rtrv. Thomas Anderson, pjslor of the
Calvary congregation, reviewed the history
of the new church briefly nt tho opening
of the morning services and told how the
plan of replacing the old church building
was originated about two years ago. At

possible to erect as pretentious a church

liberality nnd energy of some of the In

tho church was bought at n cost of $2,000.
Tho entire cost of tho new church and
furnishings was about $30,000. The build
ing was dedicated free from debt, a balance
of $5,600 having been raised yesterday by
Iter. Myron D. Haynes of Chicago, who
preached tho dedicatory sermon.
In his morning sermon Hev. Haynes
likened righteous men nnd women to lilies
and made a plea for Christian llfo an pure
and spotless as tho flowers which tho
Creator has given us. "Kor Kolomon In all
his glory was not ' nrrnyed like onu of

"No picture la as beautiful as that In
which Christ Is standing among the lilies,"
nld Rev. Haynes. "Hla llfo Is aa spotless

"In a world of sin and vlco It Is not

At tho conclusion of hla sermon Hev.
Haynes made n brief statement of tho finan

Pulpit Sentiments
"Shall Sunday ne a Holiday or a Holy
Day?" was the eubject of Dr. A. C. Hirst's
sermon nt the Plrst Methodist Episcopal
church last evening. Ho Bald In part:
"All Malory1 proves that while thn holi
day Sabbath la tho ally ot despotism, a
Christian Sabbath la tho holy day of free
dom. Tho Sabbath la no restrlcter ot lib
erty, no Invasion of your tlmo, no sacrifice,
to be offered, no cross to be borne. On
the other hand, the Sabbath la one of God's
beat gifts. To desecrate till day of roat Is
to strike a cruel, deadly blow at national
prosperity, national honor and national per
petuity, "Our national life, our city life, depends
upon tho Intelligence and vlrtuo of tho
citizens. Recall for Just a moment to
your thoughts what. Washington, the father
of American liberty, said: 'He therefore
Is tho tnWst friend lo the liberty and hap
plnoss of his country who tries most to
protect Its virtue nnd who, so far as his
power and Influence 'extend, will not suffer
a man to be choson Into any offlco of power
nnd trust who Is not r wise nnd virtuous
mon.'
"This fact Is emphasized: That private
Tights aro Inseparable from purity of,
morals. They co-oxlst In the very naturo
of thi)gp. Tliu morula of society aro the
source ot Its strength, the ground and pil
lar of IM'atrihorltyJ, the' 'jiled'go ot Ilk per
petuity, tho parent bf lts.vuccess ond tho
basis of mutual tntluauce. The power, tho
Influence, tho credit, the growth yea, tho
vory existence of tho city and the stule
rests upon the moral sense of tho pnople.
"Our socjal .and political fabric does
rest upon a firm and 'incorruptible execu
tive authority, upon tried and true states
men, upon Its unstained Judiciary, Us uu
bribed legislation, (is unmercenary fran
chise Its high-toned men nf business, Its
divine philosophy of life, lis pure regard

sympathy with the degraded, Its aacredness
of marriage, ita revofenco for the Sabbath
nd Ita o"ver,-presfnt rullug sonso of per
sonal accountability to Almighty Ood. if
this moral purity Is broken, then ruin and
anarchy must prevail.
"Tho church and the Christians of today
nre largely responsible for the Impending
dangers. T,hQ presoht neglect of tho Sab
bath by many church members Imperils the
very cxl'BtnCo of the c,hUrch, as well aa
the Sabbath. When Sabbath observance, de
clines tho church declines; when the Sab
bath dies the church will be burled In tb
same grave. Omaha's purity and pros
perity are vitally connected with this Sab
buth question."

