DECORATION OF THE ROOMS, Last Night's Exercises at Exposition Hall —Reports of the Various Ofcors—The Roception—To- Day's Programme. Man and Morality. Yestorday was the opening day of the state Gonvention of the Y. M.C.A. Wednesday after- noon the delegates commonced to arrive, a delegation from Pawnee county being the Arst to arrive on the scene. R. U. Morse, general secrotary of the In- ternational committee, arrived from Now York yesterday morning, as did Mr. O. C. Morse, of Springfield, Mass., the correspond- ing secretary of the school for christian ‘workers. Delegates from different sections of the state poured in all day and Secre- tary Jenner had little time for anything ®lse thun handsbakings and introductions. The beadquarters of the local Y. M. C. A, has been gaily decorated in honor of the event and the rooms present a bright and at- tractive appearance. A large flag is sus- mded across the stroet and the entrance is lecorated with bunting. At the first land- ing the delegates are grocted with tho hos- pitable legend, *“Welcome.” The entire stairway is decorated with flags of all na- tions representing tho universality of the branches and work of tho Y. M. C. At tho upper landing @ profusion of Japancso lanterns hang suspended in the form of an immense chan. delier. On either side of the doors are shiclds bearing appropriate and unique mottos. Thus, at the entrance to the banquet room wero the words: *“‘What say you to a plece of Beef and Mustard”’ and ‘“‘Feast ‘with Cheese and Welcome to my House." The grand recoption room is profusely @ecorated with flags, while over the entranco 18 the inscription “The Work Goes Bravely On.” Among the decorations are a mam- moth buffalo’s head and four deer heads, just presented to the local association, and which Wwill become permanent attractions in the reception room. The stage of the concert room is simply decorated with the national colors and the universal badge of the Y. M, C. A. Exposition hall underwent an artistic transformation in honor of the delegates ‘who will meet there in convention. On the ‘west wall is a mammoth shield of red, white and blue, above it the universal badge of the association and on either side the eastorn and western hemispheres, with the mottoos, ““Tne Field is the World,” and *'Young Men’s Christian association, a definite aod aggres- sive work for young men.” At intervals there are suspended shiclds on which are emblazoned the nawoe of the oty or colleze represeuted, the following being the list: Fairfield, Grand [sland, Lincoln, Fairbury, Beatrice, Pawneo City, Plattsmouth, Tecum: seh, Kearnoy, Minden, Pawnee county, I're: mont, Table itock, Nebraska City, Missouri Creek, Hastings, llumbmdt Crete, Weeping ‘Water, Red Cloud, Ho]droge York, Fair- mont, Fairfield college, state university,stato normal, Doane college and Hastings college. “I'he opening exercisos of the convention ocommenced at4 o'clock in the concert hall of the Y. M. C. A. building, on Sixteenth and Douglas streets, From 4to 4:30 a_special rayer service was held, with A. Nash as eader. A large number of the delegates were present. enming Session. The delegates were slow to arrive and it was nearly 8 o’clock when the mecting was called to order by Prof. Calvin, of Beatrice, who wvited all to come to the front and sing. “Bassos to the right, tenors to the left. quick!” commanded the gentleman, “Tuncup,” he remarked to the organist, and in response that gentleman began playing. After a few moments matters were ed to everyone's satisfaction and the audience started on *‘Praise Him.” “Sit up straight,” said the prompter. “All ready; one, Lwo, three. all together now, sing!” and ‘Exposition hall rang with harmony. “Faster; all together; bassos faster! Now we will sing No. 17 in Gospel hyuins, *Wo have heard the joyful sound’,” and thus it ‘went for ten minutes, after which Rev. Ezra R. Kerr read from Luke 2. Rev. Dr. Mer- rill offered prayer, after which Mr. C, F. arrison, state secretary, read his report of he work of the past year. The report shows that during the year as- #ociations to the number of eleven have been organized, None have been dropped auring this period. It has been the rule of