Xhc Ballot Oox tlio Wcnpon AVItli U'liioh to Overcome tlio I'.vll [ ' Total Kxtcrininatton or tlio h Trnlllo Advocated. Dr. HflvndRc'n Sermon. The Hcv. Charles M. Savadgo preached yesterday on tlio subject of "Our City's Curse nnd its Curo. " There wus a l.'irgo nttemliinco of interested people , nnd llio sorinon was listened to with great inter est. Thu subject is n continuation of the practlclo subjects wlucli tlio reverend gentleman hrts been delivering for the lust few weeks. Following is the sermon : 1'roverbs , xxlll. : U nnd 32 : "Look not tliou upon tliuvino when It is red , when It ylvetli tils color lu the cup , when It inovuth itself aright. At the last it blteth lllco n serpent and stlngoth like an adder. " I take as my subject to-night "Our City's Curse and its Cure. " J preach this sermon by request to "Tho Mctiopnlltait 1'rohlbltion Club. " You num- licr one hundred sttor.ir. You represent the different lines of prolesslonal business and mechanical life. I niu told that you aie men ot Ideas , of pluck and of push. As 1 look into your faces 1 see the young man with everything before him. I see the strong man in his prlinn with both hands a-hold of the world's work , i sue tlio old man with gray hair , but with lire In his soul. Jfanyonoshonlda.sk mo who you are I would point to you and say "Those men are the sworn enemies of rum. " I am told that JIanibal , the great general , had only one passion hatred to Homo , and all theglowlnir enthusiasm ot his soul , all the great virtues of his character , all the wonderful fertility of his mind wore concentrated In this hatred. Yon are growing this hatred for rum. When we consider the present make-tin of eoclety It Is very natural that you should bo called radicals and fanatics , and you are called by these name ) . Hut as I IOOK up your history I do not wonder that you are radical. Some of you have suircred In'a business way' from strong drink. Others of your number have been slaves to the Appetite , and still others of your body have seen those under Its power who were as dear to vou as lite Itself. , You have a purpose In your organization. \ It is refreshing to see a man or body of men with an object-an object worthy ot them selves. It Is your conviction that the rum trallie should go. That the drink custom should not be regulated but annihilated wlpeu fioin tlio inco of Rod's earth. You believe that the drink custom IB a mad dog which has bitten many , and now , In our city , there are literally hiindieds of these racing curs foaming at the mouth and hiding at eveiy corner ready to spring out upon the passer by. Thoueh the ofllccrs and license board of the city say , "We will eivo you 81,000 toward the education of your children , for everyone of these mad docs you permit in thu city you ralso your voice to a scream of terror and shout , "Awny with this wholesale murder In our streets ! ' ' You bn- llove the pioper place to curtail a bad busi ness Is just back of its ears. Your purpose Is not only to hold this belief but to advocate it. You say , "Tlio trutii we have touud is worthy tlio telling. " A'jaln you propose the ballot as the small but mighty missile ajralnst the rum trallic. You believe that the "balloj box" Is "Tim ark of the covenant" for the American citi/en. 1 ou believe that these little pieces ot white paper , dropped by clean and honest hands are more potent than the prayers of saints or the tramp of armies. The "Kingllest net of freedom Is the freeman's vote.1' When Napoleon moved southward on his noted but disastrous march irom Moscow , a single stiowliake descended through the cold still air. Atone , It mignt not have bent the plump that quivered on the soldier's helmet. JJiit lol a second snowtlakecomes as noise lessly as the lirst , then a third , a fourth , until Jfnperor and common jsoltllers alike know that tffelr fate was sealed. So these little- white ballots will yet strike terror to the hearts of the lovers of rum ; for thousands of men In this country have made up their minds that they will rote as they pray. And you aim also to unify and r.rjstalllzo the temperance work Inn force. You know well that all over this land are thousands of true men who believe with you , and you say to them : "Come , join our ranks. " "United we stand , divided wo fall. " You would take every strong arm in this city and tcacli It to light the worst cuemy the race ever had. 1 am free to say I like you , 1 like yntir principle , i taKe you by the hand and call you brothers. There are ceitalnly some preachers wtio are afraid to speak out , to-day. Uccauso If they speak out on tlila question they will lose their heads , flio worst thing thai Kobert Itiuersoll says of the preacher Is that "he Is an owlslttlnglnadead tree , hoot ing at n lost world. " But I say a harder thing when I say there Is manv a preacher to-day In the pulpit who ) dares not speak his thought on the drink custom , lint ( iod does like n pluck preacher aud men like such a one too. A Methodist preacher has no excuse it he does not speak out. You bee If it gets too hot for him In ono place and somebody does not shoot him the Methodist machine picks III m up and places him somewhere else. I hope more preachers will do as 1'oter Cart- \v right did when ho was preaching on pro fanity and Andrew Jackson came Into the