More than one kind of profanity was found
in human conduct generally by Itev. Newton
M. Mann , pastor of Unity church , In his ser
mon on that subject yesterday morning. The
criticism arising over the picturesque lan
guage employed by some of the naval officers
In the late war with Spain supplied a rea
son for the discourse. His texts were from
Leviticus xlx , 12 and Jeremiah xxlll , 15 , but
he added another from Lawrence Sterne's
"Undo Toby , " In the oath which the re.
cording nngcl blotted out with a tear. Said
the preacher :
Fighting Is generally accompanied by n
great deal of swearing. There was doubtless -
loss much of It In the last war. Considering
the kind of luck they had , the Spanish
probably swore worse than our men , but as
It was In another tongue It was no under
stood by us and Its effect is lost. A few
of our naval officers acquired an unenviable
repuatlon through their rccklera use of ex
pletives and this has made them' subject
to a deal of adverse criticism. A prom
inent eastern divine .In taking up the
cudgel In defense of these officers Indulges
In language which would make even them
blush. Profane swearing Is reprehensible ,
os Is manifest In withholding from It In
the presence of ladles. On shipboard Its
UBO ban doubtless become so general that n
sudden cessation of It would be Inconvenient
and Impracticable , as with Uie use of narcot-
ICH. The moat that can bo said of swearIng -
Ing Is that there are a great many worse
things , and that contrasted with the high
crimes It becomes a mere pecadlllo. Many
of us have heard of the rebuke of the old
parson to n man ho caught swearing pro
fusely : "Do you not know , sir , that you
are Imperilling your immortal rout and ,
what Is worse , Incurring a fine of 5 shill
ings ? " Which not only showed the low
estimate placed upon the offender's soul ,
but the law's small estimate of the offense ,
as well. A prominent man In Connecticut
was fined for saying "Damn , " and the
papers took up the matter with much ridi
cule and n fear that the "Ditto Laws of
Connecticut" were about to be revived.
Nevertheless , this offense Is exalted to a
plnco In the decalogue and both Jeremiah
and Ezcklcl reprimanded the people for
their profaning the temple of their God.
lament the Standard.
The remarkable feature about profanity Is
that the reputation of God himself Is at
stoke. A higher order of prophets thought
less of victories of arms than of victories
of morals. Amos and Isaiah knew that In
the competitive trial of l-cllglons the prl/e
of superiority would go to that order of re
ligion which could show the highest de
gree or human character. Baal , Chemosli ,
Astarto and many other gods nil contended
with Jehovah for the distinction of being the
supreme deity and when ho people profaned
the name of Jehovah It degraded him In
the estimation of the nations. Nations and
their gods arc Judged by the character of the
people. Thus cults of empires have come
to nought. That Is the best religion which
makes the best men : that la the best author
ized worship which leads up to righteous
ness of life. MOBCS , Jesus , Zoroaster ,
Buddha all have said : "Ye arc the light
of ho world : fall not to let your light
shine. "
Llko the law of the state , the obligation
npplles to oil , whethergood or bad. Our
benign laws "come from the orderly class of
society. The peed man has therefore an
extra moral responsibility. If ho sins the
moral standard Is lowered ; ho drags down
the general reputation of righteousness.
However , while Impurity and profanity In
the back alley nro Intolerable , they seem
to bo condoned In those ot high degree.
The unregulated lives of priests and kings
have done Infinitely more harm In keeping
the standard of morality low than any other
thing. The peccadillos of our great men
nro subjects for Interesting gonslp and fur
nish Incidents for stories which we never
tire of hearing. The man who would bribe
a legislature to rob the public of millions
scorns not so bad. Those who devote their
Hvns to wholesale robbery , carried on In
legal form , are still respected. The people
ore not surprN > d at the politician who
amasses great wealth. No responsibility
seems attached to those who nro In supreme
power. Yet the debasement of public mor
ality by men In public life Is the most rep
rehensible form of profanity , because It Is
n profancinent of sacred and transcendent
realities. Slighting God's precepts , they
profane more than His name.
I'rufanlty thnt Conic * Home ,
Other kinds of profanity , said Dr. Mann ,
are the hypocritical professions In the name
of human brotherhood , liberty and truth.