the executive committee to insist that all towns engage a general secrotary; that a sufficient number of young men be enlisted to keep up mewmbership, and that enough business men be secured to insure the finaucial standing of the association, In all towns of over 5,000 inhabitants, gen- eral secretaries are empioyed, while onc city of only 2,000 has one. - All ussociations are in good working order and have bright pros- pects. - Now rooms have been secured in several leading towns in tue state and are nicely fitted up, Tho necessity of dividing the state into smaller districts was recommended, and the ork of district conferences reviewed. Col- egge work during the year has been confined to strengthening the college associutions without ~uttempting to form any new branches. Nothing hias been done in the way of or- ganizing railroad employes, although o pe- tition from McCook, signed L% 115 railroad men, aud one from Chadron, signed by 155, have been received, asking' thit something be done for them, A start has been made 1 behali of the commercial travelers, aud a good effort is being made in the interest of Young men in the smaller towns. Genierally speaking, Mr. Harrison thought the work of the executive committes would be permanont and of great benefit wo the young men of this state aud other states. r. Harrison also recommended the employ- ment of a state secretary, an assistant and oftice secrotary; that 7,000 be raised in the convention for pushing the work; that the state be divided inw eicven districts; that the railroad men and commercial travelers be given special attention, and that the work m | towns be earnestly pushed. The report was reforred to » committee to e appoiuted this moruing. Oliver C. Morse, corresponding secretary of the school for christian workers, at Sprin fleld, Mass., then spoke regarding the d mand for general secretaries and christian physical instructors, and opportumities for obtainiug suitable preparations for their work. Mr. Morse prefuced his speech prog by complimenting the peopla of the west on their great and glorious country, He then plunged into his subject. The two poiuts of wnterest, sald Mr. Morse, is how they shall be obwined @nd how they shall be fitted for their work. The remarks of Mr. Morse were of a most interesting char- acter and were attentively listened to, ‘The state secretary then announced that thore willbe a rehearsal of all young men ‘who cau read music, at the Congregationnl church at 8:80 this wmorning. He recom- mended that the members subscribe for the Omaha papers to send to their friends who are not present. At the conclusion of the announcements by the secretary the convention adjourned to the Y. M. C. A. rooms, whore @ reception was given the deiegates. The rooms were beaulifully decorated, and a large number of Omahans were present. An uddress of welcome ou behalf of the Bssociation was made by T, H. Taylor, who then introduced Mayor Broateh, who stated that he was glad to welcome to Omaha the delegutes of o body that is not selfish in its Wiews aud one that welcomed all to ity mem- bership. The apathy of tho best elements of society is at fault for the condition of affairs regardiog lawlessuess. “A mowmber Of this association ouce said to_me that he was ushamed of his party. 1 asked bim if he had attended the primary. Me said no, and | suid be was to blame. Some tiwe ugo the clergy asked me to close the saloous, and I did it The editor of a paper pub- lished in & foreign language assertod that if I became a candidate again 1 would be de- foated. I wish to say that with the loense business in the hauds of the police commis- #ion the open saloon on the Lord's day will Rever agaiu be seen in Omaba, no matter Who is elected wayor, 1 do notadvocate the A s St st Y. M. C. A. forming a separate political or. ganization. But Ido assert thut they should stand for morality.” Mr. Gowne, scoretary at Lincoln, then made a fow remarks, after which Rev. H. W. Harsha, on behalf of the clergy, deliv- ered the following: “‘Ladies and Gentiemen: Wellington, In the thick of the battle of Waterioo, ex- claimed: ‘*Would that night or Blucher would come.’ e felt his need of an ally, a8 many another commander has felt it. And Ithink I can understand something of his feelings to-night. 