TABLEAUX PHANTA8MA.
A Wonderful Production. Something i : n
tlrel- Now , llnrd'H , May 1O mid 1 1.
Tableaux Phantasma comes hero under the
personal supervision of Prof. John W. Sher
man , a man known from the Atlantic to the
Pacific for the last twenty-five years. They
come hero complete , as produced In Chicago ,
where they had a run of twenty-five nights.
s Ho has given them In all the largo cities of
the cast with Immense success ; also In San
Francisco , where he gave 123 presentations.
The phantasma are groupings In one. con
tinuous pageant biblical , historical , mytho
logical and humorous. The groups appear and
disappear with the rapidity of thought. The
manner In which living people dissolve
through ono another is startling and beauti
ful. The entertainment is one that will ap
peal to the refinement and culture of the
community. To pro luce this performance
Mr. Sherman will bo assisted by fifty of our
young bud. , our crack military company ,
base ball team nnd a lawn tennis club. Some
of the best musical talent of the city will alsc
participate. Mr. Sherman brings with him
two carloads of scenery and apparatus , which
will bo placed the coming week. Rehearsals
arc under way. Remember , at Boyd's , Maj
10 nnd 11. The following Is a clipping from
an eastern paper ;
Never In the history of this city have
classic nnd modern subjects received BO sat
isfactory or artistic un Interpretation as
they did last night. As John W. Sherman
the Inventor of the process used lu the
Tableaux Phantasma , has said , they were
"the grandest and most realistic effects evei
produced. " The tableaux are of the "livlnf
pictures" order , the popularity of which \i \
constantly Increasing , but nro given In ar
entirely new method. The human figure !
seem to dissolve Into ono another , and group
Ings melt Into vapor. U Is perhaps on thli
account that one Is struck by the wonderfu
nnd mystifying sight that Is contlnuall ;
being presented upon the stage. In ono In
Blanco a company of mllltla disappears like ;
flash nnd In their places stands a lone sen
try. Again , tx merry tambourine girl dls
solves Into the white robed figure of "Hope.1
The subjects nro without limit , nnd In thcl
creation are told stories of sadness aud joy
sunshine and storm. It Is a pretty ccrtali
Indication that something exceptionally In
teresttng Is going on , when an audience I
hold spellbound for moments at a time , for
getting that they arc seated In a darkcnei
hall. Such , however , was the rnso las
night , and It la but fair to presume tha
those who attended thu entertainment wen
nway abundantly pleased with the evening'
enjoyment.
The entertainment throughout was mcrl
torlous nnd reflects great credit upon thos
who took part. U was far nbovo the nverag
entertainment , and Is without a rival lu th
realm of "Living Pictures. "

All About the Now \V. C. T. U. Drinking
1'onntiiliip.
Of the many philanthropic enterprises of
Omaha women the establishment of these
drinking fountains Is the newest and , In
many ways , the pluckiest , nnd , moreover ,
It premises to be a boon to the poor of the
city.
city.Mrs.
Mrs. Lewis , president of the Central
union of Kansas City , writes : "I think
you have a plucky set of women to under
take such an enterprise , " and continues :
"Your scheme of raising money Is certainly
unique and practical. " The enterprise Is
this : The Woman's Christian Temperance
union has bought fifteen automatic penny-
In-the-slot drinking fountains , with the ex
clusive right of operating them In Council
HlufTs and Douglas county. Having se
cured from our generous city council the
privilege of setting up the fountains the
women set about getting the necessary
$1,000 to pny for them. Tho. peculiar finan
cial embarrassment which prevails led the
organization to dcvlso some way of raising
the money aaldo from the usual popular
subscription paper. Finally a plan was
evolved ; the money should bo borrowed but
where ? Cash loans without ample secur
ity nro scarce nnd fluctuating , and as an
organization the Woman's Christian Tem
perance union has absolutely nothing to
back Its honor. And then another fertile
brain brought out a bright thought , and It
was decided to nsk loans , of $5 nnd upwards
at S per cent Interest , giving ns security a
legal note running ono year and signed by
the president and secretary of the union.
This plan worked like a charm , and be
tween February 12 and April 1 this ener-
getlo liand of women had borrowed } 305 , a
sum sulllclcnt to complete present payments ,
and $37.50 had been donated to the fund by
well wishing friends. Mr. Carl Smith of
the World-Herald , through his lecture ,
added $22.75 moro for the fountains.
They are now In the city , and we take
this opportunity to publicly thank each one
who by helpful co-operation with the
Woman's Christian Temperance union , In
giving and doing , has made the accomplish
ment of our desire possible.
From the Income of the fountains we pro
pose paying our entire obligations. The
fountains will be In place as BOOH ns the
wcnthcr becomes settled. In the mean
time wo arc negotiating for privileges In
certain public buildings. As wo have been
Invited by Mr. Ober to place one In the
Young Men's Christian association building
that will bo our first base of operations
Call there to see the cunning llttlo fellow In
side the machine deal out the cherry phos
phate.
The mechanism of this machine Is per
fect for Its purpose. Nothing but n piece
of metal exactly the size , weight nnd
Hhnpo of a penny will suffice. U cannot be
operated by a wire or any other device. II
honestly gives full measure , but resolute ) :
declines all artifices and attempts to coa >
another drop from It.
The base of the fountain Is of cast Iron
and the body of enameled sheet stee
mounted upon n wooden stand. The rcser
volr holds fifteen gallons of liquid. A bo
will attend each fountain to change nickel
Into pennies nnd to cleanse the glass afte
each Individual la served.
The fact that this means of refrcshmcn
Is becoming popular Impresses us , asv
hear of the fountains across the Atlanti
nnd In our largo cities here. The prcsldcn
of the Chicago Central Woman's Chrlsllai
Temperance union writes iw : "Wo hav- -
for two years operated these fountains here
and we expect to run 100 moro this Bum
mcr. " Speaking with Chief Iledell In reference
erenco to these fountains In Chicago , li
talks enthusiastically of their patronage am
the satisfaction given ns a public bcnefac
lion.

