TILE OMAHA DAILY UKK: Sl'XDAY, ATOITST 10, 1000. 13 7 AMUSEMENTS. 7fr The Hon has received the following ad vniire announcement James J Jeffrie-, In "Th Man Tom th V s will pf r.soiiiiti' mi- nt the belt. !. Im.itcd. spurred mid nomiirr-rix'd kilulit Nf rhlvnlrv Who abound In the fur w-l-ern '..utitrv and arc typical of rnm?el, stalwart Americanism. In th llno of the tout and gamin, Wouldn't that Jar you?" The Idea of a rUK like James J. Jeffries Impersonating inyonn with oven a touch of tho chlvalrlr n his nature Is enough to make one laugh. What. In the name of all that Ih sacred in the traditions of the Btage, does this beefy bluffer know about chivalry? It Ih 'I 'Ubtful If he ever heard tho word and Hill more no If he known Its meaning. The atmosphere of tho prize ring Is hardly conducive to ehlvalrlc sentiments, anil tho clangor of the hammers of the boiler shops, whlls possibly bearing some slight resemblance to the ring of spear as It clashes against shield, has never hereto fore been thought to be suggestive of these scenes which were part and parcel of tho life of years ugonc. As a mntter of fact, Jeffries can no moro depict a chivalrous nature than a stream can rise higher than Its source. Hven If h wcro capablo mentally of doing so, the thought of who and what he Is would In trude Itself and ruin the Illusion. Tho picture of tho world's champion bruiser posing as a chlvilrle soul Is only exceeded In Krotesqueness by that of an elephant trying to eal Ice cream with a fork. Isn't It about time tho managers cut these people off their litis? The experi ment has been tried In the past, and, from nn artistic standpoint, has proved an en tire failure. Corbet t was easily the best of uny who essayed to add thesplc to gladiatorial honors, but even he made a wretched failure. Then came Lanky Hob ritzslmmons with his lack lustre face and baboon physique ami thai he was not hissed from tho stage Is a testimonial to the good nature and patient forbearance of the American public. Now comes Jeffries. He will make money, for he will attract n crowd who love belter to look upon brawn than brain. He will tako their coin and give them nothing In return except the privilege of looking upon the form of a man who up to the present has met and defeated all comers. We will be permitted to gaze long and lovingly upon Ills huge flsl. his bull neck, his "strong nnd sinewy arms," but thero will be no use to search for anything further, for It will not be there. The people of the country have It In their power (o make his career as an actor short nnd Inglorious. It Is to be hoped they will not fall to do so. Manager Burgess of Iloyd's has evidently been having an enjoyable time In the Kuropean capitals, If tho following letter recently received by n personal friend of his Is nny criterion. It is as follows: t IRANI) 1IOTH1, DH ItO.MK, ROM K. July 13. All roads lead to Rome. Well, here we are. We arrived two days ng.i and we have found Rome a great and won derful city, and more than that I onlv wish I could describe It, but will not at tempt to do so. We unit to St. l'eter's today nnd it 's wonderful. Hut tho Coliseum Is still more wonderful I tell you the old boys that lived In i nose days were dandles. We were disappointed with the Paris ex position; In fact, I do not think It compares with the World's fair at Chicago. The l'nlted Slates has some very line displays there, but I am ashamed of our government building As the I'arls papers say. It looks like a country poitolllee. The government biillMng we hnd at our Trunsmlatdsslppi Exposition was much better. Tails Is alt right without an exposition. It Is the largest ellv In the world and they live at night. I think Colonel Sharp would like I'-rK ... v. Ilerllu reminds me somewhat of New York, lookn more like an American city than any we visited. From Berlin we went to Dresden and there found the most beau tiful shops nnd gardens. Krom Cologne we went up the Rhine to Coblenz, a Herman city of about M.rmo, and there Is the plme we' had a time trying to be understood: not a soul In town could understand Kngllsh We wanted to send a telegram from there to Krnnkfort to engage a sleeper to Iterlln. That In the worst experience we had try ing to make ourselves understood. Krom Dresden we went to Vienna, where we visited tho galleries and palaces and the umperor's stnblea and saw his i horses; It seemed an if thero were 4.000; n er "00 carriages Krom Vienna wo went to Venice, a won derful city which I could not attempt to describe; It Is built In the water and Is ap proached bv a bridge three miles In length, bulll right out Into the sea. Landing at the depot vim take a gondola to your hotel and If vou want to cross the street lo gel a drink you have to cross In a gondola. The cathedral at this place, St. Mark's, Is a fine structure. We were fortunate In being there on their aiinunt holiday, July 15, the time of their Venetian iiirnlwil and I tell j ml they made a night of It Thousands of gondolas beautifully decorated with lan terns of all colors: they took their meals In the gondolas and sang and played all night long. We Nat up most of the night at our lintel, which Is on the Orand Canal. Krom Venice we went lo Florence, where no saw the tomb of Michael Augelo and several oilier old ones. Krom Florence we m inn to Rome and have enloyed