How It was Observed in the City of Omaha, Church Services, the Theater, Dance and Various Other Means Re- sorted to for the Amuse- ment of the People. AN UNUSUALLY QUIET DAY, Thanksgiving day, a day which has come to be observel as a holiday from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts, has once more come and gone, leaving be- hind, not only-many thankful hearts, but many aching heads and stomaches from having either tarried too long at the wine cup or the dinner table, and, in many instances both. The day although generally observed in this city as a holiday, was one of the most quiet Thanksgiving days that Omaha has ever witnessed. Most of our busi- ness houses were closed in the latter part of the day, and all hands were given an opportunity to enjoy themselves as their fancies might dictate. The day was ushered in by song, dance and general merry making, and many an one there was who would have much preferred to spend the day in bed than otherwise. The church goine people did not forget their duties, and the several churches, in which services wereheld, were well filled, AT TRINITY CATHEDR A large congregation was in attendance, and the services were of a vory instruc- tive character. An eloquent sermon was preached by Canon Doherty, who took for his text the words, *‘Is not the Lord your God with you, and hath He not given you rest on every sidel” ‘Set your heart and soul to seck Him,and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God.” David was a model of a wise ruler and a great man, He was not faultless, but his great ability was exalted by humility and udorned by religion. Out of a lot of bushmen and cave-men he made a nation of warriors and civilized beinga, industri- ous, progressive, successful religious, The foundation of his own character, and of the commonwealth which he built up, were laid in a pure faith, upon the Rock of Ages, and the superstructures of both were raised by the development of right ideas respecting the author of all right. There are genius and passion. which are only finer or coarser forms of clay, and there are genius and passion, all aglow with the inbreathings of divine life. There are giants of intellect and of lust, who are mere fellers, who would tear down the heavens and break down the barriers erected by divine authority for the l,mtcc:i.m of human society, These would precipitate the deluge. ~There aro men of great heads and heroic hearts who straggle to sustain the divine government of heaven, and to repair the breaches made in the outworks of human society by sin, It is better to save a soul than t» write a book, or raise a question. Giants of lust, coarse and brutal, fol- low closely on the heels of the more re- fined but not more sanctified giants of intellect. Every Voltaire has his Robes- pier: thank offering for peace and prosperity was a great national cathedral to the glory of the God of peace. What shall we do unto_the Lord for our peace and upparalleled prosperity? Lot us build up a great nnnunal sanctuary, whose walls shall be co-extensive with the state. Let us strivo and pray for the union of all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ in gincerity. Let the *‘church of the fu- ture” be the church of the past in such wise as the stately and umbrageous onk is the acorn. THE BAPTIST CHURCH, At the Baptist churcha_goodly audi- ence were assembled to listen to the words of truthas spoken by the Lord through his servant, ttev, H. W, Browne, the evangelist. Mr. Browne selected as a basis for his remarks, the truth as it appeurs in the 234 psalm. Ina very clear, concise manner, he explained the great need which all have of a shepherd, showing how Josus, tho great shegherd, is calling us to groen pastures, and how he is constantly leading us beside the still wators and restoreth our souls, and how, at the last, he will go with us through the valley of the shadow of death, and that if our trust is placed in Him we need fear no evil for His rod and staff will comfort us. He also impressed upon the minds of his hearers the fact that the surrender to the Lord must be wholly and unconditional if they would bo saved at last. He set forth the many - THE DAILY BEE--UMAHA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 185. But God, who takes away the loved one, has given us all else that insurcs happi- ness, and whether sending joy or grief, He doeth all things well.” After church all returned to their homes where sumptuous repasts had been prepared, and such dinners as were sat down to in Omaha yesterday would do honor to the table of a king. Many who did not care to undergo the trouble of a Thanksgiving dinner at home, dined at the hotels, where elegant tables were sproad, especially at the Paxton and Mil- lard hotels was the skill of the cooks ex- hausted, and the most exacting epicure found everything at his hand, i In the afternoon the opera house was packed from ccllar to dome to witness the first appearance in this city of W, J. Ferguson as *“Sir Chauncey Trip” in *“A Friendly Tip.” Never in the history of the @pera house has such an audionce beon present to witness a_matinee per- formance, and they were all weil repaid. Mr Ferguson pictured the modern dude to perfection and kept his audience ina roar of laughter from his first ap- pearance until the going down of the cur- tain. He is a very clever actor, and his song ‘‘Ah! There!” in the third act did much to help out the part. Ho was well supported, each part being well taken. He ropeated the play toa full house in the evening, The only thing which happened te mar the enjoyment at Boyd's, was th appearance, during the last act of the matinee performance, of three drunken “bums,” who made claims to respecta- bility under the cloak of commercial travelers. They stood in the rear of the honse, staggerng and using language only fit for the saloon or brothel, insult- ing every lady and gentleman within hearing of their voices, and one of them alittle more “‘fresh’”” than the others, en- deavored to pick a quarrel with a gentle- man who chanced to pass. The manager of the house should have such ‘‘curs” pitched headlong into the street. THE ACADEMY. THEATERS At the Academy Castle's Celebrities gave a splendid Thanksgiving perform- ance at the matinee and also in the even- ing. They gave a good show and to a large audience. THE U, C.

