Archbishop Hennessey of Dubuque is Coming to Preside Over the Inquiry. PRIESTS WANT IT HEARD IN LINCOLN Argue that So Long as the Archbishop & Leaving Home at All He Might as Well Go the Whole Dis- tance at Once. LINCOLN, April 1.—(Special to The Bes.) Interest In the controversy between Bishop Bonacum and the priests of the Lincoln diocese has suddenly been revived by the an- nouncement that the hearing of the charges preferred against the bishop Is to be held at Omaha within a short time, The announce- ment brought a large number of the priests of the diocese to Lincoln yesterday afternoon and they w engaged in a consultation be- hind closed doors until late in the day. The trial will commence on April 12 at Omaha, and the hearing will be before Archbis Hennessey of Dubuque. At the meeting yesterday aftornoon it was decided to make an effort to have the order so modified that the hearing will be held in Lincoln. The priests of this diocese argue that inasmuch as the archbishop will leave home in order to investigate the charges it will be just as casy for him to hear them at Lincoln as at Omaha. A protest was drawn up and signed asking that the order be modified. The priests interested all reside within short dis- tances of Lincoln and most of the witnesses are living In the vicinity of this city. The charges and countercharges are all of the mcst serious nature and the feeling is exceedingly bitter on both sides, HIS LAST ESCAPE. Robert G. Donovan, for the past eight years an inmate of the State Hospital for the Insane, was tound dead at the cnd of a curtain cord at an early hour yesterday morning He had tied one end of the cord to the iron rs of the window to his room and had made a running noose of the other end, which hie placed around his neck. He had been dead for several hours when discovered by an attendant Donovan was formerly a citizen of Plattsmouth and was a B. & M engineer. He was brought to the asylum in 1886 and has been an inmate ever since. Twice he managed to make his escape, but was soon returne to the stitution. For several years he has been c sed among the liarmless patients and has been assigned to the quiet wards. He has been closely watehed for fear that he would make another attempt to escape. It is supposed that he secured the curtain cord while engaged in cleaning up one of the rooms in the resi- dence part of the hospital. He left a lotter behind him filled with incoherent sentences. Coroner Crim decided that no inquest would be necessary. PAROLED AND MARRIED.

The United Brethren church recently had a sat- isfactory split and twenty-three of its mem bers withdrew and organized a Methodist church in the town hall, and that order is now in a flourishing condition. The United Drethren, however, are not to be outdone, for their conference sent one of their best and brainiest ministers to this charge, a man who can by far out-preach any minister located here or that comes this way, so we can naturally expect weighty sermons from now on from each respective church Our wont to be peaceful burg is in some- thing of a turmoil just now on account of the county surveyor being here resurveying the town in order to establish legal lines and show just where we are at.

EBRASKA CITY, April 1.—(Special to The Bee)—The approaching city election, which will take place one week from to- morrow, is a subject of general interest and conversation at present. There has been 50 far no outward exhibition of excitement, but both parties are quietly working. The republicans have nominated H. H. Bartling, one of the city’s most progressive bus men, and the democrats have chosen D). P. Rolfe as their standard bearer. No par- ticular issues are involved in the campalgn, and inasmuch as Mr. Bartling has given the citizens economical administration his re- turn is certain, For treasurer the republicans have nomi- nated R. W. Kelly, and the democrats O. N. Watson. ~ Mr. Kelly is comparatively un- known, and Mr. Watson is an old settler, For clerk, H. M. Boydston, Bryan's can- didate for postmaster, is. the democratic nominee. C. W. Hoge is the republican can- didate. The Morton and anti-Morton factions will cut considerable figure in this spring's elec- tion. It will be noticeable, particularly in the democratic candidates for mayor and clerk, the former is a pronounced Morton man, and the latter did more for Bryan's election than any other man in the county. As the feeling is now, it means a republican mayor, a democratic clerk and treasurcr and the choice of four aldermen, with chances slightly In favor of the republicans.

