MISS BLODGETT YESTERDAY.
Splendid Lecture on Noah and His Time,
Character, Mission and Deliverance

Miss Blodgett's subject yesterday af-
ternCon was Noah, His Time, Character,
Mission and Deliverance."
In the three lessons given, Miss Blod-
gctt has proved herself a deep student
of Gods Word, not only historically, but
in a profoundly spiritual sene. The hard
and clear Interpretation she has given of
her subjects opens up at every turn new
thoughts and deeper meanings to her
hearers.
II speaking Of Noahs time, she said
that it was called the free era" by many
because two laws only had been 5iVen to
men, the law of marriage and of the Sab
bath Men were at liberty to develop
thems elves a thing much demanded in
I the present time. Yet, what did the PEG
pic OF that day develop? Such sin that
God said all men were utterly corrupt.
They gave themselves up to social en-
jOymcnt, marrying AMI giving in lar-
riage They had deyelo.'cd the sciences
and fine arts as we learn from the 4th
chapter Of Genesis. and We're we'll con
tent with themselves. Not so did the
time appear to God. He saw that man
thought OF himself and not OF his Maker
Man loolIeth on the outward appearance,
but God looketh on the heart. Does not
the modern literature contain this same
fault in always eXalting man, and what
he has done? Would il not be better TO
see man as God sees him?
Noah was not a perfect man. He .Tas
only man who was willing to let God
be kind to him and thus found grace in
His holy sight. Noah was righteous, and
though not faultless, blameless in his
life. and q man who asked the infinite
God to walk as he a sinful man chose.
The mission of Noah was to carry to
those who were ignoring God the mes
sage of His displeasure and to warn them
turned not from their sins. The people
Of that age found Noah foolish, harsh in
his preaching and absurd in his warning
of danger But he living God saw in
Noah a faithful and believing servant as
be toiled on in the rnidst Of ridicule.
Delivcrance came 10 Noah in the ark
that he had faithfully followed God in
having constructed. He accepted the in
vitatiOn "Come into the Ark" and then
the tender Father Himself shut him in.
So for US, Christ is our only safety. He
gracefully says ''Come Unto Me-" Have
we come and accepted Him as our refuge
from the evil that must be punished?
The lesson for this afternoon will be a
beginning in the life of Abraham, taken
from Genesis, 18th Chapter 1874; Acts
7, and Hebrews II.

OPENS THIRTY-FlFTH STREET
Council Committee Decides on Thor
OuRhfare from FRrnRm to
Harvey.

In general committee yesterday the city
council took favorable action upon the or
dinance to open Thirty-ffth street from
Farnam street to Harvey, Councilman
Burnley being the only member absent
from the meeting and the others all voting
in the Affirmative. The plan originally
proposed was to open a twenty-foot alley
at this point, but on petition OF some Of
the interested property owners this ordi-
nance. contemplating a ifty-toot street in
stead, was prepared. Objection on the part
Of other property owners led to delay and
investigation by a committee with the re-
suit above stated. '' \
On motion OF Councilman Hascall. the
committee in charge OF the reviewing stand
in front OF the. city hall was given full
power to act in all matters pertaining to
the stand.
Alfred Bugh, superintendent of the city
hall, was instructed to proceed with the
proper decoration of the interior of the
city hall for the festival Of Ak-Sar-Ben
and the visit OF President Roosevelt.
W.. F.. Johnson and Mr.. Levy OF the
Board Of Education were present as a COM
mittee from that body to urge the council
to divide the paving district in which is
included the streets surrounding the high
school, the object OF the request being
that the paving Of those streets might pro-
coed without the delay which might be en-
tailed by objection ON the part OF the
owners Of property in other parts of the
present paving district. By reason Of the
question which has been raised regarding
the law as 1t now reads in respect to the
paving Of streets, it was decided to defer
action.
The city council met in special session
Yesterday afternoon, with all OF the mem
bers present but Councilman Burnley, who
was out Of the city, and Councilman
Whitehorn, who had been excused. The
ordinance providing for the paving of Sew
enteenth street with vitrihed brick blocks
from Harvey to jackson street was given
its first and second reading.

POULTRY PRICES GOING UP
New Demand from Foreign Countries
Makes the Seasons Sup
ply Inadequate.

Local dealers in poultry look upon the
present condition of the market with any
thing but Satisfaction. There. lara scarcity
Of stock in the country which promises
to drive the price Of chickens SO high as
to materially affect the consumption. The
condition is attributed in a great measure
to the movement of the egg market last
spring. When poultry ~raisers would ordi-
narily have been setting their eggs, they
were selling them to owners Of cold
storage plants, who last spring apparently
endeavored to capture all Of the eggs pro-
duced in the country. The price for eggs
in April and May was higher than II had
ever been before and producers sold re-
g%ardless OF the effect upon the poultry
market later. .,. ''.
Another cause for the high prices Is the
greatly increased demand, for American
poultry. Independent dealers say that the
attempt of the packing houses to control
the market OF poultry last summer was
not an unmixed evil. These packers, after
securing a large stock of chickens which
were placed in cold storage, began to look
for a market for their stock. Their selling
agents in Europe and other countries were
instructed to sell chickens as well as other
meat and the result was that a demand
was created for American poultry which
had never before existed. The packers
were unable to supply this demand and
the foreigners then bought from indie
pendent houses. To-day Nebraska poultry
and eggs find markets from London to the
Philippine islands, from Dawson City to
South America, and the country cannot
supply the export demand and the domes-
tic demand with the present production.

Amid thunderous cheers the president

corted Miss Barton to a chair at his left.
Adjutant General Dyer Of Washington, D.
c., responded to Mayor Maybury's address
Of welcome on behalf of the veterans. This
was to haye ended the first session of the
convention, but Governor Bliss asked a
few moment indulgence. Explaining that
he was to present service medals to Michi-
gan veterans of the Spanish war when the
convention adjourned, Governor Bliss said
he wished first to present Comrade Teddy
Roosevelt with one. He accordingly re-
quested Mrs. Lewis Of the ladies' auxiliary
to present the medal to the president.
The presentation was made amidst the
greatest enthusiasm.
The convention then adjourned and the
president and party left the armory. They
drove Immediately to the steamer Tashmo,
which was boarded for a ride on the river.
In addition to the presidential party there
were several hundred delegates to the re-
union aboard the steamer. Tashmo re-
turned with the party at 2 o'clock, just
in time for the president to review the big
parade of veterans and local military.
