THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; SUNDAY, JULY 28, 1001. 13 Amusements With a performance thin afternoon and another tonight tho Ferris Stock company terminate lu summer engagement In thU city. Despite, the fact that the heat has been of such Intensity and prolonged dura tlon as to render almost any kind of an In door amusement venture unprofitable the Ferris company has played at Hoyd's thea ter continuously for ten weeks and would undoubtedly have remained longer had It not have been for the necessity of cloning the thcattr a month In advance of the opening of the regular season In order that It may be reflnlshcd Inside. Tho first few weeks of tho Ferris com pany's engagement were a success finan cially and not a failure artistically, when the nominal price of admission demanded Is Vept In mind. The balanco of tho engage ment can hardly be said to have been a financial success and doubtlesc Manngcr Bear finds himself out of pocket on the en tire season. This, however, Is not going to keep him from returning again, as he an nounces that If satlnfactnry arrangements can bo made for tho use of the theater he will open a summer stock season here next Way, The members of tho FerrU company scat ter all over tho country at the close of their engagement here. Mr. Ferris haa several compantos under his management, one In tho cast, ono In tho south, north and west. A few of tho members of the local company will Join somo one of his other organizations and some will remain with the western company, while others go east to accept positions In the different road companion that are Just now being or ganized, in leaving Omaha almost all of them havo plcarant words to say of the city and oxprcss a willingness and desire to re turn for a more prolonged engagement here next summer. A letter from Dlgby Hell, tho comedian, to a friend In Omaha says the hand of death haa fallen on the Dell hounchold at Mllford, Pa., where Mr. Dell went to spend fals vacation whllo waiting for rehearsals of Frank L. Porlcy's production of "The Chap crones." Tho Innocent victim of the grim reaper was Dlgby's kyc terrier Spot, widely known among Mr. IJcII'h theatrical friends In tho west for ten years past. Spot was a member of tho profession him self by right of histrionic Instinct and edu cation. On ono occasion ho Introduced a piece of original business In Iloyt'a "A Mid night Bell," In which Mr. Bell starred for a season, and after that was always a recognized member of tho company. In tho west tho dog divided honors with tho star as tho hero of numerous press agent stories. Chicago papers gave him a column onco when ho made a Zaza-halred chambermaid at ono of tho hotels duplicate Dan Daly's wardrobe disappearing act and Jwpt her treed for two hours until tho Bells returned from a drive. Amy Leslie, tho breezy Chicago writer, Interviewed Spot whenever tho Bells nppcarcd In Chicago and Qeorgo Ado Immortalized him In one of his Fablca In Slang. In his lettor Mr. Bell says: "Wo gave Spot as fine a funeral aa tho local under taker could get up. Tho comn woa not so much; I painted It myself, but there were real silver handles and the funeral proces Ion through tho back yard to the plumb trco made tho neighbors rubber out of their kitchen windows to eco what crime we were up to. I shall always cherish the memory of the dog, because ho was tho only friend to stand by me when tho minions of the law carried awny the scenery of the Dlgby Bell Opera company. Thcro Is a deputy sheriff In Chicago who will not be pained to hear of his death." ' Eugono Cowles, who returned from Lon don In tlmo for the annual "washing" of tho "Lambs" at Bayslde, L. I., this week, entertained his brother Lambs with a hard luck story on theatrical advertising In Lon don during the run of "The Fortune Toller" at tho Shaftabury. Cowles Is two weeks In advance of tho Klolsen Opera company, from which ho resigned owing to differences with autocratic Alice, which he refuses to discuss either In public or In private. Btorlca havo been known to float across the Atlantic beforo, however, and It Is per sistently rumored that Mr. Cowles, who waH