AMUSEMENTS.
Is the combined tnlcnt of tho theater-go- Mr. Daniels, I wouldn't havo to spend
Ins portion of Ornatm ablo to devlso some
means for the suppression of tho encore
fiend' If so, lot a muss meeting bo called
forthwith for tho exploitation of tho
scheme, and then every ono present pledge
himself or herself to do everything possible
to carry out tho scheme. This for the ben
efit of a long-suffering public, whose pa
tlcnee has been sorely tried In tho past
and which, as It scans the horizon of things
theatrical, sees no relief In sight.
It ts eminently pnper that an audience
rh'ow Us appreciation of tho efforts nn
nctor makes to entertain It, and this may
take tho form of a demand for more of the
samo sort from the samo person. It fol
lows, too, as a corollary of this proposi
ti) that an actor Is Justified In respond
ing to such demand, up to a certain limit.
Hut for him to continue to Indict himself
tipon the peoplo In front for tho sake of
gratifying about 10 per cent of his audience
while tho other 00 Jer cent, who aro too
well bred to hiss, sit and wrllho in their
scats and wonder If the din will ever cease
Is nothing more or loss than an Imposition
on good nature.
As a matter of fact and this statement
may bo verified nt any tlmo by observation-It
Is the element that sits In tho gal
lery thit Is responsible for at least two
thirds of tho encore nuisance. If these ills
turbcrs of tho peace cannot bo Induced to
restrain their enthusiasm In any other way
it Is suggested that a policeman might
inako hmsclf useful as a conservator of
misdirected energy and thereby mnko
theater-going a greater pleasure than It
Is at present.
A little over a week ago James J. Cor
belt folded Ills tent more Hllcntly than an
Arab and hied himself across the pond
to London city. Following his departure
nil kinds of rumors were allont, among
others one to the effect that ho had been
kidnaped as soon as tho steamer on which
ho had taken passngo got below Sandy
Hook Mrs. Corbett opened n sluice gato
of loquacity anil told tho public that her
liege lord was not on the square and that
ho had been guilty of half a dozen things
whlrh aro not looked upon as being In good
form by tho sporting fraternity. Ho had
nold out his rights, he hail dono other things
equally culpable and had capped tho cli
max by running uwuy with another woman.
Of coursu it all made talk and Mr. Corbett
was the recipient of a largo amount of free
nrii'crtlsliiK.
Now comes the word that James Is tired
nf llfo abroad and Is longing for another
glimpse of dear old America, which, being
Interpreted, probably means that slnco he
has secured thousands of dollars worth of
advertising for tho price of a ticket from
New York to London and return he Is now
ready to como back and begin his starring
tour in "Tho Naval Cadet." Mr. Corbett
may never wear the belt of the world's
champion pugilist ognln. but when It comes
down to tho art of getting advance notices
gratuitously ho Is entitled to all, tho belts
of the champions that ever existed slnco
tho lllght of time began.
Tho many ndmlrers of Otis Skinner will
o glad to know that ho haB captured New
York with his "I'rliico Otto," a dramatlza
tlon of Stevenson's novel. Tho three or
four critics of tho metropolitan press
whose opinions nro really worth anything
unite In proclaiming him ono of the fore
most actors of tho present generation and
they commend, though with somo reserva
tion, his work ns a dramatist. Skinner Is
worthy of all tho kind things that can be
said about him and it Is n genuine pleasure
to learn of his success. Ho Is a student,
n scholar, a manly fellow, n gentleman In
tho strictest sense of tho word nnd the
possessor of nuo of tho most genial and
lovable natures on earth.
The tone of dramatic entertainment that
Is being offered this season Is something
to bo proud of nnd Is full of hopo for the
future. Even tho blase theatergoers of
tho big cities are giving their attention
to plays that nro wholesomo and clean
and aro passing by tho pronogrnphlc pro
duct Ions that wero so conspicuous last
peaHon In Chlrago "Tho Dairy Farm"
has Xtren packing houses nil summer. In
New York "Arizona" has caught on to an
extent that makes tho uso of tho S. It. O.
lgn Imperative every night. Other produc
tions that promise to bo successes are
"lib hard Carvel," "Caleb West," "In the
1'alace of n King," "Jnnlco Meredith" nnd
n half dozen others founded on novels of
Mich high character as to Insure that tho
plays themselves will bo unobjectionable
from n moral point of view.

