MONEY THIEVES ARE BUSY

Saturday evening and It is believed new
talent has entered the field, as tho numer-
ods burglaries which have been reported
recently were thefts Of money oaly, while
the thieves who operated Saturday night
were not 50 particular as to the character
Of their booty.
The house of Mrs. Hattie Wayman, l7al
Dodge street, was entered Saturday even
ing and t65 stolen from a trunk which was
broken open. This was the only case where
the thieves took money.
While the family was away in the even
ing the house Of F. w. Schnurr, 4022
Lafayette avenue. was entered by breaking
open the back door and many articles OF
jewelry taken. The loss could not be ac-
curstely given by' Mr. Schnurr, although II
will amount to considerable.
il is believed. that the same burglar then
turned hts attention to the home Of r. W.
Dunn, sos North Forty-third street which
is In the same locality as the schnurr
home, as entrance was gained in the same
manner. while the occupants were absent,
and SO worth of jewelry stolen.
A burglary was also reported by w.
Sigal 1904, Capitol avenue. who said that
some one unlocked his front door and stole
S12 and several articles of clothing.
Referring TO the burglaries which oc-
Cured Saturday evening and those which
have been reported during the last few
days, Chief nf Detectives Savage said;
~ thief who takes nothing but money
is the very hardest kind to catch and some

aud the beauty Of zangi's Festival mass, '
the feast OF St. Cecilia was celebrated yes
terday morning az st. Cecllia's church,
Fortieth and Burt streets. before a large
congregation. The natal day OF the patron

annually, the music being one OF the fea-

No her maftyrdom and drew from her life

I'm the eyes OF worldlings nc said,
ithe saints we're mad. Who, they thought.
could be morn mad than those who thought
moro of spiritual than temporal things
They thought it unmsnly not to avenge
their wrongs and the height or madness
to lay down their lives FOR their cause.
But tho church Of God places very diner
ent estimate upon their lives. This church
now asks you to join in celebrating the
natal day OF this saint, the auenu Of sacred
song, the patron saint Of this church, the
unoonquerable st. Cecilia.
why does the church celebrate saints
Gay with such pomp OF ceremonial? Be
cause they are the fairest flowers that
grow in her garden. because they are
noblest i'm their virtues, because she wants
us TO initiate them and what they have
done we can do. This Is what takes place
in the world outside. The world has its
ionor roll OF great men. And It likes to
hold them UP TO the youth for emulation.
but the Christian has different view.
lie knows he is endowed with talents that
he may use for the glory Of God He
knows that he is Of the same material
as the saints and II he can become perfect
he can become a saint"

OUR LETTER Box


HoIsDRBGE Eeb.. Nov. 23-Rev J. w.
Wilson, President. and Rev. q, W. Wright.
Secretary. Omaha. Dear Eirs: am greatly
surprised 70 see call for mass meeting
from preachers or the gospel to protest
against the enforcement OF discipline and
order In the United States army. which ]
consider the only safeguard for the preser-
walton Of both the army and the citizens
Of the country, regardless Of color.
served IN the army OF tho rebellion for
three years, and stood beside the colored
troops, and WIS proud Of them. for they
were good soldiers Army life would he
dangerous without strict discipline az ]
well know by experience. The colorad
people OF this country arc entirely too
sensitive about their color. as ] am sure
that nine-tenths OF the good citizens OF this
country are not preiudiced against them.
Any fair-minded person knows that a
person canIiot help what color they are,
neither can they help being in this country.
am well satisfied that the president
would not discriminate against soldiers on
account Of thsilY color. but would have done
the same thing if they had been white
troops, How could he do any less? II such
things are allowed to pass where would IT
end? We would soon have no army worth
the name, neither would we be safe ss
citizens.
OF all people. preachers Of the gospel
SHOULD be the last to stir up strife in this
country on account of color lines. for II
there is ever. any trouble on account OF
color IN this country the colOred people
Will bring It upon themselves by stirring
up strife. which is entirely uncalled for.
Colored people. as well as white people
should strive TO live up 20 the highest
standard OF citizenship. and in so doing
they will overcome the color prejudice
1 hope the attendance of this meeting
will be so small that either you or any
other preachers will be ashamed to ever
call a similar one. Yours truly,
l.. j. TITUS.

