Dcnman Thompson Is iiroliaWy the most
prosi eroiis nctor on the stage nt the present
time. His weekly Income now nveragcs over
$7,000. This Includes the prollts of his two
"Old Homestead" companies nnd his slmro
in "I'llo Two Sisters" show. Mr. Thompson
calls > ,0 ° 0 n week starvation business. It
may ho Interesting to know that this Is the
llrst tlmo In three years that Dcnman
Thompson hits personally derived any finan
cial benefits from his theatrical enterprises.
Three years n o ho drew up a contract
which provided that every penny obtained
from his shows should bo placed in the bank
to the credit of his two younger children.
The next year the net earnings wcro all
given to Frank Thompson , his eldest son ,
and last year Mrs. Thompson ffot all the re
ceipts ,
'Tho theatrical business , like everything
clso , " explained Mr. Thompson , "is uncer
tain , nnd I thought I'd nmku liny while the
Bun was shining. 1'vo miido my folks com
fortably well off , and this year Uncle. Josh Is
in It for himself , "
It may bo said that no theatrical man has
over stood prosperity butter than Dcnman
Thompson. With ono exception ho is the
Name , pood-hearted , simple Undo Joan as
of old , but ho has undergone ono great
change this year. Ho has a tall silk hat.
Few actresses on the stngo have a moro
distinct Individuality than Johnstoiie Hen-

'one of thu hits of the last two seasons. She
made her debut with the Willard-Trcmaino
company.
"It was the greatest gang of fakirs that
over exhibited outsldo a county fair. " said
Miss Ilcimutt in a recent Interview. "I was
the leading lady. Wo played 'Camlllc , ' and
I was a Camlllc. "
" \Vo also played 'East ' Lynno,1 'T > ady of
Iivons , ' 'Tho Kca of lee,1 'Solon Shingle , '
'Unclo Tom's Cabin , ' 'Hob , the Detective , , '
and 'Kit Carson , the Scout. ' Ono night 1
would bo called UIXMI to play 'Camillo'
iand the next "Tho 1'arlrlo Wolf. '
" had Morris 'Camilla '
"I seen Clara play ,
but , of course , I played it somewhat differ
ently from her way. In fact. I don't think
my conception of the part lias over been
imitated. 1 don't think It could bo. The
audlcnco evidently thought the same , ono
audience in particular. This iiuulo mo in
dignant , and I threatened to quit. The
manager owed mo eight weeks salary. Ho
handed mo 50 cents.
"Then I rocked the waves of the ocean in
the 'Sea of Ice. ' I did not linvo any part in
the play , and I had to toss the waves at crit
ical moments and Imitate the sighing of the
wind. Local indignation caused us to occas
ionally change our repertory. On one occas
ion , when 'Camillo' was announced , our lead
ing man was In despair.
' "Mydawdl'ho exclaimed , 'I can't play
Arnnmdl'
" 'Why not ? ' thundered our manager.
11 'llecauso I haven't the price of a shave
and I can't play Armand with a moustache. '
" 'That's so,1 mused the manager , 'Wo
will have to change the bill.1
"Wo did. Wo played 'Undo Tom's
Cabin. ' "
So many specialty pcoplo from the other
sldo of the water have visited America this
season that some of the T ondon concert halls
cannot pet all the clover performers they
want. Sir Augustus Harris says that ho is

theater. His manager cabled Jennie Yea-
mans last week offering her & ! < K ) a wcclc for
ten minutes work each night. Miss Yea-
mans says that she does not care to do spe
cialty work any more , but wants to act. So
she cabled to the London manager that she
could not afford to go to London for less than
a sum much larger than the offer made to
her.

