Suggestions for the Entertainment of Presi
dent Harrison and Party.
WILL ARRIVE IN OMAHA NEXT WEEK.
OIllolulH and Prominent CltiztMin Sug
gest Various MotlimlH orTenilor-

tlvo a I'M tt I UK Hcucption.
President Harrison and party will arrive
in Omaha , If the present schedule itlunrary
is not changed , on the uf tornoon of May 13
nnd will remain in the city six hours.
The presidential party has mot an ovation
nt avery city along the routn and lending
citizens of Omulm are anxious to glvo the
chief executive a royal welcome to the grrat
metropolis of the great west. How to do this
is a question that i.s being consluerod. The
following suggestions have been made by
men who usually tauo an active part in auch
events :
Major Clurkson I would suggest an ap
propriation by the city council of suftlcicnt
amount to nntortam the party in suitable
style , In order that the move might bo ouo by
the city and not by Individuals. There should
bo a committed of prominent clti/.ons , mem
ber ! ) of the city council , board of trade and
other bodies , for ttio dispensing of this money.
In my opinion tbo entertainment should con
sist of a ilrlvo about the city , and a recep
tion. This would glvo the president an op
portunity to see the city and the people and
glvo the people an opportunity
to sco him. I don't ' think it
would bo best to attempt to giva a banquet
as the president would very likely not cnro to
attend a banquet. It would bo u very good
idea for Iho governor to moot the president
nt the state line and escort him across the
state. When the party arrived at Lincoln
aim Omaha those cities could taka entlro
charge of the party , but the governor should
do the honors en routi ; .
Mr. Thomas Swobo The president un
doubtcdly comes west for the purpose
of seeing the country and the
people , nnd I think wo should do nil wo can
to further his aim. The party could bo given
iv drlvo about the city and taken to the prin
cipal points of Interest , such as the smelting
works , and , possibly , to South Omaha , to
take a view of tlio packing houses. A recep
tion would glvo the
people an opportunity to
sco the president and would probably bo ns
snllfaoiory as anything which could bo do-
visoiU
Hon. John M. Thuwton 1 think the most
important i-onsldcratloti would bo to make
seine arrangement whereby the people might
moot the president and shake hands wlUi
him , and for that puvposo a
recep
tion should On arranged at soiuo
convenient plnco where everyone
who wished might bo present. This would
occupy probably about two hours. Some ar
rangements should aho bo made for outer-
talutng the party at lunch. Tbo president
may have some preference In this matter and
his wishes should bo by all moans re.spoctod.
Then there- should bo n drlvo about the city
to the different points of Interest nnd out to
the fort. A committee should bo appointed ,
by the mayor or by a mass mooting , to go
nrouud and ralsa whatever amount U
ntcoxsary. It could easily bo done , and a
ploumnt programme might bo arnngod.
President Martin of tha board of trade I
would call n mass meeting nnd ha > o a eom-
inlttco appointed to arrange for properly en-
tortalnlng the president und party. I am In
favor of entertaining the President the best
wo know how. Ho Inu been very kind to
Omiitia in many res poets , and wo hnvo mi op
portunity of oxprenilng our appreciation. 1
uppoio the president will have soma ar
rangements of Ins own for spending-u part of
tils tlmo In Omahaanuhlsprcforoncas should
bo ascertained and arrangements made accord
ingly. Ho will arrive hero about noon and
may intend to take lunch with ox-Oovonior
Snundors und family. I Inline there should
bo u public reception and a drive about the
city. There will not bo time lor anything
el.su , nnd llmt will no doubt meet nls ap
proval.
W. H. Alexander , collector of customs
The president la making this extended
trlu for thu double purpose of recreation and
anil of seeing as much of the country and as
many of the people whom ho represents , as
possible. Ho come.s to Omaha to sco a typi
cal western metropolis. Wo nboulcl there
fore bo eager to put the city In the most
pleasing nnd attractive condition and to
muko the chief oxocutlvo'a visit n red letter
event In the Journey. The talk about federal
ofllclals hero and tlio speculation as to which
of them will bo most favored with presi
dential recognition , Is a llttlo premature , nnd
ought not to cut any llguro in
the matter because Omaha and not tlio fed
eral government Is giving welcome to the
distinguished guest. In my opinion , a drive
about the city , taking in the fort , where the
military authorities could pay their re
spects In some appropriate manner ,
would bo the most satisfying entertainment
for so brief n visit , mid in this matter the
city ofllcials should tnito the lead. Mayor
Gushing Is compatontaml courteous and Is
the ono to extend.tho city's welcome , and ho
should bo one of the president's companions
on the drlvo. Slnco the president Is to bo
hero but a few hours , probnoly nothing fur
ther could bo done by the city , oxcupt to pro
vide ample and congenial accommodations
for the party at a loading hotel.
After the city's part of the programme had
been completed , and tlmo for rest nnd re
freshment had bocngivon , it would bo proper
for the federal olllclals to assist tha president
in an Informal reception for un hour , and
tins , of course , would tuko place in the
federal bullalng. It would give our people n
chance to shako hands and exchange a word
with the nation's executive , a proceeding
which Is always uppronrinto and enjoyable In
n country so noted for its patriotism.
Should the president have tlmo and in
cllnntion for this I would throw open the
Judges' chamber on the second floor , nnd by
arranging for entrance through tha United
States district attorney's room and retiring
by way of the United States marshal's olllco
a great many persons could bo accomplished.
Senator Mnmlorson will probably bo In
should bo given the prominence
on the programme which his high
olllclnl position , nnd his Omaha citizenship
ontltlo htm to. If the president's stay wore
to bo long unough n banquet might bo given
him , but tmnouots cannot bo handled very
conveniently because only comparatively few
can bo accommodated , and they savor too
much of oxcluslvenoss to suit our western
