Now that the northwestern trtfhblca
have boon amicably adjusted hot Ht-
tlo difficulty will bo found in tottllng
all matters about which thrro Is any
mlaundorotandlng in tin gouthwcat-
crn and Iowa pools. The latter haste
to take aomo notion regarding the con
tinued diversion of business via the
Illinois Oontral'n Omaha routo. . ' [ t Is
probable that the St. P.xul & Omnha ,
now controlled by the Northwestern ,
and which forma a part of ( ho Illinois
Central's Omaha line , will break its
contract with the Illinois Central , and
thns prevent the latter from doing
any Omaha business. The North
western , which is not ovorfrlondly
towards the Illinois Central , will not
allow the contract between the Omaha
and Illinois Central to bo carried out
if it can possibly bo avoided , and rail
roads have never yet found great difll-
mlty in breaking a contract when they
: olt inclined to do so.
As regards the formation of n
; onornl lumber pool on all lumber
rmn Chicago and Wlaconsin and
Mississippi river pblnts to Missouri
rivur pointo there can bo bat little
doubt that the obj tot will now bo ac
complished , as the Oraoha line , which
has canned most of the trouble , will
bo galdod by the Northwuntorn'a no
tion , and the latter has all along been
in favor of such a pool. The lumber
rates arc so low now that the roadu
are loting money in the buslneta , itnd
they are only too anxious to have the
ratua restored to paying figures. Mr.
GoorRO Olds , of the Missouri Prtciflu ,
who haa boon intrusted with the tuik
of arranging dlvisiona andporountaguo
for the various lines and routes , haa
boon atudying the arguments of the
various lines far some days , nnd ho will
bo prepared at the next mooting to
glvo his decision.
In regard to the proposed formation
of a pool on passsngor busineea between
twoon Chicago and St. Louis , Chicago
and Kntiaao City , nnd St. Louis and
Kansas City it is safe to say that ne
suoh pool will bo formed , as there is
too wide a difference regarding tlits
matter between the various roads ,
The stand taken by the Hock Island
and Alton regarding the matter of pay-
"ng commissions for the aalo of tickoto
s an insurmountable obstacle in the
way of the formation of suoh a pool.
In order to avoid another war on
Southwestern passenger rates it is
qulto probable / that Homo ironclad
agreement for the maintenance nf uni
form rates will bo adopted. Chicago

A few congenial spirits mot acci
dentally in the rotunda of the Pftiton
Ohristumi night. They had boon
spending the evening variously , and
all were as happy as they may bo ex
pected to bo who have spent Christmas -
mas in ideal ways ,
The easy chairs And settees of the
hotel were vacated and the marble
halls of the great csravansary were
almost as silent as the bosom when
the spirit has departed ,
The gentlemen of pretty Jato
hours wore convening very pleasantly.
An occasional subdued yet hearty
laugh told that the late hour had
not the potency to impel them to
their couches.
A general murmcr of approval of
something ono of thorn had said , had
died away , when slowly and in the
the direction of the chattering coterie ,
caino the measured tread ot an ad
dition to their number. Ho was n
Farnam street merchant , worth thous
ands , and caring loss for ono of thorn
than others would for a dollar. But
ho disliked to bo cheated. And he'd
spent many a ducat to catch and re
ward the man who succeeded in do-
fraudlny him. Uo had just bcou
cheated and his frlonda were uwaro of
it. It was a matter of but a few dollars
lars , yet it galled him grievously.
Slowly , with hands in his pockets ,
lazy demeanor nnd corrugated brow ,
ho advanced. ' 'Gentlemen , " said ho ,
"I haven't found the kangaroo that
robbed mo of my thirty-five dollars ,
But I will if it coats mo Cvo hun
dred. "
" 01 let it drop , " oxclolmod ono of
the listeners ; "hu'n only a cur , any
way. "
"Thirty.fivo dollars , did you say ? "
asked a second. "Why , I heard a
party at tnblo say , to-dny , ho could
provo you had lost but $15 , and the
article you HnloT- < "
"Fifteen dollars , bo blessed ! It's
nothing of the kind. I hoard that
myself. I'vo hoard a half hundred
people talk of this business , and some
wunt to make it appear I'vo lest $50 ,
I'm tired of thia , I'll prosccutu the
next man I hoar talk about it , " said
the injured merchant.
Ho win turning sway offendodjivhon
ono of the gentlemen overtook him to
talk with and placate him.
And while thli was transpiring
the acribo learned the cause of the
trouble.
A cuatomcr had bought a chair for
$5 , and had offered in payment a $20
bill , The clerk had to go to the bank
for change. Returning , $15 were
given the customer in ohungo , who
also took the piece of furniture and
disappeared. The bank discovered
the bill to bo n counterfeit and de
manded that it bo rodoomod. And so
it was. The chair man had given his
chair ai.d fifteen dollars to the custo
mer , and had given $20 to the bank
and claimed consequently that ho had
lost $35 and the chair.
Some of the party hold ho had lest
$40 , others $20 , others $25 , and
others still , many and various sums.
Indeed the gathering seemed likely
to repeat the scones which distinguish
ed the graduates' dinner when the
electoral commission was introduced
as a topic. Just at the warmest mo
ment , a railway gentleman of massive
frame requested a young gentleman ,
whom ho called the "Possessor. " to
work out the problem. But the
"PoEBossor" was lost in admiration of
a hat braid , beautifully painted by
fair hands , that had just boon placed
against the canopy ot his hat.
The railway gentleman then waved
back a look from hia brow , so fixed
and white , took a pencil , called all
around him and began a di sign. It
was not after Raphaelnor Angolonor
Ilubonsj nor Macllso ; it did seem a
little distance after Bernhardt. By
moans of that design , and that induc
tion peculiar to the gravo-diggor in
Hamlet , ho demonstrated to the Far-
uam ntroot merchant that ho had lost
but $10 11 And that Fdtnam street
merchant's eyes had n far-off look , but
they saw nothing beyond the railway
gentleman , The silence was ono of
suspense , Was the merchant con
vinced 1 Ho rose slowly , turned on
his heel , and walked away. The con-
vivialists looked each ether in the
fuco. Ono of thorn was about to
apeak , when the merchant returned ,
" ( Jcntlomon , " ho said , "I om't nay
that my friend , " gently pressing
the railway gentleman's shoulder ,
ia right I won't say that he's wrong ;
"I will say that ho haa inado mo fool
queer , as did a banker , to-day , who
proved to mo I had lost $50. This ia
the bast fifteen or fifty puzzle over in
vented. I'll let any of you patent it.
In conclusion , gentlemen , I have left
my pocket-book with a gentleman in
an adjoining room on this floor , and
when you are thirsty you'll iind that
he'll find something in it to assuage
the fooling. " And then ho walked away.
It happened at that moment that all
the gentlemen were thirsty , and they
wont and were thirsty no moro.
It Is still an open question , How
many dollars did that merchant ioso ]

