IRE COMING TO THE RESCUE
Heeling 1o Be Hold Tonight to Devise Re

PUBLIC SYMPATHY HAS BEEN AWAKENED

The sufferings of the breadlcss nnd bed-
( tss men at Hcscue ball and tlio threatened
ibandonmcnt of that instltiitlon on account
Of limited funds , as published in Tun Hun
.cutcrilay , aroused public sympathy.
It Is probable that prompt action for the
relief of tlio Homeless nnd hungry will now
bo taken. At a meeting of the executive
committee of the Comiterclal club hold
yesterday the subject as published in Tun
Hun \viis thotoughly discussed. The club Is
not n chin Hablo organlration , but from a
business standpoint concluded not to let
litlo ttorl'lngmnn starve to death In a city of
Una site. Superintendent Clark and Prof.
[ Jlllcsplo adilrcsfccd the meeting In behalf of
relief for the distressed. a a safeguard
igninst an Increase In crime as tlio
desperation of hunger might drlvo
the unemployed to commit unlawful
ivls. Investigation proved that most of
the applicants for food and shelter wore do-
fccrvlng wage earners out of employment.

Chris Hartmnn and G. 11. I'ayno thought
Hint the titno for quick and ilullinto action
had arrived , ,
Ainu * Mcrtlnp ; Called for Tonleht.
After discussion H was decided to call a
citizens' meeting at the club rooms this
( Wednesday ) evening nt 8 o'clock for the
purpose of considering plans for relief. Mr.
Clark's ' uncxnggcratca recital of pltlablo
facts as they existed at Kcscuo ball was
attentively listened to by the members of
the committee. Hlg hearted Chris Ilnrtman
wanted to start n popular subscription at
once aril said that ho would head it with a
small stack of silver dollars. When Mr.
Clark recited the story of two homolcss and
ilcscrtcn wives applying for shelter , Mr.
Ilartmnn cxpiessed a willingness to double
the stuck. It was finally decided to defer
the subscription , pending a general meeting
ol the club to confer with citizens interested
In the rescue , to bo held this evening.
( They Are Wllllnc ; to Work.
Idle men continue to appeal for shelter at
Uescno hull every night , yesterday the coal
iiipply of tlio Institution was exhausted , and
had it not been for the rustling abilities of
Superintendent Clark his pauper guests
would have shivered with cold on n hara
Moor hist night. Pending dcllnito arrange
ments for relief , the superintendent has
rcntca ttio hall on his own responsibility for
llftccn days , llo has held a conference with
tlio city and county oflicials , but finds that
no funds are available for tlic consummation
of Ills plan to erect temporary sheds ana
start a work house , where the labor test
would soon demonstrate that the mon who
are now on the verge of starvation , and
whoso heads have not rested on pillows for
ivcoks , are willing to work at anything tnat
'will ' earn bred and bed. Mr. Clark's fimda-
.inental principle in conducting Rescue hall
Jims been to weed out trainpR and the un
deserving indolent.
Anil Women Apply , Too.
The appeals for"shelter are not confined to'
the masculine genders. vVomcn in rags ,
with little children crying pltcously for food ,
otten ask for a' bowl of Soup and a bed. In
jr.ost instances they are deserving cases of
destitute widows and deserted wives , who
sell the scanty furniture of their hovels ,
piece by piece , to buy bread , until the last
chair or bed is-.partod with , and the unfortu
nate woman'is thrust into the street to bat
tle with a cold world. If definite arrange
ments for relief nro perfected cots for
homeless women and children will boerected
at the hall. A watctiman named Pfcifer
patrols the building all night to guard
against fire and fights. Frequently the men
are pack'cd so closely together on the floor ,
without beds , that they roll upon each
others heads Ir. their wild tosses of torture
caused by the fangs of famine. Nutunlly ; a
man with an empty stomach is not in an
amiable mood , and the presence of the
watchman ; is' frequently a necessity to pre
serve order.
( Inch Hoped from tlio Cltlr.rna' Meeting.
Mr. Clurk Is making the unfortunate as
coinforta 1)1 o as possible , " but ho has no money
With which to carry on the work. The In
vestigation made by TiiE BEE , followed by
the prompt action of the Commercial club ,
lias Inspired him with hope and ho Is
anxiously awaiting the outcome of the
clti'/.cns' meeting at the club tonight. There
nro ' 'GO prisoners of poverty also fanning the
llamo of hope at Itcscuo hall. To them
iquaru meals and bds or employment
would bo the most acceptable Christmas
gifts which the people of Omaha could bc-
( tow. To these men a baker's window or
restaurant sign is of keener Interest just at
prescnti than a a how window filled with a
display of holiday goods.
The ministers of the city are becoming in
terested In the uppalllng state of affairs and
'
several have 'expressed their Intention of
being present at the meeting tonight tto
cncouraco prompt action. Everybody is in
vited to attend.
Omaha Is not suffering as much in the way
of the destitute unemployed as oilier cities ,
and the majority of the half starved paupers
kept alive on soup at Rescue hall como from
Chicago , Denver. Kansas City , Sioux City ,
iJes Moihos and elsewhere. Tlio system
adopted at the hall prevents an Invasion of
tratnrs. An Illustration of the willingness
of the men to work was demonstrated yes
terday.
Hcrnmlilo Tor it .loli ,
Mr , Clark announced In the presence of
the men at the hall that ho had a job for
some one to shovel coal. It meant 75 cents
to the ono who secured It. No sooner had
tliu words left his lips era ho was sur
rounded by fifty or sixty Impoverished men
with outstrccheci hands. They pitcuiisly
pleaded for the work , Ono old man was
knocked down In the wild scramble for em
ployment. Another pot on his knees and
irrasMcd Mr , Clark frantically around the
legs. Ho shouted In despair for tlio job. It
meant enough money fora bed anil n meal of
tufilcicnt magnitude to smooth the wrinkles
Df hunger on his stomach.
"Tor God's sake ! give It to me , sir , " feebly
caspRil the old nmn from Sioux City , who
had struggled to his fcot unit held his
pinched hands tilph in the air , wilhnniin-
plormir clutch. Ho got the job and slept that
night on a mattress. His gray hairs rested
on a pillow for the first time In fifteen nights ,
while the chair which ho usually slept in at
atght In the rear of the hall was occupied
by an ex-ratlroad man with a wooden leg
nul a crippled hand.
Ur. ityon yesterday kindly administered
to the wants of the two sluk men , both of
ivliom had no bed Monday Highland laid m
tgony In a close , foul smelling room , where
more than 100 men wore stretched tipou the
Boot- , Limited space necessitated thdiisaof
rhalrs for sincpmg purposes. Ono man fell
over backward while sleeping in a chair
Monday night and almost broke Us neck.
These scenes of misery and destitution have
been nlcbtlv witnessed at liescuo hall for
lite past w.'ck. It seems to bo the concensus
if local opinion that benevolence nhoulu ex-
lend relief.
DONATIONS AUK COMING
tltljrus CniilrllMitliit , ' Hulh Money and
I'rovltluni lor llin Nrcily ,
Several jjuuutlons from benevolent cltl-
rc gladdened the hearts of the destitute
nt Uctcuo hall yesterday. The Omaha Coal ,
Colo& ; J.aud company sent a check for $ TO
nnd a receipted bill for coal purchased
fcomc tlmo ago. A. J. Liddcll dropped In
nul after ono gluucoai the prostrate poor on
tlio floor left a cmp 10 note In the hands of
Assistant Superintendent Hlchards. Smaller
donations auU several tin cans filled with un
used food at the 1'axlon ami Merchants
hotels wo-e Joyfully accepted. Over400 men
were fed yesterday. They teemed to appre
ciate llio efforts being mudo to appease their
huncer. No pillows , I > COB or blankets , how
jBY r , have been provided for the itrugglcrs
agnlnst fate who spent another wretched
iildht on the hard floor of the hall. Fortu
nately the weather wns warmer. Men
pulled off their Ixxits and put them under
their heads for nllloxvs. A number of citi
zens , Including Hovs. Cramblot ami Hclllngs
and other preachers , called at the hall last
night nnd saw for themselves that' the
misery that existed nightly at the hall was
not exaggerated , *
, lust before "retiring" last night the men
gathered around the stove in the roar of the
hull ami listened to onnof their number rend
aloud the story of their suffering as Riven to
the public for the first time In yesterday's
BKE. The render held a copy of the paper
In his hand anil slowly read each line. At
the conclusion of the reading the men
heartily extended a vote of thanks to TUB
Hin for the Interest manifested In their
behalf.
Most of the mon walked the entire dis
tance to Cut Off lake yesterday in hopes of
getting work on the Ice , but roturncit in
despair. With weary feet they scrambled
into the hall and received their second dally
Installment of soup , with an unexpected sur-
prlso party for their stomachs In the shupn
of hotel scraps.

