At the First Presbyterian church last even
ing the pastor , Ilev. J. M. Patterson , lee
lured upon the subject of "Young People fo
Law. " Ills text was taken from Titus , 3:13 :
"Hrlng Ecnas , the lawyer. "
Air. Patterson first entered a defense foi
the profession. He said that from time lin
memorial the legal profession had been heli
In a certain degree of popular distrust. Hi
referred to a number of statements , ammii
thfin the epitaph written by Ur. Johnson , o
"God works wonders now and then ;
Here lies a lawyer , an honest man , "
In order to show that the profession of lav
had been held In distrust , nnd that this ills
trust has not wholly parsed away to thli
day.
day.Ho Kald : "I Imagine ibis popular dlstrus
arisen from various reasons. First am
. chiefly from thu fact that there are ! some
disreputable lawyers. Hut let the professloi
that in blameless cast the llrsl Htone ; Judge ;
by this standard any other profession wouli
haveto be condemned. Another reason ac
't counting for this condemnation Is thu faci
that people do not generally understand the
principles of Justice ; they forget that even f
rogue has certain rights and la entitled te
tlit ! defense * ot those rights , that a man maj
lie si good man and yet defend n bad mat
In his legal and moral rights. Ilctwccn the
two extremes of never pleading the. case ol
n bad man , and the saving of your client nl
nil hazards , there Is n golden rule that the
veriest villain on earth Is entitled to a fait
trial , The profession Is also condemned bs-
cause they make men right their wrongs
As long as lawyers arrest men In their course
of crime and bring them to Justice there wil
be a certain class of people who will nffecl
to despise the profession.
"lint while It Is true that there has seem
ingly been a popular distrust of the legal
profession , there has alco been a very popu
lar trust of them. There Is no class of men
HO thoroughly and universally trusted as
the lawyers. They are more trusted than
the banks or the safety deposit vaults , or
even the preachers. And the glory of the
profession Is that they seldom over betray
a trust , Furthermore we arc all more or
less dependent upon the lawyers. The aver
age citizen knows no more about law than
lie ; docs about medicine , and the lawyer Is
just ns great n necessity as the physician ,
for as human society becomes more compli
cated the services of the lawyer becomes
jnoro necessary. "
Mr. Patterson then spoke briefly of the
motives to entering the law , giving as the
prlmo motives Ihe opportunities for acquir
ing worldly wealth and of entering n wide-
open door of usefulness. "If n man wants
to live for the good he can du and has a
talent for the law ho can thcio find ample
opportunity for the exercise of his talents
for the benefit of his fellow men and the
plory of God. While Individual luwyeni
liavo betrayed the rights of the people , yet
the profession as such has always been , and
I believe always will be , the champion of
these rights. "
As to the qualifications of the lawyer the
-.speaker said that he must Ilrst be a man
of sterling principles , able to withstand
great temptations. "No other man has com
mitted to him without security buch vast
trusts as has the lawyer , and there is , too ,
no class of men of whom the majority of
. people : art'more'.snsplclous than the lawyers ,
integrity therefore , becomes an essential
- qualification for success In this profession.
[ i Every trust committed to the hands of a
lawyer should bo sacredly and scrupulously
/tared for. Hut I-would not have a lawyer
| violate Solomon's maxim-ot 'Be thou not
I * ' righteous overmuch. ' The lawyer who docs
.violate this maxim Is a rare b'lrd. Hut every
criminal Is entitled to an honest defense , and
every man ought to be considered Innocent
until proven guilty.
"The young person entering the legal pro
fession must be self-reliant. Archimedes
[ L tsald , 'Give me a standing place and I will
If move the wcrlel. ' Goethu said , 'Make good
| K thy standing plaeo nnd move the world. '
Goethe was right , nnd the man who succeeds
in the law must above all others prove his
right to a place. The law IK a profession
in which pre-eminently n man must be self-
reliant , and hence It Is that so many have
failed. The legal bent of mind is not nbuiii
clant. The lawyer must needs be u man ot
Hreat determination. The fond father who
nsked the advice of n noted lawyer as to
the advisability of having his son enter the
legal profession had put to him the real test
.Mlian the. question was asked , 'Can your bon
cat sawdust without butter ? '
"A lawyer must have pluck. There Is no
success in iiuy place without toll , and tlilh
Is pre-eminently true of the legal profes
sion. There never was-n heaven-born law
yer , but If the young man have some of the
pluck of Demosthenes he may have some ol
his success. Then , too , the study of tin
masters Is another condition ot MIC-
cess. If the observance of a work ol
art of on Inferior artist would damage the
talent of an artist how must the study of a
master aid and Improve !
