Tliu Famous Caricaturist KntortuiiiH
n n Appi eclat Ivo Aiullence.
For two hours last evening Thomas Xast ,
the great caricaturistentertained a delighted
audience In the Grand opera house. Owing
to the coldness of the evening , unfortunately ,
there was not the house the distinguished art 1st
deserved , although the attendance was good.
Shortly after S o'clock the curtain rose and
Mr. Xast , clad in n gray Norfolk jacket and a
pair of brown pantaloons that looked imper
vious to paint or crayon , appeared on the
scone mid In u business-like manner com
menced his lecture. Ts'ust has a short , thick
set frame , but Is not stout , as his caricaturists
would nmko one believe. lie is as quick nnd
active as a boy of ten , mid the dispatch with
which ho dashed off his pictures was asource
of continual wonder to theaudlonce. He 1ms
a peculiarly striking coun4cnancefuH of intel
ligence nnd n glance distinguished for quick
ness and keenness of perception , In the middle
of the stage was placed the easel upon which
were drawn the pictures. Mr. Xast does nil
his own talking , and is u most agreeable sub
stitute for the alleged English humorist , 1'el-
hum , who formerly made such melancholy at
tempts to ontoitain the audiunce , while Nast
was busy at the easel.
Mr. Nust commenced his nrtistk1 lecture by
saying : "While .some men call man u laugh
ing animal , others ehooso to consider him a
tool-making animal. Ordinary artists con
sider him as the delightful creature who buys
pictures , but I UUu best to consider him as
the onlj animal thut laughs. I'll draw you
his picture. ' '
Turning to his easel , Mr. Xast drew what
appealed to bo a bowl on the top ofu stool.
Hut feet suddenly api > oared at the bottom of
the picture , hands appeared at the side and ,
by a few lightning strokes of his crayon , the
bowl merged into the body ol a corpulent
man , while , a few seconds later , the whole
was crowned with the jolliest of laughing
faces. The grin on the face was communica
tive , and a roar of laughter and applause
swept over the hou.se.
"Among criminals mid banditti , " said the
artist , "tho hearty laugh is rarely heard , and
as you get lower in the s-cnlo of life the more
gravity you Hjul in an animal. 1 will dr.iw
iou ix countenance with a more woebegone
expression than that worn by Kdwin Booth
in the opening scene in Hamlet. "
And iignin turning to his easel , with u few
strokes of his brush ho rapidly .sketched a
monkey with a face of such prolound gravity
and in such a great contrast to the laughing
face pictured beside it that roars of laughter
again echoed over the house.
Ho next wild the American people were the
most Jocular under the sun. In the English
nowsp.ipors mid books of humor , the greater
portion of thu witticisms are American. Ho
next sketched nn English cockney with the
Hritlsh lion at his side , and then appeared
the limit flguro of Unelo Sam with , his face
lit up with his usual bland
smile , mid at his side the typical
American eagle. Xot liking the position of
the lion's tail , ho longthed it outtothecaglo's
mouth , mid with two or three strokes of his
brush changed the sleepy expression of the
lion to ono ot intense agony. Air. Xast was
too modest to toll the audience , but it Is
nothing mere than justice to say lor him that
Xnst was the llrst. person to endow LTuclo
Sam with this personality tlmt is now the
model the world over for caricaturists in de
lineating the tjpical American.
Mr. Xns' next spoke of L'usarlsin , about
which theio 1ms been such a furore in the pa
lters , illustrating it with his usual eat toons.
He spoke of looking over the funny column
of a paper recently mid thinking of Iho possi
bilities of American humor. Our country
men know of no subtcet that is lee grave for
fun. A man who had died suiWleuly was
spoken of as being "blotted out ; " another
pop-on accidentally shot bi his scmasa "per
forated parent ; " the drowning eup.u'ity of
Lake Krio was spoken of us oeing live boys
mid a dog : to the death of a servant girl
Wiled while lighting a kiteheti lite with hero-
teiio was appended this verse.
Only a servant trirl ,
Simple and gieen ,
Only n can of kerosene ;
Only n lot of matches and Wood ;
Only a grease spot
Where the set vunt girl stood.
Mr. Nf.rt 'old next how he happened to be
come n caricaturist. ? di Jlrst inspiration
was druwn from the net in : * of tut * ' 'oinedl.in
llurten , whoso tnmical attitudes .md faci.it
expression ho would afterwards reproduce
on paper at his room. Xast then drew n portrait
trait In colors of Iturton in onoof his favorlto
altitudes , and with a few sweeps of the brush
changed the expression fvom fright to per
fect contentment , and then to merriment.
Hii next sketch was also in colors , represent-
um himself us u hey of fourteen applying for
the jKisitioir of an artist. Next followed n
brief hibtory of caricature and its power m
politics. Fortunntoly for the world , nearly
all caticntm-iMs have had truth , llboity and
good f < en e on their siclo.
Ne\t followed ' 'Do
\ Hoto Discovering the
Ml sl * dpp | , " in which a pair of boots were
nil that were vi iblo of the mitn above the
water , while his Imbby horse stood toppling
on t'io ' banks of the stream. Dashing his
brush through this comical pi. turc a few
times , the audience watched him curiously to
see What ko v , ' s attempting to pi-educe , when
tiirnln-f the painting upsldo down Uiero was
disclosed u 1 > oaut.ft.il picture in colors o
Tails. This wiw grccteu wuh . .
l"iid 0'itburst of upplause.
1km Hu Ur's face wai next produced in
loss than one tnhmte , after \\iMi \ fallowed
sketches of Hess Tweed and a brief history
of the notorious Tammany rinir.
Mr. Nw t tlipu fnocccded to paint ftVin -

