The opera "Pinafore," which was given
so cuccessfully last February, is to be re
peated May 11 under the uusplies of the
Knlghta of Columbus for tho joint benefit
of St. James' orphanage at Ilcnson and
the Home of thn Good Shepherd at For
tieth and Jackson streets." While b'ilh in
stitutions: are widely known for noble char
itable works, the extent of th'olr beneficence
and their present condition are matters of
deep public interest.
The orphanage Is in charge of the Siater
of Mercy, under whose direction it was
built and equipped in 1891. The institution
Is a. model of cleanliness and the children,
whoso number varies from eighty to 100
throughout the year,, reflect In their up-
pearance the care bestowed on them.
Thanks to the healthy location and the un
failing vigilance of the good nuns, sick
ness is rarely found among th children.
In connection with the orphanage Is u

Protection for the Krrlng.
"The caro of homeless children Is a
charity thut cannot but touch the heart
of everyone, and this Is ns It should be.
There are those, however, who would re
fuse to extend a helping hand to erring
females, and yet there) Is no work dearer
to the heart of Him who Is rightly styled
the Good Shepherd, and who knew how
to throw the mantle of protection over
sinning woman, (jirnie have alleged that
the very existence of homes for this pur
pose Is an incentlvo to sin, whereus a
more unjust statement could scarcely be
made. As well might it be said that the
exlstenco of llfe-suvlng stations In their
vicinity would lead sea captains to bo less
watchful for the safety of their vessels.
But a small percentage of tho unfortunuta
women who enter these homes ever heard
of them until after their fall, and" none
are led Into sin by the hope of finding
shelter for their lost Innocence. The
gentler sex at least does not enter upon
a career of sin with the mime calm judg
ment that a man displays in starting a
business enterprise.
A l'ubllc Charity.
"The Good Shepherd home In this city Is
a public charity. It will receive within
lis walls all who are In need ot Its pro
tection. The courts frequently commit
wayward girls to this Institution, but makes
no provision for their support, so that
those In charge must needs look to the
generous-hearted citizens for assistance. It
is the only successful establishment In
the city having In view the reformation
of fallen women, and surely so deserving

one need only watch how the faces of the
children light up when their teachers movj

the spacious grounds surrounding the In
stitution.
Work of the t.ood Shepherds.
The Home of the Good Shepherd is of a
different nature, but one that appeals with
equal force to the charity of the public. It
was established In South Omaha about
eleven years ago and has been growing
constantly since that time. Rev. P. A.
MeCJoveru of St. rhllomenu's cathedral and
chaplain of the home, in reply to questions
as to the character of the work carried on,
aid:
The sisterhood Ahlih conducts the in
stitution have a two-fold object the pres
ervation of girls who are in danger of be
ing led Into a life of shame and the refor
mation of fallen women. Owing to lack of
means, their work in Omaha has so far
been confined to the latter chins. While
the Home of the Oood .Shepherd Is in
charge of a Catholic sisterhood, it Is ab
solutely non-sectarian in Its scope, many
of its inmates as a matter of fact belong
ing lo other denominations. Its doors, are
open to all unfortunate women, the only
requisite for admission being a sincere de
sire to reform. When the home moved to
Its present location, nearly five years ago,
it had sixty-five inmates, but the work has
grown until at present there are ITS. a fact
that has made necessary the erection of
the large and beautiful structure just be
ing completed.
"The Misters of the Oood Shepherd form
the most powerful agency In he world for
the reformation of fallen women, and their
success Is due, under heaven, to two
causes, vis: they work upon the moral na
tin e of their charges, and keep them con
ktantly occupied. A first-class laundry I
geneially one of the features of a Uood
Hlieplicrd home; here many of the penitents
are employed, while others are taken up
with plain and fancy sewing, and thus
their minds aie directed from their former
community In vain.'

