.AMUSEMENTS.
Last evening at the Flrat Congregational
church tte DertMck club gave a public re
cital In tbo presence of an audience more
notable for quality than quantity. The pro
gram was arrange ) ! ' by Mrs. Arthur Smith
and the numbers were selected from those
already presented at the regular meetings
of the club. It was manifestly Impossible
to give in one evening a comprehensive
representation of the varieties of music pre
sented during En entilre season or to do Jus
tice to the many talented members of the
club , who have , by their generoun cooperation
tion , made each alternate Tuesday evening ,
for the past seven months , Interesting an'J
Instructive. Thcro were mtoy capable sing
ers and players who would have been quite
aa acceptable and were as deserving as
thosa actually upcii the- program , but one
evening and ono concert could not afford
en cpportt-nlty for all.
The work of the Dcrthlck club is largely
educational in character and 'Its ' primary
object is to glvo to the listener an ii-jlght
Into the real poetical significance of works
of musical art. It endeavors to demonstrate
that mu&Ic is a language which cno mMd
may speak to another and with which , one
heart may awaken He own emotions In kin
dred hearts. Its performances consist of se
lections from the works of the great mas
ters aud analyses descriptive of their mean-
Ing. iN'o one can attend these meetings and
listen to ( nilse-s anj musical selections
without obtaining a wilor outlook Into the
realm of musical art , aiid , If he has a re
ally musical temperament , without coming
Into closer relationship with the great heart
of the world which throbs In the rhythms
of mt'slc.
Last evening the analyses were * read by
Miss Klmball sr.d ' .Messrs. Young and Chase.
The program was well rendered and gen
erously applauded. It nas as follows :
Prelude , opua 28 , No. 15 , In D flat , by
Chsr-ln , Mr. ( Martin Oahn ; "Ah ! My Son"
( The Prophet ) , by .Myerbeer , Miss Bo-wen ;
"Norwegian Brlial Proiesslon , " by Grieg ,
Mr. Race ; "Tho Lstus IFlower" and "The
Spring 'Night , " by iSchunuro. 'Miss ' Knuntze ;
"Ilunilan Airs , " by Wlenlawskl , Mr. Charles
Hlpglns ; "Deathless Was -I" C-legfrlcd ) , by
Wagner , Mr. Homer 'Mcofe ; "Danse Maca
bre , " by Saint Saens , " MUs Holtorf and Mrs.
Ilace ; "Nobll Sfeiio'r ! ' " by Meyerbeer , Miss
Palmer.
The- accompaniments were played by Jllssc.n
Oottcu , 'Mire ' Van Kuran and iMlss Hlggins.
Beginning tonight and ending with on
afternoon and evening performace tomor
row Clay Clement will play a short en
gagement at Boyd's , presenting his great
success of former seasons , "Tho New Do
minion. " Mr. Clement has been seen In
Omaha a number of times in the last three
years , but the lapse of time has not
dimmed the luster of hid brilliant imperson
ation of Baron Hohcn&tauffcn , nor dimin
ished popular Interest In one of the most
delightful plays to bo seen at present on
the stage. Many of the theatergoers of
Omaha have already enjoyed this artistic
treat ; It Is safe to say that these will re
peat the pleasure , so far no possible. Those
who have not yet made acquaintance with
the botanizing bjron are advised not to
miss this opportunity of gaining a friend
who will keep his place In their hearts for
a long time.
Mr. Clement is supported by the same
company which attended him on the occa
sion of his laat visit here an announcement
which is equivalent to a prediction of fault
less work. Miss Karra Kenwyn ( Mrs.
Clement ) still plays the part ot Josephine
Dulany , Mr. Frank E. Alken that of the old
southerner and Mr. Jeffrey D. Williams re
peats his admirable Interpretation of the
character ot Marshall Bonor.

