Perhaps the strongest opposition yet
evinced haa come from the Ulster landlords,
the majority or whom are said to be un
likely to ll their estatea.
T. W. Russell declarea that this difficulty,
arising from the absence of a compulsory
clause in the bill, will result In a con
tinuance of the agitation n Lister.
William O'Brien has Issued a manifesto
criticizing many features of the bill, but
strongly deprecating anything like a hasty
condemnation by the nationalist conten
tion. Generally speaking, the nationalists
heartily welcome the measure, not because
they regard tt la pttrfect, but because It
gives ministerial sanction to the principle
of state aid and because It la held to con
tain the germs of a future measure of self
government for Ireland.
Mr. Asquith, speaking' at St. Albaoa to
night, said, without being sanguine, cred
ulous or optimistic, he could not help think,
ing that If by a concordat, such as this bill,
they could hope for a satisfactory land set
tlement, U was not beyond the bounds of
statesmanship that a by like concordat
they should make an equally substantial
advance toward settling the problem of
lrlBh government.
Lord Londonderry, speaking at York, ex
pressed his unqualified approval of the bill.
Among the provisions which Mr. Wynd
ham did not explain yesterday la one sweep
ing away all arrears of rent, except for a
year preceding the passage of the act.

Its splendid new building, which was built
by Mrs. W. S. Benton of that city, as a
memorial to her husband. The building is
most complete and will make possible a
valuable extension of work.
The March meeting of the Woman's club
of the Railway Mall Service of Omaha and
Council Bluff was held on Wednesday aft
ernoon at the home of Mrs. F. H. Cole,
president of the national organization. Two
papers were presented In the line of the
club's course of study, one on "Bacteriol
ogy," by Mr. Q. K. McConnell, and another
on "Civil Service Reform," by Mr. C. C.

General interest is attached to the meet
ing of the National Council of Women,
which opened yesterday in New Orleana,
and will continue in aesalon throughout the
week. Almost the entire time will be oc
cupied with executive work, much of Which
Is most important. There will also be the
election of a president and vine president
and of delegates to the Berlin conference,
which convenes In 1905. Mrs. Mary Wood
Swift, of San Francisco, acting president of
the council, haa been In New Orleans for
the last week attending the suffrage con-
ventlon and ahe promise to be elected per
manently to the office she haa nilea so suc-
cessfully since the resignation of the presi
dent. There will be but one public session,
and at thla Miss Susan B. Anthony will pre
side, and Mrs. May Wright Sewell, presi
dent of the International council, and Mrs.

After a twenty-minute bualnesa session
the Women's Christian Temperance union
devoted Wednesday afternoon to a aym
posium of expressions from the various
members upon the subject, "Why I Entered
the Union and What I Consider the Moat
Important Department of It Work." It
waa decided recently that every second
meeting of the union should be devoted to
a program upon educational aubjects con
sistent with the Interests of the organiza
tion, and Wednesday'a program was the
first of the series. The talks were alto
gether interesting. Illustrating the variety
of sides of the temperance question, and it
seemed the opinion of the majority that
the educational work waa the most Impor
tant branch of the union's usefulness. The
next meeting will be devoted to business,
but these alternate program meetings
promise to be a popular feature of the ses
sions In future.
It has remained for the New York feder
ation to develop a real aenaatlon, one that
promises to be watched, for a time at least,
and .'that may serve aa it precedent for all
of clubdom. According to report, there are
certain phases of federation management
that have not met the approval of all tb
clubs and that soma of thj have refused
to countenance. Among these la the Brook
lyn Woman's club, which, after addressing
a manifesto of disapproval to the executive
board, voted to withdraw from th federa
tion. The manifesto was signed by some of
the moat Influential club women of the
borough, and the Brooklyn club may not be
the only ons to withdraw.
Membera of the board of wmen man
agers of the St. Louis exposition have re
cently held a conference with the national
commission with a view of securing a re
assignment of their work on more active
lines. One faction of the board objects to
the position of paaslv inactivity th board
now occjplea and Mra. Jamea Blair, presi
dent of tha board. Is ssld to be the leader
of thta faction. A request hss been sent
to the nstional commission asklnf a defi