"How cold U III" asked one of two mcu.
vho stood and looked at the thermometer on
" "arilnm street , near Eleventh about ll o'clock
ast night.
"Cold enough , " was the ready response. .
'The bulb has been driven Into the telegraph

It was not , however , as bad as that , but It
was pretty cold. The nlpht was clear'and
crisp , nnd the stillness was not broken by the
lOwlluK and piercing winds. At It o'clock
ho thermometer marked two degrees below

All the ratlrrinclrtln and out of the City were

AMUSKMKXTS.
Last night , at Uoid's , Haureis nnd Pills'
ncrman dramatic company produced 1'aul
Mndau's beautiful society comedy , "Alaria
und Alagdalena. " The story is extremely In
teresting , and the manner In which It Is told
jy the dramatist causes It readily to ap [ > eiil
to the sympathy and appreciation of the au
dience. Of its kind it was , pet-Imps , the Ilrst
which has so strongly appealed to the put-
ons of this company , and it may bo said that
ts reception was not in excess of cither its
merits or the manner in which the piece was
iroduccd. From the beginning to the close
; he play was admirably cirictcd. The ladies
md gentlemen were beautifully and appro
priately dressed , in fuel , In .teeping with the
ictors and actresses who have appeared in
the leading society dramas on the English
stage. Haureis and Pills' ' company last night
scored a success in every sense of the word
md their work warmly recommends them to
the Herman people of the city.
Tlio National Iicn uc.
The called meeting of the Irish Xational
league of Omaha , and the friends of the
cause it represent ! ) , did not attract a largo
crowd to St. Philomena's hall yesterday after
noon. Less than a do/en persons were pres
ent. The severity of the weather mid the
lateness of the call combined to make the
meeting a failure. An informal discussion
took place regarding the subscriptions made
to the fund to aid the struggle for homo-rule
in Ireland. The committee reported a con
siderable sum on hand $1X ! ( ) but owing to
the fact that the bulk of well-to-do Irishmen
in the city had not been called on , It was de
cided to make another effort before closing
the subscription. This camparatively small
subscription Is due solely to the failure of
committees heretofore appointed to circulate
the paper mid perform the duties for which
they were appointed. It was decided to hold
another meeting next Sunday afternoon , and
to ask the city council for the use of the city
hall for that purpose. Some prominent
speakers will be asked to address the meet
ing , and a live committee appointed to collect
a Christmas purse , to aid the league in Ire
land , that wlil be creditable to the Irishmen
of this city.
Talking on Prohibition.
The Metropolitan Prohibition club held a
meeting yesterday aftcinoon at the Congre
gational tabernacle. Owing to the disagree
able state of the weather and lack of suf-
licicnt notice , thcie was a very small attend
ance. Dr. Wilson was chosen temporary
chairman. Heniarks were made by Hev.
James Wilson , Kev. Cochr.in and others.
Hov. Wilson spoke of the workings of the
cause of prohibition in tiis church , and the
different societies organized for that purpose
and pronounced them failures. He knew of
only ono drunkard being reclaimed b.v them.
Ho thought that Christianity and prohibition
were inseparable. Hev. C'ochran in his
remarks thought that the main solution to
tlio temperance question was the granting of
woman's suffrage. It was suggested by Dr.
Wilson tlmt the different churches orgmii/o
prohibition clubs at the various churches , as
Jio thought many persons could be induced to
attend such meetings at their own church
when they would not elsewhere. It was de
cided to hold a business meeting at Dr. Wil
son's ofllee ou Tuesday evening.

