AMUSEMENTS. #
* &
The best entci talnment afforded In tonn
la t week tvn not that furnished by the
the.it CM , which nflH little In quantity and
moro or less shady In character. Nothing
offered at Ihc regular playhouses compared ,
In standln or'hi merit , with the lectures
f& frb ? ur. Holmes at the Plrnl Congre-
jrf BgatIonal * church. John L. StoJdard used to
bo the orator par1 excellence of the platform
of the Illustrated lecture. The pictures with
which ho cmbelllnhed his Mlks , however ,
Although they were admirable In conception
and execution , were not wont to be colored ;
hence they failed , as reproductions In b'ack
and white muot nlwajs fall , wholly to sat
isfy the 0)e. Mr. Holmes' pictures are not
only artistically taken , for the most part
by Ms own camera , but the coloring his been
truthfully supplied and exquisitely laid on
by Mlts Katharine Breed. Possibly ot the
three lectures , that of Thursday night , on
"The Yellowstone , " pleased the audience
ltx t ; and that less by reason of the superior
Intrinsic value ot the lecture Itself than on
account ot the exceeding beauty ot the pic
tures which accompanied It. Many were In
terested In Corsica before , and more after ,
the entertainment of last evening , which
closed the scries That famous Island Is
popularly noted first , because Napoleon was
iborn there , and , second , for the vendetta
which Is supposed to flourish within Its
borders and 16 furnish uerpotiul emuloj rnem
in the hatlTC lnh\bHants. H Is good to
know , on authority BO competent , that there
arc other points ot Interest about Corsica
and that clvlll7ed man , on a civilizing
blcdc , Incurs only the common hazards of
the road when he ventures thither.
It would be a pleasure to hear Mr Holmes
speak In a parlor It Is good to heir him
in a large room , so far aa diction and
enunciation go. What he sijs Is well said
and for the most part worth saying. He In
happiest , lu the colloquial vein , anil ono Iff
Btirc he would bo a delightful fellow traveler
nnd n most agrceafi'e recontcur A tired
listener , however , would almost Inevltablj
be lulled to repose more or less found b )
the monotonous flow of Mr. Holmes' voice , or
kept In a state of Irritation by his habit of
breaking up his sentences Into Jerky phrases ,
each set off b ) hill stops
With this exception Mr Holmes' lecture i
are calculated to give unmixed satisfaction
Ho Is young enough and Intelligent enough
to rorcedy tl.ls fault He has made manv
friends In Omaha during his present visit
Who will be glad to see and hear him again
As to the theaters , one might choose be
tween "Ole Olsen , " "The I'ulse of New
York" and "In Gay New York , " and. If one
found nothing attractive In the grotesque list ,
one might stay at home Few saw the two
flrst mentioned probabl ) cjulte as many as
the entertainments deserved A good man )
were attracted to "In Gaj New York" b )
agreeable memories of Its visit Just a ) eai
flgo , when William J Bryan graced the oc
casion of Its closing night by making the
last speech of his compalgn from the stage
after the performance , the plaers. In thcli
make-up and fantastic costumes , having
scrambled Into the stage boxes or grouped
themselves In the wings to hear him At
that time Walter Jones , David Warfield and
Luc ) Daly were the backbone of the piece
nnd were genuinely artistic and amusing
Now they are gene and there is none to re
place them. Audiences assembled last week
which wore out do rkeepers In dispensing re
turn checks between acts and which brought
temporary prosperity to neighboring bais
These thirsty souls evident ! ) found some
thing admirable In the uncouth swaggering
vulgarity of the man Toy , but It may be
doubted If others did. Fey was "Off the
Earth" for a consldeinble time a jear or two
ago. It Is decidedly to be regretted that ho
was not suffered to remain there.
No promulgation which has thus far been
published as emanating from Charles Froh-
man places Omaha definitely nmong the "Ja )
towns" which are henceforth to rest In. the
Shadow of Ills displeasure , and there seems a
fair prospect that this public will not be
wholl ) deprived of the sweetness and light
shed abroad by productions bearing his name.
To he so cut off , while It would be In the
nature of a calamity , would not be unbear
able ; fo : It must not be forgotten In weigh
Ing such matters , that art and the stage and
the gC at nubile are long , while Mr. Froh-
iiiain and the rest of the cho&cn people Into
whoso hands the administration of the drami
has unhappily fallen , are as fleeting as the
thralldom In which the ) now hold the Amer
ican theater.
The change In this regard which all stu
dents of the stage and observers of the signs
of the Hires have foreseen Is clearly Im
pending , and forces are gathering together
with the avowed purpose of emancipating the
drama from the dominion of the syndicate
which Is perslstentl ) degrading art to the
level of the boolfice. . The best sentiment In
Omaha will readily join In a movement to
this end. The New York Dramatic Mirror ,
which Is universal ! ) rcc > gnbed as the best
and most authoritative \mcrlcan publica
tions devoted to the stnge , Is leading a
crusade against the syndicate , In which It Is
followed by n bravo and constantly Increas
ing ariay ot powerful newspapers In re
taliation. that branch of the syndicate which
has Its local I abltatlon In Philadelphia has
toegun to coerce the hotel news stands In the
QunKer City Into thro.vlng out the Mirror on
paiu of having the sale of tickets to the
Byndlcate theaters withdrawn from them
Small practise , this and ludicrous ! ) futile
"warfare " ; for the Mirror , reljlng upon Its In
disputable merits , will still sell , while the
syndicate , depending only upon a monopoly
( founded on sordid greed has alrcad ) seen the
bandwrltlng on the wall
Sdney Grundy's "Sowing the Wind" will

