S S s CAUGHT A BAD MAN. Lono Former Omaha Newsboy Wanted for Turn- ing Several Smooth Tricks. Willie Litzen, an all around short change man, highway robber and train thief, who for years has given the secret service de- partment of western railroads no end of trouble, has about reached the end of his string, Secret Service Agent Willlam Canada and his associate, John C. Vizzard, of the Unfon Pacific having captured the smooth “peanut’ worker yesterday on a request from Assistant United Stat Marshal Bow- man Cannon of Utah, where Litzen is under indictment for highway robbery. He was taken to the county jail to await the arrival of the deputy marshal with extradition papers. Litzen in the early days was a mewsboy for Barkalow Bros. and ran out of Omaha on the Union Pacific. After a time he began to flim-flam his customers until his work became so open that he was discharged from the servic: of the newsdealers. This was the beginning of a series of crimes which placed him under the surveillance of tne railroad officials, but they could get no direct evidence against him. Some time ago the depot officer at the Union Pacific arrested Litzen on the charge of being a suspicious character. Judge Berka sentenced the man to thirty days im- prisonment, but suspended sentence If Litzen would get out of town. This was about a year ago, and he has made nimself scarce ever since, But yesterday he was seen on the streets by Vizzard and placed under arrest. o AGAINST BRANDES. Removal as Justice Asked on the Ground of Corruption and Nonresid At the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners yesterday afternoon a petition was read from Thomas O'Connor of South Omaha asking that the appointment of Charles Brandes as justice of the peace in Bast Omaha be cancelled. O'Connor com- plained that Brandes did not reside in East Omaha at the time of his appointment and had never lived there since, but his busine was transacted at an Omala office. He also alleged that the justice was corrupt and de- cided cases in favor of parties who were gen- erous enough to make some financial return for his favors. The communication was re- ferred to the finance committee and the county attorney. A petition from H. D. Coryell and others asked that the paving on Military road be extended onc-half mile to Mount™ Hope cemetery. 'This was referred to the commit- tee on roads. A resolution was adopted by which $100 was ordered paid to City Engineer Rosewater as a partial compensation for the time and money that he had expended in investigating the canal question for the board and for his attendance and advice when the matter was under discussion. nce. fifty Death of an Offcer.

The principal object of the institution, as |s generally known, is the reclamation and re- formation of fallen women. ORIGIN OF THE ORDER. Tho Order of tho Good Shepherd took Its rise in France in 1641, Its founder Father John Eudes, a zealous priest of Normandy, France. He was filled with the love of Christ, as was evinced by his frequent saying, “When we are invited to Jesus Christ, when He dwells within us, what a means we have of gaining hearts to Him! In his missions he often met with fortunate fallen women, whom want or p slon had cast into the depths of depravit Many of them, as they heard the gentle priest’s voice, Tonged to turn from the paths of sin. The greater their fault, the greater the tenderness and compassion he would show them, never failing to stretch out a helping hand. to save these poor sinner: At h request some picus persons received several of these unhappy beings into their homes, but such a plan was attended with objections, Father Eudes all under the under the on the sunset square west, spires was un- then tried to gather them me roof and to place them ection of, those who would un- dertake to bring them back to a better life. The idea was good, and G:d provided 4 way. A poor woman named Madeleine Lamy, received some of these unfortunates Into her lowly abode. She taught them to live according to the precepts of the gespel, and provided for their most pressing wants by meins of alms which Father Eudes placed in her hands, One day, in the fall of 1641, Father Budes went with some friends to visit a neighboring church. Madeleine appeared suddenly before them and thus addressed them: ° “What are you doing? Where are you going? Wandering about churches £2zNg at pictures, after which you think yourselves very p S, That is not th way to do busine You should set to work and found a home for these poor girls who are being