SOME RECOMPENSE IN WAR
Hot All ! Efll that Flowi from the
National Clash.
GOOD RESULTS ALREADY APPARENT
Rev. 9. Wright Itntler Fnlnlii Ont the
Jlevrnrdii tlmt Are Ortnln to
ComcTlirunKh VonciulnliliiK
the Lion In the I'ntfa.
'fho ' w r situation furnished the subject
for the discourse of Rev. S. Wright Duller
at St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church
yesterday morning. The spvaker dlscucsed
existing conditions from a scriptural basis
nd endeavored to point out the bright aide
of the situation OB compared to the crcaklnga
of people who can eo nothing In war except
Buffering and bloodshed. His text related
to the Incident In which Sampson muled the
lion that confronted him when he was on the
way to his wedding feast and from the car
cass of which ho subsequently obtained the
honey that the bee * had deposited. It
consisted of the words , "Out of the cater
hall como forth strength and out of the de-
voufcr shall como forth oweetnces. "
Dr. Butler declared that In the present
case war Is the cater , and what a voracious
eater. From a financial standpoint alone lie
capacity la astounding. It cost $1,000,000 a
day. It costs $800 to fire ono thlrtcn-lnch
gun and $0,000 to discharge ono broadside
from the Mawwchusetts. but this la not all
IOBB. It Is partially offset by the tremendous
impetus given to manufactured. The fac
tories are running night and day to supply
the material which this tremendous expendl.
turo purchases atid buck of It all Is the cause
of humanity and liberty Vvhlcli Is worth It
fill.
Continuing , the speaker said this war
which Is costing $1,000,000 a day Is not the
only eater. In 1890 when the nation was at
peace , the drink bill was $3,000,000 a day
and what did wo get back for It. It Impeded
legitimate business , while pleasure rode the
beer wagon. It gave us tram pa and
criminate and misery for the vast amount we
fed Into Its capacious maw. "Hut you eay , "
continued the speaker , "that war , eats up
men. " Is It the only thing that cats up men ?
How many men ore destroyed In the me
chanical employments , how many In marine
disasters , how many by the black damp , the
explosions and the collapsing corridors of
the mines ? The mllroad Interests furnish
twenty-five funoralu every day. "
Returning to the original subject , Dr.
Butler declared that whatever wo might
think about war wo are In It. Those who
are not In It personally are wonderfully In It
In spirit. The lion Is In our path and we
muat kill It or It will kill us. In this cose
It lo the demand of patriotism and the duty
of leadership to study , not Its apjxilllrg
features , but the rcwatds It offers , the com
pensating advantages we will gain.
WHAT IT HAS SWALLOWED.
Thla great cater has already swallowed
up i omo of the email Insectivorous differ
ences ttiat hive marred our national life. It
haa already done much by devouring our
sectionalism. In the last thirty daja It has
done what the previous thirty yearo had only
partially accomplished. The hcrnea of the
union and the lieroea of the confederacy have
ollko become the heroes of the nation. They
ore nil ono now. Where are now all the
Ills that bcaet us < i few months ago ? Where
la the governor who wanted to wade In blood
to his brldlo bits ? where Is the money ques
tion ? wlicro Is the threatened Industrial
revolution ? nlicre are the men who railed
About ttio serfs of labor and the Shylocka of
Wall street ? where are the croakers who de
clared that our plan of government was a
( failure and must go down before the revolt
of the oppressed mascs ? whe're Li the raven
when the eagle ecriamn ? The North and
South voted the declaration of war In just
100 Feconds , and when me president callr.i
fen125,000 men , 600,000 atepped to the front
end volunteered. The cost of war Is not
all Ices. It U wortti 100 years of life to see
thlo moment. Think of the gall and blttcr-
neee that existed among the people of this
country lew than a. year ago. Where la It
now ? Wo needed a great eater and It has
come.
The speaker then proceeded to reoesure the
people who are mourning over ttio departure
ureof ttio militiamen for the front. He de
clared that they are much better oft In the
camp than In the club. They might a good
deal better be on guard on an expneed ridge
within sight of the enemy's lines than to be
doing picket duty at 11:30 : p. m. before the
jitago entrance of the theater. The. warpilnt
"of their foes Is not half so dangcroua as tbo
paint on the faces of tbo sirens who were
accustomed to pass out that way about tlmt
hour. It might better bo Johnny marching
homo again than the sort of Johnny that
loafo around the stage entrance. There are
a thousand ekngera In the city where there
are ten In camp. Hut the mothers say that
the ) ' are afraid that their boys will get sick
tn the anny. No doubt they will , and they
will get sick at home , too. We are Retting
to bo a nation of dyspeptics , and some fiend
has Invented the dialing dish to help U
along. The bojs who have been ruined by
late suppers and the chafing dish business
will como homo from the camp mess with
the stomachs of ostriches. The hard train
ing and hard tack of the camp will not hurt
them and they will return with enlarged
Ideas and Improved physiques , ready to take
up the buslncee of life with a stronger hood.
HEW MISSWX AT ST.
Father Union COIIICH Dearlng n 3Ic * >
naire of JVaee and Ilcnnril.
Father Union of the East Indies , a widely
known Catholic missionary , yesterday mornIng -
Ing commenced a three weeks' mission at
St. Phllomena'a cathedral. All tbo coming
week will bo devoted to meetings for Catho-
llce. Two macsea will be celebrated each
morning , ono at 6 and the other at 8 o'clock
t which Instruction will also be- given , and
another meeting will be held every evening.
The following week's meetings will be for
non-Catholics and- the third week will be
vpent by the missionary In answering quca-
tlona that may be propounded to him by
ecekere and In finishing ( its mission work In
the city. On May 24 he Is to deliver a
lecture In Boyd'a theater upon the "Ea > n
Indies. "
The mlfslcnary preached the sermon at
the servlcea at the cathedr.il yesterday
morning. Ills remarks were Intended to
prepare the members of the congregation for

