Tha purpose of the laymen's forward movement, Is to Interest the members of the church in the Sixth Missionary depart ment In church matters and to propose schemes for the best advancement of mis sion work In the department, this move ment being authorlxed by the last general convention of the church. Foarth Day of Conference. The fourth day of tha Episcopal mission ary conference of the Sixth Missionary department began at 10 yesterday morn ing with Bishop Tuttle presiding. A resolution of grateful acknowledge ment to all who have contributed to the success of the conference was 'adopted. Rev. Carroll M. Davis, general secretary of the conference department, took occa sion to refer to the recent publication of the leaflet, "The Prayer League," the official organ of the league, copies of which were distributed to the members of the, conference. The purpose of the Prayer League is to bind together In a closer bond those who desire to pray daily for the extension of the kingdom of Ood. Ha urged that the suggestions contained In the leaflet be generally applied In the parishes of the Sixth Missionary depart ment General Work of tha Church, i Right Rev. Bishop R. U Brewer, bishop of Montana, presided at the conference session, which began promptly at 10: SO o'clock. The general subject of the day's conference was "The Awakening of Inter eat In the General Work of the Church." Bishop Brewer said: "I take it that this la what we are here for. Parishes and dioceses are but a part of the church. What we-want to reach out for Is not only the, poor, but the rich. They are as much In need of the saving grace ns the poor. We want to awaken the rich people by special effort to make special offerings. It la expected that the apportionment plan as provided by the general convention of the church will have a good effect. I had hoped that the apportionment would have been made In a different way, In that the part of the Woman's Auxiliary and Sunday school might be specially Indicated. But this will come, and I am hoping that the mission board will yet accept the offerings of the Woman's Auxiliary and Sunday school as a special contribution." Bishop Brewer read an extract of his recommendations to the diocese of Mon tana relative to these contributions to the missions fund and urged that the same plan be adopted by other dioceses and mis sionary districts. Literature of Missions. Miss Julia Emery of New York, general secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary, spoke upon the subject of "Missions and Litera ture" and advocated the preservation of all missionary literature in the parish libraries in file form for reference that it may be come accessible to every member of tha parish. "Our American church la yet too young," she said, "for a compilation of the histories of the lives of our church heroes as compared with those of the mother church of England, but that time la coming, as will come the histories of the mission work undertaken and carried on by the American church." Spirit of Giving. "Missions and Money" was the subject of an elaborate paper by Rev. W. II. THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Know How Useful It is In Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal la the safest and most efllclont disinfectant and purifier In nature, but few realise Us value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of It the better; It Is wot n urug at all. but simply abiorba the gone and Impuri ties always present In tire stomach and Intestines and carries them out of the system. Char coil 1 sweetens the breath after smok ing, drinking or after eating unions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improve the complexion, it whitens the teeto and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; It disin fects the mouth and throat from the polsoa or rather in the form of large, pleusant of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is la Etuart's Charcoal Losenges; they ax composed of the finest fiowderod Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form, lasting- losenges, the charcoal being mixed with boney.

Knowlton ofTsvalry church, St. James. Mlrh. He took the portion that It was mistake to encourage the Idea of poverty In the parish. It was too often an excuse for Indolence. What should be encouraged was the spirit of the gift; that Idea once Impressed upon the parish wouid prove a wonderful stimulant to more liberal sivlng. He believed also that the bishop should give his missionary earnest credit for the work done. The bishops sre chosen not to spare the missionaries and clergy, but to lead them. Missions aad Prayer. A very Interesting address was that by Rev. A. 8. Lloyd of New York, general secretary of the Board of Missions, en the subject of "Missions and Prayer." He said In part: "I do not believe that any man has any rlcht to give his life to an enterprise or rlin whlrh women and chil dren can tak eare of. When the present apportionment is pafd as fixed by the gen eral convention for mission work paid secretaries will be put In every diocese to assist In the proposition of mission work. A good many men who nrn now In the clergy were formerly business men, but they quit business because It was not big enough. They wanted to get into God's work. Three thousand people are depend ent for their dally bread on the work of the Board of Missions and yet there are people who ask me what makes me so h-sn? Any parish that ptits the money question first falls, and properly so. I had charge of a parish for Ave years at a salary of $350, and there were times during my mls Istry that I could not get a postage stamp har It not been for an old hen that would persistently