At the First I'rcsbytcrlan churc'j last nigh
Rev. S.H. . McCormlck took for his subjM :
"Tho Last Judgment ; Ian McLaren , Llttora

for his text John III , 18 : "He that bellcvctl
on Ulin l not judged ; he that belleveth no
tilth been judged already , because he hall
not believed on the name of the only be
gotten tun ot Cod. "
The dtectifslon of the general theme "Th <
Lost Judgment" will tonight bear partlc
ularly upon thu views of Dr. Watson as BO
forth In the sketch "Ueyond Redemption , '
nnd In hU chapter "Judgment According t (
Type , " In the mind of the Master.
The eharacter of "I'osty" Is very vlvldl )
portrayed. Ills bad habit was that o
intoxication and the various attempts or
the part of his many friends at uilu reforma
tlon are aa amusing as they are fruitier
So far aa anything appears In the storj
"I'osty" Is not a religious man ; makes nc
pretense of being a follower ot ChrUt ; am'
Is act forth no ono who ( a In the grasp ol
n ruinous appetite. Apart from hid faithful'
ness to duty , his own great claim to mcrll
consists In the bravo deed which closed his
life , whereby ho was able to rescue a llttlt
child from drowning. All are Intcrcrtcd Ir
" 1'csty , " and "Jamlo" Is made to asfc
"What think ye , tlr , bccam o1 I'osty or
the IWicr Bide ? " The answer Is "Did yi
ever read what shall bo dune to any man
that hurts one o' God's bairns.
"Fine , " answered Jamie , "a mlllstnnc bool

"Then ( t seems to me that It niu.it be well
with I'osty , who wont Into Hie depths and
brougth n bairn up nt the coat of his life.1
The question la not , wo will obosrve. eg tc
whether a man may bo a Christian and yel
bo under the power of appetite. It Is sim
ply this : "If n man who makes no profession
to being a Chrlsl.'nti Is brave enough to
pliingo Into n stream and save a child's life
nt the cost of his own , will he be paved ? "

JOHN WATSON'S ORTHODOXY.
It Is perhaps not easier to defend the
orthodoxy of John Watson , preacher , than
It IB to tluteiul him as n writer of touching
sketches. Hut ho certainly docs suggest a
very different answer In his sermon , from
that In the story. IIo there asserts the cer
tainty , the reasonableness and the Tightness
of a final Judgment. There will bo two
places Into which two classes of men will
03 naturally go as at the close of the day
the sheep and swine , which .have been In
the Held together , will separate , one going
to the fold , the other to the sty.
Jesus did not como to reduce moral order
to anarchy. lie did not break the connec
tion between sin and punishment. He com
bined tender compassion for sinner with
condemnation of sin. He places the rich
man of luxuriant life In torment and casts
the unprofitable servant Into outer dark
ness. The wheat Is gathered Into the gar
ner for that Is where It belong. The tares are
burned.
The basis of this judgment Is what each
man Is In the sight of the eternal , and
this Is determined by his relation to a liv
ing person Jesus Christ. In His life He
divided those who cnme Into contact with
Him Into two classes , thnso who were at
tracted to I lm and those who were re
pelled , The perfect revelation of His moral
glory will raise this quality to Its highest
power , which will In the final judgment bo
the consummation of the process -\vhicli
Is now In 'action. It will bo morally 1m-
p'osslhlo. that' ' Peter and Judas will be In
the same place.
Human life will finally break against
Jesus as .a rock , each current to follow Its
own direction. Acceptance or rejection of
Him determines acceptance or rejeqtlon at
the judgement day. And this Is so for the
simple reason that Ho Is the revelation of
dlvlno goodness. To reject Him Is to reject
perfect goodness ; and this Is to reject
heaven and eternal life.

