MILITARY MEN FOR TEACHERS
Secretary of War Asks for List OF
Eligible Instructors for Col
IeRe Soldiers.

At the request Of the secretary Of war the
adjutant general OF the Department of the
Missouri has forwarded to Washington the
names OF all company officers in the depart
ment who, having served for ten years in
the regular establishment, are competent to
act as instructors Of military science at
schools and colleges In the country.
According to orders recently issued by the
department it is expected that $1,000 pupils
at colleges, schools and universities in the
states and territories shall be under mill
tary instruction. The order provides that
100 officers shall be detailed at such schools
or colleges, but that no college or school
shall be given a military instructor unless It
shall guarantee to have at least 100 pupils
under military instruction during the terms
Of school. These officers shall make reports
quarterly In writing to the sdiutant general
Of the army showing the progress made by
the pupils under their charge.
The instruction contemplated by the de-
partment is somewhat more extensive and
thorough than that which was given before
the Spanish war. The pupils are to be
formed into companies and battalions, are
to be provided with small arms similar to
those used by the cadets at West Point, and
the instruction is to cover not only the field
VI Nu0OEtLlCdi bCltuCtt Jul NhIEtL pIdClACb
upon the range and in galleries.
The schools are to be divided into two
classes: in the first schools and colleges;
In the second agricultural schools and mill
tary schools. The course OF study at the
schools Of the first class and at the agri-
cultural schools will be practically the same.
but at the military schools the course will
be higher. There is but one military school in
this department, that located at Fort Leav-
enworth. It will open in September with
ninety officers from the regular army as pu-
pills and a complete corps Of instructors and
assistants. This year there has been no
provision made for the instruction of civil
ians at the military school, but 1t is under
stood that as soon as graduates Of the
schools and colleges where regular army
officers are stationed become sufficiently ia
miliar with the branches they will be add
mitted to the higher school Of instruction.
In addition to the mall arms issued, pro-
vision is made for supplying in small num-
Der pieces OF field artillery-three-inch guns
CT the muzzle-loading type-so that batter
les may be organized at the schools.
A complete record Of all Of the pupils at
the schools will be kept and from the most
proficient will be taken officers Of volun-
teers when such officers are required. From
those colleges which make military science
an integral part Of their course Of study the
names of the three most proficient in the
science will be taken and inserted in the
army register.

mary matters as the report Of various off,
GERS and the appointment Of a committee
to determine the procedure Of the meet
ing.
This is the thirteenth annual convention
of the association, and Omaha was chosen
as the convention city because OF the local
plumbers being so splendidly organized
and the city so strong In union sentiment.
The delegates to this meeting come with
their minds particularly concerned with a
purpose to secure better and more strin-
gent plumbing regulations in all cities
where such regulations are lax. They ar
que that SUCH effort on their part is not
for their ben sht alone, but for the benefit
of the public, as Il will result in better
sanitary conditions. They point to the rel
alive death rates ia cities that are well
regulated as 10 plpmbing, and in those that
are not, and assert that invariably the
death rate will be found to be materially
less in the rjrintr. The desired end can
be accomplished, they say, only by organ

are they not here1 II is because Of the
great power Of temptation"
Rev. Conley preached from the text, Man
shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth from the mouth Of
Cod"
This life abounds in temptation TO
sin" he began. 1T is in his struggle with
evil that character is wrecked or made.
There are many possibilities before us in
this struggle with sin. By many there Is
no effort made to overcome evil. They be-
lieve that when through with this life they
will come out in a fullness OF life with God.
But they are deceived. II they make no
victories here they will make none in the
hereafter. Many there are who have sur
rendered early in the fight and have gone
over to the side Of sin. These are the most
pitiable persons that walk the earth. Some
have surrendered only a part; these. too,
are pitiable.
One of the greatest things in this life
is to be able to withstand temptation and
to overcome evil. and this should be the
supreme desire Of everyone. We get an
inspiration to Withstand temptation from
the life Of Christ, and we know that Il is
possible to overcome evil. Christ, we are
told, was tempted on all points. on all sides
Oh MS nature as we are, yet re escapeu
without sin. A study of, His temptations
will help us to understand the nature Of
sins fault and in some measure fortlfy
ourselves against attacks made upon US.
Man is a part Of two worlds continued
Rev. Conley, animal on one side and the
spiritual on the other. Between these two
there is a great struggle as to which shall
dominate. 1t should be our aim to live for
the better life. for the higher life. for to
be c~arnally minded To- death, but to be splr-
finally minded ia life And peace."

