" lie did not refer to the HOWH column of personals , but to advertisements that tire Inserted un der that heading. Hy way of Introductory the speaker admitted the power of the press , nlthor for gcod or for evil , as the capo may ho. He ald the editor of today would pub lish a learned sermon In one column of Ills paper , while In another column he wouM Klvo spnco to an advertisement Indicating \vhoro vice might bo found. The fact that such advertisements arc pnlA for Ilev. Johns'qn did not consider an excuse for publication. Ho Indicated that If he were running n newspaper he would publish only , i the good and omit the bad , regardless of bimlntwi effect. Ho said the pulpit welcomes the press as n co-workor so far as it goes In the up building of mornlR and In war on vice , but ho declared that the irJItnr of a paper has no more right to supplement his good edi torials with bad advertisements than a preacher has to preach a mural sermon and tjon almcpt In the same breath accept pay for the promotion of vice. Along this line tlov. Johnson talked at length. Ho made no perosnal attack on the newspapers of Omaha , but rather spoke In general of all metropolitan newspapers throughout the United States.

In the series of "Epochs and Bpoclimnkj-ra , " * , The church was. filled by n nplon'did audience and the Interest was decidedly manifest. Hev. Trefz said in part : v "There is a radical difference between opjnlon nnrt belief ; between mc.ro reli gion and the Christ life. God moves the world through belief. Have a care for the man of conviction. Conviction In act has caused the storm of revolution nnd reformation mation that have purged church and stnto of Infamy and Iniquity. Protestantism was In the church long before Luther spoke. St. Hefnard and Sav.inarola were Protest ants , The reformation was a reformation for the church of Homo as well as for Protestantism. Former nbusoa hnvo been corrected. The church Is cleansed of the wickedness that married Its mediaeval life. Luther did as much for the Roman church ns ho did for Protestantism. He was great because he was good. . He was suc cessful because he was sincere.

Sncrnl Concert Stiiuliij- Afternoon I Pro * 01 ti Itnrt * Trent. , | The organ recital at Trinity cathedral i Sunday afternoon developed Into a Ural- ! class saorcd concert. The miislc-liisplrlns ' church was crowded to lift fullest cflpaclty , many occupying senta In the chancel , while others were content with the distant sounds that could Incidentally be heard trom the crypt. The principal feature of the program was , without disparagement of the others , the new composition of Slgmund l.andsberg , the well known pianist of local distinction. The words were srlttcn by Mr. Charles Curtz Hnhti and the title , "My Cfuclflr , " was nptly chc cn. The work Is arranged for voice , organ and string ( junrtot. It Is original , without Icing extravagant ; muslclanly , without effort at being so , and singable throughout. A Blanco at the score revealed n place or two where the volco part Is too low to do Justice to the voice agalnnt a powerful In strumental crescendo and had the. composi tion been written In six-eight tlmo Instead of two-four the instrumentalists would have found It easier to accommodate themselves to the tempo. Mr. kandsbcrg Is entitled to all the prnlao he receives on the general I merit of the opus. I Messrs. Krnest Nordcn , Kmll Hoffman , | | I Albln Huster and Carl Smith contributed a i rare nnd enjoyable offering In the Orleg String quartet. The number \n \ distinctly Norwegian : It abounds In scntlmoat , tone color and climax building. These gentlemen played with the natural abandon which the northern features of the quartet demand and the more legato work was not far from excellent. A string quartet arrives nt per fection only through constant ensemble study and from the present Indications the artists In question will make for the string quartet a place that It deserves In local nmilral circles. ! Mr. OScar Oarelssen was In good voice ' and was quite an addition to the program. He sang the vocal part of "My Crucifix" with much Runtlment. i Mr. Uutlcr's organ numbers were good In all respects and his accompaniments wtro i thoroughly supporting. He played a "Storm" , urrnngctnont of bis own. which was suffi ciently realistic to startle some ot the timid ones In the audience. The "wind" ' motive was prominent , all that was absent ! i being the dust , to which Ncbraakans nro accustomed. Speaking of dust , the offertory was pref aced by an address of Bomo minutes' duration - > l ration by Dean Fair , during which he re ferred to the article on free music In the music column of The Sunday Hoc. The recital was a brilliant musical suc cess , for which Mr. Duller must be per sonally complimented , as the program was one requiring much rehearsal. nituvrs ciiins'iiAN SOCIALISM. j i . I Her.