"A candidate for the bar must also be
thorough ; concentration Is absolutely neces-
li , Bary , diligence Is fundamental and hearti
ly1 ness is absolutely essential. Tin.
I * ' legal profession holds out no In-
| ; ilucemcnts tor the slipshod man. If a man
depends Upon hla memory for his wit ami
upon his Imagination for his facts hu will
not be likely to get the verdict ,
"There Is no profession that needs the
grace ot God more than the legal profession ,
While many men seek the services of the
lawyer from right motives and In right
causes , others seek him In wrong motives
and In unjust causes. In a measure tin
Gctibo of Justice Is morn largely developed
in thu legal profession than In any othci
class of men , but ) the temptations arei sc
great that many men of eminent ubllltj
liavo gone down before them as the toul
goes clown before the storm. Christ ought
to bo the lawyer's best friend. No one ) ha >
bo exalted the law as has Jesus. No ono ha ;
entered such a defense ot justice as has He
lie died in order that God might bo JUKI , nm
yet the justlflcr of lost man. Let mu polni
you ono and all to Christ , the soul's ml
vacate. 'If any man sin ho has an advocate
with the Father , Jesus Christ , the righteous.
Though you may never find It necessary ti
enter n court on earth , you will not escape
thu high court of heaven. If you Imvo i
ruse on earth Involving n few dollars yoi
will not nttampt to defend it yourself , yoi
ulll seek the services of some compnteni
attorney. Will you risk the existence e ;
your Immortal soul ? Will you dare to ap
pear before the great judgment lur of Got
without having enlisted the services ot the
soul's great advocate ? He Is the very bos
advocate you could have , because ) of Ills levi
and because ot the plea He enters. Kvor
though conscience , the law , the holy scrip
turcs , the holy spirit , may enter their testl
many against you , declaring that your con
dcmnatlon Is just , yet the Great Advocate
\\I1I say that Ho has paid thu debt and then
is now therefore no condemnation tu tlios ,
Vlio ; ure In JCHUS Christ. "

The farewell address of Rev , J. M. Patter
sen , pastor of the First Presbyterian churcl
of this city , was delivered to the congrega
tlon yesterday morning. After the conclusloi
of the regular morning exercises Mr. Patter
eon said :
"Dearly Delayed In the Lord : Only abou
one year ago I came to this city to becnmi
your pallor , I now ask to bo released. '
came with the full Intention and the dee |
dctlro of ( pending many years and the bes
years of my life in giving yon the bes
f.e-rvlce ot which I was capable. Prior ti
cccptlng your call I had Insisted upot

If tikitntlal temporal conditions of success
1 rould not afford , either for my Master'i
Mko or for my own , to enter a field when

tlist I came to you It soon became appar
KOI , however , that became of the flimnciu
distress nileiiuato church facilities could no
be provided nt once ns you had promised
For thin no blame attached to the congregn
tlon. It was a great disappointment , botl
to people nnd pastor.
" \\'o have done the best we could undc
the clrcumntnncc.1 , A larger measure of MIC
CC8R has been enjoyed than I dared to hope
Meantime I cherished the hope , ns did man ]
othcrg , that this spring conditions In tin
business world would haveso changed tha
n new building could bo erected this season
You have decided otherwise. Not only this
yon have xald In mibstnnce that no tltm
could be fixed upon when you could under
take to provide the much needed churcl
building. Meantime a field has been provl
dentlnlly opened to me which lias complete
facilities for work , and before which Is nt
open door of usefulness. 1 have > felt It t <
be my duty , after careful and prayerful con
nldcratlon , to accept the call of the West
minster church of Detroit. An Impressloi
nrriiiH to prevail that considerations of per
sonal and temporal advantage Inlluenccd me
In thin decision. I feel compelled to tel
you the fnct , so that you may not do your
selves the Injustice of misjudging mo.
"I ma Ho a considerable financial pacrlflce
to accept n call to a fle-ld where 1 shall have
facllltlo.i for work. I would have been glai
to have made greater sacrifice to have se
cured a church building hero that wotile
have met the demands of this great field
Hut no amount of sacrifice I could make
would build a church hero. Doubtless I have
failed In m my things. Hut I have endeav
ored to do my duty , and the rest I leave
with Him 'whose I nm and whom I serve. '
"In existing circumstances 1 have no dnubl
as to "my duty. I have a deep convlctlor
that I can neither do justice to this churcl
or city , or Iny Master or myself , with the
very Inadequate facilities at hand. I there
fore ask you to convene on Wednesday oven nf
nt S.0,0 : o'clock to accept my resignation ns
pastor of this church and to unite1 with me
In a request to the presbytery of Omaha tc
glvo Its sanction to the dissolution of thk
relation.
