She dis- guised hersclf as n man, and, together with two male companions. not only went all over the monastery, but spent the night there. On passing through the groat fi_uw in the morning, the actress tore off her wig and mustmflw‘ and dis- appeared from the horrified view of the monks with shricks of laughter. The abbot ordered the whole establishment to be purified—that is, fumigated, The chair the actress sat upon, the couch she used, and l‘vn-rylhin% she could possibl have touched, were burned to ashes, and for months every place where her foot- steps could have fallen were drenched with holy water. Remorse cventually eame to the actress, for after her imp ous escapade she suffered from bad. lue almost as severoly as the Jackdaw of Rheims. It cost her several thousand francs and many weary penances before sbe obtained absolution from the arch- bishop of Paris and in a special epistlo of from the abbot, whose feelinzs she had s0o outraged. The church having for- given her, howover, her stage good for- tune returned; so lpem is some moral to the episode. wip— When you are consti tite, headache, take one of Dr. J.

The Splendid Non-Partisan Ticket Named Last Evening, ENTHUSIASTIC Citizens Who Will Lift the Schools Qut of the Slums of Politfes— Yesterday's Primary and ConventionFal AN MEETING. The Next School Board, A splendid ticket was put in nomina- tion at the non-partisan citizens' conven- tion which was heid at the board of edu- cation rooms last evening. Nearly one hundred Indies and gentlemen were pres- ent, although afew left before the vot- ing commenced, The mecting was called to order at 8:30 o'clock last evening by Mr. Howell, who aid that he had been put at the head of a committee selected to call a non-parti- san meeting to put non-partisan candi- dates for the school board in nomination. He nominated Samuel Reece as chairman, Mr. Reece was eclected and said: 'This isthe third meeting for action uvon the idea to divorce our schools from polities. Two have been broken up by persons who came here for that purpose. I now desire to announce that no motion which 18 inimical or which shows that the owner of the motion 1s opposed to the purpose of this meeting will be cntertained here to-night. Mr. Forsyth was elected secretary, but was not present. Mr. A, P, Tukey was then chosen seeretary. M. Howell presented a paper signed y about fifty citizens, which proved to be the cali for the meeting on Thursday evening. A motion that the appeal of the com- mittee be accepted and that the meeting act on that ground henceforward, was carried. Mr. E. Rosewater made a few words ot explanation. He saia he was one of the committee chosen to draft an address and prepare a He assisted in draw- ing the address and in putting it in cireu- Iation. He was away from the city and was not able to attend the meeting of Thursday night. Upon his return he found that s not in harmony with the purpose of the meeting had succeeded ! ing itup. He had, therefore, akon the responsibility of ealling this meoting, The election takes place on Monday. If the eandidates should come here on Saturday night and wrangle over therr endorsement the better class of people would walk out of the hall and leave the results to the vagabonds and loafers who broke up the meeting Thurs- day might. It is high time we take some action. [t mattered mnot whether the nomineces be party candidates or mno. No men could e considered candidates who were chosen by delegates who had been elected by stich a farce ns wus enucted at the pr aries that day. The votes at the p aries had not exceeded twenty on an average. ‘To say that delegates elected