THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 13. 180G. AMUSEMENTS. t The week Just past has marked no epoch H In the theatrical world as locally considered , H With one house dark four-fifths of the time , 9 * \nn < l Hie other taken up with a cheap repertory - -tory company , the feast provided cannot be 3 said lo have been particularly alluring. Ilctter tilings arc promised for the future , I. liowovcr , nnd , ns the theaters are hardly I started' fairly on their respective seasons , it I Is too soon to complain ot dullness. The I Crelghton , after two or three preliminary I engagements , opens Its regular season to- I morrow night , when the admirable company I from the Empire theater , under the dlrec- I tlon of Charles Frohman- will bo seen In a S fir Jtew piny. AX Boyd's the Blttncr company I , f will hold the boards during the first half of Lf the week nnd then go Into the country , I where , with duo respect to it and nil con- I ccrnfd , It properly belongs. Thcro arc 0 -worse organizations traveling nnd less sntli- 1 factory performances given nt higher prlco3 | S than were asked for these ; but this class of | v ntcrtalnmcnt , as was said at the beginning I of the engagement , while It Is likely to I , prove entirely agreeable to rural audiences , [ jwould probably not continue for long to [ f please city theater-goers. A Henderson I , opera company , the some which hns been 1 plnylng the old favorite light operas at the I Schiller theater lu Chicago all summer , will I follow the Hlttncrs at Hoyd's. I Mr. Alston's "Tennessee's Pardnor , " ad- I vcrtlspil ns an adaptation of a story of Bret I Hartc'a , turned out to have so little con- I nectlon with that work of fiction that It J , .would . HCem not to gain prestige by associ ating Bret Harto with it. It tells n good ifltory , hovcver , even If that distinguished author did not write It ; and the fnct that Bcntt Marble's traces have been moro effec tively eliminated from construction and dialogue than his name from the company's "paper" Is distinctly an advantage. Mr. 'Alston took " ' " up "Tennessee's Pardner" lain In the summer , organized his company from the best material available at the time , was obliged to employ the rather queer printed matter left over from a former season of the piece , nnd has done wonders under the circumstances. There are rough edges on the performances at present , but they grow smoother every day , and the work of some Individual members of the company , notably Mr. Hawkins , Miss Corcoran and Miss Wil liams , Is moro than ordinarily good. "Ten- nesieo's Pardner" Is likely to return to the Crelghton later In the scnson , nnd those who see it may bo assured ot excellent en- , tcrtalnment. The announcement that Franz Adclmnnn will lead the orchestra at the Crelghton theater this season Is calculated to give pleasure to the public gen erally , and In particular lo the many professional and social friends of that excellent violinist. A theater audience nowadays gauges the value and quality of an evening's performance almost as much by the Incidental music as by the doings . on the stage. An orchestra which plays good music In a fitting manner has come to bo n very Important adjunct to theatrical representations. No body of musicians cnn nchlovo the best results In this connection 3- by continually stunning the ears of audi ences with the bray of brass and the racket of Instruments of percussion. The old Boyd orchestra , first under Herbert But ler and later directed by Mr. Adelmnnn. achieved a wide and favorable reputation ° th.v"h ) the loeal publlc "l , i . , n " with the theatrical profession for the high quality or Its work. It Is hoped and expected that Mr. Adclmann will succeed In bringing his new players to the some plane of effective ness. ness.Ernest Ernest ' Noidln's engagement by the Boyd management seems n matter ot course , nnd all Interested In theatrical matters have cause for rejoicing that this conscientious nnd hard working player will still bo identi fied with orchestral work In Omaha. The two lenders have merely exchanged theaters each being , as mahy believe , more suitably placed under the noxv arrangement than the old. Mr. Nonlln has gained much favor uy his conduct of various theater orchestras In the past , and will be followed to his now field by hearty Coed wishes for his suc cess. Coining Kvculx. Charles Frohmcn's Empire Stock com pany from Now York , now on Its seventh annual tour , will