WHERE THE STARS WILL SUMMER ,

( lore Tliomim Coming to

There will be four performances , nt each

ing Gorman comedy of melodrama.
The loading characters in thcio plays will

Mr. Jean Baurcls , Hlslo Uiuruls , Mr. Otto
1'uls nnd Mrs , Kmlllo Puls-Ahl , who , several

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

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.

a frequent visitor to the theaters.
Frederick Pmililing will bo tno youngest

eral well known actors nnd actresses.

Is to bo followed by a now opera not yet

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

Ilorr O. von Miller , director of the in
ternational oloetro-tcchnieal exhibition

tho-Main on May 1G , has made public

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

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. Kvory kind of an electric
street railway will bo in operation to
convoy visitors from the main exhibition
to the river , Opera place and Schiller's
pquaro.

"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. "

HOW TO TtJIjIi KOIITUNKS.
Von Cnn Do It Yourself hut Don't
Take Too Miieh Stock In It.
Did you ever rouil droain book ? 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
