Scones In a Sacred Sanc-
tuaiy.
No notice had been published in
the papcrn that the Franciscan Sisters
of St. Clarp , oai ihuy are more
familiarly known , the Sisters of Poor
Olaro , were on Friday to bo enclosed.
Neither had it boon announced that a
reception of postulants wus to take
place in the Poor Cl.iro convent.
Dcspito thuao facts , however , the
knowledge of both occurrences had
traversed the cily , and , na a consequence
quence , the convent on the hill north
west of Croighton college was on that
afternoon crowded by both curious
and interested people to witness both
of the novel coromonicH.
"iiEOEi'iioNs IN HEUQION"
are not of iroquont occurrence in
Omaha. That of Friday was the first ,
and most widely known for several
years. As a rule Catholics are pretty
familiar both with the moaning and
the importance of a religious recep
tion. To these who are not of that
belief , the term has a vague and in
definite meaning. TVir the informa
tion of the latter , it may bo necessary
to state that a reception in religion ,
in n convent , is the ceremonial
whereby young ladies are admitted to
the probationary state called the nevi
tiate. Before the ceremony of recep
tion , a preparatory state must bo
passed through by the candidate , the
duration of which ranges from two to
twelve months. During this period
thu candidate is known as
A 1'OSTULANT.
The ceremony of the reception is
performed by the bishop , or a priest
delegated by him , nnd consists in
blessing thu religious dross or habit
and investing the postulant therein ,
appropriate prayers the while being -
ing said by the officiating clergy.
The cloistering of nuns is still more
rare in this country. It consists in
the withdrawing , entirely and forever
from the world , of the sisters who become -
como inclosed with the Franciscan
Sisters ol Poor Clare , the order with
which this nrticlo deals , this with
drawal means the closing in behind
the wnllH of the convent , removed
oven from the dearest relative or
friend of the ladies who compose the
urdor. They never leave the convent
unless it bo to labor in the garden ;
they
KKVKU OA/.K Ul'ON THK PAUK OPMOHTAIi
outside the convent enclosure , and
never moot , unless in cases of import
ance , and then the conversation must
bo carried on with the suitor behind n
curtained lattice , through which facial
recognition is itnpotsiblo. The atton-
unt clergyman of the convent never
sees the faces of the members of the
community. When thu latter approach
communion , they receive the Blessed
Sauramont through an aperture in a
curtained lattioo on ono aide of the
chapel , It is not necessary to go
further into details as regards the pu-
cular atricknosa of the order , both as
regards
IIIHUII'LINH ANU BK'JLUSION.
To do BO would transcend the limits
of a newspaper article. Sufficient has
boon said to explain one of the princi
pal exactions of the community ,
The reception and cloistering took
place in the little chapel of the con
vent. The chapel is properly intended
for a community of about fif'oon
people. Ton times that number were ,
durini > the ceremonlcr , of Friday , con
tained within it and the adjoining
rooms. Of the visitors , a largo num
ber were of protostunt denominations ,
drawn thither by a respectful cur
iosity. The ceremony must have boon
particularly interesting because nearly
every looVor-on remained throughout.
At four o'clock Bishop O'Connor ,
attended by Fathers Oolanori , Shatlbl ,
McCarthy and Martin , entered the
sanctuary. The three postulants oc
cupied convenient positions before the
communion rail. On the Bishop's
turning to the postulants , the lattoi
rose , approached
THE FOOT Ol' THK ALTAH ,
kncolcd , prostrated slightly , and rose
Then followed a number of prayora
from the ritual , read by the Bishop
nnd attendant clergy. These was fol
lowed by the blessing of the habit ,
which in turn was succeeded by other
prayers , the "Veni Creator , " and an
other short prayer , by the Bishop.
The last prayer said the Bishop , ad
dressing one of the postulants , naked :
"Daughter , what dost thou ask ? "
The postulant , rising amid the sur
rounding and eager witnesses and
listeners , and drcssnd in white satin ,
with flowing veil and wrtalh of flow
ers upon her head , oven as a bride , in
n firm tone answered and said : "My
Lord , I ask the grace and mercy of
God to consecrate myself in the order
of the eeraphic Father of St. Franch
and of thu glorious mother St. Clare. "
So answering , she returned to her
KNEnLINO POSITION.
The eamo question was asked of the
second and third postulant , each of
whom , apparelled like the first , rising
in turn , made answer as above.
The answers over , the postulants
were abkcd to bo seated. The bishop
then addressed them upon the naturu
and impottanco of the step they were
about to take and concluded with
Homo very u'overly spoken sentences
of advice and nicely framed requests
for prayer for themselves , their order ,
the pope , the city , their friends , the
vicariate and th'u church.
.Rising nt the conscloaion of his re
marks , the bishop , addressing the
postulants , each in turn , asked : "My
daughter , do you still persevere in the
request you hayo made ? "
The postulants ntanding , each in
turn answered , "My Lord , I only
sigh after
THE HAPPY MOMENT
which shall separate mo forever from
the .world. "
The bishop then said , ' 'God grant
you this grace , " to which nil the at
tendant clergy answered "Amen. "
The postulants then took n kneeling
position iu the middle of the sanctu
ary , and from the head of each the at
tendant Sisters removed thu wreath of
flowers , substituting therefor n wreath
of thorns , , the placing of which upon
the tender heads produced a chill in
the sympathetic heart of maay a
looker-on.
Thu blessing of the dark brown
dross of the order , the capo and veil ,
the rosary and cincture followed ,
each article in turn being bestowed
upon the several postulants in the or
der mentioned , nnd
nnoEiVEO WITH A KISS.
In the hands of the three ladies
was then placed a lighted taper , and
with these in their hands the postu
lants , as also the attendant sisters ,
withdrew. During the absence of
both sisters and postulants the clergy
road a number of psalms for the
ceremonial , at the conclusion of which
both sisters and novices appeared
behind the grating which separates
the chnpel from the sisters' auditory ,
on the west side of the building.
Kneeling

