Mr. JolTerson wns dressed In black with
the rigorous exactness as to detail , of a pro
fessional man of hich ; rank. Ills smooth
shaven. Irregular icaturotl fnco looked thin
when contrasted with the broader ono of his
yis-a-vis Mr. Florence. But thcro wns n do-
Ightful look ot rosy health about the ideal
Bob Acres , nnd n sparkle in his kindly , deep
Dluo eyes that could not help but fasclnato
the spectator , Thcro is oven little sign
among the sandy hair of the touch of time
and about his form , outsiao the stoop of the
student , there is little to suggest that Mr.
Jefferson has passed the sixties along the
highway 01 n busy life.
The senior in this copartnership of art
lolds his countenance moro uudcrcontrol per
haps thun docs Mr , Florence , and dooj not
smile ns easily as the latter. Ills smllo Is in
his oyo'nnd rarely descends to the lines of his
mobile mouth. But every now and then ho
showed his enjoyment of a good point inado
by a toss of the head nnd the pleasing utter
ance of "That reminds mo , " ns some old
memory was recalled by something that had
been said before.
"TUo Rovornor. " as everybody in the com
pany calls Mr. Jefferson , wn3 in good spirits
and undoubtedly enjoyed the companionship
of the occasion.
Mr. Florence was dressed in a dark gray
frock suit , if memory bonotnt fault , and his
clcan-shnvon , jolly face was mantled in
smllos. Ho was In the pink of condition ,
and suggested n well groomed thoroughbred ,
to use an expression common to the turf.
An Kngllsh monocle is screwed into his
right Irish eye , dimming its twinkle , whlcn
was so apparent in the unohscured loft Irish
oyo. and th's ' was the only feature out of har
mony with the correct make-up of this moat
interesting comedian.
Ho Is fond of the sunshine , and loves to
sco It on the faces of those about him. But
now and than ho provokes a tear , and what a
precious tear It isl It comes from the tender
pathos that ho loves to Introduce In his Inter
pretations , taat the humor may bo in brighter
contrast.
Ho has known probably moro prominent
people , and boon intimate with them , too ,
than any actor now living. His education ,
his abilities , and his personal worth nro re
sponsible for this. Few actors have met nnd
conversed with the emperor ot Germany in
an informal way as ho has , nor have many
people been awakened from a fishing reverie
by the German emperor.
Wherever ho goes ho finds friends , admir
ers , companions. In every land and district
he flnds some ono to do him honor and take
delight In his company.
This splendid actor , who Is n flno example
of what the actor was In his duties to the
stage a roneratlon ago , has a line literary
record. Ho Is a delightful raconteur , a clover
versifier , no moan story teller , a staunch
friend , and the prince of good follows.
It was shortly after the second course had
taken the place of Its predecessor and a rare
old Burgundy had been decanted , that the
host of of the evening turning to Mr. Jeffer
son , said :
"You may not know , but the part of Dr.
Pangloss Is taken from Voltaire's "Candido , "
ono of that famous Frenchman's most noted
works wh ten wns written o vci a hundred years
ago. Colomau , no doubt , saw in this charac
ter n great satire ou English tutors and , ho
Introduced him in the ' 'Heir nt Law. ' In
Voltaire , the character is made a tutor
simply , but Coloinnu , Impressed with Its
strength nnd virility , has elaborated the role ,
