TI1E OMAIIA DAILY BEE: r SUNDAY. JTOE 4. 1905. PRINCESS ENTERS BERLIN Bride of Crown Princ Weloomed by People or uermtn tapiUl. . FLOWERS ARE STREWN IN HER PATH After Driving Through Atranr Mar. rlnge Contract la llfnrd at Palare la Presence of Royal Family, BERLIN, June . Looking fur more at tractive than in any of her pictures the ; Duchess Cecilia of Mecklenburg-Schwerin ' drove publicly Into this city today. Hun 'drede of thousands of her future subjects saw her for the first time and they re ceived her according to a carefully wrought ' out program. Hut when they saw her smll Ing happily and with natural and not : forced beating their good feeling expressed i Itnelf spontaneously In many a "hoch" and 1 cheer. It la the pincers belief that she U not only the betrothed wife of the crown prlnca but hla sweetheart. Aa the chief burgomaster said In welcoming her, the people of the city hoped her life would be . rose-strewn, aa was the pavement over which the drove. The crown prince who, Mllowtn tradi tion, led his company of foot guards over the route of procession an hour before the duchess entered the city, was also splen didly received. He acknowledged the Cheer ing by saluting with Ills aword at every second step. tThe Duuhess Cecilia of Mecklenburg Sonerwln, who, In her full title, 1 also prtooses of the Wends, arrived from Bchwerln at noon with her mother, the Grand Duchess Anastasla, her brother, Frederick Francis, the reigning grand duke of Mecklenburg-Bchwertn, his wife and a numerous following. The emperor, empress and crown prince, the later'a five brothers and the .little Princess Victoria, met the party at the railroad station and break fasted with them In the Chateau Bellevue, situated In the garden about two miles from the Imperial palace. There 'the Ducheaa Cecilia rest-id with the empress, while the others went to the palace. The procession began to form between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon on the wide space fronting the chateau, and then moved Through the Tiergarten to the Bradenburger gate, the boundary of the Id 'dir. Rides In Old Coach. ,,The richly gilded carriage in which the i duchess sat composedly, although fiushea 'with the emotions of the hour, was an odd : looking piece of workmanship, new In the "year 1798, when the future Queen Loulau !of Prussia, then a girl of 17, made her state entry into the city through the same igate. j In advance of the equipage walked two lau grooms in Blue and gold, and beside &ach of the elarht blnelr hnrA w.ai a. TOom in scarlet and erolrt liverv. Th hir. i horses' heads were plumes of black and I white ostrich feathers. Altogether, the ob--ervera of the royal luxury and display ' were satisfied. On the right of the duch f. ess' carriage rode the master of the horse, ' Count yon Wedel, . and on the left the governor c Berlin, General von Sahnke. j. In two other six-horse carriages were the ladles in waiting of the empress ana i te duchess. , The course of the procession lay for mile through the Tiergarten. Where the ads crossed there were 400 children who jeang a choral, "God Greet Thee." Their voices sounded sweetly In the woods. 't Along each side of the way veterans f'were lined up, while here and there stands were erected under the shade of the trees. 'Vhen Insldethe Brandenburger gate the ducheaa came In view of one of the broad - est avenues In the world, TJnter den Linden, J set from one end to the other with four rows of Venetian masts. Swinging from . mast to mast were ropes of evergreens and roses, while the lime trees were also . hung with garlands of roses. Numerous . flag fluttered on each side of the avenue, (Mecklenberg's red, yellow and blue pre dominating. The perspective from the , arohed gate to the palace at the other end was moat beautiful. Burgomaster's Welcome Brief. The chief burgomaster, in a purple robe ' trimmed Vlth fur and wearing the heavy gold chain Insignia of his office, stepped forward and read a brief address of wel eome. It was brief by the emperor's re- quest, so as to spare the duchess the or- ipie words and the r recession hnu n move again, the artillery at the other end ef TTnter den Linden firing twenty-four gtrne. Fifty little girls threw fresh roses under the horses' feet as the duchess went on her way down the alley of lime trees, which, were hung with roses and masses of people, covering even roofs, waving tiny flags and handkerchiefs and cheering. . v M. Blhourd, the French ambassador, ln VSlted his colleagues and their families to 0 thil mnmftanlm r.n. . .a,. I" 1- I American ambassador, Mr. Tower, and Mrs. Tower; the British ambassador. Bir Frank . C. Lascelles, were In the party. M. Blhourd had nrovlrind hrii tables for the amusement of hie visitors during the long