THE OirATTA DATT/V 11E13 : WKDAV. Tlri3jntEn ) 20. 1800. - - - - ' . * > iTTf'f V 1 AMUSEMENTS. I f Diirlnt ; the past week the final curtain has liccn ninR down upon lljo earthly career ot two men of 'exceeding prominence upon the stftgp. Holh wcro foreigners hy hlrth anil Americana hy choice ami naturalization. One , the not unworthy son of that Italian who was Incomparably the greatest actor ( if his day In tragic roles , died In his natlvo land after a lingering and distressing Ill ness , the nature and causes of which baftlcd the best medical skill. The other , whose In herited genius was fostered and developed hy the artistic tnsto which mailu him In sonio respects the most remarkable nnd easily the most popular prestidigitator of modern times , answered his last summons In his luxurious private railway car , having played the night bo fore nnd retired to rest apparently In his usual health. Both will he missed hy theater-goers from Maine to California. In different ways and for varying kinds of people their places will not readily ho filled. Thousands will feel that the world Is a poorer place olnce the unMmcly passing of Alexander Salvlnl , and as many others will ho conscious , as successive seasons conic and go , that something Is wanting to their complctu happiness In the continued absence of Hermann , the magician. The writer enjoyed a personal acquaint ance with Alexander Salvlnl , extending over eoveral years. Ills acquaintance was n thing to ho enjoyed as well as to he prized. He was a charming fellow always and most com- panlonahlo with those whom ho liked ; modest in his estimate of his own powers , seemingly unaffected hy his success , talking freely to his friends ahout his trials , plans nnd aspirations and lending a ready car to these of others. Ho had a grand physique , inherited , with his artistic temperament , from his great father. Ho seemed , at the lost sight ot htm , like one who was as secure - cure as mortal man can be against the an- saults of disease and death. On the occasion of his last engagement here , ahout a year ago , ho played "Hamlet" for the first tlmo In Omaha and among the first times ho had played It anywhere. The writer found much to commend In his Im personation of the somber prlnco , but was constrained to withhold praise from certain feature * of It which seemed to him fatally Inadequate. Having freely expressed his views In this regard through the columns of The Dee , ho was a llttlo doubtful ns to the cordiality ot his subsequent reception by Salvlnl. with whom ho was to talto luncheon on the morrow. Hut no small anl- mosliy lingered In that warm heart. The welcoming grip of the hand was quite as hearty ilio hospitality as lavish , as ever. Ho was not quite prepared * to accept wholly the writer's estimate of his "Hamlet" nor nt once to alter his conception of the part on the lines suggested ; but he was generous enough th admit the possibility of Improve ment and to compliment The lice's notice of his performance. On another occasion the writer1 , happening to possess n rather good copy ot "Tho Three Guardsmen , " with Illustrations by Maurice Lololr. brought It down one night to Salvlnl's dressing room , when that artist was about to appear as U'Artagnan. Salvlnl was de lighted to see the book. Ho had a copy Just like It , ho said , but h had left It be hind and was glad to have the opportunity of once moro comparing his stags pictures with the drawings of Ldolr. "I don't know whether you have noticed , " ho Bald. In his beautiful Iluent English , which showed only the faintest suspicion of n trnco of foreign accent , "that we repro duce a good many of those pictures on the stage ? For Instance , this one" showing the spirited drawing of the four friends walk ing off arm In arm after the llrst duel , tak ing up the whole width ot the street and carrying the swords of their vanquished ad versaries "If wo get n double call after this act I'll show , you that picture very true to the llfiV Hut the auillcnco was small and cold and the actors o'rily 'got ono call ; iiiiil. ' although they wcro standing ready for the oppor tunity , they were not permltteid to mnka that particular picture at that particular time. The chief Incidents of Alexander Salvlnl's llfti nro well known. His father tried to ninku n civil engineer of him , but the boy's leaning toward the stage was o strong that the old man Dually abandoned his attempt to hldo the light of hl.s son's genius under the bushel of mathematics nnd gave him the advnntago of his own Instruction In the actor's art. Alexander canio to this country. WHS at once taken Into A. M. Palmer's Union Square company , having at that tlmo studied EngJIsh only three months , nnd made pro digious nnd rapid advancement , both In the acquisition of tbo language and In all the requirements of his calling. Ho had no lack of opportunities. He was wanted by , the host , companies , the most discriminating managers. Hu accompanied his father on the- two lust tours which that Illustrious actor made In this country , supported Margaret Mather for a time In romantic roles , and returned subsequently to Mr. 1'almer In the Madison Square company. Then ho became A star and in that capacity ho was steadily advancing toward the place left vacant by Tomasso Sulvlnl'ti retirement , when death took him at the age ot 35. X Hermann probably enjoyed a greater per sonal popularity than any "magician" whoever over appearad behind the footlights. He brought forward but few new tricks and Illu sions from year to year. Thcro was no need that he should do do , since the old ones wore Infallibly aec.vptable. Hu had emphatically "a way with him. " None of his competi tors could equal him In charm of manner upon the stage.Vlio cannot sea him at this moment in the mind's eye. walking on briskly , clad In his black court suit and carrying his wand un lor hla arm , pulling off his gloves as hu advanced and palming ( hum neatly us ho reached the . 'outer ? And who cannot hear his bright monologue and constant stream of humnwus comment as ho/ performed hi * Inexplicable feats ? Other prontldlgltarors may work the same miracles with equal skill and may ili-vis ? frwh won ders for iho mystifying of mankind , but there Is not likely ever again to ha to well- bclored u necromancer as Hermann. The manager of a certain company which has Iwcn sho-.vltiR at on of the local theaters during a part of the pi'sl ' week , and which , by reason of Its almost entire lack of merit , wcs unfavorably noticed hy Tlie lice , called on tlio dramatic editor yesterday and ex pressed , with all the freedom which the- cir cumstances permitted , lib very mean opinion of Omav.In general , and of the man who noticed his show In particular.

