LINCOLN, April 20. (Special.) A copy of Ihn ilrw'lxlnn nf Ihn ITnltrwl 4tnt.i t.ri-.llt court of appeals In the esc of the Stnto of I Nebraska against J. W. McDonald, receiver of tho defunct Cnnltal National bank, was i filed with the authorities at the state Iioiihj ) today. This milt was Instituted to recover tho state's deposit In the broken bank, amounting to J28S.3fil.8ri, nnd the decision of the court of appeals holds that the stat" has a legal claim to the money and should bo paid pro rata with other d"posltors. Tho , receiver Is scored rather severely far rtfus- ' lug to allow the claim, which the court hold i I to be confessedly Just and merltorlotu. The opinion In the case Is quite extensive and contains much mnttor of Interest to Nebraska luwyers. The supremo court Is complimented very highly In the following terms: "The state of Nebraska early adopted the reform system of pleading, and there Is probably no statu In the union whose courts have given to that system a moro liberal and enlightened Interpretation I or one moro In harmony with Its obvious and, wo may say, expressed purpose and Intent. The code of that state abolishes all common law forms of actions." The opinion Is by Judge Caldwell, Judgts Sanborn and Thayer concurring. I'rKi'i I'uplln tit I'ernlnt. Stnte Superintendent Jnckson has ad dressed tho following letter to Nehrnska educntors touching the rcrcnt decision of tho supreme court In declaring the froj High school attendance law unconstitu tional: In High School DNtrlit. No. 137. of Have lock. Neli.. against County of l.nnc.istrr, In nn opinion pippared by Judge Norvnl. the high Hchool law p.ismhI In iS9!i was toduv dprlared unconstitutional. Ilrlelly stated, tho grounds of this derision are as follows: Tho law provided rnr t Mo iiitcnilnnce oi in-rsmis of'schoal age at any lilgh school In the county Where such person resided out sldn the limits of any high school district. Tho tuition for such attendance at the rnto of 75 cents per week was required In he paid the high school district by the county. It was held In the opinion referred to that If 75 cents per week was In excess of fair com Iirnsal'on It was. on the one hnnd. favor uhle to the high school district, and on the other hand In the same degree was unfair to the, remainder of the County. If condi tions wire reveled and 75 cent was Insuf ficient, the county profited and the high school district was discriminated against. Tt was assumed that the rate IrdUated jnust necessarily be unequal and an unfair discrimination, one way or the other; that therefore the law was unconstltulonal be cause In contravention of sections 1. I and of article Ix of the constitution of Ne braska. Thco sections, for the purposes of the case, were cultomlzed In the follow ing paiav'raph of the syllabus prepared by Judge Nbrval: "The constitution of this tnte requires not only that the valuation of properly for taxation, but the rate as well, must be uniform." It would speio In the face of the fore going that It will be practically Impossible to frame a law that will be constitutional Unless the constitution Itself be amended. We hope that tin young man or young woman will feel that a lilgh school educa tion, or even a more advanced education. Is cut off because of this decision. The bolf reUn,. younc man or young woman who jias the nerseverance and determination to get Pll pdiicatlon will he able to overcome obstacles and make ways, and Indeed It Is a quest Ion whether It Is not unfortunate for a young man to have his tuition paid If lie Is able m niv his way bv his own ef forts.

Konney ..Miss Cecil Cromwell -Miss Maud Milton .Miss Ellen Terry Lovers of tho legitimate drama, tho men nnd women whoso memories are filled with delightful reminiscences of tho day of Dooth, Barrett, McCullough, Macready and a hct of other names that have made the annals of the stase Illustrious, have many things for which to thank Sir Henry Irving. Prom the day when he first made his np pearanco behind tho footlights until the present he has been true to the best and highest Ideals of his jirofe.'elon, and he has wrought unceasingly and unwearylngly through the Intervening years for tho at tainment of his aspirations. He has en countered difficulties that would have crushed a less resoluto nature, but, nothing daunted, ho has persistently pursued tho courso he marked out for himself at tho beginning of his career. Mutability Ih writ In large letters on the taste of the pub lic for its dramatic pabulum, and the pen dulum of popular approval has swung slowly back and forth over the are, at ono end of which are tho subllmo creations ot Shake3peare and at the other the lnano farco comedy nnd the prurient sex drama. Other men and women have trimmed their nails to catch every veering wind of popular fancy, and tho pity of It Is that many of them have been artlsln whose talents would have enabled them to take a high rank had thoy but stood eteadfast. Mr. Irving has been deaf to the clamor for the sensational and the nphacelaceous drama, and because of his fidelity to his Ideals he has spent for tunes that would have seemed princely to most men In his endeavor to preent, In a fitting manner, the best works of tho great est dramatists the world has ever known. To tho credit of his countrymen across the sea, as well as to our own people, let It be said thnttthey have not been unmindful of hio effort to elevate the stage to a higher plane, and that they have esteemed It n prlvllego to bestow upon him the splendid patronage he has so well deserved. If the magnificent audience that assem bled nt Doyd's last night bo not a sufficient refutation of tho plea that some managers nro so fond of putting forth that thoy are willing to give tho public what It will pay for, and that their reason for presenting an Inferior class of plays lies In tho fact that thero Is no longer a demand for tho lcgltl mato drama, then, indeed, none can bo offered. It Is not true that the old plays that have weathered the storm and strc3 ot cen turies have lost their power to attract. Sur charged and permeated as they are with the hopes and fears, the ambitions and aspira tions, that move