Dr. Oilman Curr has , since the premiere

merrier methods which he displayed w
such success In "In Town , " "Moro

an
ment which Miss Hall with her opera i
pany will present on this visit la the
operatic comedy entitled "Dorcas , " w
was written especially for her by H
bo Paulton , author of such famous con
works as the libretto ot the opera '
mine , " "Nlobe. " etc.
I In writing this delightful work Mr. I

' " German source. The Idea alone Is the
thing borrowed , otherwise" for Its comph
he has rel.ed solely upon his own brll
. Imaginings.
10 ' "Dorcas , " which Is In three acts , is
ecrlbid as being something novel In

ind Not content with her own great pei
the allty and her undoubted drawing power.
Hall has surrounded herstlf , at her iup
li Ing company , with a decidedly artistic
lowing , In the persons of such well ki
people as-
J auette St. Henry , formerly prlma d
of the De Wolf Hopper Opera company ; Kal
Davis , whose character creations have mail
her name famous and whose work In sue
roles with Mlta Helyctt company placed he

Marie Wellcsley , starring In the nt
comedy-drama , "On the Suwance River
one of this season's new plays , will be t !
attraction at the Fifteenth Street theater f
the week of November 18 , commencing wl
matinee today. "On the Suwance River" h
been accorded by the press and public to
by odds one ot the strongest attractions
the road this season. It abounds In stro ;
contrasts. There Is plenty of Incident , qulc
ness of movement , and so much of the c
time healthy morality that It comes to us
a welcome relief from the play reflective
hothouse passion , of frail Magdalencs a
still frailer male types ot the same dcgem
ate class , with which the stage of today
surfeited through the vlclousness of a i
oraved taste.
The thread of sentiment which runs throu
the play Is one that touches the heart
Its Bweetncss and simplicity , while the p
In the machinations of the vllllan , In t
person of the miser , does nothing but furnl
an Interesting motive. The characters stu
true to life , with no attempt at exaggerate
the homely types of the class that are fi
disappearing before the onward march
which Henry W. Grady magnificently told
when he drew his graphic picture of "T
New South. " The comedy Is of a fresh a
wholesome kind that wins approval by t
force of Its qualntness and Its throrou
originality. There Is no straining after
fects , but scene follows scene with admiral
sequence , making a most perfect cnsemb
and herein Is the chief strength ot t
drama of contemporary life.

In short he has woven Into a conned
whole a dramatic gem , with devotion , li

backgrounded with exciting Incidents. C
of the most amusing features of the p
formances Is the pickaninny band , the i
tics and gambols of Its members before tl
drift Into horn blowing being a very fun
picture.
Marie Wellesley , the leading light of t
excellent play , has such a role In Jen
Dalton , a southern rose , that the piece ir
easily be said to be written for her. 1
volatile nature , charming simplicity e
warm personality lend to the character
coloring that mokes It strikingly effectl

"A Summer Blizzard" Is announced as i
attraction for Thanksgiving week at the I

but little mention , as It Is thoroughly v
known as being without superior as a fa
comedy attraction. The company Is compo
of thirty-one talented and competent artl
and Is the largest company of Us class on
road.
The engagement of Henderson's Amerii
Extravaganza company In this city is alwi
an event of much Importance In local thea

announcement that General Booth , tl
founder and leader of the Salvation army , wl
be In Omaha two weeks from today , lie wl

