PHIC'IC I'lVIC ClfiNTM I ti X d oMmn Tlio nppenrnnet! of Burnli Bernhardt ns Cleopatra In Now York was n gieot disap pointment. Thu piny does not give tlio great actress a clinnco lo display her genius, nt least such Is tho conclusion tobedmwn after reading tho comment of the eiltlci on tlio Now York press. Tlio ploy Itself Is n w lldor new of uninteresting dialogue with lint two coses In tlioshnpoof situations. Tln Mure Antony looked liko n young nmn who had jUHt stepcd,from behind tlio counter of thu Hon Mnrcho Into Egyptian drapery, nml lilt dalliances with Egypt's queen woro mem coldblooded gesticulations. Tlio tropical tint with which the great genius bus anointed her fnco nnd arms, together with tlio soft clinging revelatory, yet never Indecent wnii plngs in which she was swathed, brings her nearer tnlieuuty than sho has ns yet Is-eii In tlio now world. llernhardt'H business him, of course, been largo but who ban not plaj od to the rapacity of tho house, anililurliig the end 6f her La Tnsca weeks many peats were un occupied. A magnificent audience greeted "A Texas Steer" on its first nppoaranco In this city Thursday evening and was convulsed with laughter almost from tho beginning to the end of.thoplay. Tho production Uu triumph in comedy and Hoye has surpassed nil his previous efforts as a playwright. In the main it is too true to life to bo termed n with o, al though there uro some slight exaggerations which only iiervo to inoko the scenes so much tho funnier. The play inuit lie seen In Its en tirety to bo fully appreciated. A synopsis would lio oulv u mutilation. It would bo merely u cold blooded dissection and eleml nation of nil tho wit and humor with which the play abound. Tho hero Is n typical Texas ranchman of groat wealth who while absent In Mexico Is elected to congress. Ho Is astonished to hear of this on his return, but his duughter "Bossy" cnlmly Informs lilm that it was a fair nnd honest election as every voter was given f5 before ho went to tho polk Tho congressman-elect accepts the situation and goes to Washington. Then the fun commences. Brauder is n shrewd old man nnd "catches on" to Washington ways. Tho plot Is a basis for a number of provo kingly Amusing situations nnd fairly bristles with wise comments on congressional nnd political methods. This Is one of tho great features of tho play. As Mavorlo Hrander, Mr. Tim Murphy carried out tho part splendidly. Al though tho character admitted of exaggera tion he carefully avoided extremes and niado the character real rather than imaginary. As Bossy, Miss Flora Walsh had a delightful port, and plays it with a most charming grace. 8ho has an expressive face, a most nloasine voice, a sense of humor, which Is ui- parent in every twinkle of her laughlngeye, her lines aro given with the keenest apprecia tion of the many good things she has to say, and her love scenes wero marked by a sweet glillshface. Brassy Gaul, a member of the third house, was a perfect representation of the professional lobbyist, and old politicians here heartily enjoyed his delineation of thu character. Dlxey Stile, the young confidence woman who Induced tho Texan statesman to kiss her and thereby secured 100 from him, played her pat t most artistically. Tho three typical Texaus, although slightly exaggerat ed, provoked the audience to uproarious laughter. At the end of the flikt act Mr. Hoy t was vociferously called for and he tin ally appeared beforo the curtain and happily expressed bis thanks. The Pat Koonoy company amused a fair sized audience at the Fuuko opera house on Tuesday evening with a nonsensical medley called "Fat's Now Wardrobe." There was no plot or exciting situations. The whole object of the author ar.d actor being to make people laugh. In this respect the play was n success. After all, more reel benefit Is to bo derived from a comedy than a tragic perform ance. Most Americans work too hard and they need the relaxation and tonic effects of an evening of mirth. It Is a change from thu worry of everyday life and as refreshing ns an April shower to the thirsty soil, Last week in lied Bank, N. J., a little !oy about twelve years old, named Harry Jones, went to see Marlah Hubert Frohman In Tho Witch. After the hanging scene Master Harry went homo and 10 powerful had the execution worked