PREACHES LAST SERMON AT TRINITY
Retiring; Pfan of Cathedral Eihorts
C'onsreaatlon to Approach find
Thrnnth Sacrifice, Prayer
and Friendship.
"And lrt my tort words to you be: Thst
through the practice of self-denial, that
through friendship and fellowship, througn
personal prayer and private communion
with Jesus Christ, that you and I, day by
day, may aiproarh nearer to the statute
of the perfect man In Christ Jesus. Then
at last, when the twilight ftas come and
the evening star appears and the vesper
bell does ring and 'the one clear call' Is
heard, we shall have cropsed the bar tnd
shall see our pilot, face to face, and from
sin and death we shall escape.
"TliHt In ourselves we may find the true
answer to David's question, 'What Is man?"
When we shall behold the Redeemer In our
father's home we shall be made like to
Film. Ah. soul of mine, when thou seest
Him upon whom thou hast relied thou
wilt be satisfied."
In such manner did Rev. Robert K. Tee
Craig take leave as dean of the congre
gation at Trinity cathedral yesterday morn
ing. It wan his last sermon before leav
ing permanently for California and the
edifice wan filled with worshipers. The
discourse was replete with rhetorical beauty
and esthetic feeling. It was composed
around these words of David's:
"When I consider Thy heavens, the work
of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars,
which Thou bast ordained; what Is man
that Thou art mindful of Mm? and the
Bon of man, that Thou vlsltest him?"
Man, the Perfect Product.
"Man," said the minister, after contrast
ing his physical Insignificance with the un
measured universe, "man Is the perfect
product the meaning and the purpose of
creation. Man Is the greatest and grand
est of God's works because In the begin
ning he was formed and fashioned In the
Image of the eternal God, and In the end
it Is written, 'he shall be clothed and
crowned with the transcendant glory of
the Immortal Christ."
"Man is great because be possesses the
divine power of saying, 1 will" and "I will
not. jie is great because he possesses
the possibilities to love and seek and to
gain the eternal life. ' Awful work! Tre
mendous responsibility !
"The story of Eden Is not a fable; Is
not a legend. It Is a sad, stern, fact. Man
sinned and we needed no argument to prove
that. The blood of tho serpent Is In every
corpuscle of the blood of mankind. But
he was not all bad. The prodigal was
given time to come to himself. Let us
brand the doctrine of total depravity as
Ha against God and man, for the pure
white hands of the divine Christ redeemed
us.
"The purpose of the Incarnation of
Jesus Christ In human form, waj not to
show us the beauty of the world or that
the universe Is vast, but that the creature
whom tho Father pleased to call His child
was more precious In his sight than till
the bigness, all the beauty, than all the
wonders of this wide universe more
preclon1n his sight than all the glory of
the angels be has made."
In the World-Herald that a l?-year-old boy
had stayed after church to ssk the speaker
some questions, that person would think
hat the paper were condescending to
mall matter for Its news columns, but he
said a little boy did this same thlt.g 2.000
years ago and out of that Interrogatory
point has been evolved the new era."
And again he pointed out in the train of
the Egyptian princess the lowly poltroon
l Jew who had come there by chance
nd who afterward through a benefaction
became the savior of the country. Dr.
mlth called the attention of the congre
atlon to Charlie Smith, the colored boy,
ho was once the roommate of the great
Deecher and who by reading the scriptures
Ith laughter and tears, first brought the
mind of the eminent divine to religious
houcht.
"There Is no way by which we can tell
what follows our actions or our words.
ut It is Just In this way that the king
dom of God Is being ushered In. In God's
scheme no good word or action Is lost; all
elp His progress, Life must pulsate un
known that the work of God may go on;
we must ever persevere, for soon the cur
tain will be rung up on the last stage of
ur existence. We forget the little roads
nd by-ways through which we reach the
nd, but when at last we are on the sum
mit the beauty of the world bursts on our
gaze."

Greater Than Solomon's.
Speaking from the pulpit of the First
Presbyterian church Sunday morning Rev,
B. H. Jenks took for his text the words
"And the house, when It wis building, ws
built of stone made ready before t was
brought thither; so that there was neither
hammer nor ax nor any tool of Iron heard
In the house, while It was building."
He told of the wonderful temple of Solo
mon's, which the text referred to and of
the details of Its building; how the stone
and the timber were prepared by many
men through countless years In the quar
ries and In the forests of Lebanon.
