DOING MUCH FOR OMAHA Workof-tho Young Men's ' Christian Associa tion Described by Mnjor Halford , WHY IT SHOULD BE WELL SUPPORTED It * llnnrllln Comlilerrd from n I'urcly Secular .Standpoint Kirrclip lit the Jtcopcnlng YrMcriliiy Afternoon C'hecrlng 1'roipcct. The reopening exercises of the Young Men's Christian association were held yester day afternoon at 3:30 : In the auditorium. The rain .prevented a larga atendance , still there was a fair number of people present , members of the association , and not a few citizens who are Interested In Its work. President Fisher nnd several members of the board of directors were on the platform , The exercises were opened by un orchestral prelude. Next followed a vocal solo by Miss Myrtle Coon , entitled "Heaven Hath Sent a Tear , " by Kuckcii. Miss Coon was to have been accompanied by Mrs. Fuchs , but the latter was absent , obliging Mls.1 Coon to ac company herself on the piano. She sang with much brilliancy and sweetness , while Herr Adelmann played a violin obllgato to the sung. Dean Gardner then read a scripture lesson from the Psalms , followed by the hymn , "Soldiers of Christ , Arise. " Hev. Dr. Hel- llngs led In prayer , nnd after another hymn had been sung , Major Halford ninde the opening address. He alluded to the work that had been done In readjusting the rooms ot the association , nnd commended to the people of the , clty the necessity nnd privilege of contributing to the further furnishing and equipment of the association building. The library needs books , the walls need pictures , and the rooms need such furniture as will render them moro homollko nnd at tractive. And In addition to that , the asso ciation should have the financial support of the citizens ot Omaha. The present fiscal year , which closes on the 1st of May , will show n deficit of only about $1.2."iO , which must be raised promptly by those who are Interested In the association work. The ex cess of expenditures above the revenues for the year. Is about $ .1,000 , but ot this amount nearly $1,800 has been pledged , leaving the amount to bo raised , as stated. Mr. Halford thought that such an association as this should not be self-sustaining ; there ought to bo u margin above the receipts that should be given by those who carry Its work on their hearts. WORK BEING DONE. The balance sheet of the Omaha associa tion , considering the financial depression of the year , Is quite remarkable and highly gratifying. Other cities of about the same population as Omaha pay much moro to the association work than Omaha citizens are called upon to do. Denver , Kansas City and other places ore asked to contribute from $5,000 to $10,000 a year. It Is doubtful whether the business men and citizens of Omaha really know and appreciate the amount of effective work for young men the association has done and Is doing. There nro about 1,200 active members , and 1,000 young men come into the rooms each day and Into actual touch with the appliances and work of the association. For the benefit - fit of these 1,000 men the association offers a thoroughly equipped reading room , with all the leading newspapers and periodicals , of the country. It has the. nucleus of a good library. It has a fine gymnasium , un der a competent physical director. Lectures are given upon business , law and physical topics , so that men nro made to understand the principles of commercial law nnd edu cated as to how they may best take care of their'boiHos. Tlio Jaw le.ctjircs during thp past winter have been'-attended by an aver age of 112 young men , and the lecturers have been among the foremost Judges and practicing attorneys at the Omulm bar. The leading physicians of the city have heartily given their services upon the culture of the organs ot the body. The Current Topic club , which Is organized for the discussion ot the leading questions of the day , and presided over by Rev. Dr. Dur- yea , has had an a virago attenda'nco of eighty members. The books of the nssoclatloli also show where young men cm secure f5ood boarding houses , where they will bo .surrounded by the best influences and upon terms within the reach ot those who are receiving the lowest average wages and salaries. The educational classes have hud 320 pupils enrolled , and nt the conclusion of the course this spring 258 participated in the graduat ing exercises , receiving diplomas showing that they 'hnd attended a fulliooiirse of les- cons in the subjects which' these night classes off.'r to young men. ' In nddltlon ( o these , material-and secular features , the spiritual Jntsrests'ot the asso ciation have been carefully guarded. The evening prayer service has hndj an average atendanca of over thirty , the young men's meeting on Sunday afternoons , 175 , nnd the after meetings about sixty. There arc' blblo clauses and teachers' classes and a fellow ship cotnmlttteo , so thnj every afternoon and every night of the week the Christian pnrt of the association Is nctlvely carried forward. With the newly equipped rooms It wilt be the aim to put new llfo nnd Interest Into all these varied forms of activity. NECESSITY OF IT RECOGNIZED. After