§ AMUSEMENTS. |
With last nlRlit the pngnKPmont of Miss
Jcnnlo Kcnnnrk with the Woodward stock
company closed and she will return * o Il.il-
tlmoro to rcsiimn her former place In a
Block company there. From her very drat
nppcaranco in the company she made a fav
orable Impression and as week after week
went by has steadily nrown In tlio esteem
of the patrons of the house. As aa nctrnsu
rho IH n Hard worker , painstaking and am
bitious. With natural talents of no mean
OcKrco , endowed with a gracious personality
nnd ft good presence , In conjunction with her
ncqulrcd nrt. she has contributed largely
lo many nn hour's enjoyment of the patrons )
of tlio house. During her stay she has cs-
snyed a great variety of roles and In none
lias she rnailo a failure , hut It would be dlfll-
cult to say In Just v/hat ono she scored
her greatest success. Marguerite In "I'aust"
Btnnds nut ns ono of her best characters.
In the portrayal of deep , Intense emotion
through the medium of action rather than
loud declamation she excels and in llio
last act ns Marguerite particularly she has
on admirable opportunity which she does not
overlook.
Off the stage with these who know her
Bho has won her way no less successfully.
The self-important air which so many actor
folk fissumo nnd which Is so extremely of
fensive Is nowhere in evidence and nothing
but kind words nnd well wishes will follow
her from these with whom she has been
nssoclated on nnd off the stage. Should the
tlmo over como In her professional career
she should return to Omaha she will find a
warm welcome aw.iltlng her.
The last wpek has been ono of the most
distressing ones to theater-goers of the
summer. It Is most ccrtalnPy n strong nt-
itractlon which could Induce nny ono not
nn enthusiast to forsake the effort to bo
comfortable to sit out n performance. In
pplto of such conditions none of the amuse
ment places have done badly and some
some have played to phenomenal business.
The great feature of the week was the
two days' visit of Buffalo Hill nnd his "Wild
West" aggregation. It Is doubtful whether
Omaha ever witnessed four such crowds nt
nny entertainment as gathered for these
performances. At both the day and evenIng -
Ing of the first day the ticket windows
wcro closed with people still clamoring to
buy. for the reason that the capacity of
the Inclosure was air sold. On tlio second
day the crowds wcro very little less. If
William F. Cody ever had nny doubt about
the warm place ho holds In the hearts of
Is'cbraskans It was dispelled by the recep
tion accorded him both nt the performance
of his "Wild West" nnd nt the exposition
grounds.
The Trocadero during the week presented
ono of the most expensive vaudeville bills
slnco Its opening and succeeded during the
week In furnishing amusement for fully
Its quota of people. The rage for vaude
ville may bo dying out , as critics have
long predicted It would nnd many have
nsserted It Is , but Omaha gives no evidence
of Its waning popularity. If waning It Is.
Whllo the pleasure-seeking people of the
old world turn to the play house for pure
love of pleasure , the ceaseless activity of
American llfo draws Its people there to
find n mirccaso for their cares and the
changing features of vaudeville are attrac
tive because for the time being nt least
they accomplish the purpose.
The reorganized Woodward Stock com
pany Is now busily engaged in the rehearsals
nnd preparations for the Initial appearance
on next Sunday In "Men nnd Women. " The
company has been greatly strengthened , re
taining all the old favorites , with the ex
ception of Miss KPimark , nnd her place Is
taken by Miss llertha Crelghtoii , who
comes with n record of a successful stage
career nnd Is no stranger In Omaha. In
nddltlon there arc several now people who
are capable of filling the places of the de
parting ones and in addition supplying
Homo deficiencies which have been marked
in the past. It Is the Intention to make
the Initial performance of the company a
memorable one. A strong play has been
selected and will bo fortltlcd by the secur
ing of much new and cpoclal scenery and
"Men and Women" should bo otio of the
most finished productions given In the
house slnco the advent of the stock com
pany. The now season will also bo signal
ized by the reappearance of the orchestra
under the direction of Franz Adelninnn.
Captain W. II. Kell nnd Lieutenant
Moore of the Twenty-second Infantry , who
hnvo arrived from Montauk Point , after
service in Cuba , brought a special message
of thanks for Miss Dorothy Morton , now
playing In light opera in this city. When
ijn St. Louis Bomo weeks ngo Miss Morton
joined the Daughters of the Confederacy
In making pajamas and housewives to bo
sent to the soldiers In Cuba , nnd upon
each artlclo furnished wllh her needle she
embroidered her Initials , "D. SI. " In a cor-
Jicr. Several of her New York friends were
< ln Teddy Roosevelt's Hough Riders and In
the distribution of the comforts from St.
