H was probably the consideration of thcso
lilngs which suggested to Rev. Campbell
" "air , dean of Trinity cathedral , the Idea of
living up the whole of yesterday'a services
o a review ot the life and record of Queen
Victoria In connection with the Jubilee cele-
iratlon Further than that lt will deliver
lecture ono night this week on Victoria's
I\ty years of the nineteenth century ,
YcstenHy morning the dean's discourse
realed of the life of the queen her parent-
go , her early training , her education , and
tor career as monarch. Last evening ho
reatcd of her character. He said her pr-
onil character summed up as follows : An
bollent child , an Intelligent scholar , a lov-
ng wife , n fond mother and a Just monarch.
She has certain characteristics , ho said ,
which stand out before the world , one of them
> elng her strict punctuality. She kept her
ngagemcnts , no matter at how Inconvenient
n hour they may have been set. She gave
ho attendants ot her household orders to
> o In waiting at a certain time , and when
hat tlmo arrived she appeared with watch
n hand , and walking down the line observed
low many wore present. The dean said her
punctuality was the secret of her success
ACCEPT NO GRATUITIES.
She la strictly honest. Her smallest debts
ro remembered and promptly paid. She
was not honest from policy , but from a sense
f duty. She paid her father's debts The
luke of Kent was not a wealthy man , and
after ho died , It the queen heard of a penny
10 owed she took cire of the obligation. She
Irovo a great deal upon the highways where
here were toll gates. As queen she was
ntltled to pass the gates without paying , but
his shn decllne-d to do , believing that those
ihou'd ' pay who could best enjoy the con-
cnlencca offered.
She Is stilctly conscientious She docs not
lo things on the Impulse of the moment , al-
hough to some extent an Impulsive woman.
Vhen documents are presented to her for
icr signature , she reads every word betore
signing them She will not attach her
slgniturc to anything she does not under
stand She respects the honest convictions
ol other people. An incident was cited of a
joting officer declining to drink wine even
rom her table. Other olllccrs rebuked him
'or what appeared to them to be a discoui-
tesy. The queen put a stop to this by nd-
dre'slng the officer : "Sir , there Is no com
pulsion at my table. Do as your conscience
llctaten. "
She is truly sympathetic. She Is a woman
of strong nvmpathy. nnd has suffered so
many sorrows she feels for others One of
he ( list cablegrams or letters received In
his country after the assassination of Pres-
dent Lincoln was a letter trom the queen
to Mrs Lincoln , full of love and of such
words as one con owing woman would send
to another. Mrs Garfleld was likewise as
sured that England's heart was throbbing
for America's sorrow. She liao taken ad
vantage of every opportunity for showing
ler sympathy for the United States , and It
las been manifested lovingly , thoughtfully
wisely An Incident was related where
the death warrant of a soldier was sent to
ler to sign She Investigated and thought
she found occasion for gtanting a reprieve
She Investigated further and thought she
might giant a pardon She took up the wir-
rant nnd In largo letters wrote across the
'nco of It "Paidoncd Victoria R. " She
learned that ho had a wife dying with con
sumption and a child , a helpless cripple
and the sjmpithetlc heart of England's
queen was touched
She shows Independence , and sometimes
imperlouoness It would be a surprise If
she did not One of the first lesoons to be
taught Is Independence
KIND LESSON TO FRIENDS
The historian sajs she Is kind-hearted
When she Is at her homo In Scotland , she
spends much of her tlmo going from home
to homo among the lowly , bringing good
rhrer to the occupants She Is also generous
hearted , giving freely to every public cause
and charity. Several years ago a number of
women fought to make her a valuable prea
cut In token ot their esteem. She declined
to accept It and told them to take the
money and put trained nurses In the field
to work among the sick who could not
afford to be taken to hospitals. As a result
of that sacrifice there are now 700 trained
nurses laboring In a noble cause In Eng-
lind , Ireland and Scotland. A short time
ago she called for thorn to appear before
her. On the appointed day MO of tln-m
passed before her , and before leaving thej
united In singing "Ood Save the Queen "
She Is deeply religious and honors God's
day. A plenipotentiary from a foreign
power anlvexl at her court on Sunday. He
was anxious to have his commission ac
cepted at once and appeared befoio her. She
waved him away , as she could not attend
to such matters on the Lord's day The Importance -
portanco ot the case was urg d , but It did
no good When an appointment was asked
for she fixed G o'clock In the morning. This
was too early for the envoy , nnd a com
promise was fixed for 8 o'clock. The Lord's
day Is observed In the palace vvhcnc\ei
posflblu. It was the h-iblt for the band to
pliy at the palace during the dinner hour
It had Its rehearsals In Iho morning One
Sunday morning two of the muslcHnn de
clined to rehearse , and were dlsmlrsed The
queen heard ot It and ordeied them reinstated
and prohibited any further rehearsals on
Sunday She honors God's day and God'3
book Her children wcro taught the bible
It Is h r ardent dcslro to have the bible ono
of the leissons for her children and grand
children She was once asked the cause of
England's greatness , and she held up nn
open blblo The event formej the subjepl
for a celebrated picture She honors Goi'a
church. She knows what law Is , She ex
pects her law to bo obe > od and wanta God's
law likewise obeyed.
