10 Swoiiish , 120 D.inlsli , n Gorman , 4
Norwegian , U UnglUh , 1 ! Scotch , I Irish nnd
I Dohomlan. As to their church preference ,
SI were Lutheran , 'Jl Methodist , S Catholic ,
T I'lo hyiorian , I Il.iptist , i Congregational
1st , 4 Episcopalian , ; i Ctulstlan and 11 ultli-
otlt any pielcrcnco. As to residence , 7(1 ( eanio
from Omaha , 11 fiom South Omaha , 'M from
other Nebraska localities , IS from Town , I
from Connecticut nnd 1 from South
Dakota. The oldest patient was 74 years ,
the youngest 9 iconths ; average 1'J ! ' years.
As to the character of all the dilleiont c.isoa ,
S7 were modle.ll , fil surgical nnd 1 ophthal
mic , As to the result of treatment wo have
got tha following excellent showing : 7 ( >
cured , its improved , 10 unimproved , 9 died ,
and 111 icmalnlng in hospital at Now Year's. '
Forty-two surgical operations have been
performed.
Many of these operations were very difll
cult and Important , nud yet in most cases wo
got the very best result. The percentage of
our deaths Is 0 li. Comparing the results ob
tained in ton eastern hospitals , some of them
the best in the country , the average percent
age of death in these institutions Is (1.8. ( Our
percentage of death is therefore moro than
one-third less than any other hospital wo
know of. lint had wo adhered closely to the
rule of admitting only curable cases , our per
centage xvould nave been still less. Thrco of
those who died were in a boneless condition
when received , but were homeless or too low
to loturn homo. Of seventeen cases of ty
phoid lover every ono was cured.
This extraordinary success in the treat
ment and care of the sick can only bo ac
counted for by the skill of our surgeons and
physicians and the faithfulness of our sisters ,
combined with tha excellent locution and
ventilation of our hospital.
As to the tlnanciul part of our work I sim
ply stuto that $4,811. ll ! wore received in do
nations in 1S91. Prom paying patients wo
received $ 'lK.1f : ) ! > . The running expenses
for the year were & ) ,7Ub.Or > ; the balance was
paid for furnishing the institution and on the
old dobt. Ono gentleman of this citv , who
does not want his name mentioned , paid $ )50
for the endowment of ono free bed for last
year. May niany other good people see fit
to follow that example for this year ! With
the conviction that wo Have made a beginning
ningIn the best way for the relief of poor
sufTorlng humanity , and wltn good prospect
for the Immant'ol hospital to accomplish n
great deal in the future , Yours Kcsncct-

Onmlm ArtUt ,
Ono of the mo t popular bits over mndo by
tbo Young Men's ' Christian Association was
the Scotch cntortilnmout given last night.
The concert hall was completely lilled anil
ono could almost hear the strains of "Anld
Lang Syno" ringing down the "Banks and
Hraes O'Uonnlo Doon , " ai ttiospirit of tlio
audicnco began to imku Hsolt manifest iu
applauding tno different productions on tbo
program.
Mr. J. L. Kennedy presided , and the first
thing ho said when ho caino upon the plat
form was , "Wo want you nil to bo Scotch
tonight. Many of Ms were born In Scoll ind
nnd these of us who were not wish wo had
been. " Ho said that those national nights
nt the Young Men's Christian association
weru Inaugurated for the purpose of showing
that the institution was broad enough totako
in every nationality and every class of man ,
SutiJurH t'li-xrrly llmicllrit.
The llrst number of thu program was < i
solo "Far Awa Frao Uonulu Scotland , " by
Mrs. Leoso. The lady was recalled and song
"Coniln1 Through tuo Uyo'1 very cleverly.
Mr. Thomas Kllpatriclc then road an ud-
dress upon the "Sons of Scotland. " The
address was of n very interesting nature ana
hold the audicnco from first 'to last. Ho
spoki > of the early history of Scotland ,
which consisted chlullyof xvaraud bloodshed.
