Next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock
the council of the dloceso of Nebraska will
meet In annual session In Trinity cathedral
In this city. Theae meetings are usually
fraught with much that la of Interest to the
welfare of the church , but the present ono
will undoubtedly bo the most Important
since the session nt which Dr. Oeorgo E.
Worthlngton was chosen bishop of the dlo
ceso fifteen years ago. At the meeting n
bishop coadjutor will 'bo ' choaan who wIV
assume the duties of the bishop and direct
the nffalro of the church In the diocese.
Loading Episcopalians In this city say that
the action of the council will have great
Influence , cither for -weal or woe , upon the
church ,
Of late yearn the health of Bishop Worth-
Inston has been no poor that ho could not
Blvo the tlmo to the duties of his position
which the Importance qf the place required.
Ho ha < i taken frequent trips for the benefit
of his health , and while there has been Im
provement , It has teen only temporary. His
physicians at last Informed him that he
could not stand the climate and that If he
cared for his life ho must move nearer the
Beashoro. Upon this recommendation the
bishop nskcd that a coadjutor bo appointed ,
offering to surrender the greater portion of
his salary to ono who would bo selected for
the position. The salary of the bishop Is
$3,500 a year and It 1 understood Mr.
'Worthlngton will give up $3,000 of thin. The
remaining $ EOO , It Is said by those who are
familiar with the bishop's work , will not
nearly cover the amount of the contributions
lie annually makes to the diocese.
Iilvely Content H.vpeeted.
The selection of I IIP bishop coadjutor will
too no easy task. It will not nlone bo a con
test between the friends of the several
clergymen mentioned In connection with the
liofiltlon , but there will bo n contest be
tween the ritualists and untl-riluallsts. The
former allege that they control the diocese
nt this tlmo and they expect to select a co
adjutor - whowill be friendly IT their fac
tion. They claim that NchraBkn Is the third
Plato In the union In the strength of rit
ualism and It Is their ambltltloit to have the
state retain that rank. On the olhor hand ,
the antl-rltuallsts , while admitting they arc
In the minority In the diocese , charge that
the record of the church during the past
few years Is sufllclent argument , -why ritual
ism should no longer bo continued. They
hold that the etato Is too new for ritualism
to bo popular with the masses and assert
that many pcoplu who arc good Episcopa
lians at heart are driven from the church
into other congregations because of toe
jnuch ritualism. They ask that a man be
chosen who Is liberal In his Ideas and who
la In touch with western people nnd their
customs. They predict that If mich a man
bo chosen there will be a revival of Interest
in liiu church at once which -will of Itself
bo a commendation of the -wisdom of the
councll-
Thls lawhere the lines will bo drawn at
the council meeting and where the Interest
of the Episcopalians In this dlocesowill be
centered. The fight which Is on In England
over this same subect will 'bo taken up hero
and the western element will bo arrayed
against the eastern. It Is for this reason
that the prominent workers In the church
look with some concern upon the approachIng -
Ing session of the council , as they feel that
that action taken by that body may anchor
. , the -church where It Is or may push It for
ward and extend Its field of usefulness.
The council -will ho composed of the resi
dent clergymen In the dloceso , and of
three lay delegates from each parish and
ono from each mission. There will bo
about twenty-five clericals and about fifty
laymen. It will require a majority vote
1o so' ' a coadjutor. Primary action -will
bn takt.n by the clergy. They have the
olcc ing to do , and when they agree , their
action will bo submitted to the lay dele
gates for approval. If this approval should
bo denied the clergymen will again meet
and make another selection until they agree
upon some ono satisfactory to the laity.
It Is not expected that any steps will
ho taken toward an election until Thurs
day. The routine business of the council
for the < llocese will betaken up on Wednes
day , but It Is said this can be disposed
of In a short tlmo. Bishop Worthlngton will
probably preside at the session until the
election Is reached , when the clergy will
cheese a presiding officer from among them
selves. Chancellor J. M. Woolworth will
bn entitled to a scat In the council , but
will have no vote.