be seen at the Crelghton for three nights , commencing tomorrow evening , opening the regular season at that house. It has been Mr. Frohman's purpose In organizing this company to make It per fectly symmetrical and evenly balanced , a collection of players at home equally in il lustrating the lightest comedies and the most Intense dramas. Within the last few ycara the Empire Stock , both at Its own theater and In the leading cities through out the country , has appeared In the plays of the most distinguished dramatists of this country , of England nnd of Franco. The tin Inn o manner In which Its members have Interpreted these plays has become very well known to all these nt all Interested In the best kind of drama and dramatic ex pression , Mr. Frohman announces the following list of actors to appear hero as members of the Empire Stock. The leading heroic role will bo played by William Faversham , and Viola Allen continues as leading woman. Others especially worthy of mention , whose names mean qulto as much as any adjective de scription , are ; J. E. Dodson , Ferdinand Oottschalk , Robert Edeson , E. Y. Backus , William H. Croinpton , Charles Day. Jamison Leo Fliiney. Ocorgo 0. Pearcs. Ida Conquest , May Itobson , Jane Hnrwar , Ellen Gall , Lotta Nlcol and Katheflno Mulleins , The tilay In which the company will ap pear hero for the first two nights of the engagement Is entitled "Bohemia. " It IB adapted to Clyde Fitch from the French of Henri J.lurger and Theodore Harrlere. The piece ran moro than 100 nights nt the Em pire theater In Nov : York. Us production In that city being cut short merely because the end of the season had been reached. ThoV-tory of "Bohemia" concerns a poet wlioso undo wishes the hero to marry a Parisian society woman for money. Thu poet , however , Is averse to this scheme , and consequently departs from his uncle's coun try placn for the mysterious realms of Bo hemia In the Latin quarter ot Paris. He wishes to Reck out there a party of blltho- s&ino nml Impecunious y iiug men and women that had Included him ono day In a picnic In the environs of his uncle's house. The remainder of the play Is taken up with the exposition ot the joys and griefs of the poet nnd his now found friends , who are out nt pocket nnd nt elbow , and who arn generally moro full of optimism than of nourishing fnnd. This galaxy of French characters Includes a painter , n musician , a volatile young girl typical of her surround ings , an eccentric lodging1 house keeper and ! \llml \ , a young milliner , the heroine. The efforts , temporarily successful , of the uncle of to separate the pool and Mlml and accom plish the marriage of the former In society make the clash of Interest and the main situations. "The Benefit of the Doubt , " which the company will present on Wednesday night , li a now comedy In three acts by Arthur Plncro. author of "Sweet Lavender , " "Lady llountlful , " "Tho Second Mrs. Tanqueray , " "The Amazons , " and other well known plays. It Is presented by arrangement with Daniel Frohman of the Lyceum theater of New York , where the play enjoyed n highly successful run Immediately following Its bu Initial production In London. There Is prob ably no dramatist of todsy that Is more skilled In thu art of delineating graphically all kinds of characters. Plnero'a facility la this direction has been likened to that of Thackciay , In "Tho Benefit of the Doubt" wo are presented to an unhappy wlfu to whom the judge in an action for separation has just given the benefit of the doubt : that la to say , he permit * her to / vrln the case , but leaves a cloud hovering I over her. This character will bo assumed I by Viola Alien , tbe charming leading woman I of the company , The name of this personage - [ ago Is Tbeophlla Fraser. The doubt and I uncertainty on the part of her husband and I the anguish and jealouuy of tbe wife of I the man with whom Tboophlla'v name has Is I teen linked , the perplexity and despair of the man himself , aad notably a wonderful , original scene toward the middle ot the R , Play , In which Theopblln , quite weak and rf exhausted , through the influence ot A very of I' ' slight amount of wine , given her as a re- i I iterative , moves throu h a highly dramatic ; I drunken scene all thes condition * and clr- I cutmtance * uo taa.Ho clear and effective by the playwright before the play ends sue- cesstully with the clearing of Theophlla. A strain of comedy. Involving some shrewd ly