Twenty-fourth and Bln ney streets, Sunday morning. Ha arrived last Friday from his former home In Bow ling Green, O., shout which city oil well derricks tower as numerously as chimney pots In London, and ba waa In a mood to praise the clear, invigorating Nebraska at mosphere, hut It unluckily happened that something had gone wrong with the furnace and the church was so full of gas that the aacked congregation waa all but In tears from coughing and its newly arrived pastor avaa partially obscured by the haie. Ia beginning his sermonj which waa abort, fte announced himself as old-fashioned enough to preach from text, and he read from the elxteenth verse of the second banter of the eplatlea to the Romans. Preaches from tha Book. ''According to my gospel," he quoted. "My Eos pel, my friends, directs that I read from ed's book and preach from what I read therein. I trust that your goapel and mine tnay ba ia harmony. We each have a goapel, Undoubtedly, for Just as each man must bare a Christ for himself, so each man must have a gospel for himself. There la pot an eye that can look out upon aome distant scene and see It Just as another aye would Btlll, the same general Impres sion may be had and the principle of per sonal . equation enters Into these spiritual lews to Justify each man in saying 'my gospel.' . "I have wondered If my gospel would ult my new environment, which seems so pleasant. I will only say of It that it Is founded on the word of Ood. I am not a Bpencerlan, nor a Darwinian. I accept large Information from all these sources, but my anly rule of conduot is the book, and If there were 10,000 evidences against some thing clearly taught between Its covers I would say with the apostle: 'Let all men fee liars, God Is truth.' My gospel holds that nearly nil men are wrong and only a few accidentally good that men, If let alone go (wrong; go to weeda Just aa the grounds otf your beautiful exposition has alone since abandoned and neglected. Place Itself Within Reach. "But mine Is a practical gospel and It goes tight down to a level with sinners that It may be taken hold of by them and helped up. In the aluma it doea more good than a whole posse of constables and It helps whom It saves, not only spiritually tmt physically. I remember once when I waa a boy In the north of Ireland, a black smith was converted by meetings which arere bedng held in his shop, because no !etter plaoe waa then available, and the giext day he appeared upon the street, so Cleansed in face, aa well aa In heart, that J did not recognise him. It was a healthy gospel that he had. "I notice that Buddhism Is beginning to e preached In this country. The religion Cf Buddha like the religion of Confucius Incorporates excellent principles, but they remind me of a man who stood upon a fclgh bluff and ahoutad to a man who was drowning In a atream far below him to coma up and he would aave him. My goapel would be to throw him the rope whereby lie might make the ascent. It is practical and tt la what I hope to promulgate, trust ing that It will suit In this, my new home." CHRISTIANS HAVE ALL. THINGS. Jttev. Aaderaoa Says They Are More Thaa Billionaires. A Glorious Inheritance" waa the theme or the morning sermon of Rev. Thomas iAnderson at Calvary Baptist church 8unday taornlng. The twenty-Brut verae of chapter three of Paul's first letter to the Phllllplans furnished the text In these four words: "All things are yours." Rev. Mr. Anderson paid In part; "This Is a rich text, one of the mountain texts of the bible. It la inexhaustible in the Inventory of a Christian's wealth which It presents and It suggeata an oceanic theme, defying all attempts of the preacher to confine it to any one phase. "The very poorest Christian la now a billionaire, and more, for that falls' to ex press It. He Is the heir of the ages. All Chat la past Is bis. All things present and to come are his. We talk of gaining the world and loalng one's soul, but the Chris tian gains' the world at the time when he finds his soul. "The Inventory of a Christian's wealth may not promise much to you at flrat glance, hut open It up and you realise mors and mora how vast It la. First tt embracea all religious teachings. .. No person or claaa haa any monopoly on clear discernment In these matters. , Let us take them all. We must not confine ourselves to one truth, hutting our eyes and stopping our ears to others. 1 am not a latttudlnarlan; I do not believe that the truths of all churches are equally good nor that it Is Just as well not to belong to a church at all. ' But neither do I believe that the Baptist church lias all the truths In Us teachings. "Again, the world la oura. We may have nothing, but still possess all thtnga. Nature and tta beauties are Ood's and for God's people, The. mountains, the valleys, the river, all are oura. "Ufa, too, Is ours, and all that is In It. Ood was not a Puritan In the sense tn which that term Is understood often. There Is nothing of life that he does not wish ' u, ' to enjoy. Ood's life extends beyond the pi ritual. "Last of all, dsata la oura.

