So finished was his work In tho part that at tho end of tho second net, which wns n particularly pathetic one, he rccolved four curtain calls ami was forced to mako a speech, which he did In n hnppy vein. Mr. Wnrdo makes of Holphcgor a manly but guileless character, two characteristics lacking in tho Itinerant showman of this country. In his bringing out and blending of tho two qualities ho wns Intelligently consistent. His work nlong theso lines In the first two acts was a shrowd prepara tion for tho niidlcnco's feelings, as It gave placid enjoyment excepting at tho closo of the second act, when that enjoyment gavo way to sympathetic pity. In the Inst two acts pity turned to admiration. His sccno with Lavcrennes at the garden fete, In which ho demanded the knowledge of the whereabouts of his wife, was dramntlcally strong. One of his clcvorest bits was his Impersonation of Lnverennes and denuncia tion of his persecutors In the last act. and his telling of tho story of the vagabond Helphegor. Hero he ran the entire gamut of human emotions, finishing with the happy-go-lucky nclphegor of the first act, when the tide turned In his favor. Warde can sway an audience at will. The npplauso the audlenco gave Barry Johnstonn for his clever Impersonation of tho tottering old Duke de Montrazon was a tribute to his masterly handling of a dim cult character. Charles U.

The session wns stated In the call as being "for the purpose of Introducing ordinances, consider lng and reading nrdlnnnrfM the' first and second time, ami referring any such ordi nances to committees," The matter to be brought up Is the ordl nance containing the Union Pacific contran with the city, which Is now completed, I was thought by some that the second ordl nance granting the Northwestern railway right-of-way along Klghth street would bo considered, but that would be on third reading, and tho verbiage of thn call for bids-the discussion ot such documents and any action ujta tiem. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Oitj'i Ortdit it tffld with tht Itid lijrt at Fttstit. TOLEDO FIRM SPEAKS FOR ANOTHER IStUE llnjs thr t.nt find MnUe nn Offer for the Mntnrltlr of Xrxl Ymi t'riipltlnn Considered n (iooil One. The recent Issue of South Omaha refund- lng bonds has been purchased by Spltser & Co. of Toledo. This Issue Is msde up of $35,344 special district bonds wherein tho courts havo declared the Improvement tax Illegally levied and 124,536 In general Indebtedness refunding bonds. Word was received by the city clerk yesterday that Spltzer & Co. would tako the Issuo at 6 per cent nnd tho offer was Immediately accepted. Along with thn accentancc came an offer to purchase nil of tho maturities of the city for 1902 at tho samo rate of Interest. As soon ns Mayor Kelly returns there will be a conference and It Is thought that the city will bo glad to mako tho salo nt tho premium offered. If the sale Is made at this time thero will be no need for tho finance committee to worrv next year nnd no maturities will go by default, as has been tho case during the last twelve month. Councilman Ed Johnston and Treasurer Koutsky aro now engaged In figuring up the next yenr's maturltlos In nrdnr tn xnhmlt thn W.inrtM tn ih Tnlndn bond company. In speaking of this proposition yesterday a well known banker said thnt ho consid ered the proposition n good one. "If the fault for n wholo year tho credit of tho city will bo lilch nnd when tho 1D03 Issue becomes duo thoro will bo no trouble In i7tspo8lng of the securities." Tho members of the council who hare rend the Spltzer proposition aro favorable to It, ns they dcslro to escapo the trouble nnd annoyance, ef having to borrow money each time Issues of bonds become duo. Thero Is little doubt but that tho propo sition will bo nccoptcd by tho city. Thnt Wnrrnnt Cull. The holders of tho overlap warrants aro greatly Interested In the coming decision of Treasurer Koutsky as to whether he wilt call tho overlap warrants when ho makes a general call In January. A business man who handles largo num bers of city warrants in tho courso at a year said yesterday: "I have investigated this matter and I find that tho talk of Dan Hannon and Joo Koutsky Is all a bluff. They nssert that they aro Troasurer Koutsky's bond aud that they will withdraw If a call for tho overlap Is Issued. To bo plain, Koutsky hail no bond. Tho bond he filed prior to tho new charter was never ap- proved by tho mayor, although tho council Boni u to tno mayor tor approval, w nn tho now churter In force the old law Is re- pealed ana Koutsny has nover turnisnea me bond provided for In tho charter na It now exists, l havo consulted attorneys in mis matter and their opinion is that Mr. Koutsky has no bond, although he Is dally handling large sums of city money. No one questions the Integrity of Mr. Koutsky, but It In a fact thnt he has not compiled with the law; but this is through no rauit of his, as he has endeavored to do so.' At the banks the question Is considered o be a serious one., One prominent banker said, that if the troasurer. failed to call tho outstanding warrants, there would not bo a name or a misincss man in tne city wnu i would buy city warrants. Such action would, ho asserted, bring about a peculiar stato of affairs and tend to deprlvo city employes nd others from securing money earned. Mlea Kxpectrd Toilny Henry Mies, formerly a momber of the city council and until recently a collector for the South Omaha Brewing company, Is expected to arrive from Kuropo today. At tho tlmo Mr. Mies loft hero he drew all of his money out of tho bank and said that ho was going west to engage in ousiness. mstend no cnangea niB.minn ana weni m Dresden, Germany, where he remained sev- oral months.

