Receivers Mink and Anderson , General
Manager K. Dickinson , Freight Trafllc Man-
ogcr Munroo , Chlct Engineer I'cgram of the
Union Pacific and several stenographers ar
rived this morning by special train from
Grand Inland , cnr.outo from Hillings and the
Dound country.
Mr. Oliver W. Mink , vtCo president and
comptroller ot the system , and one of the
receivers for the property , In talking ot the
trip of the receivers and officials of the com
pany made over tlio system , Bald : "Our
first stop was made at Denver , where wo
Iield a conference with Receiver Trumbull
Upon matters of detail relative to the con
duct of the two properties , and particularly
as to the basis of compensation to be paid
for work done In the shops for the Denver ,
licadVIIlo & Qumllson , and the Union 1'acinc ,
Denver & Gulf/ . After going over the whole
Bltuatlon nn finally agreed to continue to
operate the shops at Denver , charging rates
Satisfactory to both parties In Intorest. Thla
arrangement will prevent any Increase In Ine
Cheyenne shops at present , because the busl
ntKti ot the road will not warrant any ad
ditional expense , our present forces being
entirely able to do the necessary repairs as
r they may bo required about the ttystcm.
"Prom Denver wo went to Salt Lake , rela
tive to matters entrusted to us by Mr. Clark ,
and from there over the Oregon Short Line ,
inspecting the betlermcnts which are
bolng made under the direction
ot Mr. I'cgram , In the way of putting In
now bridges , which Improvements will cost
up ward's of $300,000 , but .which ore abso
lutely necessary for the property. Having
finished this branch ot our allotment work
we went on to Spokane over the Oregon Hall
way & Navigation company line , a property
in which Mr. A. A. UoUsevaln represents
largo holdings , and who with his party
joined us In Denver. Next to the holdings ol
the Ames and Gould families In Union Pa
cific securities , Mr. Loissevaln represents
the holdings in England and Germany , one
naturally we were anxious that ho should
sco the Oregon Short Line and Oregon Hall
way & Navigation company. It was Mr
Uolssevaln's first trip pver these properties
although he has had his representatives over
them a number of times.
CONFERENCE WITH M'NBILL.
"At Spokane- Falls we had a conference
with the new receiver ot the union depot
property , which Is Included in the foreclosure
procedlngs , and from there we went to Port
land to BED Mr. McNetll , receiver of the Navi
gation company. Our conference with him
was long , but after several days' session ve
' finally agreed upon a division ot passenger
rates from Huntlnglon west , which wo are
to pay to the Navigation company , and which
basis of 27 > ,4 per cent Is a compromise be
tween the demands of the Navigation com
pany and the blanket proportion the Union
_ Pacific would agree to. This proportion only
applies to certain parts of tlio business , the
general division being greatly In
volved , too much KO for a clear
and Intelligent underslandlng by the
readers of newspapers. The freight divisions
wo agreed to some , time ago , so with the
Settlement of our differences on passenger
traffic , It removed 'from the field of contro
versy all annoyances of every sort , and Hie
receivers were in a position to shako hands
with themselves that their mission to the
northwest had bee.ii accomplished.
- "From Portland wo went via the Northern
Pacific to Seattle , cast over the Great North
ern to Spokane , thence over the Northern
Pacific to Uutto and Anaconda , to Hillings
and Sheridan , via the new Burlington line ,
that we might form some estimate of the
property of n competitor , and down to Grand
Island , where wo struck our own road , and
then to Omaha. Mr. Ilolssevaln'and his
party left us at Portland for San Francisco ,
and I bcllcvo was very much Impressed with
the great possibilities of the country , and
particularly of the properties In which he Is
BO largely Interested , as the representative
of large holders In Holland and the conti
nent , placed through the banks in London
and Amsterdam.
"To mo the Irlp was most interesting , and
most Instructive. Wo found the property In
first class condition. In fact It has never been
In so excellent sliapo , and we only need busi
ness t oput us beyond worry Incidental to the
management of BO great a trust. Our earn
ings , however , do not show up as wo would
llko to have thorn , and an the business of
the road Is about all over for this season , wo
must bo content to run very close to the
wind for the next few months.
wo have not thought of any
further reductions in the departments ,
lor we have about reached thi normal , the
„ operation of a system the elze of Union
Pacific necessitating Just BO many employes
whether there is much or little business.
Of coure ? . train crews will bo laid oft as
they are not needed , but beyond this the
receivers have not discussed further reduc
tion In the forces.
"From my observation I should say that
the buslnss situation has brightened con
siderably west of Denver , but east through
Kansas and Nebraska I still nnd a dcpres-
1 Blon , due- largely to the failure of crops.
Hod the states mentioned b n favored with
an abundance of grain and corn , this , I
am confident , would have been cnc of the
greatest years In the history of the Union
I'aclflc. "
AS TO FOIlECLOSUnB SUITS.
Asked If ha thought the numerous foreclosure -
, closure suits would be pushed to their legiti
mate end , Mr. Mink said : "I do not believe
> it Is the Intention of the complainants and
plaintiffs in these cases to force anyone
to the wall. The general feeling seems tc
, be that tha suits were brought to protect
certain Interests and to permit ths control
ot revenues under receivers , rather than
allow the revenues to go Into channels
_ other than Ihose represented by the mort-
i. gage holders. With receivers favorable tc
the Interests seeking protection I believe lhal
the foreclosure .cases will nol operate as i
bar lo the legitimate handling ot the proper
ties. "
Upon the Question of reorganization Mr
Mink expressed himself as favorable Ic
some such scheme as outlined by- the govern
ment receivers. "I do not understand thai
the government directors are pledged to tin
several allotments mad ? , but they were ad
vanccd only to develop the reorganlzatlor
feature of their report and show by actua
figures now some such scheme could be
brought about , The allotment of the gov
ernment security Is a very generous one li
my opinion , Icing something like $70,000-
000 , or dollar for dollar. This amount undei
the plan proposed , would become part ot the
blanket mortgage proposed lo be placed 01
the entire property , and become a share
holder ot the first mortgage Instead of hold
' inc Us lien nature or second mortgagi
function , as under existing conditions. Will
the government debt settled and out of thi
vray I have no doubt but that the other in
trresls could harmonize quite readily. O
courao there would bo come heart burning :
probably , that In the allotment of cert all
funds tlio tcale was not properly proper
Honed , bul even these could be handled wllb
out much diniculty. There are certain gilt
edge securities like the sinking funds , th
Omaha bridge bands and others , whlcl
would have to be carefully considered , but
anticipate everybody could agree as to hi
position In the blanket mortgage. It tlicr
was only some one who could speak authorl
'tatlvely for the government , I believe ou
pathway vrouM bo clear toward re-organlza
tlon. The rc-organlzatlon committee mua
lukfl into consideration the government deb
first , and after a conclusion ban been reachei
as to what would be a fair valuation ot Ib
second mortgage which It holds In certal
branches ot the Union Pacific , then th
first trip over these properties , although h
other security holders can meet upo
* common ground for the lettlc
meat ot their Interest. Whether th
* reorganization comities will preset !
R plan 10 the congress shortly to convene
ma not Informed , but we can only hope tha
.ho scheme ns proposed by Mr. Anderson fcnd
Ills associates , wilt meet with consideration ,
rhe fact that they went so far nn to put In
ill the allotments , Including the Oregon Hallway -
way ft Navigation company , shows how nln-
: erely they regard a united property. As to
tlio Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf , that could
como In or not , as the best Interests seemed
to demand , "
Mr. FJhk and Mr1. Anderson wont east last
night , Mr. Anderson to return In the spring.
as he says , for the purpose of looking over
the properly , , nnd incidentally to attempt

