Novel Muptials in Which the Church is Bridegroom, A Religious Reception at the Convent in North Omaha. Three Young Ladies Abandon the World Forever Ana Discard the Wreath of Roses For a Crown of Thorns. Thilling Scenes in a Sacred Sanc- tuaty. No notice had been published in the papers tha of 8t. Clare, o:, as 1hoy are more familiarly known, the Sisters of Poor Clare, wers on Friday to be enclosed. Neither had it been announced that a reception of postulants was to take place in the Poor Clare convent. Despite these facts, however, the knowledge of both occurrences had traversed the ciiy, and, as a conse- «quence, the convent on the hill north- west of Creighton college was on that aftornoon crowded by both curious and interested people to witness both of the novel ceremonies, “‘RECEPTIONS IN RELIGION" are not of trequent occurrence in Omaha. That of Friday was the first, and most widely known for several years. As a rule Catholics are pretty familiar both with the meaning and the importance of a religious recep- tion. To those who are not of that belief, the term has a vague and in- definite meaning. For the informa- tion of the latter, it may be necersary to state that a reception in religion, in a convent, is the ceremonial whereby young ladies are admitted to the probationary state called the novi- tiate. Before the ceremony of recep- tion, a preparatory state must be passed through by the candidate, the duration of which ranges from two to twelve months. During this period the candidate is known as A POSTULANT. The ceremony of the reception is performed by the bishop, or a priest delegated by him, and consists in blessing the religious dress or habit and investing the postulant therein, appropriate prayers the while be- i"l}r“id by the officiating clergy. he cloistering of nuns is still more rare in this country. It consis's in the withdrawigg, entirely and forever from the world, of the sisters who be- come inclosed with the Franciscan Sisters of Poor Clare, the order with which this article deals, this with- drawal means the closing in behind tho walls of the convent, removed even from the dearest relative or friend of the ladies who composg tho crder. They never leave the convent unless it be to labor in the garden; they NEVER @AZE UPON THE FACE OF MORTAL outside the convent enclosure, and never meet, unless in cases of import- ance, and then the conversation must be carried on with the sister behind a curtained lattice, through which facial recognition is impossible. The atten- ant clergyman of the convent never sees the faces of the members of the community, When the latter approach communion, they receive the Blessed Sacrament through an aperture in a ocurtained lattice on one side of the chapel. It is not necessary to go further into details as regards the pe- cular strickness of the order, both as regards DISCIPLINK AND SEOLUSION, To do so would transcend the limits of a newspaper article, Sufficient has been said to explain one of the princi- pal exactions oF the community, The recoption and cloistering took place in the little chapel of the con- vent. The chapel is properly intended for & community of about fitteen people. Ten times that number were, during the ceremonies, of Friday, con- tained within it and the adjoining rooms. Of the visitors, a large num- ber wero of protestant denominations, drawn thither by a respectful cur- iosity., The cgremony must have been particularly ini ting because nearly every looker-on remained throughout. At four o'clock Bishop O'Conner, attended by Fathers Colaneri, Shaffel, McCarthy “and Martin, entered the sanctuary, The three postulants oo oupied convenient positions before the communion rail, On the Bishop's the Franciscan Sisters | | AND MUZZLE-LOADING turning to the postulants, the latter rose, approached THE FOOT OF THE ALTAR, kneeled, prostrated slightly, and rose Then followed a number of prayers from the ritual, read by the Bishop and attendant clergy. These was fol- lowed by the blessing of the habit, which in turn was succeeded by other prayers, the ‘‘Veni Creator,” and an- other short prayer, by the Bishop. The last prayer said the Bishop, ad- dressing one of the postulants, asked: “‘Daughter, what dost thou ask?” | The postulant, rising amid the sur- | rounding and eager witnesses and | listeners, and dressed in white satin, with flowing veil and wreath of flow- | ers upon her head, even as a bride, in a firm tone answered and said: My | Lord, T ask the grace aud mercy of | God to consecrate myself in the order of the eeraphic Father of St. Francis and of the glorious mother St, Clare.” 8o answering, she returncd to her KNEELING POSITION. The same question was asked of the second and third postulant, each of whom, apparelled like the first, rising | in turn, made answer a8 above. The answers over, the postulants were asked to be seated. The bishop | then addreszed them upon the naturs and importance of the step they were about to take and concluded with | some very c'everly spoken sentences of advice and nicely framed requests | for prayer for themselves, their order, | the pope, the city, their friends, the vicariate and the church. Rising at the consclosion of his re- warks, the bishop, addressing the postulants, each in turn, asked: “My daughter, do you still persevere in the request you haye made?”’ The postulants standing, each in turn answered, ‘“My Lord, I only sigh after THE HAPPY MOMENT which shall separate me forever from the world.” The bishop then said, “God grant you this grace,” to which all the at- tendant clergy answered ‘“‘Amen.” The postulants then took a kneeling position in the middle of the sanctu- ary, and from the head of each the at- tendant Sisters removed the wreath of flowers, substituting therefor a wreath of thorns, the placing of which upon the tender heads produced a chill in the sympathetic heart of mauy a looker-on. The blessing of the dark brown dress of the order, the cape and veil, the rosary and cincture followed, each article in turn being bestowed upon the several postulants in the or- der mentioned, and RECEIVED WITH A KIS, In the hands of the three ladies was then placed a lighted taper, and with these in their hands the postu- lants, as also the attendant sisters, withdrew., During the absence of both sisters and postulants the clergy read a number of psalms for the ceremonial, at the conclusion of which both msters and novices appeared behind the grating which separates the chapel from the eisters’ auditory, on the west side of the building. Kneeling BEFORE THE GRATE each lady received her name in re- ligion. The first lady, Miss Lucy D. Tucker, of West Troy, received Sis SHOT-GUNS, RIFLES, PISTOLS AND AMMUNITION. RUSSIAN KEFUGEES. Interviewing the Persecuted He- brew Community from Kieff. Sickening Story of the Atro- cities of the Czar's Sol- diers, Plans for the Future in Free America. The Russian Jewishemigrants, men- tioned in Saturday’s Bee as having just arrived in this city, have been well caved for by members of the He- brew Benevolent society and several kind hearted citizens, and they are all now safely housed awaiting the completion of final arrangewents for distributing them in various parts of the state, a few, however, will remain in Omaha, Sunday morning paid them a visit and interviewed them through the medium of the German language, and elicted SOME HEART RENDING FACTS in reference to theee persecuted peo- ple. Through the kindness of Mr. J Harris, who has found room for thirty-tive of them, the reporter was enabled to see them in their tempor- ary home at the corner of Tenth and Farnam. On communicating his er- rand the scribe was received in a very gracious manner, and the men showed themselves very willing to tell what they knew. 'llhere are 151 persons in the party and among them are representatives of a great many trades and callings of every description. When asked as to whether the accounts published in the papers were exaggerated or not they replied with great warmth that the real state of affairs was much worse | than had been represented here. 1In | the city of Kieff, where they came from EVERY CONCEIVABLE ATROCITY had been committed on the nufortun- awe people without regard to sex or | age. Some of these atrocities are so | horrible in their nature that they are totally unfit for publication. ! Shortly before they left Keiff a large | body of Cossacks, armed to the teeth, | took the Jewish quarter by storm, pillaging and burning the houses by wholesale, violating the women and killing and torturing the men. Tears came into the eyes of one intelligent looking middle-aged man when he re- lated the narrow escape his wife and | children had frem a violent death. It appears that a party of Cossacks took it into their heads one day to go round the streets armed with scythes, | intending to SCYTHE OFF THE HEAD of every Jew they came across, and it was only by falling on her knoes and A BuE reported early | imploring them for the sake of her lit- | | tle children not to kill her that they relented and loft her, contenting themselves with slaughtering the men. The police, although well disposed to- wards the people, are powerless from | inequality of numbers, and were on ter Mary of St. Antoni; the second lady, Miss T. Brady, of Jersey City, recoived Sister Mary of St Clare, and the third, Miss C Birmingham, of Louisville, Ky., Mary of St. Agnes. The bishop addressed the ladies again in encouraging words, and fol- lowed by giving each postulant a ¢ py of the rule of the order, saying: “Take, my dsughter, this holy rule and observe it in each way, that you may some day deserve the reward promised to a faithful soul.” The mistress of novices was re- quested to receive the tulants, and to 8o direct them that they might soon acquire the virtues that ought to dis- tinguish daughters of St. Clare. The *“Te Deum’* was then read by the clergy, and fcllowed by a few prayers, and then it was ALL OVER. The clergy withdrew from the chape!, followed by the people who had wit- nossed the symbolic and edifying cere- monials, A last view of the sanctuary com- one oceasion prevented fram executing their duties, because the barbarous Coesacks were headed by a son of the governor general of the place. The private soldiers sympathized with them, but they acted under orders, and the officers were either unfavora- bly disposed towards them or were in- different. At one ‘time, when the slaughter and outrages had been worse than usual, the police marshal stowed a lot of the unfortunates away in a cellar, but the place was so damp and the air so foul that MANY OF THEM DIED from the evil effects. As a body they are very intelligent, and several of them could speak two or three other languages in addition to their native tongue, Most of the younger women are reatly . quite handsome and when the news gatherer popped in they were en deshabille but at once endeavored to fix themselyes up by the aid of a small piece of looking glass. Most of the men are pretty well off in a money int of view, not a few of them hav- prehended a few wazen tapers shed- ding a fitful light upon the deserted scene, and the recumbent forms of both novices and sisters in prayer be- hind the lastice. There wasa holy calm and quiet in the scene that filled the departing beholder with mingled feelings of reverence and awe. e *Lydia E.

