Amusements
To Queen Alexandra Is now ascribed th
activity of the English stage censor against
theatrical Indecencies. It la said to be due
to her Influence that Maeterlinck's "Manle
Vanna" was proscribed, and that Mme.
Rejane was asked to omit soma ot thn nl
leged strong play, of her repertory. While
the queen lav not "squeamish," she haa a
very rigid Idea of what constitutes public
decency, and ao far as her power and rx
ample goes she will aid In upholding a high
standard of purity. It Is quite likely that
America will feel the effect of the queen's
example, and that, to a largo extent at
least, the tendency toward the Impure on
the stage will be checked. If this be the
result, clean-minded Americans will have
something to feel thankful to England's
queen for.
The decadence of dramatic art, both In the
playwrltlng and playacting phases has been
much discussed and much deplored during
recent years. Some wrltera, whose en.,
thuslasm can hardly be distinguished from
hysteria, have hailed this author or that as
great, and bare exhausted the magaitoe of
superlative. In singing his praises. But
while these Impressionable people are
burning Incense before the shrines of ona
or the other ot the moderns, the public
taste Is surely and not so slowly swinging
away from their inanities, and that the
rogue of the classic drama will bo re-established.
Not that we are likely to be
overwhelmed with a flood of heavy drama,
or that the light and entertaining play la
' to be abandoned. That would be too great
a change. Most people still go to the the
ater to be amused and distracted, and will
in a large measure patronize any aort of
n1T that nromlae. this result. But they

Another Fhskeppear sn revival which
holds out promise of Interest Is to he the
medium of Introducing Miss Maude Adams
as Hosnllnd. At lat accounts Mr. Froh
man hal not determined whether to begin
the Adam eeseon with "As You Like It"
or wlih some new play, the nature of which
s kept a state secret. It will be renum
bered that several years ago Miss A'lama,
who Is sentlfllly a comedienne, with no
great tragedy In her manner, played Juliet
in a rnshlnn which but few enloyen. Koa.i
llnd will be rather more In her way, ex
hibiting as It does the lighter fanci s and
emotions of the human henrt. and this pro
vldt'S reason for the hope that when this
comedy is put on it will score an instant
success.
A story is told of a bright chorus girl
at present singing in a western opera com
pany who gained a good joke from one of
the serious happenings of life.
She at ono day by a window in her
dressing room, apparently in the depths
of melancholy. Seeing ber thus the prima
donna of the company thought to cheer
her.
The young woman drew her handkerchief
across her eyes. "Ah," she sighed, "Tom
and I"
"Don't tell me that you and Tom have
quarreled!"
The girl sighed again. "The end has
come," she said, "to all our moonlight
drives, to the tender whisperings beneath
tbe trees, to the boxes of caramels and
the baskets of flowers, to the verses he
wrote me, to the rivalries and Jealous
ies of sweetheart days, to the "

them best will still enjoy them most. And
we will take an intelligent Interest In such
fine warlike Indians as Buffalo Bill has with
him, real Sioux and Ogalalla warriors. It
hasn't been ao very long since some of us
played a eatch-as-ctch-can game for alps
with that sort of Indiana and we respect
them rather glad to aee them trying to
be good, too. And who, young or old, will
be indifferent to the dashing western girls,
equestriennes from their Infancy, who do a
Virginia reel on horseback? Ot course a
very great part of the Wild West entertain
ment will necessarily be entirely novel to
us. Some of us never saw the ocean, and
have no more idea of how the govern
ment's life-savers work a "breeches buoy"
to rescue people from a wreck than a mus
tang has of quarternions. But we will be
glad to see the crew with the Wild West
doing It. And we certainly will be In
terested In comparing our American cav
alrymen with the "rough riders" of Russia,
Turkey, France, Germany and England. In
fact we want to sfe alt the show.

