THE OMAHA DAILY" BEE : S&NDAY , MAttCH 20 , 1808. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * AMUSEMENTS. Again the Crclghton theater lias out- itrlppcd Its loal : rival In popularity and bag nrcmod to enjoy a very profitable week. Neither of the attractions offered at Doyd's nan of a kind to draw cither the bcit or the Urgent patronage , and theater-goers who missed both "The ( lay Mntlneo dirt" and "The Cherry Pickers" need not feel that there la no marc iwectncts In life for them , The Woodward people , on the contrary , at the Crclghton , have been giving by long obis the host performance , not only of the week , hut of their Beaten thus far , The coming of Mo nr . Unos mid Dlakc- tnoro and tin assumption by the former of the reliifi of stage management , haa wcrKcd R really surprising change. That there wns K od material In thu company no onu who ban followed Its "oil ; , hns been disposed to drny , but prior to the Infusion of this new blood Into Its veins , It seemed to have reached the highest point of excellence whlcn 4t nos pornlblo for ll own unaided efforts to attain. Many of the reforms have been fcuch as the trained obsm'er can moit read ily perceive , but there Is a smoothness and finish , a toning do.vn and adjustment of forcts which only thu mc t efficient direc tion could have brought about , and \vhlcd must 1) ) apparent to all. Quito aside from these evidences of a firm and competent guiding hand , the addition teeny ony company of two such excellent u-lore , considered simply ag actors , could not fall t' strengthen that company materially. Mr. ] ; lckeniL.ri ! has had h'n opportunity In "Tho I iiHlgn" ci d has Improved U admirably , making ultliout doubt the prcatcfit Indi vidual lilt of the production. It Is said that he linn never played such a I/art bu- foie and that he has announced his deter mination icver to do so again , being , as hr Bays , a comedian , and having some regard ( or the strain on his nerves anil senslbllltlra. As n matter of fact , he plays the rough nnd warm-hearted old coxswain so thor- orcughly well and draws sympathetic tears to so many unaccuHtomed ejes , th.it ho has disclosed abllltlcti which he himself did not know lie possessed , and which may lead him to reconsider his expressed inten tion to confine himself strictly to fun- mi'.klng hereafter. Ao to Mr. Knori , ho had not much to d : Jn "The Ensign , " but did that little well like the tiuc artist be Is. His chance n.111 ccme this week when ho will play Ulck Van liiiuron In "Tho Charity Hall , " a strong I > ai t which be should do as well as any nan living and that Is saying a gooJ deal. deal.No No ono did badly Iti these performances ; eomo better than others us a matter ol course , but all well In the measure of their opportunities. Moit of the me.nbers of the company have already been commended In these columns for their work In this play , An extra word of piulse , however , Is tin- < | tirstlnjby ! deserved by that very conscien tious actor , Mr. Davis , for h's ' llfe-llkc makeup as Secretary Welles. If the produc tion of "The Charity llall , " which will oc cupy the stage at thp Crcighton during the "whole " of thlE week , Is as meritorious ee. that of "The Knslgji" and theic Is no rcu- eon to doubt that It will be even better II will furnish entertainment which no earn est amusement seeker can afford to overlook , DeWolf Hopper Is widely knonn among hi ; friends as a incut vcracloun man and any utterance from him regarding himself 01 Ji'a ' plana U accepted without unnccerflarj rcsonatbns , as embracing all that Is msslblt to bo known on that subject. Wherefore , his lightest word touching his domestic re lations la anxiously awaited and cagcrl ) lieard In view oforlouo peraUtent rumors of Infelicity In the fa.-ully circle. In a recent letter the big and Joyous com edian says of this very matter : "There has been a great how-de-do over the fact thai my wife , Edna Wallace Hopper , and I are rcparatcdi. I have been accused of making the tour as uncomfortable as I pors'.lily could for her , and aho has been charged with making thlnga generally red-hot foi me. As a matter of calm and collected fact , thcro has been no friction of any kind. We have simply come to the conclusion that we made a mlstakn when we married each other , end wo are now leading our lives Independ ently of each other. " This should settle It beyond pcradvcnture , Mr. Hopper goes on to unfold his professional plans for the Immediate future. The In genuous Introduction of Miss Oergen's name , quite at the other end of the letter from Mrs. Hopper's , will be observed. Mr. Hop per says : "I shall certainly appear In London next ecason. My Idea U to go to London and open as the eccentric and pusillanimous hereof of 'El Copltan' and then , sometime within the next fortnight , to give a special matl- nco with