on his Juvenile Imagination that hu determined to reoat the operation on his own sister, aged seven. The little girl willingly obeyed her brother's Instructions and stood on a chair while he fastened 11 strap around her neck. Thu end of thu strap was tied to a hook, and then Master Hurry took the chair away. The little girl soon liegan to strangle, and but for tho timely urrival of thu mother tho boy's fun might hnvo ended trag ically. Master Hurry w on't go to tho theatre again for some time. V General Hherman was to have dined with Lawrence Barrett nt tho Union Leaguu Club a few days before his death. When tho Gen eral was taken 111 hu wrote to Mr. Bairett that ho would bu unable to keep thu appoint ment. This Is said to have been thu last let ter written by the famous old worrier. Gen eral Sherman and Mr. Barrett were f 1 lends of twenty-live years. CHKOLK. The theatre going people of Lincoln will he pleased to learn that on next Tuesday Ham T. Jack will present "Thu Creole" at tho Funke. Tho following clipping fiom 11 Nuw York pa per Is an excellent introduction to the play; It Is extremely ditllcult for 11 manager to "catch on" to something new in tho variety business, but Harry Williams has a show this week destined to play to crowded houses every iei formatter, Thu originality is duo to Ham Jack, whoso skillful, nrtlstlu hand can lie seen all through thudlfferuut"acts."

Tho Herald calls him tht "hoy congresnnnu" (he is not (iiito thirty-one) and says he will bo the yo'uiigcst mcmls'i' of thu next congress. In conclusion It says; "Making duo allowance for thu fact tint local stars do not always loom forth In tho galaxjj at Washington 11s brightly as they do amid home environments, It may still bo con tldoutly predicted that Mr. Bryan will 1 10 "honrij from" in tho house of representatives In vluv, too, of thu further fact that the cholcd of tlio next speaker lies between men w ho hjivo never been elevated to tho place, it Is not faulikoly that .Mr. Bryan may support the Hunt man mid be given suitable recogni tion upm the committees; certainly so should llllnoU' own Springer havo thu gavel placed In his fcood rignt hand." Speaking of Mr, Bryan, havo you ever heard how hu closed tho joint debate with Congressman Council Whether you hnvo or not, It is w 01 th rending. The Lincoln ns. piraut,had treated the Omaha statesman with courtesy throughout tho oratorical con test, nud he put thu finishing touch to it at thn Syracuse meeting by presenting Mr. Con. uuM with a copy ot Grey's Elegy, In doing so Mr.'jtirynu made one of the happiest of hi , lierfeclsiittlo speechoi, and quoted beautiful Hues fiom the 'noble poem with fine uffect. Hero it is verbatim: Mr. Couuell: We now bring to a close this series of debates which was arranged by our committees. I am glad that wo havo boon able to conduct those discussions in a court eous and friendly manner. If I have in any way offended In word or deed I offer apology nnd regret nnd as freely forgive. I desire to present to you hi remembrance of these ptewt ant uiiietmgs this little volume, because'lt contains "Gray's Elegy," In thu perusal of which I trust you will find as much pleasure and pibllt as I have It Is out ot tho most beautUul and touching tributes to humble llfu thjtt literature contains.

If 011 the other hand, by the verdict nf my countrymen, I should be madoyoursucccsior, let It titit be said of you: j "And melancholy marked him for her own," But llttl sweet cousolitlon in thu thought: "Full many a gtnii ot purest ray s.-rene Thnhnik, unfnthomed cuves of ocein bear, Full Uglily a Mower is born to blush unseen, And waste its swettnuts on tho desert air." But jndiutlier tho pilmof victory is given to you onto mu let in lemember those ot whom tho poet says; "Par front tho maddiug crowd's Ignoble strife, Their sober wUhei never learned to stray; Along tho cool, sequestered vulo of life, Thoy kept tho noiseless tenor of t licit way.'' These aro the ones most likely to bu forgot ten by government. When thoy cry out for relief Uuiy too often hear no answer but the "echo t)t their cry," while tho rich, the st rong, the powerful) are given an uttuntive ear. For ibis reason is class legislation danger ous am deadly: It lakus from thu least nhlo to glvu and gives to those who are least in need.
