Walter Channlng Wyman ot ChlcaRo ,
vell known In connection with the anthro
pological department ot the World's fair ,
and n sttulcnl of the American Indian who
Has collected . largo number of rare und
Inf resting artlclcH of Indian manufacture ,
Is inking an active Interest la the bill re
cently Introduced In "congress by Senator
\V. V. Allen , providing for an appioiula-
at thp Transmls-
tlon for an Indian exhibit
elsslppl Exposition. Mr. Wyman has also
been In correspondence with the manage
ment of the exposition for same tlmo ro-
gardlng this matter and has made a num
ber ot suggestions ns to She general form
of such an exhibit , the suggestions being
based on bis extensive experience- and ob-
B.rvatlon of the Indian.
Mr. Wyman wrote to Senator Allen last
week suggesting a plnu for on exhibit and
tent a copy of the letter to E. Ilosewatcr.
who has been working actively to bring
under the direction
about a big Indian exhibit
tion ot the government In connection with
the exposition. In this letter 'Mr.Vymati '
suggests that groups from the most pictur
esque tribes of Indians bfi camped on the
nvnmiiinn iTiuiiuls for a month at a time.

the groups following ono another In such -i
trlb's on o > -
way as to have one or more
lilbltlon all the time , living in tnelr char
acteristic tepees and giving their peculiar
dances and other ceremonies. In addition
to these groups Mr. 'Wyman ' tuggsta an
extensive collection of accoutrements , Im
plements , utensils , weaving , etc. , along
with the various specimens ot archaeology
from the different western states closely
associated with Indian history. Ho suggests
that thcHC articles bo exhibited In a blocl !
house erected In the center of the camp
ot Indians , riprescntlng the two opposing
elements which were foremost In the early
frontier days.
Mr. Wymnn lays particular stress upon
the factor of time In making such an ex
hibit. He says the collection of an exhibit
which would bo representative nnd credit
able would require extensive Journeylnss
among the distant Indian reservations and
the purchasing of desirable specimens from
those tribes. He calls attention to the fact
that the archaeological and ethnological
exhibit at the World's fair was not ready
for exhibition until three months after the
fair opened , notwithstanding this feature of
the show was one of the first to provided
for.
for.In closing his letter Mr. Wyman says
"The encroachments of civilization are so
rapid among the Indians , and thu advanc
Ing ago of the aboriginal chiefs and war
rlors so marked , It Is safe to say this op
portunity may be looked upon us the last
one for the American people to see the best
examples ot this race In their -wild condi
tion of fantastic dress and Interesting cere
monies. "

John K. Goudy , United States consul gen
eral at Paris , France , writes to the Depart
ment ot Publicity and Promotion from Paris
under < latu of December 7 to the effect that
l > o Is using every means In Ills power to
advance the interests ot the exposition
ainong the people of Franco. Ho suggeew
< hat the Unltcvi Sta'tcn minister to Krauce
be urged to lay 'the ' matter before the gov
ernment 'dlllclally , "but .Hits has probably
been done ibeforo this ( fnie , as the , usual
rouna of rod tape ' was started " several
months ago through the regular official
channels. Mr. Goudy encloses a letter ad-
drasscd to him by the president of the Parla
Chamber of Commerce , acknowledging the
receipt of the prospectus ot the exposUlon
and promising to lay the matter before the
chamber. The president says the chamber
will not fall to take action as soon as the
government or Franco asks It to participate
and ho expresses a deslro to do all In hi
power 'to extend the friendly relations be
tween the two countries.
Sunday nt tinCrouml * .
The exposition grounds presented an ani
mated appearance jesterday. Notwith
standing the threatening aspect of the
weather during the afternoon , a gooJly num
her of people visited the grounds many to
enjoy the sWUIng , others to experience the
feeling of falling oft a house furnished by
the toboggan slide and the remainder to In-
npect the progress made during the week on
the buildings and to watch the merry
makers. The attendance was not to large
ns on former Sundays , but the crowd waa
large enough not to look lonesome.
Whllo the snow was falling scrapers were
kept ibuslly at work clearing the Ice and the
crowds of skaters were given an opportunity
to enjoy the sport to the utmost.
Work on most of thu buildings progrensed
ns usual and the nolso of the hammer added
to the guy shouts of the merry crowd.

