FATHER RYAN DELIVERS ARRAIGNMENT
rarest Who Admit. Omr of Tb
Venomoaa Kkrcts to Homo Galltr
of Little Leas Than
Crime.
Kev. Father Ryan devoted part of his
sermon at tb I o'clock maas at St.
John's Collegiate church Sunday morning
to denouncing yellow Journalism. He pro
nounced yellow newspapers, as the term
Is commonly understood, as "unqualifiedly
bad." II declared they should never be
taken Into the homo and that parents' who
permitted their children to read them,
roost particularly the Sunday Issues, were
guilty of a fault little short of a crime.'
"A person does not need to go to the
yellow Journals for any Information that
Is worth having." said Father Ryan.
"There are plenty of other newspapers of
restraint and decency that contain all the
real news and opinion of the day. The
Ideas of murder, arson and adultery so
constantly and vlgorounly exploited by the
yellow press cannot fall to have a bad ef
fect on the readers. I am at a loss to
understand why people subscribe to them
at all. What floes It matter to you or me
If we do not hear of some detestable crime
or perrerslon of morals happening In some
far off corner of the earth?
"The mind of the child Is peculiarly sus
ceptible to the kind of matter made the
most of In the yellow press. If you, your
self, must read this kind of a newspaper,
for plty'i sake arrange so that your chil
dren cannot do so."
The sermon concerned dangers to faith
and morals through Improper reading.
PI.EA FOR THE HOLY SABBATH
Her. Clyde Clay Clsscll Bearlaa Series
of Sermona,
Rev. Clyde Clay Clssell, pastor of the
Hanscom Fark Methodist church, delivered
the first of a series of sermons on practical
themes Sunday morning. His topic was
"God's Day; a Flea for the Sabbath." and
bis text was "Remember the Babbath to
Keep It Holy " He said:
"The Babbath was, made for man and not
man for' the Sabbath No Institution Is
more dlvlns than the Sabbath. It came
from God's own hand. The World has many
material things which man has made and
man Is conceited over the work he has
accomplished and the things he has done,
but no man can take ny credit for origin
ating anything whatsoever of the Sabbath,
for the Sabbath was In reality before man.
"Sabbath day and the marriage laws are
some of the laws of . God which ate still
maintained, although there are no laws
more assailed than those respecting the
Sabbath day ' and the marriage laws.
Knemles are on all sides to assail the Sab
bath and also to take hearthstones from the
borne and .to wipe out the marriage vow.
It la a slgnlflcent fact that these two are
assailed and have been through all ages.
"The enemies of the Sabbath are ceaseless
and untiring. If the Sabbath day Is to be
maintained it will not be by legislative
enactment but by ourselves working to
keep the Sabbath Idea holy. God was at
work for years on His plan and was un-
weary. He formed creation during six long
periods called days and when He saw
everything He 'had made was good he
rested on the Seventh.
"I am pleading for Qod's day, not for
legislative enactment, nothing carved by
human skill. I want a day that wears the
tamp of God's own hand. Worldllnesa Is
always the enemy of Ood and It grows more
crafty In the lapse of years. The Jews
made the Sabbath day a terror In the time
f Christ, by their straight-laced laws. It
was unlawful to tie a camel's knot or to
tie a boataman's knot on the Sabbath be
, cause both hands were required.
"God s laws are built on common sense.
The Sabbath day la to bring blessings to
roan Even a railroad car wheel Is better
for a period of rest eech week and Is longer
lived. Surely this then is the case with
man. If he lets the molecules of his anatomy
rest after the tension of the week's labor
and enjoys tho blessings of communion with
Ood In His house on the Sabbath day."
HAPFIXESS HELPING OWE ANOTHER
Re. Dr. Minn) Decries the SelfUa.
eaa of the Commercial Spirit.
At Unity church Sunday morning Dr.
Mann, the pastor, spoke from the saying
In Romans xiv:7, "None of us Uveth to
himself." He prefaced by alluding briefly
to the luck that sometimes makes notable
the successes of people who come from the
loaeUnea of hack woods districts to the great
centers of 'population." "Multitudes are of
VahM to the . Individual because of the
chance they afford him to bring them- Into
his services. There Is a great deal of the
preaching of material success these days,
too much by far. .Our Alexanders and Na
poleons light their battles on 'change.
With their tremendous resources they move
on the populous centers because of the
great profits to be there gained. They do
rot seek to create wealth, but to gather It
In. Wherever the whole community be
comes affected with the disorder decay
sets In. .
"Legitimate enterprise Is all right, but
reckless grafting It demoralizing to all con
nected with It. This la the class of para
sites who are sucking the life blood of this
human tree. They dr not realise that the
well-being of one should be the well-being
of all. Success at the expense of . others
is bitterly disappointing in the end. Men
best help themselves In the long run by
helping one another. Happiness Is not at
tained by drawing from others, but by
drawing with them. Morally, we go up
together, or we do not go up at all. The
great means- of moral culture Is the prac
tice of kindness.
"If we profit In the high sense by what
we da for our neighbor we must do It for
his sake, not for our own. The man who
does a purely unselfish act will, as by a
divine surprise, be benefited himself. Man
mounts heavenward by earnestly and daily
doing his task without regard to personal
profit. To have a full realisation of the
blessings of Ufa one must learn to give as
well as to take. The live man the man

