Finch sald: “Itis a most absurd statement to an- tagonize the schools, churches and Sunday schools with those schools of erime, the groj shops. 1n a country like ours a debauched populace means tlie overthrow of popular fnverumenl. The grog shop impairs many ntellects, and therefore should be sutfered to exist no longer, The Chicago riots began with the saloon, 1 charge that the Croshy and Vedder liquor bills were introduced in your state assembly in order to defeat the proposed constitutional convention. 1 charge that the republicans had a direct under- standing with their German allies that they wouid not vote against the party because of the Crasby bill.

The “Naiad Queen’ last night drew a large at the opera house. The piece moved so smoothly that the curtain fell upon the last tableaux at a few moments before 10:30 o’clock. The audience was an appreciative one, applauding not blindly, but _intelligently, almost everx scene. While repeating that to whicl the BEE, yesterday, gave expression, viz: that, from a scenic point of view, noth- ing so incomparably fine as the setting of this piece has ever been seen in this part of the country, the other features of the opera being no less worthy of com- mendation. The singing of the adult E‘rincmnls. Anna and Barbara Merkel, Saith Crandall, Bertha _Steinhauser, Georgia Boulter, William Downing an Mrs, White, is one of these, Besides, there are the vocal " efforts an the playful acts of 200 children each of whom is attired in a most airy and atiractive manner, either spotless white or glittering in flashing beads, spangles or yards of gold aud .silver braids. Perhaps seventy-five of these dance and sing and act in the.Gypsy revelry, presenting just so many crazy- uilts und animated Turkish rugs, #na orming a scene which, for picturesque- ness in both pose and color such as has never been found in the most lavish pro- duction_of “Fra Diavala.” The march of the Dryads, performed by young ‘men is another. It shows that the military evolutions which we have so much ad- mired in the opera and midstrel com- panies, can be just as acceptably pre- formed by half-hundred non-professioual but inteiligent Omahans, To cnumerate the foutures of this piece, would be a tiresome undertaking. 1t must be seen,as well tomantain the reputation of Omaha as a place which appreciates only the best, as to be con- vlnccd of the earnestness of this expres- sion. The opera house should be filled every night, L A Volume in a Paragraph. Atlanta Conatitution. *‘What is the object of life?"’ is the qnestion asked by Professor G. J. Ro- manes in the Forum.