Supposed Vlctlnn of Htrln < llcr Holmes ,
'Iliclr Career nnd ( .linrnctrrUUr * .
NCW OULEAN3 , Nov. 21. Minnie H. Wil
liams and Nannie Wlllams , connected with
the career ot Holmes , the Insurance swindler ,
were nieces of ilev. Dr. C. W. Illack of this
city , who Is editor of the Methodist Christian
Advocate. Their father was killed In a rail
road wreck , and their mother died soon after
wards. This was In 1872 , and the younger
sister , Nanlc , was but 1 year old. Their parents
died poor. The younger girl remained in
Mississippi with an aunt , and the other girl
went to Dallas to live with her
uncle , Dr. Williams , who adopted her and
educated her In the schools of that place.
In 188G Mlnnlo was sent to the conservatory
of elocution In Boston , where she was
graduated after a three years' course.
In the meantime her uncle died , leaving
her his property in Fort Worth , valued at
$20.000.
Coming back from Boston Minnie met her
sister In Mississippi and the two went to the
home ot their uncle , Dr. C. W. IJlack. In
Jackson , Miss. , where they wcro together
for the first time since they wcro Infants.
This was In 1889. They visited Dr. Black
for some time , returning to Texas together.
Before this Minnie had gone to Boston to
take a post-graduato course In the New
KiiRland conservatory of elocution.
She finished this course In 1890 and went to
Denver , where she remained for some tlmo
teaching elocution. When she visited her
uncle , Dr. Black , In Jackson In 1S90 she had
a picture ot a young man she had met In Bos
ton , whose name was Harry Gordon. She
spoke of him as ' 'Harry" and said that she
was very much smitten , as ho was handsome
and wealthy.
In March , 1893 , the elder girl went to Chi
cago. The dispatches have related that she
was a typewriter , but Dr. Black said he
doubted the truth of that , as she was a fine
elocutionist and was devoted to her art , giv
ing her attention to nothing else.
Soon after going to Chicago she wrote to her
sister , tolling her about "Harry" Gordon , and
saying she was going to marry him. Soon
after receiving this letter another came , stat
ing that they had been married and Inviting
Nannie to com& to Chicago , where they would
take In the World's fair. The sister In Texas
left for Chicago the last of June , soon after
the school closed in Midlothian , Tex.