wait, and there was also an excellent buffet lunch. Large parties of Americans occupied points of vantage on either side of the Brandenburger gate, while the American embassy staff were at the embassy office on Unter den Linden. I Pageuet Not Lengthy. The pageant started at 6 o'clock and hart disappeared at S:40 p. m. through one of the arched doorways of the palace. On the other side. In the inner court yard, the emperor, the crown prince. Prince Henry of Prussia, and other members of the Im perial family, attended by alt the visiting princes s,nd foreign delegations, ministers of state and a number of generals and ad mirals, received the duchess. She went with members of he Imperial family to the room of electors, so-called, and with the crown prince signed the marriage contract. Afterwarda the members of the two fami lies dined together. Ambassador Tower, who was accredited by cable aa special ambassador of the United States at the wedding, was received by the emperor at 10 o'clock this morning. Mr. Tower presented the congratulations of tb president and of the people of the Vnlted Slates on the marriage of the crown prince." The special representatives of other coun trie were also received In audlenco by the emperor during thu forenoon.

Miss Marlowe Is a more mature, but none the less charm ing Juliet now than when we firs: came to know her as the very embodiment i f the charms and graces of the fair dn-iv.ter of the Capulets. She Is more attractive, per haps, as she is, even though the winsome nesa of youth be lost to some degree in the seductive plumpness of the riper form; she still has the sprightly grace and airi ness of manner and movement, and her voice haa all the music In it that could ravish and captivate a less willing sub ject than young Montague. In the bal cony scenes, in the garden, in her cham ber, at the tomb, she is Juliet, Just as the eye of fancy has pictured her, and no more, Miss Marlowe found the heat of the after noon very trying, and yet she sustained her efforts to the very close of the In tensely dramatic climax. Mr. Sothern haa not altogether succeeded in his redemption of Romeo from the sec ondary value to which the role has been assigned, and yet he has gone a long ways toward restoring him to his proper place as a hero. He makes him a very manly young man, even when he is most sorely tried, and shows little of that lugubrious quality for which his lover was condemned by the critics earlier- in the season. That he seems to be depressed by some pre monition of the evil that Is likely to over whelm him in his fondness for the daugh ter of his enemy is apparent, and this in a measure is reflected In his presentation of the' part; but most does he bend his effort to making of Romeo a man, and to this end he gives him sterling qualities quite at variance with the light and care less youth most generally depicted as the ideal of the part. His love making bears a ring of sincerity, if it does lack in eager ness, and it may be in this it Is more ac ceptable. It Is a wise man who can lay down a hard and fast rule for making love so as to convince the object of its direc tion, and Shakespeare showed that a woman may be wooed in many ways and won in all. Therefore, why should one quarrel with Romeo's love making, or rather Mr. Sothern' way of doing It for RomeoT He gives It the essential element of reality, and the rest is a matter of mere detail. In his encounter with Tybalt he does very well, in fact, he here reaches a genuine climax. Mr. Hunter's Mercutlo, Mr. Crorapton's Friar Lawrence and Mrs. Smith's nurse are the other parts of the play worth Individual mention, although the whole cast is well selected. In the evening "Hamlet" was offered to a small but decidedly appreciative audience, the heat again having a marked effect on the attendance. Owing to the fact that the windows and doors were kept open aa much as possible, the audience had excellent proof of the Increased service recently es tablished on the Harney street trolley line. It appeared that every Interesting part of the play had been scheduled for the passing of a trolley, the gongs of which were not chimed louder nor longer than discretion suggested to the motorman, but whos-j whirring wheels were notably audible for at least a block on either side of the house. Such conditions render acting an effort indeed, and yet Mr. Sothern and his as sociates made excellent headway against this opposition. It ia difficult to convince one who did not see his earlier performance of the role how far Mr. Sothern haa pro gressed as Hamlet. His prince Is now a man of action as well as of thought; he ia melancholy, consumed with his grief, torn by his conflict between his doubt and his desire, but through It all a man of noble mind