A sort of lethargy lias seemed to pcr-
tndo widely Hlnce the last weekly common-
tnry fhcwo pcrloillcal ebbs and flown of
Cm rgy. llltc similar phenomena In other
departments of the visible unheiae , have
their own mibtlv laws , which aic often too
complex to admit of satisfactory str.ilgliton-
Ing out. c\cn If the Investigator cared to
pursue them through Intricate windings to
their Inacccsalhlu source DoiibtkiW the un
reasonable vuathcr , which contltiitLi to
turn tin1 winter months Into another au
tumn and to bring the California rainy sen-
non to our very doors , has much to do
with It , but other causes must be sought
for the unexpectedly light attendance at
the Monday Night club pirty last \veek
Aside' from this entertainment , which was
quite as micccssful as any of Its forerun-
nnrfl except In point of numbers present
there were no largo e\cnlng society doings.
Afternoon tcaa anil receptions of necessity
lack In great measure the charm of men's
( society , and although an assemblage com
posed exclusively of women can compete
with any other In point of Joyous and all
pervading din and confusion absolutely be
wildering to masculine care. It la not con-
nlilered to fill the requirements of the av-
einKo seeker after pleasure with anything
like the completeness afforded by a gatherIng -
Ing In which both aexes paitlclpatc. Several
of these ild ) time functions have given pleas
ure during the week to limited circles of
women guests , while the men as a rule
have been free to follow their own devices ,
so far us the demands of society wcro con
cerned
.Speaking of men In noclcty , as locally con
Hldrcd , a notable feature of most of the
recent dancing parties has been the pro-
pjiilcrance of them Male wall Honors arc
mid to be among the mo.it mlseiablc beluga
on earth , and tlioy .xrc In no sense oina-
inental or teething to the eye At the
last Monday Night party , for example , the
men far outnumbered the women , and ca a
natural consequence ) every woman's card
was filled with a celerity moat gratify Inj ; to
her ninour piopro while a dozen or more
of men were- crowded out of proper partici
pation In ovciy dance It Is snld that on
thla and several other occasions of Into a
good man > young women 1m o been kept
at home foi lack of escort No ono has
Invited them , and their pnpis have been
otherwise too deeply engaged to spare the
time and strength Among the number of
those so slighted were doubtless many who
would have gladly foregone a carriage and
traveled quite contentedly In a street car
Hnt a man must know a woman pretty well
before he will &oU her to take her ball gowi
Into a motor on n sloppy night , and It Is
probsble that most of tin' men who went
nlono In tint economical con.eyinco would
cheerfully ha\c paid an extra faro If It had
been merely a question of expense

llrlef lint Important
A considerable part of Omaha society I
today n great deal more Interested In "tho
queen's naveo" of a couple of hundred years
ago than It Is In the pink teas , cotillions or
other swagger functions of the present day-
It Is all because that staunch ciaft , "H. M. S
Pinafore" Is expected to sail Into port on
Saturday , and the admiral's display for the
benefit of "his sisters and his cousins and his
aunts" U likely to bo lemembercd as ono
of the red letter occasions of the preseu
season.
The coming event will not bo the flist appearance
pearanco of "H. M. S. Pinafore" In Omaha
nor , judging from the unusual Interest maul
tested , will It bo the last. The same war
ship , with Its full complement of local celeb
rities as officers , jolly tars nnd pleasing
women , has entered Iho harbor hereabouts
on at least three previous occasions. L'ach
visit was declared to bo a notable event for
the days In which It occurred , and was then
the cause of as much commotion , as many
rehearsals and of ns general hard work
among the society folk as Is the forthcoming
production of the nautical opera
"Plmforo'1 was first put on the stage In
London In 1878 , nnd It wns not long before
Its popularity wafted It across the Atlantic
to the shoies of the United States Omaha's
chief and only play house nt that time was
the Academy of Music , nnd the piece made
Its appearance there ns the professional comic
opera singers spread out ovel the country
Among the first companies that gave "Pina
fore" In this city was n juvenile nggrcgn-
tlon , or rnthcr n company In which all the
principal parts were taken by children under
1C years of nge , while the choruses were
made up as usual from the ordinary ranks
Another "Pinafore" compiny that stood high
cs nn early favorite was the Chicago Chuich
Choir compiny , whose visits to Omaha were
so profitable that they were seveinl times
repeated.
It was on Monday evening , April 2S , 1879
that the vessel In question sailed Into the
port of Omaha for the first time ns an ama
teur It was after n lengthy series of re
hearsals and drills , nnd the entrance wns
as nusplclous ns the master of any shli
could doolro Among the names of these
who took the leading roles on that occasion
will be noticed many still prominent in
Omahn society affairs , n few 1mo removed to
other cities nnd nearly nil the misses of that
caste * write their nam 3 otherwise today
'Me' ' ' ' Deadoe and Buttercup are now hus
band and wife
ITS FIRST CRnW.
The stage manager was Major Stevenson ,
the musical director , Prof BlanKenfeld An
orchestra of twenty pieces asylste-d In the
production. The old Acidemy of Music on
Oouglns .sti eel , now given over to operas
of a gnycr style , was the scene of the per
formance' The principal paits were taken
as follows- Sir Joseph Porter , W. O San-
lors , Captain Corcoran , W. B. Wllklns , Joi > o-
phino , Miss Jesslo Robinson of Chicago ; But
tercup , MLss Clara Campbell , Hebe , Mrs
Geoigo U Harris , Ralph Rackstraw , Frank-
lln S. Smith. Dick Dcadeye , Henry D Ksln-
brook , Bill llobstny. A Powell. Bob Beckct ,

