"Money Is needed. At present the con

k1n.)ater years men have been taking- a
more active part In missionary work than
fortrjerly. it has been too long; the prac

children carry on the foreign missionary
work." That time Is at an end. The world
Is movlntf on and In the movement for uni
versal evangelisation It Is moving very
rapidly. Only recently a grest meeting
was held In New York, at which a com
mittee of 100 practical business men was
appointed to visit every station of every
denomination In all',' parts of the world,
, and rVf bring bark a report regarding the
establishment maintained, the character of
the1 Work, the number and character of
the'"cohverts, the disbursement of money
and other points upon which Information
maY be' desired. This cannot fall to have
a good effect. It win make the foreign
missionary work wore real. It will give
the people a distinct Idea of what their
money accomplishes end therefore make
them more willing td ' contribute to the
work.

When the mart become as thoroughly In

of the world will be brought about by
leaps and bounds."
RECIPROCITY III THE SPIRITUAL
Applies as la Natural. World, aayB
Rev. Philip Anihnti. .
Rer. J. Philip Aushuts of South Omaha
preached at St. Mathlns' Episcopal church
Sunday morning, speaking; from the text.
Matthew, vll:2: "For with' what Judgment
ye judge, ye shall be Judged; and with
what measure ye mete, 1t shall be measured
unto you." Mr. Anshuts began his dis
course with a reference to a story of the
Childhood days of Louis Aggasls. Illustrat
ing the effect produced on the child's mind
by an echo.
"Such Is the way of Ood; If we glv kind
ness we shall receive kindness In return,"
said he, "and If we give unklndness, un
ktndnesa shall be our Inevitable return. The
farmer reaps as he sows. Such, too. Is the
law of the spiritual life, as It Is or the
natural life.
The New Testament i fllled with teach
ings of the law of reciprocity. Every gift
has Its return, every act Its consequence
and every call Its reply. The world la
more orderly than we sometime think It Is.
Much of the cruelty of the world Is but the
rebound of our own lives. No force can
work counter to the force which Is Joined
to It.
"The earth Is a place of Joy tp the opti
mist. Men see things from different points
Of view. - The soul cannot so dragged down
f Itself, but Is subject to Its environment.
Judas woifld not have become a traitor had
not some wickedness come In contact with
the purity of the life of Christ. Our man
hood will determine whether we shall be
come a man or traitor. We give ourselves
to nature and nature returns our natures
to us. i
"If we give ourselves to Christ we shall
receive Christ In return. But In giving our
selves to Christ we must transfer ourselves
wholly to Him. Transfer to Him our whole
elf, our desires, hfijxs, plans and love,
and then they will be returned to us In
manifold ways. Christ Is the perfect life.
He Is dod and man. Let us get all of
Christ that we' can In our everyday lives,
and He will not neglect or forget us."
HARTHLY OR HEAVENLY TREASURE
Rev. Herrfasr Point. Lessons from
Christ's Sermon on Moaat.
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures on
earth, but lay up for 'yourselves treasures
In heaven," wss the theme of Rev. H. C.
Herring's discourse Sunday morning at the
First Congregational church. The lesson
was drawn from an of that part of Christ's
sermon on the mount which has to do with
treasures In earth and heaven, serving
of Ood s.nd Mammon, and seeking first
the kingdom of heaven.'
Characterising the passage aa one of the
most carefully wrought and thoroughly
articulated tn the Bible, Pr. Herring said
Christ had three arguments, three reasons
why melt should take out of their lives
as the controlling motive the desire to pile
up wealth to a greater or less amount.
"Exceedingly unprofitable, entirely unneces
sary anil supremely dangerous," said Dr.
Herring by way of Introduction, and re
peated It as a summary at the close.
Christ says the accumulation of wealth
is' unprofitable ' because moth and rust
gorrupt and thieves steal," observed the
Speaker. "en If we escape the moths

