8 TITE OMAHA DAILY BEEj MONDAY, BEFTEMHETt 1, 1002. 1SE STRIKE ENDS TUESDAY 7iion Pacific Oar Baildsrs Dwids to leiums Their Wrk. MACHINISTS AND OTHERS REMAIN FIRM B)rllaal gtrlkera Assert that Retara f the Car Mrn Will la Xo War Affect Their (Maad Agslast Company. The t'nlon Pacific csr builders' strike Is ver. The car builders decided yesterday, at a meeting In Labor temple, to give up the fight and return to work Tuesday morning. ' They would return this morning If this was not Labor day. This action was predicted Saturday, when twenty or twenty-five of the car men went back to work in the shops. From that time It was a foregone conclusion that the car builders would surrender and re turn to their placea In the shops. "We have disbanded our union," said an official of the erstwhile car men's local union yesterday after the meeting. "We are sorry we ever struck now, but we have done what seemed best to us. As a matter of fact. It would have been folly, utter folly, for us to have held out and tried to cope with the disadvantages against us; they were too great. We bad no resources and we had no organisation, alnce the little union we formed here smong ourselves was not recognized and supported by the National Brotherhood of Railway Car Men. We applied for admis sion Into the national body and failed to get it. We did not care to go back into the Car Builders' association, whence we bad come; to have done so would have been to have divided our number, for many, the majority, in fact, were not In favor of going into that orgar.iatlon. Bo there you are. What was left for us to do but disband our organization and take our po sitions back while we could get them? We are Just as much opposed to accepting piecework as we were at first,' but what can we do? Where we made our error was in striking in the first place, but we didn't know then what we do now." - Car Builders Are ladepradent. The 1S5 car builders .who struck and who will return to work are not closely allied in their crafts to the motive power shopmen who are on a strike, and it is gen erally admitted that their surrender will nave no effect whatever upon the strike of the other men. The machinists, boiler makers and blacksmiths were opposed to the strike of the car men In the first place and do not feel particularly disconcerted over their action in returning to work. Some individuals, however, look upon the course of the car men as unfavorable to the cause of the strikers, more in moral than material 'effect. No new developments have arisen in the motive power shopmen's strike or In the builders' who were at work on the new shops. Some vital change may occur In the latter Wednesday morning.

Herring preached at the First Congregational church Sunday morn ing from the text and theme: "What is Tour Life?" James i, 13. These were the words of the disciple in that epistle. The pastor dwelt upon the evidences of a divine origin of the human soul, and the Christian view of the service due to Christ, who has ransomed his soul, and closed as follows: "If there Is any one danger which more than another threatens me and my fellow men It Is, that of evading the full accept ance of the responsibility of our lives. We drift with the currents of custom and prejudice and example. We yield to the caprice and passion and weakness within ourselves. We shut our eyes to the far reaching consequences of our influence. We refuse to take the long view of things ex tending far beyond today's sowing to the harvest, which It will bear. We shrink from testing the present duty by the stern light of the Judgment day. We are impatient of the discipline where full fruitage can only be found in the long ages of the future. "We read with blind eyes and unrespon sive heart the parable of the talents where from the gentle lips of Christ Is taught not only the lofty record of faithfulness, but the fearful irremediable disaster, which waits on faithlessness to our trust. It Is the distinguishing glory of our Puritan fathers that they accepted as no other class of men have ever done, the full re sponsibility of life. Doubtless they were too sombre a visage, often they failed in their sense of the proportion of things. But no man destitute of the Puritan spirit can ever stand level with life's demands. "This Is my answer to the apostle's ques tion from out the heart of my own deepest faith. My life Is God's gift bearing the dignity of its divine origin summoning me to respect myself for the divine In mo and to despise myself for every sin and folly which defiles His image. "My life Is Christ's, the purchase of His love and agony, to be yielded to Him in grateful service. "My life is my own, dowered with un fulfilled possibilities which I must attain through toll and pain and earthly love, if need be. "So there are three ownerships, three seals of possession upon my soul. But there is no conflict between them. For all things are mine, and I am Christ's and Christ is God s. 'I have opened to you my own heart. I now lay the question on yours. What is your life? Are you facing its significance? Ara you dealing fairly with its high and solemn issues? My brother, I beg you. to remember, whoever you are, whatever you do, how glorious is the treasure in your keeping, how perilous your watch and guard. In the midst of your adversity, buffeted by misfortune, faint and sick, for get not that your life need not suffer. The buffeting of the waves will pass. Oh, keep the integrity of your soul. Cherish your life's health. "In the midst of your prosperity, grasp ing with esger hands the pleasures and ambitions of the world, I beg - you to re member that your life is more than these. If in their pursuit your , soul suffers loss there la nothing that can make It good." UIIUTItJft QC&QnW flPFNS TflfUY "eron and evening, liuiiimu wunvw,.

