With the cervices yesterday Ilcv. S. H.
WcCormlck closed his pastoral connection
with the First Presbyterian church In this
city h'il will leave to.lay for Cedar Itiiplds ,
la. , to take up the duties of president of
Coo college , a Presbyterian educational In-
ntltmlon. 'Mr. ' McCormlck has been pastor
of the First church about three years and
lias established a lasting tic of friendship
With thi ! members of the congregation. Thn !
WJB shown by the feeling Irresistibly mani
fested by the people who were present at the
services ytsicrday In the course of the
icrvlccs.
Mr. McCormlck preached both In the morn
ing and In the evening , although the former
might bo moro properly termed his fare
well Ecrmon , as at thu close of the discourse
ho kpoke a few words of farewell to the
people with whom ho had been laboring. The
church was filled to Its limit at both serv
ices and the preacher was shown every mark
of esteem and good will. Ills subject In the
nictiilng was "The Kingship of Christ , "
from 'ino text , "Ami hath on his k'-nuunts '
and on his thigh a name written Kltig of
King- and Lord of Lords. " Upon this text
the preacher said :
"Dominion Is a fart In the world of
created things. Hy a law of Its being the
creature Is subject to llu Creator. Over
every Intelligent being some one must rule
as master , and the wisdom of the Inllvlihul
is displayed In the choice he nvikcs of thu
one who shall rule over him. The anguls in
heaven , themselves sinless , s'.lll llml their
mcst perfect Joy in absolute and unques
tioned obedience to Him who l their sov
ereign and Lord.
"li Is ilttlup ; that Ho 'who made all things
should be set forth In Revolutions not only
as uiupliol and priest , but al&o as Lord ami
Master. The kingship of the Messiah was
so cmpl.1 b'izcd In the Jewish mind us to
crowd out all other aspects of His work ; and
do It Is not btrauso thai ut His advent the
people should lull to sco in the humble
'babo born In the manger the star of Imperial
glory , whose rising had been so long and FO
ardently expected. Yet the wortU of scrip-
lure , Intensely pplrltuiil ns they were , might
liavo prci'-ircd ' them for thu coming of one
whose character should differ from all
earthly sovereigns.
DOMINION OVEIl ALL.
"According to prophecy ho was to have
dominion over all things and a part of this
tinlvo.-sal dominion must be the world of
nature , which is to become subject to man's
control as the vicegerent of Jesus Clir.st
But tlio realm of Christ's greatest victories
Is the moral and intellectual world of man.
In a small orbit of their own kings anil
princes and people. ? are playing what setm
to them Important parts on thu stage of his
tory. But In a larger orbit , which Includes
all cmaller ones , Christ is moving with ma
jestic tread , and at His word all Itsser
things fall into order and movu oaward in
obedience to His sovereign will. As He
came forth the word which revealed tin1
Godhead , In order that Into the darkened
corners of man's soul might come the light
of knowledge , so tcday He Is stretching
forth His regal scepter over the enlightened
world and is bringing all into willing and
Joyous subjection.
"H is not arms that conquer men , but
Ideas. It is not force to which men bow In
submission. It is mind. Man's progress In
the world has been chiefly In the region of
the soul. Grceco ruled the world ; not
through her armies and navies , but through
her dominant thought. She sent forth her
ideas and these made their triumphal prog
ress Into the very heart of Rome , even when
Hainan legions were reducing the whole
iworld to subjection to herself.
"It is thought that makes a nation great ,
and the real progress that the world has'
made Is duo to the power an Idea has over
the mind and heart In molding and vivifying
Individual and national life. But we must
limit this thought still more , for the Ideas
that have wrought most strongly In devel
oping the highest civilization have never
been divorced from the moral and the spirit
ual elements which have their source In
'Jesus of Nazareth. Greece with all her
wonderful gcnlua coul'J ' not preserve her
own civilization , oecauso It lacked the moral
purpose which must ever be a savor unto
life. If thought Is king that thought must
tie pure -and holy ; else , like other kings. It
toust be dethroned and dishonored.
UENAISSANCE OF CHRISTIANITY.
