WHERE THE STARS WILL SUMMER , John Drew of * Iho Daly Company to Star Season After Next 'I lico- ( lore Tliomim Coming to the Tnli evening Gcrmanla hall will bo opened for a short season of Gorman drama muter the auspices of the Dotltscho Gcsellschaft , There will be four performances , nt each of which will bo provided a moil entertain ing Gorman comedy of melodrama. The loading characters in thcio plays will bo sustained by those old Omaha favorites , Mr. Jean Baurcls , Hlslo Uiuruls , Mr. Otto 1'uls nnd Mrs , Kmlllo Puls-Ahl , who , several seasons ago , delighted the German audiences every Sunday nl ht nt Boyd's theater. Theio well known artists will be accorded a warm reception. Ono of the greatest mysteries ever known in the history of medicine or In the history of the nation will ho put on exhibition nt the Kdon Museo this week. Manager I.nwlcr Is always looking about for now freaks , nnd while on a trip to Salt Luke recently ho dis covered Clarence Dale , whoso heaa measures forty-eight inches in circumference. This In itself is n wonder , but when Mr. Lawlor discovered that the boy was but six years old yet , had brains cnual to n man's and could ' talk intelligently on illfrorent subjects 10 at once secured the boy to exhibit in his nusoum , nnd will present him to the public Monday. " The boy is n perfect marvel. Ho "is bright , witty , ontertaldlng nnd n clover ; nuslclnn. Ho delights to converse with the [ ario audlonros who como to see him. Hu will bo hero but ono week. In the theatre the Fitzgerald and Lewis Comedy company will prosunt the three net comedy-drama ' Desperate Chances , " which Is n cleverly written work. It is full of startling cli maxes , tableaux nnd romantic situations. Prof. K. Abt will exhibit a line collection of pictures from thu old nnd now world with Ids dissolving views which nro very clever. A llnu wnx figure of president Harrison risen has been placed In curio hall as a reminder - minder of the president's ' vhlt. Marie \Vnlnwright Is In Now Vork. She is a frequent visitor to the theaters. Frederick Pmililing will bo tno youngest mulu star on the road next season. Agnes Booth will not bo n member of the Madison Square company next year. Henry K. Dixoy has closed the season which extended ever a porloifof glghtcen months. Minnie Maddorn has written n one-act play called "Not Guilty , " which has been accepted by Mrs , Kendall. Marie Wnlnrlgbt has engaged Henry Miller to play Leicester , the principal innlo part , in "Amy Hobsart. " Robert Mantell has closed his season in Philadelphia and also his live years' contract with Manager Augustus Pitou. " \Vang , " Do Wolf Hopper's now onora , has caught the fancy of the crowd nnd the Broad way , Now Yorlc Is doing au excellent busi ness. Manager Theodore Bromley is engaging a strong company to supyort Minnie Gale next season. The list Incluilos the names of sev eral well known actors nnd actresses. Francis Wilson will play in Now Vork at the Broadway theatre all of next season opening in "Tho Merry Monarch , " which Is to bo followed by a now opera not yet named. "The Merchant , " the Now Vork World's prize drnnm , is lllllns the Madison Square every ouenlng , nnd Miss Martha Morton's work Is highly snokon of by those who have seen the drama. Miss COM Tanner has accepted a play bv Mr. Clinton Stuart entitled "Will She Dl- vorco Him ! " and will produce It on Juno 3 ut the Park theatre , Brooklyn. . The play deals with American life nnd Is in four nets. Miss Grr.co Henderson , the wife of the Chicago manager , Mr. David Henderson , has repented of her decision to retire from the stage for good and has signed to appear with Mr. Augusus Pltou's stock company in the i fall. Frazler Coulter , Frank Burbock , Grace Thqriio and Nauctto Comstock have boon en > gaged to support. W. J. Scanlan in "Mavour neon" next season. Thu play will have nn unlimited run at tlio Fourteenth street Thea tre. tre.Mr. Mr. Louis James will bo a member of Mr. Jacob Lttt's stock company , which will play in St. Paul nnd Minneapolis this summer. The company will number twenty people and will product ) nil now nlnys. Miss Victory Batoman will bo thu leading lady. The Kmma Juch opera company collapsed last Saturday night In the City of Mexico. Manager Locke is said to DO $8,000 behind in salaries iiml transportation , fees. The com pany was to have opened at St. Louis Mon day nlcht. . Isabella Coo has added to her already well- established reputation as mi nrtlst this season bv her udmlniblo performances of Mrs. Brown in "Dr. Bill" and "Barbara. " Miss