Existence of the Charoh.
"What Is the Holy Catholic Church," was
the subject of Rev. A. S. C. Clarke's ser
mon Sunday' night at Lowe Avenue I'resby
torinn church.
"You have Just repeated In the creed,"
said Mr. Clarke, that you believe In the
holy Catholic church. Now, what is the
holy Catholic surch? From questions 1
have had asked of me and from other
observations, I have, reason to know that
some people think the Rornun Catholic
church Is meant. The word Catholic is of
Greek origin, brought over Into the Eng
lish. It means whole, entire, universal.
When we say Catholic church, we mean
the universal church. 'Roman Catholic' is
a misnomer, becauxe when you say iioraan
you localize, nnd you cannot have a local
universal church.
"Paul's reference to the church of Christ
as a body Is a favorite one and a good one.
The various denominations are the mem
bers of the body, of which Christ Is the
head. People say: 'To what body of
Christians do you belong?' The, question
is itnelf confusing. Of course there can
be but one body of Christ on earth, and
one can belong to but one body of Christ.
But people may say, "To what part of the
body do you belong?' Unfortunately, or
fortunately, there are many denominations
worshiping the same God and professing
faith in the same Savior. Sometimes they
arrogate to themselves the name of 'the
church." None of them Incorporate all the
members of Christ's mystical body. His
body, His real church, Is composed of all
of them; Is found in nil places where men
call upon the name of the IiOrd out of a
pure heart. This is the Catholic, the uni
versal church.
"It has been the dream of the saints of
God for centuries that there will be a union
of all denominations, and all will be
worshiping God and worshiping Him In
the same manner. We are crying for
church unity. Yet denominations continue
to stand up for the principles of truth
they represent rather than have church
unity. But In great diversity there Is yet
great unity. Just as . science teaches that
all the multiform lives ' sprang from one
form of life. It is the Spirit that unites
the members to the body. All Christians
recognise themselves as members of the
universal body."
RELATION OP CHVRCH TO WORLD
Sebject Dlaenaaed by Or. F. i. Stein
of Lincoln.
In discussing "The Relation of the Church
to the World" at St. Marjj's Avenue Con
gregational church Sunday morning, Dr. F.
S. Stein of Lincoln said:
"We may know a thing wltjiout knowing
all about it. We certainly do not know all
about the sun, but we know there is a sun.
We may be able to apprehend a truth with
out being able to comprehend it. The man
who says I cannot believe because I cannot
understand, talk nonsense. If that man
lived up to that creed he would have to go
out of the business of living Inside of a
v.-eek.
"In the plan created by God we are nec
essary In the saving of souls as Jesus is
necessary. He said 'Ye are the light of the
world.' This means that you and I are
charged with a sense of responsibility that
we must face, difficult and heavy though it
seem. As human, finite beings we cannot
adequately apprehend God.
"I hold that even though man had not
fallen into sin it would hare been necessary
for God to incarnate Himself In order that
we might apprehend Him. Among other
thing Jesus' advent In the world was to
show us the Father. He who hath seen
Me hath seen the Father.' The only God
that you and I cad ever really understand
Is the Ood reflected In the flesh.
"Christians are the compass plants In the
storm of life. Men are so blinded by pas
sion and sin that the heavens are overcast.
They are bewildered, and lost. Yon can go
to them and tell them of your experience
and what you have gained by serving God
and listening to Christ. Men will under
stand thla though they do not care a rap
for all the theology In the world. I have
never known anyone to Ve saved except
through some other redeemed soul. God
acta through human Instrumentality. His
spirit is everywhere, but Is exercised only
through the human heart."