"None of the workmen," he said, "saw
the plana, but so carefully did they follow
the orders given them for their own par
tlcular part of the work that when the
parts were brought together they fitted
each with the other perfectly and the whole
was builded without confusion or any
change In the material.
"It la so with us. We are building a
house, a temple for the god of gods and
It Is not a material house but one that Is
spiritual, unseen and Intangible and there
fore even greater than the temple of Solo
mon'i. It Is being built In the hearts of
men. In the warm, pulsating heart blood
and In the brain cells of many people. As
In the house of Solomon there are many
parts and each part must fit perfectly with
another and we do not hold or know the
plans but must each do his own particular
part perfectly so that that which we have
done shall not be thrown out as useless but
can go toward the making of the whole.
"Whatever we do is bound to have some
effect somewhere. Nothing Is lost. Physics
has taught us of conservation of energy,
of the Impossibility of destroying anything,
Reduce a tangible substance to Its ele
mental gases and It enters back Into the
tangible world In another series of forms
which may not be recognixable as having
any connection with the old form but is
nevertheless bo. It Is so with energy or
power and latterly with our own efforts,
our own work. There Is always some re
suit. Bo we should put ourselves forward
and labor with all that Is within us all of
the time whether It be for ourselves or for
the employers."

Force of I'aobserved Workings
God's System.
In the First Methodist Episcopal church
yesterday morning Rev. E. Combie Smith
brought out the unobserved workings of
God's system.
"If a reader of the morning Bee should
see at midnight a man had walked Into
Persia looking at the stars, the public,'
aid Dr. Smith, "would say that since
I.ipton has given up hope of the American
cup, since the floods were over and the
strikes, that there was very little for the
papers to print. Tet this seemingly untm
porta nt fact of a man looking at the stars
was of the greatest moment, for Abraham
had Indeed walked Into Persia looking at
the stars, and as he looked he thought of
God, and from this little seed of thought
the whole world had come to recognise
the truth of Uod and In the mind of man
a true conception has been formed and
the present great era begun.

ystem of F.dacatlon la Criticised by
Rev. Martin M. Bronaaeeet.
Rev. Martin M. Bronsgeest, pastor of
St. John's church, took for his text yes
terday morning the edict of the Council
of Haltimore, composed of the hierarchy
of the church In the United States, com
manding parents to send their children to
Catholic schools. Father Bronsgeest
spoke of the facilities afforded parents by
the parochial schools, to maintain which
over I20.W0.000 Is expended annually, and
continuing, cald In substance:
"It Is very strange that some Catholics
should go out of their way to give un
qualified praise to the public schools when
they are so severely criticised, as can be
seen by the papers, by their own most
ardent friends. But the church objects to
the public, schools not on account of what
they are, but on account of what they are
not; the church objects to them not for
what they teach, but for what they do not
teach. The church objects to them because
moral training In them la lacking; because
the knowledge gained In them is one-sided,
dealing only with the body and with this
life, and Ignoring the soul and the life to
come. What can be the result, other than
WTong Idea of life, to the youth educated
n an atmosphere of Irrellgion, and of edu
cation In which religion Is never mentioned?
he future men and women, so educated.
will look upon religion with Indifference
and be estranged from Almighty God.
"Moral training Is lacking In the public
schools; the whole work In them Is directed
to the education of the head. Some may-
deny this, and It Is true that In the public
schools there are appeals to the honor of
the pupils and to their sense of Justice to
others. But simply natural ethics, which
are good, but do not go far enough, are
taught. Such morality Is not strong enough
In Itself, for it Is from religion tbat mor
ality derives Its vital force, and morality
without religion amounts to little.
"When there Is no God and no considera
tion of a future life as a foundation for
morality, tho morality Is soon thrown aside
altogether. What would such morality do
for the child In time of temptation? 1
would not save Its possessor from evil, for
that can be done alone by religion, and by
education In which religion has a strong
influence. And If religion must stand out
side the school, If It may not enter the
school, there can be no real moral training
in It. The Council of Baltimore Insists
that children shall receive a religious edu
cation, cither st home or In school. And
simply sending a child to Sunday school
Is not giving It a religious education. It
must be taught religion day after day; it
must breathe an atmosphere of religion
and morality until they become a part of
tho child.
