THE OMAHA DAILY TlEEi FRIDAY, STOYEMBETC 14, 1002. TCL'of Old Trocadsro Will Be Hade Into Hwdioms Modern Theater. MAY COST FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS trwrtwr Will B llela-Mrnrd to-Pro. i Tide for Ralrnny and (iallery and More Spare for the Siaae. "rully $40,000 and possibly I.IO.OOO will be expended on the structure," said William Krug la referring to the transformation of the old Troradero theater Into a modern, twentieth century house, which Is to be under the management for a decade of Hud son ft Judah of Kansas City. Workmen are now busily engaged in clearing away the old summer garden struc tures which adjoined tho Trocrtdero t od the tearing down process will soon begin on the theater building proper. The work Is to be pushed with all possible facility and the new house ready for use March 1. Mr. Krug says that while the building Is In the hands of the lessees he Is able to ay that the new structure will lack noth ing to make It a first-class and thoroughly equipped play house. The Identity of tho old building will be entirely lost In the formation of the new one. Another story ts to be added to the old building. It Is to be, extended sixty-six feet so as to front on Fourteenth street, where the entrance will be located. Instead of on Harney street, as Is now the ease. It Is sixty-six feet from the west side or the old building to the walk on Fourteenth street and the extension will be twenty feet wide. An Imposing two story entrance is to be built, and to add to the beauty and facility of this adjunrt a carriage portal and drivewnjr are to be erected. The entrance, therefore, will lead Into the west side of the Auditorium, since the stage will be located where It la now, at the north end. The south end of the house will be closed except for exits for gallery or emergency purposes. Another story will be added to the pres ent building, thus giving room for a bal cony, gallery and parquet. The stsge Is to be enlarged and, like the remainder ot the bouse, built after the best and latest fashion. The best material will be used In the building and a special effort la to be made to present an Interior that for .beauty will not tfe excelled la any other house ot the kind in the west. "Hudson ft Judah practically have a ten year lease on the property," said Mr. Krug. "It Is true their contract la made out for a five-year tenure, but their option for renewing the lease at the end of five years gives them, substantially, a ten-year lease." Aa an element of completeness the Krug Brewing company will erect a new two story building on the corner of Fourteenth and Harney streets, adjoining the new theater. Preliminary work on this build ing has already begun, and the structure will be finished as soon as the theater, so as to be ready for occupancy at the same .time. It will be used for bar and cafe pur .poses. Anrklen's Arnlen Saive. The best In the world for Cuts, Corns, Dolls, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum. Cures piles or no pay. 25c.

"The Tide ot IJfe" might be as appro priately called "The Tide of Death;" more "so perhaps, for while It brings life and happiness to only one or two.ot the people represented la the cast. It brings violent ending to all the rest, and narrow escapes '.from the grim reaper's clutches to every body. As a promoter of the coroner's busi ness It Is about forty city blocks ahead .of anything that has been at the Boyd this season and Is running easy under a double wrap. It has another great advantage: It doesn't require actors to present It; at least the present owners are apparently ot this opinion, for they have neglected to supply any. It contains plot enough for thirteen plays; mystery enough to give Sherlock: Holmes perpetual employment, and crime enough to stuff a dozen state's prisons were It all ferreted out and Us perpetrators given their deserts.

Probably the most com mendable thing about the whole affair Is the brevity of the company's engagement it appearing here for oue consecutive per formance only. BOYS CONFESS TO BURGLARY Thomas Moas and Arthar Sylvester Arrested for Breaking; lata Stores. , After committing severs! burglaries Without detection, Thomas Moss of 1507 Webster street and Arthur Sylvester of 614 North Fourteenth street, a white and a colored boy, each about 19 years of age. were arretted yesterday evening. The crime which brought them to Jail was the breaking and entering of the Pregler Theodore tailoring establishment, 6 ID South Sixteenth atreet. Tuesdsy night. The ar rest brought out the fact of the connection with the other burglaries. Tuesday night two overcoats, three suits of clothes and two pairs of trousers were taken from the tailor shop, entrsnce being gatned through a rear door.