IN a t'lilliirlnn.
A very largo audience , exceeding the seat-
lug capacity ot the building , assembled ct
Unity church yesterday morning to hear
Ilev. Newton M. Mann's "Seventeen Reasons
for Doing a Unitarian. " A bare outline of
the rnrtnon Is here given :
Taking for a text the Injunction : "Co
ready always to give an answer to every
man that asketh yon a resacn of the hope
that is In you , " the preacher referred to the
tomcrlty In these days of coming before a
congregation with n discourse that extends
to seventeen divisions , and reminds one of
the tlmo when the sermon run through sev
eral hours , bespoke the patience of his hear-
on , and begged them to consider his forbear
ance , since ho could easily have found 100
or moro reasons , Instead ot limiting himself
to seventeen. Ilrlcfly stated , the seven
teen reasons ; are :
1. Generally speaking the Incredibility of
the civeds of other churches. A reasoning
mind demands a reasonable religion.
2. Whatever other thoughts one may have
of God , wo must think ot Him now as one ,
not three or thirty. Wo are Unitarians
Instead of trlnltarlans , because wo have
never been uljlo to see how ono can possibly
be three , and at the > amo tlmo ono. We
have no USD either for a dcnil-god , such as
Satan.
3. Tim prophets of Israel taught a strict
UnllarlanlEin.
1. Jesus followed In their footsteps , nnd
had nothing to cay about a trinity ,
0. The greatest of the Greek and Roman
philosopher * appear to huvo believed in one
Cod , solo and undivided.
C. The vastucss of the universe , as seen
to modern eyes , renders Incredible the whole
ulnry of Incarnation , throwing It Into dis
proportion absolutely preposterous. That
story , and nil similar utorlcii told by pagans ,
were Milted to a tlmo when this earth was
supposed to be the principal part of crea
tion. Modern astronomy makes myths of
them.
7. In this church there U n disposition to
kr > cp Hlli'iit concerning things ot which noth
ing Is known or can be known. To the soul
wrary of humbugs and empty speculations ,
It U an Immense rcltet to find such a place.
DHMANOS MORK THAN A THEORY.
8. Unltarlanlsni declares for the brother
hood of man , Insisting that It shall bo more
than a theory , that It shall be practically
exemplified.
9. It teaches that what man has done and
been , man can do and bo ; that examples
have been set IIH not , for our despairing nd-
mlratlun , but for UK to attain to , and even
to Burpast ) . So our faith encourages the
noblest endeavor.
10. It U possible In this connection to
liavo a natural and reasonable notion of
wtrit the bible Is the surviving literature of
an ancient people. Thus wu are delivered
from the monstrous Incilms of a miraculous
revelation , brjught Into the world the Lord
only knows how ,
11. UnltarlunUm teaches the dignity ot
human nature , the adequacy of our powers to
that which Is expected of them ,
12. It welcomes all advances of thought ;
docu not llvo In constant apprehension that
bomo fine day something will be found out
to upset the whole foundation of theology.
13. It respects your Individuality nnj mine ;

The young girl was bewildered by her
surroundings ; there was much glaring light
and many stairs to climb and to de&cend.
She finally succeeded In getting out ot
the enclosing walls and found herself on n
broad street , jostled by tlio unsympathetic
crowd.
She raw many dork bars radiating fror.l
ono center a strong nnd unyielding center
llko to the power that makes ? unwritten laws
nnd forces obedience to them ; nn she passed
these bars , one by one , and felt strong In
her own nature to go on , she grew older
nnd wiser , but she journeyed In darkness
and there were many stumbling blocks set
for unwary feet.
In the height of her Innocent and yearn
ing womanhood she suddenly felt the pres
ence of n glorllled face , not near her , but
high up above the surging mast'es. A great
light shining from within this face looked
out of the eyes and trembled upon the
lips , -so that this one human stood out be
fore her vltion different from and moro
splendid than all the rest ot the world.
Sl\y adored this face nnd Raw all the virtues
and all the graces combined therein ; so
she walked , looking up , and with Etoady
strides , going toward the love for which she
longed.
All at once the face was gone , and she
felt that ho owner , approached her ; that
he had noticed her among the many and
would teen reach her side on the busy
street where her lot was cast. As he nsared
her her heart throbbed nnd struggled as
If to free Itself.
She hastei.ed so that they might meet.
As their paths were about to cross a veil
was lifted from her eyes , nnd Instead ot
that glorious being for whom she had longed
and la whom she had believed she saw
drawing nearer nnd nearer one who was de
formed and walked unsteadily as If uncertain
of himself. His face was that of one who
had tailed of all that Is of the earth ; hH
mouth bore the Impress ot many vile Words
and coarse kisses ; his eyes dared not look
Into hers ; yet , ho was coming to her as If
ho had a right to all her adoration. And the
woman passed on alone and sorrowing.
Farther down the street she saw again the
wonderful light shining from a different face ,
many times did she see It , but never ilgaln
was she Mire of Its human counterpart.
So she grow to worship the light and Ig
nore the face , that brought It , and her
dream was sweet and uplifting.

