Former Omaha Ne klioy Wanted for Tnril-
InjT Several Smooth Tricks.
Willie Lltzen , an all around short change
man , highway robber nnd train thief , \vho
for years has given the secret sarvlco de
partment of western railroads no end of
trouble , has about reached the end of his
string , Secret Service Agent William Canada
and his associate , John C. Vlzzard , of the
Union Pacific having captured the smooth
"peanut" worker yesterday on a request
from Assistant United Stntes Mnrshal Dow-
man Cannon of Utah , where Lltzen Is under
Indictment for highway robbery. Ho was
taken to the county jail to await the arrival
of the deputy marshal with extradition
papers.
Lltzen In the early days was a newsboy
for Uarkalow Bros , and ran out of Omaha
on the Union Pacific. After a time he began
to film-Mam his customers until his work
became so open that he was discharged
from the servlca of the newsdealers. This
was the beginning of n series of crimes which
placed him under the surveillance of tlie
railroad officials , but they could got no
direct evidence against him.
Some time ago the depot officer at the
Union Pacific arrested Lltzen on ths charge
of being a suspicious character. Judge
Berkn sentencedtho man to thirty days Im
prisonment , but suspended sentence If Lltzen
would get out of town. This was about a
year ngo , and ho has made Himself scarce
over since. But yesterday ho was seen
on the streets by Vlzzard nnd placed under
nrrest.

Cheerfully I'erformrll r ct About
the Omaha Uriincli.
A short distance west of South Omaha ,
on the sunset slope of n high ridge , Is1 n
largo square fMino building on a stone
foundation. The locntlon Is conspicuous ,
commanding n view of the bustling young
metropolis as well as the Papplo valley on the
west , while over the northeastern hills the
spires and towers of Omaha are visible.
The building \\ns not designated for Its
present use , but has been overhauled suffi
ciently to serve as X temporary homo for
the Sisterhood of the Good Shepherd. The
principal object cf the Institution , as Is
generally known , la the reclamation and rc-
Cortnatlon of fallen women.
ORIGIN OF THE ORDER.
The Order of the Good Shepherd took Its
rise In Franco In 1641. Its founder wns
Father John Eudcs , n zealous priest of
Normandy , France. He was filled with
the love of Christ , as was evinced by his
frequent saying , "When we are Invited to
Jesus Christ , when Ho dwells within us.
what a means wo have cf gaining hearts
to Him ! "
In his missions ho often met with un
fortunate fallen women , wlwm want or pas
sion had cast Into the depths of depravity.
Many of them , as they heard the gentle
priest's voice , longed to turn from the paths
of sin. The greater their fault , the greater
the tenderness and compassion ho would
show them , never falling to stretch out n
helping hand to save these poor sinners.
At his request some plcus persons received
several of these unhappy beings Into their
homes , but such a plan was attended with
objections.
Father Eudes then tried to gather them
all under the same roof and to place them
under the direction of/ those who would un
dertake to bring them back , to a better
life. The Idea wns good , and G : l provided
a way. A poor woman named Madeleine
Lamy , received some of these unfortunates
Into her lowly abode. She taught them to
live according to the precepts of the gcspel ,
and provided for their most pressing wants
by means cf alms which Father Eudes
placed In her hands.
Ono day , In the fall of 1C41 , Fathei
Eudea went with some friends to visit n
neighboring church. Madeleine appeared
suddenly before them nnd thus addressed
them : "What are you doing ? Where
are ' you going ? Wandering about churches ,
gaz'ng at pictures , after which you think
yourselves very plcus. That Is not the
way to do business. You should set to
work nnd found a home for these poor
girls who are being lost for want of care
nnd a way of living. "
These simple , energetic words made a great
Impression en the hearts of her hearers.
They began to consider how they could
give her the needed aid and soon the point
was gained. A house was routed and the
penitents Installed In It November 25 , 1GU.
