READY TO BUILD SEMINARY
Progress Of the Plans for New Presbyterian
School.
CONTRACT MAY Be LET THIS WEEK
Building TO BE Put Up This Spring
Will he one OF Permanent DOrmi-
tories After other Structures
Are Completed.

A contract for the construction Of the
Presbyterian seminary probably will be let
this week, and work will be started by
April L. The building to be constructed
this spring will be 50x150 feet in area, three
stories high. II is intended to be one of the
permanent dormitories, but until the other
buildings can be erected It will be used
for the seminary proper. The first floor
will for the present contain the class, study
and lecture rooms. The second and third
floors will be prepared for dormitories.
The ground secured by the seminary con-
tains about Eve acres bounded by Twenty
first, Twenty-second, Spencer and Emmet
streets. The building for which plans are
now prepared will face Emmett street. The
general plan Of the grounds contemplates
the erection of three other buildings of the
size Of the first one. The permanent public
building, containing the lecture rooms, class
rooms and study rooms will face Twenty
first street. Facing Spencer street will
be another dormitory, while a library build
ing will face Twenty-second street. Be-
tween the library building and the dormi-
tories will be six or eight cottages, the
dwelling Of the teachers at the seminary.
In the center Of the tract, surrounded by the
several buildings, will be q quadrangle or
court, containing an acre or more, which
will insure sufficient light and air for each
building.
The completion Of the plan OF the man
ayers Of the seminary depends upon the
receipts of the institution from ordinary
sources and the liberality Of its friends.
II is said that as soon as the institution
is in its new quarters there will be nearly
twice as many pupils in the classes as
there are now. The faculty hopes to be
able to open the fall term Of school in the
new building.

torical testimony. A man may believe that
God Is the creator, and yet not believe in
Him as q Savior. Belief does not call for
a personal God more than does the heather
worship. II makes It a matter OF intel
lectual acceptance and then finds fault
because we cannot all believe alike.
Faith Is a much simpler matter than
these" said the speaker. ut is an act Of
trust. Faith is personal and belongs to
the whole man and not a part. Faith takes
Gods interests and applies them to so
ciety as the full expression Of man. Faith
in God is love and faith will not stop until
this love and righteousness is a part Of the
character Of men. II is an organizing force
and impels to action urging until it at
tains."

Explains It's Application In the Para

At the First Presbyterian church Sun
day morning the pastor. Rev. Edwin Hart
jerks, preached from the theme, The Best
Robe" being a text from the fifteenth chap
ter Of the gospel according to st. Luke.
which tells the story OF the prodlgal sons
return.
Jesus cited this parable" said the pas
tor, ito appease some OF his apostles, who
had because he received sinners
and ate with them. The tendency is to
show how natural It is for a father to re-
jolce because OF the return OF a son sup
posed to be lost. Love endures forever
and follows It's object to the end of the
chapter. Hope may fail, faith may fail, but
love is everlasting. We cannot always tell
why we love another. There comes a swell
ing Of the heart, and one feels that all his
ideals and purposes Of life have been
changed-but he doesn't know why he
should be drawn so irresistibly toward that
one particular mortal out Of all the others
in the world. Bring forth the best robe
and put 1t ON him. What is the meaning
Of the robe? 1t means that he is a son
again; that he who was dead is alive"

