Some fifty members of the Omaha Inde
pendent club mot at their ball on Fifteenth
street yesterday afternoon to select delegates
to attend the Industrial conference that meets
In Cincinnati Tuesday. May VS.
D. C. Dovors was introduced by President
Kelsey nnd spoke upon tbo subject , "De-
Dressed America. "
Hosaid the Indications are that the people
of this country nro prosperous. They are
not. The owners of the farms and the buildIngs -
Ings of America are mortgaged for more than
they are worth. The railroids are owned by
foreign capital. Go to London nnd you
will find that the wealthy men of
that city own America. The dcods
to the finest buildings in Chicago -are held bv
men who llvo In London. If this thing con
tinues it will not bo long baforo the children
of this country will bo turned out of doori
and become an army of tramp ? .
These s&mo money sharks of England hnvo
foreclosed the mortgages and taken posses
sion of moro than seventy-five thousand ncres
of land In this country. If this system Is not
changed ere long , there will bo a revolution
bloodier than any of tbo people of this world
hnvo over witnessed.
President Kelsey spoke upon tno subject ,
"Whither Are Wo Drifting ns a Nation and
a People' "
Ho referred to the war of. the rebellion ,
Baying"As the result of that war wo
struck the fetters from J.OOU.OUO blacks nnd
rlvoUxl them upon lh.OOtXM ) ( of whites. "
Continuing , ho said the congress of the
United Hiatus is controlled by English capi
tal. The country Is n country lor the batiks ,
of the binks nnd with the banks.
"Imaginefrro America. " said ho , "when
In tbo little state of Hhmlp Island jn.dOi ) mon
nro disfranchised simplv because tnoy
are nut property owners Shame on that
state. The constitution provides that before
a man can bo a voter ho must own * Ktl
worth of property. "
"Wo call this u free country , but look at it
today. Fifty men with their millions of
money can put their heads together and con
trol congress In such a inannor as to stop all
JpglslfUlun. Still they will tell us that this
Is a free country. "
"Shall wo stand Idly by , whiln wo are
drifting into this gulf ! Shall wo talk of sup
ply and demand , when in one end of t.o !
country they have coal that thev cannot sell ,
nnd In tlio other etui 01 the land they have
corn that they must cat and burn because
there Is no market ) "
Ho denied that the laooring men are com
munists and said that if the flap should bo
assailed , thousands of them would rush to its
protection.
Ho stated that the American Hag is no
longer the Hag of libctty , nor the emblem of
freedom. Ho thoucht that instead of send
ing mon to the south to give the colored men
the right to vote , it would tie n good plan to
send n few soldiers to Hhodo Uland to give
the poor white voters some chance for their
llvos.
The election of delegates was declared to
bo In order.
C. W. Miller was placed in nomination. 1.
P. Brigham objected , claiming that Miller is
to represent South Omaha in the conference.
William Mulhnll was nominated , but de
clined to servo. The president suggested
that Omaha is entitled to thrco delegates.
J. W. Kdgcrton , T. B. Mlnimlum and T. C.
Kolsoj were placed In nomination. William
Mulhall stepped upon the i-ostrum and de
livered n thrilling speech. Ho said :
"Tho ' . ' . 'i.OOO laboring mon of Omaha should
bo ashamed of themselves. Hero Is n meet
ing called tn the interest of laboring men ,
and only a few nro present. The mon who
should crowd this hall are absent , and I tell
you it is not encouratring. These men ask us
to assist them , but when the time comes
they are not willing to assist themselves. "
lie rnked tl.o Central labor union fore and
oft nnd charged that it only appropriated S.V )
to bear the expenses of the lobbjisu who
were at Lincoln last winter in the "interest of
labor mutters.
Mr. Mulnall was called to order.
T. B. Mlnnahan regarded the attendance
as oncouraclng.
Jesse lilako said the laboring men did not
dare attend the meeting for fear of being
rr-6pottod nnd discharged.
> J. W. Tiornoy Knew better. The laboring '
men nru not afraid and the non-attendance
was on account of their own negligence. Ho
said : "You will find them in the grog shops
and tbo alleys Instead of being bore to work
for their Interests. "
John Hall know the laboring men are
afraid tu attend labor meetings. He de
nounced Tiorncy's tnlic as wind.
