" AMUSEMENTS. THK IVY LKAF. Tlio new and uicturesqno Irish drama , "Tho ivy Leaf , " will hold the boards at Uoyd'tt opera house , three nights und Saturday matinee , conmicncinK to mor row evening. The company presenting the play is an excellent 0110. The Ne.w York World says : The alacrity with which theatre goers will pntroni/.o nn at traction which promises a genuine novelty is demonstrated just at present at thu ( Jr.iml opera house. It is something unusual to lind a largo audience at tlio opening of a play whoso merits are un known , but when the curtain wont up on "The Ivy Leaf" there were few vacant scats iu the house. It is a picturesque drama of Irish life , with a story of love and intrigue , pleasantly interspersed with singing and dancing. The eaglu carrying away the child captured tlio fancy of the nndiqneo. It is a clover piece of stage illusion which is realistic in its cllects. pi.on.r/s THEATf.n. At this house last night , A. K.

A Ycnr of Good Wotk Tlio nicjclo Contest They \Vnnt Mnttlicivson Tim Council Hull Notes Utlicr hocnl. The Neliratkft Humane Society. The parquet and dress circle at lloytl's opera house were comfoitably filled last night by a gathering of representative citizens , both ladies nnd gentlemen , who nre interested in the work of the newly reorganized Nebraska Humane society. The meeting was called lo order by Mr. C. S. Chase , the president of the or ganization , who stated the object of the meeting to bo to gel a public expression of the people upon the important ques tion of protection to dumb animals. General J. K. Smith , chairman of the executive committee , then read the con stitution ot the organization anda list of thu oiUcor.s. .Itulgo S.ivnsro was introduced by the chairman and made n brief but pointed nddre.ss upon the objects of the society. If men , he said , were kept crowded into a ole o pen without food or water for forty-eight hours at a time under a mimmur'a sun the com munity would nri.so as onu man and prp- test against the outrage. Yet there arc but few of us who have not seen our domestic animals and fowls treated in that way. If the horse and all of our domestic animals had tongues and could articulate complaints , what wtdlings and complaints and cm ses would go up to Him who fcodcth tno raven and provi dently pares for the sparrow. This society also aims to protect the sensibilities of the adults as well sis the care of the dumb animals.Vo plead for the delicate nonsi- bililius of moinen. Our socity also looks to the protection of children. Wo little know now many children dro abided by liioir parents until their condition is but little better than that of thu dumb nni mals. Such are she objects of the society. MrfA. J. I'onplcton was next intro duce ! . He made cveuso for lack of prep aration us his time had been occupied entirely with professional duties. Ho said : The society is organized for the prevention of cruelty to chil dren and nimals. With the first proposition I will not deal. \ thank God that in this enlightened nine teenth century the instances in which children arc wantonly abused are very few. When children arc abused it is cither bv the hand of Mamon or the hand of intemperance. If von want to prevent cruelty to children you must strike at the fountain source of "tliis cruelty. What should we say in respect to the cruelty to animals. I have not so niuoli faith in the preventing cruelty ns I have in the work of getting down and touching kindness in the hearts of men so that cruelty can never grow out of them , more can bo done in teaching the prin ciples kindness than for punishing men for acts of cruelty. The gallows is tlio ouj.v remnant of the instruments of torture - turo dint marked the reign of cruelty be fore the coming of Christ. I want to sec the time when the gallows shall be taken away ami when no power but God Al mighty shall take away the life of a man. Our object is to strengthen the law of kindness and affection as against the law of hate and cruelty. One of the great things to prevent cruelty to domestic animals is "to cultivate a moro kindly feeling for them. The true family to-day is not only the father and mother and children , unt also the servants who are in the liousu and the domestic animals. When it comes to crossing the dark river 1 confess I would feel something ol re gret if 1 thought that my domestic pots who had contributed so mil eh to my comfort in this world would not reappear in the next. Dr. George L. Miller was introduced. Ho said lie hail had a long identity with the organization and had seen much of its practical operations. Mr. Popplcton has spoken at length of the horse a de mands for our kindly consideration. But thorc arc other animals that need protection. I have a shopliard dog and I would rather have a man strike mo than to strike that dog and 1 would agree not to resist if lie would leave the doc ; alone. Animals are tre.itcd-as beings that wo may abuse or kill at pleasure. Anil yet you will see a look of pain in tlio counte nance of a dog as ciuick : is you will in the tacu of a child. 1'no dog has nerve aud sensibility to mental pain as well as to physical pain. The name is true of tlio cow and horse and most of Iho domestic animals. They all have these elements of sympathy , sorrow and all tlio sensi bilities almost as acute as mnriced as they are in human beings. Tlio check rein , which Mr. i'opplcton has described , is the most infamous instrument of torture in use in thu modern time. Ono of the bravest men in this country bears the name of Henry Borgh , who for thirty years , in many ca.son nlmost alone has gone- about teaching men to be kind to their dumb helpers. Civilization depends upon thu horsu and his services to his master , the animal' ) that fought the battles of the union and conduct the commerce of the nations to-day. When a horse becomes "a bad animal he becomes so in thu hands of a brute of a man. I see men who uru friends of mini ) putting liltlu mules not larger than rats on a loaded street cur und killing them in forcing them over the grades on Farnam street. If 1 was n stockholder in that concern 1 would got out in four hours. The doctor urged the appointment of Jack Ilanloy us agent for thu association , and closed by urging the audience to join witii tlio society in the good work that thev desire to perform. ifoiiornl J. M. Thnrston made an elo quent pica for organized action in the suppression of cruelty to domestic ani mals anil was followed by llnv. W. K. Copelaud , who closed tlio meeting with a briuf address. General Smith received 'and rend thu following telegrams during the progress of the meeting OIIICAOO , Dee. 7.

