THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, F BRUARY 4, 1895. CHRISTIANITY AND CHINESE Oonverted Oelestials Have a Day at Young Men's Ohristian Association Hall, ACDRESS BY M>. JUNG CHEE CHAN How He Came to Leave His Tdois and Offer Peayers to Josus—Religlons of His Native Country—Work for Chinese in Omahn, Yesterday was Chinese day at the Young Men's Christian association, the services in the afternoon being devoted to the Chinese and their needs. The meeting was very well attended, the body of the auditorium being filled. The platform was occupled by a dozen Chinamen, who took a prominent part In the exer singing a number of hymns in the Chinese language, and of their number, Jung Chee Chan, delivered an dress. The latter fs pursuing a course of medicine at the Omaha Medical college with the Intention of returning to his native coun- try after graduation to practice. This Is his first year at the medical college, but he has completed a three years' course at Bellevue, Mr. Chan sald there was plenty of room In China for missionaries to work. In his homo district, one of the largest districts of Canton, there were over 1,000,000 people and no church or missionary, only a small Christian school of some twenty-five pupils. The object of the school Is to give the chil- dren a knowledge of the bible and of a few elementary branches of education. This school 18 situated in_the principal city of the dis- trict, the walled capital containing 120,000 people, A missionary visits the city three or four times a year, staying only a few hours each time, From these visits the inhabit- ants have obtalned some knowledge of Jesus and His teachings, but the people outside the eity have never heard His name. The people are devoted to three religions, continued the speaker, Confucianism, Buddl jsm and Taoulsm. The first teaches moral- ity and the worship of ancestors, the second the worship of the sun, stars, moon and other natural objects, while the last deals with the soul and the life in the other world. There are no infidels, the speaker remarked, as every one bellevs in one or another, and some believe in all three without any mental confusion. Consequengly, all those who have heard of Christianity think that there is only one church in this country, and that every one belongs to it. DAYS IN THE TEMPLES. Mr. Chan stated that there were no Sab- baths in the Celestial kingdom, but that two days in the month, the 1st and the 15th, were devoted to offering and worship. These, however, are not regarded as religious days, but as holidays, enjoyment days. No stores are closed, but business is carried on as on other days. The worship is carried on in temples, of which there are many, some of them very beautiful. He mentioned that the most beautiful in his city is the palace of Confucing, which was about two blocks in Iength, and a block and a_half in width. It is handsomely decorated and adorned with many towers. The statue of Confucius, three times as large as an ordinary man, stands in the center of the court, surrounded with statues of his disciples, There are two entrances to the temple on each side for the common peo- ple. Between these there are three othe the center one for the mandarin of the high- est rank and the other two for mandarins of the second and third ranks. The speaker stated that the idea of coming to this country had first occurred to him while he was attending school, when he heard many marvelous stories of America from his friends. He was at that time a worshiper of Idols, and before embarking on the voyage he prayed to the idols and promised them many presents if he returned gafely. On arriving at San Francisco he at- tended a mission schodl, where he learned the English. lJanguage, Later he was con- verted to the Christian faith. The Chinese, he sald, had many queer ideas of the habits of the people of this country, which are taught in the schools. Among them are the beliefs that Americans eat putrified meat and that the men are allowed to marry their own daughters and sisters. FOR OMAHA'S CHINESE. Mr. Kennedy recounted some of the work done in the Sunday schools for the Chinamen of the city, which are supported by the Wo- men’s Christian Temperance union. Tha first £chool was established in 1885, at the request of scme Chinamen. “The school was entirely undenominational, and the services wera sim- ple. The work went on for five years, with- out any apparent fruit, but in 1890 two of the pupils professed their faith in Christ, ona of them being Jung Chee Chan. Sincz then the work has progressed very favorably, six Chinamen having been enrolied in the First Baptist church and s:ven in the First Presby- terian church. Some of these have left the clty for their native land, but the spealker was confident that they wculd continue in the faith in China and® do a good deal of Bood, Mr. Kennedy portrayed some of the diffi- culties in the work of converting Chinamen, He said that they were in a strange land among a strange beople, without any knowl- edge of the language, and usually staid so short a time that they could obtain little knowledge of it. If they acezpted Christianity they ran ‘the chance of losing the friendship of those whom they loved and of antagonizing those with whom they were assoclated. When they returned home, to their families they would be looked upon as infidels. The speaker took ' consolation in the fact, however, that when they did become converts after con- sldering all these difficulties, thelr minds were firmly settied, and they would remain Chris- tians as long as they lived. — Catarrh is a constitutional disease. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a_constitutional remedy, It cures catarrh, Give it a trial. —_——— AVALANCHE OF ICE. Accldent to a Laborer that May Cost Him u Log. George Schiller, living at 1126 North Seven- teenth street and an employe of the South Omaha Ice company, met with an accident yesterday while storing away ice in a build- ing at Fourteenth and Nicholas streets. The hooks which were used in hauling the ice up an elevator became twisted and broke loose from the ice, lotting it fall back on Schiller, who was at the bottom of the shaft. Sixteen heavy cakes of ice came swiftly down the shat, and before Schiller could get out of the way he was caught and his right leg fro the kneo to the foot badly crushed. He was taken to St. Joseph's hospital in the police ambulance.