The Kansas City union writes , througl
Us secretary , that Us twclvo fountains ar
paid for and It considers them a flno ir
vestment and a great temperance work.

found It a great success. Investing la moi

After a few months of business we feel
Justified In saying- that the people are gl.ul
that we came. Wo don't think we've done
our best , that's a fact , because we look for
ward to each day's doings outstripping the
last. Already we are making a name for our
selves In the way of having genuine bargains
and lots of them.
The fortunate purchase by our Mr. S. P.
Morse of the Jaffrny stock has placed many
laurels at our disposal. He was In New York
City when the Jaffrays went Into the hands
of the receivers and It did not take him long
to step over and get acquainted with Mr. He
cclver. Hclng among the first , If not actually
the first , to buy , he naturally had a choice
that has resulted In such great sensations In
the way of bargains that we've been turning
out as fast as clerks could do up the bundles.
In addition to the Jaffray stock wo arc In
constant receipt of new goods In every de
partment In the store. Dry goods were never
so low nnd will not be again , for with the beginning
ginning- that the rise that oil , cotton and wool
have made bright and booming times are now
assured.
The most notable purshases are the dress
goods and silks and wash goods , the S. P.
Morse Dry Hoods company being able to show
novelties In these lines that will not be seen
elsewhere In Omaha this year. The laces
and embroideries , too , nro replenished to such
a degree that there Isn't a larger or better
assorted stcck of new nnd choice designs in

Strong Iteprcqoiitiulim of ClnlH Location
of the TournuiiicnU.
Grand Island will entertain the lawn ten
nis players of Nebraska July 16 to 18 and
Lincoln will show her enthusiasm for the
game June 10 , 11 and 12. The doubles cham
pionship will bo competed for at Grand Is
land and the singles at Lincoln.
Tills was decided at a very enthusiastic
meeting of representatives of eight or nine
clubs In different parts of the state held at
the rooms of the Commercial club in Lincoln
last night. The Omaha club was represented
by O. E. Haverstlck and W. Byles ; C. H.
Young held a proxy for the Young Men's
Christian Club of Omaha ; S. L. Gelsthardt
and W. Shepherd represented the Lincoln
club and Prof. Ward was present to see what
was done and report to the Lincoln State
University club ; O. A. Abbott was present
from Grand Island and A. E. Gullmette from
Hastings. Mr. Havcrstick also held a proxy
from Ord , and Wllber sent a communication
to the effect that they wished to enter the
association. It was hoped also that the
Shrlner Lawn Tennis club of Omaha would
become a member of the association.
The meeting was free and easy , but the
object for which It was called together was
accomplished .It was decided to form a
state association and a set of officers was
elected. Sir. S. L. Gelsthardt was chosen as
president by acclamation and Mr. W. Byles
for secretary and treasurer. These two , with
Gullmetto of Hastings , K. A. Gary of Wllber
and Abbott of Grand Island , will form the
executive association. Any club In good
standing may become a member of the asso
ciation upon the approval of the executive
committee and the payment of $1 for the
annual dues , but It was agreed that any club
which failed to send at least one representa
tive to the state tournament for two years
In succession should forfeit membership ,
The question of the location of the state
tournaments then came up and Grand Island
put forward a request for the doubles. It
was decided that the management of the tour
nament must be entirely In the hands of the
local club , with whom all responsibility for
Its success would rest. Grand Island WM
ready to undertake the burden and the con
sent of the meeting was given for the doubles
to bo played In that city , with the under
standing that the university club of Lincoln
would help them out. The Lincoln clut
promised to make a success of the single !
competition and It will be a feature of Ou
university commencement week.
The one Idea which prevailed throughout
the meeting was to make the game populai
throughout the state , and It was with this
object In- view that Grand Island , where tin
sport is beginning to make headway , am
Lincoln , where It Is showing signs of re
newed life , were selected for the champion
ship competitions.
After the business wag disposed of thi
members of the Lincoln club treated theli
visitors to a. nice luncheon In the rooms o
the Commercial club.

