As I have observed In these columns dur
ing Its progress , I now reiterate after Its
close , that the year 1890 was the greatest
sporting epoch ot the century. In all parts
of the world have In and outdoor sports nnd
pastimes flourished with unusual vigor , and
much International excitement wns Infused
Into many of the struggles for supremacy ,
and nt no time during the year was Interest
In such mnttera allowed lo flag. There
have been many great performances and
more record-breaking by both man nnd
horse than wus ever chronicled In a similar
period. Man has run , ridden , fought and
Jumped better , nnd the horse reached within
nn Infinitesimal fraction ot the Ideal stand
ard of equine speed. That John R. Gentry
paced n nillo In 2:00 : % has been heralded
to all quarters of the civilized globe , and
this marvelous feat alone lifted the light
harmus racing campaign far above the
level of mediocrity , and adding to this
Robert J's 2:01'/j : , Star Pointer's 2:02'/2 : , Joe
Patchcn's 2:03 : and Frnnk Agan's 2:03 : % ,
makes a year ot brilliant achievements
likely to Illuminate the corridor of tlmo on
through the century.
Among the thoroughbreds the racing sca-
flon dues not loom up with a magnitude
commensurate with that of the other lines
of sport , and still It was far from proving
a disappointment , and thcro were mnn >
really meritorious performances to engross
the attention ot the sport-loving world. In
the early part of the season It was ex
pected that Haltna , Hen Brush , Clifford ,
Henry of Navarre , Hastings , Handspring ,
Kccnnn , Requital and other aged nnd youth
ful Jumpers would set the running turf
on fire. But they nil fell short of cxpcctn-
tlons , with the possible exception of the
Hclmant wonder , who won In the Suburban
the ono great and sensational race of the
year.
AVhllo we have but llttlo opportunity out
here on the p'ralrle to see any boating or
rowing , all lovera of this popular pastime
have kept In touch with the doings nt more
favored localities. Seven or eight years ago
the Omaha and Council Bluffs Rowing as-
Hoclatlon furnished us with considerable
sport In midsummer nnd full , but of late
years they have fallen Into Innocuous
desuetude and n shell cutting the blue waters
of Manawa today wojild probably bo taken
for come abnormal creature of the deep
This association , 1 might ndd , Is still In ex
istence , but nbsolutely Inactive. Of course
the fact that there was no America's cup
race had n decidedly deleterious effect upon
nquntlcs , hut even the lack of this grand
world's feature came In nowise near of dis
couraging the sport , and there were quite
ns many boats In commission on both sides
of the continent as over. While the Dun-
raven Htinrl brought about a cessation of
racing among the flrst-classera there was
plenty of argument going on between the
umall fry and two International affairs that
caused no llttlo general Interest. In both
of these affairs , however. It Is humiliating
to record , the United States craft wert
clearly outsailed by their Canadian relatives
The oarsmen , however , imade up for al
discrepancies on the- water , the amateurn
being particularly In evidence. From the
Decoration day regatta of the Harlem as-
Hoclatlon , when the University" of Pennsyl
vania crew triumphed over the famous
Bohemians , down to the announcement a
few weeks ago of Harvard's sweeping re
form In her rowing policy , the season has
been ono continuous round of sensations
The Yale crew's failure to capture the his
toric Grand Challenge cup at the Henley
regatta was the one blot and disappointment
of the year. The Intercollegiate four-
cornered race at Poughkcepsle cut a big
figure In the year's Incidents , as the crow
least suspected , Cornell , carried off the
honors. The amateur oarsmen nlso crentec
quite a furore during their regatta at
Saratoga , when young Ten Eyck , the acion
of an old rowing family , made a name for
himself. In the professional realm the one
big event was the winning of the world's
championship by the old St. Louis t > cullcr
Jake Gaudnur , In England , from Stansbury
the big Australian champion. I milght adi
that the beating of the English four by
Gaudnur's quartet at Halifax , August 1 , was
also a world's championship affair , and a
very Interesting ono at that.
Thcro has been but little Indulgence in
the Scottish game ot golf In or about Omaha
the Patricks , at Happy Hollow , running the
only links , I believe , to be found here
abouts. Hut because thin simple- game has
found but a modicum of favor with Oma-
hans Is no reason that It did not flourish
clsowhere , for It did. In the effete cast it
created quite a furore , and on the coast was
bloomed out unexpectedly nil over the
country , with the exception of this Inter
mediate district , and the year was n memn-
rablo ono on this side of the wet for the or
ganization of new clubs and the laying out
of new links.
