"Tho District Fair" Is a me'lodiama with considerable of n sporting flavor , the Incidents all leading up ( o the race scene in the last act. Edwin Harbour , the author. has skillfully Incorporated In the play many features of rural New Englund life , familiar In dramas of a similar character already seen here. The story told In the five acts of the "District Fair" Is an Interesting one , leading up to thrilling situations and excit ing climaxes. Arthur Graylock ( Jeffeison Llojd ) Is Induced by his supposed friend , Jacob Rentzlaw , to wager all his posses sions on the chances of the horse Sunbeam , owned by Rcnt/law. The latter arranges with the Jockey that the horse shall lose Rent/law Is actuated by n deslio to revenge himself on Nellie Fielding. ( Beatrice Ingram ) , Arthur's nlllanced wife , who lias slighted his Bint. Sunbeam loses the race , and ReiiU law then produces a deed for thu Grjyloik firm , signed by Arthur's fa'her. RcnUlaw ebilms the deed was nlpni'd by Arthur , and demands that he be jrrt-ted for forgerj Arthur Fees no way to prove his Innoceiibe , and , accompanied by his umte , he sails for Australia In the fchlp Molly Grnjlock , owntd and commanded. by his fpthcrs old friend , Captain Sailer ( George W. Walters ) Three years laler the two return from Australia , having accumulated vast riches They bring with them also , an Australian turf king named Tempest. llent law still holds the forged deed for the Grajlock farm , hoping that Nellie Fl'-ldlng will consent HI become his wile. He has entered his horse' Sunbeam for the TBCCB at the District Fair. Tempest has also been entered. Rent/law meets Arthur and his uncle , both of whom are in disguise , and Is led to wagei all his wealth and the deed for the Gra > k"-k farm against an equal sum of money put up bv the former. Rentzlaw endeavors to secu-e the sen Ices of Spotty Reagan ( W. W. Craig ) , the joekey , who \\j.i his Innocent tool In working Arthurs ruin. Spotty re fuses his offers , but consents to ride Tempest for Arthui when he learns the object of the latter. Rentzlaw detei mines to save his wagers , and , after locking the doors , seti fire to the blacksmith shop adjoining the Giayloclc farm house , In which Tempest Is waiting Spotty arrives , and , finding the doors locked , secures entrance by thu roof , smashes ono of the doors down , and rides off. In the last act Tempest and Sunbeam meet In the District Fair races , and , after a most exciting race Tempebt wins. the raee. There Is o Jovful re-union. Eveijthlng Is satisfactorily explained , and RenUlaw Is ai- rested for forgery , It b ing proven that he signed the false deed. Vice Is punished and virtue Is triumphant. The comedy parts In the drama are well taj < en by Jessie Mae Hall , as Hoxle Gravlock , whose singing and dancing evoke considerable applause ; Nclll Scully , as Uncle Phil Graylock. and Minnie Hill , as Mary And , Pepper. The company Is evenly balanced , the scenery is all now and is a marvel In stage mechanism. The Pickaninny band has made a hit , The attraction at the Fifteenth Street theater for one week , commencing Sunday , May 6 , with matinee , will bo "A Prisoner for Life , " the greatest biiccess of all sotibational comedy dramas. While abounding in universal Interest It Is replete with pure natural com edy. The representation Is characterized by an Ideal company distinguished for histrionic ability , _ The phenomenal soprano , Ellen Beach Yaw , with her company , will bo heard at Boyd's theater on Thursday evening , May 10. Miss Ellen Beach Yaw has created a furore In the cast by her phenomenal compass. The gr ° at "high C" has always been looked upon as the acme of range , but this vouns debutante sings more than an octave above thl ? . It Is certainly wonderful , and no ono should miss hearing her. But , apart from her compass , the quality and general finish of the voice is declared by the eastern press to bo all that could bo desired. , In a column criticism recently published , the New York Herald says ; "A soprano who can sing high C and sus tain the note well Is supposed to have a good vocal range , but Miss Ellen Beach Yaw of California can sing above high E * * Chribtlne Nilson used to drive her audience Into the seventh heaven of enthusi asm by singing F sharp In Mozart's "Magic Flute. " Miss Yaw sings F sharp without an effort , and sustains the note with the sweet est qtiallly. The highest vocal range of a singer recorded by history was that of Lu- cirzla AJugail. Mozart says that In 1770 he heard this soprano range from A below mid dle C to C above the high C. It was a range of twenty-four notes. AJugarl could execute trills on the high D. This Is noted in the Encyclopedia Britannlca as the only known Instance of the kind. Miss Yaw can sing lower than AJugarl and three notes higher in the upper reglbtcr. "Ono of the most singular things about Miss Yaw's singing , Indeed , the thing that has attracted the most attention , Is that a singer who possesses such a high range should bo able to sing in her lower register with the breadth of a contralto. " In addition to this star attraction the com pany consists of Mr. Max Dick , violinist , and Miss Georgiolbi Lay , pianist. Mr. Max Dick was formerly violin hololst of the Mendelssohn Quintette club and Is a thorough artlbt. Not tba least Interesting is Miss Georglella Lay , in her piano clas sics , giving preliminary "talklet" on each number , explaining the Idea and history of the piece. _ M. B. Leavltt's new grand spectacular production , "Spider and Fly , " will bo the bill at Boyd's theater this afternoon and night , April 29.

