H. L. Smith & Co. The Hardman piano wins many friends, FOR THE OF THE SOUL Baptists Rem! f the Great Ben fits of Using Water, Rev. V. C. Rocho preached in a miniature corn palace yesterday morning and had a mammoth squash for a pulpit. It was “har- vest Sunday” and no one in the congregation could overlook the fact. The pulpit platform was completely transformed by the most unique and artistic church decorations ever secn in this city. The rostrum occup’ed by the preacher and the choir was roofed by a thatching of sheaves of grain. This roof was supported by six columns of vari-colored corn in the ear, and the adornments and arches were likewlse made of corn. 01 eich #ide of the pulpit we e pyramids of vege ables, a long-necked squash in rather graceful sem- blance to the modern vase surmounting onc while the other was capped artistically by a scalloped squash, with a little gourd as a crowning sphiere. In front of the pulpit was a mammoth squish, which would do honor to a state fair, and on eich side were bankel vegetables and fruit of all varietles of form and color, and yet so skilifully arranged as 1o give a very pleasing effect. ‘The sermon was one appropriate to the oc- casion, the topic belng “A Well Watered rden.” The text chosen was from Jeremiah And their soul shall be as a watered gar- den.”” The preacher glowingly pictured the benefits of irrigation, and then skilfully drew comparisons with the effect of the holy spirit upon the heart of man. As a well watered garden was fresh and uot parched, so the true Christian should be joyous and not de- spondent. Religion should make a man happy, hopeful and courageous. Another point of resemblance was that a well watered garden grew in beauty. So the life blessed by Christian inspiration and hope should be 50 beautiful as to be attractive to all. The third and most important resemblance was that of productiveness, "By their fruits ye shall know them.” He dwelt upon the fruits of the pirit and how they shall be cutivatel. The sermon sparkled with apt illustrations. In the evening the Sunday school gave a harvest home scrvice of & very interesting nature. Yes, the Eagle laundry is “that good laurdry,” and is located at 724 Broadway. Don't forgst name and number. Tel 157. If in doubt about this try it and be con vinced. The Standard plano next to the Hardman. Princely Peacemaker, Ono of the big thirteen-inch rifles, designed for the coast defenses at San Francisco, lay at the Union Pacific transfer all day yester- duy, and was naturally the object of con- siderable interest. It was mounted on the sixteen-wheel car made by the Pennsylvania Rallroad company to transport the sixteen- inch Krupp gun to the World's fair. The gun is the fifth mouster rifle turned out by the government ordnance bureau at the Water- vellet works. It is a princely peacemaker and holds the distinction with its four other fellows of being the largest gun ever made in the western world. Its projectile will welgh half a ton, which nearly 600 pounds of powder will send on its mission of destruction with an initial velocity of 2,100 fect a second, capable of penetrating thirty- four inches of the best wrought iron, or #oventeen inches of the finest steel. It: range. with an elevation of forty-five degrees, will be between twelve and fifteen miles. Both ends of the gun are plugged with wooden discs, and at the present time it is not a thing of beauty, for it Is smeared from one end to the other with a compound of tallow and petroleum. It is mounted on the car with the muzzle pointing west, grimly threatening auy enemy of the country that may dare attempt a hostile landing on the Pacific coast. It will go west over the Unlon Pacific this morning. Sideboards and center llbl at the Durfee Furnitur Chambers' dancing pupils.

