' in Proceedings.
Thomas Gillespie of South Omaha made
his periodical appearance In Judge Vlnson
haler's court, this time as the defendant
In an action brought by William Binderup
aY Co. of this city for the recovery of 150
as the price of 2,000 cigars sold to Mr. Gil
lespie several months ago by the com
pany's agent, L. 11. Hyman.
Mr. Gillespie is a true son of Erin and
doesn't care who knows it. Among his
other peculiarities Is a penchant for try
ing his own lawsuits, of which he has had
several and which are always a source of
much amusement to bench and bar
alike. In the present case Mr. Gil
lespie insisted that as he had no
witnesses the plaintiffs should put
Mr. Hyman upon the stand to be cross
examined by himself. When it was ex
plained to him by the- court that this
could not be done, but that he could call
Mr. Hyman as his witness, he cheerfully
compiled with the suggestion of the court
and Mr. Hyman was accordingly sworn,
and thereupon ensued a double cross-examination
with a strong Hebraio accent on
the one side and an Irish brogue on the
other that set at defiance every known
rule of law with regard to the examination
of witnesses and made big drops of per
spiration stand out on the forehead of the
court reporter who attempted to keep
track of who was who and .which was
what. Judge Vlnaonhaler attempted one
or two interjections as to the method of
procedure, but was promptly overruled and
finally subsided.
Gillespie Opens Fire.
"Didn't you tell me that If I'd let you
leave thlm cigars so you could make a
bluff wld yer boss that you'd buy a drink
for the crowd an' take 'em back blmeby?"
sternly demanded Gillespie.
"I never said I'd take 'em back," said
Hyman.'
"Well, you did buy a drink for the house,
didn't ye?" insisted the questioner.
"Yes, and a bum drink It was, too!"
"There ye are, yer honor," said Gillespie.
"Now, what would he be buyln' a drink
fur if he wasn't going to take thim cigars
back? Tell me that, yer honor."
"The trouble with you is," vouchsafed
the witness, "you didn't get a license and
now you want to go back on your trade."
"I didn't ask for no license,' shouted
Gillespie, triumphantly.
'What are you going to do with all that
whisky you had?" asked the witness.
'I'm going to drink it, bedad, and It's
dlvll a drop of it you'll gltl"
"Then, why don't you smoke the cigars
you bought of me?" .
'What, smoke thlm cabbages! Well, I
guess not," shouted the other, holding up
both hands. -
'They were good enough for your custo
mers, though, weren't they?" asked the
witness.
And so the crossfire went on until It had
developed that Gillespie had contracted for
the cigars o fat as the law was concerned,
and Judgment was accordingly entered for
the plaintiff to recover the amount sued for.

