8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEKr : MONDAY , FEBRUARY 12 , 18M , ANTI-CHURCH INFLUENCES Some of Them Which Seem to Prevail with Young Women , DR , PATTERSON'S ' SERIES OF SERMONS J'rrnrlipr Hclloir * KxUtrnro of Ilio Hunilny 'llionlrr Is n llumlug Hlmitio Thlnki J'cwn .Should Ho rrco-Htimlnjr Social At tlio Flrat Presbyterian church last evening the discussions as to tlio reasons assigned for nonattendance at church worn brought to a conclusion. Thcso services have proved exceeding satisfactory and have enlisted much Interest , the church belnB niled to Its utmost capacity each evrnliiK. .Mr. I'atterfon took for his text the prayer of the psalmist , "That our sons may bo ns plants grown up In their youth ; that our tlmifilitcra may bo as cornerstones polished after the similitude of n palaca. " "It Is sometimes a matter of wonder that ministers speak more frequently and freely of young men than of young women , " Mr. Patterson said. "Ono reason Is that the pulpit shares the common belief that young men nro more exposed to temptation and are moro susceptible to temptation than young women. There Is also another rea- non. There prevails In the world a fnlso Knllantry , which demnnds that whenever a man speakfi of woman In public ho shall line only the language of compliment and niloratlon. Otherwise , the upcaltcr Is con- Bldcr'ed dcstltuto of chivalry. Most men prefer sllenco to unfriendly Judgment and Bliurp criticism , but In my Judgment it Is unworthy the ministry to bring Into the pulpit the flattering compliments of the drawing room , and , therefore , I take the privilege of plain speech. Some young women do not attend church because they . This objection nro unable to rent pews. jection will not ' hold good In churches where there ere a consldornblu number of tin rented pews. Most churches that rent pews reserve a number of pows In the best portion of the house for the ac commodation of strangers. Churches whoso ueatlng capacity Is not In excess of the membership will find this constantly com promised by the system oPpew renting. A Ktrangcr In a church Is In the nature of n guest In one's home and Is entitled to the best accommodation the church has. It must not bo forgotten that It requires money to Biipport churches , neither should It be assumed that churches will go Into bank ruptcy If they abolish pow rentals. The largo majority of Christian people will gtvo as much for the support of the gospel In a church where the settlings 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 I have yet to learn of a slnglo Instance wherein the system of free pows has been tried that It has not proved a financial suc cess. Families should bo assigned regular places to sit ; reasonu for this nro obvious , but every scat in every church , according to the spirit of the now testament , should bo open to any worshipper who seeks com munion with Oed 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 said that , the sculptor , Hart , made a statue In which he has made woman triumphant. The ladles of his na tive state' ; Kentucky , have bought It , and It adorns the city hall at , Lexington. Of It Frances Wlllard sass : It shows n perfect woman , nobly planned , To warn , to comfort , mid command , A creature not too bright or good For human nature's" dally food ; And yet n spirit pure and bright , With something of un angel's light. "Hut whcro can such real and living Ideal of woman bo found ? Certainly not in the magazines. They are only caterers. No wonder they present false ideals. As Moses bulldcd the _ tab eniaclo according to the pattern showed him in the mount , EO every man and woman is to foliow as n pattern the character revealed In Christ. SUNDAY THEATERS. "Tho theaters prevent some young women from attending church. I do not deslro 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 rabo my voice against the Sunday theater tn this city. Kor ono I consider It a buimng dis grace. I am glad to know that the man ager of the leading theater of the "ity would bo glad to close his place of. amusement on Sunday. I am glad to- know that respect able actors almost without exception op pose Sunday shows , ami I appeal to the theater ( joera of this city who regard the Lord's day to stonil In fnvor of no Sunday Dhows. For ono I do not see how a re- upectablo Christian can support a play house that runs on Sunday. "But I hear some one say Chicago has Suuday theaters. That may bo a good mi- son why wo should not have them. Wo do not want Chicago's shame ; neither do wo want her sins. Chicago hud her Haymarket. Is that any reason why wo should have one ? Chicago had her Prendergust. Is that any reason why wo should have ono ? Yet the very Influences that brought about those con ditions In Chicago arc at work hero , and who shall say that wo will not suffer another riot , a crlmo harvest ? nut another says the Sunday theater keeps people from worse places. Yes , and keeps them from bettor Ones , too. Constituted as man is , It Is very easy for the good to supplant the better anil the batter to supplant the best. I submit If the Sunday theaters are run as missionary enterprises why not offer seats free and go 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 la the Sunday theater Is not after men nml 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-earned cash. And I appeal to the fathers and mothers of this city as they love their own boys and girls , by the thundering law of Sinai , by the pleading sacrifice on Calvary , by the prom ised land of Plsgah , I appeal to you to abel ish this shame , SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS. "Some young womo'4 < lo not go to church because of social engagements on Sunday evening. Why not Invite the young gentle man friend to the house of Uoil ? If you do not care to bo seen with him In church you should bo ashamed to spend an