Walter Vandercrcek of Omaha , aged 19
years , being fired with a zeal to emulate
some of the feats of daring reported from
Manila , concluded to Join the regular army
that ho might have an opportunity to dis

years under the legal ago was not a factor
with Walter , for he felt that patriotism was
not limited by age. Ho easily took the oath
that ho was 21 years old and was duly re
cruited because ho had the appearance of
making a likely soldier. Walter's pa heard
of the tranactlon nnd yesterday ho ap
peared before Lieutenant Dean , the recruit
ing : officer , Ho < lld not want his son to go
toir. . Ho revealed the fact that the ro-
crult was but 10 years of age , which made
enlistment fraudulent and subjected
young Vandercreek to punishment. The boy
will not be taken ns a recruit , but the lieu

Topics For a Day of Rest
Seeking ( i minister who will bo pleasing
to all members of a congregation Is evi
dently not an easy task for the committee
appointed for that purpose by the official
board of the Flrat Mcthodl t church. The
longer the selection U delayed the moro
complicated the situation seems to becomo.
Recognizing the Importance ot the church
hero , the Board of Bishops , which mot re
cently at Syracuse , N. Y. , thought to aid
the local organization by recommending a
man for the place. This man -was Hev. M.
M. Chase , who for five years had filled the
pulpit of a church at Oswcgo , an Important
city. .Mr. Chase's ability as n preacher and
n church builder was such that there was
friendly strife among the bishops to secure
him each for his own territory. Four Im
portant churches In as many different sec
tions of the country , not Including Omaha ,
were In need of just such a man. It la cus
tomary , under the lans of the Methodist
church , In cases ot this kind , for the Board
of Blehops to make a recommendation ,
The board was struggling to agree upon
which of the four churches should have Mr.
Chase when word came of the death of Rev.
Dr. McQUold , nnd the efforts of the church
hqre to find a new pastor. The board rec
ognized at once that the Omaha Held Just
at this Juncture was the most Important one.
and decided to settle the other contwt by
fending Mr. Chase to thla city. The bishops
felt they wore making great concessions to
Omaha and when Chaplain McCabe , now
Bishop McCabe , came hero this week ho
brought Mr. Chase with him. He called n
meeting of the ofilclal board and told what
the bishops had done. Hero was a minister ,
ono of the flowers of the east , who had been
scrambled for by four strong congregations ,
but assigned to Omaha through the exercise
of power conferred upon the bishops , nnd
In compliance with their best Judgment as
lo the needs of the church In this city.
When Bishop McCabe had concluded his
report It Is said that a member of the offlclal
board arose , and , speaking for his fellow-
members , replied that the church would ac
cept no minister until It had heard him
preach ; that Mr. Chnea might como around
In n week or so and try his hand , and II
his product wag satisfactory ho might bo
retained ; and that they had other good men
In view. The bishop answered that this
procedure was not according to the rules
of Methodism , but If the church wanted It
that way he would grant It.
Rov. Mr. Chaeo Is a young man , full ol
energy , and attractive In appearance and
manner. The reports are that ho captivated
many members of the church whom he met ,
and that these bellevo the judgment of the
bishops was correct. However , ho Is sensi
tive and after the action of the official board
ho was dtsprsed to drop the matter and re
turn east , 'but ' It Is said he changed his plan
through the persuasive Influence of the
bishop. He will preach hero Sunday , May
21 , as the bishop -was unable to secure any
change In the arrangements for today from
the official board , -whereby Rev. Frank
Brush of Ottumwa might have his visit
postponed a week to accommodate Mr. Chase.
Some members of the First church nro
now wondering what position the church
will occupy If at any future time It has oc
casion to go before the extension hoard to
oak for help. Such an occasion Is not an
Improbability , for the church Is heavily In
debt , and while the obligations seem to bo
provided for , these matters seldom turn out
as planned. With a record for having turned
down the board of bishops , the statement Is
made that the latter body , when called upon
to endorse an application by this church for
aid from the extension society , may take
the opportunity to reciprocate the treat
ment.
The events of the past week are the prin
cipal subject of conversation among the
members of the First church , and It Is pos
sible the end Is not yet.
The Ministerial union will meet In the
Young Men's Christian association parlors
tomorrow at 10:30 : a. m. Rev. Vyrnwy Mor
gan will read a paper on "Protestantism and
Roman Catholicism. "
A number of prominent Nebraska church
men expect to leave during the coming week

JUSTICE BREWER INTERPRETS THE SIGNS
Done hy Ill otry nndarro
Denominational Strife SlKiit * of
Ilroitder Charity and
Church Unity.
Hon. David J. Brewer , justice ot the su
preme court of the United States , writing
In the Independent on "Tho Church In the
Twentieth Century , " says :
In these closing hours of the nineteenth
century many are speculating as to the
twentieth. It is the theme of many a dis
course. On every hand wo hear prophecies
of greatness nnd glory , or of disaster and
gloom. Somehow or other the passing from
ono century to another seems to be regarded
as a sort of hinge on which Is to swing n
hundred years of startling achievements for
good or bad , weal cr woe.
