The new bn.e bull association received a setback today that will probably delay Its organisation for u year, if It does not entirely blast Its hopes.

Mr. (Jllmorc added that In the nbsencc of an option on suitable grotindH ho preferred uot to deposit the mgncy; possibly In two wcoks he would Bee his wnjf clear, and would then make good hlti contribution to tho Philadelphia club. Upon his arrival in Ilalrlmoro this even ing McOraw found a telegram from 01!- more awaiting liltn asking that the umocIu- tlon wait three weeks. McOraw thereupon threw up his hands telegraphed Anson that .. ..i i .i.i.i...... r. ... .u ...... i..i.. he would withdraw from the nssncliitlon. Ho said tonight that It was useless to try to do ImslnesB with a olx-club circuit and that (he lass of Philadelphia mennt the failure of the association.

Louise Mulibner iMalka, a business woman and head of her clan Ada Dwyer Hannah Jucobs, "Reb" Shemuel's duughter Rosabel Morrison Tho most talked about play of the season, or for thnt matter, of ninny seasons, Is hero. No other play of recent years, not even "Cyrano do He-rgcrac," which last season was said to bo the drama of tho century, has occasioned any more discussion than tho Zangwill play. It is, Indeed, a rarity for locul theatergoers to bo afforded the. opportunity or seeing such a play as "Tho Children of the Ghetto" within the satnu seoton that It Is given proiicclloii In both Ne- York ahd- Ixindon, and produced by the original company, therefore It Is hardly to bo wonderrd at that Thursday night's audience was que of tho largest and most enthusiastic at the season. After bcclng "The Children of tho Ghetto' il Is hard for one to Imagine why so grcn; an outcry was raised against It by thu New York critics. True, It is not a play past fault finding, for thero nro few ot fiitcn a kind written nowadays, but cer tainly tho possibility of its deserving any thing llko harsh criticism will not enter any unprejudiced mind and there enn re main little doubt that bias played an im portant part in tho critical hostility tlm pleco encountered in the cist. Ono of tho principal charges brought against It won thnt of Irrcvexiincc, nnd a moio unjust ono could not havo been formulated. Just now religious plays are numerous, and If It Ih permleslblo (or the playwright to touch upon tho religious subject at nil It could not ho dono to better advnntugo than It Is by Mr. Xangwlll. Hall Calno's play, "The Chris tlar." enjoys a greater following of Chris tians than of regular theatergoers, and yet never for a moment In that play Is tho hclghth of revcrenco and dignity reached which scenes In "The Children of the Ghetto" attain, nor does Mr. Calnc's lead ing religious character of John Storm cnm porn In any way with Mr. Kangwlll's Itch Shemttol, which is ono of. If not tho most, ttuly holy characters to bo found upon the stage of today. It has also been said that this play would do the Jewish religion harm and that It Is wrong to expose so many sccred things to tho public gaze and many btllevo that It should not be encouraged. This seems like tho veriest rubbish and It Is hard to believe that any hut an ovor plotis person would even give such a thing a thought. Sacrod things brought before us are uplifting to look upon when they nro earnestly nnd honestly presented mid Instead of desecrating tho ttnge they consecrate It to tho placo It should hold. It Is tho real stage that shows sanctities of life, tho errors nnd virtues of Us characters and ll will be n blessed day for mankind when tho air of sanctity becomes the natlvo air of the s:ago. Tho Hebrews nf Omaha, or no other set or religion for that matter, will Und anything in the play to offend. On tho other hand, overyono who goes to kco It will find It pleas ing throughout. Thero has not been a single play seen lu Omaha this season any w hero near as Intensely interesting nnd from the moment the curtain rnlrcs In tho first net until Its final fall In the last one tho play commands the undivided attention of every spectator. It Is an nthniosphcro nnd charac ter drama, yet It has an Interesting and slg nllleant story. It Is n story of the- conflict of love and duty, In which duty triumphs nt the cost, perhaps, of happiness. IlaiuiHh Jn.olKi. ih" beautiful daughter of the rabbi, Shemuel, Is married by a young man, who In tun has gone through the form which, under the rab binical law, constitutes a marriage. They are nt once divorced by tho curious technl.-al forms of tho "Get," but when Hannah Is nbout to marry David Hrandon. a joung man with whom she hns fallen In love. It Is discovered sho may not do so as n divorced woman. Ho Is a Cohen, a prlost of the temple, a descendant of Aaron, nnd it Is wrlttoit In the Talmud that no priest shall wed a divorced woman. Tho young pooplo nppe.il to tho rabbi for n liberal reading ot the law. The young man Is not a priest, th templo Is destroyed. Why," David i rles. "should this old law, which was not nudo for such ns I. ruin our lives?" Ilut tho rahhl Is Inexorable, though broken with grief over tho mlsfortunte that has befallen his daughter. Then David appeals to Hannah to liy with him to America, where they aro unknown, and may be married even by the Jewish service. She nt firat ennsentf. but In tlm end her lovo for liar fnther pt( valla und she remalnB. A sad story, significant of more than one nucleus but luexo'ahle limit i tlon which makes tragedies.