giving these facts and figures Major Hulford strongly urged the necessity of the Young Men's Christian association In the ' 'present conditions of life. That It Is a recognized necessity is demonstrnted from the fact that although but fifty years ago the first association was formed In a small way , now Micro are moro than -1,000 asso ciations In the world , and they nro to bo found In every country In Christendom. The nccossity of them Is recognized by business men everywhere. There are moro than forty railroad asso ciations. Tim Intelligent railroad manager would not think of billdlng | n first class railway station In any city or town In the country without providing for association work ns n necessary adjunct. Corporations have no souls , but the managers of corpora tions have good sense and Intelllgont'judg- ment. They have cometo know that In the management of a business which requires the very highest typo of man , no Influences uro moro valuable than the Influences of the Young MUII'S Christian njsoclatlon , and real izing this , they provide for the association and put their money Into It. A. T. Stewart , the merchant prince , after looking Into the work of the Young Men's Christian assoclatlbn , gave his check for $10.000 , not for any other reason than that ho was a largo employer of young men. and his business needed young men of Integrity of purpose , of correct habits , ot disciplined life young men who had the right kind of surroundings and associations , and who had In them the Inspiration to the highest man liness. What A. T. Stewart did. business men nro everywhere doing. The Young Men's Christian association does not have to apologize for Itself , or to beg the pardon of the community for existing. It U here to' stay. Its work speaks for Itself , and bus iness men , simply upon thu lower ground ot EQlllshne.ss , understand and appreciate that It Is one ot the organizations to which they are to contribute. It has a work to do similar to that of the public schools , and of the public libraries , and of such other agencies as society , In Its organized capacity , 1ms found to bu necessary In order to con serve good citizenship nnd to save the state from tliti Influences of thosi degrading forces which everywhere are alert to spoil and ruin men. This view ho strongly Impressed upon the business men , the bankers , and all who may bo Interested In what ls really1 Omaha. Not streets lined with blocks ot nmi tvo buildings , not ulono beautiful homes , not bunks and stocks and bends and morchandlso make the city these might all bo wiped out by some euddcn conflagration , but the men , the manhood and the 'munllngst ot Omaha would remain , and from ULCHO could canlly bo bulldod another and a greater Omaha. Whatever , therefore , tends to the development , 'tho strotngtli of theu ) vital forces. Is wlmt should enlist the gympathy , engage the thought , and command and receive support from all. It Is the young men , the clerks , the employes and waga earners of today that should recclvo the at tentive care of the banker , the merchant , the capitalist , the employer. Thousands ot young moil without homes stand In the streets of Omaha , with their social natures exposed to every temptation and allurement. Upon these young men the ( uture ot the city Is to rest , and the wise citizen Is the one who will do his utmost to so surround them that they may bo Inspired and helped Into the highest manhood and developed Into tlio strongest citizenship , "SUAV1TBK IN MODO. " Rev. Frank Crane next delivered an ad dress , Mr. Crane said that ho had a bad habit of never being nblo to speak without a text. He saw the motto In mosaic tit the new city linll , "Fortltcr In Re , " nnd It Im mediately suggested to him the other part of the motto , "Suavltcr In Modo. " So ho do- clded to use that motto na his text. For the benefit of his hearers Mr. Crane explained that "Fortltcr In Re" meant "Firm In prin ciple , " and "Suavltor In Modo. , "Smooth In manner. " Ho made a very happy applica tion of the text to the affairs ot the associa tion , said Mr. Ober was decidedly "Fortlter In Ro" In nil the different branches of the nssoclntlon , and paid a trlbuie to the Omahn association , In which he declared tjiat It was strong nnd mnnly , ftnd had none of.that namby-pamby manner which Is sometimes to bo found In such. "Suavltcr In Modo" should also have Itn place , ho said , and to firmness of principle , strength of character , there should ha added pleasant manners nnd hearty good fellowship with all who came within the doors of the association. The exercises were concluded by another hymn. "Work for the Night Is Coming , " nnd the assembly was dismissed by Dean Gardner. The association rooms will bo open , right along now , nnd nil young men nro earnestly Invited to make them their home. The well known nctor-orator , Robert Nourso , will" fle- llver his great dramatic oration , "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde , " tonight , fo bo followed Tues day night with "The Hells" nnd Wednesday night with another subject , the process to bo used for further furnishing the rooms.

