THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: ) MOXNDAY, JUNE 15, 1903 AMID BLOSSOMS AND GREENS Ohildren's Day is Observed in Many of the Protestant OLurches. PASTORS PREACH TO THE YOUNG FOLK and Recite d in Some in eceive Diplom of the Churches O Are Given, Flowers seem never to yleld themselves more gracefully to decorative offices than when they lend thelr beauty to children. Yesterday more than half the Protestant churches of the city were bowers of blos- soms and garlands, wherein the little ones spoke and sang and had sermons preached to them, diplomas handed to them and an- thems sung In their especial honor. In some churches the homage to the children was pald in the morning—at others In the evening, and in certain edifices at both sorvices. The scent of the June roses per- meated the femples, tiny canaries sung in gllded cages while the little girls in their faultiess toflettes and the little boys in shirt walsts and unruly hair, lisped brief verses which concerned chiefly the flowers, the pure air and the birds and the Savior. It mattered little, really, what the children sald or sang. The artlessness of their presence and thelr own oft-written irresist- ible charm won all hearts and refreshed, mayhap, some tired hearts, rather unused to loving by dint of long abstinence. Graduation for Sunday School Children’s day has grown to be recog- nized in nearly every Protestant church in the country. It serves as a graduation to the Sunday school classes and is the point of demarkation between the ‘primary’ and the “intermediate” and the ‘bible classes.”” Diplomas tled with pale blue rib- bon are presented to the classes by the pas- tor, and well bound coples of the Book to the youth on the threshold of understand- ing. The exercises vary, of course, accord- ing to the whims and tastes of pastors and Sunday school superintendents, and there is no fixed time for the day, but it is al- ways in the leafy summer, when there is plenty of green and flowers and feathered songsters. As a rule the preachers do not attempt anything very welghty in sermons, dwelling upon simplicity and the sublime contentment and calmness of childhod. At First Congregutional. At the First Congregational church yes- terday morning the entire morning service was given over to the children. Beginning with the primary department the classes carried out a long program, interrupted only by the presentation of diplomas by Rev. Herring. The latter had no time to make & sermon, as it was noon when the girls and boys had finished. The congrega- tion joined in the hymns and the pastor addressed the classes solicitiously when he gave them the bibles. The special music at this church in the evening was also in- clined toward the children and the toplc of the sermon was ‘‘Angels. In the First Baptist, Seward Street Meth- odist and Calvary Baptist churches the morning service hours were likewise given up to the children. At the First Baptist the exercises were similar to those at the First Congregational, while at the Seward Btreet church great attention had been pald to the adornment, which was exceptionally lovely and in keeping with the spirit of the ‘oocasion. Cantata at Calvary ptist During the speclal service in Calvary Baptist church the children under the di- rection of Mrs. G. W. Noble rendered ““The King's. Garden.” The cholr followed with a cantata, 'The Binging of Birds,' @. W. Warren, with solos by Miss Rob- erta pud Mrs. Noble. In the evening spe- ¢ial mugic was glven also. A children's day sermon was preached in Knox Presbyterian church in the morning and the exercises by the school were in the evening. Westminster Presbyterian ehurch had its special services in the moraing and & celebration of holy, communion in the evening. Trinity Methodist ~ Episcopal church had its observance in the evening and the Interior of the edifice was fragrant with roses. Miss Arnold sang several times and there were songs and recitations by the children. The pastor gave an appro- priate sermon in the morning at Castellar Street Presbyterian church and the special program was carrled out in the afternoon, the children of the Bunday school uniting with those of its two missions, Park For- est chapel and Ontario Street chapel. The evening sermon was an object lesson to old and youn Clitton Hill and St. Mary's. At the Clifton Hill Presbyterian the ser- mon preached in the morning was sulted to children and in the evening the Sunday school rendered the cantata, “The Knights of the New Crusade.” Rev. Yost preached an fllustrated sermon adapted to children at St. Mary's Avenue Congregational in the morning and administered the rite of baptism. Children's day services were sub- stituted for the ordinary services at Wal- nut Hill Methodist and in other churches of the city the occasion was recognized In & similar manner. BAD CANNOT BE BRAVE, MAN Sermon at the Kountse Memorial Church. Rev. E. G. Lund, LL.D., of the Lutheran University of Minnesota, Minneapolls, preached yesterday morning at Kountze Memorial church from the text, Psalm xxix, verse 17: “Be of Good Courage." He said in part: “I think we allagree in the common- Dr. Lund CUT PRICGE CIGAR STORE Don't pay fancy prices for your clgars— our list of Clgars 18 a “long one”—and em- braces all the well-known brand: Don't ‘be talked into buying “NO NAME" bran —by glib-tongued so-called “TOBACCO- NIST!

