Standing room was at a premium In Lloyd'
opera house last night , the announccmen
that the noted pulpit orator , Ilev. T. DoWll
Talmage , vvcs to apeak having been sufllclen
to attact a very large crowd. The occasion
of Dr. Talmago's visit to Onnha anil hla
appearance before an Omaha audience vva
the fact that he , In company with Lout
Klorsch , editor of the Christian Herald , anc
Miss Leltch , a missionary wlo Ins spent th
laot seventeen years In India , arc tourlnj ,
the United States for the purpcnc of securing
donations ot money or corn to be Rent tc
the Uarvlng people In the famine etrlckcn
districts of India. The donations ot con
last night amounted to 1,300 bushels , am
n very respectable sum was realized In casl
when thu collection boxes were passed. Th
carrying m of the work thus begun was lef
lu the hands of a local committee which wa
appointed last night.
S\licn the hour of S o'clock had arrive. .
there was not a vacant ecat In the house ?
nvcty seat , Including the gallery , vvaa filled
and a number of people were standing In
thf lobby.
An Invitation from Chairman Wharton to
all ministers In the audience to occupy scat
on the stage boon filled the many chair ?
placed for the purpose. When the chairs
were filled Hev. Mr. Talmago emerged fron
the wings As hit' famll'ur form and face
were recognized a burst of applauae wcl
coined him
Chairman Wharton stated briefly the pur
I ( o of the meeting and introduced the
level end speaker In a fev well chcson worila
.Mr T.ilmago commenced his address by
i few pleasant remarks about the pleasure
ho ] foil In addressing n Nebiaska audience
Unterlng ] upon his subject the spe'aker epokc
for txveial minutes about sympathy. He toll
a nutnbeof anecdotes illustrating sympathy
in various forim K1s descriptions were real
Istlc and several of the climaxes were np
plaudcd.
CIiniST I.I VCD IN INDIA.
Entering upon the real subject of h'o
lecture , Mr Talmage gave a graphic doosr
tlon ot the country of India He said the
Christian people of all the world are tlci"
doscly to the people of Abla and India by
the f.ict that Christ was a mtlvo of Asia
and was never out of that countrv during
His ' cirthly stay. The speaker asserted that
the Interval In Christ's life between the
ages of 12 and 30 years was spent In India
He said the Dlble makes no reference to this
Interval in the life of the Saviour , but the
historical records of India nhow tint a gr
and gland personage visited that countiy at
this time , and the speaker asserted that this
pcison-ige was Christ.
Iho bpeakcr then referred to a number ol
American missionaries who had done ex
cellent work In India.
From this land , ho said , SO 000,000 people
are crying for aid. They arc In. various
stages of starvation and at leist 10 000,000
will j.Tlsh before relief can icach them In
1 1 , he said , C 000,000 people died of starva
tion and the present situation is much worse.
The ; speaker drew a graphic picture of the
horrors of starvation and of the situation
In Ind'a ' now.
"America has heird this cry and one ohip
bai already gone and another is about to
ball , carrying relief to these suffeilng people
ple , " shouted the speaker. Continuing , he
told of the v.ork wlilch has been done by
the Christian Herald. He said since this
work of touring the country had been under
taken 2W.OOO bushels of com had been
gathered and ntarted on Its way to these
Buffering people.
PUA TO HOLD OUT.
Mr. Talmage said the present famine Is
wor o than that of Hu'fila a few years ago
or of any that hna occurred In Ireland. He
expressed the hope tint a ship would bo
sent to India by each of the large cities in
the United States and he drew a touching
picture of the joy which would bo aroused
In the \\retched lives of the starving people
of India by these chips Ho asked the people
to support him In crying to these people to
hold out juot a little longer1 In the name of
the Asiatic Christ until relief ean reach
them He said this would form a most ex
cellent opportunity for evangelising the pee
ple of India , by folioing the example of
Christ In giving the people first the broid
ot thla llfo and then giving them tbo bread
of the fiitnie life
Tno ppeaker elcsed by making a strong and
stirring appeal to his hearers to take a liana
In f'o relief woik
diali man Whaiton then Introduced Mlsa
Loltcli. 'who began
her talk by n few sen
tences In the Indian language and nalil It
might poiliaps bring tiio people nearer to
the nmllonco if site sang it native pong and
then she sang the Indian tiansl.ition of
"Jesus I/OVPS Me "
-\Ilbs Leltcli spoke rapidly of the condition
of the people In the famine-stricken dis
tricts of India. She said that thousands are
dying cvory hour. They die In their houses ,
In the fields , along the roadsides as they
strive to i each the rollef stations , some-
tlmcs twenty-llvo or 100 miles away. She
said the stieet sweepers every morning
bweon up tlui boJIea of thcso who have died
during t.Mo night ,
Jho n'ado a stirring appeal for aid for
these people. She reminded her hearers
that money could bo cable < l to them In forty-
eight hours She said the noble army of
misslon.nilcs In India are ready and willIng -
Ing to administer any aid that may bo dent
and she- appealed to the people to support
thcso self-denying people In their efforts
to jcllevo the condition ot the starving na
tives.
