    AS VIEWED BY AN AMERICAN
Judge "Woolwortn Describes Bcnes of a
Vacation Spent in Europe ,
BIENNIAL WAGNER CYCLE AT BAIREUTH
Excitement of PnriB Over the Dreyfnn
Not So Hcmnrlcnlilc nil Hnd
llcen Anticipated Wonder *
o ( the New Uxooiiltton.
Hon. Jamea M. Woolworth. recently re
turned from the continent of Europe , whore
lie spent the summer In the company of his
daughter , talked entertainingly for The Bee
of bin trip the other day , giving his per-
nonal Imprwislons of things which attract
the eyes of the now toward the old world.
"Tho particular object of my daughter
und myselt In going abroad this year , " he
Bald , "was to attend the Wagner Muslca.1
fretlval at Balrouth , In Bavaria , Germany.
lialrcuth Is a town of about 30,000 people ,
beautifully situated In the midst of a wldo
valley. It Is a quaint old place , with many
Interesting historical associations. Wagner
erected hero an opera houbo with scats for
l.COO and an Immense stage , with stage
fittings , said to bo as largo and complete
M any In the world. Ho provided In his
will that every two years a festival of four
weeks should be hold , at which only his
operas should bo performed. Since his
death the directions of his will have been
compiled with under the direction of hla
widow and Bon , Siegfried. Their man
agement Is more or less criticised , as all
such affairs always are. The reason con-
Blots of four cycles , at which the same , or
nearly the same , performances nro given.
Thta year u cycle consisted of , the 'Ring , '
Including the Introduction to the trlology
known ns the 'Hhlnegold , ' which Is aoldom
If ever performed In this country. The
ether opoins nro the 'Valkurc , ' 'Sieg
fried , ' the 'Gotterdamerung , ' the 'Melster-
ulngcr' and 'Parulfal. '
"Tho stage-setting of these musical per
formances Is magnificent nnd constitutes
their chief feature. There are some good
Blngora and some who are not remarkable.
It Is said that the singing nt the Metro-
polltan Opera house In New York lost win
ter surpassed anything that is heard at
Ilnlreuth. It Is the atmosphere and as-
Doclatlons which give the special Interest
to the performances at Balreuth. People
go there In crcat multitudes from all over
the world for the express purpose of hearing
those performances , and they talk and think
and dream of nothing else. The perform-
unceo bccln at 4 o'clock In the afternoon
nnd close about 9'30. Between the first and
eecoud acts is an Intermission of half nn
hour , when everybody coes to the cnfo for
tea ; between the second and third acts la
another Intermission of an hour , during
which everybody has supper. The theater
stands on a gentle rise of ground surrounded
by cardtms and park overlooking ono of the
most beautiful valleys I ever saw. Just be
fore the performance four or six members
of the orchestra come out In front of the
entrance and at various points play the
motif which calls the people to their scats.
This is done very aulckly , and It Is aston-
ifihlnc how suddenly all noise , even the
rattling of the program or n whisper ceases
when the llchts are turned down. The or
chestra is splendid ; ns good as Is heard
anywhere In the world. Hlchtcr was the
principal leader , ono of the best. When
Siegfried Watrnor leads the whole perform
ance drags ; but It Is said this In In pur
suance of his father's Idua and direction.
Kvery seat In the house Is good and there
is not ono from which the whole stage may
not be seen There are no galleries , but
the seats rlsn ranldly from the orcheotra.
In the rear Is n slightly raised space occu
pied by royalty and the nobility. The charge
Is the same for every scat In the house.
The last performance In the cycle was
Parsifal , ' In which the myth of the Holy
Rrall Is portrayed. Parsifal Is a most dlf-
fltult character. Ho la represented as a
young man of perfect Innocence and In
prescntlnE this feature there Is a certain
amount of what you may almost call stu
pidity In many p.irts of his performance.