The scientist , proud of the marvelous In
ventions and discoveries of the present cen
tury , boldly afllrms that we are trembling on
.ho verge of inventions and discoveries far
surpassing In wonder and Importance all
hat have hitherto been achieved. Looking
ovlngly at the telegraph , the telephone , the
ihonograph , the steam engine , electric light
ind power , the cotton gin and all the multl-
ude of machines for doing hand work ; the
daguerreotype , the photograph , the klneto-
Bcope , the anasthetlcs and antiseptics and
ho X-rays , ho rejoices to believe that in
he coming century , fact will quickly anticipate -
pate fancy and the wllJcst dreams of the
maglnation bo transformed by the mystic
Inger of silence Into the realities ot experi
ence and nccessarliH of life.
The scclel economist , as he mourns over
ho maladjustment of social conditiuns , the
earful Inequality between accummulated
wealth on the ono side and abject poverty
on the other , hopes that the com'ns ' century
vlll bring a readjustment on a fairer basis ,
when poverty shall vanish from the face of
ho earth , when each man shall sit In peace
jcncath his own vine and fig tree and enjoy
a comforting share of the good things of
earth ; when wealth shall have lost Itsaiciul
power , and manhocd bo the single test of
social distinction.
And now before the eyes of those who be-
love in the Man of Nazareth , how looms
up that century ? Is It filled with visions of
plendor or freighted with pictures < f gloom' . '
) o we sec on the walls of the tompluwhere
our Christian civilization Is meeting In lux-
irlous banquet the words , Mono , Mone ,
Tekcl , Upharsln , or are wo able to repeat
exultlngly the words of the hymn wo so
often sing :
"Watchman , tell us of the nlsht ,
For the morning seems to dawn ? "
( ircutciUnity. .
I predict that the twentieth century will
> c noted for greater unity in Christian life.
> 'ho present century has been ono of do-
lomlnatlonal rivalry and strife. The next
vill bo ono of Christian unity. In alllrmlng
hat 1 have rightly read the characlcr of the
present century I do not rest on the mitago-
ilain between the Protestant and the Cath
olic churches. That quarrel has raged over
Inco the Reformation , and has divided Into
opposing factions the two great parties of
Christendom. Within the limits of Protes-
nntlBin alone nas been bitter denomlna-
lonal strife. It has run through benevolent
nd educational as well n.s specifically Chris-
Ian work. It has multiplied the number of
ur charitable Institutions , our missionary
oclctlcs , our colleges and universities , and j
las filled every city , town nnd vlllrgo with
nany weak nnd struggling churches Instead
f a few strong and vigorous organizations.
The effort has been to make all good thing *
un along denominate nal lines. The cry
.as been for Congregatlnnallsts to give their
contributions to only such Institutions as
were controlled by CongregattonuIlstB ; the
ilcthodlsts to help only those which the
Methodist church ruled , and so on througt
the denominations.
We especially who have lived on the
frontier have seen and felt the fact and the
wickedness of this strife. The great effort
seems to have been not to make better lives ,
but to make more Methodists , more Presby
terians , more Congregatlonalists , and doing
this , alas , too often only through the break
ing down of other denominations. The
means by which these rivalries have beer
carried on have been too often such as , tc
say the least , are not deserving of com
mendation. When In any community one
denomination put up a building the othei
strove to erect larger. When ono put out a
catalogue of members the others Immedi
ately Issued theirs with larger numbers , and
In order to make the numbers curious prac
tices were resorted to. The spirit of rivalry
In this respect Is well Illustrated by an Inci
dent which Is said to have taken place dur
ing the civil war. Two regiments , ono of
Indiana and the other of Ohio , were camped
together. The chaplain of the former was
an earnest man , through whoso efforts many
conversions took place among the soldiers
In that regiment. When this was reported
to the Ohio colonel , and that forty Indiana
soldiers had been baptized , he promptly Is
sued his order to detail sixty men for Im
mediate baptism , saying that he would bo
blankety-blanked If any Hoosler regiment
should have more Christians In It than the
Fourth Ohio.
Ml HI' " of the TlniCN.
