IMPOSSIBLE TO GET RAILS
Reason for Delay in Street Railway
Extension to Prospect Hill.
MANAGER SMITH MAKES A STATEMENT
IL Unable TO Get Any Positive Prom
Use from Rolling MIL and Can't
Say when Line VIII

Residents Of the city along the proposed
route Of the extension OF the Harvey street
car line to Prospect Hill may expect TO see
that line IN operation som time this sum-
mer or TALL, but so far as getting a definite
time liked by the officials OF the Omaha
street Railway company they are as much
In the dark as ever, for the company has
received no rails for that extension. and
what Is more. IL has received no positive
assurance that It ever will receive them.
Last winter when we made the contract
for the rails we looked up every mill in
the country said Manager Smith. The
best we could do was to find one which
would promise to make delivery In March
or April. or possibly sooner. We placed
the order with this company and from
time to time have received assurance that
the rails would be delivered. The last
letter we received was to the effect that
they would be delivered some time in June
and with that promise we have to be salts
fed, for all OF the companies are independ-
ent, having orders on hand sufficient to
keep their mills busy for twelve months.
Cannot Fix n Date.
when we placed the order we expected
TO have cars running in May, but now we
cannot tell when they win be running The
special work for the line. Is already here
and We could place II In, but what Is the
use? We can keep our force at work plac-
ing special work on lines now in operation
and then lave that work in place on the
Prospect Hill extension by the time It is
needed s.-ayt 's
In the meantime the residents along the
route are becoming anxious and a dele
cation recently appeared before the city
council asking that body to use Its influence
with the company to have the line COM
pleted before cold weather. The answer
Of the company was In line with the state
ment Of Mr.. Smith given above, and here
the matter must rest until a rolling mill

DAY AT CHURCH
Little Christian Workers Demonstrate Their
OGpability to Elders.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS BY SUNDAY SCHOOL;
Purpose of the Day to Raise Educa-
tional Fund, Foster Interest in
Schools and Show Prog
ress of Children.

In many Omaha churches Sunday the
pulpit orators were the children. It was
their wi day, Children's day, with its
three-fold purpose Of raising funds for ed
ucational work, fostering their own IN
terest and their schools and demonstrat-
ing to the adult public the things of which
they are capable.
The exercises In the different churches
were not wholly identical, but in general
the plan was the same. There was the
Coronation hymn, or some other equally
familiar; there was prayer, scripture read
ing, remarks by the superintendent or dig
nitary Of the church and baptism Of chill
dren. But more especially there were
many songs, recitations or class exercises
by the children alone. At one church
thirty-two girls. ranging In age from 8 to
IL years. gave their professional, which
proved an unusually pleasing feature. At
the Knox Presbyterian the pastor spoke
expressly to and for the children in the
morning and they gave their ~exerices In
the evening.
Among those which decided on the morn
ing hours as the time OF the exercises were
the Cherry Hill Congregational, the Bed
ford Place Presbyterian. the First Chris
tian, the Calvary Baptist. the Walnut Hill
Methodist Episcopal. the Westminster
presbyterian the united evangelical, the
Pilgrim Congregational, the Hsnscom Park
Methodist, the Seward Street Methodist,
the First Baptist and the First Congrega-
tional. Those who decided to vary the rule
and have the exercises in the evening were
the Knox Presbyterian, the Peoples and
the Southwest Presbyterian. The First
Presbyterian postponed the exercises until
next Sunday.
Although this list indicates that the OBJ
servance Of the day is general. the Metho-
dists lay claim to the honor OF having in
troduced the custom back in the '7Os. An
Omaha pastor said yesterday that educa-
tional work In the Sunday school was sys-
timatized practically In 1873, and that
Children's day. or Educational day, came
to be known soon after that, its purpose
being not only the promotion Of interest
In the general work, but the taking OF q
special offering to aid poor students to the
education that they had not means to buy.
The money collected In Omaha yesterday
at the ChildI ems day exercises in the
Methodist churches, he said, goes to the
church board of education In New York
City and is by it distributed wherever there
seems a proper place. The board now has
an income of 500 per day from former
borrowers who are repaying. other
churches take the offering and devote it to
much the same purpose.

I Man boasts often; feels strong. Look
at st. Pierre and be humble. Martinique
Is an object lesson. Our theme finds numer-
GUS illustrations. Man has harnessed the
lightning and Niagara, has exhumed the
'villainous saltpeter,' combined It into des-
perate explosives and says behold my
power. What a glorihcation there was in
New York in 1876, when He'll Gate was
blasted. 1t was the ~perilous ridge Of sharp
rocks In the East river, between Manhattan
and Long island. Several years were re-
quired TO prepare the mines. 1t cost an
enormous sun. The place was tunneled
and $500 holes, each nine feet deep and
three and a half inches in diameter, were
drilled in the roof, bottom and sides of the
tunnel. To load them all required twenty
six tons Of dynamite. All were connected
with a battery, The tunnel was filled with
water. All was touched of. It was a great
success. Sheets OF water and rock few
nightly. Several hundred feet Of rock was
cleared away. Ships have passed there ever
since In perfect safety. Houses q block
away were hardly shaker. Compare this
marvel OF power and boast OF man to Pelee
last month. or Lisbon In 1855, and It Is only
o toy play by children. Mt. Pelee had omin-
Gus rumblings. Ex-Mayor Clerc, the mil
~lionaire, warned his friends, hastened away
with his family, An hour later the erup-
ton. In three minutes the stream had
rushed from the crater to the sea, i've miles,
and 10000 people were dead. The shock at
Lisbon in 1855 was felt IN Canada and Fin
land, thousands Of miles apart. 1t killed
10000 people. Such are the powers in the
earth. Our earth Is but very small In the
solar system. The sun is 1900, 900 times
larger. There are two smaller, Ave much
larger planets and 200 plAnetoids In our
system. All these are but a very small part
Of the universe. God guides and moves all
with perfect precision. None ever varies q
minute. The whole is bewildering to the
Imagination.
This Almighty God is ours. Well may
we say: What Is man. that thou art mind
full OF himH Who Is so great as our Cod
st. Pierre and Lisbon are but q little out
