Hall has been appointed Urltlsh vlro consul In Omaha without eal.iry. The Bi'ntlcman Is a member of the law firm of Montgomery & Hall and la among the moot dlntlnguMicel of the young attorncjs of the city. city.Tho The establishment of a Urltlshlco con ciliate In Omaha means a great deal more for this city and Nebraska than the mere fact Implies. It Is the result of carefully cxcrulcil plans , which have been % cry slow In their realisation on account of the dis favor with which the scheme was first re ceived by Sir Julian IVtunccfole , ambaFaailor to the United States from Great Urltaln. However , his prejudices were finally over come1 , with the result that hereafter Omaha will rcce-Ive olllclal recognition from the Ilrlt- lah government In commerce and trade and A do/en other ways heretofore Ignored. Many months ago the effort to secure the consulate was first begun. It happened about that tlmo that the law firm of which Mr Hall In a member had received some legal | ipers from British barristers to serve , wlileh It jiroccedwl to do They were re turned to the old country , but when the cxise In which they wcro Involved came up for trial they could not be Introduced In evidence , because It was found that thev had not been authenticated h > a British coiwiul hero , BB prescribed b > ttngllsh law. OTIIiit : CITIKS HAD CONSULS. When this fact came to the attention of Mi' . Hnll h began an Investigation , the re- Biilt of which \va that ho found there were Drltlsh consuls located all around Omaha In Chicago , St. Paul , Denver , Kansas City mid St Louis while this city with all of Its trade and other advantages was wholly un represented Ho Immediately determined to remedy this fault If possible by bringing tSc British KOVeminent around to what ho deemed would bo a proper recognition of the Importance of Omaha among the other cities of the west , and with this object In \ \ vho opened correspondence with the then British oonsul general in Chicago , Mr Vanslttart , holleltlng his aid and influence In behalf of the cHtabllabmcnt of u consulate In this city Ho showed to that gentleman Omaha's many advantages as a commeirUl center and the Important place Nebraska held among the union of st-itcs Mr Vanslttart referred him to the British ambassador at Washington , > vvhereupon Mr Hnll opened what piovetl to bo a verv extensive correspondence with Sir Julian I'auncefoto upon the subject Ho Bent that gcntlemin full dita of Omaha as n commercial and agricultural center and of Nebraska as a state with a wealth of na'ural resources. He explained tluit there resided In the state many BrltlHhers and thousindii of people who while they had renounced Ore-at Britain for American cltbenshlp were ontltlod to have nn olllc-lal representative of their native country In their midst Hut the ambassador did not take kindly to the Idea and he refuted to establish a consulate here He give It as his reason for the re fusal that In his Judgment Omaha was not of bulllclctit Importance as a city to command jccorfiiitlon In the olllclal manner reauebted of his government , The matter rested hero for several weeks , but Mr Hall refused to abandon the attempt Independent of the discouragement he re ceived from the British embassv at Wash ington. He communicated with United States Senators Thuiatnn and Allen and Congres-smon Mercer and enlisted their as sistance and Influence with Sir Julian They vveio prompt to act and about the tlmo that the ambassador was Induced to reconsider the proposition the British eonsul general at Chicago was icmovcd from his post and succeecded by Captain Wjndhamwhoso service In the British consular department has been of many years duration. This change proved to bp an opportune move In the Interest of Omaha J HAD HEARD OF OMAHA. Captain Wjndliam tiad for n number of Jens been In the consular service In Hayti and at Barcelona , Spiln , and before ho came to this countiy to assume his duties in Chicago cage ho had heard and read a great deal oJ Omaha. Sir Julian referred the whole mat ter to him and Mr Hall Immediately went to Chicago and conferred with the gentlemen. Captain Wyndham was so much pleased with the Intel vleiv that lie asked Mr Hall to fur nish full data covering the case , which re quest the latter Immediately compiled with , mid acting upon thcl consul general's sugges tion Mr. Hall at the simo time put In his application for the olllce , which was bae'Ked by the recommendations of the most promi nent citizens of Omaha and the state Cap- lain Wjiidbam lost no tlmo In giving the matter his olllclal approval by recommending to Sir Jullati Hint the consulate bo estab lished , and uiglng the appointment of Mr. Hall nn consul. The ambassador cclentcd In his antagonism toward the proposition and Kent the consul guncral'B communication to the home government with his endorsement , the result being as .stated. Heretofore Nebraska has been Included In 4h British consular district of Kansas City nnd consequently both Omaln and the fltate have Buffeted not a little through misleading find de'rogitory remarks which have crept j Into the Biltlsh consular reports. Now that tint establishment of a vice consulate hero places Nebiaska directly under the super vision of the consul general at Chicago Mr Hall will deal dliectly with Captain Wyud- ham , to whom ho will make all reports > Consul Hall Is a native of Canada. He born near Toronto thirty-six jais agn > and \ received hli early education In the colleges of that city. Later ho studied law at the University of Wisconsin and then came direct to Oinalm , where ho has practiced his pro fession for ten > cars Although ho Is now n iiuUirallZPil citizen of the United States , he takes a deep Interest In British affairs and I cople Captain Wyndham Is expected to arrive hero from Chicago within a week to perfect I arrangements for the opening of the ccci-1 milato In this city .ItiM Hrn.l TliU.