Of the two foreign national pastimes , the
Scot's golf and the Johnny Hull's cricket , the
latter has run away with the former. Hut
that Is to bo little wondered at. for cricket Is
a game and a popular ono , old as the hills
themselves , and In certain sections of the
United States has from tlmo Immemorial al
most been ( Irmly entrenched. The past
tsc.1801 at the wickets was an unusual ) }
miccctsaful one , both locally and In the
ast and west , and extremely Interesting
from an International standpoint. Tiio
visit from the great Australian eleven , which
wo came within an ace of seeing hero Ir
Omaha , gave the old game a big boom , am !
the present year will likely see much more
of the sport on this side the pond than ever
Hut of all sports of the calendar no
branch has enjoyed such exaggerated con-
splculty as that of athletics , here , abroai :
and everywhere. The revival of the Olym
pic games nt Athens , Greece , of course was
Instrumental In giving athletics "generally
u remarkable Impetus , nnd the effects of
this wonderful tourney nro to bo fell
through many decades. The plucky Amcrl-
. can athletes who traveled thousands eli
i miles to meet the sturdy Greeks covorec :
themselves with glory by making nn al
most clean nwcep of all the events. They
r Jbled up all the sprints , jumps , hurdles ,
discus throwing and revolver shooting , beside -
. side ; ) a large number of less consequcntla :

the "feet runners. " In polo vaulting ,
weight throwing , jumping and hurdling the
evcntfl have been Innumerable nnd wondrous ,
the American and English standards all
being lowered.
Haso ball , the national game of this coun
try , wns nlso blessed with n most success
ful Reason , the big lenRtte gathering In
shekels and glory by the carload. Hero In
Omaha our enjoyment was confined to
amateurish attempts , and , while they were
Hatlsfactory enough , they fell far short of
the real thing , nnd a strenuous effort should ,
nnd most likely will be , made to restore
the professional clacs In this city before
the opening of our Transmlsslsslppl year ,
1S9S. Haso ball never was on a sounder
basis than at the present time , but exceed
ing care Is necessary to maintain this happy
condition. A pushing of the Hnsle case In
the courts might destroy the foundations of
professional base ball. The capitalists In
terested In the sport are all making money ,
the playcra nre abundantly nwnrdcd for
their services , nnd the public Is Intensely
Interested In the championship races.
What more could bo desired ? Hotter patch
up the Rusle affair without going Into the
courts.
Sports afield and at the trap were bounte
ously favored during the year Just closed.
In all the game regions of the country thcro
has been n veritable plethora of fur , fin nm :
feather , and campers and tourists have hat !
such sport as has marked no similar period
In n decade. At the trap there has been
unprecedented activity not only nt home , but
In , nil parts of the land , nnd In England.
Franco and Germany as well. Just now the
Omaha sportsmen nro almost Incredibly alive
to the beauties of this fine sport , nnd during
the past fall months we have had more
matches and more sweepstakes than was to be
witnessed during the past four years com
bined. This Is but ono ot the healthful signs
of the times , nnd I hope ) no cloud will nrlso
to blacken our prospects nnd dampen our en
thusiasm.
The boys who glory In chrysanthemum
hair have likewise been right In the thick
of the push. In fact , the foot balllsts came
pretty nearly taking solo possession of the
land , despite the walling and croaking ot
that class with n cinch on heaven. The
surprises of the season have been many
chief among which , perhaps , wns the de
feat of the Thurston Rifles by the
Omaha guardsmen. Next to this over
whelming event comes the downfall o
Pennsylvania nt the hands of the Lafayette
college team. Princeton's splendid victories
over Harvard and Yale were star features
ns has also been the playing of the Carlisle
Injuns , ami the devnstatlng march of the
giants from Uutte. While the outkok nl
over the country glows In warmest colors
for another season of great sport , here It
Omaha , lackaday , we nre not peering for-
wnrd through very rosy glasses. The West
ern Intercollegiate assoclatlotrknocklng out
our Thanksgiving championship game has
left us a little groggy. Lincoln will feast
upon the plum next November.
Tennis had a great Innings everywhere
the gentle art right here having nn unusu
ally largo following nnd furnishing some
exceptionally line sport. The state asso
ciation was much In evidence , and Its
annual tournament was the success of Its
history. The prospects for 1897 , locally , art
very bright , as several new clubs will be
admitted to the association and some splen
did new courts established In this city.
