1t Is to Culminate in Theological School
in Chicago.
There will soon be opened in Chicago
theological school that will be unique
among contemporary institutions for
religious training 1t is to be called
the Bible Institute and is intended for
the education and practical training of
evangelists. While in some outward
features it will resemble the theologic!
al seminary of the regulation type, as
conducted by all the Protestant denom-
nations of the present day, in other
more essential points it will be anal
ogous to the schools of the prophets as
they are believed to have existed in
Old Testament time. 1t will be con-
Quoted under the auspices of the Chi
cago Evangelization Society. d. l..
Moody, the originator and propagator
of the innovation, is also to be it's Presi-
dent. Over $250,000 has been con-
tributed by wealthy friends of Mr..
Moody living in Chicago to build and
endow the Bible Institute.
The inception of the project is not
new. For at least fifteen years Mr..
Moody has had the desire to establish
such school. "Do the work of an
evangelist" has been the working motto
of his life. In his view the evangelist's
work was not less essential or import
ant than that of the settled pastor and
preacher But there were fewer to
understand it and fewer to make it q
success Nor was there any school for
educating evangelistic workers, al
though there were many seminaries for
the fitting of young men for the regu-
lar ministry. This dam in the Chris
tian lines it became Mr.. Moody's am
bition to fill, but not until recently was
he able to interest the people and open
their purses to toward this scheme
The important distinction between
this Bible institute and the ordinary
theological seminary is in the course Of
study. Instead of taking a Greek OF
Hebrew testament for the textbook,
Mr.. Moody will take the English
Bible. Polemic theology, except so
much as may be considered essential
in combating assaults of idfidels, will
be as far as possible relegated to the
background The outline of study is
as follows:
"The doctrinal and practical teach
ings of the Bible will be the main sub
iects of study, together with its au-
thenticity and history. Christian
doctrine, sin, redemption, the person
and offices of the Redeemer, justifca
ton, faith, etc. English exegesis,
typology, elementary church history,
Christian evidences, and the study OF
separate books of the Bible will form

She Obeyed Orders.

Harriet Beecher Stoves son, Rev.
Charles +. Stowe, of Hartford, Conn.
met with an experience the other even
ing which completely nonplused him.
One evening quite recently he dined
with Mrs. j. w. Boardman, proprie-
tress of the Hotel Woodruff. Visiting
Mrs. Boardman is a cute little niece
about five years of age. She is reg
ular ohatterbox and makes many bright
remarks during a day. Fearing lest
the child would astonish the preacher
by some outlandish saying her aunt
warned her to keep mum during the
dinner.
The admonition was listened to with
awe, and at the table the little one
scarcely dared look at Mr.. Stowe, not
wishing to commit supposed sin.
While the servant was absent from the
room the little girl noticed there was
no butter on her small pink dish.
She didn't mind holding her tongue,
but to eat bread without butter-that
would never do. She took u survey of
the table, and 10 and behold the but
ter dish was right in front of the
preacher. Wistfully she gazed at both
for few seconds Never in her brief
existence did she appear so pensive.
Then gathering all her courage and
clearing her throat, she said "Dear
pastor, won't you please, for Christ's
sake, pass the butter?"
Rev. Mr.. Stowe never received such
q shock, He leaned over in his chair
to pick up napkin, which of course
had not fallen. Mrs. Boardman must
at that moment arrange o window cur
tain, and the other guests were sud
denly troubled with friendly cough.
Little Mabel, self-satisfed that She
had done the proper caper, was the
only one at the table who could posi-
lively prove that she was alive.-Chi-

THE CAR PORTER

II YOU travel as you d oughter
You will meet the colored porter,
Who with smile upon his lip
Will expect from you tip.
He is found on every sleeper,
Full of learning, and it's cheaper,
II you d like to learn it all,
Just to tip silver ball.
If you try to shake this porter,
And refuse paltry quarter,
When you need him you may call,
But you'd better wait till fall.
II you tip him, he's dandy,
With pillow that is handy,
And bottle, cool as ice,
Holding something awful nice.
You will find he is u rusher,