lay. Contact with Christ Is tha only thing; that Is what makes the earth white and groaning stop. Prayer Is trying to get something from a Power we are afraid of. Tou should talk with God. Keep on pressing Him until He shows us what He la thinking about. It Is a sacri legious thing to think that when a rich man hands a check to God he Is doing Ood a favor." Following the addresses a discussion en sued on the various papers, continuing until 1 o'clock. Duty of Chnrehmen. The afternoon conference session began at S o'clock, with Bishop Atwell of Kan sas City presiding. The subject of the con ference was "The Churchman's Duty." The discussion was , opened with a brief address by Bishop Atwell, who defined the word "churchman" and his relation to the work of the Protestant Episcopal, Episco pal or American Catholic church, or by whatever name the church chose to be called. Bishop Olmstead of Colorado spoke on "Sunday Observance," saying: "The Chris thin church makes a Christian commu nity and In this country there are 30,000,000 Christians, hence It Is the duty of 4 he church to bring out the proper observ ance of Sunday and sanctify it to Its holy purpose. If we dare blot out the Babbitt h day or the Christian Sunday from the con science of the American people after a generation or two we will reap a bitter harvest. America oan only be kept true by keeping true to her Christian Ideals." Chnrch and Labor Question. Bishop T. N. Morrison of Iowa, on "The Labor Question," asked: What Is the church's duty toward the labor question? It Is an academic ques tion and cannot be discussed here. Out In the -world It becomes a question of a strug gle between ths strong and the weak. As Christians we naturally are with the weaker side. Labor struggles are ques tions difficult of solution. Labor organises to protect Itself. The struggle Is one of self protection and selfishness. The growth of Intelligence has made the struggle more Mtter. It is now a battle of brain against brain and Intelligence against Intelligence. Few sacrifice themselves for the many; future generations and not money Is the Issue at stake. Religion of today Is de signed to pity and appease human suffer ing. Christianity seeks to ameliorate the conditions of all the rich and the poor, to move men to good deeds and loving brotherhood. The Issue between capital and labor must be settled as all struggles are settled, by victory for the stronger. The church can never take sides In this contest, because of her Interest In humanity. The church has Its message .to capital and labor. .To the capitalist It says, you are the steward; to the laborer, you are a man. Let the re sult be what It may, our only recourse Is to trust In God. The problem, for the church Is to make the man. To develop godliness and the Christian spirit within him. . The church cannot settle little dis putes, but It can make manhood and hold men to those high ideals given by the ten commandments and the sermon on the mount. To teach Justice Is the supreme measure of the church's duty. Disagree with the Bishops. In the discussion following. Father John WJUlams of Omaha said that he differed from the bishop of Iowa. He said, with some warmth: "The church should take sides. It should say to the rich man, 'Thou Shalt not steal.' We should regard the man In the gutter as much one of God creatures as the man in the palace. Christ's ministry was with the lowly. The common people heard Christ gladly." Dean Beecher of Omaha thought that there was no need of talking about taking sides. "Don't look at' gold," he said, "but look to the man himself." Rev. Robert Doherty of South Dakota indorsed the stand taken by Father Wil liams, and thought that the church should always talis the part of the weaker. Missionary Halllea.

JIMOK AtXILIAIlY . CONFERENCE Bishop Raw Tells of the Work Being Done in Alaska. At 2:30 o'clock the Junior auxiliary confer ence, In charge of Mrs. Arthur L. Williams, was held in the crypt of Trinity cathedral. The hall was filled by the members ofthe different Junior organisutlura ot the city, who occupied seats in a body. One of the most interesting of the ad dresses wae by Right Rev. P. T. Rows, bishop of Alaska, who described the, work being done In the land of the midnight sun. He began by saying It was a pleasure to addresa the juniors, and particularly thoae of Nebraaka, because he haa so many friends In thla state, and because when he asked for help In tha work In Alaska they sent him a Nebraaka man. "Alaska," said the speaker, "has not many young white people. There are not many homes there. Men come there, but they don't bring their wives and mothers and sisters, We are doing an excellent work among the natives. They used to live under the ground and they had under ground habits, but we have Induced thera to live above ground. We have organised a number of Junior Societies among the na tive children, and they are quick to learn. In Instructing tliem we use pictures a great dial, for we found that they learn quicker with the eye thuii in any other way, and they make good misslonarlM. They teach the older ones. "The Indiana are all fund of miulo and they aing aud play on native and imported Instruments quite a little. They learn very qultkiy. Their otu songs are replete with folk lore and tell traditions of their past" The speaker went Into detail regarding the missionary work being done In the north and urged the children to Interest themselves In the work. Other speakers of the afternoon were Mrs. J. D. Morrison of Duluth, who spoke on the work of the Juniors, and Rev. A. K. Lloyd of New Tork City, general secretary of the Board of Minions, who told what the board Is accomplishing. BROTHERHOOD OP ST. A 