nnd presumably Intellectual city of
Klmlra , N. Y. , .
" 'How do they appreelalo the drama In the
< weat7' Is a question. I am frequently asked
on my return from my annual tour , " sa a
Mr. Watdc. " 'Most thoroughly , ' I reply ,
nnd were I to lie further Interrogated as to
the form of the drama most popular In that
Bcctlon , I shoufd unhcsltitli > gly say : 'The
highest and best.1 The various and non
descript forms of entertainment that have
sprung Into existence In the last two decades ,
to the detriment of dramatic art awl the
degradation of the stage , nnd little en
couragement In the great end glorious west.
Varco comedy , pointless and Inane , mean
ingless melodrama , senseless sensation and
mere anatomical exhibitions to music are
not appreciated ; nor does the west take
kindly to the so-called problem plays-three
to five actH of mawkish sentimentality and
thinly veiled indecency , leaving the problem
as far from s.lutlon as ever. Wholesome
comedy , good mlnlstrelsy and high class
vaudeville arc freely patronized , but I have
found the style of dramatic entertainment
most liberally encouraged to bo the classic
nnd legitimate. I do not mean Shakespeare ,
Knowles and Lytton exclusive y , but the
sterling drama , sound nnd substantial , that
holds , as 'twere , the mlrrow up to nature
and shows 'virtue her own feature , scorn her
oraE for this Is evidenced by the
life and conditions of the people. The ma
jority are from the middle statca , from the
cast and from Europe , who have migrated
to the great west to better their fortunes
and to find a wider neld fen their energy and
enterprise. They have found there a tolcr-
nnce and a liberality hitherto unknown to
and helptu Incta
them , a mutual sympathy
that have brought forth the better qualities
ot their nature and developed a courage and
self-reliance essential to their existence In
their now surroundings. Their experience
has engendered an admiration for encrgctiu
end heroic ni'aliooJ and aroused a chlvalroua
and tender sentiment ot tatccm , respect and
( reverence for woman. They have endured
privations , suffered hardships , encountered
dangers , faced discouragements and finally
conquered , hence they have a sympathy for
the toil and struggles of others. They have
built cities on the plains , highways through
the mountains and made the desert to blos
som like a garden. They have a warm heart
lor a friend , a cordial greeting for a comrade
nnd a welcome for the stranger. Ja it not
natural , then , under such circumstances , that
they should seek for recreation In that form
of entertainment that holds up to emulation
the heroic qualities of manhood and nnd
pleasure In the presentation of plays that
illustrate the higher Impulse and nobler pas
sions ot the human heart and mind ?
"Many of the great actors of the world
have at various times visited the west and
have invariably met with a cordial und sym
pathetic receptbn. It Is a matter ot record
that Mr. Edwin Booth played the greatest
engagement ot his life in the city ot San
Francisco. Sir Henry Irvlng's tour of the
west a few years ago was an revelation to
that distinguished Englishman of the re
sources and liberality of the people , while
the old western stock companies have devel
oped and given us some of the niDst popular
"and accomplished actors wo possets. The
first theaters In this new country were , per
force , primitive In the extreme , and many
nrauslng stories might bo related of the early
attempts at dramatic performances , but now
there Is scarcely a city or town of any size
that cannot boast of a handsome theater or
opera house , while many ot them are so
costly and elaborate as to challenge favorable
blo comparison with our larger caotern
houses In artistic decoration , perfection ot
equipment and general accommodation.
"It must not for ono moment bo thought
that the people of the west are Ignorant ana
unread. Numbers of the leaders , as well as
the rank and nie ot western men , hall from
the universities of the cast , Harvard , Yale ,
Princeton , Columbia and others , and worth
ily uphold , the honor of their alma mater.
Others can look back to their old 'varsity
days on the classic hanks of the Isis and
the Cam , while many a brave boy still
keeps a 'tasto ' of the brogue on his
tongue and1 a love for the T. C. D. In his
heart. Universities acd colleges , with lib ;
oral public and private endowments , a're
to bo found in every state , and public , high
anil normal schools afford a thorough and
complete as well as n gratuitous educa
tion for the young on a system as perfect
as any In the world. Hence the c.tandard
of education and Intelligence Is high , and
In my oplnlrin fully equals that of the east.
Their reading , tooa \ of a superior and
substantial kind. The sterling works of
literature , both prcse and poetry , are far
more general than the paper-covered novels
of the day , and' ' the quality of their prows
equal to the Intelligence of the readers.
'As a matter of fact , the western press Is
remarkable for Its enterprise and complete
ness. Not only are the dally events chroni
cled therein , but the productions of plays In
New York are reported by telegraph the
following rnornlriK with exhaustive critical
comment , while their characters and' scenes
are Illustrated by accomplished artists In
the Sunday cdltlore. The great New York
newspapers arc on sale at the ' 'stands ami
dealers , as BOOH after publication as me
chanical science can carry them acrota the
continent , and monthly reviews and maga-
xlnes are found on every club table and In
the bookstores , so that the people are thor
oughly familiar , not ceily with the doings of
the entire civilized world , but alao with
Its thought and opinion.
"These are the conditions nnd character-
letlcs of the people In the great west , and
their recreations and amusements are In
keeping with their character. Thr o are the
people who have so long1 been loyal to the
legitimate drama , to the grind old plays of
Blmkcspouc , nulwcr and Knowles. who have
made themselves familiar with their workn
and nnd pleasure and satisfaction In their
ndcquato presentation. In the large cities