Rev. T. . Salnts church of talks Views' Al eries Mackay, the rector of delivered the first of a “Tolstoi and His Religlous to a large congregation last evening. | He began by giving a brief sketch of the | Iife of Count Tolstol, that his hearers | could better understand the teaching of this remarkable man, The unrest of the age was then dwelt upon, and the growing feel that there is a discrepancy between the pi cepte of religion as taught by Christ and the practice of the same as seen in the lives of even the best Christians of today. The speaker declared that there never was a period in the history of the church the third century when this same convict | did not prevail to a greater or loss degr 1 cited as proof the monasticism of L and the Puritanism and feism of ter years, But the present agitation and unrest is more general than ev before. It is not the creeds or doctrines of the church which are assailed today, but its very life, The auestion® Is no longer as to the merits or de- merits of this or that system of religion, or as to the truth of the creeds. The charge brought by such men as Tolstol is that the chiurch has so far departed from the pre- copts and prineiples of its founder that jt is no longer worthy of the support of earnest, honest men; that it is no longer worihy of being called the ‘“church of Christ.” “Look,” say these men, *at this £o-culled Church of Christ. Here are Its followers or members, who would feel deeply wronsed If they were denied the right to be called Christians, and yet by word and deed they openly repudiate the distinctive teaching ‘of Jesus, the very features which commend Christianity as being superior to the other great religions of the world,” It is the failure of Christians or the church as a whole to apply the rules which Josus laid down for the government of life to the actual everyday life of the social and business world that has caused such men as Tolstol to declare that “‘the Christianity of our age and civilization ap- proves of society as it now e with its prison cells, its factories, its houses of infamy, but as for the teaching of Josus, which is opposed to modern society, it 15 only empty words Our entire social fabric,” Tolsoi declares, “is founded upon principles that Jesus re- proved; we do not wish to understand his doctrine in its direct and simple applica- tion, and yet we profess to belleve that Christ came on earth to teach men by his example how to live. The sayings and pre- cepts of Christ were meant by him as a guide to correct living, but believers and un- believers alike declare that it is impos- sible to put his teaching inta practice," ADMITS THE CHARGE TRUE. Is this charge trife? we may well ask Tolstoi declares that the sormon on the mount is intended to govern our life; that when Jesus said: “If a man smite thee on the one cheek turn to him the other also; If a man sue thee at the law and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also,” “lay not up treasures upon earth “love your enemies,” he meant them to be clear, ‘precise and practical rules of life, and that he never would have uttered them had he not expected that they would in some measure be lived up to. We must admit the truth of the charge which is brought against Christians of today. It is a fact that when the golden rule of CGhrist is mentioned as a possible solution of the evils that prevail it is met with a quiet vet firm reply that “to follow such a com- mand would resalt in the destruction of all business, and chaos would be the result. As Tolstoi says, we believe in the golden rule as an ideal toward which humanity ought to move, not as an actual rule of life. No one who has seriously reflected on the problem which Count Toistol so earnestly grapples with can have failed to reai':e the sad in- congruity between the life of Christianity and the teaching of its founder. No earnest man can read those wondrous sayings of Jesus without feeling that there is a vast gulf between his life and that plain, simple teaching. There are men today who feel in their licarts that this inconsistency between the life of Christians and the precepts of Jesus can be and should be removed. There are men who believe with Tolstol that these precepts are practical and can be carried out if we are only in earnest. Their number is constantly increasing. Whether Tolstoi is mistaken in nis assumptions I shall leave you to judge, as our next talk will be on his explanation of these commands of Christ. Whether mistaken or not the study of the subject can only result in good, and if we are only faithful it will arouse us to greater effort and bring us nearer to the life of our divine Lord and Master, Jesus Clrist. €not on since on the ot- LLING Rev. M. Patterson Opens a Series of Lectures to Young Men. At the First Presbyterian church last night Rev. J. M. Patterson began the April series of Sunday evening lectures on the general tople: “Young People for the Times, or Finger Posts on the Road to Success.” The text was, “I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do.” Fhe theme for the evening was, “Cholce of a Calling, or square Men in Round Holes.” By of introduction Mr. Patterson ref o the unknown possibilities that ped up in the lives of the young He expressed the opinion that all teachers, and especially ministe had a peculiar duty toward the young peo. (0 might lope to sharé in some measure the greatness and goodness the young might attain if they were faithful to the discharge of their duties. e e pressed the convic that the Christian religion had a peculiar relation to the pres- ent life and that the duty of the preacher is not so much to teach people how Lo die as to teach them how to live, One's choice of business must be made in the light of least three principles: First, the duty of every man to muke the most’ of himself.

