General trnilo In the Jobbing district may be said to be fairly good ii nd few complaints nro voiced. The vol ume of business transacted Is fully 15 percent greater than for the same tlmo InlfeO. and we iiavo hud fewer failures and better collections within the commercial district tributary to Omaha , so that jobbers are not Inclined to growl In fact.

HOW JAMES POWERS STABTED. The OlTemo of Stnpo Mrs. Burnett and the Failure of Phyllis Mozart Mnnuocripta Kountl Unrrctt'd Hnmlct , The variety show is a jrood school for como- Ulnns , to Judge by sucli graduates as Francis Wlson , Henry E. Dlxoy , N. C. Goodwin , Ed ward Harvipiu , James Powers and many other funny and reallj artistic actors , while negro minstrelsy has sent to the dramatic stage Nell IBurRcss , Charles Keed , Frank Daniels and similarly successful entertainers , , says the Xew York Sun. Powers talks auto- biofcraphlcally as follows , and whether alto gether veradoiftly Is a matter between him self and Ills conscience : "I'm- New Yorker by birth. At the ago of thirteen my father took mo to sea .a performance by Bryant's minstrels. I became staga struck then nnd there. I thought of nothing else but that performance. I couldn't study my lessons , and I was withdrawn from school , and my father got employment for mo to run cable messages for the Western Union from the Dey street ofllce to Bowling Green. Ono day a man caiuo to the ofllco to send a mes sage ) to England. It was banded to mo. I put it in my pocket nnd two minutes later felt for It and couldn't find it Ten days afterward I found it in the bottom of my coat. You see there was a hole in the pocket I absent-mindedly delivered It then to the man who sent it Complaint was made at the ofllce and I was discharged. A cousin of mine was superintendent of the Pa cific tea company , and he hired mo. I had a good time with the pretty girl customers. The head salesman didn't object Ho said my versatility would draw trade. I also chatted with women. After awhile I got to giving them overweight The boss discovered it , and I was discharged. Next I was a clerk in the butter and cheese exchange. I was getting to 1x3 a big boy then. I was stuck on my shape nnd imagined myself destined to be a pugilist Over the door leading to my employer's private oftico I placed a sandbag. I practiced often. Ono day , Just as I struck the sandbag a violent blow , my employer appeared. A collision occurred. I was seventeen then. I organ ized a minstrel company. There were eight of us , and we had fii between us. Because I had n hupe paste diamond and patent leather shoes I was made manager. Our first stop was at Yonkers. The receipts amounted to $1.95. We admitted two boys for 3o cents , because they were brothers. Xcst wo went to Poushkeopsie. We played to 4.50. The bass drum broke during the performance , nnd as we hadn't enouch money to get it repaired we had to disband. The following summer found me at Long Branch. A clever voting fellow named Carney nnd mvself Joined H variety show there. Our specialty was sing ing and dancing. I remained with the com pany two ycai-ts and then was engaged to be n clown in Van AmberglVs circus. ' The close of the circus season found mo loitering about the Kialto. Jt being late in the season. I had considerable difficulty in securing an engagement Finally I accepted an offer to be the villuin in 'Wild Ilose ' a blood curdling melodrama which was being murdered at a theatre in the Bowery. I found nil the members of the company on their uppers. Their clothing was seudv and their means scanty. It was in marked con trast to the scene In the first act It repre sented a parlor on Fifth avenue. The lead ing man said to the young lady , 'Have you been to the opera this > evening ! ' and she re plied sweetly , 'No. Reginald , I didn't go , as I felt indisposed : au revoir. ' The nexi act represented a dingy barroom. The villain encounters Wild Koso. Then I hissed be tween my clenched teeth , 'Gimme that will , Wild Cat , or I'll kill you and feed your carcass to the dojrs. ' "Wild Cat never gives up nothia' , ' she replied trium phantly , receiving heavy gallery applause. 'Young woman , ' I cry at the top of my voice , at the same time drawing a revolver and ad vancing to within three feet of her , 'I will give you three minutes in which to make up your mind. If you refuse I will k-i-1-1 you , ' 'Great heavens ! ' Wild Cat replies , 'have I only three minutes to live ? Before you kill me let me sing the song my mother taught me.1 The baud strikes up , she advances to the footlights and sings : "Stick to Your Mother , Tom.1 It took her six minutes to sing the song , she having received three en cores. " Powers soon left the company. The role of a villain did not suit a natural born comedian. Ed Harrigan recommended him to Willie Edouin , and he successfully enacted the roll of the jwliccman in "Evaugcline. " It was a part where young Powers displayed his humor admirably , and from similar roles in farce he rose to comic opera. Exafiffcratloiis. * An auditor , unused to stage language and ways nnd coming to the theater straight from the street , the exchange , the counter , the mess or the drawing room wherever , In short , men and women congregate could hardly , I think , fail to be struck by a certain falseness , a certain over emphasis and especially a certain long-drawn exaggeration of the pathetic tones , says a writer in the Fortnightly Hevicw. He would think It gro tesque , and he would probably think it un- pli-usant It is a note not to bo heard in daily life , for we are an undemonstrative people by nature , and pride ourselves on getting through the crises of our lives in dumb show , with no more than a word or two. This Impassive attitude , some think , is one of the best things about us. I am my self inclined to believe , after certain recent personal experiences of more- vociferous methods , that the very demonstrative nations spend more energy than we do In promise , and perhaps retaiu less for performance. On the stage , however , ana chiefly on the melodramatic stage , wo have changed nlHliis. Our men weep , our women whine ; it may bo sentimental , which is quite another thing from pathetic , but it is a singularly long way removed from our ordinary English way of taking the facts