H. H. BaJdrige said: '
I think that the Slocumb law Is the best
law that could be enacted tor the control
of the liquor business, and backed by a
strong, healthy sentiment It is about all
that could be desired. The work of the
Civlo Federation has created a sentiment
for the enforcement of law and will lead
to a reaoect for all law. I believe that
every law should be enforced or repealed.
It Is a mistake to put laws on tne statute
books that cannot bo enforced. The Civlo
Federation has shown that law can be
enforced. It Is unfortunately a fact that
morals are Jtoo subservient to money, and
principle to pride. The Civic Federation
has behind It the best sentiment of the
community. It has shown that people can
be aroused from their alugglshness. Our
rulers are but our servants. The neoule
make the laws, and I am for the enforce

SCOIlbll RITES CATHtDRAL
Home for Masonic Societies to Be Built by
Special OrgauisV.ion.
LATTER IN PROCtS OF FORMATION
Meeting: Held Monday Mght at Which
steps Were Taken to Perfect
Composition of Thla
Body
Monday night at tho meeting of the Scot
tish kite Masons, final steps were taken
for the formation of a society which will
have aa Its object the construction of a
temple building at the corner of Twentieth
and Douglas streets.
This coiner, lixl2t feet, recently was
bought by the board of directors of the
Masunlc Temple craft, with the avowed
object of ultimately building a temple oil
the ground which would be used by all
Masonic societies, the present temple either
to be sold or rented as should be later
decided. When the matter waa referred
to, the societies composing the temple craft
the plan was not approved and the board
of directors Immediately took steps to dls
pose of Its holdings.
A board of trustees of four members of
the Scottish Rite societies and the Order
of the Mystic Shrine Immediately was or
ganixed and bought the land from the
temple craft, paying the price It had paid.
$18,000. The matter then was taken up by
these two societies, and after considerable
discussion it was decided the two societies
should go together to build a house for
their own use, leaving the present temple
rfor the exclusive use of the blue lodges
and the higher bodies of the York Rite.
Plana to Ralae Funds.
In order to carry out this plan the dues
of the Mystic Shrine were raised and other
steps taken to raise the amount of funds
required. The societies have the money lu
hand to pay for the ground and it la ex
pected that within six months 16,000 addi
tional will be raised. It Is then proposed
to issue a sufficient amount of bonds of par
value of 1100 each to raise the amount of
money necessary construct a building to
cost about $65,000, fully equipped for the
housing of the two societies. These bonds
are to be sold only to members of the or
ders and are to bear 5 per cent Interest
and are subject to purchase by the build
ing society at any time.
It is estimated the societies can redeem
these bonds in a comparatively short time
and hold their building free of debt.
All preliminary arrangements have been
completed for the transfer of the land from
the trustees as soon as the society has In
corporated and the new building will be
under construction by June 1 If present
plans are carried out.
Gustave Anderson said Tuesday morning
the building Is to be known as the Scottish
Rites cathedral. The building committee,
with Henry Hardy as chairman, is now at
York. The conimltteo Is In communication
with Charles W. Murdock, who was super
vising architect of the new postofflce build
ing In Omaha. He has submitted the best
sketches thus far and It Is probable he
will be selected as architect.

BOLD ROBBERY IN HOTEL
Thief Leaves Key to Room with tho
Clerk After Holding I s Woman
Oeetpast,
' A thief sneaking about the halls of tha
Murray hotel last night held up and robbed
Mrs. M. A. Quintan In her room, securing
$10. Mrs. Qulnlan had left her door slightly
ajar, and the man entered suddenly, wear
ing a handkerchief over his face and pre
senting a revolver to the greatly frightened
woman, entered and closed the door behind
him. He looked over the dresser and found
ths money, after which he backed to tho
door, took out the key, Inserted It on the
outside, closed the door and locked Mrs.
Qulnlan In. He then went downstairs, and,
throwing the key on the clerk's desk,
hastily left the building. Mrs. Qulnlan was
ahle to give the police a fair description of
the robber. She occupied the same room
In which another guest of the hotel waa
robbed in December.
The social Secret.
"Olvmy! How charming you look, this
morning, Mrs. Cleveland. Do you know.
Mr. Rcdlngton made us all envious of you
by saying you had tue most beautiful com
plexion of any lady at the Browning re
ception? We are old friends, and If 1 ap
pear a little inquisitive on this .mutter,
pardon me. There are a half doien of us
In our set, of about the same age, while
you are the only one who looks positively
ten years the youngest ot us all. There
Is some secret in this; as a friend, you
should Impart It to me."
"My dear Lillian, If I did not know your
sincerity, I would surely believe you were
trying to flatter my vanity; but, knowing
your candor in all of our affairs, I will
tell you to what I attribute those' charms
you mention, and how I was Induced to
use the great elixir. Dr. T. Felix Oouraud'a
Oriental cream. My mother has always
been, and is now, a very beautiful woman
her years lending a charm to that beauty
which care and art huve preserved by tho
aid of Oouraud's Beautifler and Purifier ot
the Bkln. Although she is now over 60,
she passes for 40, thanks to the 'Oriental
Cream' that has been prescribed for over
half a century to the very elite of Ameri
can and continental society; it la easy of
application and harmless In its effects. By
applying the 'Cream' through the day or
evening and washing the face well on re
tiring, afterwards using mutton tallow or
camphor Ice, the skin is given a soft, pearly
whiteness, removing all skin blemishes,
leaving the complexion clear and bright as
crystal, while Its certainty and naturalness
of operation are such that the" use of a
cosmetic is not suspected, and It Is the
only preparation that meets the wants of
refined ladies, who require a harmless and
efficient beautifler, and we all do. You
possess the secret; I follow In the footsteps
of my mother." '