the basso profundo of tho Nielsen company, would prefer to walk the side walks of Now York Indefinitely rather than elng again In tho same company with tho refractory prima donna. He hag signed with Frank L. Perley, who Is still Mis Nielsen's manager, but expects to be In another big organization, plans for which Mr. Perley bas hidden up his sleove. Adelaide Thurston, ono of next season's debutantes, who Is to star In "Sweet Clover," had somo Interesting things to say lately on tho subject of titles of plays: "It was a wise head who said 'The play Is the thing,' but I would meekly suggest that tho title Is something. I say this for the reason that many a good play has been snuffed out by an Inappropriate and repel lent title. "I recall a play ontltled "The Witch' and a very good play It was said to be, but tho titlo killed It as dead as the proverbial doornail. Nobody wanted to spend an evening with horrid old, writhing witches a fow minutes of them In Macbeth Is quite sunlclent. Then there was a play called 'The Idiot,' and another 'Anarchy.' Hor rors! "A prettlor play than 'When We Were Twenty-one' was never written. The title llko the play Is sweot and alluring. But that was not Its original namo. The au thor called It 'The Trinity.' but Mr. Nat C. Goodwin objected, contending that such a title would be offensive! and would give a wrong Impression of the unnracter of tho play. Ho wus right. A sacrilegious title for a delightful comedy would have been a serious mistake. "Tho tltlo should Indlcato the character of the drama, whether opera, burlesque, farco comedy, melodrama or tragedy. Wo know exnetly what to expect when we go to seo 'McFailden's Ilow of Flats' the namo Is a suro Index to tho character of tho piny; so also 'On the Qulot;' It tells Its own story. Such titles for an opera or molodrama would be fatal. 'The Danltes' was a great title, so also 'The Henrietta,' anl 'Tho Old Homestead.' Theso several plays with Inappropriate and Jarring titles would havo been dangerously handicapped. "Such plays as 'Lovers' Lane,' 'Sag Har bor,' 'A Peaceful Valley' and 'Way Down East' profit Immensely by their titles, which arc admirable It was on this ac count that I chose 'Sweet Clover' as the name for my new play." One of the latest whimsicalities of the petulant Alice Nielsen In London Is breezily described by one of the members of "The Fortuno Toller" company who returned on tho Mesaba last week. The woman says as tho close of the London engagement drew near haughty Alice Is said to have grown more dictatorial with each performance. "When she 'learned that Mr. Williams had arrived," says this dear friend, "Alice went to Oscar llarrett and gave him an order not to permit Mr. Williams to come back on tho Btagc. She wouldn't stand for It. "Well, that made a hit with all of us. Oeorgo Bowles simply yelled and Mr, Bar rett didn't see how wo could keep the man who owned the show from going on the stage. When Mr, Williams rame Mr. Bowles brought him back and we rushed at him as if he was a long lost father. When Alice saw the bunch crowding around Tom she wiled by with her nose In the air and a terrible case of stiff neck. It was all so funny to me, for I remember when she used to sing at the Old Wigwam in 'Frisco, the 10-cent dive. It was only a little later that Mr. Perley took her from the Tlvoll and with Tom Williams' money boomed her Into a prima donna." Geographically considered this season Is going to be widely diversified. It Is quite unnecessary to explain the locale of Mr. Tim Murphy's new play, "A Capitol Com edy," and McNally's farce, "Rogers Brothers In Washington." Charles Froh man will personally conduct a company through Augustus Thomas' "Colorado;" C. I. Callahan presents a series of dramatic episodes for visitors to "Pennsylvania;" Mary Manncrlng will be seen In "Craus tack," an undiscovered country; no doubt the musical merrymakers In "The Ex plorers" and "The Strollers" will open up new realms of enjoyment and an enterpris ing manager has arranged to bring "Ver mont" to all the stay-at-homes who can not hope to travel as far as the Green Mountain state. (.'iiniln-c Ivvrnla, Sweltering