It has been callec a lottery schemo some newspapers and has beon com nded by others. Ministers of various denominations in aha, in responso to a requost of Tir Bew, vo oxpressol their opinions of tao plan posed by Bishop Newman © Don't Want Another Ok' Dr. Duryea, pastor of the Firat Congre- ational church, said: “The history >f the opening of the Indian territory re\eals a tate of things that is a disgrace to civiliza, ion, The Oklahoma affair was barbarous. The only proper way 1o opou these lands would bo to permit none but those furnish fng absolute proof that they had a lewal right 10 avail thomsclves of the privilages thus af- forded to have a share in the distribution and then distributo the lands by lot. ““Thero is noelement of gambliug in this at ali, The gambler risks money in order to got gafn. 1f ho gains nothing ho loses what he risked. [Iu this instanco no onn could loso anything Those who might take part in the drawing would have nothing at stako, They would have everything to wain and nothing to lose. The ideal process would bo 10 place every man whero ho could mako the best use of “land for his own veuefit aud, therefore, indirectly for the bencfit of society, but a commission could not do this ‘without vast labor consuming an immense amount of time and no commision wuula be trusted to do it through fear of favoritism, “If the plan of opentng theso lands by appli- cations made through the mails were adopted then the question of deciding the order of priodity woula troublo the commission. Tnough apphcations might be roceived in a sinzle week to oxhaust the entire tract of Iand and then how should the ofticials having the matter in hand decide which should como first and which Ilast! The element of chance is in it in spite of all that can bo done. The 1ands might be sold at auction, but this would probably prevent some poor men from gotting homes. The land is intended for peoie’ who " aro not able to buy, but I ope that the plan adopted at tho oponing of Okiaboma will not be foilowed in this instance, forit will doubtless result inan otuer disgraceful seramble of ruflianism and brutal force. Some more rational ana busi nessliko plan should bo adopted, and 1 think that suggested by Bishop Newmau is a &ood one." yma. No Harm in 1t Bishop Scannell of the Catholic church had but littie to say upon the question, bo cause he said he had not given the matter any thought. “I ses nothing movally wrong in tho suggestion,” tho bishop romarked, “hut I have nothing to offer with reference 1o the matter, because it i3 something that I know scarcely anything about, haviag given 1t no thought until this moment.” Thoroughly Biblic: Rov, T. J. Mackay, rector of All Sainte’ Episcopal church. sajd: i “I had not noticed Bishop Nowmau's inter- view in Tne Ber because I am usually so busy on Sunday that I have no time to look over the newspapers, But now that [ have read of his scheme for the opening of the Cherokeo stiip by lot I am frec to say that [ think it thoroughly scriptural and absolutely freo from the elemont of gambling. 1f Bishop Newman's plan :s zambling then the distribution of the land of Canaan amoag the children of Israel was gambling. Let mo rofer you to tho eighth chapter of Joshua,” said Rev. Mackay, taking up his biwlo and reading the following: *And Jushua said unto tho ehidren of Isruel. How long are ye slack to ko to p sess the land which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you! Give out from amoug you three men fov each tribe, and I will send them and they shall rise and go through tho land and describe it according to tho Inberitance of thew, aud thoy shall come again to me.’ “And in the ninth verse it says: ‘And the men went and passed through the lana and described it by cities into seven partsin a book and came again to Joshua to the host at sA5hiloh. And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the l.ord; and there Joshua divided to. land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.’ And tnen it goes on to describe the inheritance that fell to eanh trivo by the casting of lots. It seems to me that thero could be noth- fng more thoroughly scriptural or equitable than Bishop Newman's plan so long as the 1ands are to be disposed of in any manner that includes a chance. The bibie is full of such examples. The cities of refuge were chosen by the casting of lots, and there aro many such instances, ‘The subject is & very interesting one. Tho disgraceful outlawry that provailed at the time Oklahoma was opened should not be permitted again, and I se0 no reason why the plan suggestod by Bishop Newman or something similar should pot. be adouted.” Dr. Ros Dr. Rosenau said: “I think Bishop New- man has suggested 8 magniticont plan to bo followed 1n the distribution of those Cnerokee iands. I remember the Oklaboma affair very distinctly. I saw comments upon it in foreign newspapers which indicated that the plo_across the wauter thought we woro about half civilized in this country when the government woald permit of such & barbar- ous proceeding. There wiil be other reserva- tions to be opened and I think it wonld be woll for the government to make a chaugo in the manner of allotting theso lands in_keop- ing with the intelligence and dignity of a civilized people. There is na eloment of ambling in the plan suggested by Bishop g-' wman, for thoso who would draw would make no investment.” nau Likes the Id THE METHODIN Buggestlc of Visiting Tne quadrennial general conforonce of the Mothodist church will convene in Omaha on tho first day of May and continuo oue P\ month, ere will bo 500 delegates from all quar- ters of the earth, and thousands of visitors and spectators are expooted.

