8 THE OMAHA DAILY BER# MONDAY, e e e e e e e JUNE 17 MAN'S TENDENCY UPWARD Light on the Destiny of the Race from the History of Mankind, NO ROOM FOR DESPAIR AND DEPRAVITY Juman Aspiration that Wil Yet Bring Every Soul Into the Light and Beanty Which Belong to It—Dr. Chapin's Bermon Yesterday, ‘At the Universalist church Dr. Augusta &, Chapin's topic yesterday morning was “The Covenant of God with Man.” She said in part: As surely and as constantly as God sets the rainbow in the sky he ts mindful from age to age of the joys and sorrows of his human children. As He ministers to man's taste for beauty He ministers to his need in all things. The same divine energy that maintains a changeless order in material things makes for righteousness forever in the realms of the spirit. This Is the ever lasting covenant, and is the sure ground of eternal hope. There is given morning a perennial and most hope. Our thoughts sweep tory of our planet and we find man always advancing. Each succeeding age has found him invarfably somewhat better than he was in the preceding one. History shows conclusively the method of the unseen en ergy that control's man destiny. It shows that the controlling tendency of his nature 1s onward and upward Step by step since time began We trace the steady gain of man. Does this argue the total and inherent depravity of man or permit a bellef in such depravity? We are asked to believe t our first parents, in the garden of Eden stead of turning their faces forward, turned them backward. But the facts show that from almost the first hour of his existence man has been seeking for light and knowl edge. The Innocence and purity of Eden were those of the child of a day. When the first man and woman gained the power to dlscriminate between good and evil the made an advance step toward true man hood and womanhood. There can be no doubt about it. They now became responsi- ble beings and capable of acting with con- sclous purpose of good or evil. They had power to choose the good; and if sometimes they chose the bad that was better than no choice at all. They suffered the painful penalty of wrongdoing, but that was better than to go on In sin unrestricted or § norant that it was sin. When man has done good he has been blessed with the rewards of his goodness, and when he has done evil he has been blessed by the divine chastisement which in the shape of results recalled him to the fact that he was In the wrong road; and not unfrequently the retribution, in mercy glven, has persuaded or enforced his return, We are asked by the old thenlo; lieve that the tendency of man s and not upward.~ Th claim 18 found in the he has been from the Leginning going in the upward direction. Had his controling ten- dency been to evil he wonld not have been found, as age succeeded age, always in ad- vance of where the preceding one left him This Is not saying that he has not sinned and suftered, or that he has not wandered countless days In the wilderness, but it saylng that sin and suffering as well as oodness and reward have been his teachers, nd that in the wise providence of God they bave been made a redzeming influence In his life. 1t is impossible to lsok over the fields of hisory and shut our eyes to this unas sailable “truth, which s set as a bow of promise in the clouds of our human horizon. Let It suggest and confirm in our minds the great and glorious hope that this divine ten- dency, deeply rooted in human nature, will yet bring each and every soul into the light and beauty which belong to it as the child of the highest. This outcome is as certain as that we shall see God's bow in the clouds when we look through the morning mists or the afternoon showers. to all men this summer glorious over the his i to be- lownward best refutation of that undenlable fact that REDEMPTION’S SIGN Is BLOOD, Ministers Must French the Law in Judg- ment and the Gospet In Merey. Rev. T. W. Mathews at the Monmouth Park Methodist church preached an exposi- tory sermon yesterlay morning on the eleventh chamder of Revelations, his specific topic being “The Two Witnesses He spoke substantially as follows: This chapter opens with a vision measurement of the temple of God, the altar and the worshipers. What belongs to God is lald under his own measuring rule, Man's rule will not do. One says: “I don't like church. Tt fs too narrow. Let me measure it.”” He takes his little reed and measures 1t, and with his infidel hammer knocks down the straight gate and widens the narrow way. He makes them as wide as good resolutions as_broad as eclence or reason or human benevolence. He makes the brotherhood of mankind the religlon of the universe and his church becomes 50 spaclous as to admit every creed, or ro creed at all, however false or fair. Every order and every oracle must have'a place. This is man's measurement. God's measurement s different. He measures the gate and it Is stralght. He measures the way and it is narrow. The entrance is by the gate of repentance. The way Is by faith in Christ. Another says: “I don't like the orthodox altar; it is ton bloody. Lot me measure it.” He meacures It, but leaves out the blool. He lays humanity in the temple, and bows at that altar as a humanitarian. He erects an altar out of natural laws and worships at the shrine, or enthrones reison above revela- tion and pays his devotion to it. This Is