ADVENTURE OF LADY URSULA AT BURWOOD Pretty Rnminri' by Hone Farewell Sum her of Present Compony "The Cow Poacher" at the Km. Two crowds, determined to visit the Or- phriim theater once more before It clnsi for the season, as one of the signs that Hummer la supposed to be not far distant, attended both performances Sunday, stand- I ,i K room being In demand before the cur tain rose. And a a fitting obaervance of the occasion, a program with sufficient luster to Bhlne through the days to come when the Orpheum will be dark, was given, the bill having aome particularly good num bers, and none that failed of enthusiastic applause. Among them were some acts out fif the ordinary. Nut the "least" of the offerings was an act In witch the principals bore much "we.rfht" in the successful presentation of On tifie. In fact the two looked well alM to tip the scales at 500 pounds to iretu. r with ruse. C'atherln-. Hayes and Hao l Johnson are two h a y weights who try the sttentMh ot the beams under the nlane in an odd act under the suprlslng t.tla of "A Dream of Unby Iays." But their avoirdjf jls do?s not stand In the way of the proper performance of their parts, fir where the effort might be dl' astrous on the sMae, they employ a mov ing picture mah i'ie to carry on the good work. The two sing well, look well very well and present an altogether pleasant entertainment. The political and other serious questions of the day are discussed In this week's program, and far from being the dry, al most forbidding number It promises from the description, It Is the most mlrth-pro-voklng part of the program. Cliff Gordon presents himself aa a German politician who seeks to enlighten the American "pimple" on matters in the house of "rep resent the thieves" and other parts of the world, and often becomes so full of en thusiasm, which word nearly ties him tn a knot, that he chokes In his effort to bring out the burning words. It Is a roar of laughter from start to finish. swimming tank full of Missouri river aqua Is utilised by The Flnneys In a sea shore stunt of diving and tricks under water. The tank Is of glass so the water performance can be seen. But In order to be seen themselves the two swimmers are obliged to press close to the edge to show they are not "faking." They eat. drink, whirl, and sleep for minutes under water, comprising an act of feats much out of the usual run and truly meritorious. But It would take much better In Omaha If The Flnneys had brought a good water filter with them. Dorothy Kenton plays the banjo with spirit and ability, and The Ollvottls sooth with guitar and violin. A little farce by Klngsley and Lewis, "After the Honey moon," Is the occasion for a great deal of solid enjoyment and a mlschevlous helper spoils things for a conjuror, dis closing his "tricks" In his Imitations of his master, in a comedy trick performance by the Two Ftanclscos. On Saturday night, which will be the final night of the season, Manager Belter has arranged for a big amateur program and seats sre already being reserved for the event. The Orpheum will then be dark until early In September. "Lady Trials" at the Bur-wood. ' As a farewell to the patrons of the Bur wood the present stock company, soon to be transferred to Kansas City, presents Anthony Hope's pretty romance, "The Ad venture of Lady Ursula," as the bill for the week. Like most of HoDt'i stories, the romantic element predominates almost to the exclusion of everything else. The piny is beautiful rather than strong. The story Is built up around a prank of Lady Ursula Harrington In attempting to gain entrance to the house of Sir George Sylvester, who has sworn never to see the face of a woman. 8ba falls and Is sent by Sir George to the porter's lodge, an insult which Lady Ursula's brother, the earl of Hasaenden, resents. To save her brother from a dual with Sir George, who is a practiced swordsman. Lady Ursula engages In another adventure more startling than the first by donning the clothes of a younger brother and gain ing entrance to Sir George's apartments for a private Interview with him. She succeeds In this guise In warding off the duel, but complicates matters worse than, ever, escaping only by the courteajr of Sir George a duel herself with pistols. Of course the ending Is typically Hope's, and Sir George and the fair Lady Ursula pledge each other their troth as the final curtain is rung down. Mr. Morrison haa the part of Sir George and Miss Pettes that of Lady Ursula, both of them In rolee peculiarly suited to their talents. The third act presents the strong est scene of the piny, culminating In the situation that almost ends In the dues be tween Sir George and the dlagulshrd Lady Ursula.

