Twcnty-flvo jcnrs Is not n great span In
the life of an Individual or of nn Institution
In the older communities silver Jubilees nro
so common that thoj attract but trilling at
tention Hojond the Missouri they aio his
tory-rev iv Ing epochs Nebraska has scaiccly
closed the twenty-sixth je ir of its history as
tl state ' 1 lie settlement of w hat now consti
tutes n strong , progressive commonwealth
docs not touch half n ccnturj , while tlio
earliest iccords of Omaha's foundation do
not exceed forty jears Yet that compara
tively brief period comprehends the trans
formation of the western wilderness Into
states , dotted with populous , energetic com
munities , and the development of natural re
sources unsurpassed iuvnriutv and extent. It
may be trulj said that n qti irter-cciiturj cm-
braces the epoch-making periods of the vast
empire stretching from the Missouri river to
the Sierra Novadas
What was Omaha twenty flvo years ago ?
What of the entire state ? A quarter-century
ngo Omaha had n scant 10,000 population ,
the state 70,000 , nnd the entire intermountain -
mountain region less than half a million
peonlo. The number has since multiplied
tcnfold.i half n doen states have been cre
ated and thriving cities built. In 1807 No-
uraska had only flvo cities with a population
exceeding 1,000 Today Omaha alone has
nearly double the population of the cntiro
state twenty-live jears ago A quarter-
century ago the old capltol occupied the
site of the present High school It was the
western outpost of habitation within the
city limits Noi tli. south and west the eye
ranged over a stictch of rolling country ,
with few homes to bicak tlio monotony of
hill and -valloj nttceiith street was the
real western business limit of tno city Tlio
homes of opulent icsidents dotted tlie hill
side east of the capltol , but the bulk of tlio
population clustered east of Fifteenth to the
i iv cr and south of Douglas This region was
the heart of the town up to the ' 70s
It is generally conceded that the business
demoralization occasioned bj the civil war
ended with 1800 Thocitj's second growth
then began Iho stimulus of railroad
building made things hum in Omaha , and
during 1SI > 7 tlio iccordb show n marvelous
growth of building enterprise l'i the then
narrow limits of tlio city In fact , the bulk
of impiovements was in the distuct
bounded by Douglas , Fifteenth and
Pierce streets At that time and for jears
later no ono dreamt that the tiend of tiusi-
ncss would he westward Ho who asserted
tlmt tralllc would climb tlio hill west of Tif-
tcctith sticotwas icgaidcd as a lit subject
for the asylum.
Iho Locution.
This sentiment explains what seems poor
judgment to late comers the location of the
cathedral on Ninth and Ilarney streets
When the stiucturo was piojected in the
winter of lb ( > 0-7 , the locality was tlio most
desirable Iu the city. It wns not only near
the center of business , but was suirounded
by the prominent hotels of town. The
Hcindon t.t Ninth nnd Tarnam , now the
Union Pucilio headquirteis. had been reno
vated and reopened and was the hostlerj-
thomotiopolis. Diiectlj' east across Ninth
street the Cohens house was projected.
Near by was the Lliuloll , then a prominent
resort. On till sides were evidence that the
location wns then destined to icmain tlio
cote of Omaha life and activity. So much
for human foresight.
The inception of the cathedral and the
names of many active in furthering the
project are lost lorovcr in the fog of memory
St. Marv's churchon , the crest of the Eighth
street hill , had long since ceased to accom
modate the congregation , and additions to it
vvero out , of question. A larger structure
wns Imperatively necessary The matter of
n now building was evidently determined in
thonfthmativo In 1800. In tlio fall of that
your Bishop O'Gorman commissioned Hov
William Kelly as financial missionary. Ho
visited New York , 13altlmoto and other east
ern cities , and returned in tlio spiing of Ib07
with $15,000 or moro. With thissum , together
with the contrloutions of the congregation ,
the w ork of consti uctlon began. The corner
stone was laid Juno 2 , 1807. According to
the Ileiald of that poiiod , "A huge concourse -
course of people witnessed the Interesting
ccromonj' . Theiu weio persons present fiom
every Chiistian sect in tlio citv. and many
from Council Dluff's , Ucllovuc , Florence , anil
jill surrounding precincts , 2,500 all told. Thu
afternoon was clear , warm and brilliant ns
If God nnd nature contributed libcially to
render more gorgeous the ceremonies of the
day. Tlio mud bad dried up. " Thoceieino-
nies vvcio conducted bj' Uishop O'Gounan ,
assisted by Hov s. Kgati and Hi.izill , the lat
ter delivering the addtcss on the occasion
In the stone weio placed coins of the jear ,
copies of church iceoids , list of ucnefactois ,
copies of papeis of the daj , relics , missal , etc.
