In tho Bohemian language. In a short time

At the meeting of the Board of Educa

Central Labor anion appointed at Its lest
meeting to protest sgatast ths elimination
of free textbook from the High school end
the reduction In tho selarles of the teachers
will appear. John J. Kerrigan, a member of
the committee, said;
"The committee should have been at the
meeting last week, but we understood that
nothing but the levy sad the 'division f
the funds would be considered. W have
prepared a protest to be made on the sub
ject of free textbook and we sincerely
hope that we can change the rule. . We do
hot rare about the matter; so much from
specific casea where it would work a hard
ship as we do on sccount of the general
expense to bo entailed by the system which
has been adopted. It Is a conservative esti
mate to say that aw book will last long
enough to be used by four different classes
In the High school. In a family there may
bs on)y one pupil In ths High school sod
as he advances the books used the previous
year must be discarded and other pur
chased. These books are then wasted. Un
der the system previously in vogue they
would be used by succeeding children un
til they are worn oat 'There are several
different claeses la the High school through
which child must pass In order to grade
ate and at tho end of tho courss there will
be piled up In the homes a large number
of useless books, while other children who
could have need those books have been kept
from school because their parents could not
afford to buy them. ,
"We do not exoect, to make much of a
protest against ths reduction . in teachers'
salaries. We have been looking ths matter
up and find that many .men who have spent
as long a time learning a trade or business
ks the teacher have spent In their train
ing are working today In Omaha for less
money than the teacher are getting. It
doei not seem to me . that the - teachers
have much cause for complaint a long ae
this Is so, and they .should not be singled
out as people who , should receive more
money for their labors than those In other
lines of work requiring fully as much prep
aration and an equal amount. of. skill and
experience."
Amusements.
The Orphean. '
, This week's program of vaudeville offer
ings at the Orpbeum Is one of the most sat
isfactory of any of the season's bills so far.
There are no high ' salaried . feature acts
Included In It make-up, and for that rea
son it Is ons of uniform excellence
throughout. . It would .be herd. to. decide
just which specialty waa the biggest bit,
since all of them were' liberally applauded
both Sunday performances. Lovers of
music will find much to please thsa, sines
majority of the acts. Include at least one
vocal or Instrumental selection, and several
of them are given up wholly to music of
one kind or another. . Plcolo's Lilliputians,
four unusually diminutive fellows, ranging
In sge from 21 to 40, offer one of the best
specialties of Its kind In vaudeville.' They
open with a 8alvatlon Army burlesque that
sets ths audience In an uproar of laughter
and close their act with some remarkable
feats of strength for such little fellows.
A wrestling bout I by no mean the least
pleasing feature of the act. They eatoh
and break full and half Nelson, do head
spins, bridge and everything else that a
professional wrestler would with almoat
the same cleverness. Bruett and.Revlere,
French vocalists and Imitators, seen her
two seasons sgo In the same specialty, sing
several French comic songs and imitate
the violin, cello and the Scotch bagpipe
1th remarkable accuracy. There la no
better monologulst In vaudeville than Billy
Clifford, whose style and. personality are
distinctly hla own and quite inimitable.
Clifford need no ons to assist him In "mak
ing good" with his audiences and his for
mer partner, Maude Huth, Is not ' really
missed. Leonard Fletcher offers a num
ber of accurate Impersonations of such
well-known people ss President Roosevelt,
Chaunoey Depew, Mark Twain, Admiral
Schley, Richard Mansfield and other. His
manner of presenting these Impersonation
novel and decidedly clever. Deave'
marionette are as old as the proverbial
hills, but are the source of much amuse
ment to the children and not a few of their
lders as well. Zoa , Matthews, a rather
handsome and vivacious young woman, has
a well cboae'n repertoire, of popular coon
songs, which she renders with most pleas
ing effect. Both the afternoon and evening
audiences Sunday seemed, unable, to get
enough of the act, and Miss Matthew wa
forced to respond to repeated encore. She
assisted by a eweetrvoicea pickaninny
stationed In the audience. Rltter trained
dog and Herbert Elliott, a local msndo-
linist, and the Berlin Bisters, a splendid
musical team, complete the bill. -

DISCOURSES ON LOYAL SERVICE Tf CeD
Christina Work Shoala Be In Spirit of
Love and Wlthoat Theaght of Re
ward Sermons la Other
Charehes.