and mien. Not alone In appearance and movement haa he Improved hla Hamlet but In expression. His voice haa yielded to hia effort, and Is now under the moat per fect and absolute control, so that it re sponds with wonderful flexibility to his de mands upon It. He has given the role the deepest and closest study, and Illuminates it with the light of his rare Intelligence. In emphasis, Inflection and manner of delivery he gives to the lines a quality of penetra tion that carries home the full weight snd meaning of each word, and makes the utter ance of each sentence a message pregnant with thought to the hearer. If it be the ecstacy of his impatience with those who seek to play upon him. the earnestness of his declaration of friendship for Horatio, the bitterness of his disappointment "iat leads to his renunciation of Ophelia, or the poignancy of grief that tears his soul as he lays before his mother the pictures and wrings from her the bitter tears of re pentance, he gives to all such wealth of meaning and intelligence of utterance as holds the closest of attention and brings the spontaneous applause, because he Is now a convincing as well as a scholarly Hamlet. In the scene where he withholds his hand because he would not send the king's soul unrepentant to the bar of heaven, he makes a most Impressive figure for then is Hamlet come to be a man. bent oa doing a man's work. This follewed by probably the most dramatic scene of the wkole piece, that with his mother, in which both Mr. Sothern and Miss Kruger won a triumph. The famous soliloquy and the ad vice to the players are both excellent pieces or elocutionary effort, and It may be ques tloned if they were ever better delivered than last Tilg'ht. AB rn sJL, Mr. Bnihn-B Is much Dearer his goal as an ax-tor than three reMon ago, when he first eesared the role. Mist Marlowe's Ophelia Is a revelation to those who have been accustomed to seeing a moderately capable actress walk through the role. She endues the pnrt with a dis tinct and Individual life, and make It one that appears worthy the effort she bestows upon It. Always the careful and Intensely analytical actress, whose nature quickly responds to her calls upon It, she develops In Ophelia those subtle beauties of attrac tive girlhood that are overlooked or illy set forth by women who have a less In tuitive perception of the possibilities of the part. It Is not alone on the mad scene that Miss Marlowe lays stress, but on the entire career of Ophelia, and she certainly shows that her creed is that whatever la worth doing at all Is worth doing well. Mr. Hunter's king is good, and Mr. Crompton makes the meddlesome and gar rulous Polonius a genuine delight. Mr. Buckstone Is good as the gravedlgger, and the rest of the cast Is Just as in the other plays, splendid. Shakespeare without scenery may ap peal to the esoteric cult, but it would be hard to convince those who sat through this round of plays that the work would be Improved and the artistic effect height ened by the absence of the beautiful and appropriate settings and accessories pro vided for the presentation of the plays. These In thHr way are quite as Important as any of the other features of the great success that has been achieved by the combination, and the thnughtfulness of the manager who haa so liberally provided for the proper and effective Investiture of these great classics Is certainly deserving of commendation. IRISH TO CELEBRATE FOURTH Preparations for Exercises at Hirer- lew Park Are Well Along.

The royal reception that was extended the 8outh Omaha commission men upon their arrival two days sgo waa heartily repeated this morning as they took their departure on the yellow and green special for the Platte valley and Wyom ing. That their fame had preceded them was demonstrated by the numbers who welcomed them at the various towns. Even In Isolated communities the Inhabitants were out In full force, and that the South Omaha boosters maintained their reputa tion, even in a flying greeting, goes with out saying. At this city, the first Important stop, a procession was formed and headed by the local band and citizens, a tour of the city was made. The local preparations were far beyond expectations even to the disfiguring of the "south-dale," but through the many courtesies extended by the Burlington, rep resented by Trainmaster Ben S. Marvin of the Sterling division, the matter of Infring ing on the "south-dale" Is of small moment, for they, like the people who are receiving them, openly know there Is nothing too good for the exchange men. The run from now on will be through the world famous Platte valley, the scene of government operations in which It is ex pending millions of dollars In reclamation of semi-arid land along the valley.

