Tlio First M'ethodlstchurch was lllled from
Iho altar rail to the doors yesterday after
noon-with people eager to hear Commander
nalllngton Booth oftho Salvation Army.
This was not his llrst appearance in
Omaha , and many who had heard the dis-
. 'Ingulshrd warrior during his former visit
ivero anxious to learn moro of the progress
Hjlng nmdo in this country by the great or-
gnnlwitlon In which General Booth and his
wonderful family of yealous children h.ivo
been so successful. The person who im
agines for a single moment Unit ho in going
to hear an Ignorant enthusiast when he goes
to hear Mr. Balllngton Booth makes a great
mistake. The commander of the Salvation
Army in the United Stales is a cultured gen
tleman , a college graduate , a polished
ipcaker , a level-headed , warm-hearted
philanthropist of the practical kind.
The commander and his secretary , Mr.
.lalllmand , were assisted in the meeting
yesterday by Major French , commander of
this division. Adjutant Harris , who has
charge of the Omaha garrison and a full
force of privates belonging to the army
. here. The choir gallery and the lower plat
form around the pulpit were completely
lllled with soldiers In uniform. A largo
number of the warriors were women and
girls who wore sashes over their shoulders
with significant words In largo letters such
as "Charity. " "Love , " "Faith , " "Perse
verance.1 etc. , minted on thorn. The singIng -
Ing was of the usual Salvation Army sort ,
brisk , vivacious and enthusiastic. After the
opening prayer and .song Major French of
fered a few remarks and announced a f > ole
by Commander Booth , which was very much
enjoyed.
Secretary Hallimand was next introduced
and read a selection of scripture from the
oplstlu of St. James. The words to which ho
called attention and upon which ho said
Commander Bootli would base his discourse
were these : ' 'Pure religion and undellled
before God and the Father is this , to visit
the fatherless and widows in their afflic
tion and to Keep himself unspotted from the
world. "
No I.OMR.T Misunderstood.
Mr. Booth thanked the audience very
fervently for the evident manifestation of
interest and sympathy which ho beheld in
the presence of so largo a concourse of
people. Ho said that it was his earnest
desire to sco the work in \ 'lich ho was in
terested owned of God and encouraged by
the good people all over the land.
"There has probably been nothing in the
history of modern civilisation , " lie said ,
"that can bo compared with the growth of
theSalvation Army work. Nothing since the
lays of early Methodism lias approached
the magnitude of the religious upheaval
that has been caused by this organization.
I am especially glad that tlio days have gone
by when the Salvation Army is misunder
stood and misrepresented in the United
States. The work in which we are engaged
IH now recognized and encouraged by
hundreds of thousands of Christian men ami
women all over tlio land. It is n matter of
surprise to mo when 1 look back at It now ,
that there ever could have been so much
prejudice against the movement.
" 1 well remember the llrst time that I put
on the Salvation Army uniform. I had Just
completed my course at college. I was obliged
to meet from.day to day the young men wiih
whom I had associated while in college ,
and as they beheld mo In the uniform they
pointed the finger of scorn at mo. Some of
them said-'Wo always thought ho acted
rather queer , but ho Is clear gone now. '
But I investigated the motive underlying
the uniform. I saw that it would bo possi
ble for mo to reach poor fallen humanity
tvhllo wearing that uniform that I might
lot bo able to reach if I should dross as the
inllnary minister , for instance. If uy wear
ing this uniform I should be enabled to no
cmnplish good , why should I be ashamed
oflti"
Not Mow , hut AVImt.
"I bcliovo the Christian world has quibhled
too long over the kind of a. not that should
be used in catching sinners. Tlio man who
succeeds in catching the most fish is the
most successful fisherman. Never mind the
kind of a not ho uses. The fish are what wo
seek. The Salvation Army is lifting men
out of the gutter by the thousands. It is
clothing the naked and feeding the hungry.
Then why should people point the finger of
scorn at it ? "
Tlio speaker said there were three classes
of Individuals In society tlioso who did not
'care to hear about the under stratum , the
poor and suffering ; those who would listen
but would not lend assistance of any kind ,
'and ' the third class composed of those who
jut forth u helping hand and through self
lacrlflce made it possible for their fallen
) rolhers to arise out of wretchedness.
In this connection he was reminded of the
Hory of an old omnibus in England , upon
\vhlchlhodrlvcr had a printed information
to the effect that ho had accommodations foi
Hist , second and third class passengers.
When the passengers alighted from a train
and inquired for accommodations of the first
: lass , they were ushered into the old 'bus.