Dr. W. J. Conley wss greeted by a large
congregation yesterday morning at the First
Baptist churchi where he preached hla first
sermon as tbo regularly installed pastor.
Two months ago Dr. Conley visited Omaha
and preached to the First Baptist congre
gation. A tew days later a call wa ex
tended to him and he resigned the pastorate
of the Oak Park (III.) Baptist church to
accept the charge In Omaha.
"Service" was the theme of Dr. Conley'
sermon jesterday morning and his text
was: "And whosoever will be chief among
you let him be your servant." The
preacher empbaslxed the necessity of loyal
service to Ood and nan and urged that
such service be without thought ot reward,
with the proper motive and In the spirit
of love.
"To be a Christian means to be a servant
ot Jesus Christ," said Dr. Conley. "Christ's
teaching is the Interpretation of service.
Three factors enter Into the service ot men.
They are motive, reward and spirit. The
motive which prompts much service given
to the Lord Is fear. It blights the re
ligious life of many ot Christ's servant.
The ecclesiastical lash wings over much
of Europe and compel devotion that should
come through love.
"Reward Is an element In sll service.
The employer looks to his employe for effi
cient effort because of the wages paid.
Moat literary men work for the reward
that will come to them In money. Even the
pulpit Is not above this quest for gold.
While reward must not be despised, we
must bear In mind the fact that we will
never attain great end until we apply
ourselves to our work in a spirit ot love.
Better Than Golden Role.
"The Golden Rule, 'Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you.' Is not
the Christian's rule. The true follower ot
Ood says: 'Give yourself unto others re
gardless of what they do unto you.' This
is the Christ conception of the relation
which men should bear unto each other.
Much service Is too narrow. It is dwarfed.
The opinion Is frequently expressed that
a large-hearted, sympathetic man muat not
belong to a church. Why should such an
opinion prevail T The scope ot a Christian
church must take In everything helpful to
man. The moral, and physical welfare ot
man and his political and social life must
be Influenced by religion.
. "Men must rrepare themselves to live
rather than to die, and It Is the duty of the
church to assist in any work which will
make the live of men brighter and hap
pier. There 1 a disposition among certain
Christians to serve Ood In their own set
alone. The scope ot a Christian's life
should not be narrowed to the social circle
In which he move. I am an expansionist
I believe In spreading the good tidings
which Christ brought to the world. I wish
the United State would acquire all the
world if Its purpose were to serve the
people whom it meets. If service is our
pupose In taking the Philippines under
our care, It la well, but our conquest wa
wrong If it wa the purpose of the gov
ernment to crush and subdue the Filipinos.
"The spirit of service is very essential.
Everything depends on the manner In
which Christians undertake their work.
There s a spirit of charm which I Irre
sistible, and a spirit of fear which I re
pellent. Love, not pity, must characterise
efficient service. We must give ourselves
to the servioe of Ood; our money will not
suffice. And a hopeful confidence In the
triumph ot faith must crown all our work."
CELEBRATE CANDLEMAS DAY
Special Services Are Heidi la Oi
Catholle and Episcopal
Charehes.
laha
. Candlemas wa celebrated yeaterday with
pecial service In the Romsn Cathollo
snd Episcopal churches. In the Episcopal
churches the celebration Is confined to
special collects . and gospel, whlls in the
Cathollo churches, with ths greater cere
monial, the day has corns to be on of the
more Important feasts. On this day the
candle . which are to be used during the
coming year, both In the service of the
church and In . the private service in the
borne, are. blessed by the priests, generally
before the masse are celebrated.
At all of the churches In the city the day
was observed with solemn high mass at the
usual hour and sermon were preached
from the gospel, which I an account ot the
presentation of Jesus In the temple under
the Mosaic law, whichrequired mother and
child to be present fn the temple within
forty days, In case of the birth of a oa.
for purification. February 2, being forty
day from Christmas, the day upon which
the birth of Jesus Is celebrated, la ob
served as the anniversary of the purifica
tion of bis mother.
In the processions snd public demonstra
tions of Candlemas day, profane historians
see a survival of ons of the pagan celebra
tions of ths Roman, when they marched
la procession and celebrated a day In Feb
ruary In honor of Pas., a god of that sys
tem of mythology, and aay that tb earlier
Roman pontiff. In attempting to wean
their convert from paganism, gavs to cer
tain pagan rites a Christian signification.
