In the afternoon the twenty-six sisters and

from which they had been free, by spe
cial dispensation of Pope Plus, during tha
four montha It took to reconstruct their
home.
The new convent waa rebuilt through tha

original patron of the order in the United
Btatee. and cost about I50.WO. It Is the
mother house and head of the Poor Clares
in America.

!lotiable congregation composed of men and
women from every Catholic pariah in the
additional seats had to be provided in tha
balls. Tha chapels, which are richly fur

ton college and. a number of priests from
other parishes. The women of Bt John's
church served coffee and lunch at a re
ception to the visitors in the basement
The whole building was open to inspection
for the first and last time.
Sermon by Bishop.
In his sermon Bishop Bcaitnell said:
"Too many' women are spending their
time visiting, going here and there, enter
taining and being entertained, traveling
about seekfng recreation and In Idleness,
No idle man or woman is ever happy,
People who would be happy must work,
must be occupied In useful Industry ac
cording to their stations In the world.
"We of today have great need to realise
the supernatural. It has become the fash,
ion to scoff ' and to, be agnostlcal. That
class of unbelievers whom persuasion, logli
or words cannot reach exists in greater
numbers today. Every Intelligent man br
woman who kneels m prayer does more to
convert these unbelievers than he who
writes a book. They must be shown by
mple such examples as the sisters in
this convent, who make personal sacrifice
and pray. They live a lite of dependence
and of poverty. The church approvea of
them because they read us a lesson to re.
spect poverty and the poor and to give us
aw a chance to practice charity. To re
spect the poverty oC Jesus Christ is, after
all, the test of Christianity. Not through
organised charity, which is often a plan
to keep the poor away from you, but the
true charity that brings us in touch with
the poor and teaches us to respect their
poverty. The world today, in its pride,
arrogance and exultation In scientific and
inauatrlal triumphs, needs this spirit."
Description of the Bulldlnir'
The new convent la a Ian. building- of
brick, with pressed brick fronts and sides,
having two stories and a basement, and ia
modern throughout. ' The kitchen, pain
fully spare refectory, laundry, whera all
the washing of the diocese is done, store
rooms and bins are in the basement; tha

comfortable and substantial. Over tha
doors and on the walls the word "silence"
is stenciled frequently in black letters, and
sucn mottos aa this:
The pleasure of dying without trouble Is
well worth the trouble of living without
pleasure.
During .the four montha of building the
younger sisters and the two-year novices,
who must not speak at all unUl they are
admitted, were housed at a second house of
the order at Evansvllle, Ind., Th other
sisters lived at Forty-sixth and Cajd
well streets, in Omaha. Inasmuch as the
order la the strictest and most frugal for
women in the world, a special dispensation
bad to be obtained from the pope so the
sisters could mingle ever so slightly with
the world again. Now they, go back to
the 'life Inside the walla, where they wear
no shoes, ean converse among themselves
during but one hour a week and can see
relations and friends through a veil but
once In four months. Their food la the

TOO NATURAL FOR MIDWAY
Colored Headllaer Seeky Infos
Life Iato ' Peklaa-"niow
' aad Is Ioeked I'p.
Harry 8cott, colored, was the headUner
at the Midway, Twelfth and Capitol ave
nue Wednesday e-enlng. The Midway Is a
colored resort, managed by Billy Crotch
Held, and nightly Is given what is styled a
"Pekin show," In which colored performers
do terpslchorean and musical acts, subject
to change by the management.
Scott blew In Wednesday evening and
thought there was a lack of ginger In the
show. According to his ideas, the actors
were going through their rolea In a per
functory manner, which was distasteful to
him. So Mr. Scott of 1214 Chicago street
started to Infuse a touch of real life into
the proceedings. He whipped a larg re
volver out of hla belt, pulled hla hat down
over hla eyes, struck a Richard the Third
stride and covered considerable territory
within the Midway before anyone could
say John Robinson or P. T. Barnum. Man
ager Crutchfleld told Scott he waa some
what too natural for the ordinary patron
of the Midway, so he ejected Scott and
Detective Ferris did the rest.
Scot: waa arraigned in pollca court on tha
charge of carrying concealed weapons and
threatening to shoot He was fined $26
and costs, and now aaya he thinks a quiet
life la tha beat In tha long run.

