advnnciJ snlo of sb.its for Surnh Horn
fiardt'fl engagement In "La Tosca" assuroi n
lorco audience , and it is qulto certain that n
great , majority of Us member * will not uniicr
ntand the tines of the play. Tbo inomboM of
tbo company are all French nnd no KngHsl ]
Is Rpokon during the porformanco.
While it Is true that BcrnharJt's acting Is
ol Itsolt t treat to many , it can bo rrmdo com-
prchonslblo and enjoyable to most all If tho.v
will prepare themselves by learning the
Btory of the play. "La Tosca" Is ono ol
those dramas in which much of Importance
Is told In the lines that cannot be gathered
from the action upon the stage. Following
Is an outline of tno story that may bo nb-
Horbcd In advanca or cut out and used in
place of the books generally sold at the
theater.
Fiona Ln To : < ca Is a popular Italian prinn
donna. She wns n llttlo savugo picked up in
the fields by some licncJIctluo monks , who
taught bor to read and to uray. The old or-
ennist ol the convent found that she had n
volro and she prolltcd so wall by his lesson :
that at 111 she sang In tbochurch The great
composer , Ctmarosn. heard her and took It
Into his head to rob the church anil benefit
the theater by hrlnglne the Tosca out as a
nrlnm donna. The church objected , nnd tbu
discussion crow so hot that the matter was
transferred to his ho'.liioss. the popo. The
vicar of heaven had her before him. She
Bang , nnd tapping her on the chock he
said :
"Go In peace , my daughter. You will
often ether hearts as you have softened
mine. You will cause sweet , tears to flow ,
and that is ono kind of prayer. "
At the time of the opening of the piny La
Tosi-annd Marie Cavardos\l , a young Roman
of noble birth and an artist , are lovors.
The 11 wt act shows the church of St.
Anrtrow in Home , which is being redecoraloJ
by order of the Jesuit fathers. The work is
being done by Marie , who had become tlngod
with the liberalism of Voltalro nnd Hossoau
during bis student career in Paris. In order
to disarm the suspicions of the nhurchly
powers and remain In Homo without danger
hooffyred to fresco St. Andrew without
churco.
While Marie is nt work n ragged , omaciatnd
figure appears behind tbo lattice ot a shrlno.
It proves to bo ( Jacsar Angolottl , a republi
can prisoner who had escaped from the castle
of St. Angolo. Tne men swear fttendshlp ,
Marie feeds the famished Instructor und
Angelottl explains his prosonca. His sister
smuggled a bundle of female clothing through
n turnkey to his roll. After ho had donned tha
disguise the keeper lot him out of
the cell to mlnglo among worlrmau
who were repairing the prison , and ho made
his way to the church. Angolottl then tolls
the story of his life. Twenty years before
ho was loading n wild 11 fo In London and had
a short Infatuation for a pretty adventuress.
Ho afterwards mot and recognized bor at n
dinner in Italy as the wife of the British am
bassador to the court of Naplcv She appar
ently determined to got him out of the way.
Ton days after that fatal dinner Angcllot-
tl's library was searched , and tbo police
found a copy of Voltalro , which had been
placed tboro without his knowledge. Ho
was sentenced to tbroo years in the galleys ,
and on his return to Rome , a ruined man , he
found n spy on his track in the person of the
chief of police , Scarpia , who succeeded in
having him arrested on the charge of being a
republican.
Marie then tells of his love for La Toscn
nnd relates the story of her Ufa. A knock is
hoard and Angelotti is conccnlod. La Tosca
enters and enacts n oretty love scene with
Marie , but she goes into a fit of jealous rage
over a beautiful face that ho Is painting. The
singer Is celled by her maid to a rehearsal ,
nnd a loving parting follows.
Marie nnd Angolotli agroa on a place ol
meeting cutsido the church. The "fugitive
retires to cut off his moustache nnd resume
his dlsgulso. A cannon shot is heard ; the
signal that a prisoner has escaped. As Marie
is leaving the church Scarpia enters In pur
suit of the fugitive. Ho finds tbo cast ofl
clothing of Angelottl and tbo hairs of his
moustache. In gratitude for tbo discover }
Scarpia and his men prostrate thonuolvcs
before tbo Madonna , and the first act closes
with the singing of the To Dejra.
