Tlio mass meeting nt the First I'rosby-
tcrlan cliurcli yesterday nftcrnoon In obsorv-
ntico of National Tcmiicrenco day was only
n partial success In point of numbers , but
the inenKcr audience listened to a number
earnest and very Interesting addresses on tlio
mibject of the d.iy. The pastor , Hov. J. SI.
I'nttcrson , presided , and after tlio opening
liymn llev. T. 0. Crnmblott of the Klrst
Presbyterian cliurcli read a passage of scrip
ture , which was followed by a short prayer
by Hcv. John Williamson.
The first speaker wan Hev. Frank Crane ,
who discussed "Temperance In Omaha. " He
said that ho was especially qualified to per
form the task assigned him. Ho had no
facts to hamper him , but could give free
reign to his Imagination. Ho did not know
much about temperance In Omalm , as ho had
neon so little of It. Continuing , he said :
"You will never have temperance In Omaha
until you want It. You don't want It now ,
you want money. You don't want temper
ance. You don't want good government.
You don't want decent society. You simply
want a way to get rich and remain respecta
ble while you arc doing It. "
The speaker considered four things neces
sary to success In temperance work. They
wore motives , method , men and money.
First a motive or a desire for temperance
In the city was necessary. Hu had attended
n banq.net at the Commercial club on the
previous evening , and while there ho had
heard a number of enthusiastic speeches on
Omaha's future growth and ptasperity , but
nothing had been said In rceard to Its
morality. There was a body of men who
wcru willing to sacrifice overthlng to pro
mote the commercial prosperity of , Omaha.
Could there bo found a body of business men
In any of the churches who were ready
to sacrifice anything" to promote the moral
welfare of the city ? When this was pos-
lblo there would be a BUfllcleflt motive to
accomplish much for temperance. Ordinary
ilecont city government would wipe out
three-fourths of the saloons In the city.
Thrce-fourtha of them were violating thcr
law every day , but nothing was done to
prevent It. Women should got together and
ml.so thi'lr voices unceasingly against the
'lamnablc collusion with crlinu that was
ping on In this city.
CHURCH SHOULD ENTER POLITICS.
In considering the methods that should bo
employed Mr. Crane said : "Tho church
should got Into politics. What does your
church amount to In local politics , what
docs mine ? Business men nro afraid to
come out 'and take a stand In this matter ,
' because they are afraid they will lese busi
ness. The church Is weighted down by these
scml-Jmlnsps , who will do nothing except to
lacp out of the road. You temperance people
do not cut any figure hero In Omaha. You
ure Insignificant. You nro not able to muster
more than fifty or 100 people to attend this
mass meeting hero this afternoon. The
papers will not notlco you tomorrow , but If
there Is a variety theater running In full
blast down town they will give It a column. "
Dr. Hclllngs spoke on "Women's Work for
Temperance. " Ho believed that the women
took n hand In temperance work Instinct
ively. A woman's Intuition told her what
was right and She went to work , while the
men were standing around thinking about It.
There were thousands of women In this city
and In the country at largo who down deep
In their hearts nro asking for some way In
which to cope successfully with this evil.
Some day , perhaps , a reply would come from
heaven , .as many another deliverance had
come. No one would have believed twelve
months ahead that human slavery would be
wiped out , but God had brought ft about In
his own good time , and ho might yet come
to the assistance of his people who were
lighting against this gigantic evil of In
temperance.
Some people were accustomed' to assert
that v , onion should bo more retired anil not
come out and toke a part In this warfare.
It was not the business man or tlio pro
fessional man who suffered the most from
this evil. It was the patient wlfo , the loving
mother and the affectionate sister who
reaped the greatest harvest of sorrow , and
they had the right to stand up and protect
their homes from the blasting Influence of
the liquor traffic.
DRINKING AMONG WOMEN.
