: long been failing , and for a time wet > up
parently benefitted by the cha' ge. Ii
July , however , he began failing again , am
vs uinue that time has scarcely been out of hi
bed. In October ho was taken to Man
trcal , again hoping for beneficial result
from the change , but he grev
worse instead , and was in the hospital fo
h- two weeks before he recovered mimclentl ;
to return to Oiiiahn , Ho had been con
lined to his bed for the past live week
preceding bis death. Naturally < ours
geous , devoted to his wife , and loathe t
yield to thb dread ditcao which was upoi
lilm , Mr. Curtli persisted in working n
his dusk , whenever he was able , and hi
lirnvo wife added her endeavors towan
bearing that burden by working in a bool
biudeiy , the labor tiimfly devolving entire
ly upon her. Notwithstanding thin , sin
found tiuio to care In the tenderent man

Great Success [ of the New Actress ,
Miss Ahvlno Reynold ,
Sunday evening Mips Alwine Heynold
made her debut in Omnhn nt the German
heatro In Turner Hall nnd , if numbers
cnn bo taken as acriterionof success , never
was there n gieatcr one. The whole cf the
vailablo space wns taken ; not only were
a'l the seats occupied , but every part of
, he hall wax tilled , many being willing t >
( and f jr two or three bourn in order to see
.ho celebrated New York actress. The
ilece represented was , " 0 ! These Wo-
inen , " nnd it wa divided into five acts.
Miss Alvvipe Heynold sr.s ained the role
of Grethe , n Tyrolese singer. Her acting
wns very fine , nnd her singing and gro-
teiHjue mannerism excited much merri
ment. She is altogether quito an accom
plished actress. Air. Liudemnnn , in the
character of a ruined merchant ,
acted his part well , and the audience
were couvulsoJ with laughter nt his u itty
Bailies nnd innnendoe * . Mr. Molchln as
Pupke was also very good and he was \oiy
loudly applauded , Mr , Kuexter , who
repreuented Kinil Hnspel , a wealthy
farmer was evidently nxin n cognized by
the audience on account of hh wear
ing his usual wblto "blbi. " Hit
acting , however , was excellent and
his cmmciatiui everything thai
could bo desired. Mian Thieesen a *
AuielU performed excellently , as in facl
ihe always docs , and Mr. Hauck as Fran
cola was well received. Mr. Grossnmnn
in the character of Schulue , a fcrvunt
made a uruat hit nnd received many ere
o reg. Mis * liuchn ann m Pauline , nnt
Mrs. Groiuiniaun as Hulda were also ver )
Hell received.
The whole affair wag highly successful
and Turner hall was never no ciowdei
since it has been built.
During the progress of the play Misi
Alwine Heynold was presented with i
very liuautiful bouquet by one of the mid !
enco preeent.
It was estimated that there were eve
