OMAHA , February 17.
To the Editor o ( The Doe :
I bog through the columns of TUB
JEE the privilege of denying the base
nsinuations cast upon my character
> y the Herald , not that I am of a ro-
igious turn of mind but on the con-
rary because I am a free thinker ,
and in this age of free thought and
thilosophy with a free press , I claim
ho right of my vindication and ob-
oct most emphatically to allow the
editor of a contemptible shoot to
slander mo with impunity.
The Herald of the 12th says I am
i fitting ornament for the gallows , a
sandidato for penitentiary honors , etc.
Thank God twelve good and true
men defended my action last tall
vhen they sat in open court to try
.ho alleged desperado ; "Cranky Bill ,
'
'or attempting once more I quote
; ho Herald "To kill throe men on
Dodge street. " Attempt to kill 1
Forsooth , had I intended to kill , my
assailants would not have escaped as
easily as they did on the occasion to
which I refer. But being nt that time
.11 n merciful humor I accepted their
jonds , i o log-bail , to tackle mo on
lomo future occasion , when perhaps
they may bo in bettor shape to earn
the gold medal which the Herald in
timates will bo given to the party
or parties who will rid thiscommunity
of the presence of Cranky Bill.
But enough. The very fact that I
am alive and have never as yet boon
been convicted of a crime does of it
self satisfy my weak , though philo
sophical cranium , and if the blatant
man who stigmatizes mo as a slugger ,
thief , desperado and crank , was as
much of a philosopher and thinker as
his position calls for , ho would think
before braying. I have the honor to
subscribe myself ,

The rooms of the Catholic Library

With the near approach of Lenten

of entertainments of nil kinds , the
amusement committee determined to
close the series of "dimo socials" with
a programme of unusual excellence.
A neat stage was built , extending

SMALL. POX.
Two Now Coaoe , Ono a Lady , Developed -
opod To-dny.
Two now cases of small pox wore re
ported yesterday. Ono of these was a
lady from New York , whose nnmo was
Mary Carroll. She wan boarding at
the Enmiot House and had been at
tended by Dr. Mercer , who yesterday
discovered that ho had a cnso of the
plague on his hands. In Dr. Loison-
ring's absence , at the pest house ,
Mayor Boyd was tolophoncd and or
dered her immediate removal. Col.
Houck came down about noon and
took her to the hospital , the sight of
himself and. his wagon crea
ting a genuine panic among
the railroad clerks who were just
going homo to dinner and who , many
of thorn , took to their heels and ran
off the block.
Col. Houck informed a BKB reporter
that another case had broken out in
the city and would bo removed lost
night.
IMPORTANT PURCHASE.
The Evangelical Lutheran Mission
Congregation Buy the Chris
tian Church.
Yesterday an important purchase
wasmado by the Evangelical Lutheran
Mission congregation , they buying
the Christian church building , on
Seventeenth street , between Dodge
and Capitol nvonuo. The church is
of brick , and is a very handsome
structure. It has boon occupied by
the Christian congregation for about
two years , and previous to that tin.o
it was known as the Methodist Epis
copal church The purchase price
was $7,250 , which is a fair valuation ,
with the weight of the bargain , if
any , on the side of the Evangelical
Lutheran Mission.
The Mission congregation will oc
cupy their now property in about a
month , at which time the lease of the
Ohristion congregation expires. The
Tenth Street Mission building has
been overcrowded at each mooting
during the winter , and this purchase
is consequently a very much needed
stop. The congregation of the Evan
gelical Lutheran Mission are increas
ing each Sunday , and in the now
church there is no question but that
they will continue to grow , and the
society will become very prosperous.
The present pastor , Rev. J. A. Hult-
man , although a young man , is a very
eloquent and earnest divine , and ho is
doing a splendid work in the cause of
the church.

SUBDUED WITH SALT.
Two Lively Ituna for the Firemen this
Morning.
There was an alarm of fire abou t
0:30 : a. m. yesterday frombox'JO , calli-
ing the department to the vicinity of
Ninth and Loavomvorth streetswhoro
it was found that the flames wore
already extinguished by the bucket
brigade , which got in its work in
good stylo. The fire was in the cot-
tagoof II , Oottmanand it appears'that
his httlo boy in playing with some
matches had sot the table cloth on
firo. It spread to the window cur
tains and threatened to destroy the
cottage , when the alarm was sounded
and the fire extinguished with a buck
etful of water.
The department was just returning
from this run when the boll rang
again , this time from box ID , The
cause of the second alarm was the
burning out of a chimney in the boarding -
ing house kept by Miss Clark , on the
northwest corner of Seventeenth nut
Capital Avonuo. Tlioro was no
damage and the lire was subdued witl
salt ,