And the same fate overtook many of Jim's "pals" In the four-act "Oow runcher" drama which was presented twice at the Knig Sunday. It Is a story of the golden west and bears about the same relaUon to "The Virginian" as Tncle Tom does to Old Black Joe. Instead of a school teacher going west and marrying a cowboy. It was a young woman doctor who did It and "9om Lawton was the lucky cowboy. Tne scenes are laid In Mexico, and Mexicans "r-ie more or less In the plot. Carlos M.udoza, a Mexican cattle "rustVr," and Ms hand steal the heroine and another girl. Carlo wants the hero ine for himself, but the other members of the band decide the two women will hinder them in getting over the line with the stolen cattle, and they decide to shoot them both. Here Is where Tom Lwton gets the chance to show his heroism, for at the critical moment he arrives, unarmed, and offers to sacrifice his life for theirs. As he Is a deadly enemy to the outlaws, his proposition Is readily accepted. But of course he, too, Is saved Just In the nick of time, but not, however, till after one of the noisiest. If not the bloodiest battle ever pulled off In the Krug theater, has been fought. The play Is thoroughly typ ical of life In the far west. If not aa It Is. at least as It was. In the first act, when one of the cowboys say: "I have my own private grave yard, and It Is so full I have to bury them standing up," one thinks It Is meant for a Joke. But before the cur tain drops upon the scene of carnage In the third act, the audience fully realises that it was no Joke. The performance will be repeated Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day, with the usual matinee. FRIENDSHIP BOUGHT DEARLY Thirty Dollars Worth In One Night Is the Investment of , Laborer. Thomas McDonoilgh. a laborer at the Union Pacific cut-off. placed too much con fidence In an old friend Saturday night and now he Is short Just 130. He came to Omaha Saturday With his pockets full of money when whom should be meet but old Four-Finger Frank, whom he had not seen for three years, since they shipped out together from Casey's In Chicago to shovel dirt for the old "B. C. Northern" for $1.78 a day when the snow was three feet deep on the level, and they were both tickled almost to death to see one another. Particularly were signs of gladness appar ent on the old pal' countenance. It de veloped that Frank was broke and hungry, to say nothing of thirsty, but McDonough only thanked his lucky stars that he should be the one to go to his friend's aid In that, his time of need. It was late before the need had been filled, but the good Samaritan still had $30 left when they at last stumbled Into a lodging house for a bed. They both took lodging tn the same bunk and McDonough was not long In getting busy with the sleep which comes to him with the con sciousness of having extended a helping hand to a fallen brother. It was also late before he awoke on the Sabbath morning to find the rain pouring down outdoors snd a hole slit lq his pocket where his wad had beet), never a sign re maining of the happy, deeds of the night before, not even Frank being visible. It was a rude awakening, but . McDonough took It all like a man- and went to the police, who said they would try to locate this man he called hJs friend. . Rad Stomach Trouble Cared.