It would seem sufficiently daring to ask
this materialistic age to believe that mira
cles were ever enacted, without undertaking
to actually present one on the stage, "In
full view of the audience," as the old play
bills would have it. And yet this Is just
what Justin Huntly McCarthy proposed,
and what Mr. F. H. Sothern has accom
plished. "The Proud Prince" gives us a
miracle In the first and in the last acts,
and each is done so neatly and so expe
ditiously that we cheerfully accept the
trickery as being essentially of the realm
of art. For even art resorts to subterfuges;
the Corinthian column was not straight,
but only appeared to be, its symmetry
being cunningly distorted with the very
purpose that the sense of sight be cheated.
And we applaud the' result in that case,
and we applaud the result in this, and the
end accomplished by either is thorough
Justification for the means.
Between the two miracles Mr. Sothern
gives us the pleasure of his art, not de
signed in any regard to deceive, but at
all points calculated to delight the senses,
but appealing as directly to the Intellect
as to the emotions. Robert of Sicily Is an
Imperious prince, and Is animated by all
the unholy desires that could spring from
an active mind thoroughly given over to
Indulgences of the flesh. He Is brought so
low that he grovels and the real miracle
Is wrought, for the evil nature of the man
Is changed, and through repentance and
love he wins his way back to his throne.
The contrast between the oonditlon of the
king in his pride and the king stricken Is
drawn so sharply In the first act as to be
painful in its Intensity. His appearance
among the courtesans, where he expects
to find at least one loyal friend, sees him
In the very depths' of mental anguish, his
rebellious nature still refusing to believe
what his senses , have not yet taught
him, further accentuates the impression.
When he sees himself In the fool's garb,
with the fool's misshapen form and repul
sive lineaments, he is moved by the single
Impulse of desire that some one else shall
suffer, too, and lights again on the Inno
cent girl who had.scprned his proffer; at
the very instant, when he seems about to
triumph, his rglumtlon begins, 'and her
is shown one of tne"best touches in characi
ter-developmnnt ever achieved by an actor.
It is not a trick of speech, not a gesture,
not a movement ot the body, but something
that seems to combine all that Mr. Sothern
employs to denote the change. The spoken
word is merefy an accompaniment ot the
more powerful suggestion of the subtle
change In his demeanor. In another mo
ment he kneels at the girl's feet, and from
then he works up a capital climax. In the
third act, when his penitent soul pours
out Its anguish in his "Mea culpa," It
seems that enough has been done, but the
proud prince is taken to the very depths
ot mental and spiritual anguish, before his
prayer Is answered. It Is with sublime
resignation that he goes to offer himself
as a sacrifice for the girl he finally loves
with the passion he so eloquently describes,
and while the whole action of the final act
Is melo-dramatlc, it la so well devised that
It does not appear to mar the symmetry
of the whole. A very slight deviation from
the right course either way would turn the
satisfactory finish, Into a howling farce, so
nicely are the conditions valued and bal
anced in the finale. ,
Mr. Sothern shows himself still a mas
ter of the little details of stagecraft, as
well as of the greater essentials of his
art. He knows that it is trifles that make
or mar, and he is conscientiously particu
lar as to the minute things. His part is
exceedingly well done.
One hesitates to tell what is vouched for
as a fact by both Mr. Sothern and his
manager, Mr. Kennedy, that Miss Laurel
has only been playing the part of Perpetua
two weeks, and that It is her first part.
She was a supernumerary with the com
pany until a very little time back, and a
fortnight ago she was aisked to take the
leading woman's role. So well does she do
It 4hat she might easily make people be
lieve she had been acting during the whole
of her eighteen years of life. 6he has the
charms of nature, and a sweet but power
ful and resonant voice, and won much
praise by her acting last night. . Miss
Warner, who Is called upon to enact the
somewhat thankless part of the queen ot
the Syracusan half-world, enters on her
work with an artistic conception of Its
value to the whole play, and does It with
good tsste. She is assisted by a band of
nymphs who might easily bring Joy to the
life of a monarch as exacting as Robert
the Bad.
More than a word of praise Is deserved
by John Findlay for his enactment of the
court fool. In every way he is good.
Others In the long cast add to the general
excellence of the whole. The piece is most
artistically mounted, the setting each of
the four acts being beautiful In design' snd
execution. A very large audience wss
present last night and gave Mr. Sothern
and his associates unstinted spplause.

HOUSE IS ROBBED IN0AYTIrVrE
Dr. Clereland'a Home Is Entered and
Plaadered While Family Is at
Mean Meal.
Thieves entered the residence of Dr.
Luella S. Cleveland, 2119 Seward street, st
noon Tuesday and after ransacking the two
uppsr floors succeeded in making their es
cape with 140 and an open-faced gold
watch. The description of a young man
whose movements in the neighborhood
aroused suspicion have been given to the
police, who are working on the case.
At the time of the robbery Mrs. Cleve
land and the family were at dinner down
stairs. The front door, It is said, was then
unlocked, and through this entrance the
Intruders are supposed to have gained their ,
way. j
The first Intimation that anything was
wrong was when Mrs. Cleveland went up
stairs after the noon meal. Ehe found on
both ef the upper flours every drawer anj
receptable had been turned out on th
floor and a complete, though hasty, ierh
made for valuablea
The money that waslaken had been klt
in a small bos In one of the recesxes of
Dr. Cleveland's writing desk. The watc.i
was the property of the son of Grant V
Hutlon, who occupies part of the house.
A few minutes before the robbery a young
man pushed open the front door of the
adjoining house, the residence of Joseph B.
West and met Mr. West's young daughter
In the hallway. The girl ssked the man
what he wanted and the Intruder said he
was looking for a man, giving a name that
was unfamiliar In the neighborhood. The
fact that the man gained entrance to the
West house without the usual formality of
admittance, lends color to the suspicion
that he Is the man who entered the Cleve
land house.

The Toung Men's Christian association
delegates have returned from the interna
tional convention at Buffalo. They will re
port on the session at the next regular
meeting, and it Is understood they are un
able to make any suggestions aa to the sec

inent men of the association to this great
gathering in order to meet there the secre
taries from all over the country and to re

scarcity of available secretaries. All the
good men had good positions. It Is thought