Some pious women were placed In charge of
this little flock nnd nil followed the regula
tions drawn up by Father Eudes , but as the
women In charge were not strictly bound
to continue in the work they soon became
discouraged at the difficulties which ara well
known to attend nn endeavor of this kind
and ono by one withdrew.
EARLY DIFFICULTIES.
It was then that Father Eudes discovered
the necessity of trying to Induce them to
bind themselves by bonds to continue the
work of reformation. Thus originated the
order known as that of "Our Lady of Charity
of the Good Shepherd. "
For many years the church authorities
refused to countenance the order , regarding
it as Imprudent
to
expose
young and
virtuous ladles to the danger of constant
care-inking intercourse with the depraved
of their own sex. Father Eudes , however ,
" had no such fears ; ho used to say that
"purity united with charity cannot be sullied
any more than the sunbeam Is sullied by
Its contract with the mire. " At length ho
succeeded In obtaining church
approval ,
January 2 , 10GG , and on the Feast of the
Ascension following the sisters were per
mitted to make the three
vows of poverty ,
chastity nnd obedience , to which was added
a fourth , to employ themselves In the care
and Instruction of wonun , who , after having
lived licentiously , desired to enter the house
to be converted.
The establishment of this house was fol
lowed by seven others , which were still In ex
istence at the time of the French revolution
1792 , when these , with nil other religious In
stitutions , were suppressed and their Inmates
dispersed. Those of the sisters who escaped
sought refuge with their families , but many
were consigned to loathsome prisons or ex
iled. The penitents- wandered at will and , un
fortunately , we hove reason to suppose , went
to swell the mob of lawless creatures who
succeeded more than any others In making
that dreadful period , "The Reign of Terror. "
This storm , like all others , spent Itself and
when better days shone for France the com
munity of Our Lady of Charity of Tours was
one of the first to reorganize. Close by the
monastery was a seminary for young ladles ,
one of the mnny which replaced the sup
pressed schools of the sisterhood. This acad
emy was conducted by n woman of remark
able talent and virtue , Madame do Llgnac ,
who ono day admitted a pupil who was des
tined to shed luster on the establishment.
This was Rose Virginia Pelletler , the daugh
ter of an eminent physician of Nolrmontler ,
where Rose was born. When very young her
father died , und her excellent mother , wishIng -
Ing to procure for her every ndvan'nge , sent
her to Tours to complete her education. While
an Inmate of the seminary slio formed the
acquaintance of the nuns of the adjacent
monastery , nnd before she had attnlned her
ISth year she bought permission of her
guardians to enroll her name with those of
the zealous laborers. Her family Insisted
that she take a year to consider the desired
step. She returned to her homo nnd at the
end of the term of probation generously re
nounced homo nnd friends to devote herself
to a work for which , the sequel shows ,
she was eminently fitted. She as
sumed the religious habit September 8 , 1815 ,
receiving the name of Sister Mary of St.
Euphraila. Her rare gifts were soon dis
covered , and opportunities furnished her for
exercising her Indefatigable zeal. Soon nftcr
taking her vows she was Intrusted with the
en re. of the penitents. This employment
brought li\to \ pluy her wonderful talent for
governing , and when a vacancy occurred she
was promoted to teh office of superior.
GROWTH OF THE GOOD WORK.
During her term of office a new Establish
ment wns opened In the city of Angers , In
the west of France , and when she wns re
leased from mipsrlorlty In Tours she was
transferred to the new monastery , which
flourished under her direction. AVhen It vns
decided that more permanent good tould b >
done by the order , If consolidated under ono
head , she wns chosen first general super
ioress of the Order of the Good Shepherd.
The honors multiplied with wonderful rapid
ity , so that between the years 1829 and 16C3
( the year of her death ) , she had established
110 houses of the ordsr In various parts of
the known world.
