EXHIBITORS ARE INSTALLING DISPLAYS Snprrlnlrnrfrnt IInr.1t Kinds Hid Work Alreailr llenrlnir Krnlt In the Structure * 1 % round the Alain Court. . The favorable weather ot the kat week Contributed very materially to the progress at work on the exposition grounds and visi tors who had not seen the grounds since 4he prevloui Sunday were astonished at the many changes which had been wrought In the week. The transformation which has been going on for the last year Is approaching preaching consummation at a rapid rate and no doubt remains In the mind of the most pessimistic skeptic as to whether the exposition will be ready for the opening day. day.Tho The crcatcst Interest on the part of visi tors as well as on the part of the exposi tion authbrltlos naturally centers In the main court , as It Is here that the greatest transformation has taken place and the moat beautiful results arc being rapidly at tained , Dusv workmen are to be seen on every side and under their deft hands the work Is being rapidly completed. With the exception of the Art building the main bulldinL's are now practically finished and the work of Installing exhibits Is under way. Minor details remain to be completed on two or throe of the buildings , but these do not Interfere In any way with the oc cupancy of the buildings by such exhibitors as wish to commence the erection ot their booths. The colonnade * at the east end of the main court and the viaduct leading from the main court to the bluff tract are still under construction , but will be completed within the next two weeks. The park colonnades between tho' Machinery and Manufactures building on the north side ot the lagoon and between the Mines and L'.b- eral Arts buildings on the south side are ncarlng completion. The exterior of the Art building will be completed within the comlnc week and the Interior of this buildIng - Ing Is now In the hands of the painters and decorators. The Arch of States and the Girls' and Boys' building arc still in the hands of the carpenters and both will be ready for the staff workers by the first of neat wrek. PARKING AND PAVING. The terraces In front ot the Agricultural , Manufactures , Liberal Arts and Art build ings have teen sodded aul the rich green of the grass , contrasting with the dazzling white ot the buildings , gives a faint hint of the beauty which \\lll perva'Jo the entire court when the \\ork of the landscape gar dener Is complctcJ. The broad promenades at the top of the terraces , extending along tbo entire front of the bulldlngd , have been macadamized and graveled , and the paving of the promenade cxtcnullng entirely around the lagoon Us making rapid progress. Gray bHck Is being used for paving arourii the lago'n ' and red brick around the Mirror. The wide space In front of the Government build ing and the broad plaza extending eintirely around the threo-lobcd Mirror have been paved and the workmen are engaged In paving along either side of the lagoon. The walks through the covered colonnades have bean macadaml/ed. Special effort * ) are being ma'Je to pu."h work cu the electric fountain In the Mirror , and the contractor Is employing a large force of men to finish the lower portion of the fountain eo that the water may be turned Into the lagoon. The plera for the perma nent brligcs across the. lagoon at Twentieth street and the "docking" about th6 lagoon have been completed and as soon as the base of the fountain Is constructed the lagoon wll ! 1)3 ) filled with water ogalri. It Is expected that the water will be turned on Tuesday night. With the large supply pipes now con noted with the water mains , but a short tlmo will be required to fill the big basin. Tne marking of the floors of { he main buildings has been commenced. The spaces to bo occupied by the exhibitors are out lined with broad white llne.v pa'citeJ on the floor and each space Is indicated by the number of the exhibitor. Each exhibitor L ; euppllc.l with shipping labels marked with hlo number and when his goods arrive they are unloaded at the building designated on the labe-i and the goods deposited on thi pace corrcspcndliig with the number on the label. Thl. ' system was Revised by Su perintendent Ilnrdt of the Exhibits depart ment and all confusion Is thereby avolfloil When a prospective * exhibitor makes appli cation for space his application is numbered In the order ot Its receipt and this exhibitor l.s henceforth , for all exposition purposes known by hi.j number , and It Is this number which Is marked on the space assigned tc the exhibitor In the main building and which appears on the shipping labels.

