PLUMS GIVEN OUT IMPARTIALLY The Most Successful Moeting in the History of the Organization —A Profitable Season Predicted A Regular Love Tho Western Association scheduls com- mittee completed their labors last ovening after the most harmonious and satisfactory session within the history of the organiza tiod. No dissension whatever arose out of the addption of the playing schedule for the eoming season, and the original sheet, after but few slight modifications, was unani mously agreed upon, and a vigorous inter- change of oongratulutions was in ordef attong the delogates, The first busiuess in order today was the hearing of réports from the various com- mittees, that of the committes on balls, recommending the uso of the Spalding ball during the season of 1890 being,adopted. All other reports, which are of no moment to the puolic, were likewiso as satisfactorily disposed of, On motion it was decided that each team in the assoclation must wear a white uni form, shirt and paots, upon the home grounds,fthe color of cap, helt and stock ings being left to tho pleasure of the indi- vidual manace The contract for uni forms was awarded to Sam Morton of Minneapo! After the digposal of this aud much other important business the schedule agreed upon vy the committee was submitted to the in- spection of the delegates, the different clubs beiug represented as follows: Omaha, J. S. McCoruick, president of the association and Ed. O. Brandt, the local club's secretary; St. Paul, Mike J. Roche, secretary of the association, and A. N.

Jewett; Denver, Dave Rowe and W. L. Van Horn; Kansas City, Dave Rowe, proxy. The schedule was thoroughly dissected, the result being its hearty unanimous adop- tion.

Omaba at Denver May 17, 19 and 20, and Sioux City at Jansas Ci Omaha then goes to Kansas mes on April 22, 23 and 24, aftor which sho returns home for the in- sugural games with Sioux City A Denver follows next May nsas City 9, 10 and 11, after which the home club goes north for & two weeks' trip, returning here with St. Paul May 30, 31 and June 1. After this comes fifteen straight fiumos 1o thorosy month of ‘June on the home grounds, including four Sundaysand four Saturdays. Altogether Omaha gots fourteen Sunday games by regular schedule, and threo more by reason of open dates- two with Minneapolis and one with Des Moines, giving the home team in reality seventcen Sunday games, which 1s a big thing from a financial stindpoint. On July 4 the home club goes to Kunsas City for two games, returning here {or & game with the Cowboys on Sunday, July 6, after which she leaves on her second northern trip. May #0, Decoration Day, St. P’aul plays here. As it wiil be seen, every- thing considered, Omana has her full share of good dates.

All the delegates expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied with their allotment of dates, and with one accord, all procluimed that the coming sea s0n was bound to be a great ore. President Dick McCormick, or “Uncle Dick,”” as the delegates insisted on calling him, opened the festivities with a bumper and neat little spocch, congrutulating the gentlemen as- sembled upou the hearty and unanimous way in which they had accomplished their onerous labors,and bespeaking unprecedented succoss for the coming season, Manager Cushmun of Milwavkee responded with a Jucle Dicic; Muleahy of Sioux City to the pennant winners, the Corn Huskers, and Henry Hock to the finest ball organiza~ tion in the world. Short specches were also made by Messrs, Thomson of St. I’aul, Sam Morton of Minneapolis, Dave Rowe and Vun Horn of Denver and Mike Roche, the associ- ation’s eff' clent and courteous secretary, who, by the way, is porting editor of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and the meeting did not disperse until it was time for the dele- gates to leave for the various trains that wore 10 bear them hLome, The complete schodule is appended : OMAHA A City—.

