First Confirmation Service.

The first confirmation celebrated in Trim
fly parish is described as follows by
James Van Nostrand: Early on a lovely
Sunday morning in August of 1857 you
might have seen Mr.. c.. w. Hamilton,
Major w. T. Clark and myself hurrying
TO the upper room in che Pioneer block,
there to put on the last finishing touches
in its arrangement, then making the usual
attack upon the two-inch planks from
Hon w. A. Gwyer's lumber yard for
seats, an extra number being procured
for on this day Right Rev. II. W. Lee,
bishop OF Iowa, and exercising the juris-
diction I'm Nebraska, was to make Omaha
a visitation, and a live bishop was a
new sight to many Of our citizens. The
ladies on Saturday afternoon had given
the rooms a good cleaning. A dry goods
box, covered with a fair linen cloth, was
an improvised altar; a bench, covered with
a blanket, was to do duty as an altar rail-;
a silver cup to be used in place OF a
hagon; and the lower part of a silver
butter dish answered in place Of the pat
ten. This same butter dish was used for
baptismal purposes until we occupied, the
little church on lower Farnam street.
The bishop was a very fieshy man. and
we were for time at loss for a suitable
chair, but Colonel ]. A. Parker jr., came
TO our aid and supplied the want. A melo-
deon was borrowed; our volunteer choir
was in its place and soon the room was
crowded. The church service proceeded,
conducted by the bishop and our priest,
and at the proper time Miss Mary Sails
bury renewed her baptismal vows in the
sacrament OF confirmation"

Beginning of the End.

Beginning of the End.
When $1,000 was raised. a site was
bought in 100 for that amount at Thirty
sixth and Cunning streets. To show how
small the subscriptions were in those
dayG, 1t is said that the $4,000 was con-
tributed by 1900 persons. About fve years
ago 1t was decided to put up a larger
building that had at nrst been con-
templated, and TO make IL nTeproof. The
hospital as it will be when present con-
tracts are fulfilled, will cost Sl6.,VOO, in
GLIDING the site.
In the winter Of 1903-1904 the laundry
and boiler house and the operating pa
Vtlion were built, the former 33x2O feet
and two stories in height, and the latter
66x47 feet and two stories in height. The
building, 3SxS52 feet, and the hexagonal
addition to the right of the main building.
50x50 feet at the widest points. Both of
these structures will be four stories IN
height. This work called for an outlay
which exhausted the funds of the associa-
ton.
Last spring a campaign was started for
$4,000, the sum OF $4,000 having al
ready been used or collected for use. Dr..
A F. Jonas subscribed 10000, conditional
on the raising of the remaining $50. 900
C. N. Dietz started things going with
$1,000 and others followed with smaller
sums. The Methodist churches out in

elders, agreed to give 20 per cent OF their

Chicago Thief Gives Tips on Burglary

He said no housebreaker or pickpocket
would dream of working" unless he
had in his pocket, or somewhere about
his person. either a small piece of coal,
chalk or lucky stone, TO guard against
misfortune.
For instance, should a thief be riding on
a car and he happens to see a horse fall
down he regards it as a warning that he
must do no work" that day.
Should a pickpocket steal a purse con-
tanning foreign money he thinks he Is
certain, before the year is out, to travel
quickly to foreign lands in order TO es-
cape punishment. To find gold in a purse
stolen at wedding is regarded as good
luck, while it is equally bad to ''wQrk'
at a funeral
I'VE all consider funerals bad luck" said
the superstitious housebreaker. III We
meet one while we are on the way 20 rob
a house 1t means death or imprisonment.
I'll bet houses near a cemetery are not in
vaded There is an old fellow at Joliet
named Cooper who teaches US all these
things. He says he can never be sentenced
again because he is serving his twenty
eighth sentence and Is is his lucky number.
III we meet a sleeping dog on our way
to work q fiat We know we are going to be
lucky. And that is the way with fags hyins
on peoples houses. We know they are
good, trusting people and looking for a
good time. We always make for houses
where flags are flying. 1t is one Of our
rules"
All criminals are firm believers in dreams,
said an oHicial at the county jail. A man
who was on trial in Chicago on a charge
Of murder told a guard the day before his
case went to the jury that he dreamed he
saw a rainbow. From this he deduced he
would be acquitted. TO every ones sur
prise ne was.
The peculiar superstitions attached 20
Friday ana 10. curiOusly enough, are
scarcely considered by the thief. Houses
with the numbers mentioned above how
ever, are avoided.
Members OF the HOUSEKEEPING fraternity
according TO the statements Of experienced
detectives. win never a-ain visit "A house
in which their work has been disturbed.
On the other hand, they will resort again
and again TO houses they have successfully
pluHdered. The police are well aware OF
this fact. and they frequently catch men by
waiting for the next visit.

