Very Interesting services signalized the
dedication of the McCabe Methodist Epis
copal church near the corner of Farnam
and Fortieth street yesterday morning.
Tha services were begun with ft very pleas
ing song service find the presence of Hlshop
l C. McCabe, after whom the church In
named, added special Interest to the event.
Others participating In the dedicatory serv
ices 'were Rev. Jerse W. Jennings, presid
ing .elder of the Omaha district, and Rev.
Thormie S. Watson, pastor of the church.
The church was originally known as the
West Omaha Methodist Kplncopal church,
and ww located at Thirty-seventh, and
Marry .streets. - About a year and a half
to the present site nenr Karnam and For
tieth streets was bought and the edifice
was removed from Its old locution to' this
latter point. The name of the church waa
changed In honor 6t HI hop McCabe and
upon Its dedication yesterday It enters
upon a new era of life and prosperity, free
from debt and with a bright future as
sured. . The sum of 1100, necessary for
grading down the lot from Farnam to
Harney street, was subscribed by the con
gregation, Bishop McCabe being a liberal
contributor. '
Riahnp Met a be Preaches.
The dedicatory sermon waa preached by
Hlnhop McCabe, who took for his Irit
Is.iluh 46:2: "I will go before thee, and
make the crooked places straight; I will
break In pieces the gates of brans, and cut
aKunder the bars of Iron." He said in part:
"I like to see churches like this planted
in this city. It Is bound to grow and in
time you will build a larger church and
be able to pay for It, I can remember
when there were but fifty Methodist
churches In Iowa. But there are now
more Methodist churches in that state than
all other denomination combined. I can
remember, too, when there were but
twenty-five Methodist churches in Kansas,
where , there are now four great con
ferences - and l.JuO.OOO members and
the proportionate growth In Nebraska
ha been the same. And 'so Is our church
growing throughout the world.
"The words of my text is the message
ent by Ood to Cyrus, the Persian king.
Cyrus was a believer In religious liberty,
and that waa why Ood sent this message
to him. Religious persecution prevails to
ds y. as Is shown by the atrocities com
mitted In Russia and Macedonia. The time
haa not even yet come when all men may
worship Uod according to the dictates of
their own conscience. I would like to
see the United States and England wnite
In the great cause of compelling the recog
nition of religious freedom to all man
kind." ...
Bishop McCabe told of a recent meeting
with President Dlas of Mexico and the
desire of President tMag - to extend the
largest possible liberty to church and edu
cational Interest in that republic. He
desired the United States to send Just as
many preachera and teachers aa possible
to Mexico.
At the conclusion of the service Bishop
McCabe sang "Lead Kindly Light" In hla
characteristically Impressive manner.

"What a wonder la woman' work and
what cruel treatment she haa received at
the hands of her master, man." aald Blah
op J. W. Hamilton of Chicago, who made
the addreaa at the consecration of three
deaeoneaaea at the Flret Methodist , church
yesterday afternoon. The congregation waa
large and followed the ceremonies with in
terest. ...
, "Woman" life In the world has been a
tragedy,?, continued the bishop. "Man al
ways haa been -so. arrogant and presump.
ttve In hla assumption of authority that
ha haa taken It for granted, because he
found a text In. scripture that seemed to
sanction the ruling of his own wife, he had
the right to rule over the whole sex. What
a miraculous revelation to woman haa
been Christianity. Little wonder that aha
should . be last at tha cross and first at
the sepulchre.
."My own life has been a revolt against
the restraint of womankind. It la simply
paganism darkening the hope and destroy
ing tha proapoct of half the world.. Every,
where ..there haa been an under estimate
of woman's opportunity, woman's service
and woman's Influence In the christian
'church., . It baa been the spirit of pagan
Ism that has controlled tha treatment of
woman In all of our churches." '
Bishop McCabe had charge of the ser
vices which were simple. The women ad
mitted aa deaeoneaaea were Emma V.
Newberry. Lulu M. MllUman and Jane M.
Perkins. Mrs. Perkins Is the visiting dea
coness pf the First church, while the two
others are connected with the hospital

