Sermon Ycttcrilaf.
'At the UntversalUt church Dr. Augusta
3. Chapln's topic yesterday morning was
"Tho Covenant of dod with Man. " She said
In part :
' As surely and as constantly ns Qed sets
the rainbow In the sky ho Is'mltidful from
ngo to ago of the Joys and sorrows of his
human children. As Ho ministers to man's
taste for beauty Ho ministers to his need
In all things. The tame dlvlno energy that
maintains a changeless order In material
things makes for righteousness forever In
the realms of the spirit. This Is the ever
lasting covenant , and Is the euro ground of
eternal hope.
There Is given to all men this summer
morning a perennial and most glorious
hope. Our thoughts sweep over the his
tory of our planet and we find man always
advancing , Each succeeding ago has found
him Invariably somewhat better than he
was In the preceding one. History shows
conclusively the method of the unseen energy
orgy that control's man destiny. It shows
that the controlling tendency of his nature
Is onward nnd upward.
Step by step since tlmo begnn
Wu trace the steady pain of man.
Does thin argue the total and Inherent
depravity of man or permit a belief In sucli
depravity ? We are asked to believe thn
our first parents , In the garden of Eden , In
stead of turning their faces forward , turned
them backward. Uut the facts show Ilia
from almost the first hour of his existence
man has been seeking for light and knowT
edge , The Innocence and purity of Eder
wcro those of the child of a day. When
the first man and woman gained the powc
to discriminate between good and evil they
made an advance step toward true man
hood and womanhood. There can bo n
l doubt about It. They now became responsl
IK bio beings and capable of acting with con
Bclous purpose of good or evil. They hai
power to choose the good ; and If sometime
they chose the bad that was better than nc
choice at all. They suffered the palnfu
penalty of wrongdoing , but that was bettci
than to go on In sin unrestricted or Ig
norant that It was sin. When man ha
dona good he has been bl&ssei
with the rewards of his goodness
and when ho has done evil ho liai
been blessed by the dlvlno chastlsemen
which In the shape of results recalled him
to the fact that ho was In the wrong road
and not unfrequcntly the retribution , li
mercy given , has pernuaded or enforced hi ;
return.
We are aslced by the old theology to be
llevo that the tendency of man Is downwan
and not upward. " The best rjfutatlon of tha
claim Is found In the- undeniable fact tha
ho lias been from the beginning going In tin
upward direction. Had his contrnllng ten
rtency been to evil ho would not ha\o befn
found , as age succeeded age , always In ad
vance of where the preceding one left h'm. '
This Is not saying that ho has not sinned
and suffered , or that he has not wandered
countless days In the wilderness , but It la
Baying that sin and suffering as well aa
goodness and reward have been his teachers ,
and that In the wise providence of God they
Imvo been made a redsemlng Influence In his
lite. It Is Impossible to leek over the fields
of hlsory and shut our eyes to this unas
sailable truth , which Is fet as a bow of
promise In the clouds of our human horizon.
Let It suggest and confirm In our minds the
preat and glorious hope that this dlvlno ten
dency , deeply rooted In human nature , will
yet bring each and every soul Into the light
and beauty which belong to It as the child
of the highest. This outcome Is as certain
as that wo ehall see God's bow In the clouds
when we look through the morning mists or
> ' the afternoon showers.

Ministers Mint I'rencli thn I.nw In Jiulg-
nioitt urn ! the Uuiipnl In .Mercy.
Rev. T. W. Mathews at the Monmouth
Park Methodist church preached an exposi
tory sermon yesterday morning on the
eleventh cbauier of Revelations , his specific
topic being "The Two Witnesses. " He
spoke substantially as follows :
This chapter opens with a vision of the
measurement of the temple of God , the altar
anil the worshipers. What belongs to God Is
laid under hla own measuring rule. Man's
rule will not do.
Ono says : "I don't like the orthodox
church. It la too narrow. Let mo measure
It. " He ( altos hl.s little reed and measures
It. and with his Infidel hammer Itnocks down
the stralRht sate and widens the narrow way.
Ho makes them as wldo as goad resolutions ,
as broad as science or reason or human
benevolence. He makcj the brotherhood of
mankind the religion of the universe and his
church becomes so spacious na to admit every
creed , or ro creed at all , however false or
fair. Every order and every oracle must
have a place. This Is inan'a measurement.
