& —— PLEADING FOR PROHIBITION. Bam Jones Talks Anti-Whiskey to a Half- Frozen Half-Thousand. PERSONAL LIBERTY ADVOCATES. They Belong to the Devil's Ohain Gang--The Science of the Heart ~Last Night's Sermon— Stop Drinking. Sam's Small Audience and Talk, There were about five hundred people in the exposition building last evening at the Sam Jones revival meeting, The number wade bt a small speck in the vast auditorinm. The building was chiily and the presence of but a few ladies ren- dered the place doubly uninviting. I'ne fomale choir of last choir was ab sent from the stage, and inits place was ar! 4 & number ‘of young men, who did their best to assist in the musienl ex ercises Mr. Maxwell, the gentleman who has been conducting the musical exer did not make an early appearance, absence was oceasioned by fatigue and honrsencss, and in his stead was Mr. Ex- cell, whose conduct of the musical fea- tures differed from Mr. Maxwell’s in that it appealed more felicitiously to the meagre aggregation of worshippers. An indefinite number of hymns were sung, some of which were rendered by the cho vl others by the audience. Thes had about the same number of clergymen as it contained Monday night. Mr. Joplin, sceretary of the Y. M. C. A, made an appeal to the audience to con tribute in the collection so liberally that the amount realized might put to shame the larger andienees which had earlier in the week contributed so meage to the revival fund. Mr. Will Tabor presided at the organ with his usual skill, and rendered in valuable service to the vocal exercises, Me. Sam’l Jones at length appc e looked even more fatigued t did on the preceding evening. In speak- ing ho pted his voice to the size of the audience which he was addressing. When he raised It beyond strength necessary to be heard by those farthest from him on the floor, he showed in a slight manner the effect of over-exertion and a shght cold. e spoke as follows: I believe God will bless a_conuregation of people who will come ont through such weather s this on suel a night. Tdon’tbelieve there is a man who walks the carth that 1 would have gone out such a night as this to hear him preach, 1 am surprised to sce so many here such a night, and now let us enter into this service to be biessed by this s Surely we will not come out through the storin and snow of this night without a bless- Ing from God, and we invite your attention to thess words: “If any man will do 1Tis will e shall know ot the doctrine, whether it be of God or whether I speak of myself.” These were the words of the Lord Jesus when he was surrounded by the sharp, shrewd Phari- sees and the cunning, caleals duces, and the learned dottors of the law., They were questioning him, they were probing him, they were cting evel ulterance ~ of - his Bit Jesus, kuowing their thoughts and knowiug their doubts, said, “1f any man will do the will of God he shall know of the doctrine,” He threw the cauntiet down at their feet and challenged them to the test. Now all other sciences arc learned with the head. The sci- ence of astronowry, the science of astrolozy, the seience of and the scienee of mathematic sciences are learned with the hiead, but the scienee of Christeruct- fiedis a SCIENOE OF THT: NEART, I grant you this much. In any age a man who proclaimed any swonderful “truth to the world met with opposition. When Galileo discovered that this world rotated on its axis he was arraigned and convieted and pub- Lished to the world us the vreatest heretic of the age, and yet, as he vetracted and walked out f aigust budy, he said, “And yet the world rolls on.’” " And to-day 1 be- very luman being in thiseivilized land ves in Galileo's doctrine except the Rev. Mr. Jaspar, of Richmond, Virzinia, and he cligs 15 it that ' the “sin - do move.” L suppose he is the only hu- wan being in America 1t that _doos not belicve m Gatileo and his grand discov ery. Whon Watts discovered that steam had power unlimited he was arraigned at the bar of Iamburg, tried and convicted as one of e greatest heretics of the world, And yet when Fulton constructed his engine, or St enson, and the engine was ired up until the gauge'indieated 0 many pounds of steam, and tho engineer pulleil the throttle open and the engi ushed off, the iniid vorld looking on sa “Itis true, it s true, Wihen Harvey discovered that the blood circulatéd from the heart to the extremities and back again, men said the earth m tate, there may be power in steam, but | a man who tells ns that the blood circulates from the heart to the extremities and back