evening with him In your parlor. If ho docs not respect your religious convictions , neither should jou respect him. It will not take a Christian young woman long to dccldo between the house of God and a social hour with an li re ligious young man. I am a great believer In the power that young women might oxer- clso over young men. I 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 associate with young men who divide tholr time between places of low amusement and their lady friends , then the young men would begin to realize that there was some thing set Ions In their behavior and would bet about to mend their.ways. So long as- fair and faultless women smllo on corrupt and Impure men the men will continue to corrupt tlicmsolvcs , Shakespeare paid a high compliment to woman's Influence when ho raid : 'The cataatrophu of every play Is caused nlwayti by thu folly or fault of a man , mid the redemption , if there be any , the wisdom and virtue " - * In by of -woman. . From the time that Kve gave Adam the for bidden fruit man has followed woman's lead for good or 111 , Occasionally wo find a Joseph with his power to assist a temptress , u Job that will not curse God though com manded to do so by lila wife , but the rule (9 ( that though a woman become a Delilah , a Jtvvbol or a llcroillas , there will bo plenty of men who will commit their strength , thtlr Kingdom and their conscience to the keeping of BUdi women. Many a young woman who today U a mere creature of clrc.um- stances , carried along by her environment , may some day bo constrained to cry out of the bitter memory of lost opportunities , 'Oh , A glorloui record by the angels kept of. mo had I done Instead of doubted , , had I worked Instead of wept. ' " Next Sunday Mr. Patterson will tnfco for bin subject In the evening "Ililth , the Olcancr , " and the following Hunilay evening , "Kather , the Queen , " "Laugh and the world laughs with you , weep and you weep alone , " must have been the govonilng thought In the minds of Harry and Edward Paulton when they gave "Nlobc , " which was was done yesterday at the Fifteenth Street theater , to the stage. Laughter pervades the three acts of this eccentric comedy to a wonderful degree and Is administered In alopathlc dose : ) to the people In front. Had Gilbert's "Pygmalion and Galatea" never been written "Nlobo" would , In all probability , never have seen a nineteenth century drawing room , much leas looked upon the men and women of the present through eyes that at least are 3,000 years old. It was a most clever conceit to bring back the wife of the king of Thebes , who was changed Into stone by the gods long before the Homeric periods , and place her as gov- crnrss over n modern household , which Is the "Irritating cause" of all the complica tions that arise In the Ufa of Peter Amos Dunn , the life Insurance agent. Nlobe , the famous mother of so many lofscB , whoao readiness to pour out her sorrows on every occasion by sighs and tears ban been exploited In almost every literature , Is very dlscjfotly played by Miss Marguerite Fcaly , a newcomer to the com-1 edy stage , but a veteran In melodramatic work , Her performance was characterized by tact and spirit , the young lady catchIng - Ing and uttering the humorous feelings of the part admirably , while her touches of the ancient Greek civilization 'in occasional pose and gesture quite won the favor of yesterday's audiences , which , notwithstand ing the storm that raged , were largo. The dignity and gentleness of Nlobo were pleas ingly contrasted , the estimate of those who had seen Miss Isabella Coo In the part being sympathetically Inclined to Miss Fealy's well rounded Interpretation. Peter Amos Dunn Is In very competent hands , although one wishes now and then that Mr. Anderso were Just a trifle taller that the contrast between the clinging Nlobe and this nineteenth century money maker might bo moro pronounced. Mr. An derson has the comedy Instinct well de veloped , but he lacks the repose the role seems to require and he plays It with Just a bit too much patter. Repression Is what Mr. Anderson needs to moke the part u big hit. Mr. Frank Short , an Omaha boy , and n most promising young actor , plays the cc- cantrlc art enthusiast splendidly. In maka tip , In manner , In little tricks of eccentricity , hu shows the student throughout. In direct opposition to the character study. Mr. Short played a conventional young lover's part very creditably , which showed Iilt'n moro than a one part actor. Miss Daisy Mayer makes much of the Ingenue part , Hattle Grllllii. She Is bright and vivacious and helps the comedy along considerably. The vinegary old maid , the woman with a past which she tries to conceal , Is played by Lillian Dlx with considerable merit , If the expressions heard throughout the audience as to her acidity are any criterion of success. The rest of the company Is entirely acceptable , the curtain calls showing the pleasure the audience obtained from the comedy. TIRED OF BRASS BUTTONS. Indians 11113 IMR Their Discharge from Unvlii Sam's Army , An alleged newspaper recently took ex ceptions to an Item In The Bee which said that the Indians in company I , Second In fantry , wer6 purchasing their discharge as rapidly as possible. On Wednesday of last week ono .Jndlan was. discharged by purchase by Lieutenant Pickering , 'tlio commanding officer of the company Friday tlireo moro Indians have made formal application to bo dis charged and their papers along with the purchase money have been forwarded to the War department at Washington. At the beginning of the weelc the company contained only thirty-nine men , the smallest in point of numbers of any In dian " company In the service. When the three new applications- granted only three dozen red men \\vlil constitute company I. Almost every member of the company Is saving up mondy to purchase fils discharge.