Among the holiday festivities , the
"Oaristmas Grectim ? " tendered the
Sabbath school children of the Con
gregational chnrsh on Monday evening -
ing , under the auspices of the officers
and teachers , was ono of the most en
joyable events of the sjison. The
church was brilliantly lit up by half
past seven o'clock , at which time
their frionda and relatives had filled
the church , Much pains had bocn
taken , and no oxppnso spared , in dec
orating the church with appro
priate designs , wreaths nnd fig
ures , In front of the pulpit
stood twooadar trees hung with num
erous presents of variegated colors ,
thickly studded with small wax candies -
dies suspended from their Blunder
twigs , through the foliage of which
gleamed their flickering ll hio. Ba-
twoon these luxuriant trees was ar-
rangnd a small archway in the shape
of a rainbow covered with evergreens ,
in which wan closely dotted small wax
oandloi of diversified colors , Imme
diately back of this , and on an elevated -
vated plain , WAD orostedtho homo nnd
retreat of Sinta Clause , the sides and
ends of which were made of fine
lace curtains , covered with
a choice selection of .over-

was lined with cotton flskou and pres

overhead was worked in letters of
croon , "Glory to Gad. Peace on

indescribable beauty , and ono which
will ba long remembered by" these

once , in the mida ; of the musical exer

audience , and from which ho dispensed
his gifts , to the delight and joy of his
juvenile claimants.
The exorcises were short , spicy and
entertaining. Good order prevailed ,
the mualo was good and the festivities
were enlivened by occasional ad
dresses from Hov , Mr. Shoirill nnd
General Howard , who narrated a few
atorioa in their ucual graceful stylo.

