Tributes to the Memory of
Andrew Jackson Poppleton.
At the adjourned meeting of the Omaha
liar association , held September 2 ? , 1WO ,
ftt 3 p. m. . at the county court house In the
city of Omaha , for the purpose of receiving
the report of the committee on resolutions
In respect to the death of Andrew J. Popple-
ton , the following tributes were paid to his
jncmory by leading members of the Doug
fc * ' las county bar :
U Illllllll I ) . IllM-U.-tl.
ff
l-'or the past few years I have had a somc-
what morn than ordinary acquaintance with
Mr Popploton. Necessarily , It was upon a
different footing from that of his old friends
nnd associates , hut perhaps for that very
reason It may suggest some things of Interest
it
i est additional to what they have given us
out of the treasures of tholr recollections.
At the tlmoof which I epuak Mr. Popple-
ton was In the evening of his life , not only
In a figurative sense. , but In another and a
sadder one. For him the evil days which
long ago the wise man foretold to youth , had
come. The sun and the moon and the
lights were darkened , the clouds had re
turned after thn rain , nnd those that looked
out of the windows , were darkened.
Yet Mr. Poppleton was not nn old man ns
that term Is generally understood. Neither
dcslro nor power had failed. Ho was a
Samson In captivity ; helpless to use his
strength , but not shorn of It. The Impres
sion which under these circumstances he
made upon one who was separated from him
by n generation of years , may contribute In
Komo degree to an estimate of his char
acter. , . . . .
First of all , then , It pcemed to mo that
Mr Poppleton wan a serious-minded man.
Thcro was no room In his strenuous nature
for anything light or trivial. Ho was not
glvrn to Jesting , and even ot humor , In its
best sense , ho possessed but little.
Mfe nnd the affairs of life had for him a
real and deep Import. Instinctively , as well
ns from habit , ho engaged himself only
with matters of concern. Amusement
diversion would not only have been un
congenial to him , but no doubt they would
liave saemcd like an abandonment of his
trust.
I think that Mr. Popplcton's seriousness
nrose partly from his mental honesty.
There was no trick or mystery In bin mental
processes. He knew of no way to remove
difllcultlps except to grapple with them and
overthrow them. Sturdily , patiently nnd
laboriously ho had fought the Ills of life
nud when he could no longer light them ho
bore thrin manfully.
The next Impression ho made upon me , n
subordinate one , I might say. was that he was
n practical minded man. lly practical , however -
over I do not mean commonplace. Upon
political and social subjects particularly he
wns a thinker of great originality. In
deed , upon those subjects be might almost
bo said to be n speculator. Yet in oil his
conversation them was a recognition of
humanity as It Is , with Its foibles , Its
prejudices and its Inherited opinions. This
gave a strong practical cast to his views , so
that they seemed to be a blending of his
thought and experience. Ills thought saved
them from being commonplace nud his ex
perience saved them from being visionary.
It was eald by Judge Wakeley that he
did not understand how In the presence of
nuch a life It could bo asked whether life
was worth living. As It happens , shortly
after his last affliction the death of his
grandson--I saw Mr. Poppleton and he spoke
upon that very subject. Ho asked me If I
had read Mallock's "Is Life Worth Living. "
1 replied that I bad. "Well , " said be , "It Is
a question. This is a hard world. There Is
n. good deal of happiness In It , but there Is
moro misery and the misery Is more
certa'n. ' " Ho did not say this In n pes-
r.lmlstlc . spirit , but as one who knew the
Inevitable Ills of life , who bad met them at
their worst , and was ready to take them
without complaining , as the ancient
philosopher took the poisoned cup.
Another thins about Mr. Poppleton : He
never made anyone feel small or inferior In
Ills presence. In this , to my mind , he
answered one cf the best tests ot real great
ness. True greatness , In any man , does not
Bhnw Itself by contrast with others , so that
they feel themselves less. On the contrary ,
really great man makes others f-pl thorn-
solves greater by reason of their kinship to
him. We take larger breaths In the prrmice
of such a man , and our manhood Is
strengthened by bis touch. 1 think Mr.
Poppleton met this teat. No cue could come
from his presence without some additional
Inspiration to do what was beat and
worthiest for n man to do. He could feel
that In some sense ho was bis equal ; that
lie possessed In some degree the same
nsplratlcns and the same sources cf power.
Mr. Poppleton , at the time I knew him ,
WOH a simple , unaffected , strong and stim
ulating personality. Though lil.i day oi
work and strife was over , he still wrought
good In the world , and even now , though
Ills hand has vanished and his voice Is
still. Ills works llvo after him.

