A rattier strnpgllnp delegation of some six
teen souls strolled slowly along tlio upper
corridor of the court liouso about I o'clock
yesterday afternoon , nnd llnally snuntorcil
regretfully Into court room No. 1 and tool :
soata In uiul about the Jury box.
It was the grand Jury , and notwithstand
ing the fact that It had been nt work Investi
gating deeds of crime and cusscdnos * for
twenty-four days tbo members seemed to
feel sorry that their labors wcro oiidod , for
ttioy wcro about to submit their final report.
It didn't ' take very long , for when Judge
Davis looked over his glasses anil Inquired :
"Mr. Porcman , have you any report to
tnnkc to the court ? " .ludgo Uustavo Ander
son cllmcd briskly to his fcot and said !
' Your honor , wo arc glad to say that our
labors have como to an end.Vo have sev
eral presentments to make , " and ho handed
up a llttlo bunch of neatly folded documents ,
around which was a calmly quiescent rubber
Dana. The judge shut ono eye and peered
down between the papers to see the names of
the unfortunates with as much curiosity as
was consistent with judicial dignity.
"Wo also have a wrliton report , your
honor , " continued the foreman , nnd ho
passed up n rather bulky package of type
written manuscript.
The Jiidgo loaned onck In his chair , and for
several minutes forgot the existence of the
grand jury , wtillo ho perused the lengthy
document.
After slowly folding It , ho said :
"Qontlomen of the grand jury , while I am
pleased to bo informed that your labors have
como to nn end , I cannot help but fool that
you have rendered useful assistance to the
court nnd to the public. I hope that your
| i ! work will have an influence for good in all
public departments. AH i know of nothing
moro demanding your attention at present , 1
will discharge you from further service. "
That was all and the sixteen Jurors
stretched themselves and loft the room.
They vpra out of a job. The Inquisitorial
body that begun its investigations over a
month ago bad examined a small army of
\vltnos309 , returned ilfty-tbrco indictments ,
expressed themselves in a sizzling roast of
Bovonil people whom they wanted to indict
but couldn't , and quit.
* . - Wiirkml LOIIK anil Kiirnostly.
The written report covered the work of
the grand jury and such recommendations as
Unit august body had found it advisable to
make. It stated that the Jurors had tried to
bii diligent , but that the session bad been
dqiayod by an unexpected pressure of
matters that had como to their attention. A
number of anonymous communications wore
received , but the grand jury did not feel
Justified in expending money to Investigate
that class of charges. Thu report road :
Persons who lack tbo courage to sub
stantiate their charges should not be found
complaining if this results of our work are
different from what may have been wishod.
Wo have so conducted our business as to
prevent the grand jury from being used
as an Instrument to gratify private or potty
revenge , but have inquired into all matters
that have como to our attention In n shape
would warrant us in proceeding. Our work
bai boon greatly hampered bv the evasive
ness and rotlccnco of tno witnesses who have
boon before ns. A variety of rumors ox-
tcudlng back to the time when the statute of
limitations would begin to run have had our
intention , but when traced down they were
found to rest On hearsay testimony. Doubt
less many of these rumors nro founded upon
moro or loss truth , but the manner In which
tbo witnesses have testified prevents us from
concluding that offenses have boon com
mitted which should bo punished by indict
ment. The practice has been ( especially in
cases affectlne citizens who have held posi
tions ot political prominence ) to toll the jury
ns llttlo as possible , although wo have now
nnd then bad witnesses who wore straightforward -
forward and communicative "
Chnptrr on OMlclal Corruption.
Under the heading "Municipal Affairs In
General , " the report says :
"During our investigation wo have uncov
ered many abuses in city affairs winch can
not bo corrected by bills of Indictment forwent
wont of sufllclcnt testimony. The municipal
affairs of Omaha durintr the pust few years
nro honeycombed with irregularities that
havo" boon costly to the people. It Is no se-
crat.thut the factions in tbo city council have
been created largely by the contractors and
corporations. Instances uro not rarC wbcro
councilman and other public ofllclals have
yielded tbo power entrusted to them with
unblushing sorvillty. Voracity and upright
ness have been at a discount. Courage and
manhood have too often boon sacrificed to
venality. So many Jobs Imvo pone through
the city council that it has become an ac
cepted Idea throughout the country that ma-
torlal men end agents having business with
the city must resort to corrupt methods If
they would bo successful.
