the play is an excellent 0110. The Ne.w

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.

to S3.M ) per week without detracting from

creased their comforts , and his percentage of
cures Is one-third best in the United States ,
as per official leports. The doctor was among

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

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

able to supply the wants ot many poor.

wisdom we shall need , aud npiy wo not ask
that each ol yon remember me nt the Throne

IXCIIEAKING IN 1NT12RKST.
llio Six-Day Illcyclc Kace Attracting
a Orcnt Denl of Attention.
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.