Yesterday afterncon a negro, who gave the name of Tom Van, was arrested as a sus- picious character, it being suspected that he is a man who is wanted at Memphis, Tenn., for a murder committed in 1893. The arrest was made on information imparted by ac- quaintances of the prisoner to the arresting officers, Hudson and Bloom. Van strenuously denies that he has ever been in Memphis, and, although strongly questioned by Cap- tain Haze, made no incriminating statements, He will be heid under arrest until the Mem- phis authorities can be heard from, Van is supposed to be Sam Christians. Christians, with a number of companions, one of them named Earnest, were playing cards onc night in 1893 in a saloon known as the White Elephant, 300 Front street, in Mem phis. The card party broke up in a row in which two men were killed, one of them being the man named Barnest. Barnest was of | stabbed in the heart by Christians while 7| standing at the head of a flight of stairs the | He fell to the bottom and was picked up dead. Christians made his escape, although others of the party were arrested, and has not_turned up since. From the information given to the officers Christians was a hard man. Several years before he was accused of killing a man, but escaped conviction. Since he killed Earnest however, he appears to have Kept quiet, and has not been heard from, unless Van is the man. Van has character although charged kil Newro ¥ ur- b A 34 something of among the no crime has ever against him, so far known. He has been in the city year, a portion of this time being in employ of the Barber Asphalt company. He has a mistress, a colored woman, who, though she has not been in the city long, has been arrested several time he was suspected of being the woman who robbed the English traveling man, Whitney, of $8,50¢ in bank certificates of deposit and about $100 in_money. Van says that fie was never in Menphis in his life and knows nothing of the crime with which he is charged. He says he was born in Fort Smith, Ark., from which place he went to Wyoming, and finally came to Omaha.

She was very drunk and was confined in a cell with several other women. To one of them she suddenly said that she intended to commit suicide, and drawing a Jack knife she waved it In the air preparatory to taking the plunge which would land her in the other world. Before she could thrust the knife into her throat as she said she in- tended to do, the other woman weized her and held her until the fail ofiicials were summoned. They took the knife away from her and she lay down to sleep. The McLalne woman had several nar- row escapes from death. She is a morphine flend, and on several oceasions has taken much of the drug that she almost died. On at least one,occasion It was suspected that she took the drug with the intention of com- mitting suicide. She has frequently told her acquaintances that she intended to put an end to herself, but these threats were made usually when she was drunk. At one time it is said that she expecied a legacy of $150,000 with which she intended to cut a great swath in the realm of the local demi monde, but the legacy in some way failed to | connect and ever since she been morose over the fact DUNNE ng, za- M - REPUDIAT neapolis Tri erylew Was o Fake Mr. P.

They saw a small steamer entering in through a gap in the coral reef that fringes their island, and moving syowly toward the wharf. The only horse on the lsland was hurriedly hitched into his cart and trotted away to the landing with all the chilrden the vehicle could hold to help honor the oceasion. No wonder the fitteen families of Lord Howe Island cheered and threw uy their hats. It was the first time in half a year, says the Globe-Democrat, that they had heard from the outer world They were beginning to think that they were forsaken whe nthe steamer Thetis, from Sydney, suddenly appeared in the offing, bringing mails and supplies for the handfui of people on thie little rock in the big ocean, o It happened In this way. Though Howe Island is about mile sout in the cean, 1t is politically a part of New South Wales. Norfolk Island, several hundred miles <till further out to sea, is also nominally a part of the Australian province, though she lets both fslands shift for themselves the most of the time. Four times a year, how cver, the mail schooner Mary Ogilvie, has been sent out from Spdned to visit the oceanic outposts, On her last trip the schooner was ly wrecked on the preciptous coast of Norfolk Island. It took some month for the news to reach Sydney, and the dispatch of another vessel, and so it happened that Lord Howe Island was cut off from the rest of the world for half a year. The return of the Thetis with news of the islanders has brought the colonists of Lord Howe and Norfolk into prominent place in the columns of the Australian prezs. Lord Howe is one of the smellst inhabite nils of any ocean, and is typical of the few roc scattered here and there, which give sust pance to a handful of people. It is shaped exactly like a boomerang. It is eight miles fong and from one and a half to two miles wide. Its basalt sides rise, in places, 3,000 feet above the surface of the sea. It is notl ing but a prodigious rock thrust into the a by plutonie forces; and cne would think that people would be willing to serateh very hard for a living before they would isolate them- selves in such a home. A PICTURESQUE PLACE. But this half tropiesl island has extra- ordinary verdure and beauty. A reporter of one of the Sydney papers who was sent out cn the Thetis says he never saw anything so picturesque as