It all Next we go lo IMsa, Milan. Lucerne and lnterlaken. May go down to Monte Carlo. Thence to I'arls and London and on August 11th sail for America. And after I have seen II all 1 will be glad lo be back In Omaha, for I have seen cathedrals, galleries, pnlaees, dukes and princes until 1 am black In the face. Very hastily. W. J. HI'ROKSS. V S. No blotters In this country. I got a brick from the Coliseum which 1 urn smuggling through In my hat. Richard Manslleld Is holding dally re hearsals of his company In preparation for bis revival of Shakespeare's "King Henry V," and his days are crowded with work, harder and moro engrossing work than tho civilian imagines. Rehearsals begin at 11 o'clock, llefore that hour there aro details of business and correspondence to look over. Frequently UIh luncheon hour is curtailed to drive luistlly over to a scenic artist's nnd pass on some newly finished stage picture, or perhaps to hurry to a costuuier to suggest and advise about the dress of soldiers nnd nobles, urchblsttops and courtiers, all of which has to be studiously correct In design and heraldry. This revival promises to he the moid elaborate dramatic spectacle the stage has yet hecn. The play Is rich in Shakespeare's nioet masterly touches, but It Is seldom seen on the stage, simply because of tho outlay of money which It requires. Mr. Manslleld Is preparing eighteen different stage pictures, nil of them of extensive elaborateness, and II from historical models. The processions, battles and court scenes present quickly suc cessive panoramas which will require up wards of i!50 people. The armor for King Henry V Is being mnde by a celebrated Kngllsh armorer nnd will he shipped to this country tho last of this month. The forty or moro who have to wear this heavy and Inconvenient hublllnicnt will have to ro hearso long nnd laboriously to attain case under Its unyielding weight. A celebrated rnmpoter Is preparing music for the produc tion. In the historical episode of King Henry's return lo London after the battle of Aglncnuri a ballet will nppear, and for tho betrothal scene of Henry beforo the nsscmblcd royalty, nobility and soldiery of Knglaud and France In the cathedral of Troyes a choir will bo heard. For the part of Princess Katherlne, Mr. Mansfield has engnged Mile, nrassy, a French nctress of considerable note, who arrived last Sunday. One of the most delicious comedy features of the celebrated play Is the dif ficulty which the French characters en couiurr with the Ungllsh, for Shakespeare consistently makes them all speak French or Kngllsh wlih a French accent For the several French characters of this descrip tion Mr. Mutibliiid has cnguged French artists of whom Mile llrassy Is the most prominent London Is prefently to see another piny by an Amerbau author Miss Julia Nellsoti will on August 30 at the Haymarket theater, for the first time on a London stage, present Paul Kester's comedy. "Nell Owynne." Mr. Kester Is an American nnd, though u young man, he has already achieved distinction of tho first class as a dramatist. Modjcska, Alexander Salvlnl, Rhea, Walker White sides and Janauschek have acted his plays with success. Mr. Kester will this winter have two plays presented In New York CHy 111 addition to his London nrmllmllnn tn other fields of literature this American writer has made equally successful ex cursions, and his "Tales of the Heal Oypsy," which embody most charmingly the result of a life-long acquaintance and confidence with these strange people, has been widely read ami admired. Mr. Kester's verse has hecn conspicuous In the Uooktnnn and other literary mugnzlnes. 1'rovldlng the dramatist has not deviated from tho story Miss Viola Allen In her new play. "In the Palace of the King." a dramatization of F. Marlon Crawford's novel by Lorlmer Stoddard, will be In much the same position as she was with "The Christian." In the latter play the Interest naturally centered In John Storm nnd It was only through the fine performance of Miss Allen that (llory Quayle became tho "star part." With a strong actor Imper sonating John and a weak actress as fllory It Is easy to understand how the male, performer would walk nwny with the ap plause and attain the larger share of sym pathy of the nudtence. That the actress did not Insist that the part of John Storm be cut down and weakened Is suluclontly concluslvo proof that Miss Allen would not reduce tho foreef ulness of tho play for her own aggrandizement, and that she had an abiding faith In the strength of her own powers. .It cannot, of course, be stated at this time how closely Mr. Stoddard has follow eil Mr. Crawford's novel. If. how ever, he has not widely departed from It there will be two leading pnrts of almost equal strength, that of Don John of Aus tria and Dona Dolores do Metidozn. The dramntlst would not have much trouble In making either paramount, but It Is more than likely that Miss Allen has Insisted that a nice balance be maintained In tho possibilities of the two roles. ComliiU Kvriifii. Owing to tho fact that the play presented by tho Hodmoad Stock company the last half of last week required moro than the or dinary amount of rehearsals, the production of "A liny Without a Name," tho new piece to which the Redmond company will give Its first presentation In Omaha, has been de ferred until Thursday night.