Ideas when the guest Is ono whom everybody
desires to sou and enjoy.
It mint bo remembered that the president
Is not. coming alono. Mrs. Harmon and
other distinguished ladies will bo hero , and
Omaha would depart very widely from her
well known record for gallantry If extraor
dinary efforts were not made for I heir comfort -
fort nnd happiness.
I would suggest that while wo nro holding
a gentlemen's reception nt the federal buildIng -
Ing , should siicll plans bo acted upon the la
dles of Omaha could conduct u aluiilur af
fair In honor of thochiof lady of ttio nation
rtiul her companions.
1 have given you these ideas without much
consideration , nnd of course thov are only
suggestions. Whatever Is done.wo must keep
politics In the background , nnd 1 am sum
that every onu will fool that It is not. u repub
lican , but our president who Is to bo enter
tained , and that no reasonable effort will bo
spared to nivo to tlio cltjr a gnhi day appear-
unco and to the chief executive n pleasing
nnd n lasting impression of Omaha hospital
ity.Mayor
Mayor U. O. Gushing The contemplated
visit of President Harrison should bo made
an Important event In tbo history of the city
of Omaha. Ho U the cnlof executive of the
nation nnd as such we should not only honor
the man , out the olllco. It Is vruo that there
are many way : ) in which wo luny-cntartaln
our guest. This makes it somewhat diffcult
to say just how wo should proceed. A dele *
gntion of cltl/ona should moot thn president
nnd party nt the dejnit anil escort them to
cnrrlni M which will bo In waiting. A ilrivo
over tha principal sttvols of tlio city would
bo appropriate. Tbo citizens of Omaha will
certainly wish to greet the president , nud for
this purpose a public reception should bo held
it some place wboro tlio immense crowd can
jo accommodated. In my mind no bettor
place than the court of TUB BKB building
could bo selected. Ho , in company with n
lumber of prominent citizens , can bo sta
tioned under the dome of the building. This
will enable the largo concourse of people to
! > ass into the door , shako hands with
lim nnd then pass out. After the
conclusion of the reception , should the
president desires to address the people ho can
bo escorted to the court house grounds , from
which point bo could address the multitude.
It may bo that ho will not desire to deliver an
address. Should such bo the case some other
programme can bo outlined. A lunch must
1)0 served , not n banquet , but a light lunch
at which a number of the prominent citizens
should attend. There nro other details , but
no doubt the committee will look after every
thing in this direction. Ono thing is certain ,
and that is that Omaha must do herself
proud In honoring tha president of the United
States.
Dr. Ooorgii L. Miller The mayor , city
ofllcials and citizens should organize u recep
tion upon an intelligent basis , that all may
pay their respects to the president of the
United States. The mayor should receive
him with a suitable address of welcome , und
the business men and representative citizens
should conduct a reception that
will bo n credit to this great
city In which wo live , and of
which wo fcol so proud. I have thought of
no plan of action to pursue In this matter ,
though I presume it will bo properly handled
by the committees. President Harrison , as
the chief executive of the nation. Is entitled
to respect , and Omaha now has an opportun
ity of showing what gbo can do in honoring
her guest. When ex-Presidont Cleveland
was hero ho met with a flattering recaption
at tha hands of our citizens , and I foci that
they will not bo backward in adopting a plan
that will show their appreciation of our pres
ident and the olllco ho holds. This should
not bo done in a manner to glvo strangers the
Idea that a circus Is in town. Whatever wo
do , wo must do with dignity , to show the re
spect wo feel. Speeches will bo made and Uio
time nud place will bo selected by the com
mittee. No doubt the people will desire to
meet the president , and for this reason some
suitable place must bo selected , where ho
can bo introduced and shako hands with the
people of Omaha , nil of whom are his
friends.
Frank E. Moorcs When ox-President
.
him a royal send off and I see no reason why
wo.should not do the sumo thing when Pres
ident Harrison comes next month. Omaha is
capable of tendering him n royal reception
and as n citizen of the city , I am most em
phatically in favor of some programme that
will cause the chief executive to remember
his visit to the metropolis of the Missouri
vnlluy with feelings of pleasure. President
Harrison docs not care to como hero as n
stranger. Ho Inus boon with us before , notas
a president , bi ns n man whom wo all ad
mired , and as > .l is known by many of the cit
izens , It is but right that ho should bo given
n hearty welcome. I nm not In favor of any
show of rod lire works , but would llko to soon
n reception upon u scnlo that will show that
wo respect both the man and the ofllco. A
drlvo about the city could bo arranged after
which a publlo reception could bo hold , as I
am positive that every person in the city \vill
bo desirous of extending the hand of wol
como. Wo cannot glvo a publlo banquet ,
though 1 think a private supper attended by
the presidential party and somoot tbo loadIng -
Ing citizens would bo proper.
Chris Hartmau 1 not only consider Presi
dent Harrison the president of thu United
State. " , but I look upon him as nn Omaha
man. I am sure that ho is the owner of soino.
valuable city property , and In addition to
this , his son wedded one of our fairest
daughters. All these facts coupled together
cannot help but cause him to have n warm
plnco In bis heart for Omnhn. Omaha has n
world-wide reputation for doing the correct
thing In entertaining , and I feel sure that
jtho will do herself proud upon this occasion.
Our city la ouo of tbo lanrcst In the United
States , and as such wo have ample facilities
for affording him n pleasant stay whllo he is
with us. Kcnsts nro tiresome things , though
no doubt n light lunch should bo .spread nt
ono of the hotels or dub rooms , superintend
ed by the committees. The people will do
slro to wclcomo the president , and that they
may do so , If the weather U line , n carriage
drive about the city must bo Indulged lu ,
after which a publlo reception should bo
held.

