Intvrmtlnir Letter from DUho
Worthlnutoit lie-nil , After Which
the Mnttrr of .MUnlonn In ( liven
n Very Full Illncumiloii.
The rnnual Council of the diocese c
Kebraska , Protestant Episcopal church , de
voted the major portion of yesterday after
noon to the consideration ot church exten
slon and mission work. Previous to thl
the election of n president In the person
Very Rev. Dean Fair and of Hov. C. 11
Young as secretary was accomplished nn
a letter which received the closest nttentlo
from Bishop Worthlngton was read. Th
full text of the letter Is as follows :
To the Clerical and Lay Members of th
Thirty-first Annual Council of the Dloces
of Nebraska : My well-beloved In the Lord-
In the oil-wise providence of God , I or
obliged to extend greeting to my yoke fel
IOWB In thu gospel of Christ In a way thu
Is far from satisfactory to myself.
While striving to be patient and submls
Ivo under the enforced absence , at thl
time , from your deliberations for the welfare
faro and extension of the church , theie i
an Intense longing to look Into the face
and grasp the hand of my loyal brcthrer
both clerical and lay ; but the physlclar
whoso treatment of this treacherous an
painful malady has brought me great re
lief , has forbidden any mental or physlca
exertion that might retard my restorntlo
to health , in the hope that by the autum
thcro may bo such recovery and vigor ate
to enable mo to undertake , with caru , m
dlocts.ni duties and responsibilities. 0
tourso , nil that must be left to the merclft :
oiderlng of the Infinitely wise God.
When requested by the standing commit
tec. In UB gentle consideration of Its blshor
to cancel my appointments ; and by medico
advlte to leave the diocese for needed res
nnd to consult the best , and most expert
tnctd phjslclan In New York , the scrlou
character of the disease Impressed .me , an
It rceincd as If my more active life In th
work of the church had reached Its lltnll
and n request might , with ample juatlfiea
tlon , be made that a co idjutor bishop shoul
bo ehosen. Any other Intention or more en
tire Reparation from the dloceso would no
only have been a dlstrcHsltig result of m
lllnesH , but , by the- advice of some of th
wisest In the House of Bishops , whose con
sent would be nccessaiy , a resignation wa
not to be considered. Therefore , I propos
to retain ray title BO long ns I am pcrmltte
to remain In the church militant. Anothc
twelvemonth will determine to what exten
visitations and other episcopal duties ma
bo assumed by mo and what assistance I
performing them may bo required. For th
summer the standing committee , as th
canons permit , has been placed olllclnll
by mo In charge of the diocese and , doubt
less , with the aid of the board of dloccsa
missions , will bo able to meet exigencies n
they may arlao In the care and extension c
the chureh In our diocese.
There has been an opportunity for over
cle-rgvincn to present persons for conflrma
tlon before the council , If they desired t
do FO , as arrangements had been pcrfcctci
without expense to the diocese , for eplscopi
visitations from two or moro of my righ
reverend brethren ; nnd others have off ere
to relieve mo of anxiety In this dlrectlo
later In the summer , if visitations at
needed.
E tcnnlon of the Work.
The most Innortant fcntuie of your dclil
erattons nt this time will bo to provide tli
ways and means for the extension ot God1
kingdom. All other matters arc' ' of llttl
Importance In comparison with the dlscharp
of the solemn responsibilities that rebt upo
the council assembled.
The Master Dlvlno looks upon you , nn
expects every man to do his duty In tli
missionary activities of the church , whlc
Is Ills body.
There nio many vacancies to be suppllc
with good men and true , and parishes an
missions , too poor to glvo the support ncccs
sary to secure a priest of God , must t
assisted by the members-of tlio househol
of faith. What will bo required to contain
the work where It has been begun the boat
of missions will report to you. But surd
with the abundant blessings that have rcstc
upon the labors of the husbandman and tl :
revival of business In our diocese , wo sha
mnko very decided nnd wise effort In n
nggresslvo work that the church may bo cs
tended beyond her present sphere of nt
tlvlty.
I cannot commend too highly the wet
of our district presbyters. Without an
compensation they have multiplied the1
labors bevond their respective cures nti
have relieved ino of much anxiety nnd car
The result of our Sunday school Lent * :
offerings amounting to $700 Is most ct
couraglng and only indicates what can t
done by united nnd perBlstent effort. It
Invidious to make refurenco to any spccti
parlBh or mission In connection with th
encouraging feature of our work ; but sure !
the smaller nndcakcr ones have no re :
6011 to feel ashatneil.
The condition of our diocesan trust fund
Awing to the business ability and skill i
those who have charge of them , arc In
much better and moro satisfactory cond
tlon than when reported last jcar ; nnd , fro ;
the present prospect , the chureh will sufti
no loss In any of her Investments.
With n conscientious regard for tl
canonical collections and a compliance vvll
thu conditions under which they-arc rcgi
larly to be made , the diocese might m
only make an honorable record f <
ecncrous aid In support of Christian woi
nt homo and abroad , but would bd strong ! ]
cncd by the reflex Influence which sue
( fort always gives.
CoiiMlderntlon of Fund * .
Our people need on'v ' to be told of tl
nature of the work or charity for whU
their offerings , by canon , are required ,
make generous response. Much respons
blllty rests upon the clergy In this pa
tloulnr of Imparting Information nnd glvh
nn opportunity to the laity to show the
Interest In missions , In thiologlcal educi
tlon , lu diocesan charities nnd In other oi
Jects which wo are required to present r
the free will offerings of the people. Pri

