‘—————- 1 AEALTH 15 BATILE OF LIFE Franklin Pierce Jolly Speaks to Young Men. { { GMEEAT ESSENTIAL TO ENDEAVOR One Thing Which elps in Accom- plishment of Great Things of the Wopld—Sunday Ob- servance, The need of the element of faith in order to win the battle of life was the funda- mental thought of the forceful address de- tyered Sunday afternoon at the Young Men's Christian association men's meeting by Franklin Plerce Jolly, the well known lecturer of Jollet, TNl. Mr. Jolly was grested by a large audlence and his address proved most Inspiring. His description of the Grand Canyon was most eloquent and was a veritablo word picture “How to Win the tle of Life" Mr. Jolly's subjeet, and he said in part: | “The faith element is absolutely essential | it & man expects to make a success in this lite. Falth is the supplement of the senses. It one.:mam is distinguished above other men for comptehension of view and clear- ness of sthought it fs due to the element of faithiwhich he possesses. The element of falth enters strongly into education. What man has dono in the past man can do again. With this element of falth a men ean accomplish almost anything that he starts out to. Without it he will be a aismal failure “The woods are full of politiclans, but statesmagt Ard rare, If a man Is ambitious | was Council Bluff Minor Mention The Ooumcll RMiuffs Offies of Ve Omaka Bee is ot 15 Soott Berest Both Thones .

The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rall- way company has put in the curve at Twenty-fourth and O streets which i to accommodate the West L street extension. The grading has been completed from this point to the O street viaduct. The tracks will probably be laid to the approach of the viaduct by the end of the week.

The paving operations will cost about 23,000, Material has been ordered by the Union Pacific for strengthening the O street via- duct, and the steel braces and additional stringers will be on hand shortly. It was thought the O street viaduct would not stand the strain of the heavy cars. This viaduct is sald to have been a steel bridge originally for Green river, but when the ety arranged for the viaduct, and a change In plans made the bridge unavallable on Green river, It was placed In South Omaha by the Union Pacific. The span of the bridge is unusually long and this is one the company has decided to put in strengthening material. Emergency Ward Full.

And lim what is also.true, a straight look in the eyes of a pure woman is thunder and lightning' that burns to ashes the sins and iniquities, 6f, man.” In closing the speaker urged a better ob- servance of the Sabbath. In the early days of this country under the Puritans the ob- servance of the Sabbath was too extreme in its strajghtipcedness, but, unfortunately, in the present day it has become too much the other way. In fact, many fail to ob- sorve the day at all, declared Mr. Jolly. “I once heard T. DeWitt Talmage, that great preacher, say in speaking of the lack of observance of the Sabbath day, “The only way to_know it was Sunday in Paris, that gay cify, of the old world, was from the fact .m[stmi wasdmore’ doing’ im ‘the amusement and soclal way on the Sabbath than on any other day In the week and this 1s now only too true of many cities in this great country of ours.’ ‘We ought to strike a happy medium, but under all clrcumstances let us'not for get what the Sabbath day is and above a¥ things let us have a practical everyday lving. / Wednesday evehing Mr. Jolly will deliver his lecture “The Happy Side of Life" at the ‘Young Men's Christian assoclation building. fown Lunguage Society.