drawn MtlrlcM types of English life lends n contrast to the piece. The scenes arc laid nt the house of a Mrs. Rmptago In the neighborhood of Regents' park , Lon don , nnd at the Mchens , the cottage of "the mnn In the case , " at Epson. The inntlnec bill which will bo offered Wednesday will be H. C. Carton's charming play , "Liberty Hall , " which Is remembered with sincere pleasure by nil who were so fortunate a.i to see Its pioductlon by this company last season. There Is much pathos In "Liberty Hall , " but there Is also much humor , and as It Is by the happy combina tion of these two qualities that the most prosperous plays are evolved , Mr. Carton's comedy-drama i.i nlwayn welcome hero. Us plot brings prominently forward two at tractive- English girls , played by Viola Allen nnd Ida Conquest , who have been rich , but v.lio are suddenly left alone In the world and Impecunious. Their relative , Mr. Owen ( played by William Kavcrsham ) , to whom U willed the fortune they might have received , appears masqtierftdlng as merely a , friend of his , and tries to persuade the sisters to remain on at the family mansion. This supposed friend , falling In love with the Hdcr sister , scclis her out In the humble homo of her old uncle , who Is In the busi ness of running a circulating library. H Is only after ho has won the heroine on his own merits that the hero divulges that ho Is .Mr. Owen. Just honr ho wins on hiu own merits , and Just what other dramatic matters are In the play. It Is the province of the playwright , rather than the paragraph- Is ! , to disclose. William H. Cromplon , who made an Important hit In the role of the old librarian-uncle during his appearance hero last season , will again appear In his original character. May Uobson. Ferdi nand Oottschalk nnd various others will also nppear In parts they have made personal successes. The Henderson Cornle Opera company from the Schiller theater , Chicago , will be seen hero Thursday , Friday and Saturday nights nnd at a Saturday "bargain day" matinee at Hoyd's theater. Tills organiza tion has made a remarkable record for the past twelve weeks In Chicago , and It Is snld that the productions , as to caste , scenery and costumes , are fully up to tbo nigh standard set In Chicago by David Henderson in his famous extravaganza pro ductions. The costumes are said to bo accurate , and the scenery to bo In accord ance with the requirements of the plots. ' Calfo's opera , "The Hohemlan Girl , " will bo the opening attraction on Thursday night. Tlllle Salinger will be the Arllne of this production ; Catherine McNeal will bo the f ypsy quean ; Miss Thayer , ATcssrs. McWadc , Stephens and others , In the organization , will assume leading roles. On Friday night. Gilbert nnd Sullivan's " " "Mikado" will be presented , with the full strength of the Henderson company. Costumes and scenery will bo on as grand n scale ns when It received Its first production nt the Savoy theater , London. Saturday matlneo and evening , Planquette's "The Bells of Corne- vlllo" often called "The Chimes of Nor mandy , " will produced by this organiza tion. The cast will be the same as eeen In the opera at the Schiller theater. Tlllle Salinger , who is said to bear a striking resemblance to Lillian Russell , is an Austrian prlma donna , \vho has won a great reputation In San Francisco. Boston , and during the past twelve weeks In Chicago. She will sing the part of Scrpolette. Beatrice McKcnzle , the prlma donna of the Wang company last season , will play the part o Germalnc. John McWade , baritone , who has won a reputation in nearly all the famous opera companies of the past fifteen years , will play the part of the marquis , while William Stephens , tenor , who has made himself a nsrao In connection with the Soldi nnd Damrcsch orchestras , nnd Gilmoro's band , also In the grand opeia companies of Emma Juch and Tavary , will play the part of Grcnlchcux. Otis B. Fair , regarded by the press of Chicago as one of the best Guspards seen In that city ; will play the part of the miser. The company numbers some sixty people. The orchestra will be under the direction of William F. Glover , who for many years was conductor at the Savoy theater In London , rnd enjoys the fameot being the original leader of the first production of "The Bella of Cornevlllo" In London. Manager Hendcr- conjp scheme In this organization has been to model It upon some of the most famous opera companies In the past In this country