THE OMAHA DAILY DEDICATES M'CABE CHURCH Bishop After Whom Iy is Named Preaches Oeremonial Bermon. PRESIDING ELDER JENNINGS TAKES PART Preacher Declares Religlons Per eution Prevails Today and Prays for Freedom in Re Godly Worship. Very Interesting services signalized the dedication of the McCabe Methodist Epls- copal church near the corner of Farnam and Fortleth streets yesterday morning. The seryices were begun with a very pleas- ing song service and the presence of Bishop €. C. McCabe, after whom the church is named, added speclal Interest to the ever Others participating in the dedicatory serv- ices ‘were Rev. Jesse W. Jennings, presid- ing elder of the Omaha district, and Re Thomaes B. Watson, pastor of the chu o The church was originally known as the West Omaha Methodist Ilplscopal church, and was located at Thirty-seventh, and Marcy ‘streets. About a year and a half Ago. the present site near Farnam and For- teth streets was bought and the edifl was removed from its old location to’ thi latter point. The name of the church was changed In honor 6f Bishop McCabe and upon its dedication yesterday it enters upoh & new era of life and prosperity, free from debt and with a bright future as- sured. The sum of $100, necessary for grading down the lot from Farnam to Harney street, was subscribed by the con- Sregation, Bishop McCabe being a lberal eontributor, Bishop MeCabe Preaches. The dedicatory sermon was preached by Bishop McCabe, who took for his text Isalah 4:2: “I will go before thee, and make the crooked places stralght; I will break in pleces the gates of brass, and cut wsunder the bars of iron.” He sald in part: “I Mke to see churches like this planted in this city. It is bound to grow and in Ume you will bulld a larger church and be able to pay for it, I can remember when there were but fifty Methodist churches In lowa. But there are now more Methodist churches in that state than all other denominations combined. I can remember, 100, When there were but twenty-five Methodist churches in Kansas, where there are now four zreat con- ferences and 1,200,000 members and the proportionate growth in Nebraska has been the same. And ‘'so is our church growing throughout the world. ‘“The words of my text is the meesage sent by God te Cyrus, the Persian king. Cyrus. was a bellever in religious liberty, and that was why God sent this message 1o him. Religlous persecution prevails to- day, is shown by the atrocities com- mitted in Russia and Macedonfa. The time has not even yet come when all men may worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience. I would Itke to #ee the United States and England wnite In the great cause of compelling the recog- nition of religious freedomi to all man- kind." Bishop McCabe told of a recent meeting with President Diaz of Mexico and the desire of President Diaz to extend the largest possible lMberty to church and edu- cational Interests in that republic. He desited the United Btates to send just as many preachers and teachers as possible to Mexico. At the conclusion of the service Bishop sang “Lead Kindly Light” in his characteristically impressive manner. ——— MAN, CRUGL MASTER OF WOMAN. Bishop Hamilton Emphasises Point in Consecration of Deaconesses. “What a wonder 18 woman's work and ‘what cruel treatment whe has recelved at thé hands of her master, man,” sald Bish- ©op J. W. Hamilton of Chicago, who made the address at the consecration of three deaconesses at the First Methodist church yesterday afternoon. The congregation was large and foliowed the ceremonies with in- tereut. ““Woman's life In the world has been a tragedy,’”. continued the bishop. ‘‘Man al- ‘ways has been.so arrogant and presump- tive in' his assumption of authority that he has taken it for granted, becausé he found a text in scripture that seemed to sapction the ruling of his own wife, he had the right to rule over the whole sex. What & miraculous revelation to woman has been_ christianity. Little wonder that she #hould .ba last at the cross and first ll the sepulchre. My own life has been & revolt u-lnn the restraint of womankind. It fs simply Paganism darkening the hope and destroy- ing the prospect of half the world. Every. Where there has been an under estimate of woman's opportunity, woman's service and woman's Influence In the christian ‘ehurch, Tt bas been the spirit of pagan- ism that has controlled the treatment of ‘waman in all of our churches.” Bishop McCabe had charge of the ser- vices whioh were simple, The women ad. mitted as deaconesses were Emma V Newberry, Lulu M. Mlllman and Jane M. Perkine. Mrs. Perkins is the visiting dea coness pf the First church, while the two others are connected with the hospital work. Thelr colleagues of the Omaha Deacoriess’ home and the white-capped nurses from the hospital were present in A body, Presiding Elder Jennings presented the candldates and. Bishop McCabe adminis- tered the consecration, the congregation assisting in responsive reading. FOR CHRISTIANITY AND CHURCH. Rishop Fowler Makes Defense at the ~ First Methodist, “A Defense of Christlanity and the Church” was the theme upon which Bishop Charles H. Fowler of Buffalo, N. Y., ad- dressed a large congregation at the First Methodist Episcopal church yesterday moming. In order to fllustrate.his views and to emphagize his argument, the speaker cre- ated & castle such as was common In the days of old. About thie castle he placed an imeginary wall.