God's measurement Is different. He measures
the gate and It Is stralsht. Ho measures
the way and It Is narrow. The entrance Is
by the gate of repentance. The way Is by
faith in Christ.
Another s.iys : "I don't like the orthodox
altar ; It Is ton bloody. Lot mo measure It. "
Ho measures It , but leaves out the Wool.
Ho lays humanity In the temple , and bows
at that altar as a humanitarian. Ho erects
an altar out of natural laws and worships at
the shrine , or enthrones i capon nbove revela
tion and pays his devotion to It. This Is
man's measurement. God's measurement Is
different. Ho lays In this temple the chlcl
cornerstone as the only altar. Ha has laid
It In blood and covered It with blood from
a fountain ever flowlnR and overflowing with
blood. Hallelujah ! This altar Is the Son ol
Man and Son of Go1 , und Is measured , not
by humanltailanlsm. nor rationalism , nor
naturalism , but by divinity. It Is an altar
most holy , H world-embracing altar , to which
all who will may come. Leave It to the
world's congress of religions to tacitly aj-
m It that the false religions of the world are
parallels to the religion of Jesus In blessing
ani paving our poor fallen humanity , but
let the ministers of His proclaim , with un
dying faith a id fervor , the poncr of a cruel-
( led and risen Christ as the only remedy foi
the malady of sin. In the awful wreck
mild falling , llamlng worlds , the only aliai
( bat will stand Is Christ.
Another says : "I don't like the orthodox
worshiper ? . They are too exclusive. Lei
mo measure them , " And he marches fortli
R vast multitude , which no man can number
members of organizations and orders and
companies and clubs with ritual and prayer-
book and ceremony and paraphernalia , Instl
tuted , however worthy they may be , only foi
the social and pecuniary benefits of men and
women In the present life. His measure In
cludes them all. This la man's measurement t.
God's Is different. Note that only the wor
shipers rome under the divine measurement
The outer court was not counted In. Goi
counts tliow ho , within his measured tern
nlo , wor&hlp Him In spirit and In truth. Th'i
Is the first witness symbolized by the twc
candlesticks. Only In accordance with God' :
measurement can the church have tha wit
noislnc power that will move tbo world ti
ClirT&f " T m f.j \ j ,
The mlulslry Is the other witness repre
edited by the two olive trees witnessing litho
the two-fold aspect of the law and the gos
pel. Ministers must preach , not science no
politic * ( except by way of application ) , bu
the lawn Judgment and the gospel In mercy
This linagry Is borrowed from Zacharial
when the olive trees stand on either side o
( ho golden candlestick with Its golden bow
wth | seven lamps. Seven golden pipes suppl ;
( he flames with golden oil , which Is th
word of life. Let these two wltnesies bi
kept bright and shining.

Tha Orent Million with Illi Spiral Toner
nnd I'yroteclinlo Dliplnr
Beginning with Sunday , CourtlancJ Beach
Is to have one of the most marvelous and
brilliant entertaining artistic novelties. Prof.
Phlllon , who was such a feature at the Mid
winter California fair , will perform on his
rtvolvlng aerial globe , going through the most
wonderful feats. It Is one of the strongest
outdoor attractions known , and the press
and people both give It all the praise possible
to command ,
Phlllon , standing erect upon a globe , only
twenty-elght Inches In diameter , goes through
his marvelous feats of rolling the globe up
and down the spiral tower runway and then
across a cable , In every conceivable way ;
forward , backward , sideways , turning and
pirouetting , all the time propelling the globe
with his feet , and using no balancing pole.
After rccrosslng the cable to the tower the
final descent Is made under a most magnlflcint
and Indescribable mammoth fountain of ( Ire ,
which completely envelops the spiral tower
from top to bottom. The surrounding lights
being Instantly extinguished the moment this
most grand pyrotechnic display begins , the
effect produced Is a most beautiful trans
formation tableau , which never falls to create
the greatest enthusiasm , At this stage of
this most remarkable exhibition a steam car
riage arrives at the foot of the spiral tower.
