LINCOLN, Bept. 28 —(Bpecial)—If the opinion o* & number of ministers of Lin- ¢eoln is the opinfon of the peopls of Lin- coln now and hereafter there will be no more churches erected in this great relig- fous city. The ldea of the formation of a religlous trust has been growing for many montius ahd on next Monday the Ministerial assolation will hold a meeting at which time it i expected the matter will come vl and probably an fronclad agreement will be made whereby the small church and the small preacher will become a thigg of the past. - & All this will be done in the interest of the people and In keeping with the times, Lincoin has at ptleant In the nelghbor- hood 5t:fifty-etx church- organizations of all classes ani sizes of membership. The idea 18 to cut down the number of churches and consequently the number of pastors, which, while 1t s not mentioned, would incidentally increase the salary of those calléd to remain in charge of the united churches. One miniater sald: “Everything - today 1s tending toward consolidaflon and federation, and it is in keeping, with the progress of the day that the chiréhes unite that they may become stronger and therefore more beneficlal to mankind: The fdea of the Ministerial as- sociation is {hat we recommend that the smaller churches in the same nelghbor- hood unite and the other religious organ- izations agree to keep of that particu- lar nelghborhood with their churches, In- stead, glving what encouragement and help they cap toward bullding up and strength- ening the united church already buflt, which of course would be in & central por- tlon of some neighborhood. A union ot this kind would take a burden from the people that they are now working under in that it would not be as expensive to keep up the one church. It would be of benefit to churchgoers becauss better preachers could be employed and better organizations could be effected.” ome Are Objecting. The efforts to consolidate the churches 1s considerably discussed because it is b lleved a move of the same kind is being quietly worked up by a number of people who are endeavoring to get a monopoly of the charity business. There is an organi- gation here known as the City Charity as- sociation, which has & downtown office and a salarted president or secretary who looks after the wants of the needy. Some belleve there will be too much red tape about the religlous affairs of the city like there s about the dispensation of charity, should the preachers succeed In their ef- forts. Recently a woman came to town pen- niless and wanted 40 cents with which to pay her raflroad fare to the home of her parents. It is said she waited two days and more while the association investigated as to whether she was worthy. % In days gone by Rev. Howe, an aged min- ister, looked after the poor and every year one citizen of the town gave him & car- load of flour for distribution. He kept no books and gave no account of the money collectgd and there was never & word said against him or his methods. Then along e the idea of the charity association, 1y organization..and the retirement and subsequent death of the Rev, Howe. Re- cently the charity assoctation investigated tbe Tabitha home and attempted to wrest the management from Rey. Heiner, its founder and superintendent. This, 1t is claimed now, was attempted with the idea of centrallzing all charity business so it would come though the hands of the city assoclation, Some who are on the charity associatibn are also in the church union scheme. Many, however, who are not in the charity association believe the union of the churches would be for the best in- terests of the town. Tabitha Home in Court. In & few days probably proceedings will be begun in the supreme court to annul the charter of the Tabitha home, & chari- table Institution now being investigated by the State Board of Charitles, and about “ which so much has been published recently. Th. -roceedings will be based upon a re- port of the condition of the inmates of the home who are compelled to work on the ‘Wisner farm under tho management of the supegintendent of the home. The farm and the condition of the boys employed there were investigated by Father Reusing of the Btate Board of Charities and Corrections, and his report filed with the governor shows that about fifteen or twenty are employed there and that they are compelied to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning and work until ¢ in the evening. They range from 10 to 14 years of age, #ald the report, and are not properly cared for. The report said there were no women on the farm and that the cooking was done by the boys. z The Wisner farm was leased from Henry Lelsge for ninety-nine years and contains about 700 acres. The boys are there under the Alrection of & son of Rev. Helner. Speaking of the manner in which the boys are housed at the farm Father Reusing #aid in his report: In the center of this long bullding I found long table covered with a dirty oll cloth imcn was used as a dining table, no other iture being in the room. Next to this Was @ room contalning & cook stove over which I found & boy crouching, sufferin from & chill. I felt his pulse and examine: him and fear that he will soon be a victim of typhoid fever, the surroundings being peculiarly favorable for such diseas: On the ground floor were two or threa other unoccupied rooms destitute of furni- ture of any kind. The upstairs rooms of this bullding are used as a dormitory. 