8 WHAT IT MEANS TO BE GOOD Features of True Christian Character Dec- cribed by B shop Bowman, AFPEARANCE CF EVL TO BE AVOIDED ") Freacher Gives Three Rules of His Own Conduct—The Danger in Certain Pop- ular Amusements - Differcnce Teo- tween Godliness and Morality. Bishop Bowman, who Is in the ity holding the Swedish Methodist conference, preached yesterday morning in First Methodist church to a large congregation, His sermon dealt with the blessedness and character of the good man. It was In substance as fol- Tow “The psalms are highly poetical, but by that 1 do not mean that they deviate from the strict integrity of truth. In fact, the eoncepiion of truth which they contain Is highly beautiful. Their authors drank the fountains of , and in vecords they put down what they found Some commentators have looked upon the psalms as depicting the progress of a man in sin. They think had become fully formed and was the Process of formation, Yel in we find a climax in the words un and scorner, and even in walketh. “The word ungodly means godly, and no more. It does ungodly a man is, but simply religlous. He may be a moral, upright, hon- est man, a good father and husband, but he 18 not religious. Sinner includes all this, but Boes farther. A sinner s one who Is guilty of breaking the commandments of God in his outward life. This is its meaning in th old testament. A scorner is both ungodi and a sinner, but he is more. He has been 80 far degraded in wickedness that he ridi- cules and scorns God, “A man is blessed who but he is not necessarily a Christian, A Christian_should be honest and m but ho must be a good deal more. He m consecrated to God. This the moral n not. The principle which animate selfishness, 1 do not mean selfishness which wraps one up in onescif, but that which forms plans and purposes ir- respective of God. He asks the question “Will this thing promote the interest of my- selt or of my fomily? But the religious man asks: ‘Will th's enable me to do the will of my Heavenly Father?” He wants to geo If his acts will please God. Then he Jecomes godly and his morality sprngs from s love of God, “The sinner has a way accustmed to walk. But avolds even the appearance of walking in his way. Sometimes he may blunder, be- cause he s not perfect, but he does not get into it knowingly. ere are fashionable mmusements whch are dimaging to spiritual life, such a neing, drinking, the theater and cards, Some of us may limit our enjoy- ment of these to a particular point and they will do us no harm. But the things that we can do many cf sur neighbors cannot. There fore, we should avoid tho very appearance of evil. We will be setting an example to some who cannot regulate their lives and lead them to destruction. There are three rules which I follow in regard to this. First, will not go anywhere where God cannot g with me. Secondly, 1 will go nowhere whence I cannot return and get on my knees d for the good it has done me. 1 will not do anything that mey damage someone else. There are only a few things that we cannot do and thou- sands that we can enjoy and become blessed. MEANEST MAN ON EARTH. “In the olden days of the church there was a certain part of the edifice reserved for the wicked, where the scorners used to #it. A scorner is the meanest man on earth. He does not be a man and come forward With arguments, but ridicules God and thus leads men astray. He points to a member of the church and says that that man Is not better and often not as good as himselt. That Is often the case. Christians are fre- quently tco negative in their character. Not only must a good Christian ask hims<1f what he is not to do, buti what he is to do, what God wills him to do. God's law is writ- ten In nature, His will s revealed in the bible. It is the letters which God has sent his children. There are some who do mot read the bible once a week. A father's or & mother's letters would not be treated that way. The bible should be read frequently. Then, when you have no time to read It, still you will have it in your heart and can meditate daily upon it. If the his- tory of infdelity could be written the causo of skepticlsm in ninety-nine cases out of 100 would be found to be lgnorance of what the bible contains. Thomas Paine, who wrote that there was nothing in the bible, said that he never had the patience to read it through. He becomes a skeptic because lLe did not know what it contained. The law of the Lord Is perfect. Any one who will study the book With one eye single to the truth will reach it. But the study must be pursued day by day. “A man bearing the positive and negative character of Christianity must be blessed and wise. He cannot be otherwise. He will have the testimony of a good comscience that e is doing God's will as far as he Is able. He has dono what he thought was right, and be will be braver. On the other band, how cowardly is he with the guilty conscience. But although the man of the good consclence Is joyous and happy, he wants more. Ho asks: ‘I8 this pleasing to God?' Although his conscience tells him he has acted to the best of his ability, he prays that it may please God. But these are only the witnesses of the present. How do they affect the future? They bring hope —hope based upon th: promise of the bible, an anchor, strong and steadfast. While life 18 not pussed in embarrassments and every- thing is peaceful, we do not think we have such an anchor. But when tho tempest rages, we look within our souls and find it there. And when the tempest ceases we pass through the golden gates and are safe,” In the course of his sermon Bishop Bow- man narrated many experiences in his own life and the lives of others to illustrate his conclusions. the om experience these that the character not in the aly, text slnner simply not say b that he is not is none of these, that in the of which he s godly man ———— The Modern Beauty Thrives on good food and sunshine, With plenty of exercise in the open air.