The admirable company which Is making Its home at the Crelghton theater gave two excellent performances of "Moths" yester day. The presentation In the evening was even more worthy of commendation than tlmt ot the matinee and the work of the company , Individually and collectively , Is certain to Improve during the week ; but no one need wait a single night to PCO a thoroughly ade quate rendering of a most Interesting play. "Moths , " which will bo the chief vehicle of entertainment at the Crelghton all this week , la a diamatlzatlon of Oulda's novel of that name , which woo widely read a decade and a half ago. As will tie recalled , It Is the story of a pure and innocent girl a modest violet , transplanted suddenly Into a hot house full of noxious flowers ot garish hue. She is not contaminated ; one sees at the out set that she could not be ; and some of the pcoplo about her turn out not to be quite so red as they are painted ; but the tale ol her experiences \ a moving one and fur nishes material entirely sufficient for a play. In the role of Vera , Miss Kate Dilgllsh easily surpasses any and all of her former efforts on the Omaha stage , and gives an Im personation worthy to rank among the best ot Its kind. As the Ingenuous maiden of the earlier action , strong In her armor of purity and truth , she admirably fills the eye , the ear and the artistic appreciation ; and as the deeply Injured wife , no longer Innocent , but still herself unstained , she Is equally con vincing. It Is a pleasure to be able to be stow praise which Is so well deserved. Mire Herkeley Is the Lady Dolly and plays that exacting and ungrateful role with the nice disci Imlnation of a true artist. It is per haps needless to say that she dresses the part with her usual exquisite taste. Mrs. Hlgby undcrtakco conscientiously the minor role of the Duchess do Sonnaz , and vlvacioun little Miss Pollock scores a decided hit as the Independent and arm-hearted American girl. 'Mr. ' Smith Is well cast as Prince Zouroff. Hla flne > physique , powerful voice anl robusl style suit admirably the part of the vicious : rj tyrannical Russian. Mr. Green's Correze seems to err a trifle on the side of over- seriousness and undue deliberation , but II has manifest sincerity aMd refinement , ant such slight faults as It has at present are certain to disappear as he Is able more com pletely to merge himself In the character. Mr. Davla pla > s the comely duke with his accustomel gocd effect and doubtless would bo glad if the- book called upon him to say "doncherknow" a less number of times.Mr. . Euos unquestlcnably carries off a good share of the honors , as no often does by bis su perb perfanranco as Jura. The specialty features are more than com monly attractive this wctk. 'Mr. ' Gagnca Is a grateful legacy from last week , and sings a number of sentimental songs , ending with a spirited rerder'iv ? of "America , " In which he Invites the aullcuce to join. The Savins are an extremely clever team of grotesque acrobats , the female halt of the tram being very pretty , graceful and active , while her part-ier , besides being more "soople" than the generality of mm'dml. Is endowed with a peculiar tark cr cough which should be his fortune. Ml a Maud Mclntyre Is a comely young 'woman , wfco sings "Coon" songs with excellent effect. tuJ Irish and Dowcry dlttlea nearly M well. ( Miss Jf ssleCouthoul , who Is widely known ? , ' " of Ulus : al ability , presents un- awec. an Interesting sketch well calculated to show her vciruatlllty. So much has ber.j . said In these columns to the discredit of Jhp Sunday audiences at the Crelghton. that It U good to record the ract that the audienceytutcrJay afternoon was entirely well behaved , and. although not large , was enthusiastic , to a degree and quite discriminating la the bestowal of Its frequciV applause.

