There was just a spark from the flint yea.
terday when Clement Chase of All Saints',
Omaha, moved that that part of the ad
dress of Bishop Coadjutor Williams Mist
ing to the history of the church name and
the proposed change In it be referred to a
special committee of four of the clergy and
four of the laity, such committee to con
sider the same and report back to the
council a suitable resolution relative to the
alteration.
To Avoid Dlseassloa.
Henry W. Tates objected to snaking the
committee so large, because he thought It
best to avoid discussion In the committee.
"We wsnt no discussion of this ques
tion until It comes before the council," he
said. Others spoke and then Robert H. L
Craig of Trinity cathedral Introduced a
resolution Intended to fix 11 o'clock as a
definite hour at which the committee
should report this morning and at which
general discussion should begin. Judge J.
M. Woolworth, temporarily In the chair,
held the Craig resolution out of order be
cause conflicting the Chase resolution. Into
which had been Inserted a clause stating
that the committee report should come In
the regular order of special committee re
ports. The discussion became general and
lively, and terminated only when Bishop
Coadjutor Williams addressed the council
beseeching It to abandon Its discussion of a
minor point and pass on to the matter of
mission pledges. At this, the movers of
motions withdrew them, the discussion
ceaaed and other matters were taken up
after the bishop coadjutor had named the
committee called for by the Chase resolu
tion. Buch committee Includes Revs. Wil
liams (of St. Barnabaa), Mackey, Pattee
and Mulligan; with Messrs. Woolworth,
Yates, Ringwalt and Chase.
Reports and Addresses.
The program of the day wss one largely
of reports and addresses, concluding with
a banquet at the Millard hotel last night.
. At 10:80 a, m., with a robed choir assist
ing, the general meeting had opened with
holy communion In the cathedral, Blahop
Williams being the celebrant. Canon Bur
gess of Plattsmouth deacon and Dr. Dough
erty, formerly of Omaha, but now of Tank
ton, subdeacon; Rev. Francis White of St.
Andrews, bishop's chaplain, and Rev. W. H.
Moor of St. Paul's, master of ceremonies.
The sermon was by Rev. A. S.. Lloyd of
New York, general secretary of the Board
of Foreign and Home Missions of the' Epis
copal church. He said that the purpose of
Jesus was to change people's estimates of
ths eternal; to foster the conception that
the 'relation between man and hls'.Maker
ts as the relation between child and father,
as Indicated when He was appealed to teach
His followers how to pray and began, "'Our
Father."
Repairing to the chapel the council or
ganised with Bishop Coadjutor Williams In
the chair by electing Rev. W. H. Moor of
8t. Paul's, Omaha, diocesan secretary- He
In turn chose Rev. John A. Williams assist
ant secretary. A message of sympathy was
sent the diocese of Qulncy, which ts now
in session, and which has recently lost Its
most prominent bishop.
Bishop Worthlngton's address, dealing
with general church affairs, was read In
the afternoon, as was also Bishop Coad
jutor Williams'. The latter recounted the
work of trie year, mentioning the losses as
Including Bishop' Whittle of Virginia;
J Dlshop Thompson of Mississippi, Bishop
Barnwell of Alabama and Bishop Taylor
of Qulncy. He referred to Dean Fair as
one who "leaves the record of a Oodly
priest devoted to the service of Ood and
man," and as "a dean loyal to his bish
ops." Blahoa Williams' Address.
m-KAH uMiiUm, innki also of the oroa-
i)i,uu)i ' ' -
pect for enlargement of the Cavrkson
Memorial hospital, and of other business
affairs of the church, and then approached
J the somewhat delicate toplo of the move
s' ment to change the church name. After
I recounting at length the history of the
V derivation or origin, of various titles, he
said:-.
."The church's name should express a
character and a conception which Is In
finitely higher and greater than the acci
dents and controversies of time. Unfor
tunately, her present name in thla land
expresses only contention, controversy, the
poor, wretched accidents of time, the
strifes of men rather than the faith of the
Living Ood and His Bon, Jesus Christ.
"In approaching the discussion of Jbls
most Important question, let .me exhort
you, brethren of the clergy and laity, to
put aside all heat and passion, to discuss
It as, reasonable men should, with reason
snd dignity and the deepest respect for
the opinion and arguments of one another.
