QUEST OF THE TRUE STUDENT | Dr. But'er's Bacoalanreate Addross to the Hieh £chool Seniors Yesterday, PERCEIVING GOD THROUGH NATURE Selence Is Religl n and the Truest Worship — Invisible and Eternal to Be Seen Through the Visible and Tempo Re The first commencement march of the graduating class of the High school was at the 8t. Mary’s Avenue Congregational church yesterday morning, when the seniors filed in to listen, to the baccalaureate address by Rev. Dr. Butler. The best seats in the house had been reserved for them, and, while the organ was playing the voluntary, they were escorted to their places as they appeared In procession from their rendezvous in the base- ment. If the sexes are not equally repre- sented in this class either glllfl‘ur boys were temporarily clothed with senloric honors on this occasion, for every lass had her male e:cort, Appropriately enough, as the dector said the scripture lesson was that portion of the writings of Solomon In praise of wisdom, and in the course of the preliminary services the pastor extended a gracious, formal welcome to the guests of the congregation, describing the school children of the United States as the builion of American civilization, ready to be stamped and put in circulation, augment- ing the moral forces of the land. At the c clusion of the sermon Dr. Butler gave eac member of the class a cordial hand grasp, and was imitated in this by many members of the congregation Dr. Butler is always more loglcal, dealing with pictures rather than with propositions, a statement certainly not lacking in commendation, since some one has made the remark, generally accepted as true, that the name of every great pro her §8 the name of a poet. And only yesterday morning Dr. Butler himself confessed a fee ing from which no other Inference can be drawn than that he fs prone to turn from facts, especially If they be hard, cold facts, to the fancies which facts suggest. Rather than be heid down to the contemplation of mere physical phenomena, with sight going no further because actual knowledge goes no further, he would prefer to have the fancies of the chill who in the forked lightning in the sky “saw Jesus strike a match.” Rather than that his astronomy should be a study only of angles and arcs and his conception of the celestial array as only a bewlildering infinity of whirling fire mists with its myriad of suns destined to gradually cool down into Arctic night— rather than consider the moon simply a mass of cold slag, he prefers to regard the heavenly dome vocal with the great language of God, inaudible except to the reverent Imagination, but fone the less authentic. As a rule, therefore, Dr. Butler gives imagery rather than argument; his di courses are kaleldoscopic rather than con- secutive, but none the less uplifting and in- epiring, and as many would agree perhaps more s0 on this account. The sermon yesterday was from the text: “The invisible things of Him are clearly scen, being perceived through the things that are made, even’His everlasting power and divinity.” The discourse was in the main an exhortation to seek to perceive the spirit {n and behind nature through materlal phenomena. The visible is much, but the invisible more; matter is much, but force more. It is possible to tell to the fraction of a pound the weight of the bodies in the celestial system, and their magnitude is im- pressive, but greater still than these mighty masses 1s the power that hurls and trundles and tosses them In their courses from one part of their orbit to the opposite. The things that are-seen are only tissue, vells, films and are temporal. The real and the important truth is the truth that is behind. The things which are not seen are eternal. It is the quest of the true student to see through these films and veils, to reason from cffect to cause until the succession is traced back to “Him of all causes the cause.” It is the old doctrine of looking through na- ture to naturc's God. Studious only of the things that can be seen, one will become mentally and spiritually short sighted, losing by disuse the faculty of higher perception. This leads to agnosticism and rationalism, while fajth follows the flight of the intel- Ject from things themselves to the spirit that creates them, maintains them and moves them. It seems possible that Dr. Butler does not believe literally in the biblical story of the fall of man, for he sald nature and man, who s a part of nature, hud been grossly mallgned. He said that if a child of his should, under his prohibition, happen to pluck & rose from his garden he would not on that account be so offended as to allow the garden to grow up Into brambles and he believgd God would do no such like thing. He belleved that man is not born a natural devil, but 18 even now made a little lower than the angels—in fact, that the creation that we know exalts God, is the garment ot God, the robing of the royal, infinite, eternal Invineible. Dr. Butler sees more in the clouds than watery vapors. They are to him the chariots of God. He hears more in the soughing breezes than a simple move- ment of the air; this and the sounding of the seas and the . swinging of the heay- enly orbs are to him the stately stepping of a power not