"Tho Prisoner of Zcnda" drew llko a porous plaster at the CrelRhton , nnd probably would have continued to draw thcotigh a longer engagement than It ven tured to bcitow upon Omaha. It ployed a ( week In Denver to excellent business , and doubtless would have found a stay of half that tlmo profitable In Omaha ; but report * which have gone out during the present neason many of them , alas , quite deserved have not Improved the reputation of Omaha as n theatrical center , and the Hat of attractions which , from playing half n week at ono of the local houses , has come down to one nnd two night stands , IB con stantly on the Increase. An engagement of two nlghtB , which results In big patronage - ronago on both occasions , Is assuredly more to be dffllred than a week of eleildcr business. In other words , with n given nnd unvarying amount of business , you can make a better phowlng by condensing It than by spreadIng - Ing It out ; even as a modicum of butter maybe bo mifTlclciU for the necessities of a single Bllco of bread and yet decidedly Inadequate for the anointing of a whole loaf. A case In point \vns the visit of Richard Mansfield early In the ncason. Ho had been hero the spring before and played two nights to record-breaking business ; Inso much that ho forthwith picked Omaha , as the saying Is , for n winner , and proposed to open his season hero with a two-week's dra matic festival , to which the Inhabitants of half a Aotcn states should flock for the upbuilding of their artlatlc taste. Such representations were made to him , how ever , of the needs of other communities , that he cut his engagement here to a week of eight performances , which , with two dress rehearsals to which a few favored were admitted , made up a rich treat of Mans- floldlan manifestations liu.t the Immense vol- nmo of patronage that was looked for never came. The week's bushier would ha\c been very satisfactory If It could have been com- piessed into half as many performances. If It had been so compressed , Mr. Mnnsfleld might hnvo gone a\vay again filled with admiration for our discriminating taste , and have sung Omaha's pralsca throughout the length and breadth of the land. As It WOP , after playing to eight only moderate audiences ho took his departure shaking the dual of the city from his shops nnd the cinders of the Union depot from his raiment , nnd threatening never to come this way again. Whether or not the action of The Hoe , In calling attention to the decidedly ordinary quality of his supporting com pany had arylhlng to do with so ranh a vow , Is not definitely known. At ony rate , no faith should bo put In the story that the Illustrious Illchaid , having returned after an evening's performance to hli private rolling stock , and having ottered sonic Indignity to the colored porter thereof , was by that functionary thrown neck and crop elf the Hrjan end of the car. Hut thin Is wandering from the point which was sought to be established , which Is that Oiraha managers arc wise In their generation to cut down the length of en gagements , They nro offering a most un usual variety of the best nttrnctiono to be had , Including a number of great New York MICCOSSCS of the last season. New York Hiicciyfica , do uot always piovo to ho Omaha successes. however , and the fault In such cases Is by no means Invariably with west ern taste. A \vcek ago Saturday night the dramatic editor had the plcamire of dining with Henry it. I'ltt and of enjoying the fruitful conver sation of that veteran actor , who has prom ised at no very distant day to favor the readers of The Ileo with his vlewo onarl - niiH topic connected with the stage. The chat covered a pretty vldc range of theat rical matters , and In commenting upon the condition of Alexander Salvlnl , who fa re ported Incurably 111 at his father's house In Italy , .Mr. I'ltt mentioned Antonio Masfilnl , the eccentric Italian who served on the union sldo through our civil war and who .ictrd as property man for the Salvlnls , father and son , for jcare , during all their tours In this country. The drnniutlo editor remembered meeting Masslnt dining a visit of young Salvlnl to Omaha Ihrco or four jeara ago , and ask ing Salvlnl how the nama should bo spelled , whether with s or 7. . Salvlnl said s was the proper letter , but that the name of the Italian patriot Mazzinl should bo spelled with 7.hlch ( ho called "zed , " after Hrlt- ! sh fashion ) . Antonio Masslnl dropped dead In the city of Washington ono day last week , nol far from the tlmo when the con- vrjsatlon about him was going on. Alex ander Salvinl , to whom he was devotedly attached , jet survives him , but will prob ably never rise from his bed of suffering. When they wcro hero together a year ago , both teemed mo Jcls of physical strength and manly vigor. _ _ _ _ _ _ Tompklns' "Black Crook" will open a four- night engagement at the Crclghton with a performance tonight , when It Is promised that Harms' familiar spectacle will 1)3 staged In n manner superior to all fonner \crslons which havebrcn offered hero.