again. And they tried him and convieted Nim us one of the world's greatest hereties, And yet today as soon as A phy- Bleian “walks into my sick room he his finger on my pulse and tolls ture of my discase and determines m; sickness by the taotion of my pulse. We re gard arvey today as one of the world's grandest diseoverers, When Morse discovered that hie eould sit a hundred miles from a friend and hold a pri- vate conversation with him on a wiro with one huadred miles intorvening, then intidel ity looked on aud sald the carth dovs and blood does circulate, and_there is power in steain, but Lere 1s a man who tells us thathe ean tallcto'a friend one hundred miles distant from him. And he was ralgned and convicted ws one of the world’s arandest humbugs. And these is not a little boy now in town but that knows that hie can %0 into the Western Union office in this city and hold mversation with a wan sitting ity of Liverpool or Lon- All opposition to these grand discov- S s died away long ago. But Jesus, eighiteen hundred years ago MADE TIli: GEAND DISCOVERY that his blood could ¢ from sin_and his crace could save and that hood hins been washing the nations for eigh- teon hundred years. And yet to-day there are as many inlidels in the world as there were in any age of the world's history. Why IS Lhis? ILinvolves something more tian the mere agreeing that there is power stean, at the ticker in the don, that there 1s trath i blood” eirculating, that there is truth in the ides of the ing. YUVS otute And a man can belleve that, and drink aud tell all the lies, and have 4 s as e pleases, but whe N believes that Jesus Chnst’s precio blood saves him from sin, he eannot drin any more whisky, and he cannot tell any more les, and he'cannot eheat his neighbors aud defriwd his ereditors. You say that faith in Jesus Christ precludoes'the Ldea, and 1 say if the beliet in the truth of the science ot mathematies involved the fact that you eould not drink any whisky, there would be hun dreds “of people in” Omabia to-night who would “not beliove in the science of iematics.

You never heard of a person asking for the liberty to sell whisky. e wants o license to sell whisky, Did you ever hiear of a honse of ill-fame wanting Tib- erty to run the h No; they alwa want a license. License means I want you erant me t ower to do wrong: liberty 1s the power to do right, When we con- found those two words we have made a_mis- take that may cost us our souls. We liave made a mistake as lonz as eternity, The privilege to do right, that is liberty, 1 was talking to a man _some time ago. He eaid, “Jones, 1 ama free man,” "“Well,” €aid T, “1 will tell you, if you had walked up and sianped me or my jaw, and carsed meto my face, and gone along and staid sober and your family and done right, I tho! t ten tines ps much of you as 1 do, but you haye gone with a_boot- heel and stamped the life out of your Tieart and the blood ot of your Tamily, about freedom.

Civil liberty means nothing more than that T have given up certain rights, that L am enjoy- ing a liberty that brings cood to the people. But no man can do a thing that wrongs so- ciety without first getting the license, but 1 vlame you for givine them the license.’ Sup- pose we had & mayor and alde in this city of Omnha, and the mayor two sons ch alderman had two sons, and sup. posea bur keeper was to come up and say, “Mr. mayor, you and the alderman T will give youa $1,000 apicee for a license to de- baueh your ten boys.” The mayvor and alder- man of thistown would kick that man out of ard meeting, You come here and of a $10,000 to make a_drunk; it of my boy and ruin him foreve Why, sir, it is an insult; every license they grant is for the privilege of DAMNING SOME BOY 1N TOWN. It may be some mother's boy or some father's boy, and it may be perchanee their own ehildren will be swept off with the fear- ful tide, 1 say that ehristianity not only de- mands that you assent to things that are true butit also demands that you give up the things that ehristianity condemns and come like a wan and share the beneits of the atonement of Jesus Christ. A wan is a chirisiian just in proportion as he assents to the truth of the atonement and lives himself up to the truth of the atonement. Now, hore isa grand proof, It has got more witnesses to-day to the truth of its own pewer to save than every other proposition in the universe. Look at the millions to-day, look at the two hundred millions that stand up and ay that the biood of Chiist has power o save sinners, 1t has 1 'm by the millions.