Louis Ihms did not like tbo Idea of two
lawyers going ns delegates , Ho Thought it
unfair to the working men , who are In tbo
malority.
S. J. Urodorlck asked If the lawyers are
not laboring men. Ho was answered by a
loud cry of " .No ! "
"Aro they not useful members of society ! "
ho mked.
"No"1 catno from two score of throats.
Mr. Minnalmn said bo would not be n can
didate unless it was the wish of the meet
ing."If
"If I go , " said he , "It will not bo alone for
the laboring men , but for all classes. "
C. W. Miller thought it good policy to
mnko the lawyers stay in the back ground.
"They have boon elected to the legislature
nud now sco the result , " said ho.
Colonel Harry Van AUtino knew that the
lawyers killed nil the labor bills that were
Introduced nt the last session of the legisla

Despite the chilliness of the nir yesterday
the band concert nt Hanscom park attracted
fully five thousand people to that sylvan re
treat , where art and nature seem to meet in
pleasing competition.
For several hours tbo principal drives nnd
wulKs leading into the park b came rivulets
of humanity , nnd during the concert , which
lasted until 5 in the afternoon , choirs
and rustle seats In tbo vicinity of tbo
band stand were in great demand.
The porticos of the handsome now pavilion
were thronged with Indies ami gentlemen anil
hundreds stood or snt upon the green sword
on the hillside , where tbo melody rose and
fell the breezes.
upon The driveways were
filled with vehicles and the swingi In the
glen near the lower lake were ullvo with
children.
Cosmopolitan Omaha was nt the park In Its
hnpplost mood.
Mr. llaiduff , the caterer opened the now
tl.VUO pavilion for the first time to the
public.
The Musical union band rendered tbe pro
gramme to the evident satisfaction of tbo
thousands who listened.
Superintendent Adams and a BKB man
made u tour of inspection over the park.
"You will observe , " said Mr. Adams
nt tbo outset , "that the work
wo are doing now makes a per
ceptible improvement in tbo appearance
of the park. Last year wo did tbo rough ,
heavy work that was absolutely necessary
. .as a foundation for what bad to fallow. From
now on every stop wo take will be soou in
the increased beauty of these prounds , and
bv next year the grandeur of Mr. Cleveland's
plain \\ill bccln tu LM appreciated. "
Tbo brooklet that loads from tbo upper to
the lower lake has been bedded with stone
nnd gravel , end its banks h To been beauti
fully godded down to the gravel bottom.
The cascade , near the south west corner of the
grounds , that wasn't a cascade because It
was a toboggan slide , lias b.-on rebuilt , The
docllno of perhaps forty feet from the | > olnt
nt which the tvater escapes to the bed of the
lake below has been paved with Rranlto blocks
nnd nt short Intervals along the course of the
water the atones project above the level sur
face , causing the wat r as It rushes down to
leap and spatter nnd spurt , bcatlnp nnd churnIng -
Ing Itself into froth and foam by tbo time it
reaches the bottom.
Mr. Adams has planted creeping vines
along the margins of the water course , that
will In tlmo creep up and cover all tbo rocks
not washed br the falling water. The banks
alone tno ravine nenr the cascade have been
thickly set with shrubbery , and In n few
years will present a very natural and hand
some appearance.
"Wo have planted woodbine nbout the
naked trees along the principal walks nnd
drives , " said Mr. Adams , ns ho paused In tbo
ratnbleto point out n large tree , against whoso
gnarled surface a tender vine was making IU
way toward the sky , "and you may notice as
wo pass along that some of the vines have
already made considerable growth. "
Prom the drive on the hill nt tbo south
side of the park and at several other points
the superintendent called attention to the
views that may bo obtained through the
chiaroscuro of Ino foliage.
"Wo have labored to orcscrvo most of the
real good trees , " said tbo superintendent ,
"and at tbo same time to provide a number
of perspective vlow.s that will bo and are
now very beautiful and effective. There Is
such n tblng , you know , as making a sixty-
acre p.irk look like it is t00 ! acres. The
vistas or glimpses through the trees from cer
tain points nre beautifully deceiving.