"Tho Drink Habit Among Women" was
the subject of Dean Gardner's address. Ho
said that this was a phase of the subject
that was startling. It was hard to bellovo
that there was a drink habit among women ,
but such was the case. According to statis
tics , women drank nearly as much as men ,
nnd In social life they were often the leaders
In dissipation. Could the secret p-iges of
the social life In Omaha during the past
twelve months bo read they would unfold n
tale that would make honest men and women
hide their faces from shame. Ho was per
sonally acquainted with cubes In which
women had drank so much nt n social party
that they had to bo taken home , and many
others drank privately nnd had to bo
watched all the time nt their homes. Since
the morals of the future generation rested
to n largo extent In the hands of the women
the present state of affairs was a slmmo
that called for decisive action. How many
fair girls had been brought to rujn because
on ono occasion they had allowed their sense
of modesty to become clouded by Indulgence
In Intoxlcantr , . Parents should make every
effort to make their daughters temperate
girl. ) and they would become temperate
women afterward.
The speaker touched earnestly on the
question of heredity ns related to the liquor
habit and on the duty of vrcmen to refuse to
take n stimulant that might Implant an
nppctlto for Intoxicants In their children.
LACK OF'METHOD.
Rev. Dr. Uuryca had no subject In par
ticular , but talked carnebtly on general tem
perance topics. Ho agreed with a previous
speaker that temperance work In Omaha
had lacked method. There was a scarcity
of capable and single-minded leaders. In
Illustration of this point ho referred to the
attempt to pass the prohibitory amendment
In Nebraska. At about the middle of August
In that year there was a general expectation
that the amendment would pass and the
saloon keepers were preparing to go out of
business. Then the leaders of the amend
ment forces entered Into n. compact with
another party which represented far different
Interests. This caused many who had de
termined to vote for the amendment to host-
tate and by the 1st of September all hope
of carrying the amendment ) nvl disappeared.
It the leaders of tlio movement had been
wise they would have compromised on a
local option basis , which win possible at the
lime , nnd thus would have taken a r.top
forward Instnul of suffering a signal defeat.
Tha speaker compared the method of
working against Intemperance to that of
General Grant In besieging Richmond. The
commander had drawn his cordons tighter
nnd tighter nroi.ml every nvcnuo of approach
preach to the city until the enemy was fairly
* * suffocated before he had ventured on a final
attack. So the first thing for the temper-
unco workers to do was to tighten around
the liquor trnlllc all the cords which the
law had already thrown about It. With
proper methods a majority could bo secured
for the enforcement of the law ns It stood ,
This accomplished would bo a slop In the
right direction and would open the way for
more decisive action.
WORK OF W. C. T. U.
The last speaker was Dr. Freda I.niiliton ,
who represented the Women's Christian
Temperance union. She expressed her satis-
furtloii nt being able to picture the bright
sldo of the Htory , of which the most ills-
courncliiR features had already been per
trayed. The women's organization had
ichlevetl ereat results. It now numbered
250,000 workers , thorouchly organized anil
with their work perfectly systematized ,
rholr national president was Frances E.
IVIIIaril. one of the most talented nnd sue-
: cssful workers In the Held , und from her
down to the moat Insignificant private they
ivcro thoroughly In unison. Every utate , con-
Ercsalouul district , county ana local district
had UA organization working under the
direction of leaders like n great nrmy , whr-rd
the orders of the cornmander-ln-chlcf wcro
followed all along the line. Dr. tankton
briefly reviewed the various branches Into
which tlio work o ( the organization was
divided. They went Into the jails , alms-
homos , penitentiaries and hospitals , and no
ono but ( led could tell how many lives had
been led Into purer channels through their
efforts. The problem of scientific temper
ance had received considerable attention , and
they Jiad Induced the legislatures of thirty-
four states and territories to pass laws mak
ing the study of scientific temperance n
part of the curriculum of the public schools.
They had covered a wide field In the work
of social purity , missions , Juvenile work and
among the railroad men. They had accom
plished much , and know no such words as
discouragement or defeat.
.STHICICIiil ON INTKMPKHANCi : .
I.nmcntft tlio I.nek of Proper Sentiment In
Omiilm Hli HMBccntloiu.