"With a sincere1 prayer for heaven's blesslni ;
upon you , and with grateful acknowledgment
of all your kindnesses. "
Members of thu board of trustees , In
speaking of the matter yesterday , said that
the resignation would be > accepted , but with
regrctH and some reluctance- .
Since Mr. Patterson took the pastorate ol
the church the membership has been largely
Increased and every dollar of a $10,000 debt
has been provided for. Since the notice ol
Mr. Patterson's determination to rcslgif has
become public , many of the promlne-nt busi
ness men of the city , those who arc not
members of his church , have called upon
him , requesting that he remain. He treated
them kindly , but replied that the change
was for the best Interests of the life work
In which he had engaged.

Another clever robbery was porpelratoi
yesterday morning while the family of lr
Nichols , residing nt 1923Vlrt street , \vns n
church , nnd as n consequence the doctor I
out about $350 and the thlpf has so far PS
caped. The towns surrounding Omaha havi
Ijcen notlflcd of the robbery and the officer ;
told to keep n lookout for the man.
On May 2 Dr. Xlcliols had occasion to sal
at the residence of Dr. Paul , and while then
a young man applied at the kitchen door fo :
something to cat. He got It , and Dr. Nlcli
ols , as ho was going out , talked with bin
for a few moments. The fellow said hi
came to Omaha from St. Louts , where hi
had been employed at the nmchlnu shops
the doctor liked his appearance and Incl
dentally asked him If ho had ever takct
care of horses. The man replied that hi
had never nmdo a business of It , but though
that he could , at least he was very wlllliu
to try. The doctor needed n man unel toll
him ho would glvo him a chance.
Occasionally the man was asked to d (
some work Inside , such as washing the win
clews and little odd chores , 7nnd lie so favor
ably Impressed tha family that the member !
thought nothing of leaving him alone In tin
house , but so far as the family knew he hai
never been In any other rooms beyond the
kitchen and dining room.
Yesterday morning at 11 o'clock , while
the family was at church and the eloctot
was away on a call , the house was left open
The doors leading to every loom In the
house were wide open nnd there was not i
soul about the place except the hired man
The family had gone but a few moment ;
when the doctor returned and discovered
that he had been robbed. Careful Inquiry al
the residence of Mr. Lewis , who resides nexl
door , availed nothing , and then the though !
dawned upon the doctor to ask his man II
ho had seen anything suspicious about the
place. He went to the barn and found the
man was not there.
The doctor had In his cure several watches
and other Jewelry that belonged to other
parties. All the watches , six In number ,
were taken , and three of them were very val-
aublc , one being set In diamonds and two
of them solid gold. The three others were
filled cases.
A good description of the stuff has been
left with the police.
When Mrs. Dr. Nichols returned from
church she discovered that her gold spec
tacles , worth $12 , and her opera glasses ,
which were very valuable , were also miss
ing.
ing.The
The neatness with which everything was
dune Is puzzling , and the doctor Is now of
the opinion that he engaged a flrst-cla&s
thief.
The man gave his name as George Wil
liams , and he Is described as a bright ap
pearing fellow , fairly gooil looking , about
flvo foot eight or nine Inches In height ,
with a mustache of about two weeks' growth.
He wore a sack coat , striped pants and
a derby hat. His shirt was a woolen one of
some dark gray material and he wore no
necktie.
The doctor offers a reward of $50 for his
apprehension. All of the city detectives are
looking Into the case and have been at work
incessantly on It since thot robbery oc
curred. t
The police arc of the opinion that this
man Williams is not the only one In the
de'al , but that If. Is the work of an organ
ized gang. Within the past three or four
days there liuve been , Including the above ,
three Jewelry robberies. Last Thursday af
ternoon the residence of Contractor Corby ,
who resides near Dr. Nichols , was entered
and a pair of opera glasses , some rings anil
a very valuable gold watch taken. The thief
who has been about the neighborhood sev
eral times , got in by kicking In the cellar
door , and then entered the kitchen by cut
ting out n panel. He , too , did his work
nicely , and but for the fact that the panel
was cut It would have been dllllcult to tell
whether any one had been In the house or
not. Besides the watch and glasses , a cou
ple of pair of pants and $2 In money were
taken. Another robbery , which was not so
Important , was committed Saturday night ,
when the rooms of Mrs. M. Rager , CIS
South Sixteenth street , were entered and
her Jewel case taken. The only articles In
the case were a couple of rings of the value
of $30. Here , too , no one would know
whether the place had been entered so fat
as disturbing the furniture In the house was
concerned.