haa been received.
With a whole lot of clubs winding up
their year' affairs and clearing their hooka
for next year' business thst matter of
club reporters Is having Its annual airing
along with the reat of tha houa cleaning
and the clubs that have not yet outgrown
tha problem are solving it all over again
with an energy worthy of a more moment
ous subject. It Is conceded by tha ma
jority that theae troublesome persons are
necessary avila and tha Rainy Day club of
New York, after deciding to employ urn
brellaa, rubbers, overshoes and like article
uggeatlve of It nam In tha decoration
of tha boxes It 1 to occupy at a coming
benefit performance, voted to set aside a
table near tha president' table to be used
by reporters at the open social meeting,
the one occasion when It waa deemed ad
visable to admit them. Aa a safeguard
against the rapture of any morsel not In
tended for tha public It was decided that a

In Suderman' depresslngly somber pres
entation of certain definitely settled social
conditions Mr. Campbell last night
achieved almoat a much ot a triumph as
In hla mora elaborate argument In favor of
a wider range of freedom for the exercise
of what might be called the right of per
sonal selection. Those familiar with the
unrelieved element ot tragedy which makes
up the whole play ot "Magda" need not be
told that the very silence of the auditors
Is Itself a tribute to the actor. It Is a
plsy that excites thought, not emotion, and
the feelings It engender da not find ex
pression In the very limited method al
lowed theater-goers for the manifestation
of their approval of an artist's endeavor.
"Magda" merely emphasizes the fact that
we do not care to take Into our homes, our
own Uvea, a phase of existence with whose
presence we are, theoretically at least, fa
miliar; and that those who are so unfor
tunate as to find themselves personally In
volved. In that existence may look for
neither mercy nor forgiveness from society
a at present made up. That is all.
Magda pleads, and the great art of Mrs.
Campbell adds a moat effective element,
the eloquence of pathos, to her pleadings
for her own life. Just a other have pleaded
before her, and finds her answer In her
father' death, her sister's sorrow and her
own scknowledged disgrace. So long as she
held aloof from that simple home, where
the austerity of a good man's unreasoning
belief In certain rules of personal behavior
and Individual responsibility created an at
mosphere in which - the sophistry with
which she bad supported herself fell from
her and she found out Just where she stood,
she believed herself, happy. More sinned
against than sinning, she found that no ac
count would be taken ot her excuses, and
that she must suffer for her sin. No phil
osophy can save her In the end.
Mr. Howe gave a most Impressive char
acterization to the role of Colonel Schwarta,
the father who loved his children Intensely,
who loved hi honor more and who loved
hi doctrine of paternal control above all
things. Mr. MacDermott made of Hcrr von
Keller what one may easily conceive to be
the typical moral coward. It Is a thankless
part, but demands much of the man who
essays It. Mr. Bryant has a much better
part as Pastor Heffterdlngk than was as
signed him In "The Joy of Living," and
ons evidently much more to his liking, for
he seemed to do his work with more ot
earnestness than on the first night, cer
tainly with more finish. The other give
their parts tha Interpretation one would
reasonably expect front a company support

There has been a broadening in Mrs.
Campbell's interpretation of "The, Second
Mra. Tanqueray" slnee Isst she was In
America. She Is the same, it is true, but
tha same with a difference almoat Inex
plicable to those who saw her then. All
her intensity of feeling, all her finely mod
ulated passion, all her graceful presence re
mains; but now all this is free from the
theatrical tones, ths old-time affectations.
Her voice, always sweet, resonant and full,
retains Just that touch of the brogue a
woman of her station might reaaonably ba
expected to use, but it has lost the clipping
ot tha "gs" and tha forced softening of
th long "as" which- were once so char
acteristic. With this change has corns another. In
tha audience, for now instead of focussing
compulsory attention on the foibles of the
sctor it loses ths impersonstor in the im
personated. It no longer follow Mrs.
Campbell, beautiful,' accomplished and
graceful, but Mrs. Tanqueray, sharing ber
hopes, her doubt and her final tragic
awakening to the full realization ot a hope
less future.
Of the play Itself little need be said, for
it has long taken its placs in dramatic his
tory. Yet this much perhaps may be per
mitted, since interpretation count so
largely in an "atmospheric" play, no genius
of the actor, no company manager ever
brought together, can ever render the story,
round which the drama ia woven Ilka silk
round a spool, logical and harmonious.
Mr. Plnero himself, and Mrs. Campbell on
hla behalf, have more than once claimed
that the Inevitable end of social wrong
doing Is shown by tha play. Yet Is this so?
Is it not mora true to say that Ellean's
laat despairing sob, "I wanted to forgive
her," shows the more rest attitude ot those
who are the salt of the earth toward these
sinners who pass through tha cleansing
fires of repentance?
As In ber other plays, Mrs. Campbell re
ceived admirable support from her entire
company.
Both afternoon and evenipg performance
were attended by audiences which easily
represent the Intelligence of Omaha, and
tha intense satisfaction derived from the
Intellectual treat afforded by the distin
guished actreaa and ber associates waa made
manifest In way that leave no room for
doubt a to the estimation of the people
for the star. Mrs. Campbell's brief visit
to Omaha may be set down as a success In
every way.