passing even the Fourth Of July by nearly

monies.
The jubilee mass was celebrated by Rev.
Father Mccarthy, assisted by Rev. Fathers
Moriarty, stinson and Smith. st. Philo-
mena's cathedral choir, under the leader
ship Of Miss Swift, rendered an excellent
musical program.
At the close of the mass, Father Nc
Carthy delivered a brief address. He
thanked the sisters and his friends for
their kindness and we'll wishes and ex-
pressed the hope that nothing would hap
pen in the years to com to diminish their
esteem.
twenty-five years in the sacred min
tstry," he said, represent uncommon
trials, hardships, temptations. No one
can appreciate It without the experience.
A priest obligates himself to follow the
example Of the Savior. He must strive to
lead a supernatural life, devoted wholly
20 the church and her children. He is
beset by the frailities Of his own nature
as well as by the sinfulness Of worldly
surroundings. The trials OF a priest, II
you will pardon the application, may be
iikened to that Of a man who walks on
q tightrope over the chasm of Niagara.
II he succeeds in reaching the opposite
shore he is regarded as a great man, he
u cheered by a multitude Of spectators
and he gets his name and his picture in
the newspapers. Now a priest is con-
stantly walking a spiritual tightrope. II
he wobbles a little, do not discourage him
with criticism and fault-hnding He
should be encouraged and cheered and
given a helping hand to safely reach the
other shore. l am still walking the spiri-
tual tightrope, my friends. and l appeal
to you on this jubilee day to pray that I
may rightly finish the task God has as
signed to me-"
Father Mccarthy was born in Newark,
N. j., February %, 1852. His theological
studies began in 1868 and closed August II,
1877, when he was ordained at the Semi
nary of st. Vincent, near Pittsburg, Pa.
The following September he arrived in
Omaha and entered st once upon hls dutiss
as mission priest. Since that time to the
present he has labored at various stations
in Nebraska, and was pastor of ST. Philo-
menA's cathedral for nine years, one of the
longest pastorates in the history Of that
parish. At present he is chaplain of the
Convent OF Mercy and assistant to Father
Smith, pastor of st. Patrick's church,
which adjoins the convent.

Rev. Trexs Considers Strenuous Life
Not solely Desirable.


At Kountse Memorial church Sunday
mOFninGR Rev. q. r. Trefz. the pastor. talked
OF 1.-THE Request of Peace He said, in
part;
eff we could transport ourselves to the
scene'o the parting between Jesus and His
disciples, on a little hill outside Of Jerusa-
lem. We would find Him comforting His dis
ciples who had followed Him to the last. He
was now to die and the blackness Of despair
was over them. They asked Him what they
were to do now that He was leaving. and He
told them that He left them His peace. 1t
did not seem much to them then, but In
later days we see John upon the isle of
Patmos. after a life filled with bitter strug-
gle and few pleasures, yet he did not de-
spair. We see Peter. standing in Rome be-
fore his assassins. saying: Cast all your
care upon Him. and we see Paul writing
from prison, I have fought a good fight.
And so one after another we see them APP
proaoh their end. a great calm possessing
them-lt Is the peace given by Christ.
1.-The world is always seeking for peace.
Mr.. Roosevelt smay say that the strenuous
life Is the only one for a man to live. but
he does not mean 1t. for deep Town in every
mans soul is a love Of peace. Men do not
strive for the love Of strife. No nation goes
to war for the love Of warfare, but that
peace may follow. Men have different ways
of seeking peace. One will try to acquire
riches, another knowledge and another will
attempt to secure It by development Of char
aoter along moral lines. but all nnd that
the peace they have sought canno be found
and they come to a realization of the fact
that IL is something beyond them which
they must acquire-it Is the peace Of Christ. -

CHANCELLOR GIVES GOOD COUNSEL
,COtnsr University's Head says to Do
Ones Best.

"There are two safeguards against be-
coming engulted In the perils OF the flu
ture.'' said Chancellor W. p. Aylsworth
OF Cotner university, speaking at the First
Christian church Sunday morning. These
are effective In all cases. both against the
dependency that may result from brood
ing on the future. and against the other
extreme OF becoming too hopeful. too full
OF expectations, too much wrapped up In
the speeulations OF tomorrow.
zone safeguard is action, duty. Enter
into this. Do all you can. II you cannot
accomplish what you wish, do the next
best thing to It. The other safeguard is
love. the strongest power Of all. The po-
teney OF this agent is beautifully put in
these words;
The night has a thousand eyes,
The day but one.
But the light OF a whole day dies
When the sun is gone.
!" T mind has a thousand eyes,
The heart but one,
But the light Of a whole life dies
When love is gone"
Chancellor Aylsworth preached from the
theme, "The New and the Old" His
thought was that the old should not be
lost nor forgotten. but held fast and adapt
ed to new conditions Of progress. We
are passing with marvellous rapidity in
the religious life into new surroundings
he said. and We can carry the old ideas
with US, newly clothed 70 suit the new de-
mAnds. new projects and new hopes.
