Doctor Ellis isn’t at all pleased with his trip to Omaha and thinks that city is too unruly. As a sample of the way they “'do up people” over the river the doctor refers to his Saturday trip. As he was on his way to the depot in a Farnam street car on his return to Council Bluffs two men somewhat under the influence of liquor occupied the rear platform and 88 4 young man jumpea onto the car he accidentally stepped onto one of their feet. He apologized but that did not Batisty the insulted indiyidual so he hit him a crack that sent him against the car window and into the street. He then ~ went towards the front platform and was followed by the drunken man's friend. The car was full of Iadies, and only three men were in it. ‘The ladies became frightened and scrambled out of the car as did two of the men. The man who was knocked oft the car again jumped on and just as Doc- tor Ellis had fnt the broken glass from the window shook off, he received a blow in the head from the feilow’s fist. The fellow then made for the front platform after his assailant and away they skipped over the dashboard leaving Dr. Ellis the only occupant of the car. et Sherraden is still making cabinet pho- at per doz., best finish.

The Laying of the Corner Stone of St. Francis Xavier's Ohurch, FATHER NUGENT'S SERMON. The Boatmen Preparing For Sport— Sunday Sundries Gathered For the Bee Readers, Laying the Corner Stone. The event of yesterday of the corner stone of the new Cathol church. 'The ceremonies took place y terday afternoon. The procession formed at the old Catholic church on Pearl street with its head resting on Fifth avenue. It countermarched up Pearl stree to Willow avenue, along that avenue to Sixth street, down Sixth stract to the corner of Fifth avenue, where the new church is to be built, marched clear around the block and then was dismissed in front of the church. ‘The procession was composed of the Ancient Order of Hibernians band, of Omuaha, which played y nicely; two divisions of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, of Omaha; the arious societies of this city, the A, O. H., Patrick’s Benevole Cutholie ipils of the deademics, vas the laying ie v the e St Kningts, the the members of the congregation and' other Th r crowd to witness tl ing of the corner stone, The core- monies were in accordance with the rit- ual of the church, and were quite im- ressive, although very few were able to hear or understand the details. Bishop Cosgrove, of Davenport, was the brant, and luid the corner stone. Re her Dowling, of Creighton col- ge, and Rev. Father — Dunn, Father Adolphus, 0. S, B, of Atchison, , and Rev, F Lyons, O. prior of St. Malachi’s at Creston, also among the clergy. The corner stone bore the mscription, “St. Francis Xa 's Chureh, Corner- Stone Laid April 24, 18 Rev. B. P. McMenomy, Pastor.” The ceremonies included not only the blessing of the stone, and 1ts consecration by sprinkling with holy water, but an imposing march was made around the entire foundations which were likewise consecrated by the sprinkling of the were 'he dedicary sermon was delivered by Rev. Father Nugent, of Des Moines. He stood on the front ot the church founda- tion and spoke in so clear and ringing a ice that the great crowd, reaching out direction, ‘filling the streets an-l sidewalks, could hear every word. It was a wonderful discourse. " Those who witnessed the preceding ceremonies, and who intended histening to but a fragment of the sermon, found themselves stand- ing as attentive listners te the very finish. Father Nugent is one of the finest orators in the church. Yesterday was one of his best efforts. Al though following a logical line of thought, closely knitting argu- ment to argument, the discourse was full of fervor and feeling. His ser- mon was peculiarly interesting to those outside of the church, as it was a strong setting forth of the peculiar text of the Catholic faith. The burden of the argu- ment was to show that the Catholic church, was the church, the true church, the only church. He based his reasoning on the fact that any one who belis i the divinity of Christ must deem it re: onable that Christ would establish divine church. A divine person would not establish a human church, any more thun a human person could establish a divine church. The reverend father then proceeded to show the organization of this churcn. The twelve were commissioned by Christ to 0 out into the world and preach the gospel to every peoble. They were made a corporation. The charter was given them, The life of this corporation was to be to the end of all time. The church was to last as long as the earth lasted. But having organized and got their divine charter it became necessary that something else should be added. This was the spirit which de. scended in pentecost. Christ in organiz ing His church on earth meant that this church should be the mouthpiece of God. It must necessarily be human, but the promise was given that the spirit shall remain in the church to keep it from error. This led to the development of the claim that the true church could be ever distirguishable by certain signs which no human organization calling itself a church could ever successfully coun- terfeit. One of these was the unity of the church and the unity of doctrine. The Catholic church held to the same doctrines which were preached in the days of Christ. These doctrines were given to the church by Christ, and could not be changed, The spirit had ro- mained in the church guarding it. Other organizations were human, hey looked on theology as a_progressive, and even doubtful science. Not 8o with this church, 1ts doctrines did not change. They could not change any mora than Christ could change. The opponents of the church criticised it as not being progressive. It gloried 1n the fact that ‘it clung to the same doctrines which Christ tanght. This was the foundation of the doctrine of the infallibility of the church. 1f this was a mere human organiza- tion, a mere divinity club, this could not be, but the church was divine in its origin, and was the means by which God was moulding the world. The doctrine of the apostolic succes- sion was also dwelt upon. The 1llustra- tion of the corporation maintaining 1ts life through individual members passed away was again used, The commission was handed down the centuries, and no man could put his finger on one break in the chain, so that those who were to-day oned to go forth and teach ail nations ived their message by a di- rect line from Christ himseif, Another distinguishing feature of this true church was the holiness of the church. It being divine, indestructible and indivisable. It must be holy. It was here that the struggle arose with the world, The doctrines of infallibility and of apostolical succession were for theologians, but the holiness of the church touched practical life- It was the edge of the chisel which came in contact with the rough block of marble, chippin 1t into beauty. The holiness of the church was always in conflict with the evil of the world. Hence the church was always in trouble, always would be. There could be counterfeits made of the externals of the church, but the church itself could never be counterfeited. An artist might model a man from marble, but could not ive it life. A church organization of uman origin was like the cold statute. God had breathed his spirit into the church and 1t could not be counterfeited. The speaker made an earnest appeal for Catholics to stand by the faith which has thus come down to them through the centuries from Christ himself, The church being the voice of God, it should beobc(en_l promptly and willingly. As the building, the corner stone of which was thus laid, was to be the house of God, it should be erected with gnerous. willing hunds. God shou)d be honored, and an expression given of the faith of the people. Everyone should have a por- tion in the building.