Mr. Louls Mann, who is “camping out” this season, pitched his tent in Omaha, appearing at the Boyd. for one consecu- tive night. Mr. Mana's play, which is written by himself, deals with the charac- ter of a Swiss, who, wefuses to be as- similated into the life atithe community into which he moves.is friends and all around. him take up tho new ‘ways of & new world, but he persists in retalning to the end the ways ofhis fatherland. This renders him finally: a really pathetic figure—a man who stood sthll, indeed. Mr. Mann invests the character with a decided interest, and his company gives him ex- cellent support. A little exhibition of the eccentricity of the star was afforded in | his objection to the sedting of any person while the ourtain is up. As a number came after the rise of the first curtain, | this order occasloned some confusion, but not a great deal of Inconvenience, for the entire audience might “have been seated after the rise of the curtaln without greatly dlsturbing anyone. In this and in several other ways, Mr. Mann has marked himself as a possible original of the title of his play. Vaudeville at the Orpheam. All young persons dediring to learn how to “elocute,” and there are many such at the high school age, will do well to sit at the feet of Miss Irene Romain, who s a past mistress in the art of dainty recita- tion. Since Miss Romain is young ana pretty, an accomplished planist and pos- sessed of a good singing volce, her offer- Ing was recelved with marked favor, and such a reception she merits, James Harri- gan, “the tramp juggler,’ s a skiliful manipulator of clgar boxes and the like, but juggled he even more skilifully he would never have attained headline dis- tinctlon for that art. It {s his comedy, which is delivered via & monologue, which has thus elevated his mame. He kept his audience convulsed yesterday. . Miss Romain and Harrigan are the best numbers of the current:bill, though there are others which scored heavily Sunday. Among these was the Bisan City Four, whose singing Is really intidental upon an orlginal street gambling comedy scene, Catherine Hayes and Sable' Johnson, two heavyweight comedlennes, are paying a re- turn visit here in their burlesque of little girl impersonations and are creating as much laughter as before. Another turn is | that of Carl Noble, the ventrilogulst, whose lay figures walk round the stage with life- like steps. The five Juggling. Normans, whose act Is about the best of Its kind, open the bill, and Miss Jean Bersac, with | her trained ponlés and ‘the bucking mule, closes the entertainment. “The Fantastie World™ «t the Gayety. The theme of a play within a play has been transferred to musical comedy scenes in the entertainment for which Frank Wies- berg and Irving B. Lee wrote the book and Hampton Durand composed the music A connected and well developed plot comes to a climax in which the first night's pro- duction Is interrupted by a playhouse man- ager, an exciting and realistic quarrel fol lowing between him and the producer-com poser, this taking place in front of the foot- lights. But the flavor of burlesque has not been entirely lost from the production, in which the princlpal comiec roles are played by Charles O. Rice and Fred M. Cady. The vaudeville in the ollo is unusually good, the best number of this being a one-act play | with a sort of “Music Master plot, the tather being well acted by Murray Living- ston, who Is supported by Gladys Croliug and Harry Tyler. The principal women In the main part of the entertainment are Ethel Kirk, pos sessed of a rich soprano volce, and Vera Shelby, who also sings well.

MUST KEEP MIND OUT OF A RUT Courage dn Moxel Life Fostered by Use of Continual Practice of High Inttiative, Timidity the Re- sult of Indolence. Ore of the most noteworthy addresses ever given at the Omaha Young Men's | Christian assoclation was delivered yester- |day afternoon by Colonel Cornelfus Gardi- |ner, commandant of Fort Crook, to an |audllence constderably larger than the aver- |age at the Sunday afternoon meetings. | Colonel Gardiner's theme was “The Inde. |pendent Thinker.” 1In the course of a |scholarly address, which showed that the speaker himself has practised what he ad- vocates, Colonel Gardiner said: “Let me first explain what T mean by an indeperident thinker. He Is a person whose constarit effort through life has been to get at the true facts of eveiy case coming under his’ observation uninfluen by his own relations thereto and who can as easily declde against as for himself. He has carefully guarded himself from falling in love with his own opintons, because they were his. and from allowing his mind to begini running in a groove. This running of a mind in a groove or rut is suteldal to all independent thinking. True, It is much easier to accept the ready-made conclu- slons of others than to exert upon the problem one's own thinking powers. “Wa see dally many people who never think for themselves, but accept for them- selves as theirs such opinions upon eurrent events the first book or newspaper which they réad furnishes them with. These are most often adopted in toto and defended with a zeal having all the ap- pearance of originality of conception. In this respect civilized man is divided into three classes. In the first class are the world's original thinkers, one of ten thou- sand at present, perfectly sane, unbiased, unprejudiced, grasping and solving prob- lems 88 they appear and coming to correct conclusions—the truth seeker, tho super- man. Second-Aand Thinkers, “After one of the before mentioned class has correctly thought out the problem and published it to the world we have the million in the second class, who immedi- ately say, ‘Yes, that is right; I told you s0.' And thelr opinlons are then formed accordingly. .This is the great respectable reeding public, “Last we have those who never think seriously upon any 'subject and never form an opinion one way or the other perma- nently, nor do the great world problems Irterest them. This Is the great mass which can be swayed hither and thither by any wind that blows. “The Independent -thinker, after arriving at the truth of a thing, should be fearle: to express it. He is often a man who, Lke Elijah, Is accused of ‘troubling Israel’ by such as are the beneficlaries ofvexisting wrongful condlitions. He is seldom’ ap- preciated in ¥is day ard generation “It is sometimes contended that courage is wholly a matter of temperament; that the brave inherit their bravery and the timid their timidity, and that, therefore, the former deserves no credit and the lai ter no blame. But, like other virtues, it fs due only in ‘part to heredity. We come into the world, not with full-fledged quall- tles, but with tendencles in various direc- tions.

