8 ANTI-CHURCH Rome of Them Which Seem to Prevail with Young Women, INFLUENCES DR. PATTERSON'S SERIES OF SERMONS of the Sunday Thinks nday er Belioves Existe: ater Is & Burning Sham Pews Should Be Free-—8 Soctal Engagements, At the Presbyterian church last evening the to the reasons asslgned for nonattendance at church were brought These services have proved exceedingly satisfactory and have enlisted much interest, the church being filled its utmost capacity evening Mr. Patterson took for his text the pra of the psalmist, “That our sons may be as plants grown up in thelr youth; that our daughters may be as cornerstor after the similitude of a palac “It 18 sometimes & matier of wonder that ministers speak more frequently and freely of young men than of young women," Mr. Patterson sald. “One reason s that the pulpit shares the common bellef that young ar to temptation and more plible to temptation 1g women. There is also another rea There prevalls in the world a faise which demands that whenever a speaks of woman in public he shall only the language of compliment and adoration. Otherwise, the speaker is con sldered destitute of chivalry Most prefer silence to unfriendly judgment sharp criticism, but In my judgment it is the ministry to bring into the flattering compliments of the drawing room, and, therefore, 1 take the privilege of plain speech. Some young women do not attend church be they are unable to rent pews. ob- jection will not hold good where there are a consid number of unrented pews. Most that rent pews reserve a number of pews in the best portion of the house for the ac- commodation of strangers. Churches whose seating capacity 18 not in excess of the membership will find this constantly com- promised by the system of pew renting. A stranger in a church is in the nature of a guest In one’s home and is entitled to the best accommodation the church has. It must not be forgotten that it requires money to support churches, neither should {t be assumed that churches will go into bank- ruptcy If they abolish pew rentals. The large majority of Christian people will give as much for the support of the gospel in a church where the seatings are free, and many will give more than they will pay for the rental of pews. This is becoming a vital question in the city churches today, and 1 have yet to learn of a single instance wherein the system of free pews has been tried that it has not proved a financial suc- cess. Families should be assigned regular places to sit; reasons for this are obvious, but every seat in every church, according (o the spirit of the new testament, should be open to any worshipper who seeks com- munion with God in His house. “‘Some young women do not attend church because they have formed false ideals of life and character. Woman's column in the newspapers and magazines has done much to this end. It is sald that the sculptor, Hart, made a statue in which he has made woman triumphant. The ladies of his na- tive state, Kentucky, have bought it, and it adorns the city hail at Lexington. Of it Frances Willard says: It shows a perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command, A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food And yet a spirit pure and bright, With something of an angel's light. “But_where can such real and living fdeal of woman be found? Certainly not in the magazines. They are only caterers. No wonder they present false ideals. As Moses bullded the fabernacle according to the pattern showed him in the mount, so every man and woman is to folw as a pattern the character rovealed in Christ. SUNDAY THEATERS. “The theaters prevent some young women from attending church. I do not desire to enter upon any discussion as to the merits or demerits of the theater, but I submit that there is no reasonable defense of the Sunday theater, and I wish to raise my voice against the Sunday theater in this city. For one I consider it a buwrning dig- grace. 1 am glad to know that ¢he man- ager of the leading theater of the city would be glad to close his place of, arausement on Sunday. I am glad to know that respect- able actors almost withouc exception op- pose Sunday shows, and I appeal to the theater goers of this city who regard the Lord's ddy to stand in favor of no Sunday shows, ¥or one I do not see how a re- spectable Christian can support a play house thai runs on Sunday. “But I hear some one say Chicago has Sunday theaters. That may be a good rea- son why we should not have them. We do not want Chicago's shame; neither do we want her sins. Chicago hud her Haymarket Is that any reason why we should have one? Chicago had her Prendergast. Is that any reason why we should have one? Yet the very influences that brought about these con- ditions In Chicago are at work here, and Who shall say that we will not suffer another riot, a crime harvest? But another says the Sunday theater keeps people from worse places, and keeps them from better ones, too. Constituted as man is, it Is very easy for the good to supplant the better and the better to supplant the best. I submit it the Sunday theaters are run as missionary enterprises why not offer seats free and £O out into the highways and hedges and sa- loons and gambling hells and house of pros- titution and compel them.to come in? The truth s the Sunday theater s not atter men and women. The mission of the Sunday theater is not to heal the sores of Lazarus, but to increase the store of Dives; it is not run In the interest of the laboring man, but in the Interest of his hard-carned cash, And I appeal to the fathers and mothers of this city as they love thelr own boys and girls, by the thundering law of Sinal, by the pleading sacrifice on Calvary, by tho prom- ised land of Pisgah, I appeal to you to abol- ish this shame, SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS, “Some young womet 1o not go to chureh because of soclal engagements on Sunday evening. Why not invite the young gentle- man friend to the house of God? 1t you do not care to be seen with him in church yon should be ashamed to spend an evening with him in your parlor. If he does not respect your religious convictions, neither should you respect him. It will not take a Christian young woman long to declde between the house of God and a social hour with an fire- liglous young man. I am a great believer in the power that young women might exer- ciso over young men. 1 believe it is within the power of young women to do more for the moral reformation of young men than they dream of. If young women would re- fuse to assoclate with young men who divide thelr time between places of low amusement and their lady friends, then the young men would begin to realize that there was some- thing serlous in their behavior and would sot about to mend their ways. So long as falr and faultless women smile on corrupt and impure men the men will continue to corrupt themselves. Shakespeare pald a high compliment w's influence when he waid: ‘The ca of every play Is caused always by the or fault of a man, and the redemption, 1f there be any, is by the wisdom and virtue of a woman.' From the time that Eve gave Adam the for- bidden fruit man has followed woman's lead for good or fll. Occasionally we find a Joseph with his power to assist a temptress, @ Job that will not curse God though com- manded to do so by his wife, but the rule s that though a woman becoin Delilah, a r a Herodias, there will be plenty of will_commit their strength, their kingdom and their conscience to the keeping of such women. Many 4 young woman Wwho today I8 a mere creature of circum- stances, carried along by her emvironment, niay some day be coustrained to cry out of the bitter memory of lost opportunities, ‘Oh, Mhut @ glorious record by the angels kept of First discussions as to a conclusion to each polished men more exposed are yo Kon. than gallantry, man men and unworthy pulpit the ause This churches rable in churches me had I done instead of doubted,. had worked instead of wept.'

