If enterprise is worth } of success , then the greatest success In the world is due Manager Day of Wonderland and Bijou theater. Through his energy the people of Omaha are now able to enjoy the best of shows nnd at a price within the reach of all. This has been the aim of the management from the day the stock company was first organized , but it wns Impossible to secure the right people nt first , but now they point with pride to the following array of brilliant talent : Mr. George Wessclls , ono of America's greatest diameter actors , who at different times has supported Edwin Booth. Lawrence Barrett. K L. Davenport , Mine. Janus- click , Fanny Davenport nnd others. Miss Nellie Elting. n charming little woman , for whom n bright professional career Is des tined. Miss Elting comes of a wealthy New York family. In fact , is an heiress. She , however , Is so completelv In love with her adopted profession that she has spent thous ands of dollars of her income in perfecting herself for the stnirc , nnd the result Is Miss Elting Is n great actress. Miss Irene Wor rell Is another valuable addition to the com pany. Miss Worrell is a sister of Mrs. CJeorgo S. Knight and hns been with some of the best companies of the east. Mr. Sam Holton , nnot/hcr actor of nollity , Miss Dora Lowe , n handsome character actress , nnd Mr. Frnnlc AVinters , nn , English ' actor of note' , nlso nugment the company , nnd with Mr. Harry Barlow Miss Gypsy Barlow , Mr. C. E. James nnd Mr. J. F. Matthews of the old company , they Imvo n stock comblnntion enpnble of playing any drama over written. Last week n grand production ofThe Golden Giant" wns given and it unquestionably wns the best play of the season , yet the play of this week , com mencing tomorrow , promises to eclipse it. It Is the iwwerful melodrama ' 'Tho Strnnglcrs of Paris. " Mr. Wcsscls ns.Jngonnnd Miss Elting as Mnthildo do Vllleneau are without equals and the balance of tlio roles are in good hands. The specialty program will nlso bo ono of more than average merit. Manager Day wishes to impress upon the mind of the public that although his prices nro ttio lowest of any theater in the city , that from now on the plays produced at his house will bo equal to any givoii nt any theater in America.

Ever since occupying their offices In the city hall the engineering department has felt the need of a suitable room and ap pliances for blue process printing. This need lias now been remedied. Contractor Coots has converted ono of the vacant apartments on the sixth floor into a "blue print" room which is second to none. In the city. The room is furnished with tables , chairs , dark box , sink , drying- rack , In fact , every thing essential to first-class printing. All the furniture is of oak. The printing frame , which is 44 inches by BO Inches , is mounted on a cnr In such n manner that it rray bo set ut any angle. The car Is on a track running through a window onto the roof. At the end of this track is n turn table which , used In connection with the movcablo table , enables the operator to got the direct rays of the sun at any time of the day. The sink Is supplied with an overflow waste pipe , which keeps the water fresh , and also a hose for washing the prints , that the best methods Iu finishing may bo secured. Draughtsman John McLeurio of the engi neering department designed the apparatus and superintended the construction. * Operators unil ICmplnyera Ajfree.