"A grand Jury which has listened to the
sworn testimony of witnesses whoso Inclina
tion or whose business has led them to Inves
tigate the tnotnoda prevailing in the conduct
of pubhu affairs , becomes forcibly aware , of
the reason why the contractors and corpora
tions are so potential in the municipal gov
ernment. Yet wo are convinced that wo
have been nblo to uncover only a few of the
crimes committed against the statutes tnat
are designed to protect the public from loss
at the hands of officials who uro dishonest , by
nature and whoso preod impels them , by
BOllo.tatlon or menace , to broalc all the 10-
stralnts of propriety and deconoy. The ways
of the corruptlonist are devious and hard to
trace. Bribes are given and accepted in all
torts of forms and under n variety of
names. It may bo u contract -.vltb the
city or school board , or with some corpo
ration having business with thcso bodies ;
it may bo a suit of clothes , a silk hat , u
Junketing trip at the expense of the rail
roads or contractors , or a jumboroo In the
Immoral district ; it may bo an unusual dis
count or. u gas bill ; a strcot car pans ; the
payment or the election cxpo.sos of candi
dates , or other consideration more or loss
valuable , given perhaps with a display of
friendship and sometimes accepted with
pardonable motives , but It Is too often do-
Htgnod to woo the representatives of the
Pfoplonway Irom their dutv , thus removing
tbo obstructions In the way to tbo publio
treasury.
Mi'M T Moral * Dmiiumlnl.
"Although embarrassed by reticent wlt-
ncsies , this jury has pursued the rumors
which Justlly the foregoing statements with
unremitting care , only to find that tbo stat
utes have been evaded by some trlok or de-
VK-O known to the trained boodlor. There
tqom * to bo no adequate remedy exoapt bv
requiring a higher fttandurd of honesty anil
cmclcncy In'thoso who art ) selected " for ofll-
tlnl places. To this end wo" believe tbo pri
mary election law should bo amended to con
form us far us practicable to the Australian
ballot system , so that contractors and others
cannot manipulate the primaries In the In.
torestof boodlors and Incompetent * who seek
positions of trust only to betray the interest
of the taxpayer.
/'Wo recommend that the law"of bribery bo
10 amended as to make the the bribe-inker
plouo responsible. Ilribo-uivors , who are
now equally criminal with the bribed , refuse
to.rrlmlnato themselves , aim It la extremely
Ulftlcult to cot competent testimony on which
to found indictments for this Jlugrant species
of publio wrong.o recoimupnd that a gen
eral law bo enacted preventing any ofllclal
from drawing moro than one salary at a lima
tor his services to the public. There is u
trying demand for moro. honor ana honesty
of purpose on the part of these who anumo
to admlnlitor the public business , Examples
of Integrity and publio spirit are hero and
( hare uiot with , but tbo tendency has been to
tr n aot business with a looseness and ex >
travajjanoo that would bankrupt any private
Institution. "
The report then touched on "Inspector * " of
Public works , " And said that great loss bad
resulted to the publio because of Incompu-
toot moo In such positions. They wont too
* . * A a.L +
often appointed borausoot their capacity to
do political service , jtnd honest , courageous
ana compatenl men have bean defeated at
the behest of contractors , and the public will
never know the frauds that have boon
winked ntor participated in by these who ns
Inspectors should have Insisted on a compli
ance with contract specifications.
I > l Rrnro If Not u t'rlnic.
The report then dipped Into "Tho ICotchum
Furniture Contract'1 01 follows. "Wo have
devoted a gioat deal of time to the
rumors of bribery nnd corruption con
nected with the letting of the contract
for furnishing the city hall. Oravo chorees
have been In circulation from thu beginning
of this matter , affecting both the moral conduct -
duct and the honesty of various publio ofll.
clals. Uut , however suspicious many of the
circumstances maynppoar , this Jury has ooon
unublto llnd testimony that would warrant
us In Indicting any city oftlolat for bribery.