clusion of the feast ordered the glasses
Hied and then proposed the health of

drank standing.
Mr. Donnelly responded in a speech
ll of earnestness and appropriate to
the occasion , as follows :
"It is useless for mo to say much
this evening or to endeavor to express
my appreciation of this compliment ,
For certainly the time to try a man's
Friends is when ho is in adversity. I
know that this is n ai'ik of sincere
Friendship toward im , and I appre
ciate it. Of the gentlemen present
this evening I can truthfully say that
I regard every one as a friend , and
hope that I shall so conduct myself as
to be worthy of their friendship. It
happens one gentleman present this
evening is the man who gave me op
portunities as a printer in an office
which undoubtedly resulted in my go
ing into journalism , and finally com
ing to Omaha , and it is a source of
pride that that gentleman and another
who gave mo assistance in those early
are able to bo present to-night. do
not leave for the east because I am
; irod of the west. I am just as much
i western man as over. It is a ques
tion of advancement in the business
For which I am adapted that I leave
Dmaha , and I expect to return to
Omaha , again and make it my
dome. I have been hero but
Four years , and in that time
[ have soon the city pas < > through a
period of tha utmost importance to it.
[ t is strange to look around and sco
the changes which have taken place in
that timo. I almost feel myself an old
settlor. The whole city is changed ,
[ ts growth has been marvelous and it
will continue to grow as rapidly as in
the past. The Iowa roads will run in
lioro in duo timo. I think if I should
como back in ton years I would hard-
iy know the city. I appreciate this
compliment , gentlemen , and express
my thanks. "
The next toast was to Mayor Boyd ,
who graced the head of the table , and
whoso presence was especcially grati
fying to the company. In response
the Mayor said :
GENTLEMEN or THE OMAHA PRESS
It is an old saying that "tho pen is
mightier than the sword. " If this
was true at the time when written ,
how more than true now , when the
penning of thousands of brains is given
to the world through thousands of
newspapers almost instantly by the
aid of electricity. The power of the
press for good is conceded by all. In
the present day the press of the coun
try has moro influence in the for
mation of public opinion than
that of all other powers com-
binedlho church not oxcopted. This
being the case how necessary it is ,
then , that those who wield such im-
moiiHo power should bo men of refined
responsibility and clear judgment.
The value of a good nowsprpor to the
coirmunity can not bo overestimated ,
and those of Omaha are certainly far
in advance of those of any city the
size of ours in the country. To the
men I see before mo this evening
and whom it gives mo much pleasure
to moot nro wo in a great measure
indebted for nil this. You are the
men who do the hard work , and who
say _ the good words ( and
sometime the bad words ) of
every one. I am pleased to notice
that of late your otl'orts , when used
in the cause of right nro being moro
appreciated. To each and all of you
I myself perhaps more than any other
man am under obligations for past
favors , and it is a source of gratifica
tion to know that in my case kind
words have been the rule and not the
exception.
You are nbout to lose from your
number ono whom you have long and
favorably known. To-night , on the
eve of his departure , wo can bul
wish him God speed ; and hope , that
in the now and busy field of lifo to
which ho goes , lib moot sanguine or-
Isolations may bo moro than realized.
Ii'vory ono present was then cnllfcd
upon and each responded feelingly and
appropriately. McDonagh , of The
Watchman , read n selection of "ma
chine poetry , " which wns composed
For the occasion. It contained many
liappy hits and wns heartily applauded
and handed to the guest of the evening -
ing with much formality.
It wns a late hour when the ban
quet came to an end and the good-byo
hand shakings wore indulged in. Mr.
Donnelly goes east followed by n host
of well wishes from his many frionds.
THE TSAGEDT OF HAMLET.
A Superior Production of
Shakespeare's Great
Drama at Boyd'fl.
Anna Dickinson Plays tbo Pnnco of
Denmark to a Crowded
Houso.
Boyd's opera house was
crowded last evening to witness and
hoar Shakespeare's tragedy , "Ham-
lot/1 as played by Miss Anna Dickin
son and n strong supporting company.
Long before the curtain rose the
house was a sea of expectant faces ,
and when Bliss Dickinson appeared m
the lirst act she was grcatod with
thunders of applause. No actor or
actor or actress over received a
warmer grcoetiGg in Omaha , and , bo
it tq Miss Dickinson's credit , she
played her dilllcult rolu in us conscion-
ious and able a manner as she wai
able to.
This is where criticism should per
haps end. There are some things in
the world which oven tin indomitable
will , tireless energy and great genius
[ ike that of Anna Dickinson's cannot
achieve , and ono of thorn is the feat of
transforming herself into a man.
Throughout the performance it was
the woman , and not the Prince of
Denmark , who came before the audi-
donco and depicted the emotions of
the unfortunate Hamlet. This ap
plies not U ) Miss Dickinson's make
up , for that was at once simple and
still perfect ; nor does it apply to the
enunciation of her part , for that was
likewise near perfection ; but it ap
plies to the depicting of the emotions
of a man , which no woman can ac
complish any moro than a man could
imitate succcssfnlly the passions of
ono of the gentler sex.
Much of thomngnetistn of the voice
which has thrilled hundreds of audi
ences from the platform exists in the
tone of the mournful prince , and at
times its effect was electrical upon
the hearers. Twice Miss Dickinson
was called before the curtain , and
upon the lirst occasion she was pre
sented with a beautiful basket of
Sewers , but it is not unfair to nay that
thesa manifestations of approval were
tendered her because of the exalted
position she held in the hearts of the
crowded house , rather than because
of any overwhelming success which
she might have been expected to make.
Miss Dickinson has assumed a role
which she carries well , and one in
which she may improve ; but her
capacity for the correct depiction of
the character in the emotional form is
the capacity of a woman , and when she
attempts the stronger passages , in
stead of acting , she rants.Vero
Miss Dickinson us yet unknown na
tionally , or wore Her talents yet un
tried by the public , such 'criticism as
appears above would , perhaps , seem
unkind. But she is frank and honest
enough to invite candid criticism , and
its publication can do her no harm.
As Hamlet Miss Dickinson's ' great
feat to accomplish is to throw oil' the
woman and play the man. If she can
do this , her representation of the
character will como as nearly to per
fection as canbo | achiovodby anyone.
In the support the company is very
strong. The following is the cast
which played last evening , and refer
ence to the names will bo sufliciont to
indicate the high character of talent
which Miss Dickinson has been fortu
nate enough to gather about her :
Ghost of Hamlet's father , Mr. Chas.
Ovorton ; King Claudius , Mr. L. F.
Rand ; Laertes , Mr. Bennett Mat lack ;
Horatio , Mr. Percy Hunting ; Polo-
nious , Mr. H. N. Wilson ; Rosecranz.
Mr.Vm. . H. Spencer ; Guilden-
stern , Mr. Franklin Bernard ;
Bernardo , Mr. Joseph Waters ;
Marcolius , Mr. J. W. Archer ;
Francisco , Mr. Edwin Redloo ; First
Actor , Mr. T. M. Jackson ; Second
Aactor , Mr. Thos. Potter ; First Gravedigger -

