Short Deration and Detri
mental ta Prom-ess.
Dishonest condition in business life. the
speculative mania and the effort at get
ting rich quickly, received a severe scor
ing at th hands of Rev. George A. Beecher
at Trinity cathedral yesterday preaching
from th text. "Thou decreet truth In
the Inward parts."
Truth la tha basl of ail noble and ln
crrfc character and there can be no
strength of character where there la no
truth," said the speaker. "It Is useless to
try to build character on outward show;
there must be underlying solidity. Men
' who try to pass as men on outward ap
pearance hava never been known to suc
ceed very long. It U tha man of stability,
push, perseverance and character that suc
ceeds. Ttu know aa well as I do In these
.ny f competition and stresa In business
that dishonesty and Intrigue have grown
up to be a sort of business In themselves.
Wealth acquired by gambling and by dis
honest means soon goes away. It Is not
a profitable business because It Is not
honest. Men who make money that way.
are unstable and Insincere and It bodes
no good for the state or church that busi
ness has com to be characterised by such
dishonorable methods. In doing these
thjng you are breaking away from the
good old business principle of the fore
facers of thl country. Christ walled
over Jerusalem, but he la also weeping
over th state of thie country. Who can
read the dally pres and not hear th
echo of the woe of the Son of Man over
the life of this nation sweeping to death
through false Ideas of business?
"You say the churche are for women;
the penitentiaries are full of men, many
of them young men, 30 and 36 and even 26.
It I not pleasant to see or contemplat.
Men have caught the spirit of speculation
and aoon having lost all sense of honor
become accustomed to stealing. I am not
a pessimist."
Tha pastor closed with an earnest plea
for cleaner, more honest and conscientious
business lives. '
NATIONAL PROBLEM I THE SOUTH
Itrra Question Dtaeassea by Rev. Dr.
Fraak P. Woodbnry.
"Nine-tenths of the unskilled labor of
th south. In th hands of the negro, has
made a rapid and vast Increase of south
ern production and material prosperity,"
aid Rev. Dr. Frank P. Woodbury yes
terday morning at the First Congrega
tional church. He took for his subject,
"The National Problem In the South."
"The progress of the race," he said, "Is
wonderful. The florid propheslea about a
vast, idle, thriftless population ' have come
to naught. Desplt hi histori and en
during wrongs, th nsgro In th face of
Illegal and violent oppression of his civil
rights, ha labored on peacefully and per
sistently and ha laid broad and deep the
basis of a new southern prosperity.
"The higher classes of th colored peo
ple ar asserting themselves with the new
manhood of freedom. By tens of thou
sand th colored people have felt the dis
abilities of their Ignorance and embraced
with the utmost eagerness every oppor
tunity of eduoatlng their children.'
"The black south ha before It the task
of lifting Itself from vlc and crime Into
virtue, from Ignorance Into Intelligence,
from poverty Into 'competence, of creating
a new social order of It own people, and
all this In th face of a superior people
vastly outnumbering it and preponderantly
either Indifferent to Us upward progress
or sharply antagonistic to it. This Is the
Juncture ' in which - th Intelligent north
Join hand with tha intelligent south,
whit and black.f for the uplifting of th
poor, for the creation of Christian home
and school by . th diffusion of love and
truth.'
"There to a whit and a black south.
The whit south la composed of three ele
ments. Th first one Is a progressive ele
ment, alive to the modern principle of
equal right and opportunities. It stands
for liberty, upholds law and welcomes
popular education. ' Thl element depre
cate th lawlessness which I barbarizing
so many southern communities. Par below
this element stand the opposing force of
th whit - south which represents the
spirit of the old slavery day. It re
sist every step which 'would lift the col
ored race out of a condition of serfdom.
Intermediate between these two element
Is a third which sympathises with both
the other elements. While It accept th
personal freedom of the black southerner,
It ' refuses him ' hi cltUenshlp. It is
ashamed of the savage lynching, but ha
an underlying feeling that their violence
is useful now and then in keeping the
negro down."
JESUS? DELAY AKD ITS INFLUENCE
bjec of Rev. J. M. Ross' Evening
Sermon.
"Th Delay of Jesus and It Influence,"
was th subject on which Rev. . Dr. J. M.
R,oa pf th Central United Presbyterian
church spoka last night.
"Jesus had retired beyond Jordan where
John was baptising when a message from
his loved friends, Mary and Martha,
reached him that Lasarus wa very 111,
but h remained, where h wa a few day
and while there Lasarus died," said Dr.
