too solid to be cltmml ax musical comedy,
and too Inane to be clamed aa comlo opera.

But tha fire of hla genius bums aa brightly
aa ever, and his rare intelligence and ar

' narliana. that Mr. Jefferson has discov
ered, but It Is a well-aprlng of longevity, i
; and he baa been most prodigal In sharing
It with the public. "Here Is to your good
health and your famlly't health, and may
you all live long and prosper." Is not an
empty formula, with him. He laugha and
wants the world to laugh with him. Na
ture endowed blm with the most blessed
of gifts, a kindly disposition and an
optimistic spirit, and he alwaya keeps his
eyes on the bright aide of things. During
his Uty years of aotive life as an actor

and has been chastened by sorrows and
felt the pangs of disappointment, but 'he

have only record of one Joe Jefferson.
Recognition of this fact tinges with sadness

announced no farewell appearance, tut ex
pects to go on to the very end. He has
regulated his work to his capacity, and

fate of Katusha Maslova, Miss Blanche
Walsh was sitting In her dressing room
talking In a chatty way about her play
ond her plans. "I like the part for the
opportunity It gives me." she said. "It

think, and .you know, that la something.
Don't you think that a play that seta
people to studying Is doing some good? It
must be. I am an admirer of Tolstoy, of
course, but I much prefer Oorky. Yes, I
know. Oorky Is despondent, his pictures
are gloomy, and all that sort, and he
doesn't undertake to offer 'any cure; but

broad strokes, and ,1s tut jo life. I do
not know what my next play will be, but
I hope U wUl be something lighter than
I have had for man years. We are
looking for some modern play In which the
heroine has a chance. I have had to die
every time but this once, and it becomes
somewhat tiresome. Of course the plays
have been good, but It seems It would
never do to let me live. I don't mind
dying, but you know I would like to have
one coma out right and give me a chance
at future happiness." Miss Walsh laughed
merrily over the fate the dramatists have
provided for the heroines she has had to
present, and asked how the Omaha, women
withstood the wind, which at that moment
was sweeping freely through the open
window In her dressing room, blowing her
hair about apd generilly disporting Itself
as the Indian summer tephyr Is wont to
do. "I suppose I oould get accustomed to
it, too," she answered, "but I don't be

declined to discuss the rumor that she Is
to present "Motina Vanna" In English at
the close of her present tour.

"Burled at Bea," a melodrama written
by that prolific author of "thrillers," Theo.
dore Kremer, will be the offering at the
Boyd Wednesday, matinee and night and
Thursday night. The plot Is said to be
on brand new melodramatic llnea and re
plete with dark deeds and heroic actions In
keeping with the new plot.
Much Interest Is being csntared about the
engagement of Virginia Hamed at the
Boyd Friday and Saturday nights and
Saturday matinee of thla week Jn "Iris,"
the Plnero piny, In which she wss starred
by Mr. Charles Frohman last season and
which caused considerable comment. "The
Second Mrs. Tanquerny," Plnero's earlier
work, la the picture of the retribution that
awaits the woman who has led the life
of a Paula Tanqueray and tries to step
out of It. "Iris" is a picture of how a
good woman, but weak, la drawn Into that
life. "Iris," on the contrary, la said to
be all mercilessly true-iprobably too true
In Its living, breathing picture of the
weak and the sordid. Jftlss Harned comes
to the Boyd surrounded by her original
company with but two exceptions. The
company consists of William Courtenay,
Ethel Wlnthrop, Margaret Oordon. Mable
Binder, J. Hartly Meuners, Stanley Dark.
Elizabeth Goodall. Frederick Burt, Law
rence Erldtnger, Eleanor Sanford. Harry
Lewis and Amy Meers.
The bill, opening for a wenk with a mat!
nee luoay at tne urpneum, embraces a.
playette, aong, dance, varied comedy, acro
batics nnd mlnetrelry. The headline-feature
will be Wright Huntington, supported
by his own little company, including Florida
Klngsley and Alex. Kearney. Mr. Hunt
ington will be seen In two plays dutlng the
engagement. For the first half of the
week he will present his new sketch en
titled "A Stand Off," and for the latter
half his card will be "A Stolen Kiss,"
which has served him more successfully
than anything he has attempted since
eschewing the "legitimate." The Schenk
Brothers, a resent importation of the
Orpheum company, are powerful, agile
athletes. Hand to hand, .head to head and
tosBlng acrobatic feats of the difficult sort
constitutes their turn. It Is not often a
claimant to blue blood appears, but with
stresa laid on the point aa well as her
singing in a saprano voice, Prlncesa Los
oros introduces hereelf ns a scion of royal
stock from India. Charles Ernest, the well
known minstrel, will contribute a mono
logue of his rwn. An aerial feature w.ll
be furnished by the Rio Brothers, who
scored a "hit" on the Spanish rings at thla
theater two years ago. Bryant and Savllle
are musicians who Intermix their playing

Harry Clay Blaney and hla big produc
tion, "Across the Pacific," comes to ths
Krug theater for the first half of the week,
commencing this .afternoon. The play eo
far this season has broken all Ita previous
records of attendance, which, considering I
that the piece is four years old, la at least
unusual. Among the players this season
will be found Harry Fenwick, Frederick
Ormonde. D. E. Hanlon, John E. Kelly, Ed- j