Had Gilbert's “Pygmalion never been written probability, never laughs with you, and Galatea™ would, in all seen a nineteenth century drawing room, much looked upon the men and women of through eyes that at least are 3 ars old. It was a most clever concelt to bring back the wife of the king of Thebes, who was changed into stone by the gods long before the Homerle periods, and place her as gove erness over a modern household, which is the “irritating cause’’ of all the complica- tions th ise in the life of Peter Amos Dunn, the life insurance agent Niobe, the famous mother losses, whose readiness to s0rrows on every occasion has been exploited in literature, fs very discpeotly Marguerite Fealy, a newcomer to the coms edy stage, but a veteran in melodramatic worl, Her performance was characterized by tact and spirit, the young lady catch- ing and uttering the humorous feelings of the part admirably, while her touches of the ancient Greek ciy ion in occasional pose and gesture quite won the favor of yesterday's audiences, which, notwithstand- ing the storm that raged, were lar dignity and gentleness of Niobe we ingly contrasted, the estimate of those who had seen Miss Isabe ‘oe in the part being sympathetically inclined to Miss Fealy's well rounded interpretation. Peter Amos Dunn is in hands, although one wishe at Mr. Anderson were just that the contrast between Niobe nd this nineteenth maker might be more pr derson has the comedy well de veloped, but he lacks the repose the role seems fo require and he plays it with just a bit too much patter.

Mr.” Short played a conventional young lover's part very creditably, which showed hifn more than a one part actor. Miss Daisy Mayer makes much of the ingenue part, Hattie Grifin. She fs bright and vivacious and helps the comedy along considerably. The vinegary old malid, the woman with a past which she tries to conceal, is played by Lillian Dix with considerable merit, if the expressions heard throughout the audience as to her acidity are any criterlon of success. The rest of the company is entirely acceptable, the curtain calls showing the pleasure the audience obtained from the comedy. S s b TIRED OF BRASS BUTTONS.

From persons such as this the hackmen have no protection and frequently suffer much, The law requires that charges be collected in advance, but this is impracticable because such demands would often give offense. And not infrequently persons of this charac- ter have spent all their money when they come to settle for the hack and the driver must go without his pay. He believes that an ordinance should be passed making it a misdemeanor not to be able to scttle a hack blll aiter service has been rendered, and then drivers would be protected and not fall so often Into trouble through no fault of their own, -~ Little pllls for great ills: Dewitt's Little Barly Risers, T Texns Wants You, The gulf coast of Texas is a charming re- sort for invalids who don't like zero weather, Big attractions also for home scckers; 20 acres of land planted in pears net the owner $6,000.00 each year aftor orchard Is estab- lished.