Pittsburgh Dispaten: ‘I had a funny experience years ago, when I worked for Mavor-elect McCallin in this city,” re- marked a county undertaker. “‘What was that?” “Why, I got paid for buryng a man twice. It was this way: A man had been fished up out of the river and sent to our house to bury. That night about 9 o'clock in came two women, a mother and daughter, named Smith, living on the South side, They asked to s the drowned man, and as quick as I lifted the cloth that covered his fuce, the old lady threw up both hands and sereamed, “I'hat’s him; that's my t;mu\' husband.’ The young lady identiiied him, too, but didn't seem to feel very bad. The next morning the family lJawyer came to me and gave orders for the burial, The old man, it seemed, had considerable money; at any rute, [ worked him off real re- spectable like, and got my pay. bout About a year Iater the same lawyer came to me and says: “‘You ought to owe me ““‘Why,"” says 1. ‘Why, 1 paid you that for burying old Smith about a year ago, and he” wasn't dead. But he is ready to plant this time; ied last night, and 1 came over after Well, I went over and Inid the man out. Winle I was at work on him t old iady came in and said: “Well, he’s ead enough this time, poor man. ‘I'ne ight after we'd buried him before he ame walking into the room where we was all sitting. He had taken a littl too much drink, and had just got over and read about our buryin’ him in the papers, and Lor’ but he was m I knew it was no sperret as soon he came in. But 1 guess he won’t come back this time.’ "’ *I never like to shave a corpse,” re- marked a red headed funeral director from an adjoining county, “‘and if it is practicable always like to get a barber. About a month ago [ had an old man to bury who had died with four or five days’ growth of beard. His limbs had contracted terribly after death, and to straighten them out we had laid a couple of pieces of plank across him. He was lying on his bed 1n this way when the barber came—a big colored fellow—witn considerablo superstition about him, He shaved the outside of the face all right, and then bad to climb on the bed, over the deceased, to shave the other side. In some wav his knees hit the plank which lay across the dead man’s chest and held his arms down, releasing both arms. They sprung together like the jaws of a steel-trap, and happened to catch the barber on both sides of the head. He gave one long yell that lasted till he reached the street, and that was the Just seen of him. I had to finish the job myself. The darky was so badly scared that it was three days before he went to work again, The following dialogue is ulleged to have been overheard at the convention, and was retold with considerable gusto: Country Undertaker—Do you make any 4difference in your own manner and expression in conducting difterent fu- nerals? City Funeral Director—Certainly. I have three expressions—one for first- class funerals, one for medium, and one for cheap funerals. First class funerals, as I call them, are when the family has wealth and social position. These peo- ple are calm and undemonstrative in their rorrow, and I use what 1 cail my “dignified sorrow” expression—a calm, sad look, with a white tie. I charge $10 extra for this in my et ciwteras. For the medium class 1 just shog in a sort of “‘ministerial sadness” look that costs them $5 extra. If the family have lots of money and are pretty shoddy, and bound to make a big show, 1 use a™*'suppressed rief” expression that I pride myself on. t is really pathetic. That costs the mourners $25, but it'’s a dandy. e — *'ME AND OLEVELAND,” The Great Scheme a Blear-Eyed Bum Hit on in Washington. “‘Towle'' in Boston Traveller: A short time ago u blear-eyed bum who had often boasted that ‘‘me and Cleveland are chums; I've slept with him often when we lived in Buffalo,” hit upon a racket which has not only raised him in the esti- mation of others, but has kept the dust out of his throat ever since. He attended the white house receptions and he saw that there was a chance to strike an alco- holic bonanza, so to speak. He went back to his old :omlon in one of the hotel lobbies and cultivated the acquaint- ance of the strangers. Casually he told them the old story of ‘“‘me and Cleve- land,” adding by the way, *'I would take great pleasure in giving you a personal ment; EISEMAN'S Greatest Sale Begins Monday, April 25th. —_— SPECIAL SALES IN EVERY DE- PARTMENT, Read Every Word of Th!

Al B ] 1t Didn't End Right, Chicago Tribune: *Can’t allow that, my dear sir,” said a brakeman on one of the Wabash lines the other day, rather sharply to a passenger who was trying to crack a pecan on the end of the car seat. The offender, a small man of quiet de- meanor,‘looked up and remarked that he was not hurting the seat, he was ham- mering on cast.iron. “I can’t help that, sir,” said the brake- man. “Supose we let everybody crack nuts on the car seats; don't you see it would deface them? I tell you it won't do. You'll have to stop it. “I'll pay for all the damage I do," said the li(l]n man, bringing his knife handle down on the nut again. “*You'll get out of the car if you don’t quit. That's what you'll do,” "quoth the exasperated brakeman. *'Oh, no, I think not,’ said the little man, “I'll try to put up with the injury to the car. I can staud it,’ and he handed the brakeman a card inscribed JAY,;GOULD.