making Paugloss a doctor of laws , a pedant
who was unscrupulous enough to sell his at
tainments to thrco different persons , notwith
standing , that they were diametrically op
posed. "
"Not until lost year did I know that Pan-
gloss came from the French , " snld Mr. Jef
ferson. "I had occasion to go to Mr. Sar
gent's ' studio in Now York to talk over with
the arrtist a picture ho intends to paint of
mo in the part of Dr. Pangloss , and it was
then that Air. Sargent told mo that Pangloss
wns not original with Colomnn , but
with Voltaire. So ho sent mo the
the story sorao thcso days I will read It.
In fact I am looking forward to the tinio
when I can get into n corner and absorb some
of the literature of the ago. Until "now , with
acting , painting , HshiDp.farmlng and writing
I have had little time to read the things which
other people discuss so learnedly. "
"You have not been unsuccessful yourself
In a literary way , Mr. Jefferson , " said Mr.
llosownter.
"Well no man could have boon moro sur
prised at the success of the book than I have
been.
"After I hnd signed the contract with the
Century people I would huvo given twice
the sum to have succeeded in getting thorn to
cancel it. It became a positive burden I
may say old man of the sea to mo until I hod
gotten Into the work.
"Why I used to think of things in the
night time and I would get up out of bed and
make a memorandum of them. This I found
of great advantage , wnon I came to putting
the finishing touches to the work which the
publishers tell mo is haying an unprece
dented salo.
' I believe a man has ono book in him "
"Yes , and In many cases that ono book Is
infernally bad , " Interjected Mr. Florence ,
who up to this time had been attending
strictly to the course bcfora him.
"In my case , " resumed Mr. Jefferson , "It
couldn't boa second. I prohahly hnd some
thing to say , and navlng said It , I am qulto
willing to stop without uttomntlng anything
else thnt might prove an autl-cllmax.
"I had intended to leave o frloud seine
memoranda for a history of the Jaffursons to
bo published after my death , but T could not
withstand the Importuniugs of Mr. Gilder ,
nnd the result is very gratifying to mo. "
"But how wonderful has been the growth
of Omaha , " said Mr. Jefferson , changing the
subject dottly from himself.
"Twenty years ago 1 played in the Academy
of Muslo then under tno management of a
man bv the name of Corrl , and I played 'Kip
Van Winkle. ' I remember it wollj ns If it
were but yesterday.
"What great times wo did hnvo to get to
and from the railroad station , nnd what
forlorn looking place was this sumo Omaha.
"High hoi times have changed , and If some
of my eastern friends could see Omaha now ,
TnuBEi ; buildinc , they would not believe ]
am out playing to the Sioux Indians , in mo
mentary danger df Imviug my thin scalp-lock
taken from mo. "
"Speaking of TUB BEB , " eald Mr. Florence ,
"reminds tno of a cluver epigram which the
Boston Herald used to sijuolcli a would-be
rival called the Jiostou Bco. It ran lu this
wlso :
" How doth the little Boston lice
Imniovo its dally ipaco ?
Hy BtonllnRall its thunder
1'rom the Herald , without Rraco. ' "
Then the guests gave Mr , ICosewatcr an op
portunity to tell the story of his busy , stir
ring life , hofnrodunng and slnco the war. by
their questions as to how Tun BEB came into
existence.
Again was the subject changed and th.
Shnkespcarc-nacon controversy came up , In