the hearts of men In ev ery age, they can never become a part of tho rubbish In the great storehouse of the past. "Age cannot wither nor custom stale their Inflnlto variety." The modern drama Is neither to be de cried nor deprecated. It has Its mission and Its place. It may teach a wholesome lesson, tell an Interesting story, nnd, by reason of Its being moro closely In touch with our modern life, appeal more strongly to s-mo tastes, nut the old playc that had their genesis In tho teeming brains ot the men who had swept tho whole gamut of human passion must continue to strike a responsive chord In every heart that beats In conso nance with tho great pulsing ot humanity. It Is probably unnecessary to state that tho production of "Tho Merchant of Venice." as given last night by Mr. Irving nnd Miss Kllcn Terry was the most sumptuous over seen In this city. Thero was a warmth of coloring In every scene that was Oriental In Its depth nnd brightness, and tho roister ing mabuuers, bent only on plecsure, mado n background, against which tho somber character cf tho Jew stood out In bold re lief. With tho poaslblo exception of Hamlet, Shylock Is tho most protean of any of Shakespeare's creations, and the Interpreta tion which the different nrtlsts have given him have varied from ono another according to tho conceptlcn which each has formel of his true character. In Mr. Irvlng's hands ho Is crafty, running, avaricious, revenge ful, yet not devoid of tender sentiment. Shy lock Is, all In all, a very human pcrsrnage, n man who loves the memory of his wife, his only daughter, his religion nnd his race. Ho has been spurned and Insulted by tho Christians with whom ho buys and fells, thwarted In his bargains by their unwclcomo Interference, hindered In his galnH, even spit upon, and his blood Is hot with a hato that carries him beyond tho bounds of pru dence, and Is only staye.t when. Just In what screns to be ho hour of his triumph, ho Is broken upon tho wheel of his passion- Love, hate, avarice, theso aro tho three elements that con'end for tho mastery in tho soul of the Jew, and of these the second Is given the greatest prominence by Mr. Irving. Yet thero wns unspeakable love portrayed when ho bade Ms daushter farewell for the last time, be fore sr.ttlng forth to the mipper to which ho had been bidden, and even more strongly when. In the scene with Tubal, tho mention of tho turquoise ring brought back a flood cf precious memories. It Is In this scene, too, that tho full fury of his hate for An tonio beclns to show Itself a hato that Impels him forward to hla own undoing In tho court to which he has prcased his suit. Throughout tbo course of the drama Mr. Irving gave a consistent and commendable Interpretation of the role, his mobile face reflecting every passion that surged through tho tumultuous breast of the Jew. It was the most artistic piece of work that has ever been seen on tho stage of the Boyd's nnd, In nil probability, will ncvor be duplicated until such time as tbo master visits tho city again. F.nually commendable was the Portia of Miss Kllcn Terry. Though lacking In somo of tho physical endowments which most people have come to associate with tho character, her defects In this direction were moro than compensated for In tho many deft touches she bestowed on her work. Tho covering of tho casket which held her picture with roses and her turning of the pages of Antonlo'B letter with Bassanlo arn but two of the many little embellish ments which her more serious work re cnlved ami which stamped her as an nrtlst of tho highest rank. In the trial scene she wns at hor best, and the excellence of her acting was accentuated by an unconventlon allty that would havo been disastrous to one less gifted. The supporting company was admirable Messrs. Hearn nml Reynolds, as Ltun.'clof ' Oobbo nnd old Qcibbo. Miss CcMt Crom- I well, as Jessica, nnd Mies Maud Milton, as I Ncrlssa. The piece was sumptuously staged i and the costuming was both correct and handsome. BRILLIANT AUDIENCE THERE llojil's Crovfilril With Iteprescntntlve People of Ontnlin mill Muc roiinilliiK Cities. Such a brilliant assemblage as that which witnessed Inst night's performance never be fore sat In an Omaha theater. Tho boxes and tho entire lower floor were occupied by so- ! clcty people, whllo many representative cf j tho moro humble walks In life were to be I found In tho balcony and the gallery. It had been announced that no seats would be reserved In the gallery, but that admis sion could bo had to the front portion ot It through the main entrance nt $1 per head and that the dcors would be open at 7 o'clock. As early as fi o'clock In the afternoon people b;gan to assemble In ftont of the thea'cr, and when the doors swung Inward there wcro nt least f00 men. women nnd children strug gling for admittance. The vain efforts of two stalwart policemen, as well as several attaches of the theater, to keep the strug gling mass of humanity within hounds, told more plainly than words the nnxlcty of those who were not rich enough In purse or fortunnte enough to secure the moro de slrablo seats downstairs, to obtain the choicest seats at their command. At 6 o'clock a crowd formed In front of tho regular gallery entrance, It being through this that tho 60-ecnt tickets parsed their holders to seats In tho rear gallery. This door was opened a half hour later than that at the main entrance, and while the crowd was little moro than half as large as that which awaited the opening of the door nt tho latter place, the efforts of those In lino to got In first were none the less marked. Never did the Interior of Hoyd's theater look prettier, although no especial attempt at decoration had been made.

Many of the non-rcsl-donts had not provided themselves with tickets of admission In advance and were compelled to pay speculators an advanced price. Manager BurgcfVi announced that tho audience was tho largest that had over as sembled In tho theater since he had acted as Its manager. The grojs receipts amounted to a trifle less than $4,000, or about $1,000 moro than was paid by local theater-goers to see HIchard Mansfield last season. I-Mil nf "7ii n" In Slirllt.
