AFPEARAKCE CF EVL TO BE AVOIDED rrenclirr Give * Three Hnlcii of lilt Own ConilQct Tlio Unnifcr In Ortnln Pop ular.\niuiietiienU-Difference llo- tHfrn Uoillliicmi nml Monthly. Bishop Do-vman , who Is In the city holding the Swedish Methodist conference , preached yesterday morning In the Klrst Methodist church to a largo congregation. Ills sermon dealt with the blessedness and character of the good man. It was In substance as fol lows : "Tho psalrrm are highly poetical , but by that I do not mean thai they deviate from the strict Integrity of ( ruth. . In fact , the conception of truth which they contain Is highly beautiful. Their authors dranlt from the fountains of experience , and In these records they put down what they found. Eomo commentators have looked upon the paalnia as depleting the progress of a man In sin. They think that the character had become fully formed and was not In the process of formation. Vet In the text we find a climax In the words ungodly , sinner and scorncr , anil oven In vrallcith. "The word ungodly means simply not godly , and no more. It floes not say how ungodly n. man IB , but simply that he Is not religious. lie may be a inornl , upright , hon est man , n good father and husband , but he IK not religious. Sinner Includes all this , but Boca farther. A sinner Is one who Is guilty of breaking the commandments of Oed In his outward lite. This Is Its meaning In the old testament. A scorner Is both utifiodly and a sinner , but he Is more. He has been so far degraded In wickedness that ho ridi cules and scorns God. "A man Is blessed who Is none < Jf these , but lie Is not necessarily a Christian , A Christian should bo honest and moral , but lie must be a good deal more. He must be consecrated to Qod. This the moral man Is not. The principle which animates him Is BclQshncss. I do net mean that selfishness : \hlcli wraps one up In oneself , but that which forms plans and purposes Ir respective of Od. Ho asks the question : Will this thing promote the Interest of my self or of my family ? ' Hut the religious man asks : 'Will th's ' enable me to do the will of my Heavenly Father1 He wants to co If lila acts will pleasa Qod. Then he conies godly and his morality spr ngs from Sils love of God. "The sinner has a way In which he Is accust'inod to walk. Hut the godly man avoids even the appearance cf walking In hla way. Sometimes he may blunder , be cause he Is not perfect , but he does not get Into It knowingly. There are fashionable amusements wh ch are dMiiaglng to spiritual life , such as dancing , drinking , the theater and cards. Some of us may limit our enjoy ment of these to a particular point and they will do us no harm. Itut the things that we can do many cf cur neighbors cannot. There fore , we should avoid the very nppearnnce of evil. Wo will be setting an example to some who cannot regulate their lives and lead them to destruction. There are three rules which I follow In regard to this. First , I will not go anywhere where God cannot ga with me. Secondly , 1 will go nowhere whence I cannot return and get on my knees nnd thank Oed for the good It has done me. And , thirdly , I will not do anything that may damage someone else. There are only a few things that wo cannot do and thou lands that wo can enjoy and become blessed. MEANEST MAN ON EARTH. "In the olden days of the church there was a certain part of the edifice reserved for the wicked , where the scorncrs used to sit. A scorner Is the meanest man on earth Ho does not bo a man and come for wait with arguments , but ridicules Oed and thus leads men astray. Ho points to a member of the church and says that that man Is not better and often not as good as himself. That Is often the case. Christians arc fre quently too negative In their character. Not only must a good Christian ask hlma ° lf wha ho Is not to do , hud what he Is to do , what Oed wills him to do. God's Isw Is writ ten In nature. His will Is revealed In the bible. It Is the letters -which Qed has sent his children. There are some- who do not rend the bible once a week. A father's or a. mother's letters would not be treated that way. The bible should bo read frequently. Then , when you have no time t < read It , still you will have It In your hear and ciin meditate- dally upon It. If the Ills tory of Infidelity could bs written the causi of skepticism In ninety-nine cases out of IOC would bo found to be Ignorance of what th bible contains. Thomas Paine , who wrot that there was nothing In the bible , said that lie never had the patience to read I through. He becomes a skeptic because hi did not know what It contained. The law of the Lord Is perfect. Any one who wll study the book with one eye slnglo to the truth will reach It. But the study must b pursued day by day. "A man bearing the positive and negative character of Christianity must be blessed and wise. He cannot be otherwise. He wll have the testimony of a good consclenci that ho Is doing God's will as far as he Is able. Ho has done what he thought v.a right , and he will bo braver. On the otho hand , how coward.y U he with the guilt } conscience. Hut although the man of th good conscience Is Joyous mid hnppy , h wants more , He asks : "Is this pleasing to God ? ' Although his conscience tells hlir hs has acted to the best of his ability , h prays that It may please Gad. lint thcs are only the witnesses of the present. llov do .they nffect the future ? They bring hopi hope based upon th ? promise of the bible , an anchor , strong and steadfast. While llfi IB not passed In cmbarrassmentn and every thing Is peaceful , we do not think we uavi such art anchor. nut when the tempes rages , we look within our souls and fim It there. And when the tempest ceases w pass through the golden gates and are safe , ' In the course of his sermon Dlshop Bow. man narrated many experiences In his own life and the lives of others to illustrate hi conclusions.

