through the home to view the body, but
there were thonsands. The local lodge of

SERMON BY. rHESIOF.JT DOWI.IIO
Eloaaeat Words of Head of Cretnton
. t'alverslty.
The funeral Sermon preached by Rev.
M. J. Dowllng. president ot Crelghton uni
versity, wss profoundly Impressive and
fervently eloquent It fell with an evident
weight of meaning upon the vast congrega
tion, moved now-and then by Its remark
able stress , upon true emotions. Father
Dowllng said:
Nearly twenty years sgo there passed
from earth the gentle spirit of Barah Emily
Crelghton, the wife of our ded friend.
With him I stood by the denth bed of his
consort, and I spoke words of heartfelt
sympathy as he turned disconsolately aside
to give way to his pentup feelings of bitter
woe. Later on, from the same spot where
I now stand, where every human Joy. and
sorrow find their expression, or echo, where
every human aspiration and sabrlflce reach
their highest consecration, I spoke the Inst
farewell, prayed peace to her sshes, and
commended to Ood the guardian spirit of
his heart and home. The scene was the
same as It Is -today; the throng of sym
pathetic friends, the doleful chant which
seems to rise up from the duet of ages,
ringing through the vaulted arches of this
church, these columns draped In bliick, like
the strong man's frame in affliction. The
church hsd flung aside its crimson and gold
to replace them with habiliments of mourn
ing. The candles flickered, while their
flames mounted upwards like our hopes.
The censers sent up their cloud of incense
like the prayers of the elect. Then as "now
these windows, their Joint gift, challenged
the light, compelling it to pay tribute to
the figured glory of the saints of Ood be
fore entering In. The same sacrltices were
offered up. the same pledges of Immortality
wore given, the same proofs of an undying
Christian faith. Many of you were here,
though your heads, like mine, have whit
ened since. He was here as a mourner
who today Is here the central figure of uni
versal regret, clsd in the solemn majesty
of death. After that day these sacred pre
cincts, hallowed by such recollections, be
came doubly dear to him, and his fondest
wish was that he might, after a good end,
with a priest present at his dying hour, go
forth on his last Journey from before this
altar.
Eloquence from Life of Dead.
What shall I say to him In your name?
Shall I whisper in his ear: ''Well done,
thou good and faithful servant?" . Ha
heeds it not. His ears are closed to the
sweet music of human voice. Shall we
present to his eyes the rood, with its
wealth of suggestion and strength? Hs
eyes are closed to earthly sights. Shall
we place in his hands tha long roll of hi
benefactions? In vain; his hands are
folded on his silent breast and shall re
spond no more to human touch. His life
Is over; his work is done; his deeds are
ended; and you hear once more the elo
quent sermon ever preached In silence
by the lips of the dead: "What I am to
day, you may be tomorrow."
It Is the misfortune of the wealthy that
their true characteristics are fiften lost
sight of, because In estimating their lives
and deeds all else is swallowed up in tha
magnitude of their possessions. Wher
ever we start out we find ourselves un
consciously drifting towards what they
had, rather than to what they were; the
mind Is darzled by the vast amounts sel
fishly retained or generously given to
philanthropy, and the human element is,
to a great extent eliminated. Even the
merit of their charity is largely dimmed,
because It Is taken for granted that a
man of wealth is more willing to part
with some of his riches than those who
possess less. Nothing is more common
than to hear: "He can easily afford it,"
"He will not miss It," "He will have
plenty left." This Shows a very Imper
fect acquaintance with the ' springs of
human action and does not take account
of the fact that few are willing to give
up their riches until the icy lingers of.
death loosen their hold and sign a waver
ing and tardy release. It Is a repetition
of the story , ot the young man of the
gospel who came to our l,or1 and said
to Him: "Master, what shall I do to
possess eternal lifer- He answered:
'Keep the commandments" "'All this
have I done- from my youth." Then fol
lowed the further. counsel: "If thou wll
be perfect go sell ail thou- hast . and
give to the poor and then come and fol
low Me' What was the result? The
yoang man went away sed. fpr he had
many possessions. He could not . bring
himself to exchange the goods of eajth
even for the kingdom of heaven.'
m . Merely a Steward of Ood.
' Our dead friend - was far from being
animated by this sentiment At any
moment he would have given all he hud
to win that pearl pt great price eternal
life. He valued wealth chiefly as a means
of doing good; seldom will you meet a
mart who was so strongly impressed with
a sense ot responsibility for the right
use of his wealth. He considered him
self merely a steward of Gpd, an almoner
of the Great King.
For many years I was associated with
Mr. Crelghton in his works of philan
thropy and charity. He treated me with
the indulgence of an elder brother and
Save me such confidence as one man sel
om gives another. I may modestly
claim, then, tp be a fair interpreter of
his life. If asked what were his prin
cipal characteristics, I should say that
they sre summed up In the statement:
He was a man of faith and heart. He
raised his charity to the dignity of a
supernatural net by founding- It on faith
and the teaching of faith, while he re-
iolced the heart of every lover ot man
Ind by his generosity to his Mlowmen.
He believed strongly In the efficiency of
prayer, else he would .not have established
a convent of Poor Clares, the essence of
whose life is prayer ahd contemplation.
He believed - steadfastly In the nneri of
preparation for the future life; he had an I
abiding conviction that thoae In the world
beyond csn be helped by our prayers, and !
hence he continually remembered the souls i
of the faithful departed, and for twenty
years had high mass offered for his de
censed wife; yet he always thought humbly
of himself. He never set himself up ns a '
monei nriinain. nc would nave ridiculed
the Idea that he was an example for anyone
to follow. As he was a man of generous
impulses., so he. was a man of strong and
deep convictions, of simplicity, cf human
ity, of child-like faith and trust In Ood.
He wss wont to say that he never save
any considerable sum to charity that he
did not receive much more in return. ,-
It was especially in acts of charity that
his heart showed itself; that was the source
of his uniform courtesy to rich' and poor;
his accesaiblltty, his deep Interest in suf
fering and distress. He blamed himself if
he was severe, even towards those who
abused his goodness, and where others
wouia rctuse to give even to the deserving, I
lest they might be Imposed upon by the un
deserving, he hesitated to turn sway even
the doubtfully worthy, lest he might do an
Injustice to those who had a fair rlalm
on his charity. His thoughts were always
for others. When he came down stairs in
the morning and saw the washer-woman
in the house he would not sit , down to
breakfast until he was sure that she had
had hers, because she had to work hard
all day. He would walk InatpaA nf nLIm
i... winnti io vnurcn, II tn coachman
had not been to mass,, or had not. taken ,
his breakfast. A few days before his
dtiath, during a lucid Interval when he
recognised me, he noticed the nursing sister I
by his side, and without thinking of hLm- 1
self, said: "Bister, go and get something,
to eat; you must be tired, taking rate of
me." And at once he relapsed again Into I
unconsciousness, liven in his dellruim the 1
thought of alms-giving was uppermost In I
his mind, for he said to his faithful friend:
Maj-y, there are two little boys standing
there; go to my pocket and get some Qhange
f.r. 'hem. And shortly after, he inquired: '
fid you get that change for thoae two lit
tle boys? And whpn assured that his
imaginary visitors had been attended to he!
was satisfied. And this waa m,i in ,

