Kccclvcrs Mink nnd Anderson , General
Manager B. Dickinson , Freight Trafllo Man-
nger Munroo , Chief Engineer Pcgram of the
' Union Pacific nnd several stenographers ar
rived this morning by special train from
Grand Island , cnrouto from Ullllngs and the
Bound country.
Mr. Oliver W. Mink , vice president nnd
comptroller of the system , and one of the
receivers for the property , In talking of the
trip of the receivers rind officials ot the com
pany made over tlio system , said : "Our
flrst stop was made at Denver , where wo
lield a conference with Ilecclvcr 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 ,
Loadvlllo & Qunnlson , and the Union Pacific ,
Denver & Oulfi . After going over the -whole
Bltuatlon ton Onally agreed to continue to
operate the shops at Denver , charging rates
Batlfcfactory to both parties In Interest. This
arrangement will prevent any Increase In the
Cheyenne shops at present , because the busi
ness of the road will not warrant any ad
ditional expense , our present forces being
entirely able to do the necessary repairs as
they may be required about the system.
"From Denver wo went to Salt Lake , rela
tive to matters entrusted to us by Mr. Clark ,
nnd from there over the Oregon Short Line ,
inspecting the betterments which are
being made under the direction
ot Mr. Pcgram , In the way of putting In
tipw bridges , which Improvements will cost
upwards of $300.000 , but which are abso
lutely necessary for the property. Having
finished this branch of our allotment work
we went on to Spokane over the Oregon Hall
way & t < [ avlgntlon company line , a property
In which Mr. A. A. Uoissevaln represents
largo holdings , and who with his party
joined UB In Denver. Next to the holdings of
the Ames and dould families In Union Pa
cific securities , .Mr. llousevaln represents
the holdings in England and Germany , and
naturally we were anxious that he should
eco the Oregon Short Line and Oregon Ilall-
way & Navigation company. It was Mr.
Uolsscvaln's flrst trip pvcr these properties ,
although he has had his representatives over
them a number of times.
CONFERENCE WITH M'NEILL.
"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 see Mr. McNeil ) , receiver of the Navi
gation company. Our conference with him
was long , but after several days' session we
dually agreed upon a division of passenger
rates from Huntlngton west , which we are
to pay to the Navigation company , and which
basis of ZTA per cent Is a compromise be
tween the demands of the Navigation com
pany nnd the blanket proportion the Union
, I'acifio would agree to. This proportion only
applies to certain parts of the business , the
general division being greatly In
volved , too much so for a clear
nnd Intelligent understanding 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 the
receivers Were In a position to shake hands
with themselves that their mission to the
w northwest Jiad been accomplished.
- "From Portland Wo went via the Northern
f
Pacific to Seattle , cast over the Great North
ern to Spokane , thence over the Northern
Pacific to IJutto and Anaconda , to Ullllngs
and Sheridan , via the new Burlington line ,
that we might form some estimate ot the
property of a competitor , and down to Grand
Island , where we struck our own road , and
then to Omaha. Mr. Dolssovaln and hla
party left ua nt Portland for San Francisco ,
and I believe was very much Impressed with
the great possibilities of the country , and
particularly of the properties In which he is
so largely Interested , as the representative
of large holders in Holland nnd the conti
nent , plated through the banks In Lender
and Amsterdam.
"To me the trip was most Interesting , ant
most Instructive. Wo found the property Ir
first class condition , In fact It has never beer
In so excellent shape , and we only need busi
ness t oput us beyond worry incidental to thf
management of so great a trust. Our earn
jngs , however , do not show up aa we wouli
like to Imvo them , and an the business o
the road is about all over for this season , we
must bo content to run very close to thi
wind for the next few months
We have not thought of nnj
further reductions In the departments
for we have about reached ths nonrial. thi
, operation of a system the slza ot Unlor
Pacific necessitating Just so many employe !
whether there is much or little- business
Of course , train crewa will bo laid oft ai
they are not needed , but beyond this thi
receivers have not discussed further reduc
tlon In the forces.
"From my observation I should say tha
the business situation has brightened con
slderahly west of Denver , but cast througl
Kansas and Nebraska I still find a depres
1 slon , duo * largely to the failure of crops
Had the states mentioned besn favored will
an abundance of grain and corn , this ,
nm confident , would have been one of th
Breatcst years In the history of the Untoi
I'aciflc. "
AS TO FORECLOSURE SUITS.
Asked If he * thought the numerous fore
, closure suits would be pushed to their legltl
mate end , Mr. Mink said : "I do not bellov
. lt Is the Intention of the complainants nin
J plaintiffs In these cases to force anyon
to the wall. The general feeling seems t
„ be that the suits were brought to protec
certain int'rests and to permit the contrc
of revenues under receivers , rather thai
allow the rcvenuea to go into channel
s other than thoss represented by the mort
gage holders. With receivers favorable t
the Interests seeking protection I belleva tha
the foreclosurecoses will not operate as
bar to tlio legitimate handling of the proper
- ties , "
Upon the question of reorganization Mi
Mink expressed himself as favorable t
some such scheme as outlined by the govern
ment receivers. "I do not understand tha
the government directors are pledged to th
several allotments mail ? , but they were ad
vanccd only to develop the reorgantzatlo
feature ot their report and show by actus
* figures now soma such scheme could b
brought about. The allotment of the gov
eminent security Is n very generous ono 1
my opinion , "being something like $70,000 ,
000 , or dollar for dollar. This amount unde
the plan propoied , would become part ot th
blanket mortgage proposed to be placed a
the entire property , and become a share
holder ot the first mortgage Instead of holt
Inu Its lien nature or second mortgag
function , aa under existing conditions. Wit
the government debt settled and out ot th
vrny I have no doubt but that the other Ir
tercets could harmonize quite readily. C
course there would bo forae heart burning
probably , that In the allotment of certal
funds the rcale was not properly propo
tloued , but even these could bo handled wltt
out much dlfliculty , There are certain gll
cdeo securities like the sinking funds , tl
Omaha bridge bond * and others , whlc
would have to be carefully considered , but
anticipate everybody could agree as to hi
position In Iho blanket mortgage. It thei
was only some one who could speak author
'UtlVoly for the government , I believe 01
pathway would bo clear toward re-orgunlz ,
tlon. The re-organixalion committee mu
taka Into consideration the government del
flrst , and after u conclusion has been reacht
ni towhit would be a fair valuation ot tl
second mortgage which It holds In certs
branches ot the Union Pacific , then tl
i flrtt trip over these properties , although I
other iecurlty holders can meet upi
I a common ground for the aettl
1 went of their Interest. Whether tl
V reorganization cornlttea will preiei
\ a. plan 10 tha congress shortly to convene
I Am not Informed , but we can only hope th
the scheme as proposed by Mr. Anderson and
hta associates , will meet with consideration.
The fact that they went no far as to put In
all the allotments , Including the Oregon Hall
way & Navigation company , shows how sin
cerely they regard a united property. As lo
Iho Union Pacific , Denver Quit , that could
como In or not , as the beat Interests seemed
to demand. "
Mr. Kink nhd Mr1. Anderson went 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
the feat of catching a trout bigger than the
one caught by Mr. Clark , lit one ot the forks
of the Powder river.

