NO WRESTLING
MATCH At state
FAIR DECIDED
Enlistment Of Top NotChers and
Zbyszko Injuries Eliminates
Al Opponents for
PeSek.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. u. (SpeciaD.-
Efforts by Ray Page, Lincoln pro-
moter. and Mart Slattery of Shelton,
manager of John Pesek, wrestling
phenom of Buffalo county to match
Pesek against one of the top-notch
heavies, the bout to be staged on the
fair grounds in Lincoln during state
fair week, have fivvered. A Stecher-
Pesek match was first suggested by
Page and Slattery, but the Dodge boy
explained that he had just enlisted in
the navy and, having no assurances
OF getting a furlough, could not con-
tract to go through with the propos-
ed match.
Then came Jack Curley of New
York with an announcement that he
would pit Wladek Zbyszko, the Pol
ish strongman, against the Buffalo
county wonder. Curley's telegram to
Page, accepting terms, was assumed
to be binding and the match was an
nounced two weeks ago. but all this
was knocked into a cooked dicer
when Curley flashed another wire in
which he declared that Zbyszko had
been injured in training" Page
then shifted to a Pesek-Lewis bout,
but the military authorities at Camp
Grant, where the Kentucky strang-
Ter" is in training, refused to issue
the soldier wrestler leave of abb
sence.
Substitutes Not Wanted.
John Olin, Yussif Hussane and
Steve Savage were offered as sub
stitutes for the big three" but pro-
moter Page had assured the state
fair board that he would put on a
match Of championship caliber or
nothing at all, so all negotiations
were called off, and Lincoln will have
no state fair mat match.
Larney Lichtenstein Of Chicago,
associated with Manager Slattery in
booking Pesek matches, insinuates
that Zbyszko's injury was plain
case OF running out" while post
card received in Lincoln today from
Jack Curley declares that libby will
be out Of commission for at least
month.
A heavyweight wrestling tourna-
ment is scheduled for Des Moines
this week--an adjunct of the Iowa
state fair. Zbyszko is one of the en-
tries. In event libby shows up at
Des Moines and takes part in the
Tournament. Lichtenstein will win
the argument. Otherwise, Zbyszko
and Curiey will be entitled to ver-
dict Of not guilty. The developments
at Des Moines will settle the debate.

Mr.. Brewer is a southerner, who
began his stage career some twenty
years ago as vocalist. Although his
method is strikingly individual, he is
successful in the quiet way which
made Ezra Kendall.
Fred Ballard, dramatist, is working
on new play. Harry S. Byrne met
him while in New York last week.
Mr.. Ballard is a native of Have

David Belasco will present "Polly

theater for two nights and Saturday
matinee, starting Friday night, Au-
gust so. This George Middleton and
Guy Bolton comedy will give local
theater-goers their first glimpse of
Ina Claire, the latest Belasco actress
to achieve fame. The cast is the or

Harry Lamont, at the Empress

with their Chinese songs and dances.
Tomorrow comes an entire change of

by "The Hotel De Fiddle" a young
musical comedy by Herman Tim
berg, with the four Winter Garden
dancing girls.
One of the many ways in which
to get more than ones moneys
worth at the Gayetv this week is to
vigorously applaud Jim Barton when
he exhibits those loose feet of his.
He has more eccentric steps to de-
liver than can be contained in a dane
ing speciality of reasonable length. and
it really takes two encores to get the
boy warmed up to show how nervous
his feet really are.
Morton Selten has been engaged
for the cast of "Humptv Dumpty,"
in which Otis Skinner will star.
"Under Orders" was produced last
week in New York and proved to be
an original idea. 1t is written by
Berte Thomas and though in four
acts. has four characters only-two
mothers who are twin sisters and
their sons. one pair Americans and
the other German. These characters
are imnersonated by Effie Shannon
and Shelley Hull. The plot deals
with efforts of the German officer to
imnersonate his American cousin,
who is prisoner in Germany.

A Protestant gentleman once said

a good thing, because it was a safe
guard for the morals of the young.
He was right; but he might have

the old as well. When is a human
being free Of temptation? The in
crease in the number of confessions
and communions, is indeed the most
hopeful feature in the life of today.

GREATNESS OF THE MASS.