Wo cannot refrain , however , from placing
the stamp of disapproval upon the conduct of
the city councilman who , under thn pilotage
of the agents of the furniture uuiup-uiTTs , engaged -
gaged In n nocturnal curousal. Such conduct
ill becomes any citizen and it Is doubly repre
hensible In publio ofllclali , because It brines
reproach and disgrace allko upon the Individ
ual and the city. "
Ailvlco for tliK School Itonrd.
The school board then came in for a little
attention. "Among a variety of serious
rumors affecting this body , " said the report ,
"several cases have como to our knowledge )
where members of the board have boon , or
still nro engaged , either directly or In
directly , In famishing supplies or being In
terested In contracts with the board. We
are advised that this Is Illegal , though not
Indictable , as the law provides no penalty In
such cases. Uut wo would remark that it
should not , require n penal clnuso
to prevent members from violating
the law. The position of momoers
of that body Is purely honorable , without the
slightest emolument , livery member , by
reason of his olllco , In n prominent character
In the minds of the children and their parents
throughout the city. It is a folly to Incul-
calo the precept of obedience to law while
the ohlld does not have to look outsldo tbo
body which controls his dally training to find
examples of violation of law. Members of
the board who wish to contract with the
body should resign their positions and wo
commend the subject of a revision of the law
to the next legislature. "
Whi'ii thu Council Wi s Wonk.
The city hall came in for the following
deal : "Tho Jury llnds : First , that poor
judgment was exercised in tbo selection of
the plan for the building , in support of which
claim wo call attention to tbo basement ,
where the usefulness of a large space that
would have furnished good oftlca rooms and
rooms easily accessible , has been destroyed
by tbc manner of construction.
"Second That tbo plans and specifications
wore incomplete and Impractical at the limo
ot their acceptance , and when payment
therefor was allowed by the city council , as
evidenced by no acam to basement having
been arranged for , and by the number of
changes made in construction of thereof , the
first working plans for that part of the build
ing having proved excessively faulty.
"Third That the prlcopatd forplans.specl-
flcatlons and superintendence was excessive ,
said work being contracted for at 5 per cent
of the total cost , of building , which cost will
appoximnto fcWO.OOO , making the cost of
Davis' specifications nnd superintendence
$ 25.000 , when SIO.OOO would have been a lurgo
price for said work.
"Fourth Tnat the council by authorizing
tbo changes made In plans and .specifications
from time to time invalidated the bond of
toU.OOO given by the architect as a guarantee
that the building could bo completed for
150.000.
"Fifth That compotitlon was not permitted
in letting con tract 8 for the several pieces of
work rendered necessary by the changes
made in the construction of tno building ,
when money could have boon saved to tbo
city by admitting competition. " .
County Hospital nnd Jail.
Regarding the county poor farm the report
said : "Wo have confined our attention re
specting the county poor farm to an Inspec
tion of the building nnd lind that it is in a
clean and bealthful condition. The Inmates
appeared to bo clad in clean clothing nnd to
bo surrounded by comforts that rolled credit
upon the county in making provision for the
unfortunate poor.
"In our examination1 of the county poor
house affairs and method of conducting the
same , our observation-led us to recommend to
our county commissioners that they provide
a separata apartment for the keeping of the
insane entirely apart from the hospital de
partment. "
As to the county Jail , the following was
offered : "Pursuing the special instructions
of tbo council , the grand jury made a visit to
the county jail. Wo 11 n a that the rules of
the court governing this institution nro com
plied with so far as possible in Its present
over-crowded condition. The apartment
occupied by the city prisonera was , at thn
timoof our visit , Infested with vermin , but
this was owing to the fact that there was no
clothing to furnish the prisoners after taking
baths. Steps have slnco boon taken to supply
thn necessary clothing , nnd wo nro promised
an improvement in this part of the jail.
