Divorce'1 was the subject of Hev. Father
Vlaekmore'a lecture Hunday evening at tit.
John's Collrglme church. The keynote of
the speaker's remarks wan "Whom Ood
hath Joined together let no man put
asunder."
Matrimony," mM Father Hlackmore,
1m the, origin and safeguard of the human
family, and the law of Christ places the
marriage tie beyond human nullification.
Multitudes look on marriage as a means
Ct sensual gratification or consider It from
St money standpoint. Hlxtory shows that
degeneracy in the Individual, generally
peaking, weakens the nation. The history
of Rome and Oreece will bear out this. In
those days It was man's prerogative to put
Ills wife sway by the mere scratch of a
tm, If he wus ho Inclined. Women were
then helpless and the system was sanc
tioned by some of the wisest men of the
'time.
"The Catholic church holds that mar
rlage Is a sacred and Indissoluble con
tract to bo broken only by the denth of
cither party. The Scriptures teach thut
the man who puts away his wife for adu!
tery and marries another, commits adul
tery; and h who marries her who Is put
away also commits adultery. The evange
list of old wrote the truth as revealed by
Christ, namely, that neither the husband
nor wife can remarry during the life of
the other. Some mnlntaln that adultery al
lows the Innocent party freedom to marry
again during the life of the guilty one.
The Catholic church does not hold to this
doctrine. Bt. Augustine, to whom I may
refer as an authority on this subject,
wrote: 'Adultery Is the only lawful cause
for which a man may put away his wife,
but during her Ufa he may not remarry.'
What of I'nhappy Couples.
" "What about unhappy couples? Must
they live together?' Is often asked. No;
1st them separate as the Scriptures lndli
cate. and then If It Is found that their un
happlness Is the result of their indiscre
tion or a hasty marriage, let them suffer
for their sins. Their sepomtlon does not
cancel the marriage bond. The Individual
must suffer for the universal good; the
innocent must suffer with the guilty.
"Shut out divorce and Its possibilities
and you minimise the evils that the possi
bilities of divorce engender; the number
of unhappy married couples will be re
duced. Admit divorce and you Increase
the dangers of discord and Infidelity, de
stroy the rights of property, Jeopardise the
welfare of children, lescen the dignity of
woman and open the gates to Innumerable
octal evils.
"Who shall stay this ever-Increasing can
cer on our national growth? Statistics
ahow the evil is growing without restraint.
What power have the multiplied Isms of
our Christian country to remedy the evil?
An honest application of the word of God,
of the tenchlngs of Christ, Is the only
remedy for this great social evil. The
Catholic church has dared and still dares
to proclaim to the Christian world the In
dissolubility of the marriage tie."
REV. J. K. HI M MO IS INSTALLED.
Raw Pastor of Kountse Formally In
docted Into Pnlplt.
The official Installation . of Rev. J. E.
glummon as pastor of the Kountis Mem
orial church took place at the services yes.
terdty morning. The charge to the pastor
was delivered by Rev. Luther P. IUdden
t Lincoln, western secretary of the Board
of Home Missions, and ths charge to the
congregation was delivered by Rev. J. F.
Belbert of North Flatte, president of the
Nebraska synod.
The regulation Installation ceremony
Was performed while the new pastor and
the church council stood at the altar.
During the delivery of his charge to the
pastor Rev. Mr. Ludden outlined the
duties of the pastor to his congregation
and also gave his opinion as to what con
stitutes a successful pastor. He chose for
his text, Ezeklel xxxlil;2. "Behold I have set
for thee a watchman upon the walls of
Zlon." Rev. Mr. Ludden said In part:
"A auccessful pastor must be a man
among men. He must first know himself,
and also his congregation. He must be a
praying man, and loyal to the city In
Which he Is located, as well as to the
state and government. He must have no
pets among his congregation; knowing all
alike, and must be with all In their sor
rows and Joys. Too many of our ministers
make the mistake of practising partiality,
Perhaps the greatest duty, however, which
a pastor owes to his people Is to practice
what he preaches. In return for all these
favors on the part of the pastor the con
gregation should not be lax In doing their
portion to preserve harmony at all times."