at such primaries are representatives ot the people is an insult to the intelligent voters of the various wards. He contended that the new law took the school board out of party lines and gave the mothers as well us “the fathers an oppormni!i' to nn{ who should control the schools, It would be a disgrace to the city of Omaha if, despite the good law now afforded it, the citizens should not avail themselves of its benetits. Nothing is to be sought for except the election of a tirst class board of educa- tion. Mr. Rosewater denied that there was any scheme to remove the present superintendent. ke, himself, was in favor ot Mr. James and in due course of time he should move a resolu- tion pledging the candidates to that gen- tleman. E(ADDlml:w). 1f a good ticket were nominated he had no fear of the result. He had no fearof the purchaseable votes being on hand to defeat the selection of good men. There was not 1n & school election sufli- cient inducement to bring out that class of voters. 1f there was any scheme it was in the candidacy of men who are laboring to secure nominations through vartisan conventions. He concluded with the hope that when the meeting ad- journed it would be with a ticket for which every one could work heartily, and which would be victorious. (Appinuse). Some discussion followed as to the method of proceeding to nomination of candidates, It was tinally settled by the adoption of a motion taat all candidates should be named, and that out of the number nine should be selected by ballos. Previous to this decision Augustus Pratt had been put in nomination and unani- mously chosen. For the purpose of se- curing uniformity of action, Mr. Howell, who had nominated Mr. Pratt, withdrew his nawme. The following ladies and gen- tlemen were then placed before the con- vention: Augustus Pratt, J. H. McClure, A. P, Tukey, Charles Connoyer, Isaac H. Cong- don, Miss Libbie Poppleton, Mrs. Dr. Dinsmore, Mrs. O. M. Ramsey, John Wigman, A. R. Dufreve, Fred Gray, Dr. J. G, Seville, W. A. L. Gibbon, John Rosicky, Truman Buck, John J. Points, Dr. A. A. Parker, W, E. Clark, J. 8. Gib- son, Charles J. Carbaugh, Mrs. Sudbor- ough, Charles Burman, Thomas A. Creigh, Julius Rudowsky, Henry Ehren- xty-five ballots were cast, and on each were written thenames of nine con- didates. Of the nmmber, six: Augustus Pratt, J. H. McClure, A. P, Tuckey, l'ru- man Buck, Fred Gray, and Miss Libbie Poppleton, received 38 votes or more, being a majority. They were declares nominated. A motion was then earriod that the threa having the highest number of votes of the remaining nominces should be declared the candidates of the convention. It was found that the three were L H. Congdon, T. A. Creigh, and Myrs. O. N. Ramsey. ‘The nine were then declared the unanimous choice of the convention for the next school board of Umaha. It is doubtful if a more highly qualified or representative ticket could be placed be- fore thoe voters of the city. E. Rosewater moved that the candi- dates nominated should be pledged to vote for the re-election of Professor James as superintendent of the schools of Omaha. Carried amid applause, Mr. Howell moved that a committee of nine he appointed to attend to the printing of tickets and to fill vacancies in event any should occur by declination of any of the candidates nominated. The motion prevailed and Messrs. 8. J. How- ell, E. Rosewater, Augustus H. Pratt, J. Forsyth, Dr. O.S, Woods, A. P. Tukey and James Gibson, and Mesdames Dr. Hanchett and Curtis were appointed. The mecting then adjourncd. ’ The Republican Primaries, ‘The republican primaries yesteraay were little better than farces.