In 1S43 the order was Introduced Into the
United States by Rt. Rev , n. T. Flag't. the
first homo being opened In Loulavll.e , Ky. ,
and , strange to ray , that although the colony
cninn from the mother home of Angers , In
conservative Frunco , It was aS cosmopolitan
In Its small number as tlu great population
of our country Is. bclyg composed of English ,
Irish , German , Scotch , French and Knllun.
From the Kentucky band hitters were vent
to St. Lowls In 1849 , and It was from the
last n a moil city thut In the mouth of April
jaet , by the invitation of Rt. Rev. R. Sc.ni *
ncll , live. sitters of tip order came to Omaha
to open n refuge for unfortunate girls and
women.
Almost every large c'ly ff the union now
counts a Home of the Good Shepherd among
Its charltiblo Institutions , and very aptly
limy > \o call them "charitable. " for all who
.apply ore admitted , regardless of national
ity or creed , provided th'lr mental and physi

ters of the Good Hlinilicn1 | to loaut that these
locking their aid urn the victims of sin or
sin's consuiucncc loihnvo the door of their
house opened wide 'Cor ' their admission. As
the steadfast coast" munrdiitnan , who never
leaves his post , watches for the unfortunates
of tempest tossed vtssels , eager to receive
from the waves thei wrecked ones cast up to
him , so tnc mm > > ot the Good Shepherd
waits steadfastly at'hcr post In the sheltertd
cloister for the poor wretch tossed hither
and thither on thojwaves of sin. She goes
not abroad to RroMthcnt , but somehow the
Lord brings to hrniithe unhappy ono most
needing the lentil * Shepherd's care. She
sets about their reformation , striving to 1ml-
tnte the gentle kindness manifested by the
Good Shepherd whim he Mid : "Neither do I
condemn thee , go , tin no morel"
CREED NO MAR TO ADMISSION.
Though this Institution Is under the con
trol of memberii of the Catholic church , the
Inmates not of that fnlth never hnve their
religious belief Interfered with. However ,
for obvious rcnxoiiH , principally because they
must always be under the surveillance of the
Bisters , they are present nt the devotional
ns well us other exurclfeji. It Is true , many
after being In the house for n time wish
to embrace the faith of their guardians ,
partly because they nrc touched
by thn chflilty of which they find them
selves the object , nnd partly again by
reason of conviction that In religion they
will find aid to carry out their good resolu
tions for future amendment. In such cases
the sisters first nssuro themselves of the
sincerity of their neophytes , and should
they bo minors the mutter Is submitted to
parents cr guardians for approval.
Every effort Is made to render the Institu
tion self-supporting , but success Is not
always secured , owing to circumstances which
will bo readily understood when explained.
Few , If any , of those who come to the
house are skilled In any kind cf labor. Pains
must be taken to discover for what occu
pation each ono Is adapted ; then heroic pa-
tlcnco must next 'be exercised , not only
to teach them how to work , but to over
come lifelong habits of Idleness. It Is dim-
cult to npprec'ate the struggle that many
of these poor girls .hnve to maintain to sur
mount evil tendencies and strong tempta
tion to exchange for the now life of labor
nnd restraint the old one of case and ,
perhaps , luxury ; hence they have to bo con
stantly encouraged and the greatest for
bearance exercised over them. There must
bo ever patient , unremitting kindness and
an Imperturbable sweetness. These are the
Indispensable conditions of success.
METHODS AND MANAGEMENT.
There are times when n word of fault
finding or reproof , no matter how well
merited , would be productive of the direst
results and undo the \\ork of months nnd
years. All has to be postponed until the
season of gloom and despondency Is passed.
By reason of this the work Is not always
satisfactory nnd the Institution loses rather
than gains by Its efforts at Industry. Then ,
ngnln , the work Is not at nil times rsmuner-
ntlvo nnd It Is readily understood that In
nn Institution of this kind there arc many
Invalids , either so for a time or permanently.
The convent of the Good Shepherd already
counts twenty-four inmates , but this number
In the reformatory will always fluctuate.