dPrInce otto" at the BurwOOd.
prince OTTO the play presented this
week at the Burwood by the Woodward
Stock company, takes one back into the
legendary period and the fascinating scenes
that only the imagination OF Robert Louis
Stevenson could eonjurc up. The plot is
based on the naehipatlons of the court,
collected around the ''unws stched' throne
OF Kronefeld and It makes a romantic story
Of love and intrigue that sustains deep
interest from beginning 20 end
Prince Otto, the lgh thesrted ruler Of
Kronefeld, devotes all his time to the hunt
and leaves tho affairs OF state TO be ad-
ninistered by the princess. who is imposed
upon by the scheminE prime minister, Baron
Won GOndremark. The latter becomes the
head of a. plot to overthrow the prince.
The prince finally awakes to the true situa-
tion and takes the reins of government in
his own hands. A tender love scene be-
tween the prince and princess, who, after
years of estrangement, discover they really
love each other. closes the action and
makes one of the strongest features OF
the play Another strong situation is given
by the deRouncing Of GondremarlS in tho
third act and was encored a half dozen
times.
The part OF Prince Otto gives Mr. Nor
rson a very wide range As frivolous hun.
ter, assertive prince and lover. and he
excels in all OF the. situations. Miss FL
lott has strong role I'm the Princess
Seraphina and gives a good Interpretation

CITY LEAGUE.
THE LEADERS IN A CLASH
Pastimes Do Up the Brooklyns : St Josephs Whip Merrimacs

The two leaders battled for su- premacy in the City Amateur league yesterday afternoon on State league park and the Pastimes slugged out q victory in the very first inning. Don- shue was not in the gilt edge form be has been on other occasions and the Pastimes took to his delivery in that first time at bat and hammered put a three sacker, two two seekers, two singles and made two stolen bases. The Brooklyns were generous In other ways in that inning. too. for they contributed three errors to make the scoring more easy for the Pastimes. Johnny Kelly took Dona- hue's place in the box after that satal ininng and the scoring was kept aown.
 But Bob Moran was right in his clement yesterday and even if the Pastimes had not had that one great batting bee 1t is pretty certain they would have won. The Brooklyns were completely at young Moran's mercy and but two of them hit him Dafely. Jerry Shugrue and Bill Lal- Her. Jerome of the Brooklyns saved more scoring by the Pastimes when he made a quick double play unas- listed in the sixth inning just when things looked dubious. The score:

HARTFORD WANTS TIGHE. NTY|GR 4aaasfr. Might Pull Hart, Nfofd Out oY the Hole

Hartford, July 23.-Hartford is af- ter Jack Tighe of Norwich to manage the team, but 1t is doubtful if the Norwich manager will come here. He IS under contract with Norwich and as long as team is maintained there the directors will try and hold him. As long as his sary is paid 1t would be difficult for him to get away. There has been falling off in the play of the Norwich team and this IS said to be due to the small atten- dance down there. With 100 or 200 at a game there is not much of an incentive for the boys to cut loose. One old baseball man said last night that if Jack Tighe came here and brought Bill Lord, Halligan and Har- " Ball with him that the Hartford team would go up with a jump. Tighe is great organizer and the men play we'll under him. He would introduce some kind of a system and there would be team work. TiRhe keeps his infield and outfield intact and the men know just what is rs- quired of them.

 Dear Sir-I am not from Amhersk and haven't any baseball ''knocks'sl to suggest. Northampton is not dead to the national sport. but sleeping. If we had real baseball club like Norwich. l think 1t would wake the old Meadow City up. as in former. days. Northampton only a few years. ago supported one of the best base-' ball teams in New England. and with a lively management to-day the in-l terest could be again aroused with out question. Norwich is a dead one and would not support the New Giants at $500 week salary fees. 1 see by to-day's issue of your paper the Norwich people are not support ing their team. and 1t is about time the management should make c move. The Northampton people would like. to hear. from the Norwich man. agement in regard to transferring of their team to Northampton through your paper.