Vprll 23. To the Citizen * of Oinnhn : There
ins never bcnn n period In the history of

lultn.wl . to th people of the United States

ul cf enthusiasm this summ r and lve
ent to It upon all occasions. Each resident
hould begin to plan to decorate his resl-
I ( cc and place , of business during the

iCRtlon I would suggest that we- could not
nore beautifully decorate our city and at

C. H. Terry , who travels for a large south

yesterday. He says that the Indications are
that there will be a tremendous exodus to
the ? north from all tbe large cities of the
south as soon as the.- hot weather fict In and
that the exposition will undoubtedly attract
a largo 1 proportion of the travelers. Serious
fears of another big epidemic of yellow fever
arc causing an unusual number ot people
to make plans for northern trips during the
hoi weather. He oays that while the facts
are largely suppressed it Is well known that
there has ben more or less yellow fever
In the south all winter and that the people
an awttlng for the hot weather with general
anxiety. : The conditions fiave never been
more alarming am ] everyone who can con
veniently arrange to do so Is comlnj north

A delegation of the retail grocers of the
Ity , headed by George Munro , appeared be-
ore the city council yesterday afternoon to
lemand that tbo individuals who are en
gaged In the occupation of peddling oil
hrough the city should be compelled to take
out a license. The grocers allege that the
peddlers , who do riot have to pay rent and
axe.3 , come into unjuat competition with the
egular dealers. Since all other peddlers are
compelled to pay1 a license fee , the grocers
contend that it is ao more than Just that
ho retailers ahould be protected in this In
stance. The matter was taken under ad-
ifement.

outages of the Initiative and referendum

a tame question in regard to the sufficiency
of the petition it was laid over until the
opinion of the city attorney could be se
cured.

PICKPOCKKTS AXUPOLIOCMEX.
Combination Iletvrocn Which En- 4
Klncer Clark I.oxen IIU PO NCNMOIIII.
However war may affect other lines ot
justness It seems to be operating as /stimu /
lant to pickpockets and thieves. At least
that Is a conclusion forced upon Thomas S ,
Clark , a bridge engineer of the Union Pa-
clflc residing at 2020 Webster street , who , If
lie had a watch , would try to compute how
long It would take the crooks to carry off the
entire pollco force.
Mr. Clark went out to lunch yesterday at
noon and was attracted by a gang of Idlern
watching fake war bulletins In front of the
yellow poster establishment on lower Farnam
street. Ho looked at his watch and noticed
that he had a few minutes to spare , even for
such profitless amusement. Not for a mo
ment did he. scent
danger , for there on one
Bide ot him was a huge policeman and on
the other a police sergeant busily engaged
keeping a narrow piissageway open and
gulping down tbo manufactured news pcuted
the window. Just then there flashed thi
sensational bulletin :
MADRID It Is Just rumored that the
crown Jewels ' tit * * i ; been stolen by plckpock
ets oft the very person of the queen retrent
The rumor , however , Is denied.
That rappc d the climax. Mr. Clark thought
his tlrao must be up , but reaching for his
watch he discovered the/time / bad flown. Not 19
only was the watch gone , but also the guard
and a valuable jeweled fraternity-pin which
had been securely fastened. Hut the two
specimens of Omaha's pollco force remained
within reaching distance.
Mr. Clark told hla' troubles to the police
man. "Is that BO , " aiked the officer. "Well
how can It be ? Pickpockets wouldn't dare
operate BO close to'tis. "
Mr. Clark , however , eoon convinced the
bluecoats that ho had been robbed under their
very eyes.
"Well , don't say a worj about It , " he was
cautioned. "Just keep perfectly quiet , at
least for a few days. We will report U to
the station and perhaps tbe thief may be
caught. "
That was all the consolation Mr. Clark
could get , and In the Interval he Is mournlnt
lc a ot hto timepiece , both on account o
value and especially on account ot lt
associations.

Say Mr. Slrniigerontownl Do you know tlmt wo are
operating a shoe store here where yon can buy a regu
lar four dollar shoe for three dollars or a regular § 3. CO
shoe for two dollars and a half ? Well , we are. Wo
Bell shoes at cut prices hero. We sell genuine Good
year welt shoes in all shapes and sixes and in sev
eral different kinds of leather
for two dollars and a
half. If you know anything about shoes you may possibly -
sibly doubt that , but we have a way of convincing
doubters and that is by selling them the shoes. Ah ! but
you Siiy I've seen Goodyear welt shoes advertised lots of
times for less money than that. Yes but not our
kind. Our kind are made up especially for us ,
made from selected calf , made by one of the best shoo
factories in this country and made so as to give more
wear than smy lioe ever sold for the same price or half
a dollar more outside of here. This shoe store of ours
is diirercnt from any shoe store you ever traded with
because while it is here to make money the main ob
ject is to accommodate people who buy their hats , BOX ,
Bhirts , suits and other wearables here. Come in and
be accommodated. It will introduce you to a first
class store.