In Flstlana , despite Its circumscribed
rights nnd prerogatives , Interest has been
more marked than In times when It wns but
little hampered by mock humanitarians and
the law. Of course the winning of the
heavyweight championship by Hob Fltzslm-
mons , a middleweight , down In Mexico last
February , stands out conspicuously as the
premier event ot the year. Peter Maher ,
who was presented with the title by Jim
Corbett after he had put Steve O'Donnell to
sleep with a single swat at ono of the Now
York clubs , was the victim. Fitz's recent
experience on the coast with the big man-
of-warBtnan , Sharkey , whom he knocked out
In the. eighth round , but still lost the bat
tle through the decision of a rascally referee ,
was probably on ! a par with the knockout ol
Mahcr , so far as Interest went. Following
these In close connection conicc ChoynskPs
defeat by Maher , Kid Lavlgne's remarkable
victory over Dick Hurge , the English crack ,
Corbett's miserable fiasco with Sharkey ,
Pllmmer's downfall before Pedlar Palmer
and the so-called defeat of George Dlxon by
Erne , the young Uuffalonlan.
Since Bob Fltzslmmons' visit hero a week
ago I am hardly up to the task of defining
with much precision Just where I am at.
The fact that my lanky old friend got full
of booze and otherwise deported himself In
an unsatisfactory manner gives a some
what suspicious tinge to the so-called com
ing big fight with Jim Corbett. I am not so
cock sure as I might be that everybodj
connected with the affair Is on the level.
However , I do not wish to paso as a cap
tious censor , and before Indulging In further
criticism I will wait and note the outcome
of Fltz's visit to New York. I want 11
understood , though , by the followers ol
the game , that I am prepared for any de
velopment and that the Inauguration of
another long and disgusting argumentative
war by the two great pugilists through
newspapers will surprise none. I hope the
two men are In earnest , and that next
March they will get together and once for
all settle the question as to who Is the best
man.
It would certainly bo dereliction on my
part If I failed to assert that Fltzslmmons
conduct while here was Inexplicable. I have
seen him fight four times , and have been
about him more or less on all of these oc
casions , but never before did I see him
under the Influence of that subtle distilla
tion of malzo called budge , or even set
him take a drink , except once , nnd that
wns a pony of brandy nt his training
quarters down In Jaurez the day his las !
fight with Mahcr was postponed for n week.
Hut It was not Fltz's drinking that botherei
me most while he was here , but bis exhibi
tion of bag punching and sparring , which
while fair , was way below the standard
of anything I had previously witnessed at
his hands. His fumbling at the bag am
his lack of speed In his bout with Hlckej
was a revelation. I have always seen him
work so fast and so brilliantly that I must
confess that I was startled. Still , this ma >
have been , and probably was , owing to the
"load" he was carting around , and from no
physical retrogression superinduced bj
natural causes. If Corbett and Hob do come
together , who do I think will win , did you
say ? Well , If you did , you must excuse
me , I'vo no think coming just now.
Hut as to the slto of the big mill , I think
I can come as near to It as any man In the
country. Last week I gave my reasons for
believing that the musty old city of Paso del
Norto , across the Rio Grande from El Paso ,
would draw the prize , and I believe so yet ,
hut If I am mistaken In this locality , Cartxin
City , Nov. , will prove the lucky station.
Martin Julian , Fitzslmmons' manager , Inti
mated to me while here that Dan Stuart and
the Nevada Incoming legislature were upon
exceedingly amicable terms , and that the
legalizing of glove contests ot Ita coming
session need startle no one. If such a bill
as this Is made a law , then the burg out In
the Slcrraa will Indubitably gobble the fistic
persimmon. Hut as I will have some In-
Rliln Infnrmn Inn within , . .
t ltn.m.tuA nt n
couple of we"ks I will dismiss the subject
temporarily. i
Ned Reading , the military blcyclo racer ,
and the hero of the old Coliseum , and his
trainer , the genial and generous Jack
Klnnaman , returned from New York New
Year's evening with pockets bulging with
coin and In the best of spirits and health.
Reading , It will be r era lied , won third place
In the recent big International wheel chase
at Madison Squato garden , and his recital of
the Incidents of the great rare la Interesting
Indeed. You've all read of the
experiences of u man up In a balloon ,
at the bottom of the ocean , and In
other novel , trying and extreme situation ! ) ,
but probably never heard how ho feels at the
fag end of a six-day , twenty-four hours a
duy , blcyclo race , For three day a Ned said
he felt as chipper as the first cock robin of
spring nnd to spin around the dizzy cllpie
was JiiMt llku eating BO much hortberry
jtrawcake. but after that the band played a
different tune. At timed a tlnimleroiia roar
tilled hU brain llku that coming In from the
sea at midnight during eomo fearful ele
mentary strife , nnd the crowd of spectators
would IIrot oiHumo llm forms of Ilrob-
dlgnaglan glantH , then the nhnpe of pigmies.