Passengers seeking second and third class
accommodations were likewise shown into
the same vehicle. The driver cracked hi5
whip and away the 'bus rolled with the first ,
second and third class passengers all to
gcther. Presently they reached u hill , at
the foot of which the driver paused , and
opening a small trap door under his seat , ho
yelled down to the astonished passengers In
the vehicle , "First class passengers kee |
their seats , second class passengers get out
and walk , and third class passengers get on
and push up the hill. " That old 'bus was
a lilting illustration of tlio social world
today. The Salvation Army was composed
of pushers , ajyl the speaker was glad that
there were lots of them , and the nnmbci
was on the Increase. Ho was glad to sco so
many In Omaha.
AVImt the Army 1 < Doing ,
Ho then took up In detail the work being
done in the largo cities of tlio United States
He said that nearly 75 per cent of the work
ing classes in this country never attended n
church of any kind. With nearly lUUKX
criminals in the Jails of the country , an armj
of drunkards staggering about tlio streets
with thousands upon thousands of destitute
families In all < > / the great cities , surely tin
work of the Salvation Army was of mam
moth proportions.
The army is holding more than ; . ' 00,00 (
meetings every week in this country. It is
organized In 0(10 of the leading cities'of the
union , The army hail three objects In \ low
First to attract the attention of tlioso win
were in need of help , second to Intores
ihom and thirdly to lift thorn up. The arm.\
lad recently painted Now York City rod
mil while all the newspapers spoke Javora
rtyof. tlio givat meetings , yet there were
ame professed Christians who held up theii
hands in horror at the sight of KHI men fall
ing down before the l/ird and calling for for
gtvencss of tliolr sins in the presence of at
audience of ft.OOO people.
These people saw no harm , however , it
iho spectacle of two foot lull teams bcatlni ,
uml kicking each other till they stained th
tround over which they contested wltl
ilood. That was high toned and all right
tut the sound of a Salvation Army drum ti
Iho street would have upset their sensitive
acrvcs.
"I would rather see n man dance for Joj
on this very platform , " said tno speaker
"than to see him go reeling homo drunk am
rrnzy with Intoxicating liquor. Better for a
woman to beat the tamlkuirlnethan that he
jusbuml should beat against prison barn. "
New Pt'ittiircif of the Work.
Ho then explained the now features of tlu
Salvation Army work. The movement has
davi'lopcd what Is called the "Saloon Brig
ade " It Is the duty of this brigade to visl
saloons and find out the names of habltua
.drunkards and endeavor to draw them nwuj
from the place of temptation nnd ruin
Then thcro Is iho "Slum Brigade. " It Is
composed largely of women who t'O Into the
ionic * nnd haunts of the most nbjdct pov
erty , carrying food ar.'l clotnlni ; and medical
tiHslstniu'o , In the city of New York , ho
mild , thn Salvation Army Is now furnishing
food to ! ! 0. < X > < ) families through the agency nf
lw "Slum Brigade. ' ' The Army was urging
ho necessity of a better class of tenement
louses nml In every way inmlblo trying to
mprovo the condition oftho very lowest
stratum of society.
Great encouragement had been given the
\rrny by what Is known ns the Auxiliary
corps. This Is corniced of people who do
lot belong In fact to the Army at all , but
who sympathize with It and are given a sort
of honorary membership by paying i a year
to bo used by the Army In prosecuting the
work.
The address was received with very close
ittrntlon liy the vnst audience , and at the
close a great many people pressed forward
o grasp the commander's hand and wish
lim success In the work he represents.
Scr\lrc In thi < livening.
Tlio ovMilng rally was held in the First
Congregational church , ami 11 one Is to judge
of Its success by the number present , the
rally was certainly satisfactory to the tils-
.ingul.shcd visitor , Commander Ballington
Booth.
livery seat in the elegant church was
llled , chairs woic placed in the aisles and In
the Sunday school room adjoining , but even
with all these extra i-hairs many people were
compelled to stand up. The Council Bluffs
garrison attended In n body ami occupied
Beats in thy east part of the church. A largo
American ( lag was placed alongside the
iltar , ami thn colors of the Salvation Army
occupied a place in front of the choir.
Dr. Duryca opened the evening services
with prayer and Commander Booth was In
troduced , Mr. Booth led In the singing of
several Salvation Army songs and the con
gregation Joined In the choruses.
As a prellx to the commander's talk Major
Hallimand , private secretary to Mr. Booth ,
read the first chapter of the Acts of tlio
Apostles and spoke for some time on tlio re
ligion that Christ taught.
When Mr. Hallimand concluded , the usual
offering for the support of the army was
asked for , and Dr. Dnryea himself made a
personal plea for help for the organization.
The doctor told how much good work the
Salvation Army was doing , especially in the
slums , and how hard they were struggling
to carry on their work. A generous o3crlng
was the result of the doctor's talk.
Commander Booth then spoke for some
timo. Ho told of his experience In different
cities since his last visit to Omaha and how
the work of saving souls and caring for tlio
temporal wants of the jiour and needy was
progressing. During his talk Mr. Booth re
lated many incidents concerning the unfor
tunates who had been taken out of the gut
ter and cared for by the Salvation Army.