each lady received her nnmo in re

The first lady , Miss Lucy D.
Tucker , of West Troy , received Sis
ter Mary uf St. Antoni ; the second
lady , Miss T. Brady , of Jersey City ,
received Sister Mary of St Clare , and
the third , Miss 0 Birmingham , of
Louisville , Ky. , Mary of St. Agnes.
The bishop addressed the ladies
again in encouraging words , and fol
lowed by giving each postulant a c > py
of the rule of the order , saying :
"Take , my daughter , this holy rule
and observe it in ouch way , that you
may seine day deserve thu reward
promised to a faithful soul. "
The mistress of novices was re-
quoatod to receive the postulants , und
to so direct thorn that they might soon
ncquiru the virtues that ought to dis
tinguish daughters of St. Olure.
The "To Down1' was then read by
the elergy , and followed by a few
prayers , and then it was
ALL OVEll.
The clergy withdrew from the chape ) ,
followed by the people who had witnessed -
nossod the symbolic and edifying cere
monials.
A last view of the sanctuary com

scene , nnd the recumbent forms of

SOME HKART UCNDINO FACTS
in reference to theee persecuted pee
ple. Through the kindness of Sir. J.
Harris , who has found room for
thirty-hvo of them , the reporter was
enabled to see them in their temporary
ary homo at the corner of Tenth and
Farnam. On communicating his er
rand the Bcribu was received in a very
gracious manner , and the men showed
themselves very willing to toll what
they know.
There are 151 persons in the party
and among them are representatives
of a great many trades and callings of
every description. When asked as to
whether the accounts published in the
papers wore exaggerated or not they
replied with great warmth that the
real state of affairs was much worse
than had been represented here. In
the city of KiefT , where they came
from
EVEUY CONCEIVABLE AT110II1TY
had been committed on the nnfortun-
iuo people without regard to DCS or
aero. Some of these atrocities are BO
horrible in their nature that they are
totally unfit for publication.
Shortly before they loft Koiff a largo
body of Cossacks , armed to the teeth ,
took the Jowiah quarter by storm ,
pillaging and burning the houses by
wholesale , violating the women and
killing and torturing the men. Tears
came into the eyes of ono intelligent
looking middle-aged man when ho re
lated the narrow escape his wife and
children had from a violent death. It
appears that a party of Cossacks took
it into their heads ono day to go
round the streets armed with scythes ,
intending to
SCYTHE OFF THE HEAD
of every Jew they came across , and it
was only by falling on her knees and
implorini ; them for the sake of her lit
tle children not to kill her that they
relented and left her , contenting
themselves with slaughtering the men.
The police , although well disposed to-
waids the people , are powerless from
iiuqiulity of numbers , and , nero on
ono occasion prevented f ram executing
their duties , because the barbarous
Cossacks were headed by n son of the
governor general of the place. The
private soldiers sympathized with
them , but they acted under orders ,
and the officers wore either unfavora
bly disposed towtfrdi'ihein or were in
different. At oho1 "time , when the
slaughter and outrages had boon
worao than usual , the police marshal
stowed a lot of the unfortunates away
in a cellar , but the place was so damp
and the air so foul that
