(From Our Special Omaha Correspondent.)
In ran M ca Id without fear of contradic
tion that tin branch of underwriting has
ahown greater development In tho last
decade than the various kinds of casualty
. and surety Inaurance. While Some of these
lines have been undertaken In European
countries for the last fifty years or more
It waa not until the year 1803 that casualty
Inatiranru was regularly Introduced Into
this country.
The departments Into which tho business
la usually divided are liability, boiler, acci
dent and health, plate Kluss, surety, fidel
ity, burglary and credit. Tho magnitude
of the business can be appreciated when It
la stated that In America alone the pre
mluma aggregato more than $."8,i00,000 an
nually, and the losses and expenses of
management exceed the sum of $54,010,000
a year. Upwards of sixty companies In
America alone, uro transacting one or more
of the different casualty and surety lines
many companies transact from six to
iv?ive Kinus.
Tho operations of some of these com
panies extend throughout America and
Europe and Involve the employment of
thousands of agents, attorneys, adjusters
and physicians. Scores of policy forms
and contracts are Issued, many of them
exceedingly Intricate and technical, and all
of them subject to frequent changes to
meet the ever varying conditions of com-
..tclal life, as well as to comply with
me decisions ui me cuuris anu con
form to tho statutes of the different states
and countries whose legislative bodies are
constantly enacting new measures or
changing existing laws.
One of the most recent and Important
additions to the list of such institutions Is
the National Fidelity and Casualty com
pany of Omaha, Neb., whose home offices
are in the Merchants National bank build
ing This corporation, organized under the
laws of Nebraska In September last with a
paid up capital of (100,000, and under a
broad and liberal charter It is empowered
to write accident, fidelity, surety and
burglary Insurance. It Is the first company
ever organised In Nebraska to write these
various classes of Insurance. It holds
membership In the Nebraska Bankers' as
sociation. It reports as officers and direc
tors the following gentlemen: Hon. Charles
F. Manderson, president; Charles M. Wll
helm, vice president; Edwin T. Swobe,
secretary and manager; John B. Ruth,
treasurer, and Harry 8. Byrne, assistant
secretary. Director I -E. A. Cudahy, F. P.
Klnkendull, C. M. Wllhclm, F. A. Nash, ll.
H. Baldrlge, John B. Ruth, C. J. Bills,
Hon. J. H. Millard and E. T. Swobe.
As the reader can see, this is an excep
tionally strong body of men, and It is not
t all to be wondered at that, under such
control, rapid progress should be the order
of the day with the company. The Hon.
Charles F. Manderson, the president of the
company, was formerly United States sena
tor from Nebraska, and Is now general
counsel for the Burlington system. He Is
one of the most accomplished members of
the Nebraska bar and Is looked up to and
respected by everybody.
Vice President Charles M. Wllhelm Is
also president of the Omaha Commercial
club, and Is a man who has done much for
Omaha In various ways.
Mr. John B. Ruth, the treasurer, was
formerly manager for Nebraska for the
Standard Oil company, and Is a man of
high repute In the community.
Mr. Edwin T. Swobe, tho secretary and
manager of the company, was the moving
spirit in Its formation. He is regarded as
one of the ablest and beat posted under
writers of the present day, as wall as one
of the most popular, personally speaking.
Mr. Harry S. Byrne, formerly general
agent of tho Fidelity and Deposit company
of Maryland, Is assistant secretary and
manager of the surety department. Mr.
Byrne Is a young man of recognized ability
and will undoubtedly make, a record as
manager of this dcpurlment. Ho has a
wide and valuable aciiiaintancu and Is well
spoken of by everybody.
The Hon. J. 11. Millard, president of the
Omaha National bank of Omaha, and
formerly I'nlted Slates Benatnr from Ne
braska, has recently become u member
of the board of directors of this com
pany, and adds greatly to Ha strength.
Mr. E. A. 1'tidahy, above, as cne of the
directors. Is also vice president and mana
ger of the Cudahy Tacking company In
Omaha.
Mr. H. H. Bakli-lne. la one of the fore
most lawyer In Omaha. Col. C. J. Bills
1 In the banking business at Lincoln, Neb.,
Mr. F. P. Klrliend ill is president of the
V. V. Kirkendall company of Omaha. In
short, this company has as strong a
board of directors as was ever gotten to
gether in Nebraska.