Rev. Mr, Belbert pointed out that the
members of ths church should give their
pastor their entire support and said that
they should not grow weary In affordln
such support at all times.
Rev. Mr. Ludden delivered the evening
sermon at Kountse Memorial church in
which he took up the course of modern
thought, which points toward evolution
Ills text was the first statement of the
Bible, "In the beginning Ood created the
4ioaven and the Earth."

ory Aaawer to It.
"Behold the Lamb of Ood That Taketh
Away the Bin's of the World." This was
the text from which Rev. Robert Yost, In
Bt Mary's Avenue Congregational church.
preached Sunday morning, a sermon on sin
and Its atonement.
. "A very morbid subject is sin." he said
"4 rt'tP I venture that there hasn't been a
thinking man In the world who has not
pussled himself about It. Whenever
think of sin a score of Questions come to
' my mind. There is no answer. The Bible
la the sanest of books, but it does not an
swer them. Jesus was the sanest of men
and He was a disappointing teacher, for
, He doesn't undertake to answer the ques
tlona
"Total depravity means that sin has
marched through all the kingdom of your
soul. Bin, the book says. Is an act and a
State, and sin Is self-registering. The old
Greeks and Romans had a sense of sin,
but they condoned theft and murder. We
must have a great conception of God to
have a great conception of sin. These old
people bad not much sense of God and ao
not much sense of sin.
"I ssk. what la sin? What Is the reason
of It T What the atonement? The book an
swers on almost every page, sometimes
direct, sometimes difficult, but always about
f a death. Paul preached Jesust Christ an
Him crucified to the Corinthians, siytnt
Christ gave Himself to cleanse us from all
tinrlghteoubnesa. Peter sa;s that He wa

good enough to die for our ulna, flnme peo
ple say that Ood would not send III" own
son to die for us that He would rot f :el

mothers feel enough to die for some littls
rlvlal thine for us."
DO SOT HEAR STILL, SMALL VOICE.
People Fall to Heed Ood and Fall
Into Sin.
nev A S. C. Clarke at Lowe Avenue Tres-
hyterlan church, chose for his sul-Ject,
John lv:. "My meat Is to do the will of
Him that sent Me, and to flnlsn 111s
work."
In our text today." said Rev. Mr.
Clarke, "we are given a look Into the very
heart of Christ. He lets us Into His con
fidence and allows us to see the Inner
secrets of His life.
Jesus was sitting on the well curb, urea
out. He did not seek any of the restora
tives which are used by people of the pres-
nt dav. but at the same time he was
uddenly restored. How? By rendering aid
to a poor soul.
The Catholic church has a service 01
the black veil, whereby a woman who
takes It Is shut out from the world. Some
neoule. do not look upon this service with
favor. A great many people consider the
act of becoming a Christian in much the
same light. They say it Is all right to be
a Christian, but not too much of a one.
Now I believe that way of looking at
the matter to be all wrong. Christ never
felt the truth as a burden upon Him. To
yield to God and do the will of God was
a Joy to Him. He was moved by a glad
and happy influence. Christ was not like
John the Baptist. John came feasting.
His meat was of the very poorest. The
Bon of Man came eating and drinking. He
never refused an Invitation out to dinner.
He wore clothing similar to that which
other men wore and watched the little
children playing In the street. He even
quoted their words when occasion offered
to prove his statements. His garments did
not proclaim Him religious.
The difficulty with some of us Is that
we are lopsided; we cannot get our per
spective right. Jesus puts us In the right
way of looking at -things when He says,
Take first the kingdom of God' and every
thing else will fall Into Us proper place.
You never find Jesus running to extremes.
He Is at all times natural. We should not
bo altogether conrerned with the God In
Heaven. We should be concerned with the
God on earth; the Ood within us. The
trouble Is we do not listen to that still.
small voice which tells us what Is right."
