cal .season in Omaha lias boon ilcciclodly
common place , tnla-ii all In all.
Anil as this is mill-Lent , and particularly
the period of retrospection , u ivvicw of things
theatrical seems particularly apropos.
From the standpoint ol the box olllco , that
Infallible critie of the merit or demerit of
n performance , so far as the manager is con
cerned , the season has been tood. notwllh-
iK tlii'.t Omaha has onu through a
period of llnunclal stress that has not bad its
eqnnl for many years ,
Hut from the standpoint of nrt the stage
has seemingly stood still , us there has been
little produced in thu local theatrical world
to warrant an extended eritienl notice.
Tim season has been In the main mailo up
of fnn-e-romedlc.1 , extravaganzas and comic
nperas. The better class of plays niul play
ers , with of course , several notable excep
tion * , have Ignored the metropolis entirely ,
much to the regret of these who are Interest
ed in the drama from a higher motive than
temporary enjoy incut.
Outride of tbo Hobtonians , A. M. 1'almcr's

rity. '
Thus far It has been an off year theat
rically , ami from the list of attractions still
to bo seen ut llovd's before the close of the
season , there Is little to warrant the hope
that the theatrical year will close with a loud
ilourish of trumpets. The drama Is seem
innly becalmed , and until the new theater
throws open Its doors wo cannot hope for
anything which will lift the haze that 1ms
bottled upon the play-bouses.

Dminii Abbott's liii'lni-i-nt ion.
Kmma Abbott reduced to ashes ! The wish
of her heart wns roali/ed n short time arro
hu incineration taking place at I'itlsbnrg
mknown to anyb.idy snvj-tho executors of
ho Abbott estate and a sister of lho do-
cased. ICvon Miss Abbott's aod motner
mow nothing of the cremation until she read
of it Wednesday morning in the newspapers.
She is past seventy year.i of agi ) and quite
eeble , and strongly protested again ! t tlio
mrning of bur beloved daughter's remains.
The executors feared that If she was notltled
of the emulation she might Insist on being
iresent and might not bo able to recover
'rom the shock.
It was decided about Uirso weeks ago to
nko the body to 1'lttsbtirg and have it
iceretly cremated. Two weeks ago last S.it-
irday Ibo executors , Messrs. Hoiighton end
Dunning of Now York and Major .laiiii-s L ,
Mitchell of Indianapolis , met in Chicago.
Sunday evening the cnskct was removed
from the vault ami placed in a plain collln for
( lie trm to I'ltbdmrg. Mrs. Chicle , the de
ceased's sister , who was at the Continental
hotel. Chicago , is the onlv lolntlve who was
present when the body was lomoved for
shipment.
A tlcicot was purchased for the body and
the train men had no intimation as to whoso
remains were in tlio box. The three execu
tors accompanied the body tn I'lttsburg. The
cremation took place In Samson's crematory.
The arrangements had nil been carefully
made , nnd wlion the train arrived , Mr. Sam
son himself met it and convoyed tlio remains
to his crematory , situated in the basenientof
his undertaking establishment. Mr. Sum-
son's son , who is u partner in the business ,
it id not oven know who the corpse was.
Tbo cremation occurred Monday evening.
The body was lifted froir tlio casket and
placed upon an Iron tutor. The singer still
wore the same dress the corpse npueired In
when so many friends viewed it In Chicago
on the day of the funeral , nnd the wilted
llowcrs still rested upon the body.
The features of the dead woman were still
ns natural as they were the nay she died. In
accordance with the reuuest of the will thu
electrical test was applied to the body , and it
was then gently rolled Intothe furnace. Only
lho executors nnd Mr. Samsou and his son
stood before the glass doors of tlio furnace
and saw tlio llesh and bones of thu sweet
singer turn into ashes.
In two hours the work was
done. 'I be ashes , enough to till half a gallon
cui ) , were tenderly gathered and placed , in a
silver urn , which was scaled nnd handed
over to the executors , Messrs. Ilougbton and
Dunning. The paramount provision nf tlio
singer's will had becu carried outiindn wish
that she had many times expressed to her
intimate friends had been gratilled.
Messrs. Hotighton ami Dunning curried
the sacred urn with them to New York nnd
placed it behind the bonds and other valua
bles ol Miss Abbott , locked in a snfotv
vault. In that vault the oshos will rest until
the Abbott monument at Gloucester is com
pletedwhich will be some time this summer.
Then the silver urn will be carried to the
Gloucester cemetery nnd buried beside Miss
Abbott's husband , Eugene U'elherill , at the
foot of the monument.
A New t'nmto Opera.
Wedne.sdsy cruniue the York , Neb. , opera
house wai Illled by a largo audience to wit
ness the lirst production of a comic- opera en
titled "The .ludge. " written nnd composed
by I'rof. ' J. Asher Parks , of the Lincoln con
servatory of music. The scene of the opera
Is laid at Newport , and from tlio rise to the
fall of the curtain , ills bright and sparkling ,
abounding in artistic situations , and ringing
with airs of the kind that are predestined to
become popular. Some of the characters are
remarkably strong and contain rare possibili
ties tor the genius of professionals. The ren
dering of the pleco by homo talent of York wns
laudable , and the airof amateurism usually
so disagreeable in homo performances , was
conspicuous by its absence. I'rof. I'.irks will
repeat the opera In several neighboring towns
before placing it on sale.

