Haay Bid Theas Farswelt A large number of Omaha people were at ths Fort to bid ths departing regiment good-bye, as was a host of friends and relatives of ths men. A number of ths en listed men were married men and soms very affecting scenes were witnessed as ths command boarded ths ears. Ths school at Fort Crook turned out entnsass to join in tbs general farewells. Ths troops first loaded their effects dur ing ths morning snd Immediately after noon mess the regiment was formed for parade snd review on tbe parade grounds for ths last time.

A great crowd had assembled st ths quartermaster snd commissary depots la the shade of ths buildings snd as ths regi ment passed, ths colors defiantly waving and ths band playing "Auld Lang Syne,M the cheers of men were mingled with the tears and sobs of women st ths realisation that ths Twenty-second waa leaving Fort Crook, perhaps forever. Some mothers hsd corns from distant states snd distant homes to bid their boys good-bye, and wives, sweethearts and sisters of ths depsrting boys gave a sombreneas to ths scans by their tears snd affectionate good-byes that recalled the war days of long sgn. The troupe were quickly loaded onto ths cars snd In less than sn hour from tbe time of the parade the two trains were whirling away toward the setting sun. As ths trains pulled out cheers and waving handkerchiefs were strictly in evidence, and even after ths trains had disappeared down ths cut ts ths southwest ths farewell cheers of ths vanishing comma ad were wafted back on ths afternoon breeze. Women lingered at ths track from where the troops departed, condoling with each other, and tbs general verdict was that the Twenty-second boys were a pretty good set of fellows and everybody bated to ses mem go.

Long may hs bs spared to delight the American public with his conceptions of ths two greatest of comedy characters, which he has made so essentially his own. Less than perfection from Joseph Jeffer- soa would surprise his audiences, snd ths DeoDls have cosos ts expect almost as much of ths actors whs ars associated with htm In his hrlef seasons. Admitting this, it is putting it mildly to say that tbs audience last night was most agree- sbly surprised and delighted by soms of the features of the performance, so strongly did they stand out sbovs even what waa looked for. Mr. John Jack, sterling old actor that he la. and known for more than a generation to western au diences, never plsyed a part with mors of unction and artistic seal than he put into the character of Sir Anthony Abso lute, and never was that character mors acceptably presented. Mr. Jack's methods srs those of ths Intelligent artist, and ths results he obtains are triumphs of histri onic ability. He fairly divided honors with ths star last sight, winning his recogni tion from tbs very start, and getting a warm recall after Us second appearance on ths scene. Miss Ffolllott Paget, too. was a surpris ing revelation. Her Mrs. Malaprop, with ber slmperlngs snd affectations, her gran dloss manners snd ridiculous speeches, was a source of keenest pleasure. Miss Paget's voice and manner ars of the sort that em bellish any part snd lend themselves with ready facility to a character such as she had in hand last night Miss Pemberton's Lydla and Miss Bender's Lucy are both well conceived and excellently carried out, ths young women adding the definite and essential graoe of youth and beauty to the parts offered them in ths play.

Tbs single point on which a complaint might be fas tened is Mr. Joseph Jefferson, Jr.'s Sir Lucius O'Trlgger. Hs lacks much of the unctious seal ons expects In the part; not that Sir Lucius was not a polished and most accomplished gentleman, but hs was slso a man of much more energy than Mr. Jefferson would have us believe. Mr. Sher Idaa was undertaking to pillory a certain faction of his countrymen when hs wrote that part, snd had ns intention of making it at all attractive.
