Welcome to Worthy Women.

If Omaha were walled with stone,
And at it's gates both day and night
The guns of sternest watchmen shone,
Yet would the guards with true delight
Give welcome and swing wide the gates
To those who come with motives good.
So warmest welcome here awaits
The nations noblest womanhood.
With hope and purpose pure and strong,
From many regions near and far,
AS following some guiding star,
You come with that sweet halowed song
Of Home, Sweet Home, upon your lips.
Blest guardians of that pure fount
Supplied by true companships,
The cause so dear to you shall mount
Above the heartless schemes of men,
Above the british motives rise,
Until the righteous spirit reign
That loves and lifts and purifies.

The American Federation of Labor

The American Federation of Labor
at its recent meeting took position
in favor of trade schools, under the
supervision of representatives of
trades unions and employers. This
sounds well, but it remains to be
seen whether results will be better
than under the old apprentice sys-
TENS which the labor unions have all
but exterminated.

Elliott sang with much expression a
prayer commencing thus:

Elliott sang with much expression a
prayer commencing thus:
Lord, speak to me, that may speak;
| In living echoes of Thy tone;
| As Thou hast sought, so let me seek,
| Thy erring children lost and lone.''
Miss Hendrix, who appears to be
faith and optimism embodied COM
menced her talk with an impassioned
appeal to her comrades to be filled
with the spirit She said, "The
only way to have power is to have
God. If we have the Holy Spirit we
have power. If we have the Spirit
We have the fruits of the Spirit,
Galatians 5: % %, and the power.
We are going to redeem this state
of Minnesota, not by might or by
power, but by Thy Spirit. But let
us not pray Thy kingdom come,
and then sit down and think there is
nothing for US to do. If we ask the
Lord and don't do our part, we need
not expect an answer.
She earnestly entreated the Union
to double its force by the simple
easy plan of each member securing
new member. If every one brought
in a recruit, the force would be
doubled. A larger membership in
creases both the Unions usefulness
and influence. Ohio made net gain
of 5000 members last year. If we
double our membership we will be
5000 strong.
Emphasis was placed on the i'm
portance of training the young for
temperance, of when prohibitory
and other necessary laws are passed
they will still have to be enforced.
To this end medal contests and essay
contests were strongly endorsed.
A larger memorial offer than usu-
al is called for this year, as great
advances are planned to be made all
along the line, thus needing more
money to be raised.
The members were urgently re-
quested to wear their knots of white
ribbon constantly, as it both showed
where they stood and created tenn
perance sentiment. Some Unions
fine their members a nickel every
time they are discovered at church,
or down town, or at any gathering,
unadorned with their badge. The
penalty, though light, soon effects a
cure.
Miss Hendrix besought her hearers
not to be discouraged even if they
could not do much. God can place
great blessings on feeble efforts.
Whatever ought to be done, can be
done by whoever has the courage to
undertake it, because of the omni-
potence Of God. And the work is
such rapid strides. The
prospects are good and every White
Ribboner should be hopeful and en-
thusiastic for God has been so gra-
cious.

"TAFF'' ROMAN DID NOT
 SURVIVE SUICIDAL ATTEMPT

Death finally claimed Adolph G.. Kohman, Saturday night, at St. Vim cents hospital, after a week of finger ing between life and death since he tried to end his life by slash1ng his throat and abdomen. With sight de- ried him he had struggled along for many years as a newsletter, a busi- ness he entered shortly after he re- signed his position as a letter carrier. His aff1iction was borne with a for titude that was never brought home to those about him, for he suffered in silence and played the cheerful man until his pent up feelings could no longer be restrained. Then came the act, which though at first unsuccess- ful, later proved the means of accom- plishing his desire.
 As he lay in Bridgeport hospital during the past week he regretted his rashness and fought as bravely for life as he had for it's destruction. For a while ne seemed to have conquered, but as time passed on he began to weaken and on Saturday. night death relieved him on his struggle in his life of darkness.
 The funeral was held yesterday at the parlors of William Lieberum 6 Son, Rev. c. Sturges Ball officiating. It was the wish of the deceased that the funeral be private and only mem bers of the family were present. The remains were taken to Middle Village, l.. l. for incineration.