't Several persons of good Judgment In mat ters musical have gently remonstrated with me In regard to tho opinions ex pressed In this column on the popular songs of the day and more especially the '('ton" song. In delereiice to their Ideals and opinions which I know are sincerely honest it may be well to make a few explanatory remarks. The objection Is not to ragtime pure and simple, for. as all musicians know, It is founded on a purely scientific musical basts, being as It Is an Interesting study In the process of "Syncopation," which Dr. Rlcmann defines as "a term In music applied to the connecting of nn unaccented with an accented beat, by which the plain course of the meter is contradicted. Har monically, syncopation Is either a pro longation of the note of a chord Into the next chord or an anticipation." Hut tho trouble only begins with rag time. It doeB not end there. One should feel It a duty to cry out and shout against nny muBle. no matter how Inherently good fas far an individual chord construction Is concerned). If It were badly carried out lu detail and were associated with an In ferior sentiment. The singing of snered words to the air of the "Hot Time" does not make the said caloric tune "good" music, any more than the fact that the dainty "Narclssds" becomes cheap or trashy dance music, because It Is used as n two-step by musicians who should know better. Let mo be distinctly understood. I do not Intend to find fault with popular music In the strict sense of tho term. My pur pose is not fanatical. Would the musi cian like to see banished from the world's music such songs as "Hen Holt," "Tenting nn the Old Camp Oround," "The Vacant Chair," etc.? No, no. Hut these aro popu lar songs In the sense of meaning "songs of tho people." Let us use Home other word to describe tho rottenness which reeks from the vaude ville singe In the namo of popular songs, bout sticky lips, greasy hands, over dressed anil badly preiented types of ne groes at sight of which any decent colored gentleman would be disgusted, crap games, "ynller" features nnd other equally delec tnble stuff, which the seat holders In the parquets, dress circles and boxes ap plaud nnd consider, or appear to consider, good music. Or else let us drop the word popular song nnd tako tho word "Folksongs" for those songs of the heart, which will llvo and bo cherished, because they aro living heart-throbs nnd while they may not bo classic they are good. Muslclnns must not expect everything to be classical. "Is not the life more than meat and tho body than raiment?" Tho truth of tho affir mative Is admitted. The classic dress of the thought does not atone for tho thought Itself, It being absent. Let the Folksong he spoken of with af fection, for It Is all that binds somo people to music. The true spirit of the negro race Is not exemplllled by the crap-shootlng, unintel ligent and coarsely-grained tough, or by the powdered, painted, red stockinged thing called "Ma Ilaby" any more than Is tho "folk" type of an Englishman a thin spindle-shanked nonentity, with a 'orrlblo h'necent nnd a circular pleeo of window pane In his lack-luster eye. Tho spon taneous outburst of the llfo of our darker skinned brothers nnd sisters Is not ex pressed by the average song of today. For the natural tendency of tho rare look up such simple, sentiments nnd fascinating themes as those In "I'se n Llttlo Alabama Coon," or "Say, Have You Kver, Ever Seen My Angellne?" r "You'se Just a Llttlo Nigger, Hut You'se Mine. All Mine." 1 obsnrve from n forecast of Mr. Hellstedt's programs that he Is about to regale us with conslderahlo quantity of tho typical pop ular song (as opposed to thn Folksong). 1 think he makes a mistake. I bellevo In education, I believe In meeting tho people on their own ground; that Is to say, giv ing them something they can understand. Hut one can nevor cure depravity by be coming depraved, neither can nne lift an audience from the depths of musical Ig norance and stupidity by playing for them stupid nnd senBeleas music. If Mr. Fcll Htcdt will adhere to tho Folksong his mis sionary work will have a good result. Look at this criminal record- "I halnt seen uo messenger boy." "The Mick that threw the brick." "I'll be an old man's darling." "I guess I'll have to telegraph ma haby." "I'm certainly living a ragtime life." "Jest beeauso she made dem goo-goo eyes " "Well. I guess I'm bad." "1 couldn't stand to see my baby lose." "When you halnt got no money, well you needn't come around." These songs are not needed on any musical program. They havo