Forgot uii Important Point.
The member of Parliament for one of the
nest Important southern divisions , says Mod-
rn Society , Is possessed of a magnlflcenl
aid head. He was in n shaving saloon the
thur day getting shaved. When he had fin
shed the barber remarked : "I've got a splen-
"Id new hair restorer here. Will you let mt
ry It on your head. " The M. P. assented , \vltli
n observation that showed that he had pro-
lous experience in the matter : "All right
don't think you can do me any harm. '
Thereupon the barber , with a great flourish
.ook a bottle from the stand , nnd with mucl
icremony began to rub his customer's bond
\ftor ho had been rubbing some tlmc he
topped suddenly , and seamed greatly agl
ated. Turning to his customer , ho said , It
a most flustered manner : "You must excnsi
mo sir , but I really forgot how high yoi
wanted your forehead. "

NEBRASKA'S MANUFACTURES
Eastern Hour Men Planning to Oloso Down
Their Mills ,
OMAHA OVERRUN WITH NORTHERN FLOUR
Homo Patronage Sentiment Wanting Among
tlio Consumers of I'lour Ncbruska Mnnti.
fncturora Invited tn Jain In rorinliiR a
Kntlonnl Muiiufucturora' I.ongue.
During the past week there has been a
great deal ot talk among northctn millers
about closing down their mills In order lo
curtail the output ot Hour , and thus try to
advance the price. The first action was taken
at a meeting in Chicago , which waa attended
by a number of the leading millers of the
country ,
The committee was unanimous in agreeing
that the prlco of flour Was below a profit
yielding point , and that some concerted ac
tion by the trade waa necessary to bring up
the prlco to a profit point. The 'reduction of
stocks was regarded as the- best method
tending to arv increase In the price. An
agreement was then formed to shut down
mills for six weeks within three months , be
ginning December 10 , it the requisite num
ber ot signers to the agreement could be se
cured.
Thla action was followed by the closing
down of a number of the leading mills ui
St. Louis.
Inquiry among local flour men Indicates
that the mills In Nebraska will pay no at
tention to the action taken by other mills ,
but will continue- grind away as long as
there Is a market for their output. Mr.
Dlack of S. F. Oilman & Co. said that the
milling business was In the dumps owing to
Iho fact that the cheap wheat from Hie Ar
gentine Republic and India has cut off much
ot the export trade. This has limited the
sale of American flour largely lo the homo
trade , ani\ mills .that formerly produced
flour almost exclusively for export uro now
striving for the home trade. Minneapolis
mills have been selling In Omaha tor the
pasl thirty days flour below cost of pro
duction.
MARKET IN BAD SHAPE.
It has not been a question ot price , but a
question of getting trade regardless of price.
This lias placed the market in very bad
shape. Nebraska mills have met the cut , In
fact , they had lo or go out of business.
The Omaha Milling company said that
they were running full time , but that the
competition from the north had been very
severe owing to the great strife among Iho
giant millers of Minneapolis to hold , or
rather recover , the trade ot this market.
Afc the time The Dee took up the home
patronage question In 1891 lucre- was very III-
lle flour sold In Omaha that was made with
in the state. The Omaha Milling company
and S. F. Gllman wcro about the only Ne
braska flour manufacturers who had a trade
In the city , or could get any foothold beie.
Everyone had formed the habit ot using
flour from outside the state , and it mattered
little where It came from , so long as It
was not made In thestate. . Not only did
the northern mills have a good trade In
Omaha , but Kansas and Missouri mills were
doing almost as much. Hundreds of thou
sands ot dollars were sent out ot tne state
for flour alone.
After The IJee had pointed out the folly
of starving out home millers for the benefit
of outsiders there came a change , fon-
sumers commenced to call for Nebraska flour
and retail dealers were comptllo.l to put In
Blocks. At first a good many dealers fought
against It , and not a' few put In the poorest
grade of Nebraska flour that they could
gst , and Irlctl lo make consumers sick , of
It In thai way , but eventually Ihey were
forced to give in and NebrasKa flcur was
used very generally and gave good sallifac-
llon. The Irade in home flour has increased
so much that mills at Crst ? , Wilbur , HasU-
ings and other points , In addition lo those al
ready established , opened agencies here fur
the sale of their product. The money , In
stead of going to illnivjanj'ls ' , St. Joseph
and other rival cities , elficr staid In Omaha
or went out to some N&iraslu point , from
which It would soon flnd Its w.iy back In ex
change for goods from the msnufa.uicr3 | br
Jobbers.
JOBBERS AID THE NORTHERN MILLERS
Of late there has bfsn a decided chanfcp
In the situation. The large Minneapolis mills
have made a strong onslaught along the
line and have gone In with tha firm Cttcrml-
nallon , apparently , to recover in ? tr.ide of
this section or ruin ihq business tntlrily. II
they simply cut prices there would not t
so much advantage on their side , as Nebraska
millers know how to meet that kind of com
petition by a corresponding cut. This they
have already done. Northern millers , how
ever , have another way of getting at the
trade that Is even more- effective than cut
ting prices. They enlist the large jobbing
houses on their side , and ns they are car
rying a great majority at the smaller re-
tall grocery houses , thfy are able In control
a largo share of Ihe trade. They go to a
grocer who Is owing t'icni and tell htm
that they ore going to pul In 33 much tloui
and they put It In. Jn this way the grortrj
houses ot Omaha have recently bjcn r.lleil
full of northern flour. In order to get rid
ot this flour the retail dealer la forced tc
put 41 off onlo every oustomor who does r.ol
register an objection. This tiny are dslns
now , and at the prcssnt rate Nebrasl.ii
flour will EOOII bo almost an unknown com.
modity on the market.
"Does It not seem strange , " said ono. busi
ness man , "that our retail grosars will ssni
all the money that they cun set from. tiiHi
customers out of the atato and help to.bulk
up other cities , and then cimplaln about tin
unfortunate- conditions ptovulllng In ilifli
own Blale ? People In Omaha will buy Min
neapolis flcur and other products and thai
wonder why Minneapolis clearings iu.1 t
much ahead of Omaha's , and w.iy taere I :
fco much complaint among Onuiha labcrlrt
men about the scarcity of work. '
"It The Doe will call the attention cf cor.
Burners to the subjccl It will be > all tight , '
bald another. "Omaha coinunvj's moan wel
enough , but the Jobbers Imlldnte : he retal
dealers , and Iho retailers hoodwink the con
sinners , and the result Is that tlio north ) r ;
mills have been ableto capture a larga pro
portion of Ihe Irade. "
CINCINNATI INVITES NEBRASKA.
Secrelary Holmes ot Ihe Manufacturers an

