A visit from "The Storks" to Boyd's
theater last night was sufficient is call
forth a good audience, which applauded
vigrously the music, mors or less tuneful,
not much of It original, Jokes which were
clever, or mannerisms which were funny,
characteristic personages who were decid
edly original, and a chorus of vigorous
voloes, to say nothing of the local remarks
and "joshes" which wers frequently In
evidence. The soloists were of ths usual
light opera style, wltb the one exception
of Miss Harriet Standon, who showed an
unusuallly good voice, wltb a good style
of tone production, marred only by a care
lessness in tiis pfouuuiilalluu of certain
words.
Miss De Sousa, who was heralded as an
Omaha favorite, was much encouraged by
her audience. It was evidently in sym
pathy with ber throughout the entire even
ing. She has a very winning personality,
a bright, pleasing and nromiseful voice and
an bonest straightforward way of singing
and acting which satisfies one by its ear
nestness. Ths duet In the first act which Intro
duces Miss Ds Sous and Frank Kushworth,
ths tenor, was bds of the gems of ths
evening. It was novel in every way, and
If the ending was sweetness long drawn
out, it was a 'etching bit f haraaonioue
work. Mr. Rusbworth did aome very good
work in ths "Song of ths Night," exhib
iting a good voloe of effective and musical
quality, with a tendency to push bis upper
tones, or let them die into falsetto. He
has a good stage presence.
Mr. Wolff has a voice. It is a mighty
voice. He uses U mightily and if hs may
be criticised for over-strenuousness, b
must certainly be praised for bis infusion
of dash and vigor to every scene in which
be has a lead.
Mr. Richard Carle, who wrote most of
the libretto, directed the performance per
sonally and was ons of the "Storks" when
be was not busy "bungling," as it were,
In bis capacity as the Bungaloo of Bak
terla, was very mirth-provoking. In fact,
he was distinctly "all right." His work
was of that quiet nature which provokes
the audience to the heartiest enjoyment.
The real Barns bee type cf comedy, and bow
rare it is! Mr. Carle and bis fellow stork,
Gilbert Gregory, made good with the audi
ence from their first entrance to ths last
curtain. Miss Johnson did some Interest
ing character work, as did also the Ir
resistible William Rock, with bis sepul
chural "Brlsopholua." The chorus was com
posed of fresh, vigorous voices, ths men
very robust and ths women vary bright.
The ensemble effects were well worked up.
and there was no lack of climax.

LONDON, Oct. 14 Internal strife grow
ing out of the question of allngisnce to
Lord Roerbery or Sir Henry Campbrll
Bannerman culminated in disorderly
scenes and striking vituperation at a meet
ing yesterday of the Soottteh Woman's Lib
eral Federation, composed of the wives of
members of Parliament and other notable
persons.
The members were specially gathered to
receive ths resignation of the president.
Lady Helen Munro-Ferguson, the late Lord
Duffertn s daughter. Fbe. it appears, after
the federation had passed a motion pledg
ing confidence In the liberal leader in the
House of Commons, Fir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, bad sent rut circulars of Lord
Rueebery's liberal league, with the view, fco
It was charged, of turning the federation
Into sn Instrument of the former premier.
In spite of resolutions, to the contrary,
Lady Helen persisted In staying in the chair
while the discussion of ber conduct was
going on. Fbe hotly declared the federa
tion showed the most Indecent haste In
desiring to pet rid Df ber, adding: "I am
In the chair and in the chair I will re
main." One of her supporters, the wile of a
member of Parliament, made personal
charges against their opponents and In
spite of hisses and prolonged Interruption,
Lady Helen persisted that she be allowed
to continue.
The wife of another member of Parlia
ment declared that the executive commit
tee bsd deliberately tampered wltb Lady
Helen's circular by issuing It wltb under
lined sentences which were not marked by
the president. This statement was greeted
by a chorus of hisses from the Scotch
women assembled.
Then the delegates stood up and shouted
and wild confusion prevailed while the
tellers for the vui.e were appointed.
Lady Helen, referring to one of the
women chosen, said: "She should at least
be trusted." Whereupon all the other
tellers, believing tbelr honor to be Im
pugned, refused to act. A ballot was im
mediately taken and after the uproar had
subsided it was found that Lsdy Helen's
lignatlon bad been accepted by 133 to 3
votes.
The countess of Aberdeen was then
elected president.