no placo there and thero Ih no excuse for tholr presence. Let them be abolished. An Interesting hour was enjoyed Inst Monday afternoon nt tho First Congregn tlonal church, when two organists plnyed to a small hut thoroughly Interested as semblage. In addition to church members present, music committee, etc., thero could havo been seen tho organists of the follow ing churches: Trinity Cathedral, All Saints', First Congregational, St. Paul's Episcopal of Council Bluffs and tho First Methodist of Omaha. The playing was diversified In character nnd some astounding effects wero pro duced. Novel arrangements of various well known compositions were hilariously played by the first organist and the Becond organist played some numbers well and one notably with indifference to tempo, sentiment and color. Mr. Walter E. Young has been n'rfpolnted organist of the First Congregational church, to succeed Mrs. Frances Ford, the retiring organist, who has struggled effec tually to maintain In that church a muslcnl service, when tho oncouragement wns not very enthuslustle. Mrs. Ford has tilled n place In the musical world which will not easily bo occupied by any one else. Miss Ella Ethel Free, tho brilliant young pianist whose success since her arrival In Omaha has been little short of phenomenal, will bo absent from her studio for a few weeks. Sho has decided to take a needed rest and will visit the home of ox-Governor Irrabee. holug ono member of a very de lightful houso party. Miss Free will re turn about the first week In September. The popular and artistic organization tho only local one of Its kind called the Mendelssohn Male quartet, having been ongnged to sing at a Grand Army of the Republic reunion In Iowa, returned last week with enthusiastic notices and strong endorsements. The quartet consists of Messrs. Dan Wheeler. Jr., Hazeltou, Hav erslock and Thlckstun. To Mr Charles M. Bliss belongs the credit of having prosented "The Creation" nt Fremont In a very praiseworthy manner last week The program has been received at this oftlca and It U ft highly artistic plcre of workmanship. Mr. tlltss assumed a big undertaking when he attempted such a production with the Oratorio society of the Fremont Normal school. It speaks well for the students, for the school, for the conductor Hnd for the people of Fremont. Long may the good and wise St. Keb IUgus give his blessing to the musical peoplo ol Fremont nnd also some of that financial sugnr which sweetens the work of produc ing "Creations" and makes art possible. Mr. Thomas II. I'crfleld. one of the best known plnno men In the west, surprised his musical friends lu the city by assuming the management of .the Collins Piano company of Omaha during the past wick. Mr. Per Held was previously Identified with the Hard man piano. A gentleman from out of town nslted a lending cmtrnlto of Omnhn last week If she had ever heard tho new populnr song entitled "The Holy City." The contralto wisely advised the gentleman to go to church occasionally and he might hear many such popular songs. It does seem strnnge that so many of the sterner sex have not yet abolished the lden that the standard of music In the churches has never risen beyond "Beulahland" or "Oh Happy Day." Perhaps It will do no harm tn state that tho church today Is tho prin cipal support of music lu almost every city of the l'nlted States and that If people would attend once In a while they might hear something new In the way of music. All the good music Is not sung at Easter and Christmas. THOMAS J. KELLY. MRS.

"To both these questions 1 answer no with all the truth In mr being. I am free from disease and there Is but one physician gunrdlng my welfare. He Is the Great PhyBlclan." Taking n seat on the sofa and motion ing the reporter to a chair near at hand she said: "Now I am ready to give you any Information that you think will be of Interest to the public. "It Is with sadness that I have noted n certain Inclination to ascribe to me a con dition that does not exist. Were It not I believe that reports wholly false have been scnttered nbroad concerning my physical condition, nnd that these falsehoods com ing to the ears of my .any friends would cause them pain, 1 would not feel that It wero necessary to publicly utter any denial. Is It not strange that some natures are so constituted that they can return evil for good? It has always been my practice to return good for evil, and that Is a good practice, do you not think bo?" she said with a smile thnt lighted her fea tures. "You came here to ask me If I were sick.

