“A MINISTER'S GOOD ADVICE. | Courageous and Valuable Talk to a Lot of Students. REV. SAVIDGE'S WORDS OF CHEER. His 1deas of What Comprise Elements of Success—Riches Do Not Make the Man If Chare acter Lacks. Rev. Savidge's Lecture, The students of the Omaha commercial oollege were treated to an interesting and wvaluable lecture 1ast Saturday night by Rev. C. W vidge. 'I'here was a large turn-out, and the fatherly and kind words of the rev- erend gentleman who spoke as follows were listened to with the utmost decorum and attention throughout: Young ladies and gentlemen of the Omaha enmmercial college: 1am very glad to meet you and to spend this hour with you. I want to congratulate you on the excellent opportu- nity here afforded you to secure a business education. Iam very glad that I can call the professors of this institution my personal friends. 1 have known the Rohrbough ‘brothers and Prof. Worley for years, and my appreciation of them has steadily increased. First of ali, they are good meu; then they are competent and able teache 1 am not at all surp od that this college has rospercd under their wise management, nor lf;nl wonder that within the past four years 2,000 students have cived instruction here for a longer or shorter time, and of these 400 young men have been sent out capable of filling responsible positions and are now doing well. . Logking into your faces as I do to-night, brings up before me in panoramic view my own college life. Ileft my father's farm at uineteen years of age. My fortune consisted of a fixed purpose to do right, a small trunk full of clothes and & in 1 took a three years' preparatory se and four years in the classical course, I worked my own way through and paid my own bills. I o not think it is a misfortune for a boy to be poor, it is ofttimes rather a great help, for in hat case the boy has neither leisure or money to o to the devil with, When [ came out of college I had good health, a sheepskin and £10 in money, and with this immense capital I went into my present business. I have only two regrets a8 1 look over my school days: first, did not make all that work as practical as I might have done. To-night [ would gladly trade some knowledge of Latin and Greek for the ability to write a good hand in plain Engiish, My writing is absolutely fearful. One of my professors looked at ita few years ago and sait: “Well it is peculiar. There i nothing like it in heaven or on earth.” This hand I write has been « disadvantage to me allalong. Isuppose you have heard of the trouble Horace Greely got into on account of his illegible hand. It is said he wrote a business letter to an old farmer. The farmer could not read 1t 80 he gave it to his two daughters to read. T made it out that it ‘was an offer of marriage to the oldest girl, and she wrote back that everything was all right. Mr. Greely having a good deal of hivalry in his makeup, performed his part of the programme, If I were tuking a ‘course’ again, I would gt mind discipline out of practical studies. My other mistake was this, I did not put the value on those years of study that I should now. I should do more thorough work, or try to at least if 1 had the ground to go over. In distinct images of truth are worthless. The thing we know, alone is of value. But those days have gone, and with th ses and failures must stand us they The present only is ours. Our subject to-night is *“Elements of Suc- cess.” Literally the word “Sy the prosperous issue or favorable termination ofanything. At the present day, the word has practically two definitions, *Success" the eyes of many means gain; means money without regard to.conscience or character. “‘Success" is only the synonym for fine clothes, magnificent houses and grounds and splendid turnouts, Or it n?:lnre and name in the political history of the country. Thousands of people in_this city fall in with this idea of ‘“‘success.” If this be success, may God deliver us from it! Some of the worst failures we have ever scen _have been called successtu by tho crowd. But there is a higher success. In my judgment the successful man may be rich or poor, for money is not the chief factor, Did a man ever ask if Andrew Marvel, of England, was rich! Do we estimate Lincoln or Garfield or Logan any the less be- cause they were not milliouaires? Ah! no. Success means rather ai attainment of character. It means integrity and nobility and purity of soul. Then as a natural conse- ?m‘nrn the living and oftimes wealth follows. f you want my opinion of a successful man, you must tell me what he is rather than what he has. You yourselves can name the elements which produce this success I de- scribe. If you be well born, and well taught in your childhood, 80 much in your favor. Fix your aim high. Let it be the develop- ment of soul nobility. Then get ready, as you are doing here at this college. Lot your calling be one for which have an especial fitness or and not shun the humbler walks I know a teamster and a blacksmith in this city who are both noble men, and they have already secured a competency, Oh, if ou young men would only have a high ideal! ot 80 much as to the business they chooso 88 to the manhood they shall develope in their respective lines. Aguin, success, to-day, demands a brave heart, ‘This world is full of cowards.