1 stooj hero the other day with a gentleman
from Chicago who would scarcely believe mo
when I told him it was only a quarter of n
mile to the hill yonder above the old park
houso. He supposed from the peculiar pers
pective of the view we have through the
trees from here that it was fully half a mile.

St. Philomena's cathedral was tilled last
evening to its fullest capacity , bcorea of
chairs , crowded Into over > available place ,
wore all taken , while many who wore unable
to enter the church proper were willing to oc-
cupv standing room in the vestibule.
The occasion that called this large and
thoroughly appreciative nudienco together
was an evening of sacred music given by St.
Philomeua's cfioir , assisted by Mr. Jules
Lumbard , Lieutenant John Klnzle , Boyd's
oponi house orchestra , under the direction of
Mr. Len II. Salisbury , nnd the Omaha string
quartette. Both of the cathedral choirs were
Joined in ono grand chorus for the occasion ,
under the direction of Miss Fannie Arnold.
Miss Margaret Swift onesided at the organ.
The program was quite an elaborate affair
of thirteen numbers. Aside from the orches
tral work , which was in Itself a treat , the
solos and choruses wore very pleasing and
exceedingly well rendered.
Several { .elections from Haydn's mass in D
were suug ; "Gloria in Excelsis , " Mrs.
Downey and choir ; "Gratlas Agirnus , " Miss
Swift and choir ; "Qui Tollls , " Mr. Luinburd
and choir.
A quartette , consisting of Miss Arnold ,
Mrs. Ultter , Messrs. Kinzio and Br.iun , sang
"Gratias Agimus" from Clmarosa's military
mass , and Miss Kennedy the soprano solo ,
"Quonintn tu Solus. "
Mr. Braun , Mi s Arnold and Mrs. Ultter
with tlio choir sang the "Kyrll" from the
same composition.
Miss Arnold sang Fnuor's "Sancta Mariu"
very sweetly , with orchestral accompani
ment.
Lieutenant Kinzio sang Gounod's "Ave
Maria , " with violin obligate by Prof , E. J.
Ilrott ,
The string quartette accompanied Mrs.
Hitter in her rendition of Handel's contralto
solo , "Let the Bright Serapuim. "

MY IDEAS OF CLEOPATRA ,
The Difftranca Between Helen of Troy and
Egypt's ' Queen.
FANNY DAVENPORT CONTRASTS THE TWO.
Ono Content with the Admiration
Crcnti'il by Her llcntity , the
Other Influenced by Anl-
niul I'awslon.
My Ideas of Cleopatra are founded upon
the thoughls of master minds nnd my own
study. My suggestlous to these nbout to em
brace dramatic art n.s a profession are founded
upon my personal experience of over twenty-
two years.
Helen anil Cleopatra nro models never
wearying contemplation , because of their
total dissimilarity. Helen was beautiful
every inch n queen but listless aud Inani
mate , perfectly passive , whether in the arms
of her husband , Mcnelaus , or with her lover
Pans. She was content with the admiration
created by her beauty , and accepted with
out emotion the knowledge that her loveli
ness inspired the Trojan cause moro than
love of country , and encouraged Hector to
deeds of va'.or moro than hope of personal
glory. Without emotion , too , she could re-
all/o "for every false drop In her sluggish
veins a Grecian life sunk ; for every fcruplo
of her contaminated carrion weight a Trojan
slain. "
In seeking for a lover to supply Cii-sar's
piaco she demanded equal afllnitv , and had
bho searched tno world over she could
not have fouml it moro perfectly developed
than In Antony. Ho was admirably adapted
In every way to continue too story of Ccsar's :
ninoun , nnd it was lilting that ho should boA
tbo last bccauso the best of Cleopatra's loves.
ANTONY'S I ItAUUTKIt.
A thorough appreciation of Antony's char
acter Is necessary fora thorough uppieciatlon
of Cleopatra's. Julius dinar's UtMth was the
stepping stone of Marc Antony's fume. His
entrance t3 the triumvirate was natural.