ST. PAUL AS A DRAMATIC HERO
Airs. Kcnor Points Out (lie I'fiaalMI-Itli-ft

for a Pill)',
Mrs. W. W, Keysor spoke to the Young
Women's Christian association yesterday
afternoon o.t i o'clock on the life of Paul.
Mrs. Keysor discussed (he dramatic possi
bilities In Paul's life and showed that when
critically analyzed the life of the great
apostle Is found to have the elements nec
essary to the construction of a great drama
modeled after the works of Shakespeare.
She spoke ns follows:
"These facts very naturally arrange them
selves Into the acts and scenes of a drama
of the Gothic or Shakcspcrcan type that
is, when the unities of time and placo aro
not net warily observed, A drama mftdo
up of the Incidents of Paul's llfo naturally
opens with tho stoning of Stephen, In which
Paul Is Introduced merely as ti passive
character.
"Tho climax of tho drama.1 lu action,
which scorns clearly to be the great scene
of the conversion, comes perhaps too early
to suit tho requirements of the Ideal drama.
Otherwise the story of Paul's life Is unusii.
nlly fitted for dramatic representation, lack
ing none 'of tho thrilling Incidents and
certainly rich In historic background.
"In every sense Paul, as an individual,
fulfills the requirements of a dramatic
hero. Ills purpose Is unmistakable and Ills
whole course unswervingly toward the ac
complishment of that purpose. That we aro
not mistaken In so considering the events
of Paul's llfn Is abundantly shown by the
fact that so great n genius aa Mendelssohn
used tho subject for one of1 his greatest
compositions, tho "Oratorio of St. Paul,"

ST. PBTERSIIURO, Oct. 5. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) Acting un
der additional Information from the gov
ernor of the province of Samara the min
ister of the Interior has officially pro
claimed famine conditions In five more dis
tricts In tlili province, namely, Samara dis
trict, Ilogoultnlnsk, Xavenuunsk, N'icolo
vensk and Stavoropol,
The bad harvest has made Itself so
keenly felt that a special medical and relief
organization Is deemed necessary for these
districts. It Is likely that the list will bo
added to from time to tlmo during tho
winter. The minister also published today
a detailed report about the relief given
seven Siberian districts. Porty thousand
roubles were assigned.
Tho present Indications are that little In
formation about tho famine will bo pub
lished In Russian papers which is not given
out by tho ministry of tho Interior. The
papers have been given to understand that
Incorrect Information or "colored" articles
about tho famine will not bo tolerated and
tho Russian editors know when they havo
been spoken to.
Tho bad harvest In portions of Siberia
last year and portions of this year has
had the cITcct of turning part of tho Si
berian emigration back toward Russia. Ac
cording to nn official Bourcc, 77,713 emi
grants and 1H,721 men whom tho peasant
communes sent to spy out the land went
to Siberia between January 1 and Septem
ber 17, and 10,728 emigrants and 12,610 en
voys roturncd.
In addition to the famine, a circumstance
that deters emigration and occasions the
return of many, la tho exhaustion of avail
abln farm land. It Is a fact that Is not
sufficiently understood abroad that por
tlotiH of Siberia aro already fully occupied.
Thin Is truo of nearly all good nnd con
veniently ncccsulbla agricultural lands In
West Siberia. Recent settlers have been
aeslgncd lands distant from tho railway
or nuvlgablo rivers or havo received forest
and. marsh lands, which It would not pay
them to till under present conditions.
With additional railways, with now mar
keta for west Siberian grain In the cast
Siberian, Mongolian and Manchurlau min
ing regions: with better modes of cultivat
ing tho ground, there will bo room for
more settlers In west Siberia, but the plain
truth Is that there Is little room for peas
ants there now. There seems to be room
for another class. Tho government has
reserved somn land for noblemen and has
sold considerable tracts to titled families,
aowlng Its determination to strengthen the
noble element In Siberia. The peasants
have transplanted their sllpshop methods
of cultivation from one province to another
In RuHHla, nnd from Russia to Siberia, so
that tbla virgin country Is also reduced
to chronic want and periodical famines.
Tho presence of largo hind owners Is re
garded aa a good leaven, agriculturally and
politically.