She Is not a bigot She Is n strong Eplsco-
pillan In England , a loving Presbitcrlan In
Scotland , and rccognUcs the moro liberal life
among her subjects Reverent she elands out
today for us as an example , Tor sixty years
a monarch , and for sixty years none have
dared to charge her with being other than a
pure Christian. American citizens as wo all
are wo yd. honor her for her many \lrfues
God honor her , God make her happy Hers
Is a remarkable reign over a remarkable people

"She hath done what she could" was the
significant text from which Rev J M YII
son , pastor of tJie Castellar Presbyterian
church , jesterday morning preached a Ber-
inon In honor ot the empress-queen's Jubilee
Ho said that the words Christ had used In
praising the woman who had annolnted his
held with oil constituted the highest en
comium which could bo placed on any man
or woman
The preacher first called attention to the
careful manner In which Victoria as a elr !
had hern trained , and how thoroughly she
had been educated. Her parents In training
her for h i llfo'u work had b en solicitous
about her health He believed that a souut !
mind In u round body always produced the
? reateet efficiency Victoria was tul.cn
aTcfs the kingdom she should tome day gov
ern uud inuilo acquainted with the people
She was aUnbrought up In a religious man
ner , there Jielng' no home In all Kngland
where the Vlblp'nas more studied or the
principles of Christianity more thoroughly
taught
At Victoria's , eoroiifll'on ' the people were
astounded tMearn of her familiarity with
affairs of stale 4nd her ability to preside
over the kingdom During her reign the
condition ot a great mess of the working
olas'e-s and illip o > oor people has been Im
proved Witt1 the ? carl of Shaftcsbury , Queen
Victoria had regulated child labor In fac
tories and mines , built nsvlums and hospitals
and promote ! ' Mier social reforms The
prisons hadibcert changed from clttngpons of
despair to lufltliutions of rpal reform
Concerning tho. , ronqiie"ts of the- past sixty
joars In South' Africa , Hev. Mr Wilson said
hr- doubted It Queen Victoria really had had
much to do with the manipulations there
He- could not bellcvo that she was at all re-
sponslblo for the Hoer war , or other ex
hibitions of llrltlsh greed In endeavoring to
form a South African confederacy of Hrltlsh
states He alluded to the advance of liter
ature , science and art during Iho past sixty
jcars , and spolto brlelly of the acquisition ot
India
Melbourne , llobjrt Peel. John might. John
Cobden , Benjamin Disraeli and William
Gladstone \verp mentioned as the ! great men
who had been associated with the government
of Great Britain during Queen Victoria's
reign Of these the speaker pronounced
Disraeli and Gladstonn by far iho greatest
These two stood out as the truly great mon
of the British kingdom of the part sixty
jcars Queen Victoria , together with her
husband , Prince Albert , was most Instru
mental In preventing warfare with the
United States during the late war of the re
bellion For this reason alone Americans
should be thankful to the cmpre'ss-queeii.
In summing up the characteristics of
Queen Victoria , Rev. ilr. Wilson said tint
she possessed a largo amount of common
sense She was not endowed with the bril
liant qualities of Queen Ellrabcth , but she
seemed to know the right thing to do and
md the common sense to go ahead and do
t. She had over been governed by n pro-
ound sense of duty , and conscience was al-
wajs better than policy. Her great benevo-
enco to her servants , to her friends , to her
nmlly. but most of all to her subjects , had
been again evidenced when she fniBgestod
as the most appropriate celebration of this
ublloo : "Let us take up gifts and give
horn to the poor. " But Victoria's best char
acteristic was her protound fear of God
She had alvvnjs feared God and kept his
commandments.