'Iliclr Career nml tlmractrrUtlrs ,
NEW ORLEANS , Nov. 21. Mlntilo It , Wil
liams and Nannie Wlllams , connected with
the career of Holmes , the Insurance swindler ,
were nieces of Rev. Dr. C. W. Dlack of this
city , who Is editor of the Methodist Christian
Advocate. Their father was killed In a rail
road wreck , nnd their mother died soon after
wards. This was in 1ST2 , and the younger
slstor , 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 1880 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 nt
$20,000.
Coming back from Hoston Minnie met her
sister In Mississippi nnd the two went to the
home of their uncle , Dr. C. W. IJIack , In
Jackson , Miss. , where they were together
for the first time since they were Infants.
This waa In 18S9. They visited Dr. Dlack
for some time , returning to Texas together.
Dcforo this Minnie had gone to Boston to
take a post-graduate course In the New
England conservatory of elocution.
She finished this course In 1890 and went to
Denver , where- she remained for some time
teaching elocution. When she visited her
uncle. Dr. Ulack , in Jackson In 1S90 she had
a picture of a young man she had met In Bos
ton , whose name was Harry Gordon. She
spoke of him as ' 'Harry" nnd said that she
w.n very much smitten , as ho waa handsome
and wealthy.
In March , 1S93 , the elder girl went to Chi
cago. The dispatches have related that she
as a typewriter , but Dr. Dlack said he
oubtcd the truth of that , as she was a fine
ocutlonlst and was devoted to her art , giv-
ig her attention to nothing else.
Soon after going to Chicago she wrote to her
ster , telling her about "Harry" Gordon , and
laying she was going to marry him. Soon
fter receiving this letter another came , stat-
ig that they had been married and Inviting
annle to come to Chicago , where they would
nke In the World's fair. The. sister in Texas

