SINN MAKES GOOD ON STORY
Writes to Eia Wife of Death and Eedeems

YOUNG MAN DIES AT COUNTY HOSPITAL

and Frleoda and Deatl
tate at the End.
"X tent word to my vlit int 1 wu dead,
uut now 1 am going to live up to it," Eaid
ataew C. Sinn to bis nurse at the county
hoepttal Krlda. Tbe nxt morning be
died.
The story of Sinn's life Is a story of a
struggle with drink, a fondness for which
has estranged him from bis wife and chil
dren and driven 'him from a once happy
home at Lonconnlng, Md. He was at one
time a respected citiien of that place and
Joined tbe Masonio lodge at Cumberland, a
short distance away. He was alo an
Eagle. Lately bis old friends have refuaed
to have anything to do with him, and a
letter from one of them to the Arcade hotel
In this city, where, Sinn stayed, hints at
some deep dlisgrace which bas overtaken
bis family on his account.
Sinn went tj Boneateel last fall to take
land, but spent all Ms money without se
curing any. He arrived at Omaha April 6
without money and stayed eight days at the
Arcade hotel. One day the manager, Wil
liam Hope, was surprised to receive a tele- (
gram rrom Maryland wnicn reaa:
"Was there 4 strange man found dead In
your hotel?"
Hope took the message to Sinn, who
confessed that he had written his wife to
the effect that be was dead, using the
signature of the manager. Ilia Idea was
that she would send money to pay funeral
expenses, and he would use It to go home.
He had already written to her several
times and she bad not deigned to notice
his, letters. If he could only get to see
her once, and perhaps obtain forgiveness
for some of the things he had done, he
would be happier, he thought. Under the
circumstances, be thought there was no
harm In the ruse he had employed.
The message was sent back to Maryland
that Sinn was at the hotel and alive. No
meney had come from his wife and no news
of her. Sinn became delirious from the ex
cesslve use of liquor and was taken from
the hotel by the Eagles ta the county hos
pital. 'He died there Saturday morning of
delirium tremens, his pet aversion seeming
to be multi-colored alligator He was
about 30 years of age and had three chil
dren, who are with his wife.

The feature of the cash market has been
the decline in the receipts of grains at the
principal markets and the very small move
ment from first hands. The largest num
ber of cars of wheat received at the Omaha
market any one day this week was ten,
on Monday, and the total ror the week
was only twenty-four cars. Omaha re
ceived as many as fourteen cars of corn
on Tuesday and on Saturday and the total
for the week was forty-seven cars. In oats
the total was thirteen cars. The corn re
ceipts all over the country were very light
and Chlcaro took only 2M cars for the
best day Tuesday. The total Chicago corn
receipts for the seven days were 674 cars.
St. Louis received 146 cars, Kansas City
121 cars and Omaha forty-sven cars.

AT THE PLAY HOUSES.
"The Heart of C'bleago" at the Krng.
Here is a play that was the wonder
of all ten years ago, when it was offered
for the first time. The daring flights of
fancy to which Lincoln J. Carter soared In
his reach for realism were then thought
to be even beyond- the limit. This feature
of the piece Is its strong attraction to
day, for its realists is still admitted. But
Mr. Carter did not make the mistake so
many others have and sacrlnc dramatic
action to scenery. 11c preserved the ver
ities In a measure at least, and gives a
chance for real acting. John T. Nicholson
is enacting the role of John Ames, the
villain of the play, and does It with such
consummate tact as to Justify the au
thor's daring In making It the star part,
Mr. Nicholson is a finished actor, and In
vests the part with an interest quite be
yond its intrinsic merit. He is surrounded
by a capable company, and the play, which
opened Its engagement at the Krug last
night was never better presented. It
will remain at the theater until after next
Wednesday night, with matinPes this aft
ernoon and on Wednesday.

A memorial celebration, to last from May

of this great man, for as far back as 1803,
on the 100th anniversary of hla birth, a
Schiller fund of I100.M0 was raised In Ger

What a glorious feaxt of music! Wagner's
masterly music drama was given a most
brilliant and superb presentation at the
Saturday matinee. Those who were unfor
tunate enough to have missed it can only
ennsole themselves with the hope that
Omaha may have the Savage Opera com
pany with us next season. "Tannhaeuser"
is an opera in the fullest sense of the word,
written while Wagner was under the In
fluence of Weber. Its ensembles, airs,
duets and finales take us Into the true
dramatico-musical form, and yet Is redo
lent of the old idealistic school. These
parts were so beautifully supported by the
perfect orchestration that it made a most
harmonious treatment of the drama that
surely must have appealed to the most
untrained ear. It went to the very soul of
the music-lovers present, filling them with
ecstatic delight.
In the first act the part of Venus was
stung and acted In a most beguiling man
ner, thus giving us another chancec to
hear Miss Newman's voice which was so
full of promise as Ortrud In Thursday
night's performance.
Tannhaeuser, who here first appears, la
seemingly embodied in William Wegener.
Physically he makes an ideal hero, while
his keen dramatic Instincts are equal to
every demand, his acting being full of
grace, ease and sustained power. But of
his voice, whax can not be said? It was
rich, resonant, of fine range and had that