PYTHIANS' SERVICES AT MYRTLE HALL Workmen Gather Hanscom Park to Honor the Dead of Thelr Or. der, with Principal Address by Congressman Burkett, Members of Knights of Pythias lodges united at Myrtle hall yesterday afternoon to do honor to the dead. Dr. L. A. Mer- riam delivered the memorial address and these officers of the lodges took part in the exercises: Judge Slabaugh, chancellor commander, presiding; Thomas C. Darring- ton, vice chancellor; John Bexten, prelate; J. W. Malone, master of the work; John Fyfe, keeper of records and seals; Willlam C. Matthews, master of finance; J. A. Dal- zell, master of ceremonies; U. 8. Withrow, Inner guard, and Henry Knodel, outer guard. Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Miss 8ylvia Grace Cady, Miss Gertrude MoCullogh, W. E. Gratton, Charles Schwager, with Mrs. Oscar Harte, accompanist. During the morning com- mittees from the varfous lodges visited the cemeteries wherein were Pythian dead and decorated the graves with flowers. Dr. Merriam in his address pald tribute to the dead and to the living who re- member the dead. ““The laws of nature are the laws of God,” he sald, “and modern science 18 daily reaching out to discover these hidden laws of the universe for the advancement of mankind. We began our existence in accordance with chemical, physical and physiological law, and during every moment- of our development these external laws of nature are operative. “In the enfoldment of the mind and soul, conditions mould, make, fashion and determine for us what we are and shall be. Fraternal societies, all forms of gov- ernment and of soclety, are the natural exponent of existing conditions and as such are regulated by natural law.” Proof of the Natural Law. Dr. Merriam said that everywhere was there proof of natural law. ‘“‘Search the records of the historic periods during the last few thousand years and read of the birth, development, maturity, decline and death of nations, societies and languages, religion and individuals, and when properly studled, they are found to have been and are today replete with natural law every- where. S0 we observe that in all things in nature there comes a time when from accident, disease or old’age, all people and all things must pass eway." n concluding, Dr. Merriam sald: “There should be no fear of death. The childish and erroneous notions of an ignorant and barbarous age should be lald axide and the larger, nobler faith in nature and all that s and 1s to be should be entertained. Without our volition we find ourselves in this world of sorrow and gladness. Ere long we shall disappear and again mingle with the dust. Where shall we go?

The uniformed drill teams of Union Pa- sific lodge No. 17, Omaha No. 18, North Omaha No. 159, Gate City No. % and Ak- Sar-Ben No. 322, seventy-five men in line, fell in at o'clock at the Workman temple, and with a band marched. out Leavenworth street and Georgla avenue to the park.