so the- invitation stales , U for the purvos
of a general Interchange uf views Ijokln ;
toward the formation of a national assocla
tlon of manufacturers. The tbjects ID b
gained by such an association are given a
follows :
Flrsl The advocacy of carefully cnivsld
ered legislation , to encourage * mauuticturln
10 industries of all classes throughout thu coun
try.
Second The discussion of ways : and mean
Whereby trade relations between the Unltei

States and foreign countries may b ; developed
t-
tir oped and extended.
ire Third The establishment In South Ainer
> e lean capitals , and other desira'jle- points , c
permanent exposition * for the dlrplay c
American products.
Fourth Such other topics as may 1)
agreed upon by the convention.
The Invitation extended Is without limit ate
to the number of attendants , nnd Is oxtende
not only to accredited delegates from erg an
Izcd exchanges , presenting ntanutactutin
Interests , but to nny individual manufacture
; r who may have the promotion if-lho generi
good by organized effort sufficiently at r > cui
to be willing to meet with tlio convention.
What action thq Manufacturers asaoclatlo
of Nebraska will take tn relation to the Invl
tatlon cannot be elated , as the subject wl
not come up for consideration until the nei
meeting ot the executive committee. Piei
dent Page Is at present out of the city , anne
no meeting will b called until Ms return.
The object ot the national association I
entirely different from that ot the Ne-brask
association , but at the same time the Ni
braaka manufacturers will ba Interested i
same of the propositions presented by th
Cincinnati association.