Cotton'n Ilccltnli. Preliminary steps hnvo been taken for the incorixmitlon of the Omaha Opera Festival school , nnd the plan of Miss C. C. Tenant Clary for n local stage In this city bids very fair to be carried out. The plan Is a broad one and Its consummation means any nniount of hard work with at best but n limited reward nt first further than the advancement of the musical standard nnd interest In Omaha. But Miss Clary is n worker nnd the opera school Is the hobby upon which she seems willing to de vote her entire time and apparently unlim ited energy. She has been persistent In her efforts to enlist the interest of the leading citizens in the enterprise and has succeeded In a measure that must bo n surprise nnd a rcbuko to the less enterprising promoters of music who hnvo spent so much time In the past In proclaiming -that Omaha people do not take any Interest in such movements. The tangible result of Miss Clary's efforts was shown at n meeting held n few even ings ngo , when the first steps toward the final organization of the school were tnken. The meeting was attended by n largo number of the most prominent citizens and the inter est manifested was n guaranty that the plans proiroscd will bo carried out and the enterprise given n fair trial with liberal en couragement , nnd what more could the promoter meter of any enterprise ask ? At the meeting Miss Clary was chosen president of the proposed incorporation ; Hon. George P. Bomls , vlco president ; N. M. Hubbard , consulting attorney , and Dr. O. S. Wood consulting physician. An advisory board was selected , consisting of the follow ing well knotvn citizens : Rev. J. T. Dur.yon , Rev. Newton Mann , Max Mover , Thomas Kilpatrick , F P. Kirkcndall , C. F. Goodman , E. Rosewater , Clement Chase , Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Buchanan , W A. Paxton , W. J. Cou ncil , J. M. Woolworth , Mrs. Peattlo and Mrs. Thomas L. Kimbnll. Committees were appointed to prepare the articles of Incorporation nnd a constitution and by-laws to bo reported at a meeting to bo held this week , when the further plans of the school will bo announced to these in terested in the movement. Negotiations nro pending for instructors In the various departments of the school. There is n very good chance to secure the services of Max Maretrek as director. Ho will tit least introduce the work , and if ho cannot remain permanently with the school Madame Murctzek will probably bo secured as director. Prof.-Maraud will have charge of the dancing classes and Prof. Dennis of the fencing classes. It Is now the plan lo open the school In March , although It may bo decided to fix the opening date for the first week it April. The term will continue four months. These who hare oeen made acquainted with Miss Clary's plans for the school are very sanguine of the success of the move ment and nredlct thnt in a few years Omaha will have u local stage worthy of the name. The next recital of the Ladles Musical so ciety will bo held ntFord & Charlton's music hall on Wednesday evening of this week. The program will bo furnished by the Phil omela quartet , ono of the most popular of local vocal organizations and whoso previous performances have'been ' received with much satisfaction by Omaha Audiences. Tno quar tet Is composed of Misses Clara Clurkson , Myrtle CocmfBIshop.und-'M'rs.- ' . The following program will bo rendered Wednes day evening : The Cliliuos J. 0. Mucy Quartet.

The Omaha Musical union has begun another year of existence under the direction of the following ofllcors , who were instnltcd last week : President , H. Schunko ; vice presi dent , Burt Butler ; recording sccretnry , J. ICauffman ; financial secretary , F. Borghuff ; treasurer , Julius Meyer : trustees , < * L. Schneider , E. Nordln and Charles Eggors ; executive committee , Frank Taylor , Peter Fuchs , Henry Lotz , J. Souerwcin nnd W. Lamp. The organization has constantly increased In membership nnd interest during the year nnd now Includes most of the first-class in strumental musicians of the city , The total membership Is 1H7 , which will , no doubt , continue to increase in the future. The failure of the Musln Concert company to keep their engagement in this city is to bo regretted , ns the company is without doubt ono of the best that is likely to visit Omaha. The Apollo club had been to con siderable trouble nnd some expense In secur ing the attraction , and at the popular prices which had been decided on no lover of good music would have had an excuse for staying away. Whether the company can bo secured for a date later in the season Is not sure nt present , but an effort In this direction will probably bo made. The first performance of Mascagnl's "L'Amlco Fritz" In America will bo given In Music hull , New York , January 31 , under the management of Mr. Morris Reno nnd the musical direction of Walter Dumrosch. The entertainment will bo for the benefit of the Young Men's Hebrew association nnd the Hebrew