Rose. "Then he spoke of going to Beth
any, but his disciples dissuaded him from
going back again where they hated him;
but it waa.of no avail. Courageously he
returned to Bethany and Martha sought
him, tearfully, and said, 'Lord, If Thou
nadaf been here, my brother had not
died.' He, seld to er, 'I am th Resurrec
tion and th Life; though a man be dead,
yet shill he live.' and she returned home
comforted in a1 sense. Then came Mary
and aald the aam to Him, and He asked,
Where have you laid him?' and wept;
and though he caused the precious brother
and friend to live again, yet it all wa In
Ills own good time.
"The disciple were a yet but babe
In ' Christ, and Jsu kenw that by per
forming HI miracle their faith would be
confirmed, and that of th sister. Mary
and Martha, a well, and to th neigh
bora who knew th lk man, his sloknesa
and death, and It all wa for their benefit
also, and all wa for God's glory.
"Christian often seek God in prayer;

SEW PASTOR AT CALVARY BAPTIST
Rev. E. R. Carry Sneeeed Rev.
Thomn Andersen.
Rev. K. R. Curry yesterday assumed
charge of Calvary Baptist church. Mr.
Curry come here directly from Flint,
Mich., and Is now slaying at the Jiome
of I. W. Carpenter. He was at one time
pastor of th Baptist church In Fremont.
Large congregations greets the man who
succeeds Rev. Thomas Anderson In Calvary
church and a reception for him has been
arranged to take place In the church
Thursday evening.
Mr. Curry spoke last night, drawing his
text from the creation of man by Ood.
"God created man In His own Image."
he said. "God breathed In his nostril and
he became a living soul. The real exist
ence of God Is a fact to us. What Is man
Is as pertinent a question. If we philoso
phize we shall And ourselves out of our
depth or Involved In a cloud of mist. The
scientist says: Take man and dissect him
Into his necessary part a little chloride,
a little magnesium, etc. But we say there
I something aside from these things. We
say, can chloride feel; enn magnesium
think? Bo there Is something else.
"I am conscious I am conscious I feel,
I think; I am conscious a great gulf sep
arates me from other things. I am free
from the laws of the world. My body
may freese, but my real existence, my
true being. Is free from these laws. Fur
ther, while my bodily comfort demands
food,' clothes and nlr, these are not neces
sary to the real existence of man the real
things of life are not the visible, but the
moral. The laws governing the higher
life lead to hope, faith and righteousness.
So we find there Is a living soul. If man
ha a living soul, how long Is life? Does
It extend to eternity? Love I the great
principle of life. Love Is the prophesy It
of nothing else, of eternal spiritual life.
I have stated these things to show the
pertinency of the question of the Master.
Thou art a son of the living God. God
made us living soul to exist forever. Shall
we then not let In to 6s the life giving
Christ?"
GENERAL BLACKMAR AT CHURCH
G. A. R. Commander and Party Attend
Divine Services.
National Commander-in-Chief W. W.
Blackmar and party attended service at
Unity church yesterday morning. The
presence of the distinguished visitors at
tracted a large congregation, of veteran
soldiers and their wives Tj the church.
Rev. Newton Mann preached on the sub
ject, "Creation the V lability of Natural
Laws and Man's Part In the Evolutionary
Processes of Creation-'.'
"Thl world is not wholly perfect," he
aid. "We were made to walk mentally
and bodily with out feet on the earth.
There are soma theorists who walk with
their feet in the air. Others hold this was
originally a perfect world, but that an evil
spirit struck It a deadly blow. They will
not concede that the good God made a
bad world. Disorder In the world, they
maintain, Is not real, but merely apparent.
"For my part I will trust my moral judg
ment against any theory of universe. An
unverified theory may be of value In the
place of truth. But the bulk of our knowl
edge Is built upon the occurrence of actual
facts. A theory worked up any other way
Is not worth considering.
' "Love alone can bring in the perfect
world. It alone can cover th multitude
of fault and Imperfection. . Tried by a
theoretic standard, few things ar beauti
ful. Love is not blind. It alone looks
deep Into Its object -and brings out what
Is good and beautifies all thing by. It
transforming powers."
It was expected that General Blackmar
would deliver a short address, but owing
to the lateness of the hour he had to ask
to be excused In order to prepare for the
departure of himself and party for the
west.

SIR HORACE PLUMETI HERE
Ex-lf tuber English Parliament Will 8pad
Holidays in Omaha.
LOOKS AFTER REAL ESTATE IN THIS CITY
Well Pleaad with City' Progress
Dlsrnsses International Affairs,
Voicing Britain's Sympathy
witb Japan.