As oneof the younger members of this
liar and one of the younger men who have
had the high privilege of enjoying the
personal friendship ot Andrew J. Popple-
ton It seems to mo that the question sug
gested by Judge Wakeloy has been an-
Hwerod by thosu tributes paid by the giants
of our bar to this great and good man who
lias gene before. Mr. Poppleton's lite an-
swera the question , "Is llfo worth living ? "
The life of any man who holds up the stand
ard of a great nnd honorable profession
no that when ho Is gene such tributes as
these arc paid , answer It all. The honor
of the profession , the honor of the man ,
the struggle : ! ot his life. Its palim , Its la
bors IIH persistent work , Its accomplish
ments , have all been fully recognized when
the leaders of the bar , the leaders of the
community , those men who began life with
him , and walked with him , ami struggled
with him. fin him and against him , come
before us nnd say to us and to all men , that
In all hU professional and private life
them is not n stain or a mark. I never
Unew Mr. Poppleton In Hit early days , or
nt any tlim > ( ns an orator. I believe that
I never heard him , except on three occa
sions , p.eaoil any matter for the consid
eration of courts , and I never heard him
except In the courts. I want to say that
Mr Poppleton demonstrated his greatness
ns a lawyer In thu privacy of his olllce as
jnucli as In the forum or before Iho courts.
It has been my privilege to know Intimately
the course of Mr. Popplcton'H work as a
lawyer , In the ofllce , nnd In tlm confidences
which \-ata \ between lawyer and client. Mr.
1'opplcton has been referred to ns the builder

I the 'archives of that office , the story of
patient labor , careful thought , profound con
sideration for the people ; for the pccplo
among whom he lived as well as for HIP
corporation whlrh he served. That record
Is a monument Itself to the strength of this
man's rharnrtcr us mtat as nny that eoul 1
ho raised for him anywhere. Mr. 1'oppleton
was slrotiR. Xo question of policy dis
cussed with the corporation he Bcrved or
dlsriisied for It but what received his
best thought. He fearlessly stated his view
of the law , nnd of the lo al rlsht. and if
there was any < iucstlon of public pollry
which mlRht tend to shock , to alarm , or to
do Injustice , he was fearless In presenting
what ho helleved to he right In such mat
ters. In his later days I have had to fol
low In the paths laid out by Mr. I'opplctnn
yearn ago for the company , nnd for those
who had charge of Its operations , or of
that portion of the railroad servlro closest
to the people. Through all his policies ono
thing wns prominent , so far as the relation
of the property and Its management was
concerned In respect of Us obligation to the
people with whom It did business , that la ,
the element of Justice nnd fairness. This
Andrew J. Poppleton always has Insisted
upon.
I have known Mr. I'oppleton In the sense
cf onu who works In the service. I learned
to love him as a man , nnd to revere him as
ono of the leaders of the profession. Never
In my knowledge of him was his Htamlnrd
of professional honor lowered , nnd every
word of advice Klveti by him wns In the
line of an elevated standard of professional
honor and courtesy.
If. brethren of the bar , when wo depart ,
tributes sneh as those whlfh have heen glvc.i
here this afternoon come to us , we may
well say "Life has been worth living. "
Let un hold up the standard of our grand
and glorious profession.
( iroriic ( ) . On lit or.
A great nnd good man has fallen to the
earth and the earth has again received him
unto herself , and I am here to give my
humble tribute of affection nnd admiration
to htm who has gone from among us for
ever. I remember very well the llrst time
I saw and heard Mr. Poppleton ; It was In
the old Uoyd opera house , nt a meeting
called In the Interest of prisoners ami
prl-son reform. I remember well the Im
passioned plea for thu unfortunate nnd dis
tressed , the direct recognition on his part
of the fatherhood of Almighty Oed In com
parison with whom wo arc all as nothing ,
t'nl of the brotherhood of nil mankind.
Then , for the first time , Mr. Chairman , I
both heard nnd saw eloquence. I heard
eloquence from those lips silent now nnd
silent forever ; 1 saw eloquence beaming
from the eye , Informing his every feature ,
until to me the man approached sublimity.
What he said at that time made a pro
found Impression upon those who heard
him , so much so as to myself that , though
years have since Intervened , I have not and
never will forget. It was In t-ITect that
prisons were established primarily for the
protection of society , not for the purpose of
punishment and vengeance toward the In
dividual ; that the surest way to guard
against crlnio Is by educating the mind , by
fostering and developing the higher ethical
sense , especially In view of the fact that
one appreciable source'of criminal conduct
Is to be found In the degenerate organism
of the criminal and of his class In society.
Uemember , said he , that any man , how
ever debased , however low In the social
scale , oven though a convict , Is still u man for
a" that. Then was revealed to me the mind ,
the heart , the soul of Andrew J. I'opple
ton. And the lesson Imparted by him at
thnt meeting was this : That In whatever
vocation of life we may be however cir
cumscribed or limited our sphere of action
may bo , yet' llvo not for yourself alone , but
for others. That at least was the lesson
taught me.
In the presence of death we are till equal.
I know full well how to sympathize with
the widow who has lost u loving companion.
I know full well how to sympathize with
the sons and daughters who have lest an
honored and respected father. Hut to them
I < -an say , as 1 believe , that although his
sun Is set upon this earth. It has risen in
the realms of the Infinite ; that he passed
away as the morning star which goes not
down behind the darkening west nor hides
obscure nmld the tempests of the sky , but
fades away iiuo the very light of heaven.