Kane Also Answers Qaestlon, ' - "What Is Lltef' The season within which it is lawful to hill ducks and other water fowl In the state of Nebraska opens this morning and until spring It will be lawful to hunt on the lakes of the state. For a month or more the hunters have been Investigating the condition of game at the usual resorts, and report that the early shooting will be good. A large num ber of ducks which usually make their' summer home in more northern waters settled last spring on the lakes of northern Nebraska, and there is a large batch of the ducks which ordinarily spend the sum tner in those waters, so that there will be much more than the usual amount of game early In the season. Few parties will start into the fields. however, for thirty days, as October 1 the open season for chickens and grouse be gins. These birds are more plentiful in the state than they have been for ten years, and Brown, Cherry and adjoining counties are swarming with birds. There has been less pot hunting this season than there was last and the birds are not so wild. By the time the chickens may be killed tbs flight of geese and ducks from northern waters will be In progress, so that hunters expect a most successful sea son. Ths quail are protected from the hunt ers for another year, but the enthusiastic sportsmen cannot refrain from looking at the birds, and they say that when the sea son opens nnxt year these birds will be more plentiful than they have been alnce Nebraska was admitted Into the union, if no bad season Intervenes. One winter, with melting snows which freeze at night, will do more to kill quail than all of ths hunters of the state, and until next spring It will be Impossible to say what the con dition of the birds will be when the sea son opens.

I want to use It in a larger sense, but In complete harmony with the thought of the evange list. The questions, problems and anx ieties of human life, its follies and temp tations are the same In all ages. In this sense It is true that there Is nothing new under the sun. These are not problems to be settled by one generation for another; one man cannot settle them for another, even God cannot remove them without de stroying much of Interest in life, tor it la by solving these problems that wa come into the fullness of manhood. The purpose of religion is to help men at this point. The teachings of Jesus Christ centers about these fundamental features of life. This Is why the teachings of Christ never become antiquated. Life Is a mystery, at which some play, some wrestle and soms scoff, making it a mock and at last a tragedy. "The philosopher, the poet and the mora list have failed to find the end for which they sought. How noble Is the Christian's conception of the soul of man a part of the infinite. But this Is not the Idea with which the world is actuated. There are some to whom life means an opportunity to secure possessions; others to whom life means the power of achievement and others to whom life means the power of develop ment. The first are always thought of in connection with their wealth. Their names are but the label on a mass of treasure and when death rubs out the label they are forgotten. Those who achieve are bet This accounts, tor the great combine of capital and the great greed we see dis played on every hand. The world cannot live without spiritual visions and to live right, to serve God, to make the world better we should cultivate spiritual visions for where there la no vision the people will perish."

Wil liam Fuller by name, whoee namesake Is a general in the army about to be dispatched to Cuba. William Fuller allows it to be understood that he Is General William Ful ler, and out of the situation thus brought about considerable fun is easily developed. Mr. Harry Corson Clarke hardly deserves the adjective "unctuous," for his humor Is neither broad cor oleaginous. On the con trary, he is direct and pointed, and witty without being coarse or undignified. He makes much of a character In which a less painstaking comedian would certainly fall. In his supporting company he has gathered none but capable people. Mr. S. S. Wlltale, as Christopher Cutting, "who fixes things," Is an excellent foil for Mr. Clarke, and Miss Margaret Dale Owen, as Isabella Dore, a widow, who weds William Fuller because she loves him, and then Is told her first husband still lives, Is decidedly clever.

Two concerts which won high approbation and contributed, to the popularity . of the Royal Italian band were added yesterday to the history of the Musical festival.