But while this has been largely the spirit
of the present century a marked reaction has
set in. The folly and wickedness of such
rivalry has been felt , and the currents are
moving In the other direction. The deslro
for greater unity is becoming more and
moro manifest. It is asserting Itself with a
vigor which cannot be restrained , and is , I
am sure , to control the whole movement of
the Christian world. Note as among the
evidences of this the many associations and
organizations In which dcnomlnatlonalism is
Ignored and the work is carried on as simply
Christian work. The Young Men's Christian
association Is neither local nor denomina
tional. Its branches extend throughout the
entile length and breadth of the country.
Within Its membership are Included all de
nominations , and Its work Is In no respect
denominational , but simply Christian. Other
nstanccs may be found In the Christian En-
leaver society , the Sunday school unions ,
intl , In a little different form , the various
Chaiitauqua assemblies. These orgnnlza-
tlrns nnd others engaged In their special
work are not destroying denominations , but
nro bringing them Into a greater unity and
filling them with a larger charity , It Is also
wci'thy of note that In most of these the
principal and controlling force Is found
among the young. Out of the young men
and young women of the country Is drawn
the great bulk of their membership , and
youth Is the suggestive fact everywhere ap
parent. They are not the places Into which
rid ago falls , wearied with Its strife and
activities , but where the young who ore to
nako the twentieth century ore being
molded and formed for their life work. It
s not' unworthy of notice , either that the
ancient enemies , Catholicism nnd Protestant-
cm , are drawing closer to each other. The
irclatca and members of the two churches
lo not hesltato to nfllllato In a thousand
forms of labor. Cardinal Ribbons , the head
f the Catholic church In this country , and
3lslmp Parct of the Episcopal church wore j
nvltcd to attend n gathering In which by
car oii of Us official character the rank of
ho various guests was a matter of consid
eration. The bishop , turning to the cardinal - ,
dinal tald , "Which has a higher rank , n I
cardinal In the Catholic or a bishop In the '
Iplscopal church ? " "I do not know , " was
ho reply , "let us not raise the question , '
but Jet us go In side by sldo , " and they did.
U a gathering of CongregatlonulUts In j
cnnsylvanla the eloquent Catholic Archbishop - j
bishop Ilyan of Philadelphia was -welcome
guest and In the course of bin speech be ;
truthfully said that the spirit of charity i
Is the spirit of the day. The tlmo Is past
when the Protestant should look back upon !
the horrible things of the Inquisition and
loriounce Roman Catholicism on account
thereof , or the Catholic , on the other hand ,
look back at the turning of the witches or
the persecution of the Quakers and denounce
Protestantism therefor , but each should
shake hands and Join In a common effort to
further the cause of a common Master.
Growing Spirit of Clitirlty.
I do not Infer from this growing spirit of
charity that denominations are to cease.
Differences of creed and forms of govern
ment and modes of -
-worship will always con
tinue , and each individual will seek that de
nomination which In these respects appeals
most-strongly to his feelings nnd convictions.
Human nature Is variously constituted and
the differences of ono nature will always as
sert themselves in the outward oppression
of our lives. Every man naturally and in
stinctively goes to the place In which ho
feels himself most at case. But I do Insist
that these facts nro indicative that the dif
ferences are no longer
regarded of the es
sence of things , but are llko the clothes w
wear , each putting on the garment whlcn
suits him best and each fooling that it la
but a garment which clothes the man
within and not of the substance of big
life. Wo shall como moro and more to
cease wrangling about the matter ot gar
ments nnd all move forward In a united er-
fort for the bettering of human life.
Miuiy I.IVCM Saved.
In almost every neighborhood there Is
some one whoso life has been saved byt
Chamberlain's Colic , Chorera and Diarrhoea
Remedy , or who has been cured of chronic
diarrhoea by the use of that medicine.
Such persons mnko a point of tolling of It
whenever opportunity offers , hoping that It
may bo the means of saving other lives.
Heavy I.ONNCH of Sheep.
PHICB , Utah , May 13. There are thous
ands of head of dead sheep strewn along the
hills and In the gulchcn Tending Into the
canyons of the Price river some twenty-flvo
miles to the west of here. Flock owners
have been out slnco the cold snap of ten days
ago getting their herds together and find the
worst condition of affairs that has existed
for many years. The 70,000 head or morn
sheared at Prlco and 35,000 at Colton were
sent Into the hills , where there was snow nt
the tlmo nnd where the grazing was good.
Out of 40,000 head owned In Prlco thnro Is
a loss already accounted for of over 3,500.
Herds further back In the hills will have
heavier losses.