"In every ago of the world , and especially
In these modern time's , It Is the Infusion of
< the lofty moral purpose , nnd the exulted
spiritual conceptions of Jesus Christ , that
have been the exaltation of true Christianity ,
and hnvc hastened the enthronement of
'Christianity's ' king. Ills conception of God's
fathethond and of man's brotherhood , Ills
example of service nnd sacrifice , His teaching
as to holiness and character thcso Ideas ,
penetrating Into Urn mind and conscience of
men , have constituted the real renaissance
of Christianity , and give us the assutance
that the time will como when. Ho who rep
resents these Ideas will rule In every nation ,
and over every heart. And , as His kingly
name Is carried Into other and distant na
tions , as the Christ Is preached In church
and chapel , in school and college , so thut
every day new subjects are added to Illn
kingdom ; as every day now candles are
lighted In the dark corners , -and now fires
of love are kindled In hearts that have been
cold and pulbclcss ; as each hour new llvcli
cm born and consecrated to this King In
deathless devetlon , the day of final triumph
and perfected sovereignty grows nearer still.
Every soul that falls under the Inlluencu of
Ills marvelous personality , and Is touched
Into new power by the grandeur of Ills
truth ; every hoait that Is kindled Into a now
life by the Spirit of the Christ ; every char
acter which has been molded Into a more
Tugged strength , and has been chiselled into
a more oxiiulslte beauty , through contact
.with Christ our Lord , hastens the day when
Jesus shall In truth bu crowned as King
of Kings and Lord of Louis.
CHRIST IS KING.

So unexpected was the death of the late
William n. Sterling , attorney general of
the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley
mllroad and BO genuine the grief of the
officials of the Northwestern system thore.it ,
that the question of his successor has not
yet received consideration. This was the
substance of a statement made to The Heo
last evening by a high ofllcial of the North
western system. When the matter Is taken
up It will be carefully considered by the
olllclals of the Northwestern In Chicago and
General Manager Gcorgo F. rtidwoll of the
Hlkhorn of this city. The appointment will
undoubtedly be made on the recommenda
tion of Lloyd W. Howcrs , general counsel
of the Northwestern , who was here yester
day.
day.Tho best posted men In rillway matters
c.-nsldur It most probable that Benjamin T.
White , assistant general attorney of the
lilkhorn will bo promoted to nil the vacancy
cnusjd by Mr. Sterling's death. In this
event the only appointment to bo made
outside of the Elkhorn headquarters will
bo that of assistant general attorney. For
that there ate alteady numerous applicants.
Mr. White has been connected with tin-
legal department of the Elkhorn for about
ten years and during that time has won for
himself a high place In the esteem of the
attorneys and railroaders of Nebraska and
earned a favorable reputation for himself as
a successful lawyer. lie Is a Nebraska ! )
and Is nust familiar with railroad matters
In this state. He joined the legal depa-t-
nient of the Elkhorn railroad at Norfolk ,
Nub. , where he had previously prictlcod
law for himself. Ho looked after the Inter
ests of the company there so thoroughly
that he was made assistant general attorney
about seven years ago and has held thut
position continuously since then. He was
assistant to General Attorney Joseph H.
Ilawley and at the time of his death In
1S)5 ! ) was mentioned as his successor. Ths
Northwestern olllclals , however , had been do
slrons of promoting the brilliant Mr. Ster
ling , and the latter was1 made general at
torney , with Mr. White as his assistant.
In the law department of the other Omarn
lallroads Mr. White's name has been most
favorably mentioned and the wish fre
quently expressed that he bo promoted to
(111 ( the present vacancy.
It Is a fact that already no ICES than n
halt dozen Omaha attorneys have filed ap
plications for the position of general atto--
ney of the Elkhorn railroad. Some of these
are well known and their applications would
occasion some surprise If made public. For
the present they have all been filed. There
Is no prospect that the position will be
filled Inimedhtoly. In the meantime As
sistant General Attorney White will act as
the head of the Elkhorn railroad's law de
partment.