Louis Zahner, who is aliwvays interesting and well liked. He is deeply in earnest in his work and is rapidly buildiog up one of the strongest societies in the city. A very fne choir, composed, with two exceptions, of men and boys, under the leadership of Mr, Penueli, make the music atthis church a very enjoyable feature of the services, Yesterday the rector took for his text the seventeenth verse, chapter eight, of the book of Apostles. Itreads: “Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Ghost." “"Phese words,” began the speaker, ‘“do- scribe the Fite of confirmatiom as practiced in the apostolic church. They tell us how the first converts to the Christian religion wore admitted to the privileges of Christian fellowship anil communion.’ To .theso great tenets, confirmation and communion, Mr. Zahner devoted his dis- course. In substance he said that the first comes 6 us authorized and enjoined by apos tolic example and by the strongest influen wo ticliéve in the authority of Christ him self. The apostles were under the strong and special influence of the Holy Spirit, and what they did was done either by the direct inspiration of the spirit of God or by the au- thority of what Christ taugnt them to do dur- g the great forty days after the resurection, Avthat time the apostles were inaugurat- ing a movement destined to run its course along with the world—a work that would never be finished while the world stood. Every act of theirs was sigmficant; every word prompted and ratified by the apirit of God. He then related the story of St. Peter and St. Johu 8t Sawmaria, the preachings of Phil1p there, aud asserted that the influence of thelr visit there was that of a divine call. ‘“This was the special thing these two apostles were sent to do.” When tha people of Samuria were much rejoiced at Puilip's preaching and believed the things he told them concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus, they were baptised. When the apostlcs at Jerusalam, therefore, heard of this they sont Peter and John to pray that tbe Samari- ans might receive the Holy Ghost. This service had to be performed by the laying on of hands, and ouly the apostles were empowered with diving wuthority to do it. ‘The custom then practiced, according to Rov. Zaliner, is still observed. He, as roctor tor of All Saints parish, occupies the same position that Phillip did, and can baptize, but the cigat of confirmation belongs oniy to tho bishops, who hold the same relutionship uow that the apostles of old did. By prayer aud the laying on of hands Peter and Joln bestowed upon the cooverts v Samarla the gifts and blessings of the holy spirit. I'ne same right of confirmation ib praoticed i the church today. It is an apostolic institution, and canuot ba neg- lected without sin aud injury to the soul. By these outward manifestations in the first ages of the church God set his seal on this sacred right, and the apostles, being taught of God, exércised their ministry us the proper weans for the conveyance of their inward gift, called in holy scripture the gift of the Holy Ghest. Thus God commeanded this practice to the permagent use of all fu- ture generations and made it obligatory on Choristians to receive and maiutain it. Ttev, Zahner distinguishes the apostolic as being the purest and best age of Christian- ity, Immediately after the age it was the custom aud has been over since for the bishop to go forth and make a tour in order to lay his hands and to invoke the Holy spirit on those who, in smaller towns, have beon bap. tised by the presbytors snd deacons, Baptism has been enlisted under Christ's bauner to fight a good fight in the world's confiicts and trials, and it gives a hope for the future, ao assurance of God's faver and gooduess towards us which we cannot be thoroughly couscious of without it. Ounly the pishop is privileged to bestow that fur- ther and crowning blessiug of the church, admission to the feast of Christ’s blessing and blood. This custom of takiogsacrament was aiso dwelt upon by the speaker at some lengto, the teuor of his arguwment being “Who o eathieth my tesh and drinketh my plood hatb eteroal life and I will raise him up at the last day." nythiog 100 much o prove our loyalty and love and gratitude to the Master! 1ls his service hard when he calls us to do for his sake what, if we knew but our own in- terest, we should do for our own sske!

The young man was divected 1o the small change room, where IR, C Haff took the soiled and’ erunibled bits in his hands, smoothed them out with the hasty touch of an expert, singled out one of the pieces and turned around to a bit of wood, t looked like a small butcher’s block, and struck on it the lected piece of paper a whack with a steel instrument. Then turning to the young m ho replied: “These fiv re rood, but that counteriei As he spoke he handed by ious note paper, and across the was the word “‘counterfeit, 1t elean and clear. The steel iostrument with which he had struck the paper was w sharp stencil die that cut the tell-tule word so clearly that it could never be effuced. and the veriest fool could sce that it was worthless, Do you want these redeemed?” con- tinued Mr. Haff, as he pointed to the five grimy slips on the murbie counter. “Yes, siryif you please.” stammered the youth, us he eyed with surprise and fear the mutilated piece returned to him. Mr. Haff put two bright silver dollars and a silver quarter oun the counter, which the boy picked up in u hurry as though nhe “wus alraid they would be taken back again. **Do you get much of that old frac- tional currency now?” was asked of Mr. Haff as the boy went out. “*No.” he replied, “‘we get very ltttle now, not more than $2,500 a year. The amount coming in for rvedemption 1s growing less nud less every year. It used to come in here by the bushel ba ketful.

There is now outstanding of the old fractional paper cucrency something like $15,000,000. And of this it is esti- mated that not more than #3,000,000 to 5,000,000 will ever come in now. “But where the rest, and why will it not come in for redemption?” “A great deal of it has been worn out by the wear and tear of twenty odd vears of usage.
