TWELVE CARS OF SHRINERS
Large Eastern Delegation Met and
Briefly Entertained by
Tangiers.

A train Of twelve cars bearing the larg-
est caravan Of Shrlners to cross the great
American desert in one party, 235 in all,
pulled into the Union citation at $3.50 last
night over the Union Pacific from Denver
and from then until 10 o'clock there was
a lively time. for a big party of Tangier
temple representatives, with ladies', was at
the depot to greet the imperial special.
Arrangements had been made for a big
time at the Tangier quarters, as the visi-
tors were expected to arrive in the after
noon and remain several hours. They were
late, however, owing to a delay west and
south Of Denver, and when they learned
that IL would cost them $500 more in cold
cash II they did not reach Chicago by 10
o'clock this morning they decided to forego
Gate City Joys and let the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul road have a chance to
make the run from here in twelve hours
II it could.
Shriners from Mecca temple of New York
City predominated. There were others from
Kismet of Brooklyn, Cyprus of Albany, Pal
estine of Providence, Oriental Of Troy and
Pyramid of Bridgeport, Conn. All were in
fez and so were the Omaha men, and 900
red tops made a great showing in the big
waiting room as the Shriners assembled to
hear a few speeches.
NJ. A. Hall OF Omaha told how sad It
made Tangier temple not to have the east
erners at its own quarters and Potentate
C. 8. Benedict Of Mecca responded with
expressions of regret at being compelled
to hurry on through. Past Imperial Poten-
tate w. B. Mellish of Cincinnati was an
other speaker and Judge Fawcet of Omaha
was last to crate. All four addressed the
multitude from the top Of a radiator.
When the travellers finally left, each one
had a boutonniere and a bunch OF cigars.
A committee of Shrlners from Tangier tenn
pie had escorted them in from Grand Is
land, having gone out there to meet them
last night.

MISS MAGEE ON JAIL WORK
Explains Her Misunderstanding
with wOman's Christian
1' Temperance Union. ,

OMAHA, June 19.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: When l accepted the work IN the
west wing of the county jail under tho
about two years ago l was not aware. nor
was / informed, of the existence of any
rules governing their work aside from the
rules that ordinarily govern Christian work
among u~nfortunates, ana it was only a
short time ago that 1 became aware that
l had violated any OF the methods en-
ployed in their prison work.
About eight months ago | came into ros-
session of Information that led me to inter-
view Judge Baker on behalf of two men
then confined in the west wing of the jail,
and upon the strength of this information
Judge Baker shortened their sentences.
which action upon his part would seem
him regarding them; In going, TO Judge
Baker, however, | did so entirely upon
my own responsibility and, in no way in
cluded the Woman's Christian Temperance
union. My action was known TO the tail
While the unions jail superintendent
learned of my interview with Judge Baker
shortly after 1t occurred. 1t was only a
short time ago that the union criticised my
action. At that time the incident was ex-
planned to the women and while / learned
rules. the right and my duty in the matter
seemed so apparent that | told them |
would feel compelled to do the same thing
again under similar circumstances.
Subsequent events made it impossible for
me to work tremendously under their SUI
perintendent and | asked that / might be
allowed to work under the union rather
han its superintendent, This they re-
fused to allow me to do. and l withdrew
from the work, only returning there last
sabbath upon request of the men confined
in the west wing, and with full consent Of
the TAIL authorities.
This is the extent Of my characterization,
and while | regret the u"nplcasAntness that
has arisen. ! cannot but feel that H.
might easily have been avoided had the
union personally investigated my work and
methods at the Jail. While | have not re-
newed my membership in the local union
this year, / shall continue to wear the

AfnuSe IN
At the Boyd.

At the Boyd.
Last night the bill Of the Ferris Stock
company at the Boyd theater was changed,
and THE Creole" is to be the offering the
rest Of the week. This is a strong French
play Of a rather melodramatic cast, but
possessing the merit of telling an interest
ing story. Miss Hayward has the main part,
and gives a powerful presentation of the
heroine, a creole who has been transplanted
to Paris, who has quarreled with and been
shot by her lover; who has seen him in the
galleys, sent there for his attack on her,
and who later finds herself queen of a
fashionable gambling house, while her
lover, whom she still loves, freed from
prison slavery, is married under an as
sumed name and living happily. The work.
ing out Of the plot around these central fig
ures is quite clever. The piece abounds
in talk in which all the characters take
part. 1t is perfectly staged, the scenes in
the gambling house presided over by the
creole being really beautiful.