which all the guests took n hand , and strangi
to say alt wore Shakcspoarans.
"Actors have a traditional regard for
Shakespeare , " sold Mr. Jefferson , "that time
cannot wither or custom stolo.
"To mo it seems especially ludicrous tha' ' .
Shakespeare could have taken time to
have inserted in his plays t
cryptogram or wlioercr wrote the plays o
linkcspoaro netting forth that Bacon hnd
vrltlcn thorn , as Mr. .Donnelly nllogcs ho
Id do. i
' For centuries helms continued to bo the
great source of dramatic Inspiration nnd will
o continue for , cnnturioq to come.
"I have an Idea about this controversy
vhlch I think U now , certainly I bnve never
ecu It In print , and it istUl.i ! Bacon wns n
onnctcerjso wasShftkospearo. Nowdocsn't It
ecu strntiRO that Bacon should have selected
ho inorcjt of his sonnets to which ho gave
its unrno and credited AVlU.tihakespcaro with
ho bcstt
"In Elisa's time the maker of sonnets was
onld upon ns a genius nnd It occurs to ino
hntlf Bacon had writtennil that ho Is crea
ted with by the Unconlans ho would have
saved for himself tUo beautiful bits of versifi
cation wlilck npponr In Shakespoare.
"Consider thnt the groitost domestic com
edy of nil time , 'Tho Merry \Vivci of Wind-
for , ' was written by Sliakcsi > enro. As ho
also wrote the greatest tragedy , 'Julius
'iL-sar , ' the brightest romantic comedy , 'As
You Llko it.'tho greatest melodrama , 'Tho
Winter's Tale , ' the greatest domestic tragedy ,
'Othello. ' ' "
"And the most elaborate spccUiciilar play
.u 'The TempostM'snld one of the guosts.
"Hero was the most marvelous Introspec-
Jonlst of all time , " continued Mr. Jefferson ,
'and ' ho can almost ho said to hnvo hcen di
vine , for ho wns gifted with the light which
' . not on land or on sea. "
"All this controversy reminds moot n story
! once heard , " said Mr. Floronco. "Thoro
was once n great big man , may bo six and n
mlf feet high , built In proportion , and ho was
married to a little bit of a woman who was n
virago In disposition , nnd she used to bent
icr husband unmercifully. Ono day n friend
iskcd him why ho allowed his wlfo to beat
ilm in such an unheard of way , and ho re-
tiled thnt the beating didn't hurt him , and
javo her a great deal of pleasure.
"Now tliat ills the present attack on the
memory of ShnkcsDcaro , "
Everybody bad a good laugh over the story
'
'or the application was so apparent.
Mr. lioscwater then observed thnt Bacon
could not have made the mistake of locating
an Inland sea in Bohemia which Shakespeare
speaks of and Mr. , icfforsou said that Shake-
spenro's law was particularly lame , some-
fling that was ImiMSslhlo with the gifted
nnd erudlto Francis Bncoa.
"Olio thing about Shakespeare , " said the
lost , "ho has created the most inconsistent
character la the whole domnln of tlio stage ,
nnd that Is 'Richard | HL' I can | conceive of
no moro unnatural sight ttian when lilchnrd
moots Anne in the street on her way to the
church yard with her dead , and commences
to woo the widow of the dead klnor.
"Thnt is a lllght which ovou Klchard , cruel
md despicable ns bo was , would spurn.
\lnrlcyou \ , hero wns a woman who saw bo-
tore her the murderer of alt she hold dear ,
nor sou and her husband , nnd yet Shakespeare -
spearo makes her listen to the tale of love
which is in Klchard's head and not in his
heart , and finally gives the murderer
of her honored dead , encouragement
a his wooing. That to mo is the