"Somo steps should be taken to relieve the
overcrowded condition of the jail. We find
that the United States government occupies
a portion of the room with its prisoners ;
also Sarpy county generally has moro or loss
prisoners there ; and also that tbo city of
Omaha occupies a good deal ot room for its
prisoners. If the citv would build a work
house and jail , that would rolluvo the county
Jail so that It would bo adequate under ordi
nary circumstances. Wo commend this matter -
tor to the proper authorities , "
County CoiiiiiilHilonrrs Censured.
Then came the Thlrtconth street grade ,
and it was hauled over the coals as follows :
"The grand jury oocs leave to report to the
court that it has Investigated the matter of
the grading of South Thirteenth street ,
but that in the opinion of the mom-
Dors it was not a matter in which
an indictable offense had been committed ,
it is the fooling of the grand jury , however ,
that the grading of sum Htroet was a meas
ure not a necessity to tbo general public ,
but ono dictated solely In the interest of the
property owners In that vicinity , and that It
was an Injustice to the taxpayers of Douglas
county to compel them to pay the cost of said
grading. It is therefore the sentiment ot
this body thai tbo action of tbo members of
the Board of County Commissioners who
voted ( or the awarding of the contract for
said grading bo censured. "
UonuhtilliiK Iteiiinrks ,
As to future grand Juries , the report said :
"Wo find that many crimes have been com
mitted that are barred by the statute cf
limitations , nnd wo recommend thai a grand
Jury bo Impaneled hereafter at least once a
year , "
And then gamblers nnd gambling received a
brief notlco as follows : "Wo recommend
( hat the law bo no amended as to confer ex
clusive jurisdiction on the police court to im
pose lines and penalties for gambling , Unou-
Ing gambling devices , gaming rooms , otu. "
The report concluded with the following
about claims against the county : '
"Tho grand jury would further recommend
that thp county commissioners bo requested
to tollow the statute strictly governing the
allowance of claims and salaries , as thn pros-
out system of allowing the same is liable to
error and contrary to Jaw , "
To this Interesting document wore ap
pended the signatures of Foreman Anderson
and Secretary Itued.

After two yoara' hnnl and persistent
labor In committee and on the lloor , Senator
Paddock this afternoon had the satisfaction
of seeing his pure food bill pass the senate
nnd receiving the congrotulatloas of friends
and opponents upon his persistency and
faithful labor.
The last determined struggle over the bill
took place yesterday afternoon , when the
senator successfully resisted objectionable
amendments by a vote of ill to 10. The close
ot the contest today was loss stirring.
The bill goes over to the house intact In
every essential provision as the Jlrst general
unadultoratton low which has over passed
cither branch of congress , or which has over
been considered on the floor ot either houso.
Senator Paddock Is naturally elated. Ho
has been In his seat fighting hard for this
measure ever slnco the session began.
Since ho succeeded Ingottlnglt first on the
calendar ho has struggled with much per
sistent tact to keep It lu its place. Ho
fought the light alone and unassisted In the
debate , which lasted day after day , and
against opposition which concentrated the
votes from all the cotton seed oil producing
states. The victory Is his and It Is a result
which has boon achieved by unremitting
effort , bucked by the Inllunnco of a friendly
press.
.Senator 1'iiildock I'lrmml.
Senator Paddock said this afternoon : "I
am pleased that the stain Is removed , nnd I
am satisfied with the result. The hill has
not been at all affected by the amendments
to which I consented , i fool confident that
the house committee , which is now consid
ering the measure , will report it promptly
nnd give it prompt attention In the
houso. The strong pressure brought by the
agricultural Interests , the appeals of the
alliances and granges , the resolutions of
state legislatures and , by no moans least , the
kindly interest and endorsement of the
public press in which Nebraska papers and
THE Bii : : have heartily persisted , must share
with mo any credit if wo finally succeed
In putting this most important measure
upon the statute books of the country. It
will mean millions In the pocket * of our
farmers and produce exporters , and moro
than money to the health of the people , who
are now the chief sufferers from the cheats
and swindlers who are enriching themselves
by selling Injurious compounds under the
brands of pure articles. "
Oiling Ariel 1'tilillc Lands.
