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.

Intestines and carries them out of the

Char coil 1 sweetens the breath after smok

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

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,

with boney.

A Buffaloi phyalciaa in speaking cf th

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.

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

should be remedied. We have demon
strated that missionary work can accom
plish much good among the Sioux Indians,
and I believe It could do much for tfu
Winnebago Indians. I learn that a priest
named fichell undertook to do some work
there and that It was through him that
attention was called to the condition of
those people. The Indisn Is susceptible
to good Influences If properly treated, and
this I think would be the only solution
of the Winnebago question. Certainly
something "Should be done for them."

Publication Committee Replies to
Statement of Rtahop Tnttle.
OMAHA. 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. We

OMAHA LEADS WHOLE COUNTRY
Highest Percentage of Increase in
Coat of Building's for 11MV4
Over 1103.
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."

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. The intelligent pubiic can easily see

that $5,000,000 is too low an assessment and
an ' Injustice to other taxpayers, rather
than to the street railway company.
"The value of $5,000,000 was agreed to by
the company, and a protest asking that It
be fixed at that amount was filed at the
request of the officers of the company, the
object being to stop the tax agitation,"