church. Some man In the oulplt said softly , "Don't bear down too heavy ou the swearers , Old Hickory Is In the congregation and some times he is profane. " "Well , " said Peter Carf.vrlght , Andrew Jackson will go to hell like any common sinner If ho don't Btop swearing. " Old Hickory said at the clo e of the sermon. "I wish 1 had a regi ment of soldiers as brave as that preacher. " 1 will tell you why 1 endorse you and why I shall pray for you : You are making war against thn meanest business ou earth. This text says the drink custom Is a serpent that bites and an adder that stings. We believe that this custom Is the fruitful mother of impurity and crime. It murders the peace and Industry of the coun try , and converts happy , Industrious homes Into hovels of poverty and misery. On ac count of drink , anxious wives and mothers watch and pray In tears , and with desolate hearts watch for the homo coming of lost and drunken loved ones. The most eloquent orator tor America has ever produced says : "Kioni the time the liquor issues from tlio coiled nnd poisonous worm in thn distillery until it empties into the hell of death , dishonor and crime , It demoralises e.\ery- body that touches It. Intemperance cuts down youth In Its vigor , manhood In its strength nnd old ago In its weakness. It rte- fames benevolence , hates love , scorns virtue nnd Mandors Innocenrn. It Is the sum ot all villainies , tlio father of all crime , the mother of abominations , tlio devil's best fiiend mid Uod's worst enemy. " These am the words of a man outside of the church and all men know they are true. Surely you ougnt to have the benediction of all. tor you oppose the curse of the nation and the common lee of man. This drink custom is th blight and curse of our city aud if you could , you would wipe It out. We have about UOOsuloons In Omaha This town Is the very hot bed of whisky. There Is only one decent saloon nnd that is the Temperance saloon , presided over oy H. Krdman , on Sixteenth and Dodee streets. He Is the oldest saloon keeper in Oiimha. Ho spent 87,000 In the business but was never happy until he quit the fearful trunk * . Now ho only sells temperance drinks ; he deals in nothing that v > ill intoxicate. Wo have the so-called "lirst-class" saloons In our city ; you will tind them on Douglas and tariiam .limits. What a mirror that is behind the bartonterhat ; handsome pic tures ot landscape and animal llfu adorn the walls. Kverythlng ttiat taste can devise and money can buy Is uscdtoattrart the man.Tlie t mo the dangerous places where sin puts on her drcsa of beauty and says : "See how my votaries 11 vo1' ! 'lliyse are the places vheiea man drlnki as Ions as lu > has plenty ol money nnd before ho cets too much bloated niidbesotti'd. Hut soon he Is kicked out and goes to the hell of lower grade. Dining this hot weather the beer gardens nro doing a slashing business , ivvlmns tome of you have visited them , lien-is one whore the elite of the city tire found during those sultiy evenings. The euclostno Is a largo one ; the orchestra furnishes music vorthyotabettercau.se. Uroups ot laugh- Inir , talking , merry people sit nt the round tables. "Kverybody and his grandmother are there. " Lawyers , doctor mttchaiits , the young maud nid ) the mau with my hair. The professed Christian and the sinners . . . _ , all are here , SOD people drink jight wiaes to iwtyro.1 whisky. Americans ore never very partic ular what they drink , so It Is not water. 1 he Frenchman takes wine , the Herman takes beer , the Scotchman takes ale , the Irishman takes whisky , but the American takes anything ho can lay his hands on. That Is the way the pcoplo of Omaha do in the beer gardens. At one of the gardens on South Thirteenth street they told me that on Sabbath night they sell as many as eleven kegs of beer and other drinks In proportion. And the tired waller , long attar midnight , sinks down on his cot to sleep , only to bo awakened at 5 next uioiulng , when the drinking begins iv.'nln. Wo have saloons for the worklnsr- mati , for the fun biowned tellers , for the men of the middle class , and here let me say these are the most valuable men In the city. Uod loves the men whoso faces are kissed with thesunihlne and whoso clothes arc soiled with brick dust and mor tar. 1 only prav that they Vnav bo honest and sober and pure. Uut look what snares are set for their feet 1 In the.se saloons you will see the tables for billiards anil cards. Hero Is a musical Instiiimcnt which cost the owner S'J.OOO. The pictures are not line , but they Impess ! the men who see them. The low down saloon Is elton a single small room. It is lull of men nnd the men aiis full. Kverybody talks loud and would give all his old clothes to get Into a tight , hvery kind of evil Is born hero. There Is one of these saloons In our city that take a man and finishes him on the grounds. It Is prepared to gl\o him a diploma In vice nnd to punish him in addition. It Is one of the best arranged places In the city In its line. The man Is lirst taken Into the saloon and made beastly drunk , then ho Is shown tipstalts Into the gambling hell where ho Is robbed , and then the ollicer throws the poor wretch Into the Jail which is situated In the tear ot the establishment , i have always thought that house was well managed. I'ho effects