'It ' has been her Christianity that hat
nado the life and reign of Victoria stand
pro-eminent above the lives and reigns of
ho queens of all the ages" That was HIP
central thread In the sermon that Rev. John
Gordon of the Westminster Presbyterian
church preached yesterday morning , his
oplc being "Queen Victoria " A little of a
ublleo air was Imparted to the sacred edifice
jy the draping of a British nag to one sldo
of the pulpit Upon the other bide bung the
stars and stilpes
Pastor Gordoil dissected the career of the
British sovereign and regarded her In the
Ight of a woman , a wife , a mother and a
ruler. In all tlieso respects ho maintained
that she excelled 'every ' other woman who
iad ever occupied a royal throne. And he
Maintained that her predecessois were ex
celled for the reason that they did not have
the Christianity she has
The world < ovveo her a great debt , as a
woman , the pastor atllrmed. She came to the
throne after Jthe evil days ot the Georges
when -\voman was dishonored and diaggecl
down as never before In the Anglo-Saxon
world. Women , from those who worked In
the mines tofthoso who wtro maids of the
court , were ( ill degraded. Victoria estab
lished a standard ot pure nnd honorable
womanhood that bag been adopted by all
the Anglo-Sa ton people of the earth
As a wife , continued the preacher , she
solved the greatest problem that could have
confronted her. She , Performed her duties
to the state and teed as the lord of all
lords. Including licr husband , and yet ren
dered to her husband such honor and love
as was clue him , and which caused him to
ho held in honor In tbo state. Thirty-six
jears ago she lost him , and during thefce
years of widowhood she has looked forward
to the tlmo when she would be reunited
with him In eternity.
Her duties as a mother were as well per
formed Nine children she has had , seven
of whom are still Ivlng During the slxtj
years of her married life the whole nation
has been looking to her home- life She
made her home the ideal one of her people
Finally , the speaker asserted , as r
queen , Victoria has always been the ruler
of her people She has surrounded herself
w 1th men of the hlgheot character , but In
all emergencies she has always come for
ward as the queen of thn British dominion.
Why is it that Victoria has been able to
hold her power for sixty \ears7 asked the
preacher. It is owing to the fact that she
has been supreme us a woman , a wife , a
mother and a queen , and above that , that
she lias been supreme In these qualltieo , be
cause she feared Qod. When she came to
the throne she stated that she would be
guided In her conduct by the revelations of
the Supicme Being In accordance with this
principle she has recognized herself as the
servant of God throughout her life She was
the head of not only the state , but nlno of
the church.
"This example of a woman who has shown
what It Is to ho a queen is a cry to everj
Irl and woman In the world , " stated th"
pastor , when he pointed out the moral of
his discourse. He said that with the fear
of God In her heart , every woman could be
lifted up into a kingdom or an empire where
she could perform the. duties of woman ,
wife and mother. If not of queen , like Vic
toria.

Now that Omaha Ins a mc'ropolltin fire
dcpirtment , ono which will rank with the
licst ot cities ot the firci class the old plu-
uee ro wHo have contributed to Its Mippoit
and watched Its growth thtoiiRh thtee
decades ol' jcats look back with prldo to its
modest origin.
Iho birth of the department took plnco hi
the fall of 1SGO Omaha was A sturdy > oun-
sler at that time with Its mushroom ftamo
structures scattered about upon the breezy
tableland which toda ) forms the buolnc s
centei of the city. Everything wua ot
wooden construction , > ct the street. ? were
btoael and the structures low , and little fear
v\aa entertained of a conllaKraUon The In-
InbltJnti ot the hustling little burg awoke
from their dreams of security ono dav with
an abrup'nesa which was more startling
than agreeable.