ourselves. They are God march- ing on. Right here Dr. Butler is willing to worship at the shrine of the *‘poor Indian whose untutored mind sees God in the cloud and hears him in the wind.” 1t students cannot part this veil and look behind they can never leaven life. He was no student of the Columbian exposition who walked through the art stored buildings and observed only the things that were made, who did not_in his mind evolve the artisans, the personalities that made them. Reverent sclence, Dr. Butler declared, is religlon according to the strictest definition of that word derived from its etymology—it Dbinds, to God. Nature Is God's phonograph, into which from day unto day, since crea- tion began, He hath uttered speoch. Scien- tific research was urged, but only as standing in the vestibule of the unseen though vital Gud, only as beholding the vesture of God, simply the garment we see Him by. And reverent science s the truest worship. In the grove “in the tranquility that Thou dost love Is continual worship.”” Can He Whose temple no man has built, Whose fame the earth eannot contain, be pleased only with rite and repetition and solemn uniform ceremony and genuflection? He can be satisfied with nothing less than a worship which implies some recognition of His worth- ship. He who truly considers the lilies is a true worshiper. He who finds “tongues in the trees, books in the running brooks, sermons_in stones and good in everything'* is a true worshiper. ~ Reverent sclence sup- plies a table in the wilderness, a feast weeter than honey, riches more to be de- sired than gold. Keplar found the foot- prints of the Creator In red sandstone. Calculating the power of God as een in the universe Newton grew dizzy. We ad- mire the skill of a train dispatcher who sees that exprosses and frelghts shall run with- out collision or delay. But what about the power of God, who guides the Innumerable Worlds in thefr swift courses? “No talking to the man at the wheel.” He cannot suffer interruption; but God has time to listen to %c prayerp of babes and the chirps of spar- uman power {s overcome by Inertia. jod’s power Is everlasting. The universe is poiug on schedule time, and one may com- o to a second just where in the sky any rtain sun will be centuries hence. Il this means something. Every house s ilided by some man. He who built all fhings 1s God. What a robing is nature for somo unrevealed event. Continue therefore to learn. Final knowledge Is as for away as at first.

BEGINING TO THINK OF GHOSTS A Night Watch Is Kept and the Odd Sounds Heurd no One s Found Father Ryan Property. but The Mr. Charles D. Thompson, reslding at 2112 Douglas street, reported a very strange story to the police a few days ago. Mr. Thompson said that about ten days ago he heard footsteps on his rear porch. This was about 2:30 o'clock in the morning. He got up, but could discover no trace of any one. None of the windows or doors had in any way been tampered with, He returned to bed and thought no more about it the re- mainder of the night. The next night and every night since then ghoulish sounds have been heard and strange tappings on the side of the house and on the window panes. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are in no wise superstitious and rather than think there was anything supernatural in these things they would explain it by saying they thought it was some one endeavoring to get in_the house for the purpose of robbery. With the police this has little welght, as the sounds and knocks began at precisely the same hour and continued for the same length of time. Miss Jennie home with Mr. Schwenck, who makes her and Mrs, Thompson, related a very strange account of the occurrences that excited Mr. and Mrs. Thonip:on. She aid she had been living there for about two weeks. “The third night after my arrival,” ghe sald, “I was on my way to my room, which s up stairs. It was then about 10 o'clack, and I had a book which I thought of finishing before going to sleep. The stair- way leading to my room is so arranged that a lamp in the kitchen would throw & shadow on one #ide of the wall. This kghad seen on several occasions, but after going to my room I concluded to go to the kifchen and turn out the lght. On my way up I saw the same shadow on the stairway wall. It danced from one side to the other and would fall on the steps. I thought it might have been from the lamp in my room, so I went in and turned it out. Returning, the shadow was still there. Now, I am not a coward; neither am I superstitious, but this thor- oughly frightened me. I thought it very strange, but went to bed. It was then about 11, and the shadow remained on the stair- way wall. After sleeping, I thought three or four hours, T was awakened by the sound of what seemed feotsteps in the attic overhead. These were heard by Mr. Thompson also. I got a lamp, peered Into the attic, but could see nothing, and returned to bed. 1 was not disturbed further that night, but we made an examination of the premises. Every door was intact, also the windows, but on again ex- amining the attic 1 found that a little stained-glass window had been neatly taken out and set on the floor within. There was nothing broken, and how the window was taken out is mysterlous. It is directly under the roof and could not be reached from the ground without means of a ladder. I was now thoroughly convinced something un- canny was haunting the place. ‘The next evening I was sitting at a window when I noticed a hand appear on the sill. I looked out at once, but there was not a soul in sight, yet there were finger marks on the sill. This alarmed me further. 