altruism or sacrifice, the resurrection of
Christ and the hereafter. These corner
battlements. It was held, were monuments
of the church and of Christ's coming
which would last forever.
The death and resurrection of Christ,
It was urged, assured those who believed
in Him and had been saved, a victory
over death. The fact that Ood has done
so much for man, was held to be ample
grounds on which to base a steadfast be
lief that Christ had not created man Just
for this world alone, but that He had a
higher life for man In the hereafter. If
It should be assured that Ood had not
created man for such an end, then. It waa
argued, there Is an apology due from the
Maker of the universe, for the hopes of
eternal life which have sustained thousands
upon thosands of His creatures below,
should not be permitted to continue if
they have hope of this life only.
The unity of the Bible was emphasized
In detail by Bishop Fowler. The fact
that science, which at the first bent all
Its energies toward the refutation of the
Bible, had at laat been forced to the con
clusion that the Bible waa the greatest
book of all time, waa regarded as ample
evidence of the fact that the Bible was
inspired and that through It Ood had spo
ken to Ills creatures below.
Bishop Fowler. In his early ministry,
was troubled over the fact that geology,
which was then in Its Inception, did not
agree with some portions of the Bible.
The speaker thought that If God had omit
ted these portions of the Bible which
seemed to differ from the findings of the
geo:ogists, that It would have been a much
better and more forceful book. Later when
Bishop Fowler found that the Bible bus
tHlned all' that the geologists afterwards
found to be the truth, he waa then firmly
convinced that Ood knew what He was
doing when He made this great book.
DEAF AD Dt'MB HOLD SERVICE.
Motes Attend Services Held by Rev.
James H. Clond. v
An unusual audience gathered yesterday
afternoon in fhe Uttlo Episcopal Mission of
St. Andrew at Forty-first and Charles
streets, an audience perhaps more united
by mutual bonds than any other gathered
on the Sabbath, and one the members of
which were more Isolated to the dally life
about them than Is the newest immigrant
from the heart of Austria. They were the
deaf and dumb, drawn together by the com
ing of the general missionary of the church
to the western and northwestern dioceses
Rev. James H. Cloud, minister of St.
Thomas' mission for the deaf In St. Louis.
Rev. Mr. Cloud, who is himself of the un
fortunate class to which he ministers, held
services Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing at the Institution.
Yesterday afternoon's service was not
confined to the few offhand remarks, but
Included the complete prayera of the
church, the congregation Joining earnestly.
It was not a quiet congregation, but one
undisturbed.
A baby wailed appeallngly through the
sermon and none noticed except Its mother,
who vainly tried to quiet It. Two little
boys, not the victims of heredity, conversed
audibly on work -a -day topics, chiefly a
toy wagon It aeemed, hut they continued
unreproved by their father, and drew never
a frown such as greets an over-loud whis
per In a crowd with ears to hear. In the
back 'pews where the congregation could
not see the mobile handa of the minister
as he passed from point to application,
showed the uneasiness teen at the edge of
a crowd where the speaker's voice cannot
reach, and Irrelevant remarks passed from
finger to finger. But when the contribu
tion to the work was -taken almost every
one gave.' and If money talks, aa people
have been told some thousand times, the
congregation was more fluent than many a
church gathering among the folk of the
Ave senses.
Rev. Mr- Cloud preached on the subject
of forgiveness, using a vehicle, the chap
ter of St. Matthew dealing with the un
merciful servant. He ahowed that Chris
tianity was the gospel of forgiveness,
while there was none of the Quality of
mercy In other religions, simply penalties
and rewards. The same was true of na
ture, no forgiveness, but reward and pen
alty. So also of human law, punishment
of acquittal and In conscience, there was
no forgiveness, it continued to protest
until It died. Forgiveness was the rudi
ment of Christianity.
BEARING OF THE BURDENS
Rev. Dr. Hothear of Brooklyn Eluci
dates Seemingly Conflicting
Passages.
The services at Trinity Methodist church
Sunday evening conslHted of a talk by
Mr. McDonald, a layman of Brooklyn,
N. Y. ; fine singing by the choir; a splen
did contralto solo, "The Ninety and Nine,"
by Miss Nellie Tlndall; a solo, "I Shall Be
Satisfied," by the pastor, Pr. Tlndall, who
goea shortly to Montana, and a brilliant
sermon on "Christian Missions" by Rev.
Dr. Hoshear of Brooklyn, N. T. His text
was from the two contradictory verses.
'Bear ye one another's burthen, and so
fulfill the law of Christ," and "Every man
shall bear his own burthen."
In the present age not the law of sur
vival of the fittest obtains, but that of
mutual aid la now the rule. The speaker
showed that oftenest bearing one'a own
burthen was putting one's shoulder under
the great burthen of another, and thla la
the foundation of Christian missions, of
the great work of building up the kingdom
of Christ in other lands. Christianity is
larger than any dogma or theory ever in
vented or expressed. The dogmatic spirit
Is largely formed outside of Christianity.
No man can Justly claim to have a mo
nopoly of divine revelation or divine fel
lowship, nor is Christianity fulse humility;
It is a vital force, a living power, a mighty
principle, making mankind live higher,
holler, better lives. It Is true that every
step of our progress, the uplifting of man
hood, the betterment of humanity is due
to the religion of Jesus Christ. This Is the
cause of the Inquiry of former heathen
landa for our machinery, our products.
our sources of advancement. They are
anxious to learn the causes of our pros
perity and to appropriate them. Really,
It would pay our nation to send our mis-
aionarlea to other lands by the thousand
from a utilitarian point of view alone.
Bee what the blowing up of a battleship
In Cuba did for progress! We now send
our school missionaries there, who are
paving the way for a higher, even a Chris
tian civilization. The doors of the world
are opening wide. Ict ua enter In with
seal and the true spirit of Christ, and be
forward to help humanity to Its highest
stage, even aa It Is now growing grander
In Its philanthropy and morality. Let tha
spirit of helpfulness pervade our lives,
and so may the world the sooner be near
to Christ."