of existence. In the course of the past summer the pres ent writer was listening to ono of the most popular plays of the season. Two young ladles of pleasing exterior , very competent players , had taken the stage ; ono was re counting her misfortunes to the other. "Now " I thought "was , , ever anything more unlike to the behavior of any two sane Eugllshwonien than that of thcso young activsses , the tearful faces , the spasmodic medic gestures , the long-drawn , woeful utterance , and the various traditional stage tricks of speech and manner ! " And I re flected that the young ladies themselves were not responsible for their departure from na ture , but the fashion of tbo times which calls for such exaggerations. At tills moment a itratipcr sitting at my side could bear it no longer ; he moved impatiently in his scat and expressed his indignation in a whispered com ment in my ear : "I beg your pardon , sir , but what two confounded idiots I'1 I imagine this gentleman , whoso speech was educated and his face intelligent may have lived long enough away from London melodrama land to have forgotten that it Is a region where a dialect of its own prevails , accompanied by contortions of the face and body , rollings of the eyes , emotional gurglings , hisses , and iiuskliioss , which never accompany the speech of the English men and women of the world we live In. Woultl Accept Xo Royalty. When "Phlllls" was damned with faint praise out of courtesy to the authoress who aad had successes , it was thought that the whole story was told. Not so , The best of .ho story was u secret , says the Boston Homo Journal. When "Phyllis" was written the manager a whom it was submitted saw ot oiice that tuero wan no draught in it It was , how ever , difficult to say to the most successful woman writer in HUH country , l > oth In a fin ancial and popular sense , "Your play Is a Failure " The manager wus more clever than that Ho distributed the parts. He rain-da rehearsal and invitoj the AUthorcM to over see It. Bhe cunio. sue sat it out * , she saw the ; ruth at oiife , With a'-ltako of her short uload"ha.rf unsaid to the manager , "That won't go , win It i ' aad the tuanag < r cour- . teouMy said , "No , Mrs. Burnett , not * i His. " She took It nwayj she worked on It ; and again It was submitted to the managerH was yet encouraging. In the meantime-Mr. Field , who had secured the Boston rights , wns prepared to put It on ou the Mrcnsth of tie actress to play Phyllis thought that slio was point : to make the hit of her life ; the Juvenile thought that she had the fattest part on record. And yet the play failed. Looked nt superficially. It would apjiertr us if Mrs. Burnett Wns determined to hnvo the play pro duced , nnd ns if siho jxxsslbly thought more of it tlmn the managers did. This was not so , When the manager of the museum wns pre pared to send Mrs. Burnett her royalties for the production , ho was amazed nt luivliur them refused. The authore.ts peremptorily declined to tnko any money , as the piny was : i failure , and she did not feel as If , considering that It had been produced In Boston without any New York trial , and given every oppor tunity to succeed , nnd had been the ono full- tire of the season , she was entitled to any thing. I think that this Is the first tlmo on record that an author has ever refused to accept roy alties , nnd that therefore It deserves to bo recorded. Moznrt Mnnuscrlpt.i Found. An interesting discovery has been made In Manchester. While looking over some old manuscript music in the shot ) of Mr. Cornish , the bookseller , Dr. Henry Watson came upon several manuscript copies of works by Mo zart , which further examination convinced him to bo for the most part In the composer's own handwritlng.says the Manchester ( Kntf. ) Guardian. Among the manuscripts found nro two concertos written by Mozart when n child , nnd several numbers from the opera of "Mlth- ridate , " comiwsed nt Milan in 1770. The lat ter manuscript Is without doubt in Mozart's own handwriting. The copies nro In capital preservation , nnd Urn notation is clear and good. The discovery was a mere nccdcnttho ! existence of such treasures in the must v pile of apparently worthless musical litter being entirely unsusi > ectod. Yet it was from the same collection that the original score of the "Messiah , " now in Buckingham Pal ace , was brought to light about twenty years ago. The music was then In the possession of n Mr. Pcarce of Bristol , and It seems strange that after the discovery of ono valunclo manuscript no search should have been made for further autographs. It is conjectured that the scores may have been brought over from Italy by a Miss Hiirford , who was studying composition in Florence and Milan in 1S10 , for manuscript exercises by this lady , with date nnd locality marked , arc found lu close proximity to the scores. There wns a great demand for copies of the opera When it was first produced , and the original score may have been left with the copyist in Milan , and thus have been eventu ally lost IrvhiR on Wilson Barrett's Hninlct. The knowledge is very general that there exists a feeling of Jealousy between the two noted English actors , Henry Irving and Wil son Barrett , says the Chicago Herald. When the latter first resolved to come to this country it is stated that the feeling on the tiart of Irving grew very strong , and , meeU ing Barrett on the Strand one dny , ho said In his halting tones : "So eh Barrett I eh hear you arc eh going to America. " Barrett replied , In his highly dramatio voice : "Well , I had a thought of so doiugr , Irving. " "Well eh America is n ch young coun try ; good ch you know , but you must dis criminate. " "So I have a-heard , " "What do you eh propose to inflict on eh them , Barrett ? " "Well , 1 had a-first thought of playing Claudinn , nnd then , o-peruhauce , to give them Hamlet" "Hamlet ! Whv , I oh hove played Ham let there. " This was said with such an air of superior ity that Barrettwas nettled and he snapped out angrily : "Well , confound you , do you a-think you are the only man that can play Hamlet ? " "No ! uol But I ch think you ch ai-o the only man that can't" JUUSICAL AXlt JDJtAHATMC. A bust of Jules Sanders has oeen placed in the vestibule of the Theatre Francois. W. J.