Some Union they had Icga and arma as long
ns telephone poles , and Itpada on their
shoulders no bigger than walnuts , nt othcro
the cranial top-pieces swelled up like gas
tanks , while- limbs nnd legs shrunk to
wooden toothpicks. Now the vent auditorium
would blaze with blinding refulgence , then
be plunged Into a darkness ns black as the
bottomless pit. At times he would soar
through space with the gcntlo motion of a
thistledown , ngnln ho would be crawling on
hands nnd knees through vnts ot tar and
mud , and over Jagged rocks and cruel thorns.
Again ho would experience all the dcllghla
of the lotua-eater'H dream nnd then ngnln I ,
the torments of a man being burned
at the stake. Just before thp' i
wind-up Ned asserted that he Imagined that ,
ho was a big brnss ball fastened to Mio end
of a lone stEcl spindle , and that ho wsn
being revolved through space at about the
rate of the big fly wheel In the street ra'll-
wny power house. Ho couldn't sef. hear ,
feel , taste or think ; thin followed the ecsta-
clcs of euthanasia , then nn absolute blank.
Hut suddenly aomo wondrous power brought
n restoration of his senses , his visual organs
grow bright , his hearing acute nnd his brnln
nltvo to the- exciting scenes of th ? situation ,
nnd he found himself pedaling away for
the goal at nbout n fitteen-mllc-an-hour clip.
The gallant old racer has now fully recov
ered from nil effects of thn great trial , nnd
his manag.r , the genial Jack heretofore
mentioned , Is fitting him for the big race
In Chicago next February , which he thinks
he Is fiitro to win. A bad cold contracted
during the third night's going at Madlscn
Square garden la nil that beat him out ot tbla
honor nt that race.
Domlnlck McCaflrey , once a prominent
candidate for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world , Is In Omaha. He U
spending the winter with his brother , who U
a largo ranch owner up somewhere In Holt
county , but came down here to renew the
acquaintanceships of years agone. While Uom
Is still a splendid specimen of the American
athlete he Is not the paragon of muscular
development nnd activity I knew eleven
years ngo. Tlmo has left Its Imprint on
him na It has on all the rcs > t of us. I will
never forget the 29th of August , 1S85 , for It
was on that day , at Chester park , Cincin
nati , I saw McCaffrey stand off the mighty
John L. for seven rounds. It was a memora
ble event , nnd while McCaffrey was beaten
out of the decision , he gained more laurels
by the fact that for the stipulated time ho had
defled the -terrlflc onslaught ? of John L.
than ho had by all his other performances
combined. Sullivan was to knock Dora out
In six rounds or lose the tight. Hut ho
didn't do It nythor ( I haven't got a cent )
did ho lose the fight. McCaffrey not only
stayed the fix rounds , but one extra , which
was occasioned by an error of the referee ,
ono Hilly Tate , a Toledo fireman and sport.
At the end of the sixth round there was a
riot , McCaffrey clamored for n continuance
of the contest , and Sullivan was blasphemous
nnd ugly. Revolvers were drawn and fcr a
time the atmosphere of the old race grounds
was decidedly sulphurous. Tate was fright
ened half out of his boots , and refused to
give a decision , but two days later , when safe
at homo upon the murmuring Mauince , ho
proclaimed to the world , by telegraph , that
Sullivan was the winner. McCaffrey will bo
In town for several days and has promised to
glvo mo his opinion for next Sunday's Hce
of the fighters ot the day.

I AMUSEMENTS. I
Whatever the pasfwaek may have brought
forth In other sphfcrw of activity , It has
been a quiet and ifotover profitable time
at the Omaha theater * : At lloytl's , one of
the strongest melodramas ever brought here ,
played by a generally able and well-balanced
company , ' has ahoweiV to Inexplicably bad
business nil the week. True , It waa a tank
drnma. but theater-goers hereabouts have
not In tlmo past shown themselves ao very
unfriendly to stnge tanks. Thcro nro some
theatrical tunkii , on the contrary , for whom
they have shown n marked predilection. One
of these has just hcoa exhibiting at the
CrelRhton. and need not be more particularly
designated. These who have seen her say
that she Is nt present not so much of a tnnk
ns formerly , nnd that her reduced proportions
tions and ameliorated vocal powers Indi
cate n ICEJ heroic capacity for cocktails ,
dramatic nnd otherwise , than was evident In
her aforetime. However this may bo , birj- : |
ncas wns good nt the Crclghton during her
engagement , n fact upon which that house
Is to bo congratulntcd , although ns tmicn
cannot be said for the people who paid their
money.