I.oul3 these friends by chance drew "D.
M. " bandages nnd pajumns. Ono of
"Teddy's Terrors" whoso name need not
bo mentioned here , though It Is a good
name and one readily recognized , deputized
the regular ollleers , who were BOOH to leave
for that state , to thank Miss Morton for
lier rcmembrnnccs. In St. Louis , where
the message was to havp been delivered ,
they found that Miss Morton had left the
cltv for Omaha As It chanced , Omaha was
their objective point nlso , and the message
of tl-.anks was duly delivered.
AniloiliirfOirnlN.
During the present week , commencing
with matinee today , the Woodward Stock
company at the Crclghton will present for
the first time In this city Wllllnm Hn-
worth's beautiful four-net drama , called
"Fcrncllff. " This play tells n story of the
civil war , time of 1S01-C3. Although there
is no military \\ork In the piny , yet Its
plot nnd dialogue nra relative to that
period , and will be found Interesting nnd
full of dramatic action. The comedy Is
Btrong nnd the entire play Is well written
nnd will bo given n thorough production.
Mr. William Ilaworth , the nuthor , Is also
the author of that beautiful piny , "Tho Kn-
sign , " which made a very excellent Impres
sion when presented by the Woodward cou-
pany hero last .March.
The company which Is organized for the
regular season , which opens next Sunday
the lltli , Is now busy on tlio rehearsals o
David Uelasco's great play , "Men nnd
Women. " This play will bo given a ver >
elaborate production. Scenic artists have
been nt work three weeks on the specla
seta for this play ; costumes will bo pre
pared entirely now for'thls production , am
the entire company will bo seen in parts
best suited to their particular lines o
work.
The Trocadero for the current week , be
ginning with today's matinee and contlnu
Ing through the week with the usual mat
luces , offers nn extraordinary strong vnude
vlllo program , with many predominate
features. Ono principally notable Is th
especial engagement of the Angela sister
In their potpourri of eongs and iinlqu
descriptive vocnllsm. These clever sister
will be remembered by many from Hicl
impression created when the fashlonabl
vaudeville performances were Inaugurate !
nt the popular Trocndero in June last. Th
famous Nlllsson Grand Naval Ballet an
The Flight of the Butterflies , with the beau
Itlful ( scintillating effects , hovp been held
over for one more week. The remainder
of the splendid bill Is made up by the La
Page Sisters , prominent eastern change
artists , Introducing many artistic changes
with their singing and dancing specialty.
Almont nnd Uumont , Instrumental celebri
ties , are one of the Individual features of
the bill. U is said that this lady nnd gen
tleman dress their act with more taste than
nny performers upon the vaudeville stage.
Drawee , "Tho Modern Juggler , " Is a Jug
gler who knows both how to Interest nnd
fcow to amuse. Ho has a number of orig
inal tricks nnd he shows some of the best
work which has yet been done In his line.
Rlnoo Vinton , n promising descriptive vocal
ist , who has won laurels In the foremost
of .tho vaudeville houses , mckes her Initial
appearance In Omaha. Wllllnm Douglas
and Mnrglo Ford , neat nnd eccentric sing
ers and dancers , present their original
sketch. Mile. Adele , the lady with the
wonderful lingers and charming with her
shadowgrnphic pastimes , and Lozcllc , the
world's greatest ncrlallst , upon rings , lad
der nnd Hying 'trapeze ' , complete the bill.
The orchestral concerts In the garden will
remain In evidence for these who delight in
spending "An Hour In llohcmla. "
Tonight nnd all this week , the third of
Miss Morton's engagement at the Boyd ,
the bill will bo Ellbert nnd Sullivan's fn-
millnr though none the less entertaining
"Mikado. " It Is doubtful If any other light
opera has attained the popularity enjoyed
by the "Mikado" since Its production in
Ixindon a llttlo more than n dozen years
ngo. i Its music not only has been so widely
played until "Tho Flowers That Bloom in
the Spring" nnd ' " "
Ko Ko's "Tit Willow" song
are old friends nnd many of the wittj-
lymes and libretto by .Mr. Gilbert could
roporly apply for a position in some book
' familiar quotations.
Miss Dorothy Morton will be seen ns Yum
urn , surrounded by I'ltti Sing nnd Peep
o , her schoolmates , played respectively by
llsscs Marie Bell and Mabel Stephens.
Ilss Sylvester Cornish , who was out of the
ist of "Fra Dlavolo" last week , will have
ho part of Kntirlin , that amusing elderly
apuncso maiden \\hose front tooth and el-
ow "aro worth going miles to see. " Pooh
ah , whoso character was aimed by Mr.
llbert as a satire upon British political
ustoms , will be rendered by John Wllke.