" The Hco Is well known among the reputable branches of the theatrical profession ns a newspaper which cannot bo worked. It sends men whom It considers competent to write fair nnd Intelligent notices of theatrical perform ances nnd has not thus far found them flerl- ously wrong In their judgments. In the cane under consideration It may bj gravely doubted whether the notice was half severe enough. _ I'.VOIItH , Klnw & Krlangep will present "Tho Lady Slavey" at the Crclghton theater Tuesday and Wednesday nights , December " 2 and 23 , when that play will be staged by the same company which was Instrumental In achieving Its great successes In New York , Hoston and Philadelphia. The story of "Tho Lady Slavey" Is of a modernized Cinderella. A gentleman tottering on the edge of financial ruin Is the father of five beautiful daughters , one of whom con ceives the Idea of assuming the role of the "slavey" ( the Engllsn tltlo given a mnli ! of all work ) . In order that appearances at least may bo kept up to a respectable degree. An American millionaire has leased HID adjoining estate. The solo aim of the other four girls Is to rupture , him , and from day to day all sorts of creditors are staved off on the promise that the en gagement of one of them to this wealthy young man will shortly bo made public. Sheriffs and their ofllccrs take possession of the house , hut are cajoled Into perform ing the duties of coachmen and footmen hy the llttlo slavey. A music hall singer by the name e > f Flo Honcydew ( Marie Dressier ) appears on the scene escorted by her great admirers , Ixird Lavender and Ikoy Dlnkclblnkcl , and greatly complicates the efforts of the young folks , but like all stories It comes out all right In the end , and the sweet llttlo house drudge secures the prize without any effort on her part. This musical comedy Is presented by a remarkably strong company of comedians. The principals are the same as at the New York Casino , nnd livludo Dan Daly , whose womlorous legs , sonorous voice nnd solemn visage are well known quantities ; Mnrle Dressier , the Jjrcczy comedienne , who has always been n popular favorite hero , has a part suited to her talents. The other members nio Annie Huckloy , Charles Dauby , the well known Kngllsh comedian ; Richard Carlo , Charlie Klrke , Marie George , Jessie Carlisle. Clara Fronton and La Petite Ade laide. He-sides these there Is a large chorus. A matinee will bo given Wednesday. "Tho American Olrl" will bo scon at Hoyd's for four nights , commencing with n matinee today , with H. E. ( Iob ) ) Uraham playing the principal role of Hess Holler. an American "hustler. " Mr. . Graham Is said to have In this comedy a better oppor tunity for the display of his ability than anything which he has previously done. 'The American Girl" Is the work of H. Orattan Donnelly , an author of no little prominence , who has given birth to a play which Is oalel exactly to ( It the artist for whom It was Intended. The Christmas attraction nt the Crclgh ton will bo Conway & Ledcrer's popular Casino success , "Tho Merry World , " which met with popular favor during the engage ment here last season. Many of the features which pleased last year have been retained and now ones nddcd , which , It Is said , ren ders the performance more enjoyable than heretofore.

An unique entertainment will he pro vided for all lovers of merry Christmas by the ? producllon of a genuine Mystery Play at St. Phllomcna's hall , Ninth and How- nrd streets , on Christmas evening nt 8 o'clock. Mystery plays ore of very ancient origin nnd were Immensely popular lu England be fore the reformation , as well as through out the continent of Europe. Mystery plays present to the people In a nlmplc , graphic manner the great truths on which the Chris tian religion Is based. The best known of the m > stcry plays of modern times Is the world-famed of Oberam- now - passion ploy - mcnau In Havnrla. .which was performed In 1X90 and will not be again rehearsed till tltOO.