AT the bOyu.
Not since the days Of the opera III. NJ. s.
Pinafore,' has there a company Of juvenile
theatrical performers been seen In Omaha
until Sunday afternoon, when Pollard's Au-
stralian Juvenile Opera company opened an
engagement at Boyd's theater, presenting
The Gaiety Girl" a two-act musical
comedy. The company numbers thirty-eight
children. Thirty-two Of whom are girls
and six boys. ranging in age ( rom Z to Is
years. Eight Of these are Mr.. Pollard's
own children, each of which appears in a
leading role. The children are all talented
and aside from the novelty of the attraction
It is really deserving Of praise for its merit
as a pleasing entertainment. Az would
naturally be expected Of actors and ac-
tresses OF such tender years, the young
sters are a trihe shy on histrionic ability,
although the comedy portion Of the play is
we'll sustained. The children are all Au-
~stralian born and speak with a broad Eng
lish accent, which at times is a trlfe hard
to understand, but not so much 30 as to be
annoying.
The ensemble work is quite remarkable
the choruses being praiseworthy for both
strength and harmony. Daphne Pollard, a
mite of 4, Is the distinctive hit Of the piece.
She enacts the comedy role of Corporal
Lance. and there Is not a minute while
she is on the state, that the audience Is
not kept in an uproar Of laughter. The
Interpolation Of a little French song by her
In the second art won a half dozen encores.
and she was forced to repeat a little dance,
which she did. n like number of times.
Willie Pollard a lad of IL, won considerable
applause for his clever comedy work In the
part of Chaplain Briefly. His make up and
facial expressions would do credit to many
comedians much his senior. The Major
Barclay OF Willie Thomas, a 10-year-old, was
both amusing and praiseworthy. Madge
woodson, a tiny tot, wore the clothes and
d~ignihed air of a granse dame In the part
Of Lady Virginia Forrest. Alice. Connie
and Ivy Pollard, all have good singing
voices and all were given an opportunity
to display their ability in solo numbers
Monday and Tuesday night THE Mascotte''
will be the offering. Monday afternoon
there will be a special matinee Of "The
Geisha" and the engagement will close
Wednesday night with the same piece.

SUPERSTITION, BELIEF OR FAITH.
Rev. MAnss OF LineOIn Tells what He
Believes Each IL.

Rev. w. H. Manss OF Lincoln preached
~ ST.. Mary's Avenue Congregational
church Sunday morning. the sermon being
the third Of a series. He took for his
theme. Superstition. Belief or Faith"
based on the text from the forty eighth
verse Of the fourth chapter OF John, And
Jesus answered and said unto them. unless
ye see signs and wonders ye will not be-
ueve."
The speaker defined superstition as an
ignorant fear OF what Is mysterious. founded
on irrational beliefs. Superstition held
such sway over the people Of ancient times.
he stated. that they believed that sickness
was sin or was a visitation OF Gods wrath
upon the wicked. At that time the science
Of medicine was not recognised. Sickness
was accepted as Elm and nc Investigations
were permitted. When a man was sick
the priest was called TO cleanse him OF the
Gin. II begot q religion that made men
arembls for the individual salvation. su-
oerstition takes away the will power. Il
destroys energy and makes som men
menials and others masters.

New Pennsylvania Depot.


In addition to being a novelty.
through it's possession Of underground
srackage, the projected union station
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad company
will be the first building of its kind in
or around New York to hold hotel
says the New York Herald.
1t will be on the west or Eighth ave-
nue. side of the big station. The great
structure will be five and one-half
stories above ground. There will be
two stories below ground, leading to
and providing for the tracks. A pas
senger entering the building on the east
side will walk down long incline TO
the first story, eighteen feet under
ground
Ticket offices and waiting rooms will
probably be placed on the ground floor.
but some of the ticket offices are ex-
pected to be on the underground floor.
On that floor will be a wide gallery
overlooking the tracks. From it pas
sengers will descend sixteen feet by
stafrways to the train platforms. Pro-
vision is to be made for carriage drives
down to the level of the long gallery
over the tracks.
The Long Island road will occupy the
north half of the station and the Penn
Sylvania the south section. A simple
switching arrangement provides for the
receipt Of trains on the outside
tunnels and their dispatch by the
Tnirty-second street lines. The Thir-
ty-second and Thirty-first street tubes
can be used for direce traffic, such as
through trains to Long Island points
from Philadelphia or places farther
west and for through trains from cities
south Of New York for New England
points.

and the Colonial-which run from Bos-

to live at 202 Wright street, Mil

er-in-law, William Downey, living
near Second and Sycamore
streets in that city, is a raving
maniac at the county Jail. He
sought lodgings at the tramp
house last evening and shortly
after 10 o'clock became violently
insane. He picked up a piece Of
wood and attacked several of the
men in the room. and it was with
difficulty that he was subdued
and taken to the jail. This morn
ing he appeared to be rational
and said that his name was either
Reynold or Coughlin, he wasn t
quite sure which. A few mo-
ments later he became violent
again and pulled down eight feet
of water pipe, flooding the jail.
Two deputies and the turnkey
tried to restrain him, but he
fought them and they retreated,
leaving him in possession of the
lookup. 1t was necessary to
turn the water off in the base
ment. The man appears to be
30 years old, and from what he
says family troubles are sup
posed to be the cause of his in
sanity.
