CAPITA J. CITY COURIER, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 3 1802
rr Tntnii
great ronrai
Everybody likotl it nnd the whole town wiw
It. Lincoln never had ouch an exhibition In
pyrotechnic In nil her history m that given
by Pain last night at the M street hall park.
It mmi Ixjinlmnlment of the city for popu
larity ami patronage, and the capitulation
wan complete. It wa a display of firework
that win simply overwhelming and nwo In
spiring. Of coure overylKxIy wltl for the
firework. Ancient Pompeii, ly'ng under
the shadow of tho mighty Vesuvius, with ber
whole Doimlatlou out upon tho puhlio auares
engages! in all tho abandon fwtlv itle that
made the olden day famous, was a wonder
ful and truly edifying spectn-ilo And It
must be said in all truthfulness that the pa
geantry and specialty feature seemed to
tnovo as smoothly on this first night a though
there had been many night of iHrformance.
Genuine, prnlso can l awarded Manager Up
ham, the Lincoln street railway company
and their lieutenant for this marvelous en
terprise. The rehearsal must have been
.many and novcro, but it paid. Ho it wa pre
eminently a satisfaction to Ih a llrst-nlghter,
who, by the way, Is generally tho most criti
cal and the biggest klckor.
Yonder loomed the mighty Vesuvius, high
against the heavens, the star-studded sky of
this nineteenth century no doubt forming a
glorious a Imckground as did that Italian sky
over which ioet ravo and people dream. The
big city, with It tower and colonaded pal
ace, nestled llko a pigmy of human product
Inn nt tlm bnso of that klim of tho hill made
by the master builder of tho universe. It
was all a grand picture and one seemed car
ried back to that time, and to bo an actual
looker on In Pompeii.
Tho audience sit right out in thenlghtand
live out of door with tho Pompollans.
There are hundred of lioses, somo for live
and others for parties of ten, with comfort
ablo chairs, and there were Interesting
groups In nearly nil of them. Tlieso boxes
are indeed a novel Idea for open air enter
tainments. The Oriuiil orchestra I located
on tho audience sido of tho lake, and from
7:30 to 8:!(0 the music program Is of the con
cert or promenade order. Tho festival scene
of Pompeii lint for about an hour. The de
struction Hcena of the eruption nnd tho earth
quake doe not tnko placo until 0:30. Ho this
Pompellau iectacle is one of those immense
affairs to which you can go either early or
late, and readily lccome tn rapjiort with it
movement. You may bo in n mood to en
joy good music, then go early, "and there
you are." And, again, business or pleasure
may land you out there just In time for tho
fireworks, ''and there you are again.''
The festivities liavo passed, and perform
ers and people aro tired with excess of ath
letlo and voluptuous exhibitions. The day Is
spent and the evening time comes. Tho
beautiful city, with its villus and temples,
glows under the soft radiance of many kind
of light and laniw. Music playp softly and
Testfully to the weary sense. Suddenly at
the blast of trumpet the doors of the temple
of Isis are thrown open and the white-robed
priests tip)ear upon the pavllllou with tho
chanting censor swingers. The golden Im
age of tho Egytian goddess is lifted aloft and
the people commanded by the Egyptian, Ar
baces, to adore, and the populace kneel
abased, all but the few Christians, of whom
the hero Qlaucus is the Intrepid bead. Draw
ing his sword, he advances to strike the false
goddess from its base, when there is a rumble
s of distant thunder. The people rise to
their feet In terror, and, as if by instinct, all
eyes are lifted to towering Vesuvius and my
riad hands point upwards to tho skydltting
peak and all await, speechless. It is a mo
ment of tho awfulnes and eloquence, of
silence under great circumstance. Again
tho underground thunder rolls ominously
and dies away In echoing growls. Even
(llaucus pause lit his advance to strike.
The scene of destruction folio v swift, tho
city Is In llame, temple fall with resound
lug crashes, and tho population runs wild and
shrieking among the devouring elements,
Tho scene Is realistic, awful, subllluo. The
eruption is one of those climaxes of tho iho
tacular only mado possible In these days of
utiaraltelcd Inventiveness. Pain's pains to
please are a pleasure In perfection.
After the oruption and tho city in utter
ruin and darktiem, come tho peclal fire
work, and such a lomlmrdmetit In pyrotwh
nlcs, as statist in the beginning, was never
witnessed here Iwforo. Tho heavens rained
fire in all the magical and glowing colors
known to man. 1 ho deep intonation of tho
mortar and exploding bombs shook the
building nnd were heard far out UK)it the
prairie. It seemed as though the bombard
incut nnd destruction of Lincoln had come,
nnd it was a literal illustration o f Key's stir
ring and apHallng song of
The rocket's red glaro
And bombs bursting In ulr "
Tho fireworks were set olt with a rnpldlty
and perfection that wn bowlMcring, Tho
golden rain, tho blazing eipmtlo fountains,
the long, slender lines of the sky rockets, tho
great masses of rolling, roaring plu-uhcols;
tho gleaming and flrey stars; tho whizzing,
whirring, erratic, eccentric, Hying deviltries
from tho Internal regions of osshilltle m
chemistry, were a revelation indeed which
LlncolnlUs nnd never before witnessed. The
universal comment was that it was wonder
ful, wonderful 1

Washington, 1), C. Tho train will originate
at Kearney, Neb., on Hnttirday tho 17th of

barber shops, liverymen, storekeeiHTit ot nil
kinds are greatly beucllticd Unauclnlly, and
of the truth of this all one needs Is to Inquire
of any of the storekeeper to Iki at once con
vinced. Hy tho way, ask tho station agent
and he will tell you that sixty-four railroad
caiB aro absolutely necessary to carry all tho
Illinium it llulloy show, and tliut that mini
ber of car will bo here. Ask him also how
many cars the other bIiow has if any other
show is coming to your town and then you
will at once see the difference, The number
of cars always denotes the size of the show if
the cars are sixty feut long like llaruum k