Manaa of Lincoln preached a St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church Sunday morning, the sermon being . ths third of a series. Hs took for his theme, "Superstition, Belief or Faith, baaed oa the text from tha forty-eighth verse of the fourth chapter of John, "And Jeans answered and said unto them, unless ye see signs and wonders ye will not be Have," ' The speaker defined superstition as aa Ignorant fear of what la mysterious, founded em. Irrational belief a Superstition held nch sway over the people of ancient times, ba stated, that they believed that slekness was sin or wss a visitation of God's wrath ' tipoa tha wicked. At that time the science cf medicine was not recognised. 8tckneas was aocspted as sin and no Inveatlgatlons were permitted. When a man was sick the priest was called to cleanae him of the la. It begot a religion that made men tremble for the Individual salvation. 8u perstltlon takes away the will power. It destroy, energy and makes some men . inenlala and others masters. "Belief," the cpeaker said, "was aa In - tellectual assert, aa adherence to a bis. torlcal testimony. A man may believe that God la the creator, and yet not believe in Him as a Savior. Belief doea not call for a personal Ood mora than doea the heathen worship. It makes It a matter of Intel lectual acceptance and then finds fault because we cannot all believe alike. "Faith la a much almpler matter than these," said the speaker, "It Is an act of trust. Faith la personal and belongs to the whole man and not a part. Faith takes Ood's Interests and applies them to so ciety as the full expression of man. Faith in God Is love and faith will not atop until thia love and righteousness is a part of the character of men. It is an organising fores and Impel to action, urging until It attains." JEKKI TALKS OF THE BEST ROBE, Explains Its Application la the Para ble of tha Proalaal- At the First Presbyterian church Sun day morning the pastor. Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks, preached from the theme, "The Best Robe," being a text from the fifteenth chap ter of the gospel according to St. Luke, which tells the story of the prodigal son's return. "Jesus cited this parable," said the pas tor, "to appease some of his apostles, who had murmured because he received sinners and ate with them. The tendency Is to show how natural It Is for a father to re joice because of the return of a son sup posed to be lost. Love endures forever, and follow. Its object to the end of the chapter. Hope may fall, faith may fall, but love la everlasting. We cannot always tell why we love another. There comes a swell ing of the heart, and one feels that all hla Ideals and purposes of life have been changed but he doesn't know . why ha should be drawn so Irresistibly toward that one particular mortal out of all tha others In the world. Bring forth the best robe and put It on him. What Is the mesnlng of the robeT It means that he Is a son again; that be who was dead la alive." ABOUT MRS. HOUGHTON'S COW o Mach Lea-al Proceeding Over Bovine that She ie Name "Litigation." Judge Vlnsonhaler of the county court la about to be called upon to decide who owns the cow that Mra. Emma D. Houghton of 2413 Capitol avenue had before John W. Cooper and Justice of the Peace Foster at tsched It. To those unfamiliar with the cow's his tory there Is nothing extraordinary about her. Her waist measure Is about the same as other cows', her manicuring Is nothing to boast of and It has even been suspected thst she Is knock-kneed. But her name Is "Litigation" and ahe has been responsible for all kinds of legal papers being served within the last few weeks. The trouble, it Is said, atarted when Mrs. Houghton stumbled over a brace at the carnival grounds during the last Ak-Sar-Ben festivities. Foster and Cooper, who were boarding at her home, undertook to get damages for her by mean, of the usual legal negotiations with the city. The city went to the Ak-Sar-Ben managers. And ths Ak-8ar-Ben managers went straight to Mrs. Houghton. But of this latter fact, the attorneys say they were not made cognis ant. They grew suspicious only when some new furniture arrived at ths Houghton home Then they, too, went to their land lady. They wished to know If the matter had been compromised without their sanc tion and Mrs. Houghton told them that ahe had $300 caah, as an evidence of the ac curacy of their gueaa. They suggested that attorneys do not negotiate for nothing, and she tuggeeted that the - weather was as profitable a toplo of conversation, as they could take up at that particular time. ' The men of law felt , piqued, went into court and when she confessed judgment In the sum of $125, they sent a constable clear out to the county line to waylay a man who was bringing Mrs. Houghton's cow home from a visit with relatives In Washington county. The coaatable attached the cow for the amount of the fees alleged to be due Foster and Cooper. But Mrs. Houghton haa a daughter, Essie, who knows a thing or two or three herself, and she claimed the cow as her own, and succeeded