1 MUSIC.
Onco upon a time In the days when vlrtuo
was Its own reward nnd vice was unknown,
there was n poor old man who suddenly
died and rumor had It that his death was
caused by eating three pigs, vvhen tho
enso was Investigated It was ascertained
that tho origin of this statement was the
remark made by a neighbor that "he nl
ways did eat llko a pig."
And so a tempest In a teapot has ben
caused by tho appearance of an tnnocont
article In Tho Hee of Tuesday last In re
gard to n rag-tlmo concert given by the
Uellstedt band. This article has been tho
subject of conversation on tho stroeta, In
tho offices and homes of thousands of peo
ple nil week. For this tho writer is grato
ful, because It proves that The nee Is a
great paper, that It Is widely read and also
that his articles hre worth reading, In
token of deep gratitude for the support of
a cultured reading public, he hereby makes
his grateful nckuowlodements. He docs
not expect every ono to agree with him.
nor docs he believe It posslblo that ho will
nlwnys strike tho popular ohord. Tho lo
cal press has taken a hand In the contro
versy nnd for this gratuitous advertising I
am truly grateful.
As to the wrnth-lnsplring article Itrelf,
I nm sure I do not yet realize what h terri
ble ban I must havo placed upon tho people
of Omaha. I never thought It possible that
I should have been elected buuIcaI (UcU-
tor-ln-ihlef to the residents of this city.
I had nlways supposed that the leoplo
could think, choose nnd act for themselves.
Hut Inasmuch as somo persons with Ideas
have determined to place mo In that re
sponsible position, I shall have to try nnd
graciously bear the honors thrust upon me.
I havo before me a copy of tho objection
able bordereau and It opens with these
words: "The efilcacy of the rag-time Idea
In calling forth n tremendous crowd of
Omaha peoplo has proved Itself." It cloiis
with tho statements that the bandsmen
added green laurels to their brows and
greenbacks to the box office." I take It
that tho concert was not considered by Mr.
Uellstedt, or tho committee, a serious
musical affair. I Imnglno that It was In
tended to bo a moncy-gctter. And without
money musical entertainments would bo nn
Impossibility. The committee made a ven
ture. It paid. The Heo gladly conceded
tho business success thereof and, ns nbove
stated, there was no claim made for the
concert from an artistic standpoint.
Wherein tho "roast" comes so far I do not
see.
Tho criticism seriously made was that
tho concert was monotonous. I Insist that
from on entertainment standpoint (not
a musical one) thnt It was monotonous.
am homo out In this statement by tho fact
that many musical persons and thoso who
really enjoy a good cako walk tnoro than
anything else told me during the last week
and on the eventful night In question, that
there was too much sameness In tho pro
gram. For the typical song of tho colored
people and their Jolly dances I havo much
admiration, and I have already so stated In
this column; thereforo I should not be mis
represented and made to say that nothing
but classics aro to be presented. I have
never (.nld so. I have even mado a Btrcn
uous plea for popular music at these con
certs, as the committee Is fully aware.
As to the rest of the article I havo no re
marks to make, except thnt In writing the
account of somo numbers I Jocosely men
tinned them In tho way that ono would
write concerning a great symphony. Some
persons have taken these rcmnrks seriously
and I am sorry for It. When I attempt tho
style alluded to ngaln I shall arrange to
furnish n key, mnps nnd Illustrations.
I said: "Either Mr. Uellstedt or the
wood-winds failed to bring out sufficiently
tho A. D. T. motlvo In tho "I hnlnt seen
no messenger boy." Now this pnper has
given Mr. Uellstedt full recognition ot his
very decided ability nnd has praised his
band from piccolo to bass drum. Tho Hee
has had nothing but words of praise for the
organization, for the concerts and for the
management, and yet, because, forsooth, tho
sentence Just now In rovlow was written.
In, nnd behold, thero arlso hosts of people
saying with might nnd main, "The Heo Is
hurting tho concerts. The Heo has
'roasted' Uellstedt. Tho band should not
bo treated so."