CALLS CHRISTIAN LIFE A RACE.
Dr. Watson Dram Lesson from Panl's
Epistle to Hebrews.
Rev. Dr. Watson, at McCabe Methodist
church yesterday, preached from Hebrews
xll:12. He said In part: "There Is no ex
perience In life socially so Illustrative of
the spiritual life as the race as It was un
derstood from the writer's standpoint. It
was by athletic men before assembled
multitudes In the coliseum of Rome,
where they were held, which could sent
87.000 spectators. The contestant hud a
goal to reach; be had first, however, to
prepare for the strain of the contest; ho
had to divest himself of cumbrous things,
to hold himself well In check to take ad
vantage of nil circumstances and while
striving to win the plaudits of the throng.
There was the higher Incentive and aim
of pleasing the emperor and receiving from
his august hands the trophy of the laurel
crown. Paul knew of all these conditions
and would Impress on the Christian that
his life was as a raoe. Sometimes the
victor failed again and again, but at last
he won. It takes self denial; It akes con
centration of thought; conservation of en
ergy and requires that we put off extra
weight and the sin that doth so easily
beset us. Worldllness the- minister In the
pulpit may not pander to worldly Inter
ests. Bo, too, the layman must lay aside
that which would hinder; Intoxication
swearing, white lies, temper, vanity, and
the racer must be faithful, for It may be
a long one. .
"The race Is not always to the swift.
Day by day - faithfully doing the right,
serving God In the smaller things f life,
as In the larger ones, advancing each set
ting sun that much nearer the end, where
may be heard the plaudits of victory,
Jesus, the beloved Master, ran the race
Himself and won a victory over death,
hell and the grave and stands ready to
greet every victor. He was buffeted and
betrayed and scourged, but He was faith
ful and the Father more than once ap
plauded Him and encouraged Him, and so
Jesus holds out the crown of life if we are
faithful to the end."
PREACHES OJf APOSTOLIC DOCTRINE
Rev. Mr. Osborn Dwells on Converts'
Reception Into Church.
At the Southwest Presbyterian church
Rev. Mr. Osborn, the pastor, preached on
"The Apostolic Doctrine," from the words,
"And they continued steadfast in the
apostle's doctrine and fellowship and
breaking of bread and prayer."
The sermon was about the baptism and
reception Into the church of 9.000 converts
This." said the minister, "tells of what
they did of their after life. They were not
recruits trom heathendom, for they were
mainly devout Jews come hither to learn
more of the new religion or to worship In
the old form. And It was important that
they know the new doctrine. It Is not
easy to learn as wonderfully strange and
comprehensive a doctrine In a day, and so
they studied with and under these twelve
unlettered fishermen whom the Holy Ghost
was enabling to boldly proclaim the great
truths taught by their great exemplar,
The breaking of bread was partaking of the
holy communion as ordained by Christ be-
fore His crucifixion, and they were Instant
In prayer, as becometh all sincere Chris
tian people, and so they learned the tenets
of the uew world-transforming belief that
many of the teachings of the Pharisees and
Badducees were but traditions, such as for
bidding to marry and agslnst the eating of
meats, tuch as even now is taught by a re
llgtous sect, when it Is expressly declared
that meats are for our use by God himself.
These disciples were witnesses that Jesus
had taught and practiced the forgiveness
of sin. that faith In Him was essential
that the scriptures were given by lnsnira
tlon and that repentance was tnsplratlve.
for there was coming certainly a day of
Judgment.

SPRING COMES UNDER CLOUD
0a Beaton Dawns with Bain and fiaw,
Chill Atmosphere.
WINTER QUITS AT SIX FIFTY-FOUR
Vernal Kqalnos, When San Crosses
the Equator, Making Day
and Night of Same
Deration,
Yesterday was the first day of spring
according to the calendar, but it Is doubtful
If many people realized It without being
reminded, for the weather suggested any
thing beside the glad springtime. But that
was the day of the vernal equinox, when
the sun passed through the equator at an
equinoctial point and made the day and
night of equal duration.