and of the present In England. Notwith standing the magnitude of this organization the new regular prices of the theater will prevail. Maharn's colored minstrels will be the at traction at the Crclghton for two perform ances today , n popular-priced matinee being given at 2:30. : The company , which Is an nounced as being a largo and competent , one , succeeded In pleasing during Its recent engagement In this city and is promised to return with a galaxy of minstrel talent , which It Is said will Introduce many novel and Interesting specialties. The engage ment will bo for two performances only. Since the opening of the Blttncr engage's ' ment at Boyd's the company has grown steadily In popular favor , nnd an increased attendance has been the rule. It Is good to see a repertory company whbre all the people I Jv nro equally balanced and capable , nnd the f plays produced are carefully and conscicn- tlously rendered. The dressing of this com pany is especially worthy of mention. This J afternoon , by special request , "Friends" will A again bo repeated , nnd tonight the sensa- " tlonnl comedy , "Tho Lightning Express , " "i with special scenic effects , will bo the play. th The great success remarked last season In thT the comical barnyard scene of "In Old Ken T lucky" has naturally given birth to a horde Pi of Imitators , and , no doubt , there will be BP other Pickaninny bands and "buck" dancers " submitted fur public approval during the jjj present theatrical campaign. The public , tli however , is not slow to distinguish the spurious from the genuine , nnd It Is likely thm that "In Old Kentucky's" clever little darkles m will occupy llrst place for many seasons to ar come. They will shortly bo seen at the Boyd. a The comic opera , "Said Pasha , " composed by HlchnrJ Stahl , will bo presented at the Crelghton theater on Sunday night , Sep tember 20 , by the Young and Lindsay Co of lumbia Opera company , The company Is announced as consisting of excellent talent and ns being evenly balanced. Mr. Seaman It Is the leading tenor and 'Kittle Marcellus the prlma donna , Vivian Kossltcr , Jessie Mayhow , Jack Henderson and George ICnn- kol , Charles K. Ilnntlngton , A , E , Krocmcr " and 1'hln Narcs are the principals In this opera. The chorus Is promised to bo ex ceptionally strong and the orchestra Is one the special features. Other popular operas will bo presented during the company's is week stay nt the Crelghton. ho the The coming one week's engagement of a HIchard Mansfield , which Is announced for the Crelghton in the near future , should prove a niagnet of sulllclent power to nil Paxton & Burgess' popular theater to over flowing at each performance. During his the stay hero Mr. Mansfield will produce all of the the greater successes with which ho has to been Identified. Ho will be supported by company of seventy-five. Each play will presented with elaborate scenic Investi to ture. M a Mr. Bl' day to discharge 400 rifle bullets a minute , and The continues at that rate- - Tlmi rateuntil the marksman mi wants to stop. More than that. It flrca it tu self , only requiring to be aimed. It Is the to Colt automitl . towl ; gun. who Tulawonderful mm weighs only forty be pounds , says the New York Journal. It bewi a magazine .rltle , with one barrel , the tw caliber ot which Is the same as that of has tbo Improved rifle uowljr adopted by the. navy , a little less than a quarter of an Inch. This means that the bullet , which U lead , with a ateel Jacket , Is much less in at diameter than an ordinary lead pencil , Tbe the bullet Is about an inch long , almost cylin va drical la sliape , tapering Jiouiowhat and cert rounded at tne front tud , TUB gun ills- chargei seven of these projectiles each second end and they leave the muytlo of thft weapon with a velocity ot nearly half a mile a second. The rapidity of discharge Is BO tremendous deus that there seems to bo a continuous stream ot bullets flying from the muzzle ot the gun. So great Is their velocity , how ever , that there Is actually an Interval of 300 feet between each two. Cartridges are fed to the weapon automatically by feed belts which arc celled 'n boxes and readily attachable to the breech. The boxes hold from 100 to 500 cartridges. 