Senator Warren of Wyoming said to Tun
BEE correspondent this afternoon of his bill
Introduced today ceding the arid publio
lands to the states nnd territories wherein
they are situated : "I have endeavored to
incorporate nil the restrictions that have
been in good faith proposed by anybody , per
haps more restrictions than tue hill .should
contain. Tno subject of reclamation of arid
lands must bo presented as a matter : of great
necessity and a right , perhaps duo to the
western people , and as an undertaklngrequir-
ing a vast amount of capital. If the United
States government would appropriate enough
money to construct reservoirs , preserve
forests , collect the waters and cuter upon
the reclamation for us , it would support such
a measure. There being no reasonable pros
pects of this wo of the arid region desire to
show our good faith by some proposition
which will lead to the reclamation of this
land and one in which wo make plain our po
sition that wo desire the reclamation and dis
posal of lands to benefit settlors.
" 1 will not cling tenaciously to the pro
vision of my bill if a better ono is intro
duced , either ns to the bill In Its entirety or
to any of Its propositions. ThereTs no ques
tion that the government should , afford us
help in solving the arid land problem. In
the rich and fertile states settlers get very
valuable land from tbo government at as low
prices ana cheaper in many instances and
under less vexatious circumstances than we
are held to , while the arid lands now loft us
are worth but a fraction of as much. The
government should give the states that
which U now nearly valueless to tbo United
States and lot them try to utilize it. I am
confident If the lands nro transferred to the
states wo can interest capital and proceed to
lurgo developments. "

Talc i111 In Kcgiird to It ,
WASHINGTON , D. C. , March p. The senate
spent nearly three hours this afternoon In
the consideration of the Boring sea seal fish-
cry c.iso question. The subject oamo before
It through the presentation of the president's
message KUbnuttlng tbo correspondence on
the subject bctwoon this government and the
government of Great Drltuln. At the con
clusion oMho reading of the president's
message und the correspondence , debate was
begun.
The committee on foreign relations ,
through its chairman , stated in answer to a
question tnut it bad not yet been ublp to fully
consider the treaty nnd report It 'to'the ' sen
ate.
ate.It
It appeared from the discussion that a
largo majority of the senators were of the
opinion that the treaty should bo amended by
the addition of a clause providing for tbo re
newal of tbo modus Vivendi or that the reso
lution of ratification as already Indicated
should be accompanied by a direction of the
president to withhold the raxltlcatlon until
Great Britain consented to a renewal. *
Senator Slicrmuii'i Iilva.
Senator Sherman urged strongly that when
the treaty was reported II should bo rutlfied
by the senate , taking tne ground thut.Vy do
ing so tbo United States would plvouVldonco
to the world of Its willingness to arbitrate
the queatloasInvolved. Tbe president might
bo rolled upou thereafter to continue his ef
forts to sccnnrtho consent ot Orcot Britain
to a renewal T ot thu modus vlvondl ,
if he fallhd / to receive this con
sent It would mnko plain to
the world that Great Britain was not pre
pared to iicl wltn fairness In the arbitration.
Moreover , there AVIXS , In hU opinion , no rea
son why In tlfifT event the United States
should sceit l rcp operation In thu protection
of our own property , If thcro WAS > i failure
to secure n renewal of the nsroomont the
president could bo relied upon to execute the
laws nnd soboli/U / offending vessels.
Senator Teller had grnvo doubts ns to the
ability of the United States to protect the
seals wlthout/i tjjo co operation of England.
Ho pointed to. the obstacles in the way of
( fllcloiit pollMJ1'patrol ' of thn larifo urea of
water and foltf that It would bo oovond the
ability ot our government to effectually ex
clude poachers unless Knglund Joined in tno
work of protection nnd exclusion.
At the conclusion ot the debate It was or
dered that all of the documents should bo
printed nnd then rando publio.
H was the common understanding that the
treaty should bo kept before the senate until
the correspondence had progressed sufll
clontly to enable tbo senators to form an
idea as to thcsnttltudo which Great Britain
Intends finiily to assume In respect to tbo
moans vlvonnl.