Misses Kennedy , Wells , Hustls. Lake , Jevvett ,
Grecnhow , Hall , Rath , McCormlck and
LJoetBtfltlils , sailors , Mc-ssrs Hubbard , Shields ,
Potter , Robinson , Savage , Crary , Morris ,
Sixe , DeGroit. Snow , Drake nnd Hustla
In commenting on the production of the
opera The Res of the following day said
"The oftect of scenery and hinging of the
first act was surprisingly favorable The
ship's rigging and ovciy thing about the In
ner pait of a vessel looked ao exceedingly
natural that many questioned themselves
whether they were actually on the rickety
Omaha stage It was a credit to the organ
izers , Mr. and Mrs DIrkey nnd associates ,
and particularly to Major Stevenson , who
supervised itn anangemcnt nnd geneial man-
"As n whole the 'Pinafore' opera , ns ren-
iered by our Omaha amate-uis , Is among th"
moat creditable performances on the Omaln
b'ngo and Is pronounced far superior to the
amateur renditions of the same opera In
arger cl'lns "
'Iho performance was so succciBful that It
> vas icpcatcd the following afternoon and
evening
The example of the Juvenile Pinafore
company above icfcrrcd to BOOH Inspired
Omaha people with n desire to exhibit Iheli
own child wondcn * , and an nmateur po > -
formanco by children was arranged soon
after Boyd's opera house was opened , which
excited no little public admiration. The
ocal musicians of today seem to remember
very little about It , except that the hit of
ho evening was made by Jennie McC'el-
and. nowMra Powell , In the role of Llt
tlo Buttercup Iho opera was given fet
charitable purpcaes and a neat sum was
ealized from the proceeds
LAST TIMG BY AMATHURS.
The list amateur nerfoimance of "Plna-
oro" was given at Courtland Beach during
he first week In September , 1SS7. The Initial
> orformanco wes given on Monday evening
"eptcmbcr G , and It was repeated upon the
other evenings of the week Theto perform

Woman's Relief corp-s of the Giand Army

hat time again Included W O Sanders as
; ir Joseph Porter , Mrs Kdlth ndwanU
Yanko as Josephine Mr. Gilbert of Chicago
as Captain Corcoran , Miss Law ton of Chicago
cage as He-bo and Miss Wultze of Chicago
as Buttercup
The special feature of this prczcntatlrn
vas the fact that It was nn out-of-doors ren-
litlon , the stage being a hastily constructed
scow floating on the water and separated
rom the laud lubber audience by quite ni1
expanse of cea AVhcn Sir Joseph Porter ,
C C B , and Hebe and all the sisters and
cousins ami aunts arrived they were rov.cd
across to "H. M S Pinafore" by a set of
stalwart oarsmen and the effect of the songs
ns they skimmed along the water was realls-
Ic in the -extreme.
"Pinafore" hau since been given any num
ber of tlmca In Omaha by professionals
; oed , bad and Indifferent , at the different

cl tills week manned by local seamen , how
ever , while It must suggest compailson with

xcellenco of the cast.