Hold , ener Mc , vigorous in lusty manhood ,
full of annual magnetism , his impression was
left when hU presence was withdniwn. Ho
was , i royal luvcr , rcadv to swap klnirdoms
lor Kisses and ransom lives for jests. Ho was
not a man of strong mind. He passed under
tno t dominion of Egypt's queen as quietly ns
the t prisoner goes to his cell. My ideas of
ICgypt's ' amorous queen being founded on
such a model , I cle.irly saw what overv ac
tress j has foil , that Snakdpearo's Cloopatr.i
was unavailable for thost.igo. She Is n virago
and a heroine.at one moment full of caprice , at
the ' next ollering her life as a sacrifice. Hur
sincerity . is doubtful at timesher love often
brutal. The actions who would essay such a
paitmust be a soubrette aud premiere , a
] tragedienne and comedienne at onco. She
could leave no distinct impression , she could
delmiatc no clear outlines worthy of locogni-
lion. I have rather choseu Sardou's crea
tion , because while all the entirety of Cleo
patra's character is preserved In it , she is
consistent ever in her love for Antony. She
makes It "her woman's shame , but her
woman's glory , " and as Her last request on
cartli asks that her body may bo so preserved
that the decay of de.ith may not reach it , in
the hope that Antony , seeing it , might still
find Intact the beauty that enthralled
him. Who shall say which of the
two playwrights had the better con
ception of Cleopatra. Snakespearo , at the
dawn of English literature , with nothing but
Latin precedent upon which to found his
model , or Sardou , in theglaro of the present
century , with steam , telegraphy nud modern
resources , exhausting auelont research i
Shakespeare had no idea of the size of Cleo
patra. Sardou , like myself , has gazed upon
her mummy preserved In the British
museum.
TfllVIVO TO TUB OIIII , .
And now I turn to tno girl in the freshness
of her youth , with all her life before her ,
nbout to embrace the stage and seeking sorno
advice for her guidance. Mv flrstquostion to
you Is : What nro your aims nnd expecta
tionsf Lot me bo plainspoken to you. If
you hive a good voice nnd figure and a share
of quick perception and see in the stage only
tbo opportunity of u lazy life , with more sal
ary than you can earn in any other walk of
life , become at once a professional and you
will attain to all you hope for. You will
have tbo knowledgothat you ore contributing
your pooi1 share to the debasement of a most
noble profession. While your yoath lasts
you will bo enabled to pander to your
caprices. When old ago comes not the old
age of legitimate time , but the few
years of your doubtful usefulness , misery
and poverty will como , and what will become
of you ! I do not v/ish hero to raise
the curtain disclosing the condition
of life of thousands of women , who prostitute
art to their selfishness , such us you wish to
do. Retribution follows crime as unerringly
as the day the night. I dismiss this class of
stage aspirations as unworthy of notice , and
turn to the girl whoso ambitions are honest ,
whoso love of dramatic art is real for the art's
sake. She must have talents , but the pos
session of them is not tbo first question I
would usk ns the condition precedent to her
success. Hather , is your strength of charac
ter test-proof against temptation * And un
derstand by this question I do not impute im
morality to the stage per so. I state that my
long experience warrants , that its allure
ments to temptation are greater than in any
other walk of llfo ; consequently the glory to
the woman who resists them. Your recluse
In the desert who Is virtuous because igno
rant of temptation Is a drivelling Your cold
temperaments , Joy In their honor because ab
normal In their creation , nro creatures not
worthy of emulation ; but the actress , proud
of her calling , a lover of her art , who scores
her triumphs by her merits , and whom no
seductive llattcry can win away from her art
love such n woman Is a heroine.
AXOTIIKll WOKtl.
The combination system leads mo to offer
another word , not of discouragement God
forbid to tbo hinoat , ambitious beginner on
tbe stage , but rather to lay bolero her the
real discomforts of the IIfo she is choosing.
The necessities of tbo combination system
render quick appearances in different cities
from Maine to California necessary. The
adjuncts of those qutcx changes are inces
sant railroad travel , with all Its discomforts ,
changes of climate and diet , changes from
dressing-room to slecplne-car at midnight ,
changes from comfortable hotel chambers
to the comfortless rooms of cheerless Inns.
And these chances are a trial of strength.
or temper ami or health. The conclusion Is
that , unless you have n strong and vigorous
constitution , your lot In vour chosen pro
fession will bo n nard ouo , at the expense of
health.
A celebrated musician once said that the
constant practice of the scales for two years
without any other musical effort should war
rant the ability to slug any piece of music.