And before you leave the car,

In exchange for this privilege the

Senator Vance, Having but One Eye, VIII Fave
Have One.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Republican
Senators held well-attended caucus to
day. prior to the meeting of the Senate
The subject under discussion was with ref
erence to putting all clerks on the annual
lists, payIl ent to be made out Of contingent
fund.
There is a general sentiment in favor Of
8i0ing this. but the question Of legality be
ing raised. no conclusion was reached. 1t
is inferred from what was said that the
legal doubt will be sufficient to defeat the
scheme. although that is not absolutely GER
tain.
The other subject was: 'Shall Senator
Coke's speech on southern election out
RACES be answered. The conclusion,
while not formally expressed, was that
there should be no further discussion of
that subject at this session.
After the adjournment, the Senate
caucus resumed their sitting and decided
that the employment of clerks which would
result in an Over-draft upon the contingent
fund was Illegal. and therefore the scheme
tomake all committee clerks annual clerks
will fail.
A resolution was adopted, however, to
give Senator ance, OF NOfJh CdEOllhd' Il
personal clerk He has lost one eye and
the sight of the other is failing and his
Republican colleagues deemed it only just
that he should be spared the necessity Of
using his remaining eye to conduct his
official correspondence.
1t was also finally decided not to continue
the debate on election outrages.
The general opinion, so far as expressed,
was that the Senate might reasonably eX-
pect to be able to adjourn Wednesday or
ThnrsdaY OF next week.

AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A Former Resident of this City in Serious
Trouble in Denver.

| Dr. Franz Opper, at one time resident
of this city, and will be well remembered
by certain people, recently attempted
suicide in Denver.
Dr. Opper went to Denver from Wiscon-
sin some three months ago. He has been
travelling around a good deal Of late years,
his Incorporate habits having stood much
in the way Of his success as physician.
He opeued an office in the Ninot block, on
the corner of south Tenth and Fourteenth
avenue.
Despite the fact that the doctor made
many warm friends and had influential
backing, alcoho, hal fastened its fangs
upon him, and frequent prolonged sprees
made his career as a physician very I'M
satisfactory one to his friends. Ten days
ago he started off on enc of tt e hardest and
longest runs at the cup with which he has
ever INDUCED himself. In order to secure
more privacy he removed to the Raymond
house, and was from that time until yeSter-
day in permanent state of intOXicatiOn.
When one of the inmates of the house
was in his room at 10 o'clock. the doctor
seemed to be in his usual spirits in both
senses. Returning about 10 o'clock he no
ticed something strange about the doctors
actions. His eyes were glazed, and he
seemed to be falling into StupOr DR..
Robertson was Immediately summoned
the patient had taken an overdose of NOR
phine. De- KallivOoder and DR.. Robertson
worked over the man for long time. He
was pretty far gone. Electricity and other
powerful remedies were used. Under the
application OF these the patient grew better,
and talked quite nationally to the reporter
late in the afternoon. His brother was tele-
graphed to at late hour last night, and the
room was filled during the evening with
the friends of the very sick man.
1t is impossible to tell from the state
ments made by the sick man whether he
ok an overdose of the drug by mistake, or
neither it was taken in a fit Of alcoholic
Insanity. The doctor has been suffering for
a long time from insomnia, and has been
accustomed to the frequent use of morphine
for relief.
Dr. Opper is man about fifty years of
age, with features of the most pronounced
German type. He is a tall man with broad
shoulders and of powerful build.

Last July, the work of making a new set

gun in dead earnest, Mr.. w. J. Harvey
being in charge. In September he was
Joined by Mr. w. j. Neff, and both have con-
tinued with the work until it has reached its
present advanced stage. From July last
until the first of the year they employed
some eighteen persons in makinga complete
set of abstracts of the county, and it is
conceded that the work has been done to
perfection. They have secured a large and
commodious Office at 275 south, Main street,
and are now ready to do business. A
couple of large vaults have been built, into
which books and other documents are
placed for safe keeping. On either side of
the entrance are two offices, one for MIR
Harvey and one for Mr.. Neff, and they are
fitted up in the best of style. In the rear of
these offices is the general Office of the
dbstrdctOr, Mr.. E. w. Center, who is said to
be without rival in his business. Back of
tlis office and the vault is the general work
room, which is admirably lighted, roomy and
airy, and arranged for the expeditions salts

that the work is unsurpassed.
OIt is the purpose OF harvey, Neff & Co. to
incorporate their business under the name
of the Investment, Trust, Title and
Guarantee Company with a capital of from
$50, 1000 to $780, 600, which amount will be
held in reserve and with which they pro
pose to guarantee titles This reserve will
be invested in realty mortgages in the city.
1t is also the design to use one of their
vaults for safety deposits in which there
will be $50 boxes; but this work is yet to be
done.
The company has good backing, is com
posed of active, and courteous and capable
business men and will do well.