'It's ' a great pity , " said a theatrical man
ager recently , "if tlio story that Helnsco and
Do Mlllo , the playwrights , have severed
their partnership is true. They have worked
together for several years now with extraor
dinary success and had learned to adapt
themselves in their dramatic ; writing to each
other in a way that led to the highest artistic
"
results. No" one , for example , who did not
know that their plays vere written by two
men would ever suspect that they had been
created by moro than onu mind , so perfectly
did the workmanship of ono lit into that of
the other. Tlieir joint labors have resulted
in the contribution to the stage of several
really notable and representative American
dramas. 'The Wife' and The Chaiity Hall *
are umoiig tlio fo\v really good plays written
by Americans within the past Ion years , It
is impossible for mo to tell just how they
worked together , but it Is safe to say that
each ot them will lese something by the sep
aration. Hclasco , whatever bis ability as a
playwright may be , Is a brilliant stngo man
ager Indeed , ho is equalled in this capacity
by few men In this country. 1 have been
told that they intend to collaborate on n new
drama which they have been contemplating
for some time. I hope that this ts true and
that it will not bo the last of their work to
gether. "

The peculiar freaks of Pennsylvania ma

t.Uo Hi'and master that will pass into history
ns n Masonic curiosity. Kutno months ago it
was discovered that lu transfurrlng tbo
names from the subordinate lodto to the secretary -
rotary of the grand louge , the secretory of
the subordinate lodge had omitted the initial
of tnc middle name of ono of the members.
Tlio grand master ruled that the monibor ,
whose middlu Initial hail been dropped , was
nut loyally a Mason , and ordered that his
money bo refunded. The brother who was
declared not a brother by the worshipful
fraud master then made formal application a
second time. U'ho ' committee reported favor
ably and n few weeks af-'o the brother was
raised to the sublime decree of a Master Ma
son a second time. The brother emovs the
distinction of bcinjr the only man in America
who is doubly n.Mason. The brethren ot the
era ft are considerably exercised as to why
tbo grand master did not exercise Ills prerog
ative and have the records changed and thus
save the brethren a vast amount of labor and
the perfoimanco of a duty that possesses lu-
dicroas features.