'All the marks man has to do Is to pull the trigger once and the qun goes on firing of Its own ac cord as loni , ' as the cartridges are supplied. In short , the Instrument Is a repeating rifle with an Inexhaustible magazine and a rapidity of flro that Is almost Inconceivable. It usts the same bullets as the new navy rlflo and they are discharged with the same velocity , hut the discharge Is automatic , the flrlns mechanism being operated by powder gan. gan.Tho weapon may be carried comfortably In a "bot > t" at the side of a trooper's horse. Ordinarily , on land , It Is designed to be mounted for action upon n light tripod. U Is provided with a pivot , set Into a socket on the tripod or Into a similar socket on the rail of a vessel. Alt the ships of the navy will soon be provided with these guns , Ono of these weapons at a distance of a mile might mow down an entire regiment within tno minutes , no that hardly a mnn would be left unwounded. The Colt gun Is sighted ordinarily for 2,000 yards , which Is n. little over a mile , but It Is ns effective nt twice that distance. However , It Is not prnctlca blc to fire at Individuals beyond 2,000 yards. Tlio marksman uses both hands In aiming the gun , whether it is set on a tripod or on the rail of a vessel. It responds so readily to adjustment that he Is able to wrlto his naino with bullets upon a good-sized target , and to do It with considerable rapidity. If the weapon is mounted on a tripod , ho seats himself on a saddle that looks like a bicycle saddle , attached to the leg ot the tripod , which projects toward the rear. The saddle Is so adjusted that his eye Is brought dl rcctly tu lluo with the sight of the weapon. Pulling the trigger once he simply holds It back ns long as ho desires the gun to keep on firing , varying the aim just as a person directing a garden lioao would do. It Is not necessary to go Into politics or to read books upon political economy lo apprehend the fact that it Is a good thing to build up one's own town. Whatnver m.iy bo our ideas of protection and reciprocity In International affairs , wo are constantly applying the principles they Involve to our everyday life. Wo protect our Inter ests wherever wo can and wo reclprocato the good that Is done us bv our fellows If we wish to encourage them to continue It. When each man protects himself all nrc protected ; when each man reciprocates thu good done him by others , good is done to all. for all the Individual members of a community are Interdependent. No ono can get along without the rest. In developing the music In a city like ours It Is neces sary that those who are able by nature and training to forward It should get together and one assist another. This Is not only true of those In the profession , but of tbo vast concourse of intelligent peonlo who make up the public. In this co'intry ' the nmateur is a power. He Is In many ways the arbiter of our musical destiny. He Is the musical wealth of the community , and where gold , and silver are not to be lud his talent and enthusiasm take Us place nnd carry forward the cause of art with courage and success of a hero. What the amateur element In n community rajs must bo will be , If It Is united ; separated It Is powerless except to urevcnt. Among the profession too much union , tao much centralization , Is bad , for It confines Indi vidual action and prevents Individual growth. But In a city like ours r.o union , no centralization , means slin'ily stagnation. Musical Interest Is contagious nml It re sults from a most Intimate relationship , between those who are musically miJoned and inclined. Much has been sui'l of the value of n musical atmosphere ; only those who have lived in it can nppieriate It , When those who love music for Its nwn sake get together and associate themselves In musical enterprises of mutual nd comf man Interest , get acquainted with each other and learn to enjoy each o'h-jr , con- btttute themselves envoys to th ? world at large and begin actively to nrcich and practice the gospel of the dlviuo art Uio rising sun of a glorious ( lev will bn but Just below the horizon ; the dawn will le at hand. The professional musician's position In the community Is a peculiar one largely , per haps , because ho makes It so. With his eyes fastencQ closely upon his art and often upon what ho can get out of It he Is unable to understand why people In general do not see things Just ns ho sees them. Often his business training has been neglected and he forgets to count the cost of his enterprises. The business man counts that first and fre quently goes no further. The musician all alone Is powerless , and nothing is accom plished. In the present condition of business