BISHOP SCANNELL AT THE CATHEDRAL Vpfclnl KirrcUn lit Vnrlon diuretic anil n (frnrrnl Olrliriitlon III the OvenlMK nt WiihIiImk ton Unit, IrUh-Amrrlcnns of Omaha observed St. Patrick' dny In becoming atylo. The weathor was delightful. A balmy breeio laden with nprlnn-llko softness jet a-flutter tbu generous display of green ribbon, which provnllcd overywhero and the aunahlne waa warm enough to render top coats unneces sary. The- principal fenluro of tho day, aside from church (unctions, was n celebrntlon at Washington hall In tho evening, where a program of speeches, recitations and music was rendered. Tho day was spcclnlly observing In nil tin Catholic churches. At tho cathedral, Illshop Soanncll delivered an exhaustive sermon, In ahlch he touched upon Irish affairs. This anniversary of St. Patrick brought out scvernl new and pretty designs of fcrecn, In which tho Bhamrock nppenrs as tha central figure. At llir Cntlirilrnl. An audience befitting the occasion In numbers crowded 8t. 1'hllonicua'a cathe dral at 10:30 hervlce, Sunday morning. Every pew was filled and oxtra rhalrs were placed In I bo aisles to accommodato tho throng of worshipers. The delightful weather that ushered In "the day wo celebrate" nud tho fact that lit. ltcv. Illshop Srnnnell was to prencli combined to mako tho festnl occasion a potable ono In the records of tho cathedral. Decorations woro wholly absent from tho chutch. The altar waa bare of color, and Its spotless white. Illumined by scores of candles, formed n fitting background for the bril liantly robed clergy In tho sanctuary. High mass was celebrated by llev. Father MrGovern, assisted by Knthor Car roll ami Stlnsnn, Illshop Scaunull was at tended by Fnthcrs Colenarl, Jcannolteo and Kelly. A special musical program wui rendered by tho choir, under tho direction of MIhs Morgaret Swift. Illshop Scnnncll delivered his sermon In a low conversational tone without nny tit tempt at orntorlcul flourishes, but so closely was ho listened to that his words sounded clear nnd distinct In the farthest part of the auditorium. Many of his sen tences so thrilled his auditors that they with difficulty repressed the deslro to ap plaud. I'criiinui'iiry of l'litrlck'H l.nlior. Ill his opening remarks Illshop Scanned briefly reviewed tho llfo of St. Patrick and directed 'his attention to thn one character istic of his labors, tbu permanency of his missionary work. Ho suld in part: Tho convention of the Irish people to Christianity was a lusting conversion. Tho Irish people, us a people, have iilwnyn hum faithful to tho tnichlifg which St. l'.itrlcfc proposed to tlu-lr forefathers fifteen cen turies ago. What greater pnilso can wo glvo n people than to Hiiy of them thnt they have been a faithful people thnt tlny huvu liei.n faithful and trim to t.he ciiuve, or the caiiHi'C, which they Judged the best nnd the holiest"; And such n people, havo been I ho Irish people. They have been true to fa llh anil fatherland; and In this respect the history of no nation supplies a nobler record than dm-H that of the Irish people. They wi-ru truo nnd loyal to God and coun try, not only In the duyn of their pros Verity, when Ireland whs the Iidund of Huliits nnd Scholars, but also In thn days of mlvoislty, Kor days of ndvoridty Ml xipon tho Irish people dark days, and days of hitter und prolonged sorrow. Thrlr country was laid waste, their schoolH were outlawed, their churches wero destroyed or handed over to the stranger, tho religious I'otnmuultlcH wero suppressed ami their property conllscated, tho same price, v.'as offered for the head of n wolf and tho head of n priest, and the best nnd bravest ef the laud suffered tho loss of all thing:', even of life itself, for the sake of faith nnd fatherland, HlHtur.t ' llurkfNt 1'iik. Thorn Is many iv dark page in tho his tory of tho human nice many u pni:o that tells of man's Inhumanity to man, hut In ull human history there Is no record that surpasses In barbarism and mullgulty that of tho penal laws n Ireland. Tho Jews, In tho days of their captivity, wept by the rivers of Kaliylon over tho sorrows of their beloved Jerusalem; nnd