Cable advices re ceived here today record yet another In stance of success In the American Inva sion of Europe. It Is. however, on this occasion not an industrial or commercial triumph alone, but an artistic one, which Is so chronicled. The International Ex position ot Decorative Art, under the patronage of King Victor Emmanuel II, has during the last summer attracted to Turin not only the German emperor, but thousands of visitors from the four quar ters of the globe. This week the final awards of the judges In the various sec tions were made known, ana it appears that In one department at least America haa carried off the highest honors. The Gorham Mfg. Co. of New York has re ceived the gold medal or the highest award bestowed on silverware for lta exhibit ot finely-wrought silver. The competition be. tween the nations was exceptionally keen, England. Germany, Russia, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and France vlelng with each other and with the United States to carry oft the honors In every department of the Applied Arts. The Gorham exhibit In cluded over 100 pieces, ranging from speci men forks and spoons to elaborate center pieces and loving cups ot Martele and Athenlc ware. Combinations of silver and cut-glass were also shown, and it is said that the whole exhibit, which occupied one ot the most prominent places in the build ing, waa little short of a revelation to European art craftsmen.

John Mauer, a young man living at Thirty-sixth ana Hamilton streets, was contlned in the city Jail last night on re quest of his father, the eon having become violently Inaane. He has been mentally afflicted for some time and lately has grown so bad that It was feared he might harm blmselt or some member or the family. Some boys were annoying: John Cocan. a driver for the Puritan laundry, who was drunk, last night, and he chased them Into the cigar shop st 608 South Thirteenth street. The proprietor objected to bis pres ence In the place and ran him out Into the street, following him. t'ogan then knocked the cigar man down and kicked him In the face. He then defied Officer Cuelck to ar rest him and made the proceeding as diffi cult as possible. Dave Tobln of 1122 Jackson street waa ar reated last night and charged with being drunk and abutting his family. Tobln came to the station early In the evening and asked for an officer to accompany him to the house where his wife was staying, as he wanted to get some clothes he had there and wished to avoid trouble. Mrs. Tobln said- that Tobln had riven the clothes to a man for doing some work. The officer then left Tobln on his promise to return to the house where he la staying. He evldentallv was not satisfied, but returned and started a row. His arrest followed. PAIN 1ELI n 8 8 eks Wwi DEMAND INCREASE OF WAGES General Committee of Order of E ail way Trainmen in the City. WILL MEET UNION PACIFIC OFFICIALS Present BialnrM t onceras Only Switchmen, as Demands of Coadnc tors and Brnkemew VIII Come Thronah Other Organisations. Several members of the genersi commit tee of the Order of Railway Trainmen, which is to present a formal demand to the Union Pacific for Increase In wages, are In the city, hsvtng tsken up headquarters at the Arcsde hotel. Those who are here are: J. E. Murphy, Grand Island, chairman; Charles Bogue, North Platte, secretary; F. P. Ferryman, Omaha; Robert W. Cain, Kansas City; J. F. Campbell, Denver, and J. T. Garrett, Cheyenne. While this order Includes some brakemen and conductors. It Is composed chiefly and primarily ot switchmen, meaning men who work In any capacity in the yards of the Union Pacific. The switchmen, therefore, are the cnly ones to bo affected by the proposition to be submitted. The brakemen and conductors' orders will deal with their own affairs separately. The Order of Railway Trainmen Is the regular order for switchmen. Another small organization, known as the Switch men's Union of America, exists, but has a very small membership. On the Union Pa cific there are but two lodges, each with but a few members. Notwithstanding the fact of the separate organizations, how ever, all the switchmen, those in the minor organization as well as those in the origi nal order, are to be affected. Want Twelve Per Cent Raise. The demand which will be made will be the same amount of Increase granted by the lines terminating In Chicago. These concessions were 3 cents more an hour for all yardmen except foremen, who were given 4 rents. This will mean substan tially a 12 per cent Increase. It waa the original plan to ask for 20 per cent In crease, but after the Order of Ratlwsy Trainmen made Its demands at Chicago the Switchmen's union interposed a demand for less and accepted 2V4 and 3 cents. This had tho effect of defeating the alms of the parent organization to get what they wero after. Only one principal trunk line, the Rock Island, entered into and completed negotiations with the new order. Not until tbeso demands were made was it generally known that a division existed among the switchmen ot the west. The claim Is made by members of the original order that the now .union was organized wi'h a view of undermining the brakemen who Identified themselves with the Order of Railway Trainmen. It is likewise, claimed that such a plan will prove utterly futile, and that within a short time after the new scale of wages being conceded to the main order goes Into effect disintegra tion of the new branch will set in. These men In the new order being as much the beneficiaries of the larger concessions as the men whose organization secured it will. It is held, naturally be drawn away from their minor organization and find their way gradually Into the central body. Mrlkc Is Not Anticipated. The trainmen have no doubts whatever as to their success -in securing the conces sions they demand from the Union Pacific. They say they have no grievances to offer, simply a plain demand for more money, which they think Is due them, ss well as all other trainmen throughout the country. owing to the increased cost of living and In view of the constantly Increasing earnings of the railroads. The thought of a strike la scarcely entertained by them, as they look upon such a contingency as too re mote to be entitled to serious considera tion at this time. The men feel confident they will secure a satisfactory adjustment of their affairs within an hour or two after meeting the officials. President Burt's absence from the city may have the effect ot delaying the con ference. ('haste in Train Schedules. The Northwestern has changed the schedules of its passenger trains Nos. 501 and 504 so as to send them on through to Pierre, 8. D., Instead of terminating their runs at Huron, as has been done. This will bring the former train Into Huron at 7:40 a. m. as before. Returning, No. 604 will leave Pierre at 2:20 p. m. and arrive at Huron at 6:45. These schedules obtain every day except Sundays. Arrangements have been made so that coaches from Chi cago on No. 601 will run as far as Water town, making connections there for Huron and Pierre. FA KB 1IA1K 1'RKPAHATION Do Hair No Good, bnt Often Canse It to Fall Ont. Many hair preparations are "fr.ke" be cause they are merely scalp Irritants. They often cause a dryness, making the hair brittle, and, finally, lifeless. Dandruff Is the cause ot all trouble with the hair. It Is a germ disease. The germ makes rut! cle scales as It digs to the root of the hair. where It destroys the hair's vitality, caus ing the hair to fall out. To cure dandruff the germ must be killed. "Destroy the cause you remove the effect." Newbro's Herplclde Is the only balr preparation that kills the dandruff germ, thereby leaving the hair to grow luxuriantly. Bold by all druggists.

