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.

Indians 11113 IMR Their Discharge from Unvlii

An alleged newspaper recently took ex
ceptions to an Item In The Bee which said
that the Indians in company I , Second In

On Wednesday of last week ono .Jndlan

the beginning of the weelc the company
contained only thirty-nine men , the
smallest in point of numbers of any In

the three new applications- granted

Complaint of u Ilacluuan. '
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 , '

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.

Under War Department Control.
MILWAUKEE. Feb. 10. The Telegraph ot
this city .has advices from Washington that
the house committee on appropriations has
tacked a clause to a bill which It recently
reported which , If the bill passes , will take
the control ot national soldiers homes from
tlc ( board of managers and place them en
tirely under the control ot the War depart
ment. The bill propose to amend section
4,831 of the revised statutes , under which the
board of managers have had full control ot
the national homes for nearly thirty years ,
so that the members of the board shall be
required to make un annual report to the
secretory of war , and repealing "all laws
or parts of laws that require tlio board to
audit and examine or authenticate the ac
counts of the treasurer and visit the homes
quarterly. "
The discovery of the proposed change has
created a sensation In Grand Army circles.
Veterans generally are opposed to it.

HOME BUILDERS.
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. Wo have made loans amountIng -
Ing to $263,300.of which there have been
canceled by maturity of flrsti'serles stock ,
$141,1)00. ) > Thls sum of $205,300 represents
about 300 different loans , and means that wo
liavo In reality built that number of homes
n this city ; Wo have paid to stockholders
$29GS27.26 , and as Interest 'andi earnings ,
$103,221.15.
The report of Secretary Nattinger cov
ered nearly thq same ground as that ot
'resident Loomls. The accompanying finan

A I.lxcly right.
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.

Landlord Wants Ills Itent.
James and Mrs. Colllgan were arrested
last night for trespassing. The y have lived
In. ono of Tom Murray's houses over on
Harney street for two or three years and
the rent they have been supposed to pay
never seemed to find its way Into the
pockets of the owner and legal proprietor.
Mr. and Mrs. Colllgan arc the same who
were arrested some time ago with Black
Horse and a couple of negroes who were engaged
gaged In a free-for-all fight , as a consequence
quence of some dispute as to which nf the
three possessed to the greatest extent the
affections of Mrs. Colllgan.

Foolish Woman !
You can't spare the time to meas
ure your Pcarlinc ? Well , that
helps us , but it's lucky for you
that an overdose of Pearline
does no harm. It's only extrava
gance. Beware of a dose ofl
. the imitations.
You can get just ns good work
with enough Pearline as with
too much , Use it as it
ought to be used , and don't
j waste it , and you can't think
that it's expensive. To get
the best results from Pearl
ine , use it just as directed. ' You'll save more of everything
than with anything else. If your grocer sends you an imita
tion , return it , please. JAMKS PVI.E , New York.