ballroom at the Willard hotel last night in
attendance at the open reception given by
the general committee on arrangements for
the great Christian church convention TO be
held in Omaha October 1928. The object OF
this committee in giving this reception was
to cultivate general acquaintance among the
four Christian churches Of these three cit
les and TO interest also in the coming con-
~vention the general population more than
has been done. In both ways the affair was
a success, as the attendance from the Chris
tian churches and from those Of other de-
nominations and from non-church people
was large.
These four churches must bear the brunt
OF the responsibility for the proper recep-
ton and entertainment OF the thousands
Of Chrietian church people who will flock
into Omaha from all points Of the compass
next October. The responsibility is great,
but these churches have accepted 1t in its
fullest significance and do not intend to
shirk any Of II. To this end they have APP

Nj ! aid hotel. The officers Of this committee

Effects of PeDper,

writer on foods declares that pep
per is vegetable poison, stimulant
but in no sense a food; a substance
nonusable by the vital organs and
therefore to be thrown out of the vital
domain
Red or black pepper is prolific cause
of enlargement of the blood vessels
and ultimately of disease of the heart
Its immediate effect is to create in
creased action, not only of the capil-
laries, causing temporary congestion
and even Inflammation Of the mucous
surfaces, but also of the organs which
secrete the digestive fluids. Its ulti-
mate effect is to weaken and deaden
these organs by repeated stimulation
to abnormal action. 1t also impairs or
destroys the nerves of taste in the
mouth, together with the gastric or
other nerves which aid in the process
of digestion.
When these are weakened by stimu-
lants, the functions themselves are nee
essarily impaired, and confirmed dys-
pepsia, with its attendant train of bad
symptoms, brings up the rear.

The Picturesque Fireplace,

The picturesque open fires that blaz-
ed beneath mantels half century ago
are so thoroughly replaced by steam
coils and hot air registers that the pref
ty scene Of the family gathered around
the crate is fast fading into obscurity
The nearest one comes to finding it to-
day is the gas CRATE or at best the CRATE
fire built of coal. Although the modern
methods of heating the home are SUI
perlatively convenient, in one sense the
passing Of the open fire is pity. Moth
ing could be more cheerful, and it is
said to be great dispeller of that NAL
ady known as the "blues." A nervous,
sensitive person finds cheerful blaz-
ing fire something soothing and encour-
aging, something conducive to reverie
and consequently to meditation and
rest. Women in business life are be-
ginning to realize this fact, and some
of them are having open CRATES put in
to their rooms, where they may enjoy
the effects of the softly Pickering fire

Garnet Enafenera.

Pins and sockets for putting down
the ordinary floor carpet are not new
at all, but they are so useful that they
are worth mentioning The great util-
ity of these is that the carpet can be
taken up with but little trouble for a
weekly shaking instead of sweeping If
one desires. The sockets are driven in
TO the floor at regular intervals around
the room. The carpet is put down, and
for each socket there is pin or brass
headed nail which goes into it. holding
the carpet as firmly in place as the or
binary tack. But with the pin and
socket there is no trouble in lifting 1t
again. The pins are replaced in the
sockets to keep them from filling with
dust, and when the carpet Is cleaned it
can bc put down again with ease. The
pins are sufficiently long, two and
three-quarter inches, to hold the carpet
firmly In some houses hall carpets are
put down without lining and taken up
frequently to be shaken.

Footwear.

Few women are sufficiently supplied
with footwear. There ought to be boots
and shoes for all occasions, but two
pairs-one for common wear and the
other for best-is the usual SUNNY.
Often one pair does duty for all time.
If you find it necessary to supply a par
ticularly pretty and fine frock for even
ing wear, there should be shoes to
match. The care you bestow upon them
will determine their time of usefulness.
Frequent polishing, fresh strings once
a week or whenever the old ones are
shabby, attention to the heels when
they first show signs of uneven wear
and a thorough brushing after each
wearing will keep the feet looking tidv

size.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Don't put damp towels and napkins
in the hamper. Dry them first or they
will mildew.
A writer says equal parts of vinegar
and paraffin oil make a better polish
for a piano than any furniture cream.
Crockery ornamented with gilt bands
or figures should be washed quickly
and drained dry. never wiped. even
with soft cloth.
If brooms, both large and small, are
washed often, then dried and turned
upon their handles, they will sweep
cleaner and last longer.
When an eiderdown quilt has become
hard and lost all its elasticity, hang it
in the sun for few hours, and all the
life will come back to 1t.
Nothing will give such a polish to
glass, even the finest, as washing it
with slightly moist newspaper and u.s.
ing dry newspaper to give it the finish
ing touches.
Vinegar and tea leaves will quickly
and effectually clean off the discolora-
ton in specimen glasses and vases
which have contained cut flowers.
Rinse in clear cold water.
Leather furniture may be cleaned
and polished by the use of mixture
composed of equal parts Of vinegar and
linseed oil. Apply with a flannel cloth
and polish with a soft buster.
In sweeping a carpeted room if a
newspaper is first soaked in clear wa
ter and then torn into small pieces and
scattered over the carpet it will gather
up much of the dust and prevent 1t
from settling on the woodwork.