" "I don't understand this to mean , how ever , that wo are to have a common treas ury , " said the pastor. "I don't think the tlmo Is rlpo for that , though the day may como when we will have a Christian so cialism. I can't say this with certainty ; I nm not n prophot. I only know that Chris tian socialism was tried In the days of the npoatlca , and that It failed. "Some persons think that when they be come perfect Christians the Lord ought to take them out oE this world. Well , you show me n perfect Christian , in the sense that Enoch or Klljah was perfect , and I will concede that Gcil ought , perhaps , to translate , him. Hut I would want to be very sure that ho was of the same spiritual liber as Enoch or Elijah. In any event It IH not necessary for a Christian to die in order to enjoy heaven. " Preceding the sermon Captain John Swobo and J. K.

Clyde Clay Clssell spoke OP the topic , "Going to the Dad , " his re- markH being devoted to the dangers encom passing young men when they leave the In fluence of home life. The text was chosen from the parable of the prodigal son. "Tho prodigal son has no distinct Jewish significance , " said Mr. Clssell , "It Is n plc- turn of young men In every age growing restleea under the restraints of home and venturing Into the world. With great Joy they leave the old roof-tree ; the world to them Is rose-colored , full of song and hi larity. When they come to themselves In the land of their venture they often flud that they have been 'going to the bad. ' How many aching hearts tonight are asking the old question , 'Where l my wandering boy1 And If wo could pull the curtain from many haunts of vice In this city wo should find many a well-born , well-reared boy there.

A Christmas gift of n box of cigars to ft man who doesn't smoke and their subse quent transfer for n money consideration has formed the nucleus for a practical Joke on n prominent Omaha citizen. The aforesaid prominent citizen occupies a position of such a nature that his favor Is often sought by means of gifts of various descriptions , lloxcs of cigars without number have been showered upon him , but owing to his lack | of cultivation of the tobacco habit , the fra grant weeds were always generously ills- ' trtbutod among bin associates In a certain big olTlca. Christmas , l&OO , came and the boys looked forward to the distribution of choice Havanas , presuming on his receipt of his usual quota. Hut they waited In vain. Finally , with curiosity aroused , ono of their number with some of the Instincts of a Sherlock Holmes , discovered that a friend of the prominent citizen had suddenly become - ( come extravagant In his smoking habit , havIng - , Ing eschewed "o-ccntcrs" and taken to the , "two-for-n-quartcr" variety. The remark ! was made to him ono day that he was smnk- ' Ing rather expensive cigars. He replied that they were pretty line , but cost him only $2 a box. His clc o acquaintance with the man who visually received choice cigars ns ChristI I mas alfts warranted the assumption of some connection between the fine smokers which hi ? was pulling and the absence of the usual cigar distribution to thp boys In the office , j The boys let n mutual friend Into the secret. Not personally known to their su perior olllcer he evolved a plan to investi gate the affair and make a Joke of it. Hav- Ing ascertained that It was In violation of the revenue laws for anyone to sell cigars cither In small or large quantities without ! a license , he took a long chance and , going to thu office of his friends , called out their employer and Informed him that evidence had been collected showing that he had ilia- posed of a box of cigars In violation of the , revenue laws. The man of affairs wilted In a moment. Ho made no attempt to deny | I the stranger1 * ) right to look lute his private business , but admitted that ho had received a box of cigars for n Christmas gift and , not Indulging In the smoking habit , had sold It to a friend. Ho promised to return the money to the purchaser and take back the remaining port of ' .ho box. Last Tuesday night the boys , with their Joker friend , met In the lobby of a down town hotel where , nt an appointed hour , a messenger boy came from the boss bearing the remainder of the clears. They smoked the fragrant Importations and decided that nt an auspici ous opportunity they would tell their chief how he had been "jobbed.

Who says The Bee Is not an effcctlYe ad vertising medium ? While the court and lawyers were waiting for an absent witness Friday Judge M linger fell into a reminiscent mood and told the story of twelve disgusted Jury- i men. "It was In the Modern Woodman | ' case , " said the judge , "and the point Involved - i volved was purely one of law , but a jury bad been Impanelled. I sent the jury from the room and , turning to the attorneys for the plaintiffs , I told them that I would overrule their motion , let the Jury hear the casa and then instruct it to bring In n verdict I i I for the defendant. Then the Jury was called I in and the taking of testimony begun. All I through the case the jury took the greatest Interest In the case and thought It was really a part of the trial.