She embraced the opportunity to come to America when her relatives came over here to visit the World's fair. She went to Chicago and there she left her rela- tives for reasons which she refused to make plain. Since then she has traveled about in an aimless manner, not knowing where she was to stop. She claims to have received reguiar remittances from her mother, and about a week or ten days ago, after receiving $76 from home, she determined to travel. She met a strange lady to whom she took a great fancy who was going to Marshalltown. She concluded to go along. Then she was robbed, and being left penniless the authori- ties provided her with a ticket and she came to Omaha to await the arrival of her next re- miftance.

Re- Fare 65 ASE OMAHA, Sept. 15.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The taxpayers and citizens of this city seem to Be generally misinformed as to the cost of repairs on paved streats. The Board of Public Works has been cen- sured by many citizens for all-w'ng the Bar- ber Asphalt Paving company to resurface so many streets this scason, malking, in their Jjudgment, extravagant expenditures of publie money. The facts, however, are that the company has a contract with the city to keep all its asphalt streets In repair after having been down five years, at § cents per square yard each year for ail such pavement, paya- ble semi-annually During 1893 th contract cost the o'ty $18,- 844.67. In additicn, repairs were made not tncluded fn the contract amounting to $1,205.24, making a total of $19,649.91. The amount will be greater each year, and it will not be Ing before the cost of this contract will be more than $50,000 per y . As it Is, the city must pay just the same no repairing is done. Such being the ase, the Board of Public Works can only perform its duty to the general public by re- quiring the company to keep the streets in first-class condition, without regard to the number of square yards necessary to be torn up and replaced with new matorial. rhe number of miles of asphalt pavement is 20.66, Colorado sand stone, 24.00; vitrified brick, 10.68; cedar block, 2319, making a total of 78.62. If all the pavements were f asphalt It would cost the city for repairs an- nually $180,000, or nearly a tax of 1 per cent on the taxable property of the city, real and personal. Last year the city expended for re- pairs on the fifty-eight miles of stone, wiod and brick pavements, §6, J. H. WINSPEAR, Chairman Board of Public Works. Army Men Are An WASHINGTON, Sept. I5.

Upon the distribution of the estate of the late Senator Stanford, about 000,000 will to the university. The remainder of the estate will come under Mrs. Stanford’s control, which she will devote to the Institution during her life, and bequeath to it at her death. A handsome library building to cost $150,000, is what Mrs. Stan- ford wishes to commence in the spring. An exact duplicate of this bullding will be built 100 feet away to be devoted ta a museum and laboratories for the natural history depart- ment. These buildings will stand in front ol the present quadrangle, and as the build- iog plans are carried out in the future will be connected by other buildings, which, with a monumental arch eighty-six feet high in the center, will constitute the facade 1,000 feet long, of a group of bulldings and will be part of the outer quadrangle which will en- close the present one. Other bulldings to be erected are a memorial hall, to cost $50,000 and a chemical bullding to cost $50,000. 1t is proposed that the present facilities be trebled during the next two years, providing accommodations for 2,500 persons.