Those of you who will oppose and resist the
change will remember that you opposed
many ether things Just as earnestly as you
now oppose this. You first opposed, then
tolerated, and Anally you have moat cor
dially aoqulesced In them and would not
tiow-wllllngly surrender them.
Te Advocates of Change.
"And you who desire the change, renters
bar that those who may not favor It have
prescriptive rights In the; present name
which they will be loath to surrender. ' It
will' be your duty and province to con
vince them; and your duty to patiently wait
until, you have won at least their acquie
scence If not their cordial assent to what
you propose. The movement Is young and
yet It has gathered strong momentum
which must carry Its purpose before many
yeara It will be quite sufficient for you
here In this diocese -te assert your con
vlctlon of the expediency of a charge of
, name sometime In the hear future without

pressing It to an Immediate conclusion by
the adoption of any of the names now sug
gested for the consideration of the church."
Bishop Ceaajetor'a Werk.
In speaking of his own work the bishop
coadjutor asld: "In pursuance of my du
ties I hsve traveled 12,000 miles, have made
even a more thorough visitation cf the field
than usual, holding services In every church
opened for worship. In all I have made
11S visitations, U of them official, 409 re
ceiving the lesser sacrament of confirma
tion. I love the work. It ts the very
breath of my life and I am very thankful
that, by the blessing of Ood. I have been
given strength to fill sll my appointments
and to meet all reasonable demands upon
my time."
Becretsry Lloyd from New York was to
have spoken during the afternoon, but the
Chase resolution. Introduced Immediately
after the coadjutor's address, precipitated
such a long debate that there remained of
the afternoon hours only enough for the
taking of diocesan pledges, which pledges;
Inclusive of the $700 raised by the women's
auxiliary at Its meeting Tuesday, reached
a total of about $4,000.
Tbe council's adjournment for the day
was at f:4f, with o'clock as the hour for
convening this morning.

LEADING MINDS Of CHURCH PRESENT
Growth of Xebraaka Dloccae the
Chief Toplo of Debate at the
Baaqaet Given Last
Night.
Th dinner given by the churchmen ot
Omaha to the clergy and lay delegates to
the thirty-sixth annual council of the Pro
testant Episcopal dloceae of Nebraska,
at the Millard hotel last night, was an
occasion for ths assembling of about 101
members of the church In Nebraska, rep
resenting the lesding minds of almost
every parish In the diocese.
The toastmaater of ths evening was Hon.
Matthew A. Halt, who Introducing the
first speaker of the evening, Rt. Rev. A. U
Williams, coadjutor bishop of Nebraska,
made a happy hit upon the law ot the
nativity of the bishop and his penchant fot
hunting.
The bishop then gave the visitors warm
welcome to the see city on behalf of the
clergy and laymen of Omaha. He referred
to the change in name of the church, which
he said would be the principal theme fot
consideration today and said that In spite
of the euphoneoue name which appears .on
the prayer book, tha church Is Identical
with the historical, apostolla Catholic
church. He advocated the organisation ot
a church club, having for Its object Che
Increase In social and fraternal feeling
among the members of the different par
ishes, first of the see city and later ot the
other parts of the diocese. He referred to
the work of the Chicago church club and
the Minnesota church club, both of which
are doing much toward bringing the lay
men together In their church work. He
said that he expects to organise a olub
next fall and would Invite the secretary
of the two club mentioned to be here to
explain the method of operation. He men
tioned Chancellor Woolworth, Walter
White of Plattamouth, John D. Ooss and
James Van Nostran as four laymen who
were delegates to the first diocesan coun
cil, three of them being delegates to the
present councils. He would have the dio
cese, and not the parish, the unit ot
church effort.
Review of Dlocesaa Coanclls.