I MUSIC. - Christmas music may be said to have be gun when the angels sang to the shepherds upon the hills of Palestine , "Glory to God In the highest , and on earth peace , good will toward men. " The echo of that song ban reverberated In the ears and hearts of men nnd women , In all lands , among all nations , and In all the ages that have succeeded one another slnco that memorable night when the child Jesus was born In Bethlehem. Jesus , the baby lying asleep In a manger. but destined to mold the thoughts nnd feelIngs - Ings of millions upon millions of human bclngu and shape the myriads of actions which nil their lives. Christmas , or the celebration of the birth day of ChrHt , was Instituted some 300 yearn aflcr Ihe year In which that event actually occurred. No one knows upon what day or even In what lime of Ihe year It was that Jesus was born , and December 25 Is only n day appointed for a celebration of the event. Many Christian festivals were Instituted In the place of those of the Jewish or Homan religions , and It has been claimed that Christmas succeeded the Saturnalia , a revel that would hardly be permitted at the pres ent time. Us most Important features were singing , dancing and playing upon Instru ments , and the giving nnd receiving of presents. The Christian churches of Egypt and Asia celebrated the nativity upon January C , but the Homan.s fixed upon December 25. This was the "Hrunmlla" or winter solstice , and upon It the Pagans annually celebrated the birth of the un. The middle ages wore prolific In festivals and extended Chrlstmastldc to a whole week , which In England became known as yuletlde. named from "yule , " or "hue ] , " meaning a wheel , nnd standing for the sun , Its representative being a largo log , called the yule-clog. It was n time of great gaiety and eating and drinking. Songs not par ticularly pious were composed and snug. The Purllaiid regarded these diversions with holy horror , and did not hesitate to compare them to the old Saturnallan or Ilacchanal- lan festivals of the heathen Romans. The custom of decorating churchevj and houses In evergreen Is supposed to have been derived from n like cuslom that prevailed among the Druids. In the sixth century the churches of the cast united with those of the xvcst and now all celcbralo Ihe na tivity upon December 25. * * * The oldest form 'of Christmas music and poetry Is the carol. There was one composed by Aurcllus Prudentlus In tlio fourth cen tury , nnd there Is every reason to believe that they existed as early as the beginning of the Christinas celebration. A carol was originally a rang In such a rhythm that it could accompany dancing. "It appears to have been danced by many performers , by taking bunds , forming In a ring and t'lnglng as they went around. " Carols were set to sacred or secular words , and were sung In the midst of great hilarity and carousal. In Puritan times David's Psalms were set to tunes , many of them sc-cular In nature and origin. In 1G42 a bcok was published with the following tltlo : "Ccrtalne of David's Paalmes Intended for Christmas Car ols , Fitted to the Most Sollempne Tunes Everywhere Famlllarlle Used ; by William Slaylcr , Printed by Hobert Younge. " The reader Is not Informed whether David , Mr. Slaytcr , or Mr. Youngo "intended" them "for Christmas Carols. " ' Christmas music has become an Important factor In the world of art. "Tho Messiah" Is performed In many cities at ChristmtG time nnd dos much to keep alive a good healthy taste for the glories of the old and original school of oratorio. Hut/ for the yearly performance of "The Messiah" there are cities In this country that would never hear a work hy Handel , and but for the prld ? In giving a Christmas performance of this work It would not bo heard. The churches nil over the world make special preparation for Christmas music , and songs and anthems by the hundred have been writ ten for this great festival. Jiy far the great est work ever composed for the Christmastide - tide services of the church Is tbo "Christmas Oratorio , " by John Sebastian Bach. This wonderful work was composed In 1734. when Hach was CO years of age. It was written to he performed at St. Thomas church In Leipzig for the regular celebration of the Christmas festival. The work Is in six parts , each Intended for n particular service on a particular day , namely. Christmas day , Dscember 26 and 27 , New Year's day , the following Sunday and the feast of the Epiphany. In the German Reformed church the celebration began December 25 and ended January C. thus Including the day celebrated by the churches of Egypt nnd Asia nnd that by the Roman world. What a choir Uach must have had to prepare such music for a regular church service ! Largo oratorio societies fear to undertake It , 'and Its first production In London , December 15 , 1S73 , was looked upon as a musical event ot the greatest Importance , linen's choir was not fed upon the twaddle known as "Gospel Songs/ ' nor did he hold that music must bo written down to the level of the ignorance of a public that knows nothing of art and never will If left to Itself. Hach was an Intensely religious man and believed that music In a church service had a holy mission to perform. As an expression of human emo tions It could become the dlvlno language