He said, ‘‘As ng as there is o man in Prussia, he shall carry a gun, and as long as there is a horse left he shall draw artillery.” And you know the result of that seven year's war. You must have a genius for hard work. Char- Jotte Cushman said, “They say it is geniu; but I tell you it is nothing but sweat,” L is the condition of all improvement. The reat names of the world were none of them dlers, Then do your work well. It does not matter so much what you do, as how you do it. The value of skilled labor is estimated on a democratic basis.

Exciting Experience of One of the | Bee's Carriers. One of the fifty carrier boys of the Bie became an involuntary prisoner in the vault an the celler of the establishment where the ‘bound files of the paper are stored yesterday morning. The victim is known as “Carrier No. 82, and while the lads were waiting for their supply of papers, they indulged in mis- chievous pranks, Carrier *32" was standing near the vault, the door of which was par- tially open, and his cousin coming along ed him into it and slammed the door behind him, shutting out all light and air, and springing the combination. As soon as it became kunown that the boy was in the vault and liable to suffocate, consternation took possession of the employes and carriers. ‘The massive ron door refused to yield to the attacks made upon it, and as the combination ‘was known ouly to the cashier, the circulator, Mr. Williams, dispatched a messenger in quest of the needed relief. The frightened ger awoke Mr, E. Rosewater, who in- him where the cashier lived, and the meantime the foremaun, “of the press room, Fred Youngs, iting the necessity of giving the un: boy air, made an ¢xcavation in tho. side of the vault, "fi removing the brick and cement, a foresight that without question saved a Mfe. In about fifty minutes Mr. Feil, the cashier, arrived on the scene, ma- nipulated the combination and_released the carrier, who had become considerably wilted through fright ‘at the claseness of his quar- ters. He recovered sufficiently in a short time to serve his customers with the Beg, A PECULIAR A(ECII’IEN‘K‘. A Street Car Passenger Injured By a Ruvaway Horse. Mr. Singer, a South Omaha merchant, is confined to his home, corner of Seventeenth and Jones street, badly bruised and lacerated with @ recent serious accident. While Mr. Singer was sitting on the rear of a street car near the corner of Ninth und Leavenworth strects, a runaway team, belonging to the Goodman Packing company, came dashing down Leavenworth street and collided with the rear end of the street car. One of the horses jumped upon the platform, thus driv- ing the wagon tongue into Mr. Singer's thigh, breaking the bone and throwing him against the rear window of the car. The vio- lence with which he was thrown shivered the glass to pieces, cutting him badly, partic- ularly his right hand. The palrol wagon was immediately called and the injured man was taken to his home, whero Dr. Rosewater, his brother-in-law, was called and the wounds and broken bone properly cared for. The team which caused the damage had been tied near the Union Pacific depot, but had some- how become scared and broken loose. MORTUARY. MRS, ALICE GILLIGAN. Mrs. Alice Gilligan died yesterday morn- ing at her late home, on the corner of Six- teenth street and Manderson avenue. The deceased was aged forty-three years. She will be buried to-morrow at St. Mary's cem- etery. 5 DANIEL RILEY. Mr. Daniel Riley died yesterday at his res- dence 1219 Cass street.