A generous collection was taken up for the poor of the city. THE PRESBYTERTAN CHURCHES of the city united in a union thanksgiving service at the church, corner of Seven- teonth and Dodge streets, at 11 o'clock, where & sermon was preached by Rev, T, C. Hall, pastor of the Southwest Presby- terian church, who took for his {ext, “Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be requived.” He said, in substance: “'If we stood alone on this day, having no ancestry to look back to, no posterity te look forward to, we might well feel proud of our pwsition, But we do look back to an ancestry to whom we owe our present blessings; we do look forward to a posterity to whom we shall transmit the results of our labors. We reap to-day thebenefitsof our forefathers' struggles, we enjoy the freedom for which they gave their life blood, and we are enjoying the harvest which is the fruit of their toil. To us, therefore, belongs the responsibility of so employing the wealth nntr privileges placed in our hands that our children may reap blessings, We reap and sow, we gather in and scatter abread.

Let us see to it that we do not allow our governwment to be Leld by dishonest, God forgetting men; that we do not allow our country to be ruled by men wham we would not re- ceive into our homes. 1f America would but stamp upon her wealth, her freedom, her institutions, the seal of the Great King, her future would bring as many 10 her as the past has to us.

AMICABLY ADJUSTED. The Railroad War is Settled and all is Quict Along the Belt. No More Injunctions at Present but a New Breaking Out May Oc- cur at Any Time. The St. Paul and the Belt line appear | now to have become partially reconciled toward each other. It was a genuine scare that the Belt people had Wednes day night. As stated by the Beg, Church | Howe was at the bottom of it. He had a talk with John D. Howe, the St. Paul attorney, in the hope of obtaining some information that would be worth carry- ing tothe U. P. He got more of a “ pointer’’ than he was probably expect- ng. The attorney intimated that by morning there would be no Belt railway. Immediately Church Howe rushed into court with an affidavit and proceeded to give his information where he thought it was most needed. Then followed the commotion that was described in Thurs- day morning’s Brg, The injunction suits instituted against each by the UnionPacific and Umaha Belt railways, on the one side, and the Chi- the other, have all been dismissed, and a truce has been declared. All is now quiet along the Belt. The Union Pacific has dismissed its army of guards, who have returned to their various peaceful avocations. Church Howe has returned to his country home, and John D, Howe will not have occasion, for some little time at least, to put up any more jobs on him or the Union Pacific. The “amicable” adjustment of the dif- ficulties between the Union Pacific and the Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul & Omaha is in accordance with the predic- tion made by the Bre on Wednesday last.

Java and dred and Fifty Childre ing & Good Time Grand Work, Thanksgiving was celebrated at the City Mission, Tenth and Capitol avenue. | By 7 o'clock four or five hundred chil- dren had gathered there, and places were found for them either to sit or stand. | Although the oceasion had not been ad- vertisel very much, friends had re- sponded in a sufficient degree to supply {a limited amount of provisions in theway of sweet-meats, The exercises of the evening consisted in recitations, solos and choruses, which had been prepared by the mission for the oceasion, and the programme was gone | through wlth in a manner very creditable o the children and to the school. This school, which has become one of the institutions of Omaha, is now fast growing into a great enterprise. Those who have the work in charge are now ar- ranging their plans for a permanent building on a lot to be owned by the mission. They hope sometime during the winter to be able to bring the mat ter before the citizens of Omaha in an intelligent and plain way, with the view of getting their aid in the work. Last Sunday the Sabbath school, which is non-sectarian, had 227 in attendance, which were all that could be well accomo- dated, while on Saturday the ladies in- dustrial school was attended by 116 girls. As those who attend the mission are not connected with any church, and as it is intended to connect with the mission a relief department and a home for friendless children, it is hoped when the enterprise is brought before the peo- ple of Omaha they will give it a kind hearing. To show the interest which these children take in the school, it may be stated, as a fact, that although the | exercises were not to begin until 7 o'clock last evening there were ren on board waiting to get into tho building as early 9 o'clock in the morning. It would ave been a sufficiens reward to those who sent provisions if they could have seen how greatly delighted the children were to receive the contributions, | | o —m— Trusses,Shoulder Braces, and Crutches nl2-tf At GoopyaNs, ik L R Japanese Robes, Seal and Nutria Caps at Saxe, the Hatter, fri-mon‘wed-decl For Domestic Fashions and Catalogue, call at Domestic Sewing Machine Office, 122 8, 15th Street. n22-2w | e Real Estate Transters, The following decds were filed for record in the county clerk's office No- vember 28, reported for Tue Bee by Ames’ real estate agency: Joseph Leis and wife toJulius Schmidt, w d, lot 8 in Leis' Place, add to Omuha, £300.

