Roosevelt at Mass.


A correspondent of the New York
Times gives an interesting account
of the jubilee held in celebration of
the silver anniversary of the ordina-
ton of Father John J. Curran. a
prominent Roman Catholic priest in
Wilkesbarre, Pa, on August %.
Colonel Roosevelt was an honored
guest and politics was not barred by
any means. The Times account of
the event says:
Father Curran read the mass,
which was celebrated at the Church
of the Holy Saviour, East End, and
impressive services marked the cere-
mony. Colonel Roosevelt occupied
a front pew, while, Bishop M. J. Ho-
ban, Of Scranton, Vicar General
Turner, of Philadelphia, and Mon
signor O'Maylley, Of Pittston, had
seats of honor in the sanctuary.
There were perhaps fifty priests
present. The church was filled to
overfEowing.
"It was after the sermon by the
Rev. John J. O'Donnell that Father
Curran arose to thank those who
were doing him honor. Then turn
ing from that subject, he said:
When times of great upheavals
come, las priest and citizen should
read and study the conditions as
they occur, and should go straight
ahead and fight for what I think is
right. There arc certain factors to-
day which are changing our lives,
and We must study these conditions.
We want justice and the rights of
man. We must face these condi-
tics, and once we have the convic-
ton that we are right we must not
falter. We must progress. Some
may think we are ahead of the
times. I do not think So If we are
unselfish in our motives for the up
lift of our fellow men we shall win
out. I have made up my mind and
shall go ahead
"As Father Curran and Colonel
Roosevelt left the church for the
parish house, there was a stampede
by the congregation to congratulate
the priest and shake hands with the
colonel. Roosevelt was escorted to
the front porch, from which he
spoke briefly.
''The ex-president was hurried by
automobile to Harvey's Lake, where
he held a short reception, standing
beside Father Curran. Then the
two hundred guests, including men
of all creeds, sat down to dinner,
Roosevelt sitting at the head of the
table between Father Curran and
Monsignor T. F. Coffey, of Carbon
dale. Over the colonel's head were
pennants bearing the words, Our
Next President
after he had smiled his thanks
for the applause that greeted him,
the colonel praised Father Curran,
and then the Roman Catholic
priests in general.
'"I want to add one thing to what
Bishop Hoban said when he said
that in Ireland the priest had a pc
culiar hold on his parishoneFs,' be-
gan the colonel Il want to say that
I think the American priest has in
herited it in full. There is not an
other country in the world where it
is SO we'll worth while as in America

0RPHEUM SEASONS OPENING
MARKS AN IMPORTANT EPOCH

The opening Of the Omaha orpheum
season, which begins August 25, marks
an epoch In the history Of this famous
circuit, the twenty-fifth anniversary of
which was celebrated In San Francisco
on June 80 of this year.
Additional significance and Importance
were given to the event by the fact that
about the same time the Orpheum made
It's entry into New York through an ar
rangement by which the Orpheum The
ater and Realty company. in conjunction
with B. F. Keith and his eastern asso-
ciates, purchased the Percy @. williams
circuit, consisting Of the leading vaude-
Vile houses. some ten in number, in
Greater New York. At the same time an
affiliation was entered into binding for
twenty years all the high-class vaudeville
theaters Of the United States and Canada
to book jointly so that acts might be en-
gagged for several consecutive years and
unprecedented inducements offered to the
foremost artists Of the world to enter
vaudeville.
1t goes without saying, therefore, that
the Orpheum circuit has the first call on
every vaudeville act of note and its
patrons will get the very best shows that
capital brains and enterprise can obtain.
Special arrangements have been made for
the coming season to take particular care
Of telephone orders. Usual prices will
prevail for the coming season.

Good Story Put Over
Brand Whitlock by
Meredith Nicholson

Meredith Nicholson, the novelist who
married an Omaha S!rl, Miss Eugenia
Kountze of the family of bankers OF that
name and Brand Whitlock, the mayor OF
Toledo, are very warm friends.
Some time ago Nicholson said to Whit
lock: Brand, l envy you. You come In
contact with all kinds of men You
actually know and talk to burglars and
other criminals All I know about them
is what ! read or imagine about them
Now the next time you meet a good
burglar / want you to send him to me-
Give him a card to me, and tell him
will pay his car fare and expenses, ]
want to talk to him and see how q
criminal differs from other men,
Whltlock promised to send along the
next good specimen of burglar that
came his way, and forgot all about the
matter until some weeks later he re-
ceived this letter from Nicholson:
Your friend came, but I had not ex-
pected him professionally. If you will
tell him to bring back the family plate
and Mrs Nicholson's jewels, you and !
will resume social relations"
At any rate, this is the way the story
teller for Hearst magazine tells 1t.

GRAY HAIR DARkEnED
A Simple Mome-Made Preparation
That Excels the Best Dyes
and Stains.

1t often occurs that the simplest and
least expensive preparations are the
most meritorious, and this simple little
recipe for darkenlng gray hair and cor
rectlng tie Ills Of the scalp will be found
to possess all the merits of the most
famous dyes, stains and other hair nos
trums. 1t is made by adding to ozs. Of
water one small box OF Barbo Compound,
OF. Of bay rum and \ OF. OF glycerine.
Get the ingredients at any drug store at
very little cost and prepare the mixture
at home. Apply to the hair or beard
once week until the gray hair Is dark
ened sufficiently, then once every two
weeks will do. This Is remarkably good
mixture for gradually changing the gray
hair to nice glossy brown, and is equally
as good for removing dandruff and other
scalp humors and for promoting the
growth Of the hair 1t does not make the
hair sticky, does not color te scalp or
soil clothing or pillow slips, like many
made-up dyes and stains II your drug
gist cannot supply Barbo Compound, ask
him to order II for you.

"Mohammed All, Lahore, India"
This, written in the Paxton hote

guests and bell boys yesterday morning
Someone had whispered that there had
arrived during the night an East Indian
prince, and lively interest was mani

and pulled down their blouses In antici-
patton of 'baksheesh' in liberal hunks,
and many guests loitered about the lobby
to get glimps of the imperial person
age.
1t seemed a long wait, but finally there
stepped out of the elevator a rather
striking. dark complexioned man. His
hair and neat moustache were coal black.
and he wore a neatly wound turban. Yes,
he was nothing short OF a prince, and
the bell hops hoped to him in royal
fashion, doing salaams and kowtows
until their backs and necks ached. The
clerks awakened to the emergency. The
guests surrounded the visitor. and with
outstretched hands addressed him as

Yeiser Has Scheme
to Sew Up Taft Men
at State Convention

John O. Yeiser declares that six of the
electoral candidates will announce them
selves for Roosevelt while only two are
for Taft. According to Yeser the pro-
gram now will be to hold state con-
vention and nominate two men for
Roosevelt electors. naming at the same
time the six men already on the repub-
lican ticket who favor Roosevelt. Then
they will endorse the entire republican
state ticket outside of the electors. He
smiles as he talks of the scheme of
getting the six Roosevelt electors on
the ticket in two places both at the
head of the republican and progressive
column, This sews the Taft people up
in great shape" says Yeiser
Although the Roosevelt party has re-
ceived name through the preamble
of the platform adopted at Chicago and
is to be known as the Progressive"
party, Mr.. Yeiser says he is still re-
publican.
Asked If he would have any part in
the proposed convention to be held by
the ''progressives," he said he would
confer with his friends when they re-
turned from Chicago.

Sunday evening, died Wednesday night at

in self-defense