1 can enter into Lis relief s ho saw the dusty ranks of reinforcements stroaming over the hill to his assistance, and knew that the battlo was practically won. Forin you 1 see the reprosentatives of the strong band of young aliles who have recently come to the ‘aid of the ministers, who, for eighteen ceuturies, not all ‘shaven and shorn,’ but all tired and worn, have beld tho battle against the numerous ranksof Satan's forees, I feel that 1 am authorized to extend to you, from my ministerial brethren, somo such welcome as Leonidas rave the ' brave young Grocks who camo to his help at Ther- nopylae, 1 hold out my hand to you and in it is my heart 'Next to the church itself, I look upon the Y. M. C. A. a8 the strongest and most prac- tical ally of tho ministry on earth. Tho Y, M. C. A. 18 our ally 1n teaching the universal brotherbood of man. In spite of a groat many societies and some little poetry on this subject, the world hus not yot got tho iden that ‘the sky is the roof of one fawmily.’ The fact that therc are noar upon 4,000 assooia- tions of christian young men in the several parts of the world, and that they are ail modeled on the same pattern, holdmg the same beliels and working on tho same plans, is a powerful aud striking objoct lesson on the subject of brotherhood. One of your associations in a town is the best noutralizer T know of of bigotry on_the one side and so- cialistic tendencies on tho othor, “The Y. M. C. A. is our ally also in rob- bing rebgion of supposed supernatural ter- rors. Tho average young man has an idea thav christianity is an awful solemn thing. It is a_matter, ho thinks, which shouid be touched very gingorly. He is very much afraid the minister will speak to him about it. When it comes to religion, the young man i8 shyer than the maiden of sixteen summers. Solam plad the Y. M. C. A. is ourally in teachine men that the solomn thivg in our existence.is life, not religion, They alone have the right to be happy and care-free who have attended o the watter of their soul's salvation, and are living out their faith in their every day life. Religion is 4 practical, home-spun, cvery day thing which no one should be afraid of. A by liant Frenchman has said that the church began when the Hrst man looked up to heaven and said: ‘My Father!' And we may say that the offices of the church are continued whenever men repeats that simple, earnest cry. “For these reasons, then, I welcome you as the best allies the church has on earth. \Wel- come to our splendid association building! ‘Welcome to our hearts and homes! Welcome to our churches and missions! Welcome to our beefsteak in exchange for your yellow- logged chickens! As the thousand-souled poet puts it “*A good more, 1 shower a welcome on you; welcome all.’ “And I fully reciprocate what the same writer has caused the fair lips in ‘The Mer- chant of Venice' to say: ** ‘Sirs, you are very welcome to our ho It must appear in other ways than word Therefore, I scant this breathing courtesy. +Or, T would venture to elevate and spir ituahize the lines in *Henry the Eighth,’ say- ing, as from my brethren and my master: 3 lutes you all: This night he dedicates [o fur content, and you; noue here, he hopes, In all this nobly bevy, has brought with him One care abroad: he would have all as merr; As first-good company, good wine, good wel- come Can make good people!! Prof. Ringhng, of Hastings college, then made a few remarks of a very happy nature. A letter of regret from R. C. Widensall, of Chicago, was read by Mr. Morse, of New York city. Mr. Windensall is an old Omaha man, who began his term of servico m the Y.M.C. A. in this city just twenty-ono years ago. He is at present under treatment for his health and can not travel. A tele- gram was read a moment afterward stating that a decided change for the better had taken place, The coavention, led by Mr. Joplin, offered prayer for the absent one. Announcements were then made by Secre- sh, after which the del jon ad- ned to'the lecture room, where an cle- gant lunch was served. The programme for to-da MORNING. pecial prayer service, W.