of dram drinking brand the custom as our city's curse. I know a man who gets dead drunk. His wife , a dulicatu woman , supports him by tak ing in sewing and washing , and he pavs for drink out of the money earned by his little son by the hardest and most slavish toll. 1 am acquainted with another man who was a tine salesman a few months aeo , but he took to drink. His employer told him that he would gladly give him 8100 a month If ho would leave drink alone. He does so for ono month and draws the promise tnonty , but ho falls again and goes down lower and lower until friends give bread to the drund- ard and his wife. The other day 1 met a friend on the street , ho was hungry and was clothed lu rags , and ho had not slept In a bed for many nights , and no had the look of despair on his face. I asked him what had brought him to such a state of wretchedness He replied : 'The drink. " llrethron. I can't tell you all I know you would stop your ears and tell mo to be silent. Hut Uod Knows this drink Is our city's curse. Again , 1 endorse you with all my heart be cause you are the advocates of the great remedy. You believe In the enforcement ot law. No man or set of men would be more rejoiced to sec the present laws rigidly en forced than yourselves. But you s.iv , "Wo have In mind and heart a moro thorough remedy. " Talk about regulating the saloon business , when the drinker has lost his will and the seller has lost his conscience. You mluht as well try to regulate a volcano belching out the stieam of red-hot death upon your homo. 1 ou might as well try to regulate the regions ot the damned as to regulate the arink cus tom. tom.Your Your remedy Is the ono God sanctions. Oodbays : "Don't look at it , don't touch It It Is an odder that will sting you to death. " Your remedy has worked practically and will do so. The piohlbition sentiment is growing all over our land. Prohibition has already wiought wonders. Dally it Is con quering enemies and winning hosts of friniids. Voices from Maine and Georgia , Kansas and Iowa. testily with columns of liKures and scores of stubborn facts , that prohibition does prohibit laka the city of Atlanta for an example. This is a city ot 00,000 pcoplo. Prohibition proposed mighty changes. Over TOO business houses were to bo closed ; MX ) men were to bo forced to clvo up a chosen employment. The city treasury was to be left with 510,000 loss revenue. Trade , amounting annually to millions , was to bo turned away from the citT. Many large busi ness houses were to be left unrented. The most spirited and determined opposition was brought to bear against the movement. A reliable writer says : "If Js twelve months elnco tb.6 law went Into effect and look at the results : Prohibition In this city does prohibit The city has not been injured financially. Ac cording to the assessor's books property In the city has increased In value over two millions. Taxes have not Increased. Five new banks have be n added. Four new railroads have come to us , and manufactur ing ostablisraonts have received new life. Store rooms In which tlio liquor trnfllo was conducted are not vacant but are now occu pied by other lines of trade. Working men , who formerly spent a great part of their earnings for liquor , now spend It In food and clothc.s for their families. More people ride on the street cars. Moro children go to the public schools. Moro people attend church , and there Is very little drlnging in thn city. " Those are the words of the Atlanta Weekly Constitution , a paper that once op posed prohibition. The principles you advocate am right and they are practical. Uo on and matifc no upologlf s to men. In conclusion I would say : See to It that good men all over our city nro invited and urged to Join you In your nlorlous work. May "the little one become a thousand , " is mv prayer. Do all you can for the enforcement of the present laws. Kiitht the devil at short range , but Keep the abolition of the traffic ever In vlow. Kemeinber that victory will crown Jilght forever on the scaffold. Wrong forever on the throne , lint the scaffold sways the future , And behind the dark unknown , btandeth ( iod amid the shadows Keeping watch above His own. The papers are coming over on your side. The Voice In New York has a million del lars at its bank , aud this la your paper. The highest dignitaries of the church say : "Uod bless the prohibition movement" The church that In the days of the rebellion sent the most nurses to the hospital and the most soldiers to the field Is praying for yon. Don't forget that the better day Is comlne. Already you can see the red light of the morning. Brethren , it Is In the "promises" and noth ing can stay It. The long black rings of retreating night go hustling down the i < at.ind the rosy wings of morning come sweeping uo the futuio nnd the shouts of angels and men usher in the advauclns day. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of tlio Loid , Uo is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored. Ho has loosed the fateful lightnings of his terrible swltt sword ; Ills truth is inarching on. I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of dice ! : Asyt'doal with My contemnera so with you My grace shall deal ; l.ft the Hero born ot woman crush the ser pent wltli his heel ; Since Uod Is marching on.

