IUv. C. H. French ,resiien. of the Hu
ron (8. D.) ,sbyterlan college, occupied
tho lul)lt .at the First Presbyterian
church yesterday morning, and Hpoks from
Klrnt Corinthians. 1:18 "For the preaching
of the cross la to them that perish foolish
ness; but unto na which are saved it la
the power of Uod." Dr. French aaid, In
part:
"There In no power In nature but the
power of Ool. Man's power has lis best Il
lustration In the almost Indestructible pyra
mids of Kfc-ypt. The power of Ood is
shown In thi universe, Inconceivable and
indestructible. 1 can picture no creator
manifestation of power than the Almighty
Cod silting on His throne In heaven and
extending His sceptre over the universe.
The heavens decjare the glory of Ood and
the Armament showeth Ills handiwork. God
manifests His power when all things are
ready.
"The component parts of dynamite are
simple In themselves and harmless, but
combined they possess a mighty power.
Every atom and element Is doing Just what
Ood intended. This great Impersonal world
lifts no will of Its own that It can set up
against Uod. It was the power of Ood
thnt let I'eter walk upon the water. It
tens ths power of God that was developed
through Christ to save the world. The an
gels came to Jesus and gave Him the power
to break the bonds of death.
"It Is not promised to us that we should
understand everything. If we may believe
that God Is kind, we may become strong
to beur our burdens nnd do our work.
When Peter knew his master's will he was
given a special power by the endless power
of God. It Is by this power that we over
come tho enemy of sin, and thus He giveth
us tho victory."

Common ttrror of Mankind, Baya Rer.
J. E. Hmnmon,
Rev. John Everett Hummon of the
Kountze Memorial Lutheran church,
rrc.Hched yesterday morning from Isaiah
V:l-6. the parable of the vineyard.
"The parable," said the .pastor, "repre
sents Jerusalem and the people whom God
had chosen for Himself. He had surrounded
them wits every protection, with every
good thing. They -were set in a land of
plenty, a land of corn nnd wine, wheat
nnd barley, a land of brooks and streams.
God had given them all they desired to
eat and drink, and had provided for them,
even given a government. God had a
right to expect something from them as an
expression of gratitude. He had a right
to expect vines and fruits. Instead of
fruits, Instead of a morat people, pure and
strong, behold the poison berry. This Is
wha: He received Ingratitude.
"We are living on tho most frultfut conti
nent of the world. Our land is good, and
when we contemplate the wonderful re
sources of thl3 nation we cannot but feel
that If wo wore God's favorites He could
not have been more kind or more generous,
i Our vineyard is flowing with wine and
' honey a nation bprn of the gospel, the
recipient of more blessings than have fallen
to any nation. What is God receiving?
When He strives at His vineyard he finds
wild grnpes, The greed for gain, the op
prcsslon of msui. the great sin of Intem
peranca that Is drawing thousands down
thus are the marks of ingratitude. In
, gratitude Is an Inborn element, and It will
always he na long as we have the element
of sin in us, Only as we become perfect
through religion do we become rid of the
' aln of Ingratitude.'
Ths eauao of so many staying away from
church received some attention.
"Some say away because of th
preucher," continued the pastor; "some be
cause of the choir, some because of the
lack of sociability on the part of the con
. gregatlon. but the real reason is because
of Bin. They do not want to hear tho
things they call pleasure condemned as
Bin. They cannot Bee the Christian church,
though It is set on a hill.
('ONIEM9 THE MQIOH HAFFIC
Dr. Claaell Says All Saloons Are Crime
Prodncera. '
The presence of saloons in Omaha was
depreeuted by Trr. C. C. Clssell of tho
Hanscom Pwk Methodist Episcopal church
at the First Baptist church Inst night.
All of the places where Intoxicating liquors
are sold were characterized as crime-breeding
institutions that are inimical to good
government. Dr. Clssell took as a theme
the Biblical declaration that "Wine is a
mocker."
"I con do as I please tonight," said- the
.minister in opening his sermon, "unless
I run up against some of the deacons and
elders. 'Wine is a mocker.' That Baying
in tho Bible is backed up by facts and by
oiatice. The latter has demonstrated it.
"Only a short time ago a peuccable cltl
son wae shot down by one of a drunken
crowd that was tr espousing on his prop
erty. The police were congratulated upon
their astutenees in catching the guilty
man. . His love lor his little girl caused
hint to b taken into custody, however, and
wine, the mocker, caimed him to do the
deed. This uuin would not have committed
that crime hud It not been for alcohol.