Bo It understood that the reformatory Is
not n prison there Is no fixed time for the
stay of the Inmates In the Institution this
Is regulated by their conduct and disposi
tions. When they are judged fit to leave
they nro returned to their family or friends.
If there nre none such to receive them they
are placed In suitable situations. Should
any desire to leave , whom the sisters deem
unfit to cope with the temptations sure to
beset their paths recourse Is had to reasonIng -
Ing and even entreaty to prevail on these
poor , weak ones to prolong their stay. This
Is generally successful , but should the peni
tent persist In demanding to leave , If over
age , she Is dismissed , for it Is only those
over whom parents or guardians have d le
gated their authority to the sisters who arc
detained by force.
From the fact that Rome , even many of
these poor girls overcome by natural weak
ness and the efforts of wicked companions
return to the old lifeof sin and shame , there
arc those who at the , present day as well as
at the date of the first reformatory think
that the labor to reclaim them Is not In vain.
Not so. The reformations may be well rated
at 75 per cent.One thlng is sure , those
who return to nn evil life nre nlways re
ported by others who
como from the same
walks , whereas many who remain firm in
virtue are lost sight of. They often remove
to places remote to begin life nnew , or should
they remain In the same city they seldom
find It to their advantage to have it known
they were at ono time Inmates of a reforma
tory. Hence , too , their objection to being
seen by visitors going through the Institution.
Oftentimes offer leaving the Good Shep
herd asylum they sever nil connections with
It , lest n casual visit would cause them to be
suspected. There nro some , however , who ,
nnlmnted with the grateful love which char
acterized the Magdalen of old , brave scorn
and reproach to follow the promptings of
their hearts , none the less noble because
once bowed down with sin nnd sorrow.
THE SUPMEME REWARD.
The sisters of the Good Shepherd are
often consoled by the visits of such , than
whom no more welcome guest ever enter
their portal , and they feel that to save one
of these Is a life of labor well spent. But the
moment of supreme consolation for n nun
of the Good Shepherd must bo that when she
kneels at the bedside of the dying penitent
listening to themurmurred prayer to God
for mercy mingled with a sweet expression of
love and gratitude for the friends who helped
to smooth the path her poor feet had to tread.
Yet those lips now moving In prayer were
oftlmes In the days of sin sullied by
the ribald jest and appalling oath. She
would perhaps have gone to meet her out
raged God with such staining them had
not a helping baud rescued her. Those
lips are purified now , the fire of
passion has been replaced in the
fast dimming eyes by the
light of God's holy peace. No anguish Is
depicted on the brow , though the brain may
bo busy wl h the past. She may be telling
over and over again the story of her wasted
years , but she has repented , and her trust In
the pardoning love of her Savior is unswerv
ing ; her heart Is calm , though at times there
Is a pang when memory carries her back to
the days of her Innocence , there were loved
ones then to caress , to soothe where nro
they now ? Perchance , you will find thorn
amid the glitter of some festive scene from
which nil thought of care Is bunlshcd , or
enjoying the quiet pleasures of n luxurious
home , and yet they are linked with the dying
penitent by the closest ties of blood. But
she > In a moment of folly committed the un
pardonable sin which broke the bond and she
wandered forth an outcast. She may have
repented ; heaven may hnve blotted out her
sin , but In the home which she has deso-
cra'ed- will never be forgiven. No matter ,
she has her friends , noble , pure women and
true-hearted , honest men have at all times
been found ready . .to render assistance to
this work. The lady of rank , wealth and re
finement , over the- purity of whoso life God
has so watched as , to guard It from even
the suspicion of evil , does not heslta'e to
bend to the lowly nenltent , to raise her to the
path where she liertolf stands firm. So the
poor , shattered ven el reaches the port , life's
storms are ended .and the chastened spirit Is
with God , while /Ifer history Is burled In a
nameless grave and In the hearts of the
Sisters of the GOOOJI Shepherd.

been made on all the railroads , so that It Is
expectsd several thousand Woodmen and
strangers will be In the city.
