I AMUSEMENTS. f
Ono In Rorr.cwhnt at a loss to account for
tlm present crusndo against the big theater
1ml which has broken out of Into with re-
nowcd ntv1 qu'to ' unprecedented violence all
over Ui3 country and found expression In
dratitlo legislation by variant ) law-making
liodlcs. Hero In Omaha -women - pretty gen
erally rcrcovo their hnta at the play ; the
well bred ortw almost universally do , nnd
very many of the others will comply with
V a courteous request. So that this particular
rest , nt present at least , la less conspicu
ously active than several others which find
tholr mont frequent expression at the
theater. The late-comer wo have al-
wayg with us , with unabated capacity for
disturbing whole rows of people In Ret
ting to the distant neat ; and the headlong
Idiot who starts to Icavo before the per
formance Is over. These two nuisances call
for the utmost severity which human In
genuity can devise , and HO do these omnis
cient beings who not only know what Is
going to happen next , but Insist upon telling
their companion. They deserve anything
which mny befall them crucifixion , or
"something with boiling oil In It. " And
only a llttlo less obnoxious are the men , and
women too , who go out between acts , and
the desultory chatterer who comes to the
theater and pays largo sums for scats simply
to have a chance for uninterrupted conversa
tion ,
A caao of this laat-namcd kind happened
nt ono of the local houses not no very long
ago , which wag made especially
noteworthy because the heedless par
ticipants In the disturbance were repri
manded by the star from the ntago during
tbo performance , a thing which seldom
happens , not because a reprimand Is not
often deserved , but for lack of a man of
s/ufflclcnt nerve to administer It. On this
occasion a party of young people occupied
ono of tlio proscenium boxes , which brought
them eo near to the atago that a whisper
from thorn was as plainly audlblo to the
actors as the actors' whisper might be to the
slttero In the box. They were happy and at
caao with the world , and as time passed they
forgot moro and more that their growing
hilarity might annoy others who had como
to lltton to the very pretty play and not ,
like them , to carry on a conversation which
might have been prosecuted to better ad
vantage on the outride. They were startled
therefore , by a sudden awful pause In the
performance , and by a direct address by the
star himself , who said. In effect : "Ladies , I
Bhall have to suspend my entertainment till
you get through yours. "
This put an Immediate stop to the dis
turbance , and the young women gave their
undivided attention for the remainder of the
afternoon to the play , which. If It were not
quite as Imposing as the Interrupted con
versation , nt H-ast did not detain them Inter
h than & o't k , when they probably had tlmo
to finish what they had to say. They were
perhaps eomowhat put out by the severity
of the punishment , and doubtless another and
less conspicuous method of calling their at
tention to their faults would have been
equally effective. Hut on general principles
evert they themselves will ndmlt that they
wcro wrong and the star was right.

Anglomania Is to come tastes ono of the
funniest things ever Introduced In comedy.
Next to him In favor comes William IJovcro ,
whoso portrayal of n Jolly Arizona editor ,
ready for anything from heading a "lynching
boo" to making love , and at homo with a
gun and "red Ink , " Is a novel and quaint
character. Jeanette St. Henry , who playa
the "Queen of Hurlcsquo , " will bo seen
hero for the first tlmo In n Hoyt comedy.
U Is claimed that xho Is entitled to rank with
the stage beauties. It Is ono of Mr. Hoyt's
happy faculties to secure pretty girls In his
companies , nnd It Is nald "A niaclt Sheep"
Is no exception. Since last season Mr.
Hoyt has Improved "A Illack Sheep" by
nddlng three new characters. The music
Is all now , and the specialty features that lift
has Introduced are said to bo of a strictly
novel character. Since last seen here "A
Illack Sheep" has completed nn enormously
successful run In Now York City of ono hun
dred and fifty nights at Hoyt's theater. Scats
will bo placed on sale tomorrow morning ,
The last two performances of "Hendrlck
Hudson , Jr. , " by the Corlnno Rxtravaganza
company , will bo given at Hoyd's today , the
matlneo at 2:30 : and In the evening nt 8:15. :
The pretty little star , surrounded by a fine
company of comedians and a largo chorus of
well favored women , with serviceable voices ,
offers an entertainment that has been found
very pleasing. The demand for seats for
thcso performances has been largo , and no
doubt the popular Corlnno will delight two
largo houses today.
Commencing Tuesday night , January 2f. ,
at Hoyd's Opera house , Marie Wellcslcy's
players will open for a seven-night engage
ment at popular prices. The company Is
horaldctl by sonic glowing press notices ob
tained In .tho larger cities of Iowa and Illl-
nolo , and has been on the road for an un
broken period of ninety-eight weeks , having
played the summer stock theaters for two
years past. Having been assoclatc-d together
for BO long , tlie members of the company
are able to present a large number of plays.
They also carry a number of clever flpeclalty
people.
Miss Wclltsloy , the star of the company ,
made her first appearance on the stage In
Ford's stock company. She afterward ap-
l > cared as BIJIy I'lpor In "Tho Danltcs. " She
has played with Louis Morrison , Mary An
derson. Charles Fechter , Theodore Hamilton ,
Charles Theme nnd other well known
loaders of the profession. She la supported
by an excellent company and has become
a competent actress by sheer hard work
and association with some of the most popu
lar stars In the country. Richard Obee , her
leading man , also received much pralso for
his clever acting and fine stage presence.
During the present reason the Crclghton
management , with characteristic enterprise ,
ha.i offered the patrons of amusements a
selection of the year's greatest succesres.
The receptions accorded these productions
In Omaha has been but lukewarm at best ,
evincing an apparent Indifference as to