"Tho Black Crook" hac an enthusiastic fellow Ing , which will undoubtedly bo stiongly In evidence at the opening per formance tonight. The usual Wednesday inatluoc will be given. "Tho Twelve Temptations" will bo pre- cntcd nt Uoyd's ' Wednesday and Thursday nlr.hU und Thanksgiving mutlnrc , when the costly show piece will be given In all Us richness and Imposing Immensity It to eald the scenery nlono would make the production famous , for each set Is a mlU'.clo of beauty , and the trick scenes coiu tain every device for gymnastic action and the creation of untold fun , while the giand final transformation "Davy Jones' Locker" Is hernldnd ns a triumph of Btago adornment never realized or achieved before. Manager Yalt > has scruied a big success as the author of quaint and comical descriptive FOURS , and Ills latest compositions will bo heard In "Tho Twelve Temptations , " namely , "Over the Ilrldge , " All In n How" and "Ilattciy Park.

Thanksgiving matlneo la the time act for the II rut representation In this city of siDeKovon and Smith's comic opera success , "Rob Roy , " which will bo offered at that tlmo nt thn Crelghton by n Whitney Opera company. Much has been written of this opera since Its first metropolitan production , two Beasoiia ugo , when , It met with a sue .ecus which continued throughout a run ol 200 performances. Reginald DeKoren , the composer of the mu | cal georo of "Rob Itoy , " hui , by his Hucccuaful compositions of "Robin Hood" and "The Fencing Mnatcr , " thoroughly endeared himself to the mtulc- loving public , nnd h | many admirers hero oio auxlounly awaiting for what has brcu pronounced by many his moat ambitious effort. "Rob Roy" Is said lo alvo ausplc PPportunlty for the JulwuUintlDU of nunv beautiful solas , of which It Is said the com poser has taken ample advantage. Among the moat popular numbers are th riding song In the first act , the duct by 1'rlnco Charles ( tenor ) and Flora ( soprano ) the "Orcnadler" song , and the tocsins of th clans ; the "Margery" song , "Boots nnd Saddles , " nnd others.

The boxes for the performance Thanks giving night hnvo been reserved for the foot hall teams of the Universities of Nc braska and Iowa , which will attend In a body. The Imperial Opera company which , undo the nblo guidance of Colonel Mapleson Is at present delighting New York audiences will appear at the Crclghton for two nights during the coming week , when the entire company , numbering over 200 performers besides nn orchestra of seventy-eight mem hers , will be heard In grand Italian opera The enterprise of the Crelghton managemen cannot be too highly praised , as the bringing of this Immense organization to Omaha en tails not only great labor , but a large ex penditure of money , n fact which It Is hoprt will be thoroughly appreciated by the public and as thoroughly rewarded. Of Sol Smith Russell's now play by Mar tha Morton , the dramatic critic of the Durfnln Courier writes : "It must have been a source of pleasure to all the people who saw htm lost night to feel that nt last , after long years of weary watting , Sol Smith Hussell , through the kindness of Miss Martha Morton , has won n fitting stage-land reward. "A Bachelor's Romance" Is more an Idyll of true love than a drama. It Is beautiful In conception , simple In construction ant ! pleasant In denouement , which , when coupled with faultless presentation , makes It a piny that everybody should see. The character given Mr. Russell was made , of course , for him , and although It contains many new side lights , yet fundamentally Is ns over , that of n literary , philosophical , middle aged bnchelor , buried away from the world and thn trials thereof and brought to light by a sudden gleam of sunshine In tin shape of a most dcllciously charming young Slrl. Slrl."It "It Is llko one of the old , Immortal fairy tales In the unaffected directness with which the story Is told , nnd , It may be added , In Its disregard of what Is generally considered dramatic probability and of fidelity to the hard facts of real life. Its fashionable lux ury Is so overwhelmingly luxurious , Its rustic simplicity Is so very rustic and slm pip. and everybody In It Is so good nt heart under the thin crust of worldlness and recklessness and 'fashionable frivolity. And what of It all , when the play Is so sweet , and pure and tender In Its humor and Its pathos that It leaves you 'all kind o smiles' round the lips and teary round the lashes , ' leaves you In the mood In which reading Dickens' 'Chrlstmal Carol' leaves ion. ion."The "The play was perfectly presented In every detail , with beautiful scenery , fine costumes and excellent acting. The house was crowded with n typical Sol Smith Rus sell audience , nn audience of the actor's friends , who were made closer friends by 'A Bachelor's Romance. ' See It. If you fol low this advice you will thank the writer for having given It. " Sol Smith Rusbell will appear at Boyd's In "A Bachelor's Romance" two nights , De cember 1 und 2 , with a Wednesday matinee. The Girl I Left Behind me , " presented by ono of Charles Frohman's companies , will