In re plevying It The meek-eyed dairy, ad Junct is back In Washington county again and the title to her Is what Judge Vlnson haler !a to decide. But that la net the end of the litigation Foster end Cooper hsve alao Instituted suit against Walter Jardlne, aa a member of the Ak-Sar-Ben board, alleging that he owes them damages in the sum of $: for inducing Mrs. Houghton to break her nominal contract wtth them. This also Is to come before the county Judge for set tlement. M'CARTHY BUYS THE DRINKS Costs Him Seventeen Dellars ta Sqnare Joke . Bpraaar ... la Variety Theater. Eugene McCarthy has been making money out In Wyoming and oame to Omaha the other day with a willingness to spend some of It. He got the opportunity sooner than he expected. Out around Caaper, where he comes from, it Is correct form to buy a drluk every time your same is spoken, and It becomes second nature to. a well-to-do sheep man to apeak up promptly on auch occaalona. McCarthy went to a local theater,, where a pair of Irish comedians were earning their bread end pretsela by the sweat of their Jawa. One of them waa auppoaed to be named McCarthy, but the real McCarthy out In front didn't know that. Neither did be know that the other member of the team says ths same old thljvgs night after night Finally, this comedian, following bis ached ule, waved his hsnd before him and shouted: "McCarthy, the drinks ara oa you!" Tha man from Wyoming was on hla feet before he bad time to think what he was about, and called back: "I don't know yes, but if they're on me I'll buy thlml What will yes taker When McCarthy got back ' to the Mer chants' hotel that night it cost him Just a little over $17, to prove to his friends that he fully appreciated that the Joke was on him. Mr. McCarthy, It may be related In cldentally, went to Casper eight years ago without a thing on earth, but an unpleasan memory of Cincinnati. Today hs owns 10,000 sheep and a bank account that la lusty nd (rowing. Aaaooneements af tha Theaters.

A contract for the construction of the Presbyterian semlnsry probably will be let thla week, and work will be atarted by April 1. The building to be constructed this spring will be 60x150 feet in area, three stories high. It Is Intended to be one of the permanent dormltorlea, but until the other buildings can be erected It will be used for the semlnsry proper. The first floor will for the present contain the class, study and lecture rooms. Ths second and third floors will be prepared for dormitories. The ground secured by the seminary con tains about five acrea bounded by Twenty- first, Twenty-second, Spencer and Emmet streets. The building fo'r which plans are now prepared will face Emmet street. The general plan of the grounds contemplates the erection of three other buildings of the size of the first one. The permanent publlo building, containing the lecture rooms, class rooms and study rooms will face Twenty first street. Facing Spencer street will be another dormitory, while a library build ing will faoe Twenty-second street Be tween the library building and the dormi tories will be six or eight cottages, the dwelling of the teachers at the seminary. In the center of the tract, aurrounded by the aeveral buildings, will be a qusdrangle or court, containing an acre or' more, which will Insure sufficient light and air tor each building. The completion of the plan of the man agers of the seminary dependa upon the recelpta of the institution from ordinary sources and the liberality of Ita friends. It Is said that as soon as the Institution Is In Its new quartera there will be nearly twice as many pupil. In the classes aa there are now. The faculty hopes to bs able to open the fall term of school In the new building. Amusements. At the Boyd. Not since the days of the opera "H. M. S. Pinafore," haa there a company of Juvenile theatrical performers been seen In Omaha until Sunday afternoon, when Pollard's Au stralian Juvenile Opera company opened an engagement at Boyd's theater, presenting The Gaiety Girl," a two-act musical comedy. The company numbers thirty-eight children. Thirty-two of whom are girl, and six boys, ranging In age f rom 7 to IS years. Eight of these are Mr. Pollard's own children, each of which appears In a leading role. The children are all talented and aside from the novelty of the attraction It Is really deserving of praise for Its merit as a pleasing entertainment, as would naturally be expected of actor, and ac tresses of such tender yeara, the young sters are a trifle shy on histrionic ability, although the comedy portion of the play is well sustained. The children are all Au stralian born and speak with a broad Eng lish accent, which at tlmea la a trifle hard to understand, but not so much so as to be annoying. The ' ensemble work is quite remarkable the choruses being praiseworthy for both strength and harmony. Daphne Pollard, -a mite of T, Is ths distinctive hit of the piece. She enacts the comedy role of Corporal Lance, and there Is not a minute while she-Is on the state, that the audience Is not kept In an uproar of