These corner battlements, It was held, were monuments of the church and of Christ's coming which would last forever. The death and resurrection of Christ, it was urged, assured those who belleved In Him and had been saved, a victory over death. The fact that God has done 80 much for man, was held to be ample grounds on which to base a steadfast be- lief that Christ had not created man just for this world alone, but that He had a higher Mfe for man in the hereafter. If it should be assured that God had not created man for such an end, then, It was argued, there is an apology due from the Maker of the universe, for the hopes of eternal life which have sustalned thousands upon thosands of His creatures below, should not be permitted to continue if they have hope of this life only The unity of the Bible was emphasized in detall by Bishop Fowler. The fact that sclence, which at the first bent all Its energles toward the refutation of the Bible, had at last been forced to the con- clusion that the Bible was the greatest book of all time, was regarded as ample evidence of the fact that the Bible was inspired and that through it God had spo- ken to His creatures below. Bishop Fowler, in his early ministry, was troubled over the fact that geology. which was then in its inception, did not agree with some portions of the Bible. The speaker thought that if God had omit- ted these portions of the Bible which seomed to differ from the findings of the geologists, that it would have been & much better and more forceful book. Later when Bishop Fowler found that the Bible sus- tained all that the geologists afterwards found to be the truth, he was then firmly convinced that God knew what He was doing when He made this great book. DEAF AND DUMB HOLD SERVICE, utes Attend Services Held by Rev. James H. Cloud. An unusual audience gathered yesterday afternoon in the little Episcopal Mission of 8t. Andrew at Forty-first and Charles streets, an audience perhaps more united by mutual bonds than any other gathered on the Sabbath, and one the members of which were more isolated to the dally life about them than is the newest immigrant from the heart of Austria. They were the deat and dumb, drawn together by the com- ing of the general missionary of the church to the western and northwestern dioceses— Rev. James H. Cloud, minister of St. Thomas' mission for the deaf In 8t. Louls. Rev. Mr. Cloud, who is himself of the un- fortunate class to which he ministers, held services Saturday night and Sunday morn- ing at the institution Yesterday afternoon's service was not confined to the few offhand remarks, but included the complete prayers of the church, the congregation joining earnestly. It was not a quiet congregation, but one undisturbed. A baby walled appealingly through the sermon and none noticed except its mother, who vainly tried to quiet it. Two little boys, not the victims of heredity, conversed audibly on work-a-day topics, chiefly a toy wagon It seemed, but they continued unreproved by thelr father, and drew never a frown such as greets an over-lpud whis- per in a crowd with ears to hear. In the back ‘pews where the congregation could not see the moblle hands of the minister as he passed from point to application, showed the uneasiness reen at the edge of a crowd where the speakar's volce cannot reach, and irrelevant remarks passed from finger to finger, But when the contribu- tion to the work was taken almost every one gave, and If money talk: people have been told seine thousand times, the congregation was more fluent than many a church gathering among the folk of the five senses. Rev. Mr. Cloud preached on the subject of forgiveness, using & vehicle, the chap- ter of 8t. Mafthew dealing with the un- merciful servant. He showed that Chris- tlanity was the gospel of forgiveness, while there was none of the cuality of mercy In other religions, simply penalties and rewards. The same was true of na- ture, no forgiveness, but reward and pen- alty. So also of human law, punishment of acquittal and in consclence, there was no forgiveness, it continued to protest until it died. Forgiveness was the rudi- ment of Christianity. BEARING OF THE BURDENS Rev, Dr. Hoshear of Brooklyn Eluci- dates Seemingly Comflicting Passagen. The services at Trinity Methodist church Bunday evening consisted of a talk by Mr. McDonald, a laymau of Brooklyn, N. Y.; fine singing by the choir; a