The recounting of the ballots caat at the

terdsy morning and advanced through four

two from tha totals of tha same precincts

county court.
In the Flrat of the Fifth, where the count
bad atood Lobeck 217 and McDonald .
the former lost one .because the voter had

In attempting aa erasure. In the Sixth

given 90 snd Lobeck 93, and In Fast Omaha,
where McDonald was given 47 and Lobecg
35, the district court count did not vary
from the county court count, so that Lo
beck's two were the only losses of the
day.
The court has not reached the matter of
failure of clerks and Judges to sign tho
back of the ballots properly. In the county
court Judge Vtnsonhaler threw out all the
ballot cast In the Seventh of the Sixth nnd
the Fourth of the Ninth on this ground,
and the result was that Lobeck, who other
wise would have had eleven plurality, was
counted loser by thirty-one voes. It Is
thought that the termination of the pro
ceedings now hinges -entirely upon Judge
Estelle'a affirmation or reversal of the lower
court' ruling.
In any event, it I thought, the contest
will go to the supreme court. Should
Judge Estelle deride for Lobeck, McDonald
can retain the seat on the board by filing
a supersedeas bond for double the amount
of the salary of the office for six month.
BAPTIST WOMEN AT A BANQUET
Men Act na Hosts and Servants
and Entertain Their Wives
Handsomely.
The men of the congregation of the First
Baptist church entertained the women of
the name flock In the rooms ot the Com
mercial club last night. The evening begau
at 6 o'clock with a reception to the guests,
the pastor. Dr. Conley, and the deacons
acting as a committee to receive. At 6:30
the guests and the larger number of the en
tertainers sat down to a course dinner,
which was served by twenty of the church
men, who wore white duck coats and badge
painted with Gibson and other girls by
Miss F. Wilcox. There were 140 covers.
The affair was a retaliation upon the women
for. the entertainment which they gava
last night's hosts eleven days ago in the
church parlors. The toasts and remarks
made during the evening largely dealt with
the plans ot the new church, which Is to be
erected on Twenty-ninth street between
Harney street and Dewey avenue. These,
as proposed by Architect McDonald on sug
gestions by the building committee, were
last night presented to the women fr an
expression of their opinion and for sug
gestions and remarks.
John R. Webster first" introduced Mr.
J, W. Conley, the toastmlstress, who spoke
on the enthusiasm aroused by the Idea of
building a new church. J. A. Sunderland
then, by aid of charts and plans, explained
the architectural points of the building as
planned, the general scheme being Orecian,
with Corinthian columns In front, a large
central dome and no spire. Dr. Conley then
spoke on the subject, "The Builders."
These toarta then followed: "What a
Church Stands for the Home," Mrs. J. R.
Webster; "The Church as a Workshop,"
Mrs. E. Benedict; "The Church as a Pro
tector," Mrs. E. B. Womersley; "The
Church as a Lighthouse," Mrs. Edward
Johnson; "The Church as a Nursery ths
Sunday School," Mr. George A. Wilcox,
and "The Church a a Place of Worship,"
Mrs. H. H. Bollard. v
These were followed by four "rifle shot:"
"A Good Report," Mrs. J. H. Daniels; "A
Good Aim," Mrs. George A. Clark; "Never
Kicks," Mrs. W. B. Smith, and "A Repeat
ing Rifle," Mrs. E. V. Fullaway. The novice
waiters did well, and while they broke the
glass out of the kitchen door, they spilled
no soup down the diners' necks. They were
Messrs. Rhodes, Wright, Norris, Hardy,
Conley, Householder, Pritchard, Sunderland,