It Is organized on it busts (hat Is both

character and ability of the gentlemen who
are Identified therewith. , and It may be
predicted as a forgone conclusion that the
career of this coietany will be one of
decided success from tho outset, and thai
It will siK'cdlly tak. rank among tho fore

Solemn Ceremonies of Holy Week
Turning the Tables.
When E. I.. Oodkin was editor of tin New
York Evening Post lie was supposed by
many to luck a sense of humor. Hut those
In Ida employ who :ood close to him knew
better. One morning he sent for bis young
city editor.
"Last night," said Mr. Oodkin. '-1 read In
the I'ot an account of the suicide of a
boy. Your news paragraph reported as the
motive that the boy was being resisted at
home in a premature inclination to marry.
Mr. Blank, car. you Imagine how that father
felt when you accused him, fur what was
no dout done in a sense of loving duty, of
being the cause vt the death of his child?"
The young editor stammered an apology.
"Thank you for your explanation," said
Oodkin. "but," he went on in a more de
cided tone, "if anything like that ever hap
pen again, I give you fair warning, air,
that I will leave this paper: I Hill not
work for a paper that says things o
cruel!" oucevs Magazine.

OLY WEEK, or the week befor
Kaster, ha been known by dlf
ferent names, according to the
great mysteries and various
ceremonle that are celebrated
and performed In It. The Greeks
and Latins called It the Great Week, th
Holy Week; sometime the Talnful Week,
I. ., the Week of Austerities, also the
Sorrowful Week. St Chrysoatom say
"We call it the Great Week, not that It
consist of a greater number of day, or
that the day In It are longer, but on ac
count of the great things which God ha
wrought In It, for on these day was ths
tyranny of the devil overthrown, death
disarmed, sin and Its curse taken away,
heaven opened and made accessible and
men made fellow with the angels."
The observance of Holy week Is men
tioned by Irenaeus towards the end of the
second century, while Kuseblus evidently
believed that it dated from th apostolic
times.
The chief object of the church In thl
week Is to celebrate the passion and death
of its Redeemer, and .tho ceremonies are
the most elaborate, Impressive, dramatic
and subllmely symbolic of all the weeks
In the whole year. In cathedral and col
legiate churches, where they have a nu
merous clergy, they are performed with
a pomp and magnlficance truly Imposing;
but even in the smallest parish church,
where there Is a local pastor, they are
conducted with all the reverence and sol
emnity possible.
Palm Sunday.
Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy
week, derive it nam from the ceremony
of blessing and distributing palms, which
are borne by the clergy in solemn proces
sion, in commemoration of Christ's tri
umphal entry into Jerusalem, when many
of the Jew cut down branches from the
tree and strewed them In the way before
Him. The name Palm Sunday is ancient,
for It is mentioned In the life of Euthy
mlus, who died In 472.
The clergy walk In procession through
the church and pass out Into the vestibule.
Then the cantor re-enter and sing tho
hymn, "Glory, Praise and Honor," which
Is continued alternately by those within
and without. At last the subdeacon
knocks at the door with the shaft of the
cross; it opens and the whole body march
up through the church. In St. Peter's
the door Is walled up with masonry, from
which the supports are removed, so that
at the stroke of the cross the whole thing
topple down and the procession enters
through the breach, symbolizing Christ
opening heaven to the Just after His res
urrection.
Then comes the singing of the passion,
from the gospel of St. Matthew. This Is
one of the masterpieces of Gregorian chant,
and might almost be described as an
oratorio. It consists of four principal
parts, that of the narrator, sung by bari
tone; the parts of Pilate, Peter, the maid
servants and others being taken by a tenor;
the part of Christ by a full, round bass;
and tlve "Turba," or Jewish mob, I often
rendered with fine effect by a male chorus
In three of four-part harmony.
Extlnarnlahlna; the Light.