Old Father Time, whom the orator says
"holds his fierce career and pauses not like
other conquerors to muse upon the fearful
ruins he hath wrought," let drop his In
exorable scythe at precisely 6:M, or six
minutes before 7 o'clock, last evening and
severed winter from Its existence, usher
ing In, nominally at least, "the gayest sea
son of all the year," spring.
This Is the season, then, when the young
man's fancy "lightly turns to thoughts of
love," gorgeous waistcoats and the ruling
price of the Ice cream market; when his
sister overhauls her last year's openwork
stockings and decides she will make them
do or dye; spring, the Joyous season when
mamma's pin money goes for moth halls,
Willie's for base balls and papa's for high
balls; when the Tom and Jerry bowl Is
drained and put away on the dark shelf
and when "uncle" begins to compute In
terest on divers and sundry fur garments.
Not a Brlaht Advent.
The advent of spring Is not always, per
haps not generally, marked with mild and
pleasant weather, and In this respect Bun
day certainly was no exception to the rule.
for It was about as disagreeable a day as
could well be Imagined. Rain drizzled
down throughout the day and the atmos
phere was raw and penetrating, presenting
in all a dreary aspect Indeed. It might
have been mistaken for a cast-off winter
day, or perhaps it would have been un
pardonable to have Inferred that It was
winter's day of grief over Its enforced
termination! .
If It will be df any comfort or consola
tion to anyone he might as well be re
minded once more that Instead of dividing
the yeai equally the equinoxes cut the year
Into two unequal parts, making the time
from the vernal to the autumnal longer
than from the autumnal to the vernal
equinox. Or, the sun continues longer on
the northern than on the southern side of
the equator because It Is more distant from
the earth in summer on this side of the
globe than In winter and Its angular mo
tion In Its orbit consequently Is slower be
tween March and September than In the
other part of the year. In 1R80 this dif
ference amounted to seven days sixteen
hours and fifty-one minutes.
PLEADS AGAINST DRINKING
Father MeGovern I'raea Catholics to
Avoid Habit of Intern
temperance. Intemperance, the evil of wine rooms and
the especial Iniquity of saloons open Sun
day, were the subjects handled by Rev. P.
A. MeGovern, pastor of Bt. Phllomena's
cathedral. In his sermon Sunday morning.
He advocated total abstinence and urged
Catholics to stand for the strict enforce
ment of the laws, "using their influence
and their ballots If necessary." In part he
said:
'Do not Imagine that I think I am ad
dressing a congregation of drunkards. I
am speaking to the habitual drinkers, ths
persons who Indulge frequently during ths
day, and perhaps there are some of those
present. They are on a dangerous road
and their remedy is not to avoid drinking to
excess, but to avoid drinking at all.
"I hope the time soon will be here, as. In
deed, It seems to be approaching, when
there will be no position open for an In
temperate man. He will be compelled then
either to fritter away a useless existence In
slow starvation and penury or to take de
cisive means to bring about his reforma
tion. "I would say to all those who wish to
avoid the consequences of Intemperance to
avoid the habit of treating, which Is ad
mittedly a fruitful cause of much drunken
ness. What will the opinion of your friends
as to your liberality or your congeniality
count before the Judgment seat of God? t
urge you to shun saloons the destroyers
of souls and homes.
"It Is frequently said, to our reproach.
that a malorlty of saloon keepers are Cath
ollcs. It Is no doubt true that you would
f! nd In this ctty a large proportion of them
conducted by men bearing Irish Catholic
names, btit they are, for the most part,
renegades to their religion. It Is a pity
that when they changed their faith they
did flot change their names and save us
our shame.
"If saloons are bad enough, however.
doubly bad are those that have 'ladles' en
trances' 'devil's' entrances' they should be
called. They lead to wine rooms which are
veritable brothels, fit only for the Infernal
regions.