noon and evening
Thin piny , which Is In Its third year of
Its career , has been talked about and writ
ten about moro tlnn any other dramatic
composition of recent years , its story is
ono of Interest , and Is told In n most fas
clnatlng way , und the p'ot Is developed eo
skillfully that the audience is Kept eager
end alert fiom the opening scene to the fall
ot the curtain.
Ned AnuesJoy , u ) oung man of high social
position , fallH In love with a London con
cert singer at the height of her professional
triumph. Brabazon , his adopted father ,
takes exception to the young woman , whose
parentage IH Involved In doubt. He forbids
the marriage , but Ned manfully remains
etcndfast to the girl Rosamond. A crisis
arrives and Ned defies Brabazon and Is cast
on * . At this Juncture Rosamond appeals to
the old man , who hints at the cloud ot her
birth as an Insurmountable objection. She
pleads the Injustice of holding her to ac
count for the sins of her parents She puts
the designing cruelty and selfishness of man
in the balance against the weakness of
woman. "Sex against Sox" Is her theme
and It Is the theme of the piny The audi
ence hag already discovered that Brabaron.

The play IB said to bo adequately staged ,
and the costumes , especially those of Rosa

William H. Crane , the comedian , taken
possession of the stage of the Boyd theater
on Wednesday , when he will begin an en
gagement of two nights and a matinee. De
spite the fact that Mr Crane has been of late
jears an Infrequent visitor to th's city , his
juccc'ESOR In the east keeping him In that
portion of the country , he lo known to be
ono of the best actors on the American singe.
Of the threeplajs that ho Is to .give , one
"A Virginia Courtship , " Is a comedy dealing
with old-fashioned people ; nnd the other , "A
Fool of Fortune , " Is essentially a play of
the present , "A Vlrgln'a Courtship' comes
from the pen ot Eugene 1'rcsbiey , who tcok
In writing the p'ny many of the most suc-
i e lnl of the old cMssleal comedies as his
models. Ho set his scenes In "Virginia at n
time when that state w s a colony and the
century was In Its swaddling clothes
\round the families of a peppery old major
and a pretty French widow he wove a stor )
of love and Intrigue. The play Is In three
acts nnd the claim Is made that It Is histor
ically correct as to scenery aad costumes
'A Fool of Fortune" wss written by a
woman Martha Morton and was one of the
big hits of the last ) onr In New York
Speculation Is Its theme and In a lucid way
It endeavors to explain the business methods
if the men who manipulate the New York
> tock market Its hero Is a broker who
wins a fortune only to lose It agalo , and
who only succeeds In getting back on his
feet to die In the first few moments after
his decisive victory "A Virginia Courtship"
will be given on Wedneslay night and "A
Fool of Fortune" on Thursday. When Mr
Crane was here two jears ago he presented
His Wife's Father , " a comedy by Martha
Morton , before a. verj large audience The
p'ay made a very deep Impression and as
Tiere have been some Inquiries for it , Mr
Crane has consented to give It at a special
matinee on Thursday. Mr. Crane Is 'sup
ported this season by Annie Irish , I'erc )
Haswell , Walter Hale and other clever pee
ple.
Julia Marlowe will fulfill ! her annual en-
Sigcmcnt at Bod's > theater , beginning Mon-
t'ay evening , November 8 , for four nights
V special fMture will be the pioductlcei o'
For Bonnie Prince Charlie , " her new plaj
'hat has made a success and a sensation In
he larger cities. The drama was adapted