coax OF A EATOLESHIP.
ir-M
t'n n I'ot of Money , but , Itotiosllj'Kipontlod
U a Oooil tuw Minrnt.
In looking over -appropriations for
the support ot the government for a fiscal
year , says the New YorJ < . Sun , probably no
Item will bo found thtrqln which specifies
BO much money to bctiQxnended for so lim
ited an object as ona , similar to the follow
ing : j
"The president ls Hereby authorized to
have constructed by contract ono sca-golng ,
coastline battleship , designed to carry the
heaviest armor and most powerful ordnance ,
at a cost , exclusive of armament and ot any
premium that may be paid for Increased
speed , not exceeding $4,000,000.
At the first glance It scarcely seems pos-
Blble that a single ship , that can bo tossed
around at will by the billows of the ocean , or
be destroyed completely In a few hours If
cast upon a Ice shore , could cost such an
enormous amount ot money. Four "million
dollars would build a magnificent fleet of
forty full-rigged ships , each capable ot car-
carrying 2,000 tons of cargo to any port In the
world. It would buy every ferryboat plying
between New York , Brooklyn and Jersey
City. It would be sufficient to establish a
line ot sixteen good-sized steamships , such
as run from New York ( o Jacksonville , Fla. ,
and other domestic potts. A fleet of fifty
such crack yachts as the Vigilant could be
built and fitted up In elegant style for the
price paid for just one battleship.
If we make our comparisons with objects
on shore more astonishing facts can be
gleaned. Take , for Instance , dwelling
houses ; a peed three-story brick house , oc
cupying a lot 25 feet by 10i > In an ordinary
city , would be worth on an average aboul
$10,000. Four million dollars would build
00 houses of that class , and If these houses
rcro placed In one row , after making due
llowance for streets and sidewalks , wo would
ave nearly two miles of dwellings. There
ra not many towns ot 10,000 Inhabitants
i'liere the entire taxable property Is assessed
or $4,000,000. An average mechanic' , tn
; oed times , will earn about $600 a year ; the
noney paid for one battleship by the
; overnmcnt would thus support nearly
,000 families , or a city ot 35,000 Inlmb
tants for a whole year.
It will naturally bo asked , attor reading the
bovo statement , how Is It possible to ex
end this great sum for 1'iat one ship ? A
Islt to a large shipbuilding establishment
fhero such vessels are constructed will dls-
lese the fact that the principal Item of ex-
enso must bo the labor. Walk thrdugh
he draughting room , the pattern shop , the
machine shop , the boiler shop , and out on the
essol herself , and everywhere you will flnd
men working away hour by hour , all for the
no ship. It we should count them wo would
nd that there are nearly 800 employed on
no part or another of this. $4,000,000 vessel ,
tenth after month they work , and probably
t the end of four years' time their task wir
10 completed. l
However , the men we1 flnd about the yard
re not the only ones \vlio are employed In
he construction of the battleship. In dlf-
erent parts ot the country many others are
vorklng In the mines'tie-blast furnaces and
'oiling ' mills to produce : > thc material for the
nen In the yard to work upon. Altogether
t is tofe to say that a thousand men aie con-
itantly employed for a'perlod of four years In
he construction of onct of these leviathans of
: hcsea. . t u
Probably no other creation ot man brings
nto employment a greattr variety of artl-
aii3 than the construptio.il ot a warship. I :
, vo glance over the pay-roll of a large ship

Ono of tha most expensive parts of tin
whole ship is. the armor for the turrets am
belts around the sides. The contract prlc
or tills material varies between $5,000-and
$ C,000 a ton , delivered In _ the shipyard. Thi
does not Include the cost of placing th
plates on the vessel , which amounts to a
considerable sum. Some ot the plates wclgl
twenty-five tons and ore worth nearly
$14,000 apiece. It Is probable that when th
guns and equipment are supplied and the
premiums paid for increased speed , the cost
of ono ot these battle ships will reach a
rand total ot nearly $5,000,000.
While the guardians' ' of our coast may
jeem to bo expensive precautions In times
of peace , their cost cannot be compared
with their value in times of war , or as a
moral Influence In settling- knotty diplomatic
questions. Ten such ships at a cost ot
$3,000,000 , only one-third of what we spend
annually for pensions , will protect all of our
principal seaports from an Invading foe , and
save property thp value' of whlfh would be
difficult to calculate. Besides the lives of
thousands ot our citizens.
Taking everything Into consideration , there
are but few moro worthy means of spending
$4.000,000 or $5,000,000 of the people's money
than in building a battleship to help protect
our citizens' lives and property.
THIS SNAKE ATE OXEN.
An Enormous Python Captured Kocently In
South Africa.
The colony ot Natal , South Africa , abounds
In boa-constrictors and pythons , says the Lon
don News. NVhlle they do not attack men ,
they are especially destructive to cattle ,
sheep ami oxen , and for this reason parties
are formed by hunters and natives to .burn
the bush and forest in order to exterminate
the pests.
Some of the soldiers at Pletermarltzburg
were recently Informed by a party of neigh
boring Zulus of the whereabouts of a huge
python that had been destroying their oxen.
The soldiers , with 200 natives , started off to
capture the snake , and , having located It ,
the forest was fired for about a mile round
about , an enormous pit having been pre
viously dug in toward the center ot the In
closed space. What with the burning brush
and the shouts of the excited Kaffirs they
soon drove the reptile toward the pit , where ,
closing in upon him , they forced him into It.
The python proved to bo of enormous size ,
being Ihlrty-two feet Jong and forty-one
Inches In circumference. It appeared to be
quite dazed , having just eaten a young ox
that had been lot Into the Inclosurc.
An enormous cage , \vlth Iron bars halt
way down the front , havffg | been constructed ,
the snake was got oufof the pit and taken
Into Marltzburg In tho'11cage. Here It Is
kept on exhibition at tlicJjarrqcks , and Is fed
twice a week , two Kafflr.eaats at each meal.
It will not eat aiiytmnjr that has already
been killed for U , preferring to kill Us food
Itself. The goats are Vl/nlH through a small
door at the end of the OartJ allve , when , fixing
Us great eyes upon them , the snake sud
denly lunges forward jand , crushes them in
Its powerful fold. After covering them with
a thick sllmo about 'ttir Inch deep , before
swallowing them It flattens them out by
squeezing them , and ( hetti devours them al
most at a gulp. Afters | the python goes
to sleep , and does not wako up until U Is
time to feed again.
A gentleman In Marttalnlrg owns a python
that has been conflnedldrr a cage for over
thirteen months. During this period the
s iket has not eaten ft na.uthful of food of
any kind , although < } H6ry conceivable del
icacy of likely snake illet , such as frogs ,
birds and meat , has pjjpn set to tempt Us
appetite. Its fast seems not to be broken , and
Us owner has at last abandoned the Idea
of coaxing the collly prisoner with food. It
drinks a small quantity of water. In a dor
mant state thin fasting tfould bo better under
stood , for In this state reptiles ot thla de
scription have been known to exist for per
iods ot eighteen months , or even three years.
Ituliul Out.
Ills clothes were much the worse for wear ,
and he had a hungry ( and especially thirsty )
look In hU eye as he approached a gentleman
who was on the point of entering hit clut
house , relates New York Life.
"Excuao me sir , " he said , "bat could yoi
help ma to git something to eat ? I haven'l
had anything for three days. "
"Do you live In New York ? "
"Yes , sir. I have lived here all my life. "
"Ah. poor man ! I don't sec how I can heir

