EVENING WITH MENDELSSOHN! persists IN THE DENIAL 1. ending .Munlelnitn nt First .Methudlut Clinrch Dr. Hirst's Mention, Judge Wlnfleld Scott Strawn, one of the prominent lawyers ot Omaha, died sud denly of heart disease Sunday forenoon at IiIb apartments In the Karnam flats, 1821 Farnam street. Ho arose at tho wiuul hour and seemed tn be In bis normal iicalth and spirits. After taking a bath he retired to his room. About 10:30 o'clock one ot the maids rapped at his door and, us there was no response, entered and found lilm lying on his back, crosswise of the bed. He was nulto dead. She gave iho alarm and a physician wits cnlled, Init he could do nothing more than write the death "certlflcati!. Mrs. Strawn, who Is now In California, was notlllcd at once. She loft Omahn 11 few days ago with n party of tourists as tho guest of Mrs. .1. H. McConnell. Judge Strawn has been a sufferer from nn affection of tho heart for several yearn and he has often been heard to xay that he thought the end was near. Ho was present In the court room durlujt the lust week In December when Judge Ogdon was stricken with heart fallur'. and It Is said that thin incident preyed upon his mind and that he regarded It somewhat in the light of a premonition ot hts own death. Tho Klka' lodge, of which he was a mem ber, has taken charge ot tho body and the funeral will probably bo rond'.cted under Its auspices. Tlir llecrnarri XVnn RS Vrnra Olil, In 1SS3-I Wlnfleld Scott Strawn was a student of tho law school ot tho Iowa Wes Itfynn university at Mount Pleasant, of which Hon. James Harlan was then presi dent. A few years later James Harlan was called Into President Lincoln's cabinet and he asked Mr. Strawn to be, his private sec retary. Strawn acted In this capacity and later held a law desk In the Interior de partment. In tho '70s h$ 'located at Hed Oak, la., where ho practiced law until he came to Omaha, about 1881V Shortly before coming here he uas a court commissioner of Iowa, from which service he took the tltlo ot judge. During tho civil war he was captain In one ot the Iowa regiments and during recent years has been prominent In Grand Army ot the Republic circles. "I was given up to die from heart and nervous troubles caused by grip. Six bot tles each of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and Nervine cured me." Mrs. John Wolle't, Jefferson, Wis. TO BUILD A NEW CHURCH I'nlhrr llnrrliiKtou linn Completed Pinna for HI. Ot-llln'a nn Fortieth Street. Father Harrington of tho St, Cecilia's parish has completed planB for the erection of n new church at Fortieth and Burt streets, the estimated cost of which Is $25,000. Tho plans of the architect show a building of Gothic lines, with departures therefrom approximating tho earlier Ro man. Considerable Interest centers around thin new church, as tho par'shioners of St. Cecilia's bellovo that tho new edifice will In time become tho chapel of a new cathe dral. Tho officers of tho Catholic church work slow and bishops often lay plans which will be carried out by their suc cessors. It has been an open secret for some tlmo that tho church Is proparlng for tho tlmo when tho present cathedral will have to be abandoned and It Is said by good authority that when the new ca thedral Is built It will bo erected within closo proximity to the episcopal residence. Tho location of tho new church of St. Cecilia Is admirably suited to tho purpose, as It Is within a few blocks of tho resi dence and cvon closer to tbo Academy of tho Sacred Heart In Park place. Tho new church will bo constructed of Kdgcmont stone, with trimmings In lighter material. It will have a seating capacity of 400 and will bo one of the most completo church edifices In tho city. The present building In this parish was built eleven years ago, on leased ground, and tho parish has outgrown Its capacity. A magnificent congregation filled the First Methodist Episcopal church Sunday night, the principal attraction being "An Evening with Mendelssohn," presented by some of the leading musicians of the city. Every pew whs occupied .and tho aisles were crowded with persons unable to secure scats. Throughout the congregation, which was mado up largely of music loveis. wac a liberal sprinkling nt local musician. Ilev. Dr. Hirst, pastor, preached from the theme, "The Gospel," which he treated from a broad, commonsense standpoint. All tiie musln of the evening, with the single exception nt the chant, was from tho works of Mendelssohn, Including the hymn tunes. The quartet, "Cast Thy Iiurdcn I'tion the Lord," was suug with Impressive effect by Mrs. Kelly, Mlss Davis and Measw. MiCreary and Moore. Kiiinlnlte Iteiiilltliin, Miss Frances Davis' rendition of the contralto solo, "llut tho Lord Is Mindful," was cxqulslto and was well iiji to the standard of her previous efforts. One Interesting feature of the organ music was that the selections were fa miliar, almost without an exception, espe cially the "Spring Song," which has been Introduced so often by visiting bands--Innes, llcllstedt and others and the wed ding mnrch, from "Midsummer Night's Dream," to which many bridal couples have marched from the churches of the world. Mrs. Kelly was In splendid voice and her rich, ringing tones filled the church with beautiful melody as she saug thn solo abovo the chorus In "Oh, for tho Wings of a Dove." In the duel of the last number, "I Waited for the Lord," she was equally effective. Miss Louise Wletz, who sulfa the other part In the duet, Is a young singer from Aurora, Neb. She showed a voice of pleasing quality and much force. REVIVAL SERVICES GO ON llrv, CIjiIp Cln- Claarll'M Mecl lima to Continue Throuiilioiil (he Week. Itev.