GravodiKgor , Mr. M. P. Robinson ;
Priest , Mr. R. Sheppard ; Osric , Miss
Jnlia DoYoung ; Ophelia , Miss F. M.
Bates ; Queen Gertrude , Miss Carrie
Jamison ; Player Qucon , Miss Ella
Robertson.
Everything in the line of scenery
and Btugo appointments worked like a
charm last evening , and ono of the
most pleasing features of the play was
the short time between acts. Be
tween the iirst and second acts the in
termission was only two minutes.
On the whole , the performance of
"Hamlet" was a success , as far as ap
plauding favor could bo gauged. To
night the company appear in "Tho
Lady of Lyons. " Misa Dickinson will
play Olaudo Melnotte.

Sweet By-and-By , " which was ar
ranged expressly for her by L. F.
Brackolt , of Boston , was tried by the
club , with most satisfactory results.
The singers are carried nway with it
and pronounce it the most
magnificent arrangement that could
possibly bo niado and say it will
bo ono of the. big features of
the evening. In this piece the club accompanies -
companies MiasKolloggduringhcr solo
with a humming accompaniment , join
ing in with full effect in the chorus.
Miss Kellogg will arrive in the city
to-morrow and will rehearse with the
lub this evening.
Seats which were placed on sale in
Council BlulTs are reported as being
nearly all sold and it is expected that
at least two coach loads of visitors
will como over from that city , who
will bo taken back on a special train
about mid night.
Mr. A. D. Morris , the secretary of
the club , has received word from Fre
mont and Lincoln that there will be
quite a number in attendance from
each of those places , and making in
quiries in regard to seats.
The house will undoubtedly bo
packed from pit to dome , and the
boyn deserve it for their concert will
bo one cf tUo great musical events .of
the season.
FCOB of Doctors-
The fee of doctors is an item that
very many persons are interested in
just at present. Wo believe the
schedule for visits is § 3 , which would
take a man confined to his bed for a
year , and in need of a daily visit , over
$1,000 a year for medical attendance
alpnol And one single bottle of Hop
Bitters taken in time would save the
81,000 and all the year's sickness.