nniy Ainnim Afrlenn AntUes.
The missionaries In South. Africa recently
held a convention In Nalal. Among the
questions that claimed Ihclr attention, re
ports thu New York Sun, was that of
polygamy among the natives. They dis
cussed the nractlcablllty of making a cru
sade against this custom. Many of them
declared that tho practice was condemned
not only by moral but also by huslnes";
considerations. The bishop of .Mushonaland
nsserled that tho country might llnd In
polygamy tho real reason for tho very In
convenient dearth of labor In tho mines.
The nntlvi father looks upon his daughter
merely us so tntieli merchandise. He will
cheerfully part with her if he can get what
he considers to be her vnlue in cattle. Tho
girl Ih sold tn her future husband for from
live to fifty head of cattle, according tn her
beauty ns that quality Is estimated among
the natives. An exceedingly fat girl I
very beautiful Indeed, and brings tho high
est price lu thn matrimonii! market.
The father nf a family who raises a large
number of daughters Is certain to become
rich. Tho more wives he bus the more
daughtcrn nro liuprnspcct; thus It Is highly
doidrahle to have quite a number of wlvs.
The young mun who agrees tn sell bis labor
for a stipulated tlmo In the gold or diamond
mines has only one thought, and that l tn
get somn money with which he may pur
chase cattlo and exchange them fnr a wife.
When he has secured this doMrnblo ob
ject he will nn more work for the white
man till ho wants more wives. In the
course of limn he will have daughters to
sell and then he will do no moro work at
all. His wives will do all the Held work,
his daughters will bring In moro cattle
und his herds will grow nlso bv natural
Increase. Between wives, daughters and
cattle ho will be ablo to lead a life of gen
tlemanly leisure.
Tho bishop of Mushonntnnd proposed n
plan which. If carried Into effect, would, in
ilia opinion, put an end lo polygamy. Ho
would havo the government vlnw all wives,
except Hie llrst, ns articles nf luxury nnd
tax them In n progressive scale. Wife No.
1 uhould be exempt from taxation, but tin
husband should pay a tnx of $2."i a year
for iho luxury nf having wife No. 2 In' his
family, ?."0 a year for wife Nn. .1, $100 a
year for wife No, 4, nnd so on. It Is evident
thnt at this rate It would tako a very long
purse nr n very well stocked cattle yard
to keep the natlvn home adorned with a
goodly number of wives,
The conven.lon did not commit Itself lo
this nr nny other plan fnr lining away with
polygamy, nnd It remains to ho i-een what
Iho white legislators of South Africa will
think of thn novel schemn suggested by tho
bishop of Mashonnlaud.

.Standard Oil company, lu recognition nf
this service l mankind lu general, and to
that corporation In particular, has recently
creeled 11 handsomo tomb in Woodlawn
cemetery in Tltusvillo as a. final resting
placo for tho remains of Colonel Drake.
Ono bright spring morning lu the. year
1857 n tnll, dark-bearded man, wearing the
uniform of a railway conductor, appeared
nt thn olllce of Hvelcth & Hlssell at Now
Haven and purchased fAl shares nf stock
In a newly-organized company having fnr
Its ol Jecl Iho gathering and sale of nil lu
i stern Pennsylvania. Along the bnnks nt
Oil creek, crude petroleum had been found,
and tho excitement was still high when thn
Now Haven capitalists, organized their com
pauy, .Mr. Drake believed that If he could pierce
tho rock stratum that lay below thn soli of
the company's laud nil would gush forth,
lie was llrmly convinced thnt a Hiibter
rancau lake of nil existed beneath the rock
bed. Ills conviction was based nn study.
Geological formations had ever proved
fascinating to him, ami he had spent much
tlmo when a farmer's helper In pursuing
this lino nf inquiry. Ho wan lacking lu
Hclentlllo training only.
Convincing the olllcers of the new oil com
I'liiiy that there was "something" In his
plan of boring for oil, he went to Iho dis
trict supplied with $1,000 for experiments.
Ho ordered a ateain engine, and, after much
t'lfllculty, secured (he services of an ex
perienced salt-well driller. The arrival of
the englun wns long delayed, and, after
walling fnr several weeks, thn driller, be
lieving that Iho colonel was a seer of
vlulonivrefuscd to have anything to do with
tho enterprise. Thus the summer wirn
away without any new developments. Tho
company lost fnlth In Drake and his Idea,
pud refused tn advnucn any morn money.
TltiiKvlllo people had begun to believe Hint
Drake was a monomaniac. He seined to
llvo nn his ono Idea. Parly lu the winter
his money gave out, and credit was refused
him at tho village shops. He faced abso
lute poverty and barely supported his fam
ily by doing odd Jobs. Ho kept a strong
heart, however, and hla lalth lu thn Dual
outcome of his project remained unshaken.
Karly lu the spring nf 1RM he succeeded In
convincing two friends, It. D. Pletrlter and
Peler Wilson of Tltusvillo, nf thn soundness
of his Idea, and thoy provided him with sul
llcinnt capital to renew his experiment. Jin
secured tlio services of William Smith and
hts two sons of Tarentum, who wero prac
tical salt-well drillers. They brought with
them a comploto out lit of tools.
Tho soil along the banka of Oil creek wns
porous und water-soaked, nnd as fast as
tho hole was mado tho snll crumbled and
the well filled with mud, No progress
could be made. Although work was at a

Ingenuity soon showed Itself, and, after