of his friends and his friends' friends.
A .tory recently told by a former man
ager ot the actor relates a trip made
through Ohio some year. ago. Tbe txl
genclea of the route making made It nec
essary that Mansfield should appear on
successive evenings In three one-night
stands In that state. When he reached tbe
town In question he remembered it as a
place where he had appeared to a very
small audience two seasons earlier. When
8 o'clock came he appeared on tbe stage
dressed for his role, and peeped through
the hole In the curtain to size up the
gathering. Evidently he was not pleased.
for he returned to hi. dressing room with
a scowl on his face. Ten minutes lator
he reappeared, told the stage manager to
get ready to "ring up" and, took another
look through the peep-hole. '
"Forty-six persons forty-six!" he mut
tered. I counted 'em!" Then be found
himself face to face with the janitor ot tho
theater, who was on the stage, in the
hope of picking up a tip or two by helping
the actor, dress.
"Forty-six people!" repeated Mansfield.
'Say did you ever have a good house
In this town?"
O, yes, sir," aaid tbe janitor, confidently;
"but It burned down about .even years
ago."

TWENTY-FOUR NAMES STAND
Real Estate EifhHf Committee
Finds Itself laafclo Ante
a Fnair,
Aeoordtng to reports from the meeting
of the Real Estate exchange committee,
that organisation Is much In doubt as to
the four men who would suit the majority
over all others as members ot the Board
of Fire and Folic Commiasloners. The
committee held a meeting yesterday for the
purpose of reducing tho list of name, pub-
llbed in The Beo to four. This Is the way
the attempt resulted, according to a member
ot the committee:
"When we met every man bad his list
reduced to tour. These list, were then
submlttedjor the consideration of the com
mittee. These twenty-four namea were
then read and tbe result of Interviews with
prominent party leader, and bustnes. men
relative to the merits of each was made
known by persons securing the interviews.
A vote waa then taken to secure a reduction
and every man voted for the list he sub
mitted. Two or three other votes were
taken and we then decided to submit to
the governor all the twenty-four name, and
to tell him that any four upon the list
would be as aat'sfactory a. any other. It
wa. further decided not to make public the
twenty-four names fromthe list, but there
are no members ot tbe Real Estate ex
change upon 1U"
At 1 o'clock It wa. not known exactly
whether the governor would come to
Omaha or not. . J. W. Thomas said that he
bad had no word that he would come. 3.
H. Van Dusen and a number of politician.
Insisted that he would. The Real Estate
exchange committee bad no Information
upon the subject and one or two members
went out to Courtland beach, where the ex
change picnic was being- concluded. It was
later learned that the governor could not
come to Omaha as he bad Intended.

Blanche Walsh In a recent Interview re
calls a coincidence which. In her opinion,
augurs well for the-success of her new
rilay which Stanislaus Btange is now writ
rig for her and which Is founded upon
Flaubert's novel Balammbo. Miss Walsh
says that 'her first public appearance waa
made thirteen years ago when she wa. a
mere girl of IS, at an amateur performance
of Othello at the old Windsor theater, In
the Bowery, New York. She was the Des
demona and the gentleman who played
lago was this same Stanislaus Btange, the
author of the new piny she la to appear In
next season. The coincidence . lies In the
fact that Mr. Btange acoepted the commis
sion to write a play on the subject of Ba
lammbo for Measrs. Wagenhala & Kemper
long before these managers had any Idea of
making a contract to star Miss Walsh.

steed is ot regulation make and pattern, and will stand the
closest scrutiny. And at the head of this mighty host rides the .
originator upon fame's warpath, the last of the greater scouts,
to whom our army's safety was entrusted, Col. W. F. Cody
(BUM-ALU BILL).
It will be here just as represented. The day and date is
fixed: See the Grand Street Cavalcade and Review of the Rough
Riders and convince yourself that all we have said is true. Then
witness the Great Exhibition itself

THE BALLOON ASCENSIONS
Might be considered by many as
rather "chestnutty", but tho Courtland
Heach ascensions are the most novel
and sensational ever seen or attempted
when I'rof. Bam Murphy hangs on by
his teeth, waving an American flag In
either hand as his big balloon asoends
to the clouds, and hangs by his toes,
patrons realise the balloon ascension
well worth witnessing.