Kvidciitly iht. villagers are holding their country fair, and a balloon ascension is one of the features. The gionp con sistlng of the peasant and his family arc in the picturesque costume of tho country. They have all stopped work ami stand with their rakis in Ihelr hands gazing intently at the dlslant balloon. Wonder, awe and admiration are blended in tlielr expressive faces, and revealed In Ihelr attitude. The subject has been Heated with those soft, mellow tints which Its artist knows ko-wtII bow lo paint, and recalls to the mind many Just nuch Incidents In our childhood life. It Is Justly popular, both on account of Its artistic quality and deep human Interest with which it ha s been clothed. History of "The Defense of ClianipiKiiy." Tho Franco-CJermnn war of 1ST0. w th all Its horrors and terrllilo loss nf llfo, still burns In the memory of most living. For many yenra previous n bod feeling ovlstod between France nnd Prussia an d both groat powers had been getting their armies In readiness nnd were armed to th o teeth. Distrustful and full of hato to each other, they soon found themselves In a po sitlon from which neither could retreat with honor and nn appeal to the sword was th e only alternative. Tho Spanish crown of fered tho I'rlnco of Hohenzollern, lu Jun c, 1870, and being uccepted by him, caused the Interference of Prussia, which tho F tench government teseiitcd, fcclln's that Prussia had no right to interfero In Spa nlsh nffalrs, and step by step tho quarrel grew, and nlthough (!rent Uritaln nnd at her European powers tried to avert an opon rupture nnd to preserve tho pence of Eu rope, tho war spirit was mndly popular In both Prussia and Franco. At last, on th e Kith of July, 1S70, tho crisis came. Tho Huko of Grnmmont told Lord Lyons, tli o Iliitlsh ambassador, that "Tho Prussian government hnd deliberately Insulted Era nee by declaring to tho public that tho king had affronted tho French ambassador. It was evidently tho iiituiitlun of tho king of Prussia lo take credit with the people o f (icrmnny for having urtej wiih haughti ness and discourtesy lu fact to humlllta to France." Empcior Napoleon, as curly as tho 8th of July hud moved forward his tr oops, and on tho IStli of July war whs do clarcd by tho French government to exist between Franco nnd Prussia. Ail Paris was in nn uproar of delight. Tho dcclr.ratlo u of war made Napoleon popular with his biibJectB and tho Chambers, by un overvvn elmlng vote, granted a credit of SO.000,000 francs for tho nrmy and 1U.000.000 for tho navy. Tho war was carried on with vast cxpondlturo of force on both sides, mid vvur was brought lo a cioso after sovon months of awful bloodshed und almost da liy battles, tho details of which aro to harrowing to narrate. The Germans los t C.2I7 olllcers and 12,1, (fi3 men. Tho totnl losses of tho French were Incalculable. S trasburg and .Mot., which Gnrmnny had lost In a tlmo of wenkness, were reconquered, and the Gorman Empire had arisen nnow, and Franco had thrown olf bondago und hud becomo a frco nation u republic. So good camo out of evil. Wlillo rcllcctlng upon these oventfiil times, M.