ing to tlio lack of p&tronago extended hlgli
priced productions , Messrs. 1'axton & Hur-
goss have decided to present for a limited
engagement of two weeks a strictly low
priced attraction , having secured the Wood
ward Theater company for that period , com-
nu.iKing with a matinee Sunday , January .11 ,
appearing nightly , with the exception ol
Monday , February 1 , when Mrne. Nordlca

of schooling , having played leading parts
with Ilooth , Uarrott , Fanny Uavcnport

The theaters of this city. In view of the
financial dcprteslon that prevails hero , have
been compelled to reduce expenses , and In
view of that fact they have decided to reduce -
duce the personnel of their orcheatraa. I is
consequence of this condition of affairs the
orchrstra In Boyd'fl theater has been reduced
to four men , an-d the Crclghton theater con
templates n reduction to seven men. The
welfare of orchestral music depends very
largely upon the patronage of the thcatera ,
as by It , and by It only , do the best musi
cians earn a sufficient livelihood to make It
worth their wbllo to live In this city. The
musical progress of the elty , In comparison
with other cities , depends very largely upon
the orchestral ensemble which can be ob
tained h rc , and the theaters are the sole
regular employers of orchestral playern. The
loss of th"so musicians would Impoverish
the musical resources of the city and re
duce the chances of Its future development.
In view of the Transmlrsstaslnpl Exposition
and the present Interest In orchestral music
It Is to bo hoped that the theaters nnd tbn
public will do all In their power to keep the
musicians hero and to nfford thorn remunera
tive employment. HOMER MOORE.

I had been dc/wn In the mountainous re
gions of Tennessee for my health and made a
great many pleasant acquaintances among
the strange people of that section. Nothing
of an exciting nature occurred until the
earlier part cf October , when one of the men
of whom I had seen a good deal was s.rro3ted
on the charge of Edllng bottles of moonshine
whisky at a fair , says a Detroit Free Press
writer.
Tlic-ro Kcmcd no chance of clearing him
but a bright young lawyer undertook Ills dc-
fcni'3 ' nnd handled It like a veteran. The
care on Mis rar' cf the go/ctnn o t was ma 'o
A bottlenf whisky that the accused had sold
wan offered In evidence , and a dozen wit
nesses .lucre that they had seen him dU-
pojlivs of like bottles.
The prisoner was not placed upon the
stand nnd no one was called to testify In his
behalf. I grc-w Indignant nt this apparent
bctrnjol of his eaiifo , and ventured to whis
per to the young attorney that ho should at
least make n showing. But ho knew his
busincas. Solemnly addressing the court , he-
; ald :
"Your honor , there has not been ono word
of proof offered , aside from urnubstantl.il
I'tatomentB. that the fb.sk hero In evidence
oontalnr whisky , or that there was whisky
In any of the bottles my client Is said to have
disposed of. "
"The Jury can take It with them and dp-
tcrmlno for themselves , " curtly Interrupted
the Judge.
"That la entirely satisfactory , " your
honor.
Though ecnt In time nml again , the Jury
found It Impossible to agree , nnd waa finally
d'-nmhned.
"What was the matter ? " I ventured to ask
of the foreman after It was all over.
"Wall , stranger , you noticed that pint bottle -
tlo WH took In ? "
"Yov. you were to find iml what It con
tained. "
"So th' Ji'dgp said. Jake Heaver warllt'