V. O , Strlckler was Introduced to an audl-
cnco at .liu Young Stan's Christian associa
tion building yesterday afternoon as "a
member of the Hoard of Fire and Police
Commissioners and a Sunday school teacher. "
Sir. Strlckler then proceeded to place him
self on record , In a temperance and moral
way , ns follows :
"The mayor of this city or any other
city cannot enforce the laws of the munic
ipality unless n general public sentiment
backs him up. I regret to say that the
liquor Interests of Omaha have a compact
organization and act as n unit , while the
church people seem to have an attack of
lethargy In demanding reforms for the
moral good of citizens. Church lines should
bo wiped out and unity should be met with
unity. A mayor or public ofllclal should
not bo condemned for not enforcing tlio law
wficn the people do not demand such
action.
"Tho liquor question Is becoming a seri
ous one. Only $ ! > , r > 00,000 yearly Is spent
for missions , while $ UOO,000,000 Is spent for
alcoholic beverages. The saloon clement Is
becoming a dominant power In politics ,
while the church people teem to stop on
the threshold of their duty. A man who
advocates reform Is made the object of
political attack from liquor men nnd their
sympathisers. The pernicious Influence of
the saloon has poisoned the public morals
and crept Into dangerous political power.
I know their methods. They nro known to
nil of you. Churchmen seem to be In
different to duty. I came from a town
where the Sunday blue laws were enforced.
The first Sunday I was In Omaha I saw men
laying street car tracks on Fifteenth street ,
but I was shocked still further not long
ago by seeing a Falcon at the corner of
Fourteenth nnd C.ipltol avenue open on
the Sabbath day. .Men wore Inside. I did
not Avail to see them drink , but turned
my face from the disgraceful evidence of de
pravity. What the people of Omaha want
Is purity In politics. Partisanship Is n
great curse. We need reforms , not only In
temperance. Public officials linfo squan
dered public finances. This Is a sample of
the degrading Influence of the saloon In
politics.
"Urewerics pay the licenses of many sa
loons , which nro simply their agencies to
sell beer nnd whisky , with which to lure
the souls of men. The good people of Omaha
should rlso In their might and crush out
this trafllc. It seems ns though Christianity
was losing ground and the saloon clement
Increasing. Look at the magnitude of liquor
statistics on a comparative basis of Christian
Influence. The amount spent for liquor In
this country would more than pay the na
tional debt.
"Many men think that temperance Is a
mere scntlmcntnllsm nnd turn Its agitation
over to women. This Is radically wrong. A
general Interest of sexes should bo main
tained. "Opposition to liquor should be In
culcated In the minds of children at Sunday
school and they should be taught to shun
liquor from childhood. You cannot always
reach an adult whoso habits are formed.
"Young men should beware of th" ! ate
which befell a young man In this o'ly a fuw
weeks ago , who was ftntencod to the peni
tentiary fpr his crime. He can trace his
downfall to first-drink . -whisky. . At
one ilmo ho was a irusfed tianlc employe.
Now ho Is in a felon's cell , Lmplcjcrs in
largo establishments have men who handle
their cash under surveillance. They know'
their habits. This is right. It Is for their
own protection. There Is but ono Inevitable
sequel to drinking a drunkard's grave , or
greater crimes which make them felons.
There will yet bo a crusade against tobacco ,
as well ns liquor. Gambling Is another
curse. Everybody knows what I have re
cently done In closing the gambling houses
of Omaha , but only one preacher has taken
mo by the hand and congratulated me.
"Thero Is only one liquor cure and that Is
the spirit of Jesus Christ. The church Is the
greatest of temperance sanitariums , but
people don't oeom to realize It. It takes
about twenty soldiers of the cross to cap
ture one soldier of tin. "
Perfect health Is seldom found , for Impure
blood Is so general. Hood'a Sarsaparllla
really does purify the blood and restores
health.

"St. Patrick" was the subject chosen lasl
night by Hov. Thomas Anderson , the pastor
of Calvary Uaptlst church.
Sir. Anderson opened his address with the
statement that as ho expected to bo wrongly
reported ho had committed his remarks
to * writing. Ho tf.ilil that ho was aware
and expected that all his auditors wcro
aware that the church .of Homo claimed
Patrick as ono of Its' shining lights , but ,
In the Reconstructed words of Josh Hillings ,
Homo known a great ninny things which nro
not so.