Omaha Guards ! The name opens a store
house full of blttcret thoughts bitter
for the loss of the fine-young fellows who
once answered at rolli ell I , and whose lines
lie alas ! In other , let us hope pleasant ,
places ; sweet , for the manly , genial band
who compose the present-roster.
The adage , "there's luck In odd number * , "
Is verified In the tucctsstof this company , It
being the third attempt at citizen soldiery
In the city. The ( other two the Omaha
light Infantry , and the Edward Crelghlon
Guards , dying In their Infancy , the Omaha
Guards having passed their seventh birthday.
"May they live long .and prosper I"
Of the original members , few remain to
tell the tale. Not of early struggles for ex
istence , but of the generosity of the citizens.
Appreciating the need of such an organiza
tion , they responded nobly to an appeal for
funds , making possible the otherwise Impos
sible , since the state refusal aid to these
would-bo "Sons of Mars. "
'TIs a well known fact that a uniform Is
dear to the feminine heart , and Oiiaha's
daughters do not differ In this respect from
their sisters. Almost from th ? first nsscm
bly call the actlvo brains and deft fingers of
married ladles and young girls were busy
with schemes for aiding the "soldier boys , "
which efforts resulted In their possessing
the handsomest stand of colors that have
been unfurled at any encampment they have
attended , and dress uniforms , which are their
Joy and pride. Who In Omaha at that time
does not remember the glories of the Bazaar ?
Its gorgeous decorations , handsome booths ,
pretty girls , the grace- with which the
crowds submitted to be fleeced , and the fas
cinations of the Razzle Dazzle ! With a deep
sense of appreciation for th ? ladles' kindness ,
together with their native gallantry , the
guards have at all times been more than
ready to respond to any call n'ade upon them
for "snct charity , " or whatever it pleased
the ladles to suggest.
Since Us Inception the > company has had
three captains. Captain Scharff , now of the
Thurston Rifles , Captain Baintord of the
regular army ( who , by the way , Is the
fourth ex-member who has won his shouldr
knots ) , and Captain Mulford , the present
commander. They have entered six competi
tive drills , and their flag bears but one black
rlbbcn. Wherever duty or pleasure has called
them they have berne themselves as soldiers
and gentlemen , and left a record for which
their city need not blush.
Another proud possession Is their galling
gun , the only Ilko piece of ordnanc ? In the
"Nebraska National Guard. " With this
death-dealing Instrument , a detachment under -
dor command of Captain Mulford leaves for
Memphis to strive for new honors.
It Is Indeed a goodly sight to see these
athletic young warriors ( handsome , too ) , go
through the very Intricate and difficult
maneuvers , and surely no one could see them
without wishing they might bring homo a
lue ribbon , and breathing for Uum a fer-
ent "God speed. "
ANNABELLE POPE MULFORD.
THURSTON RIFLES.
After the political campaign of 1892 had
ecome a memory of the past nnd the various
: lubs had disbanded , the famous Zouave
flambeau club of the Fifth ward decided to
etaln Its organization.
The Idea of becoming n state mllltla com-
tany and the difficulty of obtaining n suitable
rmory In which to drill were the principal
ibstacles which were gradually overcome and
m September 13 , 1803 , a reorganization was
ccompllshed and named "Thurston Rifles , "
n honor of Omaha's worthy representative In
congress , Senator John M. Thurston. Arthur
I. Scharff , whose ability asa military com-
tiander Is well known , was made captain
nd through his efforts the rifles have at-
alned a high mark of proficiency In military
iclence.
The company moved from North Twentieth
treet to their present armory on Harney
treat and the rnnltc became strengthened
vlth able bodied men who are Imbued with
a love for patriotism and ready to uphold
* he law and maintain the dignity of the state
ivhen called. William J. Foye was made
first lieutenant and J. II. Johnson second
"leutenant.
On the 18th of December , with military
pomp and splendor , the Thurston Rifles were
mustered Into the Nebraska national guard
and became soldiers of the state for a psrloa
three years. The company made Its first
appearnce In public at the First Baptist
church on the evening of February 22 , 1894 ,
' .he occasion being the , celebration pf Wash-
ngtonl birthday by the cltfzcns of Omaha.

