ABOUT PLAYS, PLAYERS AND PLAYHOUSES
One doesn't Ilka to think of the theater
and the "corn" weather at the urae time,
but that la what we are to hare tier just
the same. Thla afternoon the regular
winter season will be opened at the Krutf
and on next Sunday the Doytl will fall
Into ltn. There will be no hlatua at the
Hoyd this yoar, for the Woodward Stock
company wHf succeed the Ferris Stock
company during- the present week and
next Sunday "The Eurajomastef" will open
the regular season. The Ferrla Stock com
pany has had a most prosperous summer.
Its business betne; (rood from the Terr
start, and even the Inst week showing up
very well lr the matter of attendance.
This Is In a lnrpe measure due to the
personal popularity of the leading mem
bers of the company, lome of whom have
benn coming ' here for three summers and
all of whom have made many worm per
ioral frlenda In the city, who take a keen
delight In the success of the company.
Messrs. Hudson & Judah, who direct the
destinies of the Krug, were up from Knn
as City during- the week and took a look
over the lrtcaj situation. They had no an
nouncements to mnke, other thr.n the
house will continue to be run as a popular
jirlceheater and promise the beat of at
tractions at the figures. No Hot of book
Inns will be given out, but the firm a
aures Ita patrons that a full line of stnnd
ar1 attractions will be shown during the
aeason. Two plays a week will be put
on, the same as last season. The under
standing reached between Klw & Er
langer and Stair & Havlln tflll Jiave no j
effect on the Krug, unless It be to bring a
little better grade of attraction here. Vant
season was something In the nature of an
experiment, the firm seeking to develop
Just what Omaha would stand for. It Is
violating no Confidence when the state
ment la Biado that some of the attractions
were Just about the limit In one direction,
while some of tho others were far above
what one expects under the classification
of "popular price." The business was gen
erally good and reason exists for. the be
Jlof that the managing firm will show Its
appreciation if local patronage by giving
the beet It has to offer.

the attractions In the order In which they
will appear at tr-e theater. "The Burgo
master" will open the season and Ethel
Barrjmore In "Cousin Kitty" will come
next. The coming of the others will be
announced In due season.
Generally speaking, the proapect for the
coming season are good. The customary
slump attendant on a general election ap
pears to have been discounted and the
barrenness of Inst year has spurred the
producing managers on to undertakings
of some magnitude. Announcements of
new plays are already coming thick and
fast from New Tork and many revivals
are promised. Just what will be done can
not be stated positively yet, but It is
certain that more new plays, will be tried
out before Christmas than any time In
several yeara. Almost every one of the
old stars Is to have , a new piece and
those who go out In old ones will be given
new settings, so that the opening of the
season will be of brilliance at least. Every
where the summer season has been a pros
perous one and managers have In a large
measure recouped themselves for the
heavy losses sustained during the fall and
early winter of 1903. Word from New Tork
Is to the effect that all the magnates of
the "show" business are eager for the be
ginning of the season and look forward
to a large share In the continued pros
perity of the country at large.
Manager . Burgess of the Boyd theater
returned last night from a hurried trip
to New Tork. where he consulted with
regard to the bookings for his theater dur
ing the coming winter. He announces the
following sixty-nine attractions as being
under contract to appear at the Boyd dur
ing the next forty weeks:

Beginning with a matinee this afternoon
at the Uoyd theater the Woodward Btock
company, from the Auditorium at Kansas
City, will play a week's engagement. For
the first half of the week Bartley Camp
bell's well known melodrama, "The Galley
Slave." will be the offering. On Thursday
night the bill will be changed to "Divorce."
The company has had a very successful
season at Kansas City, and Is said to be a
strong on. Its membership Includes Wal
ter Marshall, Thomas Da vies, Reginald
Barker. H. Guy Woodward. Robert Bur
gess, Mark Fenton. Eva Jjang. Lulu Mo
Connell, Nettle Douglass, Josephine Flsk,
Lottie Salsburg and Jen tile Salrfburg. ' f
A novelty In the way of melodrama will
be the offering at the Krug this afternoon,
when Lincoln J. Carter' will present "The
Flaming Arrow." The name of the play Is
significant of blood and thunder In a super
lative degree, and the fact that It Is pro
duced by a company composed largely of,
real, live Indians, naturally strengthens the
Impression. But by the time the curtain
descends on the last act the audience be
gins to realise that there Isn't much tn a
name after all and that Indians under cer
tain circumstances can present another
phase of character other than that usually
depicted In a dime novel.
"For Her Bake," the Russo-Slberlan
melodrama, Is to be presented at the Krug
theater for three nights and Saturday mati
nee, beginning Thursday night. The hero
of the play Is a Russian nobleman and
army officer; the heroine Is a Russian serf
girl. With these for the central figures the
playwright has grouped together a big
array of characters, embracing soldiers,
convicts, people of fashion, travelers, nihi
lists and a half doxen other sorts of people.