MiittiTH llffori * tin * Council.
It 4s expected that several matters of Im
portance will come up at the meeting of
the city osuncll to be held this evening.
Several vetoes from the mayor relating to
yldewalks aud electric street lights are to
bo re-ad and voted on. Thtci there Is the or-
dlruinco requiring electric lights to be main
tained at railroad crossings to be reported
mi by 'tho judiciary committee a id the mat
ter of a flagman at the Elkhorn and Mis
souri Pacific crossings at t-c boulevard. It
Is understood that the railroads mentioned
are dot opposed to placing \vUdiman at
this crossing , but olUclals ot these companies
aaicrt that the stock jards company ought
to pay Its share of the expense , as It has
tracks crossing the boulevard at the same
place. Tlio special committee appointed a
week > igo to confer with otllclals of the rail
roads will. It Is expected , make a report.
A report from iho special committee ap-
poVitcd to Investigate I5e city printing bids
will bo looked for , but It 1s thought that
nothing can be done about the matter now ,
as 'tho change In the owucrshlp of the lacal
paper * hau Invalidated the blda. Some action
will likely be Mkcn In regard to the assess
ment for the 'Missouri avenue sower. Tne
committee on streets and alleys 'Will meet
this aftcinoon at 'the ofllcc of thq city en
gineer to listen to complaints of property
oweiers. Slnco the protesting property own
ers have como > to understand this matter , the
city engineer having had several conferences
with them , It Is thought that the reman
strancca will bo withdrawn and tbo assess
ment 03 originally made allowed to stand ,

Yesterday a new switchboard -was placed
In position In the tele-phono exchange. Tola
was made necessary in order to accoinm date
the rapidly Increasing list of subscribers.
The switchboard In use now is able to ac
commodate only 250 subscribers. Within the
last few days orders for so vnany telephones
have been received that a temporary switch
board had to be place. ! . In service. On Janu

Hov. S. Wright Duller of the St. Mary's
Avenvio Congregational church yesterday
mou/ing expounded from hla pulpit a theory
of extreme progression , at times almost
startling , His term on tended to destroy the
faith ot his llntiiicrs In those stable and
humdrum habits ot llfo which arc bised on
the old proverb that a "rolling stone gathers
no moss , " for ho maintained that a e'.ono
which did not roll could gain no polish.
"tho scientist walking In the fields , " he
said , "docs not stop to examine the mesa
covered s-tono over which the brook has
flowed tor thousands of 'j < tirs. HO picks up
tha rock which has fallen from thd cliffs ot
Labrador and ius been washed and carried
to where It was fouud. The flying meteorite
Is the stone which Is housed In museums and
attracts the attention of every one. "
The listeners \ > ere proddctl td advance
ment and progression throughout the ser
mon , 'which was entitled "We Arc Pilgrims. "
The theory was advocated to a startling ex-
tienu- , for the minister said : "I believe iat
Count Castellanc Is wise in epencl'.lig the
millions of Anna Gould ; I believe that every
young spendthrift Is wise In spending the
nvllllons which ils father acquired by thrift. "
The sermon , waj a protest against any es
tablished , fixed , permanent wttlcJ-down eru
dition of mtu. Ilcv. Dr. Hutlcr admitted that
thcru Is llltlo chance ot any ot his iicarcrs
to become pilgrims in a materialistic sense
of the word , since there arc but few worlds
to discover or conquer , but he maliTtnlrii that
they tun all become pilgrims In spirit. They
can enjoy Uio ecstasy of Newton , -when 5ie
discovered the principle of gravitation ; ot
Pythagoras , when he found Hie theory of
specific gravity ; of our own Franklin. The
pilgrimage will have Its costs It means loss
and cold , the trampling upon things familiar
and traveling on cci unfamiliar way but be
sides the pleasure given by advance and ad-
vcnturo reward will be given by posterity
with compound Interest.
PILGRIMAGES THAT PAID.
"Spain laughed at Columbus , " said thu
preacher , "but It has erected an epitaph to
h ! work. Germany laughed at and cast out
Luther , but It has since- recognized him.
Old Knglaad harried the Pilgrim fathers ,
but It has ohice admired Now England and
the Pilgrim spirit. Those fcjllows , those pil
grims , were the preservers of permanence. "
Ir Duller hid a good njny morals for
his congregation. He fcald : "Don t laugh at
any ono If he telte jou he Intends to turn
over a new leaf on Now Year's. Let him turn
over a new leaf , If It does not last more than
six montba. " He also gives' the following
advice "Don't be a Klondlker , going \.p
the Yukon and then coming back. Go for
ward. If > ou are a pl'grlm at home s-tr've to
have a better home today than yesterday.
If a pilgrim In the library seek more and
better knowledge today than you had jes-
terday. It In the oince try to bo more pro
gressive In business methods. Advance mor
ally. "
The preacher Ins'sted that there Is much
land In which the spirit may explore. He
hud no patience with those who speak of an
ed , for he teserted that only the Ignorant
My there Is nothing bejond. He continued-
"Wo are all seeking an age where politics
are mot equivalent to piracy , where business
latiot business , but where It mca-s the
giving of equal values , whrre preaching Is
not a profession. , , but Js God's word , where
society Is not aieelflsh EhumYa. bmtal herd
that leaves all behind to die who cannot
keep the pace. "
Dr. Qtitler concluded by point'ng out that
"
In all "pilgrimages a leader was LiOcesfiary.
Examples of the past showed this and thus
In- his pictured pilgrimages of the > spirit he
Insisted that every one should fall In behind
Jams Christ and keep step with Him. '