It was given its first presenta- tion last night to a crowd In no wise di- minished by thé coming of warm weather. A8 a scenic production the plece is rather the heaviest yet offered by this organiza- tlon, but it was put on with all acces- sorles and went without apparent hitch or | friction. 1t is decidedly long, yet was given In ita entirety. It abounds in cli- maxes, and these were all worked up to the correct pitch, so that the audience had what Is by all 0dds the best set of thrills furnished at a Sunday night performance In a long time In Omaha. Mr. Siddons is at his best In a part like that of the de- voted courler to the czar, and had to ap- pear before the curtaln again and again to satisty his friends in the audience. Miss Pavey has a more heroic part as Marfa Strogoff, the Amazonian mother of Michael, than those in which she has been accus- tomed to appear, but she shows genuine ability in her characterization of the part. Miss Davis is cast for Nadea, and shows to much better advantage in the role than any she has appeared In for some time. Cecil Owen, the new “heavy,” joined the company yesterday and appeared In the role of Ivan Ogareff. He Is tall and of g00d presence, with a deep, resonant volce, and carries himself with an easy grace, and made a most excellent fmpression. The other characters that make up the long cast were ncceptably taken by different members of the company, and the tragic and humorous sides of the plece were well brought out. “Michael Btrogoft” will be the bill until after Wednesday. On Thursday night “The Man from Mexico” will be put on with Mr. Ferrls as Mr. Fitzhew v Ve S, ONE BUSY DAY AT THE PARKS Courtland Beach and Lake Manawa Entertain Thousands of Sun- day Visitors, Becauss of a defect in the automatic knife that frées the parachute from the balloon, one of the two aeronauts, Miss Daisy Broadwick, who are advertised to make daily balloon races at Courtland Beach, had a thrilling time in midair yes- terday. She and T. A, Cummings made the start from the park all right. At 300 teot the two balloons collided, nearly jar. ring the two from their holds, and it is supposed at this time that Miss Broad- wick's balloon gear became deranged, Cum- mings' came down without accident, but the woman's ascended to a great helght, only descending when the hot air became cooled. The crowd watching the aeronaut were apprehensive that she would descend into the river, as the balloon was drifting that way. The balloon came down with a rush fitty feet from the river bank. Miss Broadwick was not injured. It is estimated by both the street car offictals and the park managers that nearly 13,000 people visited the two resorts during yesterday afternoon and night. The five- minute service by the Sherman avenue line handled the beach crowds very nicely. The Council Bluffs line maintained the ten-minute schedule. The amusement and refreshment features of both places en- joved a big-Tush of business. Quite a number went: in bathing at both places. Covaet's band.at Lake Manawa and Nor- din's orchestra at the beach were thor- oughly enjoyad. A Ferris wheel has been installed at the beach. It was the Mecca of the children yesterday. gt detiaton £ e 1R LETTER INDICATES SUICIDE W, L. Walker Writes to Chief of Po- lice That He Intends to End Life. If the létter W. L.

Assessors’ Returcs This Year Show Increase of Three Hundred Thousand. | PERSONAL PROPERTY GENERALLY LI:TED | Aggregate of Real Esiate Asseasments In All Divistons Excepting South Omuha Not So Lurge as st Year. The books of the assessors, turned over | to the ccunty clcrk Jast Monday, so far as the clerlcal work Is concerned, are in very bad shape Only two of the assessors in the city of Omaha made a summary of the assessed luations as l& contemplated when they receive the books, and some of the assessors in the country precincts did not even foot up the columne on the pages. As & result a close estimate of the value of |the real and personal property of the county, as returned by the assessors, could not be made until yesterday. The figures here given are not those upon which the taxes will be collected, for the totals as given by the assessors are found in many cases to be Inaccurate, and a num- ber of the assessments will be changed by the County Board of Bqualization. Ac- cording to these figures Douglas county has for taxation for state and county pur- | poses 324,045,884, which is supposed to be | one-sixth of the actual value of all of the property of the county, which would make the actual value of the property of the county $144,275,304. This is divided Into $106,- 180,606 of real estate and $35,004,78 of per- sonal property, the latter not including the value of the property of the raflroad, tele- graph, sleeping car and banking companies operating In the county, which is not as- scssed by the precinct assessors. The figures as reported show a total in- crease In the aseessment of $: being confined almost entirely to the per- sonal property schedules, the real estate assessments, In spite of an increase of $2,407 in South Omaha, showing a total decrease of $639,577, which would make a total in- crease in the personal property schedules of about $5%,00, of which the city of Omaha furnished $609,07 and the city of South Omaha $20,546, while this total Is re- duced by $30475 by the returns from the country precincts.