On this point he observed :
Wo hear much said about human brother
hood. It Is more than creed or right ; It
springs from without the church , ns well
us fiom within. Wo find It In Lowell , Hugo
nnd Browning In nil our great poets and
novelists. It may bo called the Idea of
the nlnetecnh century nnd the world would
bo poorer without It. But tha profession
of this sentiment results In a great pro
fanity. No sooner ore we through one war
than wo are ready for another. The- brother
hood of Christian nations Is of a peculiarly
ferocious kind , akin to that of wild beasts.
It .Is the same with Individuals In their
strife and competition. Professors of It
have upheld slavery. H does little now
to lessen thu distance between the aristo
crat and the peasant Nowhere Is this more
manifest than In the Protestant churches ,
which are almost wholly given over to the
rich. So nlth liberty. Napoleon the Little ,
In the second empire , was profuse In hie
proclamations in the name of liberty. It
has been the boast of all those who have
sought to curtail the liberties ot the pee
ple. These are Judaees , who make a pre
tense of loving Liberty only to betray her ,
and In this they have had wonderful suc
cess. This Is profaning a holy word worse
than the offense ot the officer of the navy.
LlkowUo with truth Truth Is at the end
of the quest. It Is not to bo defended butte
to be discovered. About the most outrageous
and Irreverent profanation Is the attempt
to stifle Investigation ot the things of the
universe , as though God's truth Is In danger
of being upset. Herein to where wo differ
from the orthodox churches , who are con
tinually setting up defences around about
their creeds.

The annual Sunday school rally at St.
Mary's Avenue Congregational church oc
curred yesterday. Invitations had been ex
tended to all deacons , former and present
pupils , and especially to parents , that they
might sec what work Is being done and how
the Sunday school Is prospering. Another
purpose of the rally U to regain all the old
pupllH and arouse Interest among the new
for the coming year.
There was a large attendance present and
much Interest was shown by all. W. H.
llujst'll , who was superintendent of the
Sunday school thirteen years ago , spoke on
"Tho Sunday School as It Was Ten Years
Ago. " H. H. Harder , recently elected su
perintendent , epoko on "Tho Sunday School
as It IB at Present. " Dr. 8. Wright Butler ,
pastor of the church , spoke on "Tho Future
of the Sunday School. " David Vernor , second
end vlco president of the Commercial Na
tional bank of Chicago , who Is a prominent
Sunday school worker of the Congregational
church , talked of the work In general.
Mrs. G. M. Nattluger , the present super
intendent , called the school to order , and
after the opening hymn , the Lord's prayer
and a responsive reading , Miss Terry Bang
"Tho Ninety and Nine. " iMrs. Nattlnger
explained the purpose of the rally as being
to get new scholars , to arouse Interest In the
old scholars and to get the deacons and
teachers more closely Interested In their
work. She then called upon Mr. Russell for
a short talk on "The Sunday School as It
Was Ten Years Ago. " Ho said In the course
of his remarks that ho was made superin
tendent In 1886. The enrollment then was
299 , the average attendance 190. Some of
the Sunday school workers then were : Mrs.
Putnam , Mrs. Bryant , Mrs. Jarvls , Mrs.
Poor , Miss Conncll , Miss Harncy , Miss Ben
son , Miss Greenley , Mr. Williams , Mr.
Bolter , Mr. and Mrs. Northrup , Mr. Scott
and Mr. Belden.
Mr. Harder , the coming superintendent ,
speaking on the present , mentioned sever.il
ways In which the Sunday school was now
better equipped. He paid a tribute to Mrs.
Nottlnger by prophesying a big school In the
future. He then cited John Wanamakcr's
Sunday school of 5,000 members In Phila
delphia as an example to be followed. He
told of Mr. Wanamnker going from Wash
ington to Philadelphia every Sunday when
ho was postmaster general , BO thnt the work
of I1io school would not lag. This was an
example for school superintendents to fol
low now.
