8 DIOCESE HONORS ITS CHIEF Tenth Annivereary of Bithop Worthington's Oonsecration Celebrated Last Night, TRINITY CATHEDRAL CROWDED TO DOORS Review of Progress of Church in Nebraska Since His Elevation to the Eplscopate— Tribute to His Worth and Acknowl- edgement of His Benefactions, By the timo the chimes In Trinity cathe- dral had ceased ringing last night standing room In the large edifice could not be ob- talned, The occasion was the tenth anni versary of the elevation to the episcopate of Right Rev. George Worthington, bishop of Nebraska. The services were impressive from beginning to end, and in addition to the clergy of the cathedral were participated in by Revs. Hewitt of Lincoln, Burgess of Plattsmouth, and Mackay, John Willlams, John A. Williams, Canons Doherty and Whit- marsh, Mac Nab and J. P. D. Liwyd, together with Assoclate Priests of the Missions Mathews, Johnson, Young, Wells and Silver. Canon Whitmarsh read a report of the progress mad: by the dlocese since Bishop Worthington took charge of it, of which the following is a resume: Including seven or elght stone edifices, forty-four churches, fourteen rectories, one parish _house, one parochial school —and Brownell Hall have been erected. The esti- mated value of these is $576,000, of which amount the bishop and his family donated at least $53,000. The permanent funds of the diocese increased during the past ten years $61,000. Several industrial schools, one paroshial school and a refuge for fall.n wcmen havo been started, and are in first s condition. At a cost of about $1,000 per year, fifteen deacons have been educated and or- dained, and from $7,000 to $8,000 has been expended annually for missionary purposes, and of this amount Bishop Worthington donated $1,000 per year, thus adding $10,000 more to his already princely gifts. Rev. Mr. Hughes of Lincoin and Rev. Dr. Doherty delivered congratulatory addresses, in which they gave voice to the esteem and love in which thelr sugerior is held by both laity and_priesthood. Dean Gardner then presented the bishop with an envelope containing $1,500, a memorial gift from the congregation, mission- arles and pricsthood. He sald that they at first designed purchasing some elegant memo- rial present, but that the bishop, hearing of their intentions, informed them that he would decling_any such gift, and that the only thing that he would accept would be money for the purpose of aiding the missionary work throughout the state. Bishop Worthington feelingly replied and thanked them for their Kindness to him, which he declared he could not put in words. ceed on different lines and in active op- osition to each other, it is inevitable that, € the work be done at all, it w imperfectly and_with a de[nnmme waste of resources. Moreover, those efforts, which would be so effective for good when directed against vice and unbelfef, or to- ward the alleviation of human suffering, are too often wasted In mutual recrimina- tion, ®0 that the preaching of the gospel of Christ produces, not peace and good will among men, but strife and hatred. Is there any sadder spectacle in this world than to #ee neighbors, who should be bound to- ether by stron tles of sympathy and ‘riendship, regard each other as enemies for the sole reason that they worship the God of mercy and love after a different manner? It must be evident to all that this condition of affairs is an evil one, and that it 18 gravely prejudicial to the in: terests of religion and to the welfare of mankind.

FROM THE HEART OF AFRICA One of the Dark Oontinent's Eminent Ex- plorers Now in Omaha. DR. HOLUB DESCRIBES HIS EXPERIENCES What He Has Observed on Crossing the Tralls of Livingstone and by Original In- vestigation - Two Lectures Yesterday to Be Followed by One Tonight. Dr. Emil Holub, renowned as an African explorer, and respected as a man of remarka blo courage and profound learning, is in the city. He has traveled extensively, and has spent twelve years of his life In darkest Africa. In conversation with a Bee representative last night, the explorer gave an interesting recital of some of his experiences in Africa. “I often run across savages who remember Dr. Livingstone,” sald he. “I have crossed Livingstone’s old trail several times, and 1 find that the natives of tne southern coun- try call him Njaka, which means the rain maker, and that the natives of mnorthern Africa remember him as Monarl, which means master in their tongue. The natives call me Ra, which translated into English, is ‘the father.’ “What do you think of Prof. Garner's the- ory relative to the monkeys having a lan- guage?’ was asked. “All animals, even elephants, have a lan- guage, or means of communicating thought,” replied Dr. Holub. “They have noises and signs which they understand perfectly. Monkeys may come nearer to the human articulation than the others.” After discussing some of the resources of Africa, the doctor expressed the belief that the plan to colonize Liber'a with American negroes was not feasible, and that only nes gross who were accustomed to the fevers of Louisiana and Florida could stand the cli- mate, FIGHT OF THE MA-ATABELES. Then the doctor spoke at length upon the subject of the black continent and some of its tribes. “There are lowlands,” he said “along the entire coast of South Africa, which in the main part are bounded by a high plateau ris'ng from 3,000 feet to a height of nearly 6,000 feet above the level of the sea. The southern part of th's plateau is overgrown with dwarf bushes. From this district of bushes, or the ncrthern portion of uth Africa to the southern portion of Cen- Africa, is a forest, broken here and thera by swamps, rivers, etc. I have traveled from Capetown through this entire territory to the 14th degree and 14 minutes south latitude, a d'stance of 2,500 miles.

