THE OMAHA DAILY THE CURSE AND THE CURE. The Rev., Oharles M. Savidge Obampions the Probibition Cause, HIS VIEWS OF THE SALOON. The Ballot Box the Weapon With Which to Overcome the Evil ~Total Extermination of the Traflic Advocated. Dr. Savadge’s Sermon, ‘The Rev. Charles M. Savadge preached yesterday on the subject of “Our City's Curse and its Cure.” There was a large attendance of interested people, and the sermon was listened to with great inter- est. The subject is a continuation of the practicle subj which the reverend gentleman has been delivering for the Inst few w Following is the sermon: Proverbs, xxiii.—31and 3 “Look not thou upon the wine wien it is red, when it iveth his color in the cup, when it moveth tself aright. At the last it serpent and stingeth like an addi 1 take as my subjeet to-night Curse and its Cu 1 preach this sermon by request to “The Metropolitan Prohibition Club.” You numn- ber one hundred strotg. You represe different lines of professional busin mechanical life, am told that you are men of ideas, of pluck and of push. As look into your faces I see the young man with everything before bim. “T see the strong in his prime with both hands old of the world’s work. | see the old man with gray hair, but with fire in his soul. 1f anyone should ask me who you are [ would point to you and say *“Thesé men are the sworn eneniles of rum.” Iam told that Hanibal, the great general, had only one passion—hatred to Rome, and all the glowing enthusiasm of his soul, all the freat virtues of his character, all the wonderful fertility of his mind were concentrated in this hatred. You are growing this hatred for rum, When we consider the present make-up of soclety it is very natural that you should be called radicals and fanatics, and you are called by these names, But as I look up your history I do not wonder that you are radical, Some of you have suffered In’a business way* from strong drink. Others of your number have been slaves to the appetite, and still others of your body have seen those under “s |l)'owvr who were as dear to you as life selt. You have a purnose in your organization. It is refreshing to see a man or body of men with an object—an object worthy of them- selves. Itis your conviction that the rum traflic should " go. That the drink custom shouly not vr regulated but annihiated— wiped fiom the fice of God's earth. You believe that the drink custom 18 a mad dog which has bitten many, and now, in our city, there are literally hundreds of these raging curs foaming at the mouth and hiding at y cornerready to spring out upon the passer by, Though the ofticers and license board of the city “We will give you 81,000 fow the education of your children, for everyone of these mad dogs you permit in the city” you raise your voice to a scream of terror and shout, “*Away with this wholesale murder in our streets!” "You be- lieve the proper place to curtail a bad busi- ness is just back of its ears. Your purpose is not only to hold this belief but to advocate it Yousay, *The truth we have found is worthy the telling.’”* Aaln you propose the ballot as the small but mighty missile azainst the rum trattic. You believe that the “‘balloy box” Is ““I'he ark of the covenant” for the American citizen, You believe that these little pieces of white paver, dropped by ciean and honest hands are more potent than the prayers of saints or the lmmr of armies, The ‘“Kingliest act of freedom fs the freeman’s vote.” When Napoleon moved soutiward on his noted but disastrous march trom Moscow, a cended through the cold Alone, if @ bent the Ylllllm that quivered on the soldier’s helmet. But lo! a second snowflake comes as noise- lessly as tl\odurih then a “"du,. a (()lul:lh‘ until emperor and comyon sqldiery allke kpe mnrtflelr ate wa seafl%‘. ?o these THtilo white ballots will vet strike terror to the hearts of the lovers of rum; for thousauds of men in this country have made up their minds that they will vote as they pray, And you aim also to unify and crystallize the temperance working force. You know well that all over this land are thousands of true men who believe with you, and you say to them: “*Come, join our ranks.” *United we stand, divided we fall.” You would take every stroug arm in this eity and teach it to light the worst enewy the race ever had. 1 am free tosay I like rou, 1 like your principle, I take you by the band and call You brothers. There are certainly some Jrechers who are afraid to speak out, to-day. Because if they speak out on this question they will lose their hea that Robert Ingersoll says of t that ‘*he is an