The member ot Parliament for ones ot the

aid head. He' was In a shaving saloon the
ther day getting shaved. When he had fin-
shed the barber remarked : "I've got a splen-
Id new hair restorer here. Will you lot me
ry It on your head. " The M. P. assented , with ;
n observation that showed that he had pro-
lous experience in the matter : "All right.
don't think you can do rue any harm. "
Thereupon the barber , with a great flourish ,
.ook a bottle from the stand , and with much
ercmony began to rub his customer's head ,
\ftnr ho had been rubbing some time he
topped suddenly , nnd seemed greatly agl-
ateil. Turning to his customer , he cald , ir
a most flustered manner : "You must excuse

NEBRASKA'S MANUFACTURES
Eastern Hour Men Planning to Oloso Down
Their Mills.
OMAHA OVERRUN WITH NORTHERN FLOUR
Huma I'ntronngo Sentiment Wantlne Among
tha CoiiBiimcrs of I'lour Nebraska Mfimi-
fncturors luvllcil to Join III Forming n
National .Muiiufucturors1 League.
During the past week there has been a
great dsal of talk among northern milters
about closing down their mills In order to
curtail the output of Hour , and thus try to
advance the price. The first action was taken
at n meeting In Chicago , which was 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 was necessary to bring up
the price to a profit point. The 'reduction of
stocks was regarded as the best method
tending to an Increase In the price. An
agreement waa then formed to shut down
mills for six weeks within three months , be
ginning December 10 , 1C the requisite num
ber of signers to the agreement could be se
cured.
Thla action was followed by the closing
down of a number of the leading mills Of
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 to grind away aa long as
there Is a market for their output. Mr.
Black of S. F. Oilman & Co. said that the
milling business was In the dumps owing to
the fact that the cheap wheat from the Ar
gentine Republic and India has cut oft much
of the export trade. This has .limited the
sale of American flour largely to the home
trade , anc\ \ mills .that formerly produced
flour almost exclusively for export are now
striving for the home trade. Minneapolis
mills have been selling In Omaha for the
past thirty days flour below cost of pro
duction.
MARKET IN BAD SHAPE.
It haa not been a question of price , but a
question of getting trade regardless ot price.
Tills has placed the market In very bad
shape. Nebraska mills have met the cut , in
fact , they had to or go out of business.
The Omaha Milling company atd that
they were running full time , but that the
competition from the north had been verj
severe owing to the great strife among the
giant millers of Minneapolis to hold , 01
rather recover , the trade of this markit.
Ab the time The Bee took up the home
patronage question In 1891 there was very lit.
tie flour sold In Omaha that was made with
in the state. The Omaha Milling companj
and S. F. Oilman were about the only Ne
braska flour manufacturers who had a liads
In the city , or could get any foothold here
Everyone iiad formed the habit of tislnj
flour from outside the state , and It matteree
little where It came from , so long as ll
was not made In the state. Not only die
the northern mills have a gooa trade Ir
Omaha , but Kansas and Missouri mills wen
doing almost aa much. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars were sent out of the stati
for flour alone.
After The Bee had pointed out the follj
of starving out home millers for the benefl
ot outsiders there came a change. Ton
sumers commenced to call for Nebraska floUi
and retail dealers were compelled to put It
Blocks. At first a good many dealers fough
against H , and not a' few put In the poores
grade of Nebraska Hour that they couli
get , and tried to make consumers sick , o
It In that way , but eventually they wen
forced to give In and Ncbraslui flct.r wai
used very generally and gave goid satUfac
tlon. The * trade in home Hour has increase !
so much that mills at Cret ? , Wllburj Hash
Ings and other points , in addition to those al
ready established , opened agencies here fn.
the sale of their product. The money , In
stead of going to MtnnsapjUs , St. Joifpi
and other rival cities , either staid in Oman ,
or went out to same Ni : > r.iski point. Iron
which It would soon find Its w.iy back lu ex
change for goods from the manufacturers b
Jobbers.
JOBBERS AID THE NORTHERN MILLER !
Of late there has bssn a decided chanfe
In the situation. The large Minneapolis mill
have made a strong onslaught along th
line and have gone In with tha flrm ( leterml
nation , apparently , to recover th ? trade c
this section or ruin the business entirely. 1
they simply cut prices there would not L
so much advantage on their tide , as Ncbrask
millers know how to meet that kind of com
petition by a corresponding cut. Tills the
have already done. Northe/n. millers , how
ever , have another way of getting at Hi
trade that la even more ctlectlve than cul
ting prices. They enlist the large jobbln
houses on their side , and as they uro cat
rying a great majority of the smaller re
tall grocery houses , they are able In contrt
a largo share of the trade. They go tu
grocer who Is owing t'lem and tell hlr
that they are going to put in s : > much llou
and they put It in. In rhla way the grocer
houses of Omaha have recently bcn fille
full of northern flour. In order to get rl
ot this flour the retail dealer U forced t
put It oft onto every oustomor who does r.c
register an objection. This th.'y are dln
now , and at the present rate Nebrasl.
flour will soon bo almost an unknown com
modlty on the market.
"Does It not seem strange , " said one. bus
ness man , "that our retail gfosars will ssn
all the money that they can get from tfocl
customers out of the state and help to bull
up other cities , and then cimplaln about tli
unfortunate conditions piovnlllng In thrt
own state ? People In Omaha will buy Mir
ncapolts flcur and other products and tba
wonder why Minneapolis clearings rua f
much ahead of Omaha's , and w.iy tae-re
so much complaint among Omaha labcrln
men about the scarcity ot work. '
"If The Bee will call the attention ef cci
sumera to the subject U will be all light ,
taid another. "Omaha comunvj-s mean we
enough , but the jcbbers bnlldo-.e lha rctp
dealers , and the retailers hoodwink the coi
sumers , and the result is that the northi-i
mills have been able to capture a larga pn
portion of the trade. "