nfbst musical enterprises ought to be so man aged that they will support themselves. It tiuo that some cannot do this ; public Interest Is not sufficient to Insure the re quired number of patrons. Hard times re duces the number. A logical conclusion would bo to adapt the enterprise to these facts and conduct It accordingly , ever striv ing to Increase thp percentage of the popula- tlon that Is Interested enough in musical matters to buy tickets. It Is a part of the business of the professional musician to con tinually ' , strive to do this. In that way only can ho place his art upon a firm finan cial basis. Wlut the whole people want that they will have. Let UB try hen and lead the whole people to want tho'best of music. To ( this end ' every teacher , every singer and player , sh'ovjld bo n center of power and In spiration , around whom might be found these who : need to bo supplied from without with comn of tlio sacred fire from the altar ot the Divine Art. There Is no danger that there will ho too many such centers and there Is no danger that there will bo too much flro , If It bo of the right kind. There are said to be fires and fires , * * The utterjionsenso which often serves for comic opera plot is made conspicuous In the Muslclal Courier of September 2 by Its Boston correspondent , Mr. Philip Dale. Sorne time ngo Mr. George W. Chadwlck and one his harmony pupils composed the music for n comic opera , called "Tobasco. " It certainly was not "hot stuff , " or If It was cooled rapidly. So far as Is known thn only good thing about It was that It died early. Tlio following Is quoted from Mr , Dole : "Here Is the subject for a comic opera , and I give It freely to any Inspired composer. Almanzampo , chief of a Peruvian tribe , loves Malda , who of course loves another. Al manzampo , In addition to a breaking heart , afflicted with chills and fever. Desparlng , tries to poison himself , and he drinks water of a pool In which the trunks of tree called Klna , said to bo poisonous , have been lying for many , many years. Ho recovers , for he has partaken of the world- famous bark of Peru. Never mind what follows. The Ingcnlus comedian who fats part of Almanzampo will easily supply rest. " U seems ns If Mr. Dale refers the abdominal preponderance which is of characteristic of great monarclm who lead sedentary lives and were born hungry ; also the undisputed genius of the average comedian to gag everything but himself. , Halo concludes ; "There lias been an operetta Tobasco , why should there not bo Quinine ? " A nt The Chicago Festival orchestra , of which . Adolph Hosonbecker Is conductor , will give ' two concerts at Boyd'g theater Wednesday afternoon and evening , September 23 , regular prices Inaugurated by the new 3 management will prevail , and an oppor tunity will bo given to every music lover near a great orchestra under a leader has held bis own in Chicago right beside the giant Theodore Thomas. The writer has known Mr. Hosenbecker for some twelve years , and during that period he proven himself one of the most suc cessful conductors In the country , A musical was given Thursday evening the Pilgrim Congregational church by Cappella Ladles' quartet , at which a varied program was presented , The con was under the direction of Mr. Kratz.

The reception committee has asked thU column to request all th& representatives and the frlenls who accompany them to wear pink ribbons when they arrive In the city. 13y this means HID labors of the committee will bo decreased , as they will not need to search the crowds for the visitors. The visitors will bo benefltled , for If they are known when they alight from the trains the members of the committee will not bo likely to overlook any. Tlio neat building of the order on the State fair grounds was an object of interest nnd a most pleasing resting place for the many out-of-town members of the order during State fair week. The structure was crowded almost dally , and especially upon the t heavy days of the fair. The visitors were all satisfactorily looked after , and departed with pleasant recollections of thel * brethren In this city.