a supporting company of English actors and actresses , of Sydney Rosenfleld'a parody on 'Lo Demi-Monde , ' called 'The Crust of the Froth of the Fringe of Society.1 In this last named piece I have an oppor tunity to play a 'straight' part In a 'straight' ' Way , wearing a dress suit and my plain , ordinary , evcry-day face. U would bo not at all unpleasant for me If I could flnd a Cow English people who might hold the opin ion that I can act as well es antic. Al though Miss Nella Dergen Is under contraci to appear now In 'The Bride Elect , ' and next ccaaon with me In 'The Charlatan , ' I am desirous of securing her services for 'El Capltan' In London. Mr , Sousa has said thai dhere Is only one soprano who can sing bis music , and that her name Is Nella Dergen , She has the high , powerful , clear voice thai rings out as It should In the martial atralni of Souea's compositions. " The nuisances of the theater are manlfolt nd In moat oaaee peculiar to that Instltu tlon. Asldo from the afllictlon occasioned t < Whole audiences by bad plays and lncompe < tent performers , which IB one kind of nul ancc , apparently Inevitable , there U a vas deal of woe unnecessarily heaped upon par of audiences by other fragments of thoeami In "man's Inhumanity to man. " Of thro'i Individual nuisances the big hat , now hap pily obsolescent , Is one ; the man who goei out between acts la another ; the man win knows It all and rehearses It aloud to ( ill companion during tbo play Is a close thlnl nd the people who habitually come late an others. All these pests have been period Ically castigated by a long Buffering1 preei from time Immemorial. So has that ver : Ill-bred and annoying fashion , prevalent Ii Otnaha as elsewhere , of rucblug out o the theater Juet before the performance Ii over. This last named evil goes on appar ntly unchecked , end the finale of many i pretty play la spoiled by the cntsbebavlo of men and women who cannot wait untl the curtain U rung down to put on thcl fwraps and start up the oUles. Just wlr they flnd It expedient to do this la not alto Kether clear. Having Btarted out for at evening's amusement and having alrcad ; pent from two to three hours In the play bouse , their tlmo cannot be eo valuable t them tho.t they must save five minutes of I t the expense of good breeding and thel neighbors' rlfidts.

"Our Flat , " the farcical comedy now be ing presented with great succeas by Cook's Comedians , which comes to the Boyd on next Friday and Saturday , with a Saturday mat inee , Is uald to be c c of the greatest laughIng - Ing hits of modern times. "Our Flat" Is a bright sparkling farce , which was well re ceived on Its 11 ret production In England several years ago , drew large houses at Daniel Frohmau's Lyceum theater , New Vork , and the phenomenal record of "SO consecutive performances at tlio Strand theater , London , uncle It was played with remarkable success. The cost , which will In terpret the bright lines anl portray the funny characters of "Our Flat , " Is said to be a large nnd capable one , cud Is headed by Mies Hachael Ford , the diarmlng young actress whom the critics have signaled as the rival In comeliness of face and form to such famoun stage beauties as Maxluo Elliott and Mary Mannerlng. The Hungarian Hoys' band , which Is to play an engagement of four nlg.h.ts and a matinee at Hovel's , beginning tonight , seems to have made an Immense hit In San Fran cisco , Salt Lake and Denver , havln ? re cently appeared In all of these cities. 01 the opening concert In Denver the Tlmc Fa > s ; "The unexpected happened at th ( Broadway la.st evening. An entertainment from which little was looked for ami mud : received was offered the audience , and the Hungarian Hoja' band created a veritable furore. When , to the Inspiring strains ol 'The Star Spangled Uanner , ' the curtain rose on the little immlclans , revealing them In tholr trim and natty red Hussar cos tumes , aid when they sprang to their feel at 'salute' to the 'kapellmeister , ' they won the hearts of the audience at once , and pool Indeed would have been the musical progran : had they failed to keep up the good Impres sion. Uut the program was eplendldlj selrcted and the little players gave It with thorough munlcal understanding. They had been admirably trained , and , In addition show much natural musical ability. There Is little sign of weakness In any part ol the band .ind two of the Sousa 'marches wert given with as much swing and vigor as tin band of the composer himself has beer wont to play them. Indeed the 'El Capltan march , which was given a an encore nunv her , was received with quite as much en- thuslasm as when theSousa band played II here. * An elaborate revival of "The Charity Dall' will bo made at the two performances at the Crelghton today , and that excellent plnj will be the bill throughout the week.