COST OF A SATTLEBHIP.
t'l n 1'ot of Money ! biii , , llonoitljKtpomlotl !
U n Good fnvpMinttit. .
In looking over -Appropriations for
the support of the gofor'fiment for a fiscal
year , says the New Vfltk . Sun , probably no
Item will bo found therojn which specifies
so much money to bcfciqxnended for so lim
ited an object as onasJmlIar ; to the follow
ing : .1 ,
"Tho president Is hereby authorized to
have constructed by contract ono sea-going ,
coastline battleship , designed to carry the
heaviest armor nnd most powerful ordnance ,
at a cost , exclusive of armament and of any
premium that may be paid for Increased
speed , not exceeding J 1.000,000.
At the first glance It scarcely seems pos
sible that a single ship , that can bo tossed
around at will by tha bl.llows of the ocean , or
be destroyed completely In a few hours If
cast upon a leo shore , could cost such nn
enormous amount of money. Four "million
dollars would build -magnificent fleet of
forty full-rigged ships , each capable of 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 of sixteen good-sized steamships , such
as run from New York fo Jacksonville , Fla. ,
and other domestic ports. A fleet ot fifty
such crack yachts as the Vigilant could be
built and fitted up In elegant style for the
price paid for Just one battleship.
It wo make our comparisons with objects
on shore more astonishing facts can be
gleaned. Take , for Instance , dwelling
houses ! a good three-story brick house , oc
cupying a lot 25 feet by 100 In an ordinary
cltv. would be worth on an average about
$10,000 , Four million dollars would build
400 houses of that class , and If these houses
were placed In one row , after making duo
allowance for streets and sidewalks , we would
have nearly two miles of dwellings. There
are not many towns of 10,000 Inhabitants
where the entire taxable property Is assessed
for $4,000,000. An average mechanic' in
good times , will earn about $600 a year ; the
money paid for one battleship by the
government would thus support nearly
7,000 families , or a city of 35,000 Inhab
itants for a whole year.
It will naturally bo asked , after reading the
above statement , how ls it possible to ex
pend this great sum for J-ist one ship ? A
visit to a large shipbuilding establishment
where such vessels are constructed will dis
close the fact that the principal Item of ex
pense must be the labor. Walk through
the draughting room , the pattern shop , the
machine shop , the boiler shop , and out on the
vessel herself , and everywhere you will find
men working away hour by hour , all for the
one ship. If we should count them we would
find that there are nearly 800 employed on
one part or another of this $4,000,000 vessel ,
Month after month they work , and probably
at the end of four years * time their task will
bo completed. l
However , the men we1 find about the yard
are not the only ones yho are employed In
the construction of the battleship. In dif
ferent parts of the country many others arc
working In the mines , "tfce- blast furnaces and
rolling mills to produce nthe material for the
men in the yard to wock upon. Altoge.thei
It Is safe to say that thousand men aio con
stantly employed for perlbd of four years li
the construction of end of these leviathans ol
the sea. f u
Probably no other creation ot man bring ;
Into employment a greater variety ot art !
sans than the construction of a warship. I :
we glance over the payiirpll of a largo ship
yard wo find represented thereon draughts
men , pattern makersj anachlnists , riveters
coppersmiths plumbetsjubpller makers , calk
ers , pipe fitters , palntqts flarpentcrs , joiners
sail makers , riggers , jpleclrlclans , bell hang