Among those who deserve especial mention for coming to the front and helping the refugees ars Meesrs, Schlank, Gottheimer, Rosenfield and Harris, who have either taken them in their places or found shelter for them. They have also taken great care to provide them with food, of which they appeared in great need. Last, but by no means least, one of the women gave birth to A RUSSIAN-AMERICAN BOY on Saturday morning. In connection with this subject it might be interest- ing to give a brief description of Kieff, which is variously spelied Kiev and Kiew, The city, which js stron.ly forti- fied, is ituated in the southwestern part of. Burogean Ragsia, on the night bank of Daieper. 1t interests ure very varied, and it has a number of manufactories of every deseription, and also possesses quite a lu g num- ber of fine buildings. Tts importance i3 somewhat increased by the fact that the governor general has his pal- ace here. It also has GREAT HISTORICAL INTEREST from the fact that in this ancient city Christianity was first introduced into Ruesia emong the barbarous hordes of -he steppes of Russia, and as hav- ing beer: for a long time the recog- nized capital of all Russia. The popuiation now is about 250,000, of which about 40,000 are Jews; that is, before the revolt took place. At the present time there are 15,000 of these refugees laying in New York and about 4.000 in Philadelphia. A PRINTER’S PRIDE. 'The Monumental Succets of the New Hstablichment in Creighton Hall.

The Steamer Wyoming ‘“Libeled” at This Port. The Funds Put Up in Cash and the Craft Set Free, The Biggest Boat on the River on Her Down Trip. The steamer Wyoming, which is the largest steamboat that ever came up the Missiouri river arrived in Omaha Saturday af- ternoon about five o'clock, bouud for St. Louis She cameiu sight carly in the afternoon but stranded on a sand bar just above the band, break- ing her wheel and requiring consider- able delay before it could be repaired 80 a8 to go on to the levee at the fLot | of Farnam street, where she finally | landed. | It appears that the captain did not intend to land in Omaha until he was notified in some way by Troxell & Co. their agents there, that there would probably be a shipment of mules from Omaha to Kansas City,and according- ly they rounded to to take this freight landing in the midst of a heavy storm of wind and rain. Instead of being boarded by a couple of hun- dred mules, the vessel was boarded by Duputy United States Marshal E. A. Allen, who served pa- pers upon Capt. Coulson in an ad- miralty case, brought by Mr. Mar- shall C. Hamilton, living on Sixteenth | street, the amount of whose claim was $180. The Wyoming went up the river on the 12th of May last, and ac- cording to the reports, took wood amounting’Zto the sum pamed, from the bank up near Calhoun, this wood belonging to Mr. Hamilton, and cither through neglect, or from some other cause, the officers of the boat neg- lected to leave the customary notifica- amount of wood taken, and which is sent to St. Louis and paid at that point. Learning from Tue Bre that the Wyoming was going down the river on Sunday. Mr. Hamilton con- sulted Colonel Smythe, and the result was that the neeessary papers were filed in the United States court, which alone has jurisdiction in admiralty matters. Colonel Smythe procured | the services of a well known live | stock man «f this city, who went to | Trexell & Co. and made a dicker with them for the shipment of two hundred mules to Kansas City, and upon this | represeniation the boat was stopped. The captain was considerably vexed at this interruption of his voyage, aud expressed his opinion in language more forcible than polite. Alter rust- ling round for some time, he finally put up the amount in cash, and the boat was allowed to proceed. In the meantime Hamilton, who had incended to ntercept the boat at Calhoun and then ride on horseback to Omaha, by which method he could arrive of the Omuha | aheaa of the boat and notify the at- torneys, had gone up to wateh for her The new ruling machine | passage at the bend and at last ac. | counts was still watching tor her, she having arrived a day ahead of the time fixed, so that it is hard to tell whether the joke is on the captain or the plaintiff in the case, The Wyoming was built at Pitts- burg in 1879. Her length is 200 feet, and her breadth 50 feet, and she draws 20 ivches light, Her cost was nearly $65,000. Her officers are: W, W. Coulson, captain; 8. 8. Coulson, clerk; M. M. Coulson, second clerk; John Coonce, pilot; John Gill and David Best, engineers; A. A. Wort- man, male, and ehe is manned by a crew of thirty men. Early Sunday moruing the stacks and spars were lowered, and the huge steamer passed gracetully between the piers of the Union Pacific bridge, and shot away towards St, Louis. She will run between St. Louis ard Kan- sas City the rest of the season in the “‘People’s Line,” DIED.