of the edifice wia Inaufflclcnt to accommodate
the number who flocked to heRf him. Extra
chairs were placed In the olalM , but a
large number were forced to Und In the
rear of Uie church.
Father Union mated that be had come to
preach of a mercltut"Qod and to bring the
promise that the Almighty rendered to the
Israelite * when he told them he would take
them back If they would caat evil out of
Ittclr hearts at a time when they were eln-
ful , corrupt nd laden with Iniquity. The
prlMt e-ild that the people of this country
are neither nlnful , corrupt nor laden with
Iniquity , and consequently Qed will be as
merciful to transgressors ai be had txen
to the Israelites. It one does right he la
promised the reward of eternal salvation ; If
ho does wrong he will receive eternal pun-
Iflhmcnt. Consequently It Is but necessary
to repent and to do right In the future In
order to receive the glorloua reward , no
matter wh.H the wickedness of a past llfo
haa been. This Is the mrceage , the priest
declared , be has to deliver during the com
ing week , and be urged upon his listeners
to artist him by prayer and by bringing to
the meeting all who are unsaved or have
fallen away men , women and children. He
declared that this rested as a duty upon
everyone , as etiown by the parable of the
lost shc3p tn the new testament.
The missionary pointed out to the con
gregation what ones they should Invite to
the mUslon meetings : Those with a corrupt
heart , whose elns would be washed away
and their souls made whiter than snow and
whose sorrow over past mlatlecds would bo
m.ido a burden they would be glad to bear ;
Uioso with a tempted heart , In whom
strength would bo born to resist any tempta
tions , because God does not tempt men be
yond tbo strength that Is latent within
them ; rbcso with a deadened heart , whenever
never knew true devotion and' ' who have
upon their souls ; othern with a craven heart ,
Who are afraid to face Qml on account of
past elna or who have committed ao many
sins that they are afraid to speak to Qed
about them ; still others with a hardened
heart , wholiave lost their faith.
Father Union charged hU IK'tcnjrs to bring
all such to the meetings , not to one of them ,
> ut to all. It would require but three
lours a day for a week , an Insignificant
ength of time to spend upon the effort to
redeem an eternal soul.
SALVATION A STEADY PROCESS.
Dr. Ilnrnen of Council II In IT * Il -
conrM-N on Spiritual ItcKeneratlon.
The pulpit of the First Presbyterian
church was occupied yesterday morning by
lev. W. S. Barncst pastor of the First
i'rcsbytcrlan church of Council Bluffs. The
cnurcH was well filled with a congregation
that Included a number of strangers. The
quartet choir during the service well ren
dered two anthems. Spencer's " 0 Lord , Re-
juke Mo Not , " and Beethoven's vesper
liymn , "Hark , Hark. My Soul. "
The text of the discourse of the visiting
clergyman was taken from Phlllpplaru , II ,
xll , reading : ' 7.'ork out your own salva
tion with fo r and trembling. " In tde
: ourse of his sermon the preacher said :
'Salvation Is a familiar word. ItIs very
much on' the tongues of some religious pco-
lie. Wo should make sure of what the
word stands for , for 'the chief Interest of
Christianity Is summed up in this ono won ] .
Whether wo do or not , wo all think wo
take enough Interest for our own salvation
and possibly for others If they are quick
to take a hint. Salvation ls not instanta
neous. It is not all done In an Instant.
Salvation Is a process. .It Is continuous. It
saves from present evil as well as from
future evil. It Is salvation to present good
as well as to future good. It Is not only
salvation from a future hell , but also from
preeent hclllshness. Salvation Is not alone