MAKY OK THEM DIED
from the evil effects. As a body they
are very intelligent , and several of
thorn could speak t o or throe other
languages in addition to their native
tongue. Jlost of the younger women
are really . .guile handsome and when
the news gatherer popped in they were
on deshabille butat once endeavored
to fix themselves up by the aid of a
small piece of looking glass. Most of
the men arc pretty well off in a money
point of view , not a few of them hav
ing owned largo stores which were
buwiod to ashes by their persecutors.
They seem very hopeful of doing well
and express a desire to become
GOOD AMEKIOAN CITIZENS ,
They are also extremely grateful for
any little kindness shown them , and
express their gratitude in a very
atleoting manner. Employment has
already boon found for about seventy-
five of them , fifty being engaged by a
contractor through the efforts of the
tupjrintendont of the Missouri Pa
citic , and the others Gliding omploj
mont in the city. Among those wlu
deserve especial mention for comin ;

with this subject it might bo interest

and Kiow.

bank qf Duiepor. It interests urn
very varied , and it liau a number of
manufactories of every description ,
and also possessor quite a laiga num
ber of fine buildings. Tta importance
is somewhat increased by the fact
that the governor general has his pal

irnm the fact that in this ancient city
Christianity was first introduced into
Russia emong the barbarous hordes
of 'ho steppes oE Russia , and as hav

population now is about 250,000 , of

The Biggest Boat on tlio River on
Her Down Trjp.
The steamer Wyoming , which is
the largest steamboat that ever
came up the Missiouri river
arrived in Omaha Saturday af
ternoon about five o'clock , bound for
St. Louis , She came in sight early
in the afternoon but stntnded on
a sand bar just above the band , break
ing her wheel and requiring consider
able delay before It could bo repaired
so as to go on to the levee at the fxot
of Farnam street , where she finally
landed.
It appears that the captain did not
intend to land in Omaha until ho was
notified in some way by Troxoll it Co.
their agents there , that there would
prob > bly bo a shipment of mules from
Omaha to Kansas City , and according
ly they rounded to to take this freight
landing in the midst of a heavy etorm
of wind and rain. Instead of being
boarded by a couple of hun
dred mules , the vessel was
boarded by Duputy United States
Marsha ] E. A. Allen , who served pa
pers upon Capt. Coulson in an ad
miralty case , brought by Mr. Mar \
shall 0. Hamilton , living on Sixteenth
street , the amount of whose claim was
$180. The Wyoming wont up the
river on the 12th of May last , and ac
cording to the reports , took wood '
amouuting'2'0 the sum named , from
the bank up near Calhoun , this wood
belonging to Mr. Hamilton , and either
through neglect , or from some other
cause , the officers of the boat neg
lected to leave the customary notifica
tion which is a cird , having the -
amount of wood taken , and which is
sent to St. Louia and paid at that
point. Learning from THE BEE that
the Wyoming was going down the
river on Sunday. Mr. Hamilton con
sulted Colonel Smythn , and the result
was that the necessary papers were
filed in the United States court , which
ulono has jurisdiction in admiralty
matters. Colonel Smytho procured
the services of a well known live
stockman .f this city , who wintto