LINCOLN , Oct. 17. ( Special. ) The close
of the fourth week of actual work at the
University of Nebraska shows an Increase In
the enrollment of the Institution of 20 per
cent over last year. This Indicates an enroll
ment of at least 1,800 students for the year.
There Is a notable Increase In the attendance
from the North Plattc country. More uni
versity spirit Is evident than ever before.
There Is general enthusiasm and unity In
all the work of the Institution * .
Two of the chapel addresses and the scs-
dons of the Irrigation congress In the chapel
have revealed the Interest of the Institution.
In agriculture. Prof. Scott of Princeton ,
author of a new text book In geology , Intro
duced Into the university , reported on his
studies In Nebraska this summer , In connec
tion with Prof , Harbour. Mr. Newell and
Mr. Darton of the United States geological
survey , who have been doing field work In
Nebraska and adjacent to It , also reported
at the university on the valuable co-operation
with them of the department of geology here.
They believe that the Industrial Interests of
the state will bo subserved by pushing .is
fa&t as possible a geological survey. The
success this summer of the 'Morrlll geological
expedition , led by Prof. Harbour , further uu-
rlchcs the museum.
The chapel address this week \\1is by Mr.
Milton Whitney , chief of the division of soil
culture of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Mr. Whitney Is fresh from a
trip of observation extending as far west as
California. His studies In Nebraska cause
him to Kay that the agricultural problem In
Nebraska ut present Is simply that of meth
ods of cultivation. Wo can practically with
our soil grow anything we please. The time
for close specialization bus come In the cust ,
but not herThe experiments under way
In soil culture should be extended. The
farmers should be made to sec that nothing
will pay them 'oetter ' than to cultivate their
soil ami keep itlie llinJ clean. The large col
lection in the Museum of Specimens of Ne
braska 'Sell ' from different counties should
be extended. Irrigation Is the second prob
lem to wlvlch Mr. Whitney advises the ex
periment station to give attention.
AGRICULTURAL GRADUATES.
Mr. Whitney culled the attention of the
students in the Department of Agriculture
to the profitable positions that await those
who carry through a thorough course. He
pointed out the difficulty that the Depart
ment of Agriculture had to find men properly
equipped to fill positions giving salaries from
$1.200 to $1SOO. Ho enlarged upon the op
portunities for graduate and research work
lu the departments and governmental col
lections at Washington.
This summer the Association of Agricul
tural Colleges and Experiment Stations up-
pnlnted a committee , of which Chancellor
Maclean is secretary , on graduate study at
Washington , for the students of the colleges
of agriculture ani mechanical arts. Mr.
Whitney approved of the object of this com
mittee , which Is to give the use of the de
partments and collections at Washington to
our graduates.
The illustrated lecture on western home
made windmills , given by Prof. Harbour in
the- chapel , before the Irrigation Congress ,
has appeared in the Farm Implement News.
The professor shows that the wonderfully
fertile soil of the state absorbs 90 per cent
of the precipitation , as over against eastern
tolls , which absorb but one-half of the rain
fall. The eastern portion of the state Is
plainly humid , the central portion sub-humid ,
and the western counties arid. For the Irri
gation of the portions of the state requiring
It , in addition to the actual surface water
available , 'Is the Inexhaustible ground water
of the state. The problem Is to bring It to
the surface In the cheapest way. The pro
fessor's study shows that the windmill must
here be the prime factor , and that by this
means men are irrigating from one aero to
fifty-acre tracts. He limits his study to
"the poor man's mill. " Necessity forced a
commonwealth Into windmill Invention. The
windmills arc of every possible and Impos
sible dcilgii. They may , however , be readily
resolved into there classes : The open faced
or turbine mill , the go-devil or jumbo mill ,
and the merry-go-round mill. Mills of this
class have been built by farmers at from
$2 to $11 , not counting labor. The superiority
of the open faced or turbine mills over other
designs Is advocated , though this class of
mill is lot in most general favor. The ac
knowledged favorite Is the jumbo , go-devil
or paidlc-whcel mill , presumably because of
its ease of comprehension and simplicity of
construction. The average cost of such a
mill Is below ? G. not counting labor. This
mill Is of low efficiency , but It Is the ono
which gives the young farmer a start toward
the purchase of a better one. The third
class , called the merry-go-round mills , are
more pretentious In that they may be prac
tically unlimited in size and power. Ono of
these mills in western Nebraska irrigates
ten acres of distinctly arid land. Crude as
are these mills , they may lead to the solution
of the far
agricultural problem
of the one
west that Is , methods of supplying sufficient
moisture at the critical moment for the
growing of crops.