owl slmny:maa d tree, hoot- atalost world.” But I say a harder thing when I say there Is many ‘a preacher to-day in the pulpit who dares not speak his thought on the drink custom. But God d like a pluck preacher and men like such & one t0o, A Methodlst preacher has no excuse it he does not speak out. You see if it gets too hot for him in one place and somebody does notshoot him the Methodist machine picks lim up and places him somewhere else. hope more preachers will do as Peter Cart- wright did when he was preaching on pro- fanity and Andrew Jackson came into the church. Some man in the oulpit said softly, *Don’t bear down too heavy on the swearers, Old Hickory Is in the congrezation and some times he is profane,” ~ “Well,” d Peter Cartwright, Andrew Jackson will go 1o hell like any common sinner if he don't stop swearing.” Old llic]mr‘ said at the close of the sermon, “I wish 1had a regi- ment of soldiers as brave as that preacher.” 1 will tell you why 1 endorse you and why I shall prav for you: You are making war against the meanest business on earth. This text says the drink custom is a serpent that bites and an adder that stings. We believe that this custom is the fruitful mother of impurity and crime, 1t murders the peace and industry of the coun- try, and converts happy, industrious homes into hovels of poverty and misery, On ac- count of drink, anxious wives and mothers watch and pray in tears, and with desolate hearts wutch for the home coming of lostand drunken loved ones. The most eloquent ora- tor America has ever produced says: *From the time the liquor issues from the coled and poisonous worm in the distillery until it empties into the hell of a dishonor aud crime, it dewmoralize body that touches it. Intemper down vouth in its vigor, manl strength and old age in 1ts weak fames benevolence, hates love, scor and slanders innocence, It is the sum ot all villalnies, the father of all crime, the mother of abominations, the devil’s best friend and God’s worst enemy.” These are the words of a man outside of the ehurch and all men k hey are true. Surely you ougnt to he ‘bencdiction of all, tor you oppose the curse of the natlon common foe of man. sdrink custom is the blight and curse of our city and if you could, you would wipe ftout. We have about 200 saloons in Omaha ‘This town is the very hot bed of whisky. ‘There is only one decent saloon and that is the Temperance saloon, presided over b; . Erdman, on Sixteenth and Dodge streets, He is the oldest saloon keeper in Omaha, He spent $7,000 in the business but was never happy until he quit the fearful traflic. N he only sells temperance drinks; he deals 1n nothing that will intoxicate. Wa have the so-called “first-class” saloons in our city; you will ind them on Douglas and Farnant streets. What a mirror that is d the bartenter; what handsome pie- ot landscape and animal life adorn the Gverything that taste ean de money can buy Is usedtoattract the mav are the dangero ere sin puts on her dress of be ~See low the places nks as long as he has plenty nd before he gets too much bl and besot!

And the tired waiter, long after midnight, sinks down on his'cot to sleep, only to be awakened at lm-:&l wmorning, when thedrinking begins again, We have saloons the working- man, for the sun browned tollers, for the men of the miadle class, and here let me say these are the most valuable men in the city, God loves the men whose fuces are kissed with the sunshine and whose clothes are soiled with brick dust and mor- tar. 1 only pray that they mav be honest and sober and pure. But look what snares are set for their feet! In these saloons you will see the tables for billiards and eards. Here is a musical instrument which cost the owner $2,000. ‘The pictures are not fine, but they impress the men who see them, ‘The low down saloon 1s often asingle small room. It is full of men and the men are full. Kverybody talks loud and would give all his old clothes to get intoa fight. Every kind of evil is born here. There is one of these saloons in our eity that take finishes him on the grounds. e to give him a diploma in vice and to punish him in addition. 1t1s one of the best arranged places in the city in its line. Tho man is first taken into the saloon and made beastly drunk, then he is shown upstairs into the gambling hell where he is robbed, and then the officer throws the poor wreteh into the fail which is situated in” the rear of the establishment. I have always thought that house was well mana The effects of dram drinking brand the custoin as our city’s curse, I know aman who gets dead drunk.