those towering mountains, €oi- ted here and there with the little white cot- tages of the fifteen families who stood cheer- ing at the water edge. Etrange to relate cne of the largest buildings is the priron and it would be the most useless building on the island if it were not utilized as a general stove house. It has not held ap risoner sinco 1869, when an American was killsd in a fight over a woman. Next door to the prison ls the school house, and!this contiguity, under tho circumstances, is mot''&o very objection- able. Here the widow ‘0t Captain Cavage was leading stventeen little’ fofks along the path of knowledge, when the ery was raised, “A ship at last,” and schéol was dimisssd with- out any ceremony. ¢ But the peopleo f the little island are not very happy, and they blams' New South Wale for it. The island hak never been surveyed and the people are not''yet ‘permitted to hold land in severalty. The ‘young folks tire of the isolated life, and’ most ‘bf them emigrate to the matnland. Over 400 of them have left thelr native isle, and ‘this'fs the meason why Lord Howe isiand, 'thotigh white families have lived there for mbre than fifty years, has a population of ooly sikty-three. But the humble people have theif’ blessings. There isn't a physiclan among them, ‘and most of them di eof old age. Their medicine chest contains only one specific for all ills, and that is camphor. The all-pervading grip however, struck them a couple of years ago casting a gloom over the community. They raise plenty to cat, but they are very poot because they export so litle. A few year: ago the cucumbers of Lord Howe island wer: more highly prized in Australia for pickle making than the home product, but of late years the island cucumbers have developed ¢ Sudden tendency to rot on the vines, anc Australia no longer looks to them for pickles There is no such thing as theft, drunkennes or profanity on the island, but for all that the natives seem to lack a good deal that makes life worth living. THE PITCAIRN After a few days, the Thetls steamed away 500 miles to Norfolk lsland, to put this other speck in the ocean again in touch with the world. Small as it is, Norfolk is five times as large as Lord Howe island. Everybody has heard of the Pitcairn fsland- crs, but there may be many who do not know that three-fourths of the descendants of the Bounty, mutineers and their Tahitian Lord i ISLANDERS. wives no longer live on Pitcairn, but for nearly forty years lave tilled the soil of Norfolk or hunted the whale around its coast. It was in 1850 that the Pitcairn colony, grown too large for their two or thres square miles of territory, were all transferred to Norfolk, where these simple, God-fearing people were in striking contrast with the convict colony Great Britain had maintained there. The last of these poor wreiches had been taken away, and an era of peace succeeded the days of violence and ‘Dlcodshed, when the convicts, treated as they were with incredible severity, were shot lown even in the church where they some- times took refuge Two years after their removal to Norfolk island twenty-eight of the Pitcairn natives, homesick for the beloved rock on which they were born, were taken back to it, and their descendants are the Pitcairn Islanders of today. Their relatives on Norfolk have ad- mitted a good many strangers into the colony, but still the most conspicuous name: are (he Christians, McCoys, Quintals Adamses and Youngs of the original muti- neers. No more skillful and fearless whalers can be found. They have been known, when thrown from their boats by an enraged levia- than, more than once to give him his death wound, burying their harpoons deep in the side while they were floundering in the water. They are the most religious of men, most devoted to their people, and any of them would willingly die for the others. A while ago one of the Evanses saw a comrade tossed into the air by a wounded whale The man's leg was broken and as he fell into the water he was helpless. Evans sprang overboard, regachgd him just as he was sinking and held, him until help came, nearly half an hour Jater. He was asked “What would you haye done if he had died while you held him?") Hg replie should have gone down with him, that is all.” A UNIQUE:HISTORY. This little communhty has the ordering of most of Its affairs, and “fts history today is as unique as its beginuiug was remarkable. Fancy a clvilized soctety that pays no taxes and yet has pald offcials. This is because the Norfolk islanders have'money in the bank in hte community nakve.’-Years ago the Mel- avesian missions acquired” land on the Island for their headquartess by the payment of $25,000. This sum was added to $15,000, the part due to the Norfolk Islanders of the “Piteatrn fund,” raked'’In England. The §40,000 was invested in Sydney, and the In- terest pays the very? madest salaries of the chief magistrate, the' two councillors who assist him in public affairs, the pastor, the doctor and all the other expenses of the pub- lic service, except that each male adult has to give to the community nine days' work a year for road making and other public pur- poses. Every child between the ages of 6 and 14 must be sent to school, and their par- enty are fined 6d a day for every day they are absent without good excuse. Beer, wine and other spirituous liquors, may be landed on the Jsland cnly for medicinal purposes, and the smallest fine for intoxication is $10, which is a small fortupe in that neighbor- hood. Indulgicg in profane or obscene lan- guage or bearing fals ewitness are crimes that carry a heavy penzlty.