lost for want of care and a way of living.” These simple, energetic words made a great Impression on the hearts of her hearers, They began to consider how they could give her the needed aid and soon the point vas gained. A house was rented and the penitents installed in it November 25, 1641, Some plous women were placed in charge of this little flock and all followed the regula- tions drawn up by Father Eudes, but as the women In charge were not strictly bound to continve in the work they soon became discouraged at the difficulties which are well known (o attend an endeavor of this kind and one by one withdreyw. EARLY DIFFICULTIES, It was then that Father Eudes discovered the neccssity of trying to induce them to bind themselves by bonds to continuo the work of reformation. - Thus originated the order known as that of “Our Lady C! ot the Good' Shepherd. ) °f Charlty For many years the church authorities refused to countenance the order, regarding it as imprudent to expose young and virteous ladies to the danger of constant care-taking intercourse with the depraved of their own sex. Father Eudes, however, had no such fears; he used to say that “purity united with charity cannot be sullied any more than the sunbeam is sullied by its contract with the mire.” At length he succeeded in obtaining church approval, January 2, and on the Feast of the Ascension ' following the sisters were per- mitted to make the three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, to which was added a fourth, to employ themselves In the care and Instruction of wom-n, who, after having ved licentiously, des entel . e, Nicentiously, desired’to enter tho house The establishment of this house was fol- lowed by seven others, which were still in ex. istence at the time of the French revolution 1792, when (hese, with all other religlous in- stitutions, were suppressed and their inmates dispersed. Those of the sisters who escaped sought refuge with their families, but many were consigned to loathsome prisons or ex. iled. The penitents wandered at will and, un- fortunately, we have reason to suppose, went to swell the mob of lawless creatures who succeeded more than any others in making that dreadful period, “The Reign of Terror." This storm, like all others, spent ftselt and when better days shone for France the com- munity of Our Lady of Charity of Tours was one of the first to reorganize. Close by the monastery was a seminary for young ladi one of the many which replaced the sup pressed schools of the sisterhood. This acad- emy was conducted by a_woman of remark- able talent and virtue, Madame de Lignac, who one day admitted a pupil who was d. tined to shed luster on the esiablishment, This was Rose Virginie Pelletier, the daugh. ter of an eminent physician of Noirmontier, where Rose was born. When very young her father died, and her excellent motiier, wish- ing to procure for her every ad: , sent her to Tours to complete her edu n. While an inmate of the seminary she formed the acquaintance of the nuns of the adjacent monastery, and before she had attained her 18th year she sought permission of her guardians to enroll her name with those of the zealous labore Her family insisted that she take a year to consider the desired step. She returned to her home and at the end of the term of probation generously nounced home and friends to devote herself to a work for which, the sequel shows, she was eminently fitted, She as- sumed the religious habit Sep ember 8, 1815, receiving the name of Sister Mary of St. Buphraria. Her rare gifts were soon dis- covered, and opportunities furnished her for exercising her indefatigable z Soon after taking her vows she was intrusted with the care of the penitents. This employment brought into play her wonderful talent for governing, and when a v ney occurred she was promoted to teh office of superior, GROWTH OF THE GOOD WORK. During her term of office a new tstablish- ment was opened In the city of Angers, in the west of France, and when she was r leased from sup:riority in Tours she was transferred to the new monastery, which flourished under her direction. When It was decided that more permanent good would b done by the order, if consolldated under one head, she was chosen first general supe foress of the Order of the Good Sheph The honors multiplied with wonderful rapid- Ity, so that between the years 1829 and 1863 (the year of her death), she h 110 houses of the ord:r in various parts of the known world, In 1843 the order was introduced into the United States by Rt. Rev. B. T.