But the spectacles and the chorus singing
are beyond description. "
"Did you got any Impressions of the Drey
fus trial ? "
"Whllo we were In Paris the tragedy of
the shooting of Laborl , one of the counsel
of Dreyfus , took place at Uennes. I ex
pected to see creat excitement , and for the
purpose of learnlne the effect .of that event
upon the people of the city , I went around
to the creat cafes. I was greatly surprised
that there waa so lltt'.o excitement. In
fact , I did not ECO anything out of the or-
; dlnary. There was more or less talk of the
trial , but I jaw no Indications whatever of
the excitement which the papcra represent
M prevailing In Paris ; not even among
newspaper men , some of whom I saw and
overheard. Tula perhaps may bo explained
by the fact tnat great multitudes had gone
to the country , the Senate and Cham
ber of Deputies having adjourned , the
principal officers of etato having left and
the city having been largely taken posses
sion of by foreigners , mostly Americans.
"Tho preparations for the exposition are
on a magnificent scale. Permanent buildings
of the former exposition , although very
handsome , are being taken down and mag
nificent stone erections going up In their
place. There need be no fear of any revo
lution or other exciting occurrence In Paris
until the exposition Is over. The whole
country Is determined that It will reap Im
mense profits from this magnificent expo
sition. "
Venexnclnn Commlmilon ,
"Did you see anything of particular In
terest to your profession ? "
"Yos , I attended a sitting of ths Veneai-
uelan Commission. This body sits In tha
magnificent palace of the Department of
Foreign Affairs. You pass through several
wide , splendid halls and ante-rooms to the
ono In which the tribunal sits. This Is ono
of the handsomest rooms for any such pur
pose that can be Imagined ; spacious , lofty
and highly decorated. It Is divided Into two
parts , scats In the outer part being for tha
public and the Inner part being occupied
by the Judges and counsel. The Judges sit
upon nn elevated dais , each with a large ,
beautiful , "highly glided chair and desk ,
The center ! occupied by the president of
the tribunal , who Is a very distinguished
Russian nobleman who speaks both French
and English with scarcely any accent. On
his right sits Chief Justice Fuller of our
supreme court , and next him on the left
the lord chief Justice of England. Next to
Chief Justice Fuller sits Lord Justice
Collins and next to Lord Ruseoll , Mr. Jus-
tlco Brewer. There are a large number of
counsel , clerks and attendants. The at
torney general of England , Sir Iltchard
Webster , leads for Great Britain and ex-
President Harrlwon for Venezuela. Sir
Richard's argument for Great Britain occu
pied sixteen days. Ho was followed by a
Frenchman whoso name I do not this mo
ment recall who spoke for Venezuela and
occupied about the same time. These argu
ments were very long because the record
upon each point as It was raised and discus
sed by counsel , was supported by reading at
length all parts of the record bearing on
the subject. A vast amount of material has
been collected and has been presented In
magnificent printed volumes with maps nnd
reproductions of documents printed and pre
sented In the highest style of the art of
printing. The arguments are delivered In a
conversational nnd very quiet manner , much
like those of the most eminent counsel In
the supreme court of the United States.
Lord Russell Is suffering from a very se
rious malady. He only consents to accept
the appointment as n member of the tri
bunal upon the condition that he should not
bo required to attend any social function.
There has been some apprehension that ho
might not be able to get through the work.
He looks pale , but otherwise you would not ,
from his appearance , think him 111.
"A series of dinners haa been clven by
the chief members of the tribunal , and while
we were In Paris the chief Justice and Mrs.
Fuller gave one of these entertainments at
n cafe rome three miles from the city. All
of the members of the tribunal , together
with the counsel and clerks and Immediate
attendants , vsero Invited. The members of
the tribunal and several of the counsel had
the women of their family with them ,
ranking quite a colony , The only guests
outside of this body were my dauchter nnd
myself. Thus we had an opportunity of
meeting all these people In a very delight
ful way. Amone these people were Mr.
Allen and his wife , who Is known here as
Bertha Sloane. Mr. Allen Is one of the
attaches of the American legation.