WHITEHEAD, Ireland To the Editor of

almost the sole remaining evidences of
piratical and smuggling days. Following
them as far as was safe to go inside, It
was very interesting to note the peculiar
conatructlona of the roof portion These
are land cavea, or rather caves In rocks
above the sea level In tbe cliffs of Black
head. On the top of. the cliffs, "by the edge
of the steep," Is a largb lighthouse and
electrical automatic fog-slgnai, like the
sound of a small cannon.
Whitehead ha a beautiful promenade.
blear, pellucid water, excellent boating,
bathing and fishing. On the way to this
old place, which boasts of an Interesting
old rulrl. of a castle, we passed Carrlck-
fergus, which has also a castle In a very
good state of preservation for a ruin. This
Is the place from which Mrs. Gllmore of
Omaha came, and If I mlatuke not. Dr.
Gllmore also came from near this point.
We were entertained here most delightfully
by Rev. Richard Cole and Mrs. Cole, who
were royal entertainers, Indeed, both as
regards the Inner man and the Intellectual
side, for Mr. Cole delighted our party with
his Interesting explanations of historical
points of Interest. He Is the editor of the
Christian Advocate, a religious paper, which
Is the one and only weekly organ of the
Methodist church In Ireland. (You will
note that I am In highly orthodox com-
panyl. Mr. "Cole has a brother In Omaha,
Mr. David Cole. Another brother, Mr. Wil
liam Cole, hus made It very interesting for
all of us, while Mrs. W. Cole's father, Mr.
McKee. has given us hearty, welcome to his
fine telescope, through which we have teen
the British war veat-els to great advantage.
Mr. - Cole also got us permits to vl?lt the
celebrated Hurland and Wolff shipbuilding
yards, whence the Majestic, Teutonic, Bal

launched. This alght was worth all the red
tape which had to be disentangled before
we could see the building of a shin from

When election day has passed and Alton"
Brooks Parker shall have either Len
elected or defeated In his campaign for
the presidency, some one may tell the
story of the matt remarkable arrange
ment in ' the history of Journalism and
its connection with national politics, by
which ten devoted newspaper men
kept the American public upprlsed of
the Ins and outs and details of a demo
cratic canvass, In the face of a preslden;
tlal nominee who made not a single late
ment for publication from the date of his
nomination by "the St. Louis convention to
the date of bis letter of acceptance, and
who characterized his candidacy by a
silence more absolute than that ot any
other man who ever strove for the high
est office In the people's gift.
Asked for an answer to the simplest and
most harmless question. Judge Psrkcr
merely smiles and reiterates the formula;
will say nothing upon any subject what
soever until I have be?n formally notified
of my nomination and have Issued my
letter of e.ceptance," and the Sphinx of
Africa is truly rivaled by the Sphinx of
Esopus Creek. ,
Neverthelss, the newspapers of the coun
try have kept their readers well abreast
the democratic situation, and It may bo
safely added that fewer misstatements and
canards have found their way into public
prints under' Ksopus date lines than usually
crop out In half the time when the nominee
Is much moreN garrulous and much more
willing to admit quotation marks about his
name. . '
No Proerram In slmht.
The arrangements by which Judge Par
ker's plans and those of campaign man
agers reach the newspapers is perforce" a
secret lnvlolato, and will so remain until
election day, at least. The plan 'was
broached by a politician high In the nomi
nee's esteem, and was designed solely td
keep the public Informed, wltho'ut violating
Judge Parker's wish to remain silent, of
what was taking place In and about Rose
mount, which 's now and will continue to
be the actual national headquarters. How
successfully It Is working out Is amply
shown In the fact' that up to the present
time no line of action has been definitely
outlined twenty-four hours ahead of time
than an account of It has appeared lit
spondents at Esopus.
The dally routine of the eleven reporters
who have been assigned to dog the nominee
from the minute he takes the famous
plunge into the Hudson, at 7 a. m., until
he retires to bed, generally about 11 o'clock
at night, very nearly resembles the adven
ture of a French king who marched up a
hill and then marched down again that Is,
so far as Judge Parker Is personally con
cerned. Efiopfls la not metropolitan; If
was not built "to" accommodate tho be
nighted newspaper men .that follow the
scent of a national convention's selection.
There Is one bathtub In the town. That
Is owned and monopolized by Judge Par
ker The same gentleman controls all the
running water and has arrogated It to
Rosemount. T.he lower end of the town
sidles up against a stagnant pool, which
breeds dreams of quinine as constant diet,
though tho denlsens declare that no one
ever dies in that vicinity.. The Qulnn Inn,

became a national figure. Tho one barber
In the place works upon the railroad six
days In the week and flourishes the, rasor
on Saturday night. It la not a metropoli
tan town. But It was apparently left to
the scions of the pen to find that out.
fc Viewing the Prospect O'er.
There Is an early morning tramp through
the land up a small mountain, upon the
summit of which sits Rosemount Villa,
overlooking as pretty a vista of Hudson
river scenery as lies between New York
and Albany. Betimes the Judge arpears,
and a volley of questions bombards his
advent to bound harmlessly off the Ircn
mask of silence, that only smiles cour
teously before the wearer retires again to
the framing of a historic letter of accept
ance, or to the endless algnfng of a famous
name to Interminable letters of congratu
lation. Then follows the try-out of the "arrange
ment," and day stories are wired from the
Roemount lodge, which has been placed
at the disposal of the correspondents and
telegraph company by the nominee. At 5
o'clock In the afternoon the same routine Is
observed, and the night reports result.
Political visitors sre either Interviewed at
the depot or at the lodge. It did not take
the newspaper men long to discover that a
caller Invariably "gives up" more news be
fore he has conferred with Judge Parker
than afterward, hence the arrival of one
"high In the counsels of his party'' is
much more eagerly awaited than his de
parture. The men who are covering Judge