' A hackman , In speaking of the arrest o'f ono of his companions last week on sus picion of having stolen a diamond from a customer , said that ho believed It 'was an Injustice that the name of the haclfmnn was published , while that of the man who lost the diamond was not divulged , although the latter was In a beastly state of Intoxication and was bent on having a high old lime. * From personssuch as this the hackmcn have no protection and frequently suffer n\uch. 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. Ho believes that an ordinance should bo pasted making It a misdemeanor not to bo able to scttlo a hack tilll after service has been rendered , and then drivers would bo protected and not fall , so often Into trouble through no fault of their own , ' Little pills for great Ills : Dowltt's Little Early Risers.

HOI STRANGE SIGHTS IN SEWERS What Has Been Been by Drawling Men in Rubber Suits. WORK OF THE CITY ENGINEER'S ' FORCE Itostilt of n , Trip.Through tlio HI ? Sewers of tlin Clly How They Are .Stand ing the Wear homo Curi osities Cnptiircil. Since the first of the year City Engineer Uosowatcr has had part of his force engaged In maklnc nn Inspection of the sewer system of the city , and some of the discoveries made are of a nature to Interest the average In dividual aa well as to attract the attention of the scientist. The Inspections arc made by men clad In rubber suits passing through with lights and noting the changes that have been made since the building of the sewers. Inasmuchas some of the sewers are largo enough to admit the pas sage of a man on horseback for miles , and others are four or flvo feet In diameter , this work Is not as difficult as It might seem nt 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 mich effects as would beef 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 bo BOOH seine of thu curiosities that have been brought to the light of day > by the men making the Inspection. Among them are pieces of u calcareous formation that was noticed In the sewers In the vicinity of Seventeenth street and St. Mary's avenue. They wore formed on the stalagmite and stalactite plan from a fluid that percolated through the walls of the sewer and dripped or ran down the walls of the sewer , the formation being undoubtedly promoted by chemicals In the sewage and the gases that are peculiar to such places. Amom : the other products of the darkness. warm moisture and foul air of the sewers arc mushrooms of the most varied and fan tastic forms , a tendency to n globular forma tion being especially noticeable , some ot the specimens appearing In the form of a cluster , bearing a striking resemblance to a bunch of grapes. Snow whlto 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 mlnths , or slnco the last heavy flow of water , or they would have been torn from their fastenings and washed away. , Ono of the discoveries of the Inspectors has tended to upset the theory that many engineers havn held up' to this time , and that Is that the heaviest wear at a bend In a sewer has been at the outsldo of the curve. The observations ot the" Inspectors show that the wear Is at the Insldo of the curve , nnd this is explained by the engineer on the theory that while the centrifugal force throws the water to the outer or farther sldo In passing around the curve , the sediment' and Ingredients carried along by the water , being heavier than the water Itself , are not so thrown out , but rub along at the bottom near the Inner side , and to their grinding Is duo 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 thp. 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 ot a heavy rainfall. 1'OVlt A ffl > A 11ALV AL-1KVK.