Dr. Butler said : "There Is one thing about
the school In the future. In thirteen years
from now wo will all be members still. We
will stand a better chance to be In life then
If we are Sunday school scholars. Those
who are good live longest. " Ho spoke of t'he
United States army of 200,000 and the army
of Sunday school children , 14,000,000 , and
s.itd that the latter could accomplish the
most good. Halites enable the Sunday school
army to charge up the hill and carry the
flag of the Sunday school to victory. Pat
rick Henry said there Is * no better way of
Judging the future than by the past. Wo
have had and have now more soldiers under
our banner than any other army In the
country , and we always will haye. "
Then the boys and girls who had attended
school for six Sundays or more during July
and August were called tx > the front nnd blue
ribbons were pinned on them. This was
called ' 'recognition ' of heroes. " Dr. Butler
gave them a short talk , saying the school
took pride In them. They were the same
kind of heroes as Stonewall Jackson , who
got his name on the baylcfleld at Bull Run.
They got tthe name attending school when
others failed. They were : Mabel Hlgglns ,
Nellie Klnney , Bessie Knapp , Mattlo Bliss ,
Lela Scrlbner , Ada Patterson , Winifred Wll-
cox , Raymond Wllber , Frank Miller , How

.YcucNNiiry to the Church.
The congregation of the Seward Street
Methodist church last week completed the
repairs and decoration of the Interior of their
house ot worship and yesterday morning's
service being the first to be held after the
renovation , the pastor , Rev. A. C. Welch ,
appropriately selected for his text II Chronicles
' 'And of the Lord filled
icles vll , 1 , the glory
the house. "
Dr. Welch first gave a minute description
ot Solomon's temple in Jerusalem on Mount
Morlah , telling of the beauty of Its archi
tecture and the enormous amount of gold
and precious stones used In the decoration
of Its Interior. Then ho told of the finish-
lug of the work on the temple and the bring
ing In of all the things that David had d .1l-
cated , the feast held In honor of Its comple
tion and the sacrifices of sheep and oxen
that could not bo told for the number. After
the sacrifices ho said the Levltcs who were
singers , arrayed In white linen and carrying
cymbals and harps , lifted up their voices In
praise of God , saying , "He Is good , for Ills
mercy cndurcth forever. " Then the houao
was filled with a cloud eo that the priests
could not stand to minister and the glory
of the Lord filled all the place. Ibis the
divine presence the pastor said was the
crowning glory ot the great temple that Solo
mon bad erected. Without it all the Inlaid
gold and precious stones and all the beautiful
cherubim that adorned its Interior would
have lost their lustre.
Bringing the Illustration down to the
members ot his congregation , he called at-

Hook and ladder No. 2 was badly wrecked
at 7:30 : o'clock last night In responding to
an alarm of flro at 1309 North Twenty-fourth
street. The truck left the house at Twenty-
ourth and , Cumlng street with Captain
) in eon on the seat and five truckmen on
he side steps. As it swung Into Twenty-
ourth street running north the driver ob
served a street car approaching from the
amo direction and endeavored to get the
hlty-foot truck across the tracks ahead a/
t. The car was too quick , however , and
struck the truck fairly back 6f the middle.
The latter was capsized , the wheels Jerked
rom beneath It and the springs bent and
twisted. Truckman Charles Mattson , who
vos on the step near the point of collision ,
vas thrown violently to the pavement and
jadly bruised about the body. He was at-
ended by a physician and later sent to bis
lome. His Injuries will not prove serious.
The other firemen went over when the truck
capsized , but none of them are injured bo-
end a shaking up and were not relieved
rom duty.
Motor car 161 was somewhat damaged
about the front platform. Nona of the pas-
engcrs were injured.
The llrm alarm to which the company ro-
ponded was caused by a lamp explosion In
hu fiat occupied by Mrs. Jaqu'lth. Slight
lamage was done to the wood work of the
> ath room.
The same blazing kerosene lamp was the
cause of a serious ' accident to Clifford
Slowby , 14 years old , who was ou his way
lomo to 1014 Charles street. As ho was
crossing Twentieth street near Charles he
stepped In the rear of a street car and
emerged directly In the path of Chief Win-
dom's horse and buggy as It was responding
o the flre alarm at a rapid rate. The boy
was knocked down and the wheels passed
over his body. Ho was taken to his home in
ho patrol wagon. Severe bruises were
found across his body , but it is not thought
hat there are Internal Injuries and his con
dition is not dangerous.