3 DREW Events Devoted Work of tha Aaslllary. Those who sttend,1 the conference for men at Trinity cathedral last evening looked upon a forest of green which ex tended from the attar to the chancel rail. Amid this1 mn.se: of emerald sparkled Innum erable lights which enhanced the beauty of the scene. Rev. I. Sedgwick of St. John's church, St. Paul, Minn., was the first speaker. The service was In the Interest of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, and his subject was "The Clergy and the Brother hood." He made an Impassioned speech which held the close attention of the audi ence. "The relationship existing between us." he said, "Is a delicate one. We want to do the right thing at the beginning. We want the members to bring people Into the church. The boy will do what he Is told. The man Is different. He feels that he has a proprietary interest In the' society and he will not work so well. Let us not forget that we ore brothers: let us be brothers and not an organisation. Let us be loyal to the church. Don't give one hand; lot us extend two hands to the stranger." . . G. Frank Shelby, who followed, spoke with convincing earnestness and presented some excellent Ideas regarding the sub ject of "How to Win the Man." "The way to win a man," he said, "Is to send another man after htm. I sometimes be lieve the clergy don't expect enough of Its members. They don't make Christian ity hard enough. If the members had more to do they would keep closer to the church. Work the man. It ought to be the motto of every clergyman. God wins souls through other men. One of the most re markable things to me Is the detail with which the advertising man of a great re tall establishment writes up an advertise ment so as to win customers. That Is the way we ought to go at It. We are apt to overlook the details. God has a place for every man. There Is a shell of Indiffer ence In the life of every men, but a great deal of good under the shell. Church work develops a man as nothing else can." "How to Win the Boy." was the sub ject of Hubert Carleton of Boston, general secretary of the brotherhood. He said: "To win the boy, have something doing. Don't keep him arranging chairs and bring ing books. Appeal to his Intelligence; to his loftier nature. Place a , responsibility upon him. The church la here to win. It la here to win the unwon. Unless you are winning people your parish Is not a suc cess. Confirmation ought to be the door Into the church. Too often It is the door our of the church. Where are the boys In your parish tonight? What are you do ing to bring them Into the church? Some times I think we are preaching only half a religion. The church Is not teaching the boys the work they ought to be doing. Re member that a boy has more influence over other boys than a man has over other men." The speaker gave a number of plans which he believed would get the boy in terested in the church and In the brother hood. BISHOP DECLINES TO INTERFERE Civil Courts to Try the K. M. A. Lease Case. By a decision of Bishop Tuttle of Mis souri,' rendered yesterday, a trial will be gin at Kearney In 'February In which the plaintiff will be Dr. E. P. Chittenden, for mer president of the Kearney Military academy, and the principal defendant Rt. Rev. A. R. Graves, of the diocese of Lara mie. The suit. Is brought by Mr. Chittenden to set aside an order of the bishop removing him as head of the military academy, or to pay damages as the result of such re moval. The plaintiff In the case .sets up that he was given a lire lease of the property of the Platte Collegiate Institute, the Episcopal school at Kearney, that he changed the name of the Institution to the Kearney Military academy and that at the end of two years had placed It on a pay ing basis, where before It had been an ex pense to the diocese. It Is further alleged that upon the death of Felix Brunot of Pittsburg, who had pre viously Assisted the school, property valued at no less than 30,000 was left as a be quest to the Institution under the name of the Platte Collegiate Institute; that by means of a letter addressed to Pr. Chit tenden and withheld by another person the bishop learned of the bequest and, as head of the diocese, entered upon possession of the property and secured a waiver of the plaintiff's lease while the plaintiff knew nothing of the bequest. The matter has been pending at Kearney for some time and this week, at the re quest of friends of the church who desired to avld the scandal which might follow a public trial of the case. Dr. Chittenden came to Omaha and laid the facts before Bishop Tuttle, asking that if possible he appoint an ecclesiastical commission to hear and determine the issues between the parties. Bishop Tuttle replied that as he under stood the matter It was a case Involving financial transactions principally and as such should require legal rather than ec clesiastical adjustment and he therefore de clined to appoint a commission. The case Is expected to come on for trial at Kearney on February IS. WORK AMONG THE WINK ED A GOES Disbop Hare Says Something; Should Be Done for Them. Bishop Hare of South Dakota, who has special charge of missionary work among the Sioux Indians, was asked regarding his views of the conditions prevailing at the Winnebago Indian reservation In Ne braska. He said: "I am not at all familiar with the situ ation there other than what I have seen in the papers. The district is entirely out of my Jurisdiction and I know nothing of matters pertaining to the reservation. I have heard that they were deplorable, and I am of tha opinion that they could and How to Core Epileptic Fits At laat a positive cure has been dis covered for epileptic or falling fits.