New Orleans mes-Democrat: A party of American engineers is en- gaged in Nicaragua 1n surveying a line for an_ inter-occan canal. They com- menced operations on the Atlantic side along the er San Juan. The diffi- of the work are great and numer- ous as it must be prosecuted in a dense tropical forest, with a thick under- growth tangled and interlacing vines. Among the recent incidents of this survey were the incidents of twoof the ariy’ who became bewildered in the orest and lost their way and were for nine days exposed to sevious privations. On the 80th of December, Branford, a Nicaraguan, and Allen, a Jamaican, started on foot to carry the mail from one camp of surveyors to another soms ten miles ¢ v. After walking for sev- eral hours they lost their w: Ince: sant rain had flooded the swamps and left the ground in such a condition that they were forced to remove their boots in order to make any progre Close, interlacing vines tore the clothes from their backs, and wet powder rendered their gus useless, thus depriving them of their onfy means of obtaining food. Half naked and exhausted, they were scarcely able to walk, when Allen was at- tacked by the fever. Had it not been for Branford, a man of great determina- tion and bravery, who constantly en- couraged and urged his companion to crawl on, hoping they might reach some river, the story might have been a still sadder one to record. In vain they endeavored to obtain nourishment from the cabbage palms, but their matches had been lost the first night, and desperate attempts to move bark had left their finger nails torn and bleeding. Fatigued and down- hearted they attempted to retrace their steps and to this alone is probably due their lives, for on the fifth day they reached the head waters of the Indian river, which leads down to Greytown, on the gulf coast. Rolling a small log into the stream they lashed themselves to it by mcans of sneati grass, and, up to their necks in water, le¢ the current take them whither it would. On the after- noon of the ninth day they were met by two Indin rubber hunters’ and enjoyed their first meal, which consisted of iguana, a species of lizard highly esteemed as a delicacy in these coun- tries. == The swampy jungles of the eastern section through which these fellows pussed are infested with tigers and tapirs, and though they were followed during the day and kept awake at night by the howls of the former around their improvised beds, yot they were unmo- lested After nine days of suffering thoy drifted over to Greytown, where they found relief, Thirty-five or forty years ago Lieu- tenant Isaac Strain, of the United States navy, was lost, with a consider- able party, while exploring the wind- ings of the Chagress river, on isthmus of Darien, and barely escaped alive, while one-third of his men succumbed to starvation and d A Cinder in the Eye. Chicago News, 22: Dr. R. W, St. Clair tells how, a few .years since, he was riding on an engine when he caaght a cinder in his eye that caused the most excruciating pain. He began torub the afflicted organ, when the engineer called out: *Let that eye alone and rub the other one. I know you doctors think you know it all, but if you will let that eye alone and rub the other one, the cinder will be out in two minutes,” per- sisted the engineer. The doctor began to rub the other eye, and soon felt the cinder down near the inner canthus, are made ready to take it out. *‘Let it alone, and keep at the well eye!” shouted the doctor pro tem. He did so for n minute longer, and looking in a small glass found the offender on his cheek. “Since then,” says Dr. S ir, “T have tried many times, and have ad- vised many others, and I have never known it to fail in one instarice, unless it was sharp as a piece of steel, or some- thing that cut into the ball and re- quired an operation to remove it. Why it is so I do not know, but that it isso I do know, and that oue may be saved much suffering if they will let the in- jured eye alone and rub the well eye.” R B. R.

Standard Defeats Landers in a Foot Race in the Blufts 1t was a cold day for sports yesterday, and yet the sporting fraternity managed to make @ day of it. Only those inured to the chilli- ness of a cold water state were able to bear up against the biting blasts that kept their higher living companions under cover, and Charlie Standard and Charlie Landers stribped and toed the scratch at the fair grounds in Council Bluffs waiting for the pistol shot that was to send them over @ fifty yard track. Tommy Brooks held ‘‘the gun’ as starter and Johnny Larkins acted as referee, with Ed Rothery officiating as judge, and holding the #100 stikes, It was about 2:45 when the pistol shot sent both men off, though Landers seemed a_little unprepared and lost three yards, that still stood against him when he passed the tape. The race was accordingly given to Standard, and 8o was the purse, about &0 changing hands on the outside. Quite o number of Omaha sports were on hand and_the only disagree- able feature was the cold wind, Dogs inthe Pit. ‘While the two Charlies were testing their speed in Council Bluffs, two bull-dogs were testing their staying powers in an all-around athletic contest in Omaha. One of them is already known to fame, and the other