OM\IU , March U. To tin ) Killlor of Tin :
Hi i. : Some parties reading a letter In Tin :
llii : : , tinder tbo beading of "Hinging Fltuiti *
rial Truths , " have ashed mo to reply to It ,
lly your permlHsloii 1 will do so. and will in. '
M brief as possible. Hut in It M a question
Unit Is tip , and tiptostny until a change shall
bo mudo In the \\holo llnnncial system of the
country , or the people are convinced that our
present system Is the best , perhaps you wll
bo willing to give considerable space to the
subject.
Lot mo see lint , \vlmt Mr. linker thinks
of the uprising of the farmers , who nro ilc (
maudlng a ehatigo. Ho says : "Thoy niv
but demanding their rights IH American eltl-
xi'iis ' ; that the gieat ipie.stioa that confronts
( lie people is the money iiuestion ; scarcity of
money means silent factories , Idle niul suf
fering peuple ; that the eieatlon of values
comes through worlt of .some kind ; that the
anricultnr.il interests have luvn depressed all
over the country for > ears , and
farmers tumble to bold their own ;
that the fanner lli.ds bankers and every hndv
else orgnni/cd toiirotect tlieir intoresls' ; that
n lart'er veliimo of money would greatly en-
imncn the value of land ; that nil the delit.-i of
Die government nro subject to repudiation ;
iliat the present voluino of money Is too
small ; that a law Is ncco.s.inry to prevent Iho
\\ealtli from being concentrated In thu Imndi
of the few ; Hint thu great great menaeo to
I he country Is the eonivnlr.it ion of capital ;
llmt the ciiirency of our nation N of supreme
importance to the well-fare of tbo people ;
that ciminicivial trade cannot prosper under
n false syilem of llnance ; that paper monev
may bo preferred as nn nctiim circulating
mediuni ; that our circulating meditim is less
Ihan one h.ilf of that ol Franco per capita ;
that experience Is the best test of truth ; that
[ he theory ( duty 0 of government is to pro-
lee t life , piupeny and the pursuit of Impiil-
less ; that every person is entitled to the
fruits of his own labor ; that the bulk of the
money Is In the hands of the banks , loan
agents and trust companies.1
The ditTeivnco of opinion netwcon the alll-
nnce people and Mr. Maker on
all of the ubcvo points , as
lho writer understands it , is ( ) HO.Hi ( ( ) .
l-'ollowing the ad missions of Mr. linker ,
which are in harmony with the farmers'
view , be makes MIIHO thirty odd assertions
that places him and them nlthoc\tivmc
ends ol the earth. "The farmers' demand that
the government shall loan money on land se
curity at'J per cent per annum. " This is
correct. "Coining money Is not the creation
of value. " Lawful money Is valuable of
whatever it may bo made , as it will enable
the people to exchange their products and
pay debts , the only uses there are for money.
Coining silver bullion Into dollars "creates"
about tnirty cents in every dollar coined by
our government , and 1'uek Mini "tho United
States mint is the only place where that can
be done. "
\Vitli a territory more than seventeen times
larger than Franco , Mr. liakor thinks Wiper
capita In this country is about equal to $ .Y ! lu
France , llo says that "issuing paper cur
rency on the credit of the government has al
ways proved disastrous. " Vos , for the all
sulllcient icason that these who advocated
specie fora basis have EO fur been able to
overthrow tbo laws making paper money.
"Tho farmers alliance is on the wrong trail
in hunting more currency. They should hunt
down the money .shark. " Mr. linker
says there should bo more monoy.
Does ho want the farmer to turn
highwaymen , or anarchists ! or would
he have them go into thu mountains to look
for gold ; Or would Mr. linker turn "pat
riot" and hnve congress ititiko a dollar from
' , ' 0 cents worth of sliver instead of the TO
cents worth they no\v usef Or would he
luivo 'i. > s grains of gold nmko&I.'i instead of
$10 , as it now does ' .
Mr. Baker says the farmers "cannot bor
row money cheaper limn at present. " That
depends wholly upon what laws they make.
Sixty million ol people are sixty million
stron'g as soon .is they learn that fact.
Mr. Halter attributes the hard times of
lst : , tsTiTaad bt : all to the same cause ,
namely , a redundancy of paper currency. In
ISiT and IS'i" the tiaper currency was on as
i-ouml a specie basis as ever we Irive hud.
Corporations were allowed to issue more
paper than they had snecie , and of course
could not redeem their issues , and when tlio
bankers could gather the people's property to
themselves by lailures to redeem , they did
so. Tlio currrrcy in use from 1HH to IMi'J
had no sjiecie behind it. The cause of hard
times in | srt ; was caused by destroying that
currency , as poor stuff ns Mr. Uaker
thinks it was. lion , John A. I.onan said that
that contraction amounted tolllsliiTsl. (
As a result of that contraction Mr. Logan
could ee our business operations crippled ,
mid labor red need to a mere pittance. " 1 can
" said be. "the of the
see , . hopes industrious
farmer blasted , as lie minis tils corn for fuel
because it will not pay the cost of transporta
tion. " He said much more , but hear what
.lohn Sherman said ; " \ \ lien that day comes
( contraction ) every man , ; s the sailor says ,
'
will bo : nil enterprise will'bo
suspcndeil ; every bank will have contracted
Its currency to the low &t limit ; and the
debtor , compelled to meet In coin , n debt con
tracted in currency , will Jlnil the coin boarded
in the treasury ; no representative of coin in
circulation ; his property .shrunk not only to
the extentof the appreciation of the currency ,
but still iiuiro by the nrtille'al ' scarcity made
by the hoarders uf gold. "
Mr. Sherman also says more , but it is use
less to repi-.it it. Mr. linker can leirn the
cause of the hard limes of \ > : \ anil down to
date if ho will cirefally study the two ques
tions , then open his eyes and look about.
Money is again being hoarded , until commer
cial failures have reached -IK ! ) in a Mnijlo
week. All thedistiess that Mr. Ilaker ad
mits tlio people aw in has been brought
upon us by a pretended specie system ,
Mr. Uaker says , in elTcet. that people don't
want the grccnlmuu redeemed , because they
Know the government can do it. Would a
man bo an iiMinrnmus or a \ \ iso man to nsk
the government for seventy cents worth of
silver when his greenback is worth a dollar ?
made so by law , and you must take It , if ten
dered , lu payment of debt. Or would he
wish it converted into a bond on which he
bo compelled lo pay interest , and tlio banker
allowed to issue currency not a legal tender !
"A genoritionhas grown up which actually
imagines that Unanccs have outgrown the re-
ilomptionof paper in coin. " U'lientlialfact
is better understood there will be more "Hat"
men and fewer "ignoramuses. "
"irredeemable p.ipur currency is a delusion
and n snare. " 1'uper that wanted the "Hat"
of the government to make it moi.oy has al
ways been -delusion and a .snare , " and will
continnesn to the end.
" 1'apereurroncy must haven metallc b-tsis
either of i-oin or bullion. Shall the United
States treasury become n great banking insti
tution "
Mr. linker says the whole mattorlunges on
that last tUt.'htion. | It does not. U'ho germ is
in lho statement that ' 'paper currency must
have a metallc basis , either In coin or bul
lion. " If that is true the government should
notiiedotno n banking institution. 11 it did
it would surely become what Mr. Ilaker says
it now is , "a perpetual pauper. " If it is not
true , and it is the duty of the government to
"protect life and property.1 and grant men
the right to .seek for happiness. Yes , let the
government go into the hanking business ;
let everybody bo equal sharers in the busi
ness.

settled that congress might issue treasury
notes , for from tlmo immemorial tbo two
have gone tufctlicr ono as the incident of