A pleasant nnd interesting mooting was held at Jpllurson park last evening , the Uov. A.V. . Lamar , of the First Hap tist church presiding over the services. A largo audience gathered. Mr. Lamar took tor his subject , "Procrastination , " and spoke in his usual forcible , pointed and tolling manner. Tlio meeting was unmolested by any uol o or disturbance , and the quint , dignified and truly rovor- cuit manner in which the services were conducted was so strongly in contrast with the meetings ot the Salvation Army usually luihl on the sama spot , as to c.iuso almost the universal comment of all who live in , or frequent that vicinity. After the services the j-oune people of the church held their usual meeting m tlio Sunday School room of the church. 1M McJerr.

The picnic at Hascall's paric yesterday afternoon under the auspices of thn J. M. Thurston hose company was a com plete success. A largo crowd , numbering several hundred , greeted the "champions of the world" nnd thoroughly enjoyed the ex cellent sport provided for their enter tainment. The lirst event upon the programme WHS thu 100 yards amateur race for a gold medal given by the turners of tins city , and after n struggle was won by K. S. NVa&hburn by three inches. J. J. ( trommo second and J. S. Mitchell third by a yard. Time 10J , which was excel lent for amateurs. Groomo Jed by six inches till ten yards of the finish when Washburn by almost superhuman efforts succeeded in wrc.stlng the load from him nnd won ouc of the most exciting ama teur contests over held in this city by a bare scratch. Mitchell ran a game race and mudo the two lead ers exert' themselves to their utmost to defeat him. Next came the fifty yards professional handicap , the lirst heat of which brought out Leon Lo/.lur , C. F. Anderson scratch tind Fred Cunningham 4 yards. After a contest Lo/.ior won , with Cunningham second and Anderson third. In tlio second Itcat Ed Campbell , scratch , defeated W. J. Fletcher , 13 yards start , with casu by 3 yards. The final heat brought together Leon Lo/.ier and Ku Campbell , both scratch. After several false starts the men getaway away well together and after displaying sonic of the prettiest and speediest run ning over witnessed in tins city Campbell won by a yard in 5 $ seconds. Lozicr also displayed good speed and won many friends by his powers. Will Bryan was on Hie grounds , but for some unknown reasons did not compete much to the chagrin of his many friends and detriment of his reputation in this city.D. . D. IJ. Baldwin won the sixteen pound shot contest by a put of twenty-nine feet eight inches , with Ed. O'Connor , twenty- seven feet , second. The other com petitors wore H. Kummcrou , Sohn Turn- bull , Will Webb , Jim Flynn , L. C. Dale , John tlicky and Ed. Coster. D. Prcscott won the running high jump with five feet four inches to his credit , with Ed. Campbell second. The other competitors were John Nicholas , Ed. O'Connor , D. P. Baldwin , Fred Cun ningham , W. J. Fletcher and Leon Lozier. For the long jump were entered Leon Lozier , Ed. Campbell , D. P. Baldwin , Ed. D'Connor and C. F. Anderson. Camp bell had an easy victory , his best jump measuring eighteen foot , eight inches , witli O'Connor second. The 120 yards amateur hurdle race proved ono of the most interesting events of the day. Tlio prize was a gold medal given by the Turner society , and tlio first heat was won by E. S. Washburn defeating J. J. Grommo two inches after a "neck-and-ncck" contest the entire distance. In the second trial heat C. F. Grommo had an easy victory over Otto Niederniescr , winning bp three yards. In the final heat Washburn got two yards the best of the start , and although Grommo ran a very nice race he was do- fcatud a yard by Washburn , which proved his second victory for tlio hay. The Thurstons will leave Saturday for Lcadvillc. _ AMUSEMENTS. A Very Pleasant Evening With the Gorman Company at Mctz's. The present season at Mctz's garden , on Tenth street near Harnoy , promises to be the most successful ever experi enced in that popular resort. It has long boon a favorite resort for Germans , and judging from present indications there is little reason to believe that the peculiarly attractive features have failed of appreci ation on the part of hundreds of our Ger man citizens who have patronized the place for years. Last