STRONG MUST HELP THE WEAK Need of Being Unselfish, ““We, thin, that are strong ought to bear the inftrmities of the weak and not to please ourselves,” sald Rev. Leonard Groh, pastdr of St. Mark's English Lutheran churgh, Sunday morning. He quoted the passdge from the first verse of the fif- teenth chapter of Romans. ““This is an excellent lesson for the Lenten | perlod,” continued the speaker. “It s a lessont in seif-control, emphasizing the fact that we must not live for ourselves alone, but that we should help others. “In the procession of iife do we not hear of amie soldier - belping another that Is wounded or is lame? The strong soldier alds the weak one in thé long, hard march, 80 it should be with us; the strong should ald the weak In remaining in the ranks, We are members of & Christian army and our H#lp should extend to all men. “Af this juncture you may ask, ‘Who are the strong? .

Yesterday was county option day in the cvangelical churches of Nebraska. The crusade for that policy and the campalgn of the Antl-Saloon league were discussed in hundreds of pulpits. It was the fruit of a plan lald some weeks ago. Many lay workers occupled pulpits In Omaha and other citles and towns. Sen- ator A. L. Patrick made the principal ad- dress In the pulpit of the Benson Presby- terlan church, where a general mass meot- ing was held. Harry A. Stone spoke at the Firet Baptist church in Omaha In the even- ing. Rev. J. M. Leldy, secretary of the league, spoke In several small towns out in the state. Rev. K. B. Norberg, pastor of the Swed- ish Methodist church, Nineteenth and Burt streets, preached on “The Nebraska County Option Bill" and Rev. Nathaniel McGif- fin, D. D., pastor of Lowe Avenue Presby- terlan, Fortieth and Nicholas, used as his eubject “The Modern Anti-Saloon League Crusade.” The one prevalling plea of the ministers and laymen was for a still more aggressive fight by the temperance forces, which, they declared, must stand shoulder to shoulder to win. All the speakers in Omaha pro- fessed to see complete viotory, or state- wide prohibition, not far off. Senator Pat- rick reviewed some effective work that had been accomplished since the crusade got into the legislature, and he predicted more effective work through political processes. Dr. McGiffin pleaded for sanitys and con- servatism even in this sort of reform, lest it become topheavy andl fall. Mr. Stone thought one of the cares of the reform element just now was to guard Aagainst the entrance of false ‘prophets. He #ald that with apparent success would come many men seeking to ride into public favor on the crest of the tide, Rev. Mr. Norberg belleved In’the county option bill and belleved it would be vin- dicated If given a falr chance.