In There Is but little doubt that he has causelessly - lessly frightened more human beings , within the past ten years , than any other man. In the latter part of March last one of his tc prophesies caused much alarm and suffering among thousands of the people of Chill , and th they are hardly over their scare yet. This how ho did it : to Some weeks before the predicted "critical" day was to occur ho announced that March tic 9'would bo a particularly bad time for a part of Chill's coast. The people under ticAl stood from the cable dispatch that reached Al them from Vienna that not only would the lit land bo shaken to and fro and the earth yawn open , but also that n mighty earth Ct quake wave would probably overwhelm the ye shores , Indicting great damage nnd causing yeI largo loss of lite unless the people took the ye precaution to gut beyond Its reach. In When this news came to Chill It created conKternntlon among a great many people , son particularly In the city of Valparaiso. Their nerves had already been badly shaken , for pr they had actually experienced a strong shock of earthquake on March 13 , sixteen are days before Falb's "critical" day. They Mi were prepared to believe almost anything ; nnd \ hen the famous earthquake prophet of thmi Vienna , the astronomer , the mathematician , mi the author of books on meteorology , ncls- miPt mology and other more or less recondite Pt topics , sent them word that they might ex lug pect the very worst on March 29 , there was Inha In the minds of Just one thought uppermost ha who pinned a particle of faith to Falb , III and that was to get to the other slda uf the danger line before the coming of the fatal day. rc The estlmatea of the Valparaiso news tli papers as to the number of persons who ( led from that city vary from 6,000 to 10,000. ca On no train that left Valparaiso after the a morning of March 26 was there any unap tip propriated standing room. People were glad they had only a elianeo to Bit on the car Pi steps. Many persons In outlying towns were Pius filled with dismay because they were not CO able to crowd Into the cars. Everybody woo bound for the foot hills of the Andrs , and til there they landed without any provision for thIn their comfort or any adequate arrange thm ments for the sustenance. The ranch own In ers , the small farmers , tbe dwellers In tbo hamlets did not realize what a windfall lot waa coming to them until the trains unloaded the loaded at their gates. Every building on tbe ranches to the cattle sheds EC , even , every the miserable hut on the hillsides , was at once demand at enormous prices for the pur cr poses of bhelter. There had been the most harrowing scenes when the trains left Valparaiso. Probably m cot a scientific man In the world of acknowl IT edged reputation has the slightest faith In of the theory upon which Falb bases his earth 7:30 : quake predictions. Consequently , in all large communities , there Is always a small th number of men , respected for their scientific op attainment * , who do their very best to calm loC. the people and belittle Falb OB a prophet C.CO whenever he favors a region with a prediction COda tion of Impending catasliortc. These men hac considerable influence In Valparaiso. day Fortified by tlielr opinions icauy of the people two ple declared that they would remain at twwi home and calmly attend to their business. on Thus muny families \sero divided , some of onm the members declining to Join In the fight ; at and In tbo street ? and at the railroad ita- do tlon many mothers and Bister * were seen , the tears streaming down their facts , vainly begging their dearest relatives or friends to go with them to a. placeof safety. The ) ' did not eharo , they could not understand , the cheerful confidence with which many friend elected to remain at home. I'p to the last moments they pleaded , with an guish In their hecrts ami voices , and the scenes of parting were most painful , Safe nt last , under the shadow of the mountains , they could rcjolco In their o\\n security , but were tortured with arprehonslon for the fate of those who were left behind. Well , the "critical day , " ( Falb always calls the dnys ho marks for calamity krltlschcn paRe , " ) came and went. Val pnrnlso was not herself by any means , It was to be expected that mast of the places of business would be closed , for It was Sunday. But there were no throngs of church goers or amusement seekers , nnd the streets were as silent as the gravti nfter nn early hour In the morning , for most of those who were left In town repaired to open spaces outside the city , where they would be In less danger If anything really did happen. U was believed .by these whom Fnlb had most Impressed thnt the really critical tlmo would come during the night. The only phenomenon observed wns