I'UUL. CATIONS.
Among other valuable publications Just
Issued by professors Is an article In the
Transactions of the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers on "Armature Reac
tions In a Rotary Converter , " by Prof. Rob
ert B. Owens and two of his students ,
Messrs. Hawksworth and Doubrava. The
article abounds In valuable plates. It
demonstrates that curves can be obtained
ohowlng the Instantaneous distribution of
Induction over the polo faces of n rotary
converter for different armature positions
and conditions of loading. Of course , the re
sults as found agree with what might have
been anticipated and are probably not new
to the engineers of someof our manufac
turing concerns , but as the experiments of
a ccmpsny'B engineers form part of flic
company BE ets. they do not always find their
way Into engineering literature.
Another technical paper IB by Prof. Ellory
\V. Davis , head of the mathematlc depart-
mort , entitled "On the Sign of u Deter
minant's Term. " The professor In the proof
of his theorem adds a contribution to
higher mathematics.
The Btato universities have united upon a
certain form for gathering general religious
statistics. The general results of the can-
vrss at the University of Nebraska of the
enrollment up to October 11 was as follows :
Out of 1.200 students , only 119 were not
church members or adherents of Homo de
nomination. The seven denominations leadIng -
Ing In church members and adherents ware
the Methodist , Presbyterian. Coiigrcgatlona1 ,
Baptist , Christian Episcopal , Lutheran.
These statistics in connection with the well
known activity of the Young Men's Chris
tian association and the Young Women's
Ohrlfltl.ni association and the movement of
the College Settlement show the general
religious good health of the Institution.
The meeting of the Association of State
Principals and Superintendents has brought
many of the principals to the university to
Inquire after the welfare of tholr students.
The principals are gratified to find their pu
plls hard at work , nud report the studentn
are nnthfslastlo about the university. A
proposed revision of the high school courses
of study preparatory to the university was
submitted to the association for suggestions.
It Is proposed at an early date that the de
partment of public instruction and the uni
versity Issue a new und rcvlB'd edition of the
Nebraska High School Manual.

therefore taken the preliminary steps toward

The athletic society will bo limited to flftj
members. The list Is an Id to bo almost flllei
at the present time with charter members
nnd many other students will probably wlsl
to Join before the winter Is over. The Inl
tlntlon fee Is nominal , with small monthlj
nsscFsmeiits. The by-laws stipulate that tht
physical training will bo secondary to tin
regular course of studies. A certain mnrt
In all studies will bo required before one li
eligible to membership. This course If
planned so that the Interest In nlMctlcs slml
not dominate the Interest In the work of tht
school ,
H Is probable that the first energies of thi
association will bo devoted In the dlrectlor
of Indian club swinging. Nathan Horns'eh
the foot ball coach of the boys' club , who hac
been largely Instrumental In the form.itlnt
of the now club , will act ns physical dlrerloi
In this line of exorcise until the girls shal
have accumulated enough skill to conduc
their own organization. Later on basket
ball and fencing will be Introduced , and whet
summer comes tennis will be In vogno.
As every available Inch of space In tht
rooms of the High school is nt present occu
pled by the classes the halls will bo uset
for exercises for the present. The girls wll
start In upon the new scheme In a few days
or at least as soon as the classes can be or
ganlzcd. Bloomers will bo tabooed and sho'rl
skirts of soft material will be used. Even
member of the club will be obliged to ham
In the written consent of her parents before
she will bo counted a me'mbcr In good stand'
Ing. Much enthusiasm Is being manifested
In the project.