FRESH BEEF FOR THE BRITISH
Oattlo Slaughtered in South Omaha to Qraco
London Butchers' Blocks.
GREAT ENTERPRISE OF ARMOUR & .CO.
IlnllDellrcrlNof Frcnh llccf In tlic
Mctropoll * linn llrcii Ar-
For 'by the I'rlnco
of I'acUcrn.
An elaborate 'scheme for furnishing the
people of Great Britain -with American
drcsaed beef has Just been Inaugurated by
Armour & Co. and Its effect will bo Impor-
ant upon the packing house Industry at
South Omaha. The plan Is to offer a dally
Bcrvlco of dressed beef shipments from New
fork to London. Tula service will furnish
American beef to the English markets direct
rom refrigerator cars without the Inter-
vcntlon of wholesale houses or special
agents.
The scale upon which the traffic Is planned
s such Uiat the facilities at Omaha , oven
with the model plant recently added to the
company's equipment , and the Union Stock
rnrds at Kansas City , will bo Inadequate to
landllng the beef and preparing It for ship
ment. Plans are already In preparation for
enlarging the Omaha plant and In addition
o the sum of $1,000.000 already expended
hrce-quartcrs of a million more has been
set aside for Its Improvement. The changes
contemplated will practically double the
capacity and will Involve the erection of half
a dozen buldlngs. The benefit which the
enlargement will confer upon the city will be
equal to that which was noted when the
ilant of Armour & Co. was originally lo
cated there a few months ago. A marked
stimulus to the stock-growing Industry of
ho surrounding country and the business
ntercsts of the city will TieInnvliat'y
brought about.
It Is expected also that a considerable
amount will , be expended at the Kansas City
ilant. The money will not be used In en-
arglng the plant so much as In bringing It
up to date and In centralizing the power
ilant. The power which Is now generated
n about twenty-five engine
rooms will bo
centered In ono power station and dla-
rlbuted by electrical transmissions to vari
ous departments. Three 400-ton rcfrlgerat-
ug machines will also bo erected.
Line of VffmclH Already .
Arrangements for the dally service to
England have already been completed so
that the plan will bo put In operation
within a few weeks. Refrigerator space In
vessels of several transatlantic lines lias
been engaged and sufficient room will be
chartered in this manner to furnish the
dally service. Most of the consignments
will bo carried by the Cunard and White
Star lines and they will transport the beef
: o England as fast na It can bo rushed from
Omaha and Kansas City to the seaboard.
1'rellmlnary arrangements for the gigantic
enterprise were completed In England 'sev
eral months ago by Arthur Meeker , export
imnoger for Armour & Co. , and since
then the preparations for inaugurat
ing the service hava been carried out. A
number of the firm's older employes , both
[ rom the Chicago and Now 'York offices ,
have arranged to locate permanently In
3reat Britain 'and the finishing touches to
the deal are being given by J. Ogden
Armour , who Is now in.England. .
The details of the p'lans for distribution
n Great Britain have not been fully worked
out. ' The railway ' .companies there will not
allow outsldo Intercsta-to operate care over
their tracks , as lsfdoio here , but thlB''dlfll-
culty will bo overcome by the railways
themselves providing the required re
frigerator service. The Armour people dis
claim being pioneers lin the movement , but
still admit that their plan is practically a
new departure. They are , in a sense , feelIng -
Ing their way In the British distributing
market.
When Sir Thomas J. Lip ton , one of the
greatest British distributers of food prod
ucts and who has a packing housoi at the
Chlcag ? stock yards , was In this , country
recently on a customary business trip , he
iad numerous conferences with Mr. Armour.
Every packing house in the west has been
watching the new enterprise with intense
Interest. The dressed beef companies here
hitherto have found email profit and great
expense In exporting fresh beef by cold storage -
ago to England and none of them has ever
ventured anything more than o weekly serv
ice. Armour & Co. have never gone
Into the dressed be f export business at all ,
though for years they have been exporting
enormous quantities of canned and cured
meats to Great Britain.