Under the auspices of the local Turner #o- ciety a magnificent theatrical performance was glven last evening in Germania hall In English the name of the play is “From Step to Step, or a Dream and a Reality,"” and the author's name is Hugo Mu The principal attraction was Fraulein ¢ tel Berthus, from the Cincinnati German opera house, and she made herself a great favorite, In eve a natural grace that is peculiarly attract- ive, even to a person who does mot thor- oughly understand the German language, and it is not at all surprising that her countrymen became very enthusiastic over her acting last night. Another ction worthy of mention was Herr The Lieben, who sustained the role of Felix L-rche In a masterly manner, and he was the recipient of any amount of boisterous Teutonic applause. Mr. William Alstadt, familiarly known as “Little Bis- marck,” personated in A most amusing way the character of Borneman, an innkeeper. Mr. Seume made athorouighly character- istic German police judge, and Turner Her- betz represented the ¢ of Wohlgemuth in a way that elicited se encores, charming young ulein Selma Lindemann, ly yqung milliner and re a very m greeting from those who have be ne well acquainted with her natural his. onic talents, Turners Niederwieser and Bayfel made a capital ums'* and created much i y their wild antics. Mr. Blattert in the part of a cab- inctmaker covered himself with glory, and Miss Therese Merges in the role of Lisette was fascinating, It fell to the lot of Turner. Detterbeck to personate the character of Huckellbrett, a papular singer, and he acquitted himself’ of his task most satigfactorily, judging from the amount of applause he received. Herr Jacob Kopp showed up in great shape as Habicht, a drinker by profession, and I'rau Bertha Itestner as Amanda, a prima_donna, surpassed herself. “Fraulein Elizie Burnitz nd EFraulein Anna Mueller two of the prettiest and most successful of rakish singers.

SHIPMENTS WHY I ARE DZLAYED Report of Cash and Supplies Handied Is Promised Today — Commission Doing Careful Bookkeeping and Able to Ace count for All Money and Goods. Mr. W. N. Nason, president of the Ne- braska State Rellef commission, was in Omaha yesterday to spend Sunday at home, and talked quite freely regarding the large number of complaints recently made of the tardiness of the commisison in forwarding supplies to the drouth stricken counties. Said he: upplies are being forwarded as fast the organization of the relief system will permit. It is absolutely necessary that the commission investigate with great care the requisitions that come in from the counties to make sure that no county or community gets more or less than its proportion. This requires time. We also must take time, be- fore making a shipment, to look over the stock we have on hand and pick out the ortment needed, We have now about sev- enty-five carloads of clothing and provisions and of this none has been there longer than ten days, except some clothing, for which the demand s rapidly falling off, and some farm and garden seeds, which will'be shipped later. Many of these recent complaints, too, come from counties which have not organ- ized relief committees under the bill passed a few weeks ago, and it is out of our power to send them assistance until they do, for we are prohibited by the bill from doing so. It is true that the organizations formed un- der the commission in the first place exist there, but we cannot now extend aid through them. Another fact is that 76 per cent of the complaints are received by us after the provisions asked for have been shipped and are in transit."” Respecting complaints made on the gronnd that the commission has made no report of the business It is doing or statement of money and goods reccived, Mr. Nason said: “The reason no such report has been made is that we have been too busy, owing to the urgency of the demands made upon us and the large quantity of supplies which we are handling, to take the time to go over our books and make it. But the commission has in its service an experienced and competent bookkeeper and we shall be able to properly account for every dollar, every pound of flour and every grain of wheat received. While an account is being kept of everything we are making it a special point to see that receipts and disbursements of cash are pre- cise in minutest detail. Bvery cent recelved is placed to the account of the treasurer, who, as well as the secretary, is under bonds of $20,000. Against this account we check for some incidental expenses and coal and freight charges, but for nothing else. We extend no aid by direct cash remittance, un- less the donator sends directions to the con- trary. We have received in all from $10,000 to §12,000, and cash donations are receipted for In every case and immediately. For a time we were about ten days behind in acknowledging donations of supplies, but are now about caught up on this We have now,” continued Mr. Nason, “‘about completed a report of our work, which we expect will be ready for submission to thé senate and to the newspapers tomorrow. and hereafter we will make these report every week. Mr. Nason said that the commission took receipts from the county committees for all shipments and the county committees, in making individual distribution, took