Annual Stockholder * Mooting of the Onmhn A orlatlcn. The eleventh annual meeting of the stock holders of the Omaha Loan and Building as sociation was held Wednesday ovenlng at the office of the association , 1701 Farnam street , Bco building , The at tendance was greater than at any previous meeting of the association , and the number of the shares voted was double that of last year. The election of three directors occupied considerable time , being conducted by five Judges and clerks. About 1,200 votes were cast. The election resulted In the choice of Messrs. Thomas J , Fltzmorrls , E. A. Parmalco and C. W. Pat terson. Pending the count of the votes a meeting of the stockholders was held In an adjoining room. The reports of President G. W. Loomls and Secretary Nattlnger , which were read , explained in detail the business of the association for 1S93 , showing an encouraging Increase of business , "It Is exceeding grati fying , " said President Loomlx , "that wo are not only able to show a net profit on the business of last year of 8 per cent. AH you are all well aware , wo have passed through the worst period of financial disaster and business depression over known , and while commercial houses , banks and other kindred Institutions have gone to the wall , the local loan and building associations have with stood the strain and have .been able to pro tect the savings of their members. This Is the record of the "Omaha , " and while wo have not Increased our membership to the full extent desired , wo have certainly done well considering the times and the condi tions.Vc have Issued n largo amount of new stock during the year , and wore It not for the fact that some of our members were obliged during the hard times to withdraw , our showing would bo 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 the de crease of Incomes , to make use of the money saved with us. This , of course , has re duced the working capital of the association to some extent , but the new shares sub scribed have offset this loss , and wo are now justified In looking forward to a largo Increase In business. " The beneficial effect of the change from the serial to the Dayton plan , the president pointed out , was to bo 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 next three months. The certificates of In debtedness Issued on the maturity of the first scrlcsL two years ago were reduced from $23,300 to $3,500 during the year. "Tho association has been In business eleven years , " continued President Loomls , "and the total expense of conducting it for that time Is only $12428.02 , or a little moro than $1,100 per annum. During this period wo have Isued 7,785 nhares ot stock , of which 4,315'/6 have been redeemed , leaving S.ICO'X- outstanding.

A hurry call brought the patrol wagon to the house occupied by Mlsx N'elllo Ilrcnnan , Mr. Herman and his wife at Seventh and Leavcnworth streets last evening. There was reported to bo a serious and bloody fight In progress there , and that two persons had been assaulted and ono woman so se riously Injured that she way In a critical condition , When the officers got In that neighbor hood they were'mot by residents and urged to hurry before any ono was killed. The horses were on the gallop , and within a few moments they drew up at the scene of the conlllct , and Indeed everything Indicated a lively light. The house Is an old tumble-down affair , and when the officers approached they were treated to a sight. The first thing that met tholr gaze was n flat Iron coming through a window , then a chair coming through a door ; then a man was \jeen to come through the same aper ture faster than hootild have done without any forcible assistance , and landed on the sidewalk. Then a woman come out , and , with n club , hit the man who was al ready lying In the street suffering from the Injuries he had received while Inside , but she only hit him once when she was placed under arrest. The trouble arose In the afternoon. Mrs. Herman had said something to Nellie Ilrcn nan that she did not Ilko and without further ado Nelllo picked up a flatlron and threw It at Mrs. Herman. She struck the woman a very forcible blow , and , not satis- fled with that , she followed this up by un attack with a chair , then with a cup , .ami to wind matters up In keeping with the open ing she broke the platter , and after Mrs. Herman had left the house aim got to n place of safety Miss Dronimn continued lior delightful occupation of breaking all the furniture in the house and then breaking out * all the windows that were not already broken. She then proceeded to attack the men , and It was In this act that the police caught her when the arrest was made. When the fight was the hottest John Brcnnan , Jr. , came to the assistance of his sister and then Mr. Herman came to the aid of his wife , who was being badly worsted. Then the rumpus became general and blood , good and rich , was flowing very freely from largo and numerous gashes In various parts ot the bodies of the participants. The Brennan family is noted for Its pugilistic proclivities and very frequently the old man , his two sons'and some of his sons- in-law become mixed up In general melees and only desist when arrested , or they are unable longer to keep up the fight. Nellie , when taken to the station , pounded her fists against the Iron grating till they bled In her endeavors to frco herself. She swore vengeance on Mrs. Herman and said that one of the two would have to throw up the sponge _ when she got out , and then she would break" loose with a tirade of abuse for the benefit of the police , and then for n mo ment she seemed to have vented her anger , and quietness would once moro reign within the calm precincts of the city Jail. Nellie's brother , John , was also locked up and charged with fighting. DeWltt's Little Early Risers.- Small pills , safe pills , best pills. Landlord Wants Ills Itent. James and Mrs. Colllgan were arrested last night for trespassing.