EAUtt of the Commercial club was seen by a reporter and asked for information respecting the status of the com- petition for state fair relocation. Private advices from Lincoln dndicate that powerful Influences are at work to prevent the fair coming to Omaha. It was Int:nded that the matter be settled next Monday, but for legal reasons it has been thrown over to the regu- lar January meeting of the State Board of Agriculture The commissioner Omaha's claims, and with the situation as said: ““The business men of the city have done all thit is possible to date toward securing the state fair at Omaha, so far as I am able to judge. The state board of managers fur- nished specifications they required compli- ance with in the bid m covering grounds, buildings, tracks, etc. The bid has been placed with them covering these specifica- tions. In the bid we name three different locations., Bither of the thres sites may be s:lected by them. These sites were put in so that all persons hiving grounds to tender for the purpose would have an equal or fair show. It is understood that the award will not be made until the annual me:ting in January. At that time we will be on hand, ready to give bond and gn a contract that will be good and acceptable it we should secure the fair. To do this it will be neces- ry to raiss $50,000 before January, and the people of Omaha will be given a chance to contribute soon “The next question of importance is the vote to be cast in January that shall deter- mine the location. The entir: vote will be about eighty, composed of twenty-nine mem- bers of the State Board of Agriculture and the presidents of the county fair associations and agricultural societios about th state. The most of those voting have not been lected yet, but will be selected this fall. We will then know the persons on whom our fat> depends. Undoubtedly they are sensible men has been pushing is apparently satisfled he now finds it. He and are not selected on any state fair issue, and will be largely without pr:judice. The ds, when opened, will be considered on their merits. So far as Omaha is concerned we certainly will present reasons why we should have the fair, and hope our offer and gument will prevail. “It seems Lincoln {s parading in the news- papers what its people propose to offer and to do, but it to me to be poor policy. The fair association certainly will not permit th old buildings at Lincoln to be put in a bid and accept ‘them for the next five years. The construction of new facilities and the $20,000 guaranty to cover deficit, if carried out in good faith by Lincoln, would necessi- tate the ralsing of $70,000. Any sensible pereon knows Lincoln could not raise $30,000 in cash for these purposes at this time. ‘Any thoughtful person knows that if the fair shall be located in Omaha that the at- tendance the first year, with good weather, would be at least 150,000, and the reven from all sources close to $100,000. Neces- sarily our bid will depend on the capability and integrity of the board, and there is no reason to question them. On the other hand there is every reason why we should have aith in them. Now about all we c to keep our house in order and await the coming of the day.” PR A WILL RETIRE FROM BUSINESS, One of the Oldest California Savings Banks Being Wonnd Up. FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.—It became known today that the California Savings and Loan society, a sayings institution that has been in business here for over twenty- one years, is about to go into liquidation. The directors of the bank are said to have SAN arrived at this understanding at a meeting heid iast week. At a meeting soon to be held the stockholders will be asked to rat- ify the action of tha directors. Though the state bank commissioners are said to have been investigating the affairs of the con- cern, it'is claimed that they discovered the bank's condition to be about as its offic:rs represented on July 1, last. The total re- sources of the bank were stated at that time to be $1,305 2 The bank's Habilities are given as follows: Capital paid up, $100,- 000; reserve, profit and loss, $54,839; due depositors, other liabilities 5. The bank's retirement from busi- is voluntary. Commercial deposits ag- ting some $20,000 will be paid at once, the ordinary depositors will have to wait until liquidation is completed before they will get all their money.