The other day 1 met a friend on the street, he was hungry and was clothed in rags, and he had not slept in & bed for many nights, and he had the look of despair on his face. 1 asked him what had brought him to such a state of wretcnedness He replied: *“The drink.” Brethren, I can’t tell_you all I know—you would stop your ears and tell me to be silent. But God knows this drink 18 our city’s curse. Again, 1 endorse you with all my heart be- cause you are the advocates of the great umed{. You believe in the enforcement of law. No man or set of men would be more rejoiced to see the present laws rigidly en- forced than yoursel: But you say,” “We have in mind and heart a inore thorough remedy.” ‘Talk about regulating the saloon business, when the drinker has lost his will the seller Las lost his consclence. You might as well try to regulate a volcano belching out the stream of red-hot death upon your home, You might as well try to regulate the regions ;)( the damned as to regulate the arink cus- om. Your remedy 18 the one God sanctions. God says: “Don’t look at it, don’t touch it— it is an adder that will sting you to death.” Your rewedy has worked praotically and will do so. The prohibition sentiment is growing all over our land, ~ Prohibition has already wrought wonders. Dafly 1t Is con- winning hosts of from _ Maine and and JTowa, testity u fizures and _ scores stubbor, facts, that prohibition does prohibit. ‘I'ake the city of Atlanta for an example. This i3 a city of 60,000 people. Prohibition proposed mighty changes. Over Y00 business houses were to be closed; 500 men were to be forced to eive up a chosen employment, The city treasury was to be left with $40,000 less revenue. ‘I'rade, amounting anuually to millions, was to be turned away from mm:{. Many large busi- ness houses were to be left unrented. The most spirited and deterimined opposition was brought to bear against the mn)'leulinl- A reliable wxlu:{ says: ‘It 15 twelve months since thé law went effect and look at the results: Prohibition in this city does prohibit. ‘The city has not been injured financially, Ac- cording to the assessor’s books property in the city has increased in value over two millions, Taxes have not increased. Five new banks have been added, Four new railroads have come to us, and manufactur- ing establismonts have received new life, Store rooms in which the liquor traflic was conducted are not vacant but are now occu- vled by other lines of trade. Working men, who formerly spent a gre: part of their earnins for liquor, now spend it In food and clothes for their families. More people ride on the street cars, More children go to the public schools. More people attend clmxrc)l, n’ndlhum is very little dringing in the city, These are the words of the Atlanta Weekly Constitution, a paper that once op- posed prohibition. ‘The vrinciples you advocate are right and they are practical. Go on and mal no apologies to men, In conclusion [ would say: See to it that good men all overour eity are invited and urged to join you in your glorious work. May “the little one become a thousand,” is my prayer. Do all you can for the enforcement of the resent laws. Fight the devil at short range, ut HMY the abolition of the traMc ever in view. Remember that victory will crown Right forever on the scaffold, rong forever on the throne, HBut the scaffold sways the future, And behind the dark unknown, Standeth God amid the shadows Keeping watch above His own, ‘The papers are coming over on your side. The Volce in New York has a million aol- lars at its back, and this is ,’our paper. ‘The highest dignitaries of the church say: “'God bless the prohibition movement.” The church that in the days of the rebellion sent the most nurses to the hospital and the most soldlers to the tield is praying for you. Don’t forget that the better dayis coming. Already you can see the red light of the morning.

Among the speakers is listed the Hon, Johu M Thurston, A pleasant and interesting meeting was held at Jefferson park last_evening, the Ruv. A. W. Lamar, of the First Bap- tist chureh vresiding over the services. A large audience gathered, Mr. Lamar took for his subject, “Procrastination,’ and spoke 10 his usual forcible, poin and telling manner. The meeting unmolested by any notse or disturbance, and the quict, digmified and truly rever- ent manner in which the services were conducted was so strongly in contrast with the mectings of the Salvation Army usually held on the same spot, asto cause almost the universal comment of all who livein, or frequent that vicinity, After the services the young people of the church held their usual meeting 1o the Sundsy School room of the church, £4 McGerr, of Loup City, and Ed ‘apbell, of Grand Island, spent Sun- duy at the Merchants’ bhotel, A DAY OF SPORT. The Picnic and Athletic Sports of the J. M. Thurston Hose Company. The picnic at Hascall's park yesterday afternoon under the auspices of the J. M. Thurston hose company was a com- vlete success. A large crowd, numbering several hundred, greeted the ‘“champions of the world" and thorougnly enjoyed the ex- cellent sport provided for their enter- tainment. The first event upon the programme was the 100 yards amateur race for a gold medal given by the turners city, and after a struggle was won by E. 8. "Washburn by three inches, J. J. Gromme second and J. 8. Mitchell third by nl)'xmi. Time 10§, which was excel- lent for amateurs. Groome led by six inches till ten yards of the finish when Washburn by almost superhuman efforts succeeded in wresting the lead from him and won oue of the most exciting ama- teur contests ever held in this ity by a bare scratch. Mitchell ran a game race and made the two lead- ers excrt themselves to their utmost to defeat him, Next came the fifty yards vrofessional handieap, the first heat of which brought out Leon Lozier, C. F. Anderson scratch and Fred Cunningham 4 yards. After a contest Lozier won, with Cunningham