It comes to many men to achieve fame. It
eomes to many to achieve fortune and suc
cess , but those are rare Indeed who the
record being made and "Life's fitful fever
o'er" are pointed out as distinctive and em
phatic examples for their race.
As I listened to our brethren who have
spoken so eloquently and feelingly It seemed
to me that tholr tributes to Mr. Poppleton
had referred to those mental characteristics
that nro the result of education
and training ; the attributes of the
head rather than those of the heart ,
and I feel that If there was any particu
lar nnd distinctive feature In the makeup
of Mr. Poppleton It was that heai pos
sessed of those higher and more lovable
attributes that como from the heart rather
than the head.
It Is said that he was reserved , and not
communicative. In an acquaintance of
thirty years with Mr. Poppleton I never
found him so. True , ho did not "wear his
heart upon his sleeve for daws to peck
at , " but no man had moro hearty generosity
and feeling for his fellow men. Older than
myself , and having an experience that
I may never hope to have , I
never during my life In
Omalm hesitated to go to him , advantaging
myself of that ripe experience , .is I would
go to an older brother for consolation and
advice , nnd received from him always , not
only words of wisdom , based upon his
broad oliHcrvntlon and splendid career , but
words of encouragement , for ono of the
chief charncterlitlcs ot Mr. Popplctnnwas
that the element of envy wns not In his
make-up. Ho desired the advancement of
all those with whom IIP came In contact ,
especially those of his own profession ; his
earnest wish seemed to be to help others
In the particular achievement wished for
by them , either In advancement In their
calling or In a-.iy other which they might
dpslro.
Wo differed In politics , yet I recall with
sad pleasure that during the years of my
Ilfo when I was not In the practice of the
profession , but In public life , that there
came to me from him on several occasions
letters thnt I cherlfh .among my moat
precious belongings , words of commenda
tlon Homctlmes , and again , at times , ( hose' '
of crltlrlsm , that I know did mo Infinite
gond and were to my great advantage.
Thcro WHS another characteristic that I
would Mpoak of , alfo an attribute of the
heart. That was tills man's. Indomitable
courage , Ho dareil face some of the hard
est Ills of Hfo , and , thus daring , overcame
them.
Mr.Voolwortli has spoken of n period
In his career when ho was smitten with
disease , and when U looked as though his
life must be n failure because of Ito physi
cal effects. How bravely he battled. Then
eamn the great a/lllctlon ot the loss of
night. 1 returned to Omaha , from a brief
absence , a few years ago , and felt as though
It would bo n painful duty , and yet a
duty thn' I must perform , to call upon tliU
aUllctt'd brother , stricken aa IIH was with
total blliulness. It was but n few months
after this dreadful misfortune came to ' 111111.
I cannot find words to express , Mr. Chair
man , the pain of that Interview. A strong
man had hevn stricken with the most dreaded
of all Infirmities and hr > Boomed to me to be
utterly crunhcd beneath the dire calamity.
I left hla presence sad ami disheartened ,
feeling that thn end of all had come to him
I did not sen him again until nearly a ) ' ar
had elapsed , when I again called upon
him and saw the .splendid evidence of his
unfailing courage , manly determination , and
how ho had overcome all fear and fought
against disaster. Ho cheerfully talked upon
the subjects nf the day with an Interest
and appreciation that charmed me. I left
his presence cheered again , realizing that
bis was the samp vigorous spirit that 1 bad
found It , one to xufTer and bo strong , to
endure and finally to win. to suffer tem
porary defeat and achieve final victory. He
was not only a prime factor In the past of
this community , but an example to those
who lu the future shall compose 1U cltlzeu-
sblp.