In connection with new schemes afoot , Ml
McHugh stated that an orchestra and g'.et
club Is being planned by a number of music'
ally Inclined students. Prof. Moore , who Is
an able performer upon the cornet , nnd Miss
Fannie Arnold , vocal Instructor , have thest
Ideas under consideration. It Is quite pt > S'
slblo that plans for the carrying out of tin
same will crystallize shortly.

of Chicago. H was largely through him
that the university was established , und u
marble bust of him will be placed In one
of the un.lversity buildings by the Baptists
of the country.
The University of Missouri receives $23,023
from the estate of the late John C. Conley
under the operation of a law recently pssed
by the legislature which provides that If a
man dies leaving no father , mother or direct
lineal descendant a certain per cent of his
estate , excluding any amount left for char
itable or religious purposes , must go to the
State university.
Does education pay ? This question Is
answered In a rather practical way by the
secretary of the Pratt institute of Brooklyn ,
a school known all ove' the country for the
high quality of its work. The Institute cel
ebrated Its tenth mnlvcrsary the other day ,
and the secretary , In referring to the 1,337
graduates , stated that -they are earning
$1.000,000 a year.
During the last year a total of 2,033 stu
dents has been In attendance at the Uni
versity of Chicago , this being an Increase of
4CS above last year. The departmental reg
istrations show that 707 students arc of the
graduate schools , 329 of the divinity schools ,
225 of "the senior college , 35S of the junior
college and P.SO unclassified students. There
are 109 Instructors In the university.
The falling off In numbers of the- Yule
freshman class Is about what was expected.
The estimates flhow a Blight decrease in the
number of applications , and It was not
thought that the fall examinations would
make up the difference. Last year's fresh
man class In the academical department
numbered : ! f > 9 at the corresponding time. The
class of 1901 Is about twenty-live less than
this.
this.A committee of professors at the Berlin
university , many of whom are men of world
wide fame ( Monimsen , Vlrchow , etc. ) , has
been formed for the foundation of a people's
high school. Latt year's rector of the uni
versity , Prof. Ilrunnor , a conservative , was
opposed to the plan , but the newly elected
rector Prof. Schinoller. an. . authority In sociology
elegy , has declared In favor of university
extension.
A new Catholic Institution of learning will
be dedicated In Galesburg October 14. It
will be called the Corpus Chrlstl Lyceum
and University. A handsome building , ad
mirably suited for the work , will accommo
date the number or students expected for
several years , when extension Is planned.
The principal address on the occasion of the
dedication will be delivered by Bishop SpaldIng -
Ing of Peorla.

HEADS OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
Men and Women Who Have Guided the
Institution's ' Growtb ,
TURNING POINTS IN ITS USEFUL CAREER

The retirement lost week of Llbrarlat
nenjamln S. Harrows from the hold of Hit
public library and the Induction of Mis :
Kdlth Tobltt as acting librarian will doubtless -
less mark a now turning point In the history -
tory of that useful Institution. Althougl
over a quarter of a century old , the Omaha
Public library has had but eight dlfferenl
heads and of these two or three have hni' '
charge of It the greater part of the po'lod
From a small collection of l.SOO book
housed In dingy rooms on Fourteenth stroo
It has grown to nearly 50,000 voliiims In ,1
substantial public building erected spcclallj
for Its service.
During the first few years after Its fouu
datlon the library was operated by a loca
society and relied upon private resources for
Its maintenance. The curator placed li
charge of this modest establishment was
Mrs. Allmnii , who made the llrst attempt a
arranging and cataloguing the books. She
had previously lived In Cleveland 0. , ant
had taught In n seminary there In the ca
paclty of a trained nurse. Visiting this clt >
in May , 1872 , she was engaged as llbrarlai
and continued. In that position for e-evera
months. No one Is Informed of her subse
qiicnt occupation or of her present where
obouts.
In the fall of 1S72 the custodianship of the
library passed to Miss Louise Money , a
woman from Daston , Mass. , well fitted for
the position. She was connected with the
family of J. J. Dickey of this city , and Imi
been a teacher In the Omaha High school
Under her charge the arrangement of tin
library was based on a well-formed system
And although the salary of the librarian wuf
still small and the shelves scantily fllloi
the library begun to assume a somowha
more prosperous aspect. Miss Honey wan n
devout Catholic and soon decided to cense
era to her life to religious service. Accord
Ingly she went to Quebec and entered a con
vent , where clip remained for n number o
yours. She lutor removed to Chicago unt
died in that cityIn 1890.