"It was expected that the .sessions of the
tribunal would be concluded about the mid
dle of this month and Its labors brought to
an end by final Judgment In time for the
English nnd American Judges to reach their
courts , the sei-slons of which bectn early
In October. "

Signs of renewed activity about the Expo
sition were numerous all day Saturday , not
j only In the larger number pissing the gates ,
1 but In the new exhibits being placed and
the enthusiasm displayed by those who have
the arrangement of attractions. The fact
that the executive committee has come Into
some money has put a new phase on the en
terprise and all hands have ttiken hold with
i a will to carry the show to a successful
. basis within the next week or so. There
I were many strangers In the White City Saturday -
'
urday , and this was thought to be duo to
' the fact that It has been heralded abroad
that the Exposition city would eoon bo a
! thing of the past nothing but a beautiful
| memory. Those who have been putting
| their proposed visit off from time to tlmt ,
thinking there was no hurry , have now come
to the conclusion that the time Is limited
I and are taking advantage of the show whllo
It la In existence. The cooler weather , too ,
has had an appreciable effect upon the ad
missions and another thing that will help
materially is the fact that the farmers are
getting through with their work and are
bettor able to leave the farm for a day or so.
All those who visit the Exposition are
loud In praise of the grounds , which are
much handsomer than last year. The foliage
'
of a larger growth and the landscape
gardening Is very attractive. The addltlcn
j t of many palms and many rare plants lends
j a tropical appearance to the place that lamest
most attractive. The Illumination Is much
finer and more elaborate this year , far sur
passing the World's fair In Chicago In that
respect. A very largo number of additional
'electric ' lights were put up and the soft effect
of throwing lights upon the statuary from
hidden sources has greatly enhanced the
effect at night.
There Is remark everywhere that the ex-
hlblts are excellent this year. Some are
not BO elaborate as tlfoso of last year , but
are well worth seeing and new designs have
been built , and there Is an air of newness
about them that does not make the people
think of made-over shoes. The display la
the Agriculture building is very fine , a num
ber of counties having put In extensive showIngs -
Ings of grains , fruits and vegetables.
In every one of the large buildings there
are exhibits that would do credit to the state
at any time , and those people nho have
stayed away thinking that they would find
but little to Interest them have since found
out that the Greater America Exposition Is
something worth attending. Especially , Is
this true 'of the colonial exhibits , which
attract a great deal of attention.
Saturday had been set apart as Douglas
County day , but the festivities were postponed -
| poned until September 21. The exhibits of
the county were visited by many people ,
however , during the day and souvenirs with
pictures of the new battleship "Nebraska"
and the other exhibits were presented to all
comers.
Krnlt and Flower Week.
This week Is to be devoted to the fruit
and flower Interests of the state. Tomor
row the State Horticultural society will be-
cin its annual session to last for six days.
During this meeting the fruit growers of
the state will bo here In a body and will
have papers and addresses , and above all ,
wlfl have one of the largest and most com
prehensive exhibits of apples and grapes
ever shown In Nebraska. The fruit will bo
on exhibition In tha Horticultural building.
During this showing there will bo prizes
awarded for the best displays. The sum of
J2.600 has been set aside by the state with
which to pay these premiums.
Wednesday will bo Flower day and the
people who visit the flower show will be
given mementos of the day in the shape
of buttonhole bouauets. Thursday has been
designated as Fruit day and about 5,000
pounds of Nebraska grown grapes and about
fifty barrels of Nebraska grown apples wlU
be given to the public on that occasion.
There will ba a number of special days
from now on to the close of the exposition
and Mr. McGarvlo , who had charge of
such days last year , has come en and wilt
promote the advertising for this year also.
He will have an ofllce In the Department of
Publicity and has already , with the aid of
Mr. Cutwrlght , made out the following list
of days :
September 16 Maccabees' reception.
September IS All Railroad day.
September 19 Western Illinois day.
September 20 Omaha day. Odd Fellows'
and Rebckahs' reception.
September 21 South Omn&a dny. Douglas
County day.
September 22 Sioux City day.
September 23 Midway parade and Inter
national ball. Minnesota Editors' day.
September 27 Fraternal day. Grand fra-
ternlty parade.
September 28 Ak-Sar-Ben day.