The annual mooting of thu Women's Christian association was held yesterday afternoon at the parlors of the First Presbyterian church , the rooms of the as sociation on Farnam street being too small to accomodato the attendance. After the opening devotional exercises , Mrs. J. J.

Aio not the poor women and gills who aio coming to this city In great num bers , \\oithgaviujc nnd can not n little fiom each onu to whom the Lord has entuisted inonoy , bo given to get us a permanent home , \fhero we can carry out tlio original design of this association , which Is to gl\o homes to girls until they can provide tor themsehi > , and to women aud children who me desti tute and homeless. During the past year one little home.which is at Io03 Farnam street , has received four hundred and sovcnty-thren (4TD ( ) Inmates. Never has any one been lefusexl shelter and food , and many times has the matron been nut to her wits end to contrive a resting plaeo lor the multitude. Often at nluht. oven at bed time , have thn policemen brought to the door a mother wltn a family of children , or voting nlrls , foundvn the street , and but for this shelter and protection , there might have been manv moro blighted lives and btokun hcniK At other times young girls have comowlth trembling aud tear , asking for a shelter , telling with teartul eyes from what they have escaped , ns Htranuers , In boluir directed to evil places by them who would work their rnln. Thirty-four old ladies have been cared for kindly aud tenderly , nnd who that bears the recollections of nn aged mother in their heart but can appreciate the pleasure of mlulstcilm ; lo the Infirm nnd uu- toitunate , whoso weak and tottering steps indicate that their Journey of life is nearly over. Wo want a bright and cheerv room for just such , and then those whoso husband and children have gone from earth , while they "n little longer wait , " or what Is tnr worse , b'een deserted by him whoio vow was to love and to cherish "until death us do pait. " Then .shall that class have all the eomloits tiiat can be given by our institution. One bundled and seventy-six children have been brought in durini : the year , little lost ones , perhaps soon found by scaichlug friends , perhaps to stay for many da\s ; ehit- dien deseited by unnatural parents ; children to be given away ; children to be taken caio of while mother looks lor work ; sick children to bo nursed : naked chtldionto bo clothed ; and one dear little one to be watched anil tended as the angel of death liovcicd over and finally bore It awns toils heavenly home. "A nlace die Invas the to , \vas remiest made by the poor weeping mother who Drought her In. Slw was buiied from the home , and kind hands placed lloweis on the little casket , aud she did not look lilei ; : paiipci's child , and wo said as we looked lit her s\\cet face : "Of such Is the kingdom of heaven. " The turn from that sad picture to one of Joy 1'or In our lu > me one day hist sprinc theie was a wedding and which Seemed for some time a dark shadow turned Into a sunbeam of happiness and a little home out on the hills is now occupied by loving hearts \\hen but for the kiudnessnud wise counsel of the matron and manageis theio nilcht now be found a blighted life and a homeless little waif. Three Infants have been born within the years and the sutfering mothers who were compelled to stoo by the way while on jour ney to meet friends and home have gouo on their way rejoicing nnd leaving then- bless ing on the kind one who cared for them In their sorrows. One summer day , n sweat and gentle woman came with n sick friend. They were seeking a better climate for the cou < jh and labored bicathlng told all too plainly that disease was fastened , and but a short time would elapse eio the sufferer would bo fiee. The had tlio best of everything In thu home and weio very appreciative but as our dear president found they could not bn comfor table there , she took them to her own home. They soon journeyed Into Colorado , but ere long the one came oack alone but fhu bi ought a message from the depaited that bhc was so kindly cared for that she had loft a present of a little money lor us tlio first lecacy ever received. Two bundled and tivei20. " > ) girls have found a temporary home and had places of employ ment prncuied lor them by the matron and muses have been given the prlviledgo ot staying while waiting to till engagements or find work. I now come to speak of a very peculiar class of people , whom 1 have desig nated as 'tourists. ' Tnero are acl ass who Mart from the extreme east or west to find a homo or friends at thu opposite sldo of the continent. They are sent on by charitable societies with just enough