In the second act the curtain rises upon r
company of nobles at n palace. Queen Marie
Carolina enters , followed by La Tosco , caus
ing something of a commotion. In a conver
sation on the side the queen urges Scarpia tc
find Ancolottl.
Scarnln engages Ln Tosca in conversation
In tbo hope of getting her to betray the
r whereabouts of Marie , through whom ho ex
pects to 11 nd Angolottl.
He excites her Jealousy bv exhibiting a fou
dropped hy AugeloVi in the church. Sue
attempts to leave -Jio palace In n fury , but
Scarpia detains her nnd flislsts that she shall
first do ber duty by singing for the enter
tainment oT the company. Just as she is
ready to begin tbo queen receives a telegram
which BUO proceeds to read because she be-
Jlevos It contains news of a victory over
Napoleon. It tells of defeat , however , and
tbo queen faints. In the confusion La Tosca
escapes with the expectation of surprising
bcr lover in an act of faithlessness. Scat-pin
follows her.
Act third opens In a quaint villa neat
Rome with Marie and Angelottl engaged in
conversation. Marie proposes to hide his
a ompanlon In n secret chamber leading from
a well In the garden. Tbo sound of a closing
door Is heard. Angolottl retires and La
Tosca rushes In llko a oyclono. Tbo sight of
tbo female clothing put off by tbu fugitive
sends her Into another frenzy , and Marie
has to tell her all about Angolottl in order to
calm her. La Tosca tbcirsbowcrs bor lever
with kisses and tears.
fc-carpia and his inon knock at tbo door and
Angelotti Is forced to hide In the well. The
chief of police orders Marie taken to an ad
joining room , whore ho is put to the torture ,
but without revealing his iriond's biding
placo. Scarpia tries to extort a confession
from La Tosca , but in vnln , until she hears
hnr lover's groans and Is told ot his torture.
Then she crlos'frantlcally :
' Tboro In the garden In the well. "
The police bring in An olottl dead.
Marie , pile and bloody , falls fainting on tbo
blor of his friend.
' Tnko them away , " says Scarpia ; "ono to
the grave , the other to thoncaffold. "
In the fourth act La Tosca Is brought before
fore Scarpia , seated nt supper In tbo castle
of St. Angolo. Ho shows nor from the win
dow the scaffold upon which her lever Is to
bo hanged. Ho lulls of his passion for her
and offers to save her lovet.'s ' life if she will
submit to his desires. After a long struggle
La Tosca consents.
Scarpia pronosos to have Marie shot at
with blank cartrlases. The condemned man
is to fall as If dead and bo earned off , when
he will bo allowed to escape. The officer of
the guard receives bis Instructions nnd de
part * .
Scarpia demands his reward from La
Tosca. She Insists on his llrst writing a pass
giving her a safe conduct. As bo rises from
the table she kills him with a stlllotto and
doparU to save tier lovor.
In the llftb act La Tosca bus a short inter
view with Marie and explains tbo schema fet
bli rescue , The prisoner is led forth by the
guard and La Toson rotlres to await the vol
ley of tbo guns , the sltrnal for her to come
forth ana make her escape with ber lever ,
The guns speak. She rushes forth and
bendi over Maria to tell him the coast la
clear , but there is no response. Marie i-

And then La Tosca kills herself.
Mr. Thomas Orr , now assistant to Genera
Manager Clartt of tbo Union Pacific railway
'was a resident of the City of Mexico twc
y ars ago , and is reminded by Madatno A do-
llona Paul's presence in the west of an inter-
caving Incident in ber second visit to Moxlc <
during January , 1600 ,
"Her engagement at that time , " said Mr
Orr In rolatlnir tbo Incident , "was under tbi
patronage of the Jocuoy club , and a stlntoc
distribution of complimentary tickets to tin
press had rngenderod so much bad fuellnf
tbnt the representatives of tbo Spanisl
papers agreed tn do all iu their power U
make It a losing venture for the club. Twi
of the leadlnir papers , with this und in view ,
-cougbt to uruato u prejudice by relating , li
substance , that while In Now York , prior te
her first appearance In Mexico , 1'uttl mot r
distinguished lady of the republic , whc
nsked her why It was she never came te
Mexico.