1 was alone at the time. About 2:30 the following morning I was awakened by what T thought feotsteps ascending the stairs leading to my room. Mr. Thompson also heard them, but thinking it was myself moving about made no investigation; I didn't dare to. After the sound of the footsteps died away 1 heard a rapping on the side of the house. ThiS Kept up a few moments and then the ghost or whatever It was we heard no more that night. “The night following It came again. This time the knob on the kitchen door was shaken violently and then a thump, as of some one throwing his body against the door, was heard. Mr. Thompson got cp, but nothing could be seen. The door was unin- jured. "The next night Mr. and Mrs. Thomp- son concluded to sit 'up and wait for his ghostship. Sure enough about 2:30 In the morning the sound of some one endeavoring to open the shutters of the rear window was heard. Then a couple of heavy thuds on the rear porch, then a sound as of one trying to break in the kitchen door. Examination fafled to show that anybody had been there, Nothing has ever been missed from the house and these occurrences have caused Mr. and Mrs. Thompson great uneasiness.” The statement they give to the police as possibly a cause of these happenings, Is in a measure connected with the recent death of Rev. F. Ryan. This property was owned by him and is very valuable. When he died he bequeathed It to a sister, Mrs. Lamb. There has been some difficulty cs to the dis- pisition of the property. Bishop Scannell, it is said, got hold of the property to the exclusion of Mrs. Lamb. The bishop rented the house as soon as he could, but in the meantime Mrs. Lamb employed counsel and was told by her attorney to move into the house as soon as she could. When she was ready to move her belongings there she discovered the bishop had rented it to some one else. She did not like this and has since then, it is said, endeavored to get posses- sion. In this she has so far failed. Mr. Thompson stated to the police that Mrs. Lamb might be able to account for the recent strange occurrence, but the police doubt it. Miss Schwenck sald she had read of ghosts and really did not believe in them, but her recent experiences have caused her to think a trifle. e~ CRANE TAKES HIS TURN. Unworthy Rensons Assigned for plaint Against Mrs. Bovee. Saturday a warrant was sworn out by John L. Crane, 1472 South Sixteenth street, for the arrest of Mrs. Bovee for adultery. In the in- formation filed by Mr. Crane he alleges that Mrs. Bovee is now living in open adultery with one John Ribes. This state of affairs has, according to. Mr. Crane, been existing for some time, in fact since Mr. Bovee left the city. It is also stated that Mr. Bovee is alive and well and residing in a town in the western part of the state. An officer yesterday went to the residence of Mrs. Bovee, 1311 South Seventeenth street, but did not find her there. Instead he found Ribes, but the latter would give no informa- tion regarding Mrs. Bovee, except that she had left some days before. He said they lived in the same house, notwithstanding it had but two rooms, one of which was used as a dining room, but he denied that their relations were improper. It will be remembered that Crane old man who was arrested weeks ago charged with criminally assaulting Pearl Bovee, the daughter of Mrs. Bovee. The mother used her endeavors to prosecute him and now it is said by the police that Crane has taken this step simply on account of the prosecu- tion by Mrs. Bovee. Crane and Mrs. Bovee were at one time very good friends, the latter taking him food and other necessaries he might be in need of. Crane is about 65 years of age. s Com.| is the some All members of the club, also taxpayers of Omaha, are invited to attend a meeting D;\IIY BEE M()\IMY JUNI of the West S4de Improvement club Mon- day evening, June 18, at & o'clock, at hall corner of Forty-fourth and Leavenworth streets, to disohes the proposition of the Platte River Catml company. MYSTERY DF THE GUM. What the Tasty Stleks Contaln No Maker I8 Willing to Tell. Do you chew gur ? In more techitleal terms, do you Indulge in that continuousy vertical, masticatory mov ment which is wo perfectly disgusting In the street car, but pardonably popular in the privacy of home? Nowadays everything is distinctly fin de slecle—or tries to be, says the Chicago Trib- une. And to be strictly fin de siecle means to have ‘a purpose.”” All the new and pop- ular books, for Instance, are ‘‘purpose’ pieces of fiction., And so the persistent gum chewer, much as he dislikes to see others complacently smack thelr lips over a bit of gum and sugar, hides behind the laudable purpose, so-called—a subterfuge, in other words—of improving an Imperfect digestive apparatus, of whitening the teeth, or of sweetening the breath. Said Pope: *Old politicians chew