To me nothing is. so consoling, so
thrilling, so overcoming as the Mass,
said as it is among us, says Cardinal
Newman. 1 could attend Masses for
ever and not be tired. 1t is not a
mere form of Words-it is great ac-
tion,. the greatest action that can be
on earth. 1t is not the invocation
merely, but if dare. use the word,
the evoeation of the. Eternal. He be-
comes. present on the altar in flesh
and blood, before Whom angels bow
and devils tremble.
This is that awful event which is
the scope, and the Interpretation of
every part of the so1emnity. Words
are necessary, but as means, not as
ends; they are not mere addresses to
the throne. of grace, they are instru-
ments of what is far higher, of con-
secration,. of sacrifice.
They hurry on, as if impatient to
fulfill their mission. Quickly they go,
the whole is quick, for they are all
parts of one integral action. Quick
ly they CO., for they are awful words
OF sacrifice; they are a work too great
to delay upon, as when it was said in
the beginning: What thou do'st,. do
quickly"
Quickly they pass, for the Lord
Jesus goes with them, as He passed
lalong the lake in the. days of His
flesh, quickly calling first one and
then another. Quickly they pass, be-
cause as the lightning which shineth
f from one part of the heaven unto the
tother, so is the coming of the Son of
Man.
Quickly they pass, for they are. as
the. words of Moses, when the Lord
came. down in the cloud, calling on
the name of the Lord as He passed
by: '"The Lord, the Lord God, merci-
full and generous, long-suffering, and
abundant in goodness and truth
And as Moses on the mountain, so
we too, make haste and bow our
heads to the earth, and ADORE" So
we, all around, each; in his place, look
out for the great Advent, waiting
for the moving of the. water" each in
his place, with his own heart, with
his own wants, with his own thoughts,
with his own intentions, with his own
prayers, separate but concordant,
watching. what is going, on, watching
it's progress, uniting in it's consum-
nation; not painfully and hopelessly,
following a hard form of prayer from
beginning to end, but, like a concert
of musical instruments, each different,
but concurring in sweet harmony,
we take our post with Gods priest,
supporting him, yet guided by him.
There are little children there and
old men and simple laborers and stu
dents in seminaries, priests prepar-
ing for Mass, priests making their
thanksgiving, there are innocent
maidenss and there, are penitent sin
ners; but out of these many minds
rises one, Eucharistic hymn. and the
great action is the measure and the
scope of it.

HOLY PICTURES. AND STATUES.

Painting and sculpture are, like ora-
tory and poetry, means of impressing
upon mems minds moral truths and
the deeds of heroes. When you see
the Stations of the Cross beautifully
represented you are moved to sym
pathize with our Sayiour's sufferings,
and to realize how much He endured
for your sake.
The Church from very early times
availed herself of art as. means of
instruction, although during the first
three centuries, when persecution
ragged most fiercely, there were no pic
lures in the churches. This was not
because Christians regarded paintings
as useless or wrong, but because there
were almost no buildings set apart for
public worship. The Christians were
mostly poor and oppressed, and con-
of, their Worship TO things strictly
necessary and Indispensable, spending
little upon the artistic OrnamentatiOn
of buildings that were liable to be de-
stroyed by the pagans at any moment.
Moreover, recent converts had gradu-
ally to give up the IDEAS that, as pa
gans, they had associated with pic
lures. AS early as the second century
tombs and baptistries were adorned
with symbolical representations, de-
rived as a rule from Holy Scripture,
so that Christ was. depicted as the
Good Shepherd, and the Holy Ghost
as a dove At the beginning of the
fourth century the Christians Ventured
to build stately churches containing
definite representations Of Christ, our
Lady and other saints. If we ask why
they did so, the Fathers and Councils
will tell us that pictures were intend
ed both to beautify the churches and
to- edify and instruct the faithful
Leontius writes: Pictures are not
our gods, but are open books, which
are expounded and reverenced in the
Church, in order that the sight of them
may dispose us to remember and wor-
ship Cod Serenus, Bishop of Mar
settles, in an excess of zeal tried to
Danish all pictures. from his church,
and Pope Gregory addressed the fol.
lowing remarkable words to him !:
.'You ought not to have destroyed
things which : We're, placed in the
churches. not for alteration, but sim.
ply for the instruction of the ignorant
1t is one thing to worship statue
and another thing to be impelled by
the sight of the statue to worship
God; for a picture is to the ignorant
what the Scriptures are to those who
are able to read.