The feature of the evening entertainment, as it was arranged by ths management, was the "Hymn to the 8un," a descriptive com position from Mascagnl's latest operatic work, and it -was produced with great effect and received with evidence of high appreciation and approval. Several of the other numbers, however, moved the audi ence to hearty applause, prominent among them being "Narcissus," which was played as an encore to another selection.

Calvary Baptist. Ths necessity of visions and what the world has gained from men of visionary minds was ths theme upon which Rev. Thomas Anderson discoursed at ths Cal vary Baptist church Sunday morning. Ths sermon was based on ths text, "Where there is no visions the people perish." Rev. Anderson told bis hearers that in common ordinary life visionary people were accepted as persons with disordered brslns, useless, impracticable, pursuers of bubbles The vision, as spoken of in the text, he held was not thus used, but a visionary person was one who really sees. 'The world owes Its greatest achieve ments to men of visionary minds," hs said. 'The discovery of America was the result of a dream or vision of Columbus. Telegra phy was first a vision; ths freedom of a mil lion' black slaves waa thought to be the Idle dream of a visionary mind.

Publio School! to Opei with One Hundred Teacher Tneidaj. FORCE WILL BE INCREASED LATER ON Idea, of Balldlagr New High School Is Understood to Be Abaadoned for the Present Maajle City Gossip. Tuesday the publlo schools will open and it la expected that employment will be given to about 100 teachers. Some of the rooms being prepared are not ready, but will be before the week Is out. Then the number of teachers and Janitors will be In creased. An entire course of study haa been prepared by Superintendent McLean and this will be carried out unless the Board of Education desires to make some changes later on. Most of the buildings have been placed In good repair and the early finish of some of the additions now under consideration Is expected. Under the management of the present board and with the advise of Attorney Sutton and with the hearty consent of Superintendent McLean quite a saving has been made In the matter of supplies and the placing of contracts. While the board will naturally come out with an overlap at the end of Its fiscal year provision will be made for. the payment of teachers and other employes. It Is understood that all Idea of build ing a high school building with the funds at hand has been abandoned, as it is con sidered by the members of the board that the money can be put to a better use at the present time. Labor Day, Today the business houses and the banks will be closed In accordance with the usual custom and the South Omaha labor unions will celebrate the day at Syndicate park. The program of the day's exercises wss printed In full in The Bee yesterday. As far as was given out yesterday there will be no change in the program. Taking; a Cenans. The Ministerial association of South Omaha through a committee of which Rev. George VanWlnkle, pastor of the Baptist church is pastor, will proceed shortly to take a religious census of the city of South Omaha. This work will probably consume some little time, but those who are in terested consider that the information ob tained will be valuable. Sheep Wanted Here. Feeders of sheep assert that there is going to be a continuance of the demand for feeder sheep at this point. Nebraska stock men are taking In all the sheep they can conveniently carry and It Is ex pected that the feeding of sheep will be engaged In on a large scale this winter. It Is ssserted that probably 1,000,000 sheep will be sent to feed lots In Nebraska this fall. Meeting- Probably Postponed. While both the city council and the Board of Education are billed for meetings to night it is possible that an adjournment may be taken by both bodies on account of Labor day. There Is an understanding that the council will adjourn until Tuesday night, but about the Board of Education nothing can be stated with accuracy. There is lit tle for the council to do, but with the board it Is different, as the schools open Tues day and final orders may have to be given. Road Machine Working:. The city road machine, which was Idle for quite a time. Is again tn service and Is being used on Twenty-third street be tween E and B streets. As soon as this work Is completed, which will not be until the rain stops for a time and the roads dry up, the machine will be moved to streets In the southern part of the city, where soms rounding up is badly needed. 'Want Immediate Improvements. Those who expended their money for the grading of E street from Twenty-fourth street east to Twenty-third street want the city to proceed at once to repair the big washout at Twenty-third and E streets. Unless this is done at once it is stated that the whole filling will wash out.. In quiry at the city engineer's office elicits ths Information that in case the grading on Twenty-seventh street continues with out interruption about 6,000 yards of dirt will be used to fill this hole. In addition to this the city will put In a drain and run the storm water onto the property directly east. It will take considerable work and the city will be put to quite an ex pense to make this fill on account of errors made by a person formerly In charge of the street department.