M. Palmer. CHICAGO , March IS. The grand opera season la piogresslng with greater success than has been attained by any other In this city during the last several years. The people ple of Chicago seem to bo fully allvo to the Importance of the opportunity presented dur ing these two weeks and for nearly every performance the vast auditorium la thronged with Interested listeners. Mr. Damrosch has succeeded In forming a company which maybe bo said to bo without any weak points. Of the great artists , he counts Mme. Nordlca and Mme. Melba OB first , but clote behind them may bo reckoned the baritones , Cam- panarl and Blspham , the tenor , Kraus , and the great bafs , Emll Fischer. The first per formance which It was my good fortune to hear was tha * of Tannhauser on Tuesday evening. It marked the first appearance In this city of Kraus In the title role and , sev eral critics to the contrary notwithstanding , It la my humble opinion that he achieved a great success. He has a fine stage presence and a powerful , ringing voice which takes easily the highest notes In the part. His muilcal schooling Is decidedly German , but for all that he sings In tune. He Is a strong actor and has a clearly defined Idea of the traditions of the part. Gadskl sang the part of Kllzabeth , and Barna , an American , the part of Venus. Great Interest centered In the part of Wolfram , sung by Blspham. His make-up for the part was copied after an old Italian Ideal portrait of Jesus and his conception was continually suggestive of Major , whom 1 saw play the part of Jesus In the Passion Play at Ohcrammergau. As on Ideallazatlon this Is certainly very beau tiful , but In the working out It nas not particularly successful. Wednesday evening Ilozzlnl's comic opera , the "Barber of Seville" was produced , with Campanarl In the title role and Mme. Melba as Roslna. Campanarl scored a success of which any artist might well be proud , and was applauded almost as much as the prlma dcnna herself. Those who have heard Melba In other operas were surprised to notice her Increased ability as an actress , for In the character of Roslna she displayed rn ability cs a comedienne which was entirely unlooked - looked for. This opera Is of especial Inter est to the people of Omaha because Mme. Melba and the artists who appeared with her last Wednesday evening will all bo heard In Omaha during the first week In April. Thursday evqnlng "Die Walkure" was given , with Mme. Nordlca as Brunhlldc , and this performance may be considered as the triumph of the season so far. The great prlmn donna was nt her best In the part and gave It an Interpretation which even the critics who feel that their standing and reputation for knowledge of music , In the eyes of the public , depend upon their ability to discover flaws , were obliged to glvo un stinted praise. The 'work of Gadskl as Slrgllndc , Kraus as SIcgmund , and Blspbam as Wotan was as near faultless as ono may expect to hear. At the close of the first act T called upon Mme. Nordlca In her dressing room and found her very complacently seated before a small table eating a half dozen blue points on the half-shell. A great deal has been said about singers doing their best work with an empty stomach , but Mme. Nordica does not see It exactly that way. Speaking of the role of Brunhllde In "Die Walkure , " she said : "When I was at Beyrouth , singing Klsa , I went through the three Brunhtldes In 'Die Walkure , ' 'Sleg- frld' and 'Gotterdammerung' with airae. Wag ner , and my Interpretation Is what she gave me. I have every reason to believe that It Is the one conceived by the com poser himself. Mme. Wagner made a sharp distinction between the three characters , from the standpoint of age and experience. Brunhllde In 'Die Walkure' Is nhvaja ad dressed by Wotan as 'child , ' and It Is Mme. Wagner's Idea that she should be a girl and girlish In her actions. She is by no means such an amazcn as many artistes have repre sented her. Neither Is she lacking ID hu manity , although supposed to' be a sort of supernatural being. Her sympathy for Sleg- mund Is real and earnest , although disin terested. " I asked Mme. Nordlca If she had anything to say to the people out by the Missouri river. She quickly responded : "Yea , in deed , everything. Tell them I want to come out there again as soon as ever I can , and have by no means forgotten the cordial reception which they have always given me. " At the close of her season with Tllr. Damrosch , Mme. Nordlca goes to London , where she will play Brunhlldo In the three works mentioned , to the ISIegmund and Slg- frlcd of Jean de Rcszke. It Is