and thieves, at .last ' comes the greatest
thief of all, and we are forced to go out
Into the beyond with naked souls. Christ
says It Is unnecessary because He, wbo oares
for the flowers which toll not nor spin,
win also care for us If we live according
fo the law of our lives. He promises. "Seek
ye first the kingdom tf Ood and His
righteousness, and "alt these things will be
added unto you.' Kxceedlngly dangerous,
says Christ, for no msn can serve two
musters, and where the treasure Is the
heart Is also.
"He who has set hfx heart on a financial
goal has settled It; he Isn't going to have
murh room left In bis soul for other things.
Wealth and tha struggle to get It and the
pursuit of pleasure with H, crowd out the
things of the spirit. For the last few
weeks I have been about the New York
hotels. I saw many men and women there
whose master Is Mammon. It was Im
possible for me to escape the conviction
that those women whose time Is spent In
Idling, dressing and pleasure seeking, and
those men, whose money goes so easily,
have gone Into bondage. You can realise
that It would be no more use to try to
Inspire one of them with higher things
than It would be to talk Christ to a tele
phone pole In the street yonder."
ONE SALOON WAN ARRESTED
Charles Ints the, Only On Caacht
Bandar Violating the Slo
comb. Law,
The espionage of the wfly sfttooiiman was
continued yesterday by Chief Donahue' and
his cohorts, with results that were gratify
ing, as It Is evident that the city has gotten
Into the habit of having a chronic thirst
on Sunday. The whisky brigade, consist
ing of six officers, tried and true, working
In plain clothes, was on duty as usual from
early morn to dewy eve, but It seems the
proprietors of the emporiums of liquid re
freshment have accepted the Inevitable and
have ceased to attempt to evade the rigid
Sunday closing orders.
The only transgressor was Charles Lenta
of the firm of Lents Williams. 1418 Fnr-
nam street, who wss arrested by Officers
Van Deusen and Troby. Lents was seen
to prepare four drinks of whisky behind
the bar and take It on a tray to four men
In one of the card rooms. One of the men
was seen to throw 50 cents on the tray,
which was picked up by Lents and then
dropped like a hot potato when the officers
entered the room. When asked what he
Intended doing with the four drinks of
whisky he replied; ''Going to drink them
myself. I'm always more .thirsty on Sun
day than other days." . ....
Ients was taken to the city jail and re
leased under bond . of 1300 to . await trial
for violating the Blocumb law, and the
saloon will be kept closed until final dis
position of the case. The police bollove
they will secure a conviction, but It Is
problematical. In view of the action taken
by Judge Crawford last Tuesday in the
case of Joe Kasper, who was discharged
even though testimony was offered by
officers that he had served a bottle of boer
ovW his bar last Bunday.
Officers Herald. Vobortl, Jackson, Relgle-
man. Van Deusen and Troby were assigned
to the duty Sunday of keeping their eyes
on the doors, front and back, of saloons
that were believed would be opened on the
least Indication of laxity on the part of the
police In enforcing the Blocumb law'. The
activity of the officers was largely confined
to enjoying the delightful spring weather
and the pleasure of each other's company.
TRAINING NEW M0T0RMEN
Street Railway Company Breaking la
New Mem for the An anal
Spring; Rash.
Many new motormen and conductors are
being hired at present by tho Omaha . A
Council Bluffs Street Railway oompany,
either In anticipation of a possible strike
by the local employes belonging to the
carmens' union or to provide for the natu
ral Increase In travel during the coming
spring. This Is the training period for
new employes, as more cars are run dur
ing the spring and summer than during
the winter.
An Innovation was sprung on an unsus
pecting public Sunday afternoon when Ar
thur Gross, a claim agent for the railway
company, was seen operating a South
Omaha car. Mr. Gross had supplanted the
motorman, who was gaslng out of the ves
tibule window enjoying the scenery, and
in justice to Mr. Gross it can be said he
handled the car with all the precision of a
veteran motorman. ' It was said that he
even ran the car by waiting passengers
In true professional style.
Speculation was rife as to what would
have happened If the claim agent had run
over some careless person, but the opinion
was offered by a rear platform Inhabitant
that In such an event the claim would
have been settled on the spot, even without
delay to traffic. ,