Coo re placed Miss Evossou In the parts mentioned , and for WCOKS past the company of the Gar den theater has been iilnvhitr to lariro mull. cncos. Mrs. Langtry has decided to postpone her professional visit to this country for at least nuother season. She wished to open her tour in Now Vork and wanted to appear only ut the Broadway , Palmer's or Fifth avenue theatres. At those houses , however , ull the full and winter had been taken. It Is thought that this fact Induced Mrs. Langtry to defer hrr visit. Thu gratuitous supposition that Mr. Daly uotildplck n quarrel with Mr. John Drew Immediately , because the latter had dared to sign for the season utter next with Mr. Charles Frohman , will hardly bo gratified. Mr. Drew's vuluo to Mr. Daly In London Is oven greater than his value In Now Yorlc. They nro fond of his quiet style of acting ovur there , nnd Mr Daly is just n'triflu too careful of Ills own interests to let that value bo sacrificed by obeying any Immediate fool- ins of pique. Besides , Air. Daly has not given any expression of opinion whatever about the action of his leading man. So far as Mr. Drew U concerned , ha thinks ho has reached his utmost limit of fame and mouoy- maklng In the Daly company nnd that there Is no reason why ho should not bo nbio to equal the success of young Mr. Sothern us a star , and Mr. Sothorn has actually became rich out of It lu a few years , The negotiations winch have been pending for the npponrnnco of the celebrated Thomas orchestra nunln In our city , have llually been kiiccossfuliy arranged. The famous leader who Is so soon to become a citizen of the west , will bring his Now Vork orchestra of llfty musicians , assisted by JosolTy , ono of the greatest living pianists , and n popular lady vocalist , to Omaha on the evenings of Tuesday and Wnduesday , Juno 'J and il. The 'club U to bo Apollo congratulated on socur- itmsuch a grand combination for our citizens , nnil their enterprise should bo surely re warded try magnificent audiences , The pro Krumma will bo of n mixed nature , sultnbio to the Collxoum and seasonami acceptable to all classes of imislo lovers , while tbo prices will bo of a decidedly popular nature , enabling ovnryono to attend both concerts without de pleting their pockctbooks to any considerable extent. America's leading musical attraction Hlioulu corUluly receive u royal welcome , such ns our city can give for all great events. New York Herald : "Solo" Is a llttlo nniva- boy who wool's ragged raiment and old shoes. Ills hat Is luttored and his face unwashed , but ho has u voice of wonderful sweetness nnd IKJWW. "Solo" does not sell very many impcr * , but ho makes enough money to keep himself allvo by singing songs to his com rades on the street , and they rowurd him with an occasional com. Just bofnro raid- night ha may often ho beard singing near the I'.ostonlce in front of a group of boys almost ns ragged and dirty as himself. In loud , cliv.r , uuro tones ho will sing that touching old Dong , "Annlo Lauria , " with n power nnd pathos that bring pedestrian * to n halt. And they wait and listen , too , until thnv have hoard the very last note , in responding to the Invariable encore bo gratifies his auditors with "Tho Last Hose of Summer,11 "In the Sweet By nnd By , " nnd. perhaps , ' The Old Oaken Bucket , " The boys nro respectful aim nttoutlvu and unsparing In thelropplausc. "Solo" can wnrblo nnd trill llko a bird and filvo excellent Imitations of the a on nils made on various musical instrument * . "Solo" Is certainly a very entertaining llttlo prodigy , nnd ho Is well treated and respected by nil with whom ho comes in contact , even the or dinary Park row tramp , who Is often no hot ter than a bandit. London's drnmatlo critics have been in spired nnd cheered by the good fortune that has suddenly attended upon Clement Scott , wbo Is n poet , n playwright nnd n zealous nnd tcmpcruto student of tbo stago. A pretty , fair-haired young lady , n Miss Drew , who resided nt Clematis cottage , Alpha road , St. John's Wood , was n constant attendant on first ilk-hts at the London theaters. Miss Drew , It scorns , had conceived n deep admira tion for Clement Scott's wrlUnus , nnd at her death recently she loft n will proved lu Scotland by which she made Mr. Scott the sole executor nnd residuary ictratco of nearly ? 