salvation to future heaven , but Just as
much to present hcavenllness.
"Salvation leads to a better self as well
as to a future heaven. It is a result to
be worked out by us. It Is more than mere
pardon from sin. It Is the whole process
of getting right with God. Salvation Is a
largo thing. It is not done for us entirely ,
for we have a part in it. It Is not done
with our consent. It is only done with our
cooperation. It Is not { o bo achieved
through supreme Inactivity , as a great ma
jority of our people of totlay"nppear to
think. We are to work out our own salva
tion with fear and trembling.
"The blblo does say , 'Take no thought
of tomorrow. ' But that was not written
of the soul. Throughout the New Testa
ment we read that we are to concern our
selves about our own salvation , preparing
for the Tlnal day of Judgment. The true
test of salvation Is right living. It is pos
sible that In thcEe
days of ease wo are
losing the arts of Christian thinking and
Christian effort. Tno gold oT the soul is
not to be picked up la nuggets. It Is founc
in small particles and must be passec
through the refining process of salvation be
fore It is pure gold of the soul. We should
work with fear and trembling for the sal
vation of our souls , for It Is GoJ that work-
eth in us for His own good pleasure. "
FOR CIVILIZED ACVD UNCIVILIZED.
the HlRlier Mar team from
the I.iMTcr. Claim of Hnmnulty.
Ths topic considered at the meeting of
the Universal Brotherhood yesterday after
noon waa our relationship with uncivilized
nations and the discussion considered how
'
th'o principle of brotherhood , the watch
word of the society , might bo conveyed to
them.
In reeking a contrast between civilized
nations and those usually considered unclv-f
Illzed , Luclen B. " Copeland , leader of the
society , expressed a doubt whether there
was much advantage on qur side. He said
that Europeans and Americana are engaged
In individual struggles for life and that
each man is obliged to put forth every
ounce of strength to live among his fellows.
If ono falls , few are the -tears that are shed
or the helping hands held out to him. There
Is little feeling of kinship In our eo-callcd
civilization , be said , and duty to one's fel
low man occupies little space in our
thouzhts. Among untaught races , on the
other hind , the speaker said that sincerity ,
honesty and chastity were generally ob
served until these , qualities were destroyed
by their relations with their civilized broth-
era. They are simply called barbarous , Mr.
Copeland said , because their Intellectual
development is low. and we are considered
civilized without reference to our humanity
or our duty to our fellow men. Mr. Copeland -
land thinks that our moral and Intellectual
faculties should be equally developed and
that wo might bo benefited as much through
contact with lhe simplicity of savage na
tions as they could learn from the know
ledge cf a scientific age.
"We are apt to call a race uncivilized , "
Mr. Copeland added , "simply because Its
methods In religion are different from ours.
For Instance , if they worship the sun we
set them down as Idolaters without a
thought of the meaning back of the act.
Such a worshiper may bow to the sun as
the symbol of life and light as Christians
reverence the figure of a dove or a lamb.
The truth of a man's devotion lies In the
thought behind It and not in the manner of
its performance. But If wo become Icono
clasts and criticize existing forma without
effort to make things better it Is worse
than useless. Wo should make our work
practical and try to show races In Intellect
ual darkness that we feel toward them as
brothers and that we can get an like benefit
from them in return from what we attempt
to clve. "