This Morning.
Thomas W. Irving will try to explain to
Judge Berka this morning how It happened
that he was found wandering around In
side O. J. Keneft's saloon at Twenty-eighth
avenue and Farnam streets at t o'clock
Sunday morning. Irving claim that be
had gone Into the closet of the saloon Just
before closing time Saturday night and
fell asleep, and was locked in, and that he
was trying to And his- way out when he
was arrested.
E. M. Tuttle, Paul Hauser and P. Y. Kite
were arrested early Sunday morning on
the charge of breaking Into Frank Dchan's
saloon at Fifteenth street and Capitol ave
nue and taking a sack containing $10 from
the Ice box. Behan noticed two cf the
men hanging around his saloon during the
afternoon and evening, and was suspicious
of them and kept a pretty close watch
on them. He is of the opinion that one
of them slipped over to the rear window
on the Capitol avenue side and sprang
back the window lock during the evening,
and that then the gang lay In wait and
watched him put the money Into the Ice
box at closing time. He -had a pretty good
description of the men, and as soon as he
discovered his loss Sunday morning he
notilled the police and the parties were
located, one of them being at the European
hotel and the others were taken In a
short while after. In addition to the
money the alleged burglars got away with
a box of cigars, some liquors and other
minor valuables.

Dr. Ueorge L. Miller Ontllnea Pre
grant Decided on by Committee
for Nest Saturday's Catherine
at Nebraska City.
, Dr. George L. Miller returned Sunday
from Nebraska City, where he has been In
conference with the members of the Morton
Monument association relative to the un
veiling of the monument, which will take
place there at 3 p. m. Saturday, October 28.
Dr. Miller said:
"J spent the night at Arbor Lodge and
part of Sunday with the members of the
Morton Memorial Monument association of
Nebraska City, and I can now add some
what to the details regarding the unveiling
ceremonies. There has been some neces
sary delay In the announcement of the
program on account of securing the accept
ances of eminent men of this and' other
states to witness and speak on that occa
sion. "In company with Joy Morton I visited
the monument and observed It closely. It
is a veritable gem of sculptural art, and the 1
statue itself Is one of the finest pieces of
sculpture that can be produced In this coun
try. Tho setting of the monument and Us
surroundings, with Its background of forest
trees, is beautiful and appropriate, and Is
in all pertaining to It a high conception of
art, both In its permanent location and the
statue itself.
"Ample accommodations have been pro
vided for the great throngs of people who
are expected to come. Nothing will be left
undone by the committee of arrangements
and reception for their comfort. The com
mittee appreciates the Importance of the
event as a historical matter. Important not
alone to Nebraska, but to the country at
large.
Cleveland nnd Other Notables.
"Among the visitors expected are ex-Pres-ldent
Cleveland and the surviving member
of his cabinet, and many of the most emi
nent men in the country In commercial,
manufacturing, mercantile, banking and
other lines. A list of those who have given
assurances that they will be present In
cludes ex-President Grover Cleveland, ex
Vice President Adlal Stevenson of Illinois,
ex-Secretary of the Interior D. R. Francis
of Missouri, ex-Secretary of the Navy Her
bert, ex-Attorney General Harmon of Ohio,

B. Harris of the Chicago, Burlington A
Qulncy Railway company, E. O. Potter,

Walsh of Chicago, Charles G. Dawes of
Illinois and others of like eminence.
"The plans of the management committee
are for short addresses by all the promi
nent visitors, except that of ex-President
Cleveland, who will deliver the principal
address In his own time and manner. Gov
ernor Mickey will preside during the cere
monies. He will be introduced by Vice
President John Btelnhart of the Monument
association, who will have charge of the
Initial proceedings. Governor Mickey will
deliver the first address and will in all
probability be followed by Mr. Cleveland,
and he by several members of his former
cabinet, with an -fldress also by ex-Vice