JAPANESE GIRL WRITES OF AMERICAN LIFE Herbert F.. Hamblen Writes a Book Rntltled "The Red Shirts," Which Telia of the Heroism of the Volunteer Firemen. One of the most talked of books this fall Is "Confessions ot a Wife," by the mysterious "Mary Adams," which has been appearing serially in the Century Maga zine. It Is written In the form ot a diary and letters which tell the heart-and-soul story of Marna Trent. "Wilderness Girl" and deserted wife. The motif Is the con duct toward each other ot a high-strung wife (deserted by her husband) and ot a physician who haa long been in lovo with her. and who proves to bo her mainstay In her almost unendurable situation. Ip these days of loose ideas of marital re sponsibility, the book carries a wholesome. aluable lesson. Mama's growth Into a wiser wife and a better self-poise Is paral leled In the experience of thousands: and Dr. Robert Hazloton Is, Indeed, a knight of the twentieth century. Tho shadow of tragedy that lurks mysteriously between the lines of the diary steps out boldly upon Its pages toward the end; and then ' comes the climax of the story in ' which Dr. Robert" plays his noble and pathetic part. Mama's attitude toward her hus band and toward her friend. Robert, is the phase ot the book being most discussed. Published by the Century company. "The American Diary of a Japanese Girl" Is an Interesting account of American llfo by Miss Morning Glory, whoever that is. A Japanese girl IS years of age starts from Tobla, landing at San Francisco, where she declared if she was mayor sho would build free bath houses around the wharf" and that "it was no use to look beautiful In a cycloDe city." The most of tho journal is written in California. Some of her views of American manners and life are amusing. The impressions of the softness of Ameri can beds being that she was "exercising in her sleep." while because of the rush In the cities "the lazy halt of a moment on the street must have been regarded, I fan cied, as a violation of law." She goes to New York, where because of the oppor tunities to study the households she ac cepts a position as psrlor maid, assuring us her next diary will be "The Diary of a Parlor Maid." Published by Frederick A. Stokes company. Now -the firemen have a novel In "The Red Shirts." by Herbert E. Hamblen. The author has given vivid pictures of "The Red Shirts" of old; how they put out con flagrations, carried on thblr organizations, had balls, picnics and parades, mado love to the pretty girls, were the keenest of rivals in all contests. The hero aa a boy 'runs with the machine," and later on joins the department and works his way up to the position of chief. Of necessity the book is filled with thrilling scenes, including the rescue of a pretty girl who plays an im portant part in the drama. There is a true-to-life picture of a firemen's ball, a picnic, and the jolly good humor of the 'annual parade," changing to the keen tragedy of the man who died at his post. A pretty love story increases an Interest which starts at the beginning. Published by Street ft Smith.