I deny tho delicate Impeachment. Tho
Heo has dono nothing ot the kind. I can
find no word In tho criticism which caused
such a sensation Indicating thnt Tho Heo
wished the people to stay at home. Thoro
Is not ono word of censuro for the manage
ment. If tho peoplo aro so tragically In
cllned, I did not know It. A rag-time
concert Is onjoyable, says one, nnd wo
should he allowed to enjoy It. To which
The nee critic says: "Go on and enjoy It, for
the sake of all that Is enjoyable, but do
not export the musical people ot Omaha
to pat you on the back and say that tho
music ts divine."
If tho rng-tlmo concert ts lots of fun to
tho people, why should not a "notlco" of
a rag-tlmo concert bo read In the samo
spirit In which It was written.
Hut thero is a phaso to the situation
which deserves somo consideration, and
that Is this: Tho peoplo who paid largely
for the books of tickets In advance are
people with musical propensities, and the
music of a community is not Improved by
allopathic doses of rag-tlmo music ot the
machlno-made type. Tho peoplo who keep
music In tho city, who support It In tho
churches, who educate their children or
themselves, are not rag-tlrae adherents,
They mny like a little of It once In n
while, or a number In each program, If
Judiciously chosen, but not a whole meal
of It.
Tho only feature of the whole matter
which occurs to mo as being unfair Is the
statement so freely circulated that tho
rng-tlmo nights nro the paying ones, nnd
are necessary for tho support of the festi
val. I do not think so. Other nights
have been well patronized, nnd I wish to
stato that It gives me much pleasure to
sco thnt classic night Is nlways well at
tended, and by a discriminating audience
of the very best citizens of the town, the
brain, brawn and muscle of the community
Good music educates tho mind, but can
nny one seriously stato that last Monday
night's concert did. Let It bo remembered
that this Is a musical festival.
I regret that Mr. Hellstedt has been per
scnally brought Into this conterversy, for
esteem him highly as a man and as
musician, whllo I havo been represented as
feeling the opposite sentiment. The study
ot a musical critic is to write from the
standpoint of tho best music not from
tbo standpoint ot natural bent and popular
taste. Hundreds of peoplo go to see
pugilistic melodrama with one of tho great
lighters ns a star, but the dramatic critic
should look at that from tho standpoint o
the dramatic stage and not that of th
arena.
I am ot tho opinion that If the peopl
who havo been go busy criticising mo would
quietly read ovor my artlclo they would
cool down before rushing Into print, and
thoy would perhaps realize that the musical
critic of The Heo Is trying to do his best for
the development ot music In Omaha, and Is
not trying to place any restrictions on th
pleasures of the people who do not ' care
to ngrco with him In his theories ot what
Is right
In order to foster the growth of good
music In the churches The Heo has de
elded to publish In this column on future
Sundays the titles of the offertories, th
anthems, the Te Deum nnd services, th
masses, etc., to be sung In tho vorlou
churches whero the music Is of a recognized
standard. The names of the soloists will
also appear. This Is an experiment, and
the church organists, choir lenders and
soloists aro hereby Invited to send to the
editorial rooms of The Heo such Informs
tlon as they desire printed each week, not
later thnn Friday night. Communications
to be mnrked "music."

Dean Campbell Fair of Trinity cathedral
hns returned from a three-months' tour
of Europe, during which he visited Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland and France. Tho
dean spent more tlmo In England than In
auy of the other countries, whero ho made
a special study ot social conditions, paying
particular attention to plans adopted by
church and state for tho relief of tho poor.
It was extromely gratifying to nolo tho
consideration the English have tor the dc
pondent classes," said tho dean. "Tho gov
ernmer.t has loaned money to corporations
which have constructed gigantic apartment
houses, where people of tho most limited
income can find accommodations, Somo of
these houses shelter 300 families nnd every
ono I investigated was In a clean, whole
some condition.
"These great buildings are mostly of
brick and stone and aro absolutely fire
proof. In one house I visited each apart
ment contained a wash room, kitchen, par
lor and three bed rooms, Water was pro
vided In the kitchen and wash room and
all the rooms wero lighted with gas. I In
quired concerning tho rental charge for
such an apartment and was astounded when
told that 75 cents a week wus all the fam
ily paid.
"Upon making Inquiry as to what per
centage such buildings yield I was told that
tho investors mako not less than 4 per cent
on their money. These houses aro to bo
found In London, Dublin and other lnrgu
cities under English rule. In appearance
they nro not unlike tho apartment houses
built In the United Stntes for tho accommo
latlon of porsons of largo means nnd In nil
renpects they are so superior to tho tene
ments Inhabited by tho humble In Amer
ica that one cannot but think that we have
much to learn from our English brothers.