In Default of $8,000 Bail He Goes Back to Jail. A, E. Powell, Dr. Dinsmoor’s swindler, was arraigned before Police Judge Berka for examination last eyening, The testi- mony for the prosecution presented the same facts which have heretofore been published. Powell pleaded not guilty to the charge of obtamning money, under false pretenses, and his attorneys entered an objection to the character of the com- plaint. They contended that the bank would be com pensated by Powell, and the complainant, Dr. Dinsmoor, would Jose nothing on account of having en- dorsed Powell's draft. They claimed that the inabihity of the prisoner to meet the draft wus nothing but a business ahortcoming, and that he should be re- leased in order that he migbt obtain the money to make the shortage good. The arguments were loug and loud, Judge Berka held the prisoner for dis- trict court, and fixed his bail at $3,000. Being unable to furnish it, Powell went back to jail. MASONIC PKFRENTATION.

The police station was the scene of several interestingly unpleasant events last evening. About 730 o'clock Gus Schultz, a saloon keeper at Elevensh and Captol avenue, and his wife were locked up on charge of dis- turbing the peace. The charge of r ing an officer was also made agai Schultz, OMeer Bloom made the arrest, and had to wield his_club in order to do it.

The BEE three weeks ago published an account of a very olever arrest of a man named Jay Tumm¢rly, who had robbed a printer named C. Q. Stuart, a stranger 1 this city, who was on his way west. The arrest was effectad by Oficers Mostyn and Turnbull, and $205 of the §250 stolen were recovered. Tummerly was held and County Attorney Simeral was given the money to hold for purposes of conviction, Shortly after the arrest, Stuart was joined by his wife and left for Oregon, leaving his money with Mr. Simeral. Yesteraay the latter received a letter from Stuart notifying him that 1f the money were not immediately for- warded to him he would bring suit to re- coverit. Mr, Simeral saysthat he is willing to refund the money provided Stuart gomes here to aid in the prosecu- tion. To return it to him now, would defeat the ends of justice, because with- out Stuart as a witness, Tummerly, who stole the money, would have to be per- mitted to go free. ‘The police who made the arrest are incensed, too, at the pros- pect of this encouragement to thieves, and are anxious that the case be pro- secuted. Mr. Simeral says he will stand trial. THF:A’I URNERS, An Excellent Show atthe Opera House Last Night. There was only a fair attendance at the opera house last night.

C. 8. Albert presiding, Rey, H. W Kuhns, D. D., of Westminster, Md., con- ducted the opening services. 'Rev.'H. K, Fenner, of Louisville, Ky. d the scripture, and Rev. J. M. Cromer, of Kansas City, offered prayer. Rev. M. W. Hamma, D. D., of Balti more, Md., delivered’ the address, He said modern home mission work is the moral of primitive christianity. The home mission idea was the first born of the mpulses to spread the gospel of Christ. ‘This was according to the diyine order. “Beginning at Jerusale the plan of Chirist—*""at Jerusalem, in the geographical sense it is true, butina wider sense, with the Jews, the members and people of the old testament church. And suchis the historical fact. It is in order first to observe that the fundamental condition out of which arises the necessity of modern home mission work 1s similar to that out of which grew the first missionary move- ment of the primitive church, 'hm emi gration of the Jews from Palestine to neighboring parts, had been of common occurrence, Early p utions scattered aubroad many of the first christinns, which added to the already wide dispersion of their race. This beeame the means of the spread of the gospel and the occasion of the first missionary work of the church. The disciples hud not _yet dreamt that the gospel was for any but the Jews, and as the first teachers went forth to_them dispersed alone, it was wholly in the sphere of home mission work. It was not until seven or eight years after Pen- tecost that God revealed His purpose to Peter to bring the heathen also nto the Kingdom, and it was not until about four years later that Paul was ready to turn lrlnm the unbelieving Jows to the Gen- tiles. ow while there is not a perfect ana- logy between the primitive and modern forms of home mission work, the funda- mental conditions out of which both arose are wonderfully alike. ‘The dis- persion of the Jews in_general, and the first Christians, espccnfily was the fact out of which grew the necessity for the carliest missionary movement, 8o like- wise the dispersion of Christians and those of reiigious birth and education, which king place in the world ay becomes the necessity for modern home mission work in our country. This despression so largely made up of Lutherans the momentous problem for our church to solve in this land to-day. Modern home mission work1s the re- ival also that it is germinal to all other ious activities. he gospel to the chosen people, the Jews, contmned the germs of all the saving agencies of christianity. 1t had mwrapped with it all theworld, embrac- g apphieations and intinite udu};mblh- ties of christianity. How the forcign work and all the saving activities grew out of the home work as naturally as blade and ear soring from the stock, history clearly shows. In like mannc modern home mission work contains th germs of, and produces all possible chris- tian activities. ‘Again, modern home mission work_ is the revival of the spirit of primitive christianity in respect to religious hero- ism with which it is characterized. Heroism!—A rugged word, borrowed from & rugged age, buta word that opens the door to the very heart of our subject, for true heroism is developed in its most splendid form in the vbrogress of ch i The spirit of modern home nis- n it the heroism of the early The church. The condition and work of many of our home missionaries requires little less he- roism of h and fortitude than that of the primitive tinns, Let me not misunderstond in por- traying the hardships of this work. Ido it not to make the way uninviting and forbidding, but rather to throw around the modern home nnssionary and his work tbe glory of the divinest ieroism in order to set it forth to our mimstry us the place most to be desired above all others ceause in it may be done the most splen- did service and be one the mgliest honor of God's servant. And now having scen that modern home mission work is simply the compre- hensive form of practical ehristianity the conclusion inevitably follows that to sus- tain and promote home missions is to build up the whole kingdom of Christ. This is the all-inclusive work of our Luth- eran chureh for which we plead to-night, After the address the commit on ae- votional services announced the follow- ing appointments for Sunday ) 2 NGELICAL LUTHERANE.