man's measurement. God's measurement Is different. He lays in this temple the chief cornerstone as the only altar. He has laid it in blood and covered it with blood from a fountain ever flowing and overflowing with blood. Hallelujah! This altar is the Son of Man and Son of God, and is measured, not by humanitatianism, nor rationalism, naturalism, but by divinity. It is most holy, a world-embracing aitar, to which all who will may come. Leave It to the world's congress of religions to tacitly ad- mit that the false religions of the world are parallels to the religion of Jesus {n blessing and saving our poor falien humanity, but let the ministers of His proclaim, with un- dying faith a1d fervor, the power ofa cruci- fied and risen Christ as the only remedy for the malady of sin. In the awful wreck amid falling, flaming worlds, that will stand is Christ. Another says: “I don't like the orthodox worshipers, ~ They are too exclusive. Let me measure them.” And he marches forth & xast multitude, which no man can number; members of organizations and orders and companies and clubs with ritual and prayer- book and ceremony and paraphernalia, insti- tuted, however worthy they may be, only for the social and pecunlary benefits of men and women in the present life. His measure in- cludes them all. This is man's measurement. God's is different. Note that only the wor- shipers come under the divine measurement The outer court was not counted in. God counts thos: who, within his measured tem- le, worship Him in spirit and in truth. Th's s the first witness—symbolized by the two candlesticks. Only In accordance with God's measurement can the church have the wit- fiflnn power that will move the world to rlst of the the orthodox nor an altar The ministry Is the other witness gcuted by the two olive trees—witnessing in the two-fold aspect of the law and the gos- pel. Ministers must preach, not sclence nor politics (except by way of application), but the law In judgment and the gospel in merey. ‘This. lmagry is borrowed from Zachariah when the olive trees stand on elther side of the golden candlestick with its golden bowl with seven lamps. Seven goiden pipes supply the flames with golden oll, which is the word of life. Let these two witnesses be Kept bright and shining. - - - P spirit Lake, Spiric Lake, Spicit Lak Through sleeper via the Nortbwesiern Line commencing June 28, leaves dally for Spirit m. from Webster street depot. same, accommodations a ) litue lower.

BEN ALI AT COURTLAND, The Great Phillon with His Spiral Tower and Pyrotechnlo Display. Beginning with Sunday, Courtland Beach is to have one of the most marvelous and brilliant entertaining artistic novelties. Prof. Philion, who was such a feature at the Mid- winter California_fair, will perform on his revolving aerial globe, going through the most wonderful feats, It is one of the strongest outdoor attractions known, and the press and people both give it all the praise possible to_command. Philion, etanding erect upon a globe, only twenty-eight inches in diameter, goes through his marvelous feats of rolling the globe up and down the spiral tower runway and then across a cable, in every conceivable way; forward, backward, sideways, turning and pirouetting, all the time propelling the globe with his feet, and using no balancing pole. After recrossing the cable to the tower the final descent s made under a most magnificent and indescribable mammoth fountain of fire, which completely envelops the spiral tower from top to bottom. The surrounding lights being instantly extinguished the moment this most grand pyrotechnic display begins, the effect produced {8 a most beautiful trans- formation tableau, which never fails to create the greatest enthusiasm. At this stage of this most remarkable exhibition a steam car- riage arrives at the foot of the spiral tower. Prof. Philion then takes his seat and gives an_exhibition of v riding with this won- derful mechanical carriage, riding it in dif- it circles, cutting the figure eight and wing in numerous diff ‘rent ways how eas- his new invention can be handled. ~An fon of speed is then given, the whistle is blown and Prof. Phillon retires. Manager Arthur, knowing the qualities of this great novelty, has given Omaha people an opportunity he won derful performance of this marvelous equili- brist, and It now remains to be seen if Omaha will give it the lib-ral patronage due it. This is the first season at Courtland for Mr. Arthur. He is, however, well acquainted with the wants' of the amusement going blic, and promises, it his first effort for artland beach receives the encouragement merits, to glve Omaha a finest outdoor attractions obtainable Manager Arthur also announces for next Sunday a troupe of Arabian athletes—making a combination unequall:d at any outdoor re- sort in this country Sie Hassan B attracting of the serles All_and his royal Moorish troupe of Arablan athletes in feats of bal- ancing, marvelous tumbling, gun exerc living pyramids and other national sports and pastimes peculiar to athletic gladiators This fs the greatest aggregation of acrobatic and athlstic performers ever seen on any one stage. It was organized by Sie Hasean Ben Ali in the city of Fez, Morocco, February 1 with special ‘permission of his majesty, the sultan of Morocco, and will be in attendance at Courtland beach next Sun- day.