Story ofa Whart Nabbery Ten Years Ago and 1ty Effect, Philadelpta Press: ““Now I've got it," he said, after fumblingk throufh his wal- let, and he brought out a little faded newspaper nlir which simply read: ‘‘Some time Iast night, between the rounds of the watohmsn, a gang of river thieves robbed —— wharf, on the Dela- ware, of 500 worth of goods.” “That may be allit was worth to the reading public, my friend,” he went on, “but it looked to e then like disposing of one of the greatest crimes of 1876 with a mere mention, I'll tell you why. I was one of the gang, us the newspapers c]:\ll[c«l 1t, and it was my first and last theft,” This man who chose thus to commit himself is fairly educated. He is clever, and his one night of crime has removed him slowly during a decade of years to the other extreme--that of piety. ‘‘Now, listen,’’ he said, and 1 will _give you the inside history of that wharf robbery. “On the morning of August 17, 1876, I was loaling in Quinn's saloon, who, by the way 15 dead now. [ had been out of work for months. The friends L had made while idling came in and Idrank with them. They were ‘Ike’ Watson and ‘Bill’ Mooney, We drank twice, but not on me, for [ had nothing. They went out- side and I thought they had gone, when *Ike’ put his head in tie door and called to me: “*Tom, I want yer.’ When I reached the pavement Mooney was standing there with him, and ‘lke’ said: ‘“‘How are times with you?' enough,’ I replied. ‘“‘How would you lhke to make a raise?” he asked.” I pushed my toe out through my old shoe and said: ~‘Well, [ should.” ““‘Well, you go with us to-night, and we willgive you a chance.” 1shuddered, for I knew what 1t meant when lke Wat- son or hus pal said that, **‘Well, come, what do you say?’ ‘All right. What are you going to do?’ *‘Never mind” that. Be at Twenty- second and Lombard at 7 o'clock sharp.’ *'I'was there and Ike was waiting. \l’n jumped on a car and rode to Second street, got out and walked rapidly down town. When near Greenwich Ike cut neross the fields until we reached the river bank, Then he stopped and gave a long whistle. An answer came from the water, and a skiff backed up to the bank. Bill Mooney was at the oars. We got in and rowed out into the stream a short distance and anchored. “The two men began conversing, and from what they said I learned that one of the freight wharves on the Delaware river was to be robbed, and that the, would have to wait until high water. was not consulted, and as we sat there in the night, with the boat rocking on the swell, 1 had a chance to think, but think- ing made a coward of me, and I won- dered at their nerve. “It was 11 o'clock when the anchor was hauled in by lke, while Mooney muffled the oars. - Silently he rowed up the river past the old navy yard, cling- ing the while to the shore, and suddenly Ike turned to me and said: ‘Hey, Tom, there’s the wharf; d'ye see it?"" ‘“‘He pointed to a big one, partly cov- ered by a shed, and the skifl" was pulled under the stern of'a ship that lay at the wharf below. There 1t rocked for nearly twenty minutes, and finally I heard Ike whisper to his pal:. There he is. I looked at tfm end of the :wharf and saw the light of alantern finsh out on the water, and gradually grow dimmer and disap- pear. It was the old watchman making his rounds. **'Now,’ said Ike, who was the mov- mg spirit. The boat was backed up stream until it touched the end of the wharf. lke spraug on sljore and whis- Eerud, ‘Hold her there.” In a moment e returned and said to me, ‘Come on Tom, get out, but first pass up that bow- line.) I did 80, and taking me by the arm he led me through a narrow pas- sage made by piles of boxes and bales, and stationing me behind a large box, said, pointing toward the watchhouse: you keep your eyes there, and if you see anyone coming slip back and let me know quick, he comes on 100 quickl mash qMm in the head with this,’ He handed me an iron rod. ‘“‘What, kill him?’ 1 gasped. ‘Yes, kill him, Dead men tell no tales.’ Vith that he left 1me, and us 1stood there watching the lamp in the watch-box his last words rang in my ears and terrified me. |trembled at every shadow until he came 1n again, and motioned me to foliow him. ¥ ‘We went to the boat,got in and pushed off.

When we reached Dickinson street wharf, [ke got ashore and said he would meet us at old Gray's ferry landing with a horse and wagon. ‘‘Mooney and myself rowed around to the mouth of the Schuykill, and rowed up that river,against the tide,to the place appointed. 1t was almost daylight, and we hadn’t waited long when Ike came 1n a covered wagon driven by another man, We transferred the goods from the boat into the wagon, and then lke called me aside and said: ‘Tom, it won't do for ou to go with us to sell these things.

We drank as though we had met accidentally, and Ike, calling me aside, handed me a $10 bill and said: *‘We got $35 for the stuff and had to give the driver $5of it.'

