Chief of Police Beckett went to Lincoln
yesterday to arrest Andrew J. Young on a
warrant alleging petty larceny. Ho found
his man , but , inasmuch as Young gave
over the dresses and bonnet which
his wife claims ho was not placed under
arrest. Young says that ho bought and paid
for the clothes with his own money , but ad
mitted that ho was foolish to tnko them
away , ns they were of no value to him.
Young is employed us fireman by the City
Street Railway company in Lincoln.
Suppo's ever popular opera , "Fntinitza , "
which has been in the repertoire of al most
every English opera company for almost a
generation , was presented very crcditnb
last evening at the F.irnam by the Caihoun
Opera company.
Notwithstanding that Miss Carrie Godfrey
and Mr. Henry Looni were missed from the
cast , their substitutes. Miss Julia Caihoun
( Fatinitza ) , and Mr. Charles Huntington -
ington ( Izzet Pasha ) , acquitted them
selves most acceptably. Mr. Huntington -
ton is a recent acquisition and
after the nervousness of the llrst few per
formances wear off promises to prove n good
"ilnd. " Miss Laura Millard as the Princess
Lydia sang the role with credit to herself as
well as the organisation of which she is
the loading light. Mr. Martin Pacho as
the war correspondent Jullnn Hurdy , burring
n certain stiffness and nn accent decidedly
unamcrican , gave an acceptable impersona
tion of the journalist who know the strength
of intrigues to make a readable column , us
wo'.l as the importance of the most reliable
news from the scat of war.
Mr. Caihoun as Mustiphn , the keeper of
the harem , was quietly humorous , doing the
llttlo that Is entrusted to the character ,
with judicious exactness. The chorus sang
the concerted numbers yvith easy swing and
suniclent volume to balance the orchestra.

Pennoll's appearance in 4 the role of Count