The observance of Candlemas day as a
Christian rite date from th fifth cen
tury. la England Candlemas day, In tb opinion
of th descendant ot ths worshipers at
th shrines ot ths -Druids, Is Intimately
connected with the weather for the yesr to
come, and this haa been transplanted to
America. where Candlemas becomes
'ground-hog" day.

tlea to Religion.
At Unity church Sunday morning Rev.
N. M. Mann lectured on the subject ot the
relation of acleoce to religion tn ths mid
dls aces. He aaid. In part:
'It was strongly felt by the church thst
ths earth must not lose its Importance as
ths center and main part of creatioa to
which everything else is subsidiary, for are
we not told In the bible on the authority of
God Himself that the sun wss made to give
light by day and the moon and stars to
give light 'by night t And how shall men
be brought to believe that the Maker of all
thlnga personally came iato this world.
lived and died here, to consummate
schems of redemption, unless this earth
retains great relative atgnlflcanee? It must
not be reduced to a planet comparable to
Venua. Mars or Jupiter. These stars must
be taught their places and kept from loom
lng up too big.
"For this purpose the old astronomy wss
admirably adapted. It kept all the heav
enly bodlea in nice subordination to our
world and confined the whole creatioa
within a very limited space, so that our
earth might duly feel Its dignity and lm
portaac. Just how far the firmament was
supposed to be above our heads w cannot
tell; nobody had any mean of measuring.
With our present knowledge we can ssy
just how far awsy the sun. moon and equa
torial stars would have to be to make the
circuit of the earth once in twenty-frur
hour. The calculation puts them all within
23,000 mllns of us less than one circumfer
ence of the earth, dwindling the whole uni
verse Into a sphere whose diameter Is little
more than two circumferences of the earth.
"The sun and moon would each be about
the slse of the Island ot Jamaica aJd the
stars not bigger than the rocks thst here
and there lift themselves out ot the sea.
That Is the sort ot a universe to comport
with the old theology, which makes the
world the great field ot divine operations,
and this the mediaeval church knew right
well. - The Irony of the situatlod was that
the assault upon this theory ot things
should have been made by an ecclesiastic
and the original publication of the book
paid for by a cardinal."
PrtESCRIPTIO it FOR SAVING SOILS.
Dr. Herring: Says Some of Them Come
from Qoacke.
Rev. Hubert. C. Herring of the First
Congregational ' church , preached Sunday
evening on "The Spiritual Physician." He
said:
"In the text the false prophet are rep
sented a quack doctors, who have healed
Israel' spiritual brulec slightly and hard
pronounced th cure . perfect. It Is very
plain that the species 1 not extinct; there
are plenty of people still to be found whi
have a ready panacea for public evila and
private Ills. Perhaps the most conspicuous
example ot this Is to be found in connec
tion with great . organized enemle ot ao
clety, like the saloon or the gambling
house. There are not a few who Imagine
that with some mild regulation w have
sufficiently protected ourselves from their
attacks. They say peace, peace, when there
Is no peace.
"But I desire to apply the text to the
question of personal salvation. When a
man Is stirred with consciousness of his
unworthlness, a variety ot quacks present
themselves to cure his - malady. No. 1
assures him that there Is nothing the mat
ter with him; that he Is morbidly con
scientious; that Ood will think twice be
fore He condemns as good a man as he Is.
All that he needs to do Is to go on his
way, lead an .exemplary Ufs nothing re
mains to be desired. Sometimes the man
knows better; sometimes he takes the
bogus prescription and lulls his conscience
to sleep. ' .:
"Or It may be quack No. 2 undertake
the case. He does not trouble himself to
deny the fsct of sin, but Is confident that
God Is too good snd loving to inflict pen
alty upon His children, especially when it
is remembered how many temptations they
have and how many - sorrows they must
bear; Just as we smile to ourselves over
the little faults of our rhlldren, so God
looks leniently upon ' pecadlllos of the
creatures He has made. This sham doctor.
as one ha said, 'Make God not so much
a father as a doting grandfather.'
"Or It may be the third quack who pre
scribes. He says that there 1 no such
thing as ln; disease and evil are negative
qualities; they have no real existence;
they are a delusion, ot th mortal mind;
God I all and we live In Him. The cure
for the sense of guilt Is to get. rid of the
delusion that there is such' a thing.. '
"There Is still one more who may be
consulted. He tells you that your case Is
Indeed serious; radical measure must be
taken, but that you are not. Incurable It
you follow the regime he lay down.. You
must be baptised; you must fast at. certain
times; yon muat do '.penance for your sins
and keep your church dues paid up. It
these things and . their , like are attended
to, 'all will : be well. ". You .'may rest at
ease that you will at', last reach the City
of the Blessed. .