In the face of the continued reports of I the progress of a combluntlou between the Burlington and tho Union Pacific for tho connections west of Denver, which were' related In tho dispatches from New York Sunday morning, officials of both roads deny any knowledge ot such transactions. It In said that the Burlington Is being brought Into the community ot Interests In reference, to the Denver & Hlo tlrande and that a ( definite proposition has now been laid be fore General Manager llctdrege for the Burlington by President II. G. Burt of the Cr.'.on Pacific Winn nsked concerning this, Mr. Hol drcge ngaln denied that any such negotia tions nro In progress.

Your already weakened nerves want rest and must have It. It the attack is severe, go to bed and rem.lu there. More fatalities result from neglect of this precaution than from any other case. Eat sparingly. Your digestive organs are In no rondttlon to take care of large quan tities of food. Drink plenty ot pure, cold water. It al lays the fever, stimulates the kidneys to actios and opens up the pores or tho skin Keep the bowols open with Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills. Take three doses ut Dr. Miles' Nervine per day, and If you cannot sleep take an extra dose at bedtune. To further control the fever and to overcome the peculiar aches and pains ot grip, use Dr. Miles' Pain Pills. They act quickly and effectually and no bad effects reiult from their use These remedies have been thoroughly tested more than a million times and their ffl clency Is thoroughly established. Th.y never fall to give relief. Dr. Miles' Remedies can be found at any drug store, and they are sold on a positive guarantee that first bottle or package bent tits or mousy refunded. vantage of location enjoyed by the western manufacturer and jobber. Later advices from tho cast are to the effect that not only the manufacturing and Jobbing Interests ot the west are to be at tacked, but that the new association will enter the realm ot the retailer and will gtcutly Incrensa the business ot the "cata logue houses," so-called the firms which sell goods direct to consumers by means of price current's and descriptive catn lecuts. The plan upon which the new- association Is to operate Is ns follows: In all ot the large eastern cities an office will be opened where consignments for western towns will be received and held, until a carload ot goods ot various kinds can be made' up for some point on tho Missouri river or beyond. The car will then be loaded with the mixed cargo nnd consigned to the west ern representative of the association, whose duty It will be 10 receive the car and deliver the goods to the various purchasers. In order that tho plan shall succeed It Is necessary to have certain freight classlflcu ttous changed, nnd as one classification has ban changed without notice to Omaha man ufacturers there Is a well-grounded fear taht others will be made. Ever since railroad lines have run be yend the Missouri river that stream has been n basing point for freight charges and this face alony Is relied upon by cer tain of tho persons Interested for the be lief that the roads will .not consent to the ihuuges demntidrd by the new association. Thcso people claim that If the companies sl.culd accede to the demands It would mean a material reduction In revenue, us large quantities ot gocds now shipped In broken lots from Chicago and other east ern cities to Omaha nnd other Missouri rher points, paying the highest local rate, would then be shipped In car lots. Othei dealers In tho west arc not so confident and say that It the new plan succeeds tho company will bo relieved of much respon sibility, ns It Is .easier to ship and handle car lots than it Is tn handle broken lots, und that there would bo a reduction Im the cost of handling tho frolghts, which would equalize the reduction In tho rev enues Tho Commercial club of Kansns City has tnken the mntter up In earnest, dwelling nt length on the effect the chnngo would havo on tho relnll trade. Appeals have been sent to other commercial bodies In the towns affected nnd It Is possible' that the coming week will see an organized effort to secure aisuranccs from the lines of tho western Trunk Line association which will put at rest tho fears of the western Jobbers.