sent by Harlow and McCroory contained
many untruthful statements , which were cal

DCS MotNH ? , la. , March 0. [ Special Tele
gram to TIIK BKE.I The house this morning
passed tno joint resolution for a rosubmls-
slon of the prohibitory law. Fifty-two votes
were cast for und forty-six against It , the
democrats nil voting no , nnd yet the question
ot what Is going to bo done on the liquor
question remains nn unsolved mystery.
The senate has passed a license hill nnd
the house follows It up with a rusubinlsslon
measure. The latter can't pass the senate
without democratic votes , nnd the former
can't pass the house without republican
voles , consequently ns the mutter now stands
the legislature Is ns far from reaching a solu
tion of this question as It was the day It con
vened.
Tbora was a rumor of n schema to dispose
of this question floating around the legisla
tive chambers , however , this morning , which
hns a semblance of plausibility about It , . It
Is to the effort that the democrats of the sou-
ate have agreed to vote for resubmlsslon if
enough of the republicans of the house will
votu for the Gatch bill to pass it. It would
only tuito live republicans In tbo house to
pass the bill and It is claimed that there will
bo no dilllculty In obtaining their support
providing the democratic- senate will agree
to submit the question to the people by passIng -
Ing the ratubmlsslon resolution , These are
simply rumors.
The senate committee appointed to In
vestigate the "White Chapel" scandal has
completed iu Investigation nnd agreed upon
a report wbich will bo presented to the
senate lu the morning. Tbereport will
exonerate Senators Dodge and Finn from
any connection with the affair. It Is found
that two travelling men , cue named George
Call of this city and the ether named Brown ,
Impersonated thn senators' It is highly
probable that the matter will not end hero
ns both Senators Dodge and Finn are deter
mined to fully clear themselves of the foul
slander and makn all the rosponslolo parties
suffer.
A favorable report has boon received by
the committee on the bill providing for n
permanent levy of one-tenth of n mill for
onch for the state university and state
agricultural college. This would yield about
$54,000 income for each institution annually.
It Is thought It will become a law.

"Itoliln Hood. "
ThoBostonmns nro friends of lone stand
ing who nro always sure of n cordial wel
come. The acquaintance has been ripening
through a porloil ot ten , twelve or well , no
matter how many years ; for some of ut It
goes back to the boglnnlnif of Miss Obor's
era , when she brought the Boston Ideals to
gether , christened them and took thorn out
ever week circuits In Now England.
When dissension overtook the Ideals wo
trembled for fear of n separation that might
dlvliio our loyalty , but tbo prime favorites
clung together and under the name of the
Bostonians have been continuing nnd empha
sizing their oarlv triumphs. In nil those
years they have done nothing unworthily ,
but have given us renewed opportunity ana
reason for strengthening our friendly admir
ation , Tlmo hns Inexorably brought changes ,
the latest being the retirement Of Miss Marie
Stone , but there remains of the originals
that over popular trio , ICarl , Barnnbeo nnd
MncDonnld. Later years have brought
Frothlngham and Cowlos and Jessie Bartlett
Davis , nnd they too have bean UoUotilaus
long enough to booomo old frlnnds nnd win
their full share of nffoctlonato regard. Now
comes n now soprano , Miss Camllio d'Ar-
vllle , and she Immediately wins her way to
nil hearts.
It may bo true that Tom ICnrl occasionally
hesitates to attack a high note and that there
It room for moro dramatic action In Mr.
MaoDonnld's work ; these nro trifles over
whelmed by excellences.
The Bostonlnus began an oncacomoiit at
the Boyd last evening with "Kobln Hood. "
Tlio opera has been done hero before , but It
has been Improved In the finish of Its du-
tatls , and fresh voices have boon brought to
Its interpretation. "Kobln Hood" Is not too
ovorpoworlngly grand for untruined ears , nor
hns it nught of noisy , grotesque extrava
gance to offend n rcllnod taste. It occupies
the middle ground upon which all grades of
musical comprehension como nearest meet
ing. This hns been the policy of the Boston-
Inns from their Inception , nnd to this no
doubt is largely duo their career of uninter
rupted success.