a matter of just pride that Mme. Nordlca has been able to establish herself as one of the few ex ponents of these roles. She Is the only American who has ever sung them. I have been greatly Interested 'in studying Walter Damrosch as a conductor. It was ray good fortune to hear the first perform ance of opera which he ever conducted In Chicago. The readers of The Bee will doubt less remember that In the spring of 1SS5 Leopold Damrosch , Walter's father , died sud denly. Just as the first season of German opera In New York came to a close. The company was bookeJ for a tour , and thcro nas no one to direct the performances ex cepting , Walter , whoso only experience had been such as he had been able to gain by assisting his father. With a fortitude de cidedly heroic , he submerged his grief In the exigency of the hour , took up the baton where his father had laid It down and -went out with the company to glvo a series of operatic performances In a half dozen of the loading cities. "Tannhauser" was the first opera that be produced In Chicago , anilthe company was so late In arriving that the curtain did not go up until after 10 o'clock. The artists appeared In whatever costumes were available , and at least a half dozer operas and as many countries were repre- oented by the minstrel knights. The per formance did not end until long after 1 o'clock , but the audience stajcil It out and enjoyed It. I wondered Tuesday evening \\hen Mr. Damrcsch took his place at the conductor's desk If he recalled that first performance of "Tannhauser" at the Co lumbia theater. The people of Omaha will remember that the first ensemble rehearsal of Mr. Dam- rosch'a opera , "The Scarlet Letter , " was held at Boyd'd theater. During the course o ( c nvercatlon with him , a day or two ago , I asked him U he had any Intention of writIng - Ing another opera , and was much pleased to discover that ho not on'.y tun such an In- tntlon , but has already begun on Its con summation. I asked him If ho propose ] to add to bis opera company an English singIng - Ing contingent , and he told me that such had been his Intention , but that he had been greatly hampered la Its execution because of the difficulty of finding English singing tenora who possessed voices of sufficient power , or dramatic ability. There are In his company at the present time a number of artists of the first rank who can sing In English successfully , but thcro Is no tenor vtho can do EO. WeCncfiday movnlng I called upon Wil liam L. Tomllns , conductor of the Apollo club , and was very much surprised to learn that the much-talked-of visit of that or ganization to Omaha during the exposition U a dremm hardly to be realized. Up to date the proposition ba * not even been ub- i ' ' f mltted to the club , although there baa been a little talk about It among the ofO > cers. Unless some proposition different from any eo far considered Id submitted by the exposition musical department , It U quite unlikely that the Apollo club will bo heard In Omaha. t f. During the last few rlaye I have seen much of Mr. Sherwood , the pianist , and Wednesday evening we , heard "Die Walkure" together. He Is an enthusiastic Wagncrlart and has very little patience with those people who arc unable to cpjoy'tho great Bcjreuth composer's music. I askcil , him why be supposed It was that' some people could listen to the music dramas without being affected by them. HIs-mplanatlon was that "they must bo stuffed with sawdust ; " figu ratively true , If not particularly compli mentary. Next week Mr. Sherwood start * on an extended concert tour which will In clude New York and Boston. Omaha seems to be very well represented at the opera end It was my good fortune to meet today Mrs. and Miss Hoagtand and Mr. and Mrs. Cudahy. They were all at the opera last evening and seemed as enlhusl- astlc over It as everybody else. Mrs. Hoag- lacid acid her daughter will remain for the next week and then return to Omaha , Yesterday I saw Mr. Ellis , manager with Mr. Damrosch of the opera company and solo manager of the company which will HHko the wcttcrn tour with Mme. Melba. Ho asked mo numerous questions about the music of the exposition and the capacity of the theaters In O.r.aha. Owing to the great expense of his company , bo Is anxious to glvo the promised performance of "The Bar ber of Seville" In the largest available place , and I suggested to htm the Exposition audi torium , should It bo ready In time. H cer tainly would not bo a bad Idea to have the auditorium opened by a company at the head of which would bo Mme. Melba At the present writing no conclusion has been reached