Institute. Mr. Payne Clark , who was recently heard In local opera in this city will assume ono of the solo parts , and other stars will bo Mine. Sclma Kronold-Koert , Mrs. Clara Poole nnd Slgnor del Pucnto. These will bo supported by n chorus of forty voices. Mine. Fannie Bloomflcld-Zaisler , whoso performance nt the .Llninger gallery In this city some time ngo delighted n largo aud ience , gave two concerts In Chicago last week , ono nt the Chicago university nnd another nt Contrail Music hall , under the auspices of the Amateur Musical club. Her playing was extolled to the verge of perfec tion by the critics who united in considering her ono of the greatest living lady pianists. It Is to bo regretfect that Paderowskl's concert tour of thfcxcountry does not Include Omaha. Ho is said , to have entirely recov ered from his recent illness , which It was feared would prevent him from ever again appearing on the concert stage. His recent performances nt Music hall , New York have , given the impression that his work is oven better than before. * The musical features of the services nt Trinity cathedral this morning will consist of the "To Deum" by Smart und the "Jubi late" by Dudley Iluck. For the offertory the choir will sing "How Lovely Are Thy Messengers" from Mendelssohn's oratorio , "St. Paul. " At the evening service the "Magnltleato" and "Nuno IJimlttls" by Spark will bo rendered and nlso the tenor solo und chorus "Seek Yo the Lord , " Mr. Wllkins singing the solo. Chicago has n phenomenon In the person of Elsa Brett , u 5-year-old miss who Is to appear In n concert at Central Mualo hull on the evening of January 33. This child artist has been heard by Paderowskl , D'Albert and SchnrwenKa who expressed much as tonishment nt her embryo talent. The failure of the Dlgby Boll Opera rom- ixiny loft forty of Its members almost penni less In Chicago. A benefit performance was arranged at ono of the local theaters In which E. S. WIHard , Pauline Hall and n number of other leading theatrical people participated. It Is existed that the com- pai ii.V will bo reorganized , Mr , Henry E. Dl x'ey succeeding Mr. Boll , The first of Mrs. Cotton's scries of com- posers recitals will bo given January S3. The program will bo devoted to the rendition of selections from Uubonsteln's compositions nnd Miss Popplcton will read n paper on the author , Tlio recital will bo n private ono for the delectation of invited guests. A first clnss tenor who would llko to sing In n now tnnlo chorus that Is to be organised In the Immediate future can bo accommo dated by communicating with the musical critic of Tin : Bnn. The chorus will Include some of the best male vocalists In the city and will have the benefit of excellent In struction. , The vocal clubs of * ll the larco cities nro industriously rehearsing the World's fair music , which they will sing In grand chorus next Juno. Most of them will given local May festival , nt which they will give n pub lic rehearsal of the oratorios now In ro- hcarsal. * * The Chapel quartet Is one of the younger male vocal organizations of the city which has won Its share of popular approbation during Its brief existence. The quartet was organized about n year ago with Mr. E. H. Wcdgo , first tenor ; E. Harding , second tenor : A. P Conovcr , b.irltono nnd J. L. Hockwell , basso. The club did not appear in public for some time which wns devoted to preliminary rehearsals. Slnco then , how ever , they have sung nt a number of local entertainments with marked success and have constantly improved in their work. Mr. Wedge has an excellent tenor voice of the lyric school. Ho has a good compass , with tones of pleasing quality and a clear , ringing Intonation. Ho is solo tenor at St. Matthias Episcopal church and secretary of the Schubert Glee club. Aside from his musical duties ho Is cashier for a leading wholesale house. Mr. Harding , the second tenor , Is also connected with the St. Matthias choir. Ills voice is of good quality , with a baritone tendency. His Intonation is sympa thetic nnd blends harmoniously with other voices. Mr. Conover Is the possessor of a flexible , resonant baritone voice , which Is of good compass and pleasing effect. Ho Is the director of the Knox church choir. Mr. Koekwell is solo basso nt St. Matthias church , and Is also vlco president of the Schubert Glee club. His volco Is remarka bly powerful in the low tones and has excep tional range. The quartet has several out of town engagements during the season. I'eter Iiillr.v' ) Sonj ; . The following song was written for Mr. Peter Dalley by Frank J. Bryant of Chicago , who is comparatively unknown as a comic song writer , but who nevertheless is liable to become famous through his song , "Chris * topher Columbus , " which Mr. Dailoy Is sing ing nightly in the performance of "A Mad Bargain. " The music Is taken partly from the opera of "The Gondoliers" and partly coniK | > sed by Mr. Dailcy : I'll sing lo you about n man. Whoso tinino you'll find In lilatoiy.