COWELL TURNSCLEVER TRICK
Male Shoplifter Caught with the
Goods on and Gete n Rnd -Wrench.
An Omaha business man turned his know
ledge of Jiu-jitsu to good account the other
day and by use of It managed to hold a
male shoplifter In fils store until the police
and the patrol wagon arrived. The busi
ness man was Robert Cowell of Thomas
Ktlpatrick 4 Co. He was passing through
the store when he noticed a pair of women's
stockings dangling from the coat tall of a
tall, well-dressed man. Mr. Cowell sup
posed the hose had been caught to the
man's garment, probably by the price tag.
Before saying anything about It, however,
Cowell lifted the man's coat and was sur
prised to see that the stockings . were
jammed In a hip pocket. A closer Inspec
tion of the man, without his knowledge, re
vealed a peculiar hulk in the breast of his
coat Stepping suddenly forward Mr. Co-
well wrenched open the coat of the thief.
when several pairs of stocking dropped to
the floor.
The shoplifter made a violent move pre
liminary to making a run for the door: Mr.
Cowell saw that a struggle was up to him.
He recalled the Jlu-Jltsu literature he had
been reading, which he had procured chiefly
to satisfy his daughter's Interest In the
Japanese science. So he grasped the thief
by the wrist and shoulder and applied one
of the Jiu-jitsu wrenches guaranteed to kill
or cure. The big shoplifter doubled up and
begged for merry and the store full of
women clerks and patrons breathed a sigh
of relief. ,
Mr. Cowell then marched the man to the
rear of the store and kept him there until
the police arrived and took htm in custody.
Before this the shoplifter begged for clem-
ency, was refused it, threatened to burn
' down the store after he had served his
punishment, which he said could be no
more than thirty day for petit larceny and
was told to do his worst.
He got thirty days and Mr. Cowell Is now
promulgating the virtues of the art of Jlu-
Jltsu wherever he can find listener.

AT TKE PLAY HOUSES
"Rome Folks" at the Boyd.
Charles T. Dasey surely had Broadway
and not the Illinois bottom of the Missis
sippi river In mind when he devised "Home
Folks ' for stage purposes. Only on this,
or some similar theory can hi grotesque
exaggeration be accounted for. In hi ef
fort at realism Mr. Dasey ha overshot the
mark, and Instead of producing pictures
that thrill because of the memories they re
call, has given us scene that rather make
us smile as we think how unlike they are
to anything in real life. Life In Illinois
along the river, or In the rural districts
anywhere forty years ago, was picturesque
enough In a homely way. and If faithfully
depicted on the stage would be sufficiently
welcome. This has been proven again and
again by the success of plays that deal
lu.nertly with the country folks, but the
little bit of reality offered by Mr. Dasey
Is so overwhelmed by the unreal that it
loses any value it might have had. The
tale told by the play Is one of minor Im
portance, and yet could be made interest
ing, were It allowed to flow along a natural
course. Instead of being halted at stated
Interval to Introduce a comic weekly con
ception of life In' the country during the
latter '60. And the machinery on which
Mr. Pasty's plot depends Is so poorly put
together, that It has to turn backwards a
time or two In order to keep the thing
running at all.
The play has the tons of scenery prom
ised, - the setting of each act being real
istic In the extreme. No one at all familiar
with either rural or river scenery will
question the taste In this regard, for It Is
excellent. Especially Is this true of the
steamboat that brings .up the picnickers,
and then hauls them away In the last act.
That Is a triumph of stage mechanism. But,
how, Mr. Dazcy, how did the squire and
the widow, and Polly, and Joe. and the
others who had sailed away on that bout.
get ashore In time to be present at the
closing scene of the play? We know they
were due there, but according to your
scenario they were on their way across
the Mississippi river at a point where It is
at least a mile wide. Just as they came
strolling on from the right of the stage.
Don't you think that 1 asking a little too
much of us?
The company is good; It Is good enough
for a far better play. Edwin Arden Is a
strong leading man, and Joseph W. Smiley
play the "devil". part In a Subdued but
forceful way. Archie Boyd, William H.
Burton, Arthur C. Saunder and Charles
Newton contributed well" conceived char
acter sketches to the piece, and Kale Les
ter does her part well. Mary Ryan looks
sweet and acts well In the costumes of
forty years ago, and Mabel Brownell gives
perhaps the strongest bit of work of the
whole performance In the role of Sis Dur
kee, a "bottomite." '
"Home Folks" will be presented at the
Boyd again this evening and on Tuesday
evening.
"The Lost Paradise" at the Borwood.
Melodrama to the front at the Burwood
this week, and the customary large Sun
day crowds near the curbstone when they
would, like very much' to be In the the
ater. The piece deals with differences be
tween capital and labor, hut not such as
exist today. Instead of unions fighting
against a trust, the 'unorganized employes
of an ironwork go out because the pro
prietor insists on being foolish In choosing
a son-in-law and living above his rightful
Income. By reason of the heroism of the
superintendent,, who is a wronged man In
several respects, and his love for the own
er' wife, the day fa gained for labor. It Is
contrived so as t6"-Wln the sympathies of
the audience early sfld often. When the
situation gets tnft1 kf4nse a few comedy

days' sickness and was warmly received.