10.'i,000. The legacies to bo paid out of this sum were not very large. To her sister Miss Drew left ! . > , OJO , an annuity of fJ.'iO to an other lady , and n valuabla piano to Wllllo Wild , another drnmatlo critic , and to whom , It is said , Miss Drew was engaged before she became acquainted with Scott. "What with his half pay pension from the war ofllco , " says a friendly nowspapur , "and his line In- heritnnco , nfter duties and expenses , of clear $ iX.000 , Clement Scott has no necessity to write another line. " But the co-adapter of "Diplomacy , " the enthusiastic editor of the Theater , ami the critic of the London Tele graph will , wo dare add , pen many another graceful review for his thousands of readers. Comcdlen Frauds Wilson U building a beautiful homo at Now Kochella , which will contain a perfect theater in addition to all other conveniences , "liverythlnc mint bo odd from the garret , " said the "Merry Monarch , " and the architect proceeded to make everything us odd as n cat with two talld or n play with n succession of paying engagements , Hooms , halls and stairways were arranged for in several plans though not on any Installment plan , Mr. Wallace says until the third Mtnrt * tvn < t I'niinhnil ' ( Mm I'mnpillnn mul the architect , were in n quandary as to what to do with this story , "Why not tit It up us a theater I'1 asked Mr. Thompson , the archi tect. "What ! " shouted the comedian , and ho gave a jump such ns ho used to do In his Gaiety skirt dnncn In "Tho Oolah. " The idea struck the right spot and It grew every minute. "You go right on and do It , " said Mr. Wilson , and ho smiled all ovor. "Now It's a case of every man owning his own theater , " continued the comedian , Jovfully ; "nnd hereafter that's what I will advocate and say nothing about every man being his own liver pad or court plaster. " Ground was broken last Autrust , and ever since the workmen have been busy on the house. In about two weeks the scaffolding in that third story will bo taken down , the decorations of the miniature theatre will shine out resplendent In their newness and the entire house will have been completed. The stage of the theatre Is 25 by 13 foot , and It is as perfect as possible. There is nothing that It doon not boast of. It has Its row of footlights , Us ido lights , and two rows of border lights to Hood it with brlgntnc.ss. Electricity will bo used entirely. The scenery is now being prepared and will bo expensive. It will all be thoroughly llro- proof. The curtain will be a drop ono , with balance weights , nnd will bo of n color to match tbo decorations. Hlght , over the staeo is a rigging loft , The lights hi the theatre will bo worked from the staio. All the doo- oratlpns are In white and gold and will make the theatre look very pretty when flooded with light. The house itself Is of the severe colonial style , The first story Is built of rough stone , while the superstructure Is of shingles. Adjoining it is the stable. The property extends from avenue to nvenuo and is surrounded with apple trees. Mr. Wilson Intends railing the place "Tho Orchard. " Ills friends , however , arc sure to tell him tnat this name , though pretty , is Inappropri ate , as chestnuts are plentiful in nn orchard. The main hall and staircase * are In oal : , while the parlors nnd reception room are fin ished In natural cherry. Natural wood col umns separate the parlors. Thu library Is on tbo second story , and is isolated from the rest of thu building. It also is finished in A GIJKA.T KljKCTItlCAfj SHOW. The Coming International Teclinleal K.vliitiltion at. Frankfort. Ilorr O. von Miller , director of the in ternational oloetro-tcchnieal exhibition which will bo opened in Frnnkforl-oh- tho-Main on May 1G , has made public the details of its arrangements .and prominent features. The main exhibi tion will bo innilo near the Central railway station and a marine exhibition will bo given on the banks of the Main. The exhibits will bo in twelve classes. At tlio principal entrance of the main exhibition the historical division will illustrate the development of the tola- graph nnd telephone from the beginning. As the imperial government han placed its present apparatus , us well as its museums , at the disposal of the direct ors , this division is expoetc ; ! to bo com plete beyond anything of the kind before attempted. The telephones will bo connected with the grand opera house in Frankfort. Munich and Wiesbaden , ns well us with concert halls in distant Gorman cities , so that every evening visitors may hoar the best music of the artists of western Germany. Tlio second division will contain ex amples of all such olontrie signals us aroused used on railways , on ships , in mines and in the army. The exclusively marine features