Tel. 557. o ot A CLAIM OF THE i Norih Amerlcan Commercial Company Com- plains of Breach ot Conteaet. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—In the United States circuit court the North American Commercial company put in its answer to the claim of the United States government for $130,817.60 on account of alleged breach of contract and handed in a Dbill to the government for $283,725 for alleged loss of profit arising out of ths same contract. The agreement in question was entered into be- tween the Commercial company and the United States in March, 1890. It gave the company exclusive right to catch seals about the islands of St. George and St. Paul Onalaska, for which the Unitzd States was to receive an annual rent of $60,000 for twenty years and $7.06% for each scal captured, in addition to a revenue of §2 for each meal sent here by the company. The government alleges that the company caught 7,500 seals during the firs year, for which it demands $57,187, In addi- ton to the $60,000 for rent. The company says that part of these skins wero caught by the natives and shipped by the com- pany, which never was aliowed the exclu- siva right as guaranteed in the contract. They offer $150,000, the amount of revenue tax, and no more. The company alleges that it had a right to seize 60,000 scals the first year and 100,000 each succeeding year, but while things with Great Britain were pending it was prohibited from catching any seals and thus suffered a loss of §283,- 725. It wants to be reimburs.d. TIME TO BUY HAS COME. Senator Davis Prodic That Business Must Now Improve. ST. PAUL, Sept. 15.—Senator C. K. Davis in an interview today said: “The American people cannot help producing. We have 70, 000,000 people and for sixteen months 70,- 000,000 of people have been economizing. But matters have reached a point where people must buy. This will have a tendency to im- prove business conditions and hasten pros- perity. “I think that the business of the country will gradually adjust itself to the provisions of the new tariff. And I think, also, that what the business men of this country really want s peace on the tariff question ““The issue of the next campaign,” he con- tinued, “is the conspicuous failure of the democratic party to administer the affairs of the government in diplomacy, in finance, in everything. The democratic party will be on the defensive throughout the campaign, en- deavoring to Justify its acts. The republican party has its record and will stand upon that He does not anticipate much denger to the old parties by A. R. U. deflections to the populists. e RACE FOR A TOIWN LOT. Cheyenne Indlan and & Cowboy Runa Dead eat. WICHITA, S:pt. 15.—A special from Enid says that the first annivirsary of the open- ing of the Cherokee strip was celebrated to day with all the distinguished personages of Oklahoma present. The feature of the occa- sion was an exact repr:sentation of the original race for the town site, the prize to the winner being a lot valued at §1,000. Fif- teen thousand people participated in the race but the real contest was between 4,000 horse- men, {ncluding Indians and cowboys, It was the most wonderful race, with systematic entries, on record. The prize lot was reached simultaneously by a Cheyenne Indian and a Kansas cowboy named Parks. These two will ride the same horses again tomorrow for the purpose of deciding the race, and as the dis- tance Is four miles, it promises to be very exciting. Already the Indians and cowboys have taken sides, and as they are traditional enemies, trouble is fear:d in case of any dis- pute arising. Tom CLEVELAND, Sept. 15.—Congressman Tom L. Johnson was renominated for con- gress today by the Twenty-first district (Cleveland) democratic convention. Mr. Johnson's nomination was by acelama- tion.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.—Snmebody stands to lose a million dollars on wheat, and San Frane in men are wondering who the victim is r months L. F augh- lin bought wheat for some unknown specula- tor until he had accumulated between 176,- 000 and 200,000 tons of wheat, for which he paid an average pi 0 per cental. At present prices he cannot realize within 35 cents of as much as he paid per cental for this immense quantity of wheat. It is sald by grain dealers hire that ex-Senator James G. Fair is the only man on the coast who has enough ready money to back McGlaughlin in a big deal, and it now looks as if he had made an error in his calculations that will involve the loss of $1,000,000. When Me- Glaughlin commenced fo buy last winter wheat was never before so low. Under the stimulus of big purchases price went up, but it soon fell, and wheat is now than ever. It is calculated that there are at present betwe:n 800,000 and 900,000 tons of wheat in the state that a market must be found for. Al this wheat must be shipped out of the country, and shipowners are hold- ing back for high charges.