a well written and skillfully constructed

living In Florida , Is separated from his wife
through the scheming of Valdczin agent ot
the Spanish government who has known and
loved her previously. Vance Is tied to a pil
lar of his homo and the house set on flro.
He Is saved by friends , but his wife has dis

Two years later he appears In the Island of
Cuba as a volunteer under General Gomez.

BOSTON , Nov. 20. The Journal this mornIng -
Ing says : The Boston Journal addressed to
Secretary Gage under date of November lo
a letter embodying the following questions ,
which cover the points of detail on which
doubt as. to the secretary's plan In his con
tention for currency reform has been ex
pressed :
First. You put no limit of time In which
the secretary of the trenmiry shall sub
stitute Interest-bearing bonds for deposit
currency. Would It not be fair to make
some limit nnd not allow the banks to
teel thnt you could set the money In and
they get no Interest except the saving one-
half of 1 per cent tax ?
Second. When you say the government
shnll guarantee the payment of all cir
culating notes of the bank , do you mean
Immediate payment or ultimate payment ?
It would make quite a difference in
the treatment of the notes of any bank ,
whose credit became shaky which course
the government was going to take.
Third. We have alco heard It questioned
whether It wns wise to Invest the 2 per
cent guarantee fund held by the govern
ment In bonds , as they might fluctuate in
value , nnd it Is suggested taht It might
be safer to hold It In money.
Fourth. Ir : redemption fund of 5 per
cent to be counted by the banks as u part
of their legal reserve ? "
Secretary Gage replied :
I avail myself of the first leisure moment
to reply to yours of thei 13th Inst. , in which
you wish me to state more clearly some ot
the points In -recommendations. . I will
therefore say :
1. That It Is the purpose In mind to sub
stitute Interest-bearing bonds as security for
circulating notes , in substitution ot cur
rency previously deposited , as rapidly as the
Printing bureau can get them Issued and In
proper form. In fact the delay would be
very brief.
2. The Idea of requiring a deposit of cur
rency to beuln with Is to make sure thnt
there will be no contraction at all In this
operation. The money will go out as fast
na It comes In. The guarantee of the govern
ment I understand to mean a guarantee for
Immediate payment , not ultimate payment.
3. As to the Investment of the 2 per cent
guarantee funds , If Invested In government
bonds , I will say that If 2V4 per cent cold
bonds are Issued , "tho fluctuation will not be
violent unless the debt hereafter should be
wreutly Incicased , tind as the Investment
would probably be a growing sum , the risk
of a fall could bs enmly sustained by that
guarantee fund ,
4. The redemption fund of 5 per cent ( I
may conclude to recommend 10 per cent In
stead of 5) ) , Is not to be counted as part of the
legal reserve against dciposltH.
I feel much gratified nt the friendly In
terest you take In the suggestions made by
me. I elo not know that tney are the best ,
bu * ' I feel certain , If they all could bi-
RdoptecJ the government would find itself ns
a bank of Issue ( nnd that Is what It Is ar.J
' .vlH bo for some years to come ) , In nn en
ormously better position than It now Is.
Very truly yours , LYMAN J. GAGE.

