AMUSEMENTS.
Again the Crclghton theater lias out-
itrlppcd Its loal : rival In popularity and bag
nrcmod to enjoy a very profitable week.
Neither of the attractions offered at Doyd's
nan of a kind to draw cither the bcit or
the Urgent patronage , and theater-goers who
missed both "The ( lay Mntlneo dirt" and
"The Cherry Pickers" need not feel that
there la no marc iwectncts In life for them ,
The Woodward people , on the contrary , at
the Crclghton , have been giving by long
obis the host performance , not only of
the week , hut of their Beaten thus far ,
The coming of Mo nr . Unos mid Dlakc-
tnoro and tin assumption by the former of
the reliifi of stage management , haa wcrKcd
R really surprising change. That there wns
K od material In thu company no onu who
ban followed Its "oil ; , hns been disposed to
drny , but prior to the Infusion of this new
blood Into Its veins , It seemed to have
reached the highest point of excellence whlcn
4t nos pornlblo for ll own unaided efforts
to attain. Many of the reforms have been
fcuch as the trained obsm'er can moit read
ily perceive , but there Is a smoothness and
finish , a toning do.vn and adjustment of
forcts which only thu mc t efficient direc
tion could have brought about , and \vhlcd
must 1) ) apparent to all.
Quito aside from these evidences of a firm
and competent guiding hand , the addition teeny
ony company of two such excellent u-lore ,
considered simply ag actors , could not fall t'
strengthen that company materially. Mr.
] ; lckeniL.ri ! has had h'n opportunity In "Tho
I iiHlgn" ci d has Improved U admirably ,
making ultliout doubt the prcatcfit Indi
vidual lilt of the production. It Is said
that he linn never played such a I/art bu-
foie and that he has announced his deter
mination icver to do so again , being , as hr
Bays , a comedian , and having some regard
( or the strain on his nerves anil senslbllltlra.
As n matter of fact , he plays the rough
nnd warm-hearted old coxswain so thor-
orcughly well and draws sympathetic tears
to so many unaccuHtomed ejes , th.it ho
has disclosed abllltlcti which he himself did
not know lie possessed , and which may
lead him to reconsider his expressed inten
tion to confine himself strictly to fun-
mi'.klng hereafter.
Ao to Mr. Knori , ho had not much to d :

No ono did badly Iti these performances ;
eomo better than others us a matter ol
course , but all well In the measure of their
opportunities. Moit of the me.nbers of the
company have already been commended In
these columns for their work In this play ,
An extra word of piulse , however , Is tin-
< | tirstlnjby ! deserved by that very conscien
tious actor , Mr. Davis , for h's ' llfe-llkc
makeup as Secretary Welles. If the produc
tion of "The Charity llall , " which will oc
cupy the stage at thp Crcighton during the
"whole " of thlE week , Is as meritorious ee.
that of "The Knslgji" and theic Is no rcu-
eon to doubt that It will be even better II

DeWolf Hopper Is widely knonn among hi ;
friends as a incut vcracloun man and any
utterance from him regarding himself 01
Ji'a ' plana U accepted without unnccerflarj
rcsonatbns , as embracing all that Is msslblt
to bo known on that subject. Wherefore ,
his lightest word touching his domestic re
lations la anxiously awaited and cagcrl )
lieard In view oforlouo peraUtent rumors
of Infelicity In the fa.-ully circle.
In a recent letter the big and Joyous com
edian says of this very matter : "There has
been a great how-de-do over the fact thai
my wife , Edna Wallace Hopper , and I are
rcparatcdi. I have been accused of making
the tour as uncomfortable as I pors'.lily
could for her , and aho has been charged
with making thlnga generally red-hot foi
me. As a matter of calm and collected fact ,
thcro has been no friction of any kind. We
have simply come to the conclusion that we
made a mlstakn when we married each other ,
end wo are now leading our lives Independ
ently of each other. "
This should settle It beyond pcradvcnture ,
Mr. Hopper goes on to unfold his professional
plans for the Immediate future. The In
genuous Introduction of Miss Oergen's name ,
quite at the other end of the letter from
Mrs. Hopper's , will be observed. Mr. Hop
per says :
"I shall certainly appear In London next
ecason. My Idea U to go to London and
open as the eccentric and pusillanimous hereof
of 'El Copltan' and then , sometime within
the next fortnight , to give a special matl-
nco with a supporting company of English
actors and actresses , of Sydney Rosenfleld'a
parody on 'Lo Demi-Monde , ' called 'The
Crust of the Froth of the Fringe of Society.1
In this last named piece I have an oppor
tunity to play a 'straight' part In a 'straight' '
Way , wearing a dress suit and my plain ,
ordinary , evcry-day face. U would bo not
at all unpleasant for me If I could flnd a
Cow English people who might hold the opin
ion that I can act as well es antic. Al
though Miss Nella Dergen Is under contraci
to appear now In 'The Bride Elect , ' and next
ccaaon with me In 'The Charlatan , ' I am
desirous of securing her services for 'El
Capltan' In London. Mr , Sousa has said thai
dhere Is only one soprano who can sing bis
music , and that her name Is Nella Dergen ,
She has the high , powerful , clear voice thai
rings out as It should In the martial atralni
of Souea's compositions. "