BOYS IN JUVENILE COURT

All
of
Judge Kennedy had ft very busy session
In the Juvenile rourt Saturday morning.
There were fully a doxen boys to be looked
over and talked to. cautioned and put on
probation. Incorrigibility or abuse of other
boys were the tbar,es against mott of the
culprits, and as the lads are mostly school
attendants and only bad after school, -the
court was not very severe with them.
Parents accompanied nearly every boy,
just to see how the court does business,
and they all went avny frying that better
things could he expei led of itielr offspring
after the judge hud talked to ttxm kindly,
but with unmistakable warning that they
must behave here or at Kearney la the
Industrial school.
Trade conditions in Omaha and surround
ing territory last week were very satisfac
tory to all concerned. The weather was
not very conductive to a rapid movement
of lightweight goods, but in spite, of that
fact both wholesalers and retailers enjoyed
a nice trade. The explanation generally
given is that crop conditions out throuan
the country are very satisfactory and con
sequently farmers are willing to spend
th. Ir money and retailers aro willing to
anticipate their want. There seems to be
no doulit In the minds of merchants hut
what this is to be the most successful
season ever experienced. Whllo the cool
weather has had a tendency to cut down
tlio sale of lightweight goods, it has caused
a corresponding increase in the Halo of me
dium weight goods, and when warmer
weather docs come t lie lightweights will
have to move, so that, taRlng everything
into consideration, there seems to be little
cause for complaint.
Wholesalers report advance business as
being exceptionally good. With practically
no exceptions, the amount of goods sold
so far this season for fall delivery exceeds
the sales of the corresponding period of any
former year. Traveling men report that
bv far the majority of retailers sold out
f heavv aoods In Rood shape.
so that they will have to be liberal buyers
this year. That being the case, Jobbers
consider the outlook for future business us
being better tliuu usual.
There have been comparatively few mar
ket changes during the werk under review,
liven groceries have remained unusually
atcadv, but there is a good healthy tone to
the markel on practically all classes of
goods, and those In position to know pre
dict good firm markets for some time to
come.
Collections are said to be better than
usual at this time of year.
Keflned Sugar Abont Meady.
Wholesale grocers report the demand for
their line of good as being fully as good
as could reasonably be expected, all staple
and seasonable lines going into consump
tion at a rapid rate. Tho market is also
in good condition. So far ns refined grades
of sugar are concerned, there has been tig
change since last report, but raws are a
trifle easier. The demand, however, is rap
Idlv improving, wjtli every prospect of
there being u lively market in a short time.
The canned goods murket is reported us
being iro.rc active than It lias been for
some tin: past, but there has been no
change on either corn or tomatoes. I'resvnt
Indications are that the puck of tomatoes
this season will be less than it was a y.'ar
ago, but It Is thought that the pack will
be made at a lower cost, ns packers have
expieswed their determination not to pay
the prices for the raw material that tney
were forced to pay last year. Corn is mov
ing Into consumption rapidly, but the mar
ket Is without new' features.
i'rlcea on Columbia river salmon were
announced last week and are found to be
practically the same as thoee in force iust
season. Sardines have been marked up
again, this last advance being on three
quarter mustatdrt and amounting to 2 cents
per case, or to about 1 cent per tin. As the
supply of stock is now in small compass,
well controlled, and a there is llll a good
inaraiu for retailers, prices may go still
hieher.
rto far as can be learned very little inter
est is being taken In future canned goods
in anv hi'ciioii or tne country, it is tnougnt
that this condition will prevail until Ihcre
it. some decided change in the market.
In the line of dried fruits prunes are at
tracting considerable attention, as recent
be expected at this season of the year and
prices are without change. The demand
for fancy goods Is very active and all such
lines as olives are moving out at a very
rapid rate.
Dry Goods Fairly Active.
Very few dry goods merchants urrlvcd In
the city last week, hut their orders both
direct and through traveling salesmen were
numerous and liberal considering the time
of year. Owing to the exceptionally fine
prospects for bountiful crops, retailors
seem to be Inclined to anticipate their re
quirement so as to be sure and have am
ple stock to meet the needs of their custo
mers. Stocks of lightweight goods In the
country have not been broken to any great
extent owing to tho continued cool weather,
but, on the other hand, medium weight
goods Jiave been selling very freely, ro tltHt
merchants are not doing any complaining.
Oil the contrary, they are looking forward
to an active demand for summer weight
goods as soon as the proper weather ar
rives. Traveling men are meeting with very
good success In landing orders for goods to
be delivered In the fall. In fact Jobbers all
ngree that the amount of goods sold so far
If. In excess of the amount sold .during thn
corresponding period of any former year.
The general 1 m pi (.41-lull in tile country
seems to be that the consumption of dry
poods during the next few months will lie
greater than ever before, which doubtless
explains why merchants are buying so
lreely.
The markPt on cotton goods Is in a good
strong position, rind particularly is thHt
true of plain goods, such as sheetings and
drills. That Is owing In part to the heavy
export demand and to the light stock in
both manufacturers and jobbers' hands.
Hardware in Oood Demand.
The demand for all Btaple and seasonable
lines of hardware continues very brisk uud
far In excess of a year ago. The rainy
weather of last week cheeked the demand
to some extent, hut taking the week as u
whole jobbers hud plenty of biiHluehs. He
ports from the country all tend to show-
that there Is to be an Immense amount of
building throughout the territory tributary
to this market, whlcn means that there will
ra an enormous demand for such lines as
carpenters' tools, hulldeis' hardware, naiis
and that class of aoods. liesides that, all
such lines as poultry netting, wire cloth,
screen uoors. refrigerators, sluel goods and
in fact all seasonable lines are selling more
mpiaiy man ever nerore. Jobbers are hav
ing some trouble to secure the goods tap
Idly enough to inept the demnnd, but so
far hav taken good care of their custo
mers. There is no doubt In the minds of
v.-holealers but what they are aomg to
reak all previous records this vear as re
gards volume of business.
1 Here lias been practically no rhanue 111
the market during the week under review.
Prices are firm all along the line and
higher prices In many cases are being pre
dicted. Owing to the heavy demand in all
sections of the country and to the fact thut
manufacturers are uemnd with their or
ders there does not seem to be any room
for lower prices for muny months to come.
No ( hanae In Leather Moods.
The leather goods situation is much Hie