"The pol'ce niado no attempt to find out
where he got the stuff that made a demon
of him. That guilty man Is still selling
liquor ovar the bar. He should be stopped
from doing so.
"There are over 250 rum-selling places In
Omaha and they are all crlmo-producers.
Our civilisation nover will be complete
until they are all suppressed."
It Is expected that the pulpit will be
occupied next Sunday by tho regular pas.

fllRIT,S rHIM)OPHY IS II.AI
Simple Enough for All. Says Her. 9. D.
Dutcher.
Notwithstanding the humidity a large
congregation assembled In the First Chris
tian church, Seventeenth and Douglas
streets, yesterday morning to hear Rev.
S. D. Dutcher speak. "Following Christ"
was the theme.
"Jesus lo-ed the apostles," declared the
speaker. "He saw Into their hearts and
knew how enduring and loyal they were
to Him. Even when some of them were
sore driven iand became skeptical, Jesus
came to them and they were strength
ened. "When hope Is gone from us. Christian
life helps and uplifts us. You do not
have to wait for that time, however.
Young men who nre kingly and young
women who are queenly can attain a godly
life. Do not wait untlj some "dear friend
gives himself up to God before you do
so yourself. Do so now. Be fearless and
Independent in the matter. Ood Judges
singly and not Jointly. '
"Plato and Socrates were great teachers
of Christianity, but the common people
could not understand thetr religious phi
losophy. What Christ tuught can be under
stood by the simplest mind. Everybody
cun understand God and His goodness.
"All Christ says is 'Follow Me and live
right.' That Is all you have to do. Those
who reject the Lord are on the wrong
side of the question." ,
In conclusion, the speaker deplored the
commercialism that governs the world in
the present age and hoped that It would
soon give way to the idea of brotherly
love that Is taught by God.
50 GOODXEM , WITHOIT CHRIST
Life Not Noble I'nlrsa Based oa Divine
Doctrine.
Rev. George L. White, a young minister
from Harvey, 111., preached In Immanucl
Baptist church Sunday. He is a candidate
for the pulpit of that church, Dr. ,R. Kerr
Eccles having sent in his resignation.
Fairly large audiences heard him morning
and evening. His subject In the morning
was "A Robe of Righteousness,"
"It Is being more clearly understood by
the world every day that life cannot be
made good and beautiful and noble without
the applications of the doctrlnb of Christ.
Verily, the man who says there is no God
is a fool, for all that Is desirable and
lovely in this Hfe will be lost to him unless
he obeys that God he Ignores. i
"Life may be likened to a loom. The
warp is the threads God has provided for
our help; the woof the threads we are to
create ourselves. The cloth produced Is
to make the robe by which we are to
clothe ourselves in this life and the next.
We cannot stop weaving, will what we
may. Our lives go on ceaslessly and are
admirable or hateful, according to the way.
we follow the pattern the life of Christ.
"We must keep our eyes constantly on
this pattern or we cannot weave aright.
No man can make his life as God desires
unless he keeps the Master constantly In
sight. The contemplation of this beautiful
life is not only a model, it is an inspiration
to the weaver."
MILLION ACRESJN ONE YEAR
Rate at Which t'nlon Parlfle Is Sell
Ins; Its Land In the
West,
A new map, showing the Union Pacific
lands in Colorado, has just been Issued
by the company. The map Is one of a set
published for the convenience ofK settlers
and speculators who are taking up lands
in this and the adjoining states along the
lines of the mad. The company has been
selling about 1.000,000 acres a year and dur
ing the past twelve months has disposed of
1,14,736 acres of choice ranch land.
The purchasers come from various parts
of the country, covering a territory extend
ing from Pennsylvania to Colorado and
from Minnesota to Kansas. At this season
of the year sales drop off, owing largely to
the fact that the farming classes are busy
with their crops and are not looking
around. Some big sales have been made
recently, however. One of these is a tract
of 24,000 acres to E. B. Russell, an eastern
speculator. Another big sale made re
cently Is that to Morris Workman, of
Tracy, Minn. The tract embraces 7,000
acres and will be used for ranching. Both
tracts are located in Nebraska. The ma
jority of the sales this year have been in
eastern Colorado.
James H. Norrlsk, of Omaha, has bought
six sections of ranch land In Cheyenne
county, Nebraska, and other Omaha peo
ple have made smaller purchases in the
western part of the state. About 40,000
acres have been disposed of the last month
to eastern settlers and speculators in Ne
braska, Wyoming and Colorado.