inee , Is uald to be c c of the greatest laughIng -
Ing hits of modern times. "Our Flat" Is a

such famoun stage beauties as Maxluo Elliott
and Mary Mannerlng.

Indeed would have been the musical progran :
had they failed to keep up the good Impres

show much natural musical ability. There

CHICAGO , March IS. The grand opera
season la piogresslng with greater success
than has been attained by any other In this
city during the last several years. The people
ple of Chicago seem to bo fully allvo to the
Importance of the opportunity presented dur
ing these two weeks and for nearly every
performance the vast auditorium la thronged
with Interested listeners. Mr. Damrosch has
succeeded In forming a company which maybe
bo said to bo without any weak points. Of
the great artists , he counts Mme. Nordlca
and Mme. Melba OB first , but clote behind
them may bo reckoned the baritones , Cam-
panarl and Blspham , the tenor , Kraus , and
the great bafs , Emll Fischer. The first per
formance which It was my good fortune to
hear was tha * of Tannhauser on Tuesday
evening. It marked the first appearance In
this city of Kraus In the title role and , sev
eral critics to the contrary notwithstanding ,
It la my humble opinion that he achieved a
great success. He has a fine stage presence
and a powerful , ringing voice which takes
easily the highest notes In the part. His
muilcal schooling Is decidedly German , but
for all that he sings In tune. He Is a strong
actor and has a clearly defined Idea of the
traditions of the part. Gadskl sang the part
of Kllzabeth , and Barna , an American , the
part of Venus. Great Interest centered In the
part of Wolfram , sung by Blspham. His
make-up for the part was copied after an
old Italian Ideal portrait of Jesus and his
conception was continually suggestive of
Major , whom 1 saw play the part of Jesus
In the Passion Play at Ohcrammergau. As
on Ideallazatlon this Is certainly very beau
tiful , but In the working out It nas not
particularly successful.
Wednesday evening Ilozzlnl's comic opera ,
the "Barber of Seville" was produced , with
Campanarl In the title role and Mme. Melba
as Roslna. Campanarl scored a success of
which any artist might well be proud , and
was applauded almost as much as the prlma
dcnna herself. Those who have heard Melba
In other operas were surprised to notice her
Increased ability as an actress , for In the
character of Roslna she displayed rn ability
cs a comedienne which was entirely unlooked -
looked for. This opera Is of especial Inter
est to the people of Omaha because Mme.
Melba and the artists who appeared with
her last Wednesday evening will all bo
heard In Omaha during the first week In
April.
Thursday evqnlng "Die Walkure" was
given , with Mme. Nordlca as Brunhlldc , and
this performance may be considered as the
triumph of the season so far. The great
prlmn donna was nt her best In the part
and gave It an Interpretation which even
the critics who feel that their standing and
reputation for knowledge of music , In the
eyes of the public , depend upon their ability
to discover flaws , were obliged to glvo un
stinted praise. The 'work of Gadskl as
Slrgllndc , Kraus as SIcgmund , and Blspbam
as Wotan was as near faultless as ono may
expect to hear.
At the close of the first act T called
upon Mme. Nordlca In her dressing room
and found her very complacently seated
before a small table eating a half dozen
blue points on the half-shell. A great deal
has been said about singers doing their
best work with an empty stomach , but Mme.
Nordica does not see It exactly that way.
Speaking of the role of Brunhllde In "Die
Walkure , " she said : "When I was at
Beyrouth , singing Klsa , I went through
the three Brunhtldes In 'Die Walkure , ' 'Sleg-
frld' and 'Gotterdammerung' with airae. Wag
ner , and my Interpretation Is what she
gave me. I have every reason to believe
that It Is the one conceived by the com
poser himself. Mme. Wagner made a sharp
distinction between the three characters ,
from the standpoint of age and experience.
Brunhllde In 'Die Walkure' Is nhvaja ad
dressed by Wotan as 'child , ' and
It Is Mme. Wagner's Idea that
she should be a girl and girlish
In her actions. She is by no means such
an amazcn as many artistes have repre
sented her. Neither Is she lacking ID hu
manity , although supposed to' be a sort of
supernatural being. Her sympathy for Sleg-
mund Is real and earnest , although disin
terested. "
I asked Mme. Nordlca If she had anything
to say to the people out by the Missouri
river. She quickly responded : "Yea , in
deed , everything. Tell them I want to
come out there again as soon as ever I can ,
and have by no means forgotten the cordial
reception which they have always given
me. " At the close of her season with Tllr.
Damrosch , Mme. Nordlca goes to London ,
where she will play Brunhlldo In the three
works mentioned , to the ISIegmund and Slg-
frlcd of Jean de Rcszke. It Is a matter of
just pride that Mme. Nordlca has been able
to establish herself as one of the few ex
ponents of these roles. She Is the only
