It was toward the close of Mr Mans
fields engagement Tho Grand opera
house presented an appearance of gaiety
and warmth in striking contrast to tho
cheerless gloom of the April evening
The deep red walls rose to the lofty ceil
ing The whole interior was ablaze with
light The curtain a magnificent paint
jug of the Grand Canon of the Colorado
framed by the silver prescenium is a
work of exceptional merit One may
easily imagine as he gazes upon it that
he is looking into the gorge itself and
from it may gain some conception of the
canons majesty and grandeur Not tho
least interesting feature of the scene
were tho people who thronged the audi
torium from orchestra to roof Beauti
ful women splendidly costumed adorned
with jewels that represented fortunes
and wearing laces that were priceless
filled the boxes and overflowed onto the
main floor Men prominent in the citys
affairs occupying seats by their sides
were all but overlooked in the preemi
nence of feminine finery
The strains of an overture floated up
from beneath the stage The hum of
conversation rose in a rumbling moni
tone A bell jangled a signal Tho or
chestra ceased playing The bell
sounded again and the curtain rose
upon the first act
The scene was laid at Bath in the time
of George II A number of gentlemen
attired in the brocades the knee breeches
the silk stockings the low buckled
shoes affected by the members of the
fashionable world of that day were
seated and standing about talking and
drinking the waters Presenth they
were joined by a large company of gen
tlemen and ladies One of them retailed
to the crowd eager for a sensation the
latest bit of gossip from Paris It seemed
that the Due of Orleans who -had
been cast into prison for refusing to
marry the woman whom his cousin
Louis XV had chosen for his wife had
escaped and was at that time fleeing to
England disguised as a servant in the
train of the French ambassador While
they were still digesting the latest scan
dal there appeared among them a man at
tired in sombre black His eyes fell upon
the Lady Mary Clifford the most beau
tiful and haughty woman in England
The stranger fascinated by her charms
addressed himself to her He was rec
ognized by some of her companions as
one who was known as a French hair
dresser and for his presumption and
impertinence was forthwith expelled
from the society of these superior folk
Before they could put him out however
he told them he was M Beaucaire and
that any who wished to play would at
all times find him ready for a game
Among those who availed themselves of
his invitation was the Duke of Winter
setthe greatest noble of the realm whom
he caught cheating one day M Beau
caire demanded as consideration for
silence an introduction at the Lady
Marys ball to be given that night The
Duke at first indignantly refused but
was coerced When he and the unbid
den guest the latter disguised as a
French nobleman appeared at the ball
the hostess to the consternation of the
Duke showed the stranger every mark
of her favor The Duke himself an
ardent admirer of the Lady Mary
aroused the ire of his friends by telling
them the supposed nobleman was an
impostor They determined upon a
course calculated to rid themselves of
the interloper Captain Badger the
best sword in all England insulted the
Frenchman The captain and the
stranger retired to the garden where in
the duel that was fought the captain
was quickly and easily overcome
The Frenchman was not permitted to
enjoy the fruits of his victory While
he and the Lady Mary were walking in
the garden by moonlight he was set
upon by a pack of the Dukes ruffianly
followers and although he was one to
their six he put them all to rout The
Duke appeared opportunely and de
nounced the supposed nobleman as an
adventurer The Lady Mary convinced
the next county- fair If the fair shall uhat she had been deceived left him in

lists usually are after they make their I Finally however the disguise of M
escape irom tuecmei oiacKsmitn oi tuac
shop it will be a credit to Eedwillow
Beaucairebeing penetrated he was found
to be the Due of Orleans himself Ho
and the Lady Mary who protested that
she had loved him for himself alone
were happily reconciled
Beaucaire is a comedy from life in
which nearly overy one at some time
takes a part Perhaps this is the rea
son crowds flock to see its presentation
They would rather hear the old story
retold than to hear a new one Indeed
there are no new stories to be told
There is only this same old old tale that
has descended from generation to gener
ation since men came upon earth The
setting the stage scenery is different
each time but the story is always the
same We are content with it because
we do not even dream of anything else
We do not tire of it because its interest
is intensely human The only wonder
is that when we can see so much that is
genuine we take such keen enjoyment
is the fictitious the spurious knowing
that it is such that privileged to
handle tho coin current we accept the
counterfeit The actors in the drama of
life make love in reality feel the sensa
tions they profess to have The people
of the stage are moved not by passion
but by considerations themost sordid
by ambition by infatuation of gain

Up to date not a discordant note has
struck our ear concerning tho candidacy
of Judge Norris of McCook for congress
man in the Fifth district
The announcement by Governor Sav
age that he is not a candidate for govern
or will be received by Eepublicans gen
erally with satisfaction It is wise on
tho part of the governor and timely for
the party And if Treasurer Stuefer
should follow suit it would further great
ly ease and simplify the situation

istine has been called upon by tho
supreme court of New York state to
show thern why he cant devote S10

born while ho was living with a Miss

bad enough but free paternity is not to
be encouraged in thrifty New York
J Sterling Morton died at the home
of his son Mark in Lake Forest Illinois
Sunday afternoon after a brief illness
Apoplexy was tho immediate cause of
his death With his demise one of Ne
braskas landmarks is removed He
was one of the states builders an able
aggressive virile man who though he
did not make friends of all did command
the respect of all and the admiration of
many He was a man of spendid ability
and a citizen of unsullied character In
Arbor Day he will have an enduring
memorial
Their acting is not the expression of
their emotions Further their genius
is measured by their ability to simulate
not the real but the ideal lover an im
aginary being somewhat better than the
best of men Is it this hope for the re
alization of our ideal this insatiable de
sire for something above and beyond
anything we know that takes us to the
play Or is it the unaccustomed sur
roundings the lights the shades the
warm coloring the display of rich fab
rics the superficialities those objects
that appeal not to the conscience but
to the consciousness through the sense
of sight that arrest our attention and
interest us