A "turn" ivot down In any program was ac-
compllshcd unwillingly nnd with many
bluahes by W. J. Ilurgcaa of the Crelghton
theater ut the Now Year's mati
nee at that house. Some friends ,
wishing to offset obligation * past , present
nnd future , purposed to present the popular
manager with a silver scrvlcu as a token of
their esteem , No mere transfer of ownership -
ship , done under a hat , so to speak , would
sultlcc these benefactors , who must have a
public presentation to do Justice to every
thing and everybody concerned. The mcsi
serious problem waa how to Induce Mr. llur-
gcF , whoso natural modesty In tenfold aug
mented while his mouatachc Is still in a nas
cent state , to expose himself to the embar
rassment of a stage performance.
The aid of the company then showing nt
the house wfiij cnllatoS. During the progress
of the piny , word was sent In urgent haste
to the box olllco that the chorus had laid
In a keg of beer from Mr. Dowllng'a bazaar ,
and that perdition In nil Its direst forms
was being raised. The presence of Mr. llur-
gess upon the stage waa urgently demanded
to quell Uie Incipient riot. So ho wns lured
to his doom. Ho unconsciously took the j
center of the stnge and waa listening to
sundry complaints poured ir..to his cars by
conspiring me-mbcrs of the company , when ,
pop ! Up went the curtain , disclosing the
situation to n very large and highly delighted
matinee audience. Ills awful predicament be
came momentarily more apparent to the
bashful manager , who made a precipitate
rush for the right upper entrance. He wcu
Intercepted by n stalwart comedian before
he had entirely disappeared from view , nnd
a spirited tussle ensued , nmld fervent uc-
clnmntlons from the front of the ho one.
The comedian worked his man skillfully down
center again , and having got him well Into
the dare of the footllchts and still holdlnc
him fast to guard against another bolt , he
made n facetious presentation apeoch nnd
bestowed the silverware upon Its new

to oratorical powers , and upon this occasion
ho says and Indeed' thcro Is evidence In
support of It that his tongue clave to thereof

Edgar L. Davenport , who was last seen
hero as the manly and altogether decent
American In "Thoroughbred" a couple of
months ago , Is no small poet , as well as
a very excellent actor. Ho will go starring
next year , nnd It Is possible that his muse
may carry him on yet loftier ( lights. Mean

The unprecedented KUCCCSI of the first pres
entation and the numberless requests that
havtf been mndo to have a repetition of "The
Christmas Mystery I'lay" at St. Phllomena's ,
have Induced these concerned to repeat It
on Twelfth night , AVedncadny , January 10.
Twelfth nightror an It Is commonlv called ,
"Little Christmas. " has been from time Im
memorial devoted In the old countries to
dramatic amusements. Hence , there nru
many dramas produced for the first time on
tha ! night , the beat known of which Is
Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night. "
That this repetition of the mystery play
will bo an unqualified success Is a fore
gone conclusion. These who did not witness
It at Christmas , ought not to miss thia last
opportunity. The admission prlco Is un
changed. No tickets have been Issued.
An Interesting experiment Is to be tried In
New York by the Standard , which Is to
publish u dally edition devoted exclusively
to theatrical and sporting matters. la ad
dition to covering local affaire , the paper
will publish letters , by telegraph and mall ,
from special representatives In all the cities
of America. The corps of correspondents Is
no xv being organized by I. candor Richardson ,
formerly editor of the Dramatic News , and
now with the Standard.
Starting with a matlneo today and con
tinuing for a week , Hoyd's theater will have
an unusual offering not only In Lumlcrc's
Clneniatographo , which has for the past
week created quite a talk , but In present
ing the only twin stars In the world since
the days of the Webb brothers In English
provinces , the Messrs. W'lllard nnd Wil
liam Newell , who will appear In twin plays ,
such as "Tho Corslcan nrothers , " "Tho
Lyons Mall , " "Tho Operator , " etc.
GeorgeMandcrback , manager of the com
pany , has surrounded the Messrs. Newell
with what Is said to bo a competent com
pany and promises to produce the plays
during the week's stay In this city In n
manner which will demand recognition by
theater-goers. The beautiful romantic
drama , "Tho Corslcan 'Drainers ' , " Is the
bill announced for both performances today
and also for Monday : and Tuesday nights.