,
The speaker then went on to explain that
ho had learned two Interesting facts In con
nection with the history of St. Patrick , the
first being that ho was not a Roman Catho
lic , nnd the second that ho was not an Irish
man. From what evidence he had been able
to collect ho was of the opinion that the
patron faint of the Emerald Isle was born
In Scotland and wan a Uaptlst.
Following up his subject bo gave an Inler-
cstlng sketch of the career of Patrick in
Ireland , paying nn eloquent tribute to his
memory nnd attributing to him the establish
ment of 300 churches and the conversion of
12,000 souls to faith In Christ. While
claiming that many false statements had
been made In reference to the record of the
saint , the speaker conceded that ho was ono
of the grandest characters In the history of
Christianity and exhorted his hearers to
learn a lesson from a consideration of his
life and works.
IIAl'l'V , THOUGH .MAKKIIM ) .
Pastor Pattcrgnn UlxuusHeH Conditions that
Are Kfixciithil to Conjugal felicity.
At the First Presbyterian church last
evening Rev. J. SI. Patterson delivered his
third discourse In the scries pertaining to
thp establishment of a homo. The subject
of the discussion last evening was : "How
to bo Happy , Though Slarrlcd. " The text
was : "And he said , what have they seen
In thlno house ? " Ho said In part :
A husband said to his angry wife , "Look
at Carlo and Kitty asleep on the rug. I
\\lali men lived half so agreeably with their
wives. " "Stop , " said the lady ; "tie them to
gether nnd see how they will agree. " And
to In this new relation there are many
conditions that arise to challenge hnpppi-
ness. And yet the legitimate fruit of mar-
rage Is happiness , and wo do well to make
the wedding day ono of feasting nnd glad
ness.
The misery of marriage sometimes arises
from mismatlng. I Incline to the theory of
Plato. He taught that men and women wcro
hemispheres of an original sphere ; that Ill-
assorted marriages wcro the result of the
wrong hemispheres getting together ; that If
the two halves met the man became com
plete , and the consequence was complete
happiness. I bellovo the number of unhappy
marriages is comparatively few , and that
their number Is vastly overrated , that those
who are happy In marrlago are as many in
proportion as those who are healthy are to
the sick.
Slany of the unhappy marriages are owing
to bad dispositions. v There are people who
have no capacity for
happiness. Soma nro
constitutionally unhappy , and the most
perfect matrimonial relations would not
mnko such people happy. There are wqmen
In Omaha yho ; would aiot .bo happy If , they
had the angel Gabriel for a husband ; and
then there are men who would Insist that
marriage was a failure even if they had a
wife made to order. "A perfect woman ,
nobly planned , " would not bo able to make
some men happy In their homes. Pandora ,
the all-giftedt would not satisfy them. The
fact Is. the degree of domestic happiness Is
moro often determined by ourselves than by
our life companion.
Good housekeeping Is another condition of
domestic happiness. Good dinners go a long
ways toward making and keeping peace.
The tongue Is also a factor in the preserv
ing of the peace and happiness of the do
mestic relation. There Is a time when
silence Is golden. When you cannot speak
n pleasant word silence Is golden. Angry
talk and small talk are Infinitely worse
than glum silence. You remember the old
rule : "Never both bo angry nt once. "
And then there should be mutual forbear
ance. The golden rule of married life Is
"Bear and forbear , " The secret of happi
ness here as elsewhere , yes more than else
where. Is self-denial.
There must be a , mutual confidence to
make domestic happiness complete. Lives
that have been separate and distant should
now be a unit. The wlfo must Interest
herself in the affairs of the husband and the
husband In the affairs of the wife , else they
will grow , gradually farther nnd farther
apart. Love is another essential to happi
ness. There cannot be a homo without love
any moro than there can be a heaven with
out holiness. Rellzlon Is also nn essen
tial. It Is the peculiar beauty and Joy of
the home. The grace of Christ has made
many n cottase the very gate of heaven.