Tomorrow evening the Board of Education will hold a special meeting to Investigate charges against F. M. Johnson , ono of the eighth grade teachers , filed by parents of pupils. Ono of the complainants is Captain James Austin , who alleges that Johnson took hold of his IC-jear-old daughter's arm and shook her as If she were a baby. Then again when Miss Austin asked Johnson to assist her In the solution of a problem , ho replied that any fool could rak questions. Mr. John son was emplojed by the board at the com mencement of the school year and Is one of the graduates of the High school here. Ever since ho began his career as a teacher complaints have been maelo to the board about the manner In which pupils were treated. Ono instance is related and sub stantiated where Johnson beat and kicked a boy about 12 years of age and otherwise acted In a manner unbecoming a teacher and a gentleman. In another instance the daughter of a well known citizen was com pelled to leave school on account of John son's tieatmeut of her , at least that Is the tllegatlon made by the girl's parents.

It tvas hard to realize Isst night that the people who pla > ed "Sue" at Bojd's composed the eamo Frawley company which presented "SSaenaiidoah" the night before. It must o confessed that the earlier performance was responsible for a certain amount of disap pointment , which was not voiced hcio. In hope tlat a second showing might remove the unfavorable Impression. The event has proved that the hope was well founded , for a stronger , cleaner and more refined perform- cnco has not been teen on the local stage this seabon than that offered by the Frawley com pany In "Sue. " There Is a special charm about Bret Hartc hlb literary style , his abounding atmosphere of the great west , his familiar t > pes of chai- acter , which he varies to suit the occasion , but from which he never appreciably de parts. Who can depict ho well as ho the stoical , gentlemanly gambler , tfte true-blue parson , the blustering Jadge of the Starbottlo kind , the rough but honest husband , the Ig- icrantly eiring wife , the unctuously hjpo- crltlcal father , the chivalrous and shaip- shootlng sheriff' They are all In "Sue , " and more beside , and thete is abundance of that elusive ejuallty technically known as ' "oeart Interest , " first rate cumulative effects and a coherence of construction which stamps tills play as ono of the best of recent writings of lib kind. Mr. Hareo has the help of a skilled playwright In fitting hjs storj for stage uses and to Mr. Pemberton Is doubtless due much of the excellence of the dramatic version ; but the pungent Harte flavor , the creation of no dramatist , pernieateb the whole to the de- ll&.it ot all admireav , of theLraphlc chroni cler of ' 49. "Sue" la the story of a girl who came up as a flower amid the most sordid surround ings. Her mother , recently dead , and Her father , who survives , were of a type of Intel lectual anel moral development like that of Georgia "crackers. " She Is bidden to marry a rough , uncouth recluse who lives In bar barous solitude and she consents to escape her father's violence. After tluc'o yearn of such a union her starved heart Is made to know its first budding emotion of love , by the contemplation of an escaped murdering circus rider , a cpeclous and planslblo Fcoun- drcl , all spangls and glitter and beautifully developed limbs , whom she shelters horn the law's pursuit end with wl.om the starts to fly , after having , with Instinctive dupllcltj , tricked the sheriff to his undoing. From this lust fatal step , however , filio Is saved by the parson , who shelters her In his own homo nest and through whcse pious efforts reconcil iation , forgiveness and connubial biles arc brought about. It sounds not much ki M > bare n > n outline , which , though even the skeleton reveals Its Hnrto origin , wants the charm of atmosphere and dialogue and by play which vivifies the acted play Sue's in- noccnco of soul In the earlier action , the sud den pxruudlng of her tiatiiro under the In- fluenco of the stress of passion , tier artful and adorable coimetry with the sheriff , the piteous gesture of Ira when he caretses lior discarded flowers at the well curb and the therlff's ncrflng h'msolf ' to foigct his wounds and to follow the call of fluty these and min > more are points which no brlc'f descrip tion can compass. It Is to be regretted that "Sue" Is not to bo teen hero again , for , as presented by the Frawley company , It affords one of the * treats of the theatrical season. Out of a cost which de'servcs general com mendation Miss Bates , Mr Worthing. Mr. Enos and Mr. Pury must be chosen for spec ial pralso. fgt because tliny did what they had to do better than th ether , but simply because ) , having greater opportunities , they improved them so well that it uuuld be dllll- eult to find serious fault. Mr. Frawloy , with the modesty charaeteiUtlc of him , roiitcnted himself with the compaittlvely unimportant ( ole of the acrobat , a line of work somewhat different from the v/ooden Indian Etyle which I'o hen effected of late ; and the remainder of the company , all In aubordlnate parts did ejulto acceptably what was requlreel of them This afternewn the Frawley comjmny will appeal1 In "Christopher , Jr , " the play In which John Drew made cue of his greatest successes ; and the engagement c'lot > es to night with a performance , the flrft In Omaha , of "An International Match. " which made a pronounced tilt when Daly's company pro duced It last > ear.

Selling standard values under price and making it up in other things is only one of the tricks of trade. Another is mis representation. Another is white lies , There are no cheats at The Nebraska ; no disposition to cheat. We set our face sternly against anything but the good old way. We have scrupulous notions of Integrity.