on wis- dom past.” This trulsm ls suggestive. But the modern chewer, whatever may be his excuse for the Indulgence, is addicted to something more tangible—and that some- thing is & pecullar conglomeration of stuffs. If your favorite brand s “viite gum your solace I8 in chewing paraffie—which is a mixture of various carbo hydrides—that has been dissolved at a gentle heat in olive oil and glycerine, It is stirred on cooling and afterwards compressed. The glycerine is supposed to keep it soft and to make it sweet at_the same time, It tolu occupies first place in your affec- tions you indulge in a mixture of balsam of tolu—which is made by dissolving orange shellac and gum benzoin in rectified spirit, with the addition of a few drops of the oils of cassia_and nutmeg dissolved in a little essence of vanilla—oatmeal and sugar. There is also spruce gum, made from exudations of the spruce tree. This gum from the manufactory of nature is regarded as both pure and beneficial. Whether the chewer of gum gets a liberal allowance of the proverbial peck of dirt which every individual is supposed to eat in his allotted three score and ten in the sugared, flavored, daintily-wrapped squares of gum Is a controvertible theme. There is, in fact, such a mysterious air of secrecy about the manufacture of these innocent-looking masticatory sticks that the would-be visitor, who is not given entree into the sacred precincts for love or money, is quite apt to think maybe “cleanliness is next to godliness” is not the motto of the chewing gum manufacturer. At any rate, there are innumerable stories afloat as to the ingredients of this decidedly popular American product. A chewing gum factory that claims the dis- tinction of being the third largest in the world may be found within the gates of Chi- cago. Though one is not permitted even to glance fnto the great room where the clang of machinery indicates the sacred spot, and though one cannot converse with the liege lord who, locked in his private office, con- cocts mixtures to tickle the palate of the pro- fessional gum chewer, there are many inter- esting things to be heard and many interest- Ing things to be seen in the packing depart- ment. One.of the managers laughed aloud at the bare suggestion of admittance being refused on the ground. that the ingredients are in- Jurious. “‘Some people actually think,” he said, “that chewing gum is made from old rubber boots and refuse matter. The fact Is that only pure materials are used, the principal ingredient being an exudation from a species of rubber tree native in Mexico.” “What is the appearance of this stance?' “It.is a thick brown sap of the consistency aud Color of maple syrup. We get it in the original_state, with particles of bark and dirt. This goes through a long process of cleaning. ' Then of course the process of making is-a profound secret. There is a man In oar employ, by the way, who for twernity-one years has done npthing else but cxpédiment -on. new ‘brands (ef: chewing gum. No, even - manager-could not take his wife through the factory, so rigid are the rules. Each employe.knows only his particular part of the work, so the secret of making, as a whole, Is preserved. “Are the materials expensive?” “Yes, for the original gum costs $1.10 a pound in ton lots, and the essential oils used cost:$4 a pint. These are the principal in- gredients."" “How long a time is required to convert one lot of netv material into chewing gum?” “Almost a week.” An interesting spectacle is to look in the packing room. Here great trucks filled high with strips of chewing gum a yard long and several inches wide, all carefully marked with geometrical precision into squares, are rolled in at intervals from the factory. The deft fingers of the seventy-five wrappers— young girls—break these strips into sec- tlons, wrap each In a tissue covering and then tinfoil and pack them away in paste- board boxes in an almost incredible short time. One girl has thus filled 1563 boxes in one day, there being thirty-six sticks in each box, or 5,508 sticks all told. This is an unusval 'record, however. —_————— Threntencd His Wife. Willlam Green, colored, a waiter at the Paxton hotel, was arrested last night for threatening to shoot his wife. Green said he had worked hard all day and upon going home found his wife had left. When she returned he was greatly wrought up and more so when she told him she had gone to see a lady friend, for he doubted very much If what she said was 0. Hot words followed. Green sprang from his chair, about to strike his wife, when he saw a revolver lying on the dresser. He snatched it up, and with the words “I have a notion to kill you,” pulled the trigger, but it was a blank shell, and before he could fire a socond time his mother:in-law, Mrs. Melinda Black, entered, and calling an offi- cer had her son-in-law locked up. i L Bull Hill Miners Send Threatening Letters, COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 17.— A private dispatch received in this city from Cripple Creek states that the Bull Hill miners are already forming a vigilance commitlee to rid the camp of the men who are not to their liking.

The trouble with these things Is that they come unawares and are often unsus- fected.