The Kansas City Journal says of the per
formance December 25 : "In every respect
as fine a performance as Mr. Mantcll's
Corslcan , and In iscftno better on account
of the close resemblance of the brothers ,
who are as like as to peas. " On Wednes
day nidtinco and night the French drama.
"Tho Clemenccau Case , " will bo given and
on Thursday and Friday the celebrated ro
mantic twin play , ' 'The Lyons Mall. " to be
followed Saturday matlneo nnd night by
the comedy drama ) I'Tho Operator , " n pro
duction said to befilirof realistic scenic and
mechanical effects'- ' and bubbling over with
catchy comedy and specialties.
AS on extra feature , rcpi Mahler Man
dcrback has been cnfeaged by the manage
ment and will appcaV at each performance
In a selection of popular ulra and yodel songs ,
Thcro are great tilings yet In view-
things to talk about i In wonderment , to
think of with unalloyed Joy , and the Lu-
mlero clnematographo is ono of the best ,
ca It Is the newest of these. oeiMatlono ,
This marvelous Invention , n fin dc alccle
triumph of scientific photography combined
with electrical skill , which will be exhibited
at every performance , has enraptured the
audiences wherever It has been icon. The
creatures In the scenes are llfo slzo and
every action la accurately shown , making
an almost perfect moving picture. The fol
lowing views , among others , have been De
lected for exhibition during the week :
"Ilueslan Kmperor and Hmpreas and Presi
dent of Franco."Spanish Guard MountIng -
Ing at Madrid , " "French Cuirassiers' Sham
Uattle , " "March of the Ninety-sixth French
Infantry. " "Spanish Artillery Evolutions , "
"Festivities nt Duda Pcsth , " "Gardner and
the Had Hoy. " "Ostriches , " "Itimlan
Dance" "Daby's Ilcpaat" nnd "Sword Hx-
ercbe. " It will be seen that the sterlra of
military views announced , showing phases
ami features of military life In oomo of
the armies of Europe , will give onu an ex
cellcnt Idea ot their makeup. With thin
double attraction a successful engagement
Is anticipated.
That "tho play's the thing" Is clearly
proven by the success that Is attending Mark
Twain's "t'udd'nhead Wilson , " which Is now
In Its second season , and which will 1m the j
attraction at the Orelghton for four nights ,
commencing Thursday. January 7 , and con-1 j I
eluding with two performances on Sunday. \ i
The man who created the stage veialon of thto j I
delightful Missouri atory has paroed away , but ,
: his convincing piny still lives nnd moves Its
| audiences to nlternato laughter nnd tears.
It linn been proven that this truest nud best
, of American plays depends upon no one ntnn
, for Its Interest nnd success. Frank Mnyo's j i
j crcntlon In this piny wns greater than his
own great personality.
It Is hard to describe "Pudd'nhoad Wll-
| son. " It Is like no other play. It la a
I simple , sweet story , told by men nnd women
I who do not seem to be acting at all , but !
I who reach right out nnd lay hold on the '
hearts of their audience , holding their love
and attention until the final fall of the
curtain , nnd you enrry from the theater
grateful remembrances of them that en
shrine cr.ch nnd every ono ot them In your
hearts as old friends. During the nctlon of
the piny you nre tnlten bodily to the banks
ot the Mississippi river ; you nre lulled by
the mighty How of the "Father of Waters , "
nnd you become part of the sleepy , enny-
going , yet delightful , life HB ilwl in n > "
Mississippi river village In ante-bellum days.
You seem to hear the buzz of the bees , iind
the butterfly lilts lazily through the eoft
southern nlr. You enter Into the spirit of
the story , and Industriously help those upon
the stagu In unraveling the mysteries which
ate only mysteries to them. Far you know
nil nbout It when the prologue Is over. You
have laughed , nnd you have cried , and you
leave the theater with that kindly , satisfied
feeling that makes the' whole world kin.
You go.hoine glad that you live In the same
dear , delightful world In which such folks
live as they who have told you the story ot
" ' ' "
"I'udd'nhcad Wilson.
The company Is almost Identical with
that of last year. Theodore Hamilton , n
sterling old actor , plays the title role , nnd
Kmlly Hlgl , ono of the best emotional act
resses In America , Is the new Hoxy. Other
wise the cast Is unchanged.
That charming play , "Alabama , " by Au
gustus Thomas , will bo the attraction nt the
Doyd theater for sU r.'lghts nnd three innt-
Inoes , commencing January 10.