acknowl- edgements from all persons assisted, return- able in two weeks to the state commission. He said that so far not one of the six mem- bers had been compensated. They hope that the legislature will make some provision in this direction. —_— AMUSEMENTS, 0 as There {s a great deal of interest and a great deal of virility surrounding the pres- ent production of “Faust,” which began an engagement at the Empire theater yesterday. While the immortal poem of Goethe Is taken as the basis for the drama, Shakespeare, Byron, old maxims, “wise saws and modern instances” have been used ad lib for the purpose of making a telling series of pic- tures, and be it sald to the credit of the management the play was splendidly put on, all thebig features of the scenic pro- duction being given in a surprisingly cred- itable manner. So much for the up-to-date stage manager, who, realizing the space be- tween the proscenium arches, adapts Lis pictures to the width of the stage. Th Brocken scene, which is one of the master- pleces of stage art, seemed to suffer little on account of the smallness of the space be- hind the footlights, and all the sensational effects were given with a degree of detail quite remarkable. The company producing “Faust” is in the main thoroughly satisfactory, Miss Rosabel Morrison, who heads the cast, being a very sweet and a very much sinncd-against Mar- guerite, She presents an ideal study of the pure-minded maiden who falls a victim to Faust's wiles, aided and abetted by the con- Summate art of his satanic majesty. And Mephisto is right cleverly impersonated by F. D, Montague, who reads with a great deal of Intelligence, ‘although he makes the arch flend less subtle than some of his confreres who are playing the part en tour. What Mr. Montague's satan lacks in incisiveness and suggestion, however, is somewhat coated over by genial ‘humor, which is much more ac- captable from the devil than deep-dyed vil- lainy. “As Faust Mr. MacLaren Is accept- able, although he reads with entirely too much suggestion of the heavy tragedian play- ing Brutus or Cassius. The others of the company are thoroughly competent and a really meritorius perform- ance Is glven, Owing to an accident on the railroad the company did not arrive in Omaha until late yesterday, the curtain at the matinee not being rung up until nearly 2:80. But the audience was patient, and their patience was compensated for by a good performance. At Boyd's theater on Wednesday eveninf next W. 8. Cleveland’s newly organized ag- gregation of his minstrel enterprise, consist- ing of negroes, white people, and Arabs, num- bering fifty people, will appear—two big min- strel shows at one time. It will be a double show In every sense of the word, with a grand double first part, two orchestras and two sets of comedians. The people n the first part are all well known, while his spe- clalty performers are almost without excep- tion ‘strange to theater goers in this part of the globe, having been procured in Europe tho past summer, specially for this sho Inasmuch as this will be the first minstrel show of the season, and being an attraction 50 well known here, the W. §. Cleveland min- strels should receive liberal patronage: The sale of seats will open tomorrow morning. The popular feature of pacifying all parties after giving each individually a severe satir- ical scoring, which Is a characteristic of all of Mr. Hoyt's works, has accounted much for the supreme success of six months of his latest comedy success, “A Temperance Town,” where it has just completed a won- derful run at the Park theater in Boston. It 1s known in Boston as a record breaker in theatrical circles, not only in its crowded houses, but in the length o/ its run, The play will be seen at Boyd's theater for three nights and Saturday matinee, com- mencing Thursday evening, and should be | greeted with enthuslastic interest by our | | theater goers. Themale of seats will open at 9 o'clock Wednesdny morning for the entire engagement. Following ““A_Temperance Town' at the Boyd comes D.

The right is reserved to use any head line once, The following are the facts to be adver- tiscd: Hayden Bros. of Omaha are the only firm In the world showing a complete line of the instruments manufactured by the five most renowned piano makers on earth, Hay- den Bros. are not tied up with red tape restric- tions like regular selling agents, but are free to make the lowest prices ever neard of. Hayden Bros. put special streess on the Stelnway and Vose pianos because they have a larger line in stock and can buy them cheaper than any other makes of equal repu- tation. Do not be misled by any one claim- ing the sole agency. Hayden Bros. have them direct from the factory as well as from the Max Meyer & Bro. Co. stock. Music trade papers are eaying pianoe cannot be sold Jn a department store, but sensible people who do not care to he hoodwinked by silly frills are not so motional and the best proof of this s that Hayden Bros. sold more pianos, organs and musical Instruments in one week than any five music stores west of Chicago have sold In six months. The muslc trade papers say this innovation will be watched with unusual interest and Hayden Bros. propose to keep them guessing. DOCTOR SEARLES & SEARLES, Chronic, Nervous, Private Diseases.