Prof. Phlllon then takes his seat and gives
an exhibition of fancy riding with this wonderful -
derful mechanical carriage , riding It In dif
ferent circles , cutting the figure eight and
showing In numerous dlff rent ways how eas
ily his new Invention can be handled. An
exhibition of speed Is then given , the whistle
Is blown and Prof. Phlllon retires.
Manager Arthur , knowing the attracting
qualities of this great novelty , has given
Omaha people on opportunity to see the won-
dprf.ul performance of this marvelous ecjulll-
brlst , and It now remains to be teen If Omaha
will give It ths llb.ral patronage due It. This
Is the first season at Courtland for Mr.
Arthur. Ho Is , however , well acquainted
with the wants of the. amusement going
public , and promises , If his first effort for
Courtland beach receives ths encouragement
It certainly merits , to give Omaha a series
of the finest outdoor attractions obtainable. .
Manager Arthur also announces for next
Sunday a troupa of Arabian athletes making
a combination unequalUd at any outdoor re
sort In this country.
Sle Hassan Den All and his royal Moorish
troupe of Arabian athletes In feats of bal
ancing , marvelous tumbling , gun exercises ,
living pyramids and other national sports
and pastimes peculiar to athletic gladiators.
This Is the greatest aggregation of acrobatic
and athlstlc performers ever seen on any
one stage. It wao organized by Slo Haspaii
Hen All In the city of Fez , Morocco , February
22 , 1892 , with special permission of his
majesty , the sultan of Morocco , and will bs
In attendance at Courtland beach next Sun-
? '
A Picnic for a Dollar.
The Haydcn Bros. ' employes' picnic ,
which takes place at West Point June 23d ,
promises to b3 a very enjoyable affair. The
features of last year will be greatly In
creased by foot ball games , base ball , sack
races and a host of other pleasant pastlmei.
The ride Itself to West Point and return for
a dollar Is enough Inducement to go.
Tickets can be obtained from any employe of
Hayden Pros.
Cloning Out.
The Buckeye Buggy company are closing
out Its stock at Fifteenth and Howard , A
stock In every way flner In quality nnd style
than has over been shown In Nebraska.
Dealers and city buyers will save from 25
to 50 per cent on any prices over made on
so-called cloning out sales of the past. The
sale lasts only a few days. Mr. L. C. Hill ,
formerly of this city , Is In charge. Pros
pective buyers should call at once.

A Count for 1'irst 1'rlzo.
These are the days of schemers. A French
man signing himself Comte de Clerlco de
Saint Germain has written a letter to one of
the St. Petersburg Journals , says the New
York Tribune , proposing a lottery , with him
self as the prize. There are to be 1,000,000
chances , each ticket to cost one ruble. Any
young womanwho , wishes to pay that amount
In the hope of becoming a countess Is en
titled to one chancy. The one drawing the
"lucky" number Count Clerlco promises to
marry and Install as the chatelaine of his
French chateau. The proceeds of the lottery
ho proposes to divide as follows : Two hun
dred and fifty thousand rubles for himself ,
250,000 for his brldo , 250,000 for the Journal
which conducts llio lottery and 250,000 for the
poor of Uussla. The count argues that this
will bo the lowest price one ruble ever paid
by any woman for a bona fide'title ' of coun
ters. He declares 'that he belongs to one of
the oldest families In France , lias a comfort
able fortune , unimpeachable character and
an unsullied name , nnd that ho will furnish
documentary proof of bis claims. His fortune ,
however , he says Is not sufficient for him to
live In fae requisite fin de sleclo style. Some
of the French papers Imvo treated the propo
sition seriously and express the fear that the
oddity of his proposal will attract some one
willing to pay 1,000,000 rubles outright for
him rather than the ono ruble at which he
estimates himself.

Ice CracU Thirty Mllon I.one.
A curious phenomenon Is reported on Lake
Wlnnebago , Wisconsin. In the middle of
the winter the Ice cracks open , the fissure
extending lengthwise of the lake and almost
exactly midway betwen the east and the
west shores. Tlie opening averages from
three to six feet In width and Is nearly
thirty miles long. It occurs every winter
regularly , and those who are In the habit of
crossing the lake on the Ice make arrange
ments to construct a temporary bridge across
tlio chasm. Teams hauling brick from the
Calumet shore find that he crack Is equally
distant from both sides , and when a team
starts from both shores at the Fame tlmo the
teams are sure to meet at the crack In the
middle of the lake. The only explanation of
the matter is that the extreme cold causes
ttio Ice to contract , and the contraction being
equal to the whole mass. It causes the open-
Ing In the middle.