Fred Uauman, business manager of the- Walters' union nnd organizer of that union takes exception to a recent report which has gained currency to the effect tht the union had resolved to make war upon the colored waiters of the city, "I wUh to deny this report," said he. "Tho Walters' union does not dealro to make, war on the colored waiters nnd the National union stands ready to organise a union of these men as soon as they express a wish for such action. In organizing the restaurants and hotels of the city tho union left a class of houses which employ a largo number of colored waiter out of ny at- tempt to force tho smployment of union waiters. We recognize, the fact that the colored waiters are entitled to employment nnd no attempt has been mado to taXo them from the regular hotels. I must say, how ever, that the last attempt to organize tho colored waiters In this city was a failure, from tho first there wns n clash ns to tho officer who would handle tho funds, and when the organizer decided that all funds should bo paid to the financial secretary nnd hy him to the treasurer, the recording eecretory left tho hall with tho dooks anu n more meetings wero held. Another report is that tne waiters non opposes tho formation of tho union t restaurant and hotel men. This Is a mistake. In many places we havo found t"t "ch a. union Is of benefit not only to tho employer, but to tho employe, as tho empioyo enn ueni wua nis employer n "lss and not with Individuals.

The noonday feast throughout the city Thursday by no means constituted the en tire Thanksgiving among tho city's poor. As a matter of fact those who wero engaged in the distribution of food and clothing were kept busy all afternoon and over at the City Charities station, at Eighteenth and St. Mary's avenue, tho work wns still In progress yesterday. The work this year was conducted some what differently than usual, tho gcnernl distribution being done thlolly by organiza tions In which men hnd tho supervision, and, nccordlng to n group ot youngsters who ought to know, If experience counts for any thing, '"Twnsn't no Thanksglvln' 'tall th' Jliit glv's some close And snmo stuff to lug home to cook, septln' down to thn Voluu tees!" Tho samo estimate of whnt really constitutes Thanksgiving was evidently shared by some of their elders as well, for thero was no little comparison among them between tho substantial, wholesome, though uncooked food given out to them and tho baked chickens and other proparod food which was so generally supplied last year. In speaking of tho work, Mrs. T. F. Pear man, superintendent of the City Charities, nnd one of tho most experienced workers In the city, said: "Of course, many of them ,aro unworthy, but that cannot he helped und wn feel that we havo reached most of the deserving onos, having supplied over iiOO families, most of whom wn know. It Is n difficult matter to discriminate, for these people are possessed of a common characteristic that tn tho un experienced would mark them all as un gratotul and unworthy. They will com plain and grumble, but In reality this Is only nn exhibition of humnn naturo In Its cruder form nnd they aro really grateful for what they receive. Hoy l'nlt of Cullr. "Fobji ,nstnnce, two small boys thnt I know lo ho deserving little fellowR fol lowed me around yesterday, fairly stuffing their pockets with every scrap of food or clothing they could get their hands on. Knowing quite well where the missing things were, I thought to obtain a confes sion by giving them something and then Inquiring for the vanished articles. Tho very first to volunteer to assist In the search were these two boys, looking mo Innocently tn tho faco and thanking me for my gifts, which they stuffed Into their pockets tho better to hldo the things for which they wero npparontly searching diligently. Another Instance. Ono child whom I know well came to me with a most pitiful story of thn generally distressing conditions nt home, Her mother being bIcIc of pneumonia, I told her that I would ndd some unusual delicacy and cau tioned her regarding Its care. Our conver sation was overheard by those nbout us, and Immediately tho entire gathering was seized with such violent coughing that In self-defense I was compelled to order all tho doors and windows opened to admit fresh air to check It. My remedy had the desired effect, and a very little of the chilling air sufficed to quiet them, but from that tlmo tho list of Invalid relatives Increased. Tot I know most of tho peoplo to te really deserving.''' When the workers arrived at ?:30 o'clock this morning to finish the distribution of clothing ninety-two wen, women and chil dren wero huddled about tho entrance.