The proposed Chicago combination for tho control of carload rates front that city to M labour I river points contemplates a wider field of operation than was nt first under stood by the business men and commer cial bodies of the west. The western men nt first thought It was but n reorganization of n forco which has for the last ton years attempted to secure carload rates on mixed ccmlgnmcnt8 of goods of similar chara" ter. such as groceries or hardware or dry gocds of various kinds, and that It would attempt to secure this change In classlflra tlons and rates to permit the eastern Job ber nnd manufacturer to overcome the nd- CI.KAM.V WOMA.V.

From Various Pulpits Themes Discussed by Omaha Preachers. Patrician nnd Commoner; a Study of Manhood Through the Lives of Washing ton and Lincoln," was tho themo of Rev. E. F. Trefz at Kountzo Memorial church last night. The world has always longed for heroes upon whom It may feed Its aspirations. The natlonnl heroes whom we revcro aro Wash ington nnd Lincoln," said Rev. Trefz. "And these men are not loved alone becnuso thoy built and preserved n republic. Tho great ness aud goodness ot their character did much to win tho admiration and respect of all Americans. It augurs well for tho peoplo that theso heroes aro clothed with perfect graco nnd completo personality. Doubtloss they had faults, which posterity would blot out. Jesus Christ has given civilization Its meas ure of manhood and men Idealize heroes Into an approximation ot tho qualities that endears tho Snvlor to the world. Fortunate It Is that such heroes stand out before us, because our political system has been so often aborted In Its purposes. "Let tho youth remember that men demand great Ideas Incarnate In flesh nnd blood. High nnd holy purposes cannot bo held by stained and soiled minds. Wicked lives cannot execute magnificent Ideas, If tho principles of reform are to be car ried Into execution they niUBt bo condensed In tho flaming henrt of n Luther. The lino Ideas of patriotism and free Institutions must be capitalized In the life of a grent and goal Washington, Tho completo free dom of the race must be compacted In the thtrobblng sympathy and righteous lite of a Lincoln. "In the lives ot such heroes as Lincoln and Washington we. discover tho comploto depondence upon God and obodienco to Hts will. There Is no wrong but that can bo righted, no industrial or political problom that cannot be solved by obcdlcnco to the free Christian spirit of our Institutions. We are Americans nnd the spirit of Wash ington nnd Lincoln muntles us. Wo are Christians and tbo gentleness, grace and love ot Jesus Christ shall tall upon u ns It fell upon the two great national heroes. We muBt never forgot that dema gogues mako bad rulers, that wo aro only patriots, as we aro children of tho prophets of liberty nnd religion only, patriots, as wo aro patriotic to uou, HlrnlKlit TnlLa to .Urn. Rev. A. II. Kaylor addressed n men's meeting nt tho First United Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon. Ilo spoke of several true Christian characteristics which form the perfect life, Particular stress was laid upon what tho speaker designated as the superior qualities of moral courage In comparison with physical courage. In part, he said: "It's not always easy to be true to yourself when no one but thyself and thy God witnesses nets of Christian fortitude. That's where courage nsserts Itself. It Isn't difficult to ho courageous when you know that the plaudits ot multitudes awaits your actions, but when nothing Is In store for you but u consciousness of doing r'lsht, then's when It's difficult to be courageous. "God deliver me from a lazy mau. Dr. Talmage says that the devil tempts most men. but the lazy man tempts thn