AMUSEMENTS. $
The ther.lcrs furnished good entertain
jnont early In the week , and were pell pat
ronized. "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. _ _ _ _ _ _

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

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.

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

Omaha has a great treat In store for the
opening of the new year. 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.

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.

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.

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.
[ < * rein the expressions of opinion received
by the principals It Is believed that a ma
jority of the teachers are In favor of the
Ejectment SultH AKiiIiiHt SqiinttcrM.
City Attorney Conncll has commenced
proceedings In cjcotment against Charles

Yesterday morning chnrgcs were filed with
the Fire ni.d Police commissioners against
Captain II. 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.

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.