( Jrorcln's I'cnch Cnrnlvnl.
Something unique In the way of an exposl-
tlon Is about to come off at Macon , Ga. As
told by the Georgia papers It Is a peach car
nival , and It Is expected that the peach grow
ing Industry of the entire state will be rep.
resented by exhibits. When It Is remem
bered that on the lines of a single railroad
system In Georgia thcro are 2,088,000 peach
trees that grow fruit for shipment , something
may be known of the present magnitude of
an Industry that scarcely existed twenty
- years ago , Tha peach bait now extends over
the greater part of the state , and some sin
gle orchards number 100,000 trees.

PASSING OF HORSE CARS
List i One in Omaha Was Taken Off tin
Track Last Evening.
DRIVER , CAR AND HORSES PHOTOGRAPHED
Home Fact * About the llUtorr of Street
Hallways In the City , Showing the
Evolution from Mule CMM to
Modern Klcctrlo Tnitns.
At C o'clock last night Driver Chrlstan-
san pulled his car , No. 54 , up In ( rout ct the
barns of the Omaha Street Hallway company
at Twenty-sixth and Lake streets , where he ,
the horses and the car were photographed.
After the artist had completed his work the
car was driven Into the barn and the bob
tall car , so far as Omaha was concerned ,
became a thing of the past. Horses had
succumbed to electricity and the driver , 'like
logo , was without an occupation.
In 1SG7 , when Omaha had a population of
less than 15,000 , a number of the capitalists
of the town went before the territorial legIslature -
Islaturo and secured the passage of a special
act Incorporating the Omaha Horse Hallway
company. The Incorporators were Alfred
Hurley , Ezra Mlllnrd , GeorgeW. . Frost ,
Joel T. Griffin , J. W. Paddock. C. A. Chase ,
O. M. O'Urlen. J. II. MereUlth , H. A. Ulrd ,
R. I ) . Chandler , John McCormlck , Augustus
Kountze , W. Huth , J. F. Coffman , A. J.
Hanson and David Butler. At the first meet
ing of the Incorpoators George W. Frost \\as
elected president and 13. I ) . Chandler sec
retary. This meeting was held In the Omaha
National bank , a small frame structure that
occupied the site where the Omaha National
bank of today Is located. This me-tlnj ? was
held on May 1. 1S67. At this meeting It was
decided to build from Cumlng street , south
on Twentieth to Cns > s , on Cass to Eighteenth ,
on Eighteenth to Capitol avenue , on Capitol
avenue to Fifteenth street , on Fifteenth to
Farnam , on Fainam to Ninth , nnd on Ninth
street to the Union Pacific depot , n dletancs
of tUreo mllps. Soon after this active oper
ations were commenced , and In 1869 a single
track Tf > at\ \ was built from the depot , then at
the foot of Ninth street , up to Farnam and as
far wist an Fifteenth street. Four double
end horse cars were put Into the service ,
each carylng a driver and a conductor. The
faro was 10 cents , or eight rides for GO
cents. From 1869 until 1872 there were no
extensions made , owing to the hard times
and the lack of travel , but In the fall of the
latter year the town took on something of a
boom and the company commenced to bulli
on the route mapped out In the articles ol
Incorporation.
EXTENSIONS FOLLOWED FAST.