1 "What , " sold 1'attl , tni * for these bar
barlansl Moverl'
"The lady remarked :
" Why , 1 nm a Mexican by birth. Do 1
look llko n barbarian ! '
" To this Paul replied !
" 'Oh , well , with you It is different ; you
nrn educated and have travelled.1
' The article concluded by saying that the
lady from Mexico was none ether thnn Mrs.
Din * , wife of the provident. This story ,
having no foundation In fact , so incensed
President Ditu that the editors ot botb
papers wore arrested nnd imprisoned.
"Tlioy were subsequently rolo.isod on pro-
mlso of n retraction in full and a public
apology , which was made.
"Paul , to further avert any 111 fooling 01
misunderstanding that might hrlso from this
malicious nrtlclo mil In tostlmonyof her good
will anil nffoctlon for tbo Mexican people ,
toudorcu hcrMiaro of the receipts for one
night ns a contribution to the two principal
mid most tnprthy charities of Mexico , ol
which Mrs. tiax ) was the patroness. Hot
generous offer was accepted , nnd the night
of her fourth appearance designated for the
occasion , Pattl deciding to glvo her favorite
opera , 'Tho Barber of Seville. "
' 'The entire Interior of the theater was-
decorated with Mowers , and presented a gor
genus sight with its boxes from the door to
tbo dome filled with the beauty nnd fiv > hlou
of Mexico. PresldentDlaz , hta cabinet , gov
ernors of the .states and mom bars of the le
gations with their families were present.
"Pnttl wns In excellent volco nnd fairly
bewitching ns Koslnl , After ono of her snlos ,
near the close of tbo Ilfst ant , appreciation
was mnnlfoHtnd bv n perfect shower of
llowora , singly and In bunches , from the
boxes und narmiotto , m addition to which
baskets nnd boquots were handed over thu
footlights until poor PatM. fairly exhausted
bv her efforts to gather and place them about
the stage , said very sweetly , In English ,
oh , no more , no more. '
"Although overwhelmed with these trlb-
utosln the llrst net , the second net produced
a torrent , Again the boquots , bunches ol
violets and loose flowers ot every variety
poured upon the stage. Floral devices ,
numerous anil of every description , weru
also presented , some of them being so large
that It was necessary to carry them In from
the wings. There were two beautifully
constructed boquots of Immense size , each
requiring two men to take it upon the stage.
Paul , seemingly , was much affected. The
applause became uncontrollable nnd could
only bo acknowledged by graceful courtesies ,
' In the third and last act the tloral tokens
were again abundant , nnd ns tha curtain wout
down at the close tbo audience remained
standing , without any demonstration. A
military band stationed in the foyer , how-
"vor. struck up the national air. Paul un
derstood it. Immediately tbo curtain wont
up , and ns she appeared there was on out
burst of npplauso full of warmth and vigor
for the diva. Pattl responded by throwing
kisses to her audience with both hands as
only Pntti can. The bond continued to ploy ,
the curtain wont up nnd down half u dozen
times with moro kisses from Pnttl bcforo the
audience were content to leave.
"Altogether it as a grand performance
nnd a most beautiful sight to witness , nnd ,
as remarked by a well informed mitt promi
nent citizen of the Republic , no ono over before
fore recoivcd such cordial treatment in
Mexico. " „

When Theodore Thomas left Now Yorli
nnd all its Musical surroundings to mnko his
homo in Chicago ho gnvo the rolling wave of
musioan impetus westward. That Omaha
has received a great bouollt from Its ( lowing
tide , Is easily demonstrated by the many
musical events which have taken place dar
ing the present season. Miss Noally Stevens'
rocitnl was the initial event in the line of
pianoforte sslo work , and utter her depart
ure. Frauleln Aus Bar Oho delighted the
musically inclined ; then Scbarwonka , tnc
great composer and pianist , whoso works are
known and valued by musicians everywhere.