could have asked you to-dluawlth me at the

LONDON. Nov. 24. There was a lack of
novelties at the theaters during tlio past
week .and the nbsenco of nil members of
the royal family from the play houses on
iccount of the mourning for the czar has
had omo effect on the general prosperity
Df the season , although the Huymarket ,

German company now doing such excellent
work at the Comlque , will probably secure It
for the establishment of a permanent Ger

"Cup and Saucer" comedies of Robertson
became famous , and this house saw the
rlso of the Hare , Bancroft and Kendal for

berne the names of "Regency theater , "
"Quoon's theater , " "Fltzroy theater" and
"Tho Prlnco of Wales. "
Joseph Hoffman made his only appearance
this season at Bt. James hall before a good
audience , but ho did not create any special
excitement. Hoffman Is now a full grown
youth and resembles Oscar Wilde. Ills per
formance was an artistic success , the best
critics agreeing that the precocious child has
developed Into a finished artist. The Globe
yesterday afternoon , commenting upon
young Hoffman's ability , said : "At present
ho lacks breadth and dignity , but In other
respects ho may challenge comparison with
the most finished artists of Europe. "
Mile. Jeanne Nuola , who appeared last
week with such success In Carter's "I'la-

rangements are changed , to appear at La
Scala , Mjlan , In January next and at Drury
Lane during" the next grand opera season
of Sir Augustus Harris In 1805. Mile. Nuola
lsa very beautiful woman and possesses a
dramatic soprano volco of wldo range and
cultivation. She has already secured a
triumph In the English provinces as Mar
guerite , her treatment of the heroine of
this Faust legend being new to. the English
stage and one which won her the unquali
fied endorsement of Gounod. The brilliancy
of her method , delicacy of phrasing , and
that moro than admirable quality , sympathy ,
which she possesses In generous abundance ,
will secure her a future of promise. She
may bo heard In America In 1895-90.
GREAT RUN OP "FAUST. "
Great preparations are under way for the

this special performance a statue of Gounod ,
executed by Mr. Fralgure , will bo placed on
tlio stage In the center of the operatic group ,
dressed to costumes of the various char
acters Gounod has contributed to the stage.
At th& termination of "Faust" a chorus In
honor of the composer will be sung. This
chorus Ambrose 'Thomas has promised to
provide. <
William Terrls has designs of "touring"
with his own play. Knowing how essentially
ho Is a strong gallery and pit performer , the

ordered a play from that reteran scadog W.

the unprejudiced. He Is a better dancer
brighter In many -ways and a much Imnlei
and more conscientious worker than Fey
Then the public does not see all that got *

