Edward Hart Jenks in his sermon on the “Cares and Dutles of Woman," at the First Presbyterian church, Sunday morning Rev. Jenks based his remarks on the 'Nlves of Martha and Mary as told in e tenth chapter of Luke, on Martha's devo- tion to home duties and Mary's worship of Christ “While Martha and Mary were women of & high type and both were fuil of grace, {1 believe if 1 were to ask the women of this congregation who it was they thought most of, they would say Martha, becau her time was occupled in attending to the dutles of the home, % ould know that woman is not in- ferior.

Women can also make home a most disagreeable place, but the busband is also responsible for this.

To make the 1deal home man should be more sym- pathetic, take more Interest in the mak- ing of a home, and bring strength and love into it. A sympathy can exist between husband and wite without making the loads of care double. “But the caro of the home is not ail the duty of woman. She should go into the world and assoclate with men and women, giving them her ideas for the betterment of the world in bringing people closer to God. She should tell her ideals to soclety and make soclety better. MAN, AND WHAT'S SAID OF HIM, Rev. Hatch Preaches of Reputat and C eter. Rev. Frederick A.

Inereased in Big The great Empire state has been wotully deficlent in one respect, says Harpers Weekly.

The bowling season of 1902, which Omaha team won by such a handsome lead over all competitors, is now a part of the scorea that he and his males made In this connection it is germane to an- nounce that a bowling season of eight four games, such as the one just ended, will not again obtain in Omaba. This is the latest decision of the bowlers, who | have decided that one of forty-two games | is plenty long enough. Hereaftes it iy planned to have two sea- sone, session, the other in the spring. This is in order that the interest may be better maintained. With such a long run some of the teams fall so far behind that they lose all chance, and 50 give up hope. M. Z. Forscutt, assistant secretary of the Omaba Bowling league, bas completed the score resume of the entire season for all teams and players. Taking firat the teams, their status may be represented In two tables, as follows: 1) 2Nt 23 Omaha Clarkson German 8t. Charles. . Gate City Western Krug Park.. Natiofal ... 53 ] { bi;.‘:'.

Thus their totals are re- duced somewhat in proportion. Players on the Omaha team made 40 in- dividual scores for single game of 200 or better during the season, the Clarksons 30 Germans 30, St. Charles 38, Gate Citys 3 Westerns 31, Krug Parks 19 and National 15. The term contest used in the table means a series of three games, and the bigh and low total scores given apply to such a series. In computing the individual averages, the players are divided into two classes, those who have rolled thirty-six games or more, and those who have rolled less than that number, the latter not being entitled to participate in prizes. The first nineteen names In the longer list are those on the roll of homor, having an average of 500 pins for three games or better. p ! vidual Averages. Games.

ANTI-ANARCHIST BILL TO COME UP re More Stringent Th aed by Senate to Oceupy ter Part of Week with Hepresentatives, WASHINGTON, April 20.—House forecast The early part of the coming week In the house of representatives will be devoted to routine business, with a prospect that some important general legislation will be taken up during the latter part of the week. Tomorrow will be devoted to District of Columbia businees, Tuesday to war claims and Wednesday to the oleomargarine bill, which was amended by the senate. During the remaining days of the week it is prac- tically settled that the anti-anarchist bill of Chairman Hay of the judiclary committee will be considered. The measure is much more stringent than the anarchist bill passed by the senate. Plane also are on foot for consMering the omnibus public building bill during the latter days of the week. This measure has not yet been reported from the house com- mittee on public bulldings and grounds, but will probably be completed early next week 80 that it can be taken up later in the week. Beyond this no exact program has been ar< ranged. Two appropriation bills, the agricultural and naval bills, are about ready and may be brought in at any time, and the military academy appropriation bill is on the cal- endar.

Senator Frye, chair- man of the committee on commerce, who has charge of the bill, today expressed the opinion that there would be no debate on the bill, and that it would pas soon as it could be read. It is now understood that Senator Raw- lins, senior democratic member of the senate committee on the Philippines, shall lead off In the speechmaking in opposition to the Philippine bill, to be followed by other members of the committee and other democratic senators. The opinion is ex- pressed that the bill will be before the senate for at least three weeks. ABOUT BIRTH STONES, Must Wear Your Birth Lueky. To be really iucky, says Harper's Weekly, You must wear your birthstone. Some peo- ple seem to have no luck at all and were thelr cases to be looked into it would probably come out that they either did not know of the existence of birthstones or were not wearing them In the prescribed manner. The jewelers always keep a large supply of birthday stones on hand and are ready at & moment’s notice to make them up in any combination. The only trouble is that among so many beautiful gems some of the months should have such unattractive mascots assigned to them. Take, for ex- ample, March. What poussible beauty fis there in a bloodstone? It makes a very respectable man’s ring, but there is hardly & March-porn belle In Christendom who would rejoice greatly at seeing a blood- stone on her pretty hand. Yet a verse assures her: Who in this world of ours her eyes In March first open shall be wise. In days of peril firm and brave. And wear a bloodstone to her grave. June also is discouraging. In other re- spects it 18 & very pleasant month in which to be born. Roses are In bloom, the air Is soft and mild and the whole of nature is steeping itself In sunshine; yet it has nothing better to offer in the way of a lucky stone than an agate: Who comes with summer to this earth, And owes (o June her hour ol birth, With rln‘; agate on her Can health, wealth and long llfe commlnd But why must it be agate? The selection for August {s not much happler, though it holds out the promise of some things which are considered very de- sirable. It also contains a warning: Wear sardonyx, or for thee No conjugal felicity: “Tis must live unloved and lone, The t-born without this stone, It seems a bit unfair that January, which has the proud privilege of being the first of the months, should be assigned the stone which, among all the gems, s counted the least valuable. But perhaps it 1s only carrying out of the text that the first shall be last By her who in this month s born, No gems save garnets should be worn; They will insure her constancy, True friendship and fdelity. The rest of the months do better, and no one could possibly object to her stone who was born at any other season. If cold December gives you birth, The month of snow and ice and mirth, Place on your hand a lurquolu blue; Buccess will bless you, whate'er you do. The December girl has no fault to find with the turquol it looks exceptionally well on a white hand. By a bordering of brilllants February's stone can be made very ornamental: The February-born shall find Sincerity and peace of mind, Freedom from passion and from care, If they the amethyst will wear. But luckiest of all is the April mald. To her is the happy privilege of a soli- taire: She who from April dates her y. Diamonds shall wear, lest bitter tears For vain repentance’ flow: this stone, Emblem of innocence, is known. As a charm against tears diamonds always be welcome. May's stone s appropriate.