After all , the old. old story , that all of
us have heard nnd that nil of us tcfl some
tlmo In our life. Is the beat. War , strife ,
misery , crimes nil engage our attention ,
warms our. blood , but love honest , noble ,
eloquent love moves the very soul ns noth
ing else can. And that Is the theme of "Ala
bama. " The author of this sweet story has
contributed lo the stngo a fragrant flower ,
which will not bo permitted to wither. He
has set before his countrymen n vision of nil
that Is ennobling , refining nnd chastening
In human nature. Thi > vision Is so natural
that It becomes n reality. It Is so vivid that
li remains with us Icng after wo have left
the playhouse. It Is so poetic and so purlty-
'Ing that we nro better for having seen It.
When nn artist can create something that
calls to llfo the noblest nnd most unselfish
Impulses of mankind ho has benefited man
kind. Augustus Thomas has done this In
"Alabama. "
The excellence of the Clement IJalnbrldgc
company Is too well established to need com
ment. It Includes Mr. fialnbrldge , for whom
Augustus Thomas wrote the part of Captain
Davenport ; Fred Mower , Harry M. Allen , L.
P. Hleka , W. M. Waitaworth , Kobert Conncss ,
F. W. Kcnsll , FroncU Nelson , and the Misses
Ethel Irving , Helen Weathersby , Florence
Crosby and Kato Doollng.
The attraction nt the Crelghton theater
next Tuesday , January C , will possess more
than ordinary Interest to theater-goers.
Omaha talent will be In the ascendant , nnd
some of It already bears the foreign stamp
so necessary to success.
"Tho Players , " the recently formed ilra-
muUc company composed of the members of
the Crclghton theater dramatic school , will
present "Mile. Lotl" nnd "The Hells. " The
Ilrst named ! s n one-act comedy from the
French , dramatized by Guy U. Short. This
has been arranged especially for Miss Nina
Marshall , who plays the title role.
Ono of the surprises nnd successes of last
season was Frank Lea Short's presentation
of "Tho Hells. " nnd ho has consented to pro
duce It again. Mr. Short will appear ES Mat
thias the Burgomaster , nnd the remainder
of the cast has been revised and Improved

rate musical program at the Crclghton to
morrow night , is at present on IU first
western tour , and It Is said has succeeded
In thoroughly winning the appreciation and

vantages to bo de-rived from It. Since a for
mer visit to this city , Prof. Reynolds has. It

searches In this comparatively unknown
field , having received a degree conferred by
one of the great English universities.

William Peterson , one of the American Dli-

Howard street. } last night when ho got
tangled up between two motors coming from
opposite directions. The motor In charge
of Motorman Graddy muck the boy and
knocked him to the pavement. The car.
however , was stoppt-d before It 'had pasted
over his body , and toveral people who worn
witnesses to the accident picked him up and
turned In a call for the patrol wagon. Upon
being taken to the station It waa found
that beyond a couple of cut.i on the scalp
and a gash on the bridge of the 11030 Peter-

MUSIC.
As the time approaches for the formulation
of phiid for the actual operation of the
TransmlrolralppI Exposition It seems wise
to once more take up the subject of music
tor that grj.tt event and glvo It some careful
consideration. As hna been said before , that
will bo Omaha's opportunity to Imprest * It
upon the people of surrounding cities and
towns that here Is their center , hero the
plnco to send their children for n musical
education , hero the natural focus ot all the
musical Interest nnd energy of COO nillw
tMiiaro , here one ot the stopping places bt > -
twccn New York nnd San Frnnclseo for the
greatest artists nnd the greatest musical
organizations , here Indeed their metropolis ,
their center city.
In buslnrra men place upon the market
thcae things which they do not need for
their own maintenance , nnd which they wish ,
directly or Indirectly , to exchange for throw
which they do need. They wish to oell that
which they have that they nwy but that
which they havo. not. In most llnea of btii'l- '
ncjs when n man sells n certain thing he la
obliged to part with It. If ln > wishes to keep
on In hU business he muat replace It ; lie must
buy more , nnd must part with something of
vnluo to pay for It. Otherwise he sells out
hU stock and having nothing more to soil
must retire from business. N'ot so with
the teacher. Ills stock In trade Is what ho
knows , and It mains no difference how many
times IIP may sell out. he still retains It nil ,
nnd. If he Is a man of ordinary observation.
every time ho makes a sale he Increased h'
stock. There Is nothing but Information
that one can put on the market , sell It , get
paid for It , and still have It all loft to sell
over agiln. It Is easily seen , therefore ,
that of all lines of business that may help
to build up a city there Is no other that
affords so large n profit ns the trnlllc In In
formation. nnd It Is equally easily seen that
It Is greatly to the advantage of n city to
encourage such n business nnd to foster It.