THEATRICAL TALK.
An Interview With the Madison
Spare Theater Manager ,
Ihe "Eameralda" Company En
Route to the Pacific Coiat ,
Mr. Charles Blanchott , welt and
favorably known as a theatrical man
ager , arrived in Omaha Sunday , en
route for San Francisco , where ho is
to look af tor the interests of the Madi
son Square theater's bun'ntfw One
of our reporters found him in a Pull
man car , and secured an interview ,
which was substantially as follows :
"I am going to San Francisco , " said
Mr. Blanchott , "In advance of the
Now York company , where wo expect
to do a handsome business during the
season. This will bo my fourth trip
to the Pacific coast , and I never have
gene with rcoro confidence than I now
havo.
"You know that Messrs. Gustavand
Charles Frohman have leased Bald
win's theater , and the first attraction
which they will proaont to the San
Francisco public will bo n Madison
Square company withaMadisou Square
Homo company. "
' 'What do you mean by a Homo
company. "
"I moan. " resumed Mr. Bianchott ,
"tho Now York theater's stock c m-
piny engaged to play only in How
York city , and not , as a rule , to travel.
It ia for this reason that wo have had
considerable trouble with a portion of
the members. You see , they expected
to play in Now York , where they had
leased apartments , and had made their
arrangomonln for a long stay. You
know how actresses like to fix up their
quarters , and , of course , you under-
derstand that when a woman gets her
glided bird cages properly suspended
in the most healthful corner of the
room , and secures stabling for her pot
dogs duiing the winter , she considers
herself happy , and nothing short
of earthquakes or a double
salary can induce her to
leave such ( Dithotio convenience.
Consequently this San Francisco
scheme of ours completely upsets
their plans and the most plausible of
managers had to employ his bast arts
in persuading them to listen to reason
and business. The matter waa finally
arranged satisfactorily nnd everybody
was induced to undertake a long jour
ney to the Pacific coast. You and I
know perfectly well that the jonruoy
across the plains in a Pullman palace
car is delightful recreation , and any
actor who has made the trip is glad to
make it again , but these 'Eitnerelrla'
people in New York could not bu
hired to believe it until after o din-
penaation of a large amount of olo-
quenco. "
"I suppose yea prefer to take aNew
Now York city company to the Pacific
coast ? "
' 'Yes , wo take the regular Now
York stock company acroaa the conti
nent to give Baldwin's thcatro a first
class cast and to produca our plays in
every respect na elaborately and as
effectively as they were brought out
in Now York by the homo manage
ment. "
"What plays are to bo producud in
San Franci&co ? "
" 'Esmerelda , ' 'Young Mrs. Win-
throp , ' and probably a now play by
Fred. Manden , which has been the
subject of considerable talk in the
newspapers , "
"Will your company appear in
Omaha ? "
"Yes , for ono night on the 8th of
January. 'Eimorolda' will be played ,
and probably we nil ! give you 'Young
Mrn. Winthrop' on our return. "
" ' '
'JTsmorolda' was a great success
in Now York ; equal to H&zal Kirke ,
waa it not1'
"Oh , yea , 'Esmeroldn1 was the play
that run three hundred and titty
nights and was drawing immense
houses. Wo were forced to take it
off to make room for 'Young Mrs.
Wintluop , ' according to the contrails
with the author Mr , Branson How
ard. "
"What are the featureo of
relda1'
"It is a North Carolina play ,
strength , lies in the beauty of.
action and the simplicity of ltn
structlen. The opening scones
laid at the toot of the famous Bald
mountain in Nortlx Carolina. You
knowtha lt is the mountain where
earthquakoffaro said to have occurred
a few years ago , Uhl many of tho.pao-
plo declared they saw smoke issue
from the top of the mountain. So
much was said about it that dispatches
appeared in all the papers , and the
Now York Herald rent a special cor-
repoudont down there to investigate
the matter. This beautiful romance
of Esmeralda begins in that pictur
esque region , and after gaining the
profound interest of the audlonce , the
BCiMiea are trut sported to Paris , where
the simple country girl blooms into a
beautiful gAmorlcan woman abroad ,
and ho > lovar , Dave Hardy , who has
the ill will of a cruel and grimping
mother , 'also appears as a starving
artist. But kind friends see him
'through. ' Some land that ho owns
in North Carolina proves immensely
valuable. The cirl'o mother loses all
her property. DAVO marries the pirl
and is made so happy that the audience
once applauds to the echo. "
" 'Young Mrs. Winthrop' which is
also to follow 'Esmeralda' , has also
made a great hit in New York. It is
an American play founded on a French
model , but so entirely original and
local that the Now York critics pro-
nounca it of the most successful of
native plays. Mr , Bronson Howard
la now resting OH his laurels in Europe ,
and his fame is considered secure for
alltlrao. "
"This play , young Mrs. Winthrop
tolls of the trials of a young married
eonplo who lost their only child , Tha
husband ia a broker end the wife a
fashionable young woman of good
aensb at heart , but who through jeal
ously plunges into the gayeties of fashionable -
ionable life and becomes so completely
estranged from her husband who is
really too devoted to her that after the
doatt of the child a friendly lawyer is
called in to draw up articles of separa
tion ; but when the young wife dis
covers that her husband'o buslnees
from home was to prevent her brother
who hold a confidential position irom
being sent to otato prison she eecs
how terrible her mistake has been and
the play closoa with another reconcil
iation androsump'bnof ' thooldlovo "
"Will your company go beyond the
Focifio coast ? "
"I think it will. Negotiations are
In Australia
now pending with managers
tralia to send out a Madison Square
Theatre Company intact and produce
the plays that received so much favor
in this country. There is no doubt
that Australia is a great field for the
atrical enterprises when j.Uys h ve
merit. Human nature is about the
same the world over particularly so in
Australia , which is composed largely
of Eoplish people who appreciate
everything of an emotional and domes *
tlo nature in the drama notwithstand
ing the alleged success of blood curd
ling inolo drama in that country. "
