DISCUSSED BY THE MINISTER'S
At Their Monthly Meeting the Local
Clergymen Take Up the Subject
Of Ethical Revival"

At the regular monthly meeting Of the
Omaha Ministerial union, held In the base
mept Of the Kountze Memorial church, the
chief interest centered in the paper by Rev.
]. D.. Herring on THE Ethical Revival"
The subject was very ably handled and
called for a great deal Of discussion. A ref
erence to Luther's criticism Of the epistle
Of St. James brought out several Of the
reverend gentlemen to Luther's defense and
the statement that in his latter works, the
great reformer revised his opinion. The
thanks OF the union, were voted to DR.. Her.
ring for his paper.
The subject Of religious census which was
left over from the last meeting was taken
zip by Rev. Wilson, who has prepared blank
forms for that purpose. To make the CEN
sus a success it will be necessary to secure
the cooperation Of all the pastors Of the
city and to this end the president appointed
Revs. Gilchrist. Wilson and Herring a COM
mittee to take the work In hand. This COM
mittee endeavored to get the names Of all
church. going families in the city and turn
them over to a central committee, which
will see to 1t that they are properly CLASH
fed and given out to the different pastors.
Rev. Wilson stated that during the last
| month he has made a canvass Of one of the
! blocks in his neighborhood and has been sur
| prlsed at the amount OF information he has
obtained which is OF use to him In render
| ing his church work more efficient.

Educational Notes.

Mrs. Coils p. Huntington Of New York has
given $4,000 to build a dormitory for girls
at Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee college
for Colored Youth. In the last ten years her
husband, Mr.. Huntington, has given In all
5000, 900.
The governor OF Connecticut told the legis-
lature that 1t costs IS per cent more to
educate the children OF that state than 1t
did fifteen years ago and he expressed doubts
IL the quality Of the education has improved
In the same proportion.
1t was the late Senator Morrill, who drew
I'D the ,iucational land grant bill passed
in 1862 and signed by President Lincoln.
The total grant to all the states was 9,b91,-
$40 acres. New York's share was 9ss, 800
acres. and 1t brought 1861, 473. Cornell uni
versity is one Of the numerous monuments OF
the law.
A significant indication of the value OF
educational work being done by philan-
thropists in Fast London Is shown by the
fact that Of seven scholarships IN natural
science given at Oxford In the last SIX
months three have been awarded to boys
educated at the London Peoples Palace
Technical college.
The catalogue Of Yale university for the
year 1s98-99, Just issued, gives the total
number Of students registered as 2,511, an
increase of eleven over last year. These are
distributed as follows: Graduate school, 1888;
academic department yale college), 1.224;
Shefield Scientific school, 567; art school,
ga; department OF music. 76; law school, 1874;
medical school, 10; divinity school, 90. The
latter institution Is the only department OF
Yale that shows a decrease.

A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people r aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is tho ~forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment Of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling Of personal deflement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
The importance of the proper
treatment San therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will.

THEY ARE IMMUNES NOW
Doctor Does a Wholesale job of Vac
%cinatinE Down mt Hall
Scenes Enacted.

There was a sound, not Of ~revelry. but Of
weeping. and gathered together there at
Brownell hall Sunday were 100 pretty
girls. The cause OF the aforesaid weeping
was the arrival Of DR.. Hanchett. who had
been summoned by the management OF the
school to vaccinate the young women. Their
ideas OF the exact process of vaccination and
Its possible results were somewhat misty.
Some looked upon it as only a little less
terrible than the smallpox itself, while
visions filled the minds Of all OF scariaed
arms.
However, smallpox was abroad, and the
necessity for making 'immunes" Of the girls
brooked no delay. DR.. Hanchett got down
to business and SO did the girls. The first
scratch Of the vaccinating machine brought
a how from the sufferer and likewise from
the ninety-nin sympathetic victims to be.
AS the work progressed the fun grew fast
and furious. Some tainted, some swooned,
and all gave unmistakable expression to
their terrors and sympathy in a manner per-
fectly comprehensive for some blocks away.
However, the work was completed eventually
and the doctor left the fearful maidens as
thoroughly immune to the dread disease as
though they had been reared in Havana.

SITE FOR THE AUDITORIUM
Only Two Locations Reported to
Omaha Real Estate
Exchange.