At Bayard, the time being short, a hasty It was with much regret that time did not permit of a visit to Oering. the county seat, as the citizens came over in large numbers and promised something un equaled In the way of an up-to-date recep tion In an Inland town. Mitchell and Torrlngton kept up their end so well that all went their way rejoicing, handshake was indulged In and all de parted happy in the knowledge of each other's experience. Mlnlatare also did It self proud. At Scott's Bluff a public recep tion was held, the "boosters" marching to the head of Main street, where H. L. Sainnis of the First National bank ex tended a welcome that was well received. Bruce McCulloch ot the Stockmen's Jour nal made reply In behalf of the commission men. The Commercial club of Scott's Bluff presented the party with a beautiful sou venir in the form of a glass paper weight containing a view of the Bluffs. Guernsey next in order did magnificently. A procession was immediately formed and a march was made to the Guernsey hotel, where a banquet was given in honor of the visitors. J. M. Guild, secretary of the stock exchange, acted as toastmaster and responses were made by Mayor Drake, Bruce McCulloch and others. The time was afterward Bpent in visltmg points of Interest in and about the city. A broncho busting contest was included among the special features and the time was very pleasantly spent until train time. The "boosters" returned on their home ward trip tonight, a tired but happy lot, for, as their banners proclaimed, they came to "root for South Omaha," and they have done as enthusiastically as they knew how and frcm the evidence at hand their efforts will not have been vain.

Before the largest crowd ever seen at the Latonla race track and in a finish that looked like a dead heat, The Foieman, a maiden colt from George Hcndrl's stable, won the Latonia derby from Hambrlght, carrying the colors of Talbot Brothers. The first two finished ten lenghts in front of Mc Clellan, the 11 to 10 favorite in the race. The feature of the race was Jockey True bel's great ride on the winner. There were five starters. Retort being withdrawn. The race was at a nillo and a half and of a net value of $6,850. Freebooter, representing the stable of Jo seph Hugh, and well backed, was the pace maker and looked like a sure winner for a mile and a quarter. Then he tired and Truebel, on The Foreman, who had been holding his mount in reserve, sent The Foreman to the front. The colt responded gamely and appeared to be winning at the last eighth pole when Hambrlght came from behind and challenged him for the prize. Then began an exciting struggle. A few yards from the wire Truebel, with rare Judgment, sat still on his mount, while Austin's efforts with the whip pre vented him from making a strong finish and as a result The Foreman crossed the wire a scant nose to the good. For a few seconds the spectators were held spell bound until the numbers were hung- out. When The Foreman was announced as the winner a mighty cheer rent the air. The winner was as good as U to 1 in the bet ting, but was packed down to 6 to 1 at the clos4. The race was run over a fast track la 2:38 flat. The attraction today outside of the Derby was the presence of Miss Alice Roosevelt. She was the guest of Congressman Long worth of Cincinnati, and society turned out enmasse to greet her. She was among those who cheered the Derby winner when he passed the clubhouse encircled in a floral wreath. Governor Beckham of Kentucky and his staff, besides many other notables, were in attendance. Two favorites won. Twenty-three books were in line snd all did a good business.

No nrettler ilflv nmilri hsai Keen rhnsetl forhe opening matinee of the Omaha Drlv- I ing ciun man eaturaay, ana tne crowa mat filled the grandstand and the carriages that lined the qunrter stretch were more than repaid by a good card of races. Mrs. C. H. Crelghton had a tallyho full of friends, and many elegant turnouts helped to make the scene beautiful. The Judges were F. Randolf, F. F. Conner of Cleveland, A. Hood and John Bishop. The timers were C. H. Crelghton and G. Q. Irey. and the starter C. C. Kendall. The busiest man on the grounds was Floyd Campbell, who had his hands full in getting the amateur drivers out on time, but ue succeeded remarkably well and there were few delays. Many of the new horses showed up In splendid shape and especially T. C. Byrne's Cricket, who was a post entry In Class B and who won In straight heats. In fact, all of the first horses finished first In both hents. There was considerable Interest In the running race. Three starters were sent sway at the first trial and it looked like a runaway for The Coon. Gray bolted as he passed the stable gate and fell ten lengths behind, which were made up on the back stretch and It began to look as if there was to be a real race for the finish, but Gray had pulled the limit on his strength to catch up the distanre and The Coon was too strong coming down the back stretch. The time of Chief of Detectives Dunn's Coney of l:fl& was fast for this time of the year and the horse promises to do some good work before the season advances very far.