Tenebrae, ao called from the darkness
caused by the gradual extinguishing of the
lights, consist of the matins and lauds of
the following days, which are recited or
chanted on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day evenings. But every note of Joy 1k
omitted the doxology, the hymn and the
antlphon. The service breathes hardly
anything but sighs and lamentations. Tho
lessons are taken from the Lamentations
of Jeremiah; the Hebrew letter, which be
gins each verse of these acrostic poems,
being retained in the Latin, though not the
acrostic itself. Nothing could be more
beautiful than the plaintive Gregorian
chant to which they are sung Still, Palos
trlna, Victoria, Nanino, Witt, Ptel and
many other masters, have exhausted their
genius in the attempt to clothe these melo
dies with polyphonic harmonies.
Fourteen yellow candle and one of white
wax at the top are arranged on a trian
gular candlestick, symbolizing the lights of
faith preached by the prophets and Christ,
of which the trinity 1 the fundamental
doctrine. At the end of each psalm n can
dle la extinguished, till only the top one,
representing Christ is left. During the
singing of the last six verses of the Bene
dictus the six tall candles on the altar are
extinguished. Then the fifteenth candle is
removed and hidden behind the high altar,
while the Miserere I solemnly recited, and
the church I wrapped In darkness; sug
gesting the darkness which covered the
earth at the death of Christ.
For a moment profound silence reigns,
then there Is a sudden clapping oud closing
of books, reminding us of the confusion of
nture at the loss of It author, when the
earth trembled, the rock wer rent, the
grave opened and the veil of the temple
wa torn from the top to the bottom. At
the same moment the candle la brought
out still lighted, to aignlfy, according to
r.enedlct XIV, that death could not really
gain dominion over Christ, though It ap
peared to. The sermon is preened, and all
retire.
Mas on Holy Thursday.
On Holy Thursday the mourning of the
church over the paaslon and death of her
Lord. Is momentarily Interrupted, for It
cannot forget that, on this day. Christ In
stituted the Holy Euehariat. and left It the
priceless legacy of the real presence,
though, to show her gratitude, she had
appointed the featlval of Corpus Christl to
be kept In June, the month of ros. when
It can do greater Justice to the subject.
Hence the mass Is celebrated lu white
vestments, the altar Is decked with flowers
and ornaments, at the "Gloria In Excels!."
the organ Is played and the bells are rung;
but. from this time till the recurrence of
the Gloria on Holy Saturday, the ornan Is
silent: the dull thud of tho clappers re
places the aound of the bells, and the kiss
of peace la omitted. Two bests are conse
crated on this day; one being consumed
as usual by the celebrant, and the other if
carried In solemn procession7 to the Altar of
Repose, during' the sieging of the "Pang
Lingua, (Sing. O My Tongue), wlirr -remains,
surrounded by lights and flowers
till the following morning. Mediaeval writ
ers connect this procession with Christ''
Journey to the Mount of Olive. ,
Next, the high altar la stripped, as Chris
waa stripped of Ills garments. In many
churches the ceremony cr washing the feet
Is performed, In Imitation of Christ wand
lug the feet of Ilia disciples, when He gave
the new command to love one mother. In
Rome the pope washes the feet of thirteen
poor priest, while Francis Joseph of Aus
tria and several other Catholic sovereign
perform a similar ceremony. The Council
of Toledo, held In Kit, refer to this rlt
aa a recognised custom even at that time.
Finally, In cathedral churches tho bishop
on this day blesses the holy oils, for use
In conferring the sacraments of confirma
tion, holy orders and extreme unction.
errleea of Uood Friday
On Good Friday the climax of the
church' sorrow and grief at the death of
her Lord Is reached. Her minister enter
tho sanctuary clad In black vestments
and prostrate themselves, full length, on
the step of the altar, while a single linen
cloth Is spread over it. Then the history
of th Passion of Our Lord, according to
St. John, I sung, showing how tho law
and the prophets were verified by the
gospel.
Then the celebrant read numerous pray
er for all classes of persons, not excluding
schismatics, heretics, Jews and pagans, to
show that Christ died for all. The genu
flection is omitted before the prayer for
tho Jews, out of detestation for the feigned
obeisance with which they mocked Christ,
their "King."
Next, the cross, which has been veiled In
black, is slowly uncovered; tho priest and
his assistants singing three times: "Behold
tho wood of the cross, on which hung the
salvation of the world," and the choir an
swering each time: "Come, let us"ador."
The uncovered crucifix Is then laid on the
steps of the altar, and the clergy, after
having removed their shoes, like Mose be
fore the "burning bush," and made three
genuflections and prostrations, humbly kiss
the lifelike image of the Redeemer.
