"In all departmenla of life the more Juat

'In . the church It haa been the aam.
The character of Christianity haa been de

creed, la concerned, and it la the reaction
from this rises that baa made heresy a

HILL FROWNS Oft SOCIETY'S LAPSES.
Tells His ConacreaTatloa Oae Staadard
of Morale Should Prevail.
"Are. Tou Single?" waa the rather" strik
ing and. ambiguous eubject of the evening
sermon preached at the First Christian
church by Rev. H. O. Hill, but he took oc
casion early In bis discourse to say that
' while hi title might indicate otherwise,
the sermon bad no relation to bachelors or
benedicts, splnstera or housewives, but to
,tbe lives of bis bearera as they are being
lived. He chose for bta text James iv, 8:
'"Draw nigh to Ood, and He will draw
' nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye aln
'nere; and purify your hearts ys double
minded." 1
Dr. Hill spoke of the fact that men
seem to b endowed with double naturs;
rata being the link or cooneotlon between
the brut and the divine, hit remaining in
;h!in soms ! the elements of th brut
and at. ths same time possesses an embryo
:of divinity. As Illustrating this, he ro
f erred to the sculptured group by George
Gray Bernard, entitled, "I feel two na
tures struggling within me." This work Is
mad up of two struggling male forms, one
typifying man's lowest nature grovelling In
the dust, and the other man'a highest con
sciousness striving to leave the form of his
companion and reach after better things.
Hs spoke also of the ancient myth of the
youth born Into the world to drive two
steeds, one black and the other white.
Which ha was expected . to guide to the.
goal tn a straight course. He spoke of
man's two natures struggling each against
V' the other for the eupremacy and aald that
the result of the struggle was that men
were in some, cases more or less Influenced
to lead double lives such as "Dr. Jekyll
sad Mr. Hide," as portrayed so ably In
Stevensea's novel. Borne of these double
lives are exposed.' but many tire nsvar discovered.-.
........ ...
' He called ' the attention of hla hearers
to tha Importance - of avoiding small
breaches of honesty such as prompt a man
to avoid the payment ef postage by incor
rectly marking hla package, or failure to
pay street car fare if the conductor does
not . call for . tt. He condemned also the
petty deceptions and dishonesty of every
day life, such as the society lies and failure-
to return borrowed books and umbrel
las for ths reason that while theae things
way be small in themselves their conse
quences are by no means trivial for they
1 tend to a breakdown of character. ,
-The speaker argued for the Same stand
Iard of morals for the man ae the woman
and the same atandard of honeaty for' the
otSce as the pew, the polling booth and the
'prayer meeting. He urged his hearers to
ja stngls-hesrte life and pointed out with
force. the words, 'My son, give Ms thy
(whole heart."
jABT. CONLEY R1CVIKWS THE YEAR.

Rev. J. W. Conley, pastor of ths First
I Baptist church, preached the first sermon
of. his second year's pastorate to a larpe
congregation Sunday morning, at wlilch
tlm also the communion of the Lord's
Supper was observed.
Prior te tha commencement of his morn
ing discourse the pastor gave a brief sum
mary of the work which bad been accom
plished by his church during the year clos
ing January 31.- During that time the ad
ditions to the church had been, by letter,

tion, , making a total of 85.- while the
diminution by letter and by daath waa 21.

and dedicate It fre from all debt.
The subject Of his discourse waa "ChHst's
Thref"M Wirk," tawea from the text,
"The Son r f Man Is come to seek and save
that which Is lent," Luke, six: 10. ,
The pastor stated that there were three
Important facta In success, without which
tbero Is naught but. failure first, knowl
edge; second, position or opportunity;
third. Incentive or Impelling force. Christ
represents all these. Inasmuch aa He Is
the light. He gave His life as a ransom,
and died that we .might have, life. Rev.
Conley called attention to the fact that
all the above principles were woven har
moniously Into Christ's life which are also
the fundamental principles of our success
today. The pastor said thet unleaa men
today. In the great arena of spiritual con
quest against sin, accepted these princi
ples, their work would be frsught only
wkh dismal failure. "Ood is too little un
derstood, and la, besides, the most mis
understood being. We have but to open
the doors of our hearts, accept Him and
gain eternal success," said the speaker.