American who has ever sung them.
I have been greatly Interested 'in studying
Walter Damrosch as a conductor. It was
ray good fortune to hear the first perform
ance of opera which he ever conducted In
Chicago. The readers of The Bee will doubt
less remember that In the spring of 1SS5
Leopold Damrosch , Walter's father , died sud
denly. Just as the first season of German
opera In New York came to a close. The
company was bookeJ for a tour , and thcro
nas no one to direct the performances ex
cepting , Walter , whoso only experience had
been such as he had been able to gain by
assisting his father. With a fortitude de
cidedly heroic , he submerged his grief In
the exigency of the hour , took up the baton
where his father had laid It down and -went
out with the company to glvo a series of
operatic performances In a half dozen of the
loading cities. "Tannhauser" was the first
opera that be produced In Chicago , anilthe
company was so late In arriving that the
curtain did not go up until after 10 o'clock.
The artists appeared In whatever costumes
were available , and at least a half dozer
operas and as many countries were repre-
oented by the minstrel knights. The per
formance did not end until long after 1
o'clock , but the audience stajcil It out and
enjoyed It. I wondered Tuesday evening
\\hen Mr. Damrcsch took his place at the
conductor's desk If he recalled that first
performance of "Tannhauser" at the Co
lumbia theater.
The people of Omaha will remember that
the first ensemble rehearsal of Mr. Dam-
rosch'a opera , "The Scarlet Letter , " was held
at Boyd'd theater. During the course o (
c nvercatlon with him , a day or two ago , I
asked him U he had any Intention of writIng -
Ing another opera , and was much pleased to
discover that ho not on'.y tun such an In-
tntlon , but has already begun on Its con
summation. I asked him If ho propose ] to
add to bis opera company an English singIng -
Ing contingent , and he told me that such
had been his Intention , but that he had been
greatly hampered la Its execution because of
the difficulty of finding English singing
tenora who possessed voices of sufficient
power , or dramatic ability. There are In
his company at the present time a number
of artists of the first rank who can sing In
English successfully , but thcro Is no tenor
vtho can do EO.
WeCncfiday movnlng I called upon Wil
liam L. Tomllns , conductor of the Apollo
club , and was very much surprised to learn
that the much-talked-of visit of that or
ganization to Omaha during the exposition
U a dremm hardly to be realized. Up to
date the proposition ba * not even been ub-
i ' ' f
mltted to the club , although there baa
been a little talk about It among the ofO >
cers. Unless some proposition different from
any eo far considered Id submitted by the
exposition musical department , It U quite
unlikely that the Apollo club will bo heard
In Omaha. t f.
During the last few rlaye I have seen
much of Mr. Sherwood , the pianist , and
Wednesday evening we , heard "Die Walkure"
together. He Is an enthusiastic Wagncrlart
and has very little patience with those people
who arc unable to cpjoy'tho great Bcjreuth
composer's music. I askcil , him why be
supposed It was that' some people could
listen to the music dramas without being
affected by them. HIs-mplanatlon was that
"they must bo stuffed with sawdust ; " figu
ratively true , If not particularly compli
mentary. Next week Mr. Sherwood start *
on an extended concert tour which will In
clude New York and Boston.
Omaha seems to be very well represented
at the opera end It was my good fortune
to meet today Mrs. and Miss Hoagtand and
Mr. and Mrs. Cudahy. They were all at the
opera last evening and seemed as enlhusl-
astlc over It as everybody else. Mrs. Hoag-
lacid acid her daughter will remain for the
next week and then return to Omaha ,
Yesterday I saw Mr. Ellis , manager with
Mr. Damrosch of the opera company and
solo manager of the company which will
HHko the wcttcrn tour with Mme. Melba.
Ho asked mo numerous questions about the
music of the exposition and the capacity of
the theaters In O.r.aha. Owing to the great
expense of his company , bo Is anxious to
glvo the promised performance of "The Bar
ber of Seville" In the largest available place ,
and I suggested to htm the Exposition audi
torium , should It bo ready In time. H cer
tainly would not bo a bad Idea to have the
auditorium opened by a company at the
head of which would bo Mme. Melba At the
present writing no conclusion has been
reached regarding the matter.
The second week of the opera season will
bo as Interesting as the first. Monday evenIng -
Ing "Tho Huguenots , " by Myerbeer , will be
given with Mmo. Melba , Mme. Nordlca ,
Blspham , Campanarl and Ibos In the leading
parts. Tuesday evening "Lohengrin" with
Gadskl , Kraus and Bispham. Wednesday
evening "Faust , " with Melba. Thursday
" ' " with Gadskl ,
evening "Dlo Mo'stersinger ,
Fischer end Kraus. Friday evening a galJ
performance with "Barber of Seville" and
the mad scene from "Lucia" sung by Melba ,
Saturday afternoon "Tannhauaer. "
HOMER MOORE.