bo seen at the Crelghton for three nights , commencing Sunday , November 29 , when , no doubt , tills popular military drama will re- celvo a cordial welcome. The company dur ing the present tour is said to include a number of players whoso efforts added greatly to the unqualified success scored during the original Now York run. May Irvvln and John C. Rico In "Tho Widow Jones" will bo a Creighton nttrac tlon In the near future. At the Nebraska Music hall the Gibbons Mammoth Specialty company will be the at traction for the coming week. The follow ing artists will appear : Jessie Lee , vocalist ; Freda Maloof , muscle dancer ; Dolores Sis ters , acrobatic dancers ; Thomas Gibbons Irish melodies ; Ed Brumago , silence nnd fun ; Hattie Clark , black plcklnlnny ; May Cameron , song artist ; Jeanette Rose , horn pipe dancer ; Winnie Adams , vocalist ; Edlo Norrls , In latest selections ; Guyetto and Ne ville , monologue artists and parodists ; TIlllo Strong , sero-comlc hits , and Ruby Knight "tho plain American girl. " The question of an orchestra In Omaha Is Just now prominently before the public , and It Is fitting that it bo given most care ful and deliberate consideration. Three things are necessities to being a capable orchestral musician ; a musical temperament , technical skill , and ensemble routine. The first must bb born In him : the second he acquires by lessons and Individual practice ; the last comes only with experience as a ; ) layer with other players In an orchestra. Technical skill cannot take the place of : hls experience. An orchestral player must bo familiar with the kind of music lip Is to play. Such a school as the ordinary theater orchestra does not nt a musician for playing Uosthoven or Wagner. With their music before him ho Is a stranger In n strange land , and no matter how devoutly he may reverence their great names , he cannot be an instrument for the expression of their Ideas and feelings Their language Is a dead one to him , for ho has replaced It with the dialect of the lower classes of musical composers. To expect him to correct his trammer and rhetoric In two or three re hearsals is to Invite sure disappointment. Musicians are not made by any other pro ceed than that of slow growth. The player who earns his living In the ihcatci and ball-room finds It difficult to Tollow a conductor. He Is accustomed to being led by hla car , rather than by his eye. Ho listens to the theater leader and lilays as ho plajs , and when he suddenly finds himself face to face with a strange composition , and nothing to. guldo him but a stick waving to nnd fro In the air heIs not himself ; ho cannot do himself Justice. Ho Is out of his element , and he loses con- Ideneo ; ho begins to frel his way , and goes trom bad to worse. When ho has counted Ills fifteen barn rest he hesitates to play licplng to catch eomo sound which shall tell him that ho Is right. A musician without confidence In himself Is as bad off as u ship without a propeller. Successful orchestral playing can eomo only from experience , and under the condl- tbus which exist In this city at the present time , that experience can bo gained only In relicnrsal. Ono of the greatest obstacles to tlio musician's success is that ono of the customs of his engagement Is that ho asks , a certain amount for the concert porfoimance nnd n certain altler amount for each re- hcasol. The person giving the concert feelfl compelled , as a matter of economy , to set along with the few oil poinlble rehcarsalt. and as a consequence , the performance suffers. If musicians could be engaged for n certain - tain amount for thu performance , and with the understanding that all thu relicaisals bo they few or many necessary to a satis factory performance could bo held without extra cobt the pcrfoiuianco lUclf would ho greatly Improved , the public would be plentiud , and the demand for the musicians' services would bo Increased. In the long run ho wnuld be the one most benefited , for he would not only get more work to do , but , as his skill Increased , ho wouldm \ the more jcady to perform bin part In n worthy manner and with fewer rehearsals. The Mutlcal society had three on-hchtra rehfnraals to prepare the eleven numbers for Its rt'com concert In which the orihehtrn had a part. At no ono of these rcliennMi w ro all the Dlavern DICHCUI. and two at , the most Important , who hnd been present nt the rehearsals , wcro absent from thu performance. Such uncertainty Is fatnl to satisfactory public work , nnd the result Is Injurious to all the players since nil nru blamed for the entire result and to every body clso connected with the affair. The first concert of the Omaha Symphony orchestra Is announced for Tuesday night nt Boyd's , with Huns Albert , Lillian Terry and Joseph Gahm as soloists. The high character of the promoters of this altogether commendable project , together with the re sult of recent rehearsals , indicates that Omaha music lovers , In according A goner OUR patronage , will add a consldcrabl amount of artistic appreciation to the con sclousncss of having assisted a worthy en tcrprlse.