She thought that would end the matter ,
but last evening an answer came stating
that the manager of the Savoy would accede
to her demands upon certain conditions ,
which wore explained in a letter now on its
way to Now York. Now she Is at a loss
what to do.
"There is a sermon In this , " said Miss
Yeamans. "What is the drama coming tc

A year ago Wilton Lac-kayo planted a sprlf

tallied from Shakespeare's tomb by Mr

"Spider and Fly , " M. U. Lcavltt's spec-
actilar show , which has given three very
ueeessful performances at Hoyd's theater ,
'loses ' its engagement tonight.
At the Farnam street matinee this after-
icon Fowler & Warmlngton's comedians
ipen a notable engagement in the well known
'omcdy ' , "Skipped by. the Light of the
jloon. " This is ono of the most popular of
'ardcal skits , and although it has been bo-
'ore the public a number of seasons it is ap-
wirenlly as fresh and vigorous as when It
, vas first brought out. This is owing in a
great measure , no doubt , to the fact that the
management Is constantly introducing new
Hongs , dances and other specialties In the
ilecc , as well as now faces , and in this way
, hn funny play is never allowed to appeal-
old , but always manages to retain the fresh
ness and vigor of youth. The company this
season is said to bo the best one that has
over appeared in it here , and the play Itself
"tas undergone a thorough revlsal. There is
? nough comic element in "Skipped" to sup
ply half u dozen ordinary plays , but the mana
gers think their patrons cannot have too much
of a good thing , and hence they give them a
surfeit. Among the new artists who will bo
seen hero for the llrst time in this play are
Bttdd Hess , formerly with Jarbcau'ji com
pany ; George A. Hooker , last season with
'A Pair of Jacks" company ; E. S. Tarr ,
atcly with Kico's "Corsair' ' company ; Miss
Lizzie Ingles , last season with the "Two Sis-
: crs" company , and Miss Kstcllc Clinton ,
formerly with "ICvangelinc. " A good per
formance is assured. Usual Wednesday
inatince.
Stuart Ttobson and a supporting company
of clever artists will bo the attraction of
fered the patrons of Boyd'a now theater the
first half of the present week , commencing
tomorrow night. Stuart Hobson is a most
conscientious actor , with a strong individ
uality , which heightens the comical quail-
tics of his acting. Monday evening ho will
inaugurate bis engagement with a presenta
tion of Joseph Bradford's very laughable
called "The Bachelors "
comedy , appearing
as Prof. Bangle , a most impressionable old
warrior. This comedy will bo staged in the
same manner that characterizes Mr. Hob-
son's production of "Sho Stoops to Con
quer , " and will bo ono of the comedian's
first performances of the play in its present
shape , preparatory to its early production
at the Fifth Avenue theater. New
York City. On Tuesday evening and at the
Wednesday matinee Mr. Hobson will bo seen
as Tony Tumpkln in Oliver Goldsmith's im
mortal comedy -'She Stoops to Conquer. "
For the proper presentation'of these plays
Mr. llohson carries two carloads of scenery
and properties wherever ho goes. Wednes
day evening Mr. Hobson's engagement will
terminate with the only performance this
season of Bronson Howard's successful com
edy of the century. "The Henrietta. " in
which Mr. IZobson will bo seen as Bertie the
Lamb.
The success of "Nora Machrec" Is not to
be wondered at , as Mr. Ellis has utilized
every essential to make the production pleas
ing. A bright galaxy of artists give a living
representation of stirring events , every mem
ber of the company being peculiarly adapted
forcachdistlnctivopnrt. Songs and choruses ,
and graceful dancing , the famed team of
Shetland ponies , the smallest of their kind
in the world , are in themselves alone well
worth the price of admission. These little
mites are great favorites with the children.
"Nora Machrco" comes to Boyd's theater on
Thursday. Friday and Saturday of this
week , with Saturday matinee.
At the Bijou theater , tonight sees the last
presentation of the drama , "Kathleeen
Mavournecn , " in fact , of any drama , as com
mencing tomorrow the Burton Stanley Com
edy company will commence an engagement
and present comedy plays. The manage
ment of Wonderland and Bijou theater has
been contemplating this change for some
time , and in addition to engaging Burl on
Stanley , who is ono of the best
known comedians in America , there has
also been , engaged Lewis Meredith
and Jack Raal. Harry Barlow remains ,
so the now company will contain four excel
lent comedians. They will open with "Tho
Widow's Troubles , " being Burton Stanley's
personal version of Mrs. Partington. and ho
is the equal of Neil Burgess in the character
of the \ \ idow , The specialties for next week
will lie very strong , introducing Slackuy. the
phenomenal wire walker ; Harbor , the chain-
plon trick bicyclist ; Mllo. Barctta , the fe
male Samson , in feats of strength nnd a
clover dancing turn ; thoTanners , the Aerjol
motors , in the double trapcse , and
Charles Sully , as the Irish swell
policeman , a clover song and dance.
A special feature will also bo Introduced In
Curio hall lu the person of the smallest ol