" NEW REFORMATION NEEDED Church of Today Fails in Its State of Expression and Aggression. PRACTICALLY DIVORCED FROM MASSES Dr. llomnhlll , at the Flrnt Vreubj- tcrlnn Clinrch , DlnoonrneB Upon the PoHHlble Church of the Fntnre. ' At the First Presbyterian church a large crowd greeted Dr. tlemphlll of San Francisco joth yesterday morning and evening. Dr. Hemphlll Is en eloquent , logical speaker , and preached sermons of unusual' power. The morning services opened with an oran - ; an prelude , "Allegro , " Mendelsshon. The choir then sang "Te Deum" In D flat , by 3uck , aad Mr. llazleton ang "Jerusalem. " ' rho subject ot the morning discourse was , 'Does the Church Need a New Kcforma- lon ? " Dr. Hemphlll described the apostolic church as It existed In Its simplicity and he commcri fellowship which characterized the early organization. The clergy In tlmo came to dominate the masses and hi the lomlsh church , before the reformation , can bo seen a condition of affaire In which the church put Its heel upon human Intellect and announced Itself as the solo Interpreter of the scriptures. Indulgences were sold and the lives anJ futures of the members vcro supposed to be en-tlrely uader the con- : rol of the clergy. Yet this was better than It would have ) cen to have no church. Art and architec ture were encouraged and the bible was prc. served , although It was kept from the masses. With ithe reformation came another condl- ; Ion of affairs and today we have the Prot estant church much less advanced and effec tive than the church would have been had It not been trammeled and hindered so many years by superstition and tyranny. The church as It exists today tiocs deed reformation , said the preacher. It lias been a partial failure. Its aim anJ ul- tlmato good cannot 'bo ' challenge1. ) , but It has failed in Its present state of expression and aggression. The church has deserted the condition of mutual helpfulness which characterized' ' the early church. TOO LITTLE CHRISTIANITY. Today f.ievc Is too much churchlanlty and too little real Christianity. Too many mem bers of the modern church do nottilng for Christ and tlic church. If the church had done alii the work whlh wan open to It and which It wan clearly Its duty to perform , we would not have so many outsllo Chris tian organizations , which are not organize 1 wltfi the Intention of opposng the church , but which really'are threatening the church's existence. It is the church and not theoe organizations which are at fault. Then the church of today Is practically divorced frcm the masses. Fine edifices arc built and tbo poor man finds church mem bership too expensive a luxury. The Salva tion Array gets thousands to attend Its meet ings whom the churches or the land cannot reach. This In a condition which must be banished. All men must be made welcome In the house of God. Then the church seems to be partl-illy separated from the classes. It does not liivo the Influence It should over the highly edu cated classes , although It docs seem to be regatherlng them into the fold at this time. Cultured people have seen only the cr&ss of Christ in tlie church , and have considered It the center and only element of Christian faith. They have overlooked the culture and learning whfh are embraced In the Christian faith and have failed lo appreciate what It offers them. Another defect of the church which DC- . Hemphlil pointed out Is that It Is not abreast of modern reforms. It was slow In taking up the anti-slavery movement and has cecmed reluctant to take up the temperance movement. The model church must be morn aggressive in reforms , for it has been proven that the church must either lead reforms or be led by them. COURAGE , PATRIOTISM AND PIETY. Dr. Hemphlll's evening sermon was a very timely one .jtid the cwt of a sermon which Is needed In this period of threatening strife. Ho chcso for his subject , "Courage. PatriotIsm - Ism and Piety , " and selected the following words for his text : "Be of goo.1 courage and let us play the men for our people and for the cities of our God , and the Lord will do that which seemeth to Him good. " "Courage , " c'ald ' Dr. Hemphlll , "la calm determination which reflects upon Its al ternatives and chooses the cne which is right. Too often men will not sacrifice popu larity for the sake of right. What the nation neei's In this crisis Is men who dare to do the right because It Is right , statesmen who will not take their cue from jingo journals and who will ever care for the nation's best Interests. The nation needs workmen who will suffer the Insults of their fellow work ers rather than do their employer an In justice ; capitalists who will Ignore the dic tate. ) of men of their caste and be just to their employes. " Pessimists surroun'i us on all'sides , aild the preacher , add te'.l us that the nation has seen Ito best days and will never approach preach the good old times which have been. Calamity howlers see only destruction await ing us. Hut to an unprejudiced student of history our past Is bright and a bright future awaits us. Each age ba < ? added something to the glory of Its predecessor ; political con ditions have adjusted themselves and each disaster