Koglnaht do Kovcn has long been known
as a successful song writer , nnd his musical
talent has been thoroughly displayed lu
operatic work by the artlstto and expressive/
setting of Harry B. Smith's "Robin Hood. "
Throughout the enure oporn there Is a rich ,
luscious vein of harmony quite nbovo the
ordinary "catchy" element characteristic of
comic opera and the solos are evidences ot
careful study. The style is interesting and
refreshing in Us originality.
The male chorus Introduced bv Eugene
Cowlos' solo In the beginning of the second
act Is worthy of special mention and was re
peated nftor un enthusiastic reception. The
"Madrigal" in the first act was also good ,
but was not ns carefully rendered when re
called as It might have been.
The milkmaid's ' chorus was daintily ren
dered and gave a pleasing Introduction to
the song of Annabel ( Maud Ulmor ) , followed
by Jessie Bartlett Davis ns Allau-a-D.ile.
Tom Karlas Kooln Hood received quite a
flattering ovation on his appearance and was
In rather good voice. His upper tones nro
becoming thin and in his singing it is very
clear that lie Is saving his voice to the ut
most possibility. His quality of tone , however -
over , will continue to bo admired when bis
ranco Is oven moro limited.
It was with a fooling of Interested curios-
itv that the appearance of Camllio d'ArvllIo
( Maud Marian ) was balled , Inasmuch as she
is not generally known in this western coun
try. To sav that stio made a good impres
sion would bo to express a general opinion.
Her voice Is aellgblfullv fresh nnd sweat ,
and while some of her upper tones are a trillo
harsh , her delicate shading and artistic runs ,
not to mention her captivating stage pres
ence , make ono forgot the minor points of
criticism.
The sheriff's role gave Mr. H. C. Barnnboo
an opportunity to display his clear and pleas
ing voice. Ho does not seem to grow old , but
retains his peculiar brightness and verve In
singing. His articulation Is exceptionally
good and was well exhibited in bis sheriff's
SOUL' .
Tbo tno following this number brought
Into prominence a tuner voice of very fair
quality by Mr. Peter Lang. The features of
tno second net wore Liittlo John's ( W. H.
MacDonald's ) "October Ale. " a drinking
song with a melodious chorus. It was fairly
well rendered , the upp'or tones being notice
ably strained , however , in several places.
The "Tinker's Song. " made a successful
mole chorus , and was followed by an equally
successful pastoral glee and sextette.
Jessie Burtlott Davis ( Allan-a-Dule ) sup
plied a very enjoyable Interpolation by sing
ing do Kovon's popular ballad , "Oh , Prom
ise Mo. " It Is needless to say that she did
full justice to the piece.
Mile. Cnmlllo d'Arvlllo's solo , ' "Neath
Greenwood Trees , " was not sufficiently
adapted to her voice , but she sang with good
taste. Tom ICarl was beurd to better ad
vantage In his serenade than In his former
selections , and the quartette by Marian ,
Allnn-u-Dalo , Scarlet and Robin Hood was
well rendered.
Eugene Cowlos as Will Scarlet opened tbo
third act auspiciously bv his dramatic rendi
tion of the "Armorer's Song. " Doing n
young man and possessing a glorious voice ,
his capabilities for becoming a great operatic
singer seem to bo promising.
Allen-a-Daln's solo , with chorup , "Tho
Bells of St. Smlthons , " was also an excel
lent number , and was greeted with hearty
applause. George Frotblngham had little
opportunity ns Friar Tuck to display his fine
voice , but ho pictured un amusingly hypo
critical churchman.
Mr. Barnabce's comedy was delicious and
refined. Miss d'ArvllIo , besides displaying
an attractive face and figure , brought to her
role nn excellent histrionic ability. MUs
Jessie Bartlett Davis mido a handsome ,
sentimental lever , and Miss Maud Ulmor
was a piotty , petlto Annabel.
The chorus of the company is carefully
.selected und unusually flno , and the orubu -
tni did good work , with one or two RXCOP-
tions in which the accompaniments were a
llttlo unsympathetic.