man, not wicked, but selfl-h. and manages
to get the hisses In plenty. One of the
best character bits Is done by Frederick
Fulton as Schwsrts. Mary v Hill exhibits
new and satisfactory powers as a factory
girl. Harry McKee made a hit of goodly
proportions In a comic part and deserves
the reward. Alma ' Rutherford has a part

Vaudeville at the Orphcnm.
fit's a laughing bill from end to end at
the Orpheum this week. Each turn adds
something to the merriment of the enter
tainment, offered, and taken together tho
whole is sure "to leave them laughing when
they say goodbye." Rose Stahl easily com
mand the premier position. She, Is offer
ing a Uttle character sketch that is simply
a gem of purest ray In the. way 'of quiet
comedy. Patricia O'Brien Is a bit lifted
out of real life, and Is offered a her simple
self, with no especial adornment. It Is a
chorus girl opening the eyes of a society
leader, and Incidentally giving some points
to a lot of people in "the audience as to a
phase of life of which they have but haxy
notions, and these generally distorted by
the medium through which they are re
ceived. Miss Stahl Is naturally quaint, and
by her directness achieves her effect with
a certainty that 1 absolute. Her comedy
Is clean, and the lesson she conveys Is ag
that will do nobody any harm, and 1 so
happily administered that Its very truth
Is made palatable. Her assistants are good.
The rest of the bill has musical feature
contributed by the Four Emperors, who
play well on a selection of horn and on
harmonicas, and Introduce a little harmless
comedy In their performance, and by Susie
Fisher, who sings exclusively at the lower
range of a heavy contralto voice. She
sacrifices whatever of melodic quality her
voice might have to secure the advertised
baritone effect In her case one Is most
forcibly reminded of the sententious remark
of one of the great masters, who said: "A
tenor voice Is a disease, and a baritone
Is a disappointed tenor." Redford and Win
chester do some really good Juggling, and
add a lot of the most laughable clowning,
so that they furnish one of the best act
of the sort ever seen at the Orpheum.
Jolson, - Palmer and Jolson do just what
they advertise, a little of everything, and
make a most enjoyable feature, and the
same Is true of Louise Carver and Genie
Pollard, who were last seen here four year
ago, and are still good. Burton' dogs are
the best yet. and his high Jumping dogs are
unrivalled. The klnodrome has some good
pictures. Both performances yesterday
were witnessed by crowds that packed the
theater, and pleased the assemblages
mightily. . "

The appearance of Haverly' minstrel
yesterday at the Krug served once more
to prove that minstrelsy hajt not lost It
charms. The house was well filled on both
occasions and a, hip hurray of applause and
laughter was maintained from start to
finish. The company la a pleasing one with
some stars that are particularly clever.
Billy . Beard. Fred P. Russell, end men;
Gardner and Comers, talking acrobats and
Marseilles, a veritable wlsard an acro
bat, carry off first money. Soma songs,
some lilts, some stunt possess .unusual
merit apd as a whole the company works
with a most gratifying facility and un
common freedom from the loo-often state
ness of similar affair. It must be aald
of Marseilles, whose part Is aside from
the minstrelsy, that his performance are
astonishing; hi tlmbernes almost Incon
ceivable for human flesh. The company
gives a special matinee this afternoon and
It final performance tonight.
MOTORMANIAC STOPPED SHORT
Carelessly Thrown stone Lands In the
Rnnnlns; Gear et Anto nnd
Makee Troahle.
Motor enthusiasts In the bon-ton west
end district often abuse the amenities by
cruising up and down Farnam street at
excessive speed, greatly to the menace to
the live of the many pedestrians and
street car patrons who use the thorough
fere. Police court fines do not seem to
have much effect on the motor maniacs.
They dash along just a furiously as
though there were no speed limits. Every
one, Including policemen, seem to be help
less before the but wagons.
But the other day as one goggle-boy was
passing the Farnam school at Twenty
ninth street, his career along the asphalt
was checked suddenly and about as ef
fectively as cduld be devised. It was dur
ing a recess and a lot of the boy of the
chool were standing in front. One of
tbem threw a stone In the direction of the
automobile, whether Intentionally or other
wise was not determined. It Is sufficient
to understand that the missile lodged In
the chain, was Jammed suddenly against
the axle and the result was a broken chain.
The gas engine nearly went wild as the
resistance ceased to resist and the owner
of the car started back towards the school
with wild anger In his heart. He made
a formal complaint to the principal, who
immediately constituted herself a grand
Jury with full power to investigate. The
lads who had formed the group In front
of the . school hung together and no in