PRINCELY TRAIN OF KNIGHTS
8 pecial Which Carrie Chicago Command-
ery It Elaborate. Affair.
PERSONAL FRIEND OF KING EDWARD GOES
General Joha C. Smith Moat Dla-
tlagnlsbed of the Many ProanU
aent Templara Who Go to
the Conclave.
One of the most princely Knights Tem
plar trains that has passed through Omaha
for the conclave In Ban Frsneisco went
west yesterday afternoon at 3:15 with Chi
cago commandury on board. The train,
which was the first to arrive in the after
noon, reached Omaha over the Northwest
ern at 1:35. There were four new sleepers
which were used for the first time on this
trip. Nothing In the way of conveniences
apparently has been omitted in fitting up
the coaches. The forward car had a bar
ber shop, and there were elegant porcelain
tubs, so that the man who starts from
Chicago for an overland trip may wake up
at the terminal point with a clean-shaven
face and a bath. A graphophone provided
muslo for the party on the way, while
the buffet car was stocked with crates of
oranges, plenty of cigars and other good
things. There were several brands of the
latter.
Forty women were in the party, which
numbered 125, and each knight has the
reputation of being more or less promi
nently identified in politics. Inspector of
Police John Wheeler was a member of the
party, and the eminent sir is W.
B. Peavy, a representative of the
Standard Oil company. The organi
sation Is one of the wealthiest of
Illinois. While most of the knights and
women took a trip about the city, some of
them remained to write letters, the coaches
being supplied with secretaries. The new
sleepers are the Calapan, Guanlca, Mln
danas and the Fuedoa.
Train of Mixed Delegations.
Following this train, at 1:69, was a spe
cial with a mixed delegation. One car was
occupied by the Hanselmann commandery,
which captured the fourth prize at the
Louisville contest three years ago. Ander
son commandery of Indiana, Muncte com
mandery of Muncle, Ind., Garfield com
mandery of Washington Court House, Ind.,
and .Kanawha commandery No. 4 of
Charleston, W. Va., made up this special,
which had seven coaches.
One of the most prominent figures In the
party was Generalissimo George A. Wtltse
of Cincinnati, who had been named Ad
miral Dewey by the knights on the train,
owing to tho striking resemblance he bears
to the famous naval hero. One of the
most traveled knights In the party was
S. E. Williams of Jeyerson, O. He shows
with much pride a handsome badge of his
commandery, which he has worn at four
teen conclaves. He was accompanied by
his wife, and remained over night in
Omaha.
Mast Distinguished Knight.
The most distinguished knight to arrive
in Omaha during the forenoon came In
over the Rock Island with one of the
Chicago commanderles. This was General
John C. Smith. He is a personal friend of
Edward, king of England, and it was
through his efforts that Great Britain's
monarch is sending a special delegation to
San Francisco to represent him at the
twenty-ninth triennial conclave. When
the English party reached -Chicago the
members were entertained by General
Smith at his home. In the party was
Earl Eustice, grand master of the grand
priority of England. Perhaps not a peer
of England stands closer to the king. It
was expected that the royal party would
pass through Omaha, but the original plans
were changed.
. General Smith is a member of the grand
commandory, which was on board the
morning train. He said that during the
stay at Chicago the members of the royal
party were initiated into the Mystlo Shrine
and they assured the Americans that the
order would be Introduce I in England. The
social standing of the visitors will give a
prestige to the lodge which is rather flat
tering to the American members.
MeinorUl to the King.
San Francisco is preparing a memorial
which the English visitors will take back
with them as a souvenir to King Edward
of the conclave. In design and workman
ship the gift, it is said, Will be elaborate,
while expense has not been considered in
its manufacture. It is the wish of the
conclave not only to give proper expression
of its appreciation of the honor conferred
by the British monarch, but to acknowl
edge in a fitting way the visit of the high
est Masonic body that has ever crossed the
ocean to attend a conclave.
One of the -knights said that' several
events hod conspired to reduce the num
ber of commanderles - which it was orig
inally expected would cross the continent
to attend the conclave. The floods in the
west have changed the plans of many
knights and even entire commanderles.
The St Louis fair has been a big Influence
in keeping them away, and other (vents
had their effect.