WE EXPECTED
Our big special sale of overcoats would cause a commotion , but we must confess we never an
ticipated such arush as we had all last week , and especially Saturday. Our 35 salesmen
were busy from morning : till late at night , to wait on the throngs of customers that crowded
our store , and we regret that we were not better prepared , as even that large iorce of sales
men was not sufficient to attend to all. and a good many had to go away. Saturday's business
made big : holes in our overcoat piles , but we are not through yet. Over one hundred cases of
suits and overcoats from our great New York purchase , are still on the wav and coming in
daily , and we propose to get rid of them as fast as they come in.
Last week we have convinced thousands of customers that they never bought overcoats
so cheap as we offered them. This week we will show how low good suits can be sold. Suits
that were made by one of the best houses in the country. This is the greatest opportunity
men of moderate means ever had to procure good first class garments at about one half the
real value. We cannot describe them all , but we mention a few of the larger lots and which
are especially big bargains :
7K 30 ° ? ° ° d llcavy Cussimoro Suits , warranted strictly all wool , lined with good heavy Forgo. No all wool suit of such
1 0 quality and such make was over oil'ered for loss than $7 to ! S. Our slaughter price is1.75. .
to $12. Our slaughter price is $0.50.
This lot contains about 250 plain , double and twist , and silk mixed cassimoros , some line cheviots , elegantly made
,75 , and trimmed , every one worth $15.00 , and that is the price which other dealers would ask for them. Our slaughter
price is $9.75.
CIQ Rfl "cai'ly 4Q fine tailor made Suits , the choicest of the great purchase ; cassimeros , beautiful fancy worsteds and
$ IOluU diagonals. The material is the product of some of the best mills in the country , and some imported. These suits
were manufactured for the finest city trade , and have been made up to sell at retail for from $18 to $25. Our
slaughter price is $18.50.
Several large lots of Pea Jackets and Vests , chinchillas , plush and astrachan , lined with line cassimero and Italian
goods , which are usually sold for $10 , $12 and $18. Our slaughter price is J4.251.75 , 4'.00 ) and $1 175. A few extra fine im
ported astrachans with elegant satin lining , and fully worth ? 2S to $80 , we oll'er at $10.90.
We wish to call the attention of ladies to a small but especially attractive assortment of fine
children's overc9ats , which fell into our hands with this great purchase. These are made of the
best of material in Cassimere , Chinchilla and Astrachan , elegantly trimmed with fur and plush ,
and of exquisite designs. These garments were manufactured for the cream of city trade , and in
every respect first class. There are only a few small lots of them , and as the sizes are somewhat
broken we have marked them at about one third their real value ,
We are daily in receiptof numerous mail orders from out of town parties , and wish to say that
we cheerfully send goods by express C. O. D. , with privilege of examining when parties are willing
to pay express charges , both ways in case goods are returned , and we require a deposit to cover
such charges. We sell goods with such a small margin of profit that we cannot afford to puy ex-
pressage.
All goods marked in plain figures and at strictly one price.