wo have met has resulted In ulti mate good. In the present crisis the United States has not sought war. President Mc- Klnley did all In his power to bring about honorable peace and has failed. Spain blew up our battleship while la a presumably friendly harbor. This haughty , treacherous nation has driven the United States Into the struggle , and our people , no matter what their political faith , are unanimous In com mending tbo course pursued by President McKinley. Since the war has virtually be gun , it Is the duty of every American citi zen to restrain himself and keep cool dup ing the struggle. It Is the cool man who wins. Piety , said Dr. Hemphlll , la war against all wrongo for rights v.hlch need assistance. Patriotism Is so closely allied with piety that It Is difficult to distinguish between them. In the beginning of our republic God's bless ing was Invoked end the United States can bo justly called a heaven-barn nation. Sines the dayj of the devout men who framed our constitution men from sixty nations have sought our shores and efforts have been made to win us away from the guiding hand which has helped us to greatness. The word ot God , and that alone , can make a homogeneous people out of the mixed raceo that make up our present population Let America be true to God .and Ho will guide It safely through all storms of strife and war. OHAHACTEIl THE GHE.VTEST XEEI ) . Foundation of the Sermon by IU'V. II. J. KlrvliMtoln. Rev. H. J. Ktrcbsteln , raster of the First Christian church at Lincoln , occupied the pulpit of the First Chrlotlan church ot thU city yesterday. At the morning service he preached to a large congregation on the sub ject. "Our One Master , " taking hla text frcm. Matthew xxill1 S. The discourse was an able cae and waa well delivered. In the course of his termca the prc-iclier said : "A master Is ooe who U an instructor. We observe the motion the word In this emne In mechanics , I IcV art and Inthe sciences. It was In tlMieenac ot the word nuntcr that ChiUt m * i.ikcJ , 'Art Thou a master In I racT ? ' ' "Again , a matter tocae who In a critic. He Inspects and ho vtitfcUea. We read In the chapter from whUbiour text li taken ; 'But all critics are iMtttaetera. ' "Thirdly , a master ivoae who Is a demon strator.

In pvery acMei of the word Ho truly was. The Pharbeta loved to be called rabbi , and the reason ; ! not hard to find. Men love to rule , bnt they hate to obey. The Pharisee * said , but they did not do. Their traditions had superseded the com mandments ot God. They said 'brethren , ' and we're yet hero-worshippers. " 'One. la our Master , even Christ. ' He Is the master of life. He teicheo us how to obtain end how to maintain life. He tells us that the Master must be obeyed. Now , how do we call Htm Master ? It It Is In the way of Judas , who called 'Him Master only to betray Him , then ue are as bad ati Judos , and we deceive ourselves. "Christ Is the master artist. He exhibits the lights and the- shades of all ages. We sec htm reflected throughout Christendom. Ho Is a master for young men and women. There .bshold your copy of Christ and chapo your lives after His. Rabbi Gamaliel was not enough for Paul , No other master but Christ will do for us. 'One Is your Master , even Christ. ' Christ la the one and the only Master of life. "In the struggle tor justice , liberty and life human society needs a constant center ; and the forces of progress , a leader who Is a master ; one who can Instruct and com mand , and npeak with authority , and , if nccis&jtry , demonstrate that which ho pre tends to know End teach. Christ Is this master. He Is the foundation upon which we may safely bul'.d our lives. "Will you build upon this sure foundation ? And will yru build for eternity a character that shall be your Joy and your glory , for bulldcro you must ever be , whether you would or not ; builders of character , builders of men and women , builders ot a wholesome public sentiment , builders of the state and of the nation , bulMers of the church and ot the kingdom of God , bulldcra of a destiny , of weal or'of woe , builders , aye , makers of a heaven or of a hell. "The greatest need of the church Is not incriey , nor ooclal standing with the world , but the Christ and the Christ-life reflected In the lives of Its members. The highest art and the most beautiful thing In all the world la a consecrated , purified , changed and sanctified life In Christ Jesus. And as llfo determine character , and character deter mines destiny , the greatest need of the church Is the pure and unspotted character of Its membership. This quality the ages car.not destroy , for gooJciess Is co-equal with God and Id God. " S ins -.vni3WiLi < SKIMIOX. Itcv. Krtjjiir MncDIll ri KiN IIU Coii- nrrdou ivltli 1'nrk Avenue Clturcli. Hov. Edgar MacDill , whose rcs'gnatlwi as pastor of the Park Avenue United Presby terian church was recently accepted by Iho presbytery , preached his farewell far- mo.T3 jcatorday. At 'the evening services ho took leave of his congregation. In the morning ho simply referred to his coming departure and made announcement of the Instructions of the presbytery to declare the pulpit vacant. He preached a sermon nt tl c