Some of the Polntft On Which Judgment of Prediction * Should He Mude. People who do not understand the system of forecasts and signals which govern the United States weather buvrau nro given tea a good deal of unjust and unreasonable ) criti cism , It is natural for n person to supnoso that the weather prevailing In his immediate locality covers a much wider area than Is frequently the case , and the appearance of a local flurry of snow or a local shower sf rain In the face of a prediction of fair weather on the part of the weather forecaster Is pointed to by mnny nnd frequently spoken of In editorial comment as nn absolute failure of the forecaster , when as a matter of fact his prediction may bo verified by the average weather over the area for which ho is sup pose ! to make the forecast. A local flurry of snow or a slight fall of rain does no" ern prove a local forecast of fair weather to have been a mistake. The phrase "fair weather" in weather bureau language , means weather In which less that one-hundredth of an Inch of rain or snow bus fallen within twenty-four hours , To n person unacquainted with this meaning of the phrnso the forecasts made by Captain Hunt of the Omaha weather bureau during the month of December often appeared to have been erroneous when they were verified by the record during the entlro month , with the exception of ono or two daya. _ There wcro twelve days durinfr the month In which it snowed , but the fall was less than ono-one-hundrcdth of nn inch and consequently the prediction of "fair weather" for these days was correct , although It blew and snowed furiously for a few minutes each day. There were but nine days during the month that could bo called "foul" days , according to the rules of the weather bureau. That Is , there were but nine days In which there was a fall of inoro than ono-one-hundrcdth of an inch of snow or rain. The forecaster Is not Justified , therefore , in sending out n prediction of snow unless he believes that there will bo n fall of more than ono ono-hundrdth of nn Inch. With regard to the cold wave signals , It Is also duo to the local forecaster to state that lie simply follows directions from Washington In display Ing them. It sometimes happens that the forecaster In Washington , looking nt the situation from long range and being unfamiliar with the local peculiarities of climate , may order a i cold wave for Omaha or some other iKilnt when the local forecaster "feels It in his bones" thnt there will bo no such de cided drop of the mercury as the head onlco hns predicted. But , acting of course ns nn obedient ofllcor. ho Is obliged to hoist the cold wave signal and publish the prediction sent out from headquarters. Then , when the cold wnvo fulls to put In an appearance , the people jeer and make sport of the local forecaster , notwithstanding the fact that the weather may hnvo been cold enough to freeze the whiskers off of the man In the moon in localities not very far away. The month of November was somewhat unpleasant , but there were but 'ewdujs in the month that the forecaster could call foul. After Captain Hunt took charge of thho Omaha office there was only ono day during the remainder of the month In which more than ono one-hundredth of an Inch or rain or snow fell , Tim past full and winter has been a time In which the local forecasts of fair weather have appeared ridiculous and incorrect , because there have been so many Incipient storms and slight falls of snow and rain that amounted to dis agreeable weather , but did not make it "foul" In the eyes of the weather buicau.

[ Correspond ence to TUB line. ] Several men who have become more ' or less conspicuous in the pub lic cyoln'thoslx or more years of their service In the senate of the United States , will retire to private life on the 4th of March next , and If they follow the example of most of tli-sIr Immediate predecessors , they will sink Into the depths of political obscurity. The scnato was once a stepping , stone to high political preferment. Of late years politicians have como to regard It as a political graveyard. Occasionally a man llko Spooner of Wisconsin , who leaves the scnato whllo ho Is still in the vigor of early manhood , keeps his name and personality before the public , and possibly attains even greater distinction tlnn ho earned by his services in the upper branch of the national legislature. In the early history of the sen ate It was a school for statesmen. From It they graduated Into positions of trust and honor. Men have rcslgne.l from the senate to accept posts in the public service which are now considered far bslow the senator- ship In honor. For example , ono of Now York's senators resigned to become mayor of New York City ; another to bo postmaster there. Today the senate seams to bo the climax of political ambition or at least of political achievement. At brief Intervals paragraphs appear In public print , perhaps live or six Hues in length , announcing under a telegraph date line that "Mr. died hero today. Ho was formerly a senator from this state and served from to . " The average newspaper reader has prooably never heard of Scnitor . Ten years hence some