money to land them In Omaha , and hero they are penniless and friendless. We all acknowledge that Omaha is the 'hub' end of the country , and that all things center here , but this travelling procession l.s one thing that wo could dispense with without complnlnlntr. It has been a class which has given the nuna- ucre much perplexity and trouble , but yet wo have heyer neglected any , and have piucurcd tickets and with well Tilled lunch basket , sent them on to their destination , always re questing them to write If they reached their friends , but somehow that pait Is foigotten by many. Sixty-seven women and fifty-nine lost children have been brought in by the policemen , and as wo aio not receiv ing anything fiom the city to carri on our worlr , wo have sent in a petition to the city council , asking that a promise and appropriation made by n former council bo paid tor onn year , bo now paid to us trom Juno 1S85 the time that the appro- pilation of Slit per month ceased and wo have now doubt that the honorable body will comply with our request. Wo will newspeak speak of the helns wo have received from the citizens. Two hundred bundles of clothing have been received and distributed , grocers have sent vegetables for the use of the homo , nnd Ice has benn left at the door during the not months. 1'hyslcians nnd pastors have re sponded to calls made at any time when needed , and services given cheeilnlly. Thq newspapi'iu have very kindly printed all re ports and notices of every appeal bent in by the seeiotary , without charge , and tlio Chris tian Hour and UIB : have been contributed for the benelitof the Inmates of the home. Many contributions of furniture nnd neeus- hirv ; equipments have been received from the business houses of the city - ud private In dividuals , and all repairing about the premises have been donoi u | very reduced prices , Merchants were > slcd foreomfoits last winter uud overv onorasked responded very ccnerously , aim for all their kindnesses and courtesies the assoclattonjnow extend1 * its hearty thanks. To Mr. 8. K. ( Mllaway the Inmates of the homo would return thanks for a bountiful Tlinnk stng ! dinner provided tor all. The charity ball fund was not given to usasnn association , but n committee of ladles be longing to to the association with others weio appointed nnd distributed supplies twice a week to a nmtly eiowd , till it was deemed unadvlsable to continue it any lomier. Aiepott of thai work will bo given by tlio treasurer of that fund , which Is sop- e'-ato fiom our association woik and fund. Our work is carried on by voluntary contributions and the secretary tiixe went plcjoiiio In s.iying that she has never appealed for help without meeting a llbeinl response , and would state to-day through the kindness of S. II. Callaway she has n list of names of several prominent cltl- yens who have volunteered to pay S10 for a month for the year 1837 , and It Is honed that enough men will add to that list to guarantee the running expenses for the year. We have only a small membership , only thirty- live this year , and as si.ti/ constitutes n yearly membership and S.XOO an honorary and 5J0.03a life membership. In hope that nmny will to-daj make themselves members of our association. The I'nlon Pacific railroad have clven us railroad rates on coal so that we have been able to supply the wants ot many poor.

The six-day bicycle race at the exposi tion building attracted about seven or eight hundred people yesterday afternoon nnd last night. There were not so many ladies present as the day before , though the fair sex was wull represented. The racing was watched with a good dual of interest , and as ono man would spurt ahead of another he would be loudly cheered , especially if he happened to bo tlio favorite. At the close of the day Prince had covered 20l ! miles , Dingloy 201 miles and 7 laps , Schock 259 miles and 0 laps , Hardwick 210 miles , and Bullock 231 miles and 2 laps. The pace waa cut out by Schock most of the lime , though Prince would now and then spurt ahead and take thu lead. Bul lock followed clo cly and surprised every one by his splendid riding. He is certainly doing better than his most san guine friends expected. Prince scorned- to bo a favorite with the crowd ami his bursts of speed were well applauded. It may be mentioned here that Morgan's world's record at Minneapolis for sixteen hours was 251 miles. Prineu covcrud 251 miles fifteen hours and fifteen minutes , thus beating the world's record by forty-live minutes. Thu event is attracting a good deal of attention and it is safe to say that during the rest of the week it will bo well patron- ifpd. It is certainly to bo hoped that such will be the case.