The total numboer of patients in 1501 was 146, or these, 114 have paid tho zular price, 17 have been partly paying and 15 have beea sutirely free. But theso freo paticnts have mostly been 1n the hospital a long tim OF the 4,630 nursing days, more that one- fourth, or 1,323 have beon froe. Of all the Li6 patients SO were males and 68 fomales; 03 single, 44 married and 9 widowed, With roference to their nativity, 61 wero Ameri- can, 1) Swedish, 20 Dapish, 5 Gorman, 4 Norwegian, 3 English, 2 Scotch, 1 irish and 1 Bohiemian. As to their church’ preference, 4 wore Lutheran, 21 Methodist, 5 Catholic, 7 Prosbytorian, 4 Baptist, 4 Congregational iat, 4 Iipiscopalian, 3 Chiistian and 11 with out any profercnce. As to residence, 74 came from Omaha, 11 from South Omaha, 56 from other Nebraska locatities, 18 from Tow from Connecticut and 1 from Dakota. The oldest patient was tho youngest 9 ionths; average 2U years, years. As 1o the character of all the difteront cases, Si were modical, 55 surgical and 4 ophthal- mic. As to the resuit of treatmont wo have got the following excellent showing: 76 33 improved, 10 unimproved, § died, emaining inhospital at New Year's. two ical operations have been performed. Many of these oporations were very diffi cult and important, and yot in most cisos we got tho very bost Tesult. The percentage of our deaths is 6 2. Comparing tho results ob- tained in ton eastern hospituls, some of them the best in the country, tho average percent age of death 1n these institutions 13 9.8, Our percentage of death is therefore more than one-third less than any other hospital wo know of. But tiad we adhered closely to the rulo of admitting ouly curablo cases, our per- centago would have been still less, Thres of those who died wore In a hoveless condition when received, but were homeless or too low to return home. Of seventeea cases of tv- phoid fever every one was cured. This extraordinary success in the troat- ment and care of tho sick can only be ac- counted for by tho skill of our surgeons and physicians and the faithfuluess of our sisters, combined with the excellent location and ventilation of our hospital. As to the financial part of our work I sim- ply stute that $4,311.12 ware received in do nations in 1891, ' From paying patients wo received #3,302.15. Tho ruuning expensos for the year were $3,705.00; the balauce was paia for furmshing theinstitution and on the old dobt. One gentleman of this city, who does not want his namo mentioned, paid $230 for the endowment of ono free bea for Last year. May miany other good people see fit 1o follow that example for this year!

Ho spoke of the carly history of Scotland, bich consisted chiefly of waraund bloodshed. ‘Then ho touched upon the Koman period and the advent of the early Christian mission- aries, who really carricd the Arst ligat into Scotland, Then came William _ Wal- laco and King Robort Bruce, the first great patriotic heroes of Scotland. Mr. Kilpatrick roferred to the foarful wars and dexporato crimes that at tended the formative period in Scottish na- tional life. Furtheron he spoke of tho union of England and Scotiand in 1603, ana the Elizabethan age in English literature. Age of Great M During this famous age, which produced a Bacon, a Shakespeare and a Milton, Scotland seemed ta bo struggling with chureh oppres- on. But a little later Scotland produced some of the greatest literary lights of the world. The _speaker then referred to Sir Walter Scott and Rovert Burns and the audience applauded tumultuously. Ho also mentioned Adams, Smith, David Hume, Cullen, Biack, John Hunt and_others. He spoke carnestly of the great ability of Dr. Novmau Mebeod, the great iidinburg divine, 8 Dr. McLeod was the Henry Ward Beccher of Scotland, Mr. Kilpatrick said, and after paying him'a glowing tributo he read one of his humorous poems entitled, *‘Captain Frazer's Nose,” which scomed 1o touch the risibilities of 'the audience very effectually. And then came the performanco that aroused tho Scotch enthusiasm and hilarity all over tho house. Mr. D. Mackenzie marched majestically upon the platform rigged out in u handsome Highland costume, playing a fine sitver-mounted bagpipe, which bo carried as usual in his hands, over mis shoulder and under his arm. Nutional Pride Aroused. ie wore a rich and handsomo Kilt made of black piaid with a aash of red in it that mado it vory attractive. His nose were the genu- ine Scottish Hichiander style, coming just above the calves of the legs und leaving the knees bare, and his feet were shod in tho highlander ' shoes with handsome silver buckles. The strains of music from the bagpipes sent a thrill of national pride through every Scotch heart present, and the s0l0 was greeted with prolonged applause. Theu came_the “Highlana fling,” danced by Thomas Meldrum and Krank H. Cantlie. The gentlemen were handsomely dressed in new Highiaud costumes, their” kilts being ornamented with an official equipment con-— sisting of the sporron or pocket, which hangs down in front and looks something liko an old fashioned gun pouch, a huge dirk swinging to_the belt and tho cairngorm, or shovlder ornament, glittering under 'tho flauntine tassel of their jaunty caps. The dancers were very agile and thoy ex- ecuted the somewhat difticult pedal gymnas- tics 1o the entire satisfaction of the audience. Tho performance was applauded to the echo and tho performers graciously repeated the dance. Mr. Mackenzie of course furniskes a stirring tune on tho bagpipes while tho dancers exbibited thewr dexterity and athle- tic skill in the management aud rapid move- ments of their lowor limbs ana feet. Mr. Diftin sang a couple of catchy Scotch songs that were weil received and tho largo audience went home well pleased with “Scotch night.” s iy Dr. Cullimore, oculist, Bee building et SoUTH OMAHA Cut His Throat to Save Him, Mr. and Mrs. John Winn are rejoicing that their only child, who was given up as dying with membraneous croup is now out of dan- gor.