"There was once a time In my life when bodily ailments laid me low, but I have learned that mind reconstructs the body us nothing else can do."

Old-Stylo Methods of Handling Milk Rapidly Becoming Obsolete. CREAMERIES DO BULK OF BUSINESS .Slerlllrutloil mid Refrigeration Pro censes Reduce tlir Business to n .More Hj sleniiitle lliisls. In round numbers It requires 7.'0 per day to supply the people of Omaha with milk. Five counties tn two states contribute to the volume of lacteal fluid which Is meas ured out each morning to the housewives and hundreds of people find employment In the business. The milk trade of Omaha has been partly revolutionized In the last few years nnd Is rapidly passing from the hands of the milkman, who, driving his own cart, has In the past sold milk by the Indlefut. HU new competitor Is the "crrameiy" company, which, with larger capital and equipped with modern mechanical appliances, buys milk from the farms within a radius of thirty miles of the city. and. nfter steriliz ing It, delivers it each morning at the home of tho consumer. In Omaha these com panies already control about 50 per cent of the trade. A visit to the headquarters of one of the Inrgest milk companies of Omaha shows that frigidity Ib the main reliance for the preservation of milk. This house lian brauches In Douglas, Washington and Sarpy counties, where milk Is purchased from the surrounding farms fof' consumption In this city. Though the milk Is sold by the pint, quart or gallou, an entirely different sys tem Is followed In Its purchase. This difference Is necessary because half of the milk bought by the company Is made Into butter before being sold and therefore the milk Is paid for upon the basis of the amount of butter fat It contains. At every branch or station test tubes are provided Into these samples of the milk from each farm are poured. As the butter fat shows In the test tube so the milk Is graded At present the prevailing price of milk In the country Is 1R cents a pound for butter fat. Process of MleiillHtliiti. The milk Is delivered at the stations from 5 to S o'clock on the morning It Is drawn from the cow. The stations of the companies are what aro known as gravity stations that is, the milk Is not pumped or churned In any wny before delivery The milk Is brought to the stations In cans, from which It Is poured Into a re ceiving vat. This vut Is divided lu the center, nil of the morning milk being poured Into one compartment und the even ing milk Into the other. Each morning requisitions are sent out from Omaha to each station and the quantity of milk re quired Is set aside. From the receiving vat It runs Into the sterilizer. This Is a revolving cylinder, In the center of which Is a cylinder filled with hot water. As the milk passes between the outer Jacket and the hot water or steam cylinder It Is heated to not less than 140 degrees nor moro than 1C0. From the sterilizer It passes Into ten-gallon cans, In which It Is shipped to the city by express. The first consign ment of milk arrives at S o'clock and the lost at 11. Tho three milk companies In Omaha ship dally Into tho city on an average l.iiOO gallons each morning, besides 100 gallons or moro of cream. The milk wagons bring the supply up to 3,000 gallons, while It 1b estimated that the sules of private families will bo 7S0 gallons more The distribution of the milk to the con sumers is one of the Inrgest expenses of the business. The. "milkman" who milks a few cows on the outskirts of town and buys ad ditional stock from his neighbors still de livers bis merchandise In wagons from house to house, as has been the custom of his prototypes for generations. The large milk companies also make use of wagons, but the city 1b districted and thn wagon carries numerous bottles resting In frames similar to those In which beer or soda bottles are carried. While much milk Is delivered by wagon a large amount Is dispensed at the milk depots which find lodgement lu confectionery stores, bakeries and groceries throughout the city. At these places the milk Is delivered In cans, sold outright tn the merchant, who to talis it nt a slight advance over first cost. .Skimmed .Mllll nml HiltlernillU Sales. In addition to the sale of freph milk Omaha affords a market for much skimmed milk nnd In the summer time tho amount of buttermilk sold Is not Inconsiderable. Tho packing houses aro the best customers for skimmed milk. When oleo Is manufactured hundreds of gallons aro used every day, and In the treatment of other meat products milk Is required. Tho process butler houses use much milk In scouring tho conglomerate mass which Is the basis of their product. This skimmed milk Is tho excess of the purchase of tho company over Rb sales. At each station there Is located a separator, nn Invention which separates tho cream from tho milk bb soon as It Is extracted from the cow. The separator Is a rapidly revolv ing cylinder which throws tho cream to tho outside and lets tho skimmed milk run through a pipe In Rb center. By this proreas overy particle of butter fat Is extracted and all the different parts of the milk Block utilized.