Jamei H. Wilien Preach. FORMER OMAHAN CORDIALLY RECEIVED From Pacific C neat lie Brines lesson of Faith la God as the Essential Thins;. rtev. James M. Wilson of Westminster Presbyterian church, Seattle, occupied his old pulpit In Castellar Presbyterian church Sunday morning and was greeted with a very large congregation. Dr. Wilson originally came to Omaha as a graduate of McCormlck Theological sem inary tn 18NS and Castellar church was his first charge and lie Its first pastor. Here he found a struggling little church and by his energy succeeded In building It up Into one of the most thrifty organizations of the city He continued aa pastor for thirteen years and then went from Omaha to Boul der, Colo., which place he left four years ago to accept the call of the Westminster church of Seattle. Dr. Wilson wa married while In Omaha and Mrs. Wilson will be remembered aa a woman of exalted Chris tian character. In his sermon Sunday morning Dr. Wil son paid a pathetic tribute to his wife, who died Christmas eve after an Illness 'of about a year and a half. He expressed his deep and loving appreciation of their old Omaha friends for their sympathy on that occasion and the tribute of flowers sent from Omaha. Here Faith la God. Dr. Wilson spoke from the text Mark xl., "Have Faith In Ood." After expressing the pleasure he enjoyed to meet so many of his old friends and referring Incidentally to the growth of the Christian spirit on the Pacific coast. Dr. Wilson said: "Jesus stood In the wreck of the great est religion the world had ever known, the wreck of Judealsm and formalism. He knew that their failure was from the lack of faith In Ood and His message to them Is of the same potent force today and Is directed to the church, the minister and the home. Remember the parable of the flg tree. He came to the fig tree expect ing fruit and found nothing but leaves. The semblance was there, but there wae no truth in It. It was so when He went to the temple where He expected to find the scribes and Pharisees performing a faithful religious duty, but Instead found only pro tense. He comes to the church and home today and expects the fruit of truth and faith. But does He find them? He should find these things In the church whose roots are drenched In His blood. "You come to church to hear the truth and learn the meaning of the true faith. That Is what the church Is for and that Is what you nave the right to expect. When Christ came there was a decadence In the vital powers of Israel. Centuries afterward come the age of rationalism In Germany and the age of moderation In Eng land. So spiritual decadence comes In epochs and they will come when the spirit of faith and truth Is lacking. Walk Too Much by Light. In this modern day we aso too prone to walk by light rather than by faith. The reason that men take their lives is be cause of their lack of faith In Ood. Faith can move mountains. What we need Is a rennalsance of faith, a re-blrth of faith. Christ has said met) shall not live by bread alone, but by faith. The persecutions of the apostles ceased In Rome and Constantino (Rome's greatest emperor acknowledged Jesus as the King of Kings. The prayers and faith of John Hues, of Savonarola, of Luther have been aswered. The prayer at Valley Forge was answered at Torktown. The prayer of hu manity for the abolition of slavery was answered at Appomattox. There are more good people In the world than ever before; true there Is also more Iniquity, but there also exists greater Christian forces to combat this Iniquity." DR. MA SATS WORLD IS NOT LOST Combats the Theory of Cnl-rer.al Con demnation by Original Sin. Is It a Lost World?" was the theme of Rev. Newton Mnn at Unity church Sun day morning and elaborate arguments were given to prove that such an argu ment was partially, at leant fallacious. It Is the custom of many religions to call this world a lost world," said Mr. Mann. "It has been said that even the heavens seem to have been tainted with the sin of our first parents. Upon all visible things Is set the Invisible condemna tion 'corrupted by Adam's sins.' Other planetary worlds not lost. If there be such, ought to act different from this world, but they do not. All the other planets are apparently made of the same sort of stuff as the world and have to pass through the same processes of development. Believers In original sin have argued that only the human world and that only on the out side has fallen. It appears to many thinkers that man Is morally lost. If this is correct it Is no less melancholy than the old thought that this Is a lost world, for If man Is lost the world might as well bo lost the one lost object In the universe. "One of the ways to avoid such a con clusion is that Ood did not make man as he now exists. This fallacy has gained considerable force, but the Idea that Ood made the first man and has had nothing to do with the rest of the race Is unthink able folly. There la for the thelst no es cape from the fact that this world In which we live was made by Ood That the hu man world Is faulty does not Imply that It Is wholly lost At the first Ood made It and there is no reason to believe that He was ever disappointed with His work, for He has an eye to the future. Evolu tion is the keynote of physical existence and for 600,000 years, more or less, msn haa be.n Improving and dropping some brutish trail each year. "Ood did not make the world In a day ties he has used from flret to last. With the hand of man He Is irrigating the desert, building homes and magnificent structures, and connecting the oceans with mighty railroads and canals. Ood was never more active upon this globe than now and when we consider what time and energy haa been spent in bringing the world to its present condition we are com pelled to think that the early world must have been a moot uninviting place. "To our narrow visions the depravity stalking around now among us is shocking and It is not strange that Innate depravity should find credence when we see the fraud In basmesa, misrepresentation and duplicity at the bar and in the pulpit as well aa In other walks of lire. "But let no one despair of mankind and Imagine that this Is a lost world. No such depressing thought wss ever set forth aa that of the fall of man and the consequent depression of the human race. "Looked at from any point a los't world Is unspeakable to contemplate. People liv ing in the shadow of such a hideous thought cannot be expected to do their best. Deliverance from this thought is the greatest aid to mankind. We owe It to are not largely due to materials. 'Twould be folly to skimp there. Most differences in taste are due to the skill, 01 the lack of skill, in the brewing. And to the yeast. But quality refers, above all, to the purity. Pure beer has no germs in it, and it does not cause biliousness. It is not only good, but good for you. Purity is rare because it is costly. And because its lack is not easily noticed. But in Schlitz beer it is Ask for the Brewery Bottling. Common beer is sometimes substituted for Schlitz.