1 found the beds totally inadequate to sus- tain warmth—the beds dirty and illy cared for and a general run down, dirty, slovenly aspect pervading the entire premises. Noth- |l’l{ about the place suggested the idea of & home or even of common, ordinary com- fort. I talked with three boys whom I found in the bullding. They were detailed as cooks and housckeepers. The oldest was 14 and the youngest 10 years of age From these boys he was unable to gain any information and he suggests that they All good doctors 4 prescribe Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral | P44 for coughs. tsaruc Heiner, who seems to be the responsibie party for this state of affairs. The so-called contract for ninety-nine years between Leisge and Heiner is against public policy, calling, it does, on the art of Heiner for the furnishing the la- r of Infants of whom Heliner is not the legal guardian and on whose behalf he has not the ht to contract. That the employment of children of tender Joars, in gungs under & task-master at rd labor, is un-American, un-Christian, unhumanly and wrong. That assuming the right of the man Helner 1o sell and barter the puny of these little ones for hire, he should in common humanity at least care for them humanely, protect their frail bodies from cold and give them at least a Jittle school- ing and an nrporlu ity for recreation. My conclusion, after careful thought and Investigation, is that true charity has no part in these proceedings, but that the en- tire scheme as far the labor of the: boys is concerned is purely mercenary. Some weeks ago the City Charity associa- tion made an investigation of the condition of the Tabitha home and agreed not to make Its findings public it Rev. Heiner would appoint & board that would be en- dorsed by the association for the manage- ment of the home. Rev. Helner at first agreed to this, but later changed his mind. The report of this committee was never published. Rev. Heiner s at present out of the city, but at that time he Henled em- phatically fll-treatment of the inmates, and of the Inmates taken before the investl ing committes none of them told stories of mistreatment. It was the beliet of Rev. Helner then that the charity organization was merely attempting to get charge of the home, and thus begin the consolidation of all charitable institutions under one head. Proceedings are to be started by the at- torney general at the suggestion of the governor. Price on a Political Mission. ‘W. B. Price, a beligerant democrat who belleves that the democratic party should have just as much say as Mr. Bryan in naming the next democratic candidate for the presidency and in making the next na- tional platform, left for New York City this afternoon, and while there he will hobnob with the powers that be in regard to the next rational convention, ‘Whether he had been sent for Mr. Price would not say, and neither would he dls- cuss what report he would make to the powers that be. Mr. Price wants to go to the next convention as a delegate from this place, and Mr. Bryan just as firmly ‘wants hiia to remaln at home, and it is generally belleved that the trip to New York just at this time has something to do with this fight now being fashioned. Price is perfectly willing that Bryan should head the Nebraska delegation to the convention, and he s perfectly willing that he control It to a certaln extent. Price however declares that if the conven- tion turns down Mr. Bryan and his ideas he will go with the convention. Conse- quently it is hard to understand why Mr. Bryan has taken a stand against Price as a delegate. The only plausible reason is that 1f the convention does not ndme a Bryan candidate and a Bryan platform the late presidential candidate wants to have at his back a delegation that will follow his lead from the convention hall. In the meantime both factions of the democratic party are lining up for one of the hottest fights ever held in the county, and just as soon as the coming election is over the fight will begin. The Bryan faction is led by Tom World and the other faction is led by Price and J. H. Harley, both of whom want to be delegates. Degree of Honor Convention. Representative hali was like the old leg- islative days this morning. It was the meeting of the district convention of the Degres of Honor of the Ancient Order of United Workmen lodge. A plano had pre- viously been installed and it was to music played on this that the marches were given. Both Mrs, Chapman and Mrs. Watts gave opening addres which were suffictently welcoming to call for a good response on the part of the lodge members, who spoke through the grand chief of honor, Mrs. Mary Lateky. Committees were appointed for the good pt the order and the work of the lodge was exemplified. Among those who took part were: _Mrs, Blanche Burns, the district superintendent; Mrs J. A. Calger, secretary; Mrs, Hoffman, treasurer; Mrs, Lena La Borde of Gretna, Mrs. Heicks of Omaba, Mr. Schultz of Beatrice, Mrs. Shanahan of this city, Mrs. Phipps of Havelock and others. This evening a reception was gfven to the grand chief of honor. This dlstrict comprises elghty-one lodges and includes about 2,00 members. Day of Prayer. A day of prayer was duly observed in all the churches of the city today and a union meeting of all the churches of the central Qistrict was held at 8t. Paul's church to- night. A noonday service was held at the First Presbyterian church and was well attended. Rev. Swearingen led the meet- ing and prayers were offered by mmuny others.