The Dinlloiltlon.
llio work of construction was pushed vvitli
considerable energy and thubuildliig was In
closed before winter set in. Harly in rob
ruarj' , IbtW , Hov. Kgan , the pastor , who vvn
most active in the work , was sent elsewhere
nnd Hov John Curtis ice-ailed from Sioux
City. To him was given the honor of His

times as jou inny have witnessed It , there is
a llttlo drama alvvajs performed ns thegre.it
ocean stcnmcis leave the poitof New York ,
which brimrs the mist to jour landward
looking cjcs.
If jou are n "llrst tripper" it will thrill
jou deeper still. You have perhaps won-
dcrcd what that bionzcd-fucctl man in citi
zens clothing was doing up there among the
bespangled ofileers upon the biidgo lie
seems tlio quietest fellow on board His cjcs
are singling out the row of channel buiijs ,
or with a glass rapidlj scanning the lower
Jcisoy shoics and the gleaming lines of the
Long Island sands , or again glancing nt this
or tli.it along the sea horlron His Is
an anxious face 1 ho lines in it uiuonsclouslj

thing lost , or of great danger that there tiny
be I have seen men like him stand where
ho is with thatsamo look nnd the peispiia-
tion dropping from their faces In stieams in
the coldest of weather
This man Is not the ship's captain , but
while lie stands ttiere now and then giving
a low toned older , lie is absolutely the com
mander of the ship. He is a Now York pilot ,
detailed from the lower Wall street pilot
oftlco to take jour ship to sea In ordinary
cases his fee would be based upon the ship's
tonnage. With the larger ocean steamships
a "lumped" price Is made Ho must remain
nboird until Sand.v Hook is pissed , and ns
much fnither out ns the steamer captain
desires
If it bo pleasant weather when jou nto
abreast of Samlj Hook , jou will notice a row
boat , jawl built , manned by two men. put
ting out from the lightship anchored be
tween v our steamer and the Hook This
lightship is simply a New York haibor pilot
boat , bj pilot regulations made to do her
"tuin"of a "month's stand" In this unsavotj ,
though often exciting , berth Her crew nio
pilots apprentices getting their tlist lessons
nnd experience nt pilot duties and hatdships.
The boat being rowed brislflj toward \otir
steamer in tlio channel is called n "pilot's
punt , " and the two oarsmen me knottilj
built'prentice lads of Ibor'JOvcars of ago
At the same moment the punt heads for tlio
steamer , the latter's engines slow down
' 1 lie punt and the steamer meet nt the point
of an exact right angle Lines are cast , the
punt made fast to llont alongside the ship's
port side ; and the rope laddci is lowered
Meantime the pilot has icsigncd his post
on the bridge Thochief olllcer immediate- ] ,
place Stepping to the cli.it t room the pilot
ccrtillcs in the log book that the ship has
duly cleared the pelt of Ninv Yoik ; the
ship's commander certifies to the pilot's feet
which pilotage is paid bj the New Yoik
agents of thi line ; and in a moment nioio
the pilot is "dropped" into the waiting pun '
Iijtiio ship's rail stands the purser , or the
mail stow aid A thousand addenda good-
bjeshavo been hastily wiitten sealed and
stamped , nnd hundreds of telegrams Indited ,
between the docks and the Hook These ,
the last slender thicnds between land and
homo and the unalterable llnalitj- jour
voj ago , are let dow n bj- line to the pilot , w ho
tikes them with unconscious tenderness
in his aims
In anoihci instant the ship's engines nro
again thundering The pilot's punt shoots
stiaight for the lightship ThooflUcr on tlio
bridge nods to the boitswiun , whoso shrill
whistle "strikes the flags" Ihou.iitei -