splen- did contralto solo, “The Ninety and Nine,' by Miss Nellie Tindall; a solo, “I Shall Be Satisfied,” by the pastor, Dr. Tindall, who goes shortly to Montana, and a brilllant sermon on “Christian Missions” by Rev. Dr. Hoshear of Brooklyn, N. Y. His text was from the two contradictory verses, “Bear ye one another's burthen, and so tulfill the law of Christ,”” and “Bvery man shall bear his own burthen. In the present age not the law of sur- vival of the fittest obtains, but that of mutual ald is now the rule. The speaker showed that oftenest bearing one's own burthen was putting one's shoulder under the great burthen of another, and this is the foundation of Christian ‘missions, of the great work of bullding up the kingdom of Christ In other lands. Christianity is larger than any dogma or theory ever in- vented or expressed. The dogmatic spirit is largely formed outside of Christianity. No man can justly claim to have a mo- nopoly of divine revelation or divine fel- lowship, nor s Christianity false humility; it is « vital force, a living power, a mighty principle, making mankind live higher, holler, better lives. It is true that every step of our progress, the uplifting of man- hood, the betterment of humanity is due to the religion of Jesus Christ. This is the cause of the inquiry of former heathen lands for our machinery, our products, our sources of advancement. They are anxious to learn the causes of our pros- perity and to appropriate them. Really, it would pay our nation to send our mis- slonaries to other lands by the thousand from & utflitarlan point of view alone. See what the blowing up of a battleship fn Cuba did for progress! We now send our school missionaries there, who are paving the way for & higher, even a Chris- | tlan clivilization. The doors of the world are opening wide. Let us enter in with zeal and the true spirit of Christ, and be forward to help humanity to Its highest viu%u o-..‘n; stage, even as it is now growing grander in its philanthropy and morality. Let the spirit of helpfulness pervade our lives, and so may the world the sooner be near to Christ.” Why Modity Milk for infant feeding In the uncertain ways of the novice when you can have always with you & supply of Borden's Bagle Brand Condensed Milk, & perfect cow's milk from herds of native breeds, the perfection of fofant food?

TALES TOLD BY TOURISTS Getting & Pension is All in the Knowing How to Oollact Evidenoce. MAJOR M'NICOL CITES AN ILLUSTRATION Other ¥ 4 in Hotel Lob- bles Between Meals and While Guests Are Enjoying Thelr Letsure, “The secret of getting a good pension lies wholly in the ability of the claimant get- ting In the right kind of evidence,” sald Major MacNicol, a former member of the Nebraska leglislature. “As an evidence of this fact 1 knew of a character in Iowa by the name of Osborn, who was an expert on evidence. “I was a newcomer in the town and Osborn lived a mile or two out of town. One day he came to me and asked me to £0 out and help him roof a kitchen. Belng out of work at the time I readily accepted the job. I had hardly got to work on the roof when Osborn's wife came tearing out of the kitchen and told me that her hus- band was having a fit down near the wood plle. I could see the wood pile from my perch on the roof and sure enough the man was in a fit and kicking around there lfke @ freshly beheaded chicken. 1 started to climb down to help him, but his wife sald it was not necessary, as he would soon be over It I climbed down anyhow and went to Osborn. He was on his feet before I reached him and though looking a little warm, did not seem to suffer much from his fit. He merely asked me if I had seen him in the fit. “Well, a few days afterwards Osborn came to me with an elaborately prepared aMdavit for me to sign, which stated that I had seen him In the fit. I signed it all right. Several days afterwards he had another fit in town, but was particularly careful to have three or four good citizens see the performance, and then he plied them for afdavits, which, of course, he got. Well, the result was that he fs now drawing a snug pension for epllepsy and heart disease and he got it, too, on those very affidavits.” John Dale, a former Sloux Falls resident, is prolific of political experiences in that state, and tells one that happened during a convention held in a country town in that state a few years ago. “It-was a legislative