"When the word came to Dallas county , " ' said the old trooper , who was not one of I the party. "Captain Newport called his company out to harraea the ennmy on Us nyirch. This was before the company had been mustered Into the regular service of the confederacy , nnd wo were called 'home i ; guards , ' but we were nil southern aympaI I I thlzers and U was generally known what ] I service we would Join. For fear of local federals - erals the captain , In his ordi'ra. stated that wo were called out to keep the federal sol diers from foraging upon the country , but after wo had left the town he told us his plan to annoy Slegel.

Among the twenty-throe performers who help to furnish the nniuxo- mcnt thennro none whoje names nro fa mous In the theatrical world , but this fact makes them none the less capable of suc | j cessfully pleasing their audiences. Music nnd comedy art- the predominating features of the performance , the artistic hit of which U made by the Windom quintet , comprising William Windom , the popular song writer , author of "The Fatal Wedding" nnd the lllackfitono quartet , four colored nlngera With exceptionally good voices. Mr. Windom Is the possessor of a beautiful contra-tenor voice , which Is heard to advantage In a number of dlfllcult classical , as well as some popular vocal selections , In the rendition of which the colored singers assist. The laughing lilt of the performance Is about equally divided between Kmmons , Kmmcr- non nnd Kmmons , who offer a comedy full of bright sayings , funny falls nnd clever burlesque nnd Fey and Clark whose , little comedy sketch Is a laugh producer par ex cellence. The Sohlkes offer a clever novelty sing ing , dancing and cake-walking act , In which five little copper-colored pickaninnies play an Important part. The opening nceno of this specialty shows four immense palm trees in the background and to the surprise ot the audience the top of these prove to bo pickaninnies with little else for u covering than n good-sized palm leaf. The lads have good voices and Join heartily In the chorus of several popular vocal selections , ns well as executing n graceful cake-walk. Mnudo Meredith Is a vocalist of rare beauty , a pleasing peiBonallty nnd a liquid eoprano volco of unusual quality and clear- nets. She sings several decidedly pleasing pieces , among which Is a vocal adaptation of ousa' well-known march , "Unchain The Dogs Of War , " My Lady You" and "One Night In June. " Miss Meredith scored a decided hit at both Sunday performances , which she promises to repent during the balance of the week. The Everet Trio offers a diversified act , Including some dlfflcult feats of juggling , balancing and remavk- able acrobatic work. Edward and Thomas Miles , amateur proteges of Manager Hos- eiilhal'u.made their first professional appear- mice yesterday afternoon. Part ot their specialty ' cialty was nove'l , and Judging from the amount of laughter and applause It was productive - ductive of the audience doubtless found It enjoyable. "Von YoluiKon' ' "Yon Yonson , " the Swedish dialect com edy , was the bill , mediocre In character , pre sented nt Boyd's Sunday. At both matinee and evening performances the house was well filled , such an attraction never falling to draw a crowd when superior plays receive but meager patronage. The presentation of the old-time comedy pleased the crowds , the quaint philoscphy and the ridiculous actions of "Yon Yonson" meeting with unmistakable favor. The company was fairly good , the scenery and mechanical effects being up to the average. A clover Hinging nnd dancing specialty was Introduced by Miss Grace Hazard.

There Is another argument advanced against the circuit plan. There Is no track west of New York which has n member- ship In the American Turf congress that can accommodate more than 730 horses. There are 2.000 to 3,000 race horses In active training during the season. If only one track runs at a tlmo , or even two tracks , some of the horses must remain Idle , because they cannot IViid stable room sf- the various tracks. Last year there wore nearly 2,000 race horses lit Chicago and they were main tained for the reason that the two tracks , Hawlhorno and Harlc/m / , divided dales. The stables at both were full. Had Hawthorne nnd Harlem been compelled to fill dates without the opposition of Detroit and St. ! Lou'ls there would have been moro demand for room than could have been nccommo- ] dated. On general principles , It Is figured , that If Latoiila or Louisville , for Instance , race without oppcsltlrn , there will be nt least 1,500 horses In Idleness. i.orisvu.i.u .IOCKKY ci.in ; STAICISS. fop tlic Spring Mccllniy of ItlOO Will t'loNf .Inimiiry 15.