"It shows , " said Hart today , "the ad vantage of getting Into shape nt home , when ? the men will bo acclimated ns they train. Take our record when the teutn In previous years has gone south. In the opening games Anson was always com pelled to use two or three pitchers , and even nt that we did not win. This year we have played three games , winning them alt , and one pitcher has lasted through each game , which Is something unusual for the Chlcasos In the spring. The men are In better condition than they ever were at this time before. Our pitchers , too , nre showing tip better than was expected.

The board met last evening to canvass the returns , but the license folks presented n pretest against the board canvassing the re turns" , unless It should agree to have the matter settled by tha casting of lots. After considerable parleying this was agreed to and the protest was withdrawn. Tlio clerk was Instructed to conduct the casting of lots , assisted by the four candidates. Four cards with the names of the candidates written thereon nnd four blank cards were prepared , placed In a hat , well shaken together and the clerk , standing with his baclc to the hat , drew for the candidates. The first two draws were blanks , the next a license candidate. The next two were no-license candidates , which g.ivo the election to the no-license folks. The board now stands 0. W. Patton , K. II. Buck and C. II. Wullbrandt for 110 license , and O. S. Crnno and Ed Costello for license. The now board at once procod-d to qualify and were duly sworn In. C. H.

( Special to The Boa. ) The surreptitious removal of the bodies of a man nnd an infant from the Catholic cemetery near Eddyvllle to the Protestant cemetery at Sunnier , nine miles away , has embittered a trouble of long standing between two Irish families In this county , caused much excitement among the friends of each and gossip In the whole com munity. Several years ago the McCullough family , Protestant , from the north of Ireland , took up a claim adjoining the farm of the Mo- Intecs , Catholics , and In good circumstances. The two families did not get along well to gether , and In the spring of IS'Jl Lizzie Mc Cullough seriously complicated the situation by eloping with Barney Mclntee , and ac cepted , It Is sild , his faith at the same time she accepted him. The death of the young husband a year later did not assuage the bitterness on either side , for the c.ire of his property , which was ot considerable value , naturally fell Into the hands of his widows family. Some months ago she burled her baby by the side of her husband , and then It was that the possession of the key to the cemetery lot by the Mclntees became an Intolerable aggrava tion , because It prevented her from standIng - Ing by the side of her baby's grave. Soon after this she desired that the bodies of both husband and child be removed to the Sunnier cemetery. An attempt In this direction was frustrated by the watchfulness of ono of the husband's brothers , but a second and suc cessful effort was made the night following. The aged parents of the deceased , being ardent Catholics , are almost crazy by the removal of their son's remains to a spot that , aside from the fact of Its being unhal- hewed In their eyes , Is very Inconvenient for them to visit.

The first three or four meetings were held In the Methodist church , but the crowds soon became too. largo for the limited accom modations , nnd a largo empty store room was secured , and it has been crowded almost to suffocation every night for over a week. People are coming from miles In every di rection and almost 200 converts have been made. Farmers are waiting anxiously for rain to moisten the hard , dry ground sufficiently for plowing for corn. Wheat is all In nnd some of It coming up. Th9 acreage Is the largest ever sown In this vicinity. The water works bonds voted by this vil lage last fall have not yet been sold. It Is the Intention of the Incoming board of trustees to push the matter and get the work started early In the summer. Despite the hard times local merchants are doing a fair business. Not a single failure has been recorded hero during the panic , and with the prospect of a good crop this season confidence nnd prosperity will bo resumed. n K : I'lro nt ( irnuin.

Hopes were called for , and It WHS with dif ficulty that the Indignant crowd was quieted. When peaeo was restored cooler heads pro posed that no violence should bo done. U was decided to give the brute fifteen minutes to leave town , and a body of nearly 300 determined men marched In good order to the house of llalstead'n mother , but ho had been warned nnd had made his escape. The search was continued , but to no avail. The crowd went to the house of the family nnd assured the wife that he need have no tear of further trouble , as the people of Decatur would not tolerate her husband's presence.

While "The Still Alarm" is responsible for much of the sensational stuff mapnuor- ndliur under the guise of melodrama. "The Police Patrol" Is the bljrgest winner hlnct- the days when Harry Lucy exploited the deeds of the paid lire department. Al though the plot ot "The Police Patrol" Is very slender. It Is primarily u study of character , written with a view of giving the public fin Insight Into the workings , of the police department of the big cities ami particularly of Chicago , the scene of the story. Last nliiht "The Police Patrol" i was produced for the Ilrst tlmo In this city lit the Fifteenth Street theater and played to the capacity of the house , the play meetIng - Ing with Instantaneous success. The sen sational features which are Introduced , the dash of the horses from their stalls nn.l . the lightning hitch , the call from the patrol box and the rescue of the captain from the rascally detective by the patrol guard , would carry a play through without n single other feature , but there are u num ber of specialty people In the cast who contribute to the successful performance. The piny runs with smoothness , unil like all melodramas points .1 moral , which was accepted with rounds of applause by the audience. Among the people who do good work are Charles Chappcll , who plays the bluff , big-hearted Captain Hardy , a police olllcer ; 11. W. Ilrynnt , Clarence Aspen , while Eddie Glguere , as u newsboy , made much of a rather minor character , while his "yodelling" was ono of the artistic I features of the performance. Muttle I-ockette Is a winsome soubrette , while j Lorena Atwood makes a lovable heroine. Taken ns a whole "The Police Patrol" Is ' the best of the up to date sensational melo dramas en tour.
