Omaha's moral condition is very
well indicated by the fact that in the
congregation OF 5000 only twelve felt
the need of conversion. If this ratio
holds good throughout the city the
charge made by other travelling
evangelists that Omaha is the wick
eldest city in the world" is more than
confuted. II can easily be doubted
that no other city of Omaha's popula-
ton could not exceed twelve unregen-
crate in a congregation Of 5000.

1t is likely there will be an important
change in the personnel Of the quartermas-
ter's department shortly. Brigadier Cen
eral Charles F. Humphrey. quartermaster
general Of the army, has under considera-
ton voluntary transfer TO the retired
list He may file this application shortly
after his return from the present inspection
trip Of various military posts, which he
Is making with the secretary Of war and
Brigadier General Barry. 1t is not known,
OF course, when the transfer will take
effoct but pro badly early In the coming
year. If IT were possible to do so under
the law, General Humphrey would be re-
tired as a major general a distinction and
reward he has fully earned by long and
faithful service in the quartermaster de-
partment. He has been of. great value IN
every position he has held in the corps
and has made an excellent uuartermaster
general. 1t is possible that he will be pre-
vailed upon to remain until his retirement
by operation Of law In September Of 1909,
but II is understood that he is DESTROYS of
being relieved Of the arduous tasks de-
volving upon him. II the application for re-
tirement is approved. General Humphrey
will be succeeded by Major CurroU A.
Devol qllartermaster, recently detailed for
duty as a member of the general stan and
shortly due in Washington for duty in the
office of the chief Of staff Major Devol
would have a long period to serve. as he
