InR IOHI nlKlit In Turner hall for the pur-
I'oso of adopting resolutions which would
place them on record and close the mouths
of their Nebraska assailants. The hall was
crowded with representatives of thirty Ger
man societies of the city and German-Amer
ican cittern IH general. The clergy MBS
represented by Pathers Maurltzlus , Theobal !
nnd Adolph it the Order of St. Francis ,
Glauber an'i Joseph Wanner. Father George
I ) . Ileldnr.mn of Chicago was accompanied by
H. Schlttt , I , . Schmltt and 0. Llppcl of the
amo city , who wore Instrumental In having
the Chicago meeting called which adopted
resolutions of protest on March 27.
The meeting was presided over by I'hll
lAndrcs. The exercises opened with the
Turners' song , "Fresh , Plouo , Cheerful ,
Tree. " The Columbia Military band , under
the leadership of Paul Gornandt , rendered
an Inspiring overture. Chairman Andres de
livered , a strong address of welcome nnd
Albert Han read an original poem on the
feeling which should exist between this
country and Germany. The audience joined
In singing "The Star Spangled Ilanner , " the
vorrts of the National h > mn resounding
through the hall and evincing the reverence
the singers have for It. Ed Kleslcr , with
orchestral Accompaniment , gave a potpourri ,
which found a rich echo In the succeeding
selection by the Columbia Military band.
Carl Uralcr was the first speaker and his
remarks wcro devoted to giving a resume
of what the American people owe to the
Germans. Ho told of the love the Germans
In America have for their adopted country
nnd referred to their patriotic espousal of
the country's cause In the different -nrs
-which have occurred. He spoke of the debt
which America owes to the fatherland for
inspiration In music and song anil for tne
nrtlfians who have made American Inventions
famous.
Kiilhcr Ilvldinniiii Spoil It n.
The Orpheus Macnnerchor , under the lead
ership of Charles Peterson , rendered
"Arise Gcrmanla , " after which the speaker
of the evening , Ucv. George D. Hcldmann
of the St. Paul's German Catholic church
In Chicago , was Introduced. Father Hcld
mann was among the originators of the great
meeting which occurred In Chicago and Is
deeply Interested In securing the recognition
German merit Is entitled to In this country.
Ills subject was "What Wo Desire. " He
'brought ' a greeting from 500,000 Germans
in Chicago , from his church people and
lastly from his aged mother , who bade him
toll them that they must protest strongly
against any Intrigue which might result In
a misunderstanding of the position of the
Gcrmnn-Amerlians. He said the Jingoes had
tried every means they could Invent to cause
trouble between this country and Germany.
They had gone so far In misconstruing the
feelings of the German-Americans and their
position toward this government that a
great meeting was held lu Chicago finally
< o protest against it. This meeting i\as so
successful that It was heard of In Germany ,
Franco and England , -while Its Influence
found Its way to Washington nnd for a time
the Jingoes were compelled to hide their
heads. Ho said the German-Americans pro
tested for the fatherland and that they
might sav6 tbo bride which they had es
poused when they came to America. The
Gcrman-Amcrlcunb , he said , do not want
war. They protest against the efforts of the
jingoes to precipitate It. The enemies of
the cause , ho said , seem to have forgotten
Sherman's words that "War Is h 1 , " and
( all to take Into consideration how much
xnoro terrible an unrighteous war might be.
Father Heldmann said that Germany has
been a gpod friend of this country for 112
years. The loyalty and bravery of Steuben ,
Herklmer , Muhlenburg and DoKalb in the
revolution must not be forgotten. In 1812
the Gorman stood bcsldo the Yankee In the
fight against Kngland. During the civil war
the German regiments of Illinois , Wiscon-
ehf and Missouri fought with those from
other states In defense of the union. While
another nation , he said , was an open advo
cate of secession United States bonds found
quick sale In Germany nnd that empire
lent Its support to the maintenance of the
republic. He held that the strength and
sinew of this country lie In the ranks of the
German-Americans. The land Is free to all
and the German Immigrant has a right 'to '
i come hero and make his home. Ho may
cut down the great forests or plant the
boundless prairies , as ho has dono. Ger
man engineers have been the builders of
gi cat bridges , while the love of art and sci
ence had been taught by the sturdy race.
Besides the Germans have taught this coun
try a lesson in sociability and brought a
tetter understanding of their people. Ho
was glad to know that hall' the Inhabitants
of Nebraska aio of German descent. He
was proud of the record made In the Phil
ippines by German sons. The bravo Colonel
Stotbcnburg was referred to as an example.