Churchmen Arc Chnrltnlilo.
'Every church In England Is n well-or
ganlzed benevolent association. All church
men feel that they are under obligations
to enro for less fortunate persons nnd ills
pynso judicious charity. Aged peoplo com
mand moro respect than they do In America
nnd arc better cared for. In tho great
banks of England men are retired on a
comfortable salary after thirty years of
faithful servloo and there Is a bill pending
In parliament which provides a pension for
ovcry reputahlo citizen who Is moro than
6r rears old.
"In England, ns In America, young men
nro constantly forcing the old men out of
positions. Men who havo no savings bc-
como a public charge. Lord Chambcrlnlu
proposes to make every old man Inde
pendent by granting him a pension large
enough to keep him from tho nlmshouso.
Ills bill Is favorably spoken of In all parts
of England."
Feeling against the Boers runs very high
In England. Dean Fair says that the Eng
lish cannot bear to hear a good word
spoken of the Dutch. Englishmen contend
that tho Transvanl Is nothing but n de
pendency of Englnnd and say thnt during
tho Kaffir trouble Kruger sougth assist-
nnco from tho queen, who sent troops to
help tho South Africans and was instru
mental In defeating their enemies.
While in Paris Dean Fair saw the shah
of Persia several times and gives the fol
lowing description of tho oriental despot:
'Ho Is a man about 60 years old, his
complexion Is rery swarthy, as dark, In
fact, as that of a mulatto. He Is quite
fleshy and was dressed In a plain black
suit, the front of which was embellished
with a number of Jewelled medals. On
his head ho wore a regulation Turkish fez.
His carriage was guarded by an escort of
sovcral hundred soldiers. The soldiers
were not marching In columns, but were
bo placed that It would have been Impossi
ble for an assnssln to make his way to
the shah's carriage.
Nobility Kenrcil to Vlalt Exposition.
'When the shah first went to Paris he
thought It unnecessary to have an oscort.
An attempt was mado upon his llfo and ho
secured ft guard which covered a whole
block. Ho contemplated a trip to England,
but rumors of a plot to take his life In
England discouraged this Idea, All Eng
land nnd France aro excited over revealed
plots to murder members of the royal fam
ilies. The prlnco of Wales and other mem
bers of the nobility have been afraid to go
to the exposition.
"Tho failure of the royal families to go
to Paris Is ono of tho chief causes of the
financial falluro ot the exposition. Euro
peans do what the royalty does. During the
last Paris exposition the earnings ot the
London & Chnthnm railroad were increased
80,000 by tho travel of visitors who went
to Parts by way of Calais. This year there
hns been a deficiency of 00,000 In tho
earnings of the company. England hns prac
tically boycotted tho great exposition on
nccount of tho attitude of Franco In tho
Uoer war and the unkind things tho French
have said about Queen Victoria."
While In England Dean Fair heard much
nf the controversy which Is being cnrrled'on
by the radical protestants and the radical
ritualists In the Church of Englnnd. "Every
pnper Is filled with news of the sad con
test," said tho dean. "Tho protestants con
tend that the ritualists are drifting back
to Ilomanlsra and the ritualists deny the
charges. A church election Is to be held
In Novombor, when the two factions will
havo an opportunity to settle tholr dif
ferences." t Ante Room Echoes, h
During the last week every fraternal so
ciety of Omaha has received appeals from
brethren who suffered In the Galveston
storm and the calls for holp have In no
case boon made In valu. The heaviest
contributor to the Clalveston fund
nmong Omaha societies has been the sover
eign camp of the Woodmen of tho World,
whose contributions, beginning last Mon
day, havo avornged at least 11,000 a day
since thnt time.
The Woodmen of the World li the largest
fraternal society In Galveston, Its member
ship being nearly 600. It Is estimated that
nt least fifty policy holders lost their lives
and It Is possible tho October assessment
will be Increased to meet the death losses.
It may bo, howover, that by reason of tho
difficulty In perfecting claims tho payment
of the losses will bo extended over a period
long- enough to make an additional assess
ment unnecessary. As soon as the calamity
was reported the Woodmen camps at Hous
ton formed a relief association and this
body has handled the funds sent out by tha