Will Control the Trmle.
nival packers pay that Mr. Armour Is
going Into the new export business on a
scale that Indicates he expects soon to con
trol nil the American dressed beef sales In
the British Isles. Nothing stated by the
Armour people , however , would give such
an Intimation.
For several years the bulk of the frcah
beef exporting business to England has been
In the hands of Nelson Morris & Co. and
one.or two other firms , the former , It Is
said , doing the bulk of the exporting.
The plans for the now Industry arc said
to be largely the product of P , D. Armour's
resourceful brain and It Is also said that
Mr. Armour first conceived the plan when
ho went to Europe one year ago and come
back , declaring that England and Europe
wanted all the American products they
could get.
Armour & Co. have had men In all
the big English cities for years and to this
extent have lines established. Up to this
time London has been the dressed beef
trade center and the market fluctuates
wildly , aa suppllcn happen to bo excessive
or below requirements. If the American
plan of distribution succeeds In Great
Britain Interior dealers will not have to depend -
pond on London , but practically will have
supplies brought to their doors.
The COB ! of Freeing Culm.
The United States ore certainly entitled to
retain possession of the Philippine Islands If
the peace commissioners ea decide , for the
cost of the war runs far Into the millions ,
and the end Is not vet The money paid out
reaches an astonishing total. To free the
stomach , liver , bowels and blood of disease ,
however. Is not an expensive undertaking. A
few dollars Invested In Hostettcr's Stomach
Bitters will accomplish the task easily. The
poor as well as the rich can afford It.

NATION OF BALD HEADS.
A current writer has referred to the p ooplo of this country as a "Nation of Bald
Heads , " and It would seem there was amp le reason for the obHervatlon. The "front
row" at the opera , which has by mutuii 1 consent and custom been dedicated to
centlemen with "high foreheads , " has now widened to the front six rows , and
threatens to monopolize ull the parquetto s cats. The condition anionn the ladlet ) Is
as bad and If anything worse. The sayln K , "Woman's crowning Blory Is her hair. "
in a majority of CAMS is now n mere burle sque. It is a common thing to hear the
complaint. ' 'My hatr Is comlnc out In han dfuls , " or "My hair Is nearly nil eonu. "
Tha condition of affairs noted above mak cs the vlalt ot the lady representatives of
the Seven Sutherland Sisters to this city p artlcularly opportune just at this time.
These Indies have hair over seven fe t Ion K , crown with the celebrated fievn Suth-
rrland Sisters' Hair Grower. The wonder ful sucoesa of the Hair Tonic on their own
hulr made these ladles enthualiiHtlc on th e subject of the hair and scalp and finally
led to th lr employment by the Seven Slat ers , wha hava inducted them into the ecf-
nce of growlnp the hair.
For a few aay thete experts may bo B wm and consulted free of charge nt the
well known pharmacy of Sherman & McC onnt-ll Drue Co. on Dodge street between
the old and new poatofllces. Their beautlf ul hair alone is worth a trip to Omaha
from any part of the btnto and will form o no of Omaha/a principal attractions Jubilee

braska are the same this week aa they wore last week
and so they are at other stores , only the advertising
men are trying to attract McKinley's attention , and
they're saying lots of things ijitho papers that they
don't really mean. If you w"anTto see some great
suits , some great money's worth in suits , some great
examples of how The Nebraska is going to celebrate
McKinley week , just drop in here today , tomorrow ,
any day this week , and see the great stacks of "new
heavy weight suits in bird's eye worsteds , in ribbed
worsteds , in fancy silk mixed worsteds and in solid
silk mixed and fancy cassimeres which wo place on
sale this morning at 7.50 , 8.50 and 10.00 a suit. AVe
want every man and woman who has over heard of
The Nebraska , or who has ever done business with us ,
to come in hero and examine these magnificent suits.
They'll please you. They'll surprise you. They'll
show you that for real downright bargains for
straight goods .and straight values there's only one
house in this western country that's entitled to your
patronage on the grounds of value received , and
that house is the one that signs this advertisement
and will back up anything it repressnts.