"Parents upon the last great Judgment
day will be asked by Almighty God to give
an account of the charges placed In their
hands. Our Lord has said that rather
than scandalise these little ones It were
better that a millstone be tied 'around a
man's neck and he be drowned In the bot
tom of the sea. What then will be the
answer of those parents who deny their
children the religious education to which
they have a right, of those parents who
hare allowed the souls of their ohildren
to be lost for lack of a religious educa
tion? But If parents would' give a favor
able answer they must give their children
a religious education, and to do so should
send them to Catholic schools. For God,
this Judge who Is a special friend of chil
dren, will not ask you whether you have
left to your children riches or influence,
but He will aak what became of the souls
of your children."

"The season for my business Is about
over,' said the non-explosive gasoline tab
let salesman, "and I am thinking of going
Into the show business. Hypnotism Is my
long suit, and, if I can get one of the
theaters to play me on a percentage basis,
we will make a nice thing out of It for
both of us. My specialty Is hypnotising
by long-distance telephone. Can't do that
very well In a theater, but when I do It
In a hotel It gives me a big advertisement.
"Say, I had a warm old experience In the
show business in this state once. That a
been a good many years ago, so I guess
it's outlawed now and It won't hurt to
tell It.
"There was a gang of us operating a min
strel show out In the western part of the
state. The towns In those days were small
and a long ways apart. The place at which
we were to show on this particular occasion
was a town adjoining a military post. There
was no hall big enough In the town to
show In so we engaged a big, vacant store
house at the post. A sort of stage waa
Improvised In the back end, with a tar
paulin for a curtain, and we used tomato
cans cut half In two lengthwise for foot
light shades, with candles for lights. Me
and my pard were already corked up for
the show and were selling and taking
tickets. The house was soon full to over
flowing, with about as tough a crowd of
miners, freighters and soldiers as could be
scared up. Me and my pard didn't go on
in the first part, so we were In no hurry
But the fellows on the stage didn't seem
to be in any hurry either. The house waa
full and It was long after curtain-raising
time and the footlights hadn't been lit and
the audience was getting Impatient. Finally
mo and my pard went back to the stage
and were astounded to find that the whole
caboodle of performers were gone. We
found a note under a piece of soap that was
used as a candlestick, that stated that the
boys were too drunk to play, and they had
all Jumped on board a train bound for
Omaha and. If we would hurry, we could
catch the second section of the train. Just
then we heard the train whistle up the
road and we had no other recourse but to
Climb out the back window and board it
as It slacked up at the quartermaster's
depot. What else could we do? Wretl, we
came on down to Omaha on that train,
leaving alt the show properties at the post.
"Five or six days afterward me and my
pard were attending a show at the old
Academy of Music here In Omaha, and
aw Adah Isaacs Menken play "Maxeppa."
Two fellowa were sitting right In front of
us and one of them was telling the other
about the devil of a time that happened
at a show several days before out In the
western part of the state. It was our min
strel show that didn't go off, that he waa
talking about. He said the audience stood
It for awhile and then sent a committee
up on the stage to see what was up. The
committee came back and reported that the
showmen had skipped and then there was
merry Jerusalem to pay. We were sort of
afraid that the fellow might recognise us
and didn't stay to see the "Maxeppa" per
formance out, but got a boat and rowed
over to the other side of the river and
hiked out for Council Bluffs. n
. "Say, if any of you fellows stand In with
any of the theater owners here and will
help ma get my hypnotic show on I'll di
vide the proceeds with you."
Joe Merryman, an oldtimer from Mc
Pherson county, was In Omaha Sunday and
was lamenting the disappearance of the
old pioneers of the Platte country) when
It took nerve to be a pioneer. " '
"One of the best and bravest men I ever
knew," he said, "was old Jack Morrow.
You've all heard of Jack Morrow's ranch.
It was one of the stopping places on the
overland trail In the old days, . and Jack
kept the best whlBky sold on the plains.
Fifty cents and a dollar a nip was the
price, according to the time' of the year.
He generally laid In a barrel about Christ
mas or New Year's, and every time he
sold a drink or a Jug out of It he would
fill the barrel up with water. So about
Thanksgiving time the liquor was a little
weak, and then's when you could get It for
60 cents a snort.