The Comn geons Makes Its Report, The physicians and surgeons, selected by the county commissioners to report upon the sanitary features of the plans presented by the competing architects, for the new county hospital met Monday night and unanimously recommended the plan presented by Mr. Cochran, of Chicago, as worthy of first place; that of Mendelssohn, Fisher & Lawrie, of this city, second place, and that of Mr.Meyers of Detroit, third pace The plans of Mr. John Cochran, of Chicago, and Mendelssohn, Fisher & Lawrie, of Omaha, both contemplate what is called the pavillion style in hos pital construetion, the chief features of which are wide extension of the different wards, isolation of the patients and the freest use of sunlight thronghout. Both of these plans are drawn for a long frontage, with the insane asylum in one wing, and the surgical and medieal boards n the other, and the administra- tion building, with rooms and oflices for doctors and attendants, in the center. In each, the kitchenis separated from the hospital proper. Each has a maternity ward, where lying-in cases can be treated away from the noise of other portions of the building, and in each, accommodations are aflorded for sur; demonstrations and elinical reatment of interesting cases, Cochran's plan, which has heen led the first choice by the board of physicians and surgeons, is a moditi tion of the plans used in the Cook count and the Michael Reese hospitals of Chi- eago, which are admittedly the most modern, west, Mr. Cochran’s v the immediato construction wards, radiating like fingers 1 from the frontline of the struet joined to a corridor running p: convenient and best built in the 1, contemplates of three 1886, the front, to which, by Cxtension, ns many more wards can be added in the future_as the necessitics of tie | connty may demand. The special sanitary features of Mr. Cochiran’s plan are the system of heating by indirect radiation, the system of ven- nd the ample made by which sunlight ward atall hours of the da chiteetural appearance Mr. Cochran’s plan is somewhat inferior to that of Men- delssohn, Fisher & Lawrie, the latter, by reason of its more broken roof-line and central tower, being more picturesque and pleasing to the eye. Many of the excellent features of Mr. Cochran’s design, which, it may be are common to all the best ho: the day, are reproduced in the Messrs. Mendelssohn, Fisher which receives second place i of the physicians and surgeons. From an architectural point of view, the Mendelssohn plan is decidedly su- perior to any presented. The massing of the connected buildings and the conjunc- tion _of the broken-line roofs, are artis- tically designed, while the features of the mterior arrangement are in aline with modern ideas and planned after some of the best modeled “hospitals of the east. Had Mes Mendelssohn, Fisher and Lawric been aware that the board was willing to expend $100,000 more than the amount called for by their plan they would doubtless have been able to mod- ify the details, sa to make 1t cqual to the best presented. As it vils, it stood easily superior to all the designs offered except the one selected, which re- quires the expenditure of nearly doublo the amount for which the Mendelssohn plan can be built. The design for a hos. pital presentea by E. E. Meyers, of De- troit, is n sightly and mmposing pile, the ehief feature of which 15 that it is abso- Iutely fire-proof throughout. Other de- Is are saerificed to this all-important consideration. The plar olf is commo- dions but seems to lnck the featuro of iso- plan & Lawrie, n the ion of the insanc asylum from the hospi portion to which more attention s paid by othe iiteets. With this” exception, Mr. Meyers' plan is an excellent one for the money. i Lthe amount which the commissioners were willing to expend heen more detinitely known, it is probuble that there would have been less room for differences of opinion on the part of the judges between the plan of My, Meyers and other of his competitors. '§ will not be honnd by a decision of the advisory board of phvsicians and surgeons, but it is pro- bable that the opinion of the latter will The commission have great weight in making up the final verdict. Whatever plan of the three recommended is adopted, Douglas connty will be 1n possession of one of th finest, most complete and handsomest hospilals in the country.

He called b and putting his prisoner in started for the county jail. At the cory Tenth and:Harney the ecnbman turned to go up Harney street when the gontle zephyr that was bowling along in that vicinity caught the cab and, «tter toying with it a few seconds, turned it upsido down in a snow drift, The sherif} and his prisoner pulled themselves out of the crush unhurt. The sherf began helping the cabman to get his vehic in shape and did hot notice Kelman, who made the most of his_op portunity and started on a dash for free dom. He was handeufled, however, and only made a short run before he brought up in aditeh filled with snow and found the sherifl’ right after him. He gave up and was led to jail.