Even though suggestive of a dozen comle operas, for there are bits of ‘Carmen,” “Plrates of Penzance,” “‘Mascot,” a motit from Schuman’s “‘Wanderer,” yet so cleverly has Mr. DeKoven worked that only praise is his due, for he has given to theater Boors an opera full of atmosphere and local color, The plot s simplicity itself, hut as the 1¢s are laid in Venice and Milan during the early part of the fifteenth century, when eno er the destinies of the Adriatic the opera rilllant costuming and attractive ago settings. The first act s a square in Milan, with the beautiful cathedral In the middie distance; the second act, located in Venice, shows a court in front of the grand eanal, with a fleet of gondolas in the middle ground and the palace of the doge, a setting that has been universally admired for its light and shade and wonderful effective o8, viewed in the light of a stage picture purcly. The third act is somewhat conventional, showing the garden of the Marchesa the stage being decorated for a fete, It is artistic, notwith- standing its conventionality, and rounds the opera splendidly But the succe very substantial houso being of the opera, and it won recognition last night, the crowded with music | depends not upon the scenic effect upon the company, and taken in its entir Omaha has not heard a more perfect comic opera organization than the Whitney cor pany, headed by that bundle of nerves, vivacity and enthusiasm, pretty and piquante Marie Tempest. She has a most congenial role In that of Francesco, the fencing master, who masquerades as a young swell in the fifteenth century, doublet and hose, but eventually love for Fortunio (Jullus Steger) compels her to tell the story of her life, to the rapture of Fortunio. Marle Tempest stands at the head of comic cpera prima donnal She has all the essentials of rich success, and never has a Londoner come to America with so little advance notice than the young woman who made a most pronounced impression last night, amountng \almost to an ovation How eminently worthy of the honors of men and the esteem of gods are the young forces of the earth, that, clothed in beauty, press on with high resolve and unfaltering purpose to achieve something supreme, not swerving one jot from the grand aim, though the world fling mocking pleasures at their feet, as in olden time the golden apple o flung to stay the feet of the runner. Miss Tempest has a rich, sympathetic, light n0, her speaking volce being even as captivating as her singing; essentially a comedienne she brings to the dual role an airiness and a fine appreciation of the many possibilities of the score that charm and delight the senses. Noxt to Miss Tempest, and she heads is rich In good, young volc stands Miss Lilly Post, one of the very reliable singers on the operatic stage, her performance of the Countess Filippa being thoroughly in her line of business. She was in excellent volee last night and in the finale of the second act took the house by storm with the strength and beauty of her upper reg- ister, and deserved to share the honors of a curtaln call with Miss Tempest and Mr. Steger. Miss Dorre also sings with effect, while liitle Julia Spencer, a bright bit of femini and Miss Langdon sustain their roles with credit. The men, however, are weaker than the women. Mr. Steger, whose Fortunio, while a picturesque study, lacks dramatic’ completeness, and he shows in his methods a newness to the stage, which will undoubtedly wear away when he acquires the requisite technique that marks the true artist. The comedians are headed by Richard Carroll, a very clever farceur, but whose low wit is galling sometimes to the auditor who s there to enjoy the beauties of the book and score rather than listen to allusions to the army of the Commonweal and General Coxey, Cleveland's shortcomings and lucubra- tions on the silver and tariff bills. Mr. Tre Denick would not be missed if he were out of the cast entirely. The same with propriety could be said of the tenor of the company, Mr. Gerome. But the company makes up in ensemble what it lacks individually, the mise en scene being of striking effect. The opera abounds in beautiful music, two or three quintets being finely sung. Miss Tem- pest has a jewel of a song in th ose and the Nightingale,” while Mr. Steger sings most eptably a herole number entitled “The Knight Brrant,” decidedly suggestive of Will Scarlet’s “Amorer's Song” in *Robin Hood.” The girls are pretty and the per- formance worthy of great praise. Zob' ut the Fifteenth Street, That a large proportion of the theater- going public is favorably inclined toward a simple portrayal of country life, with its quaint characterization and honest humor, is evinced by the favor with which these per- formances are almost invariably received. The domestic comedy, “Zeb,” which opened an engagement at the Fifteenth Street the- ater yesterday afternoon, is new to the Omaha public, but this did not prevent the theater from being filled at each perform- ance. The play hinges on the story of Christiana Ainsworth, an hefre: who has been adopted into the family of Thor Sanders, an Indiana farmer. The girl is not aware of her unsuspected wealth and grows up among ler simple surroundings without a thought of the world outside. The efforts of a pair of villains to rob her of her birthright form the plot of the story, and the performance is pleasingly filled out with @ number of musical specialies. Zeb, the hero, is a country lad with more honesty than polish, but in his homely way always succeeds In thwarting the plans of ““Tenie’s” enemics, and _eventually wins both her and her fortune. The part is taken by Mr. John T. Hansen, who fills the requirements very acceptably, besides con- tributing very largely to the specialty fea- tures. His imitations in the second act were especially well received. The star of the company {5 Miss Rose Melville, who rep- resents the unconscious helress. Her songs are exceptionally well rendered, and her impersonation of a bashful country maiden in the last act was a decidedly clever plece of acting. The last act also Introduces a male quartet that is considerably superlor to the average, and which might very ac- ceptably fill a_more prominent part in the performance. With one or two execptions the songs are new and catchy and are just far enough apart to make the performanc lively and interesting. Mr. Edward Eagle ton displays a magnificent bass voiee in con- nection with his part of the old farmer, and Burt Morris adds a tenor solo to the musical features.