A false alarm of fire was tamed In at

It caused several companies of the fire de

The iRoyal Chef," which catered to epi
cureans of the theater last season, returned
to Omaha yesterday and served some dainty
morsels of entertainment at the Boyd. This
comic opera Is a feast of good things,
the eye and the ear being appealed to In
pleasing manner. One of . the , striking
features of the piece Is the care with which
the sprightly and attractive maidens were
selected by the man who makes up tho
pay roll, or whoever does the hiring and
firing for the management. The young
women enter Into their work with an aban
don not always noticed In attractions of
this character. The comedians are of a
class that please.
A mere thread of -tory suffices to bind
together the many specialties, ludicrous
situations and Wayside witticisms. Harry
Hermsen as Helnrlch Lemphauser, a Chi
cago chef, who lands on the Isle of Oolong
and becomes a chef to the rajah, carries
the burden of the fun making.. He pines
for Chlcag-o and disregards conventionali
ties. A gang of bandits, knowing that a
chef Is prised more highly than a plumber
In Oolong, steals the royal chef. . . Mr.
Rag-land makes a stately rajah.. Gertrude

A score of musical side dishes are served

Vaadevllle at tho Orpheam.
"Menetekel" Is the feature of the ON

annual visit to the Orpheum this week.
This Illusion, which, very likely. Is easily
explained, has completely mystified all who
have given it even casual thought A big
drawing board Is covered with sheets of
paper and suspended In the center of the
stage, where It swings freely and continu
ously. Against the white sheet a tennis
ball coated with a writing fluid of sufficient
viscosity to enable the ball to adhere to
the paper Is placed. Then at a word of
command the ball begins to travel, appar
ently of Its own volition, and transcribes a
word. A different ball Is used for each
word, and the only time the swinging board
is approached by the operator Is when the
ball Is being placed on or removed from
the sheet of paper. Even with the certain
knowledge that It Is controlled mechanic
ally In some way there Is an uncanny
aspect to the ban creeping as It does over
the virgin sheet, leaving; an Inky trail be

In the closing scene, when these little
minxes, clothed In sou'westers, slickers and
rubber boots, dance In a rainstorm, their
faces shining with Impish glee, while their
feet fall faater than the water that is
poured on them from above, one gets an
understanding of the title. They are then

Work and Over do sorrie good stunts In
the line of comedy acrobatics. Wilson's
monkey la by far the best trained animal
of the sort ever seen here. Claude and

which does finish rather mushy. As a
whole the bill Is a good one. It drew cat
paclty houses yesterday, and arrangements
have been made for extra matinees on
Tuesday and Friday of this week. In order
that all who wish may be accommodated
at the theater.
"The Climbers" at the Bnrwood.
In his play "The Climbers," which the
Woodward Stock company la presenting
this week at the Burwood, Clyde Fitch
gives his audience a sermon on the hol
lowneas of social ambition within the cir
cle of the so-called American aristocracy.
His arraignment of the shallow affecta
tions of Mrs. Hunter Is almost too severe
and too serious to be called cynical, and
the tragic outcome would prevent its Do
ing csHed a satire. The play is a strong
one and It was well handled last night
with Albert Morrison and Miss Hill In the
positive roles.
The attempt of Mrs. Hunter and her son-in-law,
Dick Sterling, to be "ollmbers," the
former socially and the latter In specula
tion, forms the basis cf the story. - The
first scene, which Is supposed to fellow
the funeral of Mr. Hunter, discloses the
mask which has been worn by tho widow,
who measures grief by the width of the
mourning veil. Clear through the play the
false Ideals of the climbers are held up to
scorn. The strong dramatic feature Is
found In the Uve of Mrs. Sterling for Ned
Warden, the natural outcome of neglect
and the discovery of - her husband's un-
worthlnesa. Mr. Morrison ha the 'part of
Warden, which gives him fair possibilities.
Mr. Hartford does exceedingly well In the
role of Sterling. Mr. Soofield, as the
namby-pamby Trotter, who marries tho
Widow Hunter, furnishes a vein of light
ness through the heavier parts. Miss Hill.
as Mrs. Sterling. . has a place calling for
the talents she has often displayed. Miss
Hudson Is particularly effective In Inter
preting tho affectations of the would-be
social leader. The support , is uniformly
good. v
A snowstorm scene in the third act fur
nishes possibilities In staging which Mr,
Hartford has well taken care of. Tho
other acts also call for careful attention to
scenic effects, and nothing has been left
undone.
"The Climbers" will be presented the en