overrun by agents , both men nnd women ,
who go from door to door "Introducing" or
"taking orders , " as they term it , for every
thing from a complexion brush to a subsl-

A certain North Omaha woman , who Is
very kind harted and Impulsive , had a little
experience recently which has afforded her
friends much amusement.
She has been expecting a visit from her
.youngest , brother , whom , gho had" not t-cen

band telephoned from his office that the
brother had arrived in town and that he
would bo up to the house .sometime In the
afternoon. In order that 'his wlfo might
recognize her little brother at sight the
husband added that "John was quite lame
and carried a satchel. "
The North Omaha woman watched Im

young man , very lame and carrying a heavy
satchel , came up the street and passe"d before -

go. lie was passing painfully on when the
anxious woman , fully convinced as to ha !

and ran to the door to admit him.
"How very lame you are. " she exclaimed ,
when she had kissed him affectionately and
lead him Into the house.
"Yes , " the young fellow answered , "I
stepped on a rusty nail some days ago and
my fool h very painful. "
He rank Into a chair exhausted and tin

Ills experience during the evening whlcf
forms the blackest page In the history ol

words :
IIEAUD UNCOLN COMMEND GRANT.
"About G o'clock In the evening ot April
M , ISCfi , Lincoln addressed the people fro a
the bouth window of the portico of the white
house. I stood at a distance of about 10 (
Ccet , hearing distinctly every word that was
uttered. The president spoke with greal
feeling , cs If a heavy load had been removci !
from his heart. He commended General
Grant's words to the confederate soldiers ,
that they should return to their homes and
the pursuits of peace aud ho faltlu'ul to the
government. This , he took as a text. TK !
latter part of his speech w'as tilled with
expressions of regard and sympathy for the
south. Leniency was to be hla policy to
ward the late enemies of the union.
"The president announced that his lime
was limited , as he was going to attend the
theater that evening. He spake In all about
thirty or forty minutes. On hearing the
president announce that ho would attend
the theater. I hastened to the theater ami
went In at once , securing a seat near the
front , directly under the boxes on the loft
liand side facing the stage.
"When the president and his party came
in they occupied the box directly above me
at n distance of not more than eighteen Ceet.
The box was draped with Hags and the stars
and stripes were liberally displayed all over
Hie house. Every eeat In the theater w.is
Illlcd , and the crowd cheered the presidential
parly as It apparcd In the box.
THOUGHT-IT IM.HT OF THE PLAY. , ,
"The play had progressed to the second
scene of the third act , when suddenly , a
shot was heard. The arst thought [ that
came to me was that the ohot and the com
motion which followed It was a pari of the
? lay , but almost In an Instant a form leaped
Jrom the president's box to the stage. I
saw that It war a man , and that he landed
upon one foot , the other tteing held by his
spur , which had caught In the large flag
Iraped from the president's box. He quickly
clcased his foot and faced the audience , wav-
ng a dagger which he held In his hand , and
crying 'Sic sempre tyrarans1 !
"As he faced the audience I recognized
the assassin. Booth had frequently dined
with Captain Eldrldge , one of the olllcers of
.he provost guard , and I had been Introduced
o Mm there. Ills facs was flushed as though
IB had been drinking heavily and he
seemed to be greatly excited.
"Every person In the audience seemed to
) o as greatly dumbfounded as I was and
inable to grasp the full force of what had
mppened. Every Holdler In the audience ,
ncludlng myself , drew his revolver , not
snowing but what a general attack was tote
to made upon us , but before wo recovered
our presence ot ml ml the principal actor
n the great tragedy had disappeared from
aur sight.

MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY.
"I was sitting so close to the stage that
I could almost touch It , and Hooth was
lot more than eight or ten feet from me
when he faced the audience on the stage
ind made that brief exclamation which has
jrcomo historic. I have thought many times
what a line opportunity I had to shoot the
illaln and I would gladly have done that
ery thing , but before any of u could
realize what had happened ho had dlrap-
icared through the rear middle entrance of
ho scne then occupying the stage.
"Somo one In the president's box cried
jut , 'Lincoln Is shot ! ' and the crowd began
o move towards the doors in a solid mass ,
n the meantime the police arrived on the
5ccno and compelled the people to preserve-
artier. It was nearly an hour before I suc-
"eetleil In getting out on the street. By this
line the streets all around the theater we-e
crowded with people.
"An olllcer was standing at the door and as
came out ho ordered mo to 'fall In' with
\ lot of other poldlers who were standing In
nnk in front of the door. I replied that
had n pats signed hy the captain of my
company ( jiving me authority to be away

DETAILED TO GUARD A IIRIDGE.
"When wo arrived at headquarters I was
ordered by Colonel Illack to take a , detail of
hlrty men and proceed to Hock creek
> rldge , between Washington and George-
own. My orders were to let every ono go
ipon thu bridge , but to let no one go off.
"I marched with my men to the bridge
mil remained on duty there all night. Dur-
ng the- march there we heard many rumors
o the effect that Seward and Grant Iiad
been assassinated.
"When morning broke wo marched to
leadquarters with 'a crowd of 700 people
vhom we had collected upon the bridge
luring the night. They were of all agca ,
'lasres and conditions. There were rich
md poor , people In line clothes and people

tnd white , all In one Indiscriminate mix-
urc. They were all closely questioned by
'rovost Marshal General Auger and all were
eleascd.
"Tho city was ordered draped In mourn-

Foil God , niaspa , I has no crepe ! ' 'Well ,

An Incident occurred In the elaborate ! )
appointed dining room of a swell Omalu
club the other day that was amusing t (
some , embarrassing to others and exceed
Ingly serious for the principal actor In th <
little play.
A well known young man about town
the son of a prominent family , was dowr
town about noon time. Ho chanced to meel
two young women who have been more 01
less conspicuous In the principal soclct }
functions of the season. He hadn't a ceul
In his pocket , but that didn't count will ;
him. Ho wanted toshow them that he was
a good fellow. So after a few minutes' con
versation he cordially requested them tc
take luncheon with him nt the club. Girl-
llko each protested nt first , but soon com
promised by completely agreeing to his sug
gestion.
The waiters didn't rush to pull out the
three choirs and none of them tumbled ovei
themselves In taking the wraps of the
guests. Hut finally the order was taken ,
It called for n good , substantial luncheon
some less polite and more hungry people
would have called It a dinner for three ,
The young man , started In to tell Jokes ami
talk gossip till the first course arrived , bill
he , ran short of stories and was" rehearsing
Omaha society small talk of three years
ago before ho caught sight of a waiter ,
The girls were ever so pleasant , and
chatted merrily to help pass away the time ,
And still the waller didn't come back with
the order. They all talked some more ,
Other folks who had come In much later
had been served , eaten their luncheons and
gone out. The young man grew nervous
and said he couldn't understand the delay ,
The pair of queens , for they really were ,
suggested that some unfortunate accident
had happened In the kitchen , but they ex
pected everything would be along soon.
The host couldn't stand It any longer. Thoj
had waited over an hour It had seemed like
a day to him. Excusing himself , he went
over to one of the wa'ters ' and demanded
that the waiter who had taken his order be
sent to him. The dark man who was wanted
soon appeared and when ho had said some
thing to the young- host the countenance ol
Iho latter fell more ithan forty degrees. The
liost was embarrassed , bla cheeks colored a
bit , but ho retained sufficient of his com
posure to excuse himself from the table for
a minute. <
He went over to a table near by , where one
of his friends was seated with his wife. He
said to him : "See here , old man , I'm In a
fix and you must 'help ir.e out. I've brought
f. couple ot girls here to lunch. I haven't
i cent In my pockets and the waiter says thw
steward hag had Instructions not to seive-
anything to me unless It Is paid for at the
.Inie. Did you ever hear of such Imper
tinence ? Now , for heaven's sake , old man ,
ask us all over to Join you and Mrs. Blank
and we'll nil eat - togetherIf you don't I'm
a goner , and them think of the position of
the girls.
The ifrlend listened to the appeal of the
penniless host without txhlblting the least
bit of Interest. He fe't ' llko kicking him
out of the room , but then ho thought of thu
girls. Then were friends of his and he
wouldn't have them mortified fc r the world.