"The secret of getting a good pension lies
wholly in the ability of the claimant get
ting In the right kind of evidence," said
Major MacNicol, a former member of the
Nebraska legislature. "Aa an evidence of
this fact I knew of a character In Iowa
by the name of OsUorn, who was an expert
on evidence.
"I waa a newcomer in the town and
Osborn lived a mile or two out of town.
One day he came to me and asked me to
go out and help him roof a kitchen. Being
out of work at the time I readily accepted
the Job. I had hardly got to work on the
roof when Oa horn's wife came tearing out
of the kitchen and told me that her hus
band was having a fit down near the wood
pile. I could see the wood pile from my
perch on the roof and sure enough the man
waa In a fit and kicking around there like
a freshly beheaded chicken. I started to
climb down to help him, but his wife said
It was not necessary, as he would soon be
over it. I climbed down anyhow and went
to Osborn. He was on his feet before I
reached him and though looking a little
warm, did not seem to suffer much from
his fit. He merely asked me If I had seen
him In the fit
"Well, a few days afterwards Osbofn
came to me with an elaborately prepared
affidavit for me to sign, which stated that
I had seen him In the fit. I signed It all
right. Several days afterwards he had
another fit in town, but was particularly
careful to have three or four good cltlsens
see the performance, and then he plied
them for affidavits, which, of course, he
got. Well, the result was that he Is now
drawing a snug pension for epilepsy and
heart disease and ha got It, too, on those
very affidavits."
John Dale, a former Sioux Falls resident,
is prolific of political experiences In that
state, and tells one that happened during
a convention held In a country town In
that state a few years ago.
"It waa a legislative convention, and the
hall, a rather frail affair, was crowded to
the doors," says Dale. "During the height
of the proceedings a nasty looking storm
came up from the southwest and fhe build
ing began shaking rather ominously. The
proceedings were hurried through with and
the storm became more and more threaten
ing. Finally the chairman announced that
the hall had better be vacated at once and
suiting the action to the word, he climbed
out the back window. Scarcely had the
hall been emptied when the building col
lapsed. The following day an effort was
made to find some of the official records
of the convention, and the only thing that
was recovered was the last page of the
secretary's minutes. The fragment was
badly torn and nearly obliterated by the
rain and wind, but enough was made out
that read:
" 'On motion of the house the convention
adjourned.' "
' "There was a chap living In our old
neighborhood In Illinois some years ago,"
said Tom Waddell of Olney, III., "who was
about; aa vain aa they make them. We
were a farming community, and Dick Ben
ton, that was the chap's name, had spent
a term at Central academy and conse
quently ha was the Beau Brummel of that
section. He courted and married the pretti
est girl In our neighborhood, and we were
all attending the reception or 'in fair,' they
called it In those days, at the home of the
bride. Some time before this some of the
boys had organised a brass , band, and
Benton somehow or other got the Idea Into
his head that the band was coming '.o
serenade him that night. There waa a
pasture across the road from where the
Infalr was being held and In It was a young
bull. Along about the height of the Infalr
proceedings the bull got out of the pasture
and came up toward the house and was
mooing so that he could be heard In, the
house. Benton at once made up hla mind
that It waa the band coming for the sere
nade, so he and his bride went out on the
porch to meet the boys and give them a
little speech, taking with them a tray of
cake and other goodies as a treat He
waited there half an hour for the band to
appear and finally a committee was sent
out to find the band and only succeeded In
discovering the young bull as the cause of
all the disturbance.
"I was running a newspaper out In
western Nebraska a few years ago," said
Bob High of Lincoln, "and one day an old
fellow came Into the office with a hand
anm mid-headed cane, and told me a very
pretty story about the cane being presented
to him by his neignoors upon nis otpinuro
from his old home to lake up his residence
In town. I wrote the story up In fine
shape, and the old fellow bought a whole
raft of the papers.
"A week or ten days later some fellows
from hla old neighborhood came Into the
office and began guying mo for printing
the cape story, and asserted that It waa
a hoax all through. I Investigated the
matter and learned that I had been badly
strung by the old cuss. The facts of the
rase were that the night before the old
chap's departure he had given a supper at
his house and had tho cane there and
engaged one t hla children to go around
through the crcerd and try and get them
to subscribe for the cane to present to his
pa. Well, they didn't all subscribe, though
some of them gave a quarter for the pur
pose. Aa the old man couldn't ralae enough
to pay for the cane he Just rented it for a
few days and then worked his old presents,
tlon story off on me. The Jeweler from
whom he rented it said It waa only a 5
cane anyhow, but the old fellow paid him
half a dollar for the rental of it."