Rime time Friday night n number of
wideawake citizens living at the north
end of the Klrst ward got together and
laid a sidewalk In front of the property of
a man whom they Imagined was trying to
ovnde compliance with the ordinances In
regard to sidewalks In that locality. On
July 27 the city council ordered a sidewalk
laid on Twenty-sixth street from II to U
Htreets. The property owners were given
thirty days In which to do the work ut their
own expense , ami If at the expiration of
that time the walk was not laid the city
would do the work and eharse the cost to
the abutting property. This regulation was
compiled with by every one but Thomas
deary , who owns 120 feet ot land on the
street. Ho did not lay his own walk within
the thirty days , neither did he allow the
city force to do the work. A few days ago
a force of men under Dan Ilannon. who
hns the contract for doing such work , un
loaded lumber near Geary's lots and com
menced to lay the walk. Geary allowed up
promptly with an order from the mayor
for the work to slop and It was stopped.
The unlives up In thnt neighborhood thus
obtained the idea that Geary had a pull
with the administration , and was not going
to lay his walk. Hence the midnight meet
ing and the sound ot hammer and saw from
that time on until daybreak. Inquiry nt
the mayor's olllce elicited the Information
that Geary was anxious to lay n permanent
sidewalk , and had asked for the delay In
order to purchase the necessary material.
When the order to stop work was given him
by the mayor It was with the distinct under
standing that work on the permanent side
walk was to commence the next morning.

Omaha today welcomes the coming ; and
speeds the parting gWA. Mr. Mansfield
conies nnd Mr. andMw. . Tabcr go. This
city has been honored lplng the past few
days by the presence,0 ,10 , many distin
guished players wlthlpJl/p / gates. It Is
hoped , however , that -.J aiisfield will re
ceive moro generous patronage next week
than has been bestowed upon the Taber.i
In the course of their engagement. Busi
ness was not large with them after the
opening night not neatly so largo as It
should have been to bo at all commensurate
with the exceeding merits of their perform
ances. Their new play , "Homola , " has al
ready been discussed ftt length In these
columns. The heavy Shakespearean produc
tions , which form the remainder of their
repertory , have been often done by them
bcforo In Omalm : but never have they been
so elaborately put on or so thoroughly well
done ns now. Mr. Tabcr Is one of the most
olllelcnt stage directors alive. Ho has taste ,
skill , discrimination nnd a capacity for
hard woik which Is equal lo Mr. Mansfield's.
With them1 , and the financial ability to
carry out the schemes \vh lrh they devise ,
It Is no wonder that the performances
which he directs arc models of stagecraft.
He does not work on so large a scale us
Mr. Mansfield , with whom , in respect of
management lie will Inevitably be com
pared this week ; nnd perhaps he would not
claim to he the peer of ( li.it versatile genius
In many-sided knowledge. Hut the younger
man Is wonderfully cITlcfctit.
The name of Mr. and Mrs. Taber's friends
In Omaha , In spite of the uns.itlsfactory
tale of the box olllcc , la legion. The time
which passes between this and their next
return will hold no more acceptable : gift
than that which they never fall to offer
sincere endeavor for the highest things ,
and honest nnd artistic achievement.
Mr. Mansfield was surprised at learning ,
from one who had read the news In a
morning J aper , that ho was present at the
performance of "Homola , " by the Tabers ,
the other night. "Why , bless my soul , " he
Bald , with u humorous pucker ot his mouth ,
"I wasn't within n mile of It. I never go
to the theater , do you know , unless I can't
help It. I have to go quite often , In my
line of business. Mrs. Mansfield was there ,
yes , and tolls mo the performance wns

greatest possible admiration for both Mr.

Mr. Mansfield has bdeir hard at work ever
Blnco he arrived last Thursday , spending
all his days and lontf hours of his. nights
at the theater. The amount of work ho can
dispatch In n given "twenty-four " hours is
only equaled by the amount dispatched In
the periods of equal length Immediately
before nud after. Dreds rehearsals have
been had under his direction of "Ulehard
HI"and "Tho Merdhnnt of Venice" on
the CrelEhton stage , ' and' things arc apj j
proaehlng a state of readiness , so far as |
Mr. Mansfield nnd the cdmpany are con-
ccrned , for the performances before an
audience this week. The repertory appears
elsewhere , and the cast of characters ot the
two Shakespearean plays' la apper.dcd. The
strength , adetiimteness' scenic magnifi

