I3 In choosing a play of Shakespeare's , am particularly "The Merchant of Venice , " foi the opening bill ot his engagement here Mr. Richard Mansfield WBD no doubt Influ enced by a belief that love for the work ol Iho greatest of all dramatists yet lingered unong us , and that many would bo drawn jy an announcement of the performance ol : hat play , the richest of all In charactcrlza- ; lon. The event developed no all-pcrvadinp leslre for either Shakespeare or his worku , f the not very large attendance may bo : aken an a measure uf Omaha's craving foi ho classical drama. A magnillcent per- 'ormance was given , however , scenlcally anil li-amatlcally ; and the audience , though not i great one , nor very enthusiastic at the jutsct. attained to a conslJerablo degree ol varmth bcforo the entertainment closed. "Tho Merchant of Venice , " as compared .vlth other plays from the hand ot the mas- cr , offers nn unusual variety of characters vhich stand out In strong accentuation. Shylock , Portia , liassanlo , Ncrlssa , Gratlano , lessiea , Lorenzo , Antonio , Launcelot , are all > crsoiiages who call for the best efforts ol hose who portray them. The deeps of some if them were by no means sounded last light ; but of others the length and breadth vere so admirably fillled out thnt the future s not likely to show a characterization more iffoctlve and completely satisfying. Ot heso Mr. Mansfield's Shylock is easily flrst ; lot bccauso he is the star , nor because the low is the dominating figure ot the play. io line an artist might even make great hlngs out of small , as Mr. Mansfield haa lone before. His pre-eminence Is duo tc its surpassing merits. This Shylock so owcrs above those about him In Intellect- ml force as1 to produce a perfect Illusion ol ihysical superiority as well. Thcro Is only mo touch of softness In him his love for ils daughter , finely contrasted with his pas- ilon ot avarice by the tender parting from Fesslca before her elopement. Pride ot race , > xhaustlcss thrift and a bitterness of soul jorn of personal and inherited wrongs at .ho hands of Christians , have crushed out ill the noble qualities ot mind which he nust once have possessed. His lot Is cast unong those whom liu hates. He scorns .o conciliate them , ho cannot successfully vlthstand them. He lends them money , ami acls tribute from them ; this Is his re- , 'engo for all his Injuries. And then the opportunity comes when he sees within his ; rasp an awful vengeance , upon ono of the : nest detestable of thu hated brood. The iiunt-iip malignity of his soul bursts forth iml he becomes a wild beast following hU l > roy ; ferocious , yet full ot dignity withal itandlng at bay among the Jeering Chris- Hans In the court , compelling the respect ) f the onlookers and carrying even more ivith him when he makes his last etfectlvc nit. broken , but never bent. Certain of the business used by Mr. Mans field In playing this part Is his own and Is strong nnd appropriate. Ills discovery ol Ills daughter's crime Is perhaps that which , is a picture , will stay longest In the mind. Ho comes wildly forth1 from the house and the maskers make way awfully before him. Ho stands a moment , swaying , with hla inns Htretched to heaven ; then falls to his tnecs , and so upon his face , grovelling upon the earth ; and the revellers swarm about nm with shouts and ribaldry. Neither will Ills bearing In the court-room bo speedily forgotten his Oriental squatting upon the leer , nnd his horrible whetting ot the sclnie- ar-llko knife upon the solo of his shoe nor : ho superb gesture of mingled pride and weakness with which he twice wraps his mantle about him before ho staggers from the scene. It was ut this point that the uidlence , arriving at the boiling point. railed Mr. Mnnsflold three times before the : urtnln. The Portia of Mrs. Mansfield Is ono of the nest entirely pleasant things done by this inarming artist , whose sweet personality Is joat adapted to roles like this. Shu rend lie beautiful lines beginning , "Thu quality > f morey Is not strained. " thoroughly well , mil with admirable sympathy ; and she was qually effective ) In the light comedy man- icr of her first dialogue with Nerlssa and ho razzle-dazzlement of the rings , and in ho moro serious adventure of the caskets , ilr. Andrews offers perhaps the best < auncclot Gobbo at present shown upon the tage. Ills work last night In that dllllcult ole was so good that one cannot dcslro to eo It better done. Mr. Jowett was n manly , nit not otherwise remarkable , Mnssiuilo. Ir. Johnson ns Gratlano , "talked nn Infinite leal of nothing'11 In n very rcuonant voice , .nd Mr , Christie wis decidedly cloyer ns the topplsh Prlnco of Arragon. Miss Evelyn vas much admired for the splendor of her ittlre > , and not lesa for her grace of manner ind her excellent performance of Nerlssu ; md Miss Allco I'lcrco , the winning maid vim was old Shylock's elaughtcr. afforded inmlxpd pleasure to eye and ear and artistic pprcclutlon. "The Merchant ot Venice" Is put on the itage with brilliant lavlshncss , and with a arlcty and sumptuousne.ss In costunm and iropertles and an accuracy In detail us irateful as unusual. The * program last light , from every point of view , was en- Irely enjoyable. It will bo repeated at the uatlnce on Saturday , and the Crelghlon heater should be packed to the doors. To- ilght , for the first tlmo in Omaha , a dra- natlzatton of Hawthorne's powerful re liance.