In which , doubtless , all will feel n pccull

during their ppilod of Invalldlsm.
Wo have both a general and a dloecsi
fund to consider , and ns we already dm
uiou the former we should arrange for i
annual offering for each. We should i

diocesan fund , so that the Income of tame
amo might relieve the demand which i
may , necessarily , make upon the fund.
The American Church Building Fund a
Boclatlon has bctn ready nnd w tiling
aid tr-u diocese w hencver requi sti'd In a
cordanco with Its regulations for srl
preservation. I regret that In several 1
stances tbo loan made has not been r

transaction and there has been n carele
neglect of pavmcnt of Interest or prlnclp ;
This Indifference seriously embarrass
your bishop In securing loans from t
conuUUslon as they arc asked for by t
diocese. WP should do something , we ha
done practically nothing to Increase tl

Work of the Contention.
The report of the treasurer , Rev. I. I
'ohnson , showed that $2,642.11 had been rt
elved for missionary work and $1,990 fc
ho Aged nnd Infirm fund.
The proposition to attach Browncll Hall <
his city nnd Worthlngton Military ncadem
f Lincoln to tbe diocese was unfavorabl
eported by the committee , which , howevc
ommend both Institutions to the notice i
ho council.
The president was empowered to nppolr
a committee of flvo laymen of the city (
Omaha whose duty It shall be to look Inl
ho matter of mlbslons.
Rev. I. H. Johneon perclpttatcd the debal
vhlch took up most of the afternoon by tl
ircsentatlon of somewhat lugubrious sts
Istlcs and views on the outlook for mli
Ions nnd the scarcity of contribution
lev. Mr. Wharton of York , who Is engage
n missionary work , also drew n rathf
ark picture of the situation as It relates I
> t opagamla. Then Rev , II. Percy Sllve
amo forward with a suggestion which mi
1 1th very general approval and which wt
.doptcd.
His plan Is to procure a house In Ltncoli
o be presided over by some man who he
nado his mistakes "and yet who Is very abl <
arnest and of fine executive ability. " 1
his house provision shall bo mndc for youn
men who arc desirous of eventual entrant
nto the priesthood nnd who wish a prcpan
ory college education. These young mere
ro to bo boarded and housed nnd given o [
lortunlty to visit such towns and localltit
within reach as arc without priests or spli
tual directors of the faith. The belief
hat they would be self-supporting , aq I
ho two days which they are to devote I
hurch work they should be able to ralf
inough to pay their board. Rev. Mr. Sllvc
made an earnest and most practical nppea
Rev. Wharton opposed the plan on tl
grounlr that only priests were suited I
vnngcllstlc work.
Revs. Marsh , Howard nnd Wnt
son all gave tt their endorsement and tl
council appointed a commlttco to furthi
perfect plans for Its parrying out.
CouinifiulH the 1'nrlNliloitcrH.
Very Rev. Dean Tnlr In the couiso of
.en minutes' speech gave a touch of sui
shine , as he put It , to the outloqk. Ho mo
warmly commended the liberal spirit of pi
rlshloncrs nnd the noble and unselfish off or
ot the .workers. He saw a fut ire full
promise. If every worker In the cause wou
effect his portion ot the labor.
Kov , Canon Dohcrty commended the pic
of Rev. Mr.-SUver and told of a slmlli
school which had once flourished at Ni
jrnslw City.
Mr. Theodore L. Rlngwalt In a good m
.ured way took the clergy to task. "Y <
arc alwavs telling U3 to put more religion
our business , " said he. "May I suggest th
you put more business In your religion'
This In relation to the conducting of ml
sions.
Rev. Johnson said that last year tl
men promised $2,470 nnd gave $2,056 ai
, ho women promised $411 and gave $460.
and said In his heart all men arc liars.
"They got It out of the men , " spake up
Brother.
"They got it In spite of the men , " sa
Rev. Johnson.
Rev. George Edward Walk preached tl
sermon for the evening , choosing for 1
theme the parable of the reck man , given
Luke xtl. He said In In part :
The Lord did not say to this man "Tin
fool , " because ho had wealth , because 1
had by frugality and Industry accumulate
grain so that his barns were Inadequal
but because ho was the Incarnation of ui
mitigated selflshneb * . He had never leanv
or did not heed the lesson that a man cai
not llvo for himself. And life can have i
tcauty in the present until the precept
Christ , "It IB better to glvo than to r
cclve , " Is felt nnd practiced , and life ci
have no monument In the future unless
has been ghen to others in thought ai
U and bounty.
Holy Communion will bo celebrated at
o'clock this morning and at 10 o'clock tl