latter service upon the "Coming of Christ. " In the course of the sermon he dcr-laird that the doctrine of the coming of Chrlet has caused much trouble , because it h.a not been rightly understood. Every ten > parn or so a report spreads through the v , orld tl'at the Saviour is about to appear oa c-.rth again , and when Ho does not come It Is generally declared that the glory of Christ Is not so great after all. The pastor insisted -that those who cn- novnce that the Lord will come , and-in two or three days turn the world upside down , arc false prophets , such us Christ warned IIU disciples against. For there will he no announcement of the coming ot Christ In ( person , but He will nppear suddenly. Never theless , the preacher maintained that in o e way He Is coming continually. The minister explained that this "coming" of Christ has been worked quietly through the processes of civilization. This has been going on during the last 1900 years' ' and has culminated in the greatest civlllzatlcn la the ht'tory of the world when the cmpiies are the meat magnificent , manhood and woman hood is ths trusst , ani. Christianity Is meet widespread. Despite the fact , however , that the follow cis of Christ are greater in number now than ever before there are still many who have not accepted. For example , not more than one-fifth ot the population of this state are profo'Blng Christians. The minister In sisted , however , that Intellectuality Is grow ing at such a rate that the conve-rslon of the world will go on Increasing , but he asserted that Christ would not come to earth In per- soci until all the world should know Him. Ao a conscquenca of thlo Interpretation of the doctrine , the mir/ster Insisted that It is needful for people to prepare for the coming by' looking upon this advancing civ ilization as Christ's gradual coming , and to prepare to receive Him ty absorbing all ttio Influences of life. One of the greatest of therw Influences la the church , which was denominated as a reservoir pouring truth tnd morality Into the worl'd. Every one should , therefore , hasten Christ's coming by joining the church and assisting In the work of spreading the truth In order that the world may become His. IMt'AYEHVIbI ' * GIVE 0X13 iFIUMXESS. II ev. Dr. Snmlernoii I'oltttH MnrnlH from tlio Life of Dnntcl. The subject of Rev. F. H. Sanderson's discourse at Trinity Methodist church yester day morning re-ferrel to the life of Daniel and the- lessons that It conveyed to modern Christianity. The sermon was largely a review of the life of Daniel in which the speaker paused at times to point to a moral. Cna of these emphasized the power ot prayer and Its influence on the character. This was suggested by the statement that before ho was to bo cast Into the den ot lions Dcalel knelt at Jiis window to offer hla usual mornlijg Invocation to the Almighty. The speaker said that a. man who was much with Gel in secret was likely to be on eml- nucvt witness for him in public. Prayer gave flrmucss and stability to the character and it was what had given Daniel the strength to meet the frightful emergencies with which he was confronted. Decision of character was distinctively a Christian attribute. 'In. minor matters we might be all things to all mco , but In the great eteinil prlnclplesioCllfo wo should not I give way for an hour. J The worldly succesa.that Daniel attained j was suggested as an indication of the fact that It paid to lead an ! honorable and right eous life. The speaker called attention to his un'olcmtshcd ' reputation , which was in striking contrast to the- lamentable biota that disfigured the portraits of many of those personages whose features were deple ted ki the pages of Revelation. There was but one just man , however , and others should cnly 'bo followed as followed by Christ. Part seven of The tBce's travel serUo Is on Cuba and the wreck of the Maine.

Commissioner Utt says that according to his views relative to the matter It la Impossible ( or Commissioner Jones to do anything of the kind. "Tho situation Is this. " said Utt. "Ulils for furnishing hardware , furniture , stoves , nagons and some classes of meats will he opened In Chicago on Ai > rll 27. Moat of these bids arc In , while others are on the way. Didders have submitted their propositions at pi Ices which contemplate Chicago delivery. Any person can PCO that bids on these goods could not bo opened In Omaha unless the government should reverse Itself , reject the bids and rcadvertlje for a delivery at Omaha , which Is not likely to be done. "On May 17 bids will be received In New York for furnishing other supplies at the In dian agencies. The advertisements have been published and It ID not probable that the government Is going to declare these void and advertise for bids to be opened In Omaha at seine future date. "Several of the Omaha dealers anil manu facturers will bid at both Chicago and New York , hoping to get a slice of the contracts , but they will all bid with the understanding that goods are to be shipped from the depots In the two cities referred to. Most of them have shipped their earnpleo with the under standing that the bids will be opened at the placcj Indicated.