The cluu expressed sympath ; by a rising vote. , i The chairmen of the various rommltteoi then made their reports. Mrs. Hn.sew.Utf : of the membership committee read tin names of thirty-three applicants for member ship In the club. Several of the standlnf committees had no reports to make. Under the head of special committee ! Mrs. Francis M. Ford read the result of tin work of the elub house committee , Tlili report showed much work done and that i clear conception of the proper line of pro cciluro had developed in the minds of tin committee. The plan suggested Is In brie ! that three women ho selected by tl Women's club to net with three selected bj the Young Women's Christian assoclatlor and three more selected by this six to Incorporate porato a Women's Hulldlng association , said association to Issue stock to the amount ol JSO.OOO , shares to bo sold to club \vonien am ! other men and women of the city. Tin building Is to be centrally located , consistIng - Ing of two stories above a basement and tc contain a first-class auditorium with n BeatIng - Ing capacity of about SDH , which could bt rented to the public. The plan Is to erecl building suitable for the use of nil women's organizations. The discussion of this plan will bo token up at the next regular meeting two weeks from yesterday. Mrs. Hoobler , chairman of the committee lo provide n program for a public meeting known ns "Gentlemen's night" reported that It seemed best to postpone further arrange ments until "after election. " On behalf of the committee upon rooms Mrs. Ilnohler Hinted that the arrangements were perfected for retaining the rooms of last year for department meetings , but the use of Crelghton theater could b secured for the public meetings If the club desired. Ily vote U was decided to hold the next meeting In that place as n test of the plan. As the head of the piano committee Mrs. Lindsay naked the secretary to report the action of the directory upon this subject. The secretary announced the directory's recommendation that a piano bo purchased for the use of the club , and the names of the committee appointed by it. Mrs. Lind say then gave her report. The club voted to niako this commlttee'n action Its own , and empowered It to purchase a suitable plnno for the club. Mrs. Kord again rose to explain the work the musical department desired to do thlfl year pursuing the Derthlch method of a musical literature course. Club members desiring to avail themselves of the course were asked to pay $1 , although no fee Is compulsory. To those outsldo the club the course Is $2,00. The president then aslted Mrs. Keysor to present the cnso of the Federation library. The story briefly told la this : The funds of this , the traveling library , the property of the Nebraska Stale federation , amounted to about $220. About one-half of this had been spr-nt in book's and the remainder , SI 11.SI ) , was deposited In'the ' German Savings bank. Tin- suspension of that Institution rendered the library committee helpless at this , the time of year when the small clubs most need help , thus withdrawing aid juat when the struggling clulis had learned to depend upon getting It. Mrs. Keysor made an earnest ple.i to the club to advance the library the money whlcht , now needed and take possession of this receiver's certificate. Mrs. { 'cattle , who Is clinlrmnn of the li brary committee , said , she thought such an act upon the club's part would be of more value than the minimi donation. The matter was put , to a vote and carried , there being but one .dissenting voice. The Omaha Women's club' will thus make good to the women of the state'the whole amount at money entrusted by Omaha women to an Omaha bank. Those mdst interested believe.

Many of the housewives seriously object to the time or 3:30 : to 5:30. : It makes them late to dinner. On the other band now that school holds until 4 o'clock the old hour of 3 o'clock would shut out the teachers altogether. So thu relative Intel lectual needs of teachers and honsekeeprs wore aired , and there were several sugges tions as to how other people's business might be managed to fit this emergency. It Is estimated that there are fifty teachers in thu club when the motion by Mrs. An- Ircw.s. "that wo return to our old time 3 J'cloek" was- put , a rising vote was aslted for by the chair , after which It was an nounced that the present hour 3:30 had won , Mrs. Galloway , president of the Kau Clalro IVIs. , Women' , ] club , the guest of Mrs. II.

Alarmed at Information to the eftecl that her husband had been slugged In Sotitl : Omaha and robbed of the money h ( en mo to this city last Friday to Investigate Up to the present time neither she nor the police have succeeded In obtaining a tract of the man's whereabouts. Howman left his home In Marshalltown on September S. presumably on a business trip. Ho left behind his wife , who is o physician , and their little daughter. Ilia wlfo supposed that ho stopped at the Mer chants hotel , but the register of thai hostelry falls to disclose hln name , although ho called there to get his mall. Mrs. Howman rccejved no word from tin husband , but received n startling message from a friend a few days afterward. It waste to the effect that while Ilowmnn was It South Omaha ono night he was waylaid by highwaymen nml robbed of his money , The communication , Mrs. Howman says , gave no further Information. It did not oven tell her what disposition had been made ot the wounded man , although It stated that ho had been severely Injured. Mrs. Howman waited fcr days In expec tancy of receiving Information , but no word reached her. Finally she became so anxious regarding thu safety of h r husband that she determined to como to this city for the purpose of an Investigation , Mrs. Howman has tried to find the friend of Hnwman's. who wrote to her regarding the slugging , but she has learned that ho has left the city. She says that he knew that he was an acquaintance of her husband , but knew nothing further ot his character. Her information regarding him Is to the effect that he has left the city permanently , but the police are endeavoring to locate him. Mrs. Howman Is not certain as to the amount of money that Howinan had in his possession , but she believes that It was In i ho neighborhood of $3,500. She says that being a physician , she attended to her own profession without Interfering with her hus band's business and therefore knew little of what he was doing. She states , how ever , that the motiey lil belonged to him. The wife appears to be confident that her : iusband has been waylaid , robbed and pos sibly murdered and thnt his dead body will 1)O discovered some day. She says that The and ho never had any difllculty of any tlnd and that their relations were pleasant. The police , however , believe that the woman has been deserted and that the let ter that Mrs. Iliiwman received was con cocted by him and hla friend. Howmun'g own name was attached to this letter , the writer stating that Howman was too badly .njurcd to use his own hand , but Mrs. How man is confident that it was written by the 'riend , who is also misslnsj. The police have but little faith In the slugging story , as they arc certain that Uowiuan could not bavo been robbed and .njurcd without some report being made , especially ns the circumstances were known .o ono person at least.