It Is the Imperla Opera company , organized and managed by .tho veteran hnprcEsarlc ? , Colonel J. II. Ma- rielson. The company Is at present singing at that old home of Italian opera In New York , the Academy of Music , and during the several weeks of Its engagement there has achieved great success. This company num bers among Its singers many of the beat Italian artists of today and renders the Italian school of music with all the old time fire and enthusiasm. It Is not often that at this longitude one can hear grand opera done by a first-class company. The reason Is that the patronage Is not sufficient to enable the management to pay expenses. II Omaha desires to bo Included In the route of first-data attractions she must make It pay them to come here. Dararosch lost money hero last year , and nothing has been heard of his coining again. It Mapelson loses he won't come again , and If he docsn' somebody who stayed at home when ho was hero will bo growling because "you can't hear any good music In Omaha. " Of course you can't when you stay at home. They do not stay at home in New York when a good thing Is going on , and last week New Yorkers heard Mr. Mapelson's company produce "Andrea Chenlcr , " a fine opera never heard before in this country ; a concert by the Boston Symphony orchestra , the finest orchestra In the world ; a perform ance by the Philharmonic orchestra under the direction of Mr. Anton Soldi ; the won derful pianist Rcsentbal , with the New York Symphony orchestra , under the direction of Mr. Damrosch ; another wonderful pianist Martlnus Sleveklng with Mr. Damrosch and his crchrstra ; a new violinist , Carl Hallr , and at the Metropolitan opera house Gou nod's "Faust , " sung by Mine. Melba , Mine. Mantclll , Jean do Rcezkc , Edward dc Rcszkc , the great French baritone , Lasselle , con ducted by Signer Manclnclll. Think of It , all this In one week' and nothing1 has been said of numerous other performances of opera and concerts of all kinds. Leopold Godowsky , the pianist announced for n concert hero December 7 , Is worthy of patronage. He Is probably the finest player who has the right to call hlmsolf an Ameri can , and will gtvo a performance such as would fill the largest concert hall of Berliner or Paris. HOMER MOORE.

IMmSIIJU.M1 hCIIUIMIAX .MAY COMC. IIciiil of Cornell UiilvrrNlty Thliikx AVt'll of a Wen tern Trip. In reply to a letter of Inquiry , concerning : ils western trip during the holidays , Prea- .dcnt Schurman of Cornell university has written C. S. Young of this city that while 10 may take such a trip , It has not been fully leclded upon. In hla letter ho says : "I lave not promised to take a western trip during the holidays , but. In rcspon.se to on nvltatlon from Denver , I said that while : could not accept that invitation alone , if a number of our alumni associations In im portant western centers would Invlto mo to meet with them at dates following ono an other ss closely as the distance between the cities made it advisable , I should be lad to consider the Invitations , and hoped bat It might bo possible for mo to make the trip. " This leaves the matter In the hands of the Cornell alumni of the western cities and they will probably soon arrange a series of entertainments In the various cltlcn for the distinguished collegian that will bo agree able to htm and pleasing to themselves. 1'OLICC.Mn.V CONCCALUIJ M'CAUTV. Story of the UHCIIIIO Told by Ell II. IJOIlll. Ell H. Doud , ex-city attorney of South Omaha , now located at Boonc , la. , was In the city Thursday attending to some busi ness In the district court. Doud was one of the attorneys employed by Vic McCarly to defend him for shooting and robbing Vdam Kaa near Fort Crook. Doud says bat after McCarty escaped from the county all he reached South Omaha by way of lie Hanscom park road and went to the residence of a policeman who lived In the Third ward , had supper at the homo of the policeman and during the night went o Albright , where he met one of his brothers and another policeman. The 'policeman gave ilm a revolver and then assisted him to conceal himself In an old well on a farm icar by. He stayed In the well for two days and then went to LaPlatte , where ho lay n a cellar for two weeks while his brothers nistled money for him to get out of the country on. Doud thinks McCarty Is In Cuba , but more likely In Missouri with relatives. Holler & Co. , tailors. 215 South 13th street , Unity dull Cl > l < > Hlxtory Section.

