It 1 a tiro to ore bet that the manager
of the company that is plaing "The Maid
and the Mummy" doesn t have to tell tha
I girls in the , horus to go to bed after the
pcrfurro.tnce. Not much. Tf everyone of
that aggregation of youthful loveliness
Isn't re July to tear fir the hay as soon as
she gets her rnettimr-g safely tied up In the
Vlg bag that holds them h11 for they are
numerous anl plenty and into her omn
street cloth, then there's nolhli.g In the
thory that hard work is a cv e for Inscm
r.la. The chorus is the biggest pert of
tl.e show. s:id It is cn th- move all the
time, from the rising of the curtain to the
going down thereof. It doesn't sin-.ply man
euver in graceful steps to stately music.
but it dances and whirls and kicks up Its
hee.s r,t nods and waga its heads and bows
and waves its arms, and all to quick time
and with a general rhythmic effect. What
the chorus may look like In repose can be
imagined, but not realised, for It is never
still long enough to give one a satisfactory
glimpse. The general Impression Is that
the faces are young and fresh, with seniles
that hardly seem to come from the prop
erty box, and laughter that is genuine
while the bodies are trim and lithe and the
limbs, displayed with more or leae artless
abandon, are such as meet the ordinary
requirements of beauty. At any rate they
are shapely and nimble, and those that are
encased in skirts, keep billows of drapery
floating In clouds of vaii-colored lingerie
In dance after dance and picture after
picture. If any success attaches to this
production, It is surely due to the activity
and persistency of a chorus that Is a thing
of beauty and a Joy while it Is with us.
Miss Adele Rowland has the only voice
heard last night. She Kings very sweetly
with a mexxo soprano that has evidently
been well cultivated, for while It lacks vol
ume. It Is rich in tone and flexible In qual
Ity. The humor la contributed to In various
degrees by Richard F. Carroll, Eddie Gar
ved. Louis Wesley. May Boley, Bessie Fair
bairn and Janet Priest. Some of It Is unc-
tlous, some of It is diaphanous, and nearly
all of It Is far fetched, and not a little
is coarse. The piece Itself Is a conglom
eration of nonsense, strung together with
but little reference to continuity. The
music generally Is good, although two
numbers plainly indicate that they were
not acored by the hand that directed the
general composition. Mr. Carle, author of
the book very modestly announces him
self as furnishing the music as well as the
words to this pair. It was awfnlly decent
of him to thus exonorate Mr. Robert Hood
Bowers, who is responsible for the rest of
the music, most of which Is worthy of a
better cause, and who conducts his com
position unobtrusively but effectively. The
piec will stay at the Boyd until aftsr
Sunday night, with a matinee this after
noon and on Sunday

BRADSrREETS REVIEW OP TRADE
Iaelenaeat Weather Retards Dlstrtba.
tlve Trade aad Railway. Traffic.
NEW TORK, Jan. T-Brad streets to
morrow will say:
Inclement weather has retarded'dlstribu
ttve trade, railway traffic and acme forma
of production throughout a wide area. The
result Is some irregularity in the report,
from different sections. The northwest
seixhi relatively the best reports in ad
vices that spring business Is in excess of b
year ago and it Is to be noted that the
northwest shows an Improvement over
recent rather depressed conditions. The
cold weather, however, has accentuated the
duleness at the south, growing out ol
lower prices and brought business and col
lections down to a low ebb as com pa re a
with the exceedingly prosperous conditions
ruling a year ago at this time. The east
ern seaboard hss felt the chief force of thi
storm in interrupted railway and street
car traffic and reduced arrivals of country
produce and caused a partial suspension ol
coal mining and has been rallied from
quickly. Failures are below the normal for
mis season or the year.
Industry still leads distribution in ac
tivity. The volume of new buying in Iron
Is light, but specifications are coming out
freely and current production is above the
maximum. Seasoned Influences affect aalet
of lumber, but that industry la la a very
strong position In the northwest. Th
southern lumber and naval stores Indnsur
shows general Improvement and even In tl.
facinc noruiwest there are signs of reac
tion from the late Intense depression. An
thraclte coal is strotir and active, witr
stocks small, and in bituminous it is a
question of delivering rather thaa demanc
that worries the trade.
In distributive trade, the baclcwarrlne
of ootton goods demand is still a feature-.
dui signs oi improvement are seen here
In woolen goods the strength of the raw
material seems to foreshadow good tradr
despite the unwillingness of some buyers
to accept recent advances. Hardware
seems to be in active demand the country
over, iron ana steel prices are steady at
recent revisions, except in the case of old
material. wkJch Is weaker. Copper feenir
easier after the late spurt and lead I
lower, bhoe buying for ft.nna is r.t brisk
at the east, but manufacturers have fair
orders on hand and shipments equnl a year
ago at mis lime. xeainer is strong de
spite weakness In hides, due to quality
rather than demand.
The tendency is for general huvlner tf.
expand at the eait. though progress In
agreement on prices is slow. .

SHELDON TALKS TO STUDENTS
Scientific Salesmanship Espoanded to
a Lot of Omaha's Ambitions
Young Men.
A. F. Sheldon of Chicago, president
(if the Sheldon School cf Scientific Sales
manship, addressed a large audience In the
Ynung Men's Christian association par-lui-s
last night of young men who felt tnere
was something very wrong with their sys-..-rn
of business life and had come to get a
fe w tips on how to succeed. Mr. Sheldon
g;ive them a talk which had all the ear
marks of a sermon and which might be
taken by an unthinking listener for the
regulation gospel exposition. But It dif
fered. Mr. Sheldon, to btgin with, got his
lUililors t-iigtT and anxious by letting them
know SO per cent of huriness men full.
He divided the talk into a discussion cf
s.-veral quartets which sing the song of
succors in business life. The first four be
ong in the bunch called objective men
tality. The" are Intelligence, memory',
maglnailon and will. The second quartet,
which he designated as soul, numbered was
made up of faith, ns opposed to doubt; live,
the kindness to humanity sort, ambition, of
the genuine kind and reverence, for the
erreater men who have gone before In the
business world. The Inst quartet of suc
cess singers is ft r the b"dy and consists
of strength, symmetry, activity and endur
ance. "For." he said, "modern business
lite is a battle frcm start to finish."
Mr. Sheldon jxilnted out that buitlness Is
not a science, because It had no organized
knowledge back ot it. Attorneys, doctors
and oth-r men have professlcnol literature
unl can go to professional schools, but the
man starting In business has to learn
every thing in the school of hsrd knocks
which is ths best school, but very e
ocniiive Salesmen must have the ability
to demand attention. They must master
the business system of credits, of adver
tising, of insurance, of costs, and the sys
tem of business. This surplus knowledge
makes them ready to grasp opportunity
when it comes knot king at the bedroom
dixr.
At the close of the address the local stu.
deiits in th school met to form a club.