Thn atory got out and the case -ftna never
revived.
Nearly 300 yeara ago Alexander Pope
wrote :

ThU anrlrnt couplet has received a great
Illtititratlou In Ilcston In tlip cnic of Thomas
M. C. Dram , tried for the murder of Captain
Charles Nanh of the bark Herbert Fuller.
According to the Boston Hrrald , U 1ms been
stated , nnd probably not without truth , that
the Jurors agreed to convict because Ihoy
were hungry , Whllo certain members of
this famous twelve deny such to be the fact ,
It U nevertheless true that all of the doren
wpro hungry , nnd nil dealrod to get nwny
from their tedious and monotonouj duty.
Olllcer s of the court otato that the failure to
order n dinner 'or the twelve -arguing men
WM nn oversight , and was altogether unin
tentional on tlio part of tlio Interested par
ties ; yrt It Is certain that the rumor which
circulated nnd gained much credence
throughout the Jury room thnt there was
nothing moro to cat until a verdict was nr-
rlvcd at hastened the decision of some of
the doubtful ones. The last of the twelve
to hold out for n disagreement remarked as
ho cnst his last ballot for conviction. "May
God forglvo mo nnd have mercy on my soul
If I havp done wrong. " The verdict came
ns n , surprise to almost everybody , the gen-
cal opinion of those who had read the evi
dence being that the Jury would either ac
quit or disagree. It was one of the maxims
of Lord Stowcll that "a dinner lubricates
business , " and Lord Byron tells us :
All human history attest *
That happiness for man the 'hungry sin

General Felix Agnus , the proprietor of tlin

to deny the story that when ho came to this
country he began his career as a barber.
"I camp to this country , " he says , "under

from which establishment I went direct to

A writer In Pearson's Weekly repeats a
story concerning the narrow escape the world
had from never knowing n Sir Walter Scott.
The legend Is that , when n tiny baby , Scott
was left In charge ) of n maid ; but the girl's
heart was In Edlnburg , whither she wonted
to go to rejoin her lover. She was , however ,
compelled to stay and look after the Infant
at Sandy Knowo , The girl regarded her
charge as an obstacle to be removed and
afterward confessed that sha carried young
Scott up to the Cralgs ( under n strong
temptation of the devil , ns she expressed It ) ,
fully Intending to cut his throat with hur
and bury him under the moss.
Considering the continued Increase of Cecil
Rhodes' prominence , Ollvo Schrelncr's opin

polwm's greatness , not n llttlo of Napoleon's
pettiness , and ho will fall some day , over
whelmed , as was Napoleon , by the corruption
of his own tools. What Napoleon did with
steel Cecil docs with gold. Around him there
lo a court of creatures who only live to min
ister to his will , but who would turn nnd rend
him tomorrow If he were tripped up by
fate. As Napoleon thought Providence was
always on the side cf the heavy battalions , so
Cecil Is convinced there Is no God so omnip

The first reporter of Francewna , according
to the Revue do Paris , Louis XIII. Tht-
National library possesses the manuscripts
of thirty-six articles written by thnt king ;
almost all an < accounts of his military oper
ations. These articles were published In
Iho Gazette do France. The "copy , " how
ever , did not go directly to the printer. Louis
XIII wrote abominable French , and ho had
vague notions of orthography. Ilia articles
were corrcctc-d and often rearranged by a
secretory named Lucas , who copied them ,
. ending to Richelieu the now manuscript.
Richelieu examined It In his turn , and often
Introduced additional corrections. At the
siege of Corbie the kins wrote a few lines
eulogistic of the cardinal , but afterward
crossed them out of his article , Richelieu
wrote them In again , and so they appeared
In the Gazette do France.

MADE TO ORDER.
Of course , there's no money
in it but we want you to get
acquainted with us.
We want you to know the
kind of tailoring we do even
at this low price.
We want to convince you if
possible that the fabrics we
offer at $15 are worth as
much as $25 elsewhere.
How can we do this unless
you give us an opportunity ?
You're more than welcome
to examine the fabrics. The
salesmen will not urge you ta
buy.