laughter. The Interpolation of a little French song by her In the second art won a half dosen encores. and she was forced to repeat a little dance, which she did, a like number of tlmea. Willie Pollard a lad of 12, won considerable applause for his clever comedy work In the part of Chaplain Brlerly. Hla make up and facial expressions would do credit to many comedlana much hla senior. The Major Barclay of Willie Thomas, a 10-year-old, waa both amusing and pralaeworthy. Madge Woodeon, a tiny tot, wore the clothes and dignified air of a granse dame In the part of Lady Virginia Forrest. Alice, Connie and Ivy Pollard, all have good singing voices and all were given an opportunity to display their ability In aolo numbera. Monday and Tueaday night "The Maacotte" 111 be the offering. Monday afternoon there will be a special matinee of "The Geisha" and the engagement will cloae Wednesday night with the same piece. At the Ornheam. The Orpheum furnishes a vaudeville en tertainment thla week that la well worth aeelng. The program la widely diversified and there Is not an act among the eight of which It Is made up but possesses some meritorious feature. Marie Walnwrlght, the well-known actress, head, the bill with a one-act play by Theodore Kramer, entitled, "The Lady and the Clock." It la an episode supposed to have occurred In the time of Cromwell's Invasion of Ireland and while It does not give Miss Wain wright the opportunity to display bar talent that one might wlah It will pleaae the aver age vaudeville audience much better than a more artlstlo one. Wenona and Frank are experts extraordinary with the rifle They do aome novel fancy shooting as well as much thst Is conventional. James Cul len haa a dosen good parodies on popular songs thst are entertaining and some good Jokes, as well as some that are so old that the time limit should be sprung on them. Bidney Grant imitates well-known actors cleverly. The St. Leon family doea a con ventional acrobatlo act. The Clipper quar tet offers a balf-doaen well rendered selec tions aad the Wlngate sisters a rather mediocre trapsxe act. Traeadera. At the Trocadero this week two new and original burlesques, entitled, "At Gay Coney Island" and "Mixed and Twisted," give promlss of novelty and lively enter tainment.

Tsiepnoaa iu, BANQUET TO COLONEL WILSON rrleads af Retlrta Army Officer Olva Him Barnrtae at Omaha Clan. Ssturday evening at the Omaha club a number of frlenda gave Colonel David B. Wilson. V. 8. A., who will retire under the age limit Wednesdsy, a surprise In ths way of a complimentary banquet. About dosen of his Intimate associates In civil and military life assembled at the club and brought the colonel Into the dining room under false pretence. After the feast, O. C. Redlck, as spokesman for the banqueters, presented the colonel with a loving cup of liver, upon which aa handlea are mounted the horna of a buck aktllfully done In the same metal. Several ahort talka were made, to which the colonel responded In a happy vein. Colonel Wilson has been stationed at Omaha for more than a year. He came as chief commlseary of tha Department of the Missouri and remained In that position until Major Nlskern was assigned to that duty, when he became Inspector general. Colonel Wilson Is now lieutenant colonel of the Twenty-fifth regiment, an organiza tion with which he has been Identified since its organization. He entered the army from civil life during the civil war. He has a record for seniority which Is hard to equal. For a doien year he was the senior flrst-lleutenant of the army, ten years of which he was adjutant of the regiment. Then followed almost as many yeara when he was senior captain.' The Spanish war made advancement more rapid and he was major for only a comparatively short time, having been made lieutenant colonel alnce his arrival In this department. Dur ing the Spanish war hs waa detailed to duty In the commissary department, which posi tion he retained until recently. Colonel Wilson Is the principal owner of a state bank at Laurel, Neb., and owns a large tract of land la the same county, which has been divided into farms. He will reside in Sioux City, whloh Is only a few miles from his Nebraska property, and has secured a home at Eleventh and Pierce streets In that city to which he will remove In a week or two. RUMORS OF. LABOR TROUBLE Had Carriers' Union May Have Griev ance Rea-ardlaar Work oa New Shops. Rumors of trouble between tha Hod Car riers' union and the contractors for the new Union Pacific shops have been heard in labor clrclea for a dav or two and it has been said that It might culminate tn strike of the bulldlnr trades. A memhnr of the Bricklayers' union, the one mnat directly Interested aside from the hod ear ners, said: The trouble originates over something outside of the control of the unions and it seems difficult to see how the bricklayers can do involved, even though the hod car riers should not secure their . demands. From what I can understand, the terms of the contract between the railroad and the contractors provide that the railroad com pany shall