These are the days of schemers, A French- man signing himselt Comte de Clerico de Saint Germain has written a letter to one of he St. Petersburg journals, says the New York Tribune, proposing a lottery, with him- self as the prize. There are to be 1,000,000 chances, each ficket to cost one ruble. Any young woman who wishes to pay that amount in the hope of becoming a countess is en- titled to one chancg. The one drawing the “lucky” number Count Clerico promises to marry and Install as the chatelaine of his French chateau. The proceeds of the lottery he proposes to divide as follows: Two hun- dred and fifty thousand rubles for himseif, 250,000 for his bride, 250,000 for the journal which conducts the lottery and 250,000 for the poor of Russia. The count argues that this will be the lowest price—one ruble—ever paid by any woman for a bona fide title of coun- tess. He declares that he belongs to one of the oldest families in France, has a comfort- able fortune, unimpeachable character and an unsullied name, and that he will furnish documentary proof of his claims. His fortune, however, he says is not sufficient for him to live in the requisite fin de siecle style. Some of the French papers have treated the propo- sition serlously and express the fear that the oddity of his proposal will attract some one willing to pay 1,000,000 rubles outright for him rather than the one ruble at which he estimates himself. e The glow of the tea rose is acquired by ladies who use Pozzoni's Complexion Powder. Try it Ice Crack Thirty Miles Long. A curlous phenomenon is reported on Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin. In the middle of the winter the ice cracks open, the fissure extending lengthwise of the lake and almost exactly midway betwesn the east and the west shores. e opening averages from three to six feet In width and is nearly thirty miles long. It occurs every winter regularly, and those who are in the habit of crossing the lake on the ice make arrange- ments to construct a temporary bridge across the chasm. Teams hauling brick from the Calumet shore find that he crack is equally Qistant from both sides, and when a team starts from hoth shores at the same time the teams are sure to meet at the crack in the middle of the lake. The only explanation of the matter is that the extreme cold causes the ice to contract, and the contraction being equal to the whole mass, it causes the open- ing in the middle. Georgla's Py nival. Something unique in the way of an exposi- tion is about to come off at Macon, Ga. As told by the Georgia papers it is a peach car- nival, and it is expected that the peach grow- ing industry of the entire state will be rep. resented by exhibits. When it is remem- bered that on the lines of a single failroad system in Georgia there are 2,088,000 peach trees that grow fruit for shipment, something may be known of the present magnitude of an industry that scarcely existed twenty vears ago. Tha peach belt now extends over the greater part of the state, and some sin- gle orchards number 100,000 trees.