IT'S DOLLARS HE WANTS.
Mr. Hltcheock Ire H Ono of IIi Vrotcstj
for 83 In CiiHli.
It Is not a matter of l.i w or circulation that
is prompting Mr. Hitchcock in his protests
against the applications for liquor licenses
before the fire and police commissioners. It
Is simply a daring and cold blooded bluff for
money. This was conclusively shown by lite
action in the case of Mrs. Mary A. liank-
hnrdt , whoso application was protested be
cause she advertised in Tim BUB.
The case was ready for hearing by the com
missioners when Mr. Hitchcock sent ono of
his emissaries out to Mrs. Bankhardt's sa
loon on North Thirtieth street and agreed
to drop the prosecution of the protest If
Mrs. Bankhardt would pay the World-Herald
$2. Mrs. Uankhardt had refused to pay
$3.23 for the advertisement In tho. Fake-
Factory , but times are hard "with Mr. Hitch
cock just now and if he can't get Ki.25 ho
will take less. Mrs Bankhardt-lid not want
to.be bothered by a trial of her case and so
pai'd the measly sum asK'cd byllitchcock and
w.is-assurcd that the protest , would bo dis
missed.
The action of Hitehcock before the fire and
police commissioners yesterday was also In
line with his despicable methods In his bluff
at filing protests. He is endeavoring to have
the hearing of the protests postponed In the
hope of rouing in a few more dollars for his
money eating fake mill. When asked by the
commissioner's if ho would appeal the cases
if the commissioners granted the licenses to
these who had advertised in THE BEG ho
refused to answer. Ho has nothing to
appeal and his only hope is to scare appli
cants into advertising in his paper.
The protested cases will bo heard by the
license board on Thursday evening.

humble hewing jilrl. Gentlemen in the
highest professions touch elbows with
the tolling olerk. Youths and maidens ,
fcchool boys and girls 101110 , and among
these rosy-cheeked roisterers now aud
then is seen a keen-eyed newsboy or
street waif.
To see all these people afterward in