He discovered, however, as soon as work commenced that English bricklayers had a law among themselves not to lay more than 650 bricks a day, it working for private parties, or 450 bricks if on public works. After a day or two at this rate he called the men from their work and made a speech to them, saying tbat he expected every man employed by him to lay 1,800 bricks in his day of nine hours, and added that if they would not do that he would send to America for his bricklayers. The men naturally grumbled, and sald the task set was an impossibility, but after Mr Stewart and his American foremen had taught them a few Yankee tricks, they un- dertook the work and performed it easily. Then, as a reward, Mr. Stewart raised thelr pay 4 cents an hour. The result is that the bulldings were finished in a time so short for England that the American contractor is the most-talked-about man in the indus- trial world today. One newspaper grows enthuslastic about him in this way: “Mr. Stewart is an enginee” by profession and, judging by the importance and scope of his operations, he le to the constructing engineers of America what Sir John Alrd fe to those of Great Britain. He bulds bridges, dams, lovks, docks, hotels, manu- factories, canals and rallroads with equal facility. He has a record for getting things done in time, and is likely soon to stir up our master builders and contractors as much as he has aiready etirred up our men. t {s noteworthy that his first contract in England—the Westinghouse works—was co-existent with his first visit to this coun- try. In carrying it out he has not only made a record unparalleled here, but has also given proof that the British workman can do as much and as well and in as Httle time as the American, if you pay him well and know how to manage him. Mr. Stewart returns to America at the end of April, on the expiration of his contract with the Westinghouse company, but we have prob- ably not heard the last of him here.” CROSSING THE DIVIDE, of Secretary Hay in Roekl In his after-dinner speech at the ban- quet of the Omar Khayam club, says the New York Tribune, John Hay told of an experience of his while crossing the Great Divide. At dawn one morning, while the party was encamped on the summit of the divide, he heard a guide quote, “'Tis but & tent where takes his one day's rest. * * as he stood looking over the valleys at his feet. Irving Clark, a civil engineer who bas spent much of bis life in the Rockies and in Mexico, recalled the anecdote re- cently at the Sturtevant house. “I can- not honestly eay that I ever heard any- one quoting from Omar in the mountains where I have been,” he sald, “but I can truly say that I myself never have such wide thoughts, such vivid and, | may say, pure imaginative plctures, anywhere as In the wild districts where my work takes m And the same thing is true of most of the men I have met, both engineers and miners. I bave been thinking of it lately as I have walked about this eity. 1 have seen many men who have all they want of this world’s goods, who have fine houses and servants and luxury, many who have no need to work at all, in fact. Money is spent freely in the search for pleasure. Of an evening it seems as if the whole town were cut after enjoyment, care-free. But in the midst of it I long to be back in the great outdoors, out on the silence of the trontier. To work bard for a living, to sleep under the stars much of the time, to have little to spend and less chance to spend it, to know what an appetite means and to dwell always in sight of the skyline; that is the life of a eivll engle neer. 1 wonder that more young men do not adopt it. Perhaps it is not an ideal that appeals to twenty, but to forty the appeal is strong. ‘Women love thestory of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It means so much to their age and beauty. 4. C.

COLLECTING MENU Director of Comidie Franca Many from State D the Elysce. CARDS (Copyright, 1%0, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, April 20.—(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)— —Among the distinguished collectors of menu cards in Paris 18 no less a person than the director of the Comedle Francaise, M. Jules Clartie, Possessing an intimate friend at the Palais de L'Elysee, he has had the good luck to garner in the notable menu cards accruing from the fetes given In recent times by M. Loubet to royal guests. It appears that the homor of the introduction of the first illustrated menu card is given to Mme. Carnot, who commanded it on the occasion of the exposition of 1889 in Parl Before that time the monogram or coat- of-arms of the presidiog officers of the republic alone figured. M. Thiers refrained even from allowing his initials to figure on it. The czar of Russia and Queen Wilhelmina have, it appears, found the French menu cards much to thelr taste, for they have carried them away with them. But the kings of Greece and Bele glum and the shah of Persia have left theirs on the table. SHOWING FRENCH FURNITURE from July to ow Wares to itors. (Copyright, 192, by Press Publishing Co.)