the Rroat master's compositions really were

of Now York In honor of Director General
Stantoa and Conductor Seldl of the Metro

The following excerpts from his lecture will
prova intorcstlng reading to VVagnorltcs , and
for that matter to all lovers of music the
world over :
Tborc is n music of the heart and of the in

Music was before speech and It Is now
Musla was born of lovo. Had thcro novcr
been any affection there never would have
been a melody.
Muslo is the sunsblno and the shadow. It
is the climate of the soul.
The greatest operas of YVnpncr are woven
from the strands of lovu and death.
Love Is the greatest of all passions and
death is its shadow. .
Wagner's ' music Is sad. AIL good
inuslo is sad. Everything in the world that
Is nearly perfect is sad. Thora is a pathos in
the world that is pure Joy , that brings tears
to tlio oye.s of humanity.
Wagner and Shakespeare are alike.
In all great muslo thcro Is a touch of chaos ,
because tt is chaos that suggests the infinite.
Wagner has scuso enough to bo similar

Mllo. Yvotto Gullucrt is the fad of Paris.
Last August she wji pingini ; In u llttlo cafu
nt Montmnrtro cfilhtil Lo Divan .inponais ,
where she was discovered by some Dohotnlan
poets and JournalUts. , Thence she passed to
tlio Joyous Moiiritl . .jHoiigo , the Mabellu
of Montmartro , tlio favorite bachelors'
promoniido lu Paris. At the Moulin
Kongo Yvetto Guniiort increased her public.
She won the estodtn Sat n score of pouts and
Journalists , who began to talk noouthor In
the papers. The sou } , ' writer Xunrof found
In her an ideal interpreter of his drv and as
It wern ingenious cynicism. Theodore
Child says of this young woman :
"She is an artist , this toll , llllal , blondo-
girl. with her lips redder than popples In corn ,
tier hair brushed back in ruulaut waves , leav
ing the forehead pure , her figure long nnd
gracllo Ilka the women in tbo pictures of Wut-
te.ui and Mantogua. Decollotto extremely ,
almost down to her walste , Yvotto Gullbcrt
reveals no turgid grossuoss of person ; she Is
more lillnl than Sarah Bnrnlmrdt , only she is
more clean cut nnd If ss supplo. Yvotto , in
line , attitude and s brlety of gesture , sug
gests constantly tbo Hgures in the pictures of
the early pro-Hoplmeltto artists of Italy ; and
therein bho scorns to nio to bo peculiarly modern -
orn nnd lln do slocle , to use a meaningless
phrase , which Is , nevertheless , acquiring n
meaning ,
"In Yvetto Gullbcrt's features there is
something delicate , something singularly
vivacious and intelligent ; In the lines of the
body the excessive lengtblness is augmented
by the effect of very long black glovoscovor-
ing the arms , nnd by the" small anclo of the
docolletago , which is all In length rather
than in breadth ; the smnllnoss of the waist
amplifies by contrast the forms of tno bust
and hips ; und in her whole person nnd dross
there is an Intensity of drawing which , so to
speak , accentuates and even exaggerates nil
that is slgulticant of femininity.
"Mllo. Yvotto Is young , nmbltious and full
of talent. Wo may expect soon to see her on
the stage In the modern equivalent of the
lyric-dramatic spectacles In which women
llko Thee , Chaumont and Judlo became
famous in the now remote past. "
Have you over thought how differently
love scenes are portrayed by different play
wrights ? With some writers for ttiostago
the scones in which the lovers figure nro
elaborated to an extent almost beyond en
durance , while other dramatists , Just as ca
pable , give their lovers words which children
of a tender ago would hardly bo caught re
peating.
The comic lovers are often very young and
when peoulo on the stage nro young they are
young. Ho is supposed to bo about sixteen
and she fifteen. But they both talk as if
they were not moro than seven.
Holjcrtson in "Homo" flrst Introduced this
tvpo successfully to the stage. Lucy is look
ing out of the window.
There is my Bertie. Oh ! ho sees mo !