ever the edge of the roof and dropped tc
the hard turf below. Still vexed with these
unpleasant fancies he fell afleep and then
In dreams he seveml times repeated his ex
perience of the afternoon , but with several
additional features. One of these was thai
whllo he' was sliding down the roof his ladle
of melted lead slipped out of his hand an < ]
disappeared over .the edge. When still
dreaming he went In.Rearch of his lead , ex
pecting to find It In one-piece , he was sur-
prlaed to notice the "ground was covered wltli
hundreds of tiny globules , the metal evi
dently having been so divided la falling ,
When Watts wakened this Incident of hie
dream would not leave him. Ho did no )
for a moment suppose lead would act In such
an unusual manner , 'but the dream seemed
so plausible that ho was persuaded to enacl
It In reality. So , with his ladle , he went tc
the roof of the same church and let the
melted lead slldo from the ridge. Then he
hastened to the ground and his astonishment
knew no bounds when he found everything
as It had appeared In his dream. The ground
was covered with tiny globules' bright
'metal. Watts was sharp enough to realize
what he had discovered and was not slow tc
make fine shot and bo realized a fortune ol
10,000 out of his dream.
Thus It happened that the first shot towci
was a church. Drjp cbot Is made In thi
same way today tbat Watts employed aftei
his first experiment. . The melted lead Ii
taken to the top of a high tower built fo ;
the purpose. It Is then poured through (
elevo and In falling through the air It be
comes broken Into small globules. At thi
bottom of the tower Is a pool of cold wate
Into which the shot falls. From ICiere It I
taken and placed In revolving drums , where
by one shot rubblug- against others , It be
comes round and smooth. Several device ,
have been used to do away with the tower
One of these Is a large upright tuba througl
whlcti , from the bottcin. Is forced a draugh
of cold air. This allows of a much ehortc
fall than where the old-stylo tower Is used
Another method Is to pour the lead througl
a slcvo and allow It to ( all through glycerine
The density of this liquid gives the same re
slstanco and docs the same In rounding am
separating the shot as does a much greate
column of air. The varying sizes of dro |
shot are made by sieves of different meshe
as well as by the distance the lead Is al
lowed to fall. Drop shot forms a consider
able feature ct lead working and may be con
sldcrcd ono of the most practical and con
crete things that ovcc came out of the mist ;
realms of dreamland. In'passing It may b <
noticed that the Inventor of lead pipe Rob
ert Seydcll of Milton , Pa. discovered thi
process in a somewhat accidental way. Hti
method was very crude , but It served others
not overscrupulous , to begin the develop
ment of the * present lead pipe Industry. Sey ,
dell was born In 1S09 and died In 1817 , hav
Ing during his comparatively short life givet
many proofs of exceptional mechanlca
genius , but reaping no marked profit fron
bis skill.