most unaccountable scene In the
whole domain of the literature of the stage. "
"You are qulto right , " said Mr. Jefferson ;
'tho same idea -has occurred to mo , but I
icvor know thnt any one clso had thought of
It. It is the only flaw I know of in Shake
speare's plays. But wo sometimes crowd a
whole year or many years into n sluglo not ,
or very often scene , ana this may bo ono of
these instances. "
"Isn't it surprising , " inlorrupted Mr. Flor
ence , "thnt many of the mot accurate de
scriptions of places wor never seen by the
men who pictured theral Shakespeare
speaks of Illyrln and deicrlhos it most
minutely. Dickens wrote of Paris long be
fore ho had over seen the city. Longfellow
gave us his beautiful description of tho'i'echo
xmntry in Louisiana , through the medium of
'Evangellno'and ho novcr visited the coun
try , to mv knowlodgo-tcertaitily not until
long years after his story had found a plnco
upon every table , almost , in the land.
"It is this gift which distinguishes the
; onlus from the commoner clay , which sends
the name of Shakespeare , Dickens and Long
fellow ringing down the ngcs.
"By the way , " continued ilr. Florence , "I
liad a very delightful visit with Colonel Mike
Sheridan , and only until this evening did I
taow that ho was LtttlaPhll's' ' brother.
"And the mention of General Sheridan re
calls to mo a story In which ho figured most
'
prominently. ,
"For a number of years I have boon visit
ing the battlefield of Waterloo , nnd naturally
grew to know the host guides. An old
Frenchman , whoso name is Gouroc , has boon
piloting mo over the Hold for several seasons ,
having bcoii ono of the men who fought
under the banner of the 'Littlo ' Corporal. '
"Ono summer 1 told a number of
American friends who wore going abroad to
visit the battlefield and get old Gouroc
to pilot them about.
' The following summer I paid a visit to
the historic spot and mot Gouroc. who , of
course , was delighted to see me. Ho told mo
In his hrokon Englishwhich ho had acquired
from English and American tourists , thnt 'a
countryman of nuncn little man with zo head
of zo Napoleon , " had boon there nnd knew
more about the battle than ho did himself ,
" 'Why , ' said the Frenchman , 'ho toll mo
where zo Napoleon stood In zo charge , whcro
everybody stood , until 1 vender if ho was zo
second Napoleon. ' >
"I went over the whole list of my friends
in America , but no ono answered the descrip
tion of n 'littlo man with zo head of Na
poleon. ' ,
"Old Gouroc wns not satisfied. Ho wanted
motoknow the Amoncan who had brought
bade n Hood of recollections hocnuso of his
resemblance to Napoleon. So ho wont to his
tent nnd shortly brought u caid which the
citizen of the United States had given him.
"In looking nt it what was my surprise to
sco upon it the name 'Phil Shendnn' written
In the general's own hand.
"And strnnco to say I hud never noticed
the resemblance before.
"Tho knowledge shown hy General Sheri
dan of the disposition of the troops at the
battle of Waterloo was not remarkable , for
the manoeuvres of that day are part of the
course nt West Point , and every detail of the
battle is given with exactness. Of course ho
knew moro of the battle than did the mnn
who was 'in it. Ho had studied it from the
standpoint of the soldier , "
It was nearly the first hour of the morning
when the little company loft the dining room
and the visit of Jcllorson nnd Florence to
Omaha became a reminiscence.