date the sick who sought to enter its doors.
Many years have passed since the Metho-
dists OF Nebraska began to talk of new
building large enough that no one vsauld
be turned away. They have been years of
unremittlng effort on the part of the
deaconessess and the board of trustees,
who sometimes saw but little progress
made. and again were encouraged to keep
up their work by the response from the
people.
The fruition Of their hopes and labors is
at hand Last Thursday afternoon the
cornerstone of the hospital was laid, and
laid with the assurance, as Charles A. Goss
said in his address. that the building would
be finished as 1t had been begun, free Of
debt.
More than two years ago the hospital
was begun, the laundry and boiler house
and the operating pavilion being built.
The foundation OF the main building wal
finished up to the water table. When
money would be secured for the remainder
of the work the board members Of the board
OF trustees did not know, but they had
faith that it would be obtained. and they
lost no time in setting about their task
Though a long time and much effort had
been expended In raising the $4,000 paid
for the site and the part of the institution
then completed the hearts OF the workers
were little daunted by the thought of the
$4,000 they had yet to raise. 1t has taken
them more than Two years TO get the
money, but the time of expectation has

sands of dollars. The campaign lasted
less than a month"; with the greatest pres

had purchased a lot at the northwest
corner of Fo' s@uth and Davenport
streets, and here in August, 1857, Bishop
Lee laid the cornerstone of new church.
Owing to the financial depression nothing
more was ever done toward the erection
of that church, and the congregation con-
tlnued to worship in the Pioneer block until
the spring of 1853, when larger quarters
were taken on Harvey street, these serving
until 1859. While worshiping here through
the generosity Of one OF the members, the
church was furnished an altar. lectern
and rail, and later Mrs, Tyler Goodwin
loaned a parlor organ. Through the un-
firing efforts OF Hon, r. c. Jordan a
choir was organized, experimenting the
organ, and after that services were con-
Quoted in conformity to the forms Of the

Laying of the Conventions.

Laying OA NhG NOEhGEANOMCs
The exercises attendant upon the laying
of the cornerstone were held at the south
east corner OF the main building. on a
platform erected above the foundation
which has stood so many months awaiting
its superstrueture. Some of the prOmi.
nent men Of Methodism were there Bishop
John w. Hamilton of San Francisco. who
is going about the country With the mis-
sion Of raising money to rebuild the
Methodist churches OF the hre-swept city,
was the spea9er OF the afternoon. Co
ernor John l.. Mickey, ever active in all
work in the interests of Methodism, was
there and presided over the exercises. Rev.
William Gorst. presiding elder OF the
Omaha district. was there. and members
OF the board OF trustees from Omaha and
other parts OF the state as well, were on
the platform.
In front OF the platform, on chairs pro-
vided for them, or on the grass Of the
hospital grounds, sat something like 100
people. For them. the people on the plat
form were outlined against the operating
pavilion, in and out at whose broken win
dows the birds few. Behind them huge
piles OF red brick bore evidence TO the
fact that the contractors had already

These tips were given 10 the police
by a South Chicago houseOrealSer who was
caught in an effort to enter a house that
had been robbed successfully four fines
within the last six months. The thief ex-
planned that he was first attracted to the
house by the stars and stripes floating
from the first floor window, and accord
ing to robber superstition that was an
invitation to work the fiat" He also ad-
mitted having robbed the house several
times previously, relying on the supersti-
tion that he was perfectly safe in visit
ing a house he had successfully plum
dered.

mood, went on to supplement the many
items of information on burglar supersti-
ton already in the hands of detectives.

The old hospital has accommodated
about 500 patients year. and an average
of 100 persons a month have been re-
fused. There are places for thirty-seven
patients, but forty-one or forty-two are
crowded in most of the time The new
hospital will care for 1000 to $500
patients a year. The building is planned
so that with the least expense four wings
can be added to it. and hospital could
be made large enough to care for 5000