PASSENGER AS WELL AS FREIGHT TRAINS
Roadbed Is Fronoaaeed Safe After
Months of Testa Mad at Ex
pense of Tbonaands of
Dollars.
Word hss reached Vnlon Pacific head
quarters that W. H. Bancroft, vice-president
and general manager of the Oregon
Short Line announces from Salt Lake
City that passenger as well aa freight
tralna will begin regular tripe over the
Ogden Lucln cut-off Sunday.
While freight trains have beer, using
the cut-off for several months, only spe
cial trains have gone across Oreat Salt
Lake over the new road, as the company
did not want to take any chances until
the Improvement had been thoroughly
tried. The new road has been perfectly
solid with the exception of two places,
one on each side of the promonotory.
The promontory is formed by an arm of
land which extends into the lake from the
north and gives it the shape of a heart.
On each side the engineers found a place
which. In splta of the material that was
dumped Into it, would sag after a few daya
At one time it looked aa If the quagmires
never would be filled up, but after tha
expenditure of thousanda of dollars, tha
places now are apparently solid.
Slow time will be made by the trains
at first In going over the lake. Over the
old road with Its grades and greater dis
tance only thirty-one miles an hour was
possible. As soon aa the lake route Is
perfected a mile a minute schedule la to
be attempted.
No ceremony will be held In throwing
open the cut-off to passenger service and
there will be no change In the time of
trans-continental trains east of tha Green
river nor west of Reno.
Effect on Frnlt Hauling.
Some idea of the effect which the rall
roada now building to the coast will have
on the fruit trade waa disclosed by a rail
road man Thursday morning.
"Last year," he aaid, "25,000 carloada of
fruit were shipped east from California.
The Union Pacific got 18,000 cars of this
haul, but the trade Is increasing, and the
time is coming when it cannot take care of
it with present facilities. The San Pedro,
which soon will be ready for through hauls,
will relieve this pressure considerably. It
also will reduce the time of the haul by
twelve hours. The Southern Pacific reduced
the time twenty-four hours from the coast
to Chicago, when it built the Ogden-Lucln
cut-off, and the San Pedro will reduce the
time between these points twelve hours
more, making a total reduction of thirty-six
hours, which is a matter of vast importance
in the handling of green fruit. The haul
pays about 93G0 a car, and It means con
siderable to the roads which handle It."
NO LOCAL SPECIAL CHARTERS
Question Voted Down at Convention
by International Association of
Seam Engineers.
The discussion of the reports of the
committees on laws and resolutions of
the steam engineers' International conven
tion were finished Thursday forenoon and
the reports adopted. The resolutions were
of a special character and exclusively ex
ecutive. Following;' the adoption of these reports
the report of the committee oo grievances
was taken, up and brought out an ani
mated dlscussioh. The principal ' feature
of the report was pertaining to the question
of granting special charters ' to locals In
New York city where the members were
wholly German or other than English
speaking nationalities. A strong plea was
put up by the Germans for a charter for
an exclusively Germ an -speaking local and
the matter was discussed pro and con and
upon being put to a vote the proposition
waa overwhelmingly defeated. The ground
taken by the international association for
this action was that there already are a
number of locals in New York, Manhattan
and Staten Island, that the German engi
neers are largely affiliated with these ex
isting organisations and that it is against
the recognised policy of the international
association to grant special charters.
The sessions In Washington hall will con
tinue through Saturday and the election
of officers for the ensuing year and the se
lection of a place for the next International
convention will take place then.
This evening a special meeting of
the local branch of the National Associa
tion of Stationary Steam Engineers will
be held In one of the rooms at Washington
hall. This aasociatlon Is separate and
distinct from the international body.

FEDERAL COURT CONVENES IN OCTOBER
More ConTenleat to Try Matter There,
as Moat of the Witnesses Re
side In that Part of .
State.
The October term of the United States
courts will convene at Lincoln October 8,
when the chief case probably will be that of
ex-Adjutant General L. W. Colby. It Is
not yet definitely determined whether a
grand and petit Jury will be empanneled
for that term or not. The term will largely
be an equity term and the time for filing
notices for trial before that court will ex
pire Friday, September 23.
United States District Attorney Baxter
said:
"It baa not yet been decided whether a
petit Jury or a grand Jury will be drawn.
I have not had time to consult with Judge
Munger on the matter, as he has been
so occupied with the strike cases. How.
ever. It waa our first Intention to call a
session of the grand jury and even that
project has not been wholly abandoned.
It Is barely possible a petit jury may be