During thl ceremony tho Improper la or
Reproaches are sung by two choirs alter
nately; repeating, after each verse, the
Trlsaglon (three times, Holy). Th first
word are: "My people, what have X don
to thee, or In what have I offended thee?
Answer me. Because I brought the out
of the land of Egypt, thou hast prepared
a cross for thy Savior." Palestrlna and
others have set these words to beautiful
music, which may be heard in many
churches on this day. In many churches
relics of the true crots are exposed today.
Good Friday Is the only day of all the
year that mass Is not celebrated through
out the world. Instead, there Is what ' is
called the Mass of the Presanctlfled. Th
host, consecrated the day before, I brought
back from th Altar of iHtepoee in solemn
procession, the choir singing: "Vexilla
Regis;" "Behold, the royal banners fly."
The candles are lighted, the host Incensed
and held aloft for the faithful to adore,
and then consumed by the celebrant. Ves
pers are said, the altar Is again stripped,
the door of the empty tabernacle Is thrown
wide open and the service Is ended.
Relighting Sthe Church.
On Holy Saturday the service begins with
the blessing of the new fire struck from a
flint. From this' a triple candla Is lighted,
symbolizing the Trinity and the Light of
Christ. It Is carried In procession from the
vestibule of the church to tho sanctuary.
The large Paschal candle Is also blessed,
being a symbol of Christ, the light of the
world, and five grains of incense are fixed
In it, in memory of His five wounds, and
of the spices with which He was anointed
In the tomb. It is lighted from the triple
candle. The use of the Paschal candle
dates back at least to the fifth century.
The Exultet, a hymn of triumphant praise,
attributed by the crltio Martina to St.
Augustln, is sung while blessing the candle.
The 'twelve prophecies are then read; in
tended originally to Instruct the catechu
mens, who were baptized on this day. The
baptismal font and Easter water are
blessed, some of the water being scattered
towards the four quarters of the earth, to
show the catholicity of the church, and the
worldwide efflcay of her sacraments.
Returning from the font, the Litany of
the Saints Is sung, the ministers lying pros
trate before the altar, while It is decked
with flowers and ornaments, and the mass
Is begun in white vestments. At the Gloria
the organ sound, the bells ring, the Joyful
alleluias are heard after the Epistle, and
the great festival of Easter, with Its tri
umph of life over death, la Joyfull ush
ered in.

WHAT IS A LODGE GOAT?
A Mlasoarlan Tackles the Mythical
Butter and Kscapea l
banned.
If there la no "goaf in the ritual of the
lodge then the lodge is not responsible for
"goats," extraneous or foreign, Introduced
by the members for the purpose of bright
ening up a rather dull and somber cere
monial of Initiation. So a Missouri court
has decided in the case of a litigant who
sued the lodge for damages because of a
terrific blow he received in the back. The
members who interpolated the goat are
responsible and no other, but as the new
member in most lodges is blindfolded, hi
remedy at law 1 doubtful. Most persons
of lively mind would prefer soma devia
tion, even horseplay, to the platitudtnouslty
of usual secret society ritual. We do not
know but that we should rather like a
collision with a goat if it would liven things
up a bit. Fortunate Is the lodge of any
description that has an officer of real elo
quence for this tedious post for he can
often make a very ordinary composition
quite Inspiring. The goat Is the refuge of
lodgo members who realise that some
living interest must be injected into th
proceeding somehow. "Goaf ia merely
an Intellectual artifice, a "x" ia In math
ematics, to represent an unknown quan
tity. It may mean anything except a real
goat. It "x" represent a bottle of seltzer,
(or instance, which Is squirted into tho
blindfolded candidate's face on his answ r-
lug a certain question. Tlio bottle of scltxcr !
Is the goat or it may be only one of the
fractional parts. Tho oilier parts may be
a shampoo with' sho- bloc king, walking
a tight rnpe across an abyss ( three feet
above the floor), leaping hurdles (Imagin
ary), tho oilier trials of the nerves and
temper, all of which, If you bear with
equunltnliy and good humor, makes you a
'good lndirin" and worthy to become a
ueniber of the lodge. Never wince at a
lodge goat; but all lodge goat should be
tempered with discretion. St. I.ouis Globe