devil. Beware of the man who speaks lightly of tho home circle and of tho man who speaks lightly of'woinan In general. Beware of that youth who speaks of his father as tho "old man." I think that there Is not much In such a young man. Give me tho man who has a heart a warm, kind, affectionate nature. If you have not a tender heart you aro not a man. The bravest, noblest men are the most sympathetic," They Tall In Know God, Rev. C. S. Sargent begun at St. Mary'i Congregational church last evening, n ser ies of lectures on "The Rise of Christian ity," the theme of the first one being, "The Old Roman World as he Background of Christian Civilization." His lecture lan night was Illustrated with eighty-two tereoptlcon views, setting forth vividly thn scenes, which ho painted in word picture.-!. Rev. Dr. Sargent maintained at the out set that the failure of the Roman emplro was due to the failure to know God and to m-ognlze the brotherhood ot man. Even Rome had no "all-father" nor any religious sense ot mankind, Her sods were not even good authority to the pagan standards. The ancient world did not shnre with So crates, his idea of God. The orphan cry for n father had to bo met nnd it led to tho Itomnns to defy their Caesars. Philosophy did no better by the people for Scnccosald, "Tho Lord of (he World Is Nero." Sociology did not lend thorn to tho lovn of brother. Tho provinces showed one Latin city. Into which nil the spoils and the slaves from the conquests had been poured Labor was undignified, Woman wns driven to tho wall btforo this hatred of brother and all womanhood was chattel. Tho darkest stnln on tho Roman rscutrheon la the use of human agony for sport and pastime. Nowhere In classic literature do you fltiil nny abhorrence of the nbeddlng of blood either In sport or In warfare. But It re mained to fill Rome's cup, that tho Christ should bo crucified on n cross, l)lnellra nml Men nf Tnilny. In his sermon at Hanscom Park Metho dist church yesterday morning, Rov. Clyde Clay Clssel compared tho twelve disciples of Jesus Christ with tho types of man kind, which nro to bo found In every com-, munlly. John is typical of tho reset ved man, the serene man who Is not easily tempted nml causes his friends, but 111 t lo anxiety. Thomas typifies the doubter, thy man who cannot believe, but who does not give way to his emotions and In his strength of character Is safe among the ul luruments of tho world. In Peter te world Is shown tho man who Is loud tn tho praise of his creator tinder fnvorable conditions, but who Is liable to deny God when he should bo most loyal In his devotion. "Many Christians aro like Peter," said Rev Clssel. "When that disciple was In Gulllee. In the tryatliig plnco of Jesus and his followers, ho was more vehement 'n IiIb praises of tho man of Gallloo than nny of tho other disciples, None, testified as loudly as Peter. But when tho savior whs on Cavalry, when Ho was In dlsgraco In Jerusalem, Peter forjot Him. "And whor. Jeeus roso from tho tomb nrd summoned his disciples to Him. He asked that they meet In Galilee. He was anxious that they should be brought; together again whero they had spont their happiest hour, He knew that- Peter would bi happier In Galileo thar elsewhere. Peter, the faltering disciple, wns tho one for whom ' Jesus prayed continually. It In so with Ills fol lowers hero on earth. Ho Is ever thinking of the Inconstant ones, nnd offers to meet them In Galilee." Dr. G reene s Nervura BLOOD AND NERVE REMEDY SUSTAINS AND BUILDS UP.

HE great clllciency of Dr. Grccno's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is clearly shown by its pro liouuccd ell'ect upon men and women of middloxo, who find themselves confronted by the problem of premature failure of vital powers.