CHICAGO , Nov. 20. Up to Thursday the
wheat market was remarkable for the ex
treme narrowBesa of trading. Business was
probably the dullest for two years and the
Interest taken was so small that scalpers
at times ran the market to suit themselves.
As they were bearish almost to a man , the
market for May , the leading option , slowly
declined until It waa brought up with a
sharp turn on Wednesday by the sudden
strength displayed by one of the coarser
grain markets. The wealnnc s was not so
marked In the Dcfjmber future , In which
there was a great deal of quiet but persist
ent buying all week. This was especially
noticeable during the early part ot the week
when the strictness with which Incoming
wheat was being Inspected caused shorta
sorno uneasiness. The result was a consid
erable wldcn'o. ; of the spread between the
two options , the difference amounting to
4 % cents at one tlmo and closed the week
at 4Vi@4 % cents. The December altuatlon
Is , however , loea acute on account of the
gradual Increase In contract stocks , which
now amount to 1,601,000 bushcU , m Increase
of C72.000 bushels for the week. Two bear
ish features were the Immense receipts at
primary points , which on omo ilaynero
treble those of last year , and the northwest
receipts , which as yet show no plgns of. a let
up , nothwlthQtandlDg reports of a falling off

ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM #
The local bit of Interest In secret society
during the lost seven tlajnns the annual
Bcsslon of the great council o ( the Improved
Order of lied Men. This excellent , purely
fraternal body docs njt at present rank
among the big ones In point of membership
In this state , but Is one of the strongest In
the cast. The session held hero Is expected
lo r mlt In considerable stimulation of In-
Icrcst In the mcmlioifihlp throughout the
state , because both of the good showing made
of the condition and ot the good feeling that
was engendered during the brief stay of the
delegates and visitors to the city.
Half a hundred delegates were In attend
ance at the great council session and there
were as maoy more visitors. The business
that came up was not of great Importance
and ono sun's deliberations were suffljlcnt to
clean It up. The following , for the wis
dom they have displayed and for their
long service In the Interest ot their tribes ,
were elected to flll the chieftaincies : Great
sachem , AV. II. Havens , Fremont ; great
senior sagamore , C. H. Chubbuclt , Tccumsoh ;
great Junior sagamore , C , E. Nclr , Aurora ;
groit prophet , Q. W. Inskccp , Falls City ;
great chief of records , S. J. Uciuils , Lincoln ;
great keeper of wampum , Fred Beaulcau ,
Falls City ; great representative , for two
great euns , 3. J. Dennis , Lincoln ; for one
great aun. D. B. Warner , North Plattc. The
great sachem appointed tbo following tried
and true members to flll the following chief
taincies : Great Eannap , F. E. Hodges ,
Omaha ; great mlshenowa , W. D. McClcllan ,
Lincoln ; great guard of wigwam , \V. A.
Irwlu , Tecumseh ; great guard of forest , L. D.
Crammaor , Hastings ; committee on law , M.

lock , and I. N. Pfelftcr. Nebraska City ;
nnanco committee , Charles Loree , iFalla City ,
J. M. llannlo , North Plattc. and F. 11. dirk ,
York.
The report of the great chief of records
was very gratifying , the wampum belt of
the great council showing that It was filled
and that the various tribes In this reserva
tion were In good condition financially and
enjoying a growth that Is satisfactory to
all. Five hundred palefaces were captured
slnco the first of thU great sun.
To entertain the great chiefs In a way
bc'flttlng ' their dignity and positions of
honor they hold In their tribes was the
watchword of the local committee In charge
of the entertainment. The banquet they
L'avo to the visitors was a credit to them
and to the order. Two hundred plates were
laid on the tables of the Commercial club
rooms , and over 300 members of the order
and thulr paleface frlt-nda did Justice to
the spiead. Genial Mayor Moorcs welcomed