formed now will endure then. Theae
thoughta, these reflections, are not fancies.
I am dealing with those awful verities of

Euch were the declarations of Robert E.
Lee Craig at Trinity cathedral yesterday
morning In the courss of an addresa based
on Revelations, z, t-: '.'And the angel
which I saw stand upon ths sea and upon
the earth lifted up his hand to heaven and
eware by Him. that llveth forever and for

tho things which therein are, that there

This) vision 1 of John's on ihe Isle of
Patmos be Interpreted as a certain warn
ing, and said:
'My friends, If your time must close. If
your opportunity ' must csase,' let us be
serious and Just and fair with ourselves.
We cannot look upon eternity Without first
the cleansing of slbs, and yet how vague
our groping, how cold and meaningless our
prayers, our attendance upon church how

MASS MEETINGS ARB INAUGURATED.
Flret of a Series le Held at Koaatao
Memorial Charon.
The first of a series of. mass meetings
under the auspices of the Young Men's
Christian association was held Sunday aft
ernoon at 4 o'clock In the KounUe Me
morial church, when the auditorium of that
edifice waa filled to overflowing by an
audience of men of the city. . During the
meeting Mr. Jo Barton sang and a talk
waa given by Rev. Robert Yost' of St.
Mary's Congregational church, who . took
for his subject, "A King and His Ghost."
He likened the demand of King Herod for
Jshn ths Baptist's head and ths ultimate
obeyanc of the king's order and the de
livery to bint of the martyr's head upon
platter, to the conditions of today.
"All of us have t ghost, like Herod,"
said Rev. Yost, "which haunts us during
our daily walks, Which Immediately rises
before us and, between us And our. Christ
when ws are confronted with danger or
death. Every being has an unwritten past
concealed within his mind which is released
Instantly at an opportune time, that we
may realize our affinity with Ood.".
He admonished his hearers to lead pure
and devoted Uvea that ths memory of their
past might - be without blemish and aa
honor to them. Rev. Yoat will address
the meeting; next Sunday. -,
; VASELINE NO GOOD FOR HAIR.
DaadraC Gerba Thrive la tt, aa Well
as la All Grease.
A well known Chicago hair specialist in
vited the Inter Ocean, reporter to come to
his office and see, under a taloroscope, how
the germ thst causes dsndruff thrives ln
vaseline. The specialist said that all hair
preparations containing grease simply fur
nish food for the germs and help to propa
gate them. Tha only way to cure dandruff
is to destroy the germs, and the only hair
preparation that will do that Is Newbro's
Herplclde. "Destroy the eaues, you re