"Jack owned about everything In that
country and nearly everybody was in debt
to him. He was a generous creditor to any
one who showed a disposition to pay up,
but Lord help the fellow that tried to beat
him. I remember one fellow did try It
and Jack got out of patience with htm
entirely. The well at Jack's place had
got out of whack and so Jack persuaded
this debtor of his to go down and fix It
After the fellow got to the bottom Jack
pulled up the rope and bucket, and then
called down to the fellow that as soon as
he mado up his mind to pay him -he would
send the bucket down again. He kept the
fellow In that well nearly two days be
fore the chap agreed to give him a horse
to square the account. The fellow was
able enough to do it, but thought he could
beat Jack out of the bill. Jack got his
horse all right enough."
"There was a story going the rounds of
the newspapers here some time ago to the
effect that only one woman was ever
known to have been lynched by a mob In
the United States," said E. L. Helm of
Amboy last evening. "I do not remember
where that particular case of lynching hap
pened or when. But I do know that Ne
braska has to Its credit, or discredit, a
case of woman lynching. It happened at a
place called Spring ranch, east of Blue
Hill, along In the winter of 1885. The
woman lived with a tough character there
as her husband. Both of them came from
Texas, I believe, and they conducted
kind of a ranch. One or two young men
who had engaged to work for the couple
had mysteriously disappeared, and finally
the body of another hand of theirs was
found secreted In an old straw stack.
"A party of men from Blue Hill and el
where In that vicinity went out to the
ranch one night and, taking the man and
woman from their house, strung them both
up on the Spring Branch ridge bridge. The
two were left hanging there one or two
days.
"There was another strange lynching
pulled off there at Blue Hill some time
before that. The victim had been taken
down to Red Cloud for trial for some des
perate crime, and he was cleared. His at
torney was, as I remember, J. N. Rlckards,
After the trial the cleared prisoner went
back up to Blue Hill, accompanied by his
attorney and the sheriff of Webster county.
He was taken away from the officers and
the mob strung him up to a windmill tower
and left him. The sheriff and Rlckards
cut the fellow down a few minutes after
wards, and managed to resuscitate him
and got him away from there, and the fel
low was still living up to a few years ago.
"Blue Hill was a hot old proposition In
those days and woe be unto the show that
undertook to perform there that did not
come up to the Blue Hill standard of
cellence. One barnstorming troupe put In
uu pearance there and advertised, with
fUmlng posters. The night tbo show was
t uutue S ibcro was sums Uttle delay la
raising the curtain and a committee off
stalwart Blue Hlllers went up on the stage
nd urged Immediate action. The show
people were Indignant and refused to give
the performance because of the unwar
ranted Interference of the committee, and
the wind-up of the affair was that they
hod to refund the admission fees and were
Iven Just an hour to get out of town, and
they got."
"The coming autumn army maneuvers
t Fort Riley recalls the fact that there
was a notable character at that post a few
ears ago by the name of Mose Walters,"
said an old Junction City, Kan., resident
now sojourning at Omaha, at the Mer
chants last evening.
"Mose Walters built the big stone post
trader's store there a good many years ago
nd made a big fortune out of the venture.
He came there from Dodge City, where he
operated a saloon in the wild days of
Dodge City, and prior to that time ran a
similar concern nt Hays City, Kan. Some
f the biggest achievements of Wild
Bill (Hlckok) were at Hays City and he
nd Mose Walters were close friends for
a long time. Mose was even quicker with
gun than Wild BUI and It was a little
trouble that he and Bill had over the hit
ter's wanton killing of Ed. McCall that
eventually drove Wild Bill out of Kansas.
And Mose Walters was the party that
caused Bill to leave. He and Bill were
enemies ever afterwards and It was Wal
ters that subsequently staked Jack McCall,
Ed.'s brother, and started him to Dead
wood after BUI. Jack awore before he
left Kansas that he would kill Bill for the
murder of his brother and he kept his
word, shooting him, as you will remem
ber, while Bill was playing cards in a
Deadwood saloon. Walters has been dead
these many years, but the magnificent Sol
diers' club house at Fort Riley Is his mon
ument. It Is a big two-story stone struc
ture and Is one of the finest buildings at
the fort It cost about V0,000 to build It."
Program for the Formalities to He
Observed on the Occasion uf the
Theater's Dedication.
Some formality will attend the opening
of the new Krug theater this evening.