MOIIH LIKE A LIHRARY.
At the resignation ofMlsa Honey the
charge of the library pasted to Miss Delia
M. Sears , a young woman who had slioril }
before finished her education at Browne ]
hall. By this time the library had grown more
pretentious and the length of the member
ship roll , at an annual fee of $3 a member
Justified the directors In removing the quar
ters to the north side of Dodge , near Four
teenth street , where a whole floor was avail
able. In December , ISTfi , Miss Sears ten
dered her resignation and three years later
\vas married to Judge A. N. Ferguson , now
of the district bench. Mrs. Ferguson Is stll
a resident of this city and has always main
tained a deep interest In literary and philan
thropic works. She was one of the first
members of the Woman's club , and for the
last 'two years has been the treasurer ol
that organization. She has also been actively
engaged In the work of the Young Woman's
Christian association.
The successor of airs. Ferguson was Miss
Jean M. Allan. M'ss Allan came In
early childhood from MIchigui , whore
she was . born In 1S55. She re
mained In the library for over three yearfi ,
during which time the library was removed
to moro lightsome and commodious quarters
In the L. n. Williams block at Fifteenth
and Dodge streets. During her service ,
also , the legislature passed a measure pro
viding for the public control and manage
ment of the library , for the requirements
and consequent expense of It were ever
growing and the library society found the
burden beyond Its strength. Miss Allan re
signed her position In February , 1SSO , and
was married about the same time to W. U.
Johnson of this city. < Mr. and Mrs. John
son , with their three sons , are still residents
of Omaha.
Upon the withdrawal of Miss Allan , her
sister , Miss Mary P. Allan , was promoted to
the position of llbuirlan. She had been pre
pared for the work by an appren
ticeship under her eister and conducted it
Eatlsfactrrily until May , ISSfi. While
Miss Allan was In charge the library
rooms , which had seemed so ample , were
socn overcrowded. A move was accordingly
made to Doughs street , between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth streets , where two floors were
secured. Mss ! Allan married'Henry C. Bock
In 1S8C , and now resides at 2208 Hurt street.
The position of librarian next passed to
Miss Jessie Allan whose occupancy contin
ued for nearly ten years. The sys
tem of cataloguing in use from
the fii\st was found to bo Inade
quate and an expert was employed to re
model It. Under his direction the books ,
numbering 15,000. were rcclasslflod , renum
bered and mostly card catalogued. The li
brary was removed to the third door of the
Paxton block. For the advancement of her
work Miss Allan kept informed of thu prog
ress of the libraries of the country. She
was a member of the American Librarians'
ORsoclation and was at one time- second vice
president of the state association. Like her
slaters. Miss Allan had spent her life In
Omaha , her birthplace being the old Herndon -
don house. She died In September , 1S95 , at
the age of 31 years of consumption , having
shortly bcforo rstlred from thu Ilbrarbnslilp.
Mlsc Allan wag succeeded In September ,
isy. , by Benjamin II. Harrows , previous ! )
chief of the advertising department of the
Union Pacific railroad. He la an. eld resident
of Omaha. During Presldont'H Ar-
thms's administration Mr. Barrows
had been appointed consul to Dublin ,
a position which he held for a number of
years. He Is a man of considerable literary
tr.ilnlng and has always Indulged his taste
for go nl books. iHIs own private library Is
said to bo one of the best and choicest lr.