from the French of Francois Ccppee bj I
I C. Clirke and deals ot course with tlic
rising of the Scottish clans In favor of Charld
Edward Stuart , the young pretender. MUi-
Marlowe will Impersonate Mary , the grand
child of a gecitleman reduced to beggary b *
his espousal of the Jacobite cause. Marv
'alls In love with the prince , who Is al = o
beloved by Lad ) Clanmoirls , wife of a powei
fill chieftain. The prince's intrigue with
the noblewoman almost leads to his down
'all , and he lb heroically saved by Mary , who
sacrifices her reputation to save the prince
from disgrace A strong attempt , It Is said
has been made to give the stage accessorle-
of the play historical accuracy. The tra-
tans were woven for the production ; the vvai
badges of the various clans at the time have
been carefully Investigated and will be cor-
icct. and the flags and arms , especially the
Lochaber axes and cla ) mores will be exactlj
reproduced. Bagpipes will "skirl" and Scot
tish songs will bo sung Commendatory re-
ooits of the strength and beaut ) of Miss Mat
owo's portrajal of the role of Mary have
been received
The Interest manifested by the people of
th's clt ) In the music of the Transmlsslsslppl
Exposition Is a mrst encouraging sign of the
times H si ) s p'ulnly ' that the cltbens of
Omaha will take pride In an honorable
musical department and will heartily sup
port It If they are sure It Is worthy o'
their support They are convinced that
music Is worth while and that a ftffe musical
department will abundantly repay Its
ccst to the exposition management The
writer Is In the po'-sesslcn of numerous
letters from musicians of national and even
inteinational reputation who are watching
tlie action of the exposition In this matter
and who express themselves as anxious that
a bold stand bo taken for the cause of art In
the middle west. They are ready to put theh
shoulders to the wheel and help the caufe
along , provided the musical department Is
such that they can respect It and co-operate
with It When such men as Sherwood , Llste-
mann , Luckstoue , GooJrlch , Armstrong , Per
kins , Behrens and even Seldl and Damrosch
express themselves concerning anything It Is
well w01 tli while to listen.
The exposition Is a mighty chance to bring
Omaha and all this part of the west Into
the closest relationship with the leading
musicians of the whole United States , and It
Is the one and enl ) chance that will ccme
for a great many ) ears. If another ever
comes. The muilclans of the clt > are
practically united In their willingness to help
build up the department , and those few who
aie so blind as to think that they can bleed
It when the time comes arc too Insignificant
to merit a moment's attention. When such
real musicians as 'Mrs ' Cotton , Miss Terr ) ,
Mosrers Gahm , Albert Calm , Butler , Kelly ,
Kratz and others are In favor of a real
musical department , it matters little what
the rest may think These are thzy who ,
when the time for action comes , can do
something They will be able to stand up
along side of those from New York and
Chicago and maintain the honor and reputa
tion of Omaha It Is worthy cf notice trat
the professional musicians who are real
powers in the musical undertakings of the
city are ready to work for the exposition
and to co-operate with each other In the
common cause
The time Is at hand when the grand move
ment will be set In motion which shall
evolve five months of concerts to be attended
b ) the cultured of all the country It Is a
time of vast Importance In the history of
Omaha

