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.

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.

ODDS AND ENDS ,
The busv season being over and things not so rushing any more
we have now time to look after the stock that is left , and find that
we have accumulated during the season quite a few odds and ends.
These consist of some single suits , one or two of a kind , and quite a
lot of suit pants. Verv frequentlv we sell the coat aud vest from a
suit and then the pants are left. We have placed them on a
counter bv themselves , and though the price was formerlv very
low we have marked them down still further. There are some verv
fine goods among them. We will sell them onlv as thev are. That
is , make no alterations as the price is so extremelv low that w
cannot afford to have the expense of altering them , but those who
will find a fit in this lot will get the goods at about one third their
value * *