The shot was heard at the police station
and Detectives Heltfeld, Donahue and Boyle
ran to the ecene and were directed by a
number as to the course the young men had
taken. Officer Ktsrane had kept track of
them, and the four officers cornerrd the
young men near the corner of Ninth and
Douglas streets and arretted them.
At the station a 32-callber revolver was
found on Carey. He was identified by Mrs.
Johnson as being the man who fired at her.
The other men were Ned Haxen of Sioux

young shepherd, sang her little pastorale
In a delightfully simple manner, which
called forth much praise. The meeting be
tween the now repentant Henry and his
friends of days gone by gives ample scope
j for Mr. Arthur Deane as the tender, faith
ful Wolfram, to Increase the favorable im
pression made tn his other role of the
Toreador.
The second act opens with the meeting
of Elizabeth and Henry in the ball where
the tourney of song Is to be held. Here
Mlas Rennyson did fine work, going far In
advance of her work as Els. Her piano
passages were most artistic, and the cres
cendos beautifully done. Her acting was
so spontaneous that it was fairly radiant.
It is such a pleasure to have heard more
of her work. But it Is the tourney which
called forth the greatest efforts in this
of Henry after his wild song of love.
Elizabeth, too, has wonderful scope In the
end of this act in her intercessions for
Henry's life and thankfulness that he may
perhaps gain pardon at Rome. So beauti
ful Is It to forgive that It may be the very
thought of the holy office led her to sing
this aria so beautifully.
In the beautiful autumnal scene at the
beginning of the third act Wolfram, the
ever noble, hi at his best. His song Is fol
lowed by the ever insistent theme of the
pilgrims who sang their chorus In a most
Impressive manner while Elizabeth searches
in and out among them In a heartbreaking
manner for Henry. Her famous prayer
following her fruitless quest, was given
with most wonderful sweetness and resig
nation, followed by Wolfram, who sings
"Thou Star of Eve" In a masterly manner.
When the unabsolved Henry appears and
relates the story of his pilgrimage to Rome,
the hero did superb work again as a singer,
but more especially as an actor. With the
appearance of the bier of Elizabeth the cli
max of power Is attained. It can never be
forgotten. A feeling of peace and rest Is
given when the blossoming staff of the pope
Is brought in and laid by the now sainted
Elizabeth, and the beautiful chorus work
which ends the opera was In perfect har
mony with this feeling. Such work as was
given at this performance Is seldom seen
or heard and words cannot do It Justice.
It was truly a great production,

Last night the season or opera was
closed with that old-time favorite, Verdi's
"II Trovatore." The schools of composi
tion represented during the three days
gave a fine insight Into the various forms;
the Italian school with Its subordination of
orchestration to the voice, seemed to please
the popular fancy the most. It Is so easy
to grasp, and yet so tuneful and melodi
ous. The stage settings were beautiful and
costly, Mr. Savage having spent a large
amount on this production, making It the
costliest performsnce of this opera ever
given.
Miss Brooks, as Leonora, gave us a bet
ter opportunity to bear her resonant voice
than In the smaller roles heretofore as
signed her. She did her songs finely, show
ing great flexibility in the staccato work
called for in her best songs; tbe one of
Joy at the Interposition of Manrlco at tha
convent door and tha other outside tha
prison.
In the part of Azucena, Marlon lvell did
splendid work rising above a very apparent
hoarseness in a manner showing fine vocal
training. Her acting and singing in the
tower scene were Immense.
Mr. Sheehan was presented In this per
formance as Manrlco, which suited him
much better than the part of Lohengrin.
If he would only open hla mouth and
throat and let out those rich tones that
are lying dormant what an Improvement
It would make in his singing. In all his
work he Is too much Inclined to allow
others to do the dramatic work.
Count dl Luna, tha rival of Manrlco,
sang his arias and caratlnss In a much
better manner than any other work he has
done. His singing of the old-time favorite
brought out a demand for its repetition
which would not be denied.
The minor parts were very well taken.
The anvil chorus at the gypsy camp and
martial song of dl Luna's followers were
decided successes. The opera as a whole
wras finely given, the orchestra under the
leadership of N. B. Emanuel doing splen
did work. Especially good were the vio
lins. Such a delight as It has been! May
we soon have the pleasure of hearing all
these people again.