IDEAL SOCIAL EXISTENCE

Talks af Wast May Ve Doif
for Mankind.
Dr. Ira W. Howerth rf Ch.irn.go delivered
bis second lecture of a series at the First
Congregational church last night on "Ele
ments cf the Social Ideal." A larger at
tendance than on former occasions was
present.
Dr. Howerth said that tbe solution of tbe
social problem should be by evolution and
not by revolution, and In order that these
steps may be taken !n the rirbt direction
a practicable and realizable social ideal
Khnuld be constructed. "It will pot do to
bare this ideal established from Imagi
nation, but from a scientific study of so
ciety. No one li able to foretell in detail
hat society ts to become, but from what
la already known tf the course of social de
velopment in tbe past it may be safely pre
dicted what line future social progress will
follow. Tbe future society exists poten
tially in the prevent and it must there
fore be discovered what elements there are
to mould tbe ideal. A few elements are
now revealing themselves . In social life
which are tbe fundamectal requirements of
an Ideal humanity. These are a high de
gree of social Intelligence, perfected social
organizations for the accomplishment of
social tasks and tbe truly co-operative
spirit.
"We must look forward to a realisation
of society in which nothing lncor;stent
with these elements may be found: a society
In which the atrocities of the individual
and naUonal strife will no longer be per
mitted: a society in which kings and em
perors will no longer exist because no one
will assume authority over his fellows."
A general dlscuselon followed the lec
ture. SEARCH STARTLES JAILERS
Pocket, af la.ane Prlaaaer's Clotkea
Give l a Tvra Baskets af
Traak.
It fa the stern, solemn truth that when
a prisoner at the county jail was searched
yesterday afternoon there was taken from
bis coat and vest enough rubbish to fill
two market baskets. Frank Kochar was
his name and be bad just been brought In
from the fiver bottoms of East Omaha by
a deputy sheriff with an insanity warrant.
Upon bis arrival in tbe Jail the official
"frisker," who Is the brave man who reaches
into strange pockets to get be don't know
what, made a Gastonlan bow and delved
into the first hole be saw. He brought forth
a soap wrapper, two long pieces of fish line
and a book of Instructions on palmistry
that kind of palmistry that enables one
to look at tbe back of another man's hand
and tell instantly whether it Is worth
while to drew any more cards.
The next handful consisted of more paper
and that article of woman's apparel which
lnntrs something like a shopping bag, yet
which goes on before the shopping bag and
still is behind tbe shopping bag. To de
scribe tbe rest of the searching process is
not worth while. It was merely the process
of pulling one handful of trash after an
other from the recesses of that marvelous
coat and vest, the most sensational piece,
Perhaps a dead mole. It was discovered
that he bad silt the' pockets of the gar
ments and weighted the lining wltb this
valueless trash. Wien the search was
complete two market baskets were heaped
above their rims with the stuff. Kochar,
who Is 62 years old, gives no explanation of
bis Strang mania. - - ' '

"As Seen from the Ranks," by Charles K.
Benton, is a private soldier's account of the
civil war. Mr. Benton belonged to tbe
One Hundred and Fiftieth New York state
volunteers, went to war in the fall of
1b&. as a volunteer in what was called the
Dutchess county regiment, and was as
signed to duty as a musician. His regi
ment, after some drilling near bome., was
sent to Baltimore. His first battle was
one to open the eyes of a young soldier,
being none other than Gettysburg. He re
lates several amusing incidents happening
while in camp at Baltimore. His account
of experiences at Gettysburg ars excep
tionally good. He believes most soldiers
are both bruve and cowardly. He devotes
two chapters to hospital experiences. The
chanters on Fherman's march to tk sea
and return northward are full of interest
ing incidents, both humorous and pathetic.

HOWIE RULE IN IRRIGATION
aec-rrtarT Maxwell Says Irrtaatars af
West Saaala Wtrk lade
fteaaratly. The meeting of the executive committee
of the Commercial club at noon yesterday
sounded an echo of the irrigation congress
beld at Colorado Springs last week. George
H. Maxwell, tbe executive chairman of the
National Irrigation asaoclatlon, was preent
snd delivered an address. In which be pre
sented tbe reasons for continuing the x
latenoe of tbe association. Tbe address
touched upon many phases of tbe work of
Irrt ration.
"The educational propaganda which the
National Irrigation association has been
carrying on for the last three years and
which has changed tbe public sentiment of
tbe east from opposition to a generally
favorable sentiment must be enlarged ten
fold and carried Into tbe west as well as
Into tbe east," said Mr. Maxwell. "Home
rule in irrigation should be tbe slogan of
the Irrigators of ths west from this time on.
Tbe individual Irrigator should manage his
own ditch on bis own farm. Each canal
system, large or small, should manage its
own aCalrs. Where more than one canal
system takes water from a single stream
tbry should all be organized together iuto
one association to manage their mutual
Interests and divide tbe water among them
selves. If public officers are necessary, each
drainage basin should be organised sepa
rately into an administrative district, hav
ing power to elect Its own water commis
sioners and ditch tenders. No such officer
should be appointed and put over any irri
gated community by any governor or any
state board of any kind, and no such ad
ministrative district should be organised
unless it is done voluntarily by the Irri
gators themselves Upon tbelr own Initiative
and -vote."

During the ten hours of argument allotted
In the I'nlon Pacific injunction Against tbe
strikers tbe pith of the line of thought of
each opposing side has been plainly brourht
out before Judges Munger and MrPhcrsnn,
sitting in Vnitrd Stctes circuit court. For
the railway company John N. Baldwin fin
ished his fourth hour of argument at noon
yesterday, and had one more hour for clos
ing between 4, and S in the afternonn.
Meanwhile for the strikers Ed P. Smith
completed his three hours' .argument at 11
o'clock In tbe morning, and C J. Smyth
finished for the defense with two hours In
the afternoon, commencing pt 2 o'clock. The
sum and substance of tbe argument of the
railroad counsel has been as follows:
"Testimony has been introduced showing
that stnee the beginning of tbe strike there
have been twenty-four assaults, one murder
and forty cases of threats snd Intimidation
resulting from It. This shows exactly v. hat
tbe picket line has done and forms ample
basis for the granting of an Injunction
against it."
To this the defense has made reply:
"It has been shown that of all the men
Involved in this injunction only twelve have
been guilty of any misdemeanor or wrong
conduct as charged. For the handling and
proper punishment of these malfeasants the
criminal laws of the state are ample and
sufficient. It would be an outrage to issue
an Injunction including tn its purview 2W
men Innocent of any offense because half a
score have misbehaved."
If tbe Injunction is granted it Is the Inw
that not only the 140 odd men mentioned ia
the application and served in the rase Hre
Included In its scope, but a'l men even
bearing of it.