furnish all of the unskilled law required, paying thla labor and receiving creait upon . the amount Involved In the contract. It Is now said that the company will uae thia unskilled labor to do the work usually done by ' the hod carriers and plasterers' and bricklayers' helpers. I do not think that tha Ttrirlrl.v.va union, under these circumstances, csn afford to make trouble . for the contraptnr whn will employ union labor where he emnlov. any. Tne orlclc 'Will have to be laid by members or the Omaha union, aa there are not enough workmen of the other kind to get the work drme. - Thla la mint tn k busy year and la Order to have the work aone on time bo 'trouble can be permitted. The Bricklayers' union Is conservative and cannot afford to ' make trouble where It can possibly be avoided." ' FORBEARANCE OF AMERICANS Major Mllaap Bpeaka af Conduct af 1'nlted States Soldiers In Trylngr Tlmea. Major John Mtlsap, general secretary of the Salvation army for Iowa and Nebraska. who recently returned from the Philippine islands, where. he spent over a year In re ligious work, referring yesterday to his experience said: , "That which Impresses me most In con nection with my experience In and about Manila, aalde from) the Interesting and valuable reaults of Salvation army work there, la the view-, so many psople take of the attitude of the American govern ment In the Philippines. Of course, I am oppoaed to wars among nations, but I must say the policy of the United States there Is deserving of support and approval of all men. The forbearance of the American soldiers with respect to the Filipinos dur ing the trying and exciting scenes attend ing the capture of Manila and afterward excited my admiration and respect. The situation was for a long time not generally accurately understood, but since then the country haa become Informed In detail of the conditions obtaining there and the dif ficulties attending tha establishment of gen eral peace. Time is aa important element In problems of this kind, where Ignorance ao generally prevails. I believe thla gov ernment could not have adopted a differ ent policy and I further believe the na tives will, as they become better Informed, recognise this fact, and also thst their condition now Is Immeasurably better than It was and will Improve aa time goes by." BIG WEEK FOR THE JOBBERS Secretary Vtt Bare All Records Ware Broken Darin Last Biz Pays. Last week waa a record breaker In the history of the wholesale markets of Omaha. The last of the spring excursions of the Jobbers' association was on In full blaat and buyers came from every state and terri tory between the Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains north of Arkanaas. John E. Utt, aecretary of the association, said: "If thla crowd had come a year ago we could not have handled It. There would not have been material enough la the city to have supplied the demand. Buyera who have patronised Chicago and St. Louis ex clusively In yesrs past have come to Omaha and purchased their entire line. The work of the Joint agent of the railroads here shows that during the week more people came than during two weeks laat year, and these psople were all buyera Many stopped over last year on their return from Chi cago to aee what Omaha bad to offer. This year theae same persons came to buy , In thla city. "It la impossible to estimate the total business done by the different Jobbers dur ing the week, as many purchasers did not come near the secretary of the association. but It is safe to say that the total was In exceaa of any two weeks ever experienced la the Omaha wholesale district."

At the laat meeting of the library board the queatloa was brought up of a celebration to mark the twenty-fifth annlreraary of the founding of the Omaha Public library as a city Institution. For some yesrs previous to 1877 a subscription library had been maintained In the city by a private associa tion, and the state legislature that year passed a law enabling the city to take the management of the affair under municipal control. Thla wss done In August of thst year. The matter went no further than a sug gestion at the last meeting, but It waa agreed that the occasion should be used to bring the people Into closer touch with the institution and that a reception might be held at the building during one or two days, when visitors would be shown through the library and be made acquainted with Its work and treasures. The Nebraska State Library association ill hold Its next meeting In Omaha, and a member of the board ssld that the two events could probably be united, tbe cele bration of the quarter-centenary being made coincident with the meeting of the atate organisation. This could easily be done, as during the months of June, July and August occur anniversaries of three steps taken In the organization of the library as a public Institution, anyone of which could be observed. In this case all llntereeted in library work In the states of Nebraska and Iowa would be invited anil the occasion would take on more than local Importance. COLONIST EXCt RMOSS.