"Yrlght Butler of the St. Mary's Avenue
ihurch to attend "services In honor of the

Butler was afterward unanimously elected
chaplain of the Thurston Rifles.
On the evening of May 28 the company
became prominent In the minds of the public ,
the occasion being their flag presentation.
The great Coliseum was packed to Its utmost
capacity by friends who witnessed their
pdesentatlon of a beautiful specimen of "Old
lory , " by their lady friends , and bearing the
nscrlptlon. "Thurston Rifles , Omaha , Neb. ,
Organized September 13 , 1893. " Two days
later the handsome silk flag was unfurled In
the May breezes of Memorial day , when the
company headed the procession to Hanscom
park with ninety men In their ranks. They
began drilling at once and on July 4 , 1894 ,
the Thurstons were victorious in their first
compatitivo drill , their rivals being the
Omaha Guards , who until then were consid
ered the crack military company of the state.
It was a great victory for the Rifles and
while but eight months old , the Idea of de
feating a company ssven years their senior
and ono that had become famous was a source
of much Jubilant feeling for the RIRes.
The Rifles again caino before the public
during the labor trouble at South Omaha last
August and were highly praised for services
rendered. Being the largest , as well as the
best drilled , company they were stationed In
the most dangerous places. After the strike
the Klflles went to the encampment of the
Nebraska national guard at Lincoln , the
principal event of which was the competitive
drill for the governor's challenge cup. There
were to bs regular army officers as Judges
and the cup was to be awarded by their
decision. The drill of the Rifles could not
be equaled and Instead of receiving the
trophy , which was ) won fair and square , they
received the decision of the Judges , which
was framed and hung In the vestibule of the
armory.
Previous to the 4th of July contest Lieuten

of the second platoon on account of business
and Mr. J. Hayward was elected to succeed
him.

man SCHOOL CADETS.
The cadet battalion of the Omaha High
school , under Lieutenant J. A. 1'enn ns mili
tary Instructor , at present consists of about
ISO members. The staff of officers has been
the Bamo through the whole year , Mr. Col-
petzer being cadet adjutant , Mr. Sheldon
quartermaster , Mr. Word Clark ecrgent major
and Mr. Crou quartermaster sergeant. The
very creditable condition of the four com
panies Is largely duo to the captains , Mr.
Hnlpli Conncll , Mr. George Purvis , Mr. Samuel
Hums , Jr. , and Mr. Albjrt Egbert. Each
company has Its full complement of sergennti
and corporals of the organization resembles
closely that of the Infantry In the regular
army. A small flfo and drum corps was or
ganized this spring under Corporal Wertle
True as drum major , but was , discontinued
on account of several drummers leaving
school. It Is , however , to be reorginlzed next
fall. During the winter the cadets drilled
Indoors , and short talks on military subjects
were given by Lieutenant I'emi. As soon
as the weather permitted , outside drills were
again held. A greater Interest Is given these
by the fact that the annual competition drill
will be held on the evening of May 3 at the
Coliseum. Whichever company excells In
dress , nppfarance and military elllclency \ \ \ \ \
have the honor of carrying the standard for
the following year. A silk flag Is to be pre
sented them early In May. The rifles , which
have been so long wanted , stem no nearer
being procured than ever , but It Is to be
hoped that the next congress will consider tha
question favorably , and In that case guns and
other equipments will bo furnished during
the next year. The cadets will take part In
the Decoration day exercises , and on the
same day the orders announcing the officers
for the following year will probably bo pub
lished. OEUTUUUB WATBUMAX.