It was reported that Paul Bucler , alias
"Herald , " a noted sneak thief and burglar ,
who Is wanted hero and In other cities for
burglary , was seen In the city Saturday ,
When seen he was In a baiber shop on Six
teenth street between Capitol avenue ami
Davenport streets , and along with him was
'seen John Whlttler , alias "Ooldtooth , " alias
"The Johnstown Kid , " who Is wanted In
Chicago , this city and other places for
burglary. About four years ago he was ar
rested In Chicago for burglary and as he
was being taken to the station with sl.x
policemen In the patrol wagon , he leaped
over the side and escaped. Ho was shortly
afterward arrested hero and as ho was beins
taken to his cell ho opened the wire ( loot
leading Into the corridor and escaped , and
this was the last tme ho was In the hands
of the police In this city.
Yesterday afternoon Olllcer Jackman ar
rested a man who gave the name of Frank
Palmer. Ho was caught In a vacant house
In Kountze addition , near the residence ol
Dr. Nichols.
Mr. Corby , who was robbed Thursday
night , thinks Dr. Nichols' "hired man Is the
ono who entered his place and Is also as
sisting the search for him.
Of late Kountze Place has been allvo with
men asking for something to eat , and moat
of them have been well dressed. It la
now thought they take this method to learn
the lay of the land.
Saturday night thieves made a raid on
the pantryc and Ice boxes of the people liv
ing In the Hats at the corner of.Twenty -
fourth and Douglas , nnd HI a consequence
several families had to go without their
Sunday dinners , being unable to procure ? a
new supply of provender , as the stores were
closed. ThPho thloves only seem to be after
food , but it will be dangerous for them to
make another attempt , as the Irate house
wives say that they will put poison Into
some of the things which they put Into their
Ice boxes. Friday night the Mcrriam hotel
on the corner of Twenty-fifth and Dodge
streets was raided In the same manner , and
on Thursday night a family had Its larder
looted at Twenty-fourth and Harnoy streets ,
Mabel Smith , residing near Twenty-becond
and Douglas streets , also lost n valuable
pair of opera glasses. The police protection
in that neighborhood Is said to bo very In-
elllclent , and the resident * are talking ol
asking the mayor , who lives In the snjno vi
cinity , to use lilH Influence to ( secure ! the
appointment of an officer to patrol Douglas

' MAKING ANINVESTIGATION.
An Import Looking for tlm CmiAU of llcccnl
UuifRo Flrt'B.
It has been Mourned on good authorlt )
that the Insurance companies of this clh
have secured the services of Russell Hobb
an electrical expert from Boston , to examine
Into tha electrical tflrlng and arrangement !
of all the business houses here. The cxpcrl
has arrived and has been at work for seV'
oral days. Ho Is stopping nt the Pflxtor
and It may take him uevcral weeks to conv
pletc the examination. As far as he hat
bscti able to ascertain , the wiring In man )
buildings has been done In an Incompoteni
manner , thus causing great danger ol
expensive ( Ires from this source.
Mr. Hobb Is employed by the Insurance
men , and when lie reports unfavorably an
the wiring of n business house the proprletoi
Is at once notlllcd and told to Immediate ! )
repair the defects or his ( Ire Insurance pol
icies will be cancelled. The Insurance com
panies will also urge that a city electrician
bo appointed as soon as possible , KO that hi
may go over the city with Kxpcrt Hobb and
thoroughly comprehend the situation , and al
the same time secure some valuable pointer *
regarding such work. This step was made
necessary by the Insurancs companies In
order to protect themselves from n repetition
of the recent heavy losses which have been
sustained by allrgcd reason of defective wir
ing for lighting business establishments ,
Otherwise they claim that tlioy would be
compelled to raise the Insurance rates tc
an enormous percentage. After Mr. Hobl :
completes his work he will make a report
to the Kical insurance beard , but whether ot
not It will be made public cannot bt
learned.
The delay In the appointing of a cltj
electrician has caused the Insurance men
some uneasiness , as wires are being put In
all the time and no extra precautions arc
being taken to guard against disastrous *
fires from exposed or poorly connected
wires. The Insurance agents believe that
the Shlverlck , Karnam Street theater , Bos
ton store , and Exposition annex fires all
originated from defective electric wiring ,
and think that the delay In the appointment
of a city electrician Is Jeopardizing their
Interests to a considerable extent.
Kxpert Hobb comes here highly recom
mended and ho Is the electrician who dis
covered the clectrosls of the water pipes
In Now York City and was able to dis
cover the cause of the collapse of the stand
pipe In Peoria some time ago , which re
sulted In the loss of life. lie Is yet a young
man , but has made a thorough study of
electricity scientifically and practically. He
claims that much of the wiring In cities
Is done Imperfectly , making considerable
danger from fire at nil times.
The marvelous succ5ss of Hood's Sarsa-
parllln is based upon the corner stone of
absolute merit. Take Hood's throughout the
spring months.