So with you. Years of practice in the lowly
roles which you will Mil should warrant you
in aspiring to n higher character. This
higher character will como to you with oppor
tunity ; it mav bo an understudy of some ono
else , but it will come , und then your efforts
of study will bo rococnliod. Your move
ments from the result of this opportunity will
b . ' as rapid as your progress before was'slow
and vour flight upward afterward will bo
rapid.
This , tn brief , Is the secret of dramatic suc
cess. Dornoslhenci replied , when asked the
thrco requirements of oratory ! "Action1
action ! action" ' I
say to the aspiring ac
tress with honest ambition : Study , study ,
study. Your fluid N broad , your triumph's
grand , and in all spheres of woman's useful
ness. 1 know no grander hfo than that of nn
actress. Approach the temple of art with
these feelings nnd these resolves , como toll
with clean hands , and a clean lifo. and rest
assured that in the long run you will attain
to all your aspirations conceived of , nnd all
your ambitious hoped for , and In the days of
vour triumphs romcmlw mo truly if 1 have
boon the means in any way of contributing
to the success J wish you.

Imt ThcosophlsU Sny of Mine. Uln-
vntsky-iller Ijlfo.
Tbo intelligence of the death of Mme.
niavatsky was received'with regret by tho-
isophlsts. There are few of them In Omaha ,
, nd of course like the rest of the followers of
his peculiar belief In America nud Knglutid ,
hey have looked up to the Husslan woman
as the aircnt through whom they could com
municate with the Huddhlst masters of India.
Ouo of tbo prominent local thcosoptilsts
restorday explained why it was that MILO ,
IJlavatsky's friends lot thrco weeks pass
after the cremation at Welting before thev
sent out the news of the death to the world.
This is bis explanation
1tl "When a person dies the monad which Is
tlb ho name we have for the three higher attri
butes of tbo being , the dlvlno spark , tlio
spiritual soul which is tbo vehicle of the tli-
vine spark , and the intellect or manas U
slowly released from the biscr mass , taking
from that mass whatever is good nnd pure
nnd worth taking away The disunion does
not occur at onco. It may take a whole day
during which the person Is not wholly un
conscious of occurrences on this plane.
IJellef iu this was the origin of
the common practice of 'sitting up
witb the dead' and the knowledge
that the person knows what Is said or done
nbout him cvon after the spirit bus ap
parently tied was the cause In the beginning
of the necessity for seemly conduct nt the
cofllu side. Mme. Hlavntsky has been in my
recollection twice called back from that
transitionarv stage by a certain power in
order that she might finish her great work.
When I hoard that the third volume was in
the hands of the printer and that the fourth
was nearly ready in manuscript I know that ,
the oid laly's work being done , tier monad
might be expected to wing its flight , and I
was not surprised nt today's announcement.
"But to explain further the reason for
withholding the report Besides the stage of
separating I have mentioned there Is also a
period , long or short , as the person was
highly developed spiritually or uot , in which
the monad rests In the astral sphere , where
it is susceptible of human influences , rsow ,
you know , a thought whether hateful or
pleasant Is not lost ; It is Intangible on our
piano , but iu the astral it becomes a
form and has power , Now Mme. Hla-
vatsky had many powerful ene
mies In this country , und If they
Itrew she was dead while vbo was In the
astral sphere their ill thoughts and hatred
might bo powerlul to work her discomfort
till her monad started for Dovachan , where
it is beyond the reach of human malice.
Madam , being highly developed spiritually ,
would not have long to stay In the astral , and ,
three weeks having passed since her death ,
it is safe to believe that her monad has gone
beyond the power at our enemies. "
"Do you believe she will bo reincarnated ! "
"I certainly do. 1 do not think she will
stay in Devachan , but that her monad will
again ur.tor som3 nuuian form. The madam
is entitled to a long rest Sbo has been n
sufferer for ten years from a dropsical af
fection and I am glad her spirit has cast off
the painful shell. "
The materialist would say this Is the end
of Mme. Blavat'ky. The orthodox would
have serious doubts as to her future con
dition. These not versed in the triad and
quartornary of man or the astral appearance
nnd In the usefulness of Mnhatmas ,
who are teachers but never teach ,
confining themselver to the uninteresting
Himalayan plateaus , will probably regard the
whole thing as bosh. Xbu faithful , however ,
will not grieve , for by their doctrine the
madam may not disappear in tbe solaces of

From the tboosopliical point of view ,
however. It would bo unsafe to say that
Mme. lllavatsky will como back as Mine.