Though this Instttution Is under the con trol of members of the Catholic church, the {nmates not of that falth never have their religlous beliof Interfered with, However, for obvious reasons, principally because they must always be under the survefllance of th sisters, they are present at the devotional as well as other exercises. It is true, many after being in the house for a time wish to embrace the faith of their guardians, partly because th are — touched by the charity of which they find them selves the object, and partly again by reason of convietion that in religion they will find ald to carry out their good resolu- tions for future amendment. In such cases tho sisters first assure themselves of the sincerity of their neophytes, and should they be minors the matter is submitted t parents or guardiins for approval Byery effort Is made to render the institu- tion self-supporting, but success s not always secured, owing to cireumstances which will be readily understood when explained Few, it ¢ of those who come to the house are skifled in any kind of labor. Pains must be taken to discover for what occu pition each one is adapted; then heroic pa- tience must next ‘be exerclsed, not only to teach them how to work, but to over- come lifelong habits of idleness. It is diffi- cult to appreciate the struggle that man of these poor girls have to maintain to sur mount evil tendeneles and strong tempta- tion to exchange for the new life of labor and restraint the old one of ease and, perhaps, luxury; hence they have to be con- stantly encouraged and the greatest for bearance exercised cver them. There must be ever patient, unremitting kindness and an_imperturbable sweetness. These are the indispensable conditions of success. METHODS AND MANAGEMENT. There are times when a word of fault- finding or reproof, no matter how well rited, would be productive of the direst results and undo the work of months and years. All has to be postponed until the season of gloom and despondency s passed. By reason of this the work is not always satisfactory and the institution loses rather than gains by its efforts at industry. Then, again, the work is not at all times remuner- ative and it is readily understood that in 1 institution of this kind there are many invalids, either so for a time or permanently. e convent of the Good Shepherd already counts twenty-four inmatcs, but this number in the reformatory will always fluctuate. Be it understood that the reformatory is not a prison—there is no fixed time for the stay of the inmates in the institution—this is regulated by their conduct and disposi- tions. When they are judged fit to leave they are returned ‘to their family or friends. If there are none such to receive them they are placed in suitable situations. Should any desire to leave whom the sisters deem unfit to cope with the temptations sure to beset their paths recourse is had to reason- ing and even entreaty to prevail on these poor, weak ones to prolong their stay. This is generally successful, but should the peni- tent persist in demanding to leave, if over age, she is dismissed, for it is only those over whom parents or guardians have d-1 gated their authority to the sisters who are detained by force. From the fact that some, these poor girls overcome by natural weak- ness and the efforts of wicked companions return to the old life of sin and shame, there are those who at the present day as well as at the date of the first reformatory think that the labor to reclaim them is not in vain, Not s0. The reformations may be well rated at 75 per cent. -One thing is sure, those who return to an evil life are always re- ported by others who come from the same walks, whercas many who remain firm in virtue are lost sight of. They often remove to places remote to begin life anew, or should they remain in the same city they seldom find it to their advantage to have it known they were at one time inmates of a reforma tory. Hence, too, their objection to being seen by visitors goivg through the institution. Oftentimes affer leaving the Good Shep- berd asylum they sever all connections with it, lest a casual visit would cause them to be suspected. There are some, however, who, animated with the grateful fove which char- acterized the Magdalen of old, brave scorn and reproach to follow the promptings of their hearts, none the less noble b:cause once bowed down with sin and sorrow. THE SUPMEME REWARD. The sisters of the Good Shepherd are often consoled by the visits of such, than whom 1o more “welcome guest ever enter their portal, and they feel that to save one of these is a life of labor well spent. But the moment of supreme consolation for a nun of the Good Shepherd must be that when she kneels at the bedside of the dying penitent listening to the murmurred prayer to God for mercy mingled with a sweet expression of love and gratitude for the friends who helped to smooth the path her poor feet had to tread. Yet those lips now moving In prayer were oftimes in the days of sin sullied by the ribald jest and appalling oath, She would perhaps have gone to meet her out- raged God with such staining them had not a helping hand rescued her. Those lips —are purified now, the fire of passion has been replaced in the fast Aimming eves by the nt of God's loly peace. No anguish is depicted on the brow, though the brain may be busy with the past. She may be telling over and over again the story of her wasted years, but she has repented, and her trust in the pardoning love of her Savior is unswery- ing; her heart is calm, though at times there is a pang when memory carries her back to the days of her innocence, there were loved ones then to cares soothe—where are they now? Perchance, you will find them amid the er of some festive scene from which all thought of care Is banished, or enjoying the quict pleasures of a luxurious home, and yet they are linked with the dying penitent by the closest ties of blood. But she In a_moment of folly committed the un- pardonable sin which broke the bond and she wandered forth an outcast. She may have repented; heaven may have blotted out her sin, but in the home which she has dese cra‘ed. it will never be forgiven. No matter, she has her friends, noble, pure women and true-hearted, honest men have at all times been found ready to render assistance to this work. The lady of rank, wealth and re- finement, over the purity of whose life God has so watched as to guard it from even the suspicion of evil, does not hesita'e to bend to the lowly penitent, to raise her to the path where she herself stands firm. So the | poor, shattered vessel reaches the port, life's storms are ended and the chasiened spirit is with God, while er history is buried in a nameless grave amd in the hearts of the Sisters of the Good Bhepherd. —— Oregon Kiduey Tea cures backacie. size, 26 cents.