As we look over the myriad Islands in the Pacific we may sec white men on many a little rock who are voluntary exiles the Years ago a man named Bell, who w planter on a small scale in Samoa, decid to emigrate, with hie wite and children, to Sunday fsland, an uninhabited speck in the ocean, about 600 miles from New Zealand. He knew It was a lovely spot, fertile, tem- perate and healthful in 1878, he hired a trading schooner to land the Hell famil and’ all their possessions Sunday isand. There they have lived ever since, ralsing European vegetables and other crops, Every year or two a vessel would drop into Den- ham bay to see Itell, sell him some clothing and hardware and take away his market- able products. °Bell called the island his farm, and when he wished to sce the whole of it he had only to climb to its high point, 1,700 feet above the sea, and see th little waves lapping lis entire twenty mile of coast line, In 1888 England annexed Mr. Bell and his farm without €0 much as ask- ing his permission, and now he las to en dure a little human soclety, for a few other planters have settled there. Perhaps few of our readers have ever heard of Mre. Emma E. Forsythe, the daughter of Mr. oCe, formerly our consul in Samoa. Her mother was a Samoan girl but the beautiful daughter was educated in San Francisco, and is a thorough Ame: fean in feling. As a girl she had the rep- utation of being better acquainted with the trade and commerce of the Southern Pa cific than any American living in that re glon, and within the past fifteen years ce the death of her husband, her ener and Intelligence have enabled her to accumu- late a large fortune in a region of which very little 18 known. Casting about for a field of enterprise, she visited the cannibal island of New Britain, near New Guinea, and there she found a high table-land, where sho felt certzin, there was a chance to start profitable plantations. For a mere trifle she bought from the chiefs a large amount of land. Then she organized a firm of planters and traders, kept the control ling interest in hcr own hands, managed the business herself, and five years ago, and perhaps today, the company was doing the largest business under any flag in that part of the Pacific. The writer has not seen recent statistics of her trade, but five years 1go ehe exported 962 tons o feopra, thirty- seven tons of pearl shells, thirty-five tons of beche de mer and 27,000 pounds of South ea island cotton. She was employing fifty white men and several hundred natives, was extending her enterprises far and near, and Altkough only about 40 years of age, she had already amassed a fortune under a tropical sun and among the cannibal islands. She has proven that at least one woman can succeed where many a white man has failed. Inspire A mur- it he John 1] ¥ in New Liguid Fuel. A new fuel for steamboats has rcently been tested, first in the merchant marine and later on the Italian and Erench navies, with great success. The German navy department has just ordered experiments with fuel, which is called masut. It is, properly speaking, a derivative of coal tar, which In turn is manufactured from soft or bi- tuminous coal. This liquid fuel 1s carrfed in tanks, and is fed into the fire boxes through pipes, at the end of which a strong current of air atomizes the fuel and blows it into every corner of the fire box. A strong flame passes up through the tubes and walls of the boiler, burns almdst smokelessly, and levelops a considerably higher temperature than coal, generating thereby a larg:r amount of steam. It is claimed for this fuel that it will increase the steam capacity about 20 per cent. The first experiments on the schoolship Carola were so successful that the Navy department has ordered the battle- ship Welssenburg and the armorclad Sieg- fried to be spuplied with masut fire boxes, and the result of the experiment is looked for ward to with great interest. ———— Interexting Point in nsurance, An interesting cazc is now pending in the New York court of appeals, based on a suit to