The State Board of Health has no legal right to compel the packing houses of South Omaha to get rid of thelr waste water by other means than sending it down through a portion of the fown to the Little Papplo. S0 Attorney General Prout de- clared in an opinion handed to-the board members this afternoon. The attorney gen- eral held that the aggrieved parties would have to appeal to the courts for rellef as the state board had mo authority to abate a nulsance as described in the complaint. The matter was brought to the attention of the board by the South Omaha Improve- ment club, the compiaint stating that the waste from the packing houses was sent through open ditches through a portion of the residence part of town and then emptied into the Little Papplo, where it rendered that water unfit for use by stock. Dr. 8. R. Towne Investigated and made soveral recommendations to the board as how best to deal with the matter and his suggestions were turned over to the law department for ah opinion as to the juris- diction of the board.

Yesterday the can- didates for ordination as deacons and clders were examined. Last evening Dr. G. W. Isham of Lincoln spoke on the work of the year at the Nebraska Wesleyan university. The running expenses of about $25,00 were promptly paid and the uni- versity Is clear of all indebtedness, Im- provements in the form of heating plant and labratory equipments have been made at & cost of $,00. The board of trustees are planning the erectipn of a sultable buflding for a conservatory of music to cost $0,000, and the sum of 311,850 In cash is now on hand for this purpose. The en* dowment has been started and has now reached $40,000, all invested in Interest bearing securities. The year begins with a registration of 500 and will be largely in- creased by the beginning of the next semester. The conference proper was called to or- der at 8:30 this morning by Bishop E. G. Andrews of New York. After formal open- Ing exercises the venerable bishop extended a few brief words of congratulation and ad- vice to the clergymen. The sacrament of the holy communion was then administered by the bishop, assisted by Presiding Elders F. M. Sisson, J. W. Jennings, H. H. Mil- lard and Thomas Bithel. Attendance is Large, On the roll call by Rev. J. B. Priest of Randolph, ninety-three clergymen answered to their names. A number more came in on the morning trains increasing the at- tendance to about 120. There are also a number of visiting clergymen connected with the various departments of the church present. The conference organized with the selection of Rev. J. B. Priest of Ran- dolph as secretary and Revs. W. A. Romnine of Allen, A. B. Mickel of Omaha and G. B. Warner of North Bend as as- sistants, Rev. J. P. Yost of St. Paul was chosen statistical secretary and Dr. G. A. Luce of Columbus as treasurer. The vis iting clergymen were. then introduced and addressed a few words to the conference. Dr. W. P. Thirkleld of Cincinnati, who is connected with the work of the church in the south and among the colored popula- tion, spoke briefly of the colored question which he considered one of the most im- portant before the nation today. A selution of it, he sald, devolved largely upon the churches and the question is not so much what will we do with the negro, but what will he do with us if he be not educated and redeemed to the higher lite? A resolution was {ntroduced by Dr. Mar- quette that the conference take action in regard to the sultable recognition of the semi-centennial of the beginning of Meth- odism In Nebraska, which occurs early next year. Dr. Willlam Gorst and Revs. B. 8. Leedom and D. C. Winship were ap- pointed by the bishop as a committes to prepare and present to the conference plans for the recognition of the sam Many Candidates for Delegat. The election of three delegates to the general conference, which meets in Los Angeles next year, was made a epecial order for Friday morning, the same time that the lay conference meets for the same purpose. A brief report of the Methodist hospital at Omaha was then read. The total num- ber of patients at the hospital during the year ,was 763 and It was estimated that nearly 1,200 were turned away for lack of room. The expenditures for the year were $16.040 and there Is now $24,000 in the bufld- ing fund, There are ferty-six deaconesses connected with the home and hospital, many of whom are engaged in work out- side of Omaha throughout the conference district. Reports from the different pre- siding elders were then presented. A no- ticeable feature of these was the number of new church edifices that have been buflt and old ones repaired and remodeled. The work of the church has generally been successful throughout the conference, es- pecially in the new towns in the northern part of the state, in several of which commodious churches have been bullt. The -election of delegates to the general | conference is stirring up much interest and there is no small amount of button- holing and wire pulling going on among the clergymen who feel that they are just the persons for the place. The list of aspirants is a long one and several bal- lots will be needed on Friday morning to determine who shall have the honor to represent the conference. Mill locates at Wahoo.
