SOCIETY'S WORK HAS SCOPE Boston rnlillsher of Society Organ Urges Members to Carry Influ ence of OrftnnUatlon Out side Chnrcli. The Omaha delegates to the Christian Endeavor Societies' convention that was held In Beatrice last week met Monduy night In the North Presbyterian church at Twenty-fourth and Wirt streets. Also there were friends' of tho delegates prcs nt, and between them a very pleasant evening was spent In recounting their victory, chanting their yells, singing thotr "rooting" songs and In listening to A. J. Bhartle ot Boston and Rev. H. If. R6ttman of Portland, Ore. It was what they termed an "echo" meeting ot tho convention at Beatrice. Mr. Bhartle ot Boston is publishing manager for- the' World Wide Christian Endeavor, "lie gave a talk on" 'the work of Chris tjan Endeavorers and pointed 'out means by which the society may do greater good. - "I Would not belong to a Christian En deavor society If Its, work ended at the close of the prayer meeting," he said, In part, "f would not belong to such an organization If It hierely met once every so often Just 'to moot and to be met. Un less there Is some good done to others outside the society, If the work ends at the final dismissal and the members go home, finish out the week and come rack for tne meeting without, haying accom plished anything, I should be wasting my time. Praises Orlirtnnllty. "At the door you ji.ro given a printed slip of paper. At a given time you are asked.lt yqu have ariythlng to say. You look at the paper and read what is printed there, sit down and wait for the next 6ne tp read. You simply repeat the product ot another's brain. Why not come prepared with, something you thought ot yourself?- Why not throw a little more, life ntd these meetings and then accomplish something outside the meeting?" Rev. If. II. Rottman then spoke of the good that has been accomplished by the society, He gave a vlyid' illustration by recounting a story of an English regi ment, serving' in the Boer war, and how almost the entire regiment formed itself Into a Christian Endeavor society. "At a certain battle volunteers were called for in the night to- scale a prec Iplce," he said, in part, "behind which the Boers were entrenched. The object was to fjnd the condition of the country beyond tho entrenchment As the volun teers for this" dangerous task passed the camp someone said, '1M,' a little later someone said, 'SOO.' Now, 1H' and '300' wero the numbers .of songs in their books, and the men went away humming church hymns on a mission that seemed certain death. But they returned to camp In safety and were ready In the morning for the attack.'.' Culls from the Wire Former Mayor Walter A. Flint of Last Orange. N.

AFFAIRS AT SODTH OMAHA City Council Turn Down Disorderly House Ordinance.

The disorderly house ordinance was a neatly devised little scheme for extract ing the teeth of the Slocumb law, which makes It mandatory for the police board to take away the license ot a saloonman who breaks tho liquor laws of the state. The Slocumb law or the Albert law has never caused any one In South Omaha to I sit up at night with worry, But Mayor j Hoctor a week ago explained that the disorderly house ordinance made It pos sible to "fine " out of the saloon I keeper who tipped the lid and yet saved nis license. ine pmiwru uiuiucn.v house ordinance was expected to catch the worklngman who might be caught In the saloon after hours and fine him to gether with the lawbreaktng aloon keeper, John Tralnor was appointed plumbing inspector at a salary of 1W a month.

Accord ing to Mr. Graham several of the families having the contagion In their home have sent children to school without going through a fumigating process.

Superintendent Oraham said yesterday evening; "Wo need the as sistance of the health authorities to en force the laws of quarantine and sanita tion in d?allng with these diseases. The school authorities are doing all In their power to keep out children exposed to contagion, but the health authorities should look to the quarantine and sani tation laws and their enforcement at the homes of some of the children."