Jan. 21.-To the Editor ot The Bee: In your issue of the 19th Inst, there appears the following, taken from a synop sis of Bishop Tuttle's address to missionary delegates of that date: "If the real Christ be turned away they will have a false Christ such as theosophy. Christian Sci ence." For Christian Scientists I wish to state that they do not believe In false Christ. Christian Science Is not based upon a be lief In a false Christ. Christian Scientists understand that "Christ Is the divine mani festation of God, which comes to the flesh to destroy error and sin." Christian Sci ence takes for Its basic lessons the Christ teachings. "Ood Is spirit." 'It ts the spirit that qulckeneth." "The flesh proflteth nothing," and every statement contained In the Christian Science text book Is di rectly and consistently deduced from its premises. "By their fruits ye shall know them." The Christian Scientists have proof , every day that "These signs follow them that believe We hnve no onarrel with the believers In any theological school.

Omaha leads the list of twenty-eight large cities of the country whose building operations for 1904 are reviewed In the last issue of Construction News. Of course, the Nebraska metropolis does not compare with the very large cities In total number of buildings under construction or planned, or In the total cost. But In percentage of gain In building operations for 1904 over 1903 Omaha exhibits the very high percen tage of 143. Brooklyn comes next In per centage of gain, with 107. Memphis, Term., Is third, with 88, and from this figure the percentage ot gain ranges all the way down to 3 for Allegheny. Minneapolis, St. Louis and Denver show losses of 1, 2 and 9 per cent, respectively. Detroit and Louisville also show losses compared with the previous year. New York's labor troubles undoubtedly account for the fact that Chicago quite doubles on her In percentage of gain, the figures be ing 19 for the Empire City and 31 for the big and smoky burg whose motto is "I will." As heretofore noted In The Bee, the gen erous Increase in building operations cred ited to Omaha for the year by thla leading authority on the subject Is not so much to be attributed to a few great buildings as to tho steadily growing residence and retail business district. A Isrge number of moderate priced homes and of service able and handsome business structures have been quietly but permanently fixed among our solid assets. In closing its re view, too. Construction News says, as The Bee said In almost so many words: "As to the future, nothing more than has been need be said. From every source from which information may be obtained the in dications point to a prosperous and busy year." OMAHA MAN IN INSANE ASYLUM Badly Froiea and Likely to Die as a Result of Ills Exposure.

P. .A. NO INJUSTICEJJONE COMPANY Member ot Real Estate Exchange Ex plains fttreet Railway Assessment. A member of the Real Estate exchange, commenting on the letter of the president of the street railway company and the interview of one of the company's officers, soys: "I was greatly surprised at their attitude, for the reason that the street ralrway com pany has been more than fairly treated by the tax committee of the Real Estate exchange, and all connected with Its as sessment. The public should take with some allowance this Injustice talk from officers of the street railway company, for it is characteristic of them. It seems they will complain at any assessment, no matter how low, when It Is remembered- how vigorously and eloquently they protested in 1902 their assessment of S?7,0o0, which waa this low on account of an error In the mw which permitted the deduction of mort gage Indebtedness. "On the other hand, the street railway company, through Its officers,' made no attempt to comply with the law In making a return to the tax commissioner or to show the value of their property before the Bourd of Review. They asked that body for a reduction, and yet positively refused to give any Justification therefor. Public records show this company to be bonded for tlO.000,000 and stocked- for $16. 000,000, representing a total valuation of $25,OuO,000. The price required for the bonds is- 97H, which would figure their value at $9,750,000. Of the stock $5,000,000 Is preferred and sold on the market In 19X at 75. so the preferred stock on this basis is worth $8,750,000. Without figuring the common stock, which controls the property, as being worth anything, according to the foregoing figures this property Is worth $13,50,OiO. "The only property represented by these stocks and bonds Is nlr within the city of Omaha, except extensions to South Omaha, Florence, Dundee and Bi-nson, and a lease hold on tho Omaha and Council Bluffs bridge and the Council Bluffs slret railway lines.