"The council of Baltimore went on record
as favoring the closing of saloons on Sun
day. It was considered that by so doing a
great cause of crime and sin and desecra
tion would he taken away. Here In Omaha
the law requires that saloons should be
closed on Sunday, and It seems to me that
where It Is a fact the law Is broken we, as
citizens and as Catholics, should do our
best to help enforce the salutary pro
visions of the law.
'We should use our Influence and our
ballots If necessary, Independent and re,
gardless of any partisan politics."
EXPECT NO LOCAL CHANGES
Railroad Men Anticipate No Disturb
ances Here from Appointment of
Jallns Krnttachnltt.
It Is not known locally what effect the
appointment of Julius Kruttschnitt. now
general manager of the fiouthern Pacific,
to the position of director of transporta
tlon of the Harrlraan lines will have upon
the affairs of the Union Pacific. It la not
believed, however, that It will result In
any changes In the officials of the com
pany.
The new position to which Mr. Krutt
schnitt has been appointed has been cre
ated for him, as there was at present no
such office In existence. It has been the
policy of Mr. Harriman to place men In
positions created to give them authority
over the various departments of the en
tire system In which he Is interested. J.
C. Btubbs now holds the position of traffic
director and Erastus Young that of gen
eral auditor of the Harriman system.
The office of Mr. Kruttschnitt will be In
Chicago. He recently made a trip to Now
York to consult with Mr. Harriman, but
on hla way home, while In Omaha, denied
that he had been called there on affairs of
any moment. Transportation officials of
the Union Pacific will, of course, now re
port to Mr. Kruttschnitt Instead of direct
to Mr. Harriman, as before.
Julius Kruttschnitt was born at New Or
leans, La., July to, 1864. snd entered the
railway service July 1. Wt From that date
to January, 1W0, he was engineer of ex
tension on Morgan's Louisiana Texas
railway. Afterwards he was roadmaster
of the same railway and later rose to the
position of chief engineer and superin
tendent. His rise In the railway world has
been steady and he has shown at all times
great ability In the railway field.
DEDICATE THEIR NEW HALL
Royal Achates Hold Formal Cere
monies la Building at Seven
teenth and Doaglas.
Notwithstanding the Inclement weather
there was a large attendance at Achates
hall In the Patterson block, Douglas and
Seventeenth streets, yesterday afternoon to
enjoy the ceremonies Incident to the dedi
cation of the new hall. The exercises were
conducted under the auspices of Royal
Oak lodge No. 200. Royal Achates, assisted
by Omaha lodge No. 1 and Success lodge
No. 13 of the same order.
The hall was very prettily decorated with
flags and flowers and festooned with the
Achates colors of purple and yellow. The
exercises comprised a literary and musical
program, which began with a piano solo
by Mrs. Burgess. Mr. B. F. Strawn, who
presided during the ceremonies and presi
dent of Royal Oak lodge, followed with a
brief address of welcome, after which came
the Invocation by Rev. T. J. Mackay. Fol
lowing the Invocation Rev. Mr. Mackay
delivered a brief address on the subject of
"Friendship."
Then came a pleasing season of music
by the Burton Mandolin club, W. C. Pike,
director. Mrs. Grlnnell, supreme secretary,
read an address prepared by Sovereign
Commanded J. C. Root of the Woodmen of
the World, which was highly complimentary
to the organization of Royal Achates. It
was Mr. Root's Intention to deliver the
address In person, but he was suddenly
called to Ohio to look after some leglsla-
lon now pending in the Ohio general as
sembly that needed his Immediate atten
tion. Supreme President Irving Q. Barlght of
the Royal Achates, delivered an address,
which was largely devoted to an eulogy of
Joseph Cullen Root as the founder of one
of the greatest fraternal organizations In
the country, and he spoke, very feelingly
of the assistance Mr. Root gave him In
the founding of the Royal Achates In this
city three and a half years ago.
The Eagles' quartet rendered three pleas
ing vocal selections. Miss Gertrude O'Con
nell sang a contralto solo and followed
with a second selection In response to an
enthusiastic encore.