September 29 Knights of Pythias and
Knights of Khorassan day.
The matter of a military day has been
brought before the management upon sug
gestion of Miss Dutchor of the Press bulld-
tag. Mlsa Dutcher suggested that the Utah
battcm-fl be brought hero and that a re
union of the three regiments of Nebraska
bo held. This has been received with fuvor
by those In charge of special days and work
has at once been begun on the matter. It
is thought that tbo large flag belonging to
the state of Utah , which was here last year ,
may be had again and when the Utah and
Nebraska boys got together have them all
under this one big emblem of liberty , as It
is 250 feet la length and as wide In proper
tion.
HCKNKS ALONG THIS MIDWAY.
The * IiivlRoratliiur Condition of ( he
Atui < plirrc 11 Iloon to SlKlititrerN.
The cool , pleasant condition of the weather
of the last few days baa proved quite a
drawing card for the exposition and Mid
way , Not only have the city people taken
advantage of the change , but strangers are
beginning to be more numerous and yes
terday all day and evening there was one
of the largest crowds of the season on the
grounds.
And , by the way , the condition of the
weather has a great deal of influence on
the money spbnders. Hot days have a de
pressing effect on the pocketbook , as well
as the system , but with the beginning of
the cool fall da > s the concessionaires will
have cause for rejoicing and the good busi
ness of the last few days das already been
felt with the more r&liablo attractions ,
The Artists' Studio seema to bo forging
to the front us the moat sensational fea
ture of the entire Midway , The posing of
the Misses Wallace and Do Arny , both
striking looking young women , stems to bo
the leading topic of conversation among the
concessionaires since the production of
their latest pose In Eralle Ilayard's great
painting , "An Affair of Honor , "
The Philippine Village Is one of the most
satisfactory places on the ground to pass
an hour or more. Ttio general arrangement
of the bulldlues , the beautiful walks , the
artificial lake and cloeirlo fountain are
some of the pleasing eights th t greet the
eye , to nay nothing of the water buffalo ,
the Filipino horses uid the musicians and
acrobats.
Immense as was Iterr Hagcntack'a exhi
bition at the World's Fair , greater by far
Is Hagonback's Trained Animal show now
nt the Omaha exposition. Ham , jr. , Is
the rarest wonder on the American conti
nent.

Sprinkling of Ilcnl Sports Among the
Spectator * .
The banner crowd of the racing meet as
sembled at the grandstand Saturday after

contained some very Interesting heats. There
were four good running races and two Indian
pony races and one foot race. There wo
a noticeable sprinkling of sports In the
crowd and the Interest In the racra haa 1
begun to pick up. Mr. Kussell , who has
had charge of the races BO far , went to St.
Louis In the evening , where howill ob
tain some Rood horses which will be en i
tered next week , when an especially strong
program will be given. The first accident i
on the course occurred to one of the squaws j ! I
yesterday. Julia Lone Elk had just finished
In the lead In the pony race when her pony
shied out to one sldo and jumped down
the lojv embankment at the cast end of the
grandstand. The saddle turned and prc-
clpltated the woman on her head. She was
Insensible when she was picked up , and did
not regain consciousness for some time.
The ambulance was called , and she waa
removed to the Emergency hospital , whore
she was given every care and attention.
Ncttlo Books , a now runner , won the
three-fourths of a mlle dash In l:14i. :
Royal Lancer waa second and Tarrenotto j
third. Patsy Dolan come under the wlro |
In the lead In the next race , a seven-six
teenths of a mlle dash. Now Moon and
Humming Bird were second and third re
spectively. Time : 0:44. :

Spectacle. "Snittlnpro , " to Be Pro-
iluccil on the Plnxn.
Monday night the extravaganza , "San-
tlga , " arranged by Kelly and Bollstedt , will

I Bcllstedt have both worked night anil day
j In preparing the spectacle , and have spared
no pains or expense In getting up some
thing entirely new and novel.
1 The scene Is laid In Santiago , and the
music and accompanying actors and scen
ery are Castlllan In character. The Span
ish music is introduced and the southern
j spirit obtains.