SUE TELI.3 A STRANGE STOHY. An Kiiclliiii AVoinnii'fl HtrniiRo Kxpcrluncc on TIKI t-nntlnriitR. Miss D. Huescll , an English ncman 21 years of age , was arrested Friday by De tectives Jlajes and Iludeon and will be held pending an Investigation Into her record. The young woman U a recent arrival In Omaha , and for the past few days she has been slopping at theWomen's Christian Home at III South Seventeenth street. A couple of days ego the- manager of the homo missed $75 which had been hidden n\\ay In a liraner. Detectives were sent for and suspicion was directed toward Miss Russell , although the ladles , at the horns wore very sltnv to bellcvo that she knew anything ab ut the missing money. When MUs Itussell went to the home she told them Urn : she had come from Marshalltown , la. , and that she had been rcbbed on the train near that place. She asked for a piece to stay until she could get money from relatives In England , claimIng - Ing to have ample financial resources across the big pond. During her stay here she said that she had stopped at one of the Christian homes In Chicago. .A telegram was sent there Thursday and Friday a reply was received saying that such a woman bad stopped there some time ago. but that she had dlsappsared rather sud denly and about the same time a number of valuable articles and some cash also dlsap- pcareJ. An Inquiry was also sent to Mar- shalltown , but as yet no reply has been re ceived. The woman was closely questioned by Cap tain Mostyn , and she told a str.uge story , saying that she came to this country a year ago with some relatives in order to escape the persecutions of her mother , who wanted her to marry her step-brother , whom she despised. She embraced the opportunity to came to America when her relatives came over here to visit the World's fair , She went to Chicago and there she left her rela tive for reasons which she refused to make plain. Since then she has traveled about In an aimless manner , not knowing where- she was to stop. She claims to have received egular remittances from her mother , and .bout . a week or ten days ago , after receiving ; 75 from home , she determined to travel. 3ho met a strange lady to whom she took a reat fancy who was going to Marshalltown. 3hc concluded to go along. Then she was ebbed , and being left penniless the authorl- , Ics provided her with a ticket and she came : o Omaha to await the arrival of her next re- ul.tance. The- woman talked with a strong English accent , but would drop It In a sus picious manner when she seemed to forget lierself. She takes her arrest as a matter of course and does not seem to be a bit em barrassed. Her story seems quite Improbable .0 the police and they are investigating her case. 1 .V.VO UXCKMKX TS.

To the Editor of Th Omaha Dee : The taxpayers and citizens o ( his. city seem to Ife generally misinform ? ns to the cost of repairs en pared strests Tlio Board of Public Works lias been cen sured by many citizens for all.wing the Dar ber Asphalt Paving company to resurface sc many streets this season , making. In thsli judgment , extravagant expenditures of publl money. The facts , however , ore that . th company has a contract v llh the city to keep all Its asphalt streets In repair after bavin bitn down five years , at 8 cents per squar yanl each year for all such pavement , paya tie seml-nnnually. During 1883 th ; contract cost the c'ty ' $18 , 311,67. In addltUn , repairs were made no Included In the contract Amounting tc $1.205.24. making a total of $ l .51 > .91. Th amount will bo greater each year , and It wll not be ling before the cost of this coritrac will ba more than $50,000 per year. As It IB , the city must pay Just the earn 1C no repairing Is done. Such being th case , the Hoard of Public Works can otil ; parform Its duty to tlio general public by re quiring the- company to keep the streets In first-class condition , without regard to th number of square yards necessary to be torr up and replaced v lti ! new material. The number of miles ot asphalt pavcmen Is 20.CG. Colorado sand stone , 21.09 ; vltrlfle brick , 10.68 ; cedar block. 23.19. making total ot 78.62. If all the pavements were c asphalt It would cost ths city for repairs an nually $180,000 , or nearly a tax of 1 per cen on the taxable property ot the city , real an personal.