of the men who arc to retire from the scuiito on the Ith of next March will die , psrlrips , and their obituaries will attract just as little attention from the newspaper reiders of tint day. Here is n partial list of men who have re tired from the United States ssniito within a few years , with a brief st'itenunt of their present occupation : W. M. Evarts of Now York ha 1 been secretary - rotary of state baforo he went into the sen- ate. He has now retired to private lifo and to comparative obscurity , spending much of his time at his beautiful country homo in Vermont. Mr. Edmunds of Vermont , who was a strong candidate for the prcsldcntal nomina tion eight years ago , resigned from the sen ate because of his own failing health and the poor health of several members of his family. Ho spends his time In travel and recreation. Ho is now in California. .lohnathan Chase of Rhode Island resigned his sent In the senate to give attention to his business affairs. No ono outside of Rhode Island over hears of him today. But for that matter ho was not especially conspicu ous during his term in the senate , except for the fact that ho was the only Quaker there and that ho wore u steel-pen coat all day.Mr. Mr. Conger of Michigan used to divide in terest with Mr. Chase in this peculiarity of attire. Mr. Conger Is now practicing law in Washington , appearing chiefly before the committees of congress. Ho is no longer u public character. Henry B. Payne of Ohio , over whoso elec tion there was so extended a controversy , hns slipped out of public notice completely since the expiration of his term. If he is known still it Is as the fathcr-ln-Iaw of that champion political foolkiller , Mr. Whitney. Mr. Farwell of Illinois was a political accident nnd ho will probably not fall into prominence a second time. Ho has gone back to Chicago to attend to his business interests , and ho is a very small factor in politics there. , Mr. Saulsbury of Delaware joined Mr. Bayard \ in political obscurity when his state fell ' Into thojinnds of the republican party. ' Mr. Bayard 'may como back to the senate if Senator Gray should go into Mr. Cleveland's cabinet ; but the Bayard and Saulsbury su premacy In Dolcwnro Is almost a thing of the past. Mr. Jones of Florida spent the last few years of his term In Detroit , the victim of n diseased mind. Ills hallucination was that a very wealthy Detroit woman wanted to marry him. At last accounts he was still nursing this idea ; but ho had ceased to bo of any political prominence. Sir. Brown of Georgia retired from the senate on account of old age. Ho had ceased to be of much value as n lawmaker long be fore his retirement. His retirement from the senate was his retirement from public lifo. lifo.Mr. Mr. Fair of Nevada , who mndo room for Senator Stewart six years ago , has attracted attention slnco only when some now.ipape- has reviewed the history of fortunes madr in mining. Ho was llttlo more than a tlgurco head In the senate anyway. Mr. Mahone of Virginia made way for a democrat six years ago. and slnco his retire ment has succeeded in keeping the republi can party in Virginia divided , but ho has not accomplished anything for cither the party or himself , and , except as a disturbing element , ho Is of llttlo Importance. His old colleague , Riddlebergcr , died soon after his retirement , but , If ho had lived ho could never have amounted to anything politically again. Of other men who have retired from the senate within a comparatively recent period , Mr. Garland of Arkansas Is practicing law obscurely In Washington ; Mr , Dorsoy of the same state is running n ranch In the south west ; Mr. Bo wen of Colorado , who was made famous chiefly through the mining and poker stories told about him , has disappeared entirely from the political horizon ; Benjamin Harrison of Indiana has become president of the United States ; Thomas A. Hcndricks of Indiana had been elected vice president and Inducted into that office at the time of his death ; Joseph McDonald of Indiana retired to the practice of law , and became of late jcars ; a lobbyist before congress ; Mr. Ingalls of Kansas Is keeping himself In the public eye by lecturing In small towns ; Mr. Eustis of Louisiana Is living In Washington doing nothing , but 1m Is a possible member of Mr , Cleveland's cabinet ; Mr. Palmer of Michigan has become president of the World's fair commission ; Mr. Sabln of Min nesota went back to private life to recover the fortune which ho lost whllo ho was giv ing his tlr.io to politics : Mr. McMillan of Minnesota has also retired to private lifo ; . Mr. Lamar of Mississippi went from the * senate Into Mr. Cleveland's cnblir.it and < tiienco to the supreme bench ; Mr. Van ' . ' Wyck of Nebraska has loft the republican l party and Identified himself with the popu list , and ho was thelrcamlldatu for governor recently ; Mr. Blair of New Hampshire has just been elected to the house of rcprosenta- ' lives ; Mr. Sowell of New Jersey occupies a prominent plaeo In the republican party in his state because of his largo railroad Inter- cats and his financial Influence ; George II. Pcndleton of Ohio was minister to Germany before his death ; Mr. Mitchell of Pem.