"Fraternity" was the subject of an elo
quent address by Rev. G. Harry Schleh.
The mandolin c'luh gave a second numher
by special request, followed by a volun
tary piano solo by one of the women mem
bers, after which the exercises closed with
the benediction by Rev. Mr. Schleh.
OVERCOME BY : ESCAPING GAS
Sloox Falls Man Fonnd In His Hotel
L'nconaclona and Taken to
Hospital.
John Grlffen, a traveler for a real estate
firm at Bloux Falls, was found In an un
conscious condition In his room in the
Karbach hotel and the gas turned on. He
was taken to the Clarkson hospital, but up
to a late hour last night was still uncon
scious. Grlffen Is said to have been drink
ing on Saturday night and Is supposed to
have gone to the hotel early Sunday morn
ing, but was not seen by anyone in the
hotel. About 12 o'clock Sunday morning
a chambermaid s mailed escaping gas and
notified the clerk, who entered Grlffen' s
room and found the gas turned on. It
Is supposed the affair was purely an acci
dent and not done , with sutcidnl Intent,
as the gas was not turned on full. The
theory Is that after Grlffen had turned off
the gas he must - have In some manner
caught his sleeve in the main and thus
turned It on again... Grlffen Is an expe
rienced man of tha world and was not
likely to have blown out the gas.

After being a slave, fighting in the civil
war and reaching the age of 6fi, It seems
like the irony of fate that Jesse Mller,
colored, should not be permitted to enjoy
th rest of his days In peace. Mr. Mller
recently moved to Twenty-eighth avenue
and Dodge street, where he started a hand
laundry. It appears that he la a law
abiding citizen, anxious to maintain law
and order according to the light that has
been given him. But certain neighbors, It
Is stated, feel disponed to place broken
bottles and other obstacles In the way of
Miler's peace and happiness. Mller bore
the flings and spurs until patience ceased
to be a virtue, and then sought a Justice
court, where he filed a complaint against
Joseph Sypes and John Dean, whom. It Is
claimed, have been the moving spirits Ln
the alleged conspiracy against Miler's hap
piness. To Judge Rachman's Justice) ootirt did
Mller wend his way and take the neces
sary legal procedure to bring hla male
factors Into court and show cause why
he fMller) should not be allowed to exist
without the taunts of an unsympathetic
neighborhood. The case has been heard
In Justice Bachman's court with the result
that Sypea has been discharged, as It was
shown that ho was merely an Instrument
In the hands of Dean. The case has been
continued until next Saturday afternoon,
when Dean will have a further hearing.
Chicken In the Case.
According to some of the testimony of
fered by the nine witnesses subpoenaed,
there was a chicken ln the case. The
chicken was the property of Sypes and
was a respectable representative of that
man's feathered flock, so It was affirmed.
The hen would occasionally wander away
from the parental roof, but would In
variably return at a seasonable hour. Like
a good and honest hen It laid an egg
every day and thus discharged Its duty to
society. No particular fault was found in
the conduct of the hen; there was no effort
to besmirch her character, as it was shown
she went about her duty from day to day
In a quiet unassuming manner, conscious
of right and fearless of results.
A few days ago, according to the court
records, Mller, ln an unguarded moment.
drove the hen into his domain and "did
then and there unlawfully, maliciously and
feloniously kill and slay the hen" and
tossed the remains over Into the yard of
neighbor Sypes.-
This was a flagrant breach of etiquette
In the mind of Brer Sypes. He called his
neighbor. Dean, who concurred ln the
opinion . that such actions should be se
verely dealt with. Other neighbors mobil
ized suddenly around the 1-ody of the dead
chicken and a mass meeting was called.
Mller came out to see what the excitement
was. Dean then told Sypes, the owner
of the hen. that If he did not go and whip
Mller, he (Dean) would whip Sypes. Sypes,
It Is said, then offered to make a large
hole In the ground with Mller. who did
not think that would be nice, and went
In the house and -closed his door. This
closed the Incident for the time being.
All the parties concerned are colored.