Marshal of the day was Peter Penner , attired In the. garb of a Prussian general , on n war charger , Mr. Penner evidently knew how to conduct himself on such an occasion , having served under Emperor William I. The first division directly commanded by him was composed of mrmbera of the local Treubund lodges. In the second division , headed by Assistant Mar shal Andy Frlcli , marched lodges from South Omaha , the Bavarian , Schwaben , Saxonia and Schwelzer verelns.

The day was closed with a ball , the hall being crowded to Its utmost extent. Clojo of tlio Shooting- Tournament at Jluscr'8 1'iirtt Ve < itcr < l. > y. From a financial point of view the rain yesterday prevented a successful ending of the annual tournament of the Omaha Schuctzenvereln , It , however , d'd ' not de tract from the excellency of the shooting. Threatening clouds kept many people from attending. The tournament was opened at 9 o'clock at Iluscr's park with the usual firing of the cannon , and soon thereafter the crack of the rifles Indicated that the contest was an In earnest. Alan. Chrcn and King Schelbc were the targets which furnished the marks for ths riflemen. The first red flag for the forenoon was won by Hans Petersen on the Kehr target. When the sun reached the meridian KrecU Fuller of Council Bluffs brought out the last one. In the afternoon tlu same parties vton the honors. When the score was counted Charles inussen of the Danish Rifle club was faind to have earned the premium on the Man tar get. Clos'ly following him was II. Petersen , with one point less , or 67 out of a possible 60 points. Next came Fred Fuller , who seemed ( o be eut of practice , with still one point In arrears. On the Ehren , or people's target , Fuller gained 63 out of a possible 75 , and maintained the lead up to the closing. The most Interesting and exciting interest was that upon the King target. Hard earned honors were won en this by Fred Mengi- doht , ulth 190 points out of a possible 200. Fuller and Ituser followed with 176 and ICQ points respectively. The tournament closed with Fred Fuller , F. R. Heft and Fred M ngedoht winning medals en the Kehr target. Though the day was not favorable for the shoot , s'mo very good scores were made on the bowling alley , which was the center of attraction during the latter part of the after noon , W. F. Stoeckr leading with 59 out ol a possible CO points , with five balls In a tenpin - pin game. The contest In this continued until dark. According to the program , Fred Mcngedoht was crowned as Schnetzenkoenls and the honors worn by F. R. Heft of this city passed Into his keeping. The Danish Rifle club of this city is to have Us annual tournament at Ruser's park next Sunday. AX.4J < U/.Va TJIK MTU. Stnnfunl'B 1'lnni for the Disposal of Her l.uto HnslmiKl'H Wealth.