JOHN MAKER ASPHYXIATED

GAS COCK IS FOUND WIDE OPEN
Fart that Traaaom, Alen, la Opea
Taken aa Evidence that the Fa
tallty Was AerMeatal,
' Not Intentional.
John L. Mayer of Btsnton, Neb., a com
mittee clerk at the legislature for Repre
sentative F. M. Gregg of the Bevenleenth
district, died of asphyxiation In room No.
28 at the Merchants' hotel yesterday morn
ing shortly before 6 o'clock, apparently as
result of carelessness tn handling the
gas cock, which waa found wide open. At
I ln the afternoon hla body' waa taken to
Btanton, at the telephoned request of his
father, C. C. Mayer, ln care of hie friend.
Chris Toppenson, In business at Tenth and
Hickory atreets, Omaha. No Inquest was
deemed necessary.
Proprietor H. B. Peters of the hotel
said; "Mr. Mayer arrived here Saturday
evening and registered as from Lincoln.
At 10 o'clock ho waa shown to his room,
leaving a 5:30 call. At 6:30 J. Jones,
porter, was sent to call him, but received
no response to his knocklngs and so re
ported to Steve Miller, the night clerk.
Miller then tried ths fire alarm 'buzser
In Mayer's room and when that failed to
arouse the latter, went to the room door
and buret It in. A great volume of gas
gushed from the room. Miller went In
as quickly as he dared, turned off the cock,
which he found wide open, and turned on
the electrle light.
Only Partially Disrobed.
' "He found Mayer In bed with his under
clothing, shirt and hose on, which , may
have been because he had lost his right
arm and found undressing difficult. Dr.
S.'N. Hoyt waa sent for and arrived In a
very few minutes, but Mr. Mayer waa too
far gone to be revived by even a vigorous
pumping of the arm, and died in a Very few
minutes.
"When Coroner Bralley came he found
In the dead man's coat pocket a memor
andum book which contained his name and
address. We telephoned the operator at
Stanton, who said he knew Mr.' Mayer well
and that his father la retired and well-to-do
farmer there. The operator notified the
father, who telephoned Mr. Toppenson to
get the body and bring It to Stanton at
once.
Always Tried the Gae.
"Mr. Toppenson told me that Mr. Mayer
on prevloua visits to Omaha usually vis
ited him, and that he (Mr. Mayer) had a
habit, of always trying the gas cock upon
entering a room or upon retiring. ' Aa this
gaa cock waa fully eighteen inches from the
electric 11
ln Perfect
electric light handle and as the latter waa
working order I think Mr. Mayer
must have tried the gas and accidentally
left the cock open. I see no evidence of
suicidal Intent and as. strong evidence
against such theory there Is the tact that
the transom waa open two Inches. Oddly,
however, no one had detected the odor of
gaa, even, when the. porter went to make
the call. .Mr. Mayer's position In bed
seemed to Indicate (that ho fell asleep un
conscious of the conditions, and was over
come without ever waking. ' Apparently h
was 85 years old and prosperous. I under
stand he was not married. ' He told some
one here at' the hotel he waa oa his way
to Audubon, la., for a business trip. He
seemed in exoellent spirits, but perfectly
self-possessed." ,,

forms a government and the savages learn
that they must co-operate to secure In

which takes the least from the liberty of

he In whom the altruistic and the egoistic
Ideas are about equal. Therefore, this must
be true of the best government. The best
citizen Is he who best understands his
true relation to his fellow citizen and to
the government under which they live. In
order to bring this about the citizen ahould
be educated In his duties as 4 citizen. Our
public schools are good they have taught
everything except that which will make a
man a good citizen. . More time should be
devoted to tho principles of government.

' "Today we have men running for the
city council on the platform that they will
get large appropriations for curtstn wards
asking to be elected because of their abil
ity to squander the' publlo money. We
sent men to the legislature who expect to
make a satisfactory record because of the
number of bills they Introduce, while they
do not understand the first principles of
government and have no Idea of the real
reason legislatures are organized. In the
case -of the councilman his Idea makes
government organized confiscation of prop
erty. With the high taxes his policy cre
ates, the man of moderate financial condi
tion cannot afford to own a home govern
ment confiscates It. The best government
Is that whtch takes the least from the lib
erties of the people and whenever It seeks
to curb' natural ability and the Inherent
rights of the Individual it becomes in that
degree a tyranny. ,
"The stream can rise no higher than Its
source ana tne government cannot be bet
ter than the people who form It; therefore.
In reforming governments it Is necessary to
begin with the citizen, and when a majority
of our voters are good citizens ln the
highest sense of the word our governments
will be good

' as far as the present population of New Orleans la concerned it has
become thoroughly cosmopolitan, and from Its small beginnings of
parades of masqueraders. It has developed Into pageants far sur
passing In extent and grandeur all similar events occurlng elsewhere
111 the world. This last on the judgment of unprejudiced spectators
qualified by travel and experience to render such an opinion, and
owlns to the fact that through it all, coupled with lavish expendi
ture, there runs a thorough system, of- organization, as complete in
itself as that of a well descipllned army. This spiendid character
istic of Organisation, as -well as the special features of the Carnival,
Is brought about by secret societies formed tor the sole purposes, of