Leave God out nnd your most perfect homo
Is only a marble statue , having grace and
beauty , but no life.

Wo ran mention no failure more disas
trous than that of physical energy. It In
volves the partial suspension of digestion nnd
assimilative processes , and entails the re
tirement from business of tlio liver and Iclil-

Hosteller's Stomach nitters can the restora
tion of Hi ; former vigorous status bo hoped

llnsliaiKl and U'lfo Fought.
Abe Kopald was the third unruly lord of
creation to bo arrested Saturday night for
beating his wife , but while ho did the beat
ing to a close finish , he had something of an
excuse for his conduct.
At midnight word cama to the police sta
tion that a man was In n fair way to cause
his wife tome very serious Injuries unless
something was done , and that at once , for
her protection.
The patrol wagon was sent to Kopald's
residence , Eighteenth and Vlnton streets ,
and things wore not misrepresented. A
woman Ecrcamtng , a man calling her names
nnd In the act of striking another blow at
her was the state of things. She was en
deavoring to defend herself , but he was bent
on doing the job rightly while ho was at It
and ho did not fall.
When the pollco arrived she did not want
them to take her husband , who always
treated her with kindness and was BO good
In providing for her. Ho was arrested not
withstanding his protests that his wlfo
struck htm first and was going to kill him
with a butcher knife because ho did not
buy her an Easter dress. She was taken
along , too , and together they made night
hideous with their yells and cries as they
were on the road to the station.
Kopald wns locked up and Mrs , Kopald
also , as complaining witness , She was
placed In the woman's cell , and no sooner
was the door locked ( than she set up the most
terrimc whoops tfut wcro over heard about
the city jail. SRC said her ribs were
broken , her utomnali- torn and her back cut.
It was at first tHotlghl she was seriously
Injured and that possibly a rib might have
been broken. Dr. . Towno was called and
made a careful oxnmlnatlon of the woman's
Injuries. They wore painful , but not dangerous
gorous , anil with tn application of a band
age around her waist sliu felt easier , and the
rest of the night remained In comparative
quiet.

HE GOT A5HOUSEKEEPEB.
Jolco oil n ShocniaUnr that Caused n Fight
nntL Arrests.
A shoemaker near Eighteenth and Vinton
streets , having his shop and residence in the
same room , has on several occasions adver
tised for a matronly lady to care for his
household and to cook for an elderly bachelor
with means. Slany of these advertisements
were rdpllod tor. Not a few of the applicants
were young nnuSadvenfurous women looking
for a husband. 'A knock at the Bide entrance
always brought the shoemaker to the door ,
with a smile that spread over his classic
features In a way that was most Inviting.
The young applicant of course always asked
If the shoemaker lived hero nnd If ho was
In. "I blen him , " he would reply , with n
gracious genuflection.
The business that called the young lady
there was soon made known and negotiations
at once entered into. The price was first
agreed upon , and then the duties of a house
keeper for a man of such prominence were
specified. "You will see mine house Is not
so very large and the work vll not bo much. "
This was as far ns negotiations usually pro
gressed , when the young lady would Inquire
as to what sort o room she was to have.
The shoemaker would then draw a llttlo red
curtain and show his private boudoir. "Well ,
where do you sleep ? " was usually the next
question. "Oh , I sleep right there , too , don
you see ? " This always brought the affair
to n close for the young lady , but not always
for the shoemaker.
A young gentleman of 17 chanced to hear
of < 5ne of these sqances and nt once a dovll-
Ish plot commenced to hatch within bis
cranium to play a joke on the old man.
He told his young friends , nnd a plan was
formed. Ho was to dress In female attire
and apply to the shoem'aker for a position
ns housekeeper , and was to agree to all
the requirements that might be prescribed.
Ho was taken through the usual routine ,
and finally he asked where he was to sleep.
The curtain was drawn nnd with n smile
ho showed the young man his sleeping
apartments. Night rolled around , and as
the young man was about to retire the shoe
maker prepared to share .the same bed.r ho
young man objected , but It was no uco. The
shoemaker Insisted that It should bo that