exhaust themselves In homilies on the sore
of pauperism; they speak eloquently and
touchlngly ot the privations of the poor,
but they do not come in. contact with them.
They will succor them on condition that
they will not offend respectability by the
sight of their sores and their rags. This
la nothing but the humiliating salary paid
to hunger, in order to soothe Its anger and
lull its fury to sleep. His was a different
school of beneficence, because it was
founded on religious motives that make the
poor the representatives of Jesus Christ.
Ills beneficence was largely exercised In
promoting the educational work of the
Society of Jesus. And here I acknowledge
the magnitude of the debt. As he looked
on himself as the steward of God. so he
looked upon us as the trustees of man
kind. What he gave he gave in the name
of Ood, what we received we accepted as
a trust for humanity, in the name and
for the benefit of the unborn generations
that will profit by his wisdom and gener
osity. He knew full well that though I
have given the best years of my life to the
upbuilding of Crelghton university, were I
to he removed tomorrow to another field of
labor, I would carry away with me of
his benefactions not aa much as could be
wrapped around my finger, not a dollar
would adhere to my hands, what he gave
and left Is sacred to the cause of hu
manity, and this is likewise the condition
of my brethren. It is likewise the con
dition of the Sisters who administer the
Memorial hospital, as well aa the Poor
Clares.
Wealth of Love la Retara. -
What could we give him In return T
Material things? He did not need them:
he had them and we had not. What did
we give him? We gave him the wealth
of our heart's best rove, our honest and
true affection, which he never doubled and
never undervalued. We gave him what
Saints Peter and John gave the blind man
who implored an alms as they neared the
beautiful gate. "Silver and gold have I
none, but what I have I give unto thee."
Not the gifts of nature, but the gifts of
grace. Now that he Is dead, he will re
ceive from us 22,0u0 maases, three from
every one of our Jesuit priests throughout
the world, prayers and holy communions
from the reat of the 15,000 members of the
"Company of Jesus." Wherever our re
ligious brethren abide, whether under a
sky of Ice .or a sun of fire, each one offers
up that holy sacrifice thrive for him. In
Europe they will offer it it in America, in
Asia as la Oeeanlca. Our brethren ex
pelled from the soli of France, driven forth
from home and country, cast on distant
shorea, will forgtt their wrongs while they
offer up the holy sacrifice for a benefactor