Adolf Halt at Swedish Lutheran Preaches Initial Sermon. Rev. Adolf ' Hult's Initial sermon, as pastor of the Swedish Lutheran Immanuel church was received by a large and appre- j clatlve audience, yesterday morning. He . made a most favorable Impression as an earnest and forcible speaker. He Is pos sessed of a fine) well rmvlulated voice and in rendering the. ;beautlf ul liturgy of the Lutheran church,' Ills musical education was apparent. Rev. Mr. Hult is an accom plished pianist and a thorough musical student . The text for the Sunday was In St. John, It chapter, verses 23-33, constituting a part I of Christ's farewell conference with His disciples, and the theme was: "How the Prayer In Jesus Name Makes True Chris tian's happiness complete." He oald In part: "We often forge the power of a sincere prayer. To thinkj;that a poor sinner can ask for anything'.. of that he is in need from our Lord God., but only In the name of Jesus Christ. No power nor assurance of fulfillment of our prayero unless they are in the name cf Jesus. Only those that pray In Jesus name have a promise to be heard. Stop and consider the grand thought that we unworthy sinners can go to our dear Bavlour with all our tribula tions. If we cannot always believe that Ood. will hear our prayero, we must not forget that the promise Is there, and our unbelief does not change God's words. "By this same prayer In Jesus name we conquer all our enemies and at all times aa we pray in the name of the only True Con querer, we should be victorious as He is the only one that came out Victorious. "If prayer in Jesus' name is such a power, why are we not more of a praying people? Are you a praying Christian? Are you a praying congregation? If we pray more our blessing would bo more abun dant." In closing he asked to be remembered In prayer by the members of the church, and he would start his work In Omaha aa a praying pastor. REV. J. r. SCHWARZ IS INSTALLED Formally Indorted Into Pastorate of First Cierman Pre.byterlan. Rev. Julius F. Schwars was Installed last evening as pastor of the First Oerman Presbyterian church. HIS North Eighteenth street. Rev. Mr. Bchwari was called to Omaha from Connersvllle, Ind., where he had charge of a church for six years.

"The church Is the biggest, grandest and beat thing that God. has given to men In the present day on earth," said Mr. Abels. "In this, one of tji. many parables of Christ, the mustard s.ed ' is rtprtseatiaf Among the best ie the Word of God. The mustard- seed was the smallest seed known In Jerusalem and tho country round about But It grew Into a tree of large proportions. "The seed which the man planted was a living seed. So must the word of God preached be a living word. It was planted In a garden. So must the word of God be planted In a place where it may grow Into the great and strong tree of the church."

That was about the only sign of a holiday visible to the ordinary observer, while others more keen of eye might have noticed something unusual about the groups of ' black-eyed, black-haired men, women and boys standing on the streets or wending their ways toward the parks. For the Greek population In Omaha Is not large enough to have any organization or church of Its own and when the Easter of the Orthodox Greek church comes around, the observance consists mainly In ceasing all labor and seeking such pleasures as are at fcwrtd. This Includes visiting from house to house and going to the parks. Hanscom and Rlvervlew parks received most of the celebrators during the day. Blxxett Day on Calendar.