It seems to be the general sentiment "of
the knights that the first prize at the con
tests will go to the Binghamton command
ery of New York state. This organization
has been drilling for the event over two
years, and it is the only organization of
this kind which has taken a band clear
across the American continent. This fea
ture alone means an expense of tu.OOO. It
was expected at first that there would be
twelve contestants for the prizes, but only
five commanderles are entered, so that
each of them will be certain of a prize.
TWO EXCURSION TRAINS IN
Rock Island Brings to Omaha, Twenty
Fire Hundred People ' for
Sunday,
The Rock Island brought into Omaha yes
terday two special trainloads of visitors
who spent the day in Omaha, many of
them at the Vinton street ball park, while
others put in the time at other resorts
One train of thirteen cars and 1,300 pas
sengers came from Des Moines, . picking
up people along the road, and the other
train, of fourteen cars and 1.300 passengers,
came from out In Nebraska, drawing Its
patronage from as far as Belleville, Kan.
Three cars of passengers were from Be
atrice alone.
Pa's attendance .was materially swelled
by the visitors and those from Iowa did
yoeman servlcs with their lungs in behalf
of the Prohlba.
HARRIMAN COVETS THE EAST
syndicate He Itepreaenta Not Stopping
at American Boundary, bat
Pressing Toward Orient.
Facts which are just coming to light In
dicate that ths Hurrlman lines are not
going to stop at the Paclflo coast of this
country. Their ships already touch the
principal ports of the Orient and the in
fluence of the Harrtman syndicate is being
felt in the Philippines, where it has prac
tically secured control of the Manila rail
road. The first move in this system of Hani
man expansion was , effected through
Speyer ft Co.. who have agreed to take up
t3.000,0ul In two and one-half year notes
and fi.000 deferred shares carrying special
voting power. This mesns the passing of
the control of the Manila road to the
Speyers. This Arm rs the one which sold
out Southern Pacific stock largely to the
Hani man syndicate, and ever since has
been working in harmony with Kuhn, Loeb
A Co. and the Union Paclflo syndicate.
The Manila company was orgiinlsod for
the purpose of building railroads through
Luzon, with the Intention of developing
territory there Just as the Cuban railway
has done In the past two years. It Is ex
pectedMhe road wilt prove a strong factor
for the Harriman shipping Interests by
Insuring Oriental routings from the Interior
parts of the Island clear through by Harri
man lines.
AGED MAN KILLS HIMSELF
P. J. Peterson. Brooding Over Old Age
and Loneliness, Drinks Car
nolle Arid.
Despondent over Increasing old sge and
of the fact of being alone in the city, P. J.
Peterson. 73 years old, rooming at 1620
North Twenty-second street, committed
suicide yesterday evening by drinking car
bolic, acid.
Gus Hamburg, at whose residence Peter
son was rooming, said the dead man had
of late spoken quite frequently of the ap
proaching end of his life, but that he had
never Intimated he would commit suicide.
"Peterson has been rooming at my place
ever since his wife died, two years ago."
said Hamburg last night. "He used to be
a tailor, but he has not followed that oc
cupation for some time and I believe he
had some money,, not much, but enough
to support him in a humble way. This
morning he told my wife that he did not
desire any breakfast, as he was not feeling
quite well. At dinner time she knocked at
his door again and was told he Intended
to stay In his room till supper time. At
4 o'clock Mrs. Hamburg knocked at his
door again to ask If he would like any
thing and receiving no answer after re
peated knocks, pushed open the door and
found him stretched on the bed In a dying
condition. A bottle of carbollo acid, a lit
tle more than half empty, was found on
his window sill."
Coroner Bralley took charge of the re
mains and It Is expected the inquest will
be held this afternoon. So far as can be
learned. Peterson has not any relatives
living in Omaha, nor do his friends know
of any in the United States. He never
spoke of any relative, except his dead wife,
and from what could be gathered from his
past Conversations he was childless.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES.
York State Folk a" at the Kruar.
Twice The Bee has had occasion to give
hearty commendation to "York State
Folks," and for the third time it recom
mends this fine play to the consideration
of all who enjoy a good thing on the stage.