Rev. D. H. Kerr , president of Bellevue
college , occupied the pulpit of Westminster
Presbjterlan church yesterday morning and
preached a thoughtful discourse , which was
listonsd to by a fair-sized .congregation .
The sermon was based upon the text : "This
Is the word of the Lord , saying , 'Not by
might , nor by power , but by My spirit , '
salth the Lord of hosts. "
In his Introductory remarks the clergy
man explained the vision of which the
words of the text wera an interpretation.
The most significant thing In connection
with the vision was that there should bo
seen an olivetree , a ibowl and a lamp , the
oil flowing from the olive tree to the bowl
and from thence to the lamp , which w&3
kept filled andilburnltiK. Thu connection be
tween God and Ills people Is similar.and
there should be an outpouring of Ills spirit
among them all the time. To the leader nC
the hosts of Israel God has promised tbn :
the mountain of difficulty should become n ?
a plain by the favor and the power of God.
President Kerr said : "There Is need to
emphasize both parts ot tha text. U doesn't
mean by saying 'not by might , nor by
power' that wo are to ccaso to bo actlvo In
our religious work or that wo aio to give
up making any Christian eftort. The mean
ing Is that we shall present to Him for the
usa of His spirit our plans fie that they
may become His plans. It is all Ulo for us
to make plans for building up His kingdom
unless our plans are His pUns.
"Our plans are no good unless they are
large plcns. Christianity U really a large
undertaking. Sid la great and our plana
must ho larcc to cone acalnst sin. Durnlto
our efforts against einwe constantly sin
up ) Ins t God by omission and by commission.
Wo must try to convert souls. Wo know by
experience that wo car.aot really convert a
coul , but God expects us to labor an though
wo could. Conversion comes through His
working on tbeir hearts , but Ho uses our
efforts as a valuable Instrumentality , Wo
cannot convert the world , -but we are to labor
unceasingly that He by His eplrlt and our In-
E-trumei tallty may brlns obout this glorious
result.
"Wo must bo of great energy. AVe must
have a consuming energy. We are 'to spend
and bo apenl. ' Wo must put forth great ef
forts. Paul never shrank' from anything that
would advance , Goil's kingdom. Today we
too often f.nd people excusing themselves
from helping to build up Gcd-'s k ! gdom be