the cerentd commandment at the Young
Men's 0171811051 areoctatjon meeting yesterday
afternoon. 'Ho deplored the tendency of so

Men and women who act aa procurers for
these daunts of vice tdould be 'Imprisoned
and dealt wltd most harshly.
Dr. Wilson dwelt at length upon the housea
which are maintained aa places of meeting
for people who arc prominent , and would
not have their presence at such places known.
Ho advised the constant raiding of houca of
assignation and the dragging of Inmates Into
court. Such a course , be said , would pre
vent people wdo pretend to be respectable
from frequenting questionable place * : .
In conclusion the speaker emphasized tbo
moral prevention of prostitution. He urged
It upon , parents 'that they teach their chil
dren and warn them of ( be dangers , both
physical and moral , which threaten the violators

Ituilc Sllec of SiirlnRtlme.
Yesterday was May day' , but the weather
man got a llttlo mixed up In. his calendar
and unbottled the wrecig sort of weather
for the occasion. U was not exactly of I tic
right aort of temperature for a person to
assume light and fleecy garments , arise be
fore daylight and gather flowers from the
fielde and budding branches from the forest ,
and dance about the May polo la the glail
sunshlno all the day long. There waa very
llttlo of that sort of thing going on.
The greensward lo a llttlo bald yet and
flowers and budding branches are pretty
nearly ae scarce as hens' teeth. Ttien , to
cap the climax , the clerk of the weather let
a little of the Klondike effervescence escape
Into these parts. Under all these circum
stances what could the people of Omaha do ?
They could not do anything else than hug
their own firesides or don overcoats when
they went out if Uielr "bennies" were still
with them. Nobody could1 blame them ,
cither. .
As a result , there was not much of a May
day feeling on Omaha streets all ( day yes
terday. Winter furs and overcoats were In
great demand. The conditions also had an
effect upon the attendance upon tbo exposi
tion grounds. There werea lot of people
out there , of courseto see what progreca
haa been rcade , but the crowd was much
smaller ttian It would otherwise have been.
It wao only Omaha patriotism that called
them out , and the audience that tha busy
workmen enjoyed was not up to the standard
set on other Sundajs. The remaining polntn
of interest about the city were proportion
ately deserted and bicycle riding was down
near the zero point.
The street car men had a little May day
celebration In coming out with new and
natty caps. The conductors have a couple
of gold bands around thclre anj the motormen -

The Installation of the exhibits la the Gov

the Interior of the great building presents
a meat animated sight. The walls have been
covered with burlap lo two shades. A dado
of dark maroon twelve feet In height ex-
tenda entirely around the building ; above
this and reaching to the celling burlap of
the natural color Is used , the result being
an effect of red and oldi gold , which makes
a very handsome background for the ex
hibits. The space assigned to each of the
governmental departments la separated from
the adjoining epace by a partition twelve *
feet In height , extending to the main aisle ,
which runs the entire length of the building
through the center. These partitions are
covered with red burlap and are finished at
the top with a neat moulding.
For the last two weeks the exhibits of the
several departments have been arriving at
a rapid rate and1 the space to be occupied
by eJch department his been gradually filled
with huge crates and boxeo containing the
thousacrJ-aml-ono things constituting the ex-

hoe now completed tab task of covering
them and has ascended with his workmen

are expected to arrive In the city early this
week and when they arrive the work of In