the city , both as to selection and arrange
ment. Mr. Barrows tendered his resigna
tion at the last meeting of the library
boaid. As a token of their esteem the
library staff , lust Friday , presented him
with an engraved match box , a hidden
spring of which opened to view his wife's
portrait taken in her early girlhood. An-
rther present was a cigar case with a large
silver Initial , and a box of "fillers. "
The present acting librarian. Miss Rdith
Tobltt , has been engaged as an assistant a ;
the library for the last rilno years. In
September , 1S98 , she entered Pratt Institute ,
Brooklyn , and pursued a complete course In
library economy and cataloguing. Kijulpped
with her long experience- here and with u
natural aptltudo for the work , MU Tobltt
completed the year's course In u little- over
six months and was granted a diploma. She
was Immediately given employment at the
library of thu Institute , where she has been
until the present time. She was engaged
part of the tlmo at the branch library of the
Pratt Institute In lower New York. She
inscribes thu work there as Interesting , but
ilecldedly "shimmy. " Miss Tobltt was horn
In KnglatKl. but went to West Virginia In
her childhood. Shu spent onu year at the
Omaha High school , end during tin- thirteen
yearn slnco has pursued the studios of
French , UnglUh and history In prlvatu
rlassev. Miss Tobltt has announced no new
liollcy of library government as yet nnd It
IB believed that the old methods will not
bo radically departed from. Her present
corps of assistants Is composed of the fol
lowing : Mies Margaret O'ilrlrn , assistant
librarian ; MltKes The dora M. Hurstall , Mary

AMUSEMENTS.
Two large and apparently happy audi
ences saw IIanlon' * "Superba" yesterday at
the Crelghton. The familiar spectacle , while
It retains Its accustomed general form , has
been extensively altered in the minor do-
t&lls uml remains DIM ; of the nioht pleasing
shows of Its class now on the roJd. Charles
Guyer , who has been Identified with "Su-
perba. " for several seasons , ls still the
clown , nnd though most of the other faces
are new , they arc not less acceptable than
their predecessors.
The two queens , impersonated by Eugenia
Dingens and Ellcnorc Carroll , are of that
shapaly typa which ono expects of extrava
ganza potentates , and there Is a chcrus
of a dozen well built young women. The
soubrcttc , Louise Tniax , also makes a good
Impression. The specialties are up to the
usual standard , and the mechanical appll-
inccs , particularly that permitting a horse
to fall Into a chasm and UK rider to be
hurled In safety to the opposite cliff , are
qulto remarkable.
"Superbi" will remain nt theCreigliton
until Wednesday night , with a matinee on
Wednesday.
The ever popular Primrose & West's mln-
strels opened u two days' engagement at
Boyd'B theater last night to n large nticml-
aneu , considering the weather. Among the
special attractions of the entertainment were
: ho 'Freeze ' brothers , tambouilne spinners ;
Trovolo , with his remarkable automatons ;
jphrodt1 brothers In a novel acrobatic act ;
\ill < c and Semen , doing a musical specialty ,
iml last but by no moans least , Ezru Kon-
Iill : in n very amusing monologue. Owing
to the late arrival of the company In the
city the advertised Sunday matinee was not
given. The engagement closes with torxght'a
.orformunco.
The engagement of Madame Modjeska at
ilnyd'H theater on October 21 and 22 Is one
which will bo regarded with feelings of lively
satisfaction by all classes of tlio public ,
or she has ever been a favorite with all
who attend the theater. Her retirement two
, 'cars ago , caused by 111 luulth , It was feared
or n tlmo would bo permanent , but a long
rest has entirely restored her vigor. She
vlll bo seen on Thursday evening In "Magda"
and on Friday In "Mary Stuart. " The sale
of scats begins this morning.
It Is apparent from the * ale of seats that ,
although the production of "Thu Heart of
Maryland" at Boyd's tomorrow \\lll bo Its
nlUal performance here , the fame of the
) lay has preceded It. It will bo given under
he personal supervision of the author , David
lelaKco , who will direct the performances.
There Is u natural curiosity to BOO Mrs.
. .osllo Carter as Maryland Calvort. Some
of the we-ll known members of the company
are James E. Wilson , Frank Mordaunt , Theo
dore Roberts , Grant Stewart. Herbert MIII-
vard , J. II. Hazleton , Helen Tracy , Angola
McCaull and Virginia Tracy.
Thcro Is no need of little children being
ortnrcd by tcald head , ac/oina and tkln
eruptions. DC Witt's Witch Hazel Salve
gives liiuUnt relief and cures permanently.