"A Summer nilxzord" will open at the Fif
teenth Street theater this afternoon.
A most Intcrcttlng event to the playgoer
will bo the reappearance at Iloyd's theater
next Monday for two nights of Mr. and Mrs.
Keivlal , who will present for the first tlmc
In Omaha Mr. A. W. Plnt-fo's new play ,
"Tho Second Mrs. Tanqueray. " The play
comes with the endorsement of a long run
In London , a successful engagement at the
Star theater. New York City , ami Hooloy's
theater , Chlccgo.
Mr. Plntro has written n play , according
to tlio criticisms ot the press , which Dumas
and Sardou mlgit | sign without a , blush. It
Is a play of exalted passions , of iraro study
of character ; It touches upon the chords of
many emotions with an unerring hand ; It Is
satirical , ethical , tragical , and above oil , It
Is Interesting with an Intensity that becomes
fascinating. Tin ? purpose of the > drama will
dhow social humanity as It U , or as It might
be under probable conditions , suffering possi
ble sorrows and striving for happiness. The
four acts are l.ko a crucial orUcal In social
ethics , the culminating chapters of a pecu
liarly powerful and original novel.
On Tuesday evening Mr. ami Mrs , Kendat
will present Tom Taylor's standard comedy ,
"Still Waters Run Deep. " It Is nearly a
quarter of n century since the stage has
wltneised a performance of this polished
comedy , yet every student of the drama Is
tolerably familiar with It. It has lived
nearly fifty years , and may still be read
with pleasure , because It has not yet become
conventional or hackneyed. Its plot la In
teresting and Ingeniously developed. Its
Language Is brilliant and elegant at times ,
and at least two of Its characters remain
today types neither exaggerated nor Im
probable.
When Tom Taylor wrote "Still Waters
Run Deep" he struck a chord that found Its
echo in the breast of every man who has the
least spark of chlvalrlc feeling. The comedy
was produced on May II , 1S55 , at the Olym
pic , London. So great was Its suc
cess that American managers rciolvoj to pro
duce it , and It was produced for the first time
in this country on September 10 , 1855 , at
Darnum's , New York , and within the space
of tlires months the comedy had been seen
in most of the large cities of , the day.
The engagement of Mr. Nat C. Goodwin ,
whioh begins at the IJoyd Friday evening ,
November 30 , will serve to present that popu
lar comedian In a new light. Slnco Mr.
Goodwin's last appearance here ho has made
a wldo departure , from the usual stage
methods with which his admirers are famil
iar , and has taken a wldo Btrldo In advance
In his profession. In this play , "In Mlz-
zoura , " written for him by Augustus Thomas ,
the author of "Alabama , " the comedian plays
a part qulto unlike anything lie has hitherto
attempted. It Is that of the sheriff of Pike
county , Missouri , whose characteristics are
composed In about equal proportions of ser
ous determination and quaint humor , Jim
Radburn , In his pathetic moments , calls
tears to the eyes , and In his humortous
scenes convulses the audience 'with laughter.
In his treatment of this complex character Mr.
Goodwin shows that he Is equally capable of
put bos and humor , and that he has a perfect
right to claim to bo one of the most versa
tile actors on the American stage. In New
York and Chicago , whofa "In Mlzzoura" lias
already enjoyed a long run , there lias been
no difference of opinion among the critics
or the general public. The performance of
Mr. Goodwin has been emphatically pro
nounced as the great master piece ot his
career , while the/play has been declared to
bo one of the best of the new American
school. It Is admirably put upon the Stage ,
and the supporting company Is an unusually
competent one. There are several first-class
Oharaclers In the play and each Is admir
ably ac.toJ.
The bill for Saturday matinee will bo , "A
Gilded Fool. " one ot the big successes ,
In which Mr. Goodwin has a character ad
mirably adapted to display his artUtlo abili
ties to the fullest advantage. Chauncy Short' ,
at the opening ot the play , appears as * a
young man with" apparently more money
than brain : , who Is leading a fast life , tryIng -
Ing to dispose of Ills superfluous wealth.
Everybody can Imagine how the comedian
acts this part , and with what lightness ol
touch he treats its salient features. No man
living Is more capable of playing the good
liver and man about town than Nat Good
win , and his Impersonation convulses his
audience with laughter. As the play pro-
reases a serious element Intervenes , and
Oliauucy Short proves that he Is not quite
"such a fool as he looks. " Pathos comes
to the fiont nnd supplants for a brief tlmi
the comedy of the play , and In bundling
this Mr. Goodwin Is quite as successful as
In appealing to the sense of humor ot tils
public. The part Is a great one , In its
way , and affords Indisputable evidence of
the great versatility of the bright actor who
assumes It.