( Bertie enters limping. )
"Lucj- . "
"All Is over. Your father has forbidden mo
to see you , Lucy. "
"OBortlo ! "
"Lucy , do you love mo ! "
"O Bertie ! "
"Wo can never bo united. "
"O , no 1 Wo can run away. "
"But wo have no money , "
"Pooh I It comes of itself. It always does

"And you love mol"
"My darhup love I"
, 'Aud I shall see you sometimes I"
"Always. "
"Foryou love mo dearly. "
"Ddvotedlyl"

In the "Charity Ball" there Is n character
istic Do Mlllo sconce which you will recall.
The lovers have quarreled In the last act.
"Hero nro your letters , " she says in broken
tones.
"Thank you. "
"And hero are the bracelets and lockets you
gave mo. "
"Won't you keep one of them } "
"No , thank you ; and hero and hero is the
ring ! "
"My darling1 !
"And I am sorroy so sorry I cannot give
ou bacK the ice cream and candy you have
given mo ! "
In the "Idler , " which had qinto a run in
Now York this season , the situation Is decid
edly different.
She Is a young nnd demure thing who Is
always asking unexpected questions , and ttio
father Is qulto anxious to marry her off. She
has a lover.
"May I may I kiss youl" ho asks in fnltor-
Ing tones.
[ Just at this point dramatists proceed dif
ferently. In "Tho Henrietta" Agnes save
"Yes , " and Bortlo , who wUhos to kiss hur
lips , has only tlio courngo to impress a ro-
bpcctful snlutj on the baud to her manifest
disappointment. !
"May i may I kiss youl" asks the comedy
young man in "Tno Idler. "
"Yes , " she sighs , removing a very largo
hat adorned with immense ( lowers , inclining
her head toward him.
In the midst of their rhapsody a footstep is
heard.
"Hero romos your father ! " ho exclaims.
"Don't move , please , I want him to see us
llko this. Ho told mo no ono would have the
courage to propose to mo. "
Tbo old gentleman enter : , and starts back
in amazement.
"What does this moan I"
"It means I love your daughter , Hir. "
Tbo old gentleman gazes at him with
doubt and wonder.
"You love my daughter ! "
"Yes , sir. Have I your consent 1
"Certainly , cortalnlyl"
"You see , papa , you have never really np
predated mo ; but Harry docs ! "
"Of course , of course ! By the way , I have
proposed for the widow's hand and she has
accepted mol"
"O , papa , Iho third ! "
" \Vti3" not ? But como , dear , " with moro
affection than bo has shown for soma timo.
She crosses to him. To her lover : "Good
bye. Harry. "
"Good-bye , darling. "
At the door she turns. "Wo have both
had n very busy morning , haven't ' wo , papa. "
In "Alabama , " Gus Thomas' latest play
and tlio success of tbo Now York season now
on at the Madison Square , the courting Is
tender and direct. Armstrong Is a manly
lover nnd Carey Preston does not say him
liny for long. Their courting runs in this

Now York. " Mls.s Emmett comes to Omaha
well recotnmonJod by the press of eastern

common versatility. "The Wnlfs ot Now
York" is n melodrama of the very Dost

about It. The complicated tula of the waifs

being- carried by the company. Promi
nent among the scenes Is the ( irent Harlem
river railroad bridge showing two trains
crossing Hnrlom bridge In opposite direc
tions ; while Wllllo and ( Jertio , the two waifs ,
escape death by hanging underneath the
bridgo. Castle uanlon , old Trinity church ,

realistic. Miss Emmett has n strong sup