' Camp life on the American sldo Is nlso
depicted , and the many thrilling trumpet
I calls and the orders they designate nro
' exemplified beautifully. The sunset gun ,
tattoo , or lights out , and many other Inci
dents of soldiers life are among them. A
i touch of the sea life Is Introduced and the
1 music takes up the famous sailor music
of the world to lend a touch of salt &ea
to the picture. The boom of guns In the
distance tclla the story of the battle of
Santiago , and the charge of the Rough
Riders Is also heard. Later comes the
singing of "The Vacant Chair. " and then
the rousing home-coming of the troops Is
given , thus bringing the spectacle to a.
close In a burst of glory , both for the eye
and the ear. There will bo fireworks to
make the scene realistic.
A large army of people-'haa been gath
ered together for the occasion , consisting of
Spanish dancing girls , soldiers , drummers ,

The musical program for this afternoon
at the Auditorium by Bellstcdt's band Is
ono of the best that has been arranged
by the great band master. It Is a sacred
concert In nature , yet It In not a prosy
one by any means , and contains some good
music. To add yet more to the Interest a
variety will be added In tbo shape of a
.violin Eolo by Miss Silence Dales of Lin
coln , a talented young musician , who will
play "Airs Hongrolse" by Ernst. The solo
ist will have piano accompaniment. Miss
Dales appeared last year as violin soloist
with Thomas' orchestra , playing at that
time the "Ballade" and "Polonaise , " by
Vleuxtemps , and won the most favorable
encomiums from musical critic * , not only of
the west , but In the more conservative
east as well.

that body of men is now in excellent
shape. There are only seventy-seven men

but It has been weeded out and drilled Into
shape eo that the lack of numbers will not
cut any figure. The fact that the force has
been put upon a business-like busU and

SANITARIUM FOR SOLDIERS
Parorable Outlook for an Establishment nt
Hot Springs , 8. D ,
CONGRESSIONAL ACTION EXPECTED SOON
1'rnpnned Location I'oRupKnen nrrntmt
Known Ad * uitnnm , nMieclnllr
for the Treatment of
HUenmatlo Cnne * .
Captain H. E. Palmer has returned from
the annual natloual encampment of the
Grand Army at Philadelphia. HoMIB
chairman of the committee to which ft as
referred the resolution asking congress to
establish a soldiers' home at Hot Springs ,
S. D. , under the name of the Sanitarium of
the National System of Homre. He re
ported to the encampment that the pro-
ject was backed by the entire Board of
Managers of the National Homoa , General
W. B. Franklin , chairman of the board , beIng -
Ing especially active In the matter.
Through the Influence of the Board of
Homes thirty test cases of rheumatic dis
eases , the men being totally disabled , wore
taken on etrotchcns from the national
homo at Lcavenworth , Kan , , to the
elate homo at Hot Springs and treated for
sixty days only. General Avcrlll , Inspector
specter general of the national homes , re
ported that ono died , 44 per cent were cured
and that all others were greatly benefited.
Ho further reports that the saving to the
government by curing rhcumatlo cases
would more than pay the expenses of es
tablishing and maintaining the sanitarium.
With such an endorsement the encamp
ment did not hesitate to pass the resolution
unanimously nnd asked the comuiandcr-lu
chief to appoint a committee to wait upon
congress to secure the pafsage of the nec
essary bill.
The committee having this project In
charge vsos not named until January , 1S99 ,
aud consisted of H. E. Palmer , past de- I
rartmcnt commander , Nebraska , KB chair
man ; E. P. Farr , Ooorgo A. Sllsby , L. V.
Lucas , C. S. Palmer , all past department
commanders of South Dakota , and W. It.
Manning and Richard Hoot of Iowa. The
committee was Instructed to act without cx-
penao to the organlratlon , and the first
meeting was held in Washington on Jan
uary 29 of the present year. At this
meeting a memorial waa drafted for pres
entation to the house committee on mil
itary affairs. Upon Investigation it was
found that the bill for the establishment of
this sanitarium had twice passed the sen
ate nnd that at that time a similar bill was
before the house military committee.