Considerable Interest Is manifested among
Mr. Goodwin's admirers in this city to see
him enact the role of David Garrlck , which
la the bill for Saturday night , and several
theater parties have be-en formed to attend
Saturday night. Thla Is the most advanced
step that Mr. Goodwin has as yet taken , and ,
according to the criticisms of the leading
Chicago papers , it places him upon the
pedestal of fame. To those who have never
had an opportunity of seeing the piny of
"David Garrlck" we will brlfly give the
outline ot the plot : Simon Ingot's daughter
Ada has seen David Garrlck play Hamlet , and
she Is In love with the actor. The actor has
noticed the young girl In the theater , and
he , too , adores her , Ada's * father wants to
cure his daughter of her love , and the actor
promises to help Dilm. Garrlck U Invited
to dinner one evening. Imagine his surprise
to find the woman he has silently adored ,
but true to his word bo plays drunk , and
makes such a spectacle of himself that Ada
orders him from the house. Later she
learns that lie has only been acting. She
BODS to his house to prevent his fighting a
duel on her account , she is followed by her
father , and there Is a complete rcconclla-
tlon.
On Wednesday and Thursday next at the
Iloyil the attraction will be Robert Gaylor in
the farcical production , "Sport McAllister. "
The absurdities and comicalities of Irish rule
In New York politics are represented In a
natural and pleasing way , and Gaylor'B portrayal
trayal of the born politician Is In no way
overdrawn , and the methods ot the office
sDjkers of Gotham are shown In a manner
that bas but the least savor of exaggeration.
The role of Sport McAllister is a eplcndld
vehicle for the display of Gaylor's many
peculiarities. It affords him ample latitude
for the introduction of the specialties Which
made him famous years ago , but all are In
troduced In such a legitimate manner that
they seem to ha.ve been deftly woven In by
the skillful author. Gaylor Is supported by
an excellent company of specialty artists ,
whoso work throughout the piece give evi
dence ot greater talent than Is generally
shown. Miss .Mabel Craig , one pf the
brightest soubrettes , dances and sings in a
most charming manner , Arthur J. O'tUlpn
ni Dennis Mcdlnty , Bport'a rival Jn politics ,
Is well spoken of , while Joseph Kelly In said
lo bo another Kvans , of "Parldr Match"
fame , and docs an exceedingly clever plcco
ot character acting. Mies Marie Lixurens ,
Lillian Heckler , Llzzlo Innes. KathUcn War
ren , Mabel Craig , Nelsey Chambwlaln , nnd
a bevy of pretty girls , whoio artistic sing
ing will , It Is said , captivate any audience ,
are Mill In the cast. There will be an extra
matlneo Thursday , Thanktglvlug day , at 2.JO
p. in.
Referring to "A SiimmT nilzzard , " the
Thanksgiving week attraction at the Fif
teenth Street theater , commencing Sunday
matinee , today , the Kansas City World of
November 19 says : "Huslness at the new
Gllllss oper.i house took a wonderful Jump
yesterday at the matinee. Hv.'ry scat was
taken and last night standing room was In
demand. "A Summer llllzzard" proves to boone
ono of the best farce comedies seen her ? this
year. There Isn't much of a story to the
piece , but It Is at least coherent and It pro
vides some humorous climaxes In a natural
sort of way. It's an entertainment rather
than a play , and consists mainly of a string
ot specialties. The first act , however , haa
a take-off on the newspaper ofllce that Is
clever , and life at a seaside hotel Is broadly
satirized. The piece seems to derive- its
name from the fact that the various charac
ters ore drawn together , and the laughable
circumstances brought about through the me
dium of a country newspaper called the Sum
mer Dllzzard , owned by a Mr. Wright U.
Scribble.
"Miss Nelly Rosebud , In the rule of Helen ,
the soubrette , Is good , her peculiar but
pleasing style and clever special tics contrib
uting much toward the success ot the piece ,
The cast includes some thirty people , all ot
whom are especially fitted to the parts as
signed them. Jamco Carroll , a midget come
dian of the Arthur Dunne type , heads the
list as a fun maker. Clayton E. White , oa
an advance agent , Is all right. W. II. Mur
phy , a ? Howland Rant , a Shakespearian
crank , Is a good bad actor. Harncy Reynolds ,
the veteran minstrel , gives his Imitation ! )
with old time * success. Charles A. Durko. as
the editor , and Henry Putman , as Coughdrop
Ed , also sccuro many laughs. Leonard
Somora sings a ballad agreeably and U as
sisted by a well balanced quartet. The
Nichols sisters , French novelty danncra , do
some wonderful contortions , and Miss Uoat-
rlcc Goldlo renders a soprano solo accepta
bly. There Is any amount ot dancing , anil
n now Dowory song and dance made the lilt
of the show. There are many other features ,
the whole making up a high class vaudevllllo
entertainment that Is pushed through at too
lively a rate of speed to allow Interest to
lag for a moment. "