MILLION'S TOR CHEWING GUM
The speaker said that during the past
year this country had contributed only $ n-
000,000 for foreign missions , while ? JJ,000-
000 was spent for chewing gum , and she
numerated a number of other Items of pub
lic expenditure which stood out in ationg
eontiast with the amount eontrlbuted to
missionary work She said that when Uio
returned to this countiv after an absence
of seventeen years the one thing that as
tonished her above nil others was the lux
ury apparent ) on every sldo In the dally llfo
of the people.
Returning to the conditions In India , the
fcprakor said the people there are selling
their 'hlldrrn ut 30 cents each In order to
avoid Doping them tllo before their eyes She
chew a most touching picture of the distress
of these people , describing their dally llfu
and their painful destitution
In oUsliig Mia , Lelteh exhorted the auill-
cnco to contribute liberally to the cause of
the sufferers

The outposts of Osman Pasha's army was
not In Omaha last evening , although the
crescent and fez vvcro very much In evidence
among the throng which gathered t the
Crclghton theater. This peculiar Insignia ot
the Ottoman empire was worn by as brave
and gallant A lot of nohlra ot the Mystic
Shilne s ever crowed a desert or declined
to Invert a wine glass at a banquet board ,
They had risked the infliction of a potslblo
fital thirst In crossing the burning sands
simply to pay tribute to a brother noble
who had ncl.levod great distinction In his
nronulta upon the hearts and exchequers of
the Infidel hordts.
In fact , because DeWolf Hopper Is a
Shrlncr the members of that order In this
cltv went to the box ofllce of the Crolghton
and deliberately bought the laigcr portion ot
the- scats on the first floor and Invited the
brethren to attend They did so , clad In
evening suits and a fez Many of the women
who accompanied them also wore a fez. The
effect upon the general appearance of the
crowded plcyhoueo was very unique. The
bovcs were also decorated with the banners
of tbo Shrine , and taken all In. all U wru
distinctly a Shrine gathering. Whlto the
nobles enjoyed the performance , or seecmed
to from the volume ot their applause , they
did not overlook the fact that their camels
were le'ft on the outside , and after
each act a delegation would tepalr to
the cxterloi to look after the comfort ol
their faithful beasts.
When the great comedian made his first
appearance upon the stage last evening l.e
woio a fcnnd was accorded n pleasing re
ception. Ho did not wear It after the flrut
net , but neir the close of the lasl
act. In response to a fourthly In a recall , he
did a little byplry , whlcli was distinctly
Shrlncsquc" . He asked Estrelda ( Mrs Hop
per ) If pile- wished to tit'como n Shilner
blindfolded her. Ho then had a lackey
bring In a quart pill of sand. This was duly-
heated by the burning of a match under the
pall , and was tlien sprinkled ever the lloor
Some one of the Shrlners called for a rope ,
and during the sprinkling of the satil. an
other called out. "Step high" all of v.hlch
were ilulv appreclited by the socict society
men In the audience After Hstrelda had
walked over the burning pand' , Hopper placed
o fer upon her head and declared she was a
Shrlner , amid the plaudits of the nobles and
others In the audience.
Mr Hopper was forced to respond with i
speech twice dining the evening , and did It
graciously. They were not perfunctory II.-
tle remarks , but he seemed to take the audl-
cnco into his conlldcnce and tieklcd their risi
bilities with his grotesque style and Indls-
putaoly showed that lie was pleaded with tl.o
icceptlon lie had received He was socially
felicitous In his ternaries addr ssi'd lo the
Shrlncis , and undoubtedly created In I'lelr
nilmlx tbo opinion tint the honoi ef tlm cider
was not unworthily bestowed A hen he was
commanded to hold fast to the rope.
The audience and company were In full
sympathy , the evening was an cnjovablc one
not only from a financial standpoint to the
company , but entertainingly to the audience ,
and mutually satisfactory all aiound.