of religion and the vehicle eif worship. The pride In Christmas music docs much for the development of art , and certainly deserves the encouragement ot musicians. The church has always been a powerful factor In the world's inimical development or degradation , and when It lends Its aid to the cause of musical progress better times for both church and music may bo expected. One cannot degrade the language by which ho expresses his feelings without degrading the feelings themselves to the level of his language. * Christmas Is a time of Joy and good will , but there are many people engaged In study. Ing music who make It uu excuse for1 wast ing time. We can make money and friends- and successes , but we cannot make even an Instant of time. When It Is gone ) It Is gone forever and our chances for usefulness arc diminished Just so much. It Is a strange fact that music pupils feel called upon to "kill time. " It Is their best friend. A minute U long enough In which to learn something that may ho of value us long as one lives. Waiting "until after Christmas" Is ono of the greatest Injuries done by that celebration to these who are Interested In music. The season Is then half gene and halt of a year's opportunities are lost for ever. A vacation of a week or two at Christ mas would ho a timely rest and would glvo ono now energy with which to finish the season's work. Hut no vacation Is needed by those who get to their work at the last minute nnd leave It upon the slightest prov ocation. Children's services at Christmas tlmo are often productive ) ot much good. There are Christmas carols suitable for the llttlo onto thai can forward the growth of the divine art In their hearts and open the way that leads onward Into all Hu glories , The music of the nlolfihb lVipts seldom heard , even In this cold cllnjafo , as nature seems anything but prodigal wJlJrher snow. Bui year afley year the fliiwtmna tree nnd the Christmas hours ot Rlndlkss come , a beauti ful nnd flttlns otanz.i liilnc IMulm of life , nnd the music of hcnrta sounding the chords of "peace , ge > od will toward man , " carries us back across the aifis < fo the manger In llethlchcm nnd trlls imottT again that the harmony of hearts la inoinualc ot hc.tvcii. The concerl given lay Thursday evening nl Ihe Crclghton thcntri by the Omaha Mu sical society demonstrated beyond n doubt that there Is ability enough In thli city to glvo high class performances even on the shortest notice and unlltif.the most unfavor able circumstances. A fiutable featureof the performance was tho.work of the orchca- tra. So far this season'threeconcerts had been given In which an orchestra assisted. In the first one the work done was severely criticised ; In the others ; It wen passed over as perhaps as gftod as could he expected. Last Thuisday evening twcnty-acvon musi cians , all residents cf this city or Council Lluffs ) played an overture of the old Italian school , a scherzo from a symphony of the German romantic school , nn excerpt from n Wagner opera , to a chcrus from a Kuailan opera , to another solo from yet another Wagner opera , to a violin concerto , to an aria from' ' a French opera , to n part song by a modern German composer , nnd to a selec tion from a sort of Italian oratorio.

The Carlisle Indiana defeated the University of Wisconsin foot ball eleven tonight by a acarc of IS to S. Two of their touchdowns were scored In the second half hy steady , peialstcnt hammer ing at Wisconsin's center , thu tactics which told so heavily on Yale. The lladgcrs , who were In none of the beat condition , were simply unable to hold them. Wisconsin lost much ground for offside playing , and , In fact , the touchdown of the Indians In the flrst half wns directly attributable to thia. Karcl. as usual , did nome brilliant playing for the Hadgers , one run of twunly-\flve yards being innelc through n maze of tack- lew , lie was unfortunate , however , In catching punts , and the yellow painted roof evidently militated greatly against accurate catching. Hoth teams played clean , hard foot hall. It was simply a caae of condition and the magnificent form displayed by the Indiana made the Issue n certainty after they secured the ball In the second half. Between 12,000 and 14.000 people aaw the game. Ex-Senator Spooner of Wisconsin , an old Wisconsin graduate , and a party of friends occupied a box , as did President Adams of the Wisconsin university. Ho was accompanied hy a number of the faculty. The crowd rather favored the Indians. Prob ably KOO students from the Badger State unlvcwlty had accompanied the team from Madison to cheer Ihcm , nnd the Wisconsin alumni were also represented.

The1 Indians were late In putting In nn appearance , not coming un til 8:10 : p. in. They were wildly e.hcercd . us they tossed the ball around. Carlisle won the toss and chose the. north goal. Tlio playing In the flrst half was fierce on both sides. Wisconsin's backs easily ex celled the Indians , who were rather sloxv In getting started. On the other hand , the mas sive men on the Carlisle line frequently tore big holes through the Badgers , arrtl when It came to n case of weight against weight , Invariably shoved the ball along for yards. The Wisconsin men did much better , how ever , than their friends expected. INDIANS SCOUR FIHST.