of this department will bo the miirlrm ovliiliitinn on tlm 'Mm'n. Tivn electric boats , ono of which carries -00 persons , will ply on the river , which will bo illuminated with an enormous electric light tower. A picturesque and popiilar part of the iniirino exhibition will bo a waterfall , forty foot high , In a grotto lighted with electricity. Beyond the departments of electro-metallurgy and kindred indus tries the electro-medical and scientific apparatus will bo grouped. All the ro- Hiilts and moans of Prof. Hertz's cele brated experiments in the tmturo and essence of electricity will bo shown there. The space around the center of the main exhibition will bo occupied by the machinery hall , with its sixty motors of1.000 horse power. Two or throe motors of r > 00,000 horse power each will be operated in the hall. An experiment in the transportation and distribution of electric power is awaited with Uconest interest. A fac tory in Laull'en , 105 miles distant , has undortr.kon to furnish from that place ! 500 horse power with which to operate lights and machinery. All sorts of In dustries , such as shoe making , joinery nnd dairying will bo prosecuted on the grounds.

"Tho business of a professional joker is largely mechanical. My o.irs are habitually alert to points in conversation that goes on around mo which may afford suggestions"says Hill Nyo. "Then I read the nuwspapors and keep a sharp look out for anything that may bo given a queer verbal turn to. As an example , take a remark I hoard this evening to the olTect that 'So-and-so wasn't uroud' ho went round with his most shabby acquaintances without exhibiting ana airs of superiority.1 There is an idoyj It lay in the words 'going round. ' Alii yes , of course 'The world is very demo cratic ; it goes round with everyone.1 In any phrase there lies a jest , if you can twist it properly. 1 keep a note booK in which I down all jot such suggestions as occur to me , in the crude. Subsequently 1 work them out. Note making isehiolly n matter of habit. The newspaper ioster turns everything upside down , and thus creates the unexpected , which is humor. That la the way the funny dialogues are written. Philip Welch could write them when ho was dying not because ho was in a humorous mood , but because his mind was in unsurpassed mechanical order for such colloquial construction. Turn an idea wrong side up and it is a joke , salable at from CO cents to $1 to the newspapers and coualo periodicals. " Dr. Birney euros catarrn. Boo bldg.

If you uorcr hnvo don't do It. It Is ruin ous to iv nervous person anil it broods distrust , la the peed nilvleo of n writer in the Now York llorukl. In tills world of shams nnd frauds trustfulness Is not n virtue that receives utiduo oncouriigo- incut even under the most fuvoriiblo oir- cumslnncos. There Is another thlnp that you should avoid If you lese your uoaco of mind. I refer to the "tnolo" book. Tills outer- talning volume tolls what those llttlo disfiguring brown blotches mean. A superstitious man can make hlmsolf cra/y In an hour's study ot the ancient works on fortune - tune tolling. I recently consiiltod ono or two bull colored volumes doallnjr with dreams and moles. Then I wont homo and droamod. The next day I found upon consultation of the authori ties that I would bo rich nnd die In a dobtor'rt prison ; mi ht oxpuot to bo de livered of twins next mnnth and would marry a larfjo , red faced man standing hltfh in the favor of his kinj ; . Still , in spite of this oxporloni'o , a very ontortiiinin ? ovoninjj can bo spent in forutolliti'r fortunes by dloo and doinlnos. I yivo sonio simple rules below - low , but before you boyin to study ihom lot mo advino you not to bolluvo too lirmly in what is foretold to you. Iloro { toes It is rather a pretty imslimo to toll fortunes by domlnos or diio ; and ono about which most people know nothing. Iho ruloH are very plain anil easy enough to bo understood by children , but it must bo borne in mind Mint it is useless to draw more than three do.n- inos at a time or to try the expcrimont moro thiin once duriiit } the sumo week , as the answers would most likely bo con- llictintt and apt to punulo tho" fortune sookers. Iloro are the domino rules : Lay the ilotninos on the table face downward , shulllo them without seointr the faces and draw one- . After each drawing they have to bo shulllud afresh. Every o'no has a inuiinliitr. The utiluekiost of the whole is the double blank. It moans { treat trouble trouble which cannot bo cautioned against , as it comes from unexpected