In the fall of 1S72 the line was completed
and bob tall cars were put ai , conductors
being dispensed with and the fare boxes
being put Into place , the faro being reducec
to 5 cents. Soon after ' .his a number of extensions -
tensions were planned and built as rapidly
as stock could be sold nnd money raised
This continued until 1874 , after which there
was a stagnation In street railway building
until 1S7C. In 1876 the St. Mary's avenue
the West Farnam street nnd the Eighteenth
line to Lake street were constructed. Thus
matters ran along until 1884hen the road
passed Into the hands of Guy C. Barton , S
II. II. Clark nnd Captnln Marsh , who n
once put In the Crelghton college , the South
Thirteenth and the Hanscom park lines
About this time the Omaha Cable Tramwo ;
company was organized and given n charte
to build on Tenth , Dodge , Harney und Nortl
Twentieth streets. In the fall of 1886 thl
company had completed Its cable road fron
the Tenth street depot to Cass street on th
Dodge street line and to Twenty-fourtl
street on the Harney and West Dodge stree
line. The road was popular , as it Inaufiuriitoi
the rapid transit , as well as bringing Int
vogue the first uniformed employes. A fov
months prior to this time tin- old rompwiy
had been completely reorganized and sev
eral extensions made until the company wa
operating seventy cars and using 600 horses
MERGER'S SUCCESS WITH MOTORS.
In the spring of 1SS8 electricity as a mo
tlvo power was being talked nnd Dr. S. D
Mercer , who believed that It was the rapi
transit power of the future , secured the rlgh
of way over about all of the streets In th
city , barring those over which the horse rail
way company did not claim the right t
operate. Using his own capital , ho tried th
experiment , nnd wlttiln ninety days he ha
electric lines running from Fortieth stree
and Ames avcnuo to South Omaha. For
few weeks there was nn Interesting stree
railway war waged In the city , Injunctlo
following Injunction In rapid succession n
the fight to hold the right of way on certal
streets progressed. Mercer's lines grew Int
popularity and people voted the old horse ca
too clow. In the fall of 1888 the old liors
car company secured the control of the cabl
and soon after it consolidated with the Mercer
cor company , but not until the latter com
pany 'aad built Its electric line to Walnu
Hill. Immediately after the consolidate
there was a complete reorganization of th
company , and , as a result , the Omaha Stree
Hallway company came Into existence. T
keep pace with the town , horse car line afte
horse car line passed away , electricity takln
the place of the animals which had been pull
ing the cars. This continued until there was
only ono line In the city operated by horses ,
this extending from Twentlet'a street west
on Lake to Thirtieth , and north on Thirtieth
to Bedford Place , a distance of one and three-
fourth miles.
For nearly ten years horses have
pulled the bobtail cars over the
North Thirtieth street line , which In
street railway parlance Is known as the
"Overland , " but today the horses arc stabled
and as soon as Hie grade at Lake and Thlr-
tlejh streets Is cut down electric wires will
be strung and electric cars will run from
Twenty-fourth and Lake streets to the north
ern terminal.
SPOILED THE HORSE MARKET.
Yesterday , when speaking of the change ,
General Manager Smith of the Omaha Street
Hallway company said that he hoped to have
the line In opsratlon within thirty days.
Most of the old hcrso cars which were for
merly In the service are stored In the com
pany barns about the city , though some have
been converted Into double ended trailers ,
while others have been sold to small towns
In this and adjoining states where horse car
lines are still In operation.
In speaking of the Introduction of electricity
as a motive power , Mr. Smith remarked that
It had played sad havoc wlt'i , the horse mar
ket of the country. Ten years ago he said
that scattered through all of the western
states there were large ranches where the
owners made a specialty of raising 'aorses for
use on street railways. The average life of a
street railway horse was from four to five
years , and hundreds of thousands of them
were raised and told each year. With t'ie '
Introduction of electricity the business of
horse raising had been killed off and many of
the horse- ranches had been closed , the
owners going out of business or engaging-
other lines.

VALUE OF TRAINING SCHOOL
Members of Board of Education Differ Rad
ically with Respect to It.
EFFORT I BEING MADE TO ABOLISH IT
Some Action expected nt TontRht'i Jloet-
Ing Iloir the Experiment ll Worked
In Umnbn Illmler * the Selection
of Competent Teachers.
Whether or not a teacher's training
school will bo Included In the educational
facilities of Omaha during the coming school
year Is a question which Is scheduled for
decision at the regular meeting of the
Board of Education this evening. For a
year or two past there has been a growing
sentiment against the school , and several
members of the board Imvo arrived at the
opinion that the expenditure of money for
this purpose Is not only Illegal , but without
any benefit commensurate with the ex
pense.
The training school experiment has been
In operation In this city since 1SS9 , when a
committee was appointed to ascertain Its
prospective cost and report to the board.