At 6 o'clock fast night Driver Christan- san pulled his car, No. 54, up in front cf the barns of the Omaha Street Railway company at Twenty-sixth and Lake streets, where he, the horses and the car were photographed After the artist had completed his work the car was driven into the barn and the bob tall car, so far as Omaha was concerned, became a thing of the past. Horses had succumbed to electricity and the driver, like Tago, was without an occupation. In 1867, when Omaha had a population of less than 15,000, a number of the capitalists of the town went before the territorial leg- {slature and secured the passage of a special act (ncorporating the Omaha Horse Railw company. The incorporators were Alfred Burley, Ezra Millard, George W. Frost Joel T. Griffin, J. W. Paddock, C. A. Chase, G. M. O'Brien, J. R. Meredith, R. A. Bird E. B. Chandler, John McCormick, Augustus Kountze, W. Ruth, J. F. Coffman, A. J Hunson and David Butler. At the first meet- ing of the incorpoators George W. Frost was elected president and E. B. Chandler sec retary. This meeting was held in the Omaha National bank, a small frame structure that occupied the site where the Omaha National bank of today Is located. This me:ting was held on May 1, 1867. At this meeting it was decided to build from Cuming street, south on Twentieth to Cass, on ghteenth, on Eighteenth to Capitol pitol avenue to Fifteenth street, on Fifteenth to Farnam, on Farnam to Ninth, and on Ninth street to the Union Pacific depot, a distanc of tiree miles, Soon after this active oper- ations were commenced, and in 1869 a single track road was built from the depot, then at the foot of Ninth street, up to Farnam and as far west as Fifteenth street. Four double end horse cars were put into the service, each carying a driver and a_conductor. The fare was 10 cents, or elght rides for 50 cents. From 1869 until 1872 there were no extensions made, owing to the hard times and the lack of travel, but in the fall of the latter year the town took on something of a boom and the company commenced to build on the route mapped out in the articles of incorporation. EXTENSIONS In the fall of 1872 the line wa: and bob tail cars were put o1, conductors being dispensed with and the fare boxes belng put into place, the fare being reduced to 5 cents. Soon after *his a numbar of ex- tensions were planned and built as rapidl as stock could be sold and money raised This continued until 1574, after which there was a sta reet railway building until 1876 the St. Mary’s avenue the West Farnam street and the Eighteenth line to Lake street were constructed. Thus matters ran along until 1584, when the rvad passed into the hands of Guy C. Barton, S H. H. Clark and Captain Marsh, who at once put in the Creighton college, the South Thirteenth and the Hanscom park lines. About this time the Omaha Cable Tramway company was organized and given a charter to build on Tenth, Dodge, Harney and North wentieth streets. 1In the fall of 1886 this company had completed its cable road from the Tenth street depot to Cass street on the Dodge street line and to Twenty-fourth street on the Harney and West Dodge street line. The road was popular, as it naugaruted the rapid tran: well as bringing into vogue the first uniformed employes. A few months prior to this time the old company had been completely reorganized and eral extensions made until the company operating seventy cars and using 600 horses. MERCER'S SUCCESS WITH MOTORS. In the spring of 1888 electricity as a mo- tive power was being talked and Dr. 8. D. Mercer, who believed that it was the rapid transit power of the future, secured the right of way over about all of the streets in the city, barring those over which the horse rafl- way company did not claim the right to operate. Using his own capital, he tried the experiment, and within ninety days he had electric lines running from Fortieth street and Ames avenuo to South Omaha. For a few weeks there was an interesting street raliway war waged in the city, injunction following injunction in rapid succession as the fight to hold the right of way on in streets progressed. Mercer's lines grew into popularity and people voted the old horse car too slow. In the fall of 1888 the old horse car company secured the control of the cable and soon after it consolidated with the Mer cer company, but not until the latter com- pany fad bullt its electric line to Walnut Hill. JImmediately after the consolidatio there was a complete reorganization of the compar a result, the Omalia Stre Railwa: into existenc keep pace with the town, horse car line after horse car line passed away, electricity taking the place of the animals which had been pull ing the cars. This continued until there w only one line in the city operated by hors: this extending from Twentieln street west on Lake to Thirtieth, and north on Thirtieth to Bedford Place, a distance of one and thre fourth miles. For nearly ten pulled the bobtail orth Thirtieth street line, Wi street rallway parlance s known as “Overland,” but today the horse: are stabled and as soon as the grade at Lake and Thir- tiegh streets is cut down clectric wires will be strung and electric cars will run from Twenty-fourth and Lake streets to the north- ern terminal. SPOILED THE HORSE Yesterday, when speaking of the change, General Manager Smith of the Omaha Street Railway company said that he hoped to have the line in operation within thirty da: Most of the old horse cars which were for- merly in the service are stored in the com- pany barns about the city, though some have been converted into double ended trailer while others have been sold to small tow in this and adjoining states where horse car lines are still in operation In speaking of the introduction of electricity 18 @ motive power, Mr. Smith remarked that it had played sad havoe with the horse mar- ket of the country. Ten years ago he said that scattered through all of the western states there were large ranches where the owners made a specialty of ralsing norses for use on street rallways. The average life of a stre Iway horse was from four to five years, and hundreds of thousands of them were raised and sold each year. With thc Introduction of electricity the business of horse raising had been killed off and many of the horse ranches had been closed, the owners going out of business or engaging in other lines FOLLOWED FAST. completed horses cars over years have the in the ch MARKET. —_— to Live in This Country Without hearing about the Northwes line’s evening “Chicago Limited,” for people VILL talk about its convenlences, tasteful- ness and comprehensive to-dateness Omaha, 5:45 p. m.; Chicago, 8:15 a. m.