The work in Kngland and especially in
London was spoken of. and the commander
told many touching stories of destitution
and how the needy had been taken into the
fold and prevented from committing crime
by the inllucnce of the Salvation Army
soldiers.
It is the intention of Commander Booth to
remove tlio division headquarters from DCS
Moincs to Omaha in a short time and then
to push tlio charitable work in this city.

"Drinking. What it Costs , and the Kf-
fect , " was tlio topic for discussion at the
young men's meeting at the Young Men's
Christian association rooms yesterday after
noon.
Her. T. J. Mackay of All Saints church
opened the exorcises by reading a few
passages of scripture , and laid special stress
upon the paragraph where it says "Look not
uiNin the wine when it is red. "
Mr. C. 10. Bates then spoke for about half
an hour , telling some of his personal experi
ences with liquor. He said that ho drank
from the time he was Hi years old until ho
was 40 , and had spent nearly $10,000 for
whisky and came very nearly bankrupting
his parents ami family.
Mention was made of the great number of
crimes committed while persons are under
the Influence of liquor.nml ho thought that
physicians did wrong to advise patients to
use liquor In any shape. The speaker urged
tlioso present to stop drinking .altogether ,
oven an occasional glass of beer , and to ask
for God's help in trying to keep the pledge.
Several young men then spoke. Ono said
that ho used to drink a little , not because ho
liked It , but just , to ho sociable , and ho
tlioliL'ht that a great many young men did
tlio same thing because they did not have
the will power to say no.
Secretary Olier told about a Scotchman
whom ho know , who got on a terrible drunk
in Scotland and when ho recovered ho was
in America and hadn't the slightest idea
how ho got here. The secretary then asked
these who would promise not to'drlnk at all
to stand up , and about half of the young
men present arose to their feet.

curried in his pocket until ho got off the

Yesterday was a very busy day with tlio
police , nml , as n result of the vigilance of
the regular patrolmen nnil the iletoetlves ,
the city Jail last iiljtht was crowded to Its
utmost capacity. When .fuller Huvey went
on watch nt 7 o'clock In the evening ho
sized up the crowded cells and 1 lion pasted
u "standing room only" sign over his dusk.
Late Saturday nliiht Detectives Savage
mid Domp.soy got u "tip" that n gang of
petty thieves was holding forth in an old
rookery at Tenth and .tones streets , and ar
rangements were made to raid the resort
early Sunday morning.
The raid was matlo on schedule tlmo and
the result surprised the oldest oflleers. Nine
thieves were found sitting around n red hot
stove telling hard luck stories , hut Judging
from the amount of stolen plunder found In
the rooms , none of tlio g.mg could have been
in very hard luek.
When booked at headquarters they gave
the following names : John Doyle , John
Kelly , James Bennett , 131 Do.m , U. F.
French , I'uto Murray , Charles Kicc , James
lloylo and John Ferguson.
The charge of burglary was placed oppo
site each mans name. A half dozen suits of
clothes , twenty-two pairs of shoes , six skele
ton keys and three revolvers were among
the plunder found concealed in the building.
Ilesides this most we.ro wearing clothing
which had been stolen.
1'ospit IIH llnrrlliln Kxiunplr * .
Kvory one of the crowd has bee n using
the Hoscue home ns a blind to cover up his
crimes , and after being placed in their cells
they jested about the way they had worked
the'managcrs of the homo for lodging and
meals and had thus for a time evaded the
police. Many of this batch of toughs have
served time in prisons in different parts of
the country , and their faces ui'o to bo found
in dozens of rogues galleries throughout the
west.
Hcv. Mr. Clark of the home will no doubt
bo surprised to learn that Kdward Dean ,
who for some time past has been ono of the
reverend gentleman's most efficient lieuten
ants , is none other than I3d McOill , 'one of
the toughest and most expert burglars in
the west. McGill went to the homo and
promised to reform , and as ho is a pretty
fair talker. Mr. Clark often took him along
on his rounds , and more than once ho has
stood up in church and told about the sins of
his past life and how , through the intlueneo
of the good people of IJescuo hall , ho had
been brought to sec the error of his ways
and had reformed.
When Chief Detective Huzo saw McOill
brought into the jail his lirsr remark was :
"Why , that's the intiii who spoke in my
church last Sunday. "
Hut McGill had an object in pretending to
reform. While out around on his missionary
duties ho incidentally "piped1' off places and
told his gang where they could make a haul.
Too Chilly for HiirRliirk" * .
Only four or five robberies havo. been com
mitted the past week , the reason giver , by
one of the gang was "dat it was too blamed
cold , sco. "
Just after these wortliios had been locked
up , S. Akalstrand , 1104 South Sixth street
entered the Jail to report that during the
night his shoo store had been robbed. Ho
was shown the twenty-two pairs of shoes
found in the house raided and identified
every shoo.