humanity will congregate at tho popular Kmg park again today In Just as large numbers as It l possible for the street cars to handle. Sunday Is always the biggest dny of the week and as each succeeding ono has grown a little larger the management expects another new rec ord for big attendance today, the street railway company having promised to run Its limit of cars. The "Passion Play" continues to enlist the greatest Interest of any feature in the park. This celebrated sacred drama, depleting tho story of the life of Christ, appeals to nearly everybody and draws hundreds of people that manifest no Interest In the ordinary amusement of fering. Among these are many members of tho ministry. During the projection of "Mary at thn Tomb of Christ," "Peter De nying tho Mnstcr" and other scenes, cll mnxlng with the crucifixion, Mr. Snyder re cites tho story with a clear and pleasing voice. The Lorenz band has scored a hit and Is popular with everybody, still Improvement In this organization Is not being over looked. Two musicians with established reputations wcro added to Its roster dur ing the past week. Afternoon and evening concerts, with programs ranging from rag time to Wagner, furnish plenty of 'fine music for the lover of harmony. The fad of bowling Is on tho Increase. The four alleys at the park are nearly al ways crowded and among the exponents there are nearly as many women as men. Klfle shooting Is another featuro that has a growing patronage. No trace of the recent flro Is left. Now pumps have bocn Installed to furnish the water supply and as none of the pavilions or amusement devices was damaged the whole park Is In Just as good shape as be foro tho fire. The list of free attractions that Is to be offored at Lake Manawa has Increased. A grand scenic production of famous Ameri can battles Is to be given In the casino under the direction of C. O. Hamilton. Artists and carpenters are at work re building the Interior of the big theater. Mechanical and electrical machinery Is be Ing Installed and over three tons of spe cial scenery will be used In the production. Tho setting for the first act will repre sent tho deck of the battleship Olympla. The scenery for this setting was painted by Percy Jones of Milwaukee and Is a faith ful reproduction of the great English sta tion at Hong Kong. Musical selections will be given by various artists, who will be dressed In the garb of marines. H. Goodman will Impersonate Admiral Dewey. It. Temple will Impersonate Captain Rid ley. Dewey's famous battle In Manila bay will be reproduced during the second act. The battleship Olympla will sail la full view of the audTence and fire a salute. Dalby's concert band will play during the pro ductlon.

Mr. William Sey mour has I ecu engaged to produce th play In con;unctlcn with the author. Musical Mr. Thomas J. Kelly, musical editor of The Beo, went out of town last night hum ming a few fragmentary bars and stitches of "Slide, Kelly, Slide." He said he was going to Chicago to rem alp a few days. Since Mr. Kelly has slid it devolves upon me, his understudy, to write the musical column In this Issue of The Bee. I am not long on music, but having absorbed some what the personality of Mr. Kelly I will do the best I can. One day shortly after I hired to Mr. Kelly si his understudy he called me Into his studio and said: "In your writing I want you to pay at tention to my style and follow It as closely as possible. In short, I want you to saturate yourself with my personality and reflect It In all of your musical crit icisms." I replied that I would try the saturation process suggested, but I asked Mr, Kelly if he thought he had employed me to serve as his sponge. He threw a tambourine at me, tut It didn't take effect. Mr. Kelly and I do not agree as to certain kinds of music. I heard him say one night about half past twelve o'clock that he wouldn't wipe his feet on "Goo Goo Eyes." He said It was ragtime. Just because Mr. Kelly wears silk hosiery and gets his laundry done at a shop whero they charge 12 cent's for washing a 39 cent shirt be Is fcrnlnst ragtime. As for me, 1 think ragtime Is the proper thing. Mr. Kelly has even got his hammer out against "I Wants Ma Black Baby Back." He told me one day that such a Jingle was not music. I think he colled It rot. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Delisted! are somewhat chummy, but Mr. Kelly plugged up his ears with sterilized cotton tho night Mr. Bell stedt turned loose on ragtime. Mr. Bell stedt explained that It was to please the public and not because ho liked ragtime himself. That couscd Mr. Kelly to repeat the words said by a famous man about the pub lic a few years ago. No use spelling It out loud. It would get this column out of tune. I don't know why Mr. Kelly went to Chi cago. Ho didn't say very much about It be foro he started. He simply wroto back after he was gone for me to represent him during his absence and that's nhat I am trying to do. I am not going to play the big pipe organ at his. church today, however. That's too much llko work. One time when Mr. Kelly was co-operating with an orchestra he wanted the leader to start something soft and mellow and he said: "Now, Mr. Leader, give me a fow bars and stitches and play on the soft pedal" Just as though the horns had pedals. The leader was a strong-armed fellow and the noise was too loud for Mr. Kelly. "I don't want an exhibition of physical culture," he exclaimed. That held the orchestra man for awhile. If the general public Is with me In my crusade for ragtime let it speak out and an effort will be made to suppress Mr. Kelly and his hammer. At least he ought to put a little velvet on his hammer. The way ho Is knocking now tho anvil will not last much longer. MR. KELLY'S UNDERSTUDY. Ante Room Echoes The coming event In lodge circles Is the visit of the California Knights Templars from California Commandery No. 1, San Francisco, who are to arrive In Omaha Thursday, August 22, and remain for ten hours. Mt. Calvary commandery will enter tain the visitors and It Is expected that the visitors will entertain Omaha, for It the present plans are carried out they will give an exhibition drill at one of the public parks In full regalia, such a drill as. they vlll put up at Louisville a few days later when they will compete for the prize of fered for the best drilled team In the United States. Tho members of California commandery are royal good fellows. They were In Omaha on their way to Pittsburg tho year of the Transmlsslsslppl exposition and their reception then left so favorable an Impression that Omaha was placed upon their Itinerary as soon as they decided to make the trip. Arrangements are not yet made for their reception, but as Mr. Lln lnger has tendered the local commandery the use of his residence for the visitors and all other preparations will be In keeping with that, there Is no doubt that the recep tion and ball which will follow will be the most pleasant event of the season In tho city. - The Scotchmen of Omaha are to be In evidence Saturday and at Pries lake there will be the drone of pipes and the lively steps of the strathspey and reel from early morn till In the gloamln', for there and then will be held the annual picnic of Clan Gordon, Order of the Scottish Clans. There will undoubtedly be games and contests dear to tho hearts of the men from the north. Carryalls will leave Thirtieth street and Ames avenue every half an hour after 9:30 a. m. Lilian Temple No. 1, Rathbone Sisters, will give a lawn social Wednesday evening at the residence of J. R. Stlne, 3108 Vinton street. The annual picnic of the Fraternal Union of America at Blair Thursday was a great success, many members being present from all of the lodges connected with the picnic association. The first prize for the .Uni form degree was won by Magic City team. New officers of the association were elected as follows: George Ostrom of Omaha, president; C. W. Kalteler of Omaha, secre tary; M. Shaffer of Fremont, treasurer; C. O'Hanlon of Blair, first vice president; P. Johnson of South Omaha, second vice pres ident. The time and place for the next picnic will be announced by the officers. FUNERAL OF MRS. BURKET Pioneer Presbyterian Dies at Barllna--toa and Is Laid to Rest In For est Lawn, Omaha. Mrs. Julia A.