made & game fight, but it was found if not out- weighted the stronger was matched. Three times he came to the scratch and three times he got the worst of it, when his owner, not wishing to see him needlessly punished, withdrew both the dog and his claim to the stakes, In this case also, considerable money changed hands, and just one-half of those ‘who bet went home satsfied. A Rat Fight. A still smaller number of sports hid them- selves n @ cellar to settle the question whether rats were ‘‘game birds" or not. Eight of the rodents had been caged for the purpose some days ago, but on counting heads one was found missing. Whether he had been eaten by his companions or escaped no one could say, but no time was lost in deciding. Although the rat catcher would not admit it, there was but hittle doubt the animals had been kept without food or water, as they presented an unusually gaunt and ravenous appearance, and lost no time in making an attack. The question of their being gate was soon settled and the money handed over, for in less than three minutes, one was stretched dead on the floor, and the other £0 badly injured that for ‘humane” reasons he was given to a terrier to dispatch. He was dispatched. One other rat in the handling, and the remaining battles were ended by one small active looking rat getting a death-grip on the throat of an ap- parently heavier adversary, and maintaining it to the last. The third battle was not fought, as they sought their respective corn- ers, and were only driven out by the afore- said terrier who gave them each a farewell shake. Parrots Have a Time. The only public entertainment was an im- promptu bar-room scrap between two par- rot3 known to most sporting men as Pom and Bob. Without thinking of the conse- quences, as they were at one time friends Bob was introduced to Pom’s cage, and was gven a perfectly natural laugh as he came in. After thinking it over he assumed a ligerent atttitude and issued an_invitation to “come on Pom.” Pom came and kept on coming for nearly an hour, but it was gener- ally up from the botton the cage where his lighter and more active rival had knocked him. They both rendered the match decid- edly intercsting by enlivening it with the choicest specimens of English their vocabu- 1 afforded, and when at last they sought the opposite sides of the single perch the cage poss and the covering was put over it, they could be heard exchanging complimentary vemarks, with an occasional invitation to “‘come on™ und “get there,” Spoiling for a Fight. A heavy-weight of Towa is willing to try his staying powers before Pat Killen, and Bob Clancy, formerly of this city but now of St. Paul, and Colonel Forbes are trying to make the necessary arrangements. Dakota is named as the battle ground. 01d Western League Reorgauized. St1. Josern, Mo., Feb. 20.

Translated from the Turkish by George Washburn, D. E., president of Robert col- lege, near Constahtinople, New York Independent, Dear Sir: The letter by which you ask 1o be received into the heart of the Musselman religion has been received and has caused us a lively satisfaction. The reflections which you make on this occasion appears to us worthy of the highest praise. At the same time we ought to call your attention to the fact that your con- version to Islamism does not admit. any intermediary, like the cle:lgy. between God and his servants. Our duty consists only in teaching the people. religious truths. . Consequently, ‘conversion to Islamism dmm\n:i.- rie relgious formal- ity and depends upon'the authorization o? no one. It is suffiefent to believe and to procliim one’s bellef. In fact, Ielamism hasfor its base faith in the unity of God aud in the mission of his dearest servant. Mohammed (may God cover him with blessings and grant him salvation); i. e., t@ aecept conscien- tiously this fuith and s avow it in words, as expressed by the phrase: “There is only one God and Mohammed is his prophet.” He whe makes this nrofession of faith becames a Mussul- man without having need of the consent or approbation of amyome. If, as you promise in your letter, you make this profession of faith, tha is to say, you de- clare that there is only one God and that Mchammed is his_prophet, you be- come a Mussulman without having need of our acceptance; and we, for our part, felicitate you with pride and joy for having been touched by divine grace, and we shall testify in "this world and in the other that you are our brother. Believers are all brothers. Such is & summary definition of faith. Let us enter now upon some devolop- ments of it. Man who is superior to the other animals by his intelligence, was created out of nothing to adove his Cre- ator. This adoration may be summed up in two words—to honor the com- mands of God and to sympathize with his creatures. This double adoration exists in all religion As to its prac- tice—religions differ as to their rules, torms, times, s, the greater or less number of their rites, ete. But the hu- man intelligence does not suffice to as- sure us of the manner of praying which is most worthy of the divine glory: so God in his merey, in according to cer- tain human beings the gift of prophecy, i sending to them, by angels, inspira- tion, writings and books. and in so ealing the true