A public mo\ement toward helping to kce ;
the streets of Omaha clean during the ex
position , with the hope that the exampl
will be closely cdhercd to thereafter , wa
the occasion of a mass meeting of 250 In
tercsted citizens held In Crelghton hall las
evening. It had been called by the com
mlttee of the Woman's club , which hi
quietly been at work on this mission to
some time , nnd was presided over by Mrs
McKelvcy. The meeting was opened wit ]
the hearty singing of "The Star Spangle
Banner" and concluded with the choru
"America , " sung by all present standing
Those who addressed the meeting were
MiB. Delden , O. M. Hitchcock , J. E
Daum , Victor Hoscwnter , Clement Chase an
Judge W. W. Kcysor.
The flrst speaker , Mrs. UcMen , told < i
the Inception of the movement anil the nor !
tlmt had already been done by a commltte
of the Woman's club. The committee ha
visited the schools and endeavorcl vvltl
some success to enlist the co-oporatlou o
the school children toward keeping th
btreets clean. In one school the 'chllilrc
were asked why a special effoit to hnv
clean streets this summer was being mndc
Ono email youth raised his hand and re
piled : "Because Buffalo Bill Is a-comlii
here. " Some parents had objected to th
movement , and said they did not care t
ha\c their children become street s.cpcrt
Though this criticism was hmdly a fa !
one , the committee was glad to receive II
Ail examination of the city ordinances hai
been made by the committee , and ) t foum
that there were laws enough to Injure clcai
streets If only they were enforcdd. Th
city council and the Board of Public Woik
\\CTO to be left with the responsibility o
cleaning the streets , and all good cltl .pn
vvould help keep the streets clean. Great en
couragement In the movement had been ro
cchcd from the Board of Education am
from the press of the city. The tfleginpl
and the telephone companies had helpei
brighten up things by painting all thel
poles , as requested. The chief of pollc
had promised to assist In the movement fo
clean streets. If the streets ot Omaha caul
bo kept clean this summer the speaker bo
llo\ed that they would bo Iwpt clean for ul
time to come.
O. M. Hitchcock said that the press o
Omaha surely ought to help along the move
mcnt , as the throwing of newspapers Inti
the Etrects did as much as anything els' '
to keep them dirty. Ten carloads of pape
'
were received In Omaha cve'ry month to bi
converted Into newspapers , and althougl
these papers had their \aluo when pub
llshcd , they were of little value to the pub
He when twentj-four hours old and wer
consequently thrown Into the streets. Hi
believed that the bad condition of tin
streets Is due to the fact that the womci
had not taken hold of the movement before
Now hat they bad done so ho hoped ti
see the streets of Omaha as clean as thos
of German cities.
HUM ItM Commercial Vnltip.
J. E. Baum spoke of the commercial vnlu
of keeping the streets of the city clean. H
said that cleanliness was a most tmportan
element In any business enterprise. N
business could bo successfully conductei
unless it wns conducted orderly and cleanly
Ho likened the city to a big corporatloi
with each citizen representing a stock
holder. It was the duty of each shareholdc
to try to keep the place of business clear
It was the hope of the business men tha
many of the summer's visitors -would re
main here. If this hope were to bo realize
It would be necessary to make , the city
delightful one to live In.
Victor Rosewater spoke of some ot th
obstacles In the way ot having clean street :
Ho said dirty streets and clean streets wcr
comparative terms , and It should be the de
Biro of all to secure as clean streets as po
slblo during the exposition. It Is well to re
member that It costs money to keep th
streets clean , and it should bo determine
In advance that the streets would be kcp
clean c\cn though It should cost consider
able money. The cost of having clean street
Is divided under two heads : Cost of con
struction , and cost of maintenance. Clea
streets depend upon the ono as much a
upon the other. Omaha has an cspcclall
hard task to keep Its streets clean bccaus
ot the construction of much of the strec
pavement. Miles of streets opened up t
boom suburban lots and paved with woodc
blocks cannot possibly bo kept clean.
The cost of maintenance Is divided amen
pieventlve and curative expenditures. Th
amount appropriated for cleaning the street
of Omaha during 1S98 Is $21,500. There ai
eighty-one miles of paved streets to be kej
clean , sixty-two miles of brick , stone an
asphalt pavement and nineteen miles <
wooden blocks. Denver expends $25,000 fc
keeping fourteen miles of narrower street
clean during the year. Omaha streets at
spread out , they are broad , much refuse !
thrown Into the streets and the hauling c
large amounts ot building material throug
the streets necessarily contributes towar
the dirty condition ofthe , streets.
' I'olleeNi'Blect Apparent ,
Attention ls _ called to the fact that th
police have made no arrests of merchant
who dump their waste and refuse matte
Into the streets and that there have bee
but few * arrests for violation ot the ord !
nanco providing for clean streets. N
more money could bo spent for cleaning th
streets during the coming thtte months tha
during the fitst three months of the year , n
more during the quarter of the year mail
noteworthy by the exposition than durin
the quartci of the year that comes In wlr
j ter time. After money Is > appropriated fc
street cleaning we must nee that It Is her
' ejtly expended. At the present time $3,0 (
| Is the amount spent per month for keepln
the streets chnii. A > ear ago nearly twlc
' 'that ' amount was taken out of the treasur
and fpcnt during two weel's on gangs of pi
lltlcal street cleaners employed to prornol
the schemes of a candidate for office. Tl
' } matter of keeping the Btreets clean
1 , largely a question of money , of public c <
operation and of constant watchfulness.
Mrs. Uelden made a plea for a fund '
help along the movement , especially to si
cure the printing of the city ordinance c
the subject. A collection was taken and
enug sum realized.
Clement Phase spoke briefly upon the di
slrabiltty of a general house-cleaning i
the clt ) before the opening of the exposlllo
I He was followed by Judge W. W. Keysc
who made a strong plea for clean streets b
caute of the good moral effect. Ho did n
believe that dirty streets and lots overn
with wrcds caused crime , but he was aul
positive from his experience In coses th
had been tried before him that such a coi
dltlon of affairs aided crime and Interfer