At a special meeting of the Principal's , club at the Board of Education rooms Fri day night , the question of a teachers' pension law was again discussed and sonic Important details decided upon. H was decided that the assessments would begin as soon as the law became operative , but that no pensions should be paid until after January 1 , 1900. It was also settled that teachers and prin cipals should bo placed on an equality , no far as tha operation of the law was con cerned. Copies of the law , with the pro posed amcndemcnts , will now bo distributed among' the teachers , who will then bo given an opportunity to vote on Its advisability.

P. Haze , Sergeant D. P. Her , Jailer P. P. Havey and Pa trol Conductor James Kirk of the police force , accusing them of being derelict In their duty , In that they did not take proper care of James McGuIre , the boy whose skull was fractured on elec tion night by William Campbell , and who died from his Injuries in the police station. The charges are signed by Ed McGulrc , father of the dead boy. McGwire and bis aged and sick wife hnvo always considered since the death of their son that the blow which was struck by Campbell was acci dentally fatnl. They therefore nrc not venge ful townrd him , but they have been Indig nant that their boy , while suffering from the Injury , was thrown Into a cell and al lowed to die without medical attention and attendance. Thev feel that If a physician had been summoned his life might possibly have been saved , The old couple have been also considerably wrought up that they were not Informed of the hoy's condition , although the police officers knew them and their residence. They were not told that the boy had been slugged and were not Informed of his death until two hours after it occurred , The boy died before 4 o'clock , and It was 6:30 : before the father heard of the fact. Jailer Havey says that when McGuIre was brought to the station with his two com panions , Wadum and Castlcton , nt 11 o'clock , he requested ono of the latter to Inform the Injured boy's family of the affair. He said both promised to do so , nnd relying upon this promise he took no further steps to notify the relatives. After the usual formal opening , the charges set out , "That James McGuIre was brutally and fatally assaulted on Douglas street , In the city of Omaha , about the hour of 10:30 : o'clock In the evening ; that said Jamcn McGulro was rendered entirely unable to taku care of himself by reason of said assault ; that said James McGulro was not In the ccmmlsslon of any unlawful act and had not violated any of the laws of the state or ordinances of the city of Omaha ; that said James McGuire was first allowed to bo upon the street for a considerable period of time after his condition was made known by telephoning to the police station , that subsequently said James McGulro was picked up by said officers , or some of them and cruelly and brutally handled , thrown Into a patrol wagon , taken to the police sta tion , and In a cruel , Inhuman and brutal manner drugged from the patrol wagon down , the steps of the police station ; that while said James McGulro was In said po- llco station , ho was a largo portion of the time unconscious from his Injury ; that It was apparent to said officers that ho was dangerously and perhaps fatally Injured ; that there was no charge pending against him and yet the said officers cast him Into a cell as a common fcloc , and wholly neglec ted to provide any necessaries for him or to secure the attendance of a physician , or to notify any of the friends or relatives of the said James McGulro of his condition , al though eald officers knew said James Mc GuIre and knew where this complainant , his father , was and could bo found ; that said officers cruelly nnd brutally neglected to perform their duty toward said James McGuIre , but locked him up in a cell and left him there , moaning plteously for help until after 4 o'clock on the following mornIng - Ing , at which time said James McGulrc died from his Injuries and from the brutal treat ment and cruel neglect of said officers. Wherefore this complainant requests an examination of these several matters , that the said officers and any others shown to be guilty of dereliction of duty In connection with said James McGulro may bo dealt with according , as the circumstances of the case demand. " The charges will probably bo formally brought up at the meting of the board Mon day night. M-E-Thlrfy I' . M. Train. of the CHICAGO. MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL RY.

About Prescriptions The past few months our prescription trade ImH Increased wonderfully the people nrc fu t finding out tlmt we lO save them at least DO per cent on picscrlptlons. The reason for this In , wo do not pay oflleo rent 01 a percentage to Doc to plug for us. If vvo did wo would be compelled to charge as high rates ns these 2x4 Pets. We hope these Docs will continue to plug harder than ever against us the harder they plup the more they convince the public that they get a "rako-oft" on their proscrip tions from these 2vl Pots. This talk about pure , fresh drugx Is all bosh. When a Doc insists upon having the prescription filled und sent to your home ho does It to make sure of his percentage , lie's a nly fox.