regarding the matter. The second week of the opera season will bo as Interesting as the first. Monday evenIng - Ing "Tho Huguenots , " by Myerbeer , will be given with Mmo. Melba , Mme. Nordlca , Blspham , Campanarl and Ibos In the leading parts. Tuesday evening "Lohengrin" with Gadskl , Kraus and Bispham. Wednesday evening "Faust , " with Melba. Thursday " ' " with Gadskl , evening "Dlo Mo'stersinger , Fischer end Kraus. Friday evening a galJ performance with "Barber of Seville" and the mad scene from "Lucia" sung by Melba , Saturday afternoon "Tannhauaer. " HOMER MOORE. Miiilciil XotcK. ' Miss Valencia Rooney , for some time a member of the choir of St. Peter's church Omaha , Is a member of the Damrosch Opem company and hits been singing small par-to In "Tannhauser , " "Die Mclstcrslnger" and other works. She will leave the company al the close of Its Chicago engagement and re turn to Omaha. ACCIDK.NT THAT IIUOUOIIT FAME. The Wny the MaUliiff of Shot Wn Din- covprvil , All dreams do not go by contraries. II they did Plumber Watts of Bristol , Eng land , In all probability would have remained a humble plumber to the end of his days , But Watts dreamed ) a dream and It broughl him fame and fortune. One afternoon , sc the story runs In the Chicago Post , Watts was engaged In repairing the roof of s Bristol church. In fome manner he lest hU tooting and was slowly slipping down the smooth slatca when ho got a new purchaw and thus raved his bones , If not his life This mlohap worried Watts and he spenl the remainder of the .day speculating or what might have happened had he gone ever the edge of the roof and dropped tc the hard turf below. Still vexed with these unpleasant fancies he fell afleep and then In dreams he seveml times repeated his ex perience of the afternoon , but with several additional features. One of these was thai whllo he' was sliding down the roof his ladle of melted lead slipped out of his hand an < ] disappeared over .the edge. When still dreaming he went In.Rearch of his lead , ex pecting to find It In one-piece , he was sur- prlaed to notice the "ground was covered wltli hundreds of tiny globules , the metal evi dently having been so divided la falling , When Watts wakened this Incident of hie dream would not leave him. Ho did no ) for a moment suppose lead would act In such an unusual manner , 'but the dream seemed so plausible that ho was persuaded to enacl It In reality. So , with his ladle , he went tc the roof of the same church and let the melted lead slldo from the ridge. Then he hastened to the ground and his astonishment knew no bounds when he found everything as It had appeared In his dream. The ground was covered with tiny globules' bright 'metal. Watts was sharp enough to realize what he had discovered and was not slow tc make fine shot and bo realized a fortune ol 10,000 out of his dream. Thus It happened that the first shot towci was a church. Drjp cbot Is made In thi same way today tbat Watts employed aftei his first experiment. . The melted lead Ii taken to the top of a high tower built fo ; the purpose. It Is then poured through ( elevo and In falling through the air It be comes broken Into small globules. At thi bottom of the tower Is a pool of cold wate Into which the shot falls. From ICiere It I taken and placed In revolving drums , where by one shot rubblug- against others , It be comes round and smooth. Several device , have been used to do away with the tower One of these Is a large upright tuba througl whlcti , from the bottcin. Is forced a draugh of cold air. This allows of a much ehortc fall than where the old-stylo tower Is used Another method Is to pour the lead througl a slcvo and allow It to ( all through glycerine The density of this liquid gives the same re slstanco and docs the same In rounding am separating the shot as does a much greate column of air. The varying sizes of dro | shot are made by sieves of different meshe as well as by the distance the lead Is al lowed to fall. Drop shot forms a consider able feature ct lead working and may be con sldcrcd ono of the most practical and con crete things that ovcc came out of the mist ; realms of dreamland. In'passing It may b < noticed that the Inventor of lead pipe Rob ert Seydcll of Milton , Pa. discovered thi process in a somewhat accidental way. Hti method was very crude , but It served others not overscrupulous , to begin the develop ment of the * present lead pipe Industry. Sey , dell was born In 1S09 and died In 1817 , hav Ing during his comparatively short life givet many proofs of exceptional mechanlca genius , but reaping no marked profit fron bis skill.