.o convince the members that the place wa
as clean as the city hall. Ho proved to b
an exceedingly good natured , but very er
ratlc witness who stumbled over his sub
ect like a wheelbarrow over a stump lol
t took two lawyers nnd the entire member
ship of the board an hour to secure dlrec
answers to halt a dozen questions and in mos
cases the Information secured answered thcl
purpose about as well as n quotatlop fror
Paradise Lost. "
It had also been alleged that the plac
was unsanitary because the stable was close
, o the living rooms. When he was. , aske
how far It was from the kitchen to th
stable the witness promptly replied that I
was so far this way , and then so far tha
way and then so far the other way and b
doubling on his track a couple ot times h
answered with unimpeachable veracity tha
the stables were forty feet away.
In executive session the board afterward
declared the place a nuisance , and the healt
commissioner was instructed to take th
necessary steps to abate It.

There isn't a store in all America that sells goods as
cheap as The Nebraska does day in and day out- -
good goods. You probably know that. You prob
ably" know that we never cut the price on one article
and make it up on the nexl. You probably know
that wo are conducting a square , straight business ,
witjiout any tricks or schemes , and that wo avoid
catchpenny methods and catchpenny statements as
scrupulously as we avoid job lots and Bankrupt
Stocks and trashy bargain counter wares. You can't
buy a poor article at The Nebraska and you can't
buy an article that we are not willing to exchange or
give your money back for in case you don't like it
after you get it home. Today wo call attention to
an immense line of Men's soft bosom Summer Shirts
made for us , made up right , made up with correct
measures and correct sleeve lengths and in correct
patterns from materials that will wash well and
wear. Our price on the e suits while they last will
be 45 cents each buy one or a do/en and at this
price wo consider them amongst the very best shirt
values that we have ever shown. They are "as super ;
ior to the 4' ' . ) cent shirt of bargain counters as a
broadcloth breeches is to a pair of cheap jeans. Sea
these shirts. They'll stand teeing.
Isn't It Better
when selecting shirt waists to go whcro
jou'll find the largest assortment of hand
some patterns ns well as the best fitting
ones ? You'll save tlmo and wo think money
too by coming to us for shirt waists Call
and take a look nnd see what vou think
about It We offer ladles , tics , belts ,
underwear , etc , nt low prices.