Since the first of the year City Engineer Rosewater has had part of his force engaged n making an fnspection of the sewer system of the city, and some of the discoveries made are of a nature to interest the average In- divid as well as to attract the attention of the sclentist. The inspections are made by men clad in rubber suits passing through with lights and noting the changes that’ have been made since the bullding of the sewers. Inasmucheas some of the sewers are large enough to admit the pa sage of a man on horseback for miles, and others are four or five feet in diameter, this work is not as difficult as it might seem at first thought. The principal object of the inspection was to ascertain how badly the walls and bed of the sewers were becoming worn and to note such effects as would be of value in further extensions of the sewer system of the city or in repairing or rebuild- ing any of that portion already laid. In the office of the city engineer may now be scen some of the curiosities that have been brought to the light of day by the men making the Inspection. Among them are pleces of a calcareous formation that was noticed in the sewers in the vicinity of Seventeenth street and St. Mary's avenue, were formed on the stalagmite and ctite plan from a fluid that percolated pugh the walls of the sewer and dripped or ran down the walls of the sewer, the formation being undoubtedly promoted by chemieals in the sewage and the s that peculiar to such places. Among the other products of the darkness, m moisture and foul air of the sewers are mushrooms of the most varied and fan- tastic forms, a tendency to a globular forma- - tion being especially noticeable, some of the specimens appearing in the form of a cluster, bearing a striking resemblance to a bunch of grapes. Snow white ferns of rare beauty have been brought from their birthplace in the noxious atmosphere of the sewers, only to whither and decay because no arrange- ments had been made for their preservation in alcohol. It is evident that their growth has occurred within the past six minths, or since the last heavy flow of water, or they would have been torn from their fastenings and washed away. One of the discoverics of the inspectors has tended to upset the theory that many engincers have held up to this time, and that is that the heaviest wear at a bend in a sewer has been at the outside of the curve. The observations of the inspectors show that the wear is at the inside of the curve,“and this is explained by the enginecer on the theory that while the centrifugal throws the water to the outer or farther side in passing around the curve, the sediment’ and ingredients carried along by the water, being heavier than the water itself, are not o thrown out, but rub along at the bottom near the inner side, and to their grinding is due the wear that has been noticed. It has been found that the wear in some places amounts to several inches, and it will soon be necessary to make re- pairs by relaying the.inner course of brick in the lower part of some of the sewers, particularly those where the fall is heavy and the flow of the sewage unusually rapid, as it is. the constant flow that does the damage and not the wild rush of water dur- ing the brief period of a heavy rainfall. s { FOUR AND A HALF ACIECE.

The bill propose to amend section 4,834 of the revised statutes, under which the board of managers have had full control ot the national homes for nearly thirty years, 50 that the members of the board shall be required to make an annual report to the secretary of war, and repealing “all laws or parts of laws that require the board to audit and examine or authenticate the ac- counts of the treasurer and visit the homes quarterly.” The discovery of the proposed change has created o sensation in Grand Army circles, Veterans generally are opposed to it. et e Madison Square Bank Frauds.

Annual Stockholders Meeting of the Omaha Association The eloventh annual meeting of the stock- holders of the Omaha Loan and Building as- soclation held Wednesday evening at the of the association, 1704 Farnam Bee bullding. The at- tendance greater than at previous meeting of the association, the number of the shares voted was double that of last year. The election of three dircctors occupled considerable time, being conducted by five judges and clerks. About 1,200 votes were cast. The election resulted In the cholce of Messrs, Thomas J. . A. Parmalee and C. W. Pat- was offico straot, was any and Fitzmorris, terson. Pending the count of the votes a meeting of the stockholders was held in an adjoining room. The reports of President G. W. Loomis and Secretary Nattinger, which were read, explained in detail the business of the association for 189 showing an encouraging increase of business. It is exceeding grati- fying,” said President Loomls, “that we are not only able to show a net profit on the business of last year of 8 per cent. As you are all well aware, we have passed through the worst period of financlal disaster and business depression ever known, and while commercial houses, banks and other kindred institutions have gone to the wall, the loc loan and building associations have with- stood the strain and have been able to pr tect the savings of their members. This is the record of the “Omaha,” and while we have not increased our membership to the full extent desired, we have certainly done well considering the times and the condi- tlons. We issued a large amount of new stock during the year, and were it not for the fact that some of our members we obliged during the hard times to withdraw, our showing would be unparalleled in the history of loan and,building associations in this state. Some of those who withdrew were depositors in banks, which suspended or tied up their deposits indefinitely, and others were obliged, on account of tho de- crease of incomes, to make use of the mone; saved with us, This, of course, has re- duced the working capital of the association fo some extent, but the new shares sub- scribed have offset this loss, and we are now- justified in looking forward to a large increase in business.” The beneficial effect of the change from the serial to the Dayton plan, the president pointed out, was to be seen in the increased demand for loans on gilt edge security. Ap- plications for loans now on file will exhaust the Income of the association for the mext three months. The certificates of in- debtedness issued on the maturity of the first series two years ago were reduced from $25,300 to $3,600 during the year. “The association has been in business eleven years,” continued President Loomis, “‘and the total cxpense of conducting it for that time {s only $12,128.92, or a little more than $1,100 per annum. During this period we hava isucd 7,785 shares of stock, of which 4,315% have been redeemed, leaving 3,469% outstanding. We have made loans amount- ing to $265,300, of which there have been canceled by maturity of first series stock, §$141,900. “This sum of* $205,300 represents about 300 different loans, and means that we have in reallty built that number of homes in this city: We have pald to stockholders $200,827.26, and as interest ‘and. earnings, $103,221. The report of Secretary Nattinger cov- ered nearly the same ground as that of President Loomis.