Ir. Lodge Is to be
the Ko Ko and it can
o assured that ho will bo a grotesque nnd
musing ono. No comedian has visited
nialia for months and made the Individual
It that has this roly-poly little gentle-
inn. Ills methods are always clean nnd
erse play Is something ho knows naught
" bout , which is a mighty fine thing to say
the average comic opera funny man. Sir.
'Ill Steiifhens Is cast for Sllkado and Sir.
'ebb , whoso Lord Allcash was a feature
f last week's rendition of "Fra Dlavolo , "
my bo counted upon to give us a satisfactory
'ankl Pee , both as to 'appearance nnd vocal
fforts. George Cnllnhan Is on the bills to
lay Pish Tush nnd the third of the noble
ords. Nee Bon , will be In the hands of Sir.
nckson.
Tlio women of Omaha should not fall to
car Sirs. SI. E. ( Jrlfiith's lectures nt the
'oung SIcn's Christian Association hall
Wednesday and Friday at 3 p. m. Septcm-
cr 7 and n. Her stereoptlcon views are

At Ike Gulll's concert garden this week

Thr Mliluny.
Quite nn increase has been made in
ho number of places of entertainment on
ho East and West .Midway during the last
veek , ns well ns the milling of many new
icoplo and features , which Is gradually ele-
atlng the general moral tone of the great-
st aggregation and variety of shows on
ny midway yet known outside of the
Vorld's fair. The Sloorlsh village people
tiavo arranged for the coming week quite
number of changes.
"Islitnel , " the great magician , will ar-
Ive Monday under contract to appear at
he Harem in illusion No. 2. This , to
gether with the dancing girls and "Hag-
pard's She , " makes n strong combination
nnd will draw Immense crowds. The man-
ngement of the Sloorlsh concessions has
vlthln the last week changed the entire
rnnt to tlio Illusion palace known ns the
'Flying Lady. " The now front , built with
icavy fluted marble columns on the Corln-
hlnn style of architecture , will present n
inndsoino appearance , nnd will open this
vening with a continuous performance , ar
rangements having been perfected for ad-
lltional performeis. La Belle Snllkn , draw-
ng card nl the Harem , In her wonderful
Egyptian dances , has been transferred to
ho Streets of Cairo , nnd takes the part
of lending lady In the Streets theater.
A. Y. Pearson of the Ostrich farm ex-
iccts to open two now shows the fore part
of this week , one , the wonderful Lumlerrcs
novlng pictures , the great sensation of all
Europe , Imported direct from Paris. Also
what will prove to bo ono of the most
liopulnr of all Slldwrv attractions , the
'unions ' "Hula-Hula" dancing girls , together
with the Hnwnllnn Orchestra nnd Quintet
club direct from Honolulu.
Of nil the attractions at the exposition the
ostrich farm seems to bo the most popular ,
In fact , the attendance has gotten to bo so
enormous that a person can hardly get a
Idaco to stand inside the big enclosure.
This goes to prove that a really meritorious
show Is appreciated everywhere , even on the
.Midway. There are nearly 100 full grown
birds , nil standing about ten feet high , and
each bird wolghlng 300 pounds. They nre
now nil in full plume , nnd It is undoubt
edly 0110 of the
prettiest sights a person ever
saw. There nro also ten baby ostriches.
They attract ns much attention ns
the big ones. for very few people -
plo have ever tu-en baby os
triches. The lecturer inside gives all In
formation pertaining to ostrich farming
This lecture alone. Is worth the price of ad
mission. There is also a grand exhibit o
ostrich feathers , ostrich eggs , etc. On the
whole It Is something grand , beautiful am
Instructive , and it Is ono of the first places
every visitor to the exposition should see
Darkness nnd Dawn , or Heaven and Hell
continues to be the talk of the Slldwaj
nnd town. New nnd startling features have
been added to the Taferuo and the Cobare
de la Slort or Cafe of the Dead , features
that are weird , but
at the same time nmus-
Ing. The performance In the beautlfu
Grotto theater hns also been Improved , the
first dance has been substituted by a lovely
formed maiden posing under uo.OOO candle
power of light In magnificent costumes. A
weird feature Is promised a limited number
of friends in the near future. It U to be a
feast of the dead , to take place In the
Cafe of the Dead after the hour of mid
night and participated in by all the spooks
skeletons and ilovir * of hell. Klectrlc Illu
mlnatlon will be cut off and candles sub
itltutcd. All guests are promised a hair-
raising experience , one Ions to bp romcmil
bered. A very amusing Incident occurred
yesterday. An elderly gentleman from the
rural districts went through the enow nnd
after reaching the street noticed that he
had forgotten his umbrella. He approached
the ticket taker nnd , nsklng to pass In ,
said : "I forgot my umbrella ; left It ngln
that first windmill. " The wludmin re
ferred to was an electric fan.