that the night wns painfully still. There nr streets In Vnlparnlso where there Is nlwnya moro or less traffic In the night time , but not a wagon rumbled through the thorough fares , No dnmago was done , except that which Falb himself caused , Herr Rudolf Falb hns often been called n charlatan , Ho Is not a chnrlntan. No ono over believed moro thoroughly In n theory nnd In himself than Fnlb docs. Ho Is hohest In his faith , respectable In his at tainments , and untiring In his ndvocncy ot the theory of earthquakes which ho orig inated. For thcso reasons ho has been able to attract mnny readers nnd to win qulto n largo following among the unsci entific. These who live whcro earthquakes nro frequent hnvo known of him for yoarsi and hnvo read much thnt ho has written. Ho founded an astronomical journal , thnt still flourishes. Ho hns written two books on astronomy , two on meteorology , four on earthquakes and vulcanlsm , Including his "Catalogue of Critical Days , " and other works. He has predicted earthquakes far certain days and districts In regions where these phenomena nro very frequent , nnd his predictions have coma true , nnd at such times Falb's theory has enjoyed a trt mondous boom. South Omaha News. M. F , Goodrich nnd his father-in-law , Ncls . Johnson , became engaged In a dispute over domestic affairs at their homo In Albright diy yesterday < afternoon and Goodrich struck Johnson on the head with a bottle. The bot. tlo was broken at the first blow and then Goodrich picked up a piece of the broken glass and cut his father-in-law again on the side of the face below the ears.

SIMltNOS AMI CAVISS. l'rnnnlvnnln I'mmrimrii n Number of Mntnrnl Ciirliiflllir * . Pennsylvania possesses n number ot ro- m.trkAblc springs. The big spring of Hello- fonte , tlio "Beautiful Fount. " from which' the town derives It * name , and which pours forth 250,000 gallons per mlmito , has had Us t.tory repeatedly told. Hut almost \\lthln the limits of DclMonto Is Another spring , never mentioned , almost unknown because ot Its ilvnl In the borough , which , for purity and outpour. Is ns largo ns the one In the town , A pure crjstal stream of wnlcr to feet deep nnd ten wide , rays the PlttMjurg l > ls- pntch gushes forth nil the yi-nr round , nml the temperature varies but 2 degrees , being thnt much w armor In the winter than In the sum mer. Then them Is the spring nt Axcmann , another very largo ono ; but among thn mar velous . springs In this section Is tbo famous Hock | Springs. There the water gushes , forth from n cnvo In the rock , fully ten fcot high and twenty feet wide , with a clearness that { rivals oven the crystal. No win has ever been severe enough to even make the water of n murky color , Prom out of the depths of the cavernous rock come various speci mens ot the finest fish , among them beliiR the delicious mountain trout , nnd although they cnn bo seen coming out , no one has over born able to sea a single fish sjwlm I Into the cave. Whether they nro bred under ground , or whore they come from , Is a mys tify thnt haa never been fathomed. I Another remarkable sprhlg Is In Hunting don county , near the old furnace by thnt name. There the cn\ern which Is the out let of the spring Is ot such dimensions that n team of horseR cnn be driven Into It fern n considerable distance. Ton rods from Its source the spring Riven n stream of suf ficient power to run a largo grist mill , nnd It was never known to bo too low for thla use. Then there Is the "Hluo Spring" In Bald Bagle vnlloy , named so because when looked Into tbe water seems as blue as indigo. This Is becnuso of Its great depth , a matter which , to this day , Is an unsettled question. The spring , which , In appearance , Is like a well , about four feet In diameter , has been sounded to a depth ot several hun dred feet without finding any bottom. The water Is near enough to the top so that n man cnn llo down and drink from the spring. In the same section of country nro many caves _ , some ot which nro ns yet unexplored. One . of the most recent discoveries In this direction Is an underground cavern near V.r park on the line of the Central Itall- road of Pennsylvania. Although the cave has not yet been fully Investigated , It has been explored sufficiently to warrant the assertion that It will prove a very fair rival attc the famous cave In Pennsvalley , Cen ter county. _ _ Many a day's won : U lost by lcU head ache , caused by Indigestion and stomach troubles.