"All these are lOj - sharp contrast with
the True Physician, the Great Physician,
Jesus Christ. .He J niade no attempt to
conceal the gravity of man's condition. He
said: 'Except ye repent,' ye shall all like
wise perish.' . He csme to seek and to
save the lost, and when one would know
what Is His cure tor . that sin. He leads
to the Cross upon .Calvary and there shows
ss God's cure for man' transgression. The
cure I found' In the divine sacrifice, ap
plied to the heart, which learn the lesson
of faith. The ctire Is continued and per
fected by the struggle of the soul toward
holiness, under the guidance ot the spirit
and truth of God." '
HOW JESUS BECAME THE SAVIOR.
Subject of Sermon of Rev. H. G. Hill
of Cincinnati.
Rev. Harry Granlson Hill of the Fecgtis
Street Christian church of Cincinnati, O.,
preached Bunday morning at the First
Christian church in thia city, which pas
torate he will assume about March 1. "How
Jesus Is the Savior of the World" was the
subject of Rev. Hill's sermon, and bis text
was Romans r, : "For when we were yet
without strength, in due time Christ died
for the ungodly."
"There is something In all men.' ssld
the pastor, "that leads them to the worship
of soma being outside of themselves.
Whether this element is sn instinct, a de
duction of reason, or soms other force, the
fact of Its existence remains the same al
ways and everywhere. ' .
"Man has also a natural tendency to be
come like the object ot bis worship. The
expression, 'Like God. like devote," I aeU
proven by the religious experiences of the
different nations. The old Greeks and Ro
mans worshiped mythological personifica
tions of nature, in human guises snd with
humsn appetites, psssions and lusts. And
such traits as these grew In those people,
so that while they were In the height ot
their intellectual glory they were sunk
st th same time In tb depth ot moral
night
Man, Imperfect, cannot make a perfect
God; neither 1 there any power In man to
lift himself above the worship of the gods
he- ha mad. ' So, In order that man may
be exalted, an Ideal character as an object
of worship Is a necessity.
"This need God supplied.' What man
could not do for himself Ood did, and gave
to him Jesus, a purs object of worship, aa
Ideal, whose worship is capable ot lifting
man higher. - Thus Jesus I a Savior."
After the morning service the board of
trustees of ths church unanimously voted to
call Dr. Hill to Us paatorats. Dr. Hill
accepted the call and will begin his work
In Omaha on March 1.

TALK OF ASSESSING ALL CANDIDATES
Sosne ef the Aeplrnnt for Plaeea on
the Tleket Are t nwllllac to Pat
t'p Money Before the
Primaries.
The democratic city central commutes
as practically decided to use the Craw
ford system .st the coming election. This
committee Is made up of seven members,
one from esch ward and one at large.
Jamea Hannlgan Is chairman and Ed Halpln
Is secretary.
' By using" this system no convention will
be held, as candidates will be nominated at
the prlmarlea, . which will be March 14.
ome of the members of the committee as
sert' that a' great many democrat have
been anxious for some ttme to try the
Crawford system, and they consider th
time opportune. .
Democrats who are not "on the Inside"
Just now assert that the committee has
decided o assess each candidate for mayor
$300,' while candidates tor city treasurer
will be taxed $200 each. The candidates
for city clerk will have to separate them
selves from 2200 each, and it will be the
same with the. city attorney. Each candi
date for councilman will be taxed $100.
The plan Is to raise about $2,000 for thi
use of the committee In paying the ex
penses of the primaries and of the general
election.-
"This plan of the committee making as
sessments prior to the primaries." said a
democrat yesterday, "will practically abut
out a number of candidates." W. O. Sloane
Is quoted as saying that he will not tiav
an assessment of the size mentioned; nei
ther will Tom Hoctor. Ensor seems to be
willing to go the route, as he has made
no protest on the price to be oald. Some
of the prospective candidates for treasurer
are protesting : on the price, and so sre
some of the aspirants for the present city
clerk's shoes. Oldtlme politicians sav the
democrats are carrying mattera with a high
nana, and the fact that there is to be no
convention displease a great many.