At its weekly meeting at the Commercial
club rooms the Omaha Real Estate ex-
change discussed the auditorium project. II.
II. Harder, chairman OF the site committee,
told the exchange that 1t had been decided
to keep the propositions for sites for the
auditorium between certain boundaries. 1t
is feared, however, that nothing will be left
to do but extend these limits, as there APP
pears to be no site within those fixed by the
committee that could be accepted. AS yet
the only sites mentioned have been the
Murray lots on Harvey street and the
ground where the old Grand Opera house
stood on Capitol avenue. One objection to
the Capitol avenue site Is that it is only
100 feet deep. while the plans contemplate
a building 1872 feet deep. This might be
remedied. however, by altering the plans.
Mr.. Harder invited the members Of the ex-
change to look up sites and make PROPOSE
tions to the committee.
The committee appointed some time since
to look into the matter of having the legis-
it would he rather a dificult undertaking.
Such a measure would not be a popular one
and some difficulty might be experienced in
securing its introduction and passage. Some
money would be required to have the law
passed. 1t would take a great deal of time
and 5000 or 5000 for legitimate expenses.
No further action was taken on the COM
mittee report.
The committee appointed to see as to the
advisability of asking the legislature to
amend existing law Of landlords and tenants
reported in favor of the lay now in use in
Iowa. The chief feature Of the owe law Is
that it gives landlords a lien upon all the
property of the tenant, except that exempt
by statute. After considerable discussion /,
was decided to call a meeting OF those in.
terested in the passage Of such a law for
next Monday noon.

SMALLPOX Is UNDER CONTROL
Patients Doing Well and No New
Cases Observation-Disclosures In-
dignant Over Pest HOuses

There are no new developments In the
smallpox situation. The victims Of the dis
ease are progressing satisfactorily toward
recovery and no new cases have been re-
ported. Physicians are vaccinating the chill
dren In the Comenius, Druid Hill and
Davenport public schools and in the st.
Wenceslaus school. the latter a Bohemian
parochial school. When the vaccination Is
completed in these school, all school hill
dren in the school districts in which the
disease exists. except attendants OF the
High school, will have been innoculated.
The physicians will then commence vista
ton at the rest Of the city schools.
Residents in the far northern part Of the
city are considerably wrought up over the
establishment Of the pest house near Fort

OVER A PIECE OF PIE
Two Paxton Hotel Employees Engage
in n Fight, One Of Them Sus-
tanning Serious Injuries.

D. E. Henderson, a waiter at the Paxton
hotel, struck the ticket taker, George
Sawyer, over the head with a water pitcher
yesterday, inficting wounds which may
result fatally. Henderson was arrested and
charged with assault with intent to commit
great bodily harm and later with assault
with intent to kill. Sawyer was taken to
st. Joseph's hospital where his injuries were
dressed.
The trouble occurred in the hall where
the walters are in the habit of eating their
meals. A piece OF pie is said to have been
the cause. A quarrel ensued and Henderson
struck Sawyer over the head with a water
pitcher.

sites would be forced to provide for sthe
support Of their families and thus all
classes OF society would be benefited"
President Graham II. Harris OF the school
board Is q strong champion OF the Sher-
wood resolution. In an interview he said:
II don't believe we ought to encourage
male parasites. There are lots OF them
In town living of of women teachers and I
don't see why we should add to the num-
Der. II we pass this rule then the men
who are looking around for a woman to
support them will pick out some one besides
a teacher. Then the teachers will be care
full not to marry men who haven't the abil-
tty TO support them.
There are many principals who have
their wives teaching under them. while
some OF the older men have their sons and
daughters or other relatives or the staff.
I mean. to frame a rule which will stop
that, too. 1t is impossible for members OF
the same family to be impartial toward
each other. Either there is too much
kindness or too much severity. Then I
consider 1t is rather contrary to the spirit
Of American institutions for the public
to have to pay two or more salaries to the
same family. It's not giving everyone a
fair chance.
Then the hygienlc reasons against the
employment OF married women as teachers
are the most important Of all. While teach
ing Is the noblest profession a woman should
follow. so noble mat 1t should have her
undivided allegiance, yet motherhood is
something far higher. The one interferes
| with or destroys the other. AS school
trustees It Is absolutely wrong to be par
ties to that.
1.-THE chief reason urged for the married
| teachers is that those who have had children
understand better how to deal with the
little ones in the lower grades. This OBJ
lection could be obviated in part by the
employment OF widows. But after carefully
Weighing all the arguments on both sides
I think the majority Of the trustees, In
Guiding the women members OF the board,
are In favor Of the rule"
Superintendent Andrews declared that ID
its amended form he Endorsed the resolu-
ton. Instead Of simply married women
1t now reads women living with theii
husbands" which is explicit enough to
cover widowhood or separation. 1.-THE
strongest objections to the employment OF
married women as teachers cannot be pub
licly discussed" said DR.. Andrews. How
ever, / want to TAX occasion to say thai
some OF the finest teachers and principals In
the whole school system are married
women"