Henry of Gosport, Ind., repub lican candidate for auditor of state, Is an Omaha visitor. Mr. Henry Is a close per sonal friend of Senator Fairbanks, well known to Nebraska republicans, and he ex presses the opinion that Senator Fairbanks stands a good chance for the republican presidential nomination. "Everywhere I go," said Mr. Henry, "I hear expressions of sentiment In favor of Senator Fairbanks, and I believe he Is likely to be tho coming man." CALLS C0UNTY COMMITTEE Repnbllcan Organisation Wilt Meet Next Satarday Afternoon for Preliminary Work. Chairman Ostrom or the republican county central committee has Issued a call for a meeting of the committee at Washington ball at 1:30 o'clock next Saturday after noon. The principal business to come before the meeting will be the arrangement for the se lection of 144 delegates from this county to the republican state convention, to be held at Lincoln on August 21 HISTORY OF CITY MISSION Iti Ohickirtd Oareer OtTtn Mara Than Quarter af Ganttrj. PERSONNEL OF ORIGINAL ORGANIZATION How rvr Ilrnnches of the Work Some Vesrs Ann Wiped Oat a tlnllillns; Fund anil Dlscnnrnssed Old-Timer. The announcement that the old Omaha city mission Is about to pass Into other hands recalls to the minds of the older residents of Omaha the organization and history of the Institution and the peoplo who carried on Its effectual work for almost a quarter of a century. Many of them have long since passed on, but have left as monuments to their memory some of tho city's most prosperous and enduring Insti tutions. Realizing the necessity for some concerted action in behalf of tho city's poor a baud of earnest men and women met in the fall of 1875 and organized the Omaha City Mission association, Its object, as stated In the articles of Incorporation, being "to visit the sick and poor, to relieve the destitute, conduct religious services In the destitute district of the city, furnish Christian lit erature and In every way promote tho Inter est of the Christian religion by active Christian work." The organization was entirely nonscctar Ian, being composed of members of every denomination, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Jardlne, Dr. C. G. Monell, Rev. McCague, Alexander Charleton, James France, Thsmas Bonner, John T. McCague, C. S. Reynolds, Mrs. P. II. Sharp, Mrs. Wil liam Lehmcr, Mrs. Mary E. Gratton and many others. The mission consisted of Sabbath and sewing school classes and a relief depart ment. Tho sewing classes were held every Saturday morning during tho fall, winter and spring months, and here the daughters of the poor were taught to make their own clothing, being allowed to keep each gar ment they completed. Tho materials wcro furnished by the merchants of the city and the donations were liberal and regular. All of tho classes were largo and not long aftor the work had become well started an old school building was given to the board and moved onto the lot between Dodge and Capitol avenuo on Tenth street. The use of the lot was given by Dr. G. C. Monell. The relief work was an Important branch of the mission and worked out from tho families of the mission children to the poor of the entire, city, continuing in successful operation until the organization of the As sociated Charities In 1S92. The mission owned a lot In Prospect Hill cemetery and many of the mission children are burled there. The organization was also In charge for several years of the annual contribution of Omaha's liberal and mod est citizen, "Cash K." Some of the Workers, Among the active workers In the classes were: Mrs. Doollttle, Miss Doollttle, now Mrs. William Fleming; Miss Loveland, afterward Mrs. Andrew VanKuran, Miss VanKuran, now Mrs. John McCague; Miss Fannie Graff, Miss Jcsslo Millard, Mrs. El liot, Miss Mary Millard, now Mrs. Dr. Glf ford; Miss Carrie Millard, Miss Brown, now Mrs. Alfred Millard; Mrs. S.

Clark following her successively. This brought the work up to 1S92, whon somu of tho members In. opposition to tho Judgment of tho older ones who had con ducted the work so long and successfully, believing them too conservative, called a meeting of citizens and reorganized tho association. Itathcr than create strife tho old members submitted to tho new order of things and for a tlmo the work branched out and seemed to cover every need of tho city. Notable among the new enterprises was the lodging placo for tramps In tho old Academy of Music. This prosperity did not continue long and the new organization soon found Itself in n very embarrassing financial condition. Tho new branches were closed and even the funds which had been contributed by citizens to the old board for tho purpose of erecting a new building for the mission were used to square the obligations contracted In the new enter prises and then tho work was practically suspended. Again the old members rallied and un dertook tbo original work, but as many of tho original workers bad gono and some wcro chagrined and discouraged by the loss of the funds and tho failure of tho work the old-time enthusiasm was never revived. While tho old organization still exists It has been Inoperative for somo time and last year the old building was turned over to the Woman's Christian Temperance union and now, under tho direction of Miss Magee, with now helpers, tho most successful chll dren's industrial work of tho city Is being carried on.