"A Third of a Century In the General
Convention' was the theme of Chancellor
James M. Woolworth, who has been a dele-
gats to every convention since 18S7. The
speaker said that the convention of 1S68
was greatly agitated by a discussion of the
subject of "Ritualism," something that has
lately passed out of prominence. Then
there was a great deal of feeling upon the
subject, the discussion being along lines
of ceremonies, modes of worship and meth
ods, then thought to be similar to the
servloes ot Rome, but which are now
adopted In almost all of the churches ot
the United States. The bitterness, of the
discussion disappeared. At the next con
vention the subject came up under what
was then supposed to be a difference ot
doctrine. At that convention was made
the speech ot Dr. DeKoven, declaring the
high ground of sacramental worship. It
was a sad day when the general conven
tion said he was not fit to be bishop of
Illinois. He was a man of the most pro
found spiritual life and did much to lift
the church to the high plane It Is approach
ing. The convention At Baltimore was held
at ths time-of -the'Chlcego fire. A-' col
lection was taken for' the sufferers' and the
lord bishop of Litchfield. Dr.. Selwlri. de-"
llvered, an Impsssloned address. But the
next man to address the convention ' wss
Bishop Clarkson, who came before the
audience and delivered an address which
carried the 'enthusiasm beyond anything
Bishop Selwln could do. r
In after conventions the subject of mis
sions came forward. Missions today Is the
great question before the church, for it Is
the subject that calls out its energies and
devotions'. Another subject which agitated
the church was the prayer-book revision,
and what Is known as the' "Huntington
resolutions."
Growth of the Charch.
The third epeeker was Chsrles T. Neal
of Lincoln, who spoke of "The Growth" of
the Diocese." Mr. Neal said that at the
organisation of the diocese It contained 700
communicants wltrl church property worth
$123,000. There were eighteen clergymen.'
fourteen church buildings, of which six
have disappeared together with the towns
that contained them. ' In 1900, after the di
vision of ths diocese, there were fifty-three
churches, thirty-three clergymen, with
property valued at JJ 00,000. Between 1900
and 1903 the number of communicants has
Increased 600 snd the diocese now has sixty
church buildings, thirty-eight clergymen
and the number of communicants Is now
4.S0O.
"The Ladles" was the theme of Rev. 'F.
S. White of Omaha, who paid tribute , to
the work of the women In the church, say
ing that on Sunday they formed nine-tenths
of the congregation and ten-tenths on week
days. Clement Chase was called upon to
respond to the toast, "Ths Church and Its
Constitution."
Rev. Arthur 8. Lloyd, secretary of the
missionary board of the church, responded
to the toast, "The Apportionment Plan,"
and "The Men and the Pariah" was re
sponded to by Frank Haller.

THEATER FULL OF INFANTS

MeltHade of Amhltleaa
Entries.
There were babies In the boxes, there
were babies In the parquet, bablet In the
circle, babies in the balcony, babies In the
gallery, babies In the foyer, babies In the
retiring rooms and baby carriages lining
the lobby and the sidewalk at Boyd's yes
terday afternoon. It was babies' day and
the Ferris 8tock company oft ere 1 prises for
the three prettiest infants under I years.
Five hundred loving .mothers responded,
but of course 4S7 were doomed to disap
pointment. The baby exhibition was held
on the stage after the performance of
"Shamus O'Brien," the "rollicking Irish
comedy-drams," as ' It Slid on ths bills.
But during the tour acts the packed thea
tre was one gigantic nursery. With the
Judges and reporters the only men in the
house, there were few women, mothers or
not, who were much Interested In the fate
of poor Shamus. The big show for them
was to come later. Indeed, there was lit
tle use-In paying attention to the play,
for the chubby kings and queens of baby
land asserted . thslr supremacy, their
hunger, their terror and their vocal acquire
ments. At every discharge of the Hibern
ian blunderbuss there wss a nursery
chorus that rivaled the . famous anvil
chorus In amplitude Of eeund. -
Mora Traynor, a charming little blonde,
won the Judges by her artless wiles and
unconscious pleading and to her went the
blue ribbon and the prlie of 110. The
second and third prises of t and 13 each
were bestowed upon babies whoss ftimei
were not secured .by- the judges. The
mother ''of tbe third baby absolutely re
fused to give the youngster's name and the
second prise Infant was taken from the
throng as quickly as possible.
Frank Furay, B. H. Smith and C. L.

of selecting the beauty cherubs, and they
had to be escorted from the theatre by a
guard of matinee girls, one of whom pout
Ingly remarked, "I don't see why they
don't give a prise for g'.rls as big ss us."

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Annexation Talk U Hard Hot Than Ever
on tba Street
- V f I . .v' " "a.j.jaaaaaaBaBt ",? ' ' '
BONO iSSUC ' IS CAUSING THE - DEBATE
a- " 1 1 1
Taxpayers Realise the Bnrdea that Is
Entailed aad Object ta Adding ta
It lader tha Present
Prospeet.
Annexation was one topic ot conversation
on the streets and In the stores yesterday.
More than one business msn who hereto
fore has been opposed to annexation
stated yesterday that If the question came
up at this time the proposition would carry.