Prof. Kverett Hairett , an Egyptologist of
Boston , has been stopping In the Streets
of Cairo for a few days. His visit to the
exposition Is mainly to study the effect of
American Influences upon the peculiarly
constructed Egyptians , lie Is nlso talking
the peculiar brogue with which the Kgypi
Hans speak English , n dialect which has
never been In print. The eminent gentle
man has long hoped for an opportunity
to corroborate some of his pet theories re-
gardlng the mentality of thp great race
which once inhabited the land of the Nile.
He sees In La Belle Atnenn. who dances
In the Egyptian theater , an almost perfect
type of that physically powerful race known
as the Kojt , a race which Is nt present nl-
most extinct.
It Is now quite the thing to "do , Trilby. "
Ever since this exhibition opened It hns
grown In popular favor Just as It has done
In all other cities. "Trilby parties" are
now the fad and each day and evening
they form Ir. groups of twenty or thltty
and visit this wonderful exhibition. It Is
no unusual thing for people to visit the
exhibition ten or twelve times with parties
of friends and "Trilby Templo" is fast
growing In favor as a meeting place.
"Trilby" has certainly caught the town.
ThoiO who have not seen It have a rare
treat in store , in fact "a feast fit for the
eyes of the gods. " It Is a great addition
to the many charming features of the ex
position.
The greatest attraction on West Midway
has always , slnco the opening of the exposi
tion , been Schlltz's Pavilion. The proprietor ,
an experienced business man and old resl-
I dent of Omaha , understands how to treat his
citDtomcrs In a way that they always come
back ngaln. Wo must glvo him credit for
having selected the best orchestra that
iioney could obtain. H consists of nothing
Hit fine musicians , and the reputation of
E. Blaufuss as director Is so well known
n Omaha that It don't need any further
mention. Everyone knows that wherever he
urnlshes music it is of the highest class ,
ind especially at Schlltz's. H has made the
'avlllon ' the resort of the haute vole of
Omaha.
Beautiful Carmen , as the fair Cuban
ancer In the Streets of All Nations Is called ,
vas the recipient of quite an honorary cn-
ertalnment during Buffalo Dill's stay In
his town. Ono of 'the ' Cubans employed by
Colonel Cody happened to meet handsome
Carmen while strolling through the Streets
> f All Nations and whllo conversing found
3iit that Carmen's brother Is a distinguished
fflcer in the Cuban army and fought In the
mttlo of Santiago , where ho was wounded
n the right shoulder. This wound made him
\ colonel and though Carmen was quite dls-
resscd at the news of her brother being
voumlcd , her pride in hearing of his gal-
ant conduct on the battlefield more than
offset her distress. The same evening
Colonel Cody Invited Carmen and her hus-
mnd , Armand , to partake of a midnight
uncheon in his own tent , and It was at ante
nto hour when the merry party dispersed ,
after having sampled some of Colonel Cody's
omous stock of wine. The new electrical
act which Carmen and Armand will Intro
duce next week at the Streets of All Na-
lens promises to create quite a sensation
vlth pleasure-seeking citizens.
The greatest live animal show ever pre
sented at nny exposition is "Hagenback's"
on the West Midway. Mr. Bostock , the
proprietor , can properly bo termed , In a
showman's parlance , a "plunger. " Ho has
low four shows on the road , about six on
the Midway , nnd Is taking personal pride
n making the "Ilagenback" the greatest
'eaturo of Iho Midway. He is continually
ntroduclng new features , new people and
the wildest as well as the tamest and b'.at
educated animals to be had from all over
the world. One of the latest and newest
ntroductlons is Senora Louise Slorelll , the
famous Parisian wild animal trainer , who
appears in the continuous entertainments
In her special and daring roll of entering
Iho arena with wild leopards and jaugars ,
heretofore unknown and unaccomplished by
any living being. "Hagenback's" is the
moat expensive , most entertaining nnd moat
instructive show for men , women nnd
children on the great Midway , which Is
fully attested by the throngs of visitors
lay and night.
The wonderful "Slazo , " where you lose
yourself a thousand times , Is packed from
morning till night. The beautiful woman
who was lost three months ago , has never
been found , yet she ppears dally and
nightly In her susceptible loveliness and
seems willing to be embraced.
Chlng Ling Fee hold * the crowds nt the
Chinese theater. Ho is the greatest magl-
clun slnco our wonderful Herrmann. The
theater Is packed at all hours.

of which Is noted not only at every expo