E.'tUtt of the Commercial lub was seen by a reporter nnd asked lor nformatlon respectingthe , status of the com- etltlon for state fair relocation. Private ulvlces from Lincoln , indicate that powerful nlluences nra atworjc to prevent the fair otnlng to Omaha. It was Intended that the natter b : settled next Monday , but for legal eacons it has been thrown over to the regu- ar January meeting of the State Hoard of Agriculture , The commissioner has been pushing Omaha's claims , and Is apparently satisfied Ith the situation as he now finds It. He aid : "The business men of the city have done 11 thai la possible to date toward securing lie stale fair at Omaha , so far as I am able o Judgs. The Etato board of managers fur ls lied specifications they required coinpll- nee with In the bid made , covering grounds , mlldlngs , tracks , etc. The bid has been ilnced with them covering thes : specified- .Ions. In the bid wo name three different ocatlons. Either of the three sites may be Mected by them. These sites were put In so .hat nil persons having grounds to tender or the purpose would have an equal or fair how. It Is understood that the award willet ot be made until the annual meetingIn nnuary. At that tlmo we will bo on hand , eady to give bond and sign a contract that vlll be good and acceptable If we should ecuro the fair. To do this It will b& ncces- ary to ralsi $50,000 before January , and the eople of Omaha will be given a chance to ontiibuto soon. "The next question of Importance Is the ote to be cast In January that shall deter mine the location. The entlrs vote will ba bout eighty , composed of twenty-nine mem- iers of the State Board of Agriculture and he presidents of the county fair associations nd agricultural societies about th : state , 'he most of those voting have not been se eded yet , but will bo selected this fall. We vlll then know the persons on whom our fat ? epemls. Undoubtedly they are sensible men and ara not selected on any state fair Issue , and will be largely without prejudice. The ilds , when opened , will be considered on heir merits. So far as Omaha Is concerned ve certainly will present reasons why wo hould have the fair , and hope our offer and argument will prevail. "It seems Lincoln Is parading In the news papers , what its people propose to offer and to lo , but It seems to me to bo poor policy. The fair association certainly will not permit h ; old buildings at Lincoln to be put In a bid and accept'them for the next five years. 'he construction ot now facilities and the 20,000 guaranty to cover deficit , It carried _ ut In good faith by Lincoln , would necessl- ate the raising of $70,000. Any sensible M-SOII knows Lincoln could not raise $ JO,000 n cash for these purposes at this time. "Any thoughtful person knows that If the 'air ' shall bo located In Omaha that the at- endance the first year , with good weather , would bo at least 160,000 , and the rev nue from all sources close to $100,000. Neces sarily our bid will depend on the capability and Integrity of the .board , and there Is no reason to question them. On the other hand here Is every reason why we should have alth In them. Now about all wo can do is o keep our house In order and await the coming of the day. " IFY/.C ItKTIKE JU 0.ir 11VHIUHSS. Ono of the Oldest CuHfiiriiln Savings lini : ! llclnir Wound Up. SAN FRANCISCO , Sept. 1C. It became known today that the California Savings and Loan society , a savings Institution that has been In bublness hero for over twenty- one years , is about to go into liquidation. The directors of the bank are said to have arrived at this understanding at a meeting hfcU last week. At B meeting soon to be held the stockholders will bo asked to rat ify the action of tha.dtrectors. Though the state bank commissioners art said to have been Investigating the affairs of the con cern , It" Is claimed that they discovered the bank's condition to be about as Its odlcirs represented on July 1 , last. The- total re sources of the bank -were stated at that time to bo $1,395 255. The bank's liabilities are given as follows : Capital paid up , $100- 000 ; reserve , profit and loss , $34S"9 ; due depositors , $1,236,169 ; other liabilities $4,215. The bank's retirement from busi ness Is voluntary. Commercial deposits ag gregating some $20,000 will bo paid at once , but the ordinary depositors will have to \\alt until liquidation is completed before they will get all their money. Then5 Is llttlo doubt that all claims against the bank will be paid. _ Homo Aaln. After a brief absence the cheerful visitor , dyspepsia , returns again.

The agreement In question was entered Into be tween the Commercial company and the United States in March , 1S 0. It gave the company exclusive right to catch seals about the Islands of St. George and St. Paul Onnlaska , for which the UnlUd States was to receive an annual rent of $00,000 for twenty years and $7.0C'i { for each seal captured.

The government alleges that the company caught 7,500 seals during the first year , for which it demands $57,187 , In addi tion to the $60,000 for rent. The company says that part of these skins wera caught by the natives and shipped by the com pany , which never was allowed the exclu sive right as guaranteed In the contract.

This will have a tendency to 1m- provo business conditions and hasten pros perity. "I think that the business of the caintry will gradually adjust Itself to the provisions of the new tariff. And I think , also , that what the business men of this country really want Is peace on the tariff question. "The Issue of the next campaign , " he con tinued , "Is the conspicuous failure of the democratic party to administer the affairs of the government In diplomacy , In finance , In everything. The democratic party will be on the defensive throughout the campaign , en deavoring to justify Its acts. The republican parly has Its record and will stand upon that.

SAN FRANCISCO , Sept , 15. Somebody stands to lose a million dollars on what , and San Francisco grain men are wondering who the victim Is. For months L. F. McQIaugh- lln bought wheat for some unknown specula tor until ho had accumulated between 175- 000 and 200,009 tons of wheat , for which he paid an average price of $1.20 per csntnl , At present prices ho cannot rcalho within 33 cents of as much as he paid per ccrilul for this Immense quantity of wheat. It Is said by grain dealers hre that ex-Senator James G. Fair is the only man on the coast who has enough ready money to back McGlaughlln In a big deal , and It now looks as If he had made an error In his calculations that will Involve the loss of $1,000,000. When Mc Glaughlln commenced to buy last winter wheat was nevsr before so low. Under the stimulus of big purchases the price went up , but It soon fell , and wheat Is now lower than ever. It IK calculated that there are at present bet\ven 800,000 nnd 000,000 tons of wheat In the state that a market must ba found for. All this wheat must be shipped out of the country , and shipowners arc holdIng - Ing back for high charges.