He eald that Germany had given evidence
of the confidence it hai In this country
tlmo and again. In 1STO its interests In
Paris wore confided to the care of the
United States consul , notwithstanding the
fact that the American press was endeav
oring to belittle German victories over the
French. In .Manila confidence was again
expressed when Admiral Dewey was en
trusted with the care of German citizens.
Ho was glad thU confidence was not Im
posed In Coghlan or Kautz. Ho referred
to the position taken hy Gorman papers
over the attitude of the two nations at this

A committee competed of Rudolph N'oack ,
Peter Loux and Anton Llnucmann reported
on resolutlors Chairman Noack presented
the following resolutions , n counterpart of
those drawn In Chicago , which were adopted
unanimously.
With profoundest Indignation we have
noticed the persistent efforts of nngllsh-
Amcrlcan newspapers not only to Incite
among our people vicious prejudices ngalust
Germany and to defame the character of
the German-Americans , but also to drag the
United States Into an alliance with Eng
land.
land.As
As loynT citizens of this republic It Is our
right , as well as our duty , to resist these
wicked practices with all due firmness. The
immigrants from Germany have brought
with them td this land the achievements of
a civilization as high as It Is old. Upon
every field of the Intellectual life of our na
tion , as well ns In commerce , Industry nnd
agriculture , their efforts have redounded to
the weal of our people , and In peace , as well
as In war , they have at all times faithfully
fulfilled their duty. N'o part of the American
people has done more for the cultivation of
music , sociability , the arts , the sciences , the
churches nnd schools than the Germans As
good citizens of this country wo cheerfully
hand over the achievements of German cul
ture to our youthful American people still
In a state of development.
We emphatically object , therefore , to the
attempt to stamp our people as Anglo-Sax
ons and to make them subservient to liu-
gllsh guile. Not England , but the whole of
Huropo , Is the mother country of the white
Inhabitants of the United States.
Wo demand that not only friendly rela
tions be maintained with Germany , which
has been a falthfur friend of our people for
more than 120 jears , but that peace and har
mony be cultivated with all nations , nnd we
will , therefore , true to the wise counsel of
George Washington , at all times firmly op
pose the formation of entangling alliances
with England , as well as with any other
country , whereby our country may bo in
volved In unnecessary war.
We denounce the detainers who have not
only Instigated public Ill-will
- against Ger
many , but who have by their gross nlanders
also sown the seeds of discord among our
own people , and wo solemnly protest ngaiust
the proposed alliance with England.
Wo further declare that with all lawful
means at our disposal , especially In political
campaigns , wo will at all times strenuously
oppose all those who favor the wicked at
tacks made upon friendly nations and who
labor to entangle our country In an alliance
with England. We call upon the committee
that had In charge the arrangements for the
mass meeting to Invite all the German-
American churches , societies nnd orders In
this city to send a delegates to a convention
to be held at an early date for the purpose
of forming a permanent organization , that
the German-American citizens may be called
to action whenever It shall' become necessary
to protect the blessing of our American In
stitutions against wicked and wily politi
cians.
Wo call upon the committee to send ccples
of these declarations to the president of the
United States , to his secretaries and to the
senators and representatives in congress.
After tUc adoption of the resolutions the
awMenco joined In pinging their great song ,