An Interview With Chinese High Ex- ecutionprs. Pall Mall Gazette: Honce visited Can- ton with some comvanions, and, of course, we did the sights. We visited Pagodas and templéf galore, silk factor- 188, an artificial duck-egg hatching com- pany's premises, jade and ivory shops, cat and dog butcher¥ shops, and the city water-clock, all of ' Which have been “done'’ and descrihgd before, times in- numerable, Duringrour meanderings in the eity our eyes were assailed with the Cathay synonym of the Egyptiau bak- seesh cry, till the caverns of our brains resounded and echoed with it. “Cumshaw Cumshaw!"yelled immature possessors of igtails, and mature possessors echoed rhe sound wherever we went. When the youngters’ requests were not complied with they, r o little, invar nbly changed their cry to “Fanquai!fanquai!” (foreign devil, forel devil). We marched into the magisterial yamun to the accompaniment of the cumshaw tune. Here we were shown the instruments whereby bamboo chow chow is given to the nadal callosities of the wicked, also ratans and short blu ns for slapping the faces of untruthful witnesses, thumb- screws and racks for exacting oonfes- sions (no oriminal can be executed ac- cording to the laws of China until he has confessed his crime), canquis, a species of collar which for largeness and un- comfortabloness even outstrip the , and which are rectangular planes of wood with neck and hand holes. - Thé gloomy, small depos room of these torture implements we thought to be a fair representation of what a European medixval chamber of ‘Bjustice’’ has been, We were next taken in our sedan chairs through an overcrowded busy part of the city to the execution ground, passing on our way the new Roman Catholic cathe- dral, whose gigantic spiacs pierce the clonds. The execution ground we found to be a small enclosed rectangular space, about fifteen yards by fifty. entered by a gate. On the right on entering ran a row of small squalid houses, the habita- tions of potters, whose rough, unbaked work lay abouton the ground, drying in the sun, but we wereinformed thatit was cleared away when an execution was about to take place. Facing the pottens’ houses was a high wall, at whose base, and leaning against it, were some large crocks, all of which had_their mouths carthed over except one. Here our guide introducod us to three poorly-dressed Chinaman whom we noticed gambling at o fan-tan table, near the gate on our ar- rival. One, a big, brutish-looking tellow with u villainous cast in one of his eyes, was the head executioner and the ofl two, who were smallish men, were h assistants, Through our guide we told the head executioners that we wished to see the instruments of his ealling, and thereon he produced a short, very heavy two-handed sword and a long knife. The following conversation was carried on be tween us and this ‘‘boss' through the medium of our guide: “How do you use this sword? Where is the block?" *‘We don't use a block. What we do s to muake the prisoners kneel down in two rows facing onc an- other and bending thoir heads down, Then I take the sword and chop, chop, ono on each side and the heads fall off: 80 on till they’re all done as you'd switch the tops of green weeds with your walk- ing stick."” “But you don't always chnp a head off with one blow?” ‘‘Always.’ “What is the knife for?' *“For the ling eche,or death by many cuts. Wetie the culprit who is condemned to this death to that cross there (pointing to two rough unbarked sticks roughly crossed) and we commence by cutting off the eye- lids, ears, nose and so on, ending by sticking the knife into the heart. The cuts vary in number from eight to 120,ac- cording to the heinousness of the cul- prit's crimes.’’ “‘What class of criminals are condemn- ed to the ling ehe®’ ‘‘Parricides, matri- cides and women who have killed and mutilmcd their husbands for the major- ity. *‘Do the executions interfere with your snrrmo and sleep?"’ The three executioners grinned sar- donically at this question, so we asked: ‘‘How many persons have you executed n a day?” *I have chopped twenty heads off in two minutes. See that dark-looking place on the ;iround over there—that's ululs?d by the blood of the last batch we ad.” “‘What is déne with the bodies?” “The friends take the bodies away, but we kcafia the heads in the crocks over by the wall there, and when we have a large number which are no longer identifiable we bury them. Would you like to see some of the heads?’ We declined, and one of my compan- ions began to grow pale and complain of not feeliug well, so we ordered the guide to lead us away. “Gentlemen, give twenty cents each, cumshaw, to the executioners,” said the nide, which we gladly did to escape rom the staring of the *‘bess’’ butcher’s swivel eye; and so ended our interview with these high executioners of the great Chinese empire. - Death of Rev. Moriarty's Father. P. Barrett, of Barrett & Heafy, went to Lyons yesterday morning to conduct the remains of the father of Rev. F. Mor1- arty of that place to this city, and to superintend their forwarding to the old home of the deceased in Milford, Mass. DYSPEPSIA Causes its victims to be miserable, hopeless, confused, and depressed in mind, very frrita- ble, languid, and drowsy. It is a disease ‘which does not get well of itself. It requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy to throw off the causes and tone up the diges- tive organs till they perform their duties willingly. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has proven Just the required remedy in hundreds of eases, “1 havo taken Hood's Sarsaparilla for dys- pepsia, from which I have suffered two years. 1 tried many other medicines, but none proved s0 satisfactory as Hood's Sarsaparilla.” THOMAS COOK, Brush Electric Light Co, New York City. Sick Headache “For the past two years I have been afilicted with severe headaches and dyspep- sia. I was induced to try Hood's Sarsapa- rilia, and have found great relief. Icheer- fully recommend it to all” Mgs. E F ANNABLE, New Haven, Conn. Mrs. Mary C.