It Is a trial to bo obliged to forego the pleas
ure of hearing the celenratod artiste , Pada-
rowski , but It is n consolation to know that
everything possible was done to induce his.
Another disappointment is experienced iu
the refusal of Mine. Adollna Pjttt's manager
to allow her to appear in tnc
coliseum. While the coliseum is
very nppropriato for an exposition ,
n fair , or n tug-of-war , it is scarcely desirable
as n concert hall. The citizens of Omaha are
sanguine in tboir hopes that In the neai
ftituro they can boast , of n first-class music
hull with n seating capacity of 4,000 or 5,000 ,
an auditorium in which to produce oratorios
und give recitals and concerts without the
the absolute necessity of raising prices to an
exorbitant rate in order to provide soatinc
capacity. With the support of the Apollc
club , the Ladies' Musical society and othoi
organizations , first rate attractions cnuld be
secured , and such a building should bo made
to pay.
Mile. Ohrstrom attracted quite a large
audience at Washington hall on Wednesday
evening. She is ono of these natural born
musicians sometimes mot with , and has n
pleasing voice of good quality and sweetness.
Mr. Abdlll , formerly with 'Emma Abbott's
company , made a good impression as tenor
soloistMr. . J. D. Balfo contributed the
busso work aud bis solo was well received.
The Ariel Quartette of Boston nmdo a hit
In the concert on Thursday evening at the
Youhg Men's Christian association boll.
Tbo room was crowded and n large number
of people were unable to procure seats. The
selections were well rendered and recalled
enthusiastically. The quartette Is composed
of excellent material and their work is decid
edly meritorious. Tbo voloos have been
well trained aud the perfect time and shad
ing show that they have had long practice
together. The inside parts , second soprano ,
and first , nlto are weak and they do not show
to as good advantage in their forte passages
as in tboir pinnlsslmos.
At the sociable and reception In connootion
with Trinity cathedral on Monday evening ,
the Philomela Lad IB' quartette , and tbo Temple -
plo quartette both of Omaha , were represent
ed. The former sang Schilling's arrange
ment ot "Tho Blue Bolls of Scotland , " and
the latter Durloy Buck's composition "In
Absence. " The Temple quartette Is made
up of excellent material having Mcssrs. Van
Kuran and Treat on tnnor nnd Messrs. ,100
Barton end W. A. Derrick on the bass.
Wlthn llttlo moro careful practice In tempo ,
they will make a successful combination. It
Is rather unpleasant to see ono member of a
quartette boat time for tbo others with his
music. Miss Clara Clarkson's sweet , clear
voleo was heard In Kevin's delightful solo ,
"Ono Spring Morning , " and Mr. Derrick
sang "It Was Not Thus to Bo , " In his usual
styjo. His volco shows signs of study ana
improvement. Mrs. McCormick and Mrs.
Matbewson contributed elocutionary num.
bers , which were warmly received.
In the prettiest little church hi thn city ,
the Church of St. Matthias , corner Tenth
und Worthlngton streets , is n boy choir
"
which deserves mention. Tbo music"of this
choir is not of that elaborate character which
attracts the attention of the average critic.
Tbo service , under the direction of Hov.
Alexander MacNabb , Is very plum nnd In Its
filmpliclty is crowned with success. The
quality of the boys' voices Is sweeter than
U usually found in such choirs , nnd tboy
are supported by a competent and mu-
slclanly quartette of men. The original
choir was organized by Mrs. J. W. Cotton
and for over two years they huvo boon under
the skillful und patient tuition of MUs Jessie
Johns. This young lady's success has boon
very markod. In addition to her work of di
recting , she nlso presides at the pipe organ ,
and her talent U equalled only by bor energy.
Mrs. Martin Cuhn. who has for some time
past , owing to delicate health , been obliged
to discontinue singing In public , is about to
appear once moro In solo work. Her volco ol
dramatic power end pleasant quality , U sure
to attract many to the First Methodist KpU-
copul church , where she has been perma
nently engaged. She is supported by Mlsa
M , Elizabeth Amsdon , whoso contralto voice
is already favorite , tbe well known tenor ,
Mr. Ralph Brockonrldgo and Mr. Luclcn B ,
Copeland , who has boon board before , and
ahyays appreciated. .