quarters. One-blank tollb that the per son Is closely watched by somebody whom ho little mispocttt , and two-blank predicts the loss of money or of some other valuable object. The moiininit of a three-blank is an illegitimate child. Four-blank announces a disiiftroablo letter - tor from an angry friend , and live-blank the funeral of a portion to whom the natter is not related. Six-blank menus ono to bo very careful or a scandal wil como to destroy his reputation. You will loose n dear friend if vou draw doublo-ono , but in drawing two-one you will lind something in the street that may bo to your advantage. "Who ever takes up throo-ono is on the verge of n great discovery. Four-one predicts trouble from creditors Five-one means U love intrigue nnd six-one tolls that the person will soon perform a friendly or charitable deed. Double-two is a sign of a jealous part ner. Throe-two means a. warning against putting money into lotteries or any other game of chance , for the asker is sure to loso. Four-two is bad for women ; it warns of thieves and swindlers , particu larly of thot-o who try to steal tlio tender - dor feminine heart. A pleasant excur sion on the water is promised by live- two , and n present of some article of olothingb.v six-two. A double-throe sudden means a wed ding that is not agreeable to the person who asks , as it makes him or her lose a friend , Four-throe is a false alarm ; flvo-throo , a visit from a uerson superior in rank , and six-three , a carriage drive. Double-four predicts that she person will drink some kind of liquor away from homo. A fortunate business spec ulation is predicted by five-four , and lawsuits and troubles that can only bo avoided by great cnro , by six-four. If you lake up double-live you will move from your present place of , resi dence and the cliango will bo to your advantage. Six-live means that the person will go to a place of amusement , nnd double-six that ho or she will re ceive a largo sum of money. If the fortune DO told by dice , u circle of chalk must bo previously drawn upon the table. The dlc'o that rolls beyond this circle means nothing , except that the person will soon have sharp words with somebody. Should the dice fall on the lloor thcso sharp words will lead to blows. If in throwing the dice ono hap pens to fall on the top of the other it is n very bad omen and the person had better - tor bo careful for some tune. Three dice are necessary. They must bo well shaken in a wooden box. but with the left hand , and then cast on the table within the chalked circlo. I'jI ' ho porsoi ; throws three sixes or eighteen points it is a very good sign. It means a spriedy rise in life , great profit in business or something else that the person has ardently wished for. Seventeen points mean water. Tlio per , son will either go himself on the water or ho will have important and profitable dealings with others by the way of water. A plensnnt journey is prom ised by sixteen points , nnd im mediate good luck and happiness by fifteen. Fourteen points warn you to beware of a secret enemy who Is ready to bring some trouble upon you or to draw you into a plot. Thirteen is always a bad number. It means hero tears and sobs. Twelve tolls of the Immediate nr- rival of an important letter and eleven of the death of a person who is not In different to you. Ton is a christening , nine a wedding , eight a reproach that lias boon well de served ana seven a scandal that comes upon the person without his or her fault. Six predicts tlio loss of some kind of property. Five tolls you that you will make the acquaintance of n stranger who will turn out to become a friend of yours. A disagreeable surprise is the moaning of four nnd n pleasant ono that of three. California nig Trees. Many Cnliforninns regard their tall trees as the chief glory of tno state , says Goldthwaito's Geographical Magazine. The most celebrated of the big tree groves , or forests , is In Mariposa county , about twenty miles from the Yosemite Valley , thirty miles southeast of the town of Mariposa , nnd MO miles almost duo east of San Francisco. This grove is composed of ever four hundred giant trees , the largest of which are 30 fool In diameter and 00 foot high. The grove covers a space of a half- mile wide by three-quarters of n mile long , notiinlsts call the mammoth tree the sequoia glgantoa. It is found only in California , on the western slope of the Sierra Novadas , between latitudes 31 ° and 41 ° . It is a cone bearing evergreen and received its botanical title fron Kndllohor , the Gorman botanist.