Dockatader's Minstrels at tho Boyd.
About all that waa promised for Lew
Dockstader's revival of minstrelsy was re
deemed at the Boyd yesterday. It Is a
riot of color and music, with enough of
negro comedy Interspersed between the
spectacles and minstrel numbers to war
rant the appellation of "negro." Mr. Dock
stader has certainly provided an artistic
setting for his several numbers, for no
prettier picture was ever presented on
the stage at the Boyd than the first part
of his present entertainment. It is artistic
In every detail and far surpasses any
thing of the kind In the history of that
class of entertainment And as the settings,
so the rest of the entertainment Every
feature has been lavishly provided for and
the several divisions of the program aro
In the care of the stars of the profession.
Mr. Dockstader does no undertake to
give the whole show to the first part and
to the olio. In the latter he comes on first
In an airship and later in an automobile
of hla own device, which acts Just as
you think wouldn't His monologue Is
like reading one of the last editions of
the local papers; he gives the latest Omaha
news right up to the hour of going to
press. Carroll Johnson, graceful and well
dressed, and Nell O'Brien, a prince among
black-face comedians, furnish much fun,
and Mr. Johnson dances alone and In com
pany with a troupe of youngsters, having
revived a feature of the minstrel show
of twenty-flve years ago, "the essence of
Old Virginia." Manuel Romaln sings a
couple of ballads Just as he has always
sung in Omaha, In faultless style, and
Harry Ellis, John W. Adams and James B.
Bradley also contribute solos well worth
listening to.
Several new and really beautiful light
ing effects are Introduced, two very pretty
living tableaux, closing the show, one "The
Love Lorn Watermelon" and the other
"The Birth of the Sun Flower." Manuel
Romain sings the songs, and in the finale
of the sunflower scene has the assistance
of the entire company. Another of the
features is the "Moonlight on the Mis
sissippi Scene." , Anyone who ever saw a
Mississippi steamboat landing will verify
the accuracy of the presentation. The boy
hussar band Is a splendid musical organ
isation and its part of the program was
for from the least enjoyable.
Two large audiences attended the per
formances, given yesterday. The engage
ment closes with a performance this even
ing.

It is to laugh at the Creighton-Orpheum
this week. With two exceptions, the acts
are all of the mirth-provoking order, and
better than that the laughter is engen

has been here this season Is HI nee and

funny and Hlhes does bis best which keeps
the game going at top speed. Miss Reming

Is simply a signal for what Is to follow, a
lot of bright and witty talk with Hlnes as

Cold wave for Omaha and Nebraska first
of the season.
That was the dreary tidings Local
weather Forecaster Welsh conveyeti yes
terday, when at 11 a. m. he had hoisted
his white flag with a black Interior. Last
night at :1S the local weather bureau Im
parted later Information, which was a
confirmation of that given out earlier In
the day, so that If the people of this sec
tion are not already aware of it they may
now understand that n cold wave is about
to sweep over them.
"The cold wave comes from the north
west, where some rigorous weather Is now
being felt," said Mr. Welsh, "and while we
will have a much lower temperature here
by morning, I do not look for the severe
weather until night by which time I think
It will range about 11 or 15 above sero."
This Is the first cold wsve for this sec
tion this season. It brings one. comforting
thought that It will be of brief duration.
It is to extend as far east aa the Missis
sippi river by night. The local weather
bureau gives out the Information that the
origin of the wave Is In Montana, western
Wyoming and northern Utah, where some
light snows have fallen.
Last night at Havre, Mont., the ther
mometer was down to t below xero, this
being the minimum reported. Zero weather
was general In Montana and along the
line of the cold wave eastward there was
a decided decline in the mercury. Omaha's
thermometer varied but little yesterday,
being at about 34 In the morning and prac
tically the same at night, but a sharp wind
was prevailing last night, which foretold
what was coming. Mr. Welsh predicted
a fall of perhaps 20 or SO degrees by to
night. "I think we will escape severe weather
today," said Mr. Welsh. I'The Indications
are that the worst will not strike us until
night. Aa to snow. I think we shall not
need to expect much, scarcely any except
flurries until tonight and then perhaps only
a light one. Indications are not for a con
tinued siege of cold weather now."
The street railway company began to
heed the approach of winter yesterday by
having their cars equipped with the regu
lar heaters. Of course It ia not fair to
put up the stove and build the fire the
same day, so the house warmings may be
expected today.