The territory covered is 40,000 square kilometres, or 30,000 square miles. In 1807 Dingan, the king of this warlike tribe, with his followers, inhab'ted that territory on the southeast coast, now known as Natal. Dingan was killed in bat- tle, and was immediately succeeded by his son, known as Um-Selikaze, or, as the Dutch called him, Mo-Selikatze, who eventually, through a su. on of wars with adjacent kingdoms, succeeded in conquering the en- tire territory of the now known Orange Free State. From there he pushed farther inland, and eoon brought the Bichuanas under his sovereignty. He made all sorts of peace- ful overtures to the inhabitants cf Transvaal, but to no avail. They saw that through his schemes he would eventually be master of their lands, and finally were compelled to prepare for war, which this Napoleon of Afr'can chiefs forced upon them.

The money, he said, would go far to help along the good work of the missionaries in the diocese, and was badly needed.

Laub Butle Song—I Will ch a prayer for the welfare of the country. “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” was sung by the congregation, led by Mr. Payne, and then Rev. Dr. S. Wright Butler, chaplain of the Thurston Rifles, President Halford and delivered the principal address of the afternoan. Dr. Butler said that patriotism was next to godliness, as well as cleanliness. His sub- ject was “Patriotism and Religion.” Ameri- cans, he said, had reason to be proud of their great country and their great men. He did mot want to be called a big booby for it, but he could not help talking of the big things of the United States. Everything here is the Dbiggest on earth and he was proud of .it. “Why,” he sald, “we could tak: the whole republic of France, for instance, and set it down in Texas, and there would be an un- covered strip all around left for a public park 100 miles wide.” “We have the richest men on earth, too,” continued the speaker. ‘There are the Van- derbilts, the Astors and the Goulds. But I am sorry for Anma Gould. She ought to have better sense than to marry that dried up little count. But then the Goulds were always common. I remember playing with Jay when I was a small boy. He was a common little fellow then, but I remember he always got the biggest end of any game 1 ever played with him. Still I am sorry for his_daughter.” Dr. Butler exhorted tne young heroes to study their country’s history and imitate the lives of the great men, both as patriots and Christians. The services were interspersed with music by the Young Men's Christian association orchestra, and Miss Jessle Town on the plano, REVIVAL AT IMMANUEL BAPTIST, Introductory Sermons by Miss Edith 1, the Evang: list, Yesterday., In answer to the request of Rev. F. W. Foster of the Immanuel Baptist church of this city Miss Hill, an evangelist of Pittsburg, Kan., has come to the city to give a series of sermons and lectures at that church. Yes- terday she delivered two sermons, in the morning on “The Rock of Ages,” especially to Christians, and in the cvening on the text “Ask what T shall give thee,” more particu- larly to those who have not accepted the Christian faith. Both of the sermons were forcible and appealed to the hearers, In the afternoon Miss Hill addressed an audience of little boys and girls in a simple and serious manner. She attempted to show them the difference between a sinful and a puro heart, and how to obtain the latter by faith in Jesus Christ. Several of the little tots testified to their desire on bended knees to have thelr hearts purified. Miss Hill is the pastor of church at Pittsburg. When she was called thero a year ago, the church was on the yerge of disruption and had only thirty mem- bers, but now it has more than double that number, and s preparing to bulld a new edifice. ' She has been engaged in evangelistic work only during the 1ast two years, and has been very guccessul in it. Her evangelistic work so far has been done in Leavenworth, Atchison and other towns in Kansas, Mies Hill will speak every night this week in the Immanuel Baptist church, and she may possibly stay here during the week fol- lowing. Her talks will ba especially to non-Christians, and she will try to answer the objections which prevent them from en- tering the church, the Baptist BISHOP S JANNELL' PASTORAL LETTER Divislons Am n3 Christians Doplored—Das. sirabliity of Unios Emphasiz In all the Catholic churches of the eity was read yesterday morning the pastoral let- ter of Bishop Scannell relatie to the cbsery- ance of Lent. The theme of this epistle was mainly the harmeniz'ng of the religious dif- terences which prevail among those who bear name of Christians. He deplored the fact that In no part of the world were religious differences so notable as in the United States. It was impossible to deny that this condition of affairs was prejudic’al to the cause of Christianity. This religicus discord deterred & large class of people from even considering the claims of the Chriet'an religlon, as they preferred resting contented with the practice of a natural moral ty to entering upon an in- vestigation which had been so barren of re- sults for others.