IIlavatsKy. She may bo a man next time.
She may be ono of those venerable do-nothing
mummies of the Himalayan plato.au. She
may bo neither man nor woman next tlmo , if
some of her habits in this incarnation hnvo
been correctly described , for each life shows
thunext incarnation by its own actions.
A Item irknblo Career.
Helena Potrovinu Hahn , whoso doatn is
announced , was born in Ekateriuslow , in
South Russia , in IS'Jl. In 184S she was mar
ried at the airo of snventeeu , to General Bla-
vatsky , whose age was placed bv the bride s
people at various states of senility ranging
from lifty to seventy years. She did not live
but thruo months with the general , and those
three months were full of the most exciting
domestic storms. Af.fr three months of
wrangling , she ono day escaped und went
to Constantinople. At this point her wan
derings began. The tender , fragile bride of
17 became the elephantine Mruo. Blavatsky ,
of theosophlcnl notoriety. Mme. Ulavatskv
came to America in 187.5 , taklug out her nat
uralization papers a short time after landing.
In 1S71 she began the series of manifesta
tions that made her world famous. In
that year , too , tue Theosophlcal society was
founded , of which Colonel Olcott , whom
Mme. Blavatsky had met with tbo Eddys nnd
others at a Vermont farmhouse , was made
the president. Madame Blavutsky was enor
mous in size and weighed moro than IliX )
pounds. Shorarnly went out of the house ,
as it taxed her strength too greatly. Sh <
uover was addicted to tuo use o :
alcoholic liquors , but was nn Inces
saut smoker and at times experienced
great difficulty in refraining from the prac <
tice long enough to deliver u lecture. She
could swear iu all languages , but there was
n certain novelty and polish about her swear
ing that destroyed much of the unpleasant
impression it made at first on poisons who
made her acquaintance. She were tbo con
ventional nttlro of her sex usually , but her
fancy was oriental In the matter of materials
from America she wont to India to plant
the Theosophlcal society in that soil , and dur
ing the long years spent there with Colonel
Olcott , at Madras and elsewhere , gave ninny
manifestations of tbe power of the mysteri
ous occult master , of whom she was the visl
bio agent. These manifestations consisted ol
tin ) sudden appearance of letters in all sorts
of places containing immodute written an-
Myers to mental questions of different per
sons ; of gold letters nnd shining characters
bursting forth from the walls ; of the tlylne
of articles through space tc Mmo. Blavalskv's
hands , nnd all the other phenomena which
have made her name famous and her power
inyitery. She returned to Europe in lS
and then followed the exposure by the Coulo
tuna nml thn KrtMntt- 1'svphlr'nl IfpQnrit
Before this , however , Mmo. Blavatsky made
many converts In London , 1'aris and in portions
tions of Oormany. A peculiarity of Mmo.
Blavatsky was her dislike of meat as nn oil-
We. Sha revolted \U the English taste for
rare beef , though it was Impossible to resist
the impression that she did so largely on ac
count of her violent Anglopbobia. Among
the persons who beenrno converts to her re
markable theories and doctrines was Mrs.
Annlo Besant , who ortmfc to tins country from
London u short time ago. She delivered sev
eral lectures on theosotrtiy , the last being la
Tuesday. During the lecture Mrs Besant
suddenly remarked * " ! have received a
message from Mme Balvatsky and will ru-
turn to England. " Wednesday she took passage -
sago on the steamship City of Chicago , sail
ing the same day. U is not Known whether
she had previously hoard of the death of
Mine. Blavatsky or whether she had Just
learned the news. Spnio persons present at
the lecture thought Mrs. Bosant made the
remark for effect , but.lt would appear now
that sno had Just 1 turned of her friend's
death.
Mamma ( to her little boy ) Now , Bonnie ,
If you ° ll bo good and go to sleep , mamma Ml
give you ono of Dr. Aycr's nice sugar-coalod
Cathartic Pills next time you need modi-cine.
Bciinic , smiling sweetly , dropped off to
sleep at ouce.