For some 'time past there hss been a feel
ing among the people that annexation to
Omaha is not far oft. Today the feeling In
favor ot the proposition Is stronger thrin
ever and It those who are Interested keep
on working It may be that the question can
be voted on before long.
"What Is the use of South Omaha tax
payers voting bands for Improvements
here," said a man who has a considerable
sum Invested here, "when annexation Is
staring us In the face." Continuing, this
bUHlness man said: "Since the Fire and
Police board has put a wall around tha
city and prohibited almost everything In
the book, there Is no chance for a business
man at slL We might as well be annexed
now as at some future time, for the rea
son that If the proposed Issue of bonds
carry It wll) only add to the debt when an
nexation does corns." Inquiry among mer
chants of all classes, clothiers, druggists,
shoe men, real estate dealers and even conl
dealers, shows that trads is dull.
While the city needs the Improvements,
especially a nsw high school building. It Is
doubtful now If the bonds will carry the
way matters In the city are progressing.
It Is understood that several of the many
tnlons In the city have discussed the bond
problem and have decided to vote against
the proposition when the day comes.
At the present time the general bonded
debt ot South Omaha Is 1307,000, snd the
district Indebtedness a little over $200,000. A
well known representative of a Toledo bond
concern, Bpltxer A Co., called at The Bee
office yesterday afternoon for tha purpose
of looking Into the proposition. He ssld
that even at I per cent the bonds, -If off
ered for sals, would bring but- a small pre
mium and that under existing conditions
it might be hard to find bidders even at
that rate of Interest. By raising the rate
of Interest on the proposed bonds from IH
to not more thsn I per cent ths city offi
cials sxpected to secure premium enough
to help out the general fund until the 1903
levy Is available.
Some say that as annexation Is' coming
soon a city hall costing $50, (XX) is not needed.
All those who have business at the city
hall admit that the quarters are Inade
quate to the needs of the city. This talk
for annexation does not come from any one
class of people or from politicians repre
senting any one party. The fever seems to
be on and a great many ot the people say
that they would like to hsve a chance to
vote on the question as soon as possible.
Bergqnlst's Order ModlSed.
On Tuesdsy evening the Fire and Police
board adopted a resolution introduced by
Nolan, directing the acting chief of police
to remove all slot machines, "excepting
those used as and known as merchandise
machines."
Chief Brlggs called upon A. I Bergqulst,
secretary of the board, Wednesdsy morn
ing for Instructions and Mr. Bergqulst In
structed the chief to cause every slot ma
chine ot any kind to be removed. The chief
went about his business and notified saloon
keepers, druggists and cigar dealers. Those
who had either attended the meeting of
the board or had read the resolution
adopted, complained Immediately to other
members of the board and the result wss
that the chief had to go over hts routo
again and release the embargo on merchan
dise machines.
Ons resolution of the board offered by
Pettf-Johnnys know the results
of such breakfasts: an empty
feeling soon after .eating; a
system weak and broken down.
One package of
"ready-to-eat" cereals. It will go
four times as far. Sold at the .
same price per package.
Ccrcta coupon In every package.
Nixon was that prohibiting children to go
Into saloons after cans of beer.- By many
this Is considered one of the best moves
the board has made. In some sections ot
the city a practice Is made to send children
after beer. This will now be stopped and
all saloon hwpers hava been notified to
desist from selling liquor of any kind to
minors, o v .' , -
ghrlgley AaswOrs King.
' Wednesday afternoon City Clerk Shrlg
ley mailed a reply to W. A. King, ehlel
statistician of the vital statistics depart
ment at Washington In regard to the mak
ing out of elaborate death reports by local
physicians. Mr. Shrlgley said that it Is
a bird matter to get physicians to fill
out even the simple form In use here now,
and he docs not consider the elaborate
scheme proposed by the government prac
ticable at this 'time.. In conclusion Mr.
Shrlgley ststed that he would lend any as
sistance to the department In Washington
that is in his power, but as the local iu
thorities seem Indifferent to the en fore
men t of the local laws he Is practically
powerless. There has always been a com
plaint In South Omaha about the lax
methods pursued by physicians In reporting
births and deaths. Ordinances havs been
passed, signed and printed and recorded,
but the doctors simply will not obey. While
the ordinances In force provide (nr fine
for neglecting to report either births ot
deaths no attempt has ever been made to
enforce them.' .
