The change in the weather Saturday
to a decidedly spring-like temperature ,
brought the frost out flying , and an odd
and uncommonly pretty fig11 has been the
result , Omaha's stone and brick structures
lieing suddenly transformed into marble
fronts. The postofficu building beirg allot
atone was the prettiest , e\-ery block of its
material being covered with the white
coating an inch thick , which , drying grad
ually off at the corners , left exch a perfect
ellipse'of frost work. The Union Pacific
depot was as white as if it had been paint
ed and continueleo nntil after noon.
"Erin Aroon "

the benefit of the Poor Clare sisters.
The Acsdamy was crowded at the
evomoi ; performance , iu fa t quite a
number were unable to obtain teats.
Of the play itself little can be si id in
its faror. ' "Veto depth and compact
ness ; the plot is an impossibility , and
the eviction scene possessed none of
the cruel terrors with which Irish his
tory is filled. It served , however , to
show the versatility cf Mr. J. Ed
Smith , who , with his charming Koran
( Miss Brennan ) kept the audience in
fine humor. The reminder of the
out served an an excellent back
ground for the two bright stars who
sparkled continually at the footlights.
The songs of Tommle Brennan and
his Kitty were enthntlastlcally ap
plkuded.
The play wa crond finnncUl me-
eii , and the worthy object for which
It wa * given will be greatly benefited.
A Brilliant Entertainment in

Profeuor B. W. Seager , of New
York , author of the revision and dra
matization of the cantata "Queen
Esther , " arrived la the city Saturday
night and doubtless m de the acquaint
ance of some ol our musically inclined
people yesterday.
Just now BlonzClty andTankton
arc rejoicing greatly over the magn'E- '
cent success of the performance In the
latter city under his direction , when
two very large and enthusiastic au.
dlencei wore present , Tuesday and
Wednesday evening , to hear and wit"
ness it. Mrs. Roger Cheney , of Sioux
Oity , and Mrs , Jesse Geere , of De
troit , Michigan , the latter formerly a
resident of Yankton , alternated in the
role of "The Beautious Queen , " each
eliciting plaudits and praise unlimited
for their artistic singing and acting.
The whole performance which Is
given by amateurs entirely is set
down as a thoroughly finished , elegant ,
thrilling musical drama. Professor
Sealer will begin rehearsing the piece
with a company of sixty or seventy
vocalists in Siour City this week , and
It Is not unlikely that our own local
znniiclans may secure its production
here. The cantata or opera is pre
sented In rich and gorget us oriental
wardrobes provided by the director ,
with all the accompaniments of scenic
and dramatic display appropriate to
the occasion.

There have been quite & number oi
Interesting social events during the
past week , some cf which , including
the celebration by the Burns club ,
have already been detailed in THI
BEE. It is not amhs to nay at ttit
point that several Omaha ladies and
gentlemen went all the w y to St.
Louis to see Bernhardt , anc
now Manager Mtho , of the
Academy of Music , has securec
a communication which ia for the pur
pose cf ascertaining how manv people
would go to St. Joe at five dollars pe >
head , the said sum to include railroad
fare both ways and admission to see
Sarah. This ia a remarkably low rate
and no doubt many will take advan
tage of the opportunity to see the
actress who has of late ao agitated the
public mind. Minager Mealio wil
open a list at Max. Myers & Bros ,
where names may be left.
PKESBYTERIAN C1ICKCH SOCIABLE.
O e of the most enjoyable of the
alphabetical sociables in the church
parlor of the Presbyterian church
during the present season took place
list Tuuraday evening , under the
auspices of the L. M. N. &
O's. The ladies whose names came un
der the catalogue of the above named
letters , had epartd no pains to male
the room homelike and inviting , anc
a large number of the congregation
and their friends were present to en
joy their iospilaUty and listen to the
following programme presented for
their entertainment :
FBOOUAMME.
Sulla Lomba , Lucretia Borgia. Donizetti ,
Piano and violin , Hiss Wilson and Mr.
Armita&e.