"At Cripple Creek" Is booked for an en

of the week, opening Thursday night. This
play deals with life In the Rocky moun

In the salon of Martin Maaon, called the
"Temple of David." Act II shows Joe May

fourth and last act Is laid In Joe's new

tiUSIC AND MUSICIANS
In last Sunday's edition of The Bee there
appeared an article In this column upon
"Flowers which are born to blush unseen
And as the space wss limited, and I had no
ssld hslf of what I wanted to say upon the
subject. I tske the liberty of running the
following remarks aa a kind of "second sec.
umn to my nrsi train oi imiutm. ,
In addition to the accompanists who so
often are born to blush unseen and tha
authora and composers of songs and others
already alluded to, there are many others
which come under our consideration.
For Instance, there Is the one who la
always encouraging the music, student
There Is that one person In the audience
when she sings or plays who will always
find some enjoyment In tho work. Though
all else should criticise, though all else
should find fault, there will be the one,
who knows; the one who, maybe, is fur
nishing a large part of the force whloh Is
bringing the result from the singer or
player.
Blessed are the comforters. E'en though
they blush unseen.
In a conversation with a very dear friend
whose loved one had recently "Joined the
choir Invisible," I remarked some months
ago, "Well, you may certainly look up to
day and rejoice In the thought that when
she, whom your soul did love, was here
you never left undone anything that could
In any way minister to her wants music
ally." I reminded him that many a time
had I heard comments about his constant
devotion to her musical alma and Ideals.
He never was too tired to go with her to
a concert, a musicals or a rehearsal. He
was one of those blessed "comforters,!'
flowers that are born to blush unseen, and
flowers which are so rsre, so valuable that
I could not help continuing thla thought
of last week, tn order to mention them.
When I see a man sitting away at the
back of the church on a rehearsal night
I do not ask what he ie doing there. I
know he la one of the comforters, the en
couragers, and he ia doing his little part
In promoting the world's beauty and happi
ness and advancement.
I know women who are encouraged In
this way, who are stimulated by their hus
bands to the best work, be It playing the
piano or harp, or tinging a song or an
aria. These women do not know how much
the man in the cose Is doing toward their
development
Let them talk to other women (whom I
also know) whose husbands are apathetic.
Indifferent or, aa In tome extreme cases,
even opposed to the development of the
talents which may be entrusted to their
loved ones. As though that would prevent
talent developing.
No mortal can stay the hand of talent.
It will come out tome day, sure as fate, and
you had better be a supporter, an encour
ager, a comforter of another's talent, be

sume the responsibility of compelling a
person to bury a talent, without he Incur
the penalty of being "cast out Into outer

the darkness of Ignorance.
In the second place, ask any man who la
encouraging hla wife, or sister, or daugh
ter to develop talent, ask him If he hat
yet regretted the course he Is preparing.

many husbands, fathers and brothere have
told me, that his own Interest In music haa

of the good things In art, and his enjoy

that there, la In music Just one more bond

Ists, give them a holiday, In your thoughts,
and look around and tee those dear people,
who never stand up alone, and who are
necessary, who are the life, the might, the
strength of the choir, ana wno are too
often flowert that blush unseen.
And then.' If yotir choir Is a robed choir,
there Is the fragrant but unseen presence
of some one person who sees that every
gown la etralghtly worn, that the cotta
or the collar Is fresh, that, in short, tnere
Is nothing to mar the general effect.
' And there is the librarian. How unseen
he Is, and yet how skillfully his work Is
done; how muslo It kept In repair, an-J
how Strang It teems that we never uo
tioed before that someone must be secretly
responsible for the fact that no person gets
the wrong sheet of muslo.
But enuugh. It ut apply thla thought

As far os we are concerned, let us see
that their fragrance Is not wasted!

I have received a very InteresUng letter
from a lady who asks many questions In
said letter, and the letter Ja so Interesting,
so honest snd so evidently earnest, that I
will try to find room to publish the letter
Itself, without slgnsture, and comments
thereon In reply. In this column next week.
There Is always much Joy In heralding
the advent of a new musician who cornea In
honestly. without flourish. newspaper
"rushes" or any thin of the tort, one who
rpmet tn and rails upon the critic of the
leading newspapers and Introduces himself
purely on hit merits.
Of such is Mr. P. Msrtnus Paulson, who
has Just come from Chicago, where he his
lived for years snd has enjoyed the oppor
tunities of studying with great teachers of
the violin. Mr. PauUen la a violinist who
will rejoice the hearts of musical people
and his own fellow artists. We welcome
him Into full membership. He will open a
studio downtown. I heard Mr. Paulsen play
last week and his playing was thoroughly
satisfactory In all points that I am capable
of noticing.
The next musical event of consequence
will be the Buranoe Adams concert at the
Boyd, under the auspices of the Young
Men's Christian sssoclstlon, on November
1 Students, especially vocalists, will please
allow me to advise them moat urgently, to
go and hear thit concert. Mr. Willis has a
few dosen seats now. which, oau be had at
the Young Man's Christian aawxiatfi.
Mlas Adams will be assisted by a fine

j Mrs. T. J. King, of 1518 North Twentieth-eighth street, says: "Three
weeks before I got Doan's Kidney Pills, at Kuhh tt Co's. drug 'store,'
corner of Fifteenth and Douglaa atreets, I could hardly crawl about the
house on account of pain In the small of .my back. I wore plasters all the
time, but they did me no good. When sitting or reclining I could scarcely
get on my feet and I attribute the cause to an accident when I fell off
the sidewalk, broke a limb .and Injured my back. Doan's Kidney Pills at
first helped me and finally disposed of the last attack. It requires very
little Imagination to reason that what benefitted tne so' greatly, can be
depended upon tp the future should recurrences take place."

Women's Woes
It.does Bcern that women have more than a fair share
of the aches and pains that effect humanity; they must
'keep up," must atteud to daily duties in spite of con
btant aching back, of headaches, dizzy upells, bearing
down pains, they must stoop over, when to toop means
torture. They must walk and bend and work with rack
ing pains and many aches from kidney ills.
Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of
the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is eawly
maintained. Kead of ft remedy for kidneys only, that
helps and cures the kidneys, and is endorsed by people