One thousand music pupils paying on an
average of from $7 to ? :5 a week for lessons
and llvlm ; expenses would alTcrd n source
of revenue to Omaha which would do much
to OUpel the gloom that has been en
shrouding all kinds of business In
terests for the last few years. It
should Jic ono of the mlrslon.i of
the TransmlsslsslppI Exposition to make
such an Ir.-.prcisslon upon the thnimmU of
strangers who will visit It that they will
n"iid their sons and daughters here to study
music.
If the exposition Is to be a scrt of spasm
to be followed by lethargy Its advantage to
the city remains nnJcmonstrated. Hut If It
can bo so managed as to place this city In
fie closest relationship with Its neighbors
It will bo worth all It costs. Music U n
good thing to sell. Many wish to possess It ,
ami n few of the many go to New York and
oven to Europe that they may obtain u qual
ity to their satisfaction. Some of these pens
through Omaha. It were better for Omaha
If It were well for them to stop here. Omaha
must build up Its musical resources and he-
como able to put upon the market all the
advantages for a complete musical educa
tion , nml simultaneously emphasize the fact
mat this lias been done , and that Irere U
the place to stay , to hear and to enjoy the
best that the act nITords. Much Is to be
done before the exposition opens , and much
very much may bo done by It If Us musical
department Is properly managed.
* * *
Th& development of Omaha's own musical
resources Is of the utmost Importance to the
elllcacy of the musical department of the
exposition. Till ? can bo done only by the
people of Omaha , and to tlo it they will
need to support worthy local musical enter
prises. Lsst Sunday afternoon Mr. Tnbcr
gnvo an organ rceltnl at the First Congre
gational church. There were about COD
men and women In the audience , nnd their
close attention to his. playing betokened
their interest nnd satisfaction. A collec
tion wns taken to defray the expense to
the church of heat , light , etc. , and to re
munerate Mr. Tabcr for hU work. Thir
teen dollars and eighty-eight cents was the
amount received. In
the bgsket there were
one half-dollar , six quarters nnd thirteen
pennies. The remainder was In dimes nnd
nickels. If there were f.03 . people In the
audience the average contribution was les.i
than 3 cents for each person. The program
performed should have sold tickets at B9
cents even In these hard times , and there
was just ono person who really paid for
what ho received. Six paid half price , and
the rest got In on a pass of their own make ,
or gave as they would give to a beggar.
Mr. Taber said he should give no more
recitals , and who can wonder nt It ? The
development ofthe musical resources of
this city cannot bo forwarded by 3-cer.t
contributions. If the appreciation of mrale
Is to be Judged by that standard It Is not
worth while. On that basis the exposition
of Omaha's musical lasts would hardly help
to make this city a musical center.
* * *
Speaking of the Central Music hall pro
gram , which wan given February 11. by
the Glc < > and Mandolin club of the University
of Chicago , the Tlmen-Hcrald says : "The
program was opened by Laconic's Estndl-
pntlna , 'Wo Are the Gay , Happy Students. '
The Glee club then rendered Dr. Jcnks'
'Vegetable Compound , ' which elicited hearty
encores. R. I ) , Davidson -ans Eugene Field's
'Little Hey Hlue , ' and followed with a can-
plbal song , the chorus of which was rendered
fiom the wings , and took the home by storm.
The Mandolin club . then gave Tomneo's
'T"Vnnnru CTnvr.Hn Thn rnlllnlrlm. frtrtfhnl !
song was given , and ended In a
latlo scrap. The audience was not satisfied
until Davidson came to the front ami told
how happy he had been since ho Joined
Sunday school. "
The University of Chicago Glee and Man
dolin club will appear at the Crclghton
theater tomorrow ( Monday ) evening.
* *
A number of friends and admirers of Clar-
cnco Eddy , the organist , have arranged for
an organ recital by that artist nt the First
Congregational church on Monday evening ,
January 11.
The Woman's club has shown Itscli ap
preciative of Mr. Taber'j worth and hca ar
ranged with him to glvo a concert tomorrow
afternoon at the First Congregational
church. The Woman's club's appreciation
Is very often the kind which enjoys to the
utnicBt a performance that costs It nothing ,
and that fact Is the greatest weakness of its
musical department. An Institution com
prising COO of the most intelligent women
of this city could be n power for the healthy
development of musical enterprises , and for
the encouragement of homo musicians by
making their music productive. Free con
certs do very little good to anybody. People
appreciate things according to their ccat
rather than according to their worth. The