religion, whelmed his servant The book of God wh from heaven is the sacred Koran, the unchangeable teachings of which, care- fully preserved from the first day in written volumes and in the memory of thousands of reciters, will last even to the day of the last judgment. The first of the prophets was Adam Land the last was Mohammed (may God give him salvation). Between these two many others have lived: their num- ber is known only to God. The greatest of all is Mohammed. After him come Jesus, Mose: Abraham, Noah and Adam (may God grant them salvation). All the prophets have threatened their followers with the day of the last judgment. t is necessary to believe that the dead will appear before the tribunal of God to render their accounts and that the eleet will be sent to par- adise and those condemned to hell. All the actions of every one in this world will be examined on that day one by one; and although all the acts of soldiers in holy war, even their sleep, are considered as a prayer, they also will be obliged at the judgment day to render an account. ; exception is for those who die yrs, who will go to paradise without examina- tion. Also it is necessary, as an article of faith, to attribute all good and all evil to providence of God. To say that the tor of good is the angel, and the tor of evil the demon. is one of those errors which it is necessary to avoid. Consequently the believer ought to have faith in God, in His angels; in His books, in His prophets, in the last judg- ment, and in His will as the source of all good and evil. He who accepts these truths is a true believer. But to be o perfect believer it is necessary to perform certain dutiesy to pray to God, and to avoid falling into such sins as murder, robbery, adultery, ete. Besides the profession of faith of which we have svoken of above, a good Mussulman ought to pray five times a day, and distribute o the poor a fortieth part of his goods every year, fast during the month of Ramazan and make once in his life a pilgrimage to Mecca. If a believer does not conform to the laws of God, and does not avoid what he forbids, he does not become an infidel, but he is considered as a sinner; that 1s, as a wandering believer, and he will merit o temporary punishwent in the other world. He is in the hands of God. God pardons him or condems him to puss a certain time in hell, proportioned to his guilt. Faith annuls all sin. He who is con- verted to Islamism becomes as innocent as if just born, and he is responsible only for the sins committed after his conversion. A sinner who repents and in person asks God’s forgiveness obtains pardon. Only the rights of his neighbors are an exception to this rule, for the servant of God who cannot obtain justice in this world reclaims his right at the day of judgment, and God, who is just, will then compel the oppressor to make res- titution to the oppressed. Even the yrs are no exception to this rule. To avoid this responsibility the only means is to get a quittance from your neighbor whom you have wronged. In all cases, however, there is no need of the intercession of a spiritual director. All this no doubt seems strange to pmmlc accustomed to a sacredotal reg- ime. When a Christian child 18 born, to make part of society he must be bap- tized by a priest: when he grows up he needs a priest to marry him; if he would pray, he must go to a church and find & pi to obtain forgiveness for his sins he must confess them to a }:!'iest, and he must heve a priest to bury im. In the Mussulman religion, where there is no clergy, such obligations have no place. The infant is born a Mussulman, and his father, or the chief of the family, gives him a name. When they wish to contract marriage, the man and the woman, or their agents, make the contract in presence of two witnesses; the contracting parties are the only one interested, and the others cannot mterfere or take part. A mussulman prays all alone in any place which suits his convenience, and to merit the remission of his sins he goes directly to God. He does not con- fess them to others, nor ought he to do 80. At his death the Musselman in- habitants of the town are obliged to put himin a coffin and bury him. Any Mussulman can do this; the presence of a religious chief is not necessary. In a word, in all religious acts there is no intermediary between God and His servants. It is necessary to learn the will of God, revealed by the prophet and to act in conformity with it. DOnly the accomplishment of certain religious ceremonies such as the pray- ers on Friday and at Beiram is subordi- nated to the will of the caliph, of the prophet, and the sultan of .\Iusuulmmm, since the arrangement of ceremonies for Islamism is one of his sacred attri- butes. Obedience to his orders is one of the most important religious duties. As to our mission, it consists in admin- istering, in his name, the religious affairs which he deigus to confide to us One of the things to which e Mussulman ought to be very attentive is righteousness in character; vices, such us pride, presumption, cgotism, and obstinaney, do not become a Mus- sulman. To revere the great and to compassionate the insignificant ave pre- cek)v.n of Islamism. £ May God give successand salvation to him who is touchied by divine grace.
