The scandals which gave rlre to this rerles of ihilels began nearly five years ago , when high cOtirt personages , male and telltale , old and yoiiiig , began receiving antnyinous letters or postal cards , calling their attention to thia or that epI'ode UIOfl their own part , or upon tim part of relatives or friond9. As a result , wives became separated front their husbands and fathers and mothers discarded their children , Nearly everyoc1y nr Importance being smirched incre Or iea by the VulOnt of : the OIIOUYIIIOUS writer , who s'as cvldciitiy a person thoroughly familiar with all the do- taik , of court life , people began to look askance at their best friends. Every effort poiblo was lOathe by the police to discover the guilty party. HIlt in splte of this tile OflOllYlflOUH tormentor was able to continue the cruel work for about four years. The general opinion was that the evil communt- cation wore the work of a woman , hut t/\ gradually this ohintcn changed and for seine : atinexpiahlled rearon suspicion fastened Ita'eif ilpoll Count von Kotze , one of the court chautberlains , a popular Than , veii liked by the emperor and trusted by all his friends. Flnaiiy a volunteer spy denounced hint to the court authorities on the growu } that on the b1ottiig paper pad of a letter pad used by tli count lie had found a clear reproduction of one of the anonymous communications , a poetal card , Thereupon Von Kotzo was arrested - rested and confined In the fortresr. Upon trial he was acquitted of the chiarg s brought against him. CHANGF OF SENTIMENT. While Von Kotze was in prison , the tide of sympathy turned decidedly in his dlrec. tion. Ugly whisperings were heard on all aides , his arrest was openly denounced as an outrage , and the names of a number of very high court personages - ages referred to , including 1)uke Era- est Gunther of Schlesisig-hlolteln , the ) brother-la-law of Emperor William of Gor- canny. In tact , some petBona even bad the audacity to cast the sidelights of suspicion upon a higher person thmnhi Duke Gunther , though it would seem without Just ground 'br so doing. When Count von Kotzo was released from / prlsoib , he promptly sent out challenges to about a dozen of those wTioin Ito believed to have beezi implicated in a plot to ruin hiimii , In order to save the reputation ot the hugh personage , whoever lie amy ho , whie is looked upon as being the real author of the anonymous comniunlcattons. Among tue principal persons challenged worn Iharoit you fleisehach , court marshal to ox-Emperor Frederick of Germany ; flarom ' von Schrader , mitaster of ceromonie , . , of the , I'rusaian court ; Prince von Fuerstenborg and Prince Aribert of t3axe.Aitenburg. A rumor , never substantiated , also had it. that Von ICotso had chalienged Duke Ernest Gunther of Scimlesti ig-hlolstoin , but this has been ilonied , auth is not believed to be true. The first of the proposed series of duels was fought wIth pitohs in the Grunewald , early during the niormiimig of April 13 last , between - tween Count von Kotze nild. Baron von Roischncbi. The latter lied Insisted upon so- yore conditions , namely , that shots would be exchanged uiitll one of the contestants was so badly wounded as to be unable to continue - tinue firIng. Sevemi hots vero exchanged , with the result that both thu count and the baron hind more or less severe flesh wounds. Ilut at the eighth shot Von Kotzo foil with a bullet in tile loin. Ito was taken to a itospital , anti for sonic time his life was despaired - paired of , anti even when the attending physi- cans iironounced that lie would lire , they coupled this statement with the remark that Ito would be crippled for life. . This is prac- tlcally the cas'e , although the count walks witln greater ettee thou was expected , There was some talk of scathing Count von ] Cotze and his opponent to orison for fighting the duel , but there was stichi popular sym- patby for Von JCotze that tue emperor over- hooked the matter on the count's reported promnto to give up his plait of lighting the rest of the series of duels , CIIIPPLED FOR LIFE , however , in Juno last , Von Kotze met Baron von Schirader on the field of honor , woundel him slightly and was again woumithr.tl blmself. For this Von Kotze was sonteuceil. to three months imprisonment In the fortress of Giutz , and on July El Ito gave himself up to tile governor of that place and served his sentence , but ho was treated with the greatest - est consideration , and It wa.s reported omt htls release that ho had promised not to fight aitothior duel , By this thue Von lCotzo had become quite a tiopuier hero , and hue enemies felt very uncomfortable , It is Itossiblo that thl would have beet ) the last of thio series of sluels had It not been for an unhooked for event.

S AMUSEMENTS. ccccoccccccoccOcccoccoc There Were rcniinders of Entina Abbott In the ierformanco lat night of "Lucia" at the Crelghiton. It was one of the operas which she was wont to sing here , and al- with the applause of her following ; last night some of the people pamg In Eli. gush , as all her people used to do ; Charles II. Pratt , who guided the financIal fortunes of "honest Emma" for many years , is managing - aging this company ; and her name was cn the librettos which tite boys , peddled up ard down the aisles , The Tavary company has never been hteard iii Omaha before ; it is the first organization to slag grami opera hero even nartiy In English ineo the ipi- sotle of the ill-fathd festival which Max Maretsek caine on to conduct , three or four ycars ago. If the performance last nlgltt was a fair sample of Its capabilities , it deserves - serves , as a whole , to rank very high among all the companies which hare coiiie offering Italian inulc combined with English speech , always excepting the National Opera corn- patty f a decade since. "Lucia , " as presented last nIght , was a coittlituous triumph , vocally , for the tenor , Guillo. Ills voice is clear , pure , of great range and under excellent control. So thor- oughily favorable was the impressIon created by hIm In this regard that it went far to counteract his deficiencies of stature and presence. lIe was eiithiisiasticaliy recalled after time final curtain , aught have par- ttclpated in Mine , Tavary'ei hearty call after the ( luet in the first act , and was geiterously applauded throughout.

Ma' Eugene hay a baritone voice of great volume and excellent quality , and sang Ashton effect- tveiy. "Cavalierla flusticana , " which folowcd : , was sung On the occasion for the first tinie In Omaha. It is a fortunate Idea to asoclato It with a work so typical of the older rchool of ItalIan composition as "Lucia. " The way Is long foron Donizettl to Mascagni , and the contrast betweut the two operas , in structure and treatment , is suggertive anti full of 'eterost. The later school is as yet too now to be able to show thie long record of popularity which the earlier possesses ; and it is at leat open to question whether "Cavalleria flustlcana" will be as gratefully listened to ( or as patiently tolerated ) fIfty years hence , as "Lucia , " "Travlata" and "Trovatore" arc now. lIe that as it may , Mascagni's brillicet work is a prime favorite at present , as was abundantly attested last night. In one oens , Its sItuatIon in the bill wa.an unfortunate one , for the audience was tired whers the curtain deeotded upon the last gasp of Edgardo ; but "Cavallerla Rurticana" is not a thIng which lets one go to sleep. Aside front the music , which may or may not have the qualIty of permanence - nence , the opera In its short length tells a fierce and haunting story of jealousy and revenge. The opportunities for act'sig of an eniotlonai sort are something extraordinary. One does not recall , out of a reasonably long end , mewhat varied list. of memories , a more finIshed and powerful performance , dramatically considered , than that Madame Theo Dorro as Santuzza. It was so vivId , Co Intense , so full of warm blood that it made the really excellent work of the others in the cast seem tame leside it. Ono does not sa ittuch note her singing , which is well enough ; but her acting Is of a very highs order. Madame Romnani aisa dirpiayed good ahilitic.