second and Anderson third. In the second heat Ed Campbell, ateh, defeated W. J. Fletcher, 2 yards t, with ease by 2 yards. The final heat brought together Leon Lozier and Ea Campbell, both scratch. After several false starts the men got away well together and after displaying some of the prettiest and speediest Tun: ning ever witnessed in thiscity Campbell won by ayard in b6} seconds. Lozier also disr]nyed good speed and won manv friends by his powers. Will Bryan was on the grounds, but for some unknown reasons did not compete much to the chagrin of his many friends and detriment of his reputation” in this chS, . P. Baldwin won the sixteen pound shot contest by a put of twenty-nine feet eight inches, with Ed. O'Connor, twenty- seven feet, second. ‘The other com- En-limn were H. Kummerou, Sohn Turn- ull, Will Webb, Jim Flynn, L Dale, John Hicky and Ed. Coster. D. Prescott won the running high jump with five feet four inches to his credit, with Ed. Campbell second. The other competitors were John Nicholas, Ed. O’Connor, D. P. Baldwin, Fred Cun- mngham, W. J. Fletcher and Leon Lozier. For the long jump were entered Leon Lozier, Ed. Campbell, D. P. Baldwin, Ed. O’Connor and C. F. Anderson. Camp- bell had an easy victory, his best jump measuring eighteen feet, eight inches, with O’Connor second. The 120 yards amateur hurdle race proved one of the most interesting events of the day. The j was a gold medal given by the Turner society, and the first heat was wonm by E. S, Washburn defeating Gromme two inches after a ‘‘neck-and-neck” contest the entire distance. In the second trial heat C. F. Gromme had an easy victory ovv‘li Otto Niedernieser, winning bp three yards, : In the final heat Washburn lgot two yards the best of the start, and although Gromme ran a very nice race he was de- feated a yard by Washburn, which proved his second victory for the hay. The Thurstons will leave Saturday for Leadville. AMUSEMENTS, A Very Pleasant Evening With the German Company at Metz's, The present season at Metz’s garden, on Tenth street near Harney, promises to be the most successful ever experi- enced in that popular resort. It haslong been a favorite resort for Germans, and judging from present indications there is little reason to believe that the peculiarly attractive features have failed of appreci- ation on the part of hundreds of our Ger- man citizens who have patronized the place for years, Last night the place was particularly | well patronized. The trees were rich m_ foliage and a moderate breeze so tempered the atmosphere as to enable the average auditor to enjoy the stage performance with more than usual interest. The programme comprised two picces, “Bis der Rechte Kommt,” and “‘Er ist Nicht Eifersuchtig.” In the tirst of these, Messrs. Puls, Koch, Caureis and Mrs. Baureis, took part. It was a highly interesting piece, the lead- ing character being assumed by Mr. Buureis. This gentleman most enter- taingly delineated the death throes of a Lothario who, while under the 1mpres- sion that he has taken poison to ease himsely of the burden of life which elects no longer to bear, subsequently learns that he has been dosing himself only with sugar, The act had a most pronounced effect upon the audience and was warmly onlauuud. The concluding piece of the pro- ramme introduced Mr. Kock, Mr. Ulig, rs. Puls-Ahl and Mrs, Baureis in the very amusing sketch “Bis du Rechte Kommt,” Mr. Kock sustained the prin- cipal role. It was that of a young mun who, after having been a harem-scarem soldier for eight vears, returns to a home which, 1in the denouement, becomes his by inheritance. This gentleman has not often essayed light comcay characters here, but his Peter Lenzof 1ast night may be enumerated among the most success- ful pieces of acting which he Las done this season. He was admirably sustained by Mrs. Baureis and Puls-Ahl and Mr. Ulig. nging of Mrs. Puls-Ahl was unusually fine and that of Mr. Ulig was appreciated. e HIT THE WRONG MAN. An Enraged Base Ball Enthusiast Vents His Anger Discreetly, John C. Farrish, famiharly known as “'Spud,’’ a truckman of the hook and lad- der company, is a great lover of the na- tional game and has most decided views in regard to it. Yesterday found him at the base ball park witnessing his favorite sport. Awmong the spectators was a brawny stonecutter who might pose fora Hercules. He, too, had most decided views in regard to the game, and partie- ularly to the one in progress, and was not backward in candidly expressing them, The playing of Krehmeyer, the catcher, happened to meet with his dis- pleasure and he remarked contemptuous- 1y that “‘Krehmeyer couldn’t cateh a ba- [oon.™_This remark, unfortunately, was radically at variance with the views of Farrish on that subject and he turned wrathfully around doubled up his fists and glared angrily at the speaker. But hetook in the full pro- portiony of the young Sampson, and he suddenly turneé pale, softened 1n ex- pression and directed his attention to a little weazen-faced fellow near the speaker. “What's that you say, sir,” says Far- rish fiercely, shaking his fists "in the astonished Little fellow’s face. ‘‘What's that vou say? What do you know about baseball anyway? What wonld you ecall A foul strike? At this juncture ng the Lilliputian over head, Of the serimmage followed tlie reports are conflicting, but the ultercation created great excitement.

Vandervort were driving on Davenport between Sixteenth and Seven- teenth, they fell into a dispute as to who should drive, Vandervort being too drunk even to steer the horses properly. Mrs. Vandervort sccured the rems, but her husband snatched them from her, and, seizing the whip, commenced beat- ing her over the head with the butt of it in & most merciless manner. Oflicer Lang witnessed the fracas, and inter- fered in time to save the woman from being brained by the furious husband, He was immediately arrested and locked up. . Married at the Synagogue.