scheme of a woman's auxiliary to the order
has ibcen eagerly seized upon "by " tbo mem
bership throughout the country. Courta are
being established everywhere. The auxiliary
will > bo at first of n purely social character.
It Is undoubtedly the purpose of the supreme
chief ranger to go together a big member
ship In thin 'branch ' , possibly 100,000 , by tbo
next meeting of the supreme court , and
then to come 'before that body -with a proposi
tion to admit them on equal footing with
the men Into the Insurance feature. There
Is nothing In the laws -ot the order which
would prohibit this. If the supreme court
should refuse admittance to the women , the
latter will In nil probability proceed lo or-
pnnlzo an Insurance company of their onn ,
remaining auxiliary , however , to the ForoM-
era. A court of the auxiliary Is being or
ganized now In Lincoln. In the next week
or two a movement will bo put on foot to
Institute onq In this city and another In
South Omahn.
High Secretary Combs was In Homer last
week , where he assisted In the Institution ot

The scheme that has been agitated for
months past of establishing a permanent
Pythian headquarters In this city Is about
dead. A commltleo has labored for months
In the efforts to secure some central location
at which all the lodges cuuld meet and live
In harmony and to unite all tho. local bodies
In the plan , but It has been unsuccessful and
It Is now ready to report adversely to the
scheme.
The Idea was certainly a commendable one.
It was proposed to secure the lease upon
sotno local hall for a period of years and
thcro establish a sort of Pythian temple.
All the local lodges were to meet there and
In connection was to have been established a
reading room and other conveniences. The
trouble has been , however , that some ot the
lodges have now long leases ot halls which
they could not evade , some have not favored
the scheme and the committee hnw not been
successful In selecting a hall.
On the first meeting night In January
Forest ledge will Ijf consolidated with Trl-
anglo lodge. This Is In line with the plan
of consolidation that has been going on In
this city for some time. By the Joining of
the above two bodies Triangle ledge will
secure about fifty members and also a com
plete set of paraphernalia. The consolida
tion will bo made the occasion for one of
the entertainments for which Triangle Is
well known. The affair will occur In the
hall at Twenty-second and Cumlng streets.
The ledge holds Its election on next Tuesday
nltht.

There Is DO doubt about the Increased and
reawakened Interest that Is prevalent
amongst the camps of the city. The meet
ings arc being more largely attended. This

becoming Interested over election and camp
politics are warming up perceptibly. The
elections occur la the latter part of next
month.

NEW YORK , Nov. 20. Outside of a few
speculative stocks , such as Sugar and Con
solidated Gas , the stock market haa been
almost stagnant during the week and
changes In prices are Insignificant. The tone
of trading has changed almost every day
and has been entirely fictitious. Traders
have sought In vain to Induce outside Inter
est by artificial movements ot prices and ,
after selling short or buying long , have
found nothing to do but cover their contracts
at the prices they have made themselvcn.
On Thursday sales fell to the low level , be ;
Ing leto than ICO.OOO shares all told , and ,
with Sugar deducted , the total , barely
reached 100,000 shares. This dullness , In
face of the favorable technical condltlcii ,
argues the doubt In the mind of capitalists
as to the future outlook for business. Fa
vorable technical conditions are : A pro
longed decline In face of good buslnrra con
ditions which has served to shake out all
weak speculative holdings of securities , an
almost plethoric condition of the money mar
ket and enormous credits abroad duo to the
favorable trade balance , which are availa
ble to draw on to check any rising tendency
for money , und a largo and Increasing- gold
reserve In the troeoury which dissipates un
easiness In regard to the currency. Never
theless , speculation has practically come tea
a standstill. There has been good1 buying
of hlu'h grade Investment securities as a
natural re-putt ot cheap money and doubt of
the t/peculatlve outlook. Except In a few
cafes , net changes are only fractional. The
coalers have been heavy , as has Union Pa
cific , but net gains predominate In the gen
eral Hat. Sugar la about two points higher.
Ccneolldated Gas has been nine points low
er , recovered to I'/i points higher and closed
a fraction lower Friday night.