College Songs.
The opening selection , for piaio
and violin , was rendered with fine ex
ecution by Mr. Armitagt , of the B &
M. headquarters , and Mies Wilson.
Mr. Arm it age showed himself the
possessor of considerable technical
ability as a violin soloist , and Miss
Wilson ably sustained her refutation
as one of Omaha's most gifted
piantste. Mr. Jennill's sjlo was en
thusiastically received. The gentle
man's rich and finely cultivated voice
has rarely been exhibited to bet'er
advantage. Without going into further
detail , it is sufficient to s.iy that the
solus by the Misses Wilaon and the
? iolin and piano rendering of a eara
Una , by Riff , were pirticu'arly well
received by the guests , while the
whole progra-nme gave evidetica of
careful selection and conscientious
treatment on the part of the perform
ers. The whole entertainment , which
was as informal and enjoyable as pos
sible , reflected the greatest credit up
on the committee , and marks a new
era in church sociables in our city.

five persons present. There were sev
enty couples in costume , presenting a
picture as novel as it was pleasant.
The floor managers were Messrs.
Frank Hill , Wm. J. Whitehouse , M.
Smith , Chas. Ogburn , and Wm. Oa-
borne , and they acquitted themselves
In a manner worthy the occasion.

A Few of the Sad Sights and
Scenes Witnessed by a
City Missionary.
What is Being Dote for the
Suffering Poor.
The report of city mission work foi
the quarter ending January 25th , a ;
siSraitted to the Christian Worker :
by their missionary , Mrs. H. B. Ful
ler , is of uniuual interest and will bf
raad by all. Perhaps non3 can battei
apprec'ate ' its facts than the reportei
t hu ia thrown in almost daily contact
v/ith the scenes described. There
are many reasons why they .re noi
published , one of which' is that ihtj
are of auc' coainiin occurrence thai
they ce.se to anrpriso one except ii
some m rk ° d instances. The aighl
witnessed upm Farnham street a few
clays ago was one of theao. A
liitlo boy with his rudely con
structed sled marched through the
principjl street of the beat city in the
west , hauling upon his skd iho dead
body of his Httlo aister encased in a
c ffin mide by the- father , wh preceded -
coded it a few paces carrying upi his
flh' > uldrr a pickaxe and shuvtl with
wh. cb to dig a grave for hia child.
T. > e two 'vended the'r way over tl < c
hill to the poor farm where the re-
m-.ins were left to rest in thu potters
field. While such poverty exists ic
our city there ia need of more micsinr

or a doz n persons and of chtnges
more important thin thus of our citj

cnme some three months ago , and for
lack of fuel wai washed aud drcssoi
for the first time in a ? old room ; ant
this with similar causes thereafter un
d mbttdly occasioned its death , whicl
occurred last week. After the childb
death , the father , going into the
room where some of its clothes were
lying , caught them in his arms , anc
holding them as close aa ho raigh
have held the child , wept as i
broken hearted , and said ho would
gjvo anything in the world if ho
could stop drinking.
IS STRIKING CONTRAST.
After so many disheartening in
stances an I find of this kind , it vfas a
comfort the other diy , upon going in
to a Httlo Gcrnmn home , where I had
been sent for , to hiiar the mother say
that whatever the husband earned
cama into the family. Nothing went
for whisky and beer , and the house
indicated this.
My prison correspondence is some
times encourdginir , and sometimes
very dtsconraginc ; but ono thing Is
certain , most of the men are very
qlad to get religious reading matter.
I am sending papers to twenty of
these. As I finish this , and think of
this working , working < > n , with
SO LITTLE APPAEENT SUCCESS ,
this thought occurs to me : why was it
that the Divine Man , when his earth
ly life was finished , seemed to have
accomplished so little ? Did that aamo
Infinite compassion and loving , pitiful
sympathy which suffered Its way down
into human hearts , leave the work in
such a state that wo , his children , fol
lowing in his footsteps , might bo con
tent to labur en , though we should not
sea the results , being assured that
"They who go forth weeping , bearing
precious seed , shall doublesireturn