 The stepGnother and daughter dis agreed from the start over uninaport- ant matters and the father sided with his wife. This only strengthened the dislike of the stepmother tor the girl and matters went from bad to worse Conditions became so intolerable TOT the Slrl that she was not allowed butterS on her bread and she had to sdeepsAn the celler. As to her personal appearance 1t was frightfud. Her hair was unkept and had not been washed for weeks. When taken to the Lake. view home her hair was entirely cut off and her scalp cleaned thoroughly
 The stepmother b1arnes the girl fo1 all the conditions from which the child has been suffering. At the charities building yesterday morning in the presence of severad strangers the mother hun1iliated the girl as much as she could by accusing her of steal ing and of being too lazy to keep her self clean. The tears flowed down the cheeks of the girl under such pub lie abuse but the father sat on the same bench with her without mur- muring a protest.
 There has been no denial that the girl he's been a. little wayward and has fallen in bad company but she has not gone as far as many Of hel companions and little kindness might have gone a long ways with her.

CHINAMAN ALMOST **
 SCARED TO DEATH
Boys Who Were Indulging
 In Prank Find It Costly


 It was costly prank which James Law and William Martin played upon Leon Gong a Chinaman with a laun- dry at 1206 Stratford avenue, on State street near the City Hall Saturday night One of them offered to shake hands with him, the boys claimed, and he refused to shake. He then started up State street toward Main, on the run. At Main and State streets while trying to get on a car Leon fell to the road. Russell Boyton who was with the other two but had gone on ahead tried to catch Leon to pre- vent him from falling. He did not Jumping up he ran across the street and shouted for the police. He found Policeman Connery near Bank street and had the trio arrested claiming that they assaulted him to rob him of his money. That is the story the boys tell.
 The Chinaman claimed that the boys punched him in the face and body and finally knocked him off the sidewalk could think of was that they want ed to rob him.
 The boys denied all these allegations and said they were fooling. Their at torney, Frederick Fallon, argued that it was a boyish prank and asked that 1t be treated as such. Deputy Judge Wilder didn't see the joke, however, and fined Martin and Law S25 and costs each. Boyton who went ahead appeal was taken by Attorney Fallon in each of the two cases where fines were imposed. Bonds were fixed at s10O.

ROSE STALL SCORES
 IN CHARACTER PLAY

With James Forbes clever comedy
 '"The Chorus Lady, as a. vehicle Rose
 Stahl presented herself to a Bridge
 port audience for the, second time at
 Jacksonfs Theatre last night. Rose '"The Chorus Lady" was first present ed in New York three years ago and it has stood her in good stead ever since. Fresh from a successful visit to England, she is now making a final tour of the United States, before leav- ing her first love to lesser lights.
 Few of the original company were in the cast last night, but despite that fact it was an evenly balanced and we'll produced presentation. "The Chorus Lady, is similar in construc- ton to James Forbes later comedy 'The Traveling Salesman" At no time
 does the action vary from an unifor-
 unity strong enough to hold ones at tention. The dialogue however, is of the true Forbes, type, snappy, slangy
 and a great deal of it. Most of the characters evidenced a tendency to re- straint, a failure to let themselves out in the more serious moments of the play, a. weakness that might come of a play of such retarded action.
 Rose Stahl as Patricia OBrien show ed a care-free, independent chorus girl who is suddenly presented with the problem of caring for a younger stage-struck sister Miss Stahrs clev- CT work was very well appreciated by large and discriminating audiences. Wilfred Lucas, as the rough horse owner, who loves the chorus lady, was excellent at all times. Dick Crawford was played by Stanley Jessup. His was the disagreeable part and the role
 was capably handled. The Irish pa rents of the t1ady'' were true types as given by Alice Leigh and Giles Shine. The unwinding of the story was
 somewhat abrupt, but in so clever a
 manner that it did not detract from
 the enjoyment of the play as whole.

P. upright boiler and coal tower, run- ways, and electrical cars running from the receiving point of the coal to diff by electric cable. The plants ability to discharge coal will be at the rate of 80 tons an hour, a little a ton a minute.