The management of thn Crelghton theater
announces thnt beginning with tlio opening
night of the Mansfield engagement the ush
er * at that theater will be Instructed neither
to seat any one nor to allow any one to be
seated during the action of the play. The
time of opening Is well known , being 8:1 : ! >
In the evening and 2:30 : at matinees , unless
otherwise announced. Late comers must
stand until the curtain Is down , unless
there are vacant seats In the extreme rear
which they can occupy without annoyance
to those who are already seated. They
will not be permitted to Interfere with the
careful attention which others are devoting
to the performance on the stage.
This Is a most wholesome rule and one
which cannot fall to bring about good re
sults. It Is in successful operation else
where and the absence ot it bore has helped
to make Omaha audiences thoughtless and
unmannerly. Any ono may bo late now and
then ; no one should be late often. And no
ono who Is tardy , cither occasionally or
habitually , should expect to he allowed to
annoy a whole audience and a whole stage
full of players by stumbling and crowding
to their places while the play is in progress.
Messrs. Paxton and Hureoss will have the
hearty support of all reasonable men and
women In this move.

Regarding Colonel Cody's Wild West that
comes to Omaha for two performances on
October 10 , Murat Halstead of the Cincinnati
Gazette has :
"I feel it a duty to the generation to call
special attention to the Wild West exhibi
tion under the direction of Colonel Cody. Its
genuine character makes it worthy ot the
highest commendation. The horses , their
trappings , the people and all the wonderful
skill and daring , are beyond the suspicion
ot Imposture. The riding is the mojt thrill i
ing and at the same time , most expert horse
manship over presented to the public
Twenty-five years banco U will be Impossible
to reproduce such thrilling phases ot frontier
life , ns it would bo today to enact the
Grecian games at Olymph. Greeks. It Is
true , still exist , but the .Greeks of the days
of Heraclldao have vanished. The splendid
assemblage of temples on the banks of Al1
plieus stream are In wreck nnd ruin ; the
discus throwers , the wrsatlors and the charl-1
otccrs of ancient Ilcllcij have melted Inlo
dual. So In a generation's time will have
disappeared from our western plains and
mountain tastncsscs. tlio cowboy nnd the
painted savage , forever * From an educa
tional standpoint of view.rather than as an
iimuseirent , should c ry American study
the Wild West show , u no *
"Another word nbotiMKaffala Hill's Wild
West object lesson. Ho. Is here In great form ,
completing the conquests flf two worlds. I
have wltneeed his triumphs In both. livery
ono knows how ho took'the scalp of Ruropo
and wears the glittering trophy at his belt.
Ho has added largely.'to the attractiveness
of his exhibit and descr.ve's the success ho
has had and the crowning triumphs before
him throughout the Beacon that has been
opened , so auspiciously for him. There Is
one new feature worth. tra-Vellng a thousand
miles to see , and that Is tlio cavalry of four
nJtlons the United States , England , Ger
many and Franco. A troop of the cavalry of
each of HicEo nations .appear In the regula
tion uniform , bearing .iholr. respective flags ,
and the bold riders going--through the most
elaborate evolutions , display all the witcher
ies of consummate hor'sejhanshlp. They are
as well worth seeing qs./iva ' cowboys or the
savages , the Mexican or the Cossacks. The
ono sight that ought to Interest every Amer
ican Is the gallant company of our United
States cavalry. As our men have usually
boon In hard service or "remote stations the
great masses of our people are most wholly
unacquainted with them' : so that the exhibi
tion of a troop of our regular horsemen Is as
novel as U la pleasing. "
The reason why Illchard Mansfield Is so
universally acknowledged as a great actor
has been succinctly set forth by William
Winter in his delightful "Shadows of the
Stage. " Mr. Winter characterizes Mr.
Mansfield's art as follows ? " /Ml / persons are
glad to see Mr. Mansfield who honor the
clement of mind , who respect high purpose
and noble ambition , and who exult lo the
achievements of genius , The lovers of nov
elty likewise are captured by his approach
and they find pleasure In his presence. "
Mr. Mansfield ls an Actor who does not
confine himself to thu limitations of customer
or conventionality ; the charm ot his acting
lies In his wonderful art of carrying wltbj |
liltn no trace of one- character into the con
sideration of another. liarh separate char
acterization of the several plnys that com
prise his extensive repertory stands alone
and complete , none like unto the other.
During the festival of dramatic art which
Mr. Mansfield and his New York Garrlrk
Theater Stock company will present at the
Crclshlon theater , opening tomorrow night ,
the full list of plays Included In his reper
tory will be given , the arrangement being
as frllows : Monday night , "The Merchant
of Venice , " Tuesday nl lit. "The Scarlet
Letter , " Wednesday matinee , "Henu Hrtim-