It has now boon decided that Padorowskl
cannot come west , uud there arq no musical
engagements of note until tbo production ol
the "Elijah" by tbo Apollo club in May , It
U understood that Theodore Thomas nnO
orchestra can make a date If some organiza
tion will take the mutter up und push II
through , It U sure to pay. Tbe Apollo clut
has enough on iu hands at present to glvt
this great oratorio of Mendelssohn's ' ns it
should bo given.

Tbo box sale will open Thursday , March 'I ,
ot which time tlioso hotdlnir tickets may ex
change thorn for reserved seats. You want
to boar Bill Nvo nnd BurbanK ; tlioy are a
great team and are making an immense hit
throughout the country.
On the last three ovcnlngs of this week
Omaba theater goora will bo treated to a sea
son of four llnuontortalnmonts , and if Omaha
Is not nn exception they will provo society
ovonts. Tha occasions will bo tbo advent of
Mr. nnd Mrs. Sidney Drew In two pretty
comodlos , "Barbara" and "That Girl from
Mexico " Those people coino bv their stngo
ability naturally , Mr. Drew being n son of
Mrs. John Crow , ant ! Ills wlfo u daughter of
Mr. McICeo Rankln. The following Is from
the Minneapolis Tribune of rooont date :
Mr. and Mrs. Kidney Drew will close tboir
all too brief visit at the Urand with a matinee
and ovonluc performance today. The enter
tainment afforded by these two mists and
tholr capable company is rofroshinirlv bright.
Tbo curtain raiser , entitled "Barbara , " thn
work ot Jerome K. Jerome , Is u simple
story , delicately and poetically told and
churmlugly actod. The path'olia scene at the
close Is very effecting , but it loaves ono In
lust thn frame of mind to enjoy the brisk
farce which follows. Every member of tbo
company Is entitled to emphatic nraiso for in
telligent and conscientious effort manifested
throughout. Through madvurtnnco , the
Tribune omitted In its regular notice of the
performance , to mention tno good work done
by Harry Brown , wboso impersonation of the
pestered father ot "that girl from Mexico. ' ,
contributed much to the enjoyment of the
performance. Mrs. Drew is a charming
actress who rivets attention every moment
shn is on the stage , bldnpy Draw is a hu
morist as well us a comcc'ian. a fact revealed
by tbo peculiar unction and subtle intonations
of the volco and oxpresslous of tbo face ,
which accompany certain speeches.
Commencing today nt the Farnnm Street
theatre the John L. Sullivan und Duncan B.
Harrison company will appear for Tour
nights and Wednesday mntlnoo. Of this
brilliant combination the New York Mail
and Kxpruss said : Tbe mnnajomont of
Niblo's Garden this week offer an unusual
attraction in the person of that Modern
Hercules , John L. bulllvan , the foremost
specimen of physical manhood of his time , or
for that matter of any time or clime.
Wbon Mr. Sullivan resolved to court fate
and become an actor , ho did so with grave
misgivings us to his abilities to master his
newly chosen profession.
Like all n-utily inon , good-hearted John is
excessively modest. Tbo experience of the
past two weeks has proven , however , be
yond all cavil , that the big fellow made no
mistake when ho elected to quit tno prize
ring forever , and seek for now laurels ns a
knight of the sock and buskin. So far , John
L. Sullivan's success has been as phenomenal
as it bus been well deserved.
Tbo plav which has boon selected to intro
duce the star is "Honest Hearts and Willing
Hands , " from the pen of that popular young
American playwright , Duncan B. Harrison ,
and is said to uo a work of merit nnd intense
Interest. It Is in five acts and Is replete with
putbcs and thrilling" .situations , Inierspcrsod
with n bright and unctuously happy vein of
coined v , which makes it thoroughly on joyablo
and holds tbo hudleuco until the curtain rings
down on tbo lust act.
The attraction draws nil classes ot the com
munity , thu auditorium being nightly tilled
with the boat citizens , who , by tboir applause
and curtain calls at the end of ovury act ,
vote Messrs. Sullivan and Harrison anil their
company un unquallllcd auucess.