convention, and the hall, a rather frail affair, was crowded to the doors,” says Dale. “During the height of the proceedings a nasty looking storm came up from the southwest and the build- ing began shaking rather ominously. The proceedings were hurried through with and the storm became more and more threaten- ing. Finally the chairman announced that the hall had better be vacated at once and sulting the action to the word, he climbed out the back window. Scarcely had the hall been emptied when the bullding col- lapsed. The following day an effort was made to find some of the officlal records of the convention, and the only thing that was recovered was the last page of the secretary's minutes. The fragment was badly torn and nearly obliterated by the rain and wind, but enough was made out that read: “‘On motion of the house the convention adjourned.’ " “There was a chap living in eur old nelghborhood in Tilinols some years ago,” sald Tom Waddell of Olney, IIl, “‘who was about as vain as they make them. We were a farming community, and Dick Ben- ton, that was the chap's name, had spent a term at Central academy and conse- quently he was the Beau Brummel of that section. He courted and married the pretti- est girl in our nejghborhood, and we were all attending the reception or ‘Infair,’ they called it in those days, at the home of the bride. Some time before this some of the boys had organised a brass band, snd Benton somehow or other got the idea into his head that the band was coming %o serenade him that night. There was a pasture across the road from where the infair was being held and in it was a young bull. Along about the height of the infalr proceedings the bull got out of the pasture and came up toward the house and was mooing so that he could be heard in the house. Fenton at once made up his mind that it was the band coming for the sere- nade, 80 he and his bride went out on the porch to meet the boys and give them a little speech, taking with them a tray of cuke and other goodies as a treat. He waited there half an hour for the band to appear and finally a committee was sent out to find the band and only succeeded in discovering the young bull as the cause of all the disturbance.” “I was running & newspaper out in western Nebraska a few years ago,” sald Bob High of Lincoln, “and one day an old fellow came Into the office with a hand- some gold-headed cane, and told me & very pretty story about the cane being presented to him by his neighbors upon his departure from his old home to take up his residence in town. I wrote the story up in fine shape, and the old fellow bought a whole raft of the papers. “A week or ten days later some fellows from his old nelghborhood came into the office and began guying me for printing the cape story, and asserted that it was & hoax all through. I investigated the matter and learned that T had been badly strung by the old cuss. The facts of the case were that the night before the old chap's departure he had given a supper at his house and had the cane there and engaged one of his children to go around through the crowd and try and get them to subscribe for the cane to present to his pa. Well, they didn't all subscribe, though some of them gave a quarter for the pur- pose. As the old man couldn’t raise enough to pay for the cane he just rented it for a few days and then worked his old presenta- tion story off on me. The joweler from whom he rented it sald it was only a & cane anyhow, but the old fellow paid him half & dollar for the rental of it." —— RATIONS BAD AS BULLETS Army Food Has No Attrao- for a Polite Spanish omcer. America During the army maneuvers at Fort Riley, a pumber of foreign officers were present military attaches to observe the movements. They were, of course, ex- tended every courtesy and messed at divi- slon headquarters. Among them was & Spanish officer who was asked to join in & banquet prepared especially of emer- gency rations. One course was enough for the Spaniard and he politely declined any further numbers on the menus. He said: “Gentlemen, we have recent occasion to know of the eficacy of your American bullets, but I must decline to attempt to g0 any further against your emergency rations. To the Spanish mind they are as dangerous as your bullets." A. B. Hubermann, oldest and absolutely reliable jeweler in Omaha. Goods marked in plain Ogures and lowest prices guaran- teed. 8.