Mayor Moores lus been Invited to say a
few words in behalf of the city and Its
people, but It is not likely that his physi
cian will allow lilm to go out in the even
ing. In event of the mayor's Inability to
be present the opening talk will be made
by Harry B. Zlmman, .-president of the
council. Hon. John LctrWebster will speak
for the managers of the bouse, Hudson, Ju
dah, Stair A Havlln, to be followed by a
few words from Otis B. Thayer, the star
of "Sweet Clover," who will speak for the
people back of the scenes.
Indications are that the house will be
sold out entirely before time for ringing
up the curtain and the audience will not
only be very large, but representative. A
number of theater parties are booked for
the opening night. Manager Judah will be
present with a party of friends from Kan
sas City and It is probable that Manager
Stair will come in from the east in time
to be present at the opening.
Yesterday morning Resident Manager
Gonden put his corps of vshera through
a practical rehearsal, , so that confusion
may be avoided In seating the large audi
ence that will certainly be present tonight.

THE HRI.IAIII.K STOIt F.,
When the Issue of $70,000 overlap bond
were sold to Brandets & Sons of Omaha,
those having back salaries due felt that
they would receive their money not later
than September 1. This Is hardly probable
now. At a meeting of the council two
weeks ago Mr. Clark, representing the
Brandcis bank In Omaha, asked that the
council consent to a transfer of the sale
to W. J. Hayes & Sons of Cleveland, O.
Ho showed telegrams from these eastern
bankers offering to purchase the bonus and
also deposited with the city clerk, a certi
fied check for 13,000 signed by officers of the
Hayes bank. Mayor Kout.'ky did not like
the Idea of permitting this transfer, but
as the members of the council could see
nothing wrong In the transaction a reso
lution was passed permitting the transfer.
Immediately upon receipt ofi the advice
that the transfer had been made Hayes
& Sons wired tho city clerk for a complete
history of the bonds. This was forwarded
and the understanding was that the bonds 1
thould be accepted by September 1. After
the first history had been forwarded the
eastern bankers wanted still further In
formation. This was furnished. Now the
Hayes bank wants to know the names of
the city officials, when elected and how
long they have to serve. The buyers also
want to know the bonded debt of the city
and the amount levied for the present
fiscal year and also If any provision has
been mado to take up the bonds as they
come due. With the exception of the
names of all of the city officials and the
date of the expiration of their terms of
offices, the information in the letter re
ceived yesterday has been furnished.
Should the sale of these bonds fall at
this time it is more than likely that the
proposition will again be submitted at the
fall election. In case this Is done the or
dinance authorizing the bonds will be
changed so as to remove some of the ob-
ectionable features. Bankers ssy they
want a straight ten or twenty year bond.
This cannot be given, as the charter pro
vides for the live-year option. However,
this five-year option Is not as objection
able as the present ordinance, which makes
a provision for a sinking fund and the
taking up of one bond each year. Bond
buyers do not like this Idea and it Is
thought that this Is one of the reasons
for the bonds not having sold to better
advantage. The Brandels bank bought the
bonds at par. These bonds bear 6 per cent
interest.
Cavalry Troop Camp.
Arrangements are being made for the
South Omaha cavalry troop to go Into
camp at Fort Omaha on September 7 and
remain there until September 14. Five re
cruits have enlisted within the last few
weeks and an effort Is being made to se
cure more men In' order ' that the troop
can make a good showing when in camp.
Captain McCulloch and some of the troop
ers tried to get to York yesterday to visit
the camp there, but when they found that
the trains were from six to ten hours late
they gave up the Idea and returned home.
Shipping; Ice Sooth.
Last winter the local Ice dealers packed
an enormous quantity of Ice, but In spite
of the small demand for Ice this summer
the dealers say that there will be no sur
plus. This Is accounted for by reason of
the floods at Kansas City and St. Louis.
Ice Is being shipped almost dally from
Bouth Omaha to Kansas City and other
southern points. These shipments have
materially reduce the visible supply and
consequently the dealers assert that there
will be no surplus when the summer is over.

If you have a
dirty, shabby office
people think it is
your fault; it does not
occur to them that the
-janitor is careless, neglect'
f ul or has more to do than
can be done well.
In reality, it is your own
fault, because you can
move to the Bee Building,
where the janitor will keep
your office as clean and
neat as a Dutch kitchen.
