The marriage of Miss Julia Marlowo am
tor former leading man , Robert Tabcr , Ir
Philadelphia last week was the only tail
a curd In club circles , two or thrco Omalii
men having lost their hearts to the fall
roung actress. The Philadelphia Press ha :
this to say of the wedding :
Miss Julia Marlowe and Mr. Hobcrt Tabsi
rcro united In wedlock at high noon Mon
Jay In St. James' Presbyterian Eplscopa
ihnrcli , Twenty-second and Walnut streets
by Ilov. Joseph H , Illanchnrd , rector
assisted by Hev. Arnold II. Hard.
- . Miss Marlowo came over from New Yorl
' Monday morning and registered at the Sten
ton , where Mr. Taber had been stopping
'Klncc ' Saturday , The wedding party , whlcli
Included Mrs. Charles C. Taber , mother ol
the groom ; Mr. Tabcr , his brother ; Mr
Kvans , a friend ; Mr. and Mrs. Gcorgt
Woodward , and Mr. A. A.1 Diddle , were
driven to the church from the hotel. Mr
and Mrs. Talcott Williams and Mr. Vn\\t \ \
nf New York met the party at the church.
Miss Marlowo proceeded up the alslo on tin
nrni of Mr. Woodward , who gavcr her away
She were a gown of buff colored silk , will
n apray of ( lowers as a pattern. At tin
chancel she was met by Mr. Taber. Thi
ceremony of the Protestant Episcopal cliurcl
was then performed.
Mr. ami Mrs. Taber then returned td the
hotel , and breakfast wus served. In the
afternoon they left for New York. Tin
first two weeks , and possibly the entire
I Bummer , will be spent at the country place
r Df the groom's parents at Mount Mansfield
Stowe , Vt.
Mr. Taber was Miss Marlowe's leading
man In 1887 , when she made her debut Ir
New York , The play was "Twelfth Night , '
and Mr. Tuber played Duke Orslnl. He
, played In Miss Marlowe's company until last
' fall , when he became a member ot Hose
' 'Coghlan's company In the place of Mr.
'Charles Coghlan. The Incomings and out
goings of Charles led to Mr. Taber's retire
ment.
Miss Marlowe's family name Is Mlsc
Brougli. She Is 28 years old , and was born
In England , although she has resided In
this country since she was very young. She
concluded her last engagement of the season
In Washington on Saturday , and was pre
sented by her company with a diamond anil
pearl brooch , set In the form of a star.
A week ago the rumor of the marriage
first was heard. In admitting Its truth ,
Miss Marlowo said : "Mr. Taber Is ono ol
my oldest friends , and we have actually
grown up together In theatrical work. We
do not expect to retire from the stage ; on
the contrary , wo hope to be together In the
eamo company and In the love of work with
which , In a certain sense , wo have become
Identified. "
1 In all probability Mr. and Mrs. Taber will
lay together next season.
Nlnoty-Slx'n Concert.
Next year's Junior class at the High school
will surely ruin the building or else cause
It to fall down from Insecure walls , for the
i.ivhole class seems to vibrate wltb enthusi
asm. Another feature of the class Is Its ex
treme fealty to Its alma mater and the spirit
of class fraternity that pervades every
member. The concert given by the Class ot
Inety-SIx at the High school on Friday
afternoon was the first entertainment that
lias ever been given by any class In. the
High school , -with the exception ot the plays
' which have been repeated after their rendi
tion 'at a class social.
Ninety-Six's Banjo and Guitar club , com
posed of Messrs. Gsantncr , R , Connell , K.
Connell , Godso , Lyon and Prof Cummlngs ,
I' \vaa first on the program , and rendered the
? ' "Fairy Polka" In such a way as to win an
1. enthusiastic encore. A piano duet by Miss
Lovett and Miss Dcgraff followed , which was
characterized by great delicacy of touch and
.perfect unison. Mr. Anthony Gsantner Is an
artist of great ability and will bo an addition
to Omaha's musical Ufa If he decides to re
main here after leaving the High school. It
Is when performing on the zither that ho Is
most at homo and most popular. Mr. Gsant-
nor's two zither solos at Ninety-
nix's concerts showed no falling off
from that high standard which ho
lias raised for himself. Ho lias such a
delicate touch that fairies seem to bo waltzIng -
Ing on the strings. Miss Arnold's soprano
.ballad was favored with an encore by the
" 150 scholars and friends who were present.
i Prolonged applause followed the banjo solo
if by Prof. Cummlngs , with guitar accompanl-
rrnont by Mr. Wldenor. Mr. Gsanter's versa
tility was shown by -harmonica and
guitar solo , which met with a hearty re-