CAREER OF THE ORDER IN AMERICA SI lilt i r- spirit Aninii'i Its Member * mill \\tiut It HIM Aehluveit on lloth Slilct of the Oienii V Totter for l.llierl ) . Mr. W. J. McCrann , Plate medical exami ner for the Ancient Order of Hibernian ! ! , which nolds Its national convention In Omnlm next week , In speaking of the character of the order snjs : If date nnd numerical strength are taken under conslderat'on the Ancient Order of Hibernians , known for Its charity and be nevolence , may claim first place among the Irlm organization ! * of America. Like nlmost everything Irish It orlRlmlcd In Ireland nnd managed to cross the Atlantic In the uirly part of the present century , and began sowing the seeds of friendship and unity among her exiled children In America , where they nourished and prospered exceed ingly well. It Is only when they review the disastrous davs of thj ' 10's In Ireland , when famine and pestilence were rampant , that Irishmen can appreciate the full necessity of such nn organl/atlon for the material bene fits It b = sto\\cd on Its members In their darkest and loneliest houra aa strangers In our land. New York state was first to organize , which was followed by Mabsachusctts , Penn sylvania , Illinois , Ohio and Connecticut. For a long period of time Its growth \uu confined to the eastern ( .onboard , but finally It took up Its march throughout the country nnd today It Is represented In every state nnd territory and by over EOO counties from Maine to California , from Minnesota to Texis Notwithstanding ths fact that ltn membership conMsts of Irishmen and th'-lr descendants and that Its alms and objeels arc charity nnd benevolence , It encountered much opposition at the start from many who should have b ° en Its staunchcst friends This antagonism was owing. In almost every case , to n misconception of the principles and alma of the society. However , the opposition was met by the able men who had the organization In hand , and soon every obstacle was overcome and the society planted on a firm basis which 1ms been the means of Its membership Increasing to the now flattering number of several hun dred thousand , which Is bevond the expecta tions of our most sanguine ofllccrs. It Is now an acknowledged power for good throughout the world , not alone for the material benefits It extends to Its mem bers at the bedside or when In distress , but the undeniable suppoit It has given to every worthy cause appertaining to Ireland and Irish nationality , and much of the Irish national progress may be attributed to the unity and harmonious disposition of the Hlbeinlans , for they uro ever ready to strike a blow at English supremacy In Ireland , but not with such wcapons as England would be glad to sec In their hands. Knowing our inability to meet iicr with one-fifth the physi cal strength she can produce we have long slnco resorted to other means. Our Intel lectual forces were made manifest by Glad stone In his masterly appeal for home rule In 1S8C , and his btlll grander and successful piloting of the home rule bill through Par liament with loyalty and wealthy influences antagonizing him in 1S93. This soclely was not long In discerning the fact that many In Its ranks possessed all the essential qualifications which go to form the Ideal soldier and that there e\lstcd a general desire to acquire a knowledge of military tactics and discipline , for deep down in the hearts of Irishmen and their descendants burns a keen love for the mili tary art , which gave to the proud sons of the Gael In ancient times the pox.or to make Danish hordes , Honian legions and Anglo-Saxon pirates flee before Erin's flag And In our own times , we find on the battle fields of Europe and at home that same valor of the Irish soldier which has not been sur passed by men of any race In any age. Many of our military companies have sue ? ceeded In giving its members a thorough knowledge of military tactics and discipline and today their companies form a great fac tor In the Irish-American Military Union of the United States , an organization composed of Irishmen and men of Irish descent. This society will open Its national conven tion on May 8 , with a national and state pa rade May 9 , In Omaha. This will be the first national convention of the order In the west since 18SC , when It was held In St. Paul. It was a great fight nt the national convention In New Orleans with our neighboring cities Detroit , Kansas City and others for the honor , but owing to the clever and intellectual arguments of our distinguished citizen , John Hush , who painted so highly the hospitality of Omaha cltlrens , with her numerous attractions , we were the favored ones. The commltteemen are not sparing cither money , time or labor to confirm the above opinion and expect to send their visitors back to their homes sounding the praises of Nebraska's great metropolis , Omaha.

J Murphy , street commissioner of St. Louis , asking his opinion as to the advliability of calling a national convention of members of boards of public works of the vnr'oils cities of the country. Chairman Wlnspear of the Hoard of Public Works has expressed.his endorsement of the Idea. He Is of the opinion that much good would result from the Interchange of 'dcas ' nnd the dissemination of knowledge possessed by Ilio representatives of the older cities , ns well as of positive Informitlon touching experimental work In all the cities He calls attention to the fact that the Inspectors specters of buildings and chiefs of fire and police have their national orRanlzntlons , and that the largo attendance nt their annual conventions Is Indicative of good results. Ho thinks Hint an organization of the members of boards of public works promises more In the way of beneficial returns than a conven tion of tlio representatives of any other branch of municipal service.