About all that was promised for Lew Dockstader's revival of minstrelsy was re- deemed at the Boyd yesterday. It is a riot of color and music, with enough of negro comedy interspersed between the spectacles and minstrel humbers to war- rant the appellation of “negro.”” Mr. Dock- stader has certainly provided an artistic setting for his several numbers, for no prettier picture was ever presented on the stage at the Boyd than the first part of his present entertainment. It is artistic In every detall and far surpasses any- thing of the kind in the history of that class of entertainment. And as the settings, 50 the rest of the entertalnment. Every feature has been lavishly provided for and the several divisions of the program are in_the care of the stars of the profession. Mf. Dockstader does no undertake to give the whole show to the first part and to the olio. In the latter he comes on first In an alrship and later in an automobile of his own device, which acts just as you think wouldn't. His monologue is like reading one of the last editions of the local papers; he gives the latest Omaha news right up to the hour of going to press. Carroll Johnson, graceful and well dressed, and Nell O'Brien, & prince among black-face comedians, furnish much fun, and Mr. Johnson dances alone and in com- pany with a troupe of youngsters, having revived a feature of the minstrel show of twenty-five years ago, “the essence of Old Virginia.” Manuel Romain sings a couple of ballads just as he has always sung in Omaha, In faultless style, and Harry Ellls, John W. Adams and James B. Bradley also contribute solos well worth listening to. Several new and really beautiful light- Ing effects are introduced, two very pretty living tableaux, closing the show, one “The Love Lorn Watermelon” and the other “The Birth of the Sun Flower.” Manuel Romain sings the songs, and In the finale of the sunflower scene has the assistance of the entire company. Another of the features 1s the ‘“Moonlight on the Mis- sissippl Scene.” Anyone who ever saw a Mississipp! steamboat landing will verify the accuracy of the presentation. The hoy hussar band is a splendid musical organ- izatlon and its part of the program was for from the least enjoyable. Two large audiences attended the per- formances given yesterday. The engage- ment closes with a performance this even- ing. Vaudeville at the Creighton-Orpheam, It i to laugh at the Crelghton-Orpheum this week. With two exceptions, the acts are all of the mirth-provoking order, and better than that, the laughter is engen- dered by legitimate means and not by any forcing. Probably the funniest pair that has been here this season is Hines and Remington—tha', is the Remington end is funny and Hiries does his best, which keeps the game going at top speed. Miss Reming- ton s another of the women who doesn't mind making up to look the guy, and her grotesque appearance on her first entrance is simply a signal for what is to follow, a lot of bright and witty talk with Hines as a “feeder.” Paulo and Dika know just enough English to make .their stunt in- telligible without destroying Its French plquancy. They, both sing well, and act with dash. Falkd and Semon have an instrumental musical act which aftords not only some good cause for laughter but some high grade music as well. The Pant- zer trio do some Bew feats of contortion, or rather boneless gymnastics, for thelr act is devold ok e really repulsive fea- tures that properly belong to contortion- ists the women being pretty and graceful, as well as marvellously lithe and agile. Alexius doesn't do many feats, but the little he does easily entitles him to his claim of premlership among trick bicycle riders. His feat of turning a summersault over a table without losing his mount and riding away at its concluston s unap- proached by any other gymnast, as is also his feat of jumping his wheel up a high flight of stairs, and then skipping the rope without getting off the wheel. Rosa Lee Tyler, the “Creole Nightingale,” contributes a solo, and Frances Redding and company present a comedietta of the slap-dash order called “The Cattle Queen.” Some new and Interesting pictures are shown in the kino- drome, “M’Liss” at the Krus. The good old play, based on the Brete Harte book of the same name, and made familiar to the patrons of the theaters of a generation ago by Annle Pixley, and al- ways assoclated in the minds of western people with “the days of old, the days of 8014, the days of '#9," was presented twice to the regular Sunday audlences at the Krug yesterday. Nelllsa McHenry, who still lays claim to the descriptive appella- tion of “Jolly," has the name part, and is assisted in the presentation of the plece by a company adequate to its demands. “M'Liss” will be the bill until after Wednesday night, DRIVEN MAD OVER ONE KISS Book Agent Takes to Drink When Another Man Embraces His Sweetheart. According to what the Sioux City papers have to offer on the subject James Groves, who travels for Colller's Weekly and makes his headquarters In Omaha, is languishing in, the ecounty jail in Sioux City as the result of a debauch, induced when he be- held the woman he loved kissed by another man. Groves' condition is said to be pitiable On being landed In jail he is sald to have wogrled through the first night alternat- Ing between fleeing from imaginary rats and pleading to be given more whisky or taken to Cherokee for treatment for dip- somania. It is sald that Groves was standing at the raflroad station in Sloux Falls when he saw the woman he loved embraced and kissed by another man. He first upbraided her for faithlessness and, pleading in vain, resorted to whisky. After he got to Sloux City the liquor is sald to have brought the results and Groves was taken, lmp and helpless, save for the abllity to scream at & tolerably high pitch, to a comfortable cell-in the county jull. Groves is sald to be one of the best book-sellers in the west. His income is sald to run up to $100 & week. He is about % years of age, handsome and pleasing in address and manners, Fire in Former Megeath Home.