Sir Horace J. Plunkett a former men
ber of the English Parliament and at
present head of the department of Agricul
ture and technical Instruction In Ireland,
is In Omaha and expects to mend his holi
days In this city. Sir Horace first came
to this country during the boom times
of 1SS8 and Invested largely in Omaha
real estate. For years, beginning with that
date, he reversed the order of things and
spent his holidays In the old country.
Ha finds It difficult, however, to draw away
from old associations and scene and no
makea his permanent home In England,
leaving H. J. Windsor to look after hi
landed Interests In this country.
To many of the old residents of Omaha,
Sir Horace is a familiar figure. To later
comers he is not o well known. He Is a
man of medium stature with light hair
and full beard. He dresee plainly and
contrary to the Impression formed by
many people of titled foreigners, thre Is
nothing In tils general appearance to dis
tinguish him from a prosperous American
cltisen. In conversation he Is modest and
unassuming and he haa the happy faculty
of making a person feel at ease In his
presence.
Sir Horace Intimated that one reason
for the trip to Omaha Is to look after his
realty Interests here. While he Is making
no additional Investments he sees to It
that such property a he ha is paying a
reasonable percentage upott the Invest
ment. Pleased with His Property.
"I am well satisfied with my Invest
ments here," he said yesterday. "1 think
business In Omaha Is recovering from the
effects of the stuffed census which gave It
such a black eye several years ago and I
am looking forward to a season of even
greater prosperity for Omaha than It has
yet enjoyed. I am pleased with what
my property has done and have the
utmost confidence that it will do still
better.
'Are you interested In any western
Investments outside of Omaha?"
Yes. I am interested in .tn Irrigation
project In Wyoming, of which I have great
hope."
'How soon do you look for an expres
sion of opinion at the ballot box of Cham
berlain's fiscal policy?"
"That is a difficult question to answer.
There is no constitutional time fixed for
the election, of course. There is no inten
tion of the present parliament making an
issue of the question. The life of a par
liament is usually about four years, al
though It may continue for seven years.
Nothing will be done until Parliament de
cides to appeal to the people for a Justi
fication of its attitude or until It desires
from the people an expression of opinion
on questions pending before the country."
"What seems to be the sentiment of the
English people on the question of a pro
tective policy?"
'I think the attitude of the people and
of the government Is In favor of retaining
the present policy. ' There Is a sentiment
against departing from fixed principles or
principles formerly considered as fixed."
Silent on King's Nnvnl Scheme.
'Is there any agitation regarding the re
cent radical reorganization plan of the
navy put In force through the influence of
King Edward?"
That question touches a phase of gov
ernment policy on- which I would not, for
obvious reasons, care to be quoted."
"What Is the sentiment in England re
garding the war?"
'I will answer that by saying that while
England maintains a neutral attitude, popu
lar sentiment Is with the Japanese."
"How do the people feel toward the
trawler Incident?"
"They were at first very bitter and ex
citement ran very high. The attitude of
the people wa for Immediate retaliation,
but wiser counsel prevailed and the in
cident now is practically closed. I think
the government will be satisfied with an
apology and the payment of damage for
the injuries done and will demand no fur
ther reparation. I believe the findings of
the court of inquiry will show that on the
night of the shooting the officer of the
Baltic fleet had dined too well and they
may possibly have been In a condition of
distorted vision that changed the general
appearance of everything that floated on
the water. I am not saying that they were
Intoxicated, because I am not supposed to
know, but Englishmen now entertain their
own opinion on the subject."
"Haa the war had any effect on the com
mercial Interests of England?"
"Tee, it haa had a noticeable effect upos
her shipping Interests,"
ONLY FEW TIMID FLAKES FALL
Slight Flurry Threaten to Give
Omnha Ftrat Real Snow,
bn Palla.
For awhile yesterday It seemed Omaha
certainly would get it first real snow of
the winter, but the pro peat wa dissi
pated In the merest flurry. The clouds
looked Just right, the atmosphere seemed
propitious and the people were hoping, but
even that did not bring the snow. Th
timid flakes which came rather thick for
a little time remained on the ground
scarcely a long a It took them to fall.
Nor did th state at large do any better,
according to the wsather bureau's state
ment. Worse still, prospects as Interpreted
last night, gave no promise today for pre
cipitation. "We do not look for a clear day," said
one of the officials at the bureau, "but
the condition do not Indicate snow."
East of Omaha from on to two and three
inchea of snow were reported yesterday
and a far, north as Duluth, according to
th statement of a traveling man who had
Just returned from there, a couple of day
ago, twenty-one Inches fell.
The thermometer yesterday got aa low
a 20 degrees above sero. That wa at
p. m. During the day it ranged from
22 to 81.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Oommittte Calls on Krog for Opening of
Twestj-Fifth Stmt.