coptlon. The "Gcraldlne March" was per-
fformed by the Danjo and Guitar club , fol
lowed by Mlsa Balbach In a mandolin solo ,
played with consummate art. A piano solo
by Miss Tjaden commanded great applause
by Its brilliancy. Miss Dalbach and Mr.
Qsantner appeared In a delightful guitar
'duet and were followed by the String club
In the dashing piece called "Darkles Patrol. "
The members of the club are : Mandolins ,
Misses Dalbach , Goldsmith , Lowe ; banjos ,
v.MIss Sloan , Messrs Gsantner , R. "Connoll , K.
Connell ; guitars , Miss Morris , Messrs. Godso
and Lyon.
The proceeds of the entertainment will
J > s used In decorating' ' the room which
Ninety-Six will occupy during the coming
.school . year.
Tlio Omuliii OimrdH SurprUoit.
Undoubtedly the most enjoyable event In
the history of the Omaha Guards was the
surprlso tendered the company by the ladle *
of the corps last Decoration day. The com-
jf puny during the afternoon participated In
f the street parade In connection with the
Grand Army of the Republic exercises ,
anil later , at Hanscom park , were grouped
upon a shady bank and photographed. At
the conclusion of the Grand Army of the
Republic exercises , during which the com
pany fired thrco volleys , the ladles of the
Grand Army of the Republic presented the
captain with a handsome floral design. The
March to the armory was then taken up ,
which ended In a most delightful surprise.
As the member * filed Into the armory ,
, tired and hungry , the company's cheer suddenly -
, denly arose upon the air In a harmonious
treble , when some twenty ladles , who later
appeared us so many ministering divinities ,
were seen surrounding n. monstrous table
which fairly overflowed with all that could
tempt the palate , While two great Jars were
brimming with delicious Iced lemonade. U
took but a mlmitu to dismiss the company ,
the boys were invited to tmrround the table ,
whan the ladles did grateful uorvlce In
fairly overwhelming the hungry soldiers
with their smiles and good cheer. The
ladles , In turn , were feasted and waited
upon , when Homo ono struck up a wnltz on
the piano , another brought forth the per-
manunt program , when dancing was da-
clared the next thing In order. At about
this tlmo a photographer , opportunely pass-
Ing. was pressed Into service to photograph
tlm ladles In a group. The Guards , not to
bo entirely outdone. In turn prepared a sur
prise In promptly ordering two large hay
racks , whloh caijio lumbering to the door
to the strains of a postilion's horn. With
a inorry shout the remnants of the feast
were packed , not 'BO securely , Jiowuvor ,
but what the olives got sadly mixed up with
the hay , when n chaperone was placed upon
I each of the wagons , the young people fol-
' " * lawod and uway they went , a happy , rollickIng -
Ing crowd. A atop was made long enough
to purchase some four dozen tin horns , which
were Judiciously distributed amongst thoio
of lusty lung , and after that there wad a
noisy trail from Sixteenth street to Court-
land bench. Here the party took posicsslon ,
first ot the nwltch-bnck and then of the
merry-go ruund , until lunch was again sug
gested , when BO m a foraging was Indulged
In that would have done credit to an old
itager , Tired of this , the wagons were nguln
called and the homeward Journay begun ,
601110 well1 trained voices leading , the air
Was icon ringing wltb quaint old songs and
mtlodle * . Arriving at the armory n fe
, Ims'y ' dance * were Indulged In , farewell wi
said and the happy affair wan at An end.
The clmpcrones were Mr * . Colonel Mulfoi

Cotton. Miss Bishop , Mr. Wllklns and Mr.
Pennell , who , with the exception of Miss
B'shop. have furnished the music at the
synagogue for many years , singing through
three different administrations of rabbis.
The officer * of the tiyimgogue have for some
time desired a quartet that , having few other
engagements , could give them their exclu
sive services , \\hlch the outgoing quartet
could not do On account of their many en
gagements that were so mucn more remuner
ative. Consequently the change has been
made as noted. In consideration of Miss
Boulter's valuable services she was retained
as organist and was given permission to
select her own choir , which she has done
with good taste and judgment , the voices
being remarkably well balanced.

manner In which his works have been re

In accomplishing It. I compose works that