iv perfectly formed little man , who was ex
hibited all over Europe with Lucia Xaratto ,
the famous Mexican midget , and there was
very little difference between their sizes ,
I lop Is now 20 years of ago and weighs lesa
than ten pounds. An interesting lecture
will bo delivered upon this pigmy prior to
each show in the theater ,
Of all the plays that have over boon writ'
ten , few have acquired a more worldwide
celonrity than "Monte Crlsto , " which is coil'
ceded to bo the masterpiece of that wonder'
ful novelist and skillful playwright , Alexander
dor Dumas. The dramatic construction of this
relobratcd work as presented by the Spec
tacular Monte Chrlsto company at the Far
mini next Thursday is said to differ materl
ally from any version hitherto exploited h
this country , and is given with a wealth ol
special scenery and mechanical effects. It is
claimed by the management that this is tin
most olnbomto and costly production of this
great play over before attempted by anj
traveling organization , The company is sal !
to be thoroughly competent , with the Dril
limit character uctor , Fred Fclton , in tin

Ono of the most Interesting characters In
Omaha Is Hiram W. Alderson. Ho earns
his living as a common laborer , but Is by no
means a common sort of a man , Having
lived long In Omaha ho Is quite well known
here and at labor meetings is frequently
spoken of. Alderson Is a New Englandcr , his"
father having sin-en a merchant of some
wealth in Portland , Mo. Up to
the tlmo ho was sent to Co
lumbia university , ho lea the life of
an ordinary young malt In his ] > ositlon , but
at the college he made the acquaintance of
several young men who were devoting a
great deal of attention to the study of so
cialism and similar philosophy. Alderson
became interested. Ills studies resulted In
his becoming an enthusiast and ho neglected
his studies to devote his time to reading the
works of celebrated social reformers. All
this finally ended in Aldcrson'a leaving Col
umbia and commenting life as a common
laborer , with a view of studying the condi
tion of the working people to determine
whether any of the theories which so greatly
interested him could be practically applied.
At llrst his course was merely a matter of
choice , but when bis father died .voting Al
derson was dlsosod | of with a $1 Inherit
ance. Since his father's death Aldorson
has not regretted bis early determination
and still earns his living by hard labor ,
though ho has frequently been offered more
remunerative employment.
Aldorson is now a man of about -10 years.
Since ho left college in what was considered
n most eccentric manner , he has spent the
greater part ol his time traveling about the
country , from New York to 'Frisco and from
St. Paul to New Orleans. Besides visiting
all the cities and states In this country ,
he has worked in Canada and Mex
ico. In appearance Mr. Alderson is a tall ,
muscular looking fellow. He generally wears
Jeans trousers , flannel shirts and a corduroy
coat. His face is ruddy and there is nothing
In the big fisted , strapping fellow to indicate
the dreamer and enthusiast. On the con
trary , his eyes look dull and sleepy and ho
has a morose and taciturn expression. Ho
talks very little and seems to avoid being
spoken to. Many laboring men Who work
with him are repelled by his stern and
gloomy look , while others hold him in high
esteem , having discovered the real good
qualities of the man.
"There is ono growing evil In this country , "
he said in a conversation with a Bi'.Breporter
recently , "which the labor organizations
should endeavor to correct. That is the
restlessness of men following the various
trades. The tendency to roam should
be checked ; if necessary , heroic means
should bo adopted. Some years ago ,
men skilled in any of the trades were
in great demand all over the country
and a mechanic leaving ono place
could find work elsewhere without delay.
This condition spoiled a number of good
mechanics and the welcome union now ex
tend to newly arrivcn union men is sure to
have the same effect if not changed in some
respects. The very fact that it is possible
to get work elsewhere makes now good men
undervalue their jobs and often on insufll-
. jent grounds they quit work and go clsc-
ivhcrc. Any financial embarrassment or
Hher inconvenience is liable' to set them
ivimdcring. Now what is the effect ? The
. ountry is filling up with mechanics and
aborers. The man who leaves ? job has not
us good a show of getting another place as
Formerly and the time will cr/aio / when the
.neii who have been taught t/ao lesson of
ivandering and half cncourapM in it by a
: also feeling of fratcrnality will suffcrdccply.
Without wishing to appear harsh or un
charitable , I think that roving should bo
discouraged. I have studied the matter
carefully. The men who remain in one
place have homes , care for families and
sometimes save considerable money , while
the men who wander about are homeless ,
their families suffer and the very help they
receive from sympathetic fellow tradesmen
"s a curse instead of a blessing. "
The Working Wnuiontt Ilntnc.
Like a great many other deserving institu
tions , the Working Women's home is 'not on
i\ solid financial basis. The homo , however ,
is very nearly self-supporting. Its Yccoipts ,
independent of subscriptions and donations
of coal , pay for everything except the rent
and fuel. Considering the growing import
ance of Omaha as a manufacturing point and
the increasing number of young working
women in the city , the homo is doing a noble
work and its Held of usefulness is continually
enlarging. Girls , strangers in the city , are
taken in and cared for until they can find
work , and none are expected to take any
position offered , but a careful effort is made
to find something to do suitable to each
woman. In this way , young girls from the
country and good-women are saved from suf
fering privations or encountering tempta
tions to which needy females are often sub
ject.Mrs.
Mrs. Manning , the matron , receives all
women who apply at the home. Those who
can pay are charged SI a week or 15 cents a
meal , and those who have no money nro kept
until work can bo found for them , pending
which they do sewing and repairing for
patrons of the home. Of late the homo has
been crowded and the matter of paying the
rent and securing fuel has become a problem.
It is intended to give an entertainment soon
for the benefit of the home. With the aid of
talented young ladies in the city it is ex
pected that an attractive program can be
arranged and a successful entertainment
given. Less than fiUX ) would place the lin-
anccs of the homo in a condition to tide over
the winter , ami with the arrival of sin-ing it
will bo much easier to make both ends moot.
The homo is doing moro good than is gener
ally supposed , ai.d is certainly deserving of
supi > orl.