(LD WAVE 1S PREDICTED Zero Weather Leaves Northwest Sunday for Omaha and Vicinity, CLIMAX EXPECTED HERE BY TONIGHT Forecaster Welsh Yesterday Morn Pro Fall of Twenty to Thirty Degrees in Looal et Temperature, Cold wave for Omaha and Nebraska—first of the season That was the dreary tidings Local weather Forecaster Welsh conveyetl yes- terday, when at 11 a. m. he had holsted his white flag with a black interior. Last night at 9:15 the local weather bureau im- parted later Information, which was a confirmation of that given out earlier in the day, so that If the people of this sec- tion are not already aware of it they may now understand that a cold wave is about to sweep over them. “The cold wave comes from the north- west, where some rigorous weather is now being felt,” sald Mr. Welsh, “and while we will have a much lower temperature here by morning, 1 do not look for the severe weather until night, by which time I think 1t will range about 12 or 15 above zero.” This is the first cold wave for this sec- tlon this season. It brings one comforting thought—that it will be of brief duration. It is to extend as far east as the Missis- sippl river by night. The local weather bureau gives out the information that the origin of the wave is in Montana, western Wyoming and northern Utah, where some light snows have fallen. Last night at Havre, Mont.,, the ther- mometer was down to 2 below zero, this being the minimum reported. Zero weather was general In Montana and along the line of the cold wave eastward there was a decided decline in the mercury. Omaha' thermometer varied but little yesterday, being at about 3 In the morning and prac- tically the same at night, but a sharp wind was prevailing last night, which foretold what was coming. Mr. Welsh predicted a fall of perhaps 2 or 30 degrees by to- night “I think we will escape severe weather today,” sald Mr. Welsh. #The indications are that the worst will not strike us until night. As to snow, I think we shall not need to expect much, scarcely any except flurries until tonight and then perhaps only a light one. Indications are not for a con- tinued siege of cold weather now." The street railway company began to heed the approach of winter yesterday by having their cars equipped with the regu- lar heaters. Of course it is not fair to put up the stove and bulld the fire the same day, so the house warmings may be expected today. FUNERAL OF R. N. WITHNELL Many Old Time Friends Attemd Ob- fes of the Late Piomeer of Omaha, Bervices over the remains of R. N. With- nell, who dled suddenly at his home, 336 North Fortfeth street, last Thursday morn- ing, were held at the home Sunday at 2 p. m.

Kuhns, gen- eral secretary of the Luther league and late pastor of Grace church, pronounced an eulogy over ‘the late plofieer, whose death, he said, Was sad, not aloné to his many ploneer friends, but to &ll who had come to know him and to appreclate his sturdy character and his love for his fellow man. An indomitable will had carried him successtully through the vicissitudes ot a long career and had inspired him to seek his fortune in the west and to help blaze the way for the present city of Omaha. Relatives of the deceased attending the obsequies were: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Withnell, Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Belows, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Morls, Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Moris, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Moris, Mr. and Mrs. R. L.

The remains of the late ploneer lay state In the parlor of the pretty home and the beautiful casket was hidden from view by numerous floral offerings of roses, car- nations, chrysanthemums and violets, in- terwoven with ferns, tributes from many triends. Those officiating as pallbearers were: W. 1. Kierstead, J. O. Corby, Daniel Shane, Milton Barlow, George B. Lake and Dantel Shull, At 3:30 the cortege formed at the resi- dence and, over half a' mile long, moved slowly out to Prospect Hill cemetery, where interment was made.