DR. GREENE'S NERVURA PROTEOTS WOMEN AT THIS ORITIOAL TIME. Honda Ciuinol !! Illaaolveil. At St. Phllomena's cathedral Sunday morning Father McOovern preached on the subject of marriage, rending tho gospel account of the marriage at Cann In Galilee as a text. In opening his remarks he said: "There Is no power on earth that can dlstolvo tho m.irrlago bond, once this con tract has benn validly entered InJo nnd the marriage consummated. Separation there may be, for grnvo cause, or u divorce from bed and board, but u divorce 'k vinculo' Is never allowed. The legislation of the church In this matter rosts not simply on her own nuthorlty, which wero qnlto sufficient for any Catholic, but It resst likewise on the word of God, as re vealed to us In sacred scripture. "The original Institution ot marriage wns the perpetual union of one man and one woman, no polygamy, no divorce. Tho peoplo nt the tlmo of Mqses had fallen nway from the teachings of the patriarchs and Moses' laws on the subject were In tended to. mitigate tbo evils of the false system then In practice, Jesus sought to restore the primitive rule." Tho priest then quoted from the teachings of Jesus ns found In Mntthew xlv und Mark ; also from St. Paul In Corinthians vl. The per petual Idea of the marriage of, man and wife Is shown by a passage In Cie epistle to the Epheslaus, chapter v, where It Is compared to the union between Christ aud his church, Tho early falhcrs nlso dwell upon this feature In their writings. "There Is a two-fold nature to mar riage. The help to both pactlea from both must must not only be ot a temporal or der, but also In things spiritual. Once admit the possibility of a divorce with per mission to enter upon second nuptials and you have engrafted Into married llfo a germ of disease which will foster mutual recriminations, which will cause petty quarrels to develop Into violent abuse. In a word, you havo destroyed conjugal hap piness. If you seek a moral nation you will find It only where 'the fr.mlly Is vir tuous, nnd n stulo has 'jib more dangerous foo than that which,, attacks the family tie." The speaker than gave statistics showing that In Douglas ccuntry during thn year 18fl!i a number of divorces have bsen grnntcd equal to at least '20 per cont of tho marriages performed In tho county. Ho stated that by reason of di vorces many children wero thrown upon the world nt an early ago aud that the number of charitable institutions were thereby Increased; that In ease of second marriages the condition of the children Was but little Improved, ns they often became a cr.uso of trouble In, the new household. Sojlety must protect Itself nnd tho speaker was pleased to seo that" law makers and the different Protestant sects wero now considering tbo question of mnr rlngo and divorce In a way which promised to chango conditions. Hnninn .Side nf Clirlat, Rev. R. M. Stevenson preached In the Second Presbyterian church Sunday night upon tho subject. "When I consider Thy Heavens." Ho snld: Dflvid hurl n nnMd nnd nlon .lontilt. llslona nature mi. I his shepherd flf amid his native hills only nerved to call out and UOUrlsll It. Ill the elenr.

LI Hung Chang received n bulletin an nouncing the sentences which could best ho carried Into effect by tho board of pun ishment, and ho requested thu Japanese to deliver Ylng Nlen and Chao Shu Chlao In cider that the sentences In their cases might be executed today In conformity with tho edict, but tho Japanese consid ered tho notice too short and havo de layed the enforcement of tho pcnnltles until Tuesday In order that tho ministers of tho powers might scud representatives, ob they desire. It Is also Intended to guard tne men at tho pluce of execution so ss to pre vent sulcldo or escape. When official confirmation, duly certified by high olllcers ot state, of the sentences of death upon tho others shall havo been received nnd these two have boen exe cuted, China will havo practically com plied with tho terms domauded by tho powers, ns It has already agreed to issuo edlctii prepared by tho ministers ot tne powers for tho cessation of examinations and regarding the responsibility of vice roys nnd governors. Prince Chun, tho emperor's brother, will soon go to Ilerlln to express China's re- grots for tho murder of Damn von Kettcler. Ho tays China has now nccopted to the uttermost and nlso performed everything required by tho powers except tho payment of the Indemnities, tho amount of which has not been decided. Ho thinks nrrango menlB should bo made for the evacuation of Pokln, In order to enable the court to re turn. He says ho believes no nation In history ever compiled with n scries of terms more quickly and more completely. No official announcement has been mado of tho abandonment of the proposed expedl Hon Into the Interior, but It Is not likely that any further preparations will be made. Tho foreign envoys feel that the proposal was a master stroke nnd caused the settle mrnt of what might have been a protracted affair. Tim ministers of tho powers regard the punishment edict as satisfactory. Chili Slu, fotmer grand secrctnry. nnd Hsue Chung Yu. son of the notorious IIsu Tung, will b publicly executed In Pekln Tuesday An edict has been promulgated suspending examinations nt all points which were the scenes of outrages on foreigners.