All of the plays , with the exception of
"The Scarlet Letter. " "The Merchant of
Vrnlro" and "King Richard III. " have been

ston of Mr. Mansfield's previous visits.
Mr. Manslleld'3 embodiment ct Slolock

A vicck of amusement ut the people's moat

tbe con'-lng week. The Illttner Theater com-
ppny will return to this theater In a new
repertory , in which are "Inshavogue , " "An
Urcqiial"Match. . " "Temptation of Money , "
"Tho Ticket of Leave Man. " "Tho Banker's
Crime" and "Uncle Joh. " which will be
presented during the week In the order
named. At the matinee and evcnlnc ; pcr-
formrnccR today , the Irish comedy-drams.
"Inshavogue , " will ho the drawing attrac
tion , and as an added Inducement , the. well
known Shamrock quartet will sing Imtween
( ho acts a number cf favorite Irish national
songe. On Monday evening , when "An Un
equal Match" will be billed , a lady will be
admitted free with each paid thirty-cent
ticket. There will bo no performance by the
thc-.Ucr company on TiiPbday evening , as the
house was routed so\eral weeks ago for that
date for a political meeting. A change of
bill will bo given nightly during the week.
The big doll mr.tlnee was such a success
last Saturday , that It will be repeated next
Catun3ay for the school children , on which
occasion twenty-four big dolls will be dis
tributed among them , and that amusing
play "Uncle Josh. " will delight an audicnrr
of'women and children , who will surely 111 !
every scat in the theater.
A dramatic event of unusual Interest will
he the coming engagement at the Crelghton
October 15 , 1 and 17 of Oils Skinner. Mr.
Skinner has bad a general recognition as n
star and holds a front place In the ranks of
American actors. His first year's two pro
ductions were succeeded last , season by
"Villon , the Vagabond , " which lived
through a career of popular approval and
Is now retired In favor of newer plays and
later revivals. The sensation of Mr. Skin
ner's "Hamlet" in Chicago last winter was
one o the few genuine ones tbat were ex
perienced by the Windy City. His "Shy-
look" will be remembered by many as being
n moro consistent reading of the character
of the mouoy-lendcr than that presented
by Henry Irving.
Mr. Skinner's gallery of theatrical portraits
traits will now be added to those of "Hlch-
nrd III , " "Ilomeo" and "Claude Melnotto. ' '
A one-night engagement of America's
greatest comedian , Joseph Jefferson , Is an
nounced by the Crelghton for Wednesday ,
October i 14. when that great player , sup
ported I by a competent company , will ap
pear In one of his greatest successes.
The Nebraska music hall opens again for
the season , with George Mitchell as pro
prietor , who proposes to give a clean and
reputable vaudeville show every night from
? to 12 o'clock. The first engagement opens
with the Brahams. the comedy sketch art
ists of well known ability , In which Mrs.
llraham will take the star parts. There
will bp buck , wing and jig dancing galore ,
. . MIe Miss Huby Knight will do the ballad
singing to-pcrfcctlon , ably assisted by Miss
Delia Latham , the serio-comic artist. The
Milton family will furnish a very line mu
sical progiam. and LJurrell and Kimball
will do comic sketch acts. The West song
uid dance team and Miss Georglo Com-
itock nnd Miss Joslo Duncan will fill In odd
serio-comic take-offs.
pells with their - -
There are some people who believe In
what Is called classical music , but who
do not understand It , nnd , In the secret
chambers of their hearts , do not like It.
They acknowledge that It is fine. They
suppose it must bo fine , but what makes
It so is beyond their ken. They put down
all music written by what are termed the
"groat composers" no classical , and often
times diead the approach of a concert
which , for social or other reasons , they
must attend , because In the program their
names appear. A great comprser Is con
sidered great , not because ho has written
music hard to perform or understand , but
Lceauso in his music ho has delivered a
/treat message to the human race. Men
are j not only "religious animals , " but thoj
are j musical animals , Mr. Gladstone hat
been 1 remarking for publication about
music i , and he holds that to produce nnd
enjoy i music Is a natural function of the
human mind. If so , It Is , In essence , uni
versal. It is also In human nature to de
sire hotter things , and the development of
music from a monotonous recitation of
rythmiral successions of words up to i :
Wugner music drama la the result of the
world's drslro for bettor music for better
opera. Wagner may nave written the
"music ot thu future' . " but he built upon
the music of the past.
It takes time and study to become able
to understand a symphony , because music
In Itself la not oxprcsslvo of Ideas , but of
emotions. An aria from nn opera or a
chorus from an oratorio is more easily un
derstood If sung In our own language. Ideas
are expressed definitely by words anil many
moro people understand words than under
stand music. Thu ambitious singer who