recover on an acc'dent insurance policy. The plaintiff was a rallway shop worker, who lost in 1892 the four fingers, part of the thumb and a portion of the palm of his right hand. The policy was for $2,000 and provided that in case of “loss by severance of one entire hand or foot" the insured shouid b entitled to _reccive one-third of the principa sum, or $666.66. The insurance compiny contesis payment on the p'ea that the plaintiff las not lost ‘‘one entire hand," although It is difficuit to understand just what value can be placed upon the hand in its prescat cur- taiied condition. If the defendant w'ns the case Justice should call for an amendment to the law which makes such a decision possible 2 St A Muxtache Six Feet in Length, The bearded freak of America, since the death of Adam Kirpin, is James Brown. who at time of last accounts lived near th village of Bealington, Braxton county, V& Va. He is a splendid specimen of man hood, over six feet high and of proportionate welght, and boasts that he has trimmed neither his beard nor mustache “since the war.” His moustache is probably the long- est in the world, being almost exactly six feet from tip to tip. A good idea of its length may be obtained by a knowledge of the fact that the ends extend beyond his finger tips when his arms are fully out- stretched. Birds Cause n Fire. An outbreak of fire near the roof of a dwelling house at Offerton this week is at- tributed to a singular cause. It s surn that, in bullding a nest, th birds had utilizei a lucifer match, which by some movements of the feathcred occupants on Monday even- ing beceme ignited. The fire brigade was cali:d out, but the occupier of the house with the help of his neighbors, had extin- guizhed the fire when the brigade arrived. The damage was confined to a part of th board near the roof gutter and a bird's nest g Not What He Meant.

This is not a p simistic view 1 take, but one based on actual facts gained by obscrvation. There are cases of newly married couples, when the sudden taking off of one seems an irreparable loss to the other and the manner in which the show their bereavement is sometimes affect ing, even to ourselves, who are popularly sup- posed to be heartiess wretches. You may often take this display of feelings for what it Is worth, but I should say that the people no make the least fuss are usually the most sincere, and that the others are the quickest healed of their sorrows. ““Speaking of the dread that a person has ot handling bodies, I remember an instance in my own experience that happened shortly before I went into business for myself. I was working fn a large undertaking estab- lishment in the east, and the orders for some time had been unusually heavy. 1 worked with several other embalmers ste one day till late in the evening. It dark when I left the room where we had cight or ten bodies in various stages of prepa- ation for burial to get my supper. When I returned about an hour later my com- panions had left. The room in which the bodies were received was a large, damp basement or the salesroom. 1t was reached by a long flight of stairs that ter- minated directly in the embalming room. 1 had no matches, but, knowing the place per- fectly well, passed down the steps and started for a match box that hung on the opposite wall. T had not taken two steps when I ran_into a ‘subject’ full force. I pitched headlong over it. Both fell to the floor with a rattling crash. The cold, clammy touch of that gruewome object in the dark with not a sound other than those made by myself is an experience that I will never forget.

I have been in this business a great many years, and I never came across such A case, nor ever knew any one else that did. The nearest approach fo anything of this kind that I have encountered was one of suspended animation, in which we held the subject for two weeks. The body was warm during this entire period, but there was nelther heart pulsation nor respiration. We waited until all animal heat had gone before the burial preparations were continued.