General Booth Is now for the second tlir
visiting the United States. Ills llrst vis
was about nine years ago , when the cond
tlon of the army was very different fro ;
that In which ho finds It today under the efl
clent direction of his son and daughtcr-li
law , Commander and Mrs. Balllngton Hoot
William Ilooth Is now nearly CO years <
age , having been borne In Nuttinghaii
Bug. , April 10 , 1829. Ills early cducattc
was In a private school In the city In whit
ho lived. At that time the unlversltli
were closed against nonconformists , and 1
did not graduate at any of the coliegi
patronized by dissenters. In 1850 he b
came a minister of the denomination know
as Methodist New Connection. Early
hla carrer he manifested a preference fi
evangelistic work , and when. In 1SG1 , II
conference required him to settle as a pa
tor , he resigned from the denomination ai
became an evange.lst. llefore this he hi
married the remarkable woman who afte
% yard distinguished herself as the "Moth
of the Army. " Ily an eminent theologli
of the Olmrch of England she was calli
one of the three greatest preachers In En
land , the other two being Mr. Spurgeon ai
Canon Llddon. After becoming an eva
gellst he preached In the south of Englan
and to vast throngs among the poor In Lo
don to such crowds as gathered to he
Wesley and Whltefield about a century at
In 1SC5 he founded "Tho Christian Mission
to which In 1878 was given the nnme "T
Salvation army. "
The fiftieth anniversary of General Iloo
as a Christian worker was recently observ
In London by an Imposing celebration
the Crystal palace. The special object whl
brings him to this country Is to Inspect t
work of the army , and to take part In t
dedication of Its headquarters in New Yor
which event will probably occur early
February. In the meantime he will tra >
over a large part of the country , visiting i
points where the army has considerable go
rlsons.
HIS RECEPTION IN AMERICA.
On arriving In New York a reception w
tendered him largely attended by the Chr
tlan people of the metropolis. At that tli
an address of welcome from various mlnlstt
In New York was presented to him. T
address welcomed General Uooth to the
shores ; expressed appreciation of his gr (
work ; congratulated him that his life h
been spared to lead this forward movemei
and closed with an earnest hope that 1
visit might result In a spiritual qulckenl
both of the army and for all the church
and be the means of binding more closi
together his nation and our own. It Is s :
to say that fully four-fifths of the Protects
ministry In Now York were Informally , t
not less truly , represented In this address.
The general has visited Brooklyn , Phi
dolphin , Plttshurg , Cleveland and other clt
where similar welcome regardless of denon
nation was tendered. It Is expected that 1
presence In Omaha will be greeted by t
same cordiality often manifested town
pubprdlnate Salvation Army leaders , and tl
the people of the'cltyu-\vlll again testify'th
esteem for the unique and powerful ager
Tor the bettering of mankind , which the wo
honors General Booth for organizing w
such skill and directing with such clllclcn

WEIRD MOUNTAIN SOENEBY.
Strange Arizona ItcKiunn Which A-e Feared
anil MiunntMl by Indian * .
While all travelers are aware of the fact
that there are mountains of stupendous magni
tude In the west , their grandest conception ,
oven though they may have spent season
after season In the cummer resorts , will not
approach the reality as it Is found In the
bypatlu away from the haunts of man , says
the St. Louis Republic. There are ranges
so mysterious and wlerd In conformation and
general contour as to be a perpetual taboo
against Indians , and where a white man
could peacefully live out all his days , even
were he surrounded by the most warlike o (
the tribes. Take the Mogolnnes range , away
southwest In Arizona. It Is a drear arid
dead territory , BO far away from ordinary
lines of travel that Its name Is rarely heard ,
even In that country. That range of moun
tains Is the home of tribes of men who have *
never to this day set eyes on a white man.
U Is posseted of a myiterlousnesa that
charms th white man who wanders ( hat
far away , yet It seems bewitched , and the
lone traveler through Its valleys sees strange
sights and hears strange found * , as It ha
was In the presenceof disembodied spirit *
of those who had the temerity to explore
this region b fore him.
The Mount of the Holy Cross has been Im
mortalized by Moran , and thousands ot humid
eyi'H have gazed upon that Christian symbol
erected In the clouda by God'n own hand ,
There are other and grander mounts of the
holy cross , even more- perfect than that o
frequently pictured , They lie deep In the
heart of the rocky range with other wondrous
possibilities that await the future explorer ot
that vast unknown region of northern Idaho
end Wyoming , There are to be found
strange rock formations similar to these
across the water In Flngall'H causeway , which
are both duplicated a thousandfold In th
majestic basaltic formations of IdaU .