Saturday afternoon the residence of Tom
McGovci'n , 2015 Chicago street , was entered
and some clothing stolen. One of 'the sneak
thieves had on a pair of Mr. McGovom's
pantaloons. Some property which had been
stolen from 5. South Twenty-sixth street
was also recovered. Another small trick
was turned by this same crowd at 1318 Cap
itol avenue Friday night and this property
was found among the plunder.
Of course the detectives and police are
jubilant over the catch , for if the warmer
weather had como on with this gang loose
any number of robberies would have ueen
reported. *
During the day every person known to bo
suspicious was arrested , and following the
burglars llfteeli vagrants ami auspicious
characters wore booked.
1'ollco Kept Up the Work.
George P. Mack was taken in out ofho
cold and held on suspicion until today , when
a complaint will bo tiled against him for
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Mack has been going about selling "club"
tickets on a well known photographer and
reaped quite a harvest. Saturday u man in
ICast Omaha presented the tickets at the
picture gallery and they were at once pro
nounced forgeries. The police then kept an
eye out for Mr. Mack and they got him.
But for pure , unadulterated gall in the
sneak thief line , Harry Jones , who was ar
rested about 5 o'clock , is entitled to llrst
place. Jones , according to his own story ,
was wandering around town trying to Ibid
something that was notnallcd down. Ho
chanced to pass Mayor Cushlng's residence
and seeing that there had been a lire there
and that the watchman was not In the stable ,
coolly walked in and bundled up three suits
of clothes and a lot of valuable briu-brae.
With his bundles under his arms. Jones
struck out for the north. At Twenty-second
and Cuming streets ho was accosted by
Ofllccr I'rescott , and after telling a few lies
he admitted that ho stole the stuff. Ho also
said that ho was cold and himgry and
needed money. Jones is an old circus fakir
nml Is up to every kind of a trick to got a
living without labor. As the amount stolen
will runup to several hundred dollars Jones
will no doubt wear striped clothes for some
time to come.
Itiiliiiiifi on tlio Wiirpiith.
Along about 50 : ! ! o'clock a rush call was
sent In from Seventeenth and Mason streets
for the patrol wagon. When the oftlcors ar
rived they found that four drunken Italians
were running amuck andclcaning the streets
in that locality by firing revolvers promis
cuously. Upon seeing the police the Italians
separated and ran. Two of them concealed
thoniM'lves In a house at 1111 South Mue-
tcuntli street. Dotcetivo Vizard traced
them there and breaking in tlio doot
grabbed the p.iir and dragged them
out. Another was found in a
small house near by and was also loaded Into
the patrol wagon. Tnoy gave their names
as J , Decarlo , Tony I'aoloand Wielo Laporte.
A crowd of fully iiOU people were interested
spectators of the capture and it was with
considerable difficulty that the police man
aged to keep their prisoners , as some of the
hotheads insisted on muting out summary
punishment then and there. It looked for a
tlmo as if there was going to bo a riot , but the
wagon managed to get started and the pris
oners wore landed safely in jail. A mob ol
about Hfty followed the wagon and swarmec
Into the Jail , but were promptly put out.

the different lines of shoes ex-
nmine them closely-see how
they're put -what '
togetherwhat they're
made of whether they look old
and shop worn or nol-in a word ,
postyouroelf on the shoe ques
tion. After you're pretty well
posted , strike out for oitr shoa
room-look over oinr slios stock
ask questions ( our shoe men'll
answer 'em asfasias you can ask
'em ) sec if you don't see as Rood
shoes hero as you've seen anywhere-Just as many shapes
-as good styles and as laree ; a variety to pick from y ou be
you will. Then ask about the prices. You'll find the same
kind of prices that we've built up our business on. You'll
find a genuine full stock American calf shoe , made
with th ? genuine .Goodyear welt , at two dollars and
fifty cents. You've probably seen the same shoe at four
. dollars ( but they called it hand made ) . You'll find the finest
American calf shoe that you've run across at three-ninety
and the that's "ad" '
man writing this knows they're wearers
for he's standing in a pair of 'em that he's worn over nine
months ( nights not included ) . You'll see shoes
At 5fi1 ipJL. 9K that are made with solid leather insoles and
counters.
At $1.65 thatare made of substantial casco calf.
At $1.85 thatarematleof ful1 stock calf with dongola tops
At 5)2 ' 25 thataremadeof solid American calf made in the
same factory and of the same stock as a certain
widely advertised best-on-earth-three-dollar-
shoe , " but we have 'em made better.
You'll see the finest line of fine footwear at four-twenty-flvo ,
four-seventy-five and five-dollars-and-a-half that you've seen
anywhere , and they're from two to two-and-a-half loss in price
than you've seen their equals.