Whether or not a teacher's training will be included in the educational facilities of Omaha during the coming school year 18 a question which fs scheduled for decision at regular meeting of the Board of Education this evening. For year or two past there has been a growing sentiment against the school, the board have arrived at school the the opinion that this purpose is not only any benefit pense. The training in operation committee illegal, but without commensurate with the ex- chool experiment n this city since 1889, was appointed asc prospective cost and report to the On its recommendation the school tablished and rules were adopted regulation.

But there was still an element which favored the school, and in the following January was re-established. The old rules, however, were not again adopted, neither were any new ones promulgated, so since 1893 the hool has been running on a wide basis, with no regulations governing it Several opinions have been rendered the attorneys of the board, in which was stated that the school represented illegal expenditure of the school funls his opinion was first rendered by Judge Baxter, and his opinion was reinforced by one from State Superintendent Goudy which the same doctrine was laid down The statutes explicitly state that the deci- sion of the state superintendent shall be the law in such a case until it is set aside by the supreme court, but, notwithstanding these rulings, the training school has con- tinued to exist and the taxpayers have footed the bills Since the school was graduated fity-one pupils.

This makes elght rooms which are taught at a cost of $4,000 a year. If there was no training school 1 teacher would be required for each room at an aver- age salary of $60 or $70 a month. This would aggregate an amount slightly in excess of the salaries paid to the four teachers o facts the supporters of the train- ng department argue that it is not in real- ity an item of expense, since the four teach- ers practically do the work of eight. It is claimed, however, that the teacher who has charge of two rooms with cadet assistants cannot effect the results that are accom- plished by a teacher who is at liberty to give her entire attention to one room. The controversy relative to the legality of tho training school s the main issue at pres- ent in_the board. Since the opinions of Judg> Baxter and Superintendent Goudy were received a law has been passed which pur- ports to permit the school boards of metro- politan cities to expend the public funds for training school purposes. It was immedi- ately discovered, however, that there was a defect In the new law. ' Instead of being under a separate title, 1t was tacked on tw the general appropriation law, the titls of which contains no allusion whatever to the ol law. Since then Mr. Powell, the atforney for the Omaha Board of has examined the law and the ns bearing on the case, and has sub- mitted a_ written opinion, fn which he tolkes the positive ground that the new law Is ren- dered ahsolutely void by the failure to have de of it in the tit] ADVICE TO THE CONTRARY. During the past few wecks the members of the board who are making’ the fight for the training school have obtained a number of pinions of their own which take issue with the attorney of the board. One of these Is sald to bear the signature of Superintendent Corbett, and it will probably itted at the meeting tonight. The others are from local attorneys, who take the ground that the mention of the purport of a law in th title fs not mandatory. Aside from the doubt to the validity of the new law there are several members of the boad who assert that the training school is a positive detriment to the schools. They claim that it is the principle of Lome patron- ige carried a little too far. There arec lundreds of experienced and capable teacher: who would like to obtain positions in th Omaha schools. But few of them can be iccommodated on account of the number of ining school graduates, who have the prior claim to consideration. These teachers are totally inexperienced except for that which has been acquired during their cadet- ship. Out of thirty-five who have been zlected since the establishment of the train- ing school nine have been dropped, and there are several more who arc far from being strong teachers. This induced the mem- bers to believe that the schools would be better off if the training school system had never been introduced and the board had been left free to select the best t obtainabl without regard to their graduation from any Omaha institution. ad t ard perfect safety with s may use the California liquid up of Figs, under all conditions thelr favorite remedy.
