1o iho citizens of Omaha , nnil tliorcby put
ting ft stop to the ( Dwindling operations which
tire already being practiced on unsuspecting
householder ! ! . This bureau will bo the offi
cial representative of the exposition In. a
Blatters relating to the accommodation o
visitors to the city. The exact extent t
which tha functions of this organization wi
7)0 extended has not been doturmlncd , na n
meeting of the bureau has been held. Chair
man Dudley Smith says ho will call a mod
fng of the 'bureau ' as soon nu Mr. Arthur C
Smith returns to the city , and the plan o
operations will then bo decided upon.
. Up to this tlmo the exposition has take
absolutely no atops In the direction of pro
vldlng for the accommodation of visitors , ex
cept to appoint three members of a Join
committee , compoeod of representatives o
the Commercial club , Woman's club am
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben. This commlLtc
< 1H nothing , as far as the public Is concerned
corned , except to collect limited amoun
of data resaitllng the extent of the hoto
necommodatlonu of the city.
Certaiti pcrsDi arc goItiR about the clt
vbltlng private houacs an\l telling the house
wlfo who answers the door that they repre
sent a concern which IMS a contract wit
the exposition management to make a Us
of persons who want to rtut rooms to stmng
ors coming to the city during the oxposltlot
These solicitors endeavor to inductth
housewife to become a patron of their concern
corn and prom too , In consideration of th
payment of $5 , to keep her rooms full. 1
Is ako stipulate ] tlwt the nul > . * crlbor inns
pay a small percentage of her receipts to th
company represented by the solicitor. Thcs
charges are explained by siylng that the $
Is to cover the oxpceiso of organizing and ad
vertlt'lng ' the company , and the oilier pay
mcnta are to help meet the revenue whlc
the company must pay to the exposition. I
Is represented that the contmct with th
exposition mawgeruerit requ.res the compan
to pay to the exposition 10 per cent of It
receipts , a.iid the patriotism of the housewif
la worked upon to Join the company as a
means of helping the exposition while deriving
riving a benefit herself. No 'irrangemca
of thla kind has been made with any person
or collectloa of persons , and nothing what
t'Ver In this line 1ms been done by the ox
EXPOSITION" NOT CONCERNED.
In reply to a question regarding this mat
tor. Secretary Wakelleld of the cxposltlo
eald : "No such arrangement has ever bcci
niMlo by the executive committee of th
exposition , and no proposition embodying
any such conditions has ever been submlttci
to the committee by any person or com
liany. All matters of that kind belong t
the Huroau of Public Comfort , which ha
not yet had any meeting , so that no arrange
merit could have been made 'with ' tha
committee. "
It is learned that representatives of thl
concern have visited a large number o
people In different sections of the city , am
the amount of money that has been fraudu
lently obtained from the peopla of Omaha
is unknown , but Is thought to bo consider
able.
able.Another
Another matter which will engage the
ntentlon of the Bureau of Public Comfor
will bo that of hotel rules. That some o
the hotels contemplate n raise In the !
rates Is Indicated by certain action on thcl
part. It is learned on the authority of a
man who > .holds a. high position In a certain
state government that he endeavored' to
make arrangements with a certain hotel Ii
this city for accommodations for the governor
ornor of his state and a largo suite during
the opening days of the exposition. The
Sotel man refused to reserve any rooms or to
make any agreement regarding rates , saying
ho would bo glad to accommodate the party i
lie had the rooms when the time came , but
positively refused to say what the rate
would be ,
The members of the Bureau of Public
Comfort have several plans under considera
tion which contemplate the erection 'by pri
vate parties of largo temporary hotels for
the accommodation of the largo Influx o
visitors to the city during the summer , am
also have several other plans which the >
will present for the consideration of the
other members , to prevent the overcharg
ing of visitors.

Jim Key , Is little short of a marvel
Numerous clippings from some ot the mos
reliable newspaperu In the country describe
in mlnuto detail yio manners In which thl
horeo 'accomplishes feata which nrc Incrcd
Iblc. Ho writes his name on a
blackboard with a piece of chalk
held In his mouth ; operates a cash register
by taking n piece of money and making the
correct change when told the amount of the
purchase by the person making the pur
chase and not by his trainer , takes a letter
from a.box when told the number of the
box In which it is and the name of the ad
dressee and puts the letter In a file case
under the proper letter without being told
the spelling of the name. There are a num
ber of other feats which this horse accom
plishes according to what seems to bo In
disputable testimony contained In letters
from prominent people and the newspaper
clippings referred to. The animal Is said
by Mr. Rogers to bo S years of age , a ba >
nbout sixteen hands high , sired by Volun
teer out of Flora , a full-blood Arabian. Ho
was raised by a coloreil man well known In