On February 3 an argument was made be
fore the miritary committee by Captain Pal
mer , assisted by General Manderson and
Congressman Gamble of South Dakota. The
Immense pressure of war business , the Hull
bill and other obstacles prevented a report
of the military committee on the bill , al
though Captain Palmer and Mr. Sllsby re
mained some weeks In Washington trying
to obtain a report.
Since the adjournment of congress the
matter has not been allowed to rest and
the support of Colonel Henderson , who Is
slated for the next speaker of the house ,
has been secured. Chairman Hull of the
committee on military affairs , after a vlalt
to Hot Springs last July , Is strongly In
favor of the measure. It Is hoped that with
this Influence behind It there will be but
very little difficulty encountered In passing
the bill at the next session of congress. |
At the present time the only sanitarium
under government control Is a small one
for the regular army nt Hot Springs , Ark. ,
whore malaria and heat for nine mouths of
the year make the location undesirable. At
Hot Springs , S. D. , the attitude Is 3,482 feet
above the sea , the climate Is most delight
ful the year round and the waters are the
best and most curative In the world. It Is
the hop * of the committee that it win
be able to secure for the members of the
Grand Army on a larger swlo what the
government now provides for the regular
soldiers at their sanitarium at Hot Springs.

AS TO CARPENTERS' ' STRIKE
Both PnrtlcN to the Ivxlntlnn Differ
ence Hold MectlnK" mul DIs-
cnnii the Sltnattun.
The members of the Builders' association
met In executive session Saturday night for
the purpose of discussing the strike situa
tion. The session was attended by about
fltfeen members , and they expressed them
selves satisfied with the situation , an
nouncing their determination to further re
sist the demands of the carpenters for 33
cents per hour from now on. But they said
they were willing to pay the scale demanded
on and after January 1 , 1900 , or upon all
new contracts which may be awarded upon
the basis of the advance asked for.
It was stated during the course of the
meeting that a number of the carpenters
who have walked out are going to South
Omaha and working there for contractors
who are paying but 30 cents per hour. H
was also stated that some were working on
Jobs there which did not pay but 22 4 cents
per hour. It was not definitely known
whether these men were members of the
local union or not.
It had also come to the attemtlon of some
of the members of the association that the
South Om'ba union proposed to ask for an
advance of ! J cents per hour should the
Omaha carpenters succeed In securing the
increase they asked for.
The carpenters expressed themselves satis
fied with the situation , and assert that It Is
only a Question of time before they will
win , forcing the contractors to agree to their
terms.
Yesterday they circulated among the con
tractors the agreement which they want to
remain In force until May 1 , 1900. They
claim that It has been signed by a large
number of builders , Including many of those
which belong to the Exchange , and those
who are not affiliated with either of the
contractors' organizations. At the meeting
of the association It was claimed that not
a ulnsle member of that organization had as
yet signed It , nor Intended doing eo.
The agreement specifies that a day's work
shall consist of eight hours , excepting on
Saturday when the men will quit work nt ,
noon ; that the minimum scale of wages
shall consist of 35 cents per hour from
September 5 until May 1 , 1900. Tlm and
one-half shall bo allowed on all overtime ,
double time Sunday work , New Year's day ,
Decoration day , Fourth of July , Thanksgiv
ing day , Christmas day , or days celebrated
for the foregoing. No work shall be al
lowed on Labor day. If two shifts of men
are employed the same men aball not be al
lowed to work on more than one shift under
any circumstances , and six hours shall con
stitute a night shift , and the wages for
such six hours shall be equivalent to eight
hours during day. Every Journeyman carpenter - '
penter shall receive his pay In full each
week on SatuMay noon , but In case of dis
charge be must b paid at once on the Job
or waiting time paid. The contractors are
not allowed to lump , pleceout or sublet any
of their carpenter work , neither shall any
Journeyman who Is a member of any asso
ciation represented In the local union be'
permitted to take piecework In any shape
or mannei.
The carpenters will hold a special meet
ing this afternoon In I/abor temple at 2:30 :
o'clock.