so did tho Irish people, weep during tho penal days over tho sorrows of their church and their native laud. Who can describe the depth of their sorrow and humiliation7 They were robbed of their nil ami then wero reproached with their poverty. A nrlco was se.t on the head of the schoolmaster nnd then they wero reproached with their Ignorance. Mlrgnvernment caused hun dreds of thousands of them to die of star vation nnd drove others by tho million Into exile. And tho ungenerous oppressor, not satlslled with the ruin which tin had brought on them nt home, pursued them over the world with his reproaches and calumnies. Kugllsh llternturo of tho last century Is full of Insults mid gibes aimed nt tho Irishman nnd his ways. Kven our own American press has not been utile to escnpo altogether this sinister Inlluenco; mid, for want of better knowledge rather than through Ill-will, It serves up, day nfter day, for tho amusement of tho pub Ho tho supposed sayings and doings of Jrlrhmon things that no Irishman over nald or did, or. Indeed, could say or do, for on their faco these things show that they urn the Inventions of a dull-witted tribe. They havo their solo source In r.iclnl animosity and In that vlndlctlveness which ever seems to bo tho feeling of the op pressor toward the oppressed. Now 1 do not mention those thing') for In Omaha Pulpits Neal Dow, tho Illustrious Maine pro hibition's!, waH eulogized by Kev. Clydo Clay Clssell yesterday morning nt Hanscom Park Methodist church, The approaching anniversary of tho birthday of tho great re former Inspired the tribute Hev. CIbscII paid to his memory. "Uvery ngo has its heroes, men who dare to do what they believe, to bn right, men who nro not afraid to slnnd nlono nnd dt feud principles at which godlesB men scoff," sold tho preacher. "Neal Dow was notublo among tho heroes of tho nineteenth con tury. Ho had courage equal to that of men who faco tho cannon and do not flinch In tho faco of the enemy's bullets. "Neal Dow was responsible for the pro hibition law which stands on the statute books of Maine. Ho succeeded In having tho law enacted nnd created public Hontlmeut which has enforced that law. To him can bo traced tho relentless war which has been waged ogalnst tho liquor trnfflo In tho United States. Ho was tho father of pro hlbltlon, tho greatest tempernnco worker of his age. "Tho world needs many Neal Dowb. It needs men who nro fearless and do not hesitate to denounce a wrong aud seek re forms. And tho world has many men of this sort. In city nnd state nnd nutlonal gov ernments conscientious meu nro correcting evils. Thero nro men In tho Nebraska legls latum who havo been fearless In their op position to bills which would have worked ngalnst tho best Interests of tho public." Importance of Faith, llev, I'oter Itobcrtson of Cincinnati preached at tho Firbt I'rebbyterjnn church yesterday mornlug. "Justification by Faith" was tho subject of the sermon In which llev, Kobortson emphasized the Importance of faith In Uhrlst and showed that It Is es sential to salvation. "Faith Is tho basis of n consistent Chris tian life," said the preacher. "Without faith tt Is Impossible to realize tho bless ings of n llfo eternal. Good deeds and a vlttuous life will not bring about the, sal vation of a man, who has. not faith," Ura. George McLcran of Chicago, formerly ' thn purpose of reviving bitter memories, i or of Intensifying national antipathies. Such a purpose would tie unbosoming In 1 this place and on this oecaslm. und It would not be Christina in nny plain or nt nny time. Itaolal or national iintlp.ithteii nave iieen tun rurse or ine niininii rue. Ambitious und unscrupulous rulers havo always traded on these antipathies, and for their own selfish purposes havo ar rayed peoiilo against peoplo In Icadly strife, urging" them on to sncrlflco their lives and promising them glory us their soln rownrd. Glory! As though truo glory could tic won by pillage, nnd niuesn cre. Poor human racel Certainly I do lot condemn nationalities, or object to them. On the contrary, I should llko nil peoples to retain their national chitruc torlstlcs so