A flro slatted ono afternoon In the old
general merchandise store which was lo-
cited on the ground no < occupied b > the
Paxton hotel It burned briskly and the
proprlstor was obliged tj stand by with his
hands in his pockets and watch his llttla
yVeicIt of goods go up In smoke. A bucket
btlgado way formed , but Its woik was abor
tive.
tive.ThU
ThU was the first serious conflagration
over experienced In Omaha , and It dawned
upon the minds of the citizens that It wa4
tlmo to be up and doing. Agreeable to lhl
Idea , A. J. Slmrson In the spring of I'ToO
called a meeting of eight leprcsctitatlvo
townspeople and it was decided to organize
the first fire lighting brigade of Omaha. It
wag a volunteer company and theie was nu
chief , although Mr. Simpson was recognized
as lu nominal head.
Qt AL11MCATIONS OF MEMBERS.
The company went to work with a rest.
From the charter number ot olght members
the biipfule was rapidly augmented to fort )
The requisites for a inembetshlp were mott
exacting and In view of the present ex
amination nece'sary to n position on the do
paitment were rather peculiar The appli
cant foi fire fighting notion ; was icqnr ted
to leave his religion and polities behlnu
him , None but able-bodied men need nak
for recognition and a preference was given
to propeity ovstiers , ai It was knoi.ti that
their Interests would best advance those of i
the brigade. i
Among those whose names appear on the
'

The appnrrtus consisted of a primitive four- ] i
wheeled liuck plenteously supplied with rude i
laddeis and buckets and decorated with a liberal - I
oral quantltv of red paint The brigade did
excellent work on the small blazes which I
broke out from time to time till In 1SCC it j
became Imperative to Increase the lire fighting
facilities of the organization. Previous ( o
that 3ear the work of quenching the flames
had been performed b > means of the "bucket
brigade. " When the fire was located a double
line ot men was formed between the near
est uatci supply and the burning building ,
and the buckets were passed along fiom
hand to hand and thrown upon the blaze.
The other line of men passed them back to
the well or cistern and they were refilled. |
BUY A HAND ENGINE |
In ISCfi A. J Simpson went to Davenport
nnd bought a hand engine. It was dubbed the
"Flro King , " and the town turned out in a
body to welcome the new acquisition to the
department. During the Interim of jcara
from the organization of the depirtment up
to the purchase of the hand pump there was
no chief. Upon tha placing In sctvlco of the
'Tire King" A. J. Simpson was unanimously {
appointed to this position by the city council
and thus ho became the first flro chief of
the fire department. '
Chief Simpson acted as head of the depart
ment during the jcars of 1SGG , 1867 and 18C8.
No fires of great magnitude occmred during
his term of office , jet what demands wcro
mndo upon the department were anuwcred
with promptness , and good work was performed -
formed Chief Simpson was at length obliged
to resign owing to calls of personal business.
During his period of service as chief the
first steam flro cnglno was added to the de
partment. This was in 1SG7. The engine was
called the "Omaha , " and was one of these
old rotaty machines which have long since
passed out of fashion. It was stationed en
TV. elfth street between Farnam and Douglas
The department was also Improved In many
ways , both as regards the drilling of thu
men and In the apparatus
Chief Simpson turned over his duties of
oflico to O P. Ingalls , who acted In this
capacity for ono jeat. Hio was then suc
ceeded by J. F. Phceley , who acted as head
of the d-partment dming the ) eapa of ISCi
and 1S70 It was during this period that the
flrat assistant chief was appointed In the
poison ot J. E. Markel. In the fall of 1801
the city purchased the second steam flro en
gine , which was called the "Flro King , " and
It wat , stations ! In old No 2 engine housa
on Tenth street The hand englno was rele
gated to the scrap pile.
GALLIGAN A FIRE FIGHTER.
J 13 Markel was appointed chief for the
years 1871 and 1S72 , and was succeeded by
Charles Simpson in 1873 H was In 1S7I that
J , J Galllgin , Omaha's most famous fire
fighter , was appointed. Galllgan had Beived

his work was charactciized from the first

Rclally. The destruction of the Grand Cen
tral hotel nt Fourteenth and Farnam streets ,
which occurred September 21 , 1S78 , attended
by the loss of five men. wis the first gre-it
flro himllcil by Galilean. The building wa
a veritable tinder bo < and was located In
the heart of the business section of the
city. Notwithstanding the fact that the
doomed building was aurromidcd on ever )
hand In tire traps , the blaze was confined to
Iho one structure and a fire which for a
tlmo eemed to tlmaten the entire city was
forced to e\pend Its energies within Us