-'yl- vanla retired to private lifo almost blind ; Mr. Camden of West Virginia continued to bo an Important factor In the democratic party until Jio announced a few days ngo that his business Interests and his health would prevent him being a candidate for his old place and Mr. , Spoonerof Wisconsin recently the unMieeiwsful republican candl * date for governor of his state. The state of Now York furnishes the most striking example of the change whuh has some In the value of the sonntorshlp ns a stopping stone. Of the men who Imvo served that state In the scnato In recent years , not ono seems to nave derived anv fu tnro political benefit from his service , whllo their early prcdoeossrs lived to enjoy politi cal prominence for many years aft or the ojc plrntlon of their senatorial terms , ( . "oakling resigned In the hope of being vindicated bva ro-cloetlon , but ho wns dlsnpiuhitcd. llo. then took up the practice of law nnd wa never afterward an active political factor , loin Platt , who resigned with him , has be come a republican Iwss In Now York state , but ho has succeeded in delivering over the state to the democratic party , sj ho con hardly bo classed as a complete success oven In this role. Warner Miller , who followed Mr. Pint I , has attracted attention to himself liv his , work for the Nicaragua canal ; but tills Is ' purely a commercial enterprise. Mr. j uipliam , who succeeded Mr , Coiiklhif , fell 4 Into Irredeemable obscurity , political anil commercial , Immediately after his rctlro- mcnt. The predecessors of the-w men had < iultc a different record. These who were In the scnato during the early days of tlio republic were almost without exception , actively in * tcrested in the development of their state after they had left the senate Philip Sehuylcr , ono of New York's ilrst senators , had to resign because of 111 health but ho remained active In political life until the time of his death. Ills colleague. Uufus KInir , was the candidate of the federalist party against James Monroe for the presi dency ; and later ho was minister to Eng. land. Aaron Burr , who succeeded Schuvlor , became a member of the state assembly after his retirement from the senate mid later was vice president of the United Stalest William North , 0110 of Now York's early senators , was adjutant general of the army white bo was still in the senate. After ho retired from the senate ho , was speaker of the New York assembly and one of the first canal commissioners of Now York state , .lames Watson resigned this Henntor.shlp to become a naval officer and Theo- dortis Bailey to accept the appoint , ment of postmaster of Now York Johri Armstrong was minister to France and to Spain , brigadier general and then secretary' of war. DoWitt Clinton resigned to become mayor of Now York , then lieutenant gov ernor of the state , a candidate for the presi dential nomination , governor and filially ha declined the English mission Obadlah Gcr man became a member of the state ussein- ! - bly , speaker , first Judge of Chenango county nii'llom commissioner. .Martin Van Huron resigned to take the governorship of Now York , became secretary of state , vice presi dent and then president. N. P Tallmadgo resigned to bo governor of Wisconsin terri tory. W. Li. Marey resigned to bo governor of New York , was a member of the Mexican Claims commission , secretary of war under Polk and secretary of state under Plorco. Silas Wright , jr. , his successor , also resigned to ' accept the governorship and afterwards declined ( offers of cabinet positions and for eign missions. Daniel S. Dickinson received the vole of Virginia for the presidency In 18r)2latcr declined a number of proffered posi tions I and finally was district attorney fortfio southern district of Now York until his death. John A. DIx left the senate to be come a candidate for the governorship ; was assistant treasurer and postmaster of New York and then secretary of the treasury under Buchanan ; served with distinction as major general of volunteers during the war ; was naval officer of New York , then minister to Franco and then governor of New York" stato. W. II. Sow.ird becaino Lincoln's neo > rotary of state , and after his retirement' ! from that position made a Journey around I the world and wrote a book about it. K D.tl Morgan became chairman of the National Hallway commission in 18J , governor of NoW York In 1870 and declined the secretaryship ' of the treasury in 1831 , H. K. Funton bo-1 came chairman of the United States com mission at the monetary conference at Paris In 1878 and later was much Interested in projects - ' jects for railroad development. ' It is altogether likely that Mr , Hlscock will follow in the footsteps of his immediate rather than his remote predecessors. There was n great deal that was accidental Ju Mr. Hlscock's election to the soiiatorship , and It is not at all likely that ho will over bo again a political quantity in the state of Now York. Probably the same fate awaits most of these who leave the senate with him on the 4th of next March. AMONG O. A. R. SOCIETIES. Doings Among the Vetornna , Their Sons and the lcllcf Corps.