The officers of the World's Fair estimate that the dally admissions to the Fair
will rise above 200,000 peoplo. Our capacity for carrying passengers in our Elec
tric Cars in making ascensions and doscontions of the TOWER is 12,000 people per
hour , and wo confidently counton lO.OOOpor hour. Thlswill ba found a moderate
estimate when duo regard is had to the attractiveness ? of the TOWER and the
RARE experience itlTordcd by a trip to the top.
The TOWER is located opposilo the WOMAN'S BUILDING , at the Eastern
Entrance of the MIDWAY PLAISANCE in the WORLD'S FAIRGROUNDS.
Each person , in making the ascent and descent of the TOWER , gains a view of the
entire EXPOSITION BUILDINGS.
The TOWER is ever 500 feet high and 210 foot In diameter. It requires nine
complete turns to reach the top , the grade bolng eight per conta ride of two miles
in making the ascent nnd descent ; consequently , nlno different pictures arc ob
served of the WORLD'S FAIRGROUNDS as the ascent is made. A view from
the OBSERVATORY FLOOR not only elves the vast Panorama , at your foot , but
also gives the geographical position of the WORLD'S FAIR BUILDINGS , so that
after making the ascent of the TOWER any person can go unguidedf rom building
to building.
It is the Intention to have two FULL BANDS on the OBSERVATORY
FLOOR A BRASS BAND and a COMPLETE STRING ORCHESTRA which
will play alternately from the opening of the FAIR in the morning until the close
at night. An ORCHESTRA will also bo located in the center of the great TOWER
RESTAURANT at the bottom.