South America, under tho spreading
branches of s giant tree, in the heart of

will remember its benefactor and ltp the
unaccustomed name of Crelghton. Begin
ning here, the spiritual outpouring will
follow the path of civilisation, and within
a few we-ka or months the duty will be
fulfilled by many; but so remote are some
of our exile brothers from-clvllisatlon that
more than a year will elapse before the
news can be carried to them. Perhaps on
the anniversary of this day a belated mes
sage will find Its way to the frosen north,
and in obedlteice to the order of our gen
eral, the brethren In arctic Alaaka will
gather around their rude altars to orrer
up some holy sacrifice, the same holy
cemmunlon, and the same prayers for this
benefactor ot mankind whose name they
never heard before. Who will say that
the piayers of such men, who are hearing
the burden and heat of the day, sacrificing
everything dear to the human heart in
auest of souls In heathen lands, and
among savage tribes, will not be heard in
behalf of the dead before the throne of

Heritage of Vaaylac Faith.
What a magnificent Vlata of spiritual
realities! What a grand heritage of im
perishable faith this thought offers to the
mind! How the Catholic heart glows and
throbs at the thought that his church, the
Mother Church of the World, alone retains
that one great central act of divine wor
ship, sacrifice. Fed on such themes, our
gase need not be fixed on earth. It has
no limit of time or place or space; ws

Society of Jesus pours out its heart to one

alone will follow you and bespeak for you

Smith, Paul il Martin and John A. Ben
newlts. -
"This meeting Is held in memory ot
Omaha's best friend," said Judge Vlnson
haler, "one whom we ail knew intimately
and well.- It Is appropriate at this time
that I should present the formal expression
of the faculties and 'alumni of Crelghton
university upon the death of tha univer
slty's greatest benefactor. Count Crelghton.
He then read the resolutions.
Following the presentation of these reso
lutions Judge Vlnsonhaler read a series of
resolutions of the student body of the
university and the alumni of the university.
- The first speaker was Judge Kstelle who
paid an eloquent tribute to the. personal
character and munificent benefactions of
Count Crelghton,
"He was in my opinion Nebraska's most
famous citlsen," said Judge Estelie. "His
great works will live on Into eternity and
will grow brighter as the world continues.
He was a man of no small parts. His great
works crown the hill tops of Omaha, but
while these buildings may crumble Into
dust as the years pass on, his fame will
remain as long as time shall last.
I know of no man In the west who can
stand even alongside Count Crelghton In
conquering the great west for education,
law and order.
Ted J. Leary, one of the alumni of the
university, paid a brief but eloquent tri
bute and he was followed by John A. Ben
newlts, another of the alumni, who spoke
of Count Crelghton as the friend of the
young man. "His love of young men was
always In evidence," said Mr. Bennewlts.
"We young men who owe him so muah
may not realise It now but will In future
years. His memory will be to us a r ease
leas benediction."
Bd P. Smith, a warm personal friend of
Count Crelghton, said:'
''There Is a reaper whose name Is death.
W may solve tbe problem of the evolu
tions of the stars, science may bring new
vistas of wonderment and aw to our doors,
but death Is unconquerable, unintelligible.
Tn such deaths as this the mystery of
death becomes, the more mysterious. Count
Crelghton wrought not for race or creed,
and race and creed today unite in paying
tribute to his memory. This is the grief
of a city. It Is not because' of his age,
because of his great wealth, that this trib
ute of affection is given this man, but It Is
the tribute of a city's love. Count Crelgh
ton more nearly exemplified the Good
Samaritan than any one I have ever known.
From out the story of 1,000 years next
to the sublime story or Christ, that of tbe
work of the Good Samaritan Is humanity
great epic No one knew tba Samaritan's
creed. They knew only of hla good deeda
80 will It be with our friend, Count Crelgh
ton. HJs life stands out as an Inspiration
and his name win be honored and revered
with tbe coming years with added luster." ,
"The sympathy of silence la even more
eloquent than thaUof words." said W. F.
Ourley. "Tba keynote of Count Crelgbton's
great career was 'service. The world Is
better for his having lived In It. When
Count Crelghton entered the portals of yon
der world he could give a good and glo
rious account of hla stewardship."
The following resolutions were adopted:

and our deep sorrow on aooount of his
death.
At the age of S he tiecam a leader
among the hardy pioneers who had com
menced the subjugation of the semi-barren
region west of the Missouri river. Omaha
became his home, from which he biased
the path of civilisation to and through the
Kocky mountains. He made - thle region
not a field of conquest for personal power
and aggrandisement, but an opportunity for
benefactions to mankind
He possessed an ability amounting to
genius ror tne initiation and conduot of
?reat affairs. He acquired wealth, not by
orluitous change, but by keen foresight,
untiring energy and an Integrity that had
never been taught that "honesty Is the best
policy," but that was for the baslo element
of his nature as to forbid even a calcula
tion of the cost of doing right. He held
his wealth as a sacred trust, even mindful
that of him to whom much has been given,
much shall be required. He executed this
trust not as an exaction, but a privilege.
It was a pleaswre, not merely a duty. It
he ever denied an appeal which seemed to
him unworthy, it waa that he might not
divert assistance from a more deserving
cause. He never gave reluctantly, or to
put an end to Importunities, but always
with more joy that the recipient could
find In the gift.
in his principal benefactions, he waa aa
far-sighted and methodical as In his buaU
ness enterprise He thought it of more
Importance to arm and equip youth for
the battle of life than to provide retreat
for those who had failed In the struggle.
Yet he was far from unmindful of the
distress of such as failed. In the ameliora
tion of their condition he expanded a
princely fortune and established a per
manent refuge. But his greatest work
his most enduring monument is Crelghton
university. He took up the work. Initiated
by his much 'loved brother Edward, and
the latter'a wife, and carried it to a glor
ious completion. He mad Crelghton unl-A
versity his only child. M nursed It ten
derly In Its Infancy, steadied Its first tot
tering footsteps, maintained It through Its
youth and left It in the full strength of
early manhood, endowed with the means,
the capacity and the character which will
make It the bearer of messages of 1 joy to
ftdueratlons yet unborn. ... . .
Therefore be It
Resolved, That In th death of Count
Crelghton the faculties and alumni of
Crelghton university have lost a beloved
and moat faithfil friend and the city of

Letters Written by a Bride to Her Best Girl Friend
Dearest Nellie:
It seems to me that you are more than enjoying these fine
wintry days, ice skating, bobsled riding and coasting, which are
about all the attractive outdoor sports that the season affords.
You always were athletic, and I rememser many a time when I
had my cheeks, nose and fingers nipped trying not to be outdone
in your exhlliratlng pastimes. John and I bare enjoyed a few
uninterrupted days in our darling little home. People seem .to
have more or less interest about a bride, and display it by show
ering us with calls and Invitations. At first I thought I would be
bored with all these young married people, but, truly, dear, since
I have become better acquainted with them I like them very much,
and I am going to return all of the calls and give a bridge party
myself. By the) way, that is the popular social diversion here,
and I am sure, after I have mastered some of the rules, I will en
Joy it Immensely. Strange to say, the men are Just as interested
as the ladles. Even John, who always disliked cards, has become
quite an enthusiast. I waa very much amused the other evening.
John came borne from a bridge party vary much elated, not so
' much over the game or the people, but he had noticed the In
verted Welsbach lights which were In evidence at this party, and
now, my dear, he has them Installed In his office, and is so well
pleased that I suspect all of our lights will have to be changed.
It's perfectly amazing how much cheaper they are. John says
they do not cost over one-third ot a cent per hour for 100-candle
power. Isn't he a dear, the way he watches all of there little de
tails? As I must get ready for dinner now, I will close, and hope
to hear from you very soon. With love, ANNIE.
P. 8. The doorbell Just rang, and who should it be but a
man from the Oas Company to change our lights. John certainly
lost so time, nor did the Gas Company; but, then, ha says that la
characteristic of them, promptness and reliability.