far us these nro good In them selves and helpful to the people. Hut thn human race Is, after all, ono In origin mid destiny, nnd nationalities but Indi cate find hum! down ncldcntnl peculiarities. All peoples have their faults, even the Irish people. And It may be. If tho case had been reversed and tho Irish had been the stronger people. It may bo th.it they would not have always acquitted them selves with strict Justice toward tho weaker nation. Kven wo Americans, with our buusted love of liberty, ate we not doing things today that many of tha best nnd wisest of our peoplo condemn nnd re pudiate ns far ns they can? iN'or do I wish to Imply that nil Huglishmcn npprovo of the dark deeds that hnve been dono In Ireland In the past. I prefer to liellova that to many of them those deeds nro the source of shnmo and humiliation. And nil history tenches that religious animosity, especially when It becomes fanaticism, can lead to frightful excesses. It Is vain to expostulate or reason with fanatics with those who think, ns h well-known writer puts It, that through unbelievers' blood lies their dlrectest path to henven, All thnt wo enn do Is to reprobato their deeds whlln we pity themselves. I refer to these things of tho pnst solely to give you nn Idea of thnt wonderful fidelity tn thnt heroin fortitude which enabled the Irish people, hh a people, to survive tho penal days nnd to hnnd down to 'their dsccnd lints the faith which St. Patrick bud preached to their forefathers In tho fifth century. Present and l'liturc. Respecting the present nnd the futurn tho bishop said there had been n marked Improvement In tho temporal condition of tbo peoplo during tho past thirty or forty years. Oppressive laws havo boon modified, facilities for education Increased, nnd the rights of the people In many ways secured Hut tho Irish people, ho doclarcl, havo within thnt period In many ways de teriorated nnd have been losing many of their best national characteristics. Ho re joiced to know that concerted efforts' wero now being mado to check the backwnrd tendency nnd ro-establlsh thoso racial characteristics which distinguish tho Irish rrom other peoples. Tho chief means to that end Is tho restoration of tho Irish language ns tho common language of tho peoplo. So well has tho Innguago movomcnt progressed In thn last year or two that It. gives reasonable assurances of success. In conclusion the bishop snld: If Irishmen do not always commund the respect or tho confidence of their fnllow clllzcus. It Is largely due to tho fuel that they allow themsel cs, too often, to bo led by unworthy men self-appointed lead ers, for whose misdeeds they nro held re sponsible. Irishmen hnvn never been re garded us wanting In physical couragu. Let them also not b wanting In moral courage. I-ot them havo tho courage to thrust aside and repudiate, In every case anil without hesitation, thoso so-cnlled Irishmen whoso lives nnd conduct show that they are not tit to ussoclato with de cent nnd honest men. And never ullow your nice to bo reviled or burlesqued If, by lawful means, you cun prevent It. Never sit quletiy by whllo th.it vulgarian, called tho stago-lrlahman. Is doing his best to bring ridicule on your people. If you enn do nothing elso you can rlso ami walk out and absent your self from such exhibitions In the future. Anil If every other Irishman and Irish woman will do tho snme. nnd they will do It If they have proper self-respect, these outrages will ceaso to be profitable and will soon como to an end. Those who trulv respect themselves will be respected br others. For the Irish people, true to themselves, truo to the spirit of their forefathers, loynl to the best traditions of tho Irish raco und fnlthrul to Uod I nugur n futuro that will be worthy of a meritorious past. At Dtber l liiirclics. Tho service of the forty hours' devotion opened at St. Patrick's church Sunday morning nnd for that renson no especial St. Patrick day sermon was prenrhed.

"Tho history of tho Irish race Is unique In tho worfd. In the. fifth century on n holy Saturday tho king snt upon tho hills of Tara with his drulds nround him.