Tto Mondomtn Choral society will open the
season on Thursday evening ot this week
with a concert , supposed to be a repetition
or the first concert of the society , which was
given thieo seasons ago
The society has been noted locally for 'ho
artistic finish of the choral work , and thin
cetison , notwithstanding that the examina
tion for membership has been more rigorous
than ever before , the membership Is larger ,
and Mr Kelly has already nccqited over a
score of good voices to be taken Into the
fold Immediately after this concert
The Mondamlns have decided to try the
experiment of giving the regular season con
ceits nt the First Methodist church , Instead
of at theaters , as heretofore , and It would
seem to be a wise determination , on accoueit
ot the excellent acoustic properties of the
place , and the welcome backing of a tine
organ , at which J , E Butler , organist of
Trinity cathedral , will preside ,
Ono of the features of the program will be
"Unfold , Ye Portals , " from Gounod's "Re
demption , " which will be sung by the chorus
of 120 voices , with organ , five cathedral choir
bpvg. wljhMs ter Elffiyj. Hasted , and piano
atwni | < infmnT , and trumpet obllKalo. The
choir bojs will be In the tower and will take
the part designed for the celestial cbo'r by
the composer. Mr , Shank will Blag with the
mala chorus , "Hunting Song , " from "Robin
Hood" ( O K9V n ) . John McCreary will ilog
with the full chorus the "Bridal Chor .1 ,
from "Lucia , " ( Donlrcttl ) .
The chorm of women'1) voices will slnn
"Tho Old Folks at Home , ' harmonized foi
them by Mr. Kelly As on Illustration of a
htnn "Lead , Klndlj Light" will bo sung
and these who Ilko the music ot the Catholic
church will be pleated b ) the "Gloria In
Excclsls , " from Morart's cclebioled "Twelfth
Mass. "
The "Spring Song" of Plnsutl will be at
tractive nnd the program In Its entirety will
bo one worth hearing
In addition to the foregoing Homer Moore
will sing , Mr Rclnbold will play a violin solo
nnd Master Karl Smith , the boy vloIlncellUt.
will play.
This concert Is not a church concert elm-
ply because It Is glvci In a church. It Is the
first concert of the third season of the Mon
damln Choral society
The "Diughter ot Jnlrus , " by Sir John
Stalncr , Is the work contemplated for the
second concert , which will bo given In De
cember. The Stabat Mater of Rossini will bo
given durlnp Pisslon week nnd the season
will cloto with the "Rose Maiden , " by F H
Cow en. The MondamUi society rehearsed the
"Roso Maiden" last winter and had It ready
for production , but the dullness of the times
prevented It. HOMER MOORE.

sopranos of New York , has betn engaged for
the performance rf the "Messiah , " to be
given In Denver In December by the Orntorlo

in Paris and unable to sing H Is the vvondei
In the musical world that after so imnv
Scars of public vverk Mmo. Pattl's voice
retains Its beauty ot tone , for , be It remembered
bored , that her vo-al decadence Is mo.f
critic's carping than anj thing else.
Gertrude May Stein , a 1110770 soprano o'
the highest rank , has Just made a wonderfu1
success In the role of Delilah In the sacrei'
cpera , "Samson nnd Delilah , " composed bv

Stoln was foi several ) cars a member of the
quartet choir In Dr. Parkhurst's church.
Rosenthal will not play In America thlr
season , his com'tig having been postpone'

the cause of th's ' change of plans. Hit
nervous sjstem has never fully recovered

the strength of a Hercules to play the plan
nowac'as After a thorough course will
andow we may expect Rosenthal to pla >