desires to plcaeu the public would do well
to remember this fact and pronounce his
words EO that they can bo understood.
Some of the music by great composers Is
not great , but much Is full of soul , of
vitality. In much of It human experience
Is represented and ours Is a part of human
experience. Wo nrt > human. Wo are closely
related to the great composer and hu will
teach us his language If we will let him
Ho will thrill us with hope , and , that It
may shlno all the brighter , ho will lead
us through the night of despair. We can
llvo many llvec by his aid , for he baa fe.lt
the heart throbs of this world. Ho baa
gene back Into tha past ; ho has looked
forward into the future ; ho brings It all to
us In his music. Ho Is so near to us because -
cause ho sums up all of us In himself. Ills
music Is our hearts' language , because his
heart and ours beat together.
The onielal prospectus for opera at the
Metropolitan opera house In New York for
the coming season has been published. The
works by French , Italian and German com-
posora will bo sung In these several
languages , The conductors will bo Signer
Manclnelll , Signer Ilevlscanl of "Klower
Dirt" fame and Anton Scldl. The princi
pal sopranos will bo Mines , Melba , Kmnm
Kames and ICtnma Halve. Mine. Nordlca has
not been re-engaged because she asked J 1,000
a performance. I < ast season her work was
more remuiieratlvo to the management
than that of any other singer , and yet at
least two others received higher wages.
| Nordics Is an Amorlmn nnd not In the
foreign cltquo of which Jenn do Hextko
Is thecenter. . This may account for ninny
things. Hut for her untimely death thanks
to some bungling surgeons Fr u KUf ky
would' have headed the Herman eon's of
artists. The contraltos will be Mine.
Mantelll and Mile. Olltyka. Mine. Scnlchl
la not In the list. Hers has been one of
the most wonderful voices ever heard In
modern times. Its qualify of tone l nlono
of Its kind , and while the vocal method Is
full of faults , still she ranks ns one of the
greatist of Italian artists , The tenors will
be Jean de Hcszke ; D'Aublgne , Cremonlnl ,
and others , llarltones. Signer Aucona , Mr.
Ill.iham. Mr. Cnmpnn < irl nnd DC Vrles. Hnssl
Kdouard de HesT.krPlancon ; nnd Arlmondl.
The reperlory will be selected from the
following operas , ami If the policy prevails
i this year ns In the past the same dried up
I chestnuts will roll about the stage searchIng -
Ing for starving worms to devour them :
"Romeo and Juliette , " nnd "Kanst , " by
( lounod. The following by Wagner : "Tauii-
liniiscr" In French , and probably the
version composed by Wagner especially for
Paris , wlih the elaborate tlrst act nnd ballet
scene : "Lohengrin. " In both Italian and
German : "Die Melsterslnger , " In Italian :
"Die Walkure. " "Siegfried. " and "Tristan
j nnd Isolda , " In German. With Klafsky
I dead and Nordlca not In the company , the
question Is. Who will sing Isolde this year ?
N6 matter who docs , it won't bt easy to
duplicate the success of Its first perform
ance In New York last season , when Jrnn
do Hesjtkp wns Tristan , Mme. Nordlcn
Isolde , Kdouard de Heszke King Mark , and
Anton Scldl the conductor. What n per
formance ! what nn audience ! Poor Pcldl
had to bow until his clothes didn't fit him.
Hut to return to the list : "Manon" nnd
" \Verther , " by Massenet , are announced.
Vcrdl may be represented by "Trovatore , "
"Alda. " "Travlata" and "Hlgoletto. " Won
der why "Otello" and "Knlstaff" are omitted.
Meyerbeer Is down for " 1/Afrlcalne" and
"The Prophet. " 'It Is most likely that the
"Huguenots" will bt > the work actually per
formed , "and others ! "
A strong body , healthy lungs and a well
used throat are the physical essentials ot a
singer. A weak , nervous system Is an In
surmountable obstacle to any order of ac
curate bodily action. As well try to put up
a successful telegraph system with rusty
and brokey wires as to put up a successful
singer on shattered nerves. There was a
tlmu when It was not supposed that a musi
cian had any use- for brains ; only the misin
formed think so now , U Is time that those
who wish to make n success of singing
should rcallzn the need of a strong , healthy
body. There are several kinds of what is
called physical culture , nnd it lJ reasonable
to suppose that some are valuable ns sys
tems of bodily development. One thing Is
certain , that narrow-chested , hollow-
cheeked , colorless-lipped , stoop-shouldered
> oung man or woman needs something be
sides singing lessons. No great artist that
the writer has ever seen answered to any
such description. They are well developed ,
hale and hearty men and women , who pay
us much attention to taking their bodily ex
ercise aH to singing their scales. The nerv
ous system must bo charged with vitality.
Us centers must bo stimulated by proper
muscular action. The whole body must be
continually sustained by solid food , and the
greatest care taken to prevent colds , throat
troubles , etc. , and even then It Is not child's
play to sing well.

