from Pulpit Rnd Pew.
Yesterday was the day of the children
1t was the annual Children's day, which
takes precedence even over Christmas in
the prominence 1t gives the little ones
in the services of the church. The
weather was ideal for the occasion, and
the churches were filled with the chill
dren, some of them in the morning, some
in the afternoon and others in the even
ing, for the hour of holding these services
diners according to the idea of the officers
of the Sunday school
Children's day was observed in most
of the Omaha evangelical churches with
special sermons to young people. pro-
grams by the Sunday school children and
music by the choirs especially betting
the occasion, After these services many
children received the rites OF baptism,
and in some churches members were re-
ceived into the church. In many cases
the churches were beautifully decorated.
At the First Methodist oap-ch Rev. By
ron II. Stauffer preached a ChiIdren's day
sermon in the evening on GODS Errand
Boys" after which many children were
baptized. The Sunday school of the Lowe
Avenue Presbyterian church joined in
Children's dag exercises at ESQ with the
children of the Walnut Xiii Methodist
Lutheran church the children gave a pro-
gram in the evening entitled Jesus and
the Children" for the benefit of the
Orphans home. A. the CASTELAR, Street
Presbyterian church special orchestral
music was q feature of the exercises,
which were held at noon. At Trinity
Methodist church the children presented
the theme, Happy Voices" In recitations
and exercises.
The exercises at Hanscom Park Metho-
dist church Sunday morning furnished a
very good example OF the observance OF
Children's day. They began at 1890 and
continued until noon, with short session
OF the Sunday school afterward The at
tendance of grown people showed that
they take more interest in the affairs of
the children than I'm regular church ser
vices, and certainly none of the little
ones stayed at home. A beautiful picture
they made In the front of the room. the
girls all in white dresses and the boys I'm
white waists. Fifteen or twenty of the
very smallest lisping youngsters, children
from TO years of age. took part I'm
the program, and their performances, on
account OF their youth. called forth more
expressions OF admiration from the grown
folks than were accorded the older boys
| and girls.
Beside a number OF recitations and
! songs by the school, there We're drills,
solos and dialogues The solos by Mildred
Todd and Sue Whiting were warmly ap-
I plauded, and two songs by the primary
department were leading features Of the
entertainment. Miss Rita Clarks class
Of girls made happy hit with a dialogue
and Mrs. Scotts class OF boys went
through pretty drill. using the Ameri-
can nag. Another pretty feature was q
rose drill by eight girls.
After the exercises twelve or hfteen
children were baptized A number of
members on probation were received into

BACCALAUREATE AT BELLEVUE

FOrcefuI Sermon Preached TO Gradu-
atea by President WadsWOrth.
President G. ". Wadsworth of Bellevue
college delivered the baccalaureate sermon
to the graduating class at Bellevue Sunday
morning at the regular services OF the
First Presbyterian church. The scriptures
were read by Dean Sterenberg and prayer
was offered by Vice President Hoyt. The
hallelujah chorus was sung by the college
choral society.
What doth the, Lord require of thee,
but to do justly and to love mercy and
TO walk humbly with thy God?" was the
text OF a forceful sermon on the topic OF
THE Requirement of Pure Religion"
AT the time the prophet lived the re-
ligion of Israel was purely formal. In
justice was practlced, widows were robbed,
and judges received brides, The Offering
of sacrifices was about all the religion they
had"
ITO do Justly" was a topic in which Mr..
Wadsworth spoke of justice in good meas
ures. on pure food and honest medicine.
Justice in wages. in work rendered and
justice in the courts; in other words, a
square deal" was another theme of the
sermon.
ITO love mercy: God delighteth in mercy

fulness' Mercy and Kindness are the
Things which make a man lovable.
ITO walk humbly with God: Humility
must exist when a man has a proper con-
! ception OF God. At the congress of re-
/ ligion last Wednesday in Chicago the
speakers tried to prove that God IS not a
| being, but becoming or, In other words,
an imperfect God. Or, as critic expresses
/ It, He is not-nOw-but-soOp Cod How

I'VE should follow Him as children fol-

/ Ephesians, Be followers Of God as dear
/ children We can walk with God in prayer
| and in imitation, Just as children ask ia

! Al the close OF the sermon the gradual

the members 70 live up TO their require
ments OF pure religion, to be faithful unto
death and then terrors OF death would be
/ removed. for perhaps their end will be like
that OF EnOch, Of whom il was said. He

ROYALTY'S TRIALS
AIRED At GRAND
KING AND QUEEN RECEIVE
ROUGH HANDLING
Melodrams at Main Street Theater
Has Thrills Enough to Satisfy
the Most Eager Seekers
After Sensational