So the friend are ? a and , going over to the

OMAHA , Feb. 13. To the Editor of The
Bee. : Will you kindly allow space to ex
plain the difference between the various
organizations of engineers ?
1. There Is the National Association of
Stationary Engineers which Is governed by
this declaration of preambles :
"This association shall at no time be used
for the furtherance of strikes , or In any
way Interfere between Its members and
their employers In regard to wages , recog
nizing the Identity of Interests between em
ployer and employe ; not countenancing any
project or enterprise that will Interfere with
perfect harmony between them ; neither
shall it be used for political purposes. Its
meetings shall bo devoted to the business
of the nssoclation , and nt nil times prefer
ence shall be given to the educating and
helping work contemplated In the formation
of this order. "
This , you can see , bars no man from fol
lowing his vocation In peace at all times If
ho bo qualified , and Is always treated with
courtesy , whether ho belongs to our associ
ation or not , but It Is .preferable to have
men who alflllate In the 'principles we enun
ciate. Therefore , In the case of Mr. Neil-
man , the National Association of Stationary
Engineers had nothing whatever to do with
his prosecution , and the matter has never
been before this association In' any way
for discussion.
But as to the paying of $3 each year fern
n renewal of license , that has always been
considered nnd characterized ns a plcco of
robbery to bolster up certain parties In
their struggle for further advancements
Into the political arena , and further wo do
not consider that .a man who would approach
preach a Judge with threats or promises
Is entitled to any consideration by the Na
tional Association ( of Stationary Engineers
or by the Stationary Engineers' union , as
such cases should be tried upon their merits
and without prejudice. ENGINEER.

ris said Nebraska grew moro different kinds
of trees than any state In the union , It be
Ing In the center of thu United States. It
was by nature the dumping ground of the
north ; south , cast , and west. He advised
everybody to plant trees nnd beautify thrir