The Omaha Musical Koclety has com
pleted its organization and has elected the
following olllcers : President , Jules C . Lum-
bard ; vice- president , W. II. Alexander ;
secretary , L. T. Snndcrland ; conductor ,
Homer Moore. At the meeting last Tues
day evening the president appointed the
following executive committee : George W.
Holbrook. Frank Lea Short , M. C. Peters.
The officers of the society and this com
mittee have solo charge of the admission
of now members , and claim the privilege
of examining any concerning whom there
Is doubt as to their ability to keep pace
with the work of the society. They select
all music to be performed and the singers
for solo parts. At a meeting held Wednes
day noon IP the Commercial club rooms the
special partu were assigned for the conceit
to be given November 12. A feature or
the regular Tuesday evening meetings will
bo the solo singing by ono or two mem
bers for the entertainment of the rest.
Owing to Crelghton hall having been rented
for next Tuesday the rehearsal will be held
In the concert hall of the Young Men's
Christian association building , Mrs. Martin
Calm will be the soloist.

The Mondamin Choral society , under the
direction of Thomas J. Kelly , expects to
give a performance of Dudley Duck's sei-
tlng of Longfellow's great poem , "Tho
Golden Legend , " at Doyd's theater during
November. Dudley Buck is one of the
greatest composers that America has so far
produced , and this Is perhaps his best
effort. The Mondamin society has been
especially successful In Its past public
work , and Is one of the musical institu
tions In this city that deserves public
patronage and support. It does not exist
as a negative force ; Its object is not to
prevent other organizations from doing their
work ; It has a field of Its own and It Is
amply qualified to fill it.

Last Sunday Mrs. J.V. . Cotton arrived
homo from a three months' trip to Europe
In faearch of recreation , health , and musical
information. To the musician a summer in
ICuiopo Is a union of business and pleasure
As yet Kuropo is the real homo of music ,
and Its advancement Is made there. Mrs.
Cotton arrived In London In time for the
spring season of grand opera and was
especially pleased with our American singer ,
Mrs , Kmma Kami's Story. From London she
went to Paris , and from Paris to the very
heart of Switzerland. From all that art has
done , to the highest glories of nature , she
nays "tho beautiful rivers and lakes with
snowcapped mountains for a background
nro Hiuely ono of the grandest sights human
eyes are permitted to look upon. "
The next stop was nt Milan , which was
reached Ijy thn St. Gothard railroad. The
c.ithedral nt Milan Is one of the finest pieces
of Gothic architecture In the world. At the
Hrera pictures by Iteubens and Carlo Dolcl
were enjoyed , and nt the Santa Maria
Leonardo dl Vinci's world-famous "Last Sup
per " . At the opera Donizetti's "Daughter
of the jlealmcnt" was heard , and Mrs. Cot
ton says that she is cure she never heard a
performaivu In this country this land of
white Indians so bad. The description re
minds the writer of the first performance
ho heard at the Hoyol opera In Munich. They
i > ru not as particular over there an wo aro.
Well , they don't pay our price either ! It
may surprise some people to rend that opera
Is given better in Now York than anywhere
clso In tha world.
From Milan to Venice , "that I had dreamed
and sung about , my expectations were ful
filled. I was HO fortunate us to be awakened
nt midnight by scronndcrs with their mando
lines , guitars , and fine Italian voices. " There
Is no doubt , If our fair songstress deigned to
flash her bright eyes upon them as they sat
In lliolr gondola beneath her window , that
they felt well paid for tholr pains. In Florence -
enco Mrs. Cotton took some lessons of Cor-
tesl and of Vanlnl a lesson u day of each.
In London It was her deslru to study with
HciiHchol , but ho was away. Him attended
many performances of opera and concert
and heard many great urllsts. She met Mr
Atwater , formerly of Omaha , who IB now
onu of the correspondents of the Musical
Courier. She looks back upon her Journey