Mr. Itoliernon iFniltt to See How
Trnilo Will lie Hurt.
"W , H. Hoberson local manager of R. G.
Dun & Co. for the district of Nebraska ,
speaking of ttade conditions , says :
"Perhaps the most remarkable fuel In con
nection , v\lth commerce Kenernlly Is the ap
parent indifference , of tradennd especial y
of the money market , In the face of possible
war with Spain. Save comparatively slight
fluctuation * In Wall street , authorities agree
that neither peace nor war reports have
changed the onward current of business.
Locally the chief apprehension 19 the effect
which war - ould have upon the attendance
nt the exposition. ( Personally I cannot see
that this would be material. The bulk of
the attendance will be gathered from the
populous and ) wealthy Interior , Included
within a radius of 500 miles. This section
will be so far removed from all possible dan
ger that we shall know very little about
the contest outside of the Information ob
tained from the .papers. It Is not likely that
any very considerable number of troops will
be required from among the citizens , but
if every state In the trnnsmlsslsslppl region
should contribute Its probable quota to the
war establishment there would yet remain
many millions from which to draw a very
large attendance nt the exposition. . Aside
from foreign exhibits and foreign visitors
war with Spain wou'.d not , In my opinion ,
very seriously Interfere with the exposition
program. On the other hand. It would stlm-
ulato business activity In this Immediate
country , and ! when peop'e are making money
there are alwaya members of each family
, who can take time for pleasure trip0.
"The lumbermen's convention held during
thp week was one of the most enthusiastic
nnd Interesting commercial events of the
season , inude so largely by the very marked
Improvement In business In the lunibe.1
"Tho streets txf Omaha even on these dull ,
damp ! days nre crowded iwlth more people
than I have ever eoen since coming to
Omaha and It Is stated that the streets
have a more metropolitan appearance now
than they Tiad In boom days. I nm naHsno.1
that not less than 10,000 permanent residents
have been nddekl to the population of the
city since last fall , _ and still the people
como
"Mr. M. V. Morse of the Omnha Street
Railway company Is my authority for the
statement that Ills corporation will add al
least tlCO.OOO to Us permanent property In
vestment In this city In anticipation of the
business of the exposition. I think It proper
to eay In thl connection that the Omaha
Street Ral'way company has kept Itsell
fully abreast with the requirements of the
city In splto c-f all the discouragements ol
the last few years. .
"Information from nil parts of the state
of Nebraska Is all to the same effect. Farm
mark Is In progress , the soil was never In
better condition and the outlook for crops
could not be better. Two carloads of beet
seed recently passed through the city. Ihe
Oxnards have receded from their Hawaiian
gminmtv proposition and the acreage o.
snigar beet * will therefore be equal tel no
greater than Jast year. Up to elate nonei ot
the schemes for additional sugar factories
have materialized , but I hone during the exposition
capitalists will be able o sec
position two important year fuels : llrst. that .this . is the
nitur.ll fui-'ar beet center of America and
second , that no soil In the world Is better
adapted to the Industry than that of Ne
braska. " _ _ _ _ _

One man fatally shot nnd nnotner man nnd
woman Injured Is the result of an attempt
to rob a resort here owned by Frank
Hunter. About 2 o'clock this morning two
strangers drove to the place nnd forced an
entrance. They were met at the iloor by
Mrs. Hunter , who Immediately commenced
shooting , putting three shots Into one of
them ami slightly wounding the other. The
men returned the tire , one bullet striking
Mrs. Hunter In the head nnd causing n

then carried his wounded companion to the

Cniitlftx Killed In nMine. .
BIRMINGHAM. Ala. . Marc1) 19.-An ex
plosion occurred In slope 2 of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company mine at Pratt City
today. The following negro convicts were
killed : Alexander Shelton , Gil Lawhoin ,
Georgn L. Jones , Henry Johnson , Will Scott
and Tom Oliver. Tha men were l.GQO feet
from the surface repairing the air ma
chinery. The cxp'.oslon Is a mystery. It
was caused either bv firedamp or powder.
Since the explosion firedamp Is heavy and
men are unable to reach the dead. It Is
thought , however , that the corpses will
finally be reached this evening.
