TO-DAY'S SERMONS AND SERVICES The City's New Team—The Dead-lock on the New School House— The Council Still One of War. A Startling Sermon on Social Purity. The funeral of the little girl who died at . Bernard's hospital held yesterday, and was a most touching closing of the story of a ruined life, The form of the girl w laid in a beautiful casket and was surrounded by floral tributes from those who hadknown her from childhood and those whose sympa: thies had been excited by her sad history The face was not that of the girl of fifteen, but rather of & young woman of twenty, so much had the sufferings of mind and body changed the lines and driven away the bloom of health and youth. There was a large gathering of those who for years had known her, and the tenderest sympathy was mani fest in many ways. She was a favorite in all the families whose homes she had visited. Yet sympathy and friendship saved her not from n startling chapter of shame, with a finis of untimely death 1t has been the desire of friends, of her special benefactors, and of those who tended to her last wants, and who have the right to speak for her, that the cvents leading to her death be kept from the public and that the sensational features be not paraded for the satisfaction of the mere curi ity of the newspaper readers. The poor child was so much more sinned against han sinning, that by the desire of all con- cerned her name is not paraded before the public gaze. Whatever fault she may have committed, the penalty has been most bit- terly pwd. The case is, however, so peculiar and is so startling an instance of man's pas- sion and woman's weakness, that it should bo given more than a g notice, espee- ially in view of the fact that to-day there are in the churches of the city special services in behalf of social puri The lessons taught by the incidents of ‘the girl's death are numerous and self-apparent, She was a mere school girl. ‘Her mother i, and her father who still lives here mar- dagain, 1t was no longer a home for_the girl, and she drifted out in the world. She Tately was at work in a private family, and it was while there that she was ruined.

He 18 said to be the causeof all her trouble. The girl did not know her own con* dition, and soon after she was taken into the home of a philanthropic family, who allowed hier a chanee to go to school.

Yesterday afternoon two young bloods, Wwhose names could mot be learned, while driving about South Omaha, upset their car- riage inthe vicinity of Savage's crossing. The pccupants were thrown outand the horse dashed down Twenty-eighth street with the vehicle resting on its side. Workmen on the N street grade noticed the animal approach- ing and brought it to a halt by forcing it into the mud. About fifteen minutes afterward the twain arrived on the scene and took )os- session of the outfit without even returning thanks to the men who, at the peril of their i aptured the frightened steed.

It was with asense of the fit of things that the builders persuaded Lady Randolph Churchill, a New York girl, to break a bottle of wine over the bow of the City of New York us she slid gracefully off the v into the sen at Clyde Bank on Thursday. The # g« vessel floated pretily an while a dozen little tugs ric fter her to tow her to dock. But somebody blundered, for before they could reach her she was hard aground on the mud- \0als at the mouth of the river, where she stuck hard ‘and fast for several hours, .

The best that can be done now is to give a fow figures and facts about these new vessels in as in- teresting a light as possible. The Great Eastern is broken up, the City of Paris is still on the stocks, and for the time being the City of New York lays claim to being the biggest vessel afloat, Her length all over is 560 feety breadth, feet; depth moulded, 42 feet, giving a tonna, of 10,500 tons, She is built of 30,000 sepas~ rate pieces of steel, weighing in all 7,000 tons. Each square inch of steel is guaranteed tostand a strain of thirty tons, and it would require a of 60,000 tons to tear the ship ay 3 has two bottoms, one sev foot inside the other, both equally strong. The City of Ne¢ York has the usual elipper stern of the Inman liners. In fact, h the exception of size and improvements for speed and accommodation, she is exactly like the City of Rome. T donot propose to men- tion what the builders term the “‘hotel™ accommodations, for a transatlantic traveller can find comfortable accommo- ;mn enough nowadays on any first-class ine. ‘When an ocean liner tom, or there is a colli lives of hundreds of pa perilled, the New Yorker rcads in his paper a great deal about bulk- ds. = A new scheme is on trial in the Inman boats. The fifteen bulkheads in the city of New York are carried to the upper deck without a door in_them, so that should a collision occur there would be no necessity of a erazy erew running wildly around trying to shut water-tight doors. There are two boiler rooms and two engines, divided by a com- partment which runs longitudi- nall Each engine capable of driving the ship at four-fifths of her maximum speed, so that the vessel must be “‘stove in” on both sides before she is absolutely disabled. The auxilliary engines in the shipnumber in all thirt seven. She hasthree funnels and three masts. The quantity of coal consumed imply enormous— much greater than either the Etruria or the Umbria. It is promised that the City of New York will earry 2,000 peo- ple’ on each trip with comfort. Old transatlantic travelers will rejoice at this innovation—the promenade deck extends almost the entire length of the vessel. After the lunch there wasdinner.and in closing I want to quote what the builder of the ship. J. R.

The risk of the vessel under such cireumstances would he extremely great if she had not powerful steering capac ity. It isa mistake to suppose t a vessel in the open sea should slow down inafog.