He fled in a northerly. direction, and through his cunnning suc- ceeded in subduing the ten kingdoms of the Ma-Kalakas and those of the Ma-Tckas, Th's occurred in 1837. After that he with. stood all assatlt of any other nations, having at his command an army of over 9,000 war- riors, “At his death Lo Bengula, his son, main- tained the standard of the army and nre- served the awe in which he was held by others. After several years, howev.r, they were conquered by the Rnglish and Lo Bengula taken captive. The tribes have ac- quired great knowledge in the use of agricul- tural fmplements and are willing to have missionaries brought to their heretofore heathen country. ~ The women are faring much better aiso.” He spoke of the bushmen; of the much- feared ~ African buffalo, which is more dreaded than the lions, and the miserable life of the slaves. He described their manner of defense, and now that they were inclined to civilization, how they made use of all that is practical. The doctor predicted a brilliant future for the native African. Their diamond fields were superior to any in the world, and were well worth the attention of the world at large. TROPHIES OF THE TRIP. Dr. Holub's collections on his second ex- pedition included over 900 skulls of large mam- mals, 514 skins of large species of mammals, all set up; 2,264 birds and bird skins, 900 eggs, 220 fish, 702 mollucks, 543 reptiles, and about 35,000 other specimens, representing various departments of zoology, about three- fourths of them insects. In botany the ex- plorer took volumes of notes and collected 742 specimens of algae, 5,000 plants in the herbarium, 700 specimens fruits, seeds, bulbs, ete., and 200 specimens of different woods, In paleontology he collected 727 spec'mens of fossil reptiles, fishes, and plants, taken from the Trias beds of northeast Cape Colony. Over 500 specimens of minerals and rock formations illustrate the geology of the re- glons he visited. Many hundreds of sketches were made of specimens which Dr. Holub was not able to add to his collection, and thirty-two diaries were filled with coplous notes on the work of the expedition, The eminent explorer will lecture tonight at Young Men’s Christian association hall, rom here he goes to St. Louis and then re- turns to Chicago, where he will spend some time on his literary work, and later on pre- pare for a third trip to Africa, HIS LECTURES YESTERDAY, Yesterday afternoon Dr. Holub delivered a lecture at National hall to a large audience, in which he talked entertainingly of some of -hls experiences from 1872 to 1891, His to finish, and at the close of the lecture the doctor met a nimber of his fellow country- men and was later entertained at the resi- dence of Mr. John Rosicky, 1015 Williams street. Dr. Holub entertained a number of Ge mans last night at the Germania hall in a two hours' lecture on Africa. The lecturer described his travels and the manner and means by which he was enabled to explore much of the country inhabited by wild, u civilized and treacherous tribes. He de- scribed the climate and the soll In the por- tions over which he had traveled and the manner and mode in which the Inhabitants lived. He told of their religious beliefs, their superstitions and the dress which disti guished the higher class from the lower. T instruments of war used by the natives were lllustrated by drawings. Dr. Holub claims to have discovered traces of more enlightened races which have become extinct. He stated that while almost invariably the tribes were barbarous and treacherous, yet they knew the difference between right and ~ wrong. When an epidemic visited any of the tribes as fast as people were taken sick they were driven from the village and not allowed to return under penalty of instant death.

Preparations are now being made for a grand war concert, to be given at Boyd's on the evening of March 6, for the benefit of the Associated Charities and the Young Wo- men’s Christian assoclation, The entertain- ment will be musical entirely, consisting of all the stirring songs of the war, sung by the leading quartets and soloists of the city, accompanied by a full brass band. The songs will be the same as those sung at a similar concert recently given in Chicago or the benefit of the Presbyterian hospital. The stage will be decorated with war em- blems appropriate to the music, producing a stirring and patriotie effect. These concerts have been given in many of the leading cities of the east, and have never falled to awaken in the audience the enthusiasm that only war music and war songs can. The chorus will consist of 100 malo volces selected from the cholcest of Omaha's male singers. All music will be under the direction of Prof. Torrens. The following ladies have kindly consented to act as patronesses of the oc- casion: Mesdames J. N. H. Patrick, J.