Ilov. W A. McKenzIe of Urockvllle , On
tario , occupied the pulpit at Uio First Prcs-
byiorlan Church yesterday and there was
an exceptionally large congregation at both
services. Hev. Dr. McKcnzlo Is an unas
suming but effective speaker. Ho talks
without apparent effort nivd hla sermons
were remarkably Interesting ami practical.
At the morning service ho drtw a moral
abject lesson from 'the Tower of Babel and
the Incidents that accompanied Its construc
tion. Ills text was the command In which
the enterprise originated , "Go to , let us
.build us a city anj a tower that shall reach
unto the heavens , and make ua a name , lest
wo > bo scattered over the face of the whale
earth. " He first spoke 'briefly ' ot the mam-
mc'th ' proportions and architectural fcaturto
of the vast edifice and then considered la !
archlteoturo from a moral standpoint ! Ho
eontended that the 'builders ' were wrong be
cause they ibullt from wrong motives nnd In
disobedience to God. In , the flrjl place the
Inundation of the structure was scinshnctis.
They had salj "Let us make us a name. "
Sclftehntas was ono of the greatest sins ot
that ago as well as of the present. Oc-J
did not nay BO much about the dlsslpateU
man , but ho hit the selfish man at every
turn. The sla Is common to all. Even pro
fessing Christians , when they throw up a
shower ot charity , are very apt Co manage
to bo under some of It when It cornea down.
The motive of the .builders Involved dis
obedience to God , for God < lld not make
this beautiful world for people to huddle
together In a corner. It coul < \ makci no dif
ference how noble a tower they might build ,
-would ' not bo acceptable to God when dls-
obo.llenco was at Its foundation.
The speaker declared that there Is a more
sublime architecture 'than ' the construction
of any tower. That Is the building of char-
actor. The subject teaches 'that there is a
right ambition and a wrong ambition. Wo I
should not ibulld from scinah motives. Wo
should lut our ambition bo noble and self-
sacrificing and not allow It to do a mean
thing. What would It profit a man to gain
> : ho whole world actl to UB-J his own soul ?
The greatest ambition Is to keep moving on
ward and upward and nearer to 'tho heart
ot the Omnipotent.

Ilcv. Ilr. Curry TcllN HIMV Ooil'HV ril
IIulIilN Up , Ills Kingdom.
ttev. E. n. Curry or Jackson , Mich. ,
preached at the Beth-Eden Daptist church
yesterday.
Dr. Curry Is n person of considerable
magnetism and is n powerful speaker. Hla
address yesterday was on the theme. ' 'God'a
word and God's power , " as exemplified In
verse ot I Corinthians which reads : "But
the kingdom of God : Is not In the word , but
In the power. " The power ot Christianity
in Its Inception was but slender. In the days
of Jerusalem , when Christ lail down the
basic principles of1 the rsllglon , .ho follow
ing was but small. The flrst Christian
church of the ancient city of Palestine had
as Its congregation only the disciples of
Jesus. The city had a population ot over
200,000 souls , -yet after many months' ex
istence the church , founded by Christ pos-
asssed a membership of only 130. Us leadens
were 'not menof profound 'study , but for
the most part were recruited ifrom the lower
walks of life- .
Tlmo went on and "with Peter as the
head priest the little flock grsw. This re
sult was not due'to the eloquence of the
speaker. It was- > brought about by an un
seen force which manifested Itself In hla
teachings. Simplicity and purity marked
every utterance of the preacher and of the
members of his church. Their sermons car
ried conviction with them , with n
little short of miraculous. The people whew
w ra brought into contact with theie early
Christians marveled nt the lives they led
and at the- fonts nccomnllthcd by ( him. In

In Influence among bin follows and he was
subjected to persecution by them upon
many occasions , yet with the wordt ot the
Great Leader ringing In hl cars , ho was led
In the right direction. The force which
brought about these wonderful achievements
was not contained In the words uttered by
the followers ot Christ , but by the power
of Oed which carried palvullon with them
to the soul of the grouping sinner.
The speaker llluitratcd his remarks by
citing the case of the orophct , Mahomet , As
long as the teachings ot this priest followed
the laws of God , the people prospered , yet
the memento sought to modify them In
order to have them conform to n moro worldly
ccndltlcn of thlliRs they failed ot their into-
slon , The races which followed fell behind
In the progress of civilization , and degen
erated. A llto which allowed of worldllntss
was ot a life which conformed to the di
vine ruling. God Intended this should bo
so. Thcro Is nothlog worthy of attain
ment , In the eyes ot thn Creator , but wliat
la worthy of ati cITort or a sacrifice. This
law holds good throughout nature. Behind
all , however , there must bo a power to give
strength for an achievement , This strcngh
was God's nowcr. A power of lo\o Instilled
Into the humaa tieart which nhould worship
the giver otall good , a power which made the
will ot God evident and a love of Christ
possible , When the courage of Christianity
was possessed by the convert then all things
were easy. The trawcr of God might be
possessed by every one merely for the ack-
Itig , and uico the owner of It , the porinls
ot heaven were open toilrn who had earned
a reward through obedience.
In conclusion. Dr. Curry sold that the
power of God to lead a pure life might bo
attained only by prayer. Constant and un
remitting effort In this direction was always
crowned by success , Merely becoming ac-
_ qualnted with the words of God accom
i pllshcd nothing , but to possess the power
which led to a better llfo was gained only
through constant communion with Him on
high.