Ryan Cnts Her Own Throat While Temporarily Insane, 8he was Taken to 8t. Joseph's Hos- pital Where She Died this Morning—Verdict of Jury. The investigation of the South Omaha tragedy had scarcely been finished when the news came that a lady by the name of Mrs. Ryan had taken her own life b the aid of a butcher knife, in the house of a friend on Sixteenth strect. In looking up the matter it was found that the lady in question was the wife of Mr. William Ryan, a fireman stationed at No. 2 engine house. The facts in the case are these: Yesterday morning she left her home at the corner of Forteenth and Webater streets, and went to look at a house, which she purposed occupy- ing as it would bring her nearer her hus- band. She first visited the engine house and left her purse with her husband. She then repaired to the house of a Mrs. Cleary, corner of Sixteenth and Mason streets, and stating toMrs. Cleary that she was not feeling well, asked por. mission_to lie down, which was_given her, and she was shown to a bedroom, She had concealed under her wrap a coil of clothes line, and with this she tried to end her lifo, but failing, she requested Mrs. Cleary to give her a drink of water. While the lady of the house was absent for the water, Mrs. Ryan jos- sessed herself of a butcher knife, which was in a safo stand: ing near, and after having taken the water she requested Mrs. Cleary to close the door and not disturb her for an hour. Mrs. Cleary did not close the door but remained away for nearly an hour when she again went to the room and looked in. The sight which met her eyes would cause the strongest heart to turn faint. The body was lying upon the bed, the pillow down under her shoulders, and her head thrown back upon the bed, while a HORRIBLE GASH across her throat was visible and from which the blood was flowing, and the deadly instrument lying by her side. Mrs. Cleary at once summoned a neighbor named Mr. Sullivan and he hastened to eall Kenney and also telephoned to police headquarters, from whence Mr. Ryan was informed of the sad aftiiction which had fullen upon him like a pall. The physicians took up the severed ar- teries, sewed up the gaping wound, and had the lady conveyed to St. Joseph's hespital. Tt was found that the wind pipe had been partiully severed, but it was thought by the doctors that she might possibly recover, but fate had de- creed otherwise, and this morning at 6:50 she quietly passed awsy. The coroner’s jury, which was com- posed of G. 8. Kastman, W. D, Davis, John Turnbull, John H. Parrott, C. 0. Michaelson and P. Connors, returned a verdict “‘that the lady came to her death by the shock and asphyxia, resulting from the wound inflictes by her own hand, and that the rcason for the com- mission_ef the act wus to the jury un- known.” After the inquest the body was taken to her late residence, corner of ¥our- teenth and Webster streets. Mrs. Ryan has resided in Omaha for eighteen years and was married to Mr. Ryan sixteen years ago. She was about 40 years of age. About eight years ago she lost a child by death, and since that time bas never been herself, being mel- ancholy and morose at times, which has not been improved by the business in which her husband ‘has been engaged, being away from home the ureater part of the time. She has of late had frequent fits of melancholy, and has at_various times threatened to end her life, but it was not thought that she would carry out such threats. | In brooding over her sorvow she had grown tired of life and preferred death s0 much wore, that she was at last in dnced to take that which He alone can give, her life. e— Full line of choice domesticand im- ported cigars at KAursAxN Bros., 1424 Farnam, ndtf | — W TIME NOTIC To whom it may concern: We have just put on sale a new stock of the popu- lar Columbus Watches.

The operator enters a store and pur- chases twenty-five cents’ worth of goods, and offers in payment a $10 bill, or, p haps, & larger one, After receiving his change le discovers that he bas twenty- five cents in his pocket, and asks the merchant to take back the change and return the bill. Several changes are made, and the result is that he comes out from $1 to §0 ahead in each case unless he is watched very closely, He wa.L run hintu ‘oliu court this morning Oiticer Flynn, and upon pL.dm' fi g\u’lly Hurley was fined 850 and cobts, which he “‘whacked up,” and then made complaint against another party, who, he claims, taught him how to 'ugk‘ the ‘‘succors,” and with whom the spoils were divided, CROCKERY,GLASSWARE Lamps, Baby Carriages, CUTLERY, ETC, ETC.