Tlion ho touched upon the uoruan period and
the r.clvent of the early Christian mission
aries , who really carried the rlrst Ilgntlnto
Scotland. Then cnmo William Wal
lace nnd King Robert Hruco ,
the llrst great patriotic heroes of
Scotland. Air. ICilpatrlck refctrod to the
fearful wars and desperate crimes that at
tended the formative period in Scottish na
tional life. Furthor.on ho spoKe of the union
of England and Scotland In 100.1 , ana the
Elizabethan age in English literature.
Ago of ( irriit Mi'ii.
During this famous ago , which produced a ,
Bacon , a Shakespeare and a Milton , Scotland
scorned to bo struggling with church oppres
sion. But a little lafjr Scotland produced
some of tbo greatest literary lights of the
world. The speaker then loforrod to
Sir Walter Scott and Hobcit Burns and
the audience applauded tutnultuously. Ho
also mentioned Adams. Smith , Diivkl Hume ,
Cullen , Black , John Hunt and others. He
spoke earnestly of the great ability of Dr.
Norman McL.cod , the great Kdlnburg
dlvino.
Dr. McLcod was the Henry Ward Becchor
of Scotland , Mr. ICilp.itrlck said , and after
paying him a glowing trlbuto ho road ono of
his humorous poems ontlUod , "Captain
Fra/or's Nose , " which seemed to touch the
risibilities of the audience very effectually.
And then cama the performance- that
moused the Scotch enthusiasm and hilarity
all over the house. Mr. D. Mackenzie
marched majestically upon the platform
rigged out In u. handsome Highland costume ,
playing a line silver-mounted bagpipe , which
ho carried as usual in his hands , ever ins
shoulder and under his arm.
Nutloiml 1'itilo Aroused.
Ho wore a rich and handsome kilt madeof
blacic plaid witu a aash of red In it that made
It very attractive. Ills nose were the genu
ine Scottish Highlander style , coming just
above the calves of the legs and leaving the
knees bare , and his foot were shod In the
Highlander shoes with handsome silver
buckles. The strains of music from the
bagpipes sent n thrill ot national pride
through every Scotch heart present , nnd the
solo was greeted with prolonged applause.
Then came the "Highland llini : , " dauccd
by Thomas Meldrnin and Frank II. C.intllo.
The t-ontlomon were handsomely dressed in
'
now'Highland costumes , their kilts being
ornamented with nu oRlcial equipment con
sisting of the sporron or pocket , which
hangs down in front and looks something
llko an old fashioned gun pouch , a hugo dirk
swinging to tbo bolt und the cairngorm , or
shoulder ornament , glittering under the
11 aunt Hie tassel of their jaunty caps.
The dancers were very agile and they ex
ecuted the somewhat difllcult Dedal gymnas
tics to the entire satisfaction of tbo audience.
The performance was applauded to the echo
nnd the performers graciously repeated the
dance. Mr. Mackenzie of course furnishes a
stirring tune on the bagpipes while the
dancers exhibited their dexterity and athletic -
tic skill In the management , and rapid move
ments of their lower limbs and feet.
Mr. Diftin sang acouplo of catchy Scotch
songs that were will received and the largo
audience went homo well pleased with
"Scotch night. "

Mr. and Mrs. John Wlnu are rejoicing that
their only child , who was glvon up as dying
with membraneous croup is now out of dan-
Ror. The cntiro throat was clogged uith
the deadly membrane , and the parents wara
informed that death was only a matter of a
few hours. The parents besged the physi
cians to use whatever methods they could to
bavo tbo child's life , no matter what risks
were run. The physicians therefore resorted
to tlio heroic method of cutting the child's
throat. Tno incision proved successful and
a silver tuba was Inserted throucti which the
child breathed until the mombranu was re-
moved. Last nijat the boy was pronounced
out of danger. _