The South Omaha and Coungil Blufts members have entered into the arrangements with a great deal of en- thusiasm, and all have done noble work The head officers of the Modern Woodmen of America will be present, as well as the head officers of the Ro bors of America, this being the ladies’ auxiliary to the Modern Woodmen. Woodmen and their families of all camps within a radius of 125 miies from Omaha have been invited to attend, and fairly reasonable rates have been made on all the railroads, so that it is expect:d scveral thousand Woodmen and strangers will be in the city. It has been the endeavor of the officers of the Eastern Nebraska Logrolling association and the members of the local committee to make this one of the most enthusiastic, in- structive and entertaining sessions which the ssoclation has ever held. The Courtland Beach association has been very liberal in its policy, and has done much to aid the log- rolling assceiation in this undertaking. As soon as the members from other places arrive in the city it Is proposed to meet them at the depots with bands and conduct them to the headquarters of th: Modern Woodmen, which will be at Patterson where the leaders of the various dele are ¢ pected to register. The head officers will be at the headquarters until the parade, and all visitors, with their ladies, may there meet and become acquainted. A grand street parade will form Seven- teenth and Farnam, and headed by the Se ond Infantry band, will march through the principal strests of the ecity. The parade will disband at Fourtcenth and Howard streets, where cars will bé in waiting to transport all Woodmen and visitors and their families to Courtland Bea On arriving at the beach dinner will be served, and at 1 o'clock there will be a grand balloon ascension. The exercises of the afternoon will consist, first, of a num- ber of addresses. The mayor will deliver the address of welcome to the Woodmen, which will be responded to in behalf of the Modern Woodmen of America by Hon. W. J. Bryan, after which Hon. W. A. North- cott, head consul of the order, will deliver an address. At the close of his add Northeott will present a beautiful priz west- other people enter ner to Omaha camp, No. 120, the same being | given as a prize to the camp having the largest camp on January 1, 1894, Mrs. E. D. Watts, supreme oracle of the Royal Neighbors of America, will deliver an address, in which the objects and benefits of the ladies’ aux- iliary will be explained. Others of the h-ad officers will deliver short addresses. The Woodmen from Lincoln will bring with them the Nebraska State band, which will give a grand concert on the Courtland beach grounds during the afternoon. The Second Infantry band will also give a number of fine musical sclections. A fine athletic program has been ar- ranged, to commence at 3 o'clock, to be par- ticipated in by Woodmen or Woodmen's wives and daughte The athletic sports will consist of various races, and in each contest first and second prizes will be given to the winners. The great spectacul Last Days of Pompeil,” will be given in the evening, and this night will be known s the ‘“Modern Woodmen's Night,” and many spectacular pieces will be interspersed which will be emblematic of the Modern Woodmen of America. All Modern Wood- men and visitors have been invited by the Courtland Beach association to attend this performance and see some of the emblematic work of the order emblazoned in words and characters of fire. The Modern Woodmen of America has been increasing in membership very rapidly during the last few years, and at present the membership is over 110,000 and new members coming in at the rate of 3,000 or 4,000 per month. Nebraska is the third state in the jurisdiction in the number of its members, and the city of Omaha has more Woodmen than any other city within the limits of the order. performance, “The Sons of Ve crowd of young men left Omaha yesterday afternoon for Davenport, Ia., to attend the meeting of the tional Encamp- ment of the Sons of Veterans, A, H. witzer, captain of the local camp, “was as big as life and twice as natural,” and with him were Colonel James C.

They say that it is incorrect, as any one, except those noted in the rule, may be reinstated at any time within six months without regard to age. They think the f ternity of the order is well illustrated by this fact, as well as by the further fact that no one is allowed to become suspended during ickness, make most de Memorint Resolution<, The King's Daughters of South Omaha met at the home of Mrs. Howard My passed the following resolutions on the death of their secretary, Mrs. Willlam Woods: Whereas, The Mighty King and All-Wise Father ha# called home this one of the love- liest and most loving of His daughters, we, the members of the Magic City circle of the King's Daughters, desire to pay a sor rowful tribute to the memory of our sister and friend, Kate Woods; therefore it is Resolved, That we feel and know that a future, nobler and grander, has for her just begun, that she has exchanged the silv cross for the golden crown, that she has put off the badge of purple, a royal color, but one inseparably associated with the sufferings and humillation of our King, for the robe of spotless white that only angels we Resolved, That we tender our sincere and heartfelt fympath: bereaved hus- band and little s deprived of a mother’s love , and her sor- rowing mother Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to' the family and published in the daily papers. arged with Stealing a Watch.