LONDON , Nov. 24. There was a lack of

ho royal family from the play houses on

lad some effect on the general prosperity
f the season , although the Haymarket ,

'Queen's theater , " "Fltzroy theater" and
The Prince of Wales. "
Joseph Hoffman made his only appearance
this season at St. James hall before a good
audience , but ho did not create any special
excitement. Hoffman is now a full grown
routh and resembles Oscar Wilde. Ills per-
'ormanco was an artistic success , the best
critics agreeing that the precocious child has
developed Into a finished artist. The Globe
yesterday afternoon , commenting upon
foung Hoffman's ability , said : "At present

respects he may challenge comparison with
the most finished artists ot Europe. "

lsa very beautiful woman and possesses a
dramatic soprano voice ot wlda range and
cultivation. She has already secured a
triumph in the English provinces as Mar
guerite , her treatment of the heroine ol
the 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 ot phrasing , nnd
that more than admirable quality , sympathy ,
which she possesses In generous abundance ,
will secure her a future of promise. She
may bo heard In America In 1805-96.

On Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs , Kcmlnl
will present Tom Taylor's standard comedy.
Still Waters Run Deep. " It IB nearly n
uartor of a century since the stage has
Itueised a performance of this polished
lotimly , yet every student of the drama Is
olorably familiar with It. It 1ms lived
icarly fifty years , and may still bo rcaJ
Ith pleasure , because It has not yet become
onvontlonal or hackneyed. Its plot Is In-
erestlng and Ingeniously developed. Its
language Is brilliant and elegant at times ,
ml at least two of Its characters remain
oday types neither exaggerated nor 1m-
irobablc.
When Tom Taylor wrote "Still Waters
tun Deep" he struck a chord that found Its
olio In the breast of every man who has the
east spark of chlvalric feeling. The comedy
as produced on May 1.4 , 1855 , at the Olym-
itc , London. So great was Us suc-
ss that American managers recolvotl to pro-
uco It , and It was produced for the first time
n this country on September 10 , 1855 , at
Darnum's , New York , and within the space
t threa months the comrdy had been seen
a most of the large cities ot the day.
The engagement of Mr. Nat C. Goodwin ,
which begins at the IJoyd Friday evening ,
November 30 , will serve to present that popu-
ar comedian In a new light. Slnco Mr.
Goodwin's last appearance here ho has made
wide- departure from the usual stage
nethoda with which his admirers are famil
iar , and has taken a wide stride In advance
n his profession. In this play , "In Mlz-
; oura , " written for him by Augustus Thomas ,
ho author of "Alabama , " the comedian plays
part quite unlike anything lie has hitherto
ttempted. It Is that of the sheriff of Pike
ounty , Missouri , whoso characteristics are
omposed In about equal proportions of ser-
na determination and quaint humor , Jim
Radburn , In Ills pathetic moments , calls
Veara to the eyes , and In his humorlous
ccnes convulses the audience "with laughter.
n his treatment of this complex character Mr.
Goodwin shows that he Is equally capable of
rathos and humor , and that he has a perfect
Ight to claim to bo one of the most versa-
llo actors on the American stage. In New
York and Chicago , whora "In Mlzzoura" lias
already enjoyed a long run , there lias been
no difference of opinion among the critics
r the general public. The performance of
Mr. Goodwin has been emphatically pro
nounced as the great master piece of his
career , while- the play has been declared to
be one of the best of the new American
school. H Is admirably put upon the stage ,
and the supporting company is an unusually
competent one. There are several first-class
ifljaracters In the play and each Is admir
ably acted.
The bill for Saturday matinee will be , "A
Glided Fool , " one of the big successes ,
"n which Mr. Goodwin has a character ad
mirably adapted to display his artlsUo abill-
Ipa to the fullest advantage. Chauncy Short ,
at the opening pf _ tile play , appears as a