Cold weather has brought to the office
of the Associated Charities many calls for

some for clothing and some for coal.

sities of life among the needy.
One of the most pitiful cases which Mr:
Morris has known for some time Is that
of a 21 ear-old woman, dying alone of 1
consumption In a cheerless room on North
Sixteenth street. She was an erring
woman an1 her husband left her a year
or two ago. Her parents also cast her off. !
They live in Omaha and knew she was
111, but did not go near her. Being very .
poor, they could not have been much help '
to a sick girl, anyway, for It Is all they
can do to keep above the necessity of '
calling on charity for themselves.
When Mr. Morris went to see her he
found her lying In bed In a bare room
without any fire, the unblacked stov only
serving to accentuate the dreariness. Her
emaciated form and pallid face told plainly
that death was not far off. Sickness and
conscience made every moment misery for
her, and added to that was a great terror
that a man who had been unkind to her
would return to swear at and beat her.
Klndneas of Physician.
Due to the klndneas of a physician whose
name cannot be learned, she had medical
attendance and something to eat.
She gave Mr. Morris the name of Har
riet Lawless, but when questioned closely
told him the name of her parents. Mr.
Morris hunted them up and showed theth
their duty toward the girl, which they un
derstood well enough, and the mother is
with her daughter now. The Associated
Charities provided coal for the stove and
the kindly physician Is said to continue his
visits.
Of course this case would have come to
Mr. Morris' attention If the weather were
warm, but there are other calls for which
the cold has been directly responsible. One
two-room hovel near Eas Omaha was en
tered and the husband was found sick In
bed, a wife and six children, pinched with
hunger and shivering, with cold. Clothing
and bedclothes were scarce In that
wretched home and coal and Cread had
been gone for many hours. The Asso
ciated Charities brought relief here, too.
Mrs. Mary Coffman left her children In
Kansaa City and followed her runaway
husband to Omaha. Without money or
friends, she was forced Saturday night to
apply at the police station In South Omaha
for lodging. Sunday she was cared for by
the Associated Charities, and Mnnriav
means were found to send her back to
Kansas City, where she has friends.
Another Pitiful Case.
Without food or attendance a deserted
woman was found In a cold room, expect
ing to become a mother. A woman'a care
is needed here, and Mr. Morris is trying to
provide it. .
Even stout men need help. Twelve of
them came In at various times Monday,
asking for work that they might get
enough money to assure them of their sup
per and a place to sleep. By much skir
mishing something was found for all of
them to do.
Mr. Morris says he ought to have two
assistants during the severe part of the
winter, but the depicted treasury of the
organization will not permit of It.' The
proposed wood yard and lodging house
ought to bev In operation, too, but there
Is not sufficient money to equip it.

Rev. J. W. Conley, Rev. P. H. McDowell

asked that the club tender an Invitation to I

days. Speakers of national repute are to be
at the convention and It will finish with a
big union meeting of Christians of all de
nominations. Committee Given rower.
The club convention committee waa given
power to Invite the Baptists and to make
arrangements In case of acceptance. Kan
sas City, St. Paul and Minneapolis are said
to be competitors for the convention. It
has never been held west of Chicago.
Another Important step taken by the
committee was a decision to get a survey
of the road, from Fort Crook to the point
where Thirteenth street crosses the line be

road. Quartermaster General Humphrey

Members of the club think a macadam
ised road from Fort Crook would be a big
boon for Omaha: On the otjier hand. It Is
said the South Omaha people do not favor
It, as they want traffic to come up Twenty-
fourth street.
Chairman Steel of the entertainment com
mittee announced that a social entertain
ment will be given at the clubrooms on the
evening of February 14, at which a stere-
optlcon "factory lecture" would be given by
a representative ot the National Cash