On Its recommendation the school was es
tablished and rules were adopted for Its
regulation. On July 13 , 1892 , the Idea
seemed to prevail that the experiment was
a failure , and the training school was abolished
ished by a resolution of the board. But
there was still an eleme'nt which favored
the school , and In the following January It
was re-established. The old rules , however ,
were not again adopted , neither were any
new ones promulgated , BO since 1893 the
school has been running on a wldo open
basis , with no regulations governing It.
Several opinions have been rendered by
the attorneys of the board , In whlr-h It
was stated that the school represented an
Illegal expenditure of the school fun Is.
This opinion was first rendered by Judge
Baxter , and his opinion was reinforced by
ono from State Superintendent Gaudy in
which the saino doctrlno was laid down.
The statutes explicitly state that the deci
sion of the state superintendent shall be the
law In such a case until It Is set aside by
the supreme court , but , notwithstanding
these rulings , the training school has con
tinued to exist and the taxpayers have
footed the bills.
Since the school was established It has
graduated fifty-one pupils. Of these twenty-
six are now teaching In the public schools ,
nlno were recently assigned for the coming
year , three have resigned , nlno have been
dropped for Incompetency , and four have
taken the training school course without
applying for positions at Its conclusion.
SAY IT DOES NOT PAY.
It Is claimed by the opponents of the school
that this does not pay for the amount ex
pended. The school Is under the supervl
slon of a superintendent at $150 per month.
The superintendent has four assistants at
$100 fir month , making an actual expense
for teachers of $5,600 .a year. Each of the
four assistants has two regular school rooms
under her control , which she looks after
with the assistance of the "cadets , " or trainIng -
Ing school pupils. This makes eight rooms
which are taught at a cost of $4,000 a year.
If there was no training school i teacher
would bo required for each room at an average
ago salary of $ CO or $70 a month. This
would aggregate an amount slightly In excees
of the salaries paid to the four teachers.
From these facts ths supporters of the train
Ing department argue that It Is not In real
ity an Item of expense , since the four teach
ers practically do the work of eight. It Is
claimed , however , that the teacher who has
charge of two rooms with cadet assistants
cannot effect the results that are accom
plished by a teacher who Is at liberty to
give her entire attention to one room.
The controversy relative to the legality of
the training school Is the main Issue at pres
ent In the board. Slnco the opinions of
Judg3 Baxter and Superintendent Goudy were
received a law has been passed which pur
ports to permit the school boards of metro
politan cities to expend the public funds for
training school purposes. It was Immrdl
ately discovered , however , that there was a
defect In the new law. Instead of be'ng '
under a separate title , It was UicVd en t
the general appropriation law , the till' * O
which contains no allusion whatever to the
school law. Since then Mr. Pow'ell , the
present attorney for the Omaha Board o
Education , has examined the linv an'l the
decisions bearing on the case , and has sub
mitted n written opinion , In which he tr.l > es
the positive ground that the new law Is ren
dered absolutely void by the failure to have
mention made of It In the title.
ADVICE TO THE CONTRARY.
During the past few weeks the members o
the board who are making" the fight for the
training school have obtained a number o
opinions of their own which take issue with
the attorney of the board. One of these Is
said to bear the signature of Superintended
Corbett , and It will probably be submlttei
at the meeting tonight. The others are from
local attorneys , who take the ground tha
the mention of the purport of a law In the
title Is not mandatory.
Aside from the doubt as to the validity
of the new law there are several members o
the bead who assert that the training schoo
Is a positive detriment to the schools. They
claim that It Is the principle of homo patron
age carried a little too far. There are
hundreds of experienced and capable teacher
who would like to obtain positions In the
Omaha schools. But few of them can be
iccommodated on account of the number o
training school graduates , who have the
prior claim to consideration. These teachers
are totally Inexperienced except for tha
which has been acquired during their cadet
hlp. Out of thirty-five who have been
elected since the establishment of the train
Ing school nine have been dropped , am
there are several more who are far fron
balng strong teachers. This Induced the mem
bcrs to believe that the schools would bo
better off If the training school system hac
never been Introduced and the board hai
been left free to select the best teachers
obtalnabU without regard to their graduation
from any Omaha institution.