young man with" apparently more money
than brain ; , who Is leading a fast life , try-
"ng to dispose of 1ila superfluous wealth.
Everybody can Imagine how the comedian
acts this part , and with what lightness ol
touch he treats its salient features. No man
Ivlng Is more capable of playing the good
Ivor and man about town than Nat Good
win , and his Impersonation convulses his
audience with laughter. As the play pro
gresses a serious element Intervenes , and
dhauncy Short proves that he > Is not quite
"such a fool as he looks. " Pathos comes
to the front and supplants for a brief tlmi
Iho comedy of the play , and In dandling
this Mr. Goodwin Is quite as successful 03
In appealing to the sense of humor ot his
public. The part Is a great one. In Its
way , and affords Indisputable evidence ol
the great versatility of the bright actor who
assumes it.
Considerable Interest Is manifested among
Mr. Goodwin's admirers In this city to sec
him enact the role of David Garrlck , which
is the bill for Saturday night , and several
theater parties have been formed to attend
Saturday night. This is the most advanced
step that Mr. Goodwin has as yet taken , and ,
according to the criticisms of the leading
Chicago papers , It places hint upon the
pedestal of fame. To those who have never
had an opportunity of seeing the play ol
' 'David Garrlck" we will brlfly give the
outline of the plot : Simon Ingot's daughter
Ada has seen David Garrlck play Hamlet , and
she Is In love with the actor. The- actor hat
noticed the young girl In the theater , anC
he , too , adores her. Ada's father wants t <
cure his daughter of her love , and the actoi
promises to help Iilm. Qarricl : U Invitei
to dinner one evening. Imagine lila surprlsi
to find the woman he has silently adored
but trueto his ward ho plays drunk , am
makes such a spectacle of himself that Ad ;
orders him from the house. Later slu
learns that he has only been acting. Sli <
Eoca to his house to prevent his fighting :
duel on her account , she Is followed by hei
falhw , and there Is a complete reconcile
tlon.
On Wednesday and Thursday next at tin
lioyd the attraction will be Robert Gnyior li

The absurdities and comicalities of Irish rul
In New York politics are represented In i

Gllllss opera house took \\ondcrful jump
yesterday at the matlnco. Uv.'ry seal waa
taken and last night standing room was In
demand , "A Summer llllzzard" proves to bo
one of tha best force comedies seen lie re this
year. There Isn't much of a story to the
lilece , but it Is at least coherent and It pro
vides some- humorous cllmaxen In a natural
sort of way. It's an entertainment rather
than a play , and consists mainly of a string
of specialties. The llrst act , however , haa
a take-oft on the newspaper cilice that Is
clever , and life at a seaside hotel Is broadly
satirized. The piece Fcems to derive Its
name fiom the fact that the various charac
ter : ) are drawn together , and the laughable
circumstances brought about through the me
dium of a country newspaper called the Sum
mer Illlzzard , owned by a Mr. Wright U.
Scribble.
"Miss Nelly Rosebud , In the role of Helen ,
the soubrettp , Is good , her peculiar but
pleasing style and clever specialties contrib
uting much toward the success of the piece.
The cast Includes some thirty people , all ot
whom are especially fitted to the parts as
signed thtm. James Carroll , a midget come
dian of the Arthur Dunne type , heads the
list aa a fun maker. Clayton E. White , as
an advance agent , Is all right. W. H. Mur
phy , as Howland Rant , a Shakespearian
crank , is a good bad actor. Uamey Reynolds ,
the veteran minstrel , gives his Imitations
with old time success. Charles A. Uurke. as
the editor , and Henry Putman , as Coushdrop
Ed , also secure many laughs. Leonard
Seiners sings a ballad agreeably and Is as
sisted by a well balanced quartet. The
Nichols ) sisters , French novtilty dancer * , do
some wonderful contortions , and Miss. . Doat-
rlce Goldle renders a soprano solo accepta
bly. There Is any amount of dancing , and
a now llowory song and dance made the hit
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. "