Speaking of the company , it scorns to bo an
excellent ono , having been selected with u
view to the requirements of each and every
part to bu assumed. Tbo scenery , of which u
carload is carried , is very handsome , some of
it striking to-wit , the Glen of Balla , with
hugo ivy-clad rocks and chasms , and the ex
terior of tbo quaint monastery of St. Ignatius
iu the foreground.
During tbo progress of the tlfth act the
play affords an upportunlty for Mr. Sullivan
to display his tlstlo skill and agility , which
have earned for him tbo proud tltlo'of cham
pion of creation. In tills soanco ho Is assisted
oy Mr. Jack Ashton , who is second only to
the great big follow ,
The incidental music is plentiful and said
to bo attractive , tbe singing of the quartette
being noticeable.
On next Sunday evening Hanlon brothers'
great spectacle , "Fantusma , " will open an
engagement of eight nighta and two matinees
at Boyd's Now thontor. "Fnntasnin" Is nno
of the largest attractions ot the kind on the
road. Mr. Samuel Fletcher Is In the city
preparing for the coming of the great show.
That roaring farce-comody , "A Cold Day , "
will un thu attraction nt the Farnam Street
theater Fnbrimry S3 , lid and 'J7. The cast in
cludes Perkins I ) . Fisher , the Inimitable
comedian , nti'l thu pretty , vivacious Carlottn ,

lady and as Hprlgluly as a kitten. Stio

favor whan she appeared hero lust sua < ou.
The Boston Herald uys of a recent produc
tion : "The Howard Athontcum presented
an amusing and by no moans unclovor hit of
nonsense In "A Cold Bay , or the Lapland
ers. " The pleca is crammed full o ( enter
tainment of a varloii description , and was
placed nu the stage with much effectiveness
in the way of snonory. The company engaged -
gaged in its performance was un excellent
ono and contained considerable talent In a

Clara Louise Kellopg in a recent letter
made this interesting contribution tohlstorv :
"It has been said that I am responsible for
Emma Abbott's career upon the opuratlc
stage. It Is not my wish to speak harshly of
her , now that she is no moro , but 1 may bo
p-irdoned if I deny thu allegation. The ilrst
time I saw Emma Abbott was In Toledo in
T.80U , where I was singing in opera. She was
poorly clad nnd was going about playing a
guitar nnd singing. Har poverty aud her desire -
sire to got on naturally appealed to me , und 1
was instrumental in raising a subscription
for bor so she could como oast. She asked
mo franklv if I thought she could mnko her
living by her voice , und I said yes. My idea
was that she intended to sing in churches ,
and I bollovo she did when sbo came to New
York. She was then 19 years old , which
would have made her about 43 at the time of
her death , although her nee was given ns 30.
Never at any time a lyrical artist , she pos
sessed a tireless energy , and succeeded bv it
alone. "

Sorosts , a society of bright Now York
women , nro discussing the problem "How to
Manage a Husband. " A Now Yorir. paper
offered a money prize to the best answer to
ttio mooted question , the decision to bo miuio
by thii president of Sorosis. The
prize was awarded to Grctchoc Frey ,
a Brooklyn miss of IS , and this is the way
she would inunago n husoand if she had ana :
' "There is no need of ' 'management" whore
love exists , and where there is no love all the
management in the world would affect noth
ing. Man expects happiness in liis homo
life , and the loving wife knows well how to
supply tbat luxury , not by artillce , but by
honest , open and womanly methods , Sbo
need not tell him of her potty trials , because
bo will discover thorn of bis own accord and
share them willingly. No slave to him should
she be anil a true man would not allow it
but a true wlfo sharing his pleasures , taking
pndo in hi * advancement , soothing him in
sorrow and giving him the warmth and
kind rod lovinc fellowship for which ho
sought her. When disputes arise she should ,
if convinced of right , maintain her point , for
whan the argument has passed the husband
will respect her all the more. Husband and
wife are grown too old to play children ID
schemes and artifice to maintain the mar.
rlage bond. Shame to tbo wife compelled to
"food , " wear bangs , frills nnd paint to bola
him. There should bo perfect frankness and
honesty , and the wife , to "manage" her bus-
baud , must first love him. "