FISH DISPLAY.
Tie display of the Fish commission has
reached a more advanced stage than any of
the others from tbo very nature of the ar
rangements for It. The live fish will bo dls-
played in a tunnel-like grotto which has
been under construction for the last two
months. This occupies the northwest cor
ner of the building and forms three sides
of a rectangle. The Interior of the tunnel
rerresents a rocky cavern with a high
arched celling and along the sides are the
tanks In which the live flsh are to be ex
hibited. These tanks are about six feet In
length , three feet high and four feet In
width. The flde of each tank which la set
Into the wall of the tjunnel Is of plate glass
and rio bottom is covered with rocks and
boulders. The' tanks are filled with' filtered
water and no light can enter the tunnel
except that which passes through the water
from above. The result of this arrangement
Is to make the Interior of the tank as light
ns dny and the magnifying effect of the
water makes the rocks appear about twice
as lar = e ao they are In reality. The effect
will probably be the same with the flsh.
In the corners of the grotto are large oval
tants In which will be shown fancy gold
and silver fish. The water In these tanks
will be lighted from beneath by electric
ll-hts and the reflection of this light from
the shining sides of the darting flsh will be
a pretty sight. Water will fall Into these
largo tanko over a pile of rocks In the back ,
representing miniature cataracts.
The tunnel mar be entered at cither end
and these ends have been finished In an
elaborate manner. Small figures surmount
the entrance. There are several of these
figures , one representing a fisher maiden
with a net of fish. , another an Indian girl
In a canoe ; 'another' a ) udarlngnf fisherman
astride " "V " doljihln , 'etc ; . nThe arrangement
Jor theHve flsh exfhlblt was designed and
Us construction supervised by G. C. Schnei
der n attache of , the Flsh commission.
The design and general arrangement of the
tunnel la 'said ' by those connected with the
other department exhibits who have seen
t'ho ' displays made by the commission at
former expositions , to bo far superior to
any previous attempt In this direction.
PICTURES THAT NEVER GOT THERE ,
The exhibit of the Postofflce department
la the only other display which has made i
any particular progress in the way of get
ting ready for the inspection of the public. ,
There is ono feature of this display which
will undoubtedly attract a very great amount : I
of a'ttentlon in the present excited state of
the public mind over anything that per ,
tains to war/ This Is an exhibit of photo-1
graphs of soldiers taken during ;
the rebellion which miscarried and |
landed in the dead letter division of the
Postofflce department. There are about
15 000 of these old pictures and they form
a most interesting collection for a variety
of reasons.
During the civil war it was a common
thing for soldiers In the northern armies
who happened to be near a town to have
their pictures taken to eend to wives ,
sweetheart * , parents or friends , at home.
In thousands of cases the addresses were
defective in some particular or became en
tirely 'separated from the picture In the
course of the rough handling to which some
of the mal's were necessarily subjected at
times and the postofllce authorities were
unable to deliver them. They were pre
served , however , and have now become1 a
very valuable collection from a historical
standpoint. There were many thousands of
them originally , but large numbers of them
were claimed from time to time and the
number has now been reduced to about
15 000. These are contained In frames hold
ing about 100 each and are so hung that
they may be examined with great ease by
those caring to do so.
SHOWS ADVANCE IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
Theeo pictures are a etrange alght In the
light of modern photography. They are all
of the size known a the "card de visile
and some of them are mart fearful and won
derful examples of the horroro of half baked
photography. All are faded and yellow with
age , or Imperfect treatment originally , and
some of them are sadly dilapidated , but they
tell the story of a generation now almost
past and gone. Some of them are pictures
of men high In rank in the army , as indicated
by their 'uniform men In the prime of life ,
hearty and rugged. Others are pictures of
mere boyd , some of them wearing their uni
forms with a t > elf-cocsclous pride that tells
of the novelty of ths-experlence. Some are
taken "in camp , " probably by a traveling
photographer , but th < y majority are "Inte
riors , " and the crude appearance of the
"property , " is really 'painful.
Speaking of photography , It may be stated
that the Board of 'Management ' of the Govern
ment building has an lofficlal photographer on
Its staff. Prof. Charles 'Richards Dodge , chief
of the iDureau of Fibre Investigations of the
Agricultural department. Is the photogra
pher , and a ' "darkvroom" with all the ac
cessories has been fitted up for his use in the
building. His dutte re to take photographs
of each of the departmental exhibits and
these are preserved In the archives at Wash
ington as records oC toe occasion.
The Government building has been closed
to visitors and froavmow until the exposition
Is opened visitors wBl not be allowed Inside.
Guards are on duty at each door and none
are allowed to enter-'extept those having spe
cial permission to dvlao.

of thieves talk about their luck and to
watch them throw the ball , pretending that
they don't know how. etc.
Detectives and pollcernrti continually pass

the game openly boasts he has n Hc nKe

Srand Suits. J
The Nebraska offers this morning its second purchase
of Men's Suits for this
Spring. These second pur
chases were selected from the best lines of all the
best makers and for style and variety are the grand
' est suits The Nebraska has ever shown. Always
'quick to take advantage of the markets wo show these
suits very early this season. You may expect to find
them in other stores thirty days from now. As an
indication of how prices will run on this new lot wo
ask your attention to the beautiful line of Worsteds
at ten dollars , amongst which is an imported silver
grey weave with invisible red plaid undorweave a
beautiful pattern -made up into stylish sacks for
business wear. These suits come from the foremost
makers of fine clothing , are lined with silver grey
silesia in the coat and cut in the pink of style. In
no other store in Yankeeland could you find a suit
like this for less than fifteen dollars , and some stores
we know would think it a pity to sell it for less than
eighteen. We will sell them for ten dollars , but
that's nothing compared to the ones two tables away ,
marked six dollars and a half. Worsted , and pure

worsted at that.