Omaha has t-eeureil another convention for

White this body Is called ft Scottish Hlte
body , It Is not considered to be such by those

cllctlons , although the members must take
the three foundation degrees of Masonry to
join the organization The headquarters are
In IJaltlmorc

Court Ilooin.
"I shall sentence no more prisoners to the
city Jail , " said Judge Gordcn yesterdaj ,
as ho finlbhed the regular grist of petty sin
ners , "until the city provides heat for the
prisoners' quarters It is ridiculous for us
to try and conduct business even here In the
court room. A police magistrate who Is com
pelled to do business encased in an overcoat ,
prosecutor who it , obliged to wear a hat ,
and lawjeis , who by force of cltcumstanccs
have to Handle thtlr papers with gloves are
new features In the police domains of this
country. Such Is , however , the case , anJ ow
ing to the failure of the city to come to an
agreement with the owners of this building
wo and the prisoners are obliged' to suffer. "
Following out this line of argument Judge
Gordon made a clean sweep of his docket ,
ind with the exception of four men who were
arrested for being Inmates of an opium Joint ,
discharged all the otner prisoners
In following up the subject Judge Gordon
said that ho consdiered It high time that
somn decisive action was taken -with re
ference to a jail. "For the last > ear the
prex-nt quaiters have been In the woist
pc"ssible shape both as regards the prisoners'
quaiteis and also the court room , " added
the Judge. "In the Jail portion the sewer
age has been out rf working order for manj
months and nothing but constant flushing
with a ho-e has kept It tenantable. During
the periods when the wnter has been turned
off the s-ewer gas has floated Into the Jailer's
office and has permeated every portion of the
stPtlon , Including the court room Before
the lease between the city nnd the original
owrers of the building expired an electric
ventilating fan was kept running In the
basement. Since the expiration of the lease
the fan has been stopped and not a dollar's
worth of repairing has been done. The court
room was papered about four jears ago , but
it has been a stranger to the paper hanger's
art or the touch of the paint brush ever
since In places the -plastering has fallen-
iff and the windows back of my desk have
been btoVen out and have teen allowed to
remain In this condition In addition to the
miasma arising from the Jail , the gas pipes
leak and those who frequent the court room
have a pleasant choice between , contracting
malaria and being ariph > xlnted. In order to
reduce the dangers the gas Is turned off dur
ing the diy , but when late sessions of court
are necessary the gas must be turned on
Prosecuting Attorney Miller has however ,
abandoned the use of gas In his room and
has brought into use a largo lamp This not
only gives light , but heats his room to a
certain extent. "
Judge Gordon stated > cstcrda > that he
Intended to send a communication to the
major and city council prajlng that relief
bo given the police , cither by having neces
sary repairs made at the station or by mov-
li g the fame to better quarters Ho will
also demand that heat be provided , and In
event of Its refusal ho will be obliged to
cease holding court.

has Just been arrested for the theft ot Jlii.OOO
front the Unltid States mill , Is not well
known In this city. He belonged to the
Choenno division , and Is said to have * nl-
wajs been a western clerk. At the offices
of this division In Omaha It Is said that
Houghton might possibly h vo made an oc
casional trip here , but Is not known except
by thu clerks from this city who meet him
at Chcjenne.
The development of the case leading up to
HoughtoVs arrest shows a large amount of
method In the clerk's action. Ho seems to
have * taken In At a glance the fact that A
valuable pouch hfd not been receipted for
by the clerks ot the eastern divisions of the
reid and apparently at once determined upon
appropriating It. When the articles were
called off to htm In the transfer of the mall
he pas od this pouch without mentioning
thitl there had been no record of Its presence
After leaving Chejenne Houghton cut the
pouch open , secreted thn contents , and
burned the pouc * In the stove. After Itliad
been consumed , hp turned out the ashes , that
the rivets and metal substances might not bo
found , and scattered them broadcast across
the country He was successful In dcstrojlng
all evidence which might lead to his con
viction , although 1io was suspected by the
Inspectors from the start , and his every