NEW NORTHERN OUTLET IS THE OBJECT
Mr. Kmc Dee Net Readily Consent
to This Reoaest Wltbont Proviso
Regarding Twent y-Seventb
Street.
A committee of cltlsens composed of
Colonel James O. Martin, C. W. Miller,
Councilman John Kiewlt and Albert Hun
ter called yesterday on William Krug to
see about the opening of Twenty-fifth
street, from A street to the boulevard.
There Is a small piece of ground which It
was thought could be secured for a reason
able sum from Mr. Krug In order to open
this roadway.
Mr. Krug wa not In a mood to entertain
any donation propositions, but he stated
to the committee that If arrangements
could be made to open Twenty-ueventh
street, from A street north, he might talk.
The piece of ground on Twenty-fifth street
! Is small and It was thought by the com
mittee Mr. Krug would give this property
In order to have the street opened. When
the Twenty-seventh street proposition was
suggested the committee wa at a stand
still, as nothing was to be said. The prop
erty on Twenty-seventh street which Mr.
Krug wishes opened never has been dedi
cated for street purpoees and will have to
be tought. The land ia in the city of
Omaha and while the people of South
Omaha desire the opening of the street
they do not feel like buying land in Omaha
for street purposes.
In this connection of opening northern
outlets it Is understood a great number of
men engaged In business at the packing
houses Is dissatisfied with the failure of the
city to keep Thirtieth street In good con
dition for driving. The city spends quite
a sum each year In rounding up this road
way and, according to the mayor and street
commissioner, the road Is kept In good
condition the year round. Another effort
Is to be made by some city officials to seo
If Mr. Krug will not consent to the open
ing of Twenty-fifth street without putting
in any proviso about Twenty-seventh street.
Will Finish Paving Today.
Dan Hannon, who haa the contract for
paving South Twenty-fourth street and
Railroad avenue to the county line, said
last night his work would be completed to
day. The street car company has about
completed the laying of heavy rails and
the concrete has been put In, with the
exception of a few feet. Mr. Hannon ex
pects that by tonight he will complete
the work. As soon aa the paving between
the track la laid it Is expected the street
car company will run its Walnut Hill and
Benson cars clear to the county line. The
switches and power lines necessary are
in position and within a day or two the
cars will most likely be runt through. By
the opening of the road to the county line
the "dinky" cars that have been running
on the Albright line will be dispensed with
and the standard cars used. Motormen on
the Albright line will be assigned place
on regular runs.
The car barn at Twenty-fourth and Vin
ton streets are nearly completed. Tracks
are all laid in and the interior Is com
pleted with the exception of a portion of
the heating plant. It is expected this car
barn will be open and ready for use before
the holiday. When this barn Is opened the
Walnut Hill and other cars that have laid
on the tracks nights at Twenty-fourth and
O streets, will be sent to the barn at Vin
ton street.
Conductor and motormen who expect to
take early; morning run out of South
Omaha already are arranging for cottage
or boarding places In order to be in readi
ness when the bell rings for the early
morning start.
Anderson Reception Tonight.
Mr. and Mr. David Anderson will cele
brate their golden wedding tonight. A re
ception will be held at Workman Temple,
Twenty-fifth and M treets. The program
of the evening's ceremonies has been pub
lished. It Is expected that a large number
of people will attend the reception an Mr.
and Mrs. Anderson are well known In
South Omaha.

ica, met last week and elected the follow
ing officer: Thomas F. Corrlgan, consul;
S. P. Southwlck, advisor; Charles Swanson,
banker; J. J. Breen. clerk; Nela Nelson, es
cort; W. T. Elmore, watchman. Thomaa
F. Conloy was chosen aa manager for three
year. James A. Kelly and W. J. McCrann

Want Cheap Horses.
The fire department Is In need of a good
team and an extra horse. All summer
members of the Fire and Police board have
been looking over horses, but it only de-
I veloped Saturday that the commissioner
are not willing to pay the price. A horse
dealer at the yard states that the com
mlantoner "want to buy a $200 horse for
175." The result 1 that unless horses are
soon provided for the firemen the de
partment will be practical y useless. A
councilman aald last night there wa mowy
enough In the fire, fund to buy two good
horses, and the wonder is that the board
let teams that are In no condition to work
make runs to fire.
A. A. Wright, Nineteenth and M streets,
suffered a loes of 1150 yesterday afternoon
by Are. The cause was carelessness with
matches. The Are department responded as
promptly aa It could with the horse on
hand to pull the hose, wagon. Chief Gar
rett said last night that the los on the
building would be 8128 and on the content
not over 325. While the loss was fully cov
ered by Insurance th incident caused quite
an excitement in the nelghborohod.