night the place was particularly well patronized. The trees were rich in foliage and n moderate breeze so tempered the atmosphere as to enable the average auditor to enjoy the stage performance with more than usual interest. Tlio programme comprised two pieces , " 15is dor Kechtc Komrnt , " and "Er 1st Nicht Eifcrsuchtig. " In the lirst of those , Messrs. Tills , Koch , Caurcis and Mrs. Haurois , took part. It was a highly interesting piece , the load ing character being assumed by Mr. llaurcis. This gentleman most enter- taingly delineated the death throes of a Lothario who , while under the impres sion that bo lias taken poison to case tiimscly of the burden of life which elects no longer to bear , subsequently learns that he has been dosing himself only witli sugar. The net had a most pronounced cflcct upon the audience and was warmly applauded. The concluding piece of the pro gramme introduced Mr. Kock , Mr. Ulig , Mrs. Puls-Ahl and Mrs. liaureis in the very amusing sketcli "His du Uechto Kommt. " Mr. Kock sustained the prin cipal role. It was that of a young niun who. after having been a harom-scarem soldier for eight vcars , returns to a homo which , in the denouement , becomes his by inheritance. This gentleman has not often essayed light comedy characters hero , but his Peter Lcn/.of last night may bo enumerated among the most success ful pieces of acting which ho has done this season. He was admirably sustained by Mrs. James Haurois and Puls-Ahl and Mr. Ulig. Tlio singing of Mrs. Puls-Ahi was unusually line aud that of Mr. Ulig was appreciated. HIT THE WUONG MAN. An Kin-need Ilaso Hall Enthusiast Vents IllH Anger Discreetly , John ( ' . Farris.i ] , familiarly known as "Spud , " a truckman of the hook and lad der company , is a great lover of the na tional game and has most decided views in regard to it. Yesterday found him at the base ball park witnessing his favorite sport. Among the spectators was n brawny stonecutter who might pose fora Hercules. He , too , had most decided views In regard to the game , and partic ularly to the ono in progress , and was not backward in candidly expressing thorn. The playing of Krohmoyer , the catcher , happened to meet with his dis pleasure and he remarked contemptuous- 1\ that "Krclmipyor couldn't catch a ba- loon. " This rcmarK * unfortunately , was radically at variance with the "views of Farrish on that subject and ho turned wrathfully around doubled up his lists and glared angrily at the speaker. Hut lie took in the full pro portion ! ! of the young Sampson , and he suddenly turned pale , softened in ex pression and directed his attention to a little weazen-faced follow near the speaker. "What's that von say , sir , " says Far rish fiercely , shaking his fists in the astonished little fellow's face. "What's that you say ? What do you know about baseball anyway ? What would voti call that a foul strike ? " At this juncture batting the Lilliputian over the head. Of the scrimmage that followed the reports are conflicting , but the altercation created great excitement. The crowd rushed through the diamond to sco what the ex citement was and the game was delayed lor fully n quarter of an hour. Mean while the patrol wagon came rumbling up , but the participants in the melee woio * lost in the great sea of excited hu manity , nnd uo urrehU were made. * * . / . s * * " " Absolutely Pure.

A Private Quarrel In Public. Yesterday morning as Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Vamlorvort were driving on Davenport between Sixteenth and Seven teenth , tlioy fell into a dispute as to who should drive , -Vandcrvort being too drunk oven to steer the horses properly. Mrs. Vandervort secured the reins , biit her husband snatched them from her , and , seizing tlio whip , commenced beat ing her over the head with the butt of it in a most merciless manner. Oilicer Lang witnessed the fracas , nnd inter fered in time to save the woman from being brained by tho. furious husband. He was immediately arrested and locked up. Married nt the Synncocnc. At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon Charles M. Fein and Miss Nettie Meyer were united In marriage at the syna gogue by Rabbi Hanson. The wedding was private and onlv witnessed by a few of the immediate relatives. DR. POWELL BEEVES , 314 South 13th St. , Omaha , Neb. PRIVATE DISPENSARY.