"I'ader Boater Skies" at tho Kras
Those who ' like the atmosphera of - the
south, with Its roses and jasmine, its cour
tesy and chivalry. Its fair women . and
brave men, may well spend two hours at
the Krug In enjoyment of "Under Southern
Skies." which began a two nights' en
gagement last evening. Maybe it was the
day, but more likely It was the play, that
brought out a full house the first night
The evident pleasure of the audience was
such aa to cause the belief it was the play.

through fear, to marry an unwelcome

of Major-Orof ton, is beloved by Burleigh

that of the daughter, and both appear to

SEASONABLE FASHIONS.
Twa-Tear Resldeaeo Ralo Woald
veat Nebraska Coorta from Becom
ing Meeeas of Seekers After'
Legal Separations.
The three bills relating to divorce which
have been Introduced into the state senste
by Senator King are supported by a num
ber of Omaha people who believe the di
vorce laws of Nebraska should be re
formed. The bills carry out the recom
mendations of the Uniform Divorce con
gress held In the east Inst fall and are
based on model bills drawn by that con
gress. One of the changes proposed which would
be felt especially In Omaha Is the provis
ion requiring two years' residence In the
state before a divorce can bo secured, ex
cept under certain conditions. . This would
It Is believed, effectively prevent divorce
colonies, which have become more or less
notorious In several western states.
Another feature which meets the approval
of Judges of the district court Is a provis
ion requiring the attendance pf an at
torney appointed by the court to represent
the state lit default cases, and to see that
no improper advantage Is taken of the ab
sent party. ' This, It Is believed, would pre
vent much 'of the fraud sometimes prac
ticed in default cases. The bill also pro
vides the court may grant a "divorce nisi,
which' does not become effective for a year
after It Is entered. This would prevent
hasty marriages after divorces, and In case
of reconciliation could be set aside before
It became absolute.
Three Kinds of Decree.
The bill recognises three kinds of de
crees. First the annullment of tho mar
riage because of conditions whloh would
Invalidate It. These decrees may be is
sued because of lmpotency at time of mar
riage, bigamy, fraud, force or coercion, In
sanity unknown at time of marriage, or
where the husband was under 18 or the
wife under 16 at the time of the marriage,
unless the marriage Is confirmed after
reaching the proper age.
Divorce decrees under the bill may be
absolute from the bond of matrimony or
from bed and board. Absolute divorce may
be granted for adultery, bigamy, conviction
of felony, extreme cruelty, desertion of two
years and habitual drunkenness. Divorce
from bed and board may be granted for
these causes and for the additional one of
Insanity of the husband. Insanity of ths
wife Is not a cause for divorce. The rules
relating to procedure are much more strin
gent than under the present law.
Companion bills require the collection and
tabulation of statistics relating to marriage
and divorce. The divorce congress . issued
a report last fall In which It urged the
adoption by the states of these laws In or
der that the laws of the several states
might be made more uniform and stringent
Senator Thomas' bill to allow street rail
way companies to build Interurban lines
passed the senate by a large majority and
will soon come up In the house for a vote.
This bill affects Omaha more than any
other place. Directors of the Omaha A
Council Bluffs Street Railway company say
they have made no effort to have the bill
passed, as there is no money to bo made
by them in building Interurban lines from
Omaha for the next ten years. They main
tain the lines would be an expense for that
time and then some adverse legislation
might cut down the fares until . nothing
could he made. - It Is reported from Lincoln
that the opposition of the railroads to this
bill was so strong It aroused the Ire of
some of the legislators and they determined
to pass the bllL

VIENNA, Feb. IT. (8pccial.) The Vtesna
police, with' the assistance of the police
of most other capitals, have prepared a
"gamblers' Index" containing the names
of the great professional gamblers and
card sharpers of Europe. This Index Is In
the form of a small lithographed book
and It has now been sent to the authorities
of all of the large cities and health re
sorts of Europe.
It contains more than 1,000 names, among
which are a number of high sounding titles,
such as prince, marquis and count. Most
I of these titles are, of course, self-assumed.
but some are genuine.
To each name a personal description
and some biographical details are attached
and a reference to the particular methods
and tricks employed, such as railway card
sharper, billiards, playing dark, false cards,
card sharping with accomplices, etc.