Woolworth, at the copal convention in New Yovk, to have the diocese of Nobraska divided, have been crowned with success, and horeafter there will be two dioceses in this state. Mr. Wool- worth found considerable opposition in the convention, but through the forco of his logie, backed by the complaint of Bishop Worthington that the diocese was spread over too much territory to be properly tended to, the point was carried. Thyg eastern portion of the divided terri- tory will be known as the diocese of eastern ebraska and of Omaba, and Mr. Worth- ington will be its bishop, Tho western portion has not yet been named, but wiil probably be termed " the dio coso of the Platte, aud Rev. Anson R. Graves, of Minneapolis, will as i bistop. Kearney will be his place of res deuce. The eastorn diocase will huve about eight nundred thousand people, and the western 600,000, he new diocese, which Isa missionary jurisdiction, will include that part of the stato lying west of Kuox, Antelope, Boone, Nance, Morrick, Hamilton, Clay and Nuck olls counties. Rov. Auson R. Graves, the new bishop, is s man of about forty, and is married. At the time of his appointment he was rector of Gethsemeno church, of Minneapolis, When he was a young man he was at ono time as- sistant in’ that parish to Rector Knicke bocker, at preseat bishop of Indiavs. He loft this position to become rector of North- fleld church. He subsequently was called east, and filled one or two lucrative posi- tions for a long term of years, and flnally was called west ain to become rector of the church in which years before he had boen ussistant, agton s sald to be pleasod Two Bishop Worth both with the division of thediocese and the appolutment of the new bishop. Herculean Strength Continually on the strain, or overtaxed at in- tervals, is far less desicable than ordinary vigor perpetuated by rational diet and exer- cise, and absteution from excess. Profes- sional pugilists wud ntblotes rarely attain ox- treme old age. As ordinary vigor may be retained by & wise regara for si nitary living and for the y udi ection against disease, which timely and ious medication affords, so also it may bo lost through long sedentary labor, unnterrupted wental strain, and fool- ish eating and drinking, tho cbief and most immediate sequeace of ull four being dyspep- sia.

This afternoon Sheriff Melick and Deteo- tive Phineo cffected a very olever capture of three young men who have been engaged 1 pilforing from B. & M. box cars and other places about the city. Something Lilse a yoar ago some boys dug vo in the vicinity of Ninoteenth and Harwood streets, in an orchard. These three young man appropriated it as a hiding place for stolon goods. Suspecting that some place of concenlmont existed in that rs stationed thomseives in a barn near by and awaited dovelopments. Soon aftorwards they noticod three young mon walking south on Nineteontii who dis- appeared very suddenly. Inan instant the officers were av the mouth of the cave, and foreing in the door they captured the follows. The cave was about seven or eight fect in size and five or six feot deop. In ono corner was a pilo of 108 boxes of cigars that were stolen from a freight car last night. Other thinga of value were also found. Ther names are not known. Lisgality of the Pastsr. In rospcnss to numerous inquiris con corning the use of a ‘‘paster” on_election tickets, Attorney General Loose has just given out the following opinion. It is ad- dressed to the sceretary of the repablican state contral committee: My Dear Sik: Your commuuication of the 20th st is at hand, asking oy opinion 48 10 the legality of a ticket headed “*Repub- tican Ticket,” with tho names of another thereon, not found on the regular ballot hav- ing such heading. In answer theroto T would state that under the provisions of sectiou 115, chapter %, ¢ titled “Elcctions,” all such schemes to de. ceivo the elector are declared to be fraudu- lent. Seetion 116, of said chapter, makes it a crininal offense for any Persons caisin lots to be printed, with a desiznated | coutaini A name or naes not found on the regular ballot not having sucu heading, or for any person to kuowiagiy peddle or dis- tribute any such batlot.

With this rule in view, there can be no doubt but what the intention of the w maliers was to avoid &uy deception that W be practiced on the elector: ana | would deem it the duty of the canvassing bhoard to refuse to count the vote fo whose name is “‘printed” or “paste upon the ticket, unless the name of that per- son is found upon the batlot g such heading, The ticket sent me for mspoction 15 headed presidential ele head of “electors.” Now on such ballot, to print the words - *Demacratic candidite for governor,” or, Prohibition candidate for governor ““Union labor candidate for governor, or any other, name not fo party of such h Mlegal vote for or shoh othcr. offier. Tho heading is words “democrati “prombition’ “Sunion labor” candidate for governor printed on the ticket, is a designation of the oficer to be voted for. A name found thereon, other than the found on the rogular batlot, is but o ¢ device to mistead und contrary t The only method by whieh such name can be legally counted is for the elector to erase the namo found thereon, and write in the place thereof the nawe. of the persou the elector wishes to' vote for. Any other method is, 1n my opinion, illegal. Yours very truly, WiLLias Ly Auorney Gen New Notaries Public. v to-day made the N. F. MW publican The or ticket. follow Chittic Eaton, M D.