.AMUSEMENTS.
. . . .
'Jho Trocadcro theater which proved so
popular with theatergoers last summer , was
I ' opened Sunday for the season. At both per-
{ formanccs the cosy house was crowded to
the doors , particularly at the night per
formance , when many wcro turned away unable -
able to gain entry. The character of the |
performances was the same as given last (
summer high class vaudeville. It an } thing
the standard of excellence Is higher than last
summer.
Many Improvements have been made lu
the oudltotlum of the theater and summer
garden. The floor In the rear of the tno-
atcr has been raised a foot , which enables
those seated at the tables to have an I'll-
obstructcd view of the stage , nnd the wood
work has been freshened with a new coat
of varnish and paint. The ushers are dis
tinguished by brand new uniforms of ted
cloth with gold trimmings and the waiters
wear semi-evening dress suits. One very ap
preciative feature now presented is the su
perb band and orchestra , under the direct ! i.
of Frank Lorcnz , which calls out coneldi
able enthusiasm. It contains several well
known solo musicians , notably Harry Mont
gomery , late xylophone soloist with Sousa's
band.
John C. Fox and Katie Allen nrc easily
the big features of the bill. Everybody
knows the team of Irish comedians named
Conroy nnd Fox , who for years were the
features with their own shows. Some time
ago they separated , both going Into vaude
ville. Mr. Fox took ns his partner his wife ,
Miss Allen , nnd has been extraordinarily
successful. Mr. Fox and Miss Allen arc
seen In a most amusing farce called "The
Flat Next Door , " written by himself. Miss
Allen enacts the role of .1 music hall sou-
brcttc and Mr. Fox a blase man about town.
The sketch Is full of funny stluatlons and
climaxes and Is nn excellent vehicle for the
display of the talents of those two clover
people. Doth possess excellent singing
voices and Miss Allen has a pair of very
eloquent feet. Their telephone- song Is
catchy and will doubtless become popular
here.
In the "Trolley Car Trio" Is seen the
best trio of knockabout comedians that ever
visited Omaha. It Is n most original act , in
which a full sl/ed trick street car plays a
prominent part. One feature of this act is
that it Is of a most refined nature.
America's greatest club swingers , Ben
Mow at and his voung son , nre in every way
worthy of the title they carry. Hughes nnd
Hughes In their comedietta , "A Model Hus
band , " give an excellent impersonation of an
inebriate husband and a long suffering wife.
The act Is 1n a comedy setting and appeals
strongly to an audience. Mrs. Hughes pos
sesses an exceptionally sttong and pleasing
singing voice , which she uses to excellent
advantage lu the several songs she con
tributes to the success of the sketch.
A pleasing act Is that of the Haynes
Maurice and Ethel operatic duelists. Mrs.
Haynes has a soprano voice of great range
and purity and Sir. Hnjncs a lyric tenor
of exceeding sweetness. Popular songs and
arias from well known operas are handled
by them In a most acceptable manner.
"Traveling in Disguise" is the name of a
potpourri of comedy which enables "The
Llttlo Big Four , " composed of Gould , Wes
ley , Gould and Venlta , to show their abil
ity as entertainers. Their efforts last night
secured for them the commendation of the
big audience. During the action of Hughes
end Hughes' sketch the heavy hailstorm
set In and Its din on the rcof of the build
ing caused the curtain to be rung down , as
the words of the performers could be scarcely
heard.
If there Is any truth in that old saying ,
"Laugh and grow fat , " this week's vaude
ville bill nt the Crelghton-Orpheum is one
that will certainly tend to Increase- the
avoirdupois of those who see It , for there
are only two acts upon the bill that ore
not laugh producers. Clifford nnd Huth are
the headllners and , whllo their act is a big
hit , Gardner and Gllmore , the singing bketch
team , and the little Misses McMlllen and
Stephan , shared the honors with them. These
three acts were the hits of the bill both for
laughter and applause. Clifford and Huth
do a specialty that is a perfect feast of merry
and mirthful comedy , Interspersed wlih some
character songs that are hits. Miss Huth
has that peculiar May Invln stjle , which
makes one feel funny the moment she comes
on the stage , whllo Billy Clifford is a come
dian who has an Innate genius for the ab
surd and In his dry , droll way Is ridiculously
funny.
J. E. Gardner and Kitty Gllmoro present
a singing sketch called "A Lover's Quar
rel , " In which there Is llttlo that would
suggest the title , but enough good repertoire
singing to make the act one of the biggest
hits on the bill. Both possess good voices
and stage presence that Is bound to make
them favorites.
The two little Council Bluffs favorites ,
Frances McMillan and Margaret Stcphun ,
pleased both of Sunday's big audiences be
yond the most sanguine expectations of
Manager Roscnthal , who discovered thcee
talented llttlo tots. They have Improved in
their dancing wonderfully slnco their ap
pearance on the Orphoum stage some months
ago and arc today two ns clever children
as are to be found upon the vaudeville stage.
In their cake walking they presented some
movements that are entirely new and very
different from an > thing of the kind seen
hero before. They are exceptionally grace
ful In their dancing and cake walking and
well deserved the several encores they re
ceived at each periormance. uoiu uuvo
sweet voices , which arc perhaps a trifle weak
as yet for work in a large theater , but
which will doubtless grow stronger with the
proper amount of cultivation.
Fred Nlblo doVTa monologue turn that Is
full of bright hits and funny sayings. Mr ,
Nlblo Is a former Nebraska boy and has Just
returned from the east , where he has made
big hits In the different vaudeville houses.
Bronson and Lewis offer a comedy called
' 'A ' Midnight Call. " They ore clever people ,
but the vehicle la one that gives them llttlo
opportunity to display their ability. The
La Mots present an acrobatic act that Is a
distinct novelty. Florrlo West sings some
character songs cleverly and the three sisters
Franklin seem to please the audience with
a character pong and dance act.

t SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
At tonight's meeting of the city council
It Is expected that the question of the sale
of $70,000 general Indebtedness bonds will
come up for discussion ag n At the mcct-
{ Ing a week ago this muttoi was talked over
for an hour or more and n resolution was
finally passed selling the bonds to F. J.
Morlarty for G per cent and a premium.
Kelly objected to the sale of the bonds un
less bids were advertised for nnd rather
than have any feeling about the matter Mr.
Morlnrty will , It Is understood , take down
his offer. Kelly has some bids to submit
from other bankers and ho anticipates that
when these bids are opened the bonus will
bo larger than that offered by Mr. ilorlarty.
Omaha bankers have stated , however , that
the bonds brought all they were worth
when Mr. Morlarty offered 5 per cent nnd
a bonus of $350. Just whose bids Kelly will
Introduce is not known , but it was reported
) estcrdny that he had in his possession sev
eral bids which he would offer when the
tlmo for considering the matter arrived.
These bonds wcro Issued In early dns
to pay for grading and other Improvements
and the cost of such Improvements were
not charged up to districts , as Is now the
custom. In other words , the clly Issued
bonds to secure the Indebtedness Incurred.
These bonds were made to run ten years
and brought C per cent. In the ten > ears
the enormous sum of $42,000 has been paid
In Inloraot nn It.oon hnnrla iltlllph In 17.000
more than half of the principal.
When this enormous amount of interest
Is considered the question of a sinking fund
is called to mind. South Omaha has never
provided for a sinking fund to assist In
liquidating all or a portion of the bonds
which have been sold , the excuse given for
not providing suh a fund being that It
would i > lace'too large n sum la the hands
of the city treasurer.
Unless a sinking fund is provided the
same trouble will occur when these bonds
mature ten jenrs hence. By the end of the
next ten years the city will have paid in
interest $14,000 moro than the principal. Not
a cent has been paid on the principal nt the
close of ten years and unless other arrange
ments are speedily made at the end of an
other ten years the city will have paid $84-
000 In Interest , leaving the principal of $70'-
000 still unpaid. There Is no money on hand
at present to pay even a portion of the
principal and therefore no course Is open
but to refund the bonds and make arrangements -
ments at the next levy to sot apart a portion
of the revenue as a sinking fund. At the
present time the bonded Indebtedness of
the city amounts to $307,000. This Is c\
elusive of district Indebtedness. It can thus
readily be seen that some steps toward a
sinking fund must bo made before long or
the city will be swamped with Interest-bear
ing securities.

avenue and Twenty-Ninth street one of the
horses fell In turning the corner nnd was
Injured so that It will be unfit for use for

WASHINGTON' , May 14. Admiral Devv-
ey's homecoming by way of the Mediter
ranean is likely to give occasion for dls-
l tlnguisbed honors from the navies of Eu
J rope , most of them represented by exten
sive eiuadrons In the Mediterranean waters
and some of them having their chief naval
stations at Mediterranean ports. Already
Ambassador Cambon of France has called
the attention of the authorities at Paris to
the return of Admiral Dewcy by way of the
Mediterranean nnd the probable calling of
bis flagship Olympla past the French naval
ports In Algiers. These are opposite the
British posesjslons of Gibraltar and Malta ,
at the entrance to the Mediterranean , and
are easy and natural stopping places along
that route.
It Is hardly expected that the admiral
will touch at Toulon , the great naval depot
of France. At the ports of Flench Algiers
be will be accorded every honor due not
only to his high rank , but to the universal
esteem In which he is held by the naval
fraternity.
The British authorities have taken no
step thus far to have the admiral stop at
British ports , but It was stated today by
one of the British officials that Dcwey would
bo assured n most enthusiastic greeting If
ho stopped at any British station and that
undoubtedly steps would be taken to induce
him to touch at Plymouth and Portsmouth ,
the southern naval depots of England , If
there vaa any prospect of his accepting.
In any event It la oald the admiral was
quite likely to stop at .Malta and Gibraltar ,
as these arc the usual coaling places , and
this would give nn opportunity for the ex-
prceslon of British esteem for him.
In the event that Admiral Dewey could
be Induced to stop In England en route
home it is said that he would probably bo
met at Aden or Port Said by a British
eccort.

Harper's Banr : "I have called on you to
day , " said the professional humorist , with
a glad smile as ho nppi cached the desk of
the great editor and made himself Comfort
able In the precarious office chair that once
had a cane bottom In It , "to propound it
scheme that seems to me to be up to date
and well worthy of consideration. "
"Umph1" growled the great editor. Thus
encouraged the humorist proceeded.
"For some time past , as you ha\e doubt
less observed , the progress of the world has
developed a peculiar phase , which may bespoken
spoken of as that of lessening. It seems
to be the ambition cf all Inventors to add
the word less to everything that has been
Invented In the past. We now have smoke
less powder , painless dentistry , horseless
carriages , wireless tclpgrnphy , and many
other things have undergone a change
that may be similarly described ; but I will
not troubFe you with a complete list. Now
It spcms to me that the time Is ripe for n
blmllar stride forward in the field of humor ,
and I have come to jou today with a bun
dle of specially prepared pointless jokes "
And In less tlmo than It takes to write