AMUSEMENTS.
"A pretty play , well- and skillfully con
structed , and presented with rare art by
ono of the best companies of players eccn
of late on the local atago" that was and
( till Is the verdict of the people who
composed a very largo audlonco at Itoyd's
last night , when "A Ccat of Many Colors"
was seen In Omaha for the first time , with
Herbert Keleey , Effio Shannon and William
J. LcMoyno in the leading roles. Indeed It
has been a long time slnco so pleasant a
means of an evening's enjoyment has been
offered to local theater-goers by so thor
oughly good a cast. U Is something of a
shock at first to see the debonairo Mr. Kel-
cey , who has been hitherto chiefly Identi
fied with character , representing "tho glass
of fashion and the mould of form , " Imper
sonating n hater aud a baiter of women ;
and to accept sweet and dainty Miss Shan
non as a stronc minded woman , who
"thinks bloomers" If she doesn't wear them ,
requires no less of a readjustment of one's
settled convictions. However , the notion
that an actor can or ought to bo held down
to a single line of part , simply because
ho j ays that line well , Is pretty well aban
doned nowadays , nt least by the actors
themselves , although the public still shows
a disposition to restrict its favorites of
the stage to the famll'lar grooves in which
they have run to favor. No otic is likely
to find fault , however , with cither Miss
Shannon or .Mr. Kclcey for any violent
change of style shown In the presentation
of Mrs. Ryloy's bright play , for Esther
Gunning Is-81111 a sweet and dainty woman ,
although a practitioner of the law. and Her
man Walboys , although n professed mis
ogynist , wears wo'.l fitting clothes with ns
easy a grace as Herbert Keleey ever knew
how to do , nnd docs' ' not long remain inscn-
slblo to Cupid's wllca when they are prop
erly brought to bear upon him.
The plot of the play U a somewhat com
plicated one. Perhaps it was made so with
Intent to cause people to go a second time
to make sure they have understood It aright.
The love affairs of no less than four cou
ples , counting the diverting episode of Satin-
dcrs and "Hill'1 Hutchlns , are tangled up
In apparently Inextricable error. But the
snarled skein Is deftly unraveled , with
much bright dialogue nnd many hnppy sit
uations , and the final curtain falls on gen
eral bliss , either already bestowed or cer
tain to be attained.
The company supporting these two stars ,
so fortunately conjoined , Is , as has been In
dicated , an exceedingly good one. William
J. LcMoyno is and has long been one of
tl'o most accomplished character comedians
of hlo time. It Is always a pleasure to
see him In any part which ho may under
take , and although the character of old
Walboys gives him less and fewer oppor
tunities than are to bo desired , he Improves
them , such as they are , llko the true artist
he Is. Mr. Lyons la admirable na the hardheaded -
headed old Scot. The little bit where he
sustains an Introduction to his own daughter
with "Pleased to inak' ycr acquaintance' ,
ma'am , " and goes off L. U. E. fairly siz
zling v.-lth wrath , Is n gem of purest ray.
Miss Wilton plays Mrs. Majcndlo fault
lessly , and Miss Georgia Busby shows de
cided artistic growth since she was last seen
hero in Irish romantic and vocal drama.
More than a word of praise should be be
stowed upon Mr. Sco for his droll charac
terization of Saunders.
Miss Shannon suffered last night from a
severe cold , and evidently appeared at all
at the cost of serious inconvenience. It Is
honed she may bo fully recovered in time
for this evening's performance.
'U. Coat of Many Colors" will bo re
peated tonight aud twlco tomorrow. It Is u
pleasure to recommend It cordially to the
Omaha pnbllo as furnishing a most agree
able evening's entertainment.
An unusually attractive program has been
prepared for the next concert -ofj the Omaha
Orchestral society , which will take place
at Iloyd's theater at 3 o'clock next Friday
afternoon. Mine. Muenteferlng will play
Grieg's A minor concerto , op. 16 , with or
chestral accompaniment , and Miss Jessie
Dickinson and Miss Clara Palmer will sing.
Robert J. nurdette , the humorist , will give
a lecture next Thursday evening at Crelghton
hall.
Edwin Mayo and a largo company will ap
pear at Boyd's on Thursday , Friday and
Saturday evening's nnd at a matinee Satur
day in a characterization of Mark Twain's
famous story , "Pudd'nhcad Wilson. " The
stage has mndo known no more Interesting
people than the folk from Dawson's Landing ,
Mo. , and they tell a very Interesting story ,
throughout which laughter and tears suc
ceed each other as sunshine succeeds shower
on an April day. It is a novel play , with
odd characters and thoroughly enjoyable by
all classes of people.

aient of the municipal legal department.
.Mr. Daldrlgo stated the position taken by
hla client , which is that under the new
charter the special agent must bo appointed
hy tbo mayor and council. If this Is tiio
case , bo holds that the appointment of Mr.
Kobertson by the city attorney does not con
stitute a legal appointment and that he still
holds over.
City Attorney Connell ailvlacil the council
that under the ordinance the position of spe
cial agent was similar to that of ono of
the employes of the engineering or comp
troller's departments. Ho wna simply an
employe and could be employed or dismissed
by the head of the department. The mat
ter was taken under advisement ly the