WAIl TAL1C AXD 11USIXI2SS. Mr. Itoliernon iFniltt to See How Trnilo Will lie Hurt. "W , H. Hoberson local manager of R. G. Dun & Co. for the district of Nebraska , speaking of ttade conditions , says : "Perhaps the most remarkable fuel In con nection , v\lth commerce Kenernlly Is the ap parent indifference , of tradennd especial y of the money market , In the face of possible war with Spain. Save comparatively slight fluctuation * In Wall street , authorities agree that neither peace nor war reports have changed the onward current of business. Locally the chief apprehension 19 the effect which war - ould have upon the attendance nt the exposition. ( Personally I cannot see that this would be material. The bulk of the attendance will be gathered from the populous and ) wealthy Interior , Included within a radius of 500 miles. This section will be so far removed from all possible dan ger that we shall know very little about the contest outside of the Information ob tained from the .papers. It Is not likely that any very considerable number of troops will be required from among the citizens , but if every state In the trnnsmlsslsslppl region should contribute Its probable quota to the war establishment there would yet remain many millions from which to draw a very large attendance nt the exposition. . Aside from foreign exhibits and foreign visitors war with Spain wou'.d not , In my opinion , very seriously Interfere with the exposition program. On the other hand. It would stlm- ulato business activity In this Immediate country , and ! when peop'e are making money there are alwaya members of each family , who can take time for pleasure trip0. "The lumbermen's convention held during thp week was one of the most enthusiastic nnd Interesting commercial events of the season , inude so largely by the very marked Improvement In business In the lunibe.1 "Tho streets txf Omaha even on these dull , damp ! days nre crowded iwlth more people than I have ever eoen since coming to Omaha and It Is stated that the streets have a more metropolitan appearance now than they Tiad In boom days. I nm naHsno.1 that not less than 10,000 permanent residents have been nddekl to the population of the city since last fall , _ and still the people como "Mr. M. V. Morse of the Omnha Street Railway company Is my authority for the statement that Ills corporation will add al least tlCO.OOO to Us permanent property In vestment In this city In anticipation of the business of the exposition. I think It proper to eay In thl connection that the Omaha Street Ral'way company has kept Itsell fully abreast with the requirements of the city In splto c-f all the discouragements ol the last few years. . "Information from nil parts of the state of Nebraska Is all to the same effect. Farm mark Is In progress , the soil was never In better condition and the outlook for crops could not be better. Two carloads of beet seed recently passed through the city. Ihe Oxnards have receded from their Hawaiian gminmtv proposition and the acreage o. snigar beet * will therefore be equal tel no greater than Jast year. Up to elate nonei ot the schemes for additional sugar factories have materialized , but I hone during the exposition capitalists will be able o sec position two important year fuels : llrst. that .this . is the nitur.ll fui-'ar beet center of America and second , that no soil In the world Is better adapted to the Industry than that of Ne braska.

One man fatally shot nnd nnotner man nnd woman Injured Is the result of an attempt to rob a resort here owned by Frank Hunter. About 2 o'clock this morning two strangers drove to the place nnd forced an entrance. They were met at the iloor by Mrs. Hunter , who Immediately commenced shooting , putting three shots Into one of them ami slightly wounding the other. The men returned the tire , one bullet striking Mrs. Hunter In the head nnd causing n severe wound. Tno less Injured of the men then carried his wounded companion to the buggy and drove away.

The following negro convicts were killed : Alexander Shelton , Gil Lawhoin , Georgn L. Jones , Henry Johnson , Will Scott and Tom Oliver. Tha men were l.GQO feet from the surface repairing the air ma chinery. The cxp'.oslon Is a mystery. It was caused either bv firedamp or powder. Since the explosion firedamp Is heavy and men are unable to reach the dead. It Is thought , however , that the corpses will finally be reached this evening. StooUiiu-ii Want to UmHi Pnrk.