Queen Of the Convicts" sensational
melodrama based on the lives of the
late king and queen of Servia. is the
offering at the Grand this week. Tor
ture chambers, in which helpless old
women are confined in iron chairs and
their brains crushed out by means of
steel bands. are some Of the edifying
features of the pleasant little play.
Others are a sword duel i'm which two
women engage, prison scene in which
women work laboriously on a tread
mill q canoe which sticks in the water,
thus forcing the occupant to walk TO
the bank through a lake, and a snow
storm in which bushels of cut paper
are dumped in a mass upon the stage.
The plot of the Queen of the Con-
vlcts" is rather involved. Things hap
pen with apparently little regard for
sequence. and but few incidents seem
TO have any relation to the main plot
The first act shows Miss Smell as Draga,
peasant maid with whom the king of
Servia is in love. The inevitable en-.
emies of the royal pair-to-be attempt
to abduct the blushing bride, but in
order to let the play go on they fail
miserably. and in addition to the igno-
miny of their defeat they have to en-
dure the boots of the enraptured gal
lery
The next act shows the two after
they have been married two years. A
papier mache infant is brought on.
The ruthless enemies of the queen still
pursue the unhappy dame, and they
succeed in almost killing both the
queen and the king. Although seven
bullets are said to lodge i'm the body of
the potentate and his presumably life
less form is cast to the pigs, as the
villainess delicatey declaims: Throw
him to his former associates. the pigs ="
Apparently the porkers refuse to eat
the body. for the king turns up in fine
and dandy style in the last act, all
though he has accumulated hedge
upon his face since last we saw him.
As he has been in prison underneath
the ground for five years, the mattress
filler is accounted for.
The queen is put to work in the prison
after the king is almost killed, and 1t
is not until the third act that she es-
capes by the aid of an extraordinary
American girl, who was also imprisoned.
Then in the last act everybody
clinches and perfect cloudburst OF
happiness is supposed to descend upon
the perSonages engaged in the play.
Miss Smell was generally good as the
peasant queen, although some of her
work was rather overdrawn. Miss
Warrenton appeared buth as the
aged mother of Draga and as
the convict who enables Draga to
escape Miss Warrenton's work is
thoroughly conscientious at all times.
and her scene in the torture chair was
we'll done. Harrison King as the King
of Servia wore an impossible mustache.
He was quite as heroic as was 11eces
sary. Myrtle Selwyn as the New York
girl left nothing to the imagination.
Frank F,rayne was good in the charac-
ter part of an Irish-Anlerican But it
was to Lillian Hayward and Pryse
Mackay that the honors of the fray
must be accorded.
The Queen of the Convicts" is one
long shudder.

OFFICER FELLS
THREE MEX|CAN9
TRIO RUSH AT HIM WITH
DRAWN KNIVES
Alameda Street Policeman Catches
One Fleeing Fellow From Whose
Wrist Handcuff Was
Dangling

Four Mexicans with knives in their
hands made an attempt on the life of
Patrolman Humphrey Saturday night
at late hour.
Tie men had been arrested for fight
ing by the officer, and as he held one of
them and attempted to handcuff the
man another of the men snedked up
behind the officer and struck him with
his fist.
The blow stunned the officer for a
minute, and as he turned he saw three
MeXicans coming toward him with open
knives.
AS they approached him Humphrey
dealt a terrific blow at the foremost
man, Telling the man and breaking the
officers club
In the meantime the Mexican whom
the patrolman had attempted to hand
cuff made his escape down Alameda
street. AS the man ran the officer fol-
lowed and succeeded in catching hold of
the dangling handcuff which pulled
loose from the MeXican's hand.
Humphrey said last night that the
men were a notorious set of thugs, and
that he expected to recapture the man
who had started to run with the hand
cuffs.
Humphrey has three six-inch blade
knives which his would-be assailants
dropped when the officer struck one of
them with his billy.

SEEK
BEACH RESORTS
CARS AND TRAINS PACKED BY
SUNDAY TRAVELLERS
Exodus to Mountains Was Large, Too,
and Los Angeles Was on
the Move All
Day

Perhaps half of the population of Los
Angeles left the city yesterday and
sought the cooling effects of the de-
licious sea br ezes at the several
beaches or the charms Of the hills.
Every car that left the Pacific Elec-
trio and the Los Angeles Pacific depots
was packed to it's capacity with Los
AngeIans.
From early morning until late in the
afternoon the crowds poured out of Los
Angeles
Men and women of wealth. the middle
classes and those who could hardly
afford the trip to the beaches were
among the hundreds that boarded every
car.
Some brought great baskets of
lunches, others took their meals at the
hotels at the different resorts.
The scenes at the different beaches
reminded one of the summer days on
the Atlantic coast. Umbrella space was
at a premium and there was little room
left for those who wished to stroll
about, More than half of the persons
who visited the bea tches donned bath
ing suits and spent more time in the
surf than out of it. The bath houses
It Long Beach, Santa Monica and else
where did a record business.
The temperature yesterday was just
three degrees less than that of New
Orleans, Atlanta and Cincinnati. The
latter three registered each 92 degrees,
while Los Angeles basked in 80 de-
grees.
Toward the close of the afternoon the
cool sea breezes began to roll in and in
the evening thousands strolled up and
down the broad avenues.
BY 10 o'clock it had grown so cool
that light wraps were in demand.

"Hello, is this the police station?
came an inquiry yesterday afternoon to
Desk Sergeant Dixon at the central
police station.
The voice was very soft and sweet
and the speaker was evidently a woman
of refinement.
"Yes," replied the gallant sergeant
removing his hat to the pretty woman
at the other end of the line. What can
we do for you?'
"Oh, something awful has happened;
a caterer sent up a gallon of his best
ice cream and somebody has stolen the
freezer"
The sultry heat in the dingy station
suggested the joy of cooling drinks and
velvety ice cream and the crime ap-
pealed to the young officer as a par
ticularly heinous one.
detective was detailed to investi-
gate and his story was narrowing. 1t
was learned that a gallon of luscious
ice cream had been left on the back
porch of a residence on Juliet street.
Some small boys saw the cream de-
ivered and evidently thought it would
taste especially good to their parched
little mouths.
The freezer disappeared.
Later in the day an officer from the
west side station called up to say he
found the ice cream freezer under a
spreading pepper tree.
The contents were gone. but a tiny
crust of delicious chocolate cream on
the rim of the cover spoke In mute but
eloquent language of the original con-
tents
The freezer was sent to central sta
tion as evidence" but the boys were
not found.