It Is one of the few pieces before the pub
lic now that really deserves the dpscrip
tion of pastoral. So many cheap and fus
tian things have been paraded before the
public as "pastorals" that one hesitates to
use that term In referring to anything that
Is genuinely deserving of praise; but no
other word so well fits this piece. It Is a
simple story of life In a village, remote
from the whirl of the busy world, and
gives a picture of peaceful lives, untouched
by the hurrying throng and undisturbed
by the noise of the outside. These people
live and move and have their being In an
unaffected and natural atmosphere. No
villain struts and hisses across the stage,
no wronged maiden bewails her undoing,
none of the features that make up the play
usually called "a picture of village life"
are found in this. Two old men, life-long
friends, fall out; or, rather, one falls out
and makes the other appear to, and by
refusing to listen to explanations gets his
way of life Into a snarl that Involves the
lives of several others, but all Is made
right before the curtain' goes down, and
this without the stagey effect of the anti
climax so commonplace and so generally
used. In fact, the climax of the play comes
with Its denouement, and the righting of
the wrong Is really made the chief feature
of the evening. And the final scene of all
Is a dream of peace and conteit.
Ray L. Royce Is still giving his effective
portrayal of the loveable character of
Myron Cooper, the village organist, who
Is by nature a peacemaker. A quaint touch
of humor Is added by Mr. Royce to the
old man's character, natural enough, but
strangely pathetic at times, and spontane
ous enough to be delightful always. But
overtopping the rtne performance of Mr.
Royce is that of James Lackaye as Simon
Peter Martin, the stubborn, headstrong,
domineering man, who insists on bending
all to his unreasoning whims, nnd who,
having started wrong, blindly follows his
passion almost to destruction. There is
nothing in the part to call forth the sym
pathy of any, but Mr. Lackaye wins sup
port and admiration by the forcefulness of
his presentation of the character. In its
most minute detail he gives the role with
studious attention, with a careful consid
eration of the verities and with a most
triumphant result. It is in all respects one
of the finest things in the way of character
creation and portrayal known to the stage.
The cast in support Is practically the
same that was here last season and the
season before, and is In all ways good.
The several parts are true to life, and are
easily recognized by any ono who ever had
experience In a hamlet away from the rail
road. Nothing is exaggerated for the pur
pose of getting a laugh, but the effects of
the natural presentation of the village in
habitants is Irresistibly funny. "York
State Folks" will be the bill at the Krug
until after Wednesday night, with the
usual matinee on Wednesday,
'C'anaht In the Web" at the Boyd.
"Causht In the Web" was presented at
the Boyd twice yesterday to very good
audiences, and was generously received.
The story of the piece Is tho usual one, in
which a father la turned against his son
by a designing villain, a wronged woman
being used to aid In marring the young

Those who attended were pleased to meet
again with Miss Marie Pavey, who has
made herself such a prime favorite in
Omaha. The role is hardly one to call for
the best exhibition of her talents, yel she
gives It with the careful attention and
earnest effort for which she is known, and
makes much of a part, that does not suit
her. Miss Carmontelle, too. Is in the cast,
doing a fine bit of character work and
winning for herself much applause. Peter
Raymond finds himself marooned as an as
sistant to the main villain, furnishing a
touch of his quaint comedy in connection
with considerable misfit crime, for Pete is
not intended by either nature or training
to do the unlawful things the role he has
requires of him. The rest of the company
is well fitted for the work in hand. The
engagement was for but the two perform

Sunday at Manawa.
Manawa was visited Sunday by the sec
ond largest attendance this season.. Bath
ing was the most popular feature, the 1,000
suits at the Ki'rsaal being rented early In
the evening. The three Velures and Clark,
who made such a hit the past week in
their wonderful tumbling act and swinging
wire exploits, were re-engaged for yester
day, drawing loud applause. The sensa
tional fire dive by Bert Fluckcr was a
thrilling feature. Tom Andrew made his
balloon ascension, rising to a great height
beforo cutting loose. Covalt's band ren
dered a program of musical merit, and the
Plantation quartet furnished much amuse
ment at the Kursaal the entire day. Ed
wurd Vinton presented three new illus
trated songs at the casino. The day was
an ideal one for. boating, the 800 new
rjleasure craft being kept In constant use
afternoon and evening. The launches re
ceived a most liberal patronage, the four
running between Kursuul and pavilion ' be
ing crowded every trip. '

With its funny Tin Woodman, and Its
Scarecrow, and Its lion, and Imogene, the
calf, and Its pretty poppy maidens, and all
the long list of things that attract, "The
Wizard of Os" is coming back to the Boyd
this week for an engagement of four per
formances, beginning,, on Thursday night.
This piece has a record of two years' con
tinuous run and is now resuming Its career
after a very short rest, absolutely needed
to give the performers a chance to recover
a little and to get new scenery and cos
tumes together. It is still under the direction
of Fred Hamlin and will be presented here
Just as it was In the beginning, Is now and
will be to the end. Tho sale of scats opens