The beautiful young actress , Cora Tanner ,

To make his patrons merry , the manager

company. They will appear this ovouing in
the ronrine musical larco comedy , "Tho Two

the moro they see of U the moro they wlsl

the sympathies ot the audlonco from the

Ing a week's engagement says : The Two
Slaters' was a success u moro prououuco
success than was 'The Old Homestead' ' whoi

nuthorof the military drnma "Held by the

Private Secretary. "
From the Initial performance ftt Its prodiic-
.lon nt the Mndlson Square ' .heater. Now
York , covering over three hundred nights at
tils famous dramatic fountain-head , it has
ivcr berne the sumo magnetic influence.
Every whore C ? llletto's ' "Secretnry" is a wel
come visitor , nnd ho has been interviewed by
moro pcoplo , and many moro friends , than
any other character thnt has over graced the

The presence of Charles Blanchett in.
Dinaha recalls the pleasant recollection bf
ho "Wild West" plays at Doyd's opera
louse , with the heroic Indian scout Hon. W.
IT. Cody ( Buffalo Bill ) and the gallant mill-
-ary author , Major Andrew S. Burt , who
vas the olUccr In charge ) at the Omaha bar >

The sensational heroic border drama , "Tho
Cnlpht of tlio Plains. " or "May CodyLo'st
and Won , " hy Major Hurt ; thcro wai a blood
curdling tltlo for you I And the display of In
dian paraphernalia la the show windows ,
vlth the exhibit of scalps as trophies from
.ho heads of the "varmints" killed nnd taken
by "Buffalo Bill" when scoutlnc with. Gen
eral Mllo's forces In the notoj Fifth cavalry ,
n-lor to the Cutsor inassacro , were
eaUiros of such magnctlo nt-
.ractlon that people voulu crowd
around the window where the liarrow-
IIR tale was told by placards , nnd shiver at
the sight of the torn scnlis | , with the lone
dangling black hair , the tomahawks be
smeared with blood , and the moccasins aud
beaded shirts of the poor squaws and pa-
looses who had fallen In tlio trail with their
jclovcd "Lo. "
Scenes that were so strongly depleted hy
such glaring emblems ot reality , haunted the
vouthful mind and even older heads would
.urn from the ghastly omoloms , nnd thank
.heir stars they were within the borders
of civilization.
Meeting Mr. DIanchott In the lobby of the
opera house , arranging for the production of
'The Private Secretary" that Is to appear
icro the coming week , the reporter ventured
to re mark :
"Your attraction , Charlie , U qultodisslml-
nrfrom thai you wore managing when last
ncro. "
"O ; " replied the genial mnnaprer with n
< nowitip smile , "you refer to the 'Cullen
ders. ' or , probably , Buffalo Bill. Yes , In
deed I Quito a change in this city , too , sinoo
.hen. No electric of cable cars , or those mas
sive stone and brick structures ( pointing
across the street ) were thought of In 1870 ,
.ho centennial year. Well do I remember
that corner , " continued the unabashed man
ager : "Thcro stood a little novelty store
lllod with knlcK-knncks nnd bric-a-brac. I
made a contract with the proprietor for his
vlndows In lieu of a pass to tlio theater for
ili family. In order to fill up the winaow re
spectably and give It an air of Simon-pure
western characteristics , I being a little short
of scalps , found ahorso's tall at the barracks ,
tnd with the permission of Major Hurt , had
t removed from the dead cavalry horse , and
assisted by the bill-poster , wo sat down to
gether on the back steps of tbo stngo , and ,
is I directed him , ho cut off from the
all several very line Indian scalps.
[ think ono I named :
Yellow Ilorso , killed by IhifTtUo Bill May 7.
ntho llluok Hills.
Another I well remember was :
Two Hears , killed by the famous scout about

"Yes , indeed , I have seen many nn Omahn
squaw trip up to that window , take a parting ;
? lance at the scalp of that poor 'cavalry
liorso' and turn away wiping her eyes at the
loss of a Sioux buck , that had such coarse ,
manly hair. "
Tlio adroit speaker described this In a mild ,
calm manner , and excused his unique method
of advertising by contrasting it with similar
other dubious tricks that were resorted to In
Berlin , Vienna , Hamburg and other Euro
pean cities lost voar when ho took Dr. Car
ver and the "wild America" abroad. Ho
then lit a fresh cigar winked his
eye , and the little curious crowd that had
gathered to hear the plaintive story , re
marked as they strolled away : "AH Js not gold

Mr. George F. Gollcnbook , who Is ono of
the host banjo soloists in the west , has organ
ized n banjo quartette , the three other motn-
bcrs being C. Itowdcn , C. Bumgardnor nnd
A. Beaton. These gentlemen do not conllno
themselves to Jigs and the usual negro
music , but asplro to something higher In
musical art. The quartette can bo engaged
for chamber concerts by applying ut A.
Hospo's musio storo.
Inasmuch ns this is nn ago of theatrical
realism , wo have no special cause to wonder
at thnt Frenchman who has written a drama
in which the Koch lympn nnd a consumptive
man reach a triumphant climax in the last
act. After this thcro is hopa that wo may
one day have a hydrophobia play with
Pasteur as the hero. A mad dog , n mnn
suffering from hydrophobia nnd the timely
arrival of a Pastenr would stir up qulto n
stage bobbery.
Will S. Hays , the song writer , has an
nounced his determination to put ou the

question that a bona ildo minstrel show ,
without any Castllians or Venetians , without
sonors or toreadors , or any interloping Inter-
potations whatsoever , would meet a rousing
welcome. The unpopularity of minstrel
shows has gene on' increasing slnco negro
minstrelsy bognn to grow too big for its old