It lias been the endeavor of the officers of
the Eastern Nebraska Logrolling association
nnd the members of the locnl committee to
make this one of the mast enthusiastic , In
structive und entertaining sessions which the
association has ever held. The Courtinnd
Beach association has been very liberal in Its

Second Infantry band will also give a number
of fine musical selections.
A fine athletic program has been ar
ranged , to commence nt 3 o'clock , to be par
ticipated In by Woodmen or Woodmen's
wives and daughters. The athletic sports
will consist of various races , and In each
contest first nnd second prizes will be given
to the winners.
The great spectacular performance , "The
Last Days of Pompeii , " will be given in
the evening , and this night will be known
as the "Modern Woodmen's Night , " and
many spectacular pieces will be Interspersed
which will bo emblematic of the Modern
Woodmen of America. All Modern Wood
men nnd visitors have been Invited by the
Courtland Beach association to attend this
performance and see some of the emblematic
work of the order emblazoned In words and
characters of fire.
The Modern Woodmen of America has
been Increasing In membership very rapidly
during the last few years , and nt present
the membership Is over 110,000 nnd new
members coming In at the rate of 3,000 or
4,000 per month. Nebraska Is the third
state In the jurisdiction In the number of its
members , and the city of Omaha has more
Woodmen than any other city within the
limits of the order.
Sons \eterans. .
A Jolly crowd of young men left Omaha
yesterday nfternoon for Davenport , la. , to
attend the meeting of the Nntlonnl Encamp
ment of the Sons of Veterans. A. II.

of the commandery In chief at this place.
The boys have gotten out some unique ad
vertising material nnd the Commercial club

Dnlteil Workmen Mukn Change * .
At the recent nnminl session of the supreme
premo lodge of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen Severn ) changes were Introduced
In the regulations of the order. Among
thcRo was the adoption of a traveling card
to enable delegates to attend. Heretofore
this has not been the rule , admittance being
given on the required signs of the order.
The emblem of the Degree of Honor was
also changed , and Is now as follows : A
heart crossed obliquely downward from left
to right , with words "Tnllthn Cuml , " nnd
surrounded with a wrenth of mistletoe. The
badge Is n circular medal , ono and one-fourth
Inches In diameter , with the above emblem
suspended from n pin bar onennd one-fourth
Inches In length , having the letters "A. O.
U. W. " on It , by n rlbon ono Inch wide nnd
two Inches long gathered Into a. ring half
nn Inch In diameter at the lower und , to
which the medal Is attached. The color
of the medal part Is yellow and the ribbon
pink.
At the same mce'lng a call was made for
a new Ancient Order of United Workmen
ritual. Three prizes were offered nf $200 ,
$100 , $50 , open to all members of the order
nnd to be decided nt next session of the supreme
premo lodge.
Ten thousand dollars was Bet asldo to bo
under the control of the supreme master
workman nnd the relief board In building up
wenk Jurisdictions.
The record of 1S9.1 , ns shown from the nn-
nunl reports , gives net Increase In member
ship over nil losses , 1G.77C. Death rate per
1,000 members , 10.11. Average number o"

Ing the month of June $ G2lltil.S'J wns pale
out of the beneficiary fund. Two thousand
seven hundred nnd forty-five new members
were ndmlt'ed ' during the same period.
The statement has been published that" no
one who has been suspended from the order
can bo reinstated If over 45 years of age ,
The rule upon which this claim Is made Is
as follows :
"Members who have been Indefinitely sus
pended or expelled must ba under 45 years of
nge to bo relnstntrd. "
The officers of the order make most
ctdcd objection to such nn Interpretation as
the above. They say that It is Incorrect , ns
any one , except these noted In the rule , mny
bo reinstated nt nny time within six mouths
without regard to nge. They think the fra
tcrnlty of the order Is well illustrated by this
fact , as well as by the further fact thnt no
ono Is allowed to become suspended during
sickness.