IOWA SOIL FOR SUGAIl BEETS.
CHEROKEE , la. , Feb. 14. ( Special. ) The
Cherokee County Farmers' InsUtuto was In
session two days. The mooting \vns a de
cided success In every sense of the word , it
excelled last year's mooting In the point of
attendance and the number of questions and
subjects brought before the convention. At
: ho afternoon ami evening meeMngs of the
first , as well as the second day , the crowd
was unable to nil get Into the assembly
room of the court house , and a great many
were compelled to stand in the corrllors.
At the evening session of the first day
a lecture by C. F. Curtiss of Ames was the
'eaturc. ' Mr. Curtlss' subject was. "Agrlcul-
ura as a Branch of Public Instruction , "
Air. Curtiss spoke of the changed conditions
of agriculture In this state In the last few
years nnd showed that the produc'1-.m of
train had outrun the production of slock.
Phis throwing of the products out ot bal
ance necessarily brought on an economic
dl&turlianco disastrous to business. He
said the production of dairy products , Teats ,
cotton nnd sugar did not rob the soil Iiko
he growing of grain , and , besides , it only
test $50 to ship $1,000 worth of butter to
market , while it costs $1,000 to ship $1,000
vorth of corn ( bought here ) to market. The
> rofcssor Is nil nrdent believer In the doc-
rlne that this country ought to , and finally
vill , produce Its own sugar. He spoke iil-out
diversity of farming , and showed the ad-
antago of root culture , and said that cultl-
atfng the sugar beet Is not such a drudgery
as many people think. Ho said 'ho Iowa
> eet had 2 per cent more sugar In It than
ho German beet , yet the German people are
exporting sugar to this country. Ho said :
'Our soil Is the best la the world for grow-
ng the sugar beet , all of which has been
ested and thoroughly demonstrated In the
experiments at Ames. "
The sugar beet question was discussed at
ength by the convention , and It can safely
) o said' that as a result tncro will bo some
experiments made In that line during thu
coming season by farmers in this county.
There were many other papers read and
ubjcots discussed that cannot- fall to have
a desirable effect upon the farmers of the
ounty , as n deep Interest was manifested
> y all , and every point o/ Interest was
irought to the surface and thoroughly dis-
usscd.
The subject , "Landlord and Tenant"
jrought forth a heated discussion , and It was
nally decided , almost unanimously , that the
hare method wds the fairest and most sat-
sfactory plan.
WINS THE ESSAY PRIZE.
The contest for the essay prize was won
y MUs Ethel White. This proved to bo a
cry Interesting feature of the program.
After adopting the following resolution
lie convention adjourned.
Whereas , The ppeclal session of the Iowa
oglslaUiro now In session at Des .Molncs
o consider the adoption of 11 new code has
> eforc lt a proposition to compel the vnrl
us assessors In the state to return al
iroporty , real nnd personal , ut Its ful
"alue , nnd
Whereas , The proposed new law clothcf
he assessor with Imiulsltnrial powers noi
icrctofore given to these olilccrs ; there-
ore , bo It
Resolved , by the farmers of Cherokee
ounty. In Institute assembled , That we
ppose this proposed new law because nn
ncrensed valuation of property , cither rea'
r personal , without a corresponding de
rease In the levies for the several funds ,
H bound to result In an Increase * of taxes ,
burden at this tlmo which the farmers
nd property owners of Iowa are not pro-
arcd to meet. AVe are of opinion that
lie old plan of assessment 1ms adapted
self to the conditions of thu state and
mt It answers the purpose now bettor than
uy now system that could bo devised ,
f any change nt all Is to bo made In the
aw It ought to bo made In the direction
> f decreasing the levies Instead of Incrcas-
ug the valuation. AVe bellevo a further
ffoet of the proposed legislation will bo
o drive millions of dollars now Invested
n this state into other states and Into
thcr investments , We | petition our county
eprcsentatlve , lion , AVlrcman Miller , and
nstruct our state senator , Hon. A. C , Ho-
mrt. to MHO their power to the utmost
o prevent this change in the- law , and thus
unnerve the Interests of the people of this
ounty.
Prof , Curtiss opened the program the sec-
nd day with a lecture on "Tho Dairy In-
crests of the Farm. " commanded the
ndlvlded attention ot his audience from
10 start to the cloao of the discourse. The
subject was handled by the speaker In a
masterly manner. The day's program wan
carried out to the letter before a house
packed to suffocation. Tha evening session
\\-aa \ moro of a musical nature and those
, vho furnished It acquitted themselves In a
: rcdltable manner.

A Sweating Process
If our New York buyer doesn't earn his money no man
does , For months he has walked up and down Broadway - *
way amongst the manufacturers' offices to find a man
who is willing to sell us sweaters at less than we have
been accustomed to paying heretofore. Of course it
wasn't easy work , for The Nebraska is known amongst
sweater makers as the house that gets goods too low ;
but in consideration of an extra heavy order and the cash
in advance he was able to induce a manufacturer to'
make us up a line of sweaters which we will sell to Ne
braska customers this spring at nearer to actual cost of
materials than sweaters have ever been offered in thssc
parts before now , These goods arc now in process of
manufacture and in due time we will announce their
arrival here. In the meantime we are selling Men's
Worsted Sweaters in Navy Blue , Black and Maroon for
one dollar each which cannot be bought at wholesale
today for anywhere near that price. If you are in a
sweat for a sweater come in and sec some with tha
profits all sweated out.
Cata 'oguc now ready. Send name.
